The centre's technology has been upgraded and new systems of operating have been introduced. Personnel in Stornoway will also be able to share their workload with other stations, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said. Angus Maclver, maritime operations controller at Stornoway, said the public would not notice any difference. He said: "If you call 999 and ask for the coastguard, or issue a mayday broadcast, we will still be here to help you. "The new national coastguard network will be able to oversee and assist with operations around the whole of the UK. "Here at Stornoway we're now part of this network, so we can call upon help from our fellow coastguards elsewhere in the country, and also in turn help them out if needed." He added: "It's important to remember though that the rescue teams in your community are unaffected. There will still be the same number of lifeboats, coastguard rescue teams, helicopters and other rescue resources." The national network is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of this year. Aberdeen joined the network in July. Christopher McNerlin, from Stratford-upon-Avon, was on flight BA0104 on Friday when he was bitten on the arm. The Metropolitan Police said a 21-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm and being drunk on board an aircraft. Mr McNerlin was permitted to sit in the cockpit as thanks for his efforts. He later posted pictures of the bite mark to social media, along with one of himself giving the "thumbs up" as he sat in the cockpit. Read more news for Coventry and Warwickshire He wrote: "That time when you help restrain and handcuff a nutter at 40,000ft. "He bites you, but it's all OK because Captain Kendal lets you sit in the cockpit." British Airways thanked Mr McNerlin for his help and said the matter was being dealt with by the police. The Met said the arrested man had been bailed till late May and confirmed the injured passenger received medical assistance for a minor injury. This initial venture will involve a satellite going to the Red Planet to study trace gases, such as methane, in the atmosphere. The orbiter will also drop a probe on to the surface to test technologies needed to land the second mission - a rover - that should arrive in 2019. The path to this point has been a tortuous one, with the programme coming close to collapse on several occasions. ExoMars has gone through several iterations since being approved formally by European Space Agency (Esa) member states in 2005. Its vision has expanded from a small technology demonstration to a two-legged endeavour that will cost in the region of 1.3 billion euros. In all the upheaval, ExoMars has also now become a joint undertaking with the Russian space agency (Roscosmos). The new partner literally rescued the project when the Americans dropped it as a priority, and will be providing key components and science instruments for both missions, as well as the Proton rockets to get all the hardware to Mars. Wednesday saw officials from both Esa and Roscosmos inspect the finished satellite and test lander at Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, France. TAS is the lead European contractor for ExoMars. One of its senior directors, Vincenzo Georgio, said that it had taken a herculean effort to get the satellite and demo lander ready for flight. "The baby's there in the cleanroom and ready to go," he told me. "How did we get here? Two reasons. The first was the willingness of the people who wanted this programme. And the second was that, despite all the storms - the funding problems, the politics - we worked as if nothing was happening outside. We worked triple shifts; we worked seven days a week. And you see the result." The 3.7-tonne Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is equipped with remote sensing experiments that will make a detailed inventory of Mars' atmospheric gases. A key quest is to better understand the presence of methane. From previous measurements, its concentration is seen to be low and sporadic in nature. But the mere fact that it is detected at all is really fascinating. The simple organic molecule should be destroyed easily in the harsh Martian environment, so its persistence - and those occasional spikes in the signal - indicate a replenishing source of the gas. The explanation could be geological: a simple by-product perhaps from water interactions with particular rock minerals at depth. There is, though, the tantalising prospect that the origin is biological. Most of the methane in Earth's atmosphere comes from living organisms, and it is not a ludicrous suggestion that microbes might also be driving emissions on Mars. "We are very interested in (a) trying to confirm the presence of methane and (b) also being able, maybe, to explain the origin," explained Esa ExoMars project scientist Jorge Vago. "And either way, whether the origin is geological or biological - if the methane is coming from the sub-surface it requires the presence of liquid water, and that points to a Mars that is more 'alive' than we have thought up to now." Schiaparelli is the entry, descent and landing demonstrator. It is named after the 19th Century Italian astronomer Giovani Schiaparelli, who used his telescope to describe surface features on the Red Planet. He famously mapped what he called "canali" or channels, which others would later confusingly (perhaps lost in translation) refer to as canals. The 600kg Schiaparelli probe will attempt the hazardous task of putting down safely on Mars' Meridiani plain. Some of the systems it uses in the process of entry, descent and landing - notably its radar, computers and their algorithms - will find employment again in the Russian-built mechanism that puts the ExoMars rover on the planet in 2019. Even if it works, Schiaparelli will be a short-lived affair. It will have battery power to run a few environmental sensors and transmit their data home, but that is all. There will not even be an "I'm on Mars" photo because it carries no surface camera. It is hard to believe today that any probe would go to the surface of another planetary body without this capability, and its omission on Schiaparelli is a decision senior Esa officials say they now regret. All that said, the TGO will have a spectacular stereo camera aboard, which its principal investigator, Nic Thomas, hopes will provide a steady stream of imagery for the public to enjoy. "The public can get engaged in this stuff very, very quickly, and it's nice to be able to feed that," he said. "Our target is to try to get images out into the public domain in three months after they've been acquired." The TGO satellite, Schiaparelli and all their support gear head to the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in mid-December. Roscosmos is making the Proton ready for launch on 14 March. Arrival at Mars occurs in mid-October. The 51-year-old lawyer was released from prison in August 2014. At the time, his lawyer described Mr Gao, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, as emotionless, "basically unintelligible" and missing teeth due to malnutrition. Mr Gao was speaking to AP, in his first interview in five years. He said he was tortured with an electric baton to his face and spent three years in solitary confinement. Mr Gao is known for defending members of the Falun Gong movement and Chinese Christians. "Every time we emerge from the prison alive, it is a defeat for our opponents," he told the Associated Press from his home in Shaanxi province. Unfortunately, the Chinese government's crackdown on Chinese defence lawyers did not end with the Gao Zhisheng's release from prison. If anything, Mr Gao's persecution represents the start of a wide-ranging campaign. According to Amnesty International, 245 Chinese lawyers have been targeted by police since early July. Thirty are still missing or remain in police custody. That number does not include other leading lawyers, like Pu Zhiqiang, who was arrested in May 2014 and has yet to face trial. Many of the detained lawyers endured weeks of interrogation. Their families have been harassed, their homes and offices raided. Some have experienced violent beatings. Mr Gao, whose wife and children live in the US, also said he would never seek exile abroad. He described staying in China as a "mission" given to him from God. Mr Gao was convicted of subversion and placed under house arrest in 2006, during which time he claims to have been regularly detained and tortured. He disappeared in January 2009 before reappearing in March 2010. He disappeared again soon after and was revealed to be in a Xinjiang prison in January 2012 after state media said he was being jailed for three years for probation abuse. Mr Gao said that propaganda was broadcast via a loudspeaker in his prison cell for 68 continuous weeks. The Chinese government is yet to respond to the interview and has not responded to other allegations of torture previously made by Mr Gao. Mr Gao's wife, Geng He, has said that she hopes her husband's case will be raised during talks this week between US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington. 2005: Authorities close down Gao Zhisheng's law practice Dec 2006: Convicted of subversion and sentenced to house arrest Sept 2007: Says he was tortured during a period of detention Jan 2009: Disappears; last seen accompanied by security officials Mar 2010: Reappears for a month before disappearing again Dec 2011: State media says he has been jailed for three years Jan 2012: Gao revealed to be in Xinjiang prison Aug 2014: Gao freed from jail US hedge fund Elliott Advisors reached a "standstill" agreement after clashing with Akzo over the way the company should be run. The feuding was fuelled by a failed 27bn euro (£23bn) takeover bid for Akzo, which its management rejected. Elliott has agreed to suspend legal action against the Dutch firm and back Akzo's plans to improve the business. Gordon Singer, the boss of Elliott's UK division, said it was pleased to come to an agreement with Akzo. In May, the hedge fund made a legal bid to force the removal of Akzo's chairman, Antony Burgmans, after the firm refused to enter takeover talks with US rival PPG Industries. PPG walked away from its bid in June and Akzo is now pursuing plans to strengthen its business, which include selling its chemicals division. Mr Burgmans said he was "pleased our recent constructive discussions with Elliott improved understanding between both parties". Elliott has also agreed to back new chief executive, Thierry Vanlancker, at a shareholder meeting on 8 September. The hedge fund oversees about $30bn (£23.5bn) of assets and has a reputation as a no-holds-barred activist investor. The firm, founded by billionaire Paul Singer, is notorious for pursuing Argentine debt for more than a decade, seizing one of the country's naval ships while it was docked in Africa. Separately, Elliott has increased its stake in mining firm BHP Billiton as it looks to force the company to sell its US shale business. Elliott took its holding in BHP to 5% in a bid to keep the commodities giant "accountable for delivering results". The match, which finished 5-0 to the visitors at Stair Park, was attended by hundreds of visiting fans. The clubs' links were formed when Stranraer and Rangers fan Jim McKie helped out terminally-ill FC Twente supporter Dennis van Unen. His dying wish was to see an Old Firm game, which they managed to arrange. Mr McKie and his friend James Hilton, 61, a Stranraer and Celtic fan, got hold of tickets for Mr van Unen and when he arrived in Glasgow for the game they took him on tours of Ibrox, Parkhead and Hampden. The fixture this weekend marks a decade since Mr van Unen's death from skin cancer aged 34. Links between the two clubs, some 520 miles apart, have remained strong since with Saturday's game the latest example. Mr McKie admitted he was surprised the Dutch side agreed to take part. He said: "To be honest, when I asked them if they would come I was almost sure they would say: 'No, we can't come.'" "They said: 'Yes, we are coming and we are bringing the full squad - 27 players, all the coaches, everything.'" "Plus we don't know how many fans - it could be anything between 200 and 600 - we don't know." He said he and Mr Hilton had never imagined what helping Mr van Unen could have led to. "It is huge, it is amazing just how it has come by one simple act," he said. "James and me feel very humble about the whole thing - it is difficult at times to talk about." However, he said that the surroundings of Stranraer's ground had come as something of a surprise to their more illustrious opponents. "When they sent one of their team managers across to look at the facilities I could see the shock on her face," said Mr McKie. "Stair Park is old school - but these guys like old school. "They like the fact that it has not been modernised, it is not a 3G pitch - everything has been left as it is." Stranraer chairman Iain Dougan said it was "incredible" to finally have the two teams meet on the pitch. "The boys are really looking forward to it and even though it's a friendly, they're probably one of the biggest opponents we've come up against," he said. "We're expecting the stadium to be packed with supporters from both sides, and businesses in the town will benefit as a result." A memorial tournament is played every year at FC Twente in honour of Mr van Unen and another fan Boris Dijkhuizen, which Stranraer youth teams regularly participate in. Jan van Halst, technical director at the Dutch side, said: "It's fantastic that the Scottish FC Twente supporters have helped to arrange this fixture. "What started with a last wish from supporter Dennis van Unen has now become a close friendship between FC Twente and Stranraer." He said they were looking forward to a "very special friendly match" in Scotland. Media playback is not supported on this device Ford guided the Blue, Black and Whites to last year's Premiership final, but they are currently ninth and just six points above the foot of the table. "This losing run will make us stronger and a better organised team. "We're going to get through this, we're going to fight our way back to form and winning ways," 50-year-old Ford told BBC Points West. "It is not quite clicking at the moment, but we have to get through it." Bath were beaten 15-11 by West Country rivals Gloucester at the Rec last Friday, despite racing into an 8-0 lead. They have won just two of their last 11 games in all competitions and have already lost seven Premiership matches this season - more than in the entire campaign in 2014-15. Ford continues to meet Bath chairman Bruce Craig, who he insists has given him his full backing despite the run of defeats, on a weekly basis. "Bruce (Craig) has been really supportive," Ford added. "We have a long-term plan and we are sticking to that, looking at the bigger picture. "He asks questions and I answer them. We talk a load of things through and we are trying as hard as we can to get through it. Ford is hopeful Bath's fortunes will soon turn, starting with their game at fellow strugglers Worcester Warriors on Saturday. He continued: "I am confident that we will come through this and I trust the players 100% to do that. "We believe in what we are doing, we believe in our vision, believe in the way we coach and play." Ellis, 27, played 17 Super League games in 2016, scoring five tries. He told the club website: "It's going to be a competitive season, but hopefully we should do really well and I'm looking to help Hull KR get back up to where they belong." Meanwhile, Albert Kelly, Mitch Allgood, Kevin Larroyer, Josh Mantellato and John Boudebza have all been released. James Fewell - known as Bruce - was last seen leaving the Plockton Hotel at about 00:30 on Saturday. He lives aboard a boat in the village harbour. Coastguard, RNLI and mountain rescue team members have also been involved in the search for Mr Fewell. He is 6ft 1in tall, slim, with long, dark hair he ties in a pony tail. He was wearing a blue woollen jumper and a pair of yellow boots. The one-day course will take moments from The Simpsons and relate them to philosophical questions around morality, religion and free will. Philosophy tutor Dr John Donaldson said beer-swilling Homer was a "complex character" who was hard not to like. The Simpsons was created by Matt Groening and first aired in 1989. It is the longest-running US sitcom and the longest-running US animated programme. Dr Donaldson said the course - which is called "D'oh! The Simpsons Introduce Philosophy" - was designed for members of the public who had an interest in philosophy. The course is being run on 14 and 21 January - though the earlier date has already sold out, the university said. It takes popular themes from philosophy and applies them to different episodes and characters in the Simpsons. "A boy without mischief is like a bowling ball without a liquid centre." "Marriage is like a coffin and each kid is another nail." "Beer. Now there's a temporary solution." "When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!" "Oh, Marge, cartoons don't have any deep meaning. They're just stupid drawings that give you a cheap laugh." In particular, the course examines Aristotle's classic account of a virtuous character and compares it to Homer. The budding philosophers will then debate arguments for and against whether they consider Homer virtuous. Homer is a very complex character in many ways," Dr Donaldson said. "He's very gluttonous, he can be quite violent and self-interested. But at the same time he's a character that's hard not to like. "He's very popular. He has a childlike joy of life, he's open to doing the right thing and he's a faithful family man." Dr Donaldson, who is a long-term fan of the show, said the cartoon had a rich seam of moments for a philosopher to plunder, with many episodes having a moral and a moment of realisation. "I like the Simpsons because it's a great work of art. It's a cartoon of a great tapestry. There's so much going on in it," he said. "It encourages you to reflect on what's important in life." Westerman scored 29 tries in 128 appearances for the Black and Whites after signing from Castleford in 2010. The 25-year-old made his England debut against Samoa in 2014, but was left out of the squad for the upcoming series against France and New Zealand. "Hopefully next year we can win some silverware and compete at the top of the table," he told the club website. "That's my ambition, it's a good enough club and there's no reason why we shouldn't be contesting for medals. "When I was younger and with England I worked under [Warrington head coach] Tony Smith and I learnt a lot then, so I am looking forward to learning from him again." The S&P 500 index recorded its worst fall in three months, dropping 1.5% to 2,430 points. All of the stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average - which tracks the 30 biggest listed US companies - fell as the index dropped 1.2% to 21,751. The Nasdaq index also stumbled, shedding nearly 2% to 6,222 points. Markets had been rising steadily for weeks, leading analysts to describe stocks as over-valued. Tensions over North Korea unsettled markets earlier this week. On Thursday, the terror attack in Barcelona and speculation that one of President Trump's key economic advisers might resign further unnerved investors. "It is uncertainty on the geopolitical front, on the domestic policy front, and as well it seems as if you have valuations that are stretched," said Chad Morganlander of Washington Crossing Advisors. "So investors are looking for a reason to actually take risk off at this point in time." Walmart was the biggest faller on the Dow Jones, dropping 1.6% after it reported lower profit margins and said it could miss forecasts for the current quarter. Other retail also suffered at the start of trading. L Brands, which owns Victoria's Secret and Henri Bendel, was one of the biggest losers, plunging more than 10% after it said sales for the year would be lower than expected. It later recovered some of those losses to finish down 5%. Macy's and Kohl's also fell more than 2%. But Gap shares climbed nearly 6% in after-hours trade, after the firm told analysts its expecting higher sales for the year than previously forecast. Shares of Cisco, which trades on the Nasdaq, slipped 4%, after the firm said quarterly revenues fell more than 4% year-on-year. Payrolls processor Automatic Data Processing fell 5.8%, as activist investor William Ackman pushed for changes at the firm. BBC Hindi's Ravinder Singh Robin explains why the Sikhs are angry. The spark for the current bout of protests came after a torn-up copy of Sri Guru Granth Sahib - Sikhism's holy book - was found in the village of Bargari, near Kot Kapura in Faridkot district. The alleged desecration of the holy book angered many who came out to protest in Behbal Kalan, a nearby village, last Wednesday. As tempers soared, police opened fire. They say they shot in the air, but two protesters were killed and dozens of others wounded. The killings have further angered Sikh community members who have taken to blocking highways and bridges, demanding action against those who they say desecrated the holy book. The protesters have said they will continue the blockade for three hours every day for another week. No, in the past week there have been at least five reports of copies of the Guru Granth Sahib being desecrated. Torn-up copies of the holy book have been found in different areas of the state - at Jandiala village in Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Tarn Taran near Amritsar, Kot Kapura and Gurusar Jalal village in Bathinda district in the south of the state. Police say they are investigating all the cases and claim to have some leads. Dozens of people have been questioned and at least two people have been arrested in connection with the desecrations. Police said on 19 October that another 52 had been arrested "as a precaution". The protests have disrupted life in large parts of Punjab in the past week. The protesters, numbering in their hundreds, are mostly from unorganised groups although some radical Sikh organisations like the Damdami Taksal and Ajnala faction have also been seen at demonstrations. The protesters are demanding that those they accuse of desecrating the holy book are arrested and compensation be paid to the families of the two men who were killed in police firing. In some places, there have also been spontaneous protests by ordinary Sikhs who say they are fed up of eight-and-a-half years of misrule by the state government - a coalition of the regional Shiromani Akali Dal and India's governing Bharatiya Janata Party. In some districts, farmers - who had protested earlier this month accusing the government of being anti-farmer - have also joined the protests. Although some Sikh lobby groups and protesters have accused "a religious faction" of desecrating their holy book, the authorities say they are not sure who is to blame. Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has said there was a "deep-rooted conspiracy" to target religious places in the state by "some anti-social elements". He has promised that anyone found guilty in "this unpardonable offence would not be spared at any cost and exemplary action would be taken against them so that it acts as a deterrent for others to indulge in such a dastardly act in future". India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh has promised Chief Minister Badal "all possible help" to restore peace in the state. The Akal Takht, the supreme temporal seat of Sikhs, the opposition Congress party and the Sikh clergy have all appealed for peace. With the protests showing no sign of dissipating, many are warning that order must be restored quickly in a state which has a troubled past. Although Punjab has been peaceful for nearly two decades, the state was the scene of a violent insurgency for an independent Sikh homeland in the 1980s and the 1990s. In 1984 Indian security forces killed many Sikh militants after they seized the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the Sikh religion's most important site. In revenge, Indira Gandhi, the then-prime minister, was shot dead by her Sikh bodyguards. 12 July 2016 Last updated at 16:25 BST The 24-year-old won the title, her first Grand Slam tennis trophy, with Finn Henri Kontinen on Sunday having not played together before the event. Heather spoke to Ayshah about her victory, dealing with negative comments on social media and the advice she'd give to girls thinking of playing tennis. In a ceremony at the main British base at Camp Bastion, the union flag was lowered and the camp was handed over to the Afghans who will be left behind to look after their own security in what has been one of the hardest provinces to tame. Bastion was once the largest British military base in the world - a sea of tents, shipping containers and barricades, plonked on the flat, empty, red Helmand desert like the first city on Mars. At its busiest, Bastion housed up to 14,000 troops. Its 2.2-mile (3.5km) runway was like any busy airport - at the height of the fighting it witnessed up to 600 aircraft movements a day. Its perimeter wall was more than 20 miles long. It had its own hospital and water bottling plant, as well as shops, canteens and gyms. It was a military metropolis from which the British, and later the US Marine corps and Afghans too, directed the fight in Helmand - the hub from which UK forces re-supplied more than 100 smaller bases at the height of the war. Those have now all gone, and the British presence in Bastion has been almost completely erased. Even Bastion's memorial wall, which bears the name of each of the 453 British military personnel killed in the conflict, has been removed. It will be rebuilt at the National Arboretum in Staffordshire - not just closer to home, but more secure. Helmand is still one of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan. So what might the British leave behind in Afghanistan after a presence of 13 years? What do they have to show for a war that has cost more than £20bn and hundreds of precious lives? The British military believe they will be leaving Helmand in better shape than when they arrived. Across the country, 6.7 million children now attend school, nearly half of them girls. That would have been unthinkable under the Taliban rule. Healthcare has improved; life expectancy is longer. But corruption is still rife and violence, though suppressed, still threatens to tear the country apart. Measuring success is perhaps hardest for those who lost loved ones here. Robert Foster died in Helmand in 2007. The 19-year-old private was killed when an American warplane mistakenly dropped a bomb on his position. His father John says: "Seven years on, I still struggle with the fact that my son and his mates were killed in a conflict that should never have happened." He describes himself as being proud of what Robbie did: "I try to hold in my heart that my son and his mates thought they were doing the right thing," he says. He also accepts that the country is now more stable, but he wonders for how long. The Taliban have already moved back into some of the areas once occupied by the British. John asks: "Was it worth all the hurt caused to so many?" As this long war draws to a close, it's the question that hangs in the air: "Was it worth it?" Many in the military believe it is too soon to tell; they are more reluctant to rush to judgement, when they witnessed comrades die and suffer life-changing injuries. It's harder still for those who ordered men into battle. Andrew Mackay was the commander of British forces in Helmand in 2007. After reaching the heights of major general, he resigned his commission - in part out of frustration over the way the war in Afghanistan was conducted. Looking back, he now says: "We should have done so much better." There was confusion from the start about the mission. Was it nation building, counter-insurgency or counter-terrorism? As for counter-narcotics, he says: "It's a nonsense to suggest we were there to stop heroin getting to the streets of London." Today poppy production in Afghanistan is at record levels. The failure to explain must ultimately lie with the politicians in charge. But there were failings by the military too. In the early days there was a switch in tactics every six months as a new brigade commander arrived with a fresh batch of soldiers, often eager to prove themselves in battle. In the early days commanders did complain about not having enough men and the right equipment, but that did not seem to affect their desire to "get the job done". Mr Mackay says: "We muddled through for far too long". Pacifying Helmand was always going to be tough. The largest province in the country, it was remote, rural and lawless. It had long been a Taliban stronghold and centre of the drugs trade. Added to that, the British empire had history in Helmand. The locals still remembered their victory at nearby Maiwand in 1880 during the second Anglo-Afghan war. The returning British may have forgotten, but the Pashtuns of the south had not. Nor did the British really know what they were getting themselves into when they re-entered Helmand in 2006. Dr Mike Martin, an academic and former army reservist, describes how they were "manipulated" by local tribes to settle old scores with rivals. He was one of the handful of officers who served in Helmand who was able to speak fluent Pashto. Source: BBC/MoD Inside Camp Bastion He argues the British took far too long to understand the people they were trying to win over and "were trying to turn the war into something it was not". Many still hold out hope for Afghanistan's future. It has just witnessed relatively peaceful elections and a transition of power. But there are also those who conclude the war was a mistake. Richard Streatfeild served as a major in the Rifles in Sangin where the British suffered some of their heaviest losses. He arrived as a believer in the mission, but left with many doubts. In his book Honourable Warriors, he concludes: "Any reading of the culture, the history or politics should have prevented us from taking on Helmand." As the British now prepare to leave for good, he says: "It may be dressed up as victory, but it will be the paint on the grave." Whatever legacy Britain leaves behind in Helmand, Afghanistan already appears to have had an impact on British foreign policy and any future military intervention. Mr Mackay asks the question: "Has it dented our confidence so much that we can not longer put boots on the ground?" Looking at the responses to the crises in Syria and Iraq, his answer is "yes". Maj Gen Andrew Mackay's Afghanistan: The Lessons of War will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 20:00 GMT on Tuesday 25 November Martin Shkreli, the head of Turing Pharmaceuticals, told US media he would drop the price following the outcry, but did not say by how much. Turing Pharmaceuticals acquired the rights to Daraprim in August. It then raised the cost of the drug, which treats a parasitic infection, from $13.50 (£8.70) to $750. Amid criticism from medical groups - one called the cost "unjustifiable" - Mr Shkreli on Monday defended the increase, saying the profits would help research new treatments. He accused critics of not understanding the pharmaceutical industry. But he has now told ABC News: "We've agreed to lower the price on Daraprim to a point that is more affordable and is able to allow the company to make a profit, but a very small profit." Earlier in the day, PhRMA, the pharmaceutical industry's main lobbying group, tweeted that Turing "does not represent the values of PhRMA member companies". Agreeing a price for any drug is a tricky business. In the UK, the National Health Service is the main buyer and prices are set through a voluntary scheme between manufacturers and the government, trying to strike the right balance of serving patients and generating money to keep the drug pipeline going. Profits are capped to stop prices creeping too high. In the US, the buyers are private insurance companies as well as the government through the Medicare and Medicaid system. It's a market and prices can go up and down, depending on what people are willing to pay. In recent years, pharmaceutical research and development has slowed and companies have to think carefully about what they invest in. Blockbusters such as Viagra pull in money, but orphan drugs for rare diseases can be less attractive. Not many patients use them, and so turning a profit may be difficult. What's a fair price for a drug? Read more Agent Tony McGill, from Sunderland, claimed he was cut out of a 2007 £1m deal which saw Gavin McCann move from Aston Villa to Bolton Wanderers. No evidence was offered against Bolton, its chairman Phil Gartside, Mr Lee, Mr McCann and several others. As a technicality, "not guilty" pleas were entered at Newcastle Crown Court. The agent started a private prosecution against the parties following a legal battle over his claims he was cut out of McCann's transfer. The Crown Prosecution Service later took over the case. At the hearing, Judge Tim Gittins told the defendants: "That brings the matter to an end." The issue of costs for all sides has yet to be decided. Those cleared are: The quarterly rate of growth was 1.2%, the slowest since December 2014. The pace of growth is still many times above general inflation, but one senior economist has warned of a "serious risk of an extended and marked downturn" following the Brexit vote. The figures from the Halifax cover the period before the referendum result. The annual rate is down from 9.2% in May. "House prices continue to increase, albeit at a slower rate, but this precedes the EU referendum result, therefore it is far too early to determine any impact since," said Martin Ellis, Halifax's housing economist. Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said there was likely to be a major impact on house prices in the months ahead: "Despite the Halifax reporting a marked rise in house prices in June itself, we believe that the prospects for the housing market have deteriorated markedly following the Brexit vote. "Housing market activity and prices now look to be at very serious risk of an extended, marked downturn following the UK's vote to leave the EU." In the meantime the Halifax said the average price of a house has risen to another record high, at £216,823. An analysis by a firm of estate agents suggests that few buyers have backed out of house purchases since the referendum result. Jackson-Stops and Staff looked at 750,000 properties for sale in the UK on Friday 24 June. It found that 41% of homes on the market were already under offer. A similar analysis on 6 July found that 39.9% were under offer - virtually the same proportion. In addition, the number of properties for sale has increased by 21,000 since 24 June. Where can I afford to live? Torfaen MP Nick Thomas-Symonds has been named shadow solicitor-general while Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan is appointed shadow arts minister. Both said it was time to hold the UK government to account. Last week, Nia Griffith returned to the front bench as shadow defence secretary while Jo Stevens was named shadow Welsh secretary. Mr Corbyn had been forced to replace most of his front bench team following mass resignations and a vote of no confidence in his leadership by MPs. But some of Mr Corbyn's critics have returned to the shadow cabinet since he was re-elected leader in September, defeating a challenge from Pontypridd MP Owen Smith. Llanelli MP Ms Griffith had been shadow Welsh secretary, while Mr Thomas-Symonds and Mr Brennan were junior spokesmen on employment and business respectively. Mr Thomas-Symonds said on Twitter he would be "exposing the Tories' failure on access to justice", condemning the party for an "appalling" record on legal aid cuts and tribunal fees. Mr Brennan, also on Twitter, said he was "Pleased to join Labour DCMS team as shadow minister for arts and Heritage and deputy to shadow secretary of state - time to hold (government) to account". Mr Smith, who quit as shadow work and pensions secretary before mounting his leadership challenge, has called for party unity but has said he would not return to the front bench. Newport West MP Paul Flynn has returned to the backbenches having served as both shadow leader of the Commons and shadow Welsh secretary over the summer. Writing on his blog, he said it had been a "worthwhile and thoroughly enjoyable" experience. Meanwhile Swansea East MP Carolyn Harris has kept her post as a junior Home Office spokesperson. Joshua Bradley, 19, was fatally injured in Thurland Street, Nottingham, at 04:00 GMT on 8 February. The two men are due before magistrates' later. Three others were also been charged on Wednesday with assisting an offender. A total of nine people have now been charged in connection with Mr Bradley's death. Richard Johnson, 24, of Belton Street, Hyson Green, was charged with murder in February. Zaiem Zulqurnain, 19, of Newlyn Drive in Aspley, Nottingham and Muhamad Adnan, 22, of Middleton Boulevard, Nottingham are also accused of murder. Last month, three men were also charged with violent disorder in connection with the brawl. Three others, Zobain Zulqurnain, 29, and Farra Zulqurnain 27, both of Newlyn Drive, Aspley, Nottingham and Seerat Zulqurnain 28, of Princess Close in Gedling, Nottingham have been charged with assisting an offender. It is alleged they helped their relative, Zaiem Zulqurnain, leave the country following the incident. Two other men, aged 19 and 21, questioned on suspicion of murder have been released without charge. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the "radical" move would ensure every penny of the health budget was spent wisely. A "procurement tsar" will produce the list - made up of prices negotiated and set between the NHS and suppliers. But Labour said the government's overhaul of the NHS had wasted millions and these plans would not change that. The new central procurement list will mean that hundreds of everyday hospital supplies will be bought in bulk to help harness the "buying power" of the health service. The government has committed to making savings of £1.5bn to £2bn on procurement by the end of 2015/16. The Department of Health said it expects this NHS core list to make up £500m - roughly a third - of these overall savings. Hospitals currently negotiate prices for supplies individually and as a result cannot always secure the best prices for products, it said. It claimed the new core procurement list would "drive out variation and secure better prices with our suppliers". The NHS will centrally negotiate with suppliers, using its scale to "drive a harder bargain" and trusts will then shop for what they need from the list. The health secretary told BBC 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics show that improving procurement could significantly cut spending. He used spending on sterile surgical gloves as an example, saying hospitals could save up to 38% on the price they paid for the product if they switched from the market leader to an alternative supplier. "The reason that we're being even more radical in what we're announcing today is because there is concern within the ageing population as to whether the NHS is going to be financially viable going forward," Mr Hunt said. "And before we go back to the British people with any request for extra money from taxes or any other sources of finance, I think we have to be confident that we are spending every penny of the £100bn NHS budget wisely." He also insisted that the reorganisation of the NHS since the coalition took office was achieving savings of £1bn every year. He said while the process of shaking up the health service may not have been perfect, the principle behind the reforms had been right. "We removed 20,000 administrative jobs in the old primary care trusts and strategic health authorities, and we're using that to pay for 7,500 more doctors," the health secretary said. "So we've been taking lots of measures right from the start of the Parliament in order to get more money out of the frontline." But shadow health minister Jamie Reed said Prime Minister David Cameron's £3bn reorganisation had fragmented the NHS and it had "lost the power to bulk-buy". "As a result, hospitals are wasting millions that should be spent on patient care," Mr Reed said. "These plans will not reverse that." The hosts had led at half-time through Joe Greenwood, Matty Dawson and Jordan Turner tries, but failed to score after the break and the visitors capitalised. Danny Houghton and Curtis Naughton crossed for Hull before the break and they levelled through Kirk Yeaman after 58 minutes. And Sneyd's 40-metre kick inflicted a second straight home defeat on Saints. St Helens's Theo Fages had missed a drop-goal attempt moments before Sneyd's dramatic winner at the other end. The hosts, who were without injured winger Tommy Makinson following a potentially season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury, now lie sixth in the table. Defeat leaves them two points behind Hull, who are themselves now four points off top spot, in fourth. St Helens: McDonnell; Owens, Peyroux, Turner, Dawson; Fages, Walsh; Walmsley, Roby, Savelio, Greenwood, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Wilkin. Replacements: Burns, Amor, Richards, Thompson. Hull FC: Shaul; Michaels, Fonua, Yeaman, Naughton; Tuimavave, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Watts, Minichiello, Manu, Ellis. Replacements: Thompson, Hadley, Bowden, Pritchard. Referee: James Child (RFL) The figure and the words "funded by the UK taxpayer" will be added to all packs costing more than £20 in England. It is part of efforts to reduce the £300m bill for "wasted" medication, which is prescribed but not used. The health secretary said there was no such thing as a free health service and this would reduce waste by reminding people of the cost of medicine. Jeremy Hunt added: "Everything we are proud of in the NHS is funded by taxpayers, and every penny we waste costs patients more through higher taxes or reduced services." Neal Patel, from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, said: "We know that around 30 to 50% of patients don't use their medicines as intended and there is around £150 million of avoidable medicines waste. "Although knowledge of the cost of medicines may play a part its equally important we focus on factors such as peoples understanding of the side effects and benefits from medicines, which will also influence whether a condition is treated effectively or the medicine ends up in the bin." NHS Confederation chief executive Rob Webster said: "It is important for the public to be better informed about how money is spent in the NHS. "We will be interested in seeing more detail about how the labelling policy will be implemented."

"Nothing more, nothing less," Mr Rasmussen added. Libyan rebels have been advancing westwards, capturing towns abandoned by Col Muammar Gaddafi's forces. Explosions were also heard in Sirte and the capital, Tripoli, on Sunday night. It is not clear what the causes of the blasts were, though state TV said the cities were being bombed by "Crusader and colonialist" forces. A government spokesman also said the town of Sabha had been targeted. Sirte, the Libyan leader's stronghold, is only 100km (60 miles) west of the town of Nufaila, which rebel forces said they had reached. Foreign journalists said the city was swarming with soldiers on patrol. The rebels earlier retook the eastern coastal towns of Ras Lanuf, Brega, Uqayla and Bin Jawad, only a day after seizing control of Ajdabiya. Nato's plan to take responsibility for operations in Libya had already been agreed by military representatives of the 28 member states, but it needed ambassadors to provide political approval at a meeting in Brussels. In a communique hailing the "very significant step", Mr Rasmussen said that in the past week the alliance had "put together a complete package of operations in support of the United Nations resolution by sea and by air". "We are already enforcing the arms embargo and the no-fly zone, and with today's decision we are going beyond. We will be acting in close co-ordination with our international and regional partners to protect the people of Libya." Mr Rasmussen said Nato's goal was to "protect civilians and civilian-populated areas under threat of attack from the Gaddafi regime". "Nato will implement all aspects of the UN Resolution. Nothing more, nothing less," he added. Nato's top operational commander, Gen Charles Bouchard of Canada, would "begin executing this operation with immediate effect", he concluded. The BBC's Chris Morris in Brussels says the mission to protect civilians was more sensitive because it involved debate about what exactly are legitimate military targets on the ground. There were disagreements notably between France and Turkey about political control of the mission, but they have now been resolved, our correspondent says. But the precise rules of engagement have not been revealed, he adds. Alongside the Nato command structure will be a separate, high-level committee of representatives of all countries taking part in the military action, including Arab states. It will give what one official called "broad political guidance." While Nato ambassadors discussed the international military operation, rebel forces in eastern Libya took advantage of the devastating effect of the air and missile strikes on Col Gaddafi's forces to advance westwards. "Gaddafi's forces are now scared rats," Mohammed Ali al-Atwish, a rebel fighter in Bin Jawad, told the AFP news agency. By Ian Pannell,BBC News, Benghazi In the last 24 hours, the rebels have pushed hundreds of kilometres to the west. The next big city in their path is Sirte. It is Col Gaddafi's hometown and one of the very few places untouched by the spirit of rebellion. So here is the dilemma: if the rebels do manage to get that far and the people of Sirte do not rise up, either because they are loyal to Gaddafi or too afraid to act, what do the allies do? If civilians are not being threatened, they arguably have no mandate for action and that would stall the rebels advance and leave them exposed and vulnerable to attack and that could mean an open-ended engagement for the coalition. If the coalition launches attacks anyway to weaken Col Gaddafi's forces, that will convince many that this really is about regime-change and that could create splits within the alliance. The rebel advance may be quietly cheered in London, Paris and Washington, but it also potentially brings a host of problems for the coalition. "They are dropping their weapons and uniforms and dressing as civilians. We are no longer concerned about Gaddafi's forces at all." The BBC's Ben Brown in Ras Lanuf says the rebels are in a state of high excitement, and can hardly believe the progress they have made. They claim that they could be in Sirte by Monday, but the further they advance towards Tripoli, the greater the fight the regime is likely to put up, our correspondent says. In interviews with US media on Sunday morning, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates that Col Gaddafi's "ability to move armour, to move toward Benghazi or a place like that, has pretty well been eliminated". "Now we'll have to keep our eye on it, because he still has ground forces at his beck and call. But the reality is that they are under a lot of pressure." Mr Gates also said there was a political push to ease the Libyan leader from power, and that it was possible that more of his associates would defect. "We have things in our tool box in addition to hammers... one should not underestimate the possibility of the regime itself cracking." Libyan officials say the strikes have killed nearly 100 civilians but this cannot be independently confirmed. Late on Sunday, government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said three young Libyan men had been killed in an air strike on a fishing harbour near Sirte. There was "nothing military or quasi-military" there, he said. Mr Ibrahim also told reporters that a "peace convoy", which had been heading from Sirte towards Ajdabiya and Benghazi, was attacked by rebels near Bin Jawad. About 29 people were injured in the "very cowardly act, witnessed by thousands of people," he said. Finally, he said a woman who stormed into a hotel in Tripoli on Saturday to tell journalists that government troops had raped her, Iman al-Obaidi, was now with her family. Four men, including the son of a high-ranking police officer, had been questioned about her allegations, he added. Meanwhile, Col Gaddafi's troops have continued their bombardment of Misrata, the only significant rebel-held city left in the west. On Sunday evening, a resident told the BBC that eight people had been killed and 26 wounded - five of them critically - as Col Gaddafi's forces advanced on the al-Jazeera residential area in the west of the city. "They used mortars and heavy anti-aircraft guns," he said. "The injuries are mainly from the explosions, I am talking about severed limbs and big injuries in the trunk area. There are also crush injuries due to the collapse of buildings." A rebel spokesman told the BBC that fighting was continuing for control of the main road through the city. Libyan state TV earlier said Misrata was "secure" and life was "going back to normal". Security forces had arrested "terrorist gangs", it said. Meanwhile, the Benghazi-based Transitional National Council said the rebels could begin exporting oil in less than a week. Spokesman Ali Tarhouni said oil fields in territory under opposition control were already producing more than 100,000 barrels of crude a day. He said the Gulf state of Qatar had agreed to help bring it to market. Barry Lynn, from Newcastle, absconded from Hatfield Prison near Doncaster on Wednesday. The 41-year-old handed himself in on Sunday, Northumbria Police said. He is under arrest and being questioned. Officers are still appealing for information on the whereabouts of Michael Forster, who is 41 and from Gateshead. Hesitant to run at first, he eventually gained support of the majority of Republicans in Congress to succeed John Boehner of Ohio for the job. The 45-year-old Mr Ryan was Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's running mate in the 2012 election. He has helped determine budget and tax policy in Congress and said he only wanted the job to unify Republicans. In his new position, he will be second in line to the presidency only behind the vice-president. Among other responsibilities, the speaker acts as presiding officer over the lower chamber of Congress for administrative and business matters. Paul Ryan gives the Republican-controlled Congress the kind of compelling, charismatic leader it has sorely lacked since Newt Gingrich first rocketed to prominence more than two decades ago. The irony, however, is that Ryan's rise as the face of his party has occurred only a handful of months before he will be wholly eclipsed by whoever the Republicans choose as their standard-bearer in the 2016 presidential election. While he may promise to lead a Congress that respects differences of opinion and works together to solve the nation's problems, the reality is that the chance to set the tone of the political debate has even now all but moved away from Washington, DC. It instead rests on the campaign hustings, in places like New Hampshire and Iowa, where numerous candidates have made their names railing against their party's leadership. A change of course at this point is unlikely in the extreme. If an insurgent presidential hopeful like Ted Cruz, Donald Trump or Ben Carson becomes their party's nominee, any hopes Mr Ryan may have of cooling the fever in Congress will surely be dashed. Who is Paul Ryan? Mr Ryan received roaring applause in the House chambers upon his election. He thanked Mr Boehner for his work over the years and called him a "man of character". Democrats and Republicans must pray for one another, he said. He called for a "return to order" in the House, speaking frankly about the discord that has been plaguing House Republicans. "We're not solving problems, we're adding to them," he said. "We're not settling scores, we're wiping the slate clean." "It's not a matter of process, it's a matter of principle. Only a fully functioning House can truly represent the people." Taking over at Tynecastle is the end of a long journey that began with coaching secondary school pupils in Dundee and took in two stops on the continent. He never played football at any significant level, but was drawn to coaching at an early age. By 23, he was coaching youth players at Tannadice, after Craig Levein was impressed with his work in developing the likes of Ryan Gauld and the Souttar brothers - John and Harry. Cathro spent four years at United, and also worked for the Scottish Football Association's regional coaching set-up, before a chance encounter moved his career onto a different path. He met Nuno Espirito Santo while they were earning their coaching qualifications with the SFA at Largs, and Santo was impressed with the young Scot's work. When Santo was appointed manager of Rio Ave, he asked Cathro to become assistant manager. Cathro spent two years coaching in Portugal before Santo was offered the manager's job at Valencia in 2014, and a year in La Liga followed before a return to the UK suited for personal and professional reasons. Cathro has since been at Newcastle, as assistant to Steve McClaren then to Rafa Benitez, who was impressed enough with his work to ask him to stay on. Although Cathro never played at a high level, he believes his coaching work with international players in Portugal, Spain and England has brought some of the experience he missed out on directly. There has been a scepticism towards Cathro, particularly in Scotland. His career path is unconventional, and he has a deep well of self-belief. There is also, though, an inquisitive mind and an eagerness to learn and fill in the blanks of his knowledge and experience. Cathro is intense, and wholly committed to his work - even visits of family and friends to Portugal and Spain were not allowed to impinge too much on his working life. He carefully measures every word, but that is so they deliver an impact. There is a warmth and humour, too, beneath the work personality. He won't lead by presence, but by the worth of his work with players, and many of the youngsters he first coached in Dundee still keep in regular contact by text. The scepticism has led to accusations of Cathro being aloof or introspective. He is, though, merely guarded and has little appetite for a high profile. During his youth coaching days, Cathro emphasised vision and technique. He wanted his players to be able to play the game expansively and creatively, but also with a fully rounded skill set. The style of play he encountered in Portugal and Spain will not directly translate to Britain, but he will look to circulate possession, moving the ball from side to side to shift opposition defences out of alignment and attack the open spaces. He is a contemporary coach, capable of the analytical breakdown of opposition sides but also, crucially, how to devise and coach a game plan to take advantage. His ideal is to create a vibrant, attacking side that supporters are enthused by. The reality can be different, though, and the challenge for Cathro is to implement his ideals, but not be bound by them. Theory and reality do not always merge smoothly. Coaching and management require different skills. He believes he is ready to make the move from one to the other, and now he has to prove it. Wales captain Sam Warburton and coach Danny Wilson believe Morgan will be ideally suited to playing there. Morgan, 24, has joined from English Premiership side Bristol hoping to boost his Wales career. "I think that it [the artificial pitch] was quite a big factor in signing Matthew," Warburton told BBC Radio Wales Sport. "The fact that he has got some of the best feet in international rugby to be honest - I don't think there are many guys better than that - and I think he will bring that on the surface we play on. "We scored quite a few tries last year, there weren't many teams who scored more tries than us, but he will add to that again and will definitely improve our attack." The diminutive fly-half left Welsh rugby in 2014 when he departed Ospreys, but is keen to add to his five Wales caps. Legendary wing Shane Williams has repeatedly called for Matthews to earn a recall to Warren Gatland's side, having last played for Wales in their 2015 World Cup victory over Fiji. Blues head coach Wilson said: "He's got an X-factor and I think that X-factor suits the surface we play on. "It's a hard track and a fast track we have here at the Arms Park and it will be very suited to Matthew and his skill-set. Media playback is not supported on this device "Hopefully he's going to be the danger that we are all hoping." Warburton, back with the region after Wales' summer tour to New Zealand is also excited to play alongside Kiwi centre Willis Halaholo. The 25-year old has signed from Super Rugby side Hurricanes on a three-year deal. "It is great for us Willis has chosen to play in Cardiff," Warburton added. "He has been playing extremely well in the Super 15, he has quite a few tries and has been very effective for his club." Meera Dalal died aged 25 at her home in Leicestershire on 15 February 2016. Daksha Dalal, Meera's mother, wants police to disclose any evidence they hold so her family can consider a private prosecution. The BBC asked Miss Dalal's ex-boyfriend for a response through his solicitors but they declined to comment. Police said a 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assisting suicide on the day Miss Dalal died but was released with no further action. "I seriously felt as if I would get some justice from the police but I didn't," said Mrs Dalal. "A loss of a child is an intense grief that you will never, ever be able to overcome. "If I could help one girl, one child or somebody's daughter, that would make me happy." A report from Miss Dalal's GP was read out as evidence at the inquest into her death. Assistant coroner Carolyn Hull said: "She was seen by one of the doctors and told the doctor she had recently ended her three-year relationship, during which she suffered emotional and physical abuse." The GP report said she was given treatment in hospital on one occasion, "having been the subject of domestic violence". Mrs Dalal is trying to obtain copies of her daughter's medical records, along with other evidence held by police. Daksha Dalal has written to Leicestershire Police asking for evidence and information, including the following: Ms Hull, who led the documentary inquest into Miss Dalal's death, concluded that she died as a result of suicide. Miss Dalal's former partner had been reported to police several times during and after their relationship. Following Miss Dalal's suicide, her mother asked the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) to investigate. The 50-page investigation report, seen by the BBC, contains a catalogue of police incidents involving Miss Dalal and her boyfriend dating back to December 2013. The IPCC investigated the conduct of four particular police officers, but the investigator found there was no case to answer for misconduct. Leicestershire Police said: "Following a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Meera Dalal who died on 15 February 2016, police found no evidence to warrant a prosecution being brought by the CPS. "As a result of her death, and previous contact between Leicestershire Police and Meera, an inquiry was conducted by the IPCC, which concluded there was insufficient evidence to consider misconduct proceedings and there was no case to answer for the officers involved." The IPCC said: "On the basis of the evidence available, and at the conclusion of the investigation, the investigator formed the opinion that there was insufficient evidence upon which a reasonable misconduct meeting could find that any of the officers had breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour, Duties and Responsibilities." Miss Dalal killed herself at her family home in Syston, so her family moved to a different area of Leicestershire after her death. Mrs Dalal has been raising awareness of domestic abuse since her daughter's death through a Facebook page in her memory, and says many victims have contacted her. "I got a message saying 'thank you for raising awareness, I got away from him'," said Mrs Dalal. One woman left her husband and stayed with Miss Dalal's parents for two months while she found somewhere else to live. "If it's one person that I can help, that's good," said Mrs Dalal.

Anti-poverty campaigner Paul Nicolson deliberately refused to pay his tax to Haringey Council as he suspected the costs, checked by magistrates, were inaccurate. A High Court judge said magistrates had not had "relevant information" before them when making a costs order. Mrs Justice Andrews said the case was of "significant public interest". The 82-year-old retired vicar described the ruling as "game, set and match to the poor". He said he bought the case because a £125 costs bill was a "very big penalty" in addition to the "inevitable council tax arrears" generated by thousands of benefits claimants in Haringey. The case had implications across the UK, as about three million liability orders were granted by magistrates every year to councils in England and Wales, he added. Judge Andrews said Mr Nicolson suspected the costs were being used as a form of penalty or deterrent, or as a means of covering the council's general administrative costs of collecting council tax. The new pairing won Sunday's final of the lightweight men's double sculls, leading from start to finish. Ireland's Rio Olympic silver medallists Paul and Gary O'Donovan were fourth. There were also bronze medals for Enniskillen's Holly Nixon in the women's quadruple sculls and Joel Cassells in the lightweight men's pair. Chambers and Fletcher held off a late surge from Czech Republic and Poland, with the O'Donovan brothers struggling home out of the medal positions in Serbia. With the double sculls the only lightweight category remaining on the Olympic programme for Tokyo 2020 this was the first opportunity for Chambers and Fletcher to lay down a marker for the rest of the season and beyond. Having come through their heat and semi-final comfortably, they set an impressive pace in the final from the start and by the halfway mark they had built up a lead of a length. Fletcher had sculled with Peter's older brother Richard during the last Olympic cycle and eventually finished seventh in Rio while the younger Chambers sibling was a member of the lightweight four that also finished seventh. There were only three entrants in the women's quadruple sculls and Poland, with two under-23 world champions in the their quartet and Netherlands with two Olympic silver medallists among their crew, were too strong for a Great Britain boat that included Nixon. In the lightweight men's pair Cassells and partner Sam Scrimgeour, the current European champions, led after the first 500m but were overhauled by Ireland's Shane O'Driscoll and Mark O'Donovan by the halfway mark and by the Russian pair in the final stages of the race. The GB pair ultimately had to settle for third place with the Irish duo going on to take gold. All three Northern Ireland rowers are expected to be named next week in the Great Britain squad for the European Championships in Racice, Czech Republic that take place from 26-28 May.

GB claimed eight medals in Azerbaijan, one more than in Manchester in 2012, once Aaron Cook's gold - in Isle of Man colours - is included. Richards and Alexey Denisenko were 5-5 after their -68kg semi-final, but the referee sent the Russian through. Deer (-74kg) lost 7-4 to another Russian, Albert Gaun. Bianca Walkden, 22, won her first European title with victory in the +73kg category on Friday, while Lutalo Muhammad and Asia Bailey secured bronze medals in the -87kg and -46kg categories respectively. The athletes and staff have worked hard since then to turn things around and to get so many medals - our best ever performance - is amazing On Saturday Olympic champion Jade Jones came second in the -57kg division, while Damon Samsun lost out to Cook in the -80kg final. Bronze for Richards on the final day of competition was the fighter's first major international honour. "Now it's sunk in a little I can't be disappointed with a medal, but being so close is frustrating," he said. Deer, who impressively defeated third-seed Raul Martinez Garcia 22-14 in the quarter-finals, added: "Gaun is a great performer and it was always going to be tough, but I'm pleased with my performances throughout the day. GB Taekwondo performance director Gary Hall was delighted with the achievements of his team, which came less than 12 months on from a disastrous World Championships at which no British fighters won medals. "It's good to see the team bounce back from the Worlds last year," Hall told BBC Sport. "The athletes and staff have worked hard since then to turn things around and to get so many medals - our best ever performance - is amazing." The next major event for the British team will be the first World Taekwondo Grand Prix event of the year, which takes place from 4-6 July in Suzhou, China.

Third-place finishes for Ruebyn Richards and Andrew Deer gave British fighters their best ever medal haul at a European Taekwondo Championships.

Poppi Worthington died in 2012 with a family court judge finding she had been sexually assaulted by her father Paul, who denies any wrongdoing. Cumbria Police allowed evidence to be thrown away, failed to properly investigate abuse claims and sent incorrect information to the coroner. The force said it had "let Poppi down". Key dates in the Poppi Worthington case The 92-page IPCC report is particularly critical of the two lead officers in the case, both of whom have since retired. The IPCC said Det Insp Amanda Sadler, who initially led the investigation, and Det Supt Mike Forrester who took over, had cases to answer for gross misconduct. Det Supt Forrester retired before any action could be taken. Det Insp Sadler was demoted and then left the force. They are criticised for their failure to preserve evidence and failing to properly ascertain Poppi's cause of death from two pathologists who gave conflicting reports. One pathologist said Poppi's injuries provided evidence she had been abused. But police disregarded her report saying she may have "jumped to conclusions" because Det Insp Sadler had told her abuse might be an issue before the post-mortem examination took place. A second pathologist said Poppi's injuries had natural causes. The IPCC criticised Det Insp Sadler for failing to clarify the cause of the death. Mr Worthington, who had been the last person looking after Poppi, was arrested eight months after her death but no charges were brought. Irwin Mitchell solicitors, speaking on behalf of Poppi's mother who cannot be named for legal reasons, said the child's mother was "understandably deeply concerned by the findings of the IPCC". "She has anxiously awaited answers as to what happened to Poppi on that fateful day," the company said. "To learn that the actions of senior investigators within Cumbria Constabulary may have contributed to the agonising delays she has endured has left her deeply and profoundly disappointed and distressed." Cumbria Police's chief constable Jerry Graham said he "unreservedly" accepts the criticisms and is "absolutely clear the investigation fell well short of the expected standard". He said: "I profoundly regret that we let Poppi and her family down and I offer a heartfelt apology for this." A second inquest into Poppi's death is due to resume before the end of June. Her first inquest ended after seven minutes with the cause of death being "unascertained". Photographers have scaled towering eucalyptus trees in Tasmania for a spectacular art project. Rangers took an early lead from the penalty spot, Henderson converting after Steven Notman had been felled.

And how are they setting about making a bold declaration become a reality? BBC Sport travelled the country to meet them. Sven-Goran Eriksson After managing the likes of England, Manchester City and Roma, Sven-Goran Eriksson moved to China in 2013 to coach Chinese Super League (CSL) side Guangzhou R&F. He joined Shanghai SIPG a year later. Sitting down in a central Shanghai hotel the night before a CSL match against his old club, he reflects on how the sport has radically grown during his time in the country. "Three years ago it was not like this. The football was OK. But this season it's gone crazy, totally crazy," he says. "One of the reasons for that is the government. The president of the country is pushing for football. Media playback is not supported on this device "So I guess he's very happy to see the league is getting better and better but he wants China, as a national team, to be big, to be better in football." Eriksson is enjoying living and working on football's new frontier. He's also excited by the steady flow of big-name players heading eastwards. Five of the top six global transfers so far this year have involved Chinese sides and the Swede believes more "huge" names will follow their lead in the months ahead. "Even bigger names will come. I think that and the rumours say that," he adds. But can leading footballers, used to living in Europe, be attracted to China solely by the vast financial rewards on offer? Eriksson believes the standard of Chinese football is getting better, with players drawn to play in the CSL for sporting reasons too. "It's absolutely the right time to be in China for football," he says. "I think everybody is happy today who works with football in China. "Three, four or five years ago the big foreign names were not really interested in China - only when they were getting older, on the way down. But now? Even when they are at their peak they are interested in China. "It's an exciting place to be and football is getting bigger and bigger every day." Media playback is not supported on this device Romain Woo The boom in Chinese football is part of a wider aim to develop a thriving sports industry. In downtown Shanghai, the city's upwardly mobile residents are busy shopping at designer boutiques and meeting friends at the artisan coffee shops that populate the area. Nestled in an office above one such establishment is China's leading football agent, Romain Woo. With his designer suit, sharp haircut and minimalist office furniture he represents many aspects of modern China: confident, outward facing and ambitious. After a stint working in Europe with the Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, he now represents 50 of China's leading footballers and coaches through his company Van Hao Sports. And he is convinced the boom in transfer spending by China's top clubs has only just started. "It's going crazy right now, it's really going crazy. We have a saying that the only two players who are not coming to China right now are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi," he says. "The other names? It's all highly possible. I know most of the big agents in Europe and they are all trying to push their clients to China right now if they're not having a good time in Europe." During the January window China's transfer record was broken three times in 10 days. It culminated in Liverpool being beaten to the signature of Alex Teixeira when he moved from Shakhtar Dontesk to CSL side Jiangsu Suning for a fee of £38.4m. It is not one-way traffic, though, and Chinese players are in demand in Europe. But with the country set on rising to the top of the world game - and with many clubs backed by huge corporations keen to help the government deliver its aims - opportunities for the best domestic players to go abroad are being blocked. "Three of my players got chances to go to FC Copenhagen, to Real Madrid and Chelsea in the past three transfer windows," he says. "The problem is that they are way too important to their clubs here and they don't care about how big the transfer fee is. "Maybe when the contract has expired or at another stage of Chinese football they can go. But now it's a different stage of Chinese football and we want to keep all our best players in the league, together with the foreigners." Cameron Wilson Foreign players are helping to drive interest in football and across China the game is a new fascination. In Nanjing, two hours by high-speed train from Shanghai, sits the home of Jiangsu Suning FC. They are the biggest-spending club in China this year and their fans are anticipating future success as a result. The atmosphere in their stadium on the night of a CSL match against rivals Shanghai Shenhua is intense. More than 50,000 supporters are in full voice, with many waving giant flags or shouting into megaphones. Collectively they form a kaleidoscope of Jiangsu's blue and white colours and the noise doesn't stop for the entire 90 minutes. Watching on is Cameron Wilson. Originally from Dunfermline in Scotland, he moved to China more than a decade ago and has settled in Shanghai with his family. As the founder of the Wild East Football website, which charts the Chinese leagues, he thinks football provides a valuable insight into the changing nature of the country's society. "The best thing about Chinese football is the fan culture - it's magical," he says. "In the past, Chinese football was corrupt and the stadiums were empty. It has been played with these problems but you had fans that love football so much they still wanted to go. "These are people who are on the edge of society and they're not afraid to stick their neck out a bit and be a bit different. "And in that respect you can get a look into the future of China and what kind of country it's going to turn into. "You get to meet the people who are daring to be a bit different and they're taking part in a sub-culture. For me, it's been a huge privilege to see that and be part of it." Ma Chengquan Media playback is not supported on this device Increased fan participation is welcome news to the boss of China's Super League. China's government wants to create a £550bn sports industry in an attempt to diversify its economy. Football is the focal point of that effort. He is eager for clubs to invest in facilities, to have better pitches and to improve their media facilities. But Ma Chengquan has other matters on his mind too. China's President, Xi Jinping, wants the national team to rise from its lowly Fifa world ranking of 81st. And it is mainly through the CSL that China's World Cup dream will be delivered. Ma rarely speaks to the media but, sitting in the boardroom of the CSL headquarters in Beijing, he discusses his recent journey to the UK: "I travelled to London last year to visit the Premier League and [executive chairman] Richard Scudamore told me that England and China have much in common. "We both have a great league, with great clubs. But our national teams do not perform as well as the country would like." One difference between England and China, however, is that there is a collective will amongst CSL owners to deliver the president's demands. This is very much a nation united with one common purpose. Qualifying for a World Cup is the first target. Hosting the tournament, with 2030 in its sights, and then winning football's ultimate prize remain long-term ambitions. To do that, China must build a football culture. There is an appreciation from Ma that China cannot just buy one and that the emphasis must be on producing homegrown talent. "Five years ago I couldn't imagine what's happening right now but we'll definitely see a huge development in the Chinese Super League because we have so much attention from government, private sector and investors," he adds. "Football education and going into schools will be key. We have public support too and that will help build a firm foundation for the future of Chinese football." Tom Byer The small, rural town of Pinggu may be about to enter China's football folklore. Two hours east of Beijing, in the shadow of the Great Wall, sits Jinhai Hu elementary school Its pupils are pioneers. Media playback is not supported on this device They attend one of China's first designated football schools - providing a first glimpse of their president's vision of a footballing future. The unlikely figure forging a new path for the People's Republic is American Tom Byer. Having achieved cult status in Japan after contributing to their football development, he was headhunted by their neighbours to deliver similar results. Byer is working with China's Ministry of Education. He will soon visit 64 cities to promote a series of coaching videos which will be played daily within every classroom in the country. "It was taken from my success of doing TV in Japan," says Byer. "The purpose is to empower children to practise on their own the most meaningful skills and basic techniques of stopping, starting and changing direction." There's also a book, "Football Starts At Home", which emphasises the need for parents to encourage their children to develop control of the football from an early age. "One of the big things I recommend is focusing on very young kids - below the age of six," he adds. "There are 209 member associations in Fifa. Only eight have won a World Cup. Why are there only a handful of countries that dominate worldwide? "If you study football and understand how development takes place, it's not so much about the coaching as it is the culture. So we need to do a much better job of educating Chinese families and young children. How can they start conditioning them from a very young age on how to manipulate a football?" Byer acknowledges that progress will take time and patience will be needed. "One of the big indicators is not if China qualifies for the World Cup but is it qualifying regularly for the Under 17 Fifa World Cup? Are they qualifying for regional under-16 tournaments? "We need to make sure the culture is set up so it's conducive to football development and also to educate families that kids involved in physical activity do better academically. "You can always hire and fire the best coaches in the world. You can't hire and fire parents. You're stuck with them. So if you understand how important the role that they play is then they are the ones you should be focussing on. "There's no shortcut for producing a strong footballing country or culture. It all starts with the kids. Unless we get it right with the foundation level then it's going to be a very long road for China. "But think on this. There are 100 million children under the age of six in this country. Even if you kind of get it right you have to imagine you'll create some world-class footballers. Mads Davidsen In the end, China's football ambitions will come down to the personal determination of its players to succeed. On the outskirts of Shanghai sits an elite government-owned training complex which houses some of the country's best young talent in swimming, rowing and badminton. It is also the training base for CSL side Shanghai SIPG. On the training pitch a practice game is under way between members of SIPG's youth team, overseen by their Danish coach Mads Davidsen. He moved to China five years ago and also works alongside head coach Sven-Goran Eriksson with the first team. The young players have a focus and intensity to their game, something Davidsen attributes in part to the society they are growing up in. "In Denmark, we have a very nice society. If you don't make it as a pro player you can walk straight into university. In Denmark we often say 'how can we create hunger in paradise?' "I have the exact opposite with Chinese players. There is no paradise. This is their chance in life. I have a group of very hungry players who want to train hard and work hard. "They are here with a mission. They are here because they have to create a career and not only for themselves. "In Chinese culture when you grow up you have to take care of your parents. It's a big responsibility to have. It's up to you. You're the son - you have to take care of your parents." Davidsen doesn't see his time in Chinese football as a stepping stone to a job in Europe. He believes he is well placed to take advantage of football's new frontier given his belief that interest in football will not fade. "As long as the political will is there it's going to stay, 100%," he adds. "The only thing that can change, as I see it, is if the political way changes. "If they suddenly change president or they change direction then of course you never know what will happen. But as long as Xi Jinping has put his name into football then it will continue." Senior officers are encouraging people to go out but to remain vigilant on the first holiday weekend with the national threat level at its highest. Security is being increased at football cup finals at Wembley and Hampden Park and the Great Manchester Run. Police are questioning 11 men over the attack in which 22 people died. Prime Minister Theresa May is chairing an emergency Cobra meeting, having left the G7 in Sicily early. The latest arrests saw two men, aged 20 and 22, detained after officers carried out a controlled explosion to gain entry to an address in the Cheetham Hill area of Manchester in the early hours of Saturday. It came after searches at a separate property in Cheetham Hill and in the Longsight area of the city. The UK threat level was raised from "severe" to "critical" following the attack at Manchester Arena on 22 May. The country's leading counter-terror officer, Met Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, said on Friday that "immense" progress had been made in the investigation into a suspected network linked to suicide bomber Salman Abedi. He said there were still "important" lines of inquiry to pursue but urged the public to "go out as planned and enjoy yourselves". Police had reviewed security at more than 1,300 events across the country and people could be "100% confident" they were doing everything possible to protect them, he added. "Whatever events you are going to - whether you are going shopping or to sporting events or music events, I'd encourage the public to carry on. What they will see is many more police officers - some armed, some unarmed - out there to protect the public," he said. Among the entertainment, sporting and community events taking place is Radio 1's Big Weekend. Newsbeat's Steve Holden explained how security had been stepped up at Europe's biggest free ticketed event, where 25,000 people are expected on Saturday, and on Sunday. There are more police officers, sniffer dogs, and two-stage security in place, with checks at transport hubs as well as "airport-style security" at the venue. "The advice is not to bring big bags, things like umbrellas and big coats," he said. "People in Hull are still excited to come - we spoke to lots of people who were gutted they were working this weekend or that they didn't get tickets. "Saying that, there was a smattering of people who have been put off." About 1,000 armed police officers have been freed up by a decision to deploy the Army to protect key sites including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. Policing will also be stepped up at the Aviva Premiership Rugby Final at Twickenham and the football play-offs at Wembley on Sunday and Monday. Met Police Ch Supt Jon Williams said operations will include both high-profile and covert tactics. "All of this is designed to make the policing approach unpredictable and to make London as hostile an environment as possible to terrorists," he said. He added: "Anyone coming to the FA Cup Final or the other play-off matches over the weekend will see an increase in police numbers in and around the stadium. "At Twickenham, rugby fans will see more armed officers on foot around the stadium." Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning On Sunday, the Great Manchester Run will go ahead with runners and spectators due to turn out in large numbers as the city recovers from the bombing at the concert by the US singer Ariana Grande. Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins has said the additional armed policing support enabled the event to go ahead. As well as military personnel, Ministry of Defence Police are also being used to support regional forces, with Kent Police confirming that "highly-visible firearms officers are already patrolling key locations". Meanwhile, enhanced policing and security will also be in place at Saturday's Scottish Cup Final at Hampden Park in Glasgow. Supt Mark Hargreaves said: "There is no specific threat against Scotland, or the Scottish Cup Final; however, people should remain calm but vigilant and report anything suspicious to police." Eleven men aged between 18 and 44 - including Abedi's brother Ismail - are in custody on suspicion of terror offences, following arrests in Greater Manchester, Warwickshire and Merseyside. A 44-year-old man was held on Friday evening in the Rusholme area of Manchester, with witnesses reporting seeing armed police surrounding a bus on Oxford Road. Seven children were among those who died. A total of 66 people remain in hospital, with 23 in critical care. Prime Minister Theresa May is to hold another meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee later to assess the security situation. The Leythers became the first Championship club to climb back to the elite level since the old franchise system was scrapped and a "three groups of eight" end-of-season set-up was introduced for 2015. Their achievement means one of Hull KR, Huddersfield Giants and Salford Red Devils - three of the four top-flight sides that ended up in the middle tier known as the Qualifiers - will drop out. Rovers or Giants can ensure their spot with victory in Saturday's "shoot-out" between the pair, while the loser will ponder the uncertainty of the Million Pound Game - a tussle between fourth and fifth in the table to decide the remaining Super League place. From a purely sporting perspective, the return of promotion and relegation has given the format a new lease of life in 2016, perhaps outdoing Super League itself for excitement and incident. The quirk of the fixture list to pair Huddersfield and Hull KR in the final game of the campaign has set up a dramatic finale for coaches, fans and players alike. "These games are the reason we play," Rovers half-back Terry Campese told BBC Sport. Campese, who has played State of Origin for New South Wales, for Australia and spent 12 NRL seasons at Canberra, has placed great significance on Saturday's encounter. "The pressure, whoever handles it the best gets through," the 32-year-old added. "It's exciting, nerve-wracking, everything all in one. "It's not like the loser has a repercussion but if you do lose you're in the Million Pound Game, which is a scary thought." While the media will lap up the tense excitement and a neutral audience could be enticed into following the game, there is a darker side to the events that could unfold over the next few weekends. Super League clubs work on Super League budgets, not just in terms of playing staff but behind the scenes from coaching to commercial. Relegation to the Championship, where the financial rewards are much lower, forces clubs to make financial cuts. "There's a lot more behind the scenes," Campese added. "There are a lot of backroom staff that also lose their jobs and it's a lot of money you miss out on. Huddersfield hooker Ryan Hinchcliffe says the end-of-season stakes are huge on a private and professional level. "We've invested a huge amount," he said after Sunday's win against Leeds kept their hopes alive. The 31-year-old had been at NRL side Melbourne Storm for six years, winning premiership and World Club Challenge honours, but opted to bring his family to the other side of the world to play. "This Qualifiers concept is a stressful one and the stress that goes along with it is not a nice thing," he said. Uncertainty is tough for everyone involved, but particularly the import players. Some travel thousands of miles with families in tow to continue their careers in Super League, bedding into British life. "My kids started school over here," Campese said. "They don't grow up with family back home like cousins, aunties, uncles, nan and pops etc. It's a big investment for us. "We want to put our best foot forward, do right by the club that takes a gamble on us." Such distractions have prompted Giants boss Rick Stone to try to shield his players. "Everyone keeps telling you [about relegation]," he told BBC Radio Leeds. "It's hard for the players to get it out of their heads. "They've got a lot of their life invested in what they're doing at the moment, so we've tried to focus on the process rather than worry about the ramifications." The notion of relegation is alien to Australian rugby league audiences, with a "closed-shop" National Rugby League and the most high profile feeder leagues in New South Wales and Queensland existing on the fringes. It makes Saturday's game and the possibility of a one-off match to stay in the division even more significant - even for those who have the experience of playing in the the game's showpiece event in Britain and down under. "I've played Grand Finals, World Club Challenges," Hinchcliffe added. "There's nothing that compares to playing for your contract, playing for your futures. "The pressure of that is big, and if anyone says they've not been feeling any pressure I don't think they're telling the truth." In terms of the table, there is little to statistically separate the teams, with an identical record and only a four-point advantage for Hull KR on points difference. Rovers, hosts on Saturday, have even been bolstered by the return from retirement of veteran prop, multiple Super League winner and former Man of Steel Jamie Peacock, 38, for the tail end of this critical period. His presence, added to Campese's return from injury, has given the Robins hope of staving off the drop. Huddersfield arrive in East Hull having ended Leeds' 100% record in The Qualifiers, bouncing back from a wake-up call defeat by Leigh the previous week. Campese summed up the situation that faces both sides on Saturday lunchtime: "Everyone knows that if we win we're safe, if we don't we're playing again the following week. "We have to worry about what is in our hands and work on what we can." Dozens of people, including construction workers and restaurant staff, reported being fired after staying at home on Thursday. The protest aimed to highlight the contribution of immigrants in the US. One employer told CNN his staff would have to "pay the price" of standing up for what they believed in. Jim Serowski, of JVS Masonry in Commerce City, Colorado, said he had no regrets after sacking about 30 bricklayers. "They were warned, 'if you do this you're hurting the company, and if you go against the team you're not a member of the team'," he was quoted as saying. The exact number of workers fired is not clear, however US outlets reported a series of sackings. Among those who said they had lost their jobs were 12 restaurant workers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who spoke to Fox News and 18 employees at a commercial painting company in Nolensville, Tennessee, according to NBC. Businesses and schools across the US faced widespread disruption on Thursday as workers and students took part in a strike over President Donald Trump's hard-line stance on immigration. In a news conference last week, Mr Trump said he would publish a new executive order after the US courts stymied his previous attempt to bar the entry of immigrants from seven mostly Muslim countries. The Associated Press quoted a senior administration official on Monday as saying the new order would target people from the same countries - Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya. Rallies took place in various US cities, including New York's Times Square, over the weekend to support Muslim Americans and to protest against Mr Trump's policies. In Boston, hundreds of scientists took to the streets on Sunday over the president's approach to issues such as climate change. Thousands of people are expected to attend further demonstrations on Monday to coincide with the US Presidents' Day holiday, with Mr Trump expected to return to Washington from his Mar-a-Lago beach retreat in Florida. Police said a "scruffy" white man in his 40s approached the girl on Love Lane at 15:30 BST on Friday, close to Trinity School. Officers said they were "keeping an open mind" about a possible link with the attempted abduction of an eight-year-old girl on Tuesday. The girl was cycling on Owen Road when a woman in a car grabbed her arm. Thames Valley Police have said there were "extra patrols" in the area. Det Con Snezhanna Lennon said: "This was a frightening experience for the victim." Birmingham 1-0 Bolton Brentford 3-0 Wolves Bristol City 0-4 Brighton Burnley 1-0 Nottingham Forest Ipswich 0-1 Hull Leeds 1-1 Fulham Middlesbrough 3-1 Cardiff MK Dons 1-1 Huddersfield Preston 2-1 Charlton Reading 1-0 Rotherham Sheff Wed 1-1 QPR Photographer Abbie Trayler-Smith travelled to Iraq with Oxfam to meet two women who have returned to their homes in the village of Bashir which was liberated from so-called Islamic State (IS) earlier this year. Here they describe what happened from the moment IS arrived. Before this crisis, we were living very well. We had a two-storey house, livestock and a shop. We weren't worried about IS because we were surrounded by military and police. We were careless about it; I never thought they would come to Bashir. When IS came, my husband was away working repairing electricity pylons. The traditional culture here is that the husband is the head of the family and women don't do anything without their permission. He told me to stay but I saw people escaping from the village on the road so I called him. The imam was on the speaker telling people not to leave, he was saying that those that leave are cowards; that's why so many people stayed in my village. My eldest daughter understood what was going on and she was afraid. She was telling me not to listen to her father; they are shooting, we should go. I tried to comfort her and tell her it would be OK and that her father would come and rescue us. I was afraid because they were shooting and bombing, so I took my children and went to Taza, the next town. I kept thinking it was the end of our lives and they would kill us. I kept thinking about my husband who was close to the frontlines. After leaving Taza and going to the mosque, we stayed there for seven months. After that we went to a school building for two months. Then the school year started and we were asked to leave so we went to live in a cattle stable in Leylan where we stayed for a year. The neighbours helped us and gave us food. Nobody knew us, we were strangers there; but they helped us anyway. I didn't send my son to school because I thought we would come home soon. He lost a year of his education. Even now it's hard for me to send the children to school. They need clothes and books and I have no money. Every day that I was displaced I was living to come home. When Bashir was retaken I told my husband that I wanted to come back. He said we couldn't because we were fasting and I told him we should go home and fast once we're back. The first time I saw my house I cried for a long time. My blood pressure went up so my husband took me away. For a month I couldn't come here. I kept thinking to myself that at least I have my husband and children. I kept comparing myself to those that had been captured or killed. When we eventually came back there were red warning strips all over the house saying there were mines inside but I cut the tape and came inside anyway. I wasn't worried; I can watch where I put my feet. One mine exploded outside my house. My husband is a barber, but IS destroyed his shop so now he has no job. We spend all of our time building our house. Our nephews help us, and even though it isn't complete yet I decided to bring my children home. I am happy to be home because it's my home; even if I only eat bread I am happy to be back. I never thought I would get to come back. The day it all started, my husband had gone to visit the shrines and I was alone baking bread for my family. It was about 8am. There was a lot of shooting in the streets and our house was getting shot. All of the young people were coming out of their houses and making a frontline. I called my son, who is a policeman working with the emergency forces in Kirkuk, and I asked him to come and save us. When he arrived, I gave him the bread I had been baking and he took it to the frontline for the soldiers and his brother. I couldn't think straight; I was out of my mind in panic. We took the car and within two hours IS had taken our village. We went to Taza, the closest town, but we could see that IS was coming very fast, so later we left for Kirkuk. When we arrived in Taza, people there didn't know what was happening. They asked us what was going on and we told them that IS was coming. IS killed 75 people that day and they did terrible things to the bodies. My youngest son and two nephews died. We faced so many difficulties when we were displaced. I lost two children from malnutrition. After six months in Kirkuk they got sick and my grandson died of starvation. The doctor told me he was suffering from malnutrition but we had no food. We were on the streets; what could I do? We were always hurting. We thought maybe we had done something bad in our lives and we were being punished. The first thing that happened when I came home was someone showed me where my son had died. When I saw where he was killed, I became very sick. I slept for seven days. Now I am more happy because I am settled and not moving from house to house. I used to own a small shop and I would like Oxfam to help me reopen it. I used to have small window at the back of the house and sell groceries from there." Media playback is not supported on this device The year? 1936. And while the story of GB's successful ice hockey team at those Winter Olympics - with nine of its 13-strong squad living in Canada, speaking with Canadian accents and having no memory whatsoever of Britain - has long been forgotten, the contentious issue of national identity in the country's sporting teams skates on. Athletics: Mo Farah (Mogadishu, Somalia), Tiffany Porter (Michigan, USA), Yamilé Aldama (Havana, Cuba) Basketball: Luol Deng (Wau, Sudan) Cricket: Jonathan Trott (Cape Town, South Africa), Kevin Pietersen (above - Pietermaritzburg, South Africa) Cycling: Chris Froome (Nairobi, Kenya), Sir Bradley Wiggins (Ghent, Belgium) Football: Raheem Sterling (Kingston, Jamaica), Wilfried Zaha (Abidjan, Ivory Coast) Golf: Justin Rose (Johannesburg, South Africa) Rugby Union: Brad Barritt (Durban, South Africa), Dylan Hartley (Rotorua, New Zealand), Manu Tuilagi (Fogapoa, Samoa), Mako Vunipola (Wellington, New Zealand) Tennis: Laura Robson (Melbourne, Australia) Wrestling: Olga Butkevych (Zaporizhia, Ukraine) Much of the debate is complicated, either by emotion or instinct, but there is one thing we can say with certainty: British teams have never, despite what the dewy-eyed and dogmatic would like to think, been the exclusive province of those born in Britain. A lamentable dilution of the national cause? Bearing in mind the birthplaces of such quintessentially English sporting heroes as Colin Cowdrey (Bangalore, India), Ted Dexter (Milan, Italy) and Bradley Wiggins (Ghent, Belgium), probably not. The first man to win a medal for Great Britain at a modern Olympics, way back in 1896, was Charles Gmelin, born in Krishnagar, India. Before we start battling through the politics and prejudices of who should be allowed to wear a national jersey, a little more on who legally can. If you hold a British passport, regardless of where you were born, you are eligible. So Tour de France winner Chris Froome (born in Kenya, schooled in South Africa, with a father and grandparents all born in Britain) rides for Great Britain, with considerable pride. The same applies to those born and raised overseas, only to subsequently move to the UK, with a British parent, as a child. Which is why Andrew Strauss (born in South Africa, moved to Australia aged six, arrived in southern England before his eighth birthday) could captain England's cricket team, why distance runner Mo Farah (born in Somalia, moved to Britain aged eight to live with his British-born father Mukhtar) wins Olympic and world doubles for Britain, why US Open golf champion Justin Rose (another born in South Africa, who moved to Hampshire aged five) is British not South African. Having an English, or Scottish, or Welsh, parent or grandparent is enough for both football and rugby's governing bodies, regardless of which passport the player themselves might hold. Of those who immigrate as adults, footballers become eligible for their adopted nation only after five years of continuous residency. The IRB, rugby's governing body, stipulates a residency of just 36 months; the English and Wales Cricket Board seven years. It's this last category that fires the most argument. Residency might legally qualify you to play for England, or Scotland, or Team GB. But what of hearts and minds? What makes someone British enough to deserve to wear the shirt or parade the flag? Which is where the problems multiply. Identity is a complex, often illogical sense, rather than a simple set of universal rules. If each of us were asked to define Britishness, we'd come up with 60 million nuanced versions. It can't be purely political, or else we would have had one-party rule for the past century. It can't be a single language, or else you could count out large chunks of Wales. Cultural? Nine million people watched Downton Abbey last weekend. Millions more have never seen a single episode. Often our feelings about a stranger's national identity are based entirely on ourselves. Is that person like me, or people that I know? Do I recognise their version of my country? Perceptions of patriotism can be shaped by as little as accent, as much as logic. Tiffany Porter, 100m hurdles bronze medallist at this year's World Championships in Moscow, has held dual UK and US citizenship since birth. But her unmistakable American drawl has arguably made her harder for some athletics aficionados to accept, just as some boxing fans never forgave undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis (born in West Ham, raised in London) his Canadian inflection. Lewis provides an apposite example of how many modern Britons escape neat definition. His parents were Jamaican. Having come to east London as immigrants themselves, they moved the family to Ontario when he was 12. Lewis subsequently won both the world amateur junior title and an Olympic heavyweight gold for Canada, enough for some British fans to consider his colours forever nailed to the maple. But he says he always felt British, not least for the playground beatings his Cockney accent elicited when he first arrived in his new home, and he returned to the country of his birth as soon as he turned pro. Then there is the charged effect of ethnicity and religion. England wicketkeeper Matt Prior, born in Johannesburg to a South African mother and English father, moved to Sussex aged 11 - three years older than Farah was when he arrived in Hounslow. But it is under articles on the black, Muslim Farah that the comments sections are often dominated by unpleasant rows about his supposed Britishness, not those on Prior. This is not Prior's fault. But neither is it Farah's. He provided the perfect summation of his own identity in the moments after his 5,000m triumph at London 2012. "This is where I grew up, this is where I started life. This is my country, and when I put on my Great Britain vest I'm proud. I'm very proud." Why the distrust of some immigrants in a national shirt? It is sometimes as if a sportsman not born in Britain must somehow care less about the nation's fortunes, or at least care for reasons we don't personally recognise, even though the shining example of NBA star Luol Deng (born in Sudan, granted political asylum with his family and subsequently raised in Brixton) shows often it is the refugee - with the most to lose, and the most to be thankful for - who cares the most. Why the distrust, in particular, of those who have arrived as adults? "He's only doing it for the money," comes one complaint. That this motive should be considered detrimental in sport, when it is positively lauded in other careers that immigrants may adopt, says as much about our own attachment to the outdated amateur ideals of long ago as it does about the athlete. It assumes someone who has come to Britain solely to play sport will somehow try a little less hard than someone born on these shores, even when the motivation of someone who has given up their life elsewhere to gamble all on a new existence could surely seldom be greater. There is the accusation of opportunism, as if ambition were bad for a sportsman, and as if opportunism wasn't exactly the sort of talent often lauded in the arena. Opportunism also runs both ways. Sporting governing bodies, particularly before the London Olympics, searched near and far for eligible talent, homegrown or otherwise. As a nation we wanted medals. As a nation we celebrated together when they came. So aren't we all complicit in the process, even if some might find it unsavoury? For all the kissing of badges and draping of flags, commitment to the national cause is a nebulous thing. Who has contributed more to the country, the sports star born overseas who then helps take their adopted team to the top of the world rankings, or the British-born hero who becomes a tax exile in Monaco to protect their earnings from being ploughed back into the society that nurtured them? Cricketer Kevin Pietersen came to Nottingham from Natal aged 20 - opportunistically, many would say, because he thought the quota system in the country of his birth would hold back his sporting ambitions. Next month in Brisbane, Pietersen should make his 100th Test appearance for England - more than Wally Hammond, more than Len Hutton, more than Peter May or Ken Barrington. He has scored more runs across all forms of the international game than any other England player. Little could indicate greater commitment to the cause. But when Pietersen fails to contribute with bat, or falls out with his team-mates, it is his nationality and that switch that crop up in analysis again and again. Even approaching his Test landmark there is the sense he is appreciated rather than loved by England supporters. Where, too, to draw impenetrable national borders? Sporting success is only partly down to the raw abilities of players and athletes. The quality of coaching they receive can be transformative, which is why German-born Jurgen Grobler is held in such high esteem by the 11 British rowers he has taken to Olympic gold (many of them, as with Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent, multiple times). Just because Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello failed with England's football team does not mean British sport - and thus national pride, and our collective identity - has not been well served. To keep British teams for the British would also exclude Zimbabweans Duncan Fletcher and Andy Flower, who together did so much to take England's cricket team from a ranking above only Bangladesh to number one in the world; would mean Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford and Paralympic 100m gold medallist Jonnie Peacock could never have worked with their brilliant American former coach Dan Pfaff and denied six-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Chris Hoy the vital input of German Jan van Eijden and Australian Shane Sutton. Sport reflects the wider world around it. People move, more than ever before - for love, for work, out of choice, out of desperation. The old world, encapsulated by some in the image of blood-soaked patriot Terry Butcher ignoring intense pain and stern medical advice to see England into the World Cup finals of 1990, is gone, even if it ever truly existed. Butcher's birthplace? Singapore. Comments have now been closed on this article because of persistent abuse of the service. The National Records of Scotland report revealed 613 people died as a result of drugs in 2014. A director of a Church of Scotland social care group said the rise was "related" to government cuts. The Scottish government said drug deaths continued to particularly affect an "ageing" group of users with a history of drug use. The figure of 613 deaths represents a 16% increase since 2013, and is the first time in three years the number has gone up. Calum Murray from CrossReach said alcohol and drugs partnerships were struggling "due to increasing demand for their services while central government funding diminishes". He added: "It would appear to be related that less funding for treatment leads to more deaths. I am greatly saddened by these figures because behind every one of these statistics is a tragic back story for families who merit great sympathy and understanding." Mr Murray said the Church of Scotland support group had a lot of sympathy for the Scottish government and recognised that decisions to reduce funding to alcohol and drugs support services would not be made out of choice but, rather, due to austerity measures. A government spokesman said: "These claims are simply not true - funding to Alcohol and Drugs Partnerships for drug treatment services has remained constant in recent years. "Statistics published today confirm that many drug-related deaths are older drug users who often have long-term, chronic health problems as a result of sustained and increasingly chaotic drug use issues, pin-pointing a cause of death is never easy." The spokesman said funding provided by the Scottish government to alcohol and drug partnerships for drug treatment services was £30.2m in 2012-13, and has been £30.4m in the three subsequent years. The previous peak of drug-related deaths was in 2011, when there were 584 recorded deaths. Of those drug deaths in Scotland in 2014, 74% of the victims were men. Just under one third of those who died were from the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde area, while 17% came from Lothian and 11% from Lanarkshire. More than half of the deaths were either blamed or partially blamed on heroin or morphine. Methadone, the prescribed heroin substitute, was involved in 214 cases. Reflecting recent trends, older drug users were most likely to die, with the 35-44 age group recording 213 deaths. The average age of people in Scotland dying of drug-related causes has further increased to 40 in 2014, up from 28 in 1996 when recording began. Paul Wheelhouse MSP, community safety and legal affairs minister, said the figures highlighted some progress in tackling problem drug use. He added: "Scotland still faces a huge challenge in tackling the damaging effects of long-term drug use among an ageing cohort of individuals in Scotland. "This group of individuals often have long-term, chronic health problems as a result of sustained and, in many cases, increasingly chaotic drug-use issues. We are undertaking work to better understand the needs of particular sub-groups." Without treatment, river blindness, guinea-worm and trachoma can disable children and stop adults working. The funding will go towards the distribution of tablets to treat diseases and research into new drugs. Ministers said the aim was to eliminate neglected tropical diseases for good. The announcement comes ahead of a World Health Organization conference in Geneva dedicated to neglected tropical diseases and their eradication. Over the next four years, the UK will spend a total of £360m on programmes to tackle diseases such as: This is double what has been spent annually in the previous four years, the Department for International Development said. International Development Secretary Priti Patel said the UK's support would protect more than 200 million people "from a future blighted by tropical disease". "These diseases belong to the last century. They cause unimaginable suffering and pain to some of the world's poorest people, forcing them into a deeper cycle of poverty with no way out. Yet they are treatable. "These diseases have been named 'neglected' for a reason, but I'm not prepared for them to be neglected any longer." The WHO has classified 18 diseases as neglected but treatable tropical diseases, including dengue and chikungunya, leprosy, sleeping sickness and Chagas disease. They are all infectious diseases that occur in tropical and subtropical conditions in 149 countries of the world. They mainly affect people who live in poverty, who have no clean drinking water and who are in close contact with infectious insects and animals, such as mosquitoes. They cost billions of dollars every year to developing economies because adults affected are too ill to go to work. The diseases are avoidable but if not treated, they can deform, disable and even kill. Media playback is not supported on this device Thistle's 1-0 win over Motherwell on Saturday means they will be in the top half of the table when it splits in two after this weekend's games. "We see this as a chance not only to finish sixth but catch those teams above us," said striker Doolan. "And, with the kind of form we're in, there's no reason why we can't." Thistle's run of eight league games unbeaten ensured their first top-six finish since the league split was introduced and their highest finish since 1981. "It's been unbelievable," said Doolan, whose side are only three points behind Hearts and eight adrift of St Johnstone with six games remaining. "It has been a great season so far and to have the top six wrapped up with a game to spare is even better. "Now we've made the top six, if we can catch Hearts then that's a massive achievement, but we need to try to keep that consistency now." Doolan had competed with Ade Azeez for a regular starting place in the first two thirds of the season, but the Scot has been a starter since two goals as a second-half substitute against Hamilton Academical in February. The 30-year-old has gone on to score five more to take his season's total to 13 and his personal tally since joining the club from juniors Auchinleck Talbot in 2009 to 102. However, rather than link the recent run with his own place in the team, Doolan points to a change in tactics by manager Alan Archibald. "We were playing a lot of high crosses into the box, which didn't really suit us and, as a small striker, it's not really the kind of ball I would want to be on the end of," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound. "But, since the turn of the year, we've practiced a lot on working the ball into the box in different ways and trying to cut teams open instead of getting the ball wide for crosses." Thistle were a point below Inverness Caledonian Thistle at the foot of the table in December. "Yes, we were in a terrible position at that point, but within the club, within the dressing-room, we knew we had the quality to get us out that situation," said Doolan. An approach for Archibald from Shrewsbury Town failed in October and Doolan believes the players took inspiration from the manager's loyalty. "The manager leads by example at times, especially when it comes to contracts," added the striker. "When he commits his future to the club, sometimes that encourages players to follow suit and I think that had a big bearing on the stability of the club. "Off the pitch, we are very stable and, on the pitch, we are improving year upon year and the manger's got a lot to do with that." The Exiles are five points adrift at the bottom of League Two and have lost their last eight league games in a row. Six players have joined the club during January; five of which played in their 3-1 defeat by Stevenage on Saturday. "We're confident these additions can turn what we've got into a winning side," Westley told BBC Radio Wales. "I'm sure that our fans, like most football fans, are smart enough to know that when you bring players together there's always a short-term risk, but you've got to do that for the long-term gain." Aaron Williams, Jaanai Gordon, Sid Nelson and Mark O'Brien all joined the club ahead of the Stevenage defeat while former players David Pipe and Craig Reid returned. "We're going to need to get one or two of them match fit. We've seen new players coming together and a couple of organisation errors that you would expect at a time when you're bringing lads in," Westley continued. "Over a long period of time the club hasn't been winning games and we've been in a rut ourselves, but that rut is deep. "To dig yourself out of it, you need to be really dramatic with what you're doing. We're going to turn a lot of things over, we've brought a lot of new qualities into the club and we're confident that with those additions we can turn what we've got into a winning side." Despite the influx of players during the January window, Westley says he plans to bring more players in, but it will not happen quickly. "Deals take time, you've got agents and clubs to talk to and players have families to talk to. There's lots that has to happen to get a deal over the line," he added. "It's not as simple as just clicking your fingers. We're working on lots of things and we're hoping that we can continue to make a decision to get a group of players who are capable of winning games consistently." The Paralympic stars will be among a large entry of international athletes in action at the Mary Peters Track. Smyth will have two 100m outings at the meeting which is being co-hosted by the Irish Milers Club, Beechmount Harriers and the West Belfast Coolers Club. McKillop will race over 1500m as he prepares for his London challenge. Four-time Paralympic gold medallist McKillop produced an impressive metric run at the recent Northern Ireland Championships as he clocked 4:04. And with international athletes from Ireland and the UK down to compete, Saturday's race should offer him the ideal tune-up for the defence of his two world titles next month in the Olympic Stadium. Smyth's 100m opponents will include emerging North Down talent Aaron Sexton and Dean Adams so the five-time Paralympic champion is likely to be tested. The Belfast meeting will also feature exciting Beechmount 400m talent Davicia Patterson who took more than a second off her personal best when clocking 54.50 seconds to finish second at the recent Northern Ireland Championships. Patterson was edged out by Catherine McManus in that race and the Dublin City Harrier will also be in the 400m field in addition to racing Carlow talent Molly Scott and another Dubliner Steph Creanor in the 100m. As ever at the Belfast Milers meet, the 800m races promise to be competitive affairs with Finn Valley 1:49 man Mark Hoy taking on Raheny's Kieran Kelly, who has a personal best of 1:47.50, plus Scottish international Cameron Boyak, who clocked 3:39.15 for the 1500m in 2015. The women's 800m field includes English 2:04.67 woman Ellie Baker plus Scotland's Philippa Millage and local hope Erin McIlveen who both have personal bests of 2:05, while World veterans champion Kelly Neely will be on pace-making duty as she works her way back to fitness after recently giving birth. Meet director Eamonn Christie is hoping Irish international John Travers will be a late addition to a 3,000m field that includes Bristol runner Dan Studley while local star wheelchair athlete Jack Agnew will tune up for his IPC World Junior Championship challenge in Switzerland in early August by competing in 400m and 1500m races against top Irish competitor Patrick Monahan. Christie's initial intention was to put on a women's 5,000m to give his own athlete Emma Mitchell an opportunity to achieve the Commonwealth Games consideration time in that event after already banking the Gold Coast 10,000m mark. "But Emma has been selected to represent Ireland in this weekend's European Team Championship in Finland which is a great honour for her and myself, as her coach," says Christie. "The European Team Championship means we are missing a number of athletes who in all probability would have competed at our meeting but we will still have strong fields in all the events. "We'll have a number of athletes who just missed out on selection for the Irish team so they will be motivated to produce big performances. "Every race is sponsored and there will cash prizes in every A race and every single race will have prizes for first, second and third." The meeting will get underway at 13:00 BST at the Mary Peters Track. He gained international prominence with his coverage of political oppression in his home country Belarus. Forced to emigrate to Russia, he clashed with TV bosses there over his critical reporting of the Ukraine conflict, and moved to Kiev. He was buried in the Belarussian capital, Minsk, where he was born. Mr Sheremet, who was 44, reported for Ukrayinska Pravda, a news website known for its investigative work. He was driving to work on Wednesday in a car belonging to his partner, the website's owner Olena Prytula, when the car was blown up. No arrests have been made, but Ukraine has asked the United States and the European Union for assistance in solving the murder. Mr Sheremet, who was born in Belarus but had Russian citizenship, was respected in Ukraine for being critical of both the Kremlin and of mistakes made by Ukraine when it severed ties with Russia following its 2014 revolution and the ensuing conflict in eastern Ukraine. "Sheremet will go down in history as a bright example of the new journalism of which the leaders of Russia and Belarus and Ukraine are afraid," Zhanna Litvina, head of the Belarusian Association of Journalists, told the AP news agency. On Friday, hundreds of others paid tribute him in Kiev, including Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. Why was Pavel Sheremet a big name? In 1997, Pavel Sheremet was jailed in Belarus after reporting on political oppression in the ex-Soviet state. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has cracked down on dissent during more than 20 years of authoritarian rule. In 2004 Sheremet suffered a severe beating in Belarus, where he founded Belarussky Partizan, an opposition news website. Later he worked for Russia's ORT television and was a news anchor on Vremya (Time), which has a huge audience. In 2014 he resigned from Russia's state-run Channel One TV, in protest at Russia's stance towards the political crisis in Ukraine. He moved to Kiev and worked for Ukrayinska Pravda, an independent news website founded by Georgy Gongadze, who was widely seen as a martyr for freedom when he was murdered in 2000. Gongadze's headless body was found in a forest outside Kiev. The murder fuelled anger that escalated into Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution. That pro-Western upheaval was repeated in 2013-2014, when the Moscow-backed President, Viktor Yanukovych, was forced to flee. North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust said its former patient records setup was labour intensive and in need of replacement. The new £7m computerised system means patient details will be accessible on screen to all health professionals. It has been two years in the planning, and comes into effect on Monday. Lynne Hodgson, from the trust, said "a massive amount of training has taken place" but they were "still expecting some teething problems". "We're just asking at this time that patients and relatives bear with us while the new system is bedding in," she added. But a UK security firm has shown the BBC how one tool, sold around the world to spooks, actually works. It allows spies to take secret pictures with a phone's camera and record conversations with the microphone, without the phone owner knowing. Hacking Team's software was recently stolen from the company by hackers and published on the web. Almost any data on a phone, tablet or PC can be accessed by the tool and it is fascinating how much it can do. When Joe Greenwood, of cybersecurity firm 4Armed, saw that source code for the program had been dumped online by hackers, he couldn't resist experimenting with it. Although he had to fiddle with the code to make it work, it only took a day before he had it up and running. The software consists of the surveillance console, which displays data retrieved from a hacked device, and malware planted on the target device itself. 4Armed was careful to note that using it to spy on someone without their consent would be against the law. After testing the software on his own PC, Mr Greenwood soon realised the scope of its capabilities. "You can download files, record microphones, webcam images, websites visited, see what programs are running, intercept Skype calls," he told the BBC. The software even has some in-built features to track Bitcoin payments, which can be difficult to associate with individuals without additional data about when and how transactions were performed. In a live demonstration of the system, Mr Greenwood showed how an infected phone could be made to record audio from the microphone, even when the device was locked, and use the phone's camera without its owner knowing. "We can actually take photos without them realising. "So the camera in the background is running, taking photos every number of seconds," explained Mr Greenwood. It was also possible to listen in on phone calls, access the list of contacts stored on the device and track what websites the phone user was visiting. Both Mr Greenwood and 4Armed's technical director, Marc Wickenden, said they were surprised by the sleekness of the interface. Both point out, though, that customers could be paying upwards of £1m for the software and would expect it to be user-friendly, especially if it was intended for use by law enforcers on the beat. For the tracked user, though, there are very few ways of finding out that they are being watched. One red flag, according to Mr Greenwood, is a sudden spike in network data usage, indicating that information is being sent somewhere in the background. Experienced spies, however, would be careful to minimise this in order to remain incognito. At present, spy software like this is only likely to be secretly deployed on the phones and computers of people who are key targets for an intelligence agency. The version of the spyware distributed online is now likely to be more easily detected by anti-virus programs because companies analysing the source code are in the process of updating their systems to recognise it. Security expert Graham Cluley said it should be as easy to detect as malware. "The danger will be that malicious hackers could take that code and augment it or change it so it no longer looks like Hacking Team's versions, which might avoid detection," he added. The best course of action, said Mr Cluley, is to keep operating systems and software as up to date as possible. In a statement, a spokesman for Hacking Team said it advised its customers not to use the software once the breach was discovered. "As soon as the event was discovered, Hacking Team immediately advised all clients to discontinue the use of that version of the software, and the company provided a patch to assure that client surveillance data and other information stored on client systems was secure. "From the beginning Hacking Team has assumed that the code that has been released is compromised," he said. The spokesman added that the software would be operated by clients of Hacking Team, not Hacking Team itself, and therefore no sensitive data relating to ongoing investigations had been compromised in the breach. "Of course, there are many who would use for their own purposes the information released by the criminals who attacked Hacking Team. "This was apparently not a concern of the attackers who recklessly published the material for all online. "Compiling the software would take considerable technical skill, so not just anyone could do that, but that is not to say it is impossible," he said. A Thai pineapple company brought the case against Andy Hall after a report he wrote which alleged labour abuses by the firm and others. The court said the investigation into the case did not meet certain legal requirements. Mr Hall faces more charges of violating Thailand's computer crimes act. Last year, Mr Hall authored a report for Finnwatch, a Finland-based watchdog, alleging poor labour conditions in seafood and pineapple export companies in Thailand. The allegations include wages below the legal minimum, long working hours at factories and illegally confiscating passports. Natural Fruit, which brought the charges, was one of the companies named and denies the findings of the report. The defamation charges relate to an interview Mr Hall gave to the Al-Jazeera network on the allegations in the report while in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). "Hall gave the interview outside of the Kingdom of Thailand therefore the investigation into the case had to include a team of police and officials from the attorney-general's office," a judge said. "However, there was only one police officer at the time of his interrogation, therefore we deem the investigation to be incomplete." On Finnwatch's Facebook page Mr Hall said: "I'm delighted at today's court ruling. It's real victory for migrant workers, labour rights, rule of law, freedom of expression in Thailand". A lawyer for Natural Fruit said the company would appeal against the decision. Mr Hall also still faces a number of other civil and criminal defamation cases brought by the firm. He has also been charged with violation of the computer crimes act, which holds a maximum sentence of seven years in prison. The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok says Thailand's treatment of migrant workers has come under ever increasing international scrutiny. Thailand imports migrant labour from neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, Cambodia and Myanmar for farming, fishing and construction jobs. However, many work without official permits and are paid below minimum wage. The bomb had been placed in a rubbish bin along the route of the 5km Semper Five run in Seaside Park. The participants would have been in the area but the race had been delayed because of an unattended bag. The charity race, in its third year, is in aid of Marines and sailors and this year attracted thousands of runners. The blast occurred at about 09:30 local time (13:30 GMT) on a boardwalk area, which authorities sealed off. State and federal law enforcement agencies are investigating the explosion. NBC reported that a second device had been found. Ocean County sheriffs said that 30 homes near the site of the explosion were evacuated. New Jersey State Police later said that no further explosive devices had been found, although officers "rendered safe" items in another rubbish bin, without giving further details. Attorney General Christopher Porrino said: "We are grateful that nobody was injured, but this is a serious act of violence against the people of New Jersey. We will not rest until we find the person or persons responsible." Three people were killed and 260 injured when bombs exploded at the finishing line of the Boston Marathon in 2013. Tracey Woodford, 47, was found three days after she was reported missing by her family. She was seen leaving the Skinny Dog pub in the town on Tuesday with a 50-year-old man, understood to be Christopher May, who has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Her body was found by police in a flat in Pontypridd at 15:00 BST on Friday. South Wales Police said the man and woman were seen together in the pub on Tuesday. Speaking at a press conference on Saturday afternoon, Det Supt Paul Hurley said they left shortly after 23:00 - about ten hours after Ms Woodford was last seen by her family in Rhydyfelin. He said: "The tragic events surrounding the death have had a profound effect on her family and the wider community, especially given the harrowing circumstances of her death." Areas of the town were cordoned off on Friday evening following the discovery of the body, including near Pontypridd Rugby Club, where officers conducted a search. The cordons remained in place on Saturday. Police said they would like to hear from anybody who was in the Skinny Dog on Tuesday between 21:00 and 23:00 who might have seen or heard anything suspicious. They also appealed for information from people living near Andrews Court, where Ms Woodford's body was found, or who were near the rugby ground on Sardis Road. Kevin Barry Mahoney, 46, was found dead behind Thomas Street, Briton Ferry, on 6 January. On Wednesday, South Wales Police arrested a 44-year-old man on suspicion of murder, who remains in custody at Swansea Central Police Station. Two men, aged 31 and 44, arrested on suspicion of murder are on police bail. Police are continuing to investigate the death and said further tests are being carried out to determine the cause of death. Prince Harry has long argued that the line between his public and his personal life has become almost non-existent. The fifth in line to the throne is now using the media he at times despises to focus on what he says is the plight of his current girlfriend. It's a path followed in the past by his brother when Kate Middleton (as she was then) was the subject of intense interest. But Prince William's appeals were never quite so passionate or quite so detailed. And in going public, Prince Harry has confirmed his relationship of a few months with Meghan Markle. There'll be those in Buckingham Palace who'll appreciate his pain, but who'll question the wisdom of issuing this statement. Prince Harry is appealing to the better judgement of newspaper editors and their readers. Will they listen? Will we listen? Both sides said nine Saudis were exchanged for 109 rebel fighters. The latest swap comes ahead of a planned ceasefire and renewed peace talks set for next month. The war passed its first anniversary on Saturday. More than 6,000 people, half of them civilians, have been killed, the UN says, since the start of the Saudi-led campaign. The coalition launched its offensive with the aim of repelling the rebels and restoring exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to power. Yemeni media said the nine freed Saudis were soldiers, Reuters news agency reported. The UN says both sides have agreed to a ceasefire starting 10 April, followed by negotiations a week later. Previous unilateral ceasefires announced by the coalition have been short-lived, and on-off peace talks have failed to stop the fighting. The war has had a catastrophic effect on the humanitarian situation in Yemen, which was already the poorest country in the Arab world, with four out of five people now needing aid to survive.

Pope, 31, has agreed a two-year deal with the club he supported as a boy, having left for Gigg Lane in 2015. He scored 10 goals in 73 League One appearances in his two seasons at Bury. Pope was more prolific in his first spell at Vale Park, netting 33 times in the 2012-13 season, the last time the club were in League Two. He remained their leading scorer in the following two campaigns, but rejected a new contract in 2015 and opted to sign for Bury. Pope becomes the first summer signing under Michael Brown.

Port Vale have re-signed striker Tom Pope from Bury as they reshape their squad following relegation from League One.

Account holders at RBS and its NatWest and Ulster Bank subsidiaries faced disruption for up to two weeks in June after a software upgrade at the bank. RBS released the compensation figure as it reported a half-year loss of £1.5bn, compared with £794m a year earlier. Much of the loss was caused by a £3bn accounting charge. This was a result of the bank having to change the valuation of its debt. The bank's revenues for the six months to 30 June fell 8% to £13.2bn. Investors appeared to give the results a warm welcome, as RBS's shares ended Friday trading in London up 5.6%. RBS chief executive Stephen Hester told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It is a pretty tough external environment, but I think we are making good progress." Hester: Banks detached from society RBS also said it had set aside a further £135m to cover compensation for customers who were mis-sold payment protection insurance, taking the total up to £1.3bn. In addition, it will pay out up to £50m to cover claims from small businesses who were mis-sold specialist insurance, known as interest rate swaps. The bank is 82% owned by the government, which needed to bail it out in 2008 and 2009 at the height of the global financial crisis. It announced in May that it had repaid the last of the £163bn in emergency loans it received from the UK and US governments. Mr Hester added in a statement: "We have continued to make the bank safer and stronger as we clean up problems of the past. "And despite the tougher economy, these results show our ongoing businesses to be more resilient than before, with many further improvements underway." RBS confirmed that it had dismissed a number of traders linked to the Libor rate-fixing scandal that saw fellow bank Barclays fined £290m in June. RBS said it was continuing to co-operate with investigations, but that it was not yet possible to measure the future impact on the bank, such as the timing and amount of any fines or settlements. The bank added that during the half-year its staffing costs fell 4% as it cut 5,700 jobs, primarily in its markets and international banking arm. Mr Hester also told the BBC that the banking industry, "became a bit detached from society and it is coming down to earth with a bump". He said it needed to change its culture to put customers first. RBS also confirmed that the sales of shares in its Direct Line insurance business would take place in October. The European Union ruled that it had to sell the business by the end of 2014 as one of the conditions of RBS securing its bailout from the UK government. Ian Gordon, analyst at brokerage Investec, welcomed RBS's latest results. "While MPs and regulators focus their energies on soundbites and gesture-politics, RBS management continues to make useful progress in terms of balance sheet repair," he said. However, pressure group Move Your Money UK, which is calling for greater reform of the UK banking sector, was unimpressed. "RBS results show just how fundamentally flawed our current banking model is," it said. Flooding caused 120-tonnes of rubble to block the rail line near Hexham and Corbridge early on Wednesday. The line reopened on Thursday but closed again after a second landslide caused trees to fall on the track. Northern Rail said it would be "closed for months" after a further landslip. Toby Higgins from the company said the route between Prudhoe and Hexham would remain impassable "for the foreseeable future". "The landslide is still moving, there's still water coming out of the bank and soil and trees coming down," he said. "We can hear it cracking and we can hear water running behind us and it is a case of waiting and seeing what happens in the next few days." Trains are running from Carlisle to Hexham and Newcastle to Prudhoe, with a replacement bus service in operation between Prudhoe and Hexham calling at all stations. Engineers were "assessing the situation" but they were "looking at months before the line can reopen", Mr Higgins said. The incident happened at about 13:00 near the junction at Torness Power Station. Police said the man, who was driving a black Ford Focus, suffered serious injuries. He was taken to hospital in Edinburgh but died a short time later. The 51-year-old man driving the lorry was uninjured. An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. Witnesses to the collision are asked to contact police. Ellishia Allen, 29, of Spruce Grove, Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, admitted murdering Karl Bloxham on 29 July 2015. Nottingham Crown Court heard Allen attacked Mr Bloxham, 39, with a kitchen knife when he went to the flat they shared in Spruce Grove. Allen, who had a previous conviction for assaulting police, was given a minimum term of 14 years in prison. Speaking after sentencing on Wednesday, Det Insp Andy Bateman, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "I feel enormously sorry for the parents of Karl Bloxham and for his sister and friends. "I'm also conscious that he had children from a previous relationship and I'm very sorry they have been deprived of him." Camau Bach, in Aberystwyth, temporarily shut after the boy was left on the bus outside on what had been the hottest day of the year - 19 July. It was referred to the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW), which has now completed an inquiry. Mudiad Meithrin, the charity which runs the nursery, said a member of staff remained suspended. The incident had also been referred to Ceredigion council's safeguarding board. In a statement, the council said: "We can confirm that inquiries under the All Wales Child Protection Procedures have been completed. "The provider is working closely with the regulatory body in order to ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place at the facility." Temperatures in parts of Ceredigion on the day of the incident reached 31.8C (89.2F). The CSSIW described it as "terrible", with parents saying the boy was "distressed" by what happened. 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.

The Aberdeen-based firm said it had laid off the staff after seeing sales revenue halve in the second half of last year. Plexus, which rents specialised wellhead equipment, reported revenues fell year-on-year from £13.5m to £6.8m. It also reported a loss of £3.5m for the six months to 31 December. That compared with a pre-tax profit of about £2.2m for the same period in 2014. Plexus said the impact of falling oil prices had particularly affected UK North Sea operations, as companies reduced their investment levels. It has undertaken a series of cost-cutting measures in response to the downturn, including laying off 50 of its 130 staff since the beginning of March. The company is also focusing on sales opportunities beyond its traditional North Sea territory. Last year, it either supported or started wellhead operations for several international oil and gas operators including Cardon IV in Venezuela, Masirah Oil in Oman and Brunei Shell Petroleum. Plexus chief Executive Ben van Bilderbeek said: "Faced with the current climate of lower orders and lower revenues, we like many other companies are of course not simply waiting for a pick-up in exploration activity to return to positive cash flow. "We have embarked on a series of major headcount and cost reduction measures designed to ensure we come through this cycle much leaner but still in a strong position to capitalise on the opportunities that I believe will present themselves as deferred and new drilling projects come back on stream."

Oil and gas engineering services firm Plexus Holdings has cut 50 jobs after being hit by a sharp contraction in exploration activity in the sector.

Bjelland, 28, has won 23 caps for his country and featured in both of Denmark's last two matches. He played 90 minutes in the 4-1 win over Kazakhstan on 11 November and the first half of their 1-1 draw with Czech Republic four days later. The Dane joined the Championship club from Dutch side FC Twente in 2015. Bjelland is one of three England-based players in the squad, alongside Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen. The Australian-born second-row, 24, is still waiting to add to his single cap - won against Italy in 2015. Brothers Jonny and Richie Gray have established a strong partnership, with former captain Grant Gilchrist and Tim Swinson also in the selection mix. "The second row is quite difficult to crack," Toolis acknowledged. "Jonny and Richie always play well for Scotland and you've got 'Gilko' [Gilchrist] as well. It's very tough and there are other boys in that position. "You have to stick your hand up and let them know you're ready to have a shot. "If I don't get picked I can't really blame myself, I'm happy with the way I'm playing." Jonny Gray has started 23 of Scotland's last 27 Tests going back to November 2014, with brother Richie alongside him for 20 of them. Edinburgh co-captain Gilchrist returned to the international fold in November after a series of injuries since the 2015 World Cup, starting against Argentina after a head knock ruled out Richie Gray. But Glasgow's Tim Swinson - man-of-the-match in their 43-0 European Champions Cup Cup demolition of Leicester last Saturday - and Toolis, who leads the statistics for tackles (73) and line-out takes (44) in this season's European Challenge Cup, have both been pressing their cases. "Looking at the squad, from one to 15, there is depth in each position," noted Toolis, who joined Edinburgh in 2013 and qualifies for Scotland via his mother Linda, who is from Carluke in Lanarkshire. "Each member could start and do a good job. That's probably where Scotland have been lacking in the past. We've always had a pretty good one to 15 but if there's an injury, they may fill the role but not necessarily as well. "I think it's the best I've seen, personally. Competition is good, it brings the best out of you and the players around you. It can be quite frustrating at times but that's just the way it is." Toolis may be up against it in the battle for a starting spot, but he insists a spirit of shared information and ambition pervades the Scotland set-up. "We are a team, there are no selfish players in the squad," he added. "The boys want to help each other out. "We know what we want to achieve as a squad in the Six Nations. We want to make sure everyone is doing the right thing. If there is an injury we want to make sure they come in and do the job well. "Jonny Gray's a great bloke. He always wants to help, give feedback and give his opinions or involve people. He's a very impressive player. He must be pushing for a spot on that Lions tour. He's one of the form locks in Europe at the moment." 4 February - Scotland v Ireland (14:25) 12 February - France v Scotland (15:00) 25 February - Scotland v Wales (14:25) 11 March - England v Scotland (16:00) 18 March - Scotland v Italy (12:30) Gladys Hooper, from Ryde, needed emergency surgery after fracturing her hip when she fell at home. Orthopaedic surgeon Jason Millington said: "She's an amazing lady, to my knowledge she's the oldest person documented to have had this procedure." Mrs Hooper is recovering at the island's St Mary's Hospital. The hospital said notwithstanding her age it was right to spend £6,000 on the operation to fit the ceramic hip. Mr Millington said: "This was emergency surgery, it's not based on age. "My philosophy is never too old to operate, just too unwell, and in Mrs Hooper's case she was certainly well enough. "If the benefits of the surgery outweigh the risk then it's a pretty easy decision and you operate. "She deserves treatment as much as anyone else." Following the operation Mrs Hooper said she felt "somewhere near 80" in age. This was an emergency operation to replace half of the right hip joint, after the patient's hip was fractured in a fall. Instead of a total hip replacement, only the ball portion of the hip was replaced - not the socket. Hip replacements are a common procedure, usually carried out in older people between 60 and 80 because of wear and tear or damage to the hip joint. Patients over 100 years old are unusual, but their number is increasing because people are living longer. There are risks in undergoing a general anaesthetic at that age. But there are other options - in this case a spinal anaesthetic was used. The challenge now for Mrs Hooper is to get back on her feet and use her new hip - a process which can take four to six weeks for even the most mobile patients. The Otley-born former road race world champion attacked with 14km of the 122.5km route to go, shaking off Britain's Dani King and Olympic road race champion Anna van der Breggen. Deignan, 28, finished in Harrogate in three hours nine minutes 36 seconds. In stage two of the men's race, sprinter Nacer Bouhanni claimed victory from Caleb Ewan. It was the second consecutive day that Orica-Scott's Ewan was runner-up but that was enough to earn him the race leader's blue jersey. Deignan, her Dutch Boels-Dolman team-mate Van der Breggen and Cylance Pro Cycling's King were part of an eight-strong group that broke away from the field with about 60km remaining after climbing the brutal Cote de Lofthouse. The three riders then moved ahead as the route flattened out before Deignan made her move to record her first win since marrying Team Sky racer Philip Deignan in September 2016. "It rates pretty high up there. To finish how I did, solo, with the crowds on the finish line is surreal and special all at the same time," she told BBC Sport. "I didn't soak it up until I had about 100m to go," added Deignan, who finished 55 seconds ahead of American Coryn Rivera. Women's Tour de Yorkshire result: 1. Lizzie Deignan (GB/Boels Dolman) 3hrs 09mins 36secs 2. Coryn Rivera (US/Team Sunweb) +55secs 3. Giorgia Bronzini (ITA/Wiggle High 5) Same time 4. Amy Pieters (NED/Boels Dolman) 5. Hannah Barnes (GB/Canyon SRAM Racing) Frenchman Bouhanni, riding for Cofidis, prevailed after an untidy sprint to the finish of the 122.5km stage from Tadcaster, caused by a flurry of late attacks. The stage win leaves him two seconds behind Ewan, with Friday's stage winner, Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen third overall on the same time. "It was hard and steep at the finish - it seems like all the roads are hilly in Yorkshire," Bouhanni, 26, said. "Yesterday I watched the finish of the 2014 Tour de France stage here and that allowed me to better understand today's sprint. "There were so many people on the road it felt like the Tour de France." Men's Tour de Yorkshire, stage two result: 1. Nacer Bouhanni (Fra/Cofidis) 2hrs 45mins 51secs 2. Caleb Ewan (Aus/Orica-Scott) Same time 3. Jonathan Hivert (Fra/Direct Energie) 4. Dylan Groenewegen (Ned/LottoNL-Jumbo) 5. Chris Lawless (GB/Great Britain) Men's Tour de Yorkshire, overall classification: 1. Caleb Ewan (Aus/Orica-Scott) 6hrs 55mins 17secs 2.

Jonathan Hivert (Fra/Direct Energie) Same time The prime minister, of course, made a statement to MPs the day after the attack, and expressed MPs' gratitude to the staff and security teams who guard the Palace of Westminster. There will be many acts of remembrance in the days ahead, while parliamentarians get on with the day-to-day business of democracy. So watch out for statements around the triggering of Article 50, the formal process for Britain's divorce from the EU, and on the expected vote in the Scottish Parliament, calling for a second independence referendum. Elsewhere, there's an increasingly fag-end feel to the parliamentary business, with much tying-up of legislative loose ends, as the end of the parliamentary year looms. One event that's not on the agenda is the long-awaited debate on the plan to move MPs and peers out of their iconic Victorian building to make way for a £4.3bn (at a minimum) restoration and renewal (R&R) project. I'm told this had been pencilled in for Thursday 20 April, until objections were raised that many MPs might be absent and that might allow opponents of the plan to pass an amendment blocking it. In any event, the proposed motion would simply have authorised a further detailed study, albeit at a considerable cost, plus, without committing Parliament to go ahead. And meanwhile the entertaining spat across the committee corridor continues, with the Treasury Committee seeking to give the definitive ruling on the R&R scheme, trumping an inquiry by the Public Accounts Committee. PAC hackles have been raised by a hostile account of their inquiry in the pages of the latest Private Eye. Expect a few punch ups in the Commons bike-sheds, if this kind of thing continues. Update: On Wednesday in the Lords, there's a bit of legislating to do, with the third report stage day of the Digital Economy Bill (displaced from last week because of the terrorist attack) - followed by a motion to approve the Horserace Betting Levy Regulations 2017. Labour's two motions on the process of Brexit have been postponed until Tuesday 4 April. The Commons opens (2.30pm) with Work and Pensions questions - and watch out for any urgent questions or ministerial statements at 3.30pm. MP then move on to the report stage and third reading debates on the Bus Services Bill - there are a number of interesting amendments. - the Lib Dem John Pugh has two calling for concessionary bus travel for 16 to 18-year-olds in apprenticeships and full-time education. And Labour are calling for a 10 year national strategy for local bus services - but the big battle looks to be over a Labour proposal to delete clause 22 of the bill, which aims to ban local councils from forming their own bus companies. In Westminster Hall (4.30pm) there's a debate on e-petition 165672 on ending the badger cull. The petition says that, since 2013, thousands of badgers have been killed in a government cull attempting to control bovine TB. Against scientific advice and before a four year trial has completed, the government is now expanding the cull to new counties - tens of thousands of healthy badgers could be killed. The petition has attracted 108,319 signatures. My committee pick is the Joint Committee on National Security Strategy inquiry (4.15pm) into Cyber Security: UK national security in a Digital World, where the inquiry kicks off with witnesses from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Nettitude, the NCC Group and Cardiff University. In the Lords (2.30pm) the main event is report stage consideration of the Technical and Further Education Bill - there are lots of amendments down dealing with such subjects as requiring a report on quality outcomes of completed apprenticeships, financial support for students undertaking apprenticeships, and establishing an apprenticeship helpline, The dinner break business is a regret motion from Labour's Baroness Sherlock on a Statutory Instrument on the Personal Independence Payment, focusing particularly on fears that the regulations would discriminate against people with mental health problems and put vulnerable claimants at risk. Labour are planning to push this to a vote. There is also a fatal motion from the Lib Dems, on which Labour plan to abstain. The Commons begins (11.30am) with Foreign Office questions, after which the Conservative Suella Fernandes has a Ten Minute Rule Bill calling for enforcement of Child Arrangement Orders in contact disputes. She says there is a real problem of resident parents breaching judge-made contact orders with impunity - she wants better enforcement, because the consequences can be devastating: "In the worst cases, a non-resident father might be denied access to his child for several years with his only option being to spend huge amounts of money in the courts with little guarantee of a fair outcome. Children have the right to a meaningful relationship with both parents upon divorce but the law does not currently enable this to happen because of a failure to crack down on parents who breach, a criminal threshold for contempt which is rarely met and an inability to assert its authority. I would advocate a 'three strikes' approach where residence (if safe) should be transferred, so that a strong message is sent that Child Arrangement Orders are mandatory, not optional." She also argues for a presumption of shared parenting - a meaningful relationship between the child and both parents, as far as is practicable (and as long as the safety/welfare of the child is not put at risk) should be the starting point for determining the residence and contact with a child upon a divorce. Currently, the law only provides for "parental involvement… direct, or indirect", which can amount to a birthday card or Christmas card every year. Then MPs deal with Lords amendments to the Neighbourhood Planning Bill - the government lost a vote in the Lords on regulations to remove building owners' existing rights to change the use of, or to demolish, drinking establishments without planning permission - will the government seek to overturn it? Next comes a general debate on the conflict in Yemen. And the adjournment debate, led by the SNP's Hannah Bardell, is one health and safety in the mining industry. Events in Westminster Hall include debates on preventing avoidable sight loss (9.30am-11am) led by the Conservative Nusrat Ghani who's Chair of the APPG on Eye Health and Visual Impairment, on the prevention of avoidable sight loss. There are almost two million people in the UK living with sight loss, and this is predicted to double to around four million people by 2050, in part due to our ageing population. It's estimated that 50% of sight loss incidences are avoidable. Despite the high occurrence of sight loss, there is no overarching strategy in England to govern it, in contrast to the strategies that exist for hearing loss and dementia. Eye care strategies do exist in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Ms Ghani will be asking for a strategy to support prevention and care in England. The Conservative MP, Royston Smith, will be seeking funding for the National Spitfire Project - a scheme for a memorial to the iconic World War II fighter in Southampton. Supermarine, the company which created the Spitfire, was based in the city, and its factories were targeted by German bombers. Mr Smith is seeking £4m from the LIBOR fund, the money collected in fines for interest rate manipulation, and held by the Treasury, so that a highly visible memorial can be placed on Southampton's waterfront (2.30pm - 4pm). Finally (4.30pm- 5.30pm) the Conservative Ben Howlett leads a debate on Implementing the UK Strategy for Rare Diseases - the government published its Rare Diseases Strategy in 2013 and the All Party Parliamentary Group for Rare, Genetic and Undiagnosed Conditions have since held an inquiry into how the strategy is working. It found that the government needs to introduce an implementation plan in England. The minister has already said this is a personal priority for her and Mr Howlett hopes to hear more about how she intends to do that. In the Lords, (2.30pm) peers debate the detail of the Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Ratification of Convention) Bill - which would move the UK towards putting the Istanbul Convention into UK law. Then they turn to their first day of committee stage debate on the Criminal Finances Bill, where the key issues include the Proceeds of Crime Act, Unexplained Wealth Orders and suspicious activity reports on money laundering. During the dinner break there will be a short debate on the maintenance of the UK's world-leading position in medical research, led by the Lib Dem peer Lord Sharkey, who fears it may be under threat after Brexit. MPs open (11.30am) with International Development questions, followed, at noon by Prime Minister's Questions. Next comes a Ten Minute Rule Bill from Labour's Andy Burnham, who's contesting the newly-created Greater Manchester mayoralty.. He is proposing the Public Authority (Accountability) Bill - aka the Hillsborough Bill - which has cross-party support. It will require public bodies and individuals to carry out their functions in the public interest, including assisting courts, official inquiries and investigations. It creates new offences for the breach of these new duties, and it seeks to provide parity of funding at inquests and other inquiries for victims and their relatives. Mr Burnham pushed for the second Hillsborough Inquiry, which revealed the extent of evidence-tampering and led to a new inquest finding that the victims of the disaster had been unlawfully killed. That is followed be detailed report stage debate on the Pension Schemes Bill, a relatively uncontroversial measure which focuses on master trust occupational pension schemes, and then its third reading. In Westminster Hall, MPs debates include schools funding in London (10.30am -11am); the All Party Group report Impact of Health and Social Care Act on HIV treatment (2.30pm-4pm), and finally the Conservative Kelly Tolhurst leads a debate (4.30pm-5.30pm) on the need for a "Breathing Space" scheme to help families in debt - this follows from her private member's bill which aimed to create a statutory breathing space of up to a year (more usually six months) in which families which run into trouble can have their interest payments frozen, and where bailiffs would not be sent in. This would take the pressure off and allow their debt to be restructured with a debt advisor. The plan is modelled on the DAS Scheme in Scotland, which has reduced bankruptcy there: the creditors still get their money but the collateral damage is much reduced. She believes this plan fits into the prime minister's agenda to help struggling families. My committee pick is the Education and Health hearing on children's mental health (9.30am). Witnesses include Natasha Devon, former government mental health champion and founder of Self-Esteem Team, and Ministers Edward Timpson and Nicola Blackwood. The committees will also hear from Lord Layard, who is advising the government over its trial of weekly mindfulness classes in schools. In the Lords (3pm) watch out for a question from the Lib Dems former election supremo Lord Rennard on reviewing legislation concerning spending rules in elections and referendums - he will raise the issue of alleged lack of clarity in what is national and what is local spending and how the principles of the 1883 legislation to prevent buying of constituencies has been effectively overturned. There's a bit of light legislating to do: the third reading of the Digital Economy Bill - followed by a motion to approve the Horserace Betting Levy Regulations 2017. But the main event will be Labour's two motions on the process of Brexit: first their Brexit spokesperson Baroness Hayter wants a report by the end of this session on the progress made towards ensuring that qualifying non-UK European Economic Area nationals and their family members are able to retain their fundamental EU-derived rights after the UK has left the EU. Then the Labour leader Baroness Smith of Basildon will propose the creation of a Joint Committee of Lords and Commons to consider and report on the "terms and options for any votes in Parliament on the outcome of the negotiations on the UK's withdrawal from the EU, including how any such votes be taken before any agreement is considered by the European Parliament; and that the Joint Committee do report by 31 October 2017." (See my earlier blog on this). The Commons gathers (9.30am) for Transport questions, after which the Leader of the House, David Lidington will set out the Commons agenda when MPs return after Easter. Two debates chosen by the Backbench Business Committee follow, the first is on animal welfare, where Neil Parish, the Conservative Chair of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee will lead, dealing with their report on the welfare of domestic pets. A particular concern is conditions on puppy farms. Then MPs have their traditional end of term debate when MPs can raise any subject they choose. The final event of the day will be an adjournment debate on the affordability of sanitary products - led by the Labour MP Paula Sherriff, who has successfully campaigned against VAT on them. In Westminster Hall (from 1.30pm) there's a backbench debate on the future of local and regional news providers. In the Lords (3pm), there's a blizzard of orders and regulations to be voted on - followed by a short debate on reviewing the role of the Lord Speaker, led by Labour's Lord Grocott, who wants to end the situation where the government Front Bench, usually the Leader of the House or the chief whip, decides which peer should speak next. Peers are very reluctant to see their Lord Speaker - a post only created in 2006 - evolve into a Commons-style Speaker, bellowing Order! Order! at the House, but there has been an increasing problem with competing peers vying for the floor and trying to speak over one another. Neither House sits on Friday - MPs will return after their Easter Break on Tuesday 18 April. Peers won't break for Easter until Friday 7 April. The Swede, who has "been in bed with flu for three days" said he had "only a five per cent chance of playing" after pulling out of Tuesday's pro-am. Stenson leads with South African Jaco van Zyl after both had bogey-free 66s. Defending champion Danny Willett of England is third after having five birdies and no bogeys in his 67. Willett, who finished second to Rory McIlroy in the Race to Dubai, said: "I don't think he (Stenson) can be ill. He played brilliantly. "You've got to think that if you can stay close to him over the next few days you'll be doing well. Not too close though, he can keep his virus away!" However, Stenson, who had all six of his birdies in his opening 10 holes, said: "From the 14th onwards my legs were like jelly and it was a real struggle. "I completely ran out of energy. I missed a couple of chances coming in, but I would've taken one under standing on the first tee." South Africa's Branden Grace and Open runner-up Marc Leishman are two shots off the pace in the 30-man event on four under, while last year's runner-up Ross Fisher, his fellow Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick and Scotland's Russell Knox are on three under. Knox, who is making his first appearance as a full European Tour member and hoping to qualify for his first Ryder Cup appearance in 2016, said: "The number one reason I'm here is because I've had a great season, so it's nice to reward myself. "It's a huge bonus and I'm not going to stress out." Lancashire Police apologised to the man after the October 2012 incident. The man's solicitor said the settlement was undisclosed. The victim's identity is protected by a court order. The man brought a claim for false imprisonment, assault and battery and breach of the Human Rights Act 1998 against Lancashire Constabulary. He has described being Tasered as feeling like "grabbing an electricity pylon". The man said he had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and had been left "very nervous". An investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission said the police officer who shot him had "used a level of force that was unnecessary and disproportionate". Following a disciplinary hearing in 2014, the officer was told to apologise to the man in person and was given a "performance-improvement notice". Knight was shot in the leg by an unknown gunman at Miami's Shore Club where West was holding a pre-MTV Awards celebration. At least six shots were fired, but few witnesses came forward and no-one has been ever arrested over what happened. Celebrities like Jessica Alba and the Black Eyed Peas were all at the event. Marion "Suge" Knight, a controversial figure in the hip hop community, helped launch the careers of rappers like Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. The 44-year-old is claiming that Kanye West and the club's owners didn't provide enough security to keep people with weapons out of the venue. Knight's lawyer, Marc Brumer, said: "He had an expectation of security there. How someone came with a gun into a very VIP party, that just doesn't meet the smell test in life." Knight is also seeking more than £650,000 in damages, which includes compensation for a 15-carat diamond earring he says was lost in the chaos. He also claims that he had to pay £130,000 in medical bills due to a shot that shattered his femur. Kanye West and the Shore Club's owners have denied the claims and a trial has been scheduled for 6 December in Miami. The former Death Row boss went bankrupt in 2006, so if he wins the case he'll have to share the payout with the tax man and his bankruptcy trustee. Temperatures could reach up to 27°C (80F) on Saturday, with warnings issued for high UV and pollen levels. Visitors to beaches in Rhyl have been given the all-clear to enter the sea after Friday's pollution incident. BBC Wales weather presenter Behnaz Akhgar said it would be a "lovely weekend if you like hot and sunny conditions". On Saturday maximum temperatures are forecast to reach up to 27°C in Monmouth, Welshpool and Wrexham, with some light winds. Sunday could be even warmer with temperatures expected to reach up to 28°C in parts of Wales. In Denbighshire the council has put up temporary signs advising visitors and residents not to swim or paddle in the sea off Rhyl. Parents are also being warned not to let their children play on beaches after bathing water was affected by a slurry leak. Fish and eels were killed after slurry from a farm leaked into the Afon Bach in Tremeirchion The council has also warned dogs should not go in the sea during the temporary closure.. The authority said it would continue to monitor the water and once it had returned to an "acceptable standard" access to beaches would return to normal. The accord on four zones was reached at Thursday's talks in Kazakhstan between Russia and Iran which back Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Turkey, which supports Syrian rebel groups, agreed to act as a guarantor. Moscow says the US, the UN and Saudi Arabia also support the idea. But the main Syrian opposition grouping says it has little faith in the deal. In a statement, the High Negotiations Committee (HNC), said the plan lacked "safeguards and compliance mechanisms". The HNC also said it did not accept Iran as a guarantor of the deal. It is unclear whether any of the rebels will abide by the ceasefire. Speaking at a news briefing in Moscow earlier on Friday, Russian Deputy Defence Minister Alexander Fomin said attacks by all sides in the "de-escalation" zones should halt from midnight (21:00 GMT). The objective is also to "provide the conditions for the safe, voluntary return of refugees" in addition to the speedy provision of relief supplies and medical aid. The safe zones will remain in place for six months, the Kremlin has said. Under the plan, the four zones will be established in: Mr Fomin said that there had been no bombing raids by Russian aviation in the four zones since 1 May. But he stressed that Russia's air force would continue striking so-called Islamic State (IS) elsewhere in Syria. The US also expressed concern over Iran, saying the country had "only contributed to the violence, not stopped it". The Syrian government is not a signatory, but its state news agency has said it supports the plan. The talks were meant to shore up an oft-violated ceasefire which was originally agreed in December. A partial cessation of hostilities was declared at the end of last year, but violence has continued on several fronts. Syria's war has claimed more than 300,000 lives since it erupted in 2011. It is not clear who was responsible. The attack took place in Saraqeb in Idlib province, near where a Russian military transport helicopter was shot down by rebels hours earlier. About 30 people, mostly women and children, have been affected. Chlorine gas can cause victims to become short of breath and to foam blood from the mouth. The government and some rebel groups have been accused of, and denied, using chemical agents. A Russian military helicopter was shot down near Saraqeb on Monday, killing five crew. It is not clear who brought it down. It was the biggest single loss of life suffered by Russian troops since they entered the conflict in Syria last year, on the side of President Bashar al-Assad. Dr Abdel Aziz Bareeh, who works in Saraqeb, told the BBC that two barrels of chlorine gas were dropped on the town late on Monday. "We know it's chlorine because we were hit by it in the past and we are familiar with its odour and symptoms. "We have 28 confirmed cases, mostly women and children." Separately, a spokesman for Syria Civil Defence told Reuters that 33 people had been affected in the attack. The organisation of volunteer rescue workers said it suspected the barrels contained chlorine but was unable to confirm it. Chlorine is a common industrial chemical, but its use in weapons is banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention. In 2013, the BBC found strong evidence suggesting residents of Saraqeb were subject to a chemical attack by government helicopters, something denied by the Syrian authorities. Separately, clashes are continuing near Aleppo, where rebels have launched an offensive to break a government siege. President-elect Donald Trump is set to nominate the former four-star general to head the agency, which oversees border security, US media reported. Mr Kelly, 66, retired in January after leading the military's Southern Command, which is responsible for Latin America and the Caribbean. He would become the third ex-general to join Mr Trump's administration. The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for enforcing US immigration laws, which Mr Trump has vowed to make a priority in his presidency. The department, which was created in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, also oversees a broad range of agencies including the Coast Guard, Secret Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema). Three other Trump appointments surfaced on Wednesday: Mr Kelly, who stepped down after a 45-year military career, is the highest-ranking military officer to lose a child in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His son Robert, a first lieutenant in the Marines, was killed in combat when he stepped on a landmine in Afghanistan in 2010. In 2003, Mr Kelly became the first Marine colonel since 1951 to be promoted to brigadier general while in active combat in Iraq. The seasoned commander has publicly clashed with the Obama administration on several issues, including its attempt to close the detention centre at Guantanamo Bay as well as illegal immigration on the US-Mexico Border - a sentiment he shares with the president-elect. Cracking down on illegal immigration and building a wall along the US-Mexico border were the cornerstone policies of Mr Trump's campaign. The president-elect, who has no military experience, has named Lieutenant General Michael Flynn as his national security adviser and retired General James Mattis as his Defence Secretary. Mr Trump is also considering retired General David Petraeus for the secretary of state post. The Republican-controlled Senate must confirm Mr Kelly for the Homeland Security position. Lauren Scott, 20, from Exeter, died on a farm near Dawlish, in Devon, on Saturday afternoon. Miss Scott, who loved horses, worked at Newton Abbot Racecourse where staff said they were "devastated" by the news. The Health and Safety Executive is investigating the incident. More on the farm accident, and other Devon and Cornwall news Paying tribute, the managing director of Newton Abbot Racecourse, Pat Masterson said: "Lauren was an absolutely wonderful person. "Dedicated to horses and the love of racing. "She'll be sorely missed, but as much as we are devastated by it our thoughts and prayers are with her family." Miss Scott's school friend and former X Factor singer Luke Friend posted a tribute on Facebook. He said she was "such a wonderful and bubbly person at school" and was "so supportive with whatever passion people wanted to accomplish in their lives". The emergency services were called to the farm near Dawlish at 13:35 GMT on Saturday following the accident, Miss Scott was taken to hospital, but could not be saved. Investigations are continuing into the cause of the accident. A review of child protection systems across the country has been called for by the Commons' Communities and Local Government Committee. Its report also said Rotherham Council and Ofsted had "failed" the victims targeted in the town. It suggested the council's protection policies were "divorced from reality", enabling the abuse to continue. MPs said all councils across England now needed to review child protection policies. Their report said: "On the evidence we took, the alarming conclusion is that Rotherham was not an outlier and that there is a widespread problem of organised child sexual exploitation in England." The MPs inquiry was prompted by a report by Prof Alexis Jay, which revealed up to 1,400 children were estimated to have been victims of abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013. Ofsted, which carried out a series of inspections during the period, said it had introduced a "more rigorous inspection framework". Rotherham abuse scandal: Key dates 26 August: Professor Jay's report is published. Rotherham Council leader Roger Stone steps down with immediate effect. 2 September: South Yorkshire Police commissions independent investigation into its handling of the Rotherham child abuse scandal. 8 September: Martin Kimber, chief executive of Rotherham Council, announces he will leave his post in December. 16 September: South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright (pictured) resigns. 19 September: Joyce Thacker, head of children's services at Rotherham Council, resigns. 18 October: Home Affairs Select Committee calls for investigation into allegations files relating to the abuse scandal went missing. Rotherham abuse victims tell their stories Read profiles of those in charge during the scandal In the immediate wake of the report, published on 26 August, the council's then leader Roger Stone stood down. South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright, who was in charge of children's services in Rotherham from 2005 to 2010, resisted calls to quit until he too resigned on 16 September. Joyce Thacker, head of children's services when the report was published, then stood down on 19 September. The MPs' report investigates the lessons for local government that have been recommended in the wake of Prof Jay's investigation. Labour MP Clive Betts, chairman of the committee, said Ofsted would be called before the MPs to answer "serious questions" about its inspections. "Repeated Ofsted inspections in Rotherham failed to lift the lid on the council's shameful inability to tackle child sexual exploitation," said Mr Betts. The MPs also criticised the town's councillors for their lack of effective scrutiny and challenging of council officers. The report said the authority had many child protection policies but they were "divorced from reality". The parliamentary committee called for an investigation into missing files at the council and said council officials "should be held accountable for their actions." "Arrangements should be put in place to bring to account not just council officers still in post but those who have moved on from an authority before serious questions about their performance emerge, " said Mr Betts. In a statement, Ofsted said it welcomed "the opportunity to give evidence to the committee". "In common with a number of organisations, we accept that past inspections may not have given child sexual exploitation the forensic focus it needed and deserved," it said. Rotherham Council leader Paul Lakin has welcomed the report and said an internal inquiry into the missing files had begun but the council planned to bring in an external audit team to complete the task. He said: "Our ways of doing business are now more open and transparent and accountable than before. "We are putting in place a new, high quality management and leadership team with the ability and capacity to secure real improvement. "We have opened up our full council and cabinet meetings with webcasting, and backbench councillors are bringing forward plans to increase public participation in meetings. "We will be looking again to ensure that our scrutiny function - which also now has new political leadership - is as effective as possible." Third seed Murray went down 6-4 6-3 6-2 in two hours and 15 minutes to ensure he will not repeat last year's victory at Flushing Meadows. The Briton, who won his second major title at Wimbledon two months ago, had reached the final at his last four Grand Slam tournaments. "I don't know if I'm meant to win every Grand Slam I play or be in the final," said Murray, 26. "It's just very, very difficult just now. With the guys around us, it's very challenging. "I have played my best tennis in the Slams the last two, three years. I lost today in straight sets, so that's disappointing. I would have liked to have gone further but I can't complain. "If someone told me before the US Open last year I would have been here as defending champion, having won Wimbledon and Olympic gold, I would have taken that 100%. "So I'm disappointed, but the year as a whole has been a good one." Murray admitted there had been something of a comedown after the high of winning Wimbledon, but insisted he had been focused and well prepared in New York. "When you work hard for something for a lot of years, it's going to take a bit of time to really fire yourself up and get yourself training 110%," said the Scot. Media playback is not supported on this device "That's something that I think is kind of natural after what happened at Wimbledon. "But I have been here nearly three weeks now. I practised a lot, and played quite a lot of matches as well, so I gave myself a chance to do well because I prepared properly." The world number three struggled to get going at Flushing Meadows this year, and an unusual schedule and variable weather did not help. "You guys can see for yourself how the schedule worked out," said Murray, who had to wait until the night session on day three to play his first-round match. "When you play the first round over three days, it's tough." Murray's next event is Great Britain's Davis Cup tie in Croatia from 13-15 September, which will involve a change of surface. "I need to take a few days' rest and then get practising on the clay courts and hopefully we can win the match," he said. Ninth seed Wawrinka is through to his first Grand Slam semi-final and said he was most proud of being able to handle the pressure. "Normally I can be a little bit nervous and I can lose a few games because of that, but today I was just focused on my game," said the 28-year-old from Switzerland. "It was really windy, not easy conditions, but my plan was to push him to be aggressive because I know that Andy can be a little bit too defensive. "I like it when he's far back from the baseline and today I did it well." Wawrinka added that compatriot and five-time US Open champion Roger Federer had texted him after the match, saying: "He told me congrats, that's for sure." He was previously the tournament director of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. He will replace Stacey Allaster, who said last month that she was standing down after six years in charge. Mr Simon will begin his duties immediately as he winds down at Indian Wells, and should be full-time in the new job by 30 November. "Steve Simon, with his successful career leading one of tennis' most prestigious tournaments, is the perfect person to run the WTA," the WTA board said. The appointment was backed by WTA founder Billie Jean King, and supported by players Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki. The Championship side say "talks are ongoing to conclude the deal" for the 27-year-old Scot, who joined Konyaspor on a three-and-a-half-year deal from Polish side Lech Poznan last year. Douglas began his career in his native Scotland with Queen's Park, before moving to Dundee United in 2010. The Glasgow-born left-back has never been capped at international level.

Children from four schools have unveiled colourful new public art dedicated to the poets in the centre of Ballymoney, County Antrim. Seamus Heaney's brother, Hugh Heaney, attended the unveiling. The works were created by pupils from Balnamore Primary School, Landhead Primary School, Cloughmills Primary School and Our Lady of Lourdes. Mr Heaney said he wished his brother could have been at the display to see the children's creations. "He'll be four years dead this year, but he's still alive so he is, and will be," he said. "Seamus would have loved it. He would have been here in the middle of everybody like the rest of us, enjoying it and going for a cup of tea." Many of the young artists involved were learning about Heaney and Hewitt for the first time. The man behind the project is artist Ross Wilson, who was a friend of Seamus Heaney. "He probably would have been slightly embarrassed but would have liked it," Mr Wilson said of the poet. "Seamus was a great poet, a Nobel prize winner, a man of letters but in many ways, a shy and humble man. "But he had a great ability and talent that will last for generations - that's his legacy and these artworks are part of that legacy as well." The annual inflation rate rose to 0.3%, up from 0% in April, the EU's statistics agency Eurostat. said. The return of inflation is likely to be welcomed by the European Central Bank (ECB), which has sought to avoid deflation in recent months. Prices of services rose 1.3%, while food and drink prices were up 1.2%. Energy prices fell at a slower pace. They were down 5% in May from a year earlier, compared with an annual fall of 5.8% seen in April. The core inflation rate, which strips out volatile items such as food, energy and tobacco, was up 0.9% in the year to May from April's 0.6%. In March, the ECB began a massive €1.1 trillion bond buying programme in an attempt to stimulate the eurozone economy. The latest inflation figure will raise hopes that the programme is working. Policymakers spent much of last year in fear of deflation. The worry is that if price falls become entrenched, consumers and businesses will delay purchases and investment in the expectation that prices will fall further. Consumer inflation has not been at the ECB's target level of close to, but below, 2% since the start of 2013, and has been falling since hitting 3% in late 2011. "This increase was stronger than widely expected, even if inflation is hardly racing ahead," said Howard Archer, chief European economist at IHS Global Insight. "Renewed dips into deflation for the eurozone are looking increasingly unlikely with the risks diluted by a firming in oil prices from their January lows, the weakness of the euro and improved eurozone economic activity." Davies, 52, is without a win on the LPGA Tour since 2001 but was in a share of the lead after the first round. Four second-round bogeys dropped the Englishwoman off the pace set by defending champion Lexi Thompson, who is at 10 under par after a 67. The American leads by a stroke from a group of four players, with England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff at eight under.

The 22-year-old came off the bench to score the winner in Tuesday's pre-season friendly against Doncaster. "I tried to sign him for Crawley last year when he went to Yeovil and I tried getting him a couple of months ago," Evans told BBC Radio Sheffield. The former Everton player scored six goals in 29 league appearances for the Glovers last season. "Last season he scored nearly one goal in every two matches he started. He is hungry and is excited about the direction in which Rotherham is heading," Evans told the club website. The former Arsenal academy product will go into the Millers' squad for their friendly against Hearts on Saturday. Agard's goal against Rovers on Tuesday means Rotherham have now won all four of their pre-season fixtures so far this summer, including their first two games in their new home, the New York Stadium. Media playback is not supported on this device The Bully Wee's chances of progressing to a fifth-round tie away to Ayr United looked slim when Blair Henderson scored an early penalty for the Binos. But Gormley levelled with a 20-yard beauty, tapped in a second and smashed a third into the roof of the net. Clyde goalkeeper John Gibson was sent off after conceding a second penalty late on, which Henderson scored. It led to a frantic ending with a few goalmouth scrambles that almost brought a Stirling equaliser, but Gormley's haul proved enough. It was a 35-minute hat-trick for the striker who is now up to nine goals this season, he nearly added a fourth but for a good save by Stirling's Chris Smith early in the second half. Albion got their penalty when Gibson felled Liam Caddis and it was calmly despatched by Henderson for his ninth of the campaign, with the keeper booked. Stirling are managed by 2014 Scottish Cup winner Dave Mackay, whose team-mate at St Johnstone that day, Frazer Wright, is now at the heart of the Binos' defence. He could do nothing about the lethal right-footed strike by Gormley that went in off the underside of the bar to equalise. The former Ayr striker's second was completely the opposite, being in the right place to finish off Peter MacDonald's effort that came off the inside of the post and trickled along the line. MacDonald also created Gormley's third, finding the forward who then faked a left-foot shot before turning on to his right and smashing high into the net. Gibson received a second yellow for bringing down Darren Smith, which allowed Henderson to score another from the spot. Clyde manager Barry Ferguson: "Just getting the win was the important thing. I thought we were magnificent in the first half. We thoroughly deserve to go through. "I'm delighted for [David Gormley]. He was different class. He was great. Everybody, to a man, they were great. "They [Ayr] are a Championship team. They'll be overwhelming favourites. We'll go down and have a go at them." Match ends, Clyde 3, Stirling Albion 2. Second Half ends, Clyde 3, Stirling Albion 2.

The first episode, which was broadcast on Fox in the US on Sunday, reunites Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully and David Duchovny as Fox Mulder after they were last seen on TV in 2002. The pair are again embroiled in an investigation of alien abduction. Critics were curious to see a return, but concluded it was "underwhelming" or "generous to its fanbase". The new six-part series, which will run in the US before being shown in the UK on Channel 5 next month, has been written by the original show's creator, Chris Carter, who reunites the investigators of the paranormal in a familiar tale of UFOs and government conspiracy theories. Dominic Patten of Deadline seemed largely to come away happy, saying what had been dubbed as an "event series" after an absence of 14 years, planted "a flag in America 2016 even as it wonderfully resurrects much of what made it such pivotal TV back during Bill Clinton's presidency". He added: "Strikingly serious and silly at the same time, the six episodes are actually a lot like the original X-Files - you either go with it or you don't. And if you want to believe (to paraphrase the poster Duchovy's Fox Mulder had up in the duo's FBI HQ basement office in the original series), this X-Files is well worth opening up." But Ken Tucker, TV critic from Yahoo, was lukewarm saying: "The new X-Files hour is fine for what it is, but it lacks the kick of minty-freshness, in favour of the musty tang of mythology. It's a mythology excavated and renovated to do 2016 work its mostly 20th Century original apparatus wasn't designed to sustain." Tucker generally lamented the show's return, saying it was a casualty of a modern-day obsession with nostalgia. "Why can't we leave well enough alone, re-watch the episodes we love and let the phenomenon rest? Because nostalgia is powerful; it summons up rich emotions and memories, but it's not often the fuel for vital creativity," he said. "'We've moved on with our lives', Scully says early on in the hour. Perhaps the audience for the new episodes will end up feeling the same." It is a view shared by Tim Goodman of the Hollywood Reporter, who was given a preview earlier this month: "Why the need to revisit this show now? Nostalgia? "What we're left with is a very underwhelming hour that will force even die hard fans (and yes, I was one of them) to consider whether pushing onward is really worth the time." Jonathan Bernstein in The Daily Telegraph agreed that racking up old TV ground was a debatable choice by Fox, and maybe not the wisest. "Reminding audiences of decades-old disappointment probably wasn't the sort of nostalgia that was intended when the notion of reviving The X-Files as a 'six hour-event' was conceived, but, sadly, that's the impression left by this first episode." However, what most seemed able to agree on was the onscreen partnership of Anderson and Duchovny holding the same charisma that contributed much to the original show's success. "On a positive note, the years have not lessened the chemistry between David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson," Bernstein said. The second show of the series is set to go out on Fox on Monday night, but after the first episode the overall split conclusion was summed up by Jeff Jenson of Entertainment Weekly. "Revivals, reboots, and retreads of pop phenoms rarely pulse with the magic of their original incarnation at their original moment," he said. "I want to believe The X-Files can be the rare example of pop recycling that succeeds by being something other than blast-from-the-past nostalgia, producing punch-drunk love giddiness. "A return to transcendence? Too much to ask. Above-average artfulness? That's a reasonable expectation... It's possible that four weeks from now, we might be saying that this mini-series succeeded more than it failed." Ruth Davidson currently represents Glasgow as a list MSP. Ms Davidson was born in Edinburgh and went to university in the city. She has recently moved home to the capital. In a letter to party members in Glasgow, she said her duties as party leader required her to spend an increasing amount of time in Edinburgh. She said that standing in the Lothians would maximise the time she would be able to devote to her duties in the capital. The Scottish Conservative said Ms Davidson would now go through the same process as other prospective MSP candidates seeking to contest a seat in the capital and find a place on the Lothians list. Ms Davidson, who only became an MSP in 2011, said: "It has been an enormous privilege to serve as an MSP in Glasgow over the last four years. "My role as an MSP in Glasgow has allowed me to help hundreds of constituents, visit scores of businesses, charities and schools and play a large part in the civic life of the city. "For the elections next year, I will be putting my name forward to stand as a candidate in the Lothians region." Ruth Davidson has been an MSP on the Glasgow regional list for four years, but instead of seeking re-election in the city, she's decided to try her hand on the political scene over in Edinburgh. Ms Davidson says she has a lifelong connection to the city - having been born in the capital and studied there - but it's not quite as simple as that. Voters have historically returned a Tory MSP on the Glasgow list through PR voting, so the Conservatives are hoping they'll have that in the bag for the 2016 Holyrood election, with a new candidate. Meanwhile, Ms Davidson wants to stand for election on the Lothian regional list - and in an Edinburgh first-past-the-post constituency - in the hope her profile as Scottish Conservative leader will win her party an additional seat. But the big challenge the Conservatives face - along with the other opposition parties - is losing more ground to the SNP, especially given its victory in the Westminster election. Ruth Davidson says she'll now go through the same selection process as everyone else who wants to stand as a Conservative candidate in Edinburgh - although in her case, that's likely to be more of a formality. Harrison was found near a bridle-path close to Daventry International Rail Freight Depot and Crick. He was with four boys when it happened at 17:20 BST on Tuesday. One of the group also had to be taken to hospital but was uninjured. Harrison, who lived in the area, was pronounced dead at the scene. More news from Northamptonshire Police said the Guilsborough School pupil came into contact with electricity from an overhead line. Supt Chris Hodgkiss, from British Transport Police, said: "Our thoughts are with the family of the boy and we are doing all we can to understand exactly what led to Harrison's death. "As well as investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, our focus is also on preventing any other children from coming to harm in a similar way. "With that in mind, I would urge all parents to remind their children about the dangers of trespassing on the railway, which is an extremely dangerous environment." Assistant Chief Constable Robin Smith, of the British Transport Police, said: "It's a deeply tragic incident when a young person dies on the railway. "We recognise that trespass is an issue on the railway and there is an attraction to young people to go near the railway, and if we can learn anything from this it is how dangerous it is. "We have our own unit to understand where our hot spots are, but the best thing we can do is prevent it happening. A lot of fencing is already going up, but it would have to be very long and expensive to fence every route. "The real answer, given the tragic events, is that parents and schools do their best to reinforce that message [of the dangers]." The baby's mother, who was pregnant with a second child, died of petrol burns when an overcrowded migrant boat capsized in the Mediterranean. Five bodies were found at the scene. Dr Pietro Bartolo gave the baby first aid on the island of Lampedusa. A photo of him with the baby, called Favour, has gone viral in Italy. Favour and dozens of other survivors will be transferred by boat from Lampedusa to Sicily. She will be taken in by a child care centre before being looked after by an Italian family. Dr Bartolo earlier told Italian media that he himself had asked to adopt Favour. But as a 60-year-old with three other children he admitted that he was unlikely to get custody. "I want to keep her with me forever," he said. "She is a marvellous creature, she hugged me, she didn't shed a tear." Dr Bartolo said his clinic on Lampedusa had been bombarded with phone calls from Italians touched by Favour's story and offering to adopt her. Favour was given warm clothes, milk, biscuits and ointment at the clinic. She had come ashore in the arms of a young Nigerian woman, who was one of many survivors with serious burns, apparently caused by a petrol leak from the boat's engine. The migrants, mainly from Nigeria and Mali, had sailed from Libya, like many other Africans fleeing the violence and human rights abuses there. Their boat tipped over when migrants rushed to one side after spotting a rescue vessel. On Wednesday, Italian Navy rescuers pulled 562 survivors from the sea in a separate incident. The survivors were also taken to Lampedusa, a tiny island near the North African coast that has been overwhelmed by boatloads of migrants in recent years. Aid agencies say the sea crossing between Libya and Italy has become the main route for migrants since an EU deal with Turkey in March sharply reduced the flow of migrants across the Aegean to Greece. Up to 30 people were feared dead when another boat capsized off the Libyan coast on Thursday. Some 38,000 migrants have arrived on Italian territory since the start of the year, and 5,700 have been unaccompanied minors. The number of arrivals is slightly down on the same period last year. The Channel Tunnel operator tweeted that the shuttle had been stopped following the incident on the French side at about 05:00 BST. The death comes days after about 150 migrants tried to storm the Channel Tunnel terminal in France. Passenger services have now returned to normal following earlier delays, Eurotunnel has confirmed. John Keef from Eurotunnel said: "Migrants were seen onboard a truck shuttle approaching the tunnel at about half-past-five this morning. "We brought the shuttle to a controlled stop [and] cut the electrical power overhead. "Police conducted a search at the end of which they found a migrant dead from injuries sustained probably from trying to jump on to the shuttle." It is the second migrant fatality in as many weeks following the reported death of an Eritrean while trying to get on a train at Coquelles last month. Operation Stack, where lorries are parked on the M20 and non-freight traffic diverted off the motorway, was re-introduced from 13:00 BST according to Kent Police. Kent Police said the M20 was closed between junctions eight and 11 coastbound for non-freight traffic to allow lorries to be parked on the carriageway. At 19:00 BST, Eurotunnel confirmed it was operating a normal timetable in both directions, with five departures per hour for freight traffic. The Freight Transport Association has written to David Cameron saying urgent action was need to tackle chaos at Calais. Chief Executive David Wells said the situation at the French port was "deplorable" and "spiralling out of control". "We have been calling on both the British and French governments to intervene for some time, and are now asking the prime minister to give the matter his urgent priority, and to implement plans to alleviate the crisis," he said. He added the cost of the disruption was running into "hundreds of millions of pounds each week". Damian Green, the Conservative MP for Ashford and former immigration minister, said Calais was "the problem". "[Migrants] should not be allowed anywhere near the trains or the tracks or the trucks," he said. "That's a policing matter for the French authorities. All we can do is urge them to perform that policing function better." Several families spent Saturday night in emergency accommodation after a box containing a suspect device was found in Danford Close, Oldswinford. Specialist officers found the package "to be non-explosive". A 100m (328ft) cordon was lifted earlier. The man, 25 and from Stourbridge, remains in custody, police said. He was arrested in Staffordshire. The package was found shortly before 13:00 BST on Saturday. The British Medical Association (BMA) and the government are to begin two days of talks at 10:00 GMT, the conciliation service Acas said. The dispute is over weekend pay, career progression, and fears of overworking. A 48-hour walkout will start on 26 January if no agreement is found. Junior doctors returned to work at 08:00 GMT on Wednesday following the end of their first 24-hour walkout, which led to the cancellation of about 3,300 operations. Two further strikes are planned, the second of which - on 10 February - would involve a refusal to take part in emergency care. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt condemned the first strike as "wholly unnecessary". Junior doctors' dispute: What next? What is the junior doctors row about? Ministers argue the government's new contract will improve patient care at the weekend, but the doctors' union says the impact on safety would be unacceptable. BMA council chairman Dr Mark Porter said there was "not just one remaining issue" regarding disagreement over weekend pay. He said: "There are some serious issues about patient safety and recognition of junior doctors' contributions that need to be sorted here." The government's new head negotiator, Sir David Dalton, pledged to "engage with the BMA team directly and listen to their outstanding concerns". However, Norman Smith, the BBC's assistant political editor, said government sources were "adamant" that if no deal was reached then its new contract would be "imposed" on junior doctors. "This could begin as early as the summer for new doctors joining the NHS and would then be rolled out among the existing 50,000 junior doctors," our correspondent said. What exactly do junior doctors do? How does your job compare? O'Dowda, 21, can play in midfield or attack and has scored 10 goals this season as he helped Oxford achieve promotion to League One.

Mr Rosling was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago and died in Uppsala, Sweden. He was known for lively presentations that used data and animation to explain global development in a compelling way. His Gapminder co-founders said that they would continue to fight for "his dream of a fact-based worldview". Mr Rosling was a professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute but decided to "drop out" in 2007 to dedicate his time to Gapminder, which allows users to create their own data visualisations. Hans Rosling: Five ways the world is doing better than you think The Joy of Stats: 200 countries, 200 years, 4 minutes He co-founded the foundation with his son Ola Rosling and daughter-in-law Anna Ronlund in 2005. In a statement announcing his death, they said the time he dedicated to Gapminder "made him a world-famous public educator, or Edutainer as he liked to call it". Hans Rosling became widely known after a talk he gave at a Technology, Media, Design (TED) conference in 2006 called "The best statistics you've never seen" was watched millions of times online. In it, he used animated bubble charts to show how developing countries were catching up in development indicators with the West, presenting in the style of a sports commentator. Mr Rosling presented Don't Panic: The Truth About Population on BBC2 in 2013, which included a demonstration of how British university graduates would be outperformed by chimpanzees in a test of knowledge about developing countries. He enjoyed debunking myths about the changing world, including fears of massive overpopulation due to decreasing child mortality. "I've watched people have this 'aha' moment when Hans speaks," Melinda Gates of the Gates Foundation told the journal Nature last year. "He breaks these myths in such a gentle way. I adore him." Gapminder was set up to provide a view of the world different to that which most people would imagine from reading news headlines, its website says. Facts, Mr Rosling believed, could correct "global ignorance" about the reality of the world, which "has never been less bad". The Swedish professor was listed as one of Time's 100 Most Influential People globally in 2012 and gave advice to charity leaders, technology company executives and globe-trotting politicians like Al Gore.

Hans Rosling, a Swedish professor of global health and well-known public educator, has died aged 68, his Gapminder foundation has announced.

For a nation about to mark the centenary of the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman soldiers, it was both a diversion from a sombre anniversary and a chance to raise the profile of the event internationally. The final, high-profile moment of their visit did not involve sisters Kim and Khloe, but Kim Kardashian's husband and rapper Kanye West, who gave a concert in the capital Yerevan late on Sunday and jumped into a lake mobbed by fans. The free gig was the defining moment of the tour, for Richard Giragosian of the independent Regional Studies Center in Yerevan. "For a country like Armenia, with closed borders and lacking in diversity, this was an important opportunity for young Armenians to embrace an American rap star and for him to embrace them," he told the BBC. Armenian TV channels went as far as dubbing him "our nation's son-in-law". From the moment they arrived on 8 April, Kim and Khloe, Kim's husband Kanye West and their daughter North West were mobbed by fans and paparazzi, as they documented every step of their way on social media. The following day they were guests of Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, and immediately Kim Kardashian drew attention to the centenary of the mass killings in World War One on social media, writing #NeverForget on her Instagram account. Friday brought the most poignant moment of the trip, when the sisters laid flowers at Yerevan's genocide memorial on the outskirts of the capital. "What was surprising was that their visit alone did more in terms of international publicity and putting a spotlight on the centenary than the government could ever have done." says Mr Giragosian. "We have an influx of foreign visitors next week, so the fact the Kardashians came earlier resulted in doubling or even trebling international media coverage." Armenia says up to 1.5 million people lost their lives as the Ottoman Empire fell apart in 1915-16, although Turkey says the number was far fewer and rejects the term genocide. Thousands were massacred, while many other victims died of starvation and thirst when they were deported en masse to desert regions. Pope Francis, in the presence of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, angered Turkey on Sunday by speaking of the tragedy as "widely considered the first genocide of the 20th Century". The Yerkir website in Armenia praised both the Pope and the Kardashians for "doing the same job", in boosting efforts to have the killings recognised as genocide. The Kardashians, whose late father's family came from Armenia, are part of a large diaspora estimated at more than eight million, with big populations in Russia, the US and France. Armenian media were largely thrilled by the celebrity visit, with public TV devoting an eight-minute report to the visit, which included a trip to the family's ancestral home at Gyumri. But not everyone was impressed. Pro-opposition paper Zhamanak complained that every issue in Armenia was being viewed through the prism of the Kardashians. But while Armenia is set to return to normality, the Kardashians' trip is not yet over. The next destination to witness their inimitable style is Israel.

Reality TV show sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian and their entourage have left Armenia, but not before creating quite a splash.

The BCB XI were all out for 294 while England were 2-0 at stumps in Chittagong. Abdul Mazid hit an impressive century for the hosts before he was bowled by Stuart Broad. Leg-spinner Adil Rashid and seamer Jake Ball were rested for the tourists. Captain Alastair Cook missed the game after flying back to England to attend the birth of his second child. He is expected to return before the opening day of the first Test, which starts on 20 October in Chittagong. "The amount of cricket that Cooky's played in the subcontinent, I think he'll fit back in seamlessly," said England fast bowler Steven Finn. "I think you'd be a bit worried if it was someone who was less experienced, I suppose, and hadn't experienced these conditions before and spent time in the middle because that's important." Meanwhile, Bangladesh have named their 14-man squad for the first Test with four uncapped players included. Middle-order batsman Sabbir Rahman and wicketkeeper-batsman Nurul Hasan have been included, along with off-spinning all-rounder Mehedi Hasan and pace bowler Kamrul Islam. Bangladesh squad for first Test versus England: Mushfiqur Rahim (captain), Tamim Iqbal (vice-captain), Soumya Sarker, Imrul Kayes, Mominul Haque, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Shuvagata Hom, Sabbir Rahman, Mehedi Hasan, Shafiul Islam, Taijul Islam, Kamrul Islam Rabbi, Nurul Hasan.

England left-arm spinner Zafar Ansari staked his claim for a Test place by taking four wickets on the first day of their two-day warm-up match against a Bangladesh Cricket Board XI on Sunday.

Roy Whiting, 52, was injured in the eye during the assault at Wakefield Prison, in West Yorkshire, on Friday morning. The Ministry of Justice confirmed an attack took place but said it would not discuss specific cases. In a statement, the MoJ said the prisoner was treated in the prison's healthcare wing. "HMP Wakefield manages violent and dangerous prisoners every day and events such as this are rare," it said. "The bravery and speedy response of staff ensured that this incident was dealt with swiftly and effectively." A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police confirmed officers were called to an incident involving two prisoners at the jail, at about 0839 BST. "We were contacted by prison staff who informed us there had been a fight between two prisoners," he said. "One of the inmates received injuries but they are not thought to be life threatening." Police said the injured inmate received treatment at the prison, before staff took him to Pinderfields General Hospital in Wakefield for further care. A force spokesman said no criminal complaints had been made by the injured person, so the incident was not being investigated. "There was no criminal allegation of assault made to the police so we will not be investigating," he said. Whiting, a convicted sex offender, was sentenced to life in prison in 2001 for the murder of Sarah Payne, who disappeared while playing near her grandparents' home in Kingston Gorse, West Sussex, in July 2000. Her body was found in nearby Pulborough 17 days later. In 2002, Whiting was attacked with a razor blade by fellow Wakefield inmate Rickie Tregaskis. Last year, a High Court judge reduced Whiting's minimum jail term of 50 years by 10 years.

The man convicted of murdering eight-year-old Sarah Payne in West Sussex has been attacked by a fellow inmate in prison, according to sources.

On a visit to the UK today to meet the chancellor and the foreign secretary to discuss trade, Arun Jaitley said there was "great enthusiasm" for a deal. But he made it clear that any talks would have to run "in parallel" with current Indian negotiations with the European Union (EU). The EU and India launched free trade talks in 2007 but progress has been slow. I asked Mr Jaitley if he thought a trade deal with Britain would be easier than executing a trade deal with the 27 members of the EU. "Both will move [in] parallel," Mr Jaitley answered. "Both will move separately, each one will have its own dynamics and as far as the UK and India are concerned we are today at a stage where unless article 50 is invoked - and thereafter the Brexit negotiations are completed and the UK is eligible to negotiate agreements - there can be a formal dialogue and agreement only at that stage. "So there is a waiting period. But I do understand there is a great enthusiasm in both countries and in the governments of both countries to move forward," he added. India is central to the British government's plan to show that it can secure free trade deals with non-EU countries, particularly countries like India with strong historic ties, rapid growth and over a billion consumers. Theresa May visited the country last autumn, her first trip to a non-EU nation following the referendum result. But any expansion of trade with India, as my colleague, the BBC's South Asia correspondent Justin Rowlatt reported is not a given. Disputes over access for the UK financial services sector to the jealously guarded Indian market, as well as immigration between the two countries, are likely to be major sticking points. Mr Jaitley said the economic relationship between India and UK was "extremely important". "It works both ways, because the British invest a lot in India, Indians invest a lot in Britain," he said. "There is a huge amount of movement of persons as far as the two countries are concerned. "Both in manufacturing and in services I think there is already a relationship that exists, and therefore that is a relationship that will have to be carried forward and expanded further," he added. One of the most difficult issues between Britain and India has been immigration, with Indian business leaders and universities complaining that visa restrictions in the UK have limited the number of Indian immigrants coming to Britain. Although not directly linking the issue to free trade, Mr Jaitley said that Indian immigration has been economically beneficial to Britain. "We certainly would be putting forward a point of view on this," Mr Jaitley told me. "But historically, Indians move to Britain, both for education and for work, and have contributed a lot as far as the economy here is concerned. "Our students in particular that used to come to the United Kingdom have contributed to, if not subsidised, the education system here, and I think it is evident to everyone that this number numerically has been coming down, so it is a concern to us. "It should also be a concern to the United Kingdom," he warned. On domestic issues, Mr Jaitley said the abrupt withdrawal of high denomination rupee notes was the only avenue open to the government, despite the short-term chaos that ensued. He said there was "no other way" it could be done. "The shadow economy was extremely large, the ratio of high denomination currency was very high and consequently its impact on corruption, tax evasion, on fuelling other crimes like terror - these are all the vices that came up," said Mr Jaitley. "Therefore instead of giving an opportunity to the evaders to manage [the withdrawal] - because tax evasion creates an unfair advantage in favour of the evader as against the citizens of the country - it had to be done abruptly. "Obviously there was a temporary period of 10-15 days where there were long queues [at banks as Indians sort to deposit cash or convert the notes they held to new denominations]. "[But] the queues shortened and I think eventually this was, in terms of remonetisation, one of the smoothest exercises of currency replacement, hugely welcomed by the people because it was the right cause," the minister said. Cardinal Bergoglio - now Pope Francis - was not among those many had considered the frontrunners. At 76, he will be an older pontiff than many were expecting. It is also the first time in more than a millennium that the pope will hail from shores beyond Europe. Here in quotes is some of the reaction from figures around the world. On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I offer our warm wishes to His Holiness Pope Francis... As a champion of the poor and the most vulnerable among us, he carries forth the message of love and compassion that has inspired the world for more than 2,000 years - that in each other we see the face of God. As the first pope from the Americas, his selection also speaks to the strength and vitality of a region that is increasingly shaping our world, and alongside millions of Hispanic Americans, those of us in the United States share the joy of this historic day. Just as I appreciated our work with Pope Benedict XVI, I look forward to working with His Holiness to advance peace, security and dignity for our fellow human beings, regardless of their faith. I offer my heartfelt congratulations [to the new Pope]... I look forward to continuing co-operation between the United Nations and the Holy See, under the wise leadership of His Holiness Pope Francis. We share many common goals - from the promotion of peace, social justice and human rights, to the eradication of poverty and hunger - all core elements of sustainable development. I am certain that His Holiness will continue to build on the legacy of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, in the promotion of inter-faith dialogue which is at the heart of the Alliance of Civilisations initiative. We wish him, as he takes the reins of the Church, a fruitful pastoral mission, with such tremendous responsibility on his shoulders, seeking justice, equality, brotherhood and peace among mankind. Long live Francis I! We are extremely happy because our Lord has cast his eyes on Latin America, and we are extremely grateful to God for that because we have a Latin American pope. I am confident that the constructive partnership between Russia and the Vatican will continue, and will further develop on the basis of the Christian values that unite us. Your Holiness, I wish you good health, well-being and productive work in strengthening peace and in furthering dialogue between civilisations and religions. [I hope relations with the Vatican will continue] developing in a positive manner... [but the new Pope] never took an active part in the dialogue between Roman Catholic and Orthodox believers, so it's hard to make any predictions. We hope that under the leadership of the new Pope the Vatican will adopt a practical and flexible attitude and create conditions for the improvement of China-Vatican relations. We are hoping for better relations with the Vatican after the election of the new Pope. [Wishing the new Pope] a long and blessed pontificate... [urging him to bring the] world's people and religions closer together. A momentous day for the 1.2bn Catholics around the world as His Holiness Pope Francis I is appointed the 266th Bishop of Rome. We wish Pope Francis every blessing in the enormous responsibilities that he has assumed on behalf of Roman Catholics around the world. I look forward to meeting Pope Francis, and to walking and working together to build on the consistent legacy of our predecessors. May the love of Christ unite us, and intensify our service in a genuine and fruitful ecumenism that can be a blessing for the Body of Christ throughout the world. Pope Francis is well known as a compassionate pastor of real stature who has served the poor in Latin America, and whose simplicity and holiness of life is remarkable. The symbolism of choosing a pope from Latin America delights and touches us, most particularly in developing countries. A Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust report says the number of SIs rose from 161 in 2012-2013 to 228 in 2014-2015. The report says a significant number of these serious incidents involved unexpected deaths. The trust said staff felt free to report any possible problems. SIs can include a wide range of incidents and are reported to help health trusts learn lessons and prevent future incidents. The report highlighted five deaths within Wellbeing Services, which provides support for people with mental health problems such as depression, between December 2014 and March 2015 and these were being reviewed by the trust. Michael Scott, the chief executive of the trust, told the BBC: "The board looks closely at all the data, and we look at national benchmarks. We remain a high reporter of incidents, but the majority are 'low harm' incidents. "Staff do speak up and record incidents when things go wrong." A spokesman for the Campaign to Save Mental Health Services in Norfolk and Suffolk said: "Some of this rise may be due to changes in reporting, but an increase of more than 40% in only two years is deeply worrying." They said the world needed to move away from coal and into gas. Environmentalists say that gas is still a fossil fuel that emits CO2 that contributes to global warming. They would rather invest in increasing renewable energy capacity that is genuinely clean. Speaking at the World Gas Conference in Paris, under the strapline "Natural gas as a core pillar for the sustainable future of the planet," the heads of Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Shell said demand for gas would grow significantly. Rex Tillerson, chief executive of US energy giant Exxon Mobil, said "our industry can deliver significant environmental benefits". He pointed to the US, where a massive increase in shale gas production has been "instrumental in reducing CO2 and methane emissions back to 1990s levels", despite the economy growing by 60% and gas use rising significantly. He also called on other countries to redouble efforts to replicate the US shale gas revolution, particularly those in Europe. As yet, no other countries have been able to extract meaningful amounts of shale gas. Exxon has given up on its attempts to frack for gas in Poland, where Mr Tillerson said the technology that had proved so successful in the US did not work on local geology. The bosses also said that renewables alone could not meet rising demand for energy. John Watson, chief executive of Chevron, said global energy demand was set to rise by 40% by 2035. "The world is going to need all forms of energy to meet demand," he said. Natural gas was the perfect compliment to renewables, he added, as gas plants can be turned on and off relatively quickly and cheaply when wind and solar power do not produce enough energy. Shell chief Ben Van Beurden said that gas, rather than cheap and abundant coal, must be used to plug the gap left by any shortfalls in renewable energy production. Gas produced 60% less CO2 and 90% fewer air pollutants than coal, he said. "Gas is the ideal partner to renewables, and is the fastest and cheapest way to reduce emissions while [at the same time] having a reliable energy system," he said. He also called on governments to press for an effective carbon emissions trading system, where big polluters are forced to pay for emitting CO2. BP chief Bob Dudley also called for an effective price on carbon, saying it would help to develop both carbon capture and storage, and renewable, technologies. He also said that moving from coal to gas was a far more effective way to reduce CO2 emissions than increasing renewable energy production. "Gas is not part of the problem, but part of the solution," he said. Many environmentalists and renewable energy companies would disagree. "Although gas acts as a complementary technology to renewables, we need to be very careful that we aren't locking ourselves into a future which is dependent on fossil fuels," said RenewableUK's director of policy, Dr Gordon Edge. "If investment in gas 'crowds out' renewables then we will only be able to go half-way to decarbonisation when we need to go the whole way to avoid dangerous climate change. "We need to maintain the focus on the abundance of renewable energy the planet provides; we have only just started to reap the benefit from these plentiful resources and we can do much more". It was Mr Abe's second shot at the top job, after a brief term as prime minister from 2006 to 2007. He was then Japan's youngest leader since World War Two - but he stepped down less than a year later, citing ill health, as support for his administration plummeted. Under him, a raft of measures have been introduced aimed at boosting Japan's struggling economy. Ties with China, however, have been tense over territorial and historic disputes. Known as a right-wing hawk, he hails from a high-profile political family. His father, Shintaro Abe, was a former foreign minister and his grandfather was former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi. Mr Abe won his first seat in parliament in 1993. Appointed to the cabinet for the first time in October 2005, he was given the high-profile role of chief cabinet secretary. When he became prime minister a year later, he was seen as a man in the image of predecessor Junichiro Koizumi - telegenic, outspoken and with a similar popular appeal to voters. But a series of scandals and gaffes harmed his administration, including the revelation that the government lost pension records affecting about 50 million claims. A heavy loss for the LDP in upper house elections in July 2007 provided a catalyst for his decision to resign. He stood down from the post in September of that year. He returned to Japan's political stage in 2012, renewing his mandate in the 2014 elections, and is known for his muscular stance on Japan's defence, particularly in territorial rows. He has pushed for Japan's right to collective self-defence, which is the ability to mobilise troops overseas to defend themselves and allies under attack. This change in law is being debated in parliament and has been met with significant opposition from the Japanese public, who have staged vocal protests. China and South Korea have also opposed it. Read more: Japan's (self) defence forces He has also ruffled feathers by questioning whether women were forced to become Japanese soldiers' sex slaves in World War Two. After taking office, he paid a visit to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine, which commemorates Japan's war dead including war criminals, angering neighbours. China-Japan relations chilled over such issues, as well as the continued dispute over islands in the East China Sea. Read more: How uninhabited islands soured China-Japan ties Ice-breaker talks with China's President Xi Jinping at the November 2014 Apec summit raised hopes of improved ties, but relations still remain far from warm. At home, Mr Abe put into place a series of measures known informally as "Abenomics" - monetary policy, fiscal stimulus and structural reforms - aimed at boosting Japan's long-stagnating economy. The measures initially worked in boosting GDP growth in 2013, but later had more mixed results, due to a controversial rise in sales tax which shrank private consumption. Read more: Could women help fix broken Japan? To solve a labour crunch caused by a declining and ageing population, Mr Abe has tried to push for more women to re-enter the workforce. But the campaign has had limited success, due to longstanding cultural norms where women quit their jobs after having children, and are deterred from rejoining the workforce because of Japan's punishing work culture. Mr Abe's attempt to include more women in his cabinet also stumbled when two of them resigned in 2014 over scandals.

'Sense of unity, equality and inclusion' The black panther is a national symbol of Gabon and demonstrates the Central African nation's long term commitment to environmental protection, which includes creating a sanctuary for the some of the world's most fragile species. President Ali Bongo Ondimba said: "I am thrilled today to see the Black Panthers play in this packed stadium where Gabonese from all walks of life are gathered to share their common passion for the game. "Football, like no other sport, creates a sense of unity, equality and inclusion. All of these are at the heart of my vision for a changing Gabon. "It is a pleasure to welcome the new president of Fifa, on his first trip to Africa, to see for himself the great welcome our country will give all participants and visitors to next year's tournament." Infantino arrived on Friday in Franceville on the last leg of a three-day Africa trip that took him to South Sudan, Ethiopia and Djibouti. The Group I match between Gabon and Sierra Leone ended 2-1 to the hosts but it was a friendly and points will not count towards qualification for the 2017 Nations Cup finals. Gabon is currently constructing two stadiums in Port-Gentil and the northern town of Oyem for January's tournament, with the capacity of 20,000 and 20,500 respectively. The Central African country will use four venues for the 16-team tournament, which will take place from 14 January to 5 February - these will be in Libreville, Franceville, Port Gentil and Oyem. Tigers led 16-13 at the break, despite the hosts responding to Tom Youngs' try after half an hour with a score of their own from full-back Chris Pennell. Winger Bryce Heem's try put Worcester back in front before Burns took charge. He slotted a drop-goal and took his haul of penalties to six either side of Wynand Olivier's late Warriors try. Leicester only needed a point to be sure of making the top four, but victory sealed their place in the play-offs for the 13th straight season - and an away semi-final in a fortnight against Wasps. And, although outscored three tries to one, it was secured by a faultless kicking display from Burns, who departs for Bath at the end of the season, when George Ford will return in the opposite direction to Welford Road. Worcester's Ryan Mills landed two penalties and a conversion but his two missed kicks and another from the departing Ryan Lamb proved costly for Gary Gold's Warriors, whose 15th defeat in 22 games this season confirmed their 11th-place finish - a place lower than a year ago. After leading the Warriors team out, the retiring Phil Dowson played the first 49 minutes, taking the 35-year-old's tally of 262 career appearances with Newcastle, Northampton and Worcester - just three short of Steve Borthwick's Premiership record. Ex-Tigers stand-off Lamb, winger Cooper Vuna and prop Ryan Grant all came off the bench to make their own farewell cameo appearances. Warriors head coach Gary Gold told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "Our scrum needs to improve. Silly errors cost us as we seem to go walkabout for 10 minutes in every game. "You can't afford to kick the ball out on the full as we did on two or three occasions. "However, it was still a strong performance as we went toe to toe. I'm proud of the effort we put in but I am never going to celebrate a loss. "Next season we need to continue to improve and hopefully we won't have the constant threat of relegation hanging over us." Leicester head coach Matt O'Connor: "It was tough. Worcester, under Gary Gold, are very committed and we knew it would be hard work. But Freddie's game management was brilliant. "He's a tremendous Tiger. I'm disappointed at not having the opportunity to work with him as he's still got a lot of growth left in him. "It was an ideal dress rehearsal for the semi-final as it was all about winning, which we did with a strong scrum and a much improved line-out. "I'm pleased that we don't have to go to Saracens but Wasps are a fantastic side. If you blink, they'll score. We competed very well up there in the league earlier in the season and it was only one score in it at the end. If we are at our best, we can win."

The former US president was speaking following Mass for the former IRA leader who, a priest said, "became a mainstay of the peace process". Mourners also included Democratic Unionist Party leader Arlene Foster, who received a round of applause. At the graveside, Gerry Adams issued an appeal to "our unionist neighbours". Mr McGuinness, an ex-paramilitary turned Sinn Féin politician, died on Tuesday aged 66, after a short illness. Thousands of people packed the streets of his native Bogside, a republican area of Londonderry, as his funeral took place, and many of them followed the coffin of Mr McGuinness onward to the city cemetery. President Clinton, who was central to the Good Friday Agreement peace negotiations, told mourners he "came to treasure every encounter" with Mr McGuinness. "Our friend earned this vast crowd," he said. "Even more, he earned the right to ask us to honour his legacy by our living. To finish the work that is there to be done." Fr Michael Canny, who was a personal friend of Mr McGuinness, said there were people in the church "whose presence would have been unthinkable only a generation ago". "The presence of those political rivals and opponents who have come to pay their respects is the most eloquent testimony to the memory of Martin McGuinness," he said. Mr McGuinness was a "man of simple tastes who ascended to the political summit," he continued. "He visited the White House, Downing Street and Windsor Castle, but only ever felt at home in his beloved Bogside, returning to his wife and family at every opportunity," Fr Canny said. Mr McGuinness was a "complex man, born into a community where faith, Catholicism and nationalism were intertwined" and his life was a "remarkable journey", he added. "He was the Sinn Féin leader who first shared power, then became friends with the late Dr Ian Paisley; he was the IRA commander who became a mainstay of the peace process." Mr McGuinness' grandchildren read prayers and the Rev Harold Good, a former Methodist Church president, and the Rev David Latimer, from First Derry Presbyterian Church, also spoke. A message was read out on behalf of Archbishop Eamon Martin, leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland, who could not attend the funeral but had visited the McGuinness family on Wednesday. Mr McGuinness' coffin was draped in an Irish tricolour but there were no paramilitary trappings for the one-time IRA commander. Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny, Irish President Michael D Higgins, Secretary of State James Brokenshire and former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond were among the high-profile political figures at the church. By Ciaran McCauley On Thursday afternoon, the city of Derry came to a standstill for the funeral of Martin McGuinness. Thousands lined the short route from his home in Westland Street to his parish church, Long Tower. Onlookers crowded along pavements and stood on balconies as he made his final journey. They often broke into applause as he passed through the Bogside, an area that saw some of the most infamous events of the Troubles. Mr McGuinness' legacy and impact - his shift from IRA leader to pivotal architect of the peace process - will be debated for decades. Regardless, this is the closest the city of Derry has ever come to hosting a state funeral. Numerous politicians from Northern Ireland's Assembly were also there, as was police chief George Hamilton. There had been reports that former British prime minister Tony Blair, who worked with Mr McGuinness to secure the Good Friday Agreement, would attend but they were denied by his spokeswoman. Writing in the Belfast Telegraph, Mrs Foster said she recognised some would be critical of her decision to attend the funeral of a former IRA leader but added she wanted to pay "respect to his family". Following the service, Mr McGuinness was buried in the republican plot in the city cemetery where Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams delivered a graveside eulogy. He said Mr McGuinness "was not a terrorist" but a "freedom fighter". "He was also a political prisoner, a negotiator, a peacemaker, a healer," he said. He also appealed to unionists. "Let us learn to like each other, to be friends, to celebrate and enjoy our differences and to do so on the basis of common sense, respect and tolerance for each other and everyone else - as equals," he said. "Let me appeal also to nationalists and republicans - do nothing to disrespect our unionist neighbours or anyone else." Folk singer Christy Moore sang the final song at the graveside. The Irish tricolour is flying at half mast at the official residence of the Irish president as well as the Dáil (Irish parliament) as a mark of respect to Mr McGuinness. Mr McGuinness had been suffering from a rare heart condition, and he died at Altnagelvin hospital, with his family by his bedside. Many tributes from across the political spectrum have been paid to the republican figurehead. However, some victims of the Troubles have expressed revulsion at media coverage of his death, with critics saying that Mr McGuinness was lauded as a peacemaker despite never having apologised for his IRA past. The council has said this year's overspend is "unprecedented" and is almost double compared to last year's. Part of the overspend is due to social care becoming more expensive and a £100m reduction in government funding. Chief executive, Pat Flaherty, said: "Each year you have to balance your budget. There is no plan B." The council is also expecting further £40m funding cuts in the next financial year. Although the council has not yet overspent, this is a half-year forecast warning to managers about the potential impact of overspending. A 10-point plan has been sent out to its workforce which includes a recruitment freeze, a review of current staffing levels and voluntary redundancies. A goal of spending less money on agency staff has also been imposed. Independent county councillor, Mike Rigby said: "We've seen these sorts of plans in previous years and to be fair to them they've had some success if your only measure of success is bringing your spending down within the budget. "But that's part of the reason why we've got children's services in the inadequate rating for three years." He added that balancing the books meant the council could not provide "the services that the people of Somerset need". Filling social worker posts will continue as part of a long-term plan to improve social services. "Staff are used to the fact that we've cut budgets year on year, unfortunately that's the territory we've had to be in. "Our staff know that we look for efficiencies but this is not any more worrying than previous years," added Mr Flaherty. Last year the county council spent £12m on agency staff which contributed to the overspend. Part of this was spent on filling social worker vacancies. Colum Lewis-Canning, 55, from Moneyrannel Road, Limavady, County Londonderry, took the money from a client's accounts between January 2008 and February 2009. He befriended Portstewart businessman, William O'Neill, 64, in 2001 and persuaded him to invest in a company. The judge has ordered him to pay his victim the arrears or face jail. Londonderry Crown Court heard how Lewis-Canning became acquainted with Mr O'Neill, a caravan park proprietor and caravans distributor, when he worked for the Bank of Ireland in Coleraine in 2001. The following year Lewis-Canning joined the Ulster Bank and was their senior investment manager at their Strand Road branch in Derry. He set up a property investment company called Smartinvest and Mr O'Neill agreed to invest £100,000 in the company. In 2006 Mr O'Neill refused Lewis-Canning's request to invest a further £100,000 in the company. After that refusal, Lewis-Canning, without permission, withdrew £12,500 and a further £65,550 from the businessman's loan account in January and March 2008. He then took another £22,500 from Mr O'Neill's corporate account in February 2009. The court was told that it was the Mr O'Neill's accountant who saw the discrepancies in his accounts and that the police were then informed. Lewis-Canning subsequently pleaded guilty to three charges of fraud by abusing his position as an investment manager with the Ulster Bank. Two other charges were left on the books. When the property market started to collapse Lewis-Canning used Mr O'Neill's money to buy shares in the Royal Bank of Scotland, which owned the Ulster Bank. The shares were then worth between £3 and £4 but collapsed to 20p. The judge said that Lewis-Canning had paid back £48,000 to Mr O'Neill but £52,550 was still outstanding. He said that Lewis-Canning, who had worked in banking for 35 years, had at one time been the rising star in the banking sector locally. The judge added that Lewis-Canning had made blunt admissions and accepted that he took advantage of his personal and professional position with Mr O'Neill to abuse his trust. For more than a century, it was a beacon for seafarers in the Solway Firth. It spent much of the last decade in darkness however, after it was removed from the Little Ross lighthouse, near Kirkcudbright. But now it is lighting up the Stewartry Museum in a new display. In 2004 the lens was airlifted off Little Ross island and delivered to the Kirkcudbright museum in a large wooden crate. It went on display shortly afterwards but it remained in the crate, meaning visitors only had a partial view of the 19th century craftsmanship. Last year curator Anne Ramsbottom vowed to showcase the lens properly. With the help of a reinforced display cabinet, a local removals firm and a number of volunteers, it now takes centre stage in the community museum. She said: "Visitors are really excited about it. Because it's a lens, it refracts the light and so when we light it, it has these beautiful rainbows in it. "Sometimes on a bright day, when we get a bit of sun in, then we actually get that going round the room and people really enjoy that. "It shows itself off really really well." The lens was made in Paris in 1896 by Barbier & Benad, the world leader for lighthouse construction and equipment at the end of the 19th century. The lighthouse was manned by two keepers until 1960 when the clockwork mechanism and paraffin burner were replaced by an automated propane system. Coincidently, in the same year, lighthouse keeper Hugh Clark was found dead on the island after he was shot by his assistant Robert Dickson. At the High Court in Dumfries, Dickson was sentenced to death for the crime, but he was reprieved shortly before his execution. The lens was donated to the museum by the Northern Lighthouse Board. Nicola Hazell contacted Bristol Harbour Authority on Twitter after losing her silver solitaire ring while out rowing in Bristol docks on 9 July. The harbourmaster spotted Avon and Somerset Police's dive team on a training exercise there on Friday and challenged them to find the ring. Miss Hazell was delighted when the divers found the ring just hours later. She tweeted: "Thank you SO much @ASPolice I can't believe you've reunited me with my engagement ring!! #herosindrysuits #SOhappy." Avon and Somerset Police's Nick Evans, who led the dive team, said: "We are delighted to have found it for Nicola. "We can't do this for everyone obviously, but we were here training anyway and we spend a lot of time looking for stolen property and other items, so it was a good challenge for the team." Among the latest names announced are 2ManyDJs, Cat Power and Agnes Obel. They join So Solid Crew, Admiral Fallow, Gogol Bordello and Boney M. who have already been confirmed for the event on 8 to 11 June. In total, about 300 performers are expected on 12 different stages throughout the festival. Co-director Meredith Langley-Vine said: "We can't believe the amazing amount of talented and revered artists coming to this year's Eden Festival. "It really is starting to attract a stampede of established acts as the festival grows and evolves." Callum Ross, who is from the city, had last been seen in the Brudes Hill area at about 12:30 on Saturday. Police had issued an appeal for help in finding Callum as his family became increasingly anxious and search efforts had involved a helicopter. Shortly before 19:00 officers said Callum had been found and thanked the public for their assistance. Fly-half Angus O'Brien kicked 14 points while there were tries for Sarel Pretorius and captain Lewis Evans. Tito Tebaldi scored with an early opportunist effort for Treviso. It was a solid performance from the Dragons on a heavy surface that made running rugby difficult. The hosts opened the scoring with an early O'Brien penalty at the end of a difficult week which saw them scoreless in their defeat by the Ospreys, followed by the Welsh Rugby Union's admission it could take the region over if it failed to improve its fortunes. But they gifted a seventh-minute try to ex-Ospreys scrum-half Tebaldi, who dashed 30 metres after a fortunate bounce from a Dragons high kick. The home side were roused into life after Allen's penalty made it 8-3, with scrum-half Pretorius nipping over after 27 minutes following a series of thrusts from the pack, O'Brien converting. Pretorius ended the half in the sin-bin after a deliberate knock-on in defence, but the Dragons nudged further ahead at 13-8 with a second O'Brien penalty on the stroke of the interval. The Dragons continued to prove more efficient at turning pressure into points with O'Brien slotting over a drop-goal ten minutes after the break and a third penalty on 54 minutes. Flanker Evans made sure of the win with a close-range try on 67 minutes, converted by replacement Dorian Jones. It was never likely to be a spectacular affair on a glue-pot pitch but the Dragons' hard-working effort deserved a return to winning ways ahead of their European Challenge Cup campaign, which sees them needing victories at home to Enisei-STM and away to Brive. Dragons: Carl Meyer; Tom Prydie, Tyler Morgan, Adam Warren, Pat Howard; Angus O'Brien, Sarel Pretorius; Phil Price, Elliot Dee, Brok Harris, Nick Crosswell, Cory Hill, Lewis Evans (capt), Ollie Griffiths, Ed Jackson.

Referee: Mike Adamson (SRU) Assistant referees: Sam Grove-White (SRU), Sean Brickell (WRU) TMO: Non-televised Kraig Mackay, 11, suffered a large cut to his head after being hit by the bottle before the semi-final game against Celtic. Police described it as an "abhorrent" attack. He was made a guest of honour at Rangers' home game against St Johnstone. The teams drew 1-1. Kraig was walking with his family and a number of other Rangers fans in Aikenhead Road, Glasgow, when the bottle was thrown at the group. It struck the youngster on the head and he was taken by ambulance to the Royal Hospital for Children where he was treated for a large cut and later released. Police said the youngster could be left permanently scarred by the attack. Det Insp Colin Hailstones said: "This attack is totally unacceptable and although we don't believe that the young boy was specifically targeted, the bottle was deliberately thrown at the crowd of supporters who were simply making their way to the match to enjoy the game." Officers have appealed for help to find the person responsible. Eighteen people arrested for public disorder offences relating to the game on Sunday. The match was won 1-0 by Celtic. She refused to approve it while working for the US drug agency in the 1960s. It was later found that thalidomide - prescribed to pregnant women to ease morning sickness - was causing thousands of babies to be born with missing limbs or organs. Many died. She was lauded by citizens' groups and was awarded honorary degrees. Dr Kelsey passed away in London, Ontario, on Friday, Canada's CBC reported. Her daughter Christine Kelsey was by her side. Dr Kelsey - who worked at the US Food and Drug Administration - is seen as a hero by many across the US for raising concerns about the safety of thalidomide, which is also known as Kevadon. Dr Kelsey continued to press the manufacturer - who complained about her attitude - for information. The side-effects of the drug then became apparent as the battle of wills dragged on. She was given the award for distinguished federal civilian service by President John F Kennedy. Last month she was appointed to the Order of Canada. On 25 May 1979, Etan Patz begged his mother Julie to allow him to walk on his own to the bus stop. And for the first time, she said yes, giving the six-year-old a dollar to buy a soft drink from a shop near the bus. At the time their neighbourhood of Soho, lower Manhattan, was a place where many residents were on first-name terms with their neighbours, a far cry from the bustling, trendy shopping district of today. Much of the light industry had departed during America's long manufacturing downturn. Artists, photographers and other bohemians had begun occupying the grand 19th Century buildings, with their spacious, light-filled lofts and cast-iron architecture. When Etan did not get off the bus that afternoon, Julie Patz called his school and was told her son had not turned up that morning. She called parents of children who took the bus he would have been on; those children said Etan had not been aboard in the morning. Julie rang the police, then her husband at work. Over the next few weeks, residents and hundreds of police officers fanned out across the neighbourhood; bloodhounds were brought in from out of the city; Soho printers donated fliers with Etan's photograph, printed in English, Spanish, Chinese, Yiddish and Italian. Eventually, the flurry of interest died down, and the neighbourhood settled back into its rhythms. Julie and Stan Patz focused on raising their daughter Shira, eight, and Ari, two. But they also began a campaign to patch up the shortcomings in a system they believed had contributed to the failure to find their son. The couple called for a national fingerprint database, and for federal laws requiring parents to notify their schools when their children are to be absent, and for schools to notify parents if their child does not show up. ''We lost eight hours that way,'' Julie Patz later said. Because of the parents' efforts, missing children's photographs began appearing on milk cartons - with Etan's face one of the first to feature - shopping bags, buses, and elsewhere. ''If it makes people feel uncomfortable, that's terrific," Mrs Patz told the New York Times in 1985. The police developed thousands of leads - four filing cabinets full of clues. As late as 1985, the New York Police Department kept two detectives on the case, along with an FBI agent. By 1988, the detectives were calling the family - who still live in the same loft flat as on the day Etan vanished - regularly with updates on new leads. In 2001, the Patzes obtained a court order declaring Etan dead as part of a lawsuit in which a convicted child molester was held responsible for their son's death. Jose Antonio Ramos was friends with a woman who worked as a babysitter for Etan around the time of the disappearance. In 1989, he told police he had picked the boy up from Washington Square Park, a few blocks from Etan's home, and took him to an apartment. Ramos told police the six-year-old had rebuffed his sexual advances and left, saying he was heading uptown to visit an aunt. In 1990, Ramos was convicted of child molestation in a separate case and sentenced to a lengthy prison term. Prosecutors had insufficient evidence to charge him in Etan's disappearance. As part of the Patzes' lawsuit against him, Ramos was ordered by a court to give $2m (£1.3m) to the family, but no money was ever paid. He is scheduled to be released this year. The case - all but unknown to an entire generation of New Yorkers, but seared into the memories of their elders - re-emerged in the public eye last month. The FBI and New York police excavated a basement about a block from the Patz home, but said four days later they had found no evidence of human remains. The trail seemed to have gone cold again. The news that a man has implicated himself in the case raises the tantalising prospect of an answer, at last, to the 33-year-old mystery of what happened to the boy on the milk carton. The appeal for a return to negotiations came from Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams. He said now that the On The Runs Report has been published, unionists should get back around the talks table. But in a BBC interview, Mr Robinson said he did not believe a resumption of formal talks would achieve anything. He said unionists' focus was on their campaign for a commission of inquiry on parades, which would be raised again at a meeting with Secretary of State Theresa Villiers next week. At the start of this month, unionist parties walked out of talks about parades, flags and the past, in protest at a Parades Commission determination barring an Orange Order parade from returning along part of the Crumlin Road in north Belfast. The Stormont talks came six months after the last major push to resolve the outstanding issues - chaired by former US diplomat Richard Haass and Harvard professor Meghan O'Sullivan - ended without agreement. Asked about a Sunday newspaper report that he would be replaced as DUP leader in September, Mr Robinson described the story as "garbage" and said speculation about his future had become "boring". Also in the interview, the DUP leader accused Sinn Féin of foot-dragging on the latest financial monitoring round at Stormont and claimed funding for the Historical Abuse Inquiry (HAI) was at risk. He said if the dispute was not resolved, the abuse inquiry would have to be suspended. Sinn Féin said it had been attempting to get the DUP to agree the June monitoring round for the last two weeks. "But this cannot be based on a unilateral DUP imposition of an arbitrary £87m in Tory cuts in a routine monitoring round. Tory cuts are a political issue that should be separated out and dealt with by the executive collectively," the party's Daithí McKay said. "The June monitoring round can and should be agreed quickly and the money made available for the work of the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry and for the large number of other projects affected." Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt said the inquiry should not be under any threat. "While the inquiry is dependent on monitoring funds, it is inconceivable to the Ulster Unionist Party that the Northern Ireland Executive would allow the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry to be wound up early for the lack of resources," he said. "Tonight many, many victims will be unnecessarily dismayed and distressed after hearing Peter Robinson say that this outrageous suggestion is even being considered." Meanwhile, Mr Robinson said the terms of reference for the UK's abuse inquiry should include the Kincora Boys' Home in east Belfast. In 1981, three senior care staff at the east Belfast home were jailed for abusing 11 boys. The chair of the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry, Sir Anthony Hart, has said the HIAI "does not have sufficient powers" to investigate some of the allegations relating to Kincora. Mr Robinson said: "I want to see a full investigation into the terrible abuses which occurred in Kincora. "Having received this communication from Sir Anthony, it is clear that the proper route to fully investigate the abuse at Kincora Boys' Home is to have it included in our United Kingdom's Child Abuse Inquiry." His ruling put the spill at 3.2 million barrels - the US government had estimated it at 4.09 million barrels. It shields the oil giant from what could have been a $17.6bn fine. A final figure is expected later this month. The case relating to the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion was heard in New Orleans. In his ruling the judge said BP's response to the disaster had not been grossly negligent. However, he stuck to his earlier decision that it had been grossly negligent leading up to the explosion, in which 11 men aboard the drilling rig were killed. BP is appealing against that decision. These latest penalties under the US Clean Water Act would be in addition to more than $42bn BP has set aside or spent already on clean-up, compensation and fines. The company has sold at least $39bn in assets since the spill. In 2012, BP accepted criminal responsibility for the disaster and agreed to pay $4.5bn to the US government, thus settling its criminal liability in the spill. These latest legal efforts have focused on the amount of civil penalties the firm must pay, both to businesses and individuals affected by the spill and to cover environmental clean-up costs. In a short statement released on Friday, BP said that it "is continuing to review the court's decision". US-listed shares of BP rose about 1% to $36.20 in after-hours trading. A judge ruled on Monday that Northern Ireland's legislation on the issue is in breach of human rights law. He said grounds for abortion should be extended to include pregnancies resulting from sexual crime. The legal age of sexual consent in Northern Ireland is 16. The current law in Northern Ireland only allows an abortion in cases where a woman's life is at risk or there is a permanent or serious risk to her mental or physical health. The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission (NIHRC) brought a legal challenge of the abortion law, seeking its extension to cases involving serious foetal malformation and pregnancies caused by rape or incest. Les Allamby, the NIHRC's chief commissioner, said girls under 16 who become pregnant are victims of sexual crime "regardless if the father of the child is subsequently prosecuted or not". He said the judge's ruling was a recognition of that, and added that if the ruling was enacted it would give girls the choice of an abortion. "In human rights law terms, children and young people have the right to be heard and listened to," Mr Allamby said. "I think it's very important that a 14 or 15-year-old has a chance to outline her own mind and be taken seriously every bit as much as somebody who is 17, 18 or much older. "The matter would be for the woman or the girl to choose whether she wished to access a termination." Brice Dickson, a professor of law at Queen's University in Belfast, said the Northern Ireland Assembly "may choose to restrict what the judge said" when putting the judgement into law. "It may confine these cases to rape and not to sexual activity with a child," Prof Dickson said. "It will all come down to what the legislation, which ultimately is required to be put in place, says and how it defines a sexual crime." Anti-abortion campaigners were critical of the judge's ruling, with Bernadette Smyth, of the Precious Life group, said it had been an "undemocratic decision". She added: "It will clearly see, long term, the opening of the floodgates." The ruling left a "a very grey area" on the issue of allowing abortions for girls under 16, according to Marion Woods, of the anti-abortion group LIFE Northern Ireland. "We would be concerned that a blanket ruling that covers everybody causes too much confusion, which is why we would be saying the law should not be changed at all because it does cause too much confusion," Ms Woods said. "As we unpick the difficulties, we are seeing that this will eventually dig down to abortion on demand." The robot's mission is to search for evidence of life and to learn more about the planet. It can take pictures, collect samples and study the surface of the planet - and then beam the information back to scientists on Earth. Here are four of the biggest discoveries it's made about Mars over the past four years. The Curiosity rover found that ancient Mars had the right chemistry to support life. It found sulphur, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and carbon in the samples it collected, which are key ingredients necessary for life. It also found methane, which is a gas that, on Earth, comes largely from living things. In 2015, Curiosity found that that water can exist as a liquid just beneath the surface of Mars. Mars should be too cold to support liquid water at the surface. But the rover discovered salts in the soil - that means the freezing point of water is lower than we thought, and so liquid water could exist. On a separate mission in 2015, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft took pictures that showed mysterious streaks on Mars - evidence that there could be flowing water on the Red Planet. Astronauts travelling to the Red Planet would get a big dose of damaging radiation. The Curiosity counted the number of high energy space particles striking it on its eight-month journey there. It shows that astronauts would be exposed to radiation levels higher than current safety limits allow. The Curiosity rover sent back the first colour picture of a sunset on Mars - and it turns out it's blue! The rover snapped some pictures of the sunset in between several dust storms on the planet. The reason it looks blue is because the reds and yellows from the Sun were absorbed by the dust that was still floating in the atmosphere.. That meant the blue coloured light was able to get through the dust more easily and that was picked up by the rover. Mr Ban urged both sides to exercise restraint, saying the Middle East could not afford "another full-blown war". More than 80 Gazans have been killed since Israel's operation began on Tuesday, Palestinian officials say. Israel says it has hit more than 100 targets in Gaza since midnight, while Palestinian militants are continuing to fire rockets into Israel. Israel launched its operation after a surge in rocket-fire amid a crackdown on Hamas members in the West Bank last month, as Israel hunted for the abductors of three Israeli teenagers. The teenagers were found murdered, and tensions were raised further with the killing of a Palestinian teenager in a suspected revenge attack days later. Israel says its targets in Operation Protective Edge have been militant fighters and facilities, and that "dozens of terrorists" have been killed. But the Palestinian health ministry says many of those who have died were women and children. At the scene: BBC's Yolande Knell in Gaza On a normal day, the streets of Gaza City are teeming with people and cars honk their horns as they sit in traffic jams. Now they are eerily quiet. Occasionally someone strides past purposefully, or a car or ambulance races by. The shops are all shuttered. Most people here are staying at home trying to keep safe. Some will also be catching up on sleep after a noisy night when Israeli naval ships bombarded this coastal strip, making buildings shake and babies cry. Local television stations can hardly keep up with the pace of news from inside busy hospitals and outside demolished homes. They show shocking images of dead children being pulled from the rubble on repeat. The increasing number of civilians killed is alarming. Some people have moved in with other family members who they deem to live in safer areas. Egypt has opened its border crossing with Gaza for casualties but otherwise there is no way to leave the Palestinian territory because of the Egyptian and Israeli blockade. At the scene: BBC's James Reynolds on Israel's Gaza border Shortly before 0300 ( midnight GMT) in Ashkelon, a rocket siren sounded. I woke and headed to the secure room of our hotel (joined by guests in their pyjamas). There was no all-clear siren so, after a minute or two, we guessed that the threat from the rocket had passed, and headed back to our rooms. This morning, near the border with Gaza, my colleagues and I saw a column of black smoke in a field - a fire caused by a rocket attack. Farmers drove tractors over the flames to put out the fire. We drove on and saw Gaza itself, a few miles away, on the horizon. We saw three jet plumes of white smoke shoot up from Gaza - rockets being fired from the Palestinian territory. More than 20 people have been killed in the latest air raids on Gaza, Palestinian officials say - most of whom were in a house and a cafe in Khan Younis. Elsewhere on Thursday: Israel says militants have fired more than 365 rockets from Gaza since Tuesday - many of which have been intercepted by the Iron Dome system - and that it has attacked about 780 targets over the same time. Meanwhile, an Israeli military spokesman said an attack on a house in Khan Younis on Tuesday in which eight people were killed was "a tragedy - not what we intended", adding people had returned to the building too soon following a telephone warning. The home was said to be that of Odeh Kaware, a local Hamas commander. Israeli sources say a second warning was given when a projectile without a warhead was fired at the building in a tactic known as a "tap on the roof", but people went back. "They were told to leave, they returned, and the missile was already on the way. It was too late," the Jerusalem Post newspaper quoted an Israeli security source as saying. The Palestinian Maan news agency said dozens of people had gathered on the roof after the family had been warned by Israel that the building would be targeted. Separately, Egyptian state television said the government had decided to open the Rafah border crossing on Thursday to evacuate some of those wounded in the Israeli attacks. Hospitals in North Sinai have been placed on standby and 30 ambulances sent to the crossing. Egypt says it is in contact with both sides. But while it has played a key role in the past as a mediator, it currently appears to be biding its time, says the BBC's Orla Guerin in Cairo. Analysts say Egypt is in no hurry to broker a ceasefire that might benefit Hamas - as happened under ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in November 2012. Egypt sees Hamas, an offshoot of Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, as a direct threat. Having crushed the Brotherhood over the past year, it wants to see Hamas suffer the same fate, our correspondent says. In that sense, it is on the same page with Israel, she adds. Natural Resources Wales investigated the sightings and confirmed it is a naturally occurring algae. The algae, called Phaeocystis and Chaetocerus, is often mistaken for pollution because of its oily appearance and seaweed like smell. It thrives in warm weather and further reports are expected. Beaches where the algae has been confirmed include Barafundle, Cwm-yr-Eglwys, Freshwater East, Lydstep, Newgale, and Tenby. Lord King told BBC Newsnight that while questions had been raised over which currency an independent Scotland would use, he did not see "major problems". But he said it could be a challenge to borrow on the international markets. On Brexit, he said his "biggest worry" was "obsessed" politicians ignoring the trade deficit and NHS funding. Theresa May has said it is not the time for a Scottish independence referendum. But Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she remained "determined" to have an independence referendum on her timescale. Lord King, who headed the Bank of England between 2003 and 2013, said there are plenty of small countries the same size as Scotland, and it "certainly" could be independent. "It has... the people, it has a capital city, a history and culture, it could be an independent country. The question is, does it want to be given the consequences of it?" he said. "And if the oil price remains low and if they lose the money which is transferred from the rest of the UK to Scotland, then they would have to make that up in their own budget, but that's a consequence of deciding to be financially independent, you end up paying for yourself. "And it would be a challenge to borrow on the international market if Scotland decided to run a large budget deficit. I think that would be expensive, the interest rate would go up." Ahead of the 2014 referendum, ratings agency Fitch warned that plans for an independent Scotland to continue use of the pound without shared fiscal and banking union with the UK could risk "high volatility and market turbulence". Lord King said: "I myself don't think there are any major problems in terms of currency, that was the thing project fear focussed on last time, but there is an issue about public finances." He also said he had concerns about a range of issues facing the UK in future. "My biggest worry about economic policy in the next few years is that all the politicians seem obsessed with Brexit. "And actually, the biggest problems we face now are not Brexit, it's about how we can reduce the trade deficit, how we're going to save enough as a nation to pay for our pensions... how we're going to save enough to pay for care for the elderly... how we are going to finance the NHS." He added that if politicians only focused on Brexit over the next two or three years, "then those big questions will not receive the attention which they deserve". On the implications for Northern Ireland's border with the Republic of Ireland post-Brexit, Lord King said it was in "everyone's interests to have an imaginative discussion about where we should go". He said there may be a "way of shifting the tax and tariff border, from the land frontier to the sea frontier while not disturbing the political arrangements". And he added: "There's no reason why the rate of corporation tax in Northern Ireland has to be the same as in the rest of the UK, once we have the freedom to do that." You can watch Evan Davis's full interview with Lord Mervyn King here All organisms on Earth are classified as either prokaryotes, which have simple cells, or eukaryotes, which have larger, more complex cells. But the two cell types are so divergent that understanding how one evolved from the other has foxed biologists. The new microbes, reported in Nature journal, go some way to bridging that gap. They have been named Lokiarchaeota, partly after the Loki's Castle volcanic vent system lying 15km away from the site where the microbes' genetic material was isolated in cold marine sediments of the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms and comprise all bacteria and archaea (a group of microbes that were once considered to be bacteria, but now form a separate domain of life). Eukaryotes comprise some single-celled life forms, as well as all multi-cellular organisms, such as animals, plants and fungi. The gulf between these two groupings is vast. The eukaryotes possess cellular structures that are enclosed within a lipid envelope. The defining trait is the nucleus, which hosts the cell's genetic material. Another would be mitochondria; these are found in most eukaryotes and act as a cell's "batteries". According to a widely accepted theory, mitochondria began as bacteria and were gradually incorporated into eukaryotic cells, perhaps through some relationship of mutual benefit. Lokiarchaeota have genes that code for proteins only otherwise found in eukaryotes, such as parts of the cytoskeleton - a matrix that supports cell shape and movement. "Archaea and eukaryotes are sister groups, sharing a common ancestor," said lead author Thijs Ettema, from Uppsala University in Sweden. He told BBC News: "This has been a leading model for 20 years or so. What happened a few years ago is that the branch in the tree that had the eukaryotes jumped on to the archaea branch. More specifically, it was affiliating with a group known as the TACK archaea." Lokiarchaeota fall within the TACK grouping and represent the closest prokaryotic organisms to the eukaryote state. According to Dr Ettema, the similarities between them show that Lokiarchaeota shared a common ancestor with eukaryotes roughly two billion years ago, and that this ancestor possessed a "starter kit" of genes that supported the increase in cellular complexity seen in eukaryotes today. He explained: "The fact that we have found these same genes in [Lokiarchaeota] does not mean that they have the same function as they do in eukaryotes. "But what we need to do to find out what those genes do in Lokiarchaeota is to carry out experiments, and for that we need actual cells." The team had to reconstruct the new organisms from genetic material found in the cold marine sediments. But the effort to isolate cells will be a challenge. "Getting the samples is not easy, and the amount of nutrients in these harsh environments is extremely limited. So the number of cells in these sediments will be extremely low and in general life down there is very slow. "Some people have made predictions about how often cells divide down there and they have come up with numbers like one division every 10 years. If you want to grow them in the lab, these are not timescales that are feasible." But the researchers are looking for "Loki-like" organisms in other locations, including hot springs in Yellowstone National Park, in the US, and New Zealand. "We might even find Loki-like organisms that have more recent ancestry with eukaryotes. We could try to reconstruct their genomes and find additional pieces of the puzzle of how complex life might have originated," said Dr Ettema. A key event in the evolution of eukaryotes was the acquisition of mitochondria. Lokiarchaeota do not possess them - making this organism no different from any other prokaryote. So precisely when cells first merged with the ancestors of these cellular powerhouses remains an open question. "The acquisition of mitochondria really got things started," said Dr Ettema, adding: "The genes we find in Loki provide some pointers." One critically important gene in eukaryotes is that which encodes a protein called actin. This has many functions in eukaryotic cells, but one of them is "phagocytosis". This process enables cells to engulf other cells, "eating" them. "In Loki we also find genes that are related to those that encode actin proteins. Although we don't know what they do in Loki, we can infer that the last common ancestor had these genes," said Thijs Ettema. Commenting on the research in the latest edition of Nature, Newcastle University cell biologists Martin Embley and Tom Williams write: "The identification of Lokiarchaeota so early in the history of this nascent field suggests that more closely related archaeal relatives of eukaryotes will soon be discovered."

RBGE lost 34 trees and hundreds of plants in the storm. It also caused hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage to buildings and glasshouses. Now, nearly five years later, RBGE is to commemorate the dramatic event with a ground-breaking exhibition. After the Storm, which opens on 3 December and runs until May, will include 14 unique tables, chairs, desks, cabinets and other items made from wood from the lost trees. Ian Edwards, head of exhibitions and events at RBGE, said: "After the Storm will consider the legacy of the dramatic 'once-in-a-lifetime' event and its effect on the landscape. "Dozens of trees were blown down in the garden. It was a pretty devastated site, but there is a silver lining to every storm. "Some of those trees were suitable for making into furniture. Now we have given them a new lease of life. "We're trying to show the positive effects of storms in encouraging regeneration and building up resilience." Cyclone Andrea brought with it the strongest winds for a generation. The storm left trees uprooted as well as damage to the Montane and Wet Tropics Glasshouses and the plants inside. It took two years to hatch a plan to transform the logs into furniture. The furniture has been hand-crafted by designer-makers in workshops all over Scotland, from the Borders to the Highlands, on the themes of rejuvenation and regrowth. Craftsmen were selected with the support of the Scottish Furniture Makers' Association (SFMA) and the Forestry Commission, which has an interest in promoting the sustainable use of Scotland's hardwood timber. Many of the pieces will be available for sale at the exhibition, as will a range of smaller items made from the wood, such as bowls and clocks. Mr Edwards added: "The pieces demonstrate the masterly skills of Scotland's best craftsmen and highlight the beauty that can be found in disaster. "They all reflect the theme in a different way. There is a personal story attached to each one." The first exhibition of furniture, photographs and drawings will open in the John Hope Gateway, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, on 3 December and will run until 26 May 2017. The furniture has been photographed standing in the spots where the original trees stood.

Mrs Annie Barritt was found ill in her room at Oaklands Country Care Home, at Kirk Hammerton near York, on 4 November 2012 and died later in hospital. An investigation revealed problems with the home's heating system. The home's owners, Maria Mallaband Care Group Ltd of Leeds, pleaded guilty to one breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act. Read more about this and other stories from across North Yorkshire York Crown Court was told Mrs Barritt suffered from dementia and would have required 24-hour care. When she was admitted to hospital her body temperature was 25.3C rather than the usual 37C. An investigation by Harrogate Borough Council found that, in addition to the faulty heating system, Mrs Barritt had not been given any hot food or drink on the day of her death. Staff had also not updated her care plan after she was discharged from hospital a week before her death. Tony Moule, environmental health officer at the council, said: "No fine can ever compensate the family for the loss of their mother in such shocking circumstances. "For an elderly vulnerable person to suffer hypothermia, whilst in bed in her room under the care of a national care provider, beggars belief." Mrs Barritt's sons, David and Anthony, said: "It is hard to believe that an elderly lady with dementia could be treated in such an appalling way in a care home that claimed to specialise in the care of such vulnerable people." They added they hoped their mother's "sad and unnecessary" death would lead to an improvement of standards at the home. Maria Mallaband Care Group Ltd said in a statement it wished to offer its "deepest sympathies" to Mrs Barritt's family. It continued: "They trusted us to look after their loved one and we failed, and for this we are very sorry." It said a number of improvements had been made since Mrs Barritt's death and the home was currently rated as 'good' by the Care Quality Commission. In addition to the fine the company was ordered to pay the council's costs of £45,560. The situation is being blamed on too many people coming to Accident and Emergency departments "unnecessarily". The hospitals are the Bristol Royal Infirmary, Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, Southmead, Weston General and Yeovil District. Black escalation status means there is severe pressure on services. "The evidence from hospital A&E Departments is that many people are still continuing to use A&E unnecessarily," said Dr Peter Goyder, of the Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group. Additional staff have been called in and extra beds are being opened up wherever possible. However some planned operations have been cancelled. Dr Goyder urged people who feel unwell to talk to their pharmacist first, contact their GP or ring 111. Yeovil District Hospital said it was "really short of bed capacity in the hospital". Simon Sethi, director of urgent care, said: "We've done a lot to prepare but this winter we've seen really high demand, which has been a challenge." To cope with winter pressures the hospital leased 18 beds from a local nursing home and is due to open a "ready made" 24-bed ward in February. "We've got this arrangement with a local care home and that's helping us partly - we'd be in a more challenging position if we didn't have that," said Mr Sethi. Taunton's Musgrove Hospital and Bath's Royal United hospital are all on a "red alert" - one level below black. What is a black alert? •The NHS uses a national internal alert system based on the colours green, amber, red and black to rank how busy a local health and social care system is •Black alert status occurs when a hospital cannot cope with the number of people coming into the accident and emergency department because too few people are being discharged •It effectively means the hospital does not have enough bed capacity to cope Committed campaigners can be found shivering on the odd street corner, but they know Scotland is not fertile territory for them and they have hardly any prominent Scottish politicians backing them up. Tom Walker won't let that put him off. A doctor, who has never been politically active before, he has been inspired to get out there and campaign against the odds. He is not a member of any political party, he got through the whole of the Scottish independence referendum without feeling motivated to do any canvassing - but the idea of Brexit has him fired up and out on the streets. At least he has plenty of different coloured leaflets to hand out. Brexiteers are so few and far between in Scotland the competing leave campaigns cannot afford to squabble amongst themselves. So they have teamed up together and Tom can give you literature produced by "Grassroots Out", "Vote Leave" or even "Labour Leave". Dr Walker claims he meets plenty of voters who do want to get out of the EU. People whose voice is not being well represented in the debate in Scotland. Polls suggest that around a third of Scots are planning to vote to leave. There is clearly a strong vein of Euro scepticism running through Scotland. But there are almost no senior politicians or public figures who are campaigning to leave. Only one Tory MSP, Margaret Mitchell, says she is an outer. All five party leaders in the Holyrood parliament support the UK's continued membership of the EU and very few of the rank and file have publicly disagreed with them. Even some of those with the most sceptical pedigrees have decided to vote to remain. When I popped in to a Conservative Party meeting in Edinburgh convened to debate the "EU - In or Out", it was obvious talking to people over the free wine and rather classy sandwiches (parma ham and mozzarella on ciabatta, very European) that almost half of the audience were hoping to hear strong arguments against EU membership. But all three men on the panel were advocating a vote to remain. The organisers hadn't found a speaker prepared to argue the case for leaving. One of those speakers was Alex Johnstone, a Conservative MSP who has long been known for his highly sceptical views. He describes the EU as a "failed project". And then says he will vote to remain a part of it. He admitted to me that many people will be surprised and disappointed by his decision. But he is typical of most Scottish Tories. And without a vigorous debate among the political class there is little to spark discussion among voters. People who do want to leave the EU can legitimately complain that their views are simply not being represented by their elected representatives. It is something of a democratic deficit. There are few well known leavers. Like Jim Sillars, former deputy leader of the SNP. Once he pioneered a policy of "independence in Europe" but he has changed his mind since then and is now one of the few high profile politicians campaigning to leave. Others include former Labour MP Tom Harris, who is now heading up the Vote Leave campaign in Scotland, and another former Labour MP, Nigel Griffiths, who is running Labour Leave. But they are up against Nicola Sturgeon and nearly all of the SNP as well as the leader of the opposition Kezia Dugdale, the Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson, the Lib Dems and the Greens. One reason why there are so few politicians prepared to defy their party leadership and campaign to get out of the EU could be the imminent elections to the Scottish Parliament on 5 May. They are consuming far more time and attention than the EU referendum. And MSPs standing for re-election don't think this a good moment for their party to seem to be split on a big issue like Europe. Voters too are far more concerned by arguments over new tax rates in Scotland than they are about European regulations. It is hard for the EU debate to break through. Scots already have plenty of referendum experience. We have had four referendums in Scotland since the 1975 vote on membership of the Common Market. So far this year's vote on the EU has not sparked anything like the fervour or enthusiasm that accompanied the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence. Without well known, passionate advocates on both sides of the debate it will remain something of a damp squib. South African batsman Colin Ingram won the award for the One-Day Cup while captain Jacques Rudolph took the honours for the T20 Blast. All-rounder David Lloyd, 23, picked up club and St Helen's Balconiers Awards for young player of the year, after becoming a first-team regular. Glamorgan have also named Robin Saxton as head groundsman for a year. He was previously assistant to Keith Exton, who has left the club. Wagg, 32, was third top run-scorer in the Championship with 838, including a career-best 200 against Surrey, and was also second highest wicket-taker with 45, just behind Michael Hogan. Lloyd had an impressive Championship batting average of 39 despite going in anywhere between three and ten in the order, as well as acting as the fourth seam bowler. Ingram turned in a remarkable series of innings in the 50-overs game with centuries against Kent, Essex and Middlesex in the space of just five visits to the crease. "I thoroughly enjoyed that middle period when all went well, I just used that momentum and used the same formula over and over. I just want to keep it simple and come back next year and put in a few more performances for us." Despite being top scorer in the four-day format, Ingram admits he was frustrated with his championship performances and has had to work on his technique in British conditions. "Towards the back end of the season, I've started to find a formula that can be more consistent next year. I'm pretty disappointed not to get a thousand runs but lots of positives to work on for next season." Ingram has already returned to South Africa to prepare for his new season with the Warriors while Rudolph flew back straight after the final match to be with his wife and new-born son. But he was named T20 player of the season after scoring 461 runs at an average of nearly 42 in the competition, as well as his captaincy duties across all three formats. "It's been an interesting season for me," said Rudolph. "We played a very positive brand of cricket especially when we had our backs against the wall, and I will keep driving that message home because we want to push for promotion [in the championship]." Teenage batsman Aneurin Donald was second eleven player of the year, Kiran Carlson was academy player of the year, and Tom Murphy most promising academy player. The awards dinner was held in Swansea and hosted by the Balconiers supporters group. The East Midlands Trains service was travelling from Leicester to York when it hit part of a conveyor wagon at Barrow upon Soar earlier this month. A man working on the lorry was taken to hospital but the train did not derail and no passengers were hurt. The Office of Road and Rail said it is also investigating. The train had been travelling at 102mph (163 km/h) when it hit the boom of a conveyor wagon, which was sticking out over the line at Mountsorrel sidings, at 10:27 on 14 February. The maximum speed for that section is 110mph (176 km/h), the RAIB said. The driver applied the emergency brake and no-one on board the train was injured but the driver was described as being "badly shaken" by the incident. The train was then taken at low speed to Loughborough where passengers were put on different trains to continue their journeys. Both the RAIB and the Office of Road and Rail have confirmed they are investigating. Dr Linda Katehi admitted that UC Davis, California, brought in a company "specialising in what is known as search engine optimisation". But she denied that the institution had sought to "rewrite history". Dr Katehi has faced calls to resign over the 2011 incident and its fallout. Earlier this month, the Sacramento Bee newspaper reported that UC Davis hired the PR firm Nevins and Associates on a six-month contract at $15,000 (£10,400) per month. The university was seeking to deal with the reaction to the incident in 2011 in which students who were protesting on the university's campus, near Sacramento, in California, were pepper-sprayed by a campus police officer. The paper published a document which it said set out the firm's proposed strategy. The document read: "Nevins and Associates is prepared to create and execute an online branding campaign designed to clean up the negative attention the University of California, Davis, and Chancellor Katehi have received related to the events that transpired in November 2011." The document also referred to "eradication of references to the pepper spray incident in search results on Google for the university and the Chancellor" via an "aggressive and comprehensive online campaign to eliminate the negative search results". In a statement published on the university's website this week, Dr Katehi said: "In hindsight, we should have been more careful in reviewing some of the more unrealistic and ridiculous scope-of-work claims in the written proposals of our outside vendors. "What might be accepted industry hyperbole in the private public relations world falls far beneath the high standards of a public institution of higher learning." The Los Angeles Times reported last week that the University of California's student association had called on Dr Katehi to resign over the news. In her statement, Dr Katehi acknowledged that an extra $1.6m (£1.1m) had been pumped into the institution's communications budget recently. She cited examples of the university's good works and said that any organisation in its position would seek to ensure those were highlighted. Kirsty Williams said that such predictions in 2011 were wrong, and the party went on to win five seats. "The challenges are the same, and the predictions are the same," she said. The Lib Dems also backed a call to end parents' rights to remove their children from sex education lessons, at their spring conference in Cardiff. Speaking to BBC Wales political editor Nick Servini, on the Sunday Politics Wales programme, Ms Williams said: "Obviously these elections are challenging, but they were challenging for us five years ago, when people like your colleagues in the BBC and pollsters said that we would be wiped out. "We demonstrated, by taking a very strong campaign out onto the streets into communities, and articulating very clearly why Welsh Liberal Democrats needed to be in the assembly, what we would do if we had the opportunity." Ms Williams said the Lib Dems had then returned a "small but strong group" that had "punched above its weight and has used its influence to do good things". "My more nurses bill, for instance, the first part of Europe that will have a law that will say that we'll have safe staff levels on all our hospital wards." On the final day of the conference, a motion to end parents' rights to remove their children from sex education lessons was backed by party members. Cardiff West candidate Cadan ap Tomos, who proposed the motion, said the status quo was "woefully inadequate". He said he had spent much of his teenage years "struggling...mainly because at no point during my education was the message hammered home that being anything other than straight was perfectly normal". Every child in Wales needed access to sex education, he said, in order to tackle issues including domestic violence, sexual health and teenage pregnancy. Some activists argued that the move would conflict with the right to religious freedom, but the motion was approved by the party's conference and could now feature in the party's assembly election manifesto. Earlier, plans to build 20,000 new affordable homes, if the party wins power in May, were outlined. Double ministers' current target, it would increase social housing spending from £35m a year to £70m. Money saved from scrapping the Labour Welsh government's planned M4 relief road around Newport would be used to fund the scheme, the party said. Party housing spokesman Peter Black said: "Wales needs a government that will invest in a house building programme so everyone can have a roof over their heads. "Social housing will be a priority for the Welsh Liberal Democrats. "We will ensure that there is quality, affordable housing for those who need it." Labour had an "almost sneering" attitude to home ownership and aspiration, he said, repeating a party pledge to introduce a "rent to buy" scheme to help people get on the housing ladder. On Saturday, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron called delays to a £1bn tidal energy project in Swansea "shameful" and urged the party to challenge Labour's "arrogant sense of entitlement to rule" in May. The singer's lawyers have sent a cease-and-desist letter, saying the use of the song "gives a false impression" he endorses Mr Trump's presidential bid. The politician has been playing the power ballad all summer, even air-drumming to it at a rally in Las Vegas. Tyler, who is a registered Republican, says it is not a "personal" issue but one of permission and copyright. BBC Entertainment Live: News updates It is the third time a musician has confronted Trump about using their songs to promote his presidential bid. When the businessman announced his candidacy, his campaign played Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World - an angry response to presidency of George Bush Senior. Young, a well-known liberal, demanded that Trump stop using the song and declared his support for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders instead. Trump's campaign responded that "despite Neil's differing political views, Mr Trump likes Neil very much." He then used REM's It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine), prompting singer Michael Stipe to issue a strongly-worded statement, saying: "Do not use our music or my voice for your moronic charade of a campaign." Conversely, Tyler is not politically opposed to the billionaire, who is the current frontrunner in the Republican race for the White House. The singer even attended the second GOP (Grand Old Party) debate in August as Trump's guest, according to the Washington Post, but his representatives issued a legal letter to Trump's campaign over the weekend. "Trump for President does not have our client's permission to use Dream On or any of our client's other music in connection with the campaign because it gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr Trump's presidential bid," the cease-and-desist letter read. "If Trump for President does not comply with our demands, our client will be forced to pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies which our client may have against you." Trump was initially asked to stop using Dream On, which features the refrain "dream until your dream comes true" after a rally in Alabama two months ago, but he has continued to use it on the campaign trail, reports Rolling Stone. Representatives for his campaign did not immediately respond to request for comment. Politicians using songs by musicians who do not support them has been a thorny issue for decades, since Bruce Springsteen castigated President Reagan for planning to use Born in the USA as a backdrop for his 1984 re-election campaign. Technically, US copyright laws give politicians carte blanche to use recorded music at their rallies - as long as the venue has a public performance licence issued through a songwriters' association such as ASCAP or BMI (in the US) or PRS (in the UK). However, there is some leeway for an artist to complain their image and reputation is being damaged by the repeated use of a song without their express permission. The midfielder, 30, has two years to run on his Carrow Road contract, having joined the Canaries in 2015. He scored six goals in 24 appearances for the English Championship club last season. Dorrans, who won the last of his 12 caps for Scotland in 2015, began his career at Livingston before moving to West Brom in 2008. Rangers, who finished third in the Premiership, have been busy reshaping their squad. Manager Pedro Caixinha has already made five new signings, with HJK Helsinki striker Alfredo Morelos in Glasgow on Monday for talks. Mexican midfielder Carlos Pena and his compatriot, striker Eduardo Herrera, are awaiting the outcome of a work permit hearing by the Scottish Football Association and are also expected to join the club. The French rider recovered from a crash 30km from the finish to beat Britain's Ben Swift in a sprint to the line. But two rival riders claim the 24-year-old was towed back up to the leading group as they climbed the Cipressa. "There are judges in cycling. If I had done something forbidden, I would have been disqualified," Demare told French newspaper L'Equipe. "I have done nothing wrong." Astana's Eros Capecchi and Tinkoff's Matteo Tosatto said the FDJ rider took a tow, travelling "twice our speed". But Demare said he only "profited from the draft of the car", with his team also denying the allegations. "It's part of cycling and always has been," he added. "They block the wind. It is not forbidden." Race judge Herve Borcque decided, in the absence of video of photographic evidence, not to take any action against Demare. Last year, Italy's Vincenzo Nibali was disqualified from the Vuelta a Espana after he was pictured being towed by a support car when trying to regain ground after a crash. He says the lack of licensed agents has turned the Pacific Islands into the "Wild West" and claims players are being lured overseas on false promises. He now wants significant changes to protect the smaller nations. "Anyone can do anything, so it's the Wild West in that respect," the former Fiji sevens coach told BBC Scotland. The Englishman also warned that: In August, BBC Scotland detailed the anxieties of Shaun Longstaff, a former Scotland international and agent who scouts the Pacific Islands on behalf of some of Europe's elite clubs. He claims he was told to find them "a freak". Not a playmaker, nor a goalkicker, they want the next hulking phenomenon and they want him cheap. With players of athleticism, an intangible, un-coachable flair and a humble obsession with the game, the islands are a goldmine of box-office talent. But without a professional league and given the Fijian national minimum wage - only introduced in 2014 - is just 87p per hour, players move abroad to earn for their families and fight for a Test jersey. There are currently: Gaining a foothold in a top league overseas can mean players switching international allegiances. "Unless you've got a full Test cap, you can't come into the Aviva Premiership," explains Ryan. "It's a lot harder to come into the UK, so the French are poaching everyone." He says the closest professional league to Fiji is the ITM Cup in New Zealand, but claims players from the Pacific Islands can only go there if they are qualified to represent the All Blacks. "They get a Super Rugby contract dangled in front of them and they don't then come back across to play for Fiji," says Ryan. "Australia's the same." A distinction should be made between islanders "poached" from overseas and those whose families emigrated while they were infants. Many are products of diverse bloodlines and thus eligible for several nations, but more and more Fijians are choosing to play for their adopted homelands. After serving a three-year residency period, Taqele Naiyaravoro and Henry Speight both played for Australia. Tevita Kuridrani also plays for the Wallabies after moving to Australia as a 16-year-old. Elsewhere: "In 10 years' time, if things don't change, I see an Australian side with half their team coming from the islands, at least," says Ryan. "I've heard of at least another dozen coming through the Australia ranks. "There will be four or five others in France without doubt, because I know there are young kids there who are phenomenally talented and a year off getting residency, so it's inevitable unless we make something happen quickly." In May, World Rugby's vice-president, Argentinian former scrum-half Agustin Pichot, spoke of his distaste for the present eligibility criteria. But Ryan fears extending the residential period to five years, as has been mooted, would only drive scouts and clubs to recruit ever-younger players. "I went to Toulon in pre-season and they knew about 15-year-olds that were playing in Fiji school competitions," he says. "They'll go to the villages, they'll give some money or incentives to their family to get them to go overseas. Then they'll take them to their French, Australian or New Zealand clubs or schools or academies. "Some guys will make it, some guys won't. It's an educated gamble that more often than not pays off." There is no regulation of agents and no compulsory registration. Ryan worries honest souls, like Longstaff, are outnumbered by those eager to plunder. "There are dodgy agents and people on the islands cutting deals and taking backhanders," says Ryan, claiming players are often contacted via Facebook. "There are some terrible agents, mainly the ones that have been kicked out of Australia and New Zealand. "They end up trying to get islanders across, saying how they helped them. It's the opposite. I've had players left high and dry. "Where there is un-regulation, you're going to get cowboys out there that don't care and are just looking to make a quick buck." Ryan, who quit as Fiji sevens head coach after the Rio Games, also wants more tangible assistance from those who hold the power in international rugby. England's last Test in Fiji was in 1991 and they have never played in Samoa or Tonga. Neither have South Africa nor Australia, who haven't been to Fiji since 1984. New Zealand have played recent internationals in the USA and Samoa, while two of their franchises, the Chiefs and Crusaders, played a Super Rugby fixture in the Fijian capital, Suva, in July. However, the All Blacks themselves have never set foot in Fiji. Meanwhile, Wales haven't toured the Pacific since 1994, France since 1998 and Ireland 2003. Of the Tier One nations, only Italy and Scotland have played Tests on the islands in the past five years. Ryan says Fiji's recent success at the Olympic Games in Rio represents a good opportunity to take positive action. "For the greater good of the game, you need a bigger top table," he says. "You need these teams trying to fight it out for quarter-final places at the World Cup - and that's not happening." Aside from losing players to richer nations, having so many internationals abroad makes preparing for Test matches extremely difficult. Of last year's 31-man Fiji World Cup squad, 28 played club rugby overseas. There are, stresses Ryan, diligent and savvy World Rugby operators on the islands striving to provide better governance and sharper infrastructure, but with limited success. Ryan says a World Rugby-backed Pacific draft would help protect both players and countries. He also advocates a percentage of a player's wages going back to their home union to "drive high performance" on the islands. "If we have domestically contracted players that are earning good money and if all the boys were earning the same money they earn overseas, none of them would leave," he says. Ryan says having a Fijian national team in Super Rugby competition would be "a game-changer", too. He also suggests franchising the Fijian, Samoan and Tongan national teams would boost their earning potential by attracting all sorts of sponsorship. Until then, he says, the Pacific Island teams - especially the 15-a-side teams - are going to suffer because they get very little contact with their players, "90% of whom are based overseas". The Rams started well and took the lead when Chris Martin poked home Cyrus Christie's precise cross. Tom Ince's neat finish doubled the lead shortly before half-time following good play from Jeff Hendrick. Brentford's best chance fell to Philipp Hofmann, whose shot was cleared off the line by Christie as Derby claimed their fourth win in five games. They move up to seventh in the Championship, while Brentford, who have lost both matches since Lee Carsley took over and four of their past five, drop to 20th. After a scrappy first 20 minutes, Derby took the lead when Christie's brilliant first-time cross found the in-form Martin, who tapped in for his fifth league goal of the season. The Rams went close to doubling their lead through Ince's curling effort, before Bradley Johnson's shot was brilliantly saved by Brentford goalkeeper David Button. Ince finished off an excellent team move following good link-up play by George Thorne and Hendrick. After the break, Johnson's header from Ince's corner was superbly saved by Button. Brentford, who offered little throughout, almost reduced the deficit late on when Christie got back well to clear Hofmann's shot off the line. Derby head coach Paul Clement told BBC Radio Derby: Media playback is not supported on this device "We all felt that pressure of needing to win at home and it's pleasing that it has come on the back of some really good results away from home. "It was maybe the best we've played this season in the first half because I thought it showed all the qualities we have, that we can defend, pressurise, get the tactics right, create and take opportunities. "It was not so good at the end, a team in slightly better form could have hurt us, but we'll take the positives out of it. "I'm much more encouraged, we've shown we can beat some good teams, win while not playing well and win while playing well. We're not there though, we've got to keep improving. [Darren Bent's omission) "It was unfortunate, it can happen, he arrived late and I needed to name the team. Anyone can get stuck in traffic but I couldn't be totally sure what time he would arrive." Brentford boss Lee Carsley: Media playback is not supported on this device "We did okay in the first half but didn't really carry much threat. There's a lack of confidence and that's the hardest thing in football. "We have players here who are new to the English game and we need to give them a bit of time. "I would rather lose 2-0 trying to get something out of the game, so if Alan Judge's shot goes in off the bar then it's a different story. "I was disappointed that we went a little ragged after they scored but we have some good players here and they will go on to have a great season." The officer Sen Con Scott Mason, from Cue in Western Australia, first rescued Cuejo the joey in March after his mother was hit and killed by a truck. Cuejo had a second brush with death on 27 April when a wedge-tailed eagle grabbed him in the Burringurrah police station yard. Sen Con Mason said the eagle lifted Cuejo over a 2m-high fence. He told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that he chased after the eagle, which landed a short distance away. A second eagle joined the attack, but Sen Con Mason frightened the birds while Cuejo bolted away. "I finally caught up with him a few hundred metres down the way and found out that he was bleeding quite heavily," he said. Cuejo suffered wounds to his chest and face, and lost hair from his back. The little kangaroo is the star of the Cue Police Twitter account and sometimes hops around after Sen Con Mason on duties. The 40-year-old sealed her spot at Sunday's final qualifying event at the Rio Olympic venue. Chusovitina has previously competed internationally for the Soviet Union, Unified Team, Uzbekistan and Germany before switching back to Uzbekistan. She has won two Olympic and 11 World Championship medals during her career. She helped the Unified Team win team gold at her first Olympics at Barcelona 1992 and won vault silver for Germany at Beijing 2008. Rose, who did not attend the induction ceremony on Saturday, declined the honour earlier this week, saying he felt neither "wanted or respected". An on-stage reference to Rose drew boos at the event, attended by other members of the rock band's line-up. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys and Donovan were among others honoured. Rose was not the only no-show at the lengthy ceremony, held at Cleveland's Public Hall in front of a 6,000-strong audience. Rod Stewart also bowed out, a case of flu preventing him from being celebrated alongside members of The Small Faces and The Faces. The Beastie Boys - only the third hip-hop act to enter the Hall of Fame - were also without one of their members, Adam "MCA" Yauch. Bette Midler, Smokey Robinson and Chris Rock were among those presenting honours at a five-and-a-half hour event that climaxed with an all-star "jam". With no single party getting a majority, there are two big possibilities. And there will also need to be a new presiding officer after the previous one left the assembly. So, what might happen? With 29 seats, Labour are playing down the idea of a formal coalition. But, even if there were to be some sort of deal, it is inconceivable Labour could share power with the Tories or the newly-elected UKIP contingent. Senior Tories not long ago were pinning hopes on a leadership change in Plaid Cymru to allow for a coalition of the smaller parties - but with just one Lib Dem AM, a block of seven UKIP members and Labour having 29 seats it appears highly unlikely. Both Labour and Plaid said they were fighting to win the election and govern alone, but Plaid and Labour have worked together before and before the election there was some speculation that a repeat coalition could happen. Labour's manifesto omits references to how many councils the party would like to see in Wales following mergers, and which type of M4 relief road route Carwyn Jones would like to build. It is that kind of wriggle room that could help make a deal possible. One slight problem, in addition to Labour having nearly half the seats in the assembly chamber, is that Plaid and Labour have given the public impression of not getting on. The worst outbreak of ill-feeling between Labour and Plaid came on the last full day of plenary business in 2016, when public services minister Leighton Andrews dubbed a deal between the two over local government reform a "cheap date". It was a joke, but the suggestion Plaid's support was easily won was a disaster for the government. Some of Plaid's AMs had planned to vote with the government after coming to a deal on an e-cigarette ban in some public places, but Mr Andrews' quip galvanised the whole group to join the rest of the opposition and block the Public Health Bill. Since then, Labour has used up a great deal of energy attacking Plaid's policies, and Plaid made an entire campaign platform posing as an alternative to the incumbents. That is not the only factor in the way of a coalition deal - the idea just does not seem to fit into Plaid's long-term plan. Political commentator Daran Hill said: "It's a profound issue for Plaid. The way they were behaving in conference, the way that their big thinkers were talking, it doesn't seem that they want to be in a junior-coalition scenario with Labour any time soon. "They have been there and they are hoping for something different." Mr Hill said the only quick coalition option was likely to be between Labour and the Liberal Democrats "if they have enough votes between them". However, he said even that option would need to be signed off by the individual parties. He noted that Mr Jones did not attack the Liberal Democrats in his speech in Wrexham last Monday. "He attacked all the other parties," he said. The last Labour administration was a minority government, with 30 seats. The party now has 29, and minority rule seems likely to be the order of the day again. The emergence of a clearer left-right split in the assembly - with UKIP's presence - could encourage parties nearer the left to at least support each other short of a coalition. There have been calls already for a progressive alliance of sorts, with Labour-supporting academics having urged Labour voters to vote Plaid on the regional ballot paper. Before the election, Daran Hill speculated that a minority-government scenario similar to what happened in 2007 might occur again. Back then, Labour started the term as a minority administration and formed a coalition with Plaid later. However in 2007 it had 26 seats, rather than the 29 it secured on Thursday. It is expected the assembly will reconvene next week, probably Wednesday, at which point AMs will have to select who they want to be their next presiding officer. Dame Rosemary Butler, the former AM for Newport West, served as presiding officer in the last assembly term but has stood down. Daran Hill said: "I have never known a situation where presiding officer and deputy presiding officers weren't in some way influenced by a deal for forming a government. "It's entirely a question of numbers." He said that with 29 seats, Labour's view on who should be the presiding officer could be different from what it might have been if it won 26. The commentator said that, under assembly rules, the two positions of deputy presiding officer and presiding officer need to be split between an opposition party and the governing party. He suggested that, with 29 seats, Labour could ask other parties to suspend those rules so the assembly could have two presiding officers from opposing parties, giving the party a majority. "You need politicians that can reach out to other parties," Mr Hill said. He said several names were being suggested as future presiding officers. Conservative AM David Melding would be a credible candidate, Mr Hill said, adding that fellow Tories Suzy Davies and Paul Davies were also the kind of figures who could take the role. He said he had heard Labour candidates Jane Hutt and Joyce Watson mentioned as possible presiding officers, while some had talked of Kirsty Williams doing the job after being elected as a lone Lib Dem. Meanwhile, Mr Hill suggested Plaid's Elin Jones might also be suitable. Officers said the animal's head, face and ears had been cut in the attack using an "unknown sharp instrument". Its remains were found on a farm in Netherby, near Longtown, and officers believe the attack happened sometime between Thursday and Friday. A spokesman for Cumbria Police is appealing for anyone with information to get in touch. Real led through Nacho's controversial free-kick before Ronaldo pounced on a rebound to double their lead. Stevan Jovetic replied after the break, but Ronaldo's sensational second strike, his 401st for Real Madrid, and Toni Kroos' late goal sealed victory. Real Madrid stay in second place behind Barcelona who beat Las Palmas 4-1. Reigning champions Barcelona, who beat Las Palmas 4-1 on Sunday, keep hold of top spot courtesy of their head-to-head advantage. But Real have a game in hand and need four points from their final two matches to lift their first title since 2012. The home side found themselves in front after 10 minutes courtesy of Nacho's quick-fire free-kick. When Marco Asensio was fouled outside the box, referee Umdiano Mallenco awarded the free-kick and with the Sevilla defenders still remonstrating, Nacho seized the initiative striking the ball into an unguarded net. But Ronaldo will take the plaudits, scoring his 400th and 401st goals for Real Madrid in just 391 appearances, and drawing level with Jimmy Greaves on 366 as the all-time top-scorer in the top five European leagues. The 32-year-old's tap-in from six yards was one of the easier of his goals but his second - a strike from a tricky angle just inside the box - matched the occasion. Sevilla had their chances in the first half - Stevan Jovetic twice hit the woodwork before forcing goalkeeper Keylor Navas into a top-class diving save. Former Manchester City striker Jovetic pulled one back for the visitors with a fabulous finish minutes after the break. But Zinedine Zidane's side held off the nerves and will now play their game in hand at Celta Vigo on Wednesday. Despite having won just three of their last 11 matches, Sevilla still secured fourth place and a spot in the Champions League play-off next season as Villarreal were held at home to Deportivo La Coruna.

Small elites, educated at independent schools and Oxbridge, still dominate top roles, suggests the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission study. It says key institutions do not represent the public they serve. The Headmasters and Headmistresses Conference of top private heads called the study "unreasonable and unfair". HMC chairman Richard Harman, headmaster of Uppingham School, said that to suggest that a high number of people in positions of influence were there simply because they went to private schools was "lazy stereotyping and underestimates the diversity within the sector". 71% of senior judges 62% of senior armed forces officers 55% of top civil servants 36% of the Cabinet 43% of newspaper columnists Commission chairman Alan Milburn said the UK's top jobs remain "disproportionately held by people from a narrow range of backgrounds". "The institutions that matter appear to be a cosy club." Mr Milburn told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the report serves as a "wake-up call" to schools, universities and government. He said: "We want the best people in the top jobs, the concern of this is the dominance they exercise. "If there is one thing that unlocks this huge challenge for the country about the excessive dominance at the top it is the improvements in education." "Locking out a diversity of talents and experiences makes Britain's leading institutions less informed, less representative and ultimately less credible than they should be," warned Mr Milburn in his foreword to the report. "This risks narrowing the conduct of public life to a small few who are very familiar with each other but far less familiar with the day-to-day challenges facing ordinary people in the country. "That is not a recipe for a healthy democratic society." The commission says its findings are based on one of the most detailed analyses of its type ever undertaken. It found that those who had attended fee-paying schools included: Also privately educated were 45% of chairmen and women of public bodies, 44% of the Sunday Times Rich List, 43% of newspaper columnists and 26% of BBC executives. In sport, 35% of the England, Scotland and Wales rugby union teams and 33% of the England cricket team also went to private schools. In politics, half the House of Lords attended independent schools, along with 36% of the cabinet, 33% of MPs and 22% of the shadow cabinet. This compares with 7% of the UK population as a whole. Figures for top people who went to Oxford and Cambridge paint a similar picture. Some 75% of senior judges, 59% of the Cabinet, 57% of permanent secretaries, 50% of diplomats, 47% of newspaper columnists, 38% of the House of Lords, 33% of the shadow cabinet and 24% of MPs hold Oxbridge degrees. In contrast, less than 1% of the whole population are Oxbridge graduates while 62% did not attend university, says the study. The report describes the figures as "elitism so stark that it could be called social engineering". The authors recognise that many talented people attend independent schools and top universities, with 32% of those with AAA or better in last year's A-level results attending private schools. However, they ask whether top jobs are about what you know or who you know and whether some talent is being locked out. The report calls for a national effort to "break open" Britain's elite, with: Sir Anthony Seldon, the master of Wellington College in Berkshire, says every independent school should start an academy - something his school has overseen. He said: "We need to be more radical than [Alan Milburn] is currently proposing. "If we look more at those state schools that are doing very well, they are very heavily dominated by the middle classes. "They are the grammar schools, they are the academies and comprehensives in strongly middle class areas. "I think to be obsessed, as Alan is by private schools, is just a little bit out of date." Mr Harman said the key to improving social mobility was to allow more young people to access independent schools through bursaries and scholarships. He said their strength was in developing pupils' talents, creativity, character and individuality, as well as achieving high academic results. "We are part of the solution not the root of the problem." The Sutton Trust, which campaigns for greater social mobility through education, welcomed the recommendations. "It is clear more needs to be done at government level to address the issue," said policy director Lee Elliot Major. Prof Steve West, chairman of the University Alliance group of business and technology-focused universities, urged a "major rethink of what success looks like in the 21st Century". "There is a massive breadth of routes to success and huge diversity of opportunity in the global, technology-rich graduate employment market." A spokeswoman for Oxford University said the institution devoted "a huge amount of resource to widening access and student support" but added that diversifying intake would require wider action. "Social mobility is an issue stretching back to birth and beyond and early inequality of attainment is one of the major barriers to progression." The company said that the statue would allow guests to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Mr Modi and even grab a selfie with him. It added that Mr Modi had a "massive social media presence" and there was "intense public interest" in him. Indian social media was quick to jump on the opportunity to poke some fun. Many tweets addressed Mr Modi's legendary love for selfies, photo opportunities and cameras in general. A video of him appearing to shove Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg out of the way for a photo opportunity while he was visiting the company head office, caused much hilarity in India. So it was perhaps unsurprising that a lot of reaction tweets wondered if the wax statue would be as "camera ready" as Mr Modi: Other tweets couldn't resist puns on "wax" and "expressions": And what of Mr Modi's reaction? "Madame Tussauds has crafted figures of very distinguished dignitaries from around the world - how could I regard myself worthy of being alongside them? But when I was informed that your decision had emanated from public opinion and public sentiment, I was comforted," he said in a statement released by the company. The Bank of England has announced that the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is to be extended. Until now, only the first £85,000 in an account has been protected by the guarantee. But from 3 July, anyone who has up to £1m in their account for up to six months could also get compensation. This could include people who have a lot of money in the bank because they have just sold a house - or who have received pay-outs as a result of "life events". The following groups of people could also benefit: Anyone claiming compensation under the new rules will have to prove to the FSCS that they had money in the bank temporarily. The rule change follows a consultation by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), which began in October 2014. It happened at the premises on Scarlet Street in the town shortly before 08.30 local time on Tuesday. The injured man, who is in his 30s, is an employee at the pharmacy. A man in his 30s is expected to appear in court on Wednesday. Lord Lucan vanished from his family home in London in 1974 following the death of family nanny Sandra Rivett. An inquest found he murdered her. There has since been speculation and stories about what happened to him. His son, George Bingham, told the West End Extra newspaper the application would provide "closure". Sandra Rivett, nanny to the 7th Earl of Lucan's three children, was found murdered at the family home at 46 Lower Belgrave Street in central London on 7 November 1974. Lord Lucan's car was found abandoned and soaked in blood in Newhaven, East Sussex. The following year an inquest jury found he murdered her. Despite the fact Lord Lucan was officially declared dead by the High Court in 1999, there have been reported sightings of him in Australia, Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand, and even claims he lived in India as a hippy called "Jungly Barry". Mr Bingham, who was a child when his father disappeared, told West End Extra he was applying to the High Court under the Presumption of Death Act, which came into effect a year ago. He said the 1999 declaration had not proved death "for all purposes" and the new law allowed for a "more complete process". Mr Bingham previously applied to take his father's title in 1999 but his application was denied by the Lord Chancellor because he was "not satisfied" by his case. The Presumption of Death Act was the result of a campaign supported by relatives of high-profile missing people including chef Claudia Lawrence, who disappeared in York in 2009, and Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richey Edwards, who went missing in 1995. Commissioner Nóirín O'Sullivan denied a decision to refer the matter to GSOC was meant to keep it from the public. It follows the revelation that large sums of EU funding were put in a bank account in a former officer's name. The parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has also been investigating the allegations. For several months, the PAC has been investigating how accounts at the training college in Templemore, County Tipperary, including one designed to cover laundry bills, were used for other purposes including paying restaurant and entertainment bills. Commissioner O'Sullivan has, in the past, described what happened at Templemore and the evidence of poor financial controls there as a legacy issue. The money involved in the GSOC investigation came from an EU-funded training programme, and the commissioner told the PAC the account predates her time and that of her predecessor as commissioner, Martin Callinan. She said the account operated from Dublin over an 11-year period, from 1999 until it was closed in 2010. She said her understanding was that this was a police account and that the amounts in it ranged from 5,000 euros (£4,000) to just over 90,000 euros (£79,000). The recent revelations about Templemore come at a difficult time for Ms O'Sullivan, who has faced several opposition calls to stand down over a number of issues, including her handling of police whistle-blowers and the disclosure that police officers had significantly exaggerated the number of breathalyser tests carried out. With a new taoiseach (prime minister), Leo Varadkar, and a new justice minister, Charlie Flanagan, there is considerable interest in political circles in Dublin about whether the new office holders will show the same support for Commissioner O'Sullivan that their predecessors and the previous cabinet did. Labour's Rupa Huq criticised Citizen Khan's depiction of a "quite backward" family of Muslims. The show was accused of stereotyping Muslims when it started in 2012 and its creator, Adil Ray, has told the Radio Times he had received death threats. The BBC said the award-winning show had received much positive feedback. But Ms Huq, MP for Ealing Central and Acton, whose sister Konnie is a former Blue Peter presenter, said: "I feel as if I didn't know what the year is ... you would think it's an everyday tale of a Birmingham family of Muslims but they're really quite backward. "Again, the Islamophobic point [Labour MP Chuka Umunna] made, it's a beardy weirdy chap and they're not quite cutting off people's hands but I can imagine that being in a future episode." Citizen Khan prompted complaints when it launched in 2012 and Mr Ray has previously said he had received abuse from people who believed it was making fun of Islam or stereotyping Muslims. But the show has won various awards at the Royal Television Society and Asian Media Awards. A BBC spokesman said: "The fact that Citizen Khan returns for its fifth series this year is a sign of its popularity with all audiences - indeed the show has won several awards, including Best TV character at the Asian Media Awards. "We've also had positive comments from members of the Muslim community for the show and for creator Adil Ray who, like the family portrayed, is a British Pakistani Muslim. As with all sitcoms the characters are comic creations and not meant to be representative of the community as a whole." Ms Huq made her comments during a backbench debate called by former culture minister David Lammy. Mr Lammy accused the BBC of hiring "the same old faces from the same old schools to the same old jobs" and said he had been contacted by black and Asian BBC staff who said "that they cannot speak up because they do not want to be labelled a troublemaker". He also said the Chinese community was "totally invisible" on the broadcaster and said the BBC's new charter must address the lack of progress in boosting ethnic minority representation. He said although the BBC ran 29 schemes aimed at ethnic minorities between 1999 and 2014, the situation was not improving and the proportion of ethnic minority staff had dropped from 13.1% in 2015 to 12.2% now. The Labour MP for Tottenham praised the diversity of children's television, BBC Three and documentaries but questioned whether there was sufficient diversity in management. He said: "We all go into Broadcasting House and see the security, see black staff at the junior ends, but walk into that newsroom, think about the editorial decisions that are being made, and ask yourself, is that really representative of our country as a whole?" Conservative MP Helen Grant suggested the BBC could voluntarily disclose data on the recruitment, retention, promotion and pay of staff from ethnic minorities. Labour Sunderland Central MP Julie Elliott said the BBC should reflect every region in the UK, adding that Salford - where MediaCity UK is a major BBC base - was "not where the North ends". Earlier, Mr Umunna attacked the "representation of our Muslim communities" on TV. He said "rising Islamophobia" could partly be blamed on broadcasters' use of "community leaders who purport to speak for that community but have no mandate whatsoever to do so". The BBC said it was "making good progress" on becoming more diverse but said it would continue to develop "new and innovative ideas to do even better" and would soon be setting out its new diversity strategy. "Almost half of our workforce is made up of women and the proportion of our workforce who are black, Asian and other ethnic minority is at an all-time high," the spokesman added. The 21-year-old hit 39 sixes, including five off the final over, as he posted a round 300 and his team Maavi finished on 416-2. His total dwarfs the top-tier record of 175 scored by Chris Gayle in the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL). "I have put my name in the IPL auction but I am not sure if this will help people notice," Ahlawat told ABP Live. Ahlawat played three first-class matches for Delhi in October 2015 alongside India internationals such as Gautam Gambhir and Ishant Sharma. He was dropped after scores of 1, 4, 0, 0 and 0 in his five innings. Find out how to get into cricket with our inclusive guide. Sri Lankan Dhanuka Pathirana smashed 277 off 72 balls playing for Austerlands in a Twenty20 match in England's Saddleworth League in September 2007 while Indian schoolboy Pranav Dhanawade set a new record for an officially recorded match with 1,009 not out in January 2016. His total for KC Gandhi School broke a 117-year-old mark set by 13-year-old AEJ Collins in a house match at Clifton College in June 1899. Yusra Hussien, from Easton in Bristol, took an indirect flight to Turkey last week and is believed to be travelling with a 17-year-old girl from London. Detectives said the priority was to find Yusra and "make sure she is safe". Her family rejected claims she has become a "Jihadist bride", saying there was "no concrete evidence" of this. Avon and Somerset Police said the investigation has been taken over by the South East Counter Terrorism Unit. "They have strong international links which places them in the best position to pursue the investigation overseas and try to find Yusra and bring her home," a force spokesman said. "We will continue to work closely with the family and the community in Bristol." Yusra's mother, Safiya Hussien, said she loved and missed her daughter. "We miss you so, so much. Please come home," she said. The family appealed to the media not to speculate about what has happened to Yusra. Aunt Sucdi Ali said her niece was a "typical teenager" and added they "were not here to talk about Isis" but to talk about Yusra. She said: "The point here is there is a teenage girl who is missing." Another aunt, Ikram Mohammed, said Yusra was "missed and was not in trouble" and said the family "was not angry and just wanted her back home". The family said: "Yusra, our daughter is a very young, bright, bubbly girl who is loved by not only her family but her peers, teachers and her community. "She loves to play table tennis and to ride her bicycle and she used to run with her brother, who's the next Mo Farah." They said they were "very heartbroken" and said "every parent would relate to the pain" of not knowing if their child was safe. Yusra was reported missing by her parents, who last saw her at about 07:00 BST on 24 September. They said their daughter left for school as usual but was not there when her father went to pick her up at 15:30. Police have been tracing the schoolgirl's movements from the moment she left her Easton home to her arrival in Istanbul. Assistant Chief Constable Louisa Rolfe, from Avon and Somerset Police, said it was a "really sensitive investigation" and they were doing "everything nationally and internationally" to find Yusra. She said: "We suspect she may have been influenced by others to leave the UK. "It may have been online, it's possible that she's had contact with others directly before she left the UK, but there is no suggestion that this is directly linked with our community in Bristol. "We don't have information to suggest she's gone to fight." Ms Rolfe said police knew "exactly when and where" she had bought her ticket and "it wasn't at the airport". She also said Yusra had "not taken a direct flight" to Istanbul but that she arrived in the Turkish city within 24 hours of leaving the UK. It has emerged as a major transit country for refugees and migrants heading through the Western Balkans to Germany and Scandinavia. But while the vast majority of migrants pass through Austria, a significant number are staying here. Last year, over 90,000 people applied for asylum in Austria. That represents more than 1% of the population of this small country of 8.5 million. Norway sends migrants back to Russia Turkey 'acting illegally' over Syria refugees Tightened borders give migrants chill Migrant crisis in depth Iman, from Mosul in Iraq, was one of the new arrivals who applied for asylum. Last autumn, she rushed up to me as I was filming outside Austria's main asylum processing centre at Traiskirchen south of Vienna. "I want to say the people in Austria, they are like angels," she said loudly, so that the group of Austrian volunteers handing out shoes and clothes nearby could hear what she was saying. "We lose everything, but the Austrian people, they give us everything we need, she said. "Thank you Austria, thank you Austrian people for letting us live among them." But while many Austrians are sympathetic to the plight of the refugees and have turned out to help the authorities and NGOs in their well-organised aid efforts, there is also growing concern about how many more migrants will arrive here in the coming months. Support is increasing for the anti-immigrant, far-right Freedom Party. It is in opposition but is currently surging ahead in the opinion polls. In a fiery new-year speech, Freedom Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache said that "migration is not a human right". "Whoever thought it was a good idea to allow hundreds of thousands of young men from Arab states to travel into Europe without controls", he hoped they had now changed their minds. The crisis has put pressure on the Austrian government and caused tensions between the coalition parties. Over recent weeks, ministers from the junior coalition partner, the conservative People's Party, have been calling for a cap on asylum seekers. Austria should be made "less attractive" to migrants, said conservative Finance Minister Hans Joerg Schelling. Until recently, Austria's Chancellor Werner Faymann, a outspoken critic of the restrictive policies of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, had resisted the conservatives' demands. But this week he announced that he wanted to "drastically reduce" the number of people allowed to claim asylum. On Wednesday, the coalition, along with representatives from Austria's provincial and city governments showed a united front, after a summit on asylum. Austria, the chancellor said, would take measures to reduce refugee numbers. These include tougher border controls and a cap on the number of people allowed to claim asylum here. Over the next four years, the government plans to limit total asylum claims to about 127,500, which represents 1.5% of the population. It was not immediately clear what would happen if and when that limit was reached. "They don't really know how they will prevent refugees coming across the border," said political analyst Thomas Hofer. "They are happy they could agree on something. They are trying to calm down the atmosphere in Austria." Legal experts say under current EU asylum law and the Geneva Refugee Convention, a cap on asylum claims by an individual country is not really possible. A decision on sharing out the burden of refugees would need to be taken at EU level. Mr Faymann admitted that this was an "emergency solution, a Plan B", necessary only because the EU was not delivering a Europe-wide response to the refugee crisis. On Austria's borders, the lack of a European solution is clearly visible. At Schaerding, near the frontier with Germany, dozens of migrants are sent back to Austria every day. Some are hoping to travel north to Scandinavia and don't want to claim asylum in Germany or Austria. Others are economic migrants from countries such as Iran, who are refused entry to Germany. Back in Austria they are regarded as illegal immigrants, but the Austrian authorities cannot hold them for more than 48 hours. "Many of them simply try again to cross into Germany," one policeman told me. "And it's a domino effect - it's happening from Sweden to Greece." Lauter played chauffer to the female character Peppy Miller, played by Oscar nominee actress Berenice Bejo. Publicist Edward Lozzi said Lauter died on Wednesday of mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lung, commonly caused by asbestos exposure. He also starred in ER and opposite Burt Reynolds in 1974's The Longest Yard. Released under the title of The Mean Machine in the UK, Lauter played a sadistic prison guard whose team squares up to Reynolds' team of misfit convicts in a game of American Football. He also starred in a 2005 remake, starring Adam Sandler. The original landed him a starring role in Alfred Hitchcock's final movie Family Plot in 1976. Last year, Lauter starred with Clint Eastwood and Justin Timberlake in the baseball movie Trouble With the Curve. The actor, who started out as a stand up comic was also famed for his impersonations of movie stars. Lozzi told the Hollywood Reporter: "He called me as Clint Eastwood from the set of Trouble With the Curve last year. We really thought it was Eastwood!" He was also known to do impersonations of black and white stars James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. Born in Long Island, New York in 1938, Lauter made his Broadway debut in the original 1968 stage production of The Great White Hope, which also starred James Earl Jones. His TV debut was came in a 1971 episode of private eye series Mannix and he made his first big screen appearance in the Western, Dirty Little Billy. Standing at 6ft 2in and prematurely bald with a long, square face, Lauter was often cast as thugs or stern authority figures. He was quoted as saying: "I like those roles. Lee Marvin once told me, 'When you play a heavy, every once in a while make the audience like you a little bit. Then they'll think, 'Wait a minute, he's not such a bad guy. Did you see the way he petted that dog?'" Lauter played the recurring character Dick Healy in the US version of Shameless and had several projects in post-production. A charitable foundation is being established to honour his work and an annual scholarship fund will be awarded to aspiring young actors. His family, which includes four children and his wife of eight years, Mia, have asked that donations be made to the foundation.

Kepler 11145123 is a distant, slowly rotating star that's more than twice the size of the Sun. Researchers were able to show that the difference between its radius as measured to the equator and the radius measured to the poles was just 3km. "This makes Kepler 11145123 the roundest natural object ever measured," said lead author Prof Laurent Gizon. He added that it was "even more round than the Sun". Prof Gizon, from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS), and his colleagues used a technique called asteroseismology - the study of how stars pulsate, or oscillate. Nasa's Kepler space telescope observed the star's oscillations continuously for more than four years. The periodic expansions and contractions of Kepler 11145123 can be gleaned from fluctuations in its brightness. And from these data, astronomers were able to extract information about its shape. Using the method, Prof Gizon and his colleagues discovered that the star rotated faster at the surface than in the core, contributing to an unexpected rounding of its form. The difference of 3km, between the polar and equatorial radii, is tiny compared to the star's mean radius of 1.5 million km. The authors say that this distortion is probably caused by factors other than rotation alone. They suggest that a weak magnetic field surrounds the star, making the star appear even more rounded. The research is published in the journal Science Advances. Follow Paul on Twitter.

Astronomers claim to have discovered the roundest object ever measured in nature.

The 22-year-old hit six fours and three sixes and put on 112 with Steven Croft as the visitors recovered from 26-3 to post 258-9 at Canterbury. In response Kent collapsed to 95-6 with Jordan Clark (2-27) and Stephen Parry (3-60) doing most of the damage. Alex Blake hit back, scoring a superb 89 off 56 balls but was bowled by James Faulkner as Kent were all out for 207. Livingstone, who has made 13 T20 appearances for the Red Rose county, fell nine short of his century when he miscued a ramp shot off Darren Stevens to hand the all-rounder an easy caught-and-bowled chance. With both teams innings defined by one player, Blake attempted to outclass and outscore his Lancashire counterpart, hitting five fours and seven sixes in his innings but his efforts were in vain as he ran out of partners. It was Lancashire's second victory of the competition, who are now level on points with Kent on five, and with two matches remaining both side's can still qualify for the quarter-finals. Three-time Tour de France champion Froome had started the day needing to make up one minute 12 seconds on Australia's Orica-Scott rider Howson. He launched a couple of attacks over Sunday's fourth stage near Melbourne but was unable to narrow the deficit. "Tactically we made some very different choices this year," Froome, 31, said. "It didn't pay off for us, it went in Damien Howson's favour and hats off to him, he's ridden a really good race." Froome's compatriot and Team Sky team-mate Stannard beat New Zealand's Aaron Gate as 10 riders vied for the stage win. Howson cemented his first overall race win by finishing in the peloton alongside Froome 17 seconds later. The final 121km (75 miles) stage featured four laps of Kinglake, with a 9km ascent on each circuit but the climbs were not difficult enough for Froome to engineer a break and he finished the day as he started it, in sixth place. Meanwhile, Nario Quintana, twice a runner-up to Froome in the Tour de France, started his season with a victory at the Tour of Valencia in Spain. The Colombian is targeting a Giro d'Italia-Tour de France double in 2017. Stage four result: 1. Ian Stannard (GB/Team Sky) 2hrs 52mins 44secs 2. Aaron Gate (NZ/Aqua Blue Sport) Same time 3.

The interfaith event took place hours after thousands said farewell to his coffin passing through city streets. Ali was buried in a private ceremony attended by friends and family. The ex-heavyweight champion and rights activist died last Friday aged 74. The service, attended by dignitaries and by several thousand people who acquired free tickets, was held at the KFC Yum! Centre. After a Koran reading, local Protestant minister Kevin Cosby set the tone of the event, saying that Muhammad Ali had "infused in Africans a sense of somebodiness". "Before James Brown said 'I'm black and I'm proud', Muhammad Ali said 'I'm black and I'm pretty'," he said. Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of a progressive Jewish magazine, used his speech to launch a blistering attack on injustice against black people and Muslims. "The way to honour Muhammad Ali is to be Muhammad Ali today," he said. "Speak out and refuse to follow the path of conformity." Later Valerie Jarrett, an aide to President Obama who knew the boxer personally, read a letter from the president describing Ali as "bigger, brighter and more influential than just about anyone in his era". "You couldn't have made him up, and yes, he was pretty too," Mr Obama wrote. "Muhammad Ali was America. Muhammad Ali will always be America. What a man." The president was not there, as he was attending his eldest daughter Malia's graduation. Former US President Bill Clinton described Ali as "a free man of faith". He said: "I think he decided very young to write his own life story. I think he decided that he would not be ever disempowered. Not his race, not his place, not the expectations of others whether positive or negative would strip from him the power to write his own story." Ali's wife Lonnie paid tribute to her husband. She told the crowd: "If Muhammad didn't like the rules, he rewrote them. His religion, his beliefs, his name were his to fashion, no matter what the cost. "Muhammad wants young people of every background to see his life as proof that adversity can make you stronger. It cannot rob you of the power to dream, and to reach your dreams." Latest updates Look back at the life of the ultimate fighter The comedian Billy Crystal delivered a eulogy peppered with jokes, laughing at the length of the service and saying that his beard had grown since it started. Then he said that "35 years after he stopped fighting, [Ali was] still the champion of the world". He said: "He was a tremendous bolt of lightning created by Mother Nature. Muhammad Ali struck us in the middle of America's darkest night and his intense light shone on America and we were able to see clearly." Among those attending the service is King Abdullah of Jordan. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended Thursday's prayer ceremony and had been due at the service, but cut short his visit to the US. The reasons for his departure are not clear, though there are reports of differences with the funeral's organisers. The motorcade procession began at about 10:35 local time (14:35 GMT), more than an hour behind schedule, and took the coffin past Ali's childhood home, the Ali Center, the Center for African American Heritage and then down Muhammad Ali Boulevard. Onlookers lining the roadside waved, took photos and chanted "Ali, Ali" as a cortege led by the hearse carrying his coffin drove through the downtown area. The man who changed his sport and his country 'No sportsman has touched more lives' Obituary: Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali in his own words What made him so great? Fans threw flowers at the hearse and rose petals were scattered along the route. In one neighbourhood, several young men ran alongside the vehicle carrying a placard which read: "Ali is the greatest, thanks 4 all the memories." The cortege then brought the coffin to the Cave Hill cemetery, where Muhammad Ali was buried in a private ceremony. Actor Will Smith and ex-boxer Lennox Lewis were among the pallbearers. 61 fights over a professional career lasting 21 years 56 wins including 37 knockouts 3 times crowned World Heavyweight Champion 1 Light-heavyweight Olympic gold medal 31 straight wins before being beaten by Joe Frazier In 1964, Ali famously converted to Islam, changing his name from Cassius Clay, which he called his "slave name". He first joined the Nation of Islam, a controversial black separatist movement, before later converting to mainstream Islam. In his boxing career, he fought a total of 61 times as a professional, losing five times and winning 37 bouts by knockout. Soon after he retired, rumours began to circulate about the state of his health. Parkinson's Syndrome was eventually diagnosed but Ali continued to make public appearances, receiving warm welcomes wherever he travelled. He lit the Olympic cauldron at the 1996 Games in Atlanta and carried the Olympic flag at the opening ceremony for the 2012 Games in London. He was crowned "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Illustrated and "Sports Personality of the Century" by the BBC. A man in his 20s was arrested at an address in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, at about 12:45 BST. Two men in their 20s and 30s were arrested shortly after at two properties in the Luton area of Bedfordshire. All three were arrested on suspicion of involvement in commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Searches are under way at two addresses in the Luton area as part of the investigation, a spokesman said. Armed police from the Met's Specialist Firearms Command were involved in assisting with one of the arrests, but no shots were fired, Scotland Yard said. The arrests and searches are part of an ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism, the spokesman added. Her first "punter" was Steve Wright, the man who eight years later became a serial killer as he murdered five of her friends over a six-week period. A heroin addict by the age of 17, she had decided selling her body would be an "easy way" to pay for her habit. As she waited on a street corner in Ipswich's red light district in the winter of 1998, it was not long before she was approached by Wright. They agreed a price of £40 for sex and went to a nearby riverside spot. "He wasn't rude or aggressive to me," she said. "He was a normal punter." It was only eight years later, following the murder of five of her friends in Ipswich, that she thought back to that night. News had broken in December 2006 that Wright was being questioned over the killings in the Suffolk town. "I was told by a journalist that Steve Wright was the man who had been arrested and I instantly remembered that he was my first punter," she said. "I couldn't quite believe it. I hadn't really thought any more about it, to be honest. He wasn't a regular of mine or anything. I think I went with him about six times in all." Wright was convicted of murdering Gemma Adams, 25, Tania Nicol, 19, Anneli Alderton, 24, Paula Clennell, 24, and Annette Nicholls, 29, following a trial at Ipswich Crown Court. But by the time he was handed a whole life sentence in February 2008, Miss Reynolds was already on the way to rebuilding her life. The murders of the five women, including her close friend Miss Nicholls, had given her a new determination to beat her addiction and get off the streets. "I felt alone and lost when Annette was murdered," she said. "The one person I had been able to talk to about my problems wasn't here. "I just decided that was it. I couldn't live like that anymore, squatting and doing drugs. "It scared me knowing how close to death I had come." In 2007, the Suffolk Prostitution and Sexual Exploitation Strategy was started, aimed at targeting kerb crawlers and helping women involved in the sex trade. Miss Reynolds, who lives in south-west Ipswich, was among the first to receive help. "They helped me with appointments, care plans, benefits claims, my housing, all things like that," she said. "I was in a rat-infested flat for a while and they found me somewhere else. It was all the type of help that I never had before." After spending time in rehabilitation, Miss Reynolds worked hard to beat her addiction. She was supported by the multi-agency Make A Change team, a partnership involving councils, police, probation services, health workers and the border agency. "Without Make A Change I'd probably still be in the gutter in all fairness," she said. "I think my addiction may have got the better of me. If I hadn't have had the police and the Make A Change team I could easily have been one of Steve Wright's victims." Miss Reynolds, 29, said she was now determined to pass on her experience to help others. She helps her local neighbourhood police team on a voluntary basis and supports others suffering from addictions. She also recently spoke to students at her former school in Ipswich. "I gave a talk about my experiences and it seemed to go well," she said. "I wouldn't wish prostitution or heroin on anyone. I lost five of my friends because of it." Miss Reynolds said she had become hooked after initially "dabbling" with drugs - and it is a trap she does not want other people to fall into. She spent eight years working the streets of Ipswich and was arrested about 10 times for the offence. "I decided prostitution was an easy way to go," she said. "I was already sexually active and thought 'why not get paid for it?' "If you'd have told me in 2006 that I would be working with the police six years later I would've said that's not possible. "I can now live a normal life, pay my bills. I pay my television licence. I cook meals for my friends. "I've now got the rest of my life ahead of me and the world is my oyster." The 25-year-old scored six goals in 45 National League appearances for the Shots this season. Meanwhile, Liam Bellamy, Nicky Deverdics, Chris Kinnear Jr and Sean Raggett have been offered new deals. Craig Braham-Barrett, Naby Diallo, Thomas Murphy, Duane Ofori-Acheampong, Andrew Rafferty have all been released by Whites boss Chris Kinnear. Dover finished fifth in the table in 2015-16 but were beaten in the National League play-offs by Forest Green Rovers, losing 2-1 on aggregate.

On the second day of their tour, Charles and Camilla laid a wreath at a memorial in Trenton, Ontario, alongside a handwritten note by the prince. In total 158 people from Canada died in the conflict which started in 2001. The royal couple also met veterans and serving members of the armed forces. The couple took part in a minute's silence at the memorial to pay tribute to those who lost their lives. At the Trenton Canadian Forces base, the duchess met personnel and their families from the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada. She is the unit's colonel-in-chief. One of them was Adam de Bartok, a warrant officer who completed several tours of Afghanistan. He said: "She asked my wife whether she sat at home and worried. I said 'it goes with the territory'. "I think she understood, she's from a military family. She said 'that's why you're so wonderful' and she was proud to wear the [regiment's] brooch. "It was a huge honour to actually meet her in person, we have her photograph everywhere." Meanwhile, Prince Charles saw a search and rescue operation by the soldiers. The couple began their three-day trip visiting an Inuit settlement near the Arctic circle on Thursday. They listened to traditional throat singing performed by local people and watched craft demonstrations involving silver jewellery. The prince and duchess both tried on a pair of snow goggles, to which the prince joked to his wife: "They match your sparkling personality." The NT government announced reforms to the taxi industry but said it would not be making legislative changes authorising ride-sharing services. US-based Uber currently operates in several other parts of Australia. It has expanded aggressively around the world and faces regulatory battles in several countries. Comments from the public on the ABC's Facebook page questioned the decision, with one person saying Uber was needed in Darwin, particularly for evening transport to and from the airport. The writer said local taxis often refused to pick up passengers at night. Transport Minister Peter Chandler told the ABC the move could be reconsidered later. His office did not responded immediately to questions from the BBC. The visitors started well, with Ross Stearn heading just wide after 10 minutes, but it was the hosts who got the breakthrough with Andrai Jones profiting from Kevin Amankwaah's mistake to make it 1-0 after 37 minutes. Magnus Norman kept the home team in front with a fine save low to his left from Nicky Bailey's spot-kick after 55 minutes. But he was unable to repeat that feat two minutes later when Sutton were awarded a second penalty and Collins made no mistake to score his second of the season. The point was enough to take Southport off rock bottom and above Guiseley, ending a three-match losing run, while Sutton remain 13th.

Ryan Williams, 24, joins from Brentford, while Liam Hughes, 23, has completed a move from Cambridge following a successful trial. Williams is seen as a holding player and spent two seasons with Morecambe in League Two before his switch to The Bees last summer. Hughes had been at Cambridge since 2010 but recently fell out of favour. For thousands of years, fishermen have set off from Zadar for the rich harvest of the Adriatic Sea. More from Croatia Direct Working Lives Croatia Croatia: Life in pictures Croatia country profile There, bobbing on the channel in front of me, was a small boat doing exactly the same in 2013. I waved and beckoned the skipper over. I hoped simple human curiosity would catch me a ride in a fishing boat. Sure enough, as the spring sunshine flickered across the waves, the bow of the open white dinghy turned towards me. "Would you take me round the walled city from the sea?" I asked, with help from Damir - our guide and producer - and about 20 euros (£17: $26). Within moments I was afloat - the perfect place to ponder Croatia's future. This country is about to become the 28th member of the EU, despite some stormy seas for the Union. Listening to all the people I met, there are echoes of the hopes and the fears with which the whole European project began after World War II. Just 20 years ago, the bitter war in the Balkans saw Zadar shelled and under siege from Serbian forces. Drazen Gregurevic, now the deputy mayor, was a doctor in the city treating the wounded. "People learn how to appreciate peace," he told me. "Croatian people know that the European Union is the guarantee for that peace." But this latest EU entry was delayed because Brussels wanted more progress on sorting out a border dispute with neighbouring Slovenia - another former Yugoslav republic - and on hunting down alleged war criminals. "It's important that people know the history of the Balkan war, and who the aggressors were, but we can still trade with them now, it's the only way," Mr Gregurevic says. Inside Europe The European Union Croatia elects MEPs The next eight EU members Over in the fish market, they're not so sure. Branka Cur and her family have been selling what they've caught for 30 years. "I think [EU entry in] July will bring problems. Everything is open," she says gesturing at the beautiful fresh sardines and octopus. "I don't know, I'm not in the government, but we must protect our fish from other countries." Complicated and contested EU rules allow fishing across the seas of member states. It is one of the principles of open markets, but with declining stocks, it is one of the examples of stress among the members. But, with the sharing of some national rights comes the freedom to move across the other states to seek work or markets in return. I spoke to Valerija Lenarcic, a student in the town. "Croatia's much more than a place for tourists. We have potential that even we don't know ourselves, and the EU can help us find it out," she says. It is time to brush up my history, because for thousands of years this country has been pulled between a fierce spirit of independence and the much larger empires that have governed Europe. Arriving in a small bookshop I get out the maps in the history books. The Romans were here, the Venetian State governed what is now the Croatian coast with those fishing stocks, and even the Christian Crusaders even took the town on their way to the Holy Land. The Austro-Hungarian Empire ruled here for years and after 1945 came the Federation of Yugoslavia. "The idea of political co-operation and sharing is beautiful," says Sandra Petricic, who came back here when the city was under siege in the early 1990s to seek her parents. "Communism was a marvellous idea too, but we are only humans. In this time of recession in the EU, I'm not so optimistic," she says. Because just as the 27 countries of the European Union face an economic crisis which has threatened political stability in some member states, it is amazing to think that Croatia is about to join. The architects of the whole EU project came together after two calamitous wars in Europe in just 40 years. The hopes and fears that I heard in Zadar have echoes of those early blueprints for the EU. The Europeans have tried war and division and that didn't work. So, they turned to trade and co-operation. But the stresses still show and that fight is back on between hope and fear. Back on the Adriatic sea, bobbing on that white dingy on the blue waters, it is hard not to think of all that history, and all the current arguments within the EU and think that Croatians who are about to link up with all the other countries must be thinking ,"here we go again". For Nikola Brasic, the architect of Zadar's Sea Organ - a seafront sculpture that uses waves to make sound - it is like orchestra playing together. "Once as a federation we were second violin, and we weren't content with that position. I'm worried that the Croatian note won't be heard enough, and we'll end up playing the triangle," he says. Like so many foreigners who have come to Zadar, I am sure I must come back to seek fresh answers and fresh inspiration by the sea. Mr Lavrov gave no further details about the plan, but it is understood to envisage a truce starting on 1 March. The US is demanding an immediate end to hostilities, as it suspects Russia wants to give Syrian government troops three weeks to crush rebel forces. Russian air strikes are helping the Syrian army advance in Aleppo province. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Raad Al Hussein, wants the world powers to ensure talks in Geneva aimed at finding a political solution to the conflict are reconvened as soon as possible, following their suspension last week. How Putin is succeeding in Syria Displaced Syrians struggle to survive Syria: The story of the conflict "The warring parties in Syria are constantly sinking to new depths, without apparently caring in the slightest about the death and destruction they are wreaking across the country," he said. "It is a grotesque situation." More than 250,000 people have died in almost five years of war in Syria. Eleven million others have fled their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other, as well as jihadist militants from so-called Islamic State (IS). Thursday's meeting of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) in Munich will bring together 17 countries, including both allies and opponents of Mr Assad. Mr Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry met each other before the talks to discuss what the Russian foreign minister described as a "quite specific" ceasefire proposal. "We will wait for the American response before we take it to the ISSG," he added. Moscow has proposed that the ceasefire start on 1 March, but Washington fears that rebel forces might suffer irreversible losses in northern and southern Syria before then, US officials say. Mr Kerry wants a ceasefire to be effective immediately and accompanied by humanitarian organisations being given full access to the 400,000 people trapped in besieged areas. The UN human rights chief earlier expressed "utmost alarm" at the rapidly worsening human rights situation in and around the city of Aleppo. Since the offensive by government forces began on 1 February, dozens of civilians had been killed and some 51,000 displaced, Mr Zeid said, adding that 300,000 others in rebel-held eastern Aleppo were at risk of being placed under siege. Russia's defence ministry said it had carried out almost 1,900 air strikes in Syria over the past week. But it denied that it had bombed two hospitals in Aleppo on Wednesday, stressing that only US aircraft had flown over the city that day. The US military dismissed the claim, calling it "patently false". Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan used a live television address to warn on Thursday that refugee numbers could increase by 600,000 if the Russian strikes continue. Criticising the mounting pressure on Turkey to allow in 30,000 of those displaced by the fighting around Aleppo who are stranded at its border, he said Turkey would be patient up to a point, but then would be forced to take action. The UN Office for the Co-ordination for Humanitarian Affairs separately warned that 120,000 people were trapped in a rebel-held rural area of northern Homs province. Several cases of acute malnutrition among pregnant women and children had been reported, as well as deaths related to lack of medical care, the OCHA said. Activists meanwhile confirmed Kurdish fighters had captured the Menagh airbase, north of Aleppo, after driving out Islamist rebels from the facility overnight. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the Kurdish advance was backed by Russian air strikes. Saudi state television also quoted a military spokesman as saying the kingdom's offer to send ground troops to Syria was an "irreversible decision" and Defence Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman vowed to increase its contribution to the US-led campaign against IS. The large gash, some 400ft (120m) long and 35ft (11m) wide, opened up late on Saturday in Meridian, near the Alabama state line. The area had suffered heavy rains over the past two weeks, the Meridian Star newspaper reported. No-one was injured, and engineers will assess the ground on Monday. Buck Roberts, the director of public safety in Meridian, told the newspaper it did not appear to be a sinkhole, which is usually caused when an underground water aquifer dries and the ground above it collapses. "You can call it what you want, a cave-in or whatever, but it is not a sinkhole," Mr Roberts said. Matthew Seddon, of Reading, died in the crash on the A33 in February 2013. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found some Thames Valley Police officers involved did not know what the guidelines permitted or prevented them from doing. In-car video recording equipment in one pursuing car was also faulty. The force said it had reviewed some policies and training as a result of the case. The IPCC investigated the circumstances of the crash, including examining CCTV and in-car video footage. Nine officers and one member of police staff were served notice that their conduct was under investigation by the IPCC. One officer has since had six penalty points placed on his police driving licence. A headset used in the control room during the pursuit was also found to be faulty, according to the report. At the time of the collision several police vehicles were involved in the pursuit of the 19-year-old's Ford Fiesta which involved speeds of up to 100mph. The pursuit started when Mr Seddon, who was driving on a provisional licence without insurance, failed to stop for an officer. Mr Seddon, who had not been wearing a seat belt, was thrown into the road and hit by one of the pursuing vehicles. Last month, a jury inquest ruled there was insufficient reason to call off the pursuit. IPCC commissioner Derrick Campbell described the crash as a "tragic accident". However, he added: "It is vital that all police officers who engage in pursuits are trained and equipped to make the right decisions." The IPCC recommended Thames Valley Police take steps to improve the reliability of the equipment used in its control rooms and the in-car video recording equipment in its vehicles. Following the investigation, the force held misconduct meetings in respect of five officers involved in the pursuit. One officer was given "management advice" and had six penalty points placed on his driving licence, the IPCC said. No disciplinary action was taken against four other officers, although a case against one officer was proven on one point. Assistant Chief Constable Alan Baldwin said the force had acknowledged the report. "As a result of this tragic case Thames Valley Police has reviewed a number of our policies and our training, and has improved the way we respond to incidents," he said. He said all control room sergeants and supervisors involved in managing police pursuits had also been given additional training "on how to make and record their decisions and actions". Stephen Morgan took the seat with 18,290 votes, pushing sitting Tory MP Flick Drummond into second place. Meanwhile, in the Southampton Itchen constituency there were only 31 votes in it. After three recounts - one of which was described as a "bundle ruffle" - Conservative Royston Smith was declared the winner with 21,773 votes. He beat Labour's Simon Letts who received 21,742 votes. The declarations in Southampton meant it was official that no single party could win an overall majority in parliament and a hung parliament was declared. Elsewhere, Labour held Southampton Test with an increased majority, with the Conservatives winning the remaining seats in Hampshire. The Lib Dems failed to recapture Eastleigh, where Mims Davis increased her lead, but they did slash Steve Brine's majority in Winchester. Following her defeat, outgoing Tory MP Ms Drummond told the BBC: "I didn't want a snap election." She added: "It's a great job and I wish I'd had longer but our manifesto couldn't promise what Labour could and I understand that's what people wanted." Of his shock win, Mr Morgan said: "I wasn't quite expecting this result and I think what we've seen tonight is results that are actually surprising people across the country. "But we offered a really positive manifesto and I hope we get the opportunity to deliver on those commitments that we set out a few weeks ago." Vote Leave complained after the airline hosted an event where George Osborne, Vince Cable and Ed Balls spoke in front of a "Remain in Europe" branded plane. The Commission ruled that while the airline had been campaigning, it had not spent enough to break the law. Campaigners who spend more than £10,000 must register with the watchdog by law. While it is not registered as an official campaigner, the Commission found Ryanair "was undertaking campaigning activities" and said it had been in contact with the airline about these. But it said there was "no reasonable ground to suspect that a breach of PPERA [the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000] has occurred." A spokesman added: "We are satisfied, following an assessment that the available evidence suggests Ryanair has not spent in excess of £10,000 without registering as a campaigner for the EU referendum. "We will continue to monitor campaign spending in the run-up to the referendum and take action if it is appropriate and necessary to do so in line with our established Enforcement Policy". Ryanair, which is registered in Ireland, has run adverts for a "Brexit special" discount on flights to passengers who want to fly home to vote to stay in the EU and had pledged to "continue to work hard to help deliver a resounding Remain majority on 23 June". Ryanair's head of communications Robin Kiely said: "Ryanair's Fly Home to Vote Remain seat sale, which allowed UK citizens to buy a £19.99 one-way fare to fly to the UK on 22 and 23 June next, fully complies with Ryanair's policy of lowering the cost of air travel to/from the UK. "Vote Leave must be getting really desperate if they are now objecting to low fare air travel for British citizens." But a Vote Leave spokesman pointed to a Reuters story suggesting the airline had spent nearly £20,000 on advertisements urging customers to vote to remain in the EU. He said: "Vote Leave is surprised by the Electoral Commission's decision given Ryanair has confirmed in its own publicity that they are spending more than the amount that the Electoral Commission state is the threshold for registering." Leone Stars will face the Flames at the Siaka Stevens stadium, Freetown, on 22 March, their first match at home since they hosted Seychelles in July 2014. The match was almost cancelled over a $10,000 fee demanded by the now sacked country's sports minister Paul Kamara. SLFA told BBC Sport: "We will not pay any cash for the use of the stadium." This will be the third friendly meetings between Leone Stars and the Flames with the later winning the previous two encounters at home in Lilongwe way back in 1978. There has never been a competitive fixture between the two teams. The match is Sierra Leone's preparation for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Gabon - away on 25 March and at home in Freetown three days later. However, there are no points at stake for the two games because Gabon will host the finals in January. Sierra Leone are currently bottom of group I behind Sudan and African champions Ivory Coast. But Malawi are preparing for a competitive Nations Cup double-header with Guinea in Group L. The Flames are presently third in the table, above Guinea but below Swaziland and Zimbabwe. The 28 EU leaders will discuss the draft Ceta deal shortly in Brussels. All of them, including Belgium's national government, back it. But Wallonia says Ceta is a threat to farmers and welfare standards. That is blocking the signing of Ceta, which has put the EU's credibility at stake in trade negotiations. Walloon PM Paul Magnette is to hold further talks with Canada's International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland on Friday, Belgian RTBF News reports. Mr Magnette said: "We sense a willingness among our Canadian friends to make more concessions." There are doubts about a planned signing ceremony on 27 October. The European Commission, in charge of the EU's negotiations, has refused to unpick the text which was agreed with Canada in 2014. Some EU leaders, including European Council President Donald Tusk, have voiced frustration that French-speaking Wallonia, with a population of just 3.6m, is delaying a deal that took seven years to negotiate. European Parliament briefing on Ceta There is much international interest in Ceta, the EU's most ambitious trade deal to date. Some UK politicians see it as a potential model for a Brexit deal with the EU. But Wallonia has echoed the fears of anti-globalisation activists who say Ceta and deals like it give too much power to multinational companies - power even to intimidate governments. Meanwhile, the EU Council Summit is continuing in Brussels - but an EU official close to the talks said the summit was happening "very much in the shadow of Ceta". EU leaders could only "facilitate" but not participate directly in Wallonia's discussions, he said. In their talks on Friday the leaders are seeking to strike the right balance between free trade and preventing unfair competition. A row about the scale of imported Chinese steel in the EU has heightened their concerns. European steel producers accuse China of unfair practices. The European Commission, which steers trade policy, says the EU needs to tighten its anti-dumping rules. But the UK is part of a blocking minority opposed to the Commission's reform plan. The UK says tariffs must not be "disproportionate". The Commission has urged the leaders to adopt its 2013 reform of "trade defence instruments" to allow higher tariffs to be imposed. The European Parliament also says the EU needs "a modernised set of rules on par with other world powers" to make fair trade work. The move comes as the company invests £5m in facilities to fill bottles quicker at its Cumbernauld plant, while it decommissions washing equipment. AG Barr said it would no longer be able to handle returns after 31 December. The firm explained that recycling at home had contributed to a drop in bottles being returned from 90% in the early 1990s to only about 50% now. Dubbed "Scotland's other national drink", Irn Bru was created to an original recipe in 1901 when it was initially called Iron Brew. The company introduced bottle returns in 1905 and changed its famous product's name to Irn Bru in 1946, amid concern over new food labelling regulations. By Nick Eardley, BBC News The man who used to run the newsagent's down the road from my parents' house in Edinburgh must have hated me. As a child, my friends and I would turn up at the weekend with however many Irn Bru bottles we had managed to get our hands on to claim our 20p coins. The bottles would come from a variety of sources - my dad, neighbours, the park where teenagers used to drink on a Friday and Saturday night. I'll always remember the day we found dozens of bottles in a bag - for Edinburgh's answer to the Famous Five, it was like winning the lottery. There were so many we had to stagger our trips to the newsagent to claim our cash. Many a weekend's sweet supply was bankrolled by our bottle finding adventures. Future generations will never know such joy. Jonathan Kemp, commercial director, said: "This significant investment allows us to continue to offer our consumers their favourite products in glass, well into the future. "With improved kerbside recycling, only one in two of our bottles are now being returned, meaning that the process of handling returned bottles has become uneconomic." This investment will replace Barr's current glass line, which is almost 20 years old, with more efficient glass filling capability, and will see "energy-hungry" returnable glass bottle washing equipment decommissioned. Mr Kemp added: "From the beginning of October information on the change will be carried on the bottle label and we will work with retailers to display materials in their premises to ensure our consumers understand what is planned." By Douglas Fraser, BBC Scotland business editor Returnable glass bottles are an unlikely national icon but their demise has unleashed a lot of nostalgia for the soft drinks that fuelled many Scottish childhoods. "It's a sad decision to take," admits AG Barr's commercial director, Jonathan Kemp. "It's the end of an era. Read more Electricity prices will rise by an average of 13.8%, and gas prices by 3.8%. E.On said that 2.5 million customers would be affected by the increases, which come into effect on 26 April. The average bill will rise by £97 a year. However it is the first such increase in three years. E.On blamed the social and environmental schemes which support renewable energy, but which customers have to pay for through their bills. Wholesale energy costs had actually come down, it said, thanks to its hedging policy. But the announcement was criticised by some energy bill experts. "E.On delivered yet another bitter blow to households this morning as it announced a monstrous price rise," said Mark Todd the founder of Energyhelpline. "This massive increase will be very tough for customers to swallow and once again it's loyal standard rate customers who are hit the hardest." Three other big power companies have announced price rises this year, while British Gas has announced a freeze until August. E.On said it would send more than three million letters this month to its customers, making it clear that cheaper tariffs are available. In addition, some vulnerable customers - including those over 65 - will be offered special deals. They will receive letters with a tear-off permission slip, which will enable them to switch to E.On's cheapest tariff before the price rises come into effect. Standard tariffs have come under criticism from MPs and the government, as they are more expensive than fixed-term deals. The regulator has also put pressure on energy suppliers to get more of their customers to switch to cheaper deals. At the moment about two-thirds of customers are on standard tariffs. Enniskillen-born Lafferty, 28, has had less than an hour's first-team action for the Canaries this season, having made just three substitute appearances. He has played more times for his country than his club this campaign. He has won four caps and scored in two successive games in September to help his side make it to Euro 2016. The widely travelled striker started his career at Burnley, going out on loan to Darlington before joining Rangers for £3m in June 2008. Since then, he has had moves to Swiss side FC Sion, Palermo in Sicily and on to Norwich in June 2014. He was loaned out by the Canaries this time last season to Turkish side Rizespor, but a move by Leeds United to get him in January ultimately fell though. This deal comes with a recall option for Norwich after 28 days. Blues, who have scored just four goals in the last nine games, now stand ninth in the Championship, six points off the play-offs, although with a game in hand. "The acquisition of Lafferty is interesting on two fronts. First, it suggests a further loosening of the financial ties that have bound Birmingham City in recent seasons - an experienced international striker does not come cheap. "It also indicates an end on the over-reliance on striker Clayton Donaldson. He has been an indisputable starter under Gary Rowett over the last two seasons, one of the first names in the team sheet. "But Lafferty desperately needs football ahead of Euro 2016 with Northern Ireland, and will surely have to be given opportunities at St Andrew's. "Will this mean a rest for Donaldson, or will Rowett go against the grain and field two strikers? "Either way it is an ambitious move at a time when the club are in danger of slipping out of play-off contention." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Media playback is not supported on this device The 35-year-old lost £1.5m at the height of his gambling addiction. He sympathises with Burnley midfielder Joey Barton, who admitted suffering from the problem on Wednesday after being banned for 18 months for betting. "Gambling companies need to recognise those that are vulnerable and don't take bets from them," Etherington said. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, he added: "I was targeted. We had gambling companies come into the club and say 'you can bet with us'. "They knew we were young, a bit vulnerable, and had lots of money. Looking back, it was very irresponsible of them." Etherington retired in 2014 after a career that included spells with Peterborough, Tottenham and West Ham, as well as Stoke. Former Manchester City and QPR midfielder Barton was fined £30,000 and warned about his future conduct after being charged with breaking FA rules for placing bets on matches between 26 March 2006 and 13 May 2016. He admitted placing "over 15,000 bets across a whole range of sports" - of which 1,260 were on football - staking an average of £150 per bet. Between 2004 and 2011, Barton said he placed several bets on his own team to lose but added he was not involved in the match-day squad in any of those instances. "The length of the ban is quite harsh - I think his past has gone before him," Etherington said. "I think the FA are trying to send out a clear message to everyone that you can't bet on football matches. "Players know the rules - FA representatives let you know in no uncertain terms. They would come in at the start of every season and let you know. "It is sad for Joey because it looks like it's the end of his career. He's got a problem and I hope he sorts it out." Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman told BBC Radio 5 live that a gambling company blocked his account after he staked his first bet post-retirement. The 35-year-old, who played more than 400 games for the Toffees, was released at the end of the 2015-16 season. "The betting company has done Barton no favours," said Osman. "They are more to blame than anybody because they've been accepting bets from him for 10 years. "I had to phone up and explain that I am no longer playing, and suddenly they looked me through and released my account within six weeks of me having a bet. "You're not telling me that in 10 years they've not noticed that Joey Barton's betting on football?" Etherington feels the gambling industry needs to be "regulated" and adverts should be less conspicuous on TV and radio. Gambling company Ladbrokes is an FA partner and 10 Premier League clubs have betting firms as shirt sponsors. "Everyone needs to take a little bit more responsibility - the PFA, the players, the FA and the gambling organisations themselves," Etherington said. "It's very hard and complex. The PFA can do more going into the clubs, it's just whether or not the players want to listen. "[After training] I was so desperate to get away and place a bet you're not paying full attention to your career. That's the thing that I regret." He also has the unusual distinction, for a journalist, of being targeted by EU sanctions - imposed in the wake of Russia's annexation of Crimea. Mr Kiselyov delivered another of his anti-Western diatribes in the 30 March edition of Vesti Nedeli (News of the Week), his flagship current affairs show on the official channel Rossiya 1. Millions of Russians rely on the main state-owned TV channels for their news. With dainty, almost balletic hand gestures and the faint trace of an ironic smile on his lips, Kiselyov asks with mock concern "what's up" with Barack Obama. The US president's ratings, he says, are on the slide, while Russian President Vladimir Putin's continue to rise. Turning to another camera, he goes on to denounce the US for trying to spread revolution with "terrorists" in Syria and "fascists" in Ukraine. "They shamelessly spy on everyone, wanting to control the world, but they suffer one defeat after another," he concludes. It was a typical Kiselyov performance, if not quite a vintage one. Two weeks earlier, he had mocked what he said were President Obama's waning powers, as symbolised by his greying hair, before boasting that Russia was the only country "genuinely capable of turning the USA into radioactive ash". At the beginning of March, he had lambasted Ukraine as a country overrun by "bandits", where democracy was "on its knees". He sneered at the weakness of the Ukrainian army and airily dismissed the idea of Western sanctions. He also said the fate of Crimea was a "personal matter" for each and every Russian citizen. Mr Kiselyov's polemic set the tone for the Kremlin's policy on Ukraine that culminated in Mr Putin's triumphant annexation of Crimea some three weeks later. Mr Kiselyov is a key part of Mr Putin's media operation. Apart from his role as TV anchor, he was recently appointed to head the new Russia Today news agency, whose mission is to further beef up the Kremlin's media presence around the world. The appointment was controversial, not least because of Mr Kiselyov's repeated attacks on homosexuals. The most notorious of these came on a Rossiya 1 talkshow in 2012, when he said gay people should be banned from donating blood and sperm, and that if they were killed in a car crash "their hearts should be buried in the ground or burnt as unfit for helping to prolong anyone's life". A blog published by The Economist has dubbed Mr Kiselyov Russia's "chief propagandist". According to former Kremlin insider and political analyst Gleb Pavlovskiy, Kiselyov and his state media colleagues are generators of "Russophobia". They are a "machine churning out the black myth of Russia as an enemy of Europe and civilisation", Mr Pavlovskiy said. The Ukrainian authorities have now ordered all cable operators to suspend broadcasts of Rossiya 1 and three of Russia's other state-controlled channels. Russian TV has been widely watched in Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine, and now dominates the airwaves in Crimea. Mr Kiselyov himself is now the subject of a travel ban and asset freeze by the EU. But at home he appears to be riding high. A recent poll by the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM) named him as Russia's second most respected and authoritative journalist. Another FOM poll found that more than 50% of respondents thought it acceptable to "distort information" in the interests of the state.

Lula, a left-wing icon, left office in 2011. His Workers' Party has been hit hard by the long-running scandal. His brief detention led to clashes outside his home near Sao Paulo. After his interrogation Lula told reporters he was the victim of a "prejudice as a working-class man", adding: "I escaped death from hunger when I was five... I was the best president to govern this country, the poorest of this country re-elected me because they could eat now." He also said there had been no need for police to detain him. "If they wanted to hear from me, they only had to call and I would have gone, because I owe nothing to anyone and fear nothing." This was echoed by his successor, current President Dilma Rousseff, who said it had been "unnecessary" to take him into custody. What led to Lula's detention? Dilma Rousseff: Facing a perfect storm Who is Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva? Brazil media comment on 'sad day' The Petrobras inquiry, known as Operation Car Wash, has led to criminal proceedings against dozens of business executives and Workers' Party figures accused of taking part in the multibillion-dollar corruption scheme. The Workers' Party has held the Brazilian presidency since 2003, both under Lula and Ms Rousseff. In the latest operations, police enforced 33 search and 11 detention warrants in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Bahia, officials said. Lula, 70, is suspected of receiving about 30m reais ($8m; £5.6m) in speaking fees and donations to his charity, the Lula Institute. His home in Sao Bernardo do Campo was among the premises targeted, as was the headquarters of the institute in Sao Paulo. Prosecutor Carlos Fernando dos Santos Lima said: "Among the five largest donors to the Lula Institute, 60% of all the donations were paid by the five largest businessmen involved in the Car Wash scandal." A police statement quoted by Reuters news agency said: "There is evidence that the crimes enriched him and financed electoral campaigns and the treasury of his political group." However, no charges have been brought against Lula so far. The institute said in a statement (in Portuguese) the "violence" against the former president was "arbitrary, illegal and unjustifiable", as he had been co-operating with the investigations. The Workers' Party called the operation a "political spectacle". There is much more at stake in these investigations than just Lula's personal reputation. His legacy and the future of his political project for Brazil - which has shaped the country for the past 14 years - are also under scrutiny. Under his Workers' Party, Brazil has seen a period of spectacular economic growth and a fall in inequality. And now, under the same party, the country is facing its worst recession in 25 years; critics point to the government's mistakes for creating the crisis. Lula has said he is prepared to run for president in 2018. However, in order for his political project to survive, he will have to clear his name and his party's. His detention is a major obstacle in his path. Markets in Brazil reacted strongly to the news. The value of the Brazilian currency, the real, surged 3% in the morning. Sao Paulo's main stock exchange index rose more than 4% in the initial hours of trading. Dozens of Lula supporters and opponents gathered outside his home following the raids. There were clashes as both shouted slogans either for or against the former president. Demonstrators also scuffled outside the police station where Lula was questioned. $2bn paid in alleged bribes by businessmen to obtain Petrobras contracts 33 search warrants and 11 arrest warrants, carried out by 200 police officers and 30 federal tax office auditors Operation Car Wash, or Lava Jato in Portuguese, as the corruption investigation is known, has been closely monitored by Brazilian media over the past two years. Many TV networks are providing live coverage from outside Lula's apartment, where protesters have gathered. And articles reflecting what the detention means are starting to appear. One of the many headlines in the popular daily Folha de Sao Paulo quotes an opposition figure as saying: "Operations in Lula's house could be the beginning of the end". Several newspapers are highlighting the nickname of this new phase of the investigation: "Aletheia" is a Greek word meaning "search for truth". Lula led Brazil during a time of rapid economic growth and is credited with lifting millions of people out of poverty. He is still a well-liked figure and has been considered a potential candidate in presidential elections in 2018. But his popularity has been hit by recent allegations that he either had knowledge or involvement in the wrongdoings. The corruption scandal threatens the government of Ms Rousseff, who has faced repeated impeachment calls. She too has denied having any knowledge of wrongdoings. They will also gather data on traffic conditions, hazards and road signs. The service by mapping firm Here, owned by a group of German car makers, will roll out next year. The platform will record vehicle speed, location and direction, as well as sharp braking and fog light activation. Video footage of road hazards will also be captured by a forward-facing camera on the cars. Other brands will join the service at a later date, the firm said. Owners of cars which incorporate Here's Open Location Platform will not have to do anything to transmit or receive data. Community mapping service Waze, owned by Google, already crowdsources travel data but users must be logged in via their smartphones. The parking information service will also provide parking availability predictions for each street as well as details about payment options. "Here believes that industry collaboration is essential to address the major challenges faced by road users everywhere. "What we are seeing today is the technology and automotive industries coming together to create services that will elevate the driving experience for billions," said CEO Edzard Overbeek. Here was sold by Nokia to the car group last year for 2.8bn euros (£2bn). It said the halo "presents the best overall safety performance" after the evaluation of "a large number of devices over the past five years". The move comes less than a week after a transparent cockpit 'shield' proved unusable at the British Grand Prix. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel said the device made him dizzy after one lap. The 'shield' had been prioritised by F1's bosses because of mixed reactions to the 'halo' after extensive testing last year. The 'halo' was found to be the only device that both successfully passed the test of deflecting a wheel fired at it at 150mph and provided a largely unobstructed view. Some drivers have expressed concerns about the 'halo', a wishbone-shaped device that sits on top of the cockpit and meets in a point in front of the driver, both on aesthetic and philosophical grounds. But, as a collective body, they are in favour of additional head protection. Alexander Wurz, chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, said: "We drivers respect the FIA's stand on safety and support its ongoing quest to make racing safer. "Over recent decades, we have seen increasing speeds and every faster lap times and this ultimate racing quest is solely possible due to increasing safety. "Equally, over the same period of time, we have seen an increase in popularity of our sport. "F1 is a role model for ever-increasing safety without jeopardising performance. While the halo solution might not be the most aesthetically pleasing for everyone, we drivers will nevertheless race and push as hard as we can on track, which is the key for F1 to continue its growth and popularity." A statement from the FIA said: "With the support of the teams, certain features of [halo's] design will be further enhanced." The strategy group of leading teams, commercial rights holders and the FIA committed in July 2016 to the introduction of additional frontal protection to F1 in 2018, a decision which delayed by a year its originally intended debut. Last April, the sport's bosses decided to prioritise the 'shield' with the idea of introducing it for 2018. But the test at Silverstone proved the device needed a lot more work. With time running out and teams needing to start work on finalising their 2018 car designs, the rule-making strategy group on Wednesday decided to push forward with the only device that does work. The strategy group also agreed to set up a working group to examine the problem of cost control in F1, its aim to "come up with innovative solutions aimed at ensuring the sport remains sustainable". A statement said the group debated "a number of sporting measures aimed at improving the show". It did not reveal what they were but said "specific studies will be carried out to assess" them. The broadcaster is controlled by ITV, which bought the business last year. The jobs at risk are understood to be primarily in the sales department but also include library staff, online staff and 'playout' (transmission services). News is not affected. A UTV spokesperson said a total of 43 roles are under threat - potentially a quarter of the workforce. She said staff had been informed of the restructuring plans, which are understood to be linked to the proposed sale of UTV Ireland to Virgin Media. UTV Belfast currently has a staff of 138. The spokesperson said: "From today, 43 roles are at risk of redundancy. "That's 27 new roles put at risk today on top of the 16 in playout that were already at risk from July. There are eight redeployment opportunities, so that's potentially 35 job losses - potentially a 25% decrease in workforce." But they're not complaining about the end result now, says the 44-year-old Japanese American. He did the training to fulfil his parents' dream of him becoming a doctor, and as he jokes, his parents never actually said how long they wanted him to be a doctor for - just to be one. The reason he left so soon was because he was determined to carry on the venture he'd begun at just 11-years-old while still in junior high school. He had founded his own start-up company, which eventually focused on enhanced security for personal computers through technologies such as fingerprint and iris recognition. Mr Saito formally incorporated the firm - I/O Software - in 1991 while he was at university. The company became a leader in biometrics and information security, and just 14 years later at the age of 33 he sold it to US giant Microsoft. While the terms of the deal mean he can't reveal the price he received, Mr Saito admits he would have been in a position to retire then if he'd wanted to. But unsurprisingly for someone so driven at such a young age, he has continued to work relentlessly, using his experience to help other entrepreneurs, particularly in his parents' home country of Japan. While born and raised in the US, Mr Saito still believes he "owes the Japanese", because it's his heritage which he credits for his success. And now he believes he can give something back. Mr Saito's parents couldn't speak English when they emigrated to the US, settling in Los Angeles in California, just two years before he was born in 1971. Determined to give their son - the eldest of three - a competitive advantage to ensure he would thrive in their new country, they focused on mathematics, bringing over complex textbooks from Japan, and teaching him things well beyond the expected level for his age. "That turned into a huge advantage for me," he says. In fact, his maths became so advanced that his teacher ran out of suitable lessons, suggesting he played with "a thing called a personal computer" instead. "I was able to take advantage of this lead and it changed my life," Mr Saito says. On this teacher's advice, his parents took out a home loan to buy him his very own personal computer - worth about $5,000 (£3,200) in today's money - which from their point of view was aimed at helping him become a doctor. But some work, organised by the same teacher, changed the direction of his life permanently. The teacher suggested to a friend - an accountant at investment bank Merrill Lynch - that Mr Saito, who at the time was just 10-years-old, could help with writing computer programmes. "When I finished I received a cheque, and I didn't expect that. "That really changed my view about doing something fun, but at the same time getting paid for it. It was definitely a wake-up moment for me," he says. Despite his precocious start, Mr Saito denies that he was hot-housed, saying his parents exposed him to lots of different activities, and made it clear that success was about more than just good grades. In particular, he says both the schools he went to, and his parents, emphasised the importance of volunteering. It's a lesson he has taken to heart, and since the successful sale of his first firm, he has worked hard to support other would-be entrepreneurs. He confesses one of his favourite pursuits, is judging business plans, and he travels globally to do this. To date, he calculates he's judged some 15,000 people in such competitions. But his main focus is his parents' home country of Japan. In 2005, after selling I/O Software, he moved to Japan and founded venture capital firm and consultancy InTecur. He also works as a special adviser for the Japanese government, specialising in cybersecurity. But his main drive is to make the Japanese more entrepreneurial. As well as advising firms on various technology issues, InTecur aims to help young Japanese technology entrepreneurs become successful, something which he feels the Japanese culture, which typically bases seniority on age and experience, makes difficult. "People in their 20s aren't given the opportunity. So for me I felt an obligation to give back to that next generation because I was given the opportunity," he says. So far, the firm has invested in 24 companies, 14 of which are run by women - who he believes are also often overlooked in Japanese society. He says he also makes a point of investing in people who have previously failed. "Failure here [in Japan] is a bad word. I'm the reverse. You have to fail once and gain that experience first, then you know what your weaknesses and strengths are." It is these attitudes, which he believes are stifling Japan's entrepreneurial spirit and making it harder for the country to grow. But he's optimistic that things are changing. And it's this which makes him happiest. "To unleash that potential and to see people make real change, I think I'm most proud about that. "This is still an unfinished story but it's starting to take root," he says. ________________________________________ The 25-year-old will join the Women's Super League club in January when the WSL transfer window re-opens. Chelsea were knocked out of the Women's Champions League by Wolfsburg in October and in their 2015-16 campaign. "I know the qualities Chelsea have after our Champions League games and hope I will be able to add to that," Bachmann told Chelsea's club website. "I want to win trophies and believe I am at the perfect place to do that." Blues boss Emma Hayes added: "She is a dynamic, creative spark that will make people get off their feet. She will suit the English game, because she is explosive and will make things happen." Chelsea, who finished second in WSL 1 in 2016, have already signed Norway captain Maren Mjelde from Norwegian club Avaldsnes for next season. We have picked out four questions.

Look out for question boxes like this one across the BBC News website: The Labour MP for Batley and Spen in West Yorkshire was killed in Birstall, on 16 June. Mrs Cox had cut the turf at a ceremony at the start of construction on the £1.38m unit at Dewsbury District Hospital, in December 2015. Her parents and sister took part in a short ceremony and unveiled a plaque dedicated to her. Jean Leadbeater, Mrs Cox's mother, said: "Jo was an MP, a humanitarian, a wife, a sister and a daughter but most of all she was a mum and she would have been amazed at the birth unit. "She knew how important it was to have units like this in our local community." She also reminded staff at the hospital that both Mrs Cox and her sister, Kim, had been born there. "This is my third visit and on the last two occasions we left with two amazing babies," Mrs Leadbeater said. "Hopefully there won't be a third," she added, to much laughter. Jules Preston, chairman of the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust which runs the hospital, said: "When Jo came and cut the first turf it was always envisaged she would come back and open the place. "To have that promise delivered through her parents and sister is just so gratifying." State broadcaster CCTV reported that nearly 500 children developed serious illnesses, including blood abnormalities and cancer. The cause was thought to be air, soil and water toxins at the school, which is near three former chemical plants. But the authorities say repeated tests showed they met safety standards. The Changzhou Foreign Language School relocated in September 2015 next to the former site of three toxic chemical plants. Changlong, the chemical company that operated at the site, had previously been fined for environmental violations. Both the CCTV report and the local authorities in Jiangsu province say children started getting ill shortly after the move. However, they disagree on how severely ill the students are. The CCTV report said out of a total of 2,451 students, 641 had medical examinations and 493 were diagnosed with illnesses including bronchitis, dermatitis, lymphoma and leukaemia. Local authorities, meanwhile, say ailments were reported after the move but they list them as skin allergy, cough, nose bleeding, vomiting, oral ulcers and lumps in the thyroid glands. Changzhou authorities added on Tuesday that from 11 January to 29 February, 597 students went to hospital - 464 were normal and 133 had some abnormal indicators. But authorities said the results fell within normal ranges. They said: "We invited experts to analyse the test results. Experts say thyroid nodule could happen to any 13-15 year old teenagers, and the possibility is 7%. The reasons are: insufficient iodine intake, too much pressure, instinct immune deficiency, drug intake; or virus affection, or immune system disease." No leukaemia case was found, Changzhou officials have said. Only one lymph cancer was found which was diagnosed in September 2015 before the school moved to the new site, they added. CCTV's report triggered widespread media anger, and tens of thousands of people took to social media to demand that local authorities be held accountable. China has faced many health scares before, and many people are sceptical about assurances they receive from the local authorities. In October, there were allegations that a running track at another school, also in Changzhou, was poorly constructed and could contain toxins, with children complaining of nosebleeds and dizziness.

The star, who rose to fame in the 1990s as a hard-partying "It girl", received treatment in 2016 for a non-malignant brain tumour. The Met Police confirmed a woman in her 40s was found dead at Palmer-Tomkinson's flat in Bramham Gardens, South Kensington, at 13:40 GMT. Prince Charles, a close friend of the star's family, led tributes and said he was "deeply saddened" by her death. Palmer-Tomkinson, a former Sunday Times columnist and reality TV star, was a regular on the London party scene in the 1990s and 2000s. She made headlines for her social life, frequently appearing in the pages of society and celebrity magazines, before later appearing on reality TV. The tabloid darling also battled a high-profile cocaine addiction, which she discussed publicly on a number of occasions. She was diagnosed with a tumour last January after returning from a skiing trip and was also suffering from an auto immune disease that caused acute anaemia, tiredness and joint pain. Life in pictures: Tara Palmer-Tomkinson She had voiced fears that she might die, but hit back at critics who blamed her frail health on her well-documented troubles. Speaking in 2016, she said: "That's always their [press] take on it... cocaine. "That was so many years ago. But not many people can contemplate Tara's life without it". As well as being a socialite, Palmer-Tomkinson was also a close friend of Prince Charles and attended the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. In a tribute, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall said their "thoughts are so much with the family". Television host and former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan paid tribute in a tweet that read: "RIP Tara Palmer Tomkinson, 45. A fun, feisty woman who battled many demons. Very sad news." Majesty magazine editor and royal historian Ingrid Seward told BBC News: "She did have it all, and perhaps that was part of her problem. "She was a good-looking girl, she had a fabulous family, she was a brilliant skier, rider, and she was very artistic. She sang beautifully." She added: "I just think there was just too much, and life gave her too many choices, and she just didn't make the right ones. "But she was a very generous, sweet person, I mean she really was a charming, charming girl." Later in her career Palmer-Tomkinson appeared on reality TV series I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2002, as well as several other TV shows. Her father Charles was a former Olympic skier who taught Prince Charles. The family was skiing with the prince in the Alps in 1988 when they were hit by an avalanche that killed one member of their party, Major Hugh Lindsay, and left Palmer-Tomkinson's mother Patti with serious leg injuries. One is said to be from Russia's North Caucasus region and the others from Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Turkey believes so-called Islamic State (IS) was behind the suicide gun and bomb attack that left 44 people dead and some 240 injured. Police detained at least 13 suspects in Istanbul and more in Izmir on Thursday. Family, friends and colleagues of victims gathered at the airport on Thursday for a memorial service as funerals continued. One image on Turkish media purported to show the three men together at the airport moments before the attack, wearing dark jackets and carrying holdalls. Two are wearing caps, one is smiling. An unnamed Turkish official confirmed for Reuters news agency the dead attackers' countries of origin after Turkish media reports. Some agencies named one of the men as Osman Vadinov, said to have crossed into Turkey from the IS stronghold of Raqqa in Syria in 2015. Reports that he was a Chechen have been denied by an unnamed police source in the North Caucasus, Russia's Interfax news agency reports. The organiser of the attack has been named by Turkish media as Akhmed Chatayev, a Chechen believed to have acted as an IS recruiter, who is on a US counter-terror sanctions list. His fate was not immediately clear. IS has long recruited members from mainly Muslim parts of the former USSR, with Russian President Vladimir Putin putting the overall number at between 5,000 and 7,000 in October. However, data published by the Soufan Group security consultants in December suggests the numbers are lower: 2,400 from Russia and 500 apiece from Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Many believe that some elements within Turkey's Islamist-leaning government stomached, or even fostered, jihadist groups in Syria that tallied with their beliefs, creating an environment in which IS could grow. For the first few years of the Syrian war, Turkey's border with Syria was somewhat porous, allowing jihadists and weapons to cross in both directions - until pressure from the US and others grew and Turkey tightened controls. Ankara has always vehemently denied the allegations, claiming there is no proof of sinister cross-border movement and that the media and Western governments are attempting to besmirch Turkey while ignoring the fact that it has taken in almost three million Syrian refugees. But what is clear is that as Turkey has become a more active part of the US-led coalition against Islamic State, it is considerably more vulnerable. Read more from Mark Islamic State: the full story The government has made no official statement on nationalities yet and no-one has said they carried out the attack on Tuesday evening. Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Wednesday that "our thoughts on those responsible for the attack lean towards Islamic State". Meanwhile, another Turkish official told AFP news agency: "Earlier today, the police raided 16 locations to detain 13 IS suspects, including three foreign nationals." Turkish media said counter-terrorism police had raided several areas of Istanbul - including Pendik, Basaksehir and Sultanbeyli. Arrests were also reported in the western coastal city of Izmir, where at least nine people were detained, accused of financing, recruiting and providing logistical support to IS. Separately, Turkish media reported that security forces had killed two suspected IS militants on the Syrian border last Saturday. They said one had been planning an attack on the capital Ankara or the city of Adana. Detailing the attack, Mr Yildirim said the three men had wanted to pass through the security system but on seeing the controls "took their weapons out of their suitcases and opened fire at random at the security check". One attacker detonated his explosives downstairs in the arrivals terminal, Turkish officials said. The second went upstairs and set off his explosives there while the third waited outside as passengers fled. He then detonated his explosives, causing the most casualties. A Kalashnikov assault rifle, a handgun and two grenades were found on the bodies, Turkish media said. Some 240 people were injured, dozens of whom remain in critical condition in hospital. Dozens of anxious friends and relatives remain camped outside Istanbul's Bakirkoy hospital, waiting for news. It is now known that of the 44 people killed, 24 were Turkish, three were Saudis and two Iraqis. In addition, China, Jordan, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Iran and Ukraine each lost one citizen, and two Palestinians were killed. Funerals began on Wednesday, including that of Muhammed Eymen Demirci, who landed a job on the ground services crew in May after a year unemployed, texting a friend saying "I got the job bro!" He died waiting for a bus. Tunisian doctor Fathi Bayoudh had reportedly been in Turkey for some weeks trying to secure the release of his son, who had been detained for allegedly joining IS. Marvan Melhim and his wife, Nisreen, both work in Saudi Arabia, and had arrived with their three-year-old daughter. "We heard shooting from a distance," said Marvan. "The explosion went off. I found my wife bleeding and my daughter too." Nisreen died in hospital shortly afterwards. A friend of Serkan Turk said the physical education teacher had rushed to the site of the first explosion to help the wounded, but was killed by a later blast.

IS blamed Sixteen-year-old Amos Yee, who was detained on Sunday shortly after Mr Lee's state funeral, has been given bail set at S$20,000 (£9,800; $14,500). The video sparked a huge backlash from grieving Singaporeans and more than 20 police reports were lodged. Singapore has strict hate speech laws strengthened under Mr Lee's leadership. Lee Kuan Yew was deeply respected by Singaporeans and his death last week prompted unprecedented public mourning. He was widely seen as the architect of Singapore's prosperity, but during his 31 years as prime minister he also clamped down on opponents, imposed strict social rules and tight political control. In the expletive-laden eight-minute video which was uploaded last Friday, Amos Yee celebrated Mr Lee's death and criticised his strict control of Singapore, calling him "a horrible person". He said Singaporeans were scared to criticise Mr Lee and compared him disparagingly to Jesus Christ. The video drew a visceral response from Singaporeans, who had turned up in large numbers to mourn Mr Lee last week as he lay in state. Mr Yee subsequently took down the video, but copies have since been uploaded on YouTube. On Tuesday, Mr Yee appeared in court to be charged on three counts: "deliberate intention of wounding the religious or racial feelings of any person", distributing obscene material and harassment. He faces a fine and up to three years in jail if convicted. Mr Yee - who was originally reported to be 17 - will be tried as an adult. In addition to bail, he agreed not to post any material online while the case is in progress. Speaking outside the courtroom, his father apologised to the current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is Mr Lee's son. Singapore's hate speech laws are intended to ensure harmony between its multi-ethnic population and prevent a recurrence of the racial violence of its early years. In a statement Deputy Commissioner Tan Chye Hee said the police "take a stern view of acts that could threaten religious harmony in Singapore". Amos Yee was one of several people who went online to publicly criticise Mr Lee's legacy - others include human rights activists and a prominent poet - but he is the only one to have been arrested. A petition started by a Christian Singaporean has been launched, calling for his release. Media rights group the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said the arrest "highlights the restrictive environment in which Singaporean journalists are forced to work". "We call on authorities to release Amos Yee immediately and to undertake reform of Singapore's outdated laws restricting the media," said CPJ's Asia spokesman Bob Dietz. Jo Clifford recreates biblical stories with a "different slant" in the play The Gospel According to Jesus Queen of Heaven, which will air in Belfast as part of Outburst Queer Arts Festival. "The play imagines a transgender Jesus coming back to the world today," Ms Clifford said. "She pitches a sermon and tells a few very familiar gospel stories." "She has a communion, shares bread and wine with the audience, which is really a gesture of solidarity in the face of death and she gives a blessing. "So it's a very important, very intimate show." The play is written and performed by Ms Clifford, a practising Christian. "Obviously being a transgender woman myself it concerns me very greatly that religious people so often use Christianity as a weapon to attack us and justify the prejudices against us," she said. "I wanted to see if we could move away from that and make people think again." The play has been performed for a number of years and was featured most recently at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. But the play has met some controversy in the past, when 300 protesters held a candlelit protest outside a Glasgow theatre in 2009, with some claiming that the play was blasphemous. Ms Clifford dismissed these claims. "People did that when they didn't know anything about the play," she said. "They assumed that it would be very offensive to the church. "As a practising Christian myself, I have no interest in attacking the church or mocking the church or make fun of the church or in anyway being blasphemous or offensive." "I simply want to assert very strongly, as strongly as I can that Jesus of the gospels would not in anyway wish to attack or denigrate people like myself." How have Christians and non-Christians reacted to the play after they have watched it? "Christian people are generally very moved by it," she said. "It speaks very strongly to people whether they're Christian or whether they're not." Ms Clifford said the message of the play was particularly important in Northern Ireland after a same-sex marriage motion failed to make it through the Stormont assembly last week. "I think it's very important to get across the message that Jesus of the gospels would not condone or want to promote prejudice and discrimination against anybody and to try to convey a message of compassion and love and understanding of everybody," she said. "No matter what their belief, no matter what their gender, orientation or sexuality." The rise contrasted with a fall of 79,000 in UK unemployment, to 1.7 million, over the same period. The Scottish jobless rate stands at 6.1%, compared with 5.4% for the whole of the UK. Office for National Statistics (ONS) data also showed employment in Scotland falling by 6,000 to 2,610,000. The number of people claiming Job Seeker's Allowance increased by 500 between August and September, to stand at 71,000. Analysis by Douglas Fraser, Scotland business and economy editor The divergent paths of the Scottish and UK jobs market are mirrored by other indicators we've had in recent days, such as the latest manufacturing export figures and the findings of a respected survey of Scottish purchasing managers. More from Douglas Fraser's blog The UK government's Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "The figures released today show the challenges which remain to ensure households in every part of our country benefit from a growing economy. "There can be no doubt there is still hard work to undertake to build on the UK government's long-term economic plan which has tackled a record deficit and laid the foundations for a stronger and more stable economy." The Scottish government said Scotland outperformed the UK as a whole on employment, youth employment and female employment. Scottish Deputy First Minister John Swinney said that with the increase in the unemployment rate, it was important to sustain public sector investment to strengthen business confidence and deliver economic recovery. He added: "While Scotland has now seen three years of continuous economic growth, and continues to exceed the UK in the total employment rate and in youth and female employment rates, today's figures show that there remain serious challenges to economic recovery." Labour public services spokeswoman Jackie Baillie said: "These figures make grim reading for Scotland, and speak to an SNP government with the wrong priorities. "The increase in unemployment in the north east confirms that the SNP government sat on their hands whilst we saw an oil jobs crisis that saw thousands of jobs lost." She added: "We are seeing fewer jobs under this SNP government than in 2008, and the gap is growing." Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "The SNP cannot run away from the fact that unemployment in the rest of the UK is at a seven-year low while more people in Scotland are out of work. "While the SNP were busy plotting a second referendum, declaring war on the BBC and doing everything they can to distract from their record in government, 18,000 more Scots found themselves out of work." Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) general secretary Grahame Smith described the latest figures as "particularly worrying". He added: "Unemployment is now back on a clear upward trend and working age employment is lower than it was a year ago. "Whilst it is difficult to be precise about why Scotland's labour market performance is increasingly weak relative to the rest of the UK, it is highly likely that job losses in the oil and gas sector are now having a tangible impact on the aggregate statistics." The Silicon Valley giants had fought over whether Google used Oracle's Java programming language in its Android mobile operating system. Two weeks ago the same jury ruled that Google infringed Oracle's copyright, but could not agree whether Google's actions constituted "fair use". The internet search giant maintains Android was built "from scratch". Oracle sued Google in August 2010, saying Android infringed its intellectual property rights. Google said it does not violate Oracle's patents and that Oracle cannot copyright certain parts of Java, which is an "open-source", or publicly available, software language. Without a finding against Google on the "fair use" issue, Oracle cannot recover the up to $1bn (£637m) in damages it was seeking. The case focused not on using the Java programming language itself, but rather the use of 37 application programming interfaces (APIs) which help developers create software on the platform. With internet innovation moving fast, it is common for software writers to adapt APIs that mini-programs use to "talk" to one another. The jury concluded that Google infringed on 37 copyrighted APIs but it also agreed that Google demonstrated that it was led to believe it did not need a license for using Java. Total UK sales were barely changed, up 0.1% compared with the same month last year, while like-for-like sales, which exclude new store space, fell 1.0%. The bank holiday was on 31 August, but both the BRC and the Office for National Statistics judge that the month officially ended on 29 August. It means September's figures will be boosted by back-to-school purchases. The bank holiday applied in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Retailers report their sales on a weekly basis from Sunday to Saturday, which means that monthly figures do not necessarily cover the whole of a calendar month. Instead, a quarter will be made up of two four-week periods and a five week period. This is only particularly important when key shopping days such as bank holidays officially fall in different months from year to year, which makes comparisons difficult. Clothing and footwear sales were both hit through missing the key days of back-to-school purchases, but food sales were up 0.3% in the three months to August. "At this time of the year parents are busily shopping for back-to-school essentials like clothes, footwear and stationery and those sales will peak later this year," said BRC director general Helen Dickinson. "Large-ticket item categories like furniture and household appliances also experienced a decline in sales, again likely affected by the bank holiday distortion." Mao, one of the founders of the Chinese Communist Party, was one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th Century, but his legacy continues to divide opinions. After he launched the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), millions of people were forced into manual labour and tens of thousands were executed as counter-revolutionaries. The mainland Chinese media have mostly been playing down news of various activities that were staged in some cities over the weekend to commemorate the birth anniversary. But over in Hong Kong, the Apple Daily says "Mao fans" staged rallies in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, as well as smaller cities further inland such as Nanchang and Taiyuan. On Saturday, students and teachers from the Taiyuan University of Science and Technology carried portraits of Mao and shouted "Swear allegiance to Mao Zedong", "Mao Zedong is our only centre" and "the Cultural Revolution is back", the paper says. Students also reportedly recited poetry in homage to Mao, while others danced and sang: "China has Mao Zedong, he is the people's great saviour!" Mao impersonator Zhang Ruiqi even mimicked the late helmsman's voice to deliver a speech during the rally. However, one local dissident suspects that the rally was staged deliberately by certain groups for political ends. "Some of them are Mao leftists and some are the black hand of the authorities fanning the flames behind the scenes and exploiting the ignorance of young people to achieve their political goals," Deng Taiqing tells the Apple Daily. The Apple Daily also voices dismay at the revival of Mao fever and accuses Ai Yuejin, a "leftist" professor at Tianjin's Nankai University, of "whitewashing" the Cultural Revolution. "During the Cultural Revolution, there was a satellite space launch, a successful missile test and a nuclear submarine launch. During the Cultural Revolution, we defeated Soviet revisionism, entered the United Nations and established diplomatic relations with more than 60 countries," Prof Ai said in a lecture at the Taiyuan University of Science and Technology last week. Prof Ai added: "Were these 60 countries fools for establishing diplomatic relations with a country in catastrophe?" The nationalist Beijing newspaper Global Times defends Mao's mistakes and achievements, saying revolutions usually have a brutal side and that it is impossible to judge Mao's Communist revolution, and its excesses, from a "humanitarian perspective". "The belief that Mao Zedong is already 'discredited' in Chinese society is just a naive fantasy... A number of people are engaged in activities to dig away at China's political foundations in the name of historical debate. They should be resisted by Chinese mainstream society," it says. Meanwhile, concern over increasing volatility in mainland society is another key theme in Monday's media. A 53-year-old courier tricycle driver set himself alight with petrol after he was stopped by police officers for alleged traffic violations in Tangshan, Hebei province, on Saturday. The driver also tried to grab a police officer after setting himself alight. The two were later sent to a hospital with burns. Writing on news website Red Net, commentator Qiao Zhifeng casts doubt on the local police's account that the driver had intentionally planned the self-burning to show "discontent" because he had been pulled over by traffic police many times for similar violations. "In a normal, harmonious society, how could someone vent 'discontent' through self-immolation? Social wealth is unequal, the gap between rich and poor is widening, corruption is myriad, social justice is frequently trampled upon, and social moral standards keep sliding downwards. "If these deep-seated problems are not resolved, 100 ill-effects will arise, and if things go on like this, it will bring a greater threat of instability to society," he warns. Meanwhile, the Southern Metropolis Daily recounts a common tragic occurrence in China: Villagers taking their own lives to resist government land grabs. It recalls how a villager in Zhenghe County, Fujian province, set himself alight with petrol on 14 December after he was held back by relatives from throwing himself in front of the bulldozer of a demolition crew. And Hong Kong's Oriental Daily News notes that a woman in Jiaozuo, Henan province, committed suicide on Friday by ingesting pesticide after authorities forcibly demolished her business establishment, describing it as an "illegal construction". "Recently, the mainland has repeatedly had cases of people risking their lives to safeguard their rights... This proves that high-pressure stability maintenance cannot bring social harmony and it will only lead to more intense resistance. Society now is like a gunpowder keg and a single spark is enough to ignite a massive fire," it says. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

People in all walks of life have been trained to spot the signs of the disease so they can help sufferers. There are an estimated 720,000 people with dementia in England, although most have not been diagnosed. Prime Minister David Cameron called it "one of the greatest challenges of our lifetime". Charities warned there was still an "enormous amount" to do to help carers. The Dementia Friends plan was launched two years ago. Since then, sessions have been taking place in business offices and town halls across the country to explain what dementia is, what it is like to have the condition and what people can do to help if they meet someone with the symptoms. Emergency services and companies - including Marks & Spencer, Asda and Argos - have encouraged their staff to become dementia friends. Schools have also taken part. The total number of friends was close to 899,000 at the beginning of this month, but has now reached the original target of one million. Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Society, described the friends as a "real revolution". He added: "We are beginning to change for the better the lives of people with dementia and their carers. "In communities across the country, they are working to eradicate the isolation, fear and despair felt by so many affected by dementia." The government has announced that it will be spending more than £300m to tackle dementia in England over the next parliament, as part of plans which include: Mr Cameron said: "Dementia is one of the greatest challenges of our lifetime, and I am proud that we are leading the world in fighting it." Prof Alistair Burns, the national clinical director for dementia at NHS England, said: "We are beginning to change the way society respects and treats people with dementia. "We can change the lives of tens of thousands of people for the better if we can continue to raise awareness, invest in the search for new treatments, and most importantly improve the lives of people with dementia and their carers." A spokesman for the Carers Trust said the dementia friends initiative was a good thing, but that carers needed far more help. "There is still an enormous amount to be done. "Two-thirds of people with dementia are cared for at home by their family and friends enabling them to live at home and participate in community life. "Carers of people with dementia face particular difficulties due to the complex, unpredictable and progressive nature of the illness, and often have poor health outcomes themselves. "Carers need consistent information and support to enable them and the person they are caring for to remain active and well." Poults took time out to answer your Twitter questions sent to BBC Sport and gives his advice to aspiring golfers and to Arsenal's board. When did you start playing golf? And who got you into playing it? Dominic Clemons "I started playing when I was about five. My dad cut an old three wood down - took off the sole plate, pulled out the lead weight that was in the bottom in those days and taped up where the grip should be with pipe tape and that was my starting club." What's your favourite major and why? Also what do you believe is the best part of your game? Jacob Cutts "My favourite major would be the Open Championship. Every Englishman is obviously going to want to put their hands on that Claret Jug. In respect to the best part of my game, I would think mentally I am pretty strong. That's always been a very strong part of my game. I've always felt in certain situations I have been able to pull on my mental strength." Quite an obvious question, but what is your favourite Ryder Cup moment that you played in? Joe Pye "Saturday afternoon at Medinah is probably going to be no surprise to nobody. To play in the last match of the afternoon - when the matches were 10-4 down and Sergio Garcia and Luke Donald winning their point to get it to 10-5 - Rory and I closed out our match on the last hole. That was a pretty special moment." When was the closest you felt you came to landing a major? Robert Gray "I would say when I finished runner-up at the Open in 2008 at Royal Birkdale. To post the clubhouse lead, at that point, I felt I had a chance to win. "There's no pain in that at all. I loved every minute of it. There's too many ifs and buts and you can go through your whole life saying 'if, if, if'. It was a great week and finishing second was pretty special." What is or was your favourite course you've played on? Michael Briggs "I would say St Andrews in Scotland. The reason is that's where I played my first Open Championship and it was my first experience on a proper links course. To be able to play my first Open at the home of golf holds fond memories." Would you trade your Ryder Cup performances for a major win? Jacob Bewicke "No. I would not trade anything for anything. I'm happy with my career to date. Obviously, I would like there to be a major in there. That's not a great question to ask me because I never feel you should give something up for something else. It has been my journey to date and I'm happy with my journey." What words of advice would you give to aspiring golfers out there? Andrew John Collins "Work hard, focus, follow your dreams and never say never. No Limits is the name of the autobiography and there is a reason because I never set limits and I wanted to achieve big things. A lot of people make the mistake of just setting a goal and when they achieve that they don't want to get to the next level. Think big and work hard." Is Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's time up? If so, who should the board be flirting with as a possible replacement? David Vincent "I don't think Arsene's time is up. I think the board need to hand over a couple of cheques for him to sign a couple of new players. They play great football but sometimes great football does not get the job done as we saw the other night - dominating the game against Manchester United simply didn't win that game. We need to be stronger as a team so, therefore, the team needs to have a few extra players. "Every Arsenal fan expects more from the club. After those years where they achieved great things, not a lot has happened in the eight years since. Of course, fans are going to be upset but I think the team just needs strengthening. "They need a centre-half, a holding midfielder but big guys and not little guys. The team is not the biggest of teams and they get pushed around too easily. They get overpowered in certain situations. They need another striker as well." Ian Poulter discusses his life story in his new autobiography, No Limits, and was speaking to Mandeep Sanghera. Kirk Nolan punched Ryan Watson on the face and neck at a flat in Larkhall, South Lanarkshire, on 11 August, after the victim mentioned his girlfriend. The 24-year-old, who was epileptic, died after suffering a brain injury and damage to a vital artery. Nolan, 28, admitted culpable homicide. Sentence was deferred and he was remanded in custody. As he was later being lead to the cells at the High Court in Glasgow, Nolan turned to Mr Watson's family and said: "I'm so, so sorry." The court heard how the two men, who were from Larkhall, had spent the day in "good spirits" renovating the garden of Nolan's uncle. Along with other friends, they later went to the flat of Nolan's girlfriend. It is believed the gathering was to remember a friend who had recently died in a car accident. The court was told that Mr Watson's pregnant girlfriend, Devina Beggs, was also there but she left at about 23:00. Prosecutor Bruce Erroch said Nolan and Mr Watson were in the living room "singing along to music" together and doing what one witness described as "this rapping kind of thing". He added: "Ryan was improvising words to a 'rap' including words about Nolan's girlfriend which he found offensive." The court heard the men then "grappled head-to-head" with each other. The advocate depute said: "In the course of that altercation, Nolan pushed Ryan forcefully once to the left face and neck area. "This caused him to twist and fall face first onto the sofa." The court was told that Mr Watson's lips turned blue and his eyes began rolling. One woman shouted Ryan was "fitting" and started giving him first aid. In a 999 call, she went on to state: "I've got an epileptic who's had a wee bit of an argument with his friend. He has passed out and he's turned blue." Mr Watson was rushed to hospital, but did not recover. The court heard he suffered a "massive" brain injury as well as damage to a vital artery "typically associated with a blow to the head or neck". Pathologists stated Ryan had been the victim of "significant blunt force trauma" consistent with having been pushed "forcefully". Both sides remain unbeaten after four games of the season, but Ebbsfleet finished the game the happier after coming from 2-0 and 3-1 adrift to share the spoils at the Chigwell Construction Stadium. Corey Whitely swept a shot into the left corner to nudge Dagenham ahead in the 22nd minute, and the same player saw a penalty saved by Nathan Ashmore later in the first half before team-mate Kevin Lokko made it 2-0 just before the interval as Ebbsfleet failed to deal with a corner. Jack Powell came off the bench and immediately cracked in a 58th-minute free-kick to give Ebbsfleet hope. They slipped 3-1 behind after Morgan Ferrier curled in a super strike, but the gap was again cut when Luke Coulson found the target, and Danny Kedwell delighted the Ebbsfleet support with an 80th-minute headed leveller.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up. It said the Mu Du Bong was a legitimate commercial ship and its detention a "rampant violation" of sovereignty. But a UN expert says the ship belongs to North Korea's Ocean Maritime Management, which is on a UN blacklist. In July 2013 one of its ships was seized in Panama after Soviet-era weapons and fighter jets were found hidden under sugar sacks. United Nations sanctions ban most arms shipments to North Korea. Under resolutions adopted after Pyongyang's nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009, the export of all arms and related parts, with the exception of small arms and light weapons, to the communist country is prohibited. The Mu Du Bong ran aground on a reef off Mexico's Veracruz state in July 2014. North Korea says it has since paid a bond to cover damage to the reef. Speaking at a news conference at the UN on Wednesday, North Korea's deputy ambassador An Myong Hun said the ship and its crew should be released. "This ship is totally a peaceful and legitimate commercial ship which sails under the direction of the Ministry of Land and Sea Transportation," he said. "The detention of Mu Du Bong is a rampant violation of the dignified sovereignty of the DPRK [North Korea]." But Hugh Griffiths, co-ordinator of the UN panel that oversees sanctions violations, told journalists that there was "overwhelming" evidence to show the ship was linked to OMM. A spokesman for Mexico's UN mission, meanwhile, told AFP news agency his country was "fulfilling our international obligation under Security Council resolutions". OMM was blacklisted by the UN in July 2014. The UN said it had played a key role in arranging the shipment of concealed arms found in Panama. The Chong Chon Gang was stopped on the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal on 15 July 2013 over suspicions it was carrying drugs. It had disappeared from satellite tracking for a few days as it approached the Cuban capital, Havana, having departed from Russia's eastern coast three months earlier. On searching the vessel, officials found military hardware including two Soviet-era MiG-21 fighter aircraft, air defence systems, missiles and command and control vehicles. Cuban authorities said that the ship was carrying 240 tonnes of "obsolete" defensive weapons. The North Korean government insisted the ageing weapons were simply being transferred to North Korea to be repaired, before returning them. But the US envoy to the UN, Samantha Power, described the episode as a "cynical, outrageous and illegal attempt" by Cuba and North Korea to circumvent UN sanctions. Cars carrying Mr Sisi and other officials drove down the red carpet on Saturday as they were visiting projects in 6 October City, a suburb of Cairo. Several commentators questioned the apparent extravagance, just as the president was making a speech about the need to cut government subsidies. The military said the carpet was meant to give joy to the Egyptian people. Criticism of Mr Sisi, a former military chief who led the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013, is rare in mainstream Egyptian media. But media personalities and activists mocked the fact that pictures of the presidential motorcade driving down a road covered in red carpet were broadcast shortly before Mr Sisi gave a speech in which he warned the state could not continue subsidising water and electricity bills for low-income families. Youssef al-Husseini, a presenter on the private ON TV, asked: "How could you reach such a level of hypocrisy by rolling out red carpets on the streets for the president's motorcade? Could we not have spent the money on buying duvets for people freezing in the cold?" Haytham Muhammadayn, a member of the Revolutionary Socialist movement, posted a screengrab on Facebook with the comment: "Sisi is trampling on the people's money." However, the deputy head of the military's moral affairs department, Brig Ihab al-Qahwaji, stressed that the carpet was only made of light cloth and had been used for more than three years. "The carpet is not expensive, and it was used before and will be used in other coming ceremonies," he told CBC TV on Sunday. "We want to give the impression that Egypt is moving in the right direction, and we want to present a bit of joy to our people," he added. Tebow, winner of the 2007 Heisman Trophy for best college footballer, will play in the Mets Instructional League. In August, the 29-year-old former Denver Broncos and New York Jets player announced his plan to change sports. He has not started an NFL game since 2012 and has not played competitive baseball since high school. Tebow's last NFL team was the Philadelphia Eagles where he appeared in four pre-season games before being cut in September 2015. He recently held a workout event in front of scouts and media in Los Angeles in a bid to earn a professional contract.

Yn gynharach yn ystod y prynhawn, fe gollwyd cysylltiad gyda'r hofrennydd, a chafodd Gwylwyr y Glannau eu galw am 16:15.

As founder and chair of charity CEO Sleepout UK, Mr Preston not only braved the chilly temperatures himself, but persuaded around 180 other company bosses, MPs and community leaders to join him. The corporate sleepers included teams from Coca-Cola European Partners, Morgan Stanley, William Hill and Greene King. The point of the night - this time held at Lord's Cricket Ground in London - was to raise money for homeless charities. The charity holds similar events across the UK each year, urging company executives to get sponsored to "swap your briefcase for a sleeping bag for one night". On this occasion the night raised £180,000, which as Mr Preston admits is "not huge" but can still "make the difference to people between being on the streets or being back in the system - holding down a job and paying tax". Yet isn't it a bit, well, insensitive for highly paid executives to play at being homeless for a night? Mr Preston, who started the charity in 2014, is adamant that they're "not pretending to be homeless", and says the aim of the experience is to show people some of the realities of not having a home. "People give up a night of comfort, a night of luxury, they give up their time, they miss their family and friends. "So there's a small sacrifice, it's uncomfortable, it's not very nice, but it raises awareness of an issue," he says. He admits that the experience sometimes has no impact on an individual, but says that in some cases it can change someone's perspective on life. "It's very easy for people who have the good fortune to make money, whether that's through pure skill and hard work or a bit of luck, it doesn't matter. "I think that when that happens to someone they can become very detached." Mr Preston himself used to work as a financial markets trader. He ran a number of trading businesses for international financial organisations, before later creating and managing a large hedge fund group for a European bank. "I personally believe that if you have the good fortune to make some money or be influential, there should be more pressure on you to give more time or more money or raise more attention to help other people," he says. For chief executives under pressure to deliver the latest quarterly result to shareholders, it's easy to imagine that charitable endeavours may take a back seat. But Mr Preston is adamant that showing compassion should be part of a chief executive's role and one that shareholders should demand, arguing that "rolling up their sleeves and getting involved" is good for leadership and part of a firm's role within the wider community. Reporting on their giving activity used to be a mandatory part of their annual report for publicly listed firms in the UK. However, in 2013 this became optional. Since then, 13 of the UK's biggest firms have stopped reporting on their charitable activity, according to Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), which says the shift has been "disappointing". "Given the size and influence these businesses have over the sector, it is concerning that, without knowledge of their contributions, they may no longer be able to set an example for the rest of the business sector in the UK," says Klara Kozlov, head of corporate clients at CAF CAF's most recently available research shows charitable donations by the UK's 100 largest publicly listed firms fell 17% to £2.1bn in 2014, the lowest level since 2009, although this was in line with a similar drop in profit. Yet the charity's research shows that the majority of companies that evaluate their corporate responsibility activities find it has a positive impact on their reputation, improves customer engagement and can help them attract new staff. Aside from the evidence of the advantages philanthropy can provide, Stewart Butterfield, chief executive of the company behind workplace communications tool Slack, believes profitable firms have a duty to give money to charity. The US start-up hit the headlines when it achieved a $1bn (£813m) valuation within eight months of its 2014 launch and is now valued at almost $4bn. "Pretty much every employee here is in an incredibly fortunate position vis-a-vis the rest of the world in the amount of wealth that is created in this industry, and especially in markets like ours where it's incredibly fast-growing," he says. Last year, the firm, which has offices around the world, raised enough money from staff and its founders to directly sponsor two Syrian families to move to Canada. While he acknowledges the firm's main purpose is business, not charity, he says they are still part of a community and "would like the company to have a good impact as well". However, Anthony Goldbloom, chief executive and founder of San Francisco-based Kaggle, a website which runs competitions for coding experts to solve problems, says in reality unless corporate social responsibility is made mandatory for firms, most won't make it a real focus. "CEOs are going to do what they are judged on. I think that it's really the role of government to correct market failure and set a policy framework that means company incentives are in line with societal norms," he says. But CEO coach and author Steve Tappin believes those at the top can help drive the change by acting as role models. "A more charitable approach doesn't just mean events or donations - it means changing attitudes," he says. "The best CEOs know it's not just about giving money, it's about getting personally involved and that means connecting better with people and communities." This feature is based on interviews by CEO coach and author Steve Tappin, and by series producer Neil Koenig, for the BBC's CEO Guru series. The leader of the world's largest Communist Party will take to the stage at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Swiss ski resort arguing for globalisation and the wonders of free trade. At the same time as the US - the home of capitalism - has a new president saying that the present free trade rules need to be ripped up. The Dragon is here to embrace Switzerland's annual rich fest. And it's keen to be seen as a member of the club. President-elect Donald Trump wants to take a baseball bat to the club house and build a new one. President Xi Jinping is the first Chinese president to visit the WEF. His message is likely to be uncompromising. After Chinese officials warned against "nativism" last week - a direct reference to Mr Trump - Mr Xi is expected to say that global free trade has brought prosperity and that moves against it will only harm economic growth. Yes, he may nod to the need for globalisation to be seen to be working for all. But he will be clear that more trade is the route to prosperity, for Asia and Western economies. China is making a very major point via Mr Xi's visit to the WEF. With other leaders, notably Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, staying away, China is bringing the largest delegation it has ever mustered. Business leaders such as Jack Ma - the founder of the global internet giant Alibaba - are in Davos, as is Wang Jianlin, another of China's richest men and chairman of the property developer Dalian Wanda. The message is clear. America might start looking inward, but China is seeking to extend its influence, and the chosen route is economics. The big push at the WEF, the launch of the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank to rival the US dominated World Bank, the revival of the "Silk Route" trade corridor from Asia to the Middle East and Europe - all point in one direction, and it's towards Mr Xi's enthusiasm for a more expansionist China. Economics is wielded as a tool of influence. The WEF full court press from Mr Xi comes at the same time as Mr Trump has made his position on China clear. Although we have yet to discover what President-elect Trump will actually do when he takes office on Friday, the fact that he hired one of America's toughest China hawks, Peter Navarro, as the head of his new National Trade Council, suggests little change from Campaigning Trump. And Campaigning Trump accused China of currency manipulation and "raping" America, saying that cheap Chinese exports had led to the loss of US jobs. I wrote about China's hyper-chilly reaction to that allegation and what Mr Navarro might mean for Sino/US relations here. So far, Mr Trump is talking tough. A strong supporter, Anthony Scaramucci, who is set to be hired as another of Mr Trump's business advisors, will also speak at Davos. And rather than extol the virtues of the present structures of world trade, he is likely to focus on what he sees as the weaknesses. In the past he has backed Mr Navarro's criticism that allowing China to join the World Trade Organisation under President Bill Clinton was a decision that American industry "has never recovered from". The contrast with President Xi will be stark. And will reveal the tension simmering between the two largest economies in the world - a tension that will define the health of the global economy over the next decade. Paul Stretford was a Rylands player for a decade from the mid-1970s and became actively involved again four years ago after meeting an old team-mate on an errand to the chemists for his dad. He has since spent £100,000 on ground improvements. He said: "Does my work as an agent have any longevity? Probably not. With Rylands I can create a legacy." Reaching the Football League from their present position would require seven promotions and cost the Warrington-based club millions of pounds. Stretford said: "Why not aim for the Football League? There is no point setting a target we could achieve tomorrow. It might take 10 years, or 20. It might not happen in my lifetime. But you have to aim for the stars." Through his work as an agent, his company also acts for Leicester duo Kasper Schmeichel and Danny Simpson, amongst others, and Stretford is used to doing deals at the very highest levels of the game. There is no glamour attached to Rylands, who have just opened changing rooms by their Gorsey Lane pitch and a stand, named after Stretford's father, club stalwart Ron. There are plans for floodlights in the next stage of development as Stretford looks to old rivals Fleetwood Town, now in League One, for inspiration. "I played league games for Rylands against Fleetwood in the 1970s," said Stretford. "What they have done shows you nothing is impossible." Stretford says his involvement is "not exactly philanthropic" but accepts "there is no return" on his investment. "It stems from a love of football," he said. "We have to do what we can to help the grassroots of the game survive. Without that the game is going nowhere." Police said the problem had affected the trunk road between Drumnadrochit and Invermoriston, half a mile north of Altsigh. Traffic lights are in place. The same stretch of road was shut for several days in March after two large rocks fell on the road. An old oak tree falling into a boulder field was believed to have caused the rocks to slide down onto the A82. Following the latest incident, Police Scotland has said motorists should check Traffic Scotland for updates. The sold-out performance of the 13 November Stratford-upon-Avon show will also be shown live in cinemas. "We want to bring the work we make... to the widest possible audience," said RSC artistic director Gregory Doran. "Taking our productions live into cinemas and direct into schools is the next logical step." Richard II runs in Stratford from 10 October to 16 November before transferring to the Barbican in London in December. A recording of the live performance will be streamed direct into up to 1,000 schools on 15 November, accompanied by a live studio link-up hosted by Konnie Huq. Members of the creative team, including Doran and Tennant, will take part in a live online Q&A as part of the initiative. Two further RSC Shakespeare plays will be filmed live during 2014, the titles of which will be announced in September. Tennant - recently seen in ITV drama Broadchurch and The Politician's Husband on BBC Two - previously worked with the RSC on its hit 2008 production of Hamlet. Doran, who directed that production, will also direct Richard II, which tells of a king whose vanity and weakness threatens to drag England into a dynastic civil war. Speaking to the Guardian, Doran said it was "very important" that a way was found to "re-imagine" the production for a cinema audience. "It mustn't just be like having a security camera peering at the stage," continued the director, who took over from previous RSC chief Michael Boyd last year. The 22-year-old was fishing with a party including his brother and nephew in a boat off Hartlepool Headland. Police said his foot got tangled in fishing net ropes and he fell into the water at about 18:45 BST on Friday. He was in the water for a short time before an RNLI crew came to his aid, but despite their efforts he died. The Coastguard and air ambulance were also involved in the rescue effort. The RNLI said the man had been setting lobsterpots when the accident happened. The squad is a group of mates, most of whom have day jobs off the pitch which have nothing to do with sport. And yet they have toured the US, Serbia, Ireland and Jersey, had their own kit custom-made by sportswear giant Umbro and average 700,000 views per match. They've also played at the UK's top stadiums including Wembley and the Etihad, as well as the O2 Arena and Everton's training ground. And it's all thanks to a carefully crafted presence on YouTube. Crucially, the team didn't start life as total unknowns. Captain Spencer Owen was already a successful football and gaming YouTuber in his own right, and now has nearly two million followers. "He has always wanted to own his own football club," says Seb Carmichael-Brown, who is also Spencer's brother. "But it's not viable for a 28-year-old YouTuber. So we thought, let's start his own." Sunday league activity already has an established YouTube presence - like the Palmers FC team, who have 200,000 followers - so the brothers decided to build something a bit different. Inspired by EA video game franchise Fifa, they devised a tournament in which the team would play real matches within a fictional league, working their way from fifth to first division, where they are currently. They are promoted or relegated depending on a points system dictated by match wins - their current target is to reach 22 points in order to top their own first division. This way, Hashtag United can choose their opponents, and include teams from other big YouTube channels like Copa90 and the F2Freestylers as well as sponsored teams. It also secures occasional access to the big stadiums - sometimes through sponsored deals with, say, BT Sport, and sometimes because they play a team connected to a particularly hallowed arena. So, for example, a match against Arsenal community team Arsenal For All got them on to the pitch of the Emirates Stadium. They also work full-time on creating YouTube material. The team post a match video every two weeks but the channel is peppered with behind-the-scenes videos, fronted by Spencer, showing them travelling, setting up, chatting about forthcoming events among themselves. A six-person camera crew attends matches, and it takes four to five weeks for a tightly edited match video to find its way on to the official channels. It costs "thousands" to put on a match in this way, says Mr Carmichael-Brown. Although sponsorship is lucrative - the team's US tour was paid for by Coca-Cola - overheads are also large. "Hashtag United have hit a rich vein - younger, digitally native fans alienated from the professional game who just love football," said social media strategist Sue Llewellyn. "This is a classic example of keeping it real and personal - talk to your fans like you would talk to your mates. It's all about trust these days. Younger people don't like big faceless corporates, they want a more personal, more authentic experience." In addition to successful memorabilia and merchandise marketing (the current strip is sold out, says Mr Carmichael-Brown), Hashtag ran an X Factor-style search for a new player, which attracted 20,000 applicants, they claim, and has resulted in a couple of signings. Then there's the successful Hashtag e-sports team playing professional Fifa. Team manager Tassal Rushan was crowned regional champion in Paris during EA's FUT Championship earlier this year - a professional Fifa competition played by e-sports teams from around the world. The north London ground which the Hashtag football team call their regular home only has the capacity for 1,000 spectators, and the team try hard to keep match dates under wraps. "We are primarily making videos for YouTube rather than creating live events," says Mr Carmichael-Brown. "A lot of our games go out four to five weeks later. If we have a big crowd, they'll all have their phones, and the results will leak." However, people do try to figure out the venue, he admits, and will turn up on the off-chance that they might catch Hashtag United in action. "We have recently thought about ways we might move towards a model where all the games are open," he said. Perhaps that will form part of the next chapter in the life of Hashtag United - planning is well under way as the team races to the top of its self-created Division One. Mr Carmichael-Brown is tight-lipped but says the announcement will be made "in the coming months". Strong, fast, tall, athletic player. Joined: three months ago, via the Academy series Workman, warrior, very good with both feet Joined: at the start Very fast - and the team's second top goalscorer Joined: at the start. "It'll be hugely important for them to stay real - in other words stay true to their roots and not end up in the elite player position of being spoilt by money," said Sue Llewellyn. "They will also need to be agile in such a fast-moving space, keep innovating and finding new ways to engage their fans." That said, social media and sport are a natural partnership, she adds. "Sports fans are passionate about their game. It's a basic human need to belong and to want to feel we matter. "Being part of a digital tribe fulfils that need and it brings people together wherever they are in the world and whatever physical skill level they have." He said, with a grin, that he "really liked how she was speaking into the microphone" in her Berlin appearance. The next day he denied it was sexual, saying he was instead complimenting her voice which is "like a jazz radio DJ". He is regarded as a protege of presenter Bill O'Reilly, recently fired by Fox over sexual harassment claims. A few hours after Mr Watters' denial, he made the surprise announcement on-air that he was taking a previously unannounced holiday. Following a baseball clip, he told the Fox panellists: "Also, I'm going to be taking a vacation with my family, so I'm not going to be here tomorrow." The show moved on to a segment about a sloth born at the Memphis zoo. "I'll be back on Monday, so don't miss me too much," he added. His Saturday show, Watters' World, will be covered by a colleague. He made his controversial Ivanka remarks on the show The Five, which was moved to a primetime time slot after Fox announced Mr O'Reilly's departure last week. "It's funny, the left says they really respect women, and then when given an opportunity to respect a woman like that, they boo and hiss," he said about audience members at the female entrepreneurship discussion in Berlin. "So I don't really get what's going on here, but I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone," he said, looking directly into the camera. Mr Watters has drawn controversy for segments about New York City's homeless population and the city's Chinatown district. Last month he interviewed President Donald Trump while aboard Air Force One, becoming one of only 45 people that the president follows on Twitter. The sudden announcement comes as the network scrambles to recover from multiple allegations of sexual harassment that have led to the resignations of Mr O'Reilly and Fox News founder and CEO Roger Ailes. On Tuesday, long-time Fox reporter Kelly Wright joined a lawsuit with 12 other current and former employees alleging that executives knew about sexual and racial discrimination, but did nothing to stop it. Mr Wright, who has worked at Fox since 2003 accused the network of "plantation-style management," saying that co-president Bill Shine obsessively focused on Mr Wright's race, which is African-American. He also said that Mr O'Reilly refused to show a series on his programme about the racial divide in Ferguson, Missouri, because it showed "blacks in too positive a light". Fox News has said it "vehemently denies the race discrimination" allegations. US media-watchers and on-air news personalities have taken to Twitter to react to Mr Watters comment. PSA Group has scheduled a press conference with GM for Monday morning in Paris. The two companies had wanted to announce a deal before the start of the Geneva motor show on Tuesday. The sale could threaten the jobs of 4,500 workers at Vauxhall's plants at Ellesmere Port and Luton. Union officials said on Sunday that Vauxhall staff had endured a "nerve-wracking" few weeks. Buying GM's loss-making European operations will make PSA the continent's second-biggest car maker after Volkswagen and ahead of French rival Renault. PSA and GM Europe sold a combined 4.3 million vehicles last year and posted revenues of 71.6bn euros (£61.9bn). The two companies already share some production and confirmed last month they were in talks. Opel had hoped to return to profitability by 2016, but the slide in sterling following the EU referendum last June contributed to its 257m euros annual loss. In contrast, Ford Europe managed to make a pre-tax profit last year despite the pound's collapse. Opel has failed to emulate Ford or PSA in reducing overcapacity at its factories, despite closing a plant in the western German city of Bochum with the loss of 3,000 jobs in 2014. Stefan Bratzel, of Germany's Center of Automotive Management, said: "Opel suffers more from overcapacity than other European carmakers, meaning it has to offer big discounts to keep up a certain level of production and that hits its profitability." In a bid to protect its Buick and Chevrolet brands, GM has not allowed Opel to expand outside Europe. "All the western carmakers have been making their money in the Chinese market these past few years," said Marc Staudenmayer of the Advancy management consultancy. "Opel wasn't allowed to do that, which explains its underperformance since 2005. Opel was reined in too much by GM," he added. GM's European operations have lost money for 16 consecutive years and were almost sold in 2009. For PSA, the deal caps a stellar two-year recovery under chief executive Carlos Tavares, who is expected to slash costs at Opel in a bid to generate savings of up to 2bn euros a year. Jim Holder, of What Car? magazine, told the BBC: "PSA has capacity to build more cars in its own plants - it doesn't need these plants in Britain. "And of course there are obstacles in the way, with the currency fluctuations, the problems posed by Brexit with freedom of movement, freedom of movement for parts as well." Len McCluskey, general secretary of the Unite trade union, said he had spoken to the chief executives of GM and the PSA Group over the weekend. "While initial discussions with the PSA Group have been relatively positive, our priority now is to ensure a long-term future for our plants and the tens of thousands of workers depending on them," Mr McCluskey added. Greg Clark, the Business Secretary, said last month that Vauxhall workers had no reason to fear for their jobs. "We have a very strong domestic market and Vauxhall has a large share of that - something PSA recognises," he told MPs. "From my initial conversations I think it is understood that Vauxhall's plants are very efficient." Mr Tavares recently told analysts the acquisition offered an "opportunity to create a European car champion" and quickly exceed five million sales annually. PSA also plans to revamp Opel's model range. "There are market segments where Opel isn't very strong, like SUVs," Mr Staudenmayer said. Davies, 27, left for France in 2014 but the Wales centre is set to rejoin Scarlets for next season. "When they see him coming back, maybe the others will follow as well," said Thomas. Wing George North, out of contract at Northampton at the end of the season, is among those playing outside Wales. Other England-based players include Jamie Roberts, Bradley Davies, James Hook and Matthew Morgan, while Leigh Halfpenny, Luke Charteris and Mike Phillips play in France. Dan Lydiate has returned to Wales from French side Racing Metro, signing a national dual contract with the Welsh Rugby Union and Ospreys in December 2014. Welsh Rugby Union chief Martyn Phillips confirmed a deal is close for Davies to return to Parc y Scarlets, once his current Clermont deal expires at the end of the season. Thomas spent three years in France with Toulouse and believes Davies - who missed the World Cup because of a serious knee injury - will come back to Scarlets a "better player". "[Wales coach] Warren Gatland wants all his players at his disposal, closely in Wales," Thomas said. "He'll come back a better article and he'll give a lot to Scarlets but also to Welsh rugby. "He was sadly missed and to have him back now on our doorstep and to be able to see him play week in week out is huge."

The 23-year-old vanished during a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, last September. His mother Nicola Urquhart said she still believed someone knew what had happened to him. The reward, offered again by Suffolk businessman Colin Davey, was withdrawn in February because it had not led to any new information. On the Find Corrie Facebook page, Mrs Urquhart wrote she hoped the "life-changing" sum would help to find her son. "From the first time I spoke publicly about Corrie disappearing I have said someone knows - I still truly believe that," she said. "Suffolk police have carried out an enormous amount of work to try to find Corrie. "However, they can only continue to do this if they have lines of enquiry and information coming into them." Suffolk police said this week they still believed it was likely Mr Mckeague's remains were in a landfill site in Milton, Cambridgeshire, where they ended a 20-week search last month. The gunner, originally from Fife, had been serving at RAF Honington in Suffolk when he was last seen entering a bin loading bay - known as "the Horseshoe" - in Bury St Edmunds on 24 September. In the Facebook post, Mrs Urquhart said the landfill search had been "paused" while an independent review was carried out, which could recommend that Suffolk police still examine specific parts of the site. She urged anyone with information that it was "not too late to do the right thing" and call the force - even if they had done so before. "For your own soul and conscience please come forward - help us to find Corrie, I need my boy home," she wrote. A total of 28 people have been executed so far this year, Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC) figures show. Death sentences dropped 33% from last year's historic low, with only 49 people sentenced to death. For the first time since 1995, the number of people on death row fell below 3,000. Only six states carried out executions in 2015 - 13 of those were in Texas. Six capital punishments were carried out in Missouri - which in September was reported to be executing its death row inmates faster than any other state in the country - and five in Georgia. Texas, Missouri and Georgia accounted for 86% of all executions, says the DPIC, a group that opposes the death penalty and tracks executions. Death sentences have been steadily declining in the US over the past 15 years, the DPIC says. Its executive director, Robert Dunham, said that the use of the death penalty was becoming "increasingly rare and increasingly isolated" throughout the US. "These are not just annual blips in statistics, but reflect a broad change in attitudes about capital punishment across the country," Mr Dunham said. The DPIC figures revealed: Six death row prisoners were exonerated of all charges this year, one each in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas. Since 1973, a total of 156 inmates have been exonerated and freed from death row. Critics say there are inherent problems in how the death penalty is meted out in the US. Each state has individual laws about what types of murder are eligible for the death penalty - and within those states, similar crimes might be treated differently depending on the prosecutor. Source: Death Penalty Information Center Why is the US Supreme Court reviewing the lethal injection? Increased spending on cars, furniture, clothing and building materials led to a 0.9% rise in overall sales compared with February, the figures show. The figures suggest that shoppers are returning to stores after an unseasonably cold winter. Core sales - which strip out spending on cars, petrol, building materials and restaurants - rose 0.3%. Economists say that sales should continue to climb because of a year-long increase in the number of people in work, and lower petrol prices. The unemployment rate has fallen to 5.5%, and the US economy has added about 250,000 jobs per month during the past year, leading to around three million more people in work. At the same time, petrol has fallen to $2.39 (£1.62) a gallon, which is $1.30 cheaper than a year ago, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge. The total number of fatalities represent an increase of 4.6% on the previous year. More than half of the people killed in more than 500,000 road accidents last year were aged 15-34. Road accidents are common in India, often due to poor driving or badly maintained roads and vehicles. Experts blame poorly designed roads. A report released by India's ministry of road transport says: Transport minister Nitin Gadkari said there is an "urgent need" to improve road infrastructure as the numbers showed road accidents were one of the single biggest causes of death in India. "Accidents are killing more people in India than terrorism or natural disasters and yet we never talk about them," Mr Gadkari said. "It saddens me that there has been a negligible impact on reducing the number of deaths despite our best efforts in the past two years," he said. Mr Gadkari was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying his ministry was working to expand the country's highway network from 96,000 to 200,000km (60,000 to 124,000 miles) to ease the burden on the roads. Road accidents shave 3% off the country's GDP every year, he added. India's highway of death If no-one helps you after a car crash in India, this is why The ministry said it is trying to improve poorly designed roads, identify vulnerable spots, and deploy electronic surveillance to deter traffic offences. It is also in talks with state governments over a new road safety bill, which will be tabled in the next session of the parliament. The proposed law will crack down on traffic offences and suggests steep penalties for offenders, including minimum seven-year jail terms in accidents that result in deaths. Dancing With The Stars' Gleb Savchenko will join alongside Italian dance champion Giovanni Pernice and eight-times South African Latin American champion Otlile Mabuse. Favourites Ola Jordan, Brendan Cole, Anton Du Beke and Kristina Rihanoff will be back. But Iveta Lukosiute and Trent Whiddon will not be returning. And Robin Windsor, who had to pull out of last year's series due to a back injury, will also not feature in the forthcoming series. Lukosiute, who partnered rugby player Thom Evans last year, has been on the show for three years. She said it was a "pleasure to be part of this wonderful show". She said she will focus this year on her dance school in New York but "will be more than happy to stay involved with the show in the future". Australian Trent, who had previously appeared on Australian and American versions of the show, was brought in last year to replace the injured Windsor. As partner to one of last year's favourites, singer Pixie Lott, he was often top of the leader board. He said he "was very happy to be part of last season and very thankful for the opportunity". Windsor said he was "devastated" to miss out on last year's series due to injury. Today he tweeted his sadness at leaving. Fans have been tweeting their dismay at losing him. Lisa Riley, who partnered Windsor in 2012, tweeted he would be "a huge loss to the programme". "Sad day today finding out the PHENOMENAL @Robinwindsor will not be back on Strictly!He will be a HUGE loss to the programme! Love him" There had been a lot of press speculation at the end of the last series suggesting Jordan might not return to the show. Jordan - whose husband James was formerly on the show - had signed up for the C4 reality show The Jump but she was injured before the programme began earlier this year. She underwent knee surgery - amid fears for her dancing career - but is returning again to join the 16-strong line-up this autumn. Also back is Kevin Clifton along with his sister Joanne and fiance Karen Hauer. He tweeted that he would miss the three departing dancers, adding that they had all been a "pleasure to work with". The show returns to BBC One for its 13th series in the autumn when the celebrity line-up will be revealed.

In Wales alone, 5,000 items will be digitised. Lona Mason, visual images librarian at the library, said it was "a race against time" to save the recordings. "They're all on various formats, from old wax cylinder recordings, vinyl, tape recordings and cassettes, and they're vulnerable because they're decaying," she told the Newyddion 9 programme. "Also, we don't have the machines to play these type of formats anymore." The Welsh material will include interviews with Welsh migrants to North America and Patagonia, dialect recordings, interviews with industry workers, their families and the community, archives of Welsh traditional music and political speeches by national politicians. Linda Tomos, The National Library of Wales' chief executive, said: "This is great news for sound collections in Wales. The National Library is delighted to be part of this important project and is grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for their support in making this project possible. "This project will significantly contribute towards developing skills, providing training and preserving our sound heritage." The British Library estimates that 500,000 recordings in total could be saved via the project, called Unlocking Our Sound Heritage. When it comes to agriculture in the Midlands the poultry business is the second most valuable slice of our farming pie. It's behind dairy at number one but at £207m it's worth more than wheat, cattle or fruit. The Cargill plant is a huge part of that story. But most of us don't like to think too closely about where our chicken, lamb or beef actually comes from and perhaps not surprisingly the companies that produce it recognised that fact. They don't tend to go about shouting too loudly about what they do. So I was pleasantly surprised that this time they said "yes" to us filming. And they allowed us in at a very interesting time for the company. There's a revamped multi-million pound production line, a new boss just arrived from Kansas in America and some difficult questions for the poultry industry in general about the infection rates of a nasty food poisoning bug. Cargill has much to be proud about. It's a Midlands success story with a huge plant (which a long time ago used to be branded as "Sun Valley") in the middle of a £35m expansion programme, employing more than 2,000 people. In uncertain times rearing chicken is a good option for farmers near the plant looking to diversify. For consumers affordable, good quality chicken is a very popular choice. There are problems for the poultry industry however. Not least a food poisoning bug called campylobacter which is the main cause of food poisoning in the UK. A report earlier this year from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) found this bug on almost three quarters of all supermarket chickens. One expert called it a "national disgrace". Campylobacter is certainly serious. It is also common and found all over the place which means it's easy to pick up but hard for companies like Cargill to get rid of. Since the FSA report was published the entire industry has been looking hard at what it can do to reduce the levels in our raw chicken. Initially that's meant concentrating on the farm end of things and improving staff training and procedures. But companies like Cargill have also been working on introducing new technology to the chicken production line. Killing campylobacter is actually really simple, it can't survive extreme heat or cold. But the tricky bit is blasting freshly butchered meat with very hot steam or an icy blast and making sure you don't damage the meat in the process. Chicken that's safe but has the consistency of leather boots is no use to anyone. Cargill is now installing newly developed technology that will use steam and ultrasound to kill any lurking bacteria while preserving the quality of the meat. They showed us the space in the production line where the machine will go. But even before it starts work they say they have already managed to achieve a reduction in campylobacter rates. The Food Standards Agency will shortly start a new survey to see how the whole industry is doing. The big question for me as a reporter and fan of eating chicken was how would I feel when I went to see the slaughter process? This is an important part of my job as rural affairs correspondent and I have visited several slaughter houses. Here they use a process called gas stunning. The live chickens move through a deep pit filled with increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide. First they go to sleep, then they suffocate. The whole process is monitored by staff and a government vet. Cargill call this a world class facility and processes like gas stunning could well be exported to the rest of the group across the world. It compares very favourably to other older methods of large-scale chicken slaughter which involve live birds being hung up by their feet and dipped head-first into an electrified bath of water. So what are the thoughts of the new boss Mary Thompson? Freshly arrived from Kansas she was very clear when I asked her what the plan for the whole site was. "Growth" she said. And for the staff and farmers who work with Cargill that's good news. Wednesday's clashes happened in the town of al-Bab, which Turkey is helping rebels take from IS control. A further 33 Turkish soldiers were reported wounded. It is the Turkish military's biggest loss in a single day since launching its military operation in Syria in August. The army said IS used multiple suicide bombs, with 138 IS fighters killed in the fighting. This toll could not be verified independently. As another key Syrian battleground - Aleppo - appears close to coming fully under Syrian government control, the fight for al-Bab has intensified. The strategic town - which is about 20km (12 miles) from the Turkish border - has been the focus of the four-month Turkish offensive, aimed at pushing back IS and Kurdish forces. Turkey says its military operation has wrought heavy losses on IS and that it is close to breaking the group's resistance in al-Bab, the BBC's Middle East analyst, Sebastian Usher says. The question remains as to how far it wishes to go in Syria - and whether it will play a role in the eventual operation to drive IS out of its de facto capital in the country, Raqqa, our correspondent adds. The Belgian champions say the move to the club in northern China is for six months only. Acheampong, who turned out at left back for Ghana during the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, regularly played as a winger for Anderlecht, who signed him in 2013. The 23-year-old joins Nigerians John Mikel Obi and Brown Ideye at the club, which lies 13th in the 16-team league. The bottom two teams in the Chinese Super League, which is at the midway stage of its season, will be relegated. During his two seasons with Anderlecht, Acheampong won two league titles - in 2014 and 2017. China's transfer window closes on 14 July. Sebastian Zuchlinski, 39, was found injured in Davenport Street, Bolton, on 6 February and died at the scene. Post-mortem tests confirmed he had suffered multiple knife wounds. Mr Zuchlinski's girlfriend Anna said his death was "a massive loss". His mother said he was "a loving son, brother and father to his 15-year-old daughter Kinga". "His jokes and his smile will be greatly missed," she added. A 37-year-old man, from Bolton, has been charged with murder and is due before Bolton Crown Court in March. General Michael Hayden was talking off-the-record to journalists by phone when he was overheard by another passenger, a former political activist. Tom Matzzie said he waited half an hour before live-tweeting comments about US renditions and a "famous BlackBerry". The comments went viral on news websites and late-night television. Gen Hayden, who was alerted to the Twitter feed within about 15 minutes, then offered an interview to Mr Matzzie, who is now head of a company called Ethical Electric. "I just had a very nice conversation with Michael Hayden. He was a gentleman and we disagree," Mr Matzzie later tweeted. The two men were on a high-speed Acela train travelling from Washington, DC to New York late on Thursday afternoon. Mr Matzzie began tweeting details of the conversations from what he said was a distance of 8ft (about 2.4m) away. "On Acela listening to former NSA spy boss Michael Hayden give 'off record' interviews. I feel like I'm in the NSA. Except I'm in public," Mr Matzzie's Twitter feed read. The National Security Agency has come under intense criticism after revelations by ex-CIA contractor Edward Snowden that US intelligence conducted extensive web and phone surveillance on targets at home and abroad. Mr Snowden now faces espionage charges in the US and has been granted temporary asylum in Russia. Gen Hayden has defended his former agency's operations in the past and Mr Matzzie wrote that Thursday's interviews were also focused on NSA surveillance of foreign allies. As the former head of MoveOn.org Political Action, Mr Matzzie once campaigned against the US-led war in Iraq. He made clear his own feelings about the former NSA and CIA chief with a tweet reading, "There is a faint smell of sulfur on the train." He said Gen Hayden asked journalists to refer to him as a "former senior administration official" for comments described as "disparaging" to President Barack Obama's administration. Gen Hayden later gave a statement to the Reuters news agency saying he "didn't criticise" the president. "I actually said these are very difficult issues. I said I had political guidance, too, that limited the things that I did when I was director of NSA. Now that political guidance is going to be more robust. It wasn't a criticism," Gen Hayden said. The 27-year-old returned to the UK this summer, four years after leaving Dundee United for Lech Poznan followed by a spell at Konyaspor. "There's so many different aspects of the game you see, different points of view from different countries," Douglas told BBC WM. "Being back here is a new adventure again, a new manager, new ideas." In 2010, before joining Dundee United, Douglas was playing to just hundreds of fans at Queen's Park; five years later he was lifting the Ekstraklasa title with Lech Poznan in Poland in front of crowds more than 40,000. "I went over and saw the place and it looked exciting," Douglas said. "I did well and then the opportunity came to go to Turkey. At that point, I was probably a lot more open-minded to go anywhere, so I embraced it. "It was more than just football, it was a chance to see parts of the world you would never see. "It's definitely opened my eyes - it's a big world out there, it's not just limited to Britain." Douglas, who made his Wolves debut in Saturday's 1-0 win over Middlesbrough. is now hoping to bring his experience to the Molineux dressing room - and still hopes one day to receive a first Scotland call-up. "It's an exciting time to be at Wolves," he said. "They've clearly shown that they have big ambitions, which as a player is great because it gives us a lot of big targets to hit. "It's everybody's ambition to play for their country. If it happens, it happens. I just need to focus on doing well for myself and for my club." The judges said the consent of the father was not required if the mother did not wish to disclose his identity. Monday's ruling overturned earlier court orders which said a woman needed the father's consent if she wanted to be a legal guardian of her child. Women's rights activists have welcomed the ruling and called it "progressive". The case was filed by a Delhi mother who had asked the court's permission to become her child's "legal guardian" without informing the father who, she said, did not know about the child's existence. A trial court and the Delhi high court had earlier ruled that she needed to disclose the father's name and get his consent for the purpose. But on Monday, Justices Vikramjit Sen and Abhay Manohar Sapre said there was "no need to insist on the father's name" and that in the case of an unwed mother, her "name is sufficient". The judgement has been praised by lawyers and activists: Ed Miliband's foray into the topic last Friday in a speech at Chatham House was lost amid an acrimonious dispute over who should bear responsibility for the rising death toll of migrants crossing the Mediterranean. In fact, the next British government will face one of the most challenging periods in British foreign policy since the aftermath of 9/11 and will have constrained resources with which to do so. British politicians will need to take time from their daunting economic dossier to address five critical external challenges to British prosperity and security. First is how to stem the chaos from the multiple interconnected challenges across the Middle East. The next UK government will be one of the parties negotiating the final terms of a potential nuclear deal with Iran, which, if agreed, could serve as a prelude to broader negotiations on regional security. But an agreement could also lead to an intensification of the conflict between Saudi Arabia and its Sunni allies, on the one hand, and Iran and its allies in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, on the other, with Iraq caught somewhere in the middle. The UK, along with other permanent members of the UN Security Council, could find itself serving as one of the guarantors of the security of the Gulf states. Any UK government is also likely to maintain its role conducting air strikes as part of the international coalition against IS. Should the regional situation deteriorate further, the UK could be pushed into increasing the numbers of migrants that it accepts on to its shores from the region (currently in the hundreds, swelling potentially to the tens of thousands). It will also be a key contributor to the maritime operations seeking to stem the flood of refugees across the Mediterranean. The UK will also hope that the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories does not deteriorate following Benjamin Netanyahu's electoral victory in March. The possibility of Palestinians abandoning the idea of a two-state solution could embroil the UK, along with its EU counterparts, into a highly charged diplomatic negotiation. Second, should economic sanctions, imposed on Russia after its actions in Ukraine, be renewed? If the ceasefire holds in eastern Ukraine, then pressure will build for the EU to lift these sanctions, even if the Minsk agreement is not fully implemented and the Ukrainian government is unable to re-establish control of its border with Russia. There are divergent views across the EU over the value and efficacy of sanctions. Angela Merkel has taken the lead in building a fragile consensus that has held up to now. But she will need British support if she is to maintain a tough EU line on President Putin. Alongside these two major security considerations lie a number of other important international challenges. Third on the list is the climate summit in Paris in December. The UK has long been a leader in tackling climate change, and its ideas on how to prevent the growth in global use of coal will be especially important in Paris. A deal is crucial to have the best chance of keeping global temperature rises to within two degrees by the end of the century. The fourth priority will be the completion of the negotiations to create a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) by early 2016, before the US presidential elections enter their decisive phase. The coalition government has been one of the main champions of TTIP, seeing it as a debt-free economic stimulus to the UK and Europe, as well as a geopolitical counterweight to China's growing international economic power. But the agreement faces fierce popular opposition across the EU including in the UK, where a majority of voters suspects that US companies will use it to undermine European social and environmental standards. In contrast, British and European voters appear indifferent to the fifth major challenge: the growing influence of China. The UK government has welcomed Chinese investment into EU markets - in 2014 the UK took $5.1bn (£3.3bn) out of a total of $18bn (£11.7bn), the highest in the EU. But China's growing importance as a source of investment coincides with an increasingly assertive Chinese approach towards its claims of sovereignty over several small islands in the South China Sea. While the UK would prefer to focus on China's economic potential, Japan is seeking greater engagement from the UK as a security partner in the region. And with the United States serving as the main guarantor of regional security, the next UK government could be forced to take some difficult decisions on whether to risk economic opportunity on the altar of alliance solidarity. As important as they are, these five issues will pale into insignificance if the Conservative Party is able to form a government after the election and sets the clock running on an in-out referendum on Britain's continuing membership of the EU in 2017. In this case, British ministers will have little time to dedicate to this pressing dossier of international challenges and will need to focus all of their efforts instead on securing the best possible deal from their EU counterparts in order to be able to campaign to remain in the EU. If such a deal can be secured, then they will face a no less daunting task of convincing an often eurosceptic British public of the merits of staying in. Read more from Chatham House on foreign policy challenges facing the UK. Listen to a foreign policy special debate from Chatham House on The World Tonight. The uneasiness began with an unorthodox overhaul of senior staff positions, and escalated into a simmering revolt against a controversial policy seen as cutting to the core of the department's work and values. In Mr Tillerson's inbox is a "dissent cable" opposing President Trump's temporary ban on refugees and travellers from seven majority Muslim nations, signed by more than 1,000 foreign service staff. The ban was imposed in order to review security checks, but the cable argues that the way it's being carried out will be ineffective and counterproductive. More than that, it says the executive order betrays fundamental principles of equality, openness and non-discrimination. "We're sworn to defend and protect the constitution," said one official who'd signed the document, "and are duty bound to speak out when constitutional values are at stake." Rex Tillerson - the wild card diplomat Diplomats' dissent falls on deaf ears Mr Tillerson, who comes with years of business experience at Exxon Mobil but none in government or diplomacy, will need to find a way to both address such deep concerns and to work with a Trump White House bent on shaking up the system with quick pronouncements of change. And he'll be doing so with a lack of experienced personnel at the top, including those who would oversee the implementation of this controversial policy. "Why would you get rid of the heads of administration and consular affairs when you've just done something that affects so many visa and documentation issues?" muses Richard Boucher, a long-time career ambassador. Mr Boucher has seen administrations come and go - he served as a spokesman or deputy spokesmen in six of them, both Republican and Democrat. It's perfectly normal, he says, to clean house at the top during a transition. What isn't normal is the way this administration went about it: abruptly, without overlap or immediate replacement, clearing out management as well as policy positions. Of approximately 40 posts that need Senate approval, only six or seven have been filled, according to Tom Countryman. Until Friday, he was the assistant secretary of state for international security and non-proliferation, expecting to retire sometime later in the year. So he was surprised to be told that his retirement would begin in two days. He cut short a trip to Amman, where he was discussing nuclear non-proliferation in the Middle East, cancelled a planned meeting in Rome, and flew home to clear out his desk. In most cases there are capable deputies running the show, he says, but the "vacuum" at the very top will make it difficult for Rex Tillerson to "get a running start". The Texan oilman has been hobbled at the starting gate with delays over his confirmation, leaving old timers and newcomers in the department warily adjusting to each other. Career diplomats have said some of the new officials don't tend to engage, keeping the doors to their offices closed. Trump border policy: Who's affected? One employee fresh off the Trump campaign described co-workers as "experienced" and "great assets" but said she'd been forewarned that the scene could be "liberal and cliquey". But the opposition to the immigration order is much more than a culture clash. "I've never heard of anything close to this [number of signatures]," says Jon Finer, who handled such cables in his position as director of policy planning for the former Secretary of State John Kerry. The dissent channel is an established avenue for diplomats to express alternative viewpoints without fear of retaliation. In some years it's barely used, in others there's a lot of traffic - like during the Vietnam War, and the conflicts in Bosnia, Iraq and Syria. The BBC first heard about the cable from diplomatic sources overseas. As the document circulated informally between foreign missions and Washington headquarters, it grew to 155 pages of signatures, according to a source close to the process. Officials said it was fuelled by the distress of people on the frontlines charged with implementing a policy that had been sprung without warning or consultation, leaving them to deal with confusing details and navigate the impact on individuals and relations with foreign countries. Mr Tillerson has not clarified his position on the executive order, but the White House has taken a tough line. Spokesman Sean Spicer said dissenters "should either get with the programme or they can go", although he later said they had the right to speak out but not to refuse implementation of a lawful order. There've been no reports of such obstruction, but some who agreed with the sentiment of the memo chose not to sign because they were afraid the new administration would take retaliatory measures, one career officer told the BBC. Tom Countryman said it would be important for the new secretary of state to make clear he'd protect his employees from any retribution. In a speech at his goodbye party, Mr Countryman pushed back against the anger, encouraging his colleagues to stay in their positions, "because a foreign policy without professionals is - by definition - an amateur foreign policy. You will help to frame and make the choices". Other administrations have come in suspicious of the state department because it works with foreigners, he told the BBC, "and for a party that's xenophobic, that's a real suspicion". "But every other administration and president has come to rely on the foreign service and I hope this one will do the same… Early signs are not encouraging." Still Rex Tillerson has a reputation for competence, for relying on experts and for trusting the people who work for him. And state department officials are relieved to finally have someone at the helm. "I think many in the department have high hopes that having him on board will help address some of the problems of the past week and they will work hard with him toward that end," said Mr Finer. "But he will also come in with some rare if not unique challenges off the bat in the category of reassurance, starting in his own building." The former Open champion from Northern Ireland will lead the European team at Hazeltine in September. "I'm dedicating all of my time to our Ryder Cup preparations and the US Open is not the place to be when your game isn't 100%," said the 47-year-old. "I'm very sorry to miss Oakmont but I'm sure it will be a brilliant week." He added that he will be watching the tournament "very closely". An inquest jury earlier this week found the use of a Taser to restrain Jordon Begley was a factor in the 23-year-old's death in Manchester in 2013. Jurors concluded police had fired the stun gun at him "inappropriately and unreasonably" at a house in Gorton. The National Police Chiefs' Council said it "raises some concern" about the devices, fired 1,724 times in 2014. Factory worker Mr Begley died in hospital two hours after being hit by a Taser when police were called to his home during a row with neighbours on 10 July 2013. The inquest in Manchester found that the use of the 50,000-volt weapon and his restraint by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers had "more than materially contributed" to a package of stressful factors leading to factory worker Mr Begley's death later from a cardiac arrest. The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) has asked for an independent analysis of the medical evidence in the case to decide whether safety advice about the weapons needs to be amended. Monday's landmark verdict is believed to be the first time a UK jury has found that a Taser contributed to somebody's death. GMP Assistant Chief Constable Dawn Copley said she had decided to restrict the operational duties of the officers involved. Tasers were used 10,062 times in 2014, an increase from 6,649 in 2010, but marginally down from 10,380 in 2013. Officers used the highest "fired" setting, which sends an electric shock which incapacitates the victim, 1,724 times last year. The stun setting, which only sends out painful shocks, was used 256 times. Police in London use Tasers more than any other force, with 1,962 uses last year, with officers triggering the most powerful "fire" shot 219 times. The West Midlands was next with 1,573 uses, and the North West - which includes Greater Manchester Police - was third with 1,447. Police in the North East resorted to the stun gun the least, using it 252 times. Amnesty International spokesman Oliver Sprague branded the increased use of Tasers as "extremely worrying". He said: "We need more clarity on how and why these weapons are used. The statistics on their own tell us nothing about whether they are used correctly or not. Without such detail, these figures are not fit for purpose. "The precise circumstances over when a Taser is drawn or discharged can be - quite literally - a matter of life and death. "We're not saying that Taser doesn't have a role to play but it must be considered as a weapon of last resort." Policing Minister Mike Penning said: "The government is clear that any use of Tasers must be lawful, proportionate and necessary in all the circumstances. "This data makes the police's use of Taser and firearms more transparent and allows the public to see how these sensitive powers are being used. "We welcome the NPCC's decision to ask [for a] review [of] medical assessments. There is no suggestion that their current assessment is outdated but it should be refreshed in light of recent cases so that it supports operational guidance and training." The 26-year-old joined Boro for £1.5m in January 2014 after four years at Peterborough. He scored 10 goals in 50 appearances last season as Boro lost to Norwich in the Championship play-off final. "Lee is a player who we are excited about and will get fans off their seats," said Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake. Premier League newcomers Bournemouth signed former Leeds United winger Max Gradel from St Etienne on Tuesday. Blake added: "We are very pleased with the business we have done this week, and on the whole this summer, and feel it is a marker of our ambitions this season."

The Briton, 23, had two set points on his own serve to force a decider but could not convert, and Robredo won the third-round match 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 4-6 7-5 in three hours and 13 minutes. Robredo, who struggled with a leg injury in the closing stages, fought back superbly from 5-3 down in the fourth set to claim victory. Evans, ranked 179th, earned £60,000 in prize money for his efforts and enough points to get close to the world's top 150, but missed out on a possible dream fourth-round match against Roger Federer. "It was a tough one, especially to go down in the fourth set after serving for it and having two set points," Evans told BBC Radio 5 live. "I felt in pretty much total control of the match. The last point is always the hardest one and I couldn't get that last point of the set to take it to a fifth. "I just played two really loose points - that's all it was. They came at the wrong time. I just have to learn on that for next time." It was the British number three's sixth match in 10 days at Flushing Meadows after coming through three rounds of qualifying, then beating 11th seed Kei Nishikori and world number 52 Bernard Tomic. He had never won a match in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament before New York, and playing under lights on the Louis Armstrong Stadium, albeit in front of a sparse crowd, was a far cry from the Challenger events he is more used to. Evans impressed in the opening set but 31-year-old Robredo's experience told as he edged it in the tie-break, then raced through the second in just 28 minutes. Defeat was not far away for Evans at 4-4 in the third but he got the vital break with a sharp backhand volley, pumping his fist as he made his way back to the chair, and served out the set to love with an ace. "I was sure the match was heading to a fifth set but Dan Evans just tightened up. After missing those set points in the fourth, he started rushing a bit, showed his inexperience and made a couple of bad shot choices. "It is such a shame for him, but once he gets over the disappointment there is no doubt that there are so many positives. It looks like his career is going to go to another level after this tournament." Things seemed to be turning Evans's way when Robredo spent the next two changeovers having his left thigh massaged, but the Spaniard fought magnificently in the fourth set. Evans was bristling with positive intent, moving forward at every opportunity, and twice broke to go ahead, but, serving at 5-3, 40-15, the nerves appeared to bite and he gave the set points up with a double fault and an error. Robredo sensed his chance and pounded away from the baseline, drawing two more errors to recover the game and, after a solid hold, the pressure was quickly back on Evans. From standing on the verge of a fifth set, Evans was now serving to stay in the match, and a wayward drop shot and a double fault brought Robredo to match point. He closed in on the net to chase down another drop shot and leapt upon the Briton's response to angle away the volley and bring Evans's amazing US Open campaign to a sudden end. "It's been a great experience, a great learning curve," added Evans, who heads to Croatia next for Great Britain's Davis Cup tie on 13-15 September. "I can definitely play with these guys so I should be confident going into the next tournaments." The U's survival hopes look slim as they currently sit 10 points from safety with six games to go. "It's all very well me sitting here saying I know who I want to keep," Keen told BBC Radio Essex. "There will be a lot of external influences throughout the summer depending on what league we're in." Colchester are unbeaten in their last three games and travel to 20th-placed Blackpool on Saturday. "It's very difficult for me to say 'I want to keep him, him and him, those contracts are sorted and we're all good for next year,'" added Keen. "I can't see a scenario where that's going to happen. "I can see a scenario where players in contract will be sought after by other teams. Players out of contract will have choices to make. "There are very good players in contract, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens in the summer." Scores here and elsewhere had both teams going down at different points, but Peterborough's 3-2 loss at Crystal Palace meant they drop into League One. Chris O'Grady's low shot had put Barnsley in front, only for Jermaine Beckford to equalise for the hosts. Jason Scotland restored Barnsley's lead but James Vaughan had the final word. Vaughan's 82nd-minute equaliser would have condemned Barnsley to League One until news filtered through that Palace had scored a third against relegation rivals Posh, at which point it appeared as though both sets of players were happy to maintain the status quo. Despite being in a position that would have sent them down during the course of the afternoon, Huddersfield finished in 19th place - 10 points off a Championship play-off place and four points clear of the bottom three The visitors had dominated early possession and looked the more assured side, so it was no surprise when O'Grady gave them the lead in the 14th minute. Town defender Peter Clarke slipped when Barnsley midfielder David Perkins played the ball into the penalty area and O'Grady had time to pick his spot and curl a low right-footed shot inside the far post. Huddersfield began to get a foothold in the game, but they had to wait until the 53rd minute to equalise, substitute Danny Ward slipping the ball through for Beckford, who clipped a fine finish inside Luke Steele's left-hand post. Scotland then headed Barnsley back in front in the 75th minute. O'Grady's deft pass sent Perkins clear down the left and his precision cross was nodded home by the former Ipswich striker to send the visiting fans into raptures. The joy did not last. Town substitute Lee Novak had been on the pitch for only a few seconds when his pass set up Vaughan, whose low finish flew in via a deflection off Steele. Tykes midfielder Tomasz Cywka was then sent on for Dawson with five minutes left as Barnsley scrambled for one last finale. Scotland failed to connect when poised to turn the ball home and Cywka fired straight at Smithies, but with news of Palace's late goal sending Peterborough down, both sets of players played out the last few minutes without further incident. Barnsley manager David Flitcroft: "Mission Impossible achieved. "We've beaten some incredible football teams and Mission Impossible can only be achieved by special people. "Forget the football. Forget the quality, the disparity in this league, what we've achieved there is done by a group of special people and a special management team which has achieved something quite remarkable." Huddersfield boss Mark Robins: "It was the hardest 90 minutes that I've ever had to endure without a doubt. "We were a million miles from our best, but we got what we needed at the end of it. "The game doesn't really matter. It was the outcome that counted. When you've got a cup final, you've just got to get what you need. "The job David Flitcroft has done is nothing short of miraculous because they were dead and buried in January." Full Time The final whistle is blown by the referee. Booking Caution for Chris O'Grady.

Live data and text provided by our data suppliers Ian Stewart, 56, said Helen Bailey had been snatched by two men who blackmailed him for £500,000. He told St Albans Crown Court he spoke to her on the phone four days later and she told him: "I love you". The 56-year-old denies murdering his fiancee, whose body was found at their home in Hertfordshire. He told the court he had been subjected to a series of demands by her alleged tormentors, involving threats against Ms Bailey and his two sons. Cross-examining Mr Stewart, prosecutor Stuart Trimmer QC told him: "You are, without doubt, a complete liar". Follow the latest updates on this story Mr Stewart alleged the two men, Nick and Joe, were business associates of Ms Bailey's late first husband John Sinfield and had taken her on 11 April. He said that four days later, Nick had returned to the house Mr Stewart shared with the Northumberland-born author in Royston, Hertfordshire. Nick handed him a phone and he spoke to Ms Bailey, the jury heard, and she said "I love you. Sorry about everything". He told the court he had responded by saying: "It's not your fault. I love you too". Mr Stewart claimed his fiancee asked him to search the house for her own mobile phone before he was assaulted and threatened by Nick. He reported her missing on the afternoon of 15 April. The court previously heard how Mr Stewart said he lied to Ms Bailey's friends, family and the police about her whereabouts out of fear for her life. Her body was found in a cesspit under the garage of the couple's home on 15 July, along with that of her dachshund, Boris. Mr Stewart, of Baldock Road, Royston, Hertfordshire, denies murder, preventing a lawful burial, fraud, and three counts of perverting the course of justice. The trial continues. The creature, measuring 40 feet, was discovered on its side in the shallows at Perranporth beach when the tide went out. Marine specialists said being out of the water for so long would have caused internal injuries and, even if they could refloat her, she would probably not survive. HM Coastguard were on the scene to manage public safety. 27 November 2013 Last updated at 14:17 GMT At his sanctuary he cares for nearly 30 kangaroos and raises orphaned joeys.

The midfielder, 25, believes Saints, currently third in the Premier League, can stay in the top four as "something special is going on" at the club. "We want to put Southampton in the spotlight. That will be a shock for the country and the world," he said. "We want to reach the Champions League. We want to change this tradition of it being all the big teams." Schneiderlin says the Southampton dressing room is focused on maintaining their excellent form, which has brought 39 points from 21 games and, most recently, a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. "Before every game, we say 'Lads, we cannot let this slip away,'" the Frenchman revealed. Media playback is not supported on this device "We have to make it happen and to make it happen we need to be focused in every game, to not get 'big time'. "We are Southampton. We are players like myself who four years ago was playing in League One. Never forget where you have come from. "Hopefully we can do something special. We are believing we can but if we don't, the most important thing is to get Europe for Southampton." Schneiderlin's own future has been the subject of much speculation after he criticised the club last summer when Calum Chambers, Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Dejan Lovren and Luke Shaw were all sold. Reports have linked Schneiderlin with moves to Manchester United and Arsenal and he says he "can't say what's going to happen in the summer". He added: "That's up to everyone's personal choices and the club choice. We are going to see where we are going to finish and what everyone's going to do but right now I can't predict anything." Meanwhile, Southampton will be without Toby Alderweireld for Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay against Ipswich at Portman Road after the defender was ruled out for up to four weeks by a hamstring strain. Alderweireld was taken off in the first half at Old Trafford on Sunday after picking up the injury. To see more of the Morgan Schneiderlin interview, watch the FA Cup third-round replay between Ipswich and Southampton on Match of the Day Live, 19:30 GMT on Wednesday. 2 February 2016 Last updated at 13:01 GMT In the video (which is in Dutch), an eagle is seen swooping towards a hovering drone, grabbing hold of the machine with its talons and flying off. The birds are taught to treat the drones as if they were a potential meal. "The bird sees the drone as prey and takes it to a safe area, a place where he does not suffer from other birds or humans," says a statement from the police. That man is, of course, our own football expert Mark Lawrenson. He may have consistently tipped West Ham to falter and - like almost everybody else on the planet - failed to forsee Leicester's incredible title-winning campaign. Indeed, if Lawro's predictions had all been correct, West Ham would have finished 17th with 34 points - 10 places lower and escaping relegation by a single point. And he also had Leicester and Newcastle finishing in mid-table. But you cannot argue with the facts over a full season. Lawro - who makes his predictions on a Thursday morning - outscored every single Premier League club's supporters by a healthy margin. His season average of 76 points after 38 game weeks dwarves even the top-performing set of fans, Stoke City, who averaged 64.8 points across the season. Spurs fans were the least knowledgeable - finishing bottom of the table with a 61.4. And those unforgiving West Ham fans? A respectable fourth-placed finish with a score of 63.8. "The West Ham fans gave me some stick earlier in the season because of my scores," Lawrenson told BBC Sport. "They even sang about my predictions at one game, which I've never had happen before. "I know I've annoyed Southampton and Swansea before, to name but two teams… and I'm sure Swansea fans have noticed that I have relegated them again, like last season. "What I always say to anyone who asks me about my predictions is that if I could really seriously predict football results, I would be sitting on my ocean-going yacht, which would be moored off the Bahamas. But it is good fun, that is the main thing. "It's nice to know I've done better than the fans but I would probably have a higher average score if I made my predictions as close to kick-off as they can. "Some people have made a big deal about the league table based on my predictions, but when I am making them, I don't even look at it. I am trying to predict the right results that week, not balance it out so teams are closer to their actual positions. "What Leicester have done in the Premier League this season shows how difficult it is to predict anything, really." Lawro's best score: 160 points (week 19 v Guy Mowbray and week 36 v Nathan Caton) Lawro's worst score: 20 points (week one v Graeme Swann & week 23 v Ice Cube and Kevin Hart) More than 1,000 schools, both primary and secondary, have already signed up. A few pupils will be able to question Maj Peake directly, others will send questions via social media. Organisers described the Times Educational Supplement and European Space Agency link-up as a "once in a lifetime opportunity". Maj Peake will devote 20 minutes of his time on board the International Space Station (ISS) to the event, early in February. The organisers are inviting every UK school to register and send in questions and ideas from pupils in advance. The link-up, dubbed the Cosmic Classroom, aims to be "world's largest schools and space science event". Separately, three Norfolk schools and the University of East Anglia will hold a 10-minute radio-link conversation with the astronaut. Millions of people worldwide, including the prime minister, tuned in to watch Maj Peake's blast-off from Kazakhstan on the Principia mission. The UK's first ESA astronaut is expected to inspire new interest in space travel, in schools. Jeremy Curtis, head of education at the UK Space Agency (UKSA) said Maj Peake was "very keen to make sure that young people across the UK can play their part in his mission". "We're sure pupils will suggest some interesting things for Tim to do to help him share his experience of living and working in space," said Mr Curtis. TES Global's chief education adviser, Lord Knight urged every teacher in the country "to sign up now, to make it the world's largest schools and space science event". "The countdown to the Cosmic Classroom begins now, and I await with anticipation the creative, insightful and entertaining ideas our teachers and their classes come up with." said Lord Knight. Earlier this year, York University researchers began a three-year project looking at the influence of human space travel in popularising science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem) subjects. In particular, the researchers are assessing how the views of primary and secondary pupils are affected by Maj Peake's ISS mission. The 21-year-old scored 10 goals for the Sandgrounders this season, but could not prevent their relegation from the National League. He began his career with Fleetwood and played for them in the Football League before joining Southport in 2015. Allen's arrival fills the gap left by top scorer Ricky Miller, who joined Peterborough United earlier this month. Martha Seaward, 15, was run over after getting off a bus on the A148 in Upper Sheringham, Norfolk, in January 2014. Her parents wanted a roundabout built to slow traffic but the county council said this would be too expensive and it is now considering having a path built. The Seawards said the path would move pedestrians but not solve the problem. Norfolk coroner Jacqueline Lake had asked the council to investigate ways of preventing further deaths on the road and report its findings to her by the end of March. In its report the council said a new roundabout had been considered but the cost of between £500,000 and £1m would be between a quarter to half of the annual road improvement budget for the coming year for the entire county. Reducing the speed limit on the 60mph stretch would be "hard to justify on an open, rural main road with so little frontage development", it said. The preferred option emerged as creating a path from the Lodge Hill bus stop to a crossing point further from the junction, and signs reminding bus users to take care crossing the main road. Martha's mother Karen said: "They've done the very least they could do in response to the coroner's concerns. "The optimum solution would have been a roundabout. Often speed limits aren't adhered to but a roundabout can't help but slow down traffic." Fiji winger Nalaga, 31, has signed from French Top 14 side Lyon, for whom he scored 21 tries in 32 games. Prop Du Plessis, 36, joins the Exiles after seven seasons with Saracens. Italy international back McLean, 29, arrives from Pro12 side Treviso, while Australia hooker Fainga'a, 30, has signed from Super Rugby side Brumbies. London Irish have now signed seven players following their promotion from the Championship, with prop Gordon Reid, scrum-half Ben Meehan and back-row forward Lasha Lomidze joining on Thursday. McDonald's saw earnings fall 30%, while Coca-Cola's fell 14%, with both citing lower US sales as key reasons. The fast-food chain's profits of $1.07bn (£661m) were also hit by a food scandal in China, contributing to a 4.6% fall in revenues to $6.99bn. Meanwhile, the world's largest drinks group made a $2.1bn profit on revenues that were broadly flat at $11.9bn. McDonald's US sales have been under pressure as consumers switch to other chains, notably the fast-growing Chipotle Mexican Grill. Sales also fell in Russia, Germany and especially in China, where McDonald's was hurt by a scandal over meat supplies. Chief executive Don Thompson admitted that the trading performance was not good enough. "McDonald's third-quarter results reflect a significant decline versus a year ago," he said. "By all measures, our performance fell short of our expectations." Meanwhile, Coca Cola said that its US sales were down 1% during the quarter. Consumers are increasingly turning to alternatives to sweet, fizzy drinks. The company's profits also suffered because of currency fluctuations and strengthening of the dollar. In August, Coke spent $2.15bn for a 16.7% stake in Monster Beverage energy drinks business. As part of the deal, Coke transferred ownership of its own, less successful energy drinks, including brands NOS, Full Throttle and Burn, to Monster. And it took over Monster's non-energy brands such as Hansen's Natural Sodas, Peace Tea and Hubert's Lemonade. Her new live album Before the Dawn landed at number four despite strong sales early in the week putting her on course for the chart summit. Little Mix hang on to the top spot with Glory Days, while a collaboration between Michael Ball and Alfie Boe is just behind at number two. Elvis Presley's enduring popularity means he makes it to number three. Canadian singer The Weeknd debuted at number five with his new album Starboy. Other new entries this week include Andre Rieu's Falling in Love, which landed at number seven, and a number 10 position for Falling in Love by British TV presenter Bradley Walsh. Busted's first studio album in 13 years, Night Driver, debuted at number 13. In the singles chart, Clean Bandit remained at number one with Rockabye - which features Sean Paul and Anne Marie. In doing so, it became the band's second song to hold the number one spot for four weeks, following 2014's Rather Be. Black Beatles by Rae Sremmurd was also a non-mover at number two, while Starboy by The Weeknd featuring Daft Punk climbed five places to number three. There were no new entries in this week's singles chart, but Rag'n'Bone Man's Human leapt 66 places to number 11. Further down the chart, Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You re-entered the top 40 at number 29. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

The prime minister is launching a further 18 of the state-funded schools, set up by academy trusts, community groups, parents and teachers. Mr Cameron said this would deliver "innovative and exciting schools". But the National Union of Teachers said the government was "playing politics" with the demand for school places. The announcement will add to the 252 free schools already open and a further 52 set to open this term, out of a total of about 22,000 schools in the state sector. The Department for Education says the new projects include a school in Solihull for children who have fallen out of mainstream education and the Gipsy Hill Secondary School in south London, which will use a classical model based on "logic, grammar and rhetoric as the foundations of learning". The Swan School will open in Oxford and the John Donne Primary Free School in Peckham, both supported by local state schools. "The aim of this policy is crystal clear - to increase the number of good and outstanding school places so that more parents have the security of knowing their child is getting a great education," said Mr Cameron. The prime minister said he would "not waver in pressing ahead with our plans" to reach the target of an extra 500 free schools. But Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said there was a "strong pipeline" of quality applications. She added: "This is about making sure that every child has a good school place to attend with excellent teaching to fulfil their potential." NUT leader Christine Blower accused the government of "untruths and misrepresentations" about its free-school policy, saying there was no evidence that they were better than other schools. Ms Blower said the government had had to change the regulations so that all new schools would be designated as free schools to "help David Cameron hit his own target". Free schools have the same status as academies, operating outside local authority control and not having to follow the national curriculum and having more flexibility over staffing. The new schools are being announced at a time of growing demand for school places, with a rising population at both primary and secondary levels. Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said: "There is a desperate need for long-term planning that spans all sectors. With the massive increase in pupil numbers and over-stretched budgets, we cannot afford inefficiency and conflict. The government's approach makes this problem worse. "Until some agency at the local or regional level has the information and the authority to prioritise school places where they are most needed, parents and children will always be unsure that the system will give them what they want." A report from London Councils says there is a need for 113,000 extra school places in the capital in the next five years, which it says will need additional funding of £1.5bn. Nick Timothy, director of the New Schools Network which supports the opening of free schools, said: "The fact is, we urgently need more good new schools - not just where there is a shortage of places but where standards have been too low for too long. "Free schools are better placed to drive up standards and give parents what they want because they give more control to heads, teachers and governors, rather than politicians and bureaucrats." But the Local Government Association warned of planning problems that could face councils if the opening of free schools was postponed. The organisation representing councils says any delay in opening should be made known before school places were allocated in the spring. "When last minute delays are announced by government, it is the council that picks up the pieces to reassure mums and dads that their child will have a place at a school before September," said the LGA's deputy chairman David Simmonds. Labour's education spokesman Tristram Hunt said the focus on free schools was missing the bigger problem of a teacher recruitment crisis. "As children begin the new school year, more and more pupils are being taught by non-specialists and supply teachers, due to the teacher recruitment crisis. And shortages in teacher supply are set to get worse. This should be the priority for education ministers," said Mr Hunt.

Archbishop Martin was addressing the subject of the same-sex marriage referendum in the Republic of Ireland. It is taking place on 22 May. Irish prime minister, Enda Kenny, has said that the right to equal marriage applies to civil marriage and not to church or faith-based unions. Archbishop Martin said the proposed amendment to the Irish constitution would remove "the unique and privileged status in society for the marriage between a man and a woman". "Until now, Ireland has accepted that it is in the best interests of children and of society to promote and protect the model of children being born and raised in a family with their biological parents," he said. He added that Irish bishops had already said they "cannot support an amendment to the constitution which redefines marriage and effectively places the union of two men, or two women, on a par with the marriage relationship between a husband and wife which is open to the procreation of children". Earlier this week, Mr Kenny said heterosexual marriage would not be diminished by same-sex marriage and that the institution of marriage would be enriched by it. He said the State respected religious freedom and did not seek to encroach on any church or faith.

The leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland, Eamon Martin, has said that to interfere with the definition of marriage is not a simple or trivial matter.

She revealed the news live on stage at London's O2, where she is in the middle of a six-night residency. "Who's going to Glastonbury this year?" she asked. "See you there. I'll be there. I'll be headlining on the Saturday night this year." "I've had to keep that secret for years!" the star added. Glastonbury later confirmed the news on Twitter. Adele now joins Muse and Coldplay at the top of the bill when the festival takes place in June. "What a great honour it is to have the wonderful Adele confirmed for this year's Saturday night headline spot!" said festival organiser Emily Eavis. Adele's latest album, 25, has sold more than 19 million copies worldwide, and is currently number one in the UK albums chart. Earlier this week, the singer teased fans in Manchester that she would "see them at Glastonbury" even she didn't perform. "I'll be dressed as Elsa and my kid will be Olaf," she said, referring to characters from the Disney film Frozen. Last November, Adele told Beats 1 radio that she had been put off playing the festival after watching Kanye West's headline set in 2015. "I wasn't anywhere near the stage and it was the biggest crowd I'd ever seen," she told Zane Lowe. "I froze with fear, I just thought: 'I don't know if I can do that.'" Online reaction to Adele's booking has largely been positive. "Adele wouldn't be my choice of headliner, but I'll bet she will be amazing," wrote Dave Gray on Twitter. "If you don't think Adele is the best possible booking Glastonbury could make, other than Led Zeppelin, you're mad," added Haydn. Beth Howard said she couldn't "wait to be crying my eyes out to Adele at Glastonbury." But Hally Golightly was less positive, writing: "Adele and Coldplay headlining Glastonbury, so you can take your Mum I guess." This year's Glastonbury festival takes place in Somerset from 22 to 26 June. Jeff Lynne's ELO have been announced for the Sunday afternoon "legends" lot, which in recent years has been filled by Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers. PJ Harvey and Jess Glynne are the only other confirmed acts on the bill. The festival traditionally waits until the final tranche of tickets have been sold, following the spring resale, before revealing its full line-up. The service at the chapel of Westcott House in Cambridge was to commemorate LGBT history month. The congregation was told the use of the lexicon was an attempt to "queer the liturgy of evening prayer". But officials said it had not been authorised and was at variance with the doctrine and teaching of the church. Polari is thought to have originated in Victorian London but fell out of use as homosexuality began to be decriminalised in England in the 1960s. Its words, however, were brought to wider public attention in the same decade by comedian Kenneth Williams in the BBC radio series Round the Horne. One person present at the service told BBC News it was led by an ordinand - a trainee priest - rather than a licensed minister. The congregation was also made up of trainees. While they had been given permission to hold a service to commemorate LGBT history month, a Church of England source said the college chaplain had not seen the wording of the service. The translation was based on the Polari bible, a work compiled as a project in 2003 by the self-styled Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The scripture and liturgy were printed on to an order of service. An Old Testament reading from the Prophet Joel which says "rend your heart and not your garments, return to the Lord your God" was printed in Polari as "rend your thumping chest and not your frocks - and turn unto the Duchess your Gloria: for she is bona and merciful". Instead of the traditional "Glory be to the father, and to the son, and the Holy Spirit" the prayer offered was: "Fabeness be to the Auntie, and to the Homie Chavvie, and to the Fantabulosa Fairy". Services in the Church of England are legally required to be conducted using the church's approved liturgy. The principal of Westcott House, the Rev Canon Chris Chivers, said the liturgy of the service had not been authorised for use. He said: "I fully recognise that the contents of the service are at variance with the doctrine and teaching of the Church of England and that is hugely regrettable. "Inevitably for some members of the house this caused considerable upset and disquiet and I have spoken at length to those involved in organising the service. "I will be reviewing and tightening the internal mechanisms of the house to ensure this never happens again." The independent investigation into Savile's behaviour at the hospital is due to be published at 09:30 GMT. Lawyer Liz Dux, representing 44 claimants of abuse at the hospital, said it would be a "disgrace" if senior management escaped blame. Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust says it will respond later. Savile, who died aged 84 in October 2011, was a major fund-raiser and regular visitor to Stoke Mandeville for more than 20 years. He had a flat and office on the hospital site. The Stoke Mandeville inquiry was led by independent investigator Dr Androulla Johnstone and overseen by a local oversight panel led by the hospital trust's non-executive director, Keith Gilchrist. The report was originally expected to have been completed by the end of 2013 but has been repeatedly delayed. Investigations into 28 other hospitals, including Leeds General Infirmary and Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, were published last June. One of the complaints of abuse is believed to have been made to a nurse, a ward sister and a hospital manager. Nine reports were made to nurses alone, with one more also reaching a manager, the report is believed to say. It will also highlight that more than 50 people were abused by Jimmy Savile at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Victims included patients, staff and visitors. One victim is understood to have been as young as eight. The BBC has spoken to one victim, who has not been named to protect her identity. She was 18 and a patient at the time. She said Savile climbed through the window by her bed before sexually assaulting her. She said: "It was absolutely disgusting, it's just the worst thing possible." She said Savile seemed to know all about her reason for being at Stoke Mandeville: "I told the nurses what Savile had done, the fact that he came in and had spoken to me. How did he know these things about me? They just said they know he's like that and 'ignore him, ignore him'. They thought it was funny, really. "I thought he'd just done that to me, I thought that was something I was just going to have to live with. I had no idea he was doing things to other people." Lawyer Ms Dux of Slater & Gordon, who represents the majority of the victims, said: "As an institution, Stoke Mandeville, in my opinion, is actually the most blameworthy for Savile's crimes. We have very young vulnerable people there, who were there in a place to be looked after, some of whom couldn't move, some of them were in wheelchairs. "We even have a clear example of someone reporting the abuse to a senior nursing sister and being told to be quiet because of what he did for the institution." "It will be a disgrace if the report into Stoke Mandeville reaches the same findings as it did in Leeds - that there was no accountability or knowledge within the senior management of the hospital." Investigators found that members of staff at Leeds General Hospital failed to pass on complaints of abuse to senior managers. The BBC understands the report will also say Savile's reputation as a 'sex pest' was an open secret. Staff described him as 'creepy' and 'a lecher' who had access to the mortuary alone, out of hours. Stoke Mandeville's former director of nursing, Chris McFarlane, said reports of abuse by Savile "never reached senior management ears". She said Savile was free to go anywhere in the hospital: "If 0% was no access and 100% was total access, Jimmy had 100% access to the hospital, to all parts. "If he knocked on a closed door and somebody opened the door, Jimmy would be allowed in. I don't believe I ever knew anybody, even the ones who thought there was something funny about him, anybody who would have said 'you're not allowed in here.' "How could we have allowed him to sit with our patients in the spinal unit, some of whom were tetraplegic, so paralysed from the neck down, others from the chest or waist down, sit with them, without anybody bothering to ask what he was doing?" Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust said it would not provide any comment before the report was published. The two legs of the quarter-finals will be on 9 and 12 May with the semi-finals held over 16 and 19 May. The first leg of the final will be on 25 May, with the second leg on 28 May. Falkirk or Dundee United - currently second and third in the Championship - will play Greenock Morton in the quarter-final. The side who finishes higher in the league will bypass the quarter-finals and meet that tie's winner in the semi-finals. The final round of Championship fixtures takes place on Saturday, with Falkirk away to Dumbarton and United visiting Morton. The Bairns are currently one point ahead of the Tangerines. The semi-final winners face the Premiership's second bottom side in the final and the winner will be in the top flight next season, the loser consigned to the Championship. All of the Premiership's bottom six clubs - Kilmarnock, Ross County, Dundee, Hamilton Academical, Motherwell and Inverness Caledonian Thistle - are in contention to occupy the second bottom place, with the side finishing 12th being relegated automatically. There are four rounds of Premiership fixtures remaining and Killie are the only one of the bottom six sides that will definitely avoid finishing in bottom place. Championship winners Hibernian have already secured promotion to next season's Premiership, while Morton can finish no higher than fourth. To ensure Dundee's home match against Inverness does not take place on the same night as a Dundee United home match in the play-offs, Dundee v Inverness has been moved to 17 May. Quarter-final 9 May: Morton v Championship third-placed side 12 May: Championship third-placed side v Morton Semi-final 16 May: Quarter-final winner v Championship second-placed side 19 May: Championship second-placed side v quarter-final winner Final 25 May: Semi-final winner v Premiership 11th-placed side 28 May: Premiership 11th-placed side v semi-final winner Jones' side have won a Grand Slam and completed a 3-0 series whitewash of Australia since he took charge in 2015. The Australian's staff are to meet with GB's Olympic hockey, judo and cycling coaches as they look for improvements. "We need to coach better so our staff have been working very hard investigating other sports," he said. "With Great Britain doing so well at the Olympics, there are a number of sports to look at and learn from." Team GB won 67 medals at Rio 2016 to finish second in the table ahead of China. The women's hockey team, coached by Danny Kerry, won gold for the first time by beating defending champions the Netherlands in a dramatic penalty shootout. Jones said: "If you look on face value at the talent in that team compared to the Holland team, it's probably not as great so his ability to create such a dynamic and hard-working team is fascinating." Media playback is not supported on this device Jones says he would be happy for his staff to join next summer's British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, should they be chosen by Warren Gatland. Wales boss Gatland will name his backroom staff on 7 December, with England forwards coach Steve Borthwick and defence coach Paul Gustard both contenders. "It's a great opportunity for them to learn from Warren, who is one of the most experienced coaches in the world," said Jones. Media playback is not supported on this device Sources in her party say she made the decision to leave unexpectedly, shortly before she was due to appear at the Supreme Court on negligence charges. Her lawyers told the court she had been unable to attend because she was ill. But when she failed to appear, the court issued an arrest warrant for her and confiscated her bail. Judges also postponed the verdict until 27 September. Ms Yingluck has denied any wrongdoing in the scheme which cost Thailand billions of dollars. If found guilty at the end of her two-year trial, she could be jailed for up to 10 years and permanently banned from politics. Sources within Ms Yingluck's Puea Thai Party told Reuters that she had "definitely left Thailand" but did not give details of her whereabouts. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, who heads Thailand's military government, said all routes out of the country were being closely monitored. "I just learned that she did not show up [at court]," he told reporters. "I have ordered border checkpoints to be stepped up." Deputy PM Prawit Wongsuwan initially said he had no information on Ms Yingluck's whereabouts but as he left a meeting in Bangkok he said: "It is possible that she has fled already." Analysis by Jonathan Head, BBC News, Bangkok Yingluck Shinawatra was the most high-profile criminal defendant in Thailand and was constantly monitored by the military authorities. So how was she able to leave the country just hours before the verdict was due to be read out? Immigration authorities say they have no record of her leaving the country. However, it is a poorly-concealed secret that some in the military government would have been happy to see her leave the country before the verdict. Had she been convicted and jailed, she could have been seen as a victim by her supporters. The government was nervous about their reaction. Acquitting her, though, would have been equally unacceptable to her hard-line opponents, many of them very influential. That would also have undermined the justification for the military coup which overthrew her government. So it is unlikely anyone tried to stop her leaving, or that they will try to get her back. She could have gone to the VIP area of one of Bangkok's airports and taken a private jet out of the country or she might have driven across the border into Cambodia or Laos. However she is most likely to have joined her brother, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who has been living mainly in Dubai since he went into exile, fleeing a Supreme Court verdict, in 2008. Ms Yingluck's lawyer had requested a delay in the ruling, telling the Supreme Court that she had vertigo and a severe headache and was unable to attend. But the court said in a statement it did not believe she was sick as there was no medical certificate and that the claimed sickness was not severe enough to prevent her travelling to court. "Such behaviour convincingly shows that she is a flight risk. As a result, the court has issued an arrest warrant and confiscated the posted bail money," the statement said. Ms Yingluck posted $900,000 (£703,000) bail at the beginning of her trial. Friday's turn of events took many by surprise, including the hundreds of people who turned up outside the Supreme Court in Bangkok to support Ms Yingluck. BBC Thai reporter Nanchanok Wongsamuth said the announcement prompted shocked reactions in the courtroom, and then a flurry of activity as journalists ran out to report the news. Ms Yingluck, who became Thailand's first female prime minister in 2011, was impeached in 2015 over the rice scheme by a military-backed legislature, which then brought the legal case. The scheme, part of Ms Yingluck's election campaign platform, launched shortly after she took office. It was aimed at boosting farmers' incomes and alleviating rural poverty, and saw the government paying farmers nearly twice the market rate for their crop. But it hit Thailand's rice exports hard, leading to a loss of at least $8bn and huge stockpiles of rice which the government could not sell. Though it was popular with her rural voter base, opponents said the scheme was too expensive and open to corruption. During her trial, Ms Yingluck had argued she was not responsible for the day-to-day running of the scheme. She has insisted she is a victim of political persecution. In another development on Friday, former Thai minister Boonsong Teriyapirom was jailed for 42 years in connection with the rice subsidy scheme. The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok says the exceptionally heavy sentence for Mr Boonsong suggests the court would not have been lenient with Ms Yingluck and it is possible she was warned about this before making her decision to flee. Ms Yingluck's time in office was overshadowed by controversy as well as strong political opposition. The youngest sister of Mr Thaksin, she was seen by her opponents as a proxy for her brother, who was controversially ousted by the military in 2006. Both siblings remain popular among the rural poor, but are hated by an urban and middle-class elite. Their Puea Thai party has - under various different names - won every election in Thailand since 2001. Some of Ms Yingluck's supporters outside the court on Friday expressed understanding at her failure to show. "The Thai prime minister has done her best, she has sacrificed a lot," said Seksan Chalitaporn, 64. "Now the people have to fight for themselves." Telecommunications billionaire Mr Thaksin, who once owned Manchester City FC, has lived in self-imposed exile since leaving Thailand. It is believed he travels between homes in London, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. May 2011- Yingluck Shinawatra is elected PM, and shortly afterwards begins rolling out her rice subsidy scheme. January 2014 - Thailand's anti-corruption authorities investigate Ms Yingluck in connection to the scheme. May 2014 - She is forced to step down from her post after Thailand's constitutional court finds her guilty of abuse of power in another case. Weeks later the military ousts what remains of her government. January 2015 - An army-backed legislature impeaches Ms Yingluck for corruption over her role in the rice scheme, which effectively bans her from politics for five years. It also launches legal proceedings against her. August 2017 - Ms Yingluck fails to appear at court for the verdict, claiming ill health. The new rules make it illegal for children to buy tobacco and nicotine vapour products (NVPs). However, campaign group Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) Scotland gave the new laws only a cautious welcome. Chief executive Sheila Duffy said the priority should be to target retailers who sell traditional cigarettes to children. Under the new laws, anyone buying NVPs for those underage will be breaking the law. And shops selling the products will be required to have an age verification policy and to be registered. Public health minister Aileen Campbell said: "We know e-cigarettes are almost certainly safer than cigarettes and have a role to help people quit smoking, but we don't believe children should have access to them - that's why these age restrictions are so important." She added: "We are working closely with the Scottish Grocers' Federation to make retailers aware of these changes and what they mean for their daily business. "A campaign is already under way across Scotland and will continue to run throughout the summer to ensure everyone is aware of these changes to the law." Ms Duffy, of ASH Scotland, said: "Nicotine is addictive and as there is some level of health risk associated with using these products, it is right that we keep them out of the hands of children. "With the regulatory framework for e-cigarettes falling into place, now is the time to remind people that smoking tobacco is by far the more harmful activity." She added: "There are still 30 to 40 young people in Scotland taking up smoking every day and the priority must be for further action against those retailers who sell to children and to challenge the attitudes amongst adults who buy cigarettes on heir behalf." The changes were brought in by the Health Act 2016, which also set out restrictions on e-cigarette advertising and a ban on vending machines selling the products. Both measures are due to be introduced later this year. Until now, Taiwan drains couldn't cope with toilet roll and it had to go in a bin. Now a new kind of loo paper there can now break down in water, which means it can be flushed like we do in the UK. But most people are used to throwing it in bins instead, so signs have been put up, telling people what to do. The sign reads: "The answer to a big mystery! Toilet paper can be flushed down the toilet, did you know that?" Sounds like they need to roll with it and not loo-se the plot... Hughes is in a critical condition after being struck on the head by a bouncer in a state match in Sydney on Tuesday. Simmons was hit by a David Lawrence ball in 1988 but made a full recovery following life-saving brain surgery. "I was out of hospital in eight days, which none of the doctors expected. I hope he pulls through," said Simmons. Simmons was the same age as Hughes - 25 - when he took a blow on the head from a Lawrence short ball in fading light in Bristol during a tour match against Gloucestershire. His heart stopped and he required emergency surgery at Frenchay Hospital. But Simmons, who unlike Hughes was not wearing a helmet, made a full recovery, playing in a charity match in the Caribbean four months later before resuming his international career the following year. "My injury was as serious as you can get," Simmons, now Ireland coach, told BBC World Service. "I had to have emergency surgery to have a clot removed from my brain. "I was written off as never to play again and put in a long-term unit for head injuries, but I was out in eight days." Simmons also said he felt sympathy for New South Wales bowler Sean Abbott, whose delivery struck Hughes on the back of the head beneath his helmet after the batsman had missed a pull shot. Lawrence, who played five Tests for England before his career was ended by a horrific knee injury, was deeply affected by the aftermath of his delivery to Simmons. "I had known 'Syd' from a long time before," said Simmons. "We were friends before that through [West Indies paceman] Courtney Walsh. "My wife told me when I was in the hospital bed he came to visit. He was holding my hand with tears running down his cheek. "A bowler is never to blame. It's just one of those unfortunate things that happens once in every long while." Simmons said his wife hid the full details of his injury from him for two years after he regained consciousness, helping him focus on returning to the cricket field. "All I thought about when I came through was that I wanted to play again," he added. "I wasn't studying all the tubes all over my body. "That was my catalyst. I looked forward to playing cricket again and playing for the West Indies." Hughes, who received mouth-to-mouth resuscitation at the side of the pitch, is in an induced coma at St Vincent's Hospital after surgery. Doctors will provide an update on his condition on Wednesday. "My wife called me as soon as it happened," added Simmons. "He is the same age as I was with the same name. I think there's an omen somewhere that he will pull through and I hope so." John Gibson, 45, had access to all areas at the stadium while he was working there with Brinks Allied. He was based at the security desk at the Hogan Stand and has since resigned his position. Each booklet had a total of 33 tickets allowing admission into each game at Croke Park for the GAA season of 2014. The seven booklets had a total value of 9,313 euros (£6,834). The court heard that there is no entitlement to sell off tickets individually so the booklets were effectively worthless and Gibson never made a profit from them. At Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, Gibson of St Catherine's Gate, Rush, County Dublin, pleaded guilty to theft of the booklets from Croke Park on dates between January and March 2014. He had no previous convictions. Judge Martin Nolan gave him a 18-month suspended prison sentence. He said he believed that Gibson had already suffered through his loss of employment and accepted he had shown considerable remorse for the offence. "He is a decent man who made a serious mistake on the day in question," said Judge Nolan, adding that it was "painfully obvious" that he didn't deserve a jail sentence. Earlier, a detective told the court the GAA spotted the tickets for sale on a website and immediately cancelled them. In a match between two sides safe from relegation, a mistake by Cherries goalkeeper Artur Boruc was punished when Salomon Rondon headed home. Boruc saved Craig Gardner's penalty before half-time, and Ritchie drew the hosts level with a close-range header. Craig Dawson hit the post late on as the Baggies pressed for a winner. Relive Bournemouth v West Brom Reaction to Saturday's Premier League matches The midfielder had earlier seen his penalty pushed onto the crossbar by Boruc, who dived to his right again to brilliantly push away the follow-up effort. The draw meant Bournemouth are without a win in four games, while West Brom's last victory came against Manchester United eight games ago. Bournemouth looked in control and untroubled until a glaring mistake from their goalkeeper gave West Brom the chance to strike. Boruc's low clearance went straight to Jonathan Leko, who dribbled towards the box before finding Evans on the left. The former Manchester United man's pinpoint cross was emphatically headed home by Rondon, and Boruc could only kick the ball angrily back towards halfway for the restart. Boruc will prefer to look back at the moments that kept his side in the game. West Brom were awarded a penalty three minutes before half-time when Tommy Elphick tangled with Gareth McAuley. Boruc tipped Gardner's spot-kick onto the bar with an excellent save, then got back to his feet quickly enough to push the follow-up away. It was a moment that proved vital, giving the Cherries the chance to come back late in the game. Bournemouth dominated possession and played the kind of attractive football they have for much of their debut Premier League season. Media playback is not supported on this device But it was a more basic approach that drew them level, with Ritchie latching on to a throw-in that slid off the head of Claudio Yacob inside West Brom's area. It was a moment of sloppy defending not usually associated with sides managed by Tony Pulis, and helped deny what would have been only their second away win in the league in 2016. West Brom host Liverpool, who just three days later will play in the Europa League final, on 15 May, the last day of the Premier League season. Also at 15:00 BST that day, Bournemouth travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in a match that could have an impact on the race for Champions League places. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "We didn't deserve to lose today, we had a lot of possession but they are not the type of team to go behind to." On Artur Boruc's save: "It made a different atmosphere in the ground. In the second half we were much improved and I thought we deserved the equaliser. "I'm slightly disappointed with elements of the performance, but overall you have to reflect on the season and it's been a great effort by the players." Media playback is not supported on this device West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "We're disappointed, the players have worked so hard. Bournemouth play the way they play, but they didn't really cause us any problems. "Harry Arter should have been booked for pushing Jonas Olsson over, then there's a blatant handball that again he doesn't get booked for and the challenge on Darren Fletcher is a straight red. "We've had five penalties this year, and missed four so we have to blame ourselves on that." Match ends, Bournemouth 1, West Bromwich Albion 1.

Tess of the d'Urvbervilles ends at Stonehenge and features the "sound". Modern-day druids also say they experience something special when they gather at Stonehenge and play instruments within the stone circle. However, Stonehenge is a ruin. Whatever sound it originally had 3,000 years ago has been lost but now, using technology created for video games and architects, Dr Rupert Till of the University of Huddersfield has - with the help of some ancient instruments - created a virtual sound tour of Stonehenge as it would have sounded with all the stones in place. Arriving at 07:00 on a decidedly chilly January morning, I was sceptical. Dr Till had arrived with a horn, a drum and some sticks to try to show me that, even in its partially deconstructed state, there was still a distinctive echo. Perhaps it's the mystique of the stones but it's easy to hear something. However, sound is always going to bounce off huge standing stones: how can we say that was in any way meaningful for people 3,000 years ago? Dr Till says there's a great deal of evidence that ancient people were intrigued and drawn to places that had a distinctive sound and Stonehenge had a "strange acoustic". Even today, the wind or drumming can, he says, help generate a 47hz bass note. He first got a taste of what the circle might do to sound when he visited a concrete replica of the original intact Stonehenge in Maryhill in the US state of Washington. He has now developed an app which will help people blot out the sounds - including those made by tourists, and cars on the nearby A303 - and go back to the soundscape of 3,000 years ago. He's used instruments that were used at the time, such as bone flutes and animal horns, to give people a sense of what music would have sounded like within the reverberation of the intact stone circle and says the site has some of the characteristics you might expect of a rock concert venue. Dr Till explains that there's there's strong evidence that people several thousand years ago had an interest in acoustic environments. He's worked on caves in Spain in which instruments have been found deep underground. The echoes of the tunnels and cave systems may have had a special meaning for people. There are also, what appears to be, human markings on certain "musical" stalactites. Strike the stalactites in the right way and they give off a deep resonant note and can be played like a huge vertical xylophone. Stonehenge is a magnet for strange theories but this reflects a wider movement within archaeology to try to recreate the past with the rapidly growing technology of virtual reality (VR). Dr Aaron Watson is a research archaeologist and specialises in visualising the past. VR, he says, opens up a new way of researching history. "The material record can't give us all the answers," he explains. "The moment we start creating a virtual reality world it begins to ask questions, especially about people. What were they wearing, what were their postures, were they highly coloured, tattooed? As soon as we create the immersive experience it demands those answers. "It gives a new sensory experience to looking at the past that might take us beyond what we describe in books." Six fire engines have been sent to Avondale Industrial Estate, Cwmbran, along with three water bowsers. South Wales Fire and Rescue Service received a callout shortly before 18:50 GMT on Saturday. It is not yet known how the fire began. Modric struck towards the end of the first half and his team created numerous chances to extend their lead as they dominated after the interval. Darijo Srna and Ivan Perisic struck the woodwork while Turkey keeper Volkan Babacan made several good saves as Croatia won the first match of a tough group that includes Spain and the Czech Republic. Turkey's best chance came in the opening half, when Ozan Tufan saw his header saved - but despite being roared on by their passionate fans inside the Parc des Princes, they were second best on Sunday. They did produce one scare for the Croatian defence right at the end but there was a timely block from Vedran Corluka, who was wearing a white bandage that evoked shades of former England defender Terry Butcher after suffering a cut to his head from a stray elbow in the first half. Just minutes before Modric broke the deadlock with his sensational volley, the Real Madrid playmaker had thrown his arms out in a gesture of frustration at a team-mate, indicating how he had wanted to receive the ball. The match was turning out to be a contest more about balls into the box from wide areas than defence-splitting passes. That was despite an abundance of talented midfielders on display, including Modric, Barcelona pair Ivan Rakitic and Arda Turan, plus Besiktas' highly-rated but disappointing Oguzhan Ozyakup, who was withdrawn at the break. Veteran right-back Srna had delivered several telling crosses into the Turkey area, as did Ivan Perisic from the left side, although Marcelo Brozovic in particular was guilty of failing to make the most of the openings. That all changed shortly before the break when Modric showed superb technique to strike crisply from 25 yards after a clearance from Selcuk Inan had looped high into the cloudy Paris sky. As the 30-year-old slid on his knees towards his team's fans - one of whom invaded the pitch to joint the celebrations - Turkey keeper Babacan might have wondered if he should have done better with the dipping shot. Croatia coach Ante Cacic said before Euro 2016 started that he hoped his team could be one of the surprises of the tournament, while several prominent Croatians think this might just be their most talented group of players. There was certainly much to admire as Sunday's match wore on, with Rakitic finally starting to punch holes in the Turkish defence and Croatia repeatedly threatening to score a decisive second. The superb Srna skimmed the crossbar with a free-kick and Perisic headed against the woodwork as Cacic's side looked to score a decisive second. Brozovic also went close with an acrobatic volley and a header that was tipped over as his side showed they have the ability to open up the opposition. What they do lack is a mobile forward, with the battering ram that is Mario Manduzic not ideally suited to the style espoused by the playmakers behind him. Turkey reached the semi-finals at Euro 2008 after beating Croatia on penalties, but will have to show a vast improvement if they are to make the last four here. Fatih Terim is in his third spell in charge of Turkey and his side showed plenty of resilience to qualify for Euro 2016 after a terrible start to their qualifying campaign. But they were second best against Croatia, with a defence that was opened up repeatedly after the break and an attack that offered little. Barcelona midfielder Turan, Terim's captain and key player, was a peripheral presence and was withdrawn with 25 minutes remaining, while free-kick specialist Hakan Calhanoglu, who has been compared to Mesut Ozil, was also disappointing. It was telling that the introduction of Emre Mor after 69 minutes was greeted by a huge roar from the Turkey fans. Mor is regarded as a huge talent but the playmaker is just 18 and if Terim is turning to him to bail out his team, then they clearly have problems. Croatia coach Ante Cacic: "Luka really deserves to be talked about, especially after this match. It was one of his best matches in Croatia's history. He played really well and he was our leader. "He scored a magical goal and at the end it was the only goal. We need Luka in this form. All the team looks better and more aggressive when he plays like that."

The crash, which happened at the Black Hill section of the course near Portrush, led to racing being abandoned for the night. Farquhar was airlifted by police helicopter from the track after the accident and was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. A statement from the North West 200 organisers on Friday morning said that Farquhar remained "seriously ill in intensive care following surgery". Belfast Trust said on Saturday that Farquhar remains "seriously ill" . A well-known figure in motorcycling, he has won five races at the North West. He retired from the sport in 2012 following the death of his uncle Trevor Ferguson at that year's Manx Grand Prix in the Isle of Man. However, Farquhar resumed his road racing career in 2014, saying that his family backed his decision to return. Thursday's earlier practice session at the meeting saw an air ambulance being deployed after a rider was hurt. Nico Mawhinney from Castledawson crashed at the Mill Road roundabout and was transported to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, where he is said to be in a stable condition. There has been a campaign to get an air ambulance for Northern Ireland, and a fund to help achieve this is the official charity at this North West 200. Alastair Seeley, who won the earlier opening Supersport race to become the most successful rider in North West 200 history, was not competing in the Supertwin class where Farquhar and Cooper crashed. "I was in the pit lane when it happened and I heard the gasp from everybody as they were watching the monitors," said Seeley. "Our thoughts are just with the riders. I hope they have a speedy recovery." Seeley added that all the riders "know the risks" involved in the sport. "I always try and ride within the limit," added the Carrickfergus man. The army and other pro-government forces were reported to have entered deep into the city after IS pulled out. It ends the second occupation of Palmyra by the jihadists. The first time they controlled the area, the militants destroyed some of its most celebrated monuments. IS fighters were driven out in March last year, but managed to retake the city, its world famous ruins and the surrounding area in December. Syria's Ambassador to the United Nations Bashar al-Jaafari confirmed the recapture on Thursday. He said the city had been "liberated from the hands of the terrorist organisation" and that President Bashar al-Assad had kept his promise to drive them out. In Russia, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu was reported by local media to have told President Vladimir Putin on Thursday that Palmyra had been fully retaken by the Syrian army with help from the Russian air force. There were clashes and heavy shelling across the historic city as the offensive unfolded on Wednesday, UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. IS militants planted mines in several areas of the city before withdrawing, it said. IS held the ruins and the nearby city, known locally as Tadmur, for 10 months after seizing it for the first time in May 2015. It blew up temples, burial towers and the Arch of Triumph, believing the shrines and statues to be idolatrous. The jihadists also destroyed the 2,000-year-old Temple of Bel, the great sanctuary of the Palmyrene gods. The militants were then forced out by a Russian-backed government offensive in March 2016, but regained control while pro-government forces where focused on the battle for the city of Aleppo late last year. In January, satellite images revealed that the group destroyed the tetrapylon - a group of four pillared structures which were mainly modern replicas - and part of the Roman Theatre. The head of Unesco, Irinia Bokova, described the destruction as "a new war crime". The Foreign Affairs Committee said the government gave the impression of prioritising trade and security with China, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. This was despite a doubling in funding for the Foreign Office's dedicated human rights project. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said improving human rights was a "core function of the Foreign Office". But the committee's chairman, Conservative MP Crispin Blunt, said: "The actions and words of ministers in the Foreign Office have undermined the excellent human rights work carried out by the department. "This needs to be remedied." Giving evidence to the committee in October, Sir Simon McDonald, the Foreign Office's most senior civil servant, said human rights was "not one of our top priorities". This was strongly rejected by ministers, but the committee said written evidence it received suggested there was "plainly a perception that this has occurred". The committee welcomed the doubling of funding for the department's human rights programme, called the Magna Carta Fund for Human Rights and Democracy, to £10.6m. But it said the decision to restrict the fund to registered organisations "acts against an intelligent deployment of resources". The MPs criticised remarks by Middle East Minister Tobias Ellwood, who told the committee he could not remember whether he had raised human rights during a visit to Egypt with a business delegation. "We are disappointed by the parliamentary under-secretary of state's choice of language on this occasion and others, which raises questions about how energetically the government is raising human rights issues," the MPs said. And they said the Foreign Office had failed to send an "important message" by not including Egypt and Bahrain on a list of "Human Rights Priority Countries", saying this "contributes to the perception that the [Foreign Office] has become more hesitant in promoting and defending international human rights openly and robustly, notwithstanding the importance of private diplomacy". The department should be "more mindful of the perceptions it creates at ministerial level" in its dealings with China, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the report said, because "perceptions and symbols matter." It also said the the department's failure to fly the rainbow flag - an international symbol of equality - for the London Pride event in 2015 "sent a message that contradicts much of the actual work and objectives" of the department. And it suggested the Foreign Office's human rights work should be presented in a more "user-friendly fashion" so it can be evaluated more easily. Mr Hammond said: "I do not recognise this characterisation of our human rights work." The UK supports over 75 human rights projects in more than 40 countries, he said, adding that the doubling of funding for the projects was "a true measure of the importance we attach to this agenda". He added: "By mainstreaming human rights within the Foreign Office, we have ensured it will always be a central part of our diplomacy, delivering tangible results." Page has been interviewed by the FAW, but no contract has been signed yet. The 42-year-old is first-team coach at Championship club Nottingham Forest after he was sacked as manager by League One side Northampton in January. The former Cardiff City and Watford defender was capped 41 times by Wales in a 10-year international career. If he takes over, Page will succeed Geraint Williams, whose contract was not renewed by the FAW when it expired last year. The former Derby and Ipswich midfielder had been in charge since 2012. The chancellor has made it clear to his allies he wants jobs and the economy to be the first consideration as Britain leaves the European Union. His approach is described by some as a "soft" Brexit, meaning that the UK keeps closer ties to the single market and possibly stays within the customs union. Even if that means making more financial contributions to the EU. It is certainly different in tone from pre-election comments by the Prime Minister that "no deal is better than a bad deal". At the Mansion House speech tonight, Philip Hammond will say that £48bn of funds from the European Union's investment bank will not be put at risk. The European Investment Bank (EIB) provides funding for infrastructure projects across the EU, such as the building of the Crossrail train line in London, and tram networks in Nottingham and Manchester. It lends at preferential rates to EU members and some thought the source of financing could be at risk as the UK approaches the departure date of March 2019. But the government will now act as final guarantor for those funds if the EIB demands extra assurances on the financial viability of the projects. The Treasury says it will use financing available from the British Business Bank to cover any shortfalls the UK faces. Although the guarantee is likely to be welcomed by business - which has often felt locked out of the Brexit process - much more important is the tone Mr Hammond will strike in his speech tonight. It will be the first significant intervention in the Brexit debate by a member of the Cabinet since the election and Theresa May's loss of authority. Mr Hammond backs a discussion around membership of the EU's customs union even if that curtails Britain's ability to sign free trade deals with other nations. Such a position could put him at odds with the International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, who wants Britain to be free to sign new trade deals with non-EU countries. Yesterday Mr Hammond was discussing with aides how far he should travel down the "soft Brexit" route ahead of a meeting with Mrs May, which is planned for this morning, to finalise the speech, one of the most important in the economic calendar. It is unlikely he will overtly distance himself from the government's pre-election position laid out by the Prime Minister in her Lancaster House speech last January, in which she said Britain would leave the single market and "full membership" of the customs union. What "no full membership" means is still unclear, and Britain could now look at a position where it is still bound by some of the customs union's rules in exchange for tariff free access to the rest of the single market. Although there have been significant tensions between the Treasury and Number 10 over the approach not just to Brexit but to the UK economy, Mr Hammond is aware that Mrs May is in a fragile position politically. Any push to change the government's position on the EU is likely to be coded. But his desire for closer ties with Britain's largest trading partner is likely to be clear in the language, I have been told. Mr Hammond is close to Wolfgang Schaeuble, the German finance minister, who wants strong economic ties with the UK post-Brexit. The chancellor, who campaigned to remain in the EU ahead of the referendum, believes there will be a deal, but the tone has to change towards the rest of the EU if Britain is to achieve it. Ferrari impressed in Barcelona as they finished winter testing fastest. Pre-season favourites Mercedes managed 1096 laps; Red Bull completed 684. "There is a lot of sandbagging in testing. Nobody really knows what specification each other's cars are running in," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "We've never won a testing world championship but we are confident we have had a good pre-season." The first race of the 2017 campaign gets under way in Australia on 26 March. Red Bull won two races last season as they finished second to a dominant Mercedes in the constructors' championship. While Horner acknowledges Mercedes will once again be the team to beat, he is hopeful Red Bull can challenge them more often this year. "Mercedes are still very much the favourite," he said. "Ferrari had a positive pre-season, they look like they have a good car but we are reasonably confident that we have the basis of a good car. "It will now be all about development throughout the season and we are hopeful we can close the gap to Mercedes." Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen both won one race each last year, with the latter claiming his maiden F1 win at the Spanish Grand Prix. It was a somewhat controversial outcome as Ricciardo had been leading the race for 31 laps but a bad strategy call ultimately cost the Australian while the correct one for Verstappen paved the way for the young Dutchman to take victory. Horner insists no one driver will be favoured over the other this season, but stressed that that they must respect each other on the circuit. "The rules we have are very clear," he added. "Both drivers have the same opportunity but we expect them to respect each other on the circuit. "They must give each other space and respect when they are racing which, to date, they have been very, very good at." The £70m Normandie 3 will help meet the island's power needs for the "foreseeable future", said Jersey Electricity. The island had been relying on power from diesel generators and a second cable after the first subsea link failed permanently in 2012. The 32km (20 mile) cable links Jersey to a substation at Periers. The symbolic switching on, by Jean-Louis Muscagorry of Réseau Transport d'Électricité (RTE), came three months after the cable started bringing power to Jersey. It also brings power to neighbouring Guernsey via another cable from Jersey. Jersey Electricity chief executive Chris Ambler said: "Islanders and businesses can be assured of even greater security of supply coupled with more affordable and stable pricing." The work is being funded by the Channel Islands Electricity Grid, which was set up by Guernsey and Jersey Electricity to install and manage the undersea cables between France and the islands. Trinity Gay, 15, died after being shot in the neck amid an exchange of gunfire between two parked vehicles at a restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky. Police do not believe Trinity was in either of the vehicles involved in the early Sunday morning shootout. On Monday night, thousands of people held a candlelight vigil in her memory. Chazerae Taylor, 38, and his 19-year-old son D'Markeo, face charges for wanton endangerment. Bail was set at $5,000 (£4,000) for each of them. Another man, Dvonta Middlebrooks, 21, was charged with wanton endangerment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. His bail was set at $12,500. All three men allegedly fired multiple shots during the incident. On Monday night, Tyson Gay led thousands of mourners in a candlelight vigil for his daughter at her Kentucky high school. Gay said he was numb from crying over Trinity's death as he stood on the track at Lexington's Lafayette High School, which he also attended as a boy. "I want you guys to love each other, have peace and protect each other," said Gay. "That's what Trinity would have wanted. Life is not a joke." Trinity was following in her father's footsteps as a talented sprinter at the school. She had placed in the top five for several events in the Kentucky state competitions. Gay said he believed his daughter was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of the shootout that erupted in the early hours of Sunday between two vehicles. Trinity was pronounced dead less than an hour later at the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital. "She was a beautiful person, very outgoing, athletic, always wanting to accomplish something," Debra Conley, Trinity's grandmother, told the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper. USA Track and Field have also tweeted their condolences. Tyson Gay is the joint second-fastest 100m runner of all time, behind Usain Bolt. He participated in the last three summer Olympic games and was part of the US 100m relay team at the Rio Olympics. He won a silver for the 4x100 meter relay in London 2012, but that medal was stripped when he tested positive in 2013 for a prohibited substance and was banned from competition for a year. Now it's being eyed as a possible solution to bridging the digital divide, by two colourful entrepreneurs behind the start-up Keepod. Nissan Bahar and Franky Imbesi aim to combat the lack of access to computers by providing what amounts to an operating-system-on-a-stick. In six weeks, their idea managed to raise more than $40,000 (£23,750) on fundraising site Indiegogo, providing the cash to begin a campaign to offer low-cost computing to the two-thirds of the globe's population that currently has little or no access. The test bed for the project is the slums of Nairobi in Kenya. The typical income for the half a million people in the city's Mathare district is about $2 (£1.20) a day. Very few people here use a computer or have access to the net. But Mr Bahar and Mr Imbesi want to change that with their Keepod USB stick. It will allow old, discarded and potentially non-functional PCs to be revived, while allowing each user to have ownership of their own "personal computer" experience - with their chosen desktop layout, programs and data - at a fraction of the cost of providing a unique laptop, tablet or other machine to each person. In addition, the project avoids a problem experienced by some other recycled PC schemes that resulted in machines becoming "clogged up" and running at a snail's pace after multiple users had saved different things to a single hard drive. The two men hope to get up to 150,000 people signed up to their idea in the country. To do so, the pair have teamed up with LiveInSlums - a non-governmental organisation operating in Mathare - to introduce the flash drives to students and staff at WhyNot Academy. Like other schools in East Africa, the school uses text books and chalk boards to teach. Two years ago it was connected to the electricity supply. During a visit to the school in March, Mr Bahar and Mr Imbesi decided to buy a router and a Sim card to hook the classrooms up to the internet. Their solution involved hanging the router in a carrier bag nailed next to one of two plug sockets in the school. It looked makeshift, but that didn't prevent the children cheering when it was announced the academy had gone online. The pair also brought five old laptops with their hard disks removed to the school. As they gave each child one of the Keepod USB sticks to keep, they explained the second-hand computers would boot up directly from the flash drives. In fact, any computer with a screen, keyboard and basic processor should play a perfect host because each Keepod stick comes with a unique desktop version of Google's Android 4.4 operating system on board. The effect is to make any laptop or PC as simple to use as a smartphone, with icons displayed for each task or saved website that the user may want to see. Each Keepod remembers its owner's settings, passwords and websites visited. It stores any files or programs downloaded on the other half of its 8GB storage capacity. The information can be encrypted and is protected by a password needed for operation when it's plugged in. "It makes it possible for anyone with a Keepod to use any computer and get the same experience," says Mr Bahar. "Each child will see their own files and apps appear in exactly the same way each time, without the need to remember lots of passwords." The amazement and excitement at seeing these old laptops come to life was palpable inside the classroom. And the children stayed long after classes had ended to explore and set up their new devices. Head teacher, Dominic Otieno believes the technology will help change the children's mind sets. "It will help Africans help themselves, it will help them to start to learn the skills of business," he says. "They are going to learn to read the story of people who have made it from nothing, but through business, people who did not go through a lot of education but they made it." Before they left the school, there was more good news for the Keepod founders. A teacher from the US had spotted their campaign and called mid-visit to say he would pay for more USB drives to be distributed in Nairobi if the founders also provided copies for pupils at his school. The idea, he explained, would be that the children on each continent could communicate together and share a common experience. Keepod is never going to be a huge money-spinner, but the idea is that it will eventually support itself. Mr Bahar and Mr Imbesi's plan is for locally employed workers to buy the flash drives on the open market, install the operating system and a few essential apps, and then sell them on for a small gain. The final price would be $7 (£4.15), delivering about a $2 profit on each device that would help cover wages and the further expansion of the project. They explain an added benefit of their scheme over alternative computer-donation efforts is that even if a Keepod owner has their device infected with malware, it should not be able to spread to the host computer - meaning one person's misfortune should not affect others. The start-up also plans to provide a Keepod back-up facility, offering a way to protect owners from losing their files if the USB device is lost or becomes corrupted. Rita Anyango is one of the five people Keepod has trained up to maintain the Mathare project. She likes the unique way in which the scheme, unlike others she has worked on, offers ownership of the computing experience to each user. But she but fears that some parents may be tempted to trade the devices to put more expensive food on the family table, like meat, if they don't realise its long-term potential. The tiny devices could be exchanged or worse stolen, she says, if they're not looked after. Tony Roberts, former chief executive of the global charity Computer Aid International, also has concerns. He warns it would be over-optimistic to place too much belief in technology being able to simply solve problems like improving education or making agriculture more efficient. "In my experience it's always about how the people use the technology and not that technology itself as a magic bullet," he says. "People will need to be trained and as more flash drives are sold even more people will need training, and more computer hubs will need more maintaining. "Finding the resources to fund that within a $7 price tag will be tough." He also makes a more pressing point. That most people in rural areas of the world are poor and it's in those areas where electricity and connectivity are often bigger challenges. Without those basics the scheme won't work. Even so, he wishes the project well and would personally back it. Keepod's founders' next plan to roll it out to India, Israel, southern Italy, and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa. To help do so, they intend to sell starter packs so that anyone can supervise their own scheme with some old laptops and a bunch of cheap USB drives. They'll be driven on by memories of the many smiling faces at the celebration thrown in Mathare to mark WhyNot Academy receiving the devices. Here, at least, the party has already begun.

The Scottish government decided not to call in decisions to shut Mouswald and Drochduil primaries along with the Elmbank Centre in Dumfries. The properties will now be declared surplus to requirements by the education department. They will be passed to the council's property and architectural services to decide how to dispose of the sites. The former New Orleans Saints defensive end was shot several times during an argument after a traffic accident in the city's Lower Garden District. Cardell Hayes, 29, has been charged with second-degree murder, New Orleans police said. Smith's wife, Racquel, was also shot in the incident and taken to hospital. The couple have three children. A Hummer H2 crashed into the back of Smith's Mercedes-Benz SUV at around 23:30, police said, causing Smith's vehicle to rear-end another car driven by one of his friends. Smith and the Hummer's driver "exchanged words" before the man pulled out a gun and shot Smith a number of times, said police. "We are thankful for the outpouring of support and prayers," a Smith family statement said. "We ask that you continue to respect the family's privacy as they grieve the loss of a devoted husband, father and friend." Smith, originally from Queens, New York, played for Ohio State's 2002 national championship team and was part of the New Orleans Saints team that won the Super Bowl in 2009. The female bird was found hopping in the road in early June with its wings coated in an unknown substance. Conservationists initially thought it had been caught in a glue trap but tests showed the oily substance was "partially digested fish matter". The falcon was released into the wild again last week. It was flown in a private plane from Guernsey for treatment at the Hawk Conservancy Trust's specialist bird of prey hospital in Andover, and back again. Scientists analysed a sample of the bird's feathers and found that the substance coating them was a natural ester-based oil - which includes vegetable, seed and fish matter - with a high presence of sand and soil. Ashley Smith, chief executive officer of the Hawk Conservancy Trust, said: "The results have presented a totally different scenario to the one first imagined when she was found. "We now believe that the peregrine may have preyed upon seabirds, possibly a gull, which has used its primary defence mechanism of projectile vomiting to escape her. "The partially-digested fish matter would have coated her feathers and she would then have tried to clean herself by dust bathing. "This would explain the high presence of sand and soil in the sample, which had encrusted her feathers and prevented her from flying." Paul Betchley, falconer with the trust who released the bird into the wild last week, said: "It was an amazing moment. "We opened the door to the carrying-box and she hopped out, got her bearings and then took to the skies. "Let's hope she's learned her lesson and will avoid gulls in future." It follows a Fifa delegation's mediation in the SSFA's political disputes during a two-day visit. Fifa's team met SSFA president Chabur Goc Alei, the SSFA executive committee and the South Sudan government. "We have agreed to put aside our differences and look forward," Alei told BBC Sport. The SSFA is expected to convene an extraordinary General Assembly on 17 September, to elect the committee that will discharge the responsibility of conducting next year's election. It will also examine the SSFA's finances and make relevant amendments to its statutes, "regarding the situation of new states [in the country] and new local football associations". After a scan on Sunday, the club said he will be out for eight to 12 weeks and will have an operation this week. Right back Rangel, 34, had to be replaced by Jordi Amat after just 33 minutes at the KCOM Stadium.

The club are also awaiting news of an ankle injury sustained by left back Martin Olsson, who was hobbling late in the game. Speaking on BBC Wales' Sunday Supplement, Nathan Gill also said it was "complete stupidity to think by sticking a bunch of wind turbines all over Wales that we are somehow going to stop the weather from changing". His comments were criticised by Labour, Tories, Lib Dems, Plaid and the Greens who say humans affect climate change. Mr Gill said it was simply an excuse to tax people. He told the programme: "We don't agree that man is responsible for changing the climate. "We think it's hubris and we also think that governments have realised this is a great way of taxing people and people will say 'thank you for taxing us because you're going to save the world'." He said it was "ridiculous" to think man could change the climate, saying: "A volcano eruption will produce more CO2 than man has ever been able to produce in the short time since the industrial revolution." Pippa Bartolotti, leader of the Green Party in Wales, told BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme climate change was man made. She said: "The CO2 which is being burnt every time we use fossil fuels goes into the atmosphere and is heating up the planet. "Greenhouses gases are going to cause global warming of up to six degrees if we don't do something about it now." On twitter, Labour's Carl Sargeant, the Welsh government's environment minister, said it was "bonkers" to suggest climate change wasn't affected by humans. Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davie said: "Like many other UKIP policies, what Nathan Gill's comments reveal is simplicity of thinking. We all accept that climate change needs to be dealt with without conspiracy theorism" Roger Williams, deputy leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats said: "It's staggering to hear that UKIP deny the existence of man-made climate change. "Once again, UKIP is trying to take us backwards, rather than forwards." And Plaid's parliamentary candidate for Pontypridd, Osian Lewis, said: "Like any other sensible party, Plaid Cymru looks to the experts for evidence on policy. "More than 95% of experts agree that climate change is a man-made reality that poses danger to our communities. "As a man-made problem, it is also within man's gift to slow the effects of climate change." The deal creates the world largest travel retailer, with a market share of 25% and projected annual sales of $9bn (€8.3bn; £6bn). Dufry is paying €10.25 a share for the 50.1% stake, valuing the group at €3.6bn. World Duty Free operates 495 stores in 98 airports, including London's Heathrow and Gatwick. Based in Basel, Dufry has 1,650 stores in more than 60 countries with around 20,000 employees. Last year it made a record turnover of $4.3bn. That compares to World Duty Free's turnover of $2.6bn, currently owned by Edizione, the holding company of the Benetton family. Retail spending at airports is expected to rise in the years ahead, particularly in Asia where more than 350 new airports are set to be built. Further details on the transaction are expected on Monday. Another 15 people were injured in the car bomb attack on the Le Jardin restaurant, Kabul Criminal Investigation Department head Faraidoon Ubaidi told the BBC. All of the casualties are Afghan civilians and one of the attackers was captured. The Taliban claimed responsibility. Gunshots were reportedly heard following the explosion and security forces rushed to Taimani, where the attack occurred.. Reuters reported that a 12-year-old boy had been killed, citing medical workers. Who are the Taliban? In December, insurgents killed six people, including two Spanish police officers, when they stormed a guesthouse attached to the Spanish embassy in Kabul. Taimani is located near a district with many foreign embassies and government buildings. The Taliban have stepped up attacks on high-profile targets in Afghanistan in recent months. In August, the US Embassy in Afghanistan warned of possible Taliban attacks in Taimani on "several targets frequented by foreigners". Twenty-one people, including 13 foreigners, were killed in a claimed Taliban gun and bomb attack on a popular Lebanese restaurant in Kabul last January. Ruchi Kumar, a journalist in Kabul, told the BBC that the Le Jardin restaurant is well guarded, with several heavy metal doors and security checks. The explosion reportedly shattered a number of windows in the neighbourhood. "My house shook to the foundation and I live three streets away," Ms Kumar said. The attack comes as Afghanistan and Pakistan try to lay the ground for peace negotiations with the Taliban. Talks broke down in July after it was revealed that the group's leader, Mullah Omar had died in 2013 Talks between Afghanistan, Pakistan, the US and China will be held in Pakistan on January 11. The class of 2013 wrote their own chapter in the county's fledgling history - and built on the successes of 2008 and 2009 - with an eight-wicket win against Nottinghamshire. Few would have backed them to feature among the frontrunners at the start of the campaign following a winter of change at Chester-le-Street, but 10 wins from 15 games propelled the most northerly of first-class counties to the title at the expense of rivals Yorkshire. BBC Sport has spoken to three of the heroes of Durham's triumph - coaches Geoff Cook, Jon Lewis and captain Paul Collingwood - to assess how the championship was won. Paul Collingwood took over the captaincy at Durham towards the end of last season, and led the county to five wins and a draw from the last six matches to alleviate any fears of the drop. The former England one-day skipper has brought all his international experience and nous to the county circuit, inspiring the crop of 2013 to success. They've been superbly captained by Paul Collingwood, he's been inspirational, without wanting to use a word that's overused. He's been excellent in bringing a calmness and competitiveness to the team Jon Lewis: "The bond and the feeling with the lads is a very strong one and Paul deserves a lot of credit for that. He's focused on engendering a very positive atmosphere in the dressing room. "He's aware that we've got some young guys in the side who maybe won't deal with the knocks quite as well yet as they will in a few years time. Because he's very patient with them when we do have tough days and tough sessions he makes sure they don't lose belief with themselves and, as I say, he is very, very positive." Geoff Cook: "They've been superbly captained by Paul Collingwood, he's been inspirational, without wanting to use a word that's overused. He's been excellent in bringing a calmness and competitiveness to the team. "I think making that transition when he was absolutely committed to the England cause and making that transition back to the ranks of the English game is tough. "I'm not sure how he was finding the initial half of last year when the team was struggling as the players were all at different stages of their career. Then a change in captaincy was needed, Paul was asked to do the job and I think he was delighted and it has given him the impetus to recharge his batteries." All three of Durham's title-winning sides have been built on a prolific set of bowlers, from the pace and bounce of Callum Thorp and Steve Harmison in 2008 and 2009, to the un-erring accuracy of Graham Onions and Chris Rushworth in 2013. Onions contributed 66 wickets and Rushworth 53, while Ben Stokes' 40, Mark Wood's 27 and Scott Borthwick's 25 added to a varied presence. Paul Collingwood: "The bowlers have been magnificent all year, they keep taking 20 wickets every game. We somehow keep on bringing young bowlers through all the time and they're all pushing for international status. "Graham Onions has been superb, and the guy who doesn't get plaudits all the time is Chris Rushworth. No matter what form of game he has been absolutely superb, and has taken over 50 wickets in the four-day stuff, which has gone a long way to helping us win this championship." GC: "It's been a fairly rapid evolvement, from having the likes of Liam Plunkett, Harmison and Thorp, who were a very potent group of players, to young guys coming in like Harrison, Wood and Rushworth. They're formidable - especially here at Chester-le-Street, where it does help the seamers, and they combine excellently. "I admire people who perhaps recognise where things went wrong initially, and Rushworth had the opportunity to come back and have a second crack at being a professional cricketer. He's taken that brilliantly. He's been central to everything for Durham in all forms of cricket." JL: "Rushworth has been exceptional. It goes back to the beginning of last winter. He had a decent summer last year and had a decision to make - if he really cranked up the work he could have a big summer [in 2013]. "He worked his nut off, his physical work was excellent and that's what kept him on the field. He's probably taken the new ball more than anyone else for the county this season. Every day, one-day games, whatever, Rushy's there." Losing coach Geoff Cook for two months after a heart attack was a major blow for Durham, but under Jon Lewis, Neil Killeen and Alan Walker's stewardship the team were able to maintain their championship title bid. "It was an unscheduled mid-season break. I was jogging round the Chester-le-Street riverside and the next thing I knew I woke up in hospital," Durham coach Geoff Cook told BBC Radio 5 Live. "Someone was jogging behind me - he must have been going really slowly - and they found me, tried to bring me round and called for the ambulance. "The doctors, who were fantastic, said it was a freak accident. I'm absolutely fine now and have a little mechanism attached inside me. "There was no damage to the heart, so I was very fortunate." The shoulder injury to Dale Benkenstein was another set-back, but the depth to the squad, built around a productive academy set-up, provided crucial options for the coaching staff. Finances also dictated squad matters, with no overseas imports for first-class, List A or Twenty20 cricket in 2013. JL: "We have had to play players like Usman Arshad, Mark Wood had to play half the season, Jamie Harrison is more established in the side, Michael Richardson is also more established, Ryan Buckley, Ryan Pringle - these players are going to have to take on a serious mantle." PC: "It's been a tough year off the pitch with all the adversity that we've been through, with Geoff's illness and a lot of different issues. It was horrible news in June when Geoff went down with the heart attack, it wasn't nice going to see him when it looked like he was on his death bed, but look at him now - he is back and has responded. "When you lose people, others have to put their hand up. The players wanted to do it for Geoff. It's a third year out of 21 [that Durham have won the title], which is a great record. "The guys have really stood up at the right times of the year and to see so many youngsters, local youngsters, scoring big runs and scoring five-fors and winning games - it's been very satisfying from a captain's point of view to watch them blossom and grow into men." Sunderland-born leg spinner Scott Borthwick has been on England's radar for a good while, having spent time in one-day and Lions squads for his bowling prowess. However, the paucity of spinner's tracks on the English county circuit, plus the loss of top-order batsmen such as Michael Di Venuto and Dale Benkenstein, saw the 23-year-old switched from eight to three, with Michael Richardson moving the other way. The switch has paid off, as Borthwick is ninth in the Most Valuable Player rankings and has scored 985 first-class runs, to add to 25 wickets, in 2013 with one game remaining. PC: "The batters somehow find a way to get more runs than the opposition, which is the whole point of cricket, but for Mark Stoneman and Scott Borthwick to score 1,000 in the season - a special mention goes to them, especially at the Riverside. It has been a great, great achievement." JL: "Early season pitches don't favour leg-spinners and Scott is a real crucial part of the side, not just as a bowler but also his catching, late-order runs and the energy and spirit that he brings. "We wanted to keep him in the side but it was also difficult that we also wanted to get that extra seamer on as well, because the early season wickets were needing that. It was a bit of a punt and I don't think we expected him to kick on as he has, because he has done magnificently." The changing of the guard at Durham has seen older heads - Ian Blackwell, Liam Plunkett and Michael Di Venuto to name three departures - gradually replaced by academy products - among them Mark Wood, Jamie Harrison and Keaton Jennings. It's brilliant for the north east. It shows how strong the club culture is up here, how strong the academy is here at Durham, and we're doing a lot of things right The presence of Collingwood, Onions and Benkenstein (prior to the latter's injury) has been mutually beneficial, and provides hope for the future amid further expected departures this winter. PC: "It's brilliant for the north east. It shows how strong the club culture is up here, how strong the academy is here at Durham, and we're doing a lot of things right. "We've still got a strong core of good, young players that are going to drive us on for the next 10 years and as long as we keep hold of them and as long as they have the ambition, which I am sure they will, this club will be safe and well." JL: "We might be losing a few senior faces, which will be tough to deal with, but we've managed this year, without letting our performances drop, to bring on young players - in fact, we have increased our performances in some respect." Additional reporting by BBC Newcastle's Martin Emmerson As the bombing by Syrian government forces intensified, the calls for help from those trapped in rebel-territory have grown more desperate. On Tuesday, BBC News published "final goodbyes" from some of those in rebel-held east Aleppo, who used social media to get their messages out. Since then some of them have been able to provide further updates, despite their worst fears, even as the situation for those in the besieged territory remains unclear. Lina, an activist tweeting from the city, made this desperate plea: "Humans all over the world, don't sleep! You can do something, protest now! Stop the genocide". She posted this powerful farewell video message on Monday: Update 14 December: Lina Shamy tweeted on Tuesday and Wednesday after the ceasefire was broken. She wrote of "intense shelling" and "the genocide still ongoing". Others appear to have given up hope, posting messages as bombs fall around them. One man says it is the last video he will post. "We are tired of talking, we are tired of speeches. No one listens, no one responds. Here comes the barrel bomb. This is the video's ending." As he signs off, a bomb explodes nearby. And waking up on Tuesday morning, still alive, Monther Etaky writes: "I still here [sic], facing the genocide with my special friends without any comments from the world." But the threat of imminent death is still here. "I hope I could broadcast our live death to you," he says bitterly. Update 14 December: Monther Etaky appeared on BBC Television on Tuesday. During the broadcast, bombs could be heard nearby. Bana Alabed, the seven-year-old girl who has been tweeting from an account managed by her mother, wrote a heart-breaking message on Tuesday morning. "I am talking to the world now live from East #Aleppo. This is my last moment to either live or die." Earlier, she tweeted "Final message. People are dying since last night. I am very surprised I am tweeting right now and still alive." And a few hours later: "My dad is injured now. I am crying." Update 14 December: Bana's mother, Fatemah, tweeted again on Wednesday, asking why the world was silent during intense bombing. It appeared from many messages that Aleppo was under its worst bombardment yet. "It's hell", says a tweet by the White Helmets - a Syrian volunteer group which has been working in East Aleppo - in a harrowing message from late on Monday. "All streets & destroyed buildings are full with dead bodies". Descriptions of the situation in Aleppo all paint Armageddon-like scenes. Abdul Kafi Alhamdo, an English teacher inside one of the remaining rebel-held areas of Aleppo said it felt like "Doomsday" as government forces advanced. "Bombs are everywhere. People are running, they don't know where, just running. People are injured in the streets. No-one can go to help them," he told BBC News. "Some people are under the rubble, no-one can help them. They just leave them under the rubble until they die - these houses as their graves," he said. Update 14 December: Mr Alhamdo was active on social media on Wednesday, saying foreign powers had manipulated events in Aleppo. Some were only able to send the BBC text messages. One father in the city wrote: "Guess it's goodbye. Thanks all who stand for us and pay for us. But it's almost over and they are just hours away of killing us." And another father, whom the BBC has regularly spoken to over the past year, said: "The last message. Thanks for everything. We shared many moments. These are last tweets from an emotional father. Farewell, Aleppo." Big backslaps and high fives to the guys charged with keeping the country's citizens safe. But in Washington this week it has been anything but. The Senate intelligence committee report on the treatment of detainees by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has unleashed a ferocious war of words (yep - even by the quarrelsome standards of this disputatious city). But why so vicious? Well the really big picture is legacy. In 50 years' time when the history books are written and children are sitting at their desks in Duluth, Des Moines or Detroit, and turning to the chapter marked "9/11", what are they going to read? Here are two versions. On 11 September 2001, the United States came under attack from al-Qaeda terrorists, claiming the lives of 3,000 people when planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania - a war on terror was declared, and those responsible were hunted down and detained, and there were no further attacks on US soil. Or: On 11 September 2001, the United States came under attack from al-Qaeda terrorists, claiming the lives of 3,000 people when planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania - a war on terror was declared, but the torture tactics used to hunt down and detain those responsible brought condemnation and America lost its moral authority in the world. Remember Winston Churchill's adage that "history is written by the victors"? This is a battle between Bush-era officials and the Obama administration over which narrative of these events should prevail. A battle between most Democrats, who think that there are NO circumstances EVER when coercive interrogation techniques can be condoned; and most Republicans who say America was under attack, there was intelligence that there could be a second and third wave of attacks and we did whatever we could to prevent that. But is there just a small whiff of hypocrisy here? What if it had been a Democrat in the White House when America came under attack on that dreadful September day. Would the response have been that different? Would different instructions have been given to the CIA? Would the White House have been more concerned about the treatment of detainees than the need to get intelligence from them? I'm sure there were sadists, oddballs and bad people out there. But weren't the overwhelming majority of CIA operatives at that time just driven by one thing - a patriotic duty to keep America safe, by whatever means? And this is where it gets uncomfortable. Of course I can sit here at my keyboard and pronounce that torture can never be justified. It is an absolute. I do totally believe that. But what if a child of mine had been kidnapped, and the police arrest the kidnapper, but say to me, "Well we've got the guy who took your kid, but despite us asking him really politely where he's being kept, he's not telling us... However there are these things called enhanced interrogation techniques - we could give them a go." Would I say no? I'm really not sure. The other thing about this debate that has made me uncomfortable is the demand that the CIA must be publicly accountable for their actions. And few things could have been more public than the lacerating Democratic-led Senate intelligence committee report released on Tuesday. In his press conference on Thursday, CIA director John Brennan stuck to his script - but I thought there was one telling moment when he said, "There's been more than enough transparency over the past couple of days. I think it's over the top." That was the one bit of frustration he allowed himself to show. And if you're him, you can understand why. This is a spy agency, for goodness sake - when we say their agents must be subject to public scrutiny, forgive me, but isn't the nature of espionage that, err, it needs to be secret. Part of what you are doing as a foreign agent is to try to to persuade a citizen from another country to commit treason and hand over his or her nation's secrets. Is that ok? Should a Senate committee codify what can or can't be done? This is not the highways department where the road maintenance programme is under debate. This is national security. Of course there has to be scrutiny - in a democratic nation, those people who work for the government, whether in the highways department or in the most secret corners of the state, must be held to account. But surely there must be a mechanism, a way of doing that so that public servants don't become part of the crude partisan political battle. I just wonder whether in 10 years' time, when my successor is sitting at this desk, whether he or she will be writing a blog on the just-released Republican-led intelligence committee report laying into the drone programme from when President Barack Obama was in the White House. Media playback is not supported on this device The wing, 34, scored in the last move of Wales' 24-18 defeat by Australia in Cardiff and was later in tears during a televised interview. He said: "I couldn't have scripted it any better, really... I managed just to get outside Barnes and cross the line. "It's an incredible feeling scoring a try, but knowing it's your last chance to score, it is just fantastic." Williams' wife Gail brought their young children on to the field after the final whistle and the Osprey took them around the field on a lap of honour. "Gail brought the kids on - Georgie and Carter - and it was fantastic to spend the lap of honour with them," said Williams. Media playback is not supported on this device "They mean the world to me and to have them there was fantastic and I'd just like to thank everyone at the Millennium Stadium that made it happen." He also admitted to being more nervous ahead of his 87th and final Wales appearance than at any time during his career. And after stretching his Wales try-scoring record to 58 in 87 games with that injury-time try, he said: "For me personally I've just been more excited than I've ever been for a game, certainly more nervous. "I found it difficult sleeping last [Friday] night. I was up at 0530-0600 and that hasn't happened to me for a while, certainly not in a rugby match sense. "But I knew there were a lot of eyes on me, but I didn't want the game to be about me. "I wanted it to be about Wales winning and that was very difficult to come away from. Media playback is not supported on this device "But it's been a great week with the guys and knowing it's the last week with the boys, I've had a great time. "I can't get over it. The crowd's been fantastic and it has been from the first moment I played for Wales and [it was] certainly no different today - probably I've never sensed or felt anything like that in my life. "And as you can see, it has been very emotional. "I don't usually cry, but I feel like a blubbering idiot sometimes and I just couldn't stop just now. "But it's all down to the fans and having my friends and family here has just been a fantastic occasion." Even a defeat to end his career could not dim Williams' pride at the effort of his team-mates during a game in which the Wallabies profited after full-back Leigh Halfpenny was sin-binned. "We were under the cosh from the start, but we were playing one of the best teams in the world and the effort was there. "We found it really difficult when we were down to 14 men, but we never gave up and that's the kind of spirit I like to see in this Welsh side." US Defence Secretary Ash Carter said two members of the armed services and two contractors had died in the attack. A further 16 US service members and one Polish soldier were injured, he added. The Taliban said one of their fighters had carried out the attack, a major security breach in one of the best protected places in Afghanistan. Bagram has been targeted by militants in the past but this is the first time a bomb has exploded inside the base. Just north of the capital Kabul, it has been used as the main military base and airfield by the US-led forces and Nato over the past 14 years. A local government spokesman said the attacker had entered the base early in the morning and was among Afghan labourers reporting for duty when he detonated his vest. Mr Carter said he was "deeply saddened" by the US casualties and promised an investigation. "Force protection is always a top priority for us in Afghanistan, and we will investigate this tragedy to determine any steps we can take to improve it," he said. Bagram is a heavily guarded military base with many layers of security and protection. The outermost layer is guarded by Afghan forces and second and more inner layers of security are guarded by US forces. High walls, security cameras, and watch towers on the outer perimeters and inside the base are just some of its formidable security measures. A surveillance balloon also watches the entire area. Every person entering the base is searched, in many cases escorted, and must have a pre-arranged meeting with someone inside. The security measures serve not only to protect military personnel on the base, but also to safeguard expensive state-of-the-art military tools, including fighter jets and unmanned aerial technology. US presidents visiting the country fly into Bagram, one of the most heavily guarded places in Afghanistan, because it is seen as more secure than landing in Kabul. General John W Nicholson, US Army commander in Afghanistan, said in a statement: ''[To] the family and friends of those wounded in today's attack, let me assure you they are receiving the best care possible, and we will keep them in our thoughts today." He said the incident was being investigated. Nato Secretary General expressed his condolences on Twitter: Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the attack had been planned over four months. Last December, a Taliban suicide bomber riding a motorbike killed six US soldiers in a village near Bagram in one of last year's deadliest attacks on foreign troops. The attack on Bagram comes just a day after the German consulate in the city of Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan was hit by a Taliban suicide bomb blast that killed six civilians and wounded some 120 others. The Taliban said on Friday that those attacks were carried out in retaliation for a recent coalition air strike in Kunduz which reportedly killed some 30 civilians. Correspondents say the Taliban are stepping up their attacks before the onset of winter. Meanwhile, MPs in the Afghan parliament have dismissed the minister of foreign affairs, public works and social affairs for failing to spend development money allocated to them. A BBC correspondent in Kabul says if the money is not spent, it will have to be refunded to the foreign donors. Mr Ghani's national unity government has been plagued by infighting since it was formed in 2014. Ministers in Afghanistan are nominated by the president, and several more are due to face confidence votes by MPs. Many forces were not "seeking out intelligence on corruption proactively", Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary found. But it said there was no evidence of "endemic" corruption. And it added that most officers and staff were "honest and professional". In the report, entitled Integrity Matters, HMIC said systems for handling corruption "varied considerably" between forces, and that too few forces were able to identify and analyse the threats and take proactive steps to catch corrupt officers. The inspectors also raised concerns that anti-corruption investigators were not using their full powers - such as carrying out searches and drug tests - and as a result were missing opportunities to gather evidence. The report also suggested it was "impossible" to know the extent of corruption as there was no agreed definition of the term. To identify corruption, the report therefore complied data on behaviours "most likely" to involve corruption: drug-related offences, bribery, theft, sexual misconduct and unauthorised information disclosure. HMIC raised concerns about the fact that fewer than a third of the 3,070 investigations into allegations in these categories in the 12 months up to March 2014 resulted in "management action", written warnings, dismissals or resignations. HM Inspector of Constabulary Mike Cunningham told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that one reason for cases being dropped was that they were discovered to be "unfounded or malicious". But he added: "We cannot rule out that some of those allegations have not been properly inquired into or investigated." By Danny Shaw, BBC home affairs correspondent The more you look for it, the more you'll find it - that's the key message on police corruption from this 226-page report. And some forces aren't looking hard enough - they're failing to identify the threats, develop intelligence and use their full powers to root out corrupt officers. As the report says, it may partly be down to a lack of resources and specialist capability: this is difficult work, which sometimes involves using the most sophisticated covert techniques against colleagues. But is it also because some officers lack the motivation to investigate their own? The report doesn't answer that. But it does suggest that ethical standards remain high - so high in fact that some beat officers refuse to accept cups of tea from members of the public in case their acceptance of hospitality is misinterpreted. The report, rightly, says that's going too far. Mr Cunningham said police forces had made "great strides" in tackling misconduct and corruption, and they must now "focus on proactive prevention work". He said senior officers were demonstrating "commitment" to stopping corruption, and officers were "quick to tell us that they see corrupt colleagues as a betrayal of the vast majority who are honourable, decent and hard-working". He added: "We know only too well that the corrosive nature of corruption means that even a single case can be damaging to public confidence." The Inspectorate also said that, while more than three quarters of the 17,200 officers surveyed felt they were encouraged to challenge unethical behaviour, only "just over half" said they trusted the confidentiality of internal reporting systems. The report, commissioned by Home Secretary Theresa May, found the majority of forces had "maintained or increased staffing levels" in anti-corruption units despite budget cuts. The College of Policing said its code of ethics was being adopted by all forces and it was exploring how counter-corruption training could be expanded. The college's chief executive, Chief Constable Alex Marshall, added: "Work has already begun to provide guidance to forces for best practice in managing whistleblowing. "This should increase confidence among officers that their force will know how to deal with any disclosure appropriately." Coleman's current contract expires after Euro 2016 and the former defender says he and the Football Association of Wales are "apart" on terms over a fresh deal. Reading full-back Gunter says Coleman, 45, is the best manager he has ever worked under. "I would be gutted if he was not to stay," Gunter told BBC Wales Sport. "It would make no sense, because it's the first time we've qualified in however many attempts we've had. "If you were to ask any of the 23 players in the squad, I think every single one would say the exact same thing. "I would be amazed if the FAW were not doing every single thing possible to sort that contract out." Coleman succeeded the late Gary Speed in January 2012 and, in qualifying for Euro 2016, guided his country to their first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup. Gunter revealed the respect for the former Crystal Palace and Blackburn Rovers player in the Wales dressing room helps to inspire the side. "There is a feeling of wanting to do well for yourself, and for the country, but also because he's the manager," Gunter told BBC Wales Sport. "What he's done, if you actually step back and think about what he has done in his time as manager, it is ridiculous. "Yes, he's had a good squad to work with and a really talented group of players, but from where we've come in such a short space of time and the whole feeling around the national team, to what it is today, is unbelievable. "I have never played in a squad that has the respect for the manager as much as that. "I've played in squads where the whole squad has been behind the manager, but not to the extent this squad has for this manager. It is crazy really." Former national team boss Mark Hughes has said the Football Association of Wales have to "be careful" not to lose manager Chris Coleman after Euro 2016. Gunter is worried momentum could be lost in the long term if Coleman was allowed to depart ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. "We want to go to the Euros and do really well, but then take it on, because we've got a World Cup to qualify for," Gunter said. "We don't want to be in a situation where we are looking back in two years and saying 'remember when we were preparing for the Euros and how good it was?' and we are back to where we were." Oaklee Trinity and Ulidia housing associations are to become a new 10,000-home landlord, with property assets of £656m. It will be called CHOICE Housing Ireland, employing almost 300 staff. The security of tenancies and rents "should not be affected as a result of the merger," a statement read. "CHOICE Housing Ireland is already committed to building 500 new social and affordable homes in Northern Ireland, which represents more than a third of the government's target new builds." The merger had been mooted since last year and will complete in the "near future". Tony Kennedy, the chairman of Ulidia, said: "We are not-for-profit organisations and the operational savings gained from the merger will be used to improve our services to tenants and build more homes." Relatives of those killed by the IRA, including in the Enniskillen and Claudy bombs, took part in the service. Prayers were said by Church of Ireland, Presbyterian and Methodist ministers. A minute's silence was held beside a memorial in the grounds of Holy Trinity Church of Ireland as a mark of respect for victims of the IRA. David Temple, whose 16-year-old brother William was killed in the Claudy bombing in July 1972, said Martin McGuinness would "go to his grave without telling these victims the truth of what happened". He said he wanted to send his condolences to the McGuinness family but "Claudy hasn't gone away. We will still fight and look for justice for Claudy". Church of Ireland minister Rev. Alan Irwin's father and uncle were killed by the IRA. He said he did not think the service was insensitive to those mourning Martin McGuinness today. "I don't believe it's insensitive to what's going on. I think we had to provide something for the innocent victims," he said. Presbyterian Minister Rev. Rodney Beacom said the service was "not insensitive in any way, shape, or form". "We're here to provide pastoral care for those folk who are hurting, and who are living day and daily for all of their lives with the hurt and pain of terrorism, so we have a duty and indeed a responsibility to be here today," he added. The event was organised by the South East Fermanagh Foundation which supports victims and survivors of paramilitary violence. Spokesman for the group Kenny Donaldson said that in the days since Mr McGuinness's death "survivors of IRA terrorism have been expressing feelings of being further cheated" of the prospect of learning more from the former IRA leader about what had happened to their loved ones. "Martin McGuinness will now meet his Maker and unlike on this earth, he won't be able to dodge accountability citing the IRA's Green Book or any other document. Each and every one of us faces the same destiny," said Mr Donaldson. He headed the opener in a first half completely dominated by the hosts. The Scots rode their luck in the first half but lifted their game after the break and levelled through Ikechi Anya. But poor defending allowed Muller to fire in from close range to seal a narrow win, with Charlie Mulgrew sent off in stoppage time for the visitors. Media playback is not supported on this device The result is no disgrace and nor was the Scots' performance after half-time, when they seemed to find a belief that they could hurt their illustrious opponents. And so they did when Sunderland's Steven Fletcher came off the bench and released winger Anya with a wonderful pass. The Watford player, racing from the halfway line, still had plenty to do but as he approached Manuel Neuer's goal he showed terrific composure to slide the ball into the net. That cancelled out Muller's early opener, which arrived despite two earlier warnings. The German forward had twice got his head to dangerous crosses - the first a bad miss, the second cleared to safety - before the third landed in David Marshall's net. Anya - not for the first time - afforded midfielder Sebastian Rudy far too much time and space on the German right and his measured cross found Muller climbing between Alan Hutton and Russell Martin to loop a header over the keeper. If the Scots defended that one poorly, the loss of the second was calamitous. A corner from the right was not cleared and the ball fell kindly to Muller who gleefully popped the ball past the Scotland number one after 18 minutes. Marshall had kept his side in the game with a string of terrific saves, with Marco Reus a particular goal threat. Germany's front four - Reus, Muller, Andre Schurrle and Mario Gotze - were irresistible at times, combining seemingly effortlessly and leaving the Scots defenders bamboozled by their movement. Nonetheless, there were occasional glimpses of Neuer's goal for the visitors, Barry Bannan seeing an early shot deflected just wide and Anya passing up two good opportunities, one when Neuer was yards out of his penalty area but the winger took a heavy touch and the chance was gone. Scotland might have had an equaliser in the opening moments of the second period at the end of a superb, penetrating run down the right by Alan Hutton. He picked out Steven Naismith, who drifted away from two defenders before unleashing a low shot past Neuer but agonisingly a matter of inches wide of the post. Marshall was twice made to work by Gotze either side of Muller's second and there could have been a hat-trick for Muller himself, only for the post to deny him just after Mulgrew was red carded for a second bookable offence - kicking the ball away. And though the outcome was a fair one on the balance of play, Scotland did cause numerous problems for a shaky German defence and can take confidence from the way they matched the World Cup winners after the interval. The 49-year-old was airlifted to hospital from Surbiton Road, Newton Heath with 70% burns after the attack on Monday. Officers are trying to trace Stephen Archer, 50, of Openshaw, who they say could still be a danger to the public. Police say they are treating the incident as attempted murder and have warned people not to approach him. Supt Arif Nawaz, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "This is a horrific incident and I cannot imagine what the victim is going through. He added: "We have reason to believe Stephen could be carrying several bottles of petrol in his backpack and a man was seen fitting his description cycling away from the scene. "Please do not approach Stephen, but contact police as a matter of urgency by calling 999." The victim is in a critical condition in hospital. A 19-year-old woman escaped uninjured from an upstairs window of the house, with help from neighbours during the attack at 09:45 GMT on Monday. Supt Nawaz said that they were doing everything possible to find Stephen Archer who they believe may have links to Openshaw, where he lives, and the Marple and Romiley areas. Three fire engines dealt with the blaze and several routes around Surbiton Road were closed off. The inaugural Champions League of Darts will be staged in Cardiff on Saturday and Sunday, with the PDC's eight leading players competing for a £100,000 first prize. Former BDO (British Darts Organisation) world champion Mark Webster and 2010 PDC Players Championship winner Paul Nicholson will be part of BBC Sport's commentary team in Cardiff. Webster: "Most people aren't used to seeing the PDC on the BBC and that's why it's a groundbreaking event. "The PDC has played on all sorts of stations but now we're on the BBC and we're showcasing the top eight players in the world. It's going to be a great event." Nicholson: "It's the best party in town. We've had stag parties going to arenas in Germany and all over the UK with the Premier League as well. "As a person watching on television, you get a really good insight from commentators, ex-players and current players. "With the BBC this week, you're going to get a lot more analysis with myself, Mark and Alan Warriner-Little. I feel we'll go more in-depth to the game than ever before." Media playback is not supported on this device The Champions League of Darts will be contested by the leading eight players in the PDC's Order of Merit: The eight players have been split into two groups of four for the round-robin stage. The top two from each group after three matches will progress to the semi-finals. The following group matches are scheduled for Saturday's afternoon session (13:15 BST): Group A: Taylor v Wright, Van Gerwen v Thornton Group B: Anderson v Smith, Lewis v Wade The winners of those games will face each other later on Saturday (18:30 BST), with the remaining group fixtures played on Sunday (14:00 BST). The semi-finals and final will take place during Sunday's evening session (18:30 BST). BBC Sport's Phil Cartwright: "World number one Van Gerwen is, without doubt, the player to beat given his recent record in PDC majors. "He is in supreme form too, having won all three Players Championship events in the lead-up to this tournament and hit two nine-darters along the way. "Anderson and Lewis, who contested the World Championship final in January, are obvious challengers for the title, and you can never discount 16-time world champion Taylor from contending at the business end of any big event. "They are the current 'big four' in darts. But Wright, Wade, Smith and Thornton are all more than capable of beating the best in the world on their day and will fancy their chances of springing a surprise."

But there are "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" in record-keeping that pre-dated her tenure, it said. Mrs Clinton said the report showed she was no different from her predecessors. "Contrary to the false theories advanced for some time now, the report notes that her use of personal email was known to officials within the department during her tenure," said a statement from the campaign. It added that there was no evidence of any successful breach of her server. The FBI is also investigating whether there was a security breach and but has not yet interviewed her. She has denied handling any classified information in her private emails. The Clinton email story has been at a steady drip for over a year now, as new revelations are unearthed and her electronic correspondence is released. This critical State Department report is bigger than that - more akin to a deluge of bad news for the candidate. It will have a political toll, but it may be the first step in her putting the issue behind her. It comes when she is least politically vulnerable, near the end of a primary campaign she comfortably leads and before July's political conventions. Mrs Clinton's critics will point to the findings that she did not get permission from the State Department to set up her email server, her recordkeeping was inadequate, the information she disclosed was incomplete, and she and her aides were not always co-operative in the investigation. The Clinton campaign, on the other hand, has been quick to point out that the actions of previous secretaries of state were also highlighted in the report - although the inspector general noted that the guidelines were more detailed by the time Mrs Clinton took office. She was was also not directly told by the State Department to stop using her system. With this report now public, the last remaining key piece of the story is also the potentially most damaging - the FBI's investigation into whether her handling of classified information constituted criminal conduct. Although early indications are that it did not, an adverse ruling there would amount to a flood that could sweep away her presidential hopes. The likely Democratic presidential nominee's use of private email has been a talking point in the election, with critics saying Mrs Clinton believes she is above the law. Mrs Clinton's campaign says it showed that her practices were consistent with those of other secretaries of state who "also used personal email" and she was "not unique" in doing it. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said that the report makes clear that the agency could have done a better job preserving emails and records, going back several administrations. More than 7,000 gallons (31,800 litres) of oil have been mopped from the spill - a fraction of the 20,000 gallons officials say spilled into the sea after a pipe burst on Tuesday. Federal officials are to excavate the pipe to find clues to how it ruptured. The company responsible for the pipeline has publicly apologised. Up to 105,000 gallons spilled over a period of three hours on Tuesday - the majority of the oil remained on land. More than 300 federal, state and local responders are now on the scene. California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency on Wednesday to help the state "quickly mobilise all available resources". "We will do everything necessary to protect California's coastline," he added. State and local prosecutors are investigating the incident to see if criminal charges could be brought or if there are grounds for civil liability. It is estimated about 21,000 gallons of oil have reached the ocean, forming a nine-mile (15km) slick. and it remains unclear how long the clean-up process will take or what it will cost. "We deeply, deeply regret that this incident has occurred at all," Plains All American Pipeline LP Chairman and CEO Greg Armstrong said, apologising. Mr Armstrong vowed that his company "will remain here until everything has been restored to normal". Emergency workers have been fanning out across Refugio State Beach to remove oil that is stuck to sand and rocks. Officials are pleading with members of the public that wish to volunteer to go through official channels, because of the health risks that working around the oil can present. The 24-inch pipe was built in 1991 and had been tested a few weeks ago, company officials said. Environmentalists are concerned that the oil may harm wildlife including birds and whales, with seals, sea lions and whales also migrating north through the area. "It smells like what they use to pave the roads," tourist Fan Yang told the Associated Press news agency. "I'm sad for the birds, if they lose their habitat." A wildlife official said that five oiled pelicans are now being treated at a wildlife facility, and that a number of dead marine animals have been recovered. The spill happened on the same stretch of beach as a 1969 spill - one that is credited with starting the American environmental movement. In that incident, several hundred thousand gallons spewed from a blowout on an oil platform, resulting in the death of thousands of seabirds and marine mammals. The alarm was first raised on Tuesday when authorities received reports of a foul smell near Refugio State Beach around midday (04:00 GMT). Emergency responders found a half-mile slick in the ocean and traced the origin to a ruptured onshore pipeline spewing oil into a rainwater drain which ran to the ocean. The pipeline was shut off about three hours later. Mr Shalom, who is also stepping down from his position as deputy prime minister, said he was doing so to spare his family any more suffering. The attorney-general has ordered a probe into claims made against Mr Shalom by several women. Mr Shalom has denied any wrongdoing. Israel has seen several similar high-profile cases in recent years. The police anti-fraud chief is under investigation for sexual misconduct and last month another MP in the governing coalition, Yinon Magal, resigned amid sexual harassment allegations. In 2011 the former President Moshe Katsav began a seven-year jail sentence for rape. Some media reports suggest that Mr Shalom's replacement in the Israeli parliament could be Amir Ohana, who would become the first openly gay MP from the right-wing Likud party. In total, 2,750 people have expressed an interest in buying empty terraced properties in the Picton area. The scheme, which was started by Mayor Joe Anderson in 2013, aims to regenerate deprived parts of the city and help the economy. In the successful first tranche, 20 homes were sold around Granby Four Streets and Arnside Road. Tony Mousdale, empty homes manager of Liverpool City Council, told the BBC: "All the plumbing and the electrics and fixtures and fittings have been ripped out - so it is pretty much a shell. "It's a blank canvas and people can put their own stamp on it." Garrick Street, off Smithdown Road, is one of nine roads in Picton to be released for sale. A total of 250 applicants who were not successful in the last project were contacted by the local authority before the scheme was reopened to the general public. The applicants will be contacted by the end of the month to let them know about the next stage in the process. Mr Mousdale said some homes are "worse than others" with old wallpaper and tiles around the fireplaces and no kitchens or bathrooms. To be eligible for the £1 homes, applicants must have lived or worked in Liverpool, be employed and be first-time buyers. Those with children and a good credit history also have priority and must "demonstrate they have the resources to undertake the cost of the refurbishment work". Mr Mousdale acknowledged it was "very much" a challenge for owners, adding: "The appeal is they can put their own stamp on it." Some of the properties have been empty for at least 10 to 15 years. If it's not some politician causing a scandal, or a celebrity mouthing off then we're being told there's not enough money, or that everything we eat is going to shorten out lives. But just occasionally a news item comes to light that puts a smile on our face or even makes us chuckle. So let's celebrate the stories - and the people - who gave us a laugh in 2014. A cash machine outside Tesco Express in Aberystwyth promised customers "free erections" after a translation error. Above the ATM at the new store in west Wales it said "codiad am ddim" which would translate colloquially as "free erections." The supermarket soon took the sign down and a spokesperson thanked "everyone who pointed out the mistake". A man had to be rescued by firefighters in Germany after becoming stuck inside a stone vagina. The man, who was said to be an American exchange student, got wedged in the statue at Tubingen University after climbing in as part of a dare. According to German newspaper Schwäbisches Tagblatt, five emergency service vehicles and 22 firemen had to help free the man. A BBC photo of a men's cubicle with twin toilets at a Sochi Olympics venue caused a Twitter storm in Russia. The picture from the Biathlon Centre tweeted by Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg caused opposition leader Alexei Navalny to ask how the budget for the games, said to be $50bn (£30bn; 1,700bn roubles), had been spent. Other commentators joked about Russia's controversial law on "gay propaganda", which led to calls from international campaigners to boycott February's games. An American tourist found himself locked inside a London Waterstones bookshop for two hours after it closed while he was still browsing. Police were called after David Willis, from Texas, let people know of his situation on Twitter and someone came to let him out. When he was finally released, he tweeted: "I'm free." Branch manager Matt Atkins said they were "mortified". At the 2014 Oscar ceremony, John Travolta appeared to welcome Idina Menzel on stage, but seemed to say the name "Adele Dazeem". In a later statement, the actor said: "I've been beating myself up all day. Then I thought, 'What would Idina Menzel say?' "She'd say, 'Let it go, let it go!' Idina is incredibly talented and I am so happy Frozen took home two Oscars Sunday night!" You would be forgiven for having thought for your entire life that Hello Kitty was a cat. But in August it became common knowledge that she is, in fact, a British school kid called Kitty White and she lives just outside London (although no-one is saying exactly where). Christine R Yano, an anthropologist from the University of Hawaii, said a lot of people didn't know Kitty was really a person and that many of her fans who were aware "don't care". A paralysed groom achieved his goal of walking at his wedding in the US, thanks to a robotic "exoskeleton". Matt Ficarra was paralysed from the chest down in 2011 after breaking his neck in a boating accident. After the couple said their vows, he walked down the aisle with his bride, Jordan Basile. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Three second-half goals were enough to secure a first win in 11 League Two games for the U's. The only serious save of an uneventful first period was made by Cheltenham's Russell Griffiths, who kept out a left-footed effort from Craig Slater in the fourth minute. But former Kilmarnock midfielder Slater shot low past Griffiths three minutes into the second half after evading several challenges in the box, finding the bottom-right corner. The visitors doubled their lead in the 65th minute when Kurtis Guthrie set up Brennan Dickenson, who fired a powerful shot into the net from 14 yards. And Tom Eastman added the third to put the result beyond any doubt, nodding Owen Garvan's corner home from close range three minutes later. The home side's night went from bad to worse when Harry Pell was sent off in the 87th minute for simulation after going down in the box in search of a penalty. Colchester gave a start to defender George Elokobi after he was recalled from his loan spell at National League side Braintree Town.

Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to attend and police asked party-goers to be aware of safety threats, but not be alarmed. The main street party was sold out last year and other events around this year's street party have sold out. A midnight fireworks display will welcome in 2016, with the traditional mass rendition of Auld Lang Syne to follow. For safety reasons, Calton Hill will be closed off to people hoping to see the fireworks display at midnight. Police Scotland said they were being "vigilant" over the current severe terrorism threat to the UK - but there was no specific threat to Scotland or Hogmanay.

Liam McGerrigan, 27, from the city, was pronounced dead at the scene after officers were called to Holyhead Road at about 22:10 BST on Thursday. He had been stabbed in the chest. A 25-year-old Coventry man has been arrested in the Devon area. West Midlands Police have been granted more time to question a 33-year-old man. The 36-hour extension runs until Monday afternoon, the force said. Detectives believe Mr McGerrigan staggered to Holyhead Road near the junction with Northumberland Road where he collapsed. As well as Swansea, a "fleet" of five other lagoons around the coast of Wales, Somerset and Cumbria are envisaged, generating enough power for 30% of the UK's homes. Mr Hendry is keen to see how the Swansea lagoon works first before embarking on a far bigger scheme. He also wants to see competitive tendering for future projects "to deliver the most substantial cost reductions", similar to the nuclear industry. But he was equally keen to emphasise that tidal lagoons "at scale" could deliver low carbon power in a way that is very competitive with other low carbon sources. TLP is already looking beyond Swansea. So what might this look like - and what does it involve? CARDIFF The plans for a lagoon in Cardiff have already been submitted to planning officials. Cardiff council, although it would not make the decision on the plans, has been told the lagoon could create 1,000 permanent jobs and be of "international significance". A full consent order is expected to be made in 2018. It aims to take advantage of the sheer power of the Severn estuary and harness the second highest tidal range in the world. The Cardiff project is much bigger than Swansea and would be the first full scale lagoon. In fact the plans are for it to be so large - a potential installed capacity of around 3GW - that it would generate enough electricity for every home in Wales. Its breakwater wall would be twice the length of Swansea's, running to 11 miles (18km). It would be expected to provide work for 3,000 construction workers with the potential, according to TLP, to sustain 8,000 jobs in the supply chain. The company argues that because the Cardiff project is so much bigger, the electricity generated would be the cheapest electricity of all the new power stations in the UK. COLWYN BAY Tidal Lagoon Power says that the Colwyn Bay project would not just generate electricity but would also protect the north Wales coast from flooding. Winter storms in 2013/14 significantly damaged the coastline and TLP argues that a Colwyn Bay tidal lagoon would act as protection to people living along the north Wales coast. NEWPORT Plans for the Newport lagoon are at a relatively early stage. If given the go-ahead it would include conservation and restocking programmes and generate enough electricity for 500,00 homes. As with the other sites, TLP has been holding numerous meetings with the local community. The total cost could be £7bn. Until now, while work has continued on these projects, the big question was whether the UK government would support this new way of generating clean energy? BRIDGWATER BAY The company is keen to emphasise the environmental sensitivities here, as well as saying that more detailed work is still needed. It said the lagoon would benefit tourism, local business and contribute to flood management from storms and tidal surges. WEST CUMBRIA There has already been a consultation with business, conservation groups an and residents about what would be a "full-scale" lagoon north of Workington. Emphasising economic benefits and offering more protection against coastal erosion, the West Cumbria project is called a "significant and exciting addition" to the network of planned lagoons. Reaction: 'End dithering on project' Until now it has often been said that nuclear power produces the most reliable and cheapest electricity. Mr Hendry said harnessing the power from the tides through lagoons could change that, as the cost would be spread over 120 years, making lagoons cheaper. He said in effect the lagoons would be producing electricity free of subsidy for 30 years. Unlike wind power, the amount of electricity generated by the lagoons would be entirely predicable, he added. The recommendations have an element of compromise in them in response to concerns from environmental groups. Addressing concerns that the Swansea lagoon could damage the marine ecosystem, Mr Hendry has recommended that if larger lagoons are built, they still need a go-ahead from the UK government. There should then be a high level of on-going monitoring of environmental impacts. Pause for reflection Mr Hendry recommended a "period of separation" - he told BBC Wales perhaps a year or two - between the Swansea pathfinder and the bigger projects. "The pathfinder should be commissioned and be operational for a reasonable period before financial close is reached on the first larger-scale project," he said. "The pause would allow in-depth monitoring to be carried out and research to be conducted to address issues as they arise." The lawsuit, filed in a New York court, seeks compensation and punitive damages for the deaths of Alexander Pinczowski, 29, and Nohemi Gonzalez, 26. Twitter has not commented on the case. In March 2016, 32 people were killed in the Brussels attacks. The November 2015 attacks in Paris left 130 people dead. Islamic State (IS) militants have claimed responsibility for the assaults. The 86-page lawsuit was filed last week by Mr Pinczowski's widow Anne Cameron Cain and Ms Gonzalez's mother Beatriz Gonzalez as well as her step-father and brothers. Mr Pinczowski, who was in Brussels on a business trip last March, was killed when a blast ripped through the check-in area of the airport in the Belgian capital. Ms Gonzalez, a US student in Paris on a study-abroad programme in 2015, died when gunmen opened fire at the La Belle Equipe cafe in the French capital. The families accuse social media company Twitter of having "knowingly provided material support and resources to IS in the form of Twitter's online social network platform and communication services". The plaintiffs allege that IS militants have "used and relied on Twitter's online social network platform and communications services as among its most important tools to facilitate and carry out its terrorist activity", including the attacks in Brussels and Paris. The lawsuit says that Twitter has continued to provide such resources "despite receiving numerous complaints and widespread media and other attention for providing its online social media platform and communications services to IS". Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, an Israeli-based attorney for the plaintiffs, said that "this is the first lawsuit to document Twitter's key role in the rise of IS to become the most feared terrorist organisation in the world". "Among social media platforms, Twitter has most brazenly refused to cut off its services to terrorists, taking the position that 'the tweets must flow' even if it means assisting in mass murders," the attorney said in a statement. Twitter has so far made no public comments on the issue. In February 2016, the US-based company said it had suspended more than 125,000 accounts since mid-2015 "for threatening or promoting terrorist acts". The aid agency will operate a 40m ship, the MY Phoenix, from May to October, when thousands more people are expected to attempt the perilous journey. It will be a part replacement for Mare Nostrum, which ended in November. MSF has rejected UK government claims that such services encourage more people-smuggling ships. Its small operation, to be run with the Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), will see the Phoenix equipped with a medical team including two doctors and a nurse as well as high-speed inflatable boats and surveillance drones. MSF expects that most of the migrants it rescues will be taken to Italian shores. The Italian navy's search and rescue mission, Mare Nostrum, was abandoned last year after some EU members said they could not afford to fund it. Last year an estimated 3,400 migrants, mostly from Africa, died while trying to make the treacherous crossing into Europe. MSF says the death toll is likely to be even higher this year as there is less assistance available to boats in distress, while thousands of people continue to flee conflicts in the Middle East and Africa. Arjan Hehenkamp, MSF's general director, told the BBC the situation was "dire". "Europe has turned its back on people fleeing some of the worst humanitarian crises of our time. "Ignoring this situation will not make it go away." The Migrant Offshore Aid Station was set up by a Maltese family - the Catrambones - who have spent millions of euros to save migrants in danger of drowning at sea. They say their 60-day mission, using the Phoenix, helped to save around 3,000 people in 2014. The decision to end Mare Nostrum sparked warnings that it would lead to more deaths. But other European countries, including the UK, said a rescue service could encourage more migrants. The EU now runs a border control operation, called Triton, which only operates close to Europe's coast and has fewer ships. Needing to score at least three unanswered away goals after a 3-1 defeat at home, they went ahead through Olivier Giroud's close-range finish. A lively Danny Welbeck went close to doubling the lead before half-time. But despite Aaron Ramsey coming off the bench to score late on, with Giroud going close again, Monaco held on. It was a heartbreaking end to Arsenal's European campaign as they came agonisingly close to scoring the third away goal they needed to progress, a feat never before achieved in the Champions League era. All over the pitch Arsene Wenger's side were vastly improved from the defeat at Emirates Stadium last month and they ensured that Monaco conceded their first Champions League goals at the Stade Louis II this season. Arguably, though, the Gunners lost this tie in the first leg through their defensive fragility, where they conceded a crucial third goal in the 90th minute. And although they continued their fine form with an eighth win from nine games, that blip in the first leg was enough to ensure Monaco reached the quarter-finals for the first time since 2004. They join holders Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain, Porto and Atletico Madrid in Friday's draw. Giroud was among those who were widely mocked in the first game, but after the Gunners withstood early pressure, the French striker was a key influence and combined cleverly alongside the impressive Welbeck. After he had headed just wide and Laurent Koscielny turned a free-kick onto the Monaco crossbar but was wrongly ruled offside, the visitors established control and could have been at least two goals ahead before the break. Giroud gave Wenger's side the lead when he latched onto Welbeck's through ball and managed to steer his shot in at the near post after Danijel Subasic had blocked his first effort. Two minutes later Welbeck was unlucky not to join him on the scoresheet when his rasping drive was blocked by the prostrate Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour. With Welbeck and Alexis Sanchez providing pace and width up front, Arsenal continued to cause problems for the Ligue 1 side as Mesut Ozil went close with a free-kick and flashed another effort wide. But the hosts, who had one more day's rest than their opponents, regained their composure around the 60-minute mark and caused some nervy moments in the Arsenal defence before Wenger brought on Ramsey and Theo Walcott in search of a second goal. It paid dividends as the substitutes combined for Arsenal's second with 11 minutes left, Walcott striking the post from a left-wing cross before Ramsey got on the end of Layvin Kurzawa's poor clearance. Giroud almost tucked in at the back post from a free-kick but perhaps he was guilty in putting off the better-placed Sanchez. In the end, Arsenal were left frustrated and repeated the same results in their two-legged defeat by Bayern Munich two years ago. This, though, will be harder to swallow.

Referee: Joe Cobb "I cannot comment on a video that I've never seen or that does not exist," he told reporters. Mr Ford's remarks came a week after the Toronto Star newspaper and US news website Gawker reported they had viewed a video in which he smoked the drug. "I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict," he said. He accused the media of judging him without evidence. Mr Ford said the previous week had "not been an easy one". "It has taken a great toll on my family and my friends and the great people of Toronto," he said. The mayor's first extended remarks on the rumours that have roiled politics in Canada's largest city came after senior aides pressured him to address the allegations. "He would have been a lot better off had he made this statement earlier in the week but for whatever reason he did not," Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday, an ally of Mr Ford, told the Associated Press after Mr Ford's news conference. The video has not been released publicly and has not been verified. The Toronto Star newspaper and Gawker report it was shot by men who claimed they sold crack cocaine to the mayor. Gawker has launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise $200,000 (£140,000) to buy it, though it now says it has lost contact with the people in possession of the footage. On Wednesday, the mayor was removed as volunteer head coach of a high school football team, the Don Bosco Eagles, by the Toronto Catholic District School Board. No explanation was given. And the following day the mayor sacked his chief of staff, Mark Towhey, but did not say why. Afterwards, Mr Towhey said he had not resigned. Craig Perkins had initially denied being involved in the attacks in Bournemouth's Boundary Road in September and December of last year. But on Wednesday at Bournemouth Crown Court he pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault. The 29-year-old, of Victoria Park Road, Bournemouth, has been remanded in custody and will be sentenced on 5 May. Police said the victims were both in their 20s - the first was assaulted on Tuesday 13 September and the second attack happened on Thursday 24 November. Perkins was arrested on 14 December. Det Ch Insp Sarah Derbyshire, of Dorset Police's major crime investigation team, said: "Stranger sex attacks such as these are very rare in Dorset and we are committed toward investigating them thoroughly and bringing the offender to justice. "The victims in this case have been updated about Perkins' guilty pleas and I would like to pay tribute to them for having the confidence to report these offences to Dorset Police and the assistance they have given to the investigation team. "I would also like to thank those members of the public who went to the victims' aid at the time of the incidents and helped officers with their investigations." The man entered the fast-food restaurant in the Showcase Leisure Park at about 02:19 and demanded cash from a female worker. He made threats to staff before going behind the counter and stealing a till. Police said it was found in nearby Sharp Avenue at about 04:50 and have appealed for witnesses to come forward. Detectives said the suspect was described as being about 6ft tall and of medium build. He was wearing dark trainers, grey jogging bottoms and a grey hooded top with a black jacket over it. He also had a checked brown and cream scarf covering his face. Following the robbery, the man made off on foot in the direction of Hollywood bowl and Viewfield Road. Police later received a report of people acting suspiciously at waste ground near Sharp Avenue. Officers attended and the till was recovered. Det Sgt David Lamont, of Coatbridge CID, said: "This was a particularly terrifying incident for staff and customers involved. "Thankfully no one was injured however the staff have all been left extremely distressed." A statement from the administrators blamed a "challenging" retail market and cash flow difficulties. The company, which has 100 standalone stores and is stocked in a further 50, has struggled to compete and has seen its sales fall. Austin Reed began in 1900 as a tailor and counted Winston Churchill as a customer. "Austin Reed is a well-regarded and iconic brand," said Peter Saville, one of the newly appointed administrators. "We are confident that it is an attractive proposition for a range of potential buyers." The menswear brand is the second UK retailer to enter administration in as many days, following the failure of BHS. But retail analysts say the firm has failed to keep pace with its competitors. "The company's offer has been inconsistent, the ranges have been poor and the stores have looked rather tired," said Rupert Eastell, head of retail at business advisers RSM. "Perhaps most disappointingly, the website is not good enough by today's' standards." Austin Reed was bought just last week by the distressed retail specialists Alteri Investors, who purchased the struggling firm for an undisclosed sum. The new owners had already loaned the company £6m last year to improve its online operations and purchase new stock. But on Friday the firm announced that it was intending to appoint administrators, though Austin Reed remains a going concern. The company was last listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2006, when it was taken private by an investment firm for £49m. Austin Reed started as a tailoring business in the City of London more than a century ago, selling off-the-rack suits which could pass muster as made to measure. It had a concession on the transatlantic liner Queen Elizabeth and supplied clothing for special agents and resistance fighters during World War Two. The Austin Reed group currently employs a total of 1,184 staff. "Our priority now is to work with all stakeholders and determine the optimum route forward for the business as we continue to serve customers throughout the UK and Ireland," said Mr Saville of Alix Partners. If the administrators can not sell the business as a going concern, it may be broken up to raise cash for creditors. Hugo Swire referred to the visit during an appearance before the Commons foreign affairs committee. The Foreign Office said it was "discussing a possible visit with the Chinese", and Buckingham Palace said any state visit would be announced "in the normal way". David Cameron and other British ministers visited Beijing in 2013. Sino-British relations have improved since a row in 2012 over David Cameron's decision to meet exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. Mr Swire was being questioned by the MPs about Beijing's refusal to allow the committee into Hong Kong as part of their inquiry into British relations with its former colony. This came after months of protests in Hong Kong by pro-democracy activists. Mr Swire said he had spoken to the Chinese ambassador about the issue, and went on to say that 2015 would be a "an extraordinarily important year" including "amongst other things, the visit of Prince William the Duke of Cambridge for the first time, and a state visit from President Xi later on in the year". A state visit would include a meeting with the Queen, a visit to Parliament and a meeting with the prime minister. The last one by a Chinese leader to the UK was a decade ago when Hu Jintao visited in November 2005. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "If we were hosting a state visit, we would announce it in the normal way." The Foreign Office said: "We are discussing a possible visit with the Chinese. "Any future state visit would be announced in the usual way." Patients are suing Dr Arackal Manu Nair, who it is alleged gave prostate cancer treatment to patients who did not have the disease. Heartlands NHS Hospital in Birmingham and the Spire Parkway private hospital in Solihull, where Dr Nair practised, have recalled the affected patients. The General Medical Council said it was investigating. About 170 men who had their prostate removed have been contacted, the Heart of England NHS Trust said. More on this and other Birmingham stories Dr Nair is also alleged to have given some patients laser treatment - a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) - which was yet to be approved by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice). The GMC put restrictions on the consultant urologist's work while the allegations are investigated. These restrictions include not working in private practice and all work being supervised. Medical negligence lawyer, Adam Wright, said his firm has been contacted by 57 of Dr Nair's former patients. Spire Parkway Hospital said Dr Nair had not worked there since 2014 and Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, which manages Heartlands NHS Hospital, said he had been "excluded from the trust since April 2014". He worked at Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust between February and July as a locum surgeon. The trust said he declared the GMC's restrictions imposed on him and he "gave [them] no cause for concern". Samantha Power said this week she would seek to combat what she called the "crackdown on civil society" in countries including Venezuela. She was speaking at a US Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday. The remarks prompted an angry response from Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro. "The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela hereby ends the process... of finally normalising our diplomatic relations," said Venezuela's foreign ministry in a statement. It objected to Ms Power's "interventionist agenda", noting that her "disrespectful opinions" were later endorsed by the state department, "contradicting in tone and in content" earlier statements by Secretary of State John Kerry. Relations between the US and Venezuela have been strained in recent years. They last had ambassadors in each other's capitals in 2010. Washington angered Caracas by backing the Venezuelan opposition's demand for a full recount of the presidential election in April to replace Hugo Chavez, who died in March. Mr Chavez's anointed successor, Nicolas Maduro, won the vote by less than two percentage points. In June, the two countries had tentatively agreed to work towards improving their strained relations, after Venezuela freed and deported a US filmmaker who had been held on conspiracy charges. During a regional summit in Guatemala, Mr Kerry said he had agreed with Foreign Minister Elias Jaua on an "ongoing, continuing dialogue" in order to "establish a more constructive and positive relationship". He said the US wanted to "begin to change the dialogue between our countries and hopefully quickly move the appointments of ambassadors between our nations". Mr Jaua said at the time that for Venezuela it was important to build a relationship based on the principles of mutual respect and no interference in internal affairs. Fans were invited to enter a £20 raffle to follow the team on their pre-season tour of Hungary. But the winning entry was later described as "not legitimate". "After a thorough internal investigation, I can now confirm that the person responsible for this total farce has left the football club," said director Ashley Carson. "Kevin Fitzgerald has been a hard-working, respected, likeable employee who has, for some reason, made a massive error of judgement and has subsequently paid the consequences for his actions. "The board were unaware of his actions and have taken swift action after uncovering the truth." The club apologised to supporters on Tuesday and said all other lotteries and raffles run by the club would not be affected by the incident. "I do hope that we can look for a replacement to head our commercial department, move forward and pick up the pieces from the whole sorry mess," added Carson. In a Sky News interview she urged the broadcaster to "sign me up for next year - I want a bit of that action". The prime-time weekend show is currently featuring former Labour MP Ed Balls. Ms Davidson spoke about her dancing ambitions ahead of her keynote speech to the Conservative Party conference. She will address delegates on the final day of the Birmingham gathering. Ms Davidson said she was jealous of Mr Balls' participation in the competition which is now in its twelfth year. She added: "I have to say I have been totally team Balls on Strictly Come Balls... Strictly Come Dancing. "I think he's doing a tremendous job and I'm just jealous. "So if anybody from the BBC is watching, sign me up for next year, because he's making it look brilliant. I want a bit of that action." At the weekend, Mr Balls was praised for his second dance, a Charleston which earned him a standing ovation from the Strictly audience. Kane Kennedy, 20, of Heysham was found guilty of killing Oskar Jobey-Kennedy at a flat in Morecambe. Oskar's mother Tia Jobey, 19, was sentenced on 5 December to 30 months after admitting causing or allowing the baby's death. At Preston Crown Court, Kennedy was told he must serve a minimum term of 18 years. There was a catalogue of other non-accidental injuries to Oskar's body, including to his genitals and marks inside his mouth consistent with fingers being pushed forcibly inside, the court heard. Kennedy, of Harewood Avenue, Heysham, had initially claimed he fell asleep on the sofa with his son and had woken to find him unresponsive. But in November he changed his story and claimed he had slept in a separate room to Oskar and Jobey. Home Office pathologist Alison Armour concluded Oskar's injuries "negated the possibility" his death was caused by an adult laying on top of him. Kennedy had later tried to blame Oskar's mother, the jury was told. Det Ch Insp Jon Holmes from Lancashire Police said: "Kane Kennedy has repeatedly changed his account of what happened on that fateful night and has tried to blame other family members to try to save himself. "The person who should never be forgotten in this is baby Oskar. He should have been able to look to Kane Kennedy for the protection and love of a parent. Instead this defenceless child found himself subjected to horrendous abuse and the injuries which sadly caused his death." An NSPCC spokesperson said it was a timely reminder to be vigilant for the signs of abuse and neglect. "Kennedy unleashed unimaginable abuse and murdered this defenceless, young child when he should have done everything to protect him." Barnardo's is calling on ministers to reserve 20,000 apprenticeships for 16-18 year olds from the care system. Care leavers' potential and not only their entry qualifications should be taken into account, Barnardo's says. The Department for Education said it was "improving the lives of care leavers and helping them make a successful transition to adulthood". According to the government's care leaver strategy 2013, around 10,000 youngsters aged between 16 and 18 leave care in England every year. The strategy says there is a significant gap between the educational achievements of care leavers and their peers. In June, the Prison Reform Trust launched an independent review to examine why so many children in care in England and Wales end up in the criminal justice system. The trust says children aged 10 to 17 and in care are more than five times as likely to be in trouble than others. In Chancellor George Osborne's Budget in July, the government pledged that three million new apprenticeships would be created by 2020, funded by a tax on large firms. Now Barnardo's wants to see a tranche of these reserved for those coming out of the care system to redress some of the inequalities they face. Instead of apprenticeships depending on entry qualifications only, care leavers' potential should also be taken into account, the charity says. It adds that intensive support throughout an apprenticeship would help the young people get the qualifications they need to go on to successfully establish a career. Barnardo's chief executive Javed Khan said: "Young people leaving the care system have ambition and talents. They want to work, to be financially independent and contribute to the country's economy. "But too often, care leavers find the door to employment is closed. Getting an apprenticeship and proving themselves in work can open up the door to a successful career instead of a dependence on benefits. "Young people are the future of Britain's economy. They must be invested in and given the right support to get into work." A spokesman for the DfE said: "We are improving the lives of care leavers and helping them make a successful transition to adulthood. "A good apprenticeship can help support this, and that is why we're fully funding apprenticeships training for eligible care leavers aged 19-23. "We have also changed the law so young people can live with their foster family after they turn 18, and given every child who leaves care a personal adviser." The year I won Wimbledon, I was seeded to meet Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-finals and Roger Federer or Rafa Nadal in the semi-finals, but they all went out early. I remember that made it hard in terms of everyone focusing on me from early in the tournament and I spoke with Ivan about it at the time, because it's an extra thing to deal with. The difference between this year and 2013 is those players were all in my section of the draw, and so their losses had quite a direct effect, whereas Novak Djokovic losing on Saturday won't have any bearing on me at all unless I reach the final. I couldn't help but notice the noise from the crowd when Novak's score flashed up on the Centre Court scoreboard, but I only thought about it for a few seconds. It doesn't guarantee anything. The players left in my section of the draw are still formidable. You've got Nick Kyrgios, who's beaten Rafa on Centre Court before; Feli Lopez, who's a very good grass-courter; Tsonga is one of the best grass-court players in the world; not many players want to play John Isner; Richard Gasquet's still in there and he made the semis last year. There are some pretty decent players left in my way, so I'm not getting carried away. Media playback is not supported on this device I don't have a weather app on my phone but a couple of the guys in my team do, and it's fair to say they've been checking them pretty regularly over the past week. A British summer like this one can be a nightmare for spectators, organisers and players. We tend to speak to the tour managers regularly on days when there is rain around to find out what the plan is, when the matches will start and what the outlook is, because they often have the best forecasts. Some players are pushier than others about constantly trying to get updates - I personally don't. The coaches will sometimes try to get a heads up to find out what time you're going to play, but I tend to talk to the guys on my team. It can be tricky when the schedule doesn't come out until late because if you're scheduled to play at 11am, for example, you might want to go to bed at 10.30pm as you're getting up early. When you get your schedule you have to plan out your day - what time you get up, what you're going to eat, when you're going to practise and then chat about the match with your team. I went on at 2.30pm on Saturday, so for me it wasn't much of an issue. I got a message past 10pm the night before saying I was second on Centre Court, so we just had a group chat where everyone messaged each other, made a plan and then spoke about the match the following morning. Media playback is not supported on this device You can make requests around when and where you play - I normally have one match on court one each year, so this time I asked to play there in the second round, but obviously it's up to the organisers to decide. It's obviously an advantage to play on Centre Court at Wimbledon because the roof means you know your match is going to get finished, whatever the weather. I personally prefer playing outdoors, but on a rainy day like Saturday I'm in a position where I got through to the fourth round and don't have to worry about coming back and finishing. That will be the case for my next opponent, with Nick and Feli unable to finish on Saturday, and mentally that can be tiring. I experienced it at the French Open against Radek Stepanek when I was two sets down and had to finish the next day. It was a stressful situation - but more mentally than physically taxing. Whichever of them gets through, I'm sure they will be physically fine and in confident mood for our match on Monday. Andy Murray was talking to BBC Sport's Piers Newbery. One person has died and five were injured after the "major incident" at the Oxfordshire site on Tuesday. One of those feared to have died has been named on social media as Michael (Mick) Collings. A post on Tees Riders MCC Facebook page he was a "good friend and dedicated member" of the club. Chrissi Hutchinson wrote: "Ride free Mick. You will be missed more than you would ever have realised......so many memories, so many good times." Live updates on the Didcot collapse Shaz Morgan said: "Tragic news RIP Mick. Big lad with a massive heart and infectious laugh." Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service chief fire officer David Etheridge said at a press conference there had been "no signs of life detected" in the wreckage while looking for the missing people. The families of those missing have visited the site, the emergency services said in a joint statement. Mr Etheridge said: "We remain committed and determined to return the missing people to their families, and work continues overnight." Demolition work had been taking place at the decommissioned Didcot A plant. The collapse, which was initially reported as an explosion, happened at 16:00 GMT on Tuesday. Mr Etheridge said search and rescue teams had been using thermal imaging cameras, drones with audio sensing equipment and sniffer dogs, but had not detected anything. The military is using a "mini remote control vehicle to assist with the search for survivors", the emergency services said. He said the teams had received no response from the demolition workers' radio, which they were treating as "highly significant". Five people were taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital on Tuesday, with one being discharged last night. Andrew Stevens of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said three people were expected to be discharged later and one patient remained in the hospital in a stable condition. Mr Etheridge said the second half of the building "could collapse at any time" as it has undergone the same process as the first half of the building which collapsed. He said the operation could take "days if not week" due to the 9m (30ft) high pile of unstable debris. Vendel Segesdy, who worked at the Didcot site for more than 40 years and helped build the structure which collapsed, said: "I was worried about my safety a week ago. "It looked like a shell as you could see through the boiler house. "I thought to myself if there is a lot of weight still left in there this thing could fall like a pack of cards as soon as they start taking pieces out." During Prime Minister's Questions, David Cameron sent his "sincere condolences to the family and friends of the victim and best wishes to the injured and those still missing". Ministerial meetings on the matter had already taken place with further meetings taking place later, he said. An Npower spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that shortly after 16:00 part of the boiler house at our former Didcot A power station site in Oxfordshire collapsed while an external demolition contractor was working in it. "Our thoughts are with the families of all those involved in this tragedy." Coleman and Company, the firm behind the demolition, tweeted that it was "working with all stakeholders to establish facts" and it urged concerned relatives of employees to get in touch. Mr Etheridge added the families of those missing were "obviously distraught". Ed Vaizey, the Conservative MP for Didcot, said the man who died and the three people who are still missing were based in the north of England. He was at the scene on Wednesday and said he was "hoping and praying" for the missing men and their families. Oxfordshire's coal-fired Didcot A Power Station was turned off in 2013, after 43 years in service. The station included six cooling towers, measuring 375ft (114m) in height, which dominated the skyline of the town. Hundreds of people gathered to watch when three of the towers were demolished in the early hours of 27 July 2014. RWE Npower expects complete deconstruction of the site by the end of this year. A gas-burning power station - known as Didcot B - opened in 1997 on the site and continues to operate. A major fire was declared at Didcot B in October 2014, with 20 fire crews sent to tackle the blaze, which was caused by an electrical fault. Assistant Chief Constable Scott Chilton from Thames Valley Police said the service was working closely with the Health and Safety Executive to determine the cause of the collapse. The South African Hockey Association (SAHA) says the decision will "cripple the sport" in the country. It believes the teams met the qualification criteria by winning the African Championships. But the Olympic committee wanted them to qualify via the Hockey World League, which they failed to do. It will be the first time in 20 years that they will not participate at a Games. SASCOC and the SAHA signed an agreement earlier in the year which stated qualification could only be gained via the World Hockey League and had to be achieved by 5 July. The men's team - ranked 15th in the world - were eliminated in the second round, while the women's team - ranked 11th - reached the semi-finals of the third round, where they lost to Great Britain. SASCOC said the decision is in line with their policy of "producing world-class athletes who will compete at the highest levels." The association - who confirmed the news on Friday - said it signed the agreement as a "fait accompli", adding the criteria proposed was "unachievable". It added in a statement: "The decision taken is by no measure in the interest of the sport." Low staffing levels have led to temporary closure of the Livingston children's ward on several occasions. It had been proposed that all children could travel to a new children's hospital being built in Edinburgh. But an independent review has recommended children's services be retained in Edinburgh and Livingston. However, it is dependent upon staff agreeing to provide more out-of-hours cover. NHS Lothian board members will meet on Wednesday to look at the recommendations. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) was asked to review paediatric services at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, St John's Hospital and the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. The RCPCH has suggested three main options for securing the children's ward at St John's Hospital and has identified option one and two as being "the most suitable". It has also recommended an increase in the number of consultants based at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children to help meet the rise in the number of admissions. NHS Lothian board members are being asked to approve the recommendations in the report - adopting option one for St John's Hospital, while using option two or a variation of this option agreed with the team at St John's, as an interim solution while the staffing infrastructure is developed. Option one, which is the college's recommended option, is to have consultants staying overnight in the hospital, which all consultants at St John's Hospital would be required to support. This would see each consultant do "occasional" overnights to provide on-site senior presence, supported by a non-resident consultant on-call from home. Option two is presented by the college as a possible interim option while progressing option one. This option would see the children's ward at St John's Hospital providing overnight inpatient care as a 24-hour 'low acuity' unit, which does not admit children overnight when consultants are not present. Out-of-hours cover would be provided by a mixture of advanced practice nurses and medical staff, with a non-resident consultant on-call from home. The board is being asked to agree to an interim option being put in place from the end of August 2016. Option three would see the children's ward operate as a Short Stay Paediatric Assessment Unit (SSPAU) open from 08:00 to 22:00, with no overnight accommodation. Jim Crombie, NHS Lothian's chief officer of acute services, said: "I want to ensure that we can deliver the safest services for children across Lothian which is why we commissioned the experts at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health to carry out an independent review. "As we fully expected, the review team reflected the concerns and aspirations shared by staff and have been able to identify areas where we can make improvements to ensure we continue to deliver high quality person-centred care. "We have a number of recommendations, in relation to recruitment, changing working patterns and fostering closer relations between departments, and we now need to discuss these with our staff, who are pivotal in moving forward." Riad Hijab, the opposition's High Negotiations Committee (HNC) co-ordinator, arrived in Geneva on Wednesday to give an extra weight to the troubled talks. But comments of Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, who said Russian strikes will not cease "until we really defeat terrorist organisations like al-Nusra Front" clearly made it difficult for both the UN and Syrian opposition to press ahead. Over the past days, Russia and the Syrian government have intensified their aerial bombardment over different parts of Syria. The opposition say they counted over 100 airstrikes on Tuesday in northern Syria, which allowed the government to retake control of two towns in Aleppo. The UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura told me in an interview this week: "Every time there is a chance for negotiations, there is just the opposite happening on the ground, they are increasing their attacks... to be in a better position." "We should be aware of it and still push forward," he said. But 48 hours later, the optimistic diplomat was forced to call for a "temporary pause" in the talks. Mr de Mistura has made it clear that the aim of the conference is to encourage concrete changes that will improve the lives of Syrians on the ground. "Since I am not seeing that, I have to be honest and say with myself, it is time now to have a pause." Teams of diplomats representing countries supporting the opposition are pushing behind the scenes in Geneva for concessions from all parties involved in the war. But almost everyone, whether diplomats or the opposition, says it is the US which is key to success - by using its leverage on Russia. Russia is the only world power involved in the Syrian conflict with a military base in the country - therefore it could bring exert significant pressure on the regime of Bashar al-Assad to stop the violence. But there is a limit to what the US is prepared to do. A senior US Department of State official told me: "We are not ready to go to World War Three to solve this." The US, however, is spending billions of dollars in the battle against the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS), which controls large parts of Syria. Many Syrians feel the selective involvement of the US is hypocritical. The US official was adamant that Secretary of State John Kerry wants to end the violence, and is determined to succeed. But everyone here thinks the opposite. Almost at every corner, you hear the same thought: The US has handed over Syria to the Russians for free. The Syrian government, however, puts the blame on the Saudis, the Qataris and the Turks for the failure of the talks. Bashar al-Jaafari, the government's chief negotiator, said the opposition delegation was "instructed by its backers to make the talks fail". He described them as "irresponsible" and "uncommitted". Riad Hijab pointed a finger in the other direction: "The one who is using chemical weapons, barrel bombs on people, who created Isis [IS] and terrorism, is known to everyone - it is the regime of Bashar al-Assad and the militias around him." The reality is that the opposition are in the weaker position with powers behind them limiting their support, while the Syrian government is being empowered by fully-fledged support from Russia. Although the UN Security Council has adopted resolution 2254, endorsing a road map for a peace process in Syria, there is neither an enforcement mechanism, or the power to implement it. Mr de Mistura wants the talks to resume again end of this month and is counting on the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) meeting in Munich next week to push for further action. Until a peace plan is reached, the world will probably continue to see dead children being pulled out of rubble and a continued flow of asylum seekers fleeing Syria. It is the sort of despair that will lead to more anger and radicalisation, and may well increase the numbers who will join extremist groups like IS. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service was carrying out the exercise at Bolingbroke Heights, Flint, when the incident happened on Tuesday evening. The water caused damage to fixtures and fittings and electrical wiring in flats from the 13th floor down. The fire service said it was working with Flintshire council to establish what caused it. No-one was injured, but one resident was provided with temporary accommodation overnight and another chose to stay with relatives. Chris Nott, senior training and development manager for the fire service, said it was "assisting residents with the recovery and return to normality". The council's chief officer for community and enterprise, Clare Budden, said emergency systems and lifts were working by the following morning. A number of electrical problems were then fixed on Thursday. She added: "I do apologise for the inconvenience caused to those tenants affected by this incident and our accommodation support team will continue to offer their help and support to residents if required." Mr Uribe, leader of the right-wing Democratic Center party, had previously ruled out such talks. But after a referendum rejected the peace accord between the rebels and the government, he said his group might now take part in the "national interest". The deal was four years in the making and its rejection was a shock. It failed to pass by a narrow margin in the popular vote on 2 October. Opponents of the accord to end 52 years of conflict thought it was too lenient on the Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia). They were angered that Farc guerrillas were offered congressional seats and non-custodial sentences such as clearing landmines in return for ending the conflict. Mr Uribe said on Tuesday: "We think that at this time, in the interest of a national deal, spokespeople from 'No' could at some point speak with the Farc." President Juan Manuel Santos, who spearheaded the accord and won the Nobel Peace Prize this month for his efforts, has been talking with the opposition to try to salvage it. He said he would take opposition proposals into discussions with the Farc later in the week. Mr Santos last week extended a ceasefire with Farc rebels until the end of the year to give more time to save the deal. The UN Security Council agreed on Tuesday that its mission for Colombia could continue to monitor the truce. Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said the council had received a request "from all parties" to do so and that council members "encourage the parties and all political actors to continue momentum in the peace effort". An estimated 220,000 people have been killed during the Colombian conflict. Kieron Williamson, from Norfolk, saw his watercolours, oils and pastels sell at Picturecraft Gallery in Holt on Friday in just a matter of minutes. The child prodigy, who is worth about £2m after selling pieces at auction since the age of seven, was exhibiting his latest work alongside pieces by his East Anglian hero Edward Seago. His mother Michelle Williamson said she was "amazed" at the demand. "You never know how each year is going to go," she said. "Keith [her husband] and I are always a little pessimistic, but it's really lovely that people still want his work." Twenty-nine of the landscapes sold for £265,000 through a pre-exhibition sale on Thursday, with the remaining 11 pieces fetching £125,000 on Friday. People in New York, Thailand and Germany were among the buyers. The most expensive lots, including the piece Sailor Boy, sold for £22,675 each. Gallery owner Adrian Hill said: "It's stunning in this day and age that someone can sell their work at this speed, let alone when they're Kieron's age." Kieron's next exhibition will be held next year. The prominent scientist and atheist questioned why religious groups deserve a special liaison officer. A spokesman for Police and Crime Commissioner Adam Simmonds said the post would help community initiatives as well as those that are faith-based. The new director will be paid between £35,000 and £42,000. The budget of the new office is £70,000, which includes the salary. Prof Dawkins, the author of The God Delusion, told the BBC: "No doubt he'll also be liaising with leaders of the 'community' of stamp collectors, the 'community' of bird twitchers, and the 'community' of chub fuddlers (a fishing term). "Sarcasm aside, what is so special about religious 'communities' that they need, or deserve, a special liaison officer, any more than the rest of us?" But freethinker, writer and former police officer Stevyn Colgan said he had seen how work between the police and faith groups could help "heal" troubled communities. He said faith leaders were "often very helpful as a resource". Mr Colgan said: "Community pastors, for example, carry a lot of weight." But he added that the police "have to be shown as impartial". Peter Heaton, a spokesman for the PCC, said: "This is about faith groups and community groups. "It could include a religious group in Wellingborough or a Women's Institute in Oundle. It is about supporting communities and not exclusively about religion." The attack took place in a flat in Waterside Place at about 06:30 on Monday 9 January. The man in the image is described as white, in his 20s, of slim build, with short brown hair. He is about 5ft 8in tall and was wearing a green polo shirt under a dark jumper and a black Lacoste jacket. Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland. The body of Lee Irving was found on grass near Hazeldene Avenue in Fawdon, Newcastle, on Saturday morning. Police described the 24-year-old, from Camperdown, East Denton, as being vulnerable with learning difficulties. Mr Irving's mother, Bev, wrote on Facebook: "My son been killed the day [today] off [by] a bunch of... bully he had the mind of a eight year old". Detectives have admitted they think his learning difficulties may have been a factor in his death, although details of how he died have not been disclosed. Four men aged 23, 28, 31 and 50 and two women aged 20 and 50 have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are being questioned. After his body was discovered, paramedics were called to the grassed area, but he was declared dead at the scene. Northumbria Police released a statement on behalf of Mr Irving's family, which said: "Lee was a wonderful young man. Loved by many, he used to love ice-skating, going to the pictures and enjoying life. "He will be very sadly missed by all who knew him. What we have lost is irreplaceable and we must live with our loss every day. "We would like to thank everyone who has supported us at this devastating time. Lee will always remain in our hearts and thoughts." Supt Bruce Storey, of Northumbria Police, added: "It's thought those involved in this incident know each other. "Lee had learning difficulties and was vulnerable. One of our key lines of inquiry is to establish whether this is a factor in his death and a motivation in this crime. "It's important those suspected of being responsible face the consequences of their actions and I would urge anyone who was in Fawdon on Saturday morning, between 7am and 9am, to come forward and speak to us. "Extra officers will continue to carry out patrols in the area to offer reassurance to the local community, who understandably are shocked and appalled by this tragic death." Big companies like GSK, Rio Tinto et al make most of their money in dollars but report their profits in pounds. As the pound falls to its lowest level against the dollar for 31 years, those dollar profits are worth more in pound terms. A goldilocks scenario for big multinationals headquartered and listed in the UK: FTSE 100 rockets. Simple. But that is not the whole story. If you look further down the business league table, you will find that shares in midsize and smaller firms are also surging. Fewer of them have foreign earnings so what's going on? The explanation I've heard from several market experts goes something like this. If you believe we are headed for a "hard brexit" (leaving the single market), and you believe that will hurt the UK economy (which even Philip Hammond seems to accept in the short term), then it is more likely that the Bank of England will cut interest rates again and hold them at near zero for longer. That makes it even harder for investors to make any income at all. In the old days, they would buy bonds or put money on deposit. Not any more. If you need income, then dividends from shares in companies - of all sizes - are that much more attractive. We are in the peculiar but not uncommon position that fears over the economy push share prices UP. Finally I should make two things clear. First, the UK economy is yet to show any ill effects from the Brexit vote. Nevertheless, the chancellor thought it wise to brace us for the potential rollercoaster ahead. Second, markets are very far from being infallible. They got the referendum result spectacularly wrong so we should be careful about what they seem to be telling us now. Markets seem be joining the following dots. 1: The greater priority placed on immigration control (which has emerged from the Tory Party conference) will 2: make it harder for the UK to get access to the single market. That would 3: hurt the UK economy, prompting the Bank of England 4: to cut rates further and so 5: the pound falls. Theresa May and her ministers do not accept the link between (1) and (2). We won't know who is right for at least two years. Unite union members walked out at 05:00 GMT in the first of two 24-hour strikes. Services in the Medway towns and routes to and from Maidstone, Bluewater and Gravesend have been affected by the industrial action. Arriva urged passengers to make alternative arrangements and check its website for the latest information. The union claims timetable changes have led to unrealistic running times, making a safe, reliable service impossible to deliver. Arriva said improvements were being introduced in January and it wanted to meet union leaders to try to resolve the issue. Bus drivers are due to go on strike again on Monday. Check if this is affecting your journey The actor, comedian and singer, who was born in Maesteg, south Wales, also appeared in shows including Coronation Street, Casualty and Open All Hours. He died surrounded by his family on Tuesday. Cardiff agents Emptage Hallett said Evans' "warmth, positivity and sense of humour made him a joy to work with". In a statement, they said: "His love of life and brilliant sense of humour was inspirational. "We are deeply upset. Howell was a hugely talented actor, a consummate professional and a lovely human being. "Our thoughts go out to his wife Pat Kane and son Warwick Evans." Evans' long entertainment career began with a spell as an impressionist touring the war zones from the age of 16. On tour he met his wife, Pat Kane, a member of a dance group entertaining the troops. After three years in the RAF, Evans emerged in 1949 to join the Carroll Lewis Discovery Show where he was introduced as "the star from the services". His wife Pat joined him, and they soon became a comedy double act, working together for many years in music hall, variety, revue and pantomime. When their son Warwick was born he was taken on tour with them until he went to school, and later followed them into the acting profession. Evans' TV credits include Welsh favourites How Green Was My Valley and Satellite City, and he also appeared in TV classics, including Holby City and Softly, Softly and Z Cars. He also played Grandpa Jack in The Story of Tracy Beaker and Mr Bolder in the BBC drama series The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. The Ipcress File and An Englishman That Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain are among his film credits. He also did a great deal of charity work and still performed his music hall revivals with his wife. Many experienced medical staff have been critical of the treatment of whistleblowers at ARI. A letter to the minister claimed there was evidence of NHS Grampian targeting other staff. The health board said it would not discuss matters involving individual members of staff. Ms Robinson said: "The process in this case is underway and needs to be allowed to conclude without interference. It would be completely inappropriate for myself or any politician to become involved. "Finally, you note there have been significant changes within the senior leadership at NHS Grampian and I welcome your view on the substance, experience and integrity of the Board's new Chairman and Chief Executive. "I can assure you that I am satisfied the Senior Leadership of the Board has demonstrated these values in the management of the matters you raise." A Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) review released in December warned that patient care at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary faced a "serious impact" if problems were not "urgently addressed". It identified concerns about leadership and culture which were impacting on the quality of care, and made 13 recommendations for improvements The review was one of three critical reports into health care in the north east of Scotland published on the same day. A whistleblower subsequently told BBC Scotland that staff at Aberdeen Royal were being "stretched almost to breaking point". NHS Grampian's refusal to publish in full a report In March into general surgery at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary was branded a "failure of transparency" by MSP Lewis Macdonald. BBC Scotland was given a heavily redacted version following a Freedom of Information request. A statement issued by NHS Grampian said: "NHS Grampian does not comment on specific circumstances surrounding the employment status of any member of staff. Our processes are full and robust and any decision about an individual's employment would never be taken lightly and only reached after a thorough analysis of the circumstances in each individual case. It added: "Using locum doctors ensures that we can continue to provide a service to our patients and their use is driven by clinical imperative rather than by cost." Palestinian FM Riad Malki said the document led to mass Jewish immigration to British Mandate Palestine "at the expense of our Palestinian people". Mr Malki said the lawsuit would be filed in an international court. Israel declared its independence in 1948 after the UK mandate expired. Speaking at an Arab League summit in Mauritania on Monday, Mr Malki said the UK was responsible for all "Israeli crimes" since the end of the mandate in 1948. "Nearly a century has passed since the issuance of the Balfour Declaration in 1917," he was quoted as saying by the Palestinian Wafa news agency. "And based on this ill-omened promise hundreds of thousands of Jews were moved from Europe and elsewhere to Palestine at the expense of our Palestinian people whose parents and grandparents had lived for thousands of years on the soil of their homeland." The minister did not provide any further details about the planned lawsuit. Mr Malki made the announcement on behalf of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who was not at the summit because of his brother's recent death. The Balfour Declaration, named after then UK Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur Balfour, pledged Britain's support for the establishment "in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people". The document formed the basis of the British Mandate for Palestine, which was formally approved by the League of Nations in 1922. Jewish immigration to Palestine accelerated from the 1920s to the 1940s, latterly spurred by Nazi persecution and the Holocaust in Europe. The growth of the Jewish population was opposed by Palestine's Arab community, which rejected the eventual establishment of a Jewish state. Britain has not publicly commented on the issue. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the move "will fail, but this shines a light clarifying that the root of the conflict is the [Palestinians'] refusal to recognise a Jewish state in any borders. "It was and remains the heart of this conflict." Politician Elio Di Rupo said the eight parties in the talks had agreed on moves to resolve key sticking points. They included the division of power between French- and Dutch-speaking communities, he said. The country has been without an elected government for 15 months. Disagreement centres on electoral boundaries in the linguistically divided Brussels region. "The eight parties have together succeeded in overcoming the obstacles which have created difficulties these last few days," Mr Di Rupo said in a statement. Belgium's political crisis worsened on Tuesday when caretaker Prime Minister Yves Leterme announced he was leaving to take up a new job in Paris. King Albert II cut short a holiday in France to fly back to Brussels following the news. The king had appointed Mr Di Rupo, leader of Belgium's second-biggest party the French-speaking Socialist Party, to negotiate a coalition deal. On Wednesday Mr Di Rupo said that negotiations faced imminent collapse and warned: "The future of the country is at stake." But after further intense talks on Wednesday he was finally able to announce a breakthrough. He said the parties had agreed on solutions to sticking points including a dispute over Bruxelles-Hal-Vilvorde (BHV), a district covering the capital and the suburbs. BHV is the only district officially bilingual rather than French- or Dutch-speaking. "Even if the work is far from being finished and numerous debates have to be have to be worked out, the steps taken today... constitute an important step," the statement added. Financial markets and rating agencies are pressing the country to create an effective government capable of carrying out structural reforms and reducing debt. Mr Leterme announced he would leave by the end of this year to take up a post at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

None of the Welsh teams reached the play-offs in the Pro12 and only Scarlets have qualified for the European Champions Cup next season. And Welsh Rugby Union chairman Gareth Davies has confirmed the regions will meet Gatland and head of rugby Geraint John to pick over the mortal remains of the 2015-16 domestic season. So, where did it all go wrong? And why is it so important for the Welsh regions to succeed when the national team has been consistently competitive over the past decade? This is what Gatland had to say when he was asked about the performance of the Welsh regions. "Everyone would agree it's been disappointing," he said. "From our point of view you want to see more than one regional team in the highest echelon of Europe for a start, and you'd like to see one if not more making the semi-finals of the Pro12. "It's important for the regional game and from our point of view to having players come into the national team from sides that are doing pretty well - they come in with a spring in their step and a bit of confidence." Scarlets were the best of the Wales regions in fifth-place in the Pro12 - seven points ahead of Cardiff Blues in seventh. But having led the league at Christmas, their demise in the tail-end of the season was a major disappointment. "On reflection it was an improvement on last year," said head coach Wayne Pivac. "We were a lot stronger mentally and we've managed to get some great wins away from home and I think we're in a reasonably good position looking to building for next season. "We'll take a lot of positives out of the season." Prospects for 2016-17: Scarlets will be stronger next season, with Wales internationals Jonathan Davies and Rhys Patchell joining along with wing Johnny McNicholl arriving from Crusaders in New Zealand. Cardiff Blues were the bottom Welsh region in 2014-15 so finishing above Dragons and Ospreys reflects an improvement. Under head coach Danny Wilson the capital region have developed an open attacking style which works on their artificial pitch at Cardiff Arms Park. They are the second top try scorers in the league with 62, but have been let down by a defence which leaked 53 touchdowns. "We have changed other people's perception of the Blues. People outside the group maybe talked about the Blues not being able to finish teams off and what I've seen this year is that the players have huge fight and desire in them," said Wilson. "It proves there's a mental toughness there that is slowly growing, but it needs to grow and develop more." Prospects for 2016-17: Nick Williams joining from Ulster will add power and bulk, Matthew Morgan will bring his trickery from Bristol and Willis Halaholo arrives with Super Rugby experience from Hurricanes. George Earle, Kirby Myhill and Steven Shingler are also on their way. It means Wilson - who wants to cut his pool of players to 45 from nearly 60 - has some players to shed. Of all the Welsh regions, Ospreys suffered the biggest fall - culminating in the 46-26 home defeat by Ulster. It means the Swansea-based team will not play in Europe's top flight next season - the first time that has happened since the region was formed in 2003. Injuries to key players - including Wales internationals Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric - hampered their run-in, but by their own high standards Ospreys under-performed. "I'm not going to make excuses because of injuries," said backs coach Gruff Rees. "Last season we overplayed some of our bigger players, this year they've underplayed them and there's a clear correlation in where we've come top four (last season) and where we've been chasing a bit this year. "We weren't good enough over 22 games regardless of who's on the field or not." Prospects for 2016-17: With no World Cup, Ospreys will have their big names available more often. A specialist defence coach has arrived in the shape of Brad Davis from Wasps. On the player front, it is quiet at the moment. Only the Italian teams Zebre and Treviso finished below Newport Gwent Dragons, and Zebre won more games than the Welsh region. Promising displays in the European Challenge Cup - particularly an away win against Aviva Premiership side Gloucester in the quarter-final - were punctuated by too many narrow defeats in the league. Head coach Kingsley Jones, now in sole control following the departure of Lyn Jones, has to turn those narrow defeats into wins. Prospects for 2016-17: With stand-out player Taulupe Faletau departing for Bath, the region's promising young talent - epitomised by Hallam Amos and Tyler Morgan - will take centre stage. But pro rugby is an unforgiving proving ground. It was on the beaches of the Barry Buddon military training centre in Angus that Lt Col Edwin Hautenville Richardson first proved that man's best friend could follow him to the front lines. Richardson was living in Carnoustie in the run-up to World War One when he demonstrated how dogs - in particular Airedale Terriers - could be trained to carry out a range of military tasks, from carrying messages to locating injured men. Other countries, including France and Germany, were already using dogs in a variety of roles, but it was Richardson's work in Scotland that convinced the British High Command that the animals had a role to play at the front. As early as 1895 Richardson noticed a German man buying a sheepdog from a shepherd, and learned that the German army was buying large quantities of British collies for military service. After marrying fellow dog lover Blanche Bannon, the couple bought land for farming on the east coast of Scotland, where they pursued their mutual interest in canine training. Officers at the nearby Barry Buddon army camp took an interest in their work, and let Richardson bring his dogs in to experiment during the training of soldiers as war clouds gathered over Europe. Richardson - and Blanche - were eventually asked to set up the British War Dogs training school at Shoeburyness, Essex, where they trained hundreds of hounds for service in both world wars. Wendy Turner, secretary of the Airedale Terrier Club of Scotland, can see why Richardson considered the determined terriers to have the right character for military service. "At first he specialised in collies and terriers, but then in the Airedale he found what he considered to be the ideal dog," she said. "They're very determined. They're very single-minded and there's no stopping them. "Richardson was obviously an experienced trainer - they're notoriously difficult to train, you have to start from a young age. "He used Barry Buddon for helping examine the dogs for them, it was done unofficially for the officers here, before he would take them down south and show them the finished product." Once their usefulness became clear, the animals were widely used by the Red Cross on the battlefield, as well as carrying messages for the military and acting as guard dogs. "The Red Cross used them as first aid carriers, they had a little package on their neck with medication in it and everything, and they were used for going out and finding wounded soldiers on the battlefield," said Mrs Turner. "Edwin Richardson would actually pay unemployed locals to come and be the injured and dead people lying about the dunes so the dogs could find them." Recruits for Richardson's Shoeburyness school were recruited from Battersea Dogs Home, and strays were sent in from police stations around the country. After an appeal was put out for volunteers, one woman wrote in saying "I've given my husband and my sons, and now that he too is required, I give my dog." The dogs were trained to wear gas masks and navigate the treacherous and often terrifying conditions of the front lines. There are countless tales of heroic service on the part of war dogs; one Airedale, named Jack, came to the rescue of his battalion when they found themselves totally cut off, surrounded by shell-holes and barbed wire - and needed to summon reinforcements. "No man could get through the environment, and their one chance was Jack," said Alastair Petrie, a former Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army who has owned a number of Airedales. "A piece of shrapnel smashed his jaw, but he carried on, and another shell tore open his coat right down his back, and he kept on going. "Finally his forepaw was shattered, but he dragged his body for the last three kilometres. "There was the glaze of death in his eyes when he reached headquarters, but he'd done his work - he'd saved his battalion." Richardson's work continued right into World War Two, although the school was moved to Bulford, in Wiltshire, and he even penned a book about British war dogs and their training. The Airedale Terrier Club of Scotland is now planning a celebration of the work of Richardson and the sacrifices made by all dogs during the war. They have created special hand-made bandanas bearing the slogan "we also served" and are urging club members and other dog owners to bring their pets to remembrance services. "It's wonderful, when you read about them - although obviously I am biased towards Airedales," Mrs Turner said. "They really were magnificent." The 32-year-old was part of the team that won Great Britain's first gold medal in the sport at Rio 2016, beating the Netherlands in the final. Macleod will now focus on her coaching role with the England Under-21 side. "I feel a great sense of content with what I have achieved alongside incredible friends, team-mates, coaches and support staff," she said. "What I take forward is not a list of accomplishments but the inspiration I have gained from seeing my team-mates endure, hurt, cry, thrive and roar with such joy and elation you will only ever witness in sport. "It is seeing these emotions from individuals all striving to achieve a common goal that will live long in my memory." As a result of the GB team's achievement, the members were recognised in the New Year's honours list, and Macleod was made an MBE. The animals have been suspected as the source of Middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers). A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has found "identical" Mers viruses in camels and their owner. The 44-year-old man, from Saudi Arabia, died of the infection. There have been 681 cases of Mers, leading to 204 deaths, since the virus was first detected in June 2012. The precise source of the infection has been unclear. The man, who was treated at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, kept nine camels that had been sick shortly before he was infected. Medical notes show he had treated his camels with nose drops. An analysis of viral samples taken from both the camels and the patient showed that "the full genome sequence from the two isolates was identical", the report said. It added: "These data suggest that this fatal case of human Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection was transmitted through close contact with an infected camel." Jonathan Ball, a professor of virology at Nottingham University, told the BBC: "All the evidence points to camels being the culprit. This is probably the first time the virus sequence is identical and suggests this is a case of transmission. "One of the things that hasn't been resolved is whether or not it is respiratory transmission. The man was administering nose drops to the camel, but there are also reasonable amounts of virus in camel milk." Prof Paul Kellam, of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, told the BBC: "This work further supports camels as a source for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus and is the first to isolate the virus from a camel. "However, as with other studies recently published, the camels were sampled after the human patient was diagnosed, making direction of infection difficult to prove. "To be definitive, camel herds will need to be prospectively followed and showed to be infected with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus and infectious prior to a documented transmission event to a human." Chesterfield striker Ched Evans, who is still recovering from a foot injury, was not in the squad and did not attend the match at Roots Hall after he was found not guilty on Friday of a rape charge. Thompson's first-half strike meant Southend move up to 19th and have won five of their last six matches at home, while Chesterfield drop to 21st. The winner came in the 29th minute after Chesterfield failed to clear a corner and the ball fell to Thompson, who smashed home from 10 yards. Chesterfield could have levelled soon after when Kristian Dennis nipped in behind the Shrimpers defence but his lifted finish was saved by Southend goalkeeper Mark Oxley. The hosts dominated the early part of the second half, but Nile Ranger and Simon Cox both squandered excellent opportunities. Chesterfield substitute Ricky German almost made them pay, but his close-range effort was scrambled off the line and Southend held on for a much-needed victory.

It is the last leg of the Caledonia Way, which is part of the National Cycle Network. Transport Scotland invested £3m in the upgrade work. The Remain campaign was boosted in Oxford after a 40% majority vote at 02:20 BST. With a 70% turn out, 70% of people voted to stay in the EU. In West Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire, the Remain campaign won by a majority of 7%, 13% and 10% respectively. However, Cherwell voted to leave. But while David Cameron's constituency of Witney voted to remain, he has announced he will step down as prime minister by October after the UK voted overall to leave the European Union. For the latest reaction from Oxfordshire See the local results here Follow the latest news on the BBC's live EU referendum coverage Bethan Phillips, BBC political correspondent The news David Cameron is stepping down has sent a shockwave through his Witney constituency. He has a lot of loyal supporters here. He isn't a distant figure in Westminster - he is someone that campaigns here, gets involved in local issues, and during election time, goes door-to-door to gain support. I was with one local Conservative activist as the news broke - he was visibly shaking with shock. The big question now for Witney - will David Cameron stay on as MP, after he steps down as prime minister? Labour MP for Oxford East Andrew Smith said there had been a "huge" victory for Remain in the city. "I think it reflects the nature of our city with the fact we are open, cosmopolitan, we've got a lot of links with Europe and the fact that the university research institutes benefit from EU investment, as indeed does the wider community through our links with BMW," he added. John Cotton, Conservative leader of South Oxfordshire District Council, who campaigned to leave the EU, has admitted to going "from elation to despair in the space of an hour" following David Cameron's decision to step down as prime minister. "I can understand completely from his perspective why he would want to go," he said. "It's a very honourable thing to do, but from the country's point of view we needed him at the helm." Conservative MP for Didcot and Wantage Ed Vaizey also said he was "sad" to see Mr Cameron go. He added: "Utterly decent to the end. Loves his country and will continue to work for our future." Tempers frayed at the Oxford count after city councillor Mike Rowley was ejected from the town hall when he clashed with security staff who refused him entry. He attempted to enter the venue at about 00:30 BST. After he was halted by door staff, police attended the town hall and restrained the Labour councillor before he was taken home. Get the results in full. Crawley were unable to trouble Orient in a poor first half, which saw them fail to produce a single shot. Gnanduillet gave Orient the lead before the break when he chested the ball and turned before volleying into the net. The former Chesterfield striker worked a second when he stabbed home Sean Clohessy's cross at the far post. The win lifted Orient into the League Two play-off places and a point clear of AFC Wimbledon in seventh, while Crawley stay 17th. Leyton Orient player-manager Kevin Nolan told BBC Radio London: Media playback is not supported on this device "I asked for a performance and I think I got it today. "I'm absolutely delighted with the way we've responded to the two defeats that we've suffered in the last two home games with a good performance today. "We kept at it and that was the most pleasing thing." Crawley Town boss Mark Yates told BBC Surrey: Media playback is not supported on this device "I thought we were pretty pathetic to be honest, because we didn't show any desire, or any hunger. We were just content with giving the ball away and having to defend it. "We didn't show any bottle to get onto the ball and support our strikers and we didn't have bottle to give quality into our strikers. "I am not going to rant and rave because the players know I am not happy but I can't keep talking about it. The good thing is we've got a game Tuesday to get out of the way. We have to analyse quickly and see where we went wrong." Match ends, Leyton Orient 2, Crawley Town 0. Second Half ends, Leyton Orient 2, Crawley Town 0. Corner, Leyton Orient.

A hole that can only be filled by five big rings. "Going back in time the best sportsmen ever have been Olympians," said the 30-year-old as he announced he would dedicate himself to being part of rugby sevens' debut at Rio 2016. "Usain Bolt, Muhammad Ali, the list goes on. It's just an amazing opportunity to become one of those." This weekend is the start of that journey as Williams - a little more than a month after lifting the Webb Ellis Cup - heads to Dubai for the first event of the globe-trotting Sevens World Series. This is not one of six World Series events that Williams aims to play in. Instead he has cut short his off-season to meet his new team-mates and learn the seven-a-side game from the sidelines. And he is not the only 15-a-side star aiming to be part of rugby's new frontier. On his flight to the Middle East from Sydney, Williams bumped into Australia fly-half Quade Cooper, the pair tweeting pictures of themselves grinning away in business class. Cooper was en route back to French club Toulon rather than stopping off in Dubai for the sevens. But he is determined to be on the plane to Rio. His contract negotiations with Toulon's hard-ball president Mourad Boudjellal were long and laborious as Cooper successfully fought for the chance to play sevens for Australia alongside his club commitments. When he lands in the south of France, Cooper might discuss his summer plans with new club team-mate Bryan Habana. The Springboks leading try scorer, along with fellow World Cup stars Damian de Allende and Lwazi Mvovo, was invited to train with the South Africa sevens team in November as coach Neil Powell considers whether to import 15-a-side specialists into his Olympic side. Cooper's international team-mates Bernard Foley and Israel Folau have opted for short stints in Japanese club rugby and will make a decision on whether to try their hand at sevens when they return early in 2016. Winger Henry Speight, also part of the Wallabies squad at the World Cup, has already made the switch and is in the Australia squad for the Dubai event. Flanker Liam Messam - another of the All Blacks World Cup-winning squad - has joined Williams in focusing solely on sevens this season. And Argentina winger Santiago Cordero - one of the stars of the Pumas' run to the World Cup semi-finals - is likely to be part of their Rio effort after signing a central contract with his country. Montpellier flanker Fulgence Ouedraogo and Castres winger Remy Grosso helped France secure their place at Rio in the summer before joining their country's Rugby World Cup squad. All those format flip-floppers will have to contend with sevens specialists, men who understand the game's cagey, contact-averse tactics and lactic-heavy physical demands. Wales wing George North has mused on the possibility of joining cyclist girlfriend Becky James in a British Olympic team. Danny Cipriani is interested in being involved after his maverick talents were deemed surplus to England's World Cup requirements. Full-back Stuart Hogg's electric running and courageous tackling for Scotland would surely transfer well to the seven-a-side game. The names come easily. The reality is more complicated. Great Britain qualified for Rio 2016 on the back of England's top-four finish in last season's Sevens World Series and the team will be made up of the best players from England, Scotland and Wales at Rio. However, the chances of recruiting 15-a-side superstars to concentrate on sevens - as Williams has done - is a non-starter for Team GB as they don't have central contracts, while clubs are understandably keen their employees focus on their well-paid day jobs. English club Wasps have indicated that they - and the rest of the Premiership - will adhere to the regulations and only release players two weeks before the tournament. Barring an unforeseen bout of Olympic enthusiasm from clubs in the midst of trying domestic and European campaigns, Great Britain coach Simon Amor is likely to have to wait until the second-tier European Grand Prix Sevens series at least before he can welcome 15-a-side players into the fold. The final leg of that series will take place in Exeter on 9-10 July and Great Britain are hoping their involvement will be confirmed before the end of this year. Amor will then be faced with the unenviable task of condensing players from three different nations and two different formats into one team in less than a month. What Amor would give for the access that Simon Middleton, coach of Great Britain's women's team, has to 15-a-side specialists. A week after England won the Women's Rugby World Cup in August 2014, the Rugby Football Union - mindful of the funding that potential Olympic medals bring to women's rugby - handed 12 of that squad and another eight players contracts to concentrate on sevens full-time. Emily Scarratt, who scored 16 points in that 21-9 World Cup final win over Canada, is captaining England in Dubai, with another five of that historic squad also involved. A Great Britain select seven - including Scots Steph Johnston and Megan Gaffney - also played in an invitational tournament running alongside the main Women's Sevens Series event. Whoever is picked for Rio though, New Zealand will be overwhelming favourites for gold. They have won all three of the Women's World Series titles since the it was introduced in 2012. This season, they have a new recruit with Niall Williams, sister of Sonny Bill, making her debut in Dubai. Emergency services were called to Plas Arthur leisure centre in Llangefni at 10:50 GMT on Wednesday. None of the children are seriously ill, but are being assessed at nearby Ysgol Gyfun Llangefni. An Anglesey council spokesman said it was an "isolated incident" and symptoms were not believed to be serious. The cause of the rashes is not yet clear. The centre's dry side facilities have reopened, but the pool will stay shut for further testing. A woman, 25, was attacked on Sengennydd Road at about 03:00 BST on Friday. Although it is understood the victim does not study at Cardiff University, its students' union has urged people to take care. A spokesman said: "Whilst Cardiff is a safe city, we want to emphasise the importance of taking sensible precautions when out at night." Advice includes planning how to get home ahead of time, staying in pairs when walking at night and sticking to well-lit, populated areas. South Wales Police is investigating the sex attack. The Communication Workers Union (CWU) intends to stage industrial action at the Sheffield South delivery office. Saturday's action would affect the S7 and S8 postcodes said the CWU and was "in support of a former colleague after a misapplication of the disciplinary code". Royal Mail said the injunction would be heard at the High Court on Thursday. More on this and other South Yorkshire stories Parts of Nether Edge will be affected, along with Batemoor, Beauchief, Greenhill, Jordanthorpe, Lowedges, Meersbrook, Norton, Norton Lees, Woodseats and Heeley in the city. A Royal Mail spokesperson said: "Royal Mail has lodged an injunction application at the High Court to prevent the CWU taking strike action. "The court hearing will take place on the afternoon of 16 June. "Any action or threat of industrial action is damaging to our business and our customers and that is why we are taking this action." Mitchell will replace the Rams' second-choice keeper Lee Grant who requires a minor groin operation. The 21-year-old will go straight into the squad for Derby's fixture against Hull on Tuesday. Mitchell made five appearances for the Hatters this season after joining the club on an emergency loan at the beginning of March. Eighteen-year-old goalkeeper Craig King, who has yet to make a senior appearance for the Luton, has subsequently been recalled from his loan spell at Bishop's Stortford. But not Gillian and Craig Kelly - they were given an hour-and-a-half's notice before saying "I do". The couple used to joke that horticulturist Gillian would probably be in her wellies and rocker Craig in his leathers when they finally got around to it, and that is exactly what happened. They imagined their wedding taking place on the beach at Castlerock but they ended up tying the knot in the Northern Ireland Hospice, at Gillian's mum's bedside. Gillian's Disney-mad, poetry-writing mum Margaret Simpson has cancer of the liver, bowel and colon, and she has been living in the hospice since May. The 57-year-old started to deteriorate last week and on Thursday, hospice staff asked the family if they had any more memories left to make. When Margaret was first diagnosed, she said she would like to see her eldest daughter get married and so Gillian knew that simply had to happen. They started planning the wedding for a week's time at the hospice on Belfast's Somerton Road, heading immediately to the City Hall for emergency marriage licences. "We decided to get married at two o'clock last Thursday, and we were ordering cakes by 3.30," she said. "On the way home from the hospice, I stopped to get craft supplies and invites were posted on Friday morning". However, staff became concerned that Margaret was getting too excited - she was inviting all the doctors and nurses, and insisted on getting out of bed to make as many paper flowers as she could during art therapy. They wanted Gillian, 33, and Craig, 27, to "stagger the celebrations" and last Friday afternoon, the couple were told the chaplain had limited availability. "I phoned Craig and told him to get down to the hospice as we were getting married in an hour. I needed a shower and was still in my gardening wellies but I just borrowed some deodorant and moisturiser from mum. "It was a lovely service. Then my dad went out and got donuts and Buck's Fizz". However, there was not much time for celebrating, as the couple had to get "married again" in six days' time on Thursday 6 July. The venue was the same but this time, they had the whole "kit and caboodle" - 40 guests, three cakes, two chocolate fountains, a DJ, orders of service and favours. They had two flowergirls - Craig's six-year-old daughter Sammie and Pip, the family's rescue Jack Russell, who looked the part in a grey bow. In addition to the hospice - they provided the venue, the catering and the music therapist played the flute as they walked in - Gillian said her friends and families rallied to the cause, decorating the room, offering their services up as hairdresser, make-up artist and photographer. "The hospice staff were out of this world," she said. "What they did for my mum was above and beyond. The nurses who looked after her all day weren't even meant to be in work. How am I meant to thank them? A box of chocolates and a card are not going to do it. "My mum was glowing. There wasn't a dry eye but they were happy tears. "It was just magical. It could not have been any better had we spent months planning it." Gillian, a horticulturist, said the most important thing was having all her family there. "We are a small wee family - my mum, dad, sister and me - and we've had a terrible year." She said they were generally a "well family" but within nine months, her dad's diabetes had worsened, her sister had been diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS and she is now waiting on a pacemaker after being diagnosed with heart failure. Then her mum started to feel unwell in September. "Our world stopped when we heard she had terminal cancer. Our illnesses were manageable, liveable. No-one gets out alive but mum is only 57." They were nervous about their mum going into the hospice, which provides care to more than 3,500 children and adults with life-limiting or terminal conditions every year. but Gillian says it has "given her a life". "It's not a place to die, it's a place to live," she said. "It's not a death sentence. It's a place of dignity, respect and comfort. "It sounds so ridiculous and obviously no-one wants to be there but the fact she is there is a godsend." The Environment Committee will examine legislation to ban circuses from using any non-domesticated animal. Following a government consultation, the committee will scrutinise the Wild Animals in Travelling Circuses (Scotland) Bill. The bill would make it an offence to use wild animals in travelling circuses. The Scottish government announced the crackdown last September as part of its legislative programme following a public consultation which overwhelmingly supported a ban. The government consultation in 2014 showed 98% respondents thought the use of wild animals for performance in travelling circuses should be banned and 96.4% thought the use of wild animals for exhibition (without performing) should be banned. Both aspects are covered in the bill, which makes Scotland the first country in the UK to introduce legislation outlawing wild-animal circuses. Last week Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham unveiled the bill, which as well as prohibiting the use of any wild animal in a travelling circus on ethical grounds, also includes the power to enter premises and vehicles in order to search for and examine animals. Convener of the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee Graeme Dey MSP said: "We know that people feel very strongly about protecting wild animals in travelling circuses. "In Scotland, the use of animals in circuses as a form of entertainment is somewhat of a rarity. In fact, such a travelling circus hasn't visited Scotland for many years. "However, if this bill is passed, it will make it an offence for circus operators to use wild animals in travelling circuses in Scotland." But a desire not to talk about death, and in some cases dementia, means many families are left with little detail of what has been organised and paid for. The funeral plan regulator is dealing with hundreds of cases a year, helping grieving families to trace pre-paid funerals. Meanwhile, the Alzheimer's Society says more than one million people in the UK will be living with dementia by 2021, with many facing difficulties conducting their finances successfully. So what can be done by families to prepare for the costs and arrangements when a loved one dies, and is pre-payment of a funeral a good value-for-money option for those wishing to get their affairs in order in later life? The average funeral in the UK costs about £3,700, with funeral directors' fees rising well above the rate of inflation in recent years, according to a recent report by the Commons Work and Pensions Committee. Even "simple" funerals cost more than £1,200, it found, although the financial support available through the benefits system in England and Wales has been frozen. The Scottish government, meanwhile, will hold a national conference on funeral poverty on November 16 in Edinburgh after concerns were raised about rising costs. A report by insurance company SunLife, published this week, suggested that the overall cost of dying - including things such as probate, headstones and flowers in addition to the basic cost of a funeral - has risen by 8.3% in the last year to £8,802. The cost of the funeral itself has gone up by 5.5% in a year, it found. Costs are rising but, it seems, most people are unaware of that happening and few want to think about it. A survey by the Funeral Planning Authority (FPA), which was set up by the pre-paid funeral industry to regulate the sector, found that only 14% of those asked could give an accurate estimate of the cost of a funeral. The sector - serving people who wish to pay for their funeral in advance - is growing, but the FPA says one major problem is that families are unaware of the plans put in place by their late relatives. It takes on about eight to 10 cases every week, aiming to trace the details of funeral plans for grieving families. Families who find details of a funeral plan after they have made alternative arrangements may often, but not always, be given a refund. An administration fee - which can be up to £400 - may be deducted. Source: Funeral Planning Authority Funeral plans - allowing people to pay for their funeral upfront - are sold by specific plan providers and by funeral directors. They allow people to pay in full, or in instalments over a number of years. The money is placed in a trust fund, managed by trustees appointed by the provider, or in an insurance policy that pays out on death. They are not the only option, of course. Consumer group Which?, in its guide on the subject, points out that a life insurance policy, money from an estate and traditional savings accounts can all be used to pay for funerals. Reviews of the industry have been chequered in the past. Open-ended over-50s plans have seen some people pay more than they need to during a long life. Other plans have been criticised for hidden costs or a lack of clarity over what is covered. "It is more important than ever that providers of these prepaid plans are delivering a good quality product and service that consumers can really trust," says Graeme McAusland, chief executive of the FPA. The regulator oversees the work of 22 providers, responsible for about 95% of new sales. It has a set of rules and a code of practice. Mr McAusland says that the paperwork given to those thinking of buying a funeral plan is much better than it was in the past, making clear exactly what people are paying for. In addition to scrutinising accounts and trustees, the regulator reviews companies' literature as part of their annual subscription. Communication between provider and customer is important, as is communication within families. The Alzheimer's Society says that, for those with dementia, even the most straightforward of financial procedures can be difficult. Failure to remember a four-digit Pin or an internet password can prevent people accessing financial services on a daily basis, says the charity's head of policy George McNamara. So, the somewhat more complex financial plans for death require plenty of discussion with family members despite the sensitive and frightening subject matter. The FPA says bereaved families looking for a funeral plan that they think their loved one may have bought should check bank statements for a regular payment to a plan provider. They could also contact local funeral directors to ask whether they have a record of any plans, and talk to other family and particularly friends with whom their loved ones may have talked about funeral arrangements. The FPA also has a tracing service. A Chinese official said the ceremony, due to be held on Thursday, was being postponed "until an appropriate time". Asia's two biggest economies have argued for decades over the Japanese-held islands, known as the Senkaku in Tokyo and the Diaoyu in Beijing. The unpopulated East China Sea islands may be rich in natural resources. Q&A: China-Japan islands row Chinese indignation grew recently when nationalist politicians from Japan visited the chain to commemorate the Japanese dead of World War II, when the country occupied much of eastern China. Thousands of people have attended angry protest rallies in Chinese cities. Japan's coast guard reported 20 Chinese marine surveillance ships in the vicinity of the islands last week. They confirmed to Kyodo news agency on Sunday that the last such vessel had left. The cancellation of Thursday's ceremony was confirmed by the Japanese foreign ministry. Amid the rising tension, China's first aircraft carrier has been handed over to the navy of the People's Liberation Army, state media report. The handover ceremony for the 300m (990ft) ship, a former Soviet carrier called the Varyag, took place in the north-eastern port of Dalian after a lengthy refit by a Chinese shipbuilder. Taiwan also claims the disputed islands, which Beijing maintains are historically part of China. Sunday saw hundreds of slogan-chanting Taiwanese from right-wing parties and civil groups rally in Taipei. They called for a boycott of Japanese goods and brandished anti-Japanese placards during the peaceful march. They went as far as calling for co-operation with the mainland to solve the territorial dispute. The Associated Press news agency reports that a group of Taiwanese fishermen say they will sail 60 boats to the islands on Monday to protect their fishing grounds. An art dealer's estate wants the art-collecting Nahmad family to return the Amadeo Modigliani work, which it claims the Nazis seized in World War Two. The family said International Art Center (IAC) held the work. The papers showed David Nahmad owned that company. Geneva judicial authorities said a "criminal procedure" had begun. Spokesman Henri Della Casa said proceedings had opened "within the framework of the revelations linked to the Panama Papers". He added the 1918 work, Seated Man with a Cane, had been sequestered "late last week" - meaning it cannot be moved from its current location - in the Swiss city's Freeports. The family of Oscar Stettiner, a Jewish art dealer, claimed he originally owned the painting before fleeing Paris in 1939 - an assertion the Nahmad family dispute. Since 2011, Stettiner's grandson Philippe Maestracci has been attempting to recover the work through the US courts. However, US authorities have struggled to establish the ownership of the painting as the Nahmads claimed in court the Panama-based IAC held it. After the leaked papers, obtained along with millions of others by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, revealed Nahmad as the owner of IAC, he told Radio Canada he "could not sleep at night if I knew I owned a looted object". Reacting to the leak, the family's lawyer Richard Golub said it was "irrelevant" who owned the company, as "the main thing is what are the issues in the case, and can the plaintiff prove them?" The deal commits pharmaceutical company Merck to keeping 300,000 vaccines ready for emergency use or further clinical trials. It will also submit an application to license the vaccine by the end of 2017, which would the next step towards enabling Gavi to prepare a global stockpile. More than 11,000 people have died in the latest outbreak in West Africa. The sheer scale of the outbreak - the largest in history - led to an unprecedented push on vaccines, which condensed a decade's work into less than a year. Merck has led trials of the VSV-EBOV vaccine - which combines a fragment of the Ebola virus with another safer virus in order to train the immune system to beat Ebola. Early evidence from studies in West Africa suggest it may give 100% protection, although more data is still being collected. Dr Seth Berkley, the chief executive of Gavi, said: "The suffering caused by the Ebola crisis was a wake-up call to many in the global health community. "New threats require smart solutions, and our innovative financing agreement with Merck will ensure that we are ahead of the curve for future Ebola outbreaks." Gavi, an alliance of public bodies and companies committed to saving lives through vaccination, announced the advanced-purchase commitment at the World Economic Forum held at Davos in the Swiss Alps. The $5m paid to Merck will be offset against any vaccines Gavi orders once the shot is licensed. The World Health Organization declared West Africa Ebola-free last week, after all of the affected countries had gone 42 days without a case. But then, just hours later, a death in Sierra Leone was confirmed to be from Ebola. The WHO has warned more flare-ups are expected. Dr Jeremy Farrar, the director of the Wellcome Trust medical research charity, said VSV-EBOV had shown "remarkable results" and was one of the "few positive outcomes" to emerge from the epidemic. He said: "As we saw with the new confirmed case just last week, the Ebola epidemic is likely to have a long tail and it's possible that several more isolated cases will emerge in the coming weeks and months. "This vaccine, therefore, could still play an important role in containing any additional flare-ups of this outbreak, as well as being available to help prevent future epidemics." Follow James on Twitter. The move was included in the 2016 Scotland Act, which gave a range of new powers to the Scottish Parliament. It gives ministers at Holyrood control over thousands of hectares of rural land and about half of Scotland's foreshore. Leasing the seabed for rights to renewable energy are also included. The assets were worth a total of nearly £272m in 2015-16 and generated a gross annual revenue of £14m. The Scottish government said the transfer would give communities a stronger voice over how those assets were managed. Land Reform Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: "This is a historic day. "The management and resources of the Crown Estate now rest with the people of Scotland and we have a genuine, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use them to change the fabric of Scottish society, placing the needs of local and coastal communities at the centre of our long-term planning for these considerable assets. "From today, decisions about both the day-to-day management and the future of the estate will be taken in Scotland. "This will have positive implications, not only for the many people who live, work or have some other direct connection with the Crown Estate, but for many communities across Scotland." A new body, Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Management), has taken on the role of managing the asset. The Kinghorn lifeboat crew were alerted after receiving a mobile phone call from one of the men aboard the 10ft (3m) tender dinghy. They were found east of the island of Inchkeith, near the main shipping channel, following a search. The RNLI said the two men were cold but uninjured after the incident on Saturday afternoon. Reuben Hudson, 29, from the Heath Town Crew, is banned from the Pendeford, Whitmore Reans and Heath Town areas as well as Wolverhampton city centre. He was also moved away from the city as part of an interim decision in March. The injunctions were introduced by the Home Office in January 2011 to try to break gang culture. Conceived by the previous Labour government and sometimes referred to as "gang Asbos", the injunctions are designed to prevent members from meeting up and to reduce gang-related violence and crime. West Midlands Police said the injunction issued at Birmingham County Court also required Mr Hudson to work with mentors. It is thought to be the first time that requirement has been applied as part of the new injunctions. The mentors are expected to work with Mr Hudson to develop skills and encourage him to stop gang activity. Supt Mark Payne said: "Our priority is to protect the community and at the same time support gang members to exit a lifestyle which has a corrosive impact upon communities. "We continue to work very closely with people in our local communities and our local partners to seek to address the underlying issues. "We are under no illusion that gang tensions remain between gangs in the city and we continue to make every effort to reduce these tensions." The injunction is due to be reviewed in March, but Mr Hudson could face a jail term earlier if it is breached. Karen Samuels, Head of the Community Safety Partnership at Wolverhampton City Council, said it would "pave the way" for similar action against other people associated to gangs in the area. In April last year armed police patrolled the streets of the city after a series of murders and shootings, believed to be gang-related. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says she has gathered enough money to fund a recount in Wisconsin. Donald Trump narrowly beat Hillary Clinton in the state, but two voting rights experts say the result needs to be more closely analysed. There is no indication Mr Trump's win was down to cyberhacking, one of the experts said on Wednesday. One election official in Wisconsin said they are preparing for a possible recount. On Tuesday, New York magazine first reported that a group of experts, led by voting-rights lawyer John Bonifaz and J Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, had contacted Mrs Clinton's campaign. The experts urged her campaign to request recounts in two states narrowly won by Mr Trump - Wisconsin and Pennsylvania - as well as Michigan, where he has a small lead. In a post on Medium on Wednesday, Mr Halderman repeated concerns he has voiced in the past over the vulnerabilities of paperless voting machines. The fact that the results in the three states was different from what polls predicted was "probably not" down to hacking, Mr Halderman said. Concerns over possible Russian interference had been expressed in the run-up to the vote. "The only way to know whether a cyberattack changed the result is to closely examine the available physical evidence ," he wrote. Read more: Fears of a Russian hack There is a deadline for any candidates to demand a recount, and they need to pay fees to file a request. The deadline for Wisconsin is Friday. Pennsylvania's is Monday, and Michigan's is Wednesday. This is where Jill Stein comes in - on her website, she wrote that recounts were needed "to attempt to shine a light on just how untrustworthy the US election system is". By late on Wednesday, she had raised, through a crowdfunding campaign, more than $2.5m (£2m), enough to fund a recount request in Wisconsin. The campaign estimates that up to $7m may be needed to pay for recounts in all three states. Unofficial results from the state showed Mr Trump won by only 27,000 votes, media in the state say. The BBC's results show he won 47.9% of the vote, with 46.9% going to Mrs Clinton (Jill Stein won only 1% of the votes there). Before then, the state had gone with the Democrats for seven elections running. A Clinton victory in Wisconsin alone would not have been enough to overturn Mr Trump's lead - it provides only 10 votes in the crucial electoral college that gave him victory. But wins in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania would have clinched the presidency for the Democrat. The Wisconsin State Journal quoted the state's election commission director Michael Haas as saying that the organisation had not seen "any reason to suspect that any voting equipment has been tampered with". The commission was now preparing for a recount, Mr Haas told the newspaper, that added that such a move would be "unprecedented". Read more: How did Clinton get more votes and lose? Nothing, yet. There has been no official comment from Mr Trump's camp, and while supporters of Mrs Clinton have been taking to social media with the hashtag #AuditTheVote, there has been no formal request for a recount on her side, or the party's. Louis James Young's granddaughter, from Buckinghamshire, sold the rose mounted on a card bearing the inscription "Flowers from the Battlefield". It went under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers in Etwall, Derbyshire. The card was dated June 1917 by Agnes Louisa Young. Their daughter, Lydia Agnes, had died in July 1915. It is likely Mr Young was serving at the front when she died and sent a poignant poem with the flower, a Hansons spokesman said. It reads: "An angel took my flower away, Yet I will not repine, For Jesus in his bosom wears, The flower that once was mine." Mr Young survived two wars unscathed but the Luftwaffe bombed his home during World War Two and it had to be demolished. The house was never rebuilt and is currently a children's playground. "Fortunately the rose, postcard and other documents survived," the spokesman said. "The couple had a second daughter in 1922 who was christened Rosaline, meaning Little Rose." Mark Carney, the Bank of England governor, last week said that a rise in the Bank Rate was "drawing closer". The Money Advice Trust said this offered only a "short window" for people to organise their finances. More than a million mortgage holders have only ever owned a home when rates were falling or frozen at 0.5%. Mr Carney said that the exact timing of the first rise in the Bank Rate could not be "predicted in advance". The decision would be determined by looking at economic data. Some analysts had thought a rise could have come at the turn of the year, but they are now expecting a possible increase in spring from the Bank Rate's record low. Whenever it comes, it will be a new experience for more than a million homeowners making mortgage repayments, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). The last rise in the UK Bank Rate was an increase to 5.75% in July 2007. About 1.8 million homeowners have taken out a mortgage for a new home since then, the CML said, although some would have owned previously then left the market. Many people with debts, most notably a mortgage, could face extra costs when the Bank rate rises, the Money Advice Trust warned. For many of those with home loans, the rising cost would hit when their current deal expired. "There remains only a relatively short window for households to prepare for the impact that higher interest rates will have on their finances," said Jane Tully, head of insight at the Trust, which runs the National Debtline. "Rising interest rates will affect renters too, as many private landlords will pass on their higher mortgage costs to their tenants. "Households need to look at their finances now, to make sure they can absorb these extra costs. Crucially, now is the time to act if you are worried about your ability to meet your repayments." Research by Policis, for the CML, suggests that many homeowners have been taking a safety-first approach to their debt since the financial crisis. "Given the importance of home ownership it is perhaps unsurprising that homeowners, overwhelmingly, regard paying the mortgage as their number one financial priority. Some 69% say that this is the case, substantially ahead of any other category of expenditure," the report said. Tom Bray and Rebecca Francis own a three-bedroom semi-detached home in York. The parents-of-two chose a tracker mortgage when they bought their home in September 2011 because they judged that there would be no rise in the Bank Rate for some time. A couple of months ago, they moved on to a three-year fixed rate deal, believing that a rate rise was "looming" and fixed rate deals looked more attractive. "There is no guarantee, but you have to look at the economic situation," said Mr Bray. Homeowners hurry to remortgage Where can I afford to live? How would a rate rise affect me? The 0.5% Bank Rate has been at a record low since March 2009, but the cost of mortgages has been falling during that time. The latest minutes of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee noted that lenders "did not expect mortgage interest rates to fall much further". In fact, it said that banks' funding costs, an important influence on mortgage rates, had risen since May and "it was possible that mortgage rates would shortly begin to rise". Views from within the industry suggest that homeowners and potential first-time buyers should keep a close eye on the situation, allowing them to decide whether to go for a fixed-rate deal and for how long. Mark Harris, chief executive of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients, said: "History shows us that most borrowers wait until rates are actually rising before making a move to remortgage. Of course, by that point fixed rates will be much more expensive than they are now." But Aaron Strutt, of Trinity Financial mortgage brokers, said: "Unless something drastic happens to the UK economy, it is unlikely mortgage rates will rise significantly until the Bank of England actually increases the base rate. "The price war is still very active." Any rate rise, when it does come, is likely to be gradual, the Bank of England has said. Those who have already paid off their mortgage or are paying for a home in cash in full are far less concerned about any rate rise. Housing commentator Henry Pryor estimated that 40% of buyers each month did not need any mortgage finance, and were known as cash buyers. "These people are not concerned by the threat of rising interest rates, they could rise to 15% and it would have no direct impact," he said. "Traditionally when house prices started to run away, or there was too much froth, generally raising rates would dampen the market taking the heat and enthusiasm with it. Today a significant proportion of the market now waves two fingers at [the Bank on] Threadneedle Street. "Where rising rates may bite however is the buy-to-let market, already pinched by changes in the summer Budget." Mohammad Asghar, the Conservative AM for South Wales East, and Abdul Mujahid, have accused Manzoor Ahmad, Farzand Ali, Shokat Bhutt and Mohammad Ali Hayat of libel. Mr Asghar and Mr Mujahid allege a newsletter claimed they were involved in money laundering and other crimes. All four deny libel. The High Court sitting in Cardiff was told the newsletter was given out at a public meeting in Newport and was also included in a dossier about Mr Asghar given to Welsh Conservatives' leader Andrew RT Davies. William Bennett, representing Mr Asghar and Mr Mujahid, told the court the four men wanted to take over the running of the Jamia and Al Noor mosques from Mr Mujahid. Mr Ahmad said that was not true, but they had wanted the mosques to become more "accountable and transparent", and hold elections. The court heard how, in 2011, Mr Asghar was brought in to act as a mediator in the dispute, because he was a respected figure in the community. Mr Bennett said the four men were unhappy with the way Mr Asghar handled the mediation, and began to "spread lies" about him and Mr Mujahid. The lawyer put it to Mr Ahmad that he sought "to undermine the process of mediation by removing the respect with which Mr Asghar was held in the community" by "spreading lies". "No", replied Mr Ahmad, "no lies were spread". Mr Bennett went on to tell Mr Ahmad that he and the others set out to damage the claimants "at all costs". He said: "A blizzard of accusations about fraud were now swirling around the community and it was [you and the others] who got the snowball rolling". "No", replied Mr Ahmad. Claire Kissin, representing Mr Ahmad and Mr Ali, said the claimants' motivation for bringing the case was retribution. In 2011, an injunction was granted that stopped Mr Asghar and Mr Miujahid from attending prayers at the mosques. It was lifted two days later but Ms Kissin said Mr Asghar had described it as "the worst thing that had happened to him". She told the court: "This claim is an attempt to seek retribution for the injunction proceeding". Earlier, the judge ruled the trial could go ahead today despite the absence from court of Mr Hayat, who was unwell and unable to attend. But the judge, Mr Justice Jeremy Baker, decided the medical evidence submitted to the court "does not justify" Mr Hayat's absence. Ms Kissin told the court the hearing needed to go ahead because "significant cost" had been incurred by the adjournment of the case in July. Whichever party loses the case is likely to be liable for costs worth tens of thousands of pounds. Earlier this year, Mr Asghar and Mr Mujahid were awarded £270,000 in damages from an Urdu newspaper and two of its staff. The judge has already told them it will not be possible for them to receive further damages if they win this case because the allegations are the same. Claims against a fifth man - Mr Javed Javed - will be heard separately. Lawrence Ripple robbed a Kansas City bank, last September, and then waited in the lobby until police came. He told investigators he would rather go to jail than live at home, and now faces up to 20 years. His wife accompanied him to court, but has not commented, reported the Kansas City Star. Mr Ripple handed the bank clerk a note, demanding cash and warning he had a gun, according to court documents. He was passed nearly $3,000 (£2,400), but he did not get far. In the lobby, he stopped, took a seat and told the guard he was the "guy he was looking for". Mr Ripple had also picked a bank with a police station on the same block. A police statement said that Mr Ripple had an argument with his wife earlier in the day. His endorsement came after meeting Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders who has been battling Mrs Clinton for the nomination. Speaking in a video tweeted out by Mrs Clinton, Mr Obama said she may be the most qualified person "ever" for the role of president. The two are set to start campaigning together soon. "I want those of you who've been with me from the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that 'I'm with Her.' I am fired up and cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary," Mr Obama said in the video. "Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders may have been rivals during this primary, but they're both patriots who love this country and they share a vision for the America that we all believe in." The two ran against one another for the Democratic nomination in 2008 and Mr Obama later made Mrs Clinton secretary of state. Speaking to Reuters following the endorsement, Mrs Clinton said Mr Obama's endorsement "means the world". "It is absolutely a joy and an honour that President Obama and I, over the years, have gone from fierce competitors to true friends," she said. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump tweeted that Mr Obama's endorsement means he wants "four more years of Obama" and "nobody else does". Barack Obama is now in the game. In a slickly produced video endorsement, the president has thrown his support behind Hillary Clinton's bid to keep the White House in Democratic hands. Given the high production value of the video, the announcement had obviously been in the works for some time. In fact, astute observers have noted that Mr Obama is sporting the tie he wore on Tuesday. Bernie Sanders has said he will continue to campaign in Washington DC, leading up to the capital city's primary next week - but expect most Democrats to close ranks quickly. The Vermont senator even struck a more conciliatory tone after a meeting at the White House, saying he looks forward to "working together" with the former secretary of state to defeat Donald Trump. Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton will make their first joint appearance together in Wisconsin next week. Before that she's visiting Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Democrats clearly view the general election battleground as the industrial Rust Belt states. And for the first time since 1998 there is a popular, scandal-free second-term incumbent president working hard on the campaign trail to preserve his legacy. What an Obama endorsement will mean for Hillary The MLA for Upper Bann, Dolores Kelly, is now on course to become the SDLP's deputy leader at the party's conference in November. Mr Eastwood received a nomination for the post of deputy leader last month but has now told the BBC he wants to focus on constituency issues. Mr Eastwood was elected in May and, at 28, is among the younger members. Margaret Ritchie announced in September that she was to stand down as leader of the SDLP. She was elected leader in January 2010 but had been under pressure following the party's poor performance in the assembly elections in May. At the beginning of August, party deputy leader Patsy McGlone said he would be challenging her leadership at the party conference in November. Three other party members are also bidding for the leadership: Alasdair McDonnell, Alex Attwood and Conall McDevitt. Williams had been in full-time charge since March 2016, earning a five-year contract after impressing as caretaker. The 37-year-old was joined by former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood as director of football in November. Sherwood took a step back from that role in recent times, but the Robins only won two of their final 11 League One matches on their way to relegation. Williams, who has spent the past four years coaching at the County Ground, said after Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Charlton that he would have a meeting with chairman Lee Power. A statement from the Robins said: "Following our relegation to League Two, reviews have taken place and, as a result, the football club and Luke Williams have mutually agreed to go their separate ways. "The club would also like to confirm that the search for a new candidate to take the club forward is well under way and we will issue a further update in due course." Media playback is not supported on this device Sherwood was named director of football at the County Ground, a move described as "one of the biggest appointments the club has ever made" by Power. The former Spurs manager was given responsibility for "transfers, the way we play, the formations and the picking of the team" - though Williams was kept in his post. Despite an impressive 3-0 win over Charlton in their first game following Sherwood's arrival, the appointment did not result in a sustained improvement in form, as Swindon have won only seven of their 31 games since his hiring. At times, it was unclear whether or not Sherwood was managing the team, though as the season came to its end his first-team responsibilities decreased, and he did not attend all of the Robins' games. But the return to a more conventional coaching structure did not pay dividends, as a four-game winless run sent them down to the fourth tier for the first time since 2012. Andrew Hawes, BBC Wiltshire's Swindon Town commentator With fan frustration writ large at the County Ground, a continuation of the status quo was pretty much impossible. Power has been open about the failure of the club's recruitment over the past year, and the interlude of Sherwood being the pivotal figure at the training ground didn't really help Williams either. That said, questions remain over whether the style of play Williams was wedded to could both develop players for sale and get results in the nether regions of the EFL - both requirements of the job. How much, or little control, his successor gets in the acquisition of new players could well define their fate.

Earlier this month, Barry Lyttle, from Ballycastle, County Antrim, pleaded guilty to recklessly causing grievous bodily harm. He was filmed on CCTV punching his younger brother, Patrick, outside a nightclub in Sydney in January. Patrick Lyttle spent a week in a coma but made a good recovery. He had asked the court to show leniency to his attacker. Outside court, Barry Lyttle said the family was now looking forward to going home to Northern Ireland. He was not charged under new one-punch laws, which have mandatory sentences for alcohol fuelled assaults. Tests had shown he had only a small amount of alcohol in his system. Lyttle was given a 13-month suspended sentence and a good behaviour bond. The magistrate said Lyttle had shown sincere remorse and was unlikely to reoffend. He said: "This would appear not to be an act of alcohol-fuelled violence." But he added that the community should not be subjected to violence and needed a clear message that it was not acceptable. The brothers sat together in court with their father and hugged and cried when the verdict was handed down. After the sentencing, Barry Lyttle said the "saga has been put behind us". "It's been four months of absolute hell for the whole family and myself. "I'd like to thank everybody for the support we've received here and back in Ireland. "I'm also so proud of this man here [Patrick] as he's done incredibly well. "We can go home and kick-start our lives again." Patrick Lyttle said he was grateful his brother had been given a suspended sentence so the family could get their lives back to normal. "[Barry] has been through an awful lot, not just myself," he said. "We're close and we all love each other and that's never changed." He suggested that immigration, rather than trade, would be the biggest issue for the City of London after the UK leaves the European Union. Banks are increasingly becoming technology companies and so they need the best engineers, Mr Staley said. Keeping that talent should be the government's top priority, he added. His comments signal a shift among City groups after suggestions last year that the biggest risk from Brexit was the loss of EU trading rights. Mr Staley told the BBC: "Making sure we have access to the best and brightest of talent around the world coming to London... is perhaps the most important thing for the financial industry, perhaps even more important than passporting." So-called passporting rights allow banks to serve clients across the EU without the need for licences in individual countries. They are considered by some to be vital to London's position as a financial hub. However, Mr Staley, who was speaking at a Brexit event in London, said the strength of the City came from the "intellectual capital" of its workers. For that reason, Google's decision to expand its presence in London was potentially "the most important economic announcement post-Brexit", the Barclays boss said. He added that banks would benefit from the calibre of workers that Google attracts after it made London its second most important development hub outside of San Francisco. It's been commonly assumed that banks are most concerned about their ability to sell their services into the EU from London - so-called "passporting" - but today's comments show priorities are changing as the chances of retaining those rights look all but dead. Both Mr Staley and the chairman of HSBC, Douglas Flint, said that contingency plans to deal with the passporting issue were close to being triggered. Both men seemed sceptical that enough clarity on the future shape of the UK's relationship would emerge in time for them to put on hold plans to move jobs and functions into the EU. Barclays is planning to move at least 150 jobs to Dublin, which will become a fully fledged European subsidiary. HSBC has already announced plans to move 1,000 jobs to Paris. Read more from Simon's blog. Mr Staley said banks would start shifting some operations to the EU "reasonably" soon to avoid disruption after Brexit. The UK has opened formal Brexit talks with the EU, but it is unclear what levels of access businesses will have to EU markets after its departure. Mr Staley was speaking after Brexit Secretary David Davis told the conference in London that the UK's place in the world was being reshaped. "Securing an agreement with the EU within the two-year period about our withdrawal and the shape of our future relationship will be challenging," Mr Davis said. A report commissioned by TheCityUK late last year found that up to 75,000 jobs could be lost in financial services if the UK left the EU single market. The British Bankers Association also warned banks were getting ready to relocate out of the UK to continue serving customers in Europe. Both groups have said recently that access to EU markets and talent are key priorities in the Brexit talks. Mr Fisher faces possible disciplinary action from Labour over complaints he urged support for another party's candidate at the general election. The former chairman of the Labour Parliamentary Party Lord Soley said Mr Corbyn had employed someone who had been "slagging off Labour candidates". Mr Corbyn has said he has "full confidence" in Mr Fisher. Mr Fisher had faced calls for his expulsion after suggesting in a tweet in August 2014 that voters in Croydon South should back a candidate from the Class War anarchist group in May's election instead of Labour's candidate. A report from Labour's ruling National Executive Committee is pending. Labour's official candidate in Croydon South, Emily Benn, granddaughter of Mr Corbyn's political mentor Tony Benn, lodged a formal complaint about the tweet. Mr Fisher has "completely and unreservedly" apologised for the tweet, which he claimed had been "misinterpreted". Lord Soley told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We don't want people who have been slagging off Labour candidates and telling them not to vote Labour. "What I am angry about is we are betraying the very people who voted Labour in the hope they would get a Labour government. "Going on like this, we will continue to keep the Conservatives in power." But former London mayor Ken Livingstone dismissed the complaint against Mr Fisher as a "complete nonsense" and accused "Blairite MPs" of trying to undermine Mr Corbyn's leadership. "The MPs who have taken this up and the people driving this aren't really terribly concerned with this one individual, they are trying to undermine the leader who has just been elected and that's completely unacceptable," he told the BBC. The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) said the animal had found its way down a manhole and into a narrow pipe over two metres below the ground on Thursday afternoon. The rescue operation was "a bit of a head scratcher," said a post on the NIFRS West Facebook page. One of the fire fighters tried his best "mother sheep impression". But, when that did not work, the crew turned to modern technology - an app that imitated sheep noises - to coax the lamb out. This got the lamb to shimmy further up the pipe, though not quite close enough to be grabbed by the fire fighters. They then called in a local farmer and his trained sheep dog - and they helped retrieve the lamb and bring it to safety. Harold Crawford said: "I brought the old dog and the young dog, I brought the old dog for he's a jealous old dog but I thought the young dog would be the better dog, for he's thinner." However it transpired that the older dog, Rover, took the main role in the rescue at its own insistence, despite his wider girth. "Rover, he looked at it, and looked at me and I just said 'away with ye' and away he went." Rover and the lamb emerged from the pipe a few seconds later. "I don't know where he gets his energy from for he'd need to go on a diet," added Harold. In the post, the NIFRS was quick to point out that the fire appliance was available for emergencies throughout the operation. "Usually when we post about incidents like this we attract the occasional comment about waste of resources etc, so just to assure everyone that the appliance was available for emergencies throughout," it said. "We liaise with other agencies such as USPCA and an officer attends incidents such as this to assess, and we only commit resources if it is warranted." The spokesperson added: "At this time of year we are reminding the farming community to 'think safety first' and to ensure that potential hazards such as broken fences, drains and ditches are properly maintained. "Animals in distress can pose a serious risk to the public or anyone attempting to rescue them. "Firefighters would rather members of the public call for assistance than tackle a serious animal rescue themselves as it may result in individuals placing themselves, and others in danger. "We will do what we can to help keep the farming community and their livestock safe." Former Aston Villa manager Lambert, 47, who won the European Cup in his playing days with Borussia Dortmund, is already conditioned to the concept of what he calls "the German model". He will work alongside sporting director Kevin Thelwell at Molineux. "I've seen how it can benefit. It takes a bit of pressure off dealing with certain things," Lambert told BBC WM. "I'm pretty sure I'll have a major say in what's going on at this club. It would be wrong if I'm not. "I know the German model, with a sporting director, and how it works, and I'm looking forward to working closely with Kevin." After a summer transfer window in which Wolves made 12 signings, the club's new owners Fosun International gave Walter Zenga just 14 games before deciding their wholesale changes had not worked. It is reported that funds are there for Lambert to spend again in January but, although he expects the right of veto over signings, he does not guarantee new arrivals - especially if there is an upturn in form. "I need to be fair to the lads I've already got here," Lambert added. "Some will go with it, some will maybe struggle." Paul Lambert has taken over a side lying 19th in the Championship. But he only has to look at the impact Steve Bruce has had across the West Midlands at Villa - and he knows clubs have come from further back than Wolves to win promotion. "I don't see why we can't make a run of it," said Lambert. "There are still a lot of games to play. It's an unforgiving league because of the amount of games, but anybody who puts a run on can get in there. "There's a great expectancy level. But I need a club with an expectancy level. I've always been at clubs where expectancy levels are really high. I enjoy the pressure of it. "But I need to try and make the players hungry for success. I know we need to do better than what we're doing to get out of this league." Rob Edwards, who was promoted to number two under Walter Zenga, had been caretaker boss for the last two games, since the Italian's departure. The Telford-born Wales international defender, 33, played for Aston Villa, Wolves, Blackpool and Barnsley, also briefly playing for Lambert on loan at Norwich in 2011, prior to his premature retirement with a knee injury. Former central defender Stuart Taylor, 41, spent his playing career in Scotland with St Mirren, Airdrie, Falkirk, Partick Thistle, St Johnstone, Ross County and Hamilton Academical. He managed Limerick in the League Of Ireland before working with Lambert as part of Villa's development squad. Mike Taylor, BBC WM Paul Lambert appeared relaxed, refreshed and reassured at his press conference, cutting a rather different figure to when he was last seen in this region at Villa. He pronounced himself satisfied with the structure of the club that he would be joining, and made it clear - politely, but plainly - that he would be the controlling influence on the team and transfer dealings. Kevin Thelwell, the club's sporting director, also spoke impressively as he handled some pointed questioning about the club's methods since the takeover in the summer. Thelwell led the club to the important recruitment of Kenny Jackett three years ago, and has taken the lead in bringing Lambert to Molineux. Like Lambert, he laid out clear demarcation lines in public and, with those established, Wolves supporters have every reason to feel optimistic about the appointment. Eavis, 78, appeared at the Left Field political forum, where Labour MP Benn had made regular appearances over the past 12 years. "What a fantastic fellow," said Eavis. "Highly principled. A conviction politician. He didn't do what was popular, he did what was right. "We're going to miss him so much. How can we replace him, I ask you?" The festival is also renaming the 21-metre Left Field Tower after the late politician and anti-war campaigner. The structure, topped with a bright red star, was originally built in 2004 by GMB apprentices from the Appledore shipyard in Devon, who were fighting against the threat of closure. It will now be called the Benn Tower of Strength, Eavis announced. The structure has been decorated with pictures of people from all races and creeds tugging on a rope. "It's all about people pulling together," Eavis explained. Writing in the official Glastonbury programme, Michael's daughter Emily Eavis said: "Tony Benn was a true inspiration and great friend of the festival. A regular speaker in the left field, he loved coming here every year. "As a tribute, working closely with the late politician's family, we have renamed the Left Field Tower. "Heralded as a 'tower of strength' by Tony Benn at its launch in 2004, it lies at the heart of the festival." Billy Bragg also paid tribute, saying Benn had been "a massive presence at Left Field since the early days". In a column for the festival's free newspaper, the protest singer wrote: "When asked to suggest an epitaph for himself, [Tony] suggested that he'd like his gravestone to read 'He encouraged us'. "At Left Field we aim to carry on his work by offering encouragement to those who are weary from the long struggle for a fairer society." The 2014 Glastonbury Festival runs at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset until Sunday. The 25-year-old is currently playing in Australia's National Rugby League with Wests Tigers, having joined them from South Sydney last year. New Zealand-born Pettybourne will remain in Sydney for the remainder of the NRL season, before linking up with the Warriors in November. "I just feel time is right now as I have always been interested in playing overseas," he said. "I have spoken to [Wigan coach] Shaun Wane and have been extremely impressed in what he has had to say. "It's very exciting and I am looking forward to joining Wigan but at the same time I will be focused on doing my very best for the Wests Tigers for the remainder of this season." Wane said Pettybourne, who was a member of New Zealand's Four Nations squad in 2009, was a player he had admired for a number of years. "Due to his powerful running style, aggression in defence and his overall desire to compete, I am sure he will become a firm favourite with our fans," he added. "His personality and age will fit into the Wigan way, the culture we are building and he will add a great deal to the club." Wigan will lose forwards Lee Mossop and Gareth Hock, who is currently on a season-long loan at Widnes, to Parramatta Eels at the end of the Super League season, while prop Paul Prescott was forced to announce his retirement on Thursday because of injury. Amodu, who passed away in his sleep in the Nigerian city of Benin, was tucked in the traditional white shroud (kafan) used to wrap bodies, and was buried in a wooden coffin in line with Islamic burial custom. Islamic prayers were read as he was laid to rest in his home village in accordance with his last wishes. The burial was attended by his friends and family, as well as Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) official Mohammed Sanusi, dignitaries from the state government and by traditional leaders from Okpella itself. Mr Adams Oshiomhole, Edo State governor, also attended, representing Nigeria's president Muhammadu Buhari. Ahmed Shehu, the Islamic cleric who led prayers, paid tribute to Amodu and described him as a "great son" of Okpella. "Shuaibu [Amodu] was only here on earth for a short time but made a great impact," Shehu said. "His journey ends here but not his memories because he died a great son of Okpella. NFF general secretary Sanusi said the football authority will forever be grateful to Amodu for his amazing service to Nigerian and African football. "He lived for his family and football, Amodu gave his heart and soul to Nigerian football and we can never thank him enough," Sanusi told BBC Sport. "We pray Almighty Allah grants him a place in Jannat-ul-Firdaus [paradise]." The NFF technical director before his death, Amodu, who first took charge of Nigeria at the age of 36, coached Nigeria on four different occasions. He helped the country to qualify for the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea and led them to a third-place finish in the 2002 Nations Cup. Under his stewardship, Nigeria qualified for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa but Amodu was sacked despite the team's third-place finish at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola. It was the second time he had been removed from his post ahead of a World Cup finals tournament - Amodu was also fired ahead of the 2002 edition after Nigeria finished third at the 2002 Nations Cup in Mali. News of Amodu's death came just three days after the death of another former Nigeria coach, Stephen Keshi. A number of Super Eagles players, both past and present have paid tribute to the former coach on social media, including Nwankwo Kanu,Joseph Yobo,Elderson Echiejile,Ogenyi Onazi,Brown Ideye and Leon Balogun. Dale Gordon, known as "Deezy", was attacked on Netherbury Close, Gorton on Saturday night and died in hospital on Sunday. Police said his death was being treated as murder and a post-mortem examination was due to take place. The rapper appeared on Greater Manchester Police's wanted website in June over an alleged assault. Kira Martin, a friend of the musician, said: "He was amazing. His music touched everyone; he was just raw talent." Another friend Jerrell Barnwell said: "Everyone has their own faults and mistakes but Dale never let that drag him down. "He was always a good guy, always on the up and up and every time I'd see him he was positive." Mr Gordon's attackers, who struck at about 22:15 GMT on Saturday, have been described as tall, in their mid-20s and wearing dark clothing. Police said one was dark-skinned and the other was black. Det Ch Insp Howard Millington said there had been "some kind of fight between the victim and the men who were seen to flee from the scene in a silver car". "We are appealing for the public's help [as] the incident happened outside on a residential street. "Did you see a silver car leaving the scene at speed or other cars parked up on the street? You may think that what you saw is only trivial, but it could be vital." Security sources say 15 soldiers and two civilians died when gunmen attacked checkpoints around the town of Sheikh Zuweid on Thursday. Egyptian forces have been fighting a faction affiliated to the Islamic State group, known as Sinai Province. Dozens of soldiers and civilians have already been killed this year in northern Sinai. In the latest incident, gunmen fired on soldiers with automatic rifles and rockets as part of a co-ordinated set of attacks, police officials say. The army claimed to have killed at least 70 suspected militants in March. Sinai Province was known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdis until it pledged allegiance to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in November. It said it was behind most of the major attacks in Sinai, including a series of strikes that left at least 30 people dead on 29 January. Militants based in Sinai have killed hundreds of soldiers and police since the military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013. Webb, 27, had surgery after turning his right ankle in Wales' 32-8 defeat by Australia on 5 November. A Welsh Rugby Union statement said he was expected to be out for 12 weeks, but Webb could feature on 21 January. "He's going to be coming back into units this week. It won't be heavy. We'll be building him up," Tandy said. Ospreys face Lyon at the Liberty Stadium on 15 January before travelling to Kingston Park six days later to face the Falcons. "I don't think he'll be too far away for the second [European] game," Tandy continued. "We need to make sure that when Webby comes back in, we manage him, do it appropriately and make sure his condition is up and running, not that that will be an issue. "We need to make sure he's physically right and ensure he's at the forefront of the decisions we make." Tandy said Webb, who spent much of the 2015-16 season on the sidelines after damaging ankle and knee ligaments in Wales' pre-2015 World Cup match against Italy, was eager to return. "I've no doubt he will be probably asking for selection sooner than he will get it," Tandy added. "We're pretty comfortable with our number nines at the minute with Tom Habberfield and Brendon Leonard, but it's always great to see someone like Webby." The National Association of Head Teachers said reducing the per-place funding for such units from £10,000 to £6,000 a year would be "disastrous". It also said the plans would not address the wide disparity in funding for children with similar needs. The government says it has boosted high needs funding by £90m this year. In its report, Getting it right: Funding pupils with complex needs, the NAHT looks at the impact of the proposed changes to the funding for children with high special educational needs. The changes include basing the way funds are allocated to local authorities on the number of two- to 18-year-olds in the area. This will then be modified by three factors - the number of children in bad health or on a disability benefit, low attainment and deprivation levels in the area. But the NAHT says the proposals do not address the so-called "top up" funding for children with very complex needs, where there are big differences in funding. The variability in funding levels means children with very similar needs could attract £2,000 of education funding in one local authority but £20,000 in another. "This is clearly unacceptable and the DfE needs to develop parameters and controls to ensure that funding is fairly distributed within local authorities," the NAHT said. Kim Johnson, president of NAHT and principal of Bradfields Specialist SEN Academy, says: "Those of us who are passionate about the education of children with high and complex needs have been pressing for this review of high needs funding for a long time. "We desperately need a new approach that creates greater consistency and transparency. "But we also need to be mindful that local authorities have taken very different approaches and that the transition to such an approach could result in some significant changes." The NAHT also opposes plans to cut funding for special units within mainstream schools from £10,000 to £6,000 per pupil. "Such a move would be disastrous for such units, leading to potential closures," the heads' union said. Heads say basing the funding of the centre on the provision itself, rather than the number of pupils attending, would place provision on a stable basis. Chris Hill, head teacher at Hounslow Town Primary School, says: "The place funding, rather than pupil-led funding, helps to create stability. "But if this were to change, as currently proposed in the consultation, it would threaten the viability of our centre as the drop from 20 pupils to 14-15 in any one year would be a very big financial hit." A Department for Education spokesperson said every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves an excellent education that allows them to fulfil their potential. "That is why we've protected the overall school budget and increased the funding for children and young people with high needs by over £90 million this year. "We have consulted on proposals to make funding fairer for schools and pupils with high needs - this included some changes to the way that schools with special units might be funded. "We are currently considering the responses to that consultation, so any suggestions are purely speculative." The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said just £35bn of cuts had already happened, with £55bn yet to come. The detail of reductions had not yet been spelled out, IFS director Paul Johnson said. As a result, he said it would be wrong to describe them as "unachievable". However, voters would be justified in asking whether the chancellor was planning "a fundamental reimagining of the role of the state", Mr Johnson told a briefing in central London on Thursday. If reductions in departmental spending were to continue at the same pace after the May 2015 election as they had over the past four years, welfare cuts or tax rises worth about £21bn a year would be needed by 2019-20, at a time when the Conservatives were committed to income tax cuts worth £7bn, according to the IFS. Mr Johnson added: "One thing is for sure - if we move in anything like this direction, whilst continuing to protect health and pensions, the role and shape of the state will have changed beyond recognition." Asked about spending cuts to come in the next parliament, Mr Osborne told BBC Radio 4's Today programme earlier: "I think we should have a balanced package, which includes savings on welfare, it includes difficult things like freezing working age benefits, but the alternative is that the poorest in our country would suffer most as the economy went back into crisis'. Shadow chancellor Ed Balls said that Labour would clear the deficit in the next parliament but would make "different and fairer choices" to the Conservatives. Mr Johnson said the plans set out in the Autumn Statement implied "a slight increase in the speed of proposed spending cuts after 2015-16", extending the expected period of reductions in state spending for a further year beyond 2017-18, Mr Johnson said. To achieve the Office for Budget Responsibility's forecast of a budget surplus of £23bn by 2019-20 would require "spending cuts on a colossal scale ... taking total government spending to its lowest level as a proportion of national income since before the last war," he said. On the measure of total government spending minus spending on debt interest, public expenditure was down by £11bn over the four years to 2014-15, but was set to fall by a further £38bn in the five years to 2019-20. "There is no spending dividend on the horizon; far from it," Mr Johnson warned. "There are huge cuts to come. On these plans, whatever way you look at it, we are considerably less than halfway through the cuts." He added that if healthcare and state pensions were protected from cuts after the election in the same way they had been by the coalition government since it was elected in 2010, they could be expected to account for a third of all state spending by 2019-20 - up from a quarter before the crisis - before any additional spending on the NHS was factored in. Mr Osborne's failure to meet his initial target of eliminating the deficit by the end of the Parliament was "emphatically not" a result of the government holding back on spending cuts, said the IFS. The "disappointing" outcome on the deficit - which fell just £6bn to more than £90bn this year - was "because the economy performed so poorly in the first half of the Parliament, hitting revenues very hard", said Mr Johnson. In addition, tax revenues are not expected to rebound to pre-crisis levels, the forecaster estimated. The IFS said the reform of stamp duty was welcome but modest, turning a "very bad tax" into just a "bad tax". The Institute argued that properties shouldn't just be taxed when they changed hands, but on a regular basis, every year for example. Despite the reforms making house purchases cheaper for 98% of home-buyers, revenues from residential stamp duty were still forecast to increase from £7bn in 2013-14 to £16bn in 2019-20, the IFS noted. In November, Whirlpool - the owner of the Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda brands - revealed the massive repair campaign following fires in owners' homes. Initially, those with affected models have a 10-week wait for a call from the company. They then face a long waiting list for a technician to visit their home. Whirlpool bought manufacturer Indesit, including the Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda brands, in October 2014. Investigations into reports of fires led eventually to the alert and repair programme covering these brands' dryers sold over more than a decade, from April 2004 to September 2015. Some owners have reported their homes being damaged and destroyed, even after this repair campaign has got under way. The company said it had been in contact with 3.4 million customers, with others being urged to check their models. But they are being told that after making the initial contact, customers must wait about 10 weeks before being told of an estimated date for a visit from an engineer. That date, for those registering now to have an engineer visit their home, is close to nine months, making an 11-month wait overall. Among those on the waiting list are Joe and Lesley Crawford, from Liverpool, who have had their dryer for about five years. They have two sons, aged five and three, so use the dryer a lot during the wetter months. "I checked the model number and it came up as one that could be dangerous," said Joe, a 39-year-old graphic designer. "I received an email, and I thought it was a mistake at first, but it actually said that an engineer would get to us in December. "The dryer is in the garage, so am I supposed to sit out there when it is on?" He argued that people should be given a free replacement, rather than money off a new model which is being offered by the company - a move he described as "turning a crisis into an opportunity". Whirlpool said: "Given the large number of dryers affected, we know our customers are experiencing delays. We apologise for this inconvenience and are working hard to improve response times. "We are working on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning the that earlier customers register, the shorter they will have to wait for a modification." Whirlpool said it was aiming to recruit and train a further 350 engineers by the end of March, a rise of 35% on the current number. Some 5.3 million faulty appliances were manufactured between April 2004 and September 2015 and sold in the UK. The company said that more than a million were estimated to have been replaced or are no longer used by owners. The remainder require a modification that will see an engineer replace the back panel and rear drum seal. Affected brands are Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda, Swan and Proline. Owners can check if their appliance is affected by visiting the Hotpoint model checker or the Indesit model checker. The model number, usually found on the back of the dryer door, can be entered in the online checker. There is also a helpline - 0800 151 0905. Owners are being told they can still use their dryers, but they should clean the lint filter after every use, and never run the dryers while they are out of the house or asleep. Those whose dryer is more than one year old are being offered a new dryer at a cut price. The decision to conduct a repair programme rather than a full recall was agreed with Trading Standards officers. In a statement to the Business Select Committee, Trading Standards said: "The company continue to remain in regular dialogue with the authority, during which progress is monitored and reviewed. "Part of this agreement was to organise an outreaching repair campaign to modify the affected products, rather than a product recall." A full recall would have meant that customers might have been given a refund, a replacement, or a partial refund for older models. However, Trading Standards might have had to prove in court that such a move, rather than a modification programme, was a proportionate response. The safety campaign has been extended to Proline and Swan brands of tumble dryer. The two brands are not owned by Whirlpool, but are part of the safety issue. The owners of 17,000 Swan appliances manufactured and sold through Shop Direct have been contacted directly. Some 41,000 Proline tumble dryers were manufactured and sold by the KESA Group between 2004 and 2005. It is estimated that about 14,500 are potentially still in use. Efforts are being made to contact the owners of these appliances and to install modifications.

Police said around 20 windows at the property were smashed as well as a number of pottery items. It happened in the Brook road area of Donemana sometime over the weekend. Artist Tom Agnew has housed his work there for 40 years. He said the damage will not be covered by his insurance company. "They used a cocktail of ammunition to put the windows in, rocks and tiles and even some of my own stock. "As I look around there's glass absolutely everywhere. "Kids are kids but it's pretty obvious that this building is occupied and someone is making a living." Mr Agnew said it was not the first time the studio had been targeted. "I had a similar incident 25 years ago but it's very disappointing and I could be doing without it particularly at this time of year," he said. "Based on previous experience is to just get on with things and carry on. I wont have any cover for criminal damage on my insurance." The 49-year-old was attacked at about 06:10 GMT on Thursday on Hylton Avenue. Members of the public tried to intervene to help the man who had "significant" head injuries. Police said he remains in a critical condition in James Cook University Hospital. Three men, aged 29, 30 and 51, have been arrested and bailed on suspicion of assault. Officers forced entry to The Lectern in Pelham Terrace, Lewes Road, which had 30 people inside. Two people received hospital treatment for injuries thought to have been caused at the squat. Several had injuries but refused medical treatment. Five of the occupants were arrested on suspicion of abstracting electricity. They included one man who was found hiding in the building after a police search. Four men aged 25, 21, 27 and 42 and one women aged 21 are in custody. A Sussex Police spokesman said at the height of the raid, at 10:28 GMT, 20 officers were at the scene. Officers had been called to reports of three separate incidents of violence overnight on Saturday but no-one from the squat would give any information. Chief Insp Katy Woolford said the building was in a state of squalor. "The internal fabric had been smashed, graffiti was sprayed on most walls and fixtures inside were destroyed," she said. "We have made arrangements for the building to be secured to stop re-entry and to prevent any further disruption to the local community." Power tools believed to have been stolen from vans in the Brighton are were found during the police search. Anyone who believes the tools may be theirs is asked to contact Sussex Police. The Pirates Of The Caribbean star arrived for the launch of the Laurus Trust at Cheadle Hulme High School in Greater Manchester. The trust aims to get students to explore and enjoy drama. Bloom said: "Studying the art of performance changed my life forever, opening the door to the career I love." The workshops were run by Bloom's former acting coach Patsy Rodenburg and he was joined by stage star Paapa Essiedu. Bloom added: "I believe that every student, regardless of where they went to school, deserves the chance to learn these skills and it's fantastic that Patsy and the Laurus Trust are placing such importance on this area. "The focus on core areas like presence, rhetoric and performance is really giving these students the tools to succeed, whether its acting on stage or competing for the best jobs and university places." Patsy Rodenburg - who taught both Bloom and Essiedu when they were drama students - worked with the education team from the Royal Shakespeare Company to run a series of sessions at the school. Head teacher Linda Magrath said: "This was a fantastic occasion for all the students. It's not every day that stars like Orlando and Paapa drop into our school! "We are proud that Cheadle Hulme High School sits at the very heart of the Laurus Trust, which has big, exciting plans to really drive excellence in education in the North West. "Our students and teachers already achieve outstanding results. This new approach and investment will take us to the next level." The 22-year-old, who scored 16 goals for the League Two Robins last season, has signed a three-year contract. He started his career at Crewe and has made 93 appearances since joining Cheltenham in July 2015. "He was a key target for us and we feel he will provide a good balance to the other strikers we have at the club," said Northampton boss Justin Edinburgh.

The explosion at Llan Colliery, Gwaelod-y-Garth, was described as the most serious pit disaster of the year, with a 12-year-old boy among the dead. Defective ventilation caused the blast and the overman in charge of the colliery was found to be negligent. The service took place at Main Road, Gwaelod-y-Garth, at 11:00 GMT. The pit was opened in 1872 by TW Booker and employed 300 people. Ms Knox, 80, who plays Rita Tanner in the ITV soap, was charged after being held at a police station in Knutsford, Cheshire, on 10 March. She had gone there after her daughter, Maxine Ashcroft, 56, was earlier arrested for the same offence. Ms Knox, who was represented by lawyer Nick Freeman, nicknamed Mr Loophole, will go on trial in July at Macclesfield Magistrates' Court. The exact date of the trial has yet to be confirmed. Coronation Street said the case was a private and personal matter and it would not be commenting. Ashcroft, from Lechlade, Gloucestershire, was banned from driving for two years in a hearing at the same court earlier this month. The shipment coincides with the deployment of a US infantry division and Nato navy drills in the Black Sea. Although a ceasefire is in place in Ukraine, the conflict has heightened distrust between Russia and the West. Russia said on Tuesday it was pulling out of a European arms control pact. The Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty, signed in 1990 as the Cold War was coming to an end, was originally aimed at limiting the numbers of tanks, combat aircraft and heavy artillery between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ural mountains in Russia. Russia had already suspended involvement in 2007, and the foreign ministry in Moscow said the practical work of the treaty's consultative group in Vienna had been almost entirely wound down. But the announcement came within hours of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov launching an attack on the European Union. "EU bureaucrats in Brussels are intentionally escalating confrontation between Russia and the EU," he said, complaining that they were trying to postpone the political terms of the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine. He also singled out European Council President Donald Tusk, accusing him of apologising to US President Barack Obama for the EU not acting as swiftly against Russia as the US. The former Polish prime minister said in Washington that if the EU and US were united they would be able to "put a stop to the aggressive policy of Russia against her neighbours". Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said on Monday night that government forces had withdrawn most of their rocket and heavy artillery systems, while pro-Russian rebels had also "withdrawn a significant amount". However, there is widespread concern among the governments of the Baltic states at Russia's involvement in eastern Ukraine. The Kremlin says its forces have not been directly involved in combat, but its denials have been rejected by Ukraine, the West and independent experts. UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said on Tuesday that President Vladimir Putin's actions "fundamentally undermine the security of sovereign nations of Eastern Europe". Lithuania is bringing back conscription and President Dalia Grybauskaite told the BBC last week that the threats to her country's security were "very real". She spoke of increased Russian military activity in the Baltic Sea and across the border in the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. Russian soldiers also took part in drills in the Pskov region that borders Estonia and Latvia last month. And last September an Estonian security service official was seized by Russian agents and taken to Moscow. A US military official told the BBC that some 250 heavy vehicles, out of a total of 750 vehicles, were arriving in the Latvian capital, Riga, and in northern Germany, and would be "pre-positioned for deployment so we can more quickly react to crises". The hardware would be based in the Baltics and Poland for the 90-day Nato training exercise, but would then be spread throughout Europe in "controlled storage". Arrangements still had to be made with host nations, he said. A Nato naval exercise was also under way in the Black Sea on Tuesday, involving seven members of the Western alliance including Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey. Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine a year ago has alarmed Nato. Last week Russia began military exercises in several southern areas, including Crimea and the pro-Russian breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia. Inverness-based chartered accountant Gary Campbell, the keeper of the register, has logged more than 1,077 sightings since the record started. He has accepted one sighting so far this year, from a visitor to the Highlands from Texas. The tourist took photographs of a dark object which she said was just under the surface of the loch and following the boat she was on. Last year, five sightings were accepted for the register - the most in 13 years. Mr Campbell, who believes a large fish or eel is behind the monster claims, said the majority of sightings were not included because they could be explained. He said: "Anything that is later proved to a hoax or can be subsequently explained is removed from the register. "When I started the register I never expected to be doing it this long but after 20 years nobody has solved it - so I expect I will be doing this to the day I die." Oliver Smith, 15, from Derbyshire, was told by medics he could have died after the accident just over six weeks ago. The teenager "tore his arm apart" when the brakes failed on the bicycle he was riding and he crashed into a window. Oliver's teacher made the finger after seeing him struggling to type, meaning he can now work towards his GCSEs. Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands. Oliver had been trying to fix the brakes on his friend's bike prior to the crash. In trying to stop the bike the teenager put his arms out and his right hand went through a glass window, severing a main artery and two arm nerves. Doctors managed to save his arm but said he may only ever regain 40 to 70% of feeling in his right hand. "I didn't feel it because my nerve had been cut. I just pulled my arm out but doing that tore my arm apart," Oliver said. "My first thought was that I was going to die." James Wheldon, a design technology teacher at St John Houghton Catholic Voluntary Academy, Kirk Hallam, made the finger as Oliver is right handed and could not write. The invention means he can now type with two hands to do his GCSE coursework. Next year he will have a scribe for his exams. Mr Wheldon drilled a hole in the end of Oliver's splint and the finger attaches there. Oliver, from Ilkeston, said: "It's made life much easier, although it's taken a while to get used to. I'm really grateful to him." The head coach laughed off the suggestion he himself is under pressure after Cardiff conceded six goals in their two latest Championship defeats. But like all their rivals he admits Cardiff are under pressure. "We need to turn that pressure into a positive feeling and a positive thing," he said. Trollope says no-one is more frustrated and disappointed than himself following the 3-2 defeat at Norwich last Saturday and Tuesday's 3-0 loss at Preston. After events at Preston, Trollope apologised to the Bluebirds' travelling fans. Ahead of Saturday's chance for redemption against Leeds, he said: "I think every manager in the Championship is under pressure, whether you're in the top two, in the bottom three or in the middle of the league. "There's probably four or five Championship teams in the bottom half with greater expectations, ourselves being one of them. "You have to look at yourself and get your own house in order and that's our focus. "We've got some business to put right after a disappointing couple of weeks so that's our focus, making sure we're fresh, we play with a big hunger a big desire and we're tactically ready as well." Former Swansea City manager Garry Monk returns to south Wales for the first time since his departure from the the Premier League club. Trollope says Monk's historic links with Cardiff's arch rivals could enhance the traditional rivalry between the Bluebirds and Leeds. "He's well known in south Wales and hopefully he won't be enjoying his trip back this time," said Trollope. "I'm fully aware the rivalry between the clubs, if adds a bit of spice then bring it on." Defender Joe Bennett, who joined on a three-year deal from Aston Villa in August, is not expected to return to full training until next week. Hoolet Row, in Chatelherault Country Park, near Hamilton, was named after the owls which nested nearby. Now the site is covered thickly in trees and not much light filters through them. It is pretty silent and hard to imagine that this place would once have been alive to the sound of people. "This was a nice tidy row of cottages until the late 1950s really when it was cleared for this new tree planting," says Malcolm Muir, countryside and greenspace manager at South Lanarkshire Council. "At that time, it sat at the bottom of a beautiful natural woodland, which came down from the heights of the Avon gorge, a wee track wended up to the top, past a well and in the front there were drying greens that ran down to the beautiful river Avon." The "Capturing the Past" project is being led by Clyde and Avon Valley Landscape Partnership (CAVLP Heritage). It aims to explore the area's industrial, horticultural and agricultural past. At the present day Hoolet Row site only the odd stone pokes through a thick bed of leaves and moss, marking where the foundations of the houses once stood. The well which supplied them with water is still there and then there is an incongruous sight - part of an old bedstead leaning against a tree. "It's just sitting in the forest," says CAVLP Heritage officer Dr Paul Murtagh. "It's an absolutely beautiful bed, carved roses and flowers on it and you can imagine the people that were maybe born or even died in this bed, It's a very poignant piece of archaeology that very rarely survives." Over the next three years the team is aiming to get a clearer picture of how people lived and worked in the area by exploring and recording the archaeology, much of which has never been recorded before. They will also use old photos, maps and memories and they want volunteers to get involved. It is just a few metres from Hoolet Row to the entrance of what was an old colliery. Nature has reclaimed it and it is hard to see what it once was. The mine was known for a disaster which occurred there in the 1840s which killed a number of people. Dr Murtagh says stories like these still resonate. "Places like this, even though there's very little to be seen, just a few humps and bumps, these are places that tell us a much bigger story about the landscape, but also about the history of Scotland," he says. Mr Corbyn urged the former Labour prime minister to "respect" the referendum result and work on helping to define the UK's future EU relationship. In a speech on Friday, Mr Blair said that a weakened Labour Party was acting as "the facilitator of Brexit". But Mr Corbyn said: "We are going to be outside the European Union." Speaking in the City of London, Mr Blair said that the British people had made the referendum decision without knowing on what terms Britain would leave the European Union. He said pro-Europeans needed to build a movement across party lines to challenge Brexit, in the absence of effective opposition in Westminster. "The debilitation of the Labour Party is the facilitator of Brexit. I hate to say that, but it is true," he said. Mr Corbyn told reporters at the party's conference on local government at Warwick University on Saturday: "Well, it's not helpful. "The referendum gave a result, gave a very clear decision on this, and we have to respect that decision, that's why we didn't block Article 50. "But we are going to be part of all this campaigning, all these negotiations about the kind of relationship we have in Europe in the future." He added: "The referendum happened, let's respect the result. Democracy happened, respect the result." Mr Corbyn rejected Mr Blair's suggestion that the party was weak, pointing to its surge in membership to more than 500,000. "I don't quite know what Tony means there. Our party membership has more than doubled, we had a big campaign to remain and reform the European Union," he said. "We are now pursuing a policy which will try and protect jobs and conditions across this country but also maintain a good relationship with colleagues across Europe." Mr Corbyn urged Mr Blair to get behind the party's vision of a future outside the European Union with high investment and reduced inequality, rather than a low-tax economy aligned with the US under President Donald Trump. He said: "We are going to be outside the European Union. We are not leaving the continent of Europe, we are still going to work with them. "I think it would be helpful if people put their energies in the direction of building those good relations and ensuring we have a viable economy, not some offshore tax haven bargain basement, doing deals with Trump's America. "My job is to take our party forward into an investment-led economy that reduces inequality in this country, that builds houses when people need them, that gets the good jobs people need in the hi-tech industries the National Investment Bank will fund. "Get on board with that strategy." Police spotted his car heavily laden with sacks of grain in Luton and advised him to split the load. However, he was spotted later and fined £300. "The driver found he could buy 20kg (44lb) bags of rice from a cash and carry for £15.49 so bought 40 bags totalling 800kg (1,764lb)," police said. The cut-price rice and fine cost £920. Officers from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire road policing unit stopped the car in Dunstable Road on Friday night. More news from Bedfordshire The driver was advised to remove the sacks of basmati and either split the load or find a more suitable vehicle. However, he chose to ignore the advice and continue with his basmati booty. The vehicle was stopped a second time and taken to a weighbridge where the driver was fined. He then arranged for a friend to help him move the sacks safely. The force later tweeted: "If you need to carry 800kg of rice, choose a suitable vehicle. This isn't it. Dangerously overweight." Hooker Wood, 27, made 74 appearances in his second spell with the Super League side, scoring 11 tries. Prop Johnson, 22, made 17 appearances in 2016. Giants managing director Richard Thewlis told the club website: "We were talking to Josh since the beginning of the season but in reality I don't think we ever got close to the valuation which he was seeking." Liverpool Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is under review by NHS England following pay rises of up to 50%. Prof Maureen Williams, who has stood down, saw an increase of at least a third, from £70,000-£75,000 to £100,000 in the 2014-15 financial year. An initial report also highlighted "weakness in governance". The government ordered the review into the CCG in March after Rosie Cooper, the MP for West Lancashire, raised concerns about pay increases for governing body members between 2013-14 and 2014-15. Most of the pay rises relate to the 2014-15 financial year, when chairman Dr Nadim Fazlani's salary rose from approximately £105,000 to £155,000. The chief officer and chief finance officer both received rises of about 15%. The review said the remuneration committee, of which Prof Williams was chair, had "acted outside its terms of reference" by making decisions on pay increases, rather than making recommendations. It highlighted conflicts of interest, particularly in the CCG's first year of operation in 2013-14, which "were not managed robustly with a lack of independent advice and scrutiny of decisions". Dr Fazlani said the CCG "fully accept these findings and will be taking immediate action to strengthen governance in relation to the remuneration of governing body members". Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy told a rally in Glasgow the NHS should be the top priority, not a second independence referendum. The Scottish Conservatives focused on apprenticeships, while the SNP pledged to increase the minimum wage. Elsewhere, the Scottish Liberal Democrats launched their manifesto in Edinburgh. Mr Murphy addressed a street rally in Glasgow, where he said Labour would invest in the NHS. He said: "Scotland needs to rebuild our NHS, not re-run the referendum. The SNP promised to rule out a referendum for a generation and they've reneged on that pledge. Labour has pledged to invest in the NHS and we will keep that promise. "Under the SNP we have seen a crisis in our A&E wards. Supporting our NHS should be our national priority, not a second referendum and the years of debate and division that would mean." Elsewhere, Ruth Davidson, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, met young apprentices in Peterhead to highlight the Conservative pledge to create 10,000 more apprenticeships by 2020. Ahead of the event, she spoke to BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme about Tory peer Lord Forsyth's warning that talking up the SNP's possible role at Westminster was undermining the Union. Ms Davidson said: "I think Lord Forsyth has fallen into a bit of a Nationalist trap here by framing this as a Scotland versus England thing, and it is not. "Unionists across the whole of the UK are concerned and frightened about the sort of concessions that the SNP being in charge of a weak Labour government could bring and whether those concessions would put the UK - that I fought for, that many people fought for, that we won a referendum on - at risk. "And there is a clear way to avoid this and that is to elect a majority Conservative government that will do no deals with the SNP." Meanwhile, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon addressed the Scottish Trade Union Congress in Ayr, where she pledged to increase the minimum wage to £8.70 per hour by 2020. The SNP claim this would make 250,000 people in Scotland better off by up to £4,000 a year. Speaking ahead of the event, she said: "Hard working people have been let down by Westminster, with the cost of living rising as the harsh cuts agenda takes its toll. "We need a new, progressive approach to tackle inequality, boosting pay for our lowest paid workers and helping close the gap between rich and poor." The Scottish Green party marked John Muir Day - celebrating the birth of the founder of the National Parks movement - by reiterating their election manifesto pledges to tackle poverty and oppose fracking. Scottish Green MSP Alison Johnstone said: "Returning more Green MPs would send a strong message that the UK is serious about showing leadership on climate change, pursuing sustainable jobs and protecting the environment that our economy relies on. "All too often we see UK governments ignoring their responsibility to protect our seas, our wildlife and our food chains. And we need stronger voices on fossil fuel decommissioning and divestment." Voters across the UK go to the polls on 7 May. What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election? Policy guide: Where the parties stand Uefa boss Platini is suspended as Fifa studies reports he received a £1.35m payment from Blatter in 2011. The 60-year-old told French newspaper Le Monde he had done nothing wrong and "certainly still wants to" stand in the Fifa presidential election in February. "It's shameful to be dragged through the mud like this," said Platini. "I have been suspended for three months, but what annoys me the most is being tarred with the same brush as the others. "My lawyers are following the Fifa proceedings and will take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if needs be." In June, Blatter announced he would leave his position at the head of world football, though he is also serving a 90-day ban, but also denies any wrongdoing. Platini, who has been president of European football's Uefa since 2007, was tipped to replace the 79-year-old Swiss and still believes he will have enough support to do so. "I don't think I have lost many votes with these scandals," he added. "People who know me know that I can look myself in the mirror. "I don't like to lose. Especially not on the basis of a scandal that isn't one." Fifa's ethics committee is looking into the circumstances of a payment of 2m Swiss francs Platini received in 2011 for work said to have been carried out more than nine years previously. Platini claims Blatter asked to see him before the 1998 World Cup in France and wanted the Frenchman to become Fifa president, with Blatter taking over as general secretary. "I wasn't interested," said Platini. "I was focused on the World Cup and didn't see myself as president." He says the pair met again two months later, with Blatter asking Platini to become his football adviser and enquiring how much money he wanted. Platini added: "I said 'a million'. 'A million what?' 'Whatever you want: roubles, pounds, dollars.' He said, 'OK, 1m Swiss francs a year.' Incredible though it may sound, that's what happened." Platini worked for Blatter from 1998 to 2002 "reforming the international match calendar" and on "the Goal Programme - a Fifa assistance and support scheme for the poorest associations". "It's never been about money for me," said Platini. "I was an unpaid chairman of the World Cup organising committee. "Before that, I turned down the opportunity to go to Real Madrid even though they had handed me a cheque and told me to add as many zeros as I liked. "When I said to Blatter 'a million of whatever you want', I was leaving it up to him to decide how much he wanted to give me." However, a formal contract for the full pay was never signed. "I haven't had a lawyer or agent to negotiate for me for a long time," added Platini. "It was a gentleman's agreement. He was going to be president of Fifa. I trusted him. I've since learned that under Swiss law, an oral contract is as valid as a written one." Since being banned, the Football Association, which had previously backed Platini in the election, suspended its support for the former Nancy, St Etienne and Juventus midfielder. However, Platini has defended the payment and said it was not his fault that it came so long after the work had finished. He says that he "worked for several months" without any payment and was told by Blatter that he could not earn three times the salary of the general secretary, who was paid 300,000 Swiss francs. Platini claims a contract for 300,000 Swiss francs was agreed, on the basis Fifa "would pay the balance later" but "later never came" so he called in the debt. "The finance department at Fifa asked Blatter if he owed me money and he said yes so I sent an invoice at their request," said Platini. "But I got it wrong, to my own disadvantage. I forgot that I had been paid 300,000 Swiss francs a year - I thought that it had been 500,000 Swiss francs and that he therefore owed me another 500,000 for each of the four years. "So I sent an invoice for 2m Swiss francs. I was paid 10 days later without any fuss from Fifa. If there had been any doubt whatsoever, they would have refused to pay me."

James Eyre, 41, from Derbyshire, was on the waiting list for more than four years before his operation in October. Mr Eyre, a dry stone waller, has since returned home from the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle, where he had been for three weeks. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust said he had been "very lucky" as one in three with the condition die waiting for a donor. It said the UK had one of the "highest rates of family refusal to organ donation in the Western world" and has urged people to join the donor register to help people like Mr Eyre. The 41-year-old, who lives in Milltown, near Ashover, said he had always been physically fit, despite his genetic condition, describing his own muscle power as "phenomenal". However, his lungs were slowly failing and he needed an oxygen tank to breathe when their function fell to a dangerous 30%. He kept working and pushing himself physically despite concerns over whether he would survive the wait for a transplant. "The harder you push the better your body is, it stands you in better stead," he said. After returning home following the transplant, Mr Eyre described his eldest son not being able to keep up with him and another one of his children "squealing with delight" as he ran ahead. He said: "The little things mean so much to the children, being able to walk with them in a field, I feel like a proper dad again." Mr Eyre said he would be forever grateful to medical staff and the family of the donor. He is planning to return to work in March, as well as go mountain biking, following further recovery.

A man with cystic fibrosis has said he can be a "proper dad" again following a successful double lung transplant.

The 30 year old was injured when he and three other officers on foot patrol stopped a wanted man on Westmorland Road in Huyton at about 11:20 BST. The 18-year-old man tried to flee but was caught by one of the other officers. He remains in custody. The injured officer was taken to hospital with wounds to his back, which are not thought to be life threatening. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of rape, relating to an attack in Liverpool in June, and assaulting a police constable. Deputy Chief Constable Carl Foulkes paid tribute to the officers involved for their quick response to the knife attack. "After seeing their colleague stabbed, three officers continued to attempt to arrest the man and successfully detained him," he said. "I would like to commend their bravery and that of the officer who has been injured." Lynne Jones, from Keswick Flood Action Group, told the Commons Environment Committee she feared her business was now impossible to insure or sell. Her guest house has been flooded three times in ten years, despite £30,000 spent on "flood-proofing", she said. Prime Minister David Cameron has defended the amount spent on flood defences in the region. Ms Jones said she did not know if her insurance company would pay and, if it did, she still faced paying 25% of the final cost because of her policy excess. "We are all trapped in our homes," she said. "My property had been up for sale for a year, we've just taken it off the market - it's no point, no-one is ever going to buy it. "I have got to live with flood risk into my dotage." Ms Jones said the "devastation" of bridges and roads was a "disaster for a community that's dependent on tourism and people getting from one side of the Lake District to the other". MPs also heard from business leaders and councillors outlining the estimated £600m damage done to the county and the effect on residents. Cumbria County Council cabinet member Keith Little said: "In the 2009 floods, the health authority was telling us that up until 2012 people were still coming forward with mental health issues." It has exposed the deep fissure that runs through society here, and some signs of the direction in which this country appears to be heading.  There are still questions as to whether Mumtaz Qadri, the assassin and one of the governor's own bodyguards, acted alone, or with the backing of a radical movement.  But his motive appears clear - he was angered by Salman Taseer's stance against Pakistan's stringent blasphemy laws. The governor felt they discriminated against Pakistan's religious minorities and was the most prominent supporter of a Christian woman in Punjab who was sentenced to death for insulting the Prophet Muhammad, something she denied doing. 'Feted celebrity' That made him something of a hate figure among some radical, fundamentalist quarters. For some of them Qadri, the man accused of killing him, has become a feted celebrity. In the city of Peshawar, a demonstration has been held to celebrate Salman Taseer's murder and there were chants calling for Mumtaz Qadri's release. "We, all the students, are proud of the job which Mumtaz performed," said one demonstrator. "We all are with him." "The governor said the blasphemy law was a black law, that's why Mumtaz killed him," says another. "He did a tremendous job." This is one - admittedly extreme - guise of Pakistan though it has shown itself elsewhere since Mr Taseer's death - on social networking sites, and radio phone-in programmes. But there are also many Pakistanis who have been profoundly affected by what has happened, and are mourning the loss of a liberal hero. This evening, at the spot where Mr Taseer was killed in Islamabad, was an altogether different gathering of people from the one in Peshawar, of people with a very different outlook. For them, Qadri's alleged act was an attempt to rob them of their liberty too. "It is a very, very shocking incident," said one man at the candlelit vigil in Kohsar Market. "I would say it's an eye-opener for the mainstream political parties. They should close ranks and deny religious parties the space they have which fuels a lot of radical people like the person who killed Salman Taseer." "We are small in numbers when we speak against all this extremism that's going on," one lady tells us. "There are many people who will not come out because they're afraid. My children want to go abroad rather than be suppressed in this manner." The governor's brutal death could spark debate as to what type of society Pakistanis want for themselves - one which is moderate and progressive, or one which is conservative and hard-line. But it could also simply have the effect of silencing those, like Mr Taseer, who want to stand up for those they feel are being unfairly persecuted. In November, when I last met Salman Taseer, he repeatedly voiced his belief that Pakistanis were an inherently liberal, humane people. He insisted they would ultimately reject extremism. He pointed out that, in elections, religious parties have never done particularly well in Pakistan. But the manner of Mr Taseer's passing is an indication to many that the radical elements within this society, however small or large they may be in number, are the ones currently forcing the agenda. Joerg Tiemann said his Urban Burgery sold the burgers garnished with goat's cheese as a "satirical answer" to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He has now installed security cameras. Mr Erdogan reacted angrily when a German comic poked fun at him in a poem referring to sex with goats and sheep. Jan Boehmermann was given police protection after reading his obscene poem on German TV. The Turkish president filed a criminal complaint against the comic, in a case that prompted a heated debate in Germany over freedom of speech. German prosecutors are investigating whether he broke a law against insulting foreign leaders. The Urban Burgery was reopening on Wednesday, Mr Tiemann told the BBC. Its Erdogan-Burgers were by far the most popular item on the menu, accounting for 75% of the outlet's turnover, he added. He described it as "a classic hamburger, meat or vegetarian, with a thick slice of goat's cheese". "We'll sell it for as long as people want it or until Erdogan ends his policy," he said. When asked about the Boehmermann case, Mr Tiemann said his own protest was more a mark of solidarity with two Turkish journalists at the daily Cumhuriyet, who were jailed on 6 May. Erdem Gul received five years and Can Dundar five years and 10 months, after Cumhuriyet reported that Turkey had tried to ship arms to rebels fighting the Syrian government. Mr Erdogan's Islamist-rooted AK Party government has drawn international criticism for cracking down on dissent. Turkey has backtracked on freedom of speech and judicial independence, EU officials and human rights activists say. Mr Tiemann said the threats targeting the Urban Burgery were "mostly commentaries on Facebook - people threatened to send the Grey Wolves to our restaurant". The Grey Wolves are a Turkish nationalist group dating back to the 1960s, accused of multiple murders of leftists and liberals. Mr Tiemann said German national security agents had visited the Urban Burgery on Tuesday, and he now had eight 24-hour surveillance cameras. Three Turkish workers left his business after the threats were made, he told the BBC, but "friends helped out" with that staffing problem. A drop in output - the first locally in 15 months - is not considered surprising. Last week, a similar report showed businesses in the UK as a whole had suffered in July. The Ulster Bank, who released the figures, said there is "some comfort" in that Northern Ireland fared better than the UK average. The bank looks at the business activity of private sector firms every month, in what is considered a reliable indicator of the economy. The latest Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) suggests that both output and new orders experienced declines in July when compared to June. However, it also showed employment increased and some companies were able to win greater export business due to the weakness of the pound. The bank's chief economist, Richard Ramsey, said: "Overall the latest PMI is no doubt concerning for the Northern Ireland economy. "But we shouldn't read too much into one month's survey. "The data flow in the coming months will give a clearer picture of the broader trajectory of the local economy." Two batches of Dunsyre Blue Cheese are being recalled, but the manufacturer said it was just a precaution. Fourteen people across Scotland have contracted E. coli, with two cases in England. Two of those are understood to be in a stable condition in hospital while the rest are recovering at home. Health Protection Scotland (HPS) said initial investigations showed a number of those affected had consumed Dunsyre Blue, made by Errington Cheese, before they became unwell. They developed their symptoms between 2 and 15 July, with the cases thought to be spread across seven health boards in Scotland. About 180kg of the Dunsyre Blue Cheese is being recalled, according to Food Standards Scotland. The agency said cheese with the batch codes C22 or D14 on its packaging should not be eaten, and should instead be either returned to the retailer or disposed of. Dr Syed Ahmed, clinical director at HPS, said: "The majority of cases have consumed Dunsyre Blue while eating out, but members of the public who purchased Dunsyre Blue cheese between 18 May and 29 July, and still have the product in their fridges, should return it to the retailer where they purchased the product or dispose of it." Errington Cheese, based at Carnwath, insisted the outbreak had not yet been definitely linked to their product, and that the recall was a precaution. Founder Humphrey Errington told BBC Scotland: "As a responsible company, we took the voluntary decision last night to recall the two batches of cheese which they were concerned about. "At the moment we are doing a lot of testing ourselves and investigation to see whether in fact there is any evidence of a connection". The company said investigations were being carried out by itself and the food regulator. The family-run farm and cheese business was started by Mr Errington in the early 1980s and is now managed by his daughter. The voluntary recall was issued after investigations led by Health Protection Scotland into cases of E. coli O157 pointed to a link with particular batches of Dunsyre Blue, a cheese made with unpasteurised milk. Food Standards Scotland advises that vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, children and elderly people should not consume unpasteurised milk and dairy products made from unpasteurised milk due to the increased risk of food poisoning. The agency said it was working closely with South Lanarkshire Council and Errington Cheese to further investigate the matter. Symptoms associated with E. coli O157 can include stomach cramps, diarrhoea, vomiting and occasionally fever. Anyone developing symptoms, including bloody diarrhoea, or who is concerned about their symptoms, should contact their GP or telephone NHS 24 on 111 for advice. The Seagulls, who are a point clear of Newcastle, now must better the Magpies' result next Sunday to finish top. They fell behind when Josh Brownhill powered home a header from Matty Taylor's cross before the break. The closest Brighton came to a leveller was a stoppage-time header from Glenn Murray that was straight at Robins' keeper Frank Fielding. Brighton have now lost both their games since being promoted to the Premier League on 17 April. The Seagulls will be crowned champions if they beat mid-table Aston Villa on the last day of the season but anything less could see Newcastle win the title instead if they beat Barnsley at St James' Park. Manager Chris Hughton will have been disappointed with the flat performance his side put on in front of a packed Amex Stadium, with Bristol City centre halves Aden Flint and Bailey Wright able to comfortably deal with a series of harmless crosses as the Seagulls looked for a route back into the game. Victory for Bristol City dispelled their lingering relegation fears and means Lee Johnson's men have won four of their past five games. They could and perhaps should have extended the lead given to them by Brownhill's first goal for the club but Taylor totally miscued from close range.

The situations come from "tied" visas - meaning the right to be in the UK can be withdrawn by the employer - and "transit" visas on fishing boats. Ministers said a review was under way. Transit visas are being used to bring in recruits to the fishing industry who have no right to set foot on dry land - and therefore no access to UK employment rights. Face the Facts found this led to some fishing workers spending weeks at a time at sea, sometimes unpaid, sleeping in cramped conditions, often physically and verbally abused. With tied visas, employees must stay with the employer they arrived to work for - so if they are mistreated and run away, they are likely to be deported. Modern slavery minister Karen Bradley said: "We do know that there are problems; that's why I've just commissioned an independent review of the visa arrangements for overseas domestic workers." The government's Modern Slavery Bill, which has cross-party support, will not affect tied or transit visas. But Ms Bradley said it was the boldest attempt yet in Europe to tackle human trafficking and slavery It will increase the maximum sentence to life imprisonment, introduce an anti-slavery commissioner and give courts new powers to order compensation. Face the Facts is broadcast on Radio 4 at 12:15 GMT. Media playback is not supported on this device The 27-year-old made 22 appearances for Treviso in the Pro 12 last season. Luamanu told the club website: "I'm really excited to have joined Harlequins and I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead." Quins director of rugby, Connor O'Shea, added: "We look forward to working with a player whose best years can still be ahead of him." He added: "Mat's sheer size, power and footballing ability will provide a very interesting challenge to teams in the Aviva Premiership and in Europe." Luamanu has represented New Zealand Schools and won the 2008 Junior World Cup for New Zealand with the under-20s. Emergency services were called to Shaw Road South, Shaw Heath, Stockport at about 20:15 BST on Wednesday after reports a baby had stopped breathing. The baby was taken to Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport, where police said she died from her injuries. A 25-year-old man remains in police custody for questioning. A post-mortem examination is due to take place. Both runways were closed as passengers and crew used emergency chutes. BA said the Heathrow to Oslo service turned back after a technical fault at 08:43 BST. Witnesses reported seeing flames coming from the engine. The southern and northern runways had reopened by 11:00 BST and short-haul flights cancelled by BA have resumed. In total 192 flights were cancelled from Heathrow Airport following the emergency landing, the majority of which were BA flights, and 22 planes were diverted to other airports. By Tom EdwardsTransport correspondent, London What today's incident highlights is how one event can have a massive impact on passengers. Both runways were shut for 30 minutes but as Heathrow operates at 98% capacity of a 480,000-a-year flight cap that has a massive knock-on effect. When incidents like this have happened before, pro-expansion campaigners have claimed it proves why Heathrow should have a third runway. Campaigners against expansion use these incidents to say Heathrow is in the wrong place and shouldn't operate at 98%. But that won't stop the frustration in the terminal with delays just before the half-term getaway. There are still delays of more than 45 minutes for both departures and arrivals, Heathrow Airport said. BA said the incident had had "significant impact" on its schedule and delays were expected to last for the rest of the day. London Ambulance Service said three people on the plane, an Airbus A319 carrying 75 passengers, were treated for minor injuries. David Gallagher, a passenger on the plane, said: "About eight or nine minutes into the flight there was a loud popping sound, not an explosion but definitely not usual sounds. "The captain came on very calmly, said he was aware of the situation and that everything was running normally and he was going to run some tests to see what the right course would be. "Then another five minutes after that there was a loud sound, and this time the right engine was clearly on fire. "I mean big flames, very visible from the rest of the cabin, and lots of black smoke." He said a few passengers were visibly upset but the cabin and ground crews were "outstanding and completely calm". Jez Stamp, from Farnham in Surrey, who was on a plane waiting to take off to Jordan, said: "I could see smoke on the right engine. "We just saw it come to a halt and fire engines were already there waiting for it and they immediately started hosing the plane down." Rob Brownell, 33, who saw the plane from Imperial Wharf Station in central London, told the BBC flames were "clearly visible". He said: "There was this almighty rumbling overhead - I looked up and saw the plane on fire. "There were flames coming not just from the engine but lapping the wing. "My initial thought was 'my God this thing is going to blow up'. The wings are full of fuel so I couldn't see how there could not be an explosion." Normand Boivin, Heathrow chief operating officer, said: "I would like to pay tribute to BA's pilots and Heathrow's fire and airside teams for their quick and professional response." According to the website planefinder.net, the plane turned over Potter's Bar and Billericay before returning to Heathrow. Captain Mark Searle, chairman of the British Airline Pilots' Association (Balpa), said: "This was a professional job done by professional people. "As pilots we spend our whole career training to manage incidents such as this in order to avoid an incident becoming a disaster." 18 October 2015 Last updated at 08:34 BST "Pan" is a remake of Peter Pan and features a lot of famous actors and actresses. But many people are unhappy with the director's choice to pick Rooney Mara, a white actress, to play the character Tiger Lily. In many of the past versions of the books and films of Peter Pan, Tiger Lily is thought to be Native American. Those who don't agree with the casting have launched an online petition which has over 95,000 supporters. The director says he's presenting the version of Tiger Lily from the original book written by JM Barrie. "Barrie wrote the character of Tiger Lily and her community not very specifically, and so I followed JM Barrie rather than pressure from outside groups." Margaret Gibson has been recognised for spending more than 20 years mentoring young people across Scotland. She is among 10 Scottish winners of a Queen's Award for Enterprise this year. They include Cumbernauld-based raincoat manufacturer Mackintosh Ltd and Edinburgh travel firm Rabbie's Trail Burners. Enterprise support professional Ms Gibson is a voluntary mentor with Young Enterprise Scotland and business incubator Entrepreneurial Spark. She spent more than 20 years with the Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust, rising to deputy chief executive. Dundee-based Ms Gibson said: "I am delighted to receive this award - I feel it is not really for me but for all of the young entrepreneurs I have worked with. "One of the things that I feel most strongly about is the need for young entrepreneurs to make links and connections with people. "That way, rather than trying to make it on your own, you're part of a big family of people." Another recipient of the enterprise promotion award is Nelson Gray, who is based in Roslin, Midlothian. He has been recognised for directly providing numerous start-up and early stage entrepreneurs with funding, support and mentoring. The other eight awards have gone to companies for achieving outstanding overseas sales growth. They include Mackintosh Ltd, which manufactures traditional raincoats from its two factories in Cumbernauld and Nelson, Lancashire. The company sells through distributors in the US and Japan, and via agents in Europe. It also has flagship stores in London and Tokyo. Another winner is Rabbie's Trail Burners, which provides scheduled mini-coach tours, holiday packages and other travel services for international consumers and trade. The award panel noted that its passenger numbers on scheduled tours in 2013 reached 61,065 - an increase of 36% from 2011. With 90% of its clients based overseas, Rabbie's sells through its multi-lingual website, tour operators and local agents overseas. Other international trade winners include Motherwell-based Consarc Engineering Ltd, which designs, manufactures and installs atmosphere furnaces, and Aberdeenshire-based Aubin Ltd, a supplier of chemical solutions for the oil and gas sector. Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal stayed on their coat-tails by winning their respective matches. However, Manchester United lost further ground on the front-runners after dropping more points at home. Do you agree with my team of the week? Or would you go for a different line-up? Why not pick your very own from the shortlist selected by BBC Sport journalists and share it with your friends? Pick your XI from our list and share with your friends. It's very seldom I pick a goalkeeper who hasn't kept a clean sheet and even more uncommon if he's let in two goals. The reality was that Paul Robinson, who was deputising for Tom Heaton, didn't let anything past him. He was beaten by two superbly taken strikes. I must say I was surprised to see the former Spurs and England goalkeeper involved at all instead of the previously ever-present Heaton, but delighted nevertheless. My immediate thought was: I hope he is going to give a good account of himself. I don't know why I was so concerned about Robinson, who found himself back in top-flight football after an absence of 1,664 days, because he was brilliant. Burnley might have lost 2-1 at home to Manchester City but it would have been considerably more had it not been for Robinson. Yes, I might be suffering from a little nostalgia but what's wrong with that? Good to have you back, Paul. Antonio Valencia was unlucky not to get into my team last week after a starring role against Arsenal. However, in another sparkling performance, this time against West Ham, the Ecuador international was once again at his threatening best down the right. Whenever the full-back plays, he does so with passion and purpose, but never loses his cool. What a pity his manager can't assume the same self-control. Jose Mourinho's protests are becoming tiresome. If it's all a bit too much for the overzealous manager on the touchline, then he should watch the game from the stands. He can't enjoy continually being told to leave the classroom by the referee like a naughty schoolboy. What a block it was by Angelo Ogbonna to deny Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The game was at a critical stage with the Red Devils in the ascendency when the ball was seized upon up by the Swede with the goal at his mercy. From nowhere, the Italy international made a challenge that saved the day for West Ham. Could Ibrahimovic have hit the ball first time? Of course he could, but no one thought for a moment that Ogbonna could make up the ground - never mind make the tackle. It was a wonderful piece of defending by the Hammer and one of the many turning points in a terrific match. For the second consecutive week, Virgil van Dijk makes my team of the week and stars in a match dominated by the Saints. This tenacious, polished defender was signed by former boss Ronald Koeman and remains in touch with the Dutch past master. Perhaps the defender could ask Koeman what has happened to the manager's Everton team. Last week, I said the Toffees were on the verge of a mini-crisis, yet with the class of players they have, that's the last thing he should be facing. Something is just not right at Everton. How long can this go on? James Milner is not only playing in a position that normally requires a specialist, but doing it brilliantly. There can only be a handful of top-class wingers whose game has allowed them to become a vital cog in what I would describe as a rather uncertain defensive unit. Nevertheless, James "I will play anywhere for the team, boss" Milner is giving Liverpool assurance at key moments in games. So much so, it's putting the Reds in a position where we are having to take them seriously as title contenders. His penalty conversion against an ultra-defensive Sunderland settled Liverpool down at the right time in what might have otherwise been a very tricky fixture. It was a monumental victory for Chelsea on Saturday. Believe me, as a former Spurs player, I take no comfort in saying this, but Chelsea are starting to play like champions. It's as though the same players who downed tools under ex-manager Jose Mourinho's leadership are the same ones who appear to be sticking two fingers up to him now. One of those players is Victor Moses, who the Portuguese totally disregarded during his second spell at the club and who is playing out of his skin at the moment. Spurs meanwhile, and quite infuriatingly, continue to struggle to win the games that really matter. A lot was made of this fixture as being the revenge match for the humiliating draw at Stamford Bridge last season that ended any thought of Spurs winning the title. The truth is that Tottenham still have a lot of growing up to do. It's all very well boss Mauricio Pochettino insisting Spurs were the better side, but it's Chelsea who took all the points and were laughing all the way back to SW6. Boy! Did newly appointed manager Bob Bradley need this result. Swansea's 5-4 win over Crystal Palace came in the most extraordinary of circumstances, but who cares? It also needed his best player to produce it. Gylfi Sigurdsson is keeping the Swans' heads above water at the moment and proving to be a critical component to the club's survival in the Premier League. Saturday's match was a gripping encounter for all the wrong reasons. Goals were flying in from everywhere and no-one seemed to be in a position to do anything about it. Let's not kid ourselves, both Swansea and Crystal Palace are in desperate need of some serious surgery. Last week, Palace boss Alan Pardew told us he and his players had words after their defeat against Manchester City, and they were going to put their run of poor results behind them and get down to business. What did they talk about? The weather? Well, if they keep defending like that, they will find themselves conducting their business in the Championship. Last week, I was singing the praises of midfielder Yaya Toure. This week, it's another Manchester City player, but one who seldom gets the plaudits he deserves. Fernandinho was superb against a Burnley side who at one stage thought they might do to City what they did to Liverpool. However, the Brazilian had other ideas. His selflessness and desire to promote the team's purpose couldn't have been more evident than when he created City's winner out of nothing. City manager Pep Guardiola is still coming to terms with the rigour of the Premier League and what is required to win it. This is not Spain, where two teams dominate the scene and results are predictable - or Germany, where if Bayern Munich don't win the title, there's a national inquest. This is the Premier League. The most competitive league in the world. These were two massive goals for Swansea for Leroy Fer, a player who I believe still has to fulfil his potential in the Premier League. I saw a lot of him at QPR, but he seems more assured and accomplished playing for Swansea. He covers the ground and when required can put his foot in, but his ability to score goals from midfield is without doubt his biggest asset. However, in all honesty, I cannot see how Swansea can retain their status in the Premier League when they continually move on players such as forwards Wilfried Bony, Bafetimbi Gomis and Andre Ayew - and, of course, defender Ashley Williams - without replacing them and expect to survive. If ever there was a man born to score goals, it was Sergio Aguero. He has scored 33 goals in the last 34 league matches, which tells its own story. Against Burnley, he was his usual predatory self. And yet I detected a moment last week - when City boss Pep Guardiola tactically substituted the Argentine for a defender in order to close the game against Crystal Palace - when there was a distinct air of disapproval from Aguero. For Guardiola, the move might have been justified but, if you don't mind me saying so, it was a dangerous one nevertheless. When managers go about using world-class strikers as fodder, it runs the risk of hacking them off. They are not there to adorn your every circumstance, but to be treated with the utmost care and attention - a point former City striker Carlos Tevez was keen to make to former City manager Roberto Mancini. Lose them and it could cost you a title, a cup, a tournament, your job. Your choice. There has been some debate recently about how many world-class players we have in the Premier League at the moment. Well, I for one believe that Alexis Sanchez is one of them. It was Sanchez who punished Bournemouth's Steve Cook for what appeared to be a moment of stage fright - one which ended in the most appalling backpass. The Chilean then finished off the Cherries with a simple tap-in, but that was after he had run Bournemouth ragged. With midfielder Mesut Ozil, another world-class player, available to produce the service in the absence of Santi Cazorla, the result was inevitable. What Arsenal have done is collect three very valuable points in a week where Champions League often takes priority. That is a very dangerous sign for Manchester City and Chelsea. Its Transfer Matching System (TMS) estimates that since 2013 some 57% of funds have gone into stars' pockets. Actual transfer fees have accounted for just 41% of the cash, and agent commissions the remaining 2%. Football clubs in Europe account for four-fifths of the total money spent on wages in those global deals. The new figures refer to international transfers from one country to another, and do not cover "domestic" transfers between two clubs in the same nation. In cash terms it means that over the past two years, from international deals, $16.5bn (£10.8bn) has gone on player salaries, $12bn in transfer fees, and $700m to player agents. "Most of the transfers discussed in the media involve large transfer fees, but in reality, only 13% of all worldwide transfers involve the payment of a fee," said Fifa TMS General Manager Mark Goddard. "Salaries, though, are part of every single contract." Increasingly lucrative TV deals have given top-flight English clubs the financial muscle to bring in a plethora of global stars from overseas. Big signings this summer have included Manchester City's purchase of Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg for £52m and Nicolas Otamendi from Valencia for £32m, while rivals Manchester United bought Anthony Martial from Monaco for £36m and Memphis Depay from PSV for £25m. And Fifa's analysis of the spending on international transfers during the recently ended summer transfer window shows that English clubs spent a total of $996m (£653m) - more than double any other country. Meanwhile French clubs spent $270m - a 65% increase on summer 2014, but Spanish clubs, another traditional home for glamour players, particularly from South America, saw summer spending decrease by 23% on 2014, to $495m. Those three nations, plus Germany and Italy, make up what are known as the "Big Five" European leagues. These big five countries recorded a total of 1,340 incoming international transfers during this summer's transfer window, an increase of 4% when compared with the same period in 2014. And the total international transfer spending across these nations reached $2,396m, an increase of 2% on last year's summer window, driven by increased spending in Italy as well as France. Former Italian football club legend Gianluca Vialli, who starred for Sampdoria, Juventus, and Chelsea, said there were a number of reasons for the increased spending on transfers in Italy, a country where the football economy has been seen as stagnant compared with England or Germany. "The Italian league has got better TV deals than it previously had, so there is more money available," Mr Vialli told the BBC website at the Soccerex football conference in Manchester. "But more importantly, I think the football clubs decided that to come out of this 'football recession' it would be better for them to invest in players." Other findings from Fifa's analysis of international deals involving the Big Five leagues are that: Fifa's TMS organisation uses modern electronic technology with the aim of making international football transfers more transparent and legally compliant. Mr Goddard said the system also helped Fifa to gauge the size of the global football transfer industry, and how best to manage it. For its latest report, Fifa has analysed data supplied to it from 6,500 clubs. Following on after the heavy financial outlay from clubs in Europe on player wages, teams in the Asian confederation were the next highest spenders on salaries. In a separate look at the European transfer market, Spanish-based sports business and marketing consultancy Prime Time Sport has released its report into summer player spending. In a presentation at Soccerex, its chief executive Esteve Calzada said that all clubs, including the biggest in Europe, were now involved in selling players. He said that previously it was certain teams, such as Porto or Southampton, who had a role in producing home-grown talent for sale to larger clubs on the continent. "Player trading has now become normal across the board," Mr Calzada said, noting that this was partly a result of Uefa's financial fair play rules, which state that clubs - including the largest - should spend no more than the revenues they generate. "[Bigger clubs] have to generate income, and find money to buy new players," Mr Calzada added. "Big clubs will now pop up in the lists of the biggest sellers. "All teams have got used to selling their best players." He said AS Monaco from the French league was the European leader in player sales income this summer, earning some €160m (£117m) - including cash from the sale of Martial to Manchester United. However, Mr Calzada said that his team's research showed that. for buying clubs, heavy investment in players did not always translate into immediate trophy success. The nun became pregnant after she was raped by a man carrying out repairs at the convent. She alleges that, when her fellow sisters found out about her pregnancy, they pressured her to leave the convent and the Church. Her lawyer says the sisters blamed her for having been raped. She is suing the Archbishopric of Santiago and the Order of St Clare. The Auxiliary Bishop of Santiago, Rt Rev Jorge Concha, said that the nun had left the convent "voluntarily" and the Archbishopric had only found out about the rape and subsequent events on 27 March. The nun told Chilean TV that she had joined the order in 2002 when she was 20 years old. She said she lived inside a convent in the capital Santiago, with very little contact with the outside world. But in 2012, a group of men was allowed into the convent to carry out some repairs. They lived and slept in the convent for the duration of the renovations and the nun was assigned to provide them with food. One of them raped her, a fact she kept secret from her fellow sisters "out of fear and shame, because a sense of shame came over me and didn't let me express myself," she told 24 Horas. Three months on, the sisters found out that she was pregnant. "[I got] zero support, they told me I was to blame, that I did it on purpose," the nun told Chilean TV. "I told them I was innocent, but my fellow sisters were very cruel to me." She alleges that they pressured her to leave the convent and the Church. "They wanted me to hand over my habit, but I wasn't going to do that," she said. While she did eventually leave the convent she says she refused to sign any papers saying she would leave the Church. She says she sought shelter with a friend and after giving birth, put her child up for adoption. In 2015, her rapist was found guilty and sentenced to five years in jail. Her lawyer says it is time for the Archbishopric of Santiago "to own up to its responsibility" in the case. "She is a nun living in a convent who was raped and instead of being protected she was blamed for what happened," her lawyer Camila Maturana said. "In a convent, where nuns are kept separate from worldly life, men shouldn't stay overnight," Ms Maturana said. "All religious institutions in a diocese fall under the aegis of a bishop, in this case it's the Archbishop of Santiago," she added, to explain the decision to sue the Archbishopric as well as the Order of St Clare. The nun said she felt "abandoned by my only family and my Church, which I have always defended like a lioness". Bishop Concha said the Archbishopric had been unaware of the nun's plight until 27 March. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) published its findings after an inspection of Winterbourne View near Bristol. The review was ordered after BBC Panorama filmed patients being pinned down, slapped and taunted. Police said they had arrested a 12th person in connection with the inquiry. The Panorama programme was contacted by whistleblower Terry Bryan who alerted the BBC with his concerns about some staff. Mr Bryan, a senior nurse, acted after his concerns were not followed up by the home's management or the CQC. The CQC report on Winterbourne View found owners Castlebeck Care had failed to ensure residents living at the unit were adequately protected from risk, including the risks of unsafe practices by its own staff. It said: "There was a systemic failure to protect people or to investigate allegations of abuse. "The provider had failed in its legal duty to notify the Care Quality Commission of serious incidents including injuries to patients or occasions when they had gone missing." Inspectors also noted staff did not appear to understand the needs of the people in their care and said "some staff were too ready to use methods of restraint without considering alternatives". Winterbourne View was closed down in June. The CQC's director of operations Amanda Sherlock said that, following the investigation, it was clear the abuse was far worse than they were warned of by Mr Bryan. She claimed that Castlebeck had "misled" the CQC, and if officials had known about what was taking place they "could have taken action earlier". In response to the CQC report, Castlebeck's Chief Executive, Lee Reed, said: "We are truly sorry for the failures which led to the terrible mistreatment suffered by patients at Winterbourne View. "As soon as the company was made aware of the appalling misconduct of staff at Winterbourne View, we alerted the police and other relevant authorities. "We then took immediate remedial steps to safeguard the welfare of all our service users. This work is ongoing, and is our absolute priority." The latest person to be arrested is a 27-year-old man from the South Gloucestershire area. Police said he had been arrested under the Mental Capacity Act and had been released on police bail. Eleven other people, eight men and three women, previously arrested remain on police bail pending further inquiries. Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont set the tone in a New Year message, saying a planned referendum would go ahead by September. That would defy the Spanish government's warning that any vote organised by Catalonia's regional authorities would be illegal. "If 50% plus one vote 'yes', we will declare independence without hesitation," he said. Tensions between supporters of independence and Spanish authorities are likely to rise when three senior Catalan ex-officials, including former president Artur Mas, go on trial accused of criminal disobedience for organising a wildcat poll in November 2014. Spain's conservative prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, says he is willing to negotiate possible alterations to the relationship between the national and Catalan administrations, but will not discuss changes to Spain's constitution. Catalonia's quarrel with Madrid Catalonia profile So Madrid says there will be no referendum. Barcelona insists there will be a vote and it will be binding. "If we have 50% turnout and a majority in favour of independence, this will be legitimate. Then Madrid will have to ask itself if it is going to impose its laws by force, if the Catalan people choose their future peacefully and democratically," says Joan Maria Pique, the Catalan government's director of international communications. The image of tanks rolling north across the Ebro river belongs to Spain's tragic civil war of the 1930s. But how would Madrid react if Catalonia made a unilateral declaration of independence? When Spain's defence minister until last November, Pedro Morenes, was asked what the army would do in such a scenario, he avoided giving a direct answer: "If everyone does what they are legally bound to do, that situation will not be necessary." Like other regions in Spain, Catalonia already has the power to run its educational and healthcare systems, as well as limited freedoms in the area of taxation. But Spanish constitutional experts offer little encouragement to supporters of independence for Catalonia. "If the Catalan government does not negotiate the calling of a referendum with the state, it is not legally possible, because this power is held by the central state," explains Javier Garcia Roca, professor of constitutional law at Madrid's Complutense University. Spain's constitutional court agrees. It outlawed the unofficial vote held in November 2014, and that ruling led to former Catalan President Mas and two of his ministers facing trial this year. If found guilty, Mr Mas could be barred from public office for a decade. Many Catalan towns and villages have gone ahead and declared independence in a symbolic but defiant fashion. A picturesque Costa Brava fishing village, El Port de la Selva, declared itself "morally excluded" from Spain's constitutional order in July 2010. Earlier Spain's top court had ruled that large chunks of the Catalan autonomy statute, approved by both the Spanish and Catalan parliaments, were unconstitutional. The number of rebel municipalities has gone on growing. One estimate from a pro-sovereignty association suggests 787 of the region's 947 town and city halls have declared support for "decoupling from the Spanish state". Several local politicians and hundreds of councils are being investigated for offences deriving from symbolic disobedience of Spanish laws. The constitutional court has also quashed several attempts by the Catalan parliament to vote into existence "instruments of state" for a future independent country, including a tax agency and a social security department that would form the basis of a new welfare system. It has also annulled laws against fracking, gender inequality and banks which keep empty homes on their books. In 2010 the court sparked outrage by removing the preferential status of the Catalan language and quashing another dozen articles. Catalan spokesman Joan Maria Pique accuses the Spanish government of "exercising juridical violence by violating the independence of the courts". "The constitution lays down the principle of unity of the state and nation, which are described as 'indivisible'," argues Prof Garcia Roca. "It is a rigid document and the possibilities for imagination and constitutional engineering are therefore not the same for Catalonia as for Scotland." And yet much of Catalonia believes that it has already triggered what pro-independence circles describe as "decoupling" from the Spanish state, backed by a majority of the Catalan parliament and the region's local councils. A recent poll published by Barcelona-based newspaper El Periodico, not seen as backing independence, suggested that 85% of Catalans wanted a referendum, which all surveys predict would be extremely tight. So while the Madrid government insists any vote will have no validity, the game of political chicken goes on. Court orders have been served on councillors in Catalonia who refuse to acknowledge Spanish national holidays, remove flags or bow to other constitutional requirements, or who burn images of Spain's King Felipe. Meanwhile, the tension continues to rise. Something will have to give.

An ambulance and the Tayside trauma team also attended the incident. The man, whose condition is currently unknown, was taken to hospital by the Coastguard search and rescue helicopter from Inverness. A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We received a call at 10:08 hours today to attend an incident near St Cyrus. "A male patient in his 50s was taken to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary by Coastguard helicopter." Marcella Jean Lee, 56, was detained on Thursday about 100 miles (160km) south of Goldsboro, where her mum's remains were discovered. She faces a felony charge of failure to report a death, according to police. Police had been searching for Ms Lee for more than three months after a neighbour discovered the body of Arma Roush, 75, inside the freezer. A post-mortem examination showed no signs of foul play in Ms Roush's death. A neighbour bought the freezer for $30 (£23). Ms Lee told the buyer not to open the appliance, which was taped shut. She told the neighbour that members of a local church would come by to collect the contents of the freezer, which she referred to as a time capsule. A few weeks later in May, the neighbour opened the freezer and found the body. Ms Lee's mother had been living with her and was last seen in August 2015. PC Neil Doyle, 36, died following an attack in Liverpool city centre in the early hours of 19 December. Christopher Spendlove, 30, and Andrew Taylor, 28, pleaded not guilty to his murder when they appeared at Liverpool Crown Court earlier. Both men were remanded in custody and told they will face trial at the same court on 22 June. PC Doyle and two other off-duty officers were attacked near the Aloha Club, in Colquitt Street. Spendlove, of Brandearth Hey, Stockbridge Village, and Taylor, of Cherry Tree Road, Huyton, Merseyside, also deny causing grievous bodily harm with intent to PC Doyle's colleagues. A post-mortem examination revealed the constable died from bleeding around the brain. His colleagues were treated in hospital for facial injuries. A third man, Timmy Donovan, 30, originally from Huyton, was arrested in Germany in January in connection with the murder. The court heard extradition proceedings against him have begun and he is expected to be brought to the UK within the next 10 days. The man, only identified as Mr J, was taken to Arrowe Park Hospital in 2013 after a fit but died two days later. While there were a "number of missed opportunities", a Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman report found his death was "probably unavoidable". The hospital's trust apologised for the failings in the patient's care. News of Mr J's death and the subsequent investigation follows the publication of a report from the health watchdog which detailed more than 160 investigations it had carried out nationwide. Mr J, who was in his 30s, had been due to start an alcohol rehabilitation programme when he was found in his bedroom and taken to A&E by ambulance, the report said. "Mr J's family say that from the outset they heard staff imply in their comments that his condition was probably related to alcohol use," the report went on. When he was triaged upon arrival, his diagnosis was alcohol withdrawal and a head injury with confusion. He was given medication for symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and also diagnosed with a possible chest infection, the report said. His condition deteriorated and he was taken to the high dependency unit, where he was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. He was declared dead two days later. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman found there were "delays in triage and lost opportunities in A&E for earlier medical review" and found "significant failings" in his care. Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was also investigated after nurses failed to notice an older patient was "deteriorating" and developed a pressure sore. The watchdog found she suffered "pain and discomfort which could have been avoided". In a statement, the trust said: "The delivery of safe, high-quality patient care is our highest priority. The trust embraces concerns and complaints as an opportunity to learn and improve the care and service we provide. "We acknowledge that in both cases there were failures in the care provided and we would like to reiterate our sincere apologies to the complainants and their families for this." Euclid Tsakalotos said the Greek government had "done its part", adding "the ball is very much on the side of our creditors and the IMF". Last week, talks between eurozone finance ministers aimed at unlocking Greece's next set of loans broke down. Mr Tsakalotos said a deal at the next meeting in June was now urgent. "There are no excuses for not getting this overall deal that the Greek economy so desperately needs in its efforts to access the markets," he said. The meeting is aimed at deciding whether Greece has done enough to receive a €7.5bn (£6.4bn; $8.3bn) loan plus debt relief. The cash is vital for Greece to avoid defaulting on a debt repayment due in July. To secure the funds, the country has had to enact a series of economic reforms. As part of this, earlier this month Greece's parliament approved a new package of austerity measures, including tax rises and further cuts to pensions due to be implemented in 2019-20. Mr Tsakalotos said the government "had done its part of what it promised". A deal is reported to be held up because The International Monetary Fund and Germany are at odds over how to help ease Greece's debts once its rescue programme ends next year. The IMF's participation in Greece's latest bailout hinges on resolving this issue. Mr Tsakalotos said that the eurozone would benefit from a deal that helped Greece return to bond markets again. "There is very little point in entering a programme if the goal is not to leave the programme and leaving the programme should be not only the responsibility of the debtor country but the creditor countries as well," he added. A few days before the end of last year, West Australian teenager Jay Muscat was killed by a shark while he was spear-fishing on the state's far south coast. Authorities closed the beach and issued a kill order for the shark. A fortnight earlier, when Western Australians would typically have flocked to the beach, one of Perth's southern beaches was suddenly deemed out of bounds after an electronically-tagged great white shark was detected. The shark repeatedly returned to Warnbro Beach during daylight hours, prompting authorities to close the popular swimming and sunbathing spot, and to set baited lines in the hope of catching and shooting it. The two incidents follow a spate of deadly shark attacks in recent years in Western Australia and a controversial decision by the state government in early 2014 to cull sharks. That decision was eventually aborted after the government's own environmental regulator said it was scientifically unjustified. But critics say government and media hype around so-called killer sharks is not just environmentally dangerous - it also strikes deep into the state's psyche, damaging its relaxed coastal lifestyle, and generating a sense of fear and anxiety. Some psychologists have gone as far as to suggest that a climate in which sharks are deemed to be "rogue" killers that should be shot risks producing a generation of children who will grow up scared of the beach. And it's not just children who are scared, says Shayne Hanks, the Perth-based chairman of the National College of Sport and Exercise Psychologists. "There are adults saying that they won't go in the water or won't swim out very far or they'll stop some of those activities, and that's because their sense of threat is heightened," he said. Mr Hanks says the heightened fear of sharks is discouraging people from taking part in popular activities such as surfing. "I think it makes people less likely to go to the beach, which makes them less active, doing less exercise," he says. "That sense of where the beach fits into our culture is changing." Mr Hanks says the threat from sharks, while real, has been exaggerated. "I think the reaction isn't commensurate with the risk," he says. "We don't see the same anxiety levels in terms of drowning; there are more than 10 times the number of people who drown each year in WA [Western Australia] versus shark attacks; and there's 200 times the number of fatalities by car. "We don't get anxious though [about] getting into our car, and we don't get anxious when we go into a swimming pool." Following Jay Muscat's death, the state's Premier Colin Barnett said he was concerned for the safety of people using the sea and feared more fatalities, "even young children". His comments followed statements made ahead of the summer swimming season in September by then-Acting WA Tourism Minister John Day, who suggested tourists in the south-west may want to spend their holidays visiting wineries or scenic sights rather than venturing into the water. "If it was me I would not be surfing or going swimming far off the coast," Mr Day said. But critics say the idea that Western Australians who venture into the water will be hunted by killer sharks encourages lazy government policies. In the December issue of the Australian Journal of Political Science, academic Christopher Neff wrote that the idea of "serial killer sharks" which must be culled was easier to peddle than explaining to the public that shark culls do not protect swimmers. "A more scientific-based narrative meant telling the public that nothing can be done or that the government did not know what was going on," Mr Neff explains. During an initial 13-week trial mid-last year, more than 170 sharks were caught by baited lines known as drum lines. However, none were Great White sharks, to which most of the recent fatal attacks had been attributed. Premier Barnett reluctantly cancelled the program in September but a special agreement with the Federal Government means Western Australia can still hunt sharks that are considered a threat. The cull attracted a lot of opposition and protesters are now planning a third rally at Cottesloe Beach since culling began, for 1 February. Locals are still going to patrolled beaches in big numbers, says Surf Life Saving WA. However, the way people use the beach is changing, according to its chief executive officer, Paul Andrew. "The beach usage first thing in the morning [when sharks are prevalent] has dropped significantly but beach usage at other times has increased, particularly at patrolled beaches," says Mr Andrew. "Beach behaviours have also changed with swimmers staying closer to shore, swimming in groups and swimming in greater numbers at times other than dawn and dusk," he says. For cultural studies academic Jon Stratton, narratives around shark attacks are feeding into a cultural myth of Perth as an isolated suburban paradise, constantly in danger of losing its laid-back way of life. "There's this sense that once upon a time, Perth was this utopia, this Arcadia, and now we've lost that - there are these terrible creatures threatening our lifestyle," says the retired Curtin University professor. Decades ago, Perth's small-town sense of safety was shattered by serial killer Eric Edgar Cooke. Nicknamed the "Night Caller", he terrorised Perth from 1959 to 1963, committing 22 violent crimes, including eight murders. From then on, residents who usually left their homes unlocked at night and their car keys in the ignition changed their habits. "This is the moment when people in Perth can no longer leave their doors and windows unlocked, can no longer allow their children to play in the streets," says Professor Stratton. "This moment keeps changing. It is always marked by some awful event." There has always been a sense, he says, that nature has not been completely tamed. "We get it here with bushfires, we get it with mosquitoes, sharks, but basically we are constantly under threat from nature, as if this city isn't securely anchored and could be wiped off the map almost at any time," he says. "This is the point at which the myth of the threat of nature takes over from the myth of the laid-back, easygoing lifestyle of lying on the beach and swimming around in the blue sea." Valerie Amos told the BBC she had heard accounts of near starvation, including in the capital, Damascus. Baroness Amos said she had spoken to the government about trying to get humanitarian access. She said the situation in the country was getting worse by the day and she had heard horrific tales of suffering. The situation on the ground keeps shifting, but a confidential UN document leaked to the BBC in late December said more than a quarter of a million Syrians are stuck in "besieged or hard to access areas". Humanitarian crisis explainedQ&A: Geneva II Starving an area is a war crime. In Syria, food is a weapon of war used by all sides as they try to gain ground militarily, says the BBC's Lyse Doucet. The uprising began in March 2011 and the UN says more than 100,000 people have died in the conflict. Baroness Amos' visit comes less than two weeks before the planned start of an international conference in Switzerland to find a political solution to the war. Foreign ministers from 11 countries that back the Syrian opposition movement met in Paris on Sunday with the aim of persuading the opposition to attend the Geneva II talks. The so-called Friends of Syria said on Sunday that there would be "no political solution for Syria unless Geneva 2 meets". Ahmad Jarba, the leader of the Syrian National Coalition, said it had been agreed that President Bashar al-Assad and his family would have no role in the country's future. But Mr Jarba did not say whether the Coalition would take part in the 22 January talks. The Coalition asserts President Assad has no intention of negotiating his own departure, especially now that the military opposition is itself compromised by the rise of Islamist groups. There is an almost complete disconnect between the effective forces on the ground inside the country, and the Western-backed Coalition - which claims to be the sole representative of the Syrian people, says BBC Middle East correspondent Jim Muir. Baroness Amos said she was "really worried" about people in communities who had been besieged for long periods, in some cases for more than a year. "The sick and wounded have not been able to leave, we've not been able to get food in. "There are reports of people on the brink of starvation including in the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp close to the centre of Damascus," she told the BBC. She described the situation as "unimaginable". She said the Syrian government had given assurances that they would help the UN to get humanitarian access. "We talked in particular about how we can try to get into these besieged communities - this has been part of the conversations that I've had with the government on a number of occasions. "I have been assured by the deputy foreign minister and also by the foreign minister that the government will do everything that they can to help us to facilitate that access." Speaking on Friday, UN official Christopher Gunness said residents in the Yarmouk camp, including infants and children, have been subsisting on diets of such things as stale vegetables, animal feed and cooking spices dissolved in water. He said infants were suffering from diseases linked to severe malnutrition, including anaemia, rickets, and kwashiorkor [a protein deficiency]. The Syrian Observatory said separately that it had documented the deaths of 41 Palestinian refugees as a result of food and medical shortages in the past three months. The marine mammal replaces the much-loved Diplodocus dinosaur, "Dippy", which will soon head out on a tour of the UK. The museum believes the change will give its image a refresh. It wants to be known more for its living science than its old fossils. The museum employs hundreds of researchers who engage in active study on a day-to-day basis. Yes, they use the 80 million-odd specimens kept at the South Kensington institution, but their focus is on learning new things that bear down on the modern world. In that sense, the blue whale is regarded as the perfect emblem. The specimen is being given the name "Hope" as a "symbol of humanity's power to shape a sustainable future". Blue whales are now making a recovery following decades of exploitation that nearly drove them out of existence. The Natural History Museum is closed to the public all day Thursday for final preparations Staff have spent months preparing the 126-year-old skeleton for its new role. First, it had to be removed from its old hanging space in the mammals gallery. Then it had to be cleaned and in a few places repaired and strengthened. And finally, it had to be re-hung from the iron girders that support the ceiling in the Waterhouse building's spectacular Hintze Hall. The BBC was given exclusive access to the whole process, and a Horizon documentary, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, will go out on BBC Two at 21:00 BST on Thursday. The film will air at about the same time as the NHM's patron, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Sir David, inaugurate the new exhibit at a gala reception. A great many people were involved in the make-over, but the promotion of the whale represents something of a personal triumph for Richard Sabin, the museum's principal curator of mammals. He championed the change and suggested the dynamic lunge-feeding pose that the whale now assumes. It was on a visit to the NHM in 1976, as a boy of 10, that Richard first saw the skeleton in its old display position. He describes that experience as transformative. "I was absolutely blown away," he told BBC News. "I remember running up the stairs to the balcony and asking an attendant if the whale skeletons in the gallery were real. And she said 'yes, and not only that you can still see these animals in the ocean today'. "I got home and the very next day I headed down to the public library to try to find as many books as I could on whales. It was, to coin a phase, a defining moment." For the Horizon film, Richard can be seen tracing the history of the specimen - meeting the descendants of the Irish fisherman who despatched the animal with a makeshift harpoon after it had beached off County Wexford in March 1891. But he also travels to North America, to the Pacific Coast, to join the Cascadia Research Group as they track migrating blue whales. The group, co-founded by John Calambokidis, attaches tags to the giant creatures. Held on by suction cups, these devices record the behaviour of the whales, even capturing 4K video as they dive underwater. The team is learning key facts that will help conserve the majestic animals, which went to the brink of oblivion thanks to 20th Century hunters. "We've discovered that blue whales spend twice as much time at the surface at night than they do in the day," John told Horizon. "That's the period when they're most vulnerable to ship strikes. That identified right there that we need to be most concerned about ships and their transiting through blue whale areas at night rather than the day." For Richard, the observation of whales in the Pacific confirmed his desire to see the conservation icon put centre-stage at his museum back in London. "It's been an honour and a privilege to work with the specimen that inspired me all those years ago - to breathe new life into it; to inject science from the field into it; to display it in a much more meaningful way. "I honestly believe it will take people's breath away when they see it. "Thursday is going to be an amazing day for everyone involved; I am sure there will be plaudits for what we've done. But I can't wait for Friday morning when the first families, the first schoolchildren, walk through the door and I get to hear what they've got to say about what they see." Fans of Dippy should not despair. After the dinosaur's two-year tour of Britain, it will return to a make-over of its own. The skeleton, which is actually only a plaster cast, will be fashioned again in bronze and placed in the east garden in front of the museum. You can watch a trail for Horizon: Dippy and the Whale. After broadcast on BBC Two, the programme will be available on the iPlayer. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos

The departure of the Portuguese coach was revealed on Monday, with Ahly's Twitter page declaring the 55-year-old's contract had been terminated. On Tuesday the Portuguese side Porto confirmed earlier reports that Peseiro is the club's new coach. Peseiro was appointed by Ahly only in October and the club said on Monday it dismissed him because he was "unable to withstand the pressure and criticism". "The board has decided to terminate Peseiro's contract after he asked not to continue his mission," Ahly said in a statement on their website. "Peseiro said he cannot bear the recent criticism and pressure anymore, plus that he already endures bad luck. "Club president Mahmoud Taher tried to persuade the coach to stay put, promising him full backing. But he acknowledged that Ahly fans no longer accept his presence after the recent poor results." Ahly have appointed Abdel-Aziz Abdel-Shafi as caretaker boss for the second time in a few months. According to reports in the Portuguese media, Peseiro is on the verge of taking the reins at Porto, who are looking for a new manager after sacking Julen Lopetegui 11 days ago. 1. The original Daleks: The original Daleks were controlled from the inside by short operators who had to manipulate their eyestalks, domes and arms, as well as flashing the lights on their heads in sync with the actor's voices. John Scott Martin, one of the original Dalek operators, once said: "If you were related to an octopus then it helped!" 2. Title sequences: There have been around 12 different title sequences. The theme music was originally composed by Ron Grainer and created by Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Since then there have been a vast variety of remixes of the theme music. Matt Smith (the 11th Doctor) even got up on stage at the 2010 Glastonbury Festival to perform a version of the music with the band Orbital. 3. Home: The Doctor has visited many different planets, but his home planet is called Gallifrey. 4. Medical doctor: The Doctor actually is a doctor! In a sickbay in the 1967 story The Moonbase, the Doctor was asked, "Listen, are you really a medical doctor?" He replied, "Yes, I think I was once, Polly. I think I took a degree once in Glasgow. 1888 I think. Lister." 5. Bow ties: "Bow ties are cool" - that's what Matt Smith said in his first appearance as the Doctor. Bow tie sales shot up by 94% within a month at one high street store! 6. Gadgets: The Doctor has an array of gadgets, including the sonic screwdriver - which has many uses including the ability to unlock almost anything - and the psychic paper, which can bamboozle people into seeing whatever the user wants them to see printed on it. 7. Red Nose Day: In 1999, a four-episode special of Doctor Who called The Curse of Fatal Death was made for Red Nose Day. It featured big name stars such as Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), Richard E. Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, and Joanna Lumley as The Doctor. 8. Regeneration: The regeneration effect, used for when one Doctor changes into the next one, was created at the end of the first series by accident! A faulty mixing desk allowed the image of William Hartnell (the first Doctor) to be overexposed almost to white so that Patrick Troughton (the second Doctor) could be put in his place before the effect faded again. 9. Multiple Doctors: The 50th anniversary episode will not be the first time more than one Doctor will have appeared in the same episode. For the show's 20th anniversary, a feature-length special called The Five Doctors was created, featuring the first five Doctors. 10. Doctor's real name: The Doctor's real name remains a complete mystery to all but a very small number of individuals including The Master, River Song and Clara Oswald. 11. Sherlock-tor Who? The character of the Doctor was partly inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Comparisons have been made between the Doctor and the fictional detective. In fact both the fourth and eleventh Doctors have dressed up as Sherlock Holmes in episodes of Doctor Who. 12. The biggest fan: A six year-old-boy called Flynn was named as the UK's biggest Doctor Who fan after a nation-wide search by the Doctor Who Adventures magazine this year. He won the title as a result of his monster themed tea-party idea, and a letter explaining how much he loves the show. Both he and his twin brother would like to be future Doctors. 13. Celery. Yum! The fifth Doctor wore a piece of celery on his lapel because he was allergic to a certain gas in the Praxis Range. Once the celery turned purple he would eat it and it would save him. 14. What's the time, Weeping Angels? The Weeping Angels are based on the children's game What's the time, Mr Wolf? 15. The Whomobile: (Not to be confused with the Batmobile) the Whomobile was a special vehicle created by the third Doctor and first appeared in the episode called Invasion of the Dinosaurs. It was capable of speeds of 105mph and even appeared on Blue Peter! 16. Matt's outfit: The original costume ideas for eleventh Doctor Matt Smith's look were very different from his iconic tweed jacket and bow tie. Some of the costume ideas included a buccaneer pirate-style one, which Matt wasn't very keen on. 17. Lost and found: The original pilot episode, which was thought to be lost forever, was rediscovered in 1978 in a mislabelled film can. 18. The key to the TARDIS: The distinctive TARDIS sound effect was originally created by simply rubbing the bass strings of a piano with a key. This sound was then modified by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and then became the well-known sound effect that they still use variations of today! 19. Rewriting history: During his travels throughout time the Doctor has met and in some cases befriended plenty of historical figures, including: Leonardo da Vinci, William Shakespeare, Albert Einstein, Charles Dickens, Queen Victoria, Elizabeth I and Winston Churchill. 20. Top seller: Doctor Who is currently BBC Worldwide's biggest selling TV show around the world. 21. Lady Doctor? When the original series was struggling with ratings in the 1980s, the show's co-creator, Sydney Newman, wrote a letter to BBC One Controller Michael Grade, suggesting some radical new ideas for the show, including the introduction of a Time-Lady (a female Doctor). 22. Most-watched episode: City Of Death featuring the fourth Doctor, scored the highest viewing figures of any Doctor Who episode in the UK, drawing in over sixteen million viewers. The second highest is Voyage of the Damned starring Kylie Minogue and David Tennant as the eleventh Doctor, which on its original airdate was watched by 13.31 million viewers, and as of November 2013 still has the highest viewership of any episode since the show's return in 2005. 23. TARDIS-teroid: Asteroid 3325, a main belt asteroid discovered in 1984, is named TARDIS after the Doctor's time/space machine. 24. The Young Doctor: Matt Smith is the youngest actor to play The Doctor, starting at 26 years old. 25. Former fanboys: Both Peter Capaldi (the twelfth Doctor) and David Tennant (the tenth Doctor) were huge fans of Doctor Who growing up. David Tennant's nan even knitted him a scarf like the fourth Doctor's, and Peter Capaldi regularly sent letters, and essays into the Doctor Who production office, and wanted to run the Doctor Who fan Club. 26. B&W Who: Before 1970 Doctor Who was filmed in black-and-white. Spearhead From Space was the first serial to be shot in colour. 27. Alien Doctor: Although Time Lords look human, they are aliens, and they have quite a few physical differences: the Doctor has two hearts, a "respiratory bypass system" that allows him to go without air for much longer than a human, an internal body temperature of 15-16C, and the ability to absorb, withstand, and expel large amounts of certain types of radiation! 28. Oldest friend: Jamie McCrimmon was the Doctor's longest-running companion appearing in 116 episodes. He helped the second Doctor to battle the Daleks, the Cybermen, Yetis and Ice Warriors. 29. The shortest stint: The eighth Doctor, played by Paul McGann, starred in just one feature-length episode of Doctor Who made in 1996, not a TV series. 30. Award-winner: In 26 years, between 1963-1989, Doctor Who only won two awards, a Royal Television Society award and a Writer's Guild of Great Britain award. However, the newly-revived series from 2005 onwards has received great recognition from critics and the public, winning over 120 awards, and being nominated for 230, including Baftas and NTAs. 31. The big birthday party: The 50th anniversary episode has been filmed in 3D and will also be screened on television in around 75 different countries, and on the big screen in around 400 selected cinemas crossing time-zones in 8 different countries around the world! 32. Doctor/wife/daughter/Doctor/eh? David Tennant, who plays the 10th Doctor, is in real life married to Georgia Moffett, who is the daughter of Peter Davidson, who played the fifth Doctor! Not only that, Georgia also played The Doctor's cloned daughter in the episode The Doctor's Daughter. 33. The most fearsome enemy: First appearing in 1963 with the catchphrase "EXTERMINATE", the Daleks are considered one of the Doctor's most fearsome foes. They were even voted as the "greatest monsters in the galaxy" in 2010 by readers of the Science Fiction magazine SFX. 34. Dictionary corner: The words "TARDIS" and "Dalek" became so familiar to British audiences that they were added to the Oxford English Dictionary. 35. Hitchhiker's writer joined the team: Douglas Adams, who created the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, also wrote scripts, and even became the script editor for Doctor Who in 1979. 36. The fourth is the longest: Tom Baker (the fourth Doctor) played the Doctor the longest, reaching 7 years, and starring in around 172 episodes between 1974-1981. His companions included Sarah Jane Smith and K-9. 37. Why the TARDIS is shaped like a police box: The Doctor's TARDIS has a broken "Chameleon circuit" which is supposed to enable it to disguise itself to blend into any environment. For example in ancient Rome, it might look like a Roman pillar or statue from the outside. However in the first ever episode An Unearthly Child, we discover that the circuit is broken and the TARDIS is stuck in the shape of a police box. 38. Breaking new ground: Verity Lambert became the youngest drama Producer at the BBC in 1963 when she accepted the role to work on Doctor Who. She was also the first woman to gain such a role in television. 39. Family ties: Caitlin Blackwood, who played the young Amelia Pond, is Karen Gillan's real life cousin. The first time they met was at an on set read-through, as Caitlin was born in Northern Ireland and Karen in Scotland. 40. The sonic screwdriver: The iconic gadget first appeared in 1968, and was used by the second Doctor. It was then written out of the series in 1982 due to the limitations it caused when writing for the show. It then featured briefly in the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie, before making a full return in 2005. 41. The opener: The first ever episode of Doctor Who, called An Unearthly Child, first appeared on BBC TV on 23 November 1963. On the same date this year the 50th anniversary episode will be broadcast simultaneously all over the world. 42. Record breaker: Doctor Who is listed in the Guinness World Records as the "longest running science fiction television show in the world" (with 798 episodes as of the 18th May 2013), and as the "world's most successful science fiction series", based on broadcast ratings, and sales. 43. The TARDIS: The acronym stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space, and is The Doctor's chosen mode of transport for travelling through time. It is also bigger on the inside than on the outside. 44. One take: Many early episodes of Doctor Who were recorded in just one single take, so if the actors fluffed their lines, the others had to cover for them. 45. Villains and monsters: The Doctor and his companions have fought and encountered around 400 unique monsters/aliens/villains throughout the series, including The Daleks, The Cybermen, Weeping Angels and Ood. 46. Familiar faces: Peter Capaldi (The 12th Doctor) and Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) both previously appeared in the episode The Fires of Pompeii as side characters before gaining their roles later on in the series. 47. 'Banned' in China: Doctor Who (and other television programmes and films featuring time-travel) are essentially banned in China, because the government authorities don't want to promote anything that could be seen as re-writing history. 48. The big scarf: The Fourth Doctor's iconic scarf was created by accident. The costume maker misunderstood her instructions for the scarf and knitted all the wool she had been given. However, Tom Baker liked the overly-long scarf, and went on to wear it for the show anyway. 49. The missing episodes: In the 1960s and 1970s the BBC would routinely destroy TV tapes rather than archiving them. The transmission tapes of 253 Doctor Who episodes were destroyed, as it was thought they had no future value. To this day, 97 of them are still missing, however copies are being found and recovered from all over the world. 50. Codename Torchwood: Tapes of the early episodes were codenamed Torchwood - an anagram of Doctor Who - to protect them from being stolen. The name was then an obvious choice for the later spin-off series. The 1988 Winter Olympics star confirmed the biopic was in production. Edwards, who lives in Gloucestershire, has lent his old ski jumping gear to producers and said he had offered to help because nobody jumps in the old "classic" style any more. It has been reported Welsh actor Taron Egerton will portray Eddie in the film. Hugh Jackman will play his mentor. The 51-year-old ski jumper, whose real name is Michael Edwards, became world famous upon finishing a distant last at the Calgary Olympics of 1988. A movie about his life has been talked about for several years. Previously both Steve Coogan and Rupert Grint were reported to be lined up to play him. "When the latest reports [about the film going ahead] first came out, I took it with a huge pinch of salt because this has been mentioned in the papers for the last 20 years and nothing's ever come of it," said Edwards. "But now it looks like something's actually happening." He said he had met producers last month and has since met with set designers and costume designers to discuss the film. "They've taken my Olympic uniform to be replicated for the movie," he said. "It'll be fun. I'm a little bit excited, but I'll only believe it when it actually happens and they begin filming." Edwards, who lives in the Stroud Valleys, said he had not yet seen a script but had been told Jackman would be playing his mentor. He said the ski-jumping parts of the movie would begin filming in February. "I met with Dexter [Fletcher], who's one of the producers, before Christmas and they expressed a problem with finding ski jumpers who could jump in the old "classic" style [with skis parallel] because for the last 25 years everybody's been jumping in the new "V" style. "I said I'd be quite willing to do it, because I can still jump the classic style, and do some jumping in the movie. "I've given them all my old ski jumping equipment that I used 30 years ago which is now defunct, but it's still jumpable. "You can still jump on the skis, and with the bindings - it's just they'll have difficulty finding somebody who'll be brave enough to jump with the old equipment." "Robots should work!" he shouts during an otherwise calm interview in the Boston headquarters of Rethink Robotics, the company he founded in 2008. Asking Brooks about cute, "useless" robots makes him wild. As one of the inventors of the Roomba vacuuming robot and the roadside bomb disposing PackBot, Brooks has made robots work for humans perhaps more than any other robotics engineer. Now he's making robots to work alongside humans in factories. "We're trying to change the nature of robots in factories," Mr Brooks says from the Boston headquarters of Rethink Robotics, where engineers tinker with dozens of robots in the open office space. Manufacturers the world over complain that no one wants to do the mundane dirty work required in factories, especially the young. The average age of a skilled US factory worker is now 56. In China, once the offshore labour capital of the world, rising costs and a higher standard of living make it increasingly difficult for manufacturers to attract and retain workers. Traditional robots can often take over duties turned down by human workers but Mr Brooks says these machines can take more than 18 months to be installed, often at prohibitive costs. The systems require highly skilled technicians and operators. The key to his latest robots "Baxter" and "Sawyer" is that ordinary people can easily train them, no PhD or engineering degree required. He says the company aims to make Baxter and Sawyer as easy to program as smart phones. Rethink Robotics started selling Baxter the robot for just $25,000 in 2012. Baxter was designed to work nimbly alongside humans in factories, able to change tasks and move easily around the factory floor when tasks changed. Sawyer, their other robot costs $29,000 and is now for sale around the world. Recently Rethink Robotics struck a deal with Shanghai Electric which will distribute the machines in China. But some people remain nervous about the growing role of robots. Martin Ford, the author of "Rise of the Robots", says robots will change the global economy in drastic ways beyond manufacturing. White collar jobs, are equally susceptible and likely more at risk, he says. Will a robot take your job? "I think it's inevitable that robots will displace a lot of jobs, if you have a PhD in science and engineering, you're probably safe. But that's not many people," Ford says. "We can't stop it. We can't educate ourselves out of it. Top level, highly creative, highly skilled jobs will survive. But most people do average stuff. Even if we tried we couldn't educate every person to be a rocket scientist or brain surgeon." Mr Brooks is less concerned. He thinks fears of robots taking over jobs are overblown and that robots will improve people's lives. "I think there's a misconception amongst the wealthy people in the bubble that there are endless rows of people wanting dull, boring jobs in factories. It's not true," Mr Brooks says, adding that robots will become more pervasive in society as baby boomers age and require more self-driving cars and home healthcare. Mr Brooks became interested in robots as a child growing up in Australia. By age 4, he was known as "the professor" because of his mathematical skills. His mother bought him two books on computers and he was hooked. "Since I was 7 or 8 I've wanted to build robots or computers. That's been my life," he said. He was the first in his family to attend university and eventually he earned a PhD in computer science at Stanford University, working in Silicon Valley before it was dubbed "Silicon." Some may recognise Mr Brooks from the 1997 Errol Morris documentary "Fast Cheap & Out of Control," named after one of his research papers. "Fast, cheap and out of control. There may not be a place for humans in the future if we're really successful," Mr Brooks says to the camera in the documentary, which also portrays a man obsessed with mole rats, a topiary gardener and a retired lion tamer. When asked if he still believes that, Mr Brooks laughs and says: "You can't expect me to stand by something I said during a long day of filming 20 years ago!" Looking ahead 20 years, Mr Brooks thinks care of the elderly and disaster response will be the biggest advances for robotics in society. He cites the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in Japan often when discussing robots. After an earthquake damaged the nuclear power plant, PackBots were sent in to sift through debris and send back images to humans working at a safer distance. "Companion robots weren't any use in Fukushima," Brooks says. "And elderly people don't want companion robots. The elderly want control of their lives. They want dignity and they want independence." "They don't want cute robots - it's about doing real tasks to make their lives easier." The Digital Disruptors is a series about the people and companies shaking up business with new technology. Clubs in the English top flight spent a total of £870m, up from the £835m record set last year. The transfer window opened on 1 July and closed at 18:00 UK time on Tuesday. Manchester City was the biggest-spending club, agreeing to pay about £160m for new talent, which was a record for a single club. "This summer has seen another record level of transfer spending, as Premier League clubs continue to use increases in their revenue to invest in playing talent," said Alex Thorpe from the Sports Business Group at Deloitte. "Total spending in 2015, across both the January and summer windows, is also a new record, reaching the £1bn mark for the first time." Increasing domestic and overseas broadcast revenue was the main driver behind rising spending on players, he added. "Looking across Europe, Premier League clubs' gross and net spending this summer is more than double that of any other European league." Houses were ransacked while commercial premises and a youth club were also targeted, prosecutors said. Two men allegedly behind the robberies were arrested in a 4x4 vehicle towing a caravan stolen from one property, the court heard. Details emerged as one of the accused was refused bail. John Connors, a 35-year-old farm labourer from Laire in Kilcock, County Kildare, faces a total of 30 charges. These include multiple counts of burglary, attempted theft, going equipped for theft and possession of an offensive weapon. He was arrested along with his co-accused in Rostrevor on 23 January. Opposing his release, the prosecution lawyer said: "Given this was a crime spree over a period of days, if the applicant is admitted to bail he's a real risk of re-offending." He said Mr Connors' co-accused had absconded after gaining temporary release, and remained at large. The prosecution lawyer said the charges related to 20 different reports to police in the three days up to his arrests, including: A defence barrister said that only three of the incidents had any evidential link to his client. He described Mr Connors as a settled member of the Travelling community and a father of seven. Mr Connors was merely a drunken passenger at the time of his arrest, the barrister said, adding that it was a "very weak circumstantial case". Refusing bail, the judge rejected a proposal for him to live at a property in Newry. He added: "It would be far better to try and get an address further into Northern Ireland." The visitors went ahead when Chris Higgins headed in from a free-kick by Ryan Conroy. Falkirk were level when Myles Hippolyte's cross was head in by John Biard from close range. Queen of the South defender Andy Dowie headed a cross into his own net, before Blair Alston drove low into the bottom corner of the goal.

The deal was signed before 2008 when Amazon bought audio book supplier Audible, which had the Apple iBooks contract. Pressure from anti-trust regulators in Germany and the European Commission led to the deal being abandoned. Competition in the audio book market should get a boost now the deal has ended, said regulators. The terms of the agreement meant Audible could not offer audio books to any other company and Apple had to take audio books only from Audible. The investigation into the Apple-Amazon arrangement over audio books was started by the German Federal Cartel Office in late 2015. It responded to complaints from German publishers who said the two tech giants were abusing their market dominance. In Germany, said the publishers, more than 90% of all downloads of audio books were done via the Apple iTunes store or through the Amazon and Audible websites. With the deal abandoned, Audible will now be able to supply firms other than Apple with audio books. In addition, Apple can now get audio books from other sources and sign up other publishers who can push their titles through its iTunes and iBooks outlets. In a statement, competition regulators at the European Commission said they "welcomed" the ending of the exclusivity contract. "This step is likely to improve competition in downloadable audio book distribution in Europe," said the statement. The German Federal Cartel office said it had closed its investigation as a result of Apple and Amazon terminating the exclusive contract. They say it would be hypocritical of the party to refuse them after it said employees should sit on company boards. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been asked for reassurances that a clear out of staff will not take place. A staff member said: "We have years of experience and expertise and they belittle us at every opportunity." Sources inside the party, and those close to workers there, have told BBC Radio 4's Today programme they are disgusted by reports they could be "purged" after the leadership election and are terrified about losing their jobs. One even suggested there could be strike action, although none is currently planned. A submission asking for places for staff on the committee, and seen by the BBC, said: "It is disappointing that while the Tory prime minister has promised worker representation on company boards that Labour Party workers are currently unrepresented on their own executive." Refusing the places would be "deeply hypocritical", the submission said. It demands two new seats on the NEC for Labour staff who are trade union members, in addition to the position already reserved for the party's general secretary. Labour's staff are represented by the GMB and Unite unions. In a letter to workers earlier this week Mr Corbyn said he did not support compulsory redundancies, and "at this stage" no staff changes had been proposed. He urged them to ignore anonymous stories in the press, but he did not rule out redundancies in the future. He wrote: "I can only reiterate the comments I had made previously in my communication to all Party staff that attacks on individuals in the media are not acceptable." He was responding to an email from a union representative on Monday which said staff were "deeply disappointed" and demanded "a message of solidarity and support for unionised Labour Party workers in the face of any attempts to "purge" or "clear-out" hard-working staff". Mr Corbyn is taking on rival Labour MP Owen Smith to be leader of the Labour Party, and voting closed on Wednesday. The result will be announced in Liverpool on Saturday. The Queen's husband, who will be 92 on Monday, was admitted to the London Clinic on Thursday and is expected to stay in hospital for about two weeks. Buckingham Palace said the admission was pre-arranged and not an emergency. Prime Minister David Cameron said the duke was held in the "highest esteem" by the British people and the whole country would be wishing him well. By Peter HuntRoyal correspondent Publicly, the talk is of Prince Philip being "in good spirits". Privately, officials will know this is a potentially serious moment as the Queen's husband - who'll be 92 in three days' time - undergoes surgery under general anaesthetic. In the past week, the prince went unnoticed to the London Clinic for what the Palace has called "abdominal investigations". These were prompted by routine tests which showed that something was amiss. The precise nature of the problem hasn't been disclosed. But whatever it is that has been discovered will now be tackled by what's being described as an "exploratory operation" at the private hospital in central London. Unfortunately for the Queen, during an anxious time in her life, she'll be on display in a building full of journalists when she officially opens the BBC's London headquarters, Broadcasting House. The Queen is continuing with her engagements for the day, and has officially opened the BBC's rebuilt Broadcasting House in central London. As the Queen toured the BBC's new headquarters, Radio 4 Today programme presenter John Humphrys asked her how the Duke of Edinburgh was. "I don't know," she replied, before adding: "He's not ill." The duke went to hospital straight after a Buckingham Palace garden party on Thursday afternoon. Guests said he showed no signs of being unwell. Prince Philip will undergo surgery under general anaesthetic and the Palace said in a statement that further updates would be issued "when appropriate". The prime minister sent a personal message to the Duke of Edinburgh on Thursday wishing him a speedy recovery. He said the duke was an "extraordinarily dedicated public servant". "I know the whole country will be thinking about him, thinking about the family and wishing him well," he added. Meanwhile, Prince Philip's grandson, Peter Phillips, said he was in "good hands". Speaking at a show jumping event in east London, he said: "We are being kept up to date in terms of what's happening, but he's one of those people who just wouldn't want you to stop because he's gone into hospital." In the past week, the duke has been having unannounced "abdominal investigations" at the hospital in central London, where police officers have been standing guard outside. Prince Philip pulled out of an engagement for the Royal National Institute of Blind People on Monday, after becoming unwell ahead of attending a service at Westminster Abbey marking the 60th anniversary of the Queen's coronation. The Queen had been due to visit the BBC's £1bn headquarters with the duke, but instead carried out the engagement alone. The monarch met personalities such as Sir Bruce Forsyth and David Dimbleby, and watched The Voice star Danny O'Donoghue sing with his band The Script in Radio 1's Live Lounge. The Queen was shown around the state-of the-art broadcasting centre - home to BBC News and World Service among others - by BBC director general Tony Hall and BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten, as well as meeting journalists in the newsroom. The last time the Queen visited Broadcasting House was seven years ago to mark the 80th anniversary of the corporation's Royal Charter. By James GallagherHealth and science reporter, BBC News The risks of surgery and general anesthesia do increase with age. Older patients are inevitably more frail - all their organs are weaker, which increases the risk of complications. They are also more likely to have chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or kidney failure. Medication taken to manage such conditions also affect the cocktail of anaesthetic drugs that can be given. Tim Cook, consultant anaesthetist at Royal United Hospital in Bath, said: "Patients in their 70s and 80s appear regularly on operating lists, but operating on patients in their 90s is relatively uncommon. "But a lot of ninety-year-olds having ops are surprisingly fit and do quite well." Blood pressure and oxygen levels can drop during the operation and in the days afterwards. If this is not managed it could lead to a stroke, heart attack or other complications. In April, Buckingham Palace played down fears about the Duke of Edinburgh's health after he was pictured in Canada with purplish skin around his eye. It said he did not fall and simply woke up with the discoloration. Prince Philip has been admitted to hospital three other times in the past two years after suffering health scares. After attending events to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee a year ago, he went to hospital for five nights after sustaining a bladder infection. He spent four days in hospital over Christmas 2011 following an operation to clear a blocked heart artery. In August 2012, he was treated at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for a bladder infection. Kate Williams, royal historian at Royal Holloway, University of London, said Prince Philip "is a man who is determined to carry on". She added: "He has had seven public engagements this week. There probably aren't many people across the country in their 90s who are keeping up such a schedule." Simon Galloway, a consultant general surgeon at the University Hospital of South Manchester, said a fortnight is a "fairly lengthy" hospital admission but it was not usual for someone of the duke's age. Initial tie-ups include letting Mercedes cars and Jawbone Up wristbands turn the heating on, and allowing Lifx's wi-fi connected light bulbs to flash red if smoke is detected. Nest's co-founder Matt Rogers told the BBC that users would have control over which link-ups were allowed. But one expert warned that hackers might try to exploit the facility. "You don't want to get woken up at 04:00 by a smoke alarm because of malicious activity," said Dr Ian Brown, from the Oxford Internet Institute. "Google in general are very good as internet security goes, but it will be very interesting to see how long it might be before the first vulnerabilities are found in these systems." Although Nest is opening up its application program interfaces (APIs) - the code that controls how the different software programs interact - to "anybody" via its website, Mr Rogers said steps had been taken to restrict rogue developers. "We still have the ability to deactivate their accounts and basically delete all their integrations," he said. "We have also put a limit in the developer programme of how far they can get without actually having to go through some approval processes. "They can go up to 1,000 users without having to talk to us... but over that they have to get formal approval and go through a testing process." Google bought Nest for $3.2bn (£1.8bn) earlier this year despite the fact it only had two relatively niche products on sale. The search firm's chairman Eric Schmidt described the acquisition at the time as "an important bet" on intelligent devices for the home that were "infinitely more useable" than existing kit. Others are also making early steps into what is being called the "internet of things": Nest's devices can already be controlled by tablets and smartphones, but its latest move adds further options. Mr Rogers said pre-arranged tie-ups meant Jawbone's Up wristband's motion sensor could now be used to detect when the owner wakes up in order to trigger the heating system. He added that Chamberlain's new internet-connected garage door openers could then turn the Nest Learning Thermostat lower when the homeowner left for work. And if they drove one of Mercedes Benz's new cars, he said, their vehicle would be able to turn the temperature back up again when it estimated they were 30 minutes away from returning. In the case of the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, Mr Rogers said the ability to make it cause Lifx's LED bulbs to flash red could serve as an alert if an owner was hearing impaired. The initial line-up of firms linking their products to Nest's also includes Logitech, Whirlpool, the If This Then That (IFTTT) app, and Google itself. Nest had previously promised not to force owners to share their data with Google, but they now have the option to do so. "The way we think about building out this ecosystem is more than just about connectivity - it's about what are the things you use everyday, and how should they work together," added Mr Rogers. Nest, however, was not yet ready to discuss how this strategy might apply to Dropcam's line-up of video, sound and window/door-motion sensors, which it is in the process of acquiring for $550m. The incident occurred at the KOF convenience store in Dumbarton Road, Yoker, at about 11:20 on Sunday. The injured man is currently in a stable condition at the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. The 25-year-old man who has been detained is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday. US President Barack Obama said that with the deal, "every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off" for Iran. And President Hassan Rouhani said the "historic" deal opened a "new chapter" in Iran's relations with the world. Negotiations between Iran and six world powers - the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany - began in 2006. The so-called P5+1 want Iran to scale back its sensitive nuclear activities to ensure that it cannot build a nuclear weapon. Iran, which wants crippling international sanctions lifted, has always insisted that its nuclear work is peaceful. Follow our live updates A good deal, for now? Deal shakes Middle East media Good or bad for Middle East? There has been stiff resistance to a deal from conservatives both in Iran and the US. The US Congress has 60 days in which to consider the deal, though Mr Obama said he would veto any attempt to block it. The Republican Speaker of the US House of Representatives, John Boehner, said the deal would only only "embolden" Tehran. "Instead of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, this deal is likely to fuel a nuclear arms race around the world," he added. Israel's government has also warned against an agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was a "stunning historic mistake" that would provide Iran with "hundreds of billions of dollars with which it can fuel its terror machine and its expansion and aggression throughout the Middle East and across the globe". He said he did not regard Israel as being bound by this agreement. "We will always defend ourselves," he added. In a televised address, Mr Obama insisted the deal would make the world "safer and more secure", and provided for a rigorous verification regime. "This deal is not built on trust - it is built on verification," he said. Immediately afterwards, Mr Rouhani gave his own televised address, in which he said the prayers of Iranians had "come true". He said the deal would lead to the removal of all sanctions, adding: "The sanctions regime was never successful, but at the same time it affected people's lives.'' After 12 years, world powers had finally "recognised the nuclear activities of Iran", he said. The agreement will change the Middle East, perhaps a lot, but at the moment no-one knows exactly how. The biggest question is whether it will reduce or increase the turmoil in the Middle East. Iran and the world's big powers, most significantly the US, now have a habit of working together - but don't assume that will help automatically to resolve the crises and wars that Iran, the US and their allies are involved with in the region. There is a danger that mutual suspicion will heat up the Middle East's fault lines, especially the cold war between Iran and Saudi Arabia - and with it sectarian conflict between Shia and Sunni Muslims. But the agreement in Vienna removes Iran's nuclear programme from the danger list. Two years ago, as Israel threatened to bomb Iran, it looked likely to lead to a major Middle East war. That in itself is a major diplomatic achievement. Both Mr Rouhani and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif referred to the dispute over Iran's nuclear programme as an "unnecessary crisis". Mr Zarif said the deal was "not perfect for anybody'', but that it was the "best achievement possible that could be reached". Mr Obama, who is trying to persuade a sceptical US Congress of the benefits, said it would oblige Iran to: Sanctions relief would be gradual, Mr Obama said, with an arms embargo remaining in place for five years and an embargo on missiles for eight years. Separately, the IAEA and Iran said they had signed a roadmap to resolve outstanding issues. IAEA head Yukiya Amano told reporters in Vienna, Austria, that his organisation had signed a roadmap "for the clarification of past and present outstanding issues regarding Iran's nuclear programme". He called the agreement a "significant step forward", saying it would allow the agency to "make an assessment of issues relating to possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme by the end of 2015". No prizes for guessing why. The capital's much-hyped two-week trial - private cars with even and odd number plates were only allowed on alternate days - to curb air pollution ended on Friday. The headlines over the weekend said it all: Traffic in Delhi back to square one, moaned one. The whinge is not without basis. Despite many exemptions, the drive, say officials, took more than 100,000 cars off the roads every day, six days a week. That's a lot of vehicles, and so not surprisingly, traffic eased and commuting time - and road rage - shrunk. One report said peak hour traffic was down by a third. More than 9,000 drivers were fined $29 (£20) each for driving a wrong numbered car - a not very substantial number considering the volume of traffic. People carpooled and public transport, including the efficient metro, managed to soak up many commuters who had given up cars. A high decibel campaign by the local government meant that air pollution becoming a talking point among the city's generally apathetic citizenry. Despite reports of some volunteers being harassed by churlish law-breakers, the experiment was widely described as a success. Now the not-so-good news. By all accounts, the jury is still out on whether the trial had any impact on the city's toxic air. Many studies show there is scant data to support the government's claim that the experiment improved air quality. To be sure, tricky weather conditions - low wind speeds did not help in clearing pollutants, for example - were possibly responsible for actual deterioration of air quality during the trial period. It is not even clear, despite some cavalier opinion, whether cars are mainly responsible for the spiralling air pollution - car journeys comprise less than 15% of trips in Delhi, less than half the number in London and Singapore. The tens of thousands of diesel trucks that enter Delhi every day, along with smoke-spewing coal-fired power stations, construction dust, and mass burning of rubbish to keep the homeless warm also contribute handsomely to keep the air foul. Yet, nobody believes cars are not a problem. Sunita Narain of Delhi's Centre for Science and Environment fervently believes cars - especially the diesel-engine ones which are legally allowed to emit more - are an "important part of the pollution story", and the car rationing experiment actually helped moderate air pollution. An unprecedented scaling up of public transport is the only "long-term solution" to clean up the city's odious air, she says. Buoyed by the hoopla over the drive, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has announced that an "improved version" of the car rationing scheme will be announced soon. But does the "success" of the trial tell us anything about a behavioural change - read calm compliance - among the car-loving residents of Delhi? Possibly not, says India's best-known transportation expert Dinesh Mohan. Keep in mind, he says, that all schools were closed during the drive, thus taking off a quarter of the daily trips; many used their old motorcycles for the alternate day; others may have printed fake natural gas stickers- cars running on natural gas were exempt from the trial - or bought false registration plates. Most importantly, all car owners knew in advance that the trial would last only two weeks. "The experiment tells us nothing about how people would react if it was a permanent measure. My suspicion is that if everyone knew this is here to stay, they would not only buy cheap vehicles and become more inventive but also much more angry," he told a newspaper. "It is quite clear that the odd-even experiment has not had a major influence on the overall environment in the city. Therefore, it only serves as a publicity gimmick. There is no city in the world where such a measure has worked over any length of time, nor has it reduced pollution significantly as an isolated intervention, says Dr Mohan. Surely car use in Delhi needs to be minimised. Parking must cost more, engine-size based pollution tax should be imposed to fund public transport, and the city must be made friendlier for pedestrians and cyclists. Environment groups claim a tax on diesel trucks entering Delhi has already led to a 20% reduction of truck traffic. The government's decision to upgrade to higher fuel standards for vehicles - Euro VI - by 2020 should also be welcomed. Still this will be not enough. Air pollution is a fiendishly complicated subject - and much more than vehicular emissions. At its heart, it is mainly a symptom of shambolic urban planning and the inability of the government to deliver basic and essential services to its people. As Sarath Guttikunda, who heads an independent research group, UrbanEmissions.Info says, lack of power supply leads to use of diesel generators, lack of public transport leads to higher demand for private vehicles, and the lack of uncluttered and clean sidewalks and cycle paths lead to more motorised transport. Bad traffic management and on the road parking leads to more congestion. Garbage gets burnt because it simply doesn't get picked up in the first place. Builders are not even pushed to use bowsers to check construction dust. Introducing natural gas, upgrading fuel standards, and pushing out polluting industries will fetch short-term gains - Delhi is living proof of this. Delhi - and India - needs institutional change to fight air pollution. Neither Mr Kejriwal, who rules Delhi, nor Narendra Modi, who rules India, have shown very little stomach for such reform. The Uruguayan converted in the 61st minute from Lionel Messi's pass for his 95th goal in 112 Barcelona games. Vitolo gave Sevilla the lead when he slotted home in the 15th minute before Messi equalised from 18 yards. Barcelona now have 25 points from 11 games, just two behind Real, with Sevilla back on 21 points. Luis Enrique's Spanish champions created numerous chances after the break as they started to open up their opponent's defence. Sevilla keeper Sergio Rico made two good saves to keep his side in the game. He kept out a stinging effort from Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic and then tipped over a shot from Messi, who had received the ball from Suarez's sublime backheel volley. Suarez also produced another brilliant piece of skill when he rounded keeper Rico and then rolled the ball across the six-yard area. The ball eluded Messi, who had failed to read his team-mate's intentions. Sevilla were overawed in the second half but did go close when former Blackburn player Steven Nzonzi headed narrowly wide of Marc-Andre ter Stegen's left-hand upright.

His parents Hannah Henry, 20, and Alistair Walker, 26, of Archdeacon Street, Gloucester, have been remanded in custody accused of child neglect. In a statement, Ah'Kiell's family said: "Our days are so much darker without his smile, but we will never forget the times we had." "We are blessed to have had our beautiful baby boy Ah'Kiell in our family, even if for such a very short time," they added. "He was taken too soon but his beautiful eyes, smile and amazing hair will always be in our hearts. A police investigation into Ah'Kiell's death is continuing. Jon Harbinson, 42, said he didn't speak to co-accused William Lincoln, who is his uncle, for 20 years until they reconciled a year ago. Mr Harbinson is said to have been involved in the plan to get rid of the cash, diamonds and jewellery stolen by a gang in the heist. Both men deny being involved in the burglary. Taxi-driver Mr Harbinson told Woolwich Crown Court he had not met any of those who had admitted being involved in the raid at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company in London apart from John Collins, who was in a relationship with his aunt, and William Lincoln. He had also not spoken to his aunt for 10 years. "It's a bit of a pattern with me," he told the jury. "I fall out with people." When asked about items of jewellery found at his home, Mr Harbinson said one piece, a necklace, was given to him by his grandmother, which had sentimental value to him. Another item, a sovereign ring, was a present from his parents, while another half-sovereign was a gift to his sister when he got his first job, he told the court. Earlier on Monday, Mr Lincoln's friend James Creighton gave evidence. He said Mr Lincoln was known as "Billy the Fish" by friends at the Porchester Spa in Bayswater. Mr Creighton was given the nickname "Jimmy two baths" as he often stays all day at the spa, sometimes having two baths, the court heard. Both he and Mr Lincoln used to "do quite a lot of schmeissing", or Yiddish whipping, the jury was told. Schmeissing is a technique carried out in a hot steam room, where the body is soaped all over with a coarse brush and then scrubbed vigorously. The trial continues.

Labour, the Lib Dems, Conservatives and Scottish Greens have also given their backing to such a report. The multi-million pound line between Edinburgh and the Borders opened to passengers last year. The first minister confirmed her party's support for a feasibility study during a visit to Hawick on Thursday. "The Borders Railway has been a fantastic success - boosting the economy, leading to new house building and supporting tourism in the region," said Ms Sturgeon. "Since it was opened in September last year the number of passengers has exceeded all expectations, with over half a million people travelling on the line by January. "With this kind of success it makes sense to look at extending the line to other communities." Paul Wheelhouse, who will contest the Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire seat for the SNP, said he was "delighted" with the commitment. Jim Hume, set to fight in the same constituency for the Liberal Democrats, said his party had "paved the way" for the line to Tweedbank in 2006 when it was part of the coalition government in Holyrood. "Liberal Democrats have always said that the line to Tweedbank should be seen as the start of a more ambitious vision of getting the line to Hawick and then eventually on to Carlisle, ensuring that more of our Borders communities can reap the economic benefits," he said. He said the key to any feasibility study was that it started with the co-operation of stakeholders "as soon as possible" in order to build on the success of the line to Tweedbank. Labour's Barrie Cunning also said he welcomed Ms Sturgeon's commitment to extending the Borders Railway. "But whatever party is elected to government in May, it has a duty to undertake a real-time feasibility study into extending the Borders railway line which will benefit rural communities in the Borders," he added. Conservative John Lamont said he supported "looking closely" at how the line could be extended to Hawick and on to Carlisle. "However, we need to ensure that local businesses and the potential to maximise investment are central to this process," he said. "This must be about creating jobs for the area and securing our long-term economic prosperity." Scottish Greens' South of Scotland hopeful Sarah Beattie-Smith said it would be "very welcome news" to people in the Borders. "The hugely successful reopening of the Waverley Line last year has shown that not only are people in the Borders better able to access the rest of Scotland, but that the rest of Scotland is waking up to the rich history, vibrant present and future possibilities of the Borders," she said. "Extending the railway to Hawick and Carlisle is very clearly the right thing to do and we lend our full support to the campaign to see it completed." Commons Speaker John Bercow granted an urgent question on Thursday, with the debate expected to begin at 10:15 BST. Seven top Fifa officials were arrested in Zurich on Wednesday following a long-running FBI investigation. Swiss authorities have simultaneously launched an inquiry into the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has told the BBC there is "something deeply wrong at the heart of Fifa" and it needs to "clean up its act". The arrests have sparked concerns among some of Fifa's sponsors, who say they may review their ties over the corruption allegations. Tomas Cubelli, Juan Imhoff and Santiago Cordero all crossed for the Pumas while Georgia captain Mamuka Gorgodze was in the sin-bin shortly after the break. Tries from Martin Landajo, Cordero and Imhoff took the Pumas over 50 points. Tomas Lavanini had given Argentina an early lead but Merab Kvirikashvili's boot meant it was 14-9 at half-time. The match was finely poised at 14-9 when Gorgodze was sin-binned by referee JP Doyle. The Toulon back row was onside initially as he attempted to turn the ball over at a ruck, but he failed to support his weight and was sent to the bin. During that period, his side conceded 21 points and by the time he returned the game was effectively lost. Even with Gorgodze's helping hand Argentina seem sure to be exacting opponents for Ireland or France - who they are likely to face in the quarter-finals - with a big mobile pack, the best set of backs they have had and an eagerness to play with width. Nicolas Sanchez opened the scoring for Argentina with a first for this Rugby World up - a drop-goal, albeit an ugly one. Sanchez was then part of a terrific handling move that saw Lavanini dive over for his second international try. Impressive full-back Kvirikashvili brought Georgia to within two points with two penalties before he and Sanchez traded further kicks after the half-hour mark as the Georgians closed the half very much in the game. Juan Martin Hernandez limped off injured for Argentina with what appeared to be a groin injury and the fitness of 'El Mago' will be of concern to the Pumas. When Gorgodze was sin-binned for slowing down the ball, after a great break by Sanchez that saw Marcelo Bosch caught just short of the line, the Georgia captain might have thought the punishment was worthwhile. But with his team short on the blind side as a result of his yellow card, scrum-half Cubelli dived over after being fed off the back of a close-range scrum by number eight Facundo Isa. Three minutes later Imhoff scorched down the left touchline for his 12th international try and Cordero quickly added the fourth try for a bonus point. Landajo made sure of the victory with a dart against the tiring Georgians before wingers Cordero and Imhoff claimed their second tries to take the Pumas over the half-century mark. In the 64 minutes Sanchez was on the pitch, he gave further encouragement to the notion Argentina are going to be an awkward side for anyone to play against in this Rugby World Cup. In addition to his penalties, conversions and drop goal, the fly-half - who is leaving Toulon for the new Argentine Super Rugby franchise - ignited his backline with crisp delivery and made 62 metres thanks to two clean breaks. With the finesse and power of Hernandez and Bosch outside him and plenty of firepower on the wings, Argentina now have a backline that will cause any team problems. Argentina: Tuculet; Cordero, Bosch, Hernandez, Imhoff; Sanchez, Cubelli; Ayerza, Creevy, Chaparro, Alemanno, Lavanini, Leguizamon, Fernandez Lobbe, Isa. Replacements: Montoya, Noguera, Herrera, Desio, Matera, Landajo, De La Fuente, Amorosino. Georgia: Kvirikashvili; Mchedlidze, Kacharava, Sharikadze, Aptsiauri; Malaguradze, Lobzhanidze; Nariashvili, Bregvadze, Zirakashvili, Nemsadze, Mikautadze, Tkhilaishvil, Kolelishvili, Gorgodze.

Wales First Minister Carwyn Jones has flown to Patagonia for the occasion. It was 150 years ago on 28 July when about 160 Welsh emigrants arrived in Argentina aboard the Mimosa tea-clipper. Their aim, in 1865, was to create a new settlement, 'Y Wladfa', where their language, culture and non-conformist faith could flourish. Today, some 50,000 Patagonians can claim Welsh ancestry and the language is still spoken in parts. The Welsh are credited with opening up the barren terrain of Chubut Province, making farming possible and helping the region to prosper. Speaking ahead of his visit, Mr Jones said: "The descendants of Welsh settlers in Argentina have a special place in the minds of people in Wales and the reverse is also true. "I hope this lasts long into the future and I look forward to cementing and celebrating the links that still exist, despite there being 7,500 miles between us." The first official event to mark the 150th anniversary takes place in Puerto Madryn, where the Welsh settlers landed, on Monday evening. Dignitaries from every state in Argentina will gather in the city's leisure centre for a gala concert. This will feature a specially commissioned piece of music and performances by local school children. On Tuesday morning, the arrival of the first emigrants will be re-enacted on the shore of Puerto Madryn. Thousands are expected to attend. "Let's Welshify our city!" reads a headline in one of Chubut Province's daily newspapers, looking ahead to the week's festivities. The city it refers to is Puerto Madryn - a bustling, seaside resort with high-rise hotels, restaurants and bars. But 150 years ago, when the Welsh settlers landed, there was virtually nothing here. Standing on the beach, it is hard to imagine how they must have felt. Homesick? Seasick? Surely disappointed. They had been promised a land of plenty and arrived to a dusty, arid expanse. But in braving the long journey from Liverpool they had shown a spirit of adventure. And though some gave up, returned home or moved to other parts of the world instead - many were driven to build the new life they had dreamed of. You get the sense here that the Welsh settlers are very much respected for their hard work in developing this part of Patagonia - building canals to irrigate the land, setting up a cooperative to trade goods and bring prosperity. They are a small but significant part of the formation of modern Argentina. "We may have been living in Chile now if it wasn't for the Welsh," one man tells me. It is ironic really when you think that the founding fathers of 'Y Wladfa Gymreig' (the Welsh settlement in Patagonia) wanted above all else to create their own country anew, not bolster someone else's. However, the way the Welsh traditions, culture and language have survived here makes Patagonia unique. Though Welsh people emigrated in far greater numbers to North America and Australia - there is nowhere else in the world today where you can feel so far away and yet so at home. The Welsh connection is now big business too - quaint Welsh tearooms and the annual eisteddfod attract hoards of Argentinean tourists. But there is plenty of real, Welsh life under the surface. "I'd like to visit Wales before I die," another man says in the pure and fluent Welsh he has spoken since a child. A moment that sends a shiver down your spine. On a building site in the town of Trevelin we witness the beginnings of a new bilingual Welsh/Spanish school. It will become the third in Patagonia - the Welsh language is experiencing somewhat of a revival here. Something those early pioneers would have been proud to see 150 years after setting foot in South America. It is a remarkable story and Welsh Patagonia is a remarkable place. World number 274 Rumford, who has been top in each round, shot a four-under 68 to finish five clear at 17 under. Former Open champion Louis Oosthuizen shared second after a 67. The leading 24 players progressed to the final day on Sunday and the top eight earned a bye into the last-16 round of the matchplay format. Australia's Jake Higginbottom took the final seeded spot on count back as his 66 was the best round from the six players who finished on 11 under. A total of 19 players, who were nine under or better, secured their places for the matchplay finale, leaving the eight golfers a shot further back to play off in two groups at the 18th hole for the five remaining available spots. Four went through with pars at the first time of asking. Wiltshire's Jordan Smith, the 24-year-old in his maiden season on the European Tour, missed out at the first extra hole and 17-year-old Phachara Khongwatmai of Thailand claimed the 24th and final place with a par when the 18th was played for a third time. Sunday's matches will be six-hole contests played over the 10th, second, eighth, 11th, 12th and 18th, a mixture of three par-fours, plus two par-threes and a par-five. Should a match not produce a winner after six holes, a specially constructed 93-yard 'knockout hole' to the 18th green will be used for a sudden death play-off. Oosthuizen, the world number 25, has dropped just one shot in 54 holes and said: "The goal was to make the top eight so I'm happy. "In the matchplay I'll need to be a little bit more aggressive, play more towards the pin and see if I can get them really close and try and hit the putts a little firmer to get them there."

The win took the Teessiders to the top of the Championship table. "When Adam scored, once again we were together and the crowd was amazing," Karanka told BBC Tees. "It was a difficult game, I can understand the frustration [of supporters] when they want us to win the games but they trust these players and together is best way to go about it." Karanka's side have won their past five games following the Spaniard's absence from the defeat at Charlton on 13 March, when he was contemplating his future. With that episode resolved, Boro have rediscovered their form to lead the table from Burnley by two points. "It was our third game at home in a row, and it's always difficult after the QPR game - people already had nine points in their pockets," he said. "I feel how difficult is to win every game so now we're in a really good position, I'm pleased for them and I couldn't be prouder than I am at this moment."

Declan Murray, 44, from Main Street in Strabane, crashed into an oncoming car driven by a 60-year-old child minder who had two children in her vehicle. Twelve days beforehand a consultant neurologist told him never to get behind the wheel of a vehicle again. He diagnosed Murray as an epileptic who had numerous seizures. The consultant also told Murray to inform the DVLA of his medical condition, which he did not do. Murray pleaded guilty to a charge of causing grievous bodily injury by dangerous driving. He committed the offence on the Victoria Road between the villages of Newbuildings and Magheramason on 29 May, 2012, after he had what he believed was an epileptic seizure. A Public Prosecution Service barrister told the judge at Londonderry Crown Court that Murray was driving his van towards Strabane when the vehicle suddenly veered across the white line. It crashed head on into an oncoming car which was being driven by the child minder who had children aged five and eight in the back seat. The two children sustained minor injuries, but the child minder suffered multiple fractures to her legs and ribs and the prosecutor said such was the severity of her injuries that she was unconscious, unresponsive and paramedics believed her life was at risk. The victim was taken to Altnagelvin Hospital where she spent the following six weeks in intensive care. She was discharged from hospital six months after the crash. The prosecution barrister said the injuries the child minder suffered were life-changing and she now needed a crutch to walk. "The injured party is present in court today to see justice done, but she says she is not here for vengeance and she is not arguing for any particular sentence", the barrister said. A defence barrister said Murray, who suffered a broken sternum in the crash, was "absolutely saddled with remorse". "He accepts he is going to jail. He accepts he caused catastrophic injuries and suffering to an entirely innocent and blameless woman," the barrister said. The judge said he would sentence Murray next week and remanded him in custody. "He is going to jail," the judge said.

A epileptic man who ignored medical advice never to drive again, was told on Wednesday he would be jailed for critically injuring a woman in a crash.

The 20-year-old former Northampton Town player moved from his home town club to Tyneside last summer, but has so far made just four substitute appearances. Toney, who was close to joining Shrewsbury's neighbours Wolves in December 2014, spent time last season on loan in League One at Barnsley. He is likely to make his debut in the League Cup at home to Huddersfield. "I'm looking to get some goals under my belt, become a better player and help Shrewsbury get higher up the league," Toney told BBC Radio Shropshire. Shrewsbury, who only just avoided League One relegation last season, began the new campaign with a 1-0 home defeat by MK Dons on Saturday.

Shrewsbury Town have signed young Newcastle United striker Ivan Toney on a half-season loan.

Seven months after becoming Florentino Perez's 10th managerial appointment as Real president, Benitez has made way for the 11th. Unlike the Spaniard, successor Zinedine Zidane is a Real Madrid legend, adored by the club's supporters. He also gets on with the players. They are just two of the reasons Benitez's time in charge was doomed. BBC Sport looks at the factors behind his departure, and how Real have reached such a desperate situation so soon after his appointment. There was strong opposition to the sacking of Benitez's popular predecessor Carlo Ancelotti, whose 2014 Champions League triumph and easy-going manner made him a highly respected figure both inside and outside the Bernabeu. Even Perez seemed unsure about his decision, addressing a news conference by starting to answer a question about why he had sacked Ancelotti with a shrug of the shoulders and a muttered "I don't know…" And there was plenty of scepticism about the suitability of Benitez, a man who had enjoyed precious little success in the past decade and who had developed a reputation - whether deserved or not - for negative, defensive football. Shortly before Ancelotti's sacking, an opinion poll in daily sports newspaper AS saw Benitez receive only 8% of the votes as the best option to manage the team, while an article in Marca listed 18 reasons why he would be a bad choice. Pointedly, that article included the observation people "would struggle to give him the benefit of the doubt". That certainly proved to be the case as everyone - fans, players and the media - appeared only too willing to leap upon any opportunity to criticise Benitez. That impression is underlined by the timing of his sacking, a day after his team secured an away draw against a high-quality Valencia team - who have not lost at home in the league for more than a year - despite having a player sent off and a strong penalty appeal turned down Hardly grounds for dismissal, but with Benitez it appears not to matter because - as he once complained - he seemed to get nothing but criticism whatever he did. Having arrived at the Bernabeu surrounded by such scepticism, the only way Benitez could have ensured his long-term position was by leading the team to a hugely successful run of form with goals galore and victories flowing on a weekly basis. That never happened. Even though Real were unbeaten for their first 14 games under Benitez, two of those were goalless draws against lowly Sporting Gijon and Malaga, which attracted initial grumbles. The first major criticism arrived following a 1-1 draw with local rivals Atletico Madrid in October. Real took an early lead through Karim Benzema but then went on the back foot - including the substitution of a clearly disgruntled Benzema - and conceded a late equaliser, prompting inevitable complaints about the manager's perceived negativity. But that was nothing compared to the avalanche of abuse endured by Benitez after Barcelona's sensational 4-0 Clasico victory in November, which concluded with loud chants for the former Liverpool manager's dismissal ringing around the Bernabeu after his team were utterly outclassed by their eternal rivals. Benitez survived that trauma, but he never really recovered and from that moment his departure was just a matter of time, with every home game since the defeat by Barca preceded by loud jeers when Benitez's name was announced with the team line-ups. Though it certainly wasn't entirely his fault, the club's expulsion from the Spanish Cup after fielding an ineligible player did Benitez no good whatsoever, and a limp 1-0 defeat at Villarreal in mid-December ensured the negative atmosphere was maintained heading into Christmas. So the news of his departure comes as no surprise, with Benitez's reign finally buckling under the weight of weeks of relentless pressure. Zidane's appointment is also no surprise, because he has long been earmarked as a future Real Madrid manager, with his status as Benitez's expected replacement splashed across the front page of Marca on 27 December under the headline 'The Chosen One'. That headline was a deliberate reference to Jose Mourinho, the ex-Madrid boss who has retained a good relationship with Perez and had been touted as Benitez's potential replacement - an idea swiftly abandoned after it provoked a predictably negative reaction. Zidane is a legend at Real, winning six titles and providing one of the club's iconic moments with a stunning volley in the 2002 Champions League final victory over Bayer Leverkusen at Hampden Park. He has always been a big favourite of Perez, who was responsible for bringing him back to the club initially in a behind-the-scenes role but then as Ancelotti's assistant. The Frenchman's coaching career was given another shove by Perez in the summer of 2014 when he was named boss of the club's B team, with the president even prepared to accept the administrative wrangling that followed his appointment of a man lacking the necessary coaching badges. In appointing Zidane, Perez is hoping to follow the examples set by Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique at Barcelona - a highly regarded former player who cut his coaching teeth with the club's B team, understands the club's 'DNA' and commands absolute and instant respect. Whether Zidane will be able to work in the same kind of environment that allowed Guardiola and Enrique to flourish and win medals galore is another matter. Benitez is by no means the only high-profile figure at the Bernabeu being criticised, because Perez has also been on the receiving end of the fans' unhappiness. Chants against the president just as loud as those against Benitez accompanied the final whistle of November's embarrassing loss to Barcelona, and the slogan "Florentino dimision!" ("Florentino resign") has become a familiar refrain at the Bernabeu and on social media. Perez has been held responsible for two things: building an unbalanced squad over-packed with glamorous attacking players (Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Isco) who play in similar positions, and overseeing general administrative incompetence such as the Copa del Rey expulsion, the bungled attempt to sign David de Gea and the constant turnover of managers. Amid such unhappiness, something had to give and Perez - consummate politician to the end - was predictably in no hurry to offer his head when the option of sacrificing a widely unpopular manager was also available. That alone won't be enough to stem the tide of criticism against the president, and the possibility of Perez potentially being forced into calling early elections remains alive. There has been plenty of unhappiness with Real's players, as well. Even Ronaldo, the club's all-time leading goalscorer, has not been immune from barracking and was spotted on camera mouthing obscenities towards dissenting fans during the bizarre 10-2 victory over Rayo Vallecano. Throughout his short reign, Benitez was regularly beset by reports he had failed to develop good relationships with his key players, many of whom were outspoken in their support for Ancelotti before and after his sacking. Specifically, there have been claims Benitez did not get along with Ronaldo, Benzema, long-serving captain Sergio Ramos, and attacking midfielders James and Isco, both of whom have been regularly left out of the starting line-up over the course of the season. A neat illustration of the perceived lack of respect for Benitez within the dressing room came at the start of December's defeat at Villarreal. As he took his seat in the dugout, substitute Isco noticed he was being filmed by TV cameras and ostentatiously grinned, stared at fellow sub Toni Kroos, rubbed his eyes, shook his head and stared again in the direction of Kroos, apparently intending to convey the question: "Can you believe he's on the bench?" Such public displays of petty dissent undermined Benitez's claim he was supported by his players, and with a manager similarly ridiculed by fans and the media they could get away with it. But with Zidane in charge, there will be more expectation on those superstars, very few of whom have performed consistently well this season, to start living up to their reputations. One player never linked to the internal criticism of Benitez, and whose reputation among Madrid fans has been enhanced this season, is Wales star Gareth Bale. The former Tottenham man was affected by injuries earlier in the campaign, but he has been in excellent form since returning to fitness and has scored nine goals in 13 league games so far this season. Indeed, his performance in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Valencia was one of his best in a Real Madrid shirt, as he conjured a brilliant backheel to help set up Benzema's opener and then scored a superb header for the second goal - his seventh in the past five games. So Bale, despite the team's travails, is in a good place - and the appointment of Zidane could be further positive news, because the Frenchman has been one of his staunchest admirers. During Madrid's wooing of Bale before his big-money move from Tottenham in the summer of 2013, Zidane - then director of football - identified the Welshman as the player in Europe who had impressed him the most that season. After his move was completed, Zidane hailed Bale as one of the three best players in the world (inferring that only Lionel Messi and Ronaldo are better). When you also consider Bale's somewhat protected-species status as Perez's personal signing, it is clear he will be continue to be an undeniable first choice under Zidane.

Rafael Benitez was probably a dead man walking from the moment he was controversially appointed Real Madrid manager in the summer.

A report by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) said items worth £1m were seized in Cheetham Hill, in 2013. Fake clothing, footwear, hair straighteners and cigarettes have all been seized in the area. Intellectual Property Minister Baroness Neville-Rolfe said she had raised concerns about the "counterfeiting hotbed" that continues to thrive there. She said there would now be a concerted effort to disrupt the activity of crime groups. The report said the concentration of counterfeiters in the area has "negative consequences for the local community and economy, as well as the harm of associated criminality such as money laundering, organised crime group involvement, drug dealing and violence". Baroness Neville-Rolfe said: "This trade, where income tax and consumer safety is simply ignored, undercuts and undermines legitimate businesses and allows other criminality to be funded and flourish." She said the report "signals the start of a concerted effort to disrupt and dismantle organised crime groups operating in nationally significant trade". "Despite these efforts, the problem is so engrained in the fabric of everyday life in the area that the problem persists, with the businesses often operational again within days of action being taken," she added. The thriving clothing trade in the area is a "front for criminal sales of counterfeits," according to the report. It said: "Amongst law enforcement, [copy]rights-holders and in the media, Cheetham Hill is anecdotally referred to as 'Counterfeit Street'. "It is indicative of the entrenched criminal culture of the area that the trade in counterfeit goods has continued despite regular enforcement action and high-volume seizures." But Councillor Nigel Murphy, Manchester City Council's executive member for neighbourhoods, said: "Our trading standards officers have been working closely with Greater Manchester Police and other agencies to crack down on counterfeiting in Cheetham Hill for a number of years, and we have seized huge amounts of counterfeit items. "However, the scale of these criminal operations, and the fact that counterfeiters are also involved in a range of other criminal activities, means that a more co-ordinated approach is needed to deal with the issue." The report stated "no single agency" can tackle the problem. Mr Murphy added:"I welcome that the government has recognised this issue and look forward to our officers working as part of a wider partnership to tackle the counterfeit trade." Nationally, there were 75,000 counterfeit goods seized in 2014/15 with an estimated retail value of £2.5m.

Part of Manchester has been nicknamed "Counterfeit Street" because of the widespread sale of fake goods there.

The poll of more than 900,000 patients found that, in the last two years, the proportion saying it was not easy to get through on the phone rose from 18% to 24%. When they did get through 11% were unable to get an appointment, the Ipsos MORI poll for NHS England showed. But overall 75% rated the experience of making an appointment as good. When they did get to see a doctor, or for some a practice nurse, 86% said their overall experience was good. It comes after the British Medical Association (BMA) warned last week that patients would face longer waits to see a GP because of a shortage of doctors and squeeze on funding. Speaking at the BMA's annual conference, BMA GP leader, Dr Chaand Nagpaul, said waits of one or two weeks would "become the norm". This survey does not measure that, but it does show that access is becoming a problem for a growing minority. As well as 11% not being able to make an appointment, 8% of those getting an appointment felt it was at an inconvenient time. When asked about out-of-hours care, which most GPs opt out of providing themselves, two-thirds rated it as good with 17% saying it was poor - up from 13% two years ago. By Hugh Pym, BBC Health editor There are almost daily reminders of the pressures on general practice. A Health Select Committee report, covering England, says more than half of a GP's consulting time is taken up with patients with long-term conditions such as diabetes and arthritis. Some doctors complain of a struggle to keep up with the workload generated by a growing population and rising demand for services. Now more than 900,000 patients have had their say through the NHS England GP Patient survey. The overall degree of satisfaction remains high at around 85%. But all the main indicators show a decline in approval ratings, sometimes 5% over two years. Access by phone to surgeries and experiences of out-of-hours services are areas where there is a significant minority of unhappy patients. Ministers point out they have made more money available for general practice through the Prime Minister's Challenge Fund. But there are increasing question marks over the ability of the primary care system to cope with the demands placed on it. GPs argue the problem is caused by rising demands not being matched with by a corresponding rise in resources. The number of annual consultations carried out by general practice has risen by 40 million since 2008, hitting 340 million at the last count. Meanwhile, figures from the Royal College of GPs (RCGP) show the amount spent on practices has fallen by £400m in real terms over the last three years. In 2012-13, £8.5bn was invested in general practice, when everything from spending on pay, IT, tests and drugs was taken into account, the RCGP research found. That compared with £8.3bn in 2009-10, which is the equivalent of £8.9bn in 2012-13 prices. The Department of Health has already recognised access to GPs is an issue. It has launched a £50m Challenge Fund to extend opening hours and make greater use of technologies such as Skype and email. More than 1,100 practices - one in eight of those in England - have signed up. Dr David Geddes, from NHS England, said: "Overall, these results show that the majority of patients are positive about their GP services, which is testament to the hard work of GPs and their staff. "But we need to recognise the continuing trend in what patients are telling us about access to services." However, Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham warned: "It is getting harder and harder to get a GP appointment under David Cameron. "The next Labour Government will invest £100m to help patients to get appointments within 48 hours or on the same day for those who need it." Dr Richard Vautrey, of the British Medical Association, said the overall satisfaction results were "remarkable" considering the workload pressures GPs were under. He added: "It is a concern that the results show signs of slipping backwards. The government must heed these early warning signs, together with the recent falling GP recruitment figures, and urgently invest in general practice." Connor Tremble, 17, who was autistic, was stabbed 15 times in Oxford by a love rival on 13 February 2014. The ceremony was held at Shanklin United Reformed Church on the Isle of Wight, where Connor's mother Lisa Tremble now lives. Reverend Brian Harley said the family "wanted to come together, remember and give thanks for the good things". He said: "I think it's always difficult when we're dealing with a tragic death. "Obviously in Connor's case when there is a murder as well it just adds to the sense of grief and anger." He added: "It's nice that the family a year on want to pause and remember and give thanks as well as try to make sense of the tragic loss they are suffering." Mrs Tremble and Connor's two sisters took part in the service, during which poems were read out, music performed and a video tribute played by one of Connor's friends. Will Blencowe, 21, was jailed for life in August after a jury found him guilty of murdering Connor. Blencowe, of Oxford Road, Banbury, was the ex-boyfriend of Mr Tremble's girlfriend, Aimee Harrison. On 13 February, he took a taxi to Mr Tremble's home in Faircares Road, Oxford, before repeatedly stabbing him after learning he was seeing Ms Harrison. Mr Tremble died two days later in hospital. Playing in only his 13th first-class match, Curran's mid-afternoon burst of three for two in 18 balls left the home side rocking. Replying to Surrey's 252, the Bears made 247 after a 95-run stand from Keith Barker (62) and Ian Bell (43). Having led by five runs after the first innings, Surrey then closed on 33-1. Warwickshire had begun the afternoon decently placed at 91-3, but Curran had Laurie Evans and Tim Ambrose superbly caught by Rory Burns in the gully before trapping Surrey old boy Rikki Clarke lbw with a swinging yorker. Former Bears skipper Ian Westwood, on his recall as opener after being dropped following early season struggles, went just four runs short of a first Championship half-century. After adding 40 in 15 overs with Jonathan Trott, both fell in the space of nine balls from Stuart Meaker. Warwickshire all-rounder Keith Barker told BBC WM: "The game is in the balance. We have managed to get ourselves back in the game. It would have been better if we had been able to go past them but it is going to be a big day for us tomorrow. "There are runs to be scored there. You have just got to stay out there long enough for the bad balls to come. It may take a while but you have got to latch on to them if you get the chance. "There is still a bit of movement in the pitch and we have just got to squeeze them tomorrow and put them under pressure. The pitch might deteriorate a little bit so that will give Jeets something to work with. "It is effectively a one-innings game so if we can get some wickets tomorrow it will change the game massively." Surrey bowling coach Stuart Barnes told BBC London 94.9: "We took 10 wickets in 78 overs, which was the goal at the start of the day. We were not 100 per cent happy with the first session, but we put it right. "Sam Curran fully deserved his five wickets on the back of a really good first spell, which he followed up with a great second spell after lunch. "We talked about using the wicket and surface, which has been offering a bit of nip and we were able to swing the ball all day, which helped." Brig Gen Chris Olukolade told the BBC the aim was to assert Nigeria's "territorial integrity as a nation". Earlier, a 24-hour curfew was imposed in parts of the city of Maiduguri, where the military said it had arrested 65 "terrorists". Maiduguri has been an important base for Boko Haram Islamist militants. Earlier this week, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in three north-eastern states - Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe - after a series of deadly attacks by militant groups. Boko Haram: From preachers to slave raiders Nigerian military spokesman Brig Gen Olukolade said the army would continue its operation "as long as it takes to achieve our objective of getting rid of insurgents from every part of Nigeria". He told the BBC World Service Newshour programme that the offensive "knows the targets it is after, and it took a long time to plan and prepare for this". "It is their (insurgent) bases, their weaponry, their logistics that we are going to deal with in this operation," he added. Earlier, an army statement named 12 areas of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, which would now be under permanent curfew. Correspondents say the neighbourhoods listed are considered strongholds of Boko Haram. The whole of Maiduguri was already subject to an overnight curfew. Witnesses said troops were stopping lorries from entering the city. The army also said the 65 insurgents had been arrested trying to infiltrate Maiduguri. Those held had been "fleeing from various camps now under attack". However, there has been no independent confirmation of the arrests. The army said 10 suspected insurgents were killed in clashes with troops in Maiduguri on Friday and weapons were seized including rocket-propelled grenade launchers. Nigerian war planes and helicopter gunships also attacked several militant training camps in the north-east on Friday, officials said. One plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire but officials said it had returned to base safely while the "terrorist base" was "completely destroyed". US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged the Nigerian army to show restraint and not violate human rights as it pursues the militants. Mr Kerry said there were "credible allegations" of "gross human rights violations" by the Nigerian military. Last November, Amnesty International accused Nigeria's security forces of carrying out widespread abuses in their campaign against Boko Haram, including extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances and torture. The BBC has also received reports of civilians fleeing remote areas in Borno State and arriving in towns on the border with Cameroon. Cameroon shares hundreds of miles of border with Nigeria and the area adjacent to Borno is considered porous. Although Cameroon's security forces have stepped up security in the region, a source told French radio that the government in Yaounde had been given no advance warning of the Nigerian campaign. More than 2,000 people have died in violence in Nigeria since 2010, most of which is blamed on Boko Haram. The group, whose name means "Western education is forbidden", says its quest is to overthrow the Nigerian government and create an Islamic state. There has been growing concern that Boko Haram is receiving backing from al-Qaeda-linked militants in other countries. About 12 people were warned to leave the Weir Caravan Park in Stamford Bridge by the site's owners who began knocking on caravans at 09:00 BST. The Environment Agency (EA) issued a flood warning for the river at the park, in the early hours. Two pumps are in use at the scene and the EA said river levels were dropping. The riverside caravan site has about 100 static pitches and space for touring caravans. The nearby Swordsman Inn was also flooded with a "couple of inches" of water, according to the manager, but this has been pumped out and the public house is being cleared up. The Environment Agency (EA) said there had been a significant amount of rain in 24 hours, with up to 40mm falling in places and heavy rain showers are expected to continue on Sunday and next week. Shakrul Islam, 31, had already used the car as a weapon to scare petrol station staff, a jury was told. Kyle Clarke, 27, died when he was dragged for half a mile under the car in Bristol in January. Islam, of South Gloucestershire, who had denied the charge, was convicted of manslaughter, at the city's crown court and sentenced to seven years. Sentencing the unlicensed driver of Chipping Sodbury, Judge Peter Blair QC said Mr Clarke's death had had "an earth-shattering effect" on his family. "They were planning on emigrating to Australia and had that day made a final payment for visas," he said. Islam had previously admitted causing death by dangerous driving. Mr Clarke's death followed an altercation with garage employee Abu Sayem, who thought they were going to try and drive off without paying for petrol, the court heard. Mr Clarke was pulled from the car by Mr Sayem, but Islam drove the car at them, knocking Mr Clarke over and trapping him under the car as he drove off. The vehicle finally came to a halt at traffic lights when members of the public lifted the car up and tried to save Mr Clarke's life. A post-mortem examination found Mr Clarke had suffered 48 rib fractures, fractures to his breast bone and collarbone and collapsed lungs. Speaking after the sentencing, Det Supt Sarah Davenport said Islam drove away from the garage "travelling a considerable distance with Kyle trapped under the car". "When he finally stopped, Kyle had already suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene," she said. "Our thoughts remain with Kyle's family and friends." His mother Helen Stockford, said he had been the "soul of the family" and his death was "devastating" for his brothers and sisters. "He was a good kid - heart of gold. Even in his hardest moments he still managed to find a smile and have a laugh and a joke," she said. Referring to the move to Australia, Mrs Stockford said her son was "so looking forward to going". "It just seems so sad because on the verge of us emigrating, it has now come to this," she said. "We are extremely upset that Kyle isn't with us today. My heart also stands with Mr Islam who has been convicted, because I think he didn't deliberately set out to kill my son." Mrs Stockford said she and her family did not agree with the conviction and would help Islam with an appeal against if he planned to. Media playback is not supported on this device However, after a chance meeting with the snowboarding Olympic Bronze medal holder, Jenny Jones persuaded me that I should give skiing a try at least once. I never thought I would be taking my first lesson a year later. Before I got on the snow I had to have an assessment to see what adaptive skis I would be using, testing my strength and balance. After that I just had put on the gear. That turned out to be an ordeal as it took about 10 minutes to get one shoe on! For some reason, I thought I was going to be going down a big slope on my own in my first lesson and of course that was not the case. The next question that came into my head was how am I going to get onto the snow on one ski when I can't use my wheelchair? I got my answer soon enough - I had to do it myself. In the first instance, Steve the instructor said he would have to push me up the kids slope until I was strong enough to do it myself. He then explained that it could take a year of practice to get that strong! I faceplanted the snow several times but once I eventually managed to balance and move down the slope, it was the best feeling ever. I realised I could really do this and I started to understand why people love this sport! Then we went on the big slope (apparently one of the biggest indoor slopes in the country!) Steve was on the back and I had to steer. I was terrified and I didn't stop screaming all the way down! I mustn't have been that scared though because it didn't stop me going up for a second try. For the first time, I saw snow differently and not just an inconvenience that gives you a snowday off work. What I loved about it was how much speed you build up going down the slope and the sense of freedom! This is definitely in the top five sports I want to continue with after the challenges are over. Look out for me in Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Paralympic games! I was pretty chuffed when we pulled out Skiing for our second sport in this series of challenges. I once worked in Austria at a ski resort and despite making beds, cleaning toilets and serving dinner at a local chalet I spent a lot of my spare time on the slopes. Since returning to England though, going to university and finding a job, I just haven't had the time (or money) to get back into it, so I was really looking forward to hitting the slopes once more. I felt pretty nervous on the day of our ski outing. The thing with skiing is that it's a really 'cool,' fashionable sport and the last thing I wanted was to look like a loser out on the slopes. Anyway, I pulled myself together and slipped on the ski boots in a familiar, awkward fashion. Steve, the instructor, eased me into it on the nursery slope and it seemed like I'd forgotten everything. I felt like bambi on ice and I certainly couldn't remember how to turn. However, I soon found myself at the foot of the adult slope and strangely excited to take it on! I don't know what happened up there, but in a split second, everything seemed to click into place; I felt like the king of the slope. Everything I had learnt a few years ago in Austria all came flooding back and I found my inner confidence. It was really great actually, you get such a buzz from flying down a mountain on a pair of skis and the beauty of it is, that you're in control (sort of). If you want to take a leisurely pace, you can do and equally if you want to be a daredevil, there's room for that too. I really would love to get back into it. There's nothing more fulfilling than skiing your way down a mountain in some of the most picturesque surroundings in the world. Having said that, it is quite a costly sport and it's not something I'd be able to afford to do on a regular basis. It's also good to know that it really is like riding a bike and the next time the opportunity comes up, I can slip back into those skis like it was yesterday. If you are interested in getting into skiing, take a look at the Get Inspired skiing activity guide for details. Neighbours told her trial they found Stephen Rayner, 25, collapsed in a pool of blood outside the flat the couple shared in Acton, west London, in September last year. They described hearing "hysterical screams" moments earlier. Jewellery designer Elizabeth "Lizzie" Hart-Browne, 27, denies murder. David Winkworth told the Old Bailey he went outside to investigate after hearing the screams. He told the jury he saw Mr Rayner's legs sticking out on the ground, then noticed Ms Hart-Browne sitting alone on her doorstep repeating "what have I done, what have I done". Another neighbour, Katie Harrington, described trying to save Mr Rayner's life before paramedics arrived. She said: "I heard some noise coming from the car park area. I couldn't hear exactly what was said, what was happening. "A couple of moments later, I heard a female voice that was very distressed saying 'he's been stabbed, he's dead'. "I put my shoes on and went outside. There was a man on the floor with a large pool of blood and there was a young lady who was leaning over looking and holding his neck. "I ran inside and got some towels then I went back out there and tried to feel for a pulse." Ms Harrington said she asked the "hysterical" woman to move away so she could roll him on his side as the ambulance operator gave instructions over the phone. The court has heard that Ms Hart-Browne says she killed her boyfriend in self-defence during a violent attack by him. The trial continues. John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), warns that "tawdry political tactics" could deflect from important issues facing the UK economy. Such a focus, he wrote in a letter to Westminster leaders, had "been sorely lacking in political discourse". The BCC represents thousands of firms. "For many businesses, both small and large, one of the greatest sources of challenge and uncertainty in 2015 isn't the state of global markets, but home-grown politics," Mr Longworth cautioned. He further decried politicians who "race between television studios and events to undercut their rivals' policy pronouncements, to proclaim themselves most 'in touch' with the needs of the people". "You must focus on the causes, not the symptoms, of the challenges that face our United Kingdom," he said. The UK's public spending, and wider economic matters affecting the country, will be among the most hotly contested issues in the run-up to the next general-election, scheduled for May 2015. In his letter - addressed to PM David Cameron, deputy PM and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, and Labour leader Ed Miliband, as well as other party leaders - Mr Longworth outlined some of the policies on the BCC's wish list. He said the organisation wanted those in power to support UK companies that are "brave enough to sell products and services across the world," as well as help with training opportunities and new jobs for both the young and old. The BCC also called for greater devolution across the UK, with more decisions made locally, and an end to what it termed "crushing input taxes". "Maintaining corporation tax at 20% would be a sound beginning," Mr Longworth added. But the campaign is still patchy. While the Pakistan Taliban have been forced on to the back foot, other Pakistan-based militant outfits have been left undisturbed. Publicly, Pakistani officials insist that they no longer make a distinction between the "good" Taliban (proxy forces of the Pakistan state) and the "bad" Taliban (which mount sectarian or anti-state attacks). But privately they argue the army has to prioritise which groups to confront first. The immediate, urgent task, they say, is to fight the militants who have caused tens of thousands of deaths within Pakistan itself. It means militant groups such as the Haqqani network, which focuses most of its efforts on Afghanistan, can fight on unimpeded. The group, which is based in Pakistan's tribal areas, is believed to have mounted a series of attacks on Kabul this summer. It has been a devastating campaign. In the first six months of 2015, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan documented the highest level of civilian casualties in the country since it began keeping authoritative records in 2008. Similarly, the Afghan Taliban have stepped up their military activity - most recently in the city of Kunduz in the north of Afghanistan. Kabul for years has complained that many Afghan Taliban leaders live in and around the Pakistani city of Quetta. When asked about the issue, Pakistani military officials say that, with as many as three million Afghans in Pakistan, it is difficult to be sure who is living where. The lack of an outright denial is deliberate. The perception that Pakistan controls the Afghan Taliban gives Pakistani officials diplomatic leverage. If the West wants peace in Afghanistan, they are implicitly suggesting, it will have to secure Pakistani co-operation to deliver it. In fact, history suggests that the Afghan Taliban, while happy to accept Pakistani support, are quite capable of ignoring Islamabad's instructions and formulating their own policies. Who are the Taliban? When the new Afghan President, Ashraf Ghani, won power in 2014, he said improving the relationship with Pakistan was a top priority: if Islamabad would cut its links with the Afghan Taliban, then Kabul would try to prevent anti-Pakistan forces finding sanctuary in Afghanistan. The two countries, he suggested, could only find stability by working together. But for all the hope that President Ghani engendered, Islamabad and Kabul have reverted to hurling accusations at each other. And the distrust seems set to continue. Senior Pakistani military officers say one of the reasons they have a continued interest in Afghanistan is because India is extending its influence there. Islamabad fears that, among other things, Delhi is using its presence in Afghanistan to build a closer relationship with Baloch separatists, who for a decade have been fighting to split away from Pakistan. The issue is especially sensitive because of Pakistan's plans to construct the China Pakistan economic corridor. The planned trade route will run through Balochistan, close to the Afghan border, down to the new deep-sea port of Gwadar. Pakistan is hoping the corridor could generate billions of dollars of revenue. It is a highly complex geostrategic situation. Put at its most succinct, Pakistani strategists are supporting Islamist militants to counter Indian intelligence officers working with Baloch nationalists to thwart Chinese traders. It all shows the extent to which the Great Game, in which outside powers struggle for control of Afghanistan, is alive and well. As has so often been the case in the past, the stability of Afghanistan depends on it being left alone. But the regional powers all see the country as a place that can cause them problems. The result is that many of Afghanistan's neighbours sponsor local, tribal and religious militias so as to prevent anyone else's proxy getting control. It is a process Afghan civilians recognise all too well because, more often than not, they are the ones caught in the crossfire. It also found that adults are still eating too much saturated fat and not enough fruit, vegetables and fibre. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health called the results "extremely worrying". Public Health England said it would be challenging the food industry to cut sugar by 20% in its products. It maintained this would help to reduce child obesity levels. The National Diet and Nutrition Survey, funded by Public Health England and the UK Food Standards Agency, has been run for the past six years collecting data on diet across the UK. These latest results were from a survey of 1,288 adults and 1,258 children who completed a three or four-day food diary between 2012 and 2014. Although sugar intake in children is still too high, there was a slight drop in the volume of sugary drinks consumed among four to 10-year-olds - from 130ml per day in 2008-10 to 100ml in 2012-14. But sugar still makes up 13% of children's daily calorie intake and 15% of teenagers' daily diet - much more than the 5% recommended limit. Adults consume a high level of sugar too, making up 12% of their diets on average. These figures have remained more or less the same since 2008. When it comes to fruit and vegetables, only 8% of 11 to 18-year-olds meet the five-a-day portions recommendation. On average, teenagers manage just 2.8 portions per day while adults eat about four portions. The survey found that people in the UK continue to consume too much saturated fat. Children aged four to 10 have diets in which 13% of their daily calorie intake comes from saturated fat, compared with a target of under 11%. The figure is 12.6% for those aged 11 to 18, while adults get 12.7% of their energy from saturated fat. Average intake of red and processed meat should not exceed 70g per day, but men still eat too much while women are reducing the amount they consume. Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, said the survey showed that everyone needed to eat more fruit, vegetables, fibre and oily fish while cutting back on sugar, salt and saturated fat. She said: "While it is encouraging that young children are having fewer sugary drinks, they still have far too much sugar in their diet overall, along with teenagers and adults. "To help tackle this, PHE is launching a programme to challenge the food industry to remove at least 20% of the sugar in its products by 2020. It's an ambitious programme, a world first, and will be a significant step on the road to reducing child obesity levels." One in three children currently leaving primary school is overweight or obese and there are concerns that in the future more adults will increase their risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. Prof Neena Modi, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "The results of this survey are extremely worrying. "This is why we are surprised the long-awaited UK government childhood obesity strategy did not include a number of recommendations aimed at protecting children, such as a ban on advertising junk food and limiting their sale around schools." She called for the measures to be reconsidered. The head of the group, John Cridland, said firms must be given confidence that ministers really mean to tackle climate change. The government cut subsidies in the summer because the £7.6bn budget had been exceeded. Ministers say they are committed to protecting the climate. They said they would announce replacement renewables policies soon. Critics say new policies can’t come quickly enough. Mr Cridland said: "The green economy is an emerging market in its own right, brimming with opportunity. "Yet, with the roll-back of renewables policies and the mixed messages on energy efficiency, the government risks sending a worrying signal to businesses. "We need all countries to pull in the same direction at the Paris Climate Summit (in November) to give firms the certainty and confidence they need to invest in the green economy for the long run". The former Treasury chief economist Lord Stern warned: “The test is coming. In the coming few months, will policies be put in place that take account of the great cost of emissions and air pollution? "If there are not policies, that would be deeply worrying... we are subsidising hydrocarbons big time.” Critics are also complaining that recent tax changes will actually deter people from taking decisions that help the climate. The chancellor, for instance, shifted Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) so a Porsche pays as much as a Prius – a decision the AA said would lead to drivers using more polluting cars. He also placed a £3.9bn carbon tax – the Climate Change Levy – on wind and solar power and biogas, which emit no net carbon. Lord Stern told BBC News it was “potty” to put a carbon tax on renewables. His Stern Review in 2006 found that cutting CO2 emissions immediately was far cheaper than paying later to solve problems in a heating world. The author has since concluded that he underestimated the costs of burning hydrocarbons because he did not include the health costs caused by air pollution from vehicles and industry. He said the case for low-carbon development taking climate and air pollution into account was “inarguable”. A Treasury spokeswoman said: "Our support has already driven down the cost of renewable energy significantly. As costs continue to fall it becomes easier for parts of the renewables industry to survive without subsidies." She said any loss UK renewable generators faced would be small compared with other financial support they received from government. Defending the decision to impose a carbon tax on green energy, she added that it was right to incentivise the efficient use of renewable power as it would supply 30% of UK electricity in 2020. Prof Richard Tol, from Sussex University, told BBC News that Lord Stern’s idea of calculating the costs of air pollution alongside the costs of climate damages was appealing – but the sum was simply too complicated, with too many imponderable judgements and values involved. He said: “A switch from petrol to diesel, for instance, is good for carbon dioxide emissions but bad for particulate emissions. Filters and scrubbers on power plants are good for acid rain but bad for climate change. “A switch from traditional biomass to fossil fuels is good for indoor air pollution but bad for greenhouse gas emissions. Dearer energy is good for the environment but bad for development. “Unfortunately, taking a holistic view of energy is not how we organise policy and certainly not how we organise research. We can confidently say that the current energy system is sub-optimal, but we cannot begin to answer the question what the optimal energy system would look like.” Follow Roger on Twitter. "I think there is a huge societal pressure on women when it comes to motherhood, this sort of mummy cult that goes on," the actress said. "I think it sort of makes women feel that they have to be a bit defensive about the choices that they make." The 33-year-old will soon be seen in The Girl on the Train, in which she plays an alcoholic divorcee. Her character, Rachel, has unsuccessfully tried to have children. Blunt, who has two children with actor husband John Krasinski, said modern women faced pressure over "whether they want to be a mother" and "whether they want to breastfeed". "In the domestic world... women can be a bit cruel about each other, more so than any other environment," she said at the London premiere of her new film on Tuesday. The actress's comments followed the airing of Motherland on BBC Two, a sitcom pilot about a group of mothers with differing approaches to child-rearing. The programme drew praise from the Telegraph for its "sharply drawn" depiction of "the cloak and dagger politicking of the stay-at-home parenting circuit". In The Girl on the Train, Rachel believes she has information relevant to the disappearance of a former neighbour. The film version of Paula Hawkins' best-selling novel is out in the UK on 5 October.

Wales' Jones won four bouts in Hamburg to reach the final only for Canadian opponent Ivett Gonda to withdraw. The London 2012 gold medalist missed March's Dutch Open and April's Presidents Cup with her injury. The 22-year-old used the German event to improve her fitness ahead of the European Taekwondo Championships in Switzerland later this month. Jones beat Jennifer Richter of Germany 21-3 in her first match of the day, and Genesis Anduja of the Dominican Republic 14-2 in the second round. The European Games champion progressed with a 14-2 quarter-final victory over Germany's Rhonda Nat, then beat Belgian's Raheleh Asemani by the same score. Britain's Feyi Pearce, 19, won a bronze medal in the -58kg category, losing 8-7 to Germany's Amir Mohammad Hosseini in the semi-finals. Josh Calland, 17, beat fellow Briton Archie Waldock on the way to the quarter-finals of the -58kg division, before losing to South Korea's Kim Tae-Hun. Gemma Whyley, 28, was one of two coaches involved with the Welsh Paracheer Unified Freestyle Pom team that won gold at the ICU Cheerleading Championships in Orlando, Florida. A quarter of the team has physical disabilities. Ms Whyley said: "Winning Wales' ever first gold in cheerleading was a dream come true." "The build-up from January this year was pretty intense but all the hard work paid off in the end. "It's something we'll all remember for the rest of our lives." The National Council for Civil Liberties granted "affiliate" status to the Paedophile Information Exchange. The Daily Mail has urged the deputy Labour leader to explain this link. But Ms Harman has accused the newspaper of "smear and innuendo" and said it "should be apologising". From 1978 to 1982 Ms Harman was legal officer at the National Council for Civil Liberties, which was the predecessor to campaign group Liberty. The Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) - a group that spoke positively about adults attracted to children - was granted affiliate status with the National Council for Civil Liberties in 1975. In a TV interview, Ms Harman said: "I'm not going to apologise because I've got nothing to apologise for. "I very much regret that this vile organisation, PIE, ever existed and that it ever had anything to do with NCCL, but it did not affect my work at NCCL." By Norman SmithChief political correspondent, BBC News This story has moved from being a newspaper storm about whether or not Harriet Harman was an apologist for paedophilia - allegations that she has dismissed as a smear and categorically denied - into a row about her judgement and the way she has responded. She was repeatedly pressed on BBC Newsnight last night to apologise or acknowledge it had been a mistake to allow the Paedophile Information Exchange to affiliate to an organisation she was working for, but declined to so. To some extent that has been compounded by the fact this morning we got a partial apology through those around her. The judgement question for Ms Harman is why she found it impossible to express any public and open apology earlier. Far from stepping back, it seems Ms Harman has decided to go on the offensive - suggesting the Daily Mail has published photos of teenage girls designed to "titillate" readers and questioned the newspaper's attitude towards the "sexualisation" of young women. Far from being put to bed, this row is escalating, with the looming question of whether Labour is on the cusp of an all-out war with the Daily Mail, one of Britain's most influential newspapers. Team Miliband is rowing in behind Ms Harman, saying it supports her 100%. We also know Ed Miliband has "unfinished business" with the Daily Mail following its claims last year that his father hated Britain. She added: "They had been pushed to the margins before I actually went to NCCL and to allege that I was involved in collusion with paedophilia or apologising for paedophilia is quite wrong and is a smear. "It is actually not me that should be apologising for something that I haven't done. It is the Daily Mail that should be apologising for their smear and innuendo." Appearing on BBC Two's Newsnight on Monday, she repeatedly sidestepped questions about whether it had been a mistake to allow the Paedophile Information Exchange to be affiliated to the civil liberties group. She said her work had always been "to protect children, especially from child abuse". Ms Harman also said anyone could apply to join the National Council for Civil Liberties upon payment of a fee, and it had had about 6,000 members and nearly 1,000 affiliated organisations when she joined. The newspaper has said she "tried to water down child pornography laws" during her time at the National Council for Civil Liberties. Her husband, Labour MP Jack Dromey, who also used to work at the National Council for Civil Liberties, has insisted he had made "repeated public condemnations" of the pro-paedophile group. Former Labour Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt, who was the National Council for Civil Liberties' general secretary from 1974 to 1983, has also featured in the Daily Mail's coverage but has yet to comment on the story. BBC chief political correspondent Gary O'Donoghue said the "central point" was the "extent to which people in NCCL did push back against this organisation". He said PIE had "got in on the act" of a debate over the age of consent for homosexuals, and there was a question about whether people in NCCL were "culpable in letting them" do so. The Daily Mail's consultant editor Andrew Pierce told the BBC the trio needed to answer why they had "in any way" allowed the National Council for Civil Liberties to associate with the Paedophile Information Exchange. "It is not a smear to keep asking the same question," he said. But Ms Harman attempted to fight back, tweeting the message "when it comes to decency and sexualisation of children, would you take lessons from the Daily Mail?" alongside a photograph of a Daily Mail website article featuring a picture of a 12-year-old in her "first bikini shoot". Asked about the row, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said it was up to Ms Harman to "speak for herself about what happened in the 1970s". But he said the current head of Liberty had been right to dissociate it from what "is clearly an abhorrent organisation". The National Council for Civil Liberties was founded in 1934 as a result of fears that the right to peaceful protest was under threat. The Paedophile Information Exchange was an international organisation of people who traded obscene material. It made national newspaper headlines in the early 1980s when members faced charges of publishing and sending articles through the post, and was disbanded in 1984. Its ex-leader reportedly said paedophilia was "as much a healthy part of the natural diversity of our species as red hair or left-handedness". The Scot, 29, beat Canada's Milos Raonic 6-3 6-3 in less than 90 minutes in what was a rematch of this year's Wimbledon final - also won by Murray. It was the 50th win of the year for the Olympic and Wimbledon champion. The world number two will play either Croatia's Marin Cilic or Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria in Sunday's final. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Murray's last defeat came against world number one Novak Djokovic in the final of the French Open. Since then he has won the Aegon Championships at Queen's, Wimbledon and the Olympics. James Roat, 73, of Lingwood, Norfolk, paid £130 for the three World War One medals but said he would have gone to "whatever price necessary". His father, Clifton, who died aged 89, was awarded the Star, Victory and British war medals. He said: "I'm so pleased to have got them. I did a dance of joy." Mr Roat, who is one of eight children, said he was alerted to the medals after joining various online forums in a bid to research his family history. He then received a message informing him that the medals were coming up for auction in Bury St Edmunds. "I was up against a phone bidder but would've paid whatever price necessary," he said. "I didn't think I'd ever see them. "I can't thank the person enough who got in touch. I've sent him loads of emails thanking him." Mr Roat said his father, a farm worker, sold the medals in the 1950s, "probably for a couple of pints". "We were a big family so I think he needed the money," said Mr Roat. "My siblings are so happy. This is the best Christmas present ever. I don't care if I don't get anything else. "I remember the medals as a child but never thought I'd see them again." He said his father was part of The Essex Regiment. The restrictions on drones, which are remotely-controlled, unmanned aircraft, will apply between 09:00 BST on Thursday and 22:30 on Sunday. The ban also extends between London and Windsor, where Mr Obama will have lunch with the Queen on Friday. Authorities said it was a routine ban, similar to those used at sports events. It comes after a London-bound flight is believed to have hit a drone on Sunday. Detectives launched an investigation after the pilot of the British Airways flight approaching Heathrow reported his aircraft being hit by a drone. Police say the drone was being flown near the area of Richmond Park in south-west London. Are drones dangerous or harmless fun? The rules for flying domestic drones Announcing the restrictions, the UK's National Air Traffic Service said they were part of an "overarching security plan" for the visit of Mr Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Drones will be banned from flying over a large part of the capital, extending from Purley in the south to Haringey in the north. Restrictions are in place between Windsor and London on Friday - when the Obamas will have lunch at Windsor Castle. The ban also extends between Stansted Airport and the capital on Thursday night and Sunday morning. The Civil Aviation Authority says drones can usually be flown up to 400ft (122m). However, the regulations ban aircraft from flying below 762m (2,500ft), unless they are using Heathrow, Stansted or London City airports. Aircraft at London Heliport, RAF Northolt, and those being operated by the emergency services are to be excluded. The restrictions also apply to "any small balloon, any kite weighing not more than two kilograms, any small unmanned aircraft and any parachute" in the relevant areas. Similar rules have previously been introduced for high-profile visits and major sporting fixtures, including the London Olympics in 2012 and the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Drones were recently banned at American Football's Super Bowl. The Obamas' visit to the UK stay is part of a tour including Saudi Arabia and Germany. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will host the couple on Friday, Kensington Palace has said. The president will also stage a press conference with Prime Minister David Cameron. Estate agent George Low, 22, from Kent, died from a stab wound to the neck during a week's holiday in Ayia Napa. His friend, Ben Barker, also 22, suffered four knife wounds to his back during the street attack in the early hours of Sunday. Mr Low's mother, Helen, 47, from Dartford, said the pair had been due to fly home later the same day. "We're just heartbroken," said Mrs Low, a community carer. "We cannot believe something like this could happen to our son. We're just struggling. "He loved it over there and everybody loved him. "Nobody could say anything bad about George." Mrs Low said she and her postman husband Martyn, 55, and their children Wesley, Laura, Oliver and Millie were unclear about the circumstances that led to her son's death. Her son had spent two previous seasons in the resort as a club rep and manager, and was last there in June celebrating his birthday. "We're just so numb," she said. "He wasn't an aggressive person. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time." Relatives are now planning to fly out to Ayia Napa to bring Mr Low's body back to the UK. "We hope they catch whoever was responsible," his mother said. The Foreign Office has said it is supporting Mr Low's family, and is remaining in contact with the authorities in Cyprus. Famagusta District Assistant Police Chief Georgios Economou has said witnesses described the two stabbing suspects as appearing to be foreign nationals. He said investigators tracked some of the suspects' movements through CCTV cameras and that the authorities at all airports, ports and crossing points had been warned to lookout for the suspects. It follows its historic win against Lee Se-dol last year, described by experts as a breakthrough moment for AI. The AI won by just half a point in its latest match. Ke Jie described the AI as "like a god of Go players", while DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis thanked him for a hard-fought match. "It was a such close game, an exciting game and showed how much work Ke Jie put into preparing for the match," said Mr Hassabis in a post-match press conference. "It was interesting for us to see him using moves from AlphaGo's previous games, and we were intrigued to see how AlphaGo deals with its own strategies used - huge respect to Ke Jie for pushing AlphaGo to its limits." He added that the ultimate plan for AlphaGo was a wider deployment "in areas of medicine and science". Of the match, Ke Jie said: "There were some unexpected moves and I was deeply impressed. "I was quite shocked as there was a move that would never happen in a human-to-human Go match." He added that AlphaGo was a "wonderful player" and "completely different" from last year. AlphaGo now has huge influence on the Go circuit, and was star turn at the Future of Go Summit, organised by Google, in China this week. The second game will take place on Thursday, with the final match on Saturday. In Go, players take turns placing stones on a 19-by-19 grid, competing to take control of the most territory. It is considered to be one of the world's most complex games, and is much more challenging for computers than chess. AlphaGo has built up its expertise by studying older matches and playing thousands of games against itself. Police said the 53-year-old was struck on Springburn Road at about 13:25 on Tuesday by a Ford Transit Connect near the Keppochhill Road junction. The pedestrian was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in the city, where his condition remains serious. The 27-year-old driver of the van was unhurt. Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward. Sgt Mark McGowan said: "At this time our investigation into the crash is continuing. "I would urge anyone who witnessed the crash or who has information that may assist our inquiries to contact us through 101. " She was Amy Reid, 21, from Coolnafranky Park, Cookstown. A neighbour said she died during a house party in Coagh early on Friday. Two men, aged 26 and 39, and a 32-year-old woman were arrested for questioning about drugs. They had been taken to hospital as a precaution. They have been released on police bail pending further inquiries. Ms Reid's neighbour, Peter Cassidy, said that the family were "absolutely shocked" at what had happened. "She was a young girl with everything to live for, tragically taken away so young. "I have seen her from since she was a child up to now, a bubbly girl who enjoyed life. "She had three brothers and a sister, they're totally gobsmacked. They can't take it in. The parents are totally devastated." Ulster Unionist councillor Trevor Wilson said it was a "terrible tragedy". "She had her whole life ahead of her. When the news reached Cookstown and the people that lived round about where she lived, it was very sad and they are really stunned." Sinn Féin councillor John McNamee said he knows the young woman's family. "At such a young age of 21, it is terrible for the family and for the whole community. We should reflect on what really happened, a young woman, 21 years of age, in the prime of her life has lost her life," he said. "Her family, friends and neighbours are totally devastated." He warned against speculation about what happened at this stage. Shares in the social network fell almost 10% in after hours trading after it said expenses would be up to 75% higher next year. The warning came after it reported third quarter revenues of $3.2bn (£1.98bn) well ahead of analysts' forecasts. It made $806m profit, up 90% on 2013. The increased profits were driven by another formidable three months for Facebook's advertising business. Ad revenues for July to September were sharply higher than a year ago. Perhaps most telling as an indicator of its future profitability was Facebook's performance in mobile advertising. Mobile ads now make up 66% of its total advertising revenue. A year ago they accounted for less than half of it, and at the time of its stock market debut in 2012 Facebook's mobile ads barely brought in any money at all. Just as important to social networks as their earnings, are their user numbers, which in Facebook's case were also better than many expected. As of the end of September, Facebook had 1.35 billion active users every month, 14% more than in 2013. And the number of people checking their Facebook page at least once a day jumped 19% to 864 million. "This has been a good quarter with strong results," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and chief executive. However, costs increased by 41% during the quarter mainly due to its recent acquisitions: messaging app WhatsApp and virtual reality headset maker Oculus Rift. Chief financial officer Dave Wehner said these would increase further over the next year, and forecast revenue growth would slow to between 40% and 47% in the fourth quarter from 59% in the third quarter. "We believe that we have very substantial growth opportunities in front of us and we plan to invest aggressively to capitalise on those opportunities," Mr Wehner said. Mr Wehner did not provide any prediction on revenue growth next year. "Giving expense guidance without giving revenue guidance is frustrating and spooking The Street. The multi-billion dollar question is what's revenue growth going to look like next year," said BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield. Brian McKandie, 67, was found dead at Fairview Cottages in Badenscoth, Rothienorman, on Saturday 12 March. Police said he was last seen the previous day and are appealing to anyone who saw him on either day to come forward. Det Ch Insp Iain Smith said: "He was a man who was well known in the local community." He added: "We are keen to trace anyone who knows Mr McKandie, who may have seen him that weekend or has any information about what happened to him. "Mr McKandie's home is part of a small collection of houses in a fairly remote area and we're looking for anyone who may have been in the area or passing through that weekend to come forward with information about anyone they may have seen in the area. "We're particularly interested in the hours between midday on Friday the 11th and Saturday afternoon." First Minister Peter Robinson stood aside and three DUP ministers resigned after the party's bid to adjourn the assembly failed. The resignations include Health Minister Simon Hamilton. Women's Aid has told the BBC that the absence of a health minister may now put years of hard work on hold. They are concerned that the crisis will jeopardise a joint strategy due to be published between the departments of justice and health. Louise Kennedy from the charity said it is the victims who will lose out. "We need the government to be working together," she said. 'Life and death' "Ultimately if this work is not done, the losers are going to be the many men, women and children who are victims of domestic violence in Northern Ireland. "To put that in context, last year alone, our 24-hour domestic and sexual violence helpline received 55,000 calls." The impact of Thursday's DUP resignations is now beginning to sink in. Some of Northern Ireland's health charities have asked what will happen to work they have been carrying out with the support of the health minister. While it is civil servants who keep the health service ticking over, it is the responsibility of Simon Hamilton to sign off on major pieces of work. This includes strategies which will eventually become policy. One such piece of work is the Stopping Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse strategy. "We need that strategy in place, we need the departments to work together," said Ms Kennedy. "It is, after all, a matter of life and death for those victims." Aidan Sands was found at the bottom of the pool at the Red Lion Caravan Park in Arbroath on 18 June 2011. He passed away in Ninewells Hospital in his native Dundee four days later. After his mother also died last February, her parents have taken on a legal case against the campsite's owners for £50,000. Three years on from the incident, the Crown Office is still considering whether charges under health and safety legislation will be brought against Loch Earn Caravan Parks Ltd. The family of the Mill O'Mains primary school pupil want to find out why he died and ask questions about staffing at the pool at the time of the incident. Brian Castle, a partner at law firm Digby Brown's Dundee office, confirmed he was representing the family in a case at the Court of Session. He said: "The circumstances of this case are deeply tragic, and we have raised civil proceedings because we are determined and committed to helping the family get answers to the many questions they still have about what happened." Loch Earn Caravan Parks Ltd declined to comment on the case. It was a thriving, busy part of Belfast - home to hundreds of families. Then in the Seventies, the Belfast Urban Project began - the Westlink. That saw many homes in the docks area demolished and the people scattered far and wide. It had a huge impact on those who used to live there. "I was born in Pilot Street and we lived in Ship Street," said Brian Quinn, a former resident. "And when I was 14, the house was demolished. We had to move. "As a kid, it was very strange. You were just used to your friends and all of a sudden, your friends were away. They'd moved to different areas." It could have meant the end for Sailortown, but Brian and some former residents had other ideas. They kept in touch as time passed by. "We used to meet up from time to time over the years. "A few of us got together and decided to meet more often. And the focal point was always Sailortown." That shared passion for their original area's past led them to form the Docksiders Senior Men's Group. With some financial support from the Big Lottery Fund, they set about collecting the stories of Sailortown. "There've been numerous stories told," Brian said. "You can't remember them all, so we decided to get them down in writing so it's there for other people to see. "People can't listen to our stories if they're not with us, but they can read our books." The books have covered childhood tales and stories of working life. Now on their fourth instalment, they are turning their attention to the past. "The fourth book is six stories of six of our members who have passed away," Brian said. "And they're stories told from their friends' perspectives and from their families' perspective. These were people who were born and reared in Sailortown and lived in Sailortown." There is little left of the original Sailortown - just four houses on Garmoyle Street, a couple of buildings that are now pubs and St. Joseph's Church, which links many of the former residents as well as members of the group. "Five of our members were baptised here," said Brian. "The one who wasn't baptised here, he was married here and his son was baptised here." The church was closed in 2001, but it still holds a place in the hearts of the community. "At one stage, there was around 5,000 on the parish records, so there was a large community," said Brian. "We keep it alive. We're down there every Sunday having a short service on Sunday mornings, then we go back round to the offices and hold our meetings." "The chapel was built in 1879 and the houses on Garmoyle Street were built a few years before that. "It's great that there are still at least some of the buildings here in Sailortown, because most of it's unrecognisable." But the group is determined that Sailortown will live on, on paper at least. "I would say that the lads look forward to their childhood," said Brian. "They're always talking about their childhood days. They never talk much about the present day, except if it's to discuss football matches or horse-racing results. But it's all memories that they talk about. "We enjoy telling stories and we hope to publish more in the years to come." The pygmy marmosets at Skansen zoo in Stockholm had been destined for a Riyadh zoo. "They didn't want the monkeys anymore because of the political situation," said Skansen zoo boss Jonas Wahlstrom. Last month the Saudi ambassador to Sweden was recalled, after Sweden ended an arms deal in a human rights dispute. Weighing just over 100 grams (3.5 oz) each pygmy marmosets are the smallest primates in the world. "It's a little comical. I'll just have to wait until they grant visas to Swedish businessmen again. Maybe monkeys will get visas then too," said Mr Wahlstrom, quoted by Radio Sweden. Last month Saudi Arabia attacked Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom for an "offensive" speech which it called "blatant interference" in its internal affairs. Saudi Arabia prevented her from reading the speech at a meeting of the Arab League in Cairo. In the speech, Ms Wallstrom called for "freedom of association, assembly, religion and expression" and for Arab nations to "focus attention on women's rights, women's representation and their adequate resources". Mr Lochte had claimed that he and a group of three other US swimmers had been robbed at a petrol station. But CCTV footage contradicted that story, showing the men had vandalised the petrol station. Mr Lochte told Globo TV, Brazil's largest broadcaster, that he had not lied over what happened. "I wasn't lying to a certain extent," he said. "I over-exaggerated what was happening to me." He added that he was sorry, saying: "Brazil doesn't deserve that." The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has set up a disciplinary commission to investigate the incident and the four athletes' behaviour. US cringes at Ryan Lochte 'bro' antics Five times Lochte made a splash News of the alleged robbery emerged through Mr Lochte's mother last Sunday. Mr Lochte then gave an account of the events, saying he and the other swimmers were returning by taxi from a club in the early hours of the morning when they were robbed at gunpoint by men who forced the vehicle to pull over. However, police said a day later that there were inconsistencies in the men's accounts. On Wednesday, two of the men, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger, were taken off a US-bound plane at Rio de Janeiro airport and questioned by police. Both were eventually allowed to leave the country. Another swimmer, Jimmy Feigen agreed to pay $11,000 to a Brazilian charity after the incident. On Friday, Mr Conger said in a statement that Mr Lochte had pulled a metal advertisement in a frame to the ground, but Mr Conger said he was "unsure why". He also said Mr Lochte began yelling at guards for an unknown reason. The men then agreed to pay the guards for the damage. Rio de Janeiro's mayor Eduardo Paes had told media he felt nothing but "shame and contempt" towards the men for their portrayal of what happened. In a separate interview with the US network NBC, part of which also aired on Saturday night, Mr Lochte said he felt "hurt" watching footage of his team-mates being taken off their plane. Mr Lochte had already returned to the United States from Brazil. "I mean, I let my team down and you know, I don't want them to think I left them out to dry," he said. However, he maintained the men were threatened and made to pay. "Whether you call it a robbery or whether you call it extortion or us just paying for the damages, we don't know. All we know is that there was a gun pointed in our direction and we were demanded to give money." Lochte is one of the most successful swimmers in history, with 12 Olympic medals, and he once had his own reality television show in the US. In Rio, he swam in two events, winning gold in the 4x200m freestyle relay along with Conger. Feigen won gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay. Bentz competed in the 4x200m preliminaries, but not the final. He still received a gold medal after the US team's win. The discovery was made during a search operation in the Southway area of the city on Thursday morning. Army bomb disposal officers were called to the scene at about 10:00 BST and the items were taken away for further examination. Supt Gordon McCalmont said they were "lethal and clearly going to be used to inflict serious harm and fear". "Whoever is responsible for burying these munitions does not care that these could have been discovered by a member of the public; nor do they care that these are intended to cause serious harm to a victim in the future," he added. The officer, who is the PSNI's district commander for Derry City and Strabane, appealed for anyone with information about the hide to contact detectives. "I would also like to thank local people for their patience today while Southway was closed to enable us to remove these dangerous items," he said. Edna Fullwood suffered serious injuries when she was hit by the Audi A3 on Longton Hall Road, Blurton, on Saturday and died in hospital, police said. The 28-year-old man driving the black Audi was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and released on bail as inquiries continue. Anyone with information about the incident was urged to contact police. The family of Ms Fullwood, who was from Longton, are being offered support from specially trained officers, a spokesman added.

CNN said Venezuelans would now be able to access its information without charge on the internet. Venezuela's National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) accused CNN of "defaming and distorting the truth". The accusation came after CNN broadcast a report on alleged passport fraud at the Venezuelan embassy in Iraq. The report alleged that Venezuelan Vice-President Tareck El Aissami was directly linked to the granting of 173 passports, including to members of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is designated a terrorist group by the US and other Western powers. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez gave a news conference on Wednesday in which she dismissed the allegations. She accused the whistleblower behind them of being an "agent in the service of international intelligence agencies" and of having links to Venezuelan opposition groups. The ban on the US news channel comes at a time of rising tension between the United States and Venezuela. On Monday, the US treasury department sanctioned Vice-President El Aissami for allegedly trafficking drugs. In its statement, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) described him as a drug "kingpin" who worked with traffickers in Mexico and Colombia to ship drugs to the US. Mr El Aissami accused the US of imperialist aggression. Tension rose further late on Wednesday when US President Donald Trump posted a photo of himself in the White House meeting Lilian Tintori, the wife of jailed Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez. Mr Lopez is serving a 14-year jail sentence for inciting violence at mass protests in 2014. Mr Lopez, who leads the Voluntad Popular (Popular Will) party says the sentence was politically motivated. Before the tweet, President Maduro had said: "I don't want problems with Trump". But after the tweet was posted, Foreign Minister Rodriguez wrote on Twitter that she rejected "the meddling and aggression of US President @realDonaldTrump who tries to give orders in our fatherland". She also tweeted that President Trump had "sided with the boss behind violent acts" while President Maduro had proposed "initiating a new era of respectful relations" between the two.

CNN's Spanish language service has begun broadcasting on YouTube after the Venezuelan government pulled it from the country's cable channels.

John Lyall fell backwards into the water at Pembroke's Mill Pond on 16 April. Two passers-by tried to help but the 56-year-old, of Pembroke Dock, could not be resuscitated. On Thursday, Coroner Mark Layton said Mr Lyall died by drowning, at a hearing in Milford Haven. Wayne Anthony Young, 52, of Pembroke, died at the pond on New Year's Day and the body of 18-year-old Robert Mansfield, also of Pembroke, was found there on 27 July. Inquests into their deaths are yet to take place. Pembroke Council has rejected calls for safety netting to be erected at the pond, with Pembrokeshire Council backing that decision after saying such structures would be impractical.

The death of a man at a Pembrokeshire pond where two others have died this year was accidental, a coroner has found.

David Bonnar, 36, and Scott Carbutt, 32, were arrested at Ronaldsway Airport on 14 October after heroin valued at £22,600 was seized. The two men pleaded guilty to four charges including possessing heroin with intent to supply. Both men appeared at Douglas courthouse earlier and a sentencing date was set for the 15 December. Police described the seizure of nearly £23,000 of heroin as "significant." Security forces in Ukraine have accused the Russian army of disrupting mobile communications. Smaller-scale attacks have seen news websites and social media defaced with propaganda messages. Cyber-attacks were utilised heavily during Russia's 2008 conflict with Georgia. In that case, distributed denial of service attacks - known as DDoS - were used to overwhelm websites and servers in Georgia in the weeks leading up to the military action. The Georgian government said Russia was behind the DDoS attacks, but the Kremlin denied this - stating that it was possible for anyone, inside or outside Russia, to launch such an attack. On Tuesday, Ukrainian authorities confirmed that communication networks had been targeted, the first significant disruption of technology. "I confirm that an... attack is under way on mobile phones of members of the Ukrainian parliament for the second day in a row," Ukrainian security chief Valentyn Nalivaichenko told journalists. "At the entrance to [telecoms firm] Ukrtelecom in Crimea, illegally and in violation of all commercial contracts, was installed equipment that blocks my phone as well as the phones of other deputies, regardless of their political affiliation." In addition, Ukrtelecom said its premises were raided last week by armed men, and fibre optic cabling was tampered with, causing loss of service for some users. Russian security services have not commented on whether they were behind either incident. Security experts have speculated that Russia may be exercising restraint with its cyber-capabilities. Marty Martin, a former senior operations officer with the US Central Intelligence Agency, said more extreme cyber-attacks may only take place if violence escalated. "A lot of times you don't want to shut things down," he told Reuters. "If you do that, then you don't get your flow of intelligence. You are probably better off monitoring it." What we are unlikely to see, experts say, is cyber-attacks of the same scale as in 2007, when Estonia suffered a 10-day attack on its internet services, causing major disruptions to its financial system. The attacks coincided with a disagreement between Estonia and Russia over the relocation of a Soviet war memorial. While military action is visible and open to scrutiny from the international community, cyber-activity is considerably harder to track and attribute to a source. Much of Ukraine and Russia's cyber-attack capability lies with criminal gangs, as well as so-called patriotic hackers willing to work for each country's respective cause. "If the Russians are able to get their patriotic hackers to effectively participate in a war for them, it could be very effective," said Paul Rosenzweig, founder of Red Branch Consulting, and formerly of US homeland security. "That's not even beginning to think about the Russian military's capabilities directly, which are also no doubt quite sophisticated, but we've never really seen deployed. The Russian military's capabilities are unclear." Likewise, Ukraine can also draw on considerable expertise - provided it can be mobilised. "They are very active and very effective as well," Mr Rosenzweig told the BBC. "We sometimes mistake Ukrainian groups for Russian groups as they come from roughly similar IP addresses and things like that. The Ukrainians, being slightly more westernised in their nature have expertise based in other countries. "It's a really effective outside group, a diaspora if you will, but we just don't know whether they will be motivated to fight or not." Activity from these groups would probably focus on small-scale defacements and disruption, experts believe. One Ukrainian hacktivist group - Cyber-Berkut - posted a list of 40 websites that it had vandalised since the dispute began. It included the homepage of state-funded broadcaster Russia Today, which for a short time was altered so that the word "Russians" was replaced with "Nazis". But Mr Rosenzweig was keen to stress that any perceived damage from these types of cyber-attacks is of little significance if on-the-ground military action is taken. "We should not overemphasise the importance of cyber," he said. "Tanks beat cyber-bullets." Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC The Financial Times reported that talks had started several months ago. But a McLaren spokesman said: "We can confirm that McLaren is not in discussion with Apple in respect of any potential investment." However, the firm "regularly" has "confidential conversations with a wide range of parties", he added. The Financial Times reported that a potential deal would see Apple pay up to £1.5bn for McLaren, or make an investment for part of it, citing sources it said had been briefed on negotiations. It said that Apple was interested in accelerating its own car projects. The BBC understands that McLaren had been in talks with Apple over its rumoured Apple car, but those talks had not come to fruition. Analysis: Theo Leggett, BBC business reporter Why would Apple be interested in McLaren? It's hard to see why the technology giant would want control of a Formula 1 team, or what interest it might have in the supercars built by McLaren Automotive. A more likely target is McLaren Applied Technologies, a sister business to the other two. Part of what it does is data analytics. During Formula 1 races, McLaren uses computers to model pretty much any scenario that might occur, so that the team can adapt its strategy on a continuous basis. This kind of modelling can be used in other scenarios too - for example to predict how traffic will flow through a typical city centre, and how problems in one area might have knock-on effects miles away. It also develops advanced materials - lightweight carbon composites and complex alloys, which are used by the automotive business. And it's recognised as a leader in the development of simulators, which can model and predict vehicle behaviour. It's an open secret in Silicon Valley that Apple is developing a car; it's widely believed the company has ambitions to become a leader in the market for driverless vehicles. Advanced materials, predictive analystics and expertise in simulating vehicle behaviour... you can start to see why the Californian giant might be interested in a relatively small business based in Woking. Apple ploughed $1bn (£770m) into Chinese ride-hailing app Didi Chuxing earlier this year and is testing driverless electric cars. Jim Holder, editorial director at Haymarket Automotive, said that Apple updates its products every year, whereas carmakers only do it every five to seven years. Such is the pace of development within Formula 1 that McLaren will upgrade and refine its racing cars multiple times each week during a season. It is thought that Apple is particularly keen on McLaren's expertise in rapid response times. If Apple wants a prototyping arm with established credentials - McLaren is a great fit. Mr Holder added Tesla has disrupted the car industry, but Apple buying McLaren would be much bigger. The baby product company said it was concerned by reports of a "build-up" in the tubes of its Perfect Prep machines. Parents have taken to social media to complain of feeling "angry" and "let down". Tommee Tippee said initial investigations suggest the build-up was carbon residue which is "harmless". The Perfect Prep machine is used to make a formula feed by controlling the quality, volume and temperature of the water being used. The company posted a statement on its Facebook page saying it had received comments from parents complaining the internal pipes of the machines were not clean. It urged families who had found a similar build-up to contact the company to have the machine returned to them for examination. More than 3,600 comments have since been left on the Tommee Tippee page, with several parents saying they had also discovered unclean pipes. Gillian Clelland, from Glasgow, said the machine she uses to feed her son Hayden was "full of black mould in the pipe". She said: "The worrying thing is I don't know how long the mould has been there and if it has affected Hayden in any way." Allana Simpson wrote: "I've just opened mine up to check after seeing this and there is black mould in the pipe. My poor wee boy. This won't be getting used. Horrified." Holly Dack-Hughes said she had always done a "full clean" and changed the filter on her machine "every month" but opened it to find it was "absolutely disgusting". "No wonder my daughter was having an upset tummy," she said. However other parents took to the page to say they had checked their machines and found the pipes were clean. Astyn Hutchinson said the pipes of her machine - which she has she has had for 18 months and uses for every feed - were "completely clear". She added: "I love this machine and has been a Godsend especially for those night feeds in the early stages." Sarah Stephens said she bought hers in 2015 and had used it continuously for a year and found "all pipes clear and clean and looks as good as new" when she checked. Tommee Tippee said it was "concerned" by the complaints made and has started an investigation. It said it would be impossible to determine the exact cause until it had examined the machines sent back by parents. A spokesman added: "Our preliminary investigation has found two things. Firstly, the build-up we've seen so far we suspect is carbon residue and not mould. Carbon is a harmless, inert bi-product of the filtration process. "Secondly, some parents have told us they've used ordinary water jug filters instead of the Tommee Tippee filters. Standard filters do not contain the ultra-filtration membrane needed to remove bacteria, plus are more likely to release carbon into the system. "Although we can't be certain until we've received back and examined more machines, it is possible these factors are linked to what people are seeing. "However, the investigation will continue until we've found answers." Among those paying tribute to the actress - who turns 71 tomorrow - were former president Bill Clinton, Liza Minnelli and singer Tony Bennett. She is one of just a few to have won all four major US awards - an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and an honorary Tony. The event raised $2m (£1.3m) to help the centre promote independent cinema. Accepting the award, Streisand told the audience: "Ever since I can remember, people have been calling me bossy and opinionated." She continued: "Maybe that's because I am. Three cheers for bossy women." Streisand began her film career with 1968's Funny Girl, for which she won an Oscar. Organisers showed clips from the film and her other movies which include The Way We Were, What's Up, Doc? and the Meet the Parents sequel, Meet the Fockers. In a video clip, Robert Redford - her co-star in The Way We Were - joked that he'd been warned she was "a pain," but discovered that was "totally engaging to act with, beautiful, thorough and skilled". Streisand won a second Oscar in 1997 for Evergreen, the theme song from A Star is Born. She has won four Emmy awards and 10 Grammy awards. Former US President Bill Clinton said: "Every great person is driven," the former president said. "But if that person has massive talent, big brains and a bigger heart, you want to go along for the ride." Also appearing onstage were Michael Douglas, Pierce Brosnan, Kris Kristofferson and Meet The Fockers co-stars Blythe Danner and Ben Stiller. Streisand was serenaded by Bennett, who closed the show with the song, Smile, written by Charlie Chaplin. The Film Society's Annual Gala began in 1972 and honoured Chaplin - who returned to the US from exile in Switzerland to accept the commendation. Past winners include French actress Catherine Deneuve, Sidney Poitier, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. The film society was founded in 1969 to celebrate American and international cinema and support new filmmakers. She will promote plans to make at least 2,500 "rent-to-own" homes available to first-time buyers, on Friday. "If you can afford your rent then we will help you own your home," Ms Williams said. Parties are focusing on key messages as the poll on 5 May approaches. Under the scheme, people would build up a share in their home through monthly payments equivalent to rent and own the property outright after 30 years. Ms Williams added: "For too long Wales hasn't been seen as a place where young people can fulfil their dreams and ambitions. "Under our proposals, it doesn't matter what your background or family circumstance is, if you can afford your rent then we will help you own your home - something nearly everyone dreams of." A masked man entered a house in James Street at about 19:15 GMT on Sunday and shot a man in his 20s in the leg. His mother, a woman in her 50s, was also shot in the foot. Police said their injuries were not life-threatening. Insp Paul Patton appealed for anyone with information to contact police. Albanian national Shkelzen Dauti, known as Genny, died in hospital after he was found in the road in Gilpin Close, Southampton, in the early hours of Saturday. The 30-year-old arrested woman has been released with no further action. Two men, aged 27 and 28, held on suspicion of murder have been bailed until 12 June. Detectives had urged anyone who knew or worked with Mr Dauti, or knew his movements leading up the early hours of Saturday, to get in touch. Scotland international Tonks, 26, joined the Exiles last month from Edinburgh in a bid to help them climb away from the bottom of the table. And he kicked 13 points in the crucial 23-18 victory against Gloucester on Sunday to boost their survival hopes. "I'm enjoying being part of the club and set up, but obviously I've arrived at a tough time," he told BBC Sport. Tonks, whose last international appearance came against Italy in August, has signed a deal with Irish until the end of the season. The former Leicester and Northampton player hopes a regular run of appearances in the number 10 shirt will not only guide London Irish to safety, but put him in the frame for a Scotland recall. "I'm enjoying getting a run of games and having a real shot at fly-half," he said. "The Scotland coaches have told me if I'm playing well regularly, it doesn't matter if it's in Scotland, England or anywhere. "I enjoy having a strong input in how we play the game. Hopefully, I can pass that on to my team-mates and implement the way the coaches want us to play the game." Mark Mason, 48, from Rhyl, Denbighshire, died after being stabbed at the town's Home Bargains car park on 27 October. James Davies, 20, Anthony Baines, 30, and Mark Ennis, 30, from Liverpool, deny murder and malicious wounding with intent. Jake Melia, 21, also from Liverpool, has admitted all charges. Paul Lewis QC, prosecuting, told Mold Crown Court Mr Mason was "repeatedly and fatally stabbed" by the three defendants and Melia, as he sat in a van in the car park. Justin Trickett and Sam Illidge were also stabbed but their wounds were less severe. The court heard the attack was the result of a "turf war" which had erupted between two rival gangs over the control of the drugs trade in the Rhyl area. The defendants and Melia were members of the "Pensarn Crew", sometimes called "Ste's Crew", Mr Lewis said. Mr Mason and the others were members of "Mark's Crew", or "Marco's Crew" - although it was not suggested that Mr Mason was the leader. "The fatal attack appears to have been an act of retribution on the part of the defendants and Melia," Mr Lewis added. Jurors were shown CCTV footage of a white Renault van near The Cob area of Rhyl on the afternoon of 27 October, with "an incident" taking place in the background. The court then viewed footage, shortly after, of Mr Davies and Melia walking towards Wellington Road, where the Pensarn gang allegedly ran a drugs operation from a flat. Mr Lewis said their clothing was "visibly wet and muddy" and a witness would claim they told him they had been forced to run into the water to escape an attack. Mr Lewis said Mr Davies and Melia believed Mr Mason and Mr Illidge were responsible for the attack. He added: "Both armed themselves with kitchen knives...and said that they were going to get revenge for what happened to them." The jury was told Mr Davies said he was going to "do them in," but they "wanted assistance" first. The case continues. We don't want to fight but by Jingo if we do, We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too. It was, he informed us, the origin of the sentiment of Jingoism which stirred or appalled opinion in the 19th century, according to taste and inclination. The words came into my head as I listened to Kezia Dugdale deliver her speech to Scottish Labour's annual conference in Perth. Not that Ms Dugdale is remotely jingoistic. Or militaristic. No, it was another section entirely which prompted my thoughts to wander to a dusty classroom in the High School of Dundee, so many years ago. The section? "We don't want to fight." Because Ms Dugdale resolutely stressed that she was not keen to engage in a further constitutional battle in Scotland, indyref2. It was a bad thing. It was other than good. It was not desired by the people of Scotland. It was a mistake. It was not needed. It would not put bread on the table. It was a hissing and a byword. Having thus denigrated constitutional politics, she proceeded to deliver a speech which dealt, very substantially, with….constitutional politics. A conundrum? Yes, but perhaps also a dose of realism. Thus far, Labour has spent the time since the 2014 referendum and indeed the 2016 version urging a return to the politics of equality, the politics of economic reform. But the party has found it impossible to quieten the constitutional debate. Particularly since the Brexit vote. The Scottish government and, the SNP would say it is entirely legitimate to question whether Scotland was misled during the 2014 referendum by pro-Union arguments to the effect that the best way to sustain Scottish membership of the EU was to resist independence. Now, Labour has concluded that, far from closing the debate down, the party needs a distinctive voice in that debate, a card on the table. I discussed the nature of federalism yesterday - and would refer the sleepless to those meanderings. Perhaps I might simply add today that Labour's endeavour is designed to project a unique offer, clear from the pro-Union stance of the Conservatives. Not independence, then, but not unalloyed Unionism either. The next stage? Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson backed the idea of a People's Convention across the UK. Expect moves towards that in the next weeks and months. Introducing Ms Dugdale was Sadiq Khan, the Labour Mayor of London. The advance trail of his speech caused controversy. It was said he would argue there was "no difference in that respect between those who try to divide us on the basis of whether we're English or Scottish, and those who try to divide us on the basis of our background, race or religion". First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she had been a supporter of the mayor in the past but differed very sharply from his calculation of political equivalence on this occasion. It was an insult, she said, to the socially inclusive outlook of her party. In the event, Mr Khan qualified his remarks in his speech by noting that he was "not saying that nationalists are somehow racist or bigoted - but now, more than ever - what we don't need is more division and separation." In an interview with me, Mr Khan repeatedly insisted that he had not intended to insult the SNP but was merely stressing the need for unity. At conference, delegates defended him - but, privately, some wished he had found another form of words. Smith, 25, won a silver in the pommel horse event in 2012 and was part of the group that collected a team bronze. He won pommel horse gold at the recent British Championships and is in a six-man squad for the event in Montpellier. Four-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist Claudia Fragapane, 17, is one of four gymnasts in the women's squad. She is joined by European and Commonwealth bars champion Becky Downie, her younger sister Ellie and 2015 British all-around champion Amy Tinkler, who makes her senior international debut. The event begins on 15 April and World Championships all-around silver medallist Max Whitlock is also in the men's squad, as are Sam Oldham, Kristian Thomas, Daniel Purvis and Courtney Tulloch. After the Olympics, Smith took a break from the sport and spent some time working in television programmes, winning the Strictly Come Dancing title in December 2012. But he returned to gymnastics in 2014 and won a pommel horse bronze and a team gold while representing England in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Wearing an EEG monitor strapped to his head he collected millions of snapshots of the activity in his brain as he crossed 69 cities over seven months in the UK from June last year. The monitor measures the electrical activity of the brain from sensors located across key areas of the scalp. Its software provided metrics on how stressed, relaxed, excited, focused, interested and engaged he was during his walks. He says the monitor helped him become more aware of his response to his surroundings. "You become more attuned to the things you find interesting, uninteresting, stressful, unstressful. "If you scale that principle up that could be very powerful for the design of cities in the future." Of course it is far from infallible and the readings can also be affected by many things beyond the environment. A moment when his stress, excitement, focus and engagement levels peaked while walking across Cardiff was not down to its beauty but rather his need just at that moment to go to the toilet. Climbing hills in the Lake District created stress, as did crossing busy dual carriageways, but the machine does not differentiate between experiences that are pleasurable and those that are not. Although the monitor helped him become more aware of his surroundings, he said: "What's interesting is that for about half my walk across cities I'm not focused and I'm not actually in tune with my emotions." However, the monitor did pick up on key times when his stress levels altered in line with his environment. His trip across Cardiff started well, with low levels of stress as he began his walk in woodland, although he came across the more familiar sight of a pile of rubbish. Indeed, fly-tipping was a recurring blight that seemed to prompt a rise in his stress levels. Similarly each time he encountered a road, his stress and focus levels increased, whereas by contrast water had an immediate calming effect on him. As he continued his walks, he often found himself alone although many cities could be crossed in around an hour or less. In Aberdeen, its appeal was that much of his route followed an old railway line. "It's full of interest and completely functional. Aberdeen as a walk just worked," he says. Out of all the cities he visited, Swansea was one of his favourites to walk through as he described it as "surprisingly green with a ribbon of woodland". Indeed, he was surprised by how green many cities are. Elsewhere he found Newcastle to be the "best city for seeing children playing out in the wild" while in Wolverhampton he loved "Dudley with its hills and great views across the city". If there was anything he could change immediately having travelled through so many cities on foot, he said: "I would speak to people about not putting dog poo in bags and adorning trees at head height for other people to pick up, it's all over the country and it's a shameful problem we need to deal with." Most of his journeys began with either a rail or bus journey to the outskirts of a city. Accommodation was often a tent or a B&B and given he is a vegan, he made more than a few visits to curry houses. To avoid blisters he put a plaster on the problem area before the walk. For the most part the weather was good and perfect for his walks. "I did have to protect my headset from the elements though, so always carried a sturdy umbrella with me," he said. His walk, which began in June last year with a walk across St David's in Wales, ended in December in Birmingham. Along with 69 cities, he also visited 15 national parks to compare urban and rural environments. Having completed his trips, he said: "If lots of people were wearing these monitors it could inform how we build cities to make them less stressful and more interesting to walk." Now he will upload the data to begin to build an "emotional" map of Britain and hopes others will follow. "I'm going to be using the five million points of geolocated data to see how my emotions changed across different kinds of places. "My plan is to release all of the data as open data, so that anyone can interpret it and present it in interesting ways." The information is now going online. The striker slipped the ball past Marek Stech for the opener from Bersant Celina's through ball. Elliot Lee went close to an equaliser with a curling effort and Luton continued to press after the break. But McGoldrick remained a threat and forced Stech into a fine save before rolling home his second late on. Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy made seven changes for the game, four of them enforced because of injuries to Jordan Spence, Grant Ward, Tommy Smith and Joe Garner. They gave new signing Martyn Waghorn his debut as a substitute in the second half and he was just wide with a good effort before McGoldrick made the tie safe.

The council said there were 8,300 people on the waiting list for social housing - a figure set to increase further in the next five years. It has 13,470 properties, which has fallen from 23,000 since 1985, largely due to the Right to Buy legislation. The Welsh Government has already said it wants to abolish it in Wales. Most council tenants have the right to buy their homes after five years and receive a discount of up to £8,000 on the value. But the authority said there was a "very high level of housing need" in the city which needed to be addressed. Susan Elsmore, cabinet member for health, housing and wellbeing, said the council estimated it would need an extra 2,024 affordable homes each year for the next five years and research showed more than 5,000 families were living in overcrowded or unsuitable homes. "Every month, 450 new applications for housing are received but only 860 council properties became vacant and available to let in the whole of 2015/16," she said. "Every house sold through the [Right to Buy] scheme is a home that is no longer available to a family in need so for this reason, we will consider suspending the scheme and consulting with those who would be affected." If the plans are agreed by councillors at a meeting on 10 November, a consultation will begin with the results considered in the new year. Several other councils in Wales, including Swansea, Carmarthenshire and Flintshire have already approved plans to suspend the scheme. The Royals clinched the WSL 2 title on Sunday with a 3-2 win over Aston Villa. "There will be a restructuring at the club, going full-time," Chambers told BBC Sport. "Then it's a case of sitting down and talking with the players. "They won't get that long off. They think they might, but they're back in before Christmas, and we go again." Reading and second-placed Doncaster Rovers Belles had already sealed promotion to the top flight, but Chambers' side held on to top spot on the final day on goal difference. It was confirmed on Sunday that both clubs have officially met the Football Association's criteria to join the top tier. "It is a fantastic feeling," Chambers added. "I've known the girls have been able to do it since the start of the season. "I've been here from the start, since 2006. It's been a rollercoaster. The club are fully behind us. They want us to grow." Royals captain Kirsty McGee added: "Our togetherness has won us the league this year. "I'm sure Kelly and the staff are going to strengthen the squad, and we're only going to go on and do better and bigger things now." Harriet Scott, who scored Reading's opening goal against Villa, added: "I've been with the club since I was 12. "Promotion was the best thing that ever happened to this club, and this is just the cherry on the top." Belles boss Glen Harris started his side's final game with four strikers on the field, in an attempt to overturn Reading's superior goal difference. "I think there's a tinge of disappointment with the players," he told BBC Sport after the Belles' 4-0 win over Millwall Lionesses. "We didn't quite get enough goals. "But I can't fault the girls today. We're nine games unbeaten in the league now so it gives us momentum to go on for next season. "We want Belles back where we believe they belong. Once the girls get over this, they'll realise their achievement." Hewlett, who died following a diagnosis of cancer of the oesophagus in 2016, movingly shared his experience of coping with his illness on BBC Radio 4. He had fronted the show since 2008. Rajan said: "I have been addicted to The Media Show for years and am genuinely humbled at the prospect of sitting in Steve Hewlett's chair. "He was a giant of broadcasting and I will do my utmost to maintain the very high standards he achieved." Hewlett's interviews with Eddie Mair on Radio 4's PM offered insight into his cancer journey, examining issues such as drug trials and reaction to treatment. The Media Show is Radio 4's weekly look back at the latest stories and trends across the media industry both at home and abroad, and Rajan will make his debut on 10 May. As well as being the BBC's media editor, he has deputised for Jeremy Vine and Simon Mayo on Radio 2, appeared on BBC One's Masterchef, presented episodes of Radio 4's Start the Week and Any Answers and is one of the hosts of Asian Network's The Big Debate. Rajan is also a former editor of The Independent. Andrea Catherwood will continue to present some editions of the programme.

He will be joined by international trade minister Mark Garnier and Bank of England governor Mark Carney for the talks in New Delhi and Mumbai. Mr Hammond said boosting trade and investment "beyond the borders of Europe" was more important than ever. He said it was vital to make links with "the world's most vibrant economies". Last week Prime Minister Theresa May formally activated Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, starting a two-year countdown for quitting the 28-nation bloc. The UK has started looking to establish new trade deals with non-EU nations over the coming years, although it cannot sign them while still a member of the bloc. Mr Hammond said the UK was about to embark on an "exciting new phase of our economic history". As well as Mr Garnier, Mr Carney and Commercial Secretary Baroness Neville-Rolfe, the Treasury said the trade mission includes some of the UK's most experienced leaders in financial services and financial technology. Mr Hammond added: "The UK is perfectly placed to be India's financial partner of choice, helping it to raise the finance needed for its continued rapid growth and my message will be 'make in India, finance in the UK'. "Our innovative markets have helped support the development of whole new product classes such as masala bonds that will support India's transformation." The people of Eriskay, in the Outer Hebrides, awoke on 5 February 1941 to find a cargo ship, the SS Politician, aground off their island. A wreck was not unusual but for islanders struggling to get by on wartime rations, the cargo was astonishing: 250,000 bottles of whisky. What happened next was immortalised in the film Whisky Galore! Under cover of darkness locals rowed out to the wreck and scrambled over the side using rope ladders. In the following days and weeks they took hundreds of cases of whisky from the hold. Eriskay's priest, Father Calum MacLellan, 84, was a boy at the time. He said: "It depended on your own ability or agility to get as much ashore as you could." But was it salvage or plunder? No duty had been paid on the spirits, so Customs and Excise came after the islanders. "I suppose the bigger thing was hiding it, especially from the Customs officers, and that produced a lot of hilarity," said Fr MacLellan. But locals weren't just helping themselves to the water of life. According to the priest, "the whole island was swathed in linen" from the Politician's hold - and further treasures remained on board. He said: "There were bicycles on it but we couldn't use them because there was no road on island. "There was a grand piano as well but none of our homes was big enough to accommodate a grand piano." The ship eventually disappeared beneath the waves but Don MacPhee, who has dived down to see her, said there was a dark side to her legacy. "There were a lot of social problems which resulted and quite a few families regarded it with quite a bit of opprobrium," he said. "A lot of the crofting work was abandoned. People ended up as long-term alcoholics. "The whisky was available for years and years afterwards ... in extremely large amounts. "It was a case of get as much as you can down your neck in as short a space as possible." But not all the salvaged whisky was drunk. Years later, bottles are still turning up. Donald John Rodgers, who captains the Eriskay to Barra ferry, is one of many islanders who have discovered a secret stash. "I was digging a path from the house down to the shore," he said. "I felt the glass and I thought 'there's something funny here' and I cleared it away and six bottles were lying in a row." Mr Rodgers reckons there is plenty more whisky still to be found. Seventy years later, on the little island of Eriskay, the real story of Whisky Galore is still being written. Permission to add to the development, in Bicester, Oxfordshire, will make the project the largest of its type in the UK, it is claimed. Cherwell District Council granted permission for the zero-carbon homes, in addition to 393 already under construction. Further plans for 3,500 more homes have yet to be approved. Plans for the development, on the north western side of the town, include a new school, road network, and 250 care apartments for the elderly. Planning committee vice chairman Colin Clarke described the project, which includes roof solar panels on all properties, as "unique". "It's by far the largest project of its type anywhere in the UK," he said. "It's very aspirational...the idea is to make sure the whole estate looks after itself." Mr Clarke said the locations of green spaces, football pitches, a "desperately needed" burial ground, and the realignment of the A4095 still needed to be discussed in detail. Work on an initial batch of 393 homes began last April and is expected to be completed within four-and-a-half years. Of those, 91 are set to be built by the end of 2015, with the first residents expected to move on-site in the late summer. The council said it hopes to complete all phases of the development by 2031. Ten times more prescriptions of common sleep medication melatonin have also been written for children and adults under 55 over the same period. Poor sleep in children has been linked to a greater risk of obesity, lower immunity, and mental health issues. It is also linked to lack of emotional control and poor school performance. Are you getting enough sleep? How to handle older children's sleep problems Sleep deprivation 'costs UK £40bn a year' Many aspects of how we live today are thought to interfere with children's sleep: Ellie Keady, 13, recently spent the night under observation at Sheffield Children's Hospital's sleep service, which has seen a tenfold increase in referrals over the past decade. Ellie goes to bed at 2100, but usually lies awake until at least 0230. "Sometimes I'll go to school and I'll have had only two and a half hours' sleep," she says. Sleep deprivation has affected her education. She is often off sick due to exhaustion and viral infections. "If you sneeze in her room, Ellie will catch the flu," says her mother, Joanne. Ellie has suffered sleep problems since she broke her foot in 2011. She was unable to walk for months and started to put on weight. She recently lost 2st 7lb (16kg) in six months on a strict diet and exercise regime, but has found dieting a challenge. Research suggests a strong link between sleep deprivation in teenagers and weight gain. Poor sleep is thought to upset the balance of the hormones that tell our brains we are full or hungry, making it harder to control appetite. When tired, we are more likely to crave foods high in sugar and fat. When a nurse at Sheffield Children's Hospital explained this link to Ellie, it made sense. "If I've had a bad night, the diet is hard to stick to," Ellie says. "I don't want chicken, I don't want vegetables, I just want a packet of crisps. "I never knew that was from being tired." Overnight investigation showed no medical explanation for Ellie's sleep problem. The staff suspect she may just need a better sleep routine: she has a smartphone, two tablets and a television in her bedroom, and uses them just before bed. Staying off her devices an hour before bedtime might help both her sleep and her weight loss. The Children's Sleep Charity has found 92% of the families using their specialist clinics had solved their child's sleep problems within six months by changing their bedtime routine. The charity says sleep problems are costing the NHS unnecessary millions in needless GP and paediatrician appointments and prescriptions. "We know there's a cost burden to the NHS here and now from childhood sleep difficulties," says Dr Catherine Hill, associate professor at the University of Southampton and consultant at Southampton Children's Hospital. "If we continue to ignore emerging research evidence about the importance of sleep to health, we're potentially storing up problems for the NHS in future. "We desperately need to get children's sleep on the public health agenda. "We've done it with nutrition: people are starting to understand the perils of sugar, the dangers of childhood obesity. "We now need to wake up to the importance of sleep." Figures show the number of prescriptions in England for melatonin rose to nearly 600,000 in 2015. Melatonin is licensed as a treatment only for people over 55, but it is commonly prescribed to younger people, even though it has not officially been licensed for that purpose. The robbery took place at Ladbrokes Bookmakers in the Carmondean area of Livingston on Saturday 13 December 2014 at about 19:20. The man is white, with a Scottish accent, about 5ft 8in, and of medium build. He was wearing light grey jogging bottoms, gloves and black trainers. He was also wearing a light blue Gio Goi brand puffa-style hooded jacket. Det Con Stevie McCormick, of Police Scotland, said: "This robbery has been a terrifying experience for the staff and customers inside the shop and our officers have been making extensive inquiries. "We would urge anyone who may recognise the man pictured or is able to provide any information that might help our investigation to get in touch immediately." The flanker has undergone surgery after being injured during a Warriors 'A' match against Edinburgh last month. Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: "We all feel for Tyrone, who has had some bad luck with injuries during the past two seasons. "He had started the season in good form and had been working hard in training." Holmes will now miss an important run of games in Glasgow's season, starting at home to Pro12 rivals Leinster this weekend. The Warriors then have a Champions Cup double-header against Scarlets, back-to-back meetings with Edinburgh in the Pro12, before their European pool concludes with matches against Racing 92 either side of a trip to Northampton. "We're disappointed to lose Tyrone for the next few months, however we wish him all the best with his rehab," Townsend added. The Polish-born 31-year-old helped his country win the 2014 World Cup, and scored 48 goals in a 129-cap career. An appearance off the bench in the 3-0 win over Slovakia at Euro 2016 was Podolski's final outing for Germany. The ex-FC Koln, Bayern Munich and Arsenal player, now at Galatasaray, told German fans, "It was amazing, it was great, and it was an honour." Manufacturing output was down 0.5% compared with the same month in 2014, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. But the overall index of production (IoP), which also includes mining and quarrying and utilities rose 0.8% over the same period. The IoP accounts for about 15% of the UK economy. It means that production is still 9.3% below its pre-downturn peak, achieved in the first quarter of 2008, while manufacturing is 5.2% below its peak. If the British economy was driven by manufacturing, we could well be in seriously dire economic straits, figures released today show. So perhaps we should be profoundly grateful that the coalition government elected in 2010 failed so miserably in its ambition to rebalance the UK towards the makers and away from services. Read more from Robert The main drags on the manufacturing figures were basic metals and metal products, transport equipment and "other manufacturing and repair". Trade in goods increased the deficit in the latest trade figures, which were also released on Wednesday. The trade deficit shows how much more the country is importing than it is exporting. The overall deficit in the trade in goods and services was estimated to be £3.4bn in July, up £2.6bn from June. That widening was attributed to trade in goods, in which the deficit was £11.1bn, compared with £8.5bn in June. The Friends of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs will receive the money from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Part of it will be spent improving the area around the Tom Weir statue at Balmaha which was unveiled last year. The Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is also contributing to the project. The friends charity - an independent conservation and heritage group - said there were plans for "storyboards" at the Tom Weir site, along with an educational booklet and a special celebration in June 2016 involving local schoolchildren and volunteers. Some of the information boards will introduce visitors to Rhona's Mountain Garden - named after Tom's widow Rhona - which is being built on the site. The statue of Tom Weir was unveiled in December 2014, marking 100 years since the broadcaster's birth. Friends Chairman James Fraser said: "We are delighted to receive this latest grant award from the Heritage Lottery Fund, along with some top-up funding from the National Park Authority, as it means we will be able to share Tom's love of the wonders of Loch Lomond more widely. "We intend to build on the resounding success of his statue and the associated greatly improved picnic area that is on target to host 80,000 visitors this year." The chief executive of the national park, Gordon Watson, said the charity had worked hard to create a "fitting tribute" to Tom Weir. "We have been pleased to support their efforts with grant contributions towards the statue itself and also the storyboards which will bring to life Tom's story and the rich heritage of Loch Lomond," he added. Cases involving 21 people - among them actors Nigel Havers and Rhys Ifans, and actress Kym Marsh - were settled at London's High Court. The settlements all involve undisclosed damages, costs and an apology. Further phone-hacking claims against MGN are due to be heard in court next year if agreements are not reached. MGN publishes the Daily Mirror, the Sunday Mirror and the People. David Sherborne, representing Mr Havers, whose acting credits include Chariots of Fire and Coronation Street, said his client had been targeted by phone hacking between 2000 and 2004. The actor had been subjected to intense intrusion when he was nursing his late wife through the final stages of cancer, Mr Sherborne said. Mr Ifans, best known for his role in the film Notting Hill, lost a number of close friends as a result of the distrust created by newspaper stories published as a result of hacking, the hearing heard. Ms McCall's case involved a March 2007 article named Davina's Stalker Terror, which MGN admitted had been published after her voicemails had been intercepted. Other settlements involved businesswoman and socialite Caroline Stanbury, PR consultant Alison Griffin, publicist Clair Dobbs, and film-maker Jim Threapleton - the ex-husband of actress Kate Winslet. The list also included actress and Loose Women panellist Lisa Maxwell, actress and singer Suzanne Shaw, actresses Caroline Chikezie, Tina Hobley, Holly Davidson, Kate Ford, Samia Ghadie and Lucy-Jo Hudson and actors Ben Freeman, Alan Halsall, Christopher Parker and George Calil. Christopher Wenn, from Charles Russell Speechly, which represented a number of the claimants, said he was "delighted" MGN had also apologised for the hacking, as well as paying damages. Last year, damages totalling nearly £1.25m were awarded to eight people whose phones had been hacked by Mirror Group journalists writing celebrity stories. Actress Sadie Frost was awarded £260,000 and ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne £188,250, while Soap stars Shane Richie, Shobna Gulati and Lucy Benjamin also received payouts. Following the verdict, MGN announced it had set aside an extra £16m to deal with further claims - in addition to the £12m provided in 2014. A new national programme set up by England Athletics, RunTogether aims to motivate people to improve their physical and mental health by running with others. By simply logging on to the website, you'll have access to local running groups which offer fun, organised jogs and runs with other people, with qualified group leaders. The website also includes access to marked running routes specific to your area, searchable using your postcode. Find out about how to get into running with our special guide. Trying to start running can be a daunting task, as Sam Mollaghan - the face of the This Girl Can Run campaign, and a qualified Run Leader - understands. "When I started running a couple of years ago, I was very self-conscious about how others would perceive me," she said. "So I empathise with how many runners feel anxious when running alone. "Now I'm a Run Leader, I'm able to help others enjoy the benefits that regular running in a group has to offer - it's such a great way to improve fitness and socialise at the same time. "I'm also more confident when I run, as I know I'm doing something that benefits my health and mindset. I've made some great friends in running groups and would encourage as many people to join their local group." Runners are also being encouraged to take photos and tag which friends and celebrities they would like to run with, using #RunTogether. Matt Birkett, head of running participation at England Athletics, said: "We know that running with others is more effective in changing behaviour, making people more likely to sustain a running habit, and we know how much of an impact running has on improving emotional health and well-being. "We want to get one million more people into regular athletics and running by 2021, and ensure that everyone in England has access to a local RunTogether group across the country." Town have failed to finish above eighth place in the Championship since Evans bought the club in 2007. "Marcus is the same as me. He wants to aim as high as we can," McCarthy, in charge of his first full season at Ipswich, told BBC Radio Suffolk. "But, like me, he is realistic about it as well." Evans, who owns 87.5% of Ipswich's shares, has pumped considerable sums into the Championship side, with the most recent accounts showing That financial commitment has been with the aim of taking Town to the Premier League, but it is a feat that, so far, four different managers have yet to achieve. McCarthy, who steered Ipswich away from relegation following his appointment last November, has said he believes his side are But he must do it against the back drop of new which aim to see clubs break even over a three-year period. "It's easy me saying 'we'll aim for the top six'," he said. "Of course we're aiming for the top six, but there's a bit of graft to do that. "We played at our absolute maximum from November last season and we know those points would have got us in the top six. Well, we've got to do it again." Ten years ago there was terrible post-election ethnic violence in the country, which nobody here wants to see repeated. But with opinion polls predicting a very close race between incumbent president Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga, there are fears there could be trouble ahead. What happens to Kenya is less about who wins the elections and more about how those who lose take their defeat. The success of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) computerised voting system is key to the process being considered free and fair. If it fails - as it did in 2013 - the votes will be counted manually, and in a country where vote-rigging has been alleged in the past, the loser will no doubt challenge the result. In 2013, Raila Odinga turned to the courts claiming electoral fraud, and lost. This time - his fourth and probably last attempt to become president - he may turn to the streets if he considers the election to have been stolen. In theory, the voting system is a good one: But if the computer system goes down, verifying the voters' roll will be a lot harder, and may raise suspicions. More on Kenya's elections: The murder of a key figure a week before the poll - the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) head of technology - has really put the country on edge. Chris Msando was in charge of the electronic system, and was the man who appeared on TV to reassure the public it would work - and couldn't be hacked. When his tortured, strangled body was found dumped in a forest, it raised suspicions that somebody was planning to interfere with the election. The IEBC insists the system will still work and successfully carried out a public "dry run" to prove it. But a quarter of polling stations are apparently outside cellular data range. On top of that, on Friday armed men raided a Nairobi building where the opposition is running its own parallel count and took computers. Later two foreign data analysts working for the opposition were expelled from Kenya. More than 180,000 agents from various organs of state security are also believed to have been deployed for the election. That could be considered a prudent security measure - or raise fears of polling station intimidation. The worst-case scenario is an extremely close result, a failed electronic voting system, and a candidate who is not prepared to concede defeat. If nobody wins more than 50% of the vote, then it will go to a second round. But without a popular third candidate, that seems unlikely. It's being perceived as a two-horse race. Whatever happens, this will be the last battle of the dynasties: Uhuru Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's first president, against Raila Odinga, the son of its first vice-president and a man who also spent much of his political career in opposition. Mr Kenyatta, the 55-year-old incumbent, wants a second and final term in office for his Jubilee Party after narrowly winning the last election in 2013, despite having International Criminal Court (ICC) charges of inciting violence hanging over him. Mr Kenyatta, an ethnic Kikuyu, and his former rival William Ruto, a Kalenjin, were accused of inciting violence between the two communities. The charges related to the 2007 post-election violence, which killed around 1,200 people and drove hundreds of thousands from their homes. The ICC case recently collapsed due to lack of evidence and after key witnesses died or disappeared. But the old ethnic wounds which were reopened have still not completely healed. Many people will vote along "tribalism or party" lines, according to a respected Kenyan journalist. That's despite the wealth of issues people could draw upon to make their choice, including: People in Mathare slum - one of the biggest in Nairobi - are certainly expecting trouble. Activists and community leaders have been holding peace marches and making speeches urging restraint, respect, and unity. Political leaders have been using aggressive rhetoric which has been getting through to their supporters. Rumour and counter-rumour have been circulating in the slums and social media geeks have been distributing alarming campaign ads and fake news. If Raila Odinga loses, some say there will be violence in opposition areas - and the police have been kitted out with new deliveries of riot gear. There could be violent clashes in other parts of the country where there have been tensions before. But the key alliance between Kikuyu and Kalenjin - between Mr Kenyatta and his deputy - will mean it's unlikely the trouble could reach the level it did 10 years ago. Strange things always happen before Kenyan elections - and this year is no exception. There is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen, but most Kenyans hope the country can get through this week peacefully and move on. And the market for British strawberries is growing. But if rules on who can come and work in the UK change following the vote to leave the European Union, who is going to pick them? To pick a ripe strawberry, you don't just yank it. There's a special knack: a slight flick of the wrist to snap off the stem. The pickers at Langdon Manor Farm in Kent are astonishingly quick at it. Their hands dart out, locating the ripe berries, and transfer them to a plastic crate, without their breaking step as they move along the rows of plants. Almost all of the 200 pickers are from Eastern Europe, with a right to work in any EU country. Most will return home in the autumn, but some, like Roxana Bertolon from Romania, have made the UK their home. She has been here for six years. "I like it here," she says simply. "So I stayed." She now supervises a team of pickers. If the UK decides to alter its policy towards foreign workers, farms such as this one could face quite an upheaval. But Roxana isn't too worried. "Maybe the rules will change," she shrugs. "I don't care." Members of her picking team are primarily concerned about the immediate fall in the value of the pound, which means they'll have less money to send home. But changes to the rules on seasonal and migrant labour are a worry for their employer, farmer Alastair Brooks. "I'm hoping sense prevails," he says. "Because they're seasonal migrant workers, so they come, work and go home, I'm hoping a scheme will be put in place that will allow that to continue, without which we could have a very unsure future." The demand for soft fruit, such as strawberries, has grown rapidly in recent years and UK farmers have invested to step up production. But without workers willing to live at the farm and put in long hours over the summer months, it's going to be hard to keep that up. When Roxana first came to work here aged 22, all the strawberries were grown on the ground. The work was back-breaking and slow. Since then, with the help of EU funding, Alastair Brooks has invested in an irrigated table-top system and polytunnels to combat the unreliable British weather. The work is easier. And the new National Living Wage means workers are guaranteed a higher basic income. But work still starts at 05:30, six days a week. They break for lunch at 11:00 and continue picking until around 13:00. After that there's maintenance work, such as fixing irrigation systems and tidying up plants, that needs to be done. The rest of the team packs the day's harvest into plastic containers, for labelling and shipping, to hit supermarket shelves by the next morning. So far, unemployed people in the UK have proven reluctant to take on these jobs. "The English don't like to work like us," says Roxana. "They will never come to work on a farm. "If they come, they want to be someone high [up], to be a supervisor or a manager, but not to pick." Forklift truck team leader Andis Ivkins agrees. "I don't believe they'll send us home," he says. "I don't believe the English people will come and pick fruit." He is from Latvia and his wife is from Lithuania. His face lights up as he explains they are about to have their first baby. Their plan is to stay in the UK for the next few years, and he doesn't see any need to change that plan, because he thinks people like him will still be needed on the farm. But he's not certain the seasonal workers, who come and go each year, will keep coming. If they're told to fill in extra paperwork and apply for visas, or are restricted by quotas, they may end up going to other European countries instead: perhaps Spain, the Netherlands or France. Especially if the pound remains weak. Some recruitment agencies have already said interest is lower than usual following the referendum. "Why would you come here if the message is you're not welcome?" says Laurence Olins, chairman of the industry association, British Summer Fruits. "Europe is a big place. They don't have to come here. We're competing in a global market for labour. It's a very mobile resource." Mr Olins says the litmus test will be in October and November this year, when farmers start recruiting for next year's season. But he thinks there's going to be a "fight for labour". Langdon Manor Farm faces other uncertainties, too. Alastair expects his input costs to rise. The flourishing plants at Langdon Manor started life in Dutch greenhouses and Spanish nurseries. The plastic for the polytunnels and the coir matting are also imported via the EU. With a weaker pound, all of those will be more expensive. He expects to lose the financial support he's been getting from the EU, while rival European producers will continue to receive it. Recently, he has had EU funding to explore the use of robotics on the farm. It is focusing initially on spraying, stacking crates and transporting the fruit from the field to the pack house. Robots are not very good at actually picking fruit, he says. "If there's a leaf in the way, the robots can't see it. They go past, whereas we, as humans, have the intelligence to move the leaf." So he's not planning on mechanising the harvesting. Not yet, anyway. But in the long run, he's not ruling it out. Shane Richards and Carl Riddiough, both 30, were caught as part of an investigation into distraction burglaries in North Yorkshire in 2016. Police were able to link the men's DNA to the caps found in a car. Richards and Riddiough, from Doncaster, admitted burglary at Teesside Crown Court and were each jailed for four and a half years. Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire Burglary victims, many who were elderly, reported two men knocking on their door claiming their ball had been kicked into the back garden. When the homeowners took one of them to get the ball, the other would search the house and steal property. The men were said to have been wearing flat caps and a witness who saw two men in a car contacted police. The car was later found with the two caps inside both containing Richards and Riddiough's DNA. Glass experts also analysed the caps and found samples of glass from one of the burglary scenes in both of them. The Queen Victoria Hospital (QVH) has an international reputation, largely due to pioneering burns surgery which took place there during World War Two. But as a small specialist hospital it does not meet the new National Burns Care Standards published in 2013. As a result, the trust is considering an arrangement with a major trauma unit being built in Brighton, it revealed. The new trauma centre at the Royal Sussex County Hospital is expected to be ready for use by 2020. In order to meet the new standards, the QVH is considering admitting adult burns patients to dedicated QVH beds there. The trust said the change would mean patients could access a wide range of other specialist staff and facilities. It said experts have found that burns patients admitted as an emergency get the best outcomes this way. Similarly, children with severe burns could be admitted to QVH beds within the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital, it added. QVH at East Grinstead would continue to play the central role in burns care for the region and its other specialist services would not be affected, it said. Any proposals developed are likely to be up for public consultation before any final decision, it added. The Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust has not responded to a request for comment. The former Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Dundee United and Celtic midfielder featured for the last time in a 4-0 home hammering by Ross County. "We wanted to go out with a winning performance for him after the great career he has had," McInnes said. "It really was a disappointment; that's not how we wanted it to play out." McInnes gave a debut to Australian goalkeeper Aaron Lennox and also started defender Scott McKenna, 19, and 18-year-old striker Scott Wright, while 17-year-old defender Daniel Harvie and forward Joe Nuttall, 19, featured off the bench. "It's not often I have the chance and the luxury of playing a lot of youngsters," he noted. "Losing 4-0 at home is unlike us and the attitude of the players up until today has been terrific, so we won't get caught up too much in what happened. "But I know what needs to be done next season. I would like to get more options in forward areas, I would like another goalkeeper and another defender - and maybe one or two others. "I feel we need to bring in enough good players to help the group of players I have." Robson, who also played for Middlesbrough, Vancouver Whitecaps and Sheffield United, intends to go into coaching and management after a career featuring more than 650 games, 17 caps for Scotland, a league title with Celtic and League Cup winners medals with the Glasgow side and Aberdeen. "He has been a great player to have worked with even if his influence hasn't been so great for the team in the last couple of years," added McInnes, who played alongside Robson at Tannadice. "He has always given 100% effort to every aspect of his game. He is a great professional and his whole approach and length of career is something youngsters can learn from." County boss Jim McIntyre hailed a "fabulous" final-day display from his side, rounding off "the most successful season in the club's history" in style. Brian Graham's penalty, Alex Schalk's spectacular scissor-kick, Liam Boyce's 20th goal of the season and a long-range Martin Woods effort brought County only a second win in their final nine league games since winning the League Cup final against Hibernian. "It was a fantastic performance," said McIntyre. "The boys were right at it from the word go and showed real intent. "I thought we showed real maturity about our play. Media playback is not supported on this device "We set the boys a target of top-six at the start of the season and they achieved that. "We were looking for a good cup run and we managed to win it. "It has been the most successful season in this club's history and the players deserve all the credit. "They put in the performances week in, week out, and react to poor results as well."

The Vulcan to the Sky Trust which owns the aircraft said the Cold War bomber faced "an uncertain future". Employee numbers will be reduced from 22 to eight full-time workers in an attempt to reduce monthly costs by 75%. The trust said it hopes to build a new visitors' centre at Doncaster Sheffield Robin Hood Airport by the end of 2017. More on this and other South Yorkshire stories Dr Robert Pleming, the trust's chief executive, said cutting staff numbers was "a bitter decision" but that putting the aircraft into storage meant a loss of income from tours and other events. "This creates a funding challenge because the revenue-earning businesses that are vital for her care must be temporarily suspended," said Dr Pleming. "We have had to make some very tough decisions." Vulcan bombers carried Britain's nuclear deterrent throughout the 1960s. They were retired from RAF service in 1993. The trust's XH558 bomber was the last airworthy example in the world, until it was grounded in October 2015 after engineering backers, including Rolls Royce, withdrew support.

Almost two thirds of staff working at a Doncaster aviation charity are to lose their jobs after its historic Vulcan aircraft is put in storage.

She was known for films including 1994's Priest, 1997's Face and 1999's Ravenous, all starring Trainspotting actor Robert Carlyle. Carlyle, writing on Twitter, said: "Such a sad day today. RIP Antonia Bird. Farewell my beautiful friend." A statement from her partner said Bird, who had the rare anaplastic thyroid cancer, died peacefully in her sleep. She had had an operation to remove a large tumour in April, the statement added. "Despite a determined fight, she had come to terms with the inevitable in the last few weeks and died peacefully in her sleep," it said. Bird's TV credits included Spooks, Cracker and, more recently, BBC One's The Village, starring John Simm. She began her career as a theatre director at London's Royal Court before making episodes of TV programmes including EastEnders and Casualty in the mid-1980s. She won best single drama TV Baftas for 1993's Safe - a story about homeless teenagers written for BBC Two's Screenplay series - and Care, broadcast in 2000, which dealt with sexual abuse in a children's home. She also won a Bafta children's award for the 2009 BBC documentary Off By Heart, about a national poetry competition for schoolchildren. Other awards included best film at the Berlin International Film Festival and the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival - both for Priest. The film, written by Cracker and The Streets creator, Jimmy McGovern, tells the tale of a Catholic priest's crisis of faith. It received a cinematic release ahead of its transmission on TV as part of the BBC's Screen Two series. Her 1995 Hollywood film Mad Love starred Drew Barrymore and Chris O'Donnell as a teenage couple on the run. Bird's friend, writer Irvine Welsh, paid tribute on Twitter to "top Bird" who he said made "amazing films". Her production company 4Way Pictures was formed with Welsh, Carlyle and film-maker Mark Cousins. In a 1999 interview with the Guardian, Bird said she enjoyed working with British actors because they "arrive on the set and they have an idea of what they want to do in the scene". "They've thought about it, they come and offer you something as a director," she added. "And, generally, to get a good performance out of an actor you go with that offer, because that's going to be truthful." She said that, by contrast, American actors "arrive on set a blank book". "Now that's fine, that's their tradition, but as a British director it's absolutely terrifying," she said. John Simm said that 1994's Priest had had a "profound" affect on him as a young actor. He added: "She was a passionate, attentive and incredibly trusting director. "Her brilliant work on The Village is a beautiful example of her talent and it's a tragedy that it turned out to be her last. "Antonia was a unique and wonderful talent and a truly lovely person - she will be greatly missed." Peter Moffatt, writer of The Village, said he was "completely devastated" by Bird's death. He said: "Film-making is a collaborative process and it doesn't work if the writer and director don't trust each other. I trusted Antonia completely." The BBC's drama commissioning controller Ben Stephenson said: "Starting at EastEnders, Antonia worked her way up to become one of the best directors in the country working across television and film, including the remarkable Priest. "She has left us far too soon. She remains an inspiration to us all and her work's indelible impact on British culture is with us for ever." Councillors announced the plans after threats to cut eight library services in the district in February. Libraries will receive £475,000 funding over two years, but will transition to a self-service system to save money. Other services to receive money include bus routes, children's centres and the Newbury Corn Exchange. West Berkshire Council said nearly half the comments received about the funding were about keeping libraries open. Council leader Roger Croft said he was "pleased" the district could offer a "lifeline" to public services, but funding will only be provided for two years. He added: "We need to be clear however that this money is a lifeline which will enable these services to move to a more sustainable funding model. In particular, it will allow us to work with partners, community groups and parishes to secure these services in the long term." Hungerford-based author Robert Harris said he was "delighted" by the announcement but added libraries may need to become "more community run" to ensure they remain open. He added: "Ours can't be the generation to let libraries go, and I would be ashamed to be part of that generation." The plans for funding will be confirmed at a council meeting on 24 March. Kirstin MacRuary, 39, from Dundonald, South Ayrshire, admitted child sex offences at her home between October 2013 and January 2014. The boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were aged 14 when she invited them to her home to use the internet, watch films and drink alcohol. At Ayr Sheriff Court, MacRuary was also placed on the sex offenders' register for 10 years. Jailing her, Sheriff John Montgomery told MacRuary there was no alternative to a custodial sentence. The sheriff said: "You pleaded guilty to two charges of having sexual intercourse with boys between the age of 13 and 16-years-old - both were 14 at the time. "I've read the social work report - it's an astonishing report in many ways because you don't express any remorse. "There is, in my view, no alternative to a custodial sentence." The court heard that MacRuary targeted her first victim between October and November 2013 as he sat on a sofa at her home. She invited him upstairs and showed him contraception after which she had sex with the boy, who later said it made him feel "weird". Between December 2013 and January 2014 she targeted the second boy who was in her house watching a film. MacRuary suggested he go upstairs for a sleep, followed him up to the spare bedroom, took his clothes off, and had sex with him. The boy then became worried and pushed MacRuary off before fleeing her home. Police were informed and she was arrested and charged for having sex with children. Officers examining her laptop found a chat with teenage boys in which she admitted she missed one victim's "cute little face". It also emerged that MacRuary regularly posted about Irish pop duo Jedward on a social media site. In one post, she said: "I miss my Jeds, need some Jedcest now." It means Eddie Jones' side, who are unbeaten in 13 games in 2016, are set to play 10 times next year. England will defend their Six Nations title in February and March, before a two-Test series in Argentina in June, which coincides with the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand. An England XV side will take on the Barbarians on 28 May. Argentina and Australia, both beaten by England in November, will face Jones' side on 11 November and 18 November respectively. Samoa's fixture against England at Twickenham on 25 November will be followed by England Women's final game of a three-match series against Canada. "These block of matches are an important step in our preparations for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan and we look forward to playing in the 2017 series against three tough opponents in Argentina, Australia and Samoa," said Jones. Organisers said there would be 50,266 performances of 3,269 shows in 294 venues over three weeks in August. It remains the largest arts festival in the world despite a small fall in the number of shows - down 1.3% from 3,314 last year. Its new chief executive Shona McCarthy promised "unparalleled" breadth and diversity of talent. She said the Fringe is "still at its core an open access festival which welcomes anyone with a story to tell". "The Fringe simply wouldn't happen without all the performers and artists who come and take the risk and put their work on show for the benefit for all of us," she added. The festival will be made up of: Some of the famous names in the comedy line-up include Rory Bremner, Omid Djalili, David O'Doherty and Shappi Khorsandi. Actor Richard Wilson will revive one of the UK's best-loved TV characters, One Foot in the Grave's cantankerous protagonist Victor Meldrew, for a one-man show. In the music category, Colin Hay, former lead singer of Men at Work, will bring a group of international musicians together for his show while Fringe favourite Camille O'Sullivan will debut a new show featuring the music of Radiohead, Nick Cave and David Bowie. The Queen's Hall will host concerts from big names in folk and traditional music including Capercaillie, The Peatbog Faeries and King Creosote. Various theatrical performances will celebrate William Shakespeare's legacy as they mark the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death. Both the UK poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy and Scotland's former makar (national poet) Liz Lochhead are bringing separate shows to the Fringe in the spoken-word section. There will also be 643 free events on offer across the programme. The Scottish Government is supporting a "Made in Scotland" showcase, providing a platform for 18 of the country's best performers and companies. Councillor Richard Lewis, who is in charge of the capital's festivals and events, stressed the importance of the Fringe to locals and businesses alike. "In terms of finances, the Fringe festival alone brings in £142m to the city. "In terms of the respondents to our recent survey a full 72% of Edinburgh citizens thought it contributed positively to their quality of life." Brookes, originally in the squad before having to undergo surgery in December, proved his fitness in Friday's Premiership match against Wasps. He will replace Henry Thomas, who had been an injury replacement for Brookes. The 20-stone tight-head has won 15 caps and could start in Saturday's Calcutta Cup match against Scotland. England head coach Eddie Jones is expected to announce his matchday squad on Thursday. Backs: Mike Brown (Harlequins), Alex Goode (Saracens), Chris Ashton (Saracens), Jack Nowell (Exeter), Anthony Watson (Bath), Marland Yarde (Harlequins), Elliot Daly (Wasps), Ollie Devoto (Bath; injury replacement for Manu Tuilagi, Leicester), Jonathan Joseph (Bath), Sam Hill (Exeter; injury replacement for Henry Slade, Exeter) Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath), Danny Care (Harlequins), Ben Youngs (Leicester) Forwards: Dan Cole (Leicester), Paul Hill (Northampton), Matt Mullan (Wasps), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Kieran Brookes (Northampton), Mako Vunipola (Saracens), Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter), Jamie George (Saracens), Dylan Hartley, Maro Itoje (Saracens), George Kruis (Saracens), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton), Josh Beaumont (Sale), Jack Clifford (Harlequins), James Haskell (Wasps), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Matt Kvesic (Gloucester; injury replacement for Dave Ewers, Exeter), Billy Vunipola (Saracens) These are some the images and tweets she has sent back as she travelled into the city - it was a "horrifying" sight, she said. The BBC team joined dozens of fire engines and military vehicles heading towards Tianjin, about 120km (75 miles) from the capital, Beijing, in the early hours of the morning. This sheet of metal was twisted and burned, and thrown into the street by the force of the blast. Many rolled back the years to remember her days at the city's world-famous Cavern Club during the Swinging Sixties. Pat Humphreys knew her from both the Iron Door Club and The Cavern, where the singer worked in the cloakroom before finding fame. "She was a good laugh," the 70-year-old from Widnes said. "She would tell us to move on if we were in the way. "You would go in to The Cavern with bouffant hair and come out dripping with sweat." She added: "Cilla was so down to earth." Terence O'Hara, 72, a former Beatles roadie, refurbished Cilla's home in Denham, Buckinghamshire. Years later, while passing the house, he spotted her polishing the brass fittings which he had reglazed. "She was down to earth," he said. "We had a laugh about the brass." He said she attended his 21st birthday party at his home in Wellington Road, Liverpool. He also used to meet Cilla for dinner after she performed at the Palladium in London. Church bells pealed in the run-up to the service as many people clutched single red roses or white lilies - Cilla's favourite bloom. There were cheers as a bus passed with Gary Barlow, Tom Jones, Lorraine Chase and Bob Carolgees among the celebrities on board. Housewife Gillian Melling, 53, from Wigan, has been a Cilla fan since she was four years old and first saw her sing in Blackpool. "I loved watching her on the telly," she said. "I would have travelled to London for the funeral." Retired builder Jack Kershaw, 70, from Warrington, who rebuilt Cilla's old school in Bostock Street, said she was a "very different" sort of singer. "Cilla had a very strong personality and could connect with people," he said. His wife Glenys, 68, said: "Everyone could relate to her. She was a proper home-loving person." Fardowsa Hassan, 13, was found by police in the early hours of Friday. Her friends Abir Salah, 16, and Ahlam Salah, 15, have now also been traced by officers. The Salah sisters were found at a separate address in Haringey to the one where Fardowsa was discovered. More on this story and other news from London Fardowsa's mother had said she thought her daughter could have been kidnapped and taken abroad. Speculative comparisons were made with four London schoolgirls who travelled to Syria earlier this year. But Scotland Yard advised that none of the girls were believed to have left the London area. The heirlooms have been on long-term loan at Churchill's country home, Grade-I listed Chartwell, near Sevenoaks in Kent. Just over half of the collection there is currently owned by the trust, which was given the property in 1946. Now, his great-grandson Randolph Churchill has offered the National Trust the chance to buy more items. With views across the Weald of Kent, Chartwell was an escape for Churchill from the pressures of political life. It is the only place where the wartime prime minister's belongings can be seen in their original domestic setting. The trust said the appeal, launched on the 50th anniversary of Chartwell opening to the public, was one of the "biggest we have ever made to safeguard a collection of this kind". The objects include Churchill's library of inscribed books, medallions, gifts and awards, including his Nobel Prize for literature, and personal mementoes such as a wooden box in which he stored scripts for his rousing speeches. The Churchill's Chartwell appeal also aims to permanently secure a House of Commons green leather book signed by almost every member of the Commons and presented to Churchill on his 80th birthday in 1954. Katherine Barnett, house and collections manager at Chartwell, said: "It is crucial that we do all we can to ensure these heirlooms stay here where he hoped they would remain." Other items include a tiny silver paint box, a pair of hairbrushes made from the deck of the World War Two ship HMS Exeter and a carved armchair given to Churchill when he gained the freedom of Brighton in 1947. Dame Helen Ghosh, director-general of the National Trust, said it was one of the "biggest appeals we have ever made to safeguard a collection of this kind and ensure that we can continue to tell Churchill's story for the next 50 years and beyond". It hopes to raise the money by January. Ben was 21 months old when he went missing while on a family holiday on the Greek island of Kos in 1991. His mother Kerry has always maintained her son is alive and was probably abducted and has vowed to find him. South Yorkshire Police said it would use the funding to "commit further resources to the investigation". In a statement, South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Alan Billings said the funds would "continue to support the Greek authorities in the search" for the missing toddler. "Ben's mum, Kerry, has spent more than 23 years searching for her son," he said. He added: "I fully support South Yorkshire Police in their ongoing pursuit of the facts. They have worked hard in facilitating the Greek investigation into Ben's disappearance but there is still more work to do." Det Supt Matt Fenwick said the force was working to "establish the right investigation team, with a view to the inquiry commencing in April". He said: "[Ben's] family has endured untold pain and anguish in the years that followed and have never given up in trying to find him. "South Yorkshire Police has provided support to the Greek authorities wherever requested in assisting with the investigation. "We hope that by continuing to work with them, we can assist in providing the answers Ben's family so desperately want." A Home Office spokesperson said it was "committed in its support for the search". Ben vanished on 24 July 1991, after travelling to Kos with his mother and grandparents who were renovating a farmhouse in the village of Iraklise. Two years ago a DNA test was carried out on a man in Cyprus in an attempt to establish if he could be the toddler, but proved negative. In 2012, a police operation focused on a mound of earth and rubble close to where Ben was last seen, but no trace of him was found. Louise Khan, who is 46 and originally from Lochgelly in Fife, was arrested after the remains of Alyn Pennycook were found on their farm. Mr Pennycook, also a Scot, is thought to have died from cancer last year. Officers believe he died in September or October but Ms Khan failed to report his death to the authorities in Portugal or Scotland. She was arrested and held in custody "for the presumed practice of at least one crime of corpse desecration" following the discovery of the body on 9 February. She has since been released on the condition she reports to a local police station and is due to stand trial on 27 February in Celorico da Beira. Ms Khan could face up to two years in prison if convicted. She had lived at the property in Linhares, near the city of Guarda, for more than three years. She is currently being assisted by UK government officials. A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokeswoman said: "We remain in contact with the Portuguese police following the arrest and subsequent conditional release of a British woman in Guarda." Neighbours of the couple reportedly raised the alarm with police after growing suspicious when Mr Pennycook was not spotted at the property for several months. Police located the body using ground penetrating radar on land next to Ms Khan's home. An autopsy was said to have shown no signs of violence. Ms Khan was brought before a judge at a court in Guarda last week for a summary hearing where a lawyer asked for more time to prepare the case. A spokesman for the Policia Judiciaria in Guarda said he could not comment about the case, but confirmed: "A 46-year-old woman has been arrested for the presumed practice of, at least, one crime of corpse desecration. "The body is believed to be that of a 59-year-old Scotsman, found and exhumed by members of the PJ police and the Scientific Laboratory Police." On Monday Findus withdrew from retailers its beef lasagne in 320g, 360g and 500g sizes as a precaution. Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said the findings were "completely unacceptable", but Findus said it did not believe it was a food safety issue. The FSA said companies would now be required to test their beef products. "In order to get to the bottom of this, we're going to be requiring every company to test every product line," Catherine Brown, the FSA's chief executive, told the BBC. "If we find any other cases, we will pursue our investigations vigorously until we find out what's happened and put a stop to it." Ms Brown said it was "highly likely" that criminal activity was to blame for horsemeat being found in some meals. The FSA said Findus had tested 18 of its beef lasagne products and found 11 meals containing between 60% and 100% horsemeat. People have been warned not to eat the products, which were made for Findus by French food supplier Comigel. The FSA said: "We have no evidence to suggest that this is a food safety risk. However, the FSA has ordered Findus to test the lasagne for the veterinary drug phenylbutazone, or 'bute'. "Animals treated with phenylbutazone are not allowed to enter the food chain as [the drug] may pose a risk to human health. "The Findus beef lasagne was distributed to the main UK supermarkets and smaller convenience stores. Findus has already begun a full recall of these products. "People who have bought any Findus beef lasagne products are advised not to eat them and return them to the shop they bought them from." Mr Paterson said the presence of unauthorised ingredients "cannot be tolerated". "The responsibility for the safety and authenticity of food lies with those who produce it, and who sell or provide it to the final consumer. I know that food producers, retailers and caterers are as concerned as we are at the course of recent events," he said. He said the government was working closely with businesses to "root out any illegal activity" and enforce regulations. "Consumers can be confident that we will take whatever action we consider necessary if we discover evidence of criminality or negligence," he added. Shadow environment secretary Mary Creagh said the latest revelations raised questions about the extent of the scandal. "This is no longer just a food safety issue but possibly a criminal trade," she said. Findus said the product was manufactured by a third party supplier and not by Findus. The frozen food company said all its other products had been tested and were not affected. Findus said in a statement: "We understand this is a very sensitive subject for consumers and we would like to reassure you we have reacted immediately. We do not believe this to be a food safety issue. "We are confident that we have fully resolved this supply chain issue. "We would like to take this opportunity to apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused." This week supermarket chains Aldi and Tesco, as well as Findus UK, withdrew some beef products from sale after concerns were raised at their French supplier. Comigel alerted Findus and Aldi that their products "do not conform to specification". They advised them to remove Findus Beef Lasagne and Aldi's Today's Special Frozen Beef Lasagne and Today's Special Frozen Spaghetti Bolognese. Tesco also decided to withdraw Everyday Value Spaghetti Bolognese. The Tesco product was produced at the same Comigel site but there was no evidence of contamination, the supermarket said. The wider food contamination controversy arose in mid-January when Irish food inspectors announced they had found horsemeat in some burgers stocked by a number of UK supermarket chains including Tesco, Iceland and Lidl. Asda has withdrawn products supplied by Newry-based Freeza Meats which was storing meat found to contain a high proportion of horse DNA. Two samples were found to contain 80% horsemeat. The horsemeat controversy has hit the Irish meat-processing industry, with a number of suppliers on both sides of the border affected. The FSA has said it will co-ordinate a UK-wide survey of beef products to test for the possible presence of horse or pig DNA. There will be "additional emphasis on brands at the lower end of the market, particularly for burger-type products", it said. Twenty-eight local authorities across the UK will take a total of 224 samples, and results are due to be published in April. The survey "aims to identify and understand factors that may lead to the presence of meat species that are not labelled as an ingredient, so that this can be explained, eliminated or correctly labelled". Its large and strong economy has allowed it to bankroll the bailouts that have kept some of its neighbours - and the euro - afloat. The graphics below help explain why it is so dominant, and powerful - and also some of the problems it faces. Germany's large population (the biggest in Europe) and vibrant economy add up to a GDP that far outweighs other European powers. It also has the strongest export sector and the lowest unemployment of any big European country. The success of the economy and low unemployment - especially when compared to other EU countries - mean Germany has become a magnet for jobseekers. The number of immigrants has been rising and surpassed a million people in 2012 for the first time since 1995. They come especially from former communist countries - as well as recession-hit Italy, Spain and Greece - and head for Berlin, the wealthy southern regions, and the industrial west. Despite Germany's strong economy, not everyone is doing well. Under wage restraint agreements, many people's incomes have barely grown in years, and many people who have jobs still require benefit top-ups. There is also still a clear divide, 22 years since reunification, between incomes in the old East Germany, and the old West. Caryl Parry Thomas, a police officer with North Wales Police, has been a crew member at the station for eight years. If successful, she will be in command of the lifeboat when it goes to sea. There are currently no fully-trained female coxswains at Welsh RNLI lifeboat stations with all-weather lifeboats. The role involves being in charge of a boat, particularly its navigation and steering. As part of her training, which she hopes to complete next year, Ms Parry Thomas spent a day in Caernarfon Bay on board the station's Tamar Class lifeboat, under the watchful eye of coxswain Mike Davies. The lifeboat crew conducted joint exercises with the rescue helicopter. Mr Davies said: "With Caryl in command of the lifeboat we put her in different scenarios such as pilotage of the channel on Caernarfon Bar and up the Menai Straits. "We also deployed our rescue dummy early on in the day and Caryl was tasked with planning the search for the rescue dummy, tasking various crew members to do different jobs such as navigating, plotting a search pattern and doing lookouts. "We also put Caryl in scenarios such as a fire drill and got her to organise the deployment of the anchor system." Ms Parry Jones said: 'I've been training under Mike's watchful eye for the last 18 months. Becoming a fully trained RNLI Coxswain is another challenge which I'm determined to overcome." There are three fully-trained female Coxswains at all-weather lifeboat stations across the RNLI. They are at Hastings, Hartlepool and Hoylake, and all hold volunteer deputy second coxswain volunteer positions. The 23-year-old former England Under-19 international had a trial spell with Kent at the start of last season and featured for their second XI in 2014. "I'm delighted to be rejoining Kent on a more permanent basis," he said. "I really enjoyed my time at the beginning of last year. Hopefully I can use this opportunity to push on and secure a regular first-team spot." Zimbabwe-born Rouse has played five first-class matches since making his debut for Hampshire in 2013, as well as 10 in the limited-overs formats. People carrying candles and flowers gathered in the Place de la Bourse in the heart of the city, in a show of defiance and unity. Tributes are being paid to the victims near the Zaventem airport and the Maelbeek metro station - the sites of the attacks. The bombings, claimed by so-called Islamic State, have brought condemnation from around the world. The US says the Syrian government carried out chemical weapons attacks on 21 August in which 1,429 people died. Mr Obama said the operation would be limited in duration and strong to deter future chemical attacks. Congress is due to reconvene on 9 September. The Syrian government denies it was behind the attacks and blames rebels. UN inspectors who have been investigating the attacks arrived in the Netherlands on Saturday with samples from site visits, which will be tested in laboratories in Europe. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which is overseeing the investigation, said the whole testing process could take up to three weeks, although "every effort" would be made to expedite it. Senior White House officials told the BBC's Katty Kay that Mr Obama's decision to seek congressional approval was made by the president on Friday afternoon. It had not been planned until then. The officials added that they believed they would get congressional approval, although they were aware of the risks, our correspondent adds. Later on Saturday, Mr Obama formally asked Congress to authorise military action. The draft legislation seeks approval for the use of force to prevent the Syrian government from carrying out chemical weapons attacks. By Mark MardellNorth America editor President Obama was elected to end America's wars, and in reaction to the fallout of the invasion of Iraq. He knows, as he frankly admitted, that Americans are "weary of war". Many of his own supporters want him to focus on what he calls "nation-building at home". But he is trapped within his own red lines and perhaps the need to send a signal to Iran and North Korea. White House sources say the British vote shows the dangers of allowing a debate - but it also removed a key ally and so, ironically, made support at home even more vital. It also increased the demands from Congress itself to have a say. A recent poll indicated 80% of Americans thought Congress should vote before any military action. Some will say the decision shows President Obama is weak. It certainly shows the weakness of his position - he wants to take action that isn't popular and home or abroad. But it is sensible to make sure the responsibility for unpopular action is shared with other politicians, and canny for domestic reasons to keep a very sour Congress sweet. Some might even argue that, in a democracy, it is the right thing to do. President Obama said the US was prepared to strike whenever it chose. "Our capacity to execute this mission is not time-sensitive." He added: "We cannot and will not turn a blind eye to what happened in Damascus." Mr Obama says he has the constitutional authority as commander-in-chief to order military action without the backing of Congress. However, he said it was important to have the debate. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell welcomed the announcement, saying the president's role as commander-in-chief was "always strengthened when he enjoys the expressed support of the Congress". Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who have been pushing for US intervention in Syria, also gave their backing to the vote. However, they warned against limited strikes which would not change the balance of the conflict, calling the prospect "an inadequate response to the crimes against humanity that [Syrian President] Assad and his forces are committing". The BBC's Katy Watson in Washington says that if Mr Obama is to intervene, he wants the people - and politicians - on his side. But what is unclear is what action he would take if Congress votes against involvement, our correspondent says. On Thursday, British MPs defeated a government motion to take part in any military action in Syria. After the president's address UK Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "I understand and support Barack Obama's position". Mr Obama did not speak to Mr Cameron before his statement but did call President Hollande of France, the White House said. France has also backed military action in Syria. The French parliament is due to reconvene next week. France will wait for discussions in the US Congress and French parliament before making a decision on military intervention, a French official told the Associated Press. Earlier on Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin challenged the US to present to the UN evidence that Syria had attacked rebels with chemical weapons. Mr Putin said it would be "utter nonsense" for Syria's government to provoke opponents with such attacks. Russia - a key ally of Syria - has previously warned that "any unilateral military action bypassing the UN Security Council" would be a "direct violation of international law". Moscow, along with China, has vetoed two previous draft resolutions on Syria. The BBC's Jeremy Bowen in Damascus says people there are worried and are making preparations. They do not know what Mr Obama meant by a limited attack and what consequences it will have, he adds. The main findings of the unclassified US evidence state that: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said his country will defend itself against any Western "aggression". Forces which could be used against Syria: •Four US destroyers - USS Gravely, USS Ramage, USS Barry and USS Mahan - are in the eastern Mediterranean, equipped with cruise missiles. The missiles can also be fired from submarines, but the US Navy does not reveal their locations •Airbases at Incirlik and Izmir in Turkey, and in Jordan, could be used to carry out strikes •Two aircraft carriers - USS Nimitz and USS Harry S Truman are in the wider region •French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is currently in Toulon in the western Mediterranean •French Rafale and Mirage aircraft can also operate from Al-Dhahra airbase in the UAE Correction 3 September: An earlier version of the story stated that President Obama has the constitutional authority to order military action without the backing of Congress. The story has been amended to make it clear that this is the view of the Obama administration. Monica Thompson says nurses were negligent in allowing her to breastfeed her four-day-old baby, Jacob, while sedated and without supervision. According to the lawsuit, nurses brought Mrs Thompson's son to her ward bed at around 03:00 on 6 August 2012. After drifting off, she awoke to find the infant unresponsive. Earlier that night she had been given "narcotic painkillers and sleep aids" by nurses at the Portland Adventist Medical Center in the state of Oregon, her lawsuit states. Her son had been born "healthy" by Cesarean section, according to the lawsuit. Six days after the accident, he was removed from life support, after doctors advised he would never recover from the brain damage. Mrs Thompson is seeking compensation for the baby's "desperation and anxiety" and her own "severe emotional distress upon unintentionally killing her firstborn child". "She called for a nurse while she tried to get him to respond," her lawsuit claims. "Mrs Thompson tried to stimulate her son's suckling reflexes without success. "She touched his eyes and got no response. She poked him and talked to him with no reaction. "When no nurse came to help, Mrs Thompson carried her son to the hallway and frantically yelled for help." The Portland Adventist Medical Center said in a statement: "This was a tragic event and our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the family. "Adventist Medical Center is committed to providing quality, compassionate care to all of our patients. "We are reviewing the claims being made and we are unable to provide any additional information at this time." The American Academy of Pediatrics has previously recommended infants should not sleep in the same bed with parents, due to the risk the child could be smothered under an adult's shifting weight. Some countries, such as Finland, have reduced their infant mortality rate by distributing cardboard box cribs to every new mother. Brayden Dillon was asleep in his family's Sydney home in April when a masked gunman allegedly broke in and shot him in the head. Conrad Craig, 26, was arrested earlier this week and charged with murder. A 30-year-old woman was charged with murder on Wednesday, the same day Brayden's family held a vigil for what would have been his 16th birthday. Police have described the shooting as "execution style" and said it happened after the gunman had entered the home and threatened Brayden's mother. The teenager's stepfather and young step-siblings were also in the house at the time. The woman will appear in a Sydney court on Thursday. Putting a limit on exit charges is one of three options that will be considered for anyone over 55. It follows frustration that some people trying to take money out of their pension savings face excessive charges. Despite April's pension changes, a few providers are making it difficult, or even impossible, for people to withdraw their money. Some firms have been accused of charging up to 20% of the value of the pension pot. The government will also consider making it easier to switch from one provider to another. "We want to ensure that pension providers are not using exit charges and restrictions as a barrier to switching, just when the government is providing pensioners with greater freedoms," said David Cameron. However, the pensions industry said it was already working to solve the problems that some people are finding. "No pensions sold on the market today have early exit fees, and nearly nine out of 10 people making use of the pension freedoms will not face an early exit fee," said Ben Gaukrodger, manager for savings policy at the Association of British Insurers, which represents most of the pension providers. In the consultation document, the Treasury has suggested three options for dealing with the firms that do make hefty charges: While most firms in the industry support the plans, some said that safeguards should also apply to people under the age of 55 who want to switch pension provider. "Many other people are trapped in poor value pensions and yet face high exit penalties if they want to move elsewhere," said Patrick Connolly of the financial planning firm Chase de Vere. The TUC joined in criticism, saying that £26bn was locked away in legacy accounts with high fees. "Action to clamp down on unreasonable fees and charges should not be limited to pet government projects such as its so-called pension freedom," said the TUC's general secretary, Frances O'Grady. "The pensions industry and government have failed to act robustly," she said. The consultation will last until 12 October and the government will decide afterwards whether to legislate. Since the changes in April, 85,000 people have withdrawn £1.2bn from their pensions savings, according to the government. The scheme, Fit in 5, was developed at Llwyn yr Eos school in Aberystwyth. The council said it was inspired by the Daily Mile, which encourages children to run or walk a mile a day. The exercise is in addition to breaks and physical education and can be taken at any point during the school day. Alwyn Davies, from Ceredigion Actif, the council's service for sport and leisure provision, said the initiative involved no equipment, set up time, or changing time as children can take part in their uniform. "We believe this is an effective and sustainable way of implementing a project similar to the Daily Mile but with increased benefits," he added. Police responded to the incident late on Thursday evening in Montferrier-sur-Lez in the south of the country. The home for former missionaries to Africa has been evacuated, but the suspect remains at large. There is so far no indication that this is a terrorist incident, sources close to the investigation said. A caretaker contacted police after escaping from the home, Reuters news agency reported. The body of the dead woman was found gagged and tied up outside the building, an official said. Police searched the building extensively, but the suspect had fled the scene. "For the time being, there is only one victim," Montpellier prosecutor Christophe Barret told the AFP news agency. "For the moment there is no particular evidence about the motive for this crime." The man was not known to authorities. Residents of the home "are very elderly with an average age of 75 although some are more than 90," a local councillor said, and many need assistance to walk, he said. French newspaper Le Figaro said that the attacker was "hooded and armed with a knife and sawed-off shotgun" when he broke into the home, citing sources close to the investigation. The mayor of the town, Michel Fraysse, told the AFP news agency the building housed around 60 former missionaries, six or seven lay people, and another six or seven nuns. A correspondent for AFP said 15 police vehicles and a dozen belonging to the fire service were stationed a few hundred metres from the building. Olivier Ribadeau Dumas, a spokesman for the Conference of Bishops of France, tweeted: "our prayers tonight go to the woman who lost her life in this attack on a retirement home." France remains in a formal state of emergency since a wave of terrorist attacks last year. The former Conservative prime minister said "splendid isolation" would leave the UK weaker. And he warned of economic damage if the UK votes to leave in the 23 June referendum. Vote Leave said Sir John had been "wrong on nearly every EU issue over the last 20 years" and was wrong now. Reality Check: Do we export five times as much to EU as to Commonwealth? Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Sir John said: "Day after day you have had the Brexit people producing soundbites that are either offensive or inaccurate or just plain silly. "I don't believe that it is patriotic to argue for a case that is going to make this country weaker and is going to make the wellbeing of this country less certain in the future." He went on: "To listen to them, you would think we are entrapped in the clutches of an evil empire, not in a democratic partnership with our European neighbours whose sunshine and pavement cafes we enjoy during holiday breaks." How far the UK has the ability to make its own laws and decide how it is governed.  The Leave campaign has said leaving the EU would restore sovereignty to the UK, freeing it from the influence of Brussels and the European Court of Justice, which oversees the application of EU-wide rules. But Sir John said: "If you want undiluted sovereignty in the modern age, when everybody is interconnected, then go to North Korea because that is where you will get it. "It is certainly true that we share sovereignty. We take some sovereignty from other people, we share some of ours. "We haven't surrendered it because, at the end of the day, the House of Commons, our representatives, can say, 'We won't have this, we will leave the European Union.' "But in the modern world, the modern world of interconnectivity, the modern world with the economy that now exists, you have to share sovereignty or you find yourself isolated and weaker." Vote Leave chief executive Matthew Elliott said: "John Major complained about soundbites before descending in hyperbole about North Korea without even a hint of self-awareness. "John Major has been wrong on nearly every EU issue over the last 20 years. He said Britain should join the ERM - that was a disaster which cost 3 million their jobs. This issue covers defence and the extent of Britain's influence in the world "He signed us up to Maastricht saying it wouldn't give up sovereignty and he refused to rule out joining the euro. "Now he doesn't want to take back control and stop handing Brussels £350m a week. He was wrong then and he is wrong now." It comes as UKIP leader Nigel Farage claimed he had been sidelined by Vote Leave, which is the officially designated campaign to get Britain out of the EU. He said in a speech that Vote Leave was on the "back foot" because it had failed to focus on immigration - but it had rejected his offers of help. "Every time I attempt to work with them I am rebuffed and rejected," he added. A Vote Leave spokesman said: "We wish Nigel well." Michelle Carr was injured as she tried to prevent the vehicle leaving the Jet garage on Park Road on Sunday. Appearing at Barnsley Magistrates' Court, Scott Dearing is charged with offences including robbery and dangerous driving. Charlene Beadman, 28, of Jennings Close, Rotherham, is charged with robbery and making off without payment. Mr Dearing, 30, of no fixed address, has also been charged with driving while disqualified, making off without payment and possession of an article used in connection with fraud. Both are due to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 5 January. The 19-year-old came through the Parkhead youth development programme to make himself a first pick at left-back and has thrived since Rodgers' arrival last summer. Tierney revealed he has been putting in extra work under the guidance of the club's coaches and Rodgers. "He's made me, technically, a much better player," he said. "They've worked hard on that, him and the coaches, and they've just emphasised that I work on a lot of stuff. That's what I've done in training and after training. "Touches and passes, I'm working on that, and my crosses as well, so I'm working on a lot of stuff. I'm still young." Celtic face Rangers in the Premiership on Sunday and while Tierney is looking forward to the "big game", he says the fixture gets no special treatment within the dressing room. "We work hard every single day and give 100% no matter who you're up against," he said. "I'm always up for every single game, no more than any other game - I like every single minute on the park for Celtic. "It's a great experience for me, I've played in a few (games against Rangers). Last season I was on the end of a defeat [on penalties in the Scottish Cup semi-final] but this season it has been more positive for me and hopefully it can continue." Tierney was injured for the last Premiership match against Rangers at New Year, but he joined the club's fans in the Ibrox crowd for the 2-1 triumph. "I was gutted - you don't like missing any games but the boys did well and it was a great memory for me," he said. "It was brilliant, just like when I was younger, going to the games with my dad and my family. So it was another good experience." Celtic go into the game having won all three derby matches so far this term. The Premeirship leaders are 27 points clear of second-placed Aberdeen, 33 clear of Rangers in third, and only need seven more points to be certain of a sixth straight title, although two wins would effectively clinch it, given their huge goal difference advantage. Tierney says the club's dominance is all down to their own hard work. "The points gap is big but that's not come easy," he added. "We've worked hard since day one for that. Every single day since pre-season, it's all geared towards the league and cups and we're doing well, but it's not come easy for us." Tierney has returned to top form since his ankle ligament injury and is targeting a place in the Scotland squad for the friendly against Canada on 22 March and World Cup qualifier with Slovenia on 26 March. "I'm hoping I can be in there," he said. "I missed the England game through injury the last time, another big game to miss, but that's football and you need to deal with it. Hopefully the last few months I've showed the manager I'm ready to come back in." In the week when legendary Celtic player Tommy Gemmell passed away, Tierney also spoke about the man who helped blaze the trail for attacking full-backs. "It's very sad," the teenager said. "I think it was 63 goals or something that he scored - if I get 63 shots I'll be happy in my career." Lindsey Biggs and Holly Parkinson failed to tell a paediatrician at Furness General Hospital Joshua Titcombe had a low temperature A hearing of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) concluded the baby lost a "significant chance of survival." His father James Titcombe said he was glad the "truth had finally emerged." The panel is now considering whether the midwives are fit to continue practising. Joshua, referred to as Baby A, was born in October 2008, but died nine days later after suffering pneumococcal septicaemia and a lung haemorrhage. Panel chairman Stuart Gray said both women had been "guarded" when giving evidence and appeared to have "distanced" and "detached" themselves from the events of the day. He told Ms Biggs: "You were the midwife responsible for the care of baby A shortly before his collapse." He said that rather than going to a doctor "you took matters into your own hands and placed baby A into a warming cot." Ms Biggs failed to ensure three-hourly observations were made on Joshua, the panel found. It also found she failed to make proper notes on Joshua's mother Hoa. The failure by both midwives "denied baby A any opportunity to be seen, assessed and treated by a paediatrician", Mr Gray said. He added: "This was the significant chance for baby A that was lost." Mr and Mrs Titcombe, from Dalton-in-Furness, have both claimed they repeatedly told hospital staff that Mrs Titcombe was unwell the day before giving birth and that they were concerned about the possibility of her catching an infection from her sick daughter who had been sent home ill from nursery. An inquest in 2011 heard the midwives repeatedly missed chances to spot and treat the baby's infection. Abel Hernandez put the home side in the lead from the penalty spot after Harry Maguire was fouled by Lee Peltier. Sam Clucas did well to convert Mohamed Diame's cross on the volley for Hull's second in the second half. Both Hernandez and Clucas had further chances, but the win takes Hull past Derby into second, five points behind Middlesbrough. The defeat will put more pressure on Cardiff manager Russell Slade, who was reportedly close to the sack after the weekend's FA Cup exit by League One strugglers Shrewsbury. The result rarely looked in doubt, especially after Anthony Pilkington clipped over Cardiff's best chance midway through the first half. Five minutes before half-time, Peltier wrestled man of the match Maguire to the ground from a corner, and Hernandez blasted the penalty beyond David Marshall's reach. But manager Steve Bruce was not impressed with his player's reaction. He said: "I think 10 people had come over from Uruguay. Abel jumped into the crowd, and picked a yellow card, which was a bit silly, to say the least." Clucas added Hull's second, doing well to control a low volley from Diame's cross. Marshall was kept busy, twice denying Clucas a chance to get his second, as Hull secured their 10th home win of the season. Hull City manager Steve Bruce: Media playback is not supported on this device "It was comfortable. On another night, it could have been three or four. "We've been fantastic at home, with one defeat in the last 18. We've got another home game at the weekend - can we put more pressure at the top of the table? "We're not that clinical, though, which is disappointing. It's our Achilles heel. We can't keep creating five, six or seven opportunities and only take one or two." Cardiff manager Russell Slade: "We know what we've got to do. It's time to roll our sleeves up and get it done. Of course I am [confident of getting into the play-offs]. I believe in what I'm doing. "I've done 750 games with a win ratio of around 39% so it doesn't mean I'm a mug. It means I'm capable and I still feel I'm capable of getting this team in the top six." On reports he may get the sack: "I don't know where all that kind of information comes from or what sources that is. As far as I'm concerned, the dialogue with the chairman and chief executive is very good and we're all wanting the same thing." Match ends, Hull City 2, Cardiff City 0.

She earned $10m (£7.5m) in the year from June 2015 thanks to global sales of 11 million and a film deal for The Girl on the Train, according to Forbes. That put her in ninth place. The top spot went to James Patterson for the third year running, with $95m (£71m). Diary of a Wimpy Kid author Jeff Kinney was second, earning $19.5m (£14.7m), closely followed by Harry Potter creator JK Rowling on $19m (£14.3m). The Mabinogion is made up of 11 tales set in a magical landscape featuring magical white horses and heroic men. Matthews visits the Bodleian Library in Oxford to examine the 14th Century manuscript - The Red Book Of Hergest - which includes four branches of the stories. The documentary on BBC Four is part of The Secret Life of books series. The tales include one of the earliest-known references to King Arthur. Some of the stories are more than 1,000 years old but others are thought to be older still. Their influence can still be seen in inspiring modern day fantasy fiction, and big and small screen hits like Lord Of The Rings and Game Of Thrones. Matthews traces the history of the tales, which owes much to Victorian aristocrat Lady Charlotte Guest, whose translations helped bring the Mabinogion to a modern audience in the mid 19th Century. Lady Charlotte, who had taught herself Arabic, Hebrew and Persian, married south Wales industrialist John Josiah Guest and learnt Welsh. The "Red Book" is the most important Welsh book to survive from the medieval period. Written in Middle Welsh it may have been an act of cultural preservation at an uncertain time. Prof Thomas Charles-Edwards of Oxford University said: "This was a strong period for grand, local Welsh families patronising literature and possessing manuscripts as things of pride. "This was written for a particular patron who lived near Swansea Hopkin ap Tomos and he had a wide knowledge of Welsh tradition, this manuscript corresponds to quite a lot of his range of interests." Matthews also reads extracts of the stories, which are set in a magical landscape, connected to west and north Wales. This is a land where white horses appear magically, where a giant King can stride across the sea, and there are beautiful women and heroic men. "When I was growing up I had a Mabinogion poster, the illustrations were almost psychedelic," said the former lead singer with Catatonia. "I'd fallen in love with the unpredictable plots, the beautiful language and the larger than life characters". The Secret Life of Books remains available on the BBC iPlayer until 7 October. For starters, no one yet knows how easy it will be to sell them back to the market. So under the changes coming in on 6th April, many retirees are likely to opt for the alternative, known as pension drawdown. This means keeping your pension pot invested, and drawing an income from it, as and when you need it. But if you take this route, you will be taking two big gambles. First, how long do you think you will live? And second, how much income can you afford to take from your pot? Get either of those wrong, and you could easily run out of money before you die. In answer to the first question, life expectancy once you've reached the age of 65 is currently 83 for men in England and Wales, and 86 for women. But the danger - in pension terms - is that they may well live very much longer. That is why deciding on the second issue - the rate at which you can afford to deplete your pension pot - is so important. The chart below shows how quickly you can use up your money. Someone with a pension pot of £100,000 who withdraws at 6% a year - ie £6,000 - will in theory run out of money in 26 years. Someone who withdraws 5% a year could expect their fund to last much longer: 35 years. And this calculation assumes the remaining pot grows at 6% a year. Should it only grow at 4%, the person taking £6,000 a year will run out of money in just 19 years. The trouble with the chart above is that it only shows the theory of what should happen to your pension pot. Indeed Ned Cazelet, the consultant who produced it, calls it a "fantasy". For according to how the stock market performs in reality, all those theoretical calculations could go, well, to pot. So the chart below shows what would actually have happened to an investment pot of £100,000, had it been invested in 2000. In 2001 and 2002 markets fell, wiping away nearly half the value of the savings. Although share values later recovered, that early damage was a killer blow - resulting in rapid erosion of the capital. In 2007 and 2008 the same thing happened again. "Lots of people lost money very quickly," says Mr Cazelet. "If you do have these slips, you can find yourself going down the hill, and the brakes have failed. You'll never get back up there." Thus anyone withdrawing £6,000 a year from their pension fund would have run out of money this year - just 15 years after starting it. By withdrawing £5,000 a year, they would at least still have £31,000 left in their fund. But even that might only ensure a further six years of payments. So how much should you withdraw from a pension fund to make sure it lasts for as long as you want it to? Some experts talk about a notional "4% rule". "Taking around 4% per annum is relatively safe, and gives you a good chance of not using up your capital," says Richard Parkin, the head of retirement at Fidelity Worldwide Investment.

Money Advice Service But others think even this could be too high, especially if markets perform badly. So the alternative is to take only the natural yield from investments. In other words, to take the annual dividend pay-outs in the case of shares, or the coupons in the case of bonds, but to leave the rest of the capital untouched. This approach is advocated by Tom McPhail, of Hargreaves Lansdown, who believes natural yield is a good starting point. "If you start drawing on an income pot at the age of 60, you might still be alive at the age of 90," he says. "Any run-down of capital over that time span could potentially get you in to trouble." With careful investing, a natural yield should allow an income of 3% or 3.5%. In an era of low interest rates, annuities may well be out of fashion. But most experts are advising their clients to be extremely careful about relying on income drawdown products. Mr Cazelet's study, "When I'm 64", shows how poor market performance in the early years of retirement can be particularly damaging. "I'm not saying that drawdown arrangements are bad, but the client and his advisers need to understand what the risks are," he says. Mr Parkin suggests that people in retirement need to have some form of regular income first - such as a defined benefit company pension or an annuity - before considering a drawdown pension. "You should have some guaranteed income to cover your living expenses," he says. "People need to know that they can sleep at night, and to know they're always going to have somewhere to live and something to eat." Equally well, he also sees an opposite problem: people being so frightened of running out of money later on, that they do not spend enough of it. "If people are worried about losing their money, they could end up not touching it at all, and not enjoying the retirement they want to have," he says. Shaun Bridges was part of the federal task force that helped investigate and shut down the Silk Road - an underground marketplace for drugs. The Silk Road's founder, Ross Ulbricht, was sentenced to life in prison in May for running the site. Bridges is the second agent involved in the case caught stealing digital cash. He pleaded guilty to counts of money laundering and obstruction of justice while stealing the virtual cash, during a court hearing on Monday in San Francisco. He will be sentenced in December. Bridges was caught despite trying to conceal his theft via a series of complex financial manoeuvres that were aided by his position as a forensic investigator on the Silk Road case. The vast majority of the $214m of sales made via the site were completed using bitcoins. The theft was carried out while the investigation into the Silk Road site was ongoing. To commit the crimes, Bridges used access he had to an administrator account on the Silk Road to reset passwords and move 20,000 bitcoins to a wallet he controlled. "There is a bright line between enforcing the law and breaking it," said US assistant attorney general Leslie Caldwell in a statement. "Law enforcement officers who cross that line not only harm their immediate victim but also betray the public trust." In early July, former US Drug Enforcement Agency agent Carl Force pleaded guilty to three charges in connection with more than $700,000 in bitcoins he had stolen from Silk Road users. The Silk Road was shut down in October 2013 when raids by the FBI and other federal agents led to the arrest of its founder. Helmsman Derek Pusey steered the boat into a narrow gully within rocks to rescue the two men, who were in danger of being swept out to sea. Clive Williams swam out to reach the men in their 60s, gave them lifejackets and waited with them during a very difficult rescue. Both men from Cardigan received honours from the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. They had been sent to rescue two men, stranded high up on a ledge in steep rocks at Tresaith in September 2013. Mr Williams was frequently pushed under water by the breaking waves as he tried to reach them and was knocked from the rocks several times. He stayed with the cold and distressed men until they were taken ashore to Aberporth. At one stage during the rescue, a powerful wave broke over the reef pushing the lifeboat towards the cliffs with significant force. Mr Pusey managed to regain control and rapidly return the second casualty to safety. He received The Lady Swaythling Trophy, awarded annually for an outstanding feat of seamanship, while Mr Williams got an individual commendation. The helmsman of a second lifeboat Leonard Walters, who steered as close to the cliffs as possible in rough seas, has already received a framed letter of thanks from the RNLI chairman. The society's chief executive Commodore Malcolm Williams said: "This rescue required an exceptional act of courage and ability. "Despite technological advances we still rely on the bravery of rescue crews and individuals to help those in danger around our coast. " The incumbent leader already has the backing of the biggest union - Unite - and others including Aslef and the Communication Workers Union. His challenger, Owen Smith, earlier won the backing of the GMB. The leadership contest came about after Mr Corbyn lost a vote of no confidence by his MPs, and faced mass resignations from his top team. Unison carried out a consultation with those members who had opted into the union's political fund linked to Labour, rather than a full ballot. Its Labour Link Committee made the decision following the consultation and talks at a regional and national level. Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: "Jeremy Corbyn retains the backing of a majority of Unison's Labour-supporting members. That's why the committee supported his nomination again. "However, a significant minority backed Owen Smith. Their views will always be respected in our union - that's our proud tradition." Mr Corbyn said he was "proud to have the support of Unison members", hailing their "incredible work" in keeping essential services running. He added: "We need a Labour Party that gives them a voice." Of the 18,418 who responded, 58.1% backed Mr Corbyn, against 41.9% for Mr Smith. Unite did not hold a members' ballot. The GMB balloted its members - 60% of those who took part backed the challenger, Mr Smith. The GMB union represents workers on the UK's Trident nuclear weapons programme. Other unions supporting Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn include the: He has also got the backing of the Prison Officers Association, which is not affiliated to Labour, with its executive saying it will encourage members who may be in the party to vote for him. General secretary Steve Gillan said: "Jeremy Corbyn has always supported this trade union over the years in the restoration of trade union rights". Other backers for Mr Smith are shopworkers' union USDAW, the Community Union and Musicians' Union.

David Headlam, from Harlesden, north-west London, was found with stab wounds in Drayton Road, in the early hours of 29 June 2014. T-Shai Ennis, 18, of Langley, Slough and Idris Daud, 20, of Anton Place, Wembley, were both sentenced to a minimum of 20 years, at the Old Bailey. Ayman Koshin, 18, of Summers Close, Wembley, must serve at least 18 years. All three had also been convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent following an attack of a 19-year-old man who was with David at the time. Mr Headlam and his friend were attacked as they walked along the High Street in Harlesden. Both victims ran away but two of the attackers pursued Mr Headlam into Drayton Road and assaulted him again. Police said he was taken to hospital but died later. The Met Police's Det Insp Sarah McConnell said the motive for the stabbing remained unclear. "This was an unprovoked attack against two friends who were making their way home after meeting friends," she added. "The defendants launched a violent assault, chasing David for some distance before delivering the fatal injuries."

Three men have been sentenced to life in prison for stabbing an 18-year-old to death in an unprovoked attack.

The 63-year-old is rarely seen in public without the 5ft sword as well as steel helmet and tartan outfit. He is standing as an Independent candidate in the Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk constituency. Scottish Borders Council has informed him he cannot take the sword to the count or polling places. Mr Rae, from St Boswells, is best known for writing the hit Inside Out for Odyssey in 1982 as well as his own single, Over The Sea. He has stood a number of times for political office and is one of seven candidates for the Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk constituency. He is up against the SNP's Calum Kerr, Conservative John Lamont, Kenryck Lloyd-Jones of Labour, Lib Dem Michael Moore, UKIP's Peter Neilson and Green candidate Pauline Stewart. Returning officer Tracey Logan wrote to Mr Rae: "I must ensure that people are able to vote on the day without any perceived threat or risk." A Scottish Borders Council spokesperson confirmed: "Mr Rae will not be permitted to enter polling stations or the count centre while carrying a claymore to ensure the safety of members of the public, presiding officers, poll clerks and other staff." Mr Rae claimed the local authority was being small-minded. He told the BBC Scotland website: "The letter is just tae try and humiliate me and embarrass me in front o' the press and media that they know will be at the count centre." Three Guards also died in the fighting, Iran's Fars news agency cited their commander in Kordestan province, Gen Mohammad Hossein Rajabi, as saying. Gen Rajabi said the rebels were linked to the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI). The PDKI said several of its fighters and more than 20 Iranian troops had been killed in clashes in recent days. The group has been striving for decades for autonomy for predominantly Kurdish areas in north-western Iran. Gen Rajabi told Fars that the 11-strong group of "counter-revolutionaries" were "eliminated" in the Sarvabad region by Revolutionary Guards. The rebels were pursued for 10 days before they were killed, he added. A PDKI commander called Kaveh Javanmard was among those killed, according to Brig Gen Mohammad Pakpour, the commander of the Guards' ground forces. It was not clear whether the 11 dead rebels included the five who the Guards said had been killed in clashes along the Iraqi border late on Saturday. The PDKI said its Peshmerga fighters had come under attack from Guards personnel on Saturday in the village of Dorow, near the town of Marivan. Two Peshmerga and a number of Guards were killed in the battle, it added. Other Peshmerga were ambushed later on Saturday in the mountains of Koslan, in the Marivan region, sparking clashes in which more Guards died, according to the PDKI. Further fighting on Sunday left scores of troops and a third Peshmerga dead, the group said. The PDKI added that Iranian forces had shelled several Kurdish border villages since Saturday. Gen Pakpour threatened on Sunday to launch cross-border raids on the PDKI. "Since the main bases of these terrorists are in northern Iraq, if they don't follow through with commitments to stop these attacks, their bases will be targeted where they are," he said. The estimated eight million Kurds in Iran, like other ethnic minorities, do not enjoy equal rights and the government consistently denies their right to use their languages in school, according to the US. However, President Hassan Rouhani promised to open Kurdish-language centres during a visit to Mahabad on 1 June. "The mother tongue of ethnic groups, especially of Kurds, should be respected and recognised," he said. Mahabad was the capital of a short-lived Kurdish republic that was founded after World War Two and lasted 11 months. Councillors agreed that the pool, with 500 spectator seats, be built the Alan Higgs Centre. The new plans mean the centre will lose its indoor football hall from October 2017 which is currently used by Coventry City Football Club Academy. The charity that owns the Alan Higgs Centre will transfer the building to Coventry and Warwickshire Award Trust. More updates on this and others in Coventry The council will contribute £10.5m towards the project with the remaining funding being sought from external third party funding, the council said. The new sports village in Allard Way, could open in late 2018. Leopold Angong Oben was fouled in the penalty area, earning his team a spot-kick during the first half of the match against Colombe du Dja-et-Lobo at the Reunification Stadium in the commercial capital Douala on Saturday. He received treatment on the field and resumed play but collapsed minutes later. "He collapsed in the stadium in the 33rd minute of the match. "His team mates tried to revive him without success," said sports journalist Aime Moukoko, who was in the stadium reporting on the match. The referee called for the assistance of Red Cross personnel present at the stadium, the Cameroon Professional Football League said in a statement. "(Oben) was evacuated to a Douala hospital where he passed away minutes after," the statement said. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Oben was the second player from Dynamo de Douala to die in the span of three weeks after 27-year-old goalkeeper Ferdinand Mbog passed away following an unspecified illness. The teenager will join the Cottagers' development squad for the remainder of the season, having agreed a three-year contract with the London club. Grimmer became the youngest Dons player when he made his debut against Rangers in April 2010, aged just 16 years, two months and 13 days old. He made three first-team appearances for the Pittodrie outfit but has not featured during this campaign. Fulham paid a fee of about £200,000 for the midfielder, who was under contract until the summer. "We received full value on the training compensation side, while agreeing to further add on terms," chief executive Duncan Fraser told the club website. "We made Jack an extremely good offer to remain at Pittodrie, having signed him straight from school. We are beginning to see young talent moving south before they are fully developed with the teams they signed for as youngsters "[Manager] Craig Brown emphasised that he would continue to be developed by being involved with the first team, with a view to him becoming a full first team squad member next season. "There is a bigger issue for Scottish football here in that we are beginning to see young talent moving south before they are fully developed with the teams they signed for as youngsters. "It is an issue we shall seek to raise with the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football Association to see what steps can be taken to safeguard our clubs' interests." Januzaj, 22, was told he could find another club this summer by United manager Jose Mourinho. He returned from an unsuccessful campaign on loan at Sunderland and was left out of Mourinho's squad for the pre-season tour of the United States. Januzaj, who has also had a stint on loan at Borussia Dortmund in 2015-16, is set to have a medical on Wednesday. Januzaj joined United from Anderlecht when he was 16 and broke into the first team in 2013 during David Moyes' ill-fated spell in charge. Deemed good enough to take Ryan Giggs' number 11 shirt, Januzaj signed a five-year contract extension that was not due to expire until 2018.

The man, an EU national who has not been named, was spotted by divers off the coast of Dover at dawn on Sunday. A Home Office spokesman said the man had become disorientated on his paddleboard. He said: "The man was a German tourist in distress, but who was in the country legally." He added: "He was not an illegal immigrant. "He had been on the water for some time, having gone out on his paddleboard, and was picked up by HMC Valiant." The move comes two years after the Edinburgh-based firm announced a partnership with one of China's top search engines, Baidu. Founded in 2010, Youbibi specialises in comparing flights, hotels and package holidays in China. Youbibi will continue to operate as a subsidiary of Skyscanner. Youbibi's team of specialist engineers will continue to be based in Shenzhen, while Skyscanner's commercial and marketing hub for China will remain in Beijing. Skyscanner, which operates under the Tianxun brand in China, generates one million hits a month in the country, about 10 times more than Youbibi's current rate. Chief executive Gareth Williams said: "Since we established our China team in 2012, the number of visitors to our site and apps across the country has grown tenfold, yet we're still only at the start of the growth opportunity we see here. "This acquisition brings the best of both worlds with Skyscanner's international coverage and Youbibi's domestic travel search and intimate knowledge of the Chinese traveller. "The acquisition takes us from being a strong international travel specialist in China to a truly global travel service provider for Chinese nationals, domestically and internationally." Krzysztof Druzgala, 21, had earlier admitted raping the woman at Swanfield Industrial Estate on 30 August 2014. The court heard how the victim was attacked as she made her way to work in Leith. Druzgala pinned her to the ground and punched her. He said later he was drunk and could not remember the attack. A judge at the High Court in Edinburgh told Druzgala, through an interpreter: "The violence you inflicted in order to overpower her and have sex with her was both extreme in nature and prolonged. "The girl was frightened for her life and attempted to co-operate with your demands in order to save herself. "As a result she was badly injured and has been profoundly affected by the trauma you inflicted upon her, both physically and mentally." The judge said the rape on a 20-year-old stranger in a public place was achieved through violence and threats. Lord Burns said he would have jailed him for 10 years for the offence, but for his early guilty plea. He also ordered that he be kept under supervision for a further three years. Lord Burns said the sex attacker's supervision may be a matter for the Polish authorities and pointed out he would be the subject of automatic deportation provisions. He told Druzgala: "You will remain on the sexual offenders' register for life. Druzgala was shown CCTV footage from the bus and identified himself. He said: "I don't remember if I met a girl. I was drunk and might not remember." Druzgala was arrested in Constitution Street in Edinburgh after the attack. His DNA was found on the fingernails and clothing of the victim. Defence solicitor advocate Robbie Burnett said: "He deeply regrets his actions, but he has not got the slightest recollection of the incident." Det Ch Insp Alwyn Bell, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a horrific ordeal for the young woman to endure and a thorough investigation was undertaken to identify the perpetrator. "As a result of extensive CCTV enquiry Druzgala was identified and brought to justice for this crime. "I would like to pay tribute to his victim at this time for her courage and continued assistance during our investigation." The Open Golf Championship in St Andrews was suspended after just 32 minutes of play, with 40mph gusts of wind blowing balls across greens. A welfare van opened early in Alyth to help residents affected by flash flooding which cut power off and forced people from their homes. Storms also saw the evacuation of the Tiree Music Festival site overnight. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) now has just one flood warning for the Innerpeffray to Bridge of Earn area, with most of its flood alerts also stood down. Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution was dealing with more than 750 homes in Alyth cut off at the peak of the problems. Only a handful still have no electricity and Scottish Hydro said it was working to reconnect them "where it was safe to do so". A company spokesman said a bridge over the Alyth Burn that carried cables was washed away. At the golf, the lost competition time means The Open will be played through until Monday, instead of Sunday. The Met Office has now lifted its severe weather warning, which had run through until 13:00 on Saturday. The forecast for the rest of day is improving, becoming drier and brighter for most. Rain should also gradually die away from part of North Argyll and the West Highlands. Police said the suspicious object, which was found in the Brigade Road area of the city, was nothing untoward. A controlled explosion was carried out on Thursday evening following the discovery of the object. Homes were evacuated with residents who needed shelter moved to the Lincoln Court community centre. Roads were also closed to allow police to deal with the alert. All roads in the area have re-opened. Lance Bombardier Ben Parkinson has prosthetic limbs after losing his legs in an explosion in Afghanistan in 2006. He was due to carry the torch on 26 June on a flat route in Bennetthorpe but then heard it had changed, putting his participation in doubt. The London 2012 organising committee, Locog, has now reversed its decision. Lance Bombardier Parkinson was originally due to walk past the cenotaph in Bennetthorpe but was then allocated a stretch of the A630 Balby Road. His mother, Diane Dernie, said he would be unable to walk on the route using artificial legs without the aid of crutches. That decision has now been altered. Mr Parkinson's family said they "were delighted at the change of heart at Locog". Lance Bombardier Parkinson, who served with the 7 Para Royal Horse Artillery, also suffered brain damage and a broken back when his Land Rover was ripped apart by an anti-tank mine. Ms Dernie said: "For Ben it's not just a matter of turning up and running. He's worked for this ever since he was nominated." Ms Dernie said Locog had told her a wheelchair could be used to carry the Olympic torch but the suggestion was dismissed by Lance Bombardier Parkinson. The Crawick Multiverse, designed by renowned artist Charles Jencks, has been created with materials found on the site in Dumfries and Galloway. The £1m project on land near Sanquhar was funded by the Duke of Buccleuch. It will be launched on Sunday with a performance by a cast of 30 dancers and musicians. The Crawick Artland Trust, which manages the site, has said it hopes to attract international visitors and boost business in Sanquhar, Kelloholm and Kirkconnel. The opening performance, which coincides with the Summer solstice, is called Oceanallover and it has been specially developed by artistic director Alex Rigg. He said: "Through conversations with Charles Jencks and with the Duke of Buccleuch and the local community, it is clear to me that my job is to present something which is interesting to look at in itself but allows other people to see the potential of the site for future events." The performance is likely to raise questions, rather than answer them, he said. "It's likely to be quite abstract at times and certainly not a conventional piece of theatre," he added. "The performance itself, until we have done it I can't describe what it is. I'll be waiting to hear what other people say about it, myself. "I'll have discussions with other people, asking them what they thought it was and what they thought was interesting. It's a puzzler." Mr Jencks previous work includes the Garden of Cosmic Speculation north of Dumfries, and the Beijing Olympic Park's Black Hole Terrace. He has said the Crawick artwork "celebrates the surrounding Scottish countryside and its landmarks, looking outwards and back in time." A BBC investigation revealed some staff at Omniserv - which provides special assistance at airports - were lifting travellers incorrectly and abandoning those who needed help. Campaign group Disability Wales said the level of service was "shocking". Omniserv has apologised to customers. All UK airports must, by law, provide free support to any disabled passenger who needs it. That special assistance service includes helping travellers through the airport and on to the plane itself. It also covers the lifting of passengers on to their aircraft seat, while staff should stay with a disabled person at all times when help is needed. But the Civil Aviation Authority has received 279 complaints about special assistance services at airports around the UK in the last two years. BBC Wales' X-Ray programme has heard from disabled passengers who say they will never fly again after their experiences at Heathrow and Edinburgh airports. Both airports use the company Omniserv to deliver special assistance services. Mel Davies, from Pontardawe, Neath Port Talbot, who is paralysed from the waist down, said she was left in pain after being incorrectly lifted by Omniserv staff on two separate occasions. Mrs Davies said she was expecting to be lifted by her arms, which she crosses over her chest - but one staff member lifted her under her armpits into her wheelchair, and another lifted her by her chest. "As someone who's had surgery for breast cancer, I found it painful and upsetting," added Mrs Davies. She said employees also left her at the aircraft door when her plane arrived at Heathrow. Airline staff ended up helping her into the airport. Jan Crispin, from Winchester in Hampshire, was left waiting 90 minutes for Omniserv staff to help her off her plane at Heathrow after a nine hour flight from Canada. When they did they tried to lift her under her armpits, leaving her carer to intervene and help, she said. She was so delayed that the door to the baggage reclaim area had been locked. "I wanted to cry," said Mrs Crispin. "I was so tired and so worn down by it all that I really did start thinking, is it worth it? Is two weeks' holiday worth all this aggravation?" Meanwhile, Heather McQueen, from Perth in Scotland, has vowed never to fly alone again following her experience with Omniserv at Edinburgh airport. She said she was abandoned by Omniserv staff for so long that she missed her flight and had to wait alone for hours for the next available one. "I was tired, I was in pain," said Mrs McQueen, who has multiple sclerosis. "I had to increase my pain meds the following day because any form of sitting for any length of time causes pain." Dr Natasha Hirst, from Disability Wales, said some of the complaints she had heard were "shocking", "humiliating" and "outrageous". "They are actually leaving people stressed, anxious, upset and feeling perhaps they don't want to go on holiday again," she added. "It's not acceptable." Former Paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson, a member of the House of Lords, said she was "shocked" after X-Ray showed her the footage of Mrs Davies being lifted by Omniserv staff at Heathrow. "If somebody needs help being transferred, the absolute basic thing you should do is ask how a person wants to be lifted," Baroness Grey-Thompson said. "So to actually grab somebody under the arms, especially a woman, and grab them in the chest area is just absolutely horrible. "It makes me feel cold even just thinking about it." Omniserv, which also provides special assistance services at London Stansted and Liverpool John Lennon airports, has apologised. Heathrow Airport said it was "deeply concerned" about the complaints. Both Heathrow and Edinburgh airports added they were working hard to improve the journeys of their passengers. X-Ray is on BBC One Wales on Monday, 13 February at 19:30 GMT The moment the thieves levered the car park machine out of its hard-standing with rope attached to their 4x4 vehicle was caught on CCTV cameras in Sudbury. The machine was pulled out of the train station car park at about 04:30 GMT on Thursday. Babergh District Council said the theft was "simply not worth it". Frank Lawrenson, portfolio holder for environment at the council, which owns the site, called it a "mindless, deliberate, act of vandalism". "Babergh's machines do not have huge amounts of money kept in them overnight - a lot of people pay electronically or have a season ticket, and we empty the machines regularly," he said. "It simply is not worth it for the thieves to take part in this type of activity." Mr Lawrenson added there were no plans at present to replace the stolen machine, which is worth £4,000, as there were two others. Media playback is not supported on this device Warne has joined in the wealth of tributes from around the world to his "close friend and mentor" Benaud, who died aged 84 on Thursday. A leg-spinning all-rounder, Benaud played 63 Tests and later became an acclaimed broadcaster. "He was above the Prime Minister in Australia, people loved him worldwide," said fellow leg-spinner Warne. "We've got Dame Edna Everage and Russell Crowe we've adopted from New Zealand, and Kylie, but Richie is pretty close to number one as an Australian icon," added Warne. "To me, he was like The Godfather of cricket - he was the Marlon Brando of cricket. "When you heard Richie's voice, you thought 'it's summer', no matter what country you were in." The Australian government has offered to hold a state funeral for Benaud, who was the first player to reach both 2,000 runs and 200 wickets in Tests and never lost a series as captain of his country. He became an iconic voice of cricket, with his final commentary in England at the 2005 Ashes series. He continued to work in Australia until 2013. In November, Benaud revealed he was being treated for skin cancer. BBC Radio 5 live pays tribute to Richie Benaud "He loved leg-spin bowling, and we had many dinners over a few glasses of red wine where we talked about leg-spin over the course of 30 years," added Warne, whose tally of 708 Test wickets is second only to Muttiah Muralitharan. "He was a great man, a gentleman, a wonderful cricketer and the number one commentator there has ever been, no-one will ever be as good as Richie. "Don Bradman was the greatest cricketer to ever play the game, bar none, but I'd go as close to saying that Richie has been nearly more influential than Bradman in the way he played, and the way he commentated." Weir, 37, clocked one hour 29 minutes 25 seconds as he prepares for the London Marathon, his final race before retiring, on 23 April. Husband and wife Kenyans Paul Lonyangata and Purity Rionoripo won the respective men's and women's races. Lonyangata won in two hours six minutes 10 seconds, while Rionoripo's time was two hours twenty minutes 50 seconds. "I'm so happy, it's a great day for me to win and to beat my personal best," said Rionoripo. David Andrew Desper surrendered to authorities on Sunday, accompanied by a lawyer, and was charged with first-degree murder. Bianca Roberson, 18, sustained a fatal gunshot to the head in the attack. The suspect is also charged with third-degree murder, possessing an instrument of crime and and reckless endangering. Gunfire rang out last Wednesday during evening rush hour as Mr Desper's red Chevrolet truck attempted to merge on to a lane in Chester County at the same time as Ms Roberson's car, say officials. Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said: "They jockeyed for position and he wasn't happy so he pulled out a gun and shot Bianca in the head, killing her instantly." Ms Roberson's car careened off the road and landed in a ditch, while the gunman's car escaped "at a high rate of speed", according to court documents. Investigators do not suspect a racial element to the attack. "This appears to be a savage, senseless and brutal act from one human being to another human being," said Mr Hogan. Mr Desper, of Trainer, Pennsylvania, legally owned the 40-calibre handgun used in the attack, said officials. He is being held at Chester County Prison ahead of a preliminary hearing on 13 July. The two men were left with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after working at the firm, the lawsuit alleged. Their jobs involved viewing and reporting material, communicated via Microsoft services, that had been flagged by automated software as being potentially illegal. Microsoft told the BBC it disputed the claims, and that it offered industry-leading support. "Microsoft takes seriously its responsibility to remove and report imagery of child sexual exploitation and abuse being shared on its services, as well as the health and resiliency of the employees who do this important work." It said the balance of protecting internet users while minimising the impact on its employees was a continued learning process. Saving children’s lives Henry Soto and Greg Blauert worked for Microsoft’s Online Safety Team, a division responsible for upholding the firm’s legal obligation to pass on any illegal images to the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. When an image is reported, or automated software has “spotted” an issue, a human being is required to view the material and forward it on to the authorities, a Microsoft spokeswoman said. The company said people with this role are only required to do this particular task for a short period of time - and that they are kept in a “different office” from other staff. But in papers filed on 30 December 2016, the two men said the company did little to warn or prepare them for the disturbing images they were required to view. The lawsuit says both men’s efforts were “instrumental” in saving children’s lives and securing prosecutions, but that both were paying a serious psychological toll. But the documents described Mr Blauert as suffering greatly from this work, contributing to a mental breakdown in 2013. When he expressed his discomfort, it is alleged that he was told to "smoke", "go for walk" or "play video games" as a distraction. 'Horrible and inhumane' Mr Soto viewed "many thousands of photographs and videos of the most horrible, inhumane and disgusting content one can imagine," the papers said. "Many people simply cannot imagine what Mr Soto had to view on a daily basis as most people do not understand how horrible and inhumane the worst people in the world can be." In an internal employee review, Mr Soto was praised by his bosses for having "courage". However, he said the work resulted in him suffering "panic attacks, disassociation, depression, visual hallucinations" as well as the inability to be around young children, including his own son. Doing so would remind him of "horribly violent acts against children that he had witnessed," the court papers said. Mr Soto alleged that when he requested a transfer out of the team in 2014, he was told he would have to apply for a new job within Microsoft "just like any other employee". When he was eventually moved to a different section of the safety team, he said he was still being asked questions related to his prior role. Microsoft disputed this particular detail, saying: "If an employee no longer wishes to do this work, he or she will be assigned other responsibilities." Wellness Employees on the Online Safety Team are automatically put on a “Wellness program”, Microsoft said, which included mandatory monthly one-on-one sessions with a counsellor to combat what is referred to as "compassion fatigue". The company said many measures are taken to minimise the psychological impact on people viewing the material. The measures include efforts to reduce the "realism" of the content. Microsoft’s software automatically blurs imagery, lowers the resolution, makes it black and white and separates the audio from video. Images are only seen as thumbnails, not full size. Furthermore: "Employees are limited in how long they may do this work per day and must go to a separate, dedicated office to do it; they can’t do this work at home or on personal equipment.” However, a spokeswoman could not speak to whether employees undergo any psychological assessment prior to taking on the work. Collaboration Technology companies, particularly those offering web storage or social networking, are under continued pressure to do more to remove images depicting a variety of problems - from terrorist propaganda to child abuse. The companies are working on better ways to share data so that an image flagged by one company would automatically be removed by another, minimising the number of people exposed to the material. The lawsuit in this case is suing for an unspecified amount in damages, but also for its suggestions on how to improve the Online Safety Team to be taken on board. Microsoft confirmed to the BBC it will oppose the lawsuit, but has not yet made its response to the court. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook Dick Barford said he had been informed of the decision by Botswana's secretary for justice, defence and security, Augustine Makgonatsotlhe. Eritrea's footballers played the national team in Botswana on 13 October, losing the game 3-1. Many Eritrean footballers have claimed asylum recently after playing abroad. Six players claimed asylum in Angola in 2007, 12 in Kenya in 2009, and another 18 in Uganda in 2012. A report by the UN human rights council in June accused the Eritrean government of systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations. The situation has prompted hundreds of thousands of people to flee the country, the report said. Eritrea has denied committing human rights abuses and says those leaving the country are economic migrants. The Queen's Swan Marker, David Barber, said incidents had been recorded in Caversham, Hurley, Maidenhead and Marlow. Mr Barber said there had also been reports of egg theft and vandalism. Last year's Swan Upping ceremony recorded that cygnet numbers were down by a third following air rifle attacks. Mr Barber appealed to dog walkers to keep their pets under control near swans and other wildlife. He said: "Sadly, some of the injuries sustained by the parent birds have been fatal, resulting in young cygnets struggling to survive on their own against the ever-present threats of natural predators. "Without the adult birds being present to protect them, many cygnets do not survive such attacks." The Swan Upping ceremony, which dates back to the 12th century, is due to be held this year on 18-22 July. The annual event involves teams of rowers in scarlet uniforms collecting swans and assessing their health on behalf of the Crown, which claims ownership of swans on certain stretches of the Thames and its tributaries. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp wants to boost his attacking options and is willing to make Mane one of the biggest signings in the club's history to do it. Liverpool and Southampton will continue to hold talks over the 24-year-old, with the fee a possible sticking point. The Saints are likely to want around £40m for a player who scored 11 goals in 37 Premier League games last season. This is around £10m more than the top end of Liverpool's price range, so there is still more negotiating to be done before any deal can be concluded. The process might also be delayed by the fact that Southampton are still without a manager following the departure of Ronald Koeman to Everton. Klopp was impressed by Mane, heavily linked with Manchester United during Louis van Gaal's time at Old Trafford, when he scored twice as Southampton came from 2-0 down to beat Liverpool 3-2 at St Mary's on 20 March. Alongside England striker Daniel Sturridge and Belgium youngster Divock Origi, Mane would add pace and a goalscoring threat. Liverpool would seek to recoup much of the money they spend on the Senegal international by selling striker Christian Benteke, who has struggled after his £32m switch from Aston Villa. If he makes the move, Mane will be treading a well-worn path between Southampton and Liverpool. Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Rickie Lambert and Nathaniel Clyne have all moved to Anfield since the summer of 2014. It would also give Saints a handsome profit on a player they bought from Salzburg for £10m two years ago. It would also make Mane the third biggest signing in Liverpool's history behind Benteke and Andy Carroll, who came from Newcastle United in a £35m deal. Southampton have also sold midfield man Victor Wanyama to Tottenham for £11m at the start of what could be another summer of transition at St Mary's. Prince Charles, Prince William and Prime Minister Theresa May were among those who paid tribute to soldiers who fought at Passchendaele, in Belgium. Some 4,000 relatives attended the ceremony at Tyne Cot cemetery, Ypres. In the three months of fighting, half a million Allied and German soldiers were killed, wounded or went missing. Prince Charles addressed the service, saying: "We remember it not only for the rain that fell, the mud that weighed down the living and swallowed the dead, but also for the courage and bravery of the men who fought here." The conflict - officially known as the Third Battle of Ypres - was fought from 31 July 1917 until November that year. It was not only infamous for the number of casualties but the mud. Many drowned in the thick quagmire, caused by weeks of relentless rain. Descendants secured tickets to the event at the cemetery in a ballot run by the government. Former England rugby captain Lewis Moody visited Tyne Cot to pay tribute to his mother's great uncle, who is commemorated there. The 39-year-old told the BBC News Channel it was so "hugely moving" that he broke down in tears when he found his relative Ernest Lovejoy's spot. "The brutality and the blood and the sacrifice that happened here is replaced with beauty, serenity, peace and calm," he said. Asked about the desire of young men wanting to sign up, Mr Moody said you just "could not comprehend it now". Bill Rhodes, whose great great uncle William Rhodes died 100 years ago on the first day of the battle, said it was "very important" for him to be at the ceremony. "I don't think anyone can actually appreciate how horrific it was," he told the BBC News Channel. "I think the conditions were unbelievable and looking at what the guys had to fight in... the rain, the mud. "It is a very nice July day, but 100 years ago today it was very, very different." During the service, military personnel and descendants read out letters and diaries from soldiers who fought at Passchendaele. An account by Private Bert Ferns, of the Lancashire Fusiliers, who fought in the battle, was read by Fusilier Shaun Mclorie. He said: "I staggered up the hill and then dropped over the slope into a sort of gully. "It was here that I froze and became very frightened because a big shell had just burst and blown a group of lads to bits; there were bits of men all over the place, a terrible sight, men just blown to nothing. "I just stood there. It was still and misty, and I could taste their blood in the air." The Duchess of Cambridge laid flowers at the grave of the Unknown Soldier and Prince Charles and King Philippe led the laying of wreaths at the cross of remembrance. The ceremony ended with a fly past by the Belgian air force in a formation that paid tribute to "the missing man". By Kate Palmer, BBC News, at Tyne Cot cemetery Once a battlefield of liquid mud, Tyne Cot is now an immaculately maintained cemetery. Thousands of people have gathered for Monday's service to mark the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele, but their numbers are dwarfed by rows of pristine graves and an imposing stone Memorial to the Missing. "It has hit home, quite how disastrous the death toll was," says Ann Philips, whose uncle Edward Woolley was killed weeks into the battle, age 22, on 22 August 1917. She is wearing a white dress with poppies, as she finds her Uncle Ted's name on the cemetery's memorial, alongside 35,000 other missing soldiers. Many were a similar age to student Daniel Fay, 20, whose great-great-uncle James McBarrons was a labourer in Paisley before the war. He died aged 28. "It makes me think of my group of friends who would have been the same age," he says. A few miles away in Ypres, the city has hosted a weekend of culture, telling stories of heroism and sacrifice in song and plays. But today strikes a solemn, more contemplative tone. Prince Charles also visited a WW1 bunker, which lies about 30ft (9m) below ground in the town of Zonnebeke near Ypres. He met the grandson and great-grandson of Company Sergeant Major Henry Hawtin of 171 Tunnelling Company - one of the men who excavated it. His grandson, retired RAF Regiment Wing Commander Pete Hawtin, 49, said: "Prince Charles was fascinated to meet relatives of a man who had physically been down there. "He just couldn't believe that men would be that far below ground and how they could survive down there and work." The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge began the commemorations on Sunday by joining the Belgian king in paying tribute to the fallen at the Menin Gate in Ypres. The Last Post was played at the end of the service at the memorial, where the names of 54,000 missing soldiers are inscribed. A bugler has played the tune at the gate almost every evening since 1928. "It was phenomenal - a proper teary moment for me," the Duke of Cambridge told Commonwealth War Graves Commission interns on Monday. The grave, in County Durham, was the final resting place of Levi George Price, 16, who died in 2001 and Gareth Price, also 16, who died in 2005. Officers were called to the cemetery on Bridge Street in Metal Bridge near Ferryhill at 11:45 GMT on Saturday. Police described the thefts as "sickening". They added the crime "could be linked" to two recent incidents in Darlington in which vehicles appeared to have been deliberately driven into houses. A stolen lorry was reversed into the bay window of a semi-detached property last week - days after a stolen horsebox smashed into a home on the outskirts of the town. Police have previously said the two incidents with the vehicles could have been linked to an earlier petrol bomb attack. Det Supt Adrian Green said: "This has taken things too far. It is depraved and goes against the religious and cultural beliefs of decent people. "What I'd like to say to the community is this feud has to stop and we need anyone with information about this incident or the wider feud to contact us. "The incidents to date have been targeted and do not involve the wider community directly." It is believed the damage took place overnight on Friday. Gareth Price was found hanging at Lancaster Farms Young Offenders' Institution in January 2005, the day before he was to be sentenced for rape. He was taken to hospital but died the next day. His death was partly due to failures by agencies, an inquest jury said. He had pleaded guilty to attacking a girl in the Formby area of Liverpool. Levi Price also hanged himself, in the garden of the family home in Ferryhill, in 2001. The musician's life as a collector was something he kept almost entirely hidden from public view. But now, nearly 300 works by artists including Damien Hirst, Henry Moore and Marcel Duchamp will go on display at Sotheby's in London, before being sold at auction in November. The paintings are collectively expected to fetch more than £10m. "David Bowie's collection offers a unique insight into the personal world of one of the 20th Century's greatest creative spirits," said Oliver Barker, chairman of Sotheby's Europe. Most of the works are by 20th Century British artists, with pictures by Stanley Spencer, Patrick Caulfield and Peter Lanyon. Born and raised in South London, David Bowie was also drawn to chroniclers of the capital's streets such as Leon Kossoff and Frank Auerbach. In 1998 Bowie told the New York Times, "My God, yeah - I want to sound like that looks," in response to the work of Auerbach. He was also fascinated by British landscapes and collected works by artists including John Virtue. Seven of his monochrome works are included in the sale. But the broad ranging collection is not limited to British art. Among the more maverick works is a piece by Duchamp - A Bruit Secret - in which he placed a ball of string between two brass plates, with an unknown object hidden in the middle. It is expected to fetch up to £250,000. The American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat's graffiti-style painting Air Power is the most valuable lot in the auction, with an estimated value of between £2.5m - £3.5m. Bowie bought the painting a year after he played the role of the artist's mentor, Andy Warhol, in the 1996 film Basquiat. The artist and writer Matthew Collings says the collection reflected Bowie's personality. "I would characterise it as bohemian, romantic, expressive, emotional art. Art that's filled with feelings," he said, adding it was "vivid and exciting" and was "art that calls for a gut reaction, that's visceral, that's immediate, that you feel excited by straight away". Although Bowie told the BBC in 1999 "The only thing I buy obsessively and addictively is art," little had been known about his life as an art collector. He did not buy on the basis of reputation or for investment, but because of his own personal response to each artist and their work. Collings thinks he kept his collection private because "he wasn't pretentious about it". "I think he was an absolutely genuinely enthusiastic collector who didn't collect to be swanky or to big himself up," he said. "He really collected because he had a use for that work and it was a personal use. He looked at those things and they changed his state of being." Bowie loved the art world. In 1994, in an unusual move for a rock superstar, he joined the editorial board of a quarterly arts magazine Modern Painters where he was introduced to the novelist William Boyd. The pair became friends and Boyd said it was clear Bowie was not just "a celebrity on the board - he genuinely had something to contribute". "He did go to art school. He wanted to talk very seriously about artists, painters, themes and movements. So it was not a hobby or a whim, it was a very serious passionate interest." Boyd also thinks the art world appealed to Bowie because it was so different from his music career. "He could be himself, David Jones rather than David Bowie. He found a forum and a world that he could move about in that had nothing to do with his fame. I think for a lot of famous people, if you can find that world, it's actually tremendously gratifying and fulfilling." Bowie went on to launch an art book publishing company called 21. His time there is probably best remembered for one of the most famous art hoaxes in history. He hosted a glamorous launch party at Jeff Koons's studio in Manhattan for a book celebrating the life and work of an American artist called Nat Tate. The catch? He did not exist. He was invented by Boyd. "Without his participation it would never have been as big a hoax as it turned out to be," Boyd said, adding he thinks Bowie enjoyed the challenge of trying to pull it off. "Everybody loves a hoax and I think to fool a bunch of self-important intellectuals is no bad thing from time to time." As well as 267 paintings, more than 120 items of 20th Century furniture and sculpture will also be auctioned. Among them, a striking 1960s stereo cabinet created by the Italian designers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that Bowie listened to music on such an unconventional record player. Proceeds from the sale will go to Bowie's family. Although lack of space, not money, is the reason they have decided to sell. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram at bbcnewsents, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. The man, identified in media as Dean Stinson, said he and a friend had come up with the idea as a joke. The can arrived, tagged and unopened, as the first item on the baggage carousel at Perth Airport after a four-hour journey from Melbourne. The airline, Qantas, said it did not encourage other travellers to follow suit. "This guy's done it and he's won the internet for the day, so we're happy to move on," a spokesman said in a statement to the BBC. Mr Stinson told AFP news agency he was pleased the can had arrived safely on Saturday. "And it was in perfect condition," he added. The airline does not charge an additional fee for checked baggage.

The injury will require surgery, which will sideline the 32-year-old for some time. "I will get through this and I will get back out there," she said on Saturday. Mattek-Sands said she will fly to New York on Sunday to seek further medical advice. "I was coming to the net and all I remember is hearing this pop in my leg. Everything is kinda slow after that," she said. "I remember my knee feeling tight and I took a look at it and something was wrong. I just for a second thought maybe I could adjust it, and I knew it was either dislocated or broken. "It was one of the most painful injures I've had, and I've had a few." Rafael Nadal partially tore his patellar tendon in 2013, with a doctor at the time saying tendon recovery takes "a long time". In an emotional video message, Mattek-Sands thanked fans for their messages of support, and praised her opponent, Sorana Cirstea. Romanian Cirstea comforted Mattek-Sands as she lay on the court, alongside her doubles partner Lucie Safarova and Mattek-Sand's husband, Justin. "I'm a pretty positive person naturally but there's moments when it helps to hear so many positive things from fans," she said. "I remember Sorana talking to me and telling me it's going to be OK and I think that's amazing. "We're all competitors on tour and yet some of these girls are my friends and in that moment, she was there as my friend, no matter that we're in the middle of a match. It means a lot to me."

Mr Mas said he was disappointed and did not rule out early regional elections. The crisis has fanned an independence movement in Catalonia, which produces a fifth of Spain's economic output. Last week, one and a half million people rallied in Barcelona, the regional capital, in what was seen as a show of strength for the pro-independence lobby. Correspondents say Mr Rajoy is wary of any of Spain's regions seeking to break away amid the economic crisis. Early elections in Catalonia could be seen as a referendum on autonomy, piling pressure on the central government. Mr Mas went into talks with the prime minister on granting Catalonia powers to raise and spend its own taxes. Pro-autonomy leaders argue that Catalonia pays a disproportionate level of taxes to Madrid in relation to the central funding it receives. "Rajoy showed his opposition to the proposal for an economic accord for Catalonia because it is not compatible with the Spanish constitution," the prime minister's office said in a statement. He told Mr Mas that the "very serious crisis [would] be overcome through joint responsibility and unity, never through division or institutional instability". "We lost an historic opportunity in the understanding between Catalonia and the rest of Spain," Mr Mas said after the meeting. "I would have liked to be able to say that there was room for negotiation but the head of government himself told me that he saw no way forward for the fiscal pact." "If the negative answer to the fiscal pact is so obvious, then we will have to take decisions in the next days," he added. Asked about the possibility of calling early elections, he said: "All options are open." A decision on early polls could be taken as early as next week when the regional parliament holds its annual debate on the state of Catalonia. Several Spanish newspapers said Mr Mas could call snap elections for 25 November. The Spanish constitution bars any actual referendum on independence for Catalonia, which has its own language. Mr Rajoy's centre-right Popular Party won a resounding victory in Spain's general election in November, in a vote dominated by the debt crisis. Ex-England international Salisbury has been appointed as new head coach of England's physical disability team. Hunter will continue his work as coach of England's visually impaired side, now in a full-time capacity. The ECB's head of disability cricket Ian Martin said: "This is an important step change in disability cricket." He added: "I'm proud that we are the first international cricket board to make such a step. "It will increase the capacity of our coaches to work with performance squads and is further evidence of the improvement and culture shift within our national squads." Hunter recently led the England's visually impaired side to the semi-finals of the Blind World Cup in India, where they lost to Pakistan. Salisbury's first assignment will be to prepare England's physical disability squad for games this summer as the side continues to build towards a world tournament in England in 2019. "I am very humbled and honoured, especially knowing that we are the first two coaches in the world to be working full-time in disability cricket," he said. "This will create an environment that puts this team at the forefront of disability cricket in England and the world." 22 June 2016 Last updated at 14:34 BST During a walk with his Portugal team mates he was asked a question by a journalist. Ronaldo grabbed the journalist's mic and flung it into the lake in Lyon, France. The three-time world player of the year, has failed to score from 22 opportunities in the two games. Portugal enters the game in third place with only two points after drawing with Iceland and Austria so far in France. Pictures courtesy: AP/CMTV Hooker Herring deputised for Best on numerous occasions last season, while Trimble is Ulster's most capped player. "Rob and Andrew are two outstanding individuals who have the respect of everyone within the organisation," said Ulster Director of Rugby Les Kiss. "The shared captaincy model will give us more flexibility and continuity." Winger Trimble has amassed a record 206 appearances for Ulster, having made his debut for the Irish province against Cardiff back in 2005, while Herring joined Ulster in 2012. Best hinted that he may relinquish his position following the team's 30-18 Pro12 semi-final defeat by Leinster at the RDS in May. "I'm delighted they have agreed to take on the captaincy. In the current landscape it's hard to guarantee that one player will be available all of the time," explained Kiss. "Rory and I have been in discussions about this since the end of last season and we felt it was the perfect time for him to assist us in developing this new leadership structure. His experience of captaining both Ulster and Ireland last season will continue to be invaluable for us as a group. "We have strong experience across our squad that will support Rob and Andrew by driving standards off the field and assisting with tactics and decision-making in training and in match situations." Commenting on his appointment, Herring said: "To be able to share the captaincy with someone like Andrew is massively exciting, and together, with the support of the many other leaders in the squad, we can make strides to deliver the success that the players, staff and supporters strive for." Trimble was equally proud to be named as captain: "To be named as captain of my home province is extremely humbling and this is without doubt one of the proudest moments of my career." Ulster will open their new season with a Pro12 game against the Dragons at Kingspan Stadium on 2 September. The province has been grouped with Clermont Auvergne, Exeter Chiefs and Bordeaux in Pool 5 of the European Champions Cup. Mr Trump's starkly pro-Israel campaign rhetoric appeared to upend bedrock US positions on Middle East peace. His chaotic transition has only added to the confusion. So far it's been like Kremlinology, says Michael Koplow of the Israel Policy Forum, an American-Jewish Organization that advocates for a two-state solution to the conflict. He's referring to the Soviet-era practice of reading between the lines of official photographs, trying to figure out "who's on top, who's on the bottom, whether career officials worked on this or were frozen out. There's no direct chain of command so far as I can tell." The competing cast of characters is led by Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, an orthodox Jew with personal and religious ties to Israel who has not spoken publicly about his political views. Mr Trump has also included among his advisers ideologically driven, pro-Israel figures who reject the notion of a Palestinian state and support the building of Jewish settlements on Israeli-occupied land expected to form part of that state. His cabinet posts, on the other hand, hold more traditional views. Defence Secretary James Mattis is on record warning about the dangers to Palestinian statehood posed by continued settlement building. "Either (Israel) ceases to be a Jewish state or you say the Arabs don't get to vote - apartheid," he said at a security forum in 2013. And new the US secretary of state, former ExxonMobil chief executive Rex Tillerson, endorsed the two-state solution during his confirmation hearing. The picture is complicated by continued staffing vacancies in second- and third-tier positions at the State Department and the National Security Council, which together run the nuts and bolts of Middle East policy. The lack of direction at that level contributed to disjointed US responses on recent Israeli announcements of a settlement construction spree. After initial radio silence from the White House, an administration official speaking to the Jerusalem Post newspaper denounced the plans as "unilateral" moves that would "undermine" peace efforts - language from a State Department draft based on long-standing US policy. The next day the White House issued a formal statement that was gentler in tone. "While we don't believe the existence of settlements is an impediment to peace," it said, "the construction of new settlements or the expansion of existing settlements beyond their current borders may not be helpful in achieving that goal… the Trump administration has not taken an official position on settlement activity". That ambiguity has frustrated some US officials. Even during the transition between Republican Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Democrat Hillary Clinton, "we still produced things that said settlements are bad, that we believe in two states living side by side", said one. "We can't even say that anymore, nothing is for sure." Ghaith al Omari, an adviser to the Palestinian negotiating team during the transition from Bill Clinton to George W Bush, counters that "upheavals are normal" in transitions, noting that high-level contacts between the Clinton administration and the Palestinians nearly vanished in the first months under Mr Bush as he formulated his policy, similar to the situation now. This is uncomfortable for the Palestinians, he said, but "not yet a crisis", although he admitted the best they could hope for was "do no harm". Palestinian Authority (PA) officials are extremely uncomfortable about the lack of contact, especially President Mahmoud Abbas, who famously claimed to be the first world leader President Barack Obama called when he took office. So far this White House hasn't responded to Mr Abbas' attempts at contact, although Israel's Haaretz newspaper reported that the PA intelligence chief did meet some of Trump's advisers last week. The key question is which parties will have the most influence in Middle East decision-making. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has no experience in diplomacy or government and has yet to name a deputy, a post that will be crucial in determining how much weight his department wields on this issue. Meanwhile, Mr Trump has empowered two of his Jewish lawyers, Jason Greenblatt and David Friedman, both of whom have extreme right-wing nationalist views. He's named Mr Greenblatt his special representative for international negotiations, and nominated Mr Friedman as ambassador to Israel. That doesn't mean he necessarily shares their views. "The two lawyers closest to him happened to be religious, orthodox and right-wing on Israel. That's the coincidence," says Mr Koplow. "But because that's who surrounds him the views that come through are very right-wing on Israel." Mr Trump's chief White House strategist, Steve Bannon, brings in yet another dimension. He's the former head of Breitbart News, which he has described as a platform for the alternative right, a broad movement that encompasses both extreme conservatives and white supremacists. The website supports a hard-right nationalist position on Israel. But it has also been accused of attacking American Jews it deems not sufficiently pro-Israel. It is not clear how close Mr Bannon will be to Israeli/Palestinian policy making. But a White House statement on the Holocaust that failed to mention Jews rang alarm bells, and prompted a rare riposte on Twitter from Israel's US ambassador, Ron Dermer. "Israel is trying to accentuate the positive right now and not get into arguments with the administration," says David Makovsky, who advised the Obama administration on Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. "But if this becomes a trend, I think Israel is likely to take a different tone." On settlements, President Trump has moderated the tone of Candidate Trump, who said Israel should keep building. Observers are beginning to expect a policy similar to that of George W Bush, which translated into building in settlement blocs that are expected to become part of Israel in a peace deal, but not outside them. In this shift Mr Trump seems to have been influenced by his consultations with Sunni Arab leaders. They cannot tolerate an Israeli construction binge in the occupied territories but have quietly found common cause with Israel in a shared desire to combat the Islamic State group and to counter Iran. It is a covert partnership on which Mr Netanyahu wants to build more overtly, and may seek US help to do so, says Mr Makovsky. The potential for wrapping Israeli-Palestinian issues into a regional security arrangement is a long shot, although not too far from where the State Department under John Kerry left off. And it seems to appeal to the billionaire businessman, ever seduced by the prospect of clinching the "ultimate deal". The White House has said that Mr Trump "hopes to achieve peace throughout the Middle East". It was a sentiment he underlined with this comment in a recent interview: "Maybe there is a chance for an even bigger peace than just Israel and the Palestinians." Joining it will be Chubby Checker's 1960's dance hit The Twist and Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. Each year, 25 "culturally" or "historically" significant recordings are added to the registry, established in 2000. Garfunkel, 71, said he was thrilled and flattered to see the work preserved. The Sound of Silence, written after the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, initially flopped, only becoming a hit after it was re-edited. Its subsequent success prompted the duo to reunite and record another album entitled Sounds of Silence in 1966, which Garfunkel said was a life changer for him and his partner, Simon. "When you look at the little mesh, wire microphone and you address people on the other side of the mic, you hope that your performance will be special, and you hope that it will have lasting power," He added that he remembers thinking in the 60s that "if we do really good and give a very special performance to these great Paul Simon songs, we might last right into the next century and be appreciated". The recording that received the highest number of public nominations for this year's registry was The Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd's groundbreaking 1973 album. The library said it was an example of "brilliant, innovative production in service of the music". The selections, which span from 1918 to 1980 also feature recordings that capture the political climate of the period, including Jimmie Davis' You Are My Sunshine (1940) which became Davis' campaign song while running for governor in Louisiana. It became one of the most popular country songs of all time and the state song of Louisiana in 1977. Other recordings chosen include the soundtrack to the popular 1977 movie Saturday Night Fever, starring John Travolta and featuring the Bee Gees, which revived the disco craze and the original 1949 cast album for South Pacific. The classical pianist Van Cliburn's Cold War performance when he won the prestigious Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition at 23 also was selected. The American musician who performed for every US president since Harry Truman, died in February.

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

Avon and Somerset Police said it has received seven reports of people on motorbikes throwing bottles of flammable liquid since Thursday. A van, two bikes and a portable toilet were among the items torched around the Bedminster area. A police spokesman said it was "sheer luck" that no-one had been injured. On Thursday evening, police received reports of five people on motorbikes riding around Dame Emily Park starting fires. A few minutes later, two riders were spotted throwing a "fireball" at a parked motorbike. Later, a group of teenagers reported two motorcyclists threw a lit glass bottle at them. On Friday, officers were called out to a van fire on Elmdale Road and bike on fire on North Street. Det Sgt Jack Tween said: "The suspects have clearly given no thought to their safety or the safety of others. "We would appeal for anyone who may have information on any of these incidents to contact us." The auction for second-generation (2G) mobile phone licences raised 94bn rupees ($1.7bn; £1bn). The government had wanted closer to 400bn rupees. Many companies had complained that prices were set too high. An earlier sale of the licences was annulled by the Supreme Court after a corruption probe. The previous licences were issued by former minister A Raja, who is accused of mis-selling the bandwidth in what has been called India's biggest corruption scandal. Mr Raja, who is currently on trial for fraud, has denied any wrongdoing. Government auditors say the scandal cost the country about $40bn (£24.5bn). The auction has been marred with controversy as firms not only complained about the high base prices, but also alleged that the limited amount of bandwidth being offered had deterred many bidders. "The limited amount of spectrum... was guaranteed to have a very detrimental impact on the auction," said Rajan Mathews, secretary general of the Cellular Operators Association of India. "We said that the high reserve price would ensure that limited players come into the bid and that is exactly what we have seen." In a big blow to the government, four circles, including Mumbai and Delhi did not attract any bids. There were also no takers for the all-India licence. "All in all, a big embarrassment for the Indian government, but one could see it coming," said Prashant Singhal, telecom industry leader, at Ernst & Young India. The lacklustre response to the 2G auction contrasts with the 2010 sale of faster third-generation (3G) licences that fetched the government nearly $15bn. The improvement for Diageo is partly driven by growth in Spanish bars and clubs. This previously saw a sharp fall in sales with the country's economic downturn. Germany and Austria also saw a strong growth in demand for Scotch, but sales are weaker in Asia, particularly Korea, Thailand and airport duty-free shops. The London-headquartered drinks firm reported a 4% growth in Scotch whisky sales by volume, and a 6% growth in the comparable value of those sales. Its figures looked much better through the impact of the weakened British pound. That meant there was a 20% rise in the reported value of sales. Because foreign sales for the world's biggest distiller of spirits are converted back into sterling, it saw total sales for the second half of 2016 rise by 15% to £6.4bn, and operating profit was up by 28% to top £2bn. The total volume of production fell by 1%. Diageo represents about 40% of Scotch whisky production, and Scotch represents 27% of all the drinks the company sells. Its reported half-year growth was strongest for two of its main brands - Johnnie Walker and Buchanan's. Its other brands include Bells, Talisker and Dalwhinnie. In the important US market, Johnnie Walker benefited from stronger promotion, with sales up 8%. In both Nigeria and Mexico, there was 22% growth for Johnnie Walker sales. Chinese demand for Scotch whisky had stalled, with official disapproval of the extravagant corporate gift and hospitality culture. But the latest figures for July to December show it back to 5% growth. Korea had also been a country seeing strong growth in demand, but the Windsor brand has fallen sharply as demand grows for a rival, lower-alcohol, locally-produced drink. Other Diageo products to do well in the second half of last year were US and Canadian whiskey. There was sharp growth, from a low base, in its tequila sales. Vodka revenue fell 2% worldwide, and was only growing in Africa. In Britain, Diageo's sales were flat. The strongest brand was Tanqueray, up by 42%, reflecting the growth in premium gins, and Diageo's efforts to improve its distribution. Bailey's Irish Cream rose 2%, helped by Christmas promotions. Guinness, the leading beer produced by Diageo, saw flat sales. Ivan Menezes, chief executive of Diageo, said: "Highlights this half include improved performance in our US spirits business and across our Scotch portfolio, driven by our focus on marketing with impact, innovating at scale and expanding our route to consumer. "Progress on productivity supports growth, margin improvement and consistent strong cash-flow generation, as well as improving our agility." In Scotland, Diageo runs 29 distilleries and two bottling plants at Leven in Fife and Shieldhall, Glasgow. The secure system, known as Airwave, helps emergency services to communicate. It failed from 09:00 to 09:40 BST, the BBC's Danny Shaw said. Airwave Solutions Ltd has confirmed there was "an issue with intermittent communications". The Met Police said the problem was believed to have been a power failure. London Ambulance Service said it lost Airwave for less than 40 minutes and the impact on operations was minimal. A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police service: "Maintaining our service to the public and officer safety were our first considerations during the outage period, and measures were put in place to ensure it was maintained." It said Airwave was putting measures in place to avoid any repeat of the problem. "We were very lucky to avoid anything too bad," a police source told BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw earlier. The Barbarians face New Zealand at Twickenham on 4 November. It was suggested the Barbarians could select a team similar to the Lions side that drew the series in New Zealand. But the likes of Maro Itoje, Owen Farrell and Mako Vunipola will not be released from the England camp. "England's players will be focusing on preparing for England's matches ahead of the Old Mutual Wealth Series," an RFU spokesperson told the BBC. There were 10 Englishmen in the Lions' 23-man squad that drew 15-15 with New Zealand at Eden Park in the third Test to draw the series 1-1. Eddie Jones' side play Argentina, Australia and Samoa in successive weekends in November. Honey-Mae Lyons, 19, waived her right to anonymity in a bid to encourage other rape victims to speak out. Muhammed Ekici, 24, and Serham Ozkebapci, 25, were jailed after admitting what they had done. Ms Lyons said she now knows that no-one has "the right to take advantage" and urged others to come forward. Live: 'Telling police wasn't scary' "From the moment I realised I had been sexually assaulted, I was convinced it was my fault and I felt embarrassed to tell people what happened. "I expected them to wave a disapproving finger at me and assume that it was my fault because I had been drinking," she said. "Now I know that no matter how drunk someone is, no matter what state they are in, nobody has the right to take advantage of them. "I would urge anyone who finds themselves in my situation to report it. "What those men did to me has had such an impact on my personal life that I cannot find any words to describe how horrific the last eight months have been. "Reporting it allowed me to accept that I was a victim of sexual assault and rape and knowing these men are receiving justice has helped me slowly let go of the past and begin to move on with my life." At Norwich Crown Court, Ekici was jailed for seven years for rape and Ozkebapci was jailed for three years, six months, for sexual assault at their flat in Parkside Place. Ms Lyons was out with friends in Cambridge in the early hours of 30 July when the attack took place. CCTV images show Ekici and Ozkebapci carrying her across Parker's Piece to their flat. The teenager, who was 18 at the time, said she had no memory of what had happened when she woke up there the next morning. When she realised some of her clothes were on inside out, Ms Lyons knew something was wrong, so she reported the incident to the police. A police investigation discovered photographs of her on the men's mobile phones, with messages boasting about what they had done. DNA samples matched those of Ekici and Ozkebapci. Det Con Becky Cohen said the men had "preyed on a defenceless and vulnerable young woman". Both Petravicius, 20, and Zanzala, 18, are regulars for their respective clubs at Under-21 level but are yet to make their first-team debuts. Petravicius has won five caps for Lithuania, and appeared as a substitute against England last October. Both players were signed in time for the match against Barnet on Saturday. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The attacking midfielder signed for the Bluebirds from Bristol City for a fee which could rise to £2.9m. Tomlin, 28, played six Premier League games for previous club Bournemouth and he believes Cardiff can win promotion from the Championship this season. "This is a massive club and my ambition is to get back in the Premier League," he told BBC Wales Sport. "So when I spoke to the gaffer [Neil Warnock], it was an easy decision. He's an unbelievable manager. "For me, this season, you've got to be aiming for play-offs at least. With the depth and quality we've got, there's no reason why not. "Just because the other clubs are spending a lot more money, it means nothing. Just look at Leicester winning the Premier League." Although Tomlin's spell in the top flight with Bournemouth was short-lived, he has enjoyed several productive seasons in the Championship with clubs such as Middlesbrough and Peterborough. Cardiff manager Neil Warnock described him as his "number one" target this summer and, after a Championship relegation scrap with Bristol City last season, Tomlin hopes to be challenging for promotion in the coming campaign. "Yeah, 100%. I had to make the right move this time," he added. "Speaking to the gaffer and watching how they did last season, he said this was one type of player that he needed. "He's put a lot of faith in me so hopefully I can show him this season." Tomlin has spent the majority of his career playing in the '10' role between the centre-forward and midfield. He has 99 club goals to his name and, with Cardiff's top scorer last term Kenneth Zohore to play alongside, Tomlin hopes to be a creative force as well. "I'd say for me, I'll try and get 10 goals a season but I'd also like to get 10 or 15 assists," he said. "Almost every striker I've played with has got 15 or 20 goals a season, so hopefully Ken can get that this season." A firm in north Wales wants to bring the PooPrints service from the United States to the UK with up to 15 councils reportedly interested in the scheme. Councils could make owners in problem areas register their dogs to a database which involves a mouth swab taken. Then, DNA could be taken from mess left on a street, path or grass and used to find a match on the database. Gary Downie, managing director of Streetkleen Bio in Ruthin, Denbighshire, believes local authorities can use new powers granted by the Antisocial Behaviour and Policing Act 2014 to force dog owners to comply. "The purpose of the system is to get cleaner, safer open spaces," he said. Councils the company is in talks with include Kingston-upon-Thames in south-west London, Aberdeen and Cheshire East. Ursula von der Leyen, a close ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel, was accused of copying several passages without attribution by a law professor who published his findings online. Similar accusations in the past forced two German cabinet members to resign. Germans are due to vote in regional elections on Sunday. But Mrs Merkel's party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), was spared embarrassment ahead of the vote after the Hanover Medical School's senate decided against revoking Ms von der Leyen's title. School President Christopher Baum said Ms von der Leyen's thesis did contain plagiarised material, but he said there had been no intent to deceive. "This was a mistake, not misconduct," Mr Baum said, quoted by Die Zeit newspaper (in German). Berlin-based law professor Gerhard Dannemann made the allegations on the crowd-sourced plagiarism hunting website VroniPlag (in German). Mr Dannemann claimed to have found "elements of plagiarism" on 27 of the 62 pages of Ms von der Leyen's 1990 dissertation. The politician responded by asking her university to have her thesis evaluated. Mrs Merkel has already lost two cabinet ministers after their respective universities withdrew their doctoral titles following plagiarism claims. In 2011, then-Defence Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg resigned after he was found to have copied large parts of his thesis. And in 2013, Education Minister Annette Schavan was forced to step down after her alma mater withdrew her degree. However Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who was accused of plagiarism in 2013, was later cleared by an investigating committee. James Percival, 66, said he gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to newborn Jonathan Percival in the vicarage in Freckleton, Lancashire, in 2014. But Ruth Percival, 30, said she had not seen him make any attempts to revive the baby. The inquest was halted in October when new medical evidence led the coroner to refer the case to prosecutors. In March, the Crown Prosecution Service said there remained "insufficient evidence" to charge anyone. The hearing at Blackpool Town Hall was told that Miss Percival, who has some special educational needs, visited her GP surgery in August 2014 to arrange to terminate a pregnancy, but had been unable to have one because she was too far gone. She agreed she had put her "head in the sand" about the pregnancy and had not told her parents because she was "scared" of their reaction. Mr Percival, who at the time was the vicar of Holy Trinity CE Church in Freckleton, said after she returned home from work in the afternoon on 25 November she spent time in the downstairs toilet. He said at about 15:30 GMT he saw her come out of the bathroom carrying a towel covered with what he believed to be excrement and went outside with her to put it in a bin "when Jonathan's leg came in sight". He told the court: "I said to Ruth, 'this is a baby, you can't put a baby in the bin'." He said he placed the baby on the towel on the floor outside and attempted to resuscitate him. He said the baby "was very, very cold, absolutely lifeless", adding: "The baby was quite clearly dead." The inquest heard that medical evidence showed the baby was alive at the time he was born. Miss Percival said she thought she saw the baby trying to take a breath, but also said: "I kind of thought I did have a miscarriage because to me the baby was dead when he came out of me." Miss Percival and her father gave evidence that Jonathan had the umbilical cord wrapped round his neck. The hearing is due to continue on Tuesday. 3 March 2016 Last updated at 09:08 GMT It's a site used by the likes of President Obama, Bono, Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton when they have something serious to get off their chests. The BBC's North America technology reporter Dave Lee met Medium's founder, Evan Williams - who also co-founded Twitter. Read more: Inside Medium: An attempt to bring civility to the internet They have so many reasons to be excited about this summer's move to the Olympic Stadium and what it means for the Hammers' future. But on top of that, there is a real togetherness at the club at the moment. The fans and the board are totally behind the manager Slaven Bilic, and they have a group of players who give everything every week. A top-six finish is still on and, with the quality and experience in their team as well as their will to win, I do not see their season just fizzling out. It shows how far the Hammers have come that they expected to beat Manchester United in this week's FA Cup quarter-final replay, and I think they will be disappointed that they did not win the tie in the first game at Old Trafford. The reason they were so confident ahead of Wednesday's 2-1 defeat was that until then they had not been beaten at home for almost eight months - 16 games in all competitions since 22 August. Media playback is not supported on this device All the emotion of their final season at the Boleyn Ground after 112 years definitely played its part in that incredible run, but it would not have happened without Bilic's arrival last summer. He was seen by some as a gamble because he had not managed in the Premier League before but I think he is the perfect fit as Hammers boss. West Ham are a club whose fans do not want to lose their traditional playing style - 'the West Ham way' - which is all about attacking football that is easy on the eye. Bilic buys into all of that. He spent money very wisely in the summer and some of the stuff I have seen them play under him this season has been incredible. He has brought in these brilliant individuals like Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini, but has got the team ethic right too. Media playback is not supported on this device I loved my two years as a West Ham player but I soon realised that some of their supporters would not even mind being relegated as long as their team is playing the right kind of football. To say they are not bothered at all about winning is wrong, but they want to be entertained by players who will get them out of their seats and on to their feet. Even if it gets results, they do not want dull or boring football, which is what they were seeing under Bilic's predecessor Sam Allardyce. That is why a lot of fans turned on him. Allardyce can hold his head high because he did the job he was brought in to do, which was to get West Ham promoted and stabilise them in the Premier League, but Bilic has taken them to the next level now. Statistics don't always do justice to a team's style of play, but here they help to show how the Hammers have improved in every attacking area this season compared to last. The Hammers are more effective going forward under Bilic but they are also well-drilled at the back and look solid whoever is playing at centre-half. They have not become any more open. Their goals - and wins - dried up a bit when Dimitri Payet was injured in November but they remained hard to beat during that period. At the start of the season, West Ham earned some impressive wins at Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool by playing on the break and not worrying about possession. But that is not the only way they can play. There have been 12 league games home and away in 2015-16 where they have had more possession than the opposition, and they have only lost two of them. If something is not working, Bilic will change it - whether it is players or formations - and he is versatile with his tactics too. Media playback is not supported on this device Having Andy Carroll back at full fitness has given him another option and I do not just mean pumping balls into the box. Yes, Carroll is very effective at getting on the end of crosses and either heading for goal, knocking the ball down for runners into the box or making sure defenders cannot clear their lines properly. But he can play on the floor too, and is great at holding the ball up, like I tried to do as a player. Carroll has been great as an impact substitute in recent weeks but the way West Ham finish games has always been impressive since Bilic took charge, and their late flurry of chances against United was another example of how they never give up. They could not quite force an equaliser on Wednesday because of the brilliance of United keeper David de Gea but they scored late goals against Wolves and Liverpool on their way to the quarter-finals. In the league, only Tottenham have earned more points from losing positions this season. I can only see West Ham being stronger next season although it might take a while to adjust to the Olympic Stadium - especially for some of the fans. The players will have to get used to it too, because the atmosphere will be different to the Boleyn Ground. There is no way around that, sadly. I loved playing there for West Ham, especially in night matches. We always fancied ourselves against anyone under the lights, with a little bit of dew on the pitch and with the fans getting right behind the team. It was electric. It is an amazing ground that I always enjoyed going back to, but I cannot wait to go to watch them at their new stadium because it is going to be very special, too. To compete with the best, you have to move forward and move with the times. The bigger attendances at the Olympic Stadium will allow the club to grow and right now they are in very good hands. John Hartson was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. The paper's Facebook page has been "inundated" with good wishes for Fr Brian D'Arcy. "Thanks for the memories," says Fr D'Arcy, who is leaving his native Bellanaleck to take up a new position in County Down. As well as being a parish priest, the 72-year-old is well known for his media appearances and his radio show. He tells the paper that it's the "people of Fermanagh" he will miss most, from all sections of the community. "You only get so many years in one place and my time in Enniskillen has been stretched out for as long as possible. "I'm not fully prepared to leave and will be heartbroken to do so. If the Graan (his current parochial home) is still here when I die it's where I want to be buried," said Fr D'Arcy. Also in the paper, what's in a name? Since the new Castle Basin Promenade in Enniskillen was completed in 2015, there had been calls to give the area its "proper" name "The Broad Meadows", instead of "Broadmeadows" as it is currently named. It may seem like a minor difference, but, according to some locals, a rose by any other name would not smell as sweet. Fred Ternan of Lough Erne Heritage said the addition of an "s" is incorrect and "that's the height of it". His argument is that, living in a historical town, it is important to keep facts right and not "tweak" little things. "Otherwise we could lose the whole story eventually," he says. A compelling argument Fred, however, Waterways Ireland has robustly responded to the criticism. They said that their search of the Public Record Northern Ireland (PRONI) maps shows the place name has "varied over the years from Broadmeadows and Broad Meadow". Craigavon is to get a new state of the art leisure centre, according to the Lurgan Mail. The Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough council (ABC) has signed off plans for the £30m project. The target date is 2020 - and the paper says it is the "biggest capital project" ever undertaken by the local authority. "I'm delighted to say that we've agreed a new interior design for the leisure centre," said Lord Mayor Alderman Gareth Wilson. "It's a very ambitious build and represents many months of planning, extensive consultation, revisions and further consultation." A Ballymena woman has been hoisted by her own petard in an escape attempt from police, reports the Larne Times. Police officers paid Kelly McKee 25, a visit to her Hill Street home when she failed to appear at Ballymena Magistrates' Court last month. McKee, however, attempted to flee through a fire escape and in doing so, managed to break her ankle. She then appeared in court on crutches. Will it be full steam ahead for a new ferry route from Larne? The paper reports that plans are afoot for just that. The paper reports that the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is considering a move from Belfast to the local port and confirmed that "berthing tests" have already taken place. Now the company wants to know what people think and have put the idea out to public consultation. There's a hay phenomenon on the Tyrone Constitution's front page. Two giant teddy bear hay bales adorn the front page. They are so big they've got about six children sitting on the arms and knees of the bears. They are part of the Teddy Bears' Picnic-themed annual festival in Newtonstewart which is taking place at the end of August. The paper also reports that after "years of lobbying" a popular beauty spot in the Valley may receive some funding to transform the area. Knockmany Forest four miles outside the village of Augher, which contains the historical Anya's Tomb, is described as in a "somewhat neglected state". The paper reports that the area is "wildly overgrown" and a lake which has potential remains "inaccessible". Mid Ulster council confirmed that Eskra Community Association is "seeking funding from Sport NI, having satisfied the initial qualification". The proposal includes improved recreational access and paths together with visitor facilities. There's a master craftsman on the front of the Strabane Weekly. Harness maker Gordon Colhoun, from Sion Mills, threads flax into the leather with "utmost precision". He is one of the few harness makers still working in Ireland and tells the paper he fears traditional skills like this are at risk of being lost. The paper also reports on a man from Strabane who's no stranger to success. Athletics coach, Stephen Maguire, steered the Great Britain relay team to a stunning 4 x 100m gold at the World Championships in London on Saturday. Stephen also coached Ireland's Paralympics star Jason Smyth for many years. Brexit plans for the border lead the front page of the Newry Reporter, where many locals cross the border daily. The paper reports on the UK proposals that there could be CCTV vehicle registration and technology instead of old fashioned customs posts. However, a Newry-based anti-Brexit campaigner warned that such plans would be "almost impossible to police". Tom Kelly, who chaired the campaign group NI Stronger In Europe, said: "I think the British government will try to get away with some technology border with cameras and registration recognition and so on. "The problem with this is that you have to put them up along the border and with 400 routes along the border, it's going to be pretty hard to police. " Also in the paper - a local man who's heading east,. Graham McCamley, who has trekked all around the world raising money for different charities, is taking on the Great Wall of China to raise money for the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. The paper reports that Graham has also raised £12,000 for Action Cancer through previous treks in Egypt, the Grand Canyon, Cuba, the Sahara Desert and Machu Picchu in Peru. Graham sets off on his latest adventure in September and will walk between 25-30 miles each day, camping on the wall on some nights, and staying in nearby villages other nights. "It's going to be a challenge, but I am looking forward to it," said Graham. Karl Bunster, 37, from Hastings, was last seen in Mann Street in the town on 17 December last year. He failed to appear before magistrates on 30 December to answer two charges of assault by beating. Ben Walton, 48, and Stacey McClymont, 28, both of Cowick Hill, Exeter, in Devon, are charged with murdering him between 16 and 19 December. Mr Walton is also charged with two counts of possession of a class B drug, possessing a stun gun and possession of ammunition for a firearm without a certificate. Ms McClymont is also charged with one count of possession of a class B drug. They are due to appear before Hastings magistrates on Thursday. Accounts for the year ending June 2015 show an increase in turnover of £1.6 million, up 18.4% on the previous year. The FAW said the increase in turnover was due to Uefa's centralised sale of Television rights for qualifying matches. The company made a post-tax profit of £20,000 compared to a loss of £29,000 for the previous year. The FAW said the small profit was due to the governing body's strategy of using revenue to help fund all domestic and international football in Wales. Wales have qualified for this summer's Euro 2016 finals in France, their first appearance at a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup. Media playback is not supported on this device Ford, 23, was contracted to Bath until the end of the 2017-18 season, but Tigers have bought him out of the final year of his deal. Ford emerged through Leicester's academy but left to join Bath in 2013. Fellow fly-half Burns, 26, joined the Tigers from Gloucester in 2014 after starting his career with Bath. Ford made his Leicester debut as a 16-year-old in November 2009, winning the Premiership and the Anglo-Welsh Cup before his switch to Bath, where he played in the European Challenge Cup final in 2014 and the Premiership final in 2015. He won his 32nd England cap in the Six Nations win over Wales last weekend. "This hasn't been an easy decision for me to make, but I feel it is the best one for me at this time," said Ford, who initially moved to the Rec when his father Mike - now head coach of Top 14 side Toulon - was on the coaching staff. "I've really enjoyed my time at Bath and have worked with some incredible players and coaches." Tigers head coach Aaron Mauger told his club's website: "George has become one of the leading players in his position in Europe and is still a young man with a lot of rugby ahead him. "While delighted to be able to bring in George, we are disappointed to lose Freddie who has been an outstanding player for us in the last three years." Burns first emerged as an England international during his five years at Gloucester, making his debut at Twickenham against New Zealand in 2012. He won the last of his five England caps against the All Blacks in June 2014, and said he was delighted to return to Bath. "The opportunity for me to represent my hometown club is one I have dreamt of from the day I started playing rugby," he told Bath's website. Bath's director of rugby Todd Blackadder said: "We are really excited to be working with Freddie next season. "He is a fantastic player, who has really developed into an all-encompassing fly-half in the last couple of years and I'm looking forward to seeing that fit into our game here. "We are naturally disappointed that George has decided to leave. He is a great player and I have enjoyed working with him." The existing Aberdeen division will join with Aberdeenshire and Moray to become the North East division, headquartered in Aberdeen. The new division is expected to come into force in January. Assistant Chief Constable Derek Robertson said: "We believe the creation of a single division will mean a more flexible approach." They found that trying to unlock the phone or tablet with an abnormally long password caused the lock screen to crash in certain conditions. The flaw was limited to Android Lollipop, the most recent version of the mobile operating system. Google issued a patch for its Nexus devices on Wednesday. About 21% of Android users run affected versions of the operating system. After crashing the lock screen, the researchers were able to access the phone's data and apps. The vulnerability could not be exploited if people had chosen a lock pattern or Pin code instead of a password. While Google is rolling out its fix for Nexus, other phone manufacturers are responsible for distributing the software to their own handsets. On releasing the patch, Google said it had not yet detected anybody exploiting the flaw. Sir Howard was 17 when he walked in to Manchester Town Hall to start his first job as a junior clerk. His first task? Pot washing. The boy from Cheetham Hill would walk out 46 years later credited with transforming the city. "Ever since I was a boy I knew I wanted to make a difference to the people of Manchester", he said. "Growing up in my community, you had a social conscience." Sir Howard said 1970s Manchester "still had soul, but had lost its way. It had been left behind by globalisation. I was looking for the opportunity to change all of that." Opportunities can come in the most grotesque of forms, and in 1996 the Manchester bomb was his. Some people call the IRA explosion the best thing that ever happened to Manchester. He disagrees. "It was an appalling time in every Mancunian's life. It was devastating. It took us a long time to recover." Sir Howard was appointed chief executive in 1998 and remembers a time of political compromise. "We were a staunch Labour council but we knew the value of working with the Conservatives. "We knew it was time to open up to market forces and investment and working across political lines. We put Manchester first." It worked and by 2003 Manchester was aesthetically transformed. The city council became the first local authority to win the RIBA client of the year. It was also the year he was knighted - though his biggest career sadness is that his parents were not alive to witness the day. Just don't talk to him about the 2002 Commonwealth Games. "The whole period leading up to the games was sheer agony for me. Securing and maintaining funding was unbelievably stressful. I couldn't wait for them to finish." Though they did lead to one positive outcome for him - his beloved Manchester City was able to move to what became the City of Manchester stadium. Did he declare personal interest in securing the move? "I didn't need to. My love for the club is as good as written on my flesh. And besides, City was the only show in town to make the stadium permanent." When asked about his biggest achievement he is keen to talk about the regeneration of Hulme. "It was 15 years of engaging with residents to make sure we got it right. Erecting something like Beetham Tower is much easier. This was transforming communities, people's lives. Look at it now." Does he think his city can continue to grow at the same rate it has for the last 20 years? "Undoubtedly. There is a growth path which is unprecedented. My question is how fast, and how much more we'll grow? Not if." Sir Howard says Mancunians have not seen the last of him, but there are things he wants to do with his family, "while I still have something in the tank." And how will he remember his fellow Mancunians? "Proud, passionate, edgy, and want to do the best for themselves and for the city. That's the motto I live by. I hope I've done my best for Manchester." The Tyrone captain, 32, insists he has no plans to retire in the wake of the county's All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Kerry in Croke Park last month. Cavanagh is Tyrone's longest-serving player, winning three All-Irelands and four Ulster titles since making his debut in 2002. He expects manager Mickey Harte, who is in discussions with the county board about his future, to remain in charge. Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Cavanagh said he wished to play on "as long as my body can hold out for another season". "I feel there is a good team in the county at the moment and a team that is capable of challenging for honours. "If my body holds out and the management team wants me for another year I'll certainly make myself available." He believes Mickey Harte, whom he has played under since 2003, will still be in charge next year despite recent doubts about his future. "We didn't have any major silverware this year but in our eyes we had a pretty good year and feel we're building and can challenge for trophies in 2016. "I don't foresee a change in the management, but at the same time, it's not within our hands. "It's the county board's job but I suspect that he will still be in charge in 2016."

Mrs Lewis scooped the prize after opting for a lucky dip ticket rather than playing her usual numbers. The delegates from 66 countries are attending four days of events at the Waterfront Hall. The conference is looking at advances in livestock science. There will also be farm visits and an opportunity to showcase Northern Ireland food. The European Federation of Animal Science conference is Europe's largest such event. There will be 1,000 presentations on beef and dairy cattle, sheep, pigs, fisheries and a range of other livestock. A big focus is on feed efficiency - finding ways to maximise output while cutting costs. Of particular interest to Northern Ireland's farmers will be a session on grazing. Much of our livestock is raised on grass. Delegates will be shown the latest technologies. They will also be introduced to the attractions of Belfast. One of the events sees experts giving sessions in the bars around the city. It has been nicknamed "Prof in a Pub". Gerry Lennon, chief executive of Visit Belfast said: "Many hotels are completely full during this conference, and with social events taking place in many pubs and restaurants across the city, we are certain that the visiting delegates will have a fantastic time." Louise Wilkie, of the University of Aberdeen's museum team, was tasked with cleaning and sorting through a collection. Her research led her to link the owner of the slippers and the famous French military leader's sister Princess Pauline Borghese. The small silk and leather slippers are now on display. The collection in question belonged to the Banff-born medical graduate and traveller Robert Wilson. The slippers were in a chest of clothes and were marked on the sole with 'Pauline Rome'. Ms Wilkie said: "Robert Wilson left his collection of objects from his extensive travels to the museum in his will in 1871. "In a list of the objects donated by Wilson is the description of 'A pair of slippers - Pauline, Rome Jan 20th 1824'. "I began to look at other archival material held by the university and found that Wilson had a friendship with Princess Pauline Borghese, the sister of Napoleon Bonaparte." She explained: "Letters from him to Pauline show a close friendship and in his diary he describes how she spent a lot of time with him travelling in Italy and gave him many gifts, including a ring which is also held in the museum collections. "The relationship between Wilson and Princess Pauline can only be speculated upon, however records do indicate some form of attraction and attachment. "He kept the gifts she had given him for life and then they passed to the University collections. "It is amazing to think the slippers have been here all this time but their significance was never fully realised. I was delighted to make a discovery of this kind." Neil Curtis, head of museums at the University of Aberdeen, said: "The university holds huge collections and many of the items given to us over the years do not have full descriptions. "It was a great piece of detective work from Louise to piece together the fascinating history behind the slippers. "We are delighted that these significant objects are now on display and can be enjoyed by the public for the first time." Her animal trainer-owner Kimberly Unger contacted the BBC after spotting Olivia in a news story about unusual pets. A second raccoon, assumed to be Olivia, spotted being walked on a lead near Oxford Street, was in fact a young male racoon she owns called Winston. But the undoubted star of her four-strong raccoon troupe is Melanie, who appeared in a TV talent show in 2013. Melanie, her eldest, featured in Britain's Got Talent, aged one. She performed a series of actions to music, but failed to charm Simon Cowell, who buzzed her out of the TV show. "Melanie did ever so well. She was rolling over, playing dead, climbing a ladder, but Simon didn't like the fact she wasn't dancing. Dancing wasn't part of her routine though, so that's not her fault," Miss Unger said. Miss Unger, 35, has revealed Winston - who was photographed on a lead near Oxford Street on Friday - is a fidgety male who is a week younger than Olivia. She said she had brought Winston to the capital from his home in Kent to help socialise him. "They are highly intelligent and need a lot of mental and physical stimulation. They get easily bored, that's why it's good to take them out regularly," she said. "London is a great place to take them to get them used to noise, traffic, people and different smells. If you do this from when they are young it doesn't stress them out." She accepted some people would see her as eccentric but said she hoped to study captive raccoons to measure their intelligence, to help better protect the species. She agreed with the RSPCA that raccoons were not suitable pets for most people because they demand a lot of attention. A spokesman for the charity said: "We would strongly discourage anyone from buying or keeping them. Sadly, the needs of raccoons cannot adequately be met within typical household environments." In the wild in their native North America raccoons have an average lifespan of between one to three years. Premiership Aberdeen 2-0 Hearts Inverness CT 1-1 Ross County Kilmarnock 1-1 Partick Thistle Motherwell 1-2 St Johnstone Rangers 4-0 Hamilton Academical Championship Dunfermline Athletic 0-1 Ayr United Falkirk 0-1 Greenock Morton Hibernian 2-2 Dumbarton Queen of the South 0-2 St Mirren Raith Rovers 2-1 Dundee United Premiership Dundee 1-2 Celtic More than 100 passengers were due to fly at 11:00 BST on Monday, but were told their flight was going to be late due to a "technical fault". The flight, operated by Lithuanian airline Small Planet, was delayed several more times and eventually left at about 02:00 on Wednesday. Small Planet apologised on Facebook for "all the inconveniences". Paul Kenny, who booked the flight through tour operator Olympic Holidays, is among passengers who have now arrived at Corfu. He said: "At first it was just the usual delay, we had been called to the departure gate. It was saying 'wait a couple more hours' - then two more hours before any more information. "I think what people got angry about was there was never any detail. There was contradictory information on Twitter," Mr Kenny said. "We stood around very patiently for long periods of time [on Tuesday] and there were raised voices at times, particularly yesterday morning. Bearing in mind we had been going 20 hours by then." Mr Kenny said he and his family were determined to "make the most" of the remaining time left of their holiday. "People just want to be sitting by the pool with a cold beer in their hands," he added. "Most families on this flight are only here for a week and this is the morning of our third day." In a statement Small Planet apologised for passengers' inconvenience and stress and said this was "one of the most difficult technical situations we've experienced in some time". The hydraulic system needed immediate repair, it said, adding: "flight safety is an absolute and foremost priority". The firm "actively" looked for a replacement aircraft but no options were available until Wednesday, it said. The statement added: "We made every effort to take care of [passengers] by organising welfare as well as hotels with meals and transportation so that they could wait for their flights as comfortably as possible." Passengers can apply for compensation, according to EU261 rules, on the Small Planet website, a spokesperson added. On arrival in Corfu, the delayed passengers were handed leaflets explaining how they could claim compensation, Mr Kenny said. He added: "We have lost almost a third of our holiday, so a big chunk of it. We'll make the most of the holiday we have left and then I'll pick up the paperwork and the arguments when we get back." Manchester Airport confirmed the delay was the longest passengers have had to endure there. The Queen's granddaughter and Toytown won individual European eventing gold in 2005 and the world title in 2006. Toytown was retired from equestrian competition in 2011. "I'm heartbroken that I had to say goodbye to my greatest friend and horse of a lifetime, Toytown. He was the most incredible athlete with the biggest heart," a statement from Tindall said. "He made my career and I couldn't be more grateful to him for the amazing times we had together. I will miss you forever." Find out how to get into equestrian with our special guide. She bought Toytown as a seven-year-old in 1999, but injuries to the horse prevented them competing at the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. However, they won both European individual and team gold in 2005, followed by world individual gold and team silver the following year, and a European team gold in Italy in 2007. Tindall's husband, and former England, Bath and Gloucester rugby player Mike, said on Twitter: "Sad to say goodbye to the big man today, been a massive part of our lives giving us so many highs!" BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Paul Furley: At the peak of their partnership in 2005 and 2006, they were unbeatable. There should have been Olympic appearances, but twice injury was to deny Toytown a place on sport's grandest stage. Toytown was retired on home turf at Gatcombe in 2011, but got his moment in the Olympic spotlight at Cheltenham Racecourse a year later during the Olympic Torch relay. Ironically just a few weeks later, Zara Tindall competed at the London Olympics on High Kingdom, winning team silver, but it's Toytown who'll always be the horse associated with her. As for the rest of an impressively strong field of 28 Englishmen, some are just pleased to be here. Especially, the two amateurs. Hampshire's Harry Ellis, from Meon Valley, near Southampton, the newly crowned British Amateur champion, and Alfie Plant, from Bexleyheath, Kent, who qualified by winning the European Amateur Championship at Walton Heath a couple of weeks back. There are five other Open debutants, Manchester's Haydn McCullen, three Yorkshiremen - Joe Dean, Nick McCarthy and Adam Hodkinson - and Sussex's Toby Tree. After the battle Tree had to get through Final Qualifying at Hollinwell earlier this month, being at Birkdale should be a comparative breeze. "Those last seven holes were stressful," Tree, 23, from Horsham, told BBC Radio Sussex. "I dropped a few shots so had a nervous wait. That first tee shot on Thursday at Birkdale can't be anywhere as pressurised. "I used to play football more than golf. Then I started playing with my dad and won the English Boys Under-14s and thought I must be half decent. "I turned pro two and a half years ago now, having got to 11 in the world [as an amateur] but my pro career hasn't really lived up to the heights I expected. Maybe this could be a stepping stone." One player who has been to an Open before is Moor Park's Callum Shinkwin, 24, who missed the cut on his debut a year ago at Royal Troon. Last weekend, just a few miles inland in Ayrshire, he left a six-foot putt short when he could have won the Scottish Open at Dundonald, losing in a play-off to Rafa Cabrera-Bello. But apart from banking 680,000 euros and a rise up the world ranking from 405 to 158, Shinkwin did have one big consolation prize - one of the three spare places in the field. "It's all a learning curve," he said. "Of course I was nervous. But you have to have luck. I hit a great second shot which finished in a divot on a downslope of the bank above the bunker. I had no shot, really. It wasn't there for me. But the consolation is I'm in the Open now." Bath's Laurie Canter is another who has been at an Open before, when he shot rounds of 89 and 71 at St Andrews in 2010 to miss the cut by 14 shots on 16 over par and finish second last. "I remember having a moment on the Thursday," he told BBC Points West. "I went into a Portaloo and was almost crying in there. It was quite a tough experience that. But I look back on it more fondly now." Canter was once close to making it in another sport, playing county tennis for Avon, with whom he was in a team that played against Andy Murray - although not on the same court. "That story has snowballed a little bit," he smiles. Canter is now clearly moving in more exalted circles, having received coaching over in America four times this year from Jordan Spieth's coach, Texas-based Cam McCormick. It was back in 1992 when Nick Faldo became the last Englishman to win the Open and 1969 when Tony Jacklin became the last Englishman to do it in England at Royal Lytham & St Annes. When the now 60-year-old six-time major winner rolled up at Royal Birkdale this week for TV commentating duties, Sir Nick said he was "very surprised" no English golfers had won the tournament in a quarter of a century. It is not as if the country has not produced good golfers in all that time. Westwood, playing his 23rd-straight Open this week, Rose, Luke Donald, Paul Casey and Poulter have all been Ryder Cup regulars and up at the top of the world rankings. Rose even won England's first major since Faldo's time, the US Open at Merion 2013. But apart from runners-up spots for Poulter, at Birkdale in 2008, and Westwood, at St Andrews in 2010, the closest anyone has got were the three players who have finished just a shot shy of a play-off. It happened first in 2002 at Muirfield to the little-known Gary Evans, also from Sussex. Then again in 2009 at Turnberry, where both Westwood and Chris Wood narrowly missed the play-off between Tom Watson and the winner Stewart Cink. As the first Englishman to win a major title in 21 years, Rose's contribution to this country's golfing history is already assured. But it was at Royal Birkdale 15 years earlier when he first briefly took centre stage, as a 17-year-old amateur. The chip he holed at the last for a birdie - and a tie for fourth place behind champion Mark O'Meara - is the stuff of Open folklore. But he is not the only English amateur to have made headlines here. Chris Wood also won the Silver Medal here as top amateur 10 years later, tying for fifth, on 290 - eight strokes worse off than the four-round total recorded by Rose in 1998. Had Rose, now England's top ranked golfer, the world number 14, compiled a four-round score of 282 again in 2008, incidentally, it would have won him the Open. The 2008 champion Padraig Harrington's four-round score, in admittedly some fairly inclement weather conditions, was 283. Royal Birkdale is one of only six golf courses in England to have staged the Open Championship - and the newest of the four currently on the rota. Its famous iconic white clubhouse, built in the golden architectural age of Art Deco in 1935, first staged the annual event in 1954, when Australia's five-times Open winner Peter Thomson enjoyed the first of his two victories on the Southport course. This will be the 10th Open at Royal Birkdale with Royal St George's in Kent due to stage the tournament in 2020. Royal Liverpool, Hoylake, on the Wirral Peninsula, last held it in 2014, while Royal Lytham St Annes, further up the Lancashire coast, last hosted it in 2012. The other two courses to have staged the Open are both in Kent, close to Sandwich, Royal Cinque Ports (in 1909 and 1920) and Prince's (in 1932). Only 28 of the previous 145 Open Championships have been won by an English golfer, with Jersey-born Harry Vardon's six titles the most, ahead of JH Taylor (five), and Henry Cotton and Faldo, who have both won three. The fifth English player to win the crown more than once was Harold Hilton in 1892 and 1897. Click here to view the full list of Open winners. Sturridge, 26, scored on his first Premier League start since October in Sunday's 6-0 win over Aston Villa. It was only his sixth league appearance of a season interrupted by knee, foot and hamstring injuries. "Any centre-half in the world would be worried coming up against him," said Henderson. "They know how quick he is, how sharp he is with the ball." It has been reported that Sturridge, who has scored five goals in eight games in all competitions this term, wants to leave Anfield at the end of the season over criticism of his injury record. "A lot gets said about him outside of our group," said midfielder Henderson. "I know it hurts him and I know it is hard for him to take. He is doing things to try and get back. "I have been with him a lot while he has been out. He doesn't want to be injured. He is more annoyed than anyone that he isn't playing. "But now he is back, he has got a smile on his face and he has been world class." Take a look at what has happened over the past decade. There has been a ban on smoking in public places, the introduction of graphic warnings on packs and a ban on shops displaying tobacco products. Now it appears standardised packaging is going to be introduced, following hot-on-the heels of the decision last month to ban smoking in cars when children are present. Some areas are even looking at banning smoking in squares and parks. Only the home remains sacrosanct it seems - and smoking lobby group Forest has even wryly suggested that will be next on the hit list. But do these measures work? A quick glance at the smoking rate can give the impression they don't. Let's look at what has happened over the past 20 years. This is the period when governments have been particularly active. In the mid 1990s 27% of people smoked. By 2013 that had fallen to 19%. By comparison, the 20 years before that - the mid 1970s to mid 1990s - saw the rate fall from 45%. What is more, even this latest step is only likely to have a "modest" impact, according to Sir Cyril Chantler, the paediatrician who reviewed the evidence on standardised packaging for the government last year. Does that mean that tough legislation doesn't work? Not necessarily. The proportion of smokers used to be so high that it was only natural as the evidence grew about the risks the numbers would fall relatively quickly. What you are left with is the hard-core group of smokers. This is the point we have reached now - hence the desire among health experts to keep pushing for ever tougher measures. Action on Smoking and Health's chief executive Deborah Arnott says: "I think we should consider what has happened for the last decade or two a real success. It gets harder as you go on, but the figures are still falling. "It impossible to prove exactly what impact each piece of legislation has had and you have to see it all in context of the health awareness campaigns that have been run too. Whatever we are doing, it is working." Focussing solely on the numbers of smokers also misses an important element of what campaigners and ministers are trying to achieve with the legislation. Firstly, some of it has been aimed at reducing exposure to second-hand smoke - something that the smoking ban in public places certainly achieved, according to research published in 2011 by Stirling University. Secondly, as well as reducing the numbers of people who smoke, the aim has been to stop people taking it up in the first place. Since the 1970s, the proportion of the population which has never smoked increased from 37% to 58%. And in recent years the progress in discouraging children from taking up smoking has been particularly impressive. Between 1982 and 2006, the number of 15-year-olds who regular smoked hovered between 20% and 25%, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre. Since then it has dropped to 8%. This is what ministers and health campaigners call "denormalising" smoking - and in trying to achieve that goal, it could be said no stone is being left unturned. Follow Nick on Twitter. Neil Mahrer, from Jersey Heritage, is separating the hoard of about 70,000 coins, which have fused together after hundreds of years in the ground. Jersey Heritage hopes to recruit more experts to help. Mr Mahrer said if additional help could not be found it would limit how much could be achieved by one person. He said: "We are hoping that we'll be allowed to get two new members of staff specifically to work with me on this and then we can do it as a three-year project. "We want to put some of the material on show in an exhibition here [in Jersey] in 2014 so we have really got to make a start to try and free up some of this jewellery so we can see what we've got." He also wants to examine a pottery vessel full of axe heads and other items found in Jersey earlier this year. The two hoards of historic treasure are on display at the Jersey Museum this weekend, one for the first time and one for the last time. The group of axe heads found in a pottery vessel has never been seen by the public before, and the hoard of Celtic coins will be seen for the last time before conservation experts take it apart. While the hoard of coins has been on public display before, a Jersey Heritage spokesman said some islanders had still not seen it. The coin hoard, discovered in a field, is thought to be worth about £10m. Mr Mahrer said he would start separating the coins in the new year so this would be the last time anyone could see them as they were discovered. Hundreds of public squares, streets, libraries and schools across Egypt are named after the couple. Mr Mubarak's 29 years in power ended with his resignation in February after weeks of mass anti-government protests. The 82-year-old is currently under arrest at a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. He is due to be questioned about allegations of corruption and alleged violence against protesters during the popular uprising. Egypt's state news agency Mena reported on Thursday that his health is "unstable". Portraits of the former president have already been taken down at public institutions across the country. Ordering the same to be done for the Mubarak name, Judge Mohammed Hassan Omar said: "It has become clear that the size of the corruption that's being uncovered every day exceeds by far anyone's imagination." After the ruling, the transport minister said the Mubarak name would be removed from all ministry facilities, including a major underground station in central Cairo. There are suggestions for streets to be renamed after the people who were killed in the recent anti-government protests, the BBC's Yolande Knell in Cairo reports. An Egyptian government fact-finding panel reported recently that at least 846 people were killed and 6,400 were injured during the 18 days of protests earlier this year. The mission - consisting of a panel of judges - said security forces fired live ammunition, placed snipers on rooftops and used vehicles to run over protesters. Mr Mubarak's two sons are among a growing number of ministers and officials from his ruling circle who are also facing investigation.

Companies are still digesting the impact of the referendum decision, but there is general agreement that a prolonged period of uncertainty will damage the UK economy. Here's some reaction from UK plc. The CBI's director-general Carolyn Fairbairn said the decision was "momentous", but she was confident business would adapt. "The urgent priority now is to reassure the markets," she said. "We need strong and calm leadership from the government, working with the Bank of England, to shore up confidence and stability in the economy. "This is not a time for rushed decisions." For the EEF manufacturers organisation, the terms on which government negotiates an EU exit will be key. EEF chief executive Terry Scuoler said: "The government must tread carefully, keeping if we can a trading relationship with the single market, avoiding dramatic overnight changes and not becoming bogged down to the detriment of making long-awaited and much-needed decisions on projects vital to our future economic prosperity." The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), which represents many of the UK's smaller firms, called for a clear and detailed plan from the government on how to support the economy during the transition from EU membership. Dr Adam Marshall, BCC acting director-general, said: "All companies will expect swift, decisive, and co-ordinated action from the government and the Bank of England to stabilise markets if trading conditions or the availability of capital change dramatically. "Businesses need action to maintain economic stability, a timeline for exit, and answers to their many practical, real-world questions about doing business during and after this historic transition. The health of the economy must be the number one priority - not the Westminster political post-mortem." Carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, owned by India's Tata Group, insisted it would be "business as usual". A spokesman said: "We are a British business with a strong manufacturing base in this country, we call Britain home and we remain committed to all our manufacturing sites and investment decisions. "We respect the views of the British people and in line with all other businesses, JLR will manage the long-term impact and implications of this decision: nothing will change for us, or the automotive industry, overnight." However, luxury sportscar maker Aston Martin warned that additional "productivity and efficiency" gains might be needed at the company. Chief executive Andy Palmer said: "Aston Martin will now orientate its business to deliver our mid-term plan in the context of the exit and the market volatility that may exist during the period of transition. However, he added that a weaker pound should "partially offset" the increased instability because it makes exports cheaper. Germany's BMW, which owns Mini, said there would be "no immediate change" to its UK operations, but would not comment on any longer-term implications. "Today, we know that many of the relevant conditions for supplying the European market will have to be renegotiated, but of course we cannot say what this means for our UK operations until those future regulatory and legislative arrangements are agreed," a spokeswoman said. A sector already under pressure is the steel industry, as Tata considers selling its UK operations. Gareth Stace, director of trade body UK Steel, said the decision to leave would send "shockwaves" across the industry. He said: "Our sector is well versed in having challenges thrust upon it, but it's clear that this is like no other. It is now more essential than ever to create the right business conditions in the UK that allow the steel industry to survive, invest and thrive. "Government now needs to fully and finally tackle head on the uncompetitive electricity and policy costs that have historically hindered the growth of steel producers and seen thousands of high-skilled jobs lost over the last year." Shares in airlines collapsed in early trading. There's been much talk about the consequences for airline fares and the impact on Europe-wide aviation agreements, but Ryanair took an upbeat view of the situation. A Ryanair spokesman said: "It's a good job we're better at running an airline than political campaigns. Britons are booking our £9.99 seats in record numbers in what will be the last big seat sale of its kind, as they look to flee a country which will be run by Boris, Gove and Farage." Meanwhile, the owner of British Airways and Iberia, IAG, said the Leave decision could trim profits. The group said: "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." At rival Easyjet, chief executive Carolyn McCall said the government must "accelerate discussions" with EU governments and regulators to ensure that the UK remains part of the single aviation market. "This would enable EU airlines to fly freely within the UK and between the UK and EU, allow UK airlines to fly freely across Europe and would ensure that consumers continue to benefit from low fares." Banking shares have tumbled, but the head of the sector's trade body said "careful deliberation" was needed now. Anthony Browne, chief executive of the British Bankers' Association, said: "The government should have time to plan the UK's approach to any Exit Treaty and lay the ground for an effective negotiation with EU partners." And for those people worried about access to money, he said: "Customers should rest assured their banking services will continue as normal. People will be able to take money out of cash machines, exchange currency and have full access to their banking services." The organisation that speaks for the huge industry looking after pension funds and other investments predicts "challenges ahead" - but is unsure what they will be at the moment. The Investment Association said: "Today, the UK remains a member of the EU and the rules and regulations governing asset management remain unchanged, and the protections that were in place for clients yesterday remain in place today. "The focus in the short term will be on how markets respond, but it is important that we adopt a collective long-term focus on how the UK can preserve the pre-eminence of its financial services sector including our highly successful £5.5tn asset management industry - the second largest industry of its kind in the world." However, one of the City's big investment firms was clear that the referendum decision would damage the economy. Piers Hillier, chief investment officer at Royal London Asset Management, said: "We expect the UK will fall into a recession. Unfortunately I see unstable market conditions lasting for between three and five years whilst new trade agreements are drawn up. "It is our view that the UK government will be left with no choice but to stimulate the economy through fiscal and monetary means, flooding the system with liquidity if necessary." Investment first Hermes looked at the global implications. Chief executive Saker Nusseibeh said: "Besides a sharp sell-off in risk and in sterling, as well as a recession in the UK - which is expected - our fear is that this may trigger political uncertainty within Europe which in turn may lead to a severe global market correction." He added: "We know that we are now in an even more prolonged super-low interest rate environment outside of the UK, with the US likely to delay its decision to raise interest rates even further out." Economists predicted a Leave vote would hit the economy in the short term, but were divided about the long-term impact. Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY Item Club, said the UK was now in "unchartered territory". He said: "The short-term economic impact is more likely to come down to the effect on confidence and expectations. Uncertainty over the UK's future trading relationship with the EU could continue to hold back investment in some industries. "And there is a risk that firms in sectors where an EU domicile is important for business, notably international finance, may choose to move activity out of the UK to guard against the possibility of no deal being agreed." Although Capital Economics' chief European economist Jonathan Loynes agreed that the vote had produced "shockwaves", he thought the long-term impact would be milder than many people predicted. "We maintain the view that the ultimate damage will be rather smaller than some of the more pessimistic projections have suggested. After all, the UK will remain inside the EU for at least two years and possibly longer. This will allow time to clear up some uncertainties, not least over the UK's future trading relationship with the remainder of the EU and rest of the world."

UK companies and business organisations say action to shore up stability and confidence is needed following the UK's vote to leave the European Union.

The pair are both out of contract at the Riverside at the end of the 2016 season, and Surrey have issued a 28-day notice to speak with the players. Stoneman, 29, and Borthwick, 26, both topped 1,000 first-class runs in 2015 and Borthwick has been tipped for an England Test recall this summer. It is understood both players have been offered new contracts by Durham. Speaking to the BBC earlier in June, Borthwick said there were "question marks" over a new deal. "The wickets here don't really help the leggies," he said. "There's been talk of me moving counties, going to where it does spin, but I've enjoyed my batting up here. "Durham have been loyal to me, giving me the chance up the order and I would love to stay." BBC Newcastle's Martin Emmerson "Sunderland-born Scott Borthwick is one of the best batsmen in the country and is on the fringes of a recall to the England Test side having played once for his country in an Ashes Test in Sydney in January 2014. "Many believe the spin-friendly surface of The Oval would suit his bowling style as well. "He's taken nearly 300 wickets in all formats too, but Division One cricket would also be a priority for a player with international hopes. "Mark Stoneman, from Newcastle, is one of the best openers in the country, and he is also Durham's limited-overs captain. "The club is also waiting to see what the central contract situation is for Mark Wood because he has missed the start of the summer with England due to two ankle operations."

Surrey have made an approach for Durham all-rounder Scott Borthwick and opener Mark Stoneman, BBC Newcastle reports.

The incident, between J36 Bridgend and J37 Pyle, happened on Tuesday just before 15:00 GMT. Highways officials say the repairs are being carried out but they will not be finished before Wednesday morning. The ceremony saw 104 bodies returned home from Saudi Arabia. Iran says at least 464 of its nationals were killed. The Saudi authorities put the total death toll at 769 but foreign media reports and officials put the figure at well over 1,000. Tehran has blamed the incident on Saudi "mismanagement". Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir has accused Iran of "playing politics" with the disaster, calling on Tehran to await the outcome of an investigation. Speaking at the repatriation ceremony, Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani, said the tragedy was a "big test" for everyone. "In this incident, our language has been that of fraternity and respect," he said. "When required, we have used the language of diplomacy. If needed, the Islamic Republic of Iran will also use language of power." The crush happened as two large groups of pilgrims converged as they were taking part in one of the Hajj's major rites. The Saudi authorities have not released a breakdown of victims by nationality. BBC Monitoring puts the death toll at 1,216, based on official statements and media reports from 34 countries who lost citizens in the stampede. During 2015, 1.03 million customers moved their bank account to another provider, compared with 1.15 million in 2014. The drop in numbers comes in spite of a high profile publicity campaign last September. However, the Current Account Switching Service (CASS) said more people switched in the last quarter of 2015. CASS was launched in September 2013, to promote more competition between banks, and better deals for customers. "These figures show customer apathy towards current account switching remains entrenched," said Richard Neudegg, head of regulation at price comparison site Uswitch. "A quicker, more efficient switch alone is not enough to encourage customers to change banks or to improve competition." However, CASS said switching rates improved by 11% in the last quarter of 2015, as a result of the media campaign. And it said more people were aware of the service than previously. In October, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said that people could save at least £70 a year if they changed their current account provider. Research among 30,000 eight- to 16-year-old pupils finds a third of boys never or rarely write for fun outside class, compared with 18% of girls. A third of girls write daily, it says, compared with 21% of boys. The Department for Education says the gap in boys' and girls' writing ability at age 11 has been narrowing. But the Trust warns that some boys' reluctance to pick up a pencil could be hampering their chances of reaching their potential. It cites evidence that those who write for fun outside school are four times more likely to be writing above the expected level at the end of primary school than those who do not. At the other end, nine times as many children and young people who do not enjoy writing at all, write below the expected level compared with those who enjoy writing very much. And this is reflected in the achievement gap between boys and girls. Last year, the gap was widest between boys and girls in writing assessment where 81% of boys achieved Level 4 (the expected standard at age 11) or above compared with 90% of girls. However, as the DfE points out, the gap has narrowed since 2012 on this achievement, from 76% of boys reaching the expected standard and 87% of girls. Perhaps most worryingly, a significant number of boys appear to think writing is not "cool". A fifth of boys said they would be embarrassed if their friends saw them write. This compares with 12% of girls, the research said. But the study also suggests boys' attitudes to writing becomes more negative as they enter secondary school. Jonathan Douglas, director of the National Literacy Trust, says we must focus on increasing boys' frequency and enjoyment of writing if we are to support them to succeed at school and throughout their lives. "There are lots of ways in which teachers and parents can make writing fun for children. Setting challenges or giving children a purpose for writing such as writing a shopping list or Christmas card can hook them into doing it more regularly. "Whether it's writing about a football match or their favourite X Factor contestant - giving children a topic which they feel passionate about can really inspire them to get into writing more. "Supporting children to write daily for fun can have a lasting impact on their attitudes, motivation and enjoyment, which in turn helps to boost attainment - as our research shows." The DfE said as a result of its plan for education, and the dedication of teachers, "thousands more children are leaving primary school able to read and write at the expected level for their age, helping young people go on to get jobs and build a better future". The federal prosecutor said that an attack could not be ruled out if further suspects felt cornered. Anti-terror police are holding two brothers and found guns, ammunition and police uniforms during raids in Brussels. "We're still searching for various terror suspects after last night's raids," said Eric Van der Sypt. "We fear that they will feel driven into a corner after the raids. We're also afraid of the same reaction as the 22 March," the federal prosecutor told public broadcaster VTM. Thirty-two people died in bombings in March 2016 at Brussels airport and a city metro station. Mr Van der Sypt said there was no indication yet that a similar attack had been planned. No details were given of the suspects still on the run and Belgian officials said the terror alert would remain at three, the second highest level. Last month, a man set off a bomb at Brussels Central Station before being shot dead by soldiers. Three Kalashnikov assault rifles, ammunition, detonators and a riot gun were seized during police raids in the Anderlecht area of Brussels on Wednesday. Across the border in France, raids also took place in a suburb of the northern city of Lille and a man was detained. Police were also alarmed by the discovery of uniforms belonging to police and other security agencies. Police union president Vincent Gilles said the suspects may have been planning to attack the public or a police station. The two brothers detained by Belgian police have been linked to a motorcycle gang called the Kamikaze Riders, whose members have been caught up in previous alleged plots, including an alleged plan to target the capital on New Year's Eve in 2015. The switch to Cardiff comes as Swansea City host Middlesbrough at the ground in the Premier League on the same day. The Swans' game was moved to a Sunday by television broadcasters. Paul Clement's side kick off at 13:30 GMT while Ospreys are due to face Stade later that day at 17:45 GMT. There had been uncertainty over where Ospreys would play their quarter-final tie after they qualified as top seeds for the knock-out stages of European club rugby's second-tier competition. Tournament organisers European Professional Club Rugby had confirmed the dates and times of all eight quarter-finals in the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup. Ospreys were forced to look at contingency plans away from the Liberty Stadium with the possibility of Swansea's game against relegation rivals Middlesbrough being switched to Sunday to be televised live. The Principality Stadium and the Cardiff City Stadium were options but it understood Ospreys reluctant to move the match against the French side to the closer venue of Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli. "It's a positive move. It's our first home European quarter-final and a huge match. We looked at all the options on the table," Ospreys commercial manager Huw Warren told BBC Wales Sport. "Clearly it's the best option both for on the field with Steve [Tandy, head coach] and the team but it's also a commercial opportunity for us in Cardiff for what is a massive game. "Ultimately it's a massive opportunity for us as a brand to take the game there and hopefully our supporters understand and come and support us." The campaign, known as Operation Torus, ran from 5 September until 31 October. During that time police carried out 674 searches and made 586 drugs seizures. Three hundred and seventy-three people were arrested and of those, 279 were either charged or reported to the Public Prosecution Service. Acting Det Ch Supt Andrea McMullan, from the PSNI's reactive and organised crime branch, described the operation as a "great success". "In the eight weeks of the operation we have removed over £3.3 million worth of drugs from our streets," she said. "Street-level drug dealing is happening across all districts throughout Northern Ireland, causing hurt and harm to communities. "We as police will do everything that we can to tackle this issue, but we need to work in partnership with our local communities, and I encourage people to share any information, no matter how small, with us." A Steven Lawless shot was deflected past Connor Ripley in the 90th minute of a 1-0 home win at Firhill. "We shot ourselves in the foot because the goal was avoidable, one of our players switched off," McGhee said. "The boy got in behind, it gets a big deflection and we've lost a game we didn't need to lose." The match looked destined to end in a goalless draw, with few chances created throughout a hard-fought encounter. The late strike from Lawless lifts Thistle above Motherwell in a congested Premiership table, but McGhee already considered his side to be in a battle to avoid dropping into the relegation zone. It was also the second consecutive game in which a late goal has denied McGhee's side valuable points, with Dundee equalising in a 2-2 draw at the weekend in the closing stages. "We've not thought anything else other than we're in a dogfight," McGhee said. "Even if we'd won tonight I would be saying the same thing. We've shown that we matched Thistle all the way, they've got the break and taken advantage. "There will be games when we're the ones who do that. We've just got to make sure that there's more of them than what happened tonight. "There's not a trend that's costing us to lose a [late] goal. On Saturday it was a penalty kick that was never a penalty kick in a million years. Tonight it was a goal we could have avoided by somebody being more alert." Alan Archibald admitted that the weather and the state of areas of the pitch - patches were bare and heavily sanded due to the recent heavy rain - affected the game. At this stage of the season, though, it is points rather than performances that matter more to the Partick Thistle manager. "A bit of luck, we get a deflection, that probably summed up the game," Archibald said. "It wasn't much of a match. We knew that was going to be the case because of the conditions, and we probably played to the conditions too much. "When it opened up we could have passed it better. We're just delighted to get the three points, which is all that matters on a night like this. "Both teams cancelled each other out for long periods, there wasn't much goalmouth action. Motherwell slightly shaded it in the first half, but the second half we were a little bit better. "The ref played a bit too much time, as they do. We'll take a bit of luck, and the clean sheet because Motherwell are hard to play against with a good front two up top." Exactly 150 years on, plans are well under way for it to become the centrepiece of a new museum building. The 70ft (21m) finback whale was discovered at Pevensey Bay on 13 November 1865. Photographs show people posing beside its corpse. Updates on this story and more from Cambridgeshire Tracy Biram, of Cambridge University's Museum of Zoology, said it was "a massive deal at the time" - for most people it would have been the first time they had seen a whale. It was also a huge specimen - the finback is the second largest species after the blue whale. The skeleton was sold to Cambridge University for £80 the following year (nearly £9,000 at today's prices), but it was many years before it was next seen in public. Ms Biram said: "It took a very small team 30 years of engineering and lab work to clean it, conserve it and create the structure to mount it." When it was finally put in place in 1896, the Museum of Zoology was open to the public by appointment only, as it was a teaching resource for students and academics. Since 1996, it has been hung outside the 1960s museum which replaced the Victorian structure. Ms Biram said: "It's seen as odd and misguided to put it outside in the elements today, but it hadn't been damaged, it was just very dirty, and we discovered a pigeon skeleton hidden inside when we dismantled it as part of the museum's redevelopment." The mammals are still a rare enough sight to attract attention, even in the age of wildlife documentaries and whale-watching tours, and even when dead. "It's not a morbid fascination," said Ben Garrod, an Anglia Ruskin University evolutionary biologist. "It's the closest thing many of us have to a wild experience and, rightly or wrongly, when they strand that's our rare opportunity to see them." The fascination with beached whales appears to have been with us for centuries. In early 17th Century Netherlands, crowds flocked to see sperm whales washed ashore by storms along the North Sea coast, according to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. A stranded whale was discovered underneath layers of paint during the conservation of one of its 17th Century Dutch paintings last year. It was one of many images of whales and other "aquatic wonders" printed at the time, and the museum believes the whale was painted over in the 18th or 19th Century to suit changing tastes or to make it more marketable. However, for people of the 17th Century the mammals were seen as sea monsters or signs of impending disaster. Mr Garrod said: "We now know they're not killers, but then they were the unknown monsters, or the biblical Leviathan. "And in the 19th Century, the novel Moby Dick shaped generations of people's views of whales, the way the film Jaws shaped our idea of Great Whites." About 5% of the 600 cetaceans found stranded around the UK coast every year are whales, according to Rob Deaville. He is the project manager of the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme, which investigates whale, dolphin and porpoise strandings on behalf of Defra. They are far more likely to be the smaller whale species such as the minke than the finback, although several of the latter have been discovered this year. Scientists still have so much more to find out about whales. Mr Deaville said research carried out by the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme, including post-mortems to uncover cause of deaths, "allows us to learn more about marine species that are otherwise very difficult to study". "Seventy percent of the world is covered in water and we don't know what's down there," said Mr Garrod. "Just a week ago we got the first-ever footage of a brand new species of whale, the Omura's whale." The Pevensey Bay skeleton was dismantled last year, because the Museum of Zoology closed for a substantial £3.67m rebuild. Museum staff have raised nearly half the £150,000 they need to conserve it and their other large skeletons. It should be back on display, in pride of place in its own glass hall, early in 2017. There were 1.5m overnight trips to the city in 2016, which equates to almost a third of all tourism traffic to the region. The area-by-area analysis is published by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA). The Causeway Coast and Glens council district is ranked second behind Belfast. But its overnight visitor numbers fell by around 100,000 from 2015 to 810,000. Northern Ireland's tourism sector is generally on the crest of a wave, with the weak pound driving growth in external visitors. Belfast's strong performance is reflected in figures for the hotel trade. The city's hotels sold 991,000 rooms in the course of last year. Visitors to Belfast spent £334m last year, according to NISRA estimates. They were mostly from Great Britain, followed by continental Europe. Hospitality Ulster struck a cautious note in welcoming the figures. "While the overall numbers are most certainly positive, they also show that there is more need for investment and promotion in regions of Northern Ireland that aren't as well established as tourist destinations in order that the benefits of tourism and hospitality are more evenly spread," said Colin Neill, chief executive of Hospitality Ulster "Belfast City Council should also revisit its decision not to extend retail opening hours in the city on Sundays." Owners Fenway Sports Group hope this will be 48-year-old former Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, who is their top choice ahead of three-time Champions League winner Carlo Ancelotti. So what will be on the new man's 'to do' list once he takes his seat behind the desk at Liverpool's Melwood training headquarters? When Brendan Rodgers was appointed in summer 2012, a now departed member of Liverpool's operational staff described the structure the club would use to shape their transfer policy as a "committee". The phrase 'transfer committee' has now become a byword used by fans and critics alike to bash Liverpool's hierarchy over the head and pick holes in a strategy that has overseen almost £300m on 23 permanent signings in that time - resulting in no trophies and a sacked manager. During his time at Anfield, it is believed Rodgers was denied first choices such as Swansea City's Ashley Williams, who was with him at the Liberty Stadium, and Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand because of the workings of the committee. And of his latter deals, it has been widely touted that Roberto Firmino, a £29m buy from Hoffenheim, was more of a committee signing than one fully endorsed by the manager as a player at the top of his approved list. It is hard to imagine someone as forceful as Klopp being pushed into a similar corner. What the new man must do is establish his total control over this group and wipe out the grey areas that accompany this approach. The committee's existence has led to questions about the accountability of those inside the group for signings. Before the events of Sunday night, the committee consisted of Rodgers, scouts Dave Fallows and Barry Hunter, the man in charge of analysis Michael Edwards, FSG's Anfield representative Mike Gordon and chief executive Ian Ayre. The new man will work within this framework but if it is as powerful a personality as Klopp, he should have complete and transparent authority over them. He should get it too given the decidedly mixed track record of their offerings during the Rodgers era. No grey areas. No questions of accountability. Every acquisition should ultimately be the manager's alone, not decided by statistical analysis or questionable scouting reports. It must be a priority. Mike Gordon FSG's eyes and ears on Merseyside and the man who made the phone call to Rodgers to tell him it was all over. He is the president of Fenway Sports Group and has the best football knowledge of Liverpool's American hierarchy. He is FSG's second largest shareholder after John W Henry with about 12%. He keeps hold of the purse-strings and has become an increasingly influential, if low profile, figure. Ian Ayre (chief executive) He is the man responsible for the day-to-day running of Liverpool and has often been a target for fans' criticism when deals have not been done. He is a lifelong Liverpool fan and the connection between Boston and Anfield. Flew to Chile to complete the £29m signing of Roberto Firmino during the Copa America. Michael Edwards (director of technical performance) The most obvious nod to Liverpool owner Henry's admiration for the "Moneyball" ideal - where statistical analysis is used in the search for value in the transfer market. He assesses data and is involved in detailing scouting assignments. Highly respected by FSG and worked previously at Portsmouth and Tottenham. Dave Fallows (director of scouting) Liverpool regarded his appointment as a coup when he arrived from Manchester City in 2012. The club's worldwide network of scouts report in to him and he has been instrumental in drawing up the names of candidates who were perceived to fit the manager's needs. Barry Hunter (chief scout) The former Northern Ireland defender established his association with Rodgers at Reading. He also had a spell as player-manager of Rushden & Diamonds. Like Fallows he was at City, where he scouted abroad. He acts on recommendations from Liverpool's scouts in the regions and compiles reports. In his final media briefing as Liverpool manager, Rodgers revealed a place in the top four was "an internal ambition for myself, the coaching staff and the players" but it had never been mentioned to him as a target by the club's owners. If not, it was presumably an unspoken goal because if FSG wanted to adopt a "suck it and see" approach Rodgers may have survived a little longer this season than he did. Media playback is not supported on this device It was clear FSG had concerns about Rodgers's ability to return Liverpool to the Champions League, especially after their return to Europe's elite competition was soured by a failure to qualify from a favourable group containing Basel and Ludogorets, as well as the sight of the manager playing a shadow side in the 1-0 defeat at Real Madrid. This apparent concession in Madrid, with Steven Gerrard, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho left out of the starting line-up, did Rodgers serious damage in the eyes of many associated with Liverpool, effectively giving up a game in a competition they once regarded as their personal property. The obvious goal at the start of the season - a perfectly understandable one given the further investment in £32.5m striker Christian Benteke, Firmino at £29m from Hoffenheim and £12.5m England defender Nathaniel Clyne - was a top four place and/or a trophy. Preferably both. And by sacking Rodgers now, FSG will believe they have given their fourth manager since buying the club in October 2010 the time and opportunity to move Liverpool back into the top four. The new incumbent will be afforded patience if he does not achieve that goal as he is starting the Liverpool job afresh - but a place in the Champions League has always been in FSG's mind since they walked through the door. It will be a tough target to reach but not insurmountable. Liverpool may lie a disappointing 10th but they are only three points behind Crystal Palace in fourth place and the Premier League has been characterised by its inconsistency so far this season. Liverpool's hierarchy will hope the traditional bounce brought about by appointing a new coach will be followed by the building of solid foundations on the new man's fresh ideas that can help them achieve this target. One of the biggest (and most obvious factors) in Rodgers's demise was his inability to get what FSG felt was the best out of his Liverpool squad. Irrespective of the debate around the merits of Liverpool's transfer committee, FSG were convinced this was a squad that should be performing better both in terms of performances and results. There has been a glaring lack of clarity of thought in recent months. Lucas Leiva, for instance, has gone from being a first-team outcast to an important regular in the space of weeks. The new manager must bring that back and also correct an imbalanced squad in which there are too many players with a workmanlike versatility but with questions about where their best position is. Liverpool signed Emre Can as a promising midfield player from Bayer Leverkusen in summer 2014 but he has rarely figured there, often playing at right-back or in a three-man central defence. Building competition for places was one thing but it was hard to see where expensive buys such as Benteke, Firmino and £25m Adam Lallana would exactly fit when they were all available and Rodgers also had Daniel Sturridge and Danny Ings at his disposal. What about £11m Belgian striker Divock Origi? Where was his place in the master-plan? He is almost starting to resemble a vanity purchase - raw and based on some distant hope of development. The signing of Benteke at such expense was championed by Rodgers but seemed a radical departure from his preferred style of attacker, demonstrated by the fact he hastily moved on Andy Carroll after his arrival. And then we come to tactics. Rodgers wanted to play 4-3-3 but when the pressure was on, it was set aside. In his last game at Everton he started with Can, Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho as a three-man defence. The new manager must make quick decisions on how he wants to play those who he feels are not fit for purpose. He must then work the markets to bring balance and shape to Liverpool's squad. Will Dejan Lovren, bought for a frankly alarming £20m from Southampton, ever come good? He will be given finance in January and beyond as FSG have always backed managers with hard cash - but he will need to spend plenty of time sifting the wheat from the chaff and perhaps altering the owners' mindset into moving away from promise and straight to proven quality. It is a tough task for any manager - but Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti will feel they have the experience and expertise to handle it. Media playback is not supported on this device The 48-year-old former Borussia Dortmund coach will bring charisma and expertise to Liverpool and the Premier League. He has substance to match his personal style, winning the Bundesliga twice by unseating Bayern Munich as well as taking Dortmund to a Champions League final, which they lost to their German rivals at Wembley in May 2013. Once likening his style of football to "heavy metal", Klopp is a fan of intense, pressing attacking football that will be right up the street of Liverpool's fans. His teams do not stand on ceremony behind the door. As he says: "Fighting football is what I like. What we say in German is English football. A rainy day, a heavy pitch, everybody is dirty in the face and they go home and can't play football for the next four weeks. This is Borussia." Klopp left Dortmund after seven years and a disappointing final campaign last summer - and he may find an even bigger challenge then he faced in the Bundesliga if he accepts the Liverpool job. In Germany, his main task (one he achieved) was to get past Bayern. If he comes to the Premier League he must find a way past Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal. It is a huge challenge - but one he is ready for after his short sabbatical. The Commons Science and Technology Committee said it was "alarmed" that police in England and Wales had collected the mugshots of innocent and guilty people alike. Last month, BBC Newsnight revealed police were holding 18 million images to use with facial recognition tech. The government said the technology had an "important role" but images had to be used "in accordance with the law". Committee chairman Andrew Miller said the MPs were not opposed to the use of biometric technologies to combat crime. "But we were alarmed to discover that the police have begun uploading custody photographs of people to the Police National Database and using facial recognition software without any regulatory oversight - some of the people had not even been charged." The MPs said there had been a "worrying" lack of government oversight and regulation of the use of biometrics by public bodies. They highlighted a 2012 High Court ruling that the police's policy on retention of mugshots at that time was "unlawful" - but that nothing had changed as a result. The MPs recommended that the police's maintenance of its database and associated use of facial recognition technology should be brought into the jurisdiction of the Biometrics Commissioner, Alastair MacGregor QC. The commissioner has previously expressed concern about the implications of the police's system for privacy and civil liberties. The committee also called on the government to open a public debate about how public bodies used biometric data. It said it was "inexcusable" that a government report into the risks and benefits of using the data had not yet been published, despite being due in 2013. According to campaign group Big Brother Watch, the committee's report highlights how the current use of biometrics could erode the public's "already fragile opinion of the technology". A spokesman said: "It is unacceptable for innocent people to be treated in the same way as those who have been found to be guilty of a crime. [The police] database, as it stands, does just that. "The fact that two years have passed since the retention of these photographs was ruled illegal and nothing has yet been done to rectify it, is totally unacceptable." A BBC Newsnight report on 3 February revealed that the database maintained by forces in England and Wales included photos of people who had never been charged with a crime, as well as those of people acquitted. The images were uploaded without Home Office approval, the programme reported. But privacy groups say the Home Office itself needs to do more to control surveillance. Jim Killock, the executive director of the Open Rights Group, said: "It's incredibly easy for surveillance powers to grow just because technology gets easier. "That's what the Home Office doesn't like to tell you when they demand new surveillance laws - intrusive technologies deliver more police powers all on their own. Surveillance needs regulating and oversight rather than extra help to grow." His comments were echoed by Privacy International executive director Dr Gus Hosein. Dr Hosein said people should assume the Home Office was "hoping that secret deployment of surveillance techniques will go unnoticed. Fortunately, on this occasion, Parliament is demanding more of them". Mr Miller acknowledged that biometrics involved "risks and raise important ethical and legal questions relating to privacy and autonomy". However, he insisted that they could play a key role in people's lives. "As we struggle to remember ever more passwords and pin numbers in everyday life, the potential benefits of using biometric technologies to verify identity are obvious." Lord Bates, the minister for criminal information, defended the use of mugshots and facial recognition technology, saying it played an "important role". But, he said, the images should be used in accordance with the law. He said the government needed to find a balance between public protection and civil liberties and said it was reviewing how police use custody images. Ch Con Mike Barton, of the Association of Chief Police Officers, said that, while DNA and fingerprints were covered by existing legislation, the management of custody images was not. "Police have used existing guidance on the 'Management of Police Information (MoPI)' to agree principles upon which we review, retain and delete these images. This varies dependent on factors such as age and the type of crime," he said. Belgium's Seppe Smits scored 88.30 points to win, with 23-year-old Nicholls 0.40 behind on 87.90. "It's been a tough couple of weeks with a little injury, but it was a good day at the office," said Nicholls. "I can't wait for the next few weeks." His fellow Briton Billy Morgan was fourth in Seiser Alm, scoring 84.40. Some of the world's leading competitors were missing as they are competing at the X Games in Aspen, Colorado. Nicholls' best slopestyle result came last March, when he secured the first World Cup win of his career in the Czech Republic. He is the third British snowboarder to record a top three World Cup finish this season. His cousin Katie Ormerod claimed her first big air title in Moscow while Morgan finished third in slopestyle in Monchengladbach in December. British freestyle skier James Woods is at the X Games and qualified for the slopestyle final in first place with a score of 94.0. The final is at 18:00 GMT on Saturday. The television star's donation - reported in local press to be nearly £3,000 - came after he heard about the campaign for the Parrot in Carmarthen. Gilbert, who was born in the town, contacted the West Wales Music Collective and offered to push the appeal to the halfway mark - £5,000. He said the town needed live venues. He said if Carmarthen had had them when he grew up, he would have probably got into stand-up comedy sooner than he did. When asked by BBC Radio 1 if he was the "mystery benefactor", Gilbert said: "I am not a mystery benefactor any more then... "My old home town, Carmarthen in west Wales, there is only one music venue, I think I am right in saying, called the Parrot that closed down for one reason or another and now there is a lovely group of artists and musicians - local do-gooders - who are trying to get enough money to reopen it and improve the place. They are a non-profit type of thing. "A town like that, in west Wales, a town like that as in a small town, needs music venues, needs comedy venues, need venues, live performance venues... People need them." Gilbert, who now hosts comedy music quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks and presents a show on BBC Radio Wales, added: "It took me 33 years to do my first stand-up gig, I hadn't been to a comedy club until I was 27 years old. "Had we had them in that small town I would have gone. "I think it's the least you can do is put a bit back in." A spokesman for the West Wales Music Collective told the FYI: Carmarthen website that it was now hopeful of reaching its £10,000 target. Newsweek reports that Mr Trump's company secretly conducted business in Cuba, violating the US trade embargo against the country. The company allegedly spent at least $68,000 (£52,300) in Cuba in 1998. Mr Trump criticised the journalist saying: "No I never did anything in Cuba. I never did a deal in Cuba." "There's this guy who has very bad reputation as a reporter. You see what his record is," the candidate responded when asked before a rally in New Hampshire on Thursday. Mr Trump's spokesman Kellyanne Conway said he did not end up investing in Cuba. Mr Trump has also repeatedly said he had rejected offers to invest in Cuba. The Newsweek report says Mr Trump's company funnelled the cash through a US consulting firm to make it appear legal. Mrs Clinton said: "We have laws in our country, and the efforts that Trump was making to get into the Cuban market - putting his business interests ahead of the laws of the United States and the requirements that businesses were operating under with sanctions shows that he puts his personal and business interests ahead of the laws and values and the policies of the United States of America." "This is something they're going to have to give a response to," said Marco Rubio, the Cuban-American senator from Florida who has endorsed Mr Trump. "I mean, it was a violation of American law, if that's how it happened. "I hope the Trump campaign is going to come forward and answer some questions about this, because if what the article says is true - and I'm not saying that it is, we don't know with 100% certainty - I'd be deeply concerned about it," he told a podcast hosted by ESPN and ABC. Trump's fortune drops $800m in one year Who won the debate? Don't run afoul of Florida's expatriate Cuban community. It's one of those iron-clad rules that Republican presidential nominees have obeyed since the rise of Fidel Castro - and it's now another rule that Donald Trump has apparently broken. Cuban-Americans who fled the island after the revolution historically have been a reliable voting bloc in Florida for Republicans because of the party's hard-line anti-communist stance. While new generations of Cuban-Americans have been less rigid on the issue, Republican presidential candidates continue to pay deference to their interests in this presidential swing state, where every vote is precious. Earlier this week, the Republican nominee was making nice with Cuban-Americans in Miami's Little Havana and ordering coffee at the famous Versailles Restaurant - much like his predecessors had before him. His efforts, however, may be undone by his past actions. Newsweek's front-page - citing company records, interviews with former Trump executives and court filings - alleges that Mr Trump's company, then called Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, sent a consulting firm to Havana on its behalf in search of business opportunities. Newsweek says Mr Trump's senior officers disguised the cash by making it appear that the trip was connected to a Catholic charity. If the consulting firm spent US money during the visit, without permission from the US government, it would have directly violated the Cuban embargo, which remains in place to this day despite a warming in US-Cuba ties. Speaking on ABC earlier on Thursday, Ms Conway initially said: "As I understand from the story, they paid money in 1998." Later in the same interview, she said: "Did his hotel invest in 1998 in Cuba? No." Ms Conway referred to comments Mr Trump has made in the past that were critical of the Cuban regime, and supportive of the embargo. On Thursday night, Mr Trump briefly responded to the allegations to the NH1.com website, saying "I never did a deal in Cuba", and criticised the Newsweek journalist, Kurt Eichenwald. In a 1999 column in The Miami Herald, Mr Trump wrote that he had snubbed chances to do business in Cuba. "It would place me directly at odds with the longstanding US policy of isolating Fidel Castro. I had a choice to make: huge profits or human rights. For me, it was a no-brainer." 1959: Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro leads a guerrilla army into Havana overthrowing the Batista regime. 1960: In response to Castro's communist reforms, US breaks off diplomatic relations with Cuba and imposes a trade embargo. 1962: Castro agrees to allow the Soviet Union to deploy nuclear missiles on the island bringing the US and the USSR to the brink of nuclear war. April 2009: President Barack Obama lifts restrictions on family travel and the sending of remittances to Cuba. July 2015: The US and Cuba reopen embassies in each other's capitals and restore full diplomatic ties. March 2016: President Obama makes a three-day visit to Cuba and holds talks with President Raul Castro. He expresses hope the embargo will be ended, but it can only be lifted by the US Congress which is controlled by Republicans who oppose the move.

Nicknamed Eric by the charity, the bird was discovered after going walkabout in the village of Kirtling, near Newmarket, on Saturday evening. His owner Anne-Marie Kirby, who lives nearby, came forward on Tuesday to claim her emu, whose name is Monty. She said she was thrilled he was back, as was his emu "girlfriend" Mathilda. Inquisitive Monty took a stroll along a driveway in The Street after being "spooked by something" on Saturday, the RSPCA said. He was captured by the homeowners and kept in their stable overnight. RSPCA inspector Jane Folly appealed for his owner to come forward, believing the tame emu was someone's pet. "This must have been quite an unexpected sight for the member of the public - not the sort of animal they normally see walking up their driveway," she added. Ms Kirby said she was very relieved Monty was safely back with Mathilda, who had been "pining" for him. The site, called Playpen, was located on the Tor network used to anonymise web-browsing activity. Fluckiger was "heavily involved" in the running of the members-only site, said the US Department of Justice (DoJ). The investigation into the site has led to the rescue of 49 American children who had been subject to abuse. Fluckiger of Portland, Indiana, was "co-administrator" of the site, said the DoJ, and helped Playpen members see and read "tens of thousands" of messages relating to the sexual abuse of children. He managed membership lists, enforced site rules and deleted any content that was not related to indecent images of children. Two other men who helped run the site, David Lynn Browning of Kentucky and Steven W. Chase of Florida, have pleaded guilty and are due to be sentenced soon. Across the US, 48 active child abusers have been prosecuted as a result of the investigation, said the DoJ. It added that, in total, 200 prosecutions had resulted from the long-running investigation. Playpen was located on a server on the well-known Tor network which hides the identity and location of browsers by encrypting data and bouncing it between different computers. Law enforcement agencies caught the site administrators, and many members of Playpen, by using techniques that stripped them of the anonymity Tor can provide. Legal challenges against this investigative technique have been filed by some alleged Playpen members. Once the site's administrators had been arrested, the FBI kept the site going for 13 days to gather information about members. Ryan Counsell, 28, a Muslim convert from Nottingham, allegedly spent years stockpiling military equipment. He told Woolwich Crown Court he was "an obsessive person" who collected things. Mr Counsell, who denies all charges, said he was "interested in terrorist movements" for "religious" purposes. Mr Counsell, who converted to Islam in 2011, said his interest in the Philippines had been prompted by watching the series New Lives in the Wild by the presenter Ben Fogle about an American man who had moved there. "It was about a man from America who wanted to find a life sustainable with his income, so he moved there," he told Woolwich Crown Court. He said he had also considered other countries including Egypt, Somalia and Bosnia, but Somalia was rejected because his Somali-born wife considered it too dangerous. Married father Mr Counsell denied he planned to join the terrorist group Abu Sayyaf, which is affiliated with so-called Islamic State. He described his interests as religion, conspiracy theories, history, and military equipment, along with "wanting to live off-the-grid so to speak, living without connection to electricity or gas in a caravan or a tent". He told the court: "I have always been a very obsessive person." He added he collected military field manuals and material on Islam. He also said he was interested in survivalism but was "actually quite scared of leaving the house" and did not like travelling. Mr Counsell is charged with preparing acts of terrorism by obtaining information about Islamic terrorist groups in the Philippines, arranging to travel to the Philippines to join and fight for an Islamic terrorist group, and purchasing equipment and clothing for use when having joined such a group. The trial continues. 29 March 2016 Last updated at 07:28 BST Similarly to the presidential hopeful, the Alabamian is known for having a tough stance on immigration. The 69-year-old politician's remarks about race in the past have drawn major attention and also served as an obstacle in his political career. Video produced by Alexi Peristianis; illustrations by Jilla Dastmalchi; images courtesy of Thinkstock, Getty Images, Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre said the haul was the biggest in the country's history. Mr Aguirre said 10 people had been charged. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has pursued a bloody war on drugs since taking office six months ago, encouraging police to shoot on sight. More than 6,000 drug users and dealers are suspected to have been killed by both police and vigilantes since the crackdown began. Barrels of chemicals used to produce methamphetamine, or "shabu" as it is known in the Philippines, were seized during a raid in the capital Manila, Mr Aguirre said. Six people were arrested the previous day, also in Manila, when 560kg (1,200lb) of suspected methamphetamine, worth an estimated $67m, was found in one raid. Mr Duterte has faced allegations of widespread human rights violations over his war on drugs and been accused of targeting low-level users and pushers rather than high-level dealers. He has expressed few regrets about the policy, once saying: "Hitler massacred three million Jews... There's three million drug addicts. I'd be happy to slaughter them." He caused controversy earlier this month after admitting that, as mayor of the southern city Davao, he had personally killed three men he said were suspected of rape. He ran Davao for 20 years, earning the nickname "The Punisher" for his brutal approach to tackling crime. Critics say he supported death squads in the city and continues to do so as president. It also named three Shining Path leaders as drug traffickers and froze their assets in the US. The once-powerful Shining Path has been on the US state department's list of terrorist organisations since 1997. The treasury said the guerrilla group had evolved into a "criminal narco-terrorist organisation". In a statement on Monday, it said that the Shining Path taxed the production, processing and transport of cocaine. In 2013, Peru overtook Colombia as the world's largest producer of coca, the raw ingredient of cocaine, according to figures by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. The three Shining Path leaders singled out under the US Kingpin Act are Florindo Flores Hala and brothers Victor and Jorge Quispe Palomino. Florindo Flores , better known as Comrade Artemio, was arrested in Peru in 2012 and is serving a life sentence for terrorism. Victor and Jorge Quispe remain at large and on the Peruvian security forces' list of most wanted men. They will have their US assets frozen and US citizens will be banned from engaging in transactions with them. The Shining Path posed a major challenge to the Peruvian state in the 1980s and early 90s. After the capture of its main leaders its influence was greatly reduced, but the Peruvian government has long warned that the guerrilla group had shifted its attention to the illegal drugs trade. US treasury official John Smith said that designating the group as narcotics traffickers would support "the government of Peru's efforts to actively combat the group" It took a High Court judge less than a minute to issue a winding up order against County Developments (Northampton) Limited (CDNL) at a hearing in Birmingham. The petition was brought by sub-contractors Buckingham Group, which has halted construction of the East Stand at Northampton Town's Sixfields home. It claims it is owed £2.9m by CDNL. Northampton Town chairman David Cardoza and his father Anthony Cardoza are the only company directors listed for CNDL. Buckingham Group said it had to stop work on the development of the East Stand twice - initially when contractors 1st Land Limited went into administration and again when contracting company CDNL failed to pay in full. In a statement, Buckingham Group said: "We stopped work because we were not paid." CDNL's assets will now be liquidated in order to repay creditors. A spokesman for Northampton Borough Council said it will be talking to potential developers. It read: "The winding up of CDNL today means that Northampton Borough Council is now free to talk to a wider range of people, including the official receiver, about the future development of the land, which is how the loan that we have made to the football club will be paid back. "We will be meeting with interested parties soon. "Our priority is to protect the public purse and ensure the loan is repaid in full, while also offering support to safeguard the future of the football club." "With that in mind, we have made proposals to David Cardoza and offered to work with the club to avoid being liquidated by the HMRC petition and we await a decision from David Cardoza on that." Mr Cardoza was not at the hearing and was not available for comment. MP Michelle Rempel said on Wednesday that a refugee-friendly message is misleading asylum seekers about how welcoming the country is to claimants. More than 11,300 people have illegally entered Canada from the US this year. The influx coincides with the election of US President Donald Trump, who stood on an anti-immigration platform. Mr Trudeau, on the other hand, has spoken of Canada welcoming refugees, saying in January: "To all those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians will welcome you." But in the first two weeks of August, more than 3,600 people crossed into the country from the US. As a result, processing and sheltering the migrants has put a strain on government resources. Ms Rempel, who is in charge immigration issues in the Conservative shadow cabinet, said Mr Trudeau's Liberal party had no real plan in place to tackle the problem. "Our system now is in shambles," she said. Ms Rempel pointed to a June report from the Canadian Press on a government document suggesting refugee claimants could face up to an 11-year wait for a hearing if asylum claims continue to rise. The MP pointed Mr Trudeau's January message as feeding the myth that receiving refugee status in Canada is easy. End of Twitter post by @JustinTrudeau On Wednesday Mr Trudeau held a meeting with a task force on irregular migration in Montreal, Quebec - the province which has taken the brunt of the surge in border crossings. The city's Olympic stadium is sheltering hundreds of migrants, while a temporary tent city for migrants in neighbouring Ontario is expected to stay open for two months and house about 500 people. But while Mr Trudeau praised the government for "doing a very good job" increasing the speed with which claims were being processed, he echoed the tougher tone the Canadian authorities have been taking in recent weeks. "Canada is an open and welcoming society because Canadians have confidence in our immigration system and have confidence that we are a country based on laws," Mr Trudeau told reporters. "You will not be at an advantage if you choose to enter Canada irregularly. You must follow the rules and there are many." The government has been warning would-be asylum seekers that people who do not have legitimate asylum claims face deportation. Many of those crossing the border are Haitians who fear that the Trump administration in the US would remove their temporary protected status, brought in following the 2010 earthquake, from deportation. It expires in 2018. However, Reuters news agency said Canada fears a "huge surge" because people from El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras also face losing their protected status in the US next year. Staring into space from an altitude of 5,100m in the Atacama desert, the Apex telescope has imaged as much of our galaxy as it can see. It has sampled this vast, thin strip of the southern sky using radiation that sits between radio and infrared waves. The detector is effectively a highly sensitive, super-chilled thermometer. Tiny changes in temperature are registered by a bank of 295 sensors, kept at less than 0.3 degrees above absolute zero, called the Large Bolometer Camera (Laboca). This instrument is at the heart of Apex - the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment - a 12m telescope that has been operating on Chile's high Chajnantor Plateau for 10 years. The newly completed map, called Atlasgal (the Apex Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy), has already produced 70 scientific papers. Its first big tranche of data was released in 2009. Today's release covers an area 140 degrees long and three degrees wide: more than four times the span of the previous iteration. It is also a much more precise, detailed map. "Atlasgal provides exciting insights into where the next generation of high-mass stars and clusters form," said Timea Csengeri from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Germany. The survey complements existing data on the northern Milky Way, collected by other telescopes. But the southern view of our galaxy is of particular interest because it includes the galactic centre. It also means that promising regions of the map can be investigated in much greater depth by Alma, the powerful, 66-strong cluster of antennae that sits on the same plateau and also peers southwards. The Atlasgal team has combined their data, based on radiation with a wavelength of 0.87mm, with measurements from two space telescopes: similar but lower-resolution images from Planck, and shorter-wavelength infrared data from Spitzer. These different layers have been superimposed in a huge, downloadable image (displayed in part above) which shows the Atlasgal data in red, the Plank data in fainter red and the Spitzer measurements in blue. "Atlasgal has allowed us to have a new and transformational look at the dense interstellar medium of our own galaxy, the Milky Way," said Leonardo Testi from the European Southern Observatory. "The new release of the full survey opens up the possibility to mine this marvellous dataset for new discoveries. Many teams of scientists are already using the Atlasgal data to plan for detailed Alma follow-up." Other astronomers can download Atlasgal data from ESO's website and the work is described in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. A scar, half an inch wide, stretched from just above the elbow and up over his shoulder. "Our company paid for full medical expenses, so he had an operation," explained his coach, Kang Doh Kyung. "[He] is the best player in StarCraft and has won everything in this field and is still going strong." Repetitive strain had injured Mr Lee's muscles, deforming them and making surgery the only option to save his illustrious career. Holding his arm out so I could have a proper gawp, Mr Lee paused. "It's like a badge of honour," he said. It seemed like the confirmation I'd been expecting - that gaming in South Korea had reached a dangerous place, where professionals and amateurs alike were destroying their lives and their bodies. But Mr Kang sees it very differently. They're athletes, he argues, and injuries happen. One of his colleagues later suggested that if I'd been interviewing the world's most-decorated marathon champion, I wouldn't be surprised if they had damaged knees. Nor would I suggest a footballer needing surgery was "too far", the phrase I'd used to describe Mr Lee's arm. He had a point. Professional gaming - e-sport - is a huge deal in South Korea. There's a government department dedicated to its development. These gamers are like professional footballers, their matches broadcast - on TV and online - in English as well as Korean. The best earn hundreds of thousands of pounds every year: a mixture of salaries, prize money and sponsorship deals. Mr Lee is a Starcraft player for KT Rolster, one of South Korea's bigger teams. The scar is a result of being at the top of his game for 10 years. Read more stories from the South Korea Direct season: Whatever happened to Psy and K-pop's bid to conquer the world? The woman who liberated Korean housewives In Pictures: Fish, fruit and veg in South Korea's markets How good are Kim Jong-un's hackers? On the day I visited, KT Rolster's Starcraft players were training hard to be just like Mr Lee. The noise of their practice produced an almost hypnotic tap-tap-tap-tap backing track in a room which resembled the kind of place you'd be subjected to when sitting a computer-based exam. Each PC in its own cubicle, gamers with their headphones on, the room screamed "do not disturb". The difference here is that these cubicles feel lived in. Family pictures, the remains of snacks, and the odd toothbrush. And then there's the gifts. A lot of gifts. The professional gamers are overwhelmingly male, but their most-obsessive fans are female, lavishing the boys with the kind of attention otherwise reserved for the singing K-Pop stars, the country's other booming entertainment export. But unlike the fad of Gangnam Style, e-sports is something South Korea feels it can bring to the world. "I believe that e-sport has plenty of potential [to be regarded as a proper sport], although perhaps not as much as physical games," Mr Kang said. "E-sports is in the process of becoming a mental sport like chess." Down the hallway - and past a room filled with bottles of "sports" drink Pocari Sweat, another sponsor - I found the training room for KT Rolster's League of Legends team. League of Legends - LoL - is arguably the biggest of the e-sports titles and is all about teamwork and group strategy. The team here joked about going out and drinking beer - and teased about who got the most, and the least, gifts. As well as training together, the teams live together in some digs a short walk from the training office. I'd expected a room full of gadgets and other technology. These are big gamers, after all. But no - aside from a TV, there was very little in the way of gaming entertainment. Here, their charming housekeeper holds fort, and does what she can to keep the team healthy. "They spend most of their time sitting with little exercise," she said, while washing up, "so I wanted to avoid cooking high-calorie foods, but they love naughty foods like that." She loves them, she told me. "They're adorable." At the top-end of gaming, the players are undeniably well looked after, healthy and happy - even if the gruelling routine means they clearly don't enjoy playing anymore. It's work. But for the non-professional, the impact heavy gaming is having on the health and social lives of young Koreans is of great concern to many. After visiting KT Rolster, I went to another part of Seoul to visit what is known as a PC Bang. They're all over South Korea - internet cafes, essentially, but with high-end gaming PCs. Hundreds of them, in a big room kitted out like a club - with its own bar. It's open 24 hours a day. There have been a number of instances where gamers have died in these PC Bangs. They are rare, but make global headlines. South Korea has made numerous attempts to curb the amount of online gaming its young are playing. In 2011, it passed the Shutdown Law - dubbed the Cinderella Law - which prevented children aged 16 or below from playing online games between 10:30pm and 6:00am. The rules were later amended to allow parents to make their own choice about when gaming access should be curtailed in the home. The country is the world leader in treatment for all sorts of technology dependency, but gaming is, by far, the most common issue. It's one that has parents literally dragging their children to addiction centres set up all over South Korea. At KT Rolster, coach Mr Kang is responsible for looking after his team's wellbeing - but he also recognised the negativity around hardcore gaming. "When people immerse themselves in something and become addicted to it, then they can cross the line. "Our bodies might be very tired or in poor condition. These things happen not only while playing games. Even when people work out, some people can have a heart attack." He stopped, keen to move on from what he saw as a predictable, perhaps tedious, line of questioning. During my time with KT Rolster my point of view flip-flopped between seeing gaming as either serious business, or a serious problem. With the relentless tap-tap-tap of keyboards still echoing in my ears, I came to the only reasonable conclusion I could: it's both.

Tata said the deal with Liberty House Group was an "important step" in securing the long-term future of the business. Steel union Community said the agreement was a "welcome step forward". Read more about this and other stories from across South Yorkshire Liberty House Group said it was confident the business, which also has centres in Bolton and Wednesbury, West Midlands, would flourish within the group. Bimlendra Jha, chief executive of Tata Steel UK, said: "For speciality steels this is an important step forward in securing a future for the business under new ownership." He also praised the performance of workers, trade unions and management in improving the company's performance. Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of Community, said there was still a lot of work to do before the sale was completed. "Community has been campaigning for months for longer-term certainty for these highly skilled jobs and we will now engage more directly with Liberty to understand their plan for the business. "The steelworkers concerned produce some of the world's most advanced steel products and we will need to be convinced this sale is in their best interests." The deal has been welcomed by the government. Business Secretary Greg Clark said it was a "great opportunity" for Liberty House Group.

The BBC's Richard Westcott has a closer look at one of the new designs. The forward, 25, has been charged with a Grade F offence of "other contrary behaviour", which carries a minimum ban of eight games if he is found guilty. The incident occurred in Saturday's Super League defeat by Catalans. Acton appeared to grab the shirt of Greg Bird, lift him and push him back to the floor while he lay injured. The request for a delay was granted, provided Acton does not feature for Leigh in Friday's Super League match at Warrington. Grade F offences are the most serious on the Rugby Football League's disciplinary scale. Abdul Rakib Amin, who is believed to be 26, was seen urging western Muslims to join the fighting in the jihadi film. He has now spoken to ITV's Good Morning Britain. He said: "I left with the intention not to go back, I'm going to stay and fight until the Khilafah (rule of Islam) is established or I die." Amin said: "I left the UK to fight for the sake of Allah to give everything I have for the sake of Allah. "One of the happiest moments in my life was when the plane took off from Gatwick Airport, I was so happy, as a Muslim you cannot live in the country of Kuffars (disbelievers). "I didn't know how to fight with weapons before, so everyone has to go to a training camp, and after the training camp you go to an Islamic training camp." It is understood he attended Sunnybank Primary and St Machar Academy in Aberdeen. The original 13-minute video, There Is No Life Without Jihad, was posted by accounts linked to Isis. It is due to be held in Andersonstown Leisure Centre on Thursday night. Fr Pat McCafferty accused Mr McConnell, the senior pastor of the Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle, of holding anti-Catholic views. In a statement to Radio Ulster, Pastor McConnell said while he criticises the Catholic Church and its priests, he does not criticise Catholics. He said he was going to Andersonstown "with an open heart and mind". However, Fr McCafferty said: "I don't preach against Protestantism - we preach the gospel in the Catholic churches of west Belfast. "He sees west Belfast, he sees the people there, as living in darkness, and they're not. "They're not living in darkness, they're good people, they're a Christian people and they don't need a fundamentalist and anti-Catholic preacher coming and pretending to be their friend." Pastor McConnell, who is originally from east Belfast, started the Whitewell church, in 1956. He said Fr McCafferty's comments were "very cruel".

Dent hit 10 fours to help the hosts reach 204-4 with six overs remaining. But Henry bowled George Hawkins and Kieran Noema-Barnett as Gloucestershire closed on 217-6, a lead of 186 runs. The Kiwi bowler enjoyed a fruitful day with the bat and ball as his 3-60 followed an entertaining 42 off 40 balls which gave Worcestershire their slender first-innings lead. Donnacadh McGuire was found with significant injuries in Tyrconnell Street shortly before 10:30 BST on Tuesday. He was taken to hospital, where he later died. A man has been arrested and released on bail. The police said it was "possible" that the boy's injuries "were sustained as the result of a collision with a vehicle". However, the PSNI added: "We are working to establish exactly what happened and we are keen to speak to witnesses". Insp O'Brien said: "I would ask anyone who was on Tyrconnell Street this morning between 10am and 10.30am to please get in touch." Fr Paul Farren, a priest at St Eugene's Cathedral, has been speaking to the boy's family. "It is just unspeakable. The loss of a child at such a young age is the most awful tragedy. "Words are meaningless at a time like this." Lorraine McGoldrick, who is a neighbour, arrived at the scene shortly after the incident. "It is so tragic. People were in shock and everybody was speechless. "The people here are amazing and they will support everybody." All O'Keefe's scalps came as India lost seven wickets for 11 runs to be 105 all out - captain Virat Kohli making his first Test duck in 45 innings. Australia, bowled out for 260 in their first innings, then moved to 143-4 to lead by 298 runs. Captain Steve Smith, dropped three times, was unbeaten on 59 at the end of day on which 15 wickets fell. O'Keefe claimed three wickets in one over, first dismissing top-scorer KL Rahul (64) before Ajinkya Rahane and Wriddhiman Saha fell for ducks. All of his six wickets came in the space of 24 deliveries as the 32-year-old claimed career-best figures in his fifth Test. Despite Ravichandran Ashwin dismissing David Warner (10) and Shaun Marsh for a duck, Smith and Matt Renshaw (31) steadied the innings to put Australia on top. Only one team has chased more than 300 to win a Test in India - India scored 387 to beat England by six wickets in 2008.

Current arrangements prohibit these vehicles from using European airspace, according to ministers, and they want the certification system updated. The move is aimed at smoothing the path to market of novel launch systems such as the Skylon concept being developed by Reaction Engines Limited (REL). The Oxfordshire company's robotic vehicle is part aeroplane, part rocket. It would take off horizontally from a runway and go straight to orbit without the need for the multiple propellant stages seen in today's throw-away launchers. Skylon would then land back on Earth at the same runway. Reaction Engines claim the system could dramatically lower the cost of putting satellites in space. But the vehicle's unique capabilities mean it does not fit into any current regulatory regime, and unless that is changed its entry into service will be blocked. Speaking at the Farnborough International Airshow, Science Minister David Willetts said he intended to address this issue with both the UK Department of Transport and the European Commission. "At the moment, there is just a complete gap - there is no European regulatory regime for reusable space vehicles, and we need one," he told BBC News. Mr Willetts made his comments when he visited the REL stand here at Farnborough. The company is showcasing its revolutionary Sabre engine technology, which is two-thirds of the way through an important test campaign at its Culham base. Sabre would burn hydrogen and oxygen to provide thrust - but in the lower atmosphere this oxygen would be taken from the atmosphere. At high speeds, the engine is required to cope with 1,000-degree gases entering its intake. These have to be cooled prior to being compressed and burnt with the hydrogen. REL's solution is a module containing arrays of extremely fine piping that can extract the heat and plunge the intake gases to minus 140C in just 1/100th of a second. Ordinarily, the moisture in the air would be expected to freeze out rapidly, covering the pre-cooler's pipes in a blanket of frost and dislocating their operation. But the company's engineers have also devised a means to stop this happening, permitting Sabre to run in jet mode for as long as is needed before making the transition to full rocket mode to take Skylon into orbit. It is the critical "pre-cooler" technology with its innovative helium cooling loop that REL is validating currently on an experimental rig at Culham. The company's message here at Farnborough is that the pre-cooler is performing as expected - air flows through the module in a stable and uniform way, free from any vibration. The pre-cooler has also been run at sub-zero temperatures where frost would be expected to form were it not for the anti-frosting mechanism, although the REL engineers have yet to take the system all the way down to below minus 140C . That will be done in the coming months. "We've been down to sub-zero temperatures with completely stable operation; we've had steady-state operation for over six minutes," explained Alan Bond, the driving force behind the Skylon concept. "We've now stopped the programme for the time being, to upgrade our test facilities in order to go down to much lower temperatures. We expect to complete that testing by the end of the year." The Skylon/Sabre programme is being assessed by the European Space Agency (Esa). Its propulsion experts have been conducting a technical audit at the request of the UK Space Agency, to provide an independent view of the pre-cooler's capabilities and performance. And the progress is being followed at the highest level within Esa. "I am a rocket engineer and I have looked at the Skylon project," the Paris-based agency's director-general, Jean-Jacques Dordain, told BBC News. "We are discussing with Reaction Engines how we can continue to work with them to get some more insights on their project… some more technical studies." So far, only 15% of the funding to run the project has come from public sources; the rest has been private finance. The company has now appointed a new chief executive, Tim Hayter. One of his roles is to find the £250m needed to take Skylon/Sabre into its final design phase. "We need to find investors or strategic partners with the vision and drive to see the long-term on this," he said. "It's not going to be a quick turn-around [investment], but this is a disruptive technology that could turn launch vehicles on their head and we need people who can see that." The prospect of some further UK government funding is not out of the question, either. "We see this as predominantly a commercial project and it has already successfully raised money in the city," said Mr Willetts. "We are considering whether there is any way we can provide them with further public assistance. No decision has been taken on that yet, and of course the overall budget position for the government is very tight."

The UK government says it is working to put in place the regulations that would license the operation of spaceplanes.

Derrylard Nurseries near Maghery grows salads for all the major supermarkets in Northern Ireland. Its premises are beside the River Bann where it flows into Lough Neagh at Bannfoot. Over the period of a week the flood waters have reached one of its giant grow tunnels. They have now covered tens of thousands of lettuces which had been planted in November and were due for harvest in March. Owner Seamus Donnelly said the loss would run to thousands of pounds. "They'll all have to be thrown out now. There's no way they could survive that," he said. The level of Lough Neagh has been rising steadily since Christmas. It's now half a metre higher than it was on Christmas Day across its 383sq kms. Questions have been asked about the management of the lough levels. The Rivers Agency is responsible for that. It will appear before a committee of MLAs at Stormont on Tuesday to answer questions about the impact of the winter storms.

A County Armagh horticulture company has said it has lost 70,000 lettuces to the rising waters of Lough Neagh.

Billy Irving, from Connel, Argyll, was among 35 sailors and guards who were arrested on the anti-piracy ship MV Seaman Guard Ohio on 12 October 2013. They have been now jailed for five years and fined 3,000 rupees (£30). Mr Irving's partner, Yvonne MacHugh, said she was devastated by the ruling and all six UK nationals would appeal. Ms MacHugh, from Glasgow, said: "After two long years of fighting to get my partner Billy home I'm devastated with today's verdict. For the next five years our son won't have a father at home. "Billy has passed on to me all of the evidence that we couldn't mention while the trial was going on. "I intend to release this to the media so that the public can see that the boys did nothing wrong, that everything was legal and that this has been a miscarriage of justice." Mr Irving and five other former British soldiers were arrested after their ship strayed into Indian waters without permission. When it was boarded, Indian customs officials and police found 35 guns, including semi-automatic weapons, and almost 6,000 rounds of ammunition. They were working for AdvanFort providing anti-piracy protection in the Indian Ocean when their ship was detained. The five other British nationals on the ship were Nick Dunn, of Ashington, Northumberland; Ray Tindall from Chester; Paul Towers from Pocklington, North Yorkshire; John Armstrong from Wigton, Cumbria; and Nicholas Simpson, from Catterick, North Yorkshire. The charges against them were later dropped but the men were unable to leave India while prosecutors pursued an appeal, which has now been successful. Ms MacHugh said all six men would now seek to have their convictions overturned. "They are filing a petition against it but that won't happen until the 16th of January," she said. "I hope to at least get them out on bail then figure out what to do next, but really this isn't a legal matter - this is a political matter." "The government really has to get involved now because this is a miscarriage of justice." Ms MacHugh previously started a petition on Change.org - which attracted the support of tens of thousands of people - saying the men had been "wrongly arrested and imprisoned by Indian authorities while working to protect ships from pirate attacks". The six British men have consistently denied any wrongdoing and claim they have been abandoned by their American employers and not been paid since November 2013. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said that the men had 90 days to appeal against the decision. A spokesman said: "Our staff in India and the UK have been in close contact with all six men since their arrest to provide support to them and their families, including attending court. "Ministers have also raised this case at the highest levels, pressing for delays to be resolved. "We recognise what a difficult time this is for those involved. There is now a 90-day window to appeal and we will continue to provide consular assistance. "However, we cannot interfere in another country's judicial process." Ken Peters, director of Justice and Public Affairs at the Mission to Seafarers, said: "To think that highly-trained professionals, properly accredited and doing a job that is protecting the world's interests, are then penalised in such a way is unthinkable." He was a founder member of the group, best known for classic tracks Roll Away The Stone and All The Young Dudes. The latter was written and produced by David Bowie, who sang backing vocals on the track. The band, who made eight albums during their five-and-a-half year existence, reformed to mark their 40th anniversary in 2009 - but Griffin was too ill to take part. He died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday night, said Peter Purnell from record label Angel Air records. He called Griffin "one of the nicest, friendly and talented men I have ever known." "All he ever wanted was for his beloved Mott The Hoople to reform and it was his determination that achieved that very feat in 2009 but sadly by then he was too ill to perform at the five sold-out dates - though he did join the band for encores." Born in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, the drummer played in a number of local bands before forming Silence with singer Stan Tippens, keyboard player Verden Allen, guitarist Mick Ralphs and bassist Pete Overend Watts in the late 1960s. They got a record contract in early 1969 and went to London to record under producer Guy Stevens, who renamed the band Mott the Hoople after a 1967 novel by Willard Manus. Not long after, Tippens was ousted by vocalist Ian Hunter, although he remained as their road manager. Although they built up a cult following (a raucous gig at the Royal Albert Hall led to the venue banning rock acts), they struggled to sell records and were on the verge of breaking up in 1972, until Bowie stepped in and persuaded them to stay together, placing them under the care of his manager Tony De Fries. He also offered them the song Suffragette City - but they rejected it, prompting the star to write the anthemic All The Young Dudes instead (its narrative forms part of the story of Bowie's alter-ego Ziggy Stardust). The song reached number three in the UK and the top 40 in America, giving the band a new lease of life. Later albums produced hits such as Honaloochie Boogie, All The Way From Memphis and Golden Age of Rock'n'Roll. But the group disintegrated in 1974 when Hunter, suffering from physical exhaustion, cancelled their entire European tour. When rumours then spread that he was making a solo album with Bowie's guitarist Mick Ronson, it led to an irrevocable rift. Griffin, Watts and Fisher continued to play and record under the name Mott, but split up two years later. During the 80s, Griffin and Watts formed a production company and produced albums for Hanoi Rocks and The Cult. Griffin then joined the BBC and produced many of John Peel's Radio 1 sessions from 1981 to 1994, including Pulp, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana and Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease just as the Mott The Hoople reunion was about to begin. His parts were played by his friend, The Pretenders drummer Martin Chambers, although he joined the band on stage for encores during their five-night stint at the Hammersmith Apollo. Dale is survived by his long term partner Jean Smith. Cook takes charge of Pompey following the dismissal of former boss Andy Awford in April. Cook, 48, was in the dugout as the Spireites were knocked out of the League One play-offs following a 3-0 defeat at Preston on Sunday. "I'd like to thank the staff in all departments of the club for everything they have done during my time at the club," said Cook. "Most importantly, I'd also like to thank the players, who have been fantastic, both on and off the pitch. Finally, thanks to the fans for their superb support." Portsmouth said in a statement that talks were ongoing with Cook's assistant Leam Richardson about joining the coaching team at Fratton Park. Speaking to BBC Radio Solent, chief executive Mark Catlin said: "Paul was a unanimous choice of the board. He's had great success in League One and Two, and plays a good brand of football. "The compensation we've paid for Paul is relatively small in terms of the overall budget. The fans deserve the best and we feel we've gone out and got the best in Paul. "He has already decided which players he'll be keeping. He'll be letting them know as soon as possible." Cook had been in charge of Chesterfield since October 2012. He guided them to last season's League Two title and their good form continued this term with a sixth-placed finish. The former Wigan, Wolves and Burnley midfielder had previously managed Southport, Sligo Rovers in Ireland and Accrington Stanley. Chesterfield chief executive Chris Turner said they hoped to appoint a replacement as quickly as possible. "I could not have wished for a better working relationship than the one I have enjoyed with Paul over the last two-and-a-half-years and there is nobody more disappointed than me to see him leave," added Turner. "We will be looking to appoint Paul's successor as soon as possible and the incoming manager will be in the enviable position of inheriting a strong squad." The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said most of the dead were foreign fighters who had joined the IS cause. The group also said that 52 civilians - including women and children - had been killed in the strikes. Large swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq fell to IS earlier this year. A US-led coalition has been carrying out air strikes against IS in Syria since the end of September. Earlier this week the US commander in charge of the mission, Lt Gen James Terry, said it would "at least take a minimum of three years" to defeat IS. Researchers have uncovered stone tools in the Arabian peninsula that they say were made by modern humans about 125,000 years ago. The tools were unearthed at the site of Jebel Faya in the United Arab Emirates, a team reports in the journal Science. The results are controversial: genetic data strongly points to an exodus from Africa 60,000-70,000 years ago. Simon Armitage, from Royal Holloway, University of London, Hans-Peter Uerpmann, from the University of Tuebingen, Germany, and colleagues, uncovered 125,000-year-old stone tools at Jebel Faya which resemble those found in East Africa at roughly the same time period. The authors of the study say the people who made the tools were newcomers in the area with origins on the other side of the Red Sea. The researchers were able to date the tools using a light-based technique, which tells scientists when the stone artefacts were buried. So-called anatomically modern humans are thought to have emerged somewhere in Africa some 200,000 years ago. They later spread out, migrating to other continents where they displaced the indigenous human groups such as the Neanderthals in Europe and the Denisovans in Asia. DNA from the cell's powerhouses - or mitochondria - can be used as a "clock" for reconstructing the timing of human migrations. This is because mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) accumulates mutations, or changes, at a known rate. Studies of mtDNA had suggested a timing for the "Out of Africa" exodus of 60-70,000 years ago. But scientists behind the latest study argue that the people who made tools at Jebel Faya 125,000 years ago are ancestral to humans living outside Africa today. Professor Uerpmann said the estimates of time using genetic data were "very rough". "The domestic dog was said to be 120,000 years old, and now it is 20,000. You can imagine how variable the genetic dating is," he explained. Commenting on the findings, Professor Chris Stringer, a palaeoanthropologist at London's Natural History Museum, said: "This archaeological work by Armitage and colleagues provides important clues that early modern humans might have dispersed from Africa across Arabia, as far as the Straits of Hormuz, by 120,000 years ago. "This research augments the controversial idea that such populations could have migrated even further across southern Asia, despite conflicting genetic data that such movements only occurred after 60,000 years." The researchers say the toolmakers at Jebel Faya may have reached the Arabian Peninsula at a time when changes in the climate were transforming it from arid desert into a grassland habitat with lakes and rivers. These human groups could later have moved on towards the Persian Gulf, trekking around the Iranian coast and on to South Asia. Indeed, Dr Mike Petraglia at the University of Oxford has uncovered tools in India that he says could have been made by modern humans before 60,000 years ago. Some tools were sandwiched in ash from the eruption of the Toba super-volcano in Indonesia that geologists can date very accurately to 74,000 years ago. However, other researchers suggest that the people living in India at this time could have died out and been replaced by a later wave of humans. Anthropologists already knew of an early foray out of Africa by modern humans. Remains found at Skhul and Qafzeh in Israel date to between 119,000 and 81,000 years ago. But the Skhul and Qafzeh people are generally thought to have died out or retreated south, perhaps because of climatic fluctuations. They subsequently disappear, and their sites are re-occupied by Neanderthals. Professor Stringer said the fact that the tools found at Jebel Faya did not resemble those associated with modern humans at Qafzeh and Skhul hinted at "yet more complexity in the exodus of modern humans from Africa". He posed the question: "Could there have been separate dispersals, one from East Africa into Arabia, and another from North Africa into the Levant?" Paul.Rincon-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk The Chinese destroyer, frigate and supply ship will spend a week training with the Russian navy off Kaliningrad, a highly militarised Russian exclave. The destroyer called Hefei is a new Type 052D bristling with missiles. Russia is deploying two new corvettes, some other ships and military aircraft in the drills. Anti-submarine, anti-ship and rescue drills are planned. Chinese-Russian military drills have been held every year since 2012, but they are conducting them in the Baltic for the first time, closely watched by Nato. The Western alliance has boosted its forces in Poland and the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Nato accuses Russia of provocative military manoeuvres in the region. There is much anxiety in the three Baltic states - formerly part of the Soviet Union - because of Russia's role in the continuing conflict in eastern Ukraine. The Russian defence ministry says the most intensive drills with China will be from 25 to 27 July, and Russian will be the operational language. Russia's Baltic Fleet is based at Baltiysk. China's Type 052D destroyers are packed with weapons systems, including cruise missiles, anti-aircraft missiles and torpedoes. The Hefei became operational in December 2015. An article in China's People's Daily said the joint training "is just a regular activity held every other year and is not aimed at any third party or current situations". The aim is to develop the Chinese-Russian "comprehensive strategic partnership", it said. "China's use of the North Sea area is lawful and reasonable. Nato probably feels defensive in the face of the joint manoeuvres and certainly wishes China-Russia co-operation weakened," the article added, quoting an unnamed "observer". The 23-year-old Turk has made just one start this season and has lost the captaincy to Perry Kitchen. "If players are here they have to play football," Neilson told BBC Scotland. "He is at an age where he has to play. "If he gets back in the team then we continue negotiations and keep talking but he has to get in the team." John Souttar and Igor Rossi have been Neilson's preferred centre-back pairing this term, with Ozturk's current deal due to expire next summer. Neilson admitted it was hard breaking the change of captaincy news to Ozturk. "You have to make decisions in football," he added. "You are not going to keep everyone happy all the time. "I had a good conversation with Alim. He was disappointed but he understood and accepted the decision. He has just got to focus on his game and try and get himself back in the team. "Perry has come in and proven to be a real leader of the group. I thought he had established that leadership in there." Full-back Callum Paterson will also be out of contract at the end of this campaign and Neilson is relaxed about losing the Scotland international. The Edinburgh club rejected an approach for the 21-year-old from Wigan in August. "Callum is at the stage now where he is probably ready to move on," said Neilson. "We knocked back a bid in the summer that was nowhere near what we were looking to get for him. We will get good compensation, so it's now time for Callum to concentrate on his football and his form and we may get another 30 or 40 games out of him." Neilson thinks the lack of finance in the game in Scotland dictates that clubs do have to sell their assets when the time and the money is right. He said: "All Hearts players are up for sale. That's the way football is in Scotland, whether it's Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen or Hearts. "If a team comes in and pays the figure we are looking for then the player will move on. But it has to be the right figure that we are happy with." Party Leader Billy Hutchinson unveiled the 12-page document in east Belfast. The PUP, which had no MLAs in the last assembly, are running in six constituencies under the slogan "the change we need and the voice you want". The party has drawn up a contract with the electorate which highlights health, education, the economy, employment, housing and regeneration. On health the party wants to work to a "zero suicide goal, through prompt crisis intervention and coordinated action from the health and justice systems". On education the PUP wants to "end the cycle of educational underachievement and disadvantage in working class communities". In the area of employment it wants to support the six regional colleges in developing them as centres of excellence. The PUP also wants a national policy and action plan to tackle fuel poverty. On assisting local businesses the party wants to reduce out of town shopping with a "renewed emphasis on town-led regeneration". Party leader Billy Hutchinson said people were fed up with what they are being offered by the other parties. "Politics has got a bad name. What we are trying to do is to say to people we are not of the same ilk," he said. "Some of us want to get on with actually doing what is right for society," he said. He added that his party would work hard to particularly help those from deprived communities. Rab McKelvey had claimed his younger brother Garth was told he could not get on the bus at Belfast's Lisburn Road to get to his work at a charity shop. He said on Twitter the reason given for the refusal was his football jacket. Translink said it had "no customer policy referring to passenger clothing when travelling on the bus or train". "We have concluded a thorough investigation into this alleged incident which has included a full review of the high quality CCTV to identify the full facts of this matter," said a spokesperson for the public transport company. "From the evidence, we can concur that this incident did not happen as reported. "This has been a very serious complaint and as such our investigations have been completed without delay." She added: "We pride ourselves in providing vital public transport for the entire community." The development on the site of an old quarry at Kyleakin could create 55 full-time permanent jobs. The plant will produce food for the firm's Scottish fish farms as well as those in Norway, Ireland and the Faroe Islands. Marine Harvest hopes the new plant will be constructed by 2018. The cost of the project is expected to run to £93m. It had previously been estimated at £80m. Members of Highland Council's north planning committee voted through the plans by 13 votes to three. By then, twice as many mammals as now will be at risk of extinction, say conservationists. Climate change, loss of rainforest and hunting is a threat to many rare mammals on the island. But there is hope for species like the orang-utan if action is taken to focus conservation efforts on upland areas, scientists report in Current Biology. Borneo is the world's third largest island, accounting for 1% of the world's land yet about 6% of global biodiversity. The island has already lost over half its forests, a third disappearing in the last three decades. A team led by researchers at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology, University of Kent, UK, used modelling and satellite images to predict where rainforest will be lost over the next 65 years, based on predictions of climate change and changes in land use. Working with institutes in Germany, Australia and Indonesia, they mapped the likely suitable habitat for each of 81 Bornean mammals. They found that deforestation and climate change would lead to 30-49% of mammals losing at least a third of their habitat by 2080. This would put at least 15 carnivores, 8 primates and 21 bat species at risk of extinction by 2080, almost doubling the proportion of threatened mammals on the island, according to the research. But there is hope that better forestry management for conservation outside existing reserves could curb this loss, said lead researcher Dr Matthew Struebig. "Only a modest amount of additional land on Borneo (~28,000 km2, or 4% of the island) would be needed to safeguard many mammal species against threats from deforestation and climate change." The logging industry had a major role to play in conservation, given that they manage much of the land, he added. And since deforestation and climate change is likely to have the biggest impact on lowland forests, it made sense to target efforts to forests at higher elevations. Special efforts are needed for species like the flying fox and otter civit that would be unable to adapt to higher altitudes, said Dr Struebig. "It is not so much that species would be doomed, but more that their area requirements would unlikely be met in the land available for conservation," he explained. Writing in the journal Current Biology, the researchers described the outlook as "pessimistic", but said improving conservation outside existing reserves could help meet biodiversity goals. The dance bars were banned in 2005 by the state government which said they corrupted young people and were a front for crime and prostitution. Bar owners and dancers had bitterly protested against the ban. Before the ban, more than 100,000 women were employed in some 1,400 dance bars in the state. The women danced to Bollywood numbers and clients often threw money at them. Maharashtra's controversial ban was overturned by the high court in Mumbai in April 2006, but soon after the state government appealed in the Supreme Court which ordered the bars to remain closed until it gave its order. On Tuesday, Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justice SS Nijjar said the bars can reapply for their licences and they can reopen. At Belmarsh Magistrates' Court in south London, District Judge Howard Riddle said the extradition would not breach Mr Assange's human rights. Mr Assange said the ruling, which he will challenge, was due to a "European Arrest Warrant system run amok". The 39-year-old denies three allegations of sexual assault and one of rape last August in Stockholm. He believes the claims are politically motivated because of Wikileaks' publication of sensitive material - including leaked US diplomatic cables - from governments and high-profile organisations that has made headlines worldwide. Mr Assange has been released on bail on the same terms he was granted in December. Bail was granted then after he had spent nine days in Wandsworth prison in London following his arrest under a European Arrest Warrant on 7 December. Following the extradition ruling on Thursday, Mr Assange said: "What we saw today at Belmarsh was a rubber-stamping process. It comes as no surprise, but is nonetheless wrong. By Maddy SavageBBC News, at Belmarsh Magistrates' Court Julian Assange looked calm as District Judge Howard Riddle read his conclusions. But he remains in limbo as his lawyers begin to construct an appeal. It's likely to be tough - the judge commented that the defence team had already "left no stone unturned". The media circus that has surrounded this case continues, but fewer supporters turned out this morning compared with previous hearings. Some of those that did made themselves noticed by wearing orange jumpsuits and bearded Guy Fawkes masks as seen in the film V for Vendetta. They insist this case is politically motivated. Daniel Gianstefani, 16, from Australia, said: "The authorities want him to be sent away to stop him embarrassing them because they are afraid of the truth." The judge said he was confident Julian Assange was wanted in Sweden purely over sex assault allegations. His most critical comment toward the authorities was directed at Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, whom he accused of "improper intervention". "There was no consideration during this entire process as to the merits of the allegations made against me, no consideration or examination of even the complaints made in Sweden." He added: "We have always known that in all likelihood we would have to appeal." Judge Riddle dismissed the argument that Mr Assange would not receive a fair trial in Sweden that had been made by his lawyers during the two-and-a-half-day hearing earlier this month. They had argued that criticism by Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt had made Mr Assange "public enemy number one" in Sweden. But delivering his ruling on Thursday, the judge said: "The defence refer to the alleged denigration of the defendant by the Swedish prime minister. "For this reason and other reasons it is said Mr Assange will not receive a fair trial. I don't accept this was the purpose of the comment or the effect." Mr Assange's lawyer, Geoffrey Robertson QC, had also argued that rape trials in Sweden were regularly "tried in secret behind closed doors in a flagrant denial of justice". Clare Montgomery QC, for the Swedish authorities, told the hearing that evidence from a trial would be heard in private but the arguments would be made in public. Judge Riddle said that did not mean the trial would be unfair or breach human rights. Dismissing further arguments made by Mr Assange's lawyers, the judge found: During the hearing two weeks ago, Mr Robertson said his client could ultimately be extradited to the US on separate charges relating to Wikileaks - and could face the death penalty there. In response, Ms Montgomery said Sweden provided "protection against that sort of threat and violation" taking place. The European Court of Human Rights would intervene if Mr Assange was to face the prospect of "inhuman or degrading treatment or an unfair trial" in the US, she said. Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, the Ambulance Service and police went to the prison at about 17:55 GMT on Friday. A Prison Service spokesman said staff responded quickly to put the fires out, there were no injuries to staff and no wider disruption was caused to the prison. The prisoners were taken to the city's Morriston Hospital as a precaution. 23 February 2017 Last updated at 16:55 GMT Speaking in a rare interview with Olly Lambert for BBC Newsnight, Justice Ginsburg also reiterated the importance of the free press. Justice Ginsburg was attending the final dress rehearsal of Dead Man Walking at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC - an opera looking at the moral ambiguity of the death penalty in America. Justice Ginsburg was nominated by Bill Clinton and is regarded as a liberal. The 81-year-old from the town of Simbach am Inn first told police he had buried the money in his house which was now in danger of collapse. A team of experts was sent to search the house - but no treasure was found. The man then remembered he had hidden the box in his garden - and a "five-digit sum" of cash was then retrieved. The officials say an excavator was used to dig through the garden to find the container about two metres (six feet) under the surface. The cash will now be deposited in the bank account of the man whose name has not been released. Four people died in Simbach am Inn, on the Austrian border, in floods earlier this month. The floods also caused substantial damage to dozens of towns in the region. The England midfielder's temperament was questioned last season after he was given a three-match ban for punching West Brom's Claudio Yacob. But Alli, 20, has impressed this term and has just one booking from 14 games. "He is a big talent but he was a bit wild," said Pochettino. "Now he is more domesticated. You can't lose that side - it might make him a special player." Alli also made headlines for another incident last season when he was lucky to escape punishment when he kicked Fiorentina defender Nenad Tomovic in a Europa League fixture. "It is like when you have a wild horse and you need to put it in a box and domesticate it, no?" added Tottenham's Argentine manager. "It is all a process with the younger lads to be more mature, with more experience, now more focused on playing football. "He is special, a great guy. We have a very good relationship. He is a very emotional person and we all love him." Pochettino wants Vincent Janssen to stop putting himself under pressure, and insists the summer signing will score goals. Since joining Spurs from Dutch side AZ Alkmaar for £17m, the 22-year-old has scored once in 12 appearances. "It is true we and he would be happier if he was scoring, but it's a normal process," said Pochettino. "He wants to show he has the quality to score and maybe he puts a lot of pressure on himself." Janssen scored 27 goals in the Dutch Eredivisie last season and won the Johan Cruyff Trophy, awarded to the division's young player of the year. Pochettino added: "In the end, we need to calm him, say: 'Yes, good, don't worry, work hard, keep going and you will ensure you will score'." Janssen has featured in all six games England striker Harry Kane has missed since injuring an ankle on 18 September, playing over an hour in five of them. His only goal since moving to London came in the first game of that spell, a penalty in a 5-0 EFL Cup win over Gillingham. "He is not frustrated, he is disappointed," added Pochettino, whose side are third in the Premier League. "He's come from Holland and always those players from outside need time. He only needs time." Tottenham will go top of the Premier League if they win at Bournemouth on Saturday, as leaders Manchester City and second-placed Arsenal play later in the weekend. Pochettino will again be without Kane but believes the chance to take top spot means "it is impossible to have better motivation". The London 2012 gold medallist beat Darleys Perez in April to become Linares' mandatory challenger. "I've worked from Olympic champion to the number one spot in the WBA and WBC rankings, and I feel now is the time to take my chance," said Campbell, 29. Linares, 31, has beaten Briton Anthony Crolla in his past two fights. The Venezuelan claimed both victories via the scorecards but was particularly impressive in March as he defended the WBA title for the second time. He has held four world titles across three weight divisions in a 15-year professional career. "I know Luke Campbell is a tough competitor with an incredible amateur and professional background, but I am confident that I will emerge victorious," he said. In addition to the WBA world title, Linares will also defend the WBC Diamond title and Ring Magazine belt at Los Angeles' "Fabulous" Forum. 'The Golden Boy' was awarded the Diamond title when a hand injury meant he could not defend the WBC's main belt. The Ring Magazine title can only change hands under specified criteria but will be on the line as the bout pits a recognised champion against the WBA's top-ranked fighter. No English fighter has held the Ring Magazine title at lightweight, with Scots Ken Buchanan and Jim Watt the only Britons to have done so. Campbell added: "All the pressure is on Jorge and I am so confident I am going to leave with all three belts. "I have tremendous respect for Jorge and this is going to be an unbelievable fight but this is the opportunity I have been waiting for as a professional and I must and will take it." Campbell has won 17 of his 18 fights, while Linares has 42 wins from 45 contests. The ring was bought by the Puy du Fou foundation, which runs a historical theme park in France, at auction in London for $425,000 (£300,000). Joan gave it to an English cardinal before she was burned at the stake. The Puy foundation said the ring's return to France was highly symbolic. The French heroine is thought to have handed the ring to England's Cardinal Henry Beaufort on the eve of her execution in 1431. It remained in England ever since, and there is thorough documentation to establish its provenance. On Friday it was flown back to France. Puy du Fou president Nicolas de Villiers told French TV it was a "glorious return" for a "French treasure". The foundation appealed to donors to help it bid enough for the ring, which will be officially unveiled this month. The Puy du Fou foundation runs a historical theme park near Nantes in western France that attracts about two million visitors a year. A teenage peasant girl-turned-war commander, Joan of Arc did her utmost to defeat English forces who had invaded France. She advised the heir to the French throne and even led forces in war from 1429 until 1431, when she was captured. The young heroine was then burned at the stake as a heretic and sorcerer by the English. Battle for Joan of Arc's legacy Radio 4: The invention of Joan of Arc Made in about 1400, the silver gilt devotional ring bears the inscription 'IHS' and 'MAR' for Jesus and Mary. It matches the description Joan gave at her trial of the ring given to her by her parents and its connection to Joan has been documented for more than a century. The ring was offered for sale by the son of James Hasson, a French doctor who came to the UK with General de Gaulle in World War Two, Timeline Auctions said. The doctor himself had bought the ring at auction in 1947 for £175. The auctioneer initially estimated its value at between £10,000 and £14,000 ($14,000 and $20,000) - but it sold for almost 30 times that amount. Norges Bank is currently looking for a company that it considers to be overpaying executives, and will then use that firm as an example in a report to outline the fund's position on pay. With stakes in more than 9,000 companies and worth $870bn (£595bn), Norway's fund has a powerful voice. In the UK, there have recently been a series of shareholder revolts over pay. Last week 72% of shareholders in engineering firm Weir Group rejected a proposed pay scheme. That vote was binding and the company will now have to come up with a fresh plan. In the past Norway's wealth fund has not taken a position on executive pay, so its focus on the issue is being seen as significant by the fund management industry. "The Norwegian state sovereign wealth fund has always been quite passive in how it has approached its shareholdings, if a company has done something it hasn't liked it's sold the shares and walked away," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. "I think now it is taking a more active stewardship approach, i.e. debating with the company," he added. Last month 59% of BP shareholders voted against a 20% pay rise for chief executive Bob Dudley, that would have netted him £14m. The vote against the increase was non-binding, but BP's chairman said at the annual meeting that the sentiment would be reflected in future pay deals. That was a "remarkable" moment according to Stefan Stern, a director at the High Pay Centre, a think tank which monitors executive salaries. "I do think there is a feeling that things have been getting out of hand," he said. "Shareholders have signed off on pay structures they didn't understand and now we're seeing buyer's remorse," he added. Three-year cycle In the UK, every three years shareholders receive a chance to vote on the way the formula for executive pay is constructed. That vote is binding, so the board needs the support of a majority of shareholders, to secure the deal. Votes between these three-year cycles are not binding, but can create embarrassment for the executives involved. The peer said he felt "regret" if he had unintentionally "hurt" any women but would not apologise for something he "had not done". He was considering a legal bid to reverse the suspension, the peer added. Bridget Harris, one of his accusers and a former adviser to party leader Nick Clegg, welcomed the action against him. It signalled that "this kind of behaviour is not tolerated", she explained on Sky news. "I absolutely welcome the fact that the Liberal Democrats have taken the very strong message that if someone is not willing to apologise and they're not willing to accept responsibility for their behaviour then they shouldn't be entitled to be a member of the Liberal Democrats." Profile: Lord Rennard Lord Rennard resigned the party whip last year amid claims, which he denies, that he had made unwanted sexual advances to several women and touched them inappropriately. The allegations were investigated by senior barrister Alistair Webster QC, who concluded they could not be proved beyond reasonable doubt. But he also said the evidence of the four women who lodged complaints was "broadly credible" and urged the peer to apologise. Lord Rennard says he cannot apologise for legal reasons, as it would be an admission of guilt. In a 2,600 word statement, he said he had suffered from "severe stress, anxiety and depression" as a result of the allegations. "If ever I have hurt, embarrassed or upset anyone, then it would never have been my intention and, of course, I regret that they may have felt any hurt, embarrassment or upset," he said. "But for the reasons given, I will not offer an apology to the four women complainants. I do not believe that people should be forced to say what they know they should not say, or do not mean." The party has been convulsed by a deepening row over how to handle the fallout from the Webster report. After hours of speculation as to whether the Lib Dem peer would rejoin his party in the Lords, the Lib Dems confirmed they had decided at a meeting of their Regional Parties Committee to take fresh disciplinary action against him. He is suspended from the party while it investigates whether he has brought it into disrepute by refusing to apologise. A further statement issued on behalf of Lord Rennard added: "He does not wish to see legal action between fellow Liberal Democrats but his membership of the party matters more to him than anything apart from family and friends. Indeed he feels that the party is also his family. "He believes that the suspension of his membership announced this morning should be lifted... and that Liberal Democrats should act in the best spirits of the party that he joined as a teenager. "In the light of the extraordinary decision by the English Regional Parties Committee, Lord Rennard is having to take legal advice with a view to civil action against the party." BBC deputy political editor James Landale said the suspension would not draw a line under the saga. Lord Rennard will still be able to attend Parliament and vote in Lords debates as an independent peer. The BBC understands the Lib Dems want a "short and sharp" disciplinary process - likely to be led by a independent legal figure - to begin as soon as possible. If he is found to have brought the party into disrepute, the peer could face potential expulsion from the party. Speaking to BBC Breakfast before the action was taken, Mr Clegg suggested Lord Rennard should apologise as a matter of "basic decency". He added: "I have a duty of care not only to those women... I have a duty to say loud and clear as leader of the Liberal Democrats that I expect everybody to treat each other with civility and dignity... particularly people in a position of authority." One of the other complainants, Alison Smith, said: "The reason we pursued the Rennard issue doggedly is to change the culture for the future. "Politics will only be a safer place for women if all parties make difficult choices and change from within." But Lib Dem Euro MP Chris Davies backed the former chief executive, saying he had been "through a year of hell". "This is a good, decent man who is being punished by the party with a leadership that seems to be showing scant regard for due process and the presumption of innocence," he said. Oram, 34, who retired from Test cricket in 2009 after winning 33 caps, was released from his central contract with the Kiwis last December. Sri Lanka's Thilan Samaraweera is scheduled to be Worcestershire's overseas player for the whole season. He should now be joined by Oram for the county's opening FL t20 game on 28 June against Glamorgan at New Road. Media playback is not supported on this device "I have never played county cricket. It has always been a goal of mine," said Oram. "The opportunity to play for Worcestershire in this season's Friends Life t20 was something I could not turn down. "Another attraction to Worcestershire was the chance to play at New Road. "I have played a few games there for New Zealand, in 2004 and 2008, as well as the New Zealand youth team in 1996. "It's a beautiful ground and one that I will be privileged to call home, at least for a month." Oram now only plays T20 cricket, reaching 99 appearances when he helped Chittagong Kings to the third preliminary final of the Bangladesh Premier League three weeks ago. He looks set to reach his century during the forthcoming Indian Premier League season, in which he is part of the Mumbai Indians franchise. He has also played 160 one-day internationals and 36 Twenty20s for New Zealand, his most recent appearance for the Black Caps having come against Sri Lanka last November. "I've admired Jacob's all-round qualities for some time now and his Twenty20 experience, which he has gained from global competitions, is a major plus factor," added Worcestershire coach Steve Rhodes. "He can bowl at the start, middle or end of the innings and can clear the ropes as a batsman." Bradford Crown Court heard how 48-year-old arthritis sufferer Ray Thompson barged into Dr Usman Hanif's room at the Shipley Health Centre and demanded his prescription for painkillers. He then locked the door and barricaded it with an examination couch until he got his medicine. Thompson of Dirkhill Road, Bradford, pleaded guilty to false imprisonment. More on this and other West Yorkshire stories Prosecutor Laura McBride told the court the incident, which took place in February, started when Thompson entered the office as Dr Hanif was talking to another patient on the phone. Ms McBride said Thompson disconnected the call and said he would "deal with" the doctor if he didn't get his painkillers. The doctor asked a nurse to call the police. The court heard that during the 15-minute ordeal Thompson made racist remarks towards the GP and threatened to physically hurt him if he did not get the prescription. After the GP printed out the prescription Thompson pulled the furniture away from the door and went to a nearby pharmacy, where he placed chairs by the entrance while he went behind the counter to get the painkillers. He was arrested by police about an hour later. In a victim impact statement Dr Hanif said he had not experienced anything on that scale before and he described Thompson as being aggressive, abusive and extremely violent in his nature. As far as they are concerned it is already 2016 and we are now into a season that promises to be like no other in living memory. This, principally, is because of golf's return to the Olympics next August. Players are not just competing for Ryder Cup, FedEx Cup and Race to Dubai points. They are also trying secure rights to represent their countries in Rio. The prospect of playing in the first Olympic golf tournaments since the St Louis Games of 1904 has become a central part of the golfing narrative. Top stars are jockeying for position in qualifying tables, while adjusting to the conventions and rules that go with being an Olympian. "The drug testing is going to be a big challenge," Great Britain team leader Jamie Spence told BBC Sport. "The players are going to have to make sure they have their whereabouts known. "It's going to be a huge new thing for them. They are going to have to comply like all the other athletes do." In the years since golf declared its interest in becoming an Olympic sport it has been changing its ways and adopting a more modern outlook. The leading tours have introduced their own doping programmes while governing bodies such as the R&A and Augusta National finally recognised they could no longer be male-only organisations. Golf is now living by the rules of the sporting world at large. These have been welcome developments despite an absence of universal approval within the game. Australia's Adam Scott, for one, is no fan of Olympic golf. The former world number one sees it as nothing more than an exhibition and scheduling inconvenience. By refreshing contrast, the current top dog, American Jordan Spieth, views going for gold as akin to playing a fifth major. "Just competing in the Olympics, just walking in the opening ceremony, staying in the village, meeting these incredible athletes from around the world - hopefully that's something I'll be able to experience next August," the 22-year-old enthused. "Winning a gold medal has got to be up there now, in my mind, with winning a major championship. "I think this year we're going to approach it as a fifth major and we're going to prepare like it is." Spieth will be part of a strong American team in Rio. The top 15 in the men's and women's qualifying tables are guaranteed a place at the Games, up to a maximum of four per country. The rest of the 60-player fields for each event are made up of the leading two players from each country that does not already have two qualifiers when the qualifying period ends on 11 July. According to the current standings, Justin Rose (fifth) and Danny Willett (14th) would be Britain's men's representatives while in the women's competition Charley Hull (21st) and Catriona Matthew (30th) would wear British colours. Spence has already visited Rio to check the pristine course that will stage both 72-hole strokeplay tournaments. The 52-year-old veteran of 463 European Tour events was pleasantly surprised by the Gil Hanse-designed layout. "Contrary to reports, it's a great design and it's in really good condition with plenty of grass on it," he told BBC Sport. "There are no tees on the course. You are either on the fairway or in the scrub. "You just sort of tee off on the fairway, next to the previous green. It's really, really interesting and the bunkers are well placed. "I went there expecting a four out of 10, hearing everything I'd heard, and I came away thinking 'this is a really good eight and a half, nine'." It is welcome news for players who have been rethinking schedules to cope with the shoe-horning of the Olympic tournaments into the busiest part of the golfing calendar. In the men's game there will be only one week between the last two majors of the year, the Open at Royal Troon and the US PGA at Baltusrol. "Yes, there is a lot of upset and upheaval in the world of golf, which some players aren't that keen on," Spence admitted. "But it's very important that the Olympics has prime spot, which it's going to have in early August." There is at least one British player who has privately expressed strong reservations about the prospect of becoming an Olympian but he is in a minority and those closest to qualifying are full of enthusiasm for Rio. "For me it's a huge opportunity," Rose told BBC Sport. "My wife Kate is a former European champion gymnast in sports acrobatics, which was never recognised [as an Olympic sport]. "But she hoped one day it would be, so the Olympics for her was always a dream and a goal. In my house it is a big deal and it's definitely a goal of mine to represent Team GB and go there and win a medal." Spence has been struck by Rose's obvious enthusiasm. "He was talking to me about this six, seven months ago. That's all he wanted to talk about - Danny Willett, as well. "Catriona and Charley are really excited. I think for the women it's going to be a really big deal. "It is going to give them a massive platform, a massive audience and all of them I have spoken to are incredibly excited." Spence believes men's golf needs a fifth major away from the US. And the Kent professional thinks the Olympics will only help in this regard. "If, say, an Indian was leading, you'd get a massive audience in India," he said. "They're going to see a different game on TV." The biggest criticism is the staid choice of 72-hole strokeplay. Spence feels the International Golf Federation should have been more imaginative. "I think they could have gone two rounds of strokeplay to qualify and then a 16-player matchplay at the weekend," he said. "I would have liked to have seen a gold medal match on the Sunday afternoon and the third- and fourth-place game would actually mean something because they are playing for a medal. "Maybe after this initial burst they might look at that and come up with something different. I hope they do." It is vital golf proves itself as a spectacle in Rio. The game is guaranteed to be part of the Tokyo Games in 2020 but could simultaneously find itself bidding farewell to the Olympic family. Golf will need to survive a 2017 vote on whether it should retain Olympic status beyond the Japanese Games. Were it to lose out, the sport would suffer a massive blow to its international prosperity. As Spence says: "For the game to grow it's got to be a success. "We've got to get out of this fuddy-duddy old man's image. Look how fit the modern-day golfer is these days, the way they work out - men and women. "It's a game worthy of being an Olympic sport," he added. "You have to have that patience, that mental dexterity, keeping calm under pressure but you also need the power and touch. "I think it ticks all the boxes for an Olympic sport." Engineers are still trying to winch One Old Peculiar out of the water after it was one of two boats that came loose on Monday and crashed into Botley Bridge. The Environment Agency has so far unsuccessfully tried pumping out water and towing it with a tractor. Owner John Simmonds, 35, said he had lost everything and feels "gobsmacked". He said the boat was properly secured when he left it for 30 to 45 minutes to get some lunch, but had been unmoored when he returned. Mr Simmonds, who works as a computer programmer, said the cause could be "delinquency" and added: "I don't think it was personal, I don't have many enemies. "Some people may not realise how these things can escalate very, very quickly." He added he was not sure whether he had valid insurance for the narrow boat. Russell Robson, Environment Agency team leader, said he was "optimistic" the latest attempt would work. He said the river conditions meant it was too dangerous to put divers inside the 25-tonne boat. Mr Robson added: "That has prevented us from using flotation to get the vessel higher in the water and pump it out. "What we're looking to do is to attach steel to it and use a winch to try and winch it across the river and control it coming out via other winches attached to the land on either side." Sir Ian Wood said that if prices stayed where they were then more tax breaks would be needed to ensure continued investment in the North Sea. He said crude prices below $50 a barrel were unsustainable. There have been recent concerns expressed that prices could slip to as low as $30 a barrel. The economic slowdown in China is seen as a major factor. Sir Ian told the BBC: "The industry is right now facing as tough a time as it has ever faced. "I think government and industry must get together and talk about the tax regime. "There must be some clever thinking to incentivise investment. "Otherwise we will not be in a position to take advantage of the upturn." Earlier this month, the lower oil price forced Premier Oil to re-negotiate its debt conditions with lenders. Reece Elliott, 24, of Foss Way, South Shields, made the threat in February on online memorial pages for two Tennessee girls killed in car accidents. About 3,000 pupils in Warren County missed school the next day as a result. Elliott, who pleaded guilty at Newcastle Crown Court in April, was jailed for two years and four months. The father-of-one admitted one count of making a threat to kill and eight of sending grossly offensive messages. He had been held in custody since his arrest. Elliott targeted a tribute page to 17-year-old Caitlin Talley, a popular pupil at Warren County High, who had died in a car accident in October. He also posted comments on the site of a 15-year-old girl who cannot be named. Using a false name, he wrote on the RIP Caitlin Talley page: "My father has three guns. I'm planning on killing him first and putting him in a dumpster. "Then I'm taking the motor and I'm going in fast. I'm gonna kill hopefully at least 200 before I kill myself. So you want to tell the deputy, I'm on my way." He added: "I'm killing 200 people minimum at school. I will be on CNN." At his first appearance at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court in February, Gary Buckley, prosecuting, said: "The residents of Warren County and all the people who have access to the Facebook page were clearly concerned. "I am told that the local authority immediately put all the local schools in the area on what was called lockdown. "Because of the hysteria caused, around 3,000 children were kept off school on that specific day." Sentencing Elliott to 28 months in jail, Judge James Goss QC, the Recorder of Newcastle, told him the offences were driven by "no more than self-indulgent nastiness". He added Elliott's early guilty plea and genuine remorse had been taken into account. Two months before Elliott posted the threats, 20 children and six adults were shot and killed at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. After the posts were found to have originated in the UK, the FBI contacted the Metropolitan Police, who in turn worked with Northumbria officers. Elliott contacted his solicitor and walked into his local police station to admit what he had done when he realised the outcry he had caused. Det Ch Insp Ged Noble, who led the investigation on Tyneside, said: "It was established that Elliott did not pose any physical threat to any schools, either here or in America. "However, his actions were extremely worrying and distressing for the families involved and clearly crossed the line to criminal behaviour. "Today's sentencing marks the end of what has been a complex investigation. From the outset we have worked very closely with law enforcement agencies in the USA and our Crown Prosecution Service. "Investigating reports of criminal behaviour on social network sites has its challenges, but we have staff who are trained in navigating these systems and identifying who the offenders are. "New guidelines on dealing with people who post offensive messages using social media have been released by the Director of Public Prosecutions and we will continue to work closely with the Crown Prosecution Service to take action against those who cross the line from their right to free speech to committing criminal offences." The court heard Elliott had 17 previous convictions for 28 offences, including at the age of 16 an attempted robbery on a bookmakers when he was armed with an axe, and a racially aggravated public order offence in a pizza shop. John Wilkinson, defending said Elliott was described by a psychiatrist as emotionally immature and impulsive. He said his client could not explain his behaviour, which the defendant admitted was "idiotic, childish and pathetic". It was flown inside a small lantern on a special flight from the Swiss city of Geneva to Brasilia. President Dilma Rousseff lit the Olympic torch which will be carried around Brazil by 12,000 runners. But it could be one of President Rousseff's last public acts ahead of a possible impeachment trial. The Senate is expected to vote next week on whether proceedings against her should go ahead. If a simple majority votes in favour, Ms Rousseff will be suspended from office for up to 180 days and Vice-President Michel Temer will take over. Ms Rousseff is accused of manipulating government accounts ahead of her re-election in 2014. She has denied the charges and says the impeachment proceedings are a "coup d'etat" designed to remove her Workers' Party from office. The BBC's Wyre Davies in Brasilia says that generating public support for the Rio Games will be one of the main challenges during the torch's 95 day journey around Brazil. Aside from the political crisis Brazil's economy has slumped. The torch will pass through more than 300 towns and cities from the Amazon to Brazil's southern border, arriving at the Maracana Stadium in Rio on 5 August. Among the first torchbearers will be a Syrian refugee who now lives in Brazil.

"This window has allowed Paddy to put his hand up and say 'well, that shouldn't be an automatic choice'," said the Ireland coach. Sexton is expected to be fit for the France game in Dublin. British & Irish Lions star Sexton, 31, has missed Ireland's first two Six Nations games because of a calf muscle injury. Schmidt added: "Johnny has proven that he can come straight back into a side and hit the ground running, and he's done that for us on other occasions. "I think Paddy certainly learned a lot in South Africa through that summer series. "He learned a lot in November as well, particularly in that game against New Zealand where he came under a lot of pressure and had to make some decisions with very little time and space. "And then again last week he did very well to lead us back into the game. He kicked well again today." After last weekend's surprise opening defeat by Scotland, Ireland could afford no slip-ups in Rome and Schmidt was pleased by his team's display. "It was a good performance. We looked after the ball well and asked a fair bit of the Italians defensively," added the Ireland coach. After the concession of three first-half tries contributed massively to the Murrayfield defeat, Schmidt was pleased with his team's fast start at the Stadio Olimpico as they went on to score nine tries. "The players felt that [they needed to make a statement]. We know how good they can be." Keith Earls and CJ Stander both scored two first-half tries to secure the Six Nations' first ever win bonus point with the flanker going on to complete a hat-trick - a feat later matched by replacement Craig Gilroy. Schmidt was also delighted with centre Garry Ringrose's try-scoring display after the Leinster youngster's nervous first half at Murrayfield. "I felt sorry for him in the first 20 or 30 [minutes] last week when he was in a Six Nations game for the first time and it probably freaked him a little bit," said Schmidt. "But it's great that he built a bit of confidence from his second-half performance last week and I thought he was super today." Jamie Heaslip, who captained Ireland after Rory Best was ruled out by illness, felt the victory margin flattered the visitors as they notched four tries in the final 12 minutes. "The final score put a nice shine on it," said the number eight. Italy coach Conor O'Shea admitted they had faced a team "better in every department than us". "It was a tough day," added the Italian boss, who played 35 times for Ireland. "In the first 20 minutes we took a battering. We talked about Ireland's ability to hold the ball through the phases, and the first 20 minutes took a physical and mental toll on us. "But we will never hang our heads. We have to get ready in one week's time and be focused for England at Twickenham." For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter. Firefighters believe the fire started accidentally just before 24:00 GMT in the spare bedroom of her semi-detached bungalow at Iniscarn Court. Gemma McDaid became aware there was something wrong when her lights flickered in the kitchen as the fire was affecting the electrics. A man who was passing by helped her to safety. "He saved my life and I wouldn't be here today but only for him", she said. "I must have turned on my electric fire and there must have been something near it. "It took me a while to realise that the fire was coming from my house." Fire officer David Nicholl said that the house did not have a working smoke alarm. "I cannot stress enough the need for everyone to have a working smoke alarm," he said. "It gives you an early warning which can save lives." Matthew Whelan, 30, was said to be high on drink and drugs when he beat and stabbed Imtiaz ul Haq at the Costcutter store in Queensferry on 8 December last year. Mold Crown Court heard Mr Haq, 59, was "lucky to be alive" after he suffered stab wounds to his throat and head. Whelan, from Mancot, admitted attempted murder and robbery. The court was told he took a knife to the shop to commit robbery and when Mr Haq went to press the alarm button, he was determined to prevent him "at all costs". Judge Rhys Rowlands said Whelan used a knife to inflict "the most terrible injuries". Giving evidence, Mr Haq said he knew he only had a few minutes left until "he would be no more". A surgeon told him he had never previously seen anyone survive such an injury. Defence barrister Andrew Green said Whelan had little recollection of what happened because he had been binging on drink and drugs, but was "genuinely remorseful". Whelan was sentenced as a dangerous offender and must serve two thirds of his 20-year sentence before he can be considered for release. Chloe Gilbert, 15, from Seend, Wiltshire, died in Southgate shopping centre in Bath, on Sunday 5 March. Her family described her as "beautiful and talented". "The cause of Chloe's death has yet to be ascertained, however we believe it may have been as a result [of] something she had eaten," they said in a statement. "Chloe was diagnosed from an early age with an allergy to dairy products. "Our whole family and so many of Chloe's friends have been left devastated at this sudden and tragic event. "We urge anyone who has an allergy to seek immediate medical assistance if they believe they are suffering any form of reaction." Emergency services were called to the shopping centre just before 15:00 GMT on Sunday but Chloe died a short time later. Investigations into the cause of death are ongoing. Trotters forward Zach Clough had the best chance of a tame first half as his ambitious overhead kick went just wide. Wanderers started the second period brightly and were rewarded when Clough curled home an unstoppable strike. However, deep in injury time Phillips' low strike squeezed past home keeper Ben Amos to steal a point for QPR. Media playback is not supported on this device The result means Bolton move up to 23rd place as a result of Charlton's defeat at Fulham, whilst QPR move up to 12th position. It was an emotional afternoon at the Macron Stadium as Bolton, who were playing at home for the first time since the death of their chairman Phil Gartside, were visibly distraught with Phillips' last-minute leveller. The visitors' dreadful form under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will be of real concern for Rangers fans, having now won just two of the Dutchman's 13 league games in charge. Bolton manager Neil Lennon: "It feels like a defeat, it's heart-breaking. We've managed to get a point out of the game but we needed three. "The manner in which we conceded the late goal is disappointing. It was poor from us at a time when we should be seeing the danger out. "There are plenty of games left and we all believe we can still get out of the position we are in. We don't look like a team languishing at the bottom of the league right now." Queens Park Rangers manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink: "They were a little bit more desperate as they needed the three points because of where they are. "I feel like we didn't really create but neither did they it was that kind of game. "It was not pretty, it was not a classic but just two teams trying to find their way who couldn't really find their way." Have you added News Alerts in the BBC Sport app?

Now they simply must beat Scotland, with the visitors also knowing that anything less than a victory will leave them with an uphill struggle to reach the play-offs. BBC Scotland's Alasdair Lamont was at Saturday's match in Ljubljana and pinpoints some of Slovakia's strengths and weaknesses. Jan Durica: The veteran defender is at once a key component of Jan Kozak's defence and a potential liability. In the absence of the suspended Martin Skrtel against Slovenia, Slovakia reverted to a back three, which looked flustered by the pressing of their opponents. On one such occasion, the 34-year-old made an outstanding last-ditch challenge to prevent a likely goal. But though he looks assured in bringing the ball out from the back, any pace he once had is fading and on more than one occasion the alertness of the Slovenian attack left him struggling. He was posted missing at the winning goal and if he partners Skrtel against Scotland, some of his frailties could be exploited. Juraj Kucka: The experienced midfielder worked energetically, without ever earning any significant reward for his efforts. But the Milan player did display evidence of his undoubted class at times, principally when working back the way to assist his under-pressure defence. Like many of his team-mates, though, he failed to hit the heights he is capable of, something he will surely look to put right against Scotland. Marek Hamsik: The same goes for captain-for-the-night Hamsik. The Napoli star showed only fleeting glimpses of his creative brilliance, shackled as he was by Rene Krhin. Given the chance, Hamsik, 29, has shown at both club and international level he can both create goals and score them himself from an advanced midfield role. Against Slovenia, he had virtually no opportunity to impose himself in that manner and with Steven Pressley in attendance to file a report for Scotland boss Gordon Strachan, a man-marking job on one of Serie A's biggest talents might be a worthwhile recommendation.

It will be the second Old Firm clash of the season after Celtic thumped their Glasgow rivals 5-1 in their first Premiership meeting on 10 September. Rangers beat Queen of the South 5-0 on Tuesday, while Celtic beat Alloa 2-0. Morton, in their first League Cup semi-final for 37 years, will face Aberdeen, who pipped St Johnstone 1-0. Morton beat fellow Championship side Dundee United 2-1 in the quarter-finals. The semi-finals will be played on the weekend of 22 and 23 October. Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes started his playing career at Morton, making over 200 appearances for the Greenock side. "I am pleased Morton are in the semi-final, that is my club," McInnes told BBC Scotland. "They gave me my start. "I have huge respect for everyone there, and the work that the chairman and [manager] Jim (Duffy) are doing. I'm delighted they're doing so well. "It'll be interesting playing against them. Hopefully we will go there in form, hopefully we can keep this killer instinct and winning mentality we have discovered going." The region includes Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Neath Port Talbot. It has been set up to develop tourism and inward investment and is about growth and not words, says the boss. It comes after a report commissioned by the Welsh government showed economic growth increasingly happens in regions centred on a city, attracting higher skilled jobs and pay. There are also plans for a Cardiff city region to include Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare, Pontypool, Newport, Bridgend and Barry. The idea is to remove boundaries that exist between council areas and organisations to allow for more joined-up thinking as experts found city areas create a big part of the UK's economic output. Dr Elizabeth Haywood, who chaired a panel looking at new city regions in Wales last year, told BBC Radio Wales that Welsh cities have not been "punching at their weight" until now. Following that report, business leaders and local authorities have joined forces with the Welsh government to create the Swansea Bay city region, pledging to work together to create jobs and promote economic regeneration. Economy Minister Edwina Hart said a collective approach with a region coming together could deliver. "I am sure we can boost economic growth and create a sustainable future where the economy can grow and where opportunity can be created for the people of the region, and Wales," she said. The minister will be at Thursday's strategy launch at Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli along with Swansea council leader David Phillips who will chair the Swansea Bay city region board. "This is an important day for the 700,000 people who live in this first Welsh city region," he said. "This will not be about words. It will be about jobs, investment and transformational projects which benefit the people and businesses of south west Wales." Steve Penny, who chairs Swansea's economic regeneration partnership, said: "It demonstrates that as communities, businesses and government we can and will collaborate to promote our joint aspirations for jobs and economic regeneration." He is currently the secretary of state for culture, media and sport. The MP for Maldon and East Chelmsford, 56, was previously chairman of the influential Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee for 10 years. Before becoming an MP in 1992 he was political secretary to former prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Mr Whittingdale had a relationship with a woman he met on an online dating website who turned out to be an escort. He says he had no idea she was a sex worker and ended the relationship when he found out in 2014 - before he was made a government minister with responsibility for press regulation. Four newspapers knew about the relationship but decided not to publish the story. The newspapers involved, and many of the media pundits who have had their say so far, say there was simply no public interest in publishing a story about the love life of a single man who was not a government minister. But campaign group Hacked Off points to Mr Whittingdale's remit, which includes press regulation, saying the papers have questions to answer about why the story never saw the light of day. Hacked Off - and the Labour Party - say the unpublished story presented a potential conflict of interest for Mr Whittingdale, in particular concerning his decisions on how tightly the press should be controlled. His position has been compromised, they say. Labour's Chris Bryant, who was previously shadow culture secretary, says it "seems the press were quite deliberately holding a sword of Damocles over John Whittingdale". Mr Whittingdale did not inform Downing Street about the story when he was made culture secretary, and No 10 confirmed it was not aware of the relationship. BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the question for him was not about the relationship, but about his role in regulating the press when the newspapers had a story about his private life. Mr Whittingdale denies his decision-making was affected. Kuenssberg: Why does the story matter now? The backdrop to the row is the Leveson Inquiry into press standards, established in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal which led to the closure of the News of the World in 2011 after revelations journalists illegally accessed people's phones for stories. Published in 2012, the inquiry made a number of recommendations and many newspapers were strongly opposed to key parts. Newspapers have set up their own regulator, the Independent Press Standards Organisation, but Hacked Off says important parts of Lord Leveson's report have not been implemented. In particular, one of the regulations would require newspapers to pay libel costs even if they won a case brought against them, should they not have previously offered a low-cost means of resolving the claim. There is also due to be a second part of the inquiry, looking at ties between newspapers and the police, which could not take place until criminal cases had been completed. There have been reports this inquiry has been shelved, but the government says it has not yet decided whether to pursue it. A Downing Street spokesman said: "We've always said that criminal investigations and legal processes relating to Leveson need to have fully concluded before we consider part two." Press regulation: What you need to know The opposition has called on Mr Whittingdale to withdraw from decisions on press regulation. His opposite number, Maria Eagle, said he had "reneged" on a cross-party agreement to implement Leveson having previously supported it when select committee chairman. She said he should "recuse himself" from decisions on the subject "in order for the public to have any confidence in the government's approach to press regulation". Downing Street sources say it would be ludicrous for Mr Whittingdale to be vulnerable because of a decision by newspapers not to publish a story about him. The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg said there was no sense Labour would get its demand, adding that it was important to note Mr Whittingdale as a political character would always have be expected to favour "light touch" regulation of the press. The culture secretary put out a statement saying the "old story" about his relationship had been "a bit embarrassing at the time". He added: "The events occurred long before I took up my present position and it has never had any influence on the decisions I have made as culture secretary." Downing Street said he was "a single man entitled to a private life" and had the full confidence of the prime minister. Should the story have been published in any case? On the Today programme, Hacked Off's Evan Harris said there were public interest arguments in favour of publication, including the fact that Mr Whittingdale had "lectured" former F1 boss Max Mosley, who had been the subject of a tabloid expose, during a committee hearing. He also said "these sorts of stories" are often run with no public interest justification. Former News of the World deputy editor Neil Wallis said such a story may have been published in the pre-Leveson era, but said under the new regime it had been judged not to merit publication. Media pundit Steve Hewlett said the newspapers had in fact behaved "entirely in keeping with the way that the privacy campaigners wanted them to behave in any other circumstances". Some have accused Hacked Off themselves of hypocrisy for calling for publication of a story about Mr Whittingdale's private life having long campaigned against press intrusion. While Mr Whittingdale does not look like losing his responsibility for press regulation as Labour demand, Laura Kuenssberg said a reshuffle was expected in the aftermath of the EU referendum. She added: "This is certainly the kind of headache that the government could do without, and it's the kind of story, involving politicians, the papers, and sex, that could well take an unpredictable turn."

Belfast-born Huston, who is ranked 39 in the world, will make his Olympic debut after finishing third in the European Championships in May. Huston, 20, was also part of the Team GB squad that narrowly missed out on a bronze medal at the Archery World Cup. Both will compete in the individual recurve event as Team GB look to add to their nine Olympic medals. The event is a legacy of the Giro D'Italia race, part of which was staged in Northern Ireland in 2014. It began in Belfast at 07:00 BST and split into two separate routes - the main one through the Mourne mountains and the other towards Strangford Lough. The race was won by Mark Kane of Dave Kane Cycling Club. Laura Wylie was the first female cyclist to finish. A large police operation was in place and hundreds of volunteers helped to marshal the event, however, many drivers experienced long delays and disruption along the route. Last year, the organisers were criticised by motorists who complained about being caught up in lengthy traffic delays. Organiser Darach McQuaid said the two rides went "superbly" and praised police for their efforts in managing traffic along the route. "Clearly we have disrupted some people and we apologise for that but I think it's a big success for Northern Ireland to be able to attract an event of this size," he said. "We've done our utmost to promote the gateways we devised to allow people to cross the route at safe times. "The pre-promotion that we did, whilst it may not have reached absolutely everybody, we're pretty sure the people of Northern Ireland were aware of the event in advance and made alternative arrangements." Mr McQuaid said he was surprised by the level of public support for the event. "I've been hearing from the route about people having prosecco parties in their gardens and festooning their trees in pink balloons," he said. "We have 4,000 riders this year compared to 3,200 last year, so that's an impressive growth. "We also have more riders from throughout the world - Australia, Malaysia, Canada, America and all over Europe." The race, which began at Belfast's Titanic quarter on Sunday morning, finished at the same location at about 16:00 BST. Lawro's opponents for this week's five rearranged Premier League fixtures are world champion boxer Carl Frampton and Nobby Butcher, aka comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. The pair made predictions for Premier League games that were postponed because of FA Cup ties or the Capital One Cup final. They can boost their scores and standings on the guest leaderboard, with Frampton needing 40 points from his three matches to move top of the table. A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points. Before Monday's game between Stoke and Tottenham, Lawro has got three correct results and no perfect scores from this weekend's matches, to give him a total so far of 30 points. He trails actors Idris Elba and Richard Madden, who have got five results correct so far, with no perfect scores, and currently have 50 points.

This table will be updated after Stoke v Tottenham All kick-offs 19:45 BST unless otherwise stated Lawro's prediction: 0-2 Nobby's prediction: 0-2 Match report I was very impressed by West Ham when I watched them draw against Leicester at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. The Hammers really should have won the game - if you are going to award penalties like the one Leicester got in the last minute, then there are going to be 10 a game. Media playback is not supported on this device West Ham don't stop coming at you, they are very physical and strong, and they have got different ways of scoring. Watford ended their six-game winless run in the league by beating West Brom on Saturday, although they were a little bit fortunate with the Baggies missing two penalties. With the Hornets playing Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend, their manager Quique Sanchez Flores is going to change his team around. Because of that, I am backing West Ham. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Frampton's prediction: 2-0 Match preview After that memorable comeback win over Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League, Liverpool made a load of changes for Sunday's win over Bournemouth and still looked pretty comfortable. I am backing them to win on Wednesday too. Media playback is not supported on this device The whole situation at Everton is very strange and it feels like they have lost their way a little bit. I don't understand how they have got themselves in such a mess with the players they have got. I also don't know why Toffees manager Roberto Martinez did not field a stronger side for Saturday's draw with Southampton. It was a home game where he knows some of the punters are against him because of his poor record there this season, and one he badly needed to win. If he had left a few out for this game, people would understand it was because Everton have got a massive FA Cup semi-final coming up against Manchester United on Saturday. That game could be pivotal for Martinez and you know what will happen now, don't you? One of his key players will play in this game and pick up an injury that means they will miss out on Wembley. Lawro's prediction: 2-1 Nobby's prediction: 2-1 Match preview Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has already come out and said he will change his team around before Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Watford. That helps Manchester United, who have their own semi-final to look forward to, but nothing is straightforward for Louis van Gaal's side at the moment. Yes they beat Aston Villa at the weekend, but again United struggled to create good chances and they are finding it hard to kill games off. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Frampton's prediction: 2-2 Match preview Arsenal are another team struggling to score a second goal to finish teams off at the moment - we saw that again in their draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday. West Brom were unfortunate to lose at home to Watford at the weekend - but when they are on the road they struggle to cause much of a goal threat. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Frampton's prediction: 3-0 Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. *Does not include score for postponed games Lawro's best score: 160 points (week 19 v Guy Mowbray) Lawro's worst score: 20 points (week one v Graeme Swann & week 23 v Ice Cube and Kevin Hart) The launch of the new bus, which will run between Victoria Station in central London and Hackney in the east, wasdelayed for a weekby paperwork. TfL said a software glitch meant the bus had to be run with its distinctive rear platform shut, calling it "teething problems". The mayor called the bus "stunning" and "tailored to the London passenger". Following the new driver-and-conductor vehicle was a "protest" bus covered in slogans attacking the rise in public transport fares in London. Mayor Boris Johnson has been criticised by the Labour, the Lib Dems and Green Party over the cost of the buses. Mr Johnson announced plans for the new buses, which run on a hybrid diesel-electric motor, in his 2008 election manifesto. In total, eight buses with an open "hop-on, hop-off" platform at the rear, costing £11.37m, will run on route 38. They will be staffed with conductors and will not run at night or during the weekends. The last of the popular, open-platform Routemasters was withdrawn from regular service in December 2005, although some still run on tourist routes. Mike Weston, of TfL, saidhe thought the new buses would become "a much-treasured sight on the streets of London". But in an open letter to the mayor, Labour MP for Tottenham David Lammy said each new bus costs £1.4m compared with the conventional double-decker bus which costs about £190,000. "Riding this bus is surely the most expensive bus ticket in history," he said. "With 62 seats at a cost of £1.4m, the cost per seat is £22,580. At £22,695, you can buy a brand new 3 series BMW." The Green Party said its London mayoral candidate Jenny Jones had questioned "how the mayor will deal with the problem of fare evasion and also, whether expenditure on the new bus is the best environmental choice". "Jenny is concerned that London bus operators will refuse to buy these new buses for London, as their costs will be considerably higher if they are unable to re-sell them second hand to either UK operators or foreign operators," a Green Party spokesman said. Caroline Pidgeon, leader of the Lib Dems on the London Assembly, said: "What Boris Johnson has managed to achieve is to hike up the cost of a single bus fare by 50% and ensure that buses on routes across London are far more crowded. "A single new bus which has cost Londoners' a fortune will not cover up Boris Johnson's real record on bus services." But Mr Johnson defended the new bus, saying: "When ordered in greater numbers it will make a significant economic contribution to the manufacturing industries, while also helping deliver a cleaner, greener and more pleasant city." "It's not just a pretty face," he added. "The green innards of this red bus mean that it is twice as fuel efficient as a diesel bus and the most environment-friendly of its kind." TfL's surface transport director Leon Daniels said: "This vehicle really has set a new standard. "It utilises the latest cutting edge engine technology to deliver phenomenal fuel economy and emission performance." The Daily Mail reported Cellino will be banned for 18 months and fined £250,000 for breaching football agent rules. Cellino, 60, and the club have already been charged over the sale of Ross McCormack to Fulham in August 2014. If the Italian is banned, it will be the third time since he took over the Championship club in April 2014. The newspaper report also stated that the club will be fined a further £250,000, in addition to the punishment imposed on Cellino. "I am surprised to read the news regarding the FA's intentions to ban and fine me, as well as fine the club," Cellino said in a statement on the club's website. "I am not guilty and I will take the right steps to defend myself through the tribunal. "I feel that I am guilty of one thing - protecting Leeds United since I took charge of the club." Rudd believes the World Anti-Doping Agency or International Olympic Committee must impose bans. "That way we're more likely to have a credible, transparent and fair results," he told BBC Sport. "At the moment we get different results for different athletes from different countries for different sports." Rudd, who is also head coach of the Plymouth Leander club, led the English team at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, where Proud won gold in the 50m freestyle and 50m butterfly events. He has coached Lithuanian breaststroker Meilutyte, 19, since 2010, helping her become Olympic, World and European 100m breaststroke champion, as well as breaking the world record at both 50m and 100m. One of Meilutyte's main rivals - Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova - has had her provisional ban for testing positive for meldonium lifted. "WADA are there with it, they know what they want to do, but they're under-resourced," Rudd continued. "The IOC want to get it right - it's the governing bodies of each of the individual sports that we need to stand behind. "Sometimes they're compromised financially, with certain countries that are maybe helping to resource their sport that then pressurise them into making decisions that are maybe not what the WADA code tells us should be the decision. "That's why we see different results for different countries. We get a particular drug taken by a particular athlete in a particular way, and this athlete in country X gets a four-year ban and this athlete in country Y, doing exactly the same thing, gets a tap on the wrist. "That's the thing that's not right. We either have a zero-tolerance policy or we don't, and if we don't, then we need to stop saying we've got a zero-tolerance policy."

He used it on 22 December 1985 at Scoveston Park, first killing Miss Thomas, aged 56, and then Mr Thomas, 58. The prosecution said it was likely Miss Thomas was shot as Cooper was disturbed while breaking in. It is possible she recognised him or his voice as he lived and worked as a farm labourer nearby and was known to her and her brother. Mr Thomas was not there at the time but when he returned he was also shot before Cooper set fire to their three-storey house to cover his tracks. Four years later he confronted holidaymakers Peter and Gwenda Dixon, aged 51 and 52 and from Oxfordshire, on the Pembrokeshire coastal path near Little Haven. Before shooting the couple at point blank range he had tied them up and demanded their bank card, forcing them to disclose the pin number. He then used that to withdraw money at cash machines in the county and on the day their bodies were discovered in undergrowth he sold Mr Dixon's wedding ring to a jeweller for £25. The jury was shown a clip of Cooper appearing on the ITV darts-themed gameshow Bullseye recorded two months before the Dixons were killed. The prosecution said his appearance at the time matched an artist's impression of a man seen outside a bank when the card was used to withdraw money. The jury heard that Cooper, who was born in September 1944, left school at 15 and worked in various trades. He married his late wife Patricia in 1966 and the couple had two children - a boy and a girl. While working as a welder's mate at the old Gulf oil refinery at Milford Haven in 1978 he won £90,000 and a new car on a spot the ball competition and shortly after quit work to set up and run a family smallholding. But, through a series of loss-making house moves and a gambling habit, the prosecution case was Cooper frittered the money away. Certainly by 1983 police said he had started his career in burglary that eventually led to 30 convictions, although he was linked with many more. Cooper was a fisherman who enjoyed the outdoors, and the prosecution said his knowledge of the fields and paths around Milford Haven gave him free rein to target houses in the area. Cooper's son told the court his father was fascinated by survival programmes on television and even kept a copy of the SAS handbook. He would stash coins, jewellery, silverware and photograph frames under lock and key wherever the family was living at the time. It was put to Cooper during his trial he would regularly have bonfires in his back garden on which he would burn jewellery as means of identifying any valuable stones and metal he had stolen. The attempted robberies of five teenagers he cornered in a field near the Mount Estate in Milford Haven in March 2006 occurred at a time he was targeting homes in that area. One of the teenagers was raped at knife point during the terrifying ordeal and another sexually assaulted. It was an armed robbery two years later at a house in the village of Sardis that eventually led to his capture. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison when convicted by a jury in 1998 of 30 counts of burglary and the robbery. While he was still behind bars for those crimes Dyfed-Powys Police started a cold case review of the double murders of the 1980s. Advances in forensic techniques meant they were able to link items used in the Sardis robbery with the killing of the Dixons. These included the double-barrelled shotgun used by Cooper, which was found to have a trace of Mr Dixon's blood under the paintwork Cooper had since added. Shorts found in his bedroom at the time of his arrest in 1998 were also found to have Mr Dixon's DNA on them, along with that of his daughter Julie. Among the many items Cooper had squirreled away in the hedgerows near his house at 34 St Mary's Park, Jordanston, where he lived for much of the 1980s and 90s, was a sock that belonged to Mr Thomas. On 13 May 2009, just a few months after he was released from prison for the burglaries and robbery, Cooper was back in custody for the killing of the Thomases, the Dixons and the attack on the teenagers at the Mount Estate. As he was led into Haverfordwest magistrates court two days later he shouted at waiting photographers and television crews: "You must judge me after the trial and not before." The jury has done just that and Cooper is now likely to be remembered as one of the most notorious killers in modern Welsh history. Special Report: The Technology of Business Tapping into the IT cloud crowd 2014: The year of encryption Stress test: Are you fit for work? 2013: The year we all went 'mobile' The technology aiming to help refugees But it's unclear if the virtual currency is just a passing fad, or whether it may evolve into a valuable tool for doing business. Today Bitcoin is accepted by a small number of retailers, and David Woo, head of global rates and currencies research at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research, believes that most do so simply for the publicity it earns them. "Companies like Victoria's Secret are probably using it to brand themselves as hip," he says. The other main reason for businesses to use Bitcoin is that it is a low-cost way to accept payments, he adds. "Vendors get charged 2% to 3% by credit card companies, but the cost of using Bitcoin is zero," says Mr Woo. Bitcoin can also be used as a cost-free way to send money around the world. But there's a big problem with using Bitcoin for business purposes at the moment. "The overriding reason not to accept it is because of volatility," says Mr Woo. "This is the biggest challenge for Bitcoin." That's because while speculators welcome volatility - big price movements provide opportunities to make money - businesses generally don't like such risks. Huge swings in the value of Bitcoin mean profits on goods or services supplied can be wiped out when it depreciates; prices listed in Bitcoins have to be monitored and adjusted frequently. The conventional way for businesses to manage currency risks is by using derivative instruments such as futures and options, but even if these were readily available for virtual currencies they would not be practical at the moment, Mr Woo explains. Bitcoin: Price v hype "As a US exporter to the UK, I could buy sterling 'put' options against the dollar," he says. These would give the option to exchange sterling into dollars in the future at a set rate, regardless of the actual exchange rate on the day, mitigating the currency risk of accepting payments in sterling. "The problem is that the price of these 'puts' is a function of the currency's volatility, so with Bitcoin they would be very expensive." But in order for Bitcoin's volatility to diminish, Mr Woo believes the virtual currency needs to become far more liquid, and for that to happen, more people need to buy and use the currency. And although Bitcoins can be divided into tiny subunits, the supply is ultimately finite. "That means if more people start adopting them then prices have to go up, and that creates more volatility," he says. Another problem with using Bitcoin for business is that trading it is far from easy. Its value varies significantly in different countries - Marc Warne, director of London-based Bitcoin exchange Bittylicious, says this can often be as much as 10%. In an efficient global market these price differentials could be exploited by some investors. But Mr Warne says the cost of sending money to overseas markets and the time it takes, coupled with trading fees, makes the overall market inefficient and means these international price differences persist. "In a way this proves the value of Bitcoin, because unlike bank transfers, transferring them is free and almost instant," he adds. One thing that may have to happen before Bitcoin is more widely used by businesses in Europe is clarification of its legal status and some sort of regulation. A key question that needs to be answered is whether it has the legal status of a currency, according to Angus McFadyen, a technology and payments law expert at Pinsent Masons. "Some people say it is an investment, and others say it is a currency. If it is a currency then it should be treated as such by the Payment Services Directive. This provides the basis of refund rights for unauthorised transactions." Mr McFadyen adds that this European Commission directive currently deals with the currencies of EU member states, which clearly does not include Bitcoin. But the directive is currently under review, and new proposals talk about "any currency", he says. "So it could be designed to include virtual currencies, but as yet there is no official news about whether it will." Bitcoin's uncertain status as a currency will also need to be clarified before more British exchanges, like Bittylicious and competitor BitBargain, appear and improve market liquidity. That's because of the tax implications of trading in Bitcoin: if it's classified as a currency then no VAT is due on the value of Bitcoins sold, only on the trading commission, according to Eitan Jankelewitz, a digital media lawyer at Sheridans. He would like to see the UK's tax authority following the lead of Singapore by offering specific tax guidance for Bitcoin businesses. But he doesn't expect HMRC to accept it should be treated as a currency in the foreseeable future. "That would be a big deal, but you need to be realistic and expect some sort of halfway measure." If Bitcoin does mature into a regulated, liquid, relatively stable currency, could it be used as more than a cheap way of making payments and moving money around the world? Michael Jackson, formerly chief operating officer of Skype and now a partner at venture capital firm Mangrove Capital Partners, believes so. "It can certainly be used to make payments on the internet without having to set up an account. But it could also be used to fight piracy," he says. "For example, when you buy a digital book it could be encrypted using the Bitcoin used to buy it as the key to unlock it." Ultimately Mr Jackson believes that Bitcoin could provide the foundation for many money-making ventures. "The internet is just a set of protocols, but it has resulted in the creation of many new businesses. "In the same way I think that Bitcoin will prompt the creation of many new companies that create value on top of it." A report for Invest NI has warned lack of 'Grade A' accommodation in the city could hinder attempts to attract overseas jobs. Office development has slowed there since the 2008 property market crash. Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said Invest NI would explore whether it can advance loans. This would be as "a short-term intervention". She said that this was likely to be mezzanine or equity finance made on commercial terms. Invest NI will seek expressions of interest from developers from 1 May to 31 August. Ms Foster said: "The availability of suitable office accommodation is an important part of Northern Ireland's investment proposition. "The report has shown that demand for Grade A office accommodation has remained relatively steady over the past three years but, with limited new development taking place, the supply has fallen. "The lack of development may be due to constraints on bank lending to fund Grade A office space developments." The report, produced by consultants RSM McClure Watters, said "very few" developers have the capital required to build major projects. Low rental returns have also had an impact on the viability of schemes and their ability to attract bank funding. The report said there is "clear justification for the consideration of public sector intervention... by reducing the financial risk of development". Any intervention would be short-term and loans, probably only for up to a third of the costs, and would be repaid with interest. The money would come from a funding pot known as Financial Transactions Capital (FTC), outside Invest NI's budget and the block grant. But developers would still require other capital, either from banks or their own cash. Around 250,000 sq ft of Grade A space is said to be currently available. But agents forecast demand of 1.1m sq ft over the next three years. This pressure could be added to if a reduction in corporation tax creates the jobs bonanza that the Northern Ireland Executive hopes for. Any Invest NI loans would also be available for Grade A schemes outside Belfast. The "important and beautiful" painting by artist Jacob Jordaens - a pupil of Peter Paul Rubens - was previously unknown to art historians. The auction record for a work by Jordaens is £3.6m ($4.7m). A local restorer had repainted the piece to give the horses pink manes and change the colour of the sky. The painting was identified by art historian Bendor Grosvenor, for the new BBC Four series, Britain's Lost Masterpieces. The piece is a rare preparatory oil study for one of Jordaens' best known works, Atalanta & Meleager, which hangs in the Prado Museum in Madrid. Ben van Beneden, director of the Rubenshuis Museum in Antwerp, said: "It's a great find. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that we're looking at a quintessential painting by Jordaens." A vital clue came with the discovery of a series of merchant's marks on the back of the painting. These - a combination of the letter A and the coat of arms of the city of Antwerp, Jordaens' home town, proved the panel must have been made between 1619 and 1621. Dr Grosvenor said: "At first glance, this painting looked to be a non-starter. But despite all the over-paint, there were glimpses of a great painting fighting to come out. "We were able to reveal a picture that was not only important and beautiful, but one which helps us to re-write the story of one of my favourite artists, Jacob Jordaens." The painting is thought to have belonged to Swansea Museum for nearly 150 years and had been catalogued as a work by an unknown 18th Century artist. It is currently in London but will go on display in Swansea from Thursday. Number eight Pocock (calf) and full-back Folau (ankle) missed last week's quarter-final win over Scotland but were declared fit to play after a full-contact training session on Friday. Prop Scott Sio (elbow) will be replaced by James Slipper. Loose forward Ben McCalman and utility back Kurtley Beale return to the bench. Vice-captain Michael Hooper will make his 50th Test appearance. The Wallabies were due to name the side on Friday morning for the Twickenham game but delayed the announcement for several hours so they could conduct a full-contact training session. Slipper will play his 73rd Test, making him the most-capped prop to play for Australia. The 15 players have 876 Test appearances between them. "James has been pushing for a starting spot with his performances as a finisher and I know he'll take it with both hands," Australia head coach Michael Cheika said. "James is a leader in our squad and has performed well through this tournament so far and in the lead-up matches." Drew Mitchell retains his place on the wing, needing just one more try to draw level with Bryan Habana and Jonah Lomu as the all-time Rugby World Cup leading try scorer. The Wallabies are seeking to reach their first World Cup final since 2003. Australia head coach Michael Cheika said: "This weekend is a great opportunity for the lads to improve on last week and take advantage of the chance to play on such a big stage. "This weekend we want to make Australia proud of their team." Australia: Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Tevita Kuridrani, Matt Giteau, Drew Mitchell, Bernard Foley, Will Genia; James Slipper, Stephen Moore (captain), Sekope Kepu, Kane Douglas, Rob Simmons, Scott Fardy, Michael Hooper, David Pocock. Replacements: Tatafu Polota-Nau, Toby Smith, Greg Holmes, Dean Mumm, Ben McCalman, Nick Phipps, Matt Toomua, Kurtley Beale. The 40-year-old batsman set a record last year for the most Test wins by a Pakistan skipper. "Test cricket remains the ultimate test for me and we have tough series coming against England and India," he said. Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi will quit ODIs after the World Cup to concentrate on T20 cricket. Misbah, who made his ODI debut in 2002, has scored 4,669 runs at an average of 42.83 in 153 ODIs, and captained Pakistan in 78 games. He has played 29 Twenty20 internationals, the most recent of which was 2012. "I took the decision to retire after much thought and feel this is the best time to go from ODIs," Misbah said. "The World Cup is my last ODI venture." Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan said: "He has been a big source of inspiration for the Pakistan team since the spot-fixing scandal and it is his personal decision to retire from ODIs after the World Cup." The World Cup in Australia and New Zealand starts on 14 February, with Pakistan's opening Pool B game against India in Adelaide the following day. Pakistan host England in a three-Test series in late 2015, followed by two Tests against India. Pakistan's Test victory over New Zealand in Abu Dhabi in November was Misbah's 15th as skipper, putting him ahead of Javed Miandad and Imran Khan. The 22-year-old, who was linked with a move away from Bolton in January, was out of contract and had been offered new terms by manager Dougie Freedman. But the Serie A outfit confirmed that Alonso has signed a three-year deal. Alonso, who joined Wanderers from Spanish giants Real Madrid in 2010, scored four goals in 30 appearances during the 2012-13 campaign. Freedman has already added a left-back to his squad ahead of next season with when his contract at Norwich expires later this summer. Aleksander Ceferin, president of European football's governing body Uefa, says a "luxury tax" on rich clubs and squad limits could also help to stop elite clubs dominating the game. He said the "excessive concentration of talent with a few teams" had to change. "Uefa has a duty to protect the whole of football and not just the elite," Ceferin told a conference in Lisbon. The Slovenian lawyer, who was elected to the role last September, told a conference in Lisbon that Uefa needed to address a "decrease in competitive balance" within European club football. "We need to assess whether the transfer market is the best we can do," he said. "We cannot be afraid to touch it. We do have to examine new mechanisms like luxury taxes and in particular sporting criteria like squad limitations and fair transfer rules, to avoid player hoarding." He did not give any further details on what he meant by luxury taxes or fair transfer rules, but added that Uefa could work with global governing body Fifa to make changes to the transfer market - or do so via its own licensing regulations. Some of Europe's smaller leagues have complained about big teams signing up their best players at a young age, only to immediately send them on loan elsewhere. In the Premier League, Chelsea had more than 30 players out on loan earlier this season, while in Italy champions Juventus have more than 50 players loaned out. Ceferin also said Uefa would set up a new division entitled "Protection of the Game" to tackle doping, corruption, violence and match-fixing. Bill Conner heard the heartbeat after cycling hundreds of miles from his home in Wisconsin to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He shed tears while using a stethoscope to hear the heart of his organ donor daughter beating inside Loumonth Jack's chest. He received it after her death. Mr Jack was told he had just days to live after suffering a heart attack. "Knowing he's alive because of [my daughter] Abbey, Abbey is alive inside of him - it's her heart having him stand up straight," Mr Conner told CBS News. "I was happy for him and his family, and at the same time, I got to reunite with my daughter." Abbey and her brother were found unconscious in a swimming pool in January while on holiday in the Mexican resort of Cancun. She was flown to Fort Lauderdale in Florida, where medics kept her on life support until doctors could use her organs for transplants. Her brother survived. Mr Conner said that Abbey made the decision to be an organ donor when aged only 16. "She registered. It's something that she knew a long time ago. Unfortunately, it came to fruition, but that's Abbey," he said. "If you had her as a friend she always had your back, and for her to be helping people in need - that fits who she is." Mr Conner decided to embark on his bike ride of more than 4,000km (2,600 miles) to raise awareness about organ donations and to visit the Broward Health Medical Center in Florida which was holding his daughter's body. But in the course of his journey he became aware of the chance to meet Mr Jack on father's day when he was about 2,250km (1,400 miles) into his trip. My son died in 1994 but his heart only stopped beating this year US teacher 'really proud' to save pupil's life Face transplant recipient overwhelmed by result Why don't more African Americans become organ donors? The clinic looking after Abbey's body had sent letters to the four recipients of four of her organs asking them to meet him. The four included Mr Jack, whose health had been rapidly deteriorating before receiving her heart. "She saved me and I can't repay her. I wish I could but I can't," Mr Jack told WAFB in Baton Rouge. "All I can do is send my love to her family." Witnesses have described the meeting of the pair as heartbreakingly poignant. "It was unbelievable," Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency spokeswoman Mary Klemenok told the BBC. "Abbey's willingness to donate her organs after passing away gave someone else a second chance at life. "Bill was able to hear his daughter's heartbeat and record it so he can carry it with him for the rest of his life, which is absolutely beautiful." Ministers want to appoint a named person, usually a teacher or health visitor, to be responsible for ensuring the welfare of every child. The plans were held up when the Supreme Court ruled that information sharing sections did not comply with the law. Changes to legislation are being considered, but the Faculty of Advocates say they need improvement. They want to see guidance for named persons "phrased in more accessible language" and a helpline provided for them, raising concerns that the plans as they are currently drafted might not resolve the concerns raised in the Supreme Court. Other groups, including City of Edinburgh Council and NHS Highland, have also raised questions about the legislative changes. The Scottish government said it was confident the changes would address the issues raised by the Supreme Court. The named person plans were signed off by MSPs as part of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 - passed by 103 votes to nil - but were quickly tied up in legal challenges by campaigners who feared the scheme would cause unnecessary intrusion into family life. Judges at the UK's highest court ruled against the scheme in July 2016, citing concerns that information-sharing plans were incompatible with the rights to privacy and a family life under the European Convention on Human Rights. The did however say that the aim of the scheme was legitimate, and the ministers said they remained "absolutely committed" to implementing it. The government brought forward the Children and Young People (Information Sharing) (Scotland) Bill in a bid to make the necessary changes, and Holyrood's education committee is examining the new legislation. The submission from the Faculty of Advocates forms part of this process. In their written remarks, the Faculty said the principal issues raised about the legislation were not easy to resolve, and said that "some of the criticisms of the Supreme Court will continue to apply if the bill as drafted is passed". They said that named persons - non-lawyers, who would not be familiar with complicated legal guidance - would be required to "carry out a proportionality exercise" as part of the role, while balancing their other work. They described this as "an exceptionally difficult requirement" which "risks making their job considerably more difficult and undermining the trust of families and the willingness to share information with the professional concerned". The submission said: "In our view, the Code of Practice itself would benefit from being phrased in more accessible language. Given the complex exercise being expected of those professionals, they should also, in our view, have access to an advice service or helpline to provide assistance when they are uncertain how to deal with information sharing." Similar concerns were raised by City of Edinburgh Council in its submission, which said guidance would need "further clarification for day to day practice". However East Ayrshire Council said their response was "wholly positive". NHS Highland meanwhile raised questions about the difficulty of assessing whether young children were capable of making their own decisions over information sharing. Opposition parties backed the lawyers' submission, with the Scottish Conservatives saying the Faculty were "correct" in their criticisms. Education spokeswoman Liz Smith said: "The new bill does not fully address the concerns raised by the Supreme Court. The Scottish government should finally do the honourable thing and abandon this unwanted and expensive policy." Scottish Labour's education spokesman Iain Gray said his party still backed the principles of the scheme, but said the SNP had "botched the legislation and lost the confidence of the public and professionals". He added: "The Faculty is telling ministers that their attempt to correct the legislation is heading for the buffers too. SNP ministers had better listen, and get this sorted now. "In particular the Faculty is right to say these amendments must be made in law, not guidance, and thereby subject to full parliamentary scrutiny." A spokesman for No To Named Persons, the campaign group which took the Scottish government to the Supreme Court, said ministers would be "better off scrapping the scheme altogether". Announcing the planned changes in June, Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the court had "ruled definitively that the intention of providing a named person for every child to promote and safeguard their wellbeing was unquestionably legitimate and benign". He said young people and families must have "confidence that their information will be shared only where their rights can be respected", saying the bill would achieve this. A Scottish government spokesman said: "We are confident that the Children and Young People (Information Sharing) (Scotland) Bill fully addresses the issues raised by the UK Supreme Court. "It will bring consistency, clarity and coherence to the sharing of information about children's and young people's wellbeing across Scotland. "The bill will be subject to scrutiny and approval by the Scottish Parliament and we will continue to listen to views of stakeholders and the parliament through this process." Stephen Heffernan was captured on CCTV aiming the carbon dioxide air pistol at his victim in Brick Lane, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, in March. The 44-year-old, from Bradford on Avon, admitted possessing a weapon with intent to cause fear of violence and was sentenced at Swindon Crown Court. The woman was unharmed and they walked away together after the incident. Heffernan had been carrying the gun in his pocket before whipping it out to point at his victim. Det Con Andy Henson, from Wiltshire Police, said: "I want to reassure the community that behaviour like this is never tolerated and we will do all we can to catch anyone who acts like this in public." Norman McKenzie of Drumgose Road was sentenced in March after he admitted the manslaughter of Petyo Hristanov, 57. He was also fined £3,000. On Thursday, the Court of Appeal ruled that sentence was unduly lenient. Mr Hristanov fell from a partially-constructed farm shed in Portadown in January 2015. The court heard that Mr Hristanov, who was originally from Bulgaria, and workmate Millen Dimov, were given no safety precautions to protect themselves while on the roof, such as scaffolding, a safety net, an elevated platform or harnesses. It was also told that McKenzie did not carry out a risk assessment or briefing. The situation was made more dangerous by the rainy conditions at the time. Mr Hristanov began to slide feet first from the roof and screamed for help. Mr Dimov grabbed his arm but could not stop him and both men fell to the ground. Mr Dimov suffered minor injuries. The Court of Appeal found that the risk of death or serious injury was foreseeable for men working from a height of five meters without protection, particularly in the weather conditions prevailing that day. There was a total absence of safety assessment or precautions and Mr McKenzie fell "wantonly short" of the standard to be expected from employers of workmen, the court found. It also believed that this was not a one-off occurrence: It said the "complete lack of insight" shown by McKenzie during his interviews meant such breaches were likely to have been common in his employment. The court also said that McKenzie did not accept responsibility for some time and had made "unjustified attempts" to blame Mr Hristanov for failure to take precautions for his own safety. It said his plea of guilty was entered only at a very late stage and after the jury had been sworn in. McKenzie must serve 12 months in prison and 12 months on licence.

But on Thursday Ernest, Evelyn, Marion and Miss Ellen went out to the main enclosure. Keepers say the cubs follow their mum around at the moment but sometimes run off to play in grass or climb rocks. Abbott, who bowled the ball that led to the death of Phillip Hughes in 2014, took 5-16 as the hosts posted 152-9. The 24-year-old paceman's haul bettered Nathan Lyon's 5-23 in 2015. However, the Sixers were subsequently bowled out for 104 - England's Sam Billings top-scoring with 40. Abbott's figures are second on the Bash's all-time list, behind Sri Lankan Lasith Malinga's 6-7 for Melbourne Stars in 2012. Big Bash - Australia's Twenty20 franchise competition - is in its sixth year. Other English representatives include Stuart Broad, Chris Jordan, Eoin Morgan, Jason Roy and Kevin Pietersen. Eleven minutes of prolonged bidding from telephone buyers preceded the final sale - for much more than its pre-sale estimate of $140m. The final price of $179.3m (£115m) includes commission of just over 12%. The sale also featured Alberto Giacometti's life-size sculpture Pointing Man, which set its own record. It is now the most expensive sculpture sold at auction, after going for $141.3m (£90.6m). Both buyers chose to remain anonymous. The previous world record for a painting sold at auction was $142.4m, for British painter Francis Bacon's Three Studies of Lucian Freud in 2013. The Picasso oil painting is a vibrant, cubist depiction of nude courtesans, and is part of a 15-work series the Spanish artist created in 1954-55 designated with the letters A to O. "This is an absolutely blockbuster picture - it's one of the most exciting pictures that we've seen on the market for 10 years," said Philip Hoffman, founder and CEO of the Fine Art Fund Group. "Yes there are one or two [Picassos] that could even smash that record but it has a huge wall presence, it's a big show-off picture. "For anybody that wants to have a major Picasso, this is it - and $179m in 10 years' time will probably look inexpensive," said Hoffman. Make no mistake; this is a fine painting, by a great artist, produced at an important time in his career. He started the Women of Algiers series in 1954 shortly after the death of his friend and competitor, Henri Matisse, the master of what he called the Odalisque - exotic paintings of Turkish women in harems. Now in his 70s, Picasso felt he should pick up the Orientalist mantel from Matisse while also looking to bring together many of the influences that informed his own art. You can see an echo of his famous proto-Cubist work Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and the debt it owes to Cezanne and El Greco. There was his lifelong admiration for the French romantic painter Eugene Delacroix who painted the original Women of Algiers (1834), and - of course - his adoration of the female form. Added to this rich mix was the geo-politics of the time, which saw an uprising in the French colony of Algeria that would eventually lead to the country's independence. In Women of Algiers version O, Picasso has distilled all of these ingredients into one large-scale painting of great quality: a study not only of the Arabesque, but also a serious enquiry into the nature of colour, line and composition. Experts believe the investment value of art is behind the high prices. "I don't really see an end to it, unless interest rates drop sharply, which I don't see happening in the near future," said Manhattan dealer Richard Feigen. "There's a huge amount of demand," added Hoffman, founder and CEO of the Fine Art Fund Group. "The world's billionaires are in New York, the world's museum buyers are there. "I don't think we've ever seen a sale as important as this in Christie's and Sotheby's in my 25 years of working in the art world." It was first visible in the southern United States, before sweeping east across the Atlantic Ocean and the African continent. The US space agency, Nasa, said the greatest total eclipse occurred over the Atlantic Ocean. One of the best views was in northern Kenya, where tour companies organised trips to view a total blackout. Local myths there attribute the event to the Moon eating the Sun. Partial views were available in eastern North America and southern Europe. This solar eclipse was a rare occurrence in that it was "hybrid" - switching between an annular and total eclipse. In a total eclipse, the Moon completely covers the sun, while an annular eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its farthest from the Earth and does not block out the Sun completely, leaving a halo of sunlight still visible around the Moon. The eclipse event began about 1,000km (620 miles) east of Jacksonville, Florida with an annular eclipse visible for four seconds at sunrise. Nasa - Eye safety during solar eclipses As the Moon's shadow raced east the eclipse switched from annular to total along a narrow corridor. The greatest total eclipse occurred in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 330km south-west of Liberia, and lasted for more than one minute. The eclipse continued across Africa through the Congos until it passed through northern Uganda and northern Kenya, ending in southern Ethiopia and Somalia. Either side, a partial eclipse was seen within a much broader path including eastern North America, northern South America, southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Experts warned that no-one should attempt to view the Sun with the naked eye. A safe view of eclipses can be obtained by using special welder's glasses or a pinhole camera. Deutsche See, which leases 500 vehicles from VW, said it had been unable to reach an out-of-court settlement, Reuters news agency reported. VW is involved in numerous lawsuits from individual owners, regulators, states and dealers, many of them class-action cases in the US. Deutsche See is one of Germany's major fish and seafood producers. The business promotes itself as environmentally friendly, and in 2010 won an award for being Germany's "most sustainable company". "Deutsche See only went into partnership with VW because VW promised the most environmentally friendly, sustainable mobility concept," said a statement from the company. German media reported that Deutsche See filed its complaint for "malicious deception" at the regional court in Braunschweig, near Volkswagen's Wolfsburg headquarters. VW on Sunday declined to comment on the reports. Volkswagen admitted in September 2015 that it had used software to cheat diesel-emissions tests in the US. The company is now embroiled in investigations across the world, and will have to spend a huge amount of money to settle claims and put the engines right. The cost of settlements and fines in the US alone are approaching $20bn. A budget monitoring report revealed 95,000 tickets were issued in 2011/12 (excluding March), compared with 36,000 in 2010/11 and 26,753 in 09/10. In February about 7,000 motorists were issued with penalty charge notices compared to 3,100 in February 2011. The council said extended camera enforcement had resulted in more fines. Drivers illegally using bus lanes are sent a £60 penalty charge notice, reduced to £30 if paid promptly. Councillor Tony Page said: "It's not that more people are driving in bus lanes it's that we've extended the camera enforcement of our existing bus lanes." But Kenneth Guest, 47, who faced fines of £660 after receiving 11 tickets as a result of one camera in Southcote Lane, claims the sign is not clear. The father of one, from Reading, said: "It's clear you can't read the sign from six feet away. The font size of the template is less than one inch, but Tony Page said if you can't read the signs you shouldn't be driving." In response Mr Page replied: "The actual size of the signs and the lettering are all fully compliant. Bus lanes are there not to raise money, they are there to improve and assist the operation of a very good public transport service." Mr Cheyre was a young officer at the time of General Augusto Pinochet's coup. He was accused of complicity in the killing of left-wing activists in the northern city of La Serena. The operation was part of the notorious Caravan of Death. The Caravan of Death was a a military unit despatched by General Pinochet to remote Chilean areas to hunt down opposition activists. They travelled from town to town in a helicopter. Gen Pinochet said there would be no mercy for "extremists", and was reportedly annoyed by news that some commanders in provincial towns had been "soft" on political opponents. Mr Cheyre was army commander from 2002 to 2006, after Chile returned to democracy. During his time as army chief, Mr Cheyre said a coup and humans rights violations should "never again" happen in Chile. Eight other former officers have been accused of taking part in the operation in La Serena on 16 October 1973. Victims' relatives hailed the news and said it was never too late for justice. "All I want is for justice to be made and the facts to be clarified. I am not interested in vengeance," said Ernesto Lejderman, who was three when his parents were killed in one of the Caravan of Death operations. Former Defence Minister Jaime Ravinet said, however, that it was unfair to hold a young officer responsible for following orders. "Anyone who knows the military world knows that you will be taken to court or expelled from the military if you refuse to obey orders from your superior," Mr Ravinet told CNN Chile. "In 1973, during the Caravan of Death, he could have been shot dead [had he refused to follow orders]." The Caravan of Death landed in 16 towns in the north and south of Chile and killed 97 people between 30 September and 22 October 1973, according to figures compiled by the NGO Memory and Justice. Gen Pinochet seized power from the democratically-elected government of Salavador Allende on 11 September 1973. He stepped down in 1990 but retained the post of commander-in-chief of the army for another eight years. He died in 2006, aged 91, without ever standing trial for his actions. The 34-year-old Scotland international has been with Hull City since 2015 but is out of contract with the English Premier League club this summer. Maloney, who has 47 caps, has made only 13 appearances this season, eight of them from the bench. The Dons are looking for a replacement for Niall McGinn, who has so far refused to sign a new deal. Media playback is not supported on this device Derek McInnes' side lie second in the Scottish Premiership and face Celtic in the Scottish Cup final on 27 May. Maloney, whose current side are third bottom of the table and battling to avoid relegation, had two spells in the Scottish top flight with Celtic, interrupted by a year with Aston Villa. He left the Glasgow club a second time in 2011 to join Wigan Athletic and joined Hull after leaving Chicago Fire. Bingham, champion in 2015, was pegged back to 5-4 overnight as the 2002 winner took the final two frames of the opening session. But the world number three quickly extended his lead to 8-4 and closed out victory after Ebdon got back to 8-5. "It didn't feel like a 10-5 win," said Bingham. "I'm over the moon to get through - he's a great player and a great competitor. "My percentages weren't great and I will have to improve against Kyren Wilson in the next round."

World number four Ding scored three centuries, including a 136 - the tournament's highest break so far, to take control going into Tuesday afternoon's concluding session. Monday's afternoon session sees England's Shaun Murphy resume with a 6-3 lead against Yan Bingtao of China, while four-time champion John Higgins of Scotland begins against English qualifier Martin Gould. Hong Kong's Marco Fu, the world number eight, looks to overturn a 7-2 deficit against Belgian qualifier Luca Brecel when they play to a conclusion in the evening session. 11 September 2014 Last updated at 06:45 BST Jose Andre Montanho, who is blind, could play the drums by the age of four.

Back-to-back defeats by Molde have left Ronny Deila's team bottom of Group A going into Thursday's game against Ajax in Glasgow. "We have to have the belief that we can win and still go through in the group," said Australian midfielder Rogic, 22. "We go into every game thinking we are going to get a positive result, especially at home." After opening the group with draws away at Ajax and at home to Fenerbahce, Celtic's challenge has stalled with two losses to the Norwegians. But victory this week combined with a win in Turkey in the final round of group games would be enough to send Celtic into the last 32 of the competition. "It's a big opportunity," Rogic said of Thursday's meeting with the Dutch side. "Obviously we're disappointed about the last couple of results but we've been working hard to make sure we are best prepared as we can be to get the result we need. "We know the importance of the match. We're all in this together and are a united squad. "We work closely and extremely hard with the coaches and the manager, so we're working together to get the result we need." The Scottish champions' preparations for the match have been disrupted by injuries and suspensions. Nir Bitton and Stefan Johansen are both banned, while forward Kris Commons is an injury doubt. "They are important players for us so any team that loses key players could possibly feel it," added Rogic. "But, at the same time, we have a good squad and there is competition for places, so I'm sure whoever plays will be ready." Gwent Police was called to Cardiff Road at about 17:45 BST on Thursday. A 61-year-old man has been taken to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales with life-threatening injuries. A 43-year-old man is being held in custody. Insp Jason White said: "We are fully committed to establishing all the circumstances surrounding what happened this evening." On a rain-hit day, Abell (88 not out) and Davies (68 not out) led Somerset to 234-4 before wet weather arrived. Surrey took three wickets for three runs to leave them 46-3, as Tim Rouse and James Hildreth fell to Rikki Clarke (2-18) for ducks in successive balls. But after Gareth Batty bowled Edward Byrom (42), Abell and Davies hit back. Davies was the more attacking batsman facing 96 deliveries and hitting eight boundaries including a six, while captain Abell made his highest score of the season so far. Somerset and Surrey are both bidding for only their second wins of 2017 in County Championship Division One, but the visitors are 30 points above the seventh-placed hosts in the table, having drawn six of their eight matches.

Mr McDonnell told the Sunday Mirror Sir Richard wanted to "undermine" democracy, after a row over Jeremy Corbyn's journey on a Virgin train. Earlier this week, Sir Richard's Virgin Trains released footage disputing Mr Corbyn's claims about overcrowding on one of its services. Sir Richard has not responded. Speaking to the newspaper, Mr McDonnell said former BHS boss Sir Philip Green should also be stripped of his knighthood. It comes on the day that the last BHS stores close for the final time. Sir Philip has not commented on the remarks. Mr McDonnell said it was time to "take control" of the honours system, adding: "The whole purpose of the honours system is undermined when the rich and the powerful can collect their gongs without giving anything back. It's even worse when tax exiles are given honours." He continued: "And you should certainly have [honours] stripped from you if you subsequently have been found to be not acting in the spirit of our country." He singled out Sir Richard, calling him a "tax exile who thinks he can try and intervene and undermine our democracy". There is no suggestion the businessman, who lives on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, has done anything illegal. In 2013, Sir Richard said he was living on the island because of a love for the "beautiful" location - not for tax reasons. Responding to Mr McDonnell's comments, Labour MP John Woodcock, a prominent critic of leader Mr Corbyn, tweeted: "Dare to question Saint Jeremy's version of the truth? John McDonnell will strip you of your knighthood..." And speaking at a rally in Hull, Labour leadership contender Owen Smith said: "I think the suggestion John [McDonnell] is making is that Branson should lose his knighthood for telling the truth about seats on his trains. "I can't say that I think that's a reasonable suggestion." Earlier in August, footage emerged of Labour leader Mr Corbyn sitting on the floor of what he dubbed a "ram-packed" Virgin train. However, Sir Richard later tweeted to say Mr Corbyn had walked past empty seats, with Virgin Trains releasing CCTV of the incident. In response, Mr Corbyn's campaign team released footage of Mr Corbyn walking through a busy carriage and said: "When Jeremy boarded the train he was unable to find unreserved seats, so he sat with other passengers in the corridor who were also unable to find a seat. "Later in the journey, seats became available after a family were upgraded to first class, and Jeremy and the team he was travelling with were offered the seats by a very helpful member of staff."

British tycoon Sir Richard Branson is a "tax exile" and should be stripped of his knighthood, shadow chancellor John McDonnell has suggested.

I'm not going to trouble you with any more of my predictions for the actual result - there are plenty of people playing that game already. But is it already possible to consider how we will look back at this election once it is all said and done? The man who used to be charge of the Civil Service, Lord Gus O'Donnell, who was so instrumental in putting together the coalition in 2010 thinks it is, and that there are two very significant shifts that makes this election very significant, and potentially very messy. Interestingly, his observations apply, whoever ends up in Number 10. Talking to me for Newsnight, Lord O'Donnell was clear: the probable significant success of the SNP will "put extra tension" on the union between Scotland and the rest of the UK, and the union will be "subject to strains". Cabinet Secretary, the highest office in the Civil Service, from 2005 to 2011 under Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron. On stepping down the post was split into three separate positions. 1989-1990: Press Secretary for the Chancellor 1990-1994: Press Secretary to the Prime Minister 2002-2005: Permanent Secretary of the Treasury 2012: Created a life peer as Baron O'Donnell, of Clapham Also held director level positions at the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Government Economics Service The SNP of course say, time and time again, that this election is not about independence. This old Whitehall hand, however, believes their likely transition to the third biggest party at Westminster will put new pressure on the UK as an entity. But he also believes, as the share of the votes of the mainstream parties declines, and we move to a multi party system, the incoming government may face "legitimacy issues" because there will be "unparalleled divergence between votes cast and seats received". Lord O'Donnell, a cross bench peer said: "It looks likely the Conservatives will win England, the SNP will win in Scotland, and we will end up, quite possibly with Ed Miliband and Labour running the UK. "People will think at the end of this, are there better systems? On 8 May, is this relationship between votes and seats so out of kilter that we should think again about it?" Although the public overwhelmingly rejected a move to an alternative vote system, Lord O'Donnell suggests the voting system is not fit for purpose. The irony of course, is that over the course of the last Parliament, the public have been consulted on whether it was time to end the union, and whether the voting system need to change. In both cases, voters chose the status quo. But will the likely messy outcome of next week's ballot cause people to think again?

There are only seven days to go in this election.

Yik Yak, a social media platform, allows you to do just that because it's anonymous. In the first ever question and answer session to be held on Yik Yak, users of the app sent their questions about the EU referendum to the BBC. A member of the BBC's Reality Check team has been answering some of those questions on the site. Once a query has been asked, it doesn't stop users from adding to it or contributing their opinion. One user had an interesting question about the Prime Minister. The BBC experts response? "Maybe. I mean he really wants us to remain." Here's how BBC news responded to this question: "Both sides of the referendum campaign have been accused of making claims that are potentially misleading. BBC.co.uk/reality check has facts and accurate information to help people make up their minds." Compiled by Rozina Sini

What do you do when you have questions about the EU referendum but you are too scared to ask?

On average, a house in the North of England is worth nearly £163,000 less than one in the South. In the first quarter of 2016, prices in the South rose by 9.9% year-on-year, compared to just 1.8% in the North. Measured on a monthly basis, the average price of a home in the UK was £200,251. That is the first time on the Nationwide measure that the price has risen above £200,000. The building society also said that prices were picking up. In the year to March, house price inflation across the UK hit 5.7% - up from 4.8% in February and the fastest rate for more than a year. One reason for the increase may have been the rush by landlords to buy property ahead of Stamp Duty increases on 1 April, the Nationwide said. The Scottish equivalent - the Land and Building Transaction Tax (LBTT) - will also see a 3% surcharge. "The pace of house price growth may moderate again once the stamp duty changes take effect in April," said Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist. "However, it is possible that the recent pattern of strong employment growth, rising real earnings, low borrowing costs and constrained supply will keep the demand/supply balance tilted in favour of sellers, and maintain pressure on price growth in the quarters ahead." The Nationwide figures suggest prices are rising fastest in the London suburbs - as corroborated by the Land Registry earlier this week. They face Australia, Georgia, New Zealand and South Africa on consecutive Saturdays starting on 11 November and finishing on 2 December. In 2016 Rob Howley guided the team to wins over Argentina, Japan and South Africa after defeat by the Wallabies. Warren Gatland is due back in charge this autumn following the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand.

A crowd of 69,187 watched New Zealand beat them 43-10 in Cardiff during the 2015 World Cup. The All Blacks have not played Wales in Cardiff since November 2014, and are traditionally the biggest draw of the autumn series. The 33-30 win over Japan was the best attended of the 2016 autumn internationals in Cardiff, with games against Australia, Argentina and South Africa all failing to break through the 60,000 barrier - though the aggregate attendance of 235,042 matched the average for a four-match series this decade. However, the Welsh Rugby Union have announced price reductions for the visits of the Wallabies and Springboks, while tickets for the game against Georgia start at £20 with under-16s paying £10. 11 November: Australia (17:15 GMT) 18 November: Georgia (14:30 GMT) 25 November: New Zealand (17:15 GMT) 2 December: South Africa (14:30 GMT) He argued that people needed to be shaped by governments into nations - and was unapologetic about the steps he took to do this.

I have believed in merger and the unity of these two territories. You know, it's a people, connected by geography, economics, and ties of kinship. Would you mind if we stop for a while? [pause for Mr Lee to regain his composure] [Several paragraphs later] There is nothing to be worried about it. Many things will go on just as usual. But be firm, be calm. We are going to have a multi-racial nation in Singapore... Everybody will have his place: equal; language, culture, religion." Address to the General Assembly of the International Press Institute at Helsinki on 9 June 1971 "What role would men and governments in new countries like the mass media to play?... The mass media can help to present Singapore's problems simply and clearly and then explain how if they support certain programmes and policies these problems can be solved. More important, we want the mass media to reinforce, not to undermine, the cultural values and social attitudes being inculcated in our schools and universities. [Several paragraphs later] Freedom of the press, freedom of the news media, must be subordinated to the overriding needs of the integrity of Singapore, and to the primacy of purpose of an elected government." Speech to the National Day Rally in 1986, quoted in the Straits Times on 20 April 1987 "I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn't be here today. And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn't be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters - who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right." Interview with Foreign Policy, March/April 1994 "Let me be frank; if we did not have the good points of the West to guide us, we wouldn't have got out of our backwardness. We would have been a backward economy with a backward society. But we do not want all of the West." [Responding to a separate question] "Let me give you an example that encapsulates the whole difference between America and Singapore. America has a vicious drug problem. How does it solve it? It goes around the world helping other anti-narcotic agencies to try and stop the suppliers... Singapore does not have that option. What we can do is to pass a law which says that any customs officer or policeman who sees anybody in Singapore behaving suspiciously... can require that man to have his urine tested. If the sample is found to contain drugs, the man immediately goes for treatment. In America if you did that it would be an invasion of the individual's rights and you would be sued." On JB Jeyaretnam, a lawyer and opposition lawmaker who called for greater freedoms but was bankrupted by Mr Lee via the courts, in Lee Kuan Yew, The Man And His Ideas, 1997 "If you are a troublemaker… it's our job to politically destroy you. Put it this way. As long as JB Jeyaretnam stands for what he stands for - a thoroughly destructive force - we will knock him. Everybody knows that in my bag I have a hatchet, and a very sharp one. You take me on, I take my hatchet, we meet in the cul-de-sac." Interview with the New York Times, 29 August 2007 "We knew that if we were just like our neighbours, we would die. Because we've got nothing to offer against what they have to offer. So we had to produce something which is different and better than what they have. It's incorrupt. It's efficient. It's meritocratic. It works. We are pragmatists... Does it work? Let's try it and if it does work, fine, let's continue it. If it doesn't work, toss it out, try another one. We are not enamoured with any ideology." Interview with the New York Times on 13 Sept 2010 "The regret is there's such a narrow base to build this enormous edifice, so I've got to tell the next generation, please do not take for granted what's been built. If you forget that this is a small island which we are built upon and reach a 100 storeys-high tower block and may go up to 150 if you are wise. But if you believe that it's permanent, it will come tumbling down and you will never get a second chance." Interview with the New York Times on 13 Sept 2010 "The final verdict will not be in the obituaries. The final verdict will be when the PhD students dig out the archives, read my old papers, assess what my enemies have said, sift the evidence and seek the truth. I'm not saying that everything I did was right, but everything I did was for an honourable purpose." Interview with BBC reporter, June 2000 "If you can't think because you can't chew, try a banana." British singer Pete Doherty and the Senegalese star Youssou N'Dour are due to play in November, a statement said. A precise opening date is yet to be set but renovation work has begun, the management added. The Islamic State-claimed attacks across Paris on 13 November left 130 people dead. US rock band the Eagles of Death Metal, who were mid-performance when the militants burst in and began firing, have said they want to play at the venue again. Announcing the schedule for later this year, the Bataclan's management said: "We want to preserve the [Bataclan's] warmth and friendliness and maintain its popular, festive spirit." US rock group Nada Surf and the French rap group MZ have also been booked to play the venue in December, with further acts to be announced. The arrests were for offences including suspected drugs possession, affray and having lit flares inside Ipswich's Portman Road ground. Several people treated for the effects of the flares had now recovered, Suffolk Police said. The result of the Sky Bet Championship match was a 1-1 draw. More than 500,000 people have signed the parliamentary e-petition. In response, the government said it recognised the strength of feeling against Mr Trump's comments, which are expected to be debated by MPs. Ministers previously criticised his remarks but disagreed with banning him. Any petition with more than 10,000 signatures on the parliament website gets a government response, and if one gets more than 100,000 signatures it is automatically considered for debate in Parliament. The cross-party Commons petitions committee is due to meet next week to decide whether to hold a parliamentary debate on the petition to ban Mr Trump. Given the number of signatures, there is a presumption it will be debated. In its response, the government said it did not comment on individual immigration and exclusion decisions. "The home secretary may exclude a non-European Economic Area national from the UK if she considers their presence in the UK to be non-conducive to the public good," it said, adding that Theresa May had said coming to the UK was "a privilege and not a right". "Exclusion powers are very serious and are not used lightly" and would only be used "based on all available evidence", it said, adding: "The government recognises the strength of feeling against the remarks and will continue to speak out against comments which have the potential to divide our communities, regardless of who makes them. "We reject any attempts to create division and marginalisation amongst those we endeavour to protect." Prime Minister David Cameron has labelled Mr Trump's comments "stupid" but said he did not support a ban, telling MPs the tycoon would "unite us all against him" if he visited the UK. But Ms Davidson stressed that questions over trading markets, currency and borders were now "utterly different" and economic impacts could be enormous. The Scottish government has said the UK vote to leave the EU, not backed in Scotland, makes a referendum possible. The first minister has been lobbying for Scotland's place in Europe. Nicola Sturgeon held a series of meetings with senior EU officials last week. Ms Sturgeon has said she will explore all possible options - but has raised the prospect of a second independence referendum if it emerged as the only or best way to protect Scotland's place in the EU. Any proposal to hold a new referendum would then require consent from Westminster. Speaking to BBC Scotland's Sunday Politics Scotland programme, Ruth Davidson said talk of a second referendum was "destabilising" in the wake of the Brexit vote. The Conservative leader said "constitutionally" there would be no reason to block a vote, but talk of it was premature and her opposition remained. Ms Davidson said: "I would argue as strong as I could that we should stay part of our biggest market and closest friend. "Constitutionally the UK government shouldn't block it, no." But the Conservative leader said the issues raised by a second vote in light of the EU referendum had "utterly" changed. "Do you want to leave your biggest market or do you want to leave your second biggest market? "Do you want to change your currency? Do you want a hard border with your closest neighbour? It would be an utterly, utterly different one [referendum]. "But I'll tell you what will be different - and I've fought two referendum campaigns now where I've had all the Project Fear stuff thrown at me - nobody now will believe that you can have huge constitutional change without an enormous economic impact coming from that." A spokesman for the first minister described Ms Davidson's position on a referendum as a concession. He added: "Nevertheless our focus as a government is on the negotiations that lie ahead, to protect Scotland's relationship with the European Union and our place in the single market. "Scotland needs the stability and security of remaining in the world's biggest single market - for jobs, investment and prosperity. "As we have said a second independence referendum is an option which requires to be on the table and to ensure that option is a deliverable one in the required timetable steps are being taken now to ensure that the necessary legislation is in place." Meanwhile, former Labour first minister Henry McLeish has said he could back independence, but that Scotland is "not ready". Mr McLeish told Sunday Politics Scotland "I've said the European issue has strengthened, positively, the case of independence and that I could vote for independence. "I was devastated last week when we took that catastrophic decision to leave the EU, I think that was a tipping point." He added: "But let me also put a shot across the bows of the SNP - we are not ready for independence, even if that was a reality. "We have nation-building to do, we've got questions over the currency and fiscal deficit and what Brexit has shown us is that when you have a minority voting for one thing you create bitterness." A Scottish Labour spokesman said: "Kezia Dugdale has given her support to the First Minister to negotiate with the EU institutions in order to find a solution that respects the will of people in Scotland to remain inside the European Union. "However, Scottish Labour does not support a second independence referendum and it is clear that attempting to remove Scotland from a union with its biggest trading partner - the rest of the UK - and with no certainty over what currency we would be using would present a significant risk to Scottish jobs and to our economy." Bury St Edmunds councillor Paul Hopfensberger made the suggestion as nearly £20,000 is being spent erecting fences on two football pitches. Local teams playing at the grounds are forced to remove the mess before their matches. Mr Hopfensberger said of DNA testing: "I'm not saying we're going to do it, we have to look at it." Two pitches at Oakes Road and Tollgate Recreation Ground, which are in the councillor's ward, will be fenced in later this month to the tune of £19,855. He described the move as "democracy in action" but when asked later about DNA testing the dog mess, told the BBC: "At the moment we haven't got all the information on the DNA testing. "But we have asked a national company, they are successfully implementing it in other counties around the UK, so I think it's something we have to look at. "I'm not saying we're going to do it. We have to look at it, get the facts, get the details, to see if it will work in Suffolk." CFC Bury coach Mark Stiff said often they have to clear up before they kick off their games. "It's not all the dog owners, we have dog owners come up to us and chat to us while the game is going on, before and after, they're fantastic," he said. "But it's just got to a big problem now where its the irresponsible ones, I would love all soccer pitches to be fenced off, especially youth pitches." Money for the project came from the Premier League, the FA Facilities Fund, St Edmundsbury Borough Council and some individual councillors' locality grants. After winning the first Test by 169 runs, England were bowled out for 103 on Sunday to lose within four days. "It was pants down and backsides smacked," Australian Bayliss said. "We were outplayed in this game. "It's never a great start when they're 300-1 and we were always chasing the game from there." England lost a critical toss at Lord's on Thursday morning and Australia amassed 566-8 declared in their first innings before dismissing England for 312. On day four the tourists extended their second innings to 254-2 before declaring again to set England 509, and then routed the home side in just 37 overs as fast bowler Mitchell Johnson returned to form with 3-27. "I think results around the world, not just in England and Australia Test matches, there aren't too many close ones any more - one team wins pretty well," said Bayliss, who replaced the sacked Peter Moores in May to become England's first Australian coach. "I was very happy in our first batting innings - 4-30 is not a great start, but I thought we played well to finish up with over 300. I don't think we used the new ball terribly well on the first morning and we just let them get away. "We knew the Australians would come back hard in this match, and they will be full of confidence now they've got their A-game back. What we've got to do is go into the third game and worry about what we're doing, not what they're doing. "If you look at the two matches, our bowling down in Cardiff was very consistent. I don't think in this game we were quite as consistent with our lines and lengths, and that just allowed the Australian batters to get on top." The next Test in the five-match series starts at Edgbaston on 29 July and Bayliss would not be drawn on possible changes, despite his number three and four batsmen - Gary Ballance and Ian Bell - averaging 16 and 14 respectively in Tests this summer. "We've got a meeting on Tuesday, and I'm sure there's some things to be spoken about. I'm not going to say anything just yet. I'll wait until I get together with the other selectors on Tuesday to discuss that." Bayliss defended all-rounder Ben Stokes, who was run out by a direct hit in farcical fashion when evading a throw from the outfield and failing to ground any part of his equipment. "Ben Stokes is a good player now, and as time goes by I think he's going to have a great career for England. He's a guy that's got plenty of energy and he brings a lot to this team, not just with bat and ball but in the field as well." Roma, who had defender Antonio Rudiger sent off in stoppage time, fell behind to Keita Balde Diao's finish. Daniele de Rossi equalised with a controversial penalty after Wallace was wrongly adjudged to have fouled Kevin Strootman. Dusan Basta and Balde Diao struck in the second half to seal Lazio's win. Roma's misery was compounded when Rudiger was shown a straight red card for a high challenge on Lazio forward Filip Djordjevic in the closing stages. Second-placed Roma would have cut Juventus' lead to six points with a win but fourth-placed Lazio, who still have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League, were the dominant team throughout. Replays showed there was no contact when Strootman went down to win a penalty. Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus will secure the title if they win at home to mid-table Torino next Saturday (19:45 BST) and Roma fail to win away to AC Milan on Sunday, 7 May (19:45 BST).

But it makes very clear that it should always have been open to public scrutiny - perhaps then the mistakes that stopped a murder trial from taking place would never have been made. Securing a successful peace process is always difficult after years of conflict. In Northern Ireland, many people were upset when paramilitaries were released early from prison as a result of the Good Friday Agreement. But that was an open arrangement. Members of the then Labour government and Sinn Féin have insisted time and time again that they did not deliberately keep people in the dark about the OTR scheme. However, it would be hard to argue that the glare of publicity shone anywhere near it for many years. That has certainly changed. There is now a mess to clear up and the committee says that is the current government's responsibility. It wants cases reassessed, extra resources for police investigations and an assurance that the letters will have no future effect, even if that requires legislation. But amid the criticism the report also leaves questions hanging. Why wouldn't the Northern Ireland Secretary say which of the recipients of an OTR letter were effectively pardoned by being given a royal prerogative of mercy? The MPs say her silence was "wholly unacceptable". And perhaps most seriously of all, what "new evidence" would be needed to allow a trial to go ahead in the cases of suspects who were given assurances? Security force intelligence has after all now linked 95 people who received letters to up to 300 murders. The parliamentary committee says parts of the government and the criminal justice system have been "damaged" by the Downey case. Further damage needs to be avoided. Olympic champion Joshua, 26, faces Whyte for the vacant British heavyweight title at London's O2 Arena. "I don't want to go many rounds. If I can knock him out in the first round, beautiful," Joshua told BBC Sport. "I'll stand over him laughing, for talking all that rubbish about me." Whyte, weighing in at 17st 9lb, turned his back on Joshua (17st 7lb) while Spike O'Sullivan landed a kiss on Chris Eubank Junior as the top-of-the-bill fighters hit the scales. Joshua, whose Commonwealth belt is also at stake, has won all 14 of his professional fights inside three rounds, leading Whyte to suggest he has yet to face "a young, live opponent". But Joshua is already looking forward to a potential clash with Britain's former world heavyweight champion David Haye, who returns in the new year. "Some time, down the line, our paths will cross - whatever it's for. You've got two great athletes," he said. Londoner Whyte, who beat Joshua in the amateur ranks in 2009, has also called his Watford rival "a scumbag and a fake". But Joshua described their previous meeting and Whyte's attempts to goad him as "irrelevant". "He's trying to get me to take my eye off the ball and abandon my game plan," said Joshua. "But it's not going to affect me. "I have trained for a long fight. I am looking to box clever, pick my shots and break him down. "He's capable of taking me past three rounds, but that will be the achievement he takes from the fight - he'll be the man that took me past three rounds. "When I turned pro, [Britain's former heavyweight world champion] Lennox Lewis said to me, 'Forget what you did as an amateur, you are a pro now.' I take that attitude into this fight. "He [Whyte] has said that I have only fought old men. But I don't see any champions on his resume. "I hear the same thing every time, that I haven't boxed anyone yet. "When I beat a young and hungry guy like Dillian, the next opponent will have to come up with something else." Whyte, 27, is unbeaten in 16 pro fights, with 13 knockouts. He is trained by Johnathon Banks, who was in Wladimir Klitschko's corner when the Ukrainian lost his world heavyweight titles to Tyson Fury in November. Former British champion and world title contender Dereck Chisora is appearing on the undercard and could fight the winner of Joshua-Whyte next year. Nearly 200 countries have made a pact to attempt to limit the temperature on the earth from rising too quickly and too high. American President Barack Obama has said the landmark deal was "not perfect" but offers "the best chance we have" to save the planet. China's chief negotiator Xie Zhenhua also said the deal was not perfect. But he added that "this does not prevent us from marching historical steps forward". Important points The things they agreed on included: • To reduce the amount of harmful greenhouse gas produced and increase renewable types of energy like wind, solar and wave power • To keep global temperature increase "well below" 2C (3.6F) and to try to limit it to 1.5C • To review progress every five years • To spend $100 billion dollars a year in climate finance for poorer countries by 2020, with a commitment to further finance in the future.

The schools minister was taking part in a question an answer session at the ATL's annual conference in Liverpool. Mr Gibb said schools that had already become academies had flourished. But his comments failed to win over his audience. Under the plans almost 17,000 schools which have not already converted to academy status - mostly primaries - must do so by 2020 or have committed to do so by 2022. The plan has drawn criticism from teachers, unions and Tory local councillors. Asked to defend it, Mr Gibb said: "I'm spending time talking to colleagues who have expressed a concern. "But the whole academies programme is about having a profession-led system, so that the profession is in charge and not local authority officials. That's the system we're moving to. "If you talk to head teachers who become heads of academies, they have flourished." One audience member shouted "rubbish" while a handful of others jeered and some laughed at the minister's suggestions. At its conference over Easter, the National Union of Teachers voted to ballot for strike action over the academies plan. But, speaking at the NASUWT conference over Easter, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan ruled out a change of heart on the government's education reforms. Labour has said its own analysis of official figures suggests the plan could cost £1.3bn with a shortfall in funding over £1.1bn - a suggestion dismissed by the government as "completely untrue". Speaking in Liverpool, Mr Gibb said: "They're not right, they haven't taken into account money made available in the Spending Review. Labour, when they did their calculations, did not look at that." Asked how much this money was, Mr Gibb said it would be hundreds of millions of pounds. "We want there to be more autonomy in the schools academy system. People will make mistakes from time to time but we have a much more rigorous scrutiny over academies than maintained schools," he said. Mr Gibb was applauded as he left the hall. ATL general secretary Mary Bousted said he had been brave to come to conference - the problem was that his arguments did not tally with the experience of teachers in schools. Shadow Education Secretary Lucy Powell, who addressed the conference after Mr Gibb, said the government needed to rethink its forced academisation plan. Ms Powell advised schools to take their time to make plans to become academies or sign up with a multi academy trust. "What I would say is wait and see. The government faces a really big hurdle in getting this through the parliamentary process and past some of their backbenchers too. "Schools have got to find the right security and the right fit for them going forward." But she would not commit a future Labour government to reversing the programme. "I don't want to say now... that there is going to be another costly reorganisation of the school system." Speaking later, Ms Powell suggested she would attempt to form an alliance with Conservative backbenchers opposed to forced academisation in their constituencies. "I think my approach to these issues in Parliament is going to be about making and winning the argument rather than a sort of 'yah-boo' traditional political discourse, because I don't think that is going to enable us to develop that broader alliance. "I have been trying to make a very sensible, rational arguments about why I feel forced academisation is wrong and I think they are the same arguments I hear echoed by Conservatives in local government and in Parliament. "You look to build an alliance on the points you're trying to win on." The meeting comes days after officials announced the next general election would be held in late 2015. Ahead of the meeting, US President Barack Obama held telephone talks with both President Thein Sein and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. He urged Thein Sein to ensure the polls were "inclusive". Friday's gathering in the capital Naypyitaw was reportedly to focus on the peace process, national reconciliation and political reform. Senior officials attending included the president, both vice-presidents, the two parliamentary speakers, the military chief and representatives from various ethnic political parties. Ms Suu Kyi, whose party the National League for Democracy (NLD) is the official opposition, has called for such a meeting in the past. Afterwards, a presidential spokesman said they had agreed the parliament would discuss amendments to the constitution but gave no details. The opposition wants to repeal clauses that reserve parliamentary seats for the military and prevent Ms Suu Kyi from standing for president. Having been wooed by Thein Sein to join parliament and validate his reforms Aung San Suu Kyi has spent the last two years as an increasingly frustrated outsider. The meetings with the president have dried up and Ms Suu Kyi's repeated requests for talks with the head of the army have gone unanswered. With just a year to go to the general elections, Myanmar appeared to be sleepwalking towards yet another crisis. Now the talks are on but many will view them with cynicism. The Burmese government is well known for making grand gestures just before high-profile diplomatic visits. In the past it was groups of political prisoners being released. Now most of them are out of jail, there will be those who see these discussions in a similar light. In two weeks President Obama will be in Naypyitaw to attend the most prestigious summit the country has ever seen. It seems the threat of a few pointed words forced the Burmese leaders into action. Last week, officials announced that the general election would take place in either late October or early November 2015. The NLD boycotted the last general election in 2010, because of rules it said were unfair. That poll, the first in the nation in 20 years, moved Myanmar away from decades of outright military rule. It now has a civilian government dominated by a military-backed party. Thein Sein, the elected president, initiated a series of reforms after the election that led to the Suu Kyi-led pro-democracy opposition rejoining the political process. A by-election in 2012 saw the Nobel peace laureate - who spent years under house arrest as she called for democracy in the nation - elected to parliament in a landslide win for the NLD. Despite her personal popularity, she is banned from running for president in next year's election for constitutional reasons. Thein Sein's government, meanwhile, is facing criticism that the reform process has stalled. Earlier this week the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, told the general assembly that while progress had been achieved, there were also signs of backtracking, citing unresolved ethnic conflicts, the incarceration of political prisoners and violence in Rakhine state. Mr Obama is expected to make his second presidential visit to Myanmar, also known as Burma, in November. The White House said Mr Obama had asked Thein Sein to take "additional steps" towards resolving the conflict in Rakhine. In 2012 violence broke out between Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims, killing about 200 people. Since then tens of thousands of people have been displaced, mostly from the minority Rohingya community. There were 653 people charged in 2012 out of 4,908 offences reported to 29 forces in England, Scotland and Wales. Police chiefs said the figures demonstrate a new challenge. Last week, interim guidelines were issued, aimed at reducing the number of charges in England and Wales, after a string of controversial court cases. The conviction of Paul Chambers in 2010 for joking on Twitter about blowing up Robin Hood Airport in South Yorkshire was widely condemned and eventually quashed. The latest statistics were released by the police under the Freedom of Information Act. Fewer Twitter prosecutions likely In 2008, when the level of social network activity was much lower, there were 556 reports of alleged crimes with 46 people charged. By this year that figure had risen to 4,908 allegations and 653 charged. Chief Constable Andy Trotter of the Association of Chief Police Officers said it was important that police prioritised social networking crimes which caused genuine harm. He said: "We need to accept that people have the right to communicate, even to communicate in an obnoxious or disagreeable way, and there is no desire on the part of the police to get involved in that judgment. "But equally, there are many offences involving social media such as harassment or genuine threats of violence which cause real harm. "It is that higher end of offending which forces need to concentrate on." Police forces were asked to provide the number of crime reports in which either Facebook or Twitter was a key factor, and nearly two-thirds responded. Offences included those committed on the websites, such as the posting of abusive messages, but also violent attacks committed for real but provoked by these kinds of online postings. As well as menacing and threatening messages, there were also numerous sexual offences including grooming, complaints of stalking, allegations of racially aggravated conduct and reports of fraud. Greater Manchester Police charged the highest number of people, at 115. Lancashire Police say they received reports of six threats of murder. Mr Trotter said some of the offences would have been committed anyway, regardless of the existence of social media. "We have to respect free speech and cannot have police forces responding simply because of public outcry. "In many ways, online communities can be self-regulating and good at weeding out unacceptable behaviour. We need to find a way of distinguishing between that type of behaviour and that which requires police intervention." He welcomed recent guidance from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), saying it set a "high threshold" for that intervention and represented a first step towards a better co-ordinated approach. Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer QC has announced new guidelines on how people who post offensive messages on Facebook and Twitter should be dealt with. He admitted the CPS made the wrong "judgment call" in the case of Mr Chambers. Sands will be the second woman to take the helm of the news and current affairs show since it began in 1957. Dame Jenny Abramsky was the first when she was appointed in 1986. She went on to become head of BBC radio. Sands said: "I've felt very close to the Today programme for more than 40 years: every listener does. "It is an honour to join the team whose journalism makes such a contribution to British life." BBC head of news, James Harding, said he was "delighted" with Sands's appointment: "She will bring her familiar verve and her broad range of interests." Gwyneth Williams, controller of Radio 4, said: "I want to welcome Sarah to Radio 4. She brings long experience of leadership in journalism and will add a fresh, creative approach to the biggest hitting news programme of them all." And Evening Standard owner Evgeny Lebedev said: "Sarah will leave with our very best wishes for her new role." Sands was editor of the Evening Standard for five years. Prior to that, she was the editor of The Sunday Telegraph. Angus was appointed deputy director of the BBC's World Service group last year.

I didn't want my family to worry about me." Cole, who scored 121 goals in 275 appearances for the Red Devils, played for 12 clubs in his career - including Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers - and made 15 appearances for England. He has been diagnosed with a condition called Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, which causes scarring of the kidney. "Putting on all the weight has been the toughest part," added Cole. "When I retired, I promised my kids I will never put on weight because when [footballers] retire they eat and drink. "Seeing the change in my body, that has been tough, it wreaks havoc with yourself.

Quarry firm A and L McCrae Limited plans to remove 15,000 tonnes of material annually over five years from the site in Glen Creran in Appin. The landowner said the site would be restored to pasture land. But MSP Mike Russell said the glen was part of an "extraordinary landscape" and the quarry should not go ahead. Landowner Dominque Collinet, whose family has owned land in the glen since the late 1970s, told BBC Alba the restoration work that would follow the quarry would improve the quality of the land. He said the field could then be used for pasture and growing silage. Alasdair McCrae, of A and L McCrae Limited, said the site contained high-quality building sand. He said there was a shortage of the material that could be locally sourced in Argyll. He said the sand extraction operations would be screened from nearby houses by existing woodland, and a single track road to the proposed site would be improved. Mr McCrae said: "The single track road is roughly 700m long and we propose to put in three lay-bys and a new bell mouth at the farm entrance to alleviate congestion." He added that lorries going to and from the site would travel no faster than 15mph on the single-track road, and measures would be taken to avoid disturbing wildlife. But Mr Russell said: "There are some places where development should be okay, some places you say 'this is just the wrong place'. "Anybody who sees the glen sees this extraordinary landscape. "Development should not take place in this glen." Tony Kersley, a lead campaigner against the quarry, said the sand extraction operations would be "disastrous" for tourism and Sites of Special Scientific Importance in the area. He said: This area is just too sensitive." Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the troops would be partnered with 100 New Zealand military personnel. The mission's purpose is to help train the Iraqi army so that it can gain and hold ground against Islamic State (IS) militants, he said. The mission, to be based about 30 miles north of the capital Baghdad, is expected to be operational by May. The deployment was first announced in March. The new additions will leave on Wednesday. "We won't have a combat role. It is a training mission not a combat mission," Mr Abbott told journalists at a press conference in Canberra on Tuesday. "I can't tell you that this is risk free." "The work of the coalition against the Islamist death cult has been effective," he went on, referring to IS. "We have seen the Iraqis retake [the city of] Tikrit... we have seen incremental gains by the Iraqi forces and the Kurdish forces," he said, while conceding that large swathes of Iraq remained out of the Iraqi government's control. He said IS was not just terrorising Iraq and Syria "but is reaching out to Australia", making Australia's involvement in the conflict an issue of national security. Australia joined the fight against IS last September and has already sent six F/A18 fighter jets, 200 special forces and 400 military support staff. The Australian government estimates that about 90 Australian citizens are fighting with IS in Syria and Iraq and another 140 citizens in Australia are offering the group support. The new training mission will be formally reviewed after 12 months. The force has revealed some of the worst calls it has had to its emergency number, including reports of a hissing cat following someone down the road. It said the number of 999 calls it received had increased by 11% in the past year - an extra 216,000. Christmas and the New Year is normally the busiest time of year for calls. The Met said the 999 emergency number should only be used to contact police in situations when someone was in danger or when a crime was actually taking place. It said the increase in calls was thought to be partly down to an "increasing population and the reduction of some out-of-hours services by other service providers". 5,000 999 calls received 1,300 Require a police response within 15 minutes 1,000 Calls about anti-social behaviour 450 Reports of missing people 300 Burglary reports Some of the 999 calls released by the Met included: Ch Supt Pippa Mills, who leads the Met's Command and Control Unit, said: "Although the majority of people who require police assistance use the numbers correctly, there are still too many calls to emergency lines where the 999 number is being used as an information service. "In many cases a simple internet search would provide the answer to the question posed by the caller." The free-to-air 3D coverage will be available to viewers with access to a 3D TV set and to the BBC's HD Red Button channel on certain platforms. Line-calls decided by Hawk-Eye and graphics will all be shown in 3D. "We're delighted to provide live 3D coverage as this year's Championships reach a climax," said Kim Shillinglaw, head of BBC 3D. "Major UK sporting events are a big part of our trials with 3D content and this allows us to build on our work from previous Wimbledon's and the London 2012 Olympics." Six additional 3D cameras placed around Centre Court will help broadcast the enhanced action from the latter stages of this year's Championships. The coverage is part of the BBC's two-year trial of producing and distributing 3D content. Wimbledon 3D will be available on the BBC Red Button HD channel on the following platforms Thursday, 4 July 1300-2000, Ladies' semi-finals - 3D Friday, 5 July 1300-2000, Men's semi-finals - 3D Saturday, 6 July 1400-1755 Ladies final - 3D Sunday, 7 July 1400-1800 Men's final - 3D The cat was a gift from his children. It is yet to be named but already has a twitter feed: @EmbassyCat. Mr Assange claimed asylum at the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faces questioning over sexual assault allegations. He fears if he leaves he will be sent to the US and put on trial. Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks has made headlines around the world releasing confidential documents, including high-profile ones from the US. Earlier this year a UN panel found that Sweden and the UK were violating Mr Assange's rights, saying that his case amounts to "arbitrary detention" and that he should be released. His lawyers are attempting to enforce the guidance in Swedish courts and filed arguments on Monday, Reuters reported. The @EmbassyCat account has started following several others, including the US State Department, the British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, and another famous feline - the British foreign office's chief mouser Palmerston. An early tweet apparently sent to Palmerston quoted a line from Shakespeare's Henry VI Part Two. "Small curs are not regarded when they grin; But great men tremble when the lion roars," it read. Palmerston, who goes by the handle @DiploMog on Twitter, is yet to respond. A union leader for employees in the state parks, Marlene Sifontes, told Reuters news agency some had spent two weeks without food before they died. She said lions and tigers in the zoo in Caracas were fed mango and pumpkin to make up their meat rations. Government officials have denied the deaths were due to a lack of food. In other cities zoos are reported to be in a worse situation, forced to ask for donations of fruit, vegetables and meat from local businesses. Marlene Sifontes, union leader for employees of the state park agency, Inparques, said: "The story of the animals at Caricuao is a metaphor for Venezuelan suffering." Venezuela is in the grip of a severe economic crisis which has led to food shortages and periodic looting. President Nicolas Maduro blames the country's problems on what he says is an "economic war" waged by businessmen and government opponents. His opponents blame the crisis on economic mismanagement by the government and a heavy reliance on oil, which has dropped in price. The two protagonists in those series were strong, feisty females who took no nonsense from anyone. So it seems a little surreal to be back in Denmark now to talk to the same broadcasting company about their new show, called Blachman, in which a woman is required to stand naked in front of fully-clothed men and to remain silent as those men talk about her body. "It's not reality TV!" protests the show's inventor and host, Thomas Blachman. "And it's poetry, not porn." Yet it makes uncomfortable viewing. Blachman, shirt carefully unbuttoned, sits with a fashion designer friend of his and stares at a woman's pubic hair. "I'm not really keen on shaving and waxing," he comments, before remarking to his co-host that the woman has nice feet. The woman, paid around 250 euros (£214) for her appearance, just stands there and takes it. "Oh come on!" says Blachman, when I say I find this deeply unnerving. "Women talk all the time - this show is about letting men say what they think about women's bodies." Blachman believes that in modern Denmark, where there are strict equal opportunities laws, men have become emasculated by powerful women and silenced under a cloak of political correctness. "Women's bodies thirst for men's words!" he insists. "We have had so much bad reaction from aggressive feminists and I didn't see it coming... Sure I wanted to provoke a little bit, but it's not sexist." When I meet Nina - an attractive, bubbly primary school teacher who was one of Blachman's naked studies - she tells me she felt empowered by her appearance on the show. Although she admits she would have liked to have been able to speak, particularly when Blachman and his guest were discussing her Caesarean scar. Following the broadcast, Nina has not only had scores of fan mail letters, she has also had five marriage proposals. But feminists - like Danish comedian Sanne Sondergaard - are outraged. "In Denmark, sexism is not an issue," she says. "And then this show came along. It's sexist rubbish. "I'm sorry but even if he says nice things, a man is not entitled to comment on my body, just because I'm a woman!" DR2 has had more complaints about the Blachman show than any other. It has also had a huge number of viewings, particularly on its "watch again" internet site. Sofia Fromberg, the commissioning editor of the programme, insists she is not chasing ratings with breasts and bottoms. "Blachman certainly did not have the highest ratings of any of our shows. DR2's objective is to create debate about important issues in society. And it has created a lot of debate!" she says. Thomas Blachman has been accused in the Danish media of being little more than a "sleazy middle aged man in a strip club". But, for much of the programme he seems ill at ease and a little awkward. His focus tends to be tamely set below the knees rather than on the more predictable breasts and bottoms. "Nice ankles - I'm an ankles kind of a guy" he says. Before making a single remark about the nude female in front of him, one of his co-hosts takes a good five minutes to explain that he had been happily married for 50 years until his wife died last year - at such times, the silent naked woman in front of them almost seems forgotten and irrelevant. But there is no hiding the fact that the more outrageous the show, the more it pulls in viewers. Last week during a segment on breastfeeding, the host of the Dutch Saturday night show, Langs de Leeuw, suggested he would like to try breast milk. An audience member offered him some milk she had expressed but host Paul de Leeuw told her he would rather take it from its source and suckled both her breasts on live TV. A huge social media row followed quickly, although the network did point out that the act had not been sexual. A few years ago I made a film on another controversial Dutch programme called I Want Your Baby! A single woman who wanted a child, was allowed to select the father of her baby from a group of eligible men, voting off the weakest links each week. That show caused uproar in the Netherlands and prompted questions in parliament - it never got beyond the pilot. Last month, reality TV in France was plunged into some deep soul-searching over its future after a contestant died on the tough desert island challenge Koh Lanta and the doctor - who was unable to save him - killed himself. Poor ratings caused Italy's state broadcaster RAI to scrap all its TV reality shows back in 2007. RAI said it would put the money it saved into Italian-made films and more intellectual programmes. Now its new female director has called time on sexily dressed showgirls and game-show assistants on screen, claiming she wants to project a more sophisticated image of women on the network - one where women are more than cosmetically perfect airheads. For any viewer missing the hitherto ubiquitous bimbo though, she does remain intact on scores of programmes broadcast on the private channels owned by the former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Back in Denmark, Blachman points out that he never judged or criticised the naked woman's body. "It's a show, which actually is a tribute to women," he says. Unfortunately for him, his "tribute" has not been re-commissioned. Finches in the Galapagos Islands are being threatened by a parasitic fly that attacks their young. A new mathematical model suggests that the birds may succumb to this pest in 50 years. But the authors say that human intervention could alleviate the risk of extinction. During his time on the Galapagos in the early 1830s, Charles Darwin noticed that finches on different islands in the chain were quite similar but had large variations in their beaks, depending on the local food source. Because the islands are so far from the mainland, Darwin concluded that the birds had begun as one species and then started to evolve into separate varieties of finch. There are between 14 and 18 species on the Galapagos - but this study looked at one of the most common, the medium ground finch. Around 270,000 of these birds are found on Santa Cruz island. The finches are threatened by a nest fly which lays parasitic larvae in their nests which attack the young, usually at night. "They are maggots basically, is what they are," said Prof Dale Clayton from the University of Utah, the senior author on the study. "Some of the eggs are laid in the nostrils of the nestlings so those eggs hatch and the larvae begin feeding immediately in the nostrils so you see perforations through the bill in especially bad cases. "They are pretty nasty customers." The flies are believed to have arrived in the Galapagos in the 1960s. Prof Clayton and his colleagues developed a mathematical model using five years of data to project the impact of fly damage on the reproduction rates. Finches breed more successfully in years when relatively high rainfall increases the food supply. They tend to do badly during extremely wet or dry years. In two of the three scenarios that they modelled, the finch populations were declining and at risk of extinction. In the worst scenario the birds would be gone in 50 years. The model showed that the critical elements in their survival were the probability that a given nest was infested by flies and to a lesser extent the proportion of adult finches that survive from one year to the next. But the model also contains some good news according to the paper's first author, Dr Jennifer Koop, who carried out the research as a doctoral student and now is an assistant professor of biology at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. "Even though these guys may be going locally extinct, the model also shows that if you can reduce the probability of infestation, then you significantly alleviate the risk of extinction," she said. The researchers argue that if the number of infected nests could be reduced by 40% then the risk of extinction would essentially be lifted. There are a number of human interventions that could achieve this, they say, including the introduction of wasps that would lay their eggs in the fly larvae which would destroy them. Another idea is to use pesticides. Cotton balls would be treated with the chemicals and left for the birds to incorporate into their nests. "The birds will travel up to 60 feet or so and pull the cotton out and line their nests," said Prof Clayton, "If they get at least a gram of that fumigated cotton in their nests, you kill 100% of the flies." The scientists say that the stress from the flies might also provoke an evolutionary response in the finches. They point to a related species where the nestlings learned to become more vocal when attacked by the pest, as a result the parents fed them more and their survival rates improved. Researchers are concerned that these threatened finches may simply not have enough time to adapt. Follow Matt on Twitter @mattmcgrathbbc. The toll badge will cost up to €130 (£103; $162) a year, depending on a car's age, engine size and emissions. German motorists will pay tolls for local roads as well as the Autobahn motorways. But that will be offset by a cut in their motor vehicle tax. The European Commission has warned that the new toll may be discriminatory. A letter from EU Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc, quoted by German media, says the offset scheme for German drivers - to spare them additional road costs - may discriminate against foreigners, thereby violating EU law. The toll - known in German as "Pkw-Maut" - is not yet law. The plan is to introduce it in 2016. The Social Democrats (SPD), in a coalition led by the Christian Democrats (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU), cautioned that important details would still have to be hammered out in parliament. "The Pkw-Maut won't leave the Bundestag [lower house] in the form in which it arrived," said Soren Bartol, a senior SPD politician. The plan presented by Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt gives foreign drivers the option of buying a 10-day toll badge for €10 or a two-month one for €20. Camper vans will be taxed, along with cars. But motorbikes, electric cars, adapted cars for the disabled and ambulances will all be exempt. Mr Dobrindt, of the CSU, said the new toll could generate €500m annually to spend on road infrastructure.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Northern Ireland international, 29, is in the final few months of his contract, having first joined the Dons in 2012. "His agent has indicated that there may be (English) Championship interest in Niall, which I am not too surprised about," said McInnes. "And it's difficult for us to compete with Championship clubs." With Aberdeen aiming to finish second in the Premiership and a Scottish Cup semi-final to look forward to, McInnes is hoping McGinn can end his Dons career with a flourish. "He's still got plenty to offer," he said. "I don't want to talk in the past tense; we're looking forward to the remainder of the season. He's been a real key player for us over the years. "The financial gains often come into it, with players of a certain age. "Niall has been very respectful. He accepts that our offer was a very good one and he's thought long and hard about it. "We pushed for answer and, unfortunately, it looks like his destination will be the Championship." McGinn first joined Aberdeen during Craig Brown's spell as manager, having been at Celtic for three years during which time he had a loan spell at Brentford. He was part of the Dons team that won the Scottish League Cup in 2014 and he won the Scottish Cup with Celtic three years earlier. Capable of playing in wide and central positions, McGinn has made over 200 appearances for Aberdeen, scoring 67 goals. He has also won 50 international caps and has three goals for his country, including one against Ukraine at Euro 2016. The EY Scottish Item Club now estimates growth of only 1.2% for 2016, whereas last December it expected 1.9%. That is just over half the equivalent forecast growth rate for the whole of the UK, of 2.3%. That assumes the referendum result retains Britain's place in the European Union. If the vote is for Leave, there could be at least short-term uncertainty hitting economic performance. In subsequent years, the forecast suggests that the gap between Scotland and the rest of the UK should narrow, but it remains significant. The EY Scottish Item Club forecast is for 2% growth in Scottish output (or Gross Domestic Product) in 2017, compared with 2.6% for the UK. In 2018, Scottish growth is forecast to be 1.8%, and 2.4% across the UK. These figures do not include the impact of the falling value of output from oil and gas extraction, down by 8% this year. The lower non-oil growth forecast reflects the drop in orders hitting the supply chain, particularly in engineering and some business services. There will also be a drop in activity as big government-funded construction projects wind down. That has been an important part of maintaining at least some growth in the Scottish economy over the past two years. The more buoyant parts of the economy, which should see growth continuing, focus on consumer confidence. That is why retail, hospitality and tourism are expected to see faster growth. There may also be some support for growth from government spending linked to the City Deals. The gap between Scottish economic performance and that of the rest of the UK had closed from 2004, and in some years Scottish growth was stronger. But the lag has opened up again in the past year. While it is forecast to widen further during 2016, the gap should narrow next year, as the non-oil economy picks up pace. While output from mining and quarrying, which includes the oil and gas extraction sector, is forecast to fall by a very large 8% this year, the only area in which Scottish growth is thought likely to match or out-perform that of the UK is in manufacturing. There is growth forecast in that sector, though it is very weak, and in metals and machinery, it is expected to contract 1% this year. This latest forecast is based on an independent assessment of economic behaviour, known as Item, or the Independent Treasury Economic Model. Dougie Adams, senior economic advisor to the EY Scottish Item Club said: "Scotland now faces a third consecutive year of slowing GDP growth in 2016. "But as the negative impact of the oil-price bust on growth fades in 2017 and 2018 the pace of expansion should pick-up, with an output increase of 2% expected from next year. He highlighted the performance of the construction industry for explaining much of the slowdown. "In December, EY Scottish Item Club reported an unsustainable, overdependence on the construction sector in Scotland for growth," he said. "This expansion is now easing, from a staggering 20% in 2014 to 11% in 2015, eroding the sector's contribution of overall GDP growth." Mark Harvey, senior partner in Scotland of EY (formerly Ernst & Young), said: "A slowdown in Scotland's growth is to be expected given the economic headwinds to be negotiated as well as the uncertainty presented by fluctuating global markets. "From next year, the country is poised for a significant increase in GDP growth with Scotland's cities making a considerable contribution. "The investment and development opportunities generated through the City Region Deals will be key to driving the future growth of Scotland's economy." He added : "Further rebalancing of the economy and a substantial increase to productivity is required for Scotland to increase growth. "Local economic policies, increased powers through devolution and continuing stewardship from government will be instrumental in generating greater economic success in Scotland." Another of the main forecasters of the Scottish economy, the Fraser of Allander Institute, at Strathclyde University, in March published a forecast of 1.9% growth during 2016, down from its forecast last November of 2.2%. In another report out on Monday morning, a survey of business sentiment, carried out regularly by the BDO accountancy firm, found in May that output and growth expectations had dropped to below trend rates. Covering evidence from business order books across the UK, the survey suggests a drop below long-term trend growth for the first time in three years. The sharpest drop since the BDO business survey this time last year has been in expectations of recruitment growth. Colin Gunn was jailed for life for planning the 2004 murder of John and Joan Stirland in Lincolnshire. He claimed his rights were violated when he was moved to a "prison within a prison" at HMP Belmarsh, amid fears he was mounting an escape bid. Mr Justice Bean ruled it was a "reasonable" decision at the time. Gunn, 47, made millions as the gangland ruler of the Bestwood estate in Nottingham until he was jailed for conspiracy to murder in 2006. The Stirlands were found shot dead at their bungalow in Trusthorpe in a revenge killing after Mrs Stirland's son killed an associate of the Gunn family. In May 2013, he was transferred from HMP Frankland in County Durham to what was described by a national newspaper as a "Silence of the Lambs"-style cell. The court heard Gunn had arranged for an inmate to pass a note to a prison officer on which was written the address of the officer's disabled brother, telling him, "Well, you now work for me and Colin Gunn". Gunn's barrister, Philip Rule, argued that the four months in top security unlawfully interfered with his ability to receive visitors and therefore his right to respect for private and family life under the European Convention on Human Rights. The judge said that "it was a reasonable decision at the time", and ordered Gunn to pay £1,000 towards the government's legal costs. His family said he had been admitted to the Scripps Memorial Hospital in San Diego last week, but had failed to recover fully from surgery. Shankar gained widespread international recognition through his association with The Beatles. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh described him as a "national treasure and global ambassador of India's cultural heritage". In a statement quoted by Reuters, Shankar's wife Sukanya and daughter Anoushka said he had recently undergone surgery which would have "potentially given him a new lease of life". "Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the surgeons and doctors taking care of him, his body was not able to withstand the strain of the surgery," they said. "We were at his side when he passed away. "Although it is a time for sorrow and sadness, it is also a time for all of us to give thanks and to be grateful that we were able to have him as a part of our lives. He will live forever in our hearts and in his music." Anoushka Shankar is herself a sitar player. Shankar's other daughter is Grammy award-winning singer Norah Jones. George Harrison of the Beatles once called Shankar "the godfather of world music". He played at Woodstock and the 1967 Monterey Pop festival, and also collaborated with violinist Yehudi Menuhin and jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. Shankar also composed a number of film scores - notably Satyajit Ray's celebrated Apu trilogy (1951-55) and Richard Attenborough's Gandhi (1982) - and collaborated with US composer Philip Glass in Passages in 1990. Talking in later life about his experiences at the influential Monterey Pop festival, Ravi Shankar said he was "shocked to see people dressing so flamboyantly". He told Rolling Stone magazine that he was horrified when Jimi Hendrix set his guitar on fire on stage. "That was too much for me. In our culture, we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God," he said. In 1999, Shankar was awarded the highest civilian citation in India - the Bharat Ratna, or Jewel of India. Life in pictures: Ravi Shankar Tributes pour in Western musicians praise Shankar On Wednesday morning, shortly after his death, the Recording Academy of America announced the musician would receive a lifetime achievement award at next year's Grammys. The Academy's President Neil Portnow said he had been able to inform Shankar of the honour last week. "He was deeply touched and so pleased," he said, adding, "we have lost an innovative and exceptional talent and a true ambassador of international music". Born into a Bengali family in the ancient Indian city of Varanasi, Ravi Shankar was originally a dancer with his brother's troupe. He gave up dancing to study the sitar at the age of 18. For seven years Shankar studied under Baba Allauddin Khan, founder of the Maihar Gharana style of Hindustani classical music, and became well-known in India for his virtuoso sitar playing. For the last years of his life, Ravi Shankar lived in Encinitas, California, with his wife.

Media playback is not supported on this device There was almost a sense of disbelief around the Stade de France at the break as the host nation walked off with a 4-0 advantage, two of the goals coming in the closing minutes of the half. Olivier Giroud's low strike and Paul Pogba's powerful header from a corner had settled early French nerves and put their side in control. Dimitri Payet scored his third goal of an increasingly memorable tournament for the West Ham playmaker with a precise low strike from 20 yards that skidded across the greasy surface before Antoine Griezmann deftly lifted the ball over Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson. After the restart Kolbeinn Sigthorsson stabbed home at the near post from Gylfi Sigurdsson's cross as Iceland refused to give in before France restored their four-goal advantage when Giroud headed in a free-kick. Still, there was more to cheer for the excellent Iceland fans when Birkir Bjarnason headed a second for his side in the final stages of what has been a remarkable tournament debut for their team. Didier Deschamps' side had only conceded twice in the tournament before meeting Iceland - both penalties - but they had not scored in the opening half of a match and only really shown in flashes that they can reproduce on the pitch the ability they appear to have on paper. That changed at a wet but atmospheric Stade de France on Sunday. Griezmann had not scored in 648 minutes of football for France at this ground but he ended that with his composed, delicate finish. In some ways the goal was everything that was best about France; a patient 14-pass move that ended with a moment of invention to open up the opposition. A raking ball forward was superbly dummied by Giroud, completely bamboozling the Iceland defence and giving Griezmann a clear run at goal. The goal took Griezmann to four in the tournament and he is now the highest scorer at Euro 2016, with Payet and Giroud among several players one behind. But even though France were very comfortable winners, it was far from a flawless performance. Iceland created several decent chances - Jon Dadi Bodvarsson shot over from a good position in the first half and Hugo Lloris made a brilliant save to stop a Sverrir Ingason header after the restart - in addition to their two goals. After defeating the Republic of Ireland and Iceland in the knockout stages, France will face a very different challenge against a German side with a lot more attacking capability. Media playback is not supported on this device Portugal skipper Cristiano Ronaldo rather sourly remarked that Iceland would "not go on to do anything" after their 1-1 draw at the start of the group stage. How wrong he was. Their exploits at Euro 2016 have not only done wonders for spreading the word about Iceland's modest population (329,000 in case you had not heard) but captivated a nation and been one of the feel-good stories of a tournament that has desperately needed them. They not only defied the odds by qualifying from the group stage - including a dramatic late winner against Austria - but also deservedly eliminated England in a match that they will surely never forget before running into a red-hot France. Under the calm and steady joint stewardship of part-time dentist Heimir Hallgrimsson and former Sweden boss Lars Lagerback they showed what can be achieved through determination and organisation. Even after they were on the wrong end of a 4-0 half-time scoreline against Les Blues, they showed the character and passion to 'win' the second half 2-1, cheered all the way by their magnificent fans, who gave the tournament the incredible hand clap. Media playback is not supported on this device Inventive, alert and always involved, the Atletico Madrid star buzzed along and just behind the front line and was at the heart of so many good things for the French. Iceland striker Kolbeinn Sigthorsson: "Our defending didn't work out as we wanted, but it's not strange that we're tired after so many games with the same squad. We got back into it in the second half, we showed a lot of character to do that, and we're really happy that we won the second half." Iceland captain Aron Gunnarsson: "We are disappointed but incredibly proud. It's been an amazing experience. A lot of hard work has gone into this and the fans have been fantastic. "[Speaking after the final whistle] They are still singing, it's unbelievable. The French have all left. They are still here. It just shows what we put into this. "The first half was terrible, we managed to play better after the break. We decided we could not leave like that. We will learn from this. We are just starting." France midfielder Dimitri Payet: "We managed to score a lot of goals, we scored quickly compared to previous fixtures. "We have a lot of quality going forward. This was our best performance. We worked all week on Iceland's strengths, we were aware of that." France striker Olivier Giroud: "We're very pleased, we scored five goals. Although we did concede a couple, we had a lot of fun and are pleased with our performance. We're going to try to erase a few of these small defensive mistakes, because against Germany we'd pay a heavy price." It was not the end they wanted but Iceland can nevertheless return home with a lifetime of memories and a whole heap of new friends. They can look forward to World Cup qualifying in a group that contains fellow Euro 2016 sides Ukraine, Turkey and Croatia. France can look forward to that tasty semi-final against Germany in Marseille. The winner of that faces Wales or Portugal back at the Stade de France. 12: France are still unbeaten in games with Iceland (W9 D3 L0). 17: France have not lost in their last 17 major tournament games played on home soil, winning 15 and drawing two. 5: France have scored five headers at Euro 2016 - a record by a team in a single European Championship. 4: France are the first team to score four in the first half of a European Championship game. 10: Olivier Giroud has scored 10 goals in his last nine starts for France. He has netted seven goals in eight games for Les Blues in 2016. 5: Iceland attempted more shots on target in this game than all four of France's previous opponents at Euro 2016 combined (three). 5: Iceland became the first team in history to name an unchanged starting XI in their opening five games of a Euros. 1: Samuel Umtiti was the first outfield player to win his first cap for France in a major tournament since Gabriel de Michele at the 1966 World Cup. He ended with a 100% pass accuracy from 77 passes. Match ends, France 5, Iceland 2. Second Half ends, France 5, Iceland 2. Corner, France. Conceded by Sverrir Ingi Ingason. Attempt blocked.

France scored five to bring a brutal end to the Iceland fairytale and set up an intriguing Euro 2016 semi-final against world champions Germany in Marseille on Thursday.

Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland said the test was simple: "If it would be illegal to say it on the street, it is illegal to say it online." The Crown Office said it would not pursue satirical or mildly offensive humour or provocative statements. But it promised a "robust" response to hate crime, stalking or credible threats of violence The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has previously sought clarity on where the legal boundary lies in such matters. The guidelines state that communications should be considered for prosecution if they: The Lord Advocate said the aim was not to deny freedom of speech, but the law would target internet trolls posting sectarian, homophobic or violent messages or pictures. In an interview with the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme, the Lord Advocate was asked how "grossly offensive" could be defined when it could be seen as relative. He replied: "The guidance sets out that it would not include, for example, humour, satirical comment, which is part of the democratic debate, so there's guidance to prosecutors as to what's not included. "It doesn't include offensive comment because we recognise that, in a democratic society, with use of social media you can have offensive comment which wouldn't be criminal but it's really the category above the high bar grossly offensive which has a significant effect on the recipient of the comment. "We've all seen on the media reports of what you described, internet trolls, where this kind of comment, grossly offensive comment, is sent out to directly wound and has quite a significant effect." He added: "There's very detailed guidance of all the factors that prosecutors will take into account when they assess whether or not to raise criminal proceedings in relation to grossly offensive comments posted on social media." The US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) cuts trade tariffs and sets common standards in member countries including Japan and the US. China said it was "open to any mechanism" that follows World Trade Organization rules. But it did not indicate it would join the TPP, which still needs to be ratified by lawmakers in each country. China, which was not part of the negotiations, has announced its own rival trade agreement. The TPP, which covers about 40% of the world economy, was struck on Monday after five days of talks in Atlanta in the US. Those talks were the culmination of five years of negotiations between member countries led by the US. The deal is seen by some as a counter balance to China's growing economic influence in the Asia Pacific region. China's Ministry of Commerce called the TPP "one of the key free trade agreements for the Asia-Pacific region", according to a statement on Xinhua state news agency website. "China hopes the TPP pact and other free trade arrangements in the region can boost each other and contribute to the Asia-Pacific's trade, investment and economic growth," it said. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Tuesday the deal signified a "new Asia-Pacific century", but added that it would have strategic meaning if China joined in the future. "It would contribute largely to our nation's security and Asia-Pacific regional stability," he said. How did it start? With a trade agreement signed 10 years ago between Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore. How big is it? Pretty big. The 12 countries have a population of about 800 million and are responsible for 40% of world trade. What are the criticisms? That negotiations have been conducted in secret, and that it favours big corporations. Who benefits most? Japan stands to reap huge economic benefits from the deal, while for the US it is an important strategic move. What happens next? The agreement will need to be ratified by each of the individual member countries. What people say about TPP What is the TPP and why does it matter? TPP trade deal: Winners and losers Japan has made concessions to open its market wider to food exporters including Australia, New Zealand and the US. Under the deal, 98% of tariffs will be eliminated on a wide range of products including: dairy, beef, sugar, wine, rice, horticulture and seafood, manufactured products, resources and energy. Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called the TPP "a gigantic foundation stone for our future prosperity". Australian sugar cane-growers are unhappy, however, because they wanted more access to the US market than was agreed upon. Canada and Japan have agreed to allow greater access to their tightly controlled dairy markets, while New Zealand convinced the US to accept more of its milk products. Prime Minister John Key said this meant "more jobs, higher incomes and a better standard of living". But higher fuel costs meant the rise was not as strong as in October, when annual retail sales growth hit a 14-year high of 7.2%. Monthly sales in November rose 0.2%, compared to October's increase of 1.8%. The data showed annual fuel sales hit a two-year low last month as fuel prices rose at the fastest rate since 2011. Figures released earlier this week revealed that rising fuel prices had contributed to a rise in the inflation rate in November, which climbed to a two-year high of 1.2%. Paul Sirani, chief market analyst at Xtrade, said: "The retail sector has been in fine fettle since Brexit and, although [Thursday's] figures are not as strong as October's, there is plenty of reason to believe that shoppers will continue to spend well over the festive period." But he added: "The forecast for rising inflation next year is a big worry for consumers. Prices look set to soar in 2017 and households could be put under huge strain." Kate Davies, senior statistician at the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which compiled the retail sales figures, said: "Retailers saw continued growth in the run up to Christmas. "Department stores and household goods stores had a particularly strong month, especially in sales of electronic goods, boosted by 'Black Friday' deals." Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit, said November's data indicated that fourth quarter retail sales were running 2.1% ahead of the previous three months. However, he warned that falling construction output and industrial production could prevent GDP reaching the 0.5% growth recorded in the third quarter of the year. He also noted that consumer spending is likely to come under pressure. "Evidence suggests that spending is currently being driven at least in part by historically high levels of employment and rising wages. "However, this looks set to change next year, when the combination of higher inflation and weak pay growth are likely to curb consumer spending." Plaid held Dwyfor Meirionnydd and Arfon. UKIP's leader in Wales, Nathan Gill came fourth in the poll for the seat of Ynys Mon, which Labour held on to. Mr Gill tweeted: "Walking home from the count to the dawn chorus, magical night for UKIP Wales, cemented place as 3rd party in Wales". The Conservatives retain their seat in Aberconwy. Kim Leadbeater, said she "only saw the good in people". Speaking in Birstall, where Mrs Cox died, she said tributes to her sister were "amazing. [From] proper Yorkshire people. Absolutely beautiful". With her parents Gordon and Jean stood beside her, Ms Leadbeater described events on Thursday as "surreal". "My parents and my partner and I are quite private people and Jo in true character had fully respected our wish to remain out of the public eye," she said. "But, I could not continue to watch the overwhelming outpouring of genuine grief, sympathy and love that there has been since this horrendous incident occurred without speaking on behalf of Jo's family. "We want to say a most sincere and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has expressed their love and affection for Jo and sent their thoughts and sympathy to us. "It has genuinely made a difference and helped us through some of the dark times in the last 48 hours." Ms Leadbeater spoke of the MP receiving abuse on social media during her political career. "But, she would still see the positive and talk about the silent majority who would not always shout the loudest but were in her corner," she said. "Over the last 48 hours, people have not been silent. They have been vocal and passionate and have spoken from the heart. Genuine emotion with no hidden agenda. "Jo would have loved it." Ms Leadbeater said the family would never let her sister leave their lives. "She will live on through Brendan, through us and through her truly wonderful children who will always know what an utterly amazing woman their mother was. "She was a human being. She was perfect." The 41-year-old mother of two became the MP for Batley and Spen in 2015. She was about to attend a constituency surgery when she was fatally injured on Thursday. The family's visit to Birstall came after the man charged with her murder, Thomas Mair, made his first appearance in court. The tanks crossed the border near the Turkish town of Kilis and journalists later heard firing and saw plumes of smoke rising on Syrian territory. Civilians were seen fleeing as the Turkish military advanced. The tanks were backed by artillery, which fired on IS positions in the area, Turkish media said. The reports said about 20 tanks, five armoured personnel carriers and other armoured vehicles were involved in the assault. The incursion took place about 55km (34 miles) south-west of Jarablus, where Turkey last week launched its first major incursion into Syria since the conflict started. Syrian rebels backed by Turkey said the offensive aimed to put pressure on IS from both east and west in that area of the border zone. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said rebels had won control from IS of three villages in the area on Saturday, two nearer to Jarablus and one on the new front to the west. The latest incursion comes three days after Turkey hit out at the United States over criticism of its role in the Syrian conflict. Turkish forces have targeted IS inside Syria, but have also attacked Kurdish fighters in the same region. The pursuit of the Kurdish YPG militia has led to criticism by Washington, which regards the Kurds as one of the most effective forces in the battle against IS. Ankara says the Kurdish militia fighters in Syria have links with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is banned in Turkey and fighting Turkish forces in the south-east of the country. In the latest incidents, at least 11 Turkish soldiers were killed in two separate clashes with the PKK - one in Van province on Friday and another in Hakkari province on Saturday. The fighting in Van, around the Tendurek mountains, resulted in the death of 13 PKK militants in air strikes, Turkish media said. Thirty-three militants were killed in the Hakkari clashes, the Turkish military said. The 33-year-old fly-half, who is the brother of Northampton Saints duo Ken and George Pisi, has 28 caps for Samoa. He will join the Championship leaders from Japan's first Super Rugby franchise Sunwolves, founded in 2015. "Tusi's experience will be beneficial for our younger players and he remains as hungry and motivated as ever," director of rugby Andy Robinson said. Bristol are 13 points clear at the top of the table with three matches of the regular season remaining. The meeting takes place in a climate of uncertainty over the future of Northern Ireland's devolved administration. Stormont parties cannot agree their budget because of a row over welfare. Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny said he was looking forward to a "detailed and open" discussion about economics on both sides of the border. He will meet Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuiness, Finance Minister Arlene Foster and other Stormont ministers at Dublin Castle. As well as the financial crisis, other items on the talks agenda include tacking cross-border smuggling and fuel laundering and EU funding opportunities "These meetings provide an impetus in advancing North South projects and much needed all-island economic cooperation," Mr Kenny said in a statement. "We will have a detailed and open discussion on the financial and economic issues in both jurisdictions." On Thursday night, Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers repeated her warning that time is running out for Northern Ireland's five main parties to agree a deal on welfare reform. Ms Villiers told The BBC's The View programme that Sinn Féin and SDLP must "live up to the agreement that was made at Stormont House" in December. She also said a DUP proposal to produce a so-called "phantom budget" in the absence of a Stormont deal on welfare was "well worth pursuing". She said with or without a deal on welfare reform, Northern Ireland Executive ministers were facing other financial pressures on public services and had to make spending decisions. They have called for a "full-scale review" of Carnival after eight of them were hurt and taken to hospital. Police made 454 arrests and four people were wounded in stabbings during the annual celebration. Ken Marsh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said the event was being "hijacked" by troublemakers. He said: "Last year we had an officer stabbed. This year colleagues were assaulted, abused and spat at. Forty-three were injured - with eight needing hospital treatment. How can that be right? It's completely and utterly unacceptable. "A seemingly growing number of people appear intent on hijacking this Carnival and turning it into a Bank Holiday battleground. The Glastonbury music festival had 40 arrests this year. Notting Hill had 10 times that amount. "The organisers need to understand that this event cannot carry on regardless. I think many Londoners will wonder whether the significant amount of taxpayers' money spent policing this event is frankly worth it." A 15-year-old boy was stabbed in Wornington Road on Sunday. His injuries were critical but are now non-life threatening. A 14-year-old boy was arrested. Three other males, aged 15 to 20, were also wounded in knife attacks on the opening day of the festival. More than 400 people were arrested at Carnival, the highest since 2008. Police said they had seized 90 offensive weapons while patrolling the event. Officers also seized a large canister of compressed nitrous oxide - so-called laughing gas - which had the capacity to fill 2,500 smaller canisters and had a street value of more than £150,000. Ambulance and first aid crews treated more than 1,000 people, mostly for alcohol-related injuries. A spokesperson for the London Mayor said his office would work to tackle gang and knife crime, and City Hall would "thoroughly review" the Carnival. Kensington MP Victoria Borwick said she was "very disappointed that people want to spoil the carnival by using it as a cover to commit crime and inflict terrible injuries". The making of the Notting Hill Carnival The carnival is one of Europe's largest street parties with hundreds of thousands attending each year. It has been held since 1964 as a way for Afro-Caribbean communities to celebrate cultures and traditions. McCartney, 31, will become Irish-qualified in November 2017. The hooker joined Connacht from Auckland Blues in 2014 and played a key role in last season's remarkable Pro12 title triumph. "I'm delighted to sign on for another three years with Connacht Rugby," said the New Zealand native. "I came here excited to be able to help the province achieve its vision of success and I believe we have the structures in place to see us continue to go from strength to strength." McCartney's decision to commit his next three years to Connacht is a boost for the Irish province following coach Pat Lam's surprise announcement earlier this month that he will leave to take over at Bristol at the end of this season. Connacht's star centre Bundee Aki, who is also a New Zealander, signed a contract extension earlier this season which will keep him at the Irish province until 2020 and he will become Irish-qualified next October. The Irish province's chief executive Willie Ruane described McCartney's new deal as a "hugely positive move for Connacht rugby". "He is an important member of the squad and very popular among our supporters. We are thrilled that he sees his future with Connacht," added Ruane. It is a federal law (1 Stat. 613;18 U.S.C. ยง953) aimed at preventing private citizens from conducting foreign affairs without the permission or involvement of the US government. It states: "Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects." The act was passed by the Fifth Congress in 1798 and signed into law by President John Adams in 1799. It was last amended in 1994, and violation of the act is a felony. It was named after Dr George Logan, a state legislator in Pennsylvania, who in 1798 travelled to France and engaged in negotiations there as a private citizen amid rising tensions between the two countries over America's debt to Paris. Just days after his talks, France took a series of steps to ease the tensions - however, historians still dispute whether Logan's personal initiative was the primary cause of the de-escalation or whether it was a mere coincidence that Paris acted on a decision that had already been made. Nevertheless, back in the US the Federalist Party voiced its anger and suspicion about Logan's activities and forced through the Act. No. In fact, only one person has ever been indicted for breaching it. In 1803, a jury indicted Francis Flourney, a Kentucky farmer, after he wrote an article advocating a separate nation in the western part of the US that would be allied with France. However, the farmer was never prosecuted. The act has been mentioned on a number of occasions during major US political scandals in the past 40 years. In 1975, two US senators were accused of violation of the act after they travelled to Cuba for talks with communist officials. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan argued that Rev Jesse Jackson should be prosecuted for travelling to Cuba and Nicaragua. Most recently, in July 2016, then presidential candidate Donald Trump was accused by several US senators of breaching the law. This followed his public comments in which he appeared to have encouraged Russian spy agencies to hack his rival Hillary Clinton's emails. However, none of the accusations led to prosecutions. The Washington Post argues that the act is mostly used as "a political weapon for the opposition party to cast doubt on the other party's foreign policies". Still, Congressional democrats John Conyers and Elijah Cummings have demanded a classified briefing to Congress on Michael Flynn by the justice department and FBI. US House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes has said he wants to investigate the leaks that led to Mr Flynn's resignation. Meanwhile, several House Democrats have called on Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz to launch an investigation into Mr Flynn's ties to Russia. RNLI crews were first alerted to 30 stranded adults and children just after 12:00 BST on Sunday. About 45 minutes later, two adults and a child were escorted to safety from a neighbouring sandbank, followed by a further 25 people soon after. Coxswain Martin Jones said it was "quite an intensive hour" for the crew. Ajit Singh Singhvi was originally placed second in the awards list of Rajasthan University in 1969. But he contested the result, saying he deserved first place. Mr Singhvi received his medal on Thursday after a protracted legal battle and delays by the university. The retired civil servant told BBC Hindi that he was elated after getting his "much-awaited" medal. "I am happy, but I wish I had received this medal long ago. It would have helped my career in the civil service," he told BBC Hindi. He added that he decided to file a legal case in 1969 because he believed that "the university's computation method to determine the topper was wrong". A lower court gave the decision in his favour in 1975 and the university also agreed that he came top in the exams. But Sawai Singh, who was originally awarded the gold medal, challenged the decision in a higher court and a protracted legal battle started. Mr Singhvi's 34-year-long legal struggle ended in 2003 when the Rajasthan high court declared him the "deserving" winner of the gold medal and Mr Singh decided to not appeal against the verdict. But the civil servant had to wait for another 13 years to get his medal due to what the university said were "procedural delays". His friend Trilochan Singh said that "Mr Singhvi had set an example for others that you must fight for what you believe in". Resuming on 480-6, Ryan ten Doeschate (91) and James Foster (49) helped guide Essex to a total of 569. Kent lost both openers with only 18 on the board and Ravi Bopara took 3-49 left them struggling to avoid a three-day defeat on 128-7. But Northeast (116) and James Tredwell (62) put on 124 runs to help Kent to 252-7 at stumps, still 110 in arrears. However, Essex remain firm favourites to clinch victory on the final day and regain top spot in Division Two. Skipper Northeast hit 191 and an unbeaten 70 in their last Championship match, when Kent drew with Derbyshire. Never elected before, he leads a party with no MPs and seeks a similar upheaval in France's National Assembly to push through the changes he promises. French voters return to the polls in a two-stage parliamentary election on 11 and 18 June. The polls say he can. They consistently give Mr Macron's La République en Marche (LREM) a clear lead over his rivals. Recent polls suggest LREM may attract 30% of the vote, well ahead of the centre-right Republicans and far-right National Front (FN). Significantly, that would give him at least 330 of the National Assembly's 577 and possibly far more. Voters across the country want to give Mr Macron the leeway to implement his agenda, Philippe Marlière, professor of French politics at University College London, told the BBC. His party already has a boost from early first-round results abroad, where LREM candidates came first in 10 of the 11 overseas constituencies. The yellow-shaded areas of the map below show the areas where he beat his political rivals in the first round of the presidential election. The poll to select 577 deputies in the lower house of parliament is held over two rounds, the same as the presidential election. Thousands of candidates take part in the first round, and anyone who secures 50% of the constituency vote on a minimum turnout of 25% will win in the first round. Otherwise, the vote goes to a run-off in which any candidate with at least 12.5% of the vote can stand. That differs from the presidential vote, where only the top two candidates go through. While the system gives France's 47 million voters the chance to vote for their favourite without tactical considerations in the first round, ultimately it favours big parties, says Prof Marlière. LREM needs 289 seats for a minimum absolute majority. If, as the polls suggest, the National Front attracts around 18% of the vote, it will do well to win 15 seats in the Assembly. And this is a party that came second in the presidential election with 10.6 million votes. That is because, as in the UK, the winner in each constituency vote takes all. In the last vote in 2012 it won just two seats. It is quite an achievement. His movement was created only in April 2016 and had only a handful of candidates before he won the presidency on 7 May. Within days, a buoyant LREM had managed to recruit candidates to fight 526 constituencies out of a possible 577. Of these, 266 are women and 219 come from civil society. The party already had activist structures in place. A grassroots network of campaigners knocked on some 300,000 doors to take the voter temperature and sculpt policy proposals ahead of Mr Macron's election bid - an initiative known as the Grande Marche (Big March). But this operation for the legislative elections, says Prof Marlière, was a highly centralised business, almost military in character. "It had to be - if you're starting from scratch, democracy knows its limits." The thousands who declared an interest were efficiently whittled down to the final list. "They tend to be very middle-class, very white on the whole, and half are absolute newcomers to politics. It's the unknown - nonetheless most of them look set to be elected," says Prof Marlière. There are a number of colourful characters in the Macron camp - a retired bullfighter in Arles, Marie Sara; an eclair entrepreneur in Lille, Brigitte Liso; a Rwandan refugee in Brittany, Hervé Berville; and Cédric Villani, a "mathematics evangelist" known for his unique dress sense including large spider brooches. A number of the constituency races will be worth watching, including: No-one yet knows, says Prof Marlière, who sees the role of French president, according to the constitution, as the most powerful political position in Europe. "What Macron is doing," he says, "is appealing to the right wing of the Socialists and also to the centre right: that's really about creating something new. Normally you don't put together these two sides." New parties have challenged for power in Europe before, in Spain and in Italy. But few have gone into government, such as the left-wing Syriza party in Greece, and it has struggled to live up to its campaign promises. The task for President Macron will be to hold together the left and right elements of his party, while still purporting to hold the centre ground. His first big test will be his planned labour reforms, leaked drafts of which have already angered France's powerful trade unions. The world champion already has a fight on his hands following his troubled start to the season, which has left him 36 points behind Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg after just three races. Hamilton is only three points clear of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, and there is reason to believe the Australian and team-mate Daniil Kvyat could become a major threat before too long. The team that dominated F1 from 2010-13 have had two tough seasons since the advent of turbo hybrid engines. But they have shown improved form this year, and developments in the pipeline could leapfrog them into Mercedes territory. Ricciardo was on the front row at last weekend's Chinese Grand Prix and led the race in the early laps before a puncture wrecked his chances of a podium finish. And Red Bull are hopeful an upgrade to their Renault engine due at the Canadian Grand Prix in June could help them "cause a bit of mischief ahead of us", as team boss Christian Horner put it in Shanghai. That Renault has an upgrade scheduled for Montreal is well known. What has not yet come out publicly is how big it is. BBC Sport can reveal Renault is predicting a lap-time gain of 0.45 seconds from the upgraded engine. Ricciardo qualified 0.52secs off Rosberg's pole position time in China. Red Bull were further off the pace than that in the first two races in Australia and Bahrain but that is because those circuits are more "power sensitive", as F1 engineers describe the effect engine performance has on lap time. The improvement Renault expect in lap time is equivalent to a power boost of just under 30bhp - and it is believed Renault's deficit to the standard-setting Mercedes is in the region of 35-50bhp. Horner has expressed a degree of caution about the Renault upgrade - after all, it was the company's failure to deliver on its promises that led to Red Bull wanting to split with them last season. "Let's see it first," he says. "Pieces of paper are all very easy to look at, but it is the stopwatch that doesn't lie." In the end, Red Bull and Renault stayed together - albeit with the engine badged with the name of a sponsor - and the car company's renewed commitment to F1 following its decision to buy back Lotus and run its own team is paying off. Renault improved the engine by a reputed 50bhp over the winter and insiders say they are very confident the Canada upgrade will achieve what they expect. Even Horner - who was highly critical of his partner last season - is positive, saying: "You can genuinely see the progress that is being made." Red Bull's domination of F1 in the early part of this decade was founded on the excellence of their aerodynamic design, led by chief technical officer Adrian Newey, arguably the greatest designer in the sport's history. Even in 2014, when Renault were a long way off on engine performance, the Red Bull chassis was at least as good as Mercedes' - and that was enough for Ricciardo to win three races when Mercedes tripped up. Last year, the Red Bull car was not up to its usual standard in the first part of the year. From the summer onwards, though, the car returned to form and this year Red Bull have taken another step. "We've built on getting that back," Ricciardo says. "The second half of last year, the team really turned it around, and that was really refreshing to see. "This year we've started off on an even better footing. Definitely the vibe is somewhat like '14, and it feels good. "It's really promising. Every race we have shown a strength we didn't think we'd have. "We're getting there. We're definitely closing in, and if we keep closing in at this rate it's going to be a pretty spicy rest of the year." Rivals say they can see from the GPS data available to all teams that the Red Bull is actually faster than the Mercedes in slow corners. The Mercedes is quicker in the fast corners - but not by as much. And slow corners have a greater effect on lap time, as the cars spend longer in them. Media playback is not supported on this device Rosberg might have won all three races so far but in each his path has been eased by problems for Ferrari, Mercedes' closest rivals. Both Mercedes and Ferrari believe the red cars are more than good enough to compete with the silver, once they stop having what Rosberg has described as "mishaps". And if Red Bull can gain as much time as is expected, they could turn it into a three-way fight for victories. An upgrade to the Renault engine as significant as the one being talked about will also provide an important boost to their works team. This was always going to be a rebuilding year for Renault, having bought a team that had been starved of resources by its previous owners for the past few years. Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer have been languishing close to the back this season as a result, but an extra half a second or so would lift them towards respectability at the lower end of the midfield. Renault are looking at 2017 as the first season in which they can begin to make a mark. By then, they will have a car into which they will have been able to put much more resources than the current one, which was designed when the team was still Lotus, and another big step on the engine. Their optimism about and expectations for next season's generation of power-unit are even higher than for the one due this summer. Mr Putin joined celebrations at the monastery of St Panteleimon to mark 1,000 years of Russian monks at Mount Athos. He was accompanied by Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church. Mount Athos is an enclave of 20 monasteries. Women have been banned for over 1,000 years. Greece and Russia are both largely Orthodox Christian countries and have close religious ties. Why are women banned from Mount Athos? The Russian leader travelled to the peninsula by boat, as there is no road access, and held talks with the Greek president. As he was welcomed at the enclave's administrative centre, Karyes, Mr Putin said he was convinced that the Russian connection to Greece as well as to the holy Mount Athos "could only get stronger". After attending a service in Karyes the Russian president travelled on to the monastery of St Panteleimon, unaccompanied by the media. It was Mr Putin's second visit to the monastery; he travelled there in 2005 as the first Russian leader to visit the site. Despite his background as a KGB officer in Communist times, when the Soviet state frowned on religion, he has embraced his Orthodox faith and is believed to have a good relationship with Patriarch Kirill. Pope and Russian patriarch edge towards warmer relations Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill walks with penguins Eurocom, in Mackworth, has designed a series of games including ones featuring James Bond, Harry Potter and the Olympic Games. A spokesman said a number of projects had fallen through forcing it to make the redundancies. The firm said it hoped to retain 50 employees and restructure the business. A statement from the firm said it regretted having to lay off "very experienced, talented and highly skilled employees". Founded in 1988, the company has developed dozens of computer and video games for most major platforms, including games based on Pirates of the Caribbean and Batman Begins. The firm said it would now concentrate on developing games for mobile phones. The DUP leader said "things are going in the right direction" and he was hopeful of a deal this week. Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness of Sinn Féin said "great progress" had been made by the parties. He said if the British and Irish governments applied the same urgency, a deal was achievable this week. "It's still deal on, but there's more work to be done, and a lot of that work is between the parties and the governments," said Mr McGuinness. Northern Ireland's five biggest parties have been in negotiations for the last nine weeks about the budget and welfare reform, as well as past and present paramilitary activity. Mr McGuinness said negotiations had advanced to the stage where "if the governments move as speedily as we have done, all of this could move very quickly". Mr Robinson said they wanted to "get the widest possible support" for any deal. "The core of that agreement, the substance, has already been agreed in dialogue terms between Sinn Féin and the DUP," he said. "We have to then put it into text form in a way that can get the support of the other participating parties - because two of the three other parties, I think, do want to get an agreement they can sign up to - and the two governments." However, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said she was not certain that a deal could be reached in the next few days, and was "reluctant" to make a prediction. She said there was still no resolution on implementing welfare reform, while legacy issues "also continue to be very sensitive". "I think it's increasingly urgent that we get these things settled - of course, I'd like to see them settled this week and I will be working very hard to achieve that," she said. Ms Villiers repeated that the government would not fund a more generous system for welfare in Northern Ireland than elsewhere. She said this would apply to any top-up scheme that the Northern Ireland Executive might want to introduce to address the needs of anyone adversely impacted by cuts to tax credits. Earlier, Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt expressed concern that any deal would be financed by £0.5bn of extra borrowing powers for Stormont. Mr Nesbitt said this would amount to "mortgaging the future of the children of Northern Ireland". However, Mr Robinson said the Ulster Unionist leader did "not have a clue what he was talking about". The DUP leader said the Ulster Unionists were in "wrecking mode, sitting around like vultures waiting for something to pick at". The current 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. The Northern Ireland parties had agreed on a welfare reform deal in December but Sinn Féin withdrew its support in March. Australian researchers are investigating whether the scent of a natural predator can help repel millions of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) from corals on the Great Barrier Reef. Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) are native to reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, but are one of the largest threats to corals outside of cyclones. These animals, which are covered in hundreds of venomous spikes, feed on the flesh of corals until all that's left is a calcium carbonate skeleton. Between 1985 and 2012, they were responsible for 42% of all lost coral cover in Australia. What makes the starfish so devastating is that they are prone to population explosions. "It's a species a bit like locusts," says Dr Mike Hall, a marine biologist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. "They're always around somewhere at low numbers, but every now and then there are large outbreaks." An outbreak in 2015 resulted in an estimated 7 million COTS living and feeding on corals throughout the Great Barrier Reef. Just one animal can eat about 10sqm (110sq feet) of coral in a year, and this tissue never grows back, Dr Hall says. At present, the best way to manage these outbreaks is by killing individual starfish one-by-one with lethal injections, which are administered by divers. "On small local scales, this can protect reefs of high eco-tourism value," Dr Hall says. "But trying to do it on a whole Great Barrier Reef scale - it would be like a military campaign. You'd have to put a lot more soldiers out there on the reefs, injecting away." It's simply too costly. But with more outbreaks likely in future, and corals under increasing stress from climate change and bleaching events, better management strategies are needed. Hall's outside-the-box solution is to use the Pacific triton (Charonia tritonis), a large sea snail known for its beautifully coloured shell. The Pacific triton is one of the only natural predators of COTS. Native to the same habitats in the Indo-Pacific region, this giant snail is adept at devouring the starfish, toxic spikes included. But Dr Hall's not interested in their appetite. Instead, he wants to harness the chemical scent these snails send out into the marine environment to manipulate the behaviour of COTS. His team has already demonstrated that COTS can detect the presence of a triton: "They rapidly try to get out of the way and go into hiding to avoid being eaten," he says. This video shows how the normally slow-moving COTS react to the fear-inducing chemical scent released by its natural predator. "In a terrestrial environment, a farmer might use a scarecrow," Dr Hall says. "In the marine environment, the same thing works by smell." He's hoping to trick the COTS into fleeing their coral settlements. Pacific tritons could be farmed and released onto reefs like "Swat teams" to drive an exodus of COTS, Dr Hall says. As they are slow-moving and colourful, they could later be collected and re-deployed elsewhere. This might avoid the collateral damage of leaving the snails there permanently to eat other organisms, such as sea cucumbers. Dr Hall's ultimate goal, however, is to identify, isolate and synthesise the fear-inducing chemical compound that's released by the triton in order to develop slow-dissolving capsules. The scent would linger and create the illusion of tritons being present on the reef. Although these solutions wouldn't kill the starfish, Hall believes they could disrupt their breeding habits enough to "potentially break the outbreak cycle". "They would be in panicked, alarmed state rather than concentrating on being close to each other and spawning," he says. His team is also trying to understand the chemical signals released by the COTS themselves, including one that apparently causes the animals to cluster together. If this scent could be manufactured, Hall says it could be used to force them into one location, where they could more easily be culled or collected in a trap. Dr Jon Brodie, chief research scientist at the Centre for Tropical Water and Aquatic Ecosystems Research at James Cook University, says we need a new management strategy for controlling the coral-destroying starfish. "Manually killing tens of thousands of crown-of-thorns starfish each year simply can't have an effect on an entire population of up to 10 million." Dr Brodie says it's "highly unlikely" that the chemical scent of tritons will be an effective deterrent for COTS but he says all options should be considered: "I think it's a far-fetched solution, but times are desperate for the Great Barrier Reef," he says. "It's in terrible shape." "I'm not against spending more money to investigate the option because it might just work." Dr Brodie says there also needs to be more focus on managing water quality, including nutrient runoff from farms, which is believed to cause COTS outbreaks. The Foxes wrapped up victory, their first in the opening match of a season since 2012, shortly after lunch on the final day in Cardiff. Paul Horton (64 not out) made his second half-century of the match, while Angus Robson was unbeaten on 49. Earlier, Glamorgan added 19 runs for their last two wickets as they were all out for 191, Ben Raine taking 4-57. Glamorgan head coach Robert Croft told BBC Wales Sport: "It was quite clear we were below the standard we set ourselves in pretty much every department. "We pride ourselves in our strengths of accuracy, resilience and consistency. With the performance that was below the standard we set, to still have opportunities to win the game does give you hope. "It's one game gone, it's not ideal, but whether you lose by 10 wickets or one, it's a loss. So I'm just focused on trying to turn around the standards that we set." Leicestershire's elite performance director Andrew McDonald: "It was a very professional performance and we were pretty clinical in the way we got the job done. Being none down in the chase was exceptional. "I think there were great contributions from every player - batting, bowling and fielding. The bowlers thought they had been a bit sloppy in Glamorgan's first innings, so to come back the way they did in the second innings to bowl them out for 200 was outstanding. "But it was important the batters had given them the opportunity to rest, to put their feet up. Over four days it's a war of attrition, and to have your bowlers fresh again is always critical." The authority is trying to cut its annual spend on such centres from £10m to £7m. Those earmarked for closure are in Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough and Bugbrooke. A six week public consultation on the closures is open online with a decision expected in May. County council deputy leader and cabinet member for children's services Councillor Heather Smith said the proposals had been devised in consultation with "our providers, Action for Children, Spurgeons and the Corby Children's Centre Consortium". "Reduced funding from central government and unprecedented demand for public services means the county council will have to make £65m savings in the coming financial year, including a £3m reduction in children's centre services." Those listed for closure are at Wootton, Headlands and Parklands in Northampton: the Ronald Tree centre and Thornton Centre in Kettering; the Croyland and Oakway centres in Wellingborough, and the centre in Bugbrooke. It overruled an order made in March by the High Court in Uttarakhand state, which said that the two rivers had the same legal status as human beings. The move was seen as a measure to increase protection for the rivers, which are deeply venerated in India but are heavily polluted. But Uttarakhand's state government took the issue to the Supreme Court. It argued that the declaration was legally unsustainable. The river Ganges - worshipped in Hinduism as "Ganga Mata" or mother - is a lifeline to more than 500 million people across India. It and its tributary the Yamuna are two of the country's major rivers. BBC South Asia Editor Jill McGivering says they are central to Indian life and much celebrated in Indian culture, even worshipped as deities. But both are heavily polluted by industrial waste, by sewage and even by the remains of the many bodies cremated on their banks. There are laws to stop pollution but critics say they are inadequate and poorly enforced. So the landmark judgement in March to give the rivers the same legal status as people was an attempt to improve all this. The argument was that it made actions to pollute or damage the rivers legally comparable to assault or even murder. The declaration attracted a lot of publicity. But the state government of Uttarakhand, where the Ganges originates, argued that the ruling simply was not practical and could lead to complicated legal situations, even claims against the rivers in cases of flooding or drowning. They took those objections to the Supreme Court, which agreed and has now overturned the earlier ruling. However, correspondent says the key question remains unanswered - how best to clean up two of India's most important rivers and keep them clean. The bill, passed by 320 to 129, also permits strikes against Syrian targets. But Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay insisted this was a deterrent and not a mandate for war. Turkey has been firing at targets inside Syria since Wednesday's shelling of the town of Akcakale, which killed two women and three children. Ankara's military response marks the first time it has fired into Syria during the 18-month-long unrest there. Syria's UN envoy said two Syrian army officials were injured in the retaliatory shelling. The Turkish parliament passed the bill in a closed-doors emergency session. By Cagil KasapogluBBC Turkish Parliament approved cross-border military action against Syria with an overwhelming majority. But the vote also showed that a considerable number of MPs (more than 50) from the Yes camp, which consists of the ruling party AKP and the smaller nationalist party MHP, decided to stay away. Because the meeting was a closed session, it won't be possible to determine exactly how many defections they were from each party. But sources in Ankara say that dozens of AKP MPs did not attend the session or, if they did, they didn't vote. The main opposition CHP party and the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) voted against. Government sources stress that the motion is meant as "deterrence" against Damascus and that Turkey is not keen on a "unilateral military operation". This will come as a relief to the international community as well as a considerable segment of its own citizens. It permits military action, if required by the government, for the period of one year. However, Mr Atalay insisted the priority was to act in co-ordination with international bodies. He told Turkish television: "This mandate is not a war mandate but it is in our hands to be used when need be in order to protect Turkey's own interests." He said Syria had accepted responsibility for the deaths. "The Syrian side has admitted what it did and apologised," Mr Atalay said. Zeliha Timucin, her three daughters and her sister died in Akcakale when a shell fell in their courtyard as they prepared the evening meal. They were buried in a local cemetery on Thursday. Turkey had called for the UN Security Council to meet and take "necessary action" to stop Syrian "aggression". However, Mr Atalay said that UN and Syrian representatives had spoken on Wednesday evening. He said: "Syria... said nothing like this will happen again. That's good. The UN mediated and spoke to Syria." UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was "alarmed by escalating tensions along the Syrian-Turkish border", according to his spokesman, Martin Nesirky, and has called for "maximum restraint". "As the situation inside Syria deteriorates yet further... the risks of regional conflict and the threat to international peace and security are also increasing," Mr Nesirky said. The UN Security Council drafted a resolution on Thursday condemning the Syrian shelling "in the strongest terms", calling it a "violation of international law". Sources: Turkish Statistical Institute, Sanliurfa Municipality Strikes in Syria: Turks react In pictures: Turkey-Syria tension Turkish media fear consequences of war However, Russia, Syria's main ally, has blocked the text and instead proposed one that does not refer to international law, and which calls on all parties to "exercise restraint". Syria's UN envoy, Bashar Ja'afari, said his country had offered deepest condolences over the deaths, but not an apology, because an investigation into the incident had not been completed. Nato has held an urgent meeting to support Turkey, demanding "the immediate cessation of such aggressive acts against an ally". The US, the UK, France and the European Union have already condemned Syria's actions. The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says neither Turkey nor Syria wants this to develop into a war. He says there is no appetite in Nato or the West for military conflict and that it is noticeable how conciliatory Syria has been since the news of the shelling broke. Many social media users in Turkey have been reacting strongly against the possibility of war with Syria. Hashtags such as #notowar drew a lot of attention. One user, coymak, tweeted: "There is no victory in war, only victory is the happiness in the eye of the children when it is ended!" There were many tweets referring to the call for an anti-war rally in central Istanbul on Thursday evening. Reports later said many hundreds of people had gathered in the city's Taksim Square. In Syria itself as many as 21 members of Syria's elite Republican Guards have been killed in an explosion and firefight in the Qudsaya district of Damascus, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) told the BBC. The SOHR is one of the most prominent organisations documenting and reporting incidents and casualties in the Syrian conflict. The group says its reports are impartial, though its information cannot be independently verified. In the latest salvo in the war of words between Sir Philip and Frank Field, the tycoon said the MP had tried to create a "false narrative". He said he had not broken any rules and there was "no legal liability" for him to fill a £571m pension deficit. But Sir Philip added progress was being made in addressing the black hole. In a letter to Mr Field, the chairman of the Work and Pensions Select Committee, Sir Philip said the process and timetable for solving the issue had been set by the Pensions Regulator and was "cumbersome and slow". He added: "If you continue to seek to usurp the Pension Regulator's role with your characteristically unfathomable statements and hurl daily abuse at us, any failure to arrive at a pensions solution will be down to you." On Monday, a joint report from the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee and the Work and Pensions Committee suggested Sir Philip, who ran BHS between 2000 and 2015, had extracted large sums from the company and left it on "life support". The report said his failure to resolve BHS's pension deficit was a major factor in its demise and Labour MP Mr Field has used several media interviews since then to say Sir Philip should "write a cheque". Further comments in a radio interview prompted lawyers for Sir Philip to say Mr Field had made a "highly defamatory and completely false" statement and demand an apology. In his letter, Sir Philip said he had tried to stay silent and focus on working towards a solution for the BHS pensioners but was "not prepared to continue to allow your abuse to go unanswered". Sir Philip said: "Even before the parliamentary inquiry started hearing from witnesses, you turned it into little more than a kangaroo court, with your constant press campaign barracking and insulting me and my family and your announcement from day one that the predetermined result of the inquiry was that I either sign a large cheque or lose my knighthood." He added: "Your repeated attempts to lead the public into thinking that it is simply a matter of me writing a cheque are utterly disingenuous." BHS is in the process of closing down, after decades as a mainstay of British high streets, after what the MPs' report called the "shambolic" ownership of Dominic Chappell, who bought the retail chain from Sir Philip for £1 last year. Winger Barry Daly and fly-half Joey Carbery scored two tries each for the victors, who have reaped 19 points from their last four Pro12 matches. Flanker Dan Leavy and hooker Bryan Byrne got further tries for Leinster. Fly-half Duncan Weir scored all of Edinburgh's points, including a well-taken 70th-minute try. Munster can reclaim top spot on Saturday when they play Ospreys. Leinster, losing finalists to Connacht last season, got an early touchdown after a fine break by flanker Leavy, on as an early replacement for Josh van der Flier. When the ball was recycled, Leinster had the numbers out on the left and Daly managed to just get in at the corner. Edinburgh were having a lot of the possession without making it count on the scoreboard and they fell further behind when fly-half Carbery, who had been short with his conversion attempt, slotted over a straightforward penalty. Weir quickly replied with a penalty for the visitors, who finished the first half strongly. They could have been level but for a costly drop by Tom Brown in the last move of the half. The winger just had to collect a brilliant, swooping pass from Chris Dean to be in, but somehow failed to gather. As the half-time whistle blew, a dejected Brown, who had earlier taken a knock, was consoled by team-mates and Leinster enjoyed an 8-3 interval advantage. Leinster, unbeaten since Boxing Day, went further ahead as 21-year-old Carbery scored two tries early in the second half. The Auckland-born fly-half, in his first start since December following ankle surgery, wriggled over from close range in the 48th minute after the home forwards had been held up several times just short of the line. Then, on 53 minutes, turnover ball saw Leinster break from deep in their own half with Carbery finishing it off and Ross Byrne converting for 20-3. Leinster, Pro12 winners in 2013 and 2014, clinched the bonus point when winger Daly ran through to score his second try of the evening. Leavy then got on the end of a drive to get the hosts' fifth try. Weir grabbed Edinburgh's sole touchdown but Bryan Byrne had the last word with a try which Ross Byrne converted for a 39-10 winning margin. While interim head coach Duncan Hodge has steered Edinburgh to a home European Challenge Cup quarter-final, this was his eighth defeat from 11 Pro12 fixtures since succeeding Alan Solomons in September. The money, sent on behalf of South Africa, was meant to be used for its Caribbean diaspora legacy programme. But documents suggest Mr Warner used the payment for cash withdrawals, personal loans and to launder money. The 72-year-old, who has been indicted by the US FBI for corruption, denies all claims of wrongdoing. Fifa says it is co-operating with the investigation. And South Africa's Football Association has issued a detailed statement denying any wrongdoing. The papers seen by the BBC detail three wire transfers by Fifa. In the three transactions - on 4 January, 1 February and 10 March 2008 - funds totalling $10m (£6.5m) from Fifa accounts were received into Concacaf accounts controlled by Jack Warner. At the time, he was in charge of the body, which governs football in North and Central America and the Caribbean. The money had been promised by South Africa's Football Association for its so-called diaspora legacy programme to develop football in the Caribbean. The documents reveal how the money was spent and moved around. JTA Supermarkets, a large chain in Trinidad, received $4,860,000 from the accounts. The money was paid in instalments from January 2008 to March 2009. The largest payment was $1,350,000 paid in February 2008. US prosecutors say the money was mostly paid back to Mr Warner in local currency. Jack Warner: The US charge sheet Key questions answered Jack Warner: Controversial ex-Fifa chief Who are the indicted officials? Fifa in crisis - Special Reports The BBC gave details of its investigation to Brent Sancho, Trinidad and Tobago's sports minister and a former footballer. He said: "He [Mr Warner] must face justice, he must answer all of these questions. Justice has to be served. "He will have to account, with this investigation, he will have to answer for his actions." The documents also show $360,000 of the Fifa money was withdrawn by people connected to Mr Warner. Nearly $1.6m was used to pay the former Fifa vice-president's credit cards and personal loans. The documents show the largest personal loan Mr Warner provided for himself was $410,000. The largest credit card payment was $87,000. Mr Sancho says he is now angry and disappointed. "I'm devastated because a lot of that money should have been back in football, back in the development of children playing the sport. "It is a travesty. Mr Warner should answer the questions," he added. Jack Warner is one of 14 people charged by US prosecutors over alleged corruption at Fifa. The US Justice department alleges the 14 accepted bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m (£97m) over a 24-year period. Mr Warner denies all charges of corruption. He resigned from Fifa's executive committee and all other football commitments in 2011 amid allegations he had bribed his Caribbean associates. He later stepped down as Trinidad and Tobago's security minister amid a fraud inquiry. A key figure in the deepening scandal, in a recent statement he said he had given lawyers documents outlining the links between Fifa, its funding, himself and the 2010 election in Trinidad and Tobago. He said the transactions also included Mr Blatter. "I will no longer keep secrets for them who actively seek to destroy the country," he said in an address on Trinidadian TV last week entitled "The gloves are off". Speaking to his supporters at a rally later the same day, he promised an "avalanche" of revelations to come. Mr Warner, who faces extradition to the US, was released on bail after handing himself in to police in the Trinidad and Tobago capital Port of Spain last week. He says he is an innocent scapegoat who will soon reveal the truth of what happened inside Fifa. The announcement of the FBI charges in late May has driven Fifa into its greatest crisis; last week its president, Sepp Blatter announced he was stepping down, only days after being re-elected to a fifth term. Additional reporting by Ashley Semler and Peter Murtaugh. Ian Paisley and Bob McCartney were anti-agreement. U2, Ash, David Trimble, John Hume and a host of others were pro-agreement. In 2015 it's more complex. If we were to hold a referendum on the Stormont House Agreement we would have to include boxes for people to tick labelled yes, no, fair wind, qualified support and implement but don't like. It's inevitable, given that most deals are struck between the key players, that the other parties seem relatively happy to let the DUP and Sinn Féin do the heavy lifting. By remaining semi-detached, the UUP and the SDLP give themselves more room for manoeuvre when the Welfare Reform Bill comes to the assembly chamber. Despite unionist concern over the NIO decision to drop the north Belfast parading panel, the DUP isn't giving any indication it will back off on the main tenets of the Stormont House deal. Despite assertions that they caved in over welfare reform, Sinn Féin is showing no sign of having second thoughts. The notion that the corporation tax element of the agreement might be jeopardised raised its head in the Commons this week. But Labour blew cold for a day, before blowing just lukewarm enough to apparently guarantee that the bill enabling businesses taxes to be devolved will become law. Peter Robinson has a point when he objects to commentators redefining all the dates in the Stormont House Agreement as trip wires that might snag the negotiators. The first minister argues the naysayers would have had a field day if there had been no deal, and are now overly keen to probe any weaknesses in the agreement that did emerge. So with Stormont about to elect its first Sinn Féin speaker, it's reasonable to acknowledge that the institutions appear to be in a far more stable state in January 2015 than they were when Mr Robinson made his "not fit for purpose" comments back in September 2014. However, the on again, off again speaker saga also illustrates another truth - that deals concluded between parties can be unpicked if the politicians fall out over subsequent developments. The calendar for new legislation and new quangos envisaged in the Stormont House agreement may roll out smoothly between now and 2021. If there was a referendum, I think I'd tick the "events, dear boy, events" box. Asda, Sainsbury's and Waitrose issued alerts, covering products including pitta breads, pizza bases and pancakes. Genius, the specialist food company, has also recalled some of its gluten-free range. But it said the risk to consumers was very low according to the industry standard. In a post on its website, Asda said customers who had bought gluten-free pizza bases, garlic and coriander naan breads or white pitta breads with certain best before codes should return them for a refund. "We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused and will ensure this doesn't happen again", it added. The Sainsbury's alert applies to pizza bases, multiseeded and white pitta breads, sultana scones, garlic and coriander naan breads and syrup pancakes with certain best before dates. Asda Sainsbury's Waitrose The supermarket wrote: "As a precautionary measure, we are asking all customers who have bought these products to return them to their nearest Sainsbury's store, where they will receive a full refund. "No other Sainsbury's products are affected by this issue, and we apologise for the inconvenience this may cause." Waitrose said customers should return its own-brand gluten-free pancakes, pitta and scones with certain best before dates for a refund. It said: "Any customers who have a reaction to gluten should not consume these products". Genius said those allergic or intolerant to gluten should not consume its crumpets, Livwell Garlic Naan or Livwell Gluten Free Crumpets. The company said the affected products had tested between 5-80 parts per million, the measurement used to test the amount of gluten in food. Products which test between 21ppm and 100ppm are considered "very low risk, although not officially gluten free", it said. It added: "If you are Coeliac or suffer from a wheat/gluten allergy and are showing signs of being unwell or a family member is showing signs of being unwell, please contact your local doctor for immediate advice. "If you do not have Coeliac Disease or an allergy to wheat/gluten these products are safe for consumption." The guide said the isles had seven large puffin colonies, with the island of Foula offering the "most scenic" views of the seabirds. But time could be running out to see the Atlantic puffins. They are among four UK bird species now at risk of extinction, according to a global conservation database. Atlantic puffins, European turtle doves, Slavonian grebes and pochards are on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's updated Red List of Threatened Species for birds. Shetland is the only UK entry on the National Geographic list. The others include Hawaii for seeing humpback whales and Madagascar for watching lemurs. The review is set to call for a new category of worker called a "dependent contractor". Those workers - likely to cover riders for firms like Deliveroo and Uber - should receive benefits such as sick pay and holiday leave, it will say. And they will be covered by some of the minimum wage requirements. This will help clear up the present grey area between a fully employed and a self-employed person - presently called a "worker" in employment law. The review by Matthew Taylor, the head of the Royal Society of Arts and a former Tony Blair adviser, will outline a structure obliging firms to show that a person working for them can earn at least 1.2 times the present national living wage of £7.50 an hour for over-25s. The companies will do that by modelling the number of tasks - or "gigs" - an average person working at an average rate can achieve. An estimated 1.1 million people work in the gig economy. I understand the review, due to be published on Tuesday, has looked at the agriculture sector where "piece work" calculations - how much a crop picker can pick in an hour, for example - work in a similar way. The review has seen evidence that hourly rates in the sector are set at 1.2 times the national minimum wage. The review will call for the new "dependent contractor" payment system to be overseen by the Low Pay Commission, the official body which sets the minimum wage. The review of the new world of work - set up by Theresa May before the last election - has also looked positively at models where gig workers can log on at any time and see "real time" earnings potential. If the company can only offer enough work to earn, say, £5 an hour, because it is a quiet period, then it is up to the gig worker whether they accept that rate. They would not subsequently be able to take action against the gig company for not paying the minimum wage, the review will suggest. Sources have told me that Mr Taylor and his review panel have been impressed by how many gig firms have transformed the economy both for workers and for consumers. But Mr Taylor wants to ensure that the relationship between the worker and the digital platform firm is a fair one, offering "two-way flexibility" so that workers receive benefits while at the same time retaining the ability to work when they want. Firms like Uber, Deliveroo and CitySprint at present insist that their drivers and riders are self-employed and therefore can work when they want. In return for that flexibility, the workers do not receive the same benefits as full-time employees, such as the guaranteed minimum wage, sick pay, holiday entitlement and pension provision. The companies also avoid paying national insurance contributions for the people who work for them. They have been criticised for exploiting the law on "self-employment" to keep costs down. Though firms like Deliveroo point out that their riders earn on average between £9.50 and £10 an hour - well above the minimum wage. Critics say their model also undermines the government's tax base as self-employed people pay lower taxes than the fully employed. A report by the Trades Union Congress suggested that the Treasury could be losing up to £4bn a year in revenue due to the rapid growth of "insecure" work. Last week Will Shu, the founder and chief executive of Deliveroo, told me he wanted to offer a wider range of benefits to delivery riders but believed that he was constrained by present-day employment law, which he described as "out of date". In the BBC interview, Mr Shu said the company would consider paying holiday and pension rights as well as sickness and injury benefits if the law changed. Sources say that Mr Taylor's report will not name firms but will recognise that the gig economy has raised challenges for the way employment law works. Uber and the courier firm CitySprint have lost court cases over whether their drivers are truly self-employed or are in fact "workers" who are employed largely by one firm, and therefore should receive more rights. Turning down work is often not seen as an option by riders and drivers. It is this category which will become "dependent contractors" if the review's recommendations are implemented. It could also mean gig firms are obliged to pay national insurance contributions, which they avoid at the moment. The report goes far wider than the "gig" economy, and also looks at the quality of work on offer. In an earlier interview with me, Mr Taylor said that the UK had been very good at creating a large number of jobs - which was an economic good - and that now the question was how to make those jobs of a high, and rewarding, quality. The report will say that the quality of work and enhancing skills should be at the heart of the debate on employment in the UK. Controversies such as the overuse of zero-hours contracts, for example, also have to be tackled, it will say. But it will not back Labour's policy of banning zero-hours contracts, saying they are useful for some forms of work where demand fluctuates rapidly, such as organising conferences or in the retail sector.

After a lifeless first 45 minutes, Elgin took control when Craig Gunn rifled a spot-kick home into the bottom-left corner. Brian Cameron put the result beyond doubt with a late goal three minutes from time. East Stirlingshire - who mustered just one shot on target - remain bottom and are now five points behind Berwick. The political activist, who is serving an 11 year term on subversion charges for calling for greater democracy, has been moved to hospital after being diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. His wife Liu Xia, who is under house arrest, says it is beyond treatment. The US has called on China to give the couple "genuine freedom". "We call on the Chinese authorities to not only release Mr Liu but also to allow his wife Ms Liu Xia out of house arrest," US embassy spokeswoman Mary Beth Polley said. Some American politicians have also called on China to allow the dissident, a key leader in the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, to travel overseas for medical help. But Chinese foreign spokesman Lu Kang criticised the calls, saying: "China is a country with rule of law. Everyone is equal before the law. All other countries should respect China's judicial independence and sovereignty and should not use any so-called individual case to interfere in China's internal affairs." Mr Liu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010, with the Nobel committee describing the jailed dissident as "the foremost symbol" of the human rights struggle in China. He was not allowed to collect his prize and was represented at the awards ceremony by an empty chair. The Chinese government, which regards him as a criminal, was infuriated by the award. Following the award, Mrs Liu was placed under house arrest, although she was never charged with a crime. The Chinese authorities have never explained why they restricted her movements. According to friends, Mrs Liu has been allowed to visit her husband, who is being treated in hospital in northern Liaoning Province after being diagnosed a month ago. The Nobel laureate was diagnosed with cancer on 23 May, lawyer Mo Shaoping told the South China Morning Post. He was released days later and is now being treated in the northern city of Shenyang. "He has no special plans. He is just receiving medical treatment for his illness," Mr Mo told AFP news agency. But speaking in a video which was shared online this week, a tearful Mrs Liu said: "[They] cannot perform surgery, cannot perform radiotherapy, cannot perform chemotherapy." A statement from the government in Liaoning said Mr Liu had been released on medical parole and was being treated by eight tumour experts. Mr Liu has three years left to serve of an 11-year sentence for "inciting subversion" after drafting Charter 08 - which called for multi-party democracy and respect for human rights in China. Amnesty International said he should never have been jailed. It urged China to ensure he received "adequate medical care, effective access to his family and that he and all others imprisoned solely for exercising their human rights are immediately and unconditionally released". Following his Nobel award, China froze diplomatic ties with Norway - relations were normalised only last December. Lloyd, 23, came through Vale's academy but made just 18 appearances in all competitions and was released in May.

Officers sent to the scene at Leighton Court in Turners Hill, Cheshunt, found the woman dead and the man with a knife wound. They were dispatched at 13:05 GMT after receiving reports of a disturbance. The man died shortly afterwards from his injuries. The woman is also thought to have been fatally stabbed, a police spokesman said. The force added they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) said everyone had to "step up" to ensure the "golden opportunity" was not missed in Wales. Firms are preparing to bid for work on the £1.3bn project, which could involve 2,000 jobs. One company boss urged a commitment to more big infrastructure projects. An independent review into tidal lagoons on Thursday recommended Swansea Bay's energy project should go ahead, with the prospect of larger lagoons in future. A final decision now rests with the UK Government. Helen Kane, chair of the RICS board in Wales, said everyone was working flat out to ensure Wales could meet the potential but support needed to be consistent and funding in place to attract people into 17 trades in surveying and construction. "It is very feasible we can provide the skills in Wales to boost the economy but we need to work together and start now," she told BBC Wales. Ms Kane said the HS2 rail project and Hinkley Point would provide competition, with south Wales workers only this week classified as "local" for the purposes of the nuclear power station project on the Somerset coast. "In all honesty, we're not geared up at the moment [for the lagoon], we've been preparing for it - this is a superb opportunity and we're asking Welsh and UK governments to work together with education and employers so we know where we're going and that we can provided the right skills." Ian Hoppe, managing director of Braithwaite Structural in Baglan said the lagoon was fantastic news for heavy engineering especially and industry in south Wales was ready to embrace it. "It's something we'd dearly love to be involved with and it's the type of work suited to our operation," he said. "There are quite a lot of components around the turbines which would be of interest to us." Mr Hoppe said currently there was an older age profile in engineering and his firm did not actually have a skills shortage, with a waiting list of people looking to work. "The industry has had a very difficult period last five to seven years so there are a lot of skilled and well qualified people waiting to find jobs." But he said there needed to be more infrastructure projects - to generate a demand for skills - which would then lead a new influx of the next generation of engineers. "There definitely needs to be an emphasis on the projects to create the capacity requirement to bring training up to fulfil that." If more tidal lagoons go ahead there would be even more demand for skilled workers. It is thought the lagoon in Swansea could support more than 2,000 jobs and company behind it wants to build lagoons in Cardiff, Newport and Colwyn bay - which is forecast to bring up to 6,500 jobs. At Neath College they are training students from the age of 16 and there is a confidence among them that there will be jobs out there. Whereas engineering was perhaps once seen as a contracting industry, that is no longer the case. James Llewellyn, a lecturer involved with engineering courses, said: "There are more, keen students now pushing forward in engineering because there are massive jobs, globally now and with manufacturing. It's on the rise." Captain Surgeon Graeme Nicholson told an inquest that official guidelines he authored "should have been followed". L/Cpl Craig Roberts, 24, of Conwy county, L/Cpl Edward Maher and Cpl James Dunsby died after attempting a 16-mile march in the Brecon Beacons on one of the hottest days of 2013. He said assessors should have been aware of environmental conditions. Dr Nicholson wrote the Army's guidance document on climatic illness and injury. He told the inquest in Solihull, West Midlands, that this was "the standing guidance" and should have been followed by soldier 1A and 1B, who were in charge that day. This document was primarily used outside the UK in hot conditions, he said. Coroner Louise Hunt asked how he felt about many witnesses not having any knowledge of the guidance. "Frustration is the honest statement," he replied. Keith Morton QC, representing Cpl Dunsby's father, asked: "It's completely unacceptable isn't it that those on the ground were ignorant to it?" Dr Nicholson said: "That again I would refer back to their chain of command… I do not feel from a personal point of view that it was appropriate." The inquest continues. The 30-year-old former Ospreys, Bath and Northampton Saints player has made two appearances for Bristol in the top flight this season. "It is really unfortunate for Martin," Robinson told BBC Radio Bristol. Roberts could miss as many as 12 Premiership, European Challenge Cup and domestic cup games. Meanwhile, Robinson said the club are still waiting for news on how long versatile back Gavin Henson will be sidelined for. Henson, 34, has not played since having to be withdrawn during Bristol's opening game of the season on 3 September, following a collision with Harlequins' Joe Marler. "Gavin has got a bruising of the bone and it's very difficult to treat," Robinson explained. "So we're waiting still. "It's frustration for everybody involved, but most importantly for him, because he wants to get out there and show everybody what he can do. "When he's unable to do that because of injury, it's disappointing for him." Family Group was sold for £353,000, The Black Church - a 50th birthday gift from her husband Bobby - fetched £245,000 and The Spire £100,000. They were sold as part of a wider auction of modern and post-war British art. The 72-year-old Liverpool-born star died in Spain in August after a 50-year career in entertainment. Family Group, which was painted in 1939, was described by Sotheby's as representing "a life she would have known growing up in Liverpool". The Spire, which dates from 1949 is rated as a "typical Lowry". According to the singer's family, the Black Church as a pun on her stage name, which she changed from Priscilla White. In a speech on Sunday, following the terrorist attack in London, she said the internet provided a "safe space" for extremist ideology to breed. But technology companies and cyber-security experts have warned that tighter regulation of the internet will not solve this problem. Messages sent online can be scrambled as they leave one device and they remain scrambled until they are deciphered by the recipient's device. This is end-to-end encryption, and it stops messages being read by third parties - be it criminals or law enforcement - if they are intercepted. This adds valuable security to the messages we send online, which could contain private information, bank details and personal photographs. Some apps such as WhatsApp already add end-to-end encryption to messages automatically. However, this does mean that theoretically messages can be sent that police or other authorities cannot read if they intercept them. On Sunday, Mrs May said there should be no messages that law enforcement "cannot read", while Home Secretary Amber Rudd said she wanted tech companies to "limit the use of end-to-end encryption". Critics say disabling encryption in popular apps will not deter criminals - they could simply switch from one app to another, or create their own messaging apps. Meanwhile, messages sent by law-abiding citizens would become "easy for criminals, voyeurs and foreign spies to intercept", journalist and former digital rights activist Cory Doctorow wrote in a blog. Cyber-security experts are particularly critical of the notion that messaging apps should have a "back door" in their systems, to let authorities read users' messages. "It's impossible to overstate how bonkers the idea of sabotaging cryptography is to people who understand information security," said Mr Doctorow. "Use deliberately compromised cryptography, that has a back door that only the 'good guys' are supposed to have the keys to, and you have effectively no security." Even if app-makers were ordered to stop using encryption, it would be very difficult to stop criminals encrypting their messages manually, or writing them in code. On Sunday, Mrs May said large internet companies provided a "safe space" for extremist ideology to breed. Earlier this year, a Home Affairs Select Committee report said social networks were "shamefully far" from tackling illegal and dangerous content and took too long to remove offending posts. The volume of material uploaded to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social networks is astonishing, making it difficult to moderate. YouTube says 400 hours worth of video are uploaded to its platform every minute, making it impossible to review every clip a user posts. The Open Rights Group, which campaigns for online freedoms, said governments and companies should "take sensible measures to stop abuse" but warned that "attempts to control the internet" would be difficult to enforce. Technology companies have defended their handling of extremist content following the London terror attack. YouTube told the BBC that it received 200,000 reports of inappropriate content a day, but managed to review 98% of them within 24 hours. It said hate speech made up a small proportion of the "tens of millions" of videos it removed every year. Facebook said: "Using a combination of technology and human review, we work aggressively to remove terrorist content from our platform as soon as we become aware of it - and if we become aware of an emergency involving imminent harm to someone's safety, we notify law enforcement." It said it actively worked to identify extremist accounts and worked with rivals Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube to help identify such content. Both Facebook and Google have stated that extremist content has no place on their websites. Germany has tried to further motivate internet giants, by threatening them with fines of up to 50m euros (£43.5m) if they fail to remove hate speech quickly. However, the Open Rights Group warned that tough regulation by governments "could push these vile networks into even darker corners of the web, where they will be even harder to observe". It comes after a BBC Freedom of Information request about the DG One facility in Dumfries. Dumfries and Galloway Council declined to reveal the information in its original reply to the request in July. After carrying out a compliance review it said it had to "reiterate its initial response". The leisure centre opened in May 2008 but suffered a string of problems which ultimately led to its complete closure in October 2014. Temporary gym facilities at the Loreburn Hall and a swimming pool at Dumfries Ice Bowl have been put in place while the centre is shut. A long-running legal wrangle between the Dumfries and Galloway Council and builders Kier Construction over the centre was settled earlier this year to allow major remedial work to begin. The total cost of repairs is just short of £10m. However, the council has refused to reveal the scale of its financial contribution to the remedial works. A review carried out this month concluded that a confidentiality agreement prohibited it from releasing any details of the settlement. It said that provided an "absolute exemption" which meant the council was not required to consider the public interest. The local authority stressed that it was aware of the public interest in the information and would have fully considered disclosing it if it was able to do so. It said that releasing any details could lead to a breach of the confidentiality agreement which might adversely affect its terms. "For that reason, disclosure is not in the public interest," said Eddie Whitefield who chaired the review panel. "Reaching a settlement rather than proceeding with the court case when no result could be absolutely guaranteed will allow remedial works to begin at the end of this summer which is very much for the public benefit." In 1894, Gillette published a book arguing that "our present system of competition" breeds "extravagance, poverty, and crime". He advocated a new system of "equality, virtue, and happiness", in which just one corporation - the United Company - would make all of life's necessities, as cost-effectively as possible. Gillette's book called for everyone in North America to live in a single city, called Metropolis. He imagined "mammoth apartment houses… upon a scale of magnificence such as no civilization has ever known", connected by artificial parks with "domes of coloured glass in beautiful designs". It would be, he said, "an endless gallery of loveliness". His idea didn't take off. But a year later, in 1895, King Camp Gillette had another brainwave that really did change the world. He invented the disposable razor blade. 50 Things That Made the Modern Economy highlights the inventions, ideas and innovations that helped create the economic world. It is broadcast on the BBC World Service. You can find more information about the programme's sources and listen online or subscribe to the programme podcast. It revolutionised more than shaving. Gillette's blade led to a business model that has become ubiquitous in the modern economy. That model is called two-part pricing. If you have ever bought replacement cartridges for an inkjet printer, you may well have been annoyed to discover they cost almost as much as you paid for the printer itself. That seems to make no sense. The printer is a reasonably large and complicated piece of technology. How can it possibly add only a negligible amount to the cost of supplying a bit of ink in tiny plastic pots? The answer, of course, is that it doesn't. But for a manufacturer, selling the printer cheaply and the ink expensively is a business model that makes sense. After all, what's the alternative? Buy a whole new printer from a rival manufacturer? As long as that is even slightly more expensive than the new ink for your current printer, you will reluctantly pay up. Two-part pricing is also known as the "razor and blades" model, because that's where it first drew attention - draw people in with an attractively priced razor, then repeatedly charge them for expensive replacement blades. Before King Camp Gillette, razors were bigger, chunkier affairs - and a significant enough expense that when the blade got dull, you would sharpen - or "strop" - it, not chuck it away and buy another. Gillette realised that if he devised a clever holder for the blade, to keep it rigid, he could make the blade much thinner - and hence much cheaper to produce. He did not immediately hit upon the two-part pricing model, though. Initially, he made both parts expensive. Gillette's razor cost $5 (£4) - about a third of the average worker's weekly wage. The Gillette razor was so eye-wateringly exorbitant that the 1913 Sears catalogue offered it with an apology that it was not legally allowed to discount the price. It also included an annoyed-sounding disclaimer: "Gillette safety razors are quoted for the accommodation of some of our customers who want this particular razor. We don't claim that this razor will give better satisfaction than the lower-priced safety razors quoted on this page." The model of cheap razors and expensive blades evolved only later, as Gillette's patents expired and competitors got in on the act. Nowadays, two-part pricing is everywhere. Consider the PlayStation 4. Every time Sony sells one, it loses money: the retail price is less than it costs to manufacture and distribute. But that is OK, because Sony makes its money whenever a PlayStation 4 owner buys a game. Or how about Nespresso? Nestle profits not from selling the machine, but the coffee pods. Obviously, for this model to work you need some way to prevent customers putting cheap, generic blades in your razor. One solution is legal: patent-protect your blades. But patents don't last forever. Patents on coffee pods have started expiring, so brands such as Nespresso now face competitors selling cheap, compatible alternatives. Some are looking for another kind of solution: technological. Just as other people's games don't work on the PlayStation, and non-branded print cartridges may not work in some printers, coffee companies have put chip readers in their machines to stop you sneakily trying to brew up a generic cup. Two-part pricing models work by imposing what economists call "switching costs". Want to brew another brand's coffee? Then buy another machine. They are especially prevalent with digital goods. If you have a huge library of games for your PlayStation, or books for your Kindle, it is a big thing to switch to another platform. Switching costs don't have to be financial. They can come in the form of time, or hassle. If I am already familiar with Adobe's Photoshop software, I might prefer to pay for an expensive upgrade rather than buy a cheaper alternative, which I would then have to learn how to use. That is why software vendors offer free trials, and why banks and utilities offer special "teaser" rates to draw people in. When they quietly raise the price, many will not bother to change. Switching costs can be psychological, too - a result of brand loyalty. If Gillette's marketing department persuades me that generic blades give an inferior shave, then I will happily keep paying extra for Gillette-branded blades. That may explain the otherwise curious fact that Gillette's profits increased after his patents expired and competitors could make compatible blades. How Ikea's Billy took over the world How economics killed the antibiotic dream How the invention of paper changed the world What makes gambling wrong but insurance right? Perhaps, by then, customers had got used to thinking of Gillette as a high-end brand, worth paying a premium for. Two-part pricing can be highly inefficient, and economists have puzzled over why consumers stand for it. The most plausible explanation is that they get confused. Either they don't realise they will be exploited later, or they do realise but find it hard to think ahead and pick out the best deal. The irony is that the razors-and-blades model - charging customers a premium for basics such as ink and coffee - is about as far as you can get from King Camp Gillette's vision of a single United Company producing life's necessities as cheaply as possible. Evidently, it's easier to inspire a new model for business than a new model for society.

The bonfire, made of wooden pallets, has been built on a grass verge at Prince Andrew Way in Carrickfergus. The NI Fire and Rescue Service said it was working with the local community "to provide safety advice in relation to the Castlemara bonfire". The bonfire, estimated to be about 50ft (15m) tall, is roughly twice the height of a two-storey house. Bonfires are traditionally lit in loyalist areas of Northern Ireland on the eve of the annual 12 July celebrations marking King William III's victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. The council-led Mid and East Antrim Bonfire Liaison Group has also been involved in talks about the bonfire, concerns about which were first reported by the Irish News. Assistant Chief Fire Officer Alan Walmsley advised bonfire builders to keep the structures "at a manageable size and sited in a clear, open space at a safe distance from buildings and overhead cables". "A bonfire should be a minimum distance of five times its height from property," he said. "It should not contain any potentially hazardous materials or tyres and never use flammable liquids such as petrol or paraffin as these can produce explosive vapours." Ch Insp Stephen Humphries said the police would work closely with partner agencies and local communities to address concerns linked to bonfires. "Constructive dialogue and engagement involving the community, politicians, public bodies and police is the approach most likely to result in workable solutions on bonfire issues," he said. "The physical removal of bonfire material is not a matter for police, however we will assist other statutory bodies to carry out their duties subject to the prevailing circumstances." It will also consider the technical aspects of the vehicle itself and whether it was appropriate for it to take the route it did. Six people died and 10 more were injured when the council bin lorry crashed into pedestrians in Glasgow city centre on 22 December. The inquiry is due to start on 22 July. A preliminary hearing for the inquiry, which is expected to last four weeks, was held at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday. Scotland's second most senior law officer, Solicitor General Lesley Thomson QC, who will lead the inquiry, said the FAI will cover three main areas. Ms Thomson said: "The issues fall into three categories which are firstly around the driver of the vehicle, his medical background, his fitness to hold the licence, his employment record and training. "Secondly the vehicle itself and the technical aspects, if there could have been any measures or interventions to have brought that vehicle to a controlled stop. "And thirdly the safety of the refuse collection route taken by the motor vehicle. In relation to that I would intend to explore not just the route but the time of week and the time of year and assess the appropriateness of that route at that time of year." Erin McQuade, 18, her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and his 69-year-old wife Lorraine, all from Dumbarton, died in the incident in the city's Queen Street and George Square. Stephenie Tait, 29, and Jacqueline Morton, 51, both from Glasgow, and Gillian Ewing, 52, from Edinburgh, were also killed when the truck mounted the pavement before crashing into the side of the Millennium Hotel. Lawyers for the families of the victims, the driver, the DVLA and Glasgow City Council were present at the preliminary hearing. The Crown said it was ready to proceed with the inquiry. The other parties said they would need to see productions and reports before they could advise whether they were ready. Another preliminary court hearing is scheduled to take place on 18 May. Willis, 26, won 7-5 7-5 against Martin, a player ranked 226 places higher at 148 in the world. He will next face fellow Briton Liam Broady, with three wins required to qualify for the main draw next week. Willis won six matches last year to get through qualifying, then reached round two before losing to Roger Federer. Twelve months on, he was the centre of attention on the opening day of qualifying at Roehampton, with his match scheduled on the new televised show court. Media playback is not supported on this device Asked if he felt any pressure amid all the interest surrounding him, Willis said: "I'm not putting any on myself." He added: "It feels very different. Last year, I came here and no-one really knew what was going on, I was happy to be here. "I'm happy to be here again, obviously, but after what I did last year, doing less could be disappointing." Willis became the surprise star of week one at last year's Wimbledon, after coming through the pre-qualifying and qualifying competitions ranked 772nd, before finally ending his run against Federer on Centre Court. He has since married wife Jennifer and become a father to Martha, both of whom were courtside to watch him on Monday. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Despite injury problems, he has moved up to 374th in the world, but still required a wildcard to get into the qualifying event. His grass-court skills came to the fore once again as he saw off Martin with breaks in the 11th game of each set, serve-and-volleying his way to a straight-set win without dropping serve. "I enjoy playing on grass, I like playing in front of the home crowd," said Willis. "I like playing tennis, that's about it. "You just have to focus on the tennis ball. I've been knuckling down and training quite hard." Broady, 23, will take on good friend Willis for the eighth time and only the second on grass. "It's obviously a fantastic opportunity for us both playing wildcards in the second round of qualifying," said Broady, who beat Canadian Frank Dancevic 6-2 6-3. "There will probably be more people rooting for Marcus. He's a loveable guy and fantastic to watch." British teenager Jay Clarke was an early winner on day one - the 18-year-old from Derby seeing off El Salvador's world number 232 Marcelo Arevalo 6-3 6-4. Clarke, ranked 360th, recently spent time with the British Davis Cup squad and was invited to practise with Andy Murray at the French Open. "The first few times you step on court with them, it's big thing, but you get used to it," said Clarke. "I'm just taking it day by day here because a lot can happen." Alex Ward, ranked 854th, was another British winner with a 1-6 7-5 6-3 victory over Belarusian seventh seed Egor Gerasimov, the world number 163. The bank is making the additional provision after the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) set a deadline of August 2019 for making new PPI complaints. The FCA also said that some customers may have new grounds to complain. Since the PPI scandal broke, Lloyds has set aside total compensation of £17bn. The relatively high sum of £350m to cover the additional two months added to the deadline follows the FCA's announcement earlier this month that some bank customers could claim if they were not made aware of commission being paid when they were sold PPI. It follows a Supreme Court judgment in November 2014 - what is known as the Plevin decision - that extended the definition of mis-selling for PPI. The court agreed that the bank's failure to tell customers that it was receiving a large commission for sales was unfair. The FCA has decided that compensation will be calculated if commission of more than 50% was paid. Anyone who has had complaints rejected will receive a letter explaining that they could have new grounds for a claim. In a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Lloyds said the additional £350m provision will be reflected in the its results for the first quarter which will be announced on 27 April, and has no impact on guidance. Royal Bank of Scotland, which set aside £601m for PPI claims in its most recent financial year, declined to comment on future provisions. Barclays also declined to comment. PPI claims have been falling and in its most recent annual results, Lloyds' PPI provisions fell to £1bn compared to £4bn in 2015. Pre-tax profit rose from £1.6bn to £4.2bn. Shares in Lloyds rose 0.7% to 69p. "Biafra will live forever. Nothing will stop us," was the gist of their anthem in the Igbo language. They were not exactly belting it out and instead of hoisting the flag up a pole, it was tied to a metal gate. But there is good reason for discretion - in the eyes of the authorities the gathering is illegal. On 5 November, 100 men and women were arrested as they marched peacefully through the city's streets after raising the Biafran flag. They were all imprisoned and accused of treason but then released when the charges were dropped. It appears the government is determined to ensure any agitation for secession is not allowed to gather momentum. Forty-two years after the end of the devastating civil war in which government troops fought and defeated Biafran secessionists, the dream of independence has not completely died. "No amount of threats or arrests will stop us from pursuing our freedom - self-determination for Biafrans," said Edeson Samuel, national chairman of the Biafran Zionist Movement (BZM). "We were forced into this unholy marriage but we don't have the same culture as the northerners. Our religion and culture are quite different from the northerners," he told the BBC. The group broke away from the better-known Movement For The Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (Massob). The 1967-70 civil war threatened to tear apart the young Nigerian nation. Ethnic tensions were high in the mid 1960s. The military had seized power and economic hardship was biting. With the perception that they were pushing to dominate all sectors of society - from business to the civil service - and while they were prominent in the military, the Igbo people were attacked. Thousands were killed, especially during the clashes between northerners, who are mostly Muslim, and Igbos. To save their lives, Igbos fled en masse back "home" to the east. "People used to meet fuel tanker drivers who allowed them to hide inside the tankers - some survived that way," remembers Igwe Anthony Ojukwu, the traditional ruler of Ogui Nike in Enugu State. "As we were licking our wounds… it dawned on us that we could not just stay at home as they would come and fight us and that would mean... extinction," he said, adding that this prompted the move to declare Biafra independent. Today on the streets of Enugu you can hear songs about the war. Booming out from a stall selling CDs and DVDs I heard a song praising the late Chief Emeka Ojukwu - the man who raised the Biafran flag in 1967 and was the leader of the breakaway nation that existed for 31 troubled months. "It was very terrifying. In the market place you hear a bang and you find limbs flying, people lying dead and others running helter-skelter," said war veteran Chief Nduka Eya, recalling the aerial bombardment by the Nigerian forces. At his home he showed me the small card he was given after the Biafrans surrendered. It reads: "Clearance certificate for members of armed forces of defunct Biafra." "Naturally when you lose a war it can be very depressing but what can you do? We took it. But history shows Biafra is defunct out of surrender," said Chief Nduka Eya who is now the secretary general of Ohaneze Ndigbo, an umbrella group representing Igbos around the world. In the bottom right-hand corner of the card is Olusegun Obasanjo's signature. The man who later became the president of Nigeria played a major role in the civil war, fighting on the federal government side. Although no-one knows the true number, more than one million people died in the war - some from the fighting but many more from the resulting famine in the east. In an effort to repair the bruised nation, the Nigerian head of state General Yakubu Gowan spoke of "No Victor, No Vanquished" and also promoted a policy of Reconciliation, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation. But to this day, many Igbos complain that they were punished economically after the war and still speak of being marginalised. The fact that no Nigerian president has come from the east is a source of much rancour. The prospect of an independent Igboland now seems impossible, especially as secessionists would want the area's lucrative oil fields. While those publicly clamouring for independence are a very small minority, it is not hard to find young people who feel they would be better off as a separate nation. This ought to be of great concern to the government of Nigeria. "If this present government does not have the solution for us upcoming youth here, I'd rather the nation breaks," said one young man playing football in Enugu near a statue referred to as "The Unknown Soldier" holding a gun aloft. "We are willing to fight for our rights. Without sacrifice there will be nothing like freedom. We have to pay the price if we want independence and we are ready to do that again," he added. "Islams (sic) don't want the east to rule the country and our opportunities and rights are denied so we are better off as an independent Biafra sovereign nation. Nothing is impossible," another man in his 20s added. The renowned Nigerian author Chinua Achebe recently released his memoirs of the war entitled "There Was a Country." The book includes an insight into what life was like for his family fleeing the city of Lagos and heading east. His account has angered some - especially non-Igbos - and has caused a stir in the Nigerian media as well as on the internet where there are plenty of reminders that ethnic divisions still run deep. Towards the end of his book Achebe asks: "Why has the war not been discussed, or taught to the young, over 40 years after its end? "Are we perpetually doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past because we are too stubborn to learn from them?" Today Nigeria faces massive security challenges - top of the list being the Islamist insurgency in the north that many Nigerians believe is being fuelled by politicians. Many would argue that some of the root causes of the civil war were also triggers of the rebellion in the north as well as the militancy in the Niger Delta. "Three words - injustice, inequality and unfair play," says Chief Nduka Eya who, like Achebe, believes it is essential for young Nigerians to learn about the war. "If you think education is expensive try ignorance," he says. "Ignorance is a very damaging disease. Our boys and girls need to know what actually happened. 'Why did my father go to war?' Someone in the north will ask: 'Why did we go to fight them?'" Sitting on his throne and holding his ox tail staff of office, Igwe Anthony Ojukwu calls for the war to be studied in schools. "The experience of Biafra should be shared so that people outside Biafra will know when they are cheated and when they should start to fight for their own destiny," says the traditional ruler. "The risk of not studying Biafra is that we will continue to subdue the subdueables no matter how justified they are in their demands. We will continue to live a life where the stronger animal kills the other," he says, although he stresses that he is against further efforts to secede. "I think it is important that Nigeria stays together. Those who are singing for disintegration are doing so for selfish ends." Forty-two years after the war, a beer has just been launched in eastern Nigeria. The choice of name, "Hero", and the logo on the bottle of a rising sun similar to the one on the Biafran flag were no accident. These days "Bring me a Hero" is a popular call in the bars of Enugu where people have not entirely given up on the dream of raising a glass to "independence". 20 February 2017 Last updated at 09:12 GMT It's the first time the sport has been held in the country, with 60 teams taking part. It's based on the Chinese sport of dragon boat racing - but instead of taking place on water, it's on ice. The game was invented so people from colder areas could still enjoy dragon boat races during the winter. Mrs Foster was speaking after she and Mrs O'Neill attended a Brexit meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May. Mrs O'Neill said she was the only politician at the meeting representing the "democratic will" of the people of Northern Ireland to remain in the EU. She said she argued that NI should have "special status" in the EU. Mrs O'Neill said she had spoken to James Brokenshire and Theresa May about Mr Brokenshire's remarks on legacy investigations at the weekend, and told them that the secretary of state had "disrespected the views of families who have been bereaved by state violence". Mr Brokenshire said inquiries into killings during the Troubles are "disproportionately" focused on the police and the army. "I took the opportunity to relay to James Brokenshire how disappointed I was at his comments, about how they were not acceptable, that clearly he disrespected the views of all those families that have been bereaved by state violence," Mrs O'Neill said. "I think that clearly that there was insensitivity in terms of James Brokenshire's comments, the timing of them, given that we're in the weekend of Bloody Sunday anniversary, so it was wholly unhelpful. "Clearly we need to deal with the legacy issue if we're going to move forward as society." Mrs Foster said Monday's meeting of the Joint Ministerial Committee was originally meant to be held in Belfast, but had to be switched to Cardiff because of the collapse of the assembly. An assembly election is to be held on 2 March after the Northern Ireland Executive collapsed over the botched Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. Asked if she thought a JMC meeting would be held in Belfast, she said: "Yes it will, absolutely." Mrs Foster said she and Mrs O'Neill would "have to work together, because if the people of Northern Ireland decide that Sinn Féin and the DUP are the two largest parties then we have to move forward and we have to get the institutions up and running again as soon as possible". The JMC is designed to keep the UK's devolved regions informed about Brexit and it is made up of leaders and ministers from the devolved governments in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Mrs May is now in Dublin later to meet Taoiseach Enda Kenny, with Brexit also on the agenda for their talks. Mrs O'Neill attended the Brexit discussions in her capacity as health minister, while Mrs Foster was also present although she is no longer first minister. Sinn Féin accused the DUP leader of being in denial about losing her ministerial job. But the DUP replied that Sinn Féin should check the law that enables Mrs Foster to continue to carry out some of her ministerial functions. Ahead of the discussions, Mrs O'Neill said the government had "ignored the views of the majority of the people" in Northern Ireland on Brexit. While the UK as a whole voted to leave the EU in last June's referendum, 56% of people in Northern Ireland wanted to remain inside the union. Police were called to the Galleria, at the junction of Bon Accord Street and Langstane Place, at 00:10 on Friday. The man who died has been named as Craig Grant, from Aberdeenshire. Police Scotland said three men - two aged 32 and one aged 21 - had been arrested in connection with the death. Officers earlier urged people to come forward if they had mobile phone footage of the incident. Ch Insp Richard Craig had said: "We are aware that this area would have been busy at the time with a number of people in the area. "We are appealing for anyone who may have seen the incident to come forward. We are also aware that people may have captured the incident or the aftermath of it on their mobile phones and we would urgently appeal for them to come forward as soon as possible. "An inquiry team has been set up involving divisional and specialist resources to establish the full circumstances surrounding the death. "We would like to thank the community for being patient while police carry out enquiries in the area." Webb, 50, has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges connected with world football's governing body. He is under house arrest in New York after securing the $10m (£6.4m) bail. Among the items Webb put up as bond were 11 luxury watches - including a Cartier Roadster - three cars and his wife's diamond wedding ring. According to an order filed on Monday setting the conditions for his release, the vehicles were a 2015 Ferrari, a 2014 Range Rover and a 2003 Mercedes-Benz. Webb, from the Cayman Islands, also provided a $400,000 (£256,000) account in the name of his wife, Dr Kendra Gamble-Webb. He is accused of accepting bribes worth millions of dollars in connection with the sale of marketing rights and was detained in Switzerland in May, along with six football officials. On Monday, Fifa announced a programme of reforms to address accusations of corruption within the organisation. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani joined the mourners in the city of Lahore amid tight security. Mr Taseer, one of Pakistan's most outspoken liberal politicians, was shot on Tuesday by a bodyguard angered by his opposition to blasphemy laws. Although many have condemned the assassination, some religious leaders have praised the governor's killer. The governor - a senior member of the governing Pakistan People's Party (PPP) - had recently angered Islamists by appealing for a Christian woman, sentenced to death for blasphemy, to be pardoned. Mr Gilani has declared three days of national mourning and appealed for calm. The bodyguard, Malik Mumtaz Hussein Qadri, 26, was showered with rose petals by supporters as he appeared in court in Islamabad on Wednesday. Mr Gilani and thousands of supporters of the PPP attended funeral prayers at Governor's House in Lahore. Mr Taseer's coffin was then taken by helicopter to a graveyard in a military zone. Security was intense and the city virtually shut down. By M Ilyas KhanBBC News, Islamabad The assassination of Governor Salman Taseer appears to have raised the level of threat against liberal voices in Pakistan. While many religious leaders have publicly justified the murder, the liberal sections of society have been more cautious in condemning it. This is due to the rising tendency in society to silence voices of religious dissent by force, a tendency promoted by militant groups and condoned by religious forces active in the political sphere. Even within the clerical community, many liberal voices have been silenced. Some have been blown up in suicide attacks, others have migrated. In a country where religious politicians have never won an election, this policy of intimidation has expanded their influence. They often distance themselves from acts of militancy but still try to justify them. For example, they often condemn suicide attacks by militants on civilian targets, but qualify the act as caused by "anger over excesses being committed against Muslims by Western powers". Following Mr Taseer's assassination, they mostly did the same: condemning the act but justifying the killer who "acted in defence of the dignity of the Prophet". As is evident from Mr Taseer's assassination, any counter-argument can invoke a decree of death. The assassination has drawn condemnation from around the world. However, some Pakistani religious leaders have praised the governor's killer and called for a boycott of the ceremonies in Lahore, says the BBC's Orla Guerin in Islamabad. One small religious party, the Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Pakistan, warned that anyone who expressed grief over the assassination could suffer the same fate. "No Muslim should attend the funeral or even try to pray for Salman Taseer or even express any kind of regret or sympathy over the incident," the party said in a statement. It said anyone who expressed sympathy over the death of a blasphemer was also committing blasphemy. The Pakistani Taliban - Tehreek Taliban - also said anyone offering prayers for Mr Taseer would be guilty of blasphemy. Speaking to the BBC, its deputy chief, Ehsanullah Ehsan, also warned religious scholars not to change their stance on blasphemy laws. The bodyguard Malik Mumtaz Hussein Qadri was detained immediately after the shooting at Kohsar Market in Islamabad. He confessed to the murder, said Pakistan's interior minister, Rehman Malik. At his first court appearance in Islamabad the guard was showered with rose petals by sympathetic lawyers and hugged by other supporters. He was remanded in police custody and is due back in court on Thursday on charges of murder and terrorism. After leaving court he stood next to an armoured police van wearing a garland of flowers given by a supporter and shouted "God is great". Police are now questioning the rest of Mr Taseer's security detail and are also carrying out an inquiry into the governor's security arrangements. "We will investigate whether it was an individual act or there is some organisation behind it," Mr Malik told a news conference. The BBC's M Ilyas Khan says the questions being asked at the moment are whether the killer acted alone and why other members of Mr Taseer's security team did not try to prevent the assassination. There are few credible explanations as to why the guard was able to empty two magazines of his sub-machine gun at the governor without being shot by his colleagues, our correspondent says. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were among those who condemned the killing. Pakistan's high commissioner to London, Wajid Shamshul Hassan, told the BBC's Newshour programme that Pakistan would not allow itself to "be held hostage by a minority of [radical] religious people". "We will be tough on them. Unless we get rid of such people in our society... you can't feel that justice will be done." Mr Taseer had called for a pardon for Pakistani Christian woman, Asia Bibi, who was sentenced to death for insulting the Prophet Muhammad during an argument with other farmhands in a Punjab village in June 2009. She denies the charge. Critics say the blasphemy law has been used to persecute minority faiths in Pakistan and is exploited by people with personal grudges. Pakistan's government last week distanced itself from a private member's bill which seeks to amend the law by abolishing its mandatory death sentence. The death of Mr Taseer - a close associate of President Asif Ali Zardari - is the most high-profile assassination in Pakistan since former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was killed in December 2007. The PPP-led government has been under considerable threat in recent times. One of its coalition partners walked out at the weekend. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is withholding the latest tranche of its $11.3bn loan to Islamabad, while petrol prices have increased sharply and chronic fuel shortages are causing unrest. Pakistan is also under pressure from the US to move against militants in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan. India's ranking on broadband penetration dropped to 131 in 2014 - lower by six places since the last year - according to a Unesco report covering 189 countries and titled "The State of Broadband 2015". On mobile broadband subscriptions, India also slipped significantly as it stood at 155 in 2014 compared to 113 in 2013, far below neighbouring Sri Lanka and Nepal, which were ranked 126 and 115 respectively. The country has also climbed down by five places to 80 among 133 developing countries, despite some progress in terms of individual use of the internet, the report says. The findings underline the challenge that Prime Minister Narendra Modi faces in realising his government's "Digital India" project, which aims to universalise mobile and internet access across the country. The 2015 report, released just ahead of the UN Sustainable Development Goals Summit on 26 September, emphasises the concerns of experts over the achievability of the "Digital India" initiative. The project aims to reduce the "digital divide" by providing high-speed internet connectivity to the farthest corners of the country by 2019. It also speaks of "empowering" over 68% of India's population, living in rural areas. Analysts have voiced doubts over the viability of these aims, arguing that they cannot be fulfilled without due attention to critical shortcomings in infrastructure. The project envisages a 6,000km-long National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) to connect cities, towns and 150,000 postal offices by December 2016 at an estimated cost of over $18bn. Osama Manzar, founder-director of the Digital Empowerment Foundation, in an article on the Mint website laments the lack of investment pledges by telecommunication firms towards building the network. "It is on record that not a single telecom operator or industry house has signed up to partner the NOFN programme, despite the Department of Telecommunications inviting them several times," he says. The NOFN project is far behind schedule and is unlikely to be completed on time. A particular obstacle is posed by the challenges of laying such an underground network in insurgency-affected states like Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Indian-administered Kashmir, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. A lack of agreement between the central and state governments does not help, and compounding the mix are illiteracy, poverty and a shortage of skilled manpower. The "Digital India" project aims to promote e-education in over 250,000 government schools and e-governance in about 250,000 village councils via internet connections. However, most schools in villages and towns face a severe shortage of qualified computer trainers. According to recent government data, 36% of the 884 million people in rural areas are illiterate, and among the 64% who are literate, only 5.4% have completed high school. And rural electrification continues to be an area of major concern. India is a large market for mobile telephony, but it does not fare well on considerations of internet speed via mobile devices. A recent Deloitte report said the total number of internet users in the country was 254m in September 2014, and of these, 235m users were accessing the internet through mobile devices. The research suggests that there are 439,000 mobile network towers nationwide, but only 700 can actually support 3G or 4G data use. Statistics show that despite having the third-largest population of internet users in the world, India stands at 52nd place in terms of internet speed. It has an average speed of 1.5 to 2 mbps, while developed Asian countries like South Korea and Japan enjoy speeds of 14.2 and 11.7 mbps respectively. The latest UN report, therefore, only underlines the already formidable challenges faced by the "Digital India" project.

The government says the action is needed to help tackle bovine TB, a disease of cattle that can be spread by badgers. Campaigners against the cull say the policy will have no impact on bovine TB, and could lead to local populations of badgers being wiped out. A: The trials took place in areas where there were a high number of TB infections in cattle to assess whether badgers could be culled humanely, safely and effectively. The precise areas where badgers were shot by trained marksmen was not revealed. One area was in West Somerset and the other in and around West Gloucestershire. A third area, in Dorset, was prepared in reserve but there was no culling last year. The cull aimed to kill at least 70% of badgers across areas about the size of the Isle of Wight in each zone. A: The pilots do not look at scientific data. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) will review: On the basis of the report by an independent panel - expected in March - ministers will make a decision about whether or not to extend the pilots to other areas of England. A: Scientific evidence suggests sustained culls of badgers under controlled conditions could reduce TB in local cattle by 12-16% after four years of annual culls, and five years of follow-up, although it could be lower and it could be higher. The randomised badger culling trial in England found that killing badgers disrupted their social groups, with surviving animals moving out to establish new groups, taking TB with them. This perturbation effect led to an increase in cases of bovine TB outside of the cull zone, although the impact diminished over time. The pilot culls attempted to use borders such as rivers and motorways to reduce the risk of badgers spreading TB to neighbouring areas, but this approach has not been fully tested. The randomised badger culling trial trapped badgers in cages for the cull, while the main method planned for Gloucestershire and Somerset was free shooting, although cage trapping and shooting was also used. Any deviation from methods used in the original trial will decrease or increase the expected impact on bovine TB, according to scientists. A: Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease of cattle. It presents a serious problem for the cattle industry, causing financial and personal hardship for farmers. The disease is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), which can also infect and cause TB in badgers, deer and other mammals. Cattle are regularly tested for TB and destroyed if they test positive. Q: Why are badgers implicated in spreading TB? A: Scientific evidence has shown that bovine TB can be transmitted from cattle to cattle; from badgers to cattle and cattle to badgers; and from badger to badger. Badgers are thought to pass on the disease to cattle through their urine, faeces or through droplet infection, in the farmyard or in cattle pastures. However, it is not clear how big a role badgers play in the spread of bovine TB since the cows can also pass the disease on to other members of the herd. According to computer modelling studies, herd-to-herd transmission of bovine TB in cattle accounts for 94% of cases. Scientific evidence from the randomised badger culling trials found around 6% of infected cattle catch TB directly from badgers. The figure rises to about 50%, when cattle infected by badgers pass it on to other herds, say scientists. A: TB has cost the taxpayer in England £500m to control the disease in the last 10 years. According to Defra, each pilot cull will cost about £100,000 a year, with these costs met by farmers who want badgers killed on their land. This figure does not include policing costs, which have been estimated at £500,000 per area per year, according to a written answer to parliament. According to Mary Creagh, shadow secretary of state for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, other costs include: A wildlife charity has estimated the costs of the pilot culls to be more than £4,000 per badger killed. Most of the shooting was thought to have been carried out at dusk or at night, since the animals are largely nocturnal. There are two main methods used to shoot badgers: searching over an area with a spotlight and rifle; or placing bait at a fixed point, then lying in wait for the badger. This requires a team of two or three people: the shooter, a spotter and a potential third person to drive a vehicle or act as an additional safety lookout. Shooting must be avoided if the teams are near rights of ways, or close to rural dwellings in order to prevent accidental injury to the public. To comply with humane standards, the person using the firearm must try to kill the animal quickly with the first shot. This means being able to locate the heart-lung area of the badger's body and be confident of a "clean" kill up to a range of 50-70m. But there are problems in shooting animals at distance in the dark. Coloured filters can be used with spotlights to reduce a badger's awareness of the spotlight, allowing teams to approach more closely, or take more time on a shot. But they also reduce visibility for the shooter. Night vision sights can be used if certain conditions are met. Officials accept that second shots may sometimes be necessary. Though it is practical to select a site near a badger sett, the shooting must not take place so close to the entrance (at least 30m away) that a wounded badger can retreat inside before a follow-up shot can be taken. Licensed operators must pass a Defra-approved marksmanship course and must have received training on humane shooting. There are restrictions on firearms and ammunition. Q: What is happening in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland? A: Scotland is classified as free of TB. The Welsh Assembly Government has chosen to vaccinate badgers, with trials underway in North Pembrokeshire. Northern Ireland is conducting research into an eradication programme involving vaccination and selected culling of badgers with signs of TB infection. The Republic of Ireland has been culling badgers since the 1980s. Q: Can badgers or cows be vaccinated? A: There is a vaccine for badgers - the BCG jab, which has been used by a number of wildlife and conservation bodies in England, including the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, the RSPB, the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and the National Trust. Badger vaccination is underway in Wales and the Republic of Ireland, and there are plans to introduce it in Northern Ireland. Cattle can also be vaccinated with the BCG vaccine. Vaccination of cattle against TB is currently prohibited by EU legislation, mainly because BCG vaccination of cattle can interfere with the tuberculin skin test, the main diagnostic test for TB. Vaccination is not effective in badgers or cattle that are infected with TB. In Wales, the cost of vaccinating each badger is put at £662. The unreleased movie follows a clown who is sent to a concentration camp and told to lead children to their deaths. Lewis, who has died at the age of 91, gave his copy of the film to the US Library of Congress. In 2015, the library confirmed it would be shown to scholars and members of the public - but not before June 2024. Some, however, are not prepared to wait that long. "RIP jerry lewis, release 'the day the clown cried' immediately," wrote one Twitter user on Sunday. "Is it horrible that my first thought upon hearing about Jerry Lewis's death is 'now they can release The Day The Clown Cried'?" asked Paul DeBruler. Lewis directed the 1972 film and played the leading role - a clown who is arrested in Nazi Germany for drunkenly defaming Hitler. The character is then thrown into a concentration camp, where he is beaten and forced to lead children into gas chambers. Lewis kept what is believed to be the only copy locked in a private vault before donating it to the Library of Congress. US comedian Harry Shearer, one of only a handful of people known to have seen the film, said he was "stunned" by how bad it was. In 1992, he said: "This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is." The film's release was initially blocked by co-writer Joan O'Brien, according to the Lewis biography King of Comedy by Shawn Levy. Later, Lewis himself didn't want the film to be shown, at least not in his lifetime, and rarely spoke about it. On one of the few occasions he broke his silence, he said it was "bad, bad, bad" and would "never be seen". "I was ashamed of the work and I was grateful I had the power to contain it all and never let anyone see it," he said in 2013. "It could have been wonderful but I slipped up - I didn't quite get it." "It ain't finished," he said in another interview in 2009. "No one's ever gonna see it. "After I'm gone, who knows what's going to happen? [But] I think I have the legalese necessary to keep it where it is." Last year, images from the film featured in a BBC documentary titled The Story of The Day the Clown Cried, and clips have emerged on YouTube. Various purported versions of the script have been circulated online, inspiring both live readings and video re-enactments. Lewis was famous around the world for his partnership with Dean Martin, his fund-raising for muscular dystrophy and his numerous hit comedies. For all his attempts to keep it under wraps, though, his infamous Holocaust drama remains a source of continued fascination and debate.

This will be the couple's first baby. Often called the "queen of Bollywood", Rai, 37, married Bachchan in 2007, forging the ultimate Bollywood dynasty. She first charmed the nation at just 21, winning Miss World in 1994. She has acted in several Hollywood films too. "News news news!! I am going to become a grandfather. Aishwarya expecting. So happy and thrilled," Mr Bachchan tweeted on Tuesday night. The actor later wrote that he had received "2,843 tweets in the first half hour" and that he was "overwhelmed with wishes and blessings". It's not yet known when the baby is due. Rai was the first Indian actress to sit on the Cannes jury in 2003. She has also appeared on the cover of Time magazine as the global face of Indian cinema. Because of her popularity in India and outside, she has long been the face of cosmetic giant Loreal and high-end Longines watches.

One in 150 people in Mid-Ulster were found to carry the gene, compared to one in 1,000 in Belfast and one in 2,000 in the rest of the UK. More than three-quarters of carriers will never develop health issues, but it can cause long-term problems and be potentially life-threatening for those that do. Scientists hope the work will help find those at risk of passing on the gene. The gene - called AIP, but known as the "giant gene" - can result in too much growth hormone, which is produced and released by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland just below the brain. The excessive production occurs as the result of a non-cancerous tumour in the gland. The condition, called acromegaly or gigantism, can be successfully treated with brain surgery and medication. A screening programme for the gene was undertaken in Magherafelt, Cookstown and Dungannon in 2013. The genetic mutation has been found in more than 400 people, and at least 15 families in Northern Ireland have been identified as carriers. Dr Steven Hunter, an endocrinologist at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, said only 20% of carriers will develop symptoms. "It can present with tall stature and people growing excessively tall at a young age," he told the BBC. "It can also cause problems with growth of the hands and feet in older people and it's associated with problems related to headache because of the growing tumour in the brain and affects eyesight as well. "We've also seen people with other hormonal problems and infertility. "It can be life-threatening, but in many cases it's disfiguring." There are effective treatments and the emphasis was on early diagnosis, he said. The gene caused Charles Byrne, born in 1761 near Cookstown and known as the "Irish giant", to grow more than 7ft 6in (2.3m) tall. He became an object of curiosity after travelling to London to seek his fortune before his death in 1783. Geneticists have identified that Mr Byrne and the living carriers of the gene shared a common ancestor who lived about 2,500 years ago. Brendan Holland, from Dungannon, is 6ft 9in (2.1m) and a distant relative of Byrne. "It may not please the romantic in some people, but those who are afflicted with this condition probably won't object to the end of this condition," he said. "I've been lucky, I've actually been cured and had the best treatment available. "My mother passed the gene to me and she never knew that and many people still to this day are passing the gene on without knowing it." Belfast clinical genetics consultant Prof Patrick Morrison said most people have the wrong perception of giants, believing they are "very fit and athletic and would make great basketball players". "It's a miserable life for a giant, actually," he said. "If you're nearly 7ft (2.1m) in height your heart doesn't work so well, you can have heart failure. Your pituitary gland can cause vision problems, you're actually quite weak. "Maybe by your mid to late 20s you've a lot of problems and a lot of these giants will die in their late 20s if not treated." The research into the population screening in Mid Ulster was led by Marta Korbonits, professor of endocrinology at Barts and the London School of Medicine Queen Mary. Prof Korbonits discovered the genetic link for the mutation of the Irish giant gene. The scientists hope that their work will help to identify those at risk of passing on the gene to future generations and will lead to earlier diagnosis.

An area in Northern Ireland has been identified as a "giant hotspot" by scientists studying a gene defect which causes people to grow abnormally tall.

Davis Cup will retain its three-day format, with doubles matches on the Saturday still the best-of-five sets, and the dead rubber policy will also be amended. Both Davis Cup and Fed Cup finalists will have the choice of hosting their first-round tie the following year. The changes still require AGM approval. The ITF will be asked to approve these changes at its meeting in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in August and president David Haggerty is confident they will be passed. "Davis Cup and Fed Cup are two of the most iconic team competitions in sport, but there is no doubt change is needed to ensure that we maximise their full potential," he said. "While still needing AGM approval, we are confident that our National Associations will see that to vote for these reforms is to vote for the long-term future of our competitions and our sport." In February, almost 87.9% of people were seen within time, up from 87.1% in January. But weekly waiting times, which cover major hospitals only, show a slight drop in performance. The Scottish government said it had been challenging winter, but there were signs of improvement. The latest figures show Scotland's main A&E units dealt with 26,465 patients between 23 and 29 March. Of those, 91.3% of people were seen within four hours, compared to 91.7% the previous week. A total of 213 had to wait more than eight hours to be seen, while 22 spent 12 hours or more in A&E. Only the weekly figures can be compared with those produced in England, where 87.8% of A&E admissions at major hospitals were seen within four hours during the same week. The Scottish government first began publishing weekly waiting times in March, following one of the worst winters for Scottish A&Es in recent years. Health Secretary Shona Robison said waiting times were improving. She said: "As the weekly figures for February have already shown us, this year's winter was a very challenging one for our A&E departments. However, we are seeing signs of improvement with waits reducing in February when compared to January, and further improvement throughout March. "Attendances at A&E over the last year have also risen when compared to the two previous years, however, it is encouraging to see that long waits have dropped significantly since the start of the year, with figures for the week ending 29 March showing that 0.8% of patients waited for more than eight hours." But Scottish Labour health spokeswoman Jenny Marra said only her party had the policies to reduce waiting times. She said: "It has been more than 2,000 days since the SNP last met their own target on A&E figures. If anything, we appear to be going backwards as patients wait too long for treatment at our overstretched A&E departments. The Scottish Liberal Democrat health spokesman Jim Hume said the Scottish government should prioritise the NHS. He said: "It's disappointing once again to see that whilst NHS staff are doing their utmost to deliver excellent patient care, the SNP government doesn't have its priorities straight. NHS staff need more resources and only Liberal Democrats are committed to delivering an £800m boost to the Scottish NHS." Weather officials warn of high winds, rain and flash flooding as the weather system now moves up the east coast. Four people were killed in Mississippi and 15 in Georgia during the weekend's tornadoes and thunderstorms. President Trump has pledged federal assistance to the three states that have been most-affected by the storms. "The tornadoes were vicious and powerful and strong and they suffered greatly," Mr Trump said on Sunday at the White House. "So we'll be helping out," he added. The Georgia Emergency Management Agency said that the 15 victims were in the southern Cook, Brooks, Dougherty and Berrien counties. Most of the deaths occurred in Cook County, when a mobile home park was apparently struck by a tornado. Cook County coroner Tim Purvis said numerous mobile homes had been "levelled" before dawn on Sunday in the park near the city of Adel. Emergency teams are still searching for survivors beneath the rubble, he added, and by Monday evening, residents had not been permitted to return. Mr Purvis estimated that the park has about 40 mobile homes in total, and roughly half were destroyed. "These storms have devastated communities and homes in South Central Georgia, and the state is making all resources available to the impacted areas," Governor Deal said in a statement. "Trailers are just flat, just laid on top of people", rescue worker Debbie Van Brackel told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "You need a bulldozer to pull it off. Trailers are upside down." In Brooks County, coroner Michael Miller said two people died when an apparent tornado tossed a mobile home around 100 yards into the middle of Highway 122. Swathes of the south-eastern United States have been hit by storms over the weekend. Several tornadoes were also reported in South Carolina and Florida, officials say. In southern Mississippi, four people died in the path of a tornado with winds above 218 km/h (136 mph). More than 50 others were injured and about 1,100 homes were damaged or destroyed, state officials said. The Georgia Emergency Management Agency issued advice on the best and worst places to shelter from a tornado late on Saturday, advising locals in the path of a tornado to cover themselves with blankets or a mattress for protection. The visitors led 19-0 at the break and added 20 more unanswered points after the break. Coach Rowland Phillips takes his side to face Ireland in Dublin on Sunday, 22 January.

"If Taksim Square is not evacuated, this country's security forces will know how to evacuate it," he said. A controversial redevelopment plan for the park has sparked two weeks of anti-government unrest. After Mr Erdogan's speech, police fired tear gas and water cannon, and advanced into Gezi Park. The protesters have vowed to stay there, despite a promise by the PM to halt the plan until a court ruling on the issue. Mr Erdogan made his remarks in a speech at an AK party rally in a suburb of the capital Ankara. "Staying there [in Gezi Park] makes no sense anymore as the matter is now in the hands of the courts," he told tens of thousands of cheering supporters. 31 May: Protests begin in Gezi Park over plans to redevelop one of Istanbul's few green spaces 3 June: Protesters establish camps with makeshift facilities from libraries to food centres 4-10 June: Protests widen into show of anti-government dissent in towns and cities across Turkey; clashes between police and demonstrators 11/12 June: Night of clashes see riot police disperse anti-government demonstrators in Taksim Square, which adjoins Gezi Park; camps in the park remain 13 June: Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan issues a "final warning" to protesters to leave Gezi Park 14 June: Government agrees to suspend Gezi Park redevelopment plans until a court rules on the issue, PM holds talks with members of a key protest group 15 June: Protesters vow to continue occupying Gezi Park Q&A: Protests in Turkey Why is Gezi Park so important? Turkey sails further into dangerous waters Last month, an Istanbul court issued an initial injunction against the plan to cut down trees in the park to make way for a shopping centre and replica 18th-Century military barracks. The government has appealed against the ruling. During the rally, Mr Erdogan also repeated a pledge to hold a referendum in Istanbul on the issue. "If there are still brothers there, please leave because this park belongs to the population of Istanbul. It is not an area to be occupied by illegal organisations," he said. "Nobody can intimidate us. We take no orders or instruction from anyone but God," he added, according to AFP. He also dismissed the wave of anti-government protests as part of an organised plot against him. Mr Erdogan has issued deadlines before - but this was a confident performance from a man who is a natural orator, the BBC's Chris Morris reports from Istanbul. The crowd loved it, and Mr Erdogan said that as long as he had their support, no lobby or interest group could stop them, our correspondent adds. After the speech, riot police fired tear gas and water cannon at demonstrators in Taksim Square and Gezi Park. Protesters in the park have remained defiant despite Mr Erdogan's promise to halt the redevelopment plan. The offer was presented as a major concession. But after all-night discussions in Gezi Park, the protesters said their movement was more than just a conservation protest and vowed to stay on. "We shall remain in the park until all of our democratic rights are recognised,'' Tayfun Kahraman, a member of Taksim Solidarity - the group seen as most representative of the protesters - told the Associated Press, insisting that four key demands laid out by protesters in the talks had not been met. Apart from halting the Gezi Park redevelopment project, Taksim Solidarity has also formulated the following demands: On Friday night, riot police again used tear gas and water cannon to disperse demonstrators in the capital Ankara. About 30 protesters were reported to have been arrested. Five people have died and thousands have been injured since the protests began on 31 May, spreading to the adjacent Taksim Square a day later and then to other towns and cities across Turkey. Protesters have accused Mr Erdogan's government of becoming increasingly authoritarian and of trying to impose conservative Islamic values on a secular state. The police crackdown on protesters in Istanbul, Ankara, and other towns and cities has drawn international concern, especially from Europe. Farid Khan was stripped naked by the crowd, beaten and dragged through streets before being hanged in Dimapur, the main city in Nagaland state. Police officers opened fire to try to stop the mob, wounding several people. Tensions in the country are high following the government's decision to ban India's Daughter, a film about the 2012 gang rape of a student. The Hindustan Times newspaper reports that the crowd "tore down two gates and took custody" of the suspect, before dragging him to the town's landmark clock tower. Police say the man was a Bengali-speaking Muslim trader from neighbouring Assam state. He was arrested in February on charges of rape. There have been recurring tensions in some parts of north-eastern India between Bengali speakers, accused of being immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh, and local ethnic groups. Local groups began protests on Wednesday demanding action against the alleged rapist. Vigilante justice is not unheard of in India but it is rarely seen on this scale. A curfew has been imposed in Dimapur following incidents of arson in some parts of the city. India's rape crisis has been pushed back to the forefront of public discourse by the decision of the government to ban the BBC documentary India's Daughter, which examines the 2012 gang rape of a young student in Delhi. The documentary features an interview with one of the men sentenced to death for the attack. His lack of remorse and suggestions that the victim might have survived if she had not resisted has drawn international outrage and sparked protests across India. The film was broadcast in the UK on Wednesday night. Alun Davies defended the Welsh Government's £3m contribution to Yr Egin as an "important investment". The University of Wales Trinity St David had promised its development would not require public funding. Mr Davies said he did not know if it would create 600 jobs as claimed, but was "confident" of new opportunities. He told the Welsh Assembly's culture committee on Wednesday that he saw Yr Egin as an important investment, supporting the economy of west Wales and the Welsh language. There was an "important role" for the Welsh Government to invest where there was a failure in the market, he added, helping to create high-quality jobs in the medium of Welsh in an area such as Carmarthenshire. In March, university chiefs told the committee that the building - due to open in late spring 2018 - had not yet signed up any tenants other than S4C. Mr Davies added that S4C could do more to support skills development, in partnership with other broadcasters, trade bodies, unions and the new Creative Wales body being set up by the Welsh Government. Simon Thomas, Plaid Cymru Mid and West Wales AM, said: "I'm glad the Welsh Government supported this important development which will benefit not just the west Wales, but also the Welsh language media industry as it creates a number of high quality jobs."

He admits he "panicked slightly" during his Oscar acceptance speech. Navtej Johal reports. Samples were taken from Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and from the bloodstained uniform of Alexander II, Nicholas's grandfather, killed in 1881. The Romanov family members, who were killed by revolutionary Bolsheviks, are buried at a St Petersburg cathedral. The Orthodox Church wants to confirm family links before other relatives can be reburied with them. The long-running murder case had been closed in 1998, after DNA tests authenticated the Romanov remains found in a mass grave in the Urals in 1991. But the DNA tests did not convince some Russian Orthodox Church members, because the remains of two - Tsarevich Alexei and Grand Duchess Maria - were found only in 2007, at a different spot in the Urals. The Investigative Committee, a state body, says new checks are needed in order to authenticate the remains of those two. Russia plans to rebury Alexei and Maria alongside the rest of the family in St Petersburg's Peter and Paul Cathedral. But for that to happen the Church wants to be certain about the remains. Tsar Nicholas II, Alexandra, their four daughters - grand duchesses Anastasia, Maria, Olga and Tatiana - their son the Tsarevich Alexei and four royal staff members were murdered in the cellar of a house in Yekaterinburg in 1918. One night they were lined up as if for a family photo, and then a Bolshevik firing squad killed them in a hail of bullets, according to witness accounts. Those who did not die immediately were bayonetted. The royal couple and three daughters were formally reburied on 17 July 1998 - the 80th anniversary of the murder. They were canonised by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000. Alexei and Maria are also likely to be canonised before the 100th anniversary in 2018. Their remains are currently kept at the Russian State Archives. The new investigation also involves taking samples from Alexandra's sister the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna, buried in Jerusalem. Only now can Russian investigators get access to those remains. The Romanovs were ousted from power and exiled in 1917, shortly before the communist Bolsheviks overthrew the provisional government. Documents from the so-called "White Guards Investigation" concerning the family's 1918 murder will also be studied. They came to light in the past four years. Tsar Alexander II was killed by a bomb thrown by a "People's Will" revolutionary in 1881, and buried in his military uniform in the Peter and Paul Cathedral. A lawyer for Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, a descendant of the murdered Romanovs, said she supported the new investigation. Quoted by Russia's Tass news agency, lawyer German Lukyanov said "not all aspects of the imperial family's murder were explained in the case, and not all the Russian Orthodox Church's questions were answered fully and clearly". "The grand duchess hopes that the examination of the Yekaterinburg remains will be scientific... The truth must be established in this case, with an answer to the main question: whose are these remains?" Then on Wednesday night, Mr Trump took matters into his own hands. Minutes before the third and final presidential debate, the Trump campaign launched an alternative debate broadcast, streamed on Facebook live via the candidate's page and complete with Trump-styled political commentators and analysis. The alternative broadcast, viewed by more than eight million people, could be the start of a new business venture for the New York tycoon: a Trump TV network. On Monday, the Financial Times reported Mr Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, had informally approached a top media dealmaker to discuss setting up a network after the presidential election in November. The Trump campaign denies there are plans for a channel, but the rumours suggest Mr Trump wants to capitalise on the anti-media sentiment he has drummed up among supporters. Were Mr Trump to launch a network, he could likely rely on support from several "mainstream" conservative media talents, including Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly from Fox News. Mr Hannity and Mr O'Reilly have clauses in their contracts that allow them leave the network after Roger Ailes's departure, according to the Financial Times. They host two of the most popular shows on the network. A 2014 media study by Pew Research Center found that 19% of respondents who identified as mostly conservative and 45% of respondents who identified as consistently conservative got their political and government news from Mr Hannity's radio show. Mr Hannity, a self-professed talk show host and effusive Trump supporter, came under fire earlier this year for a "soft-ball" interview he did with Mr Trump. He responded to his critics saying, he "was not a journalist" and listeners should expect his interviews to be easier on Republican candidates because he believed in the "Republican vision". Mr Trump could also likely count on support from Stephen Bannon, the chairman of right-wing news sites Breitbart, who currently runs the Trump campaign. Roger Alies, the former head of Fox News and now ally of the Trump campaign, would be prohibited from working on a new Trump network due to the terms of his exit agreement with Fox. Mr Ailes left the network in July after multiple sexual harassment claims were made against him. Statistics also suggest a "Trump News Network" could count on Republican voters for an audience. The Pew study found that respondents who identified as consistently conservative almost exclusively trusted conservative leaning media and talk show personalities. The majority of conservative respondents also said they distrusted more than half of American media outlets, including public broadcasters. By contrast, liberals said they distrusted less than 30% of the media, with their greatest levels of distrust reserved for conservative news talk shows, such as Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity. Comments on Mr Trump's Facebook page after Wednesday night's debate supported the idea that conservatives are likely to only trust their own media. "Love seeing us millennials and are new way of communication, no need for the New York Times, Boston Global, & Crooked bias coverage of NEWSPAPERS! We are live and connected through the Internet!" wrote one supporter. Another said: "A very sincere thank you for bringing the truth to light. Not to mention your unsurpassed bravery, again thank you for fighting for us!!! God Bless America!" Daniel Dawson, 36, of Darcy Lever, Bolton, had pleaded guilty to 19 offences of possessing and making indecent images of children. At Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court, he was jailed for 12 months. He was also given a sexual offences prevention order and made to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years. Police said Dawson was caught in April following an international investigation into the activities of an online retailer based in Canada selling films containing child pornography and indecent images of children. When warrants were executed at the Canadian premises, customers from around the world were identified and cases were passed to the relevant police forces. Greater Manchester Police raided Dawson's home and seized a number of computers and media storage devices and a total of 1.5m images were recovered. A computer specialist sampled more than 15,000 of these images and identified more than 6,500 indecent images of children aged six to 14 years old. Due to the sheer volume of indecent images, the specialist could not examine all of the pictures. Officers also recovered evidence that Dawson had repeatedly searched the internet for indecent images of children. At the time, Dawson was working as a welfare officer at Glossopdale Community College in Derbyshire and coached at Middleton Lads and Girls FC. He was suspended from both roles immediately following the initial police involvement. Dawson previously held similar positions in other schools across the region. There was no evidence to suggest Dawson committed any offences against the children he came into contact with in a professional capacity, police said. Abdi Gutale, from Leytonstone, was killed when a gunman opened fire as he drove his Vauxhall Zafira down a residential street early on Saturday. He was with friends in his car having just finished work when the shots were fired near the Melbourne Road and Capworth Street junction in Leyton. Mr Gutale reversed to try to escape but hit a parked car and died at the scene. One of his friends was shot in the foot. Det Ch Insp Andrew Packer said: "From witness reports it appears in the immediate aftermath there were people running away from the scene. "I continue to appeal to anyone who was in the area and witnessed this incident, or who has any information that could assist this investigation to come forward and speak to police." Two men aged 19 and 31 were arrested on suspicion of murder and released on bail until early July. But few think that the heated exchanges will have won over the 15% who say they are still undecided over who to vote for. Emmanuel Galiero and François-Xavier Bourmaud of conservative Le Figaro say "Macron held up and asserted himself against Le Pen" in a "debate of unprecedented brutality that lacked substance". Marine Le Pen "launched all-out war in an attempt to stifle her rival", but Emmanuel Macron "dominated his opponent on economic issues". Overall it was a "dialogue of the deaf… as the positions of the two candidates appeared totally irreconcilable", the correspondents conclude. Centre-left Le Monde agrees that stark differences were on display in the "brutal debate", and sides clearly with Mr Macron over his "repeated denunciations of the 'nonsense' talked by the National Front candidate". Left-wing Liberation accuses Ms Le Pen of "drowning the debate in an avalanche of disinformation". Like several other papers, it fact-checks her "false and exaggerated statements". Top-selling Ouest France says its fact-checkers found all of her accusations to be false or vague, and sometimes reflected the "agenda of pro-Russian or far-right internet sites". Catholic La Croix's Francois Ernenwein, like Cecile Cornudet in Les Echos business daily, complains that the debate was "relentless without ever gaining clarity", but gives Mr Macron credit for "trying to answer his opponent's accusations without losing his cool". In Germany, centre-left Sueddeutsche Zeitung's Leila Al-Serori thinks "neither candidate brought any new programme details to the debate, but rather wheeled out all their guns for the final TV duel". She says that Emmanuel Macron "came across as presidential and self-confident, but also a bit arrogant: he gave as good as he got, but did not rise to her bait", while Marine Le Pen was "domineering, mocking and the more relaxed of the two, but did not appear stateswomanlike". Like many commentators, she deems it "hard to see how either could have won over undecided voters". Sascha Lehnartz of conservative Die Welt says the debate - "by far the worst of the Fifth Republic" - "went off the rails from the first minute", descending into "one long screaming match until an acceptable level was reached at the end". He partly blames the two TV presenters, "who barely deserved the title", and agrees that undecided voters will not have been helped by the debate. Like all commentators, he notes that a viewers' poll made Mr Macron the clear winner of the night. "One can only hope that the poll reflects reality. For either Emmanuel Macron wins on Sunday, or else it's all over for France," Lehnartz concludes. Michaela Wiegel in the centre-right Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung also deplores the level of exchanges in "the most vague and aggressive debate the history of French televised presidential run-offs", in particular highlighting Ms Le Pen's charge that Mr Macron would "take his orders from Berlin". The paper also hopes the viewers' poll is correct, as "given Le Pen's anti-EU stance, the vote concerns the fate of Europe". In Italy, Corriere della Sera's Stefano Montefiori says Ms Le Pen's poor poll ratings mean "she had nothing to lose and so went all out, not to present her programme but to attack her opponent". Anais Ginori of La Repubblica thinks she "used the Trump strategy of alluding, insulting and confusing" in contrast with her efforts in the first debate to try to seem "calm and ready to rule". The correspondent says Ms Le Pen "appeared more spontaneous and expressive than Macron", but "largely failed in her effort to unnerve her opponent, who mocked her for consulting her notes as a sign of not knowing her stuff". In Spain, centre-right El Mundo's correspondent Anric Gonzalez was dismayed by a "violent and messy debate… that degraded both contenders". "Marine Le Pen appeared angry, as she represents the angry France damaged by globalisation and the single market… while Macron tended to get lost in the details, " he thinks, concluding that Mr Macron prevailed as the "lesser evil". In Poland's liberal Gazeta Wyborcza, Piotr Moszynski of Radio France Internationale writes that the debate was "chaotic, with Marine Le Pen constantly referring to her prompt cards, avoiding the questions, and speaking off topic," and concludes that it is "unlikely to change voter preferences". The lasting impression that many commentators took away from the debate was its unpleasant tone, and this was not lost on French viewers either. Danish state broadcaster DR1's correspondent Stephanie Surrugue reports that the "atmosphere approached the hateful… shocking many television viewers who quickly expressed their disappointment at the level and tone on social media."

The decision means Mr Sarao will remain in custody while fighting his extradition to the United States. Mr Sarao had requested that his bail conditions be relaxed, as his assets had been frozen. But Judge Ross Cranston turned down his application. "There's no substantial reassurance that this applicant is not a flight risk," he said. Mr Sarao, 36, was arrested on a US extradition warrant on 21 April after being charged with wire fraud, commodities fraud and market manipulation by the US Department of Justice (DoJ). In a bail hearing earlier this month, Mr Sarao said that he "did nothing wrong". However, the DoJ claims that Mr Sarao and his firm, Nav Sarao Futures, made £26m ($40m) illegally over five years. From the court: Andy Verity, economics correspondent, BBC news Should the so-called "flash crash trader" Navinder Singh Sarao be kept in jail for months pending his extradition hearing? On the face of it, Navinder Sarao's lawyers have some powerful arguments to make. He has been granted bail. But one of the conditions of bail, a requirement to pay £5m into court as security, is "impossible and unlawful for him to comply with". That, his lawyers say is because of a worldwide freezing order on his assets imposed by a US court. "He has no money whatsoever," his barrister James Lewis QC told the High Court today. "If it was right in principle to grant bail it must follow that conditions of bail must not amount to a denial of bail." In spite of vehement protests by Mr Lewis, Mr Justice Cranston went with the US authorities. Mr Sarao now faces the prospect of months in jail before and during the extradition proceedings, which are due to start in September and may last until the new year. A long spell to spend in jail, considering he was granted bail - though his US accusers will have little sympathy. His lawyers will now try to demonstrate that he does not have assets elsewhere. They will struggle: it's never easy to prove a negative. Mr Sarao ran the business from his parents' home in Hounslow, west London. The DoJ accuses him of using an "automated trading program" to manipulate markets, and of contributing to the flash crash of 6 May 2010. On that day, the Dow Jones index lost 700 points in a matter of minutes - wiping about $800bn off the value of US shares - before recovering just as quickly. Regulators say one of the main causes of the crash was high-frequency traders placing multiple sell orders. High-speed trading is where share dealers use computer algorithms to buy and sell stocks in milliseconds. The 19-year-old made 21 appearances in all competitions for the Blues in 2016. Last term she was named Manager's Player, Players' Player, Young Player and Supporter's Club Player of the Season at the club's annual awards. Carter made her debut for the Blues in 2013, aged 16, in the Champions League. Rooney says he went to see Ferguson, who was United manager for 26 years, after being dropped in 2013. "It's not just me who's had a fall-out with him," added the forward, 29, in Rooney - The Man Behind The Goals, to be shown on BBC One on 5 October. "I don't know what happened or why that came out that way." The England captain added: "I went in to see him and just said if you're not going to play me it might be better if I moved on - then all of a sudden it's all over the press I put in a transfer request, which I never did." Rooney did ask to leave United in October 2010 when the former Everton player pulled out of contract talks, saying he had not received "any of the assurances I was seeking about the future squad". Ferguson said at the time he was "dumbfounded" by Rooney's desire to leave but, 48 hours later, Rooney signed a new five-year deal. United went on to win the title that season, and Rooney later said staying at the club was the best decision of his career. Rooney served Ferguson for nine years, and the Liverpool-born player says that despite the rift in 2013, Ferguson was "the best manager of all time". "He was the reason why I wanted to join Manchester United, to work with him," added Rooney on how hard it was to leave boyhood heroes Everton for United in 2004. "For him to be interested in me and want me to come and play under him, there was nowhere else I was going to go." Rooney has played under four permanent England managers - Sven-Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren, Fabio Capello and current boss Roy Hodgson. "The one I've been most excited about was Fabio Capello with his record," said Rooney. Capello was in charge of the national team for just over four years and took England to the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa, where the Three Lions won just one of their four games. Asked if that period was a disappointment, he added: "It was. I just expected more. "The time I've enjoyed playing for England most was under Sven and now under Roy. "Times in between that I wasn't enjoying it as much as I should've." Before the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Rooney fractured a metatarsal bone in his right foot and was close to missing the tournament. Eriksson, England's manager at the time, reveals in the documentary that he fought with Ferguson over selecting the injured forward. "It became a fight between Ferguson and myself," said the Swede. "He just said 'don't dare to take him to the World Cup, that's it Sven... you don't take him'. "But there would have been a revolution in England if I didn't pick him. They would have thrown me into the sea." Rooney added: "Looking back, if I was to go back in time, I probably would have sat out the World Cup because it was a big ask to get fit after six weeks out." Talking further about his England career, Rooney recalled watching England's 2004 European Championship quarter-final penalty shootout defeat by hosts Portugal from a wheelchair in a local hospital after being injured in the match. "At the time, I felt like I was going to score in every game and help us win the tournament," he said. Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard reveals he went to watch Rooney play before meeting his former England team-mate for the first time. "There was a video going round of him playing for Everton's academy," said Gerrard, now at Los Angeles Galaxy. "His name kept coming up to me - 'Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney, have you seen anything of him? Have you heard of him?' "He won't know this but, I went to watch him in a game and he scored a couple of goals. He had the Scouse swagger and the Scouse attitude - I quite liked what I saw." Rooney reveals his love of poetry before meeting his future wife Coleen. "I used to love writing poems. Before I was with Coleen, just normal poems," he said. "I don't know why, I used to like writing little stories when I first got with Coleen. I used to write a lot of poems." Gary Lineker's hour-long documentary, Rooney - The Man Behind The Goals, will be shown on BBC1 on Monday 5 October at 21:00 BST. That is despite none being included in coach Gernot Rohr's squad to face South Africa in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on 10 June in Uyo. China-based strikers Odion Ighalo and Brown Ideye both miss out while captain John Mikel Obi is injured. "The season in China is still ongoing and it will be an hectic journey," team spokesman Toyin Ibitoye told BBC Sport. "Coach Rohr has decided to keep faith with the strikers he's been working with in France for almost ten days now but those players in China are still part of the squad." Also missing is Victor Moses, fresh from helping Chelsea win the English Premier League title, with reports that he is injured although no official reason has been given. "Moses has been excused by the coach," Ibitoye explained. Watford striker Isaac Success has been left out, while injury has ruled out Germany-based duo of Leon Balogun and Noah Serenren-Bazee. In-form strikers Olanrewaju Kayode and Henry Onyekuru have been handed a chance to make their competitive debuts for Nigeria. Onyekuru's 22 goals in the Belgian top flight has lead to him being linked with a move to English club Arsenal. While Kayode finished as top scorer in the Austrian league with 17 goals for Austria Vienna. Three-time African champions Nigeria have failed to qualify for the last two editions of the tournament in 2015 and 2017.

The 38-year-old appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court. He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody. A second court hearing was scheduled for next week. Mr Patterson, from Govan, is accused of struggling with PC Taylor and "repeatedly attempting to stab" him on the body with a knife. It is claimed he stabbed him on the leg with a knife "to his severe injury and did attempt to murder him". Mr Patterson faces other charges including being in possession of a metal pole and knife, and assaulting Wilson Martin. Mr Martin, 49, also appeared in private at the court charged with behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing, brandishing a hammer and challenging Mr Patterson to fight. He is also accused of being in possession of a hammer. Mr Martin made no plea or declaration and was granted bail. It is expected he will return to court at a later date. Ian Ruddock denies compressing baby Olivia's chest and rib cage, shaking her repeatedly and inflicting blunt force trauma to her head. The attacks are alleged to have taken place at the family home in Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, before the infant died in March 2011. Mr Ruddock also denies assaulting two other children and a charge that he attempted to murder one of them. The trial before Lord Bannatyne at the High Court in Edinburgh continues. The Masters stirs emotions like no other tournament, especially for players like the genial Midlander, who was making a first trip with his sat nav set to Magnolia Lane. Simply making the field is a badge of substantial honour. Of the four majors that dominate the golfing calendar, the Masters is the most exclusive. Not just in terms of its verdant setting and the ultra-select club that runs the tournament, but in the number of players eligible to play. Unlike the 156-man fields that assemble for the Open, US Open and PGA Championship, the qualification criteria for the Masters limits numbers usually to fewer than 100 players. This year, in the absence of the injured Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk, Fred Couples and Jose Maria Olazabal - and with Korea's Sang-moon Bae doing his national service - there will be only 89 competitors. Masters winners earn lifetime exemption, while the rest of the field effectively comprises PGA Tour champions, the leading 50 players in the world rankings, high finishers in majors and top amateur winners. Not only are we dealing with fewer golfers, but many of those teeing off on Thursday can be eliminated from the reckoning before they have struck a ball in anger. With apologies to Sullivan, history tells us we can strike off the 20 players making their Augusta debuts this year. Only Fuzzy Zoeller, in 1979, and the inaugural winner Horton Smith have donned a Green Jacket in their first appearance. Augusta has to be learned to be tamed. How will the teasing winds of Amen Corner answer a player's prayers in that crucial stretch that encompasses the 11th green, 12th hole and 13th tee? When to aim at flags? Where are the release points that will funnel a ball to the hole-side? Attack or defend? Crucial questions that tend to only be answered with experience. "Patience" was the word respected coach Pete Cowen used to sum up what is required. "At Augusta there's going to be some holes that just give you a slap round the ear," he told BBC Sport. "The guy that wins is probably the one that's going to make the fewest mistakes on or around the greens." Debutants also have to overcome the 'wow factor' that comes with soaking up the unique atmosphere of the place. Last week Sullivan headed down the I20 for the journey he had been anticipating since his gilded Augusta invitation fell through his letterbox at Christmas. "I've seen Augusta on the road signs a couple of times already - I'm literally counting down the miles," he told BBC Sport as he was being driven down this freeway to golfing destiny. "As soon as I arrive I'll be putting on my spikes and heading straight out there. I just can't wait." The 29-year-old, who has three European Tour victories, enjoys the big time and is not the sort of character to be daunted by this golfing cathedral. He is easily talented enough to figure on leaderboards this week, as could fellow debutants Justin Thomas, Kevin Kisner, David Lingmerth, Emiliano Grillo and Rafael Cabrero Bello. US-based Scot Russell Knox may still be waiting for his first top-20 finish this year - but Augusta may inspire the temperament that landed him the WGC title in Shanghai at the end of last year. But in terms of predicting the winner, it feels safe to discount the debutants. After all, even a talent as prodigious as Jordan Spieth couldn't quite manage the feat two years ago. And even though Leicester City top the Premier League, we can strike off the 2,500-1 shots such as former champion Sandy Lyle and his fellow 58-year-old Ian Woosnam, who will be marking the 25th anniversary of his 1991 victory. But the Masters is well known for its multiple winners, indeed the most prolific - six-time champion Jack Nicklaus - this year celebrates the 30th anniversary of his iconic 1986 triumph. Of the former winners in action there are probably only half-a-dozen contenders: Spieth, Bubba Watson, Adam Scott, Charl Schwartzel, Phil Mickelson and Zach Johnson. Rory McIlroy has a game made for Augusta but has yet to prove he can eliminate ruinous runs like his outward 40 in the second round of last year's tournament. The Northern Irishman's Masters results are improving. He was 15 under par for the concluding 45 holes to finish a career-best fourth in 2015. Yet the traits of his year to date suggest he is still prone to mistakes that cancel out those birdies that never seem in short supply. The moment he eliminates such errors at Augusta will be the time he completes the career Grand Slam. It might happen this week but that would mean bucking the trend of his winless year. Several opportunities for victories have been squandered. Media playback is not supported on this device World number one Jason Day has been more ruthless. In his last outing he beat McIlroy in the semi-finals of the WGC Matchplay en route to his second title in as many weeks. The Australian had won at Bay Hill and, after wrapping up his knockout success in Texas, hunkered down to hone his final Masters preparations. He arrives at Augusta as the reigning PGA champion, bidding for consecutive major victories. The qualities that enabled Day to make his breakthrough at the highest level at Whistling Straits last August are also among the most important requisites at Augusta. A winner of six tournaments in the past year, Day has reaped the benefits of greater accuracy in his approach play. Instead of aiming at flags on ranges, he started practising hitting into greens to take account of how the ball reacts when it lands. From 100 to 150 yards he had been no better than average but now ranks among the top 10 in strokes gained in this crucial category. Precise approach play allied to a secure putting touch are the key ingredients here. Day is the justifiable favourite but his recent successes have inspired fellow Australian Scott, who won here in 2013 and twice in Florida in March. Scott is reunited with caddie Steve Williams, who is seeking the 15th major title of his carrying career. Another who can't be ignored is Watson, the champion in 2012 and 2014. Sequentially this should be a Bubba hat-trick year, and Cowen makes the left-hander the man to beat. "You couldn't find a course more suited to Bubba Watson," he said. "So he would be your favourite almost all of the time. He's won twice, likes the course, he seems to have more patience. "You can see him a lot of other weeks; he doesn't have the patience, but he does around Augusta." The world number four has played sparingly but was champion and runner-up in his past two strokeplay events. He cannot be ignored. Neither can defending champion Spieth, who has not hit the heights of 2015 this year but is desperate not to relinquish his Green Jacket just yet. This is only his third Masters and he has yet to finish outside the top two. So Spieth, Day, McIlroy, Watson and Scott - players of golfing excellence and character - lead a cast list for what promises to be a vintage Masters. Sullivan isn't alone when he says he is buzzing. He was doing training circuits with a student in a Cessna 152 at Wycombe Air Park, on 22 May, at the time. The UK Airprox Board heard the helicopter pilot was "unfamiliar" with the airfield and air traffic control should have passed on more information. Investigators concluded the helicopter "was not at the correct height". Their report found the Cessna was travelling at 1,000ft (304m) when the pilot saw the helicopter "at the same height as his aircraft". The helicopter ought to have been approaching the Buckinghamshire airfield at 750ft (228m) at the time. Its pilot had already had to ask air traffic control to repeat the landing instructions four times before he heard them correctly. The report concluded the aircraft's "close proximity meant safety was much reduced below the norm". It also found a lack of specific instructions from air traffic control was a contributory factor to the incident. Mr Manigat won polls in 1988 that were considered illegitimate, and served for less than six months before being removed in a military coup. He ran for president in 2006, coming second. His wife, Mirlande Manigat, ran in the 2010 elections, losing to current leader Michel Martelly. Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe said his death left "a huge void" in Haiti. Mr Martelly said Mr Manigat's death was "sad news". The former academic was Haiti's first elected president after a popular revolt in 1986 overthrew President-for-life Jean-Claude Duvalier, who relied on a brutal militia to control the country. Mr Duvalier is accused of massive corruption, repression and human rights abuses. Officers said they were "treating this kind of behaviour extremely seriously". "Two males have had to be reported for indecent exposure as they thought it was a good idea to take all their clothes off to go for a swim - not a good idea," an officer wrote on the PSNI Holywood Facebook page. "There are young children in these areas too." They added: "You could end up with a criminal record and placed on the sex offenders register. "Please enjoy the weather but be sensible." Police in the North Down town also warned that they were on the lookout for people bringing alcohol to the beach, with officers patrolling the platform at Helen's Bay railway station. Glasgow City Council said it planned to put up the tax by 3% after the national council tax freeze ended this year. Council leader Frank McAveety said while the increase would raise more than £7m, the council faced a budget gap of £67m. Most councils have yet to confirm plans, with about a third indicating they may propose a 3% increase. Further details of Glasgow's budget proposals are expected later. Mr McAveety said: "Raising Council Tax will support frontline services while protecting the most vulnerable in our city. "One-in-four households will not pay a penny more - and we can avoid around £7m of the most difficult cuts, which would otherwise hit every community across the city." The average bill in the city - in the Band D category - is £1,213, compared to the national average of £1,149. All other bills are a set proportion of this figure. But changes this year mean those in bands E, F, G and H properties will automatically pay more - even before the 3% across-the-board rise is factored in. Increases are due to take effect just weeks before May's council elections. BBC Scotland's local government correspondent Jamie McIvor said: "Inevitably, close attention will be paid to decisions taken by councils in the west of Scotland where the SNP is hoping to make big inroads into Labour's council powerbase. "Privately, some Labour councillors believe they are caught between a rock and a hard place. "They argue a rise in council tax would merely limit cuts rather than end them, so they would risk asking voters to 'pay more and get less'. "However, they also believe that if they did not raise the council tax, they would be accused of failing to use the means at their disposal to at least attempt to mitigate cuts." Labour-run South Lanarkshire has said it plans to freeze bills this year but the leader of West Dunbartonshire Council has indicated a rise is likely. There have been no public declarations yet from Labour-run Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, North Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire and North Lanarkshire. The Scottish government has said more money would be available in the coming financial year for local services across Scotland. For example, there will be new money through the council tax changes and cash which will be given to headteachers to spend on schemes to raise attainment. A final decision on the council tax in Glasgow is likely to be made in February. The 21-year-old will go back to the League One side after the Gulls' match against Macclesfield on 11 January. "It's just the legalities of it really, if you do short term loans you can only do 93 days," Nicholson told BBC Devon. "He wants to go back and show Neal Ardley [AFC Wimbledon boss] he's worth a shot in their team." Nicholson continued: "He's in his last year at Wimbledon so if he signed on here for the rest of the season, which we were pushing for, he was worried he might be out of sight out of mind." Torquay are 17th in the National League and already short of players, with Aarran Racine injured, Paul Rooney's loan also coming to an end and Shaun Harrad missing for personal reasons. "You've got people like Jamie Reid who can play that (Fitzpatrick's) position, where it's not really a winger, it's more of an attacker," Nicholson added. "We're a very small squad, even with everybody available, but we'll work on that and see what we've got for Saturday." Non-league side Lincoln City, nicknamed the Imps, have beaten Premier League opponents Burnley 1-0 in the fifth round. Here about five facts about this Imp-ressive victory... They are Arsenal, Manchester City and Swansea City. The 23-year-old centre-back signed from Dover. They've reached the fifth round before, but the last time they did it was in 1902! A vote in the 15-member Council could now take place later on Friday, diplomats at the UN in New York said. The agreement breaks a two-and-a-half year deadlock in the UN over Syria. It is seen as a key step in a US-Russia brokered plan earlier this month under which Syria agreed to disclose its arsenal and eliminate it by mid-2014. Russia and China have three times blocked Western-backed resolutions in the Security Council against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The council discussed the draft resolution on Thursday evening at the UN headquarters. Moscow and Washington had earlier disagreed over the wording of the draft. The US - backed by France and the UK - had pushed for a resolution carrying the threat of military action. Russia had opposed this. The five nations are permanent veto-wielding members of the council. But a deal was struck on Thursday. The US Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, tweeted: "Agreement reached w/Russia on UNSC [UN Security Council] Resolution legally obligating #Syria to give up CW [chemical weapons] they used on their people. Going to full UNSC tonight." She added that the draft "establishes that Syria's use of CW is threat to international peace & security & creates a new norm against the use of CW". British envoy Sir Mark Lyall Grant also described the document as "binding and enforceable". Syria chemical attack: UN findings analysed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed that an agreement had been reached. Although the draft refers to Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which allows the use of military force, a second resolution authorising such a move would be needed. This is something that Russia would almost certainly veto, the BBC's Nick Bryant in New York reports. The proposed resolution also says that those responsible for the use of chemical weapons in Syria "should be held accountable". But there is no mention that they should be tried at the International Criminal Court - a significant weakening from previous drafts, our correspondent adds. Nevertheless, one senior official at the US state department described the agreement as a "breakthrough", saying the document "makes absolutely clear that failure of the Assad regime to comply will have consequences". US and Russian officials later said a vote on the proposed resolution could take place as early as Friday evening. Sources: CSIS, RUSI Western military options Media review: Mixed response Can China keep staying silent? The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) still has to signal that it has accepted the US-Russian plan agreed earlier this month. Then chemical experts can start taking practical steps towards inspecting and securing Syria's stockpiles. Washington had threatened the Syrian government with military action over a chemical weapons attack in the Ghouta area of Damascus on 21 August. A UN report on the attack published later confirmed that the nerve agent sarin had been used in a rocket attack there, although it did not apportion blame. France, the UK and US insist the report clearly backs their stance that only the government forces were capable of carrying out the attack. Russia rejects this argument. Mr Lavrov has said that Moscow has "serious grounds" to believe the attack had been a provocation by rebel forces. President Assad also says the opposition forces were to blame. More than 100,000 people have died since the uprising began in 2011. Millions of Syrians have fled the country, mostly to neighbouring nations. Millions more have been internally displaced. The midfielder scored the winning goal from a free-kick with only three minutes remaining. The visitors had come from behind, Craig Sibbald opening the scoring in the first half. Jason Cummings equalised one minute later and Hibs' perseverance eventually paid off, with Neil Lennon's side going top of the Scottish Championship. That was confirmed after overnight leaders Dundee United lost at Dumbarton later on Saturday. In driving rain and swirling wind, the game was relentlessly frantic. Neither side looked to play with an element of control, instead every bout of possession was treated as an opportunity to sweep forward. Both defences were resolute enough, so goalscorig chances had to be ground out. Brute strength was effective, and Hibs almost profited when Grant Holt barged down the left, his cross clipped over the bar from inside the penalty area by Commons. The attacking midfielder would have been further pained by his miss when the home side broke the deadlock minutes later. Aaron Muirhead delivered the ball from the right and John Baird's effort was pushed away by Hibs goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw. Sibbald was on hand to pounce, and although his first effort was also blocked by the goalkeeper, Sibbald followed up again to score. Hibs had scant regard for dwelling on their misfortune. One minute later, Commons steered the ball into the box and Cummings swept a first-time effort past keeper Danny Rogers. The interval made no impact on disrupting the tight nature of the game, with play still swinging from one end to the other in the second half. Commons, too, had cause to regret a lack of match sharpness, as he headed over and then saw another effort saved. Falkirk also threatened and Miles Hippolyte saw his effort from 20 yards fly wide, while Bob McHugh was sent clean through on goal but stabbed wide. Commons' involvement was not over, though, and when Hibs were awarded a free-kick 19 yards out, the on-loan Celtic player lashed the ball high into the net. Falkirk manager Peter Houston: "We've had a look at the goal again, it was a free-kick, but [David] Gray nudges Tom Taiwo out of the road and we should have had Miles Hippolyte in there because it goes underneath the bar. All he can do is smash it and we should recognise that and have six footers in the wall. "It's come from earlier on, when we thought the [Hibs] goalkeeper was outside his box and the video shows his feet are certainly out the box, they knock it forward and get the free-kick from that. It's disappointing to lose so late on because the best chances in the game fell to Falkirk. "I don't think there's a lot between us on the evidence of today. When you get chances against teams like Hibernian, you've got to take them. Unfortunately we didn't and we paid the penalty for that. "We have to move people on to bring anybody in. We won't go into debt again. The budget has been spent and the directors have told me that if we move people on then we can bring people in. We're not like Hibernian and Dundee United who are massive clubs with big support and can speculate a bit more." Hibernian manager Neil Lennon: "It was a difficult game. I thought we had chances to be in front comfortably. Then Kris came up with the bit of quality that we've been waiting for since he came in the door. You know, he's on the periphery of the game at times, but he sets one up and scores the other. "You can see [he's lacking match sharpness], he's been out of the game for 10 months. But if you want one man in front of a free-kick, then it's him. "You've just got to keep going and that will give the boys a huge lift, without playing great football. We played a lot better last Saturday and got a draw. We deserved [the win] over the piece and there aren't many teams who will come here and get three points." Match ends, Falkirk 1, Hibernian 2.

He's staked out policy positions - on trade, immigration and even gay rights - that have run counter to long-standing Republican positions. Now, however, he's the face of the party, and in many ways the party is bending to his will. Here are five policy areas where Mr Trump has bucked the Republican line. How has his influence on the party shaped that most tangible reflection of the party's views - the platform (manifesto) crafted here in Cleveland over the last week? And what are the chances any of these proposals could see the light of day? Where Trump stands: In the past Donald Trump has taken an accepting view of gay marriage. When musician Elton John wed his longtime partner, for instance, he tweeted: "If two people dig each other, they dig each other." During the campaign, however, he has asserted marriage should be between a man and a woman and states should not be forced to recognise same-sex couples. He's expressed opposition to the North Carolina law that required transgender individuals to use bathroom facilities corresponding to their birth gender, however. After the shootings at a gay nightclub in Orlando last month, Mr Trump directly appealed to gay voters, telling them he cared more about protecting them from anti-gay Islamic radicals than his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. Republican platform: The party is quite clear that it views "traditional" marriage between a man and a woman as "the foundation for free society", touching on it in two separate sections. It condemns the Supreme Court decision legalising gay marriage and asserts that "every child deserves a married mom and dad". The platform also accuses Barack Obama of imposing "a social and cultural revolution upon the American people by wrongly redefining sex discrimination to include sexual orientation or other categories". It calls efforts to allow transgender individuals to access single-sex facilities of their choice "illegal" and "dangerous". The rub: The Supreme Court has spoken, Democrats are drawing battle lines on LGBT rights and Mr Trump is apparently ambivalent. While the social conservatives have taken a firm stand in the platform - and they faced little opposition from Trump's team - they're likely fighting a losing battle. Where Trump stands: For Mr Trump, national security begins - continues and nearly ends - with a 2,000-plus mile impenetrable wall along the mountains, deserts and plains of the US-Mexico border. He estimates the cost of the project to be $12bn (others put it at nearly twice that). Whatever the cost, Mr Trump says Mexico will pay for it - possibly through tariffs, visa fees and the threat of ending remissions from individuals in the US. Mr Trump has also called for greater investment in the US military, saying it should be "funded beautifully". He has called into question US commitments to foreign alliances and mutual defence agreements, including with Nato and South Korea, saying that Americans are carrying too much of the financial burden. Republican platform: In past platforms, the party has called for a barrier along the US-Mexico border and increased funding for border security. Now, however, that's not enough. The wall "must cover the entirety of the southern border and must be sufficient to stop both vehicular and pedestrian traffic". The party also dusts off its traditional call for increased military spending, offering Ronald Reagan's old slogan of "peace through strength". It calls into question arms limitation treaties and says that while the US must work within international alliances like Nato, Republicans "demand" that European nations invest more in their armed forces. The rub: When it comes to boosting military spending, Mr Trump and the Republican establishment are singing from the same hymnal. The nominee's views on a border wall, however, are the previous Republican position on steroids. It's been labelled impractical and unaffordable by Democrats, who will fiercely resist the proposal. Where Trump stands: Mr Trump made international headlines last December when he called for temporarily closing the US border to all Muslims "until we can figure out what's going on". He's backed away from the position recently, however, saying it's merely a recommendation and the ban would only apply to nations with a "proven history of terrorism" against the US or its allies. He launched his campaign by roundly condemning undocumented immigration from Mexico, accusing the nation of sending drug-dealers and rapists into the US. He's also called for mass deportations of the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the US, although he has made fewer mentions of that in recent days. He's taken a position against automatic citizenship for those born on US soil and said legal immigration should be reduced. Republican platform: The party offers a tip of the hat to legal immigrants, but warns that current levels of immigration are contributing to US unemployment. The platform asserts that political, ethnic or religious refugees who cannot be "carefully vetted" should not be let into the country - "especially those whose homelands have been breeding grounds for terrorism". The party takes a firm stance against any form of normalised status for undocumented immigrants and says illegal immigration "endangers everyone, exploits the taxpayers, and insults all who aspire to enter America legally". The rub: Four years ago, many Republicans actively pressed for immigration reform, but the 2016 campaign trail is now littered with the political corpses of the pro-immigration candidates. Mr Trump clearly redefined the playing field for his party - and the November election will present voters with a sharp contrast with pro-immigration Democrats. Where Trump stands: While the party platform's position on trade is a scant five paragraphs, Mr Trump routinely condemns what he sees as "unfair" trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). His website has an entire section just covering his proposed policy changes to US-China trade. Mr Trump has said past trade deals were poorly negotiated, without protections for US workers and intellectual property - and that he would rework them to put US priorities first. He's called the TPP "the rape of our country" and suggested that US trading partners who are competing unfairly could face massive tariffs (an action that would almost certainly be penalised by the World Trade Organisation). He has also said he would punish any US companies that moved their production facilities abroad to take advantage of lower prevailing wages. Republican platform: The party - a long-time proponent of free trade deals - tries to differentiate between "carefully negotiated trade deals" that create millions of US jobs and those that do not protect US interests or are not adequately enforced. The party removed all references to the Trans-Pacific Partnership - a sharp difference from four years ago, when the platform called for its completion so the US could have greater access to Asian markets. The platform condemns Chinese currency manipulation and says the nation subsidises its products to "thwart American imports". The rub: Trade offers the best example of the revolution Mr Trump has wrought within the Republican ranks. Traditional conservatives - including many still in Congress - view free trade as an extension of their free-market worldview. Meanwhile, Mrs Clinton has backed away from past support for free-trade deals, as she confronts a rebellion within her party, as well. Where Trump stands: Mr Trump has called US foreign policy "a complete and total disaster", saying that it has "no vision, no purpose, no direction and no strategy". His proposals alternate between a more robust pursuit of US interests on the international stage while avoiding costly engagements or entanglements. He's condemned the US war in Iraq, Obama administration actions to overthrown the government in Libya and what he says is a hamstrung effort to fight the so-called Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. He's said that there will be "no daylight" between US and Israel and has pledged to reopen the "disastrous" nuclear-programme negotiations with Iran. Mr Trump has spoken favourably about Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying the two would "get along very well". When he talks about relations with China, it is almost always within the context of trade and the economy. He has said, above all, the US must be "unpredictable" with its foreign policy so that its adversaries will not be able to anticipate. Republican platform: The party says Donald Trump will not be bound by the recently concluded Iran deal, which it contends allows the nation to continue to sponsor terrorism and develop nuclear weapons. It calls for the destruction of the IS (sans specific details) and says unconditional support for Israel is "an expression of Americanism". In the Asia-Pacific region, the platform says North Korean nuclear weapons programme must be irreversibly dismantled. It accuses the Obama administration of "emboldening" the Chinese government and explains that it is taking a harder stance toward the Chinese because its liberalising policies have been reversed as part of a "return to Maoism". It condemns the "erosion of personal liberty and fundamental rights" in Russia, but says the US is "determined to maintain a friendship". The harsh condemnations of Russian involvement in Ukraine present in the 2012 platform were removed. The platform also has a few kind words for Mexico, a perennial Trump punching bag: "Their rich cultural and religious heritage, shared by many millions of our fellow citizens, should foster greater understanding and co-operation between our countries." The rub: Mr Trump's foreign policy has largely been a hodgepodge of positions, so it was somewhat unusual that his team took an active interest in watering down the platform's anti-Russian language. In other areas - where Mr Trump has expressed less direct interest - it's more traditional Republican tough talk. Business committee chairman Iain Wright told the BBC that the payment does not necessarily safeguard his knighthood. Sir Philip agreed the settlement with the regulator to help fill the failed retailer's pensions black hole. But fellow Labour MP Frank Field said the BHS saga was far from being fully resolved. Under the deal with the Pensions Regulator announced on Tuesday, former BHS workers will get the same starting pension that they were originally promised. But the protection against inflation is not as strong. Green keeps his promise on BHS pensions Filling the gaps on the High Street Mr Wright and Work and Pensions Select Committee chairman Frank Field led questioning of Sir Philip over the sale of the chain and its eventual collapse. He owned BHS for 15 years before selling it for £1 to former bankrupt Dominic Chappell. Mr Wright welcomed the pensions deal but said it "doesn't wipe the stains from his reputation clean" and the "devil is in the detail". He told BBC Radio 5 live that Sir Philip had a moral duty to right some of the wrongs committed under his watch. "It sends out a very powerful message. You might try to sell a business. You might try to flog it off on the cheap because you don't want to deal with the pension deficit, but the pension regulator said we'll come after you and we'll make you pay big money in order to safeguard the interests of pensioners and that can only be a good thing," the MP said. He said Sir Philip's knighthood was a separate issue and nothing had changed in his opinion since the House of Commons unanimously backed a non-binding motion to strip Sir Philip of his title last October. In a letter to the Times, Mr Field said: "Yesterday's out-of-court settlement will give BHS pensioners a better retirement than had previously looked likely. "This marks a really important milestone on the road to justice, but we are far from reaching the end of that road." Mr Field said the government's Insolvency Service was investigating how and why BHS went under, and at "the deals that took place between Sir Philip Green and Dominic Chappell". At the end of that process, the government had some "key decisions" to make, he added. Under the deal the Pensions Regulator said the new scheme offered benefits of around 88% of the value of their full BHS scheme. John Ralfe, the independent pensions expert, said most of the 19,000 pension scheme members will be better off then if they had had to remain with the Pension Protection Fund. "However, the 9,000 people who could take a cash lump sum would be worse off. "That's simply because however much the value is of their pension, let's say around £15,000, they will be offered a smaller amount," he said. "That is a loss to them and a gain not to the pension fund. Although, I'm not entirely clear I believe it will find its way back to Sir Philip as a refund to the £363m." He added. The Pensions Regulator says anti-avoidance enforcement action against Sir Philip and his companies will cease in light of the settlement, but action continues in respect of Mr Chappell and his firm, Retail Acquisitions. Former BHS office manager Lin MacMillan who set up a petition urging Sir Philip to "sell the yachts, pay the pensions" welcomed the deal. "I am glad to see a resolution after months of anxiety and worry for BHS pensioners. I would sum it up as saying it's not as bad as it might have been, but its not as good as it should have been." An online petition calling for Sir Philip to be stripped of his knighthood has attracted nearly 150,000 signatures. MPs backed the move in a non-binding motion in the Commons last year, but any decision would have to be taken by the Honours Forfeiture Committee. Sir Philip's contribution is significantly less than the £571m pensions deficit BHS was left with. But he said it was "significantly better" than schemes entering the Pension Protection Fund (PPF). "The settlement follows lengthy, complex discussions with the Pensions Regulator and the PPF, both of which are satisfied with the solution that has been offered," he said. "All relevant notices, including legal matters and claims from the regulator, have been withdrawn, bringing this matter to a conclusion." Hundreds of thousands of workers are on the contracts which allow employers to hire staff with no guarantee of work. Mr Miliband will tell the union organisation the contracts have been "terribly misused" in some cases. He will say he would ban employers from insisting that workers be available when there is no guarantee of work. The government has previously said it will decide this month whether to hold a formal consultation on possible changes to employment laws covering the contracts. Under Labour's proposals, zero-hour contracts requiring people to work exclusively for one business without the guarantee of adequate hours in return would be outlawed. And there would be action taken to prevent them being used for people working regular hours over a sustained period. In his address, Mr Miliband will acknowledge that more flexible working has been one of the keys of keeping people in work despite the recession. "We need flexibility. But we must stop flexibility being used as the excuse for exploitation," he will say. "Exploitation which leaves workers carrying all of the burdens of unpredictable hours, irregular pay, no security for the future. "And nowhere is that more true than when it comes to zero-hour contracts." He will add that in some situations they are "useful", such as for doctors, supply teachers or young people who work in bars. "But you and I know that zero hours contracts have been terribly misused. This kind of exploitation has to stop," he will say. "We will support those businesses and workers that want to get on in life. But we will ban practices which lead to people being ground down." He will say that to a "recovery that works for all" will only come about when "working people feel confident and secure at work". The Labour leader has asked Norman Pickavance, former director of human resources at supermarket Morrisons, to consult with businesses on how the changes could be implemented and whether the law would need to be changed to enforce them. Labour had held a summit to discuss options for clamping down on zero-hour contracts last month. Meanwhile, according to a survey of 5,000 Unite members, as many as 5.5 million people could be on the controversial arrangements. The union said its research showed there was a "growing sub class" of insecure, low paid employees earning an average of £500 a month. Dyfed-Powys Police said four officers were making enquiries at a house on Goat Street, Haverfordwest on Saturday when the incident happened. They were discharged after receiving hospital treatment. Four people are still in custody and one woman has been released on police bail. It was announced last week the 61-year-old would not be returning to the rock band after taking a break earlier this year due to an unspecified illness. "Malcolm is suffering from dementia and the family thanks you for respecting their privacy," his family told People. The band are due to release a new album, Rock or Bust, in December and embark on a world tour next year. The group said last week that "due to the nature of Malcolm's condition" Young would not feature on the new recordings or participate in the tour. His nephew, Stevie Young, will accompany the band on tour after playing rhythm guitar on the album. The news confirms rumours that the musician was suffering from the illness. The Sydney Morning Herald reported Young had been moved into full-time care at a nursing home in Sydney. According to a family friend, the guitarist could no longer remember how to play AC/DC songs. "If you were in the room with [Young] and walked out, then came back in one minute later, he wouldn't remember who you are. He has a complete loss of short-term memory," the unnamed source said. Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young formed AC/DC in 1973. The Australian band have sold more than 200 million albums, with their 1980 record Back in Black their biggest-selling hit. 27 April 2016 Last updated at 16:34 BST The aim?

Pre-tax profits for the six months to July fell by 14.7% to £81.9m and are expected to remain under pressure. Like-for-like sales at John Lewis department stores rose 3.1% during the half year, but fell 1% at Waitrose supermarkets. John Lewis chairman Sir Charlie Mayfield told the BBC that market conditions were tough. "This is a very competitive market. We're committed to having great service and great prices. And then also, we're taking steps to prepare the business for the future," he said. That would mean cutting staff numbers as part of a drive to both improve its financial position and strengthen the appeal of its "two well-loved brands". Clothing retailer Next also warned on Thursday that recent trading had been "challenging and volatile" as it reported falling sales at its shops. Operating profits for John Lewis stores fell 31.2% to £32.4m and were down 28.9% to £96.3m for Waitrose. Aldi has overtaken Waitrose as Britain's sixth-biggest supermarket chain, although its market share has risen slightly in recent months to 5.3%. The retailer has scrapped plans to open seven new Waitrose supermarkets over the next two years and booked a £25m charge relating to that decision. Retail analyst Nick Bubb described the half-year profits as "disappointing" and said he had expected the pre-tax figure to rise to about £100m. John Lewis said first-half profits were always lower and often more volatile than the second half of the year, which usually accounts for at least two-thirds of the annual total. Total sales and market share were both higher, while the EU referendum result had little impact on sales. "Instead there are far-reaching changes taking place in society, in retail and in the workplace that have much greater implications," Sir Charlie said. "Our ownership structure makes it especially important that we manage the partnership carefully and thoughtfully for the long term and our plans anticipate the impact of these bigger changes." He said the group had decided to focus its investment on IT, its distribution network and staff pay. John Lewis is an employee-owned partnership that shares its profits among its more than 90,000 staff. The group said it wanted to create "better jobs, for better performing Partners [workers], on better pay", but would spend £30m to keep pay above the minimum National Living Wage rates. In January, staff learned that annual bonuses fell for the third consecutive year to 10% of their annual salary, down from 11% in 2015, 15% in 2014 and 17% in 2013. The deficit in the partnership's pension fund also soared 54% to £1.45bn compared with the figure in January due to low bond yields. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) warned earlier this year that rising costs due to the National Living Wage could accelerate job losses in the retail sector. Sir Charlie, who is also BRC chairman, said that while retailers supported the introduction of higher staff pay, there would be an effect on employment. The UK retail sector employs three million people. That number could fall by nearly a third in less than a decade, the BRC said, as consumers increasingly shop online. Next said on Thursday that pre-tax profits fell 1.5% to £342.1m for the six months to July, held back by a 16.8% slide from its retail stores. Chief executive Lord Wolfson said: "It has been a challenging year so far, with economic and cyclical factors working against us, and it looks set to remain that way until mid-October at the earliest." The September heatwave has done little to help clothing retailers, he added: "Consumers are only buying clothes when they need to. In this weather, no one's buying winter clothes." Next repeated a warning first made last month that prices may rise up to 5% next year to offset the sharply weaker pound in a move that could hit sales further. Ghanaian Mohammed Anas, of South Africa's Free State Stars, told the BBC he was referring to his daughter. "My family knows that I call my daughter my girlfriend. That's what I was talking about. I don't have a girlfriend," he said. Anas said he was not worried about his wife's reaction. He said he was surprised how many people had watched the video. "I'm famous now - people around the world know me," the footballer said. He added he has been with his wife, who is South African, for seven years. "I love her so much. She's given me two beautiful children. She is fine. She knows what kind of man I am so I am not worried," he said. Anas made the slip of the tongue after being interviewed about his man-of-the-match performance in his team's 2-2 draw with Ajax Cape Town last Friday. In the interview, the footballer says: "Thank you very much for giving me this. And I appreciate my fans, also my wife and my girlfriend..." He hurriedly corrected himself: "I mean my wife, sorry to say. I'm sorry, my wife." The video has been viewed more than 250,000 times on video sharing platform YouTube, as well as other social media networks. A Labour government would pump £250bn into industry through a new national investment bank to "unleash" untapped potential across the country, he said. Speaking in York, Mr Corbyn said Labour's industrial strategy was "serious, comprehensive and radical". He and Theresa May will face questions later on a BBC Question Time special. But during the campaign event at York Science Park innovation centre, Mr Corbyn attempted to shift the focus of the election debate on to domestic policy, rather than the themes of leadership and Brexit favoured by the Tories. He said Labour would build an economy where "everyone shares in our country's wealth". Asked if he could guarantee that all or a proportion of the one million jobs would go to British workers, Mr Corbyn said after the speech: "They would obviously be for people looking for work. "The vast majority will be for people coming out of our schools and our colleges and our universities - and we will not allow anyone to only recruit overseas for jobs here. "They've got to recruit in an open way so that everyone gets a fair chance. "So we will not be allowing companies to import an entire workforce from overseas." Mr Corbyn said the UK needed to have a relationship with the rest of the world, adding: "We have to maintain that close connection between the universities and industries". The UK must "harness the talents... in every nation and region" and cannot "try to sustain its economy on the back of the growth of the financial sector in one corner of England". Mr Corbyn highlighted Labour plans to pump £250bn into industry through a new national investment bank and create a network of regional development banks, as well as a national transformation fund. He said years of Conservative rule have resulted in stagnating productivity, falling public sector net investment and average wages forecast to be lower in real terms in 2021/22 than their 2007/8 level. Mr Corbyn argues that the "richest have got richer" while others have seen incomes fall or stagnate under a Conservative government. But Conservative Chancellor Philip Hammond said his party had "made real progress in fixing the mess we inherited from Labour, helping businesses create 2.9 million more jobs". "Jeremy Corbyn will not create jobs, he will destroy them. His reckless plans for higher taxes and more borrowing will wreck the economy and we will all pay the price," he said. After Mr Corbyn's speech, shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey said Labour's first industrial mission would be to ensure that 60% of UK energy comes from low carbon or renewable sources by 2020. She also outlined plans to make Britain a leading innovator. Labour unveiled pledges costing £48.6bn - to be funded from extra tax revenue - in its election manifesto. The income tax rate would rise to 45p for earnings above £80,000 and then to 50p in each pound earned over £123,000. Other fundraising measures including corporation tax rises, a crackdown on tax avoidance and an "excessive pay levy" on salaries above £330,000. It also says it will borrow money to pay for future investment. The Northampton hooker caught Leinster flanker Sean O'Brien with a swinging arm during a game on 9 December. Hartley will be available to play for the Grand Slam champions in their opening Six Nations match on 4 February and is expected to be named as captain. "He's been proactive in improving his tackling," said coach Paul Gustard. Hartley was sent off for the third time in his career in the Champions Cup game against Leinster and the tightening of rules over head contact in reckless tackles came into force five days later. "He was remorseful about the tackle because he let people down," the England defence coach Gustard told BBC Radio 5 live. "Over the last six or seven weeks he's worked hard on conditioning and he's managed to address a couple of things in terms of injuries and I've done a couple of training sessions with Dylan on tackle technique. "He has asked us and he has asked Mark Hopley at Northampton for extra tackle technique. "He is proactive in doing extras post training with [fellow Northampton player] Teimana Harrison and developing so that sort of incident doesn't happen." Hartley was sent off just six minutes after coming on as a replacement for Northampton - his only game time in the last two months. Gustard said Hartley, who has won 79 England caps, would be having "a week of intense training in Portugal" where he will be "expected to do a lot of tackling". He added: "What we have seen so far he is impressing us. He has lost a bit of weight, he is looking lean and he has been working on his skills not just the tackle but throwing and other core skills. "We are looking forward to having him in. It's great to have him back in and I think he will come good in the Six Nations." Tahir Nazir, 40, from Glasgow, denies sexual assault, attempted rape and four trespass offences. Manchester Crown Court heard he was caught in a Cardiff house on September 22 "on top" of a very drunk student. On 1 November, a woman in Hulme, Manchester, said she woke to find him "licking her neck". He was arrested on 6 November after woman in a shared house in Fallowfield, Manchester, became concerned someone was trying the doors of their rooms in the early hours of the morning. The prosecution have alleged Mr Nazir has a sexual interest in undergraduates and has travelled up and down the country looking for student nights and accommodation. But Mr Nazir told the jury he decided to go on a "trip of a lifetime" by car through the UK, knowing he would have to return to Pakistan soon to see his sick father. He denied claims his trips to university towns Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Oxford, Bristol and Cardiff had a sexual purpose. He told the court he loved driving and was "inspired by Gothic architecture". He admitted having a fake university ID, which he said he used for discounts, and Viagra in his car, which he said gave him energy for clubbing. The case continues. United remain in third place behind Manchester City and Leicester - but are they betraying recent Old Trafford traditions with their conservative approach, and can they seriously expect to mount a title challenge playing in this manner? It is the question that would never even have been considered in the glory days of Sir Alex Ferguson when every United game, in a football context, contained an element of danger as they so often lived on the edge in the search for success. Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen recently explained how Ferguson felt a duty to attack. "Sir Alex was very clear on this one," Dutchman Meulensteen told the BBC. "We want to be successful, we want to win games, we want to win trophies but we have an obligation to entertain the fans." United invariably came out of the other side fuelled by Ferguson's insistence on all-out attack - but there has been growing discontent with the functional but dull style employed by Van Gaal, whose appointment was meant to clear the air after the disastrous tenure of David Moyes and bring the flourishes back to Old Trafford. Statistics back up their complaints and will only add to the growing belief that this is a United side at odds with how they are expected to play by those steeped in the club's tradition. In 14 Premier League games this season, they have scored 20 goals from 146 shots with 53 on target. Even in the misery of the Moyes season in 2013-14, they had struck 22 times after the same number of games. In Ferguson's final title winning season in 2012-13, at this stage of the campaign they had scored 33 goals from 229 shots, with 84 on target. When £36m teenager Anthony Martial announced his arrival from Monaco with a brilliant goal on his debut as a substitute against Liverpool in September and followed it up with a double at Southampton a week later, it looked like Van Gaal had added an extra dimension of excitement. Instead, the exciting young France star has had his effectiveness reduced by being moved to the wing and the impression that Van Gaal's much-touted "philosophy" simply does not chime with Old Trafford is strengthened by his use of two holding midfield players, with Michael Carrick and Bastian Schweinsteiger deployed at Leicester. Both are increasingly immobile, although the German has scored vital goals at Leicester and Watford - but it immediately hints at a defensive mindset. One, yes - but two? United, dull against PSV in midweek, were horribly narrow at Leicester and as a consequence rarely got in behind Claudio Ranieri's side. They have looked equally impotent on many occasions this season. Juan Mata was in the "number 10" position but this does nothing to address a glaring lack of pace - and with Wayne Rooney's powers diminishing, this is a United side shorn of the speed, verve and sheer adventure that their fans are used to. Van Gaal bemoaned not winning Saturday's game, but when he talked of United's "dominance" it was utter nonsense and at odds with the reality. On the evidence of this season, Van Gaal wants his side to be based on a strict structure which seems to stifle individualism, a team pattern driven by repetition on the training ground as opposed to any spontaneity. Their outstanding defensive record of conceding only 10 goals, the fewest in the league, is propping up a lack of invention and artistry their fans have come to expect. It was the 74th minute before the first cries of "attack, attack, attack" were heard from the visiting United fans. They may have to wait a while because this is simply not a side assembled to fulfil their wishes. The respected Red Devils fanzine United We Stand recently carried the headline "It's Not What You Do It's The Way That You Do It". After the goalless draw with PSV in the Champions League on Wednesday, some fans on BBC Radio 5 live called for the return of Moyes. On Saturday evening, some others tweeted me to say that even if United won the Premier League it would not be fun or memorable. Look at the table and the fans are not right to complain - look at the action (or lack of it) from their team and they have a case. Of course if United win the title or Van Gaal brings the big prizes back to Old Trafford, he will be delivering the most emphatic response possible. The problem Van Gaal has is that the standards have been set highest of all by Ferguson's reign. Even though he is the man after the man who replaced the great Scot, he is doing little to live up to the reputation given to him when he arrived in 2014 after a successful World Cup with the Netherlands in Brazil. He was the progressive coach who would restore gloss to the 'Theatre of Dreams'. The wait continues. Some may regard the complaints of United's fans as those of a support spoiled by the successes of the past. While this contains an element of truth, they are also driven by the desire to see something that at least resembles what they saw only a few years ago, especially given a vast transfer outlay. Their hopes were lifted with the arrival of Martial and Memphis Depay for a combined £67m, but one has been dragged down after a bright start and the young Dutchman has struggled to justify his fee. Van Gaal can, and will, stop the complaints by presenting United's fans with silverware - but displays like this one at Leicester, and their manager's almost farcically upbeat view of their supposed domination, does not help his case. Listen to fan Jay discuss Man Utd's loss of "identity" on BBC Radio 5 live's 606 phone-in The complaints from former Manchester United greats about their performances have been a running narrative this season and they were at it again as the action played out at the King Power Stadium. Paul Scholes has been the fiercest critic - "I keep saying it's boring, I know," said the former midfielder on Wednesday - but his old partner in success Gary Neville made a pointed comment when Jamie Vardy concluded a stunning Leicester break with his record-breaking 11th strike in successive Premier League games. "Manchester United used to counter-attack like that," was his response and there were some other telling blows delivered as the groundswell of opinion that this is a dour football team gathers momentum. Norman Whiteside, who won the FA Cup with United in 1983 and 1985, tweeted at half-time: "Please let's enjoy some Man Utd football in the second half please please :)" And Dion Dublin, who played under Ferguson, said during the game: "Manchester United haven't been brilliant. It's not the outcome, it's the way they are trying to achieve it. It's very stagnant. There are no smiles on the players' faces and Manchester United usually play with width. "But if you're not doing that, then it's not the Manchester United way for me. I'm not excited about watching them any more." Van Gaal will never win any battles, especially with United's fans, by going up against the likes of Scholes. There will be those who claim the former greats are simply living in the past, gazing at their old club with rose-tinted spectacles. The problem Van Gaal has is that they are not just shaping the opinions of United's supporters - they are echoing them. If one player epitomised the free-flowing, fearless football of Ferguson's reign, it was Ryan Giggs. He was there through all the successes with the approach of his manager and mentor driven into every fibre. So how will this symbol of United's golden era - making a club record 963 appearances and winning 34 trophies, including 13 league titles, four FA Cups and two Champions Leagues - feel as he sits alongside Van Gaal as assistant manager, watching performances that seem at odds with everything he stood for? Giggs may be Van Gaal's right-hand man but his manager has always been renowned for his dictatorial style. Does Giggs have enough significant input to try to put a more natural attacking imprint on the team? When he concluded his playing career in May 2014, he stood on the pitch at Old Trafford and addressed the fans, saying: "You have seen a glimpse of the future. We never stand still and always give youth a chance and we try to play attractive football." Giggs, who is a co-owner of Salford City with Scholes, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers - would be hard-pushed to press those claims now, and there were reports that he was frustrated that 19-year-old England Under-21 striker James Wilson was sent out on loan to Brighton this week, a player of rich promise only getting a handful of games under Van Gaal. He is very much Van Gaal's silent partner and the veteran manager's single-minded approach always begs the question about how much advice of others he will take on board - which can be a quality as well as a criticism. A penny for Giggs' thoughts would be a very interesting investment. They most certainly can - but they will surely have to rely on the failings of others rather than any deeds of their own because they currently look functional, well-organised but lacking in spark and inspiration. Champions do not need to be inspirational every week and a Premier League title will vindicate every method Van Gaal has implemented, but this does not look like a side that will win it. United have lost only two of 14 league games this season and were one goal away from going top of the table here at Leicester, so to paint this as a tale of unrelenting misery would be wrong and unfair. Van Gaal's United, however, have an image problem. Manchester United have an image and a style - and his team are not living up to it. According to Tages-Anzeiger (in German), Volkan Karagoz is among a number of Turkish diplomats seeking protection from a purge of officials. After a failed coup in July 2016, Turkey arrested or dismissed tens of thousands of suspected followers of US-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen. The Swiss migration service said it could not comment on individual cases. However, the government in Bern said this week that some Turkish holders of diplomatic passports had sought asylum. Tensions have escalated between Turkey and several European countries in recent weeks as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan tries to persuade expatriate Turks to back a campaign to extend his powers in an April referendum. The Swiss daily said that Mr Karagoz and his family had decided to seek asylum when he was recalled by the government in Ankara last month. The Swiss government says that since the attempted coup, 408 Turkish nationals have sought asylum, including a few with diplomatic passports. Officials said they could not give further details. Last month, Germany said it had received 136 requests for asylum from Turks holding diplomatic passports since the botched coup. The families of consular and embassy officials also hold diplomatic passports. A number of Turkish officers posted to Nato have sought asylum in recent months. Mr Erdogan has accused Germany of resorting to "Nazi practices" in response to the authorities' decision to cancel rallies in the country - which has a large Turkish population - involving Turkish ministers. Chancellor Angela Merkel told German MPs on Thursday that such remarks were sad, misplaced, and had to stop. "Nazi comparisons only lead to distress," she added. Mr Erdogan said on Turkish TV that he still hoped to take his referendum campaign to Turkish voters in Europe. Germany has some 1.4 million eligible voters. However, his attempt to whip up support received another blow on Thursday when a Swiss hotel in Zurich cancelled a planned appearance by Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu because it could not guarantee its guests' security. The Swiss government later turned down a request from the Zurich authorities to cancel the minister's visit to the city on security grounds. The Zurich cantonal authority said there was a risk of heavy demonstrations, but the government said in a statement that the threat was not so high as to restrict freedom of speech. Mr Cavusoglu had to address supporters in Hamburg on Tuesday from the balcony of the consul's residence when a building scheduled to host a rally was closed. The Ramadan Iftar has been organised by the Muslim community, to help feed the homeless and welcome refugees. Organisers said it was a chance to celebrate the city's communities in light of recent terror events. Darren Osborne, 47, from Cardiff, was arrested after worshippers appeared to be targeted by a man driving a van near Finsbury Park Mosque early on Monday. He was charged with terrorism-related murder and attempted murder. Cardiff councillor Ali Ahmed said: "Ramadan is about sharing, caring, supporting and donating. "We extend an invitation to anyone in the city to join us in the evening for food and friendship." Council leader Huw Thomas said: "I, like everyone I know, was deeply saddened and shocked to hear about the incident outside a mosque in London in the early hours of Monday morning and to see news reports that a man from Cardiff has been arrested in connection with this offence. "As a council, we will redouble our efforts, working with other agencies and partners, to reassure all of Cardiff's communities that they are welcome, secure and safe here." Mr Thomas added: "Cardiff has always been known as a welcoming city, a city that celebrates diversity, a city that pulls together in difficult times. It's important we pull together now and don't let hate and those who promote hate to drive a wedge between our communities. "It is a chance to show that we will not be set against each other. Cardiff has never been like that and never will be. "We have much more in common than those who would seek to drive us apart will ever realise." The Pomeranian-cross called Milo was spotted by a member of the public in water near Appley Bridge, Wigan, on Tuesday evening. The male dog, aged about five, was wearing a blue harness to which a 1.25kg exercise weight had been tied. The RSPCA said the animal - who had been in the canal for two weeks - was micro-chipped, but it was out-of-date. Inspector Johnny Brooks said: "We have not been able to establish how he died. "We are very keen to find out who owned Milo after 29 April, so we can find out how he came to be in the canal." A terrier-type dog was found in similar circumstances in Bootle, Liverpool in May, however the RSPCA do not believe that the two incidents are related. 27 May 2016 Last updated at 19:28 BST It goes out next week and BBC News NI Arts Correspondent Robbie Meredith has had a special preview. Around 200 fires have been reported, which started behind the glove-box in the heating and ventilation system. Vauxhall's recall followed an investigation by the BBC's Watchdog programme. The model affected is the Zafira B, built between 2005 and 2014. The cars are all right-hand drive, and have manual, or no air conditioning. The company said faulty repairs to the heating and ventilation system were probably to blame. In a statement from chairman and managing director Rory Harvey, Vauxhall said its initial investigations had shown "improper repair of the blower motor resistor and its thermal fuse". Among those whose Zafiras have burst into flames is Lisa Taperek, from Wiltshire. She was outside her mother's house in Wooton Bassett on Tuesday this week when she noticed smoke coming from the engine of her Vauxhall Zafira. Within 30 seconds of getting 10-month-old son Kinsley to safety the car became engulfed in flames, she said. "When I play it back in my mind and think 'if I had run into a shop, or left him in the car', it makes me quite sick. I am very lucky - he's very lucky," she said. A Facebook group set up by Zafira owners to alert other drivers has attracted more than 12,000 members. Vauxhall will now send out letters to 220,000 owners, advising them to get in touch with their local dealer. They will be offered a free inspection and repairs. Vauxhall said it had taken engineers some time to investigate the issue, as many of the vehicles they examined had been damaged "beyond investigation". It also did not want to speculate too soon about the cause of the problem. However, Mr Harvey said the company was investigating "very thoroughly and with the utmost urgency". Letters will begin to go out to owners from 12 November. In the meantime drivers were advised not to use the heating or air conditioning system. "If you have any concerns about it, don't use the heater on the vehicle," mechanic Brian Miller told the BBC. The money would have been used on a mile of the Hull to York road between Wilberfoss and Barmby Moor. But surveys showed it would cost "significantly more than originally anticipated", East Riding of Yorkshire Council said. The £6.3m will be used to relieve congestion at two roundabouts. They are well known bottlenecks with regular queues and congestion, the council said. The work will take place at Killingwoldgraves roundabout, the junction of the A1079, A1174, A1035, and at Dunswell roundabout linking the A1079, A1174 and the A1033. The money was given to the council by the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership. David Bowie: The Last Five Years reveals that the singer found out his treatment was to be stopped as he made the Lazarus music video. The documentary airs on BBC Two on Saturday - three days before the first anniversary of Bowie's death, aged 69. It covers Bowie's A Reality Tour in 2003-4 as well as the last four years of his life. Speaking in the documentary, Johan Renck, director of the Lazarus music video, said: "I found out later that the week we were shooting is when he found out that it is over... We'll end treatment or whatever capacity that means, that his illness has won." Renck said that the video, which shows Bowie in a bed with his eyes bandaged and covered with buttons, was not about the singer's illness. "To me it had to do with the biblical aspect of it, you know the man who would rise again, and it had nothing to do with him being ill. "That was only because I liked the imagery of it." Bowie's long-time producer Tony Visconti said in the documentary that the artist was "at the top of his game" when recording his final album Blackstar, released on 8 January 2016 to coincide with Bowie's 69th birthday. Bowie died two days later. Visconti added: "David had great, grand ideas. To become well known, famous, for him was initially to have the resources to realise what his ideas were. "He really does come from that spirit, he just didn't want to be famous per se." Directed by Francis Whately, the documentary is a follow-up to David Bowie: Five Years, which was broadcast in 2013. David Bowie: The Last Five Years airs on Saturday 7 January at 9pm on BBC Two. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Again De Bruyne led a clinical counter after the break, finding Samir Nasri, who put Aguero clear to finish smartly. Thibaut Courtois was sent off for fouling Fernandinho, allowing Aguero to whip home his third from the spot. Look back on City's win at Stamford Bridge. Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea threatened occasionally before the goals but faded and City move third, a point ahead of Arsenal - who have a game in hand - and four clear of Manchester United. When this fixture was scheduled last year, it seemed unthinkable that only one of these sides - the last two winners of the Premier League - would be battling for a top-four spot. They have both underachieved, but City at least have targets as the season draws to a close and they were clearly sharper in west London, none more so than Aguero. The Argentinian has now scored at least 20 goals in three Premier League seasons, a feat only achieved by Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Les Ferdinand. There can be little doubt City's season has gained a new lease of life in recent weeks and it is notable it has coincided with the return of De Bruyne from a lengthy injury lay-off. Both he and Samir Nasri drew saves from Courtois in the opening period and it was De Bruyne who always looked likely to turn defence into attack for the away side. When the Belgian suffered knee-ligament damage in January, City were second in the table, three points behind leaders Leicester. They managed just two wins in seven league games without him and one wonders how close they would be to lifting the title now had he stayed fit. He has now had a hand in 28 goals this season - scoring 15 and creating 13 - and encouragingly for manager Manuel Pellegrini with a Champions League semi-final to come, his relationship with the clinical Aguero looks sharper than ever. Aguero, who now has 13 goals in 12 league games, will deservedly make headlines. But in De Bruyne, he once again has a support act boasting pace and guile in abundance. Could it be that the enforced rest through injury has left him fresh to do damage at the business end of the season? Perhaps only a loss of focus in fixtures either side of their two-legged Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid could prove destructive. But Pellegrini said afterwards that "it is another team" with everyone fit and with the likes of Fabian Delph, Wilfried Bony and Bacary Sagna on the bench, they look to have options for when fixtures mount. A trip to Southampton comes between the Madrid fixtures, with the visit of Arsenal arriving four days after the second leg. Captain Vincent Kompany should be fit for fixtures next week and even without him City were solid. Going forward they were blistering when they needed to be and having conceded just two goals in six league games, their base looks solid. Another tilt at Europe looks likely. Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea are seemingly in limbo while they await the arrival of their next manager - Antonio Conte. Since announcing his appointment on 8 April they have lost both league fixtures, ending a 15-game unbeaten run and also interim manager Guus Hiddink's proud record of not losing two league games in a row since he was in charge at PSV Eindhoven in 2004. This wasn't a performance where the Blues had clearly downed tools - they had an early Pedro effort cleared off the line and Ruben Loftus-Cheek went close twice - it just lacked killer instinct and a desire to finish any good work. There are questions to be answered at Stamford Bridge. A 10th-straight home game without a clean sheet equals a run set in 1970. But unwanted records aside, just how did a side that eased to the Premier League title last May end up with nothing to play for by this stage of the season? Will such a collapse lead to a Conte clear out this summer? On this showing, there was an evident gulf in class with a side not even competing for the title. Courtois' dismissal summed up a miserable day with fans already on their way to the exits but he could have few complaints having been rounded by Fernandinho. Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink: "Chelsea are a difficult situation this season. We managed to get out of the relegation zone but Chelsea need to be in the first four places. We were knocking on the door but we didn't create open chances. They outplayed us on 60-70 yard counters. Man City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "I am satisfied with the team, they played well in attacking and defending. When all the players are fit and playing together, it is another team. I wanted revenge for the FA Cup defeat when we played here with a young team and they beat us. Tonight was a complete game." Chelsea, now playing for just a top-10 finish, go to Bournemouth in a week while Manchester City go to relegation-threatened Newcastle on Tuesday. Teenage paceman Conor McKerr took 5-87 in just his second first-class game for the visitors as Northants were all out for 218, Rob Newton (67) top scoring. The innings also saw Derbyshire all-rounder Luis Reece taken to hospital as a precaution after breathing problems. Derbyshire reached 153-6 at the close with Alex Hughes unbeaten on 50. Reece managed to bowl four overs before complaining of difficulties and did not return to the ground to open the batting. He is to be kept in hospital overnight as a precaution. Meanwhile, Northants wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Rossington has been ruled out of action for three weeks after fracturing his left hand in last week's win over Durham. Former Derbyshire man Chesney Hughes, who appeared for Northants in that Championship game against Durham, was included in Northants' team for the visit of Derbyshire as he continued his casual contract. When Doctor Who was born, at 17:15 GMT on 23 November 1963, the headlines were dominated by the assassination the previous day of US President John F Kennedy. And the shock events in Dallas, Texas, eclipsed coverage of the deaths of writers CS Lewis and Aldous Huxley, also on 22 November 1963. While that first trip though the doors of the Tardis may have had echoes of entering Narnia in Lewis' The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, it was the world-changing events of the previous decades that helped shape early Doctor Who. "It is very much part of the post-[World War Two] era," says Graeme Burk, co-author of the book Who's 50 - The 50 Doctor Who Stories to Watch Before You Die. "The science fiction of Doctor Who was very influenced by the post-war sci-fi of Brian Aldiss and John Wyndham and, to a lesser extent, CS Lewis. The latest on the 50th anniversary celebrations Doctor Who website "Early stories like The Daleks were written by people who grew up under the threat of Nazism and war." The very first Doctor Who story, An Unearthly Child, saw the Doctor and his companions transported through time to the Stone Age where they encountered a tribe that had lost the secret of fire. "There's dialogue about how fire is necessary but at the same time viewed as a threat by certain members of the tribe," says Burk. "That story came about a year after the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, so you can't help but see a metaphor for atomic weapons as things which could bring benefits or mass destruction." The next story, The Daleks, introduced Doctor Who's most famous monsters. The Tardis lands on the planet Skaro in the aftermath of a neutron war where two races survive - the Daleks, mutated creatures inside metal casings, and the pacifist Thals. Coming less than 20 years after the end of World War Two, the allegorical reference to atomic warfare is not hard to spot, and many commentators draw parallels between the Daleks and the Nazis. "The Cold War and WW2 come together in that first visitation from the Daleks," says Dr Graham Saunders, of the department of film, theatre and TV at the University of Reading. "It's become a cliche that the Daleks are the Nazis. You could turn it on its head and argue that they all think the same way, so they are Communistic as well - they are both echoes from the war and the threat of the Red Terror." The WW2 influence is even stronger in the second Dalek story, 1964's Dalek Invasion of Earth, set in the 22nd Century. The story presents a vision of what things would have been like if Germany had won the war, says Mark Campbell, author of Doctor Who: The Complete Guide. "Although it's set in the future the costumes and scenery is really 1940s-50s England. There are banners up everywhere and the Daleks do Nazi salutes. The images would have been very resonant to those who fought in the war." When writer Terry Nation revisited the early history of Skaro in 1975's Genesis of the Daleks (with Tom Baker's fourth Doctor), the Nazi references were far more explicit. Scientist Davros is intent on creating a master race while the military elite seek to exterminate the Thals. As Dr Saunders notes, when Davros rants about racial supremacy in his underground lair it's like "Hitler raving in the bunker". Just as the 2013 Doctor Who story The Bells of Saint John featured new London landmark The Shard, the 1966 story The War Machines saw William Hartnell's Doctor visit the Post Office Tower (now the BT Tower) - which had officially opened the previous year. The tower contains Wotan, a super-computer that creates an army of intelligent, armed mobile machines in order to take over the world. The story tapped into the topical debate about technological progress. "I think Doctor Who is always more interesting when it's commenting on issues that are just bubbling under," says Dr Saunders. "The War Machines is a story in which computers go mad and produce these war machines. It's The Terminator way before its time. "The old Doctors were always sceptical of computers. In The Ice Warriors (1967) the Doctor does all the calculations himself - he doesn't trust computers . Although in new Doctor Who he seems much more comfortable with them, which says something about our age. "In old Doctor Who up to the 1970s computers were these huge disembodied things with wheeling tapes, often with malign purpose." The War Machines were based on an idea by Dr Kit Pedler, Doctor Who's unofficial scientific adviser, who went on to create the show's second most popular villains, the Cybermen. Making their first appearance in William Hartnell's final story, 1966's The Tenth Planet, the Cybermen were humans who had replaced their body parts with artificial organs. Graeme Burk: "At that point organ transplants were coming in and Kit Pedler saw the next step as artificial transplants, so the Cybermen were very much created out of a response to that idea." Just over a year after this story was broadcast, in December 1967, the first human heart transplant was carried out by Dr Christiaan Barnard in South Africa. In the early 1970s, Doctor Who stories often reflected topical events such as the energy crisis (when oil-producing countries stopped exports to West), ecological concerns, industrial strife and terrorism. In Jon Pertwee's second story, The Silurians (1970), a hibernating reptile race is awakened by tests on a new underground nuclear reactor. Later the same year, Inferno centred on a drilling project that releases a gas that turns people into werewolf-like creatures. The Curse of Peladon, in 1972, mirrored a major political story at the time. Pertwee's Doctor and companion Jo Grant arrive on the planet Peladon, whose king wants it to join the Galactic Federation, but his high priest opposes the union, claiming it will strip Peladon of its independence. At the time the story was broadcast, British Prime Minister Edward Heath was in negotiations for the UK to join the European Economic Community (EEC). The metaphor may have been clear to adult viewers, but it would have gone over the heads of most children. "It's actually an Agatha Christie whodunnit and it still works if you take away the stuff about going into the federation," says Mark Campbell. "It's a story with lots of monsters." A return visit to the same planet in 1974's The Monster of Peladon was influenced by the miners' strikes of the period. The moderates and militants among the miners on Peladon allude to the real-life rift within the leadership of the National Union of Mineworkers. Eco-concerns, and the rise of groups like Friends of the Earth, were addressed in 1973's The Green Death, in which giant maggots emerged from the industrial effluent produced by Global Chemicals. Dr Saunders detects the "shadow of Northern Ireland" in stories such as the Day of the Daleks (1972), which featured "terrorists" from the future, and Invasion of the Dinosaurs (1974) with armed troops on the streets - images which were familiar in news bulletins at the time. Moving to the 1980s, the Colin Baker story Vengeance on Varos came shortly after the Video Recordings Act 1984 was passed in the wake of the press furore about "video nasties". In the story, the poverty-stricken people of Varos are kept entertained by screenings of public torture. Mark Campbell calls it a "problematic story" because while it satirises on-screen violence as public entertainment, one episode contains a scene in which the Doctor delivers a quip after seeing a guard die horribly in an acid bath. "I think the story says more about the power of television than the so-called video nasties," he adds. Since its 2005 reboot, with Russell T Davies as show runner (2005-2010), the new series of Doctor Who hasn't shied away from political references ripped from the headlines. In the episode World War Three, where aliens The Slitheen have invaded 10 Downing Street, there is a reference to "massive weapons of destruction" which can be deployed in 45 seconds. "It's not hard to see that's a comment on the Iraq War," says Campbell, referring to the September 2002 dossier which became notorious for its suggestion Iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes. The first David Tennant story, The Christmas Invasion, contains a scene which echoes former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's decision to sink the General Belgrano during the Falklands conflict in 1982. Penelope Wilton's prime minister orders the destruction of a retreating alien spaceship, a decision condemned by the Doctor. Graeme Burk detects fewer overt political references in the Matt Smith era of the show, with Steven Moffat in charge. "Steven Moffat is a very different animal to Russell T Davies, who is a very political writer," he says. "Moffat is more about taking something in the real world and making it scary or magical." If Amazon chief Jeff Bezos were to go to Iran today, he would find a lot that looks very familiar. Digikala is an Amazon-style Iranian company offering free, same-day delivery of digital gadgets. Set up by brothers Hamid and Saeed Mohammadi, it's the country's sixth most visited website, with a staff of 900 and about 850,000 visitors every day. "Eight years ago, digital cameras were all the rage," says Hamid. "My brother and I were looking to buy one, but we couldn't find a single Farsi review online." They ended up buying a camera locally only to discover that the lens wasn't genuine. "It got us thinking - what if there was a site where you could read all the reviews and reliably buy the product?" That initial experience led to the creation of a company that combines an online retailing arm with a review site similar to CNet, the US technical review giant. "We have our own studio and a 100-strong content team," says Hamid. "They test the products and shoot and edit reviews for our Digikala TV." In many ways Digikala has benefited from what Prof Nader Habibi, of Brandeis University, in the United States, calls the empty playground caused by sanctions "Companies who rely on foreign trade and imports were harmed the most [by sanctions]," he told the BBC. "But for domestic digital companies sanctions just kept out reputable brands like Amazon and Google. It actually gave them an opportunity to raise their market share." In 2014, the World Startup Report, a US-based organisation that monitors new online businesses, valued Digikala at $150m (£100m). Today, the company says it is worth more than $500m. Despite the damage that sanctions have done to the Iranian economy overall, Digikala has no shortage of customers willing to spend big money on items like top-of-the range smartphones. For Hamid, this is no contradiction. "Iran has one of the youngest, most highly educated populations in the region," he says. "For them, technology isn't a luxury. It's the fabric of their lives. They will get it, even if it is difficult to afford." Source: World Startup Report 2014 Digikala is just one of many internet companies that have sprung up in Iran, taking advantage of a huge spike in internet use over the past two years. Another popular site is Cafe Bazaar, an Android app store that now has an 85% market share, serving Iranians Google could not reach because of sanctions. Its bestselling list includes both the globally popular Clash of Clans and locally developed games such as The Bike, which sends up Tehran's notoriously risk-taking motorcyclists. Takhfifan is a successful Iranian clone of Groupon, offering everything from discounted restaurant deals to spa days and theatre tickets. On Fidibo, Iran's answer to online book retailer Kindle, recent bestsellers have included George Orwell's 1984, several books by Stephen Hawking, a biography of Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, and US President Barack Obama's autobiography, The Audacity of Hope. And then there's Maman-Paz (meaning "Cooked by a Mum"), which connects hungry office workers to housewives selling home-cooked meals. The appearance of sites such as these means many Iranians now live their lives between two parallel worlds - the cyber-universe of gadgets, gaming and high-end consumerism, and the more familiar Iran of ultra-conservative clerics, public executions and anti-Western slogans. The other official Iran is still very much in existence of course, but it no longer has sole control over the narrative, says sociologist Hossein Ghazian, a former adviser to ex-President Mohammad Khatami. "In Iran you used to have the hegemony of a central official culture," he told the BBC. "Not any more." Iran's National Internet Development Centre says internet penetration now stands at 73%, making Iran one of the biggest internet users in the Middle East. Young Iranians in particular are so connected to the world, that they are now "the least anti-Western oriented" people in the region, says Prof Fawas Gerges, of the London School of Economics. It's a sign of how things are changing that many conservative politicians are now turning to social media to get their message across to the younger generation. Twitter and Facebook may still be blocked in Iran, but that doesn't stop the country's top brass, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, from regularly using both sites. "The conservatives' use of these new platforms is not without consequence," says Hossein Ghazian. "In order to use them, they have to change themselves. They have to carve themselves and their message so that they can fit into this new world. It will subconsciously change them." In a conservative, authoritarian country such as Iran, entrepreneurs are obviously taking risks and pushing boundaries by running Western-style online businesses. In interviews they are careful to steer well away from politics, but there are signs that the tide is beginning to turn. "When 4G first came, it was supposed to be forbidden," says Digikala's Hamid Mohammadi. "But now, increasing bandwidth is the government's top priority and 4G is everywhere. "The internet," he pauses, "...is doing its own thing." Scarlets were already out of semi-final contention but went ahead as Tom Williams crossed after Ben Foden's try. Jamie Gibson and Michael Paterson touched down just before half-time as Saints began to take control. Harry Mallinder, Ken Pisi and James Fish all scored tries for the hosts after the break as they seized victory.

Seating Matters distributes its chairs across the world to help people with comfort and postural support. The business, which started up in 2006, already employs 125 people in Limavady, America, Canada and Australia. The new jobs will be full time and permanent. Managing Director Martin Tierney said: "We will be expanding our work force and we will be recruiting people for various roles in the new year." Andrew Holland, 24 of Campbell Avenue, Blackpool, collided with three-year-old Lucie Wilding as she stepped out of her front gate. Holland was ordered to pay £829 in fines and costs by Lancaster magistrates. Footage captured on the family's CCTV camera was played to the court. The child suffered scrapes, bruises and bumps to the head and her parents said she is still suffering from anxiety. Lucie's mother, Lauren Howarth, said: "There was just blood all down the side of her face and she was just screaming, just screaming. "It was awful. All she was doing was just stepping outside her front gate. Never for one minute would I ever think that a cyclist would hit my daughter on the pavement." Leaving court Holland said he had written to the family to apologise, a claim denied by Lucie's parents. CNN said Venezuelans would now be able to access its information without charge on the internet. Venezuela's National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) accused CNN of "defaming and distorting the truth". The accusation came after CNN broadcast a report on alleged passport fraud at the Venezuelan embassy in Iraq. The report alleged that Venezuelan Vice-President Tareck El Aissami was directly linked to the granting of 173 passports, including to members of the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is designated a terrorist group by the US and other Western powers. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez gave a news conference on Wednesday in which she dismissed the allegations. She accused the whistleblower behind them of being an "agent in the service of international intelligence agencies" and of having links to Venezuelan opposition groups. The ban on the US news channel comes at a time of rising tension between the United States and Venezuela. On Monday, the US treasury department sanctioned Vice-President El Aissami for allegedly trafficking drugs. In its statement, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) described him as a drug "kingpin" who worked with traffickers in Mexico and Colombia to ship drugs to the US. Mr El Aissami accused the US of imperialist aggression. Tension rose further late on Wednesday when US President Donald Trump posted a photo of himself in the White House meeting Lilian Tintori, the wife of jailed Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez. Mr Lopez is serving a 14-year jail sentence for inciting violence at mass protests in 2014. Mr Lopez, who leads the Voluntad Popular (Popular Will) party says the sentence was politically motivated. Before the tweet, President Maduro had said: "I don't want problems with Trump". But after the tweet was posted, Foreign Minister Rodriguez wrote on Twitter that she rejected "the meddling and aggression of US President @realDonaldTrump who tries to give orders in our fatherland". She also tweeted that President Trump had "sided with the boss behind violent acts" while President Maduro had proposed "initiating a new era of respectful relations" between the two. Mexico agreed to transfer Guzman in May after the US guaranteed he would not face the death penalty. But the ruling means it could be months or even years before he is sent to the US, where he faces murder and drug smuggling charges. Guzman is being held in a maximum security prison near the US border. He was arrested in January after six months on the run following his escape through a tunnel in his jail cell. He had already escaped a maximum security facility once before, spending 13 years at large. One of the appeals argues that the statute of limitations has run out on some crimes Guzman is accused of in the US, his lawyer Jose Refugio Rodriguez told Associated Press. Guzman's defence also argues some of the accusations lack direct evidence. West Yorkshire Police said the bodies - believed to be two women and a man - were found in the East End Park area of the city after officers were called shortly before midday. The force said there appeared to have been a small fire at the property. Acting Detective Inspector Mark Atkinson said: "We believe the deaths are likely to have occurred in the early hours of Saturday". He said: "We would like to hear from anyone who has seen the occupants of the address on Friday." A cordon is in place at the address in East Park Street and police remain at the scene. Post-mortem examinations are due to be carried out to establish a cause of death, the force said. And for many struggling in the weather in this East Midlands city, working out the referendum repercussions made heavy weather. "England may well lose out. We'll be worse off," one shopper told me. I went to Leicester to gauge reaction to the Scottish referendum decision to stick with the UK. There was an early sign among some that it may carry a big political price. "They've got their parliament, but we haven't. That's just not fair," I was told in no uncertain terms by another local. She wanted a parliament for England and more powers for her city. So in English cities like Leicester, the debate is already under way about any post-referendum powers. Leicester City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said any deal should include giving city halls the ability to raise tax. "We should have the same range of powers to raise revenue as our continental cousins and our American friends," the Labour mayor said. "That will enable us to re-empower local democracy. This is a wonderful opportunity for us in the cities to be able to govern ourselves." The prime minister has already hinted at devolution for English cities. "It is also important we have wider civic engagement about how to improve governance in our United Kingdom, including how to empower our great cities," said David Cameron in his Downing Street statement. "And we will say more about this in the coming days." It will now be up to English MPs to start to shape it all. But Leicester South MP Jon Ashworth said it's important not to rush ahead of public opinion. "I've got views on having more powers for cities like Leicester, Nottingham and Derby and the county councils, but we have really got to listen to what people in the East Midlands want," the Labour MP told me. "We've got to think carefully about this and not have David Cameron in Downing Street telling us what we are going to have." Government minister and Broxtowe MP Anna Soubry is also cautious, but for other political concerns. "We have (Labour) one party states in cities like Leicester and Nottingham, and just look at the things they have done. "I don't believe they are inclusive. And they don't represent the views of all of the people of the city," she said. "I'm not in favour of regional devolution. Labour tried that and it was a disaster. But I accept there is a good argument for cities and our shire county councils to have more powers, and these are the discussions we now need to have," she added. Even before the political dust from the referendum vote has settled, the debate over the extent of devolution for our English cities has begun already. The sexualised games were part of a forfeit during an orientation camp, according to the reports. Students, who said they felt pressured to take part, were also asked to answer a range of personal sexual questions. NUS promised "strong disciplinary action" against anyone responsible. "NUS does not condone any behaviour or activity that denigrates the dignity of individuals," it said in a statement on Tuesday. "These activities are neither approved nor endorsed." The university said students were meant to feel "safe, secure and respected" at all times and it was "very disappointed" that such activities had surfaced. The optional student-run orientation camps are designed to welcome first-years and integrate them into university and campus life. But students speaking to news outlet the New Paper (TNP) said they had felt pressured to take part in increasingly sexualised activities. One of the forfeits allegedly required a pair of male and female first-year students to re-enact a rape scene between a young man and his younger sister. "The girl had to lie on the floor, and the guy... then kicked open her legs and did push-ups while lying on top of her," Kim, a 19-year-old student told TNP. "The girl looked very uncomfortable and covered her face throughout the whole thing." "It's high time this issue is underscored and something done of it," an NUS student who attended an orientation camp for two days told the BBC. "Those who argue that people should just 'lighten up' miss the fundamental point about basic respect." The student added that there were "cheers with crude references to male genitalia" involved in the camp that he attended. However, Olivia Azali, an NUS graduate student said there were no such activities involved in the camp she attended as a first-year student. "There was nothing as gross," she said. "Ours was pretty mild." Reports of inappropriate activities at freshman camps at various universities surface each year in Singapore. In 2014, NUS made headlines after complaints that a male student was stripped to his shorts before being blindfolded and bound with tape, as female students licked whipped cream off his neck. The university took the top spot in the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings published this year. Last Monday, Venezuela deployed 17,000 troops along the border and began closing all the crossings at night. The one-month ban will be lifted in mid-September. Before the restrictions, up to 40% of goods Venezuela subsidises for its domestic market were being smuggled into Colombia, the authorities said. The goods were being sold illegally in Colombia at much higher prices. More than 20,000 litres of fuel have been seized from alleged smugglers in the past eight days, the Venezuelan authorities said. Venezuela, a major oil producer, has the cheapest petrol prices in the world. It costs less than $1 (£0.60) to fill a medium car's tank. It estimated, before the operation was launched, that 100,000 barrels of petrol were smuggled through its western border every day and sold illegally in Colombia. "The amount of staples smuggled to Colombia would be enough to load the shelves of our supermarkets," Gen Efrain Velasco Lugo, a military spokesman, told El Universal newspaper. "Those mafias are making a final, desperate attempt to get hold of them. But we are fighting them and vigorously tackling smuggling in the region." The Venezuelan military said it has also destroyed or partially blocked 64 paths used by smugglers to cross the porous 2,200-km long (1,360-mile) border. Dissatisfaction with the shortage of many staples, as well as rampant crime and high inflation, led thousands of people in the western Venezuelan states of Tachira and Merida to take to the streets in January. The protests quickly spread to the rest of Venezuela, which faces similar problems. The opposition blames what it says are the failed left-wing policies of the past 15 years - initiated by late President Hugo Chavez - for the country's economic crisis. Correction 11 September 2014: This report, originally published on 19 August, contained a reference to the border closure being agreed by the two countries, based on statements by Venezuelan officials. This has been removed as Colombia later called it a "unilateral decision". Flats at the old Penarth Heights estate in the Vale of Glamorgan will be flattened to make way for a new development. The site, which has sweeping views of Cardiff Bay, has become a target for vandals and squatters. The new housing development is expected to be completed by 2017. Developer Crest Nicholson said the demolition will take 20 weeks. Managing director Tim Beale said: "Every effort will be made to ensure the demolition is undertaken in a manner that minimises disruption to the local community." The estate was a bustling community in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and will now be replaced by more than 370 town houses. It was once voted Wales' ugliest eyesore, and has been a target for arsonists and vandals in recent years. Leader of the council Gordon Kemp said the new development will "enhance" that area of Penarth. "The Billybanks was an award-winning development, but times have moved on," he said. "I think it will be a very good thing for thing for the town." He starts with the opening games in each group, which include England v Russia, Wales v Slovakia and Northern Ireland v Poland. Lawro also picks his two teams to automatically go through from each group into the knockout stage, and his six teams which will finish bottom and definitely go home (four of the six third-placed teams also go through to the last 16). You can make your own predictions and take on your friends and other fans using the BBC's Euros Predictor. Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. France are my pick to win Euro 2016. Home advantage will be massive for them and they are so strong in midfield and attack. I would be even more confident if they were a little bit better defensively but if you look around the competition, there are not too many teams capable of winning it who are very good at the back. There are some good defensive teams, including Romania, who conceded the fewest goals in qualifying - two goals in 10 games - but they are not going to win it. I am at Stade de France for this game and, usually, the opening game of any tournament is not great. It will be tough for France to break Romania down but I think they will do it in the end. Albania are another team who are very defensive minded and Switzerland must find a way of breaking down what is likely to be a 5-4-1 formation. But goals were not a problem for the Swiss when they came through qualifying in the same group as England, and I don't think Albania will keep them out either. Lawro's pre-tournament picks - Going through: France and Switzerland Third place: Romania Going home: Albania I saw Slovakia draw with the Republic of Ireland in Dublin in March and they were hopeless. But my fellow BBC pundit John Hartson watched them beat Germany in Augsburg a few days ago and he said they were very good. I am a little bit worried about Wales because they have not won for four games since they beat Andorra at the end of their qualifying campaign in October. So, I am going to go for a draw, mainly because I am not sure what to expect from Slovakia. I have heard a lot about England's prospects in their opening game but not many people have mentioned the searing heat that this game could be played in - it could hit 30C in Marseille. The temperatures will not be good for Russia either and I think, as far as the game is concerned, they will just sit in. Russia have got aging centre-backs in Sergei Ignashevich and Vasili Berezutski - who have a combined age of 70 - and they will stay deep, especially if Jamie Vardy starts for England. It might turn into a frustrating evening for Roy Hodgson's side, but I do not see them being beaten. Lawro's pre-tournament picks - Going through: England and Russia Third place: Wales Going home: Slovakia I have seen Poland play a few times because they were in the Republic of Ireland's group, and they are a real threat. Everyone always goes on about Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski but there is a lot more to them than his finishing ability, and the speed at which they attack makes them very dangerous. Northern Ireland make things difficult for every team they play and are on a 12-game unbeaten run, but I see that ending here. This is another game between one team - Germany - with defensive issues and another - Ukraine - who are strong at the back. Ukraine were extremely difficult to break down in qualifying but their shortage of goals meant they had to come through the play-offs. Germany have had some mixed results in their warm-up matches but I am expecting a big improvement from the world champions once this tournament gets started. Lawro's pre-tournament picks - Going through: Germany and Poland Third place: Ukraine Going home: Northern Ireland I was impressed with the way Turkey played in their friendly defeat by England at the end of May. They have some promising young players who seem to be improving quickly. But I am backing Croatia to begin with a win. If and when they get out of their group, nobody will want to play them in the last 16 because they look like a very good side. Czech Republic play some nice football and will be easy on the eye but I do not see them causing Spain too many problems. The defending champions have got a decent chance of a third straight triumph but their team is not as strong as the one that won Euro 2012. Lawro's pre-tournament picks - Going through: Croatia and Spain Third place: Turkey Going home: Czech Republic All eyes will be on Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic but I think he will struggle to breathe against the Republic of Ireland. Sweden will see a lot of the ball but the Republic are absolutely brilliant at stopping the opposition from playing and they will be all over Ibrahimovic. The Republic will look to threaten with set-pieces, although I don't see them scoring either. Italy are missing a number 10, looked laboured in qualifying and probably do not know their best formation but, like Germany, they are a tournament team and will get out of their group. I am expecting bigger things from Belgium than we saw at the last World Cup, when they reached the last eight. Belgium have some fantastic individual players but I am still not totally convinced yet that they will come together as effectively as a team. Lawro's pre-tournament picks - Going through: Belgium and Italy Third place: Sweden Going home: Republic of Ireland Austria were unbeaten in qualifying and did not lose a game. Even so, I am not sure they have got enough goals in their team to reach the latter stages in France. I think they will get out of their group easily enough, though, starting with a win over a Hungary side that sneaked here through the play-offs and look short of quality. I was impressed by Portugal in their friendly against England, especially considering they were without Cristiano Ronaldo. With him back, they will be a real threat and, looking at the opposition, Ronaldo could have four goals by the end of the group stage. Iceland are another team who have done well to qualify but I don't see them stopping him. Lawro's pre-tournament picks - Going through: Portugal and Austria Third place: Hungary Going home: Iceland He told the BBC that as a child, he had watched Mr Lee cry on television as he announced one of the country's most traumatic moments: its separation from Malaysia in 1965. "It's a sad day for all Singaporeans. I lived in the era where he built Singapore, and I've seen it progress," said the 58-year-old. For Sayeed Hussain, who brought his two teenage children to pay respects before they headed off to school, Mr Lee's legacy was social harmony. "He did a lot for us, helped to shape a multi-racial and multi-cultural Singapore," he said. Mr Lee was a towering figure in the lives of many Singaporeans, leading a team that transformed Singapore to a rich, stable country. He has also been strongly criticised for his human rights record, his ruthless pursuit of political opponents and views on race and genetics. But in the immediate hours after his death, few Singaporeans were willing to touch on the more controversial aspects of his legacy. Even opponents, such as politician Chee Soon Juan who was sued for defamation by Mr Lee, expressed only condolences. Low Thia Khiang, the leader of Singapore's main opposition party in parliament, Workers' Party, said Mr Lee's contribution would be "remembered for generations to come". Online and offline, the country mourned. Radio and television played tributes and downbeat music, newspapers darkened their mastheads, digital billboards were blanked out, and television stations ran tickers announcing his death. On Facebook, people turned their display pictures to stylised icons mourning Mr Lee. By mid-morning, several residents of Lee Kuan Yew's Tanjong Pagar constituency had arrived at the local community club to pay their respects. As a boy growing up in the area, L Kalaiselvan, 57, attended many of Mr Lee's election rallies. "When it would be his turn to speak, it was like a bull or a lion charging onto the stage. His voice was so commanding. You felt like you were in safe hands," he said. Many also showed up at the iron gates of the Istana, the compound housing the president's official residence and the prime minister's office. Officials had set up a tented booth with boards where people could post messages. They came, young and old, bearing bouquets, cards and solemn expressions. Some stayed behind to read what others had written, and several had tears in their eyes. "We've never had a leader who worked so tirelessly for us. He sacrificed a large part of his life for the country," said Carolyn Chia, 40. Among the older Singaporeans who spoke to the BBC, there was an anxiety that younger citizens would forget Mr Lee's legacy, and the hardships that earlier generations had faced, and grow complacent. "He was our founding father, he gave us government housing and education, I owe everything to him. Life was hard back then... I don't know if younger ones will remember that," said Sum Choi Yoke, 65. But 35-year-old lecturer W Chai said it was the duty of his generation "to do more to show the country that we do care... it's our job now to move things forward." "Whichever direction the current leadership takes now, it will have to be a more open one, and it's been happening. The people now want more say in this country." Younger Singaporeans said they respected Mr Lee, even if they would not support some of his strong-armed tactics, such as crackdowns on critics, if he was still in politics today. "It would be difficult now, because the political field has changed," said Wong Chee Wai, 34. "But Mr Lee did what was best for Singapore at that time." "It's not always possible to be the good guy and also do what's necessary." The bells, which date back to the 14th Century, were removed from St George's in Woolhope in January after cracks were discovered in them. The aim was to get them restored by 23 April - St George's Day. So far, £30,000 has been raised but the cost is likely to be much more, the church said. Bell ringer Barbara Fox said "it's such an English pastime, that locals enjoy regardless of whether they are churchgoers". "We've been overwhelmed by generosity of locals - donations, sponsorship, fundraising," she said. The cracks in the bells were discovered in time because left any longer, one of the bells could have fallen, which would have caused much worse damage, she said. "We've probably got to raise another £5,000, but its difficult to know what the end figure is going to be...how long is a piece of string?", she said. Shirley Chaplin, 57, from Exeter, was stopped from wearing a necklace with a cross by her employer on health and safety grounds. The court ruled that her rights had not been violated under the European Convention on Human Rights. Ms Chaplin said: "I don't regret it. I had to stand up for my faith." She was one of four British Christians who had brought cases against the government, claiming they suffered religious discrimination at work. Ms Chaplin was transferred to a desk job by Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Trust Hospital for failing to remove the cross, which she had worn to work for 30 years. The judges had decided that agreed health and safety concerns outweighed her religious rights. Mrs Chaplin said: "It seems ridiculous to me - I wore it [the crucifix] on my confirmation when I was 16, I've been a nurse since 1978. "I've worn it without incident, I've nursed a very wide range of patients, I've been bitten, I've been scratched, I've had computers thrown at me, but no-one has ever, ever grabbed my crucifix. "To say it's a health and safety risk, I really don't agree with that at all. We intend to appeal and take it back to the European Court." Hospital officials said they discussed several ways the ward sister could wear the cross, including concealing it under her clothes, but the nurse refused. Source: BBC Religion and Ethics Why is the cross important to Christians? Her discrimination case was heard by an Employment Appeal Tribunal in 2010, but they failed to uphold her complaint. Lynn Lane, human resources director for the trust, said: "This case was between Mrs Chaplin and the UK government. "However, we are pleased that the European Court's findings endorse the earlier findings of an employment tribunal. "Our own dress code for clinical staff is in accordance with Department of Health guidelines and designed to protect the health and safety of our patients and staff." She said: "I started on this journey and I have to see it through and I think the appeal will be the end." Christian Concern funded Ms Chaplin's case and said it would support her if she plans to appeal to the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights. In the joint ruling, the court decided that Nadia Eweida, a British Airways employee who had been told to stop wearing her white gold cross visibly at work, did suffer discrimination over her beliefs. Judges ruled that the rights of the other three Christians including Ms Chaplin had not been violated. The other two were Gary McFarlane, 51 - a marriage counsellor fired after saying he might object to giving sex therapy advice to gay couples - and Islington Council registrar Lillian Ladele, who was disciplined after she refused to conduct same-sex civil partnership ceremonies. The exhibition at the Brynmor Jones Library, where Larkin was librarian for 30 years, includes images of his female companions, friends and self-portraits. It shows the poet, who took nearly 6,000 photos throughout his life, was an accomplished amateur photographer. The university said it captured "a unique glimpse into Larkin's life". The exhibition, which runs until 23 December, follows the publication of a new book by Richard Bedford looking at Larkin's photographic work. It also features family snaps of his childhood, portraits of literary friends, as well as familiar views of Hull and the East Riding and other landscapes. University Librarian Dr Richard Heseltine said: "As one of the university's most eminent librarians, Philip Larkin is a prominent part of the university's cultural heritage. "It is an unmissable opportunity to come along to see another side of one of the most celebrated poets of our time. "The photographs offer a unique glimpse into Larkin's life, his interests and even subjects which informed some of his poems." The body of the 18-year-old was discovered in the village of Five Roads, near Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, on Monday at about 15:30 BST. Police said they were investigating but were not treating the death as suspicious. The coroner has been informed and an inquest into the death has been opened and adjourned. William Ewan, 86, bled to death after complications during a key-hole procedure at Leicester's Glenfield Hospital in 2007. His daughter Gabriele Shaw said it had never been explained that the procedure was "experimental" and had not been approved for wider public use. The judge at London's High Court awarded £13,686 in damages and costs. At a two-day hearing, the court was told the World War Two veteran from Cheadle in Greater Manchester was "intelligent and active" and could have hoped to live for another five years. His daughter's QC David Berkley told the the court Mr Ewan, who was originally from Nairn in the Highlands, had not given his "properly informed consent" for the transcatheter aortic valve implantation which was the subject of a clinical trial. The procedure, now widely used, was carried out by a surgical team led by cardiologist Dr Jan Kovac. Mrs Shaw, from Cheshire, sued Dr Kovac and the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust for her father's death. Speaking after the hearing she said: "This case has been about the death of a man who wasn't told about the procedures which were going to be carried out on him. "He was not told that procedures and medical devices used on him were experimental and had not yet been approved." The Trust and Dr Kovac made no admission of liability but Mr Justice Warby said they had "submitted to judgment". He awarded Mrs Shaw £13,686 for her father's "pain and suffering" as well as expenses including funeral costs. Cox, 29, was released this summer after scoring nine goals in 60 games in his second spell at the Royals. The ex-Nottingham Forest, West Brom and Swindon man, capped 30 times by the Republic of Ireland, has found the net 78 times in 296 career league matches. Shrimpers boss Phil Brown said he hoped Cox would make up the goals lost from Jack Payne's move to Huddersfield. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. O'Brien won Saturday's 2,000 Guineas with Churchill and also won both Classics in 2005 and 2012. Winter, ridden by Wayne Lordan, denied Ryan Moore a Guineas double as stablemate and 9-4 favourite Rhododendron was second, with Frankie Dettori third on Daban. O'Brien now has four wins in the race and 27 British Classics wins. The Irish trainer, who has won 13 of the last 27 British Classics, fielded three runners in a bid to win the fillies' Classic, with Hydrangea his other runner. While Rhododendron endured a troubled passage, Winter stayed out of trouble wide of the field. Lordan guided the 9-1 shot to the front entering the final furlong and held off the challenge of Rhododendron, who came home strongly. "She travelled quite well," said Lordan. "I went forward quite early because she's a filly that gallops and I knew the track would suit her. "This means a lot. I'm very grateful to Aidan for letting me keep the ride on the filly." BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght Punters love it, purists aren't quite so sure, but what everyone can agree on about this near big-race monopoly is that the Aidan O'Brien winner machine is beautifully oiled and working like clockwork. Here Rhododendron was luckless, not helped as O'Brien's third runner Hydrangea faded, but Winter won well enough that it's uncertain whether it had made the difference. Coolmore partner Michael Tabor said he was delighted but "this game can turn very quickly", although it has to be said that this has been the situation since high summer last year and shows no sign of changing. She is also in the running for best British female, with bookmakers predicting she will lift both trophies. Adele will also perform at the show, as will Rihanna, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd and Little Mix - who are bringing their mums to the ceremony. Meanwhile, hosts Ant and Dec have joked that "capes are banned" after Madonna's agonising fall last year. "They're a health and safety nightmare!" Declan Donnely told ITV news. Adele, whose third album 25 has sold 2.73m copies in the UK, looks set to dominate the awards, with further nominations for best single and best video - both of which are decided by a public vote. Coldplay will also make history if they win either of their categories - best album or best group. One win would give them a career total of nine Brits, making them the event's most successful band ever (Robbie Williams is the all-time champion, with an astonishing 17 trophies to his name). See the full list of nominees The ceremony will also feature a tribute to David Bowie, who died last month. Details of the performance are under wraps, but Brits chairman Max Lousada said it would be "respectful and understated". In contrast to the razzmatazz of Lady Gaga's tribute at last week's Grammy Awards, the Brits committee felt it was "too soon to have a full celebration of his life," he told Music Week. "We want to mark it in a respectful way, rather than setting off fireworks or whatever. Hopefully people will have a time of reflection and be able to listen and take in some of his incredible body of work." Ahead of the show, there has been some controversy over the lack of representation for BAME artists. Singer Laura Mvula said she would not attend the awards because of "the diversity issue", adding that black children grew up feeling they were "not acknowledged in society, in media and in mainstream music". Rapper Stormzy also released a song, One Take Freestyle, protesting at the exclusion of artists from the grime scene. "I felt very disappointed, I wasn't angry," he told BBC Radio 1. "It was such a great year for grime and underground music... I thought maybe this year it might get celebrated." The ceremony, at London's O2 Arena, will be broadcast live on ITV from 20:00 GMT. You can also follow live updates on the BBC News Website from 16:30 GMT. Advertising Week Europe 2017 is a four-day jamboree of around 175 seminars, workshops and events across the capital. Now in its fifth year, it attracts up to 40,000 visitors. The event is designed as a multiple-themed discussion programme. But this year it's been overshadowed by just one issue: Google, YouTube and adverts appearing next to extremist content. In response, a slew of major advertisers have been pulling their online ads. Google's European boss Matthew Brittin apologised, saying, "If there's something we could do better, we will do it better." He promised Google would do more through technology and the more rigorous flagging of offending content - although he did not say it would use staff to actively hunt down extremist videos. Away from the main stages, in the coffee bars and lounges at London's Picturehouse Central, many attendees agreed that despite the media focus on Google, the challenge is one for the industry as a whole. Much of this is because of the explosion in programmatic advertising, where advertisers use algorithms to automatically buy, sell and place adverts. In a world that is going through a surge in smartphone ownership (there are now 2.7 billion smartphone users and there will be five billion by 2020) coupled with an explosive growth in digital video advertising, automation does make sense. Done well it can allow brands to target specific consumers, but it can also allow them to chase audiences without regard to who those people might be. "It's all about automation, doing things at scale," said one speaker. But the dilemma for the industry is that chasing audiences without checking on what sites those audiences might be using leads to the mess Google now faces. "You have to be wary of the environment where you place your ad," insists Cristina Constandache, of the instant messaging and VoIP application, Viber. Matt Kelly, chief content officer of regional newspaper group Archant, goes further. He says we should not be surprised; the issue of adverts appearing in unwanted places has been an "open" secret in the industry for a while. "The idea that nobody has twigged that these ads were appearing next to dodgy content is frankly not believable. Of course they realised this, it's at the heart of programmatic advertising," he says. There are already solutions. Certain websites can be blacklisted. For instance, the alt-right news website Breitbart has faced a sustained campaign to get advertisers to pull their adverts. Other solutions would include hiring staff to vet websites - although this is time-consuming and expensive. Or you can create a "white list" of so-called approved sites. The issue comes down to cost - and how much more brand owners are prepared to advertise and how much we as consumers are prepared to pay for those products. "We all want the cheapest [advertising]," says Unilever's chief marketing officer Keith Weed, "but it comes at a cost." This year, politics has muscled its way onto the stage, as well. Matt Scheckner, the Advertising Week event's founder, says this is not surprising as advertising is "a mirror of the times", whether that's the US presidential election or Brexit. Brands and advertisers themselves have been responding by becoming more political, "taking sides on issues like immigration, the US elections, Brexit, cultural diversity or same sex marriages," says Nick Flynn, senior vice president at Shutterstock, the stock photography, image and music provider. In the UK last October, Lego ended its promotional giveaways with the Daily Mail newspaper amid a campaign to stop firms advertising with some newspapers over "divisive" coverage of migrants. In the US at the 2017 Super Bowl, Airbnb ran an advert criticising President Donald Trump's stance on immigration, declaring "acceptance starts with all of us". Brands are being pushed to take a side, says Flynn partly because "this resonates with the next generation of consumers for whom these issuers are important," but also in recognition of the increasingly diversified audiences they are trying to reach. Follow Tim Bowler on Twitter @timbowlerbbc Mr Thompson is accused of selling "fully loaded" Kodi boxes, modified with software that allowed users to watch pirated content. The case will be closely watched by other traders who sell similar boxes. The trial will begin in May. Mr Thompson denied two charges of selling equipment that facilitated the circumvention of copyright protection measures. The case, heard at Teesside Crown Court, was brought by Middlesbrough Council after Trading Standards officers raided Mr Thompson's shop Cut Price Tomo's TV in Middlesbrough in March. The council bought two of the TV boxes in question from Mr Thompson's shop. After his first court appearance in September, Mr Thompson told the Northern Echo: "These boxes are available from all over the place, not just me, but it's the downloading of software to watch channels that is apparently causing the problem." "If I am found guilty and the court rules that I am breaking the law selling these boxes, I want to know what that means for people buying and selling mobile phones or laptops because the software is available for all of them." Ernesto van der Sar, editor of piracy news website TorrentFreak told the BBC: "The case is likely to determine where the boundaries lie when it comes to offering "fully loaded" Kodi TV devices in the UK. "While is doesn't affect users directly, it's expected to have a profound impact on sellers in this rapidly growing business." He added: "While Kodi itself is a neutral platform, there are lots of add-ons available for it that make pirated content readily available. Users often add these themselves at home, but the question in this case is whether shopkeepers are permitted to pre-install them." Fully loaded boxes, that come pre-installed with the add-ons are fairly common in online stores. Users can add the software themselves but may require a degree of technical knowledge, said Mr van der Sar. Kieron Sharp, director general of the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact) said: "Set-top and IPTV boxes which are 'cracked' or altered with software to allow you access to copyright-infringing apps and add-ons are illegal devices. The sale and distribution of these boxes is a criminal offence and the repercussions could result in years behind bars." He added that Fact had been working with police forces across the UK to combat individuals selling such devices but did not say whether the organisation planned a similar crackdown on people who installed add-ons at home. Carbisdale Castle, a former stately home dubbed Castle of Spite because of the part it played in a historic family feud, was shut three years ago. The Scottish Youth Hostels Association (SYHA) had to close it as a hostel because of rising repair costs. The SYHA said the selling agents have received notes of interest and these were being considered. The castle, which overlooks the Kyle of Sutherland, was shut as a hostel after suffering frost damage. Historic Scotland lists the castle and its entrance gates as category B, which means they are structures of regional importance. The Dowager Duchess of Sutherland had Carbisdale Castle built between 1907 and 1917 following the death of her husband, George Granville William Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, the Third Duke of Sutherland. Lady Mary was the duke's second wife and after he died she became embroiled in a legal dispute over his will with her step son, the fourth Duke of Sutherland. When the row was settled the duchess used her inheritance to have Carbisdale constructed. According to geographical encyclopaedia, The Gazetteer of Scotland, the property became known as the Castle of Spite. Its clock tower only has three faces with none that could be seen by the new duke as he passed by in his private train on his way to Dunrobin Castle, near Golspie, his family's property in Sutherland. It is also said that he would have the blinds of his carriage shut so he did not have to look at Carbisdale. The castle was bought by a Scots-Norwegian family in 1933 and was used as a refuge for the Norwegian royal family during World War II. The gazetteer adds that the castle is haunted by a female ghost called Betty. Last week, legendary Vogue editor Anna Wintour, considered one of fashion's most influential voices, was overheard on a train lambasting the mogul. Her comments came as Teen Vogue ran a "scorched-earth" attack on Mr Trump, posting an opinion editorial that accused him of repeatedly lying to the public. Many online readers were shocked by the ferocity of the piece - and Miss Wintour's criticisms. But what both show is that 2016 has changed women's magazines, perhaps forever. Vogue and others are now unashamedly political, securing access to top-ranking leaders and endorsing their favourites in print. Vogue set out its stall for then Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in mid-October, by endorsing her for the presidency. "Vogue has no history of political endorsements," the fashion Bible noted, before stating that it was making an exception "given the profound stakes of this one". Critics said the glossy had no business weighing in on politics, but many readers praised it for considering readers' core concerns. Vogue pointed out that while it has profiled Ms Clinton six times, it has also featured Ivana, Marla, Melania, and Ivanka Trump repeatedly in its pages. And it wasn't alone in making a historic exception. "For me, the only option is Hillary Clinton," Glamour magazine editor-in-chief Cindi Leive wrote the same month, in a piece titled "In This Election, I'm With Her". Ms Leive noted that after four election cycles spent at Glamour, 2016 was the first time she had felt compelled to share her private views. Surprise! Teenage girls care about politics Vogue uses 'real women' in special issue Nine down-to-earth discoveries I made at Vogue magazine "One of the two major candidates [Hillary Clinton] is an experienced public servant, while the other [Donald Trump] sports a decades-long résumé of dismissiveness toward women and their concerns," she wrote. The same passion for politics crossed the border to Marie Claire Mexico, which put Ivanka Trump on its cover along with a public plea: "#DearIvanka. When will you protect us from your father?" One reason the recent Teen Vogue opinion piece spread like wildfire online is that non-readers associate the brand with boyfriend angst and make-up tips. Few people expected it to publish something so hard-hitting. But maybe they should have. "Young women have been excited and perhaps disturbed by things like Brexit and Donald Trump," says Barbara Rowlands, an associate professor in the journalism department at City, University of London. "If there was a junior GQ and they put something like that up, nobody would have batted an eyelid." Dr Rowlands says younger Teen Vogue readers generally come from an ABC1 readership, and will have heard discussions about Donald Trump - so naturally they are curious. Feminist commentators have suggested the shock at Teen Vogue publishing a coherent piece of political opinion is a sign of how badly women are under-estimated. "Stop proudly flaunting your low expectations," advised US feminist writer Roxane Gay on Twitter. In September 2016, Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka cut short an interview with Cosmopolitan.com after being asked how her father's childcare policy compared to his past remarks on maternity leave. Interviewer Prachi Gupta said: "In 2004, Donald Trump said that pregnancy is an inconvenient thing for a business. It's surprising to see this policy from him today. Can you talk a little about those comments, and perhaps what has changed?" According to Cosmo's transcript, the mother of three replied: "I think that you have a lot of negativity in these questions. So I don't know how useful it is to spend too much time with you on this." She terminated the meeting shortly afterwards. Ms Gupta's other political reporting has included a video piece where five young women explained why they were voting for Mr Trump. Lena Dunham, creator of the HBO TV show Girls, interviewed Ms Clinton for her feminist email newsletter, Lenny. The interview was full of personal insights from a candidate frequently accused of lacking warmth, including how she felt about working in a salmon canning factory after college. Miss Dunham, who was a vocal Democrat supporter in the run-up to the US presidential vote, asked Ms Clinton if she had worried about marrying her husband Bill. "I was terrified about losing my identity and getting lost in the wake of Bill's force-of-nature personality," the former secretary of state admitted. "I actually turned him down twice when he asked me to marry him." In August 2016, President Barack Obama penned an exclusive piece for Glamour magazine about his feminist views as a man and a father. It was a gesture that showed he was keen to address young women through whatever media they are drawn to. "Michelle and I have raised our daughters to speak up when they see a double standard or feel unfairly judged based on their gender or race - or when they notice that happening to someone else," he wrote. "It's important for them to see role models out in the world who climb to the highest levels of whatever field they choose. And yes, it's important that their dad is a feminist, because now that's what they expect of all men." Glamour says it has 10 million print readers and 15 million unique users online. With that in mind, it seems less surprising that politicians are harnessing it to get their message across. Nicole Phillips, 45, from Hastings, East Sussex, is due to appear at Bodmin Magistrates' Court on Thursday. Andreas Christopheros, 29, was critically injured in the doorstep attack in Truro, Cornwall, in December. Mrs Phillips' husband David, 48, has denied causing grievous bodily harm with intent. He is expected to go on trial on 8 June. The Birmingham International Marathon and half marathon will be held in October 2017, organisers said. It is expected to follow in the footsteps the People's Marathon, which ran between 1980 and 1985. The race has been created by the Great Run company behind the Great Birmingham 10K and the Great Birmingham Run in partnership with the city council. A provisional route starting at the Alexander Stadium and finishing on Broad Street has been proposed. There will be themed miles along the course to celebrate the city's cultural diversity, organisers said. Birmingham was hailed as the birthplace of the open-to-all marathon when elite runner John Walker launched the People's Marathon on 11 May 1980. Athletics Weekly wrote at the time: "In years to come, when marathon fields several thousand strong will be commonplace in Britain, it will be seen that the event which triggered off the mass long-distance running movement in this country was the inaugural People's Marathon." Mark Hollinshead, chief executive of the Great Run Company, said he hoped the new marathon would become the trials for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. "Not only will this be a great event for British elite runners, we will also aim to attract runners of all abilities from the UK and beyond, to run for charity, for the challenge or just for fun," he said. Steve Hollingworth, Birmingham City Council's assistant director for sport, events and parks said: "It will encourage more residents to become physically active and have access to a full complement of running events in the city." With the national team having failed to qualify, local interest is contained to players from Scottish Premiership clubs who will travel to France. The squads of the competing 24 nations have now been finalised. A handful of Scottish-based players missed out - in particular, Celtic and Belgium defender Dedryck Boyata, through injury, Northern Ireland duo Liam Boyce, of Ross County, Billy Mckay, who spent much of the season on loan at Dundee United from Wigan Athletic, and Aberdeen and Republic of Ireland winger Jonny Hayes. Six players from the Premiership will compete in the finals, though, the same number as for Euro 2000 and the highest since Scotland last qualified, at Euro 96. It is galling for the national team that the other three home nations qualified, but there is at least financial consolation for some Scottish clubs. Every club that released a player for the qualifying campaign and every team that releases players for the finals will receive payments after the European Club Association and Uefa signed a memorandum of understanding in 2012. That agreement will result in £115m from Uefa's total Euro 2016 revenues set aside to pay clubs for the release of players, with £38m split between clubs who released players for the qualifying campaign and £77m split between those that release players for the finals. After Euro 2012, a total of £77m was split between 575 clubs across the continent and the distribution mechanism will be the same following this summer's tournament. Leagues are split into three categories based on the level of wages players receive. Category One clubs come from countries such as England, Spain, France, Germany and Italy, while Scotland was ranked in Category Two for Euro 2012. In the Premiership, Inverness Caledonian Thistle (Owain Fon Williams of Wales), Hamilton Academical (Michael McGovern of Northern Ireland), St Johnstone (Alan Mannus of Northern Ireland), Aberdeen (Niall McGinn of Northern Ireland), Kilmarnock (Josh Magennis of Northern Ireland) and Celtic (Mikael Lustig of Sweden) will all be eligible for payments for players who have been selected for the finals. The amount - which will be finalised after the tournament - is based upon a fixed amount per day that the player is involved in the squad, beginning 14 days before the first match and lasting until the day after the final match the team plays at the tournament. After Euro 2012, Category One clubs received £5,220 per day, per player, Category Two clubs £3,480 and Category Three clubs £1,740. Based on the 2012 figures, a Scottish club would receive £83,520 for a player whose country is knocked out in the group stages. If a player is injured before the first game, and so eligible to be replaced, payment to his club will be made based on the number of days he was involved during the two weeks before the first match. The payment for the replacement player is based on how many days he is involved until the day after the final match of his country's involvement. A player injured after the first game cannot be replaced, so his club receives the full payment. Scottish clubs will also benefit from players' involvement in the qualifying campaign, covering the two seasons prior to the finals. Again, it is based on a fixed amount per game and applies to all 23 players listed on the official Uefa match sheet. For clubs whose players represented countries that played in 10 qualifying ties (as Scotland did), the payment is estimated to be £3,073 per player, per game. For clubs whose players represented countries that reached the play-offs and so featured in 12 ties, the payment is estimated to be £2,612 per player, per game. As was the case following Euro 2012, the clubs compensated will be those the player was representing at the time, so if a player was on loan at a Scottish club during the qualifying campaign, it will be they rather than the parent club who will receive the payment. The compensation will be welcome for Scottish clubs, but will not balance out the nation's angst at missing out. It is heartening for the game, to an extent, that the players going to Euro 2016 come from a spread of clubs, since all three involved at Euro 2012 came from Celtic. Celtic also provided two of the three players involved in Euro 2008, with Caley Thistle having Marius Niculae of Romania. The figures are relatively stable, since apart from the Scotland players, the Scottish game provided five players at the finals in England 20 years ago. Day, Wales' sole representative at this year's Championship at Sheffield's Crucible, was beaten 10-4 in the first round. The 37-year-old recovered from 4-0 down to trail 4-3 but won only one more frame and as a result will now drop out of the world's top 16. "My form is OK but my concentration let me down," Day told BBC Wales Sport. "It was a poor start and although my form was not too bad it was a bit of an embarrassing day at the office. "I just never settled. I lost the first frame that I should have won. I got back into the match at 4-3 and let the last two frames slip. "Xiao started quite well [in the evening session] and it was too much of a lead." Day's defeat means there will be no Welsh representation in the second round of the World Championship for the first time since 1969. The deal for the 24-year-old, initially reported by BBC Sport on Thursday, is believed to include £15m in add-ons. United said they were "delighted" to agree a deal, and the move was "subject to a medical and personal terms". Chelsea had matched the Red Devils' bid, but appear set to miss out on re-signing their former player. The Blues were not willing to match the fees Lukaku's agent, Mino Raiola, would earn if the forward moved to Old Trafford. "A further announcement will be made in due course," United added. Red Devils boss 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. They are keen to conclude a deal before they depart for a pre-season tour to the United States on Sunday. Lukaku is already in the US, where he and United midfielder Paul Pogba have been spending time and training together, with Pogba posting updates on his Instagram page. Wayne Rooney is not expected to be part of United's squad for the trip as he looks set to return to Everton on a free transfer. The two deals are not connected. Lukaku was 18 when he signed for Chelsea from Anderlecht in August 2011 for a fee reported to be about £20m. He made just one Premier League start for the club and spent time on loan at West Bromwich Albion and Everton before sealing a permanent move to Goodison Park. Lukaku turned down the most lucrative contract offer in Everton's history in March, thought to be worth £140,000 a week, and later said: "I don't want to stay at the same level. I want to improve and I know where I want to do that." Media playback is not supported on this device Top five world record transfers Top five British transfer records 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."

Three people have been arrested, one of them the baby's mother, police said. Two suspects had allegedly car-jacked her vehicle, driving off with the baby. The abduction sparked a huge media campaign and a search by 100 officers. Police had recovered the mother's abandoned Toyota Yaris in Montclair, southern Durban, at about 15:00 local time (13:00 GMT) on Friday. But a spokesman for South African Marshall Security, Kyle van Reenen, said that the infant's baby seat had been removed from the car. KwaZulu-Natal police spokesman Lt-Col Thulani Zwane confirmed that the baby had been found at about midnight on Saturday. Police were reportedly working on a lead when they stopped a vehicle at Mariannhill Toll Plaza. Local media carried an image of the baby after her recovery. The abduction shocked South Africa, with residents taking to Twitter to urge anyone with information to come forward. The hashtag #HelpFindDurbanBaby was trending throughout Friday afternoon. Car hijackings are common in South Africa, with many people installing tracking devices in their vehicles. Last year, incidents in the country increased by 14.3% on the previous year, meaning that on average 40 cars were hijacked per day, according to the latest statistics. A specialist panel found sufficient evidence to link the chemical, already banned in the EU and the US, to a cancer called non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Lindane is still used in some developing countries. And it is an ingredient in some head lice and scabies treatments used in some countries, including China, India, the US and Canada. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) panel also concluded that another insecticide, called DDT, was "probably carcinogenic to humans". And it classified a third insecticide called 2,4-D as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Most uses of DDT have been banned since the 1970s, but the IARC says exposure to DDT still occurs, mainly through diet. This is because DDT and its breakdown products are highly persistent and can be found in the environment and in animals. Since its introduction in 1945, 2,4-D has been widely used to control weeds in agriculture, forestry, and urban and residential settings. Occupational exposures to 2,4-D can occur during manufacturing and application, and the general population can be exposed through food, water, dust, or residential application, and during spraying, says the IARC. The Lancet Oncology journal has a summary of the full evaluation. Dr Kurt Straif, Head of the IARC said the evidence on lindane and cancer was largely based on studies among agricultural workers that showed a consistent, approximately 50% increase in risk, with higher risks in heavily exposed agricultural workers. "This agricultural usage of Lindane has been severely restricted starting in the 1970s and current general population exposure is mainly through the diet or when treated for scabies or lice. There are currently no epidemiological studies to quantify the lymphoma risk from these exposures." England will take the Triple Crown if they win at Twickenham, but, after four successive second-place finishes in the Six Nations, Hartley wants more. "The older guys are worried about walking away without winning anything big," said the 29-year-old hooker. "We're running out of time. I want to leave with something substantial." While Hartley, who will win his 70th cap at the weekend, was part of the team that won the Six Nations in 2011, that came after a chastening and heavy defeat in Dublin. England have won just one Grand Slam in two decades, while Wales have won three in the past 10 years alone. However, England go into the match top of the table with a 100% win record, one point ahead of Warren Gatland's men with two matches remaining. "It's talking to the young guys about not just drifting through this opportunity we've got now," Hartley added. "The time is now for them to win something. Don't wait five or six years, because you might not ever get the chance. "We've been runners-up for the last four years, so we were lacking something minuscule. It may be that mental edge. "At the time, 2011 was weird, an anti-climax. We'd been thrashed by Ireland and then we got given the trophy. "When you've been in and out of an England shirt like me, when you look back at things, what are you going to say you've achieved? "At the time when we won that, I didn't feel I enjoyed it. Was I too young? Was I too immature? Or was it because of the loss? So I want to make sure we win something and I enjoy it." Listen: Hartley excited to have Tuilagi back in England team The Northampton Saints hooker has played under four different England coaches and believes the current regime is pushing the squad harder than ever before. "You go from game to game and we play rugby every week, so it's hard not to plod along," he said. "What we've got to realise is that it's two months of sacrifice and hard work, and the rewards can be huge. "It's not squad meetings when we talk about this, it's catching up with someone in the swimming pool or at lunch, and saying: 'Are you doing everything you can to be ready for the weekend? Because we've got a hell of an opportunity here.'" The England captain singled out Saracens second row Maro Itoje as someone who "epitomises" what he and Jones demand from the squad after the 21-year-old made his first start in the victory over Ireland on 27 February. "I've watched the way Maro Itoje trains," said Hartley. "The energy and intensity he brings to a session is exactly what I want from my younger players. So when we talk about drifting, he's definitely not." Media playback is not supported on this device Aintree racecourse boss John Baker told the Liverpool Echo the venue wanted to protect women at the world's biggest steeplechase from "unfair" coverage. He said any photographers taking shots which enforce negative stereotypes could have their accreditation revoked. Ladies Day has been a fixture of the race meeting since the early 1990s. It traditionally takes place on the second day of the Grand National race meeting and is frequented by celebrities such as Wayne Rooney's wife Colleen Rooney and Steven Gerrard's wife Alex Curran. However, Aintree want to a stop a recent trend of photographs showing women in "unflattering" poses - which some have accused of portraying Liverpool in an unfavourable light. Mr Baker told the paper: "We want to overwhelm the negativity, to push the positivity to the front. "Our event is full of character, it's fun, and that's generated by the personality of the Liverpool people," he said. He said it would not be easy to manage photographers but the racecourse would endeavour to do so. Aintree press officer Nigel Payne said the venue operated "a very stringent and responsible accreditation procedure". "The majority of our accredited photographers are there for the magnificent horse racing," he said. Tens of thousands of people attend the Grand National, which will take place from 9 to 11 April, each year. The 457 visa programme is used mainly to hire foreign workers in the restaurant, IT and medical industries - the majority came from India, the UK and China. But PM Malcolm Turnbull said it would be abolished to prioritise the recruitment of Australian nationals. Critics of 457 said Australian workers lost out to foreign counterparts. In its place, two new temporary visas will carry additional requirements and draw from a smaller list of eligible professions. "The new system will be manifestly, rigorously, resolutely conducted in the national interest," Mr Turnbull said on Tuesday. A four-year business visa which allowed people to live in Australia with their immediate family. It was designed to fill gaps in skilled labour but it had been criticised as being too accessible. In 2016, the most 457s were granted to cooks, developers, programmers and medical workers According to government statistics, 95,758 people were living in Australia on 457 visas last year, with the highest proportion coming from India (24.6%), the UK (19.5%) and China (5.8%). Mr Turnbull said the current four-year 457 system will be replaced by visas lasting two or four years. For the shorter visa, more than 200 jobs will be removed from an existing list of about 650 eligible professions. The list for the longer visa will be even more strict, said Immigration Minister Peter Dutton. The changes will also require applicants to be more proficient in English, undergo a criminal check, and be subject to labour market testing. Current 457 visa holders will not be affected by the changes, Mr Turnbull said. James Veale, manager at a high-tech company: "I think Mr Turnbull needs to look at the taxi-driving students studying home economics and aged care first before he singles out the 100,000 457 visa applicants who are creating real opportunities and income for Australia. "Many of these students, after becoming citizens, remain as taxi drivers, not the skilled higher-paying professions that their student visas promised." Benjamin Williams was about to be sponsored for a 457 visa: "I'm absolutely devastated and don't know what to do or where to go from here. How can the government make such massive changes in one afternoon?" Steven Bouglas applied for a 457 visa five weeks ago for a job that is being removed from the eligible list: "Not only does that mean I will be jobless... I will now have to leave my girlfriend who I have been seeing for six months as I will no longer be eligible to stay here. I find it a complete joke." Yes, according to Mr Dutton. He described the possibility of eventual citizenship as a "significant part of the attraction" of the 457 visa. "The existing 457 visa program is conducted for a period of four years, but essentially it is open-ended, and it results, in many cases, in a migration outcome," he said. "What we propose is that under the temporary skills shortage visa short-term stream there will be a two-year visa... but there won't be permanent residency outcomes at the end of that." The new four-year visa will also result in fewer permanent residents because of the eligibility changes, he said. It comes after Australian said last month that it would largely end granting visas to foreign workers in the fast food industry. Kirov region governor Nikita Belykh was held in a Moscow restaurant. Investigators posted a picture which purports to show the governor of the central region at a table with cash from a bribe. Mr Belykh has been a Kremlin critic, but the investigators say there is no political subtext to the case. On Friday, the Russian investigative committee (SKR) published a photograph on its website, saying it showed Mr Belykh and piles of 100-euro notes laid out before him. They say he is suspected of accepting the money, personally and through an intermediary, in return for protecting dodgy investment business in the region. Mr Belykh, who once led the opposition Union of Right Forces, has made no public comment on the issue. SKR spokesman Vladimir Markin pointed out that - "anticipating hysteria" from Mr Belykh's supporters - there was no political background to his arrest. Mr Belykh becomes the third Russian governor to be arrested on suspicion of corruption in just over a year.

Inspectors said it found a "widespread belief" that offenders "could not be trusted to behave responsibly." The inspection report said that just over a third of inmates "engaged constructively" in daily activities. But it said the relationship between staff and inmates had "appreciably improved" since the last inspection. HMYOI Polmont, near Falkirk, houses young male offenders aged between 16 and 21. The inspection took place ahead of the transfer of about 110 female prisoners to Polmont from HMP Cornton Vale. Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland, David Strang said that "considerable progress" had been made since the last inspection in 2014. Mr Strang said: "The concept of HMYOI Polmont as a learning environment is ambitious and progressive, and I would encourage a continuation in the development of this ethos." However, he expressed concern at a "lack of engagement" in the opportunities for many of the inmates. The report stated: "For those who did take part, the positive benefits were very clear. "Despite significant investment in the activities areas, it was disappointing to note that only just over a third of the population engaged constructively in daily activities." The report said a "sizeable proportion" of the young offenders spent extended periods of the day locked in their cells. It noted: "The challenge for HMYOI Polmont is to create an environment which encourages young men to engage with the opportunities available for them. "This needs to go beyond simply making the activities available on the timetable." Inspectors said there was an "apparent overemphasis on security" which had an "adverse impact" on decisions about recreation, time in the fresh air and communal dining. It said these activities were restricted by a "fear or expectation that too many young men together would result in disorder or assaults." Mr Strang said: "I would like to see the balance between these two elements redressed in a way that would encourage engagement and responsibility. "It was surprising that during conversations with SPS staff, at all levels, the majority held view was that social interaction opportunities were limited because of the fear of interpersonal violence. "Therefore extended periods of confinement to their cells was required in order to maintain good order and discipline." Mr Strang said that developing a culture where young men took responsibility for making constructive decisions "should be applauded". He said: "Without in any way compromising security and safety, HMYOI Polmont should seek to encourage the whole population to participate actively in more activities outwith their cells." A Scottish Prison Service spokesman said that the number of young offenders in custody in recent years had been reduced from over 1,000 to about 400. He said: "By definition, what we are caring for now are some of the more difficult to reach people. "We have said right from the start that this is a journey of some years. "We do recognise that it is an issue that many of these young people have been involved in acts of violence. "We have to address that and make sure that the environment we have in prison is safe for everybody. "The team there are working to try and engage these young men in a variety of quite innovative ways "Looking at the report in its totality, the chief inspector recognises the progress that has been made." The sextet - Pine Island and Thwaites in Antarctica; and Jakobshavn, Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden, Zacharae Isstrom and Petermann in Greenland - are major contributors to ongoing sea-level rise. They are thinning and flowing faster, and scientists believe some of them have become unstable. Routine observation should pick up any sudden changes in behaviour. The data is currently being gathered by the Sentinel-1a spacecraft, but it will be assisted soon by a sister platform, Sentinel-1b, which the European Space Agency will launch on Friday. Both have radar instruments that are able to see the glaciers' surfaces day or night, and in all weathers. They can track activity by keeping a watch on the velocities of crevasses as they move towards the ocean. The UK's NERC Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM) has just sent live a new web portal that all researchers can access. Using only Sentinel-1a data for the time being, the service will provide a snapshot of behaviour at least every 12 days. When Sentinel-1b comes online in a few months, the image cycle should improve to once every six days. "The widespread coverage and short repeat period of Sentinel-1a has revolutionised the way we can observe glaciers around the world," said Dr Anna Hogg from Leeds University. "This first satellite in Europe's Copernicus programme is a fantastic new resource, and is proving to be a critical tool for monitoring changes in Antarctic and Greenland ice flow. Things will only get better when Sentinel-1b joins the fray." The intention is to bring more glaciers into the programme over time. This will be easier when 1b is up and working following a period of commissioning. "The first step is to focus on areas of known dynamical imbalance - and, certainly, these six glaciers are key contributors to sea-level rise," explained CPOM colleague Prof Andrew Shepherd. "The next step is to expand the service. Future sea-level projections really only allow for imbalance in places we know about today. There are ice streams that may not have activated yet, and that's why we'd like to routinely monitor perhaps 20 to 30 other sectors of Antarctica and Greenland. "That's our intention, together with Esa as part of their climate change initiative." An Austrian team is developing a similar service, and here at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly this group, known as ENVEO, showcased some of its own ice velocity maps. It has some very impressive static (averaged over time) renderings of Antarctica and Greenland. One important difference with ENVEO's near-real-time service when it goes live will be the tools provided to users. "The amount of data from Sentinel even now is overwhelming, and it makes it quite hard to get the information out that you want," explained Dr Jan Wuite. "It never used to be a problem but with these maps being produced every 12 days, and soon every six days - it is. That makes it very necessary to get hold of this data with special tools and that's what we're developing." Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden and Zacharae Isstrom are two big glaciers that enter the ocean next to each other in the northeast of Greenland. Together they make up 12% of the Greenland ice sheet. Zacharae Isstrom hit the headlines in November last year. A report said it had broken loose from a stable position held in 2012 and was now in an accelerated retreat. The northeast of Greenland has only recently attracted attention because the most vulnerable regions of the ice sheet were always considered to be much further south. Jakobshavn is sited in southwest Greenland. Not only does it move very fast (at times over 17km a year), but it is also retreating rapidly inland, at a rate of many hundreds of metres per year. Periodically, it displays spectacular calving behaviour. Billions of tonnes of icebergs are shed from its front every year and move out of the fjord towards the Atlantic. Jakobshavn is thought to have spawned the big block of ice that sank the Titanic. Petermann is in the northwest of Greenland. It is another producer of spectacular icebergs. Some are so big they are referred to as "ice islands". In 2010 it produced a block 260 sq km in area. In 2012, a 130-sq-km piece came away. Calving is part of the natural life cycle of ocean-terminating glacier. But ongoing monitoring and in-situ research will establish if any of the drivers are changing, and how. Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica is contributing more to sea-level rise than any other ice stream on the planet. It drains an area of 160,000 sq km, which is roughly two-thirds the size of the United Kingdom. The geometry of the rock bed under Pine Island makes it unstable, and scientists believe it is now in a self-sustaining retreat that could contribute on the order of perhaps 3.5-10mm to global ocean rise in the next 20 years. Thwaites Glacier is in the same part of West Antarctica as Pine Island and of similar size. It too has experienced significant retreat since the early 1990s. Its grounding line - the point where its leading front lifts off the bed and floats - has gone backwards some 15km. Continuing retreat will eventually take this line over a sill, which would then expose the deep-seated interior mass of the glacier to a potential runaway collapse. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos The company has been running services from Waterloo to the south coast, Salisbury and Reading since 1996. Its contract expires in 2017 but it hoped to secure a further two years. The Department of Transport confirmed it was unable to reach agreement with the company and said the franchise would go out to competition. In a statement, Stagecoach said: "A significant difference has remained between both parties regarding the financial evaluation of the proposals. "Nevertheless, as the incumbent operator with nearly 20 years' experience in growing and improving one of the most complex and busiest rail franchises in the country, we believe we are in a strong position to submit a powerful and attractive bid for a new South West Trains franchise." Secretary of State for Transport Patrick McLoughlin said he believed a franchise competition would achieve passenger benefits and better value for taxpayers. Basingstoke MP Maria Miller welcomed the announcement, saying it could mean a "more modern structure to cope with what has been a huge increase in passenger numbers". She added: "In our region we've seen the effect of that increase in numbers come out in congestion, which means that some peak time trains can frankly feel like cattle trucks at the best of times." But the RMT's general secretary Mick Cash called the decision a "shocking indictment of government policy and the privatised railway that a company that has been running the franchise for 20 years is not entrusted with the service going forward". Passengers and luggage had to be taken off the British Airways (BA) jet while engineers examined it. A misplaced cone had become wedged beneath the aircraft, but it was later allowed to continue its journey. BA apologised for the delay. Senior officials in North Korea have previously been absent from view for long periods only to reappear. However, Gen Ri would be the latest of several high-ranking officials to be purged under leader Kim Jong-un. South Korean media reported that Gen Ri had been executed earlier this month for corruption and "factional conspiracy". Last week, a meeting of the Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party attended by Mr Kim discussed how to deal with corruption. While no individuals were mentioned, state news agency KCNA reported at the time that those at the meeting criticised "the practices of seeking privileges, misuse of authority... and bureaucratism manifested in the party". Who was N Korea's 'executed' general? North Korean leadership expert Mike Madden told the BBC rumours that Gen Ri had fallen from favour first surfaced late last year. However, "when previous chiefs of staff have been removed, they have re-appeared in other positions or been demoted. The only exception was Gen Ri Yong-ho who was removed in 2012 and then put under house arrest," Mr Madden said. "That being said, much of the information that South Korean intelligence sources have been giving to the media in the past year or so has turned out to be true," he added. Mr Madden also pointed out that it already seemed as though Gen Ri had been replaced when another general, Ri Myong-su, appeared at a recent rally in Pyongyang and was mentioned in the slot normally reserved for the chief of staff. If this is the case, he will be the fourth chief of staff since Kim Jong-un took over in 2011, as opposed to three during his father Kim Jong-il's 17 years in power. The reports of Gen Ri's execution come days after the North launched a long-range rocket, which critics say is a test of banned missile technology. In January the North carried out its fourth nuclear test. Some observers say the regime's recent behaviour may be linked to Kim Jong-un wanting to shore up his position ahead of a rare congress of the Workers' Party due in May. North Korea rarely confirms these reports of purges and executions though it did announce the death of Kim Jong-un's uncle and mentor, Chang Song-thaek, in 2013. Sometimes reports become completely fanciful as they spin around the internet - reports that Mr Chang was devoured by ravenous dogs were false. Knowing what to make of the executions and disappearances is also hard. Do they indicate the strength of the man at the top, because he can arbitrarily and brutally dispense with the people around him, or does it indicate weakness? It may be both. It may be that Kim Jong-un fears alternative sources of power and (like Stalin) pre-empts their rise. But it may also be that Kim Jong-un (like Stalin) sees threats where they do not exist. What is clear is that the leadership around Kim Jong-un is not stable. In May 2015 South Korea's spy agency told parliament that the North's Defence Minister Hyon Yong-chol had been executed for showing disloyalty to Mr Kim. The agency said Mr Hyon was killed by anti-aircraft fire in front of an audience of hundreds - it later said it was yet to verify the information. That news came weeks after the reported execution of 15 senior officials. Also on Wednesday, South Korea announced it was suspending operations at the jointly-run Kaesong industrial park in North Korea following the North's recent rocket launch and nuclear test. Seoul said all operations at the complex would halt, to stop the North using its investment "to fund its nuclear and missile development". The suspension will mean North Korea will lose the income it currently gains from the site, which comes to $100m a year (£69m). Hameed, 20, impressed on England's tour of India last year but has not made a first-class half-century this season. He lost his place in the national side, but was netting with England batting coach Mark Ramprakash on the first day of the fourth Test against South Africa on Friday. "We want him to score runs and push to get back in the team," said Farbrace. With the fourth Test taking place at Hameed's home ground of Old Trafford, Farbrace added it was an opportunity to "keep him in the fold". He will play for Lancashire in their County Championship match against Hampshire at Southampton, which starts on Sunday, hoping to press his case for a recall for the three-Test series against West Indies. "We'll be keeping a close eye on the Championship game," said Farbrace. "Ramps has had good contact with him over the past few weeks. We want him to realise he's part of the future of the England team." Hameed's presence at Old Trafford was made more significant by the continuing struggles of his replacement, Keaton Jennings. Jennings made only 17 as England closed on 260-6, with the left-hander averaging only 15.57 in the series. However, Farbrace said that the situation was not uncomfortable for Jennings, citing the regular occasions that England invite players to train with their squad. He also had words of support for the Durham man, who made a century on his Test debut in India. "He has found out a lot about himself," said Farbrace. "There are areas of his game he would want to work on, but there hasn't been time to take a step back and do that. "He's a very honest young man who works hard. Given the chance to get through this spell, I think he will make a success of international cricket. "When you have someone who is driven to be as good as they can be, you want to stick with them." Farbrace added that England have received no official approach for fast bowling coach Ottis Gibson, who has been linked with South Africa's head coach role. Despite this the country remains obsessed with the weather. Many people tune in to news bulletins purely to hear the weather forecast, while dramatic meteorological changes often themselves become news headlines. Weather has already played a part in the referendum debate, with autumn's temperate conditions one of the reasons it was selected as the best time of year for the referendum to be held, even before a specific date was decided upon. But could the weather have a role in the referendum's outcome? And would bad weather harm or favour one side more than the other? For polling day itself, we're expecting a cloudy start but largely dry. Any showers confined to the Northern Isles. Through the day, it will brighten up and turn quite warm in the west and south west. Highs of 21C around Glasgow and Ayrshire. Closer to 19C for Inverness, Perth, Stirling and Dumfries. A shade cooler and cloudier for Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh, with a small risk of some light drizzle right on the east coast. Election weather facts Highest turnout in a UK general election •Feb 1950 : Forecast characterised by sunshine and showers, quite pleasant with a little bit of sunshine. Lowest turnout in a local election •May 1998 (English local election): Wind and rain across the country. Lowest Turnout in a European election •June 1999 : While some parts of Scotland and NE England saw some rain, other parts of the country enjoyed warm and sunny weather. Some political commentators say that rain has traditionally been more of a turnoff for Labour voters than their Conservative counterparts. With more Conservative votes coming from the retired demographic who are free to vote at any point in the day, the Tory turnout is less adversely affected by inclement weather. But the theory is that, as Labour voters have tended to go to the polls between teatime and 22:00, after they get in from work, they are more likely to stay at home in nasty weather than go out again to face the elements. "There is probably something in it, because in the older industrial working class areas, people voted on their way home from work and the middle class tended to go out in the morning or lunchtime," says Mr Howard. "So rain in the evening has always been a frightening prospect for Labour. It's probably less relevant these days but I think there's still a grain of truth to it." He cites the 71% turnout in the 1997 general election as an example: "When people cast their minds back to the Labour landslide of 1997, they remember a warm spring day. " What could this mean for the referendum? With both the UK and Scottish Labour leaders fully paid up members of Better Together, and former Labour Chancellor Alistair Darling heading up the pro-union campaign, the traditional theory would seem to suggest that a lower turnout from the traditional Labour stalwart would put more of a dent in the "No" vote than their opposition. However, with many traditional Labour voters now apparently giving their backing to the "Yes" side, it could be it would hit the pro-independence vote too. Realistically though, given that more Scots have registered to vote in the referendum than in any previous election in history, it is unlikely that many voters will let the risk of frizzy hair or the inconvenience of a raincoat keep them at home this time around. In any event, some experts doubt whether there is really any connection between weather and voter turnout. Electoral behaviour expert Prof John Curtice has dismissed any link between weather and voter turnout as a myth. He asserts that the lower turnout in traditional Labour wards has more to do with the higher likelihood of social deprivation in these areas and a lack of political engagement than anything else. Research also doesn't appear to bear out any real link between bad weather and a reduced turnout. Stephen Fisher, a politics lecturer at Oxford University who has studied the relationship between the weather and turnout, says: "If you made a statistical correlation and scored the weather according to how good it was and compiled a graph showing voter turnout, over the last 15 elections you don't see a correlation. "In 2001 turnout was 59% and in 2005, 61%. The turnouts were much lower than other post-war elections, which average at 70%, but the weather was pretty good on both those election days." However, studies in other parts of the world have shown a different experience. Researchers from across the pond claim that weather has had a direct impact in US elections, even dictating the outcome of several presidential elections, with poor weather shown to benefit the Republicans. Ahead of the most recent presidential election with Democrat Barack Obama running against Republican Mitt Romney, an Ipsos poll showed that 28% of Democrat voters admitted bad weather would impact whether they made it to the polls, compared to 19% of Republican voters. Other studies have taken the weather effect so seriously that they have attempted to create an empirical formula to quantify the correlation. A 2007 Journal of Politics study concluded that rain reduces US voter participation by a rate of just below 1% and an inch of snowfall decreases turnout by almost 0.5%. A separate study into Dutch voting habits put a 10C increase in temperate or an inch of rainfall raising or lowering the turnout by a rate of 1%. But political scientists also admit that regional differences matter, pointing out that an inch of rain in showery Seattle doesn't impact turnout in the same way as it would in typically sunny Los Angeles. Given Scotland's often monsoon-esque conditions even in summer, it's not as if a spot of rain isn't something voters are well used to. So are Scots better at heeding Billy Connolly advice, sticking on a raincoat and simply getting on with it, than our friends in warmer and drier climes? As elections to the Scottish Parliament are always held on the same date - the first Thursday in May - it's hard to tell whether weather has had any impact in elections in Scotland at all. After all, it is difficult to imagine that the meteorological conditions during spring elections would vary enough to bring about a dramatic rise or fall in the number of ballot papers to count. This is borne out by the statistics, with voter turnout remaining fairly consistent regardless of weather conditions. Despite a damp and drizzly day during the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, turnout stood at 50.4% - just under 1.5 percentage points less than the previous election in 2007 which saw most of Scotland enjoy dry and clear conditions. John Curtice argues that with UK elections taking place in summer or autumn, weather conditions are rarely extreme enough to have an impact. As he puts it: "You might need to take a brolly with you or you might have sunshine, but you won't have a howling gale or snow." BBC's political editor Brian Taylor warns that weather is not the only obstacle that the campaigns face in trying to get voters out of the house on polling day. "Smart politicians check on a range of factors," he says. "On election day, they all become weather watchers. Will it rain? If it does, will it deter their lot more than the other lot? Do they need to summon extra cars to ferry voters to the polls? "If they are going canvassing, they check the TV schedule. Heaven help the eager young activist who tries knocking doors during Eastenders or the Cup Final." It is true that the British love affair with the weather is perhaps only rivalled by an addiction to TV. It is said that when standing for election in 1964, Harold Wilson was so concerned that Steptoe and Son would keep prospective Labour voters glued to the screen on the evening of the vote that he went to great lengths to try and persuade BBC Director General Hugh Green to re-jig the schedule. But is the referendum a different kettle of fish to an ordinary election? Rarely has an issue or political debate in this country been as impassioned and heated as the one over Scottish independence. Political commentator Anthony Howard believed that elections which are too close to call were sure ways of luring voters into polling booths, so the recent narrowing of the polls provide yet another reason to dismiss the impact of the weather as a storm in a teacup. The BBC's Brian Taylor is also forecasting that any referendum weather worries will be "full of wind". He says: "Given the level of engagement with this contest, I suspect the voters will turn out on 18 September rain, hail or shine. " Florida is the largest swing state and is seen as a must-win for Mr Trump. The Republican candidate later flew to North Carolina and will then head west to Nevada. Opinion polls in recent days have suggested Mr Trump is gaining support but he still remains behind Mrs Clinton in most surveys. In Florida, the contest appears to be tight. Real Clear Politics' poll average puts the Democratic candidate ahead, but poll analysis website FiveThirtyEight says Mr Trump has a 52.6% chance of winning the state. US President Barack Obama won Florida in 2012 by a margin of just 0.9% over Republican Mitt Romney. Candidates need 270 electoral college votes to win the presidency. Florida is worth 29. Some 37 million early voters have already cast their ballots. Reports suggest many more Latino voters are turning out early in key states including Florida, Arizona and Nevada compared to past elections. Florida has a significant Latino population, including many Cubans. Mr Trump told a rally in Tampa: "I say to the Hispanic community living in the inner city, to the African-American community, I say: what the hell do you have to lose?" He said Cubans supported him. He said he would provide jobs and solve crime for inner-city communities. Mrs Clinton courted voters in a Haitian-American district of Miami before holding a rally in Pembroke Pines. Her short address there ended in a downpour of rain. She will later make an appearance in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, alongside pop star Katy Perry. Hispanics make up 16% of registered voters in Florida this election, the Associated Press reports, up from 13.5% in 2012. American Hispanics mostly vote Democrat but Florida's large Cuban population - which make up 31% of the state's Hispanic vote - have traditionally voted Republican. Donald Trump recently began to speak out against the US lifting its economic embargo on Cuba in a play for older voters, analysts say. But they also point out that as more younger Cubans have settled in Miami, support for warming US-Cuba relations - which Mrs Clinton backs - is growing among the community. Polls now suggest that more Miami Cubans are against the embargo than for it. Mr Trump's divisive and insulting comments about immigrants from Mexico and elsewhere have also angered many Latinos. Both candidates held rallies in Ohio and Pennsylvania on Friday. In Cleveland, Mrs Clinton ended the day's campaigning at a concert, where she was joined by the singer Beyonce and her husband, rapper Jay Z. The Clinton campaign is putting on several events with high-profile figures from the entertainment world as it tries to energise young and minority voters. Rocker Jon Bon Jovi will later appear with Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine in St Petersburg, Florida. On Friday night, Mr Trump told supporters in Hershey, Pennsylvania, that he "didn't have to bring J-Lo or Jay Z" to draw crowds. "I am here all by myself. Just me. No guitar, no piano, no nothing," he said. Who is ahead in the polls? 45% Hillary Clinton 45% Donald Trump Last updated November 4, 2016 Mrs Clinton has faced a torrent of negative headlines after the FBI said last week it was looking into emails that may be connected to her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. The Clinton camp have questioned the timing of the announcement. Two senior Democrats have now called for an investigation into the role of former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Trump surrogate, after he appeared to suggest he knew about the inquiry before it was announced. Separately, US authorities have said they are assessing the credibility of information on a possible al-Qaeda extremist attack before election day. New York City, Texas and Virginia were said to be possible targets but a police spokesman said the information "lacks specificity". Officials say they regularly assess all possible threats before major events. Who will win? Play our game to make your call Emergency services were called when the woman vanished into a void outside a cafe on North End Road in Fulham, south-west London. Passersby said they heard a loud scream and saw the woman had stumbled into the 3ft-wide (1m) hole. The woman was taken to hospital but was not seriously injured. Local workers rushed to help when the woman in her 40s fell into the hole, just before 09:00 BST. The accident happened shortly after a man fell down the hole and twisted his ankle. Why do holes keep appearing? The area around the hole had been blocked off with tables and chairs, in an attempt to stop people walking into it, nearby market stall holders said. However, they added despite shouts by cafe staff, the woman who had a shopping trolley, squeezed through the chairs and fell down the hole. Mohammed Atillah, who works in the cafe, said he was outside talking to the man who stumbled earlier, when the woman walked through the makeshift barrier and fell down the hole. "I could see a small hole. I put the tables and chairs so no-one would come through," said Mr Atillah. "A lady was passing down the street, she came into the middle of the tables and fell down the hole." He said he helped her to reach the floor of the basement under the cafe and she walked back up via the stairs. Council staff have now cordoned off the area. The London Ambulance Service said: "The patient was shaken but not seriously injured and we took her to Charing Cross Hospital." Although parts of the US rapper's song were muted by ITV, Ofcom still received 151 complaints about offensive language and race discrimination or offence. Ofcom has assessed the complaints but said it will take no further action. ITV tried to cut out offensive language by airing February's ceremony with a short delay, the regulator decided. An Ofcom spokesman said: "We received a number of complaints that Kanye West's language, shortly after the watershed, was offensive. "But we will not be taking the matter forward for investigation. "Having carefully assessed these complaints, we noted that before the programme ITV took steps to ensure that offensive language was not used, and during the programme to mute the majority of it." The soldiers took to the streets in several cities over a pay dispute and blocked off the second largest city, Bouaké, on Saturday. They have said they are willing to fight if the army intervenes. Popular opposition to the rebellion has been growing, culminating in a march against the soldiers in Bouaké. Six people were wounded when the soldiers opened fire on protesters during Saturday's demonstration. In a statement released at 1700 GMT on Sunday announcing that a military operation was underway, armed forces' chief of staff General Sékou Touré said many of the mutinous soldiers had listened to earlier calls for them to stand down. But he said that some soldiers were continuing to disobey orders, which is why the operation had been launched. Troops are advancing towards Bouaké, Reuters news agency reports. In January, the soldiers forced the government into paying them about $8,000 (£6,200) each in bonuses to end a rebellion. They were due to receive a further payment this month and several thousands of mutineers had been unhappy they were not consulted when on Thursday a spokesman for the group said they would drop their demands for the remaining money. The government has said it will not negotiate with the disgruntled soldiers. The mutiny has raised fears of a resurgence of the violence seen during Ivory Coast's 10-year civil war, which ended in 2011. Many of the mutineers in January are former rebels who joined the army after the conflict. The source of the gas is unclear - no accidents have been reported at any of Moscow's chemical factories. Media reports said that the gas was hydrogen sulphide, which can be highly toxic and smells like rotten eggs. It has been smelt in central, eastern and south-eastern parts of the city. The gas was also detected in the capital's main shopping areas and around the parliament building, reports said. Russia's emergencies ministry blamed the problem on a failure at a Moscow oil refinery, Interfax reported. However, the refinery's owner Gazprom Neft said there had been no accident and the levels of hydrogen sulphide at the plant were not excessive. An earlier report suggested that the foul-smelling gas was coming from a network of facilities treating urban wastewater. Natalya Gorelova, a 25-year-old resident of north-west Moscow, told the BBC she first noticed the gas on her way to her work in the south-west of the city during the morning. "I have smelt the toxic gas all day. I'm at home now and I closed the windows. We are sitting at home, but I have a headache." Exposure even to low concentrations of hydrogen sulphide can lead to headaches, dizziness and nausea, experts say. "Since 11:00 this morning I have sensed a bad smell everywhere I go," one Muscovite tweeted, "whether at home, in the street or at work. "I thought I was getting sick and having [a] hallucination." Weather experts quoted in the Russian media say that the effects of the gas have been made worse because the current conditions in Moscow are "not conducive to the rapid dispersion of pollutants in the air". With no obvious Middle East connections other than the fact that she was studying Arabic, Miss Karaulova made headline-grabbing news after she disappeared from the Russian capital and was reported to be heading to Syria to join the Islamic State (IS) militant group. Her story was closely followed by all of Russia's major media outlets until she was detained near the Turkey-Syria border, flown back to Moscow and handed back to her relieved father, who had initiated the search for his daughter. Ms Karaulova's case is not unique. Two weeks after her return, Mariam Ismailova, another young woman studying at a well-regarded university in Moscow, went missing amid suspicions that she was also on her way to join IS. Several other students attending universities in large Russian cities are reported to have followed suit. Their fate remains unknown but the considerable media interest in their stories has prompted senior officials to start disclosing figures on just how many Russian nationals are believed to be fighting for IS. Russia's Federal Security Service estimates that Russian passport-holders could account for as many as 8% of IS fighters. "The numbers are becoming really upsetting," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov said on 7 July. "There are currently about 2,200 people from Russia taking part in military operations in Iraq and Syria," he revealed. According to Alexei Malashenko, from Moscow's Carnegie Centre, Russian is now the third most used language within IS's self-proclaimed caliphate, after Arabic and English. And IS has increased its Russian-language propaganda output over the course of this year. In March, IS began broadcasting its daily Al-Bayan Radio news bulletins online in Russian in a range of formats. In early May, the group released the first edition of a new Russian-language magazine called Furat.Press. Later the same month, IS's multilingual media outlet, HMC, published a more sophisticated Russian-language magazine called Istok (The Source). Many officials and observers agree that IS propaganda has steadily become more effective. They note that at least a few of the Russians leaving the country to join IS come from regions other than Muslim-majority areas in the south. Students and young people are often recruited through social media, and leave Russia with the promise of love, affection and a better life under IS. Many Russians were already familiar with reports of militants from the North Caucasus joining IS. More people are leaving the Muslim-majority southern republic of Dagestan to join IS than any other Russian region, according to Varvara Parkhomenko, an expert at the International Crisis Group. Many of the recruits are from Chechnya as well as from Orthodox Christian North Ossetia, she said. And they come from all walks of life, she pointed out. "Poor or rich, well-educated or not... people are going not only to battle but to live, to marry, to preach." The reports have prompted pundits and officials alike to voice concern about the extent of the IS recruitment network in Russia and the effectiveness of the messages that the group directs at Russian audiences. 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. Of the 18-to-24-year-olds surveyed, 28% cited social media as their main news source, compared with 24% for TV. The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism research also suggests 51% of people with online access use social media as a news source. This trend and the rising use of mobile phones to access news are undermining traditional business models. The report, now in its fifth year, is based on a YouGov survey of about 50,000 people across 26 countries, including 2,000 Britons. In its introduction, the report says "a second wave of disruption" has hit news organisations around the world, with "potentially profound consequences both for publishers and the future of news production". Analysis: Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC Technology correspondent For older media organisations struggling to find a profitable path in the online era, there is little comfort to be found in this report. Under 10% of readers in English-speaking countries have paid anything for online news in the past year - so advertising looks the only sustainable business model. No wonder, then, that the march of the ad-blockers is seen by some news businesses as a threat to their very survival. And while there still seems to be a big appetite for news, it is to social-media platforms that users are increasingly turning to find it. This means Facebook is the most powerful force in global news, potentially offering publishers access to vast audiences but leaving them dependent on the whims of its algorithm. The good news for the old media is it is still producing far more of the heavyweight news stories read by the online audience, with readers turning to the newcomers for softer fare. The bad news is that making money out of the expensive business of serious journalism is getting ever harder. Facebook and other social media outlets have moved beyond being "places of news discovery" to become the place people consume their news, it suggests. And news via social media is particularly popular among women and young people. Meanwhile, sales of printed newspapers continue to fall, while consumers remain reluctant to pay much for online news content. The study found Facebook was the most common source - used by 44% of all those surveyed - to watch, share and comment on news. Next came YouTube on 19% , with Twitter on 10%. Apple News accounted for 4% in the US and 3% in the UK, while messaging app Snapchat was used by just 1% or less in most countries. Facebook has recently been embroiled in a row over whether its trending topics section - which is edited by humans and designed to highlight the subjects being discussed by users around the world - was suppressing stories that supported conservative political viewpoints. The social media giant strenuously denied the accusations, and an internal investigation found no evidence of bias - but it did make a number of changes, including: According to the survey, consumers are happy to have their news selected by algorithms, with 36% saying they would like news chosen based on what they had read before and 22% happy for their news agenda to be based on what their friends had read. But 30% still wanted the human oversight of editors and other journalists in picking the news agenda and many had fears about algorithms creating news "bubbles" where people only see news from like-minded viewpoints. "People like the convenience of algorithms choosing their news but are worried about whether that would mean they were missing out on key points or challenging viewpoints," said lead author Nic Newman. The other big change noted by the research was the continued rise of smartphones to access news. Most of those surveyed said they used a smartphone to access news, with the highest levels in Sweden (69%), Korea (66%) and Switzerland (61%), and they were more likely to use social media rather than going directly to a news website or app. The report also suggests users are noticing the original news brand behind social media content less than half of the time, something that is likely to worry traditional media outlets. Such outlets "cannot afford to ignore social media, especially if they want to reach young people and women", said Mr Newman, but he admitted that created a dilemma. "In doing so, they risk losing control of content and that relationship with the reader which can drive them to other content, so they have to balance using social media platforms with building up a loyal user base of their own," he said. The report is supported by BBC News, Google and Ofcom, among other partners. Mr Osborne, now editor of the London Evening Standard, stood by headlines in the paper critical of Tory pledges on social care and immigration. He also said Theresa May had moved away from the international liberalism and globalisation pursued by David Cameron. He was speaking on BBC Radio 4's Political Thinking. BBC Election Live: Rolling text and video updates Theresa May denies social care U-turn Conservative manifesto: At-a-glance Conservative manifesto Mr Osborne was critical of the Tory plan, originally included in the party's election manifesto, to pay for social care by taking funds from the recipient's estate after death, down to a cut-off point of £100,000. The party has since promised to cap the amount taken from an estate, after facing a barrage of criticism. Mr Osborne said the plans were "were clearly badly thought through, because the prime minister herself decided to rethink them." He also defended an Evening Standard headline denouncing Mrs May's pledge to get annual net migration below 100,000 as "politically rash and economically illiterate". "The Evening Standard is saying `You have got a promise to reduce immigration so tell us how you are going to do it. "Which section of industry is not going to have the labour it currently needs? Which families are not going to be able to be reunited with members of their families abroad? Which universities are not going to have overseas students? "If the Conservative government can answer those questions, all well and good. If they can't, the Evening Standard is going to go on asking the question." Mr Osborne, who has stood down as a Conservative MP after being sacked as a chancellor by Mrs May last July, denied he was exacting his revenge on the prime minister. But he said the paper would not pull its punches. "What the paper is doing is standing up for a set of values that the paper has long espoused and by a happy coincidence are also the values I applied as chancellor." He said Mrs May had taken the party in a sharply different direction since taking over from Mr Cameron, who resigned after losing the EU referendum last year. "Both Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are offering, in very different ways, a retreat from international liberalism and globalisation. "That is quite a development in British politics, and I think there are quite a lot of people who are uncertain whether that is the right development and I want to make sure that the Evening Standard is asking on their behalf questions about that." Mr Osborne told presenter Nick Robinson he was not missing front line politics. "I'm really enjoying covering the campaign as an editor. It's a very different perspective and it's good fun." She said her comments in March were "insensitive to South Africans". Ms Zille will step down from all party leadership positions but remain the premier of Western Cape province. The row threatened the DA's popularity, which is trying to extend its appeal among black people. Party leader Mmusi Maimane said the deal will help DA focus on the 2019 general election. He said the party chose to avoid a protracted legal battle and instead seek reconciliation. Ms Zille had tweeted that colonialism was not only negative: The comments caused public outrage forcing her to apologise at least three times with the DA bowing to political pressure to suspend her last week. She said in an interview last week with BBC Focus on Africa that her comments on the legacy of colonialism were not any different to views expressed by among others, including former South African President Nelson Mandela and former Zambian leader Kenneth Kaunda. She also said that similar views appear in textbooks used in South African schools. Ms Zille said in the interview that her critics had to be consistent in their criticism and should not victimise her. But today at a press conference with Mr Maimane she said she apologised "unreservedly". Ms Zille read a prepared statement saying her comments were "indefensible" and "insensitive to South Africans who suffered from colonial oppression". Helen Zille looked like a naughty school child sitting next to her headmaster as she apologised for her controversial tweets. The apology and the deal that will see Ms Zille relinquish her party leadership positions has somewhat restored Mmusi Maimane's authority as leader. There is however no doubt that this controversy damaged the DA's long-term project to unseat the governing African National Congress (ANC) in 2019. Many black South Africans who backed the DA after becoming disillusioned with the troubled ANC felt offended by Ms Zille's earlier attempt to defend the tweets. The question is whether black DA voters, who were ridiculed for being subservient following Ms Zille's tweets, will continue to support the party. She also said she had "undermined" Mr Maimane saying that he is the leader of the party and "we must all get behind his leadership". BBC's Southern Africa correspondent Karen Allen reports that Ms Zille, who was a key figure in the anti-apartheid movement, has been accused by critics of damaging his leadership. Mr Maimane said he found his colleague's tweets offensive but added that she should continue with her government job - running the Western Cape Province. Paul and Sandra Dunham "vehemently reject" allegations of fraud and money-laundering while working at a US company. Last month their bid to avoid extradition was rejected by the High Court. Their lawyers have now asked permission to appeal to the Supreme Court. Mr Dunham, 58, was chief executive and president of Pace, a US company manufacturing soldering irons for the electronics industry. He was indicted on 13 counts of fraud and money-laundering by a grand jury in Maryland, in December 2011. Mrs Dunham, 57, is accused of aiding and abetting him. Mr Dunham said he wanted the Supreme Court to recognise the "improper way the US criminal system has been exploited to cause Sandra and me the greatest personal, emotional and financial hardship imaginable". The High Court heard the couple were in the US for a decade from 1999 to 2009. England have the ability and mindset to emerge from what is a tough pool, Scotland's match with Ireland could decide top spot in their group, while Wales will expect to go through - although Georgia will be determined to pull off an upset. The level of competition in the sport is getting closer and closer across the world - we saw that improvement in the Six Nations this year. However, the quality of the Rugby Championship is a bit lower at the moment - New Zealand excepted - because South Africa are struggling and Australia have their problems. So with the northern hemisphere sides being much closer to the southern hemisphere teams now, Japan 2019 could be when a team from the north regains the World Cup. It's old fashioned to call it a "Pool of Death", so let's just call it what it is - it's a group that nobody would want. I can imagine all the coaches, even New Zealand's Steve Hansen, thinking, "I don't want that hard a group," but England head coach Eddie Jones, France's Guy Noves and their Argentina counterpart Daniel Hourcade have got it. Argentina can be unpredictable - they will be strong but I'm not sure about their age profile. In years gone by it has tended to be quite high and they haven't got a lot of resources or strength in depth. Understrength England face Argentina in two Tests in June but Jones' tourists are massive underdogs and I don't expect them to win as they will have 15 players away with the British and Irish Lions. With 15 of your best players out you should not be able to go to Argentina and beat a full-strength Pumas. France have improved but they are typically not great away from home. However, they are traditionally good in World Cup tournaments so it's a tough one for England. But Jones' team has got a different mindset to Stuart Lancaster's side, which went out in the pool stages in 2015. The current team have won a Grand Slam and a Six Nations Championship and many of them have won three consecutive Tests against Australia away from home. They have an identity as winners. He says they have to be ready to beat anyone but you would prefer a comfortable route to the quarter-final. You want a good sweat and some competition but don't want to be beaten. If I was playing I would have liked an easy group before what is going to be a hard quarter-final, whoever you play. Every side in the top eight can beat one another on the day. Ireland and Scotland know each other so well. Scotland beat Ireland at Murrayfield in the Six Nations this year by scoring three tries so they will have no problem believing they can win that game. But both sides will know they can get through to the quarter-finals, while Scotland saw off Japan when they played in 2015. Japan could be a bit better at home than they were under Eddie Jones in England, when they stunned South Africa in the group stages. But we don't know much about their new boss Jamie Joseph and we know that Jones is a special coach. Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt is a master tactician but we don't know much about incoming Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend at international level. Townsend will want to build on the side that won three home games in the Six Nations but improve on those poor away performances. He'll have 20 games or so, including two more Six Nations tournaments, before the World Cup to get those poor performances out of the window and build a team strong enough to get through. Georgia are a tough emerging side who have been banging on the door of the Six Nations for a while, wanting to be recognised. They have an opportunity in the next two seasons to boost their team and build themselves so they can prove a point against Wales. Wales should have been in their prime in 2015 but they were injury ravaged and conceded a soft try to lose the quarter-final to South Africa. In 2011 they were a young squad that got to the semi-finals. In 2019 a lot of those key players will all be over 30 years old - not past their sell-by date, but the squad needs some new players coming through. There are still some question marks over whether Warren Gatland wants to continue with Wales after the Lions tour, but he has a great record as a coach and if he's still there, his and the players' experience will see them through the group. Australia were in a similar position to Wales in 2011 and 2015. Rugby union is facing difficult times in Australia so it will be interesting to see how they do in 2019. They are always good in World Cups, whether they are coming in with poor or good form, but we'll see if they can still be successful with all the challenges they face domestically. Holders New Zealand have got a nice work-out leading into a quarter-final. Two-time champions South Africa are nowhere near the force they once were - they are in huge decline. There are over 350 South African players playing outside their country and I don't see them challenging unless a quick storm of talent starts appearing in the next two years. Although Italy beat South Africa in November they won't spring a surprise in the World Cup - they were appalling in the Six Nations. Head coach Conor O'Shea has the opportunity to improve but I'm not sure they have enough time. A lot of players learn by rote so that things eventually become automatically - that's difficult to do in a short space of time unless you have the natural talent. But Sergio Parisse has been Italy's best player for over a decade now and they need someone new of his calibre to come through. Jerry was talking to BBC Sport's Jack Skelton Media playback is not supported on this device But, after 87 years of speedway at Brandon, it will be the start of their final season at their long-time home. And they are not the only long-established Midlands club looking for a new home as National League side Cradley Heath are in the same boat. Coventry have already identified a possible new track for next season. But the site lies on the border between Coventry and Rugby, so the Bees still face plenty of planning issues before the proposal becomes reality. And the only one apparent certainty is that Brandon will finally close at the end of this year to be turned into housing. Cradley Heath, who enjoyed their greatest days in the 1980s, are a lot further from finding a solution to their problem. Since returning to the sport six years ago they have been forced to share with other clubs while they work with Dudley Council to find a suitable site for a stadium in their traditional home. This year they will be back sharing with Wolverhampton at Monmore Green. "We'll never give up," says Cradley Heath director, Nigel Pearson - one of the best-known names of televised speedway. "It's still our aim to take the Heathens back to a place of our own. "There's been an exhaustive site search but there's nothing constructive to report, which is very disappointing." Mr Hichilema is accused of obstructing the motorcade of President Edgar Lungu when it was travelling to a traditional ceremony at the weekend. Mr Hichilema's UPND party has in the past accused the government of trying to stifle all dissent. Last year, President Lungu narrowly beat Mr Hichilema in the presidential election. The UPND is challenging the result of the vote. The opposition leader's lawyer Jack Mwiimbu told the BBC Focus on Africa radio that Mr Hichilema denies any wrong-doing. He added that his client had not been formally charged. The authorities have not commented on the politician's detention. Mr Hichilema was detained after armed police raided his family home, during which teargas canisters were thrown inside. His lawyer questioned why only Mr Hichilema was being held despite him having been in a convoy of more than 60 cars when the incident happened. Mr Mwiimbu said his client was being detained "based on treasonable charges under the laws of Zambia" and had therefore been denied bail. Mr Hichilema is already facing charges of sedition dating from last October, a move his team said was an attempt by the ruling party to silence dissent. Hartwig Fischer, whose appointment has yet to be officially confirmed, would be the first non-British head of the institution since the 1860s. Dr Fischer is currently director general of the Dresden State Art Collections and was formerly director of the Folkwang Museum in Essen. Neil MacGregor steps down as director of the British Museum in December. The museum is the most popular visitor attraction in Britain, welcoming 6.7 million people in 2014. According to The Times, Dr Fischer's appointment has been approved by the museum's trustees and will shortly be signed off on by Prime Minister David Cameron. The last non-British head of the museum was the Italian-born Sir Anthony Panizzi, who held the post of principal librarian between 1856 and 1866. Dr Fischer began his museum career at the Kunstmuseum in Basel, where he was curator of 19th Century and modern art from 2001 to 2006. He has never worked in Britain but did co-curate a 2006 exhibition of Wassily Kandinsky's work that was shown at Tate Modern in London. Dr Fischer studied History of Art, History and Classical Archaeology in Bonn, Berlin, Rome and Paris and holds a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Bonn. Born in Hamburg in 1962, the 52-year-old speaks German, English, French and Italian and is married to Ilaria Piqueras Fischer, a psychoanalyst. Dr Fischer was not among those initially linked to the post but was reportedly put forward as a candidate by MacGregor himself. She spent four days stranded on the shallow Bramble Bank before freeing herself and being secured in deeper water between East Cowes on the Isle of Wight and Lee-on-the-Solent on the mainland. The 51,000-tonne vessel was towed to Southampton port on Thursday and salvors are to hand over responsibility of the ship to the Norwegian owners Hoegh Autoliners. It is thought the total value of the cargo could be up to £60m. While the ship is docked in Southampton, salvors will work to make the decks safe so the owners can take back control of the vessel. It is thought that much of the cargo is underwater but many of the cars remained securely in place while the ship was listing at 52 degrees. The salvage company Svitzer is based in the Netherlands and has worked on operations all over the world. Salvage master Bram Sperling has worked on more than 90 missions. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said: "I congratulate all those who have worked tirelessly day and night to bring this ship back to port. "I would like to pay particular tribute to Hugh Shaw who oversaw the operation, with the help of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, salvage operators, and the pilots and tugs of the port of Southampton. "They battled exceptionally difficult weather conditions with extraordinary dedication and courage. A full investigation into how the incident occurred is ongoing." The Marine Accident Investigation Branch is to investigate the incident fully once the ship has been secured by the salvage team. 25 November 2016 Last updated at 19:31 GMT Households need many buckets so that water can been collected from communal boreholes, where there are usually long queues. Video journalist: Tendai Msiyazviriyo Barrie Newton, 71, of Rhuddlan, was the owner of the Light Works on Vale Road, Rhyl, where the blaze broke out on 23 December. Neighbouring properties were evacuated as emergency crews tackled the fire. A North Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said the blaze is not being treated as suspicious. Michael Grimes also sent "inappropriate sexual messages" to girls under the age of 16. Grimes, 25, from Montrose, sent one girl indecent pictures after she refused his request for photos of herself. He was placed on the sex offenders register ahead of sentencing at Dundee Sheriff Court next month. The court was told Grimes' youngest victim, who was completely unknown to him, was nine-years-old when he started sending her private messages on Facebook after she accepted his friend request. Fiscal depute Donna Brown said Grimes had asked the youngster to assess the size of his private parts in the messages. Miss Brown said the girl told her mother, who contacted police. A search of Grimes' home had revealed pictures on his laptop and his mobile phone, as well as the pair of pink boxer shorts he had been wearing in some of the indecent pictures. In another incident, Grimes met up with a 14-year-old girl at his home after saying he would give her cigarettes, but the victim left when she "got freaked out" by him. The court heard Grimes asked the girl to send pictures of herself over Facebook, which she refused to do, but he sent her four or five pictures of his private parts to her. Grimes, 25, of St John's Place, Montrose, pleaded guilty to using lewd, indecent and libidinous practices towards a 14-year-old girl between March 2011 and October 2012. He also admitted sending written sexual communications and pictures to another 14-year-old girl between April 2012 and April 2014. Grimes also admitted a further charge related to a nine-year-old girl who he caused to look at sexual images by sending a picture of his private parts over social media in March 2015. Sheriff Alastair Brown deferred sentence for background reports and released Grimes on bail. He said: "Girls who are or maybe under the age of 16 are off limits for any sexual conversation. "Girls who are over 16 are off limits unless they consent explicitly. "Unless you observe these rules you will find yourself in jail for a long time." Scotland booked their place in Australia and New Zealand at the start of the year with the Durham captain as joint interim head coach. The 38-year-old was then England's assistant coach for the World Twenty 20 in Bangladesh in March. "Paul will bring a calmness and confidence to our environment," said Scotland head coach Grant Bradburn. "He is very familiar with all of our players having been a support coach with Scotland during the World Cup qualifiers in February. "Having the experience of Paul in our corner will be a huge asset for all of us during this event." New Zealander Bradburn was appointed in April, with Collingwood and Craig Wright taking up temporary roles for the ICC qualifying tournament after Pete Steindl stood down last December. Collingwood, England's most capped one-day player and World T20 winning captain who still playing county cricket for Durham, worked briefly under Ashley Giles for England but his role was discontinued when Peter Moores returned as head coach. Now he will bid to upset England when they meet the Saltires in Christchurch on 23 February. Scotland also face Australia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, New Zealand and Afghanistan at the World Cup. "It's a great pleasure for me to be back on the coaching team with the Scotland squad," said Collingwood. "I'm very much looking forward to working with them to help get the team fully prepared for these incredibly important matches." The plans will see Coleg Menai's campus at Llangefni expanded to develop a specialist technology and energy centre, and an engineering site. The college also wants to set up business "incubator" units. The new Wylfa Newydd nuclear plant will need 8,500 construction workers and a 1,000 station staff when built. As well as plans for Horizon's replacement nuclear station on the island, there are renewable energy projects and the whole of Anglesey is an enterprise zone. The Anglesey Energy Island strategy aims to bring in 2,500 new jobs and £2.3bn of investment over 15 years. The college is part of Grŵp Llandrillo Menai - Wales' largest further education institution - which also includes Coleg Llandrillo in Conwy and Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor in Gwynedd. Group chief executive Glyn Jones told BBC Wales it was working closely with the Horizon project on Wylfa. It is hoped local people will make up at least 20% of the construction workforce. "We already have engineering and construction courses in Rhos-on-Sea, Rhyl, Dolgellau, Bangor and Llangefni - but we need to expand Llangefni," said Mr Jones. "This is going to be a massive project - the equivalent of the London 2012 Olympic village - and this could cause a big displacement from across local employers." But with countries racing to be first in the medal table, some nations have decided that winning for winning's sake may just not be enough to induce athletes to give their all. Some are offering cash bonuses to medal winners while others are offering incentives ranging from apartments to cars. But who is getting how much varies wildly with Singapore promising a whopping $745,264 for a gold medal while Nigerian gold medallists will only get $2,000. Moldova, one of Europe's poorest countries, lies somewhere in between, paying gold medal winners $132,000 after significantly boosting its reward scheme. But not every country rewards its successful athletes with cash. Apartments are also a popular bonus and Kazakhstan staggers its rewards according to the colour of the medal. Gold will get athletes a three-bedroom flat. silver a two-bedroom home and bronze winners will have to make do with a one-bedroom apartment. With bonuses of that nature, Kazakh athletes' families no doubt cheer their loved ones on with extra vigour. Ukraine's silver medallist Sergiy Kulish will receive $85,000 in cash and a new apartment, according to the Ukrainian daily Segodnya. The number of bedrooms was not disclosed but the shooter will also be given a more practical present by his local council: a new air rifle. Medal-winning South Korean athletes, meanwhile, have been given the gift of time. They will only have to complete four weeks of basic military training instead of the mandatory two years. In Russia, athletes gain not time but influence, according to tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda. "In our country, Olympic success is a direct line... to power," the paper proclaims, citing as examples boxer Nikolay Valuev, wrestler Alexander Karelin and gymnast Svetlana Khorkina, who all became MPs. By comparison, the West is relatively mean. French gold medallists can expect the equivalent of $55,000, US and Canadian winners $25,000, and Germans $20,000.  Then there are Britain, Norway, Sweden and Croatia, none of which give their athletes any cash at all.  A Belarusian sausage company back in 2008 offered free sausages for life to any Belarussian who earned a gold medal, and the Iranians are handing out golden-coloured shoes. British medallists will just have to look to the Honours List for their rewards. 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. Shows include a 30-minute guest-edited art magazine show on BBC Two, called Artsnight, which will start in Spring. Another show, Artists Question Time, will be a 60-minute one-off debate hosted by Kirsty Wark on BBC Four. "I strongly believe that arts should be for everyone with more primetime arts content on the BBC," said BBC director general Tony Hall. The new shows will air from March, with seasons planned on dance, film, theatre and poetry across the BBC. The year-long campaign aims to "encourage creativity and participation" in the arts. Editors of Artsnight will be actress Maxine Peake, Sunday Times journalist Lynn Barber, writer and satirist Armando Iannucci and director of Tate Modern, Chris Dercon. They will each edit the show, which will be aired on BBC Two following Newsnight every Friday in March. The BBC will also team up with What Next? - a cultural movement that brings together UK-wide arts organisations. Working with the British Film Institute (BFI), Jonathan Ross will front a documentary exploring The Secrets Of Pinewood. The BBC Two documentary will see the former Film 2010 presenter join a number of famous faces as he goes behind the scenes of the famous studios. Elsewhere, BBC Four will continue the film theme with In Conversation…, where actors and directors discuss their craft in front of an audience at the BFI. Other seasons devoted to theatre and poetry include BBC Two adaptation of The Dresser, with Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Anthony Hopkins taking lead parts in the Ronald Harwood play, and a profile of the poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy. The announcement of a boost to arts content across the BBC comes as it is claimed the organisation spent nearly £7m on consultants last year. Quoting the Freedom of Information Act, the Guardian reported that the total cost in the year ending March 2014 was £6.93m. A BBC spokesman said it had a legal obligation to use consultants and it was cost effective to use external companies. "We are legally obliged to use external organisations to audit our accounts," the corporation said. "On occasion, just like any other large organisation, we also use external companies for specialist services - this saves the BBC millions of pounds because it is cheaper than employing permanent, full-time staff to carry out work which would only last a short period." A large-scale search was launched when the child went missing from the Primark store in Northumberland Street shortly before 17:00 BST on Wednesday. She was found just over an hour later a few miles away in Gosforth and "quickly reunited with her mother", police said. The teenagers, aged 13 and 14, are in custody on suspicion of child abduction. A spokesman for Northumbria Police said: "It was quickly established that she had left the store with two teenage girls who she did not know." The force said travel networks in the city were alerted and officers scoured CCTV footage from council and retail premises in the area. Ch Insp Dave Gould said: "This has been an incredibly distressing time for the girl's family and specialist officers are working with and supporting the family. "We mobilised all available local police resources to make sure the girl was found as quickly as possible and also included assistance from the public, and many of our partner agencies including Newcastle local authority and university as well as staff from retail premises, bus companies, train station and metro system. "I would like to thank all of those involved for their help in finding this little girl and helping reunite her with her mother." Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact police.

It has been banned from operating in New Delhi following the alleged rape by a driver of a female passenger. Meanwhile, a judge in Madrid has ordered a temporary halt to the service and Thai authorities say the firm lacks proper registration and insurance. Uber is yet to comment on the latest legal cases against it. District attorneys in San Francisco and Los Angeles claim Uber made "untrue or misleading representations" regarding the quality of its own background checks on drivers. They also accuse the firm of: District attorneys are seeking an injunction against Uber that could see its drivers temporarily banned from the two cities. By contrast, rival firm Lyft has reached a settlement with the same district attorneys. It will submit its app to the authorities for accuracy checks as well as seeking authorisation to operate in airports. It will also pay civil penalties of $500,000, half of which will be paid within 30 days while the rest could be waived if the firm complies with the terms of the injunction. Other US cities have also begun legal action against Uber. In Portland, Oregon, the firm is being sued for failing to seek consent on how it would be regulated. Meanwhile, Max Tyler, a Colorado state representative, has questioned how it vets drivers, alleging that the firm does not run an FBI background check, something which other taxi drivers have to have. Its process of recruiting new drivers is also being looked at by authorities in New Delhi after a driver, who was previously accused of raping a female passenger in 2011, was cleared to drive for Uber. The driver has been arrested for another alleged rape and appeared in court on Monday. He had obtained a reference from the Delhi Police, but police spokesman Rajan Bhagat told Reuters that the certificate appeared to be fake. Indian police also questioned an Uber executive about the checks run on drivers. Police said that Uber's drivers did not have the special badges that it issues to taxi drivers proving that they have cleared background checks. They said that Uber and similar services that operate online platforms linking drivers with customers are registered in India as technology businesses rather than transport companies. In a statement Uber said it would work with the Indian government to "establish clear background checks currently absent in their commercial transportation licensing programmes". It added that it would also partner with women's safety groups and "invest in technology advances to help make New Delhi a safer city for women". Uber defended the way it checked drivers, saying it was a responsibility it took seriously. According to the firm, it is on track to complete more than two million background checks this year. The company, which now operates in 52 countries, was recently valued at $40bn after an investment by venture capitalists. But since its launch the business, which uses a smartphone app to connect riders with drivers, has proved hugely controversial. In Europe, registered taxi drivers' unions have staged strikes and protests against what they see as light regulation of Uber and similar services. Uber's business practices have also been questioned and doubts raised over whether its tracking system breaks data protection laws. But even so, today's announcement - that the forces' budget would meet the 2% of GDP Nato target until 2020 - caught many Whitehall insiders by surprise. During the election campaign it was calculated that this would add £6bn a year to military spending by 2020, but with new economic growth projections that figure could be even higher. One person who can say, "I told you so," is former Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Back in spring, weeks before the election, he told me - as we finished an interview for Radio 4 - that he was confident the UK would meet the 2% target, that he had received assurances to that effect from No 10, and that this would only be announced after the country had gone to the polls. As the Nato chief during September 2014's Wales Summit, when that spending target had been set, he had a very particular interest in this. Try as I could, I couldn't find a second source for what Mr Rasmussen had told me, and we had finished recording when he said it, so the story went no further. As the election campaign continued, both the Conservatives and Labour refused to commit to the 2% target and many, including senior officers in the forces, concluded heavy cuts were on the cards. Not only did the Conservatives allow themselves to be painted as a party about to take an axe to cherished regiments or warships, but they remained true to the political logic of that position. So, for example, when Andrew Neil and I cross examined the party defence spokespeople late in April, for the Daily Politics Defence and Security Debate, Mr Fallon would not concede that threats to Britain's security had increased - despite events in Ukraine or the rise of the Islamic State group. Now that he can count on a substantially bigger budget, he will presumably have to change this position, and argue that the UK is buying new maritime patrol aircraft or fighter planes because a worsening international security environment demands it. What a difference a (Budget) day makes. So unexpected is this turn of events that many Whitehall-watchers have been looking for small print, a catch that might mean the government isn't being quite as generous as it suggests. Attention focused first on a new £1.5bn Security Fund for the intelligence and counter terrorist people, also announced today, but apparently, no, that's quite separate to the defence pledge. Then others asked whether some spending such as war pensions or peacekeeping operations, might get lumped into the MoD's budget, eating away at the increase. While we cannot yet categorically rule out such budgetary sleight of hand, there can be no doubt that, particularly towards the end of the Parliament, there will still be substantially more cash going through Defence. Many have been asking me today "why on earth didn't they say this before the election?" The explanation that they hadn't yet done the sums back in April doesn't hold water - assurances had been given to certain people like Mr Rasmussen. I understand similar signals had been given privately to the US. So what do we conclude from all this? That in an election where the health service and benefits cuts were key battlegrounds, even a party that historically has prided itself as strong on defence feels unable to make the argument for spending more on it. As the top brass and contractors ease the champagne corks, celebrating their unexpected good fortune, that's worth remembering. For more analysis on the 2015 Budget, see Newsnight Live Researchers found that less than a third of experimental clinical trials in the UK were available in Scotland. The data also showed that only 19 of the 39 trials which could help patients under the age of 16 were available. Campaigners at Cancer Research UK said the lack of trials for younger patients in Scotland was "deeply worrying". The figures were revealed at the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) conference in Liverpool on Tuesday. One author of the study and chairwoman of the NCRI Teenage and Young Adults Clinical Studies Group, Dr Angela Edgar, said: "Our study confirms that children and young adults in Scotland have fewer clinical trials available to them compared to the rest of the UK. "The most disadvantaged are 16-24 year olds. "There are fewer trials for them to begin with, and unlike younger children, they are often treated at centres where trial recruitment in this age group may be unfamiliar and overlooked." Researchers in Edinburgh looked at clinical trials data from the UK Clinical Research Network Cancer Trials Portfolio, and found that, of the 534 clinical trials suitable for patients aged 16-24, only 152 were available in Scotland. Problems can arise when hospitals only treat a small number of young cancer patients, as staff may not be used to recruiting this group for clinical trials, according to the NCRI. It also said there was a lack of information about clinical trials available for younger patients, making it more difficult for hospitals to refer patients. NCRI clinical research director Professor Matt Seymour said: "Compared with most countries, cancer patients in the UK are much more likely to be offered the chance to take part in clinical research as part of their treatment. "Participating in research is a 'win-win': it brings direct benefits by ensuring you get access to modern treatment and intensive support; but it is also the best way to contribute to improving treatment for patients in the future. "So, it is hugely important to highlight groups where we could do better and Dr Edgar's study throws down a challenge to increase the access to research for young people in Scotland." Developers have said the proposal would see the listed building on Calton Hill become a "world class" facility. But a report presented to councillors said the plan would have a "significant adverse impact" on the site. The development's backers have insisted their proposal is the only realistic option for the site. Also known as New Parliament House, the 19th Century building was once intended to house the Scottish Parliament. A decision on the hotel plan will be made next week. Planning officials said in their report: "The proposed interventions to the listed building would have a significant adverse impact on the architectural integrity, composition and special character of one of the UK's finest listed buildings. "Alternative consents, for the redevelopment of the building into an international music school, exist." The report said the plan does not comply with national guidelines on historic buildings, the city's development plan or Edinburgh planning guidelines. It includes partial demolition of the existing structure, and the building of additional accommodation wings for the hotel. The report concludes: "Proposals for demolition do show that the luxury hotel would provide economic benefits to the city. "However, the proposals fail to address the requirements of HESPS (Historic Environment Scotland Policy Statement 2016). Further, the demolition cannot be granted in isolation as test c) of HESPS is inextricably linked to the economic growth generated from redevelopment proposals. "These proposals are considered unacceptable." Backers of the hotel plan have expressed their disappointment over the report. They repeated their view that the proposal is the only one which guarantees the future of the original building. Urbanist Hotels chairman David Orr said: "We need to be very clear about what is now at stake for the very future of the Old Royal High School. "Our revised proposal is the result of 18 months intensive work and considerable investment in order to fulfil our contractual obligation with the Council. During this time we have taken time to listen to a wide range of stakeholders and heritage experts and taken their views on board. "We now have a design solution which not only protects and promotes the magnificence of Hamilton's centrepiece building but also has a viable and long-term investment plan in place to maintain it as part of the city's living and breathing heritage." He added: "This is the only proposal that can realistically guarantee the future of the Hamilton building - both architecturally and financially. "Without it, we risk another 50 years of disrepair and misuse, which would be catastrophic for both the building and the city." The jury at Southwark Crown Court failed to return a verdict on four other counts. Harris, who found success with novelty pop hits and on children's TV, made no reaction when the not guilty verdicts were read out. The 86-year-old is currently in jail after a 2014 trial saw him convicted of 12 sex offences against four females, including a girl under 10. After deliberating for just under a week, the jury found Harris not guilty of indecently assaulting a young autograph hunter on a visit to a Portsmouth radio station with her mother at the end of the 1970s. He was also cleared of groping a blind, disabled woman at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London in 1977, and sexually assaulting a woman in her 40s after filming a TV show in 2004. Judge Alistair McCreath discharged the jury from deliberating on the further four counts he was accused of. These other alleged offences included Harris putting his hand up a teenage girl's skirt at a youth music event at London's Lyceum Theatre. Another teenager accused him of grabbing her breast and sliding his hand between her legs while she helped on the TV programme Star Games in the summer of 1978. A 13-year-old girl claimed Harris asked her: "Do you often get molested on a Saturday morning?" as he allegedly felt underneath her top after a children's TV show in 1983. He was also accused of stroking a 19-year-old's bare back at a music studio near London Bridge in 2002, while allegedly making a sexual comment. Stephen Vullo QC, defending, had told jurors Harris was innocent of these latest charges, as well as the indecent assaults over which he was convicted in 2014. He blamed a "media frenzy" for making Harris "vulnerable to people making accusations against him". The prosecution team asked for a week to decide whether to apply for a retrial. Harris has been remanded in custody until then. His defence team said Harris was expected to be automatically released from prison for the sentence he is currently serving this summer. Outside court, his solicitor, Daniel Berke, said: "Mr Harris is grateful for the care and attention this jury has given to his case and for the not guilty verdicts returned." Until his arrest in 2013, Rolf Harris had been a fixture on screens in Britain and beyond since television took off in the 1950s. He had shown early promise in sport and art - narrowly missing out on representing his native Australia as a swimmer at the 1948 Olympic Games and staging exhibitions of his paintings from the age of 16. Illness led him to focus on painting, and he moved to London to enrol in art school, performing at cabaret clubs to earn money before auditioning for children's TV. Harris became a regular on the BBC and commercial TV in the UK and Australia, hosting variety shows, children's programmes and animal welfare documentaries - the exposure even led to pop success and appearances at the Glastonbury Festival. But it all ended with his conviction in 2014 for 12 indecent assaults on four women and girls between the 1960s and '80s. Rolf Harris: Full profile Fire authorities are also warning of dangerous hot and windy conditions on Christmas and Boxing Day. Crews were still tackling a blaze at Scotsburn, west of the city, for a third day on Monday. The Country Fire Authority's (CFA) Craig Lapsley said one firefighter had been injured, but it was extremely fortunate no lives had been lost. Some firefighters were struggling to stand due to the high temperatures and strong winds. But Mr Lapsley said cooler weather on Sunday provided a reprieve. "All people are accounted for which is a great result. We were blessed we got rain," Mr Lapsley told the ABC. "The winds will be up a little bit this afternoon, the key issue is that it will progressively get hotter over the next few days and build to Friday, so we are sort of focusing now towards Christmas Day being the hottest day of the week and between now and then, we want to make sure any fire, any lightning strike that is hitting the bush we get on top of." Scotsburn residents told Australian media they were lucky to be alive. "Our plan was to pack up the valuables and obviously photos and those sorts of things and leave, and we got a load in the car, and the fire turned, and that's all the time we had," Bruce Rae said. Newham Council is urging ministers to reduce the highest stake on Fixed-Odds Betting Terminals (FOBTs) from £100 to £2. It says they have "sucked the life blood out of local economies". An initial plea was rejected in July. But Newham has resubmitted the plan, saying 25% of English councils back it. The government said it would continue to monitor effectiveness of controls. The Association of British Bookmakers said: "It is difficult to understand the justification for the time and money councils are expending on this resubmission or why they might expect a different outcome." The original proposal was submitted under legislation which allows councils to urge central government to change the law to help them promote the "sustainability of local communities". The latest submission comes after talks with the Local Government Association (LGA), which believes the government should reconsider its decision. It means talks will be held between the LGA and the government over the next six months. £1.6bn profit made by bookmakers from the machines in a year* £100 maximum stake per bet £2 what campaigners believe the maximum stake should be £500 maximum win per bet 34,874 number of FOBTs in betting shops in the UK* There has been a significant rise in the amount of money gambled using FOBTs in recent years. Between October 2013 and September 2014, £1.6bn was lost by gamblers using the machines, up from £1.3bn in 2010-11, according to the Gambling Commission. Newham Council has claimed it is possible to bet up to £18,000 in an hour using them. Earlier this year, new rules were introduced which meant anyone wanting to place a stake of more than £50 on the machines had to interact with staff or set up an account with a bookmaker. The government said the change would allow staff to monitor behaviour and act if they identified signs of problem gambling. 'I lost £400k using High Street betting machines' The street with 18 betting shops A government spokesman said: "We introduced stronger gambling controls to help further protect players and promote responsible gambling in April." He added: "The government will continue to monitor the effectiveness of existing controls and will take further action if necessary." But Sir Robin Wales said "lax planning rules" had led to a proliferation of bookmakers in Newham, where there are 83 betting shop licences. He said: "By reducing the profits made on these machines bookmakers will be forced to think again about their shop numbers." He added: "The government must now listen, and not miss this opportunity to act in support of 93 councils representing an astounding 23 million people." A spokesman for the Association of British Bookmakers said: "The government made a decision on this issue just six months ago and highlighted that local authorities have sufficient powers, via the licensing process, to manage the presence of betting shops on the high street." He added: "The ABB and its members will continue to work with local authorities and the Local Government Association in partnership to develop initiatives that are relevant to local communities." A spokesman for the LGA said the body was looking forward to talks beginning in the new year. Some powers over gaming machines with a maximum stake of £10 or more in Scotland are expected to be devolved to Holyrood as part of the Scotland Bill. The article said Mr Wen's family members "have controlled assets worth at least $2.7bn (£1.7bn)". A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the report had "ulterior motives". Both the NYT's Chinese and English sites are being blocked inside China, as are references to the report on micro-blogging sites. "Some reports smear China and have ulterior motives," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said when asked about the story in a daily press briefing. On the blocking, he said the internet was managed "in accordance with laws". In its report, the New York Times said Mr Wen's relatives' holdings included property, insurance and construction firms. By John SudworthBBC News, Shanghai Often referred to as "Grandpa Wen" by state media, the premier is one of the few senior Chinese politicians with the popular touch, usually the first to appear at the side of victims of earthquakes or other disasters as a kind of consoler-in-chief. But there have long been rumours that his decade in the job has brought more tangible benefits to his immediate family, and now the New York Times has put a figure on it. The more than $2.7bn in controlled assets reported by the newspaper are held not by the Chinese premier himself, but by his wife, mother, siblings, children, and their in-laws. The figure though may not come as much of a shock to Mr Wen. A WikiLeaks cable dated 2007 quoted a source as saying the premier was "disgusted" by his family's activities. But whether he disapproves or not, the investigation shows that much of the wealth has been accumulated in areas of the economy over which he has direct authority. Mr Wen is not the only senior leader over whom that kind of suspicion lingers, but given his position, his public standing and his own championing of the anti-corruption cause, the Times report will be seen by the authorities here as highly sensitive and potentially damaging. Bloomberg's website is still being blocked after it published, back in June, a similar expose of the family wealth of the man tipped to be China's next leader, Xi Jinping. It may be a while before readers in China get to see the New York Times online again. "Many relatives of Wen Jiabao, including his son, daughter, younger brother and brother-in-law, have become extraordinarily wealthy during his leadership," the newspaper wrote. "In many cases, the names of the relatives have been hidden behind layers of partnerships and investment vehicles involving friends, work colleagues and business partners." The family's investments reportedly spanned several sectors. The newspaper cited one holding as Ping An, an insurance company which it said had benefited from reforms enacted in 2004 by a state body over which Mr Wen had oversight. It said that partnerships controlled by Mr Wen's relatives, along with their friends and colleagues, had bought into the firm before its IPO, or stock market flotation, in 2004, and held as much as $2.2bn in the company in 2007. The newspaper said both the Chinese government and Mr Wen's relatives declined to comment on the investigation, which was based on corporate records from 1992-2012. No holdings were found in Mr Wen's name, it said, nor was it possible "to determine from the documents whether he recused himself from any decisions that might have affected his relatives' holdings, or whether they received preferential treatment on investments". China is sensitive about reports on its leaders, particularly when it comes to their wealth. A growing wealth gap is causing public discontent, as are the frequent corruption scandals involving government officials. When, in June 2012, a Bloomberg investigative report examined the finances of the relatives of president-in-waiting Xi Jinping, the company's website was blocked in China - even though the report said there was no indication of wrongdoing by him or his family. Mr Wen has been the Chinese premier for almost 10 years. He is due to step down in a power transition that begins on 8 November. Is 'Grandpa Wen' as nice as he seems? He is seen as a popular figure with the common touch, and is portrayed in state media as a leader with great concern for the lives of ordinary people. A spokeswoman for New York Times said she hoped that full access to the websites would be "restored shortly" in China. The BBC has also been affected, with the BBC World News channel blocked when a correspondent was asked about the story during a report, and the BBC News website blocked later on Friday. On China's Twitter-like weibo platforms, keywords such as Wen Jiabao and the New York Times are blocked. Mr Wen's name, like most other Chinese leaders, has always been a screened keyword. Some netizens did manage to post the article despite heavy and rapid censorship. A Sina Weibo user tweeted about the article from Kawagoe city in Japan, but his post was removed after 11 minutes. "The Twist Your Waist Times says the best actor has $2.7bn of assets. I just wonder how will he spend it?" asked a Tencent Weibo user registered in the British West Indies territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands. "Twist your waist" in Chinese characters sounds like New York when spoken, while "best actor" refers to Mr Wen, who critics say only pretends to be a people-first leader. Robert Lewis Dear is accused of killing a policeman, an Iraq war veteran and a mother, who were escorting friends to the Planned Parenthood clinic. Nine other people were taken to hospital after the hours-long stand-off. The dead policeman was named as Garrett Swasey, 44, a married father of two. Mr Swasey was called to assist during the shootout and died at the scene. He was a co-pastor at a church in Colorado Springs and was a figure skater before he became a police officer. The two civilian victims have been identified as 29-year-old Ke'Arre Stewart and 36-year-old Jennifer Markovsky. Stewart, a father of two young daughters, was accompanying someone to the clinic when he was killed, his friend Amburh Butler told the Associated Press news agency. He was deployed to Iraq and had been stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. "He went someplace where people expect to die, only to come back ... and be killed," Ms Butler said. Markovsky, a mother of two, was accompanying a friend to the clinic when she was killed. Her father told the AP she was "kind-hearted and lovable". The appearance of Robert Lewis Dear on the courtroom television was startling. His arms were bare and his hands cuffed as he stood beside his lawyer, speaking only briefly to confirm he understood the proceedings and the initial charge of murder. Outside in the crisp air, District Attorney Dan May appeared before the cameras but was unable, for legal reasons, to shed much light on the case. Mr May was pressed on whether he would seek the death penalty for Mr Dear, a question he said he was unable to answer at this stage. This case is tragic but it is also controversial, having provoked debate across the US, not least among candidates for the presidency, about Planned Parenthood's controversial role in providing foetal tissue for research. This was not the first attack on one of its clinics and the group says poisonous political rhetoric is inciting domestic terrorism, a charge rejected by its critics. The alleged 57-year-old gunman appeared in court on Monday and was told he would be charged with first degree murder in the killings. He has been held at the El Paso County Jail since surrendering to police on Friday. Appearing harried, he wore a padded white vest and looked down during the hearing, in which victims' families were present, and did not ask any questions. He is expected to be formally charged on 9 December. No motive has been named yet in the shooting, but law enforcement has said he told authorities "no more baby parts" before he was arrested. Planned Parenthood has been the focus of protests recently after an anti-abortion organisation secretly recorded one of its staff discussing how to obtain aborted foetal tissue for medical research. Anti-abortion advocates say this proves Planned Parenthood is selling foetal parts for profit - which is illegal - but this is disputed by the organisation Scotland's last victory in the tournament came in Rome in 2014. "If you put so much pressure on yourself to get a result, instead of trying to win the game, you can go to trying not to lose," said Glasgow Warriors centre Horne. "If that happens, everyone goes into their shell and you can't have that." Following defeats to England and Wales, Scotland return to the Stadio Olimpico, where Duncan Weir kicked a last-minute drop-goal for a 21-20 success two years ago. And Horne, who is returning to the squad after a foot injury ruled him out of the competition's opening fortnight, believes the visitors must take a positive approach to get the best out of their attacking threats. "We're here for a reason," said Horne, 26. "We've got some of the most exciting outside backs in the world and a fantastic group of players. "What good is it if the likes of [full-back] Stuart Hogg and the others are getting worried about making mistakes? Media playback is not supported on this device "That's not going to help anyone. We need them to be expressing themselves. "Any time Hoggy gets the ball in a bit of space I light up because I think something is going to happen. That's what we want. We want it to spread through the rest of the squad." A muddled display against England was improved upon in Cardiff but several Scotland squad members are still waiting for their first taste of Six Nations victory. "There's no-one hurting more than the players," added Horne, who has been capped 15 times. "We're desperate to set the record straight and get that win. We're all gutted at how things have gone. "We're trying to remain positive. We didn't play well against England but we did against Wales. There were some brilliant moments in Cardiff. "What you can't forget though is that at this level, the differences between sides are so small. The games are decided on a few instances. The England game showed that. They had two chances and took them to win the game. We had a couple, didn't take them and lost. "But we're still going in the right direction. It's easy to be negative but that won't get us anywhere. "There are still three games left. We could win all three and people might see it as a successful Six Nations." Media playback is not supported on this device After a strong showing against France, Italy lost 40-9 at home to England but Horne thinks the scoreline does not tell the full story. "We will need to be at our absolute best to win," he warned. "They should have beaten France in Paris "They played some great rugby against England until an interception try knocked the wind out of their sails. The score certainly did not reflect the game. "It will be tough be we should be excited about going over there and getting tore into them. "We're looking for a great result and that would kick us on for the games against Ireland and France." The British world number two trailed two sets to one when play was suspended on Monday because of bad light. Murray, 29, won the fourth set but was pushed hard by his Czech opponent before winning the deciding set to clinch a 3-6 3-6 6-0 6-2 7-5 victory. The last time Murray lost in the first round of a Grand Slam was in 2008. A three-time French Open semi-finalist, he has now come from two sets down to win nine times in Grand Slam matches. Murray joins compatriots Aljaz Bedene, Kyle Edmund and Heather Watson in the second round, while Johanna Konta and Laura Robson play their first-round matches later. Murray will next face French wildcard Mathias Bourgue, who is ranked 164 in the world. When play began on Tuesday, Murray survived two break points in his opening service game before levelling the match by breaking. But Stepanek, the oldest man in the draw, continued to frustrate the Briton with some inspired shot-making in a nervy fifth set. Murray was two points from defeat when serving at 4-5 but held on and broke in the next game. He double-faulted on his first match point but sealed victory after three hours and 41 minutes when Stepanek netted an attempted drop-volley two points later. Murray, who sportingly applauded Stepanek off the court, said: "He had an extremely bad injury last year and still at 37 coming out and fighting like that, playing that way, it's unbelievable. "I don't expect to be doing that myself at that age. I'm just glad I managed to get through. "He's always been extremely difficult to play. I wasn't able to dictate many of the points, I wasn't in a great rhythm, and that's credit to him and the way that he played. I fought extremely hard today and I'll get a chance to play again tomorrow." BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller "Stepanek played a magnificent final set: serving and volleying himself out of trouble when the occasional break point down and engaging theatrically with the crowd, which warmed to a 37-year-old who is a real craftsman of his trade. "Murray was two points from defeat at 4-5 deuce in that deciding set, but it is notable that with his French Open on the line he did not face a single break point in the final set. "Stepanek's poor final service game cost him dear, and despite serving a double fault on his first match point, Murray did not let him off the hook. The reserves of nervous energy have been depleted, but rather that than an early start to the grass-court season." The British number two began his match against Austrian qualifier Gerald Melzer with two double faults and lost the first eight points. But he was the better player after that and came through 4-6 6-3 6-4 6-4 to reach the second round for the first time. Bedene, who is being coached on a temporary basis by GB Davis Cup captain Leon Smith, will play either 31st seed Federico Delbonis or Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta in the second round. Edmund will take on 15th seed John Isner in the second round after the American fired down 40 aces to overcame John Millman of Australia. Isner won 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (12-10) 7-6 (9-7) 7-5 in another match played over two days. Edmund beat Georgian qualifier Nikoloz Basilashvili on Monday.

Cornwall Council's cabinet has voted to spend £536,000 on a bid to win the title for the city of Truro in 2023. Truro Mayor Rob Nolan said he was only made aware of the "pie in the sky" project when he read about it in the local newspaper on 19 January. Cornwall Council said the title could "boost the Cornish economy by £100m". More on the culture bid and other stories from Cornwall It is still not known whether the EU will proceed with letting the UK host European Capitals of Culture as a consequence of Brexit. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which launched the contest in December, said it was continuing under the assumption that a UK city will host the event in 2023. Mr Nolan, also a member of Cornwall Council, said he was "astounded" he had not been informed of the bid in the name of Truro. He said: "It seems to have come out of the blue and off they go spending half a million pounds." The mayor said he would rather see money spent on supporting existing festivals. The UK was already lined up to host in 2023 before the country voted to leave the European Union in June. Cornwall Council did not respond to questions regarding communication with the mayor. The council was previously awarded £350,000 in 2008 by the European Union in an unsuccessful attempt to lobby for a European Region of Culture designation. Julian German, the Cornwall Council cabinet member for economy and culture, said: "Cornwall consistently punches above its weight and there has never been a better time for us to celebrate our success." With Pune needing 11 runs, Johnson conceded a four off his first ball but then removed Manoj Tiwary and Steve Smith with consecutive deliveries. Captain Smith hit 51 to give Pune a chance after their chase had faltered. But Johnson's 3-26 and Jasprit Bumrah's 2-26 helped Mumbai defend 129 to become the first side to win three IPL titles. Mumbai's previous victories came in 2013 and 2015. After electing to bat first in Hyderabad, Mumbai fell to 8-2 and then 79-7, before Krunal Pandya's 47 off 38 balls, supported by late-order hitting from Johnson (13 off 14) saw them post 129-8. In reply, Ajinkya Rahane struck 44 off 38 balls before he was removed by Johnson to leave Pune on 71-2 after 12 overs. They added just 29 runs in the next five overs thanks to expert bowling from Lasith Malinga and Bumrah, who had former India captain MS Dhoni caught behind for 10. A straight six from Australia captain Smith off Bumrah's penultimate delivery in the 19th over seemed to steer the match back Pune's way, only for Johnson to hold his nerve as Dan Christian was run out attempting a desperate third run off the final ball. Mumbai's total was the lowest score successfully defended in this year's tournament. England wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler scored 272 runs in the tournament for Mumbai, while all-rounder Ben Stokes starred for Pune with a maiden Twenty20 century and 12 wickets, but neither was playing in the final after being recalled for the upcoming one-day international series against South Africa. Bin Laden's half-sister, Sana Mohammed Bin Laden, her mother, Raja Bashir Hashim, and his brother-in-law, Zuhair Hashim died in the crash on Friday. The jet's pilot, Jordanian Mazen Al-Aqeel Da'jah Salem, was also killed. An inquest into the deaths was opened and adjourned earlier. The Saudi Arabian embassy said it was working with the British authorities to repatriate the bodies. The Saudi-registered Phenom 300 private jet was attempting to land at Blackbushe Airport when it crashed on to dozens of cars and burst into flames killing all on board. The airport reopened on Monday after it was shut over the weekend to allow for investigations. Police are carrying out a joint investigation with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch.

A spokesman for Warrington Borough Council said Amazon had signed a 15-year lease in a £30m deal. Warrington is one of four new so-called "fulfilment centres" that Amazon will open this year, creating 5,000 new jobs in the United Kingdom. A site in Daventry, Northamptonshire opened in February, while Doncaster, Tilbury in Essex, and Warrington are set to begin operations in the autumn. The retailer said the posts will include operations managers, engineers, HR and IT specialists. The Omega business park is owned by Miller Developments, the Homes and Communities Agency and Warrington Borough Council. Warrington South MP David Mowat said: "Warrington was recently ranked as the number two town in the country in which to do business, so it's no surprise that a major international organisation is keen to do business here and employ local people. "Our unemployment rate has more than halved since 2010 and this looks set to continue." Last year Amazon defended its employment practices after a BBC investigation. The 57-year-old artist made the comments on Monday at the Manchester Arena during her Rebel Heart tour. "If you diva bitches want to keep complaining about it, then don't come to my show," she said. She added: "I'm not back there eating chocolate and filing my nails and getting my extensions done, all right?" Some fans at the gig had criticised the star on social media. Fan Tim Morton-Davies tweeted: "Over 50mins late at Manchester Arena and no announcements. Not acceptable. People have jobs to go to @Madonna." However, the singer told fans: "Tonight, our video crashed, and we had no video, and our back-up file was - I don't know - it was compromised, put it like that... So praise the Lord and thank you God but that is why we are late, all right? For no selfish diva bitch reason." In an Instagram post earlier she explained more about the apparent technical issues. She wrote: "FACTS: It's good to have them before you jump to conclusions! The Entire video for my show crashed as I arrived for sound check. The back up file was corrupt. "We had no choice but to reboot and pray for a good outcome. The video lights 75% of my show. We can't play in the dark." CT scans have shown injuries to her bones similar to those suffered by modern humans in similar falls. The 3.2 million-year-old hominin was found on a treed flood plain, making a branch her most likely final perch. It bolsters the view that her species - Australopithecus afarensis - spent at least some of its life in the trees. Writing in the journal Nature, researchers from the US and Ethiopia describe a "vertical deceleration event" which they argue caused Lucy's death. In particular they point to a crushed shoulder joint, of the sort seen when we humans reach out our arms to break a fall, as well as fractures of the ankle, leg bones, pelvis, ribs, vertebrae, arm, jaw and skull. "We weren't there - we didn't see it - but the subset of fractures that we've identified are fully consistent with what's reported in a voluminous orthopaedic surgical literature about fall victims who have come down from height," said lead author John Kappelman from the University of Texas at Austin. "It's tested every day in emergency rooms all around the planet." Discovered in Ethiopia's Afar region in 1974, Lucy's 40%-complete skeleton is one of the world's best known fossils. She was around 1.1m (3ft 7in) tall and is thought to have been a young adult when she died. Her species, Australopithecus afarensis, shows signs of having walked upright on the ground and had lost her ancestors' ape-like, grasping feet - but also had an upper body well-suited to climbing. The bones of this well-studied skeleton are in fact laced with fractures, like most fossils. But with modern tools such as high-resolution CT scanners, researchers can start to unpick which ones were injuries and which ones happened during the intervening millennia. "These fractures have been known since she was discovered," Prof Kappelman told BBC News. "I've looked at this fossil for 30 years and I knew that these fractures were there." It was during a brief break in Lucy's 2008 tour of US museums that he and his colleagues found time for the scans. "We were able to get permission from the Ethiopian government… and after the exhibit closed down in Houston, we brought Lucy here to the UT campus - in secret, for security purposes. And we have a high-resolution CT scan here. "We scanned everything. We worked 24/7, 10 days straight without a break." Without those precious scans, Prof Kappelman said, Lucy's injuries would never have come to light. "What it allows us to do is literally look inside mineralised rocks and bones. And Lucy - as much as we love her - she's a rock. She's fully mineralised." By peering inside the bones in minute detail, the scanner showed that several of the fractures were "greenstick" breaks. The bone had bent and snapped like a twig: something that only happens to healthy, living bones. So the injuries happened while Lucy was alive - but they also show no signs of healing, so these misfortunes apparently befell the small creature at the very time of her death. A fatal fall also fits with the fact that Lucy's tiny first rib is broken. This bone is small and heavily protected, Prof Kappelman explained; if it's fractured, you're having a bad day. "When you look at rib fractures, the first rib is the most rarely fractured. It take a high amount of chest trauma." But the shattered top of the fossilised humerus bone - Lucy's upper arm - is the most compelling piece of the puzzle. "If our hypothesis stands up… it tells us that Lucy was conscious when she reached out her arms to break her fall," said Prof Kappelman. The researchers even used their scans to 3D print Lucy's humerus and discuss it with orthopaedic surgeons. So far, they have all agreed. "At this point I'm nine from nine," Prof Kappelman said of his blind tests on unsuspecting bone doctors, adding that he printed out the bones in an enlarged form so that they appeared human. "Everybody agrees this is a fall from height." In fact, 3D printing is now something that anyone with an interest in Lucy can do. The researchers, in partnership with the government of Ethiopia, have made the files available online. "The Ethiopian ministry has agreed to release 3D files of Lucy's right shoulder and her left knee. So anyone with an interest in this can print Lucy out and evaluate these fractures, and our hypothesis, for themselves." Nancy Lovell, a professor of anthropology at the University of Alberta in Canada, commented that the fracture findings were surprising but convincing. "It seems fantastical but there's nothing to contradict their interpretation," she told the BBC. "And their use of really good, computerised imaging helps. "Taken individually, the pieces all look perfectly plausible." Prof Lovell is uncertain about the precise height and speed of the fall, which the Texas-led team estimated at 12m (40ft) and 60km/h (35mph). "People die from falls. People fall off ladders and die of head injuries - it doesn't have to have been a really tall tree," she said. "[But] we certainly think the area where she was living was treed at the time." Prof Chris Stringer, from London's Natural History Museum, said the idea of a tree fall was a good fit with our understanding of how Australopithecus afarensis lived. "They could have been in trees some of the time for feeding, nesting, or protection," he said. "If Lucy had young, for example, trees would certainly have been a safer option than the ground when predators were around."

Big pillow fights also took place in Romania, the Netherlands and Hong Kong. But there were a few rules for pillow fighters to follow: don't hit anyone without a pillow, don't hit anyone with a camera, and take your pillow home. One of the men fell from a height and another was rescued from the top of the scaffolding in Harewood Street at 08:05 BST, according to the fire service. Det Insp Andy Welbourn, of West Yorkshire Police, said the man that fell had "serious injuries". The Health and Safety Executive was aware of the incident, he added. Harewood Street is part of the site of the Victoria Gate development that is to include a John Lewis store along with 30 other shops and an 800-space multi-storey car park. The development is due to open in 2016. The upgrading - coinciding with the 100 year anniversary - offers greater protection and marks its significance. At least 108 men and boys were killed at the Explosives Loading Company near Faversham in Kent on 2 April 1916. A fire broke out in a wooden shed, igniting 15 tons of TNT and 150 tons of ammonium nitrate. The explosions that followed shattered windows 15 miles away and were heard in France, Historic England said. However, government censorship and a press blackout - for fear of alerting the enemy - meant the disaster was barely-reported at the time. The majority of the victims, many of whom could not be identified, were buried in a mass grave in Faversham's Love Lane cemetery, where the memorial stands. All the victims were male as no women worked in the plant at weekends - the oldest was 61 the youngest 17 - Historic England said. Grade I buildings - only 2.5% - are of "exceptional interest" Grade II* buildings - 5.5% - are "particularly important buildings of more than special interest" Grade II buildings are of special interest; 92% of all listed buildings are in this class Historic England said: "The memorial is an eloquent and poignant reminder of the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifice it made in World War One. " It has pledged to list a total of 2,500 war memorials by 2018, marking the centenary of the war. Culture Secretary John Whittingdale said: "Over a million Britons lost their lives in the First World War. It's important that their sacrifice is not forgotten." Tahir Nazir, 40, obtained a fake university ID card and trawled the internet looking for student nights so he could target vulnerable young women. Fuelled by drink and drugs he followed and then attacked his victims, Manchester Crown Court heard. He was sentenced on Friday after being found guilty of a string of sex offences at his trial in March. The divorcee from Glasgow hired a car and embarked on a tour of university towns and cities in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Oxford, Bristol and Cardiff. The court heard an examination of Nazir's mobile phone found he had conducted internet searches for "high school girls" and "freshers'" week, particularly around Swansea and Cardiff. In the early hours of 22 September a visitor to a shared house in the Cathays student neighbourhood of Cardiff awoke to find Nazir on top of her "very drunk" friend. CCTV showed Nazir prowling the corridors of student flats trying doors in an attempt to find victims. Other images showed him following a student into a building. He was caught after sneaking into a student house in Fallowfield, Manchester, last November. Several female undergraduates heard someone systematically going through the house, trying their locked bedroom door handles. They called police who arrested him nearby. Analysis of DNA linked him to a sex attack five days earlier at a block of flats in Hulme. He was convicted of trespass with intent to commit an offence, sexual assault, attempted rape, and three charges of trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence. Judge Martin Steiger QC said: "His campaign involved taking detailed photos of premises where students lived, in particular entrances and access rooms. "And finally it involved his posing as a student for which purpose he had obtained a highly convincing fake student union ID card." He said he preyed on "drunken students hoping no doubt that they would not remember or would not complain about his conduct". Nazir wrote a letter to the judge in which he "apologised to the victims and acknowledged the seriousness of his crimes", according to his barrister Richard Littler. After the hearing, Det Insp Ian Bourne, from South Wales Police, called Nazir a "predatory offender". He said: "South Wales Police takes all reports of sexual violence extremely seriously and a detailed forensic search of the house resulted in a DNA profile being obtained. "This was only identified as Nazir's when, less than two months later, he brazenly committed a strikingly similar crime in Manchester. "We would like to commend the courage of the victim and her housemates who all gave evidence at the trial at Manchester Crown Court. "We would also like to thank the other witnesses who played a crucial role in assisting us in bringing this dangerous individual to justice." The former Dundee United midfielder, 28, will be at McDiarmid Park for the rest of the season. "He's a talented player who I think will add quality to the squad at a crucial time of the season," Saints manager Tommy Wright told the club website. Meanwhile, the Perth Club have released midfielder Gary McDonald. Wright brought McDonald to Perth from League Two Morecambe in June 2013 and he has since played more than 50 matches for the club. Last January he signed a contract extension to keep him at McDiarmid Park until the end of this season but both parties have ended that agreement. St Johnstone stated on their website that McDonald, 32, "leaves with the best wishes of everyone at the club". McDonald began his career at Kilmarnock and moved to Oldham in 2006. He played more than 50 times for Aberdeen when he returned to Scotland in 2008 and had a season at Hamilton Academical before his two-year spell at Morecambe. Development squad player Scott Stevenson has also been released by St Johnstone by mutual consent. The 18-year-old joined in the summer of 2013. Swanson won the Scottish Cup with United before joining Peterborough in 2012 and Coventry two years later. England came out on top with a 25-21 victory - but who won the back-row battle and who should wear the British and Irish Lions number eight jersey next summer? Former Wales captain, BBC Sport pundit and 100-cap international Martyn Williams assesses the Faletau-Vunipola showdown. I thought they both played really, really well. England's Vunipola has probably been the player of the tournament and he did what he did best on Saturday, particularly early on. He made a few good carries - maybe not the eye-catching 20-30 metre ones we saw against Ireland - but he was breaking tackles and got England on to the front foot along with James Haskell, Chris Robshaw and Maro Itoje. Faletau got better the more the game went on, like most of his team-mates did. For the first 30 minutes he was pretty quiet, but towards the end of the match he showed what a quality player he is. While Vunipola didn't make his usual big carries, it was still taking two or three men to stop him, which made it so difficult for the rest of the Wales team to defend other areas of the pitch. Normally tackles are made one-on-one, but Wales had a game plan to focus on him with two or three men attempting to bring him down. This however, meant the Welsh defence got quite narrow and made it a lot easier to attack out wide. The space that was left was exploited well by England. That is the danger of playing against someone of Vunipola's ability. It is easy to end up focusing too much on that one guy which leaves weaknesses in other areas. England's number eight was sucking in two or three defenders allowing fly-half George Ford the freedom to attack that little bit wider. Wales' line speed early on was affected by how narrow they got. There weren't coming off the blocks in the way you would normally expect of a side prepared by defence coach Shaun Edwards. They were on their heels and too narrow and it created that space outside. It's the old adage of getting to him early. You've got to go low and bring him down which allows you to get over him and try to steal the ball. But with such a big man and such an explosive player it is a lot easier said than done. Next Saturday, France must not concentrate too much on him as they will fall into the same trap Wales did. They've also got to make their one-on-one tackles, which the Welsh failed to do in the first half of Saturday's game. Vunipola has come of age in this Six Nations. He enjoys playing under Eddie Jones and has been given freedom. He is such a natural footballer with great ball skills, and superb footwork for a big man. Everyone thinks he is just a battering ram, however, if you watch him use his feet you can see why he is so elusive and hard to stop. He is not just a carrying number eight, he has worked so hard on his fitness and it is really paying off for him. Media playback is not supported on this device He has been immense and my player of the tournament without any shadow of a doubt. I think Taulupe is a more rounded and complete number eight at the moment, but every game sees Vunipola get up to his level. Faletau has easily been Wales' best player in this Six Nations. His consistency is incredible - he comes top of every chart. I played against him for the Barbarians when he won his first cap for Wales and you just knew then how special he was. He plays every game for Wales - he is never injured and his work rate is phenomenal. For Vunipola, that is the next step - look at Faletau's work rate and copy it. Some of the covering tackles he makes show what a fantastic athlete he is. Dan Biggar and Alun Wyn Jones have got the headlines over the past 18 months but I think Faletau is now Wales' best player. It isn't just Vunipola who has shone in this Six Nations. Maro Itoje has future British and Irish Lions captain written all over him. I know it's a big thing to put on someone but what a find England have. For him to play so well in a game of such magnitude, up against a side full of experience, especially in the second row, was incredible. He was a shining light in what was only his third cap. I've talked about Faletau's all-round game, but this kid was stealing line-out ball, winning penalties, carrying, tackling, basically doing everything. He was phenomenal for such a young man. As for his best position - it is such an interesting question. He looks OK at four so far! Maybe in the future I'd like to see him at six (blind-side flanker) with his athleticism and carrying ability. He would be so explosive out in the loose, however, at the moment Chris Robshaw is playing out of his skin. It's certainly a nice little quandary for Eddie Jones and Steve Borthwick to have. Former England captain Robshaw deserves so much credit for the way he has bounced back after what was such a dismal World Cup. He must have been in such a dark place. I can't think of a rugby player that has come in for so much criticism and had a spotlight so firmly trained on him. Many a weaker man would have buckled but for him to show such strength of character by playing in a different position without the captaincy speaks volumes. I always thought he was a number six and he is playing so well there. The England back row as a whole has been brilliant as a unit, despite a not having a true number seven. They work really, really well, not just defensively, but also going forward. It's an area that the British and Irish Lions have always had a lot of strength in, and at the moment they are blessed across the back row. Right now, I'd go with Faletau starting at eight, with Vunipola's explosiveness being used off the bench in the last 25 minutes. That for me is not far off the perfect scenario for a coach. I know Vunipola has been the player of the tournament but if a Lions Test was this summer I would start the Welshman. The Lions back row looks frighteningly strong for next year. Martyn Williams was talking to BBC Sport's Paul Birch GB were playing for pride after defeat by Italy on Saturday ended their chances of reaching the finals. However, they ensured they finished on a high with a dominant performance led by Chantelle Handy. The 29-year-old Olympian scored 31 points while Ella Clark (16) and Rachael Vanderwal (15) were also among the high scorers. Held at Dores on the shores of Loch Ness for the first time last year with one stage, this year's event will have a new tented stage area added. Underground dance music acts Leon Vynehall, Dan Shake and Moxie have also been announced. Previously confirmed for the festival on 20 August were Duke Dumont, Mark Knight and Boys Noiz. Groove Loch Ness is held at the site of the cancelled RockNess music festival, which drew up to 35,000 people at its peak but has not been held since 2013. Last year's inaugural event was organised in just eight months by four people working in the music industry in Scotland. Authorities announced that only the first 10% of tickets for its Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto express services would be held at current prices. Thereafter fares will jump by 10% for every 10% of berths sold, subject to a cap of 1.5 times the basic fare. Many have criticised the move as a poorly disguised fare hike. A railways spokesman told the BBC that the move was "experimental" and they would take passenger feedback into consideration. The state-run Indian Railways, the third largest network in the world, operates more than 12,000 passenger trains, carrying some 23 million people daily. However, the heavily subsidised service operates under massive losses. In 2014, it lost $5bn in its passenger operations. The three premium services are in high demand as they cover most of the country and are faster and more comfortable than regular trains. Critics say the new fare structure is likely to make many train journeys more expensive than flights on India's low-cost airlines, many of whom cover the same routes in a fraction of the time. The issue dominated conversation on Twitter on Thursday with #SurgePricing trending for much of the morning. There was overwhelming anger at what was seen as a policy that would primarily have an impact on the middle class and the poor. Many had tweeted at the Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu and the prime minister, requesting them to reconsider. Lithium is naturally found in tap water, although the amount varies. The findings, based on a study of 800,000 people, are not clear-cut. The highest levels cut risk, but moderate levels were worse than low ones. Experts said it was an intriguing and encouraging study that hinted at a way of preventing the disease. The study, at the University of Copenhagen, looked at the medical records of 73,731 Danish people with dementia and 733,653 without the disease. Tap water was then tested in 151 areas of the country. The results, published in JAMA Psychiatry, showed moderate lithium levels (between 5.1 and 10 micrograms per litre) increased the risk of dementia by 22% compared with low levels (below five micrograms per litre). However, those drinking water with the highest lithium levels (above 15 micrograms per litre) had a 17% reduction in risk. The researchers said: "This is the first study, to our knowledge, to investigate the association between lithium in drinking water and the incidence of dementia. "Higher long-term lithium exposure from drinking water may be associated with a lower incidence of dementia." Lithium is known to have an effect on the brain and is used as a treatment in bipolar disorder. However, the lithium in tap water is at much lower levels than is used medicinally. Experiments have shown the element alters a wide range of biological processes in the brain. This broad impact could explain the mixed pattern thrown up by the different doses, as only certain dosing sweet-spots change brain activity in a beneficial way. Prof Simon Lovestone, from the department of psychiatry at the University of Oxford, said: "This is a really intriguing study. "In neurons in a dish and in mouse and fruit-fly models of Alzheimer's disease, lithium has been shown to be protective. "Not only that, but lithium is used to treat people with bipolar disorder and some studies have suggested that people on lithium for this reason, often for life, might also be protected from Alzheimer's." He said there should now be studies to see if regular, small doses of lithium could prevent the onset of dementia. At the moment, there is no drug that can stop, reverse or even slow the progression of the disease. Dr David Reynolds, from the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "It is potentially exciting that low doses of a drug already available in the clinic could help limit the number of people who develop dementia. "[Our analysis] suggests that a treatment that could delay dementia by just five years would mean that 666,000 fewer people develop dementia by 2050 [in the UK]." The problem with this style of study - which looks for patterns in large amounts of data - is it cannot prove cause-and-effect. Prof Tara Spires-Jones, from the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences, at the University of Edinburgh, said: "This association does not necessarily mean that the lithium itself reduces dementia risk. "There could be other environmental factors in the area that could be influencing dementia risk. "Nonetheless, this is an interesting result that will prompt more research into whether lithium levels in the diet or drinking water may modify risk of dementia." Follow James on Twitter. Police were called to a report of loud music coming from a property in Kintyre Place in the early hours of Saturday. Two officers were injured and required hospital treatment following the ensuing disturbance. A spokesman said six men had been arrested for "various public disorder offences". Former air force commander Rumen Radev, a political novice, won Sunday's election with about 59% of the vote. He wants the EU to drop its sanctions on Russia and seeks closer ties with Moscow to help Bulgaria's struggling economy. It is the EU's poorest state. Bulgaria used to be in the Soviet bloc. Mr Borisov had backed the centre-right speaker of parliament, Tsetska Tsacheva, who won just over 35% of the vote. The Bulgarian president has a big role in defence and foreign policy, but most key decisions are taken by the government. He has the power to send legislation back to parliament. Bulgaria country profile Mr Radev's triumph reflected widespread discontent with the government's poor record on tackling corruption and poverty. His success came on the same day as that of Igor Dodon, a pro-Russian Socialist elected president of Moldova. The coalition that Mr Borisov formed upon re-election in 2014 relies on the support of centre-left and nationalist parties. Outgoing President Rosen Plevneliev is expected to chair negotiations to form a caretaker government, but early elections are expected as soon as March. Mr Radev, 53, launched his presidential bid as an independent candidate, supported by a group of citizens, and only later got Socialist Party (BSP) backing. He will be sworn in as president in January. He reached out to nationalists by opposing the EU's resettlement policy for refugees. That policy is also rejected by some other ex-communist EU member states in Eastern and Central Europe. Mr Radev spent 27 years rising through the ranks of the Bulgarian air force. He also received training at the US Air War College in Alabama. Bulgaria joined Nato in 2004, along with other ex-Soviet bloc countries. "Until recently, I flew a Soviet jet fighter. I graduated from a US academy. But I am a Bulgarian general. My cause is Bulgaria," he said. A Bulgarian political analyst, Dimitar Bechev, says Mr Radev's socially conservative platform is not far removed from Mr Borisov's. "His message will be that Bulgaria can have its cake and eat it - i.e. be a loyal partner in the EU and Nato, while reaching out to Russia," he said in the London School of Economics Europp blog. "That is not very different from the position advocated by Borisov." The departing prime minister was formerly Bulgaria's police chief. Mr Bechev says tensions may emerge between Mr Radev and Vice President-elect Iliana Iotova, who is a Bulgarian MEP and a BSP insider. Media across Europe see the election of Igor Dodon and Rumen Radev as the Moldovan and Bulgarian presidents, respectively, as a victory for Russia. Romanian TV describes Mr Dodon as "pro-Russian and anti-EU" while a headline on Romanian website Hotnews.ro reads: "Romania gripped more tightly in Russian vice." Ukraine, which lost the territory of Crimea to Russia in 2014, is concerned. The popular channel, One Plus One TV, notes that Mr Dodon "says Crimea belongs to Russia". Ukrainian fears are also reflected in social media. Prominent journalist Vitaly Portnikov suggests Russia is the winner in Moldova and Bulgaria. "Sunday belonged to the Kremlin," Portnikov tweeted. In Germany, the public broadcaster ARD commented: "Political landslide in Bulgaria: More Moscow, less Brussels." Belgium's L'Avenir newspaper has a headline reading: "Bulgaria comes closer to Russia". And in France, the headline in L'Express simply says: "Bulgarians and Moldovans elect pro-Russian presidents."

Welshman Cleverly will be defending his WBA world light heavyweight title against the Swede. And he says McGregor has no chance of winning on 26 August in Las Vegas. "In chief support you've got the 'real' fight, between myself and Jack, two world class operators," he said. "This could be the real fight of the night and I'm looking to capitalise." Cleverly believes the crossover fight between undefeated boxer Mayweather, 40, and UFC lightweight champion McGregor, 29, who has never boxed professionally, is a complete mismatch. "I don't believe there is anyway McGregor can win, Mayweather is too good in his art and craft to allow McGregor to capitalise," Cleverly said. "But fair play, they've made it a one-off, freak event." Cleverly, who fought on the undercard of Joe Calzaghe's 2008 showdown with Bernard Hopkins in Vegas, says the magnitude of this fight eclipses any he has previously been involved with. "It is one of these once in a blue moon fantasy fights that come along once in a generation," he said. "My fight could be the real fight of the night and I'm looking to capitalise on that. "The occasion is massive, the magnitude and the scale of the event, we are privileged to be on this event, it is a great opportunity. I am aware of the global scale of it, of the viewership. "The fight has captured everyone's imagination and I think even though it is not a true boxing fight, for me, selfishly, I am glad of the opportunity it gives me, it is great exposure for everyone involved." Explaining that he does not believe McGregor has a chance, Cleverly added that the Irish boxer "does not deserve," the opportunity he has, but credits him for taking his chance. "An MMA specialist coming over, boxing is not his main field, so I believe an upset is not on the cards," he said. "It is a fight, anything can happen, but realistically? Mayweather is too good. "Does he deserve this opportunity in boxing? No. "But can you blame him for making it happen and combining with Mayweather to make it happen? No you cannot and fair play to him for the work put in, inside and outside the gym to capture the public's imagination." Cleverly says the exposure of facing Jack, a Swedish boxer based in Vegas, gives him a chance to enter boxing's 'elite' level as he targets a potential future fight with Andre Ward. "I've been very patient and I am the current world champion, that puts me in a strong position and I knew sooner or later this fight would be made," he said. "On an exposure level, in the hierarchy of boxing this fight is exceptionally important. In terms of breaking into that elite level, this is the most important fight of my career." Cleverly said he feels he has a significant advantage over his opponent, a former super middleweight world champion who beat George Groves and drew last time out with James DeGale as he prepares to face a British boxer for a third time. "I am a seasoned campaigner at light heavyweight, but this is Jack's first fight at the weight and he will realise in the ring, half a stone is a jump up, it makes a difference," added Cleverly. "I see it going the distance, potentially, neither of us are KO artists, we both punch hard, maybe a stoppage victory is more possible. "But the win is the crucial aspect here."

The 43-year-old woman fell as she tried to catch the postman in Llewellyn Avenue, Cardiff, just after 10:00 GMT on Saturday. Neighbours waited with the woman and made repeated attempts to get an ambulance. The Welsh Ambulance Service is investigating the cause of the delay. Neighbour Jackie Whiller said: "They insisted we didn't move her, so we covered her in blankets. "This went on for nearly five hours and we had rung them about six times. "They did call back twice and at about 2pm they asked if they could send a taxi ambulance and we said lots of us here have cars but had been told not to move her. So he said to keep her there. "She was shaking quite badly at one stage." The woman was taken to hospital with a double leg break and remained there overnight. Ms Whiller repeatedly tweeted the ambulance service as she was waiting for the ambulance to arrive, who apologised saying they appreciated it was a "distressing wait". A spokesman for the Welsh Ambulance Service said: "We apologise to the patient and family for the stress caused and want them to contact us so we can speak to them directly."

The Welsh Ambulance Service has apologised after it was claimed a woman was left lying on the pavement for more than five hours with a broken leg.

Proposals for the Dykes of Gray village to the west of the city were thrown into confusion in December when Dundee city councillors only approved half of the plans put before them. The development management committee has now unanimously backed plans for the full 595-house development. Springfield Properties will pay a "roof tax" for each house built on the site to go towards a new primary school. Councillors had voiced concerns about the impact on educational provision when half of the plans were originally rejected at December's meeting. Springfield had been required to divide the project into two planning applications, as it spans land owned by two different parties. The first application, for 365 houses and a village centre including shops and infrastructure, was rejected in a narrow vote after councillors voiced concern about local schools being five miles away. However, the second application, for 230 houses and a village green, was approved after one councillor left the chamber and another arrived late between votes, in scenes described at the time as "madness". The revised application, which went before the committee on Monday, sought to address the schooling issue by including contributions towards a new school to be built in the area. Springfield Properties chairman Sandy Adam said he was "pleased" the full village could now be built. He said: "We listed to the feedback from the council in December and amended the points of concern in the application presented yesterday. "We are planning to build a range of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes, all designed to complement the area. "With planning approved, Springfield is determined to have a sales office on site as early as June 2015." Australia held the first day-night Test against New Zealand in November in the hope of attracting larger crowds and a peak-time TV audience. "You can't turn your back on it, it will happen," Graves told BBC Sport. "We just have to decide when it is going to happen. We're doing a lot of work on it and we'd love to see day-night cricket." In a wide-ranging interview to be broadcast during Test Match Special's coverage of the first day of the first Test between England and Sri Lanka at Headingley on Thursday, Graves also said: England have announced plans for this summer's contests against Sri Lanka and Pakistan to be multi-format 'Super Series', with points on offer for Test, one-day international and Twenty20 matches. Currently, the world Test rankings are the only global form of competition for the five-day game, with plans to hold a World Test Championship in 2013 scrapped in 2011. "We have to make Test cricket meaningful and we have to put some 'oomph' behind it," Graves said. "Test cricket is safe if we do something about it, but I don't think it is safe if we do nothing. That is not an option. The International Cricket Council are looking at it and the other countries are looking at it." Live Test match cricket was last seen on terrestrial television in the UK in 2005, with all of England's matches since then being shown by Sky. Some nine years after the move, in 2014, the ECB's own participation figures showed that the number of people playing recreationally had dropped. "We'd like to see some live cricket on terrestrial television, but Test cricket will not be on terrestrial television," Graves said. "The younger generation do not watch terrestrial television, they use social media. We have to take that into account. It will be a mix-and-match situation for us to come out with the right formula." The domestic Twenty20 competition in England has often been a target for criticism, with some favouring the franchise model used by the Indian Premier League and the Big Bash in Australia. The current model of 18 counties split into two divisions of nine and looking to reach the quarter-finals will remain in place until 2019, when the existing broadcast deal expires. Graves said there could be "four or five" options for a new-look competition, potentially including city-based teams, but with a franchise model not under consideration. "I have never mentioned the word franchise once, but it's all people talk about," Graves said. "I don't believe it is the right model for English cricket. "We want to keep all 18 counties involved. I'm sure cities could be one option, but we have no preconceived idea of what we want. We don't have a preferred option. We will put them all on the table then decide the right way to go." From 2017, the domestic first-class structure will be altered to a top flight of eight teams and a second tier of 10 from the current system of two nine-team divisions. With debate ongoing over how much cricket should be played and how the counties can sustain themselves financially, Graves said he favours an 18-county structure and could even imagine a scenario where that is expanded. However, he also revealed debt within the game totalling £120m and that "two or three counties" have been saved from going bust in the past year. "I've always said I want 18 counties," he said. "It annoys me that people say we will not sustain 18 counties - we've never said that. We could have even let two or three go bust during the past year. We haven't done that. If we haven't done that in the last year, why would we change? "I could give you a case where the domestic game could sustain more than 18 counties, but we do have £120m debt in the game and we have to manage that. We have to get the competitions right. It's about how we use the money." The man sustained head injuries after being struck by a southbound Ford Kuga on the A73 at Sherifflats Road, Thankerton, at about 11:10 on Thursday. He was taken by air ambulance to South Glasgow University Hospital. The 71-year-old car driver was unhurt. The A73 at Sherifflats Road was closed for six hours after the incident. Police have appealed for witnesses. The Red Bull driver built an early lead from pole but was caught by the Finn, who started 11th, after half distance. Vettel then pulled away after the final pit stops, despite Raikkonen's attempts to close him down. Lotus's Romain Grosjean was third, with McLaren's Lewis Hamilton finishing eighth and Jenson Button retiring. Force India's Paul di Resta, doing a two-stop strategy in contrast to the three employed by the rest of the main contenders, drove an excellent, studied race to take sixth place. The Scot was running fifth going into the final 10 laps but was helpless to defend from Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg, who was on fresher tyres in the closing laps. Di Resta seemed poised to lose a further place to Button, but the Briton's McLaren suffered a puncture with three laps to go and dropped out of the points, before retiring on the penultimate lap with a broken exhaust. The Scot also just managed to hold off a challenge from Ferrari's Fernando Alonso in the closing laps. Rosberg was investigated for possible dangerous driving in defending from both Hamilton and Alonso earlier in the race, but was cleared of any wrongdoing by the stewards. Ferrari's Felipe Massa produced his strongest race of the season to take ninth, ahead of Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher, who battled up from 22nd on the grid. The result means Vettel takes the championship lead, after starting the race in fifth place, while Hamilton has slipped down to second, ahead of Vettel's team-mate Mark Webber - who finished fourth in Bahrain - Button and Alonso. Bahrain's Sakhir circuit is notorious for producing uninteresting races, but this was an exception, with a tense battle for the lead and several wheel-to-wheel scraps down the field. Vettel stormed into the lead from pole, building a five-second lead after eight laps in the sort of performance that won him 11 races on his way to the title last year. "It was an incredible race," said the German. "We had a very good start, which was crucial. I was able to pull away from the pack which turned out to be a good advantage because we always had to go on used tyres. "Kimi was quick, and so was Romain. It was a difficult race. Once he was close, I thought he would have more than one shot, but in the end I was able to pull out of a gap." Raikkonen was judging his rise from 11th place on the grid to perfection, his low qualifying position a tactical ploy to ensure he had more sets of new tyres to use in a race that all teams expected to be dominated by tyre management in the high temperatures. After 10 laps, Raikkonen was up to third place behind Vettel and Grosjean and he continued to close on the leading pair after they had all made their first pit stops. He passed Grosjean on lap 24, and then began to close on Vettel, who he caught by lap 33. But the Finn could not pass the Red Bull and after they stopped together for the final time on lap 39, Vettel eased away and Raikkonen could not hold him. "It's always easy to say if afterwards, but in the end we were not fast enough," he said. "I had one chance to pass Sebastian but I chose the wrong side. I didn't get another chance. We gave ourselves a chance, but we didn't do it." Vettel's victory means four different drivers have won the opening four races of a season for the first time since 2003. The race provided a fascinating spectacle throughout, but it did little to distract from the main focus of the weekend - the wisdom or otherwise of deciding to hold the race in Bahrain in the midst of ongoing civil unrest. They have been brought to Scotland as part of the UK government's Vulnerable Persons Resettlement (VPR) scheme. The families have been taken in by councils including Dundee, Edinburgh, Fife, Glasgow, Inverclyde, Argyll and Bute and North and South Ayrshire. More than 1,200 Syrian refugees have already been resettled in Scotland. Immigration minister Robert Goodwill said: "The humanitarian crisis in Syria is unprecedented which is why we decided to undertake one of the largest resettlement schemes in the UK's history. "I am very grateful to the local authorities, community groups and individuals across Scotland who have helped to provide these vulnerable people with a safe environment and the chance to rebuild their lives." Hundreds of flights carrying Syrians escaping their country's civil war have arrived in the UK over the past 18 months. More than 5,500 refugees have been resettled in the UK under the scheme so far and around a fifth of them have been found homes in Scotland. The UK government said it remains on track to meet its commitment of resettling 20,000 Syrians by 2020. In addition to the VPR scheme, the government has also committed to accepting up to 3,000 vulnerable children and family members directly from the Middle East and North Africa. He was speaking following an incident involving at least 40 dissident republican inmates at the jail. Prison management withdrew staff from the landings in Roe House which contain dissidents. However, the prisoners later returned to their cells. Mr Ford rejected claims that an inmate had been seriously injured. Visits to inmates were cancelled on Tuesday because of a security alert outside the perimeter of the prison. Police were sent to the scene following a telephone bomb warning. The security alert ended on Tuesday afternoon after a search found nothing. No buildings were evacuated during the security operation. It is understood that during the incident on Monday, prison service management withdrew staff from Roe House landings because of verbal abuse and threats from dissident inmates. A protest, involving about 200 people, took place outside the prison in support of the republican prisoners. At one stage some of the protesters attacked the car of a prison officer arriving for work. A group that represents some of the dissident republican inmates has claimed the increased tensions were because of the failure to implement independent recommendations, including an agreement to relax security measures from August 2010. Mandy Duffy of the Irish Republican Prisoners' Welfare Association said the situation is "very tense". "Last night was a demonstration of anger in republican communities," she said. Mr Ford said prisoners must "live up to their side of the agreement to ensure that they end intimidation within Roe House and intimidation of prison officers through social media and with external activities as well". "I will be getting a report on the incident yesterday as to what exactly happened and what lessons may be learned," he said. "There are clearly issues from the agreement that was made almost five years ago that should see the prison running in a normal way, provided that there is appropriate behaviour on the part of prisoners. "That is what is sadly lacking at the moment." DUP assembly member Paul Givan said it was "an orchestrated attempt by republican prisoners so that they can get their demands met". Maghaberry Prison is Northern Ireland's only high-security jail. It houses men who have been convicted of serious offences as well as remand prisoners awaiting trial. The inmates are held in both separated and integrated conditions. The county have confirmed the South African batsman will lead the county for a third consecutive season. "The way he led the side, the respect he has, is really important" said Glamorgan chief Hugh Morris. And batsman Colin Ingram is due to make a first-class comeback shortly after 11 months' absence from the longer format because of a knee injury. Glamorgan reached the T20 Blast quarter-final in 2016, but slipped to eighth in Division Two of the Championship. Rudolph is being backed for a return to form after scoring 659 runs at an average of 24 in the four-day game. "By his own admission Jacques had a really disappointing season," said Morris. "But he's been 19 seasons in first-class cricket, we all have bad seasons, and he's really excited about coming back to Glamorgan for 2017. "There won't be anyone trying harder than Jacques to regain form and provide some success for the club. "The way we've performed in white-ball cricket over the last two years, we've been really competitive." Ingram return due South Africa batsman Colin Ingram is due to return to first-class cricket with the Warriors in the next few weeks after 11 months out of the four-day game. Ingram impressed in limited-overs cricket but could not play in the Championship because of a knee injury, which needed an operation in August 2016. He has since played T20 cricket in South Africa but is yet to make his comeback in the longer format. "He is spending time on strength and conditioning and is focussing on that, and he is due to play some four-day cricket before he comes across to Glamorgan," explained Morris. "We're very comfortable with the way he's going, he's due to be playing before the end of January." Batsman/wicket-keeper Chris Cooke is also expected to be fully fit, after missing half the 2016 season with back trouble. De Lange talks Glamorgan are still in talks with South African fast bowler Marchant de Lange, who could be signed for the whole 2017 season. "We've had conversations with Marchant's agents and those are ongoing," Morris confirmed. Young Glamorgan batsmen Aneurin Donald, Nick Selman and Kiran Carlson, along with spinner Kieran Bull, are currently playing club cricket in Australia. All-rounder Craig Meschede is playing club cricket in his native South Africa, while Glamorgan's other home-based players have resumed net sessions in Cardiff. The county's opening first-class game is against Cardiff MCCU starting on 28 March, while the Championship campaign begins away to Northamptonshire on 7 April. Brent crude surged above $56 a barrel, but later fell back to just over $55. Syria has limited oil production, but its location in the Middle East and alliances with big oil producers raised worries about a spreading conflict that could disrupt crude shipments. European markets opened lower, but London's FTSE 100 gained ground later. It ended the day 0.6% higher at 7,349 points. The Cac in Paris also closed higher, up 0.3%, but Frankfurt's Dax was 5 points lower. Other asset classes seen as havens in times of trouble made gains. Gold prices were up 1.1% at $1,266.45 an ounce on Friday afternoon. The dollar's performance was mixed, falling slightly against the yen. However, it rose modestly against sterling, the euro and the Swiss franc. Earlier in Asian markets, energy shares rose as a result of the airstrike, giving a boost to Japan's Nikkei index, which closed up 0.36% at 18,664. Analysts said the market impact of the attacks was likely to be short-lived, since the US had described it as a "one-off". "It was a knee-jerk reaction because markets are starting to come back a little, as it doesn't seem like there will be further retaliation coming," said Christoffer Moltke-Leth at Saxo Capital Markets in Singapore. Wahlberg, who hosted the event in Philadelphia - dubbed the Festival of Families - said he owed all his success to "my Catholic faith". "My faith has given me the ability to be a good father, a good husband and... a good person," he told the crowd. He later said he hoped God "has a sense of humour" when considering his movies. A 14-year-old choirboy, who sang Pie Jesu early in the evening, stopped to greet Wahlberg on his way off the stage. "That, right there, was truly the voice of an angel," said Wahlberg, "but then he whispered in my ear that he loved the movie Ted... and I told him that was not appropriate for his age," Wahlberg joked to the crowd. "Holy Father," he added, addressing the pontiff, "please forgive me. I've always hoped that the good Lord has a sense of humour when it comes, and pertains, to many of the movies that I've made." Pope Francis later took to the stage to speak to the 300,000-strong who turned out to watch the open-air event. "Families quarrel and sometimes plates can fly and children bring headaches, and I won't speak about mothers-in-law," he said. "But those difficulties are overcome with love," he added, concluding: "Never let the day end without making peace." Ahead of the Pope's arrival, Sister Sledge opened the festival with a rendition of 'We Are Family'. The 1970s disco group said their signature hit was "a perfect fit for His Holiness Pope Francis". Grammy winner Franklin performed Amazing Grace - and returned to the stage towards the end of the evening for a surprise rendition of opera classic Nessun Dorma - while Italian star Bocelli performed The Lord's Prayer', accompanied by The Philadelphia Orchestra and the Philadelphia Heritage Chorale. Folk singer Marie Miller, American rock band The Fray and Colombian pop star Juanes also performed. The Festival marked the Pope's final evening in the US, with his six-day visit concluding on Sunday. He was commenting on an escalating war of words between US President Donald Trump and the North Korean regime. "We cannot play fast and loose with nuclear weapons and nuclear threats," the Labour leader said. Mr Trump has issued another warning to North Korea with a reference to US weapons being "locked and loaded". Speaking before Mr Trump's latest tweet, Mr Corbyn said: "I think it's time that both Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un toned it all down a bit. "Maybe even spoke to each other. Maybe even returned to the table." He added: "I ask them both. Calm down. There are phone-calls that could be made, discussions that could be held. "Surely, in the interest of sanity and safety over the whole world, do it." End of Twitter post by @realDonaldTrump The Foreign Office repeated a statement it released two days ago when asked for a comment on Mr Trump's latest intervention. A spokesman said: "We will continue to work with the US and our international partners to maintain pressure on North Korea and counter the security threat posed by its pursuit of nuclear weapons. "We have been consistently clear and forthright in our condemnation of North Korea's destabilising and illegal behaviour, including through support for UN Security Council resolutions to bring in sanctions that will limit North Korea's ability to pursue its nuclear weapons programme." North Korea has threatened to fire missiles into the US territory of Guam and the US president has warned North Korea of "fire and fury". Mr Trump has also boasted about America's nuclear arsenal, while unconfirmed reports claim Pyongyang might have made a nuclear warhead small enough to fit onto a missile. On Friday, Mr Trump tweeted: "Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!" The Labour leader said that "of course" the UK should play a role in mediating the current impasse. "All the five declared nuclear weapons states need to get on board with this - to bring North Korea back from the brink - bring Donald Trump back from the brink." Mr Corbyn, a longstanding anti nuclear campaigner, said efforts should be made to "support the UN's efforts to make nuclear weapons illegal worldwide. "That surely has to be the way to go." Asked on Thursday about President Trump's "fire and fury" warning, Damian Green, the UK's first secretary of state, said: "Let's hope it doesn't come to that." He added: "That's why we are operating as hard as we can through the proper diplomatic channels to make sure that we see a de-escalation of tensions." Tensions have increased in recent days, with North Korea saying a plan that could see it fire four missiles near Guam will be ready in a matter of days, if approved by Kim Jong-un. It described President Trump as "bereft of reason". The US has warned the North its actions could mean the "end of its regime". US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said Pyongyang would be "grossly overmatched" in any war against the US and its allies. Media playback is not supported on this device Both sides hit the post but it was a game of few clear chances on a testing and uneven surface. Pavel Pogrebnyak saw his effort strike the woodwork for the visitors while Bradford's Gary Liddle was denied by the frame from a speculative shot. The replay at Madejski Stadium is scheduled for Monday, 16 March. Bradford came into the tie having knocked out Premier League Chelsea and Sunderland en route to the last eight and named the same starting line-up that beat the Black Cats 2-0 in the fifth round. Reading had beaten three Championship sides on their way to the quarter-finals and made two changes from the side that drew 1-1 against Bolton on Tuesday. In front of a capacity crowd the hosts from League One put in some determined tackles on their Championship opponents as they sought to press in the early stages, although a weak header from James Hanson was their only chance in the opening 15 minutes. It fell to the Royals to create the first clear opening when Russian striker Pogrebnyak struck a post with a right-footed shot after latching on to Jamie Mackie's cross. Bradford hit the woodwork themselves when midfielder Liddle's speculative cross almost crept past the stranded Adam Federici. Bradford had the better of what chances there were in a second half that proved more listless than the first. Felipe Morais found space moments after the restart but chose to square the ball across goal rather than shoot, while Hanson's side-footed effort flashed agonisingly wide and Andrew Davies headed just over the bar. Reading almost snatched a late winner when Oliver Norwood floated a free-kick into the box, but a combination of the post and some desperate defending kept the ball from crossing the line with Pogrebnyak loitering. Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson: "We're still in the hat so we're pleased with that. You've got to give Reading credit - they came and made it difficult. It was a cagey old affair. "I thought our lads did excellently in a different type of way than against Sunderland. We had to be very professional and wait for the moment to arrive. Unfortunately it didn't. In the second half we had the momentum but we didn't have that touch of class in and around the box. "We look forward to the replay. Everyone will be expecting Reading to win that one but you never know what can happen on the night. We know they'll approach it differently and look to open up." Reading manager Steve Clarke speaking to Match Of The Day: "For both teams, today was a proper old-fashioned Cup tie. There were plenty of physical challenges with both sides determined not to go out. We hit the woodwork twice, they hit it once. In the second half, they pinned us back more than we would have liked, but we still looked a threat coming forward. "This is still a dangerous tie for us as they've knocked two Premier League teams out. It's still 50/50 as I see it. Both sides can keep the dream going and see who they might get in the semi-final when the draw is made on Monday." The seven-year-old girl was born with severe brain damage and is now in care. Lawyers argued her mother had poisoned her foetus but appeal judges ruled she had not committed a criminal offence. The case was brought by a council in the North West of England, which cannot be named for legal reasons. It had been argued the woman ignored warnings and drank a "grossly excessive" amount of alcohol while pregnant. She consumed eight cans of strong lager and half a bottle of vodka a day, the court heard. Three appeal judges at the Court of Appeal had to rule on whether or not the girl was entitled to a payout from the government-funded Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme as a victim of crime. But Lord Justice Treacy said an "essential ingredient" for a crime to be committed "is the infliction of grievous bodily harm on a person - grievous bodily harm on a foetus will not suffice". The girl, who cannot be named and was referred to in court as CP, suffers with learning, development, memory and behavioural problems. BBC News legal correspondent Clive Coleman said the case was significant because it centred on whether or not a foetus was considered a person, independent of its mother. He said: "This case was hugely important, because campaigners argued that if the Court of Appeal had said it was possible for a mother to commit a crime by poisoning her foetus with excessive alcohol, it would have had the effect of criminalising pregnant women who drank excessively, knowing the dangers of alcohol to their foetus." Foetal alcohol syndrome Heavy drinking during pregnancy can lead to foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Alcohol passes across the placenta from the mother to the developing foetus. But the foetus cannot process alcohol effectively until the liver is fully developed and the high levels of alcohol can affect the development of organs and the brain. Children with FAS are born with a range of disabilities, are often shorter than average and some have learning and behavioural difficulties. People with the syndrome can have differences in their facial features such as a flat nose bridge, a small head and a thin upper lip. It is thought that foetuses are most at risk during the first three months of pregnancy when organs are forming - but damage can occur at any time. John Foy QC, representing the council that has responsibility for CP, told the court her mother drank the equivalent of 40-57 units of alcohol a day. National Institute for Health and Care (Nice) guidelines suggest 7.5 units daily might damage a foetus. Mr Foy said the young mother, for whom it was a second pregnancy, was aware of the dangers, adding: "She was reckless as to whether there would be harm to the foetus. "She foresaw that harm might be caused but went on to take the risk." Ben Collins, appearing for the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) had asked the court to reject the legal challenge, telling the judges: "There is a conflict of ideas about what is or is not dangerous, not only in terms of drink but also in terms of smoking and food." He asked whether "a pregnant mother who eats unpasteurised cheese or a soft boiled egg knowing there is a risk that it could give rise to a risk of harm to the foetus" could be accused of a crime. The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (Bpas) and the childbirth charity Birthrights welcomed the ruling. Rebecca Schiller, co-chair of Birthrights, and Bpas chief executive Ann Furedi said it was "an extremely important ruling for women everywhere". "The UK's highest courts have recognised that women must be able to make their own decisions about their pregnancies," they said. "Both the immediate and broader implications of the case were troubling. In seeking to establish that the damage caused to a foetus through heavy drinking was a criminal offence, the case called into question women's legal status while pregnant, and right to make their own decisions." Neil Sugarman, the solicitor acting for CP, said the decision was "clearly disappointing" and that the case was not about women's rights or "criminalising women". He said GLP Solicitors, of which he is managing partner, represents about 80 other children with FAS and that they would now be looking at the implications of the ruling. The only legal option left is to seek to take the case to the Supreme Court. Julia Brown, chief executive of the Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Trust, told the BBC the case highlighted the need for pregnant women to be given advice about drinking, and support to stop drinking if necessary. "There are no winners in a case like this," she added, saying she hoped it would be a "wake-up call" to make people think about the dangers of drinking when pregnant. The NHS recommends that pregnant women should not drink at all - adding that those who choose to have a drink should have no more than two units of alcohol once or twice a week. She said Britain needed certainty, stability and strong leadership following the EU referendum. Explaining the decision, Mrs May said: "The country is coming together but Westminster is not." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said his party wanted the election, calling it a chance to get a government that puts "the majority first". The prime minister will refuse to take part in televised leader debates ahead of the vote, Number 10 sources said. Mr Corbyn said Mrs May should not be "dodging" a head-to-head encounter, and the Lib Dems urged broadcasters to "empty-chair" the prime minister - hold a debate without her. Live TV debates took place for the first time in a UK general election in 2010, and the experiment was repeated in 2015 using a range of different formats. A BBC spokesman said that it was too early to say whether the broadcaster would put in a bid to stage a debate. There will be a vote in the House of Commons on Wednesday to approve the election plan - the prime minister needs two thirds of MPs to vote in favour to bring forward the next scheduled election date of 2020. Explaining her change of heart on an early election, Mrs May said: "I have concluded the only way to guarantee certainty and security for years ahead is to hold this election." She accused Britain's other political parties of "game playing", adding that this risks "our ability to make a success of Brexit and it will cause damaging uncertainty and instability to the country". "So we need a general election and we need one now. We have at this moment a one-off chance to get this done while the European Union agrees its negotiating position and before the detailed talks begin. "I have only recently and reluctantly come to this conclusion. Since I became prime minister I've said there should be no election until 2020, but now I have concluded that the only way to guarantee certainty and security for the years ahead is to hold this election and seek your support for the decisions we must take." In a statement outside Number 10, Mrs May said Labour had threatened to vote against the final Brexit agreement and cited opposition to her plans from the Scottish National Party, the Lib Dems and "unelected" members of the House of Lords. "If we don't hold a general election now, their political game-playing will continue and the negotiations with the European Union will reach their most difficult stage in the run-up to the next scheduled election," she said. Senior government sources point to a specific factor that changed the prime minister's calculation on an early election. The end of the likely tortuous Article 50 negotiations is a hard deadline set for March 2019. Under the Fixed Term Parliaments Act, that's when the Tories would be starting to prepare for a general election the following year, with what one cabinet minister described as certain "political needs". In other words, the government would be exposed to hardball from the EU because ministers would be desperate to avoid accepting anything that would be politically unpopular, or hold the Brexit process up, at the start of a crucial election cycle. Ministers say that's the central reason for May's change of heart because "if there was an election in three years, we'd be up against the clock". Read Laura's latest blog in full The PM challenged the opposition parties: "Let us tomorrow vote for an election - let us put forward our plans for Brexit and our alternative programmes for government and then let the people decide. "The decision facing the country will be all about leadership. It will be a choice between strong and stable leadership in the national interest, with me as your prime minister, or weak and unstable coalition government, led by Jeremy Corbyn, propped up by the Liberal Democrats - who want to reopen the divisions of the referendum - and Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP." Mr Corbyn said he welcomed the prime minister's decision, saying it would "give the British people the chance to vote for a government that will put the interests of the majority first", saying that this would include dealing with "the crisis" in housing, education funding and the NHS and pushing for an "economy that works for all". He told the BBC: "I'm starting straight away and I'm looking forward to it and we'll take our message to every single part of this country... We're campaigning to win this election - that's the only question now." Asked if he will be the next prime minister, the Labour leader said: "If we win the election - yes - and I want to lead a government that will transform this country, give real hope to everybody and above all bring about a principle of justice for everybody and economic opportunities for everybody." Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she would be fighting the election "to win". "I think the prime minister has called this election for selfish, narrow, party political interests, but she has called it and therefore I relish the prospect of getting out to stand up for Scotland's interests and values, standing up for Scotland's voice being heard and standing against the ability of a right-wing Conservative Party to impose whatever policies it wants on Scotland." In his response to Mrs May's announcement, Lib Dem leader Tim Farron tweeted: "This is your chance to change the direction of your country. If you want to avoid a disastrous hard Brexit. If you want to keep Britain in the single market. If you want a Britain that is open, tolerant and united, this is your chance." He also accused the PM of "bottling" the TV debates and urged broadcasters to "empty chair" her if she refused to take part. Mrs May spoke to the Queen on the phone on Easter Monday to let her know of the election plan, the prime minister's official spokesman said. She also got the full backing of the cabinet before calling the election. Former prime minister David Cameron called Theresa May's decision to hold a snap general election "brave and right". In a tweet, he added: "My very best wishes to all Conservative candidates." Another ex-PM, Tony Blair, said voters need to put election candidates under "sustained pressure" to say whether or not they would vote against a Brexit deal which does not deliver the same benefits as single market membership - or against a "damaging" decision to leave without a deal. "This should cross party lines," he added. British business groups gave a mixed response to the prime minister's sudden call for a general election, as the pound jumped on the news and shares fell. European Council President Donald Tusk's spokesman said the 27 other EU states would forge ahead with Brexit, saying the UK election would not change their plans. He added: "We expect to have the Brexit guidelines adopted by the European Council on 29 April and following that the Brexit negotiating directives ready on 22 May. This will allow the EU27 to start negotiations." The system, which will assign a named person to all young people in Scotland from 31 August, has been controversial with opposition parties. The Scottish Conservatives are leading their first debate of the Holyrood term calling for a "pause" to the scheme. John Swinney said the government is "absolutely committed" to the policy. Holyrood voted to approve the named persons system by 103 votes to nil in 2014, as part of the Children and Young People Act. It will see figures like family health visitors and senior teachers take on the "named person" role, which the government says will ensure children can get timely access to advice and services when they need it. However, the Scottish Conservatives question whether the policy is "deliverable in the proposed format", and whether it is "in the best interests of children and families". Education spokeswoman Liz Smith said the Tories had "deliberately steered clear" of explicitly opposing the policy as a whole in the debate, although the party still wants to see it scrapped. She said: "The Scottish Conservatives believe there is growing parliamentary consensus for a major rethink. "But there is also growing concern expressed by many frontline professionals - many of whom have no party political affiliation. "We believe there is an urgent need to address the practical concerns of professionals and parents about the workability of the policy which, if it is not dealt with, could seriously undermine the welfare of children across Scotland." Labour has also called for a "pause" in the roll-out of the named persons system, which has been trialled in some areas including Fife and the Highlands, to reassess public support for it. The Lib Dems have offered "cautious support" for the policy, while the Scottish Greens have spoken strongly in favour of it in the Holyrood chamber. Deputy First Minister Mr Swinney said the government was still "absolutely committed" to the system. He said: "We know most children and young people get all the help and support they need from their parents, wider family and community, but sometimes they may need extra support. "It is impossible to predict who will need this support or when. That is why the named person service is for every child - so concerns are picked up early. This government is absolutely committed to the named person service to ensure no one is left without support when they need it." Mr Swinney also noted that the Tories appeared to be "backtracking" on their manifesto commitment to scrap the scheme altogether, saying they were "playing politics with this important issue". The policy has also been backed by a group of organisations which work with parents, families and children. Ten groups, including Action for Children Scotland, Barnardo's, the Children and Young People's Commissioner and the National Parent Forum of Scotland, signed a letter sent to MSPs ahead of the vote asking them not to pause the roll-out of the scheme. They said the provisions "formalise the best practice of our education and health services, ensuring that every child, young person and their family has a primary point of contact available if and when they need it." The boy suffered a broken wrist, broken tooth and bruising when he was punched and kicked during the 2014 attack. A Police Ombudsman investigation into a complaint from the boy's mother found that the officer made some initial enquiries. However, he then failed to progress the case in any significant way. During this time, his mother made repeated attempts to contact the officer, with no success. The only time that she did manage to speak to the officer, was when he returned a call after she had learned that he had failed to submit paperwork relating to the case. When interviewed by a Police Ombudsman investigator, the officer could provide no valid reason for the delay. He stated only that he had been busy with a number of other cases and had, on a number of occasions, been extracted from his investigative role to perform other duties. He added that he had forgotten the password for his answer phone and had not used that number for a long time, but accepted he had received one message which he failed to return. When asked why it had taken almost a year for him to secure consent to access the boy's medical and dental records, the officer said he had forgotten about it. Commenting on the case, Supt Jonathan Roberts said: "We regret that on this occasion the conduct of this officer fell below that which the public, and we in the PSNI, expect. "We accept and have implemented the ombudsman's recommendations." The Ministry of Defence has released pictures of some wearing Santa hats and Christmas jumpers over their uniforms and taking part in carol singing. Thousands of UK military staff are stationed around the world carrying out patrols and anti-terrorism work. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon praised their professionalism. About 1,000 personnel are involved in the campaign against the so-called Islamic State group, with the majority based at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. In the Gulf, HMS St Albans and other Royal Navy warships are serving over the festive period. In the South Atlantic, 1,200 are stationed in the Falkland Islands while HMS Protector is on patrol in Antarctica. In Afghanistan, 450 personnel from the Army and other services are supporting Afghan National Security Forces. Mr Fallon said: "This Christmas our brave servicemen and women are serving overseas and here at home to keep us safe, whether securing the skies, patrolling the seas, or leading in the fight against Daesh [Islamic State]. "I pay tribute to their determination, professionalism, and everything they have done this year." It is thought to be the first time a Chinese company has invested in the games industry in Scotland. The new studio, which will be led by former Reloaded Productions managing director Michael Boniface, plans to develop a multi-player online game. Scottish Development International helped to facilitate the move. Mr Boniface said: "The establishment of Skymoons' new studio in Scotland is a game changer, and an exciting opportunity for those who make up the strong resource of locally-based talent. "I am very pleased to be representing Skymoons in this venture and will be recruiting new staff shortly, aiming for all 21 jobs to be filled by the end of June." First established in Chengdu, Skymoons Digital Entertainment Co is an established publisher of mobile games in China. It is looking to expand in the global digital entertainment market. Business and Innovation Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: "This is a great example of international investment in Scotland's growing digital economy and a good example of Scottish Development International support. "Scotland is known around the world for our dynamic and successful creative industries - having produced some of the best known and bestselling games in the world. "This investment will help create a very welcome outcome for Edinburgh's games development sector. " The Northern Irishman beat Ryan Moore and Kevin Chappell in a play-off at the Tour Championship to earn £8.8m, as he also won the end-of-season FedEx Cup. He is now finalising his preparations for the Ryder Cup, which starts on Friday at Hazeltine National. "Hopefully, in some way, it helps the team," said McIlroy, 27. "I've obviously never gone into a Ryder Cup with this much excitement." After Chappell was eliminated at the first extra hole, McIlroy finally edged out Moore at the fourth play-off hole. McIlroy's victory was his second in the PGA Tour's season-ending play-off series and was some compensation for not adding to his four major titles in 2016. Having won the Deutsche Bank Championship three weeks ago, his latest triumph continued his turnaround in fortunes since his missed cut at the US PGA Championship in late July. Find out how to get into golf with our fully inclusive guide. "I always feel like from a low point you can work yourself back up, and you can really assess what you need to do," said McIlroy, who shot a closing 64 at East Lake to force his way into the play-off. "I think it was blatantly obvious what I needed to do after Baltusrol, in terms of trying to fix my putting or to at least address some issues in it. "I started on a process to do that and I didn't think results were going to come as quickly as they have done really." McIlroy holed a tricky five-footer to stay alive at the third extra hole before sinking a 20-footer to secure the biggest financial prize in golf. "I've converted more of my chances I'm giving myself," added McIlroy. "The margins are so small in this game so it was nice to just set the reset button after the PGA." McIlroy was scheduled to meet up with his European team-mates on Monday. We've launched a new BBC Sport newsletter, bringing all the best stories, features and video right to your inbox. You can sign up here. It is proceeding despite Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson's admission to hospital with a suspected heart attack on Monday. However, it is expected the welfare reform bill will be blocked. Sinn Féin and the SDLP have signed a petition of concern, which means the bill will not get the necessary cross-community support. Green Party leader Steven Agnew has also signed the petition. He said: "There have been no significant changes to what has been proposed and this has left me with no option but to sign a petition of concern." The debate comes a day after Mr Robinson, 66, was taken to the Ulster Hospital, Dundonald. The leader of the Democratic Unionist Party was then transferred to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) where he underwent a procedure. But DUP sources told the BBC the first minister's illness did not change the urgent nature of the deadline facing the Stormont parties for agreeing a budget. Social Development Minister Mervyn Storey of the DUP moved the bill on Tuesday, even though nationalist opposition means his measure looks doomed. Mr Storey told MLAs that the "time for talking" was over. The measure was designed as a way to safeguard minority rights in Stormont's power-sharing assembly. If a petition of concern is presented to the assembly speaker, any motion or amendment will need cross-community support. In such cases, a vote on proposed legislation will only pass if supported by a weighted majority (60%) of members voting, including at least 40% of each of the nationalist and unionist designations present and voting. Effectively this means that, provided enough MLAs from a particular community agree, that community can exercise a veto over the assembly's decisions. "Now is the time for decisions, for getting on with the implementation of reforms," he said. He said there was a "tremendous responsibility on this House", adding "either we adopt the bill... or we don't and give way to an immensely worse outcome for those we serve". Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said the political institutions in Northern Ireland were facing a growing crisis. He said Sinn Féin concerns were "bigger than the issue of welfare". "Our concern is wider than that. It's around the grave implications of further cuts threatened by the Tories." The SDLP's Dolores Kelly said the threat of fines from the government over welfare reform was like a "gun put at our head today, metaphorically". Mrs Kelly said it was not too late for the parties to get around a table "and thrash out all of the concerns we have" over welfare reform. Ulster Unionist Roy Beggs said it was "the most difficult and controversial bill" that the assembly has debated in recent times, and his party did not favour all its contents. "We do have choices. If this bill is not approved we will be the only part of the UK using the old benefits system, there will be less funds in many other public areas," he said. "Let's be clear - there's no money tree, there's no going back asking for more money. We've been there lots of times over the past three years. Alliance Party leader David Ford said while his party opposed many parts of the bill, they would nonetheless support its passage. "We have to live within the administrative possibilities, we have to live within the financial realities," he said. He added: "The reality is that if we do not agree this bill, we have the prospect of full blooded Tory cuts with no amelioration whatsoever," he said. Gregory Campbell, of the DUP, said: "What we have is not perfect. It is rather imperfect." "Do we sit tight and then it gets worse because that's what's going to happen, it's going to get worse," he said. "Or do we adopt the better way and try to mitigate against the worst excesses of a welfare reform system that everybody else in the UK admits is better than what they have?" First and Deputy First Ministers' Question Time was dropped from business on Tuesday due to Mr Robinson's illness. The assembly has now been suspended until 14:00 BST. Ahead of the debate, Finance Minister Arlene Foster of the DUP said: "The choice is very clear today, we either back the bill or we allow the bill to fall, which means that all of those top-ups that were negotiated will fall, the conditional support will fall, we'll continue to have to have the levies, the fines from Westminster of £9.5m per month currently - and those are going to increase. "And of course we have a £600m pressure in relation to our budget. "But Sinn Féin knows what the choice is. Everybody's walking into this bill today and they know the consequences if they don't back the bill." Presuming the bill is rejected later on Tuesday, the executive faces a difficult situation, with the Finance Minister, Arlene Foster, calculating the Stormont departments will have to deal with around £600m in cuts. BBC Northern Ireland political editor Mark Devenport says that assuming the parties cannot agree to impose such a budget, the Northern Ireland Office may face fresh pressure to intervene. Last week, Mr Robinson warned that the assembly could not survive the scenario that would unfold if the welfare reform bill was not approved. The Northern Ireland parties had agreed a deal on Westminster's welfare reform in the Stormont House Agreement last December. However, Sinn Féin withdrew its support for the bill in March. Joyce Mitchell, 51, gave hacksaw blades and drill bits to convicted killers David Sweat and Richard Matt, according to US media reports. She is a workshop instructor at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, northern New York. A huge manhunt using hundreds of officers is now in its seventh day, stretching to Vermont and Canada. "We continue to obtain information from her to try to get the understanding from her of why she helped these two individuals", said prosecutor Andrew Wylie. She also planned to be the pair's getaway driver, but changed her mind at the last minute, investigators say. Mr Wylie told CNN that Mrs Mitchell's husband, Lyle Mitchell, is also being investigated to determine if he played a role in the breakout. Friday began the seventh day of the search for Matt, 48, and Sweat, 34, who broke out of 170-year-old prison with power tools. The convicted murderers cut through brick and steel to crawl through an underground pipe on Friday night, and emerge from a manhole outside of the prison's 40-foot walls. New York's governor has said any prison workers found to have helped two killers escape a week ago will find themselves being convicted. Andrew Cuomo said: "If you do it, you will be convicted, and then you'll be on the other side of the prison that you've been policing, and that is not a pleasant place to be." Mrs Mitchell's son Tobey told NBC she checked herself into a hospital with chest pains on Saturday and would not have helped the inmates escape. Mr Wylie, a district attorney, said that within the past 12 months Mrs Mitchell had been investigated for a suspected relationship with prisoner David Sweat. Hundreds of employees and construction contractors have been investigated to determine if they provided the power tools. Over 800 police officers are searching swampland nearby where the prisoners are thought to have spent a night. Police dogs picked up a scent on Thursday, providing authorities with their strongest lead so far. Food wrappers and a footprint were discovered several miles from the prison. New York police say they have received over 700 leads over the past week. The manhunt in northern New York and surrounding areas has included campsites and boat slipways in neighbouring Vermont. Homeowners are being asked to remain at home with doors and windows locked, and to leave outdoor lights on overnight to aid investigators with the search. Schools and roads remain closed. Matt was convicted of the kidnap, torture and dismemberment of his former boss, whose body was found in pieces in a river. Sweat was serving life for his part in the killing of a sheriff's deputy who witnessed stolen guns being handled. The new road, on the site of the former Rotherwas Munitions Factory in Skylon Park, is called Hursey Road. Ken Hursey was 16 when two bombs were dropped on the factory on 27 July 1942 and "bounced" into their home. He was the only survivor in the demolished house and will be at the ceremony later to unveil the road name. Mr Hursey's father, Ernest, was in charge of factory security in 1942 and the family lived on site. When their home was bombed it killed Mr Hursey's parents, brother, sister-in-law and mother-in-law, but he "just had a couple of little scratches". He recalled being dug out of the less-damaged back of the house, where he was staying because his brother's visiting family were in his usual front bedroom. He said: "While [time has] healed, it hasn't really stopped the picture of the aircraft coming over and dropping its bombs. "I saw the bomb bays were open and two bombs dropped out... It will always remain very prominent in my mind." A further 17 people died in the factory, including munitions workers. After the bombing Mr Hursey went to live with his uncle and aunt, before joining the Fleet Air Arm and the police. He has three children and four grandchildren, with his wife Margaret. Some of the former factory remains on the Skylon Park site and could be restored in a proposed heritage project. Suffolk Coastal District Council turned down plans for a 1.5-storey "cart lodge" for housing vehicles at the pop star's house near Framlingham in July. It said the proposed building did not "recognise the countryside's intrinsic character and beauty". Sheeran is appealing against the decision on the grounds an original cart lodge on the site was demolished. For more on this story and other Suffolk news In the appeal document, first reported in the East Anglian Daily Times, Sheeran's agent Laurie McGee said: "With the loss of the original cart lodge to make way for the swimming pool extension, the homeowner requires a cart lodge to replace it." He said the planned grey slate cart lodge would be at the end of a private driveway and out of view from the road and surrounding buildings. It was originally turned down by the district council which said it would be "an incongruous feature in the countryside". The planning authority has advised the planning inspectorate to dismiss the appeal. It maintained it would cause "considerable harm" and "present a creeping domestication" to the surrounding area. Officials have said that the wood probably did look like a crocodile from a distance. Bathing in the sea in and around Boulogne-sur-Mer in France was suspended on Friday as a precaution while a search was conducted. The claim of a crocodile sighting was made in a message which had been sent to a local newspaper, La Voix du Nord. According to the newspaper, an animal rescue charity which had not been told directly of any sightings asked for the water to be cleared while a search took place. A spokesman for Boulogne-sur-Mer town hall had previously said it was thought that the claim was "a joke". The council-run Sprouts Nursery lost just under £94,000 in that time, accounts have shown. Council officials said the financial position was "no longer sustainable". Consultation with staff at the Rhosddu Road site will now take place, with the plan to shut the facility in mid-September. "The decision to close was not taken lightly," said council leader, Mark Pritchard. "Sprouts opened in 2015 following an identified need for out-of-hours nursery provision in Wrexham. Unfortunately this need never fully materialised and we find ourselves in the position we do now." The nursery can accommodate up to 40 children, opening 12 hours a day in the week, and also offered childcare places on a Saturday. Details released under Freedom of Information requests show the nursery cost £155,000 to set-up when it was officially opened by the then communities minister, Lesley Griffiths. The cash from the government was part of its £100m Vibrant and Viable Places programme for regeneration in town centres, coastal and deprived community areas. However, the nursery lost £44,000 in 2015-16, and £49,700 in 2016-17. Councillor for the Grosvenor ward, Marc Jones, said: "It's been clear for some time that the nursery was losing significant amounts of money - approximately £5,000 a month. "Questions must now be asked of the initial business plan, which led to more than £150,000 of Welsh Government and Wrexham council funding to be spent on the venture." Anders Hoegstroem, a former neo-Nazi leader, admitted theft under a plea bargain last month and will be moved to Sweden to serve his sentence. The infamous sign was stolen in December last year and recovered in three pieces three days later. The judge in Krakow also jailed two Poles for up to two-and-a-half years. One of the pair, named as Andrzej S, apologised in court for the offence, Polish media report. The 5m (16ft) wrought-iron slogan which translates as "Work sets you free" is a potent symbol of many of the Nazi-era atrocities. During the Nazi Holocaust, 1.1 million people - most of them Jews - were murdered at Auschwitz. The sign has since been repaired although it now hangs in the Auschwitz museum and has been replaced by a replica at the entrance to the former death camp. Three other Poles were given prison terms earlier this year for the theft which was thought to have been ordered by another Swede still at large. So far, no evidence of other individuals has come to light. Hoegstroem, 34, who was detained in Sweden in February had at first denied involvement in stealing the sign but later changed his plea. On being told the verdict, he said he accepted the court's decision. He is now likely to be returned to Sweden in a week's time. McIlroy completed an emotional triumph in sensational style at the Irish Open before Garcia collected his first PGA Tour victory in four years at the Byron Nelson Classic in Dallas. Both players had long since decided to skip the BMW PGA Championship, an event no longer considered the European Tour's 'flagship' tournament but still worth £3.9m in prize money. Instead, Masters champion Danny Willett headlines a field that includes only four players from the world's top 30, Irish Open runner-up Russell Knox, defending champion Byeong Hun An and Rafael Cabrera Bello being the others. Circumstances have not been kind to the historic tournament, one that is always superbly run and attracts huge crowds. The course, the date, the Tour's new eligibility rules and Justin Rose's bad back have all conspired against it. Media playback is not supported on this device In recent years the iconic West Course has not matched the excellence of the infrastructure at the Surrey venue. Ernie Els' £6.5m redesign in 2009 - including adding a water hazard in front of the 18th green - has yet to find favour with the players. The re-laid greens also soon became contaminated with native grasses that at this fertile time of year grow at different rates, resulting in inconsistent putting surfaces. Indeed when new Tour chief executive Keith Pelley held a succession of meetings with leading players in Dubai at the end of last year, the highest number of complaints surrounded the Wentworth tournament. Those negative assessments probably contributed to his downbeat verdict on a tournament the Tour had previously marketed as its most significant gathering. "I don't see it as our flagship event," the incoming boss at Wentworth stated at the time, citing problems with the course and the fact its prize fund is eclipsed by the PGA Tour's middle-of-the-road event held the same week. The Colonial Classic in Fort Worth - which boasts an unremarkable field other than Texan home star Jordan Spieth and Open champion Zach Johnson - is worth around £700,000 more than the PGA's prize fund. Scheduling has become even more difficult for the top players this year as a result of the Olympics squeezing their summer diaries and McIlroy was always going to prioritise the Irish Open, which is backed by his charitable foundation. With this week off, he can prepare for the upcoming Memorial tournament in Ohio and especially for the fearsome challenge of Oakmont, venue for next month's US Open. It is a similar story for Garcia, who has played in the Wentworth event only four times in his career. European number two Henrik Stenson has competed just once since the course changed in 2010. Rose's bad back was an unexpected and significant blow, for the popular Englishman is one of those who has enjoyed himself here, with two runners-up finishes. Perhaps the most surprising absentee is three-time major champion Padraig Harrington, never a fan of Wentworth at this time of year, but likely to be announced as a Ryder Cup vice-captain here later this week. The Tour's rules do not especially penalise those missing this week as it is easy for the continent's biggest stars to make up the five events required to retain membership. The French Open - celebrating its 100th anniversary - counts as two events this year, while the Ryder Cup and Olympics are also in the reckoning. Steps are being taken to make the tournament more attractive to the biggest names - Els' design company has been asked to provide a further re-design and the greens will be re-laid. Work begins as soon as this year's championship is completed and Wentworth are confident they have found grass that will, at last, provide perfect spring-time putting surfaces. Pelley and his executives are also seeking a prize fund commensurate with the event's supposed standing, even if the Tour chief ended the notion of its 'flagship' status. His welcome dose of realism was illustrative of the Canadian's ambition to swell purses and find schedules attractive to the world's best players. The Tour's boss has also stated his desire to hook young talent and foster longer-term loyalty and it is this youthful generation that provides the value this week. Several of those to watch out for come from Asia; the likes of last year's winner An and champions in recent weeks Haotong Li, of China, and Korea's Jeunghun Wang. There is also a highly-promising English contingent incorporating Matthew Fitzpatrick, Andy Sullivan, Eddie Pepperell and Tyrell Hatton, while Belgium's Thomas Pieters is another outstanding prospect. They all have the potential to become genuine stars of the future and might well take a big stride in that direction this week. Because, despite the absence of McIlroy, Garcia and co, the PGA remains a tournament of great prestige. The Uefa Women's U19 Championship represents so much more for the teenage student from Ballynahinch in County Down. To prove Northern Ireland can mix it with the continent's elite, the chance to catch the eye of professional clubs and to inspire girls to get on the football pitch and follow in their footsteps. It's an opportunity to be seized with both hands and the Cliftonville Ladies midfielder is determined not to miss out. "We're not here just to make up the numbers - we're a very good side and we aim to show that in the tournament," said Chelsea fan Emma. "It's fantastic that Northern Ireland is hosting such a big event and it opens up possibilities for all us. "There will be plenty of scouts at the games so a few good performances could make a big difference to our careers. "We all dream of playing professional football, like some of the Northern Ireland senior women's team, and it's an added incentive to impress when it all starts next week. "It would also be great if the tournament encourages more girls to play football and hopefully we'll have plenty of young fans at the matches." Emma's passion for the game was ignited at the age of four, kicking a ball about in the garden with her sister. Team football meant playing alongside boys but Emma excelled and was marked out early as a leader by skippering her side. Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard were childhood heroes but now her footballing role models, including England winger Karen Carney, are found in the female ranks. It reflects the growth and increased profile of women's football, with Northern Ireland but one example. From a starting point of 18 teams in the 1970s, the NI Women's Football Association now boasts 55 sides. There is also the elite Women's Premiership, a seven-team league formed last year and where Emma hones her skills. Media coverage is on the increase and Northern Ireland's three group games will be streamed live on the BBC Sport website. "The publicity has been brilliant so far and and it's really encouraging for us that so many people will following our progress in the tournament," added Emma. "I was just treated as another player in the boys team and being a girl has never been a barrier for me, I've always been encouraged. "The women's game is really taking off here and it would be great if in years to come it became semi-professional like the men's Irish Premiership. "Simone Magill is at Everton and is among many in the senior international team to play in England - I'm just 18, I've plenty of years ahead of me and they are an inspiration, showing what is possible for us." Northern Ireland kick off the tournament on Tuesday against a Spain side which has reached the final four times in the last five years. Celtic neighbours Scotland are next up at Windsor Park before a final group game against six-times champions Germany. It's a tall order for Alfie Wylie's team but they are high on confidence after two impressive wins over Wales a fortnight ago in the Super Cup NI youth tournament. Media playback is not supported on this device An opening 3-1 victory at the Ballymena Showgrounds was followed by a 4-0 hammering, which included a top-corner cracker from the Northern Ireland captain. "That was definitely my best international goal and it was a superb performance from the team," said Emma. "Our preparations are going so well and there's a real buzz in the squad, we can't wait to get started on Tuesday. "We're massive underdogs but that suits us fine as we're determined to prove the doubters wrong and hopefully spring a surprise. "Yes, it's going to be tough but this is Northern Ireland's first time in the finals and we are relishing the challenge." Margot Wallstrom told the BBC a domino effect of demands for referendums and requests for preferential terms by member states could follow. "The spill-over effect will be unfortunately felt, deeply felt," she said. "It would be bad either way," she added. The referendum in the UK will take place on 23 June. A poll for the Independent newspaper, published on Friday evening, suggested that the Leave campaign had 10-point lead. Follow the latest on the BBC's EU referendum live page Ms Wallstrom said if the UK voted to leave, other countries could follow. "That might affect other EU member states that will say: 'Well if they can leave, maybe we should also have referendums and maybe we should also leave,'" she told the BBC's This Week's World programme. How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU. But other EU countries could also follow the UK example in the event of a vote to remain in the EU, she said. "If they stay, it might also lead to other countries saying: 'Well, they negotiated, they asked and demanded to have a special treatment so why shouldn't we?'" she said. Ms Wallstrom said she hoped the UK would remain in the EU, saying Britain was an important trading partner for Sweden and there were 90,000 Swedes living in the country. "It will be just a matter of insecurity, and industries don't like insecurity," she said. The Swedish foreign minister also confirmed the introduction of strict regulations and laws on trading in weapons with countries that were not full democracies. Last year, Sweden scrapped a controversial arms deal with Saudi Arabia. The Gulf nation then recalled its Stockholm ambassador after Ms Wallstrom criticised the kingdom's human rights record.

Russell Findlay, 41, is believed to have had liquid thrown in his face at his home at about 08:45. He was treated at the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Police said later that a 55-year-old man had been arrested. He is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Thursday. The morning rush hour is over and, if you live in a city in the developed world, you are likely to be settling down at your desk for the next eight or so hours. However, the office block and skyscraper, which have been part of our urban landscape since the end of the 19th Century, may also soon become surplus to requirements. Urban architect Anthony Townsend thinks cities need more creative approaches to how we work and is keen to reclaim the streets by creating pop-up workspaces in the parks and plazas of the financial district in New York. "Before the New York Stock Exchange, traders met under a tree on Wall Street to buy and sell shares. It is only in the last 50 years that we have taken that creative energy and sucked it up into office buildings and separated it from public space," he said. An atrium filled with natural light and the smell of fresh coffee greets workers at Deloitte's Edge headquarters in Amsterdam, which also uses an underwater aquifer to provide ambient temperature all year round and a sensor network to monitor the use of lights - providing a better working environment while saving money. The Edge has been dubbed one of the world's greenest offices and now many are following suit - installing sensors to monitor light, electricity and water usage, planting urban gardens and offering employees access to bike or car-sharing schemes. When you pop out to buy your lunchtime sandwich though, it is a different matter. Cities are huge polluters - responsible for 70% of the world's carbon emissions, according to the United Nations. And, according to the World Health Organization, more than 80% of people living in urban areas that monitor air pollution are exposed to air quality levels that exceed WHO limits. While all regions of the world are affected, populations in low income cities are the most impacted. To counteract this, cities are rushing out a whole series of green initiatives - from electric buses (being trialled in many cities including Perth, London and Paris), to bike-sharing schemes, such as those in Montreal, Barcelona and Amsterdam. Some are committing to "urban greening" - London is considering a garden bridge - while in Paris, 20,000 residents have backed plans via a citizen engagement app 'Madam Mayor, I have an idea' for a 2m euro ($2.2m, £1.7m) investment in vertical gardens across the city. Officials have found 40 potential sites and are now calling on gardeners, landscape designers, urban farmers and architects to bid for projects. Horticulturist and designer Patrick Blanc has been creating vertical gardens since 2001 in city hotels, malls and tower blocks around the world. The benefits are many-fold, he said. As well as acting as a natural biofilter and providing a habitat for birds and bugs, it also feeds humans' natural sense of well-being in nature, a phenomenon known as biophilia. In China, it will take more than planting trees to combat pollution. The city authorities in smog-ridden Bejiing are working closely with IBM to use machine learning techniques to analyse weather and emissions data to predict how bad air will be over the next 10 days. According to Jonathan Batty, an IBM executive who helped set up the system, it has allowed the authorities to take short-term preventative measures. "That might mean closing factories for a couple of days or reducing urban traffic or stopping construction work," he said. The government also uses the data to provide a traffic light warning system for citizens - red means air pollution is high so spend the minimum time outside, while green indicates safe levels. London provides a similar system on its city dashboard which is available to Londoners on the web. Prof Andy Hudson-Smith, who heads up University College London's Centre for Advance Spatial Analysis, came up with the idea to share data with the wider public. "Cities now do have vast amount of information on air pollution and the data from London is all bad but it seems that citizens haven't woken up to how bad the air is," he said. "I'm surprised that people haven't kicked off. This stuff is life-threatening - if you live on a main road, it can take five years off your life." The problem with the current way of collecting air pollution data is that often people do not understand what the readings mean, he thinks. So he has a cunning plan to "humanise IoT" (the internet of things). He is putting around 100 internet-connected gnomes in the Olympic Park in East London. The gnomes will talk back to people as they go around the park and among other things will tell them how bad the air pollution is. Unlike more complex data sets, they will be more plain speaking, said Prof Hudson-Smith. "They will probably just tell you to go home." SMART CITY CASE STUDY: Jakarta Jakarta launched its smart city programme in 2014 and rather than spend vast sums of money on platforms provided by firms such as IBM and Schneider Electric, it decided its smart city approach would be much more citizen-based. It has an app - Qlue - that allows citizens to report issues, upload photos of potholes and abandoned cars they come across around the city. Floods are a major issue there and citizens can also access PetaJakarta, a joint project between the University of Wollongong in Australia and the Jakartan government. It uses tweets about floods to create a real-time map of the city. Jakarta tweets more than any other city in the world and also faces some of the worst congestion, so a Twitter account offering lift-shares - dubbed Nebenger - has attracted some 93,000 residents In another congestion-busting initiative, the city is now partnering with Google-owned navigation app Waze to share data about traffic conditions around the city. The 26-year-old held dual passports with New Zealand and Irish citizenship. When she went missing on 7 July, her parents John Mather and Kathryn Gilkison made the long journey from Auckland to London to search for their daughter. After she was confirmed to have died on the Piccadilly Line Tube train, they said in a statement: "Shelley was a beautiful and vibrant girl who was truly loving, caring and giving." Five years on, they spoke at the inquest into her death via a videolink from New Zealand, saying: "Shelley's humour was sublime and irreplaceable." As a child growing up in Auckland, Ms Mather loved books and puzzles. Later in life she developed a passion for indoor cricket and played in a league. She left New Zealand in 2002 after saving up for a tour of Europe. She enjoyed the experience so much, she decided to become a tour guide and completed her training in 2004. Her mother told the inquest Shelley had wanted to "circumnavigate the Universe". Every day I carry this The loss of you Some days It is not obvious But today It hits me again I hold the weight of your ashes More than you weighed at birth I think I clutch them to me I want to place you back inside me To give you life again I carry you Every day Every day "Through her travels, she spread joy and information to many people who had started out as strangers," she said. "Many hundreds of them contacted us after her murder. "All of them reiterated the same thing; that she was an amazing person who had added so much joy and friendship to their lives." Most recently she had been temping as an administrator and looking forward to a trip to Greece in late July 2005. She last visited New Zealand in March 2005 to be a bridesmaid at the wedding of her best friend, Jacqui Riley, and went to Glastonbury Festival in June. Simon Fullarton, who worked with her, said: "Shelley was lively and go-getting, she was adventurous. "She was fun and basically a really nice lady, good at her job, well-liked and respected by everyone. "She was clever and well-educated and always had a smile and a funny or friendly comment. "It is a tragedy to us, to London and the world that we lose people like her." About 300 people attended a memorial service at St-Matthew-in-the-City, Auckland, on 30 July 2005. The then Prime Minister Helen Clark spoke to say how the family's grief had touched the nation. Ms Mather's cricket team formed a guard of honour as her coffin was taken from the church. Earlier that month, friends, family and New Zealand High Commission staff attended a London ceremony at St Pancras Church, near where she died. Prince William and Catherine saw how the Salaam Baalak Trust provides support for working children in Delhi. Later, during a meeting with India's PM Narendra Modi, the duke discussed pressures on the steel industry, Prince William's spokesman said. The royals are on a seven-day tour of India and neighbouring Bhutan. The duke's discussion with Mr Modi comes during a crisis facing the UK's steel industry, which has been blamed on the "dumping" of Chinese steel, relatively high energy prices and the extra cost of climate change policies. India's Tata Steel has begun the formal process of selling its loss-making UK business and UK MPs are to hold an emergency three-hour debate on the crisis. The duke and duchess met Mr Modi at New Delhi's Hyderabad House, a former royal residence of maharajas that has hosted heads of state from across the globe. Other issues that were discussed during the meeting included the strength of the UK-India relationship in areas including defence and security, opportunities for young people, conservation and the UK/India Year of Culture in 2017, the Press Association news agency reported quoting sources. During their visit to the charity in Delhi, the duke asked: "What can we do to help?" The charity's director, Sanjoy Roy, replied: "Spread the word. People think of them as street kids, beggars, thieves but they are just children. "They deserve an education, future and a life. They have a right to a childhood." They also visited a boys' home near Delhi station, where about 50 boys live in the four-storey building. The duchess sat next to Shansad Abdul, 12, who asked her to draw a picture of her house. Speaking through a translator, he said afterwards: "She was a very good lady and very happy to sit and draw with me." The duke and duchess are due to travel to Kaziranga National Park, in the state of Assam, where over the next few days they will learn about the people and wildlife who inhabit the area. Peter Hunt, BBC royal correspondent This will be a chance for the Cambridges to contrast urban and rural life. Leaving behind Mumbai and Delhi, they'll fly to the state of Assam and to Kaziranga National Park. On the banks of the Brahmaputra river, the world heritage site - according to its website - excites the senses, arrests the soul and beckons a visit. Like his father and his grandfather, conservation is in Prince William's Windsor blood. At this wildlife site William and his wife will learn about the challenges that arise when humans and wild animals live in close proximity. The couple will also see the work of the rangers as they battle with the poachers hell bent on acquiring rhino horn. That ever-lucrative trade is destroying the population of the one-horned rhinoceros. Two-thirds of those still alive shelter in Kaziranga National Park. Read more from Peter Hunt The Kaziranga park, a world heritage site, is home to elephants, water buffalo, the endangered swamp deer, tigers, and two-thirds of the entire population of the Indian one-horned rhinoceros. The national park visit coincides with the Bohag Bihu festival, the celebration of the Assamese new year, and in the evening around a camp fire, the duke and duchess will see dance and musical performances. The Beverley Gate was where King Charles I was refused entry to Hull in 1642, sparking the English Civil War. Last year, the authority wanted to cover up the site for its City of Culture 2017 plans but ruled it out after a campaign against the idea. It said the stainless steel statue would be "an engaging piece of art". Entitled Shadow Gate, the artwork would be positioned to the south west of Beverley Gate, between Whitefriargate and King Edward Street. Architects Tonkin Liu said: "Shadow Gate invokes the imagery of the trading ships masts and sails in the urban realm at Beverley Gate. "Careful consideration has been made to position the sculpture to minimise any harmful impact to surrounding historical buildings." The council said it was "unable to supply costs" of the project as it was part of the City of Culture 2017 public realm works. Last month the authority approved revised plans to revamp Beverley Gate, after people voted for the site to be left open and redeveloped with amphitheatre-style seating and glass fencing to replace the existing rails. The remains were granted protection by the government in January because of the "national importance of Hull's 14th Century town walls". Final decision for approving the revamp scheme will be given by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. It is the latest in a long-running feud between the university and John Wayne Enterprises over commercial products featuring the Duke name. Lawyers for the university argue using the name could "diminish, dilute and tarnish" its own brand. However, Wayne family lawyers say the claims are "ludicrous". "Duke University does not own the word 'Duke' in all contexts for all purposes," Wayne's heirs wrote in a federal complaint filed in California. "'Duke' is a common word that has been used for centuries in a wide array of commercial and other applications wholly independent of Duke University. Yet by the actions alleged herein, Duke University seems to think it owns the word 'Duke' for all purposes and applications.'' An exhibit attached to the legal complaint shows a bottle of bourbon bearing the Duke name, along with an image of Wayne holding a rifle and featuring his signature. The Wayne family has asked the court to intervene, to avoid being sued by the private university - named after a wealthy family of tobacco barons - for trademark infringement in future. 'Protecting integrity' The school previously challenged John Wayne Enterprises' plans to use the Duke name for a restaurant in 2005. When the actor's family applied to use the name last year to market alcoholic beverages, the university objected again. Duke University licenses its own merchandise featuring the Duke moniker and its Blue Devil's mascot. University spokesman Michael Schoenfeld said the school would continue its fight to protect its trademarks. "While we admire and respect John Wayne's contributions to American culture, we are also committed to protecting the integrity of Duke University's trademarks," Schoenfeld said. "As Mr Wayne himself said: 'Words are what men live by... words they say and mean.'" The United States Patent and Trademark Office lists more than 250 active trademarks which include the word Duke, including jazz legend Duke Ellington and a brand of mayonnaise. Born Marion Robert Morrison, Wayne used the Duke moniker from childhood when he adopted the name of the family dog. He appeared in more than 175 films including Western classic Stagecoach and 1969's True Grit - for which he won a best actor Oscar. He died in 1979 aged 72. The 19-year-old man is understood to have "fallen a number of floors" in a communal stairway at around 02:30 GMT on Sunday. Police officers confirmed the man was from south Wales and next of kin have been informed. Police said the man's death is not being treated as suspicious. Both countries are blaming the other for the incident. Vietnam's coast guard said the boat was encircled by 40 Chinese vessels before it was rammed, reports said. But Chinese state media outlet Xinhua said Vietnam's boat collided with its vessel after "engaging in harassment". The BBC's Martin Patience says that whatever the truth, the sinking is likely to further escalate tensions between the two countries, given that for the past few weeks they have engaged in skirmishes at sea. The two are locked in an intensifying dispute over South China Sea territory. Vietnam has protested against China moving its Haiyang Shiyou 981 rig to waters also claimed by Hanoi, at a spot near the disputed Paracel Islands. Monday's incident happened just 17 nautical miles from the rig, Vietnamese reports said. Xinhua on Tuesday claimed that Vietnam had "on many occasions dispatched various boats with the sole intention of harassing Chinese-linked companies drilling in that part of the ocean". It said China had made serious representations to Vietnam to request that it "halt its harassing and destructive activities". Vietnamese media meanwhile reported that China deployed "a fast attack missile boat and a minesweeper" around the rig on Monday. China's refusal to move the rig sparked anti-China protests in Vietnam earlier in May, which left at least two people dead and several factories burnt. Vietnamese legislators are preparing to sue China in an international court over the rig and other attacks on Vietnamese ships, according to local media. China in recent days has upped its rhetoric on the South China Sea. On Monday, a spokesman for China's foreign ministry addressed a recent attempt by Vietnam to list its historical claims to the Paracel Islands, saying it was "absurd and laughable". On the same day, Xinhua published a commentary in English which accused Vietnam of wanting to "disturb and play up the normal drilling of Haiyang Shiyou 981". Written by Chinese law professor Yang Zewei, the commentary states: "Hanoi should know that such drilling in the said area is China's sovereign right endowed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea." "Vietnam should immediately stop any interruptive activities and undertake corresponding consequences and international responsibilities for its provocations.". Japan has urged calm. Government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said it was important that "relevant countries abstain from unilateral actions that raise tensions". Meanwhile, Vietnam is preparing to prosecute "hundreds of suspects" involved in the anti-China protests earlier in May, and has already jailed two participants, according to local media. China has for decades claimed a U-shaped swathe of the South China Sea. But tensions have flared up in the region recently as China seeks to assert its claims in a more muscular fashion with a beefed-up maritime presence. Its actions have upset several neighbouring countries, including the Philippines - which is taking China to a United Nations tribunal. Midfielder Dack, 22, has scored 13 goals for the League One side this season, including 11 in the league. The former Charlton youth player is under contract until 2018. City were told their bids were short of Gillingham's valuation, but the Championship club have secured the signing of a midfielder - QPR's Ben Gladwin on a three-month loan deal. The 33-year-old Pakistan international's last appearance in English football was for the Bantams in November 2010. He has since had spells in Thailand, Hong Kong and Malaysia, most recently with Super League side Pahang FA. "I've spent six years and clocked up over 200 games overseas, so it's good to be back in England," he said. Centre-back Rehman becomes the League One side's second signing of the week, following the arrival of midfielder Ollie Muldoon on Tuesday.

They had been chained to a tree near to the owners' camper van. In the morning they discovered that both the bikes - worth about £9,000 in total - had been taken along with the chains which had been used to secure them to the tree. The first bike is a 2015 model Scott Genius adult male mountain bike worth about £6,000 while the second is a 2016 model Specialised ladies bike worth £3,000. Insp Carol Wood said: "The owners of the bikes are tourists, who were undertaking a cycling holiday in Scotland, and they have been left extremely distressed by this theft. "We are eager to recover the bikes and trace those responsible as soon as possible. "Anyone with information regarding this theft is asked to contact us immediately." Revelations of a second affair at the top of Northumbria Police also emerged, as more claims about the relationships between senior officers were aired. The allegations were made at a tribunal brought by the force's former head of legal services, Denise Aubrey. She is claiming unfair dismissal after being sacked for gross misconduct. The 54-year-old is also claiming sexual and disability discrimination at the hearing in North Shields. Former chief constable Mike Craik was accused of lying to Ms Aubrey about his relationship with his assistant chief constable, Carolyn Peacock. Mrs Peacock's chief superintendent husband, Jim, is then said to have punched Mr Craik at a barbecue after learning of the affair. Details of a second affair involving sexual touching at work, sexualised emails and texts with references to "nipples with tassels" and "hula hoops" were also revealed, which allegedly involved assistant chief constable Greg Vant and Mr Craik's secretary, Juliet Bains. Mr Vant was accused of sexually harassing Ms Bains by Mr Craik, but the tribunal heard she did not make a complaint. Ms Aubrey allegedly disclosed information about the affairs. She denies this and has accused her former bosses of "unfair dismissal following a protected disclosure, sex discrimination, disability discrimination, victimisation and harassment". Ms Aubrey said she had been asked by Mr Craik to advise him on libel and trying to keep accusations of the affair out of the media. "I don't know if he lied to me, but from what I have found out since I think he did," she said. "At the time he told me it had not happened and I acted on those instructions. But something did happen because of what was revealed to me. "If we used public money to cover it up then we do have an issue here and a potential criminal investigation." The tribunal was told on Wednesday rumours of Mr Craik's affair with Mrs Peacock began "circulating" in 2007. Ms Aubrey's witness statement also claimed she had been told by a former inspector that the incident log relating to the barbecue scuffle had been "removed". Mr Craik and the Peacocks, who are not attending the hearing, are said to deny there was an affair or a punch-up. The case continues. Global trade is now expected to grow by 3.3% this year, the WTO says, down from its earlier forecast of 4.5%. Next year, however, growth should rebound to about 5%, said WTO director general Pascal Lamy. Countries might turn to protectionism as other attempts to boost growth have been "found wanting", he said. "There is a need for more rules-based trade in order to reduce unemployment and to stimulate growth," he said. The WTO also warned that the weakness in Europe's economies would continue to weigh on trade. It said that "improved economic prospects for the United States in 2013 should only partly offset the continued weakness in the European Union, whose economy is expected to remain flat or even contract slightly this year according to consensus estimates". "China's growth should continue to outpace other leading economies, cushioning the slowdown, but exports will still be constrained by weak demand in Europe," it added. The WTO said that trade had grown by just 2% in 2012, the second-worst figure since records began in 1981. The worst performance had come in 2009 when trade shrank. Average growth over the past two decades has been 5.3%, it said. In dollar terms, the value of the goods traded last year remained stagnant at $18.3 trillion (£11.9 trillion). The value was unchanged because prices for coffee, cotton, coal and iron ore fell. "The events of 2012 should serve as a reminder that the structural flaws in economies that were revealed by the economic crisis have not been fully addressed, despite important progress in some areas," Mr Lamy said. "Repairing these fissures needs to be the priority for 2013." Mr Moore was 21 at the time, back in 1986, and after a number of years working at some insalubrious hotel restaurants in his hometown of Blackpool, in the north of England, he was trying to go to a different world. He had applied to join Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons, the two Michelin star restaurant in leafy Oxfordshire, an hour's drive north west of London. Owned by celebrity chef Raymond Blanc, it remains today one of the UK's most respected eateries, with a focus on refined - and undeniably expensive - French cuisine. Instead of just turning up for his 3pm interview, Mr Moore decided to book himself and a friend in for lunch as well. So after driving down from Blackpool, the pair enjoyed a relaxing three course meal. Then only after they had finished, did Mr Moore announce that he was there for an interview. Now a 51-year-old, he picks up the story: "At ten to 3 I called over a waiter and said 'I have an appointment with Alain Descenclos [the then restaurant manager], would you like to ask him to join me?'. "I'm pretty sure that no-one has tried the same tactic at Le Manoir before or since, but I basically told him that I saw myself fitting in very nicely, that I loved the service, and we needed to sort out a start date." Mr Moore admits that Mr Descenclos was somewhat taken aback, but he got the job. Today, 30 years later, Mr Moore is one of the UK's best-known restaurateurs. In addition to owning two fine dining restaurants in London - Pied a Terre and L'Autre Pied - he remains much in demand as a restaurant consultant and investor, advising others on how to run and set up their own establishments. And he has appeared on a number of food and dining TV shows, such the BBC's The Restaurant and Masterchef: The Professionals. He says: "I always say that the only thing harder than opening a restaurant is keeping it open." Mr Moore says that working at Le Manoir, and a six month work placement immediately beforehand at another high quality UK restaurant - the Box Tree in West Yorkshire - opened his eyes to how restaurants should be run. "In Blackpool the customer was often seen as an inconvenience," he says. "If I ever had to take food back to the kitchen, I'd think 'I'm not going to go to chef Stu or so and so because he will try to hit me'. "But at the Box Tree and then Le Manoir, everything was no problem, it was about really caring about the customer. To begin with I was like 'wow, this is so alien', but I just loved it." Mr Moore eventually spent five years working at Le Manoir, rising to the position of deputy restaurant manager. Then in 1991 he and one of the chefs - Richard Neat - left to set up their own restaurant in London, Pied a Terre. They didn't have much money of their own, but Mr Moore persuaded a number of Le Manoir's wealthy regulars to invest a total of £187,000. Pied a Terre opened its doors on Charlotte Street in London's Fitzrovia area in December 1991, and they had to brace themselves for the initial reviews of the newspaper critics, which still today can make or break a restaurant. Mr Moore says: "The Evening Standard's Fay Maschler said that we'd be closed within six months." Thankfully the Daily Telegraph gave Pied a Terre a glowing review, and within days it was fully booked. "For the next three or four years we lived above the restaurant," he says. "I was first in, last out, and always tired, but very lucky." In 1993 the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star - the holy grail for fine dining restaurants - with a second following in 1996. Pied a Terre is now coming up to 25-years-old, and while head chefs have come and gone, Mr Moore remains at the helm. He says the restaurant, which enjoys revenues of £2m a year, is now working hard to regain the second Michelin star it lost in 2011. Meanwhile, the sister restaurant opened in 2007, and Mr Moore's other investments include a chain of cocktail bars, and two barbeque restaurants. Mr Moore says he is regularly approached for advice by people wishing to set up their own restaurants. His reply is more often that they need to have deep pockets, and look outside central London. "Everyone wants to open in Soho [central London], but these days you don't have a chance if you haven't got £1m," he says. "[Outside of that area] you need a minimum of £550,000, but I would advise nearer £750,000, and have another £100,000 in case you open at the same time as a 7/7 [the terrorist attacks in London in 2005]." For new restaurants to be successful, Mr Moore says they have to do a number of things correctly, including food that stands out, and good customer service - "it's simple, hire nice people". And while it is far more expensive to open a restaurant today compared with the 1980s, he says that one advantage establishments have today is that social media makes the vital promotional work far easier. He says: "Back in the very early days of Pied a Terre, we had to knock on doors to drum up business, literally walking up and down the streets near the restaurant." Although Mr Moore says he is now looking at opening a chain of restaurants aimed at mums and dads with young children, Tracey MacLeod, restaurant critic for The Independent newspaper, says she likes the fact he has never over-extended himself. "I admire the fact that he has never gone for quick expansion," she says. "Instead he has gone down the route of perfecting what he does rather than going for the quick buck." For people thinking of getting a job in the restaurant industry, Mr Moore's advice is don't send a letter, instead turn up in person. Whether you wish to eat lunch before introducing yourself is up to you. The Clarets led when Sam Vokes headed home a corner but Ross McCormack levelled with a powerful shot. Moussa Dembele converted a Luke Garbutt centre to put the hosts in front. The visitors equalised when Vokes slotted home from the penalty spot after Joey Barton had been clipped in the area, before Andre Gray rifled home a great finish to give Burnley the win. Burnley, who had not won at Fulham since 1980, stretched their lead at the top thanks to Middlesbrough's surprise defeat at Rotherham. The game pitted the Championship's two highest-scoring teams against one another and it took less than 10 minutes for Vokes to break the deadlock with his 11th goal of the season. Struggling Fulham turned the match on its head with two goals in five minutes from their front two but defensive frailties ultimately cost them once again. Gray, signed for a fee of around £9m from Brentford in August, has now scored 20 Championship goals in 31 appearances for Sean Dyche's side. Media playback is not supported on this device Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic: "We played a very good game but in this game the result is more important. It's very difficult when you need to score four to win. We need to be more solid to compete in this division. "It's very complicated for us to score so many goals to win games, that's our problem. These goals do not give us enough points. They score goals always but it is true we are not enough solid to compete. "It is the fifth penalty in nine games, it is too many penalties. It is so very easy to score a goal. We don't find many more benefits to make chances. This is our moment, we need to be more solid." Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "Andre has a marvellous habit of not being disappointed to miss. He has so much power but [Sam] Vokes was tremendous as well. "We can't worry about the other results, that's an anomaly, we can't control that. Tonight gives me belief in how we operate. You can't guarantee the outcome of every game. "Consistency is difficult to find. I expected a lot of my players but they are human. To deliver constant high-level performances is difficult." Match ends, Fulham 2, Burnley 3.

Bee-eaters, which are rare visitors to the UK, have been spotted at the Cemex quarry, in East Leake, Nottinghamshire. The RSPB said the birds, which feast on bees and wasps, have been seen mating and it is likely they will nest at the site. The birds may have headed north due to climate change, the charity added. Live updates from the East Midlands About a hundred birdwatchers have been to the site since Sunday, but that number is expected to increase significantly by the weekend. A viewing area and car park, with a £5 charge, has been set up at Lings Farm, near Loughborough, for birders seeking the best views of the bee-eaters. The Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, which works in partnership with minerals firm Cemex, said it was the first record of the species in the county since 1970. Tim Sexton, from the trust, said bee-eaters prefer to nest in sandy banks and the quarry simulates those conditions. "It creates quite a nice safe haven for the birds, but certainly over the past 20 years we've seen species you would typically associate with the Mediterranean, the south of France and even North Africa," he added. "Perhaps [in the future] we'll see bee-eaters become a common sight across Nottinghamshire and further north as well." Mark Thomas, from the RSPB, said: "Bee-eater sightings have been on the increase. Pushed northwards by climate change, these exotic birds will likely become established visitors to our shores." The last time the birds nested in the UK was in Cumbria in 2015, and they have also nested on the Isle of Wight in 2014, Herefordshire in 2005 and Country Durham in 2002. Bee-eaters Source: RSPB A typically energetic start to the game brought an excellent early breakthrough from Callum McGregor on three minutes. But Ajax drew level as carelessness led to Arkadiusz Milik converting acrobatically from close range. As Celtic pressed hard in the closing stages, Leigh Griffiths and Charlie Mulgrew spurned chances and Vaclav Cerny broke away to score. Celtic's third group defeat leaves them out of Europe and bottom of Group A with just two points. Manager Ronny Deila has continually spoken of encouraging signs, despite the lack of positive results in Europe. And although they matched the Dutch league leaders for spells on Thursday, the bare facts are that Celtic are regressing in European terms. In 25 European matches with Celtic, Deila has managed just eight wins, with four of those coming against part-time Icelandic sides. Supporters seeking solace can point to an impressive cameo from Scott Allan and another solid display by Kieran Tierney against Ajax, but the normally reliable Leigh Griffiths misfired and he was not the only under-performer. Nonetheless, spurred on by a noisy support, Celtic came out of the traps sharply and gave the bulk of the crowd reason to get to their feet. Despite an unfamiliar midfield set-up, with just Tom Rogic acting as the pivot between defence and the attacking players, Celtic immediately looked comfortable. A confident flick by Stuart Armstrong found Rogic, who in turn fed Gary Mackay-Steven. He threaded a beautiful pass for McGregor, who belied his recent lack of first-team action as he strode confidently forward before curling a perfectly-placed shot beyond the diving Jasper Cillessen. Just as they had in previous European ties this season against Malmo, Fenerbahce and Molde, they had made the ideal start. Unfortunately, another recurring theme was soon to emerge. Ajax served notice of their own desperation for the points as Viktor Fischer slammed the ball into the net, only for Amin Younes to be wrongly flagged offside. The equaliser was not delayed much longer, though, and this time a lack of match sharpness may have hampered McGregor as his heavy touch ceded possession. The Dutch got the break of the ball as Schone's shot was deflected into the path of Fischer, who was able to head the rebound from his own effort across goal where Milik hitch-kicked the ball into the net. As the game wore on, the reality of the situation seemed to spur Celtic on as they pressed for a winning goal and McGregor struck the bar while Griffiths was foiled on more than one occasion. And with time running out, Allan, who had made such a positive impression as a substitute, was caught in possession and the Dutch broke, culminating in a clinical finish by Cerny. The full-time whistle was greeted with boos as the Celtic support came to terms with an early European exit. Ajax retain hopes of progressing, but they need to beat group leaders Molde, who have already qualified for the last 32, and hope Celtic can beat Fenerbahce in Istanbul, though on current form that appears a forlorn hope.

Rob Wainwright, who heads the European Union's law enforcement agency, made the comments to Newyddion 9. It comes after the US State Department warned of possible militant attacks in France. But Mr Wainwright, originally of Pontyberem, Carmarthenshire, said he was "impressed" by French security. He said French authorities were "putting in a great deal of effort to secure the tournament" and fans should "really celebrate" Wales making their first major finals in almost 60 years. "But it's true - we have a terrorist threat in Europe at the moment," he added. "We've seen the devastating effects of that also in France as we know in the last few months. "I think the Euros will be a potential target of Islamic State and so we shouldn't close our eyes to that." Mr Wainwright, who was first appointed Europol director in 2009, added: "Europol is helping French authorities to really protect these championships from a possible threat. I'm concerned about the possible threat but impressed by the security safeguards that the French authorities have put in place." On Tuesday, the US State Department said "the large number of tourists visiting Europe in the summer months will present greater targets for terrorists" in a travel alert for US citizens. Euro 2016 is being hosted from 10 June to 10 July at various venues, with up to a million foreign fans expected in France for the tournament. France is already under a state of emergency following Islamist-claimed attacks in Paris in 2015. The contest was due to be the 29-year-old Briton's first since his thrilling win over Dereck Chisora in December. Meeting Poland's Wach, a former world-title challenger, was also key as Whyte bids for his own shot at a world title. "We expect to see him return in July before challenging for the world heavyweight title towards the end of the year," promoter Eddie Hearn said. "Dillian is on the verge of a world title shot and we can't afford to enter a fight at this stage not being 100%." Whyte took IBF and WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua to seven rounds in December 2015 before being knocked out in what is the only defeat of his 21-fight career.

Deaths involving cocaine rose by 16% to 371, while overall there were 3,744 deaths from legal and illegal drugs. The Office for National Statistics said it was the highest number of deaths since comparable records began in 1993. The data showed that those in their 40s have overtaken people in their 30s as being the age group with the highest mortality rate from drug misuse. Of the deaths, more than two-thirds were due to misuse of drugs, and two-thirds of the deaths were men - in line with previous years. The majority of fatalities linked to cocaine use occurred in men aged 30 to 49, the figures show. Rising levels in the purity of cocaine could be one explanation for the increase, statisticians said. The ONS report said: "The National Crime Agency reports that there was a significant increase in both crack and powder cocaine purity at all levels in 2016, including user-level, which may partly explain the increase in deaths relating to cocaine." There were also rises in deaths involving the powerful painkiller fentanyl - from 34 in 2015 to 58 in 2016, paracetamol - from 197 to 219, and new psychoactive substances (NPS) from 114 to 123. NPS typically mimic "traditional" drugs such as cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy, and were widely known as "legal highs" before laws criminalising their production, distribution, sale and supply were introduced last year. While deaths linked to heroin and/or morphine remained stable last year - with 1,209 compared with 1,201 registered in 2015. Martin Powell, of the Transform Drug Policy Foundation, said the government should accept responsibility for record numbers of people dying from overdoses year after year. He said: "Other countries value the lives of vulnerable people who use drugs enough to implement and fund many measures proven to save lives, like decriminalising drug users, safer drug consumption rooms and prescribing heroin." Rosanna O'Connor, of Public Health England, said: "It is tragic that we are still seeing an increase in people dying from drug misuse, particularly among older heroin users. "Many of these deaths can be explained as the 'Trainspotting' generation, often with poor physical and mental health, sadly losing their battle with long-term addiction to drugs." She said a large number of heroin deaths are among people not in treatment and called on services to increase their efforts to reach those most at risk. Within England, the North East had the highest mortality rate from drug misuse in 2016 for the fourth year running (77.4 deaths per million), while the East Midlands had the lowest (29.1 deaths per million). The mortality rate from drug misuse in Wales rose from 58.3 deaths per million population in 2015 to 66.9 in 2016. Deaths in England have remained comparable between 2015 and 2016.

No, no, no," he told Sky Sports. "Maybe it was someone behind me. I had a little problem the year before and we won the title. Maybe this year, when we lose, these people push a little more." When Ranieri was sacked, Leicester were one point above the Premier League relegation zone. Assistant manager Craig Shakespeare was placed in charge and presided over five successive league victories and a Champions League last-16 win against Sevilla. "I listen to a lot of stories," added 65-year-old Ranieri, who refused to identify who he was referring to. "I don't want to say who it is. I am a loyal man. What I had to say, I said face to face." In the aftermath of Ranieri's exit, some reports suggested players had been instrumental in his dismissal, with striker Jamie Vardy and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel among those to publicly deny the squad were involved. Ranieri's final game in charge was a 2-1 defeat at Sevilla, with the Foxes winning the return leg under Shakespeare 2-0 to earn a Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid. "I thought the Sevilla match was a turning point," said the former Chelsea manager. "Everyone was fighting together, Jamie Vardy scored a goal. "But I found out on the way home that I would be sacked. It was a shock for me and for a lot of other people." Media playback is not supported on this device Ranieri's dismissal sparked a wave of support from fellow managers, pundits and supporters, with former Leicester and England striker Gary Lineker saying he "shed a tear". Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho wore Ranieri's initials on his shirt and said the Leicester players were "selfish". The Italian said he received support from all across the world. "It was amazing," he said. "When we won the title I received gifts and cards, bottles of wine and Champagne. When I was sacked, my house was full. "In case I don't have the time to reply to all of them, I want to thank all the fans. "I have won trophies around Europe, but never the title. Three times I was runner-up. Leicester and the fans will be in my heart for all of my life." In the latest incident, which took place on Wednesday in the US state of Tennessee, a fire broke out in a car after it hit debris on the road. Tesla said the fire did not start spontaneously but was the result of the accident. The previous two fires have also been related to accidents. The firm's shares fell more than 7% on Thursday, after a 14% fall on Wednesday triggered by weak earnings. The company reported that it made a net loss of $38m in the July-to-September period. In the latest incident, the front of a Tesla vehicle burst into flames after it ran over a tow bar near the town of Smyrna, Tennessee. Analysts said that while the fires had been the result of accidents, investors had been worried about any potential impact on the firm. "For a company with a stock price based as much or more on image than financials, those recurring headlines are highly damaging," said Karl Brauer, a senior analyst with Kelley Blue Book. Adam Jonas, an analyst with Morgan Stanley, added that the risk of a formal investigation by US safety regulators "could raise near-term concerns to a higher level in terms of cost, image and production disruption". Tesla's shares fell 7.5% to close at $139.7 on Thursday. In October, a Model S caught fire after the driver ran over what Tesla said was "an extremely large object" near Seattle, Washington state. After the fire, officials at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had said they found no evidence to indicate that it resulted from defects or violations of US safety standards. The second incident took place in Mexico later in the month. According to reports a car caught fire after it drove through a roundabout, crashed through a concrete wall and hit a tree. Tesla said it is investigating the latest incident in Tennessee to find out what had caused the fire. "Our team is on its way to Tennessee to learn more about what happened in the accident," Tesla spokeswoman Elizabeth Jarvis-Shean said in a statement. "We will provide more information when we're able to do so." The firm's chief executive, Elon Musk, has previously said that electric cars are safer than conventional cars. Ricky Hill walked out of Royal Derby Hospital where he was being treated for an overdose and hanged himself on site. Coroner Dr Robert Hunter concluded there was no plan at the hospital to prevent him killing himself. He told an inquest he would also write to Derbyshire police for a second time criticising its search procedures. Dr Hunter returned a narrative conclusion at the inquest in Derby which found Mr Hill, 30, took his own life while an inpatient partly because "no effective measures were put in place to prevent him doing so". Speaking after the hearing, his widow, Dawn Hill said: "I'm just glad that it's all over and we've got justice for Ricky because that's why we're all here." The court heard Mr Hill walked out of hospital in September 2014 for a cigarette but never came back. Security were alerted but took down an incorrect description which was then passed to police. The first officer on the scene searched the site from a police car using the incorrect description. Another officer later used an out of date satellite image from Google Earth to check the site, which still showed the hospital under construction. Mr Hill's body was found by a local resident in a wooded area on hospital grounds in January 2015. Although the coroner concluded he was dead before the police were called Dr Hunter still had "serious concerns" about the search and said he would write to the force's chief constable. The court also heard nurses lacked training in dealing with mental health patients at the hospital and they had not been told about hospital guidelines. Dr Hunter said he would write to the Department of Health raising concerns that changes should be made at all hospitals. Following the conclusion of the hearing Deputy Ch Con Peter Goodman said: "We want to apologise to the family of Ricky Hill. "We recognise we made mistakes at the time he went missing and subsequent in our search for him there were areas we could have done better." He added the force would work with the coroner to address further concerns. Cathy Winfield, chief nurse at the Royal Derby Hospital, also apologised to the family during the hearing and offered her condolences. Speaking afterwards, she said: "We've run a robust teaching programme for doctors and nurses to help them identify [mental health needs] but also assess the level of risk patients might be facing." The New Zealand international, 25, picked up the honour at the Pro12's awards night in Dublin. Leinster fly-half Joey Carbery was named young player of the year while Ruan Pienaar's score for Ulster against Glasgow was voted try of the season. Ospreys' Sam Davies picked up the golden boot award after having an 88% success rate with his kicks. Scarlets wing Steff Evans won the top try-scorer award in recognition of his 11 touchdowns during the season. Evans' team-mate Ken Owens was named captain of the Pro12's dream team. Owens, Piutau and Pienaar were all included in the Pro12's team of the season announced on Friday. Connacht picked up a £10,000 cheque after winning the fair play award while referee Nigel Owens was presented with the chairman's award for his contribution to the competition over the last 15 seasons. 2016-17 Guinness Pro12 Dream Team T O'Halloran (Connacht); T Seymour (Glasgow Warriors), J Taute (Munster), R Scannell (Munster), C Piutau (Ulster); T Bleyendaal (Munster), R Pienaar (Ulster); D Kilcoyne (Munster), K Owens (Scarlets), J Ryan (Munster); B Toolis (Edinburgh), B Holland (Munster); D Leavy (Leinster), J Davies (Scarlets), J Conan (Leinster) The 34-year-old Irishman replaces Jack Ross who last week was unveiled as the St Mirren boss. The Wasps are third in the table and in their next two matches they are away to league leaders Brechin and second-place Livingston. Goodwin has made more than 400 league appearances in England and Scotland, including at Hamilton and St Mirren. The findings, published in the British Medical Journal, follow research carried out by an American university. Some 1,000 women, who purchased abortion drugs online, were questioned in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The anti-abortion group, Precious Life, criticised the University of Texas survey, saying it has "no credibility". The survey indicated that almost 95% of the medical interventions or abortions were "successful". However, almost a tenth of the women who responded said they had to seek some form of medical attention, including blood transfusions and being prescribed antibiotics. No deaths were reported. The survey concludes that the results support growing calls in some countries for reform of restrictive abortion laws. Researchers analysed self-reported data provided by the women four weeks after they used mifepristone and misoprostol to end an early pregnancy. There were no face-to-face interviews. The data was gathered by an online organisation that issues abortion pills to women. Taking abortion pills without medical approval is illegal throughout the UK, but doctors can legally prescribe the pills to patients in Great Britain. In Northern Ireland, the abortion law is much stricter, and it is a crime to terminate a pregnancy unless a woman's life or health is at serious risk. Abortion is only legal in the Republic of Ireland if the mother's life is at risk. The use of any abortion medication - without medical supervision - can endanger women, with risks including heavy bleeding, blood clots and infection. Woman travel to England or further afield to access termination services. According to the academics, the results of the survey provide "the best world evidence to date" about the effectiveness of using an online service. The findings also reveal that women were able to identify potentially serious complications and seek medical attention when advised to do so. According to the researchers, the results highlight for the first time that rates of adverse effects after using drugs to induce terminations were low. But Precious Life's director Bernadette Smyth said there is "no such thing as a safe abortion". She added that the group that provided the date on which the study was based was "putting the lives and health of pregnant women in Ireland at risk by promoting self-use of abortion pills". Another anti-abortion group said it was concerned that the study was based on "self-reported outcomes of self-sourced and self-managed medical abortions". "Nobody should be taking medical pills of this kind without first contacting their registered GP or health provider," said Marion Woods of Life NI. In Northern Ireland there has been recent controversy over the availability of abortion tablets, and a number of people have been charged in connection with buying and using the pills. It is understood that one of those women was reported to police after she requested medical help. Ex-Ross County player Carey won six under-21 caps for his country, but is yet to feature for the senior side. "I don't think it'll be long before he's in a Republic of Ireland full squad," Adams told BBC Radio Devon. "I think that he's a similar player to Wes Hoolahan, who's now 34 - Graham's only 27." Adams continued: "He's the next one probably that Martin O'Neill will look to in the future, over the next period of time." O'Neill named his latest squad, ahead of their World Cup Qualifier with Wales, on Monday. Carey, who started his career at Celtic, joined Plymouth in July 2015 and has scored 22 goals in 75 League Two appearances. "I think that he deserves an opportunity," said Adams. "We've seen players from Dundalk this season get into the (Republic) side, and Graham Carey is doing it week in, week out at a different level, but a difficult level as it is." Before joining Plymouth, Carey's only spell outside Scotland was a loan stint at Huddersfield in the 2010-11 season. He said: "It's always great when the manager and staff back you, and hopefully we can repay them. "That's one of the main reasons why I came to the club - I've played with him [Adams] before and he really lets me play with a lot of freedom." Developers claim the 100MW project at Glenmuckloch, near Kirckconnel, could generate power for more than a century. It is the latest in a series of renewable energy schemes planned for the site, which is owned by Buccleuch Estates. They are part of a project to redevelop the opencast mine as Glenmuckloch Energy Park. The details have emerged in a scoping report for the pumped storage hydro scheme submitted to Dumfries and Galloway Council. Buccleuch Estates has joined with mining company Hargreaves and 2020 Renewables to draw up the plans. It will involve creating two reservoirs - one higher than the other - which will be connected by a tunnel with a pump-turbine. The report states: "When excess electricity exists within the grid the pump-turbines go into pumping mode lifting water to the upper pond and when demand within the network exceeds available supply the pump-turbines reverse and change to generating mode with water released from the upper pond." If the project goes ahead, the lower reservoir will be created from the existing opencast void, while a second, upper pond will be excavated at the head of Halfmerk Hill. The higher reservoir will have a water depth of 22m (72 feet), creating 3.3million cubic metres of water storage. The redevelopment of Glenmuckloch follows the collapse of surface mining firm Aardvark TMC in 2013, leaving a shortfall in the money needed to restore the site to its pre-opencast condition. However since then Buccleuch Estates and Hargreaves have worked to implement a rolling programme of restoration in parallel with coaling operations. Later this summer two community wind turbines will be built to the west of the hydro site. Earlier this year plans for an eight turbine wind farm next to the mine were submitted to Dumfries and Galloway Council. James McCann, of Suffield Court, Swaffham, Norfolk, worked at St Francis Boys Home in Shefford, Bedfordshire, during the 1960s and 1970s. He was taken ill ahead of a trial at the Old Bailey. The trial was adjourned until Wednesday to allow the court to await an assessment from doctors.

Hundreds of troops crossed into Yemen from Saudi Arabia, taking control of Hazm, capital of Jawf province, military and tribal sources said. On Thursday, troops seized Harad, near the Saudi border, in Hajja province. Violence has continued, despite a UN-backed ceasefire and peace talks in Switzerland which began on Tuesday. Saudi Arabia said two ballistic missiles were fired at the kingdom from Yemen on Thursday. It said one was intercepted and the other landed in desert east of Najran. It did not say whether there were any casualties. Rebels have also accused Yemeni and allied Saudi-led coalition forces of repeatedly breaching the ceasefire, which is meant to last for a week. Houthi rebels and government delegates have been meeting in Biel in Switzerland to try to end months of fighting. At least 5,700 people, almost half of them civilians, have been killed in air strikes and clashes on the ground since the Saudi-led coalition launched a military campaign in March in support of the government. The offensive was launched after the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and advanced towards the second city of Aden. The already dire humanitarian situation in Yemen has also deteriorated severely, with more than 21 million people - four-fifths of the population - now requiring aid. Ford, 46, died after an ongoing fight with a rare and aggressive cancer, which ended his re-election bid in 2014. In September 2014 , he was diagnosed with an abdominal tumour called a liposarcoma, which doctors described as "fairly aggressive" and required chemotherapy. He withdrew from the mayoral race, replaced by his brother Doug, but put his name on the ballot for his old constituency on the city council. Rob Ford was first elected to lead Canada's most populous city in 2010 as an outsider, with strong backing from his suburban neighbourhood. But by 2013 he faced heavy pressure to resign from both political opposition and former allies on the city council after admitting he smoked crack cocaine while severely inebriated. Ford had previously refused to resign from the job, mounting a re-election campaign against multiple challengers. "Our family has been through everything - from murder to drugs to being successful in business," he once told the Toronto Star. "Nobody can tell me a story that can shock." Rob Ford was born in May 1969 in Etobicoke, Ontario, now a diverse district in the west of Toronto. His father, Doug Ford Sr, was a businessman and member of Ontario's provincial parliament. The elder Mr Ford ran the successful printing firm Deco Labels and Tags. The Ford family still owns the company, and Rob Ford had served in senior management positions there. He then attended Carleton University but did not graduate, instead returning home to care for his sister, a recovering heroin addict, according to a profile in Toronto Life magazine profile. Years later, an ex-boyfriend would shoot his sister in the face in her parents' home. In 2000, Ford married his long-time girlfriend Renata. They had two young children. Rarely seen in public, she was dubbed the "invisible wife". Ford was charged with assaulting her in 2008 but the charge was dropped. After a previous attempt, Ford was elected to represent Etobicoke in 2000 in the city council. In that role, he gained a reputation for controversial remarks and an aversion to spending city money. He ran for mayor with a promise to "end the gravy train" at city hall and to partially privatise rubbish collection services after a month-long strike. In 2010 he was elected mayor with 47% of the vote, largely on the strength of his support in the outlying suburbs. His brother Doug Ford Jr replaced him on the council as representative of Etobicoke. The rubbish privatisation was deemed a success, and Ford continued to look for ways to trim the city's budget. Later, he became embroiled in a conflict of interest row after he was accused of using the city of Toronto logo and leveraging his status to solicit funds for his football foundation. The city council tried to sack him, but in January 2013 a Canadian court overturned the removal order. In March 2013, the Toronto Star reported he had been asked to leave a military ball because its organisers thought he was inappropriately intoxicated. "It's an open secret at city hall that the mayor has battled alcohol abuse," the newspaper said. Then, in May 2013 the Star and US gossip website Gawker reported that their journalists had seen a video apparently showing Ford smoking from a crack cocaine pipe while obviously intoxicated. The Toronto mayor denied he was a crack user - but never denied using the drug in the past. Months later, police said they had gained possession of the video. After the revelation, Ford said he had "made mistakes" and said he would curb his drinking. Ultimately, he admitted to smoking crack cocaine, "probably in one of my drunken stupors". And he dismissed calls to step down: "We must keep Toronto moving forward. I was elected to do a job and that's exactly what I'm going to continue doing." The same week, another video of Ford became public. The clip showed the Toronto mayor in a foul-mouthed rant during which he vows to rip out a unspecified person's throat. The context of the clip was not clear, nor was the target of Ford's wrath. He has said he was intoxicated when it was filmed and was "very embarrassed by it". After the video was published, Ford's mother and sister told a local television station his behaviour was unacceptable for a mayor, but said he had done good work for the city. "It isn't like it has affected his work," said Ford's sister, Kathy. Asked whether she thought her brother was an alcoholic, she responded: "It depends on what you consider an alcoholic." In April 2014, Ford officially kicked off his re-election campaign. He had four challengers in the 27 October election. But other recordings of Ford in an apparently intoxicated state surfaced, including in a new audio recording of him making abusive comments about Councillor Karen Stintz, who was also running for mayor, and other politicians. Allegations also surfaced in police documents that Ford threatened a fellow high-school football coach, used racially abusive language, threatened staff, sexually propositioned a female colleague, and snorted cocaine in a restaurant. He denied all of it. In May, the mayor sought treatment for substance abuse, returning to city hall the following month. Ford said the experience saved his life and he continued his re-election campaign, appearing in several debates. Polling suggested he was in second place in the five-person election. But in September 2014, he was admitted to hospital after pain in his abdomen became "unbearable". Several days later, Ford dropped out of the mayoral race, with his brother replacing him on the ballot. He ran for seat on city council instead - and won - and continued to receive treatment. Ford underwent surgery in May 2015 to remove a cancerous tumour but doctors found new growths months later. The Toronto Star reported he was in clinical trial to treat his cancer at the time of his death.

"Liverpool are prepared to help me an awful lot. They want to help me to become a better coach or a better manager," Gerrard, 36, told BBC Sport. "But at the same time I've got to commit to it and put in the hard work." In a wide-ranging interview, Gerrard also: Midfielder Gerrard left Anfield at the end of the 2014-15 season to join MLS side LA Galaxy before retiring in November after a 19-year playing career. Jurgen does it his way and we all respect that and we're happy to have him The former England captain said he was "really happy" to be "back at the club I love and being back home with my family" - but insisted his return was not down to sentiment. "With me and Liverpool there will always be an emotional pull. But the decision to go back as a coach and what that entails, I couldn't really make that decision on sentiment or emotion because I'd have been doing it for the wrong reasons," he said. "I'm very excited but at the same time a little bit nervous and a little bit anxious because it's a brand new role, one that I'm really looking forward to getting my teeth into." Gerrard was linked with the manager's job at League One side MK Dons soon after announcing he would leave LA Galaxy, but said at the time the opportunity had come "too soon" for him. He is working towards his Uefa A coaching licence, which is required to manage in the Premier League, but he says it is still too early to predict the path his future career will take. "There's no rush, no timescale," he said. "The silly thing for me would be to rush and go in when I'm not ready. "I've got incredible people around me and hopefully in the future there'll be some exciting opportunities. "I've a lot of dreams and aspirations to be the best I can be in terms of coaching and management - but we'll have to wait and see if I'm going to be good enough." Media playback is not supported on this device Gerrard was at Anfield on Wednesday to see his club knocked out of the EFL Cup after a 2-0 aggregate defeat by Southampton in the semi-finals. That result continued a difficult start to 2017 for Klopp's side, who have managed just one win in seven games this year - a third-round FA Cup replay victory at League Two Plymouth Argyle. "I hope it's just a blip," added Gerrard, who was speaking in his role as captain of the England team at the Star Sixes tournament, an indoor six-a-side event featuring international teams to be held in London this July. "I've experienced it myself and blips are difficult to play your way out of, but I believe we've got the talent and personnel to do it. "We've been one of the most exciting teams to watch [during Klopp's time in charge]. "There's a bit of a sticky patch the past three or four weeks - but I'm absolutely delighted he's our manager." Kevin Haggard, from Sunblest Foods in Santa Maria, California, travelled to Dunfermline to throw his pies into the ring. They joined 500 entries of all types of pie supplied by 100 bakers and butchers for the competition's judging day. The winner will be announced at a gala lunch on 11 January next year. Mr Haggard said: "I saw an opportunity some years ago now to develop the market for superior meat pies and so I contacted the Pacific Northwest Scottish Society, and I provided pies for a Burns night dinner. "This is how I was introduced to the Scottish community in Seattle and this allowed me to begin selling pies at the Highland Games." He now supplies pies as far afield as Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City, Detroit and Dallas Some of the World Championship categories up for grabs Sajid Javid added that the effort was "firmly on track" to offer high-speed internet to 95% of UK homes and businesses by 2017. He said that fast speeds were "totally transforming the way we live and work". But many have questioned the quality of access and speeds advertised. Superfast broadband is defined by the European Union as speeds of 24Mbps or above. The UK government's ambition is to provide 95% of the UK with those speeds or higher by 2017, with the rest having a minimum speed of 2Mbps. By contrast, Finland plans to have a baseline speed that is more than four times faster - 100Mbps - by next year, while South Korea wants to see citizens equipped with 1Gbps connections by 2017. The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has said that the UK's broadband target is simply not ambitious enough when compared with other nations and wants the government to commit to delivering a minimum of 10Mbps for all homes and businesses by 2018-19. John Allan, FSB's national chairman, told the BBC that "there is still a long way to go". "Small businesses are increasingly reliant on digital services, but too many are without decent and affordable broadband that meets their needs. This restricts their ability to grow, innovate and compete in global markets. "Leaving 5% of the UK without adequate broadband in 2017 is simply not good enough. " But the UK government says the current UK coverage of superfast broadband is the highest of the five biggest European economies. The government has also set aside millions to improve broadband access in rural areas. But BDUK, the group set up to spend the £530m of government money for the rural internet initiative, has come in for criticism for delays in distributing funds to councils and for awarding every contract to BT. "Getting fibre to rural areas is hard, and often complex, work, but we are making great progress," said Gavin Patterson, the chief executive of BT, adding that it was laying undersea cables to the Outer Hebrides, for example. "Some of the early projects are close to completion, and further funds will be released if we come in under-budget or take-up exceeds expectations," he said. A Commons Public Accounts Committee report criticised the government for wasting taxpayers' money by giving all of its broadband funds to BT. The FSB has said that coverage in rural areas is "either very poor or non-existent". Alternative providers are already in place. B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North), for example, offers broadband speeds of up to 1Gbps to about 350 homes currently. But since BT signed contracts with councils around the UK, the plug has been pulled on several community-based schemes. Malcolm Corbett, head of the Independent Network Co-operative Association, which represents some of the smaller broadband suppliers, told the BBC: "It is great that the rollout programme is making good progress. However, there are far too many homes and businesses in both rural and urban areas that won't see any benefit for some years to come. "Fortunately there is a growing sector of independent providers that are stepping up to fill the void," he added, citing projects like CityFibre, which is developing a portfolio to bring ultra-high-speed broadband to York, Peterborough, Coventry, Bournemouth, and more. Andrew Ferguson, the editor of thinkbroadband.com, told the BBC that the focus was now on those 5% of people in the "most remote and hardest parts" of the UK not covered by the current plans for superfast broadband. He said that £10m had been invested in a series of pilot projects currently under way in eight locations across the nation to work out how best to get broadband to them. "The findings will be used to inform future funding bids to ensure everyone benefits from the transformation of the digital landscape currently under way," he added. Prof Alan Mackay-Sim, from Queensland, has spent decades researching spinal cord injuries. A leader in stem cell research, Prof Mackay-Sim's work has been credited with prompting groundbreaking advances. Australia's most prestigious civic honour is awarded each year to a person considered a national role model. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull presented Prof Mackay-Sim with the award at a ceremony in Canberra on Wednesday. The Griffith University emeritus professor was honoured ahead of finalists from the seven other states and territories, including refugee and lawyer Deng Adut, who had been considered the frontrunner. Prof Mackay-Sim has been described as a global authority on the biology of nasal cells, which he used in a world-first clinical trial to treat spinal cord injury. According to Griffith University, the trial was central to a 2014 operation that restored mobility to Polish man Darek Fidyka, who was paralysed from the chest down after a knife attack. Prof Mackay-Sim also spent a decade as director of the National Centre for Adult Stem Cell Research, investigating the biological bases of brain disorders and diseases including schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and hereditary spastic paraplegia. Prof Mackay-Sim succeeds former army chief and equality advocate David Morrison, who has used his platform to promote diversity and inclusion. In his final speech as Australian of the Year on Wednesday, Mr Morrison highlighted domestic violence and the gender pay gap as issues that still challenged the nation. He also rejected criticism the awards had become too political. "The award of Australian of the Year is not without its critics," he said. "But I think it is one of the ways we, as citizens of this great country, can for a moment or hopefully longer focus on what makes us who we are." The Australian of the Year awards are announced on the eve of Australia Day each year. Other recent winners include Rosie Batty, an anti-domestic violence campaigner, Adam Goodes, a sportsman and advocate for indigenous and youth issues, and Ita Buttrose, a media personality who has championed education and health. Other 2017 awards Young Australian of the Year: Fashion designer Paul Vasileff, 26, has had his acclaimed work featured on runways around the world, and won admiration for establishing a couture label in Adelaide that employs 13 people. Senior Australian of the Year: Sister Anne Gardiner, 85, a Catholic nun who moved to the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory when she was 22, has been honoured for her community service and work to document and preserve the local Tiwi language. Australia's Local Hero: Vicki Jellie raised A$5m (£3m; $3.8m) from the community, and A$25m from state and federal governments, to build a radiotherapy treatment centre in western Victoria, fulfilling the dream of her husband, Peter, who died of cancer in 2008. Police found the body of a man in water in a wooded area near the Goodwyns housing estate in Dorking at about 04:20 BST. Searches are under way and officers are still working to identify the man who died, Det Ch Insp Paul Rymarz said. A 21-year-old man is in custody. Anyone with information is urged to contact Surrey Police. Steve Dyer received tributes and messages of support from fans and the club's chairman Darryl Eales after he was admitted to a hospice on Friday. The 59-year-old was given four months to live when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer in November 2015. On Tuesday he was given the number 12 shirt on the official squad list in the match programme. Speaking before Mr Dyer died, Mr Eales said: "It is a story that has touched everyone. "Steve is such a positive person and is fighting so hard. He is part of the club and we want to show him that he is in our thoughts every week." The former Oxford resident moved to New Hampshire in the United States in 1986. He flew back to the UK to watch the U's play at Wembley in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final last April and was invited to meet the team. Last year, Mr Dyer donated two Oxford United season tickets to the Helen and Douglas House hospice. The charity's chief executive Clare Periton said: "[The tickets] brought much joy and happiness to the young people who went along to the matches. "Our thoughts are with his family and friends." Oxford United supporter Andy Scholes - who has also been diagnosed with terminal cancer - has been following Mr Dyer's journey on social media. He said: "From what I've heard he's just been a statue of courage, he's given people like me in his situation the strength in our lives to move on." Yellow Army organiser Joe Nicholls said Mr Dyer - who was made the honorary 12th member of the Oxford United squad for the rest of season - would be honoured in the 12th minute of the club's trip to Wembley in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final. A clinical study by British scientists has shown that the improvement is long-lasting and so the therapy is suitable to be offered as a treatment. The researchers will apply for approval to begin trials to treat more common forms of blindness next year. The therapy involve injecting working copy of the gene into the back of the eyes to help cells regenerate. The results of the therapy, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, have been tried out on 14 patients in the UK and 18 in the US, Canada and Germany over the past four and a half years. A team at Oxford University is treating a rare disorder called choroideremia. The disorder affects young men whose light-detecting cells in the backs of their eyes are dying because they have inherited a faulty gene. Until now, there has been no treatment and they gradually become blind. The researchers found that not only does the treatment halt the disease, it revives some of the dying cells and improves the patient's vision, in some cases markedly. A 24-year-old history teacher Joe Pepper, who works at St John's school in Leatherhead in Surrey, is the latest patient to have been treated. Joe played for Hayes Cricket Club in Kent as a boy, but was forced to give it up at 16 when his vision deteriorated. But he could see well enough to continue his love of the game as a coach at his school. Without the gene therapy, he would have had to give that up too within a few years, as he gradually became blind. The prospect terrified him. "When I was 18, my vision was in a very bad place," he said. "[My sight] was degenerating at quite a speed." He told me: "I was scared of what would have happened; I was scared of not being able to see or live the life I had. "And now to have the belief that that's not going to happen is a weight off your shoulders." Joe is popular with the pupils. He is jovial and laughs a lot. He teaches sport and history with a passion and enthusiasm that are infectious. But his positive personality belies the fact that the past few years have been challenging for him as his sight worsened. "It was really quite upsetting, not only for me, but for my family. "I was never blind but every year there would be something new to compensate for, so my life was never steady and it was the constant changes that affected me the most, particularly when I was 18. Not being able to do what my peers were doing I found quite hard for a while." Joe had his operation in October and began to notice an improvement soon after. "After the operation I was looking into our garden and I could see more but I wasn't sure. "I didn't tell my mum and dad. I didn't want to let anyone get excited until we had done a simple vision test in a week's time." The test involved reading a sight chart of letters. Each line on the chart had progressively smaller letters. He read line after line, going four lines beyond where he had ever read before. The medical staff were astounded. "Everyone in the room just looked at me and I looked at them," he said reliving the moment. "Anna, the research nurse, was taking me back out of the waiting room and she just looked at me and said it was 'fantastic' - both of us just had tears in our eyes." Joe met his father in the waiting area. He was alarmed at the sight of his son in tears. "He thought that it was [bad news] and he just looked at me and we both sat there in each others' arms just realising that actually it had..." [Joe could not finish his sentence]. It was only when he was giving me his account of the joy and relief he felt with his father that the full emotional impact of the moment hit him for the first time. After a brief pause he continued: "I cannot explain how terrifying and upsetting it was when I was younger," he continued. "And now to know that there is so much opportunity, there is so much that I can actually do and do the things that I have actually wanted to and continue to do the things I really enjoy." There are others with similar stories to Joe's. Wayne Thompson, a 46-year-old IT worker from Staffordshire was delighted to be able to see stars in the night sky for the first time following his operation. Jonathan Wyatt, a 68-year-old former lawyer, says "it has opened a new chapter of my life for me when I thought that the book was about to close". As the researchers have gained confidence in their treatment, they have tried it out on progressively younger patients who still have reasonably good vision. Joe is the youngest and the most successful so far. This suggests that the gene therapy may be most effective on younger patients before the disease becomes irreversible. The study also indicates that the treatment is long-lasting. The first patient received the therapy four and a half years ago and his treated eye has shown no drop-off in vision. Indeed, there are still slight improvements in his vision in that eye. This is the first indication that the treatment is viable and could be widely used on patients, according to the eye surgeon leading the trial, Prof Robert MacLaren of Oxford University. "The concept of gene therapy is that it corrects gene defects. Ideally, we should only have to do that once, because once the DNA is corrected and inserted into the correct cell, that cell should be able to continue its function as normal," he told BBC News. "We seem to have achieved this concept of one single treatment that does not need to be repeated which is unlike traditional medicines." Prof MacLaren says that if the next phase of larger trials goes as he anticipates, a gene therapy for choroideremia will be licensed in three years. He has also begun to develop gene therapy trials to treat more common forms of blindness, such as retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. These could begin as early as next year. Treating these disorders will be more challenging. Choroideremia is caused by a defect in a single gene, whereas the more common forms of blindness involve several. But Prof MacLaren believes that the choroideremia trials have laid the ground for the next phase of studies and, crucially, shown that gene therapy for blindness is safe and works. "When I started my career as an eye surgeon when we had these patients that had inherited diseases, not only did we tell them nothing could be done but we would actually discharge them from the clinics. "We are now calling them back in to test them, to look at them in great detail because potential treatments are available. To treat a disease at the genetic level is surely the most efficient way of treating a disease, to prevent it from happening in the first place. "We would like to develop treatments for more common forms of blindness and this may be available in the next five to 10 years," he told BBC News. The Research is funded by the Health Innovation Challenge Fund which is a partnership between the Wellcome Trust and the Department of Health. Follow Pallab on Twitter Prime Minister Najib Razak said a coroner had approved the release of Kim Jong-nam's body. Mr Kim was murdered at Kuala Lumpur airport with a lethal nerve agent last month. The assassination led to a major diplomatic dispute between Malaysia and North Korea. Malaysia has not directly blamed North Korea for the killing, but there is widespread suspicion that Pyongyang was responsible. Prime Minister Najib said nine Malaysians who had been barred from leaving North Korea had now been given permission to return to Malaysia. He also said that all North Koreans would be allowed to leave Malaysia. BBC South-East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head says that probably includes three North Koreans who are wanted by Malaysian police in connection with the killing. Malaysia expressed outrage earlier this month over what it described as North Korea holding its citizens hostage. But now it appears to have acceded to North Korea's wishes to get those Malaysians released, our correspondent adds Mr Najib said: "I had a deep personal concern about this matter, and we worked intensively behind the scenes to achieve this successful outcome. "Many challenges were overcome to ensure the return of our fellow Malaysians." He added: "The government believes strongly in the principles of justice and sovereignty. Our police investigation into this serious crime on Malaysian soil will continue. "I have instructed for all possible measures to be taken to bring those responsible for this murder to justice." Two women - one Vietnamese woman and one Indonesian - have been charged with killing Mr Kim. Both reportedly believed they were participating in a television prank. CCTV footage shows the two approach Mr Kim as he waited for a flight and smear VX nerve agent on his face. He died within 20 minutes. Interpol has issued a "red notice" for four North Koreans wanted in connection with the assassination. Malaysia said the four men were at the airport on the day Mr Kim was killed and had since left the country. They are thought to be in North Korea. A red notice is the nearest equivalent to an international arrest warrant. The move is unlikely to result in arrests as North Korea is not a member of Interpol. The four named in the Interpol red notice are Ri Ji Hyon, 33, Hong Song Hac, 34, O Jong Gil, 55, and Ri Jae Nam, 57. Kim Jong-nam, who was the estranged, elder half-brother of Kim Jong-un, had been passed over for the North Korean succession and was living in the Chinese territory of Macau at the time of his death. It is not clear where Mr Kim's wife and children are, although his son appeared in a video earlier in March and said the family were together. "People don't understand what it means," he opined. "Don't use it." It was an edict that made the job of making programmes about business rather difficult. Because the era of doing things in the same way decade after decade is over. Organisations are confronted by external change and the urgent need to change themselves. Innovation is nothing less than a matter of corporate survival. Well that particular editor is no longer in charge, so now I'm free to talk about inn-o-vation. Along with many other people. The need to innovate has become a commonplace corporate preoccupation. But acknowledging its importance does not make it any easier. So here with a bit of help is Vijay Govindarajan. He's a long-standing professor at the oldest management school, the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth in Massachusetts. He has also been chief innovation consultant for General Electric. And his new book The Three Box Solution, has some noteworthy insights into the innovation process. First a word about Prof Govindarajan. He was born in India in a village not so far from what was then Madras, now Chennai, in the south. As a boy, he was much influenced by his grandfather Tagore Thatha, whose picture is part of this book's dedication. You won't have heard of his grandfather - he stayed at home reading. He revered knowledge above everything else, including work. Impelled by his grandfather's example, Prof Govindarajan flung himself into studying, first in India, then at Harvard University in the US. He told me once how clearly he remembers one particular incident that happened when he had recently qualified as an accountant. In 1977 there was national uproar when Coca-Cola was flung out of India by a government that demanded it shared its technology secrets with local partners. The company refused to share its recipe with anyone. This made a huge impression on him. When he started studying and then working in the US, he saw Western or international values through the prism of his Indian experience. This perspective is a valuable one. Familiar ideas taken for granted by Western managers look slightly different from the viewpoint of the Indian management thinkers who are now in prominent places in academic life. It is a perspective that Prof Govindarajan specialises in. In an earlier book, Reverse Innovation, he writes about innovations and products that are originated in the developing world, not adapted from those created for the rich world. This is very different from the way a multinational company traditionally thinks about rolling out new products - at home first, everywhere else later. This latest book is also about innovation, and it is also rooted in that Indian perspective. The Hindu philosophy of creation, destruction and preservation is the basis of The Three Box Solution. In Hinduism it is a continuous cycle without beginning or end. If that sounds intimidating, it isn't. By creating three boxes that a company ought to concentrate on when it is trying to pilot its way into the future, Prof Govindarajan may enable its leaders and workers to think outside the box their normal experience traps them in. Prof Govindarajan's box one is "managing the present", while box two is "selectively forgetting the past", and box three is "creating the future". Prof Govindarajan says the difficulty for any business is balancing two things very much at odds with each other in most organisations - running at current peak efficiency (box one), while at the same time inventing a new business model (box three). Box three sets aside many (if not all) of the practices and principles which have built the company and made it successful. It needs very different skills, practices and leadership from up to now. Balancing the boxes is very difficult. But it is the second box that's particularly interesting, and particularly hard for most organisations to use. While keeping the current business going (it's making the money, after all), an innovative company has to simultaneously forget what made the business successful in the past. All sorts of thing may need to be forgotten, says the professor. The fact that the company makes products, for example. That it uses dealers with physical premises to distribute its products. That it is based in a particular city, or country. That it knows who its customers are. These assumptions are not just part of management strategy, the reason why the company has been successful up to now. They are deeply embedded in the corporate structure - company divisions, who reports to whom, what can be outsourced... and what are the corporate crown jewels. These considerations are what insiders think of as corporate culture. But they may be a very serious inhibition to real innovation. Prof Govindarajan says there is nothing quite as powerful as an entrenched set of obsolete values and practices, freezing time and enforcing inertia. Box two is about forgetting them, in order to innovate in a way very detached from what has gone before. Of all the ideas and examples in this book, it is the need to forget the (successful) corporate past that is the most striking, and perhaps the most counter-intuitive. You might say that success is the forerunner of company failure. Prof Govindarajan says: "Future weaknesses are embedded in current strengths." Or to go further, in a world as disruptive as the one we now live in, really big corporate success is a creator of failure to come. Success anesthetises an organisation from what is going on in the world it operates in. To create the future, a company has to forget the past - while at the same time using the revved up revenue flows from present operations to finance that ever-necessary change. An unceasing corporate tug-of-war. No wonder my editor could not understand inn-o-vation. Hartlepool Council wanted to demolish the Longscar building on the Seaton Carew seafront, which has been empty since 2009, and create a market space. However, a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) was turned down in October. The council has now approved plans for an outdoor leisure park to the north of the building. It will include children's play equipment and water jets, as well as beach huts along the promenade. There will also be improvement to the Grade II listed clock tower and bus station and the surrounding area. Councillor Kevin Cranney, chair of the regeneration services committee, said: "Although we were bitterly disappointed with the government's decision not to confirm the CPO, we want to send out a clear message that we remain fully committed to the regeneration of Seaton Carew. "The re-phased masterplan still provides us with an opportunity to bring about some significant redevelopment that builds upon recent improvements to the sea defences and promenade and benefits the local economy." The 25-year-old midfielder has made just five appearances for the Saints this season - two of them in the League Cup - and his contract with the club is set to expire in the summer. Ramirez spent most of last season on loan at Hull City, scoring just once in 22 Premier League appearances. The Uruguayan has also been capped 34 times by his country. Boro are currently a point behind Championship leaders Hull, having lost their last two league matches, as they vie for automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

The bearded 55-year-old is also the son of one of the Communist Party's most revered poets - making his criticism particularly difficult for the authorities to handle. He has spoken out against human rights abuses and urged Beijing to reform its political system. "We have a government that, after 60 years in power, doesn't give its own people the right to choose its leaders," he told the BBC in November 2010. "This is a society that sacrifices people's rights and happiness to make a profit." In April 2011, he was detained by the authorities as he boarded a Hong Kong-bound flight and held in a secret location for 81 days. He was freed on condition that he would not speak to the media - a condition he has not kept. The authorities said he had been investigated for "economic crimes" and several months later served him with a bill for 15m yuan ($2.4m; £1.5m) in back-taxes and fines for a firm called Fake Cultural Development. Mr Ai is a designer of the firm, but his wife is its legal representative. He challenged the fine in court, with thousands of people donating money to help. After the court rejected his appeal, the artist said via Twitter: 'We will keep appealing, until the day comes when we have nothing to lose.'' Born in 1957 in Beijing, Ai Weiwei has played a key role in contemporary Chinese art over the last two decades. He is the son of one of China's most famous poets, Ai Qing, a Communist Party member revered today despite being sent to a labour camp during the Cultural Revolution. The family lived in Xinjiang, in China's far north-west, until Ai Qing was formally rehabilitated and allowed to return to Beijing. There Ai Weiwei studied at the Beijing Film Academy and was a founder member of an art group called The Stars. He then spent more than a decade in the US before returning to China. It was his involvement in the design of Beijing's Olympic stadium that brought him international prominence. Working with Swiss architects, he helped design the Bird's Nest structure now recognised around the world. But even as his work was hailed, Ai Weiwei spoke out against the Olympics, describing them as a government-controlled "empty event" not shared by ordinary citizens. He then went on to court controversy in the wake of the devastating May 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Several schools collapsed, prompting accusations from parents that they had been poorly built because of official corruption. Mr Ai produced Remembering, a wall of Chinese text made from children's backpacks that covered the facade of the Haus der Kunst in Munich, Germany. The text read: "'She lived happily for seven years in this world" - the words of a mother whose daughter died in the quake. He also compiled a list of the names of the children who died, and accused the government of exacerbating parents' grief with official denial. "These people are still constantly asking questions and nobody will ever answer them because the government is trying to hide the true problems of the collapse of the school buildings," he told the BBC in May 2009. He later accused police of beating him as he attended the trial of another activist, Tan Zuoren, who had spoken out on the same issue. He wrote a well-read blog where he posted films, photos and political opinions, but this was shut down in May 2009. In October 2010 Ai Weiwei unveiled his latest work - a carpet of 100 million porcelain sunflower seeds - at the Tate Modern gallery in London. He has described the work as a commentary on mass production and a question about the role of an individual in society. By then, the authorities in Beijing were paying him considerable attention. In December 2010, days before the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony for imprisoned campaigner Liu Xiaobo, like several other campaigners he was told he could not travel abroad. A month later, his studio in Shanghai was demolished. Officials said he had failed to obtain planning permission for the building, but Mr Ai said the move was linked to his activism. He was then detained in April 2011 at Beijing airport. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said he was being investigated "according to the law". His bail ended a year after his 22 June 2011 release from custody, but Mr Ai said he was still subject to restrictions. "My feelings are very mixed," he said. "They told me I cannot leave the nation. I asked them for how long and they said: 'We cannot answer you'. It seems very disappointing." Cases of whooping cough, which can be deadly, were higher in the first six months of 2015 than in the same period last year. Yet figures show only half of women are being immunised. Newborns are highly susceptible to the infection until they start vaccination at two months old. The vaccine for pregnant women was introduced three years ago in the midst of an outbreak of whooping cough. The idea is that the mother produces protective antibodies in response to the vaccine, which are then passed on to the child until they themselves are vaccinated. Public Health England (PHE) said vaccination reduced the risk of a newborn developing whooping cough by 91%. It said 56.4% of pregnant women were vaccinated in 2014-15. In that time there were seven baby deaths from whooping cough. In the first six months of this year there were 1,744 cases - up from 1,412 in the same period last year - although levels remain below those seen in the outbreak. Dr Mary Ramsay, PHE's head of immunisation, said: "It's important that pregnant women visit their GP surgery or midwife to get vaccinated, ideally between weeks 28 and 32 of their pregnancy. "Being vaccinated against whooping cough while you're pregnant is a highly effective way to protect your baby in the first few weeks of their life." Prof John Watson, England's deputy chief medical officer, said whooping cough was "an extremely distressing illness". He added: "Deaths in infants with whooping cough have reduced significantly since the introduction of the vaccine for pregnant women in 2012 so I encourage all pregnant women to take up the pertussis vaccine when offered." It is also known as pertussis and is caused by a species of bacteria, Bordetella pertussis It mostly affects infants, who are at highest risk of complications and even death The earliest signs are similar to a common cold, then develop into a cough and can even result in pneumonia Babies may turn blue while coughing due to a lack of oxygen The cough tends to come in short bursts followed by desperate gasps for air (the whooping noise) Adults can be infected - but the infection often goes unrecognised Prof Alan Cameron, from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said: "We understand some women may have concerns about receiving vaccinations during their pregnancy, but we can provide reassurance that the whooping cough vaccine is safe for use during pregnancy, with no known adverse side effects for mother or baby." The Football Association, the Premier League and Sport England have made available the funds, which will be administered by six County FAs in the north of England. FA chief executive Martin Glenn said: "Once the scale of the impact of the recent storms became clear, the FA and its funding partners came together to make funds available." Sport England had already announced it would initially invest up to £200,000 to help sports facilities affected. League Two club Carlisle were also affected, with Brunton Park flooded, and Saturday's game against Notts County will be at Preston's Deepdale ground. The situation was so severe at Brunton Park that Koi Carp fish were found swimming in the goalmouth. But as a Football League team Carlisle will not benefit from the fund. Abdul Sattar Edhi, 86, was asleep when a gang of armed men raided the Karachi slum building that serves as his residence and charity headquarters. They made off with gold, silver and cash worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in the raid early on Sunday. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and opposition leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari both condemned the robbery. Mr Edhi is one of Pakistan's most revered figures and has spent a lifetime building up its largest health charity. The Edhi Foundation provides a broad range of free social services, including ambulances, orphanages and support for the elderly and disabled. "I am heartbroken. After everything I have done, I never thought I'd be violated like this inside my own home," Mr Edhi told the BBC. His son Faisal Edhi said: "My father is fine, but deeply saddened by this incident. He was tearful yesterday. It's not about the money or the valuables they took away. But his pride has been violated." Many people took to social media to voice their anger at the robbery, which correspondents say is shocking despite the notoriously high crime rates in Karachi. Mubashar Lucman, a leading presenter on the ARY News channel, said: "If a person of his stature is not safe in this country then what system are we talking about." "It is heart breaking then what happened with our asset, our saviour, our angel.... Abdul Sattar Edhi saab," tweeted journalist Fereeha Idrees. "Imagine what would have happened if Edhi got the Nobel Peace Prize and lost it in the robbery in his center," said another message. Many messages urged people to donate to Edhi because of the robbery, but some others questioned why so much money and valuables had been kept in his residence. Mr Edhi said as well as some cash kept for emergencies, the money and valuables included deposits entrusted to the foundation for safekeeping. He said the robbers had walked straight to the locker where the money and gold was kept and demanded the key. "I thought they came to ask me about the Edhi centre but they started asking me about money. I don't understand how they knew that everything was kept in the cupboard," Mr Edhi told the Express Tribune newspaper. Police are hunting for the robbers but have yet to make any arrests. Correction 22 October 2014: A tweet that was incorrectly attributed to Abdul Sattar Edhi has been removed from this report. Davies, 52, a former director of rugby at Gloucester, recently left his role as head coach of Ebbw Vale. Merthyr, under head coach Lee Jarvis, beat Aberavon to secure their first Premiership title. "We look forward to working alongside Nigel and wish him all the best in his new role," Merthyr said in a statement." "Nigel will primarily be involved in the commercial side of the business as chief executive and brings a wealth of experience with him." Media playback is not supported on this device Needing a point to lift the title, Ards were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to a Ross Arthurs strike and an own goal by visiting keeper Gareth Buchanan. Niall Currie's men added a third after the break through Carl McComb. H&W Welders beat Bangor 1-0 to finish runners-up, three points behind Ards, and Institute go into the play-off. With the Welders, Armagh and Knockbreda not having Premiership licences, fifth-placed Institute go into the promotion/relegation game over two legs against Ballinamallard United who finished one-from-bottom of the Premiership. Institute lost 1-0 to Ballyclare but just edged their place on goal difference from Larne who hammered Lisburn Distillery 6-1. Ards, who play at Bangor's home ground, last played in the top flight in 2014 when they were relegated. On Thursday night they missed their first chance to clinch the title by losing 2-0 away to Knockbreda. But they made no mistake on Saturday against mid-table Loughgall. Arthurs put them into a 37th-minute, pouncing after McComb's initial effort had been well saved by Buchanan. The second goal quickly followed as Craig McMillen's inswinging corner was punched into the net by keeper Buchanan. McComb cut inside to complete the scoring with a composed finish in the 58th minute. As Ards celebrated their triumph, they held up the number eight shirt of team-mate Gary Warwick who had been seriously injured in an assault in Belfast six days earlier. The midfielder suffered a fractured skull and bruising to the brain in the city centre attack. After the match on Saturday, the Ards players wore tee-shirts bearing Warwick's photograph and the message 'this one's for you Gary'. The 17-year-old from Bradford, who cannot be named, was also ordered to receive intensive counselling from a deradicalisation expert. The teenager had been convicted of making the pipe bomb at Leeds Crown Court in January. During his trial it emerged he was a member of the "secretive neo-Nazi" group National Action. The boy, who praised the killer of MP Jo Cox, was arrested after he put a photo of the pipe bomb online. Last month he was found guilty of making explosives but acquitted of the preparation of terrorist acts. Passing sentence Mr Justice Goss said the boy needed "a considerable amount of work and attention" in order to address his behaviour. The judge told the boy he rejected his claim to have been "merely fooling about with fireworks" and said "you have continued to express extreme views". He said the boy would have received "a substantial custodial sentence" had he been convicted of preparing terrorist acts. Counter-terrorism officers arrested the boy in his bedroom in July 2016 after a member of the public alerted them to a series of Snapchat posts. These posts included apparent threats to ethnic minorities and an image of the pipe bomb. Detectives found the improvised explosive device inside a desk drawer and an army bomb disposal expert was called out to make it safe. During his trial the boy admitted he had wanted people to think he was planning an attack, but said he never had any real intention of carrying one out. He told the court he still held Nazi views and he had been a member of National Action. It was proscribed under anti-terrorism laws in December. Jo Cox was murdered by Thomas Mair in act of of far-right terrorism in her West Yorkshire constituency of Birstall. The 17-year-old posted a picture of her killer online saying "Thomas Mair is a HERO". "We need more people like him to butcher the race traitors", he also wrote. Wael Shalaby was a former secretary general of Egypt's administrative courts system. He resigned on Saturday, a day before his arrest. The public prosecutor said his arrest was part of an inquiry into accusations of officials receiving bribes. A gag order on all media over the corruption case has now been issued. Mr Shalaby's resignation came after a procurement manager at Egypt's State Council, the umbrella organisation for the country's administrative courts, was arrested. Gamal al-Din al-Labban was charged with receiving bribes worth millions of Egyptian pounds. The public prosecutor has referred to the two arrests as part of the same case. Alongside his role in the State Council, Mr Shalaby also served as a deputy chief justice in the administrative courts, according to the Reuters news agency. Mr Shalaby's lawyer, Sayed Beheiry, told Reuters that his client hanged himself using a scarf he was wearing. "He was going through a terrible psychological state during his questioning," he said. "It is very hard to be a big important judge and suddenly you lose everything and sit in front of an investigator being accused of taking a bribe." The lawyer told the Daily News Egypt newspaper that his client was subjected to interrogations that deprived him of sleep for nearly 40 hours. Mr Shalaby, he added, had also said his arrest was illegal, because prosecutors had not issued an arrest warrant. The interior ministry, which oversees prisons, has not commented. The public prosecutor has ordered an autopsy, state news agency Mena reports. Shortly after the death was confirmed, Egypt's Prosecutor-General Nabil Sadek placed a gag order on the case until the investigations are concluded. Local and foreign non-governmental organisations say corruption is rife in Egypt. The country was ranked 88th out of 168 countries on Transparency International's 2015 corruption perceptions index. Five initial proposals include laying cables under sea to Deeside or burying power lines from Anglesey underground. Burying lines would cost £1bn more than National Grid's preferred option of pylons and overhead lines between Wylfa and the Pentir substation near Bangor. Some locals claim the alternatives to pylons have been less well publicised. The National Grid is charged to upgrade and extend the electricity infrastructure as part of a £110bn investment in energy in Britain. According to National Grid staff, who have been touring Anglesey and Gwynedd publicising the consultation, they want people to approach them with questions or concerns. This consultation echoes some of the concerns voiced in mid Wales with the proposed Powys-Shropshire connection. To facilitate planned wind farms there, almost 30 miles (48km) of pylons are being planned including a new sub-station near Cefn Coch. Many locals oppose these plans. Hundreds of millions of pounds of investment is earmarked in other parts of Wales, in Snowdonia's National Park and Ynys Mon's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). But just as in Powys, some landowners and local residents are realising that National Grid's preferred option focuses its consultation on offering four possible pylon routes. There seems to be support for offshore wind turbines and the job prospects that could come with a new nuclear power station, but what some of Anglesey's 68,000 residents also want is to get rid of unsightly pylons. Building a new line, to add to the existing 20 miles (32km) of pylons across the island, is likely to be opposed by some. Independent councillor Alun Mummery, who represents Llanfairpwll, said National Grid had not been "up front" about the options. "They've tried to take away from the equation the fact that there is a call for underground or under sea [cables]," he said. "They said it was not their preferred option so they didn't put it out to discussion really." One influential landowner on the island is the Bodorgan Estate, where general manager Tim Bowie also has reservations about new pylons. "I think that most of the consultations have been poorly attended, certainly the one I went to at the local school," he said. "I attended with a colleague and there were only five of us there which means that from the local community there were only three other people present. "I think the consultation is also flawed in other areas. It immediately dismisses the sub-sea route and we've been told that it's unacceptable because of the cost." With old coal power stations being closed down Britain needs new energy plants - and wind farms, gas and nuclear power stations are seen as the answers. Llywelyn Rhys, of Renewable UK Cymru, said: "We're moving forward quickly to an energy gap and we have to plan to secure our energy supply for the future. "In terms of the location of the consultations, as we move to more low carbon generating sources such as offshore wind and onshore wind in rural areas, we obviously have to extend the grid to places that maybe haven't previously experienced grid infrastructure before." National Grid manager Martin Kinsey said no decisions have been made yet. "This is all about consultation, we're here to listen to what local people have to say," he said. "We've looked at placing the connection below the sea as well as placing it above and below the ground. "There is a question of cost - it is £1bn more expensive to look at the alternatives and that's £1bn that will ultimately end up on people's electricity bills. "We believe that the right proposal is for a transmission line across Anglesey. But we have said that in areas of high sensitivity we will consider undergrounding that connection." National Grid officials are still considering how to deal with opposition in mid Wales, and will already be aware of the grumbling that has started in Gwynedd and Anglesey. The Welsh government said energy connections were wholly a matter for the UK government, but added: "We recognise the importance of strengthening the grid in north Wales to future-proof the network. However we are also mindful of the impact that the new infrastructure will have on communities in north Wales. "That is why we will continue to engage with the National Grid on new grid infrastructure within north Wales and to encourage mitigation of the visual impact of any potential new transmission lines." Lincoln County Hospital has also restricted admissions to five more wards following the outbreak. United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, which manages the hospital, said the ward closures were to prevent the virus spreading. The trust declined to specify which wards were shut, but said no children's wards had been affected. Michelle Rhodes, director of nursing at the trust, said the "highly contagious" virus could spread rapidly in hospitals. "Symptoms of norovirus include diarrhoea and vomiting and, just like flu, the virus can seriously affect vulnerable patients," she said. "If you have norovirus symptoms, please do not attend A&E. The best thing you can do is rest and take plenty of non-caffeinated drinks to avoid dehydration." A trust spokesman said some areas of the hospital were expected to reopen following deep cleaning over the next few days. The 51-year-old man was hit by a silver Hyundai while crossing the eastbound carriageway at Bilbrough, near Tadcaster, at 22:30 GMT on Monday. North Yorkshire Police said the man, who has not been named, was pronounced dead at the scene. The car driver was unhurt. The A64 did not reopen until 03:30 GMT following the collision. The 46-year-old has signed a two-year contract and steps up to the post vacated by Dale Benkenstein midway through last season at the Ageas Bowl. White made his name at Yorkshire, before going on to play 30 Tests and 51 one-day internationals for England. "I'm flattered and honoured," White told BBC Radio Solent. "It's a fantastic opportunity for me and I can't wait to get started in the job." White, previously the county's assistant and bowling coach, took charge for six County Championship matches last season following Benkenstein's departure. But he was unable to prevent Hampshire finishing in the bottom two of Division One. However, Durham's subsequent relegation and punishment by the England and Wales Cricket Board because of financial issues meant Hampshire were reinstated in the top division for next season. "I was thrust into the job and I really enjoyed it," added White, who played in 30 Tests and 51 one-day internationals for England between 1994 and 2003. "It was something I didn't think I was quite ready for. Maybe another two or three years learning the trade might have been the right time. "But when [director of cricket] Giles White mentioned would I take on the job full-time, I said I would. "I think some big names applied, so to be given the job permanently is a great honour." The twice world darts champion died on 24 March at the age of 62. He had been suffering from the lung disorder chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. About 400 people, including former darts star Eric Bristow, packed Kirkcaldy Crematorium to hear about a "wonderful and loving" dad. He leaves behind wife Malvina and their three children Anne Marie, John and William, and six grandchildren. During the service, conducted by Denis Madden, mourners heard how Wilson would have celebrated his 44th wedding anniversary next month. Mr Madden said: "When it came to the crunch, what this man's life was all about was his wife, his children and grandchildren. That's what mattered. "He was a lovely, quiet, firm family man." Mr Madden told how Wilson never sought the fame his success brought him after he first picked up darts in a local pub when the team were a player down. He said: "He went on to play all over the world. I don't think there's a continent that the man did not play in. But if the truth be told, Jocky Wilson never wanted to become famous or in the spotlight. "Jocky would be the first to tell you that work in its own right was a means to an end, all he wanted out of it was to provide well for his wife and family." He added: "Jocky was a wonderful dad. He was full of fun and laughter, and yet I have to say he and Malvina brought their children up well because they have instilled nothing but the best of values, morals and standards in all three of them. "He has played a huge part in moulding each one of them into the people that they have become today." From his debut at the World Championship in 1979 until 1991, Wilson managed to reach at least the quarter-finals of the tournament on every occasion. Wilson also lifted the British Professional Championship four-times between 1981 and 1988, as well as the British Open and Matchplay titles. He was a founding member of the Professional Darts Corporation and is acknowledged as one of the main forerunners to darts' current popularity. The release reportedly came after talks with the government, though few details are confirmed. The abduction of the so-called "Chibok girls" triggered a global outcry and sparked a huge social media campaign. Before the latest release, about 195 of the girls were still missing. Read more: Sources told the BBC that the young women were now in the custody of the Nigerian army. They were brought by road convoy from a remote area to an army base in Banki near the Cameroon border. The BBC's Stephanie Hegarty in Lagos says that many families in Chibok will be rejoicing at this latest news, but more than 100 of the girls taken have yet to be returned. Christian pastor Enoch Mark, whose two daughters were among those kidnapped, told Agence France-Presse: "This is good news to us. We have been waiting for this day. We hope the remaining girls will soon be released." It was unclear whether his daughters had been freed. A military source told the agency the freed girls would be flown to Borno's state capital of Maiduguri on Sunday. After the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok was raided in April 2014, more than 50 girls quickly escaped and Boko Haram then freed another 21 last October, after negotiations with the Red Cross. The campaign for the return of the girls drew the support of then US First Lady Michelle Obama and many Hollywood stars. Last month, President Muhammadu Buhari said the government remained "in constant touch through negotiations, through local intelligence to secure the release of the remaining girls and other abducted persons unharmed". Many of the Chibok girls were Christian, but were encouraged to convert to Islam and to marry their kidnappers during their time in captivity. Boko Haram has kidnapped thousands of other people during its eight-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic caliphate in north-eastern Nigeria. More than 30,000 others have been killed, the government says, and hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee from their homes. A section of Victoria Park, in the Partick area of the city, was cordoned off on Friday while police forensic experts examined the scene. Officers have appealed for anyone with information about the attack to come forward. A Police Scotland spokeswoman said the assault is reported to have taken place between 01:00 and 02:00. Inquiries are ongoing.

Kenwyne Jones rose highest to meet Peter Whittingham's lofted ball and give Cardiff a first-half lead. Joe Mason doubled the advantage shortly after the break by diverting Anthony Pilkington's shot with his head. Michail Antonio scored from a long ball to set up a frantic finish but Cardiff held on to win. It was an unnecessarily nervous ending to what had been a comfortable and controlled performance by the unbeaten visitors. Forest were restricted to shots from distance that rarely troubled goalkeeper David Marshall, who remains a transfer target for West Brom. The Bluebirds are also braced for potential bids for Jones before the end of the transfer window, and the striker again proved his worth with his second goal in as many games on 23 minutes that rewarded Cardiff's early dominance. Mason, who had a first-half penalty claim ignored, continued his fine start to the season by doubling the lead four minutes into the second half. Pilkington's shot may well have beaten Dorus de Vries in the Forest goal, but Mason made sure by adding the final touch with his head. But the game was transformed four minutes from time when a long, hopeful ball found Antonio behind the Cardiff defence and he stroked the ball past Marshall. Antonio's goal gave Forest hope of salvaging an unlikely point, although Mason then wasted a glorious chance to give Cardiff a third by miss-controlling in Forest's six-yard box. Nottingham Forest manager Dougie Freedman: "The difference, in a nutshell, was that they had two very good strikers, who got them goals, and an excellent keeper who kept them in the match. "I cannot be disappointed in the way we are playing or in our spirit because we gave it a go. We have a lot of young players and that was the difference today, when it came to our decision making in the opposition box. "For most of the second half, we were knocking on the door. It was just their keeper who saved them a few times. Had we made better decisions in the final third, we might have got a better result. "But we are working away with the younger players and don't feel sorry for me. This is where we are. We have three or four good strikers on the treatment table." Cardiff City manager Russell Slade told BBC Wales Sport: "We dominated possession, we looked the better team and then just caused ourselves some problems towards the end when Forest got a goal back. "We should've put the game to bed really. Mason won't get a better chance to wrap the game up in the later stages as Forest were trying to get the equaliser. "But it was a really good performance. A couple of players who played 120 minutes on Tuesday night started to look a bit tired but full credit to them they stuck together, did their jobs and we got the reward."

Cardiff City collected their first Championship away win of the season at Nottingham Forest to move into the top six.

Stronger exports of chemicals, oil, machinery and aircraft parts were behind the improvement, the ONS said. The Office for National Statistics said the deficit was £3.294bn, from £3.532bn in March, the lowest level since September 2015. Recent private sector surveys have pointed to stronger exports and industrial output. The total value of all goods exported jumped by 11.2% on the month, the biggest rise since records started in 1998. That rise took the value of goods exports in April to £26.123bn - not far from an all-time high set in June 2013. UK economic growth slowed to a quarterly rate of 0.4% in the first three months of 2016, down from 0.6% in the last three months of 2015, with the trade deficit accounting for much of the drag. However, the ONS said that revisions to March trade data pointed to less of a drag on GDP from trade than first estimated. Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said that data pointed to "welcome and much-needed" improvements for the economy. "Along with the jump in industrial production in April and decent retail sales growth, the trade data suggest that UK GDP growth could be holding up better in the second quarter than has been thought, despite the heightened uncertainty," he said. Sterling fell to its lowest since late 2013 on a trade-weighted basis in April, although falls in the price of UK exports typically take longer to feed through into foreign demand. However, Mr Archer said that "the marked overall weakening of the pound since late-2015 may be feeding through to help UK exporters". Dalian Atkinson, who played for clubs including Aston Villa and Ipswich Town, died aged 48 in August following the incident in Telford, Shropshire. His funeral will be held on Saturday. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating and two West Mercia police officers are under criminal investigation. Mr Atkinson's siblings said they want the funeral to be a celebration of his life but expressed frustration at not knowing "why such force was used" by police. In their joint statement, Mr Atkinson's family said he had struggled to come to terms with a serious illness affecting his kidneys during the last six months of his life. His sister Elaine said: "The way that he died while he was so vulnerable casts such a dark shadow over everything. "Every day is filled with agony and frustration because we still do not know what happened nor understand why such force was used on him." His siblings described him as "a kind, caring and protective brother" who "always brought life and energy to family gatherings". They said it was "heart-breaking" to see his health deteriorate with pneumonia, "leaving his light and energy significantly reduced". His family said he had spoken to his sister Otis on the evening before he died. They said Mr Atkinson told her: "All I ever wanted was to make people happy. "I played football the way that I did because I wanted to entertain. "I wanted everyone to go home with smiles on their faces." The Taser was used on the former Sheffield Wednesday player outside his father's house on 15 August. He went into cardiac arrest on his way to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. US President Donald Trump had urged authorities to rethink their decision, AP news agency said. A US travel ban is in place for six Muslim-majority countries, which does not include Afghanistan. Students from The Gambia earlier also had their visa restrictions lifted. According to AP, Homeland Security Department spokesman David Lapan said the decision to allow the Afghan girls to enter had been approved after a request by the state department. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders attributed the request to an intervention by President Trump, the news agency said. The girls have been granted exceptional "parole" to stay in the country for 10 days, and have not been granted visas, Politico reported. The competition organised by non-profit group First Global will see teams from 164 countries compete in a series of robotic games. "I am most grateful to the US Government and its state department for ensuring Afghanistan, as well as Gambia, would be able to join us for this international competition this year," First Global President Joe Sestak said in a statement. The US president's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump tweeted in response to news that she looked forward to welcoming the Afghan team to Washington. The Afghan team of six teenage high school students are participating in the competition which runs 16-18 July with a ball-sorting robot. The girls' visa applications for the one-week trip to the US had reportedly been blocked despite two rounds of interviews. After the initial rejection, the students expected they would have to watch the competition via Skype from their hometown of Herat in western Afghanistan. "We were not a terrorist group to go to America and scare people," 14-year-old Fatema Ghaderyan told the AFP news agency in Herat. "We just wanted to show the power and skills of Afghan girls to Americans." First Global aims to promote Stem subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths). "All 163 teams from 157 countries have gained approval to the United States, including Iran, Sudan, and a team of Syrian refugees," Mr Sestak said. "I could not be more proud." The Law Commission estimates the shortfall could be up to £666m every year, London's High Court was told. Liverpool, Nottinghamshire, Richmond, and Shropshire councils are seeking a judicial review of the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) procedure. A 2014 Supreme Court ruling led to a tenfold rise in cases, judges heard. The four councils claim the government has failed to provide adequate funding and has created "a national crisis" for local authorities all over England. The case concerns the 2009 DoLS regime which was designed to protect people who lack the capacity to act for themselves and are liable to be detained in care homes or hospitals for their own safety, treatment or care. This includes people suffering from dementia and learning difficulties. Councils must ensure any deprivation of liberty is lawful under human rights legislation and the Mental Health Act. The court heard that the landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2014 - known as the Cheshire West decision - widened the definition of those subject to the regime, leading to a tenfold rise in cases. The Local Government Association has argued that an additional £172m a year is needed while claiming government funding is currently at £34m. James Goudie QC, appearing for the councils, said the government had "singularly failed to heed this warning". He said: "As a result, local authorities across the country now face a massive funding deficit in delivering the mandatory human rights protections embodied in the DoLS regime." Mr Goudie argued the Law Commission estimated the shortfall to be in the region "of a third and two thirds of a billion pounds, the vast majority of which will recur annually to local authorities". He said: "That shortfall has created a real possibility that local authorities will not be able to fulfil their legal duties." Born in Toronto, Ontario, in 1959, Mr Harper became involved in politics while still at school. After obtaining a masters degree from the University of Calgary he went on to work as a political aide. Mr Harper won a parliamentary seat for the Reform Party in 1993, but quit four years later to work for a conservative lobby group. He returned to parliament in 2002 as head of the Canadian Alliance and leader of the opposition. A year later his party merged with the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada. The new Conservative Party, with Mr Harper at the helm, reunited Canada's political right after years of disarray. But the father-of-two could not beat Liberal Party leader Paul Martin in the 2004 election, and Mr Martin was able to form a minority government. Observers say the Conservative Party's controversial statements on abortion and same-sex marriage lost them key votes on that occasion. Next time around, Mr Harper - a keen strategist - managed to marginalise the more extreme elements of his party. His election as Canada's prime minister in 2006 reversed more than a decade of Liberal Party rule in parliament. It also completed Mr Harper's transformation from hard-line right-winger to a progressive conservative with a party positioned at the centre of the political spectrum. Sometimes seen as an aloof figure more at home with a spreadsheet than working a crowd, the Alberta MP managed to stay at the helm of a minority government longer than expected. Accusations that he was a pro-Bush "extremist" who would curb abortion rights and put an end to same-sex marriages failed to stick. But he was also helped by the disarray among the opposition Liberals and a perceived lack of appetite among Canadians to head back to the polls. After two years he called for a snap poll a year ahead of schedule, complaining that parliament was "dysfunctional" and deadlocked. In the 2008 election he increased his party's seats but still fell short of holding a majority. But he received a fillip the following year when the newly-inaugurated Barack Obama chose Canada as the destination for his first foreign trip as US president. Mr Harper received a lot of criticism in 2010 over the $1.1bn cost (US$1.1bn; £730m) of staging the double summit of G8 and G20 leaders in Toronto. A temporary water feature dubbed the "fake lake" came to symbolise what many critics saw as Mr Harper's extravagant spending. By the time his opponents triggered the 2011 election, though, Mr Harper was able to present himself as the stable, familiar guiding hand of Canadian politics. His measured campaign messages clearly hit home, and with the Conservatives' political rivals failing to challenge them in the polls, Mr Harper was able to secure the majority that had previously eluded him. Under Mr Harper the party took 54% of the seats in parliament, securing a third consecutive term and transforming their minority government into a majority. Mr Harper ran a tightly focused campaign concentrating largely on his government's record in managing the economy, which had emerged from a recession as one of the strongest among the G7 group of countries. But four years later, it's the economy that proved his Achilles heel, with the country officially entering recession at the start of the election campaign. He was under fire for his low spending, low taxes policies, and was at odds with his political opponents over the bombing campaign against Islamic State in Syria. A lone gunman attack on the parliament building in Ottawa proved to be a pivotal moment. Mr Harper pushed through Bill C-51, which increased policing and surveillance powers despite an outcry from civil liberty campaigners. He lost the election to the fresh-faced, energetic Justin Trudeau, and resigned as Conservative leader. Ten months later, he quit his seat in Calgary, signalling the end of his decades-long association with politics, to focus on business interests. Quigg, 28, moved to work under hall of fame inductee Roach at California's prestigious Wildcard Gym in February. Quigg, who meets Romanian Viorel Simion in an eliminator for the IBF featherweight title held by Lee Selby, said he is now "a different fighter". "He's the only guy who works harder than Pacquiao," said Roach, who also trains the eight-weight world champion. "That's a big call," added the seven-time winner of the Boxing Writers' of American Trainer of the Year award. "His work ethic is great and we've seen a lot of really good changes already in the gym." Quigg, who lost the WBA super-bantamweight world title to Carl Frampton in 2016, won on his only outing at featherweight in December. The meeting with Simion, who has one defeat in 22 fights, forms part of the undercard to Anthony Joshua's heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium. It will be Quigg's first bout since parting ways with Manchester-based trainer Joe Gallagher. "I've always wanted to keep improving," said Bury-born Quigg. "I'm walking into the gym with Freddie and I feel like I'm back in school, keeping on learning. The sparring, the quality, just being around that environment I feel a different fighter. "I think it's the best place to be. You're sparring all different kinds, you can't get better preparation. The subtle changes that have been made I'm putting into practice against world level opposition. I'm confident on Saturday night you will see the best ever Scott Quigg." Two women and one man were detained in the southern town of Galle after a photographic laboratory alerted police. The pictures show the travellers posing with Buddha statues and pretending to kiss one of them. Most of Sri Lanka's majority ethnic Sinhalese are Theravada Buddhist. Mistreatment of Buddhist images and artefacts is strictly taboo in the country. The incident is alleged to have taken place at a temple in central Sri Lanka. Police spokesman, Ajith Rohana, told the BBC the French party had visited the laboratory to get pictures printed. The images were impounded after the owner of the photographic laboratory alerted police, but they were later posted on a Sri Lankan website. On Tuesday a magistrate sentenced the trio to six months in prison with hard labour, suspended for five years - which means they will not actually serve any time in jail. The court also levied a small fine on them. They were convicted under a section of the Penal Code which outlaws deeds intended to wound or insult "the religious feelings of any class of persons" through acts committed in, upon or near sacred objects or places of worship. Last month there were reports that five Arabs visiting the island were arrested for distributing "literature insulting to Buddhism". In 2010 two Sri Lankan Muslim traders were given suspended jail sentences for selling keyrings containing an image of Buddha. That same year Sri Lanka denied a visa to the R&B star Akon, who had been due to perform a concert. It happened after public protests over one of his music videos which briefly showed scantily-clad women dancing in front of a Buddha statue. There is currently widespread excitement in Sri Lanka as the Kapilvastu Relics - believed to be bones of Lord Buddha - have been brought to the island from India for a two-week tour of temples. German prosecutors named Anis Amri as the driver in the attack that left 12 dead and 49 injured after discovering his identity papers under the seat in the cab of the lorry. His fingerprints were also later discovered in the cab. He was shot on Friday after he opened fire on Italian police who asked him for ID during a routine patrol in the Sesto San Giovanni area. The Italian authorities said the man killed in the shootout was "without a shadow of a doubt" Amri. Amri, 24, was known to German police and had used a number of identities. He had travelled to Germany from Italy, where he served four years in prison over a fire at a school and refugee reception centre. Ralf Jaeger, interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia state, said the man had been under investigation for planning an attack. He said counter-terrorism officers had exchanged information about him, most recently in November, suspecting him of preparing "a serious act of violence against the state". Security sources in Tunisia say he was born in the city of Tataouine before moving to the city of Kairouan. His brother Walid Amri, speaking outside his home in Ouslatiyah, said that Anis had done odd jobs including farm work when growing up. "He used to get drunk and go around," he said, choking back emotion. "He didn't pray, he grew up like most youngsters here." Walid Amri said that when his brother was in Europe, they would talk via phone and social media. "I would always ask how he was and he would say he was fine and ask about everyone and say that he wanted to come back, but he was saving money so he could come here and buy a car and start a business. "That that was his dream and we assumed he would be coming in January. I last spoke to him 10 days ago before this attack. I said, 'Anis, are we going to see you?' and he said, God willing, he would be back in January. He was laughing and being playful. Nothing seemed wrong." Italian officials said Amri had arrived in Italy in 2011 along with tens of thousands of other young men who fled Tunisia during the Arab Spring revolutions. But in October of that year he was arrested in connection with a fire at a building and later convicted of vandalism, threats and theft. The Italian justice ministry says he displayed bad conduct and was transferred among Sicilian prisons. Prison records indicate he tried to spark insurrections and also bullied other inmates. However, there is no evidence that he was becoming radicalised. Italian sources said that in 2015, at the end of his jail sentence, efforts were made to deport Amri to Tunisia but authorities there said they could not be sure he was Tunisian. Instead, he was released and merely asked to leave the country. His other brother, Abdelkader, told Sky News Arabia that Anis had left prison a changed man. "He went into prison with one mentality and when he came out he had a totally different mentality," he said. "He doesn't represent us or our family." Amri then travelled to Germany where he applied for asylum in April of this year. He was granted temporary leave to remain and was registered at an asylum centre in Emmerich in North Rhine-Westphalia. Emmerich is about 140km (87 miles) north of the city of Cologne, near the border with the Netherlands. However, Mr Jaeger said Amri's asylum request was rejected in the summer by the federal office for migration and refugees. He added: "The man could not be deported because he had no valid identification papers." German officials said Amri's documentation showed he had used six different names under three different nationalities. In Germany, he moved between North Rhine-Westphalia and Berlin. In July this year police investigated him over a knife brawl in the capital, according to Bild newspaper. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung said Amri was arrested in August in the southern town of Friedrichshafen carrying a false Italian identity document but was released shortly afterwards. The newspaper said he moved in the circle of Islamist preacher Ahmad Abdelazziz A, known as Abu Walaa, who was arrested in November. Amri is also said to have shared a home with a man who was arrested at the same time as Abu Walaa. That person, named by the media as Boban S, is accused of recruiting for armed jihad and having links to so-called Islamic State. According to the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Amri is said to have asked a man - who was a police informant in North Rhine-Westphalia - if he could get hold of guns. One investigator quoted by the newspaper said he did not know why Amri should have escaped police notice. The drugs, which have an estimated street value of £1.2m, were discovered at an address in Thatto Heath, St Helens, on Friday along with £500,000. The remaining £30,000 was found in a car outside another property in Huyton. Two men, aged 52 and 56, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs and money laundering, and are being questioned by police. Det Insp Nick Hughes, from the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit, said it was "committed to tackling the blight of drugs on our streets". The coffee chain said its pre-tax profit in the UK fell 61% to £13.4m in the year to 2 October. Starbucks' corporate tax bill also fell from £8.4m to £6.7m. The US firm has faced heavy criticism for the amount of tax it pays in the UK. "Starbucks in the UK has experienced significant economic and geopolitical headwinds this year which affected sales, including slowing economic growth, [the] impact of Brexit and ongoing security security concerns contributing to weakening consumer confidence," Starbucks said. In November, the coffee chain reported record annual profits on a global basis, but that was mainly down to a big rise in sales in the Americas. In the UK, growth in like-for-like sales - which strip out the impact of new stores - slowed to 1%, down from a rate of 3.8% in the previous year. Starbucks said that UK investment and restructuring costs had also affected its profits. Martin Brok, the president of Starbucks in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said: "Whilst there are undoubted challenges presented by a more cautious consumer environment, lower High Street footfall, and adverse currency impacts, we are investing significantly to drive innovation in our food and coffee offering, and are greatly encouraged by our customers' response." The coffee giant had a reduced tax bill after its profits fell. In 2012 Starbucks said it would pay significantly more in tax after a public outcry about its UK corporate tax bill. Before 2012, the company paid just £8.6m in 14 years of trading in the UK, despite sales worth billions of pounds. The 15-year-old, whose family home is in the West Dunbartonshire town, was last seen on Saturday morning. Her body was discovered in a wooded area, just off Great Western Road, at about 12:45 on Monday. Ms Doherty's family said they were "absolutely devastated" after police confirmed she had been murdered. Posting on Facebook, the teenager's mother Pamela Munro wrote: "We are absolutely devastated, as will many people who know her will be xxx." Det Supt Duncan Sloan, of Police Scotland's major investigations unit, confirmed that a murder inquiry was under way during a news conference on Tuesday. He told reporters: "The body of a 15-year-old girl who was found here yesterday, I can now confirm was positively identified as Paige Doherty who was reported missing from Clydebank on Saturday evening. "I want to announce that this is being treated as a murder investigation." The schoolgirl, who was 4ft 8in and slim, with long dark hair, was wearing a dark jacket, jeans and white Nike trainers when she went missing. She was last seen at about 08:15 on Saturday when she left a friend's house in Clydebank and it is thought she was making her way to a bus stop to travel to the hairdressers where she worked in Kirkintilloch, about 12 miles away. The alarm was raised later when she did not show up. Missing posters were put up around the town and a dedicated Facebook page was set up to help find her. Det Supt Sloan said officers were trying to trace Ms Doherty's movements. "I am appealing to members of the public - we need to piece together the movements of Paige from 8.20am on Saturday when she went missing until we find the body at around 1pm on Monday," he said. "Anybody who knows Paige, please come forward with any information around her lifestyle or any reason why you think somebody would have attacked Paige." The detective said this was a "harrowing time" for Ms Doherty's family and said his heart went out to them. He described the teenager as a "warm" girl with a future planned ahead of her and said he was "open to all motives" for the murder. "Paige was a young, friendly girl with plenty of friends and for her life to be taken away so brutally at such a young age is unfathomable to everyone," he added. Laura Mason, chief education officer at West Dunbartonshire Council, also paid tribute to the teenager. She said: "Paige was a bright and popular pupil with a good sense of humour. "Our thoughts are with Paige's family and friends, and we are doing everything we can to support our young people at this sad time." Det Supt Sloan did not reveal what injuries the teenager sustained but said a post-mortem examination would be held on Tuesday afternoon to determine the exact cause of death. He added: "We will do all in our power to investigate this and bring some answers as to the circumstances leading to the death of Paige Doherty." Forensic officers were continuing to work at the site where her body was found. A large area is cordoned off and a police tent remains in place. The big question is whether the party can take advantage of the current vulnerability of Labour in the council elections in May. There are two potential difficulties: one is the close working relationship with Labour at the assembly which could dent Plaid's ability to make gains, and the other is that it is looking to win control of councils in areas in the south Wales valleys which voted to Leave. The party's pro-remain credentials were on display for all to see when, by far, Leanne Wood's biggest cheer in her speech came when she spoke about Wales being open to migrants with the right skills. But as a number of party members told me, all of these factors will play second fiddle to the quality of candidates and the massive melting pot of local issues that will form the backdrop to the council election. And then in the middle of it all came the decision to suspend as a councillor for a month Neil McEvoy, the man who is spearheading Plaid's campaigning in Cardiff. His arrival at the Riverfront theatre to cheers from his supporters confirmed his status as Plaid's top publicity machine. In typically outspoken fashion, he branded the Adjudication Panel for Wales a farce, but the decision poses problems for the party. An official tribunal has upheld a complaint of bullying against him - a subject which Leanne Wood herself has campaigned strongly against. The party's chair Alun Ffred Jones told me the one month suspension is less than he has seen dished out to other councillors on less serious issues than bullying but nevertheless Plaid knows it will come under pressure to take some kind of action after a judgement like this. Compared to the last few conferences, which admittedly took place ahead of general and assembly elections and in the wake of Brexit, this felt a flatter affair, and may just be a reflection of where we are in the political cycle. There was an interesting idea floated to raise a penny on income tax in Wales to help fund health and education, but frankly the next assembly campaign feels like an eternity away when you consider how much is yet to play out on Brexit before then. Some of the more interesting conversations I had this weekend related to the dynamic within Labour, and whether a result like the Copeland by-election signals game-changing opportunities for other parties which did not exist before. My sense is that Plaid knows it may not have a better chance to take lumps out of Labour's support, and as a result working closely with them at the Senedd for an extended period of time may not be in their best interests. The counter view is that Brexit has created an exceptional time in which Plaid is prepared to work in the national interest, and sit round a table with Labour ministers. This debate is continuing. The £1bn elephant in the room is a decision on the M4 relief road if the current public inquiry comes out in favour of the Labour Welsh Government-supported black route. If that happens, it's difficult to see the status quo continuing because of he level of opposition within Plaid. Economic and geographic inequality was a major theme of Leanne Wood's speech. The criticism that too much goes to Cardiff, at the expense of the rest of Wales, had the feel of an old classic that had been dusted down from a shelf for the occasion, although she put the boot into the Cardiff city deal in a way we have not seen before. Officials were keen to stress that this was not gratuitously kicking Cardiff, but making the case for spreading the wealth. And it is undoubtedly good safe territory that will play well on the doorsteps in the council campaign, which is just what Plaid needs at this point in time. The announcement came after Yafai stretched his unbeaten record to 20 fights with a third-round stoppage of Nicaraguan Johnson Tellez on Saturday. Panama's Concepcion defeated Kohei Kono in Tokyo in August to win the belt. The fight will be on the undercard of IBF heavyweight Anthony Joshua's title defence. Yafai told Sky Sports: "Now I have the big fight and Concepcion is a great fighter, a two-weight world champion and it has the recipe to be a great fight." The public transport firm aims to cut costs by £3.1m annually. It plans to make some managers and supervisors redundant and cut overhead and administration costs. Translink said its priority was to protect front-line services. "I am confident this voluntary exit scheme will achieve the management, overhead and administration cost target we have set ourselves to address the significant government funding cuts in the year ahead of £13m, equivalent to 20% of our funding," Translink director Gordon Milligan said. "We are briefing staff internally and we are engaged in discussions with the trade unions Ologu, 26, has come in from West Midlands League Premier Division side Dudley Town on a short-term deal. "He was training with the group coming on after us," said boss Carl Heeley. "As we were packing the kit away after we'd done, we were watching and this one lad stood out by a country mile." The City joint manager told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "We could have said it was the European scouting network that we'd set up, but I don't think anyone would have believed that. The fact is, we've taken a punt on him. "When we pulled him out and had a little word with him, it transpired that he'd played in the Romanian top flight and had come over to England looking for a professional club. It's a strange stroke of luck. We'll just have to see how he copes with the rigours of National League North." "We don't know how we he'll adapt but we've given him a short-term deal. He's got great technique and he works hard but we need to get his fitness up. He played in a friendly at Halesowen, scored a great free-kick and looked very lively, but he unfortunately picked up a little groin strain which has knocked him back a bit." After a poor first half of the season, relegation-threatened City, last season's FA Cup heroes, currently stand 16th in National League North ahead of Tuesday night's home game with fellow strugglers Stalybridge Celtic, when victory would lift them seven points clear of trouble. Back in Romania, Marius Ologu began with his hometown club Universitatea Craiova, for whom he made 17 appearances before leaving in 2011 to join Astra Ploiesti. He has since played for Turnu Severin, Targu Mures, Caransebes and National Sebis, prior to coming to England to sign for Dudley in December. Late last year Ubisoft issued a public apology to gamers for glitches affecting some high-profile titles. The bugs in Assassin's Creed Unity meant some in-game characters appeared without faces. The admission came as the company showed off footage of upcoming titles and unveiled some completely new games. "This has been a very intense year for Ubisoft," said Aisha Tyler, host of the press conference, adding that the company's "passionate players" had given the company a lot of "constructive feedback" on the problems they experienced with some of the company's games. She said the company had taken the comments "very, very seriously" and had fed the "ear-burning NSFW comments" back in to its development process in a bid to learn from what had happened. After acknowledging the criticism, Ubisoft gave demonstrations of game play from several upcoming titles. One of the first was Assassin's Creed Syndicate which is set in London in 1868. A video unveiled at the conference showed a pub brawl between rival gangs and a chase involving horse-drawn carriages. The game is set to be released on 23 October. Also on show was The Division - a post-apocalyptic, open-world survival shooter set in the US after a virus knocks out all central government and law enforcement. It gave a look at one part of The Division's game world called the Dark Zone - a lawless, contested area of New York inhabited by heavily-armed bandits and looters. First announced in 2013, the Division is due to be released on 8 March, 2016. Footage from the counter-terrorist squad-based shooter Rainbow Six Siege was also aired. The game was first mentioned last year but in 2015 attendees will be able to play some of its maps at the Ubisoft stand. Pop star Jason Derulo performed on stage to promote the 2016 version of Just Dance. Ubisoft is also planning to launch a music streaming service for it that regularly introduces new songs to players that subscribe to Just Dance Unlimited. Entirely new titles included For Honor and Ghost Recon Wildlands. For Honor is based around hand-to-hand melee combat between small groups of knights, Vikings and other savage warriors. The brutal and bloody console game pits two teams of four players against each other in short battles. The Ghost Recon reboot is set in a massive open world and puts players in a squad of special forces soldiers who have the job of infiltrating and taking down several drug cartels. Ubisoft also unveiled a new game featuring the unruly children from South Park. The first, called The Stick of Truth, has a fantasy theme but the second outing is a superhero game called The Fractured But Whole. "We might regret it, but we're doing it again," said Trey Parker, co-creator of the South Park cartoon. You can follow all of the BBC's coverage from E3 2015 via the hashtag, #e3bbc No trace of the plane has been recovered in the southern Indian Ocean, after more than two years of searching. MH370 disappeared while flying to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board in 2014. With the search to end soon, Australian officials say it will not be extended. Australia's Transport Minister Darren Chester said the search would be unlikely to go beyond the scheduled end of January or February 2017 as the report does not give a "specific location" for the aircraft. The governments of Australia, Malaysia and China, who are funding the search, had previously agreed that "we will be suspending the search unless credible evidence is available" that identifies the location, he said. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), tasked to coordinate the search, convened a review with a multi-national team of aviation and science experts in November. Its latest report, based on that meeting, said "there is a high degree of confidence that the previously identified underwater area searched to date does not contain the missing aircraft". Search vessels have been looking in a 120,000 sq km (46,332 sq miles) part of the southern Indian Ocean. Experts identified a new area of approximately 25,000 sq km to the north of the current search area that had the "highest probability" of containing the wreckage. "The participants of the First Principles Review were in agreement on the need to search an additional area representing approximately 25,000 km²". This was the last area the plane could possibly be located, given current evidence, the report said. Their conclusion was based on new flight simulations and analysis of satellite communications, as well as drift modelling patterns based on the timing and locations of the discovery of debris. Some debris pieces confirmed to be from MH370 have been found along the African coast and islands in the Indian Ocean by private citizens in recent months. The experts also said the plane was on an "unstable flight path" and that its wing flaps were in a retracted position, in line with earlier findings by the ATSB that the plane made a "rapid and uncontrolled descent". The ATSB said it had presented the recommendation to the Malaysian, Chinese and Australian governments. Only one vessel is left searching for the plane in the current search area. Yussuf scored one and made two more despite only coming off the bench just after the hour mark in a game that came to life with five goals in the last 20 minutes. The frontman broke the deadlock when he scored just seconds after coming off the bench with a cool finish after the ball fell perfectly into his path after Kaby Djalo's shot had been blocked. Yussuf then turned provider seven minutes from time when he ran down the ball on the right-hand byline and pulled it back to tee up James Collins to double the Reds' advantage from 12 yards out. The home side gave themselves hope when they pulled one back two minutes from time when Michael Rose curled a superb free-kick around the Crawley wall from 20 yards out to beat Glenn Morris low to his right-hand side. But the visitors restored their two-goal advantage moments later when Yussuf once again provided the telling pullback to tee up midfielder Jim Smith to stroke the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the Morecambe goal. There was still more to come, however, as Morecambe scored a second two minutes into stoppage time, when Cole Stockton volleyed superbly past Morris from the edge of the area. Kevin Ellison almost snatched a dramatic leveller four minutes into stoppage time but his shot was superbly blocked on the line. Report supplied by the Press Association.

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

City were always the superior side and were desperately unlucky not to break the deadlock early on when Harry Anderson stole possession 25 yards from goal before thundering a first-time effort against the crossbar. But the hosts didn't wait long to open the scoring as a pinpoint corner from Sam Habergham in the 21st-minute was headed home by Raggett from six yards. Chance after chance fell to the Imps after the break as they searched for the killer second - Theo Robinson somehow heading wide from close-range after 55 minutes. But they made no mistake on the hour mark as Nathan Arnold scampered through the middle before slipping in Power, who finished delightfully. The National League North visitors, against the run of play, halved the deficit on 75 minutes when Cyrus rose above a static home defence to nod home a corner but it was too late.

Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan had initially been negotiating a deal which would have seen them acquire more than 75% of the shares. That would effectively have given them complete control, including the power to issue more shares. The new deal will protect the influence of the Swansea City Supporters' Trust, which will retain its 21% stake. Had Levien and Kaplan bought the initial stake of 75%, their ability to issue more shares could have diminished the value of the trust's shares. The trust's Jim White had previously told BBC Wales Sport he and his fellow members were seeking "assurances" from the Americans, as a 75.1% share should have seen them hold sway over other shareholders. Swansea had already confirmed chairman Huw Jenkins and vice-chairman Leigh Dineen would keep their roles in the event of a takeover. At this stage, it is not known how many shares each shareholder will be selling. Levien and Kaplan, who have been in negotiations with Swansea for months, will not comment publicly until a formal agreement has been reached. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the current Premier League season. Officers found the body at a house in St George's Avenue in Yeovil, Somerset, after receiving a tip-off. A 29-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of infanticide has since been released on bail. Officers said the discovery was not connected to the property's current tenant. Avon and Somerset Police said it could not confirm whether the arrested woman was related to the baby. "As our inquiries are continuing, we would ask the public not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding this incident," a spokesman said. "We are continuing to work closely with the family concerned and helping them through this difficult time." Officers said they launched an investigation last week after police were tipped off that a child may be buried there. BG shares were up 242.60p to 1,153p after it agreed to a cash and shares offer from Shell that would value each BG share at about 1,350p. Royal Dutch Shell 'A' shares fell 5.3% while Royal Dutch Shell 'B' shares dropped 8.6%. The FTSE 100 fell 24.36 points to 6,937.41, but energy shares saw gains in the wake of the deal. BP shares rose 0.5%, Ophir Energy climbed 7.4% and Tullow Oil jumped 4.4%. "Already the largest FTSE 100 constituent by a considerable margin, this deal will further consolidate Shell's position in that regard," said Richard Hunter at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers. "There are clear attractions from Shell's viewpoint, including its additional exposure to LNG, almost immediate cost synergies and, in due course, asset sales from a partial break up of BG's operations." Shares in satellite broadcaster Sky rose 1.6% following reports that French media group Vivendi was mulling a possible bid for the firm. The Reuters news agency cited three unnamed sources familiar with the matter as saying a bid for Sky was one of a number of options being looked at to expand Vivendi's TV group Canal Plus. On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.78% against the dollar to $1.4925 and was up 0.76% against the euro to €1.3799. The wooden interior of the new design means installing an internal cauldron could violate Japanese fire codes. The stadium has been hit by delays and controversy over the cost of an earlier design by Zaha Hadid. A cheaper design, by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, was chosen in December last year. The new design will cost 149bn yen ($1.2bn; £825m) to build. Ms Hadid's plan would have cost 252bn yen, making it the world's most expensive sports venue. The International Olympic Committee deadline for completion is January 2020, ahead of the Games' start in July that year. "It appears things were proceeding under the old plans without much discussion [of where to put the cauldron,]" Olympics Minister Toshiaki Endo said. "The lighting of the flame is the main event of the Olympics. As for exactly how it will be done and where the cauldron will be, that will be discussed at a later date," he added. He said that he hoped a solution to the problem would be found before April. Mr Endo will head a panel set up to review the situation of the cauldron. The International Olympic Committee stipulates that the cauldron should be placed so that it is easy to see for spectators. Designers had considered placing the cauldron outside the stadium, but this was met with opposition from Japan's Olympics committee. The Olympic flame is lit in Olympia, Greece, before travelling across the world in a torch relay. The lighting of the Olympic cauldron by the final torchbearer marks the start of the Games. Not making it public would be "misleading", he said. He was aware of a risk of being "misunderstood", given that the FBI does not know the significance of the newly found emails. Mrs Clinton said the FBI's move was "unprecedented" and "deeply troubling". Her Republican rival Donald Trump has praised the bureau's decision. On Friday, just 11 days before the presidential election, Mr Comey wrote to Congress, saying the FBI had learned of fresh emails which may be "pertinent" to its previous inquiry into the Democratic presidential candidate's use of a private server when she was secretary of state. He has been heavily criticised by Clinton supporters - and according to the New York Times, justice department officials - for his decision to make the information public so close to polling day. In the memo, reported by the NYT, Fox News and the Associated Press, he acknowledged that "we do not ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations". But he said he felt an "obligation" to do so given that he had previously testified that the FBI investigation was complete. Addressing cheering supporters at a rally in the key election state of Florida on Saturday, Mrs Clinton said: "It's pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election." Earlier, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said the information provided by Mr Comey was "long on innuendo" and "short on facts", with "no evidence of wrongdoing. No charge of wrongdoing. No indication this is even about Hillary". Mr Podesta said that 24 hours from Mr Comey's revelation, there was no real explanation for why he had decided to send that letter. The more that information had emerged, he said, "the more it seems overblown". The FBI has already established that Mrs Clinton had held classified information on a private email server. In July, Mr Comey said Mrs Clinton's handling of sensitive material during her tenure as secretary of state was "extremely careless", but cleared her of any criminal wrongdoing. The latest emails were discovered as part of a separate investigation into the estranged husband of top Clinton aide, Huma Abedin. Devices belonging to her and Anthony Weiner, a former high-flying congressman, were seized in an investigation into whether he sent sexually explicit emails to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. Mrs Clinton said she was "confident" the investigation into the emails would not change the FBI's original finding in July. "It's imperative that the bureau explain this issue in question, whatever it is, without any delay," she told reporters on the campaign trail in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday. Mr Trump said the move was the "biggest political scandal since Watergate", referring to the 1970s scandal that engulfed then-Republican President Richard Nixon. He said he has "great respect" for the FBI and the justice department, now that they were "willing to have the courage to right the horrible mistake that they made" in ending the investigation earlier. The former secretary of state's private email server was first revealed in March 2015 by the New York Times. She did not immediately express regret, and said the main reason for her "hdr22@clintonemail.com" address was "convenience". Soon after that she apologised in an interview with ABC News, and has since said sorry to voters a number of times. Opinion polls suggest Mrs Clinton is four points ahead of Mr Trump, according to a Real Clear Politics average.

Play our game to make your call Ray Matthews, from Maltby, near Rotherham, completed his challenge in September after starting in July. He raised £29,975 for Rotherham's Newman School, which caters for children with special educational needs and disabilities. Mr Matthews described himself as "just a guy who goes out and runs marathons". He said: "What I've seen since I've been involved with the school is just amazing - all I ever see when I walk in here is joy on the children's faces." The money is to be used to improve the external areas of the school and provide new equipment. Mr Matthews started the challenge shortly after his 75th birthday and described the marathon series as a 75-day "birthday present" to himself. The majority of the routes he tackled were organised by running clubs in South Yorkshire, but he also completed two marathons in Rotherham's twin town of St-Quentin in France. Mr Matthews said his only disappointment was the amount raised "isn't £75,000". Four years ago, at the age of 71, Mr Matthews also ran 150 miles in 36 hours. Macmillan Cancer Support said decisions on care should be made based on a patient's fitness, not their age. It cited data which suggests 130,000 people over 65 diagnosed with cancer between 1991-2010 survived for more than 10 years. NHS England acknowledged that it needed to deliver better services to people in the over-65 age group. Macmillan Cancer Support conducted the research alongside the National Cancer Intelligence Network, found of the 130,000 who had lived with the disease for more than a decade, 8,000 had been diagnosed over the age of 80. Despite that, many patients in the UK are being assessed on age alone, Macmillan said, adding that cancer survival rates in the age group are "poor". A paper published in the Lancet, looking at five-year survival rates for common cancers - including prostate, breast, lung, stomach, ovary and kidney cancers - between 1999 and 2007 showed the UK and Ireland had a lower five-year survival rate than the rest of Europe. "It's wrong to write off older people as too old for treatment," said Macmillan Cancer Support's chief executive Ciaran Devane. "With a proper assessment and appropriate treatment, our research shows that many older cancer patients can live for a long time and can even be cured. "While it's good news that so many older people are benefiting from treatment, many thousands more could live longer if our survival rates for over-65s matched those in comparable countries." He said barriers to treatment, which include "age discrimination and inadequate assessment methods", must be addressed. NHS England's national clinical director for cancer, Sean Duffy, said that with an ageing population, the study had come at an important moment in time. But he added: "We need to deliver better services for people over 65 and 75 because we know there's an issue and interventions need to be designed to that end." He said treatment for cancer can be complex "and should be based on what is right for each individual patient." Dr Mark Porter of the British Medical Association said it should be a "key part" of the medical profession to ensure older patients are "treated with the care and respect they deserve".

In a BBC interview, Tim Roache urged Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to do more to make the case for EU membership. It comes ahead of a speech by Mr Corbyn in which he will say workers' rights are best protected by being in the EU. But Vote Leave chairwoman and Labour MP Gisela Stuart has said workers' rights were "hard won" in the UK, not Europe. In other developments: There are just weeks to go until the UK decides on its future in the European Union, in the in-out referendum on 23 June. The Remain campaign believes that securing the support of Labour voters will be vital to winning the referendum. How working conditions and pay rates are affected by EU membership. But there are anxieties within the Remain camp that Labour voters might not turn out to vote, when the levels of turnout could be decisive. In an interview with BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Mr Roache said his "biggest concern" was that Labour voters would "stay at home" on 23 June. "I think they won't see it as the absolutely crucial vote that it is and I also think that they see it as a bunfight in the Tory party," he said. Asked whether he thought Labour was doing enough to get its pro-Remain message across, he said it "is starting to do more". But he argued that a bigger push was needed, warning: "The reality is that the more people that stay at home the more likely it is that we will leave the EU. I don't think we can even begin to contemplate that." By Laura Kuenssberg, BBC political editor It's rare these days - especially as the referendum debate rages with both sides to varying degrees struggling to tell the public the truth, the whole truth, and absolutely nothing but the truth - that political figures are willing to say exactly what they think in public. But the union movement, in the recently elected boss of the GMB, Tim Roache, might just have found themselves someone who might. He's worked for the union for decades, starting as a teenager in the post room. But after years of working his way up, now he's in charge, Roache is clearly determined to change things. And in an interview with me for Radio 4's World at One programme, he didn't hold back. Read more from Laura On Jeremy Corbyn - who has been urged to make a bolder case for staying in the UK - Mr Roache said he viewed the Labour leader as "a half-hearted Remain" but urged the party to get behind him and campaign vigorously to stay in the EU. "I think he probably could do a bit more, let's hope he will," he said. The union leader's call for action comes as the Labour leader prepares to make a speech warning about the impact on workers' rights if the UK left the EU. Speaking at the Institute of Engineering Technology on Thursday, Mr Corbyn - who has been a long-standing critic of the EU and who is regarded as the most Eurosceptic Labour leader in years - will say British workers benefit from a host of rights and protections because of EU legislation. He will say the European social chapter and other EU directives have secured: "It's important to understand the benefit of these gains," he will say. "It means workers throughout Europe have decent rights at work, meaning it's harder to undercut terms and conditions across Europe." The Labour leader will accuse Tory Leave supporters of wanting to "rip up" workers' protections and say it is the Conservative government that is the real "threat" to Britain - not the EU. "Everything they have done as a government so far means we could not rely on them to protect the workplace rights that millions rely on. "A Tory Brexit negotiation would be a disaster for the majority of people in Britain," he will add. But Leave campaigners, including Vote Leave's Ms Stuart, say the EU has been "a disaster" for workers, pointing out that unemployment levels across the eurozone are "in the double digits". The Labour MP has also dismissed Remain's argument that workers' rights have been secured by Europe. "Workers' rights are not something that have been gifted to us by the EU, they have been hard won here at home and should be protected by a Parliament that is properly accountable to voters in the UK." She has said the only way to "take back control of our economy, our democracy" is to leave the EU. Both on and off the record, sensible, reliable party stalwarts seem remarkably sure that Hillary Clinton will win in November, and possibly win big. Here's their case. The argument in favour of Donald Trump, as Democrats recognise, is that the gravitational force of this election is a desire for change. In this atmosphere, Mrs Clinton suffers from being the ultimate establishment figure. But Democrats believe that the forces in Clinton's favour are significantly stronger. First, she has demographics tilting her way. The sectors of the American population that are growing - non-white people - tend to vote Democrat. The sector that is shrinking - white men - tend to vote Republican. I heard a lot this week about the natural Democratic coalition. So far there's little indication that Mr Trump has been able to make much inroads into non-white voting groups. Second, she is much better organised than Donald Trump. The Democratic convention was a show case of strong speakers, excellent stage craft and word perfect messaging. And the convention reflects the campaign more broadly. Mrs Clinton has more money, more staff and a better turn-out operation than her opponent. He barely has a campaign structure to speak of. As one election veteran put it, it's really hard to get elected president and you need a first-class machine to even have a hope. That message could be particularly true this year. Judging by the way they are talking, both campaigns appear to have decided that there is not much crossover in the groups they appeal to. There aren't very many people left to persuade. In which case the best chance of winning is to make sure their supporters actually turn out - and one of the best ways to do that is to instil in them the fear of God about the other candidate. Expect to hear a lot this campaign about how lying Hillary will allow so-called Islamic State to take over America, and how Trump with the nuclear codes is a terrifying prospect. Having thoroughly scared their bases, the parties then need to get them to the polls. That's where Democrats think that this election their superior operation will give them a big advantage. Third, luck helps in politics. People on the Clinton campaign believe Trump is simply unelectable. David Plouffe, the man responsible for Obama's victory in 2012, has said that in this cycle, Trump is the candidate he dreamed about running against. And they believe that the more Mr Trump appears to upend Nato or cosy up to Russia, the more unelectable he makes himself. It was no coincidence that on Thursday night a string of veterans and generals took the stage in Philadelphia. It was a hawkish display of US global intervention, complete with chants of "USA! USA!" that sometimes felt more like a Republican convention than a Democratic one. On the issue of national security, the Clinton campaign has set up tent in what is traditionally Republican territory. I wouldn't be surprised if General Colin Powell doesn't come out soon and endorse Hillary Clinton. All this gives Democrats an air of quiet, but unmistakable confidence about their chances in November. But there are hurdles they may be underestimating. So far Mr Trump has rewritten conventional political rules and made issues like organisation and demographics seem less significant. He may continue to do so between now and November. It is hard to tell just how strong that desire for change is. Is it a tidal wave that means no one with a long political background could get elected - especially no one who is as much a part of the traditional establishment as Hillary? The US is not the UK, but Brexit showed that the promise of change can be a powerful force these days. Few people in the British establishment thought Britain would really vote to leave the EU. Even in the Leave campaign didn't really think it would happen. Democrats, by the way, think that now the conventions are over, people will shift from the angry protest mode to a sober decision mode. Polls over the next few weeks should tell us if that's the case. The Clinton campaign elite that partied at the convention tends to live and operate in the rarefied world of the east and west coasts of the US. They don't spend a lot of time in the small towns of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia that will decide this election. These are towns where a lot of people hate Hillary Clinton, really, really hate her. They may be underestimating the strength of that antipathy. The Democrats are confident, they'd do well not to get cocky. Glastonbury computer programmer Ian Brooks has been out of work for several years with his disability. His story went viral on social media in February after he claimed a firm had cancelled his job interview because it could not accommodate his dog. However, a technology firm saw his story online and has offered him a job. London-based Conspexit develops apps for blind and partially-sighted people. Mr Brooks said: "It still doesn't feel real. I'd just like to thank everyone out there who has been on my side." He starts his new role at the beginning of July, and will be working remotely from home. Mr Brooks said he was never told the name of the company who offered and then withdrew the interview in February. Recruitment firm Vector Resourcing was acting for the employer and has not responded to the BBC with a comment. The 41-year-old was attacked in Sunderland's Mowbray Park on Wednesday between 01:00 BST and 02:00 BST. Northumbria Police said officers were trying to trace a man who was with the victim beforehand. He is described as 5ft 8ins tall, of medium build with short, dark receding hair. He was wearing a Miami skyline printed T-shirt, dark jeans and trainers. He had a tattoo on his left forearm and upper arm. Despite winning their previous two league games a point against Barrow ended the Harriers' 11-year stay in the top tier of the non-league football. Barrow's Ben Tomlinson had the best chance of scoring at Aggborough when his close-range effort hit the post. Kidderminster managed four shots on target but failed to really test Barrow keeper Joel Dixon. Clark joined English League One Bury on Wednesday and the Killie board has since placed McCulloch in charge of the first team until the end of the season. "He said 'go and grab your opportunity, you're good enough'," McCulloch, 38, told BBC Scotland. "He's said some very nice things about me and told the board I should get the job, but we shall see." McCulloch plans to meet the board in the next few days to discuss a permanent appointment. However, he insists no decision will be made until after Sunday's league game at home to Aberdeen. "Everything has happened so quickly so I've not had a chance to talk with the board," he said. "It's a great club with a great stadium and catchment area. The youth academy policy is brilliant. The positives outweigh the negatives at this club by a country mile. "When players come to the latter part of their career, they think I want get into coaching and because they've worked with a variety of managers they think I want to be a manager. "It doesn't scare me but I need to think about it. "I don't think you'll ever know if you are ready. I've been doing it for a year and a half. I've got all of my coaching badges. I've done a media course. I've been abroad to see how managers there work and I want to get better every day. "People will say I'm ready but the proof of the pudding is always in the eating." The former Scotland midfielder, who will be assisted by Peter Leven, was in temporary charge of Kilmarnock a year ago when Gary Locke resigned, only to make way for Clark. Kilmarnock director John Kiltie told BBC Scotland on Wednesday that he felt McCulloch "had done very well in the role" in that spell and so had "no reason to doubt his ability to take us forward until the end of the season". "Perhaps Lee might be interested in taking the job on a full-time basis should he be given the opportunity and should he in fact apply for the job," said Kiltie. The British number one's astonishing performances over the past 12 months have seen her go from unheralded wildcard to the plush surroundings of Wimbledon's top-16 locker room, reserved for the game's elite. "The showers are the same size; the towels look the same," Konta joked after her first visit 'upstairs' last week. "I think after that initial excitement - 'oh, it's something new' - then you start thinking about things that are more important." That magical ability to block out the peripheral and concentrate purely on the next point, the next ball, is something Konta has managed to acquire over the past 18 months. It is all the more remarkable for a player who, in the words of Judy Murray, suffered "really bad performance anxiety" as recently as last year. The changes behind this new-found calm have been well documented - a cut in LTA funding that saw Konta relocate her training to Spain; working with London-based mental coach Juan Coto; travelling on tour with her boyfriend. Media playback is not supported on this device Even so, her transformation from a player who looked unlikely to trouble the top 100 to a Grand Slam contender has surprised everyone. "What's happened in the last 12 months and what she's achieved, I would never have called that," said former British number one Anne Keothavong. "She used to be someone who would fret a lot, whether it was on the practice court, on the match court. If things weren't perfect it used to really get to her. "She is naturally highly strung - she'll admit that herself - but you can't always be perfect. "With the work she's done with Juan Coto away from the tennis court on the mental side, she's so much stronger now in the head than she ever used to be." Konta was amused how often Coto was referenced by the media during her stunning run to the fourth round of the US Open last year, but his influence appears to have been huge. Whether it is face-to-face, via Skype or WhatsApp, the pair "check in", according to Konta, on a very regular basis, wherever they might be in the world. Her poise in seeing off, among others, the likes of then world number two Simona Halep, seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams and current world number two Garbine Muguruza over the past year has been that of a big-time player. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Renowned as professional and hard-working from her teenage years, Konta has also benefited from working with Spanish coaches Esteban Carril and Jose-Manuel Garcia at their base in Gijon since late 2014. "She's always carried herself like a top player - super disciplined, so meticulous," said another former British number one, Sam Smith. "Training in Spain has been great for her, there's been lots of technical work on the forehand, but her application has been of someone who has top-10 potential, she is that disciplined and that hard-working." Konta's backhand is the bedrock of her game but the forehand used to suffer badly when the mental demons took hold. Carrying such a weakness is all but impossible at the top of the game, and Konta appears to have achieved something few players manage well into their twenties. "I thought her forehand was always going to hold her back," added Smith. "And the fact that she just got very uptight and nervous. "What she's done over the last 12 months is conquer that, and her forehand is unrecognisable from what it was a couple of years ago." 'Results and rankings, they come and go' When Victoria Azarenka withdrew from Wimbledon last week, it nudged Konta up from 17th to 16th in the seedings, another landmark in an incredible year. This is a player who ended 2012 ranked 153rd in the world, and two years later had risen only three places to 150 heading into 2015 - yet in the past 12 months she has gone from 147th to 19th in the world rankings. There was that run to the last 16 in New York last August, becoming British number one in September, becoming the first British woman to reach a Grand Slam semi-final for 33 years in January. Only last week, she made her first semi-final on the WTA Tour in Eastbourne. It would be understandable if Konta were to feel a little light-headed at her breathtaking ascent. "On paper my ranking is definitely in a different place," Konta told BBC Sport. "I am much higher ranked than I was this time last year, but in reality I'm very much the same person with the same goals and the same work ethic. I'd like to think that I continuously get stronger, fitter, faster." "It's just important to understand that results and rankings, they come and go. "Sports can be quite fickle in that way and it's important to have your self-respect and self-confidence from things you have control over. "If you live and die with your losses then it can be very much like a rollercoaster, so I try to keep it as level as possible."

Malcolm Arnott ordered a new kitchen as a birthday present for his wife Carolyn for their home in Clanfield, Hampshire. He paid more than £13,000 to a local tradesman who then disappeared, leaving the house uninhabitable. Builder Ernie Etah has since carried out the work after hearing their story on BBC Radio Solent in November. Mr Arnott, 70, lives in a nursing home after being paralysed by cancer of the spine. His 60-year-old wife, who has heart problems, still lives in the couple's home. Mr Etah, of Epic Construction in Portsmouth, said he had suffered temporary paralysis after a serious accident, which is why he wanted to help. The man who Mr Arnott paid to carry out the work only did part of the job before becoming uncontactable. He has never returned to complete the job. On his arrival at the couple's home Mr Etah said the situation was "atrocious", with holes left in walls and poor electrics. "It was a fire hazard there - very unsafe, uninhabitable," he said. "In the bathroom there was a massive hole that you could actually near enough see the footings in - we expected rats to start coming in there." Mr Arnott described Mr Etah's actions as "epic". "It's more than you can dream of - far, far more than I expected," Mr Arnott said. "In this day and age, when it's dog eat dog, to find a company like this is just amazing." These services cover weekends and from 18:30 to 08:00 on weekdays. The research, by Exeter Medical School, used data from the official GP patient survey in England to score the three types of providers out of 100. On speed, confidence and overall experience, scores from patients seen by commercial providers were lower. The score out of 100 for overall experience was: Similar results had been found for the other two measures, the study in the British Medical Journal said. Prof John Campbell, who led the research, which involved more than 80,000 patients, said the results were "statistically significant". "The overall trend is that patients report less positive experiences with commercial, and we now need to understand why," he said. But he said the research did show that the very best individual scores by providers were seen in the commercial sector. Scottish Chambers of Commerce's (SCC) quarterly survey found the economy has returned to pre-recession levels but warned Scotland needs to "up its game". Employment growth was also weaker than at the end of 2014. SCC chief executive Liz Cameron said: "Other economies have moved on and we need to catch up and overtake them." She added: "Our first economic indicator covering 2015 depicts an economy that has returned to pre-recession levels and is now on a path of slower growth. "However, it is not enough to get back to where we were - that wasn't good enough then and it isn't good enough now. Scotland needs to up our game and our targets." The business survey, carried out in conjunction with the Fraser of Allander Institute of Strathclyde University, suggested growth levels across most sectors slowed considerably compared with the final quarter of last year, but most indicators still remained above pre-recession levels and long-term averages. The construction and tourism sectors indicated a decline in sales and profits. The financial and business services, manufacturing and retail and wholesale firms all experienced slow growth. Productivity and spending on investment increased in every sector, according to the survey of nearly 650 firms. The Irish FA requested permission from Fifa for Northern Ireland to wear a poppy on the shirt or armband. However, Fifa could not guarantee that there would not be disciplinary proceedings if a poppy was displayed. England and Scotland will defy Fifa's ban on players wearing poppies in their meeting on Friday. Fifa has also opened disciplinary proceedings over the Republic of Ireland's use of a logo to commemorate the 1916 Easter Rising. There will be a minute's silence before kick-off at Windsor Park on Friday while names of players connected with the association who died during the First World War will be shown on the big screen. Commemorative events also include a card display featuring a poppy in the West Stand and a wreath will be laid in memory of the fallen. IFA chief executive Patrick Nelson said it wants clarification over the Fifa law relating to displaying poppies. "The Irish FA is committed to marking Armistice Day with appropriate acts of remembrance," said IFA chief executive Patrick Nelson. "We asked Fifa if permission could be granted for the Northern Ireland team to wear a poppy on the shirt or on an armband. "Based on law 4.4 of the laws of the game 2016/17, Fifa advised that they could give no guarantee that there would not be disciplinary proceedings if the Northern Ireland team was to wear a symbol of remembrance on the playing shirt. "As a member of IFAB, we have placed clarification of law 4.4 on the agenda for the next annual general meeting of the International Football Association Board which will be held in London in March." The Academy of Medical Sciences says personalised medicines tailored to the individual present a "great opportunity" to protect health. It says this is the way public health should go. But critics say the emphasis in preventing illness must be on lifestyle. The Academy says scientific advances mean in future there will be more opportunities to intervene with treatment before there are any symptoms. It argues developments in genetics present a great opportunity to develop highly effective targeted therapies, with a clear idea of who will benefit and who will not. That could include drugs to prevent rather than treat disease. The Academy's new president, Prof Sir Robert Lechler, says the NHS should prepare for this. "I think it's unarguable that prevention is better than cure, and if you wait until the patient presents with signs or symptoms of kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, very often most of the damage is done and can't actually be recovered. "So if it were possible to take steps while still in health to prevent or delay the onset of disease that seems to make very good sense." Sir Robert says he does not just envisage drug interventions for pre-emptive treatment - but his comments have raised renewed concerns about people being "over-medicated". This issue has already provoked fierce debate over the use of statins for people at low risk of heart attack and stroke. Professor Carl Heneghan from the Oxford University Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, says the focus with disease prevention should be on issues such as physical activity, smoking and diet. "What we have to do is look at clear lifestyle risk factors. The future of healthcare is a healthier lifestyle. Only in certain diseases such as cancer will we find personalised treatments are effective." A prominent London cardiologist, Dr Aseem Malhotra, says over-medication is a major problem. "The fact that prescription drugs are the third most common cause of death after heart disease and cancer should make policy makers wake up. "Having a real impact on reducing demand and improving quality of care in the NHS will only happen when the root cause of lifestyle-driven disease is tackled head on and through de-prescribing; that is reducing an increasingly over medicated population." Sir Robert Lechler argues as long as patients are given the best possible evidence, they should be given a choice. He says he welcomes a public debate on this issue. The academy is also calling for closer collaboration between the NHS, academia and the pharmaceutical industry in finding new drugs. It says the current model of development is ineffective. Some critics, though, feel industry already has too much power and influence in the way drugs are researched, developed and promoted. Prof Heneghan says the public needs better protection. "There are too many people with conflicts of interests taking decisions about policy and the way forward. "What we need is an independent organisation, something like the Bank of England, that makes key decisions, in the public's interest, about how best to prevent disease and advise the public at large." With this is mind, he will surely be asking himself whether the vast organisation he is now leading needs to chart a different course. The UN spends close to $8bn (£6.5bn) every year on peacekeeping around the world, with the bulk going to missions in Africa. A new report by the Geneva-based research group Small Arms Survey has accused the UN's mission in South Sudan (Unmiss) of lacking neutrality by giving arms to rebels in the town of Bentiu in 2013. It blames Unmiss for underreporting arms confiscated from fleeing soldiers and handing over the weapons to soldiers of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO) on more than one occasion. The report also claims that shortly after this transfer of arms, the rebels went on to carry out a massacre of civilians. The operations of the UN's mission in South Sudan came into sharp focus after embarrassing revelations that its troops failed to protect civilians following clashes between government forces and former rebels in July 2016. A damning internal investigation found that its peacekeeping mission in the capital, Juba had failed to achieve one of its core mandates, namely "to protect civilians under threat of physical violence […] with specific protection for women and children". It described the troops' response as chaotic and ineffective. Eyewitnesses said women and girls were raped near UN compounds with no action from peacekeepers. Not far away, foreign aid workers suffered similar sexual violence at their residence. Their case gained much international condemnation, but it is dwarfed by the scale of the atrocities South Sudanese civilians have long experienced. In a recent report to the Security Council, the outgoing Secretary General Ban Ki-moon offered little hope. "There is a very real risk of mass atrocities being committed in South Sudan," he said. "[...] The secretariat will continue to make every effort to implement the mandated task of protecting civilians through the use of 'all necessary means'. "[But] it must be clearly understood that United Nations peacekeeping operations do not have the appropriate reach, manpower or capabilities to stop mass atrocities," his statement said. In February, gunmen killed 30 internally displaced people and wounded more than 120 others within one of the UN's designated Protection of Civilian compounds in the north-western South Sudanese town of Malakal. The irony of the facility failing to live up to its name was not lost on the mission's critics. The UN later accepted responsibility for its failure to prevent the bloodbath. In the Central African Republic (CAR), the UN mission (Minusca) has also been accused of inaction when, for example, more than 75 people including civilians were killed in the north during an outbreak of violence in September 2016. The rights group, Amnesty International, reflected on this case, saying Minusca was poorly trained and "lacks the resources it needs to adequately protect civilians." Jean-Serge Bokassa, the Interior Minister of CAR, accused the peacekeepers of colluding with armed militias. "What is the role of the Pakistani contingent in Kaga-Bandoro?" he asked. "Their collusion with armed groups has gone too long." A week later, four people died in the capital Bangui during anti-UN protests. In the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, similar disdain for the UN and its peacekeeping mission Monusco (which replaced the dysfunctional Monuc), has led to violent demonstrations and attacks by civilians in the past. Most of the anti-UN protests have taken place in the eastern region of Kivu, where armed groups continue to commit massacres, especially in the Beni region. Peacekeepers have often been referred to as tourists because they are associated with helicopters and 4x4 vehicles. Charles Bambara, the spokesman for Monusco, says the task of the mission is so enormous that it's easy to underestimate progress being made. "This country was divided into three: one armed group was controlling Goma area, another one controlling Kisangani and another one controlling the capital city and the west of the country," he says. "So the aim when this mission was established was to reunite the country. This has now been done, with the support of the DRC armed forces. We need the support of the international community. "This is a very difficult mission. There are probably 40 or 50 armed groups present in this country, which is as big as Western Europe, so we cannot be everywhere and that's why we're targeting these groups one after the other." One notorious and repeated blight on the UN peacekeeping scorecard has been that of the discipline - or the lack of it - of troops. A UN inquiry has named 41 peacekeepers in relation to alleged sexual abuse and exploitation in the Central African Republic between 2014 and 2015. Women and even minors were reportedly abused in exchange for food and clothing. The UN has taken very little action against the individual soldiers. Prosecutors in Paris said this week that charges would not be brought against six French peacekeepers following a criminal investigation into similar allegations. Each country is responsible for charging its implicated troops but guilty verdicts might not be in a nation's best interests as that would taint its reputation in peacekeeping - although these track records are not officially considered when selecting which countries contribute to the missions. The UN undersecretary for peacekeeping operations, Herve Ladsous, recently denied there was a crisis in UN peacekeeping. "Some operations are working very well. For instance, we are a few months away from an end to the operations in Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia. Their success enables us to withdraw," he said. "However, some operations are working less well, frequently because of factors linked to the local political situation and local players, rather than to the shortcomings of our operations themselves." For effective peacekeeping, a former commander of a past UN mission, who asked not to be named, suggests: The ex-UN insider says there needs to be more effort placed on ensuring urgency in political processes. Otherwise, local armed groups will begin to threaten the rule of law when they discover that the UN troops only bark without biting, he says. But analysts say the list of shortcomings of the UN operations might not necessarily mean that peacekeeping, as a concept, is a failure. "It has to be better thought, better planned and better implemented and made more fit for purpose," says Gustavo de Carvalho, a senior researcher at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS Africa). "If you are clearer in your mandate and how you engage with the local population, it becomes a far more honest interaction between foreign and local actors." Mr de Carvalho proposes the following steps towards maintaining or winning back the confidence of local populations: In the end, he says, putting boots on the ground is only one way to staunch the wounds of conflict. "Peacekeeping is a short-term tool so we need to think of how to link this to long-term peace-building process." The decision was taken after experts reviewed the airport's security, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said. Officials are working with airlines on special flights to bring UK tourists at the resort home as soon as possible. Russian Airbus 321 crashed on Saturday, killing all 224 people on board. The Metrojet flight bound for St Petersburg from Sharm el-Sheikh came down in Egypt's Sinai desert. Mr Hammond said: "We have concluded there was a significant possibility that that crash was caused by an explosive device on board the aircraft." The US also said initial intelligence suggested the plane was brought down by a bomb. The UK government was "very reluctantly" advising against all but essential travel through Sharm el-Sheikh airport, Mr Hammond said. However, Mr Hammond stressed the Foreign Office was not changing the travel advice with regard to the Sharm el-Sheikh resort itself, which it views as safe. There are currently about 20,000 British nationals in Sharm el-Sheikh, of which the Association of British Travel Agents estimates at least 9,000 are holidaymakers. Officials were working with airlines and Egyptian authorities to put in place "emergency procedures" for additional screening and security to be put in place to allow British holidaymakers to fly home safely, Mr Hammond added. BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said he understood the British government's aim was to ensure flights could start leaving Sharm el-Sheikh for the UK as soon as possible - perhaps as early as Friday. UK officials at the airport will act as extra security and effectively sign off planes as safe to travel, he said. Egypt's foreign minister, Sameh Shoukry, earlier said he was very disappointed by the decision to suspend flights, accusing the UK government of making "a premature and unwarranted statement" on the crash. Egypt's President Sisi is currently in the UK and is due to meet Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday. By Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent Almost from the moment it was confirmed that Metrojet Flight 9268 had crashed into the Sinai desert, British counter-terrorism officials have been looking at what could have brought it down and what the implications were for the safety of Britons abroad. The analysis has brought together aviation and anti-terrorism experts. The Egyptian authorities were quick to dismiss claims by so-called Islamic State that they brought the plane down. However, British officials now say "new intelligence" has come to light pointing increasingly towards the possibility of terrorism. They have not revealed what that new intelligence is, or where it came from. But the government says it cannot take a risk with the safety of so many Britons flying to and from such a popular resort. What we know about crash Four theories on Sinai plane crash Their findings were considered in a one-hour meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee on Wednesday evening, chaired by Mr Cameron, ahead of Mr Hammond's statement. Mr Hammond apologised for the "immense disruption and inconvenience" caused by the decision. "I also recognise the immense impact that this will have on the Egyptian economy," he added. "But we have to put the safety and security of British nationals above all other considerations." Extra consular staff have been deployed to the airport, Downing Street earlier said. A number of travel operators have responded to the government's announcement: British holidaymaker Craig Peacock, who has been in Egypt for nine days, said finding out he may not be able to return home is "not the greatest news". But, he said, postponing flights was "the right thing", adding: "We don't want a repeat of what happened last week". However, Helen Collins, on holiday in Luxor, said the government had made a "bad decision". "I think that nowadays, this could happen anywhere in the world, and I feel really sorry for the Egyptians because I know that they have had a real drop in the number of tourists that are coming to Egypt." It said a commission would review operational matters relating to the Rangers V Hibernian game on Saturday. There were violent clashes at Hampden Park when thousands spilled onto the pitch at the final whistle. Hibs said they would co-operate with the inquiry, adding they were "sorry" for the pitch invasion by their fans. Rangers said their players and backroom staff were injured in scuffles following their 3-2 defeat to Hibernian. In a statement released on Sunday, the Glasgow side criticised the response of the the SFA, Hibernian, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and the BBC to the incident. Stewart Regan, the Scottish FA chief executive, said the commission's findings would be published in full. He also urged calm while the commission carried out its work. Mr Regan's statement read: "I would urge all parties involved in the ongoing situation to demonstrate calmness, clarity of thought and responsibility as we proceed towards a satisfactory conclusion." Police Scotland said a dedicated incident room had been set up to co-ordinate the criminal investigation and 11 arrests had been made so far. Assistant Chief Constable Mark Williams said: "Although we've made 11 arrests so far, I fully expect more to be made in the coming days as we sift through evidence from CCTV and other video footage and photographic images. "Public safety is our number one priority and the pitch incursion was unacceptable and jeopardised that.Our response was immediate, measured, proportionate and professional. "In a short period of time, we deployed mounted officers, public order and conventional officers to separate the opposing supporters. "It's important to take time and reflect on Saturday's match and we will now work with G4S, Scottish FA, Hampden Park PLC, both clubs and of course with our staff to review the full circumstances of the game. "If there's lessons to be learned then we will do that together with other partners so we can ensure that scenes like those witnessed on Saturday don't happen again." Hibs said it would do "everything in its power to bring to book" supporters involved in allegations of assault - including against Rangers players and staff. Any supporters involved in criminal or unacceptable behaviour would face the strongest possible sanctions, it added. Chairman Rod Petrie said: "It is now clear from various sources that supporters being on the pitch at the end of the match led to acts of violence and disorder. "I condemn and the club condemns all of the violence and unacceptable conduct perpetrated on the pitch and elsewhere and in the margins of the match at Hampden. There is absolutely no place for it in the game of football. "Hibernian will do all that it can to support the criminal investigations to ensure that those who have transgressed face the consequences of their actions." Stewart Regan said the independent commission into the disorder would look at "process and protocols" undertaken in the staging of the match. The football chief added: "I have also instructed the compilation of a comprehensive report from all our internal group functions at Hampden Park to establish a full picture of the events of the weekend. "The contents of this report will be made available to the commission. "I am keen that the Scottish FA is proactive in the investigations with the police authorities and the independent commission." He also confirmed that the organisation's football compliance officer had also begun investigating potential rule breaches "from a football regulatory perspective". And Mr Regan said that, as the cup final was the subject of a criminal investigation, any information gleaned by the Scottish FA would be shared with Police Scotland. 16:51:48 - Final Whistle 16:51:58 - Pitch invasion begins 16:53:25 - Fans smash goalpost 16:54:54 - Rival fans clash 16:55:38 - Police horses on pitch 16:57:00 - Police line established The report is part of a broader EU investigation into tax policies in Ireland, Netherlands and Luxembourg. The Commission is examining whether these countries have unfairly favoured multinational companies including Apple, Fiat and Starbucks. The EU will make its case that Apple's tax arrangements with Dublin amount to illegal state aid. On Tuesday, the Commission will also outline its reasons for launching an investigation into Fiat Finance and Trade, which is resident for tax purposes in Luxembourg. The Commission will argue that backroom tax deals it believes were struck between Apple and the Irish government and Fiat and the Luxembourg government could constitute a breach of EU regulations on state aid. "Ireland is confident that there is no breach of state aid rules in this case and has already issued a formal response to the Commission earlier this month, addressing in detail the concerns and some misunderstandings contained in the opening decision," Ireland's Department of Finance said. Ireland's corporate tax rate is set at 12.5%, but Apple enjoys an effective rate of tax of 2%, due to the way it channels overseas sales through its subsidiaries. Ireland's flexible approach to tax is designed to attract investment and jobs to the country. But other European countries say their treasuries lose out, as corporations funnel profits through Irish registered companies that are not resident for tax anywhere. Apple has denied that the company agreed any special tax arrangements with Dublin. "There's never been anything that would be construed as state aid," Apple's chief financial officer, Luca Maestri, told the Financial Times newspaper. Apple says it pays all the tax it owes. Under EU law, state financing for individual companies is heavily restricted. However, previously, tax arrangements have not been considered. In June, when the Commission announced it would be conducting in-depth investigations into Fiat's tax affairs in Luxembourg, Starbucks' in the Netherlands and Apple's in Ireland, Joaquin Almunia, vice-president for competition policy, said state aid rules should be applied to taxation. "Under the EU's state aid rules, national authorities cannot take measures allowing certain companies to pay less tax than they should if the tax rules of the member state were applied in a fair and non-discriminatory way," he said. When the inquiry was first announced in June, Apple said: "We have received no selective treatment from Irish officials. "Apple is subject to the same tax laws as scores of other international companies doing business in Ireland." Commission spokesman Antoine Columbani confirmed that the outline of the case against Ireland's tax policy towards Apple would be made public on Tuesday. "The decision will set out the Commission's reasons for opening an in-depth investigation," he said. Following publication in the Commission's Official Journal in a few weeks' time, interested parties will have one month to submit responses. Once the Commission has reached a judgement the EU has the right to recover illegally granted state aid from the company in question. This could amount to billions of euros if Apple is found to have received benefits it was not entitled to. The EU's move comes as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development begins a broader crackdown on aggressive tax avoidance by multinational companies. Anne, who wrote Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, died in Scarborough in 1849 after succumbing to tuberculosis at the age of 29. But her headstone in St Mary's Churchyard gave her age as 28. A new plaque on her grave has been officially unveiled during a service of dedication. Anne is the only member of the famous literary family who is not buried at their home in Haworth, West Yorkshire. She travelled to Scarborough because she loved the resort and hoped that the air may improve her condition. But she died just three days after arriving. Her death came during a bleak period for the Bronte family. Brother Branwell had died eight months earlier, followed by Emily, who had written Wuthering Heights. Anne's original gravestone was refaced three years after her death, when Charlotte returned to discover five errors on it. The other mistakes were corrected but the age was not. The Bronte Society has installed the new plaque alongside the original, which has deteriorated over the years. "Anne was the quietest Bronte and can still sometimes be overlooked in favour of her sisters Charlotte and Emily," said the society's Sally McDonald. "In some ways, though, she is now viewed as the most radical of the sisters, writing about tough subjects such as women's need to maintain independence, and how alcoholism can tear a family apart. "It is a pleasure to honour her in this modest way... in the coastal town she loved so much." Often left alone together in their isolated Haworth home, Charlotte, Emily and Anne began to write stories at an early age Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are now hailed as British classics, while The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was a huge bestseller. Charlotte continued to write after her siblings' deaths and later married, only to die herself in March 1855. Down detector, a website that monitors internet failures, reported thousands of cases including parts of Scotland, London, Birmingham and Sheffield. It began trending on social media with customers reporting issues. BT confirmed that there had been problems but said most were fixed. It said there was no evidence of a hack attack. "Large numbers of customers have been experiencing temporary issues with their broadband services this afternoon. Customers can still receive and make calls as normal," it said in a statement. "We've been working hard to fix the issue and are glad to report that nearly every customer affected is now reconnected, approximately two hours after the problem started. It did not give details of what may have caused the issue but said: "There is no evidence at this stage to suggest that we were subject to a malicious attack." Its website had also crashed for a time and some users reported that its customer service line was down. Hundreds of people took to social media to express their frustration using the hashtag #BTdown, which is currently trending on Twitter. McGeehan, who has not played since breaking a leg in January, has signed a three-year contract at Oakwell The 22-year-old began his career at Chelsea before moving on to Norwich City, who he captained to FA Youth Cup success in 2013. He is Barnsley's fourth summer signing, following the arrival of Stevie Mallan, Jason McCarthy and Liam Lindsay. "He has got a lot of experience in the game for someone so young and has already proved willing to relocate to better himself, so he will fit right in here. His energy and eagerness to learn will make him a valuable asset to the side," head coach Paul Heckingbottom told the club website. McGeehan helped Luton win promotion back to the Football League in 2014 and Luton boss Nathan Jones said they had turned down a number of offers for him in past transfer windows "This one worked out to be a good deal for the club, for Cameron and for the squad moving forward," he told told the Hatters website.

The spiky sunburst character, who cheers on Scottish Premiership club Partick Thistle, caused a global stir when he was unveiled last year. He was likened to "a demented sun god" and described as "terrifying". Club officials said the successful candidate should be able to whip crowds into a frenzy, pose for selfies and not mind being dragged in all directions. A willingness to work at weekends is also listed as a requirement. Jay McGhee, who wore the costume previously, has retired as he is about to become a father. Mr McGhee told BBC Radio Scotland that any candidates to replace him would need to excel at conveying messages with just their hands and be "good with duct tape", to help keep the costume maintained. But he said the character was really not as frightening as many people assume when they see pictures of Kingsley. "I think it does look angry in photographs but when you see it in person it's completely different - it's seems like a happy face," he said. "I knew it would be big when I first saw the costume, but nowhere near as big as it has been." The club said it was now looking for someone else to step into the suit of the "mono-browed, dentist-deprived ray of sunshine that is Kingsley", who was designed by 2013 Turner Prize nominee David Shrigley. Duties for the successful candidate - who must be between 5ft 8in and 6ft 2in tall - would include being the main focus at games, rubbing shoulders with celebrities and heading up an army of Jags fans. Ian Maxwell, Partick Thistle managing director, said: "We've decided to turn to our fans to find our next Kingsley. "We want to see passion, creative thinking and ideas that are a bit out there, just like the mascot should be. "We have exciting plans for Kingsley next season that we hope will help keep the momentum around the club moving in the right direction. "Kingsley is the face of the club and we can't wait to find the right person to make sure he remains the centre of attention, not only at Partick Thistle but also within Scottish football as a whole." Those interested in the role can apply by submitting a short video, no more than two minutes long, along with a CV and covering letter. The winner will be unveiled in the run-up to the club's opening home fixture in the Betfred Cup against Queen of the South on July 23. Title: Kingsley - Partick Thistle Football Club mascot Job Description: Best job in the world Essential requirements: Desired requirements: Recompense: Speaking to Scott Mills during the Radio 1 Chart Show, which saw their fourth release in being named number one in the UK, he said they're already talking about the next one. "I think we're going to go about it differently this year," he said. "We're just going to chill with it a bit this year but there's definitely another album coming." "I had one of the songwriters around my house the other day and we were sitting down and talking about how we're going to go about it." Liam's comments follow reports that Four, which is One Direction's third consecutive UK number one, would be their last. He explained: "People will ask us 'Is this the last album?' and we'll just say 'yes' for a joke. "Whatever you say you are held to account for. It's ridiculous. About 97, 98 per cent of the stuff we say is stupid stuff. "People, especially in other countries, take it genuinely seriously. "It's quite hard actually because I don't think we don't grasp the consciousness to be serious about things yet." Speaking to Scott from a hotel room in Florida, Liam added: "We just make these jokes and we get in trouble and we end up on the front pages. "When you read the articles back, they've asked you a question and you've answered in a jokey way and then they write a different question. "It's totally taken out of context and you're like 'That was a bright idea'." He went on to say how important it was for their latest album, which sold 142,000 copies this week, to make it to the top of the chart. "This was our album that we really worked on," said the 21-year-old. "With the other albums we've had a lot of help with, so for this one to be number one is actually a bit more special." When asked about the reception Four is getting, Liam said: "It's our fourth album, you think 'Are people going to get bored?' "We've just been really conscious to work hard on the music and make it something different. "I think we're getting quite good at surprises now." He went on to describe feeling "like a president" when the band arrived by speed boat to launch the album at Universal Studios in Florida and that it crosses his mind most days that his life is "a little bit strange". He added: "I was told there was going to be 200 people but there. There was like 10,000. It's pretty amazing I don't understand how." Liam said the band "still travel together", flying around the world on the same private jet. "Our jet's a very strange jet," he explained. "Louis just carries a Sharpie everywhere with him. He does it with his friends when they come back, if they fall asleep they get something drawn on their face or a few choice words on their arm. "There's loads of crisps and Haribo and rubbish food. "We always order McDonalds or something. They won't bring it out in a bag, they won't do that on a jet. They serve it on a plate. "It's not as glamorous as you think. The word jet is the most glamorous thing about it. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube PC Joshua Savage, of Wanstead, is also charged with common assault, criminal damage to a windscreen and threatening behaviour over the alleged incident in Camden on 16 September 2016. Footage of the stop in Vicars Road was circulated on social media at the time. PC Savage denied the charges at Westminster Magistrates' Court earlier. The footage, filmed by the driver and shared on social media, appeared to show an officer smashing a windscreen during a stop and search and then sawing the windscreen with a blade. PC Savage, who is currently on restricted duties with the Met Police, is next due to appear at Southwark Crown Court on 18 May. The Louvre and Orsay museums were shut while staff moved artworks to safety as flood levels climbed above 6m (18ft). The Seine is set to reach as high as 6.5m and unlikely to recede over the weekend, with more downpours forecast. At least 15 people have died across central Europe as heavy rainfall caused flooding from France to Ukraine. While two people died in France, 10 were killed in southern Germany as several towns were devastated. Two more fatalities were reported in Romania and one in Belgium. Austria, the Netherlands and Poland have also been affected. Tens of thousands of people have been forced from their homes. The flooding could cost French insurance companies more than 600 million euros (£470m), according to the industry association AFA. In Paris, the Cluny - La Sorbonne and St Michel metro stations were closed as a precaution while the river spilled onto the city's streets. Bridges were closed and non-emergency boats were banned from the Seine as its swelling forced the closure of museums, parks and cemeteries. At the Louvre, curators scrambled to move 250,000 artworks to higher ground from basement storage areas at risk of inundation from what President Francoise Hollande called "exceptional flooding". Authorities have even taken initial steps to transfer the presidency and key ministries to secure areas, AP news agency reported. An apparent equipment fault led to the river's depth being wrongly measured for several hours on Friday. Many locals have preferred to benchmark the rise against the statue of a soldier - known as the Zouave - standing below the Alma bridge: His frame is currently submerged up to the waist. While France's rainfall levels in May were the highest since 1873, the current crisis is eclipsed by the 1910 floods that saw Paris submerged for two months, when the Zouave was up to his neck in the Seine. The river level peaked at 8.62m that year, and has since reached 7.1m in 1955 and 6.18m in 1982. Are you in France or Germany and been affected by the floods?

A Police Scotland spokesman said a 38-year-old man was taken into custody. The force said no-one was injured, and its inquiries were at an early stage. It was understood no threats were made during the incident. Joe Pugh and Vicky Balch spoke on the eve of the ride reopening for the new season at Alton Towers. They suffered life-changing injuries when the carriage smashed into another car at the Staffordshire theme park last June. Miss Balch, along with another passenger, Leah Washington, had to have a leg amputated. In total 16 people were hurt. More on this and other Staffordshire stories Speaking to ITV's Good Morning Britain, Mr Pugh, of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said: "I think it would have been a bit unrealistic if we had both said 'I don't think it's ever going to reopen again' because it always was going to, but if people choose to go on it, that's up to them. "Seeing it go round, it's not something that I want to see. I would have preferred for it to be closed." Miss Balch, from Lancashire, told ITV News she felt Alton Towers was putting money before people. "I've never wanted it to reopen, that's just the obvious reaction," she said. "I understand it's a business and it's what they have to do. I just didn't think it'd be so soon. It's only nine months, it's not a very long time. "But at the end of the day it feels like the money comes before the people on the ride." Daniel Thorpe, from Buxton, Derbyshire, and Chandaben Chauhan, from Wednesbury, West Midlands, were also seriously injured in the incident, which park owner Merlin Entertainments said was due to human error. The Health and Safety Executive is prosecuting Merlin over the crash and the company is due in court in April. Uruguayan defender Miguel Britos was shown a first-half red card for a high and reckless challenge on Brighton's Anthony Knockaert, who was lucky to escape injury. In a game of few clear-cut chances, Brighton came closest to making the breakthrough as they twice hit the post through Knockaert and Tomer Hemed. But Watford's 10 men held firm to claim a battling point that extends their unbeaten start to the season, as the Seagulls' wait for a first Premier League goal since promotion goes on. The hosts started brightly, with Nathaniel Chalobah seeing a goal-bound header blocked by Lewis Dunk and record signing Andre Gray missing from a Nordin Amrabat pull back. Amrabat, who had looked dangerous for the hosts, was soon replaced by Craig Cathcart as head coach Marco Silva patched up his defence after Britos' dismissal. Brighton appealed for a penalty when Abdoulaye Doucoure put in a high foot while competing for a loose ball with Knockaert, but referee Graham Scott instead awarded an indirect free-kick. Both sides pushed for the win in the final 10 minutes as Watford introduced club captain Troy Deeney and Albion threw on record signing Jose Izquierdo for his debut, but neither could make a telling contribution. Britos protested his 24th-minute dismissal, but in truth there was little defending what was a dangerous two-footed tackle on Frenchman Knockaert. Describing the challenge on Final Score, BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks said: "I have no doubt in my mind that is a red card. I have not seen a tackle like that in 40 years." ...plus reaction & video here On Twitter, Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker described it as "the most horrendous tackle". Speaking after the game, Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes said Britos had apologised to his team-mates, adding "we need to apologise to the Brighton players as well". "He knows what he did and I don't think he did it intentionally," Gomes continued. "He always goes for the ball and he goes fair, but he lost timing and caught the player." Britos - also sent off twice last season - is the second Watford player to be sent off in a week, after Jose Holebas saw red in the 3-2 EFL Cup defeat to Bristol City. Media playback is not supported on this device Watford manager Marco Silva: "It was a difficult match, it started really well for us, we had chances to score. After the first chance they created we lost emotional balance. We need to continue what we did before. "The red card changed everything. But after that our players showed good spirit and attitude. "I didn't see it, but the information I have is that it [the decision to send Britos off] looked fair. I have spoken with the player and we need to be calm to think what we will do." Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "It is a concern [that Brighton are yet to score], yes, because on the balance of play and getting in areas we are, we should do better. "We need to find a way to win these games, we hit the post twice and feel it is coming. "I hope we are successful in this transfer window to get a bit more attacking threat. I hope I'll be busy, can't guarantee it, but we are trying as hard as we can. It is a difficult market." Media playback is not supported on this device Brighton winger Anthony Knockaert: "We are glad to get our first point but we're also disappointed not to get a win because we were playing against 10 men. We had a few chances but couldn't find a goal. "We showed better character today and there are some good signs for the future. We have two weeks to work hard during the international break. "We knew it would not be easy because they kept good shape and in the end I think they were happy with a draw." After the international break, Brighton play host to West Brom in the Premier League on 9 September, while Watford travel to Southampton on the same day (both 15:00 BST).

BBC Midlands Today's Liz Copper has this special report. Former Scottish Secretary Lord Lang of Monkton, who is chairing the inquiry, said devolution had significantly changed the way the UK was governed. But the Conservative peer said the process had not been undertaken in a coherent or considered way. The inquiry will seek to identify what binds the constituent parts of the UK and the ways in which it might be strengthened and reinforced. Lord Lang, who was the Tory MP in south west Scotland in the 1980 and 90s and a cabinet minister in John Major's government, is chairman of the House of Lords Constitution Committee. He said: "Since 1998, devolution has significantly changed the way the United Kingdom is governed, and there are proposals for the further devolution of power both to nations within the UK and to English cities and regions in the very near future. "We are concerned, however, that this process has not been undertaken in a coherent or considered way; the devolution of powers to each nation has been considered separately with little or no reflection on the impact on the Union as a whole." He added: "Our inquiry will span a broad range of constitutional issues and will give witnesses the opportunity to put their views on record on an issue that will profoundly affect the whole of the UK. I would encourage interested parties to send us their evidence by 2 October." Zenga, 56, is embarking on his first job in England after replacing Kenny Jackett at the end of July. "Since the gaffer's come in, it's been fantastic," Coady, 23, told BBC WM. "It's been relentless, he's been trying to get his point across to us and his attention to detail is brilliant." Zenga was appointed shortly after the Championship club were taken over by Chinese investors Fosun International. "His passion's amazing," said Coady, who scored his first goal for Wolves in their EFL Cup first-round win over League Two Crawley. "He's only been here a couple of weeks so it's going to take a bit of time. "The fans are going to see a very passionate team - he wants us to get the ball back as quickly as possible and counter attack. "We need to make Molineux a fortress, he's been big on that. We want teams to be frightened to play here." Wolves' new owners have already funded moves for Portuguese trio Helder Costa, Silvio and Joao Teixeira, as well as Iceland international Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, who scored his first goal in Saturday's draw at Rotherham. "They bring great quality - they like to run with the ball and it's up to us to help them along," said Coady. "The Championship's a tough league but they'll adapt and they're strong minded. "You know when you give them the ball, something's going to happen and they'll get the crowd off their feet and will win us games." Wolves have also been linked with a club-record £20m move for Benfica midfielder Anderson Talisca.

The Great British Bake Off returns to our screens on Wednesday.

Up to 13,000 new homes are due to be built on the edge of the town, as part of the coalition's plans to help deal with the UK's housing shortage. "I can confirm the government is putting its support behind Bicester," a Treasury spokesperson told the BBC. The measure was announced as part of a National Infrastructure Plan. "New houses support economic growth and are a crucial element of a fair society, so I've prioritised the investment of almost £2bn to ensure we can build on average 55,000 new homes a year until 2020," the chief secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander, said on Tuesday. "Combined with the other measures we are announcing today, we will vastly increase supply by providing funding certainty, unlocking capacity in housing associations and kick starting stalled regeneration projects." Mr Alexander added a government agency could plan, build and sell tens of thousands of homes on public sector land. He suggested that building projects of this nature could go some way to supplying the 250,000 houses that need to be built every year to meet the current housing shortfall, rather than selling land to private sector house builders who did nothing with the land. He added: "The message to the house building sector would be simple: if you don't build them, we will." A pilot project is already under way at Northstowe, a former RAF base in Cambridgeshire, with the capacity for 10,000 houses, That would make it the largest planned town since Milton Keynes. Bicester is expected to get a new railway station to serve the expanded population as part of rail plans previously detailed by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. Earlier this year, the government announced that Ebbsfleet in Kent had been picked to become the first modern garden city, with an initial 15,000 homes. The government ultimately plans to build three garden cities, each with more than 15,000 homes. In March, it said funding from an existing £2.4bn pot would be made available for developments being built up to 2020. Garden cities are large-scale developments in which, according to the government, certain features can be "hardwired into designs from the beginning". The government has said it does not want to "impose any definition of what garden cities are", but features can include "quality design, gardens, accessible green space near homes, access to employment, and local amenities". But the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE) said there are "mixed feelings" about government plans. Helen Marshall of the Oxfordshire branch of the CPRE told the BBC: "I think most people in Bicester will have slightly mixed feelings. It may bring relief for some of the infrastructure problems and it might be good for the local economy but at the same time they don't want to lose the character of the town as it stands or the fact that it is in a rural setting surrounded by very lovely rural villages - so it's going to be a balance." The garden city planning concept, by Sir Ebenezer Howard, was first used to create Letchworth Garden City at the start of the 20th century and Welwyn Garden City in the 1920s. The concept was adopted again when the New Towns Act resulted in the development of new communities following World War Two. The new communities were created to deal with an accommodation shortage caused by bomb damage, stagnation in the construction industry, returning service personnel and a baby boom. They were called Garden Cities because their layouts included large amounts of green space. Two years ago the government commissioned a report on the possibility of using Garden Cities to help deal with the housing shortage.

Bicester in Oxfordshire has been chosen as the site for the coalition's second new garden city, the government has confirmed.

So it matters that he says western politicians expected too much of central bankers over the past few years, and that governments were too obsessed with making budget cuts. In an interview with me, he says that the administrations of the US, UK and eurozone over-did austerity, with the consequence that the Fed, Bank of England and European Central Bank were forced to engage in extreme monetary stimulus - cuts in interest rates to almost zero and massive money creation through quantitative easing - that many regard as dangerous. In remarks that will fuel the intense debate between the Labour and Tories in Britain on austerity, he said: "I think politicians have been too focussed on near-term budget cuts in all of these major countries [the US, UK and Europe]". He added: "Way too much of the burden [of engineering recovery] has been placed on central banks… The central banks are trying to use the tools they have to accomplish their objectives. "If you had a more balanced monetary/fiscal mix - and I am talking here about the US, as well as Europe and the UK - the central banks could do less." Ben Bernanke is in the UK to promote his book on his eight years as Fed chairman, The Courage to Act. The news will bring some respite to businesses that import goods, and to holidaymakers buying foreign currency. For the first time in five weeks sterling is worth $1.26, having sunk as low as $1.21 a month ago. That is a rise of about 4%. Against the euro, the pound has risen by more than 6% over the same period, up from €1.09 to €1.16. It jumped further when figures on the construction industry were published, which were not as bad as expected. One analyst said the US election had put concerns about Brexit "on the back burner". Donald Trump's election as US President has also raised hopes that the UK may find it easier to negotiate a trade deal with the US. "This is definitely a rebound after some very positive comments from President-elect Trump," said Rupert Lee-Browne, chief executive of currency firm Caxton FX. "He's indicated he wants America and the UK to continue with the special relationship, and that has lifted spirits in the currency market." At the same time there are worries about political stability in Europe. Italy is facing a referendum on constitutional reform, and France will have a presidential election in April next year. The High Court decision to force a parliamentary vote on Article 50, which triggers the Brexit procedure, has also helped the pound recover. It eased concerns on the financial markets that the UK could exit the European Union without a good trade deal - a so-called "hard Brexit". "There's an element of simply a shift in focus behind this," said Jason Lawler, market analyst at CMC Markets. "The phenomenon of Donald Trump as US President-elect has put Brexit on the back-burner, allowing the pound to creep higher." The pound's recovery has happened in spite of speculation that US interest rates might rise when the Federal Reserve, the US central bank, holds its next meeting in December, a move likely to strengthen the dollar. Equally well, higher inflation expectations in the UK mean that interest rates are more likely to rise here, making the pound more attractive. "But there is always the worry about Brexit - and that could bring sterling down going forward," said Mr Lee-Browne. Despite the slight recovery in recent days, the pound is still well below the levels it stood at a year ago when it was worth $1.52 and €1.42. The break-in at Goodwood House in West Sussex took place at about 04:15 GMT on Wednesday, Sussex Police said. The intruder used a ladder to get into the house through an upstairs window before being disturbed by 54-year-old Lady March. The man pushed her, and hit Lord March, 61, on the head before tying the pair up and taking the jewellery. Staff at the 17th Century home, near Chichester, found the couple still tied up when they arrived for work at 06:30. A 26-year-old man from Hampshire has been arrested in connection with the raid and released on bail until February. A diamond tiara and a ring given by Charles II to his mistress were among more than 40 items stolen from Goodwood House. Sussex Police said the stolen tiara, dating from 1820, was worth in the region of £400,000. Lord March, who founded the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 1993, and his wife, also known as Jane Astor, were "devastated" at the theft of "priceless" items, police said. Gems expert Filippo Guerrini-Maraldi, of insurance broker RK Harrison. said the jewellery was likely to be broken up and sold on. "The chances are they will dismantle the tiara to take the diamonds," Mr Guerrini-Maraldi said. "The metal will be melted down and used for another item." Mr Guerrini-Maraldi said the thieves may not have been looking for specific items. "They might be main-chancers and if they stumble across a tiara such as this they have hit the jackpot," he said. Ch Insp Justin Burtenshaw, of Sussex Police, said: "They [Lord and Lady March] are devastated at the loss of these priceless items. "I would like to praise the courage of both of them, both during the ordeal and afterwards now as we investigate." JJ McMenamin dressed as the character while North Yorkshire Police searched for him at the weekend. He was wanted for failing to attend court and handed himself in dressed in the costume on Monday. The 30-year-old pleaded guilty at Northallerton Magistrates' Court earlier to driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance. He was banned from driving for three months and fined £235. No further penalty was imposed for the stunt. More stories from across North Yorkshire McMenemin, originally from Middlesbrough, was wanted by police after he failed to attend court on 19 December. He changed his Facebook profile picture to a photo of his head superimposed on an image of Where's Wally and went on to post a series of videos, including one in which he sang along to Lionel Richie's Hello, which contains the line "is it me you're looking for?" He also filmed himself surrendering to Harrogate police station and broadcasted the event on Facebook.

"Missing Rio was absolutely devastating," she said. "It's the worst thing I've had to go through. "It's always going to be in the back of my head but that feeling drives me on." Having missed the Olympics, the 2014 Commonwealth champion put her energies into winning the World Triathlon Series, only to have her hopes dashed by injury. She makes her comeback in the first race of the new season, with qualification for the 2018 Commonwealth Games one of her priorities. Having been based in Morzine in the French Alps with coach Darren Smith, she spent her first winter at home for eight years after switching to the British Triathlon set-up in Loughborough under head coach Ben Bright. "It was probably my most challenging winter," said Stimpson, who won last year in Abu Dhabi. "It was definitely a slower progression than I'm used to but things have finally started to come together and I'm excited to get out there and start the season off."

They will simply point to the seizure of the Crimea and the Russian military's continuing support for the rebels in eastern Ukraine as a sure sign of Moscow's growing assertiveness. Mr Putin also says that the Russian military threat is being exaggerated in the West to justify increased military spending. Well there is certainly a good deal of hyperbole in some sections of the Western media. The transit of the small naval task force led by Russia's sole and ageing aircraft carrier - the Admiral Kuznetsov - through the English Channel, for example, sent many British newspapers into a spin. Frequent stories about the interception of Russian aircraft or Russian submarines all suggest a return to the more uneasy years of the Cold War. The simple fact is that this is not a Cold War Mark II - far from it. Russia with its declining economy is nothing like the Soviet Union, which aspired to establish a different world order to that pursued by the capitalist West. Russia is in many ways a weak country. Its leadership has a strong sense of encirclement - a view that the West is only eager to do it down - and, rightly or wrongly, this is driving Mr Putin's more assertive approach. That is what is making Nato allies like the three Baltic Republics and Poland so worried. That is why countries like Romania and Bulgaria worry about Russia's behaviour in the Black Sea region. And that is why Nato has sought to provide visible and highly symbolic reinforcements to its northern and south-eastern flanks. But Nato has to square a circle here. Despite Mr Putin's barbs, there is no great enthusiasm for a new conventional arms race. The economies of the European allies, for a start, are generally not in great shape. Indeed Europe is distracted by the migrant crisis sweeping in from the Middle East and the self-inflicted drama of Britain's planned exit from the EU. So the problem here in Brussels has been to do enough both to reassure worried Nato members and to send a clear message of deterrence towards Moscow. The Americans are sending a heavy armoured brigade to western Europe, bringing the total number of US Brigade combat teams on the continent to three. The new brigade will initially go to Poland and then elements will deploy to Romania, Bulgaria and the three Baltic republics. Equipment for a further US brigade will be pre-deployed in Europe. But the whole point of sending a signal of deterrence is not that the US shoulders all of the burden but that as many Nato countries as possible are involved. The method of doing this is by the deployment of four multi-national battalions - one to each of the Baltic republics and the other to Poland. Each of these units will be about 1,000 strong, comprising in most cases mechanised infantry, with a few supporting arms. The UK, for example, will lead the battalion going to Estonia. It will have Warrior armoured fighting vehicles, a small number of tanks and additional companies of French and Danish troops. The US will lead the battalion going to Poland, along with a small number of British and Romanian soldiers. Canada and Germany will lead the remaining two battalions again with small additions to give them a multi-national character. Canada's Minister of National Defence, Harjit Sajjan, told me his country would be commanding the battalion going to Latvia. In his view, the deployment of these multi-national units early next year demonstrates the alliance "coming together, showing the ability to operate together and greater cohesion". "It is", he said, "an open and transparent message of deterrence." But the reassurance effort is not just northwards. Canada will be participating in a new air policing operation in the south-east - probably based out of Romania - and a Canadian warship will also be despatched to the Black Sea to help provide an enhanced Nato presence. But I put it to him that in practice these are very small forces. Enhanced battalions are surely not going to impress Moscow? Not surprisingly the Canadian defence minister disagreed, insisting that the multi-national model sent "a very strong message to Russia". Nato is taking small military steps to underline to Moscow that it still is very much in business and that despite all the clouds on Europe's horizons it can make decisions swiftly and deploy forces accordingly. Of course, there is political and military theatre in all of this. Are Russian tank armies ready to sweep westwards, as they were at the height of the Cold War? Probably not. But is Russia ready to use force in Europe, where it can to secure its goals? Most certainly. Countries like Georgia and Ukraine still have far more to fear from Moscow than Nato. But the alliance's security rests upon meaningful guarantees that its member states are all in it together, both in good and bad times. This week has been about consolidating and underlining those guarantees - the message to Moscow is clear. Masked gunmen burst into a rented beach house on Monday, tied up and held at gunpoint six Spanish men as they attacked the women for several hours. A seventh woman escaped after telling the attackers she was a Mexican. Acapulco is one of Mexico's most famous beach resorts, but it has recently suffered from drug-related violence. "The attack will not go unpunished, as we are committed to catching those responsible," said a statement from the government of Guerrero state which includes Acapulco. "The government is in constant communication with the victims and the Spanish consular authorities to offer help," the statement added. Most of the Spanish women are reported to be residents of Mexico who had travelled to Acapulco - on the Pacific coast - for a weekend break. No-one has been arrested in connection with the attack on Playa Bonfil, but officials said they had leads to pursue. "Fortunately we have strong evidence that will lead us to those responsible for this reprehensible act," Guerrero state Attorney-General Marta Garzon told Mexican radio. Acapulco Mayor Luis Walton has apologised for causing offence after he said the attack could have happened "anywhere in the world". The rapes are being seen as a blow to Mexico's attempts to boost its reputation as a tourist destination. In recent years Guerrero state has been the scene of a bloody feud between rival drug trafficking gangs, but BBC Mexico correspondent Will Grant says Acapulco and its beaches have been considered relatively safe. In the 1950s and 1960s Acapulco was a world-famous resort that attracted celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and US President John F Kennedy, who spent his honeymoon there. These days it mainly attracts Mexican holiday makers It happened when medics were called to Ruthin Road in the early hours, the Welsh Ambulance Service said. Manager Karl Hughes said the ambulance, a "precious resource", had been taken off the road for repairs following the "malicious act". Witnesses were asked to call North Wales Police on 101. The number of mortgages approved for house purchases increased to 44,488 in June, the British Bankers' Association (BBA) said. This was 5,000 more approvals than the average of the previous six months. The figures come after a lenders' group said that the housing market was "waking up" after a quiet spring. The number of home loans approved for house purchases hit a 15-month high in June, according to the figures from the BBA which represents the major High Street banks. The data is adjusted to take into account a fall in activity in the market a year ago owing to a change in mortgage rules which slowed the approval process. The lift in mortgage activity, with gross lending rising to £11.5bn, comes as banks and building societies compete for borrowers' custom. "This rise is partly fuelled by record-low mortgage deals. The average two-year fixed rate mortgage has fallen from 3.67% a year ago to 2.75% today, and borrowers are clearly taking advantage of these low rates to secure lower monthly repayments," said Charlotte Nelson, of financial information service Moneyfacts. "However, with Mark Carney's announcement that base rate is likely to rise in the near future, these low rates will not be around for long." Last week, Mr Carney, the Bank of England governor, said interest rates could rise before the end of the year. A general view of a rise in interest rates was also thought to be a reason behind an increase in the number of homeowners remortgaging, according to the BBA. Remortgaging has risen by more than 20% in the year to the end of June, its figures showed. Last week, the Council of Mortgage Lenders said the housing market appeared to be "waking up" after a quiet few months. Separate figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed annual UK house price inflation rose to 5.7% in May, up from 5.5% in April. The video has already had thousands of views and original fans of the channel, Lonelygirl15, have expressed surprise. The show, in the form of a confessional vlog by a teenage girl, launched in 2005 and was later revealed to have been scripted. It attracted millions of viewers, even after the staging was announced. The film makers called a press conference after a year, following increasing suspicion among fans and the media that the central character, Bree, was not a real person. Co-creator Mesh Flinders, speaking before the new video was uploaded, told the Guardian that he did not think the project would work in today's climate. "On YouTube now we wouldn't get away with this for 30 seconds," he said. "People would know she's fake immediately." The show, which ran for two years, grew a cast of characters and frequently referenced a mysterious and sinister religion. The storyline became a fight against an organisation called The Order. It continued to run after Bree was killed off - but she is back in the new video, which includes some hidden material. "I know, you've got a lot of questions. Questions deserve answers. It's the only thing that satisfies them and I have many..." reads the accompanying text. Those leaving comments beneath the video seem as amazed to discover that they have been on YouTube for 10 years as they are about the new material. There is a mixture of surprise, delight and confusion in their reactions to the video itself, as well as some saying they think the series has had its day and should not be resurrected, while others question whether the new video is a hoax. Actress Jessica Lee Rose, who played Bree, said that when she first discovered the role was for an internet show and not a movie, she almost pulled out. "I instantly thought this is some scam. I really thought this was what I'd been warned about moving to Los Angeles," she said. 9 March 2016 Last updated at 10:53 GMT The lucky pup was pulled to safety from rushing waters of the Rimac river in Peru after it become stranded on a rocky island. The dog received medical attention and was comforted by residents who stood by to watch the rescue. McIlroy, 25, did not play but took the title because Sergio Garcia, Marcel Siem and Jamie Donaldson failed to win. German Siem started the final round in Antalya one shot off the lead but a one-under 71 dropped him to eighth. England's Ian Poulter missed a six-foot putt to force a play-off as Koepka shot a seven-under 65 to win on 17 under. Poulter, who let slip a six-shot lead in the third round, matched American Koepka with four birdies in his opening nine holes. However, the Englishman was only able to pick up one more shot on the back nine, at the par-five 13th, which Koepka eagled to add to his birdie on the 10th. Koepka parred his final five holes to win his first European Tour title, although Poulter gave himself a chance of getting into a play-off with an excellent bunker shot on the last but he was unable to convert the putt. Sweden's Henrik Stenson had nine birdies and a bogey as he scored the joint lowest round of the day, an eight-under 64, to finish third on 14 under and move up to second on the European Tour's money list, 2.7m euros (£2.1m) behind McIlroy, although he had no chance of catching the Northern Irishman. Siem, Garcia of Spain and Welshman Donaldson all needed to win in Turkey and at next week's season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai to deny Northern Ireland's world number one McIlroy top spot. Four-time major winner McIlroy, who won the Open and PGA Championship in 2014, will return to action in the final event of the season, which begins on Thursday. Set against the cacophony of sharing and declaring that happens online, it can be precious to feel that, just for a moment, you are lost in a crowd. Unidentifiable. It is, of course, an illusion. You are never alone, especially if you are carrying a smartphone that has ever been used to connect to a wireless network. Which is pretty much all of them. All of those devices maintain a list of the wi-fi networks they have joined. The way wi-fi works demands that they always seek to rejoin those networks. As a result, smartphones and tablets regularly broadcast the SSIDs (service set identifiers), or names, of those networks. It's a feature designed to ensure that when you are near a network you regularly use, you get connected quickly. However, with the right equipment, that very feature could leave you exposed to some sneaky surveillance. The right equipment is a laptop on which Kali Linux - a version of the free operating system that includes a raft of security tools - is loaded. One of those tools can sniff the airwaves for lists of SSIDs. I tried it for myself. Sipping a latte in a coffee bar that lay in the shadow of the Bank of England, I watched as my laptop gathered a list of all the wi-fi networks the people around me had joined. When anyone walked past the window, the list grew, as a new device being carried in a pocket or purse declared where it had been. I saw the names of wi-fi networks in homes, airports and hotels. Ones that people had changed to include their surname. I saw office networks, other coffee shops, bars, station platforms and football stadiums. "So what?" you might say. Just because a phone is shedding this data does not make it dangerous. But combine those lists with websites that log and list wi-fi networks and you potentially have a way to track where people have been without letting them know. Those websites are easy to find and they handily map all the networks that volunteers have logged. I entered a few of the names I found during my surveillance trip and it pointed me to quite a few homes in and around London - doubtless where the people that passed by actually lived. And now I knew that they were not home. To test just what could be done with this low level data if it fell into the wrong hands, the BBC asked security firm Pen Test Partners to carry out a "war walk", to scoop lists of wi-fi networks. In the old days of hacking, "war dialling" involved making a phone dial consecutive numbers, and seeking those that answer with a data tone. These days, "war walking" involved slipping a tablet in a backpack and strolling up and down a road. The road we chose was Whitehall, in Westminster, London. Chris Pickering and Ken Munro from Pen Test Partners walked up and down the street several times. Once they took a cab because it was raining. The idea was to gather data at different times, then look through it for the few wi-fi IDs that always turn up. Those static lists should indicate people working inside the government buildings. Each trip up and down the road netted about 1,000 hits, said Mr Munro. Sometimes more, sometimes fewer. Filtering out the noise, the tourists, left 58 hits that were consistent between the three passes. Some of the wi-fi locations those 58 had used were "interesting" said Mr Munro, especially those by hits logged from inside the Ministry of Defence. "Some government military staff don't know how to turn wi-fi sharing off or that they can be tracked by it," he said. Passive wi-fi gathering has been done on a bigger scale by James Lyne, head of research at security firm Sophos. Mr Lyne has spent hours cycling around London and San Francisco, gathering the wi-fi data and then analysing it to see, broadly, what can be learned. "There will be a lot of interesting stories in that data," said Mr Lyne, given that it logs who went where and which wi-fi network they used when they were there. It could give clues to impending mergers and acquisitions, the early stages of business deals or even romantic assignations. It is not just security researchers who are interested in the data being shed by your smartphone. Shopping malls and individual stores are starting to use the data to track people as they move around. Some of the early uses of such tactics, such as when litter bins in London were scooping up the info, have caused concern. The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF), which represents web giants such as Google, Facebook and Yahoo as well as retailers, banks and more traditional firms such as General Motors and Lockheed Martin, has drawn up guidelines for its backers that govern what data they can gather and what can be done with it. Shops are keen to use the data as a way to fight back against online retailers, said FPF executive director Jules Polonetsky. By using it to get to know customers, it should be possible to make shopping much more enjoyable, he said. Just as Amazon recommends items based on what you bought last time, so stores could do the same. They could tailor the experience to "delight" customers, Mr Polonetsky added. The FPF is working with some stores to make their use much more transparent. In some cases this might go as far as having a display in store revealing the tracking system, who is on it, and where they are. That transparency should start to dispel some of the fears growing up around the passive tracking, said Mr Polonetsky. "We can't have people nervous when they go into stores," he said. "This should be about the stores doing something for you, not to you". With Steph Curry and Klay Thompson off form, bench players Shaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala and Leandro Barbosa helped seal victory in Oakland. Livingston scored 20 points, Iguodala 12 and Barbosa 11, while Curry, the NBA's Most Valuable Player, and Thompson managed 20 between them. The Warriors beat the Cavaliers in last year's final. "Even the best players in the world have bad nights," said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. "But it didn't hurt us." The Cavaliers' LeBron James, playing in his sixth straight finals, claimed 23 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists. The second game of the best-of-seven series also takes place at Golden State's Oracle Arena on Sunday. Philip Spence, 32, has a history of violence including an attempted hammer attack, the jury was told. Sisters Ohoud Al-Najjar, Khulood Al-Najjar and Fatima Al-Najjar were on holiday in April when subjected to the "vicious and sustained" attack. Mr Spence denies attempted murder but has admitted grievous bodily harm. The sisters, from the United Arab Emirates, were staying at the four-star Cumberland Hotel in Marble Arch on 6 April. Southwark Crown Court heard following the attack, Mr Spence made several visits to Emma Moss, whose brother James, of Hanley Road, Stroud Green, north London, has admitted handling stolen goods in relation to the case. In a police statement read out in court, Ms Moss told the court she had known Mr Spence sine she was 10 and that he had a drug addiction. She explained he had stolen from hotels before. The court heard that on the evening of 6 April, Spence turned up at Ms Moss's home. In her statement to police, she said: "He was hyperactive and told me about getting £50,000 worth of jewellery, BlackBerrys, iPods, bags and perfume. "He told me he got them from a hotel room. I knew he had done something bad but he often tells tales." Ms Moss said Mr Spence was on crack but that she thought nothing more of what he had told her. The following day he returned and appeared to be "paranoid", telling Ms Moss that his friends were trying to set him up and he was in "big trouble". She said Mr Spence told her what had happened with the hammer, adding: "Philip always carries a hammer with him. "Philip told me that he had left the hammer there (at the hotel). He was crying but I believe this was about himself, not the women." The court also heard when he was arrested on April 10, Mr Spence allegedly told police: "There ain't no blood on the hammer. I licked it all off, it went down my throat, yeah." Mr Spence, from Harlesden, has also admitted one charge of aggravated burglary. Simon Mayo QC, for the prosecution, told a jury Mr Spence had been convicted twice for ABH, twice for affray, five times for burglary and once for theft, among other offences. The violence included attacks on a female council office worker, care home staff and passers-by on the street and Mr Spence also threatened to kill a man he met on an online dating site. Explaining the previous incident with a hammer, Mr Mayo said in 2007 Mr Spence threatened and chased his landlord at Forest Road in Walthamstow in a row over rent. Mr Spence is alleged to have planned the attack in the early hours of 6 April with Thomas Efremi, 57, from Islington, north London. Mr Efremi denies conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary. The case continues. Two MPs have made formal complaints after they were named on the list, which was compiled by Mr Corbyn's team and sent to the Press Association. Mr McDonnell apologised, saying it was a briefing note and he was "furious" it had been sent out by mistake. One of the MPs to complain said this amounted to "harassment and bullying". Deputy leader Tom Watson, who also featured on the list, said he had received an apology. The latest row comes just over a week before Labour announces its new leader, with Owen Smith challenging Mr Corbyn. Relations between the two campaigns have soured, with both sides accused of abusive language towards the other. The briefing from Mr Corbyn's team accused Mr Smith of being the "real disunity candidate", citing comments by Smith-supporting MPs Jess Phillips, Tristram Hunt and John Woodcock, as well as by Mr Watson. It urged Mr Smith to "explicitly condemn those who have threatened to split the party and tear it apart, as well as condemn the abuse instigated by his high-profile supporters". Mr Watson said he had been told the list had been released by mistake by a junior press officer in Mr Corbyn's campaign team. The BBC understands Mr Woodcock is one of the MPs to make a formal complaint to the party's chief whip and its general secretary. "It is my clear view that targeting individuals like this amounts to harassment and bullying by the leader of the parliamentary party who is supposed to have a duty of care towards his fellow Labour MPs," Mr Woodcock's letter says. Another of the MPs named, Neil Coyle, tweeted: "Desperate, trial by troll, victim-culture claims from an anonymous source backing Corbyn this eve. Fuming." But asked about it at Bloomberg HQ in London, following a speech by Mr Corbyn, Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell said: "That release came from the campaign, it didn't come from Jeremy. We have apologised, it was just inappropriate. "One of our researchers saw a bit of incoming flak and then did a list of all the statements that have been made by other MPs, some of which were not particularly kind... it was a briefing note, it shouldn't have gone out and we apologised for that. "It certainly wasn't a list in any way to attack anyone, it was just a factual report." He said he felt progress had been made over the summer to improve unity in the party - evidenced, he said, by support for Mr Corbyn at this week's Prime Minister's Questions - and there was "no dispute at all" over its economic policy, so he felt the release of the list had "set us back and I was furious about it, to be frank". "Just at a time when we were, I think, really rebuilding relationships very very well throughout the summer - I hope it hasn't set us back and we will certainly have a conversation with all those involved." Mr Corbyn was asked about the row during a leaders' debate on Sky News. He said: "There was information put out there which is statements that colleagues made on the record and it's all stuff that is out there on the public record." Mr Smith said the list was "deeply divisive". A woman was airlifted to hospital in Aberdeen after falling on the Mar Lodge estate on Wednesday - the third major rescue in the first few days of 2017. Shaun Roberts, of the mountain centre Glenmore Lodge, said Scotland had good information services. He urged hill users to "ask questions of themselves" before setting off. Mr Roberts told BBC Radio Scotland: "What's really important about when people plan their day is the information that they put into the planning. "We're kind of blessed with a quality avalanche information service and also quality weather forecasts. "They're at our fingertips." Rescues in the Cairngorms have included that of a couple who spent the night in blizzard conditions after getting into difficulties while walking their dog on New Year's Day. In a second incident, two young climbers carried to safety a walker who was suffering from hypothermia. "Also people need to ask some reasonable questions of themselves in terms of experience of the snow," Mr Roberts said. "Often, if there is doubt, that's normally pretty much a red flag in terms of have you got the right information and do you have the right experience to interpret the information you've got." In Sweden, the event involves swimming between islands and running across them. Loch Gu Loch Swimrun Scotland will ask competitors to complete 13 swims and seven runs in and around the Great Glen on 26 September. The swims will be done on five lochs - Ness, Duntelchaig, Ceo Glais, Mhor and Tarff. The finish line will be in Fort Augustus on Loch Ness. In total, the entrants will be expected to complete 8k of swimming and 47k of running. Danielle Jones said she "just screamed" when the singer turned up during the reception in Old Windsor in Berkshire on Friday. He sang Take That's hit A Million Love Songs for the 33-year-old fan, before chatting to wedding guests. Earlier this year the star tweeted he would be singing at the weddings of three fans during 2015. Mrs Jones, from Bracknell, explained she and her husband had just had their first dance when her maid of honour, who had organised the stunt, led her to the surprise guest. "He was stood immediately in front of me - I was nearly not breathing for quite a long time," she said. Making his offer on Twitter in January, Barlow said he receives "thousands of requests" to sing at people's weddings. Mrs Jones said she had tweeted him to invite him to her wedding, but had received a message saying he was out of the country on the day. Photographer Gary Fielder said he had almost finished his day's work at the wedding when the "amazing" performance took place. "He seemed a genuine guy - so happy to be making an impact for someone," he said. Rangers, after a disappointing third-place finish last season, have been the biggest spenders as they try to narrow the gap between themselves and champions Celtic. Portugal defender Bruno Alves is their most high-profile signing, from Cagliari, as manager Pedro Caixinha begins to turn Ibrox into Glasgow's Latin quarter. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers appears fairly content with the squad that won the club's sixth title in a row, but they have once again made the single biggest acquisition, with French midfielder Olivier Ntcham arriving from Manchester City in exchange for £4.5m. Some of Scotland's best emerging talent has headed across the border to English football - Hibernian striker Jason Cummings and Rangers winger Barrie McKay to Nottingham Forest, right-back Calum Paterson from Hearts to Cardiff City, centre-half Liam Lindsay from Partick Thistle to Barnsley, while teen midfielder Billy Gilmour had not even established himself with Rangers before being sold to Chelsea. The league's top scorer, Northern Ireland striker Liam Boyce, was also sold, by Ross County to Burton Albion. They have been replaced with some well-known faces returning to the Scottish top-flight, albeit the wrong side of 30 - Iceland defender Kari Arnason to Aberdeen, Northern Ireland striker Kyle Lafferty and Scotland defender Christophe Berra to Hearts, former Norwich City duo Graham Dorrans and Steven Whittaker to Rangers and Hibs respectively, while former Ibrox defender Kirk Broadfoot and Scotland international Gordon Greer joined Kilmarnock. Team rebuilding couldn't prevent Rangers and St Johnstone making ignominious exits at the first stage of Europa League qualifying, while Aberdeen fell two rounds later and Kilmarnock kicked-off the domestic season with a surprise League Cup defeat by third-tier Ayr United. While Motherwell and Rangers have been the busiest in the transfer market, it took until the day before they opened the season against East Kilbride for Hamilton Academical to make their first addition - although defender Xavier Tomas' arrival from Lausanne-Sport was the first time they had paid a transfer fee in eight years. There's obviously more work to be done before the transfer window closes at the end of August. We asked BBC pundit Allan Preston, a man who knows the player agency world inside out, to assess how the clubs have recruited this season and where they might make further signings. Preston's report card: Jonny Hayes and Niall McGinn were a massive loss to Aberdeen, but Derek McInnes has signed really well once again and added some good players, such as Greg Stewart on loan and Gary Mackay-Steven. Key signing: Ryan Christie coming back for a second loan spell from Celtic is especially good business and, now that he knows he will be at Pittodrie for another year, he seems to have the bit between his teeth. August targets: Aberdeen still need another big right-sided centre-half, although Kari Arnason has returned and could be that guy. In: Gary Mackay-Steven, midfielder (Celtic, undisclosed); Kari Arnason, defender (Omonia Nicosia); Greg Tansey, midfielder (Inverness Caledonian Thistle); Nicky Maynard, forward (MK Dons). Loan: Greg Stewart, forward (Birmingham City); Ryan Christie, midfielder (Celtic). Out: Jonny Hayes, midfielder (Celtic, £1.3m); Ryan Jack, midfielder (Rangers); Niall McGinn, forward (Gwangju); Ash Taylor, defender (Northampton Town); Peter Pawlett, midfielder (MK Dons); Neil Alexander, goalkeeper (Livingston); Cammy Smith, forward (St Mirren); Aaron Lennox, goalkeeper (Raith Rovers); Robbie Mutch, goalkeeper (Falkirk); Jamie Henry, midfielder (Arbroath); Lawrence Shankland, forward; Joe Nuttall, forward; Jamie Henry, forward; Dylan Thomas, midfielder; Aaron Norris, midfielder. Manager: Derek McInnes (appointed March 2013) Last season: 2nd Clive's prediction: 3rd. While they have lost some flair, the Dons probably now have a better squad and, while that won't be enough to eat enough into the large gap between themselves and likely champions Celtic, it will ensure a close battle for second with a heavily financed Rangers. Preston's report card: Celtic at one stage last season had 31-32 players in their first-team squad, which is far too many. Brendan Rodgers has gradually whittled it down this summer while bringing in a couple of players of quality. Key signing: I've watched Olivier Ntcham emerge as a youngster with Manchester City and is a very good player. He will be an excellent addition to the Celtic midfield. August targets: Rodgers is right to say that Celtic can't afford to have three top-class strikers - not because of the cost but because you can't have a good player sitting kicking his heels. However, with Leigh Griffiths and Moussa Dembele having some injury problems, he would probably like to add a wide man who can deputise up front from time to time, like Patrick Roberts did last season. In: Olivier Ntcham, midfielder (Manchester City, £4.5m); Jonny Hayes, midfielder (Aberdeen, £1.3m); Kundai Benyu, midfielder (Ipswich Town, compensation). Out: Emilio Izaguirre, defender (Al-Fayha, undisclosed); Efe Ambrose, defender (Hibernian); Gary Mackay-Steven, midfielder (Aberdeen, undisclosed); Saidy Janko, defender (St Etienne); Logan Bailly, goalkeeper (Mouscron); Paul McMullan, midfielder (Dundee United); Eoghan O'Connell, defender (Bury); Fiacre Kelleher, defender (Oxford United); Conor McManus, midfielder (Greenock Morton); Kris Commons, midfielder; Leo Fasan, goalkeeper; Luke Donnelly, forward. Loan ended: Patrick Roberts, midfielder (Manchester City). Loan: Scott Allan, midfielder (Dundee); Sam Wardrop, defender (Dumbarton). Manager: Brendan Rodgers (appointed May 2016) Last season: 1st Clive's prediction: 1st. It is probably too much to expect Celtic to go on another unbeaten domestic season. However, they obviously feel confident enough that they can secure yet another title without having to break the bank. Preston's report card: Neil McCann has stayed on after his short spell at the end of last season, has made a number of signings and the foreign guys will take a bit of time to settle. Jack Hendry looks a good addition to the defence and Scott Allan, who lost his way a bit at Rotherham and Celtic, should be a good signing if he recovers the excellent form he showed with Hibs. Key signing: Being unable to find a good enough replacement for Kane Hemmings and Greg Stewart was costly for previous Dens boss Paul Hartley and it is not easy with the budget available to most Scottish clubs to find a consistent goalscorer. But Sofien Moussa seems like a bit of a handful, has already started scoring goals and could fit the bill if McCann can keep him healthy and hungry. August targets: With Julen Etxabeguren still out injured and James McPake being a long-term absentee, Dundee possibly need to add one more defender. In: Glen Kamara, midfielder (Arsenal); Randy Wolters, midfielder (Go Ahead Eagles); Sofien Moussa, forward (Lokomotiv Gorna); Jack Hendry, defender (Wigan Athletic); Lewis Spence, midfielder (Dunfermline Athletic); Elliot Parish, goalkeeper (Accrington Stanley); Roarie Deacon, midfielder (Sutton United). Loan: Scott Allan, midfielder (Celtic). Out: Rory Loy, forward (Falkirk); Kevin Gomis, defender; Nick Ross, midfielder; Daniel Higgins, defender (Kilmarnock); Yordi Teijsse, forward (Quick Boys); David Mitchell, goalkeeper (Falkirk); Josh Skelly, forward (Arbroath); Matty Allan, defender (Montrose); Calvin Colquhoun, midfielder; Kyle Clark, midfielder. Loan ended: Henrik Ojamaa, forward (Go Ahead Eagles). Loan: Conor Quigley, defender (Forfar Athletic); Ian Smith, forward (Edinburgh City). Manager: Neil McCann (appointed April 2017) Last season: 10th Clive's prediction: 8th. Sofien Moussa will find the Premiership harder going than the League Cup, but his five goals in four games so far suggest the Tunisian striker could be the man to keep Dundee clear of relegation trouble. Preston's report card: Hamilton's philosophy is to develop players, promote them to their first team and sell them on. They might get relegated as a result, but their philosophy does not change. They believe they have 20-25 youngsters behind the scenes that have a chance to break through and that's why they have only made two signings so far this summer. Key signing: Central defender Xavier Tomas is an unknown quantity, but Ryan Fulton is a young Scottish goalkeeper they have high hopes for - and, if Hamilton are going to stay in the Premiership, they need a goalkeeper who is consistently good. August targets: With captain Michael Devlin, a terrific player, being out long term, they might look to bring in another defender. In: Xavier Tomas, defender (Lausanne-Sport, undisclosed); Ryan Fulton, goalkeeper (Liverpool). Out: Gramoz Kurtaj, midfielder (SHB-Da Nang); Blair Adams, defender (Hartlepool United); Craig Watson, defender (East Fife); Jack Breslin, defender (Clyde); Richard Roy, forward (Broughty Ferry); Alex D'Acol, forward; Jesus Garcia Tena, defender; Danny Seaborne, defender. Loan ended: Remi Matthews, goalkeeper (Norwich City). Manager: Martin Canning (appointed January 2015) Last season: 11th Clive's prediction: 12th. With just about every club strengthening this summer, Accies will be doing well to avoid automatic relegation unless a few gems emerge quickly from their lauded youth system to save them. Preston's report card: Hearts have recruited players of undeniable ability, with Christophe Berra, Kyle Lafferty and Rafal Grzelak being current internationals. I worry about the lack of pace in their defence, but the nucleus of the squad is good. What they lacked under Ian Cathro was a manager who is able to motivate them. Key signing: It is a big season for Kyle Lafferty. With Northern Ireland looking to qualify for the World Cup finals, the striker needs to be playing regularly and scoring goals. Remaining targets: Hearts need someone with experience to challenge Jack Hamilton. The young man will be a good goalkeeper, but he has been struggling in a struggling team and I believe Hearts are looking at bringing in Freddie Woodman, who did well with Kilmarnock last season, on loan from Newcastle. With Jamie Walker not playing amid doubts about his future at the club, they also need a wide player. In: Kyle Lafferty, forward (Norwich City); Christophe Berra, defender (Ipswich Town); Rafal Grzelak, defender (Korona Kielce); Michael Smith, defender (Peterborough United, nominal); Cole Stockton, forward (Tranmere Rovers). Loan: Connor Randall, midfielder (Liverpool); Ashley Smith-Brown, defender (Manchester City). Out: Ian Cathro, head coach: Bjorn Johnsen, forward (ADO Den Haag, undisclosed); Callum Paterson, defender (Cardiff City, undisclosed); Perry Kitchen, midfielder (Randers); Sam Nicholson, midfielder (Minnesota United); Faycal Rherras, defender (Mechelen); Gavin Reilly, forward (St Mirren); Billy King, midfielder (Dundee United); Robbie Buchanan, forward (Cowdenbeath); Alexandros Tziolis, midfielder; Andraz Struna, defender; Tasos Avlonitis, defender; Juwon Oshaniwa, defender; Dylan Bikey, forward; Dale Baxter, midfielder. Loan ended: Moha Choulay, midfielder (Stoke City). Loan: Nikolay Todorov, forward (Livingston); Ally Roy, forward (Dumbarton); Harry Paton, midfielder (Stenhousemuir); Andrew Irving, midfielder (Berwick Rangers); Callum Morrison, midfielder (Stirling Albion). Head coach (interim): Jon Daly (appointed August 2017) Last season: 5th Clive's prediction: 7th. Much will depend on who comes in to replace Ian Cathro - and how quickly. But being forced to play so many games at the start of the season away from home because of the new Tynecastle stand may be enough of a handicap from which they never fully recover. Preston's report card: Hibs have signed well this summer and brought in the likes of Steven Whittaker, a versatile player with international pedigree. Neil Lennon's problem will be deciding what his best 11 is. Key signing: It will be interesting to see if Simon Murray can prove himself at Premiership level. The former Dundee United striker has certainly hit the ground running in the League Cup. August targets: Bringing Anthony Stokes, another quality striker, back to the club will be the final piece of the jigsaw for Lennon. In: Vykintas Slivka, midfielder (Juventus, undisclosed); Efe Ambrose, defender (Celtic); Ofir Marciano, goalkeeper (Ashdod, undisclosed); Danny Swanson, midfielder (St Johnstone); Deivydas Matulevicius, forward (Royal Mouscron); Steven Whittaker, defender (Norwich City); Anthony Stokes, forward (Blackburn Rovers); Simon Murray, forward (Dundee United). Out: Jason Cummings, forward (Nottingham Forest, undisclosed); James Keatings, forward (Dundee United); Fraser Fyvie, midfielder (Dundee United); Chris Humphrey, midfielder (Bury); Jordon Forster, defender (Cheltenham Town); Alex Harris, midfielder (Falkirk); Danny Handling, forward (Dumbarton); Scott Gallacher, goalkeeper (Dumbarton); Aaron Dunsmore, defender (Elgin City); Grant Holt, forward; Brian McLean, defender; Jamie Insall, forward. Loan: Sam Stanton, midfielder (Dundee United); Callum Donaldson, defender (Berwick Rangers); Kevin Waugh, defender (Berwick Rangers); Lewis Allan, forward (Edinburgh City); Sean Mackie, defender (Edinburgh City). Head coach: Neil Lennon (June 2016) Last season: 1st, Championship Clive's prediction: 4th. Even Rangers found the transition from Championship title winners to top-six contenders difficult last season, but Hibs have already shown they can compete with the best in cup ties last term and have added some players of undoubted quality. Preston's report card: Kilmarnock now have a proper manager in place with Lee McCulloch and he has recruited some good experience in Kirk Broadfoot and fellow defender Gordon Greer, who will be an excellent signing if he can play enough at the age of 36 on a 3G pitch that saps your legs. Key signing: It was a surprise that Motherwell let Dom Thomas go. The winger maybe got the jolt he needed by being sent out on loan to Queen of the South and has been on fire at the start of the season. August targets: Killie need someone to play up front along with Kris Boyd and play in behind him. They had Conor Sammon last season on loan and might hope they can get him again from Hearts. I expect they will also hope young defender Kristoffer Ajer returns on loan from Celtic. In: Chris Burke, midfielder (Ross County); Gordon Greer, defender (Blackburn Rovers); Kirk Broadfoot, defender (Rotherham United); Lee Erwin, forward (Leeds United); Cammy Bell, goalkeeper (Dundee United); Alex Samizadeh, forward (Bolton Wanderers); Dom Thomas, midfielder (Motherwell); Stephen O'Donnell, defender (Luton Town); Calum Waters, defender (Alloa Athletic); Daniel Higgins, defender (Dundee); Alan Power, midfielder (Lincoln City). Out: Aaron Splaine, midfielder (Dunfermline Athletic); Lewis Morrison, forward (St Mirren); Dapo Kayode, defender; Jack Whittaker, midfielder (Cowdenbeath); Jamie Cobain, defender. Loan ended: Kristoffer Ajer, midfielder (Celtic); Conor Sammon, forward (Hearts); Josh Umerah, forward (Charlton Athletic). Manager: Lee McCulloch (appointed January 2016) Last season: 8th Clive's prediction: 6th. Lee McCulloch has added some old heads to his squad that can only suggest a higher league position than last season. Preston's report card: Motherwell have lost the leadership of Keith Lasley in midfield as he has turned to coaching and will hope that their summer additions have also plugged a weakness in central defence after taking a couple of hammerings last season. But Stephen Robinson has signed some decent players and they have had a good League Cup campaign. Key signing: Chris Cadden can provide from midfield and Louis Moult can score, so the most important thing for Motherwell this summer is to hold on to both. Aberdeen made an attempt to buy Moult and it is imperative that Motherwell keep him if they are to have a reasonable season. August targets: With the departure of Scott McDonald, I imagine they will be looking for another striker to play alongside Moult. In: Cedric Kipre, defender (Leicester City); Ellis Plummer, defender (Manchester City); Alex Fisher, forward (Inverness Caledonian Thistle); Russell Griffiths, goalkeeper (Everton); Craig Tanner, midfielder (Reading); Gael Bigirimana, midfielder (Coventry City); Andy Rose, midfielder (Coventry City); Charles Dunne, defender (Oldham Athletic); Trevor Carson, goalkeeper (Hartlepool United); George Newell, forward (Bolton Wanderers); Dylan King, defender (Oldham Athletic); Liam Brown, midfielder (Queen's Park). Out: Dom Thomas, midfielder (Kilmarnock); Scott McDonald, forward (Dundee United); Craig Samson, goalkeeper (St Mirren); Lionel Ainsworth, midfielder (Plymouth Argyle); Joe Chalmers, defender (Inverness Caledonian Thistle); Keith Lasley, midfielder (retired); Craig Clay, midfielder (Leyton Orient); Dylan Mackin, forward (Livingston); Craig Moore, forward (Ayr United); David Ferguson, midfielder (Ayr United); James McFadden, forward; Stephen Pearson, midfielder; Lee Lucas, midfielder; Tom Fry, midfielder; Jordan Pettigrew, goalkeeper. Loan ended: Zak Jules, defender (Reading); Oliver Pain, goalkeeper (Sunderland). Manager: Stephen Robinson (appointed March 2017) Last season: 9th Clive's prediction: 10th. Northern Irishman Stephen Robinson has built a little English enclave at Fir Park as he has recruited from leagues down south he knows best. League Cup results suggest his side have improved, but they might just find that others have improved more. Preston's report card: Thistle have been relatively quiet in the transfer market, but Alan Archibald still has the nucleus of a very good squad. He has brought in Jordan Turnbull, who is a very good footballer, from Coventry City, while Blair Spittal has started the season well having lost his way in a struggling Dundee United side. Key signing: Liam Lindsay has gone to Barnsley, but he is a different kind of player to Turnbull. Lindsay is a strong centre-half, but Turnbull is a lovely passer of the ball. August targets: Thistle have lost Mustapha Dumbuya for several months through injury, so another right-back was Archibald's priority and he has brought in Milan Nitriansky, who last played with Bohemians 1905 in the Czech top flight. In: Milan Nitriansky, defender (Bohemians 1905); Niall Keown, defender (Reading, undisclosed); Blair Spittal, midfielder (Dundee United); Jamie Sneddon, goalkeeper (Cowdenbeath). Loan: Jordan Turnbull, defender (Coventry City). Out: Liam Lindsay, defender (Barnsley, undisclosed); Mark Ridgers, goalkeeper (Inverness Caledonian Thistle); Ade Azeez, forward (Cambridge United); David Amoo, midfielder (Cambridge United); David Wilson, midfielder (Dumbarton); Michael McMullin, defender (Albion Rovers); Dominic Docherty, midfielder (Queen's Park); Matthew McInally, defender (Cowdenbeath); Sean Welsh, midfielder; Conor Cullen, goalkeeper; Jamie Hall, midfielder; Struan Herd, goalkeeper. Loan ended: Jason Banton, midfielder (Crawley Town). Manager: Alan Archibald (appointed January 2013) Last season: 6th Clive's prediction: 11th. Archibald's Thistle defied predictions last season with a top-six finish, but the margins between sixth and bottom six were so fine that the Maryhill mob might find they are in a struggle at the bottom again due to their inferior playing budget. Preston's report card: Pedro Caixinha has had a massive turnover of players and Ryan Jack is a good signing. Although Rangers have paid money for them, I am not sure what some of the foreign players will bring, especially when it comes to a cold November night in Dingwall. Key signing: Bruno Alves should be a positive influence because of his class and standing in the game, although the Portugal centre-half is 35 years old now. August targets: Rangers have shown interest in Aberdeen's Kenny McLean and Hearts' Jamie Walker and might pursue those. Meanwhile, Kenny Miller is like old father time and just keeps going, but Rangers need a striker capable of taking over from him as they can't keep relying on a 37-year-old if new signings Alfredo Morelos and Eduardo Herrera can't displace him. In: Bruno Alves, defender (Cagliari, undisclosed); Graham Dorrans, midfielder (Norwich City, undisclosed); Alfredo Morelos, forward (HJK Helsinki, undisclosed); Ryan Jack, midfielder (Aberdeen); Fabio Cardoso, defender (Vitoria Setubal, undisclosed); Daniel Candeias, midfielder (Benfica, undisclosed); Carlos Pena, midfielder (Guadalajara, undisclosed); Eduardo Herrera, forward (Pumas, undisclosed). Loan: Dalcio, midfielder (Benfica). Out: Barrie McKay, midfielder (Nottingham Forest, £500,000); Joe Garner, forward (Ipswich Town, undisclosed); Rob Kiernan, defender (Southend United, undisclosed); Matt Crooks, midfielder (Northampton Town, undisclosed); Billy Gilmour, midfielder (Chelsea, undisclosed); Philippe Senderos, defender; Clint Hill, defender; Max Ashmore, midfielder; Jordan Gibson, forward; Amin Bouzaig, forward; Sam Jamieson, forward; Josh Jeffries, midfielder. Loan ended: Emerson Hyndman, midfielder (Bournemouth); Jon Toral, midfielder (Arsenal). Loan: Andy Halliday, midfielder (Gabala), Michael O'Halloran, midfielder (St Johnstone); Robby McCrorie, goalkeeper (Berwick Rangers); Kyle Bradley, defender (Clyde). Manager: Pedro Caixinha (appointed March 2017) Last season: 3rd Clive's prediction: 2nd. With the amount of money Pedro Caixinha has been allowed to spend this summer, the Portuguese coach will find his position untenable unless Rangers finish second and narrow the gap between themselves and prospective champions Celtic. But they will face a tough fight to even wrest the runners-up spot from Aberdeen. Preston's report card: Ross County had a decent end to last season but have now lost the league's top scorer after Liam Boyce was sold to Burton Albion. We know Dingwall's not the end of the earth, but people down south seem to think it is and County often have to pay more to persuade players to go there, but they have managed to sign Billy Mckay as a replacement. Key signing: County will hope that Mckay can rediscover the form he showed in his first spell with Inverness after less productive times at Wigan, Dundee United and back at Caley Thistle. August targets: Mckay is a different type of striker to fellow Northern Ireland international Boyce and is more of a runner, so County might also look to bring in someone with more physical presence in central midfield to compensate. In: Billy Mckay, forward (Wigan Athletic, undisclosed); Thomas Mikkelsen, forward (Odense); Sean Kelly, defender (AFC Wimbledon); Jim O'Brien, midfielder (Shrewsbury Town, loan to permanent); Tom Grivosti, defender (Bolton Wanderers). Loan: Jamie Lindsay, midfielder (Celtic). Out: Liam Boyce, forward (Burton Albion, undisclosed); Chris Burke, midfielder (Kilmarnock); Ian McShane, midfielder (St Mirren); Chris McLaughlin, defender (Dumbarton); David Brownlie, defender (Airdrieonians); Paul Quinn, defender; Jay McEveley, defender; Jonathan Franks, forward; Oscar Gobern, midfielder; Matt Hall, defender. Loan ended: Milan Lalkovic, midfielder (Portsmouth). Loan: Mark Foden, goalkeeper (Stirling Albion). Manager: Jim McIntyre (appointed September 2014) Last season: 7th Clive's prediction: 8th. Without chief marksman Liam Boyce, who was the Premiership's top scorer last season with 23 goals, County will find it more difficult to avoid the battle against relegation. Preston's report card: Tommy Wright will hope to again keep St Johnstone in the top six with a minimum of squad changes. Saints will miss Danny Swanson for his goals and ability on the ball, but they will hope that new signing Stefan Scougall can provide that from midfield. Key signing: Bringing Michael O'Halloran back from Rangers is a good piece of business considering three or four other clubs were interested and it would be a surprise if he was not back scoring goals now that he is under Wright's wing again. August targets: Steven Anderson is getting on in age and I would imagine Saints would be looking to bring in another centre-half as cover, or someone who can fill in across the back. In: Stefan Scougall, midfielder (Sheffield United); Callum Hendry, forward (Blackburn Rovers); Kyle McClean, midfielder (Nottingham Forest); Scott Tanser, defender (Port Vale). Loan: Michael O'Halloran, midfielder (Rangers). Out: Danny Swanson, midfielder (Hibernian); Tam Scobbie, defender (Dundee United); Connor McLaren, forward (Montrose); George Hunter, forward; Eoghan McCawl, midfielder. Loan: Greg Hurst, forward (East Fife). Manager: Tommy Wright (appointed June 2013) Last season: 4th Clive's prediction: 5th. St Johnstone keep punching above their weight, but yet another season finishing fourth might just be beyond them thanks to the return of Hibs. About 200kg (440lb) of "high-purity" cocaine was found in holdalls in the boot of a white taxi on the A1089 near Tilbury Docks at 02:00 BST on Tuesday. The men were charged with conspiracy to import and supply controlled drugs. They have been remanded in custody to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday. The charged men are: Officers from the Met's Special Intelligence Section (SIS) and Essex Police stopped a white van close to the docks and arrested the driver and a passenger. More men were then found hiding in undergrowth nearby. Konta, ranked 97th, converted her sixth match point to win 7-6 (7-2) 6-3 and take her winning streak to 16 matches. The 24-year-old British number two had never been past the second round at a Grand Slam before this week. She next faces two-time Wimbledon champion and fourth seed Petra Kvitova in the last 16 on Monday. "It's all a progression," said Konta. "I feel like I've been playing a good level of tennis all year. "It's always a confidence boost when you get to play against the best players in the world." It took two service games and six match points to see it out, but Konta again had too much for a player ranked well above her. "It was definitely tough because, even if she's not feeling her best, she's one of the best competitors on the tour," said Konta. "She definitely didn't give it to me, as you can tell from the last three games." When Petkovic, swathed in ice towels, took a medical timeout during the second set, it was clear her challenge was fading. The damage had already been done, however, after Konta deservedly took a tight first set of six service breaks in the tie-break. She had recovered from dropping serve at the start of the match and attacked the vulnerable Petkovic forehand. Poor service games from the Briton at 4-3 and 6-5 suggested the nerves with which she has coped so well in New York were fluttering, but from 0-2 down she reeled off seven straight points in a superb tie-break. Petkovic, now wearing a visor despite relatively kind conditions, was clearly struggling when she dropped serve early in the second, and slipped further behind after having her blood pressure taken at 0-3. Konta came agonisingly close to victory with three match points at 5-1, but converted her second chance to serve it out after one hour and 56 minutes. After losing to Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon, Konta racked up 10 victories while winning two challenger titles in Canada, three in US Open qualifying and now three in the main draw. She is the first British woman to reach the fourth round at a Grand Slam since Laura Robson made the same stage at Flushing Meadows three years ago. Another victory would make her Britain's first female Slam quarter-finalist since Jo Durie at Wimbledon in 1984. Winning sixteen matches in a row is something most professional tennis players will never experience, bearing in mind it takes five or six to win most tournaments. Konta recorded 10 wins while claiming two titles on the lower challenger tour after Wimbledon, although Vancouver is at the upper end of that scale and not far off WTA quality. She then won three matches in qualifying, and now three in the main draw. Konta has now guaranteed herself at least £141,000 for reaching the fourth round - more than four times her previous biggest pay cheque. She is also set to take a significant climb in the world rankings from her current position of 97, with a current projection of around 58th should she end her run in round four. That is likely to leave her tantalisingly close to the British number one spot, with Heather Watson expected to be around 56th when the new rankings are released after the US Open.

His departure follows a turbulent time for Police Scotland. Sir Stephen, 57, had been criticised for the force's expansion of its stop and search policy and failings related to a fatal crash on the M9. Three people are vying for the job, two Police Scotland staff, Neil Richardson and Iain Livingstone, and Phil Gormley from the National Crime Agency. During Sir Stephen's tenure, crime has continued to fall and detection rates have risen. He also made it his priority to tackle domestic abuse and has been praised by campaigners for bringing the issue to the fore. Mhiari McGowan, who is head of independent domestic abuse advocacy project Assist, told BBC Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: "He isn't the only police officer that took domestic abuse seriously, but what he did do was give strategic leadership and give a systematic approach. "He insisted that every officer treated domestic abuse seriously and that has had a huge positive affect on thousands and thousands of victims across Scotland." Previously, as the chief constable of Strathclyde Police he oversaw the complex amalgamation in 2013 of Scotland's eight regional police forces into the single national force - the second largest in the UK. Since then, he oversaw successes such as the policing of last year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. But Sir Stephen - who is who is leaving nine months before his contract ends - was criticised over his decision to allow armed officers to attend routine incidents, as well as the force's policy on stopping and searching juveniles. The force also came under pressure over its response to the M9 crash in July, in which John Yuill and his partner Lamara Bell died, after it took three days for officers to respond to reports of their car going off the road near Stirling. Sir Stephen had previously indicated he was likely to stand down when his four-year contract expired in September next year. Police Scotland told the BBC his successor was expected to be announced this week. Danish police also closed a motorway between the two countries when some asylum seekers began walking north after being forced off a train. They say their destination is Sweden. As the EU struggles with a major migrant crisis, the European Commission has proposed that 120,000 additional asylum seekers should be shared out between members, using binding quotas. Denmark's DSB rail operator said trains to and from Germany had been suspended for an indefinite period because of exceptional passport checks. Two trains carrying more than 200 migrants are being held in Rodby, a major port with ferry links to Germany. Danish police say many migrants are refusing to leave the trains because they do not want to be registered in Denmark. Police also closed part of the E45 motorway - the main road link between Germany and Denmark - after about 300 migrants left another train and set off on foot towards Sweden near the border town of Padborg. Sweden has become a top destination for refugees after it promised to issue residency papers to all Syrian asylum seekers. Denmark's new centre-right government has promised to get tough on immigration. Since its election in June it has slashed benefits for new arrivals and restricted the right to residency. About 3,000 migrants have entered the country since the weekend. Prime Minister Lars Lokke-Rasmussen said Denmark was under pressure as asylum seekers arrive on their way to Sweden. "This clearly shows that what we are facing right now is not only a refugee problem, it is also a migration problem," he said. A surge of migrants fleeing conflict and hardship in Africa and the Middle East has pushed north through Europe over the past few weeks. Many of those escaping the civil war in Syria have travelled from Turkey across the sea to Greece, through Macedonia and Serbia, and then to Hungary from where they aim to reach northern Europe. On Wednesday European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced plans for a "swift, determined and comprehensive" response through a quota system. In a "state of the union" annual address, he said tackling the crisis was "a matter of humanity and human dignity". Among Mr Juncker's proposals: "It's 160,000 refugees in total that Europeans have to take into their arms and I really hope that this time everyone will be on board," Mr Juncker told the European Parliament. The new plans would relocate 60% of those now in Italy, Greece and Hungary to Germany, France and Spain. The numbers allocated to each country would depend on GDP, population, unemployment rate and asylum applications already processed. Countries refusing to take in migrants could face financial penalties. 14 Sept: Special meeting of EU interior ministers on refugee crisis, with Juncker proposals on agenda 15-16 Oct: EU leaders' summit, with refugee crisis high on agenda. European Parliament then to decide on any new asylum measures with EU governments Early 2016: EU proposals for better management of legal migration to EU due Can the EU overcome rifts? What next for Germany's asylum seekers? What can the EU do to solve the crisis? Nine key moments in crisis Spain on Wednesday said it would accept a quota of almost 15,000 extra migrants migrants set by the EU. However, Mr Juncker's proposals was criticised by both the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said compulsory quotas were "not a good solution", while his Slovak counterpart called them "irrational". France welcomed the first of 1,000 migrants it has pledged to take from Germany, having committed to receive 24,000 migrants over two years. Germany has welcomed Syrian migrants, waiving EU rules and saying it expects to deal with 800,000 asylum seekers this year alone - though not all will qualify as refugees and some will be sent back. 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. Geneticist and cell biologist Sir Paul Nurse succeeds Baroness Hale, who has held the role since 2004. Sir Paul said it was "one of the UK's great universities" and he "felt very honoured to be asked". The former President of the Royal Society will be installed as chancellor on 22 March, during a special ceremony. Sir Paul was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2001 for his work on the discovery of molecules that regulate the cell cycle. "It is one of the UK's great universities, both in terms of its world-leading research and also its teaching," he said. "With the recent announcements about its new campus and ambitious plans outlined in its new strategy, it's an exciting time to be involved." The University of Bristol is planning to build a new £300m campus in the city centre due to open in 2021-22. Vice-chancellor Prof Hugh Brady said having Sir Paul as chancellor was a "huge honour" for the university. "His appointment could not have come at a more opportune time, as we look forward to the next step in our University's development," he said. Previous chancellors of Bristol University include Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Jeremy Morse, the inspiration for Inspector Morse. Mercedes claimed Red Bull's Verstappen drove "erratically and in a dangerous manner" in contravention of rules in the move on the penultimate lap. The protest was lodged at 18:27 local time. At 19:12 it was scheduled to be heard at the next race in America. At 19:50, governing body the FIA announced Mercedes had withdrawn it. A spokesman for Mercedes said the decision had been made "once it became clear it would be dragged out to Austin, in the interests of establishing a final result this evening". Earlier, Hamilton had posted on Twitter: "There is no protest from either myself or Mercedes. One idiot said we have but it's not true." The tweet was later deleted. He later added on Twitter: "There is no protest from myself. Just heard the team had but I told them it is not what we do. We are champions, we move on. End of!" His remarks are a reference to the fact Mercedes tied up a third consecutive constructors' championship title in Japan, following Nico Rosberg's win and Hamilton's third place. Hamilton said over the radio after the move: "Verstappen moved under braking." The drivers have a gentleman's agreement that they will not change direction in the braking zone, although it is not outlawed. The protest is under article 27.5 of the sporting regulations, which states: "At no time may a car be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person." The protest says Verstappen's driving "forced [Hamilton] to take evasive action". Verstappen, who was spoken to about the incident by F1 director Charlie Whiting after the race, waited in the middle of the track before moving to defend only when he saw which side Hamilton was going to attack. It is the same behaviour with which he upset Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen during the Hungarian Grand Prix in July. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said: "We know now Max moves under braking but it is not for me to judge." Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said he felt the move was "hard but fair". England Boxing said in a statement it is trying to find a solution and could move it to Wakefield in Yorkshire. But it added: "Our top priority must be the safety of our members." Superintendent Will Schofield said police had shared "intelligence relating to ongoing investigations that may have an impact on this event". "It was agreed by all parties that the event should be cancelled," added Supt Schofield, of Hampshire Police. England Boxing said police had told it "virtually nothing beyond the fact that the threat is serious and includes a threat to life". It added that police had warned them that releasing further details "might also put people at risk". The statement described the cancellation of the event, due to be held at the Mountbatten Centre on Saturday and Sunday, as a "tragedy" for the young boxers scheduled to fight and the financial loss to clubs. "The fact that anyone might want to endanger life at a boxing event is beyond our understanding and if it's true it is disgraceful," added the statement. Stead, 34, joined the Magpies from Bradford in 2015 but nearly left the League Two club for the US in January. He stayed at Notts County following Alan Hardy's takeover and Kevin Nolan's appointment as manager, but his future is again in doubt with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. "I've got to go with where my heart tells me," he said. Stead has dismissed offers from other English clubs and will decide at the end of the season between a potential extension at Meadow Lane and moving to America. "If you'd asked me in January I knew exactly where I wanted to go, but since the new owner and the gaffer have come in I've absolutely loved working here," he told BBC Radio Nottingham. "I'm still not sure. I have days when I wake up and I think I want to be on a plane and I have days when I want to be back here next season. "I'm torn 50/50. We'll have discussions and I'll have to sit down again with my family. It'll probably wait until the end of the season." The Championship club have rejected an offer from Premier League Norwich City for the former Arsenal forward, 22, who has scored three goals in four games so far this season. "We're not looking to sell any of our players," Jackett told BBC WM 95.6. "It's not a situation where we're looking to move players in or out." Afobe joined Wolves from Arsenal in January and has scored 16 times in 25 appearances for the Molineux side. That return has thrust him into the spotlight and triggered debate over his potential future, with the Canaries the first club to make a firm bid. But Wolves issued a statement on Wednesday outlining their position, saying neither Afobe "nor any of Wolves' first team forward players, will be sold this season," adding that Afobe had become a "key" player in their plans for this season. Afobe netted Wolves' opening goal in Wednesday's 3-2 home defeat by Queens Park Rangers and Jackett is adamant he will not be negatively affected by the talk about his future. "No, he'll be flattered by the speculation," Jackett said. "He'll concentrate on his Wolves career and scoring goals for us." The trust plans to create a new car park with more than 100 spaces and public toilets on the area next the A855 Portree-Staffin road. The Storr, among Skye's best known landscapes, was visited by about 150,000 people last year. Highland Council has been asked to sell the land, which is valued at £1,000. A fee would be charged for use of the new car park. The lack of public toilets in the area has raised public health concerns in the local community, prompting the plan to build toilets at the car park. The community trust has has lodged an asset transfer request, which forms part of Community Empowerment legislation introduced in January by the Scottish government. Police Scotland said the 20-year-old woman was attacked at the rear of the gallery at about 20:00 on Monday. Officers have taped off an area near a walkway in nearby Kelvingrove Park. Police said there was no information available at this time about the condition of the woman or a description of her attacker. The articles caused a storm of protest in Britain: the Russians were claiming journalists and editors at the Sunday Times, the Observer, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail and the BBC worked directly with MI6. The Soviets' evidence for all this? A cache of documents they claimed were MI6 memos, and which looked to have been photographed with a miniature spy camera. One showed a table listing each publication, the journalist or editor MI6 had as its contact there, their codename and the codename of their MI6 "handler". Another discussed the procedure for the BBC to broadcast prearranged tunes or sentences that could be used by MI6 officers in the field to prove they were acting on behalf of the British government. At the time, the claims were dismissed as nonsense by all the newspapers and journalists concerned. The head of the BBC's External Service - later renamed the World Service - called the articles "a fantastic example of secret police propaganda". It is true that during WWII the BBC had broadcast coded messages to British secret agents behind enemy lines, and that some journalists had worked with MI6 in producing propaganda. But could such activities have really continued into the post-war peacetime period? When examined by BBC Radio 4's Document programme, the format, language and tone of the documents all rang true, but establishing whether they were genuine was not simple: MI6 never discusses its operations or declassifies files and all the people named are dead. But a clear consensus emerged among espionage historians and former correspondents contacted by the programme: despite all the denials, the memos were genuine. "These are genuine MI6 documents," says Stephen Dorril, author of a history of MI6, adding that former MI6 officer Anthony Cavendish had told him before his death that the organisation used journalists in the Cold War. A clue as to how the Russians got hold of them lay in the date of one of the documents - September 1959. The memos were most likely passed to the Soviets by George Blake, a KGB agent working within MI6, Mr Dorril believes. At the time, Blake was often the night duty officer at MI6 headquarters in London, and he would roam the corridors with his Minox camera photographing every file he could find, before passing the films to his KGB controller. Prof Christopher Andrew, MI5's official historian and an expert in Soviet espionage techniques, suggested an even more intriguing theory. Blake might have originally photographed the documents and passed them over, but the Russians could then have consulted the greatest double agent of all time, Kim Philby, about how they should be used. Before he had defected to Moscow in 1963, Philby had been under suspicion by MI6 and had been working part-time as a journalist for the Observer and the Economist in Beirut. Philby had been employed at the Observer by the paper's editor, David Astor - who was one of those named by the Soviet press as an MI6 asset. Mr Astor always denied he was a member of MI6, but the circumstances which led to him being named suggest Philby's involvement. "What Philby was very good at was identifying those things which would be, from the point of view of the British public, the most effective propaganda," Prof Andrew said. Izvestia's allegations created a brief media storm in the UK in late 1968, but the denials were effective enough that the charges made little impact on how the British public viewed Fleet Street. Radio 4: Document But at least some of the journalists and editors named by the Russians did have links with MI6. Phillip Knightley, the Sunday Times journalist, said it was well known among the press pack that his colleague Henry Brandon, who was named by Izvestia, worked for MI6. Mr Knightley also said that one of the others named by the Soviets, the Daily Telegraph's managing editor Roy Pawley, had arranged journalistic cover for MI6 officers. He said Mr Pawley was "notorious" in Fleet Street for his MI6 connection. The historian and biographer Sir Alistair Horne also confirmed to Document that he had run three agents for MI6 while working for the Daily Telegraph in Germany in the 1950s, and that Mr Pawley had been aware of his role. "A whole new generation has the impression the Cold War wasn't serious," Mr Horne told Document. "For those of us who lived through it, it was. We felt we were at war." The BBC's official historian Jean Seaton said the claim that the BBC had broadcast prearranged messages during the post-war period was "very plausible". The Soviets naturally put the worst slant possible on the memos, but in the main they were telling the truth: during the Cold War, MI6 did have a network of journalists and editors embedded in the British press. According to Stephen Dorril, the documents offer a rare glimpse into the workings of MI6, and open up a new field of research. "We really need to go back and look in detail at some of the key events of the Cold War," he says. "Look at the newspapers, see what was planted, who were the journalists, and what was it they were trying to put out and say to the British public." Document will be broadcast on Monday 4 March at 20:00 GMT on BBC Radio 4. It will be the first tournament after the expansion from 32 teams to 48 and, if successful, would be the first time a World Cup has been shared by three hosts. The proposal would be for the USA to host 60 matches, with 10 games each in Canada and Mexico. The decision on who will host the event will be made in 2020. That is three years later than originally scheduled because of corruption allegations surrounding the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar. The USA staged the 1994 World Cup, which had the highest average attendance in the tournament's history, while Mexico was the first nation to host the event twice, in 1970 and 1986. Canada hosted the 2015 women's World Cup. US President Donald Trump has promised to build a border wall between the USA and Mexico but Sunil Gulati, president of the US Soccer Federation, said Trump is "supportive" of the bid and had "encouraged" it. "The United States, Mexico and Canada have individually demonstrated their exceptional abilities to host world-class events," added Gulati. "When our nations come together as one - as we will for 2026 - there is no question the United States, Mexico and Canada will deliver an experience that will celebrate the game and serve players, supporters and partners alike." European and Asian countries cannot bid for the 2026 World Cup due to world governing body Fifa's rotation policy, which means the previous two host confederations - Europe in 2018 and Asia in 2022 - are excluded. The new-look tournament will begin with an initial round of 16 three-team groups, with 32 qualifiers going through to the knockout stage.

It means Monday was the deadliest day for Philippine troops since President Rodrigo Duterte was elected in May. Abu Sayyaf is one of the smallest and most violent jihadist groups in the southern Philippines. Its name means "bearer of the sword" and it is notorious for kidnappings and attacking civilians and the army. Who are the Abu Sayyaf group? The Islamic State threat in South East Asia An army spokesman was quoted by Inquirer.net as saying that the soldiers were killed while fighting about 70 Abu Sayyaf fighters near the southern city of Barangay Maligaya. At least five soldiers were wounded in Monday's fighting. President Duterte ordered troops to eradicate Abu Sayyaf militants last week after they beheaded a kidnapped villager whose family was too impoverished to pay a ransom. Officials said Monday's troop losses came after the army killed about 21 Abu Sayyaf gunmen, including an influential commander, on Friday and Saturday in fighting triggered by the beheading. On Sunday eight Islamic militants linked to so-called Islamic State (IS) were freed from jail by at least 20 fighters from the Maute group who turned up at the Lanao del Sur jail in the southern city of Marawi to release them. The Maute group has carried out several bombings and kidnappings in the southern Mindanao region. The Philippines has faced separatist movements for decades in Mindanao, which is majority Muslim - the rest of the Philippines is mainly Roman Catholic. The Maute group carries the black flag and insignia of IS, and has attacked troops, beheaded a soldier and beheaded two local workers earlier this year. Several armed groups in the Philippines have pledged allegiance to IS, although the country's military says there is no evidence of active co-operation with foreign militants. The BBC has learned the former Liverpool manager, 43, met club representatives for several hours in Scotland on Wednesday. Earlier, Celtic's biggest individual shareholder Dermot Desmond said the club had interviewed "in excess of six" candidates. And the Irish businessman described the Northern Irishman as "a great manager". "We're excited about the managers we've interviewed and we've discussed," Desmond said. "Hopefully in the next few days we will decide, and enter negotiations." Media playback is not supported on this device Asked whether Rodgers was one of those interviewed, Desmond replied: "I can't tell a lie. "He's a great manager. He's proved it at Liverpool and I think he's a worthy candidate for Celtic - as all the other candidates are." Ronny Deila's two-year tenure at Celtic ended with Sunday's 7-0 win over Motherwell. Under the Norwegian, the club won consecutive Premiership titles, taking their current run of Scottish top-flight crowns to five, with the previous three won under Neil Lennon. However, they have not reached the group stages of the Champions League since Lennon's time in charge. Rodgers and Scottish former Celtic defender Malky Mackay, 44, have spoken to the club about the vacancy. Both started their managerial careers at Watford - Mackay had a spell in charge of Cardiff City, while Rodgers was at Reading and Swansea City before joining Liverpool. Mackay was sacked by Wigan Athletic six months before Rodgers was let go by Liverpool in October. Four other former Celtic players - David Moyes, Roy Keane, Paul Lambert and Lennon - as well as former West Brom boss Steve Clarke have also all been strongly linked with the job. Celtic had released a statement saying there was no preferred candidate and that they would take their time over the appointment. J W Ledford Jr has been taking a drug for nerve pain which his lawyers say may change his brain chemistry and expose him to "unconstitutional pain". Ledford was convicted of the 1992 murder of his neighbour. A judge dismissed his lawsuit on Friday but the lawyers say they will appeal. The execution is scheduled for Tuesday. The lawyers said in court papers that Ledford had taken the drug gabapentin for more than a decade. They cite experts who say long-term exposure to gabapentin alters the brain in such a way that the lethal injection drug pentobarbital cannot be relied upon to make him unconscious and devoid of sensation or feeling. "There is a substantial risk that Mr Ledford will be aware and in agony as the pentobarbital attacks his respiratory system, depriving his brain, heart, and lungs of oxygen as he drowns in his own saliva," the court papers said. They said this would violate Ledford's rights under the Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution, which prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment". However, the US Supreme Court requires that an alternative method of execution be offered. US death sentences fall to 40-year low Only three states allow for firing squad as an alternative to lethal injection - Mississippi, Oklahoma and Utah. Georgian law allows no alternative. Other methods of lethal injection are no longer available as manufacturers of many drugs have prohibited their use for capital punishment. This has led Ledford's lawyers to argue that his "dilemma illustrates why [the Supreme Court] standard is unworkable". Lawyers for the state of Georgia said there was "no substantial risk" of severe pain and questioned the timing of the lawsuit. "Plaintiff has waited until the eve of his execution to suddenly claim that he has been treated for pain with medication that will allegedly interfere with his execution," they said in court papers. "If plaintiff really thought the firing squad was a reasonable alternative he could have alerted the state years, instead of five days, before his execution." The National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) envisages a smart energy revolution with more cables linking the National Grid to mainland Europe. NIC also says the UK needs to store much more energy from intermittent renewable like wind and solar. Fridges, freezers and washing machines could play a part, they say. Experts believe it is the first step to a full-scale "Internet of Energy", with web-enabled home appliances like freezers and washing machines linked to the grid. Here's how it would work: At a time of peak demand, an energy firm's computer will contact your smart freezer to ask if power can be switched off for a few minutes to allow your neighbour to use some of the energy to cook dinner. Your well-insulated freezer will stay cold without electricity for a while, so it will agree to power down. You will be rewarded with a credit on your energy bill. Multiplied across thousands of homes, smart energy means the grid will need fewer power stations than it was planning to meet peak demand. The system is already operating with firms like the hotel chain Marriott, which allows its aircon systems to be switched off to save power when electricity demand peaks. The aircon stays cool because of the volume of cold water in it, so guests don't notice. On the other hand, at times the grid is awash with energy - at night, or when it's very windy or sunny. In these times of energy plenty, a computer will contact your web-enabled washing machine or dishwasher to ask if they want to turn on to benefit from cheap power. This is known as demand flexibility - and the infrastructure commission says it must be supported by government. Lord Adonis, chairman of the commission, said: "Our existing power stations are closing down and their replacements will be radically different as we de-carbonise supply to reduce emissions. "This represents an enormous challenge, but it leaves the UK uniquely placed to benefit from exciting innovations set to transform the global electricity market. "The UK can lead the world in harnessing these innovations. We do not call for new subsidies or significant public spending, but rather a level playing field through fairer regulation and a better managed network to allow these exciting new technologies to compete. "If we get this right, a Smart Power Revolution could save consumers £8bn a year." The commission wants to see more ideas for storing energy - like using liquid air or pumped hydro power. The commission's report will be welcomed by many in the energy industry. The head of the World Energy Council, Christophe Frei, told BBC News there would be two huge advances in energy in the 21st Century: solar power - and the internet. "Everyone knows about solar power," he said. "But people haven't yet grasped the transformative potential of information systems on the internet to maximize the efficient use of electricity." The new flexible systems adopt the approach laid out by the technology guru Amory Lovins decades ago. He proposed that a megawatt of energy saved - which he christened a NEGAwatt - should be rewarded just as highly as the power generated. Academics warn that the flexible energy revolution must be enabled because with the future need for cars powered by electricity and homes heated by electricity to save carbon emissions, the existing grid won't cope unless there is change. Professor Phil Taylor from Newcastle University said: "If you unravelled the National Grid it would stretch to the moon and back. We can't afford to renew it even if we wanted to." He said he welcomed the report, which may accelerate moves already in the system. The government has a working group on flexible demand, and the regulator Ofgem has forced electricity providers to show how they will roll out smart energy. "This report is progressive," he said. "It's the right way to go - delivering savings through flexibility rather than more infrastructure." A report for the commission by Goran Strbac from Imperial College concluded that if there's enough flexibility in the system, it can prove cheaper than nuclear power or carbon capture and storage technology. Follow Roger on Twitter @rharrabin A presidential source said Mr Macron's thinking did not "lend itself" to a question and answer session. The comments, quoted by Le Monde, are likely to be seized on by Mr Macron's critics who portray him as arrogant. Mr Macron had never stood for election before the presidential race. The former investment banker has enjoyed a meteoric political rise and his new party, La République en Marche (Republic on the Move), is set to dominate parliament. Bastille Day, on 14 July, marks the date in 1789 when a mob stormed a prison in Paris, helping to start the French Revolution. It is a long-standing tradition that the president will be interviewed by the press during the day, but it seems Mr Macron has other ideas. Le Monde quotes the source as saying that the president did not "baulk" at speaking to the media. However, "his 'complex thought process' lends itself badly to the game of question-and-answer with journalists", the paper notes. It is not clear exactly on which subjects Mr Macron felt his thoughts might bamboozle journalists. Needless to say, the reported remarks brought a strong response on social media. "Not-making-this-up dept: Macron doesn't do Q&A w/ journalists because his thoughts are much 'too complex'," tweeted Politico writer Pierre Briançon. "Infatuation with Macron is showing cracks," tweeted Paris-based writer Matthew Fraser. This year's Bastille Day has already attracted international attention after US President Donald Trump accepted an invitation to attend. Mr Macron has sharply criticised his US counterpart over his decision to pull out of the Paris climate accord. Their first meeting on 25 May in Brussels was notable for a handshake which saw them grip each other's hand so firmly that their knuckles turned white. Mr Macron later said the handshake was "not innocent". A senior Israeli official told the BBC that the claims, reported in the Wall Street Journal, were "utterly false". The Journal said the White House had been particularly angered that Israel allegedly sought to share confidential details with US lawmakers and others. Many Republicans in Congress are opposed to a deal with Iran. Earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the US Congress that a deal being discussed could "pave Iran's path to the bomb". The US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China are seeking an agreement to curtail Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief. They fear Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb - something Iran denies. Israel is not a party to the negotiations although it feels particularly threatened by the possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran. Israel's deep concerns about any emerging deal on Iran's nuclear programme are well known, as are the tensions this is placing on ties with the US administration. After Benjamin Netanyahu attacked President Obama's Iran policy in an address to the US Congress this month, the White House organised a series of snubs. It extended no invitation to the Israeli prime minister to meet Mr Obama in Washington and suggested the Israeli government was not trustworthy. There was also a leak about new limitations on intelligence sharing. Despite the strong denials from Mr Netanyahu's office this article will only add to strains with Israel's key ally. Outgoing Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has also dismissed the report as "incorrect and inaccurate". He told Army Radio: "Clearly, Israel has various security interests, and clearly we have our own intelligence. But we do not spy on the United States. There are enough participants involved in these negotiations, including Iranians, first and foremost." The sides aim to reach a framework deal by the end of March. According to the Journal, Israel began eavesdropping on the talks last year and also acquired information from confidential briefings with US officials and diplomatic contacts in Europe. The White House uncovered the operation, the report said, when US intelligence agencies spying on Israel intercepted messages among officials that could only have come from closed-door talks. But it was Israel's sharing of inside information with US lawmakers and others that particularly angered the White House, the report quoted an official as saying. "It is one thing for the US and Israel to spy on each other. It is another thing for Israel to steal US secrets and play them back to US legislators to undermine US diplomacy," the unnamed official said. A White House official told the BBC there was nothing to say on the matter at this time. Speaking to the BBC, a senior official in Mr Netanyahu's office said: "These allegations are utterly false. "The state of Israel does not conduct espionage against the United States or Israel's other allies. The false allegations are clearly intended to undermine the strong ties between the United States and Israel and the security and intelligence relationship we share." The report comes amid tense relations between the White House and Israel. Mr Netanyahu angered Washington in his recent re-election campaign when he said he would not allow a Palestinian state if he was returned to office. He later tempered his statement, saying he did want a two-state solution, but that "circumstances have to change". Guidolin, 60, was appointed in January on a six-month contract after Alan Curtis' temporary spell in charge, with the club in the relegation zone. The Italian has led them to 11th place - 12 points clear of the bottom three, and they could finish in the top half. "Francesco fully deserves the chance to continue his good work into the new campaign," chairman Huw Jenkins said. "He was prepared to come into the club at such a difficult time and put himself in a pressure situation with the club fighting for survival. "It's going to be another challenge for everyone, but we are looking forward to seeing how far he can take this squad of players over a full season. "There has obviously been a lot of speculation over recent weeks about a possible change of manager, but the board has been impressed with the way he has quietly gone about the job of improving performances and results since January." The Italian members of Guidolin's backroom staff, Gabriele Ambrosetti and Diego Bortoluzzi, have also been offered new contracts. Swansea - who host Manchester City in their final game on Sunday - won seven matches and drew three of Guidolin's 15 games in charge. The former Udinese and Monaco head coach had previously said he wanted to continue in the role but would only discuss his future once Swansea had ensured safety. Swansea had hovered above the Premier League relegation zone for long periods of the campaign, but the 3-1 win against Liverpool on 1 May ensured a sixth season in the top flight. In March Guidolin was taken to hospital hours before Swansea's 2-1 win at Arsenal and also missed the 1-0 win over Norwich after receiving treatment for a chest infection. Former Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers, ex-Chile manager Marcelo Bielsa and former Derby County manager Paul Clement had all been linked with the job. Rodgers - who left to manage Liverpool in 2012 - disclosed in January that he had been approached by Swansea to succeed Garry Monk, who was sacked in December. But the Northern Irishman said that he wanted to take a break from football until the summer. Americans Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien are in talks about taking a "controlling interest" in the club but chairman Jenkins had said a deal would not affect Swansea's managerial plans. The Oscar-winner made his name playing tough cowboys and heroic soldiers in films including The Alamo, True Grit and The Green Berets. But in a State Assembly vote several legislators objected to having a day commemorating his birthday due to his "disturbing views towards race". The resolution was lost by 36-19 votes. Republican State Assemblyman Matthew Harper had put forward the proposal, following a Texas resolution commemorating Wayne's birthday passed last year. Wayne died in 1979, aged 72. Assemblyman Luis Alejo was among those against the proposal, citing a 1971 interview the actor made with Playboy where he was quoted as saying: "I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people." Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez also cited the same interview where Wayne defended white Europeans' encroachment on Native American land. "Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves," the actor said. Wayne's support for the anti-communist House Un-American Activities Committee and the far right John Birch Society were also brought up. After the defeat Mr Harper said the proposal failed due to "the orthodoxy of political correctness". "Opposing the John Wayne Day resolution is like opposing apple pie, fireworks, baseball, the Free Enterprise system and the Fourth of July," he said. Assemblyman Travis Allen was among those who supported the proposal, saying Wayne "stood for those big American values that we know and we love". And Assemblyman Donald Wagner pointed out others had been honoured despite controversies in their past, mentioning President Franklin Roosevelt who had been honoured despite his internment of Japanese Americans during World War Two. The John Wayne Day row comes a week after it was announced the face of former US president and slave owner Andrew Jackson would be removed from the front of the US $20 bill and be replaced by freed slave and anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman. Also this month Princeton University announced it would keep former President Woodrow Wilson's name on one of its buildings despite calls to remove it because he was a segregationist and held racist views. The university decided that President Wilson's accomplishments deserved to be recognised along with his faults. Thefollow-uphas been made without input from the group's co-founder, who suffered a mental breakdown following publicity generated by the film. The film-makers pledged to include more context in the latest video. The first film profiled Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army, a militia operating in several African countries which has kidnapped thousands of children, forcing girls to become sex slaves and boys to fight as child soldiers. Some criticised the video for oversimplifying a complex issue. Uganda's Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi said that the video wrongly gave the impression that the country was still at war. Titled Kony 2012: Beyond Famous, the new release begins with the huge media reaction to the initial release, highlighting the mainstream media coverage the video gained across the US. By Martin PlautAfrica editor, BBC News This film is a huge improvement on the first version. Still very slick, it uses African voices to make the case for ending the threat from Joseph Kony. As the former Ugandan presidential candidate Norbert Mao puts it: "Let those who are the professors write their books and create academic awareness. But this one grabs your gut and shakes you until you are forced to pay attention." The campaign says it has already chalked up achievements: two resolutions in the US Congress signed by nearly 100 members. Without this kind of pressure political support for the US special forces tracking Kony could easily evaporate. It's claimed that since the first film was shown another 57 people have been abducted by his murderous group - the Lord's Resistance Army. The need for action is real and immediate, even though the campaign is somewhat vague about whether it wants Kony dead or in custody. But who can argue with the basic message: "The human connection extends around the world?" But it quickly switches focus to Africa, with more voices from Uganda than were featured in the emotive first release. That film struck a chord with a younger generation not often engaged with the traditional news agenda. "This generation has responded to the call to make Joseph Kony famous," the group said, promising to take the "next step" on 20 April. "Part II gives a closer look at the Lord's Resistance Army, the international efforts to stop them, the progress that has already been made, and what we can all do to help," the group said. Some US senators claimed to have been alerted to the problem by their children amid the popularity of the first release. "All three of my kids, in different context and different times have said: 'So what are you doing about Joseph Kony and the LRA?"' Senator Chris Coons told the Associated Press. Mr Coons is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations African affairs sub-committee. He has travelled to Africa to hear about the issue firsthand. A recent report from the US Pew Research centre concluded that the first film represented a new way for young people consume news. It found that 40% of 18-29 year-olds had heard about the video, compared with 20% of 30-49-year-olds and 18% of 50-64-year-olds. The younger age group was also far more likely to have viewed the video. The majority had heard about it via social networks such as Twitter. "The 30-minute video... provided striking evidence that young adults and their elders at times have different news agendas and learn about news in different ways," the report said. Invisible Children's co-founder Jason Russell is currently in hospital after he was found semi-naked and screaming at traffic in the streets of San Diego. He made himself the focus of the first film and came in for some heavy criticism from other advocacy groups and aid agencies. Many criticised the Kony 2012 project for prescribing a "colonialist" approach to the issue of the LRA without empowering Africans to fix their own problems. James McCafferty was released from prison in March and Police Scotland had been searching for him since 25 April. A police appeal said Mr McCafferty was known to visit the Stobswell and Hilltown areas of Dundee and may have been sleeping rough. "There was phlegm everywhere," said former England captain Rio Ferdinand, recalling one particular changing-room rant. "It was against Bayern Munich. I didn't agree with some of his decisions and I was screaming in the tunnel. "I sat down and he came over and absolutely unloaded on me," he said. Several former Manchester United players, including David Beckham and Lee Sharpe, have revealed in the past what it's like to be on the receiving end of Sir Alex's temper. But in an interview with Radio 1 Breakfast's Nick Grimshaw, where Ferdinand also tried out his news reading skills, he admitted the Scot has a caring side too. "He had moments of rage like that, but at times what set him apart was the compassion he's got as well. "If there was anyone ill in anyone's family he always find time and send flowers." But it seems Sir Alex, Ferguson, who won 38 trophies in his 26 years at United, was less sympathetic when it came to his players' after-hours activities. "I was injured in the first game I played in a pre-season game," Ferdinand said. "Those first six weeks and I was going out because I wasn't playing. Just after I came back he said 'Rio how are you enjoying Manchester?' I said 'yeah it's good gaff I've just been to a few restaurants, a few quiet nights in.' "He let me finish and went 'listen son, if you want to play for this football club for a long time, cut the rubbish out.' "I thought, well he's the mafia. Everyone's telling him where I've been, what I've drunk and how much I've paid for stuff. It was unbelievable. "He probably employed someone on social media when it all came out to make sure he was abreast of everything." Sir Alex brought Ferdinand to Old Trafford from Leeds for £30m in 2002. But the defender almost never turned out in a United shirt. "I had offers to stay in London to go to Chelsea, but I needed to go to Leeds and leave London so I didn't go to every party I was invited to. I loved it when I was younger." "It's different when you've got kids now. You get the fear factor of getting a hangover. I don't want that!"

Reviews for the film, which also stars Naomi Watts and Ken Watanabe, have also been fairly negative, with the Guardian's one-star review calling it "a fantastically annoying and dishonest tear-jerker". Speaking to journalists on Saturday, Van Sant said: "I read one review this morning and it was very definitive, I was imagining everyone was the same as this person so I thought, 'Now we know where we stand,' which was kind of nice." Referring to the 2003 festival, he continued: "There was apparently some kind of fight after the Elephant screening, like fisticuffs over whether it was good or bad, which I thought was interesting." The new film is also in competition for this year's top prize which is announced on 24 May. He said his comments were not about the "whole Australian team". Prior to the first Test, Kohli had said he was "really good friends with all these guys off the field". But at a post match conference after India won the series on Tuesday, he said: "No, it has changed. You won't hear me say that ever again." The Indian captain tweeted on Thursday, after his comments received widespread coverage in both Australian and Indian media. Meanwhile, former Australian cricketer Brad Hodge has apologised for suggesting Kohli was saving himself for the "cash-rich" Twenty20 cricket. India won the Test final against Australia without the skipper, who sustained an on-field shoulder injury. "You would think that your captain would get out there and get amongst the fight," Hodge said in a TV interview. The backlash threatened to eclipse his season opener for the Indian Premier League coaching the Gujarat Lions. During the series, Kohli 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." That it remained airborne was at least partly down to a $1bn bail-out from its home government in Quebec. An additional $1.5bn was raised from selling a stake in Bombardier's train division. It employs 74,000 people in 28 countries - Northern Ireland is home to around 7% or 5,500 of its staff, all working in aerospace. A major source of trouble has been its gamble on the C-Series, a first shot at the larger passenger plane market dominated by Boeing and Airbus. The project has cost at least $5.4bn - $2bn more than anticipated. A three-year delay in getting the C-Series into service has damaged an order book gathering dust since September 2014. Positive industry reaction to the aircraft's performance data appeared lost as Boeing and Airbus did discount deals to gobble up orders from airlines. At the same time, global market conditions have wobbled Bombardier's business jet market, with demand falling in the likes of Russia and China. Armed with a turn-around plan, but warnings of reduced profits, 2016 was billed as a year of transition. The strategy is now known to include job cuts. Unwelcome? Yes. Unsurprising? No. The move will see Stormers player Kleyn link up with his former defence coach at the province, Jacques Nienaber, who has joined Munster's backroom team. Munster's new director of rugby, South African Rassie Erasmus, said Kleyn, 22, is a "hugely exciting prospect". "I've seen his development first hand and with Jacques' extensive knowledge of him we are all up to speed on how Jean can contribute," said Erasmus. "A naturally athletic player we believe he will add further value to the pack and we look forward to welcoming him to Munster." Kleyn, who is 6ft 8in, made his debut for Western Province in 2012 before beginning his Stormers career two years ago. The lock has made 17 appearances for the Stormers in addition to playing 22 times for Western Province. More than 25,000 received their A-level and AS-level results on Thursday. Students in Northern Ireland have again outperformed their counterparts in England and Wales. In the full A-level, 29.3% of students achieved A or A* grades, a drop on last year's 29.9%. The overall pass rate in Northern Ireland this year is up by 0.1%, with 98.2% of students achieving grades A* to E. Girls have continued to outperform boys in gaining A* grades, but the gap is closing. The number of girls taking so-called STEM subjects - science, technology, engineering and mathematics - at A-level has seen a notable increase. There was a significant rise of 8.6% in the number of students taking A-levels in mathematics, with 10.6% more entries from girls. It is now the most popular subject, accounting for one in 10 A-level entries. Biology, religious studies, history and English complete the list of the top five most popular subjects. What if my grades are disappointing? Expert advice on dealing with unexpected results Justin Edwards, the chief executive of the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA), the Northern Ireland awarding body, said the growth in students choosing to study mathematics was encouraging. "Mathematics provides access to a wide range of educational pathways and careers," he said. "While entries in this subject have grown across all three countries, in Northern Ireland that growth has been notably strong." There are many options available for students, according to Christine Kelly of the Careers Advice Service. "Some young people may decide university is not for them and they might want to take a gap year or defer for a year," she said. "There are also lots of other options in further education colleges; HNCs, HNDs, foundation degrees, BTEC Nationals and apprenticeships. "Some employers offer school leavers' programmes, so there is a multitude of options out there." Education Minister John O'Dowd said STEM subjects were in demand by employers and he welcomed their increased uptake by female students. "Seeing the relevance of course choices for the future is vital in keeping young people engaged and motivated to achieve," he said. Employment and Learning Minister Stephen Farry said his department's careers service was available to offer guidance at "this milestone (that) often presents a crossroads in a young person's career development". CCEA has set up an examinations helpline that offers advice and guidance for students who have received results. Fergal McFerran, the president of the National Union of Students and Union of Students in Ireland, called on university tuition fees to be scrapped so more students could access higher education. "Tuition fees can be a barrier to participation in higher education in Northern Ireland," he said. "I believe that it is to the benefit of our society as a whole as well as to the economy here if we were to move to a fairer system, away from tuition fees." Temporary traffic lights have been in place on the A30 in Sherborne since 3 May due to culvert drainage works. However, Dorset County Council said an investigation found "large amounts of material have been lost from the roof of the culvert, leaving it vulnerable to collapse". A section of the road will close at the end of the month, it added. A spokeswoman said it was not yet clear how long the closure would be in place. "Now that we are aware of the condition of the culvert we cannot walk away from it," she added. The drainage works on the A30 Newell, at the junction with the B3148 Marston Road - which is a major route through the county between Shaftesbury and Yeovil in Somerset - were originally expected to be completed by 17 June. Original stars Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewan Bremner and Robert Carlyle are all returning for the new film. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Boyle confirmed that the shoot was planned for "May/June". The film, loosely based on Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting follow-up Porno, could be released later next year. Boyle said filming of the sequel might be as tight as the first, which was shot in less than two months. Miller and Carlyle both star in US TV shows - CBS's Elementary and ABC's Once Upon a Time respectively. "They only get this little window off, so either you wait for the contract to run down, which could be as late as three years, or you kind of try and do it in this window," Boyle said. "But all four lads are back in." The original Trainspotting was made on a shoestring budget of just £1.5m. The sequel's budget will be bigger but still relatively modest. "We're doing it for less than $20m, and that'll give us control of the film so we can make the film we want to make," Boyle told the Hollywood Reporter. "That's as much as you can get without being answerable to anybody. You can sort of get on with it without much interference. Although we could have raised a lot more money for this, we didn't, so we're trying to keep some sense like we kept the original." Boyle is hoping Film4, who produced the original, will get on board. He admitted there were reservations among the cast about making a sequel. "The actors were understandably worried about its reputation and not wanting to let people down or to just be cashing in," he said. "So actually the script, which John (Hodge) has written, has been put under a very fierce spotlight by everyone, and it's a good one. "Everyone's attitude is that it'll be an honourable addition and an interesting addition to the original film. We're very positive that we believe it can happen and it's coming true." The 21-year Calder, who had a spell on loan to Dundee in 2015, has signed a two-year contract. Elsdon, a fellow cap at under-17 level for England, will stay at Caledonian Stadium for an initial six months. The 20-year-old Boro defender has yet to break into the first team with the English Championship club. But he played three times last season for Middlesbrough Under-23s in the Football League Trophy. Calder came through the youth ranks at Riverside Stadium but also failed to make a first-team breakthrough. He played 11 times for Dundee in the Scottish top flight, starting three games, during his six-month spell at Dens Park. Calder subsequently had two loan spells with Doncaster Rovers, starting 16 times and coming off the bench 16 times for the League Two outfit. He finished last season being farmed out to Lincoln City but played only once for the National League side. Caley Thistle manager John Robertson has now made six signings as he reshapes the squad following relegation from the Scottish Premiership under Richie Foran last season.

He had reportedly banged on the pilot's cockpit door, demanding entry. He was handcuffed and arrested on landing. The judge found that he was suffering from a medical condition at the time. The incident, on 25 April, caused a hijack scare after the pilot sent a distress signal to Indonesia's airport authorities. Indonesian troops boarded the flight after it landed at Bali airport and arrested Mr Lockley. Virgin later said the incident was "no hijacking", but a "miscommunication", and that Mr Lockley was drunk and acting aggressively. Mr Lockley later said he had experienced a panic attack and mistook the cockpit door for a toilet. His lawyer said he had also been anxious because he thought someone had tampered with his luggage. Brisbane magistrate Judith Daley ruled that Mr Lockley was suffering from a medical issue, and that there was not sufficient evidence to suggest he intentionally knocked on the cockpit door. Speaking after the verdict, Mr Lockley told reporters he was "very relieved". "It was a big misunderstanding, I never tried to get in anywhere," he said. Residents of Northfield Farm Road, in Edinburgh, used a ladder to rescue one man and firefighters brought another man to safety at about 03:30. One man was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment. The other was treated at the scene, along with a woman, for smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is still under investigation Station Manager Alex Hume said: "We sent three appliance from Marionville and McDonald Road. "On arrival an adult male had been rescued from the rear, assisted by neighbours utilising a ladder. "Fire crews utilised six breathing apparatus and a high-pressure hose reel to enter the building and extinguish the fire and check the surrounding properties in the stair. "Two other residents also received medical treatment and oxygen for smoke inhalation, and one adult male was removed to Edinburgh Royal for further treatment."

Members of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and technical union Bectu voted in favour of the walkouts. The latest industrial action follows a one-day strike by NUJ members on 18 February which affected programmes. Another strike by union members in Scotland that had been due to take place on Friday and Monday has now been called off. The BBC is cutting about 2,000 jobs over five years as part of its Delivering Quality First programme. The NUJ vote was 61% in favour of stoppages, while backing among Bectu members was 56%. Both unions were also in favour of action short of a strike, with 80% of NUJ members and 81% of Bectu's supporting it. "BBC staff have today rejected management's attempts to create a modern-day BBC sweatshop," said Bectu leader Gerry Morrissey. "Current demands on staff are unacceptable and with more job cuts planned it is essential that the BBC takes stock of the impact of DQF on its workforce." Those sentiments were echoed by Michelle Stanistreet, general secretary of the NUJ, who accused the BBC of deciding "not to properly engage" with its members' concerns. NUJ members staged a 24-hour walkout on 18 February that changed some schedules and affected several programmes, including BBC Breakfast and Radio 4's Today. Next week's strike, which is over job cuts, workload and claims of harassment, has the potential to affect Easter bank holiday schedules. In a statement, a BBC spokesperson said the corporation had had "constructive meetings" with the unions in recent weeks but said its position on compulsory redundancies remained unchanged. "We must progress with those given the significant savings we have to make and strike action simply will not change this," the spokesperson continued. "We continue to work extremely hard to redeploy staff and have already succeeded in redeploying nearly double the number of people that have been made redundant. "We hope with such a low turn-out and relatively small numbers voting for a strike that the unions will reconsider taking industrial action." Bectu told the BBC News website that 39% of the 3,800 BBC Bectu members affected by DQF had voted in the ballot. The NUJ declined to provide a similar breakdown. Former coach Milovan Rajevac is being widely tipped to return to the post he held between 2008 and 2010. Rajevac had originally been lined up to work as a technical advisor alongside Appiah. The GFA says it will announce Appiah's replacement before October's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea. During his first stint in charge, Rajevac led Ghana to the runners-up spot at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and the quarter-finals of the World Cup a few months later. Appiah had been under pressure since Ghana's turbulent World Cup campaign, where they failed to win a single match against a backdrop of off-field issues. A draw at home to Uganda in their opening Group E match in the 2015 Nations Cup qualifiers increased the calls for Appiah to move on. Even a 3-2 win away from home over Togo on Wednesday was not enough to save Appiah's job. Appiah and the GFA will meet next week to discuss the terms of his severance package. A sample taken at an out-of-competition test in January was found to contain anabolic agent clenbuterol. Shahzad, 29, will be provisionally suspended from 26 April - unless he challenges the decision - pending the outcome of the disciplinary process. His 116 internationals are split evenly between ODIs and Twenty20 matches. Shahzad is Afghanistan's leading run scorer in T20s and holds their record score in both ODIs and T20s. Clenbuterol is used to treat asthma but can also help build lean muscle mass and burn off fat. The maximum ban Shahzad could face is four years, but the starting point will be two years if he can prove the violation was not intentional. The crash happened on Fellside Road at about 02:20 BST close to Whickham Golf Club. A 43-year-old man, and two girls aged 17, all from Gateshead, died at the scene. The lorry driver was uninjured. Northumbria Police urged anyone who saw the "distinctive" black Mercedes C63 AMG model in the hours leading up to the crash to contact the force. The FTSE 100 index fell by 49.52 points, or 0.78%, at 6260.9, with Anglo American and BHP Billiton among the biggest losers. It comes after Asian markets sank again, following pre-weekend losses on Wall Street. It is a busy week ahead globally, with policy meetings at the US Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan as well as earnings reports from major firms. Winners included Imperial Brands, Berkeley Group, British Land Company, and ITV. On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.56% against the dollar to $1.4489, and was 0.06% higher against the euro at €1.2856. Media playback is not supported on this device Lafferty, 29, signed a two-year deal at Tynecastle after leaving Norwich City on a free transfer. The Northern Ireland striker was also wanted by Hibernian, but said his "heart didn't really want to be there". "Where Hearts want to go, I want to play a massive part in it," Lafferty said. The striker, who has 58 international caps, won three Scottish top-flight titles during a spell with Rangers from 2008-2012. He has also played for Burnley, Swiss side Sion and Italian outfit Palermo. Lafferty was accused by his compatriot Keith Gillespie - the former Manchester United and Newcastle winger who now acts as an agent - of disrespecting Hibs by failing to show up for talks with manager Neil Lennon. However, Lafferty says a move to Tynecastle was always his preferred option. "I think it would be disrespectful from me towards Hearts to negotiate for four days and then go across the city to speak to Hibs," he said. "I can probably say my heart did not want to be there. I showed Hearts massive respect by staying here. The chairwoman here Ann Budge wouldn't let me out the office door anyway. "She told me to go in there with a cup of tea - then she locked the door. The only way out was through the window and I didn't really fancy jumping down three storeys. "Keith can come out and say what he wants. I've come here with my actual agent Martin [Lyon]. We spoke for four days solid and it was well worth it as I'm now a Hearts player." In his spell with Rangers Lafferty was never far from controversy, with perhaps the most notable incident coming in a match in 2009 when he feigned injury to get Aberdeen's Charlie Mulgrew sent off. He believes he has matured since his last spell in Scotland and Hearts will reap the benefits of a player hungry for playing time after a frustrating few seasons at club level. "Everyone remembers me from the Charlie Mulgrew incident and other stupid things I've done. I have definitely matured since I left Rangers in 2012. I came to Scotland nine years ago as a young boy to play for the team I supported. "Did I do as well as I wanted to? Probably not but I did score some important goals for Rangers. "This is the first time in about 13 years that I've been looking forward to a pre-season. There is a space for us to push up towards the top of the league. If we keep this team, we will do well. "European football is a target and there is no reason why we can't reach our goals. It was an easy decision for me to come after hearing what the manager had to say, what he wants me to do and where he wants to take the team. "They have matched my expectations as well and I actually can't wait to get started." Three well-known French sports personalities were among those killed in the collision, which also claimed the lives of the two Argentine pilots. French President Francois Hollande said it was "a cause of immense sadness". Both helicopters were involved in the filming of TV survival show Dropped, which airs on French channel TF1. On the show, celebrities are flown into rough terrain and filmed while they attempt to find food and shelter. Yachtswoman Florence Arthaud, Olympic swimmer Camille Muffat and Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine were the show's celebrities on board at the time of the crash. They all died. Other contestants were standing on the ground blindfolded a few hundred metres away when the accident happened near Villa Castelli in La Rioja province, French media said. Reports in Argentina said French swimmer Alain Bernard, who was also taking part in the show, narrowly escaped the crash after getting off one of the helicopters at the last minute to avoid overloading it. The five other French nationals killed were said to have worked for Adventure Line Productions (ALP), the company making the programme. They were named as Laurent Sbasnik, Lucie Mei-Dalby, Volodia Guinard, Brice Guilbert and Edouard Gilles. The Argentine pilots were named as Juan Carlos Castillo and Roberto Abate. Camille Muffat, 25, won three medals, including gold in the 400m freestyle in the 2012 London Olympics. She retired from competitive swimming in 2014. Alexis Vastine, 28, won bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the light-welterweight category. He was narrowly beaten in the quarter-finals of the 2012 Games. Florence Arthaud, 57, was a hugely accomplished sailor, winning the 1990 Route du Rhum, the prestigious solo Atlantic race. A serious car accident put her in a coma when she was 17. Profiles of Muffat, Vastine and Arthaud Emergency workers had removed all of the bodies from the wreckage by Tuesday afternoon, reports the BBC's Ignacio de los Reyes. Local authorities said they were being taken to a morgue in the capital of La Rioja province, about 300km (200 miles) from the crash site. The cause of the crash is as yet unclear and investigations are under way. The inquiry in France is standard procedure when its nationals die overseas. President Hollande is sending two investigators and two aeronautical advisors to Argentina to assist in finding out what went wrong. Tributes have poured in to the dead stars from France and beyond. "We are shocked by this sad news," said Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee. "The world of sport and the Olympic family have lost three of their key members," he said, calling them champions and role models. British round-the-world yachtswoman Dame Ellen MacArthur told the BBC: "Florence's view was that the sea is out there and it's there for the taking. "You know, I'm sure she's inspired many, many people," she added. British swimmer Rebecca Adlington, who took bronze when Muffat won gold in the 400m freestyle at the London 2012 Olympics, said she was "terribly saddened". "She was very inspiring, a tough competitor, extremely talented and [a] friendly person." Adlington wrote on her blog. "She was always so genuine and gracious." Muffat's boyfriend, William Forgues, said she was often called "Miss 100%" because "she won everything". "She went on this trip so happy. It was her choice to be there," he told reporters. Filming for the TV programme began late last month at Ushuaia in the deep south of Argentina and had since moved to the mountainous western province of Rioja. One cast member, figure skater Philippe Candeloro, was said to be "extremely shocked but unharmed". The death of the three sports stars and five other French nationals was splashed across every paper, every news bulletin. Prime Minister Manuel Valls tweeted his "immense sadness" saying "all France is grieving this morning". Meanwhile Culture Minister Fleur Pellerin told the BFM-TV news channel that the three athletes were "among the most outstanding ambassadors for our country". Former Arsenal and France striker Sylvain Wiltord, who was taking part in the current series, said: "I'm trembling, I can't talk. I'm horrified." But amid the horror there are also the first signs of anger. Well-known musician Benjamin Bioley has criticised what he called a "horrible TV reality show that serves up cardboard stars and then steals three wonderful athletes". As the country begins to absorb the news, the questions over this incident and the circumstances that led to it will only grow. Officials have said the weather conditions in the mountainous area where the helicopters went down were good. "An explosion occurred and it's believed that they must have collided,'' said La Rioja Secretary of Security Cesar Angulo. "Aeronautical experts will have to determine that," he added. TF1 said it had postponed the show and the rest of the crew were returning home. "All TF1 teams come together in this terrible time with the pain of the families and relatives of the victims," it said in a statement. It is part of a £50m UK-wide fund announced by Chancellor George Osborne. Communities in the Borders, Dumfries and Galloway, Tayside and Moray were among those hit by Storm Desmond. Scottish Secretary David Mundell said Scotland would receive £3.94m, under the terms of the Barnett formula. He added: "The chancellor is absolutely right to provide financial help to those affected by the terrible flooding in England. "In the UK we share risks and resources in a way that means Scotland will now also receive extra money from the Treasury. "People in Scotland who had their homes flooded in the past week will expect the Scottish government to use this new money to help them in the same way the UK government is helping those south of the border. "I hope the Scottish government will confirm that this is what they plan to do.' About 600 people were evacuated from their homes in Hawick as the River Teviot burst its banks on Saturday. Peebles, Selkirk, Coldstream, Jedburgh and Kelso were also affected. The Met Office said that about 100mm of rain fell in the area throughout Friday and Saturday. In Dumfries, businesses were flooded when the River Nith flowed on to the Whitesands. The effects of the storm were also felt in Newcastleton, Langholm, and in Annandale and Eskdale. Osborne announces £50m funding package More rain and wind warnings in Scotland How do you stop flooding? Bridge of Allan and Aberfoyle were also badly affected by rising water levels. Firefighters rescued 22 adults, three children and seven dogs from holiday chalets in Aviemore. Earlier this week the Scottish government announced the floods had triggered the Bellwin Scheme, which helps councils with the cost of such natural emergencies. Scottish environment minister Aileen McLeod visited Hawick on Tuesday to see the extent of the damage caused by the weekend's floods. Since Capt Elliot founded modern Hong Kong, the city has evolved from a pirate-infested backwater to one of the world's leading financial capitals, changing hands from Britain to China in the process. But throughout that tumultuous time, one fact has remained relatively constant - a linked exchange rate regime of some kind. Over the past 30 years, Hong Kong's currency has been pegged to the US dollar at a rate close to 7.8 - making $10 equal to HK$78. The US dollar peg, which effectively ties Hong Kong to America's monetary policy, has helped the semi-autonomous territory navigate successfully through the Asian financial crisis, the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers in 2008. That is why this city's financial sector was taken utterly by surprise when Prof Joseph Yam, the former head of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), recently published a working paper suggesting a review of the dollar peg. "There is a need to address the questions as to whether the monetary system of Hong Kong, as currently structured, can continue to serve the public interest of Hong Kong in the best possible manner," wrote Prof Yam, of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Prof Yam's comments came as a surprise because he was one of the architects of the US dollar peg and has been a stalwart defender of the policy. In his new paper , he outlined several options, including increasing the level at which the Hong Kong dollar would be allowed to trade against the greenback, pegging the currency against the Chinese yuan or perhaps allowing it to trade against a number of other currencies. When asked why he was making such a dramatic public reversal of opinion, Prof Yam told Hong Kong media it was because times had changed. The US dollar peg had contributed to inflation and asset bubbles in Hong Kong because of the policy of quantitative easing the US Federal Reserve adopted following the global financial crisis, he said. "Clearly, both have unsettling and possibly debilitating consequences for society," Prof Yam wrote. Hong Kong's economy has grown rapidly during the past 30 years. Its financial centre is the envy of the world. In the past three years, more money was raised at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange than at any other bourse. But it remains a small, trade-dependent economy vulnerable to changes in capital flows, which is why many economists have played down Prof Yam's controversial comments. Erik Lueth, a Hong Kong-based economist at the Royal Bank of Scotland, believes the peg will stay for the foreseeable future. "To say it upfront, I also don't believe that the peg will be abandoned over the next seven to 10 years and [Prof] Yam's intervention should be read as the views of a man that misses the spotlight," he wrote in a note to clients. Hong Kong's top officials - including the incoming chief executive, the financial secretary and Prof Yam's successor at the HKMA - have all publicly announced their support for the US dollar peg in response to the academic paper. But Mr Lueth and Frances Cheung, a strategist with investment bank CLSA, also believe that, while the dollar peg is currently the best choice, Hong Kong could one day link its currency to the Chinese yuan instead. "I will be surprised if the HKMA is not prepared for a change some day," Ms Cheung wrote in a note to clients. Of course, this would only be an option if the Chinese yuan were fully convertible, which economists estimate could happen as early as 2015. From a historical point of view, this option is plausible. Small, open economies such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Panama all have fixed or hybrid exchange rate systems to reduce volatility. In the early days as a British colony, Hong Kong's currency was linked to silver. Then, it was pegged to the British pound and, later, to the US dollar. For about 10 years in the 1970s, the Hong Kong dollar was allowed to float freely. But, in September 1983, investors panicked during negotiations between Britain and China over Hong Kong's future, triggering capital outflows and a sharp depreciation in the value of the Hong Kong dollar. The depreciation was so sudden and severe that officials decided to impose the strongest form of fixed exchange rate systems, the currency board. In the subsequent three decades, China's economy has grown from strength to strength, overtaking Japan as the world's second biggest income generator in 2010. At the same time, growth in the US economy has slowed and its currency seems to be showing signs of a long-term downward trend. With more than half of Hong Kong's exports going to the mainland, and with financial engagement between the two sides deepening, Hong Kong's currency system is likely to become ever more linked to China's. The suspects, aged 15 to 17, are accused of the "desecration of burial places due to the religion of the deceased". Tombstones were pushed over and vaults opened at the cemetery in the north-eastern town Sarre-Union last Thursday. Local prosecutor Philippe Vannier said the vandalism appeared to be part of a game that went wrong. Images on social media also showed graves daubed with swastikas and Nazi slogans. Some 250 were damaged. Mr Vannier said on Wednesday there was a clear "anti-Semitic motive" behind the act. Four of the boys have been assigned to juvenile centres, while a fifth has been placed in the care of "a trusted individual", he added. Housing developer Taylor Wimpey wants to transform the Llandaff plots into housing inspired by London's Georgian squares. The Llandaff Park plans include a range of properties from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom houses. BBC staff are set to move to a new building in Central Square in 2018. Proposals include 20% affordable homes on the sites that straddle either side of Llantrisant Road - Broadcasting House on the northern side and Ty Oldfield on the southern side. Plans show a three-block, six-storey apartment development called The Crescent. Three-storey terraced townhouses with private gardens and roof terraces would form The Square. The Courtyard would be made up of four to six-storey apartment blocks. The developer said it planned to create a number of additional pedestrian and cycle routes. It said the development would "significantly" reduce traffic. The 22-year-old, who can also play in midfield, had agreed a two-year deal at Griffin Park last summer. "We felt it was important to keep Josh for a much longer period," Bees co-director of football Phil Giles said. "He has shown that he can be versatile and fill several roles in the team at a high level." Amina Begun was found by police in Fambridge Close, Maldon, Essex, shortly after 14:00 GMT on Thursday. She was declared dead at the scene. Javid Ahmed, 25, of Fambridge Close, Maldon, was charged on Friday night. He appeared before magistrates in Chelmsford, where he was remanded in custody to appear before the city's crown court on Tuesday. Former Iraqi general Abdul Wahed Shannan Al Rabbat alleged the former prime minister committed "the crime of aggression" by invading Iraq in 2003. No such crime exists in England and Wales and the court ruled there was "no prospect" of the case succeeding. The general had wanted to prosecute Mr Blair, ex-Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, and ex-Attorney General Lord Goldsmith. Last year, Westminster Magistrates' Court had turned down Mr Al Rabbat's bid to bring private prosecution. He then sought a judicial review in an attempt to get the Supreme Court - the UK's highest court - to overturn a 2006 House of Lords ruling that there is no such crime as the crime of aggression under the law of England and Wales. However, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, the Lord Chief Justice, and Mr Justice Ouseley dismissed the general's application, saying there was "no prospect" of the case succeeding. The UK's attorney general had earlier intervened in the case, urging the High Court to block the challenge on the grounds that it was "hopeless". Reacting to the ruling, a spokesperson for the attorney general's office said the case had raised "important issues about the scope of the criminal law". "It should be for Parliament, and not the courts, to create new criminal offences. This principle was upheld when the House of Lords ruled in 2006 that the 'crime of aggression' does not exist in English law. "In this legal challenge, we argued that this remains the case today and the courts agreed." In 2003, the UK joined the US-led coalition to overthrow Saddam Hussein, after then US president George W Bush and Mr Blair accused Iraq of possessing weapons of mass destruction. Last year, the UK's Iraq War inquiry, led by Sir John Chilcot, ruled the invasion had not been the "last resort" presented to MPs and the public. His report ruled Mr Blair had overstated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein. Michael Mansfield QC, appearing for Mr Al Rabbat, argued the report justified the prosecution of Mr Blair. He said a paragraph in it could be summarised as concluding that Saddam Hussein did not pose an urgent threat to the interests of the UK. It said the intelligence regarding weapons of mass destruction had been presented with "unwarranted certainty". Mr Mansfield told the court: "Nothing could be more emphatic than this evidence. "It does not say there was an unlawful war or crime of aggression. It doesn't need to because the criteria are arguably all there in that paragraph." Speaking last year, former Labour prime minister Mr Blair apologised to the families of those killed in the 2003 Iraq War, but insisted he did what he thought was the "right thing" at the time. It is likely Fine Gael will remain the largest party, but with a narrow lead over the main opposition, Fianna Fáil. Just over a third of the seats for the Dáil (Irish parliament) have been filled. Polls show Sinn Féin, smaller parties and Independents are also doing well. Mr Kenny, Labour Party leader Joan Burton and Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary-Lou McDonald have all retained their seats. However, Fine Gael's former justice minister Alan Shatter and Alex White, the Labour Party's communications minister, have not been returned to parliament. Mr Kenny said the voting showed that the existing government will not regain power. "This is a disappointment for the Fine Gael party," he said. "Obviously whether you can argue about the people's decision, you cannot argue with it. "So clearly, the government of Fine Gael and Labour are not going to be returned to office." He added that the "majority government option is gone" but he will wait for the full results and consider options on how to form a government "very carefully". "Clearly the country needs a government and must have one," he said. Joan Burton said she was "very, very disappointed" that many Labour Party candidates would not be elected to parliament. "All I can say is that the Labour Party is at the fight for justice and social justice in Ireland and we will continue that fight in the next Dáil, even if our numbers are diminished." When asked about how a government will be formed, she said that all parliamentary members would have to "work to do whatever is best for the people of our country". Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin described the election as an "extraordinary vote" and said he was "very pleased". "A lot will depend on the destination of the last seats in many constituencies, it's a bit too early to be definitive, but it's clear we're going to have a good day," he said. Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary-Lou McDonald said that she expects the party will be putting leader Gerry Adams forward to be the next taoiseach. "It's early in the day but I think if this election demonstrates anything, it is that there is now, or should be, no sense from Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil that they have some divine right to govern - they don't," she said Many believe the expected result could make negotiations on forming a new government extremely difficult. Both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil had indicated that they would not go into coalition with each other. However, pressure is expected to mount on them to come to some form of arrangement that may take several weeks to arrive at. If borne out by the count, the vote shares would result in a hung Dáil (parliament), but with Fine Gael still taking the largest number of seats. Over three million people were entitled to vote in Friday's poll, that will return 157 members of parliament, known as TDs. The ceann comhairle (speaker) is automatically returned. Although the election count is a long and gruelling process, there have been some lighter moments including a silver eternity ring that was found in a ballot box and one voter who gave his number one to UFC champion Conor McGregor. Meanwhile, one person swapped the Oscars in Hollywood for a count centre in County Cavan in order to support a politician. Eamon Farrell, the brother of actor Colin Farrell, had a ticket for the star-studded ceremony but decided instead to travel to the count centre in order to show his backing for Arts Minister Heather Humphries. The election campaign was fought mainly over economic issues, with the government parties asking voters for their support to keep the recovery going at a time when international storm clouds are gathering. But the opposition parties countered that not everyone, especially outside of middle-class Dublin, is yet benefiting from the up-turn. The Republic of Ireland has had the biggest growing economy in the eurozone for the last two years. TDs will be elected according to the single transferable vote (STV) system, in which candidates have to reach a quota, before their surplus votes are distributed to others. Riyad Mahrez steered in Islam Slimani's knockdown from close range five minutes before half-time time as the Premier League champions left their domestic struggles behind to remain firmly on course to top Group G. Leicester's win was not without its anxious moments, with former Cardiff City striker Andreas Cornelius heading inches wide moments after the Foxes had taken the lead. And it took a brilliant one-handed save from goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel in the closing minutes to thwart Cornelius again and maintain Leicester's unblemished defensive record in this season's Champions League. Leicester can now secure a place in the last 16 with a win in Denmark on 2 November, having already guaranteed at least a Europa League spot. When Leicester's thoughts turned to their first Champions League campaign, qualification from Group G would have been regarded as a major success for manager Claudio Ranieri and his players. But the Foxes may just fancy their chances of taking the dream journey a step further after becoming only the fifth competition debutants in Champions League history, after AC Milan, Paris St-Germain, Juventus and Malaga, to win their opening three games. Topping the group would make life a lot easier in the last-16 draw as it vastly increases the chances of drawing beatable opponents when all logic - something, admittedly, they defied last season - suggests they would struggle against Europe's elite. The King Power Stadium is a compact and atmospheric arena, swirling with noise, that is perfectly designed for European nights and making even the most illustrious sides uncomfortable. If Leicester can keep up this form, and the likes of Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and Slimani can provide the threat to supplement the defensive resilience that won the Premier League, then there may be plenty of sides they can trouble. England striker Vardy's work-rate and determination was not in question for a moment here but he is still searching for the elusive spark that brought him 24 Premier League goals in last season's title win. He is not hiding away and is still tireless in his running - but he is now clearly a marked man by opposition made aware of his pace and threat with his deeds last season. Vardy has now gone eight games without a goal - a decline that might be partly explained by the fact he is now providing support for £29m man Slimani, whereas last season he was, along with Mahrez, the focal point, with team-mates working for him. Against Copenhagen, he was often seen on the flanks and played his part in creating the goal, crossing from the left for Slimani to head into goalscorer Mahrez's path. Home fans certainly appreciated his efforts, which were rewarded with a standing ovation when he was replaced by Shinji Okazaki. The 29-year-old hit a hot streak last season and did not stop scoring - Leicester and Ranieri will hope he does the same once he finds the target again. Leicester's flawless Champions League record provides a sharp contrast to their struggles for form as they defend their Premier League title. In domestic football, Leicester have lost four of their first eight league games - more than they lost in their title campaign - and conceded 14 goals. Leicester's defence still looked uncertain here, even at the set-pieces that were a strength last season, and it needed that magnificent save from Schmeichel here to secure the win. Perhaps the Foxes' style is still more of a surprise to European sides than the Premier League rivals they punished last season. Maybe they are finding the rarefied air of the Champions League more to their liking than the pressure of defending the domestic title. One thing is certain - there currently appear to be two Leicester City teams in existence. Match ends, Leicester City 1, FC København 0. Second Half ends, Leicester City 1, FC København 0.

The 21-year-old has made 26 appearances in all competitions for the Cards in the past two seasons. Centre-back Thomas extends a deal originally agreed between Charlton and Woking in October. He is yet to score for Woking or make a senior appearance for his parent club despite featuring among the substitutes on several occasions. 6 April 2016 Last updated at 13:40 BST The two males and two females were undernourished and underweight when saved from north Wales beaches, but are now fighting fit at 40kg (6.2 stone) each. They bade zookeepers a fond farewell at Penrhyn Bay beach, near Rhos-on-Sea. The zoo's director Nick Jackson said: "It's great to be able to see the seals return to their natural habitat, each in great shape and back where they belong." After rain forced a delayed start, Lancashire struggled for momentum and posted only 131-7 from their 19 overs. Wes Durston got Derbyshire's reply off to a flying start with 30 off 15 balls. New Zealand batsman Hamish Rutherford then eased the visitors to victory with more than five overs to spare, hitting three sixes in his unbeaten 71. Both sides are back in action in the competition on Friday when Lancashire host Durham, while Derbyshire face Northamptonshire.

The plant's Thai parent company was granted approval to wind up its UK arm with the loss of 1,700 jobs. Redcar Labour MP Anna Turley said the latest proposal "would pay for itself". Businesses who are "very highly engaged with the plant... are willing to put in substantial amounts of their own money to keep it running", she said. County Durham coal production and distribution company Hargreaves Services is behind the plan, the BBC understands. A task force including businesses and the local authority has been set up in response to the Redcar closure. Business Secretary Sajid Javid said he could not intervene to keep the plant going but would help workers find new jobs. Speaking on BBC Sunday Politics Mr Javid there was no guarantee putting taxpayers' money into keeping the coke ovens going "would help a single British worker". "It would have helped banks in Thailand and I'm not going to use British taxpayers' money to bail out Thai banks," he said. He conceded unemployment on Teesside was about 9%, significantly higher than the national average, but said there was "lots of opportunity". The government has announced an aid package of "up to £80m" for those affected but ruled out state intervention at the plant. The official receiver should "maximise the value" of the plant which was "worth a lot more if it's properly mothballed and can be bought", Ms Turley said. The coke ovens are essential for any future production on the site. Evidence from France, Germany and Italy suggested UK steel making could be profitable in the future, Ms Turley said. "We are going to have to deal with the dumping of steel from China but steelmaking in the UK is still viable," she said. Alex Peguero-Sosa, 17, was injured in Kingsbridge at about 02:20 BST and was later declared dead at Derriford Hospital, in Plymouth. A man in his 40s was arrested in Kingsbridge on Sunday on suspicion of murdering the teenager. He is in custody at Torquay police station. Police said members of the public had attempted to revive the boy. A spokesman for Plymouth Argyle said Mr Peguero-Sosa was released from the club last summer. The town's mayor, Wayne Grills, said Kingsbridge was a very small community and the teenager was well known and liked. He said: "The town is in a state of shock. Waking up to the news on social media, it is very unusual. It has been decades since the last event of this kind. It is a close knit community and this is very unusual." Terms with the Welsh striker, 26, have been agreed and the deal is close to being finalised despite a backlash, including a 60,000-strong petition. However, there are still legal issues to overcome which could cause a delay. A board member told the BBC they were "minded" to sign Evans but said the Professional Footballers' Association was a key driver in the move. Owner Simon Corney said on Wednesday that the club, who are 14th in League One, were 80% likely to sign the striker. The former Manchester City and Sheffield United player was jailed in April 2012 for raping a woman and was released from prison in October after serving half of a five-year sentence. Guardian sports writer David Conn: "There's been no decency shown to her after the event. You can still say 'I maintain my innocence of the crime, while apologising for what I did which I don't dispute,' and show some decency and empathy for this woman. "When I saw that Evans' supporters' website, and understood the way the victim has continued to be treated, that was a tipping point for me to make me feel that he has not done enough to show himself as someone who should have that second chance. I don't think he's ready yet." Former England international Danny Mills: "The dressing room is unlike any other place on the planet. Rightly, or wrongly, morally right or morally wrong, the dressing room is a sanctum of protection. Things will be said. There might be press cuttings quite possibly put on his locker, or where he gets changed." "Trouble is with football, it becomes very, very selfish at times and if Ched Evans goes into that dressing room and starts to play good football and starts to score the odd goal then, rightly or wrongly, whatever you think should happen, those players will forget about everything off the pitch if he's doing the business on the pitch." Guy Mowbray, BBC commentator: "What does it do to members of the squad who think, 'If you're that desperate to get that sort of player in, with everything that it brings, then thanks very much. You can't rate me very highly can you?'." Former Sunderland striker Kevin Phillips: "The interesting thing for me is that Oldham are struggling, they need a centre forward, and it'll be quite interesting to see how the supporters react when he scores his first goal. "I'm pretty sure there's going to be many in that crowd saying they won't turn up, but I'm sure they will at some point, and it'll be interesting to see whether they celebrate if he scores a goal. "It's quite unique being on that football pitch because you put everything to the back of your mind. If he scores a goal, I'm pretty sure the players at that time will celebrate. They need a goalscorer." Mills: "To play devil's advocate for a moment, he's committed a crime, he's served his sentence in prison - supposedly - therefore he should have been rehabilitated, therefore he comes back into it. Should he not be allowed to do his job of work? Conn: "You have the right to work in theory, but you don't have a right to walk back into your chosen profession. No employer, no football club has a duty to employ him." Chief sports writer for the Daily Mirror, Oliver Holt: "The last thing I want to be is to be seen as some sort of champion of Ched Evans... but I believe in a society where once criminals have served their sentence they deserve the chance to rehabilitate. "I just think we're on dangerous ground when we start making slightly random judgements about which criminals we allow back to work, and which criminals we don't." Mowbray: "I am very, very surprised that they're going down this route. With everything that's gone before it, I can't believe that they're that desperate that they would take this signing with all the baggage and the problems that will come with it. "There are financial implications, with sponsorship deals being lost, there might even be implications with policing costs, with the extra security needed. "I struggle to see it really ending positively for the club, or indeed the player, because if they're going to all this trouble, there's immense pressure on him as well." Mills, Phillips, Mowbray, Conn and Holt were speaking on BBC Radio 5 live. The 34-year-old, from Wath-Upon-Dearne, Rotherham, was found at the Woodhead Tunnels off the A628 on Monday. Post-mortem tests found he died from head injuries and Derbyshire Police has launched a murder investigation. The force is appealing for information on Mr Nelson's movements in the days before the discovery of his body. The number of over 65 year olds who have been vaccinated has fallen since last year, as has the the number of younger "at risk" patients. As of last week, only 48.9% of over 65s had been given the jab, compared with 54.8% in the same period of 2011. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "As winter approaches, we should all be on our guard against health problems." The Department of Health (DoH) says around 4,700 people die every year in England, after getting flu. People in at-risk groups - such as pregnant women - are 11 times more likely to die than someone who is not in an at-risk group. The DoH has therefore launched a campaign to encourage at-risk groups to get vaccinated and a new website, called Winterwatch, will be launched later this month to provide winter-related health data. Public Health Minister Anna Soubry said: "We have taken the decision this year to run a flu campaign because too many people in at-risk groups have not come forward for the jab yet, although local campaigns have been running for the past month. "Our campaign aims to encourage people who are most at risk from flu, who have put it off or who don't think it is important, to get the vaccine." Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "Each year the cold weather is responsible for an increase in deaths and thousands of cases of flu, falls, heart attacks and strokes. "In past years, these extra pressures have cost the NHS £42m in emergency admissions alone. "As winter approaches, we should all be on our guard against health problems - by taking simple steps and looking after our older friends and family we can keep warm and well." Flu is generally just means taking time off work for most people but certain at-risk groups are prone to developing potentially fatal complications, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. One upward trend is in the number of pregnant women receiving the flu jab this year - around 25%, compared to 13.6% by this week in 2011. Louise Silverton, director for midwifery for the Royal College of Midwives, said: "Women must also be aware of the importance of having the seasonal flu vaccination as soon as they become pregnant. "If any pregnant woman is unsure about this, I would urge them to speak to their midwife or doctor to discuss the issue. "For women after their 28th week of pregnancy, they should ask for the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination when they visit the GP." It said so-called legal highs had been "a real game changer" and the health risk was becoming a "substantial" problem. Some have turned to injecting legal highs, while heroin users are either injecting both or have turned to using the psycho-active substances instead. There are 12,000 known users who visit needle exchanges across Wales. "It isn't under control," said Josie Smith, head of substance misuse for Public Health Wales. "The new psycho-active substances have been a real game changer for risk of Hepatitis C transmissions. "In Swansea, mephedrone injecting was widespread both among people who weren't injecting before and those people who have history of injecting heroin taking on injecting mephedrone as well or instead of. "Certainly the advent of these new drugs has been a wake-up call." She said Public Health Wales had a "much better handle" on the problem now, and was better equipped to test, screen, diagnose and refer for treatment, while drug users are also more aware of the disease. Current treatment for Hepatitis C can include a year's worth of injections and involve side-effects such as depression, tiredness and feeling sick. In 2014, scientists said a new treatment "cured" 90% of patients with the infection in 12 weeks. Ifor Glyn, chief executive of Swansea-based charity Sands Cymru, said there was a "massive amount" of infected users in the city. "We've found it could be about 70% and a large amount don't know about it," he said. "It's the same concern as HIV in as much as it's usually transferable through bodily fluids. Unless people get treated it could be fatal." But he added: "If all these people came forward for Hepatitis C treatment, it would have a massive effect on health budgets. "We reinforce the message of not to share needles and to have safe sex." The league was reduced to 12 teams ahead of the 2010-11 season with the competition splitting into two groups of six midway through the campaign. Current champions Saints go into this weekend's opening round of second phase matches as league leaders. "It's improves the standard," Harrison told BBC Radio Shropshire. "It's strengthened the Welsh Premier League on the pitch. "You've got to be on your mettle every single week, home and away. Every part of the season there's something to play for. "It's also exciting at the bottom because three seasons ago Bala finished in the bottom half and they went on a fantastic run and they qualified for Europe through the play-offs." Saints begin the second phase of the season in the Championship Conference on Friday at home to Gap Connah's Quay. Connah's Quay are the only team to have beaten Saints in the league this season, winning 2-0 on the final weekend of the first phase on 16 January. Welsh Premier & non-League round-up Dutch sailor Dorian van Rijsselberghe, who won gold in 2012, will retain his title. Dempsey, 35, won silver in London, having taken a bronze in Athens in 2004, and will retire after this event. "Tomorrow's a day off and my birthday, and Sunday is my last ever race so I'm going to want to win," he said. "I feel very happy to have won a silver medal," Dempsey added. "It's cool, it's amazing. "It's nice to have had a good spell at the top and be competitive over five Olympic Games. I'm pretty proud of that. "I'm unemployed as of next week - I'll have to get a job. I'd like to do photography if I can make it work, and a bit of coaching. I'd like some new challenges and new goals and I want to keep being driven in life and achieve something else." Friday's result is subject to protest and both Dempsey and Van Rijsselberghe will still have to sail in Sunday's medal race. Beijing 2008 bronze medallist Bryony Shaw is through to the women's RS:X medal race and is eighth overall, after three fourth places on Friday. London 2012 runners-up Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark won their only race of the day to go top of the women's 470 class, while Luke Patience and Chris Grube are up to third in the men's event. Two-time world champion Nick Thompson is fourth overall in the Laser class after a 24th and seventh on Friday, while reigning Laser Radial champion Alison Young posted a seventh and 10th to move ninth overall. Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign are 14th overall in the 49er after day one, while Charlotte Dobson and Sophie Ainsworth are seventh in the 49erFx. Giles Scott resumes competition on Saturday as Finn class leader, and Ben Saxton and Nicola Groves restart second in the Nacra 17. There were three so-called "never events" in March and April and another in November at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, it has revealed. The last incident meant surgical equipment was inserted into the wrong side of a patient's body. The patient was unharmed. Medical director Phil Hughes said it was essential to learn from any mistakes. Read more on this story as it develops throughout the day on our Local Live pages. The surgery involved putting dye into the patient so the kidneys could be seen on X-ray. The report said the team carried out the correct procedure immediately. "This incident is currently being investigated. Immediate actions have been taken to prevent recurrence," the hospital trust's latest report said. Phil Hughes, consultant radiologist and medical director for Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "We see and treat nearly half-a-million patients per year and for hundreds of thousands of people their investigations and treatment go well and they report being highly satisfied with their care. "But, for a small minority, mistakes happen and things do not go as planned. When mistakes happen it is essential that we are open and honest about them and, importantly, that we use them as learning opportunities to help us improve our services and make them safer." The latest report by health watchdogs the Care Quality Commission says that Derriford requires improvement in surgery. "Never events" is the terminology used within the NHS to describe serious but preventable instances where errors take place. Coach is offering $18.50 a share for Kate Spade in a bid to create a multi-brand fashion house. Both firms are grappling with sliding sales at US department stores where their products have traditionally been sold. Shares in Coach rose 4.6% in New York, while Kate Spade jumped 8.2%. Coach was founded in 1941, while Kate Spade was established in 1993 by former journalist Kate Brosnahan Spade. It expanded quickly and its products stocked by upmarket retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. Although Coach and Kate Spade sell shoes and clothing - the latter is a favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge - both are best-known for their handbags. Kate Spade's handbags have found favour with millennials due to their subtle logos and quirky and colourful designs, including bags shaped like cats and cars. Victor Luis, chief executive of Coach, said the acquisition would allow his firm to target "a new customer segment". Prices for a Kate Spade tote bag starts at about $150 and rise to around $450. A Coach equivalent begins at about $285 but can rise to as much as $2,500. Mr Luis, who took over as chief executive in 2014, has been working to expand Coach's lines and two years ago acquired shoe company Stuart Weitzman. Analysts described Kate Spade as a good fit for Coach. "We like the complementary product assortments, complementary customer bases, potential for synergies," said Mark Altschwager at Robert W. Baird & Co. Crews found the pudding ablaze in a microwave, a Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said. The fire broke out at a flat in Barum Court in Barnstaple at about 19:45 BST on Monday. The service said the damage was confined to the Christmas pudding. Campaigners have worked for 25 years to get the Grade II listed walled garden on the Penllergare Estate repaired and reopened to visitors. Now, Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has earmarked money to help turn it into an "escape from hectic city life". HLF said it could become "a significant tourist destination". Terry Jones of the Penllergare Trust said the group was "really excited" the garden would be saved from "dereliction and inappropriate development". Work will include the refurbishment of the garden's orchid house, which is currently in a state of serious disrepair. The funding follows £2.3m of lottery money already provided to restore Penllergare Valley Woods. The Swedish furniture giant's Shanghai store has seen a strange phenomenon of senior citizens descending upon its famed cafeteria to socialise and even find partners. Locals said it occurs twice weekly, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays. China's state broadcaster CCTV News reported that the elderly patrons would often buy a cup of coffee or some bread and "spend an entire day just chatting with others". They are believed to be part of a dating community, making use of their Ikea membership cards. This week, Ikea put a stop to it by imposing a strict "no food, no seating" rule to discourage senior citizens from occupying canteen seats for "extended periods". In a notice posted at the entrance of the Ikea Shanghai Restaurant, staff identified a "match-making group" and accused it of "uncivilised behaviour". "The situation has adversely affected the dining experience and security of most of our customers," it said, adding that it had received public complaints about "spitting" and "quarrels and fights". "It is having a negative implication for our canteen's operation. From today, the restaurant will only be for people who purchase their food first." The news has attracted attention from netizens on Chinese social media, with many in support of the elderly. "They are harmless," wrote Ed Ed Chiu in a reply to a post by CCTV News on the popular Chinese micro-blogging Sina Weibo platform. Weibo user Lee Xin slammed the move as a "draconian measure" and said it was cruel to elderly patrons. "What wrong are they doing? They are lonely and are probably hoping to find some company again. If anything, the store should practise empathy and at least sympathise with these old people," she said. The move was criticised by some elderly patrons, who spoke to local media outlets. "We've been to fast food outlets like McDonald's - but there are barely any peers there," said an 86-year-old man who went by the name of Qiu. Mr Qiu told the state-controlled Global Times newspaper: "We feel like aliens - surrounded by youngsters. If there is another place in Shanghai where elderly people can gather, we are more than ready to pay twice as much and travel further." But others online voiced support for the store's management, praising its efforts in "maintaining store policy". "Intolerable behaviour," said one Weibo user. "I'm with the management on this. It's deplorable how people are caught photographed sleeping on Ikea displays, what more spitting and swearing in public? This should not be tolerated at all." Another user Lao Gao from Beijing wrote: "To everyone romanticising this, please also consider that the store has an image to uphold while protecting the interests of other paying customers. It is ugly behaviour to take up seats for such long durations while you make others wait." Reporting by the BBC's Grace Tsoi in Hong Kong and Heather Chen in Singapore. Assisted suicide campaigner Bob Cole, 68, a former town councillor in north Wales, travelled to Dignitas on Wednesday from his home in Chester. His wife, Ann Hall, died at the same centre in Zurich last year. Campaign group Dignity in Dying confirmed Mr Cole died on Friday afternoon. The Sun newspaper said Mr Coles' last wish before he died was for the law on assisted dying in the UK to be changed. He had called on MPs to support the Assisted Dying Bill that is due for debate in the House of Commons in September. Under current UK law, 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. Mr Cole, who had been a councillor in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, was diagnosed in June with mesothelioma, a lung cancer caused by asbestos. He told the Sun that he had been left "doubled up in pain" and had "no wish to die in pain without any dignity" after doctors told him he only had months to live. His wife died at the same centre in February 2014 after suffering from the degenerative brain condition, supranuclear palsy. Mr Cole, originally from Manchester, became a vocal campaigner for changes to assisted dying laws - making regular trips to London to demonstrate over the issue. Sarah Wootton, chief executive of Dignity in Dying, said: "Bob's decision is yet another reminder that the current law is broken. "Parliament's job is to fix the law so people like Bob and his wife Ann are no longer forced to travel abroad to simply have control over the manner and timing of their own deaths." However, an expert in end-of-life care, Baroness Ilora Finlay, said she remained opposed to any change in the law. The professor in palliative care at Cardiff University told BBC Radio Wales on Friday that the focus should be on improving care so people are able to maintain dignity as they die, rather than ask doctors to assist in deaths. "The vast majority of doctors don't want to be involved in this," she told Good Morning Wales. "I think it is really dangerous if we change the law and doctors become gatekeepers." She said people were sometimes ending their lives unnecessarily early. "People get the diagnosis wrong and they get the predicted life expectancy wrong," she said. Wednesday sees medics stage a walk-out for the third time - with two more stoppages to follow next month - while lawyers prepare a legal challenge to fight the imposition of the new contract. But while the medical profession busies itself, the government's tactic is relatively simple: it's hoping the whole thing will just go away. Now that may seem pretty far-fetched given the row has dominated the headlines in recent months. But there's good reason to think it will succeed. Firstly, the chances of the judicial review the British Medical Association is pursuing actually stopping the imposition is, by all accounts, slim. And with Europe dominating the media's attention, the government's spin doctors seem pretty confident the issue won't be given the airtime it has had to date. There's also a belief that as the strikes continue and the backlog of patients waiting for operations rises, public support and the appetite of doctors to continue will drop away. What is more, behind the scenes, efforts are being made to get the other two key pillars of the medical profession onside in the drive for more seven-day services. An announcement on more support for GPs to help pave the way for seven-day services is expected soon, while renewed attempts are being made to reach an agreement with consultants about weekend working (talks have been going on since the autumn). Of course, the government's chances of success in both areas is by no means guaranteed. But it's not that much of a stretch of the imagination to see how this dispute could slowly fizzle out bit by bit over the coming months before the new contract starts being rolled out from the summer. But even if that happens, the government's strategy is incredibly risky. Why? By winning this battle, ministers could well end up undermining their long-term strategy as the ripple effect of the dispute could be toxic. It is a point made by Mark Britnell, a man who knows a thing or two about health systems. He worked in the NHS for 20 years, rising to become one of its most senior executives before leaving in 2009, going on to become head of global health for KPMG. "It makes no sense," he told me. "Junior doctors will be crucial in making the changes the NHS needs to cope with all the challenges it faces, but they will be demoralised. "You can't improve services without bringing the staff with you. This could really set the NHS back." But it is not just about intangible things such as morale and attitude. There is a risk this dispute could have a real impact on the numbers staying in the NHS in England. Already many junior doctors' posts are not being filled. Last year one in 10 GP trainee posts went unfilled. The situation was little better for A&E and paediatrics. Even a small increase in these numbers prompted by medics choosing locum work, the pharmaceutical industry or working abroad (or just elsewhere in the UK as the contract is only being introduced in England) has the potential to cause havoc when more and more is being asked of the health service.

Their study of nearly 37,000 people, published in the online journal BMJ Open, said balding men were 32% more likely to have coronary heart disease. However, the researchers said the risks were less than for smoking or obesity. The British Heart Foundation said men should focus on their waistline, not their hairline. A shifting hairline is a fact of life for many men. Half have thinning hair by their 50s and 80% have some hair loss by the age of 70. Researchers at the University of Tokyo sifted through years of previous research into links between hair loss and heart problems. They showed that hair that went thin on the crown was associated with coronary heart disease. This was after adjusting for other risk factors such as age and family history. However, a receding hairline did not seem to affect the risk. Dr Tomohide Yamada, of the University of Tokyo, told the BBC: "We found a significant, though modest, link between baldness, at least on the top of the head, and risk for coronary heart disease. "We thought this is a link, but not as strong as many other known links such as smoking, obesity, cholesterol levels and blood pressure." He said younger men losing hair on the top of their head should focus on improving their lifestyle to ensure they keep their heart healthy. However, he said there was not enough evidence to suggest screening bald men for heart problems. Coronary heart disease is the biggest killer in the UK. One in five men and one in eight women dies of the disease. It is caused by blood vessels that nourish the heart becoming blocked. Any explanation for the link is uncertain. There are ideas about increased sensitivity to male hormones, insulin resistance and inflammation in blood vessels affecting both the heart and the hair. Doireann Maddock, a cardiac nurse with the British Heart Foundation, said: "Although these findings are interesting, men who've lost their hair should not be alarmed by this analysis. "Much more research is needed to confirm any link between male pattern baldness and an increased risk of coronary heart disease. In the meantime, it's more important to pay attention to your waistline than your hairline. "Hereditary hair loss may be out of your control, but many of the risk factors for coronary heart disease are not. Stopping smoking, maintaining a healthy weight and being as active as possible are all things that you can do to help protect your heart." Patrick Wolfe, a professor of statistics at University College London, said: "Right now the link that is seemingly responsible for this relative risk increase is not well understood, and so in future we might look forward to a day when understanding more about the various mechanisms underlying heart disease will tell us more about those underlying male pattern baldness, and vice versa. "In the meantime it's a case of focusing on the things that we can control - our diet, exercise regimens and other risk factors - to lower our overall risk for heart disease."

Men going thin on top may be more likely to have heart problems than their friends with a full head of hair, according to researchers in Japan.

Several gunmen attacked a hotel where officers stay, in the tourist area Las Playas on Sunday evening. Dozens of people had to shelter in shops while shooting continued, until after 23:00 local time (04:00 GMT). One suspected gunman was killed when police returned fire. Officers then chased other gunmen through the streets before securing the area. At the same time, a separate group of gunmen attacked a federal police base in the city. Mexico's federal authorities have called an emergency meeting with the local authorities to discuss the incident. Guerrero state Governor Hector Astudillo Flores told Imagen radio that the gang members were taking revenge for the arrest of their leader, last Friday. Freddy del Valle Berdel, known as "The Donkey," is the presumed leader of the Beltran Leyva drug cartel in Acapulco. "We have information that this is a retaliation for his detention. It was the federal police who arrested him and the attack was against federal police officers," said Mr Astudillo. Some universities in Acapulco have cancelled classes for Monday but local media (link in Spanish) report that according to education authorities, schools will still be open. The US department of state has warned American consular staff not to travel to Acapulco, saying that Guerrero was the most violent state in Mexico in 2015. Tens of thousands of people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico in the past decade.

Police officers came under attack in a two-hour gunfight in the Mexican city of Acapulco, officials say.

University College London expert Sir Michael Marmot said he was "deeply concerned" by the situation, calling it "historically highly unusual". He said it was "entirely possible" austerity was to blame and said the issue needed looking at urgently. But the government said its policies were not responsible. The Department of Health said ministers were providing the necessary support and funding to ensure life expectancy "continues to increase". Using Office for National Statistics projections for babies born since 2000, Sir Michael, who has advised both the government and World Health Organization, showed the rate of increase in life expectancy had nearly halved since 2010 in England. He did not look at other parts of the UK. Between 2000 and 2015, life expectancy at birth increased by one year every five years for women and by one year every 3.5 years for men. But this compares to one year every 10 years for women and one for every six for men post-2010. Sir Michael, who is director of the Institute of Health Equity at UCL, said this showed the growth in life expectancy was "pretty close to having ground to a halt". He said that was "historically highly unusual" given the rising life expectancy seen over the past 100 years. "I am deeply concerned with the levelling off, I expected it to keep getting better." He said it was hard to draw firm conclusions about the cause. But he said it was "entirely possible" austerity had played a role. He explained social factors such as education, employment and working conditions and poverty all affected life expectancy by influencing lifestyles. And as austerity was placing pressures on these, they may in turn be influencing life expectancy. He also highlighted what he said was "miserly" funding settlements for the NHS and social care, which meant the quality of life for older people would have deteriorated and could well affect their life expectancy. This was a particularly pressing issue given the numbers of people with dementia, although that increase in itself may also be playing a role in the levelling off. Sir Michael dismissed the idea that the slowing of life expectancy could be related to humans reaching the outer limit of how long they could live. He said other countries, such as Hong Kong, had longer life expectancy than England and had continued to see consistent rises. And he added it should be a "matter of urgency" to work out exactly what was behind the trend. Other research has suggested there is much more scope for life expectancy to rise. Last year scientists in the US concluded the absolute limit for human life was about 115. Alzheimer's Society chief executive Jeremy Hughes said Sir Michael was right to point the finger of blame at austerity. "Too often we hear the consequences of inadequate, underfunded care - our investigation last year revealed people with dementia left in soiled sheets, becoming ill after eating out of date food, and ending up in costly hospital or care home admissions unnecessarily. "The government has to act before the care system collapses entirely." But a Department of Health spokesman said: "Just last week, the NHS was rated the number one health service in the world. "Life expectancy continues to increase, with cancer survival rates at a record high whilst smoking rates are at an all-time low." And he said investment was being made to ensure the ageing population was "well cared for" with the NHS budget having been increased since 2010 and extra money now being invested in social care. Average life expectancy in England is currently 83 for women and 79.4 for men. The simple answer is to live healthily. That means eating well and exercising regularly. Not smoking and drinking within safe limits is also important. Prevention - in terms of immunisation and screening - plays a key role as does access to good health care when you are sick. People throughout England, and the rest of the UK for that matter, have good access to these through the NHS. And yet there are wide differences in life expectancy. One of the places with the biggest gap in life expectancy - as has been widely reported following the Grenfell Tower fire - is Kensington and Chelsea in London. This is because of so-called social determinants. These cover factors such as housing, education, working conditions and poverty. Experts such as Sir Michael believe these are just as important, if not more, as anything else. And what determines these? Wealth. The richest people in Kensington and Chelsea live 16 years longer than the poorest.

National and regional variations have been included in this list where possible, but please check your local listings for more detailed information. Former Welsh UKIP candidates have warned against allowing high profile figures from outside Wales to stand in the most winnable seats. Former Tory MPs Mark Reckless and Neil Hamilton are seeking nomination. Caroline Jones, of UKIP's national executive committee, told BBC Wales final decisions had not been made. Speaking at the party's conference in Doncaster, she said there was stiff competition for the regional list seats. They are thought to offer UKIP a better chance of election than constituency seats due to proportional representation. Ms Jones - who has put her name forward as a candidate next May - said there were limited places available for regional candidates. "Everyone is contending for them with equal enthusiasm and some people are going to be disappointed if they're not selected," she told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme. "I think there's overexcitement as to who will be selected at the moment and people are just surmising. Nobody knows anything - absolutely nothing." While local branches will choose candidates for the 40 constituencies, the central party is responsible for selecting the regional list contenders. UKIP leader Nigel Farage has insisted that representatives from the "national party and from Wales" will pick the regional list candidates. The party's Welsh leader Nathan Gill said the aim is to select a team supporters could unite behind. New learning materials would be offered to UK schools to publicise jobs in the sector, the Department for Business, Innovations and Skills said. A recent report said limited awareness of cyber-security as a profession had created a skills shortage. One expert said the UK was at risk of being "left behind and at a disadvantage globally". "There's no doubt that as more and more of our lives rely upon the internet, the need for a capable, security-savvy workforce increases," security consultant Graham Cluley explained. "Of course, this goes beyond private enterprises. "The authorities, including the police and intelligence agencies, need experts in computer security to combat online criminals and thwart internet attacks. But he added: "My worry would be that public authorities will not have the budget to properly pay for cyber-security expertise, and the best talent will remain in silos in private enterprise instead." Last month the National Audit Office said a lack of skilled workers was hampering the UK's fight against cyber-crime. The spending watchdog heard from experts who believed it could take "up to 20 years to address the skills gap". The latest plans said teachers would be given training in how to inform children about this new, evolving subject area. Universities and science minister David Willetts said: "Today countries that can manage cyber security risks have a clear competitive advantage. "By ensuring cyber-security is integral to education at all ages, we will help equip the UK with the professional and technical skills we need for long-term economic growth." In addition to the learning materials for those aged 11 to 14, apprenticeship schemes for older pupils would be developed, along with work experience at relevant firms. The proposals were welcomed by the Cyber Security Skills Alliance, a group of organisations promoting cyber-security issues and education. Speaking on its behalf, Sir David Pepper said a national shortage of cyber skills was "a key issue" for businesses and the government in dealing with "the growing threat from cyber-crime". Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC The vessel's hold contained at least 400 boxes of the dead animals, also called scaly anteaters, officials said. The pangolin is highly prized for its meat and scales in China, and for its supposed medicinal properties. Twelve Chinese fishermen have been detained. In January a US navy vessel also ran aground on the same reef. The Chinese vessel crashed into the Tubbataha reefs in the Sulu Sea, a Unesco World Heritage site, on 8 April. "We found 400 boxes containing anteaters aboard the vessel, and we are now determining where these came from," coast guard spokesman, Lt Cdr Armand Balilo, told AFP news agency on Monday. Pangolins sell for hundreds of dollars per kilogram in China and are protected in many Asian countries. The 12 Chinese fishermen, currently detained on Palawan island, could be fined or jailed if they are found guilty of poaching. They also face attempted bribery charges. More charges may be brought following the discovery of the pangolins. The boat is the seventh Chinese fishing vessel caught in the area since 2002, according to a statement from Tubbataha Reefs National Park. The USS Guardian also struck the reef south-east of Palawan island on 17 January. The ship was dismantled to minimise damage to the reef and the US has apologised for the accident. Four navy officers on the minesweeper were relieved of their duties. The Philippines and China have territorial disputes in the South China Sea, and engaged in a lengthy stand-off over the Scarborough shoal last year. However, the Tubbataha reefs lie within Philippine territory, and are not considered a disputed area. According to Unesco, the Tubbataha Reefs National Park is home to a great diversity of marine life. Whales, dolphins, sharks and turtles are among species found there. Mustafa Dossa was found guilty of transporting weapons to Mumbai. The explosions killed 257 people, and were allegedly to avenge the killing of Muslims in riots a few months earlier. The blasts targeted a dozen sites, including the Bombay Stock Exchange, the offices of national carrier Air India and a luxury hotel. Indian media reports say Dossa was admitted to the jail hospital ward after he complained of severe chest pain early on Wednesday. Indian prosecutors had argued that Dossa was one of the "brains" behind the attack and was even more culpable than Yakub Memon, who was hanged for his role in the blasts in 2015, the PTI news agency said. He was found guilty earlier this month, but the court had not pronounced a sentence. Dossa, along with six others, was tried separately for his role in the blasts. The seven men were arrested between 2003 and 2010 and tried separately from Memon as they were arrested towards the end of his trial. A court found six of them guilty of criminal conspiracy and murder. One man was acquitted. When Texan rodeo-riding electrician Ron Woodroof was diagnosed with HIV in 1985, aged 35, he was given 30 days to live. He died seven years later, due to complications from Aids, in September 1992. "Through pure rage and by any means necessary this guy did what he had to do to self-preserve and stay alive," says Matthew McConaughey, who shed nearly 3st 7lb (47lb; 21kg) to play Woodroof in Dallas Buyers Club. "He broke the law, he smuggled things in and he became basically a black-market drug dealer." The film, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, is based on Woodroof's real-life experiences. In the month before his death, Woodroof told screenwriter Craig Borten his story for a film that would ultimately take almost 20 years to get made. Dallas Buyers Club refers to the private members' group that Woodroof and fellow Aids patient Rayon, an invented transgender character played by Jared Leto, established in order to provide alternative - and unauthorised - treatments sourced from abroad. The club was the subject of frequent raids by the police and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). "Ron didn't find a magic cure that kept people alive," says McConaughey. "The drugs that he was selling were keeping people alive longer and they were having healthier lifestyles while they were alive." Both McConaughey and Leto are up for Oscars and considered to be frontrunners in their respective categories (best actor and best supporting actor). Much attention has focused on the huge amount of weight that both actors lost for their roles. McConaughey "chewed a lot of ice" while he got himself down to 10 stone for the majority of the shoot. "I did it in as healthy a way as I found possible," he says. "I met with a nutritionist. I gave myself four months to lose the weight. I had my programmed meals, lost 3.5lb a week - like clockwork - and got down to my desired weight, which turned out to be 47lb lighter." Were there any unexpected side effects? "The surprise was how the energy that I lost from the neck down transferred to the neck up. I became clinically aware, almost hyper, I needed three hours less sleep a night. "I had an amazing amount of energy from the head up. That was something I didn't know was going to happen." According to McConaughey, a similar thing had happened to Ron. "His body was withering away, but from the neck up he was like a starving baby eagle - and he was just savagely clinging to life. He was literally, and figuratively, hungry." To help him get into character, McConaughey had access to Borten's taped interviews with Woodroof. "He would sound like a medical expert or a scientist, and then he would slip in a conspiracy theory and then he would tell a joke, and then lose his train of thought." The actor also met Woodroof's family, who allowed him to read Ron's diary from pre-1985. "There was the man alone on Saturday night before he had HIV, and that was my secret weapon. That gave me the monologue so I could go and have the dialogue [in the film]. "His family was very honest with me about who he was. They didn't try to sugar-coat this man." With this year's Oscars under a month away, McConaughey - along with actress Amy Adams - is in the unusual position of appearing in two films up for best picture. As well as Dallas Buyers Club he has a scene-stealing turn as a chest-beating stockbroker in The Wolf of Wall Street. (Adams is in American Hustle and Her.) How does he feel about his recent run of success? "Well, it feels great. I'm excited about it. I'm proud of the films I've been able to be in - from The Wolf of Wall Street to Mud to Dallas Buyers Club." He calls it a "minor miracle" that Dallas Buyers Club got made at all. It was shot in 25 days for the relatively small budget of $4.9m. Nominated for six Oscars in total, it's already made more than $22m in the US. "It's vital," says McConaughey, "it has translated, it has communicated with people, it's become personal with people. That's something I'm very proud of." Dallas Buyers Club is out in the UK and Ireland on 7 February. They were among several hundred people who occupied private land in the path of a controversial new oil pipeline. Police fired non-lethal rounds and used pepper spray and sound cannon to push protesters back to their main encampment on public land. Skirmishes lasted overnight and continued until early Friday morning. By then, spent bean bag rounds and pepper spray canisters littered the ground as police towed away vehicles that the protesters had burned to create barricades in the road, including several military-grade Humvees. "They used a sonic device and then also they used rubber bullets and we have shots of people who had rubber bullets right to the face. They maced elders right in the face. They dragged people out of sweat lodges. They shot one 15-year-old boy's horse and killed it under him," Jacqueline Keeler from the Sioux tribe told the BBC. She said members of the tribe were protesting because the pipeline threatened the region's water supply went across land never ceded by the tribe. Police said they had fired non-lethal bean bag rounds in response to stone throwing and one woman who fired a pistol three times at police officers without hitting any. Dozens of officers in riot gear, some armed, moved in assisted by trucks and military Humvees. Morton County Sheriff's office said the operation began at 11:15am local time (18:15 GMT) and that protesters had refused to leave voluntarily on Wednesday. Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said the protesters were a "public safety issue" and their actions had "forced law enforcement to respond". "We cannot have protesters blocking county roads, blocking state highways or trespassing on private property," he said in a statement. But Robert Eder, a 64-year-old Vietnam War veteran from the Standing Rock Reservation, said protesters were not scared. "If they take everybody to jail, there will be twice as many tomorrow, and every day that passes more will come," he said. "If they raze these teepees, tomorrow we will be back." Hundreds of protesters have camped on the federally owned land for months, with more than 260 people arrested before Thursday's police operation. Energy Transfer Partners, the company behind the project, has said it will boost the local economy and is safer than transporting oil by rail or road. Members of the Sioux tribe say the Dakota Access pipeline will desecrate sacred land and harm water resources. The pipeline will run almost 1,900km (1,170 miles), carrying oil to Gulf Coast refineries. Native American protesters claim the land as their own, citing a 19th Century treaty with the federal government. The protest has drawn the attention of activists and celebrities, including actress-activist Shailene Woodley and Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein. The loan marks the first time any of the artefacts from the Greek Parthenon have left the UK since they were brought to London by Lord Elgin at the turn of the 19th Century. Shrouded in secrecy, the transfer has raised questions about the statue's security amidst fractious relations between the UK and Russia. The reaction of those campaigning for the return of the Marbles to their original Greek home will also be closely watched. According to the British Museum's Neil MacGregor: "The Hermitage had been planning its 250 year anniversary for some time - and they are really the twin of the British Museum - so a couple of years ago the director, Mikhail Piotrovsky, asked if we might make one big loan to mark the fact we are both the great enlightenment museums. "The trustees said 'yes' and the Hermitage decided what they wanted more than anything else was a symbol of the great shared European heritage and the greatest one of them is one of the Parthenon sculptures." According to The Times, which followed the journey of the Marbles to Russia, it was carefully boxed up on 20 November after a "good dusting" and kept in storage until Tuesday. It was then loaded on to a passenger plane bound for St Petersburg. Among the passengers, only its courier was aware of the important artefact stowed in the cargo hold. Neil McGregor said: "The British Museum lends great sculptures all around the world. There are lots of sculptures from the British Museum elsewhere in the world. "Anyone who has been to the Parthenon gallery in the past week will have seen that it's not on show and we simply said it was being prepared for a display." The British Museum will have ensured the standard procedures for loaning works are in place. It has an official letter from Russia's Ministry of Culture guaranteeing the statue will be under the protection of the Russian Federation. The UK has made similar assurances to Russia in the past. In 2007, parliament implemented a law to protect Russian paintings from being impounded on British soil because of disputes over ownership. The change in legislation was brought forward at the behest of the Russian culture ministry, which had threatened to block the export of the paintings by Van Gogh and Matisse, amongst others, for an exhibition at the Royal Academy. Sir Anthony Brenton, who was British Ambassador to Russia during the time of the law change, says not. Recalling the negotiations, he told the BBC that Russian had given no assurances it would introduce reciprocal legislation for "immunity from seizure". However, his advice was that Russia is not so law-bound that it would be possible for an artwork to be seized against the wishes of the government. He added that the government had promised to return the Marbles and so that will happen - particularly because it wants other institutions to lend it artworks in the future. Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras pulled no punches in his reaction to the news. "The decision by the British Museum to give out on loan one of the Parthenon sculptures for exhibit in St Petersburg is an affront to the Greek people," he said. "The Parthenon and its Marbles have been looted. The sculptures are priceless. We Greeks are one with our history and civilization, which cannot be broken up, loaned out, or conceded. Speaking earlier on BBC Radio 4, the British Museum's Neil McGregor had expressed his hopes for a more positive response. "I hope that they will be very pleased that a huge new public can engage with the great achievements of ancient Greece. "People who will never be able to come to Athens or London will now, here in Russia, understand something of those great achievements in Greek civilisation." But the chairman of the Marbles Reunited campaign, Liberal Democrat MP Andrew George, said: "Neil MacGregor justifies his decision by claiming that these sculptures should be 'shared and enjoyed by as many people... as possible'. "But these sculptures have not been 'shared and enjoyed' by the Greeks for over 200 years, since they were purloined in a dodgy deal by Lord Elgin during a period when Greece was occupied by the Ottomans." On the agenda will be choosing a replacement for chief executive Martin Winterkorn, who resigned on Wednesday. Reports have said that the front-runner for the top job is Porsche chief executive Matthias Mueller. VW is also expected to dismiss executives tainted by the scandal over the rigging of emissions tests by software in its diesel cars in the US. Some investors have suggested that appointing a new chief executive only two days after the old one resigned might be rushing things. Sasja Beslick from Nordea, which is one of Volkswagen's biggest investors, told the BBC: "I think this is just a panic reaction from the board of the company." But he added that there could be benefits from a quick appointment. "They really need to reinstate the trust of the markets and one of the potential best ways of doing that is to appoint a new head and try to tie all the bad or irresponsible things to the old one." It is also being reported that VW may be discussing changes to its corporate structure. 11 million Vehicles affected worldwide €6.5bn Set aside by VW $18bn Potential fines No. 1 Global carmaker in sales I'm a VW owner - what should I do? What next for VW? Car emissions tests: Not fit for purpose? VW boss Winterkorn's highs and lows VW scandal explained Also on Friday, further details of the brands and locations of the 11 million cars involved in the scandal are due to be set out. US authorities found that software in a particular diesel engine used by Volkswagen could detect when it was being tested and reduce the emissions produced. It meant that the emissions in actual driving were considerably higher than those found during testing. German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced on Friday that the rigging of emissions tests involved light vans and not just cars. On Thursday, the UK regulator announced that it would be launching its own investigation into emissions testing. The Vehicle Certification Agency plans to re-run lab tests where necessary and then compare the results with emissions from "real-world" testing conditions. The European Commission has already agreed a Real Driving Emission (RDE) test procedure, which it will introduce next year, but it has not yet decided what to do if there is a significant different between lab tests and RDE tests. The VW board is meeting. So what can we expect? A new chief executive for a start, and the name on everyone's lips is that of Matthias Mueller, the Porsche CEO. There are others in the frame, but Mr Mueller is the clear favourite. On the other side of the coin, more heads will roll. Four names are being bandied around in the German press and they are all very senior people. Following the resignation of Martin Winterkorn earlier this week, it's looking like a major bloodletting exercise. And VW tell us we should get more precise details about which brands and models carried the so-called "defeat switch" designed to get cars through emissions tests, while allowing them to spew out illegal levels of pollution. So yes, it could be quite a day here in Wolfsburg. Matthias Mueller comes from an engineering background and certainly knows the brands involved, having joined VW-owned Audi in 1977. He was put in charge of all vehicle projects for Volkswagen in 2003. He is seen as a likely successor because he is popular with the families that control VW. He was already being cited as a likely successor to Mr Winterkorn in April, during the power struggle with then-chairman Ferdinand Piech. Porsche is owned by Volkswagen, but confusingly, VW itself is controlled by Porsche SE, the holding company, which Mr Mueller is already on the board of. Another potential successor is Herbert Diess, the current head of the Volkswagen brand. Mr Diess only joined VW from BMW in July, so will not be tainted by the scandal. He had a reputation for cost-cutting at BMW, having worked across the group, including a spell at BMW's Mini plant in Oxford. Given the losses already expected as a result of the emissions scandal, cost-cutting is likely to be a priority. If the board decides to look outside Volkswagen it may consider Elmar Degenhart, chairman and chief executive of the tyremaker Continental. Being head of a supplier to the car industry means he would be safe even if the investigations sparked by the emissions scandal were to extend to other car companies. Hans Dieter Potsch, who began his career at BMW, is chief financial officer of both Volkswagen and the controlling Porsche SE. He was tipped earlier this month to become the new chairman of VW, replacing Ferdinand Piech, although he could not do so until he had been elected onto the supervisory board by shareholders in November. His reported board-level support for the post suggests he could also be brought in as chief executive. Rupert Stadler heads up VW's Audi brand, and is the third of the big brand-bosses in the frame to potentially be the next overall chief executive. Being in charge of Audi also puts him in control of Ducati, Lamborghini and a chunk of Bayern Munich football club. Before the emissions scandal he was being tipped as a possible replacement for Hans Dieter Potsch as chief financial officer. He is unusual among the frontrunners because he comes from a finance background instead of engineering. Media playback is not supported on this device Scotland ran in five tries in the 41-31 win, with brothers Jonny and Richie Gray, Stuart Hogg, Sean Maitland and Tommy Seymour all crossing. Cotter said: "I really enjoyed watching the players play for each other against Argentina. "It was fantastic, as was our ability to get over the line and score." The New Zealander added: "The XV who started last weekend played very well and, since we only have a short time together, it's good to be able to reinforce these combinations and the team cohesion." Saturday's man of the match, Greig Laidlaw, will once again orchestrate the Scots' back division alongside stand-off Finn Russell and a young midfield partnership of Alex Dunbar and Mark Bennett. Packing down with the second-row Gray brothers is the experienced front-row trio of Alasdair Dickinson, Ross Ford and Euan Murray - and the back-row combination of Rob Harley, Blair Cowan and Adam Ashe. Cotter has made changes to Scotland's replacements' bench. Glasgow Warriors forwards Fraser Brown (hooker) and Tim Swinson (lock) replace Scott Lawson and Jim Hamilton, while Johnnie Beattie and Chris Cusiter come in for Alasdair Strokosch and the injured Henry Pyrgos. The head coach was also forced into a late change after second row Tim Swinson injured his back in training. He has been replaced by back row forward David Denton And, while Cotter knows earning a first-ever win over the world champion All Blacks is a tall order, he insists Scotland have a chance of making history at Murrayfield. "We showed last weekend that we're developing an attack that can cause opposition teams problems," he added. "If we can force the All Blacks into making errors then we can give ourselves a chance. "But we do know that we're coming up against a very aggressive defence and a very strong attack. "They are relentless and probably improve during the game." Scotland team to play New Zealand: Stuart Hogg; Sean Maitland, Mark Bennett, Alex Dunbar, Tommy Seymour; Finn Russell, Greig Laidlaw; Alasdair Dickinson, Ross Ford, Euan Murray, Richie Gray, Jonny Gray, Rob Harley, Blair Cowan, Adam Ashe. Replacements: Fraser Brown, Gordon Reid, Geoff Cross, Dave Denton, Johnnie Beattie, Chris Cusiter, Duncan Weir, Sean Lamont. On Friday jurors at the inquest of Daniel Hegarty unanimously found that he posed no risk when he was shot twice in Londonderry during Operation Motorman in July 1972. His cousin Christopher was wounded. Daniel's sister Margaret Brady said she wanted the courts to tell the soldier he had committed a crime. "Justice has been done, but at the end of the day this man should be prosecuted. "I'm not out for revenge, I'm just out for the truth." The family's solicitor, Des Doherty, said prosecutions were now a "definite possibility". "The full rigour of the law has to be applied and it is now of course a matter for the coroner," the solicitor said. "This case was not about vengeance. It was about justice." The jury rejected claims that warnings had been shouted to the two teenagers before they were shot. The operation was aimed at reclaiming "no go areas" in the city from the IRA. Daniel, who was a labourer, was shot twice in the head by a soldier close to his home in Creggan. His cousin Christopher, 16, was shot in the head by the same soldier but survived. The jury found that none of the soldiers present attempted to "approach the injured youths to either search them or provide medical assistance". Mr Doherty said the record had now been "set straight". This is the second inquest into Daniel's death. The initial inquest was held in 1973 and recorded an open verdict. A second inquest was ordered by the Attorney General in 2009 following an examination by the Historical Enquiries Team. The report found that the RUC investigation at the time was "hopelessly inadequate and dreadful". The inquest opened on Monday and heard from Daniel's sister Margaret Brady. She described how her mother continued to set a place for him at the table and call him for dinner for months after his death. In 2007, the British government apologised to the Hegarty family after describing Daniel as a terrorist. Northumbria Police said the 18-year-old was attacked in Keelman's Lane just off St Luke's Road, Sunderland, just before midnight on Saturday. Officers said a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of rape on Monday. He is currently in custody helping police with their inquiries, a force spokeswoman confirmed. Lord Fellowes was presented with the honorary Founders award by Downton actress Elizabeth McGovern, who plays the Countess of Grantham. The only other British winner was Sky's 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy in the non-scripted entertainment category. France was the big winner of the night, taking home three awards including best drama series. That was won by crime thriller Engrenages - which is shown on BBC Four under the translated name of Spiral. It won the award for its fifth series. Executive producer Anne Landois paid tribute to the victims of the recent Paris terror attacks and thanked police for their efforts "to preserve our values". Engrenages star Caroline Proust added: "I would like to dedicate this award to the victims of despair and hate, and I hope that love and generosity will win in France and all over the world." 'Mum so happy!' The Man Who Saved the Louvre - a film about Jacques Jaujard, the director of the French National Museums during the Nazi occupation of France - won best arts programming, while Soldat Blanc (White Soldier) won the TV movie/mini-series award. It tells the story of two soldiers, former friends who become deadly enemies during the Indochina war. 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy follows Irish TV presenter Baz Ashmawy as he takes his 71-year-old mother on thrill-seeking adventures including skydiving and alligator wrangling. Ashmawy tweeted a picture of himself and his mother after the awards saying: "Thanks everyone for all the love I'm very touched. Mum so happy!" Brazilian television won two Emmys: Best telenovela - a limited-run serial drama - for Imperio (Empire) and best comedy for Doce de Mae (Sweet Mother). Best actor went to Maarten Heijmans of the Netherlands for Ramses, which chronicles the rise and fall of popular Dutch singer Ramses Shaffy. Norway's Anneke von der Lippe won best actress Emmy for Eyewitness, in which she plays a small town police chief caught in the middle of a murder investigation. Ben, 27, is a team-mate of hooker and captain Tom, 30, at Leicester Tigers and the pair will play in the remainder of the Premiership season for the club. Scotland scrum-half Greig Laidlaw replaces Ben Youngs on the Lions tour. "We are a very close family and, as I am sure everyone can respect, time is now precious together," said Ben. "The most important thing for me at this difficult time is to be able to offer as much support as I can to Tom and his family in the remaining time we all have together." Tom Youngs' wife Tiffany was diagnosed with cancer in 2014 and he pulled out of England's tour of New Zealand that year to care for her. The brothers played in Leicester's 28-23 win over Worcester on Saturday, with Tom scoring the Tigers' try. Leicester will play at Wasps in the Premiership semi-final on 20 May, with the winners going through to the final at Twickenham on 27 May. The Lions fly to New Zealand on 29 May and their first match is on 3 June. Ben, who had been selected in the 41-man squad for his second Lions tour, informed head coach Warren Gatland of his decision this weekend. "We fully understand and respect Ben's decision to stay at home," said Gatland. "Family comes first and I know from having toured with Tom and Ben in 2013 how close they are. This is a difficult and important time for them and we send Ben, Tom and their family our heartfelt thoughts." Ben has won 70 caps for England and two for the Lions in the 2-1 series win against Australia in 2013, starting the second Test alongside Tom. Wales' Rhys Webb and Ireland's Conor Murray are the other scrum-halves in Gatland's squad. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a name-and-shame list, as part of its review of the savings market. Six organisations, including HSBC, offer rates on cash of 0.05% or less, even before tax is taken into account. A further six banks or building societies, including Santander, offer rates as low as 0.1%. The FCA pointed out that the institutions named do offer higher returns on other accounts, and urged savers to switch to better deals. The return on cash accounts available in-branch was the poorest, followed by Individual Savings Accounts (Isas) in-branch. For those with £1,000 to invest, some will therefore be getting as little as 10p a year in interest. Among Isa accounts, the lowest interest rate was 0.1%, offered by Santander. Another ten banks offer 0.5% or less. The FCA is calling it "sunlight data" - as the figures shine a light on the lowest rates being offered. As a trial, the list will be published every six months for the next year and a half. At the same time as publishing the list, the FCA announced new measures to force firms to provide clearer information on interest rates. From December 2016, banks and building societies will have to tell consumers when interest rates change, and when introductory offers run out. The new rules will include: "With many savers never switching because they don't think it will make a difference, our rules will help consumers get the information they need to shop around," said Christopher Woolard, director of Strategy and Competition at the FCA. "In a good market, providers should be competing to offer the best possible deal and should a consumer wish to move accounts, they should be able to do so with the minimum of fuss." The consumer association Which? described the announcement as a step forward. "These reforms, when they're eventually in place, should inject some much needed competition into the market and help consumers move away from savings accounts with dismal rates," said Richard Lloyd, the executive director of Which? The Premier League's bottom side issued a statement later that day denying they had sacked the 51-year-old. "They don't want to get rid of me," Pearson said after Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Arsenal. "I'm here. I had lunch with the owners today. "My relationship remains very good, professionally and personally." He added: "I'm more than within my rights to move on from that situation now." Pearson said he spoke to Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur on Monday after the pair tangled on the touchline in Leicester's defeat on Saturday. "It was a friendly chat and the lad comes out of it with an awful lot of credit in defusing the situation," said Pearson, who avoided FA punishment for the altercation. Owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who bought Leicester in 2010, sat one seat in front of Pearson in the stands during the first half and the pair were spotted laughing at one point. Laurent Koscielny and Theo Walcott gave Arsenal a 2-0 lead before Andrej Kramaric pulled a goal back. He was denied a late equaliser by Arsenal keeper David Ospina to leave Leicester five points adrift of Premier League safety. "I'm getting a bit tired of talking about being an unlucky side," Pearson added. "It's all well and good talking about performances. It's all right looking on the bright side of life but ultimately it's about winning games and we continue to be under scrutiny because of the position we are in." Stevens took 6-22 in the second innings to help Kent earn a 334-run victory on Sunday in their first Championship Division Two game of the season. The 40-year-old medium-pace bowler has taken 367 first-class wickets, including 98 over the past two seasons. "Not bad for a 60-year-old is it?" Walker joked to BBC Radio Kent. "He is a bit of a fine wine is Darren, with the ball especially he does just seem to get better. "It doesn't matter how fast or slow you bowl or whatever level of cricket you play, if you bowl the ball in the right areas enough, you're going to be in the shake-up of getting wickets. "And mixed in with that, Darren's skill levels are so huge. The craft he has with the ball is exceptional, it was an absolute masterclass of skill and accuracy." They say some people have died because they have not received proper medical treatment. Some women whose husbands died from Ebola say the government has not provided them with the support it promised, meaning their children cannot go to school. There has been no response so far from the authorities. Sierra Leone Association of Ebola Survivors head Yusuf Kabbah told the BBC's Umaru Fofana that Ebola survivors had been abandoned with no clear recovery plan for them. Nearly 4,000 people died from Ebola in the recent outbreak in Sierra Leone and more than 10,000 people are believed to have survived, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. The previous Labour government intended it to be one of nine regional bases to replace 46 control rooms in England, but plans were scrapped in 2010. It is owned by the Department of Communities and Local Government and costs the taxpayer £137,000 per month. Computer issues meant it was never opened and the plan was eventually scrapped by the coalition government. The government has the lease for the building at Blackbrook Business Park for another 15 years. It has now instructed property management company GVA to rent the building for some £450,000 a year. Ben O'Connor, from GVA, described the building as an "oven-ready solution for a wide range of potential occupiers looking for a high specification finish, in-built technology and a resilient, extremely secure environment." Last year Devon and Somerset Fire Authority had enquired about taking over the building but talks with the government broke down after failing to agree an acceptable rate. In July, Conservative minister Baroness Hanham wrote an update on the situation on behalf of the Department of Communities and Local Government. She said that public sector tenants had been sought but the net was now being widened to attract tenants from a wider range of organisations including those from the private sector. "We have taken firm steps to reduce the costs of the unused control centres. For example, the facilities management bill has been reduced by 25% and the utilities bill by 35%," she added. "While we will continue to seek to drive down these costs to make savings for the taxpayer, the largest saving will come from finding suitable tenants to take over the buildings." The 30,000sq ft empty fire centre was intended to serve the South West from Gloucestershire to Cornwall. The Transocean Winner rig ran aground at Dalmore on Lewis in a storm in early August while being towed to Malta. It was refloated after three weeks and anchored at Broad Bay on Lewis before being put on board the Hawk last week. Paperwork problems caused further delays but it was given permission to set sail earlier and left at 20:05. The Turkish authorities had to provide the documentation that will allow the drilling rig to eventually be taken to a yard in Turkey where it will be scrapped. Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's Representative Maritime and Salvage Intervention, said: "At 5pm today I advised the Master of the Hawk that he had my permission to weigh anchor and proceed on the voyage in accordance with the agreed passage plan. "The UK Coastguard will continue to monitor its passage until it leaves the UK search and rescue region. Weather permitting, the voyage to Malta will take approximately two weeks." The rig's grounding on 8 August sparked pollution fears due to the 280 tonnes of diesel on board. Investigations found two of its four fuel tanks were damaged in the incident which resulted in the loss of 53,000 litres of fuel, most of which is thought to have evaporated with no damage to the environment. Transocean, the owner of the rig, has donated £120,000 to Dalmore and Carloway, the communities closest to where the structure washed up in early August. Last week, Transocean Winner was floated on to the deck of the Hawk, a semi-submersible ship used for transporting large maritime structures over long distances. This part of the salvage operation had required calm weather and was done within a shortening timescale. The Hawk was only days away from leaving for another task and the rig's owner, Transocean, were faced with either bringing in another heavy lift vessel or leaving Transocean Winner temporarily anchored over winter. The 22-year-old has been sidelined since December and was not expected to be fit until the play-offs. Slade was stretchered off during his side's 41-21 victory against Wasps. "Henry is very close. He is out there now and he has done a full week's training this week," head coach Rob Baxter told BBC Sport. "I suppose with the amount of running he has done, he has done a lot more, but what you would say is that this is the first time he has started a week and he has been selectable as a full-on player. "So he is there and we would now class him as fit for selection and whether that means we select him this week, or it is a little early still, we will decide and announce the team later in the week." Exeter host Newcastle Falcons in the Premiership on Saturday. Keith Burgess, a neighbourhood officer in Southampton, allegedly asked another girl for naked photos as "payment" for helping her family. The married 42-year-old used his position to befriend parents and gain access to their daughters, the trial at Guildford Crown Court was told. He denies grooming, sexual assault, making indecent photos and misconduct. The court heard a 16-year-old was sexually assaulted twice at her family home in May 2015. On one occasion Mr Burgess is said to have put his hands under her clothing in the kitchen while her parents were watching TV in the lounge. The teenager told her family and PC Burgess was arrested while on duty. His mobile phone revealed contact with two other teenagers, including messages of a sexual nature, the jury heard. Prosecutors said he asked the girls, aged 15 and 17, to send him naked selfies and paid the younger one a total of £220 as an "allowance". The court heard PC Burgess was "trusted and respected" by families in the Newtown area where he worked. He told police the 16-year-old girl had said it was "OK" to touch her. The officer, of Cheviot Drive, Dibden Purlieu, faces three charges of sexual assault, three of misconduct in public office, one child grooming offence and two charges of making indecent photographs. The trial continues. Mark Donnelly, 22, from Greencastle Road, Omagh, County Tyrone, denies manslaughter. This week the jury failed to reach a verdict in the case. Mr McGovern was found dead at a friend's house after he was attacked on New Year's Eve 2012 in Omagh. Mr Donnelly was in Dungannon Crown Court on Friday to hear a prosecution lawyer say his instructions were to proceed with a second trial. The lawyer said he had taken instruction from the Director of Public Prosecutions. A defence lawyer said he had consulted with his senior QC, and given the "intensive" media coverage, all they would ask is for a reasonable time to elapse before the case goes to court again. The judge, who said it was a matter of balance, between that and having the case dealt with reasonably expediently, agreed to postpone the retrial until early in the New Year, possibly by the end of February. Although there was a suggested date for the last week of February 2015, the prosecution lawyer said he would check on the availability of prosecution witnesses and report back to the court by next week in an effort to meet the new date. White rhino Lucy, who weighs two tonnes, has been moved to Blair Drummond, near Stirling, from West Midland safari park in Worcestershire. A team of experts used a crane to lower her into the rhino enclosure after the journey of more than 300 miles. In exchange, two-year-old female Ailsa has been transported to the Worcestershire park from Scotland. The swap aims to avoid in-breeding within rhino populations. Lucy will be given time to adjust to her new surroundings before being introduced to the park's other rhinos - Dot, Graham and their five-month-old calf, Angus. It is hoped that Lucy and Graham - Blair Drummond's only mature bull rhino - will eventually mate. Chris Lucas, head of large mammals at Blair Drummond safari park, said it was necessary to swap the rhinos because Ailsa did not have an appropriate male rhino with which to mate. He said: "The only mature bull rhino we've got here is her father (Graham) so it's not practical to keep her here." He added: "Exchanges are becoming more common now. "Lots of zoos and safari parks across Europe are working together with the idea of exchanging their rhinos in order to maximise the breeding potential of the captive European population." White rhinos are classed as "near threatened" in the wild, with a population of only 17,500. Media playback is not supported on this device The Swans were poor in the first half as Pep Guardiola's side led 1-0 through Gabriel Jesus' strike. Gylfi Sigurdsson levelled for the Swans after 81 minutes, but Jesus scored in injury time to give the hosts the win. "We have belief in each other that we're a good side and can play good football," Clement said. "We believe we can defend and we're going to need to do that as we've got 14 games to go and we have to do that in every one. "If we keep performing like we did in the second half, then I have belief that we will not be in the bottom three by the end of the season." Conceding late and not being able to see out a point was frustrating for Clement, who believed his side played well enough not to come away from the north west empty handed. "With nine minutes to go and the additional time, you're hoping that you can see that out and take a very valuable point," Clement said. "I'm not sure we deserved to win the game based on the way we played over the whole 90 minutes, but certainly enough to draw the game. "I'm very disappointed not only with the timing of the second goal, but the circumstances of it of it as well." Clement believes there are at least six teams who could be involved in fighting relegation as the season draws to a close. But he believes they have a lot to build on before facing fellow strugglers Leicester in a week's time. After Swansea's defeat, Manchester United won 3-0 at Leicester. That left the Foxes one spot above Swansea in 16th and tied on 21 points with Clement's team. "Certainly [Swansea can take credit] from the second half but not from the first half. "Hopefully it's given the team some additional belief that they can come anywhere and perform," he added. "They did that in the second half and that's something to build on." He spent the first day of the offensive with the special forces troops of the Emergency Response Division as they cleared villages south of the city. Here are some of his pictures. There were 196 assaults on staff and prisoners in a six month period at HMP Pentonville. The north London prison is also run-down, according to HM Inspectorate of Prisons. The report follows an inspection in January and said progress had been made, but it was still not safe enough. Jamal Mahmoud, 21, died after being stabbed in the prison on 18 October. Two men have been charged with murder. Nearly three weeks later, two other inmates escaped. Both have been found. The report found: It said measures had been taken to address disorder and limit the supply of drugs, as well as improve staff-prisoner relationships. Pentonville Prison Ch Insp of prisons Peter Clarke said: "It is clear that Pentonville remains an immensely challenging prison and that outcomes for prisoners remain, in many respects, not good enough. "However, we were encouraged to see at this inspection a tangible sense of purpose and optimism among the governor and his senior management team, which were having a galvanising effect on the staff group as a whole." Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said the report illustrated the scale of the challenge and "the need for urgency to resolve the many problems in our failing prison system". Michael Spurr, chief executive of HM Prison & Probation Service, said: "Pentonville has been through a very challenging period and I'm pleased the Inspectorate have recognised progress has been made." A report by the watchdog said it was investigating 11 chemical-weapon attacks alleged by Syria's government. In one case, blood samples showed victims had been exposed to sarin or a sarin-like substance. The OPCW did not say when or where the attacks occurred, or which side in the five-year conflict was responsible. Hundreds were killed when rockets filled with sarin were fired at several opposition-held suburbs of the capital Damascus in 2013. Western powers said only the government could have been responsible, but it blamed rebels. The results of the OPCW's fact-finding mission were contained in the latest report on Syria from the group's Director General Ahmet Uzumcu, which was attached in a letter by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to the UN Security Council. "In one instance, analysis of some blood samples indicates that individuals were at some point exposed to sarin or a sarin-like substance," he added. "Further investigation would be necessary to determine when or under what circumstances such exposure might have occurred." The Syrian government agreed to destroy its chemical arsenal after the 2013 attack. The 1,300 tons of chemical weapons it declared - including the precursor chemicals combined to produce Sarin - have since been destroyed. Despite this, the OPCW has documented the use of toxic chemicals, such as chlorine and ammonia, in a series of deadly attacks on rebel-held northern villages between April and July 2014. The jihadist group Islamic State (IS) has also been accused of using chemical weapons, including sulphur mustard. The OPCW said the blister agent was used in an attack on the northern town of Marea in August that killed a baby. Last month, opposition activists said at least five people were had been in a suspected chemical weapons attack outside Damascus. The victims reportedly suffocated to death after government rockets and barrel bombs struck the rebel-held suburb of Muadhamiya. Media playback is not supported on this device They eventually won 3-1 to move eighth - four points above 11th place. But asked whether Callum Booth's goal 15 minutes from time had started the nerves jangling, McGhee joked they had started long before that. "At 3-0 I'm nervous; the way we've been we're capable of anything," the Fir Park manager told BBC Scotland. "That includes losing three goals in the last 15 minutes so I was never comfortable." Media playback is not supported on this device McGhee had spoken before the match of the fine margins involved in winning and losing, with many of the teams in the Premiership well-matched in his view. "It's my turn today to stand here with the points and say my team did well and things went for us," he said after the game. "That is the nature of the league. Next week it'll probably be Partick Thistle. "We went and beat Dundee United - I felt comfortably - and they've then won their next two games. "The thing about this division is that we're all capable of winning and losing to each other. "We needed the three points and we went after it, we played three up front and two very attacking midfielders so we went out to win the game." Motherwell's victory lifts them above Thistle, who slip to ninth in the table, though they have three games in hand on most of their rivals. Nonetheless, Thistle manager Alan Archibald accepts they are still very much in the thick of the battle to avoid a relegation play-off. "We've always been in a battle to survive," he said. "I said yesterday we were three (points) from the top (six) and three from 11th place, so we're very much in it. "You need to put a good run together to get away from it. We've done that to get ourselves mid-table. With the games called off, we've sunk back down. "You see how quickly things change. We were eighth before the game and Motherwell have jumped ahead of us again and I think that's going to happen from now until the end of the season."

Lula was briefly held for questioning on 4 March as part of a massive corruption investigation involving the state-oil company, Petrobras. While Vitor's brother and his parents cheer when they hear the news, the 26-year-old thinks the federal police overstepped the mark. A heated political discussion ensues. Similar scenes are playing out at the homes of many families in Brazil, where the popular former leader is dividing opinion. Profile: Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva What the scandal is about Lula: The most hated and loved man in Brazil At the Chiarellos', Vitor is the only one backing Lula's left-wing policies. He was granted a ProUni scholarship, a programme created by Lula's government in 2004 to help students from poorer families pay for private higher education. The scholarship is one of the examples Vitor names as being part of Lula's legacy, but his relatives are not convinced. "It's clear to me that Lula is an egotistical and narcissistic person who only does things for himself", Vito's mother, Marly, says. "The scholarship Vitor was awarded is simply what we get back from the taxes we pay", adds her husband, Oswaldo Gabriel. Leandro Piquet Carneiro, a professor at Universidade de Sao Paulo's Centre for Research in Public Policy, says the arguments families like the Chiarellos mirror the current polarisation in Brazilian politics. "This is the first time that a leftist government that was once able to rely on strong support from both educated and less-educated sectors of society finds itself in trouble. Now those who support the government find themselves under attack even within their own families," Mr Carneiro says. But he says Brazil has not yet become as divided as other neighbours in the region. "As lively as the debate here is, we are still moderate compared to what is going on in Argentina, Venezuela and Chile, for example," he says. Mr Carneiro says that broader access to information and the internet have fanned the debate. But he warns that the internet can also isolate people from opinions other than their own. "You tend to connect to your network of contacts and that defines the kind of information you receive," he says. "Add to that the fact that people rely less and less upon information provided by professional journalists, who are capable to moderate these topics more appropriately," he explains. Twenty-seven-year old actor Guilherme Carrasco Neto says he feels "cornered" when talking politics with his family. Mr Neto is critical of the way Lula was taken away by police for questioning, which he says was an attempt to portray the ex-leader as a criminal. He says his relatives gang up on him when he defends the former leader. His mother is very critical of the Workers' Party (PT) administration and while his father tries to tone down the debate when it gets too heated, Mr Neto says that when his brother and sister-in-law pitch in it is "overwhelming". "My brother is opposed to the policies of the Workers' Party. I am not a party member, but I do respect the social advances brought about by their government," he says. Mr Neto says that his sister-in-law is one of those who benefitted from Lula's policies. She, too, was awarded a ProUni scholarship and got her degree in economics thanks to that scholarship. Mr Neto says he often thinks of bringing this up in an argument with his anti-Lula sister-in-law but has so far refrained in order to avoid a row. Mr Neto's older brother Daniel is 35. He thinks Guilherme has a "romanticised view" of politics which he blames on his youth. "He [Guilherme] believes that capitalism and the market economy are bad," Daniel Neto says. "He thinks that businessmen must be regulated. We try to teach him that you can't produce if you don't make money. "Handing out money to people won't stimulate growth." Daniel Neto's view is typical of those who are critical of Lula. They argue that the former president's popularity was propped up by the economic stability Brazil experienced during his two mandates from 2003 to 2011, a stability they say was fuelled by a boom in commodity prices rather than Lula's economic policies. With the Brazilian economy going through its worst recession in two decades, Daniel Neto reckons that the only way out of the current political and economic crisis is to impeach Lula's protege and successor in office, President Dilma Rousseff. "This government is a total fiasco. We expected it to be bad but it's turned out worse," he says of Ms Rousseff's administration. "The corruption scandals and Ms Rousseff's incapacity to play the political game is ruining the country," he says. And as for Lula's generous social programmes, the former leader "only distributed the extra money that came in," he says. "He's a crook," he adds. Imtiaz Ul Haq, 58, suffered serious injuries to his throat during the incident at the Costcutter store in Queensferry, Flintshire, last December. One man, Matthew Whelan, 29, from Mancot, has already pleaded guilty to robbery and attempted murder. His alleged accomplice Leslie Peter Baines, 47, from Connah's Quay, is on trial for robbery at Mold Crown Court. The prosecution's case is that Mr Baines was aware of Whelan's attack on Mr Ul Haq but did nothing. The court was told the men had spent the night before the robbery drinking together at a house in Queensferry. The pair walked to Costcutter just before 18:30 on 8 December, with CCTV showing Mr Baines entering the shop followed by Whelan who was armed with a knife. Whelan went behind the counter and attacked Mr Ul Haq but Mr Baines remained at the scene, the court was told. He told a police officer that his fingerprints would be found on Mr Ul Haq's mobile phone as he used it to phone 999 for an ambulance. Whelan was arrested within the hour at a nearby caravan park. Police viewed CCTV and then Mr Baines was arrested at 01:30 on 9 December. A search of a garden shed found clothing including a black jacket appearing to be stained with blood. The trial continues. Media playback is not supported on this device The visitors, sitting bottom of the table, had limited the leaders to a Stuart Armstrong strike against the woodwork until Dembele struck. The French striker curled home a superb shot on the stroke of half-time. Dembele scored his second after 59 minutes from the penalty spot after Kieran Tierney was brought down by Massimo Donati. Celtic's 15th consecutive win in all competitions means they retain their 24-point lead over Aberdeen, who beat Ross County. Accies remain one point behind Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who had lifted themselves off the bottom with Friday's win over Rangers. Celtic were in command of this game, but that alone was not enough to overcome Hamilton. The visitors were disciplined, well-organised and spirited, while their hosts lacked the edge and intensity that has distinguished the best of their work this season. The game became a test of Celtic's patience until Dembele delivered a moment of improvisation and exquisite technique. Spinning on the ball then dragging it past Massimo Donati, he made room 25 yards from goal then lifted a shot over Hamilton goalkeeper Gary Woods and into the far corner of the net. It was striking enough for goalkeeper Craig Gordon to wait for his team-mate at the side of the pitch as the players left at half-time and congratulate him. Dembele almost added a second early in the second half, but his shot from Tierney's cross was deflected wide. The Celtic full-back still managed to create a goal for Dembele, though, being brought down inside the area for a penalty that the French striker converted calmly. Not for the first time this season, much of Hamilton's play was solid and dependable. They set up to contain Celtic and their work was diligent and thorough enough to frustrate the home side. Darian MacKinnon was typically bullish in central midfield, while Danny Redmond kept trying to prompt counter-attacks from deep positions. Steven Boyd, a graduate of the club's youth academy, looked promising up front, but mostly Hamilton were trying to maintain their hold on a clean sheet. Redmond did shoot wide early on and one break upfield ended with MacKinnon playing Dougie Imrie in, but he sliced his shot wide of the goal. The visitors had a claim for a penalty late on, when Gramoz Kurtaj went down inside the area, but the Hamilton forward was booked for diving instead. Just before the end, Eamonn Brophy also had a header tipped over by Gordon. Hamilton were bottom of the table before kick-off and there is no sense of panic at the club, but this was a difficult day for the visitors. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "When teams sit in that deep, it's always difficult. For spells in the first half we closed up our own space a little too much - that was just our positioning really. "We still have moments where we could find the final pass a little bit better, but right on half-time an absolutely brilliant goal by Moussa. The boy oozes quality, he has wonderful finishing, and I think that was his first one from outside the box, so he's continually working on that. "His movement was good, he's improving all the time in the setting up of his game. He's always a threat, he wants to score. His contribution was very high. "Defensively we were outstanding, how quickly we won the ball back. Overall, a very pleasing performance." Hamilton Academical manager Martin Canning: "We stuck to our task, and we did well, but it takes that moment of quality from Dembele to open the scoring. "At that point the plan was working to frustrate Celtic, and when we had counterattack opportunities our quality maybe wasn't as good as it could have been. I was really pleased with the players' attitude, they worked hard. "You can take a lot from it. They've competed with the best team in the country. It's always going to be difficult going toe-to-toe with Celtic because they've got quality players who can hurt you. "You've got to come here with a plan of keeping your shape and being disciplined and organised. We did that very well and the concentration levels were great. There were positives to take into Tuesday's game against Aberdeen." Match ends, Celtic 2, Hamilton Academical 0. Second Half ends, Celtic 2, Hamilton Academical 0. Corner, Hamilton Academical.

In a statement her family said they were "heartbroken at the loss" of their "loving daughter". Ms Abdhou, known as Montana, was approached by "two males" on bicycles who fired "shots at her group". A post-mortem examination on Saturday gave the cause of death as a single gunshot wound. Her family said: "We are truly saddened, heartbroken and still in complete shock that we have lost a beautiful and caring soul. "No words can truly express our feelings towards this situation. "She was a loving daughter, sister and friend. She was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be remembered fondly." Det Ch Insp Andy Partridge said police had found nothing in Ms Abdou's background "which gives any suggestion she would have been a target". The two suspects have been described as being of medium build and dressed all in dark clothing. Police said their faces were covered, which "would have made them stand out on such a warm evening". The Scarlets head coach was responding to questions over reports linking Williams with a move to Ospreys. "Liam is one of our favourite sons here at the Scarlets and we'd like to see him here for a number of years to come," said Pivac. "I know the WRU would love to see him stay in Wales and together we'll be working to achieve that." Pivac says Williams is "keen to stick around" and doubts he would join Scarlets' closest rivals. "Look, anything's possible, isn't it. But no, I wouldn't think that would be the case," said the New Zealander. Scarlets are one of three teams without a Pro12 point going into the fourth round at the weekend. Title-holders Connacht are also without a win and are one place below the Welsh region in 11th, with Treviso last, before the Welsh and Irish teams meet in Llanelli on Saturday. "Connacht is our focus now and we need to get that first win, which I think could break the shackles and things open up nicely for us," said Pivac. "I'm sure in both camps it's a must-win game because nobody wants to be nought from four and sitting at the bottom of the table. "It's a long way up from that position." Wales prop Samson Lee is over his shoulder problem but a virus means he will miss the game against Connacht and is likely to return at Treviso on Saturday, 1 October. "Lee's been cleared of that shoulder. He's as strong as he was pre the injury, if not stronger," added Pivac. "He's done a lot of live scrummaging with us now and ticked all those boxes. "He's just picked up a bit of a virus so we'll likely leave him until next week." It emerged on Friday that the cost of the project had almost doubled to £80m. Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the additional funding, which increases the government's capital contribution to £25m, reinforced its commitment to the "iconic" development. Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy said ministers had to "get a grip on the spiralling cost" of the project. Mr Murphy outlined a five-point plan for securing economic and cultural success for Dundee during a visit to the city. He said the city needed to fully exploit the potential of the planned design museum, along with its £100m digital industry, and called for more affordable and accessible sports facilities, greater educational attainment and a focus on attracting oil industry decommissioning jobs. The cost of the V&A project had previously been estimated at £45m. A council report published on Friday revealed that the authority has been in tender negotiations with BAM Construction for several months, and the two have now agreed a fixed price of £76.16m for the construction of the building. Work on the design museum could begin in March if councillors approve the funding strategy set out in that report. The plans included seeking £22m of extra funding from the Scottish government, as well as £4.5m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and £6.6m from private fundraising. The remaining sum of £6.5m would be drawn from the council's capital budget for 2015-18. Announcing the extra government funding, Mr Swinney said: "V&A Dundee will be an iconic statement at the heart of the Dundee Waterfront development. "The signature building will create local jobs and contribute significantly to the regeneration of Dundee and its waterfront, giving the city and Scotland a world-class design museum and visitor attraction." The finance secretary said, when completed, the museum was expected to generate more than 270,000 visitor engagements per year and contribute an extra £11.6m annually to the local and national economy. He added: "The £25m capital funding we have allocated to this iconic project underlines the Scottish government's firm commitment to working with the project board to ensure its delivery, success and long-term sustainability." The delivery of the V&A Museum in Dundee was among initiatives Scottish Labour focused on as the shadow cabinet convened in the city. The party's leader Mr Murphy said there were "vast" opportunities open to Dundee. He said: "When built the V&A museum will be a breath-taking sight anchoring the new waterfront development. "The Scottish government needs to get a grip on the spiralling cost of its production but the building is vital to Dundee's efforts to attract tourism from all over Scotland, the UK and the rest of world." Robert Fleming, 21, is believed to have been involved in an altercation outside Bakers nightclub in John Finnie Street between 00:30 and 01:00 on 7 February. He was later found dead at his home in the Ayrshire town's Lammermuir Road. Police Scotland confirmed a man was being detained and a report would be sent to the procurator fiscal. It is 19 days since Israel launched an offensive against Hamas militants. The death toll has passed 1,000, Palestinian medical officials have said. Protesters walked from Botanic Gardens in south Belfast to the US Consulate on Saturday afternoon. Speakers said the turn-out showed how Belfast felt about the conflict. Gerry Carroll from the People before Profit group, called for Israel to be boycotted and the Israeli ambassador to be removed from the Republic of Ireland. Barton's in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, operated buses from 1908 to 1989. From 2008 the former bus depot hosted outdoor cinemas, comedy nights, gigs and other events. The Prince's Foundation charity, involved in the project, said it was helping to create a "new community" on the edge of Nottingham. When it was founded, the fourth-generation family business was one of the first bus firms in Britain. Its first service was between Long Eaton, Derbyshire, and the Nottingham Goose Fair in October, 1908. During World War One, workers were transported to and from the nearby National Shell Filling Factory. In 1930, it operated the first diesel-engine passenger-carrying road vehicle. Twenty years later it had a fleet of over 280. Bus deregulation in the 1980s rendered the firm uncompetitive and the transport arm was sold off to rival Trent, which still operates in the East Midlands as Trent Barton. From then Barton's focused on property investment. From its centenary year to 2014, the building in High Road hosted a series of events. But managing director Simon Barton has said the land was now "ripe for redevelopment". "It's a valuable and well-situated brownfield site and when greenbelt is under threat it's better to come to sites like this in order to redevelop those," he said. Earlier this month Mr Barton was granted a comprehensive licence for the sale of alcohol and for live music and sports events, despite opposition from some neighbours. The Prince Charles-backed foundation, which has been called the "creative force" behind the scheme, said it would try to maintain a balance between heritage and the redevelopment. Senior director Ben Bolgar said: "It has so much history and character, it's crucial to incorporate these elements into anything new that we build. From the style of the building, to the materials used, even to its name." Plans went on public display earlier this month and, if they are approved by Broxtowe Borough Council, work could start before the end of the year. Hundreds more were reported to have been injured when supporters stormed the gates after failing to gain entry. Some of those who fell became trapped and suffocated at the venue on Friday, a medical official said. Witnesses said the crowd trying to gain access would have taken the stadium past its 8,000 capacity. Santa Rita de Cassia were due to play Libolo in a first division league match. "Some people had to walk on top of other people. There were 76 casualties, of whom 17 died," Ernesto Luis, director general of the local hospital, told Reuters news agency. Five of the injured are reported to be in serious condition. Angolan and Portuguese media report that some of the dead are children. Supporter Domingos Vika, 35, said that the entrance was already overcrowded when more people began pouring in to the stadium. "When they gave the opportunity for everyone to come in, we were all packed at the gate," said Mr Vika, who left the venue with a broken hand. Angola's President Jose Eduardo dos Santos has ordered an investigation into the incident, local media report. Under cross-examination, he said he thought the story, which suggested the schoolgirl was alive and looking for a job, was nonsense. The story was obtained by hacking Milly's mobile phone. Mr Coulson, 46, of Charing, Kent, denies conspiring to hack phones. He also denies a second charge of conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office. In court on Friday, Mr Coulson denied refusing to speak to police when he was arrested in July 2011 because he hoped they would not be able to prove his involvement in illegal phone hacking. "I gave a no comment interview to the police on legal advice," he said. Mr Coulson also rejected suggestions by the prosecution that there had been a "process of hiding the true source" in relation to the Milly Dowler story. The story was originally published on page nine of the News of the World but in a later edition appeared on page 30 with the quotes, which had been obtained from the schoolgirl's voicemail, removed. Mr Coulson said the story's prominent position in early editions was a "mistake" and it was moved to redraw the balance of the paper. "I accept that it was moved and I accept it was quite likely I was responsible for that," he said. The former editor denied he had "turned a blind eye" to phone hacking at the News of the World. He was again asked why he had not enquired how the paper's then chief reporter, Neville Thurlbeck, had obtained a voicemail left by the then home secretary, David Blunkett, for his lover. Mr Coulson said: "I accept that I failed. I don't think I turned a blind eye - to turn a blind eye you would have to have some knowledge. "What I'm saying is it was a mistake, a bad mistake." Mr Coulson has previously told the jury it was only later that he came to know the message was obtained through phone hacking, and this was the single instance he heard about the activity during his editorship. Andrew Edis QC, prosecuting, said: "The evidence you knew about the hacking of Mr Blunkett... is overwhelming so you had to make the admission." Mr Coulson said: "No. I have chosen to explain what happened in relation to Mr Blunkett." He was also questioned about why, after his arrest, he never told police his version of events about stories on Mr Blunkett and Milly Dowler which came from hacking. Mr Edis said: "What you intended to achieve by this - you avoided making any admission about David Blunkett and Milly Dowler, hoping they would never be able to prove it." Mr Coulson said he had acted on the advice of his solicitor. Earlier, the jury at the Old Bailey heard that Mr Coulson's affair with his former boss Rebekah Brooks went on for longer than has previously been suggested. The court has already heard their relationship started in 1998 and Mrs Brooks wrote a letter to him in 2004 because he had broken it off. Read profiles of the defendants But Mr Coulson said: "The affair did continue until around the time I left the News of the World" in 2007. The jury also heard that Mr Coulson had received a payoff of ??600,000 when he resigned from the paper in January 2007. He said the deal entailed two years' pay plus a month for every year served. "I did not consider that unusual," he said. In other exchanges, Mr Coulson was asked repeatedly where his notebooks were from his time as editor. He said if he had kept them, they would be available. Mr Edis said: "There isn't a single note in existence of yours from your time at the News of the World regarding things we are discussing this morning. How does that come about?" Mr Coulson replied: "Well I certainly haven't behaved in an inappropriate way on that front in any way." He was also asked why he got an assistant to print off all his emails in 2006 shortly before his former royal editor at the paper, Clive Goodman, pleaded guilty to phone hacking. When asked if that was because he was going to delete them, he replied: "No." The emails were delivered to Mr Coulson's solicitor, protected by legal privilege, and the prosecution has not had access to them. The case continues. Police were called at around 02:35 BST on Saturday following an argument involving a number of men and women in Queen Elizabeth Street. A man, aged 20, was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The 28-year-old man remains in custody. Three men were arrested in connection with the incident on Saturday. Met Police said a 34-year-old man and a 21-year-old man, who were arrested on Saturday on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm in connection with the incident, have been bailed pending further inquiries. Another man, who was also arrested on Saturday, has been released. Tower Bridge was closed to traffic on Saturday morning while a police investigation was carried out . Det Ch Insp Rebecca Reeves, said: "Although we are in the early stages of the investigation we believe that an argument involving a number of men and women took place in Tower Bridge Road. "This then continued in Queen Elizabeth Street where the victim subsequently died "The area around Tooley Street has a popular nightlife and I would ask that anyone who had been to a club in the area and may have witnessed the assault to contact us." Grace, 28, who won the RBC Heritage in April, said: "I am getting married in November and hoping to start a family. I must put their health first. "I really hope to be able to qualify again in four years' time." Northern Ireland duo Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell have already pulled out while Australia's world number one Jason Day is considering his options. World number four McIlroy said on Wednesday that it was "a risk I am unwilling to take" despite the World Health Organisation stating that there is a "very low risk" for participants. Fiji's Vijay Singh and Marc Leishman of Australia have already said they will not play because of the virus and the absence of the top players is a blow as the sport returns to the Olympics for the first time since 1904.

The new aircraft can fly at night and in bad weather, reach speeds of more than 150mph (241km/h), and replaces the current 20-year-old model. The helicopter is the last of Wales' three air ambulances to be upgraded after the charity raised an extra £600,000. A charity spokesman said it "belongs to the people of Wales". The aircraft, which comes into service on Friday, can reach Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, from its base in Welshpool, Powys, in 12 minutes. There is also more space for paramedics to treat patients, an additional seat for a doctor, nurse or a parent, and it has radar technology that can detect bad weather ahead. The air ambulance can also carry an incubator - a first for the Welsh fleet - so it can fly sick children all over Wales. Mark James, from the Wales Air Ambulance charity, said: "To be honest the paramedics are absolutely delighted with the aircraft. You can see they're running around like kids on Christmas morning. "This aircraft is the most advanced air ambulance currently flying in the UK. "It's brand new, it's straight off the production line and it's got all the bells and whistles on it." Flight operations manager Jason Williams it was a "privilege" to fly the new aircraft. "It's a phenomenal difference," he said. "The speed of the aircraft is completely different. The avionics have got the new equipment that allows us to fly in worse conditions we wouldn't be flying in before." Mr James added: "The wording on the side [of the aircraft] - 'funded by the people of Wales' - has always been behind everything we've done. "It isn't our aircraft...it belongs to the people of Wales because they pay for it and if they didn't believe in what we were doing they wouldn't be paying for something like this." A letter seen by the BBC sends a fresh rebuke from the retailer to the Chair of the Work and Pensions Committee. Specifically, it criticises Mr Field for upsetting the 22,000 workers in the rest of his Arcadia empire (which includes Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and others) by saying in an interview that Sir Philip "is running Arcadia into the ground like BHS". The letter also objects to Frank Field's lack of remorse for saying Sir Philip had been "nicking money off other people". A charge for which the recent enquiry found no evidence. In the letter Sir Philip pointedly declines to litigate against Field - a course Sir Philip says he felt he was being goaded into. It seems unlikely that this will change the tenor of a debate scheduled for 11:30 on Thursday. It will be a brave MP who stands against the tide of public opinion - despite the fact that there is no evidence Sir Philip did anything illegal in selling an ailing BHS for £1 to a buyer that he accepts was a manifestly unsuitable buyer. He remains committed to "sorting" the huge deficit in the BHS pension scheme and preventing it falling into the Pension Protection Fund which would see those scheme members yet to retire lose 10% of their pension income immediately and see their future benefits dwindle over time. Sources close to the negotiations tell me that despite the fact "an enormous amount of energy" is going into the discussions, a resolution is not imminent. An MPs vote alone is not enough to strip him of his honour - and we may not even get a vote tomorrow - that depends on the discretion of the Speaker of the House Jon Bercow. If we do, and the vote goes against Sir Philip, the final decision will rest with the Honours Forfeiture Committee, headed by the UK's top civil servant. Pension scheme members will care more about their outcome than the arcane workings of the honours system. This messy affair seems likely to drag on for some time yet. The first and second aircraft have landed in Malta and the third is due to arrive shortly, said Liam Fox. One plane suffered minor damage after coming under small-arms fire, the Ministry of Defence has since revealed. David Cameron said he was "delighted" at the rescue and called on Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi to "go now". The prime minister paid tribute to the armed forces' bravery in carrying out an operation "that was not without its difficulties". Some of those rescued have described the moment the Hercules was shot at above a strip south west of Benghazi, forcing it to abandon a landing. One British oil worker said: "The aircraft took two hits on the right hand side of the fuselage, you just heard "bang bang" as the rounds actually struck." Another said after failing to land at two blocked off fields, the Hercules was trying again at a third when the firing started, forcing them to abort. The Ministry of Defence said: "We can confirm that during the operation... one of our C130 aircraft appears to have suffered minor damage consistent with small arms fire. "There were no injuries to passengers or crew and the aircraft returned safely to Malta." Meanwhile, the Royal Navy frigate HMS Cumberland has left Benghazi for Malta carrying about 200 civilians, including 50 Britons. The Foreign Office believes the bulk of British nationals who want to leave are now out of Libya, said BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner. Two RAF Hercules flew 150 oil workers, many of them British nationals, to the safety of Malta on Saturday. One flight carrying some of the rescued workers - 79 of whom are British - arrived at Gatwick on Sunday, followed by a second, carrying 25 Britons, early on Monday morning. Quality control manager Mike O'Donoghue, from Bridlington, North Yorkshire, was among those rescued from a compound in the southern region of Libya. Escape from Libya: Your stories "About a week ago... we were overrun by local criminal militia. They were coming on site with guns and knives, and intimidating and threatening - loosening off rounds." The Foreign Office made arrangements to evacuate people from that region, he said, adding that their rescuers were "magic people". "They're the best in the world. You know we owe them perhaps our lives. We don't know. But they were certainly risking theirs." Those on board HMS Cumberland will be met in Malta, after a 12-hour sea journey - and flown to the UK on Monday or Tuesday. The government said HMS York remained in the region and was "ready to assist as required". By Joe LynamBBC News It is not unprecedented for the assets of a ruling family to be frozen by UK authorities while they are still in power. The ruling junta in Burma, Saddam Hussein and President Milosevic of Serbia have all endured (or continue to endure) that in the past. What is interesting is the co-ordinated way in which the Treasury, BIS and FCO have been working on this order behind the scenes for a few days - directly liaising with Britain's largest banks as well as the FSA, BBA and Bank of England. As soon as all Britons had been extracted out of Libya and the legal permission had been given by the UN, the asset freezing order took effect tonight. While is it unclear exactly how much Libyan assets in the UK are worth, we can safely say it's in the "hundreds of millions". Some reports have said that Col Gaddafi's son Saif owns a plush house in Hampstead, north London, but most of the assets are probably of the paper variety. More details about routes out of Libya are on the Foreign Office website and all options to depart Libya will also be updated on the Foreign Office on Twitter. The FCO is also urging those who have already left Libya to contact them on 0207 008 0000 to ensure they have been accounted for. About 100,000 people have fled anti-government unrest in Libya over the past week, the UN estimates. As the Libyan leader, Col Muammar Gaddafi, battles for political survival amid an uprising that began in the east of the country, the UK's foreign secretary said it was time for him to step down. William Hague told the BBC: "Of course, it is time for Col Gaddafi to go, that is the best hope for Libya." The UK has frozen his British-held assets and those of his family, and withdrawn their diplomatic immunity on British soil. It followed UN Security Council sanctions agreed on Saturday backing an arms embargo and asset freeze, and referring Col Gaddafi to the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity. Business Secretary Vince Cable has also banned the unlicensed export of any uncirculated Libyan banknotes. It came after the Libyan regime had asked to ship an estimated £900m worth of British-printed banknotes to Tripoli. The Foreign Office has closed the British embassy in Tripoli, leaving a skeleton staff working in a different building. United dominated from the start and were 3-0 up at half-time thanks to Paul Pogba's stunning drive and two goals for Zlatan Ibrahimovic - his first in the league since September. Mike van der Hoorn headed in for Swansea midway through the second half but there was no real danger for the visitors, whose manager Jose Mourinho watched from the stand because of a touchline ban. United climb up to sixth in the table, while a 10th Premier League match without victory means Swansea remain second from bottom. The Swans' dismal performance prompted boos from the home crowd and left manager Bob Bradley with just one point from his first four games in charge. But for Mourinho, a second win in eight league matches comes as welcome relief following a difficult few weeks. Although he was banished to the stands, Mourinho made his presence felt with six changes from Thursday's Europa League defeat at Fenerbahce. One of those recalled was Ibrahimovic, whose attitude Mourinho had praised as "brilliant" despite a barren spell which had seen the Swede fail to score in six Premier League games. Happily for Ibrahimovic and United, they faced a ramshackle Swansea defence in charitable mood. While Pogba's exquisite strike would have beaten any goalkeeper, Ibrahimovic's low drive only found its way to the net because it was met with such weak resistance from Swansea keeper Lukasz Fabianski. Mourinho could sit back and relax as his side controlled the match with embarrassing ease, Pogba, Wayne Rooney and Ibrahimovic all rediscovering their form to torment their abject opponents. Ibrahimovic's second goal was a microcosm of the match as he brushed aside Angel Rangel's untidy challenge before clipping the ball beyond Fabianski. If United's sequence of four league games without victory was a worry, Swansea's winless run stretching back to the opening weekend of the season was a cause for grave concern. They were thoroughly outplayed at Stoke on Monday and were even worse against United, poor in every facet of the game. The atmosphere soured inside the Liberty Stadium as the hosts' defence unravelled, with the home crowd chanting "we want our club back" in reference to the Swans' American takeover in the summer and the subsequent disastrous results on the pitch. Bradley's switch to a 4-4-2 formation was woefully ineffective and, after reverting to the familiar 4-2-3-1 system for the second half, Swansea improved. There were faint hopes of a comeback when Van der Hoorn headed in from Gylfi Sigurdsson's free-kick - and things might have been different had Ibrahimovic's apparent kick at Leroy Fer been punished by more than a yellow card. Those were ultimately academic points, however, as Swansea limped to a sixth defeat from seven games, stumbling deeper into the relegation mire. Swansea manager Bob Bradley: Media playback is not supported on this device "We were pushed deep in the first half and didn't have enough time on the ball. When we did have time on the ball we weren't very sharp. "They punished us with long shots. They had three shots and three goals so it was strange in that respect. "The second half was better and there were some positives. But not big positives. We understand there is a lot of work to be done. We need to stay strong. "I would have hoped in my earlier games to take more points. But I understand that in the Premier League you have to fight every week. The dressing room knows that - we're all on the same page." Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: Media playback is not supported on this device "We were really impressive in our control of the game. We controlled it by having a lot of the ball and hurting the opponent when we could. "Credit to my defensive line - Ashley Young is not a right-back, Matteo Darmian is not a left-back, Phil Jones was a great guy to make himself available for the team even without training for months. "We needed these thee points after losing two against Burnley at home. This was the best way to end the period before the internationals." Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on not scoring in his previous three games: "I wasn't worried. As long as you create the chances, which I have been doing, the goals will come. But the most important thing is the win. The goals will come." International duty is next up for most of the Swansea and Manchester United players. After that, United host Arsenal at Old Trafford on Saturday, 19 November (12:30 GMT), while Swansea travel to Everton later that day (15:00). Match ends, Swansea City 1, Manchester United 3.

Sales of longer-term mortgages have reached record levels, with most young buyers choosing to borrow for more than the traditional 25 years. The monthly repayments are smaller, so they can afford bigger loans to buy their dream homes. But one of the UK's biggest mortgage brokers says the interest bill can rocket, because buyers have to keep making payments for so long. Fifteen years ago virtually every first-time buyer had a 25-year mortgage, but high prices have forced people to look for new ways to beat the market. Now 60% borrow for longer. The typical term is 30 years, but many are choosing terms of 35 or 40 years so they can take bigger steps onto the housing ladder. "The short-term gain was more beneficial than the long term pain," says Chris Pearson, who has just bought a house with his partner Katie Baynes in Cheadle, Manchester. "We'd taken a long time saving for a deposit and we needed a house that was big enough." They have a 40-year mortgage from Nationwide and managed to borrow £300,000. "I think I'll be 72 when we've just paid it off," Chris admits. It's clear what the attraction is. You pay £948 a month for a typical 25-year mortgage, but only £716 if you extend the term to 40 years. You make a saving of well over £200 a month. What's happening is that the interest paid each month stays the same but the repayments of capital, which form part of the monthly bill, are spread out over a longer period. That's the good news. The problem is that you have to pay interest for an extra 15 years. In this case you would pay an additional £60,000. Interest over 25 years adds up to around £84,000, but the total over 40 years is £144,000, a huge bill for borrowers. "It's a real danger," warns David Hollingworth from London & Country Mortgages, who calculated the figures. "They need to understand that they are going to pay thousands more in interest over the life of the mortgage." Katie and Chris say they are relying on house prices continuing to rise, to shore up their finances. "We're stuck in a rut really," Katie says. "We're taking a massive risk." Mortgage regulation has been tightened up, with stricter controls on what people can afford with their regular incomes. But there are no rules limiting the length of mortgage terms or stopping families who are already up against it from committing themselves for four decades. Effectively, these borrowers are putting off the day of reckoning and draining their future wealth. David Hollingworth suggests they keep their mortgages under review and shorten the payback period as soon as they can afford to make higher payments. Such a strategy, he says, will "save them a fortune". But what if interest rates go up, making mortgages more expensive, or if the family income stays the same? Homeowners like Katie and Chris in Cheadle could find that the 40-year deal is all they can ever afford and their mortgage becomes a millstone in later life. Pte Robert Keating's account explains how a ceasefire was held by some men despite orders from officers who did not want a repeat of a 1914 truce. A military historian said the account contradicts reports from the time which said a second truce did not take place. It has been donated to the archives of Royal Welch Fusiliers (RWF) and is being transcribed at Wrexham Museum. Military historian Lieutenant General Jonathon Riley, chairman of trustees for the Royal Welch Fusiliers which has a regimental museum at Caernarfon Castle, said there had been other accounts referring to a second Christmas truce but the "emergence of the Keating diary has completed the jigsaw". He said Keating's diary explained the ceasefire was initiated by German soldiers and followed by a contingent of British soldiers on the Western Front near Laventie, France, despite their orders. "It has given us a complete picture of what happened over an extensive part of the line," he said. "For a private soldier he gives us a really valuable insight." The diary starts from 1914 and covers Keating's deployment to France in December 1915 and finishes in July 1916, the night before the first attempt was made to capture Mametz Wood in northern France, which became the scene one of the fiercest battles of the Somme. The diary adds to war accounts from other Welsh war poets and writers including David Jones and Llewelyn Wyn Griffith whose book, Up to Mametz - and Beyond, also recounted a scene where so-called no man's land briefly became "every man's land" as soldiers from both sides exchanged greetings and bartered. Keating also explains how British soldiers shouted greetings to the German soldiers "over the way" on the morning of Christmas Day. Then, when they saw them standing on their parapets, they decided to greet them and "chatted about old England" despite shouts from an officer to return. Keating goes on to say that their German counterparts said they "were absolutely fed up" and believed "the war would end in a few months in our favour". Later, he tells how a senior officer "came round the trenches and told every fellow to shoot any German he saw" but "no one took any notice". Then, on Christmas evening, after a "good supply" of rum had been commandeered, he explains how he was roused from his shelter to find Scots Guards and RWF, now known as the Royal Welsh, clustered around a "burning brazier" on top of a parapet. He writes: "The Germans were sending up star lights and singing - they stopped, so we cheered them and we began singing Land of Hope and Glory and Men of Harlech et cetera - we stopped and they cheered us. "So we went on till the early hours of the morning and the only thing that brought us down was one of our machine guns being turned on us - fortunately, no one was killed." A note on a second volume of the diary said that in the event of Keating's death it was to be sent to the warden of a boys' home in Clapham, south west London. The 1911 census showed Keating had been a resident and must have been only 16 and, therefore, under-age when he signed up in 1914. The diary is being transcribed by volunteers at Wrexham Museum which holds some RWF archive material and memorabilia. It was donated by Sue Davies, a former neighbour of Keating, who received it from his widow, Katie, after his death in March, Cambridgeshire, in 1969. Ms Davies, 59, who now lives in Nottinghamshire, said the Keatings did not have any family and although she spent a lot of time with them she did not know about his war-time experiences until she read the diary. She described the retired cable and wireless operator as a "quiet man with a wicked sense of humour" who would give his Jack Russell dog, Titch, commands in French. "I have read the diaries from cover to cover of the years," she said, adding that she handed them to the RWF this summer to ensure their safe-keeping. "I always knew they were important. But it was more about making sure he was not forgotten," she said.

It has signed a three-year deal with Love Productions, which makes the hit show, currently shown on BBC One. BBC News understands the corporation offered Love Productions £15m per year to keep the show, but the company would not accept offers below £25m. Love Productions said talks with the BBC had been taking place for a year, with a last-ditch meeting on Monday. They signed a deal with Channel 4 the same evening. The first Channel 4 edition of the programme, a celebrity version of Bake Off for the charity Stand Up To Cancer, will be broadcast in 2017. The BBC earlier said it hoped Love Productions would change its mind and that Bake Off was a "quintessentially BBC programme". Channel 4 is understood to have offered more money for the brand following the breakdown in negotiations with the BBC. Both Channel 4 and Love Productions have been asked to comment on the amount paid to acquire the show. BBC media correspondent David Sillito said the show's presenters had only just been told about the news and negotiations with them had yet to begin. Jay Hunt, Channel 4's chief creative officer, said: "Channel 4 is very proud to be the new home for The Great British Bake Off. "I'm delighted we have been able to partner with the hugely talented team at Love Productions to keep this much-loved show on free-to-air television." Richard McKerrow, Love Productions creative director, said: "We believe we've found the perfect new home for Bake Off. "It's a public service, free-to-air broadcaster for whom Love Productions have produced high-quality and highly successful programmes for more than a decade. "It's tremendously exciting to have found a broadcaster who we know will protect and nurture The Great British Bake Off for many years to come." Lorraine Heggessey, who was the controller of BBC One between 2000 and 2005, said a production company walking away from negotiations used to be an unusual occurrence. "In my day there were often tough negotiations over programme budgets, but in the end there was an unwritten rule that you did not walk away and take your show somewhere else," she told BBC Two's Newsnight. "It sounds like Love Productions were going to go [to a rival broadcaster] anyway, that's what worries me because the BBC has invested a huge amount of licence fee payers money in growing this show." The opening show of the current series, the seventh, was watched by an average of 10.4 million viewers. Bake Off was 2015's most-watched programme, with 15.1 million viewers for the final, according to consolidated figures which include catch-up viewing. It got an average audience of 13.4m people watching on the night it was broadcast. The show, currently airing on BBC One on Wednesday evenings, is hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, with Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry as the judges. It sees amateur bakers compete in a series of challenges. In a previous statement, Love Productions thanked the BBC "for the role it played in making this show such an enormous hit" and "the faith they showed in us over the years to develop it". The BBC said: "Working with Love Productions, we have grown and nurtured the programme over seven series and created the huge hit it is today. "We made a very strong offer to keep the show but we are a considerable distance apart on the money. The BBC's resources are not infinite." Jo Wheatley, the Bake Off winner in 2011, said she did a poll on her social media accounts and "lots of people were really outraged that it's moving". "My gut feeling was a bit of shock to begin with - 'oh no, how have the Beeb let that go?'. "Now I've got my head around it I'm a little bit calmer." John Whaite, winner of the 2012 show, told ITV News: "Channel 4 are not going to mess around with its format and if they do they'll be stupid. "I think everyone is going to have a very close eye on what they do with the show. "If they do anything, if they make one wrong step, I think it could be catastrophic. So I'm not concerned, I think it will remain the Bake Off." Flora Shedden, who competed in the 2015 show, tweeted: "Really sad to hear that the BBC has lost rights to Bake Off. Its success is down to format and aesthetic - commercialising will ruin that." The Great British Bake Off has won a total of nine Bafta awards, with four of them being won through a public vote. Earlier this year it won at the National Television Awards in the category for Challenge Show, beating Bear Grylls: Mission Survive, Masterchef and The Apprentice. It was announced in July that the show will get two Christmas specials later this year, with four bakers from previous series doing three seasonal challenges, replacing the Bake Off Masterclass programmes. The show began on BBC Two in 2010 before moving to BBC One in 2014. Bake Off also has a junior version, shown on CBBC. Last year's Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain is lined up as one of the judges for the next children's series alongside chef and food writer Allegra McEvedy.

The Zika virus, which is spread by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, triggered a global health emergency this year. Last week the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that the virus causes severe birth defects. The latest research showed mapping Zika was more complex than simply defining where the mosquito can survive. One of the researchers, Dr Oliver Brady from the University of Oxford, told the BBC: "These are the first maps to come out that really use the data we have for Zika - earlier maps were based on Zika being like dengue or chikungunya. "We are the first to add the very precise geographic and environmental conditions data we have on Zika." By learning where Zika could thrive the researchers could then predict where else may be affected. The researchers confirmed that large areas of South America, the focus of the current outbreak, are susceptible. In total, 2.2 billion people live in areas defined as being "at risk". The infection is suspected of leading to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains. The at-risk zones in South America include long stretches of coastline as well as cities along the Amazon river and its tributaries snaking through the continent. And in the US, Florida and Texas could sustain the infection when temperatures rise in summer. Dr Brady added: "Mosquitoes are just one condition needed for Zika to spread but there's a whole range of other ones. "It needs to be warm enough for Zika to replicate inside the mosquito and for there to be a large enough [human] population to transmit it." Both Africa and Asia have large areas that could be susceptible to the virus, the researchers said. However, the study cannot answer why large numbers of cases have not already been reported. One possible explanation is that both continents have already had large numbers of cases and the populations there have become largely immune to the virus. An alternative is that cases could be being misdiagnosed as other infections such as dengue fever or malaria. Europe seems likely to be unaffected, but that could change as more evidence emerges on which mosquitoes the viruses can spread in. Follow James on Twitter. The economy created 161,000 posts last month and job creation for the months of August and September was revised up. The unemployment rate edged lower to 4.9%, according to the latest report from the US Department of Labor. The healthy labour market will support the view held by many analysts that the US Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next month. Average hourly earnings were up $0.10, or 0.4%, in October, a slight acceleration from September's 0.3% increase. "A solid employment report for October further clears the path for a December Fed rate hike," said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit. "It seems that the only remaining obstacle to the Fed hiking in December would be a significant adverse financial market reaction to the US presidential election," he added. On Wednesday, policy makers at the US Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates on hold, which means rates have not moved in almost a year. The Fed last raised rates, to a range between 0.25% to 0.5%, last December - its first move in almost a decade following the financial crisis. "The solid gain in employment and the acceleration in average hourly earnings growth in October will increase expectations that the Fed will hike interest rates in December (assuming that the election doesn't throw a spanner in the works)," said Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital Economics. The body which sets US interest rates, the Federal Open Market Committee, next meets on 13 December for two days. Those policy makers, led by Fed chair Janet Yellen, will have noted the strong performance of the US economy in the third quarter. Data released last month showed that the US economy grew at the fastest pace in two years in the three months to the end of September. The world's largest economy grew at an annual rate of 2.9%, according to the Commerce Department. The monthly jobs report details which parts of the economy are hiring. Last month health care, professional and business services and the financial sector saw the strongest job creation. An extra 31,000 jobs were created in outpatient medical care and hospitals generated another 13,000 jobs. There was also strong employment in computer systems design, which accounted for 8,000 new hires. It is the final race of the world championship - estimated to be worth £10m to the Welsh economy. The official "shakedown" test drives got under way on Thursday morning before the ceremonial start at Llandudno, Conwy county. The father of Colin McRae, the former champion killed in a helicopter crash in 2007, will drop the starting flag. Former co-driver, Welshman Nicky Grist, will also be at the rally for the weekend as the event marks the contribution McRae made to rallying across the world - becoming the youngest ever driver to lift the world title in 1995. Racing proper begins on Friday morning in the Hafren forest stage near Llanidloes, Powys. The race ends on Sunday, with stages taking in the Denbigh Moors, Llandudno's Great Orme and a ceremonial finish at the Deeside service park in Flintshire. The Welsh government has described the rally as one of Wales' flagship events and recently announced a three-year extension to its partnership with the race. Tourism minister Ken Skates said: "The rally provides an ideal platform to showcase Wales' many assets, including our spectacular scenery, with last year's media coverage estimated to have reached an international audience of 60 million." James Lester unveiled the nameplates as they were reunited with the 34051 Winston Churchill. The engine and its carriages are being restored for the 50th anniversary of Sir Winston's funeral on 30 January. The restoration of the locomotive has been carried out by Mid-Hants Railway, Ropley. The 34051 Winston Churchill, along with the Southern Railway's parcel van S2464S, which carried the coffin, transported the former Prime Minister from Waterloo in central London to his final resting place near Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire. The carriage is being restored in Shildon, County Durham, having been loaned to the National Railway Museum by the Swanage Railway Trust in Dorset. The train will go on display in the Great Hall of the National Railway Museum in York as part of its Churchill's Final Journey exhibition. Mid-Hants Railway chairman Colin Chambers said: "All that remains is some additional varnish applied by our team of painters. It is planned to be on its way to York by mid-January." Mr Lester said: "I'm so pleased to see the work on the loco is on track for completion by Christmas. This project has meant a lot to me as Churchill's Final Journey will not only tell the story of a remarkable man, it will tell the tale of many railwaymen who played a part in his last journey from the capital to his final resting place." Sir Winston was laid to rest in the parish churchyard of Bladon, close to Blenheim Palace where he was born 89 years earlier.

Almost 100 metres of paper were used to create the 3.7m long boat - which can carry one person at a time. The boat was launched by school children on Southwark Park boating lake. Engineer Morwenna Wilson captained the maiden voyage. She said: "I really want to show young people that this career can open doors to amazing opportunities and adventures." The paper boat, designed by a group of engineers, was launched to promote The Big Bang Fair - a celebration of science and technology for young people which takes place at the NEC, Birmingham, from 11-14 March.

Ridden by Tom O'Brien, Finian's Oscar was making his grade one bow, having won on his hurdling debut at Hereford. Chalonnial led for much of the contest, but the 11-10 favourite powered home to win by five lengths from Capitaine. Tizzard also trains Thistlecrack, who won the King George VI Chase, and Native River, winner of the Welsh National in December.

Finian's Oscar has won the Tolworth Novices' Hurdle at Sandown to give trainer Colin Tizzard another victory.

The Olympic flame arrives in the UK on 18 May and begins its 70-day journey at Land's End on the morning of 19 May. Visiting every nation and region on its 8,000 mile journey, it will stop off at landmarks including Durdle Door, Dorset, and Blackpool Tower before heading to the Olympic Park for the opening ceremony of the Games on 27 July.

A list of significant places the London 2012 Olympic torch relay will visit, as it makes its journey around the UK, has been revealed.

Approval from the European Commission was the last big regulatory hurdle Dell needed to overcome to close the deal. Dell hopes the purchase of EMC will allow it better compete with IBM, Cisco Systems, and Hewlett-Packard in cloud computing and cyber security. The EC said the combined company would still face strong market competition. EU competition commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, said: "I am pleased that we have been able to approve Dell's multibillion dollar takeover of EMC within a short space of time while making sure that there would be no adverse effects on customers." The deal won approval from US regulators earlier this month. The two companies are still waiting regulatory approval in smaller markets. EMC shareholders also need to approve the deal, but a spokesperson for Dell said that European approval was "a strong sign the deal was running on time and under the original terms". The transaction is expected to close before Dell's third quarter ends in July. The purchase of EMC is part of a series of changes founder Michael Dell and his partners, Silver Lake, have made since taking the company private in 2013. Mr Dell founded the company in 1984. He has a combined Dell/EMC would create a "powerhouse" in the $2 trillion IT sector. Eldon Insurance Services, founded by entrepreneur Arron Banks, is "entering into a period of consultation" about restructuring part of the business. Staff at Bristol's Go Skippy insurance offices were sent home on Monday while the consultation period got under way. The firm has not confirmed reports that it is diverting work to South Africa for a trial period. Staff told the Bristol Post they had been told on Monday to leave the offices while the firm trialled moving call centre work to South Africa, and they had not been told if they would be coming back. They have been sent home on full pay. Eldon Insurance Services, which has offices in Bristol and Newcastle, carries out claims and administration for car insurance firm Go Skippy. It was founded by Mr Banks, a local entrepreneur who made the news last year when he donated £1m to the UK Independence Party. In a statement, the company confirmed it was "entering into a period of consultation with up to 200 members of staff across the business". It read: "Following three years of intense and rapid growth, Eldon is undertaking the consultation period with selected staff as part of a strategic initiative to restructure an element of its business model. "Consultation has commenced with employee representatives and is continuing and so, it is not appropriate to comment further now." The company said that it aimed to "assess the strongest areas of success and set in place solid foundations for future growth and profitability across its centres in Newcastle and Bristol". Go Skippy's offices are in Cribbs Causeway. Conservative MP for Filton and Bradley Stoke Jack Lopresti told the BBC: "We have just been made aware of this and we will be making contact with the company to see if there is anything we can do to help." Current safety measures permit workers to smoke in designated locations on offshore installations. But Oil and Gas UK's 2015 health and safety report has recommended e-cigarettes should be banned unless, and until, they become medically regulated. It suggested the industry should be consistent with public health measures aimed at reducing tobacco smoking. The report said the increasing use of e-cigarettes had prompted employers across the industry to request advice. It read: "The common argument for e-cigarettes is that they are an aid to smokers who wish to stop smoking. "This is not supported by the only scientifically-led investigation to date of this concept, which shows that e-cigarettes are not more effective than existing nicotine replacement therapies (gums, patches, etc) in helping individuals to stop smoking. "Existing nicotine replacement therapies are medically-regulated, but e-cigarettes are not, although it is expected that those containing more than 20 milligrams/litre of nicotine will be regulated from 2016." It added: "The advice recommends that the industry is consistent with well-established public health measures to reduce tobacco smoking and that unless, and until, they become medically regulated, e-cigarettes should not be permitted offshore." Last November, offshore operator Talisman Sinopec Energy UK banned e-cigarettes from its North Sea platforms after one overheated while it was charging. Becchetti took over the O's in 2014, after the side had been beaten in the League One play-off final by Rotherham. Nine different men have taken charge of the first team since then, but Orient are now 20th in League Two, two points above the relegation zone. Chief executive Alessandro Angelieri says Becchetti has already received one offer, but it was "not acceptable". In a statement on the club website, Angelieri said the actions of the club hierarchy since their takeover from Barry Hearn had always been "in good faith" and they were "fully confident" they would avoid relegation to the National League. The statement comes after BBC Sport posed a series of questions to Orient on Thursday, enquiring about; the club's future under Becchetti, recent transfer policy, plans in case of relegation and whether the running of the club had been affected by Angelieri suffering a minor heart attack late last year. Despite his own ill health, the Italian said Becchetti's inability to be around the club in recent weeks because of his business commitments had had "a more negative impact" on the squad. "Mr Becchetti has a great charisma and the players definitely feel his absence." Angelieri added. Angelieri also described the contribution of Jordan Bowery, who joined Crewe on loan this week, as "imperceptible" and accused the striker and former players Darius Henderson, Jobi McAnuff and Jay Simpson of lacking commitment and desire. Since buying the Matchroom Stadium side, Italian businessman Becchetti, 50, has hit the headlines several times during his stewardship of the club, including; Becchetti rarely gives interviews to the media, last speaking to BBC London in February 2015. Becchetti putting the O's up for sale finally clarifies his position to fans, following months of uncertainty about his intentions. Leyton Orient Fans' Trust (LOFT) organised a protest against his ownership during a home match against Blackpool on 19 November, calling on him to change the way he runs the club or consider selling. LOFT spokesperson Tom Davies told BBC Radio London this month that they could not see "sustainable success" being achieved under Becchetti's ownership. Supporters are also concerned by both on-field performances, with Orient in danger of being relegated to non-league for the first time since joining the Football League in 1905, and the financial situation at the club. In a further statement to BBC Sport, Angelieri said Becchetti "didn't like" the protest in November, and "is not interested in what LOFT generally does". However, LOFT said they remained committed to turning the club around rather than forming a phoenix side in lower non-league like FC United of Manchester or AFC Wimbledon. "The Orient, throughout our history, have been up against it at various times but we have always survived and been able to compete," Davies added. "Save Coombe Allotments" campaigners say the site, near Wotton-under-Edge, was there in 1847 with some evidence suggesting it dates back to 1763. But the half-acre plot is privately owned and the landowner says she is within her rights to seek possession. Campaigners say there is still hope they might be able to buy it to preserve it for the community. There have been reports that the landowner has been approached by a developer. Susan Ballinger, who has not responded to requests for a comment from the BBC, has previously said she requires the land back for grazing her horses. She served allotments holders with a "notice to quit" by 25 March 2016, 12 months ago - prompting a social media campaign to save the allotments. Villagers in Coombe have had the site registered as a "community asset", which gives them a shot at buying it, if it goes up for sale. "The site has such a history, we want to keep it as a community area," said campaign manager Martin Clarke. But he told BBC Radio Gloucestershire that while it was a day of "optimism and hope", whether they would be able to buy it would depend on whether there was a "realistic valuation". Allotment owners held a party on Friday to "go out with our heads held high". Ms Ballinger previously told BBC Inside Out West she was within her rights to seek possession of her own land and had given plenty of notice. Media playback is not supported on this device Rooney apologised to Southgate and the Football Association after "inappropriate" pictures taken during the squad's downtime following the World Cup qualifying win against Scotland at Wembley last month were made public. Former boss Fabio Capello introduced a notoriously hardline approach during his time in charge, but Southgate, speaking at Wembley after signing a four-year contract to succeed Sam Allardyce, said: "I'm not convinced that draconian is going to work for English players. "We have maybe had a go at that in the past, with the Italians. That regime of how they have prepared for club matches is very similar to the national team." Southgate, 46, earlier told BBC Radio 5 live: "There's a time to have a glass of beer or wine but at the appropriate time and the right level. "We talk about pressure. We spend most of our time trying to relieve that pressure and if we put ourselves in positions where we are going to increase that pressure, then that is not intelligent." Southgate made it clear England's players must adopt their own strict code in an attempt to end the years of international failure. "There has got to be lines of what is acceptable and what isn't," he said. "Look at top sports teams like the All Blacks, who are one of the best examples of teams that have won consistently over the years. "The players are involved in that, because you are giving them ownership and accountability." Media playback is not supported on this device Southgate added: "If our players want to be top, top players, which I believe they do, then they have got to recognise the things that are going to help us achieve that, and the things that are going to detract from that. "The days are gone from when I was younger where we did have beers after a game - fish and chips and beer on the way home on the coach and probably fall off the bus. "The rest of the world isn't doing that, so we are competing in a different landscape and have to be as prepared and professional as everybody else." The Sun published images it said showed Rooney drunk at a party late on Saturday night on 12 November, a day after England's 3-0 win over Scotland. Southgate said: "If I was to give you one bit of detail, it would be that the only time I saw Wayne was at about 10.30pm that night. "I was watching a video of the Spain game, which is a usual Saturday night for me, and he popped his head through the door to see what we were doing as a group of coaches." FA chief executive Martin Glenn insisted Southgate was subjected to a stringent interview by a five-man panel at St George's Park on Monday, and rejected suggestions the process was simply a formality after the former defender's four-game spell as caretaker boss. Glenn said the process of appointing Allardyce after Roy Hodgson's resignation following Euro 2016 meant they were already prepared after speaking to summer contenders such as Steve Bruce and RB Leipzig sporting director Ralf Rangnick. "It was reported as a 'fireside chat' but it was anything but," said Glenn. "It was three hours - Howard Wilkinson, Graeme Le Saux, the chairman Greg Clarke, me and technical director Dan Ashworth. "It started off with a review of 'OK, go through the last four games, what have you learned?' and there was some pretty feisty opinions from the more technical people in the room about some things. "So that was a good example of saying 'OK, do Gareth's powers of analysis stand up to scrutiny?' - and, as Gareth has said himself, thinking correctly under pressure. "It's really important for the England team and is important for anyone in what is a high-pressure role. "We had Gareth independently assessed for mental strengths and how he takes decisions, so that was a separate set. "We also had extensive background checks, as you might imagine. There was a number of different data sets that went in. We went through the psychological assessments together." Media playback is not supported on this device Southgate has been portrayed as a safe appointment following the turbulence of Allardyce's 67-day reign - but his introductory news conference was measured, assured and confident performance, with Glenn and Ashworth nodding approvingly at various stages. He has none of the self-confidence bordering on bluster possessed by Allardyce and loses no marks for that. Southgate may be more low-key but there was a mixture of determination and self-deprecation in his demeanour. Southgate dealt sensitively and maturely with the inevitable inquisition about the current claims of child sexual abuse at football clubs, while also handling the questions about discipline and the future of the England captaincy with the same calmness he demonstrated throughout his interim tenure. This may not be an appointment that has got the pulses of England fans racing, but it was certainly a reassuring day for those at the FA who have placed the future in his hands. More than 20,000 tickets were issued to paramedics after they were caught on speed cameras responding to 999 calls. Only 400 of those tickets were upheld, a Freedom of Information request by the BBC has found. The police said some speed cameras only captured the speed and number plate of the vehicle. Health bosses have called for the automatic exemption on emergency vehicles to be better enforced. Some trust staff are spending 40 hours a month appealing against the fines. A Freedom of Information request by the BBC to all ambulance trusts in England showed they received 23,227 speeding tickets between 2009 and 2014. If not appealed against, some trusts would be facing a bill of up to £160,000 a year. Yorkshire Ambulance Service Trust had to appeal against fines that would amount to more than £774,000 over five years, while the South Central Ambulance Service Trust, covering Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire, spent up to 10 hours a week appealing against the fines. The highest speed recorded was 115mph in a 50mph zone by the South Western Ambulance Service. Appeal process: Carl Rees, from the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives, said "common sense should be applied" and "notices should only be sent out if no blue lights can be seen flashing". "After the appropriate checks have been made the PCN (penalty charge notice) should be waived. We understand that this is what happens in the majority of cases," he said. The law: Section 87 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 states: Source: "Guidance regarding the legal obligations placed on forces as body corporate when dealing with speeding and red light offences by emergency service vehicles" Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Barry, from the National Police Chiefs' Council, said while police would generally stop notices from being sent out, this was more difficult since the introduction of average speed checks. "When an emergency vehicle clearly displaying blue lights triggers a camera, but the police can see that it was being driven safely in accordance with the law with blue lights displayed, they would generally stop notices from being sent out. "This has been made more difficult with the introduction of average speed checks in recent years, which usually capture the speed and number plate of the vehicle but not necessarily an image." Miriam Rodríguez Martínez was shot in her home in the town of San Fernando in Tamaulipas state. She was known for successfully investigating the kidnap and murder of her daughter by a local drug cartel, the Zetas. The information she gave the police ensured the gang members were jailed. But in March one of them escaped and her colleagues said she started to receive threats. She was killed on Mexico's mother's day, 10 May. Her colleagues said she had asked for police protection but was ignored. State prosecutor Irving Barrios told a news conference that security needs had been met and police officers made rounds three times a day. Her family disputes this. The Mexican human rights commission issued a statement saying it deplored her murder and called for a full investigation. Mrs Rodríguez founded the local group for families who were victims of violence after her daughter, Karen Alejandra, was kidnapped in 2012. She had managed to find her daughter's body in a clandestine grave and put her murderers in jail. She also foiled an attempted kidnapping by the Zetas of her husband, when she chased the gang in her car, at the same time notifying the army who then managed to arrest them. According to one of her fellow campaigners, Mrs Rodríguez felt she could not sit back after her daughter's killers were caught. "She told us that she was incomplete, that although she had found her daughter, nothing would ever return to normal for her," Graciela Pérez told the BBC. Ms Pérez, who also has a missing daughter, described the murdered activist as someone "with a very strong, caring and cheerful character". The group she established was part of a wider trend which mushroomed after the October 2014 disappearance of 43 students from Ayotzinapa in the southwestern state of Guerrero. Frustrated by a lack of government help, groups of families began their own searches for people who had disappeared in their areas, taking courses in forensic anthropology, archaeology, law, buying caving equipment and becoming experts in identifying graves and bones. There are now at least 13 of these groups across the country. The administration of former President Felipe Calderón (2006-2012) militarised the Mexican security forces to fight the drug cartels. In 10 years, the so-called war on drugs he launched left tens of thousands of murder victims with numbers varying widely between civic institutions and government figures. The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) issued its annual survey of armed conflict on Tuesday, saying that 23,000 people had died in Mexico in armed conflict in 2016 The Mexican government has questioned these figures. Mogadishu used to be like any other capital city in the region. Poet braves wrath of al-Shabab I remember the days spent swimming and having picnics and then, in the evening, we would go out to the cinema or even to the theatre. That was when we still had a government. And in those days we had embassies here in Mogadishu for all the other countries in the world. So many foreigners lived here. It was so cosmopolitan. Not xenophobic like it is today. My city was beautiful and we had tranquillity. I will never forget one situation that happened one day while we were at the beach. My friend ended up arguing with an Italian woman. He was floating around on his lilo in the sea, as was this Italian woman, who also had a lilo, and he was moving so close to her so she was asking why he was very close to her. He ended up being stupid - he was still a teenager - and spoke indecently to her. The lady called the police. They came and took him straight away to the court. In those days both Somalis and foreigners used to enjoy equal rights. My friend was told off and ordered to apologise to the lady in front of the court. The situation now is incomparable. I am so full of nostalgia. Exactly three months ago I came back to Mogadishu but I left a long time ago. Somaliland's hopes I remember when I left - It was 1992. I can remember the violence and the conflict. There was fighting going on and that was the reason why I left at that time. The situation was chaos and it was a really difficult situation at that time. I was looking for a future and a better life. I reached London on 23 April 1993. I recently returned because my mum was sick and so I could not stay away from her any longer. That is the reason I risked my life to come back. My mum is doing ok now and so I am thinking that soon I will be able to go back to my lovely country, the UK. There is no better place than London for me. But it wasn't always. Mogadishu used to be the best city in Africa. A place where your family and friends were there. A normal life. It was a wonderful life. I can't see any way how we can have that life again. Now, in Mogadishu, things are really different. I could not compare it to anywhere. It is divided. Mogadishu is not a place you can trust or make a better life. There is not a single postman who can deliver you a letter. There is no normal daily life. There is no security. There is no night life. As soon as four o'clock in the afternoon comes there is no single car on the roads and you cannot walk in the roads. Life is limited. I feel trapped. No-one in Mogadishu is free. My mum still lives in the same area that I grew up in but I am staying in a hotel, which is well-guarded. Twenty years ago the hotel I am staying in - the Sahafi - was one of the best hotels and the area was like Chelsea in London. It was a rich area and very nice at that time. It was the heart of the city. Inside the hotel is OK and the rooms are fine. It is not like a four star but maybe a two star but the food is good. But outside of the hotel things are different. It is like there is no life. It is another world. You face so many consequences. War is everywhere. The walls are broken. There are no trees. There is not one beautiful place where you can sit. It really is terrible. I hope I will be able to go home soon. In the heyday when our country was at peace, it was incomparable. Honestly speaking, I remember when students come out from school, all in their uniforms... you cannot imagine how colourful they were. All education grades - from primary to university - were free of charge and now poor people can't pay school fees and they have to remain ignorant. If I remember that time, I am nearly crying. The youth used to think of their future and had good minds but now you see most of our Somali youth are some way, directly or indirectly, involved in violence. We used to see good cars, good houses and good minds but now it is the opposite. We see destroyed houses, battle wagons and people with clan mindsets and empty bellies. Before, a policeman with only a small stick would be obeyed. But now, we live in anarchy - a young man fires and everyone runs away. Nowadays, we no longer have music. Mortars and gun shots are the terrible music to our ears. I worry about our destiny. I wish to see my country stable and my people living in harmony. But I am not sure whether I will witness that admirable era again before I die. Listen to a special hour-long BBC Focus on Africa programme marking 20 years since the fall of Somalia's leader Siad Barre on Wednesday 26 January 2011 at 1500 GMT. The man, 46, was knifed at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham at about 10:30 GMT, West Midlands Police said. A 41-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. The man has been taken to hospital. An area of the stadium, which hosts Diamond League events and the national championships, was cordoned off while forensic examinations were conducted. Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the stabbing. He called for a focus on fixing health and education problems rather than "taking our eye off the ball". Mr Davies, a leading campaigner for the UK to leave the EU, was speaking on BBC Radio Wales on Thursday. He also told the Jason Mohammad programme he would be happy to welcome President Trump to the Welsh Assembly. Mr Davies criticised assembly Presiding Officer Elin Jones for tweeting her support for Commons Speaker John Bercow's view that Mr Trump should not address MPs and peers. Taking questions from listeners on Brexit, Mr Davies said: "What we need to be starting to do is look at the more day-to-day things that are going on in our lives like, regrettably, fewer teachers in our schools, A&E response times here in Wales and ambulance response times. "I accept there are challenges across the health service in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and that is why we shouldn't be taking our eye off the ball and just focussing on Brexit, because it's the day-to-day things in people's lives that people want their politicians to sort out on their behalf." Mr Davies also called on pro-EU campaigners to apologise for claims that the economy would face an "apocalypse" if the UK voted to the leave the European Union. Asked whether he would welcome Donald Trump to the Senedd when he makes a state visit to the UK, Mr Davies said: "I would, because he's the president of the United States." "I don't subscribe to some of the beliefs he has, to some of the policies - in some instances they are abhorrent. "But I cannot help the fact that he's been democratically elected and you are welcoming the person in the most senior democratic office of the most powerful country on the planet. "You have to engage with that individual. We are a democracy." Mr Davies added: "I do think it's unfortunate that the presiding officer has chosen without consultation to put such a tweet out because she's basically saying that she doesn't want the representative of the American people to come to the National Assembly." Abdeslam is being interrogated in Belgium following his arrest in a dramatic raid in Brussels on Friday. Many weapons and a new terror network had been uncovered in the city, Mr Reynders told a foreign policy forum. The Paris attacks, claimed by so-called Islamic State (IS), left 130 people dead and dozens injured. Mr Reynders cited information that he said had come to light since Abdeslam's arrest. "He was ready to restart something in Brussels," he told the German Marshall Fund of the United States meeting in the city. "And it's maybe the reality because we have found a lot of weapons, heavy weapons, in the first investigations and we have found a new network around him in Brussels." Mr Reynders said the number of suspects had risen markedly since the November attacks. "We are sure for the moment we have found more than 30 people involved in the terrorist attacks in Paris, but we are sure there are others." France has reinforced its border security and Interpol has warned that accomplices may try to flee across frontiers now that Abdeslam is in custody. Molenbeek raid: As it happened Salah Abdeslam's luck runs out Is Molenbeek a haven for Belgian jihadis? What happened during the Paris attacks? Who were the Paris attackers? In another development, Abdeslam's lawyer, Sven Mary, said he planned to take legal action against Paris prosecutor Francois Molins for breach of confidentiality. Mr Molins told reporters on Saturday that Abdeslam had admitted he wanted to blow himself up during the attacks on 13 November, but then changed his mind. Mr Mary said he would take legal action against Mr Molins for breaching the confidentiality of the investigation. The Belgian authorities have charged Abdeslam with terrorism offences. The 26-year-old French national, born in Belgium, spent four months on the run. He is fighting extradition to France, which could take up to three months, though Mr Mary says his client is co-operating with the Belgian authorities. Abdeslam is believed to have fled shortly after the November attacks, returning to the Molenbeek district of Brussels. He is being held at a high-security jail in the Belgian city of Bruges. Investigators believe he helped with logistics, including renting rooms and driving suicide bombers to the Stade de France. The subject of a massive manhunt, Abdeslam was arrested about 500m (1,600ft) from his home in Molenbeek. His brother, Brahim, was one of the Paris attackers who blew himself up on 13 November. Another man arrested at the same time as Salah Abdeslam on Friday, Monir Ahmed Alaaj, has also been charged with participation in terrorist murder and the activities of a terrorist group, Belgian prosecutors say. The raid came after Abdeslam's fingerprints were found in a flat in another Brussels district, Forest, raided on Tuesday. Footage showed Abdeslam being bundled into a police car on Friday after a volley of gunfire. Alaaj was also injured during the arrests. Prosecutors said Alaaj had travelled with Abdeslam to Germany last October, where his fingerprints were taken during an identity check. Kirsty Williams launched the Digital Competence Framework (DCF) on Wednesday in order for pupils to be able to use technology effectively. The scheme, which includes learning on iPads, has been fast-tracked. But she stopped short of saying the Welsh Government had been slow in rolling out such a programme. While the turnaround since being given the go-ahead last year has been quick, experts warned in 2014 schools were in danger of being left behind over digital education. DCF is available now to all schools but it will not be compulsory until 2021, which by then will come seven years after the warning. By 2021, it will also be seven years since England introduced a new national curriculum for computing, although that is focused on learning how to code. "We are dealing with a curriculum that was designed before the fall of the Berlin Wall, before everybody had mobile phones and before tablets had even been invented," said Ms Williams. "We've recognised that we need to change our curriculum and this area was the area we identified which could make the biggest difference most quickly and that why we have acted and we've done so with pace." The framework is designed to map out the use of technology for children from nursery age through to 16. It is also said to be "future-proof" as pupils will be able to apply their skills to technology which at the moment does not exist. Ms Williams said digital skills would "sit alongside" numeracy and literacy in lessons so they will be able to read, do maths and use technology in all aspects of their learning. The framework - which has 13 are "pioneer schools" who helped develop it - is available to all schools to take on now but it will become compulsory in 2021 when the new Wales curriculum is fully rolled out. But Ms Williams denied a suggestion from an OECD global study which warned classroom technology could be a distraction. "The OECD said in their report there are limitations in what technology can deliver within a classroom but what the OECD also recognises is the important skills that people need to enter into the world of work," she said. "We're not throwing out the traditional methods, we're using digital technology to complement what we already do in Welsh schools. "Crucially, this is about being able to give young people the skills that employers will look at and will be looking for when students leave education." The Welsh Conservatives questioned whether the plans could work given a lack of access to broadband in many parts of Wales. Education spokesman Darren Millar said: "When the Cabinet Secretary states that the framework has been designed for 'all children in Wales', she forgets that many parts of the country lack access to even the most basic internet speeds. "I will therefore be seeking assurances from the Labour-led Welsh Government as to how they will ensure that children, for example, living in rural Wales are not at a disadvantage because of their failure to banish broadband not-spots." The 36-year-old leaves Hearts second in the Scottish Premiership, replacing Karl Robinson at a side currently 19th in England's third tier. He will be joined at the Dons by Stevie Crawford, who has been Neilson's assistant since he took his first job in management at Tynecastle in 2014. Neilson will take charge after Saturday's FA Cup tie with Charlton. Caretaker Richie Barker will remain in charge against an Addicks side managed by Robinson, after his six-year reign at MK Dons ended in October following a poor start to the season having been relegated from the Championship last term. Dons chairman Pete Winkelman said: "I'm hugely excited. Robbie has been on our list from day one - he's the most exciting young manager in the UK, by a country mile. "Hearts are a good club. They didn't stand in Robbie's way and they made it possible. They worked with us to make sure it was as smooth as it could be, given that it's in the middle of the season." Neilson's final match in charge of the Edinburgh side was a 2-0 victory over Rangers at Tynecastle, and afterwards he described his time at Hearts as "a phenomenal journey". The former Scotland international full-back led his side to the Scottish Championship title and promotion in his first season in charge, and a third-placed finish in the top flight last term. Neilson said of his appointment: "It's great to be here and I'm looking forward to developing the club, developing the players and moving the club forward. "The most important thing for me was picking the right chairman and the right club, and this was the right match at the right time - it's a club that's going places. "Hopefully the fans are ready for the ride. We want to create excitement but, most importantly, win football matches. With the squad that we've got here, we should be winning football matches - our job is to help them do that." Neilson joins a side who had previously held talks with former England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard over the vacancy. However, the 36-year-old said the role came "a bit too soon" for him after his exit from LA Galaxy. "If you allege something you should prove it," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. He was responding to a statement by Russia's President Vladimir Putin. Russia says Turkey downed the jet as it was flying over Syria. Turkey says the plane entered its airspace and was warned to leave. One Russian pilot was killed and the other rescued after Russia's Su-24 bomber was shot down by a Turkish F-16 fighter on the Syrian border on 24 November. A Russian marine was killed during the rescue operation in north-western Syria. Russia has insisted the plane did not cross the border and that it gave advance notice of the flight path to the US, Turkey's ally. But the US has supported Turkey's version of events. On Monday state department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said that "evidence from Turkey and our own sources indicates that Russian aircraft violated Turkish airspace", She added that Russia had not informed the US or its coalition of its air operation. "We do not co-ordinate operations with the Russian Federation," she said. "You should put your documents on the table if you have any. Let's see the documents," Mr Erdogan said. "We are acting with patience. It is not positive for the two countries which have reached a position which could be regarded as a strategic partnership to make emotional statements." President Erdogan also vowed to step down if the allegation that Turkey was buying oil from IS proved true, suggesting that President Putin should do the same if he was wrong. Russia is a major ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and its air strikes have targeted rebel groups, including IS. Turkey strongly opposes Mr Assad and has been accused of turning a blind eye to jihadist fighters crossing from its territory into Syria. Until a few months ago, Turkey was reluctant to play an active role in the coalition against IS. However, in August it allowed the US-led coalition to begin using its airbase at Incirlik. Russia has imposed sanctions on Turkey over the downing of the plane, including restrictions on imports of Turkish food and an end to visa-free travel. IS earns much of its money from illegal oil fields it controls in north-eastern Syria and western Iraq. Some of the oil is sold to the Assad regime and some is smuggled through middlemen to Turkey. However, the Turkish government has consistently denied being involved in the trade. "We have every reason to think that the decision to shoot down our plane was dictated by the desire to protect the oil supply lines to Turkish territory," Mr Putin said at a news conference in Paris on Monday. Mr Putin also accused Turkey of harbouring "terrorist organisations" operating "in various regions of Russia, including the North Caucasus". The Moscow government earlier said the Su-24 had been attacking "terrorists" from the North Caucasus based inside Syria when the Turkish jets attacked them. Turkey and Russia have important economic links. Russia is Turkey's second-largest trading partner, while more than three million Russian tourists visited Turkey last year. President Erdogan said Turkey would act "patiently, not emotionally" before deciding its response to the economic sanctions. Memories of her most popular sitcoms including The Liver Birds, Butterflies, and Bread have been shared online. Here is a selection of tributes that have been posted. I loved liver birds I followed that series till the end, I also followed Bread, I laughed so hard and Butterflies all of them are out of this world, I've been in the USA 13 yrs and I still go back to YouTube to cheer myself up and watch them. I remember Carla Lane in 1995 when she joined us protesters down at Shoreham Port authority who were against the live export of animals. Carla and Celia Hammond both came down and added support to the cause and helped bring the public attention to it after it had died down a bit following the initial furore when it was hijacked by anti-police protesters. Carla was doing some work against the live export trade from her house and I went there to help out. It was an amazing place with lots of animals a lot of whom were rescued. She was a very genuine person - not at all stuffy like some celebrities just very normal. An extraordinary talented, genuine, sensitive, inspirational and compassionate lady who dedicated her life to giving pleasure and humour to her fellow man. History will also forever cherish her memory as a champion and voice for all animals, not only for those who needed a safe haven but for those thousands of animals who were forced on long hazardous journeys to the slaughterhouse, their pain was Carla's pain, their tears were Carla's tears. Although for only a brief period, It was a privilege to have worked with this exceptional legend. Her heart made space for all humanity and she strived to make this world more humane. The world has lost a precious and irreplaceable jewel.

Abbie Lee Everett posted the image of her nephew Ben, 14, on Facebook saying he was "lucky to be alive". "It's not an easy photo to look at is it? He ended up in a coma because of somebody spiking his drink," she said. North Wales Police is investigating an incident in Old Colwyn, Conwy county, on Saturday night. Ms Everett said "people may not like this picture" but Ben, who is now home from hospital, had agreed for it to be shared to show what can happen. She added that few people show the consequences of when "kids can get their hands on drugs". "He ended up in a coma because of somebody spiking his drink.. he was lucky to be alive if another lad didn't carry him home when he did and my sister and her husband phoning an ambulance when they did, he wouldn't be here," she posted. "His bloods came back as some alcohol in his blood but really high of MDMA. A dodgy drug nearly took his life, is it really worth taking these kind of drugs?" She added: "Please share to show kids what can actually happen." Police said no arrests have been made but appealed for information. The claim: The falling pound has made the UK the world's sixth biggest economy, down from fifth. Reality Check verdict: The World Bank produces the rankings which are based on average exchange rates over the period. The UK has not fallen behind France so far. In an article in the Telegraph, former trade minister Lord Livingston wrote: "In the long term, this is unacceptable for the sixth-largest economy (it was the fifth largest, but the fall in the pound since June means we have fallen behind France)." Sixth place would put the UK behind the US, China, Japan, Germany and France in US dollar terms, with France having leapfrogged the UK into fifth. It is all down to exchange rates, in theory. If the pound is almost a fifth weaker against the US dollar since the EU referendum, our annual GDP of about £1.8 trillion is worth fewer dollars, dropping us down the table. Newspapers were full of the news that the UK had slipped to number six after the vote to leave the European Union, pointing out that if you applied the weaker pound exchange rates to the output of the economy in 2015, France did indeed come out ahead of the UK. But that's not how it works. The World Bank produces the rankings. It takes official annual GDP figures and then converts them into US dollars using an average exchange rate for the whole year. The GDP figures for 2015 based on exchange rates from last year rank the UK at number five. So will the slide in exchange rates move the UK down the World Bank's table in 2016? It might. The Office for National Statistics published its first estimate of GDP figures for the third quarter of 2016 on Thursday morning, suggesting the economy grew 0.5%. That means that GDP for the first nine months of the year was about £1.400 trillion. Over the same period the average exchange rate was $1.3925, according to data from the Bank of England. So if we convert our GDP in pounds into US dollars that gives us a GDP of $1.949 trillion in the first nine months of 2016. In France, GDP data for the third quarter came out on Friday morning, suggesting that French GDP was €1.641 trillion in the first nine months of 2016. Convert that to US dollars at an average exchange rate, taken from the European Central Bank, of $1.1157 and France's GDP on the World Bank measure is $1.831 trillion. Still smaller than the UK. And indeed, UK GDP for just the third quarter was also bigger than French GDP using this method. If the pound stays as weak as it is at the moment then France may overtake the UK in the full year. But it makes no sense, as many people have done, to relegate the UK economy by adjusting 2015 GDP using current exchange rates. If France does overtake the UK, it will be a reflection of exchange rates rather than how much is being produced in the economy. It is unlikely there has been a huge change in the amount the economy is producing since the EU referendum. The fall in exchange rates reduces its value in US dollar terms, but the substance of the economy hasn't really changed. Professor Diane Coyle, author of GDP: A Brief But Affectionate History, explains: "Making a judgement about international rankings based on one quarter of currency movement is not meaningful, although it has certainly made consumers worse off. "There might well be a change in the future. The UK might fall below France in a meaningful way but we would see that in real changes, not just the currency movement. "We would see jobs going abroad, businesses not getting investment, start-ups not getting funding. That's when we might see a significant change in the GDP rankings." Converting output into US dollars to rank economies may not be the best way to look at it. As a World Bank analysis of the best way to compare economies puts it: "Exchange rate-converted GDPs can be highly misleading on the relative sizes of economies and levels of material well-being." Another way to approach the problem is to use a measure called purchasing power parity. This tracks prices across the world to adjust for the different prices we pay for the same things in different countries. What that does is allow a fair comparison between countries that looks at the underlying size of economies without the numbers being warped by price or currency fluctuations. On that measure, also produced by the World Bank, the UK was the ninth-largest economy in the world in 2015. France was the 10th. Based on the latest forecasts, the World Bank expects the UK to stay ahead of France for the whole of 2016, measured by purchasing power or by converting to US dollars. There were some bad experiences for rugby fans getting to and from venues by train. Generally it feels like the service itself has been patchy. While I'm told the trip to Brighton for South Africa v Japan on Saturday was a breeze, the trains to Cardiff for Ireland vs Canada organised by First Great Western were rammed. The problem there, I'm told, is lots of fans turned up at the same time to travel. Great Western admits its messaging was not strong enough to encourage fans to travel earlier in the day. For the game on Wednesday in Cardiff between Australia and Fiji it says passengers with later tickets can travel on earlier trains (not vice-versa). It says it was an issue with travel management and not the number of services available, and it wants as many passengers as possible to travel just after the morning peak. On Saturday, Twickenham station itself had to be shut after a man was struck by a train and because of that there was even more overcrowding than usual. Eyewitnesses told us it was not far off serious crushing outside. Twickenham station struggles to cope with crowds at the best of times. It is a suburban rail station and not really designed for big sporting events, and when it deals with them it is at capacity. I'm told other routes like the shuttle bus to Hounslow Central were quite good. This weekend fans should be aware there will be six sets of engineering works across London. While Network Rail has suspended work on key routes to the venues, fans should check their routes so they don't get caught out. For example, on the Great Northern to Peterborough there will be a bus replacement service from midnight on Saturday. Network Rail says: "It is vital that we continue to maintain and upgrade the rail network millions of people in and around the capital rely on every day." Times will appear here once confirmed. Thomas, 23, watched as his ball bounced once and flew into the hole on 13, helping him to a round of 66. He leads on 12 under, one clear of Johnson (66) and two ahead of Rory McIlroy (70) and Phil Mickelson (68). Jordan Spieth of the US made a bogey-free 63 to move to seven under par. Johnson led for much of the day as overnight leader McIlroy failed to fire, but after five birdies the American slipped back with a bogey on 16, allowing Thomas to go past him. Thomas came through the back nine in 31 shots, adding birdies at the 15th and 16th to ensure he will go out last alongside Johnson on the final day. Mickelson finished the day on 10 under par after an extraordinary back nine, which saw him require three free drops in succession after a spectator picked up his ball on the 10th, and he then drove into the bushes on 11 and 12. Playing partner McIlroy remained very much in contention after a back nine that produced one birdie and eight pars. "It was hard to get any rhythm because Phil was here, there and everywhere, so I was waiting a lot," McIlroy said after his one-under-par round. "It probably shouldn't have affected me but it did a little bit." England's Westwood moved within a shot of the Northern Irishman thanks to a 66, while compatriots Tommy Fleetwood (66) and Tyrrell Hatton (68) are one further back on eight under. McIlroy will return to world number one if he wins in Mexico and Johnson finishes worse than fourth on his own. If it passes, the country will be the largest developed nation to end marijuana prohibition. The law was tabled on Thursday, and would allow adults over 18 to possess up to 30g of dried marijuana. The proposed legislation would allow the federal government to license producers, but provinces would be in charge of regulating consumer sale. Other issues, such as pricing, taxation and packaging must still be worked out. "This is a very important day, I've spent most of my adult life keeping children and communities safe," said MP Bill Blair during a press conference shortly after the legislation was presented to parliament. The former police chief had chaired the government's cannabis task force, which laid out a blueprint for legal recreational pot in Canada. The government is pitching the legislation as a way to keep pot out of the hands of minors and undercut organised crime. The law would increase penalties for those who sell to children, and revamp impaired driving laws to make it easier to prosecute people who drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It would allow police to test people's saliva if they think a driver has been using marijuana. The current legal prohibitions have been an "abject failure" at keeping the children from getting a hold of marijuana, says Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale. Canada has some of the highest marijuana use in the world, according to the task force, especially amongst young people. About 30% of people aged 20-24 use cannabis. The new framework would make it illegal to market marijuana products to children, or sell to anyone under 18. Provinces could raise the minimum age of consumption if they choose, the government says. New laws would also increase the penalty for people who sell to the under-aged, as well as create a new offence for people "exploiting children in the trafficking of cannabis". Trafficking cannabis outside the government's new legal framework would remain illegal. Initially, only fresh and dried cannabis, cannabis oils, seeds and plants would be licensed for sale, but adults could grow up to four plants and make edibles at home for their personal use. Marijuana won't become legal overnight. The government still has to debate the bill and provinces will have to draft their own regulations for sale. "There's still a lot of questions," said Lynne Belle-Isle, who works for the Centre for Addictions Research. Ms Belle-Isle participated in the task force's public consultations, and said she's happy with the government's focus on health and safety. "We agree that legalisation is the way to go, I think criminalisation is a lot more harmful," she said. One thing her organisation has been pushing for is to have the sale of marijuana contained to government-controlled stores that enforce minimum pricing. The system is already used in many provinces for hard alcohol, and she said research shows it cuts down on abuse. In a report released on Tuesday, the CD Howe Institute warned that if the cost is too high, it would do little to undercut the illicit market, but if it is too low, it could encourage consumption and fail to generate significant government revenue. Mr Goodale advised that, in the meantime, police will enforce existing marijuana laws. "This is an orderly transition, not a free-for-all," he admonished. Illegal pot dispensaries have sprouted up in cities across Canada in the last few years, especially in Vancouver and Toronto. Many have been regularly raided by police and two prominent marijuana activists and retailers - Marc and Jodie Emery - were recently arrested and charged with a number of offences including drug trafficking. Medical marijuana has been legal in Canada since 2001 and is grown by 42 federally licensed producers. The medical marijuana framework would continue to operate under the new legislation, but licensed Canadian producers who grow for the medical marijuana market are already jockeying to enter the lucrative recreational retail sector. The site of the former Lafarge cement works in Eastgate had been earmarked for the multi-million pound scheme. Durham County Council was set to buy the land for £1, and, with regional development agency One North East, spend £1.5m to kick-start development. With the agency now abolished, the plan has been put on hold. The council said it was still working with Lafarge on the future of the site. The planned eco-village would have used hot water pumped from underneath the Weardale hills to heat homes, a hotel, and a recreated Roman spa. There were hopes it would have have created up to 250 jobs. Lafarge, which still owns the site, said in a statement: "We remain committed to the outline plans for a renewable energy village at Eastgate. "However the majority of our work has taken place during the severe economic conditions that the UK has been facing over recent years, and so far we are not able to give a more detailed update on those plans." Durham County Council said in a statement: "We are still working with Lafarge on the future of the land." Just over 4.2 million people registered to vote in last year's independence referendum, the largest electorate ever recorded in Scotland. But this figure included 16 and 17-year-olds who are not eligible to vote on 7 May. The deadline for registering to vote in the general election is 20 April. With the exception of 2009, Scottish electorates have increased each year since 2003. Figures from the National Records of Scotland show that by 2 March a total of 4.04 million people in Scotland had registered to vote in the 2015 general election. What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election? Policy guide: Where the parties stand But the conduct panel's ruling means Jahangir Akbar can apply after five years to have this ban set aside. Mr Akbar was accused of trying to "eliminate" the celebration of Christmas in school and "undermining tolerance" of other beliefs. The tribunal said Mr Akbar's behaviour was "misconduct of a serious nature". Mr Akbar had been acting head of Oldknow Academy in Small Heath, one of the Birmingham schools caught up in the Trojan Horse claims of a takeover by groups promoting a hard-line Muslim agenda. The National College for Teaching and Leadership began a series of misconduct hearings in the autumn - and Mr Akbar was found guilty in December. With the announcement of the prohibition order, he becomes the first to face sanctions. The professional conduct panel, acting on behalf of the education secretary, concluded that Mr Akbar had "failed to uphold public trust in the profession and maintain high standards of ethics and behaviours". Mr Akbar was found to have narrowed the range of religious education and "cultural events", such as downplaying the celebration of Christmas and cancelling "non-Islamic" events. The panel concluded that this "tended to undermine tolerance" and "respect for the faith and beliefs of others". When a parent challenged Mr Akbar about his daughter's education, he was found to have shouted at the parent and "reacted inappropriately". But a number of claims against Mr Akbar were rejected. The panel did not accept accusations that he had tried to "exclude the proper teaching of sex and relationship education" or that he had tried to reduce the amount of music and art. The panel did not find evidence of gender segregation or that he was "reforming the school curriculum to include greater emphasis on religion". And the misconduct panel said it had not found that Mr Akbar was "promoting religious extremism". But the panel concluded that his "conduct was incompatible with being a teacher". The ruling means that Mr Akbar is banned from teaching in any school or educational setting, but he will be able to apply for this to be lifted in five years. "This should allow Mr Akbar sufficient time to demonstrate his understanding of, and ability to implement, a balanced and broadly based curriculum which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural and mental development of pupils." Oldknow School has subsequently been renamed as Ark Chamberlain Primary Academy. A new report says that activists, journalists and government critics are locked up for years and often have their sentences extended arbitrarily. The Uzbek authorities say there are no political prisoners in the country and that torture is being eliminated. The report looks at the cases of 34 current and 10 former prisoners. "We have concluded that at least 29 out of these 44 prisoners have alleged credibly that they have been tortured either during the pre-trial custody phase or in prison," Steve Swerdlow, Central Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch, told the BBC. One case highlighted in the report is that of prominent journalist Muhammad Bekjanov who has been held since 1999. Mr Bekjanov is the brother of Uzbek opposition leader Muhammad Salih and used to work on the opposition Erk newspaper. He fled Uzbekistan for Ukraine but was abducted by Uzbek security forces in 1999 following a series of explosions in the Uzbek capital Tashkent which were blamed on the opposition. His daughter Aygul - 18 at the time - told the BBC the family was in shock when they discovered what had happened. "Inside the flat we saw the signs of a struggle. Everything was broken, all the furniture was smashed. Our family and personal photographs had disappeared. We couldn't believe our eyes." Aygul Bekjanova says she has not seen her father since then, but that her mother visited him two years ago and found him in a terrible state, suffering from TB and with most of his teeth missing. "My mum says she could not recognise him. He had lost weight to such an extent - he was like skin stretched over bones." Ms Bekjanova says her father was so severely beaten during one interrogation that his leg broke. "He told my mother that once prison guards formed two rows, forced him to walk between them while they were indiscriminately beating him with sticks," she said. "Afterwards they left him on the concrete floor for four days without food or water, lying there covered in blood." Mr Bekjanov was due for release in 2012, but just before that date his sentence was extended by five years for breaking prison rules. Human Rights Watch says that such methods are a regular occurrence. "We documented here that the Uzbek government has a policy of extending the sentences of political prisoners on absurd, farcical, completely baseless grounds which they call violation of prison rules," Steve Swerdlow says. In one case the violations included "incorrectly peeling carrots" in the prison kitchen, according to HRW. The allegations of torture in the report are serious and include simulated suffocation, beatings, electric shock, hanging by wrists and ankles, as well as threats of rape. Human Rights Watch says that the prisoners include people who have tried to uncover corruption or seek democratic reforms in a state regarded as one of the region's most authoritarian. "Uzbekistan should immediately and unconditionally release everyone imprisoned on politically motivated charges, stop arbitrarily extending prison sentences and put a stop to torture in prison," Human Rights Watch says. Uzbekistan routinely denies that there are political prisoners in its jails. Its officials say that torture is being eliminated and that some officers accused of torture have been prosecuted. Would he be interested in David Cameron having one of his paintings to pass on as a gift to the most powerful man in the world? "My first thought was 'wow, Ronald MacDonald is going to have one of my paintings - amazing!" Eine, whose perky typography has been popping up across London for a number of years, chuckles at the memory of how his professional life has been turned on its head. To date, his highest profile work has been a collaboration with handbag designer Anya Hindmarch, and spray painting the entire alphabet on the shop shutters of a street in Spitalfields in his signature ice-cream palette. Now, his work has made its way to Washington DC and the walls of the White House. It's a long way for the south London-born street artist who started out because he "wanted to be part of that hooded track suit gang thing". "I was just completely shocked, yeah, just completely shocked and completely amazed to get that call," admits the 39-year-old. "I'm not a massive artist by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, I've been in papers and magazines, but you never have any idea if anyone actually reads it or pays any attention. "So, to receive a phone call from Number 10 saying they like your work, they want a piece of your work, and they want to give it to President Obama, it's like this can't be happening, this can't be true, it's just too weird." But it was true and, this week, Cameron handed the £2,500 canvas - entitled Twentyfirst Century City - to President Obama, along with scented candles for his wife and two pairs of candy-coloured wellies for the kids. "I had a little think about it before I said 'Yes'," admits Eine, who has gradually been making a name for himself on the street-art scene. "I assessed the pros and the cons, and I went back to them and said 'Yeah, cool, what are you interested in?'" The 'cons' in this case were Eine's fear he would be branded a sell-out by his peers, or that the painting would be left in bubble wrap and abandoned in a darkened room in the White House. The 'pros' were summed up with the name of one artist - Shepherd Fairey. Fairey's now famous Hope poster, a stencil portrait of Obama in red, white and blue, became an iconic symbol during the 2008 presidential campaign. "I wasn't prepared to give them something I felt wasn't going to be looked at and appreciated," says Eine. "But Obama used the poster by Shepard Fairey - probably the most famous street artist besides Banksy - so it was clear to me he has an idea and an appreciation of street art. "So the fact that I'm comfortable it's going to go up on a wall somewhere was a 'Yes', and the fact it was going to Obama - and he is a dude - was a 'Yes' too. "If it had been going to one of the old presidents, then I probably would have said no." The three feet by two feet canvas was chosen by Cameron's political aides from a selection suggested by Eine. He describes his typography-based work as "negative words painted in a beautiful and a happy way" and admits he was pushed to find something suitable at first. "Because of the time frame, it had to be something I had already painted, so there wasn't a massive amount they could choose from," he said. "They couldn't exactly give him a painting that said 'monsters' or 'delinquents'. "I e-mailed some images that I had and at the last minute, I remembered about a painting I had in a gallery in Brighton, so I sent them a picture of Twentyfirst Century City. "They came back immediately and said 'Yeah, we love it, Can we have it?' And I was like 'Yeah... that's cool'." Now Eine is hoping to get some feedback from Downing Street on what Obama thought of his work. "Hopefully I'll get a photo of the handover with the two of them standing there with their cheesy grins and their thumbs up," he laughs. "I'd put that on my wall - my 15 minutes of Andy Warhol fame. "It's a bit of a fairytale story for me, really, one that will hopefully have a happy ending." The advert for 'Snowz' features famous Thai actress Cris Horwang attributing her success to fairer skin. The company behind the product, Seoul Secret, issued a "heartfelt apology", saying it had not meant to offend. The incident has reignited the debate about attitudes to skin colour in Thailand. Comments about the shade of a person's skin have been commonplace in a country with an abundance of skin-whitening products, although many younger Thais now refuse to accept the stereotypes associated with skin colour. "In my world there is tough competition. If I don't take care of myself, everything I have built, the whiteness I have invested in, could be gone," Cris Horwang warns in the video advert. At that point her skin turns almost black, and a young, and very white, rival appears by her side. She looks down in dismay at her dark complexion and muses "if I was white, I would win". The advert stirred up a storm of debate online, with many Twitter users critical of the advert itself as well as the decision to withdraw it. One person wrote on a Thai-language forum Pantip.com: "I'm perfectly fine being dark-skinned and now you're saying I've lost? Hello? What?" "Suggesting people with dark skin are losers is definitely racist," wrote another. Seoul Secret quickly withdrew the advert, although it could still be seen on YouTube on Friday, and offered a swift apology. "What we intended to convey was that self-improvement in terms of personality, appearance, skills, and professionalism is crucial," the firm said. The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok says that as an advertising slogan it could not have been blunter - ending as it does with "Eternally white, I'm confident". The abundance of skin-whitening products available in Thailand, and the efforts many Thai women go to shelter from the sun, highlights the obsession with pale skin, our correspondent says. Two years ago, when Nonthawan "Maeya" Thongleng won the 2014 Miss Thailand World beauty contest, much comment centred on how dark her skin was compared to typical contestants. At the time she said she wanted to encourage all other women who felt insecure because of their darker skin. Darker skin is often associated in Thailand with manual, outdoor labour, and therefore with being "lower class". Also much of the urban elite are of ethnic Chinese origin, who tend to have lighter skin than the indigenous people of the Thai countryside. "This is not a problem that is unique to Thailand. It's a problem that exists all over the world," says social critic Lakkana Punwichai. "The issue also underlines the issue of class in Thailand, where those with darker skin are viewed as the poor from the rural north-east. We look down on them, on Cambodians, and Indians with darker complexions. "However, attitudes are changing as Thai elites start to look down on women who long to be white, the same way some westerners look down on "blonde bimbos"," she said. Wheater, 29, made more 100 league appearances in five years at the club. Heskey, 38, will also leave after scoring only three goals in 45 league appearances for Wanderers. Goalkeeper Paul Rachubka, 34, midfielder Neil Danns and striker Stephen Dobbie, both 33, will also depart in the summer. Defenders Oscar Threlkeld, 21, and Niall Maher, 20, will also leave. Departures also include midfielder Liam Feeney, 29, striker Rob Hall, 22, and defender Hayden White, 21 - who ended the season on loan at Ipswich, MK Dons, and Blackpool respectively. In addition, 10 development squad players will not have their contracts renewed. They were deregistered by the firm following a regionwide review. Now new services have been registered for Hawick, Peebles and Selkirk along "similar routes" to those previously operated. Perryman's Buses will run services in Hawick town centre, Bannerfield to Galashiels and a school bus between Oxton, Lauder and Earlston High School. The announcement follows the decision by Peeblesshire firm BARC Coach Hire to operate the Peebles town services on a commercial basis. Negotiations are continuing regarding other services which First identified as part of its review. All the new services will start on 15 August. Councillor Gordon Edgar said: "I am pleased that the council has managed to work with local bus operators to ensure a number of vital services will continue. "Going forward, the message is now that communities must support these services in order for them to have a future. "Otherwise we could be faced with a similar scenario in future years." Claire Lark, operations manager at Perryman's Buses, said it was committed to "providing a reliable bus service in and around the Scottish Borders". "We are pleased to be introducing a number of new routes in Hawick, Selkirk and Galashiels and look forward to quickly establishing good working relations with the towns and their people," she said. She added that the company would be investing about £500,000 in new vehicles. Stampy - whose real name is Joseph Garrett - will give the Royal Society of Edinburgh's Christmas lecture at the city's Caird Hall on Monday. The creator of the "Let's Play" videos for Minecraft and other games has more than 6.7m subscribers on his YouTube channel. The lecture will be shown exclusively on BBC iPlayer next Thursday. BBC Scotland said Minecraft fans would, for the first time, be able to see Stampy demonstrate how he makes his videos during a session with Dundee games entrepreneur Chris van der Kuyl. Stampy will talk through the making of his Christmas special while giving the audience an insight into his life and a career which has seen him become one of the world's most popular YouTubers. Mr van der Kuyl said Stampy was the "epitome of the 21st Century digital native" who would inspire audiences whatever their age. "Stampy is an inspiration to a whole new generation of young people who can clearly see that future careers will rely on a unique blend of talents, creativity, technical and design skills that can be mastered by everyone," he added. The RSE lecture will be shown as part of the BBC Make it Digital initiative to encourage digital creativity amongst young people.

The warning has been issued after 10 people were reported to the procurator fiscal in May. Police said they would monitor all routes through the region and offenders would be dealt with "robustly". They added that they would be stepping up operations during the common riding celebrations throughout the Borders. Insp John Scott said: "Ten people caught driving while drunk or under the influence of drugs is 10 too many and represents a complete disregard for the safety of other road users, as well as their own well-being. "The public regularly report their suspicions about people they believe are committing offences of this nature and whenever we receive these calls we will respond accordingly. "With the start of the summer and the Borders festival season upon us, we will have increased road policing patrols in place across the road network and our message is simple - do not drive if you have been drinking alcohol. "The limit in Scotland has reduced, so don't risk it." He also encouraged people to continue to report anyone they suspected of drink or drug driving. Emergency services were called at about 03:00 after a fire broke out on the Dundee Port pilot boat Lynx which was on its way to meet an incoming vessel. The crew extinguished the blaze, but were unable to use their boat. The RNLI said three people were transferred to a lifeboat. One man was taken to Dundee's Ninewell Hospital after suffering minor injuries. Staring into the lens, the survivors have found themselves able to speak candidly, without fear of identification or repercussions. Yusuf Omar, the mobile editor at the Hindustan Times has been using the filters to disguise the faces of women he interviews, while still allowing facial expressions to be visible. "Eyes are the window to the soul," says Yusuf. "And because of the face-mapping technology that Snapchat uses to make these filters work you don't lose that. "The dragon filter one of the girls used actually exaggerated them, so you can clearly see her expressions as she speaks." Sexual abuse is a huge problem in India, with an estimated 27.5 million women in the country affected. But it's also under-reported as many survivors don't come forward because they fear the impact being identified would have on their future. It's illegal to identify victims of sexual abuse in India, as in many other countries. So using technology like this allows them to speak openly while safeguarding their privacy. "I was five years old when it happened," said the girl who was disguised as a dragon. "Someone kidnapped me from Hyderabad to Mysore and locked me in a room. They tortured me at home and never let me go out." Yusuf said the women chose their own filters, "so they instantly had a feeling of control". "They liked the fact that they could see the final image in front of them and did not have to rely on me to adequately hide their identities. "Once the phone was set up each girl was left alone to record their story. "The girls I spoke to were very comfortable using smartphones and apps like Snapchat," Yusuf said. "It's something they are familiar with because it's something they do with their friends. "So doing it like this was like telling a friend - dignified and discreet - rather than having a huge camera shoved in their faces, which is intimidating. "Using the inside camera, they felt like they were looking in a mirror. "I hope that empowering survivors by giving them a voice will go some way to breaking down the stigma associated with suffering sexual abuse, not just in India but around the world." Additional reporting by BBC UGC and Social News team The 41-year-old has been brought to the club by manager Stephen Baxter after leaving League Two side Mansfield Town. Regular goalkeeper Sean O'Neill will be out of action for around four months as he continues his rehabilitation from surgery. Jensen has also played for West Brom, Bury and Crawley Town. Media playback is not supported on this device The 6'5'' goalkeeper played 38 times in the Premier League for Burnley and his acquisition is being hailed as a major coup by the Seaview club. "I am delighted to sign for Crusaders and I look forward to getting involved with pre-season and getting to know the lads," said Jensen. "I have heard good things about them from Michael Dougherty and I just now want to get the shirt on and show what I can do" "It is a quality signing and we know what this will do for Crusaders Football Club. It is not everyday a professional of this calibre is offered and we had no hesitation in getting Brian over to sign the one year deal," commented Crusaders chairman Stephen Bell. Crusaders have also signed former Portadown striker Mark McAllister, while midfielder Richard Clarke has left the club to join Ballinamallard United. Media playback is not supported on this device Misbah, 42, has never before played a Test at Lord's, but his unbeaten 110 appeared to have steered his side to a strong position. But two late wickets from Chris Woakes to add to the pair he took before lunch gave England hope after they had lost the toss and toiled in the field. This was Pakistan's first match at Lord's since the spot-fixing scandal of 2010, and it was fitting that Misbah, who has done so much to rehabilitate the team since that crisis, was the hero of their return. He celebrated his landmark by dropping to the turf and pushing out 10 press-ups, his team-mates applauding from the pavilion balcony as the rest of the ground rose to him. While his fine partnership of 148 with Asad Shafiq was ended by the persevering Woakes three overs before the close, nightwatchman Rahat Ali then falling for a duck to the final ball of the day, the tourists will resume on Friday morning well placed on 282-6. 'Misbah presses case for rising Pakistan' Media playback is not supported on this device After Woakes had got rid of Pakistan's opening pair, both caught by Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball's first Test wicket - Azhar Ali trapped lbw by a full in-swinger - had seen Pakistan reduced to 77-3. It brought skipper Misbah together with 39-year-old Younus Khan, giving the partnership a combined age of 81. And as the pair have so many times before, they first held the England attack at bay and then, with infinite patience, began to take control. Misbah's half-century came up off 81 balls, and while progress had been slow after lunch - 36 runs were scored in the first hour - acceleration came as England's attack wearied through the long afternoon. Younus had looked untroubled before clipping an innocuous delivery from Stuart Broad straight to Moeen Ali at midwicket for 33. But Misbah pushed on, his one big scare coming from a misjudged single when Gary Ballance's throw from close in missed the stumps at the striker's end with the batsman metres short of his ground. As he had in the series last winter the captain attacked the spin of Moeen after tea, taking him for 16 runs in five balls with two conventional swept fours and two reverse-sweeps. His century came up with a single run away down to third man, from 154 balls and in approaching four hours, making him the oldest man to hit a Test ton since 45-year-old Patsy Hendren in 1934. Media playback is not supported on this device With James Anderson ruled out by the selectors as he recovers from injury, Nottinghamshire's Ball became the 671st man to play Test cricket for England, and on a flattish pitch he immediately impressed. Taking the new ball with county team-mate Broad, he thought he had Shan Mashood's wicket with his second delivery, only for the lbw referral to confirm umpire Joel Wilson's original decision that the ball had pitched just outside leg stump. Bowling close to 90mph at times, his first spell of six overs went for 22 runs, and when he returned after lunch he trapped Azhar with a ball just clipping the edge of leg stump. As the ball softened and what little spice there was in the pitch leached away, he found life harder in the afternoon, ending the day with figures of 1-51 off 19 overs. But it was Steven Finn who once again struggled the most, his rhythm off and his pace down as he went wicketless for 86 runs from 21 overs. With Moeen all too easy to score runs off - his seven overs cost 46 as Misbah targeted him - it was left to Woakes to carry the threat. The Warwickshire seamer's dismissal of Shafiq with the second new ball for 73, edging an attempted leave behind to Bairstow, gave England late cheer before Rahat slashed wildly to throw away his own wicket. Media playback is not supported on this device Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott on Test Match Special: It was interesting from the point of view that the scene ebbed and flowed. Pakistan were in trouble and Misbah got them out of it. But if you ask me from the whole day what do I remember, it's nothing. It was a bit like chess all day. The pitch was good, the sun shone, the outfield was fast. It looked good for batting. Their batting line-up is quite fragile. If you were a bowler would you fancy their top order? Yes. You feel Finn is still running in through glue, chocolate or mud. He tries really hard, and it's like we're waiting for him to catch fire and do well. Woakes is by far the best bowler. He's got pace; he shapes it out when nobody else has moved it much. Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq: "We're in a good position. We really want to score another 100 runs to give us a good chance. "I'm really disappointed that Asad Shafiq missed out on scoring a hundred at the home of cricket. He has been an outstanding player for us at number six. "A lot of things have been said about my technique and the outside edge, and the celebration... I promised the guys. "We had an army camp before the tour and every time we had to get down and do 10 press-ups. Those in my celebration can't count because my arm was bent!" England debutant Jake Ball: "I was pretty relaxed and managed to get a decent night's kip. "To get the first ball down and somewhere near was nice and the second ball looked pretty adjacent from where I was. "I really enjoyed my wicket. When he reviewed it, I was nervous because it looked like it was sliding down but to see it clipping leg stump was really nice. "Those last two wickets were massive and picked us up bit and given us a bit of buzz if we come tomorrow and get couple early right in game. "If we can get them out for 350, we have batsmen who can score runs at a decent rate." Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. Whitehead retained his T42 200m title in an impressive 23.39 seconds as fellow Brit Dave Henson took bronze. Swimmer Firth dominated the S14 200m freestyle to take gold in 2:03.30 ahead of team-mate Jessica-Jane Applegate. Club thrower Jo Butterfield (F51) then broke the world record to secure Britain's eighth gold of the day. The other gold medal successes came in the afternoon session, courtesy of the rowing and cycling teams. It set the tone for a thrilling fourth evening, in which Rebecca Redfern also set a new European record in the SB13 100m breaststroke, finishing in 1:13.81 to take silver. Thomas Hamer touched home second in the S14 200m freestyle final, while there were bronzes for Amy Marren, Josef Craig and Stephanie Millward. Whitehead, 40, ensured he retained his title with a strong finish to keep South African Ntando Mahlangu in second place. His teammate Henson took bronze five years after losing his legs in an IED explosion in Afghanistan while serving in the military. "I won gold at the Invictus Games in 2014 and a week later I gave up smoking and thought I'd give Rio a bash," he told Channel 4. "It just shows you want you can do. People suggested I go for Tokyo but I said I would go to Rio and medal. "Five and a half years ago I nearly died. I've got my wife and daughter watching at home. Words can't express how thankful I am for their support." Butterfield, a former army civil servant who was paralysed after an operation on a tumour on her spinal cord, threw 22.81m to break her own world record. She and Kylie Grimes, who finished fourth in the same event with a throw of 18.75m, previously played wheelchair rugby, with Grimes representing Britain at London 2012. Media playback is not supported on this device Analysis by BBC Sport's Elizabeth Hudson in Rio Jo Butterfield and Dave Henson both come from military backgrounds but after different careers while serving their country, they both now also have Paralympic medals in common. Butterfield is now a wheelchair user, paralysed from the chest down, while Henson, the Invictus Games hero, has had to get to used to running on prosthetic blades. It hasn't been easy but with the assistance of Help for Heroes and the support of British Athletics, they have reached their goals of Rio medals - and the future looks bright for both. Six-time Paralympic champion David Weir celebrated the birth of his son by qualifying first in his T54 400m heat, finishing in 46:66 seconds. "I was a bit gutted that I didn't see him being born, but I had to come here and do what I do," he told BBC Radio 5 live. There was disappointment for Sammi Kinghorn who finished sixth in the T53 400m, before being disqualified for a lane infringement. China's Zhou Hongzhuan took gold with a world record time of 54.43secs, with Chelsea McClammer in second. ParalympicsGB's flag bearer Lee Pearson made a strong start in the dressage, topping the team test event 1B with a score of 75.280%. The rivalry between Firth and Applegate had already got off to a fierce start on Sunday, with Applegate setting a new Paralympic record in the heats before Firth beat that time by 1.99secs. Applegate was aiming to defend her Paralympic title, while Firth had already claimed a medal in Rio with gold in the S14 100m backstroke as Applegate won bronze. Find out how to get into just about any sport with our special guides The 20-year-old Firth represented Ireland at London 2012, where she won backstroke gold, but switched allegiance to Great Britain after the 2013 World Championships. Firth dominated the field after a quick start out of the block and despite Applegate's strength as a finisher, it was Firth who took the gold medal as Applegate finished in 2:06.92. Marren and Claire Cashmore were the first two Brits to compete against each other in the pool, in the SM9 200m final. Marren's powerful backstroke pushed her up the rankings as she battled through a competitive field to secure bronze in 2:36.26. China's Lin Ping took gold, finishing in 2:35.64 after a fierce final 50m, while Cashmore finished in eighth. Redfern claimed silver in her first Games appearance in a race that saw 15-year-old Fotimakhon Amilova of Uzbekistan set an astonishing world record of 1:12.45. The 16-year-old Redfern, who is visually impaired, finished inside the previous world record time she set at the 2016 British Summer Championships. "I can't deal with it at the moment. I'm so overwhelmed and it has been an amazing experience," she told Channel 4. "I came into the Games not expecting anything and to come out with something is great". Hamer, who holds the British record in the S14 200m, pushed gold medallist Tang Wai Lok of Hong Kong all the way to finish in 1:56.58, 0.26 seconds behind Wai Lok. "It's quite sickening at the time - it's nothing, just a fingertip," he told Channel 4. In the afternoon, Great Britain claimed their best ever rowing medal tally with three golds before adding a further two on the track. Rachel Morris kickstarted the success in the arms-shoulders single sculls, before Lauren Rowles and Laurence Whiteley won the trunk-and-arms mixed double sculls. Listen: Emotional Morris on 'unreal' Paralympics gold The mixed coxed four then triumphed, before Lora Turnham won the B 3km individual pursuit in the velodrome. The men's C1-5 team set a new world record to take sprint gold, before Neil Fachie won cycling B 1km time trial silver and Sophie Thornhill and pilot Helen Scottadded B 3km pursuit bronze to their 1km time trial gold. British triathletes Lauren Steadman and Alison Patrick took silver in the PT4 and PT5 respectively, with Melissa Reid also taking PT5 bronze. Tom Aggar also won bronze in the men's arms-shoulders single sculls to round off a successful morning for ParalympicsGB. There was success for British wheelchair tennis pair Jordanne Whiley and Lucy Shuker as they beat Chile's Macarena Cabrillana and Francisca Mardones 6-0 6-0 in the women's doubles quarter-finals. Alfie Hewitt and Gordon Reid also went through to the second round of the men's doubles, while Andy Lapthorne and Jamie Urdkein will compete for a bronze medal on Monday. American Tatyana McFadden took gold in the T54 400m, finishing in 53.30secs, two days after claiming silver in the T54 100m. McFadden, who was born with spina bifida and is paralysed from the waist down, is aiming to medal in seven Paralympic events. Her compatriot David Brown followed her success in the T11 100m, as he set a Paralympic record of 10.99 seconds to win gold. Away from the track, Britain's Jonnie Peacock was reunited with the lucky charms he lost after his T44 100m victory. Peacock lost a St Christopher necklace given to him by his mum and step-dad and a badge that belonged to his grandfather, but they were found on the track and returned to Peacock. Adlene Hicheur was arrested in 2009 after police intercepted his emails to an alleged contact in al-Qaeda. The emails suggested Algerian-born Hicheur was willing to be part of an "active terrorist unit", attacking targets in France. Defence lawyers argued that their client had never been part of a plot. Hicheur, who is a particle physicist, worked as a researcher studying the origins of the universe at Cern. His father embraced him in the Paris courtroom before he was taken away to prison. Hicheur has already spent two and a half years in jail while awaiting trial. He came under suspicion when threatening messages were sent to President Sarkozy in early 2008. The security services uncovered a series of email exchanges between Hicheur and an alleged al-Qaeda member called Mustapha Debchi. After his arrest in 2009 police found a large quantity of Islamist literature at his parents' home. At the start of his trial the 35-year-old scientist admitted that he had been going through a psychologically "turbulent" time in his life when he wrote the emails. He had suffered a serious back injury, for which he had been taking morphine. But he always denied he intended to carry out any attacks. His lawyer, Patrick Baudouin, described the verdict as "scandalous". "Everything has been done to demonise him," he said. Hicheur has not yet decided whether or not to appeal. If he decides not to, with time off for good behaviour, he should be released soon, Mr Baudouin said. Steven Ballantyne suffered life-changing injuries when he was struck by a car driven by Akib Aslam in Tweed Street, Grangemouth, in October 2014 as he walked home with a friend. The High Court in Edinburgh heard Aslam accelerated before swerving violently to throw his victim off the bonnet. The 22-year-old, from Stenhousemuir, was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing next month. He was originally charged with attempted murder following the attack. The Crown accepted a guilty plea to a reduced charge of assault to severe injury. He also admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by following Mr Ballantyne and Dylan Money, revving his engine loudly, carrying out handbrake turns and driving close to them. Mr Ballantyne suffered serious leg injuries in the attack and underwent surgery. He was housebound and unable to walk for three to four months after the attack.

"It's a great day," Robert Jones, 42, said as he left Orleans Parish Prison in Louisiana on Friday. Mr Jones was sentenced to life for rape, robbery and the manslaughter of Julie Stott in 1992. He was jailed even though another man, Lester Jones, had already been convicted of the murder. There had also been compelling evidence that linked him to all of the crimes Robert Jones was accused of having committed. State prosecutors had withheld crucial evidence in Robert Jones's trial. In June, a Louisiana court ruled that he did not get a fair trial, but he remained in prison. Last month, the murder detective and the judge from Mr Jones's original trial told BBC News they believed his conviction had been a miscarriage of justice. This week a judge said he could leave prison on bail pending a retrial, citing "disturbing testimony from a lead detective". Speaking outside the prison, Mr Jones's mother described his release as a "blessed day". His daughter Bree, who was born after he was jailed, said: "I've been looking forward to it for a long time." The comedian entered the water at 06:30 BST at Old Windsor Lock, in Berkshire, and aims to swim 21 miles to Teddington, in south-west London. He is continuing his Big Splash Challenge for Sport Relief despite being warned not to swim in the river. Thames Water said 500,000 cubic metres of raw sewage had entered the London section of the Thames this week. Sport Relief said Walliams had received several inoculations to protect him from diseases carried in the river, and his health was constantly being monitored. The 40-year-old Little Britain star has fallen behind schedule in his bid to swim the 140-mile route in eight days. He began at the river's source in Gloucestershire on 5 September but suffered a bout of "Thames Tummy" which left him with a high temperature. Walliams said he had recovered from the illness but was wary of the challenges ahead. He said: "We have broken through the 100 mile barrier now which is great, but once I reach Teddington Lock the Thames becomes tidal and there's a whole new set of challenges. "The currents and undertows are very dangerous so I'll need to be strong." He died of a heart attack at home in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, a spokeswoman said. On Friday, he had held the torch in the Rio neighbourhood of Gavea, on the final leg of the Olympic relay. He cemented Brazil's place as a destination for plastic surgery, giving the world the "Brazilian butt lift". But he first earned the respect of his fellow citizens by providing his skills free of charge to victims of a disaster. After a huge circus tent burned hundreds of spectators in the Brazilian city of Niteroi in 1961, Pitanguy tended to disfigured victims. "Ivo Pitanguy dedicated his life to helping people live better," Brazilian interim President Michel Temer said in a statement. "He will be missed." "I saw the importance of saving lives and saving functions but it seemed that nobody gave importance to the stigma of deformity and how people suffered with that," Pitanguy told the Guardian newspaper in an interview in 2014. Trained in Paris and London, he became a pioneer of plastic surgery in Brazil and a "cultural icon" in the "beauty-obsessed" country, Reuters writes. Yet he still offered his staff and services free of charge to less well-off patients one day a week, the news agency adds. Salvador Dali painted him and in 1999 he received one of the highest honours in Rio when a samba school used him as their theme: "The Universe of Beauty - Master Pitanguy." His body will be cremated on Sunday. The 25-year-old netted after coming on as a second-half substitute in the 2-1 friendly win against Saudi Arabian side Al-Batin in Doha, Qatar. Oscar later won the free-kick from which Lu Wenjun struck the winner. "I only trained for two days," he said. "This is the start of a new season - we have only one goal, which is to win." Oscar added: "My team-mates played very well today. The Chinese guys tried to help us [to integrate]. It's difficult to have a good game in such a short time - they made it happen." The Chinese Super League gets under way in March. It is the first confirmation of his whereabouts since Wednesday, when he fled rebel forces in the city of Aden. Officials say he will now travel to Egypt for a two-day Arab league summit. Saudi authorities began air strikes in Yemen on Wednesday night, a step Iran called "dangerous". The jets targeted Houthi positions in the capital Sanaa, along with missile batteries and warplanes. Saudi Arabia says it is "defending the legitimate government" of President Hadi. Mr Hadi took refuge in Aden last month after fleeing Sanaa, where he had been under house arrest since the Houthis took full control of the capital in January. On Thursday a Saudi official said he had travelled to Riyadh, but would attend the Arab summit in Egypt as the "legitimate" Yemeni president. The Saudi ambassador to the US Adel al-Jubair said the Saudi operation would begin with air strikes, and vowed: "We will do whatever it takes in order to protect the legitimate government of Yemen from falling." Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya TV reported that the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Morocco and Sudan were also sending aircraft, while Egypt, Jordan, Sudan and Pakistan were ready to take part in any ground offensive targeting the Houthis. The US said it was providing "logistical and intelligence support". However, a Houthi official warned the coalition that it risked provoking a wider war. Following the air strikes, people rushed to the military sites which had been targeted to check the level of destruction. Dozens of families meanwhile have fled Sanaa to safe places outside the city, fearing new air strikes. There are long queues of cars at petrol stations amid fears of fuel shortages, and many shops and firms have shut. School and university classes in Sanaa have been suspended for the time being. Some Sanaa residents see the air strikes as a way of ending the crisis, which they blame on the Houthis for taking over their city. However angry Houthi followers and supporters of the former president called for protests against the attacks. On social media, Houthi supporters have been urging them to keep advancing to the border and storm Saudi Arabia, and to blockade the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea. Shia power Iran, which Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia accuses of backing the rebels, also demanded an immediate halt to the strikes, which it said violated Yemen's sovereignty. But Turkey has accused Iran of trying to dominate the region. President Tayyip Erdogan said he supported the operation against the Houthis, adding Iran's stance had begun "annoying us, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries". "This is really not tolerable and Iran has to see this," he said. A conflict that pulls in regional powers could disrupt global oil supplies, and the price of Brent crude rose almost 6% after the strikes began. There were reports of explosions and airstrikes in the capital Sanaa, in the Houthis' northern heartland of Saada province, in Aden, and in the third city, Taiz. Media reports said at least 13 civilians were killed in Sanaa, and 18 people were killed in clashes between rebel fighters and soldiers and militiamen loyal to Mr Hadi in southern Yemen. Yemen's foreign minister, Riad Yassin, told the Saudi TV channel al-Hadath that the air strikes were welcome, adding: "I hope the Houthis listen to the sound of reason. With what is happening, they forced us into this." The Houthis have said their aim is to replace Mr Hadi's government, which they accuse of being corrupt, and to implement the outcomes of the National Dialogue that was convened when Mr Saleh was forced to hand over power in 2011 following mass protests. Yemen - who is fighting whom? The Houthis: Zaidi Shia-led rebels from the north, who seized control of Sanaa last year and have since been expanding their control President Hadi: Backed by military and police loyalists, and by militia known as Popular Resistance Committees, he is trying to fight back against the rebels from his stronghold in the south Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula: Seen by the US as the most dangerous offshoot of al-Qaeda, AQAP opposes both the Houthis and President Hadi. Islamic State: A Yemeni affiliate of IS has recently emerged, which seeks to eclipse AQAP Yemen crisis: An Iranian-Saudi battleground? Yemen: Waiting for the war Meeting the Houthis - and their enemies The rise of Yemen's Houthi rebels What are the differences between Sunnis and Shia? Opposition councillors claimed the pair were "not co-operating" after Mr Anderson decided to stop attending Combined Authority cabinet meetings. Liberal Democrat leader Richard Kemp accused them of "behaving like seven-year-olds in the school playground". Mr Anderson said he had a "fantastic" relationship with Mr Rotheram. Mr Rotheram said there was "a very strong determination" on all sides to "grasp the devolution opportunity for the benefit of all our communities". Former Liverpool Walton MP Mr Rotheram was elected metro mayor for the Liverpool City Region earlier this year. Mr Anderson also ran for the newly-created post and later said he was "heartbroken" at the result. Mr Anderson said his decision to stop attending Combined Authority cabinet meetings was to focus on an increased workload, adding that his deputy Ann O'Byrne would attend in his place. However, Mr Kemp said he was "distressed" that the two mayors were apparently "just not cooperating for whatever reason". He accused them of showing a "lack of commitment" to devolution in the region. A Liberal Democrat motion at a Liverpool City Council meeting called on Mr Anderson to "fully commit to working on and with the Liverpool City Region cabinet, and to reinstate the staff that he has withdrawn from the City Region's operations to ensure that it is able to carry out its strategic functions on behalf of the people of Liverpool". The motion was rejected by the majority Labour council. Mr Rotheram said: "Mayor Joe Anderson has made a massive contribution to the transformation of Liverpool and the evolution of our devolution deal. "We are immensely fortunate to have a leader with his experience and skills within the city region, and our working relationship will be one of the key foundations of our future success." Building work has begun at a site next to Lindores Abbey in Fife where whisky production dates back 500 years. The project is the brainchild of Drew McKenzie-Smith, whose family have owned the 12th Century abbey and neighbouring farm for more than 100 years. He hopes that the multi-million pound distillery and visitor centre will be up and running by next summer. The finished whisky product should be available by 2023. It will bring the history of Lindores Abbey full circle, as the earliest written evidence of whisky distillation in Scotland originates in its ruined grounds. An exchequer roll records that in 1494 one of the abbey's Tironension monks, Friar John Cor, paid duty on malt to make "aqua vitae" for King James IV. The distillery will be constructed on the site of a 200-year-old farm steading, which was built from the abbey's stones and located next to the ancient monument. Experts are now carefully demolishing the building before using the same stone to rebuild, convert and enlarge it into a modern distillery. Mr McKenzie-Smith, a farmer, said that the distillery will use barley produced on his own fields to make the whisky. "We'll be using the same fields that the monks used 500 years ago to make 'aqua vitae'," he added. "We'll be using the same fields under the same sunshine." And he hopes the project could safeguard the future of the ruined abbey, which is the final resting place of the ill-fated first Duke of Rothesay. It was also visited by William Wallace and King John Baliol before it was sacked at the behest of the reformer John Knox in 1559. A royalty from the sale of every bottle of whisky is likely to go into a trust that will preserve the abbey. Mr McKenzie-Smith said: "To us, the history of Lindores Abbey is just as important as the plans we have to create a distillery. "If it wasn't for the expertise of the Tironesian monks who came to Scotland in those dark and frightening medieval times we may not have the advanced industry we do today." He hopes the development will draw tourists to the area around Newburgh. "We believe a whisky distillery and visitor centre will help drive tourists to this part of Fife and, in turn, have a positive impact on the local economy," he said. The claims have led US Senate's intelligence committee to pledge to review the way the country's biggest intelligence organisation - the National Security Agency (NSA) - undertakes surveillance. According to the leaks, what are the key methods the spy agency uses? In June 2013, leaked Snowden documents revealed how the NSA had backdoor access to major technology companies. The files showed the agency had access to the servers of nine internet firms, including Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, in order to track online communication under a surveillance programme known as Prism. They claimed the project gave the NSA - along with the UK's eavesdropping station GCHQ - access to email, chat logs, stored data, voice traffic, file transfers and social networking data. However, the companies denied they had offered the agency "direct access" to their servers. Some experts have also questioned Prism's real power. Digital forensics professor Peter Sommer told the BBC such access may be more akin to a "catflap" than a "backdoor", with intelligence agencies able to tap into servers only to collect intelligence on a named target. According to leaked documents from GCHQ published by the Guardian, the UK was tapping fibre-optic cables carrying global communications and sharing the data with the NSA, its US counterpart. The documents showed that GCHQ was able to access 200 fibre-optic cables, giving it the ability to monitor up to 600 million communications every day. The information on internet and phone use was allegedly stored for up to 30 days in order for it to be sifted and analysed. GCHQ declined to comment on the claims but said its compliance with the law was "scrupulous". In June 2013, Italian weekly L'Espresso published claims that GCHQ and the NSA had targeted three undersea cables with terminals in Italy, intercepting commercial and military data. The three cables in Sicily were named as SeaMeWe3, SeaMeWe4 and Flag Europe-Asia. Then in October, the Washington Post published claims the NSA had hacked into fibre-optic cables and other network equipment connecting servers operated by Google and Yahoo. According to the leaks, the agency had obtained and sifted through a wide range of material, including "metadata" - which records who sent or received e-mails and when - text, audio and video, in an operation run in conjunction with British counterpart GCHQ. Google, which has a number of US and overseas data centres - consisting of thousands of miles of cables and computers stored in warehouses - has said it is now working to encrypt its cables. In June 2015, documents leaked by WikiLeaks purported to reveal US spying on three successive French presidents, as well as cabinet ministers and the French ambassador to the United States. Recordings of phone conversations by Francois Hollande, Nicolas Sarkozy, and Jacques Chirac were collected by the US National Security Agency (NSA), according to the documents, which date to 2012. The spying was "unacceptable", said Mr Hollande. The leak echoed similar revelations October 2013, when German media reported that the US had bugged German Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone for more than a decade - and that the surveillance had only ended a few months earlier. Der Spiegel magazine, again quoting documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden, claimed a listening unit was based inside the US embassy in Berlin. Investigative journalist Duncan Campbell explained in his blog how windowless areas on the outside of official buildings could be "radio windows". These external windows - made of a special material that does not conduct electricity - allow radio signals to pass through and reach collection and analysis equipment inside. According to security experts, standard mobile phone encryption systems can be vulnerable because their scrambling system is, in software terms, separate from the program used to create a message. It is possible for an eavesdropper to position themselves between the message-making software and the encryption system at either end of a conversation and see information before it is scrambled or after it is unscrambled. End-to-end encryption, now adopted by many, closes this gap by having the message-making software apply the scrambling directly. In addition, many of these systems run a closed network so messages never travel over the public internet and are only decrypted when they reach their intended recipient. How encryption systems work As well as the bugging of the chancellor's phone, there are claims the NSA has monitored millions of telephone calls made by German and French citizens along with the emails and phone calls of the presidents of Mexico and Brazil. The Guardian later reported that the NSA had monitored the phones of 35 world leaders after being given their numbers by another US government official. Again, Edward Snowden was the source of the report. Der Spiegel magazine published claims in June that the NSA had also spied on European Union offices in the US and Europe. The magazine said it had seen documents leaked by Edward Snowden showing that the US had spied on EU internal computer networks in Washington and at the 27-member bloc's UN office in New York. The files allegedly suggested that the NSA had also conducted an eavesdropping operation in a building in Brussels, where the EU Council of Ministers and the European Council were located. Then, in July, the Guardian published claims in further leaked documents that a total of 38 embassies and missions had been "targets" of US spying operations. Countries targeted included France, Italy and Greece, as well as America's non-European allies such as Japan, South Korea and India, the paper said. EU embassies and missions in New York and Washington were also said to be under surveillance. The file is said to have detailed "an extraordinary range" of spying methods used to intercept messages. They included bugs, specialised antennae and wire taps. In January 2014, the Guardian newspaper and Channel 4 News reported that the NSA collected and stored almost 200 million text messages per day across the globe. NSA programmes codenamed Dishfire and Prefer extracted location information, contacts and financial data from SMS messages, including automated texts, such as roaming charge alerts, the newspaper said. According to The Guardian, this was an untargeted collection of people's messages, rather than being aimed at known surveillance targets. However, the NSA told the BBC the programme stored "lawfully collected SMS data" and any implication that collection was "arbitrary and unconstrained is false". Media playback is not supported on this device Potentially it could make him the most successful player of the current generation. He is already three-quarters of the way to a career Grand Slam, a feat achieved before his 24th birthday on Thursday. The power generated by Dustin Johnson's athleticism or the imperious ball-striking of Rory McIlroy are eclipsed by the composure, determination and cussed competitiveness of the new Open champion. "Considering the depth and parity in our sport, there's numerous guys who can tee it up every week and expect to win majors," the 2015 winner Zach Johnson told BBC Sport. Johnson then made the telling observation about Spieth: "He certainly has the intangibles between the ears that many of us strive for, it's very impressive." Spieth's mental strength helps him pull together the other components of his golf game that are undoubtedly impressive but not as outstanding as those possessed by many of his rivals. He has courage too. Last week's Open was slipping from his grasp during a tortuous first 13 holes of his final round. Spieth's three-shot advantage had turned into a one-stroke deficit before he summoned sufficient poise to embark on the title-winning sequence of birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie to complete four rounds in the sixties and claim his first Claret Jug. "It's one thing to come back from a bad round and play good but it's another thing to come back from a bad beginning to a round and just obliterate the golf course over the last five or six holes," Johnson said. "That is the sign of a true champion. We are talking about Jordan Spieth, it is not like he doesn't know how to do it." But, even though the young Texan had won the 2015 Masters and US Open, this was his first genuine chance of adding to his major tally since blowing the 2016 Masters. Media playback is not supported on this device We all remember at the short 12th he dumped two balls in the water and Danny Willett pounced to snatch the Green Jacket. So at Birkdale, Spieth - who was bolstered by a pep-talk on a recent holiday with record-breaking swimmer Michael Phelps - needed self belief in abundance to avoid throwing away another major. "He's heard a lot since that 2016 Masters and I'm sure there are doubts that have crept in," his caddie Michael Greller told BBC Radio 5 live. "He just said 'you know what? I know how to do this'. He's now won three majors and it was just cool to see him with his back against the wall, probably more than at 12 at Augusta in '16, and he showed his character and his grit." Next month Spieth can become the youngest golfer to complete the career Grand Slam. The PGA Championship, starting on 10 August, is the only missing major and he will head to Quail Hollow with tremendous appetite to make it a full house. But according to the man who knows him best on the golf course, the pressure will have eased from Spieth's shoulders. "I would expect him to be free rolling, he's played there before, he played there in 2013 and I think it's a great course for him," Greller said. Media playback is not supported on this device "We will go to Akron the week before (for the WGC Invitational) and play into it and hopefully set up a great rest of the year." Whatever happens, Spieth has already substantially elevated his standing by winning three separate majors. Given his rapid rate of collection, there are those who believe him to be the heir apparent to Tiger Woods or even Jack Nicklaus. "Much is being said about the fact Jordan and I were able to win three legs of the Grand Slam before the age of 24," Nicklaus said on his website. "But if you look, he's won 11 tournaments and I had won eight before 24." Nevertheless it is way too soon to make career comparisons, even when Spieth's win ratio sits alongside those two greats of the sport. "I'm very careful as to what that means going forward because what those guys have done has transcended the sport," Spieth observed. "And in no way, shape or form do I think I'm anywhere near that, whatsoever. So it's a good start, but there is a long way to go." Spieth's maturity with his words mirrors his growing composure on the course. It enables him to avoid wasting shots and turning potentially three strokes into two under the most intense pressure. "You just don't know, really, what your mind is going to do to you sometimes," he said. "You can control it to an extent but certain situations are going to bring more tension and you have to kind of channel that the right way, play the right shots." The new Open champion knows he will be under even more scrutiny going forward. "Things have happened very quickly," he said. "And it's good and bad, because a lot comes with it. And a lot more attention versus just being able to kind of go about your own thing. And I never realised how underrated that was. "I wanted to be in this position but, here and there, it becomes harder when it doesn't go your way. And you're harder on yourself because you expect so much." Spieth's return to major winning ways sends a powerful message to McIlroy and the other leading lights. They know the task of adding to their own collections of golf's biggest prizes is made all the more difficult by this remarkable young American. McIlroy showed his own mental fortitude to finish in a share of fourth place after his potentially ruinous start last Thursday, when he was five over par after six holes. But, inescapably, this was another major in which the 28-year-old failed to genuinely contend at the sharp end of the championship. McIlroy has four majors, Spieth is just one behind and is more than three years junior to the Northern Irishman. Who will end up with more titles from golf's big four events? The current evidence probably suggests the American, who has now climbed to number two in the world. But McIlroy also has ample supplies of guts and determination and last week's result at Royal Birkdale is likely to kick those qualities to the fore. And they will be needed because we can all now be certain of the extraordinary resolve of The Open's newest champion. Media playback is not supported on this device Klopp said the Reds are not "a selling club" following reports they rejected a £72m bid for the Brazilian in July. It comes amid news Barcelona are considering reporting Paris St-Germain over their pursuit of forward Neymar, who has a £198m release clause. "If you say he is not available to be sold, where is the interpretation?" Klopp reiterated on Monday. "The word 'not' means there is no interpretation. There is nothing new." Coutinho, 25, captained Liverpool to a 3-0 friendly victory over Hertha Berlin on Saturday and is set to feature against Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup on Tuesday. He scored 14 goals last season, having spent six weeks out with an ankle injury, and signed a five-year deal with the Reds in January. It was the Brazil international's most productive season since he arrived at Anfield from Inter Milan for £8.5m in January 2013. Dr Hannah Ryan told a disciplinary hearing she had been in a state of "disbelief, fear and panic" after finding out nurse Pauline Cafferkey had had a high temperature, a warning sign. Instead of alerting public health officials at Heathrow Airport, both continued on their journey home. Dr Ryan denies misconduct. Dr Ryan and Ms Cafferkey had been working in Sierra Leone with other volunteers to help treat Ebola victims. And on 28 December they had landed at Heathrow, "keen" to be home for the Christmas holiday period, the tribunal heard. They queued to get clearance from Public Health England medics to be allowed to leave. Trying to help PHE staff with the process, they agreed to take and record their own temperatures. Dr Ryan had then taken Ms Cafferkey's temperature and got a reading of 38.2C - higher than normal. But a lower temperature, 37.2C, was actually recorded, and Ms Cafferkey was then allowed to catch her connecting flight to Glasgow to go home. She fell seriously ill the next day and tested positive for Ebola. Dr Ryan has admitted misleading others and that she "acquiesced" in the wrong temperature being given, but denies misconduct by her actions at the airport and during a subsequent investigation by Public Health England. The tribunal was adjourned until tomorrow morning. In September 2016, the Nursing and Midwifery Council cleared Ms Cafferkey of misconduct over claims she had hidden her infection, after a panel ruled that her judgement had been impaired by her illness. In November, another colleague, senior nurse Donna Woods, was suspended by the NMC for two months. The panel found Mrs Wood suggested a lower temperature be recorded on Ms Cafferkey's screening form so they could pass through checks at passport control more quickly. Admiralty Arch and the Old War Office have both been approved for conversion into hotels since they were sold by government departments. Former Labour home secretary Lord Reid said it could "put our national security - not to mention our monarch - at risk". But the government insisted current arrangements were "appropriate". The issue was raised by Lib Dem Lord Wallace of Saltaire, who was, until the election, a spokesman for the Cabinet Office. He pointed out that "the IRA, from within the area of Whitehall, managed to mortar No. 10" and asked whether the security services would vet all the staff of the hotels on that road. Lord Lisvane - until recently the clerk of the House of Commons - said it was "extremely important" that a full formal security assessment was carried out for each building. Alluding to a recent heist in London, he added: "I also ask him to ignore the siren voices which suggest that security can be assured simply by sealing tunnels. It cannot; ask anybody in Hatton Garden." Labour's spokesman, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, suggested a select committee should investigate the matter. But the Cabinet Office minister, Lord Bridges of Headingley, told peers that the freeholds were still owned by the government, overseen by the security and intelligence services and the Metropolitan Police. The minister went on to divulge that the government had not insisted on security clearances for each member of hotel staff, but added: "It is obviously in the hoteliers' interests to take their security checks on their staff into consideration". He told peers the government had generated £1.4bn in land and building sales since 2010. A new study will also look at creating an express-link between Oxford and Cambridge via Milton Keynes. The news came as work begins to prevent flooding on a stretch of the A34 between Chilton and the A4130 Milton Interchange. Nicola Blackwood, MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, described it as "a real breakthrough in tackling congestion". However, Labour has criticised the plans, saying they were announced previously. Technology enhancementson the A34, from junction 13 to junction 9, will include CCTV cameras and screens to warn drivers about delays. There will also be improvements at Peartree and Botley interchanges. A study will look at linking Oxford and Cambridge by using existing roads and considering the case for filling missing links. All of the changes were announced in this year's Autumn Statement and are part of a £15bn nationwide programme. Ms Blackwood, who said she was given the figure of up to £50m by the treasury, said: "Thousands of my constituents are affected by traffic misery on the A34 on a daily basis yet there has been no major investment for over two decades." But, Labour shadow transport secretary Michael Dugher said it was "yet another re-announcement" on road improvements. A six-month drainage programme has also begun on both carriageways of the A34 between Chilton and the A4130 Milton Interchange. The Highways Agency said the work would mean fewer unplanned road closures for emergency repairs. A 50mph speed limit will be in place for the duration of the work, while overnight lane closures will also take place. Jewellery expert Geoffrey Munn valued the intricate Faberge object at about £1m, The Express and Star reports. The show was filmed at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands, on Wednesday and will be aired later this year on BBC One. The Antiques Roadshow team is currently filming its 40th anniversary series. The show's executive producer Simon Shaw said the ornament, which is shaped like a stem of flowers, was likely to be one of the show's most expensive valuations. Builder Dan Bansal, 50, from Hagley, observed the valuation and told the Express & Star Mr Munn was stunned by the quality of the ornament. "The expert said it's probably the second time he's ever done that type of valuation," he said. "I think he was reluctant to say £1 million and nervous to say it was worth that much." Mr Shaw said: "We've had one of the most significant jewellery finds in 40 years of Antiques Roadshow history - but we don't want to spoil the surprise." The series will be aired in the autumn. By midday, the benchmark FTSE 100 share index was 37.05 points higher at 7,177.80. Barclays was the top riser on the index, up 3%, while insurer Prudential rose 2.5%. Shares in ITV increased by 2.3% after analysts at Investec lifted their rating on the broadcaster to "buy" from "hold". Mining stocks were trading lower as metal prices fell. Glencore shares dropped 3.6% while Rio Tinto fell 2.9%. On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.3% against the dollar to $1.2494, and dipped 0.1% against the euro to 1.1637 euros. There are few similarities between the outlook of Emmanuel Macron, a centrist, and Marine Le Pen of the far right. Their differences over foreign and defence policy are stark, underscoring that this is not so much a traditional political battle, as a struggle over a new cleavage: between nationalism and internationalism. Marine Le Pen, by definition, is a nationalist. This is the prism through which she sees all political choices. She wants to make France stronger by reinforcing its sovereignty and reducing the scope of its entanglements with other countries and institutions. Her National Front (FN) party's slogan "Les Français d'abord" (loosely translated as "the French First") is as appropriate a summary of its approach to foreign affairs as it is for its domestic outlook. Ms Le Pen - like the FN itself - sets herself up as the champion of "eternal France" against the forces of globalisation. Emmanuel Macron by contrast, at least in foreign policy terms, is a man of the status quo and of continuity, an ardent advocate of the EU and of internationalism. Here are their fundamental differences on key issues: MACRON. Opposes any rapprochement with Russia and backs sanctions against Moscow as long as the Minsk accords (to resolve the Ukraine crisis) are not honoured. Has described Russian foreign policy as "dangerous" and one that "doesn't hesitate to break international law". Cyber attacks on computers used by Mr Macron's En Marche movement have been linked by some to Russian-based hackers. LE PEN. Met Vladimir Putin in Moscow recently and sees nothing illegal in Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea. Wants to develop a strategic partnership with Moscow to fight so-called Islamic State. French media have revealed that the FN has received significant loans from Russian banks or banks associated with Russian financiers. Marine Le Pen denies the money has any bearing on FN positions towards Russia. As French banks would not lend the FN money, she was obliged to seek funding abroad, she said. Who's funding France's far right? Le Pen visits Putin in Moscow MACRON: President Bashar al-Assad should answer for his crimes before an international tribunal. LE PEN: In the wake of the chemical attack in Syria in April, a National Front spokesman said that it was not clear who had carried out the attack and that President Assad, despite everything, remained the only defence against jihadist group Islamic State. MACRON: An advocate of developing the EU further - giving the eurozone a budget and its own finance minister. He wants to mount a campaign to counter anti-EU sentiments and launch a rejuvenated European project. LE PEN: Has campaigned for France to leave the euro and has proposed a referendum in which French voters will have an opportunity to vote to leave the EU. Describing the euro as "dead", she wants France to go back to the franc with the single currency becoming a common currency for trade. However, she has said negotiations with the EU could take some time. MACRON: Eager to increase France's foreign aid budget; will review France's military bases in Africa; eager to help African nations stand more on their own two feet in defence terms. LE PEN: She, too, is eager to increase France's foreign aid budget but this is largely seen through the prism of security - a desire to stem the tide of immigration and terrorism, two things the FN tends to link together. MACRON: He would raise defence spending to the Nato benchmark of 2% of GDP by 2025. Nato remains the bedrock of French defence but he is eager to see a much more significant European defence dimension, not least due to some of the uncertainties surrounding the Atlantic Alliance prompted by President Donald Trump's comments. LE PEN: She has described Nato as an organisation whose reason for being - the Soviet threat - no longer exists. She would withdraw France from Nato's integrated military command. She says that she would increase French defence spending to 2% of GDP by 2018 and to 3% by the end of her five-year term. The foreign policy debate serves a wider purpose of acting as a kind of litmus test for the transformation of Marine Le Pen and the FN. She has invested a huge amount of time and effort to try to "de-toxify" the FN; to soften its image and to distance the party from its far-right roots. She has had some success, broadening the party's appeal and drawing upon a wider current of populist revolt against economic inequality and the status quo. Nonetheless, on occasions during the presidential campaign, the mask has slipped. Indeed it is in the area of foreign policy where Marine Le Pen's approach is closest to that of her father, FN founder Jean-Marie Le Pen. He was hostile to the EU, Nato and the US; a firm supporter of the Assad regime and, indeed, that of Saddam Hussein in Iraq as well. Foreign policy, of course, has never been the determining factor in any French presidential election but the conduct of foreign policy remains very much the president's reserved domain. He or she will have the dominant role in setting out France's approach to the world in the years ahead. The Texas Department of Public Safety and Waller County Jail have agreed the payout to relatives of Sandra Bland, says their attorney, Cannon Lambert. But the defendants' legal team said the settlement had not yet been finalised. Ms Bland killed herself in July 2015 three days after her arrest for a minor traffic offence, authorities said. The family lawyer said that under the settlement the county jail will step up staff training and inmate monitoring. "This is the beginning, not the end," he said, adding that Ms Bland's mother, Geneva Reed-Veal, had insisted jail reform be included in the settlement. "It's awesome," Ms Bland's mother, Geneva Reed-Veal, told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. "It's a victory for mothers across the country." Ms Reed-Veal said that as part of the settlement Waller County Jail will be required to have a 24-hour nurse on duty. Ms Bland died by asphyxiation after using a plastic bag to hang herself in her cell, authorities said. Her death was officially ruled a suicide. She was about to begin a new job in the Houston area when she was pulled over by a state trooper for failing to change lanes without signalling. A dashboard camera filmed the officer, Brian Encinia, arguing with Ms Bland, and threatening her with a stun gun. "I will light you up!" shouts Mr Encinia, who was later fired and charged for lying to authorities about the arrest. The death led to nationwide protests by activists from Black Lives Matter. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he deplored the deaths and stressed that UN facilities were "inviolable". The inquiry also found that three empty UN schools were used by Palestinian militants to store weapons, and that in two cases they likely fired from them. The 50-day conflict claimed the lives of more than 2,260 people. At least 2,189 were Palestinians, including more than 1,486 civilians, according to the UN. On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers were killed along with six civilians. In November, Mr Ban announced that an independent board of inquiry would look into 10 incidents at schools run by the UN agency for Palestine refugees, Unrwa, between 8 July and 26 August 2014. Both Israel and Hamas, the militant group that dominates Gaza, said they would co-operate with the probe headed by the retired Dutch general Patrick Cammaert. Although the board of inquiry's full 207-page report will remain private, the UN released a summary of its findings on Monday. In one incident, a girls' school was hit by 88 mortar rounds fired by the Israeli military, the summary said. Another girls' school was struck by an anti-tank projectile, while a third was hit by a missile. At a fourth girls' school, the inquiry found, "no prior warning had been given by the government of Israel of the firing of 155mm high explosive projectiles on, or in the surrounding area of the school". "It is a matter of the utmost gravity that those who looked to them for protection and who sought and were granted shelter there had their hopes and trust denied," Mr Ban wrote in a cover letter accompanying the summary. He also expressed dismay that Palestinian militant groups would put UN schools at risk by using them to hide arms. The report found that weapons were stored at three schools, although they were not being used as shelters at the time. The inquiry found that Palestinian militants had probably fired from two schools, which Mr Ban said was "unacceptable". "United Nations premises are inviolable and should be places of safety, particularly in a situation of armed conflict," he warned. "I will work with all concerned and spare no effort to ensure that such incidents will never be repeated." A spokesman for the Israeli foreign ministry, Emmanuel Nahshon, said in response: "All of the incidents attributed by the report to Israel have already been subject to thorough examinations, and criminal investigations have been launched where relevant." "Israel makes every effort to avoid harm to sensitive sites, in the face of terrorist groups who are committed not only to targeting Israeli civilians but also to using Palestinian civilians and UN facilities as shields for their terrorist activities." There was no immediate comment from Hamas or the Palestinian Authority. The Spanish giants have made a world-record £86m bid for Bale but Spurs, who have been linked with Roma's Erik Lamela, say no deal has been agreed. Spurs missed out on Brazil midfielder Willian, who joined Chelsea. And they are happy to wait over Bale's sale as it may trigger a series of deals which end up boosting rivals. Arsenal, for instance, have been linked with Real pair Karim Benzema and Angel Di Maria, and any potential deals for them may be affected by what happens with Bale. The transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on 2 September. Spurs have already missed out on former Anzhi Makhachkala attacker Willian, who joined Chelsea for £30m after he had already completed a medical at Tottenham. Andre Villas-Boas's side have been linked with Argentine forward Lamela, 21, and Chelsea's Juan Mata, although Blues boss Jose Mourinho says the Spanish playmaker is not for sale, despite leaving him out of the side that drew 0-0 with Manchester United on Monday. In addition to Real's offer for Bale, Tottenham have also received a separate bid for the Welshman. The identity of that club is not known but Manchester United have been linked with the player this summer. Meanwhile, Bale failed to report for training on Tuesday following a club-authorised break in Marbella. No reason has been given for his no-show. Real Madrid have made two different offers for Bale and are waiting to see whether Tottenham accept either one. It is believed that a stage, nicknamed the "Bale Box", has been erected at their Bernabeu ground to unveil Bale to the Spanish club's fans. Real Madrid's next home game will be on Sunday against Athletic Bilbao, the day before the end of the transfer window. Bale, who joined Spurs in a £10m deal from Southampton in 2007, was named player of the year by both the Professional Footballers' Association and Football Writers last season after scoring 26 goals for the White Hart Lane side. Madrid have already spent in excess of £50m this summer, bringing in Spanish midfielders Asier Illarramendi from Real Sociedad and Malaga's Isco for £34m and £23m respectively. Tina Donnelly issued the warning after it was revealed Welsh health boards have spent more than £190m on agency medical staff over the last four years. Tory Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar has written to the auditor general asking him to investigate. The Welsh government said health boards should address agency spending. The figures, obtained by the Welsh Conservatives through a Freedom of Information request, shows total health board expenditure on non-contracted hospital staff, including doctors and nurses, in Wales increased from £40m in 2011/12 to more than £71m in 2014/15. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board spent the most each year with 2014/15 reaching almost £30m, double what it spent in 2011/12. Over the same period the Powys Teaching Health Board, the smallest in Wales, saw its bill for agency staff increase from £170,000 to £635,000. All of the health boards said they have found recruiting new doctors and nurses difficult. Ms Donnelly said: "We have not been training sufficient nurses over the last number of years to meet the demands of the health care agenda so we do have to look at the workforce planning. "Part of the agency expenditure is that we haven't seen a pay increase for nurses apart from 1% which is coming this year. "Nurses are finding it really, really hard to cope so instead of going on a bank system within Wales they are now seeking to do their extra shifts with an agency because they pay more." Mr Millar said: "Cash-strapped health boards are squandering tens of millions of pounds each year on agency fees because of a failure by Welsh Labour government to address chronic staff shortages in the Welsh NHS. "Not only do hardworking doctors and nurses suffer when staffing levels are dangerously low, the quality of care can only be compromised by stretching resources to breaking point." A Welsh government spokesperson said: "We expect health boards and NHS trusts to address agency and locum spend via a number of different ways, however we must recognise that agency staff play an important role in the Welsh NHS. "The figures in this FOI represent a small percentage of the £6.7bn budget we spend on health and social services in Wales every year."

Richard Deakin, chief executive of Nats, said he was "not proud" of the disruption but defended the response and back-up plan. Expecting systems to be failure-proof was "unrealistic", he told the Commons Transport Committee. Nats has said airlines will get a "rebate" because of the disruption. Mr Deakin said 120 flights had been cancelled and 500 delayed in the chaos. A computer glitch at the national air traffic headquarters in Swanwick, Hampshire, caused a system failure affecting mainly Heathrow, Luton and Gatwick airports. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin described the problems as "unacceptable" in his evidence to the committee earlier this week. Mr Deakin was repeatedly pressed by the Labour MP Tom Harris on whether he agreed with that assessment. "I think for those passengers it was unacceptable and from our point of view, yes, we're not proud of what happened on Friday night but I think we are proud of how we responded to it," he answered. Mr Harris, a former transport minister, said Mr Deakin had come across as "incredibly complacent". "Your evidence so far has kind of given the impression that everything's fine..You seem to be suggesting that what happened Friday was a bit of a nuisance but you're ticking the box, you're taking a couple of hours out of your day to appear before us but after that it's fine," the MP said. Mr Deakin denied the accusation, saying a "huge amount of time" had been spent making sure systems were performing to their absolute ability. He said the computer glitch had been identified and fixed and that particular problem would not occur again. However, he could not rule out other problems in the future. "Any complex system will have failures in it. I think it's unrealistic to expect that a system such as Nats never has any reduction in capacity due to those failures," Mr Deakin said. "They are rare...but we should take into account that sometimes systems do fail which is why we have back-up systems." The Nats boss was also pressed over his pay package, confirming that he had received £1.05 million, including a bonus of £272,000, in the year to March 2014 - an increase of 46%. The bonus itself had been cut by 12%, he said, because of a previous air traffic control failure in December 2013. Mr Deakin was appearing with Nats operations managing director Martin Rolfe and Andrew Haines, chief executive of the Civil Aviation Authority, which has already announced that an independent inquiry will be held into last Friday's failure. Questioned about the independence of the inquiry, Mr Haines said it would be "highly independent". In a statement, Nats said it would suffer a "financial consequence" as a result of Friday's disruption. "Under the company's regulatory performance regime, customers will receive a rebate on charges in the future," it said in a statement. "The amount is being calculated and will be notified to customers in due course."

The boss of National Air Traffic Services has denied claims he was "complacent" over the flight chaos which hit 10,000 passengers on Friday.

Aerial views have highlighted the extent of damage on the line between Llandudno and Blaenau Ffestiniog, Network Rail said. A tree fell on the line and disturbed line-side vegetation on the rock face at Blaenau Ffestiniog when Storm Doris struck on Thursday 23 February. Clean-up and repairs began on Monday. The line had to be repaired last winter when flooding caused damage at 100 separate locations. Chris Howchin, route programme manager for Network Rail Wales, said: "We are working closely with our partners, Arriva Trains Wales, to keep passengers moving during the closure of the line, and a rail replacement bus service will be in operation until it reopens." A bus timetable has been published online operating Monday to Saturday.

A rail replacement bus service will continue "until further notice" as repair work continues on the storm-hit Conwy Valley line.

The 31-year-old was provisionally suspended by the Rugby Football Union on 28 January for failing a drugs test after Sale's game with Newcastle. He then appeared before a disciplinary panel and it was ruled he would not be allowed to play again until 27 May. The club have confirmed they will not be appealing against the decision. A statement on the Sale website says the club and player told the RFU panel that the stimulant entered Wihongi's body "without his knowledge and without any pre-meditated plan to gain an advantage". It continued: "It was demonstrated to the panel that the stimulant became present via a contaminated product that was available through the club's supplements programme. "When the product in question was supplied to the club it was issued with a batch test certificate that showed no traces of any banned substance. The ingredients of the product had previously been checked and all had been cleared. The club are frustrated and disappointed with the verdict given to a player who without his knowledge took a product that was wrongly contaminated. "Sale Sharks would like to place on record our full support for the UK Anti-Doping Testing Programme. There is no place in sport for drug cheats and the penalties enforced for those that attempt to gain an advantage by using banned substances are correct and appropriate. "However the club are frustrated and disappointed with the verdict given to a player who without his knowledge took a product that was wrongly contaminated." Former Oyonnax front-rower Wihongi, who was born in New Zealand but is qualified to play for France on residential grounds, joined the Premiership side last summer from Bourgoin on a two-year deal. He made his debut on the opening day of the season against Newcastle and went on to make 10 appearances before failing the drugs test after the reverse fixture against Falcons on 7 January. Under the terms of his ban, which runs from the date of his provisional suspension, Wihongi is not able to participate in playing, training, coaching, officiating, selection, team management, administration or promotion of the game. Commenting on Wihongi's suspension, Rugby Players' Association chief executive Damian Hopley says there is an inconsistency of punishments handed out to players: "The RPA fully endorses the fight against doping in all forms of sport and actively promotes strong anti-doping messages to all of our members. "But we are extremely concerned at the inconsistency concerning the recent punishments handed out to players who have unknowingly taken these contaminated substances containing the stimulant methylhexaneamine. "The fact that Karena was given the supplement at half-time in a game with the tacit understanding that the substances were certified as clean, seems to have had no impact whatsoever in the sentence that was subsequently passed. "While we fully accept that all athletes are ultimately responsible for whatever supplements they ingest, the RPA will be taking up this matter with the relevant national and international authorities as we believe this inconsistency and the lack of empathy shown in this case is wholly unacceptable in professional sport." Roger Davies, who farms near Llanwrtyd Wells, discovered two dead ewes on 10 September. A further three dead ewes have also been found on the farm, which he believes have also been targeted. Meanwhile, two sheep were found seriously injured on Wednesday although one is expected to recover. Dyfed-Powys Police have been informed. Mr Davies said a neighbour saw two men wearing camouflage clothing, armed with a crossbow, in a Forestry Commission picnic site on the weekend of the 8 and 9 September. The pair had a dark coloured tent but there was no sign of a vehicle, he added. One of the dead sheep found on 10 September had been hit by a crossbow bolt in the stomach, the other had been struck in the head. Mr Davies, who farms at Traws Nant on the banks of Llyn Brianne, believes they were killed over the weekend of 8 and 9 September. One of the sheep found injured on Wednesday is expected to recover after treatment, but the second is expected to be put down. Mr Davies is concerned that whoever has carried out the crossbow shootings is either still in the area or has returned more than once. He has urged people to be vigilant and to look for signs of suspicious activity. "It's devastating in as much as it's totally unnecessary," he said. "It's not even though they're doing it for food, which is illegal but at least I could understand it." He said it appeared they were being targeted "for sick reasons". Inspector Andy Reed of Dyfed-Powys Police said the force has received a report from a concerned farmer. "Appropriate advice has been given and I would ask anyone who has seen anything suspicious in the area that they think we should know about to please contact us on 101," he said. But John Souttar is out after suffering a suspected ruptured Achilles and Prince Buaben has a groin injury. Rangers will be without suspended Michael O'Halloran, who begins a two-game ban, but Danny Wilson and Lee Hodson return from injury. New goalkeeper Jak Alnwick is available after signing from Port Vale on Monday. But Joe Garner, Jordan Rossiter and Niko Kranjcar remain out for Mark Warburton's side. For the hosts, Rory Currie is ill, while Andraz Struna and Krystian Nowak are doubts and Faycal Rherras and Arnaud Djoum are on Africa Cup of Nations duty. Hearts head coach Ian Cathro: "I feel we're in a better position but we have a lot of work ahead of us. "It's right to say we have had a difficult period but it will be us who resolves that." Rangers manager Mark Warburton: "We go into the game on the back of a very good performance [at Motherwell], second half especially, and we have to take that belief into the game, recognise the challenge and deliver the performance. "We are not sure what team we face but we know they will be well organised by Ian [Cathro] and Austin [McPhee, assistant] and we have to expect a very tough challenge." Ryan Sessegnon put the hosts ahead when he latched on to Sone Aluko's right-wing cross to fire home in the box. Cardiff levelled with Joe Ralls' long-range drive before Anthony Pilkington scored from 20 yards to put the visitors into the lead. However, Fulham fought back and were rewarded late on when McDonald equalised with a long-range strike. Sixteen-year-old defender Sessegnon made an instant impact just before the break, as he scored two minutes after coming on for Floyd Ayite, who was forced off through injury. Just four days after his full senior debut in Fulham's 1-1 draw against Leeds, Sessegnon became the first player born in 2000 to score in the Championship. In an entertaining second half, Cardiff could have been out of sight after Pilkington's fine effort as Peter Whittingham hit the woodwork from a free-kick. But McDonald scored with his first goal for Fulham since his summer move from Wolves to rescue a point for the hosts. Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic: "Ryan can be good for us. He made a great impact for us. "He is a real winner and he is just 16 years and three months. He is a real young player. "I'm sure in the future he can be big part of my squad and help us. He can play in different positions." Cardiff manager Paul Trollope: "It was a topsy turvy game. We were disappointed with the first half. "We were passive with and without the ball. We didn't play to our capabilities but we turned it around. Credit must go to the players. They knew they were better than they had showed. "I'm pleased with the two goals, they were fantastic strikes, but I was disappointed not to have taken the three points as we led going into the 86th minute." Match ends, Fulham 2, Cardiff City 2.

The game was abandoned after 48 minutes at 0-0 following a pitch invasion by hundreds of protesting home fans. It was held up for more than an hour before being called off. The relegated Seasiders remain bottom of the Championship while the Terriers stay 16th finishing on 55 points. As well as deciding on a verdict for the charge, a Football Disciplinary Committee will also be asked to consider compensation for Huddersfield and ticket refunds to supporters. "The board took the view that the 0-0 score line that stood at the time of the game's abandonment should be officially recorded as the final result of the match, as it believes that league points should always be earned on the field of play," said a statement. Before the match, 2,000 Blackpool fans protested outside the ground against the club's owners, the Oyston family. Strategic director for resources Roger Kershaw was suspended in 2014 but an email leaked to BBC Derby has revealed he has been sacked. The council has now confirmed the move but also said Mr Kershaw had appealed against it. The authority has again refused to clarify why he faced disciplinary action in the first place. The email from Labour council leader Ranjit Banwait said: "The strategic director for resources has been suspended and, following the IDC meeting on March 28, 2015, has now been summarily dismissed." Acting chief executive Paul Robinson had overseen a senior management restructuring and should be appointed the "newly defined" chief executive - which includes the duties of Mr Kershaw's post - on a permanent basis, the email revealed. The council has not commented further but opposition groups have criticised the idea of only having one candidate for the chief executive role. Conservative leader Philip Hickson said the proposed appointment was "both inappropriate and highly questionable". He said: "It should be advertised and a selection made on a fair and open competitive basis. It is potentially illegal." Enda Kenny said he would back such a proposal if it emerged from the all-party talks. The current talks are being chaired by the British and Irish governments. Mr Kenny was responding to a suggestion from Micheal Martin, the leader of the main opposition party, Fianna Fail. The Sinn Fein leader, Gerry Adams, said his party was "totally and absolutely opposed to criminality of all kinds". Mr Adams added that he and other senior Sinn Fein members had paid a price for such opposition by having their homes targeted and their lives threatened. He said Sinn Fein was was accountable to one grouping only - the electorate, and not to any other organisation. Yesterday's report into paramilitarism quoted IRA members as believing that the Provisional IRA Army Council oversees Sinn Fein's political strategy. The American car giant announced this week it planned to make 125,000 new Dragon engines a year instead of 250,000 from 2018. It blamed changes in global demand. Unite has written to workers saying "clearly" the employment level could not be sustained on projected levels. The engine plant currently makes 250,000 engines a year for Jaguar Land Rover but that will end in 2018. The deal to produce the new engine has been scaled back from a £181m investment to £100m. Andy Richards, Unite's Wales secretary, said the union had been aware a shortfall in production was likely earlier this year and had been looking for answers. Unite said it had three questions for Ford: Mr Richards, a convenor at the plant in the 1980s and 1990s, said he had witnessed "the closure of a great many plants by Ford" which had followed a reduction of investment and criticism of the workforce. "Unite the union will never roll over and quietly accept the same fate for Bridgend," he told workers in the letter. Mr Richards told BBC Wales he suspected decisions were not being made on "basic industrial efficiency logic" and were more about company politics, but the union was prepared for a fight if necessary. "When I started there were 24 Ford plant in Britain. In my view, they're attempting to pull out of Britain," he said. "It's arguable they're looking to reduce their Ford Europe operations, which will affect places like Cologne too. I think this is more to do with Ford's global repositioning strategy, which seems to favour China and Russia. "As far as we're concerned we're concentrating on our members' jobs in Wales." Ford said on Tuesday it did not plan job losses among the 1,850 workforce and said it still had a "substantial commitment" to the plant. The body of Elsie Frost was found near a tunnel under a railway line in Wakefield on 9 October 1965. She had been stabbed several times. A man, 79, who was re-arrested earlier this week on the suspicion of her murder has been granted police bail. West Yorkshire Police is sending a file of evidence to the CPS. Police have been questioning the man after arresting him for a second time. He is understood to be Peter Pickering and was arrested near Newbury, Berkshire, on Monday. He has also been questioned about allegations of an unconnected kidnap and rape in 1972. After granting him police bail on Thursday evening, Det Supt Nick Wallen said officers were sending a file to the CPS for it to consider charges of kidnap, rape and murder. The breaches were first publicised by security blogger Brian Krebs on Monday. The companies denied their classified networks had been infiltrated. However, the team that discovered the incidents has given the BBC access to an intelligence report, which indicates hundreds of files were indeed copied. The documents, which were stolen over a period of many months, relate to: Cyber Engineering Services (CyberESI) tracked the activities of the hackers over eight months between 2011 and 2012. It said the data taken by the hackers suggested they had been after intelligence relating to Iron Dome. Iron Dome is a complex anti-missile defence system, which can intercept and destroy rockets and shells. The technology has been widely credited with preventing the deaths of many Israeli civilians during the ongoing conflict with militants from Gaza. CyberESI's report, compiled in 2013, also indicates the attacks were made using highly sophisticated tools resembling those used by Chinese hackers to infiltrate US defence firms - an attack in which the Chinese government denies any involvement. "The data collected makes strong indications that the actors behind this attack originated from China," it says. "This assertion is based on the activity during the past year that Cyber Engineering Services has observed on compromised networks, as well as the geo-location of the IP [internet protocol] addresses retrieving the exfiltrated data." "The nature of exfiltrated data and the industry that these companies are involved in suggests that the Chinese hackers were after information related to Israel's all-weather air defence system called Iron Dome." CyberESI, which operates out of Maryland in the US, monitored data being stolen from two leading Israeli defence contractors: A spokeswoman for IAI initially confirmed to Mr Krebs the attack had taken place and been "reported to the appropriate authorities". However IAI subsequently said the "information reported regarding the leakage of sensitive information is incorrect" and only its "civilian non-classified" network had been hacked. A spokesman for Rafael said the company did "not recall such an incident". But the report seen by the BBC suggests sensitive data was taken from IAI and that Rafael's network was compromised, with hackers able to deactivate security software and harvest authentication data, including passwords. In total, the report says, gigabytes of data were stolen from the Israeli companies, including: Some of the stolen technical documents are said by CyberESI to have contained intellectual property data and were marked as being controlled by US government International Traffic in Arms (ITAR) regulations. Both IAI and Rafael were heavily involved in developing the Iron Dome missile defence system, which allows Israel to intercept rockets fired by Hamas from the Gaza Strip. The US, which already collaborates with Israeli firms over Arrow III - jointly designed by IAI and Boeing, now wants to invest in future versions of Iron Dome technologies. In May 2013, the Pentagon accused China of carrying out a sophisticated cyber-spying campaign on US diplomatic, economic and defence organisations. The raid on the Israeli companies bore similar characteristics, experts at CyberESI told the BBC, using tools that were "known to originate from" China. The attacks were part of an advanced persistent threat (APT) - a form of highly organised and targeted hacking. APTs have been used for industrial espionage in the past and tend to use sophisticated methods not easily available to the vast majority of cyber-thieves. CyberESI's report also featured a third Israeli company, Elisra, originally a US company and now a leading supplier to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Elisra, which is not involved in Iron Dome, appears to have been comprehensively infiltrated by the hackers, who stole data from folders named "Military Spacs" and "UAV" and infiltrated the email accounts belonging to the chief executive and several senior managers. The attackers also stole passwords and sign-in details, allowing them to roam around the networks undetected. Elisra did not respond to a BBC request for comment. In January 2014, another security company reported that 15 Israeli defence computers had been compromised via a malicious email attachment. But with other EU countries boosting border controls, the long journey to a new life in Germany - or another preferred destination - has become even more complicated. Meanwhile European governments are rushing to cope with the huge number of people on the move. Crowds found themselves blocked at Serbia's border with Hungary, after the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban completed a razor-wire fence to stem the influx. Large numbers have now crossed into Croatia instead, which is in turn sending them on to Hungary and Slovenia. Slovenia is the easiest next step for many of the migrants, according to Martijn Pluim of the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). Many migrants are heading that way, although Croatia has also said it will "force" Hungary to accept migrants by sending groups to the two countries' common border. Going east through Romania is an option, he says. But it is likely to lead people back into Hungary, which has pledged to build a new fence on its Romanian border. Crossing into Bosnia is more difficult, and only a detour. In comparison, the road connection between the capitals of Serbia and Croatia - Belgrade and Zagreb - is good. However, Croatia's closure of many crossings has led to congestion on this route. Many migrants entering Croatia are walking around road crossings anyway. The authorities in Croatia, which is not in the passport-free Schengen zone, had initially said they were ready to receive the migrants or "direct" them to where they want to go. Later they said they were overwhelmed and would only move people on. But there are risks that Slovenia or others members of the EU's Schengen area will decide they need to put more controls on borders. Slovenia has already tightened security and on Friday pepper sprayed a group of migrants trying to cross. So migrants could increasingly look to other options. Small numbers have begun travelling from Greece to Albania then Italy by boat, according to reports. But the journey across the sea - popular with Albanians crossing to Italy in the 1990s - is risky, with rough waters. More than 2,600 migrants, including three-year-old Alan Kurdi, have drowned trying to cross the Mediterranean since January this year, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Thousands of migrants at Europe's southern frontier now appear to be trying to avoid the dangerous maritime route between Turkey and Greece, and get in by walking to the Turkish border town of Edirne. There are also unconfirmed reports of Syrians detained in Odessa in southern Ukraine, according to Mr Pluim. They are believed to have taken a boat from Turkey across the Black Sea. At the continent's northern tip, small numbers of people are believed to have crossed from Russia into Norway. And there are reports of people walking along the Baltic coast to Finland, according to Elizabeth Collett, of the Migration Policy Institute (MPI). "This demonstrates the extreme lengths people are willing to go to," she added. Experts say the main assistance migrants ask for when they arrive at junctions in their journey is information. "They keep asking where can they go, where can they go for protection," said Melita Sunjic, spokeswoman for the UN's refugee agency UNHCR. Many are increasingly turning to smartphones and social networks such as Whatsapp and Facebook to share advice on routes. Getting a local Sim card or connecting to wireless internet allows the migrants to use GPS maps, search engines and booking sites. It is a changing dynamic that has apparently taken some observers by surprise. But it has also allowed well-connected migrants to avoid the services of people smugglers. "The majority of people have used at one stage the service of a smuggler - from Turkey to a Greek island for instance," says Mr Pluim of the ICMPD. "But for the most part of the trip they can do it on their own." The large number of people heading for the European Union is expected to continue, with refugees still fleeing conflicts in countries such as Syria and Afghanistan. But the political climate and the weather in the continent are more changeable. The UN children's charity, Unicef, has announced it is increasing help for women and children at reception centres in Serbia and Macedonia, amid fears people could become stranded. "As winter is approaching fast, the immediate needs for protection and care of children and pregnant women require urgent action," it said in a statement. Whereas bad weather is likely to deter people from dangerous sea crossings, the number of migrants travelling by land is not expected to decrease. However, the people arriving at Europe's borders may differ. Many of those so far have come from educated and well-off backgrounds, Mr Pluim says, but more and more migrants are expected to come from poorer families. They will have fewer resources to spend on safe transport and shelter. "People will arrive in a more destitute situation, but also when the weather isn't good," he says. And there are concerns that countries such as Macedonia, Serbia and Croatia may not be prepared enough to cope. The word migrant is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "one who moves, either temporarily or permanently, from one place, area, or country of residence to another". A refugee is, according to the 1951 Refugee Convention, any person who "owing to a well-founded fear" of persecution is outside their country of nationality and "unable" or "unwilling" to seek the protection of that country. To gain the status, one has to go through the legal process of claiming asylum. The word migrant has traditionally been considered a neutral term, but some criticise the BBC and other media for using a word they say implies something voluntary, and should not be applied to people fleeing danger. Battle over words to describe migrants The Spanish 14-time Grand Slam champion injured his right wrist while practising in Mallorca in late July and was forced to miss the US Open. Seeded second, he will face France's Richard Gasquet in the first round. Media playback is not supported on this device "I feel much better, I am in good shape. I am trying to forget the wrist," said 28-year-old Nadal. "Every time when I come back after an injury I have an extra motivation." Nadal's last competitive match was a fourth-round defeat by Australian Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon. Although the wrist is not 100% healed, he said "the injury is not limiting" his ability to compete. He added: "I just feel the wrist a little bit when I am starting, when I start to play every day, but then it disappears." World number one Novak Djokovic is top seed in Beijing where Britain's Andy Murray will also compete. The tournament begins on Monday. Historic structures across the country, including ancient mosques, government buildings and castles show signs of destruction - with some reduced to rubble, researchers from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) say. The only site that appears to remain relatively unscathed is the ancient city of Damascus. "From our contacts and sources in Syria, we knew that there was damage to World Heritage sites," says Brian Daniels, of the University of Pennsylvania Museum, which partnered in the research. "But this report surprised us by revealing just how extensive the destruction actually is." Some of the most extensive damage is in Aleppo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, the satellite image analysis reveals. Damage to Aleppo's Great Mosque The northern Syrian city, which dates back to 2,000BC, has seen some of the heaviest fighting of the civil war. Images captured in 2011 and 2014 reveal damage to the city's Great Mosque - one of Aleppo's most famous cultural sites. Its 50m-tall Seljuk minaret, dating from 1095 and considered one of the most important monuments of medieval Syria, collapsed as a result of shelling in March 2013 (red arrow). There are also two large craters along the mosque's eastern wall (blue arrows). Damage south of citadel There is also significant damage to the south of Aleppo's citadel, the location of many historical government buildings. Between December 2011 and August 2014, the city's Khusriwiye Mosque was demolished (green arrow) and the Grand Serail - the former seat of the Aleppo governor - was heavily damaged (orange arrow). The dome of the 15th Century Hammam Yalbougha an-Nasry - one of Syria's finest bathhouses - has also been destroyed (purple arrow). The ancient city of Bosra, located in the southern Daara governorate, contains ruined buildings from the Roman, Byzantine, and early Islamic periods. Between October 2009 and April 2014, a number of probable shell craters appeared within the site, including a hole in the roof of the Al-Omari Mosque. Palmyra's Greco-Roman and Persian ruins, located in the middle of the Syrian desert, were one of Syria's main tourist attractions before the conflict. Imagery analysis has revealed how the site and its surrounding area - including its Roman theatre - have suffered from the effects of shelling, activity by snipers as well as the presence of rocket launchers and tanks. There are also persistent reports of looting. New roads can be seen across the northern area of the site as well excavated fortifications (pink arrows), providing cover for military vehicles (yellow arrows). The ancient sites of northern Syria, comprising eight parks and a total of 40 villages, have suffered due to their close proximity to a key Turkish border crossing, used as the entry point for supplies. A number of Syrians who have been forced from their homes are also living in and among the ruins. Analysis of satellite images of the Jebel Barisha park show the creation of three compounds: two within the park boundaries and one just outside. They appear to have a military function, according to the AAAS. The castle of Crac des Chevaliers, dating back to the 11th Century, has been used as a hideout by rebel gunmen and has been repeatedly shelled by government forces. Analysis of satellite images of the site, west of Homs in central Syria, reveals damage to the castle's south-east tower. There are also craters to the north. All of Syria's six World Heritage sites are on Unesco's list of World Heritage in Danger, maintained by its World Heritage Center. Corine Wegener, cultural heritage preservation officer for the US Smithsonian Institution, said Syria required support from the international community to help "mitigate and prevent damage to cultural heritage" amidst the conflict.

The move follows years of pressure from teachers, parents and educationalists opposed to putting young pupils through high stakes national Sats tests. The statutory tests in English, maths and spelling and grammar, are used to monitor schools' progress. The Department for Education is proposing a new assessment for pupils when they first start school instead. This should be done in such a way that pupils do not realise they are being assessed, the DfE said. The results will be used to measure progress that pupils have made by the time they leave primary school aged 11. Education Secretary Justine Greening said: "The government has reformed the primary school system to make sure children can master the basics of literacy and numeracy so they get the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in later life. "Now we want to build on that by developing a stable assessment system that helps children learn, while freeing up teachers to do what they do best - supporting children to fulfil their potential." The possibility that the controversial tests sat by children in Year 2 could be axed will be welcomed by many who argue they have been putting undue pressure on very young children. The Let Kids Be Kids campaign said in a statement: "A massive cheer from us all here. A massive well done to all of you who have piled the pressure on and made this happen... "A year ago we were planning the May 3 Kids' Strike and look how far we have come!" The statement added: "Sadly tarnished by a small dose of healthy cynicism about the timing though... they've had all year announce this and have chosen now... why?!" The statutory testing of young children is one of the most controversial areas in England's education system. Parents want to know how their children are doing, but don't want to see them stressed out in the process. But teachers, heads, academics and parents have been speaking with one voice on the issue for some time. And the voice that said seven was too young to sit formal tests crescendoed last year, when new, much tougher Sats were introduced to assess the new, much tougher primary curriculum. Parents complained their children were getting stressed out, and some even took them out of school on test days in protest. The government is clear it still needs to monitor how schools are performing. And it hopes a new light-tough assessment of children's ability when they begin school could provide the starting point for measuring progress. But unless it gets that test right, it may find the new assessment becomes as unpopular as the last. Teachers often complain that children in England are more frequently tested than those in the rest of Europe. The new assessment - probably when children start Reception - is also likely to replace the Early Years Foundation Stage profile, which currently comes at the end of that school year. It is understood that the National Association of Head Teachers has worked closely with the Department for Education on the planned changes which will now go out to consultation for 12 weeks. This year's tests are expected to go ahead as planned, the DfE said. General Secretary Russell Hobby said he appreciated the engagement of the Secretary of State with the concerns of school leaders. "The possibility of ending Key Stage 1 Sats is good news. "This creates the time and space in a pupil's primary years for teachers to focus on teaching rather than on high stakes assessment. "It will properly reward early intervention and it will reduce workload. "Overall, minimising the number of high stakes tests is the right way to go. This will help every school to deliver a rich educational experience for all children." He said that the government had listened to many of the principles and recommendations in his union's report on assessment. "There's more to be accomplished but we've made good progress from where we were a year ago," he added. Association of Teachers and Lecturers general secretary Dr Mary Bousted said: "We have long campaigned for an end to national testing for all primary school children, and we are pleased that the government appears, finally, to be listening." But she added new baseline assessments could disrupt the start of school, when young children needed to feel settled not judged. National Union of Teachers general secretary Kevin Courtney said: "Our current primary assessment system is broken. "Almost 50% of 11-year-olds were labelled failures last year as a result of badly designed and poorly implemented tests. "Our members want a system that supports children to achieve their potential, gives useful information to parents and teachers and does not narrow the school curriculum." Last year, hundreds of parents protested against the tests by taking their children out of school in some areas. And primary school assessment was beset with difficulties after a number of papers were accidentally published and teachers complained of a lack of information on test levels. Last autumn, Education Secretary Justine Greening said she would take steps to simplify the school assessment system. She also pledged that no new national tests or assessments would be introduced before the 2018/19 academic year. The government would look at the best starting point to measure children's progress in primary schools, she said, as well as the role of teacher assessment. Mr Hobby also welcomed plans to allow a little leeway in the marking of writing assessments, and to look at the balance between the creative and technical aspects of writing. With an economic recovery in full swing, unemployment falling and real wages finally perking up, the Conservatives had a powerful and optimistic message to sell. However much Labour supporters spat about him, David Cameron was a well-liked leader, with a hefty incumbency advantage. And from the left you can expect much vitriol to be poured on to the Tory press, much of which abandoned all and any pretence of objectivity and walked through the campaign hand-in-hand with Conservative party HQ. Why can Labour take comfort from any of the above? Because another time the economy may not be so ruddy, the electorate may be tired of a Conservative leader, the press may be less influential or more biddable. But it is, to say the least, scant comfort. Step back from the night and the campaign and the structural challenge for Labour that emerges from this night is astonishing. Labour is now brutally squeezed geographically and ideologically; Scotland is solidly SNP yellow; the south of England, bar London, pretty solidly Conservative blue. To lean left so as to appeal to former supporters in Scotland would imperil what remains of the centre-ground supporters who were so crucial to the victories under Tony Blair. Tony Blair's Labour Party won in England when it occupied the centre ground. He was, of course, aided by a staggeringly inept Conservative opposition. The appeal to those who wanted to get ahead, as well as those who traditionally voted Labour, made Blair's Labour seem like the natural party of government. Labour has to rediscover that magic potion. But to chase after the 'New' Labour voters of southern England may only alienate further Scottish voters clearly deeply unhappy with the way the Blairite party developed. Given the scale and nature of the defeat in Scotland, the temptation for Labour must be to politically abandon its former fiefdom so as to concentrate on re-taking English seats. But it would be a brutal political amputation. There is (even) more bad news for Labour. Throughout the campaign Labour had the upper hand on the ground. The Conservative party is shrunken at the roots, unable to mobilise the numbers for street-by-street campaigning. The so-called 'ground-war' was dominated by Labour, and voters in marginal constituencies reported much more contact with Labour activists than with Conservative counterparts. And it appears to have made no difference at all. As Labour unveiled policy after policy, the Conservatives stuck rigidly to their two messages - that the economy was safe only in their hands, and that Labour would be held to ransom by the SNP. In this "air-war", assisted by the pounding guns of Tory-supporting newspapers, the Conservatives triumphed, and all the leaflets and door-knocking in the world appear to have achieved nothing. The defeat in 1992 led - eventually - to a very different Labour party; a party that cast aside its old politics, and reinvented its campaign machine. That kind of reappraisal again faces an exhausted party. Against the backdrop of swirling nationalism, it is for Labour's supporters a depressing and daunting task. Carmarthenshire council said the warm weather sparked a boom of the creatures on Cefn Sidan beach. Numbers have grown in recent years because of mild winters allowing plankton to thrive. About 50 were also spotted at Burry Port harbour on Saturday. Barrel jellyfish, which can reach 35in (89cm) in diameter, are harmless to humans but beachgoers are advised not to touch them. Rory Dickinson, the council's countryside and parks manager, said it was likely the tide would take the jellyfish back out to sea. "They're generally harmless, lead amazing lives and are a vital part of our wildlife," he said. Sharrouf left Sydney in 2013 to join the so-called Islamic State. His wife Tara Nettleton and their five young children followed. Photos of their son holding a Syrian soldier's severed head made headlines after they were published last year. Sharrouf is believed to have been killed in a drone strike in June 2015. Ms Nettleton died in September after complications from surgery for pre-existing appendicitis, reports say. According to the reports, Tara Nettleton's mother Karen was only recently informed. Karen Nettleton's lawyer said she was desperate to get her five grandchildren and one great-grandchild out of Syria, and was pleading for the Australian Government to help bring them home. "On my own behalf and on her behalf, I request [they] do everything that they possibly can to get those children away from danger and to get them out and bring them home," her lawyer Charles Waterstreet told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. "Tara was a very young girl when she married, [and] now the grandchildren and a young baby are left without anyone to look after them." Sharrouf's teenage daughter, 14, married his friend Mohamed Elomar, also reportedly killed. She is now believed to be the mother of a baby girl. Speaking to Australian media on Thursday, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton described the case as "a very complicated mess". "Ultimately the government's clear objective is to keep the Australian public safe, and we'd have to look at the individual circumstances to see what kids may have been through, what they've been exposed to, whether or not later in life they'd pose a threat," he said. Media playback is not supported on this device Goals from substitutes Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellaini helped the Red Devils to victory on Saturday. They have a two-point lead over Huddersfield and Manchester City going into the international break. "There is a difference in the quality of our football," said Mourinho. Ibrahimovic will give us extra quality in the second half of the season "The team is playing very well - they are very confident and are playing great football. I like my team very much. Three matches and nine points is nothing new for us, because last season it was three matches and nine points." United, who had 22 efforts on goal against Leicester, had a great chance to take the lead in the 53rd minute, but Romelu Lukaku had his penalty saved by Kasper Schmeichel. However, Rashford's 70th-minute shot and Fellaini's close-range effort 12 minutes later ensured United continued their winning run. Mourinho added: "We played very well. The result was open at 0-0 and it was obviously very difficult. The blue wall was very well organised and I always give credit to that, but we kept calm and kept control. "After missing the penalty the team remained confident and we deserved it. If I had to choose a word to describe my team, it would be 'solid'." Mourinho's attack should be bolstered later in the campaign by the return of striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who signed a new one-year deal on Thursday. The Swede helped United to the EFL Cup and Europa League titles earlier this year but was released in the summer. Ibrahimovic is recovering from knee surgery, but Mourinho added: "He will be back in January. "When the market is open and people are spending money, we won't. But we get a player who was fundamental for us last season. "He comes to give us extra quality in the second half of the season." Kane Balogun, 14, from Birmingham, died after the crash at the junction of Stetchford Road and Beaufort Avenue, Hodge Hill, on Friday night. A 26-year-old man was arrested by West Midlands Police on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, and has since been bailed. In a statement Kane's family said they are "devastated" by his death. Anyone who witnessed or has any information on the crash is urged to call West Midlands Police on 101. Nala, a seven-year-old husky, became stranded atop the property in Boldmere, Birmingham on Friday afternoon. It is believed Nala might have got out of the skylight window and on to the roof after climbing on furniture in the loft of the house. A firefighter "calmed her down with a few slices of ham", before a lead was attached and she was guided back inside the house with help from her owner. A West Midlands Fire Service spokesman said: "She got a little bit of fuss after." He said the rescue on Halton Road took about 10 minutes because "obviously she was quite nervous". The fire service did not come out of the skylight because she might have jumped off the roof, the spokesman added. Perry Barr Fire tweeted: "It's not just cats in trees we save. We also save dogs on roofs." Dagmara Przybysz, 16, died at Pool Academy near Redruth in May last year. School pastoral manager Marie Exelby opened the main door to the toilets where Dagmara was later found hanged, but "didn't see anything". The inquest was also told that since Dagmara's death every pupil in the school has been given a search-enabled iPad that shows their location. More on this and other stories for Cornwall The hearing at Truro's Coroner's Court heard Dagmara was being bullied and subjected to racist taunts including "stupid Pole" and "go back to your own country". On 17 May 2016, after receiving a radio call to look for another pupil, pastoral manager Marie Exelby opened the door to the toilets where Dagmara was later found hanged but "didn't see anything" as she had not gone far enough in to see if all the cubicles were open or shut. This search was just before 13:00 BST - about 45 minutes after Dagmara had gone in to the toilets and about 35 minutes before the alarm was raised about her. Devon and Cornwall Police said CCTV footage from the school showed Dagmara's body was not found for more than 90 minutes, despite the manager checking the toilet block. School co-ordinator Paula Hosking told the inquest Dagmara was found after two pupils raised the alarm about a student being in the toilet for a long time. She said she could see shoes under the cubicle door, but there was no response when she asked if anyone was there. When she looked over the cubicle door she saw Dagmara hanging and staff broke down the door. A 999 call was made, but Ms Hosking, who did not make the call herself, said no CPR was attempted by school staff despite advice from the ambulance service. "Paramedics asked us to carry out CPR while they were on their way," she said. "We knew Dagmara had died and decided not to carry out CPR. We knew it was all too late." Christopher Rogers from South Western Ambulance Service Trust said he met with the school and contacted Ofsted to find out the guidance currently in place. As a result, he created a document entitled 'Ringing 999 for an ambulance: Guide for Education' which was sent to all Cornwall schools in September. Assistant principal Lisette Neesham told the inquest that radios are no longer used by staff as all have mobile phones, and pupils have been issued with an iPad "with the student location search engaged". Changes have also been made to the school's system of recording pupils absent from lessons and the procedure for looking for them. Dagmara, who lived with her parents and younger sister in Redruth after the family moved from Poland in 2009, had won a place at Truro College to study photography. The inquest heard Dagmara had confided to both her parents, Jedrzej and Ewelina Przybysz, and boyfriend Lewis Simpson that she was being bullied because she was Polish. However, the school's pastoral support worker Susan Kent said to the best of her knowledge Dagmara had "never mentioned any problems with racism to me or any other person at school". She added Dagmara had felt under pressure from her parents to do well at school. Zelma Hill, Pool Academy's principal, described Dagmara as a "beautiful, bright and creative" student who had a promising future ahead of her. The day before her death, Dagmara injured her hand by punching a wall after becoming angry because some girls were laughing at her. The inquest continues. Several players are suffering from the illness, according to a statement on the National Rugby League website. However, the afflicted players are expected to have fully recovered in time for Saturday's final against New Zealand in Wellington. "I think there are about four or five blokes [affected] this morning," team member Greg Bird told Sky Sports Radio. Bird said back-rower Beau Scott probably would not play this weekend because of a hamstring injury he suffered playing against England earlier this month. Bird said the Kangaroos needed to play "smarter" if they were to beat their Kiwi rivals. "It was a little erratic in game one. The combinations have been thought out a little bit better now and hopefully we can get a win." The Kangaroos easily beat Samoa last weekend in Wollongong, with the island team providing little resistance to the Kangaroos' attacking play. 25 October: England 32-26 Samoa 25 October: Australia 12-30 New Zealand 1 November: New Zealand 14-12 Samoa 2 November: Australia 16-12 England 8 November: New Zealand 16-14 England 9 November: Australia 44-18 Samoa 15 November: Final (Wellington, New Zealand) The support in Communist Party paper People's Daily comes as student activists threaten to occupy government buildings if Mr Leung does not resign. Police and government have again called on protesters to disperse. The protesters are angry at China's plan to vet candidates for polls in 2017, saying they want full democracy. On Wednesday China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi also warned against "illegal" protests and foreign interference. The People's Daily is the Chinese Communist Party's official newspaper. In a front-page editorial on Thursday, it praised Mr Leung's handling of the situation so far. "The central government is full of confidence in Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying [CY Leung], and is completely satisfied with his performance," it said. Beijing "will thus continue to strongly support Mr Leung's leadership of Hong Kong's legal administration as well as the police's handling of illegal activities", it added. People's Daily also carried on its website a comment piece from another newspaper which stated: "Hong Kong has for many years enjoyed peace and harmony. It now sees the emergence of this embarrassing chaos, and the root cause lies with a few people who are disrespecting the law." "Chaos denies Hong Kong residents their prosperity, goes against their wishes, and is not what all Chinese people wish to see or what we can tolerate." Beijing's support of Mr Leung follows repeated calls by protesters for his resignation. The senior Chinese leadership has set out clear limits on who can run for the position of chief executive, Hong Kong's top leader, in 2017. The rules make it virtually impossible for anyone not trusted by the Chinese government to stand for election. As a result, the protesters accuse Beijing of reneging on decades of vows to give Hong Kong people genuine democracy. But although there is widespread anger that Beijing may have violated the spirit of the agreements it has made, there is intense debate over whether it has violated the letter of the law. Read more: Did China go back on its promises? Overnight, several thousand protesters massed outside his office, where there was a significant police presence. Large numbers of protesters came out on to the streets on Sunday, when supporters of the Occupy Central pro-democracy movement joined student demonstrations. More people joined after police used tear gas on protesters. Since then, protesters have been occupying at least three sites in the territory, in the Central business district, Causeway Bay and Mong Kok. A fourth site opened up at Canton Road on Wednesday. Lester Shum, the vice-secretary of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, has called on Mr Leung to resign by Thursday night. "Otherwise, we will announce an escalation of our movement, including occupying or surrounding different government buildings," he said. Both the Hong Kong government and the police on Thursday reiterated their call to protesters to disperse. Police spokesman Steve Hui told reporters that if protesters surrounded and occupied Mr Leung's office building in Central, this would cause public safety problems. "The police will not stand by and watch. We will decisively uphold the law," he said. When asked if tear gas would be used, Mr Hui said the police would monitor the situation and would use "appropriate force if necessary", reported RTHK. The South China Morning Post is reporting confrontations between the police and protesters outside the building. The Hong Kong government said the protesters were conducting a "siege" and if it continued, government and police operations would "be seriously affected". "This will eventually affect social order and the provision of government services to the public and society," it said, adding that 3,000 government officials were due to return to work on Friday. Chan Kin-man of Occupy Central has urged the students to be peaceful, but also called on Mr Leung to quit. Speaking in Washington on Wednesday, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the protests were an "internal affair" for China. Hong Kong authorities had "the capability to properly handle the current situation", he said. In other developments: Several reports, citing unidentified Hong Kong sources, suggest the authorities plan to wait, hoping the protest campaign will lose momentum.

Read the terms and conditions The 23-year-old defender was carried off six minutes into his Premier League debut against Leicester City last August after tearing anterior and medial ligaments. Mings has now had a minor operation which is likely to put back his return date to September. "He's had a slight setback, nothing major," said Cherries boss Eddie Howe. "When he first suffered the injury we knew it was going to be nine to 12 months, but now we are looking more towards the 12 rather than a nine-month period," Howe told BBC Radio Solent. "He's had some staples removed from his knee, it's not a serious operation but it's one that just delays the time of his comeback." Meanwhile, striker Callum Wilson has returned to first-team training after almost seven months out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Wilson, 24, remains the Cherries' joint-top-scorer with five goals in seven Premier League matches. "Naturally he was slightly ginger with his training to start with - he's had a serious injury so that's understandable," added Howe. "But now we are starting to see more of the normal Callum - throwing his body here, there and everywhere, stepping across defenders and giving them a hard time in training. It's been good to see." The businesses fear that even the proposed M4 relief road might not be wide enough to deal with extra traffic. Denise Lovering, director of Glenside Commercials in Bedwas, Caerphilly, said that could risk damaging the image of Wales as a business destination. Details about lifting the tolls after 2018 are expected "in due course". Ms Lovering, an influential force in the Freight Transport Association (FTA), wants the tolls scrapped and backs the M4 relief road around Newport. Figures from the UK government's Department for Transport (DfT) earlier this year suggested reducing the Severn Bridge tolls to £10 for lorries and £3 for cars could increase traffic by up to 17% by 2028. BBC Wales has asked DfT if there is a projection for traffic if the tolls were scrapped completely. It said it was "working on how it will implement its commitments and there will be announcement in due course". The Welsh Government supports getting rid of the tolls and says it accounted for extra traffic from scrapping the tolls when it put forward its preferred route for the M4 relief road. But Ms Lovering fears the planned expansion of the motorway, whichever route is decided as the best option, might not be big enough to cope with the increase in traffic once tolls are abolished. The proposed £1.1bn plans for an M4 relief road around Newport are currently being analysed by a public inquiry, which started at the end of February.. The 14.23-mile (23km) highway - three lanes in each direction - would be between the current M4 junction 23a at Magor to junction 29 near Castleton, around the Brynglas tunnels bottleneck. Ms Lovering said: "When you look at motorways throughout the country, most new ones being built are with four lanes, not three lanes any more. So it could very well be that a decision to put a three-lane motorway now is not the right thing to do. "We need something that's fit for purpose, future-proofed so that we're not standing here in 10 years' time saying we made the wrong decision." Congestion is frustrating for drivers but also costs hauliers money. Ian Jarman, manager at Llanelli-based Owens Group, said it costs £1 a minute if a 44-tonne truck is caught in congestion and added it is commonplace for his vehicles to lose 25 minutes queuing at the Severn Crossing tolls. Mr Jarman, vice chairman of the Freight Council in Wales, also fears that any easing of congestion from the building of the M4 relief road would be made worse again by the increase in traffic once tolls are lifted. It was during this year's general election campaign that the Conservatives said they would scrap the tolls. Prime Minister Theresa May said it would boost the economy by £100m. The Severn crossings transfer into public ownership in 2018. But the details of when the tolls will be lifted are not clear. Already there are 25 million vehicle crossings a year, with revenue of about £98m a year. There is an estimated annual maintenance and operational cost of about £15m for both Severn crossings - and £63m debt carried over from old Severn Bridge. The Wales Office said the government was "working on how it will implement its commitments and there will be an announcement in due course". Jenny Rathbone, the Cardiff Central AM, backs the end of the tolls but is an opponent of the relief road. "Building new roads doesn't ease congestion it makes it worse and we shouldn't use roads as a solution," she said. The talks are set to begin on Monday and will include the Houthis, who recently took over power in Yemen. The Shia rebel group has been widely condemned after dissolving parliament and setting up an interim government. UN chief Ban Ki-Moon has called for the restoration of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. "The situation is very, very seriously deteriorating, with the Houthis taking power and making this government vacuum in power," Mr Ban said. The Houthis have argued their actions were necessary to prevent a power vacuum forming after the resignation of President Hadi. He said his position had become untenable after the militia tightened their grip on the capital last month. He has been under house arrest ever since. On Saturday, the Houthis signalled they were ready to work with other political factions. "Our hand is extended to every political force in this country. The space is open for partnership, co-operation and brotherhood," said Abdul Malik al-Houthi. Thousands have protested in several Yemeni cities against the takeover. Provincial leaders in Marib, east of the capital Sanaa, say they will resist any Houthi attempts to take over the region. The Arab League warned the Houthis' move would lead to the collapse of the political process in Yemen. Yemen has been riven by instability since protesters inspired by the Arab Spring forced the overthrow of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2011, who is now believed to have been backing the Houthis. The country is also fighting an al-Qaeda insurgency with the help of US drones. Despite the takeover, the US said it was continuing to work with Yemeni on counter-terrorism. In a blog post, Google Fiber chief executive Craig Barratt announced he was stepping down and said development in many cities would be "paused". However, installation will continue in cities where work has already started. One analyst suggested Google would explore less expensive ways to roll out broadband access. "Installation was far too time consuming and expensive," said Kamalini Ganguly, senior analyst at the Ovum consultancy. "Fibre is the most expensive option when it comes to mainstream broadband access technology. "I think in the future we may see Google use a wireless solution that doesn't take fibre all the way to the home. We'll see a combination of technologies." Google Fiber was designed to bring ultrafast internet access to cities with poor web infrastructure and limited competition between service providers. The project was first announced in 2010 and more than 1,000 towns and cities applied to be part of it. Fibre optic internet cables can deliver much faster speeds than traditional copper telephone wires or existing wireless solutions, but running new cables to millions of homes can be prohibitively expensive. Mr Barratt said the company's plan had been "refined" to "focus on new technology" but did not specify whether Google was switching its focus to wireless internet. Google Fiber already offers internet access in nine cities, and has committed to deploying its technology in a further four. Mr Barratt said that work would go ahead and that existing customers in cities such as Atlanta, Georgia and Austin, Texas would not be affected. "Our subscriber base and revenue are growing quickly and we expect that growth to continue," he said. However, development would be "paused" in most of the 10 "potential" cities it had been evaluating and Chicago, Illinois and San Diego, California have been removed from the list of possible future locations. Mr Barratt confirmed there would be some job losses at the organisation. Despite Google's decision to scale back its fibre roll-out, Ms Ganguly said the scheme had achieved some of its goals. "Definitely one of their objectives was to spur competition and push other providers into rolling out fibre and providing higher bandwidth services at an affordable price. They have achieved that," she told the BBC. The British number four was leading Germany's Dustin Brown 6-3 4-2 when he began hopping in pain after pushing off on his left leg to return a serve. Evans, 27, will have a scan on Monday, with the start of Wimbledon, where he reached round three last year, just three weeks away. Fellow Briton Heather Watson is through to the final of the women's event. Watson defeated compatriot Harriet Dart 6-1 6-2 and will play Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova in Sunday's final. Violence has spiralled since inconclusive elections in June and has overshadowed other chronic problems faced by young people. ''In previous elections we used to run campaigns or promote problems of the youth, but this time... young people just want peace,'' 27-year-old activist Anil Gokrenk told the BBC. ''When we look at our politically active friends in this election, they don't seem very excited. Like the rest of society, the younger generation is tired,'' said Ismail Metin. Both young men are from the National Youth Parliament, a national lobbying group that represents a wide range of political opinion. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hopes the Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) will win back the majority it lost in the June election. Wave of violence Turkey suffered its deadliest attack in modern times when twin suicide bombings killed more than 100 people in the capital Ankara two weeks ago. The attack followed an escalation of fighting between the security forces and Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants in the southeast, which left hundreds of people dead, many of them men in their 20s. The surge in violence has taken its toll on young political activists as well. ''We lost our loved ones and friends. Our responsibility is to continue their struggle and make sure their names live forever,'' says a defiant Ozgen Sadet, whose 20-year-old sister Hatice was killed in another suicide bomb attack a few months ago. Ozgen, a 23-year-old woman, is the joint leader of the Federation of Social Youth Associations. Thirty-three of its members were killed in Suruc, a border town in the south-east. The activist group was taking aid to the Kurdish town of Kobane in Syria when it was targeted by an Islamic State (IS) bomber. Earlier this year Kobane was left in ruins after intense fighting between Syrian Kurdish forces and IS. A recent economics graduate, Ozgen is determined to dedicate all her time to politics. Turkey has the youngest population in Europe - 25% are below the age of 30. However, a third of young people are not in education, employment or training, according to a recent report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). And official statistics show that youth unemployment is rising. Political parties are competing for young voters and economic promises targeting them have featured prominently in campaigns. The Republican People's Party (CHP) has promised to introduce unemployment benefits and the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) is promising scholarships and free travel. The ruling AKP says it will help young people to set up new businesses. And the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has pledged to create 700,000 new jobs every year. ''The youth issue has been a new battleground for politicians. But they don't speak the same language as young people,'' said Yoruk Kurtaran from Bilgi University. The gap between politics and the younger generation is evident in parliamentary representation, with only 2% of 550 MPs under the age of 30. But a survey conducted in 2014 suggests that only 20% of young people are interested in becoming members of a political party. ''That doesn't mean that Turkish youth is apolitical - they just aren't interested in traditional politics,'' says Basak Tugsavul from Community Volunteers Foundation, a network of young volunteers. ''The language of Turkish politics is alienating and young people are looking for alternative ways to express themselves individually, as they have already done through graffiti or street art.'' Political parties have all pledged to lower the minimum age of parliamentary candidates from 25 to 18. Activist Anil underlines why young people want a greater say in their future: ''We are the ones who are dying as a result of the terror,'' he says. ''The soldiers, the ones fighting up in the mountains, they are all young. If this is our problem, where do we get a say in this? Nowhere.''

The Wire led 14-0 after 30 minutes courtesy of tries from Stefan Ratchford, Kurt Gidley and Ben Currie. Luke Dorn and Grant Millington reduced the deficit to two points at half-time before Denny Solomona put Cas ahead minutes after the restart. Further scores Mike McMeeken, Solomona and Dorn stunned the St James' Park Magic Weekend crowd. Warrington went into their first encounter with Castleford at a Magic Weekend looking to bounce back from last week's 36-28 defeat by Wakefield, and they were in complete control for the first 30 minutes. But Castleford refused to lie down and when full-back Dorn, who will retire at the end of the season, finished off a sensational team try, the momentum in the game shifted. Tigers, who came into the game off the back of a huge 52-12 victory over Leeds Rhinos, then posted 22 second-half points as Wolves' wobble continued. They remain top of Super League on points difference but have lost five of their last eight matches, and both Catalans Dragons will have the chance to move top when they play Wakefield tomorrow. Castleford head coach Daryl Powell: "We were a little bit slow out of the blocks, they were winning contact consistently. They were just too good for us. "We got some confidence after that 10 minutes just before half-time and then our second half was superb. "It's certainly up there (as his best win as Castleford coach), to be able to flip a game like we did there. A, it gives you confidence and B, it gives you a knowledge that whatever is happening to you, you can turn a game around, which is obviously crucial for any team. "We've hit a decent bit of form on the back of getting some players back. There's a confidence about us now and it's just about being consistent. "It's round 15 today and we've got a bit of a way to go, but we'll give ourselves a chance if we keep turning up with performances like that, particularly the second half." Warrington head coach Tony Smith: "I thought we were in pretty good control but we should have had more points on the board. "I was hoping we wouldn't rue that later in the game, and we did. Cas threw a bit of caution to the wind on a couple of plays in that last seven or eight minutes of that first half and it worked for them. "It gave them a little bit of confidence to have a crack in that second half and it probably took a bit of the wind out of our sails." Warrington: Russell, Ormsby, T King, Jullien, Lineham, Gidley, Ratchford, Hill, Clark, Sims, Currie, Westwood, Westerman. Replacements: Cox, Bailey, G King, Smith. Castleford: Dorn, Flynn, Crooks, Monaghan, Solomona, Roberts, Gale, Tickle, Milner, Millington, Moors, McMeeken, Massey. Replacements: McShane, Springer, Webster, Cook. Referee: Gareth Hewer (RFL)

On average, they have received increases of 7.2% over the past year, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics). That figure exactly matches the rise in house price in 2016, as measured by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). However the industry body said the number was "an exaggeration". In the previous year estate agents, surveyors and valuers received average rises of 6.5%, according to the Rics survey. Earlier this week, ONS figures showed that average UK wages grew by 2.6% in the year to December. However the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) said not all residential agents would have received such a generous rise. "40% of what they earn is commission, so that's success-related," said Mark Hayward, NAEA managing director. "Their basic salary, I'm pretty sure, will have remained the same." Most agents charge sellers a percentage of the sale price, so fees tend to rise in line with house prices. However the NAEA said fees had typically dropped over the last year, from 1.2% of the sale price, to 1.1%. The survey, conducted by Rics and the recruitment firm Macdonald and Company, showed that the average salary of a property professional is £52,362. In London the average salary is £61,141. The survey of over 8,000 Rics members also revealed a large gender pay gap among those who work in the industry. On average, male agents earn more than £11,000 a year more than females, a fact that Rics described as "disheartening". The NAEA said there was a 50-50 gender split in residential sales and lettings, and that pay was the same. The move comes three years after Allison rejoined Ferrari as part of a restructuring plan to improve the team's performance. The first car designed under his control won three races in 2015, but Ferrari's revival has stalled this season, with no wins so far. Mattia Binotto has been promoted to chief technical officer. His previous role was as head of Formula 1 power-units. Allison, 48, was also at Ferrari as head of aerodynamics during the dominant Michael Schumacher era of 2000 to 2004, before moving back to the Renault team, where he was deputy technical director when Fernando Alonso won consecutive titles in 2005 and 2006. He is one of the most highly regarded engineering leaders in F1 and is likely to be of interest to a number of other teams. He said in a statement issued by Ferrari: "During the years I spent at Ferrari, at two different stages and covering different roles, I could get to know and appreciate the value of the team and of the people, women and men, which are part of it. "I want to thank them all for the great professional and human experience we shared. I wish everybody a happy future with lots of success." Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene said: "The team would like to thank James for his commitment and sacrifice during the time spent together, and wishes him success and serenity for his future endeavours." Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne has recently been conducting a review of the operational practices of the team, including consulting engineers on all levels, in an attempt to inject more creativity into the team. This has included a restructuring of the internal workings of departments across Ferrari. Allison's next destination is yet to be decided but his reputation is such that he would be of interest to most teams. McLaren were keen to sign him at the start of 2013, but he ultimately turned them down to go back to Ferrari. And the Enstone-based Renault team, where Allison has worked on three separate occasions, is undergoing a major rebuilding programme following the French company's buy-back of the operation from former owner Genii Capital, which ran it as Lotus from 2012-15.

The bodies of Sian Blake, 43, Zachary, eight, and Amon, four, were found in their London garden on Tuesday. British police said they were going through the process of extraditing Mr Simpson-Kent back to the UK, but were not sure how long it would take. Ghanaian police said Mr Simpson-Kent would not be deported from the country until British officials requested extradition. The BBC's Sammy Darko, at a police news conference in Accra, said British police rejected the accusation that they had been slow to act in the case, and said they had acted quickly. The family were first reported missing on 16 December. Mr Simpson-Kent was arrested in a coastal area popular with tourists and had been cutting a coconut when armed police surrounded him. BBC correspondent Alastair Leithead, who is in Ghana, said: "Around 10 police officers went down to the beach where he was spotted hiding amongst some rocks and the police, who were all armed, called out to him. "He gave himself up and they found that he had a knife on him, but he didn't use it in a threatening way. "He was then taken to a nearby village where police thanked the people who had informed them he was in this area." Mr Leithead said the arrest involved Met and Ghanaian Police as well as officers from Interpol. Mr Simpson-Kent had been spotted by a fisherman swimming in a remote cove, but it was a cafe owner who raised the alarm after recognising the image circulating of him on social media. Mr Simpson-Kent, the children's father, arrived in Ghana on 19 December, with the country's police force becoming involved in the hunt for him on Thursday. Ghanaian Police had initially been sent to the Cape Coast in the south of the country - where the extended Simpson family is from - as well as to other parts of the Atlantic shoreline. Ms Blake and the couple's sons had not been seen at their south-east London home since 13 December and a missing persons inquiry was launched on 16 December, after the NSPCC had raised concerns about their welfare. The Met Police spoke to Mr Simpson-Kent on 16 December, but that was the last time he was seen. A subsequent search of the family home in Erith, south east London, on 5 January uncovered three bodies in the garden. The actress and her two sons had died from neck and head injuries, post-mortem tests revealed. Ms Blake's sister Ava Blake spoke last week about the deaths. She said: "It's my nephews more than anything. My brother is angry. My cousins are angry. "They are angry about Sian, but the boys have devastated us. We have lost a generation. We can never replace them." Ms Blake, who had motor neurone disease, had played Frankie Pierre in 56 episodes of EastEnders between 1996 and 1997. The Met has been criticised over delays in its investigation and is being investigated by the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Rowland Phillips' squad will face Japan after just over a month in camp preparing for August's World Cup in Ireland. "The Japan match gives us a good chance to see how much we have improved," he said. Wales have been drawn against New Zealand, Canada and Hong Kong in Pool A. A report for the Department of Environment and Climate Change (Decc) estimates that greenhouse gas emissions would be similar to home-grown gas but lower than imported gas or coal. Shale gas could benefit the UK, through energy security and jobs, Secretary of State Ed Davey told the Royal Society. Greenpeace said low carbon renewables were a better way to meet energy needs. The new report, by Decc chief scientific advisor Prof David MacKay and Dr Timothy Stone, senior advisor to the Secretary of State, looked at the potential greenhouse gas emissions from the production of shale gas in the UK. It concluded that the net effect would be "relatively small". Prof MacKay told BBC News: "The emissions from shale gas in the UK will be similar to those of liquefied natural gas. "And secondly, as with any fossil fuel reserve if you put extra fossil fuel into play, if you don't also have global climate policies then we think it's credible that global cumulative emissions could increase. "So we think it's essential that shale gas use should be accompanied by continued global climate policy action." In a speech to the Royal Society, Ed Davey responded to the findings. He said: "Gas, as the cleanest fossil fuel, is part of the answer to climate change, as a bridge in our transition to a green future, especially in our move away from coal. "We have to face it: North Sea gas production is falling and we are become increasingly reliant on gas imports. So UK shale gas could increase our energy security by cutting those imports. "Home-grown gas, just like home-grown renewables and new nuclear, also provides jobs for our people and tax revenues for our society." He added that regulation to protect the local environment must be followed "to the letter". However, Leila Deen, energy campaigner at Greenpeace, said Mr Davey was "endorsing the use of a fuel that remains highly polluting, damages our countryside and scientists say must be largely left underground". "The solution to our energy problems is still a roll-out of high-tech low carbon renewables which would be incentivised by supporting the clean energy target in the Energy Bill, but Davey is currently blocking it." Concerns over extraction of natural gas from shale have centred on the risk of small earthquakes and the potential impact on water supplies. There has also been debate about the impact of the technology on meeting greenhouse gas targets. A US government laboratory says the much talked about "pause" is an illusion caused by inaccurate data. Updated observations show temperatures did not plateau, say National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) scientists. The warming rate over the past 15 years is "virtually identical" to the last century, they report in Science. Dr Thomas Karl of NOAA, who led the new analysis, said: "We would hope that it would inform the general public that the temperature today really is continuing to warm." Commenting on the study, Dr Ed Hawkins, climate scientist at the University of Reading, said: "This suggests that the much-discussed recent slowdown in global temperatures is far less pronounced than previously thought." The idea of a global warming "hiatus" arose from questions over why the trend of warming temperatures appeared to be stalling recently compared to the later part of the 20th Century. Various explanations have been put forward, including changes in volcanic and solar activity, and ocean currents. The new analysis corrects for ocean observations made using different methods as well as including new data on surface temperatures. Dr Peter Stott of the Met Office Hadley Centre said the results "still show the warming trend over the past 15 years has been slower than previous 15 year periods" and "global temperatures have not increased smoothly". "This means natural variability in the climate system or other external factors has still had an influence and it's important we continue research to fully understand all the processes at work," he said. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global average temperatures have increased by around 0.05C per decade in the period between 1998 and 2012. This compares with an average of 0.12 per decade between 1951 and 2012. The new analysis suggests a figure of 0.116 per decade for 2000-2014, compared with 0.113 for 1950-1999. "The IPCC's statement of two years ago - that the global surface temperature 'has shown a much smaller increasing linear trend over the past 15 years than over the past 30 to 60 years' - is no longer valid," said Dr Karl, the director of Noaa's National Climatic Data Center.

The film is set against the real-life backdrop of the Holodomor - when millions of Ukrainians were starved to death in the early 1930s as Soviet leader Joseph Stalin stripped them of their produce to force farmers into collectivisation. Bitter Harvest follows two lovers, artist Yuri (Max Irons) and his childhood sweetheart Natalka (Samantha Barks), who are separated in the struggle against Soviet oppression before Yuri attempts a dangerous journey back home. Tamer Hassan, who's played Khal Forzo in Game of Thrones and starred opposite Danny Dyer in The Football Factory, plays Russian soldier Sergei, intent on destroying a swathe of Ukrainian villages. We asked the film's stars what they took away from the experience. The actors had no knowledge of the Holodomor before joining the film - and they're not alone. Tamer: "I'm probably one of the 95% of the world not knowing about the Holodomor - which translated means 'death by starvation'". Samantha: "The fact the Holodomor wasn't something I knew about - the reason I didn't know about this and so many people don't is because it was kept under wraps until 1991 (when the Soviet Union collapsed). It's completely shocking." Max: "Stalin's closing of the Ukrainian border was so effective, nobody knew." Tamer, best known for playing villains such as the head of Millwall's hooligan firm in The Football Factory, had his work cut out playing Stalin's Russian enforcer Sergei. Tamer: "Every movie needs a villain and he's definitely the worst I've ever played. "He's the antichrist, he's a cold-blooded mass murderer, he's a paedophile. "You want to know why he's doing what he's doing, none of us are born evil. He witnessed his mother being murdered in a church. There's a little bit (in me) that wanted the audience to feel sorry for him or love him, even for a millisecond." The movie was a labour of love for the Ukrainian filmmakers. Tamer: "It's still happening today, history repeating itself. Hollywood doesn't make films like this anymore, the movie industry is no different to real estate. But for Ian Ihnatowycz, the lead producer, and director George Mandeluk, who are Ukrainians whose families suffered in the Holodomor, they're very passionate about putting this story out. It's a gift to their people. "We were very lucky to be able to film in Ukraine at the historical sites where it all happened. We had an amazing Ukrainian cast and crew. You feel it when you're there. There was a lot of goodwill behind the movie." Note to self - never stand behind a horse. Tamer: "We were using circus horses, not stunt horses, they were working these horses to the bone. "I don't blame the horse, we became friends! But I walked behind the horse. It stamped on my foot and kicked back and severed my cartilage. The X-ray was a horseshoe print on my foot! "I went to the hospital, the consultant said: 'We'll have to put it in plaster, operate and you'll have to have six weeks off. I said: 'I'm an actor, we don't have those luxuries!' So I went back to set, put my boot on and within two or three hours my foot would swell out, I was in excruciating pain and trying to act at the same time. They had to cut me out of the boot. So anyone who wants to be an actor, don't, it's not that glamorous and it's painful!" It's all about the love. Max: "What drew me to it was the love story - two people struggling with their reality. People are suspicious of love stories in films if they appear manufactured but this one is beautiful. When we hear testimony from the people who survived, love is the driving force in their quest for survival. That's what you see with Yuri and Natalka. Love that pushed them to endure that cold a little bit more, to walk that little bit further." Feeling the weight of responsibility. Samantha: "You want to be as truthful and honour that story as much of you can but obviously that's a pressure because it's a huge, huge part of history that's been kept under wraps for so long." Max: "Ukraine's relationship with Russia is difficult, safe to say for hundreds of years there's been a very determined effort to dilute Ukrainian national identity and we see that again today. The more voices the Ukraine can have the better." And finally - Max, what's it like having Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack as your mum and dad? Max: "We don't talk about acting that much thank God because that would be horrible! They didn't try to put me off, the advice they gave me most was there will be good days and there will be bad days. That's an actor's life and prepare yourself emotionally, financially, spiritually for that. But then when they saw I was serious about it, they let me get on with it." Bitter Harvest is released in UK cinemas on 24 February. Athletics' world governing body has banned Russia's athletics federation over claims of state-sponsored doping. But the Russian Olympic Committee and 68 athletes, including two-time Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva, have taken their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). The Olympics start on 5 August. Russia was suspended from global track and field events by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in November 2015. That followed the publication of an independent World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) report that showed a culture of widespread, state-sponsored doping, with even the secret services involved. The country's sports minister, Vitaly Mutko, has since apologised for the fact cheating athletes were not caught by Russia's anti-doping systems but stopped short of admitting the scandal had been state-sponsored. Should Russia's athletics federation remain banned, the IAAF has said a handful of the country's athletes could compete in Rio as "neutrals" if they meet a number of criteria, including being repeatedly tested outside their homeland. However, there have been calls for the country to be given a total ban from the Olympics and Paralympics following the publication of the McLaren report. That found evidence Russia operated a state-sponsored doping programme for four years across the "vast majority" of summer and winter Olympic sports. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it would wait for Thursday's judgement from Cas before announcing any sanctions. IOC president Thomas Bach said the findings of the McLaren report were an "unprecedented attack on the integrity of sport and on the Olympic Games". The images had appeared in an internal training session, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said. Assistant Chief Constable Debbie Ford said: "The fact that we believe these images have been used again is totally unacceptable." GMP apologised in June for using a "distressing" photo of Hillsborough. Ninety-six Liverpool fans died as a result of the disaster at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final at the Sheffield football ground. Ms Ford added: "I have written to the families of the Hillsborough victims to apologise for the distress this may cause them. "I have also taken steps to prevent this from happening again, which includes suspending work around the super recogniser programme until 2017 while the necessary measures are taken to remove any inappropriate images." The photograph that led to GMP's apology in June was used on a poster advertising for 'Super Recognisers', who are skilled at picking out faces in a crowd. GMP said it accepted that the use of images from the Hillsborough disaster was "totally inappropriate". It said staff were told that "using these images in any format is prohibited". Louise Brookes, sister of Andrew Brookes, who died in the Hillsborough disaster aged 26, said in June she was told the photograph showed one of the pens where the fatal crush occurred. 15 March 2017 Last updated at 07:55 GMT People have been asked to stay in their homes. Some schools are closed and thousands of flights have been cancelled. Take a look at Storm Stella in numbers. Media playback is not supported on this device The pair join 33 other riders in Friday's opening round, with the top 20 after that contesting the medals. London 2012 gold medallist Maher picked up just one time fault on Tic Tac, while Skelton had five on Big Star. "I feel my horse is jumping better as each day goes on," said Maher. Great Britain exited the team competition in the first round earlier this week, and Maher added: "Myself and Nick are trying to redeem ourselves. "We really believed that we could come here and put in a good performance for the team, and things just didn't go our way. It just wasn't meant to be. "We had to come out and keep pushing, and the deal today was that we made the cut. We both got the job done." It says the forthcoming election and accompanying political uncertainty will hold business back from investing. Growth will also be constrained by worries about the eurozone and the Ukraine conflict, EY Item Club says. The 2.4% figure undershoots forecasts issued by the Bank of England, the CBI and the International Monetary Fund. Last week, the Bank's chief economist, Andrew Haldane, said he was downbeat over the UK economy because of weaker global growth, low wage growth and financial and political risks. He said interest rates should remain low to avoid long-term economic stagnation. Peter Spencer, EY Item Club's chief economic adviser, said: "The forecast for GDP growth is still relatively good. What has changed is the global risks surrounding the forecast and the headwinds facing investment by firms. "The UK's export outlook continues to look dreadful. The glimpse of economic rebalancing that we saw in the early part of this year has turned out to be a false dawn. "Looming political uncertainty risks denting corporate confidence - the question now is how will these risks play out? I expect caution to become the order of the day." He also said the Bank of England was unlikely to rush to raise borrowing costs in the face of falling commodity prices and low wage growth. The report predicted inflation would remain low. It is currently at a five-year low of 1.2% and is likely to average 1.3% in 2015, EY Item Club said. The Bank of England's most recent forecasts predict GDP growth of 3.5% this year and 3% next, while the IMF says it will be 3.2% followed by 2.7% and the CBI 3% and then 2.7%. US officials say Vladimir Putin has made a terrible choice, which will leave his country in a much weaker position. But this is a critical test of Obama's leadership too, one that will demonstrate how much clout the US has in the world. Secretary of State John Kerry is flying to Kiev to meet leaders there, and the US is trying to co-ordinate an international response to put pressure on President Putin. But senior administration officials have pretty much ruled out military intervention. President Obama's critics are accusing him of acting too slowly and, once again, allowing someone to trample all over his "red lines". On Friday evening he warned that there would be "costs" to Russian military intervention in Ukraine. Hours later the troops moved in. The US now says there are more than 6,000 Russian troops occupying Crimea. It's been suggested he has a problem of credibility, and that has encouraged Putin. Certainly the West seems ill-prepared for this escalation of the crisis, which they should have seen coming - as I wrote when the protests were at their height. It was obvious Putin would not give up easily. But you can overdo the Obama factor. It's worth remembering that Putin went to war in Georgia when George W Bush was in the Oval office, and no one thought he was a peacenik. But Bush obviously thought better of fighting another nuclear power over a former part of the Soviet empire. Senior administration officials have reacted furiously to the suggestion that Obama's past behaviour has encouraged Putin. They say the Russian leader's policy in Ukraine has failed; he has no game, and all he has left is the use of hard power. They say the world should be blaming him, not Obama. We are going to see a lot more moves over the coming days, with the US trying to co-ordinate an international squeeze on Russia. The first point of pressure is the June meeting of the G8 in Sochi. The US, Canada and the UK have cancelled meetings preparing for it. The "off ramp" - the offer to help Russia back down - is a plan to send international monitors to make sure ethnic Russians are safe. This is hardly going to appeal to Putin. It is worth remembering that Crimea was a part of Russia from 1783 onwards and in the early years of the Soviet Union it was an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation. Khrushchev gifted it to Ukraine in 1954. Now Putin wants it back. To withdraw would be a failure and a humiliation for him. The problem for Obama is that an economic squeeze takes a long time to work. Putin may not mind the diplomatic pressure at all - he seems to enjoy tweaking the noses of Western leaders. It is easy to see how the situation could get very much worse - and it is not clear how Obama would react to a deepening of the crisis. It's still not clear that it's ready for a sell-off of the UK government stake, but that's what it's getting anyway. You might, meanwhile, be missing another point that the £45bn bail-out nearly seven years ago was not (back then) intended to turn a profit. It was intended to save the bank. And it did. Our expectation of profit on our investment followed later. Back then, there was a chance that the whole jingbang could have gone the way of the £12bn raised from shareholders the previous spring - up the Swanee, or down the Gogar Burn. With the first tranche of sales now under way, because the financial investment arm of the Treasury says "it would be appropriate", this is being seen by RBS as an opportunity to underline how much else has changed. It's less than half the size it was, in assets - down from £2.2 trillion to £945bn. (That's still quite big.) It's core capital ratio (the main measure of its buffer against losses) has risen from a reckless 4% to 12.3%, continuing to rise in line with the demands of regulators. When it crashed, it had nearly 200,000 employees in 51 countries. At the last count, it was 109,200, while aiming to cut to only 13 countries, only to serve its UK and Ireland core. Six years ago, the UK accounted for 48% of RBS activities: that's now 80%. A positive reading of the share price has it on an upward trend. But not if you look at the last three years, when the share price has been stubbornly stuck around 20% below the break-even price for the UK taxpayer's £45bn. For all that the half-year results last week sought to get the dirty laundry out in the open, there's lots that still needs to be sorted through, and that uncertainty has kept the share price depressed. Much of that known unknown is the litigation looming on the 2008 rights issue, with the question of whether shareholders were knowingly misled by Fred Goodwin and his top team about the true state of RBS's vulnerability. Much to the disappointment of the current management, they have recently failed in their attempt to remove Mr Goodwin from proceedings. That's only going to complicate their case, and bring back unhappy memories, in a case which carries an estimated legal bill for RBS of £42m. Meanwhile, customer sentiment to RBS is not looking good. The half-year results show that the opinion surveying of customers suggests Scottish customers have a much dimmer view of their bank than those who bank under its NatWest brand in England and Wales. Asked if they trust their own bank to "do the right thing", there was a two percentage point deficit in Scotland in April to June, and a 48 point positive south of the Border. Would they recommend the bank to a friend? The RBS count in Scotland was 10 points into the red during the second quarter, while NatWest was ten points to the good. RBS in Scotland was in more negative territory with business customers. That relative weakness, when set alongside NatWest, emphasises that the RBS brand remains troubled, even with its own loyal customers. But George Osborne is pressing ahead anyway, with a sale of more than 5% of the bank to institutional investors, at well under the break-even price. The plan appears to be that this will start a process which itself improves confidence, the share price reflects that with an upward rise, and further tranches of shares are subsequently offloaded. One question is: why is it now appropriate? The first condition of a sale is that it provides the taxpayer with value for money. It's not clear how a sale at the current price does so. When asked on BBC Radio Scotland, Treasury minister Harriet Baldwin's answer was, to paraphrase: because the governor of the Bank of England said it's time to start reducing public ownership, so that capital can be more efficiently allocated. Then: why now? The first week in August doesn't seem the most liquid time to be diving into the market, when traders are diving into distant pools, on holiday. But we're told there was healthy demand all the same. Another question is: how fast and how long will this process be? How much of a stake is George Osborne wanting to sell this year - a year which he has already pronounced will be the biggest ever year for privatising UK government assets - surpassing even Margaret Thatcher in her "selling off the family silver" heyday. And yet more: is there any protection planned for RBS as a significant national asset - one that represents around a quarter of UK business lending, and a much higher proportion in Scotland? Could the government structure the sale to ensure that it retains a stake with which to keep control in Britain (and the headquarters in Scotland)? Would it want to? And if RBS is to be returned to the stock market in private hands, then it becomes vulnerable to takeover and to break-up. While the UK government has held around 80% of it, these have not been questions to trouble us. And remember that it didn't take TSB long after parting with Lloyds to find itself under Spanish ownership. So is there any UK government policy on protecting RBS, including its vital role in supplying finance to UK business? Indeed, is there any Scottish government policy on that? It has been - over the seven years on - uncharacteristically reticent about what went wrong at RBS, or what should happen to it now. • Update: The SNP's deputy leader, Stewart Hosie, has agreed that RBS shares should be sold off by the UK government, but warned against the tax-payer being "short-changed" instead of "getting every penny back". He said: "It is to be welcomed that RBS is moving from government ownership back into the private sector, however it should not be on the cheap." He added the sale had to be open and honest. "Right now, there is some very real concern that the chancellor is trying to cut and run". Zohore's three-year extension was announced shortly before Friday night's 2-0 defeat against Newcastle. The 23-year-old had been at Cardiff City Stadium hours earlier than team-mates in order to put pen to paper. "He's been at the ground since half past four so no wonder he's knackered," said Warnock. The Bluebirds boss added: "I'm disappointed about that. "He shouldn't have been in until half six, and the game should have come first really. "It was something I wasn't aware of and it won't happen again." The loss against promoted Newcastle was Cardiff's final home game of the season, with the Bluebirds' campaign coming to an end away at Huddersfield next weekend. There has been speculation the game against the Magpies could also have been Peter Whittingham's final match at the Cardiff City Stadium. Cardiff's longest serving player is out of contract at the end of the season and was given a warm ovation from the home fans as he was substituted during the second half against Newcastle. As one of the club's top earners, Whittingham would have to take a pay cut if he signs a new deal, and Warnock has said the club will resume negotiations at the end of the season. "We're talking all the time. I'm seeing Peter next week and I'm hoping to see a few of the other lads," Warnock added. "We've managed to get Zohore over the line and now we're working on certain other players we feel can contribute for next season. "We need quality in the forward line and find more goals, apart from that, it looks like an exciting time. "I don't think there is a Brighton or Newcastle in the league next season so it will be very even. "Even though we're not spending a lot of money, I think with what we've got and four or five additions, we can be up there. "The bookies will have us just below halfway but you never know, if you get a team spirit like Brighton. "It took them three years but we haven't got three years - at least I haven't - so we've got to conjure four or five new signings and give it a go." She became the fourth contestant to be eliminated from the live shows on Sunday. When referring to the messages she had received from internet trolls, Chloe said: "I just don't understand why they don't have jobs. "Why are you not writing about the war? Or recent epidemics? Or politics?" However, despite the online abuse, Chloe has insisted giving up social media would be the "worst thing she could do". She has also complained about stories written about her in the media, claiming she has felt like a "target". "The press allegations were horrible," she said. "I don't understand how things can be printed if they have no verification or sources." There was one story which particularly offended Chloe. "Apparently I attend orgies on a regular basis," she explained. "I had never heard of an orgy before. I thought that was an abbreviation for organic food. "I was waking up every morning, thinking, 'what horrible story will be printed about me?' "Every time someone writes something derogatory or cruel or unkind, which has no factual basis, why don't they donate £1 to charity?" Chloe has insisted she has "no regrets" about going on the X Factor because it made her a "stronger person". While her time on the reality show is over, the model believes she will remain in the public eye. "I did have a career before this which I had to put on hold and I will be returning to," she said. "I really want to say you haven't heard the last from me."

It was only Barca's second win in five games, having lost in the Champions League quarter-finals to Juventus. "It will be tight until the end," said Enrique. Barcelona are level on points with Real Madrid, but hold the better head-to-head record after a 1-1 draw at Nou Camp earlier in the season. "These are demanding games that require maximum physical and mental preparation." added Enrique, who will leave the club at the end of the season. "The fact that we made it 3-2 in the 92nd minute makes it a gargantuan morale booster." Messi's last-gasp goal came with Real, down to 10 men after Sergio Ramos was sent off, going in search of their own winner. Real have not won La Liga since 2012 but boss Zinedine Zidane feels, with a game in hand, the title remains in his side's hands. "I'm not saying we lost our heads but with the scores level and with 10 men, we pushed very high up and that's dangerous, so we've paid for it in the end," said the ex-France midfielder. "I'm not going to blame my players. We always try and win the game and we just didn't manage it today. "We've lost three points and we're disappointed because over the course of the game we didn't deserve to lose." Temidayo Joseph, 16, died at Basildon Hospital after he was found hanging at his home in South Ockendon on 21 August, 2014. An inquest in Chelmsford heard he had been speaking about the death of Mr Williams just days before his death. A verdict of accidental death was recorded. Area Coroner for Essex Eleanor McGann said it seemed he was trying to work out how Mr Williams had died 10 days beforehand and it went "horribly wrong". He was a "happy boy" and his death was a "tragic accident", she said. After the hearing, Temidayo's father Vincent said: "He was a very good boy, with a very good character. We don't know what happened. "I loved him so much, I have lost a good friend." It was the kind of game in which it is difficult to pick out much of a pattern of how either side will look to play, but it did offer a few clues as to how they are shaping up. Both teams will need to be better defensively than they were last season if they are to have any aspirations of winning the title this time around and, if you were to just go off Sunday's game, that does not appear to be the case. But I have been involved in plenty of matches like that myself, where your tactics end up going out of the window as what starts out as a tight and technical battle ends up wide open with both teams going toe to toe on the attack. They are exciting to be involved in and to watch, but they are not always a true reflection of a team and, in this case, I don't think it showed us how Arsenal or Liverpool will defend this season. Media playback is not supported on this device What we saw was how strong Liverpool now look from an attacking perspective and, like Arsenal, they are going to score a lot of goals this season. The other thing that impressed me about the Gunners was the character they displayed. At 4-1 down, things looked pretty bleak and the fans were on their backs, but they responded pretty well. They did not pull it back to 4-4 but they made the scoreline respectable, rather than it being an embarrassment. Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal turned the tables on Liverpool in the first half by pressing them high up the pitch, and it worked - that is how they got their opening goal. But the Gunners fell apart at the start of the second half and the easy option would be to put that down to their young centre-halves, Calum Chambers and Rob Holding, who were playing because of injuries to Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker and Gabriel. Of course they missed their first-choice defenders, every team would, but I think it is unfair to completely blame Chambers and Holding for their defeat, mainly because they were not that bad. With Liverpool's attacking players running at them from all angles the way they did, it would have been a tough game for any defence. For Chambers and Holding, it was not just their inexperience that made it hard for them as much as the fact they had never played together in a competitive game before. The only positions I genuinely think need a relationship are centre-halves. Yes, you could say the same about players who are up front together but, while you might not score as many goals if you don't have an understanding, it is not going to cost you goals. At the back, it can cost you the game if you are unsure of who is doing what. Liverpool also had issues defensively, mainly involving their left-back Alberto Moreno, who gave away the penalty Arsenal missed and was also at fault for their first goal. Moreno was probably lucky the game went the way it did, because otherwise there would be far more focus on him. But we should remember that their whole team played pretty poorly in the first half, not just him. They came out in the second half and decided to go for it, and were very clinical. They stuck away every chance they had. Arsenal had the same approach when they put Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Santi Cazorla on after an hour, threw everything at Liverpool and pulled a couple of goals back. Liverpool wanted to defend and protect what they had but they could not ignore the opportunities they were getting at the other end and had to keep on attacking, which made it such an exciting game. When they did come forward, they looked like a real force and another plus for Jurgen Klopp is the depth in his squad that allowed him to bring Emre Can and Divock Origi off the bench in the second half. I have tipped Liverpool to finish in the top four, and this performance was an example of why I think they will make it. It is no disgrace to be beaten by them, because they will beat a lot of top teams this year. Arsenal fans were clearly disappointed by the result but I think they will have to accept that, while they are going to win a lot of games this year, they are also probably going to lose more than usual because the Premier League is getting stronger and the number of sides challenging for the Champions League places has increased. What does not help the Gunners at present is that, out of all the leading English clubs, they are the only ones where, if they go behind like they did on Sunday, some of their supporters turn on the manager. In some ways, Wenger has made a rod for his own back there because some of their fans see their team's problems as being very obvious and avoidable, and down to him. Their injuries at centre-half are the latest example, because the fans want to know why experienced cover has not been brought in, and it is the same with their lack of an out-and-out striker as back-up to Olivier Giroud, that meant Alexis Sanchez played down the middle against Liverpool. I do sympathise with the way the Arsenal supporters feel but, if that is going to be how they react to setbacks all season, it will have an effect on the team. It is especially obvious because of the positivity that fans of the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and both Manchester clubs have about their managers right now. Arsenal's players - and Wenger - will have to keep dealing with it the way they did on Sunday, but I suppose it is nothing new to them, because it has been happening for the past three or four seasons. Jermaine Jenas was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. The result preserved Bradford's unbeaten home record but they had to settle for a point against a Charlton team who played the four minutes of stoppage time with 10 men after defender Patrick Bauer was sent off for a second yellow card. In the first meeting of the clubs since they were both in the Premier League 15 years ago, Charlton gave the Bradford a defence a torrid time in the first half, hitting the post, seeing a shot cleared off the line and having a penalty appeal turned down. The penalty appeal came in the ninth minute as Bradford defender Nathaniel Knight-Percival wrestled for the ball with the visitors' dangerous Northern Ireland international striker Josh Magennis. Three minutes later Magennis saw his angled shot hit the far post and rebound to safety after running on to a pass from strike partner Nicky Ajose, while he also had a shot cleared off the line by Bradford right-back Stephen Darby after taking a pass from Lee Novak. Bradford's best first-half chance was in the 37th minute when Nicky Law supplied a through pass for Jordy Hiwula, but goalkeeper Dillon Phillips came quickly off his line to block the shot. The home side had the better of the second half with Hiwula again having their best chance. Mark Marshall played him through on goal in the 59th minute, but he was again denied by Phillips.

Tommy Robinson and his friend had been in the London department store on Monday when they were declined help. Selfridges said the staff member was suspended for violating company policy. A spokesman said everyone was welcome in the store "regardless of political opinion". However, they said the staff member, who is expected to return to the shop floor this week, would not face any further action. After the incident the pair were offered a complimentary meal. The spokesman said: "If something happens against company policy you need to investigate it. "The assistant has worked for Selfridges for seven years with an unblemished record and he accepts what he did was wrong." It will be the eighth Central Belt expansion of the Aberdeen-based partnership in only five years. Three branches will be branded under the Aberdein Considine name from next month. Ireland's legal office will become the partnership's main office in the city. The combined business will employ 360 staff, with turnover of more than £21m. It offers a wide range of legal, property and financial services. A&S Ireland was founded in 1985, specialising in private client legal work, and moving into estate agency. It has two partners and 20 employees, all of whom will transfer to the expanded firm. Gavin Crowe, one of the A&S Ireland partners, indicated that one of the attractions is the scale a larger firm can bring to providing services online. "As estate agency continues to evolve in the digital age, this merger will give Glasgow clients a significant new player both online and 'on the ground'," he said. The bottle was released in the North Sea between 1904 and 1906 and found by a woman on a beach in Amrum, Germany. Inside a postcard asked that it be sent to the Marine Biological Association of the UK, where the bottle was returned. The association in Plymouth said the bottle was one of some 1,000 released as part of marine research. The research, looking at ocean currents, was carried out by George Parker Bidder, who went on to become MBA president from 1939 to 1945. Inside each bottle was a postcard that promised a shilling to anyone who returned it. An old English shilling was sent by the association to retired postal worker Marianne Winkler, who found the bottle in April during her holiday to the German island, about 310 miles (500km) away from the UK. The association said it was waiting to hear whether it was a world record for the oldest message in a bottle found. The existing world record for the oldest message in a bottle is 99 years and 43 days, found west of the Shetland Islands in July 2013. One inmate described the UK's largest women's jail in north London as "a very scary place for a first-time prisoner". Intimidation is rife and staff are hampered by the poor design of the prison. There were also reports of inappropriate behaviour by male prison officers, the inspectors found. The prison's design, which was intended to produce an atmosphere more like a hospital than a prison, was recognised as a failure in the 1980s as its lack of traditional wings or landings, and a maze of corridors, means warders have difficulty monitoring inmates'. Nigel Newcomen, deputy chief inspector of prisons, said: "Holloway remains an extremely difficult prison to run safely and effectively." Managers and staff were hampered by the "unsafe and unsatisfactory design of the prison" and "the lack of strategic direction and effective operational management within the women's prison system in general", he said. "Unless both are confronted and dealt with, Holloway will continue to drain its managers and struggle to meet the needs of the women it holds." Inspectors found 57% of women said they had felt unsafe in the prison, with bullying consistently raised as a concern, limited intervention by staff, and inmates having little confidence that these issues would be dealt with effectively if reported. Some inmates "reported unwanted attention from male staff", including concerns about "male night staff observing them through hatches", the inspectors said. Michael Spurr, Chief Executive Officer of the National Offender Management Service (Noms), said: "Holloway presents a challenging physical environment, but staff work extremely hard to provide as extensive a regime as possible." A total of 220 recommendations for improvement were made after the full unannounced inspection of the prison, which holds about 450 women, in April. The singer joins Sir Elton John, Alicia Keys, Calvin Harris and Robbie Williams on the bill at London's Roundhouse next month. The 1975, OneRepublic, Bastille, Michael Buble and Chance the Rapper will also headline the annual festival, which is now in its 10th year. The event begins on 18 September and runs to the end of the month. It will be Spears's first UK concert since 2011, when she was on her Femme Fatale tour. "I'm so excited to go back to London, which is a special place for me to visit. It's going to be a great party," she said. The announcement came as US network Lifetime confirmed it was making a two-hour biopic about the singer, to air next year. The 10 performances at the Apple Music Festival will also be made available live and on-demand to Apple Music members. "Over the past decade, the festival has brought the biggest and best artists from all over the world to London and into the homes of millions of music fans," said Apple's Oliver Schusser. "This year's Apple Music Festival builds on that incredible legacy and we couldn't be more excited to have another amazing line-up to celebrate our 10th birthday."

North Wales PCC Winston Roddick said he was responding to the "prevalence and escalation" of that type of crime. A summit on child sexual exploitation will be held in St Asaph on 14 May. He added: "I have acted after we saw from the incidents at Rotherham and other parts of the country a staggering amount of child sexual abuse." Details of the proposal are outlined in the PCC's police and crime plan. The measures, including cuts salaries, were announced last week. Many public workers have not been paid in months. On Monday the federal government froze Rio's accounts ordering the state to pay millions of dollars in unpaid debt. The demonstrators, mostly firefighters, police and prison officers, spent three hours inside the assembly chamber. During the occupation some wrecked windows, doors and offices. Assembly Speaker Jorge Picciani called the protest "an affront to the democratic rule of law unprecedented in the political history of Brazil". Both the state of the city of Rio de Janeiro have been struggling with a long-standing financial crisis because of a drop in global oil and commodity prices. Was the Olympics worth it? Who is Rio's new mayor? "Welcome to hell" The state declared a financial emergency ahead of the Rio Olympics earlier this year saying it did not have the funds to provide security for the Games and to finish a metro line. Governor Luiz Fernando Pezao said that unless the austerity measures were approved by the state assembly, he could not guarantee that workers would receive their full salaries next year. With tax revenues dropping, Rio has already made sharp budget cuts. Mr Pezao said he would travel to the capital Brasilia to negotiate with the federal government. The messages appeared on the account of Andy Bell, a vice-president of Carlisle United, on Tuesday but were soon deleted. Mr Bell claimed his Twitter account had been hacked. The club branded them "disrespectful" while the official supporters' club called on him to provide evidence he had been targeted. They were published on the same day the Hillsborough inquests ruled the 96 people were unlawfully killed in the stadium tragedy in April 1989 as Liverpool took on Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final. The first message read: "Don't mention the Heysel Stadium disaster!" - a reference to the deaths of 39 people in Belgium in 1985 in the build-up to the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus. Minutes later, a second said: "Were you involved in a stadium disaster that wasn't your fault? Call us now and get the compo you deserve!" In a statement published on the club website, Mr Bell said "it appears severing ties will help preserve the positive reputation that Carlisle United have forged in the local and wider community." Describing it as a "difficult decision", he added he would withdraw his business's sponsorship of the club at the end of the season while remaining a fan. He has now deactivated his account. Carlisle United Official Supporters' Club had described it as a "sick incident" while the club said it in "no way supported or condoned" the messages. Arlene, 15, was last seen being driven away by Howard in the early hours of the morning after attending a disco in Bundoran, County Donegal in 1994. Patricia Quinn denied she was in a relationship with Howard and said they were just friends. However, under questioning, she said he slept in her bed when he stayed over. She told Belfast Coroners Court: "He wasn't interested in me. He was interested in young girls in uniforms." Ms Quinn's daughter, Donna, had been friends with Arlene since they were young children. On the night in 1994 that the teenager disappeared she had been to a disco in Bundoran with Donna Quinn, her boyfriend and Robert Howard. Arlene's body has never been found. Howard has always been the prime suspect in the case despite being acquitted in 2005. At the time the jury were not told he was already serving a life sentence for the murder of Kent teenager Hannah Williams. The 71-year-old died in prison last year. Starting the third day on 140-2, the Black Caps were 419 runs behind after David Warner hit 253 for the hosts. Taylor almost matched the Aussie's tally, hitting an unbeaten 235 as his side reached 510-6, 49 runs behind. Kane Williamson scored 166 - his fourth century this year - and shared a third-wicket partnership of 265 with Taylor. The pair took their side to 352 before Australia finally made a breakthrough, with Josh Hazlewood snaring Williamson, caught by Mitchell Johnson at mid-on. Following Williamson's departure, Brendon McCullum contributed 27 runs to an 80-run partnership with Taylor before being bowled by Mitchell Marsh. BJ Watling (one) and Doug Bracewell (12) also came and went as Australia responded in the evening session, but Taylor remained unmoved, passing his previous best Test score of 217 and reaching 5,000 Test runs in the process. Australia, who lead the three-match series 1-0, look set to be without batsman Usman Khawaja for the final Test in Adelaide after he injured a hamstring. 4 February 2015 Last updated at 18:09 GMT Parts of Hokkaido in Japan were covered in snow as deep as 1.8 metres high after a massive winter storm hit the area. In a small place called Rausu Town some people's houses were completely submerged in snow and could not leave their homes for days. Some of Japan's soldiers have been to help clear the snow from houses and roads in the worst affected areas. Around 200 schools have closed in the area, and 100 train services have stopped. No-one has been seriously hurt because of the bad weather, and roads are beginning to re-open again. The agreements cover a range of industries including renewable energy, the financial sector and ports. "Let us work together in mutual interests," said Mr Modi. "Now India is ready for business." On Friday, more agreements worth $10bn (£6.3bn) covering education, railways, and scientific research were signed. On Friday, Mr Modi held talks with China's Premier Li Keqiang and both sides agreed to seek a "fair resolution" to disputes on their common border. China rejects a 1914 border agreement signed by the British colonial authorities with Tibet, establishing a de-facto boundary. Both have claims on various parts of each other's territories, including an Indian-administered area known as Zangnan or South Tibet in China which is considered part of Arunachal Pradesh state in India. Mr Modi said at a news conference that he and Mr Li had agreed to explore a "fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable resolution" to the issue. Mr Li said the two countries had "enough political wisdom to manage and control" differences. Both these Asian giants are talking up the need for greater co-operation following decades of mistrust. And the economy is one area they can agree upon. But for all talk of co-operation, China and India remain fierce rivals. A solution for a decades-long border dispute is nowhere in sight. And increasingly the two nations are vying for regional influence which could lead to a fresh round of tensions. On Friday, Mr Modi also met Zhang Dejiang, the chairman of the National People's Congress standing committee. A statement by China's foreign affairs ministry reported Mr Xi as saying to Mr Modi that their two countries "must work together to enhance mutual trust, control our differences and problems to avoid them interfering with bilateral relations". The easing of sanctions is part of a crucial nuclear deal brokered in 2015 under then-President Barack Obama with five other world powers. Mr Trump has described the landmark agreement as the "worst deal ever". However, the US Treasury issued fresh sanctions against specific officials and a Chinese business with links to Iran's missile programme. The move means that sanctions preventing any US companies selling to or dealing with Iran will remain suspended for the time being. In return, Iran has pledged to restrict its nuclear activities, reducing its uranium enrichment, plutonium production plans, and allowing inspectors access to facilities. The new sanctions from the Treasury are much more specific in scope, targeting two senior Iranian defence officials and suppliers of missile equipment, in apparent retaliation for a recent missile test, and for Iran's support of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. US citizens and entities are now banned from dealing with the officials and companies involved. However, the White House stopped short of failing to renew the waivers on more widespread sanctions, which are not permanent and were due to expire this week. This is the first time Mr Trump has been faced with the issue, after former President Obama renewed the agreement shortly before he left office. Mr Trump has consistently warned Iran over its missile activity, and has criticised the terms of the deal made by Mr Obama - at one point claiming his "number one priority" if elected would be "to dismantle the disastrous deal". But the other nations involved in the agreement - including China, Russia, and the UK - believe it is the best way to prevent Iran getting a nuclear weapon. Since Mr Trump's inauguration, his administration has also continued to certify to Congress that Iran is upholding its part of the deal, which it must do every 90 days. But in April, Mr Trump ordered a wider review of the nuclear deal, and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Iran "remains a leading state sponsor of terror, through many platforms and methods". Tehran, however, has always argued it has no nuclear weapon ambitions and is using nuclear technology for energy purposes.

The 1.1kg (2.4lb) chunk of whale vomit, known as ambergris and used mainly in perfume, sold to a phone bidder in France on Friday - exceeding the estimated price of up to £7,000. Auctioneer Adam Partridge said he was "elated" at the sale, in Macclesfield. "Somebody brought this smelly waxy rugby ball-shaped lump to us and asked us to sell it for them," he added. "There are many things which can be mistaken for ambergris - fat, rubber and palm oil amongst others - but after doing some research and consulting the authorities on such things, we found out that what we had was indeed very valuable. "We've had lots of unusual items pass through the doors over the years, but this is by far the weirdest." Large amounts of horsemeat were found in some burger samples manufactured at the Silvercrest plant in County Monaghan, which supplied Aldi Ireland. Both Tesco and the Co-op have already dropped Silvercrest as a meat supplier. Aldi UK has suspended its contract with British firm Dalepak after traces of horse DNA were found in its burgers. Both Dalepak - based near Northallerton in North Yorkshire - and Silvercrest are part of the ABP Food Group. Further tests are under way at Dalepak, which supplies Aldi's UK stores. In Ireland, Aldi sold a Bord Bia (Irish Food Board) approved Oakhurst 100% Irish beefburger eight pack, which has been withdrawn from sale. In a statement, Aldi Ireland said it was necessary to terminate its contract with Silvercrest "due to a serious breach of contract". "An internal Aldi investigation into the matter is ongoing," it said. In the UK, three Aldi burger products - frozen Oakhurst 100% beef quarterpounders, frozen specially-selected Aberdeen Angus quarterpounders and frozen Oakhurst beefburgers (16 pack) - were withdrawn when the horsemeat discovery was made public. Aldi UK said it commissioned its own "independent DNA testing" of products produced by the Dalepak factory. Three samples of each burger types were tested. Aldi found that, in one of sample taken from each burger type, a 0.1% trace of either pig or horse DNA was found. A spokesman for the chain said: "We are deeply angry and feel let down by our supplier and we are pursuing more tests [at Dalepak] until we are certain that we understand how the production line was contaminated." Meanwhile, Burger King has said "very small trace levels of equine DNA" were found in four samples of meat for its burgers taken at the Silvercrest plant. But the fast food giant said this product was not sold to its sites and tests on food at its restaurants found no equine DNA. Burger King announced last week that it would stop using Silvercrest products as a precaution. It said it had now dropped Silvercrest as a supplier, as it had provided the fast food giant with a "small percentage of beef imported from a non-approved supplier in Poland... the same company identified by the Irish Department of Agriculture as the source of Silvercrest's contamination issue." It said Silvercrest's failure to deliver 100% British and Irish beef patties was a "clear violation of our specifications" and in breach of its contract. On Wednesday, the Co-operative Group revealed independent tests of its own-brand burgers supplied by Silvercrest found traces of less than 1% horse DNA in three samples, and more than 17% in one sample. The affected products have been withdrawn from sale, and the Co-Op followed Tesco in "delisting" Silvercrest as a frozen burger supplier. The latest developments come after revelations earlier this month that Irish food inspectors had found almost 30% horsemeat in one brand of burgers sold by Tesco. Traces of both horse and pig DNA were also found in frozen value beefburgers sold by Iceland, Lidl and Aldi and Dunnes. On Wednesday, the UK Food Standards Agency said that food standards authorities in the Irish Republic were certain that horsemeat found in the beefburgers came from Poland. The star was among people evacuated from the Scottish Event Campus' (SEC) Armadillo on Saturday evening. In a tweet he said there was "smoke bellowing from the back of the venue". The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said they were called to a small fire at around 18:00 but it later spread to external cladding. They added that no one was hurt in the incident. Firefighters were on the scene of the fire until about 22:30. Both Mr Watson and the SEC later took to social media to confirm that the concert had been cancelled. The singer said ticket holders would be contacted by the venue. Mr Watson went on to thank the fire crews involved in extinguishing the blaze. In a tweet to one of the firefighters, he said: "Well done to u and your team for dousing the flames at the SECC today! We all appreciate the job the fire service does x" It is understood that Bob Dylan's gig at the venue will go ahead as planned on Sunday. The 23-year-old, who scored a try in the win, had surgery on Saturday. "It's not great for him," director of rugby Richard Cockerill said. He is the second Tigers pivot to fracture his jaw this season, Freddie Burns having suffered a similar injury in October. Flanker Brendan O'Connor also faces up to six weeks out with a hamstring tear suffered in the win at Welford Road. Williams' injury is a blow to any hopes he has of a Wales call-up for the 2016 Six Nations. Not only are we facing the top three nations in the world - United States, Germany and France - in the first SheBelieves Cup, but there is also potential for even greater significance. Firstly, I am on 98 caps so there is a chance that I could reach a very proud milestone. And because we are the only nation competing not to appear at the Rio Olympics in August, it means this is the biggest international tournament of our season. After our third place in Canada we are ranked fifth in the world so if you were basing the SheBelieves Cup on rankings alone, then, realistically, we could come back with three straight defeats. Yet if we can win it, then it will send a huge message to the rest of the world that we belong in this company. It's a challenge the players and manager Mark Sampson will embrace. Although we beat Germany at the World Cup, I'm not sure we are quite there yet, based on the fact that we don't play the top teams consistently enough. Take that third-place play-off out of the equation and the two teams we lost to in Canada - France and Japan - were both ranked above us. So this is an important stepping stone. Any win at this tournament will be a massive one for us and it's important that we play against nations like this on a regular basis. That is the only way we will be better prepared to win major tournaments in the future. My only regret is that we won't be joining our competitors in the football Mecca of Rio this summer. The home nations couldn't agree on sending a Great Britain team but if we worked it out for the London Olympics, I can't understand why it can't be resolved for the Rio Olympics too, even if it means the team has a proportional number of players from each nation. The Olympics is a huge tournament in the international women's football calendar and competing in Brazil is all about giving players the opportunity to attend the biggest sporting event in the world. It's just a shame that politics has got in the way. For me, that should never prevent the joy of playing football. Media playback is not supported on this device The coming season might not involve the pressure of being picked for a major tournament - only the second time since the Women's Super League began in 2011 - but after last season I am a lot more comfortable in how I handle myself when it comes to selections. With Chelsea we won the WSL and the FA Cup, and I was selected for an England team which finished third at the World Cup for the first time. Maybe it was because of all we achieved that I've learnt not to put too much pressure on myself. All I can do is perform, the rest is out of my control. I've been in the England squad 11 years now and it has been challenging at times, but from nowhere I am now two caps short of 100. If I'm honest, I never ever thought I would get this far. That's not an indictment of my ability but more to do with the life as an international footballer. All you are looking at is making the next squad. Then the next, and so on. You can never look too far ahead. My managers - Hope Powell and Mark Sampson - have always challenged me and it's been tough at times, but it was only when Jill Scott recently reached 100 caps in China, that I started to think about it. When England players reach that milestone, they usually do a speech and having grown up in the England team alongside Jill, a lot of what she said resonated with me. It was very touching. I don't want to talk about it too much until it's happened, whether it's in America or at a later date, but I'm proud of what I've achieved so far and hope there is plenty more to come. I'm not the only one facing a potential landmark in the US, my England team-mate Fara Williams is also two caps short of reaching 150. She is England's most capped player - men or women - and a real leader in the team, which is a quality raised in debates about the most open Premier League title race in years. Former Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness was among those who questioned Arsenal's appetite for a genuine title challenge because they lacked leaders, and compared them to the Invincibles side which comprised the likes of Patrick Vieira, Emmanuel Petit and Thierry Henry. Souness believes that there is no-one in the current Gunners team that can really shake them up when they need it most - as we saw when they lost at Manchester United last Sunday. There is also an argument to say we are losing that quality a little bit when you see the likes of Liverpool without Steven Gerrard, or Chelsea without Frank Lampard, and come the end of the season, potentially John Terry. I'm still not sure why Liverpool let Gerrard go, he had something you cannot buy: he wasn't just a leader in the team, but a huge part of the club's culture with a long-established relationship with fans. Leadership is huge thing to me, but it's not just about screaming and shouting. It's about leading by example, conducting yourself in the right manner after defeat or speaking up when the dressing room is silent. Leadership can bring a team together, and in the England set-up we have many leaders who can galvanise us. The ability to be open and honest with each other was one of the qualities that helped us succeed last summer in Canada, and hopefully it can lead us success in the United States over the next week too. England and Chelsea forward Eniola Aluko was speaking to BBC Sport's Alistair Magowan Tony Little said clever children who never had difficulties needed to have the resilience for struggles of adult life. He said schools should help young people learn from the "experience of failure". Mr Little said children needed to find out how to "bounce back". Speaking at the Global Education and Skills Forum about young people's well-being, he said he was concerned by pupils leaving school who had never seemed to have struggled. "The only ones who worried me, as I shook hands and said my farewells, were the boys and girls who had gilded school experiences. "The golden schoolchildren, for whom it had been very straightforward, always good at exams, always popular, always found the flow easy to deal with. "They never really had anything significant to bump up against," said Mr Little, who is now chief academic officer of the GEMS international education group. "I think it behoves all great schools to make sure all their children fail. "Not just have the experience of failure, but of course within a supportive context, to learn from that experience of failure." There have been concerns about a rise in young people with mental health problems and growing interest in schools teaching ideas such as well-being. Mr Little said that schools needed to think about what they celebrated. There could also be lessons from sport. "It's not the fact of being dropped from the sports team, it's how that is dealt with, how young people are enabled to bounce back and find their way to regain that level or even higher," he said. There were also warnings that education systems needed to focus on more than exams and academic success - and to think about emotional well-being. "The education system did a great job in the past to focus on the top six inches of our head but we need to address the needs of students a little lower - the heart - to teach children about their emotional and social happiness," said Abdulla Al Karam, director general of Dubai's knowledge and human development authority. But when pressed for an answer on Donald Trump's controversial refugee ban she first of all, uncomfortably, avoided the question. Then on the third time of asking she would only say that on the United States policy on refugees it was for the US. Her refusal to comment was immediately condemned by the former Labour leader, Ed Miliband, who said it was shocking and wrong. The UN has expressed dismay and France and Germany have reported concerns. Downing Street had been delighted with its visit to Washington. But the PM returns to a row over her refusal to give her view. Having boasted that the virtue of the special relationship is that friends can be candid with each other, Theresa May's silence on President Trump's executive order will raise suspicion that in fact, as the junior partner, she is unwilling to speak her mind. Directed by Maren Ade, Toni Erdmann premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and is Germany's official candidate for next year's foreign film Oscar. American coming-of-age story Moonlight and adult drama Elle came next in Sight & Sound's Films of the Year poll. Last year's winner was The Assassin, by Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien. Toni Erdmann, which will be released in the UK on 3 February, is one of three films with female directors to make this year's top five. The others are Certain Women, a triptych of tales from US director Kelly Reichardt, and Andrea Arnold's road movie American Honey. Nick James, Sight & Sound's editor, expressed delight that the poll "recognises the talent of women directors at the top of the art form". Ken Loach's I, Daniel Blake, which won the veteran British film-maker his second Palme d'Or at Cannes, came sixth in the poll. Oscar-tipped Manchester by the Sea - named the National Board of Review's best film of 2016 earlier this week - is ranked seventh. According to the British Film Institute (BFI), publisher of Sight & Sound, the results represent "a small triumph for diversity".

The Eagle will be shown in Achiltibuie in the Screen Machine, a mobile cinema. Universal Pictures have paid for the screenings of the feature which is set in Roman-era Britain and directed by Scotsman Kevin Macdonald. Scenes were shot around Achiltibuie and Old Dornie, near Ullapool. Locals also had roles as extras. Ron Inglis, of the Screen Machine, said the cinema would be making its first visit to Achiltibuie when it sets up in the community on Thursday. Two evening showings were fully booked and an extra screening would be available on a first come, first served basis at 1400 GMT. On UK release from 25 March, the film follows a young Roman's attempt to honour his father's memory by finding the standard of his lost legion. It stars Donald Sutherland, Channing Tatum, Mark Strong and Jamie Bell and is an adaption of a book by Rosemary Sutcliff. She was attacked after being forced into an alleyway off Borough Road, near to Tranmere Rovers' stadium in Wirral, at about 05:30 BST on 28 September. The man ran off and she sought help at a nearby house. Police were contacted after she went to hospital for treatment. CCTV images have been released of a man who police want to speak to as part of their investigation. The woman had shared a taxi to Wirral from Liverpool city centre with a friend and a man she did not know, police said. Her friend got out at Whetstone Lane, Birkenhead, before the woman and the man got out in Borough Road to use a cash machine. She was then forced into an alleyway where she was attacked, police said. Fulham's victory over Aston Villa in the early kick-off was enough to put a top-six finish out of Norwich's reach with three games remaining. Josh Murphy pounced to put Norwich 2-0 up after Graham Dorrans' deflected finish had opened the scoring. Thomas Spurr pulled one back, only for James Maddison to add a third late on. Defeat also put Preston out of top-six contention as they fell two points behind Norwich - a side they have failed to finish above in the English football pyramid since the 2009-10 season, when the Canaries won promotion from League One as champions and the Lillywhites finished 17th in the Championship. Dorrans gave the visitors the advantage with a 25-yard strike that took a slight deflection on its way to beating Preston goalkeeper Chris Maxwell to find the bottom corner. A flicked pass back from Cameron Jerome allowed Murphy time to pick his spot and double the lead before the break, while Aiden McGeady went closest to hitting back before half-time with powerfully struck shot wide. Both sides had chances after the break and Spurr gave Preston hope, heading home from Paul Gallagher's free-kick, before the hosts twice threatened to level as John Ruddy foiled Tom Barkhuizen and Paul Huntington headed wide. Maddison, however, put the result beyond doubt with his first senior goal for the club. Preston manager Simon Grayson: "We left ourselves too much to do after the first half. We started well for the first few minutes but after that we were a shadow of ourselves. "We didn't have any energy about us; we didn't stop the opposition from playing and they have some very talented players. "Half-time is the angriest I've been for a long time. I said to the players we want to finish the season strongly, and it's a real disappointment because I don't want to finish the season with that kind of performance. Three games to go and we need to do something about it." Norwich caretaker manager Alan Irvine: "I thought it was a really good performance but we could even have had more goals in the first half which would have killed the game off. "Thankfully we got the third goal just before the end. "I like playing gifted, talented, attacking players. We try to get as many out there as we can without having an unbalanced team. I thought to a man the players did really well today." Match ends, Preston North End 1, Norwich City 3. Second Half ends, Preston North End 1, Norwich City 3. Foul by James Maddison (Norwich City).

In future, the SDF will, in principle, be able to assist the forces of a foreign country in situations where either the survival and security of Japan or that of its citizens is at risk. The new interpretation is highly controversial since it represents a sharp departure from the post-war political consensus, codified in Article 9 of the Japanese constitution, that explicitly limits Japan's use of military force exclusively to the defence of its sovereign territory and its people. Such has been the strength of post-war Japanese pacifist sentiment, and notwithstanding the long-term alliance with the United States, that Japan's defence forces have been unable to extend their military collaboration with their US allies beyond this narrowly circumscribed role. Under the new provisions, there are now a range of scenarios in which this type of joint defence activity might be expanded. Examples include providing defensive support to US forces under attack in the vicinity of Japan, co-operating militarily with US forces to safeguard Japanese citizens at risk overseas, participating in minesweeping activities during a time of war, or deploying Japanese forces to protect access to energy supplies or critically important sea-lanes of communication vital to Japan's survival. Indeed, in theory, the new interpretation will allow Japan to co-operate with any foreign country with which it has "close ties", thereby substantially expanding the scope for military co-operation with different countries and beyond the narrow remit of the defence of Japanese territory. Opinion in Japan is divided on the merits of this change, with 50%, according to a recent Nikkei poll, opposing the new interpretation and 34% supporting it. The motives for opposition are mixed, in part reflecting the unresolved debate about Japan's post-war political identity, but also prompted by uncertainty regarding the long-term security objectives of the Abe administration. Progressive thinkers argue that the changes overturn the pacifist legal and interpretative conventions, established in the aftermath of World War Two, guaranteeing that Japan will never again become embroiled in foreign conflicts. Given the sensitivity and importance of these political norms, critics argue they should only be changed via constitutional amendment. While the Abe administration dominates both houses of the Japanese parliament, it is uncertain of its ability to revise the constitution rapidly and critics view the new interpretation as one of dubious political legitimacy. There is also some fear, both within Japan and amongst its closest neighbours, most notably China and South Korea, that the new interpretation is intended to allow the government to deploy troops freely in a wide-range of conflict situations. However, the Abe administration has explicitly ruled out such options and has been careful to distinguish between collective self-defence (intended to safeguard Japanese national interests and assets) and collective security - where states co-operate to protect their mutual interests in the face of foreign aggression. Mr Abe himself has made it clear that Japan's forces will not "participate in combat in wars such as the Gulf War and the Iraq War". Mr Abe appears to have a number of motives for introducing the new interpretation. It will provide Japan with much greater latitude to strengthen its military co-operation with the United States - something that Washington is keen to encourage as part of the current revision of the Joint US-Japan Defence Guidelines, unchanged since 1997. It will also open the door potentially to more active defence co-operation with other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Australia and the Philippines - both of which have welcomed these changes, as they look anxiously at China's increasingly assertive maritime posture in the South and East China seas. More generally, the new interpretation is likely to strengthen the perception that Japan has become a more "normal" state, in terms of its ability constructively to contribute to global and regional security. The political and diplomatic dividends from such a change in attitudes are likely to be considerable, potentially strengthening Japan's long-standing bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council and adding weight to Mr Abe's recently articulated strategy of making a "proactive contribution to peace". The new approach is not without risk. While Japan's mainstream political parties remain weak and divided, citizen activism in opposition to these changes may be energised, particularly at the level of local politics. Prefectural, city, town and village-based criticism of the government's approach has been vocal and may cost the government support in the spring elections of 2015. Abroad, the new measures look set to further undermine an already frayed relationship with South Korea and to heighten territorial and political tensions with China. Finally, the intentional ambiguity surrounding the details of the new interpretation provides the government with useful flexibility in deploying its forces overseas, but it also magnifies the potential for increased tactical and strategic risk at a time when regional security tensions are intensifying. For a Japanese government that has limited experience of the high-pressure challenge of national security decision-making and crisis management, this may not be an entirely positive development. John Swenson-Wright is head of the Asia Programme at Chatham House. A great first-half offered everything except a goal - with both sides keen to get the ball down and play football. The Frenchman finally broke the deadlock in a great sweeping move. Paul Dixon dashed into space down the left wing before delivering a dangerous cross that the unmarked Andreu pounced on in the box with 22 minutes left. Simon Murray had come closest for the Championship visitors in the opening 45 minutes, only to be denied by a fine stop from goalkeeper Cameron Belford. At the other end, a fantastic dipping shot from Willie Gibson was tipped over the bar by Luis Zwick at full stretch. Belford was in fine form, matching another well-placed shot from Murray right on the half-time whistle. Good work in midfield from the League One side's Gibson and Kyle Turner creating lots of opportunities in the final third but ultimately few chances in the second half. As the game continued at furious pace, both sides pushed hard to break the stalemate and on-loan Norwich City forward Andreu's decisive finish proved crucial. Dundee United forward Tony Andreu: "It was a great cross, pin-point and I didn't even have to move. "I was delighted with the header - I knew where I wanted it to go. "I'm really enjoying my football here - the lads are great and I am very happy and confident here. I think Dundee United is perfect for me." US President Barack Obama started his visit with a trip to a local school with UK Prime Minister David Cameron. They then returned to the Celtic Manor where he was greeted by Wales' First Minister Carwyn Jones. Mr Cameron said the Nato summit would give a "real boost" to Wales and be a "brilliant advertisement". The Prince of Wales, in his role as Admiral of the Fleet, will visit the Royal Navy's new Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan before hosting an event at the Celtic Manor. Earlier around 500 protesters marched from Newport city centre to the Coldra roundabout near the Celtic Manor Resort - the main venue for the two-day summit - far less than the thousands earlier predicted. Another demonstration was planned for Thursday evening, this time in Cardiff, where world leaders were to meet for a working dinner at Cardiff Castle. All Nato's 28 member countries were represented at the summit, with 4,000 delegates attending amid a security operation unprecedented in Britain. Ukraine, Afghanistan, and the future of the Nato alliance were at the top of the agenda for politicians and diplomats. Opening the first session, the Nato Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, thanked Wales for its hospitality and said "the world has truly come to Wales". On the eve of the summit Mr Cameron and President Obama said they were determined to "confront" militant group Islamic State. Downing Street said it had brought together the US president, German chancellor, French president and the Italian prime minister for a crisis meeting with Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko before the summit officially started on Thursday. The prime minister said holding such a crucial summit was a great opportunity for Wales. Mr Cameron said: "I think it's a great moment to put the best face of Wales forward - the brilliance of Welsh industry, of Welsh people - a great place to locate, a great place to come. It's going to be a brilliant advertisement for Wales. "There are lots of ways of promoting Wales and Welsh businesses and we should look at all of them, but this is one way we can give a real boost to Wales." The summit is the first time the UK has hosted a Nato summit since Margaret Thatcher was still the British leader in 1990. The event is being covered by 1,500 journalists. "The largest gathering of international leaders ever to take place in the UK is starting in our home country here and now," said Wales' First Minister Carwyn Jones. "The Nato Wales Summit is an exciting and historic moment for our country and I am confident we will shine on the world stage." The summit also marks the first time a serving US president has been to Wales. President Obama and David Cameron visited Mount Pleasant Primary School in Rogerstone, Newport, at 09:40 BST on Thursday, before joining VIPs and delegates for the official summit start. As the 22-car convoy carrying the two leaders swept into the school it was greeted with cheers by a large crowd of well-wishers. They joined a lesson both greeting children with "Bore da" - good morning in Welsh. By 08:40 BST around 500 people had gathered outside gates, waiting for President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron to arrive, many carrying Welsh and US flags. There were warnings of road congestion, especially between the Celtic Manor and central Cardiff on Thursday evening, when dinners for the visitors were being held at venues in the city. Nato police said the M4 would not be closed during the summit. Some road closures came into force in the Welsh capital on Wednesday night as the city went into "lockdown", and will remain in place until Friday evening. Cardiff Airport has set up a special terminal to welcome Nato-related arrivals, but said it was "business as usual" for other air passengers. Warships from the 28 Nato member states docked at Cardiff Bay in advance of the summit. The Prince of Wales - Admiral of the Fleet - will visit the Royal Navy's new Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan there on Thursday afternoon before hosting a reception at the Celtic Manor. Nearly 10,000 police officers from 43 forces across England and Wales are on duty as part of a major security operation. Steel fences surround the Celtic Manor and Cardiff city centre venues involved in the summit. Around 100 campaigners set up a peace camp in Tredegar Park on the western outskirts of Newport, while a number of other groups have spoken of plans to stage protests during the summit. Owner Intu said it plans to spend £114m on changes to almost half of the 55,000 sq m site, which will include more restaurants, cafes and a cinema. The company, which also owns the nearby Victoria Centre, said it would create 2,200 jobs once complete, plus hundreds during construction. No date for when work will start has been announced. Plans to improve the 1970s shopping centre have repeatedly been submitted and approved over the past 15 years but no work has been carried out. The latest proposed changes would see some demolition and rebuilding work with an overall reduction of shopping in favour of food and drink areas and a cinema. Adam Tamsett, centre manager, said: "We are pleased that Nottingham City Council has awarded planning permission for what is undoubtedly a very important scheme for the city. "We will review the decision of the planning committee and we look forward to working with the city council to move the project forward." Plans for the Broadmarsh refurbishment have been criticised for replicating what is already on offer elsewhere in the city. However, councillor Nick McDonald, who is responsible for jobs, growth and transport at the city council, said the centre would bring more people into the city. He said: "Retail is changing, and the way in which we attract people into cities is changing. "We think the development is a bonus for the city and we need to get behind it and make sure it happens as quickly as possible." Andrew Salt, 22, who has been described as being in a fragile mental state, was dropped off in Portsmouth on Monday. He said he was going to visit a friend but failed to return home the next day. Brittany Ferries have confirmed he travelled to the port of St Malo. His mother, who is now in France, called his actions "totally out of character". Mr Salt had his passport and £25 in cash but did not take his wallet or mobile phone when he boarded the ferry. Relatives said they have no idea why he has travelled to the country but said he may be in a vulnerable state. Hampshire Police have sent a missing person's report to their French counterparts and the British Embassy has been informed. French police have confirmed they are investigating the matter. Mr Salt's mother, who lives in Widley in Portsmouth, has travelled to St Malo with his grandmother, in an attempt to find him. The hosts went in front through Harry Cardwell's close-range effort after half an hour. But Northern Ireland created plenty of late chances, with Fra Nolan's superb strike pulling them level after he had gone close on two previous occasions. Substitute Daniel Reynolds fired in the winner for the visitors with less than five minutes remaining. "I thought at 1-1 we would see the game out," home boss Martin Cassidy told BBC Radio Jersey. "I'm just disappointed for the players, they put so much in and deserved a draw at least. "We gave them a game plan to stick to and they delivered it perfectly." The Northern Irish squad, who visit the Channel Islands annually as part of their preparations for the Centenary Shield tournament, had found themselves behind when Cardwell stabbed the ball into the roof of the net. Jersey's Evan Nobes then had an effort well saved by Declan Dunne, while at the other end Ryan Strain's deflected strike was comfortably held by Euan van der Vliet. After the break Max Thompson fired over the bar at the end of neat Jersey counter-attack, but it was Northern Ireland who dominated as the half wore on. Nolan's curling shot went wide, then he volleyed over from 10 yards out, before eventually finding his range in style to fire home the equaliser with just under quarter-of-an-hour to go. The chances kept coming for the visitors, with Reynolds amongst those to squander opportunities before he smashed in the winner with time ticking away. "It was a fantastic exercise for us," said Northern Ireland boss Frank Wilson. "It gives us a chance to get four days with our boys to try and make them into a team because the Centenary Shield is fast approaching. "Tonight was a very difficult game, we were very frustrated - we had the lion's share of possession but Jersey had done their homework on us." The game came just 48 hours after the same Northern Ireland squad were 3-1 winners over Jersey's Under-18s. Fifa fined the national associations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales for displaying poppies at World Cup qualifiers around Armistice Day. World football's governing body prohibits political, religious or commercial messages on shirts. Scotland lost 3-0 to England on 11 November and the SFA was fined 20,000 Sfr (£15,694). In a statement on Thursday, the SFA said: "We have received written reasons from Fifa's Disciplinary Committee relating to the sanction imposed for commemorating Remembrance Day during the England v Scotland World Cup Qualifier on November 11, 2016. "Having considered those reasons in full, we have informed Fifa of our intention to appeal the decision." The left-back played his normal role in the defeat in Slovakia, right-back in the win over Slovenia and centre-back in Saturday's 2-2 draw with England. "Being told you are playing centre-back and you have not done it too many times, it's hard," Tierney said. "It's a new challenge, like when I was right-back, but I like new challenges." Celtic's Tierney played alongside Christophe Berra and Charlie Mulgrew as part of a back three on Saturday at Hampden, head coach Gordon Strachan having adopted a new approach against the unbeaten Group F leaders. The Scotland defence was breached by second-half substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain before two Leigh Griffiths free-kicks in 87 and 90 minutes had the hosts on the brink of an unlikely win. England skipper Harry Kane, however, ensured the points were shared with a stoppage-time equaliser. Tierney was solid in his new role and made one goal-line clearance from the England captain. "I tried to do my best," said the 20-year-old. "The last five minutes was a roller-coaster - obviously Griff's great two free-kicks and the sucker punch at the end, which left us gutted. "But I think we can be proud of the effort we put in." The draw felt like a defeat to Tierney due to the timing of Kane's strike, but he said time may change his perception of a result that left Scotland six points behind leaders England, three behind Slovenia and four behind Slovakia with four fixtures remaining. "I hope it is the case because the boys put everything into it," Tierney said. "We trained all week and everyone in the squad gave 100% against England, so it was good that way. "We will get on with it and look forward to the remaining games in the group." Wales have lost all three of the games they have played in their current second strip of grey and charcoal hoops with a green detail - including both of their defeats in Euro 2016. And although it may seem unlikely that a group of professional footballers would allow themselves to be unnerved by such a quirk, Wales do appear to be spooked by their unlucky away kit. The Euro semi-finalists might have to don the unwanted shirt again on Thursday for their World Cup qualifier away against Austria, whose red home strip clashes with Wales' usual colour. "I am not sure if they [Austria] will play in red or white, but I can tell you no-one wants to wear our grey kit. I will be happy if I never see that kit again," says Coleman. "The red kit is the kit that we will always want to play in, we love being in the red. "In years gone by I would have said to you that players do not care what kit they wear, but they do." Coleman smiles at this point, but his admission is a startling one. Welsh football is at an all-time high following the national team's run to a first major tournament semi-final in France earlier this year. Yet there is a brittle apprehension among the players about swapping their familiar red shirts for the unlucky grey. Wales lost their first game in the shirt - a 1-0 friendly defeat in Ukraine in March - and they were beaten by England when they wore it for the first time at Euro 2016. Russia allowed them to wear red for their pivotal final group game, which Wales won handsomely, and they stayed in their home kit for the knockout victories over Northern Ireland and Belgium. However, semi-final opponents Portugal decided Coleman's men would wear grey for their encounter - and the curse struck again. "Portugal made us wear the away kit in the semi-final in the Euros, even though they were in their own away kit," Coleman adds. "Russia thankfully allowed us to wear red when we beat them, but they could have made us wear grey." With Wales likely to wear grey again in Austria, the game in Vienna could provide the chance to end their away kit hoodoo. It may seem a trivial matter, but Coleman thinks Austria might try to exploit a potential Welsh weakness. "If you are Austrian it is something you would look at, if you know the opposition prefer playing in a certain colour," he says. "The players will talk about it, the Austrians will know about it, they should know about it. "If we have to wear it we have to deal with it, but ideally we will be in red." The man's body was found in Lurgan Park in Lurgan on Friday morning. Police say they are treating his death as suspicious. The man has not yet been identified. Police are investigating the circumstances of his death. Lurgan Park has been closed while investigations take place. They avoided going to the poor neighbourhood of Ajaccio where Friday's attack happened, instead rallying in other areas of the regional capital. The prayer hall was raided by crowds in apparent retaliation for an attack on firefighters a day earlier. Previous marches had seen participants shout: "Arabs get out!" Some protesters blamed local Arab residents for the attack on the firefighters. The French government condemned both the protests that followed and the anti-Muslim attack. On Sunday, the demonstrators marched through several neighbourhoods in Ajaccio, but did not go to the Jardins de l'Empereur area - the scene of Friday's attack. The authorities earlier announced a ban on all gatherings in the flashpoint area until at least 4 January. The protesters rejected accusations that their rally was racist, chanting: "We fight against scum, not against Arabs!" and "We aren't thugs, we aren't racists!" Police were deployed around the Jardins de l'Empereur, home to many immigrants, to prevent any clashes. Friday's attack followed a solidarity rally with firefighters in Ajaccio. But some protesters then attacked the Muslim prayer room, ransacking it and partially burning books - including copies of the Koran. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the attack was "an unacceptable desecration". The French Council of the Muslim Faith also denounced the violence. In Thursday's incident, the firefighters were ambushed by unidentified "hooded youths" with iron bars and baseball bats, French media report. Two firefighters and a police officers were injured. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve pledged that the perpetrators of both the attack on the emergency services and the Muslim prayer hall would be identified and arrested. Mr Cazeneuve also stressed that there was no place for "racism and xenophobia" in France. France has beefed up security measures for the Christmas holidays, following the 13 November attacks in Paris by Islamic militants that left 130 people dead. Sylvia and Peter Stuart were reported missing on Friday. The same day the body of Mr Stuart, 75, was found near his home in Suffolk. Ali Qazimaj, 42, who is wanted over the murder and disappearance, is thought to have boarded a ferry to France. Police "strongly believe" Mr Qazimaj will help them find Mrs Stuart. Detectives said they need to know more about him and revealed he uses the alias Marco Costa. It is thought he is from Kosovo and gained asylum in the UK. Mr Qazimaj's car was found near the Dover ferry terminal on Sunday, with police confirming they had received "reliable information" he had boarded a ferry unaccompanied to Calais at 19:00 BST on Saturday. Det Ch Supt Simon Parkes said: "We strongly believe that finding Ali Qazimaj will help us in locating Sylvia, who has now not been seen for nearly 10 days. "It is becoming less and less likely we will find her alive as days go by," he said. "Our enquiries continue to learn more about his roots and his links within the UK and overseas. "We urgently need anyone who knows him, who may have spent time with him over the last few weeks or before this to get in touch and tell us more about his background so that we can trace his movements." The Stuarts of Weybread, near Harleston, had spent Saturday 28 May with family and were captured on CCTV the following day at a Norfolk farm shop. Their movements between that day and when they were reported missing on Friday are not known. Mr Stuart was found dead in woodland surrounding their home on Friday evening. Det Ch Insp Parkes said efforts to find Mrs Stuart were concentrated on the UK and there was no suggestion she was involved in her husband's murder. He would not be drawn on whether her passport was missing or had been used. The couple's son-in-law, Steve Paxman, 61, of Leicester, was arrested on Sunday and released on bail on Monday night. The Rams, who sacked Paul Clement on Monday, are still without a league win in 2016 and dropped to sixth as Sheffield Wednesday beat Brentford. Having stifled Derby for much of the game, Jake Forster-Caskey netted the Dons' late winner from a free-kick. Derby's Jeff Hendrick and Chris Martin had shots saved, while Jason Shackell headed wide in a goalless first half. And the visitors rarely threatened Derby's goal until on-loan midfielder Forster-Caskey beat Scott Carson with a set-piece to lift the Dons five points above the relegation zone. Karl Robinson's side won away from home in the Championship for the first time since a 4-1 success at Rotherham on the opening day of the season, and victory on their first league visit to the iPro Stadium boosted their hopes of avoiding the drop. Wassall, previously Derby's academy director, was placed in control of the Rams' first team for the remainder of the season following Clement's surprise departure. He restored Tom Ince and Bradley Johnson - both players Clement had paid club-record fees to sign - to Derby's starting line-up. And he also changed the formation, starting with Johnny Russell up front alongside Chris Martin in a 4-4-2, but the Rams were frustrated by a resolute Dons team. Derby head coach Darren Wassall: Media playback is not supported on this device "We are disappointed with the result but we are certainly not disappointed with the performance or the attitude and application of the players. "The players in the dressing room are certainly not disappointed with their performance. I'm absolutely delighted with all of them and have been since Tuesday. "It's not the way any of us wanted to start today but we take the positives. We dominated possession and just needed a bit of luck in front of goal." MK Dons manager Karl Robinson: Media playback is not supported on this device "That's one of the best results in the club's history, away from home. "We were the underdogs today, I don't think anyone would have come here and said we would win. D "We had to relinquish our pride a little bit from what my teams are known to do but we were the paupers in this fixture today and are not as good to an extent on paper as Derby County." The relatives of Sheku Bayoh met Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland in Edinburgh. Mr Bayoh died after being detained by officers called to an incident in Hayfield Road in Kirkcaldy on 3 May. A statement from the family said they believed the lord advocate was determined to hold a robust, independent and transparent inquiry Following the meeting, the Crown Office released a statement on behalf of the lord advocate. It said: "The lord advocate today met with the family of Sheku Bayoh and updated them on the progress being made and the next steps for the investigation into his death. "It comes after the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC) submitted their interim report earlier this month. "There remains work to be done by PIRC before their investigation is complete. The Crown will take the PIRC report into account when carrying out its own investigations and will assess whether or not there should be a criminal prosecution." The statement added: "In order for any criminal prosecution to happen, there must be sufficient evidence in law that a crime has been committed. "The family have been advised, by the lord advocate, that as part of the ongoing investigation there are a number of complex issues relating to the cause of death and experts in the field have been instructed to assist in dealing with these issues. "The lord advocate has reiterated the undertaking previously given to the family that the enquiry will be thorough and completed as soon as is possible." The solicitor for the family, Aamer Anwar, earlier said they had "lost all confidence in the Police Independent Review Commission's investigation". A statement after the meeting said the Bayoh family were grateful to the lord advocate for "a very robust and honest meeting". It said: "The family told the lord advocate that they do not believe the PIRC have shown the necessary expertise to deal with this investigation. "The family expressed grave reservations as to the PIRC's impartiality or robustness and believe that PIRC have failed to use their powers to hold police officers to account." The statement added: "The Bayoh family have stated from day one that Sheku acted out of character and that if he broke the law then the police had a right to act, but he did not deserve to die." The family said they were concerned that the investigation had focused all of its energy on everything apart from what the police did to restrain Mr Bayoh. A PIRC spokesman said the commissioner has continued to receive direction from the lord advocate throughout the "complex and wide-ranging investigation". "The commissioner continues to work closely with the lord advocate to investigate complex lines of enquiry, including gathering further expert opinion in relation to the cause of death," he added. Police Scotland has said they await the conclusion of the Pirc investigation and remain committed to co-operating fully with its inquiries. The pair were picked up by military intelligence after entering Lebanon with forged papers 10 days ago. Baghdadi's wife - identified as an Iraqi national - is being questioned at the defence ministry. In June, Baghdadi was named the leader of the "caliphate" created by IS in the parts of Syria and Iraq it controls. Last month the group denied reports that he had been killed or injured in an air strike by US-led forces near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. Describing them as "a valuable catch", the Lebanese newspaper al-Safir said that the IS leader's wife and child had been detained in co-ordination with "foreign intelligence services". They were held at a border crossing near the north-eastern town of Arsal while trying to enter Lebanon. They were currently being held for interrogation at the defence ministry's headquarters in al-Yarza, in the hills overlooking Beirut, it added. There were conflicting reports about the child, with a senior Lebanese security official telling Reuters news agency it was a girl - a direct contradiction of most news reports. A DNA test is being carried out to confirm the child is Baghdadi's. Lebanese officials initially said the woman was Syrian, but later identified her as an Iraqi called Saja al-Dulaimi, who had been living in Syria. A woman with that name was detained by the Syrian authorities before being freed in March as part of a prisoner exchange with al-Qaeda's local affiliate, al-Nusra Front. The exchange saw Islamic State's rival hand over a group of abducted Greek Orthodox nuns in return for the release of 150 of the Syrian government's female prisoners. Assuming the reports are true - and there is little reason to doubt them - the Lebanese authorities now face the delicate question of what to do with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's wife and offspring. In theory, they could prove a useful bargaining chip in the highly-charged imbroglio surrounding the fate of more than 20 Lebanese Army soldiers held hostage since August by IS and the rival al-Qaeda-linked militant group, al-Nusra Front. The militants are demanding the release of Islamist prisoners in Lebanese jails to spare the soldiers' lives - three have already been murdered. But al-Nusra has been much more involved than IS in back-channel negotiations for a possible exchange, so there is no guarantee it would pay off. And there is always the possibility that the continued detention of the pair could provoke IS to seek revenge in one way or another, perhaps by seizing more hostages. A US government source told Reuters that it was not sure how recently the woman had been with Baghdadi, and how much information, if any, she might have. However, a Lebanese official said the arrest was a "powerful card to apply pressure" in the hostage negotiations with IS and al-Nusra. Very little is known about Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has not been seen in public since being filmed delivering a sermon at a mosque in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul in July. A profile published by IS supporters that month said the Iraqi was married, but it is unclear how many wives he has. Tribal sources in Iraq told Reuters he had three wives - two Iraqis and one Syrian. Under Islamic law he is allowed up to four. The US has offered a $10m (£6.4m) reward for information leading to the capture or killing of Baghdadi, whose real name is Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai. After rumours of his death emerged last month, IS released an audio recording purportedly of Baghdadi in which he claimed that the caliphate was expanding and called for "volcanoes of jihad" to erupt the world over.

The UK is behind top performers such as Singapore and Finland, but also trails Vietnam, Poland and Estonia. The OECD's education director, Andreas Schleicher, describes the UK's results as "flat in a changing world". After the last round of rankings, published in 2013, there were warnings from ministers in England that results were "stagnating" - and reforms were promised to match international rivals. But Russell Hobby, leader of the National Association of Head Teachers, warned that the results showed "a lost decade" in which the government had pursued an "obsession" with structural change which had "little impact on either standards or equity". Nick Gibb, England's School Standards Minister, described the results as a "useful insight" and showed the need to "make more good school places available" in grammar schools. He announced £12m to support professional training for science teaching. But Professor Stephen Gorard from Durham University said the evidence of the results did not support claims that academic selection would boost overall performance. What is Pisa? In three sentences The Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) provides education rankings based on international tests taken by 15-year-olds in maths, reading and science. The tests, run by the OECD and taken every three years, have become increasingly influential on politicians who see their countries and their policies being measured against these global school league tables. The UK has remained among the mid-table performers, with Singapore rated at the top and most of the highest places taken by Asian education systems. Within the devolved UK education systems, Wales had the lowest results at every subject. Mr Schleicher said reforms in Wales had yet to make an impact and it was too early see if they would be successful. At present Wales' performance in reading puts it only a few places above parts of the UAE, Argentina and Colombia. Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said: "We can all agree we are not yet where we want to be." But she said that "hard work is underway" to make improvements in Wales - and that it was important to "stay the course". Dylan William, of the UCL Institute of Education, urged caution on the results for Wales - saying changes took a long time to filter through and it could be another decade before rankings would reflect what was happening in today's classrooms. England had the strongest results in the UK, but compared with previous years, Mr Schleicher said "performance hasn't moved at all". The OECD education chief highlighted concerns about the impact of teacher shortages - saying that an education system could never exceed the quality of its teachers. "There is clearly a perceived shortage," he said, warning that head teachers saw a teacher shortage as "a major bottleneck" to raising standards. The National Union of Teachers said the Pisa survey showed the "government is failing in one of its key responsibilities - to ensure that there are enough teachers in the system". Scotland trails behind England and Northern Ireland - recording its worst results in these Pisa rankings. Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the "results underline the case for radical reform of Scotland's education system". He said he would push for reforms to improve schools "no matter how controversial". Northern Ireland is behind England, but ahead of Scotland and Wales. Education minister Peter Weir said "performance has not shown any significant improvement" but he wanted to understand how these results for secondary schools could be explained when another set of results had shown Northern Ireland's primary pupils among the highest achievers for maths. But the overall highest performer is Singapore, with the Asian country coming top in science, maths and reading. At the top of the table, Singapore has replaced Shanghai as the highest-ranked education system. Shanghai no longer appears as a separate entry, with the city's results now part of a wider set of four Chinese regions. This entry for China is in the top 10 for maths and science, but not in the top 20 for reading. The education systems in Hong Kong and Macao are also among the highest achievers. Along with regular high achievers such as Singapore, Finland, Hong Kong and Japan, there are strong performances from Estonia, Canada and Vietnam. But the upper reaches of the rankings are dominated by East Asian countries, with Finland, Estonia, Canada and Ireland the only non-Asian countries to get into any of the top fives. Ty Goddard, of the Education Foundation, said the results for the UK were an "important snapshot of education achievement" - and they should not be used as an "excuse to have a national 'bash a teacher' day". Brett Wigdortz, chief executive of Teach First, said: "It's very much a 'must try harder' for the UK. We're doing slightly better than the average, but our score has hardly moved compared to three years ago." So why is Singapore so successful at education? Singapore only became an independent country in 1965. And while in the UK the Beatles were singing We Can Work It Out, in Singapore they were really having to work it out, as this new nation had a poor, unskilled, mostly illiterate workforce. The small Asian country focused relentlessly on education as a way of developing its economy and raising living standards. And from being among the world's poorest, with a mix of ethnicities, religions and languages, Singapore has overtaken the wealthiest countries in Europe, North America and Asia to become the number one in education. Prof Sing Kong Lee, vice-president of Nanyang Technological University, which houses Singapore's National Institute of Education, said a key factor had been the standard of teaching. "Singapore invested heavily in a quality teaching force - to raise up the prestige and status of teaching and to attract the best graduates," said Prof Lee. The country recruits its teachers from the top 5% of graduates in a system that is highly centralised. All teachers are trained at the National Institute of Education, and Prof Lee said this single route ensured quality control and that all new teachers could "confidently go through to the classroom". This had to be a consistent, long-term approach, sustained over decades, said Prof Lee. Education was an "eco-system", he said, and "you can't change one part in isolation". Kyle Birch, who was due to go to the festival, died in his sleep on 23 December, aged 26. His family have started a Facebook appeal asking festival-goers to take selfies and take him crowd surfing. They hope the bear will make it on to the main stage with Sunday night's headliners, Fleetwood Mac. Some artists on the festival line-up have already pledged their support. The family revealed they had been contacted by You Me At Six singer Josh Franceschi who said: "We'll make sure this happens." Southampton band The Novatones also tweeted: "We have a special guest Kyle the bear joining us on stage @IsleOfWightFest @JohnGiddings01 @HardRockLondon" Mr Birch's uncle, Mark Mudie, said the response on social media to their appeal had already been overwhelming. He said: "It's generating such great love and shows just how nice and good hearted people can be." Mr Birch, who worked at as a theatre nurse at Queen Alexandra (QA) Hospital in Portsmouth, is believed to have suffered from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, his family said. Four-year-old Christina Thomas was diagnosed about two weeks ago. Doctors told her parents chemotherapy or radiotherapy might prolong her life but would not save her. Mr Thomas, who lives in Norfolk, said this would result in "enormous suffering" and he wished to raise funds to "find alternative" treatments. The 48-year-old, whose song Thinking About Your Love was a hit in 1991, said: "At worst, we hope she will have a comfortable time and live longer than expected. "At best we hope it could have an impact on the tumour." As first reported in The Sun, Christina was diagnosed with a midbrain glioma on the brain stem about two weeks ago, after she developed a limp. Within two hours of the diagnosis, Mr Thomas was "with Christina in a back of an ambulance, at very high speed, going over to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge". Source: Brainstrust The musician said: "I can only compare it to your worst nightmare that you simply can't wake up from." Mr and Mrs Thomas set up a fundraising webpage, which has so far raised more than £34,000, in the hope of finding alternative treatment. He is currently researching "non-harmful" procedures in the United States and Mexico. Christina is being given "all the nutrients and correct diet she needs" and they hope this will give her the strength to travel if they find a hospital which might be able to help prolong her life. Mr Thomas said: "If you can buy yourself another year, in that time some other treatment might present itself." But he added "if the worst happened, the money would go to charity". It follows an incident at the weekend in which a female clubber was found unconscious in the venue. A total of 26 drug and alcohol-related incidents were recorded by police at, or outside, the club on Saturday night. Glasgow City Council's licensing board will consider a request for a closure order at a meeting on Wednesday. The Arches said it remained committed to the health and safety of its customers. A club night on Saturday was cut short after a young woman was found unconscious within the venue. An emergency closure order was served by Police Scotland under the Licensing Scotland Act 2005. Police said they would be submitting a report to the city council and seeking further action. Ch Insp Mark Sutherland, area commander for Glasgow city centre, said: "I am committed to ensuring the safety of those who socialise within Glasgow city centre and this closure was absolutely necessary to achieve this. "Glasgow City Police recorded 26 offences for drug and alcohol-related incidents at or outside this venue on Saturday night which is completely unacceptable. "I am keen for young people to enjoy the city but please do not use drugs of any kind and drink responsibly." Glasgow City Council confirmed it had received a complaint from Police Scotland. A spokesman said a request for a permanent closure order for the club would be considered by the licensing board. Last year the Glasgow venue announced it was raising its minimum age for admission to 21 after the suspected drug-related death of a teenage girl who fell ill there. Regane MacColl, 17, died after becoming ill at the club last February. Police linked her death to an ecstasy-like "Mortal Kombat" tablet. The Arches box office and cafe venue remained closed on Monday. A statement on the Arches' website said: "Having worked in increased partnership with Police Scotland and done all that has been asked to further mitigate risk at club events since the tragic events of February 2014, the Arches is disappointed to be summoned to tomorrow's Licensing Board hearing. "However, we remain wholly committed to the health and safety of our customers and are fully prepared to consider any further recommendations that the hearing may bring." Police issued a CCTV image of a suspect following the incident on Sunday 25 September. A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal and the 21-year-old will appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court at a later date. Aberdeen won the Scottish Premiership match 2-1. A mounted unit and police dogs were deployed at the match, which was the first at Pittodrie since Rangers were promoted to the SPL.

A lorry packed with explosives was detonated in the Karrada district while families were shopping for the holiday marking the end of Ramadan. Rescuers said whole families had been wiped out and many victims were burned beyond recognition. So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it carried out the suicide attack. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi visited the mainly Shia area on Sunday but his convoy was greeted by angry crowds. His office later announced the three days of mourning, adding that Mr Abadi understood the angry reaction of residents. As night fell on Sunday, teams of workers were still clearing debris from the site and searching the charred remnants of buildings. The bombing at around midnight on Saturday was the deadliest in Iraq this year and came a week after Iraqi forces recaptured the city of Falluja from IS. Reports said a refrigerator van had been packed with explosives and left near the popular al-Hadi Centre. Footage from the scene in the minutes after the blast showed the whole area engulfed in flames. "We need a number of days to be able to recover the bodies of victims. It is a difficult task," a member of the civil defence forces quoted by AFP news agency said. "The lists of victims I saw included whole families - the father and his sons, the mother and her daughters - whole families were wiped out by this explosion." A second bomb exploded shortly afterwards in another predominantly Shia area north of the capital, killing another five people. IS, which follows its own extreme version of Sunni Islam, said in an online statement that the attack in Karrada was carried out by an Iraqi as part of "ongoing security operations". The US said on Sunday that the latest attack strengthened its resolve to support Iraqi forces in their fight against IS. "We remain united with the Iraqi people and government in our combined efforts to destroy Isil," the White House statement said, using another term for the group. UN Iraq envoy Jan Kubis described the violence as a "cowardly and heinous act of unparalleled proportions". He said that IS militants who have "suffered defeats at the battlefront are seeking to avenge their losses by targeting vulnerable civilians". Later on Sunday, Mr Abadi also announced increased security measures including the scrapping of "magic wand" fake bomb detectors which are still being used at checkpoints in Iraq despite being exposed as a scam several years ago. He also ordered that improved vehicle inspection systems be installed at entry points into Baghdad and in other provinces. 9 June 2016: At least 30 people killed in and around Baghdad in two suicide attacks claimed by IS 17 May 2016: Four bomb blasts kill 69 people in Baghdad; three of the targets were Shia areas 11 May 2016: Car bombs in Baghdad kill 93 people, including 64 in market in Shia district of Sadr City 1 May 2016: Two car bombs kill at least 33 people in southern city of Samawa 26 March 2016: Suicide attack targets football match in central city of Iskandariya, killing at least 32 6 March 2016: Fuel tanker blown up at checkpoint near central city of Hilla, killing 47 28 February 2016: Twin suicide bomb attacks hit market in Sadr City, killing 70

The Iraqi government has declared three days of national mourning after a huge bomb in Baghdad killed 165 people and injured 225 others.

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

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

Queen's ambulance service medal (QASM) - Robert Francis Orr Visually impaired skier Gallagher said the honour was at the same level as winning gold last year. Her guide, Charlotte Evans, will also receive an MBE. The 29-year-old said: "It's absolutely surreal. It's the most beautiful honour that could be bestowed on Charlotte and I. "It's something really special for the two of us to share and be awarded. I'm so delighted." She added: "I'm so surprised nobody else has found out about it, because normally I can't keep a secret. The only people who knew were my mum and Charlotte." Others to receive MBEs include Eveleigh Brownlow, president of Portaferry and District Lifeboat Guild, and Councillor Sammy Brush, for services to the community. Cllr Brush has served on Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council for 21 years. Joe Hyland, chief executive of Belfast's SOS Bus, and John Tully, chief executive of last year's World Police and Fire Games, have also received MBEs along with an air-traffic controller at City of Derry Airport, David Reeves, and Deirdre Breen, branch manager at Lurgan Library. Chef and broadcaster Jenny Bristow has been awarded a British Empire Medal and said it was a "wonderful surprise". "It's really special to me," she said. "Over the years what started as a career of just simply cooking and showing people how to cook simple good food, now in Northern Ireland is addressing so many issues, such as obesity and all the fabulous food that we have here. "To have this endorsement on top of that work, that's just really very special and I'm just so excited." Four PSNI officers have been awarded the Queen's Police Medal, while Robert Orr, the area manager for the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, has received the Queens's Ambulance Medal. Projections give her more than 60% of the vote, compared with just over 35% for her rival, Bernie Sanders. Mrs Clinton is now less than 30 delegates short of the 2,383 needed to win the nomination, according to an Associated Press count. On Sunday Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders both campaigned in California, ahead of Tuesday's primary. Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders are in a dead heat in California, but delegates in the state are awarded on a proportional basis. Five other states also hold Democratic primaries on Tuesday, including New Jersey. In all, 694 delegates are up for grabs. Even if Mrs Clinton loses in California, she may still secure her party's nomination and take on the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump. Although they take part in the primary process, residents of Puerto Rico and other US territories are not entitled to vote in the presidential election. The star of stage and screen is to host public tours of the London locations seen in the film in which he played Richard III more than 20 years ago. The film, directed by Richard Loncraine, was set in an alternative fascist 1930s England. Locations included St Pancras station, Battersea Power Station and the building that is now Tate Modern. "I've always thought it might be fun to take a bus tour around the sites of Richard III," Sir Ian said at the BFI on Monday. "You would watch snippets of the film sitting in the coach and then arrive at the actual location and see it." The bus tour is part of the BFI Presents Shakespeare on Film season, which runs in April and May to mark the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death. Sir Ian is spearheading the project, which is billed as the BFI's biggest ever programme of Shakespeare on screen in the UK and across the world. A screening of Richard III, with a post-film on-stage discussion between Sir Ian and Loncraine, will be simulcast across UK cinemas on 28 April. The 1995 film's starry cast included Dame Maggie Smith, Annette Bening, Jim Broadbent, Dame Kristen Scott Thomas, Robert Downey Jr and Dominic West. "What a cast we had!" Sir Ian said. "Half of Downton Abbey is in it. I was thrilled when Maggie, who is only a little bit older than me, agreed to play my mother." Other highlights of the Shakespeare on Film programme include: BFI head curator Robin Baker said the bus tour had been Sir Ian's idea and the details of the route were still being worked out. "The BFI has never done a bus tour - it's a definite first," he said. Media playback is unsupported on your device 25 November 2014 Last updated at 00:02 GMT Back in 2011, he teamed up with a friend to start Heel The World - a high-end shoemaking company based in Accra, Ghana. He gave up his banking job one year later to dedicate himself fully in his new ambitious venture. The young entrepreneur wants to prove that quality shoes can be made in his country. Heel The World, which currently has 13 full-time employees, has built a website to take orders and relies heavily on social media for marketing. Media playback is not supported on this device The Gunners started the day as Premier League leaders but could have lost by more than the 5-1 scoreline at Anfield. Wenger's team play Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. He said: "It raises questions that we have to answer on Wednesday night. I still think we can win the league because mathematically it is possible." The 5-1 defeat at Anfield was only the fourth time in Premier League history that Arsenal have conceded five goals or more in a single game, but the second time this season The Frenchman's side were four goals down inside 20 minutes against Liverpool. Martin Skrtel finished from two set-piece deliveries to give the Reds a cushion after 10 minutes and Arsenal, buoyed by the return of midfielder Jack Wilshere from injury, failed to muster a response. Raheem Sterling joined Skrtel in scoring twice, while Daniel Sturridge also hit the net for a rampant Liverpool before Mikel Arteta pulled a goal back from the penalty spot. Watched from the stands by owner Stan Kroenke, the Gunners suffered their first away defeat since the 6-3 drubbing by title rivals Manchester City at Etihad Stadium in December. And Wenger said his "whole team" failed to perform at Anfield. "It is always what you make of a defeat that decides your future. We have a lot to answer and a lot of answers to find," he added. "It is perhaps better I don't talk too much and get on and respond well against Manchester United on Wednesday because I include myself in that performance." 12 Feb - Man Utd (away) 16 Feb - Liverpool (home) FA Cup 19 Feb - Bayern Munich (home) Champions League 22 Feb - Sunderland (home) After United's visit to north London, Arsenal face Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round next weekend, before a Champions League last-16 game against Bayern Munich. The run of fixtures, with key players such as Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott sidelined with injury, has been billed as crucial in Arsenal's season - and Wenger expects more from those available than was on show on Merseyside. The 64-year-old added: "The performance overall was poor on concentration and pace and our defensive stability was very poor. We always looked vulnerable defensively so it is congratulations to Liverpool. They were the best team and we were very, very poor. "We conceded two early goals on set-pieces and then you are in a position where you have to come out but we knew we had to be focused and at that kind of level. Our overall performance was just not good enough. "We are very disappointed but let's not lose our confidence and belief that we can do it." The California-based private-hire company had urged its users to oppose suggestions that had included a ban on apps being able to show where their nearby available vehicles were. The idea had been put forward following complaints from black-cab drivers about "unfair competition". Uber has celebrated the "victory". However, the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) said there had been a "missed opportunity". Other rejected measures included: Uber's drivers may still be inconvenienced by a new proposal. The Mayor, Boris Johnson, has asked Transport for London (TfL) to investigate whether all private-hire drivers should lose their exemption from the city's congestion-charge scheme. That would mean they would have to pay £11.50 to drive in a central zone on weekdays. TfL launched a public consultation into the private hire trade last September. It said it received 16,000 responses. The organisation still plans to adopt some of the other proposals it made including: TfL said a final decision on the proposed changes would be made on 17 March. Uber now has more than 25,000 drivers using its service in London, roughly matching the number of black-cab drivers. "We're pleased Transport for London has listened to the views of passengers and drivers, dropping the bonkers ideas proposed last year like compulsory five minute wait times and banning showing cars in apps," said a spokesman for the app. "It means Uber can continue to keep London moving with a convenient, safe and affordable ride at the push of a button." However, a spokesman for black-cab drivers had mixed feelings. "There are 93,000 private hire vehicles at the moment and that's soon to be 120,000," Steve McNamara, LTDA's general secretary, told the BBC. "They are a major contributor to congestion, so it's good common sense that they should have their exemption from the charging zone removed. "But what's happened [with the dropped proposals] is that Uber's power in Whitehall, Downing Street and beyond has put enormous pressure on Transport for London, and we've seen TfL's genuine desire to regulate private hire vehicles curtailed by the political pressure put upon it." Taxi drivers are not, however, giving up their fight. Some of them are organising a crowdfunding campaign to pay for a legal case that they hope will result in Uber's London licence being withdrawn. The effort has raised just over £48,000 of its £600,000 target so far. The lawsuit comes as the ride-hailing company is trying to restore its reputation amid a series of scandals. Uber chief Travis Kalanick has said he will take leave from the firm after a review of management and practices. Other top executives have also left and Uber has pledged other changes. Uber: Travis Kalanick's rollercoaster reign In December 2014, a 26-year-old Delhi woman, who has now moved to Texas and has filed the case anonymously, was raped by Uber driver Shiv Kumar Yadav. Yadav was subsequently sentenced to life in prison. As well as the criminal case, the woman had sued Uber, settling out of court. However, she filed a new suit in the US on Thursday after reports emerged that Uber had investigated the complaint, obtained her medical records and speculated that she made up the claims to hurt the firm's business. She has alleged that Uber violated her privacy and defamed her character. An Uber spokesperson said: "No one should have to go through a horrific experience like this, and we're truly sorry that she's had to relive it over the last few weeks." The lawsuit names Mr Kalanick, and former executives Emil Michael and Eric Alexander. Mr Alexander left the company last week after US reporters asked questions about the incident. Department for Education data shows 10% of nursery staff earn less than £7.20 an hour the minimum for over-25s. The Family and Childcare Trust says the government must ensure the nurseries it subsidises do not flout the law. But a group representing private, voluntary and independent sector nurseries rejected the trust's claims. Ellen Broome, deputy chief executive of the Family and Childcare Trust, said nursery workers cared for and educated the next generation and deserved decent pay. "But instead they are being exploited and paid illegal poverty wages. This cannot be right," she said. She urged central and local government to act immediately to make sure that every childcare worker was paid a decent wage and that taxpayers' money did not go to employers who broke the law. "High quality childcare does not come on the cheap," she added. The trust took data from the DfE's childcare provider survey published last month. It then took figures on the total number of childcare workers from research carried out by the Institute of Education in London. But the Pre-Schools Learning Alliance, which represents private, independent and voluntary early years settings, said: "The DfE survey that this claim is based on began collecting data in March 2016 - the month before the National Living Wage was actually introduced." It is clear, however, from the published survey that the data collection went on until July. The Pre-Schools Learning Alliance said: "No childcare provider should be paying their employees less than the national minimum or living wage, and it is of course right that any instances of this happening are investigated and dealt with appropriately. "However, we completely reject the claim that such breaches are happening on anywhere near the scale that the Family and Childcare Trust are suggesting, and our analysis of the same DfE data indicates that any such suggestions are both misleading and irresponsible." It said: "There's no doubt that low pay in the early years sector remains a significant problem, and one that the government has turned a blind eye to for far too long," said the Pre-School Learning Alliance. "However, reports like this do little to help the situation. Instead of unfairly and inaccurately criticising 'greedy childcare providers', we should be looking to address the issue of chronic underfunding, the real cause of low pay in the sector." But the Family and Childcare Trust said it was surprised that little action appeared to have been taken against those employing staff at low rates of pay. Twenty-two childcare providers have been subject to enforcement action from Revenue & Customs for non-payment of the minimum wage. A Department for Education spokesman said: "Our model agreement clearly sets out that if providers do not comply with their legal obligations, councils can terminate their funding to deliver our childcare offers." It has recently invested an extra £1bn a year to fund free hours entitlements for three- and four-year-olds and some two-year-olds at nurseries in England. Under the deal, Wood Group PSN (WGPSN) will provide engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning services to four offshore assets and two onshore facilities. The five-year contract includes an option for two one-year extensions. It is the second major oil sector deal Wood Group has picked up this month. In mid-March, the Aberdeen-based company won a contract from Statoil worth more than £40m to expand and upgrade a Norwegian gas processing plant. Under the Total deal, WGPSN will continue to provide services for Total's Alywn, Dunbar, Elgin and Franklin platforms and the St Fergus Gas Terminal. It will also support the Shetland Gas Plant, the onshore receiving facility for Laggan/Tormore, which will start production later this year. WGPSN UK managing director Dave Stewart said: "Our knowledge and in-depth understanding of this key client's needs, and our strong commitment to working safely, collaboratively, innovatively and efficiently to maximise productivity of these assets, helped us to secure this contract." Ho Lye Toh was a teenager who could lift weights of up to 100kg (220lb). Now 92, she might be Singapore's most famous nonagenarian after her remarkable life story surfaced in an article earlier this year and enraptured the city. Her father was Ho Peng Khoen, a school teacher and former Malayan weightlifting champion. In 1941, he made a decision that changed her life. "I was 14 and I fell sick quite often, sometimes so bad that I would pass out. So my father decided I should begin exercising to build body strength," Madam Ho said. "He was the reason I got started on weightlifting. He taught me how to press and pull weights and dumbbells and I did that every evening after I came back from school." Her father doted on her, motivating her with small presents during training sessions. "He would tell me that if I could increase the weights by five pounds, I'd be given 10 cents, which was a lot of money back then." He kept adding to the weights and she would try her best to lift them, just to earn more money, until she was happily lifting 100kg before she turned 20. As Madam Ho's confidence grew, her father decided to enter her and her sister into the Miss Singapore beauty pageant, which was organised at that time by a local sports club. "I don't know why I won! But I took first place and my sister came in second," she said. She is at pains to add that in those days she curled her own hair and wore face powder costing only 20 cents. "Singaporean girls today are all quite skinny and modern; very different compared to the contestants of my time," Madam Ho recalls. She and her sister were among a handful of local girls in the pageant. The rest of the contestants were Europeans and the audience was made up of mainly Australian and British soldiers. The contest rules were "simple" and only involved a body examination by a doctor, to determine if the costumes fitted properly. There were also no interviews or prizes, "only a sash," she remembers. Madam Ho earned the title of Miss Singapore three times during her teenage years. Her sister also went on to win other beauty pageants. But then World War Two came and Japanese troops captured Singapore, a British colony at the time, in 1942. During the three-year occupation, most Singaporeans lived in fear of the Japanese military police and life changed dramatically. "I was about 21 years old then and we had to stop all activities because of the war so I was made to stay at home," she said. Her father invited Japanese soldiers to dinner in an effort to befriend them to ensure they did not make trouble for the family. There was also pressure from the family to marry her off but her father resisted, vowing that if troops took his daughters away, he would kill them. But the family's fear was so intense that her mother burned her treasured pageant prize - her Miss Singapore sash - in case it attracted unwanted attention. "It's gone now. But at least I still have photos to remember it by," she says with a rueful smile. She then joined the beauty contest again for "one last time" in 1948. "My boyfriend at the time told me not to keep entering because I would always win! So I stopped after that and my sister won." Alyssa Woo, who first uncovered Madam Ho's story in April, says she was amazed at how the story spread and gathered popularity. "What I wanted to say was that the beauty standards during Madam Ho's time and now are very different and she is living proof of timeless beauty - even at age 92," Ms Woo told the BBC. "I also hoped that her story would teach our generation that speaking to older people is actually very interesting and we shouldn't write them off so easily." Today, Madam Ho enjoys spending her time playing mahjong, travelling and most especially doting on her 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, who have even set up a dedicated Facebook page which she uses occasionally. The family also recently celebrated her 92nd birthday last month, by paying tribute to her era with a 1920s-themed dinner. "She doesn't think like a 92-year-old woman," said her grandson Adrian Wong. "She still views herself as being very much independent and healthy and we are all very proud of her for doing all that she has been doing all these years." Her granddaughter-in-law Madelaine attributes Madame Ho's longevity to her active past. "I truly believe it's her weight-lifting, that's something very unique to her." The Duke, who is 91, has been recuperating at Balmoral after spending several days in hospital in Aberdeen with a bladder infection. Organisers were concerned Prince Philip would not be well enough to attend. The Gathering, held at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park, is seen as the biggest event in the Highland Games calendar. It has a long history, stretching back in its modern form nearly 200 years. The Duke accompanied the Queen, who is patron of the Games, to watch traditional events, including the tossing of the caber and the tug of war. Prince Philip spent five nights at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary as a "precaution" after a recurrence of a bladder infection he had in June. Last weekend, the Duke made his first public appearance, since leaving hospital on 20 August, when he attended a church service at Crathie Kirk. In June he was admitted to hospital with the same infection the day after braving cold, wet and windy conditions on the royal barge for several hours during the Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the River Thames. Prince Philip spent five nights in London's King Edward VII Hospital and missed some of the key celebrations of a special bank holiday weekend marking the Queen's 60-year reign. Northern Irishman McIlroy, 26, mixed five birdies with three bogeys to go 10 under for the tournament, which has been affected by fog delays. American Rickie Fowler, ranked sixth in the world, tops the leaderboard after shooting 65. Joost Luiten of the Netherlands carded a 68 and is two shots off the pace. The fourth round is due to be completed later on Sunday. The announcement was made as Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! premiered on US TV on Wednesday on the Syfy channel. It ended with a piece of space shuttle hurtling towards April, played by Tara Reid, and the caption: "You decide if #AprilLives or #AprilDies". Sharknado 3 will premiere on Syfy in the UK on Thursday. As the film reached its cliffhanger, a voice-over informed US fans they would find out the outcome of the Twitter vote and April's fate in a fourth instalment of the franchise. "Now's your chance to be part of Sharknado history," it said, "You decide if April lives or April dies. "Her fate will be revealed in Sharknado 4. Because we're not done yet!" Reid confessed the twist came as a surprise to her too, telling the Hollywood Reporter: "That was a shocker! I didn't expect that!" "I think that's going to be a big turning point for the franchise. It gives it some excitement, and it's giving the fans a chance to interact. "No matter what happens, I'm proud to be a part of this phenomenon." After the first two films saw a tornado of sharks hitting first LA and then New York, Sharknado 3 sees the action moving to Washington and Florida. The made-for-television disaster film also stars Ian Ziering as Fin and David Hasselhoff as Fin's dad, as well as cameos from Jerry Springer, Bo Derek and former X Factor stars Jedward, who recorded the theme song. The Sharknado franchise has taken social media by storm, with the first two films generating more than a billion tweets between them. Sharknado producer, Chris Regina, hopes this latest stunt will prove just as engaging. "I'm hoping that we're going to break the internet this time with the "April lives, April dies" at the end," Regina told Hollywood Reporter. "I think it's going to be precedent-setting. I can't think of an instance where another network has done something of that nature at the end of an event. Hopefully it's a TV first." But despite fans' interest in the franchise, it has yet to win over the critics. "Having now watched "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!" I find myself in the position of having to write about it. And I am not sure which is worse, really, or even how to proceed," said Robert Lloyd, writing in the LA Times. The Telegraph's reviewer Michael Hogan found the film, "so self-referential and in-jokey that the franchise is in grave danger of eating itself." He added: "It frequently felt more like Victoria Wood's wobbly-setted soap spoof Acorn Antiques than a proper production." IGN's Matt Fowler writes that it is "often shockingly awful" and concludes: "Sharknado 3 is bad, as it should be. As it must be. "I only wonder how much time we're all willing to devote to something that's now totally awful by demand." Fans can vote for what they want to see happen in Sharknado 4 on Twitter or on Syfy's dedicated website. Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! airs on Syfy in the UK at 22:00 BST on Thursday 23 July. Adam Isaac, 23, from Merthyr Tydfil, previously admitted eight sexual offences against children. Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard he targeted two boys, aged 12 and 14, and asked them to send intimate photos of themselves. Judge Richard Twomlow QC said: "This predatory behaviour is a worry and a concern to parents." Isaac admitted causing or inciting child prostitution or pornography, performing sexual acts in the presence of a child, encouraging a child to engage in a sexual activity and the possession of indecent photos of a child. He committed sexual acts himself while on video calls with the boys and also possessed indecent images of an unidentified third boy. In a statement to the court, the family of one of the victims said: "We never believed he could be manipulated in this way after we warned him about the dangers online. "We are now so scared to allow him online. He has matured so quickly - we are fighting to stop him going down a destructive path and we are trying to get him back to being the child he was." A spokesman for children's charity the NSPCC said it was "every parent's nightmare". Minecraft, which has more than 100 million registered users, is a 3D game in which players build their own worlds using cubes, as well as exploring and gathering and crafting resources. Prosecutor Rachel Knight said: "The defendant sent money to the boys on PayPal and used the game to groom them. "The parents of the boys did not know what was happening. In the case of the 12 year old he was playing the game at night while his parents were asleep." The court heard the boy's father found his chats on Skype involved an adult asking him about his sex life, so he contacted the police. Judge Twomlow told Isaac he had gone on to "an innocent type of game, very far removed from the type of contact you engaged in. "You knew you would find teenage boys. This was clearly a grooming process." Susan Ferrier, defending, said Isaac apologised to the boys and their parents. "He was subjected to bullying from the age of 12 and is far more comfortable in the online world than the real world," she added. A father of one of the victims said before the case: "Nobody my son's age would have stood a chance." He read 170 pages of chat between the two and described Isaac as "callous and cold", adding: "The way he gained his trust, built the relationship, he was an expert. "There is no way that any child, once drawn into that world, would ever have seen it coming." While he initially felt disbelief, the father now believes any amount of parental training could not have prevented it happening. He said his son was totally unaware and is finding it hard to cope with the realisation that he was "calculatedly groomed". A spokeswoman for Microsoft said: "Helping promote a safe online experience has always been a priority for us, particularly when it comes to children. "We also offer resources to help parents understand how to help keep their kids safe." Speaking after the sentence, Barnardo's chief executive Javed Khan said the case "highlights the need for parents and children to understand the dangers of online gaming. "Social media and online games like Minecraft are now central to our children's lives but they provide a channel for abusers to easily reach and influence both boys and girls online," he said. "Recent research into children referred to five of Barnardo's specialist services found that nearly two-thirds of children groomed online went on to meet their abuser. "Parents need to understand the mobile technology their children are using and what they're doing online so they can protect them. And children themselves need to be aware of danger and how to keep themselves safe." Lucy Dowdall, senior crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service Wales Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Unit, said: "This was a planned and calculated course of action on the part of Isaac and it is right that he has been made to face up to what he did in a criminal court. "This case serves as another reminder to anyone who has caring responsibilities for children to be alert to online safety matters so that wherever possible, children are prevented from coming into harm's way. "Nevertheless we hope this case also sends a clear message that where offences have taken place, the criminal justice agencies will act to bring online offenders to justice." The route crossed Westminster Bridge, through Croydon to Redhill in Surrey, and then onwards through Sussex towns including Crawley and Cuckfield. All the vehicles taking part were manufactured before 1905. Organisers said this year's run had an American theme with a celebration of US car marques. Names included Cadillac, Ford and Oldsmobile, alongside less well-known names such as Pope, Waverley and Northern. From Europe, Renault and Vauxhall had entered cars from their heritage fleets. Sussex car enthusiast Henry Lawson from Henfield, whose family were taking two cars this year, said the run showed the development of motoring over a period of 10 to 15 years. "None of them are younger than 1904, but you'll see the development where the later ones are actually starting to be fairly consistently four wheels, a steering wheel and so on. "But in the early cars you've just got these crazy things where the passenger is out in the front facing forwards or facing backwards and all sorts of things where people were actually just trying to come up with the right answer." Chairman Ben Cussons said the oldest car on this year's run was the 1888 Truchetet, and one of the rarest was the 1901 Isotta Fraschini. He said the event was a glorious celebration of the motor car and tribute to pioneering "automobilists". Cars arrived in Brighton throughout the day with the first ones reaching the seaside, where the skies were clear by the coast, at about 10:00 GMT. TV presenter Chris Evans, who joined Ken Bruce and Alex Jones on vintage buses filled with bidders who raised funds for the BBC's Children in Need, said: "It was very smooth and brilliantly well-marshalled. "We had lovely coffee stops on the way, a great coffee stop in Crawley, croissants and coffee courtesy of Harrods. Who doesn't want to be at that on a Sunday morning?" Factory output grew by 6.1% from the year before - below forecasts of 6.4%. Growth in fixed-asset investment - largely property - slowed to 10.9% for the year-to-date, a 15-year low. Growing evidence that the world's economic powerhouse is slowing down has caused major investment market falls. Other indications that the economy is weakening can be seen in falling car sales and lower imports and inflation. Chinese manufacturers cut prices at their fastest pace in six years, largely on the back of a drop in commodity prices, which have dropped sharply over the past year as demand from China faltered. Last week, the Chinese Premier, Li Keqiang, said China remained on track to meet all its economic targets for this year despite the economic data. China has already cut interest rates five times since November to encourage lending and spur economic activity, along with other measures to boost growth. Premier Li pledged that China would take more steps to boost domestic demand and that it would implement more policies designed to lift imports. China recently revised down its 2014 growth figures from 7.4% to 7.3% - its weakest showing in nearly 25 years. For this year, the government is targeting annual economic growth of about 7%. Meanwhile, the Chinese authorities said they would take new steps towards a more market-based economic system by offering shares in state-owned businesses to private investors. The move, which they said would help improve corporate governance and asset management, is planned to take place before 2020. China's industrial economy is dominated by 111 conglomerates which are state owned. Body positivity campaigner Harnaam Kaur, 24, from Slough, Berkshire, said it was "humbling" to be included. She described her beard as part of her quest to overcome years of bullying to cope with her appearance. Other record breakers added to the list include the longest pet cat and a high-jumping llama. Ms Kaur has polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal condition that can result in the growth of excess facial hair. In March 2016 she became the first female with a beard to walk the runway at London Fashion Week. The record for longest domestic cat currently alive goes to a 3ft 10.59in (1.183m) moggy from Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Ludo, a Maine Coon, was no bigger than other kittens in his litter when he was taken home by his owner Kelsey Gill in 2014. Ms Gill now has to use a dog carrier for the supersized cat and a dog harness to accommodate his length. Also making the list is Caspa, a nine-year-old high-jumping llama who can leap a bar 3ft 8.5in (1.13m) high. The animal, which lives on a farm in Porthmadog, North Wales, has been described by his owner as a "total diva" and the envy of all the other llamas on the farm. The record for the fastest speed achieved on a monowheel motorcycle has been set by a team at Elvington Airfield, North Yorkshire. Kevin Scott, from Lincoln, achieved 98.464 km/h (61.18 mph) on a bike built by UK Monowheel Team. Villa have signed goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, midfielder Aaron Tshibola and defender Tommy Elphick since being relegated from the Premier League. "We're certainly looking for a striker," Di Matteo told BBC WM 95.6. "And maybe some more attacking players, depending on how the next few weeks go and which players are going to leave." Di Matteo has a first-team squad of 30 with only Rudy Gestede, Jordan Ayew, Gabby Agbonlahor and the injury-hit Libor Kozak providing senior striking options. Villa have been linked with Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford and Bristol City's Ivory Coast international Jonathan Kodjia as they attempt to make an immediate return to the top flight. "You could probably name 15 players that have been linked with us but I'm very pleased with the players we've brought in - I think we've done some good business there," Di Matteo said. "But my attention will now focus on outgoings. I would like to trim the squad - it's too big for my liking, so there will be some movement now." Villa start the league season at Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, 7 August. Northern Ireland's two biggest unionist parties have agreed a general election pact in four constituencies, including the UK's most tightly contested seat. Mr Donaldson was asked on the BBC Daily Politics why the two parties did not just merge in light of the pact. "Maybe that will happen one day," Mr Donaldson replied. "As a former member of the Ulster Unionists and current member of the DUP of course I would like to see unionism working more closely together." The deal between the Democratic Unionist Party and Ulster Unionist Party means there will be a single candidate from the two parties. The DUP will step aside in Fermanagh and South Tyrone and Newry and Armagh. The UUP will step aside in East Belfast and North Belfast. Mr Donaldson defended the pact: "Don't forget Sinn Féin abstain from parliament and that reduces Northern Ireland's influences. "What we want to do and there is an opportunity here with the prospect of a hung parliament to maximise Northern Ireland's influence so it makes sense where there is the potential for a single unionist candidate to win a seat back from Sinn Féin and put some into the House if Commons who will be a voice for that constituency, well then that's worth doing." 11 May 2017 Last updated at 15:08 BST She is being fed and cared for by experts after being rescued in Indonesia when she was caught in a remote village. Orang-utans which are considered critically endangered by the World Wildlife Fund, usually have brown or orange hair and dark eyes. They live in Indonesia and Malaysia. But this one is different. She's an albino which means she doesn't have the chemical in her hair, skin and eyes that creates colour - it also means she struggles with bright lights. She still loves eating Bamboo though and has been getting stronger and putting weight back on. The girl was repeatedly raped by her stepfather and is due to give birth in about four months, police in the northern town of Rohtak told the BBC. He has been arrested and detained pending a full police investigation. Indian law does not allow terminations after 20 weeks unless the woman's life is in danger. The girl's request for an abortion is for the courts to decide. The tough law was introduced to fight India's skewed gender ratio. A deep-seated cultural preference for sons has led to millions of female foetuses being aborted over the years by pregnant women after undergoing foetal gender testing. In recent months India's Supreme Court has received several petitions, some from women who were raped, wanting to terminate pregnancies after 20 weeks. The court has always referred the matter to medical experts. In the latest case in Rohtak town in Haryana state, doctors from the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) met to discuss the family's request to allow the child to have an abortion. They confirmed the girl's pregnancy. "The police and the authorities will now take the report to the court which can order whether the child can undergo an abortion," Dr Ashok Chauhan, medical superintendent at PGIMS, told the BBC. He said the case for a termination was "borderline". "She is around 20 weeks pregnant, but it could be 19 weeks or it could be 21 weeks. The technology is not so advanced that it can tell you exactly what week she's in." The pregnancy came to light last week when the 10-year-old's mother, who works as a domestic helper, suspected her child was pregnant and took her to see a doctor. Reports said the girl was often left at home when her mother went to work. She told her mother that she had been repeatedly raped by her stepfather, who had warned her not to say anything. The stepfather was arrested after the mother lodged a police complaint, senior Rohtak police official Pankaj Nain told the BBC. Matthew McDermott is accused of assaulting Niall Grace, who plays for Institute Football Club, at 00:45 BST on Sunday. Mr Grace remains in a critical condition in hospital. Mr McDermott, from Cornshell Fields in the city, is accused of grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of the Class A drug ecstasy. A police officer said he could connect the defendant to the charges. A defence barrister said a fight between the victim and the defendant outside a city centre bar had been caught on CCTV. She said it showed both men throwing a punch before the victim fell and hit his head on the pavement. Londonderry Magistrates Court was told Mr Grace was taken to Altlagelvin hospital before being transferred to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital, where he was placed in an induced coma. Remanding Mr McDermott in custody, the judge said said there were potential safety concerns, given the public reaction to the case. Institute FC has expressed support for Mr Grace in a tweet, saying the club's "thoughts and prayers" were with him. In another message of support on Twitter, Harland and Wolff Welders football club said: "Our thoughts are with Niall Grace and the wider @Institute_FC family and hope Niall makes a full and speedy recovery from his injuries."

The world governing body defended its conduct after it was implicated in the World Anti-Doping Agency's (Wada) commission into the allegations. Michael Ashenden was one of two experts enlisted by the Sunday Times to analyse leaked data belonging to the IAAF. He said the IAAF's 38-page statement on Friday was "deliberately bloated". In the statement, the federation insisted it had used "every tool available to it to catch blood dopers in athletics and with considerable success". British marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe, who claimed she had been implicated by a parliamentary hearing, was declared "entirely innocent" by the IAAF and the UK Anti-Doping Agency after what the IAAF called a "gross misinterpretation of raw and incomplete data". The IAAF said documents showed that it had "consistently been a pioneer" in the war against doping and sought to demonstrate that it had been rigorous in its testing and use of the blood data it held. But Ashenden responded: "Faced with the life-threatening blood values which they knew existed amongst their athletes, I say they should have tried to push the legal envelope. "I have argued previously that there is a place for prudence when launching legal actions based on suspicious blood results. But the blood values were so extreme, over such an extended period, that they should have tried to do something, anything. The IAAF were legally timid when they should have been morally strong." Ashenden continued: "The irony of a disgraced federation casting aspersions is not lost on me. But their deliberately bloated document, no doubt intended to muddy the waters, cannot go unanswered. "It is not just the Sunday Times or German broadcaster ARD questioning whether the IAAF 'idly sat by and let this happen'. "The Independent Commission (IC) has identified corruption and bribery practices at the highest levels of international athletics, currently under investigation by Interpol. A complex conspiracy involving the IAAF. Evidence of breaches of processes and rules by IAAF officials. Media playback is not supported on this device "The IC said that the IAAF was inexplicably lax in following up suspicious blood profiles. I witnessed symptoms of that disgraceful behaviour when I inspected a database drenched with suspect blood profiles. I made comment accordingly. "However, it was not until the IC released its report that I had some insight as to 'why', and 'how', suspect profiles had not been actioned." Ashenden's colleague Robin Parisotto, who worked with him analysing the data, issued his own statement, describing the IAAF's response as "quite simply breathtaking in scope but of questionable significance when assessed in the context of the gross abnormalities evident in the database". He added: "I ask the IAAF to perhaps stop shooting the messenger[s] and begin addressing the glaringly obvious problem of not only blood doping in athletics [made evident in the Wada IC first report] but also the potential effects of blood doping on the health of their constituency. "As a final statement, perhaps the IAAF should take a 'cold shower' and refrain from taking pot-shots until the second Wada IC investigation is over." Dick Pound, who led the Wada investigation, has already indicated the second part of the report - focusing on claims against the IAAF, and likely to be released in January - will have a "wow factor".

The IAAF has been accused of trying to "muddy the waters" in the ongoing investigation into doping in athletics, by an expert involved in the case.

The four were reported missing late on Monday after failing to return to the popular Nozawa Onsen ski resort on Mount Kenashi. They were rescued about 08:40 local time on Tuesday, Japanese media said. It is understood the woman, aged in her 50s, her two adult sons and a younger son dug themselves into a snow hole for shelter. None appeared to be seriously injured, local media quoted police as saying. "The four were shaking considerably when found," a rescuer told broadcaster NHK. "But after providing them with food and hot water, they stopped shaking. They barely survived as they spent the night without much on them. Not moving around must have helped a great deal." Authorities began searching for the family after they managed to post a message on Facebook calling for help, TV Asahi reported. Police said the four were unable to descend from the 1,649m mountain, 200km (125 miles) north-west of Tokyo, after a day of skiing. Temperatures dropped as low as -10C during the night, following three days of heavy snowfall, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation said. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed it had been in contact with officials in Japan.

An Australian woman and her three sons have been rescued after spending a freezing night on a mountain in Japan.

Two Central American-born students are in custody after a 14-year-old girl was attacked last week at Rockville High School in Maryland, police say. The White House said "tragedies like this" had motivated President Trump's illegal immigration "crackdown". On Tuesday night, protesters gathered outside the school, some expressing concern about undocumented immigrants. Henry Sanchez, 18, and Jose Montano, 17, were charged in the alleged assault, which the victim said took place in a boy's toilet at the beginning of the school day last Thursday. Authorities say the older boy is in the country illegally, but they refused to disclose the other suspect's immigration status because he is a juvenile. On Tuesday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer condemned the crime, calling it "shocking, disturbing, horrific and whatever other words that someone can think of". But at a press conference, school officials played down the immigration angle. "We would like to change the conversation," said Jack Smith, superintendent of the 159,000-student Montgomery County Public Schools system. "Some have tried to make this into a question and issue of immigration... but we serve every student who walks through our doors," he added. He said the two suspects had been enrolled in a special programme for non-English speakers. On Tuesday night, demonstrators outside the school chanted "safety not sanctuary", a reference to sanctuary cities, where local authorities often protect those without legal US residency from deportation. Montgomery County Police Capt James Humphries said he believed the victim of the alleged rape was a US citizen. A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that border agents had encountered Henry Sanchez near the US-Mexico border in Texas last August. He was freed and ordered to appear before an immigration judge, but no court date was set. According to the Washington Post, Henry Sanchez spent 17 years of his life in his native Guatemala. Jose Montano lived in El Salvador for 16 years, according to court documents. Earlier his week, Maryland lawmakers in the Democratic-controlled legislature passed a bill designed to prevent police from stopping people to ask about their immigration status. Republican Governor Larry Hogan said the legislation would make it more difficult for the state to co-operate with immigration investigations. He has vowed to veto the bill.

Mr Trump's victory was one of the biggest upsets in US political history, confounding the opinion polls and putting an end to eight years of Democratic control of the White House.  A billionaire businessman, reality TV star and political outsider, Mr Trump campaigned on a vow to "make America great again". He presented himself as an agent of change who would bring manufacturing jobs back to the US, tear up unfavourable trade deals, and curb illegal immigration.  During an election campaign generally regarded as the most acrimonious in living memory, Mr Trump drew accusations of racism and misogyny, and managed even to alienate many senior members of his own party. Yet despite poll predictions that America would elect its first female president in Hillary Clinton, Mr Trump emerged victorious, claiming key swing states amid an enormous wave of support especially among white working-class voters.

The 37-year-old was about to get engaged and had just started a new job which saw her helping to build computer software used by many millions of people every day. But after her normal commute to her Old Street offices was disrupted when the Tube network was evacuated, she boarded the number 30 bus which was blown up by a suicide bomber at 0947 BST. Ten minutes earlier she had called her sister to relate the chaotic exodus from Euston station. She also called her boyfriend Gous Ali who set out on a desperate search for her after the blast. At the time, Mr Ali described Ms Jain as a "very spiritual, down-to-earth, loving person" who "would not hurt anybody". Born in Delhi in 1967, Neetu lived in the Indian capital for just one year before her father was offered work as an engineer in England and the family moved to London. They first lived in Southall, later moving to Kingsbury before settling in Hendon in 1975. Neetu, a Hindu, attended Hendon Senior School where she showed her aptitude for study and science. In 1988, she graduated from King's College, London, with a biochemistry degree, having been recognised for the best academic results in her year. She continued her studies with a masters in IT at University College London, taking on part-time work and summer jobs at the Body Shop, Harrods and as a research assistant at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology. Afterwards, she joined T-Cam and her work took her around the world, from India to Venezuela, to Mexico, Turkey and the US. Tiring of travelling, she joined Smart Logic in 1994. Just two months before her death, she had begun a new job with TXT4 in Hoxton Square, building computer software. At her inquest, her sister, Reetu Jain, said: "At this point, she was the happiest that she had ever been with her career and personal life." She was living in her own flat, close to her parents, and was about to get engaged, her sister added. "My sister was a beautiful, loving person," she said, in a statement read out at the inquest. "When I started a family, she always brought my children such joy. I will never forget their laughter when she was with them and the little games she played on their backs. "Every day I think of all the times we shared. I remember her smile and our daily chats." Ms Jain's statement added that their mother died in March 2007, "heartbroken by the family's loss". Speaking shortly after Neetu's death, former colleague Mike Kelly, who worked with Ms Jain on dotcom ventures for some years, said she had been a pleasure to work with. "Neetu always made the effort to be a friend outside of work," he said. Another colleague, Laurence Gruet, appreciated her support when "things were bad, and work was often bad". "You didn't care about race, religion or riches, or any other of this world's tokens of superficiality; the beauty of your heart was there for all to see," he wrote in a letter to Ms Jain after her death. He went on to say he remembered her last e-mail, trying to get a group of friends together for a meal. "I can't believe there was always one of us too busy to meet up. What a waste! Why do we always believe there will be another day?" The five are thought to have been helped by the criminal group to secure public construction contracts. Police in the regional capital Palermo say it is one of the largest raids they have ever carried out. Analysts say Sicily's Cosa Nostra and other mafia groups have expanded their activities during Italy's recession. Among the assets seized are bank accounts, property and furniture. The five - three brothers and two sisters - are all in their 60s and 70s. They worked as labourers in the early 1980s but went on to become billionaires, Italian media reported. The 29-year-old, who has won 24 Scotland caps, sustained the damage in the 47-17 thrashing of the Dragons earlier this month. Vernon had returned from a 14-month lay-off in February, having struggled to overcome a shoulder problem. The converted back-row is out of contract at the end of the season.

According to Billboard that is the largest sales week for an album since Eminem's The Eminem Show was released 12 years ago. But that's not the only reason for Swift to celebrate. She's now the only act to earn three million-selling weeks with an album. Before 1989, Red sold 1.208 million in it's first week, while Speak Now clocked up 1.047 million sales. It also means 1989 has jumped ahead of Coldplay's Ghost Stories as the biggest-selling album released in 2014. In fact Swift's album sold more than the next 106 titles on this week's chart combined. 1989 is just the 19th album to sell a million copies in a week since SoundScan, a sales-tracking system, began counting weekly numbers back in 1991. Of the last four million-selling weeks, three belong to Swift. Sales of 1989 were split almost evenly between physical copies and digital downloads. The physical release, including a CD version with extra tracks sold only at Target, sold 647,000 copies, while 640,000 copies of the digital version were downloaded.

Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump will attend the grand opening of the hotel. Two separate protest rallies are planned for the event. The hotel and condominium tower developer has been under pressure for months to drop the Trump name from the project. The CA$360m ($274m/£220m) luxury hotel will have its grand opening on Tuesday with an official ribbon cutting and opening gala. The 69-storey Canadian tower - designed by famed architect Arthur Erickson to have a distinctive sleek 45-degree twist as it rises upward - is the second-tallest building on the city's skyline. The luxury hotel and tower in the city was jointly developed by Malaysia-based global property firm TA Global Berhad and Vancouver-based property player Holborn Group. The Trump brand signed on to the project in 2013. US President Donald Trump - then a real estate magnate and not a politician - attended the announcement of that partnership, accompanied by his children, Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr. But the controversy that surrounds Mr Trump has become a public relations nightmare for the developer. The site is the location of choice for anti-Trump protests in Vancouver. Two rallies are planned to coincide with the hotel's big opening - one by Occupy Vancouver and another by two Vancouver high schoolers, Nora Fadel and Yasmin Ahmed, which will include a march to the US consulate. Ms Fadel told the BBC she first pitched the "Resist 4 Peace" rally on Facebook on a whim but found people were interested in voicing their opposition to Mr Trump's administration. "Vancouver has no place for negativity, no place for aggression, no place for such a name," she said. "There is no room to have Trump's name on that building. Vancouver is very diverse, is very positive. " About 40% of the Vancouver population is foreign-born. Politicians in the province of British Columbia have spoken out against Trump's name on the luxury development. In December 2015, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson called for the name to be removed from the building, saying it had no more place on the city's skyline than Donald Trump's "ignorant ideas have in the modern world". Thousands signed a petition calling for the name to be scrubbed from the development. Holborn Group and TA Global chief executive Joo Kim Tiah recently told the Associated Press that he found it "extremely stressful'' when Mr Trump's statements about Muslims, Mexicans and women, among other things, made him unpopular in Vancouver. "I was terrified," Mr Joo Kim said. "The people who ran the city were not happy with me. I was scared, but I think they understand. They understand that I'm trapped into - not trapped, locked into - an agreement." The developer said he had no legal grounds to back out of the licensing deal. Donald Trump Jr told CTV News in 2016 that he believed Vancouverites would warm to the Trump brand with time. And he dismissed a criticism by city councilor Kerry Jang, who called the tower a "beacon of racism", as a headline-grabbing "nonsense comment". Still, despite concern from Mr Trump's opponents, Holborn scored a win when tower's units were sold out last year. At the time, the price of CA$1615 ($1225/£985) per square foot set a record for a Canadian condo project. Like many similar projects worldwide - including the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Toronto - the Trump Organization provides branding for the Vancouver development and manages the property, but does not retain a stake. The Trump Organization is an umbrella company for Donald Trump's investments in real estate, brands and other businesses. In January, Donald Trump said he had formally given "complete and total" control of the Trump Organization's businesses to his two sons in a bid to avoid conflicts of interest. The broadcaster said the programme had been a "hugely successful brand", but would not be shown at the same time as the Winter Olympics in South Korea. The show sees celebrities take on challenges like speed skating and ski-jumping and has run for four seasons. But 34 contestants, including actress Tina Hobley and Strictly Come Dancing star Ola Jordan, have been injured. Jordan suffered a leg injury while former Coronation Street star actress Hobley broke her arm in two places. There have also been injuries to: Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews was the latest winner of the show, which has been presented by Davina McCall. A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said: "The Jump has been a hugely successful brand for Channel 4 over the last four years. "However, with such a huge amount of winter sport on screen at the start of 2018 we have decided to rest the show for the year."

Authoritarian President Islam Karimov can still count on a fourth consecutive victory. But an unprecedented mass gathering in honour of an Islamic scholar who died earlier in the month rattled a regime which keeps a tight grip. The event - right in the middle of the campaign - suggested that people's acquiescence cannot be taken for granted. In startling contrast to poorly-attended election events, huge crowds flooded the streets of the capital, Tashkent, on 11 March following the death of Sheikh Muhammad Sodiq Muhammad Yusuf. Traffic came to a standstill as people paid their respects in a spontaneous outpouring of grief. It was a highly unusual scene for a country where public gatherings are tightly controlled. The authorities have an uneasy relationship with Islam, flourishing since independence, and the state has cracked down hard on anyone it suspects of militant tendencies. John MacLeod, Central Asia analyst of the Institute of War and Peace Reporting, thinks the mass gathering was born not just from religious sentiment. "I think it's not necessarily about political Islam, but it shows that people are not completely cowed," he says. "They care about their livelihoods, they care about their children's future like everybody else and they are very disappointed and disillusioned in the political and judicial systems." Many Uzbeks suffer economic hardship and millions have been forced to seek work as migrant workers abroad, mainly in Russia. But with the Russian economy struggling, an increasing number have returned and are unemployed, meaning vital remittance payments have dwindled. John MacLeod says people have little faith in the state and its institutions, and no means to express their disappointment. "There are no political parties or proper trade unions, there aren't the normal channels for people to vent their unhappiness and communicate it to the authorities and get something done about it." The election campaign itself has been a lifeless affair, as many would have predicted. Election posters on the streets of Tashkent look almost identical, featuring portraits of the various candidates and largely interchangeable slogans. Mr Karimov's poster bears the call: "Our goal is peace, prosperity and democratic modernisation for the country." The slogan of one of his supposed rivals, Akmal Saidov reads: "From national revival to national development." It's not stuff to get the heart racing. What's more, not a single candidate competing with Mr Karimov voices even a hint of criticism of the incumbent and his record. Instead, most have been praising Mr Karimov's achievements. Mr Saidov, for example, drew parallels between the current president and the medieval conqueror Tamerlane, who is revered as Uzbekistan's national hero. All candidates are current officials: A former teacher-turned-senator, a geologist-turned-environmental official and a lawyer who now heads the national human rights body. John MacLeod says it's reminiscent of the way Soviet leaders used to orchestrate a semblance of legitimacy. "Even in the Soviet period there were always elections. Single candidates would be put forward and people would be bussed in to take part," he says. "So it is the inertia of that Soviet tradition, that somehow - if you hold elections - that makes it the people's choice." But while the election process grinds on, observers say there is a very real battle for power being fought behind the scenes. The debate over who will succeed the 77-year-old president has been raging for years. The theory that his powerful elder daughter Gulnara was being groomed for the top post fell apart last year when her business empire was dismantled. Ms Karimova, whose exploits as a pop star and fashion designer were ever-present in the Uzbek media, was put under house arrest after a spectacular and very public row with her mother and sister, fought out on social media. The scandal has been widely interpreted as both a sign of political rivalries breaking into the open and an indication that President Karimov may be losing his grip. Many analysts say he has found himself increasingly isolated, not always fully informed and with no obvious successor in place. So while the presidential election seems a routine exercise, the post-Karimov era is more unpredictable than ever. Rustam Inoyatov, 70, is chairman of the powerful SNB security service and one of the longest-serving members of the Uzbek political elite. A leaked US diplomatic cable from 2008 described him as a "key gatekeeper to President Karimov" and his style as alternating between "engaging and menacing". Mr Inoyatov is regarded as the main instigator behind moves to sideline President Karimov's once-powerful daughter Gulnara. Shavkat Mirziyoyev, 58, is the country's longest-serving prime minister with a reputation for being ruthless. He has denied past allegations of mistreating subordinates, telling a BBC journalist in 1998 that it was "not his style to beat someone". Mr Mirziyoyev is camera-shy, with sources at state TV saying he has given a personal order not to show him on TV so as not to irritate President Karimov. He is reported to have close links with powerful oligarchs and is in charge of the country's key agricultural sector including the cotton industry, which has been criticised for the use of child and forced labour. Rustam Azimov, the 56-year-old finance minister, is the most recognisable face of the Uzbek government abroad. Born into a family of respected academics, he chairs the US-Uzbek inter-governmental commission and is described in the Russian media as Washington's preferred successor to President Karimov. Fluent in English, he is believed to be in favour of more liberal economic policies. He is credited with the Uzbek government's attempts to open up the economy in the late 1990s. Some analysts describe Mr Azimov as a rival to the prime minister. The Karimov family. The president's elder daughter, Gulnara, was long considered a potential successor, drawing on an extensive business and media empire. But after an apparent falling out with her father in 2013 Gulnara was sidelined and has been under house arrest for a year. She also fell out publicly with her sister, Lola Karimova-Tillayeva, whose profile has been on the rise. However the younger sister says she has no political or business ambitions. Pahlavon Turgunov contributed to this report Mr Carmichael is facing calls to resign after admitting he backed the leaking of a memo during the election campaign incorrectly suggesting Nicola Sturgeon wanted David Cameron as prime minister. The MP for Orkney and Shetland said previously he had not been aware of it. Sir Malcolm said the MP had been wrong but lying was common in public life. The SNP have called on Mr Carmichael - the only remaining Lib Dem MP in Scotland - to consider his position after an official Cabinet Office inquiry found he approved the leak of an official memo by his special adviser to a newspaper during the campaign. The document, written by a civil servant in the Scotland Office, claimed the Scottish First Minister told the French Ambassador to the UK that she would prefer Mr Cameron as prime minister rather than Ed Miliband - comments Ms Sturgeon has always insisted she never made. At the time, Mr Carmichael said the first he had heard of the memo was when he was contacted by a journalist. He has since acknowledged that while he had not seen the document before it was published, he was aware of its content and agreed that it should be made public. The parliamentary standards commissioner has said she has received a number of complaints about Mr Carmichael's conduct and is considering whether they fall within her remit. The BBC's Tim Reid said Mr Carmichael was not an MP at the time of the episode - because parliament had broken up for the general election - but he was campaigning to retain his seat and remained a cabinet minister. A member of the public has also complained to the police about Mr Carmichael's conduct, our correspondent added. Sir Malcolm said Mr Carmichael had faced up to the consequences of his actions, having apologised and foregone the severance pay he was entitled to after losing his Cabinet position. But he told the BBC that it was "perfectly reasonable" for him to remain as a "first-class" MP for Orkney and Shetland. "Alistair has recognised that he has made a mistake," he told Radio 4's Today programme. "People are entitled to make mistakes, learn from them and move on." Sir Malcolm, who was MP for 30 years until retiring at the election, said Scotland was a "divided and bruised" country after the election and that Mr Carmichael, as one of only three non-SNP MPs elected to Westminster, had a key role to play in representing his constituents and holding both the UK and Scottish governments to account. The SNP, he said, were "judging people by standards that they do not apply to themselves" and if Mr Carmichael quit "what we will have seen is the SNP bully a very good MP out of office for a mistake he has acknowledged and apologised for". "The SNP clearly want to extinguish all opposition in Scotland. That is their objective and they will stop at nothing to do it." Asked whether it would be acceptable for an MP who had not told the truth to remain in office, he replied: "I'm acknowledging that if (Mr Carmichael) has said 'I didn't know about something I did know in the heated atmosphere of an election campaign' that was part of the mistake, which he has apologised for." "My point is if you are suggesting that every MP who has never quite told the truth or indeed told a brazen lie - including ministers, including Cabinet ministers, including prime ministers - we would clear out the House of Commons very fast, I would suggest. Asked if lying was widespread in public life, he said: "No, well, yes. I think the answer is that lots of people have told lies and you know that to be perfectly true.... He added: "We should, of course, hold people to account and if people lie they should take some consequences but Alistair has taken consequences." The SNP said the comments amounted to an "increasingly desperate attempt to defend the indefensible". "Being an MP or MSP is a huge privilege for anyone elected to serve - and untruthfulness can never be simply brushed aside in the way that Sir Malcolm suggests it should," said MP Pete Wishart. "The Lib Dems' defence of Mr Carmichael gets more ludicrous by the day, and all Sir Malcolm has succeeded in doing is to keep the focus on his colleague." The Cabinet Office said the cost of its investigation had been "minimal" and said there were no plans for a further investigation into whether Mr Carmichael had breached the ministerial code. Labour MP John Mann said the row illustrated the need for a stronger system of voter recall for politicians accused of misconduct. "There are plenty of people who avoid answering a question but that is not the same as lying," he said. Under a law championed by the Lib Dems in the last Parliament, an MP's seat becomes vacant if they are suspended from the Commons for at least 10 days and a 10% of their constituents subsequently sign a petition calling for a by-election. There has also been criticism from one prominent Lib Dem activist. "It is a rubbish defence/excuse and not one a party reduced from 57 MPs to just 8 should be making," tweeted Stephen Tall, former co-editor of the Lib Dem Voice website. The Scottish Liberal Democrats have said that Mr Carmichael, who held off a strong challenge from the SNP to regain his seat by 817 votes, will not face any disciplinary action. The deficit in the three months to March was £32.6bn, the Office for National Statistics said, down slightly from the upwardly revised £33.96bn recorded in the final quarter of 2015. A current account deficit means the value of imports of goods, services and investment income exceeds exports. Separate data confirmed the UK economy grew 0.4% in the first quarter of 2016. The gap between imports and exports may be helped by the falling pound, which will make UK-manufactured goods cheaper overseas. The pound fell to its lowest level against the dollar for more than 30 years after the country's decision to leave the EU. However, before the referendum on 23 June, the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, said that a vote to leave the bloc would test the "kindness of strangers". He was referring to investors who might now have second thoughts about putting their money into British assets, including government debt, in an uncertain environment. Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, described the current account figures as "highly uncomfortable" for the UK economy. He added: "There is a substantial danger that the UK will find it increasingly hard to attract the inward flows of capital needed to finance the current account deficit, particularly given its recent credit rating downgrades and the very real possibility of more to come." Ratings agency Fitch predicted on Wednesday that investment would fall by 5% next year because of the uncertain climate created by the Brexit vote. Martin Beck, senior economic advisor to the EY Item Club, described the near-record current account deficit as "fairly depressing", but suggested there might be a silver lining. He said: "We would expect the current account deficit to narrow significantly from this point onwards, through a combination of the impact of the sizeable depreciation of the pound on exports and more subdued demand for imports." The growth in GDP of 0.4% was in line with forecasts and was up 2% on the same period last year. The 32-year-old batsman has been at odds with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) since he quit limited-overs internationals in May. He told the BBC's Test Match Special: "I can't give any assurances [that the next Test will not be his last]. "I love playing Test cricket, but there are obstacles and I'll decide what happens at the end of the next Test." His retirement from the shorter formats of the international game came after the ECB rejected his desire to play in Twenty20 internationals but not one-day matches. Media playback is not supported on this device Then, media reports in June suggested that he could play all three formats if he was granted permission to play in the entire Indian Premier League tournament in 2013. That would have meant missing home Test matches against New Zealand next May. However, the Surrey player said the availability for the IPL and the ICC World Twenty20 in September was only part of the discussions taking place with the ECB. "That is two of many points and they are not the main two points," said Pietersen, who was named as man of the match for his 149 in the second Test at Headingley. "There's other points that I'm trying to sort out in the dressing room. "Family time is another point, but there's a lot of other issues more important that need sorting. After the next Test match we'll know a lot more. "It's absolutely 100% not about money. There are clear things that I'm discussing, but there are other issues that need to be sorted." Test debut: v Australia (Lord's), 21 July 2005 Test record: 88 matches, 151 innings, 7,076 runs, highest score 227, average 49.48, 27 fifties, 21 centuries One-day international debut: v Zimbabwe (Harare), 28 November 2004 ODI record: 127 matches, 116 innings, 4,184 runs, highest score 130, average 41.84, 23 fifties, nine centuries T20 international debut: v Australia (Southampton), 15 June 2005 T20 international record: 36 matches, 36 innings, 1,176 runs, highest score 79, average 37.93, seven fifties Pietersen, who has played in 88 Tests, also expressed his anger that details of his discussions with the ECB had been made public. "Did I leak anything to the media about the meetings I was having with the ECB? I never spoke to the media for one single second," he insisted. "I never spoke a single word about anything that happened behind closed doors, or what I thought was closed doors." The South Africa-born right-hander, who resigned as England captain after only three Tests in 2009 after a rift with then coach Peter Moores, also said he is aware of the concern his possible retirement would cause supporters. "For me, the saddest part about all this is that the spectators love watching me play and I love playing for England," said the former Hampshire and Nottinghamshire man. "The politics is what I have to deal with personally. It's tough being me and playing for England, it's tough." Captain Andrew Strauss said the Pietersen controversy would not cause a distraction in the run-up to the third Test at Lord's, a match that England need to win in order to level the series and keep their spot at the top of the world rankings. "It's always the case that you want to take anything that's happening off the field, put it to one side and concentrate on winning a Test match for England," said Strauss. "It's important to stress that the team spirit in this England side over the past three years has been outstanding. It's something we pride ourselves on and will continue to."

Other job losses would include 15 at Trostre, Llanelli along with jobs going at Hartlepool in north east England and at Corby, Northamptonshire. It said "tough actions are critical in the face of extremely difficult market conditions". Karl Koehler, chief executive of Tata Steel's European operations, said: "We need the European Commission to accelerate its response to unfairly traded imports and increase the robustness of its actions. Not doing so threatens the future of the entire European steel industry. "And while we welcome progress on UK energy costs, the (UK) government must take urgent action to increase the competitiveness of the UK for its vital steel sector. "This includes lowering business rates and supporting energy efficiency and anti-dumping cases so we can compete fairly." Stuart Wilkie, hub director of Tata UK's strip mills division, said they were taking the necessary steps to keep the 3,500 jobs remaining jobs in Port Tabot but still needed help. "State aid or part nationalisation isn't the way forward," he said. "We want a level playing field that we can compete on our own two feet in the European and global market place." He believed they could turn it around but could not say Monday's job losses were enough to secure the plant or satisfy Tata bosses in India. "I couldn't write off anything. The challenge is we need the workforce and ourselves as managers to respond to the challenges if we're to sustain a long term future for the plant in Port Talbot." Prime Minister David Cameron said: "We'll work very closely with the company, with the local communities to do everything we can, to get people the training and the assistance they need. "And we'll continue to help the steel industry." Labour said the UK Government had delivered "little concrete action" but Business Minister Anna Soubry insisted it had responded to many of the demands from the steel industry and was creating a "level playing field" such as cutting energy costs. First Minister Carwyn Jones described the job cuts as a "devastating blow" to the community and the wider economy. Earlier, Community general secretary Roy Rickhuss called for "meaningful action" from the UK government. Cheap Chinese imports, a strong pound and high energy costs have been called "a perfect storm" for the UK steel industry. Mr Rickhuss added: "The dumping of cheap Chinese steel is one of the biggest causes of this crisis, yet the UK government remains a cheerleader for China and their bid for 'market economy status', which would decimate what's left of our steel industry. This cannot be allowed to happen." But he called for long-term commitment to steel making in the UK from Tata after "significant sacrifices" from its workforce. Analysis by Brian Meechan, BBC Wales business correspondent The steelworks have been part of the scene in Port Talbot for decades. It is the biggest plant in the UK, providing well paid jobs that are difficult to replace. For every job in the steelworks, it is estimated another four jobs in the local economy are supported. This is another bitter blow for the Tata plant and an industry that has been struggling and a workforce that has put a lot in, in recent years, to try to make Tata competitive. But it is fighting against global forces including cheap imports from China. The UK government has put in measures recently to deal with high energy costs but the industry has been calling for these for four or five years. The steel industry has not really recovered from the financial crash in 2008 when at its height people stopped buying white goods, cars, and construction stopped. We talk a lot about dumping but it is cheaper to produce steel in China and that is not going to change. Tata have invested quite heavily in Port Talbot with the new blast furnace in particular and also in the workforce and it has been quite patient. But ultimately the concern is that patience will eventually run out. We are looking at a meeting at Tata headquarters in India in a few weeks time and the company will look at the proposals made by Tata UK and may think that is a best case scenario and does not go far enough. Tata Steel Europe, which employs 17,000 in the UK, is in the throes of a wide-scale reorganisation of its business. It employs now around 5,500 in Wales and has made 5,000 cuts in the UK over the last year. It is estimated to be losing £1m a day at Port Talbot alone. It currently puts £200m a year into the Welsh economy in wages. Andy Richards, Unite Wales secretary, said steel "runs through the heart of the Welsh economy". He added: "Job losses on this scale will reverberate through the supply chain, communities and associated industries across Wales." The Federation of Small Business described the losses as a "a hammer blow". Tata Steel employs more than 80,000 people worldwide and is part of the wider Tata Group, an Indian conglomerate. Founded more than 100 years ago, it has grown into a global producer with operations in 26 countries and revenue of around £15bn last year. It became Europe's second largest steel producer, and the biggest in the UK, after it bought Corus, formerly British Steel, for £8bn in 2007. Tata also has plants in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium and south east Asia. The steel it produces is used to make a huge range of products, from cars to office furniture and battery cases. The Northern Ireland Assembly has passed the Human Trafficking and Exploitation Bill, which includes a clause criminalising payment for sex. The private member's bill was brought before the house by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) peer Lord Morrow and passed its final stage on Tuesday. The bill will be submitted to the Queen for Royal Assent, before becoming law. Lord Morrow told the assembly his Christian faith underpinned his decision to bring forward the wide-ranging legislation. He described human trafficking as "a heinous crime" that had to be tackled in Northern Ireland. The peer acknowledged that clause 15 of the new legislation, which criminalises those who pay for sexual services, was "clearly the most divisive aspect of my bill". At present, prostitution legislation criminalises aspects of selling sex, for example running a brothel. Justice Minister David Ford, who described the bill as "ground-breaking", said he still had misgivings about the prostitution clause. Mr Ford said it had "diverted the focus away from some of the other important measures and into the moral issues surrounding the purchase of sex". Opponents of the clause have argued that it would be difficult to enforce and claimed a ban no paying for sex would push vulnerable sex workers further underground. Green Party MLA Steven Agnew said he remained concerned that the clause involving prostitution could be "counterproductive in relation to the aims of the bill". Lord Morrow's bill could lead the way in efforts by campaigners to outlaw the purchase of sex across the island of Ireland. Last month, the Irish government announced that it also plans to criminalise the payment of prostitutes in the Republic of Ireland. Irish Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald published a draft bill that proposed wide-ranging reforms to sexual offences legislation, including a new measure making it a crime to pay for sex. Jake Morisette put Cardiff ahead in the first period but Brandon Benedict replied for the hosts. Joey Martin and Brent Walton twice restored the Devils' lead but Colin Shields and Michael Forney were on target for the Giants. James Desmarais found the net in the first period of overtime. The sides will meet again at the same venue on Saturday night. The 29-year-old man suffered serious head injuries in the collision with a purple Mazda on the B9016 Keith to Buckie road, near Aultmore, shortly after 20:00 on Sunday. He was flown to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment. The road was closed for several hours for accident investigators to examine the scene. It later reopened. Sgt Jon Barron of Police Scotland said: "Detailed enquiries are under way in order to establish the full circumstances of this serious collision. "I would like to take this opportunity to urge any potential witnesses to come forward and speak to us." "In particular, the enquiry team are interested in speaking to anyone who witnessed the actual collision and anyone who saw either of the vehicles prior to the incident or who may have been driving in the immediate area around the time." Meanwhile, a motorcyclist suffered what were described as potentially life-changing injuries when he hit a signpost on the A92 near Stonehaven on Sunday morning. Another male motorcyclist was airlifted to hospital following an accident on the A93 near Ballater on Sunday afternoon. And on Saturday, a man was taken to hospital by air ambulance following a crash involving a car and a motor home on the A97 Huntly to Rhynie road. Newcomers Podemos, an anti-austerity party, and Citizens, a liberal party, are challenging the ruling Popular Party (PP) and the Socialists. Opinion polls have put Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's PP narrowly ahead. While he has been in power, Spain has emerged from a financial crisis into a period of economic growth. The conservative PP currently has a majority in Spain's lower house of parliament. New parties Citizens and Podemos are fielding national candidates for the first time. However, the BBC's Tom Burridge in Madrid says both Podemos and Citizens look set to take a take a large chunk of the vote, ending the power monopoly of Spain's traditional heavyweights. It is almost certain that no party will get a majority of MPs in the parliament, our correspondent says, meaning some form of coalition will have to be agreed before a government can be formed. Spanish politics have been dominated by the economy, corruption allegations and a separatist drive in the prosperous northeastern region of Catalonia. Mr Rajoy's administration adopted unpopular austerity measures and job reforms that have been credited with returning the Spanish economy to growth. Pablo Iglesias, 37, university lecturer, leader of new anti-capitalist party Podemos. Sound-bite: "The problem isn't Greece, the problem is Europe.

Sound-bite: "Who today is talking about bailout Spain? No-one" Corruption dominates debate New faces in politics New political era However, unemployment remains high at 21%, the second-highest rate in the EU after Greece, although it has fallen from its 2013 peak of 27%. The PP has also been damaged by corruption scandals. The central government in Madrid has also had to contend with an attempt by Catalonia to break away from the rest of Spain. Pro-independence parties in Catalonia won an absolute majority in regional elections in September and a month later passed a motion to begin the process of declaring independence. Spain's Constitutional Court has revoked that motion, but Catalonia's leaders said they would ignore it. Mr Rajoy has vowed to quash the threat to Spanish unity, but other parties favour negotiations to devolve more power to the region, which accounts for about a fifth of Spain's economic output. Ahead of the vote, the party leaders made a point of relaxing as they observed a "day of reflection". Mr Rajoy said he wanted some fresh air and went for a jog around the official prime minister's residence. However his campaign was marred last week after a teenager punched him in the face during a visit to the town of Pontevedra in the northwest. Mr Rajoy has also raised questions about his future by including his deputy, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, on campaign posters and fielding her in his place during a leaders TV debate. Meanwhile Socialist leader Pedro Sanchez, a 43-year-old former basketball player, wathed his daughters play basketball match and Pablo Iglesias booked a ticket for the new Star Wars film.

He also has $100,000 (£82,000) in several different bank accounts, 15 properties and a collection of 12 luxury watches. Mr Groysman published a list of his assets in line with Ukraine's new anti-corruption rules, which compel all senior public officials to declare their wealth in a new electronic database. He has been a public official in Ukraine for the past 14 years. The reforms are seen as necessary for Kiev to continue enjoying the support of its Western partners. Around 50,000 top public officials, including judges, politicians and civil servants, are expected to publish their declarations by Sunday. In a statement published on his Facebook page, Mr Groysman said his "considerable savings" were down to "property and my corporate rights…along with income from my wife's business." He is not the only Ukrainian politician to possess an eye-watering amount of cash. Another member of parliament, Viktor Romanyuk, has declared that he has $753,000 (£618,000). And the controversial mayor of Ukraine's second biggest city Kharkiv, Gennadiy Kernes, has declared that he has more than $1.6m (£1.3m) in hard currency. He supported the pro-Russian separatist forces in eastern Ukraine in 2014, but later switched to backing the Ukrainian government. The revelations will do little for public trust in politicians in a country where the minimum monthly wage is a meagre $56.69 (£46.61). Ukraine country profile Ukraine president denies tax claims The habit of some senior politicians to hoard cash is hardly a vote of confidence in the country's banks, which themselves have been undergoing extensive reforms. "A person who has cash doesn't trust the financial system," said Alexander Valchyshen, from Kiev-based asset management group ICU. "True accounting", he said, was needed to create a stable economy and to stop "financial cheating" and increase confidence in the banks. However, overall Ukraine's e-declaration scheme is seen as a crucial step in tackling corruption, which is a key concern for foreign investors. Oleksandra Ustinova from Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Action Centre described the new scheme as "revolutionary". She hopes the system, which will automatically flag up suspect declarations for the new anti-corruption bureau to investigate, will lead to prosecutions. Ms Ustinova said 500 judges had already resigned, instead of completing their declarations. And she believes a new anti-corruption court is key if Ukraine is to capitalise on the new reforms and start prosecuting corrupt officials. Draft legislation for the creation of such a court is expected to come before Ukraine's parliament in the coming weeks. There is no evidence that any of the politicians mentioned in this article have broken the law. And the online declarations are likely to please Ukraine's backers in Washington and Western Europe. The UK Ambassador to Kiev, Judith Gough, tweeted that the prime minister's declaration was an "important step". Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko, one of the richest men in the country, is still to complete his declaration. A spokesman said it would be finished before Sunday's deadline. Before becoming president Mr Poroshenko amassed considerable wealth running a chocolate business. Biowatch contains a tiny camera that takes a photo of your wrist and stores a snapshot of your blood vessels. The watch then checks that your veins match the photo every time you put it on.

Philip Ledward, 62, of Whitchurch, Shropshire, was killed in November 2011 while working for Arkenfield Stable Hire Ltd. On Tuesday, the Bronington company pleaded guilty to breaching health and safety rules at Mold Crown Court. Judge Niclas Parry said the "derisory" fine reflected the firm's means. He described the heavy goods vehicle mechanic as a well-liked, highly regarded and respectable employee, father and husband and said the penalty was not intended to reflect the loss of life. He added if the company had significant resources the financial penalty would have been £50,000. The company must also pay costs of £5,000. Third Energy wants to fracture underground rocks at a site near the village of Kirby Misperton in Ryedale. The Environment Agency said the event in Kirby Misperton related to Third Energy's application for the necessary environmental permits. An amended planning application is expected to be submitted to the county council by the end of June. Fracking is a technique for extracting gas or oil trapped between layers of rock by forcing the layers open using water, sand and chemicals under high pressure. Third Energy insists the procedure is safe and poses no danger to the community. Anti-fracking campaigners are concerned about the effects of the process and have held a number of demonstrations against the plans. A 1,000-signature petition calling on the county council to oppose fracking has also been submitted. The Environment Agency said it welcomed comments from the public about the application and on local environmental factors. Martin Christmas, environment manager at the agency, said: "Our regulatory controls for onshore oil and gas are in place to protect people and the environment. "We will assess the proposals to ensure they meet our strict requirements." The agency's drop-in session at Kirby Misperton village hall runs from 12:00 to 20:00 BST. The Environment Agency consultation lasts until 10 July. However, Merchant Hotel Ltd had a solid trading performance with turnover rising to more than £11m. That equated to a trading profit of about £1m after interest payments. A note in the accounts states that the value of the building was written down by £4.1m . The firm said it has also "substantially agreed" long-term arrangements with the bank that now controls its loans. In 2014, the loans relating to the hotel were sold to Goldman Sachs by Ulster Bank. Ulster Bank has sold a large number of loans in a move to reduce its involvement in property-related lending. The Merchant accounts state that although the process of reaching agreement with Goldman Sachs is "not yet finalised" the directors expect "adequate facilities" will be secured. The hotel is is owned by Bill Wolsey, Beannchor Group. Mr Wolsey is one of the leading figures in Northern Ireland's hospitality business. In a statement the group said: "The Merchant Hotel has reported a strong trading period, however, following impairment write-downs this has reflected a loss in the accounts for the year. "Long-term funding has been agreed with Beltany Property Finance Limited (Goldman Sachs affiliate). "Directors remain optimistic about future trading performance." It was going to be a laboratory for democracy.

The university in Budapest in Hungary is still going strong, with graduate students from more than 100 countries studying courses taught in English. But the challenges have changed. If the university was created on a rising tide of democracy, it now has to examine liberal values under pressure. In parts of Eastern Europe, the voices of authoritarianism and nationalism are getting louder. The president of the Central European University is John Shattuck, an American human rights lawyer, law professor, diplomat and former assistant secretary of state in the Clinton administration. The university, he says, was founded to "resuscitate and revive intellectual freedom" in parts of Europe that had lived for decades under the "horrific ideologies" of communism and fascism. But if Budapest is a crossroads between Eastern and Western Europe, he says that we're now living in an era approaching its own crossroads. "We're in another period of time, which is as disruptive and complicated as it was in 1991 when the university was founded." The financial crash, the loss of confidence in party politics in the West, the rise of the "Putin model" of government, the weakness of international institutions are all raising "a set of questions that haven't been asked for 25 years". "We see very dangerous trends at work," he says, such as the rise of "xenophobia" and antagonism towards immigrants. The university is addressing some of these big questions in a project called "frontiers of democracy". What does freedom mean in an era of digital information? What is the place for local identity in a globalised economy? How can an open society be defended? It also wants to put principles into practice. There is a university access project for students from the Roma community. A digital learning project is opening up debates and the idea of free speech with universities in Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and Kazakhstan. This is an institution with departments with titles such as the Centre for the Study of Imperfections in Democracies. Prof Shattuck says too many universities have lost a sense of moral purpose. The pressure on funding has turned universities into places turning out products rather than ideas, he says. It means students are not being exposed to the "traditions of democracy and political philosophy". Prof Shattuck says the challenge is to "understand what is appealing about a more authoritarian approach, why racism is re-emerging". He believes it is driven by "fear of change, fear of economic retrenchment... and when you feel insecure you want someone to solve your problems without having to think about them yourself". "Or you start demonising, making immigrants the targets. This is what happens in society." Prof Shattuck says he remains an optimist. He has faith that an open society in the end will prove the most successful and efficient. He believes in the capacity of law to hold powers to account. As a young lawyer he put this in to practice, successfully suing Richard Nixon for wiretapping in 1976. He also worked on the legal pursuit of human rights violations in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. But there is no escaping the sense that some old and uncomfortable ghosts are coming back to life. In Hungary, the prime minister has promoted the idea of an "illiberal democracy", looking eastwards to Russia rather than westwards to the European Union. There are even more extreme ultra-nationalist voices, with the Jobbik party growing in strength. Wolfgang Reinicke, dean of the university's school of public policy, says the traditional model of Western democracy is in "deep crisis". "It was easy to look good," he says, when the contrast was with the Berlin Wall. But in the following decades it has become more difficult for democracies to remain relevant and representative. "We had the audacity and the hubris when the Soviet Union collapsed to bask in our victories, without realising that it was not the end of history - and the problems were only about to begin." He warns that too often national governments lack the capacity to control a globalised economy and sophisticated financial markets. It means they run along behind events, looking more and more powerless and discredited, only able to offer "crisis management". The city is a reminder that there is nothing inevitable about what happens next. There are Turkish, Austro-Hungarian and Soviet era buildings, from regimes that must have seemed permanent but were swept away. The university occupies a building that began as an aristocrat's palace before becoming state-owned offices for a planned socialist economy. It's now filled with the American English accents of bright young cosmopolitan students. In the university's business school, the dean, Mel Horwitch, says many of the debates about the future of democracy now lie within the business sphere. An open society needs to deliver. "When you throw off an authoritative regime there's all this hope," he says, but without prosperity there will be "profound disappointment". "If you have a stagnant economy, if you're not competitive, it doesn't work." There was euphoria after the wall fell, but not much business strategy, he says. And in the financial crash, Hungary's fledgling market economy was hit harder than the bigger, more resilient Western financial centres. "It had a much more permanent, pessimistic impact," says Prof Horwitch. The country is "stuck" economically and now has to navigate a more "volatile world". The university is looking for ways for the region to compete. It's setting up a course in managing big data, wanting Budapest to become a knowledge hub like Boston, London or Berlin. Many of the students at the university were not even born when the Berlin Wall fell. And their debates are about how democracy works in an age of Twitter and identity politics. How much have the economic problems of free markets raised doubts about the political value of free speech? A student from Norway says she grew up in an era of prosperity, but now sees a changing landscape. "You realise how vulnerable democracy is." The Tigers sit bottom of the table with just one win and one draw from their 11 matches this season. The former St Helens, Wigan and Leigh coach took over from Terry Matterson for the 2012 season but Cas struggled for form and finished in 13th place. He leaves the club with a record of seven wins from 38 matches. Of the potential successors John Kear looks a strong choice. The former Hull FC and Wakefield head coach once spoke of Cas as his "dream" job. Former Tigers forward Andy Hay may be in the frame yet could opt to stay as Hull FC assistant where coach Peter Gentle's position is far from secure. The Tigers may look at Featherstone's highly-rated coach Daryl Powell but the former Great Britain international is enjoying the challenge of leading a competitive Featherstone side in the Championship. The 52-year-old is the second top-flight coach to lose his job this year after Salford sacked Phil Veivers after just five games. The start of the Australian's tenure with the club was overshadowed by personal tragedy when he was granted compassionate leave in February last year after the sudden death of his 19-year-old son. After he returned to the club in March, the Tigers suffered a fourth-round Challenge Cup exit at the hands of Championship side Featherstone in April and would go on to win just three more matches all season. There was a large turnover of players in the close season but results failed to improve, with their only win so far this term coming against Leeds Rhinos in February. Assistant coach Danny Orr will take temporary charge of the first team and is set to lead them in the home match against Widnes on Saturday. Coastguards found the woman, who has dementia, on Sunday morning after a three-hour search of the Penzance area. Lyn Hughes, manager of Tolverth House in Longrock, said "all procedures were followed" and the woman "escaped through a fire exit". The care home has been rated as requiring improvement in its safety by the Care Quality Commission. Ms Hughes said: "The patient escaped through a fire exit which had recently been fitted with new locks. All procedures were followed. "She was checked every hour [by law residents must be checked every two hours] and once staff realised she was missing the authorities were alerted." Penzance, St Ives and Lands End coastguard rescue teams joined the police and the Penlee RNLI lifeboats and a coastguard rescue helicopter in searching several miles of coast. Andy Cattrell, senior coastal operations officer, said: "We and the police were very concerned. She was 90 years of age, a vulnerable patient of a local care home. With someone that age, she needed finding." They hope to capitalise on Chancellor George Osborne's offer to devolve more political and spending powers. In Greater Manchester, a deal was dependent on the city agreeing to have an elected "metro mayor". But local Labour and Conservative politicians have expressed doubts about the idea of a mayor for the region. Mr Osborne said last year that "no model of local power will be the same". Bristol's independent mayor George Ferguson met the leaders of Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire councils last week to discuss how they could bid for more powers. In a joint statement, they said: "We agree today to undertake a review of governance on how we strengthen our joint working as four unitary authorities, with a view to obtaining devolved powers from the government for the benefit of all our residents." The review is expected to take up to 18 months. The focus on the "northern powerhouse" idea has prompted some debate locally about how a "western powerhouse" might take shape. Somerset County Council leader John Osman, a Conservative, is convening a meeting of all south west council leaders on 5 August to discuss the issue. Labour councillors on four councils have already said they will fight any plans for a "metro mayor" while Tim Warren, the Conservative leader of Bath and North East Somerset, has said he was not keen on the idea either. The series 19 Kids and Counting on TLC stars a conservative Christian couple and their 19 children. It has been alleged that the eldest son Josh Duggar molested five underage girls as a teenager. Duggar has not admitted to the abuse but has apologised for his behaviour, saying he acted "inexcusably". "I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions," 27-year-old Duggar wrote in a statement on Facebook on Thursday. "In my life today, I am so very thankful for God's grace, mercy and redemption." TLC network said that it was "deeply saddened and troubled by this heartbreaking situation". "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and victims at this difficult time," the statement said. Arkansas police said on Friday they had received a court order to destroy records of a nearly decade-old investigation into Josh Duggar. No charges were filed against him. Police concluded the statute of limitations had passed, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper. On Thursday Duggar resigned his role with a prominent conservative Christian group amid reports about the allegations. Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who has been supported by Mr Duggar's parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, defended the family on his Facebook page on Friday. "Josh's actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, 'inexcusable', but that doesn't mean 'unforgivable'," he wrote. The coastguard received a call from the ambulance service to rescue the man at about 14:20 GMT on Tuesday. Teams from Newcastle, Kilkeel and Portaferry as well as the Portaferry inshore lifeboat were involved in the operation. The man's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Senior Maritimes Operation Officer with the coastguard, Dawn Petrie, said the man was playing golf and had "an unfortunate fall". He was taken by helicopter to the Royal Victoria Hospital. The Scottish Local Government Partnership (SLGP) comprises of Aberdeen, Glasgow, Renfrewshire and South Lanarkshire councils. They broke away from umbrella group Cosla last year. Ms Constance said the government "will only negotiate with one body". Cosla remains the only forum for official government funding negotiations, so the breakaway SLGP lodged papers at the Court of Session on Friday to take legal action to assert their right to be formally consulted. Ms Constance has now written to the SLGP offering a meeting. The group has hailed the move as a "huge breakthrough" in their relations with the Scottish government. Convener Jenny Laing said: "They were never going to give us equal negotiating rights with Cosla straight away but the fact that they have both recognised their statutory duty to talk to all local authorities, combined with the offer of bilaterals with ministers and the SLGP, clearly shows that a process is now under way and that will be welcomed by the 1.3 million people we represent across Scotland." She added: "The members in the SLGP represent 47% of Scotland's economy. We have the ideas, passion and drive to grow Scotland's wealth. All we need now are the powers to do it." "The reason we left Cosla was because we felt powerless to fight the cuts being handed down. "The political landscape is shifting rapidly and we all must work closer together in a new era of collaboration in order to get the best possible deal for ordinary, hard-working families." Responding last week to the SLGP's threat of legal action, a Scottish government spokesman said: "We will only negotiate on the final settlement with Cosla, the representative body for Scotland's local authorities. "However, we have a statutory responsibility to consult all 32 councils on the terms of the local government finance settlement." 6 September 2016 Last updated at 19:16 BST He tells the BBC how, together with his friends, he ventures 25m (82 ft) underground, without ropes or safety gear, in search of copper. Video journalist: Horaci Garcia The 22-year-old looked in distress, clutching her right shoulder area, as she failed her first two attempts to snatch 92kg in the 63kg category. British Weightlifing will assess the extent of the injury before deciding on Rio, with the team named in early July. Rebekah Tiler set a new record GB total of 227kg to win the 69kg title. Smith, who won a bronze medal in April at the European Championships, has already secured the Olympic qualifying standard and is the leading British women's candidate for selection. Tiler, 17, has also attained the qualifying standard and took three bronzes at the European Championships. British Weightlifting chief executive Ashley Metcalf said: "We will have the time to assess the extent of Zoe's injury before any decisions regarding Olympic selection can be made. "Our aim is to take the strongest team possible to Rio. The selection meeting for both the men's and women's places is on Tuesday 21st June before the final team announcement to follow in early July." In the men's 94kg event Sonny Webster outlifted Owen Boxall to take the title and put himself in contention for selection with a total of 346kg to Boxall's 343kg.

Hiddink is unhappy Chelsea's FA Cup sixth-round tie at Everton will be played on Saturday, 12 March. Chelsea were due to play Liverpool in the Premier League on 13 March and he doesn't see why the cup tie could not have been arranged for the same time. Hiddink said: "I am frustrated. We have to protect the players." Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini called for change after playing a weakened team in his side's 5-1 fifth round defeat at Chelsea, and Crystal Palace's Alan Pardew also expressed his unease with the situation. The FA said the present fixture calendar is "untenable" after having to schedule Arsenal's FA Cup fifth-round replay at Hull for Tuesday, 8 March (19:00 GMT) on a Champions League night, which Uefa's rules only allow in exceptional circumstances. Chelsea will now have to play four games in 12 days across the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. They travel to face Norwich on Tuesday and welcome Stoke next Saturday, before their Champions League last-16 second-leg tie against Paris St-Germain the following Wednesday and the FA Cup tie three days later. "Hopefully the PSG game doesn't go into extra-time because players need time when the intensity of the league is like it is," Hiddink said. "The medical people at the FA and the Premier League should make this known. Every club has medical departments. The doctors should stand up and say: 'FA, television, whoever.... hey'." Meanwhile, Hiddink says it is "very tight" whether captain John Terry will be fit for the meeting with Paris St-Germain. The 35-year-old has missed three games with a hamstring injury, including Saturday's 2-1 win over Southampton. "I have the experience with these kind of injuries," Hiddink said. "Maybe John needs an 11 versus 11 at Cobham or six versus six or seven versus seven - but with intensity." Spain forward Pedro is also a doubt after he suffered a "problem with his hamstring" in Saturday's victory.

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink says Premier League club doctors should put pressure on the game's authorities to change the fixture calendar.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints leader was handed the maximum sentence possible. Last Thursday, the 55-year-old was found guilty of forcing two girls into "spiritual marriages" and fathering a child with one of them. The charges followed a raid on a remote west Texas ranch in 2008. Jeffs stood quietly in a Texas court on Tuesday as the jury's decision, which only took 30 minutes, was read. He would be eligible for parole in 35 years, said the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Jeffs had referred to himself as a prophet, and the Mormon breakaway sect he leads believes polygamy is the path to heaven. During the trial, prosecutors presented DNA evidence to show Jeffs had fathered a child with a 15-year-old girl, and an audio recording of him sexually assaulting a 12-year-old. The jury heard other tapes in which Jeffs was heard instructing his young wives on how to satisfy him sexually, which he said would please God. Jeffs, who insisted on acting as his own legal defence during the earlier part of the trial, argued he had been prosecuted because of his religious beliefs. The sect leader refused to speak during the sentencing portion of the trial, with a defence lawyer telling the judge his client had instructed his legal team not to speak for him. Jeffs, who had stood expressionless and silent before the jury for nearly half hour during his closing arguments, called only one defence witness to the stand - a man who read from Mormon scripture. Prosecutors said the religious head had spent years travelling around North America and avoiding arrest, ultimately landing on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list. An FBI agent said during the trial that fathers who handed over their daughters to Jeffs were rewarded with young brides of their own. "If the world knew what I was doing, they would hang me from the highest tree," Jeffs wrote in notes, seized from his Texas ranch. When police raided the Texas ranch they found women dressed in frontier-style dresses and underage girls who were clearly pregnant. The 10,000-strong sect, which dominates the towns of Colorado City in Arizona, and Hildale, Utah, split from the mainstream Mormon church more than a century ago. Some students at Mirfield Free Grammar have said they no longer have access to facilities to pray inside the building. The school, near Huddersfield, said it was "a broadly Christian Academy" and sixth form students could leave the site to attend a mosque. A solicitor representing the pupils and families said the next step depended on the school's further response. Yunus Lunat said: "It's a management issue. It should never have got to this stage, it's been going on for more than a year and I'm amazed that it's not been resolved. "The problem is that they are told they cannot pray within the school building and so they've met the challenge - which is part of life - by going outside of the school on the grass verge or on the concrete and that has resulted in disciplinary warnings issued to children." The students told BBC Look North that up until September 2014 Muslim students at the academy had access to prayer mats and space indoors where they could pray. The pupils said the option was "withdrawn without explanation" and now they had no choice but to worship outside. Pupils said travelling to the nearest mosque, praying and then travelling back to school would make them late for subsequent lessons. In a statement, the school's executive principal Lorraine Barker said: "We are a broadly Christian Academy and have never had a prayer room. "Before students join the sixth form, we make them aware of the facilities we have on site and we make it clear we do not have a prayer room. "Sixth form students are welcome to leave the site to attend their own mosque, however, local mosques have offered their facilities to them if this is more convenient." Mr Lunat said he believed there was a case he could take to court "otherwise I wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be doing this". The Department for Education said it was a matter for the school to deal with. The target, the Americans say, was a missile store holding weaponry that Israel feared was going to be transferred to Hezbollah - the Assad regime's main ally in Lebanon. The attack underscores Israel's determination to hinder such weapons transfers. But the US disclosure - this is not the first time that the Americans have confirmed an Israeli strike - creates at least the potential for some tensions between Israel and Washington. Back in January of this year, Israel struck a weapons convoy that intelligence sources suggest was carrying SA-17 advanced surface-to-air missiles that were to be transferred from Syria to Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. That strike was a warning, an effort to dissuade the regime of President Bashar al-Assad from contemplating any similar transfers to his allies in Lebanon. Since then further attacks have followed: in May on the outskirts of Damascus and in early July near Latakia. Now Israeli aircraft have attacked again in the same area. This series of strikes suggests that this hoped-for deterrent effect has not been achieved. They demonstrate the Israeli Air Force's ability to hit targets well inside Syria, and they could be the first of many - establishing a regular pattern of attacks that at any moment could risk provoking Syria, along with Hezbollah, into a regional war. This is Washington's fear; the nightmare of a major spill-over of the Syria crisis would have become a reality. So what is Israel's concern? While a good share of Israel's and indeed Washington's attention has been taken up by fears of Syria's chemical arsenal falling into the wrong hands, this series of air strikes underscore Israel's equal worry about sophisticated conventional weapons being passed to Hezbollah. This includes sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles, anti-shipping missiles, or accurate long-range ground-to-ground missiles. Such concerns are longstanding. Some four years ago, the then-Israeli government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned that it would not tolerate what it called "game-changing" weapons being transferred to Hezbollah. According to US intelligence sources, the target of Israeli attacks in July was a shipment of ground-to-ground missiles at a warehouse at Damascus airport. The missiles, which had been shipped from Iran, according to the sources, were Fateh-110s - a mobile, highly accurate solid-fuelled missiles with the capability of hitting Israel's main population centres, like Tel Aviv, from southern Lebanon. What was not clear, American officials admit, is exactly who the missiles were intended for - the Syrian army or Hezbollah. But the airport warehouse is said to have been under the control of personnel from Hezbollah and Iran's paramilitary Quds Force. This episode highlighted once again the strong triangular relationship between Tehran, Damascus and Hezbollah. Indeed, recent reports hint at Hezbollah's growing involvement in Syria's civil war with - according to some sources - hundreds of Hezbollah fighters supporting President Assad on the ground. Iran, seeing its Syrian ally on the ropes, is clearly eager to bolster Hezbollah's defences in Lebanon. For his part, President Assad may feel obliged to transfer weaponry to Hezbollah in return for its active assistance. Indeed, the faster the Syrian regime crumbles, the faster the pace of weapons transfers may become. Such transfers have advantages for Mr Assad as well. He may well be playing a longer game. Should his regime lose ground, he might be forced back into the Alawite heartland on the coast, and Hezbollah's military infrastructure in Lebanon would become an even more important ally, with much of Syria lost to him. On the other hand, if Mr Assad survives in Damascus, then a strengthened Hezbollah retains a constant threat of escalating the crisis into a regional conflict - something the US and its allies are desperate to avoid. What is even more intriguing is the second of the two Israeli air strikes in early July. The target here was a military complex around Jamraya - an area with headquarters, research facilities and so on. We still do not know the specific target or targets hit, though the flames and explosions would have been visible to many people in Damascus itself. It is perhaps the nature of the target here that contains the real Israeli message to the Syrian president. According to the American source, the target of this latest attack was again missile stocks - possibly SA-17 surface-to-air missiles. This now leaves Mr Assad and his Hezbollah allies in a difficult position. Should they respond in some way? Both see themselves as champions of the resistance against Israel. In the past, Hezbollah has sought to attack Israeli or Jewish targets overseas. Certainly any direct military response from Syria or southern Lebanon risks a much larger confrontation, which both President Assad and the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah would wish to avoid. Hezbollah is in a difficult position. Its material support for the Assad regime has made it unpopular in both Lebanon and the wider region where it is seen as seeking to aggravate an increasingly sectarian conflict. But Hezbollah seems to have made its strategic decision. The quid pro quo from the Assad regime is clearly the enhancement of Hezbollah's military capabilities. So it is hard to imagine the weapons shipments being halted. Too much is at stake. Depending upon the weather and Israel's intelligence capabilities, some weaponry may still get through. There have been possibly half a dozen air strikes this year and more are likely. The intriguing element in this latest attack is Washington's willingness to point the finger at Israel. Much the same thing happened back in July. Is this a bureaucratic screw-up - somebody talking out of turn - or a deliberate desire on the part of the Obama Administration to make the origin of this attack crystal clear? The US is clearly worried about anything that might be seized upon by the Assad regime to hinder the chemical disarmament process. Israeli air attacks on Syrian targets inevitably complicate matters. Is the American statement intended as a minor warning to the Israelis to back-off ? Some may interpret it in this way. But Washington can be under no illusion. Hezbollah is playing an important role in the Syrian drama. Meanwhile, Hezbollah's missile arsenal remains a potent threat to Israel. There's a message here from Israel to Washington as well. Israel is demonstrating that when it comes to what it perceives as its vital security interests it will act; a message that will come as no surprise to the Americans. Keith Vaz insists he does not want to be a "killjoy", but said the truck would send the wrong message in a city where Type 2 diabetes is rising and a third of children have tooth decay. He predicts people will protest if the truck does come to the city. Coca-Cola said it was still coming but would not give drinks to under-12s. Mr Vaz previously criticised the sponsorship deal between Coca-Cola and the London Eye. "I know people like special things happening at Christmas, but Coca-Cola are coming to promote their product and in each can of Coke there are seven teaspoons of sugar," he said. Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire If the truck does come, Mr Vaz wants the company to make it clear how much sugar is in each product. "People will protest against the arrival of this truck and it will not be welcomed in the way in which I think they would have hoped," said the Leicester East MP. The truck is due to visit Leicester on 17 December - one of 46 stops on Coca-Cola Great Britain's Christmas truck tour. TV chef Jamie Oliver has also criticised the way Coca-Cola is marketed in a documentary called Jamie's Sugar Rush. He visited Mexico, where one in 10 adults has diabetes, and filmed a mother alternating between giving breast milk and Coke to her baby. He is campaigning for a tax on sugary drinks in the UK. Coca-Cola Great Britain said in a statement: "We're delighted to be visiting Leicester this year as part of the Coca-Cola Christmas truck tour. "Our Christmas truck tour also operates in line with our responsible marketing policy so we don't sample our drinks directly to under-12s. "There will also be an opportunity to choose one of the four Coca-Cola variants to enjoy - this includes Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Zero, our no calorie, no sugar variants." Commentators took to Facebook to poke fun at Mr Vaz's views with many pointing out he has made made no warnings about Diwali- a major celebration in Leicester. Indian sweets are traditionally shared during the festival of light. Ian Wilcox Burdett wrote on Facebook simply "clown" while Daryl Smith added: "A complete idiot. We don't really want him in Leicester!" Lky Loki said: "He is being a killjoy. The truck itself represents Christmas for me. I don't drink coke anyways but want to take my kids into town to see it." But others supported the MP's views. Elaine Scott agreed: "It is a health hazard" and Gavin Long said: "Soda is NOT good for Humans. If you're not Human it's still not OK." The Care Quality Commission (CQC) raised concerns over numbers of doctors and nurses at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It warned it must ensure it has "enough qualified and experienced staff", particularly in A&E and surgical wards. But, the trust said the report had "many positives" and staffing levels had improved. The trust, which is responsible for James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough, The Friarage Hospital, in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, and a range of community services, was inspected in December. The hospitals were rated as "requires improvement" both in end-of-life care and overall, while other core services were rated "good". While finding the trust "provided services that were caring, responsive and well led", the CQC concluded standards needed to be raised in areas including staff training and the upkeep of patients' records. Professor Sir Mike Richards, chief inspector of hospitals, said: "We came across numerous examples of excellent care and patients and their relatives were happy with their experience of care and treatment. "However, I am concerned that shortages of staff in some departments may affect patient care. "While there have been moves to improve the recruitment process, the trust must continue to make this a priority." Trust bosses said they "welcomed" the report in which "89 of the 105 individual ratings (84%) were either good or outstanding and a number of areas of excellent and outstanding practice were also identified, particularly in maternity services". Chief executive Professor Tricia Hart said: "Since the CQC visit, we have already made significant improvements to staffing levels, particularly overnight, and continue to push hard on nurse recruitment, recently employing nurses from Italy, Portugal and Romania, although this does remain a national issue." As about 150,000 viewers tuned in to watch their team's remarkable win over England in the last 16, nothing else in the schedules got a look-in. Icelandic TV channels not showing the England game attracted just 298 viewers between them. That, perhaps, is an extreme example of how a major football tournament can bring a nation together. It is also one of a series of weird and wonderful statistics generated by the tournament. It felt at times like a dull tournament - and the stats back it up. The new, enlarged tournament produced 108 goals - an increase of 32 from four years ago - but at an average rate of 2.12 per game; the lowest average for a European Championship since 1996 (2.06). He may have ended this tournament injured and in tears, but Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo emerged as a champion. He scored three goals in France and is certainly persistent. Spare a thought for Germany forward Thomas Muller though. He just cannot score in the Euros. As mentioned at the top of this article, a staggering 99.8% of Iceland's television viewers watched their country beat England. Across the continent, though, Euro 2016 matches rated consistently highly. Television executives often talk about 'audience share' - the total percentage of viewers watching a particular channel. Euro 2016's audience share was high, with the best viewing figures across various countries as follows: England matches at major international tournaments draw in enormous audiences in the UK. England's Euro 2012 quarter-final defeat by Italy, which was live on BBC One, attracted an audience of 20.3m viewers. Euro 2016 has been a significant financial success for Uefa, as the figures show: Uefa has calculated that the tournament will have a significant economic impact in France, stating that: "Please help me find my brother. He is everything to me," a teary-eyed Indu Sindhwani implores me. We are standing outside a crowded bus station in the holy city of Rishikesh in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, which has been ravaged by floods and landslides in the last fortnight. Deepak Sindhwani, who had gone for a pilgrimage to the temple town of Kedarnath, is among some 3,000 people who, officials say, are still missing after the disaster. More than 800 people are reported to have been killed so far, but the exact number of deaths, say officials, may never be known. Mr Sindhwani spoke to his sister last on 16 June and said he was trapped in Kedarnath after a bridge collapsed. After that, his phone went dead. Since then, Ms Sindhwani has been unsuccessfully running from pillar to post to get information about her brother's whereabouts. Nilesh Ninav, 39, has been camping in Rishikesh for the past fortnight to look for his parents, Dattatreya Ganapat and Lata. They spoke for the last time on 15 June when his parents rang up to say that they were caught in a traffic jam. "I have been running around trying to speak to officials, but I am not getting any answers," he said. Officials admit they have no easy answers to help the distraught relatives of the missing, whose faces are plastered on the walls of railway and bus stations and on billboards and vehicles in Rishikesh. Swollen rivers have swept away entire villages, where there were many travellers in what is the peak tourist and pilgrimage season. Several bodies, which were found in a highly decomposed state, have been cremated in the affected areas. Many bodies may have been washed away or remain buried under debris. "The families want to know the real picture. But considering the scale of the disaster and with so little information available, we cannot give them a definite answer," says Piyoosh Rautela, a senior disaster management official. A helpline set up for the relatives of the missing has received more than 25,000 calls so far. Officials say the number of calls has reduced, possibly as many people have given up on finding their relatives. But people like Mitesh Goradia from Gujarat are not giving up yet. Mr Goradia and his brothers flew to the state capital, Dehradun, looking for their mother Pushaben, cousin Jayprakash and his wife Varsha, who had gone on a pilgrimage and not returned. They have sought help from the police, the army, politicians and officials. They have recorded video interviews on their mobile phones with returning pilgrims who they think may have met their mother and cousin. "We have proof they were alive till 23 June. We do not know what happened after that - whether they were killed during the rescue or are still in the villages looking for help," he said. "We will wait until the last person is rescued. After the rescue mission is called off we will go up the hills ourselves and try to find whether my mother is with the locals." Frances Cappuccini, a 30-year-old primary school teacher, died at Tunbridge Wells Hospital in 2012. Dr Errol Cornish, 67, of Bromley, south-east London, pleaded not guilty to a charge of gross negligence manslaughter at the Old Bailey. Representatives of Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust denied corporate manslaughter. It is the first time an NHS Trust has been charged with corporate manslaughter since the offence was introduced in 2008. A trial date of 11 January 2016 was set. It is not yet known where the trial will be held. Dr Cornish, who is a consultant anaesthetist, was released on bail. An international arrest warrant remains in place for Dr Nadeem Azeez formerly of Chestnut Avenue, Tunbridge Wells. He is believed to have left the country and returned to Pakistan. The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised a charge of gross negligence manslaughter against Dr Azeez. Bianca Blackburn (Worcester Valkyries), Lark Davies (Worcester Valkyries), Heather Kerr (Darlington Mowden Park Sharks) and Leanne Riley (Aylesford Bulls) have all been picked. Prop Rochelle Clark, 35, who last year became the most-capped international player, has also been selected. England host France in their opener.

"It's a significant victory," declares Gen Mohamed, his eyes shaded from the glaring heat by mirrored aviator sunglasses. The squat muscular soldier who offers only his first name had suddenly - and surprisingly - leapt from his gleaming white vehicle and strutted across the ribbon of tarmac when he spotted our team inspecting a road sign defaced by IS' infamous black signature at the entrance to this ravaged desert town. "Sukhna was Daesh's [IS'] most important hub in this area and we've now opened the road to Deir al-Zour," he explains in reference to the next populated centre in their sights. The neighbouring governorate of Deir al-Zour is almost completely controlled by IS, except for a besieged section of its main city and a Syrian airbase still in use. We are the first journalists to be taken to this abandoned town just captured by an advancing Syrian army. Its steady stride across the vast sweep of the baking hot eastern desert is accelerating with the powerful punch of Russia's warplanes and special forces, an array of Iran-backed militias and local tribes. Every building on every street in Sukhna bears the scars of another brutal Syrian battle. Not one escaped intact. Fronts ripped away reveal, like dusty dolls' houses, tables and chairs and even tea cups abandoned in haste when IS fighters stormed this desert town three years ago. Almost everyone fled. Defeated IS fighters are now beating a retreat towards Deir al-Zour's capital, which bears the same name, about 130km (81 miles) away, across this desolate tract. More than 200 fighters were killed this week when Russian warplanes blitzed a column of vehicles and weaponry snaking its way toward one of IS' last redoubts on Syria's ever so tangled battlefield. To the north of Sukhna lies Raqqa, once IS' self-styled Syrian capital. It is now under blistering attack by the mainly Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces, buttressed by US special forces on the ground and US-led coalition warplanes in the skies of north-western Syria. There is mounting alarm among aid groups and activists about the rising civilian death toll from aircraft and artillery strikes as the battle intensifies and IS fighters trap residents inside as they make their last stand. What will also be a punishing battle to retake the city of Deir al-Zour, where IS fighters are also digging in, may only be weeks away. "We're hell-bent on victory," vows the the second Syrian general we meet in Sukhna. Commanding officer on this eastern front Gen Mohamed Khaddour takes the wheel himself to drive us to their new forward firing position about 10km (six miles) outside the town. As if to prove his mettle, he brandishes his arm bearing his wounds of war. "Look at my arm," he declares. "I've been injured three times." With his floppy desert hat and casual fatigues, he is every inch the battle-hardened commander, revered by his own, reviled by his enemies. He has crushed rebel forces, with brutal efficiency, on almost every major front across Syria since the uprising erupted more than six years ago. The general brings up that he is on the EU's sanctions list. He is number 125, accused of "being responsible for repression of peaceful protests" in 2011 in the Damascus district of Douma which saw some of the first and biggest demonstrations in the capital. He brushes away the charge in this rare meeting with Western journalists, saying his focus is on this new front. "I'm fighting Daesh," he asserts. An artillery barrage kicks up a cloud of fine sand which momentarily obscures any view. As it clears, a plume of brown smoke rises on the horizon. The closest IS positions are only a kilometre away, just beyond the ridge. As the Gen Khaddour huddles with his men to assess the strikes, Russian special forces join the discussion, their faces obscured by woollen masks in the presence of journalists. The Russians put a stop to any filming while they are in sight. I ask the general if it complicates matters that Americans are also fighting on Syrian territory. "They have a completely different direction," he replies, adding, "We're only focusing on Deir al-Zour." But in case there is any doubt, he declares, "There's no power on the ground which can stop us from taking back what we want to take back." In this war against IS, all guns are now pointing in the same direction, against a common threat on what must be the world's messiest political battlefield. But there is a much bigger game here for President Bashar al-Assad's men. Recent battlefield successes on key fronts against Syrian rebel groups have freed up some of their forces, and those of their friends, to enable this determined push across eastern Syria. Local ceasefires, backed by Moscow's political and military muscle, have brought relative quiet to some remaining rebel enclaves. But every officer we spoke to was adamant that the north-west province of Idlib, the biggest opposition stronghold, would be their next target after the IS caliphate collapses. The territorial defeat of IS may now be only a matter of months. When that day comes, Syria's other war, with its changing political kaleidoscope of outside powers and interests, will shift into a new stage in the next new front in the punishing battle for Syria. The Iter project at Cadarache in Provence is receiving the first of about one million components for its experimental reactor. Dogged by massive cost rises and long delays, building work is currently nearly two years behind schedule. The construction of the key building has even been altered to allow for the late delivery of key components. "We're not hiding anything - it's incredibly frustrating," David Campbell, a deputy director, told BBC News. "Now we're doing everything we can to recover as much time as possible. "The project is inspiring enough to give you the energy to carry on - we'd all like to see fusion energy as soon as possible." After initial design problems and early difficulties co-ordinating this unique international project, there is now more confidence about the timetable. Since the 1950s, fusion has offered the dream of almost limitless energy - copying the fireball process that powers the Sun - fuelled by two readily available forms of hydrogen. The attraction is a combination of cheap fuel, relatively little radioactive waste and no emissions of greenhouse gases. But the technical challenges of not only handling such an extreme process but also designing ways of extracting energy from it have always been immense. In fact, fusion has long been described as so difficult to achieve that it's always been touted as being "30 years away". Now the Iter reactor will put that to the test. Known as a "tokamak", it is based on the design of Jet, a European pilot project at Culham in Oxfordshire. It will involve creating a plasma of superheated gas reaching temperatures of more than 200 million C - conditions hot enough to force deuterium and tritium atoms to fuse together and release energy. The whole process will take place inside a giant magnetic field in the shape of a ring - the only way such extreme heat can be contained. The plant at JET has managed to achieve fusion reactions in very short bursts but required the use of more power than it was able to produce. The reactor at Iter is on a much larger scale and is designed to generate 10 times more power - 500 MW - than it will consume. Iter brings together the scientific and political weight of governments representing more than half the world's population - including the European Union, which is supporting nearly half the cost of the project, together with China, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States. Contributions are mainly "in kind" rather than in cash with, for example, the EU providing all the buildings and infrastructure - which is why an exact figure for cost is not available. The rough overall budget is described as £13bn or 15bn euros. But the novel structure of Iter has itself caused friction and delays, especially in the early days. Each partner first had to set up a domestic "agency" to handle the procurement of components within each member country, and there have been complications with import duties and taxes. Further delay crept in with disputes over access to manufacturing sites in partner countries. Because each part has to meet extremely high specifications, inspectors from Iter and the French nuclear authorities have had to negotiate visits to companies not used to outside scrutiny. The result is that although a timeline for the delivery of the key elements has been agreed, there's a recognition that more hold-ups are almost inevitable. The main building to house the tokamak has been adjusted to leave gaps in its sides so that late components can be added without too much disruption. The route from the ports to the construction site has had to be improved to handle huge components weighing up to 600 tonnes, but this work too has been slower than hoped. A trial convoy originally scheduled for last January has slipped to this coming September. Under an initial plan, it had once been hoped to achieve the first plasma by the middle of the last decade. Then, after a redesign, a new deadline of November 2020 was set but that too is now in doubt. Managers say they are doubling shifts to accelerate the pace of construction. It's thought that even a start date during 2021 may be challenging. The man in charge of coordinating the assembly of the reactor is Ken Blackler. "We've now started for real," he told me. "Industrial manufacturing is now under way so the timescale is much more certain - many technical challenges have been solved. "But Iter is incredibly complicated. The pieces are being made all around the world - they'll be shipped here. "We'll have to orchestrate their arrival and build them step by step so everything will have to arrive in the right order - it's really a critical point." While one major concern is the arrival sequence of major components, another is that the components themselves are of sufficiently high quality for the system to function. The 28 magnets that will create the field containing the plasma have to be machined to a very demanding level of accuracy. And each part must be structurally sound and then welded together to ensure a totally tight vacuum - without which the plasma cannot be maintained. A single fault or weakness could jeopardise the entire project. Assuming Iter does succeed in proving that fusion can produce more power than it consumes, the next step will be for the international partners to follow up with a technology demonstration project - a test-bed for the components and systems needed for a commercial reactor. Ironically, the greater the progress, the more apparent becomes the scale of the challenge of devising a fusion reactor that will be ready for market. At a conference in Belgium last September, I asked a panel of experts when the first commercially-available fusion reactor might generate power for the grid. A few said that could happen within 40 years but most said it would take another 50 or even 60 years. The fusion dream has never been worked on so vigorously. But turning it into reality is much more than 30 years away. The world number 23 eagled the par-five 18th to lead on nine under from US Open champion Dustin Johnson (70) and Canadian amateur Jared du Toit (71). World number 309 Luke List, joint leader for the first two days, slipped seven shots adrift after a 77. Scotland's Martin Laird compiled five birdies in a 68 and is six under. World number one and defending champion Jason Day returned a round of 69 and is tied for 28th with 31-year-old List, who began with a bogey and had two double bogeys and a triple bogey seven on the back nine. Snedeker overpowered the 18th, hitting a 378-yard drive and a 121-yard approach to set up the six-foot eagle putt. Du Toit, 21, bidding to become first Canadian to win the event for 62 years - and the first amateur to triumph on the PGA Tour in 25 seasons - also eagled the final hole, holing a 40-footer for a 70. Asked to evaluate his prospects for the final round, Snedeker said: "I think I'm going to be the most hated man in Canada, but it's going to be a lot of fun trying to figure it out."

The 27-year-old Belgian joined the Saddlers in July after a short spell with Southend United came to an end. "I've had a few highlights in my career in this league and I've tried to stand out in one way or another and this year will be no different," he told BBC WM. "Last season I had a few injuries and this year it is a chance for me to have a platform to produce some good form." Moussa came off the bench in Walsall's 3-1 win against AFC Wimbledon on the opening day of the season and Saddlers boss Jon Whitney, the former club physio, has started him in the lat two games. "I need to play games to try to get fitter and sharper to bring something the fans will be happy to watch," he continued. "It was a massive factor in my decision to come to this club knowing that the manager has got such a good background in the terms of dealing with injuries and rehab." On Saturday, Walsall face Charlton, a club that Moussa made 23 appearances for during an injury-plagued two-year spell. "I signed for them and it started off quite well at the club but then a few injuries and different things hampered my progress. "That's football. At this stage I'm playing for Walsall and Charlton will be a good game because they have just come down the Championship so they'll have a point to prove." The Duchess of Cornwall will return as an honorary judge in this year's 500 Words, which was launched by Radio 2 breakfast show host Chris Evans. This is the seventh year of the initiative, which received more than 123,000 entries in 2016. The closing date for entries is 19:00 GMT on 23 February and the live final will take place on 16 June. The competition encourages children around the country to get creative and send in their stories of no more than 500 words. Lewis Carnie, acting controller of BBC Radio 2, said: "From 30,000 entries when it first launched in 2011 to over 123,000 in 2016, I'm so proud that Radio 2 is able to inspire so many children to get involved, writing their fabulous stories." The judging panel will consist of Malorie Blackman, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Charlie Higson and Francesca Simon. They will choose gold, silver and bronze winners in each of the two age categories - five to nine and 10 to 13. The final will take place at the Tower of London and be broadcast live on BBC Radio 2. The winning entries will be announced and read out by celebrity guests, known as "superstar narrators". Previous readers of the winning stories include Julie Walters, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston and Sir Kenneth Branagh.

Cafodd y Pwyllgor Materion Allanol a Deddfwriaeth Ychwanegol ei sefydlu yn dilyn y refferendwm ar aelodaeth yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, i ystyried y goblygiadau ac amddiffyn buddiannau Cymru. Daw'r adroddiad wedi i'r pwyllgor gasglu barn arbenigwyr mewn seminarau a chyflwyniadau ysgrifenedig am y chwe mis diwethaf. Dywedodd cadeirydd y pwyllgor, David Rees bod gadael yr UE yn "codi materion eang a chymhleth i Gymru". Mae'r adroddiad yn dweud y byddai gosod rhwystrau wrth fasnachu gyda'r UE yn "peri risgiau sylweddol i economi Cymru". Mae'r Prif Weinidog Theresa May wedi cyhoeddi y bydd y DU yn rhoi'r gorau i fod yn aelod o farchnad sengl yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Yn ôl yr adroddiad, mae'r ffaith fod sectorau gweithgynhyrchu ac amaeth yn fwy amlwg yng Nghymru nac yng ngweddill y DU yn "cynyddu pa mor fregus yw economi Cymru" pe byddai rhwystrau masnach. Mae'r pwyllgor yn galw am ganolbwyntio ar drefniadau trosiannol i leihau'r effaith y bydd gadael yr UE yn ei gael ar Gymru. Mae'r adroddiad hefyd yn galw ar i Lywodraeth Cymru a'r Cynulliad chwarae "rôl uniongyrchol wrth ddatblygu sefyllfa drafod y DU pan mae'n ymwneud â phwerau datganoledig neu'n effeithio ar y pwerau hynny". Dywedodd cadeirydd y pwyllgor, David Rees: "Os oedd unrhyw amheuon i ddechrau, mae'r dystiolaeth rydym wedi'i chasglu yn cadarnhau bod Brexit yn codi materion eang a chymhleth i Gymru.

The Scottish Conservative party has urged the first minister to commit to spending more on general practice. The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) is forecasting the GP deficit will happen by 2020. The Scottish government said Scotland had the highest number of GPs per head in the UK. Scottish Conservatives health spokesman Donald Cameron said the RCGP forecast "makes the scale of the GP crisis clear". A shortfall of more than 800 in the GP workforce would be "devastating for communities across Scotland", the Conservative MSP added. Mr Cameron said: "Before the election, Nicola Sturgeon was on record saying that GPs must receive a greater share of the health pot. Yet she's been utterly silent on this since. "Unless she acts, people will rightly conclude that the SNP promised one thing before an election, only to bury that promise after it." The Scottish Conservatives want 10% of all health funding to go to GPs by the end of the decade. Mr Cameron spoke out as the RCGP warned the UK could have a shortfall of almost 10,000 GPs by 2020 - forecasting a deficit of 9,940 full-time posts across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This could leave 594 GP surgeries at risk of closure, the organisation said. It is calling on the governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to come up with plans to boost the number of GPs in their areas, pointing to the NHS England plan which aims to recruit 5,000 family doctors and an additional 5,000 other members of staff for surgeries. Dr Miles Mack, chairman of RCGP Scotland, said GPs were the "cornerstone" of the NHS. He said: "Scotland needs hundreds more GPs and it needs them as soon as possible. "The first minister has said that the percentage share of NHS Scotland funding general practice should receive should be increased. "With that commitment expected to come to fruition in the coming draft budget, now is the time to become a GP." A spokesman for the first minister said: "We will take no lectures from the Tories on this issue. "Scotland already has the highest number of GPs per head in the UK - and the number has risen to an all-time high under the SNP, while we have increased the number of new training places for GPs by 100 across Scotland this year alone. "That solid track record of delivery is in stark contrast with the chaotic situation under the Tories in England, where the NHS has been gripped by unprecedented strike action from junior doctors." The spokesman added that the Scottish government was "continuously looking" at how it could improve primary care against a backdrop of "continued budget pressures coming from Westminster". Scottish Labour said the SNP could not continue to "ignore the GP crisis", which it said was the result of a £1bn funding cut to primary care. And the Scottish Liberal Democrats said it had "warned the government time and again that primary care services in Scotland are in trouble". Markets are rebounding from last week's dive which came amid pressure on President Trump and investigations into Russian activities in the US election. The Dow Jones climbed 43.08 points or 0.21% to 20,937.91, The S&P 500 rose 4.4 points or 0.18% to 2,398.42. The tech-heavy Nasdaq closed up 5.09 points or .08% at 6,138.71. Stocks in most sectors traded up, with the exception of consumer staples and discretionary goods firms. Financial stocks fared particularly well, with Goldman Sachs up 1.6%. But shares of homebuilders such as Lennar Corp. and the Pulte Group fell more than 1.5% after the US Commerce Department reported that new home sales in the US fell more than 11% in April compared with March. Analysts pinned the drop on a warmer winter, which shifted sales to earlier in the year. Sales increased half a percentage point compared with April 2016. Investors found few surprises in the White House budget proposal, which seeks deep cuts to dozens of programmes providing assistance to the poor. The budget will slash spending on safety-net programmes by more than $1trillion over 10 years. They include Medicaid, the federal health programme for the poor, disability benefits and nutritional assistance. The plan also includes proposals to increase spending on border security - including more than $1.5tn to start building a wall along the border with Mexico. Commentators say Mr Trump will struggle to get the budget passed by Congress, as it faces stiff opposition from Democrats and some Republicans. "In the US all eyes are on Trump's budget proposal. The budget will not pass in its current state but people will keep an eye on any sort of indication of corporate tax reform as well as infrastructure spending," said Nadia Lovell, US equity strategist at JP Morgan Private Bank in New York. Fremantle council last month decided to move traditional Australia Day events from 26 to 28 January because of Aboriginal cultural sensitivities. A "culturally inclusive alternative" is now due to be held on 28 January out of respect for the Indigenous community. But authorities say holding citizenship ceremonies on that date would send an anti-Australia Day message. "Citizenship has got to be apolitical, non-commercial, bipartisan and secular," Assistant Immigration Minister Alex Hawke told ABC radio. "It's really important... we've got hundreds of councils administering this around the country... that they don't get the idea they can use citizenship as a political football." The Australia Day public holiday is traditionally held on 26 January across the country, marking the arrival of Britain's First Fleet on 26 January 1788. Fremantle council voted in August to scrap its popular Australia Day fireworks event from 2017 after deeming the celebration "culturally insensitive". Fremantle mayor Brad Pettitt was subsequently accused on social media of grandstanding, being politically correct and not seeking the advice of Aboriginal leaders. To quash rumours local indigenous elder Robert Eggington last week posted a photo of dozens of elders meeting with the council in September, saying the decision was 50 years ahead of its time. "It's a clarification of history, because celebrating the day the first gunshots ploughed our blood into the earth is horrific for Aboriginal people," he wrote. "I believe Brad Pettitt will become a historic figure because of the decision."

Alex MacDonald hit the bar with a free-kick for the hosts, and the already under pressure Silkmen then had Mitch Hancox sent off for two cautions. Shots by Joe Rothwell and Kane Hemmings sealed victory after the break. Rothwell slotted in his first senior goal and Taylor teed up Hemmings for the 77th-minute goal which clinched a third-round tie away against Championship strugglers Rotherham United.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) said Dawnfresh had used azamethiphos excessively at one of its sites in Loch Etive. Azamethiphos is an organophosphorus pesticide which is used to control parasites such as sea lice. Dawnfresh confirmed there had been a "very small number of errors". The company, which is one of the UK's largest trout producers, added that it was working with Sepa to ensure the farm had "the lowest possible impact on the environment in the future". The regulator was alerted to the breach of rules by the conservation charity Friends of Loch Etive. Dawnfresh produced about 3,000 tonnes of rainbow trout at Loch Etive last year. A Sepa spokesman said: "Sepa is in contact with Dawnfresh regarding occasions where consecutive bath treatments with azamethiphos were carried out at Etive 6 (site) less than 24 hours after the first treatment. "These treatments are not in compliance with the site's CAR (Controlled Activities Regulations) licence. "We will be undertaking further investigations into this matter with the company." Fish farms in Scotland and elsewhere use a variety of methods, including chemicals, in an effort to control sea lice, which can weaken the health of fish and its growth. Dawnfresh Farming director Stewart Hawthorn said that last year the company recorded a "historically low number of sea lice" in Loch Etive after it took a "more proactive approach to the problem". He said: "Unfortunately, there were six instances on one of our sites where we did not meet our usual high standards in the technical implementation of a treatment. "This is particularly frustrating for us because Sepa has confirmed that without these very small number of errors, the site would have been rated as 'excellent' in environmental compliance. "We will be working with Sepa and our own team to ensure we have the lowest possible impact on the environment in the future." Mr Hawthorn added: "Overall we are proud of our record of environmental compliance. "The other three operating sites on Loch Etive achieved ratings of excellent (two sites) and good (one site). "Two further sites will not be operated again precisely because we do not feel we can do so whilst meeting the highest standards of environmental protection. "Going forward into 2017 we remain committed to effectively controlling sea lice and are already in the process of putting in place new treatment methods which will further reduce our reliance on chemicals." A Department of Education (DoE) grant was given to help establish the Kings Science Academy in Bradford in 2011. Sajid Hussain Raza, 43, and Shabana Hussain, 40, are accused of paying grant funds into their bank accounts. Daud Khan, 44, is accused of fraud and three counts of false accounting. All three deny the charges against them. Leeds Crown Court heard the three defendants had "treated public money as their own". Mr Raza, the founder and principal of the academy, used some of the £150,000 from government grants to offset his financial troubles and make mortgage repayments on rental properties he owned, the jury heard. Prosecutor Simon Kealey said the fraudulent activity continued for three years up until December 2013, despite DoE concerns about his leadership and financial management,. Mr Raza, from Bradford, is charged with four counts of fraud, three counts of false accounting and two counts of obtaining money transfer by deception. Ms Hussain, a teacher at the school and Mr Raza's sister, is charged with one count of fraud and one count of obtaining property by deception. Mr Khan, the school's financial director, is charged with two counts of fraud and three counts of false accounting. The academy was one of the first free schools to open in September 2011. It has since become part of the Dixons academy group. Mr Kealey said Mr Raza opened a bank account in 2010, which had a balance of £28,000 in July the following year after it received three large credits from the Kings Science Academy. Mr Kealey said almost half of that balance was used, in the same month, to make large mortgage repayments. The prosecution said meetings took place between Mr Raza and the DoE during which he was "incredibly rude and dismissive", appeared to "pluck financial figures out of the air" and threatened to call the then Education Secretary Michael Gove when challenged. Mr Khan did not receive any payments but, Mr Kealey claimed, "the offences could not have happened without Daud Khan's dishonesty and participation". Mr Raza and Mr Khan are also accused of false accounting by submitting inflated or fabricated invoices. Mr Raza is also accused of making false claims about his income and job on mortgage application forms. When interviewed by police, the school principal initially denied responsibility and accused his colleague of "reckless accounting". After his arrest he made no comment. Mr Khan, from Thornbury, Bradford, told police he was not responsible and blamed Mr Raza. Ms Hussain, from Bradford, gave a no comment interview. The trial continues. He told BBC News that attempts to dissuade companies from writing Twitter client applications were about improving the user experience. Twitter has come under fire for suggesting that it did not want developers creating software which replicated its own interface. Critics claim it is about ensuring users view adverts on its site. Since Twitter's creation, scores of third-party applications have appeared that allow users to write, read and respond to tweets. However, in a recent blog posting, Twitter's coding chief Ryan Sarver suggested that companies should consider stopping making such software. The move was condemned by developers who feel they are partly responsible for Twitter's success and are concerned about how they will make money in the future. But Mr Stone insisted that the company's focus is about providing a consistent experience for the user, no matter how they access the service. "Historically the best way to do that is not necessarily to create or recreate apps that could be confusing or do the things we are already doing," he said. "Developers extend our ability to help users, and our end goal is to serve users. Part of that goal can by helped by giving developers opportunities to create new, interesting and innovative ways to help them get more value out of Twitter." As an example of the confusion that he believes exists, Mr Stone pointed to the number of Twitter apps available for the iPhone. They include Twittelator, Twitterific, TweetDeck, Echofon, Tweetcaster, La Twit, Tweetaholic, TweetList, TweetBird and TweetBoard. Mr Stone explained that since Twitter had brought out its own official clients the number of users had skyrocketed. However, research carried-out by media analytics firm Sysomos suggests that third-party applications are still widely used. The company looked at 25 million tweets, sent on the day that Twitter unveiled its new policy. It found that 42% were sent from unofficial apps. "The question for developers is to ask themselves is how they can best serve the users," said Mr Stone. "By another app that pretty much does the same thing as Twitter? Or by creating new and innovative ways to get value out of Twitter that we are not necessarily doing ourselves," he said. In the blog posting that sparked the controversy, Ryan Sarver wrote: "Developers ask us if they should build client apps that mimic or reproduce the mainstream Twitter consumer client experience. The answer is no." He suggested that they should look to build other services that complement the Twitter experience such as mining data to help with brand management, customer relations and enterprise solutions. While existing applications are fine for the moment, Mr Sarver said they would be closely policed. Developers vented their fury on Twitter's discussion board and various blogs calling the decision everything from appalling to chilling. RSS pioneer Dave Winer told technology blog GigaOm.com that the new roadmap for developers underscored the need for them to look at building new businesses directly on the internet instead of on other services where the owner is too active. "The Internet remains the best place to develop because it is the Platform With No Platform Vendor. Every generation of developers learns this for themselves," he said. Mr Stone said while he understood the frustration and concern emanating from the developer community, Twitter had to do what is best for its users. "There are going to be some growing pains but I think the most important thing we can do is communicate as best we can, even if it is bad news people don't want to hear or we are not comfortable saying. "It is important because people can get the clarity they need," he said. I must have spoken, or tried to speak, to dozens of residents of the shantytown but not a single one would go on the record. Some did talk to us privately but such is the level of mistrust between locals and police that everyone here fears retribution if they talk openly to the press. That is the perhaps the biggest concern for the Rio state government as its much-vaunted "pacification" policy starts to unravel, not just here in Pavaozinho but in other communities too. According to the state government and the Pacification Police themselves, it is the criminal gangs, who deal mainly in crack cocaine, trying to move back into to areas from where they'd been previously expelled that are at the root of the problem. But it's more complicated than that. Pavaozinho (in the Cantagalo district of south Rio) is perhaps the most central of all the favelas. Built, like most informal communities, on a steep hillside, it overlooks Copacabana beach. The main entrance to the favela is via the main thoroughfare of Nossa Senhora da Copacabana. It is also one of about round 40 communities that, in recent years, have been "pacified". In effect that means putting a permanent police presence inside the favela, from where regular patrols come and go and which is staffed around the clock. It's a long cry from the days when most, if not all of Rio's shantytowns were only visited by police in heavily armed lightning-style raids, more often than not in pursuit of a suspect. By and large the pacification project had been considered a success, not only making the area safer for residents but also driving out the drugs gangs that had been established there. It also made some celebrated favelas like Vidigal more desirable places to live. It is close to the city centre with often stunning views of the beach. Residents soon began to own their homes and many had well-paid jobs in the city. For some reason, perhaps particular to the area or circumstances, tensions have been high in the Pavaozinho favela for months. According to police, the crack cocaine gangs are trying to move back in and reclaim their turf. It's a lucrative business and this part of Rio is prime real estate in more ways than one. The locals accuse the police, in turn, of being heavy-handed. On a recent patrol around Pavaozinho, as I held back from the main police unit, I was amazed to feel the level of mistrust and tension. "They're always beating us for no reason," one young boy told me as we walked through the narrow alleyways. They accuse the cops of painting them all with the same brush, as if all the boys here were inevitably going to become hardened gang members one day. The "mata" or the "jungle" in the very top part of this steep favela is particularly dangerous. This is where police allege many of the illegal guns owned by the gangs are stored and it is certainly one part of Pavaozinho where the police cannot claim to be in full control. It was, allegedly, the heavy-handed and very unsubtle nature of policing and law enforcement here that led to the clashes on Tuesday night. A young local man, Douglas Rafael da Silva, was killed in what now appears to have been a shooting. According to his family, the 26-year-old - who was a professional dancer on a local TV show - was chased, beaten and killed by police who mistook him for a gang member. Brazil's police have a fearsome reputation for violence. In turn, they say that in the hours of darkness in the hostile alleyways of the favelas they are in fear of their lives - pursuing armed criminals who know the lay of the land much better than they do. Pacification may have brought some relative calm to many of Rio's favelas but it is a policy that is in danger of falling apart because the authorities have failed to build upon their early inroads. You rarely hear in these parts of joint police-community projects aimed at establishing permanent structures and partnerships. The talk is always of confrontation, or of whichever side (them or us) has the upper hand. This is all of interest now, especially to the international media, because of the thousands of visitors who are expected in Rio for the forthcoming World Cup. Some, who may have sought out the cheaper hostel accommodation in the favelas, might now be put off and the risk of petty crime on Rio's streets is undoubtedly more palpable. But the real tragedy is that a city that had, in recent years, started to feel safer and more inclusive - a Rio for everyone who lives here - is once again falling into its old schisms and divisions. Media playback is not supported on this device Ramsey limped off in the first half of the Gunners' 2-1 defeat to Watford in midweek, having already missed 10 weeks of the season with a hamstring strain. "Overall from the other night we lose Aaron Ramsey," Wenger confirmed. "He is expected to be out for 21 days. We are a bit short at the moment but we have young players who can do well." However, ahead of Arsenal's visit to Stamford Bridge, Wenger denied having any regrets on letting fellow midfielder Jack Wilshere join Bournemouth on a season long loan. "Well yes (we could do with Wilshere now) but I would like to reiterate he wanted to go out and play," he said. "There is a huge level of competition and we accepted to let him go so we have to deal with the consequences." Ramsey's injury will be a concern for Wales boss Chris Coleman, with Wales next in action on 24 March. Coleman has previously criticised Arsenal's handling of Ramsey.

The sky was clear enough over areas of Sutherland and Wester Ross, while fog spoiled views from other places. During the night, Lancaster University's AuroraWatch UK issued a red alert for chances of seeing the Northern Lights. The alert, the space weather organisation's highest, was triggered by detection equipment in Aberdeen. It was the first time since October last year that AuroraWatch UK had issued a red alert. Displays of the aurora are related to activity on the sun. Among those to photograph Monday night's displays were Emma Smith from Gairloch and members of Caithness Astronomy Group, including Karen Munro. The group travelled to Tongue and Coldbackie in Sutherland to get clear enough skies to watch the Northern Lights.

Displays of the Aurora Borealis were visible from parts of Scotland on Monday night.

The note will be a limited edition that will be auctioned to raise money for BBC Children in Need this autumn. Kayla Robson, at Morgan Academy, won the competition which challenged children to design part of the £5 Bank of Scotland banknote. The theme was What does BBC Children in Need mean to you? The note will be Bank of Scotland's first polymer note. The circulation will be limited to just 50 notes, which officials believe will make it popular among collectors. The charity's iconic mascot, Pudsey Bear will be on the note with Kayla's design depicting him wearing a kilt and raising a Saltire on the back. Graeme Donald, Bank of Scotland competition judge said: "The bank received over 4,000 entries to this competition, a fantastic response, and all the judges were blown away with the quality of the entries and the imagination and creativity shown by the children. "Choosing a winner was not an easy process but when we looked at Kayla's design, which combines brilliantly the use of colour and shading, we felt it brought home what BBC Children in Need means to so many people as well as having all the right attributes to make a great £5 note. "This will be the first time the designs of children have been incorporated on a Scottish banknote and we hope to raise lots of money for BBC Children in Need." The winner Kayla Robson said: "I love drawing and have always enjoyed raising money for BBC Children in Need in school. "I am very excited at winning and can't wait to see my design on the £5 note." Last month the bank announced that its next £5 and £10 banknotes will be printed on polymer. The design of the main replacement polymer £5 note will be unveiled before the end of this year with the note itself issuing in the second half of 2016. It will be followed a year later by the polymer £10 note.

A 12-year-old school pupil from Dundee is to have her design incorporated on to a Bank of Scotland £5 note.

Defects in a baby's DNA are behind roughly half of cases of hearing loss in early life. The mouse study, published in Science Translational Medicine, showed a virus could correct the genetic fault and restore some hearing. Experts said the results could lead to treatments within a decade. The team in the US and Switzerland focused on the tiny hairs inside the ear, which convert sounds into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. But mutations in our DNA can leave hairs unable to create the electrical signal - leaving people unable to hear. The research team developed a genetically modified virus that could infect the hair cells and correct the error. It was tested on "profoundly deaf" mice, which would not notice being at a loud rock concert (with sound levels at 115 dB). Injections of the virus into the ears led to a "substantial improvement" in hearing, although not to normal levels. The animals could hear the equivalent of the noise inside a moving car (85 dB). They also altered their behaviour in response to sounds throughout the 60-day study. Dr Jeffrey Holt, one of the researchers from Boston Children's Hospital, told the BBC News website: "We're very excited about it, but we're also cautiously optimistic as we don't want to give false hope. It would be premature to say we've found a cure. "But in the not-too-distant future it could become a treatment for genetic deafness so it is an important finding." The team are not yet ready for human clinical trials. They want to prove the effect is long-lasting. They know it works for a few months, but are aiming for a life-long change. The viral therapy alters most of the inner hair cells in the ear, but not the outer hair cells. The inner hairs allow you to hear sound, but the outer hairs alter the sensitivity to sounds, so the ear becomes more sensitive to faint noises. The study repaired a mutation in a gene called TMC1, which is behind roughly 6% of deafness that is passed through families. However, there are more than 100 separate genes that have been linked to deafness. "I can envision patients with deafness having their genome sequenced and a tailored, precision medicine treatment injected into their ears to restore hearing," said Dr Holt. However, the findings will not benefit adults who have hearing loss as a result of listening to too much loud music. Commenting on the findings, Dr Tobias Moser from University Medical Center Gottingen in Germany said the results were "promising". The study provided "hope that restoration of hearing will become available for select forms of deafness within the next decade". UK scientists Prof Karen Steel, from King's College London, said: "I think this paper represents a really exciting advance in our understanding of what could be achieved using gene transfer approaches into the inner ear to reduce the impact of damaging mutations. "At the moment, the function is only partially rescued, but this is a start and presumably the methodology could be developed to improve the outcome." Dr Ralph Holme, the head of biomedical research at the charity Action on Hearing Loss, said: "The genetic diagnosis of hearing loss has greatly improved in the last few years, enabling children and their families to understand the cause of their deafness and predict how it may change over time. However, treatments are still limited to hearing aids and cochlear implants. "These findings are encouraging and open the door for other gene therapies, providing hope for people with certain types of genetic hearing loss that, following diagnosis, gene therapy could be available in the not-too-distant future."

Scientists say they have taken a significant step towards treating some forms of deafness after restoring hearing in animals.

Apple has now revealed what DJ Zane Lowe left BBC Radio 1 to do - he will be one of three launch presenters on the station broadcasting from Los Angeles. Joining him on the roster are Ebro Darden broadcasting from New York and Rinse FM's Julie Adenuga from London. Industry insiders have spoken to the BBC to give their thoughts on the new kid on the radio block. Beats 1 is a global radio station and it has said it will launch with three very specialist music programmes - a hip hop DJ from New York, a grime DJ from London and Zane - that's a very specialist offering at the moment. I'm not scared of what they've got, I'm very intrigued by it and it would be a fool that ignores them, because they're something like a $109bn company, so of course you're going to look at what they're doing. "A rising tide lifts all boats" is the expression, and I think it's good for the radio industry that a tech company so used to changing the way we operate as human beings - with iPads and smart phones - wants to do radio. Having a presenter tell you "this is the next big tune that you need in your life" is so much more engaging and exciting than a streaming device. Hopefully the UK radio industry can work with Apple. They've got a 24/7 global radio station and at the moment they've only announced three presenters. There's a lot of content they'll need to fill those hours, and who makes the best music radio content in the world? The BBC - so I'm looking forward to that call from Zane soon. Beats 1 isn't about radio, it's about music. Most radio stations offer local news, travel, information and entertainment so Apple's new single radio station won't have much of an impact on most of them. People who listen to local radio generally don't listen for the music. However, specialist music stations such as 1Xtra, Kiss, 6 Music (and to an extent, Capital and Radio 1) will be more at risk than the likes of Radio Plymouth, The Bee and Clyde 1. Apple is targeting new music lovers and fans. I'm not sure we can categorise the intended audience by age or gender, but they will generally be the younger end of the market. Apple will put lots of marketing behind Beats 1 and pay large amounts to attract star guest presenters, which will be good news for radio in general. There are thousands of services already but it takes a company the size of Apple for it to be noticed and used widely. The great American radio programmer Rick Sklar of '60s New York superstation WABC invented the concept of Top 40 radio - playing listeners' favourite songs and future hits which his team had picked and playing them on heavy rotation. This gave birth to UK music pirate radio and eventually Radio 1. Sklar said that great music radio is "where art meets science" - I've always believed this to be true and Apple Music is to my mind one manifestation of this theory. Apple Music is by it own admission a music service for music people and I'd contend great music stations like BBC Radio 6 Music, Australia's Triple J and LA's KCRW already do this. So why are they bothering? I think it's a case of creating another gateway into the Apple walled garden and a proposed free-to-the-listener radio service makes a lot of sense in the US where they face opposition such as XM Sirius and Pandora. This gateway will also allow the massive Apple iTunes inbuilt consumer base to give a leg up to the still niche streaming music industry. Whilst competing with the likes of Spotify it could also be a fillip to them. My question is what about the mainstream, regular people who just like music but don't need a reason or credibility for every song they hear? This lack of appeal to mainstream listeners is I think the reason I found Apple Music - as it stands - a bit underwhelming; it's a version of Spotify with its music streaming service, a bit of BBC Introducing with Connect and a bit of 6 Music with Beats 1. So perhaps Beats 2 will be more like Radio 2 and target a mainstream music audience? The impact on UK music radio will be to make us all better at our jobs - we'll have to rely even more on our own ears, tear up the research, ditch the music consultants and let great music programmers come to the fore again. There was a lot of hot talk last night about Beats 1 being an ecosystem for music, which implies it is not going to be part of a bigger, pre-existing ecosystem. It also suggests discrete services which always made sense in their own environments - audio streaming, music video, social media and so on - will be brought together in one place, Jurassic Park-style. That kind of flannel is troubling, because if Apple were truly revolutionising the way everyone accesses and experiences music, they would not need to talk it up in those terms. The innovation and therefore the value to consumers would be palpable. Certainly curated content is great, and that is why there are radio stations, but radio stations build up trust with their listeners over a long time, and the relationship feels personal, and often local. That's not to say Apple can't develop that trust - it's just going to take a while (and a few more additions to the ecosystem) before the true value becomes apparent. Apple is launching a radio station as it's the best way to market Apple Music - its new subscription streaming product. If consumers have access to all the world's music at their fingertips, they'll need a guide: Someone to suggest things to listen to. Apple's answer is providing a linear radio station, some automated channels, playlists and a new social media platform for artists. Their linear radio station - Beats 1 - will be about new music using famous DJs like Zane Lowe. They'll do a good job at this with a hefty content and marketing budget, but with limited distribution (online only) and a "new music" format it's unlikely to be a devastating challenge to existing UK radio stations. The big question is whether this is just the beginning of their content ambitions and whether we'll see them launch more linear, presenter-led radio stations. Could Ken Bruce take Popmaster worldwide? If they did, it definitely would be a worry, but I think this is unlikely. Beats 1 and Apple Music isn't about taking on radio - it's about providing an environment to encourage people to pay a tenner a month to subscribe to Apple Music. Spotify has much more to worry about than Capital FM. Adrian Bayford, who netted £148m with his then-wife in 2012, has volunteered to hold this year's Cambridge Rock Festival on his estate in Horseheath. Festival director Dave Roberts said he had been "unsure" whether to go ahead with the event, which is usually held at a farm near Barton, this year. The festival attracts about 3,000 music fans on each of its four days. More on this and other news from Cambridgeshire Since 2009, it has been held at Haggis Farm Polo Club in Barton. However, before Mr Bayford approached organisers two weeks ago, its director said he was "a little unsure about whether to go ahead" with this year's event. Mr Bayford, who owns Black Barn Records in Cambridge, approached him and offered the venue for free, in return for publicity for his company, Mr Roberts said. "I know Adrian would like to do lots of things with his estate and [that's] great, he's a lovely fellow, and absolutely into his music," he said. "He has come to us with his love of music so the two knitted together." The acts for this year's festival - from 3 to 6 August - have not yet been announced, but Mr Roberts said "Eddie and the Hot Rods will be back". Headliners in the past have included The Stranglers, Hazel O'Connor, Australian Pink Floyd and Dr Feelgood. When Mr Bayford and his wife won their millions, The Sunday Times Rich List said their fortune rivalled that of Jamie and Jools Oliver (£150m), Sir Tom Jones (£140m) and Eric Clapton (£130m). Their win placed them 516th in Britain's Rich List. He faces charges of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and having an offensive weapon. A 24-year-old man was found with slash marks to his face in an entry off Glencairn Way. He was treated for his injuries in hospital but they were not believed to be life-threatening. He warned Russia that all parties to the cessation of hostilities needed to stop attacks, including air strikes. If successful, he said, the truce could be a first step towards ending the chaos and violence in Syria. And he vowed to defeat the so-called Islamic State (IS), which he said was "not a caliphate but a crime ring". Is the truce worth the paper it's printed on? How Putin is getting his way in Syria Displaced Syrians struggle to survive Syria: Story of the conflict Mr Obama said the success of the cessation of hostilities would depend on whether parties including the Syrian government, Russia and their allies lived up to their commitments. Attacks needed to end and humanitarian aid had to be allowed through to desperate civilians, he said. "The coming days will be critical and the world will be watching," he said. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said he hoped the US would respect the truce. Mr Obama said that factional rivalry among the rebels, as well as the campaign against IS, meant there would be no immediate end to violence. He also insisted that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had to step down from power as part of any solution to Syria's civil war, but acknowledged there was "significant dispute" with Russia and its allies over this point. "It is clear that after years of barbarity against his people, many will not stop fighting until Assad is out of power," he said. Mr Obama also said progress was being made in the fight against IS, but added that the only way to inflict a lasting defeat on the group was to bring an end to the Syrian conflict. He said: "More people are realising that IS is not a caliphate, it's a crime ring. They are not winning over hearts and minds, they are under pressure," he said. "In the end the brutality of IS is no match for the yearning of millions who want to live in safety and dignity." Syria's main opposition umbrella group said that it was ready for a two-week truce to test the government's commitment to the plan. But the High Negotiations Committee expressed concern that Moscow and Damascus would continue targeting rebels allied to the al-Nusra Front, a jihadist group that, along with IS, will be excluded from the cessation of hostilities. The Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG), a militia that controls territory in northern Syria near the Turkish border, said on Thursday that it would respect the truce, but reserve the right to retaliate if attacked. The UN special envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, meanwhile said he would be announcing the date for the next round of peace talks in Geneva on Friday. He is one of seven Milton Keynes drivers found to have criminal convictions in a council investigation. The inquiry came after a convicted rapist had both his private hire and Hackney Carriage licences revoked last week. Council leader Peter Marland said the authority would take action when it had the "full facts". A council spokesman said the issue was its "highest priority" and it was preparing to interview all drivers it had concerns about. The driver convicted of four sexual assaults, including rape, had been issued with a private hire vehicle licence in September 2011, despite councillors knowing of his convictions. He was granted a Hackney Carriage licence last March. Both licences were revoked last week after a member of the public raised concerns about him. The council said it had begun a detailed review of licence holders, which found seven other drivers gave "cause for concern". Labour leader Mr Marland told BBC Three Counties Radio: "At the moment we are doing all the background checks. "One of those [seven] drivers has handed in his plates and we will take immediate action against the other six as we find out more detail." Mr Marland could not give a time scale but said it would be "as soon as we possibly can". "I think our cabs are safe, the vast majority of taxi drivers in Milton Keynes are good, law abiding people," he said. Liberal Democrat mayor Subhan Shafiq stepped down after he was found to have personally vouched for the convicted rapist, describing the man as being of "good current character". The chairman and vice-chairman of the licensing committee, Gladstone McKenzie and Stuart Burke, have also resigned. The NFU says the number of dairy farmers in the West has fallen by 107 between July 2014 and July 2015. Nationally the figure was 393. The meeting was told action was needed now to prevent a "crisis in the dairy industry" and "strike action may be the only way to get their voices heard". The National Farmers' Union (NFU) faced calls to do more for producers. David Handley, from Farmers for Action, said farmers were all suffering from the same issue. "We are addressing production and we're saying that we can't produce if there's not a market," he said. "I think you'll see the balance come back in favour of better pricing for farmers but until that happens you've got to look at what we can do in the short term. "Retailers and the food sector can play a big part in that." The meeting's host, businessman Derek Mead, said the NFU was not doing enough to stand up for farming. But the NFU said farmers should "work together" and not do "each other down". NFU chairman Rob Harrison accused Mr Mead, from the Sedgemoor Auction Centre in Bridgwater where the meeting was held, of having "another agenda" and trying to "drive yet another wedge between farmers working in a sector which has enough problems as it is". Mr Mead told the BBC all areas of British farming were "on the floor" but dairy farming had "been in crisis for the last 20 years and it's about time it was sorted out". He wants legislation to address "bad practices" by supermarkets and said the NFU should stop "making excuses for doing nothing". The NFU, Farmers for Action and Tenant Farmers' Association representatives were at the meeting on Wednesday. Milk prices have come under pressure from rising supply - thanks to good conditions globally in 2013-14 - and falling demand, particularly from China and as a result of Russia's ban on EU dairy imports. EU milk production quotas set up in 1984 to stop production outstripping demand also came to an end in April. The 400-million-year-old samples revealed rings of cells characteristic of wood, a team of scientists observed. They also suggested that the woody substance appeared to be a mechanism to transport water rather than acting as a support to allow plants to grow taller. The findings have been published in the journal Science. "The previous earliest woody plants are of Middle Devonian age (roughly 390 million years old). Our plants are of Early Devonian age, [so about] 400 million years old," explained co-author Phillipe Gerrienne, a geologist from the University of Liege, Belgium. Dr Gerrienne added that the samples were the first and, to date, only samples of woody plants that had been placed in the Early Devonian period. "The Middle Devonian plants with wood are shrubs or trees of very small stature. Our plants are much smaller, herbaceous and probably 20-40cm (8-16in) tall ," he told BBC News. "I would even say that our plants are smaller than some other contemporaneous plants. In fact, all Early Devonian plants were herbaceous, so externally, you would not be able to tell which had wood and which had not. 'True wood' Dr Gerrienne went on to explain that the team thought that the samples were "early representatives" or ancestors of lignophytes, which is the largest group of plants on Earth today, and includes gymnosperms (such as conifers) and angiosperms (flowering plants). "Lycophytes (seed-free vascular plants), some bizarre early ferns or early horsetails could produce some wood, but the wood of our plants shows a precise feature (divisions of the cells perpendicularly to the stem surface - see photo above) that is typical of lignophytes," he observed. He added that the ancient plant samples featured in the study would help researchers understand the first steps of "true wood" evolution. "For example, our plants show that the rays (horizontal cells) most probably evolved after the other cells in wood (longitudinal cells)." In addition, Dr Gerrienne said the findings also helped shed light on the initial biological role of the woody substance in early plants. "Our plants are very small; they have thickened cells just below their epidermis (skin). These two facts suggest that wood was not necessary for support," he concluded. "This is why we suggest that wood was probably used to enhance the flow of water in the stem. It is only later in evolution that wood was used to improve support. "The idea that wood first evolved because it improved water conductance had already been suggested by others, but on a theoretical basis only. "It is nice to have two different plants that illustrate this theoretical inference." The main A5 route through Corwen was closed for several hours after the incident. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene and her family have been informed, North Wales Police said. Anyone who witnessed the incident around the square in the town just before 11:00 GMT on Friday has been asked to call 101. Officers said investigations are ongoing. George Allen, 36, was hit as he picked his son and daughter up from school in Lisburn last week. He remains in a critical condition in hospital but is now "the most stable he has been" since the incident. His son Geordie, five, and daughter Georgia, seven, were also injured but have been released from hospital. The incident happened at Killowen Primary School in Lisburn. In a statement, Mr Allen's wife, Sharon, and her family said the aftermath of the "tragic, freak accident" had been "devastating for us all". "George was not on his phone at the time of the lightning strike, he does not have any metal plates and he was not holding an umbrella," the family said. "A hard-working man going to collect his two children from school would not have expected this to happen. "Had it not been for the fast actions of those at Killowen that day, the outcome would have been tragic." School staff and parents used a defibrillator on Mr Allen and his son. The children are "both home and doing well", the family said. "Through this difficult time the fact that the children have come through as they have is a blessing." The family also thanked staff at the hospitals Mr Allen and his children had been treated in "for their fantastic efforts and continued care". The 28-year-old, who has played 27 of Barcelona's 32 games this season, left the pitch on a stretcher in the eighth minute of the match following a challenge from Nicolas Escalante. The club did not give a timeframe for the Spain international's return. Barcelona are already without injured midfielder Andres Iniesta. They host Real Sociedad on Thursday in the Copa del Rey quarter-final second leg, holding a 1-0 advantage from the first-leg. Barcelona, who are third in La Liga, travel to Real Betis on Sunday and face Paris St-Germain on 14 February in the Champions League last 16. Police estimated that a crowd of about 1,500 walked from the city centre to the Scottish Parliament. They waved EU and Scottish flags and carried placards showing their opposition to Brexit. Organisers said the march marked the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, which paved the way for the European Union. It was one of a series of similar events in cities across Europe, including Berlin, Rome and London. Among those giving speeches in Edinburgh were Green MSP Ross Greer, Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP from the Liberal Democrats, SNP MPs Tommy Sheppard and Joanna Cherry. Young European Movement Edinburgh chairman Jean Francois-Poncet said the march was to protest against Brexit and commemorate 60 years of the European Union. He said: "We want to raise the issue in British and Scottish people's lives that you have lies in the referendum campaign that people were not held accountable for and, whether you voted Remain or Leave, that is a real issue." The march comes ahead of the start of Brexit negotiations, when the UK Government triggers Article 50 on Wednesday. The UK as a whole voted to leave the European Union by 52% to 48% in last year's referendum. Scotland voted by 62% to 38% in favour of the UK remaining in the EU. Ahead of the march, Vanessa Glynn, the chair of the European Movement in Scotland, said it would show that Scotland opposes Brexit. She added: "As the Westminster government is driving us off a Brexit cliff, we will say it loud and clear. Not in our name! "We have not forgotten how far Britain has come since 1973. We have not forgotten the wars and extremism that ruined our continent before Europeans finally decided to unite their forces to create peace and prosperity instead. "On Sunday the 26th of March the clocks go forward an hour, then they go back 60 years with the triggering of Article 50 on Wednesday the 29th." Mev Brown, former Scotland Vote Leave spokesman, said he was not sure what impact the protest would have on the negotiations between the UK and the European Union. He added: "We've had the referendum. We won. We need to move forward and start the negotiations and get the best possible deal for both the EU and the UK." The museum's £522,000 budget is £76,000 less than two years ago as the authority attempts to make savings. But Rob Stewart said, while the museum is not facing closure, more needs to be done to raise its own funds. The Federation of Welsh Museums said it was concerned the museum needed more time to be able to generate income. Mr Stewart said: "It's helping to commercialise them, helping them to cover their own costs - they don't have a coffee shop. "It's looking at the commercial opportunities like that to replace some of the money that was coming from the taxpayer." Mr Stewart added there was also an opportunity to capitalise on the £500m city centre regeneration. Building work could start towards the end of the year with a 3,000-seat arena forming part of the first phase and it will be able to host a variety of concerts and events. It will be built on one side of the leisure centre, with the museum on the other side, a short walk away. "The question to the museum is how can you capitalise on the establishment of the arena around the corner?" said Mr Stewart. "The challenge is there. How can you make sure you are successful as part of it?" The Federation of Welsh Museums recognised the difficult position local authorities were in but warned cuts by councils across the country were being made too quickly. A spokeswoman said: "It is incredibly difficult in most cases to be able to immediately income-generate the amounts needed to off-set the savings targets given. "And often investment is needed first, in order to then be able to generate income from commercial activities such as cafes, shops, corporate hire. "Swansea Museum is a fantastic example of a community-centred museum, and our concern is that it does not have the time it needs to build its markets and ability to income generate to the levels it needs and, therefore, it is likely that its public programming, community outreach and staffing levels will be reduced." She said the federation would like to see "more support and time given to the museum" to enable it to generate income successfully. A Swansea council spokesman added the authority expects the museum's overall funding to increase through grants as well as the commercial opportunities. The £35m gallery, named after sculptor Barbara Hepworth who lived in the West Yorkshire city until the age of 18, opened its doors on Saturday. It contains dozens of Hepworth's works and prototypes as well as pieces by Henry Moore and JMW Turner. It is the biggest art gallery to be built since the Hayward on London's South Bank in 1968, the Hepworth said. Designed by award-winning architect David Chipperfield, it has 10 galleries covering 5,000 square metres. That makes it almost twice as big as the Turner Contemporary in Margate, Kent, another new Chipperfield gallery which opened last month. Around 150,000 visitors are expected in the first year, and so many visitors are expected on the opening weekend that staff are handing out wristbands limiting them to 45 minutes inside. The building, which sits next to the River Calder, has divided opinion among locals. "Some people don't like the building," admitted Councillor Peter Box, leader of Wakefield Council, which put £18m into the budget. "They think it looks like a concrete bunker. And I understand that. "But at least for the first time in many years there's a real serious debate about modern architecture on the streets of Wakefield. "What no-one can deny when you go inside the gallery is the quality of the exhibits, and I think everyone locally when they visit will be blown away by the quality." The building should kickstart the regeneration of the riverside area as well as the wider region, he explained, and bring £3m a year to the local economy. Chipperfield said his priority was to design buildings that were popular with locals, adding that he hoped the Hepworth would inspire a new generation of art lovers. "People who are against a project are always going to be against it," he said. "But if you can get young people to come, perhaps it will help change certain attitudes to culture. "One hopes that, as a certain generation will say it's not for them, maybe their kids will somehow be the opposite. It will give them an opportunity to find something that their parents couldn't." The gallery is the second in the UK to focus on Hepworth, alongside the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden in St Ives, Cornwall, which is run by the Tate. Hepworth Wakefield director Simon Wallis said the Tate had loaned them works, adding that the two institutions would work together. "I can see all sorts of ways in which we can creatively begin to work together and share audiences and programming ideas. But there's very definitely room for two given that we've got very different identities." As well as exhibits relating to Barbara Hepworth, the Wakefield building has inherited the 6,000-piece collection from the old Wakefield Art Gallery, which closed in 2009. It will also host rotating exhibitions from contemporary artists, beginning with sculptor Eva Rothschild. The Ogiek were entitled to live on their ancestral land and the government should not have tried to evict them, a pan-African court ruled. Campaigners hailed the ruling as a huge victory for indigenous communities. The government had argued that the hunter-gatherers needed to be evicted to protect the indigenous forest. But the African Court of Human and People's Rights ruled that the government had violated a series of rights of the Ogiek people, including the right to property and the right to practise their culture in the forest in western Kenya. Environmental degradation in the Mau Forest had been caused mainly by "ill-advised" logging concessions and settlement by non-Ogiek people, Justice Augustino Ramadhani said, according to Reuters news agency. The ruling affects some 35, 000 traditional hunters who live in the forest, some 200km (125 miles) from the capital, Nairobi. "They are one of the last remaining forest-dwelling communities and among the most marginalised indigenous peoples in Kenya," said Minority Rights Group International. "For the Ogiek, this is history in the making. The issue of Ogiek land rights has finally been heard and the case has empowered them to feel relevant," it added in a statement. One community member, 96-year-old Rashamba Debola, told the BBC she had lived in the forest all her life. "I grew up here, married traditionally, had my family here, buried my husband in this forest. I don't know anywhere else. For now, I live here with my great-grandchildren. I would love to see them carry on our traditions." Amnesty International said the hunter-gatherers had fought for a long time in the Kenyan courts, before turning to the pan-African court to achieve justice. "Today's ruling is a historic victory for the Ogiek community, and gives hope to all indigenous peoples everywhere," it said in a statement. "But a ruling is not enough, it must be respected. The Kenyan government must now implement the ruling and let the Ogiek live freely on their ancestral land." The Tanzania-based court's ruling is legally binding, but it cannot sanction countries for non-compliance. The Mau Forest, covering 273,300 hectares (675,000 acres), is the largest forest of indigenous trees in East Africa. It will be constructed on a site between Alloway Road and Lochside Road in the north west of the town. The project forms part of the wider Dumfries learning town project and should be completed by spring 2018. Dumfries and Galloway Council's education committee chairman Jeff Leaver said it would become a real focal point for the community. The complex will accommodate secondary, primary and nursery pupils as well as children with additional support needs. Community facilities including a library will also be built at the site. "This is not just a school we are building, it is a campus," said Mr Leaver. "It is a massive complex and we are committed to spending about £34m on this - it is a very, very major investment in north west Dumfries." Mr Leaver said the development would tackle issues with current provision in the area. "One of the problems with the current Maxwelltown High School is it is on the very periphery of Lochside," he said. "This will be much more central and it is estimated something like 80% of pupils will be located within a kilometre of the school. "It will be very, very central - not only for the pupils but for the community in general." In a speech in Llandudno, Conwy county, the MP said the party has given the impression it took support from ethnic minorities for granted. It has seen a big fall in support among black and minority ethnic (BME) groups. Almost one in three BME voters backed the Conservatives at the last election. Some one million ethnic minority voters "helped put David Cameron in Downing Street" last May and Labour has no chance of winning in 2020 if the trend continues, Mr Umunna told union Unison's National Black Members' conference. "In spite of all we have delivered, too often we have given the impression that we take our ethnic minority communities' support for granted. We cannot afford to do this," said Mr Umunna, Labour MP for Streatham. "Evidence from last year's general election suggests we are shedding votes from different ethnic minority communities to the Tories. "And we have not a hope in hell of retaining all our current seats, let alone make any enough gains and winning the next general election if we continue to lose ethnic minority votes at this rate." Tory support from ethnic minority voters at the general election jumped to 33% from 16%, the same percentage that Labour lost, Mr Umunna will say. The surge in support was the best result in the Conservative Party's history and the fall in Labour backing should have set "alarm bells ringing", he told the conference. The Stags have yet to score at home in a first half all season and, although they struck the post after the break, they rarely looked like scoring as they went a third game without finding the net. Morecambe took the lead when Rhys Turner got down the left and squared an inviting ball to Peter Murphy, who saw his fierce shot well parried by Scott Shearer with Fleming quickest to react to poke home the loose ball from five yards. Mansfield pressed for an equaliser and racked up eight first-half corners, but struggled to create clear openings, though Matt Green forced Barry Roche to tip over a 26th-minute header from Ashley Hemmings' cross, while Pat Hoban fired wide from 18 yards from Green's nod-down. Hoban then had a fierce shot parried at the near post soon after the break. Substitute Danny Rose almost levelled within two minutes of joining the action as he hit a post with his follow-up after Roche had blocked a powerful Kyle Howkins shot on 63 minutes. But the visitors saw out the rest of the game in comfort. Report supplied by the Press Association Match ends, Mansfield Town 0, Morecambe 1. Second Half ends, Mansfield Town 0, Morecambe 1.

Media playback is not supported on this device The champions, homing in on a sixth successive league title, lead city rivals Rangers by 16 points before Saturday's Ibrox meeting at 12:15 GMT. "We want to win, but whatever the result, we've had a brilliant opening period to the season," Rodgers said. "We'll go away, re-focus and be better in the second part of the season." The Premiership teams head into a three-week winter break to start the new year before resuming in the Scottish Cup fourth round on the weekend of 21-22 January. Celtic are unbeaten in 23 domestic matches this season - 19 in the Premiership, plus four in the Scottish League Cup. They are within three matches of equalling the club's 'Lisbon Lions' class of 1966-67 that went 26 domestic matches unbeaten at the start of the season - before losing 3-2 at Dundee United on 31 December. Rodgers has enjoyed victories over Rangers at Celtic Park (5-1 in the league) and Hampden Park (1-0 in the Scottish League Cup semi-final) since taking over in the summer. Acknowledging his side will head to Ibrox "full of confidence and looking to impose our style on the game" after 14 straight league victories, he believes the pressure to win falls on Rangers, who are unbeaten in 14 home matches this season, including 10 in the league. "In terms of where we're at, and where they are, a number of points behind, with Aberdeen and Hearts closing in behind them, then of course they will want to win the game as much as we will," Rodgers said. "They're protecting an unbeaten run at home and their supporters will expect them to win. That all points to pressure. "I expect a very tough game. It'll be a really intense game and a great battle, I'm sure." The Northern Irishman takes heart from the way his side have coped with pressurised situations this season. He pointed to their 4-3 Premiership win at Motherwell from 2-0 down and their Champions League qualifier against Hapoel Be'er Sheva, where they lost 2-0 but hung on for a 5-4 aggregate victory, among others. "We have stayed calm and come through the pressure," he added. "So we know it will be a great atmosphere at the game, but in terms of our game plan, there is no change. "We know we average three goals (2.6) away from home in the league so far, so it points to us going into the game with a big confidence, but we understand and respect it is a difficult game." Ofsted inspectors said there was no assurance that vulnerable children were safe or "effectively protected" due to inadequate services at Dudley Council. The authority had been aware of the deficits for "some time" but had not acted quickly enough, they added. Dudley Council said it would "continue at pace" to radically improve services. Inspectors who reviewed services in January and February rated children's social care services inadequate in four out of five areas, including children who need help and protection, leadership and adoption performance. They found no progression in most areas rated as "requiring improvement" in 2012. The report said: "The long period of inaction means that many services have deteriorated since the last inspection." Inspectors highlighted 21 particular cases about which there were "serious concerns", including children not receiving adequate levels of protection and those waiting for "unacceptably long periods" to see social workers. Ofsted said the council was making concerted efforts to "tackle a legacy of deteriorating services". But it said the Labour-run authority was "working from an extremely low base" and the required improvements would take "a significant time". Too many children had experienced delay and "further risk" because the authority was "too slow to decide what needs to change in a family if it is going to be safe for children and young people to remain," inspectors said. "Neglect is a significant feature in Dudley, but there is no partnership-wide strategy to address this," they added. The report said support for those at risk of being sexually exploited was improving, and there was "a good range of services" for tackling domestic abuse. However, it found children at risk of sexual exploitation did "not have effective safety plans in place". A children's services commissioner will now work with leaders at the council to make further recommendations. Dudley Council chief executive Sarah Norman said: "We fully accept Ofsted's findings and the inspection has confirmed our own self-assessment of the services and we will continue at pace to rectify the issues." Mike Wood, Conservative MP for Dudley South, said services are "clearly getting better" since new staff were hired last year, but said the conclusions from the Ofsted report were "terrible". "Obviously what it highlights is quite how little has been done to improve the care of vulnerable children over the last four years, and that's of huge concern to everyone living in Dudley," he said. Ian Austin, Labour MP for Dudley North, has been approached for comment. The Towering Inferno, released in 1974, won three Oscars and starred Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, William Holden and Faye Dunaway. Guillermin's action-packed 1976 version of King Kong, starred Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange. He died on Sunday at his home in the Topanga Canyon area of Los Angeles, his friend Nick Redman confirmed. In a statement, Guillermin's wife Mary called him "sensitive and passionate, full of a fierce rapture himself." Born in London to French parents, Guillermin attended the University of Cambridge before joining the Royal Air Force. His career directing began in France with documentary film-making. In 1950, he moved to Hollywood to study film-making methods. Following the success of disaster films such as Airport and The Poseidon Adventure, Guillermin assembled a star-studded cast for The Towering Inferno. The movie, still regarded as a classic of the genre, about a fire that breaks out on the 81st floor of a shoddily-built skyscraper starred McQueen and Newman - two of the biggest film stars of the day. Known for his big budget adventures, Guillermin also had a reputation of being a difficult man to work with. In his memoirs, film editor Ralph E Winters, described an incident he witnessed when he worked with Guillermin on King Kong. In the screening room, Winters said a frustrated Guillermin kicked the seat in front until it broke. He received an apologetic phone call the next day. In his 1995 autobiography, Charlton Heston, who worked with the director on 1972's Skyjacked, described him as having an "irascible streak". For 1978's adaptation of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile, Guillermin assembled a cast of top acting talent. Peter Ustinov played the legendary sleuth Hercule Poirot alongside David Niven, George Kennedy and Angela Lansbury. He won the Evening Standard British Film Award in 1980 for the movie. His final film was the Kong sequel King Kong Lives in 1986. According to Ministry of Finance sources in Athens, there are still some minor details to be sorted out. We should see a more detailed statement in an hour or two. And the package will have to be agreed by the Greek and German parliaments, and eurozone finance ministers, in coming days. But this should be rescue number three for the eurozone economy, which since 2009 has more than any other shown up the flaws in the structure of the currency union. It is nonetheless hugely significant for Greece's future in the euro that its creditors - the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the other eurozone governments - appear to be satisfied with a programme of austerity and economic reform agreed by Athens (and see what I wrote on this yesterday). Although the Syriza government of Alexis Tsipras may be criticised by some of its supporters for agreeing to austerity that it originally rejected, he will point out that this year Athens is being permitted to run a deficit - yet again. The newly agreed fiscal targets are a deficit of 0.25% for this year, a surplus of .5% in 2016, +1.75% in 2017 and +3.5% in 2018. There are few things to say about these fiscal targets. First, although Mr Tsipras will present the 0.25% deficit for this year as an easing of austerity and a political success, many will by contrast see it as simply a reflection of Greece's economic failure in recent months, the return to probable recession caused by the closure of the banks last month. Which is why rehabilitating the banks, and easing restrictions on withdrawals and lending, is right now the sine qua non of a sustainable recovery in Greece. And that in turn will take months of painful negotiation on recapitalising the banks - with perhaps 25bn euros of eurozone taxpayers' money - to provide proof to the people of Greece that their savings can be returned to banks from under the mattress. Second there will be few economists who believe that Greece will succeed in generating a surplus of 3.5% in 2018 and then sustaining that surplus for years - partly because it is rare for any Western economy to stay on a path of spending less than tax revenues for any length of time, let alone an economy with a private sector as feeble as Greece's. Third, and I am sorry to say you will have heard this a few times from me, the really hard negotiations start soon - on how to reduce Greece's massive debts, set to peak at close to 200% of GDP or national income in the next two years (according to the IMF) to an affordable level. Without debt write-offs, prosperity will never return to Greece, and its future in the euro will never be assured. With debt write-offs, populist parties throughout the eurozone will be able to claim to voters that they have nothing to fear and everything to gain from throwing out the mainstream establishment parties and re-asserting national sovereign rights to economic self-determination. Or to put it another way, euro politics and euro economics of Greek debt forgiveness point in diametrically opposed directions. Which is why no-one should see today's important bailout agreement for Greece as a permanent happy ending. Mia Mascarinas-Green was killed in her car in Tagbilaran City with their three children in the back seat. Stuart Green, from Hertfordshire, was living with his family in Bohol province when his wife was shot. After shooting Mia the killers turned the gun on the children but the gun jammed, Mr Green said. "If not for the miracle of the gun jamming it was highly likely that I would have returned to four coffins," Mr Green added. Mrs Mascarinas-Green was forced to stop at about 16:45 on 16 February when a motorbike swerved in front of the car she was driving. Witnesses said two men walked over to the car and put a bullet in the engine, before firing a total of 28 bullets at Mrs Mascarinas-Green - nine of which lodged into the back of her neck, killing her. Mia Mascarinas-Green was a prominent environmental and human rights lawyer, whose funeral was attended by thousands of people. Mr Green, a marine biologist, met his wife in 1990 at a conference in the Philippines and the country was their home, but since his wife's murder the family has returned to Hertfordshire. He believes the motive for his wife's death is due to a dispute involving a minor case she had undertaken involving the ownership of a holiday hotel. "Mia was just doing her job. This was not an environmental case or children or women's work. This was just a small case," Mr Green said. "I feel a burning need to ensure that these people are never able to put any other human being, or family through this heart wrenching and life-shattering experience ever again," he added. Mr Green is planning to meet with Bohol's governor, the head of the national police and other officials for an update on the investigation. Friends of the couple have set up an education foundation for the children. The vehicle was reportedly carrying government employees from nearby areas to the city. At least 25 others have been injured, Pakistani media say. A senior police official quoted by Reuters news agency said explosives were apparently planted inside the vehicle. About 40 people were inside the bus at the moment of the explosion, he added. Television pictures showed the vehicle partially destroyed and some of the injured being taken to a hospital. The actor discussed his sexual history in an interview with Piers Morgan during a one-off show at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Asked if he had had unprotected sex since finding out he was HIV positive, Sheen said: "I never did. "Because I wouldn't do that to someone. I would not. How could I explain it later?" His claims contradict allegations from previous sexual partners that he had unprotected sex with them despite knowing he was HIV positive. But the actor told Morgan: "No one has been infected by me. No one." Referring to previous partners, Sheen said: "They claim the sorrow and the pity or whatever, but that's on them, and again I know the truth." The former Two And A Half Men actor only went public with his diagnosis in November, but confirmed he had been diagnosed several years ago. Asked what his immediate reaction to the diagnosis was, Sheen said: "I thought no, no, wrong, please double check all the tests. Even among all the chaos you always think 'that'll just happen to somebody else'." But despite claiming not to have had unprotected sex since his diagnosis - Sheen admitted he had not always told his partners about his sexually transmitted infection (STI). "The only couple of times I didn't tell somebody was because the last 25 times I'd told somebody, they used it against me, and they used my medical condition for their own folly and financial gain," he said. Programmes handed out to audience members on the night claimed the actor has spent more than £7m on "hush money" in recent years - paid to former partners who alleged they contracted HIV from him before threatening to go public. Sheen told Morgan: "The number of despicable charlatans that I thought were allies, that then turned against me, they were coming out of the woodwork, it was crazy." The son of Hollywood veteran Martin Sheen got his big break in 1986 in Oliver Stone's Vietnam movie Platoon. He later appeared in Two and A Half Men, a sitcom for which he was reportedly paid around $1.8m (£1.23m) per episode towards the end of his run on the show. An Evening With Charlie Sheen saw the actor in conversation with Morgan, a former editor of the Daily Mirror, before taking questions from the audience. The show started late, only lasted an hour and had a technical hitch when the opening video montage of Sheen's career did not play. Morgan asked him about his career and recent troubles, before handing the questions over to the floor. The audience questions were mixed- ranging from "What's your next big project?" to "Will you marry me?" His declined the latter offer by saying: "Nothing personal when you suck that badly at something, like I do with marriage... I wouldn't do that to you." Asked by Morgan what the best movie he has ever made is, Sheen replied he "hasn't made it yet". When one fan asked: "Are you still winning?" Sheen replied: "I mean, you all showed up tonight didn't you?" One audience member asked what he would want written on his tomb stone. Before Sheen had a chance to answer, an audience member shouted: "Winning!" - a reference to the series of interviews the actor gave in 2011, where he claimed to be a "warlock" with "tiger blood" who was "winning" in life. Sheen agreed this would be an appropriate epitaph. The actor abruptly left Two and A Half Men in 2011 during a breakdown. He was replaced on the show by Ashton Kutcher for a few years before the series ended last February. Admitting his regret about his sudden departure from the show, Sheen told Morgan he would behave differently if he had his time again. The actor also touched on US politics, and in particular the prospect of Republican candidate Donald Trump becoming president in November. Sheen suggested Trump's current success is down to "people responding to something different, fresh, innovative and maverick." "No judgement. If he gets in I've got to support him and hope he does the best job he can," the actor said. "If he doesn't, then that was a hell of a run... I guess the people will get what they deserve." Labour's Sadiq Khan said it must put internal squabbles aside to "talk about the issues that matter to citizens". Mr Khan said Conservative candidate Zac Goldsmith ran a "nasty" campaign which put minority groups off politics. But Chancellor George Osborne defended the Tory MP, saying the "rough and tumble" was part of elections. Mr Khan stopped short of condemning the Tories' London mayoral election campaign as racist. "I was disappointed that the Conservatives party chose to have a campaign that was nasty, negative and divisive," he told the Andrew Marr Show. "I have spent my entire life encouraging minority communities to get involved in civil society, in mainstream politics. I've been fighting extremism and radicalisation all my life. "You should conduct [politics] in a positive way to enthuse people to get involved." Asked about the tone of the Conservative campaign, Mr Osborne told Robert Peston on ITV's Peston on Sunday: "Politics is a robust thing in a democracy. Elections... There's a lot of rough and tumble." And he backed Mr Goldsmith, saying: "I went campaigning with Zac, there was a positive campaign there, obviously it didn't work in the end. "Of course he's got a future, he's a brilliant MP for Richmond." Also responding to a questions about Mr Goldsmith's campaign, former communities secretary Eric Pickles said: "I think the campaign's over now, let's move on." In Sunday's Observer newspaper, Mr Khan described Conservative tactics of suggesting London was not secure with him as mayor as "straight out of the Donald Trump playbook". He told the BBC he was instead concentrating on "a positive vision for our city". "How are we going to tackle the housing crisis? What are the challenges in relation to fares going through the roof? "How do we support businesses to grow and expand so more Londoners can get a living wage? How do we bring back neighbourhood policing, and the issue of security?" Labour's mission was to "change people's lives for the better", he said, adding that they did that by winning elections. Speaking later in the day at a Holocaust memorial event, at which he sat next to Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, Mr Khan said: "I see myself as a unifier." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was absent from Mr Khan's signing in as mayor on Saturday, instead choosing to visit Bristol's new mayor Marvin Rees. Mr Corbyn has been embroiled in a row over anti-Semitism within the party. Mr Khan's victory ends eight years of Conservative leadership at City Hall, under Boris Johnson. Mr Khan, who has confirmed that he will be standing down as MP for Tooting after win the mayoralty, said Labour had to stop talking about internal issues and reach beyond the core Labour vote. "I want a big tent. We want to speak to everyone, there's no point us just speaking to Labour voters," he told the BBC. "That means me speaking to chief executives, to people who voted Conservative last time, UKIP, or stayed at home." BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier said Mr Khan's comments would be seen as a message not just to Jeremy Corbyn but also to the Labour leader's critics. Former Labour minister Caroline Flint said the Labour leadership needed to "make a hell of a lot more progress" after the local election results. "This is the worst result for an opposition party after a general election in 30 years. We need to be making far more inroads to be within an opportunity to win in 2020," she told the BBC's Sunday Politics. Shadow Scottish secretary Ian Murray, Labour's only MP in Scotland, backed the mayor. He told the BBC's Pienaar's Politics Labour needed "a much wider viewpoint" as feedback showed people "don't see Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party at the moment as being a credible party". As well as the mayoral election, Thursday saw a total of 2,747 seats in English councils - spanning metropolitan boroughs, unitary authorities and district councils - up for grabs, along with seats in the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and Northern Irish assemblies. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the SNP would try to find common ground with opposition parties as her party celebrated its third successive victory in the Holyrood election - though the result left the SNP two seats short of a majority in the parliament. In Northern Ireland the Democratic Unionists remain the biggest party in the Assembly, with Arlene Foster continuing as first minister. In English council polls Labour's vote share was down about 6% on average on 2012 - the last time the seats were contested - with 24 fewer councillors. But its share is up 4% on the general election in key wards, with the Conservatives down by a similar amount. In Wales, Labour is likely to seek to form a minority government after winning 29 of the 60 seats in Thursday's election. The party's vote is down by eight points overall, the Conservative vote is down by three points, and Plaid Cymru is up by two points. UKIP increased its vote by 12 points and saw seven candidates elected. The new mayor did not have a privileged start in life. He was one of eight children born to Pakistani immigrants, a bus driver and a seamstress, on a south London housing estate. From an early age, he showed a firm resolve to defy the odds in order to win success for himself and the causes important to him. That resolve has won him the biggest personal mandate in the UK, a job with wide-ranging powers over London and with enormous emotional significance for him. Some question whether he has the experience or record of good judgement necessary for the role. He insists he is there to represent all Londoners and to tackle inequality in the capital, and now he has the chance to prove it. The Sadiq Khan story 15 December 2016 Last updated at 17:22 GMT Smith, from Peterborough, was banned for two months by British Gymnastics after the video emerged on 7 October. The 27-year-old apologised over the clip, in which he was seen laughing and imitating Islamic prayers. City councillor Mohammed Jamil said Smith's apology meant he had "done enough" to earn his forgiveness. Sharon Shoesmith, who earned £133,000 a year, won a ruling in 2011 that she was unfairly sacked after a damning report into the death of Baby Peter. BBC Newsnight revealed the payout could cost Haringey Council up to £600,000. In a statement Ms Shoesmith bid a "final farewell" to Haringey, adding she hoped to resume work with children. Peter Connelly, who was 17 months old, died in 2007 after months of abuse. The boy had more than 50 injuries, despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over eight months. Timeline of Baby P case ▶ Sharon Shoesmith on child protection Three people were jailed in 2009, including his mother. The Court of Appeal concluded Ms Shoesmith had been "unfairly scapegoated" and her removal from office in December 2008 by the then Children's Secretary Ed Balls had been "intrinsically unfair and unlawful". One government source told BBC Newsnight that the cost to Haringey Council could be as high as £600,000, although Ms Shoesmith is expected to receive a lower sum. The exact figure may not emerge as there are confidentiality clauses preventing its disclosure but it will be significantly short of the £1m figure it had been reported she was seeking. However, it would appear the package is more than the minimum suggested by senior judge Lord Neuberger in a 2011 ruling in the Court of Appeal. He suggested Ms Shoesmith was entitled to a minimum of three months' salary plus pensions contributions. Three months' salary would have been about £33,000. Mr Balls said his decision in 2008 as children's secretary to remove Sharon Shoesmith from her job had been right. He told the BBC: "An independent report said there were disastrous failings in Haringey children's services. "They said the management was at fault. Sharon Shoesmith was the director of children's services and so of course it leaves a bad taste in the mouth that the person who was leading that department, and responsible, ends up walking away with, it seems, a large amount of money." Earlier, Conservative MP Tim Loughton said the payout became "inevitable" after the Court of Appeal ruled that Mr Balls "had made a complete botched job of her dismissal". But he added: "This is going to leave a really bad taste in taxpayers' mouths that a not insubstantial amount of public money is being used to pay off somebody who presided over a dysfunctional department in Haringey [where] a 17-month-old boy died in horrific circumstances." Care minister Norman Lamb said what happened in the aftermath of the Baby P's death was "extraordinary" but he was not in a position to judge the authority's decisions. "But it is pretty shocking, the scale of the reported payout, given what tragedy unfolded in that particular borough." In her statement, posted on an online networking site, Ms Shoesmith said: "A final farewell to Haringey as my case concludes. I wish those of you in children's services, especially in Haringey, success, strength and courage in all that you do. "Children have been my life's work and I hope to continue in some capacity soon now that my PhD is almost complete." A statement from Haringey Council confirmed it had reached a settlement with Ms Shoesmith but that the terms of the settlement were confidential and it was unable to comment further. Some of the cash will come from central government, but Haringey council will foot most of the bill, it is understood. An exact figure is yet to be agreed. The Department for Education declined to comment on the story when contacted by the BBC. But one source told Newsnight that Education Secretary Michael Gove was "furious" about the secrecy over the amount paid to Ms Shoesmith, believing it to be "indefensible". Downing Street said the Department for Education's contribution to the payout would be made public. Lawyers representing Haringey Council and Ms Shoesmith had been in lengthy discussions regarding a settlement since the May 2011 ruling. Ms Shoesmith had been due to return to court later this week, seeking a declaration that she remained employed by Haringey Council. That action has now been dropped and the settlement reached between the two parties is understood to be a final one. Peter Connelly's mother, Tracey Connelly, her boyfriend, Steven Barker, and his brother, Jason Owen, were jailed in May 2009 for causing or allowing the child's death. Earlier this month it was reported that Connelly was due to be released from prison on parole. Loop of Jade is described as an intimate exploration of Howe's Anglo-Chinese heritage through her journeys to Hong Kong to discover her roots. Howe, 33, took away £20,000 in prize money, while the nine others on the shortlist won £1,500. The prize started in 1993 for the 40th anniversary of the Poetry Book Society. The award is judged by a panel of established poets. Pascale Petit, who chairs the panel, said Howe "brings new possibilities to British poetry". "In a year with an incredibly ambitious and diverse shortlist, it was difficult to choose the winner. However, Sarah Howe's Loop of Jade shone with its startling exploration of gender and injustice through place and identity, its erudition, and powerful imagery as well as her daring experiment with form." Howe's competitors for the TS Eliot prize included Mark Doty, a previous winner of the award and the National Book Award for Poetry. Also on the shortlist were Selima Hall, Les Murray, Sean O'Brien and Don Paterson. Previous winners have included poetry grandees Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney, and former poet laureates Ted Hughes and Carol Ann Duffy. Last year's winner was David Harsent for his collection Fire Songs. Howe, whose mother is Chinese and father English, moved to England as a child. She has made a name for herself with poetry that grapples with the problems of cultural identity and representation. She previously won the Eric Gregory Award, for her pamphlet A Certain Chinese Encyclopaedia, and the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award for 2015. Publicist Rob Goldstone tells Donald Trump Jr that there is information that is "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr Trump". Mr Trump Jr replies: "If it's what you say, I love it." The emails led to a meeting in New York with a Russian lawyer. It appears to be the first confirmation that a Trump associate attended a meeting in the expectation of being handed sensitive information from Russian officials. US officials are currently investigating alleged Russian meddling in the US election. President Trump issued a brief statement in support of his son, describing him as "a high-quality person" and applauding his transparency. Later, the highest-ranked Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, said he wanted Mr Trump Jr and all participants in the meeting to testify before the panel. The emails to Mr Trump Jr, which he released on Twitter, say "the crown prosecutor of Russia" (a role that does not exist) had "offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father". The email chain was also forwarded to President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and campaign manager Paul Manafort. All three later met Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in New York. Since he was elected, President Trump has been dogged by allegations that Russia tried to sabotage Mrs Clinton's campaign. He has denied any knowledge of this and Russia has also repeatedly denied interfering. In May, the justice department appointed ex-FBI director Robert Mueller as special counsel to look into the Russian matter. The New York Times first reported on Saturday that a meeting had taken place on 9 June 2016 between Ms Veselnitskaya and the Trump team at Trump Tower. It later reported that Mr Trump Jr had earlier been offered alleged damaging information on Mrs Clinton. The Times had been expected to publish emails connected to the meeting, but Mr Trump Jr pre-empted this by posting the email chain on Twitter. He had earlier admitted meeting Ms Veselnitskaya but insisted she had provided "no meaningful information". He said she had wanted to talk about adoptions. Ms Veselnitskaya, who has been linked to the Russian government, has insisted she was never in possession of information that could have damaged Mrs Clinton. She said Mr Trump Jr and two senior campaign aides may have met her last summer because they were "longing" for such information. She has denied any connection with the Kremlin. The email chain posted by Mr Trump Jr shows: Mr Trump Jr also posted a statement saying he was releasing the email chain "to be totally transparent" and reiterated that the Russian lawyer had "no information to provide". Mr Goldstone has previously denied any knowledge of involvement in the election by the Russian government. Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America reporter The New York Times' description of the email to Donald Trump Jr from Rob Goldstone was bad news for the Trump presidency. The actual text of the emails, however, is absolutely devastating. Trump Jr was explicitly told the Russian government wanted to provide him with documents incriminating Hillary Clinton as part of its "support for Mr Trump". Son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chair Paul Manafort were apparently copied on the entire email chain the day before the meeting. Goldstone even offered to pass the information along to Donald Trump's personal assistant. These emails place dynamite under nearly a year's worth of assertions by Trump officials that there was no co-ordination between their campaign and the Russian government. Even if no collusion took place in this instance - all the parties to the meeting who are speaking publicly deny that any information was exchanged - Trump Jr wasn't just open to Russian help, he "loved" it. Time and time again members of President Trump's inner circle have denied contacts with Russian nationals only to later revise their assertions when new facts emerged. These emails may have given the public the first glimpse of why such elaborate defences were constructed. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina - a Trump critic - said the emails were "very disturbing", adding that the meeting should never have been held in the first place. He told reporters on Capitol Hill: "This is the most problematic thing that I've seen thus far... the most direct evidence yet... that the Russian government was interested in helping the Trump campaign."

Industrial production, a measures of output at factories, workshops and mines jumped 9% in July, compared to a 9.2% rise in June. Retail sales in July rose by 12.2%. But that's also below June's 12.4% spike. The latest data is raising doubts about China meeting its full year growth target of 7.5%. Hu Yuexiao, analyst with Shanghai Securities based in Shanghai said: "We expect further loosening measures to guarantee a steady economic growth in the coming months. Such measures could include an interest rate cut, and cutting red tape to attract more private capital into the infrastructure and service industries." In recent months, policymakers in China have unveiled a series of measures to help boost growth in the world's second largest economy. The steps include plans to cut taxes on small firms and speed up the construction of railway lines across the country. China's central bank has also made more cash available for banks engaged in lending to agriculture-related businesses and small companies. It has done so by lowering the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) - the amount of cash banks needs to keep in reserve. The central bank has said it will also encourage banks to lend more to exporters to boost shipments. The Chinese government has set a full year growth target of 7.5%. That is the same rate as last year. China's economy grew by 7.7% in 2013. Last week, China's trade figures showed a 14.5% jump in exports for July, compared with a year ago. That surge in exports had led many analysts to believe that strong external demand will keep the Chinese economy on the growth track for the rest of the year. The latest trade data puts China's trade surplus at a record $47.3bn (£28bn) for July. And data from earlier this month showed factory activity in China grew at its fastest pace in more than two years in July. The state's official purchasing managers index (PMI) rose to 51.7 in July, from 51 in June. The PMI is a key gauge of the health of the manufacturing sector and a reading above 50 indicates expansion. There is no lack of emotive words and stirring phrases from politicians around the world - it is questionable if they have a coherent strategy to counter it. The horror in Tunisia came a few days before the 10th anniversary of the London bombings, which killed 52 people and injured about 700. This year, there have also been shootings at the Charlie Hebdo office in Paris and a cafe in Denmark. But most of the victims of Islamist attacks are Muslims, in the Middle East. Last week, 27 died in the bombing of a mosque in Kuwait, and about 140 civilians were murdered in the Kurdish Syrian town of Kobane. Every year, the threat gets more serious, more brutal and, to some, more attractive. The UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, says he believes this is "the struggle of our generation" and it can be beaten, over time, if we "show extraordinary resolve and strength". Mr Cameron has also said that Islamic State (IS) is a "perversion of the religion of Islam" - a "poisonous death cult" that poses an "existential threat". One has to have a fairly lurid imagination to envision that IS could snuff out the UK. If it really were on the cards, if the flag of IS could one day flutter over Downing Street, if Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi poses the same level of threat to our nation as Hitler or Napoleon once did, you might expect some pretty dramatic, out-of-the-box thinking to be on display. Mr Cameron's proposals for "a full spectrum response" are very familiar - this of course does not make them wrong, but the portentous pronouncements do not seem to be matched with radical policies. We have heard about increased security, more intelligence, a pinch of military action, and a long-lasting battle of values before. It is perhaps telling that Mr Cameron objects to the BBC using the phrase "Islamic State", he prefers Isil - which stands for Islamic State in the Levant - or the preface "so-called". No doubt there will be a big debate about this, but personally I loathe that phrase. It is only used in ordinary conversation in scorn: "Your so-called girlfriend." And, it seems to me, once we start passing comment on the accuracy of the names people call their organisations, we will constantly be expected to make value judgements. Is China really a "People's Republic"? After the Scottish referendum, is the UK only the "so-called United Kingdom"? With the Greek debacle, there is not much sign of "European Union". But it also obscures an important truth. Critically, IS has ambitions to rule, not just destroy. It controls vast areas of Syria and Iraq and has more than mere footholds in Libya, Yemen and Nigeria. However understandable the desire to hold the words "Islamic State" at arm's length, using the verbal rubber gloves of "so-called", the name itself is doubly appropriate. An aspiration to be not simply a nation state but a supranational one - a worldwide caliphate, it is also a state of mind - an inspiration to lone wolves and those who want to travel to join the pack, from mad malcontents to the deeply disconnected. And, paradoxically, the fact that "Islamic State" is a geographical and political entity makes it easier to imagine its collapse or destruction. Mr Cameron talks of air strikes squeezing IS at source - although, of course, the Iraqi source, not the Syrian one. The state of mind that allows IS to grow is potentially more problematic and could well flourish even if Islamic State were to be beaten in Syria and Iraq. Mr Cameron has talked of taking on an extremist narrative that falls short of advocating violence at home. If the effort is focused on Bradford that is one thing - if he is telling allies in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to abandon core beliefs, that is a far more serious attempt to deal with the roots of the problems. Maj Gen Tim Cross, the most senior British solider to serve in the reconstruction of Iraq, sees IS as an organisation with imperial ambitions, a deliberate attempt to reconstruct the Ottoman Empire, growing against the background of a historic clash between Saudi Arabia and Iran, Sunnis and Shia. He says regional powers have to engage more and rich individuals, if not governments, are "feeding the tiger" of radicalism. "They've got to take it seriously, got to get engaged - this is not a small number of nihilists, it is a deeply ingrained issue," he says. He makes the point that this could be the Middle East's version of Europe's 30-year war - not just that it was a lengthy religious war that killed a quarter of the population, but that it eventually did end in a peace deal, which created modern Europe. But there is a critical element that is often ignored, a Western aversion to what should be obvious and beyond debate - the appeal of IS is not just an increasingly violent and fundamentalist interpretation of a religion, not just a retreat into the values of the past in the face of the shock of modernity, but an explicitly political reaction to the actions of the West. What is Islamic State? Former Prime Minister Tony Blair rightly said that al-Qaeda had been around before the invasion of Iraq. But it was not in that country and IS did not exist - nor was there the steady growth of lone wolves in the West. Of course, this is not all about Iraq but a wider perception of Western policy that goes very much further back. Radical, anti-colonial Islamic movements were around in the 19th Century - Gen Charles Gordon fell at Khartoum at the hands of one of them. This is not to argue what is right or wrong or how policymakers should deal with this sentiment. But to deny it is foolish. The West's relationship with Islamic radicalism and the Middle East in general has some of the deep resonance of quantum entanglement and is about as easy to understand. But learning some lessons may be critical for all our futures. The Bluebirds controversially changed from their traditional blue kit to a red strip for this season. Malaysian backer Tan Sri Vincent Tan has paid for the scarves which will be given out before kick-off at the Cardiff City Stadium. "It's a gift and a thanks for people backing his team," said Cardiff City manager, Malky Mackay. The Bluebirds are currently the Championship league leaders by eight points with a game in hand, and boss Mackay has backed the club's move to hand out the scarves. "Vincent Tan, our owner, wants to give everyone a scarf as a thank you and appreciation of people's commitment this season and who have backed the team," said Mackay. "He was there again on Saturday and he will be there on Tuesday night and he wants to give a scarf so people can cheer the team." Cardiff City unveiled controversial plans to rebrand the club in June, including changing the kit from blue to red and introducing a new badge. The changes were part of a "major and significant" investment pledge from Cardiff's Malaysian owners but the decision divided supporters of the Bluebirds. Cardiff's investors Tan Sri Vincent Tan and Dato Chan Tien Ghee believed the change of colour would expand the club's appeal in "international markets". As well as wearing red rather than blue home shirts - for the first time since 1910 - the Championship club say they will now look into expanding Cardiff City Stadium and upgrading the club's training facilities. The club's Malaysian owners have pledged £100m investment for squad strengthening, debt repayment and upgrading facilities to get the side to the Premier League. The scarf promotion, which will only take place ahead of the visit of the Seagulls, will also see supporters given the chance to win a season ticket for the 2013-14 season. The promotion will run for Cardiff's remaining eight home games at the Cardiff City Stadium, with any fan wearing a red scarf during those games having a chance to win the season ticket. Cardiff beat Bristol City 2-1 at the same venue on Saturday to keep their promotion push for the Premier League on track. Yet for the determined Briton, who began in karting at the age of eight, there were few role models to look to for inspiration. In the entire history of the sport, only five women have entered a grand prix weekend. Just two - Maria Teresa de Filippis in the 1950s and Lella Lombardi in the 1970s - actually started a race. Unperturbed, Wolff set off on the path that she hoped would end with her one day sat behind the steering wheel of an F1 car, taking her place alongside the elite of motorsport. After competing in a number of different categories of racing, including the highly rated German touring car series, she entered Formula 1 in 2012 with a trial at Williams, which developed into a full-time test role. Media playback is not supported on this device Wolff edged closer to her ultimate goal, taking part in four practice sessions at race weekends in the years that followed. When Valtteri Bottas injured his back at the Australian Grand Prix back in March, it finally opened up the possibility of the Briton getting the chance to compete in her first grand prix. But when Williams ruled out promoting Wolff from her role and signed Adrian Sutil as cover for their drivers instead, it sent a blunt message to Wolff that, even if the opportunity to race arose, she would be overlooked. "It was the harsh reality that the dream wasn't going to come true," she said when announcing her retirement from motorsport earlier this month. "I always said that as soon as I couldn't get any further I would stop and that time has come." Wolff might not have realised her childhood dream, but what she has done is inspire others. After her retirement, messages of appreciation flooded Twitter, some speaking of daughters wanting to go racing, others saying she inspired them to pursue their own personal life ambitions. "I dared to be different," said Wolff. "I want to inspire others to do the same." She can be proud that she has done exactly that. Who else made BBC Sport's Stars of the Season list? Find out here. The village of Jatt, in the north of the country, removed the sign, officials said. On Saturday Benjamin Netanyahu said streets in Israel could not be "named after murderers of Israelis and Jews". Many Palestinians see Arafat as an icon in their fight for a state but many Israelis view him as a terrorist. Mohammed Watad from Jatt council told Israeli TV that the sign had been up for nine years. Israeli Arab MP Ayman Odeh criticised the decision to remove the name. "It is completely your right to say 'I am completely against this man'," he said, but added that Israel also named streets after controversial figures. "I cannot accept this is OK but calling a street after Yasser Arafat is not OK." Arafat led the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) for 35 years. The movement was sworn to Israel's destruction and carried out many deadly attacks. Arafat later renounced violence and won the Nobel peace prize jointly with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres in 1994 for agreeing Israel-Palestinian peace accords. However many Israelis held him responsible for attacks by Palestinian militants from areas under his control during the second Palestinian intifada (uprising) which began in 2000. Arafat was Palestinian president from 1994-2004, when he fell ill in his compound in Ramallah. He died in hospital in France weeks later, aged 75. Although Arabs make up about 20% of Israel's population, many of them identify politically and culturally with Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. There is dispute over whether Holyrood has the power to change the law, with talks with Westminster underway. Ministers want to legislate to prevent parked cars from causing a problem for guide dog owners, wheelchair users and parents with pushchairs. Transport minister Derek McKay said the issue should be addressed by the next government, if not this term. He said the issue should be championed by any incoming government after next year's Scottish Parliament elections if the current administration was not able to resolve it before then. He said: "I'm giving a commitment from this government, that if we are re-elected we will legislate on this area. "But what I'm also doing is working on a cross-party basis to flag up to everyone that if we have consensus from parliament, any incoming government might wish to legislate." Consultations on the matter have previously won broad support in Scotland, but confusion remains over which parliament has jurisdiction. Action against pavement parking has also been examined in England and Wales, but talks have been held over giving MSPs power to change the law on the subject. Essam, 24, rejoins The Whites from fellow National League club Eastleigh, having previously played nine games during a loan spell last season. The former Gillingham trainee joined Eastleigh in June on a one-year deal from Leyton Orient. Essam made 16 appearances for the Spitfires either side of a loan spell at Woking earlier this season.

Ms Villiers was speaking to BBC NI's The View programme amid speculation that agreement between the DUP and Sinn Féin may be imminent. She said there was a degree of hope because of the commitment of the parties to get an agreement. "I think it is possible that we could have a deal next week," she said. "I am realistic about the state of the talks. "As I have said I think that the gap between the parties on some key issues has been closing but there are some difficult problems still to be resolved." Mr Ai told the BBC he had been told he could not leave China - which was very "disappointing". He also spoke of constant surveillance in the year since his release from detention. He was detained last year and then fined for tax evasion, actions he says are politically motivated. He is challenging the $2.4m (£1.59m) fine but was prevented from attending a court hearing earlier this week. His bail ended a year after his 22 June 2011 release from custody, but Mr Ai said he was still subject to restrictions. "My feelings are very mixed," he said. "They told me I cannot leave the nation. I asked them for how long and they said: 'We cannot answer you'. It seems very disappointing." The artist said he would like to go to both the UK and the US later in the year for work, but did not know whether it would be possible. "It comes as a surprise they will not let me travel, because you cannot give somebody freedom and say there are strings attached," he said. He said that for the past year he had been living under restrictions which he described as "sometimes very strong", including not being allowed to talk to foreign press or post on Twitter. "Of course, I have violated many of them because it is impossible for me not to reveal some truth," he said. "I have been followed, even in the park... You see people hiding behind the bushes, you see they are recording, video tape," he said. "You see them following you everywhere, two cars, three cars, every day for past 300-something days... Then of course they tap your phone, they check your e-mail, they do whatever is possible to violate your privacy." The artist said he is now being investigated for alleged crimes including putting pornography on the internet - believed to stem from a portrait showing him seated, surrounded by four naked women. The artist, an outspoken critic of the government, was detained for almost three months without charge last year. After he was released, he was accused of tax evasion and the fine imposed. It comes after the chief executive for equipment at the Ministry of Defence told a Commons committee there was no start date for building the fleet. The SNP said the situation meant the project was "delayed indefinitely". However, Duncan McPhee from Unite said the contract was still guaranteed. He told BBC Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: "There is guarantees. The guarantees are that the eight ships will be built on the Clyde, we've had that confirmed. The main issue is the timetable, which is causing us the real problems and that has to be sorted out as soon as possible." The UK government confirmed in its Strategic Defence and Security Review in November 2015 that eight Type 26 frigates would be built for the Royal Navy at BAE's Govan and Scotstoun yards on the Clyde. Mr McPhee said BAE bosses were in negotiations with officials at the MoD to resolve the timetable issues and that a "political decision" was needed to "reinstate money" to the programme. He said: "It means for jobs that we have the workforce geared up for this programme and that workforce will remain. "It means that we are going to have to do a lot of things between the company and moving different work packages about, keeping people at Rosyth maybe for longer working on the aircraft carriers, maybe having to transfer people down to Barrow for the submarine programme so we will keep the jobs. He added: "The one thing that the trade unions will not be accepting in the workforce is any redundancies. We've been through our redundancy programme and we won't entertain any more of that." Former first sea lord Admiral Lord West last month told the House of Commons Defence Committee that the project had been put back from 2016 because "there's almost no money available this year, and we are really strapped next year". In a Twitter exchange with Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson over the issue, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the lack of a clear timetable for the order was a "disgraceful betrayal" of Clyde shipyard workers. She said the delay was in sharp contrast to the commitments given during the Scottish independence referendum campaign when then Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael said only a vote to remain in the UK would guarantee the shipyard jobs. However, Ms Davidson retorted that an independent Scotland had no plans to build any frigates on the Clyde. The Ministry of Defence has denied that a shortage of money is behind delays in the construction of the frigates. They said no start date had been agreed because design of the warships was only 60% complete. A spokesman said: "The UK government is committed to building ships on the Clyde and to the Type 26 programme. "Over the next decade, we will spend around £8bn on Royal Navy warships and, because Scotland voted to remain part of the UK in 2014, it will continue to be an important manufacturing base for them." Brendan O'Hara, the SNP's defence spokesman, said the situation would bring "no comfort to the workers on the Clyde who now look like they are facing an indefinite delay". "This latest blow to the Type 26 programme is an absolute disgrace." He added. Scottish Labour's Ian Murray said it was important that new Prime Minister Theresa May keeps the promises made by her predecessor. The MP, who is his party's Westminster spokesman, added: "Scottish Labour will continue to push for these jobs to come to Glasgow on time and in full, as originally promised." The mound of soil, stone bricks and kerbs, discovered at about 07:45 GMT on Wednesday, has completely blocked Back Lane in Tibberton, Shropshire. Telford and Wrekin Council says it appears to have been fly-tipped and it is now clearing up the mess. An emergency road closure is in place and police are on the scene. The driver of the car was left shocked but uninjured. See more stories from across Shropshire here Angela McClements, the council's cabinet member for transport, customer and neighbourhood services, said it was a "disgraceful environmental crime" as she asked people with information to get in touch. "Whoever has done it has acted with a complete lack of responsibility, blocking a road and resulting in significant clear up costs for the council," she said. Back Lane in Tibberton remains closed while the road is cleared. Diversions are in place. He was attacked at a flat in Cannyreagh Road after midnight on Saturday. He is in a stable condition in hospital. Det Sgt Melanie McGrory said the suspect left the flat but was followed by other party goers. Police arrested a 30-year-old man a short distance away on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an offensive weapon. According to police, the five blew themselves up before their hideout was stormed. Police say two of the dead were women. A fire fighter was also killed and three policemen injured. Police believe the militants belonged to an offshoot of the banned Jamiatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). The group has been blamed for a series of attacks on minority groups and secular writers and bloggers. The raid is one of a number in recent weeks and comes at a time when many in Bangladesh thought security forces had managed to curb Islamist militancy, following the deadly siege on a cafe in Dhaka last year. Bangladeshi police maintain that an offshoot of the JMB, called the neo-JMB, has carried out many recent attacks, despite claims to the contrary by so-called Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda. An Airbus A320's wing passed 6m (20ft) below a drone hovering at Heathrow, said the Civil Aviation Authority. It said drone pilots would face prosecution if they put the safety of other aircraft at risk. News about the mid-air encounter comes only days after a Lufthansa jet nearly collided with a drone on the approach to Warsaw's international airport. The CAA said it had recorded six other incidents between May 2014 and March 2015 at airports around the UK in which drones and piloted craft almost collided. "Drone users must understand that when taking to the skies they are entering one of the busiest areas of airspace in the world," said Tim Johnson, director of policy at the CAA, in a statement. Drone owners must be aware of the rules and regulations surrounding the flying of their craft, he said. Recklessly endangering an aircraft is a criminal offence, said Mr Johnson, and those convicted could face a five-year jail sentence. The authority has issued a set of safety guidelines which, it said, should help ensure drone flights do not impinge on other aircraft. The "dronecode" says recreational drone owners should always keep their craft within their line of sight, about 500m (1,640ft), and must not fly higher than 122m. In some of the near-collisions, drones were flying at heights of about 2,000ft, it said. The code also says that drones carrying cameras must stay at least 50m away from people, vehicles and structures and must not approach a large group of people closer than 150m. It urged owners to exercise common sense when flying their craft and to avoid the congested airspace around airports. "Drone operators need to put safety at the forefront of their minds when flying though, and ensure there is no conflict with commercial manned traffic," said Stephen Landells from the British Airline Pilots Association. The jab protects against viral infections that cause cirrhosis and liver cancer. Babies are already vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, Hib and polio. Public Health England said the new vaccine had been "shown to be safe". Babies are currently given vaccinations when they are eight, 12 and 16 weeks old and the new injection will be given at the same time as the others. Previously, the hepatitis B vaccine was available on the NHS as a separate jab and was only administered to infants considered at risk, such as those born to infected mothers. While hepatitis B rates in the UK are generally very low, in some inner city areas up to 1% of antenatal women are infected. The infection has no symptoms so many of these women will be unaware they are ill, while their babies are considered at high risk. Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, said: "The Hexavalent vaccine has been extensively tested and shown to be safe and is widely used internationally with millions of doses being given around the world." The six-in-one vaccine does not have any live organisms, meaning there is no risk of infants contracting any of the diseases. Det Con Elaine McIver, who was 43, worked for Cheshire Police. The off-duty officer was among 22 people killed in the explosion at Manchester Arena on Monday. Her family, who said her partner Paul was also injured in the blast, said "she will live in our hearts forever". A further 64 people were injured and taken to hospital following the attack. Ms McIver's family said in a statement: "Elaine was a much-loved daughter, sister, auntie, friend and colleague, the best we could ever have wished for." "She was everyone's friend, thoughtful beyond belief, with an effervescent and outgoing personality." Her family said she would have been "devastated" by her partner's injuries and they all wished him a speedy recovery. The statement continued: "Elaine just loved life, and had a major love of music. "Despite what has happened to her, she would want us all to carry on regardless and not be frightened by fear tactics: instead she regularly urged us all to rise up against it. "Although we will all miss her beyond belief, we absolutely know she will live in our hearts forever." Chief Constable Simon Byrne said: "It is with a heavy heart that I have to speak about the loss of a serving officer of ours in the Manchester Arena terrorist incident and all our thoughts are with her family at this time." He said Det Con McIver joined the Cheshire Constabulary as a special 20 years ago and became a regular officer in 1998. She then worked in Ellesmere Port, Warrington and in the economic crime unit at headquarters in Winsford before moving to the regional organised crime unit TITAN, the north west regional organised crime unit, in 2013. Mr Byrne said: "Friends who knew her well have described her as big hearted, bubbly and a positive person." He said the force was supporting her family and colleagues at "this very difficult time... as we come to terms with the loss of an officer in such tragic and heart-rending circumstances." He added: "We will not let evil win." Cheshire police and crime commissioner David Keane said there was "great sadness" felt by her friends and colleagues at Cheshire Constabulary and her current team at TITAN. He said: "We will be doing everything we can to support Elaine's family and our officers and staff. It is at moments like this that we must remain unified and strong." Police Scotland said they were called to the scene near Ellon at about 13:50 on Saturday. The fire and ambulance service were also sent to the collision, but there is no information about the extent of the injuries of the people involved. A police spokesman said the road would be closed for a "lengthy period" while crash investigators worked at the scene. Diversions are in place and the force has appealed for witnesses to contact them. Sgt Harmit Bahra won an employment tribunal in 2014 that found he had been passed over for promotion by Bedfordshire Police on grounds of race. He was awarded £200,000 damages and in 2015 the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) began investigating 15 officers for gross misconduct. The IPCC said the case was "complex". Mr Bahra says the IPCC's investigation into officers named by the tribunal over their conduct in the discrimination was taking too long to come to a decision. But in a statement, the IPCC Associate Commissioner Guido Liguori said: "This has been a complex and resource-intensive investigation that has now reached a critical and significant stage. "We will be working hard to bring this investigation to a close and provide our report to the appropriate police forces to determine next steps." The tribunal found Mr Bahra was denied promotion and victimised while serving with the force between 2007 and 2010. Mr Bahra claimed those involved could have been disciplined much earlier by Chief Constable Jon Boutcher if he had "instigated the fast track options that he had under the police misconduct regulations and dismissed [the officers involved] a long time ago." But Mr Boutcher, who was not in post when Mr Bahra was discriminated against, denied he avoided taking disciplinary action or that he delayed referring the case to the IPCC. "In order to stop Mr Bahra or anyone else criticising what we did, I got the very best legal advice possible to see how this could be investigated in a way everybody would be confident with regards to how that was done," he said. He added he referred the case to the IPCC three months after the tribunal result. Mr Tsipras posted four tweets on Sunday addressed to Ahmet Davutoglu, complaining about Turkish violations of Greek airspace. "Fortunately our pilots are not mercurial as yours against the Russians," his first tweet read. Mr Davutoglu replied urging Mr Tsipras to "focus on our positive agenda". The exchange followed last week's downing of the Russian warplane, which Turkey said had violated its airspace while carrying out missions in Syria. Russia denied the plane was over Turkish territory and a major diplomatic row ensued. The exchange came as both prime ministers attended the European Union-Turkey summit on refugees in Brussels on Sunday. The two sides struck a deal there to try to control the flow of migrants into Europe, under which Turkey will receive €3bn (£2.1bn) and political concessions in return for clamping down on its borders and keeping refugees in the country. Mr Tsipras said in his tweets: "What is happening in the Aegean is outrageous and unbelievable. We're spending billions on weapons. You--to violate our airspace, we--to intercept you. "We have the most modern aerial weapons systems--and yet, on the ground, we can't catch traffickers who drown innocent people." It was unclear whether Mr Tsipras was conveying a conversation he had had with Mr Davutoglu. Mr Tsipras's tweets were later deleted from his English Twitter account, where instead a tweet read: "We are in the same neighborhood and we have to talk honestly so we can reach solutions #EUTurkey." But the comments were still up on his Greek account. Mr Davutoglu chose to respond just once on his Twitter account, saying: "Comments on pilots by @atsipras seem hardly in tune with the spirit of the day. Alexis: let us focus on our positive agenda." One Twitter user called the Greek Analyst noted: "Tsipras showing off his twitter "diplomacy" skills. #Greece #EUTurkey." A later posting read: "Tonight's twitter shenanigans by #Tsipras only point towards diplomatic amateurism & lack of foreign policy direction. There's no plan." Another user, Apostolis Fotiadis, said the uploading and deleting of the tweets was "a communication disaster". It says the consumer e-book market - which excludes text books and professional manuals - will increase in value from £380 million to £1 billion. At the same time, sales of printed books are forecast to fall by a third. PwC said 50% of the UK population would own an iPad, Kobo, Kindle or similar e-reader device by 2018. It added that 15.5 billion apps were expected to be downloaded in the UK in 2018. The company's evaluation of the e-book market is at odds with the founder of the Waterstone's book shop who predicted the "e-book revolution" would soon go into decline. Tim Waterstone told the Oxford Literary Festival in March that "every indication - certainly from America - shows the [e-book] share is already in decline. The indications are that it will do exactly the same in the UK." But Phil Stokes, an entertainment and media partner at PwC, said: "This growth is being driven by the internet and by consumers' love of new technology, particularly mobile technology." The report went on to say that the UK's entertainment market is expected to be worth £64 billion by 2018. Filmed entertainment, currently worth £3.9 billion will rise to £4.6 billion by 2018. The market for video games is expected to reach £4.1 billion, with digital console games expected to overtake online games this year and mobile games in 2017. Last year's best-selling e-book on Amazon - which has 79% of the UK market - was Dan Brown's Inferno. Mr Stokes said. "The entertainment and media industry is at the forefront of the digital revolution, because so many of its products and services can already be delivered in digital form. "It may not be long before digital revenues from print, film, publishing and music overtake physical revenues in some markets." The deal, which follows years of negotiations with the estate of the late Lady Mairi Bury, will increase the size of the attraction ten-fold. It will lead to the opening up of 20 miles of walking trails, as well as the restoration of Georgian buildings. It comes as a £7.5m project to restore the stately home nears completion. The trust hopes the renovation, together with the land purchase, will boost annual visitor numbers from 160,000 to 250,000. The charity has acquired rolling parkland and woodland which make up the historic demesne of the famous house and gardens near the shore of Strangford Lough. The purchase reunites the house with its demesne, decades after the gardens and house were gifted to the National Trust. Lady Bury, who died in 2009, was the youngest daughter of the 7th Marquess of Londonderry. The family had owned Mount Stewart since 1740. Jon Kerr, the trust manager at Mount Stewart, said: "In time, visitors will be able to explore extensive woodland, previously unseen walled gardens, farmland and a range of historic monuments and buildings." The trust said if it had not bought the land, there was the prospect of development activity. "At a number of points, we were not sure we were going to be successful," said Mr Kerr. "We just could not miss the opportunity to secure it for the people of Northern Ireland." The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) will give conclusions on Friday. Its report will not apportion blame but is set to look at the cause of the crash and make safety recommendations. Leslye Polito, whose son Daniele died when a jet hit the A27 during the Shoreham air show in West Sussex on 22 August 2015, said she wanted answers. The vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to the dual carriageway, destroying several vehicles and bursting into flames. The families are attending a private briefing on Thursday. Live: More on this story and other news from Sussex "I'm interested to know what the conclusions are in the report and to see if there is any new information. That's all I'm hoping for right now," said Ms Polito, from Worthing. Pilot Andy Hill, 52, from Hertfordshire, who survived the crash, has been investigated for possible manslaughter. Sussex Police said its investigation was continuing and officers awaited the AAIB report. The Reverend Terry Stratford, associate priest of St Mary De Haura Church in Shoreham, where a service marked the first anniversary of the crash, said: "Once the report is out, people will be able to take it on board. "But for the families, they are still facing up to the tragic deaths of their loved ones in terrible circumstances. "Everybody - the families and the community - just want to know what happened." James Healy-Pratt, a lawyer for the families, said relatives had waited patiently for 20 months and described the report as "a critical step on the journey to the truth". But he said families understood questions would remain after the AAIB report that would better be answered by the coroner and police. Inquest proceedings were delayed while West Sussex coroner Penelope Schofield awaited the AAIB report and police investigation. The Glasgow-based lender, which includes Yorkshire Bank, is to have 70% to 80% of its shares transferred to existing shareholders of National Australia Bank (NAB). The remaining 20% to 30% of shares in a new entity, known as "listco", will be offered to institutional investors. NAB says it intends to complete the break-up by the end of this year. Shares are to be listed on the London Stock Exchange and traded also on an Australian market. "This is a substantial and complex undertaking, subject to risk and addressing a number of issues, of which the most substantive is conduct mitigation," the bank stated. NAB has been told by the British regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, that it has to provide up to £1.7bn in cover against the potential costs of misconduct and mis-selling. The bank says there remain "significant risks and uncertainties" around conduct. It recently faced a £21m fine for failing to handle mis-selling claims properly. One team tried to tamper with customers' records in an effort to reduce pay-outs, and then used those records to mislead the financial services ombudsman. The announcement about a demerger was made from NAB's Melbourne headquarters and follows years of trying unsuccessfully to find a buyer for the Clydesdale, which constitutes NAB's European retail division. NAB's new chief executive, Andrew Thorburn, made it clear last autumn that shedding the UK subsidiary was a high priority for 2015. It has been seen as a drag on the Australian lender's performance, with the parent company taking on a troubled commercial lending book worth £5.6bn in order to strengthen the subsidiary. The chief executive's announcement of an initial public offering (IPO) or flotation came with NAB's half-year results. Clydesdale Bank reported a 33% improvement in pre-tax cash earnings to £118m. Gross lending increased by 5% to £28bn and mortgage lending was up 15%. A £11m one-off spend was made to help attract customers to current accounts and tax-free individual savings accounts. Average deposit volumes over the past half year averaged £24.2bn, up by £900m. And internet banking customer numbers were up from 599,000 to 659,000 in the year to March. The results showed Clydesdale and Yorkshire had 294 branches in mid-March, down by 28 on the same point in 2014. A further 19 branches are due to close, including Glasgow Springburn, Denny, Dollar, Forres, Helensburgh, Kilwinning, one in Dundee and one in Hamilton. Yorkshire Bank branches being closed include one in Blackpool, Driffield, Stalybridge, Featherstone, Kettering, Elland, Barnsley, Altrincham and one in Leeds. Meanwhile, NAB announced it is raising A$5.5bn (£2.9bn) through a rights issue. Debbie Crosbie, the acting chief executive of Clydesdale, said the demerger announcement "marks the beginning of an exciting new opportunity for Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks. "Our performance is improving and we're providing real customer choice in the UK, which is driving encouraging growth across our target retail and SME [small and medium-sized enterprise] markets." She added: "We believe the foundations of a strong standalone future have been laid in the progress made restructuring and refocusing our business, and this is clear in our half-year results." The Clydesdale Bank was founded in Glasgow in 1838. It has been owned by NAB since 1987, having previously been owned by Midland Bank. Yorkshire Bank was founded in 1859. A regional official told the BBC that 8,000 people were given precautionary evacuation orders late on Monday, in addition to some 4,000 who had already been advised to leave. More than 80,000 people fled the fire that hit Fort McMurray two weeks ago. Air pollution in the Alberta city is still at dangerously high levels. A reading on Monday found the level to be 38 - far exceeding the provincial index's most dangerous level of 10. The vast fire had moved away from Fort McMurray but in recent days it has started to threaten the area again. A number of oil workers had begun in recent days to return to the oil facilities north and south of Fort McMurray to restart production. But on Monday, they were warned that the wildfire was travelling at 30-40 metres per minute north of Fort McMurray. Over the course of the day, the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo extended its precautionary evacuation orders to all camps north of Fort McMurray and south of Fort McKay. These include the large Suncor and Syncrude sites. Suncor confirmed, in a statement, it had "started a staged and orderly shutdown of our base plant operations" and its staff were being transported to camps further north. "Suncor has enhanced fire mitigation and protection around all of its facilities," it said. "When it is safe to do so, we will continue implementing our restart plans." Thick smoke and ash over a wide area are said to be hampering the fire-fighting operation and hot-dry winds have been fanning the flames. Fire crews were also trying to control a blaze south-east of Fort McMurray that is threatening an oil installation, and another fire is burning not far from the Fort McMurray neighbourhood of Timberlea. Source: Alberta government Canada's black gold oil rush Meanwhile, work is under way to restore essential services to Fort McMurray, paving the way for the return of the 80,000 residents. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said on Monday that electricity had been restored to most of the city, the water-treatment plant was working and the airport was ready to reopen. But she has warned against anyone trying to return until air quality readings drop significantly. "This is something that could potentially delay recovery work and a return to the community," she added. Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau told CBC News that the cost of the disaster was still being evaluated. "We're obviously going to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people in Fort McMurray and rebuild the city," he said. The wildfire still covers about 2,410 sq km (930 sq miles) and is expected to burn for a few more weeks. Based on investments so far, the California-based firm would be worth between $20bn and $25bn (£16bn-£20bn). That would make it the largest US flotation since Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba listed two years ago. Snapchat's parent company Snap declined to comment on the reports to the BBC. The company began in 2012 as a mobile app that allowed users to send photos that vanish within seconds. It now has 100 million daily users, which is more than Twitter. And with 60% of its users aged between 13 and 24, it is seen as an appealing way for advertisers to reach young people. Snap's founder, 26-year-old Evan Spiegel, turned down an offer from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to buy Snapchat for $3bn just three years ago. If it goes ahead, it would be the biggest US technology flotation since Facebook's $81bn launch in 2012. According to several reports, Snapchat has filed a confidential application for an initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The US Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act allows companies with less than $1bn in revenue to secretly file. The idea is that firms can test the appetite among investors, while keeping their finances confidential. For a platform built around disappearing messages, Snapchat has had incredible staying power. The distinctive app has mostly shaken off its reputation as a place for sexting and morphed into a major publishing platform. Snapchat is in many ways the 'txt spk' or slang of yesteryear. The fact it's a mystery to many over 30 is presumably at least part of the reason it's so appealing to teenagers across America and beyond. That "beyond" will be the big question hanging over Snap's possible IPO. Twitter's stock has tanked thanks to an inability to grow beyond its core US audience. Snap will need to avoid the same fate by building on tentative steps in overseas markets. But the signs are good. As well as rapid growth so far, Snap has impressed by rolling out feature after feature to the platform - all executed seamlessly. Just last week their Spectacles hardware went on sale - showing the company perhaps has wider potential than just producing great software. All in all, an attractive proposition for investors, and that's reflected in the valuation. It seems likely to price higher than Google's $23bn debut in 2004. The company has attracted major investors, but with some questioning whether having advertising sales as the only significant form of revenue was sustainable, the firm is branching out. In September it rebranded itself as Snap, and earlier this month debuted its video-camera sunglasses called Spectacles. The kit can connect to smartphones and send video and photos to the app. Henry Ramos Allup, 72, will be the first opposition politician to lead the National Assembly in 16 years following a landslide victory in legislative elections on 6 December. Mr Ramos said he would ensure the assembly would act "as an autonomous power." The newly elected lawmakers will take up their seats on Tuesday. Mr Ramos Allup was chosen by opposition lawmakers in a secret ballot with 69 votes out of 111 cast, defeating 46-year-old Julio Borges of the Justice First party. He is expected to be formally confirmed in the post when the lawmakers take up their seats. Mr Ramos Allup is the secretary general of the social-democratic Democratic Action party, which has long been opposing the socialist government of President Nicolas Maduro and his predecessor in office, Hugo Chavez. The government says Mr Ramos Allup is a member of Venezuela's "old guard". His Democratic Action was one of two parties that alternated in power for four decades before President Hugo Chavez was elected president in 1998. But his supporters say the 72-year-old has the experience and political savvy to turn the National Assembly into a counterbalance to President Maduro's executive branch. Mr Ramos Allup said the MUD opposition coalition, which won a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, would show Venezuelans "a more democratic way forward". Known for his sometimes confrontational style, he struck a surprisingly conciliatory note after his election. "We represent an alternative. We are not going to be anti-establishment, rather an autonomous legislative power," he said. "We ask people to watch us, to demand more of us, and keep an eye on what we do to make sure we honour our commitment," he added. Nevertheless, the first session of the assembly is expected to be tense after the opposition coalition said all of its 112 members would take up their seats even though three have been suspended by the Supreme Court pending investigations into alleged voting irregularities. Tension is also expected to be high around the National Assembly building, as both the opposition and the governing Socialists have called on their supporters to converge on the building. The secret initiative, put forward two years ago, was the brainchild of the then most senior UK military officer, General Sir David Richards. It was considered by the PM and the National Security Council, as well as US officials, but was deemed too risky. The UK government did not respond to a request for comment. Lord Richards, as he is now, believed his proposal could stem the civilian bloodshed in Syria as rebels fought troops loyal to Mr Assad. The idea was considered by David Cameron and Dominic Grieve, the attorney general, and sent to the National Security Council, Whitehall sources said. It was also put to senior figures in Washington, including General Martin Dempsey, the US's most senior military officer. Imams urge against Syria travel While it was thought to be too radical at the time, US President Barack Obama said last week he was seeking $500m (£291m) funding to train Syrian rebels - an echo of Lord Richards' plan. Insiders have told BBC Newsnight that Lord Richards, then chief of the defence staff but since retired from the military, warned Downing Street there were only two ways to end the Syrian civil war quickly - to let President Assad win, or to defeat him. With ministers having pledged not to commit British "boots on the ground", his initiative proposed vetting and training a substantial army of moderate Syrian rebels at bases in Turkey and Jordan. Mr Cameron was told the "extract, equip, train" plan would involve an international coalition. It would take a year, but this would buy time for an alternative Syrian government to be formed in exile, the PM was told. Once the Syrian force was ready, it would march on Damascus, with the cover of fighter jets from the West and Gulf allies. The plan envisaged a "shock and awe" campaign, similar to the one that routed Saddam's military in 2003, but spearheaded by Syrians. Though the plan was put to one side at the time, Mr Cameron was later persuaded to consider military action when evidence emerged of chemical weapons use in Syria. However, MPs voted against giving authority for a direct intervention last August. The US and UK accused the Assad government of being behind the attacks, but Damascus blamed rebel groups. Monzer Akbik, spokesman for the Syrian National Coalition, an opposition alliance, said: "The international community did not intervene to prevent those crimes and at the same time did not actively support the moderate elements on the ground. "A huge opportunity was missed and that opportunity could have saved tens of thousands of lives actually and could have saved also a huge humanitarian catastrophe." Professor Michael Clarke, of the Royal United Services Institute think tank, added: "We have missed the opportunity to train an anti-Assad force that would have real influence in Syria when he is removed, as he will be. "I think there was an opportunity two or three years ago to have become involved in a reasonably positive way, but it was dangerous and swimming against the broader tide of history… and the costs and the uncertainties were very high." He said it was now too late for the West to get involved. "Western policymakers in a sense have got to have the courage to do nothing and to work on what comes after the civil war," he said. "There are no good options over Syria. It is a slow-motion road accident." Tens of thousands of people have died and millions more have been displaced in three years of civil war in Syria. Many outlets are trying to gauge the mood of Republicans in Congress amid reports that President Trump asked Mr Comey to drop an inquiry into links between his former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Russia. In a sarcastic opinion piece, the New York Times, which first reported on Mr Comey's memo, says the memo's existence is "very bad news for an administration already suffocating itself in scandal". It expresses frustration with Republican lawmakers. "Richard Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the burden was on The Times to produce the memo," it says. "Perhaps he forgot his own committee's authority to subpoena Mr Comey's memo, and his testimony." "When will Republicans in Congress decide that enough is enough? Do they need Mr Trump's approval ratings to dip below 30%? Do they need first to ram through their deeply unpopular agenda? Or it is possible they might at last consult their consciences, and recall that they took an oath to uphold the constitution?" Dan Balz in the Washington Post describes the latest events as a "moment of reckoning" for the party. "As President Trump has lurched from one crisis to another, Republicans have chosen a strategy of compartmentalisation over confrontation, preferring to look away in hopes that the storm would pass," he says. "Now, after a pair of stunning revelations about the president, that approach may have run aground. "Calls for a special prosecutor or an independent investigation will intensify, though many Republicans will continue to resist, at least until their own political standing is in real danger. "But the double revelations of the past two days show that events are forcing a change in everyone's calculations." Politico says Republicans are in a bind because the crisis could threaten their entire legislative programme: "Health care, tax reform, building up the Pentagon — all of it is potentially threatened by the latest furore. "And if Republicans are paralysed and can't pass anything despite control of the White House and Congress, how can they justify their majorities when they go before voters next year?" CNN's Stephen Collinson says reputations are at stake because of the latest scandal. "It promises to have grave implications for the longevity of an administration that appears to slip deeper into utter disarray by the hour," he says. "There doesn't seem to be a way that both men [Mr Trump and Mr Comey] could survive the contest with their reputations intact." Collinson adds that testimony by Mr Comey would be "one of the most significant congressional appearances of modern times". "The practiced, analytical note-taking of a former FBI director who knows how to leave a paper trail would amount to a compelling piece of evidence in the court of public opinion and pit Comey's word against Trump's. "After all, a Comey memo could approach 'smoking gun' significance if it appears to prove that the president could conceivably be accused of obstructing justice - potentially grounds for impeachment." Unsurprisingly, right-wing media have been dismissive of Mr Comey's apparent revelations, but there were differing opinions about who was to blame. Tucker Carlson on Fox News urged viewers not to take everything they read at face value. He said "an awful lot of people in Washington" wanted to remove the president. "What are their motives? In a lot of cases those are completely unknown. A lot of what you hear and accept uncritically you ought to question." he said. Joel Pollak, writing in the pro-Trump news site Breitbart, however, points the finger at Mr Comey himself, who - it says - is clearly trying to cause maximum political damage to the president. "But this dagger is a rather dull blade," Pollak says. "It lacks any apparent 'quid pro quo' - a sense that Trump was offering something to Comey in exchange for dropping the investigation. "Democrats, predictably, are pouncing on the story," he adds. "But so far, is just the latest hysterical episode in their effort to deny the legitimacy of the November election. "If this is the best that Comey's 'paper trail' can produce, his 'revenge' may backfire, at least in political terms." One supplier said that a combination of flooding, cold weather and poor light levels had created a "perfect storm" of poor growing conditions. Courgettes and lettuces are likely to be much more pricey, one supplier said. Poor planting conditions could also affect prices at the end of the year. Floods in Spain's south-eastern Murcia region combined with cold weather in Italy has meant that many field crops such as lettuce and broccoli have been nearly wiped out, Nationwide Produce food marketing company managing director Tim O'Malley told the BBC. Peppers and aubergines are among others that have been hit. Murcia is reported to have recently had its heaviest rainfall in 30 years and is estimated to supply about 80% of Europe's fresh produce during the winter months. "The situation has got so bad that some vegetable suppliers have taken to importing lettuces from the US, a development that up until now has been pretty much unheard of," Mr O'Malley said. He said that the recent cold snap had meant that Italy - which normally exports vegetables at this time of the year - is now having to import them. The damage to the vegetable market is especially worrying for northern European countries like Britain - which even before the shortages imported 50% of its vegetables and 90% of its fruit, Mr O'Malley said. The price or availability of crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes and peppers is likely be affected, Mr O'Malley said, while crops planted before Christmas for harvest in 2017 are also likely to suffer. Philippe Binard, of Freshfel Europe, a forum based in Brussels that represents the fresh produce industry, told the BBC that the problems afflicting vegetable production were unprecedented, with the yield of courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes, broccoli and peppers from Spain down by about 25%, while prices had risen between 25% and 40%. "There has been a dramatic loss of production not only in Murcia but also in the Spanish regions of Andalusia and Valencia. All this has come at a time of heavy snowfall in Italy," he said. A spokesman for the British supermarket Tesco said that the bad weather conditions in Spain had resulted "in a few availability issues". "But we are working with our suppliers to resolve them as quickly as possible," he said. Hilltop Honey, based in Caersws, will sell its raw wildflower and creamed honey in 650 stores. Founder Scott Davies said the deal will double his business scope and full-time workforce of six. "Four years ago I walked into Newtown to sell my first four jars of honey and now I'm supplying at least 24,000 jars to Tesco. It's incredible," he said. "There is currently no raw honey on the shelves so it's really good for consumers, for British honey and for British beekeepers and bees." Welsh ministers created the Syrian Refugee Taskforce to deal with people arriving in Wales under the Vulnerable Persons Relocation (VPR) scheme. The Welsh Refugee Council told BBC Wales the group should expand to deal with around 3,000 asylum seekers and refugees already in Wales. Ministers said they were consulting on plans to help all seeking sanctuary. The taskforce met in Cardiff on Thursday to discuss healthcare, education and housing provision for refugees. The first Syrians to arrive in the UK as part of the VPR scheme, which is run by the Home Office, landed in Glasgow on Tuesday. The Welsh Refugee Council said about 40 were likely to come to Wales in December. First Minister Carwyn Jones has previously suggested between 500 and 600 could be settled in Wales over the next five years, based on the UK taking 10,000. With up to 20,000 refugees now expected, Wales' share is likely to be around 1,000. Hannah Wharf, from the Welsh Refugee Council, said the Welsh government's political response to refugees's needs was too narrow. "We need that response to expand to include all asylum seekers and refugees living and arriving in Wales," she said. "What we're going to end up with is a two-tier system, where a lot of resources and strategic oversight goes in to responding to the needs of people through the Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme. "What we don't want is to forget about the higher numbers and the very complex needs of the existing asylum seeker and refugee population". One man who came from Syria to Cardiff in September, who has been left homeless while waiting for his asylum claim to be processed, said: "I don't have anything to support myself. "I'm just going from place to place to the charities to feed myself. "It's made me feel I'm not welcome." Speaking after the taskforce meeting, Communities Minister Lesley Griffiths said all 22 councils were willing to resettle Syrian refugees, but she believed only around four were actually ready to do so. "It's very important we don't set any of them up to fail," she said. She rejected the call to expand the taskforce, saying it was specific to the VPR scheme and that other measures were being explored to help asylum seekers and refugees already in Wales. Earlier, the Welsh government said it was consulting on its Refugee and Asylum Seeker Delivery Plan, "to reflect on the wider lessons of the current crisis and ensure the plan matches today's changing circumstances". Miners from the Marikana mine, who have been on strike for nearly six weeks, cheered when mediators told them the pay rise of up to 22%. The deal was officially signed by both sides late on Tuesday night. Last month, police opened fire on demonstrators at the mine in Marikana, killing 34 striking workers. In total 44 people died at the mine in mid-August and unrest has spread to other mines. On Monday, President Jacob Zuma said that the disruption had cost the industry $548m (£337m) in lost output. He has ordered a judicial inquiry into what has become known as the "Marikana massacre" - the most deadly police action since the end of apartheid in 1994. The BBC's Andrew Harding in Johannesburg says there is a risk that the deal could trigger new turmoil in other mines - given the Lonmin action was an illegal strike that involved serious intimidation. But there is also hope that, at least in the short term, the crisis that has spread through parts of South Africa's mining sector may be coming to an end, he says. Lonmin shares rise after pay deal The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration told the BBC a delegation of workers' representatives had gone to inform the striking miners of the latest offer on Tuesday afternoon. The workers, most of who are rock drill operators, gathered to hear the address at a football pitch near the Marikana mine in Rustenburg, which is the centre of platinum mining in South Africa - about 80km (50 miles) north-east of Johannesburg. They have been demanding a monthly salary of 12,500 rand ($1,513; £935) - they currently earn between 4,000 and 5,000 rand. "What has happened here has been a victory really for the workers, and they're going to work on Thursday morning," AFP news agency quotes mediator Johannes Seoka, the Bishop of Pretoria, as saying. One worker held up a hand with the phrase "mission accomplished" written in black ink, AP news agency reported. Bishop Seoka, from the South African Council of Churches, told the BBC there would also be a one-off payment of 2,000 rand to help cover the weeks of not being paid while they were on strike. "Tonight's agreement and the subsequent return to work is only one step in a long and difficult process which lies ahead for everyone who has been affected by the events at Marikana, but it is essential in helping secure the futures of our tens of thousands of employees and all those who rely on Lonmin in the region," Simon Scott, Lonmin's acting chief executive said in a statement. Meanwhile, Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) has said it has re-opened its mines and expects them to be fully working by Wednesday. The world's largest platinum producer suspended its operations last week after thousands of people protested outside one of its Rustenburg mines. Retired bishop Ronald Mulkearns died aged 85, the Catholic Church confirmed. Last month he was asked once again to testify before a child sex abuse inquest following evidence from Cardinal George Pell. Cardinal Pell said the bishop deceived him about the activities of notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale. Ridsdale committed more than 130 offences against young boys while working as a chaplain at Ballarat's St Alipius school between the 1960s and the 1980s. "I can't nominate another bishop whose actions are so grave and inexplicable … His repeated refusal to act is, I think, absolutely extraordinary," Cardinal Pell said of Bishop Mulkearns in March. In February, Bishop Mulkearns told the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse he was sorry for moving paedophile priests. "I certainly regret that I didn't deal differently with paedophilia. We had no idea, or I had no idea, of the effects of the incidents that took place," he said. The Bishop of Ballarat Paul Bird described Bishop Mulkearns as man dedicated to his service over six decades, but acknowledged he had made some tragic mistakes. "He expressed his sorrow for these mistakes," Bishop Bird said in a statement. "His death means that the Royal Commission and survivors will not be able to hear any further evidence that he might have given and this will be a disappointment to them," he added.

By the age of 30, young men have earned £12,500 less on average compared to those born between 1966 and 1980, according to the Resolution Foundation. It suggested that men now were more likely to be working in basic service jobs, or part-time, with lower wages. The result was a narrowing pay gap between men and women. The Resolution Foundation is a not-for-profit research and policy organisation, which says its goal is to improve outcomes for people on low and modest incomes. Torsten Bell, executive director at the Foundation, said: "The long-held belief that each generation should do better than the last is under threat. Millennials - those born between 1981 and 2000 - are the first to earn less than their predecessors. "While that in part reflects their misfortune to come of age in the midst of a huge financial crisis, there are wider economic forces that have seen young men in particular slide back." The think tank said that young men have earned less than the generation before them in every year of their working lives - a pay deficit that adds up to £12,500 by the time they reach the age of 30. Many found themselves working on reduced hours in shops, bars and restaurants, whereas their predecessors were more likely to have been employed in manufacturing. The proportion of low-paid work carried out by young men has increased by 45% between 1993 and 2015-16, compared with a fall among young women, the report said. This has narrowed the gender pay gap, but for the wrong reasons, it said. "In one sense this is a story of female progress on a massive scale. Women are leaving low paid occupations in their thousands. As public policy has supported female employment, with better maternity and childcare policies, and cultural norms have shifted, more women are finding work that pays a good wage," said report author Daniel Tomlinson. "But, on the flip side, the fact that the UK has a large low-paid service sector economy is something that increasing numbers of young men will now be able to testify to. It's good news that low-paid roles are now more evenly shared between men and women but the way in which this is happening raises serious concerns about what the world of work has to offer some young men. "Young women are seeing a lack of generational pay progress and they are only catching-up with their male counterparts because of a deterioration in outcomes for young men. "Until robots can stack shelves or serve pizzas, there will always be a lot of work to be done in the UK's low-paid service sector. The burden of low paid work is becoming more gender balanced but it is far from being eliminated."

Men in their 20s are earning thousands of pounds less than the previous generation owing to the changing nature of work, a think tank has suggested.
