Summarize the following article: The Junction and Calton Athletic will share the proceeds of an auction of memorabilia from the sets of T2. The online auction takes place next month to coincide with the film's US release. Producer Andrew MacDonald said they chose to help The Junction because it works with young people on the "very streets" Trainspotting grew from. Mr MacDonald said: "I was introduced to the Junction by their Patron Irvine Welsh last April and was so impressed by what I had seen that when it came to choosing the two beneficiaries of T2 Trainspotting Memorabilia Auction the Junction was an obvious choice. "It feels really apt to be supporting The Junction in this way as it works with young people to reach their potential on the very streets Trainspotting grew out of."

Two Edinburgh charities are set to benefit from the sequel to the film Trainspotting.

Summarize the following article: From multicoloured scans of parts of the human body to vivid photos of creatures up close, the finalists of the annual Wellcome Image Awards have been announced. The thermal image above shows the temperature of two people's hands - a healthy person on the left, and someone with Raynaud's disease on the right. Both hands were put in cold water for two minutes before being imaged. The healthy hand then warmed at a considerably faster rate. "This image is striking because it shows so vividly the difference between normal circulation and the poor circulation of someone with Raynaud's disease - triggered by cold temperature, stress and anxiety," says head of Wellcome Images and chair of the judging panel, Catherine Draycott. Scroll down to see the other 19 finalists. Wiring the human brain Alfred Anwander, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences A kaleidoscope of colour reveals a map of pathways inside the brain of a young healthy adult. Different parts of the brain communicate with each other through nerve fibres - which are colour-coded here. Using a type of magnetic resonance imaging - or MRI - the image was created from mapping virtual slices of the brain, from top to bottom, tracking the direction and movement of water molecules. "We felt it captured the essence of the technique whilst giving a picture of the living brain," says Catherine Draycott. Black henna allergy Nicola Kelley, Cardiff and Vale University Hospital NHS Trust "Here you can see a black henna tattoo on the forearm of a young woman who has suffered an allergic reaction to the dye," explains Dirk Pilat, medical director for e-Learning at the Royal College of GPs, and a GP himself. "It's beautifully lit and shows the translucence of the skin that's been raised in blisters, capturing the early stage of the reaction." Dye from the henna plant is commonly used to temporarily stain skin or hair orange-brown, but chemical dyes can be added to turn the colour black. Human stem cell Sílvia A Ferreira, Cristina Lopo and Eileen Gentleman, King's College London "This is a scanning electron micrograph of a stem cell taken from the bone marrow inside the hip bone of a healthy person," explains Robin Lovell-Badge, a Wellcome awards judge and head of stem cell biology and developmental genetics at the Francis Crick Institute. "This really stood out, we found the natural symmetry alongside the very subtle colouring very striking. It's lovely and sharp." Stem cells can divide to make some of the other types of cells found in the body. This one is about 15 micrometres (0.015mm) across - and before the image could be taken, it was first frozen at cryogenic temperatures (lower than −150C or −238F). Dividing stem cell in the brain Paula Alexandre, University College London This swirling pattern shows different stages of a stem cell splitting in two inside the brain of a zebrafish before it hatches. The circle is about 250 micrometres (0.25mm) wide, and covers a time period of nine hours. Starting at about the eight o'clock position, the cell splits to make two different cells found in the brain. "It helps us visualise embryonic development by showing nature's beautifully orchestrated process of stem cell division - producing a new (purple) stem cell and a differentiated (white) nerve cell," says Anne Deconinck, executive director of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, in the US. Ebola virus David S Goodsell, RCSB Protein Data Bank "This illustration shows the internal structure of an Ebola virus particle, with the central core in three dimensions so you can see the internal structures more clearly," says visual artist Rob Kesseler, professor at Central Saint Martins at the University of the Arts London. The Ebola virus is about 100 nanometres (0.0001mm) wide - 200 times smaller than many of the cells that it infects. "The illustrator chooses pastel colours rather than tonal contrast to show the different elements of this tiny, often lethal virus. "It shows how illustration can uniquely show many different levels of detail simultaneously, with great beauty and clarity." Infectious disease containment unit David Bishop, Royal Free Hospital, London "This photograph provides a rare glimpse inside the UKs only high-level isolation unit, taken the day before a nurse was admitted after contracting Ebola," says judge Rob Kesseler. "It perfectly captures the calm before the storm, ghostly empty shapes of protective clothing hang, waiting for the patient to be rushed in." This special see-through tent surrounds a bed in the Royal Free Hospital in London. All air leaving the unit is cleaned, so the patient can be safely treated without putting other patients or staff at risk. Nurse Will Pooley made a full recovery. Swallowtail butterfly Daniel Saftner, Macroscopic Solutions "It was chosen because it shows so clearly what the mouthparts and the eyes of a swallowtail butterfly look like in really striking detail," says judge Eric Hilaire, science, environment and global development online picture editor at the Guardian. Butterflies have two big round eyes for seeing quick movements and two antennae for smelling. They also have a long feeding tube, which is curled up like a spring here, but it unrolls so the butterfly can use it like a straw to drink nectar from flowers. Moth scales Mark R Smith, Macroscopic Solutions "The colour here is actually an optical illusion," explains judge Eric Hilaire. "The scales themselves don't contain much pigment, it's the way light bounces off the curves which gives them their apparent colour." The scales belong to a Madagascan sunset moth - which sparkles with colour in the light and is often mistaken for a butterfly. This picture is 750 micrometres (0.75mm) wide. Inside the human eye Peter Maloca, University of Basel "Here we're looking inside blood vessels at the back of the human eye, which also supply the retina," says judge Robin Lovell-Badge of this 3D picture. "The blood itself is moving too fast to be visible creating this maze of tunnels that looks like a subterranean landscape. It draws your eye towards what appears to be a light at the end." Pictures like this are used by doctors to help spot early signs of eye disease. These tiny tunnels are about 100 micrometres (0.1mm) tall. Blood vessels in the eye Kim Baxter, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust "What's fascinating about this is that, when you see it, you don't automatically think of the eye," says judge Rob Kesseler. "It appears like an aerial view of a city at night or a telescopic image of a distant galaxy." The image was created by photographing the blood vessels in the retina - seen here as white spidery lines - as fluorescent dye was passed through. Detecting stroke Nicholas Evans, University of Cambridge "This demonstrates beautifully one of the deadliest two centimetres of pathology in human medicine and is an excellent tool to explain the causation of cerebrovascular accidents, or strokes, to patients," explains Dirk Pilat. This medical scan shows, in green, a blocked blood vessel inside the neck of a person. This vessel carries blood to the brain and when it gets blocked, parts of the brain can get damaged and stop working properly. Cow heart Michael Frank, Royal Veterinary College "This image is striking in its three dimensional sculptural appearance, especially when you know that the heart itself is actually a specimen in a jar," says Catherine Draycott. "Beautifully lit and photographed to bring to life an old historical specimen - highlighting both the external surface and internal structures." Windows have been cut into this cow's heart to show what is inside. It is about four times the size of a human heart. Engineering human liver tissue Chelsea Fortin, Kelly Stevens and Sangeeta Bhatia, Koch Institute, MIT This small piece of human liver has been put into a mouse with a damaged liver. The human liver has started to grow, with help from the mouse's blood. "It is tissue engineering in action," says Anne Deconinck from the Koch Institute. "In response to tissue damage, cells can reorganise and heal, and even develop much-needed blood vessels. "This image with the heart-shaped patch of engineered liver cells beautifully conveys a message of hope - and the promise of scientific advancements to overcome the challenges of replacement organ shortages and disease, including cirrhosis and liver cancer." This image appears as a result of the partnership between Wellcome Images and the Koch Institute at MIT, Cambridge, USA. Bacteria on graphene oxide Izzat Suffian, Kuo-Ching Mei, Houmam Kafa and Khuloud T Al-Jamal, King's College London "This image serves really well to illustrate the fact that graphene, a recently discovered material, is just one atom thick," says Catherine Draycott. "The details of the creases in the graphene contrast with the enormous torpedo shaped bacteria, which we know to be very small organisms." Graphene - seen here in purple - is an extremely thin sheet of carbon, and is one of the thinnest, strongest materials so far discovered. Researchers are trying to stick different medicines to it so they can be carried to the right place in the body when needed. The bacteria are about two micrometres (0.002mm) long. Premature baby receiving light therapy David Bishop, Royal Free Hospital, London This baby was born early and has jaundice, a common condition which turns the skin and eyes yellow. The baby is being treated in an incubator at Barnet Hospital in north London, and lies under a blue coloured light, with eyes covered. "One of the reasons this was picked is that it is intimate yet respectful - due to the framing and angle of the photograph," says Catherine Draycott. Clathrin cage Maria Voigt, RCSB Protein Data Bank "Clathrin is a protein found in cells, and here molecules of it have come together to form this cage like structure which helps move things around the cell," explains judge Eric Hilaire. "The illustration and its shading bring out the three dimensional nature of this structure." Cells can have lots of these tiny cages inside them. This cage measures about 50 nanometres (0.00005mm) across. When the cage is not being used it breaks up into smaller pieces, which get recycled. The cage can be put back together again when it's next needed. Toxoplasmosis-causing parasites Leandro Lemgruber, University of Glasgow "It looks quite blurry because of the extreme magnification of this tiny parasite which causes toxoplasmosis," says judge Robin Lovell-Badge. "This infinitesimally small organism, found in infected cat faeces and raw or undercooked meat, is particularly dangerous to pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems." Here, DNA inside each parasite (blue/green) is surrounded by membrane (red) and protein (black). This image was created using a type of super-resolution microscopy. Each parasite measures 10 micrometres (0.01mm) long. Bone development Frank Acquaah "Here modern technology is used on historical remains," says Catherine Draycott. "The images are made with micro-computed tomography - penetrating wave scans - which show how the internal structure of the bone evolves as a baby develops in the womb and after birth." Each circle shows bone from an infant at a different age. The youngest (three months before birth) is on the left and the oldest (2.5 years old) is on the right. These historical bones all come from the skeletons of children who died in the 19th Century. Maize leaves Fernan Federici, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and University of Cambridge "This image evokes the work of Gustav Klimt with its beautiful, gilded mosaic look," says Anne Deconinck from the Koch Institute. This is a confocal micrograph looking inside a cluster of leaves from a young maize (corn) plant. Each curled leaf is made up of lots of small cells (small green square and rectangle shapes) - and inside each cell is a nucleus (orange circle), the part of the cell which stores genetic information. The overall winner of the Wellcome Image Awards will be announced on the evening of Tuesday 15 March 2016 at the Science Museum in London - where all the images will be on display until Sunday 19 June 2016.

Summarize the following article: It was also hit by a fall in revenue from trading and investment banking. Net profit fell to $5.52bn (£3.87bn) in the three months to the end of March from $5.91bn a year earlier. The bank's provisions for loan losses nearly doubled to $1.8bn in the first quarter, from $959m in the same quarter last year. US shale oil companies have come under increasing pressure in the past year as the price of oil has plummeted. That has forced banks to raise the money they set aside to cover the possible failure of energy firms. In February, JP Morgan said it would set aside an additional $500m (£357m) to cover potential losses from its exposure to the oil and gas sector. The bank has now set aside a further $713m to cover potential losses from oil and gas and commodities firms. Of that total, $529m covers loans to oil and gas firms and $162m is allocated for loans to metals and mining firms. The bank said total revenue fell 3% to $24.08bn. Other factors are also hurting the banking industry including the low interest rate environment, and a slowdown in global growth, particularly in emerging markets. Banks also say that the rising cost of regulation and requirements to hold more funds in reserve are hampering profit growth. Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan's chairman and chief executive, admitted "challenging markets" had "impacted the industry". "We maintained our leadership positions and market share in the corporate and investment bank and asset management, reflecting the strength of our platform. Even in a challenging environment, clients continue to turn to us in the global markets and we saw positive net long-term asset flows in asset management, " he added. JP Morgan is the first US bank to report quarterly results. Bank of America and Wells Fargo, the second and third-largest US banks after JP Morgan, report on Thursday.

JP Morgan Chase has reported a 6.7% drop in quarterly profits as it set aside more funds to cover potential losses at oil and gas companies.

Summarize the following article: The former Chelsea midfielder appeared 106 times for England, scoring an impressive 29 goals. He played his final England game as captain in the 0-0 draw against Costa Rica at the World Cup in June, but unfortunately couldn't help them progress in the tournament. It is believed that his recent move to the MLS in the United States has played a part in his decision. Lampard has returned to England for a loan spell at reigning champions Manchester City, but will make his permanent move to New York City FC when the MLS season starts up. "It has been a very tough decision for me to make," Frank said. "I have always been exceptionally proud and honoured to represent my country and have to say looking back I have enjoyed every minute of wearing the England shirt." The news follows the recent retirement from England duty of Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard.

Frank Lampard today announced he's retiring from international football.

Summarize the following article: The lower capacity battery charged by 68% in two minutes - but is not big enough to run a smartphone for long. The higher capacity one charged by 48% in five minutes and could provide up to 10 hours of talk time, the firm said. Current battery life is a significant limiting factor in the performance of portable devices. Many tech firms and entrepreneurs are researching the issue. In March, Samsung announced that the batteries in its new Galaxy S6 handsets could power up to four hours of usage after a 10-minute charge. Israeli start-up Storedot unveiled a fast-charging device at the beginning of the year which it hopes will eventually be able to charge any smartphone battery in under one minute. Scientists are also researching alternative battery materials to the traditional lithium-ion such as aluminium and graphene. Huawei says it used heteroatoms - atoms which are not carbon or hydrogen - which the firm claims can increase charging speeds without affecting the battery's overall lifespan. "Everyone in the world - consumers and all the manufacturers - would benefit from some unforeseen breakthrough in battery chemistry technology," Motorola president Rick Osterloh told the BBC in July. "At the moment everyone is getting interesting incremental benefits from changes in lithium-ion batteries but fundamentally there hasn't been a Moore's Law type curve for battery improvements and I think that would be something everyone would benefit [from]." Moore's Law, which became the bedrock for the computer processor industry, relates to the rate at which processor speeds increase - roughly doubling every two years.

Chinese tech giant Huawei has unveiled two prototype removable lithium-ion batteries that can recharge in minutes, using a bespoke charger.

Summarize the following article: The Irish fighter became the Ultimate Fighting Championship's first dual division champion in November. McGregor, 28, has said he wants $100m (£80m) to meet Mayweather, who has played down the prospects of a fight. The licence has been granted by the California State Athletic Commission, allowing him to box in the US state. McGregor's trainer John Kavanagh has said he would "put a few quid" on a bout with the retired Mayweather, 39, taking place next year. He added: "Is it getting any closer? I don't know, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me that it's going to happen." Leonard Ellerbe, chief executive of Mayweather Promotions, told ESPN the fight could not take place as McGregor is under contract to the UFC. "He got a boxing licence. Congratulations to him," said Ellerbe. "Conor McGregor can say anything he wants to, but he has a boss and his name is [UFC president] Dana White." McGregor beat Eddie Alvarez last month to win to win the lightweight championship, to add his featherweight title, though he has since relinquished that belt. After the Alvarez victory, McGregor demanded a stake in the ownership of UFC. BBC Sport boxing pundit Steve Bunce In a boxing ring with 10 ounce boxing gloves and no head guards, Conor McGregor would not touch Floyd Mayweather. In fact, I think he would struggle to touch a thousand of the 2,186 registered welterweights registered in the world. When you see him try to box, his feet are terrible - that is mark one against him. He lifts his chin up in the air when he throws a punch - that is mark two. And when he gets hit with a punch he turns his head - that is mark three. Just because he is the most marketable, most sellable and most entertaining fighter in the UFC business does not mean he can hold his hands up and survive with any of the boxers out there.

UFC champion Conor McGregor moved closer to a possible fight with five-weight world champion Floyd Mayweather by securing a boxing licence.

Summarize the following article: The ad showed Willis complaining about the speed of his current provider, with a character telling him to "try Sky Broadband, it's totally unlimited". A voice-over then said the service was £7.50 a month, however on-screen text stated the deal was only for existing Sky TV customers. The Advertising Standards Authority said the ad was not sufficiently clear. Earlier in the advert, on-screen text stated consumers needed to purchase Sky Talk, calls and line rental - costing £14.50 a month - to obtain Sky's broadband service, while Sky TV prices started at £21.50 per month. One viewer complained to the advertising watchdog, saying the commercial did not make clear the extent of the commitment customers had to make in order to receive the service advertised for £7.50. Sky said it believed it had made its pricing clear and the average consumer would understand from the on-screen small print it was necessary to commit to its line rental and be a Sky customer. However, it admitted it was not a requirement to be a Sky TV customer to receive the broadband package, which non-subscribers could obtain for £10 a month. The ASA said as the advert was "clearly not directed at existing Sky customers", line rental and Sky TV would have been relevant charges to those interested in subscribing to the broadband service and it was therefore important for the information to have been stated prominently. It said the small print at the bottom of the screen "would by its nature be significantly less prominent than a claim made in a voice-over, and was therefore not an appropriate method of communicating material information relating to the £7.50 price claim". The watchdog added the cost associated with the TV element of the package was presented even less clearly, having disappeared from the screen 15 seconds before the voice-over. The ASA ruled the advert must not appear in its current form again.

A TV advert for Sky broadband featuring Die Hard star Bruce Willis has been banned for being misleading.

Summarize the following article: Saints were already out of contention, while the visitors needed two wins from their final two games to keep alive their chance of progressing. Castres fought back from 13 points down to level in the second half. But Tom Wood's try, adding to scores from Teimana Harrison and Stephen Myler, handed Northampton the win. Leinster became the first team to qualify for the last eight of the competition on Friday, and will progress as Pool Four winners. The visitors fell behind after only two minutes when Harrison crashed over from close range and Myler converted from the tee. Rory Kockott landed a penalty for Castres, before they lost Jody Jenneker to the sin bin for a maul infringement, but the French side took the lead for the first time thanks to Alexandre Bias' unconverted try in the corner. Saints regained the lead through Myler's score and Harrison's second to go in 21-8 ahead at the break. In a dominant second-half performance, full-back Julien Dumora seized on a gap in the Northampton defence to cross for Castres, and Kockott landed a conversion and two penalties to make it 21-21. A Myler drop-goal attempt then came off the posts, before Wood went over from a driving maul to earn Saints the bonus point and extend their unbeaten record to five games in all competitions. Northampton Saints: Ben Foden; Juan Pablo Estelles, Luther Burrell, Harry Mallinder, George North; Stephen Myler, Nic Groom; Alex Waller, Mikey Haywood, Kieran Brookes; Courtney Lawes, Christian Day; Tom Wood (capt), Jamie Gibson, Teimana Harrison. Replacements: Charlie Clare, Ethan Waller, Paul Hill, James Craig, Ben Nutley, Lee Dickson, JJ Hanrahan, Ahsee Tuala. Castres Olympique: Geoffrey Palis; Horacio Agulla, Afusipa Taumoepeau, Robert Ebersohn, David Smith; Julien Dumora, Rory Kockott (capt); Mihaita Lazar, Jody Jenneker, Damien Tussac, Loic Jacquet, Victor Moreaux, Yannick Caballero, Alexandre Bias, Maama Vaipulu. Replacements: Brice Mach, Antoine Tichit, Daniel Kotze, Rodrigo Capo Ortega, Antoine Dupont, Benjamin Urdapilleta, Steve Mafi, Thomas Combezou.

Northampton earned a bonus-point win over Castres to end the French side's hopes of a place in the European Champions Cup quarter-finals.

Summarize the following article: Various schemes to redevelop the Tropicana outdoor pool and leisure facility have failed since it closed in 2000 due to falling visitor numbers. North Somerset Council unanimously voted through proposals to get the building "back up and into use". Councillor Tony Lake said work would start within "weeks if not days". The proposals for the Tropicana will allow the building to be used for a variety of leisure activities and events throughout the year. Money for the redevelopment will come from an existing budget of £748,000 set aside for the site which was approved by members in 2011. The work will include roof repairs, rewiring, heating, mending of the external fabric and overall light refurbishment works. Mr Lake said the council also hope to see the pool redeveloped in the longer term, subject to a viable business plan coming forward. There has been a pool on the seafront in Weston since the 1930s. As late as the 1980s, families thronged to the Tropicana to experience its state-of-the-art wave machine.

A building on Weston-super-Mare's seafront is to undergo a £750,000 refurbishment after lying derelict for 14 years.

Summarize the following article: The 50-year-old victim was walking in Captain's Road in Edinburgh at 00:15 when he was hit on the back of the head by an unknown object. He fell to the ground and lost consciousness before waking to find his wallet was gone. Officers believe the same man may have been responsible for an attempted robbery a short time earlier. Paramedics were called to the scene of the second attack and helped the victim, who had suffered serious head injuries. He was then taken to the city's Royal Infirmary, where he remained in a stable condition on Saturday afternoon. Police said there was a "strong possibility" that the same suspect was also responsible for an attempted robbery at about 23:30 on Friday night - 45 minutes before the Captain's Road attack. In that incident, a 17-year-old male was walking home on Gracemount Drive when a man approached him with a red metallic baseball bat and demanded that he hand over money. The teenager managed to run away without handing over any money or any of his property. The description given to police in both incidents was very similar, and officers said they were keen to hear from anyone who was in the area who noticed any unusual behaviour. The male suspect was described as having a mixed race appearance, in his early 20s, about 5ft 6in tall with a very thin build. He spoke with a Scottish accent and had curly stubble on his neck but not his face. He was wearing light grey jogging bottoms, a hooded top with the hood up and carrying a red metallic baseball bat that measured around 2ft in length and had dark/purplish marks near its handle. Det Con Alastair Paisley said: "Given the close proximity of these incidents and the time of night they happened, we believe there is a strong possibility that these attacks were carried out by the same perpetrator. "As part of our ongoing investigation officers are currently reviewing local CCTV and carrying out door-to-door enquires "We also have a detailed description of the male which, of course, includes a very distinctive baseball bat".

Police are hunting a robber who knocked his victim unconscious before stealing his wallet.

Summarize the following article: The World Cup winning German legend had been asked to help with a Fifa ethics investigation led by lawyer Michael Garcia. Beckenbauer, 68, was part of the Fifa executive committee that voted to give the tournament to Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022. He has been banned for 90 days. Beckenbauer captained West Germany to victory as hosts at the 1974 World Cup, and was coach when they next lifted the trophy in Italy 16 years later. He then managed at Olympique Marseille and Bayern Munich, where he is now honorary president. "Franz Beckenbauer had been asked by Fifa's ethics prosecutor Michael Garcia to meet him and help answer some of the lawyer's questions. The BBC understands Beckenbauer twice refused to meet Garcia because he felt Garcia had no power to make him comply - as Beckenbauer was no longer actively involved in football. "Beckenbauer is on the Fifa committee looking into the future of the game and is honorary president and global ambassador at Bayern Munich. Fifa executives, including vice-president Jim Boyce, had called for those who refused to co-operate with the investigation to be 'named and shamed'." Fifa said Beckenbauer ignored "repeated requests" to assist with an independent investigation into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments. No details have been given on what Garcia wanted to speak to Beckenbauer about. Garcia's remit includes looking into allegations that Qatari football official Mohamed bin Hammam made payments totalling £3m to football officials in return for their support for the Qatar bid - as set out in a Sunday Times investigation. But Beckenbauer said: "I politely requested a meeting in which we could talk about the matter in German. That was apparently not desired. That aside, I wouldn't be able to contribute anything to clear up the matter anyway." World football's governing body said Beckenbauer was asked to supply answers to written questions provided in both English and German. In a statement, Fifa said: "The apparent breach relates to Mr Beckenbauer's failure to co-operate with an ethics committee investigation despite repeated requests for his assistance. "The case is now the subject of formal investigation proceedings being conducted by investigatory chamber member Vanessa Allard as chief of the investigation." Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce said: "This very much shows once again how the Fifa reform process is working. The independent ethics committee are doing a good job and should have the full support of everybody." Garcia says he now has "almost all" of the documents referred to by the Sunday Times report. On Friday, Beckenbauer told German television: "I am the Bayern Munich honorary president. Even if I cannot do this for 90 days it is something the honorary president can survive."

Franz Beckenbauer has been provisionally banned from all footballing activities by Fifa - for "failing to co-operate" with its inquiry into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding process.

Summarize the following article: The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said it had brought the charges against Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust. It said there were four allegations of health and safety breaches relating to patients who died between October 2005 and May last year. The trust is due to appear before Stafford Magistrates on 4 November. A new trust began to run the hospital on 1 November 2014. The HSE said the charges related to the deaths of: Wayne Owen, of the HSE, said it had decided there was "sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to bring criminal proceedings in this case". The trust, which remains in place as a legal entity but no longer provides patient services, was dissolved last November after a report concluded it was not "clinically or financially sustainable". It is due to appear before Stafford Magistrates' Court on 4 November. University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust took over the running of Stafford Hospital, now named the County Hospital, and Royal Stoke University Hospital. Mid-Staffs Trust special administrator Tim Rideout said the remaining "shell organisation" would oversee any "potential criminal liabilities". "I am committed to bringing matters to a conclusion as efficiently and effectively as possible in the best interests of the families concerned," he said.

The trust which ran Stafford Hospital is to face criminal charges in connection with the deaths of four patients, the BBC has learned.

Summarize the following article: The government believes a £485m pension deficit has been deterring potential buyers of Tata Steel's UK business, putting 10,000 jobs at risk. It outlined a series of proposals to alter the terms of the pension scheme. Now, the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) has warned that such plans held big risks for other pension savers. It said that the plans risked setting a precedent that would lead to other employers and industries attempting to dilute their pension promises. Were the plans to be given the go-ahead but then fail, then this could lead to a big hit for the PPF itself. A consultation on the British Steel Pension Scheme's future has been launched by ministers. It includes a "full range of options" such as "whether it will be necessary to reduce the benefits within the scheme", according to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). One option is to base the scheme's annual increase on the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation measure, which is usually below the Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure currently used. Others include separating the scheme from the employer or transferring savers and pensioners to a new scheme altogether. The plan has been supported by some union leaders and the British Steel Pension scheme. However, it has been criticised by the former pensions minister, Steve Webb, who said that "rushed changes to pension rules risk driving a coach and horses through the pension security of hundreds of thousands of workers well beyond the steel industry". Mr Webb's argument has, in part, been echoed by the PPF. In its response to the consultation, the PPF said: "There is a risk of setting a precedent. Although the government has been at pains to stress the unique circumstances surrounding the British Steel Pension Scheme, we would nevertheless expect other employers or industries to seek similar arrangements to reduce their pension scheme liabilities - effectively transferring value from scheme members to shareholders." It said that, for thousands of pensioners themselves, there would be little difference between the amount of pension they would receive under the revised terms that have been proposed and the amount they would receive if the PPF took on the liabilities. It also raised concerns about one idea of allowing the pension scheme to continue, but with only a "shell" company behind it. In other words, there would be no backstop to deal with any growing deficit in the scheme. "With no genuine employer to act as a buffer and provide additional contributions when needed, the risk of the scheme's investment strategy failing would either fall on the scheme members or - if it was decided to maintain PPF eligibility - be directly underwritten by the PPF," it said. It suggested that even if there were a "low risk investment strategy" there was a possibility that the burden would eventually fall on the PPF. This could hit the PPF's own level of funding which is in place to protect pensioners with defined benefit workplace pensions if any employer goes under. One solution according to the PPF, if this government plan went ahead, would be to remove the safety net that the PPF provides. Under these circumstances, the British Steel Pension Scheme would no longer pay the regular levy to the PPF, and the PPF would not cover the cost of compensation payments to pensioners if, at some point in the future, the pension scheme's trustees decided its assets could not cover pension payments. Tata is still considering bids for its UK steel business, with a shortlist expected soon.

The lifeboat scheme that protects pensions when a company fails has raised concerns over a government plan for steel workers' pensions.

Summarize the following article: In 2013-14, 344,000 people received a diagnosis - up from 213,000 in 2006-07, when statistics were first collected. The provisional figures also suggest an 8% rise in the number of recorded dementia cases since 2012-13. The rise could be due to a number of factors, including an ageing population and improved diagnosis, the Health and Social Care Information Centre said. Half of people living with dementia were still not registered as having the condition, said George Mcnamara, of the Alzheimer's Society. "With an ageing population and more people developing the condition, diagnosing dementia must remain a priority," he added. Hilary Evans, of Alzheimer's Research UK, said the figures gave some idea of the scale of the challenge in England. "This report does not set out to investigate the reasons for the rising figures, but it's likely that recent moves to improve dementia diagnosis rates, along with an ageing population, will have contributed to this increase," she said. The Health and Social Care Information Centre said the data would be used in planning services. "We are all aware of the challenges facing our ageing population, and these figures will be vital for those planning and monitoring the effectiveness of dementia treatments and services," said chairman Kingsley Manning.

The number of people in England diagnosed with dementia has risen by 62% over seven years.

Summarize the following article: Tourist business consortium Visit Isle of Wight (VIOW) has agreed to run the two-week Isle of Wight Walking Festival after the island's council scrapped its events team earlier this year. The rebranded IsleWalk17 will take place from 13 April to 15 May. Visit Isle of Wight said its evaluation showed the festival brings more than £250,000 into the island's economy. The festival was first staged in 1999 and the 2016 event featured 250 themed walks at various venues on the island. It was due to be discontinued after Isle of Wight Council said it could no longer be resourced due to "difficult financial challenges" faced by the local authority. VIOW chief executive David Thornton said it was an event he "wouldn't want to lose". He said: "Not only does it bring several thousand people over to the island, it also communicates to the rest of the UK and beyond that the Isle of Wight is a great place to come walking." He added VIOW would spend £10,000 on the event. As well as the spring event, a New Year walking-themed weekend called "Fresh Start" is being staged in January.

A popular walking festival which was cancelled amid council cuts will continue, new organisers have said.

Summarize the following article: Jordan Withers, nephew of Glenn Thomas - who was one of the 10 Britons on board flight MH17 - said the bodies of victims had been treated "inhumanely". Some 298 people died after the airline crashed in eastern Ukraine last week. PM David Cameron is to use a statement to MPs to press for tougher sanctions against Russia over its response. Pro-Russia separatists, who retain control of the crash site in east Ukraine, have been blamed for downing the jet - reportedly with a missile - on 17 July. Russia has been accused of providing the rebels with the anti-aircraft system allegedly used in the incident, allegations the Kremlin denies. On Sunday, the remains of up to 196 plane victims were loaded on to refrigerated rail wagons in Torez, some 15km (9 miles) away from the crash site. A second train arrived there later to take more bodies on board. Three Dutch investigators have now examined the bodies being held in Torez, with the team's leader, Peter Van Leit, saying storage was "of good quality". But Mr Withers told the BBC victims' bodies had been loaded on to trains "like cargo". His uncle, Glenn Thomas, was a World Health Organisation (WHO) media relations coordinator and former BBC journalist, who was travelling to Australia for an international Aids conference when he died in the crash. "We just want our uncle back... because that is when we can start the grieving process and we can give him the send-off he deserves," Mr Withers said. Barry Sweeney, the father of Liam Sweeney, who also died in the crash, told the BBC: "Somebody asked me what would I say to Mr Putin. I said 'do now - talk later - let our relatives... come home and then sort it out later'. "I'm not going to be political, I'm not going to blame anybody because they are all as bad as each other in their different ways - the Americans, I'm not even blaming the Russians - I'm just thinking we've got to get it right." Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has said the forthcoming season will be dedicated to Liam Sweeney and fellow fan, John Alder, who also died in the crash. Hugo Hoare, whose brother Andrew died in the crash, told the Telegraph he hoped the treatment of the bodies was "humane", but added: "The first thing I thought was what if they are going to use them as a bargaining chip?" Mr Hoare, 59, a banker, died along with his Dutch wife and their two children. The last of the 10 Britons who died were named over the weekend. They included 44-year-old drilling technician Stephen Anderson and law firm partner John Allen, 44, who died alongside his wife and three sons. Meanwhile, UK air crash investigators have started work after arriving in the Ukrainian capital Kiev. The UK Department for Transport said the six-strong team, from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch, was providing "expert technical assistance", although it is not known whether they will gain access to the crash site. Two Metropolitan Police officers are also in Ukraine as part of the UK's disaster victim identification team. Mr Cameron told Mr Putin in a "frank" phone call on Sunday that the delay in allowing experts access to the crash site was "completely unacceptable and indefensible". Monitors from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) have now visited the accident site, but their access to wreckage has been limited by the separatists. Moscow has been accused of not doing enough to pressure them to permit full international access. Mr Putin has said in a statement on Russian television it was essential to give international experts security to conduct an investigation. Mr Cameron, who is due to address the Commons, has backed a new UN resolution to guarantee "unfettered access" to the crash site. The UN Security Council will vote on the proposed resolution later on Monday. The PM is also due to chair a meeting of the National Security Council, where the issue will be discussed. And the UK is set to push for increased sanctions against Russia at a meeting of EU foreign ministers on Tuesday. The BBC's political correspondent Vicki Young said there was a "great deal of diplomatic activity" going on at all levels ahead of the expected vote. A Downing Street spokesman said the pressure on Mr Putin "would be kept up and stepped up". Mr Cameron has made it clear he will press for more Russian individuals to be listed for travel bans and asset freezes. And he is seeking further potential bans on companies and banks that are seen to facilitate the continuing conflict in Ukraine, our correspondent said. However, BBC political correspondent Gary O'Donoghue said Downing Street was frustrated at the lack of appetite among other EU countries for expanding existing sanctions. Speaking at a press conference in Whitehall, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the time had come "for sanctions to be tightened further". Chancellor George Osborne said fresh sanctions could harm the UK's economy - but warned that not acting could be "much worse". Ukraine and the pro-Russian separatists have accused each other of downing the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, which had been travelling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. However, a spokesman for Mr Cameron said the PM had told the Russian leader that "the evidence suggested that pro-Russian separatists were responsible". US Secretary of State John Kerry said there was overwhelming evidence of Russian complicity in the downing of the plane.

Relatives of passengers killed in the Malaysia Airlines plane crash have called for the bodies of their loved ones to be returned home.

Summarize the following article: The supermarket giant had expected to see a sales rise of 1% to 1.5% in this financial year. But despite seeing record transactions in the run-up to Christmas, it now expects growth of "just under 1%". Although Sainsbury's reported a 36th consecutive quarter of like-for-like sales growth, its shares fell 2%. In the 14 weeks to 4 January, the firm's like-for-like sales, stripping out the effect of new stores, rose 0.2% excluding fuel. Sainsbury's said the seven days before Christmas were the firm's "busiest ever" trading week, with more than 28 million transactions. It described the third-quarter figures as a "good sales performance in a tough market". Rival chains Waitrose and the Co-op also reported rises in sales over the Christmas period. Late last year, Sainsbury's overtook Asda and moved into the number two spot for the largest supermarket in the UK, second to Tesco. Chief executive Justin King told the BBC that trading conditions had been "tough and challenging" and there had been an expectation that the firm's sales might have fallen. However, while October and November had been difficult, the performance over Christmas had resulted in "a small amount of growth for the quarter, taken as a whole". "We've beaten our competition," he added. Sainsbury's also reported healthy growth in sales of its own-brand Taste the Difference range, which saw a rise in sales of more than 10%. By Robert PestonBusiness editor Other successful sectors included Sainsbury's convenience stores, which grew nearly 18%, and online shopping, which notched up more than 10% growth. BBC business editor Robert Peston described the sales growth of 0.2% as "a bump in the road after an extraordinary 35 quarters of unbroken growth", but "not one such that [Mr] King is likely to feel desperately uncomfortable". Joseph Robinson, lead consultant at retail analysts Conlumino, said that Sainsbury's "continues to outperform its main peers". However, he said the low growth was "reflective of a market where even the outperforming mainstream players are having to sprint just to standstill, amid growing threats at both ends of the value spectrum". At the same time, rival Waitrose reported strong sales in the run-up to Christmas. On a like-for-like measure, sales for the five-week period to Christmas Eve rose 3.1% compared with 2012. Waitrose said it was a record Christmas period, with a 4.1% rise in sales for the 12 days ending 31 December. Like other retailers, Waitrose has reported a huge increase in online sales, which were up by more than a third compared with 2012. Waitrose managing director, Mark Price, said: "Every year retailers say that Christmas is late, but with some justification in 2013, as customers phased their shopping in line with the mid-week fall of the main festivities." The BBC's Steph McGovern said "squeezed-middle" Sainsbury's was seeing its market under pressure both from high-end Waitrose and from discounters Aldi and Lidl. She said Aldi and Lidl were the "clear winners" of the Christmas period: "They've done brilliantly with double-digit growth." On Tuesday, the two German-owned firms both said they had seen their best Christmas in the UK to date, although they did not release sales figures. The Co-op also reported rising sales in its food business over the festive season, "driven by the success of the strategy to strengthen its core convenience offer". In the 13 weeks to 4 January, its like-for-like sales grew by 1% compared with the same period a year earlier. However, total food sales were flat over the whole quarter as the Co-op disposed of some larger stores. So far, Debenhams has been the big disappointment in the Christmas trading updates from UK retailers. It warned of a sharp drop in profits due to heavy discounting.

Sainsbury's has cut its full-year sales forecast after warning that customers are likely to "spend cautiously" in the first few months of 2014.

Summarize the following article: The BBC understands Ofsted's findings were so damning that the acting head of Al-Madinah, in Derby, had little choice but to shut it down immediately. The school said the move was due to a "health and safety issue" but expected it to reopen in the "very near future". Ofsted said it could not disclose its concerns until the inspection ended. It added it had "made some findings and shared them with the principal". The second day of the inspection is taking place later. In a statement on the school's website titled "short term closure", interim principal Stuart Wilson said: "Owing to a health and safety issue, I have taken the decision to close the school... until I am confident that all children are safe on site. Free schools are "free" in as much as they are not bound or funded by local authorities. Instead, they receive their funds directly from central government and have increased autonomy over the curriculum they follow, teachers' pay and conditions and the length of school terms and days. However, they are not free to do whatever they wish and must follow statutory and recommended procedures, much like any other maintained school. For example, all schools must have a child protection policy and all teachers and other adults who have contact with pupils must have an enhanced criminal records check. Free schools are inspected by watchdog Ofsted and have a duty to enter pupils for public exams such as national curriculum tests (Sats) and GCSEs; they are held to account by pupils' results, again as maintained school are. In terms of admissions, free schools cannot select by ability, but can select up to 10% of pupils on aptitude for a specialism such as sport or art. Faith-based free schools must admit at least 50% of pupils "without reference to faith" when the school is oversubscribed. "As parents, you will be informed directly, and on the website, when you are able to send your children back to school... "Assuring you that we have your children's best interests at heart." In a series of newspaper reports unnamed former staff members of Al-Madinah, which opened as a free school in September last year, had alleged that girls were forced to sit at the back of the classroom. Unnamed female staff members have also claimed they were forced to conform to a strict dress code including wearing a head scarf or hijab - whether or not they were Muslim. When it opened Al-Madinah claimed to be the first Muslim ethos, all-through [reception, primary and secondary] free school in the country. The school's first head teacher, Andrew Cutts-Mckay, left the school after less than a year in the job. Last week, the interim principal told the BBC that he had not received any complaints from colleagues regarding the dress code and that pupils were not being segregated, with girls and boys being treated equally. Ofsted is not the only organisation with concerns about Al-Madinah. The Education Funding Agency - from which the school gets its public funding - is investigating alleged financial irregularities. In a statement, the Department for Education said it was already investigating the school before the allegations became public. It said: ''We discussed the problems with Ofsted and it launched an immediate inspection. We are waiting for Ofsted's final report and considering all legal options." The school's closure is likely to be embarrassing for Education Secretary Michael Gove, who introduced free schools in 2010 in an effort to raise standards in education. Free schools are state funded but operate outside local education authority control and can be set up by parents and community groups in England.

A Muslim free school accused of imposing strict Islamic practices, such as segregated classrooms, has closed following an inspection by Ofsted.

Summarize the following article: Media playback is not supported on this device Skipper Morgan made 107 from 93 deliveries and Moeen Ali an unbeaten 77 from 51 to get the home side to 339-6. South Africa were well placed at 145-1, but were bowled out for 267 with Chris Woakes taking 4-38. England will seal the three-match series with victory at Southampton on Saturday (11:00 BST). After routine victories over Ireland, world number ones South Africa present much sterner opposition for England in the build-up to the Champions Trophy, which begins on 1 June. With IPL trio Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Woakes back in the side - and the in-form Jonny Bairstow omitted as expected - England's powerful batting took full advantage of being put in on a flat surface under glorious sunshine. Though they wobbled after a strong start, Morgan and man-of-the-match Moeen took England to the highest ODI total at Headingley and their 20th in excess of 300 since the 2015 World Cup. For a time, their attack looked vulnerable - improvement is likely to be needed in the Champions Trophy - but a series of poor South African strokes helped England's cause. Media playback is not supported on this device England were also guilty of some recklessness. Alex Hales and Joe Root both fell to Andile Phehlukwayo when well set, before Stokes and Buttler went in the space of 10 balls to leave the hosts 198-5 in the 35th over. The wristy Morgan, with flays through the off side and power on the leg, had already passed 50, but Moeen looked uncomfortable against the short ball. However, after Morgan heaved Phehlukwayo over the mid-wicket fence, England charged. Moeen launched leg-spinner Imran Tahir for three sixes in an over to bring up a 35-ball half-century and Morgan reached his 10th ODI century for England with his fifth maximum. Though Morgan was held at long-off from the impressive pace bowling of Chris Morris, Moeen hit the same bowler for six from the last delivery of the innings to make a total of 102 runs from the final 10 overs. Media playback is not supported on this device There is a suspicion that England's bowling does not match the strength of their batting in ODIs. Indeed, while England have scored more runs per over than any other side since the 2015 World Cup, they have also conceded more than all but Sri Lanka. Here, Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis looked set to exploit the England attack, not missing an opportunity to punish anything marginally short or wide. They shared a stand of 112 until Mark Wood, otherwise expensive, returned to trap Amla lbw on review and, in the next over, Liam Plunkett had Du Plessis caught behind. JP Duminy and David Miller both hit poor deliveries straight to the fielder on the leg-side boundary and Morris was caught reverse sweeping, but South Africa remained dangerous so long as AB de Villiers was at the crease. The Proteas skipper, the number one ODI batsman in the world, had just begun to open his shoulders when he lofted Moeen to Plunkett at deep mid-wicket. As he departed, so too did South Africa's hopes, with a bad day for the tourists capped by a fine for a slow over-rate. De Villiers lost 20% of his match fee and the rest of the team 10%. England captain Eoin Morgan on TMS: "It was a pretty good day at the office for us. Playing against a strong South Africa team and putting in an all-round performance was brilliant. "I have felt good for a while. I didn't play as much in the IPL as I would have liked but I got a few runs in the Ireland game and to continue that here is a good feeling. "If Moeen Ali didn't get any runs and had a bad day, I'd probably pick him again. I have that much confidence in the guy. He's made some huge contributions for us over the last couple of years and beyond that." Man of the match Moeen Ali on TMS: "To get us to 339 in the end, I was very pleased with that. We finished well with the momentum. We bat all the way down so I gave myself a bit of a chance. I backed my game a bit more today - in the past sometimes I've not done that. "I've not been batting or bowling well recently. Paul Farbrace gave me a few tips with my batting and that really helped me today." South Africa captain AB de Villiers: "England played phenomenally well with the bat in hand. Morgan really dominated with the hundred and manipulated us really well. "We didn't bat well enough, we definitely should have come a lot closer. We just didn't get partnerships going tonight." Former England batter Ebony Rainford-Brent on TMS: "England have still got a lot of room for improvement but I'm very impressed with how they've approached today. Eoin Morgan has the awareness of the game and the gaps. He'll have a gameplan within seconds, and he'll free his arms. He's in fine form leading in to that Champions Trophy."

A brilliant Eoin Morgan century led England to a 72-run victory over South Africa in the first one-day international at Headingley.

Summarize the following article: Wightlink began operating larger cross-Solent ferries from its new Lymington terminal in 2009. The Lymington River Association (LRA) claimed it was harming wildlife habitats. At a hearing at the Court of Appeal, Lord Justice Sullivan refused it permission to appeal further. The campaigners had attempted to appeal over a 2011 planning inquiry decision about Wightlink's project to operate larger W-class ships between Lymington and Yarmouth, which had commenced two years earlier. Wightlink had been allowed to continue running larger ships on Lymington River after promising to "offset" the environmental impact. Opponents mounted legal action, claiming the ships were creating a bigger wash and were harming habitats in the Lymington River. But following a public inquiry, the planning inspector agreed that a plan to dredge material from the river to replenish marshland was sufficient. New Forest's district council and national park authority withdrew their objections to the scheme after it was revealed Natural England had agreed to the plans to replenish the marsh. The ferry company said the legal action had cost it £3.5m in five years. John Burrows, chief operating officer, said: "While we recognise the rights of individuals to challenge developments on environmental grounds, we believe this case has gone too far. "It seems to us to be quite wrong that a small group of individuals should be able to impose such a costly legal burden on the UK taxpayer and on our company." Stephen Akester, of the Lymington River Association, said the decision was "very disappointing". He said the objections were mounted by "responsible citizens seeking the truth and conservation of the marshes which protect and form an essential part of the character of Lymington".

Campaigners have been refused permission to continue court action against a ferry terminal on the Hampshire coastline.

Summarize the following article: Armed officers were sent to a store in Blackheath, in the West Midlands, at about 12:10 BST and cordoned off the scene as a helicopter hovered above. Officers searched the area and a man was detained. Police do not believe the incident is terror related. The supermarket was evacuated and several roads closed with drivers urged to avoid the area. No injuries have been reported, West Midlands police said. Ch Insp Paul Minor said: "The store remains closed while we examine the scene and assess the cause of the fire... we do not believe this to be related to any terror threat." Halesowen Street, John Street and Union Street were closed. In a statement, Sainsbury's said: "We can confirm there was an incident at our Blackheath store, which is currently closed. "Thankfully no colleagues or customers were harmed and the matter is now being investigated by West Midlands Police." The UK terrorism threat level was reduced from critical to severe earlier, five days after the Manchester Arena attack on Monday, but increased security remains in place at events around the country. A huge police operation is under way in Birmingham while the city's annual two-day Pride festival takes places.

A man carrying a knife was seen running from a Sainsbury's store after a fire was started in the toilet, police said.

Summarize the following article: Food Standards Scotland (FSS) has found that 400 billion calories worth of food was purchased by Scots households in 2014/15, the equivalent of just over 2,000 calories per person, per day. The report also discovered that there was 115g of sugar in the food the average Scot purchased daily last year - well above the World Health Organisation's recommended intake of 25g a day. However, its statistics should be treated with some caution. The report relates to how many calories are purchased, rather than consumed and takeaways, restaurant meals and working lunches are also excluded. Soft drinks, biscuits, confectionary, table sugar, cakes and pastries contained more than 45% of the sugar purchased by Scots last year. Although fruit topped the list of "total sugar purchases" in Scotland in 2014/15, many less health foods made it into Food Standards Scotland's top 10 list. The amount of regular soft drinks bought by households in Scotland dropped by 21% in 2014/15 - but sales of diet drinks remained static. A total of 173 million litres of drinks with added sugar were sold to Scots homes last year. About one billion individual servings of cakes and pastries are purchased by Scottish households annually. However the FSS has found that the amount of sugar and fats found in the products has risen steadily since 2011. The numbers of puddings and desserts bought into homes in Scotland has dropped by 7% since 2010. Despite that, the amount of fat the Scottish population receives from puddings and desserts has remained static and sugar levels have increased. FSS researchers believe their evidence suggests that products have changed their recipes to include more sugar or fat products. The volume of pies and pastries purchased in Scotland dropped by almost 17% since 2010; sausage sales fell by 8%. It has led to a drop in the amount of saturated fat and salt people in Scotland have derived from the products. Scottish households are buying slightly fewer crisps and savoury snacks than they did in 2010. The FSS believe a "reformulation" of the products may have led to a marked reduction in saturated fats and a small reduction in salt. People in Scotland bought 10% more oil-rich fish last year than they did in 2010. The volume of plain bread purchased in Scotland has declined by 12% in the past five years, according to the FSS research And the number of potatoes bought by the nation's households has fallen by 28% since 2010.

The latest report by Scotland's new food body offers an intriguing glimpse into the eating habits of the nation.

Summarize the following article: Cards from comedian Noel Fielding, actor Richard E Grant and artists around the world have been sold to raise funds for Kendal's flood relief. About 3,000 properties in the Cumbrian town were damaged in December's storms. Organiser Helen Pateman, from Kendal Arts Community (KAC), said the response had been "absolutely overwhelming". The group had appealed for donations for the Card2Kendal exhibition and sale from complete beginners, local amateurs, world-famous artists and celebrities and it "just ballooned", Ms Pateman said. They have had more than 200 donations of oil paintings, water colours, photographs, digital art, embroidery, crochet and one stained glass "postcard". "We've had cards from Portugal to South America, USA, Australia and the warmth and love that people have been sending with the cards is just phenomenal," Ms Pateman said. Established Cumbrian artists such as Jill Pemberton and John Hodkinson have also contributed. Comedian Eddie Izzard and presenter Karl Pilkington have also sent signed cards. Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding from The Mighty Boosh "sent some very strange sketches" that their fans would love, Ms Pateman said. "I did a painting swap with Richard E Grant," she said. "I sent him a little painting I did of Wet Sleddale Hall, which is in Withnail and I. "In return, he sent me a self portrait which I'm really chuffed we've got." Cards are being sold for a minimum of £10 with those by well-known artists and celebrities auctioned. They are being exhibited at Kendal Arts Community's unit in the K Village outlet shopping centre. Organisers hoped to raise at least £1,000 for the Kendal flood relief effort. The Environment Agency said it expected to spend £10m on repairs in Cumbria after about 5,000 homes and businesses across the county were damaged during Storm Desmond. Bridges and roads were damaged or closed, leaving some towns and villages isolated and forcing residents and visitors to take long detours. A Flood Recovery Appeal set up by Cumbria Community Foundation has raised £10m, including government match funding - ten times its original target. KAC said some Kendal artists had been badly affected by the floods themselves and "understand what a traumatic time it has been". More than £900 was raised on Saturday with further sales expected via the group's Facebook page, Ms Pateman said.

Celebrities including actor Simon Pegg and illusionist Derren Brown are among hundreds of people who have donated postcards to help a flood-damaged town.

Summarize the following article: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to revoke the man's citizenship amid speculation he was trying to join a Syrian rebel group. Witnesses reported intensive activity in the border area, including Israeli aircraft dropping illumination flares. Israel officially maintains a neutral stance on the Syrian conflict. Its citizens are banned from travelling there, but a small number of Israeli Arab citizens are understood to have gone to fight in Syria nonetheless - though few arrive by air. It was believed that the man who flew into Syria on Saturday night was from Jaljulia, a mainly Muslim Arab town north-west of Tel Aviv, the military said. The military said it had been unable to find the man despite intensive searches in the area where he landed near the Golan Heights - an area in south-western Syria annexed by Israel in 1981, in a move not recognised internationally. Reuters news agency quoted a Syrian rebel whose group operates in the area as saying the paraglider had come down either in Syria's Quneitra province, which includes the Golan Heights, or in the neighbouring Deraa province. Israel's Ynetnews reported he had been picked up by someone on the Syrian side after landing. Israel's intelligence services are now said to be continuing the search. A minister from Prime Minister Netanyahu's rightist Likud party, Ofir Akunis, is quoted as telling reporters that the Israeli Arab had "crossed to the border into Syria... to join ISIS [so-called Islamic State] forces". "Whoever joins the enemy's ranks to fight Israel will not be an Israeli citizen," Mr Netanyahu said at the start of his regular Sunday cabinet meeting. There were initial fears that he may have been blown into Syria by accident and could have been taken hostage. But Israel Defense Forces (IDF) sources later said he had flown against the prevailing winds, suggesting the journey was undertaken deliberately. "IDF surveillance post identified a paraglider entering Syria," the force said in a tweet. "Initial investigation suggests Israeli-Arab crossed intentionally."

Israel says one of its Israeli Arab citizens deliberately paraglided into Syria, amid reports of intensive Israeli aerial operations overnight.

Summarize the following article: The Kings Science Academy in Bradford said Sajid Raza Hussain, who founded the school, would be replaced by an interim principal. He is on bail following his arrest over alleged fraud offences at the school. The school's governors also said they had asked the government to help find a suitable academy trust to join. The academy, one of England's first free schools, opened in September 2011 and was praised by Prime Minister David Cameron when he visited it in March 2012. The Department for Education (DfE) investigated the school after a whistleblower made allegations about its governance, and found nearly £80,000 of public money had not been used for "its intended purpose". In a report, the DfE said it had found "serious failings" with the school's financial management.

A free academy principal who was arrested over fraud allegations has been dismissed following a disciplinary investigation by the school.

Summarize the following article: O'Sullivan romped into a 4-0 lead with breaks of 63, 129, 80 and 90 and finished off after the interval with two further tons. "I just try to play and enjoy it and see where it takes me," he said. Two more ex-champions, John Higgins and Shaun Murphy, also made it through at the York Barbican. Northern Ireland's Mark Allen also went through when he beat China's Chen Zhe 6-4. O'Sullivan echoed world number three Judd Trump's criticism of the early stages of the tournament, calling it a "weird set-up" with play on four tables simultaneously. "At the moment you've just got to look at it like a knockabout," the 40-year-old Englishman told BBC Sport. "With four tables it doesn't feel right. There's too much going on. "Two tables is the most you can do without it losing its class. You've got to have fun out there and not take it too seriously." England's world number six Murphy, the 2008 winner, fought back from a 3-1 deficit to beat Brazil's Itaro Santos 6-3. But Northern Ireland Open champion Mark King lost 6-2 against fellow Englishman Sam Craigie after being docked a frame in bizarre circumstances. The 42-year-old - whose win in Belfast was the first ranking success of his 25-year career - forgot his cue following the interval and, after collecting it, was penalised for returning late to the arena. At 4-1 down King then scored a magnificent 141, the tournament's highest break so far, but world number 94 Craigie took the next two to get over the line. China's Liang Wenbo, the runner-up in 2015, lost a scrappy first frame against Australian Kurt Dunham but then showed majestic form, scoring two centuries and three breaks of 50 plus on his way to a 6-1 victory.

Summarize the following article: Moffat said the BBC was "right not to reward greed" after the corporation lost the rights to Channel 4. The writer and producer said he had rejected offers from other broadcasters who wanted to air Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Moffat picked up an Emmy on Sunday for Sherlock The Abominable Bride. He told the audience at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday: "Thank you to the BBC who we love above all bakery. British people will get that." Last Monday, Love Productions, which makes Bake Off for the BBC, announced it had signed a new deal with Channel 4. The following day, presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins stated they would leave the programme after the current series, which airs on BBC One. Judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry have not yet said if they are moving to Channel 4 with the show, fuelling much press speculation about its future and who might present it. Moffat, who is a board director at Hartswood Films which produces Sherlock, said after the Emmys ceremony: "We have had offers, that's not what it's about. It should never be about that. I think the BBC was quite right not to reward greed. It's wrong." Hartswood Films, which was also behind series including Jekyll and Coupling, is run by his mother-in-law Beryl Vertue and his wife, Sue, is also a producer and board director. During negotiations over Bake Off, the BBC fell £10m short of the amount of money required to keep it, BBC News understands. The corporation is thought to have offered £15m per year to keep the show. That would have been double the amount the BBC currently pays for it and its sister programmes such as An Extra Slice and the Sport Relief specials. But it is understood Love Productions refused to entertain any offers below £25m per year. On Monday, Grand Designs star Kevin McCloud defended the show's move to Channel 4. "I'm excited to see how they make it their own. It will be different, it will be its own creative thing," he said. "I can't imagine Grand Designs going anywhere. I was listening to the radio this morning when they were talking about Bake Off and I felt good to be associated with Channel 4. "It's a very big stable. I think what is interesting for Channel 4 is the way they remake themselves and revitalise themselves.

Sherlock creator Steven Moffat has praised the BBC for not paying a reported £25m to keep the Great British Bake Off.

Summarize the following article: George Osborne wants the BBC to have "a strong future" but told the Andrew Marr Show that the corporation should make a "contribution" towards the deficit. The Sunday Times reported the move will cost the BBC £650m. It is also understood the BBC and government are in talks over charging for use of the iPlayer. This could recoup some of the cost of funding free licences for over-75s. It would involve changing the law so that people who watch TV via the iPlayer and other online catch-up services would have to have a TV licence. Currently the licence fee does not cover these digital services. A BBC spokeswoman said it would not comment. The Conservatives promised in their election manifesto to continue to allow over-75s to receive free TV licences along with other pensioner benefits. But with the government pledge to make £12bn of welfare savings, it is understood to have the BBC in its sights to help with the nation's finances. Mr Osborne dismissed the notion that the BBC would have to axe major channels or radio stations if it took on the cost of free licences for the elderly. "I remember five years ago doing a deal with the BBC... where it took on £500m worth of responsibilities including things like the BBC World Service," he told Andrew Marr. "I was told at the time by people: 'They're going to shut down BBC Two, they're going to close Radio 4'. They always seem to pick the juiciest fruits on the tree. "I would say the BBC is a well-run organisation under Tony Hall, I'm absolutely sure they can make a contribution. But I want the BBC to have a strong future." The chancellor also said the BBC website needed to be looked at "very carefully", highlighting it as an area which could be pruned back. Commenting on the likelihood of national newspapers moving purely online in the next decade, he said: "You wouldn't want the BBC to crowd out national newspapers." The chancellor then queried the BBC website carrying "features and cooking recipes", saying: "Effectively the BBC website becomes the national newspaper as well as the national broadcaster." He added: "If you look at the BBC website it's a good product but it is becoming a bit more imperial in its ambitions." Hailing "fantastic programmes like Strictly", he said the BBC should continue to produce "popular" shows "people want to watch". He described the BBC as "a really important national institution and a fantastic broadcaster that produces some of the best television and radio in the world". He said the government wanted to give it "a sustainable future in an age where the technology is changing, where there are lots of other broadcasters out there". Last week it was announced the BBC is to cut 1,000 jobs because of a £150m budget gap in its licence fee income. Lord Hall said the shortfall had been caused by an unexpected increase in the number of households saying they do not watch live TV, using catch-up services instead. The BBC has to renegotiate Charter Renewal with the government in 2016, in which the corporation is told how much it will receive through the licence fee.

The chancellor is planning to announce in Wednesday's Budget the BBC will have to meet the cost of free TV licences for over-75s, BBC News understands.

Summarize the following article: His remarks come amid a row between Turkey and European nations over campaigning for a Turkish referendum. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused the Dutch government of being "Nazi remnants". He was infuriated when a minister was barred from addressing a Rotterdam rally, sparking clashes with police. Mr Erdogan's rhetoric intensified when he accused the Dutch of carrying out the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia in 1995. The killings of Muslim men and boys were carried out by Bosnian Serb forces and the remarks were condemned by the Dutch prime minister as a "vile falsification". Mr Tusk's remarks to the European Parliament came on the day the Dutch vote in an election in which the party of centre-right Prime Minister Mark Rutte and that of anti-immigrant Geert Wilders are frontrunners. The Netherlands is "a place of freedom and democracy. And for sure Rotterdam," Mr Tusk said. "The city of Erasmus, brutally destroyed by the Nazis, which today has a mayor born in Morocco," he added. "If anyone sees fascism in Rotterdam, they are completely detached from reality." Germany and Austria have also acted to stop Turkish rallies. The gatherings are aimed at garnering support for a "yes" vote in a 16 April referendum on giving President Erdogan greater powers. More on this story: Mr Tusk's remarks were applauded by MEPs. European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker said he was "scandalised" by President Erdogan's remark, which he said "drives Turkey further away from the European Union". In 2005, Turks lined the road to cheer Recep Tayyip Erdogan as he returned from Brussels, where Turkey had begun EU membership talks. This week Mr Erdogan lambasted Europe's leaders with extraordinary invective. What is his game? The answer is domestic politics. Turkey's president is entirely focused on next month's referendum on expanding his powers: the climax of his career. Polls suggest it's close. He needs to rally his nationalist support base and the far-right, who like the image of a strongman standing up to Europe. With an overwhelmingly pro-government media that hammers home his propaganda (recent headlines include "Dutch Nazi dogs" and "They will pay the price"), he believes he has a winning formula. That, coupled with Mr Erdogan's notorious reluctance to pull back or bow to diplomatic norms, means the inflammatory rhetoric will continue. In the process, the gulf between Turkey and Europe widens. And that's good for neither side. Last July, President Erdogan survived an attempted coup. He says European nations failed to demonstrate their solidarity and he has come under criticism for the hundreds of thousands of civil servants purged in a crackdown in response. In November, the European Parliament called for a suspension of Turkey's EU membership talks, and those calls seem set to grow louder, says the BBC's Mark Lowen in Istanbul. Germany - accused last week by Mr Erdogan of "Nazi practices" - has now raised the prospect of a complete entry ban on Turkish politicians. Peter Altmaier, chief of staff for Chancellor Angela Merkel, said such a ban would be permitted under international law but would be a "last resort. But we reserve the right to do that". The small western German state of Saarland moved on Tuesday to ban all foreign politicians from campaigning in the state. Turkey-Europe relations timeline March 2015: Amid a surge of migrants trying to reach Europe via Turkey, Turkey and the EU agree a deal to see rejected asylum seekers returned to Turkey in exchange for aid and political concessions from the EU 15 July 2016: President Erdogan survives attempted coup by rebel soldiers. Western governments issue condemnation but no leaders visit in weeks following - and there is criticism of the subsequent wave of detentions and repressive measures 24 November: European Parliament votes to suspend Turkey's EU membership talks over crackdown; the following day Erdogan threatens to open the doors to another migrant surge 27 February 2017: Austria says Turkey cannot hold referendum rallies for fear of "polarising" Turkish-origin communities 5 March: After German authorities cancel referendum rallies on safety grounds, Erdogan compares German officials to Nazis - prompting German outrage. The Nazi comparison becomes a common theme of Turkish officials 11 March: Dutch authorities withdraw Turkish FM's permission to visit, prevent Turkish minister entering the Turkish consulate in Rotterdam and ban rally, prompting Mr Erdogan to brand the Dutch government "Nazi remnants and fascists" 15 March: Mr Erdogan falsely accuses the Netherlands of carrying out a massacre of Muslim men at Srebrenica, Bosnia, in 1995

Turkey is "completely detached from reality" in calling the Dutch fascists, European Council President Donald Tusk has said.

Summarize the following article: Here's how the ex-London mayor held out: 10:51: The Daily Mirror publishes an article in which Ken Livingstone says Kevan Jones - who had questioned Mr Livingstone's ability to lead a review of Labour's defence policy - was "obviously very depressed" and "might need some psychiatric help". Mr Jones is known to have suffered from depression in the past. 11:20: Mr Livingstone refuses to say sorry, telling LBC Mr Jones should "get over it". 11:24: George Galloway stands by Mr Livingstone, saying people are trying to "defang" Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, as a social media backlash gets under way. 11:29: Mr Livingstone tells the Evening Standard he was unaware of Mr Jones' mental health history, but refuses to retract his remark. 11:36: Jeremy Corbyn's spokesman issues a statement saying Mr Livingstone "should apologise straight away," as the Labour leader is "incredibly concerned that people with mental health problems shouldn't be stigmatised". 12:10: Mr Livingstone stands firm in a BBC interview. "If someone's rude to you, you are rude back," he says. Mr Jones should apologise first, he adds. 11:36 to 12:30: Condemnation and calls for Mr Livingstone to be sacked or resign from his role in the defence review. Former Labour frontbencher Chuka Umunna says the veteran left-winger appears to be spreading prejudice. Mr Livingstone still refuses to apologise. 12:30: A group of Labour MPs, including former ministers, tell Jeremy Corbyn to ring Ken Livingstone and demand he apologises 12:31: Mr Livingstone "sort of" apologises to ITV. 12:34 to 13:25: More condemnation and calls for Mr Livingstone to apologise, including from Labour MP Emma Reynolds, who says his comments are "totally unacceptable". 13:26: Mr Livingstone tells BBC Radio 4's The World at One he's sorry if Mr Jones is upset. Labour MP Pat McFadden says this apology was not genuine. 13:51: Labour deputy leader Tom Watson says Mr Livingstone must apologise and withdraw his comments. About 14:00: Jeremy Corbyn rings Mr Livingstone 14:02: On Twitter, Mr Livingstone apologises "unreservedly". He says his comments "should not have been made at all, let alone in this context". 15:08: Shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn welcomes a "full and fulsome" apology from Mr Livingstone, adding that he had caused a "great deal of offence" and he "has now done the right thing".

Ken Livingstone's journey from refusing to apologise to Labour shadow minister Kevan Jones over comments about his mental health to an "unreserved" apology took just over three hours - pretty long by modern standards.

Summarize the following article: Openers Gubbins and Sam Robson, dropped on nine by Kumar Sangakkara, made 126 together before Robson (53) fell after his fourth score over 50 this summer. Gubbins (91) and Dawid Malan (58) set the visitors up before the latter was caught behind off James Burke [2-56], the first of five wickets for 51 runs. All-rounder Tom Curran took 3-80 as Middlesex closed on 298-7. But there is concern for Surrey, as their leading wicket-taker this summer Ravi Rampaul had to go off with an injury midway through an over. Shortly after Malan's dismissal, Adam Voges fell just short of his half century on 47 before John Simpson, who has made three fifties this summer, went for 12. Then Paul Stirling and Ollie Rayner both fell to Curran as Surrey will begin day two at The Oval looking to mop up the tail end of their opponents. Surrey all-rounder James Burke told BBC Radio London: "It was a difficult surface but the boys pulled together for the last session and for the first time probably this season we worked as a unit. "Losing Ravi was obviously a big blow, he's been our main strike bowler. So it was up to us to hold our hands up and step up. "It's a difficult wicket, the ball's quite up and down but I think if you apply yourselves there's definitely runs to be had and we're definitely happy with how we left the day."

Nick Gubbins top-scored for Middlesex before a middle-order collapse pegged them back on day one against Surrey.

Summarize the following article: Andrew Bedford, 27, from Huntingdon, was last seen in Ramsey in Cambridgeshire on 28 September 1990. Officers reopened the investigation in April and discovered human bones on land off Stocking Fen Road in the town. Police said new lines had emerged that they were following up after a 25th anniversary appeal prompted a "number of calls". Cold case detectives think Mr Bedford was killed with a shotgun sometime during the evening at a garage, which no longer exists in Ramsay, called Mongrel Cars. Mr Bedford was last seen on the evening of 28 September at Factory Bank, off Great Whyte in Ramsey. A police spokesman said: "The 25th anniversary appeal resulted in a number of calls to police and during the community engagement officers spoke to lots of people in Ramsey. "The appeal has given us new lines of inquiry which we will follow up." Three people were arrested in connection with his disappearance but no-one was charged. In April, police reopened the investigation as a murder inquiry saying they believed he had been shot. Bones "consistent with being human" were found by scenes of crime officers, forensic scientists and detectives during a 13-day operation in the town in April. Mr Bedford was last seen wearing overalls, a khaki jumper, jeans and trainers. He was described as 5ft 8in (1.72m), of medium build with mousey blond, curly, shoulder-length hair and had a number of tattoos. A man arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder remains on bail.

New leads have been uncovered by police trying to solve the murder of a man 25 years ago.

Summarize the following article: The driver of the Ulsterbus sustained minor injuries in the incident, which happened on the Portaferry Road at about 06:30 GMT on Wednesday. Translink said no passengers were on board the bus and no other vehicles were involved. It said the driver had been taken to hospital to be assessed and an investigation was ongoing. "PSNI attended the scene," a Translink spokesperson said. A major operation to recover the bus from the water has now ended. Councillor Kellie Armstrong said her husband, Barry, who is deputy station officer with Portaferry coastguard, was called to the scene on Wednesday morning. She said the driver of the bus was fortunate he did not sustain more serious injuries. "I came past the scene on my commute to work this morning," she said. "There is a substantial chunk out of the wall on the passenger side. "The bus driver is lucky he did not sustain worse injuries, and was not thrown through the front window. "It was windy and dark this morning, the tide was out at the time of the incident and it is lucky the tide was not in or the bus would have been submerged." Councillor Armstrong said the removal process was hampered by the incoming tide later in the day. "The tide came in and that made everything more complicated. The conditions were difficult for those involved in the removal."

Summarize the following article: Susan Rennie, 51, engineered 105 fraudulent payments into her personal account by doctoring company invoices, a court heard. She used the stolen cash to pay off her son's £200,000 drug debt and spent the rest on holidays and cars. Rennie pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position and was jailed for four-and-a-half years at Bolton Crown Court. The mother-of-three, who had previous convictions for benefit fraud and theft from a previous employer, worked as a purchase ledger for IT provider Ascribe Ltd. She moved to Lytham, Lancashire, while on a suspended sentence, and began working for the firm in 2007. 'Desperate addiction' The fraud was uncovered after Rennie's resignation, when the firm realised profits were down and launched an investigation. Passing sentence, Judge Graeme Smith said Rennie "appeared to have an addiction to taking money". "Once discovered, the fraud was easily traced back to you - there was no attempt to cover your tracks," he said. "You chose not to stop your offending but continued it up to the point of resignation, increasing the amount you took." As a result of the fraud, the company was sold by Ascribe Ltd at a reduced rate, the court was told. Defending, Rachel Woods said: "The initial motive for this fraud was due to her 18-year-old son, who had a desperate addiction to cocaine."

A fraudster with an "addiction to money" who stole nearly £600,000 from her employer has been jailed.

Summarize the following article: Colchester United had no record of the 1937 meeting until the notes were found in a box of memorabilia dropped off at the club. The "one of a kind" document records the appointment of the team's first manager and players, as well as a decision about kit colours. Club spokesman Matt Hudson said the discovery was "hugely important". "This will help us fill the gaps and tell the story of how the club came about, the foundations of what we are now," he said. "Without this book, and the decisions made by people who wrote this book, we wouldn't be where we are today." Mr Hudson said the identity of the book's previous owner was unclear, but he was thought to be a relative of Hal Mason, who wrote a book about the club's history. When it was officially formed, Colchester United replaced Colchester Town Football Club, which had been running since 1873. The new club took over the ground at Layer Road, where the side played until 2008 when it relocated to Colchester Community Stadium. "I think over the last couple of years we've tried to put a bit of Layer Road history back into the new stadium, and the minutes book is another piece of that - potentially the centrepiece," Mr Hudson said. A typed transcript of the minutes has been prepared so the original item can go on display at a later date. Mr Hudson said the club was considering holding an "archive day" to showcase the notes and encourage fans to bring in more photos and other memorabilia.

Long-lost minutes of a meeting in which a football club became a professional side have been unearthed.

Summarize the following article: Fontaine - the sister of fellow Oscar-winner Olivia de Havilland - died in her sleep on Sunday in her home in Carmel, her friend Noel Beutel said. Born in Japan to British parents, she and her older sister moved to the US as children. She won an Oscar as a vulnerable wife in the movie Suspicion in 1942. Hitchcock also cast Fontaine in the lead role in his first Hollywood work, Rebecca. Her other films included The Constant Nymph, Jane Eyre and Letter from an Unknown Woman. Fontaine won her Oscar over her sister, who was in the running for her role in Hold Back The Dawn. The pair's constant and lifelong rivalry was legendary in Hollywood. De Havilland is still alive at the age of 97 and lives in Paris. Fontaine gained another two Academy Award nominations, including for her lead role in Rebecca in which she played opposite Laurence Olivier. The actress later said it was a "bittersweet moment" beating De Havilland to the best actress prize. "I was appalled that I won over my sister," she added. But De Havilland - who played a significant role in Gone With The Wind - won two statuettes later in the 1940s for To Each His Own and The Heiress. When she won the Oscar for To Each His Own in 1947, it is said she snubbed her sister's congratulatory gesture. The sisters' difficult relationship continued for decades. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter in 1978, Fontaine said: "I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she'll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it." In her autobiography, the actress said: "I adore, respect and like my sister. But we don't seek out each other's company. We're such complete opposites." The pair remain the only siblings to have both won Academy Awards for acting. Fontaine - born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland in Tokyo - had four marriages which ended in divorce. She held dual British-US citizenship. She starred opposite many of the Hollywood greats, including as Joan Crawford's rival in her first major role in 1935's No More Ladies. Fontaine also lined up with Katharine Hepburn, Fred Astaire and Cary Grant - her co-star in Suspicion. The star was determined to play more wilful roles later in her career, gaining recognition for Tender is the Night in 1962. Her final major screen appearance came four years later in The Witches, while her final screen credit was for the TV movie Good King Wenceslas in 1994.

Oscar-winning actress Joan Fontaine - the star of several psychological thrillers produced by Alfred Hitchcock - has died in California aged 96.

Summarize the following article: He said his government would distance itself by allowing an independent prosecutor to investigate cases and make its own decisions. Mr Akufo-Addo defeated incumbent John Dramani Mahama in last week's election. Mr Mahama has been accused of not tackling a series of corruption scandals. Africa Live: More on this and other stories In an interview with the BBC's Akwasi Sarpong in his home in Accra, Mr Akufo-Addo outlined how he intended to deliver the promises he made to Ghanaians which earned him the presidency. "As a matter of principle, we have decided to take the politics out of it, so that screams of witch-hunting ... don't arise, by establishing an office of special prosecutor," he said. He said the prosecutor would be "somebody who will be independent of the executive and whose remit will be to investigate and tackle issues of corruption". He also warned that people in his government would not be "immune from investigation merely because we are politicians". Mr Akufo-Addo is to be sworn in on 7 January. He gained 54% of the vote, while Mr Mahama took 44%. He had been defeated in the two previous elections. Full profile

Ghana's President-elect Nana Akufo-Addo says he will set up a special team to investigate corruption but said it would not be a "witch-hunt".

Summarize the following article: At the launch of a government technology initiative, Lee Hsien Loong said he had written the "pretty basic" computer program a few years ago. On Facebook, he revealed he had written it in the C++ programming language, first widely used in the 1980s. It has led to thousands of responses praising him for knowing how to code. Mr Lee, who graduated from Cambridge University with a first-class degree in mathematics and a diploma in computer science, asked readers to tell him "if they found any bugs". Many of the hundreds of comments the post has attracted have been from people from countries outside Singapore, admiring the Mr Lee's skills, with some lamenting the technical abilities of their own leaders. Singapore's population has one of the highest levels of computer ownership in the world. The government has been keen to present the island as a test bed for new technology innovations. Mr Lee said it was imperative Singapore stayed ahead of the game when it came to technology and programming.

Singapore's prime minister has revealed his computer programming skills by publishing code he wrote to solve Sudoku puzzles, on his Facebook page.

Summarize the following article: Grimshaw, who hosts Radio 1's breakfast show, replaces Louis Walsh, taking his seat beside show creator Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. Pop star Rita Ora fills the fourth chair, jumping ship from BBC One's The Voice after just one series. The singer previously appeared as a guest judge on The X Factor in 2012. "I am excited to be coming back," said the star. "I had a ball here in 2012. This is a journey I can't wait to embark on to find some talented singers. "It's the new generation taking over. Booooom." Grimshaw added: "I love X Factor and have watched the series religiously since it started, so obviously I'm hugely excited to be joining the show. "Music is my job and my passion and I'm really looking forward to seeing what talent we can find and nurture this year. I can't wait for judges' houses in Oldham!" Ora and Grimshaw are close friends, and producers will be hoping their chemistry adds a new dynamic to the venerable TV talent show. Cowell said: "The best-kept secret in TV is out!! But I am really happy with the new judging line-up for X Factor this year. It's going to be a lot of fun." He said he had "met a lot of people" when looking for new judges. "We have always had great judges. And I will always be thankful for their passion and expertise," he said. "I have no idea what the show will look like but I feel both excited and nervous. It's going to be very different! Embrace the madness..." Dermot O'Leary and Louis Walsh are out. Nick Grimshaw, Rita Ora and Olly Murs are in. The new appointees for The X Factor suggest Simon Cowell is chasing a younger audience as the show enters its 12th year. At the moment the programme has a broad reach, but only 8.9% of the viewers are in the 16-24 age range. That's more than The Voice UK but less than ITV's other reality behemoth I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Grimshaw and Ora certainly appeal to a younger audience than the judges they replace (sorry, Mel B). Add in the fact that Kiss FM presenters Rickie and Melvin are being tipped to host The Xtra Factor spin-off, and it seems like ITV is aiming for a more streetwise, credible feel. Which all makes sense: The show's reputation lives or dies on the success of the winning acts. With younger audiences casting votes, the chances of producing another Little Mix or One Direction increase. It is not the first time ITV has poached one of the BBC's talent show judges; Alesha Dixon was lured from Strictly Come Dancing to Britain's Got Talent in 2012. Last week, Ora said she was enjoying being fought over by bosses of The X Factor and The Voice. "It is very complimentary, of course," the pop star told the Evening Standard. "A massive compliment." "Watching a bidding war going on makes me feel special." X Factor is being given a thorough shake-up after ratings for last year's final dipped to a 10-year low. An average audience of 9.1 million tuned in to see Croydon's Ben Haenow win the contest, the lowest since Steve Brookstein's victory in 2004. Only Cowell and Fernandez-Versini are returning to their roles in 2015. Host Dermot O'Leary will be replaced by former contestant Olly Murs and TV presenter Caroline Flack, while DJ Sarah Jane Crawford has also stepped down as presenter of spin-off show The Xtra Factor. This year's arena auditions - which mark the contestants' first opportunity to perform for the panel - begin in Manchester on 6 July.

Pop star Rita Ora and BBC Radio 1 presenter Nick Grimshaw have signed up as judges for the 12th series of The X Factor, producers have confirmed.

Summarize the following article: The match will be played on Saturday, 3 June while the Women's Champions League final will be held two days earlier at Cardiff City Stadium. The 74,500-capacity Millennium Stadium hosted the FA Cup final, League Cup final, Community Shield and Football League play-offs from 2001 to 2006. Olympic football games were played there in 2012. The major city centre venue in the Welsh capital will also stage eight 2015 Rugby World Cup matches. It missed out on hosting fixtures for the 2020 European Championship. Real Madrid's Cardiff-born forward Gareth Bale said "it would be fantastic to be involved in front of a packed crowd at such an iconic stadium in 2017". The Football Association of Wales (FAW) led the bid to host one of Uefa's major finals with support from the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), which owns Millennium Stadium. Football Association of Wales chief executive Jonathan Ford welcomed the announcement by European football's governing body. "We believe that staging both the 2017 Uefa Champions League final and 2017 Uefa Women's Champions League final will have a positive and long-lasting effect on Welsh football," said Ford. "Today's announcement is the culmination of two years' of hard work and I'd like to thank all those who've helped the FAW fulfil its ambition." FAW president Trefor Lloyd Hughes said: "Welsh football is certainly on the up and we look forward to working closely with Uefa and all of our stakeholders over the next two years to deliver two memorable finals." WRU chief executive Roger Lewis said: "The Millennium Stadium is one of Europe's great sporting arenas and I am confident it will provide a fitting stage for the 2017 Uefa Champions League final." Wales Women's team manager Jayne Ludlow also welcomed Cardiff hosting the 2017 female final. "Having played in the competition with Arsenal and having had the honour of lifting the trophy in 2007, it will be great to welcome the world's best female footballers to Wales in 2017," said Ludlow. The Welsh capital has a history of hosting major sporting events, including the final of the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Cardiff City Stadium played host to the 2014 Super Cup, in which Real Madrid - the club of Wales star Gareth Bale - beat Sevilla.

Cardiff's Millennium Stadium has been confirmed as the venue for the 2017 Champions League final by Uefa.

"We know we are letting in too many goals and not scoring enough," said the co-chairmen in a letter to the fans. "But be assured we will sort the problems out." West Ham have lost their last four Premier League games, conceding 14 goals, and lie 18th in the table. Record signing Andre Ayew was ruled out for four months with injury in August, having joined for £20.5m in the summer. "There have been factors which have contributed to the poor start with injuries to key players and some key decisions which have gone against us," added Gold and Sullivan. "But we are not going to make excuses and know that Slaven and his team will be working even harder on the training ground this week to get things right."

West Ham's joint-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan say injuries and key decisions have gone against them this season but they are doing "everything they can to fix the situation".

Summarize the following article: But now an Italian airport has decided to waive the 100ml maximum limit - as long as the liquid is pesto. More than 500 jars have made it through since Genoa's Cristoforo Colombo airport launched the "Il pesto è buono" (Pesto is good) scheme on 1 June. The cost? A donation to Flying Angels, which flies sick children abroad for treatment. Pesto - a popular pasta sauce made with basil, cheese, and pine nuts - is a local speciality in Genoa. The airport said the brainwave arose after staff were faced with "hundreds of jars that were seized in airport security checks". Tourists with pesto jars of up to 500g can ask for a special sticker in exchange for a €0.50 (£0.44; $0.55) charity donation - although the airport says many are donating more. The pesto is then scanned in a special x-ray machine before proceeding onto the plane as hand luggage. Foreigners are not the only ones grateful for the pesto-preserving initiative. According to the airport, Genoese travelling out of Italy are delighted to find they can take the much-loved foodstuff along. There are some rules, however: Passengers can take either one 500g jar, or two jars up to 250g. They must be flying directly from Genoa. And crucially, the pesto must be Genovese.

In an era of high-security air travel, many a passenger has fallen foul of the rules banning liquids on planes.

Summarize the following article: Around 315,000 people have used My Lost Account since the scheme was launched in 2008, its operators said. And 580,000 search applications have been made, they added. Users can find lost cash sitting in dormant accounts in banks, building societies and National Savings and Investments. NS&I alone has reunited customers with more than £445m through its tracing service and My Lost Account, which is run by NS&I, British Bankers' Association and the Building Societies Association. "Even small amounts of money can help with the costs of day-to-day living, so it's important people keep a track of their savings," said NS&I's retail customer director John Prout. The BBA and BSA both had pre-existing schemes but still received 400,000 applications between them, returning £200m to customers. The BSA's head of savings Brian Morris said: "During these tough economic times every penny counts and as such, we fully understand the importance of the scheme and will do all we can to ensure as many people as possible become aware of this free and easy to use service." Unused cash in bank accounts that had been dormant for more than 15 years can be used to fund social investment under the the Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Act from 2011.

Up to £645m in forgotten funds in bank accounts has been returned over the past five years through a free tracing service run by the financial industry.

Summarize the following article: To varying degrees, politicians are tailoring their policies according to circumstances in each of the 22 council areas. But what, in a nutshell, are their general pitches to voters? The Conservatives say they want to ensure "fairer" council tax bills and value for money for the public while safeguarding services for people in need. Protecting local high streets and supporting small businesses are also amongst the Tories' top priorities, together with a pledge to "honour armed forces heroes". Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies has promised that the party will listen, deliver, and "make sure that we're held to account when we get into county halls across the length and breadth of Wales". The Green Party is promising to "rebuild" communities, saying renewable energy schemes and "truly efficient" housing could create thousands of jobs and cut fuel bills. Grenville Ham, leader of the Wales Greens, says the sale of locally-generated renewable energy could "cut out the exploitative middle man in energy production and delivery". The party says it is focusing on "returning as many hardworking Labour councillors and councils as possible" and "sustaining our Welsh Labour councils' record of delivery". First Minister Carwyn Jones has said councils run by the party have "built new council homes... helped to deliver the best GCSE and A Level results ever, supported small business and led ambitious regeneration programmes". Labour says that, with support from Mr Jones and his Welsh Government, the party can continue to "deliver a fair deal for the people of Wales". Enabling small businesses to "lead their own priorities" and measures to encourage more people into town centres are central to Lib Dem plans to regenerate local economies. Investing in schools, social care, building more affordable homes and tackling homelessness are also top pledges by the party. Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Mark Williams described his party as an alternative to "complacency, arrogance and laziness rife in our local councils". "Spreading prosperity throughout the country", cutting senior council staff pay and "boosting ordinary workers' wages" are high on Plaid Cymru's to-do list. The party also promises to create local jobs and apprenticeships, regenerate town centres, seek high quality education for every child and supply more affordable housing. Plaid leader Leanne Wood has said she expects to make "significant advances" on 4 May. UKIP says council tax should be as low as possible "whilst protecting essential services" and argues "immigration must be controlled to relieve pressure of health, education, housing, police and welfare services". The party also says it opposes "excessive housing development and wind farms" and wants to cut "highly paid executives, not front-line staff and services". UKIP AM David Rowlands says it wants to "break down this cadre of Labour-controlled councils".

Wales' political parties have been setting out their stalls in the run-up to the local elections on 4 May.

Summarize the following article: Opposition parties say more should be done to increase access to NHS dentists. But the Welsh government insists there have been real improvements in recent years. It said 34,000 more patients were seeing a dentist at the end of last year compared to two years previously. The figures show that 52% of adults in Wales were treated by a dentist in the 24 months before 31 December last year. But Plaid Cymru said the fact that almost half of adults had not received any treatment highlighted a problem with the number of available NHS dentists. Health spokeswoman Elin Jones said: "It's obvious from the number of people who are still unable to find an NHS dentist, even for children, that we need to increase the NHS capacity even further." Liberal Democrat assembly member, Eluned Parrott, added: "This Welsh Labour government has completely overlooked the dentistry service in Wales. "Just stating that everyone should have access to a dentist isn't enough - there has to be action too." How do you provide enough dentists to meet the demand? Cardiff University's School of Dentistry is playing an important part, both in training future dentists and helping people who struggle to get seen on the NHS. Students visit an outreach clinic in Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf - an area with one of the highest rates of dental disease in the UK. When the clinic opened two years ago, over 1,000 patients tried to sign up in a week. The students benefit from being able to treat, with some supervision, complicated cases which they might not have come across in Cardiff Patients get free dental treatment in an area where dentists are still in short supply. Prof Mike Lewis, the Dean of Cardiff University's School of Dentistry, said he believes there are now enough dentists to meet demand. "The days of seeing people queued up outside practices are gone," he said. "I think the workforce is out there actually. I think at the present time, if somebody wants dental treatment they will get it." But Brian Webber, who helps train new dentists, said there are not enough places for them to practise. "In the old days you could graduate and go and set up anywhere but now you have to go where there's a contract," he said. "And if the local health board doesn't have a contract available then the dentists can't work there. "They could go into a private practice but that's not always available everywhere, especially in Wales. "We don't have a huge pot of money and so we have to manage the resources we have got effectively." The Welsh government said more dentists are now working in the NHS in Wales - 1,392 compared to 1,186 dentists in 2006/07. It said that access to dental services continues to improve, with 1.7 million patients regularly seeing an NHS dentist last September- more than 34,000 higher than in September 2011. "For the first time, every health board in Wales has a dedicated Local Oral Health Plan to measure the effective delivery of dental services and promotion of good oral health over the next five years," the Welsh government added.

Almost half of adults in Wales have not seen a dentist in the past two years, according to the latest Welsh government statistics.

Summarize the following article: In a corner of Philadelphia known locally as the Badlands, where some of the purest heroin in the country can be bought for just $5 a bag, a half-mile stretch of rail track has become a refuge for hundreds of heroin addicts. Next week the city will begin to clear out the tracks, but where will the users go? At the top end of Gurney Street in Fairhill, Philadelphia, there's a dirt path that forks through some trees and winds behind an old car repair shop, down to the rail tracks below. Follow the path and you'll find a makeshift shooting gallery under a bridge, where heroin addicts gather out of sight and the ground is a sea of used syringes, cookers and needle caps. Users stand around a wooden table to fix, tying on tourniquets and tapping in the crooks of their arms to bring up their veins. One man leans into a mirror to find a spot on his neck, carefully pushing a needle through the skin and rolling back into a chair, his eyes glazing over. Others line up along a long steel beam that forms part of the bridge, unwrapping fresh syringes and preparing to inject. For anyone too nervous, or too far gone, to find a vein, there's a man in a wooden shack a few metres away known as "the doctor", who will stick you for a dollar. This is "El Campamento", the busiest and most built-up of a handful of hidden-away injection sites along a half-mile stretch of freight track between 2nd Street and Kensington Avenue. For more than 20 years homeless people and drug users have sought refuge in this gulch, and today there are about 70 people living along the tracks and up to 200 passing through every day to shoot up. As nightmarish as it feels, users here say it's a safe place, away from the police and the rest of the public, where people look out for each other and outreach workers visit regularly. Narcan - a nasal spray that reverses overdoses - is never far away. But next week the city will begin to clear this stretch of track and force the users out. After months of negotiations between officials and rail company Conrail, contractors, guarded by police, will enter at the Kensington Avenue end and work their way up, disposing of an estimated 500,000 used needles, tearing down structures, and eventually paving over El Campamento and installing concrete rubble under the bridges to ward off new camps. "If they push us up from here you're gonna have a bunch of junkies on the streets looking for somewhere else to shoot up," said Luis, a 41-year-old father-of-two with dark, matted hair and dull eyes, who asked us not to use his real name. Luis wakes up every morning in a rickety wooden shack and spends his days, like the doctor, injecting other users. The fee is one dollar or one sixth of a heroin shot, and most people pay in heroin. Every six injections Luis can do a hit of his own. For 22 months he was clean, until his wife had a heart attack in the bath and drowned. Perched on a concrete barrier on Gurney Street, he squinted against the sun, opening and closing a flick knife in one hand and letting a cigarette slowly burn away in the other. "I had everything," he said. "I had a beautiful life, I had a beautiful wife. In the blink of an eye it got took from me. That was a year and a week ago." Days later he was down on the tracks. "At least down here you know you can get safe dope, you can get clean works, you can get high and nobody's gonna mess with you," he said. "If they board this up I have to start again. I have to find a new place I can lay my head at night where I don't have to sleep with one eye open." Walking the half-mile length of track last week, person after person along the way said they would just find another hole in Kensington, the neighbourhood around the tracks, a place already gripped by poverty and overrun by heroin. Kensington was once a vibrant industrial area that people came to from around Philadelphia in search of work. As the manufacturing trades died away, employment rates and house prices plummeted, homes were abandoned and boarded up and the drug trade moved in. Now people come to Kensington from around the city, state and country in search of heroin. The area is said to be the largest open-air drugs market on the East Coast. On nearly every block on the short walk from Gurney Street to Hope Park, dealers call out their brands - "So Fly", "Caution", "Cowboy" - and empty packets stamped with logos litter the way. The heroin sold here is among the purest, cheapest, and most lethal in the US. It courses through the veins of the place, turning public parks, churches, abandoned houses and street corners into venues to shoot up. Before the deal was struck to clear the tracks, the city cleared out McPherson Square, a small park on Kensington Avenue that had become a haunt for addicts. At the centre of the square is the local library, and when national media reported in May that librarians were being trained to revive overdosed users in the square - rechristened Needle Park by locals - it was enough. The drug users were driven out. "Back in '70 this was a beautiful park," said Joe Grone, a 53-year-old who moved to the edge of McPherson Square more than 40 years ago. He was pricked in the ankle by a used needle as he walked through the park last year, as was his five-year-old granddaughter as she sat on their front steps. "This place should be for kids, not for needles," he said. Now a large mobile police unit sits near the middle of McPherson Square and officers roll around the perimeter on bikes. Last week, children were running around again, jumping through a sprinkler and screaming with delight. Save for the odd syringe cap nestled in the grass, it was a happy afternoon in Needle Park. But drug outreach workers here question where the users went. Shortly after the square was cleared, there were reports that an abandoned church on Westmoreland Street had become a haven for addicts. Police moved in to clear the church too, and in the sanctuary, Kate Perch, a housing co-ordinator for local outreach charity Prevention Point, found a young couple in the grip of addiction. They had fashioned a makeshift home around a mattress and hidden their belongings under the organ pipes. As the police waited, the couple discussed different abandoned row houses in the area, debating which were safe. "That's a conversation which will keep happening in this neighbourhood," Ms Perch said. "McPherson has been cleared, Westmoreland has been cleared, now the tracks are about to get cleared. What happens to these people when that site is no longer available? Where will they go that is safe?" The worry for people like Ms Perch is that vulnerable users will be pushed into the city's hundreds of abandoned houses - "abandos" - where it is too dangerous for outreach workers to go, where people will overdose and no one will see. The city is already predicting a 30% increase in overdoses this year, for the second year running, taking the grim toll from 900 to 1,200 - four times the estimated number of murders. Fentanyl - a tranquiliser 50 to 100 times more powerful than heroin which has been linked to deaths across the country - has taken hold, infecting the supply of heroin that floods into Philadelphia from the ports. "The dope that's out there now... it's fentanyl, it's elephant tranquiliser, it's rat poison, stuff like that," said James Russell, a 30-year-old local with a 15-year heroin habit, who shakily made a cup of instant coffee as he waited for a check-up at Prevention Point. "The way a lot of the fiends are here now, you hear someone shot a bag of dope and overdosed and seven out of 10 people rush to go find that dope. It's insane." Jose Ojeda flew to Philadelphia full of hope. He came as an addict, seeking first-class treatment in the heart of the city. That's what they told him in Puerto Rico. But like thousands of others who had made the flight before him, he was heading for one of the city's unlicensed recovery houses, where users are exploited for their benefits and many wash out into the street, ending up places like the tracks. "I'm searching for help but it's impossible for me because I don't have papers," said Jose, looking away as he spoke across an empty lot by the tracks, his eyes bloodshot, skin rough and needle-marked, one hand tightly cramped against his will. His ID was stolen with his wallet while he was passed out, he said. He thinks a lot about his mother who died in Puerto Rico while he was in Philadelphia, and about his daughter and his granddaughter who are still there. "I'm trapped here now with my worn-out hands. I don't know how to speak English, I go places to ask for help and they don't understand me. It pushes me to drugs," he said. Without ID he can't get treatment and he can't get home. At 42, he's stuck in Kensington, a long way from home, with a heroin habit he can't shake. Even with ID, the barriers to treatment in Philadelphia are high. The city has an estimated 70,000 active heroin users and fewer than 15,000 treatment options at any given time, adding every different type together. The Housing-First programme will put a roof over the head of users without demanding they are clean, but there are currently fewer than 40 slots available in the Kensington area for about 400 homeless people. The city has pledged an additional $250,000 to supportive housing and is planning a three-day "resources fair" on an empty lot on Gurney Street, to coincide with the track closure, but police will be in attendance and mistrust among users is endemic. Even if there were treatment options here for everyone, many in the grip of addiction are simply unwilling or unable to seek them. "Addiction is a stigma driven disease in this country," said Roland Lamb, deputy commissioner at the city's Department of Behavioural Health and Intellectual Disability Services (DBHIS). "A person who is addicted only has about a one in 10 chance of getting the treatment they need." DBHIS is working with city-funded outreach groups like Prevention Point, in an attempt to engage with users before the track clearout. The charity began life 25 years ago as an underground needle exchange and two years ago moved into an old brownstone Methodist church in the heart of Kensington, a few blocks from the tracks. Hundreds of users travel to the building from all corners of the neighbourhood and beyond, for a check-up, a pack of clean needles or just a chat, and for a few hours every day the old church has a congregation of sorts. "This place is a blessing," said Laura, a 41-year-old regular who endured 15 years of homelessness, drug addiction and prostitution before getting clean and finding a place in shelter. "When I first came here I was deep in my addiction," she said. "They save lives here every day." But not everyone is grateful. Prevention Point has faced resistance from local officials and residents, who say it draws addicts to the area. The clean needles they give out undoubtedly save lives - HIV infections from drug use in the city have dropped from 50% to just 5% since the charity began its work - but some people were putting them to use immediately on the streets outside the building. Jose Benitez is executive director at Prevention Point. "The community's approach is 'we don't want this in our neighbourhood', the city's approach 'oh my god something must be done'," he said. "The trick is, what's the something?" As word spread that the tracks would be cleared, fear and anger began to surface in local Facebook groups. Philadelphia should "start executing drug dealers on the spot", wrote one resident. "Better solution, if someone comes into an emergency room full of heroin, let them DIE," wrote another. "DEAD IS BEST," someone replied. The aggression worried Dan Martino, co-founder of a local grassroots group, Philadelphia Overdose Prevention Initiative (Popi). On the second Wednesday in June, Mr Martino went to Mick's Inn, a narrow, wood-panelled corner bar in Port Richmond, next to Kensington, where 30 or so local residents had gathered to discuss what would happen when the tracks were purged. After an hour or so of listening, he stood up to speak. He asked the residents if they would be interested in a solution which would lower the death rate by 30%. They murmured yes. He asked if they would like to see lower crime rates and needles off the streets and they agreed. Then he said he was talking about safe injection sites, and the atmosphere in the room turned. Two women stormed out. When the meeting spilled into the street Mr Martino approached one of them. Her daughter had died of an overdose, and she told Mr Martino she would shoot him if she found he was giving addicts a place to inject. For some people around these neighbourhoods, safe injection sites - where users can test their drugs and inject in the presence of medical staff - are the last remaining hope. To others, they are unthinkable - a final nail in the coffin for a neighbourhood killed by heroin. "When I first started advocating for this there was a wall of resistance. People who would yell at me like I've never been yelled at by adult," Mr Martino said. "But these people are going to use one way or the other. That's just the reality we live in. We live in a world of heroin. Until we can find a way to stop it coming in from the ports, this is what we have to do." The woman who threatened to shoot him was Kathleen Costello Berry, a lifelong Port Richmond local whose daughter overdosed at just 17 and was left in a hospital parking lot to die. "I just had to leave, I couldn't even listen to him speak," she recalled. "I lost my daughter. If anyone had dared to tell me she could come somewhere safe to shoot up and we'll keep an eye on her…" She trailed off, her voice cracking. "No. No way. There is no safe way to shoot poison into your veins." There are no safe injection sites in America, yet. As the nation's opioid epidemic spirals, several major cities, including Seattle, San Francisco, and New York, are beginning to consider taking the leap, but there is fierce political resistance to the idea. There is one such site in Canada though, in Vancouver, and statistics suggest it has stemmed the tide of dead bodies there. More than 700 injections take place every day in 13 mirrored booths and no one has died at the facility since it opened in 2003. The clinic estimates that it has prevented 5,000 fatal overdoses. But the then-Conservative government fought it all the way to the Supreme Court. In Philadelphia, a new opioid task force will "further explore" the possibility, said a spokesman for Mayor James Kenney, citing "serious legal, practical, and law enforcement issues that have to be considered" first. Some local officials remain opposed. "It's taken a long time for us to hit rock bottom here," said Maria Quinones Sanchez, councilwoman for the city's 7th district, which encompasses Kensington. "Do we want to now send a message that you can come here and buy the cheapest drugs available and then actually have a place to use them?" But the current strategy - clearing out one park, church, or railway gulch and pushing people to the next - doesn't appear to be working. It has created a grim merry-go-round in Kensington that threatens to cause yet more lonely deaths. Consumed by addiction, and unready for treatment, most people along the tracks will continue to slip through the net. "Heroin is what's killing people, but not giving people the opportunity to say help me, not giving people the opportunity to seek treatment - that keeps them in the basement, it keeps them in places like the tracks," said Mr Martino. "These people don't want to die, despite their best efforts. They don't want to live like this." Down at the tracks last week, life was going on as usual. After so many delays, few people seemed to believe that the bulldozers would really roll through. But the rail company's deadline to start work is the end of the month, and the city has had enough. Luis was still injecting people and getting high off the profits, enough to dull the pain of the anniversary, a few days earlier, of his wife's death. He couldn't see a way out. "I'll just try and break through the fence and come back in," he said. "I ain't got no place else to go. It's here or nowhere." A few feet away under the bridge, by the fixing table, another user, Manuel, shifted his weight from foot to foot and stared off into the distance, pushing a baseball cap absent-mindedly up and down his forehead. He recalled doing his first hit ever of heroin, years ago, by the tracks. "This is where I started, it's the only place I've ever come to," he said. "If this place wasn't here maybe it would be easier for me to stop. "It's like my legs carry me here by themselves. If they close down these tracks, I dunno. I hope my legs take me somewhere better."

Summarize the following article: The move is expected to result in 16 and 17-year-olds being allowed to vote. The measure was part of the package agreed by the Smith Commission. It has been brought forward ahead of the other proposals so it can be implemented in time for next year's Holyrood election. Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael told the Commons the move towards extending the franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds across the UK was "irresistible". Mr Carmichael said it was "unthinkable" that 16 and 17-year-olds would not be able to vote in the 2020 general election. Shadow Scottish secretary Margaret Curran warned against the emergence of a "two-tier voting" system, as opposition parties pressed for 16 and 17-year-olds to be given the vote in UK general elections. The SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson also said it was "shameful" that the vote was not being extended to the age group for UK Parliament elections. He said it was evidence of Conservatives in England ignoring the democratic will of the Scottish people, as 58 out of 59 Scottish MPs belong to parties who favour lowering the voting age. Concluding the debate on the new regulations, Mr Carmichael said it was clear "all sorts of practical reasons" would stop 16 and 17-year-olds voting in May's general election. Mr Carmichael, who told MPs he was speaking personally, added: "I think it is unthinkable that by the time we come to an election in 2020 that we will not see that election on a franchise that includes 16 and 17-year-olds. "I think the move in that direction is now irresistible but, of course, that will be for the House to decide on another day." Speaking earlier as he introduced the secondary legislation, Mr Carmichael commended the involvement of young people in last year's Scottish independence referendum, which he said was "truly historic and inspirational to witness." For Labour, Ms Curran said: "If our young people in Scotland have what it takes to decide the future of their country in a referendum and soon the shape of the Scottish government, they have what it takes too to decide the shape of the UK government." "That is why Labour would extend the franchise in all UK elections so that 16 and 17-year-olds can vote too in UK general elections." Mr Robertson said: "I think all of us having gone through the independence referendum experience would want to make sure that that is not a one-off. "And the fact that we can do it for Scottish Parliament elections is great, the fact that it will happen for local government elections is fantastic. "The fact that it won't happen for Westminster elections is frankly shameful." The transfer of powers to lower the voting age is being carried out through what is known as a section 30 order. Prime Minister David Cameron has said he is personally opposed to votes for those under the age of 18. But he agreed during a meeting with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in December that it was appropriate for Holyrood to decide.

MPs have voted in favour of devolving powers which would allow Holyrood to set the franchise in Scottish Parliament and local government elections.

Summarize the following article: The children, starting as young as six years old, come each week to this out-of-school private learning centre in Hong Kong. They are getting lessons in computer coding not always available within Hong Kong's state schools, with parents paying extra for skills that they hope will keep up with a fast-moving digital industry. Over the next hour-and-a-half, they are taught how to create characters for a simple mobile game, using "drag and drop" software. "It's a form of coding," says Michelle Sun, the 28-year-old founder of this coding school, called First Code Academy. "This way, the kids don't have to type as much. It's much more intuitive for them to learn the concepts and build a foundation." Later they will begin to learn JavaScript, a programming language that underpins many internet applications. More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch She sometimes struggles to catch the attention of her young students, some of whom are glued to their screens. The atmosphere in class is noisy, boisterous and interactive. But she has an easy rapport with the children. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Ms Sun attended an elite girls' school, succeeding in the city's notoriously regimented, competitive education system. She was then exposed to western influences, studying at the University of Chicago and then working in California, before returning home to start a coding school. "When I was growing up, it was about taking in new knowledge and making sure we understand it in tests. But in the information age we are in now, the role of education is different," she says. Her own experience in Silicon Valley convinced her that there were booming opportunities available to those with programming skills, especially for mobile software. According to estimates from Juniper Research, the global market for mobile applications will more than double from $47.7bn (£30.8bn) in 2014 to $99bn (£64bn) in 2019. Asia, bolstered by strong growth in China, is expected to account for more than half of that market. Hong Kong is already one of the world's most wired cities. According to government figures, 85% of homes have access to broadband, and people own, on average, at least two mobile phones. But the education system - while world class according to global tests - has not been keeping pace with the speed of change in the digital age. Computer literacy is commonly taught, but computer programming receives far less attention in classrooms, according to teachers. A syllabus from the Education Bureau that sets out requirements for junior secondary school students in computer literacy was last updated in 1999. It exposes students to educational programming which is now considered by many to be outdated. The students at First Code come from families that can afford fees of between $775 to $1,300 per 12-week term, depending on the age of the child. That is out of the reach of many people here, as the median monthly household income last year was about $3,000. To bridge the digital divide, the Hong Kong government aims to make computer programming a required subject for students as young as 11 years old. "What we want to do is to incorporate coding as a mandatory part of early secondary education so as to equip students for the future digital world," said Joey Lam, Hong Kong's deputy government chief information officer. She declined to give a specific starting date, but said it would happen within a few years. Other countries in the Asia Pacific region, including Australia and Singapore, are also working out when and how to start compulsory education in computer programming. Last September, a new national curriculum was introduced in England, requiring students age five onwards to be taught the basics of programming. Estonia had started the trend a few years earlier by introducing programming in primary schools. In Hong Kong, private schools and study centres like First Code are filling in the gap. As for the children who meet on Fridays, they may only be working on basic mobile games now, but they may in he long run be getting one step ahead of the game.

On a lazy Friday afternoon, a small group of primary school students open their laptops and, laughing and chatting, plunge straight into the world of computer programming.

Summarize the following article: Firefox displays nine boxes or "tiles" showing screenshots of the websites visited most often by the user. Many users were concerned about Mozilla's plan announced earlier this year to add advertising to the boxes. But the firm has assured users it is not going to turn Firefox "into a mess of logos sold to the highest bidder". Johnathan Nightingale, vice president of Firefox, said in a blog post that many users had found the language of the initial announcement "hard to decipher" and were worried they would have no control over their browser. "That's not going to happen. That's not who we are at Mozilla," He said the tests were designed to understand what the users find helpful and what parts they ignore or disable on the browser. "These tests are not about revenue and none will be collected. Sponsorship would be the next stage once we are confident that we can deliver user value."

Summarize the following article: The Illusionist is the latest film from Sylvain Chomet, who set up a studio in the Scottish capital after visiting the film festival seven years ago. It has been described as a "fairytale depiction" of Scotland. Other highlights include a gala screening of one of Sir Sean Connery's best-loved films, The Man Who Would Be King, to celebrate his 80th birthday. Mr Chomet will attend the red carpet UK premiere of The Illusionist at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre on Wednesday. The animated feature, which is about a magician who travels to Edinburgh from Paris, was inspired by the director's travels around Scotland. Blockbuster Toy Story 3 will get its first UK showing at the festival. A special 3D gala on Saturday will celebrate the 15th anniversary of Woody and Buzz Lightyear's big screen debut, a full month before the new film goes on general release in the UK. Edinburgh International Film Festival patron Sir Sean will attend a screening of his film the following day. The festival will have a total of 22 world premieres, 12 international premieres and 133 features from 34 countries. Toy Story 3 will gets its first UK showing in Edinburgh In pictures: Edinburgh film festival There will be a European premiere for The Runaways, a biopic of guitarist Joan Jett's first band, starring Twilight star Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. Star Trek legend Sir Patrick Stewart will talk about his varied career, ranging from theatre work to the X-Men films, during a 90-minute live event. He will also lead the panel judging the £15,000 Michael Powell Award, which also includes actress Britt Ekland and Mike Hodges, director of Get Carter. A retrospective of "lost and forgotten" British cinema of 1967 to 1979 will be shown. It will showcase films which organisers say have rarely been seen on the big screen by modern audiences. The festival will also feature a screening of what is being billed the world's first "audio horror movie". HP Lovecrafts's The Dulwich Horror, narrated by Scottish actor Greg Hemphill, is a full length feature which does not have any images. The festival will close on 26 June with the world premiere of Third Star, a "tragicomic buddy movie" starring four young British actors.

A film by an Oscar-nominated French animator is to open the 64th Edinburgh International Film Festival later.

Summarize the following article: Demonstrators had held a four-day sit-in at Gezi Park, angry at plans to redevelop that part of Taksim Square. An Istanbul court later ordered the temporary suspension of the project to uproot trees in the park. But there is wider anger against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the unrest has spread to Ankara. Protests have also been reported in other cities, including Bodrum, Konya and Izmir. The US later expressed its concern over the reported number of injuries in Istanbul. "We believe that Turkey's long-term stability, security and prosperity is best guaranteed by upholding the fundamental freedoms of expression, assembly and association, which is what it seems these individuals were doing,'' state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. "These freedoms are crucial to any healthy democracy." Earlier this month, riot police clashed with tens of thousands of people attempting to hold a May Day march in Istanbul. By Alper BalliBBC Turkish People are angry and frustrated at the government's decision to build a shopping centre at the expense of one of Istanbul's most famous parks. But what started as a protest against the uprooting of trees is turning into a wider platform for expressing anger against government policies. Environmentalists have been joined by gay and lesbian groups, as well as socialists, union workers, members of opposition parties from across the political landscape and even so-called "anti-capitalist Muslims". The excessive use of force by the riot police and the insistence of the government to pursue their plans for the park have escalated tensions. Taksim Square has political significance for the anti-government protests. As part of the reconstruction plans, the square was banned as a venue for this year's May Day rally and any kind of demonstrations in the future; but now the government's heavy handed approach risks turning the square into a focal point for protests against its policies. What started out as an environmental protest in Istanbul became anti-government in tone, correspondents say. The controversial redevelopment project is aimed at easing congestion around Taksim Square, but also involves building a shopping centre over Gezi Park. Opponents of Mr Erdogan's plans say the park is one of the few green areas left in central Istanbul. One banner at Friday's protest included a cartoon of Mr Erdogan dressed as an Ottoman sultan with the slogan: "The people will not bow down to you." "We do not have a government, we have Tayyip Erdogan," political scientist and protester Koray Caliskan told the Reuters news agency. "They are not listening to us," he added. "This is the beginning of a summer of discontent." A dozen people have reportedly been admitted to hospital in Istanbul following Friday's clashes. Hurriyet Daily News reported that seven of those wounded had serious injuries, including a broken leg and head injuries. A journalist was hit in the head with a tear-gas canister and Hurriyet's own photographer was injured, it added. There are also reports that foreigners were among those injured. In all, more than 60 people were arrested. In Ankara, protesters staged what they described as a solidarity rally, with many participants chanting: "Everywhere is resistance, everywhere is Taksim!" Mr Erdogan has stressed that he is determined to go ahead with the redevelopment project in Istanbul. Amnesty International condemned the police's tactics against "peaceful protesters". "The Turkish authorities must order police to halt any excessive use of force and urgently investigate all reports of abuse," said John Dalhuisen, director of Amnesty's Europe and Central Asia Programme. "They have a duty to ensure that people can exercise their right to free expression and assembly." Mr Erdogan has been in power since 2002 and some in Turkey have complained that his government is becoming increasingly authoritarian. Last week, Turkey's parliament approved legislation restricting the sale and consumption of alcoholic drinks. The regulations would prohibit retail sales between 22:00 and 06:00, ban all alcohol advertising and promotion, and stop new shops and bars from opening within 100m (330ft) of schools and mosques. Mr Erdogan said he wanted to stop young Turks from "wandering about in a state of inebriation" and was not trying to impose Islamic values. The prime minister's Justice and Development (AK) Party has its roots in political Islam, but he says he is committed to Turkey's state secularism.

At least 12 people have been injured after Turkish police used tear gas and water cannon against protesters occupying a park in central Istanbul.

Summarize the following article: Ms Kumari is the daughter of the maharaja of Dungarpur in the northern state of Rajasthan. "They knew each other for years, they were childhood friends," Yaduveer's father Swaroopanand Urs told BBC Hindi. About 1,000 guests witnessed the elaborate ceremony and a further 2,500 were invited to an evening reception. They include Karnataka state Chief Minister K Siddaramaiah. The centuries-old wedding traditions involving the royal family took place at Mysore's City Palace. Yaduveer, 24, was crowned the new maharaja of Mysore, the titular head of the 600-year-old Wadiyar dynasty, in May last year after the death of his grand uncle Maharaja Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar. Srikantadatta Wadiyar, who died in December 2013, was childless and did not name an heir, but his widow Pramodadevi Wadiyar adopted Yaduveer Gopalraj Urs, a relative, to ensure continuity. Yaduveer's grandaunt, Kamashidevi, said: "It was a typical south Indian Mysorean wedding. There was a small pooja [religious ritual] for the bride before the wedding ceremony began. Normally, in our families, the girl adapts to the traditions of the boy's family." The couple are the custodian of more than 1,500 acres of land spread across the south Indian cities of Mysore, Bangalore, Hassan, Channapatna and other places in the state of Karnataka. The CEO of Mysore Palace, M Lakhsminarayana, declined to comment on the cost of the wedding, but added that "there was no extravagance". Another reception will be held on Saturday in Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka state. India's royalty lost their official powers when the nation gained independence in 1947 but the modern-day maharajas are still wealthy and influential. All pictures by Anurag Basavaraj

The maharaja of Mysore in southern India, Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, has married princess Trishika Kumari at the royal palace.

Summarize the following article: The turnout in the county was 390,967, with 231,224 (59%) people voting to leave. The remain side received 159,743 (41%) votes. The result prompted the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron as nearly 52% of votes cast nationally were in favour of leaving the EU. Tory MP Philip Hollobone said Mr Cameron's behaviour in the campaign had been "nothing short of a disgrace". Mr Hollobone, who backed Brexit, said: "The spin that the government has put on this campaign has been quite disgraceful, trying to scare the British people in voting to stay. "I think it's right now that the prime minister has lost for him to stand down. "I think he's been a good leader of the Conservative Party, I think he's been a good prime minister, but his behaviour during this campaign has been nothing short of a disgrace." Corby had the highest percentage of Leave voters, with 64.2%, while South Northamptonshire had the highest remain share at 45.7%. MP for Northampton South, and remain campaigner, David Mackintosh issued a statement saying he is "very sad" David Cameron his resigned, but that "he can be proud of his legacy".

Summarize the following article: A leaked report also alleges Mahboob Hussain tipped off his son about the upcoming sale of a Sandwell Council property Author James Goudie QC suggested Labour's Mr Hussain committed six council code of conduct breaches. Mr Hussain, now suspended by Labour, has previously denied any wrongdoing. He said he could not comment now as the contents of the report were "confidential". Former economy chief councillor Ian Jones and Mr Hussain stood down from the ruling cabinet after investigations began, but both had their suspensions from the Labour party lifted before elections on 5 May. Mr Hussain has been suspended afresh, the party confirmed. The authority commissioned law firm Gowling WLG to investigate alleged irregularities in the sale of the authority's former properties from 2011-2013. Publication of this report has been delayed after legal action by "one of the parties named", the council said, but documents leaked to the BBC shed light on its findings. On the parking tickets, Mr Hussain gave evidence denying he sought favourable treatment. Mr Goudie QC found Mr Hussain requested "in effect" for parking tickets for his wife and an unnamed son to be cancelled. He said the wife's penalty was cancelled, while his son's was reduced. This was among three occasions Mr Hussain allegedly broke the Member Code for councillors to help his family, according to the QC. Gowling WLG investigated alleged irregularities in the sale of the authority's former properties from 2011-2013, including three old public toilet blocks and a former coroner's office in Smethwick. A parallel police investigation ended in March with no further action. Mr Goudie said publication of the Gowling report was "strongly in the public interest". The QC suggested Mr Hussain's breaches of the Member Code included: Mr Hussain gave evidence he did not know who was buying the toilet blocks because the purchase was through a company name, not the name of his friend. He said he had not been consulted and had not been aware of the price. Mr Jones gave evidence saying he did not know the relationship between Mr Hussain and the toilet blocks' buyer. The QC said this meant there was no misconduct issue by Mr Jones. Mr Jones also said he could not comment now because the report was confidential. He has previously dubbed the investigations a "witch-hunt" and disputed the truth of the allegations. Mr Hafeez, who was arrested last year, provided no evidence to the council's solicitors despite requests, the QC wrote. He has not yet responded to further questions from the BBC. Police told him in November 2015 he would face no action. He said in November his arrest "did not relate to the sale or purchase of any former Sandwell Council properties" and he was "considering taking legal action against a number of individuals and organisations".

A former deputy council leader "interfered" in parking tickets issued to members of his family, a lawyer has found.

Summarize the following article: Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the "nature of the alleged crime and the resulting harm" were factors in choosing the death penalty. Dylann Roof is charged with the murders of nine worshippers at an African-American church in South Carolina. Police said he spent an hour sitting with parishioners before opening fire. The 22-year-old was attending a Bible study meeting at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in June when he attacked, say prosecutors. He faces 33 federal charges, including hate crimes, obstruction of religion and firearms offences. Police say he targeted the victims because of their race and he holds white supremacist views. Thousands attended the funeral of one of the victims, the Reverend Clementa Pinckney. President Barack Obama was among them, and he ended his eulogy for Mr Pinckney by singing Amazing Grace. The tragedy reignited debate about race relations and sparked a backlash against the Confederate battle flag, after a picture emerged of the suspect carrying one.

The US justice department is seeking the death penalty in the case of the Charleston church shooting which claimed nine lives last year.

Souvenirs for the ride stopped being sold at the Staffordshire theme park following the crash. A spokesman said: "We will be selling merchandise again when the Smiler reopens for the 2016 season." Both the ride and theme park - which has been closed for winter - will reopen on 19 March. Updates on this and other Staffordshire stories Four people sitting in the front row of the ride were among those most seriously hurt when their carriage hit a stationary carriage. Vicky Balch, 20, from Lancashire, had six rounds of surgery in a bid to save her leg before needing an amputation. Leah Washington, 17, from Barnsley, also had one of her legs amputated, while her 18-year-old boyfriend, Joe Pugh, shattered his knees. Daniel Thorpe, 27, from Buxton, Derbyshire, was treated for a collapsed lung and leg injuries. The fifth person, Chanda Chauhan, 49, from Wednesbury, underwent surgery after suffering internal injuries. The owner of the attraction is to be prosecuted over the crash. Merlin Attractions Operation Ltd will appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre on 22 April, the Health and Safety Executive announced last week.

Merchandise for the Alton Towers ride which seriously injured five people is set to go back on sale when the rollercoaster reopens.

Summarize the following article: Tor is a popular way of accessing the dark net - websites that are hidden from traditional search engines. A Europol operation last week resulted in 17 arrests of people said to be involved in illegal sites accessed through the network. A Europol spokeswoman said it had not exaggerated the raid's impact. But Andrew Lewman, executive director of the Tor Project, told the BBC he felt the significance had been overhyped - and he did not believe the Tor network had been compromised. "The police have way overblown what they have done," he said. "This sure made a huge press splash. The simplest explanation is that they probably followed the money trail - following Bitcoin transactions, they managed to find these individuals." On Friday, Europol said co-ordinated raids between 16 European countries and the US had resulted in "410 hidden services being taken down". It later clarified this, stating that while 400-plus pages were closed, many were pointing to the same hidden illegal services - the pages had belonged to 27 individual services that were seized. "They overemphasised what they did," Mr Lewman added. "I wouldn't expect the police to be the ones... you need to trust the police. "When they say they've busted 400-something, you expect 400-something to have actually been busted. And it doesn't seem that's the case. "What they've said was, 'Oh no, we've broken apart 400. And no, now it's 50. Now it's 27. And... maybe it's actually less than that.'" When approached by the BBC, Europol defended its actions and public statements. "We did not say we took down 414 hidden market places," a spokeswoman said, via email. "A hidden market place may have a dozen domains pointing to it and making up that market place. "What we did was remove 414 of those domains which disrupted the operations of many illegal market places." Mr Lewman suggested that the authorities wanted to give the impression they had "cracked" Tor to deter others from using it for criminal purposes. "They want to basically tell criminals, 'We're out there looking, and we will catch you', to create this sort of omnipotent ability to break into things," he said. Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC Tor is a special way to access the internet that requires software, known as the Tor Browser bundle, to use it. The name is an acronym for The Onion Router - just as there are many layers to the vegetable, there are many layers of encryption on the network. It was originally designed by the US Naval Research Laboratory, and continues to receive funding from the US State Department. It attempts to hide a person's location and identity by sending data across the internet via a very circuitous route involving several "nodes" - which, in this context, means using volunteers' PCs and computer servers as connection points. Encryption applied at each hop along this route makes it very hard to connect a person to any particular activity. To the website that ultimately receives the request, it appears as if the data traffic comes from the last computer in the chain - known as an "exit relay" - rather than the person responsible. As well as allowing users to visit normal websites anonymously, it can also be used as part of a process to host hidden sites, which use the .onion suffix. Tor's users include the military, law enforcement officers and journalists - who use it as a way of communicating with whistle-blowers - as well as members of the public who wish to keep their browser activity secret. But it has also been associated with illegal activity, allowing people to visit sites offering illegal drugs for sale and access to child abuse images, which do not show up in normal search engine results and would not be available to those who did not know where to look.

The impact of raids on so-called "dark net" websites has been "way overblown" by police, according to the group responsible for the Tor browser.

Summarize the following article: The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said the cuts would double if EU aid was not replaced after Brexit, with councils likely to be hit hardest. The IFS said using proposed new powers to raise income tax in Wales by 1p in the £1 would plug half the gap. UK ministers want some control of income tax devolved to Welsh ministers but no date has been set for this. The Welsh Government's annual budget is about £15bn but it has complained that cuts at a UK level have left it with less to spend. The IFS said the real-terms cut of 3.2% identified would be worth around £445m and would represent a decrease in revenue spending, which makes up the vast majority of the budget. It means that after inflation, the Welsh government would have 3.2% less for day-to-day spending in 2020 than it does now. According to the IFS report, a decision not to cut NHS spending would mean other departments facing cuts of 7.4%. On European funding, the report said that while the UK government had guaranteed some projects would be funded until 2020, it was "even less clear what funding will be available for schemes currently funded by the EU after 2020". It added: "If no additional funding was provided, the Welsh Government would have to find over £500m a year from its existing budget if it wanted to continue to fund these schemes. "This could more than double average budget cuts to 6.9% in 2020-21 (assuming the remainder of the Welsh Government's funding was unchanged)." Polly Simpson, a research economist at the IFS and an author of the report, said: "This research highlights the difficult budgetary trade-offs facing the Welsh Government. "Protecting such large areas of spending as health, social care and education would require substantial cuts to other areas of spending that have often already had to absorb seven years of real-terms cuts. "It is also important to realise that increases in the taxes under Welsh Government or councils' control is unlikely to be a panacea. "For instance, even increasing council tax by over 7% a year, could still leave some council services facing double-digit cuts over the next three years." A Welsh Government spokeswoman responded: "This report shows that the Welsh Government's budget will be 11.6% lower by 2019-20 compared to 2010-11 as a result of the UK Government's ongoing cuts to public finances and programme of austerity. "We are currently developing our budget for 2017-18, which will be published on 18 October, and are looking at the long-term outlook and how the pressures identified by the IFS can be managed." On concerns over EU aid post-Brexit, the spokeswoman added: "The first minister has made clear that he expects the UK Government to make good on the promise made to the people of Wales that we will not lose a penny in European funding." A Treasury spokesman said capital budgets available to the Welsh Government for infrastructure investment will rise by more than £900m through to 2020-21. He added: "Welsh Government budgets for day-to-day spending are reducing by an average of 0.8% per year in real terms over the Spending Review period, reflecting the application of the Barnett formula to decisions we took to continue to repair the public finances whilst protecting NHS and schools funding in England. "How it allocates the funding available to it in its forthcoming budgets is, as the IFS note, a matter for the Welsh Government."

Welsh ministers face a budget cut of 3.2% in real terms over the next three years, a think tank has warned.

Summarize the following article: Party leader Natalie Bennett claimed the move would bring in an extra £2 billion a year for public services. She said the Greens would like to see a "ten to one ratio between the top paid and lowest paid". The top rate of tax is paid on incomes over £150,000-a-year and currently stands at 45p, after it was cut from 50p by the coalition. Main pledges Policy guide: Where the parties stand Labour has said it would re-introduce the 50p top rate if it wins the general election on 7 May. Ms Bennett told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "There's been an undue focus on the deficit and less thought and consideration on the kind of society we need to have. "We're not collecting tax from multinational companies and wealthy individuals that could be paying for the essential public services, and we're seeing so many people in our society struggling." She said the proposed 60p rate would apply to people earning over £150,000 and the Greens expected it to raise £2bn a year. Ms Bennett said that "inequality in our society is a huge and rising problem" and her party wanted to see a "10 to one ratio between the top paid and lowest paid person in an organisation". The Greens have also proposed a "wealth tax" which would be 2% a year levied on people with assets of more than £3m which, Ms Bennett claimed, could bring in £25bn a year "by the end of the Parliament". Wealthy individuals would be expected to declare assets themselves. but the Green Party leader said research from the US showed that people will "declare fairly" if they think they are going to get caught otherwise. Andrew Marr also asked Ms Bennett if a ban on the Grand National would be part of the Greens' animal welfare policies. Ms Bennett failed to answer but said: "I can give you an exclusive preview of our manifesto, which says we want a complete review of all horse and greyhound racing." She argued that "there are clearly animal protection issues there which need to be addressed". Asked whether she'd had "a flutter" on Saturday's race, she said: "I confess I wasn't watching, didn't know anything about it."

The Green Party has announced it would put up the top rate of tax to 60p in the pound.

Summarize the following article: That compares to just 10% of households being private renters a decade ago. The survey also indicates a sharp decline in the proportion of households buying with a mortgage. The details are contained in the Family Resources Survey, which covers about 2,000 households. The survey suggests that 21% of households are private renters, 14% are social renters, 29% have a mortgage and 39% own outright. The rise in private renting has been particularly sharp in younger age groups. In 2004, just 16% of people aged between 25 and 34 were private renters, but by 2014 that had jumped to 47%. There has been a corresponding fall in the proportion of 25 to 34-year-olds buying a home with a mortgage, down from 66% to 35%. Nicola McCrudden, the Chartered Institute of Housing's director for Northern Ireland, said the growth in renting was partially explained by not enough houses being built. "More would-be homeowners and social tenants are being squeezed into renting privately, which could push rents up, causing further housing stress," she said. "This is unlikely to change unless we build more homes and people can access an affordable mortgage."

More than 20% of Northern Ireland households now live in private rented accommodation, an official survey has suggested.

Summarize the following article: It is looking at whether to make the bridges toll free between 22:00 GMT and 06:00. The move is being analysed as a possible way of dealing with a forecast rise in traffic as a result of a proposed cut in toll prices. Ministers have suggested cutting tolls to as low as £3 for many motorists by 2018. Forecasts suggest traffic would rise by 45% between 2018-2027 if the reduction was brought in. The UK government is also considering a "free-flow" tolling system - removing toll barriers and using cameras to track who uses the bridges - as a way of managing the traffic impact. The issues are all being considered as part of a consultation which closes on March 10. On Friday, the UK government announced proposals to cut the tolls to as low as £3 once the bridges enter public ownership, which is likely to take place around late 2017 and early 2018. Current forecasts indicate traffic on the crossings will increase by 28% between 2018-2027, but a report by the Department for Transport (DfT) estimates this would increase to 45% if the reductions are introduced. "Consequently because of reduction in tolls traffic volumes are forecast to increase by 17% over and above what they would have done," the consultation document reads. It also states the UK government is "considering ways to manage this effect, including considering the options for free-flow tolling and day-time only tolling". Early analysis on removing the charge between 22:00 and 6:00, estimates a £6.7m loss in revenue in 2018 if nobody changed the times they used the crossings. Data indicated that 6.5% of traffic on the M48 and 8.1% of traffic on the M4 crosses the Severn at those times. Based on the experience at the Dartford crossing, which is toll free between 22:00 and 6:00, officials estimate about 0.7% of daytime trips across the Severn could be re-timed to take place in a free evening period. That would increase the impact to around £7.2m in 2018. "It seems likely that most of this change would be from just after to just before 6:00 rather than at 22:00, when traffic volumes are lower," the consultation reads. The document lays out the reasons why the government is not proposing to abolish the tolls entirely, saying it would "put at risk the future of the crossings". "The reality is that given the size and complexity of these structures there will always be a cost to ensuring their safe operation," it reads. "It has long been government policy that the costs associated with keeping the crossings functioning should be paid for by the users that benefit."

The Severn crossings could be made free to use at night under proposals being considered by the UK government.

Summarize the following article: Moves being mooted include introducing "scare birds" in problem areas and making council buildings "seagull proof". The council will also consider a by-law banning people from feeding them. Its communities scrutiny committee met in Ruthin on Thursday and supported recommendations to explore options for reducing seagull-related problems. Other suggestions included a campaign to educate people not to feed the birds and reducing the amount of waste food left out. The council's head of planning and public protection Graham Boase said it had received regular complaints but needed the public's help to address the issue. He said: "Many seagulls are protected and we need to be mindful that many see them as being an integral and traditional part of our coastal communities. "What we want to see is a change in people's behaviour so that gulls are not fed from food and refuse left on our streets." It has used a number of moves in the past, such as installing "angry birds" balloons to scare off seagulls. Other councils have also faced problems, with Conwy council setting up a dedicated committee to look at issues in 2016.

Issues caused by seagulls - such as littering, noise and damage - are to be tackled by Denbighshire council.

Summarize the following article: Spectre, The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw continued in his five-star review, is "terrifically exciting, spectacular [and] uproariously entertaining". The Times said Sam Mendes' film was "achingly cool", while The Independent said it was "every bit the equal of its predecessor", 2012 release Skyfall. Critics were shown Spectre on Wednesday ahead of its release next week. The film sees Daniel Craig return as British spy James Bond, aka 007, in a globe-trotting blockbuster named after a sinister criminal syndicate. Two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz, French actress Lea Seydoux and Italy's Monica Bellucci also appear in the 24th official entry in the long-running series. According to the Daily Mirror, Spectre is "an adventure right up there with the superspy's best" featuring "moments of jaw-dropping stuntwork". The Sun's reviewer concurred, saying the film contains "all the classic elements fans expect", including a "jaw-dropping opening sequence". Variety also singled out this "expensively ludicrous opening sequence, set in Mexico City on the Day of the Dead," saying it "ranks among the great 007 intros". Other industry papers were less effusive, though, with the Hollywood Reporter saying it "ultimately feels like a lesser film than Skyfall, falling back on cliche and convention." Screen International, meanwhile, said the film "falls back on the formula to deliver a slightly flat, old-fashioned 007 by the numbers".

Critics have given the new James Bond film an enthusiastic welcome, with one saluting it as "pure action mayhem".

Summarize the following article: A TV advert claimed a £70 Aldi shop would cost £98 at the "big four" supermarkets. Morrisons and two members of the public complained the adverts did not make it clear Aldi's own-brand products were being compared with branded products. Aldi said comparative advertising was a "well-established principle". The German discount supermarket chain said consumers were likely to interpret the comparison as intended - the branded and fresh products from Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons shown versus the Aldi products shown. It said it believed consumers would know that its competitors stocked own-brand products which met the same need and would likely be cheaper and, in any case, on-screen text read: "Other supermarkets may sell 'own brand' products at different prices." The ruling applied to two TV adverts and a press advert. The adverts claimed a £70 Aldi shop would cost £98 at the "big four" grocers and compared a £33.04 Aldi basket with the equivalent at its competitors, which it claimed would cost £53.35. A press ad read: "When it comes to the crunch, Aldi win every time. Other supermarkets go up, down, all over the place. But Aldi have 'everyday low prices', so you know where you stand." The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said: "We acknowledged that Aldi stated they had not intended the comparisons to represent a 'typical' weekly shop, but to be a comparison between the pictured products only. "Nonetheless, we considered that was how consumers would interpret the adverts rather than as a representation of the savings which could be made by switching from a largely branded shop to shopping in Aldi, and therefore assessed them on that basis." Aldi's UK and Ireland chief executive Matthew Barnes said it was "extremely disappointed" with the "ambiguous and inconsistent" decision. "The use of comparative advertising is a well-established principle and is firmly in the interests of consumers and encourages competition between retailers," he said.

Summarize the following article: The number of such consultations has increased by 116% since 2010/2011. The NSPCC - which runs ChildLine - said that most of the children were aged between 12 and 15. Sue Minto, head of ChildLine, said social media was making the problem worse because it meant young people were unable to escape from bullying. "When I was a child you could go home, shut the door and you would have some escape and some release and a chance to pull yourself together again," she said. "That doesn't happen for our children and young people. They live in a highly pressurised world where the internet never sleeps and even if they turn off their phone, it's still there waiting for them." The figures come from a new report entitled On the Edge - ChildLine spotlight: Suicide. The report also says the highest number of consultations on suicide - either conducted on the telephone or online - were on Sundays and Mondays. ChildLine said it received calls from young people for various reasons but suicide was the only topic in which it had seen a significant rise in the number of people coming forward. A 17-year-old girl who did not want to be named told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she had attempted to kill herself after being bullied at school. "I felt alone and isolated - I wasn't happy because the bullying followed me everywhere and I didn't really have an escape," she said. "I thought 'What's the point in being alive if nobody likes me?'. I thought 'Why am I still here - we're all going to die anyway so does it really matter if I go now'." She is now getting help from counsellors. From April 2013 to April 2014, ChildLine held 34,517 counselling sessions with children who talked about suicide. Six thousand of these children had told a counsellor they had previously attempted suicide. ChildLine said six in every 10 counselling sessions for suicide involved 12 to 15-year-olds. This year, more 15-year-olds were counselled than any other age group. Previously, the most prominent age was 17-year-olds. There has also been an increase in counselling sessions for children aged 11 or younger - although they account for just 2% of all sessions. One in three young people counselled about suicide also mentioned self-harm in 2013/14, an increase of 29% compared with 2012/2013. Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that suicide rates for 15 to 19-year-olds remained broadly consistent between 2000-2012. ONS figures show that 125 young people within that age range killed themselves in 2012. Esther Rantzen, journalist and founder of ChildLine, said: "We must learn from what they are telling us, and persuade them not to feel fearful or ashamed to tell others of their feelings. "The first step is to make sure that young people have sufficient support around them. And so our report offers a wealth of guidance to parents, carers and professionals on where to seek help and how to open up these critical conversations with young people."

The counselling service ChildLine had more than 34,000 consultations with children who talked about killing themselves in 2013/14, it has revealed.

Summarize the following article: Double amputee Whitehead improved his own T42 200m world record at the venue where he won Paralympic gold. Visually-impaired sprinter Clegg, now racing in the T11 category, was in record-breaking form in her 200m event. But Paralympic champion Jonnie Peacock lost out to American Jarryd Wallace. Wallace won the battle of the amputee sprinters in the T44 100m with a time of 10.80 seconds to Peacock's 10.87. There was also a defeat for wheelchair racer David Weir who finished third behind Swiss rival Marcel Hug and GB team-mate Richard Chiassaro in the T54 1500m. But Rio-bound Hannah Cockroft (T34 100m), Jo Butterfield (F32/51 club throw) and Sophie Hahn (T38 100m) all recorded wins in their final big competition before the Games. Listen: Whitehead smashes his own record Whitehead, 40, was in blistering form, showing the benefits of the hard work he has done on his start to storm to victory in 23.03 seconds - beating his own mark of 23.46 set in Germany earlier this month. "I wanted to be the first athlete to break a record on this track but Keni Harrison got there on Friday night," he told BBC Sport. "Me and my coach Keith Antoine have worked on our race plan and I have put in a lot of start practice on the efficiency of my arms and legs. "I worked so hard in the winter and I'm still in heavy training so I felt a bit tense at the back end but I ran a 22.69 in Newham this year and I want to get those sort of times in Rio." Media playback is not supported on this device Commonwealth champion Clegg, 26, showed she will be a force in the T11 category if she is selected for her third Games in Rio, with a time of 24.44 seconds to win her event. Clegg and new guide Chris Clarke are still developing their pairing and the Scot now has to run wearing a blindfold, as per the rules of her new category after she underwent medical tests in Germany last weekend which saw her move from the T12 class. "I'm gobsmacked with that performance," she told BBC Sport. "We are getting better and better with every race. "It's been a big learning curve for me and for Chris but I am loving every minute of it so far. "The category change has been quite daunting because it means my sight has got worse and also running with a blindfold is different, especially with a new guide, so it's a lot of change all at once. But we have taken it in our stride and we are looking forward to the future. "I want to be on that podium in Rio and in the T11 category my main rivals are Brazilian so that makes it interesting and exciting." BBC pundit and 11-time Paralympic champion Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson The British team is in a really good place ahead of Rio and I was particularly impressed with T54 wheelchair racer Richard Chiassaro, who has made a huge jump this year. I'm not sure David Weir did anything wrong but he still has plenty of time before the games and losing might give him an added incentive. However, for him, winning any medal in Rio will be great because of the strength in depth in that T54 category. In the 100m, Hannah Cockroft has shown here that nobody can touch her and Sophie Hahn was another looking good for Rio. For Jonnie Peacock, there is more to come from his start and more too in his finish. All of the injuries which have taken time out of training have hampered him and he maybe needs a few weeks more solid training. Some of the psychology between him and American Richard Browne, which could be quite fractious, brought out the best of Jonnie. Jarryd Wallace is a different, more laid-back kind of character and maybe Jonnie needs a bit of that fire to bring out his best.

Richard Whitehead and Libby Clegg both set world records as Britain's Para-athletes warmed up for the Rio Games with some impressive displays at the IPC Grand Prix Final in London.

Summarize the following article: Daniel Morgan was found dead in a London pub car park in 1987. Despite five police investigations, nobody has been convicted of his murder. His brother Alastair Morgan has joined investigative journalist Peter Jukes to tell the story of his brother's murder in weekly episodes. Mr Morgan told BBC Wales: "The full story has never been told in a coherent, logical way so that people can understand what really took place here. "It's a really outrageous case. I want the public to have the chance to hear what happened," he added. When Daniel Morgan's body was found in March 1987 he had been attacked with an axe shortly after drinking at the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham. Police investigations continually failed to convict anyone for the crime, and the case has been riddled with accusations of corruption and cover-ups. An independent panel has been established to examine the circumstances of Mr Morgan's death, and the persistent failure of police to convict anyone. Mr Morgan, from Llanfrechfa, near Cwmbran, was 37 when he died. Peter Jukes, the investigative journalist who is presenting the new podcast, said he was "astonished" to hear the details of the story once he began his research. "We are hoping for witnesses to come forward that will jog people's memories. There's a lot of open-source material available, so people can begin to put together a story themselves, and maybe make new connections." As part of the recording process, Alastair Morgan revisited the scene of his brother's murder with the podcast's production team. Mr Jukes praised the podcast genre as a means of telling in-depth, complicated stories. "A podcast is great because you're limitless in what you can do. You can move around, and you can rely on a single voice - a presenter or, in Alastair's case, the brother of a murder victim," he said. The producers are hoping to emulate the success of the Serial podcast, which tells one true story over the course of a series. The first series raised questions about the conviction of an American man for murdering his high school girlfriend. The Daniel Morgan Murder podcast will be released to registered subscribers before Christmas, while it will become more widely available for download in the new year.

A new crime podcast is hoping to shed light on the unsolved murder of a Welsh private investigator.

Summarize the following article: Gordon McRorie's penalty and a DTH van der Merwe try put Canada 8-0 in front at half-time. The lead became 15-0 as Jeff Hassler bounced his way out of some tame tackling to touch down. But number eight Mihai Macovei went over for two late tries and Florin Vlaicu's penalty won it for Romania. It is the first time Canada have lost all four of their group matches at a World Cup, while Romania can still finish third in Pool D - securing automatic qualification for the 2019 World Cup - if they beat Italy on Sunday. A Canada victory seemed on the cards after a one-sided first half. Van der Merwe became the first player from a tier-two nation to score a try in four successive World Cup matches, after scores against Ireland, France and Italy. The 29-year-old showed the one moment of clinical finishing in an opening period that saw numerous promising situations. Van der Merwe is set to join Scarlets from Glasgow at the end of this tournament and the Welsh side will no doubt have been impressed by his powerful running and ability. When Hassler took full advantage of some weak defending to touch down for a converted try after the interval, Canada were in full control at 15-0 up. Romania's predictable battering-ram approach up front was making little impact against a resolute wall of red. Countless times the Canadians saw off several phases of play and the lack of progress and defensive pressure resulted in an inevitable Romania handling error as they tried to play the ball out wide in slippery conditions. Finally Romania seemed to twig, keeping the ball within yards of their huge pack and driving forward from close quarters, with their captain Macovei the inspiration. He went over to set Canada nerves jangling and, after Jebb Sinclair was sin-binned for bringing down a rolling maul, Macovei's second close-range score made it 15-12. Vlaicu added the extras and slotted a nerveless late penalty in a game that saw both sides miss several kicks at goal. Romania coach Lynn Howells: "They've earned the right for a beer but it won't be to a great extent. "It'll be in the team room and we'll have control over them." Canada captain Jamie Cudmore: "What do you think it feels like? It's horrible. The guys are extremely disappointed after working so hard." Canada manager Gareth Rees: "To echo Jamie's comments, it is totally unacceptable to finish a campaign with that performance, for 30 minutes, and to finish a game like that. "I would like to apologise on behalf of the players that we let those people down." Canada: Jones, Hassler, Hearn, Blevins, van der Merwe, Hirayama, McRorie, Buydens, Barkwill, Wooldridge, Beukeboom, Cudmore, Sinclair, Moonlight, Carpenter. Replacements: Pritchard for Jones (74), Trainor for Blevins (49), Mack for McRorie (49), Sears-Duru for Buydens (45), Ilnicki for Wooldridge (67), Dala for Moonlight (63). Not Used: Piffero, Gilmour.

Summarize the following article: A spokesman told the BBC the six had been removed from their contracts after claims of misconduct were investigated. Most were US nationals and included staff and private security contractors, the Wall Street Journal reported. Use of hashish by local and foreign staff is not unusual, Afghans who have worked at the embassy told the BBC. The investigation was launched after someone was noticed apparently high on drugs. The embassy said it took "seriously any incidents of misconduct by Department of State personnel and contractors". "In this case six personnel who were found to have been using or in possession of prohibited substances were removed from their contracts and no longer work at the US embassy in Kabul." The US-led coalition has spent billions of dollars on counter-narcotic efforts since launching the war against the Taliban in 2001. Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium, the main ingredient in heroin. Opium production increased by 43% in the past year, United Nations officials said in October.

Six people working at the US embassy in the Afghan capital, Kabul, have been fired for using or possessing illegal drugs, officials say.

Summarize the following article: A George Ford penalty and drop-goal gave the hosts a 6-3 lead at the break. The England fly-half added a second penalty after the break but Ireland 10 Johnny Sexton's brace, to add to his first-half kick, levelled matters. Bath scored a penalty try from a scrum, only for Leinster to level through Josh van der Flier's converted try, but a third Ford penalty saw Bath edge home. Bath, who saw last weekend's game against Toulon postponed after the terror attacks in Paris, looked to play with pace and width from the first whistle, unafraid to attack from deep and keen to get their dangerous back three involved whenever possible. But Leinster's defence was superb, with Ben Teo'o making his mark in midfield, and in the end it was the power of the Bath scrum that proved key. They won half a dozen penalties at the scrum to deny Leinster momentum and give Ford the chance to keep the scoreboard ticking over. And it was a mighty shove midway though the second half that prompted referee Jerome Gacres to award the penalty try that looked like being crucial. Three-time champions Leinster rarely looked threatening but Sexton's boot kept them in touch, and when they brought on their replacements the new faces played a major role in levelling the score. They injected pace into the visitors' game and Leinster academy product Van Der Flier ran a beautiful line to slice through the Bath defence, before showing good strength to go over in a double tackle. The visitors then had a chance to take a late lead, but Sexton's 55m penalty attempt fell short and Bath countered from underneath their posts. When they were awarded a scrum midway inside the Leinster half, their fired-up eight again took the Irish side apart. From the resulting penalty, Ford made light of the difficult angle to drill the kick between the posts to secure victory for Bath and condemn Leinster to a second straight defeat. Bath head coach Mike Ford: "We showed our inexperience at 16-9 up. We were in control of the game, but we stupidly did things that let them back in. "I am pleased we won against a Leinster side full of internationals. Our scrum was awesome - Henry Thomas and Nick Auterac were outstanding - but we can't afford to give teams easy outs and chances to score points like we did today." Bath: Watson; Rokoduguni, Devoto, K Eastmond, Banahan; Ford, Cook; Auterac, Webber, Thomas, Hooper, Attwood, Garvey, Louw, Houston. Replacements: Homer for Watson (77), Priestland for Devoto (71), Matawalu for Cook (56), Catt for Auterac (65), Batty for Webber (53), Lahiff for Thomas (64), Faosiliva for Houston (53).

Summarize the following article: It suggested it may stand down in Plymouth Sutton and Devonport to give Labour a better chance of winning the seat from the Tory MP Oliver Colville. In return it wants Labour to agree not to contest the Totnes seat. Dr Sarah Wollaston, Conservative MP for Totnes, described the plans as "anti-democratic". The Green Party said it was "early days" but it hoped arrangements could be made locally with the Labour Party. More on the pact story, plus more Devon and Cornwall news It follows a letter from the party's leadership to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron for similar deals around the country. Dr John Green, South Devon Green Party chairman, said: "I think people want a Parliament elected that better represents the views of the electorate. "I believe our voters would prefer some sort of progressive alliance that would ensure the Tories don't have a majority in the next Parliament." Plymouth Sutton is the most marginal seat in the South West. It is traditionally a Tory-Labour contest. The Conservative defender Oliver Colvile held on in 2015 but by just 523 votes. The Greens got more than 500 votes so the logic is pretty obvious. Arguably the perfect seat for this is St Ives in Cornwall which was Lib Dem from 1997 to the last election. There the Green vote alone, had it switched to the Lib Dems, would have seen the Lib Dem holder hold the seat. And the previous Lib Dem MP Andrew George has done lots of campaigning with the Green Party's Caroline Lucas, so there could be a perfect fit there. Mr Colvile said: "I was the underdog in this constituency and I'm not going to try and pre-judge what would happen if there was a deal." Luke Pollard, Labour's election co-ordinator for the ward, said the party was "fighting to win" and he was not aware of any contacts for a pact with the Greens. "I was as surprised as anyone when I heard about it," he said. Dr Wollaston said: "It looks anti-democratic" for a "small group of people dividing this up between them". Devon County Council's Liberal Democrat group has an arrangement where five councillors have an alliance with two Greens. The local Lib Dem leader Keith Baldry said it would be "up to local constituencies" to make any decisions for the general election. "Locally it could be a good idea and we will take part in any talks to do the best for the area."

The Green Party has said it may not field parliamentary candidates in some seats in Devon in a tactic calculated to help prevent a Conservative victory.

Summarize the following article: Midfielder Gary Dicker joins from Carlisle United on an 18-month deal and full-back Lee Hodson arrives on loan from MK Dons. Dicker, 29, has made 27 appearances this season and was due to be out of contract with the English League Two side in the summer. Hodson, 24, is a Northern Ireland international, winning the first of 14 caps in 2010. He has only featured in three league matches this season, having helped MK Dons win promotion to the Championship last term. Dublin-born Dicker started Carlisle's 3-0 FA Cup loss to Everton on Sunday, the day after Gary Locke resigned at Rugby Park. Meanwhile, Lee McCulloch will take charge of Killie's Scottish Cup tie against Rangers on Saturday. The former Ibrox captain, 37, was recruited by Locke as a player-coach in the summer. Killie are still in talks with the former Motherwell and Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies over their managerial vacancy. But those discussions are unlikely to be concluded before the weekend.

Summarize the following article: The 25-year-old continues to be linked with a move to the Ligue 1 club and is due to return from China on Tuesday. Reports said the player was due in Qatar this week for a PSG medical. Barca chief Josep Maria Bartomeu said last week that Neymar would be staying. His comments came after reports that PSG had triggered the release clause, which would be a world record fee for a player. Should that sum be offered, the 24-time Spanish champions will ask Uefa to consider whether the French club would be in breach of FFP regulations. In an interview with Mundo Deportivo at the weekend, La Liga president Javier Tebas threatened a legal response against the former French champions if European football's governing body failed to take action. He also said that PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi had been made aware of the Spanish league's intentions. "We will [make a complaint about PSG] because they infringe Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules and also the European Union's competition rules," he said. "We will make a complaint to Uefa and if they don't do anything we will take it to the competition tribunals in Switzerland and Brussels. And, from there, we don't rule out going through the courts in France and Spain." He added: "Two months ago I met the president of PSG at La Liga's offices and I told him what we were going to do and the reasons why. "He was angry with me and said that he did not understand. We have a relationship [through Qatar sports channel BeIn] for Spanish football, but La Liga must defend our clubs in these situations." European football's governing body says it has yet to receive a complaint, adding that it would look into details of a transfer, regardless, to ensure it respected FFP guidelines. In a statement to the BBC, it said: "We are not in a position to stop clubs from buying players, but the clubs will face sanctions if they fail to abide by Financial Fair Play rules. "The impact of a potential transfer of Neymar to PSG would have an effect on the club finances over several years. "It is very difficult to judge this type of operation in advance as we do not know the plans of the French club. They could well sell a few players for a similar or even superior amount. Sanctions would be applied if the club has demonstrated that they have losses of over 30m euros (£26.81m) over three years." Any future punishment for PSG could range from a fine to exclusion from competition. However, Uefa did state that in "numerous cases" the objectives of FFP can be best achieved with a "rehabilitative approach rather than a punitive approach". The FFP rules, first implemented during the 2011-12 season, stipulate that European clubs cannot spend more than they earned. PSG, supported by a Qatar fund, were punished in 2014 for breach of FFP. Their £167m commercial contract with the Qatar Tourism Authority was deemed to have an unfair value by Uefa's independent investigation panel. They were given a £20m fine, their spending was capped to £49m and they competed in the 2014-15 Champions League with just 21 players instead of the usual 25. Current FFP regulations - updated in June 2015 - state that owners can inject cash into a club as long as they can demonstrate how they will reach break-even. And a club will also have to ensure that their losses do not exceed 30m euros (£26.81m) over three seasons.

Barcelona expect Neymar to return to training on Wednesday, but are ready to push for a Financial Fair Play investigation if Paris St-Germain pay the 222m euros (£198m) release clause for the Brazil forward.

Summarize the following article: The ombudsman has received a public complaint about how police dealt with the booby-trap bomb left for security forces at Kildrum Gardens in Creggan in August 1988. Investigators will be at the Healthy Living Centre at Central Drive in Creggan to speak to anyone who may have information. Sean Dalton, who was 55 and Sheila Lewis who was 60 were murdered by the bomb. Another man Gerard Curran died died the following year from his injuries. Investigating officer Dunlop McCubbin said he believed people still had useful information. "In particular I'm interested in a Datsun car which was abandoned at the rear of Kildrum Gardens on 25 August 1988," he said "And I'm interested in what the police response was to that car being parked at the back of Kildrum Gardens. That car subsequently exploded in the early hours of 26 August. "I'm looking for any information from the public about that car being abandoned." Lost Lives, the book which chronicles every death in Northern Ireland's Troubles, said the incident was described as the "good neighbours bomb". The IRA had kidnapped a man and booby-trapped his flat in the expectation it would be searched by the security forces. Instead the three victims, who had noticed their neighbour's absence, went to the man's flat. Mr Dalton managed to get inside which detonated the bomb and demolished the flat. According to Lost Lives Mr Dalton's family later claimed the police had been negligent in allowing civilians to approach the flat. They allege the police were aware it had been booby-trapped but the bomb had been left in place to protect an informant. The family stressed that the IRA was ultimately responsible for what happened but said the RUC should have also accepted its responsibility.

Investigators from the Police Ombudsman's Office will be in Londonderry on Thursday to appeal for information about the deaths of three people killed by an IRA bomb more than 22 years ago.

Summarize the following article: The Colombia centre-back has agreed a six-year deal and will be the Premier League club's first summer signing. "I am very excited to be signing for such a famous club as Tottenham Hotspur," said Sanchez, 21. "I am looking forward to working with [manager] Mauricio Pochettino and the players and meeting everyone there." He added: "I would like to thank the coach, management, players and fans of Ajax. It is a great move for me to come here to develop my career." Spurs' existing club record is the £30m paid to Newcastle for France midfielder Moussa Sissoko 12 months ago. Tottenham boss Pochettino said on Friday he wants four new recruits before the end of the transfer window and "expects the club to sign more players". Earlier in August, defender Danny Rose spoke of his frustration at Spurs' lack of signings, telling the Sun that the club needed to add well-known players and "not ones you had to Google". He later issued an apology for the "ill-judged" comments, which was accepted by Pochettino. Former Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas on BBC Radio 5 live Sanchez is a top player. His performance in the Europa League final, when he came up against Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, was pretty special. Spurs have got someone they can mould and turn into what they want. My only worry is has it got a little feeling of him being a replacement for Toby Alderweireld, if contract negotiations don't go too well? I hope not. I hope it's maybe Spurs shifting to a back three, with Jan Vertonghen, or maybe he's a squad player that makes them even stronger than they are. Also, it just shows the strength they have in the transfer market, picking out the top young individuals in Europe. And that they want to go and play for Spurs is brilliant.

Summarize the following article: Fisherman John McKinnon spotted the whale from the shore at Elgol in Skye at the weekend and alerted British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR). After raising the alarm, Mr McKinnon and one of his nephews went out in a boat to check on the animal. The pair were able to cut the whale free. BDMLR identified it as one they had tried to rescue just weeks earlier. BDMLR thought the whale had drowned after losing track of it due to bad weather. After the fishermen cut the fishing gear from the whale's tail, the animal swam off before returning to the boat for a few moments before swimming away.

Summarize the following article: Debbie Abrahams held off the challenge of Lib Dem Elwyn Watkins, while the Conservatives' vote fell by more than 7,000 as they came a distant third. Labour leader Ed Miliband said it sent a "clear message" to ministers about rising VAT, tuition fees and cuts. Nick Clegg said he was pleased with the Lib Dem performance, their share of the vote was slightly up on May's result. The by-election was called after a special court found ex-Labour minister Phil Woolas had lied about Mr Watkins in May's general election and invalidated the result. Eight months ago, Labour won the seat by just 103 votes from the Lib Dems but, this time, it secured a much clearer victory - finishing 3,558 votes ahead of their closest rivals with 14,718 votes. The party's share of the vote increased from 31.9% to 42%. Although the Lib Dems failed to snatch the seat, their share of the vote actually increased slightly, from 31.6% at the general election to 31.9%. They polled 11,160 votes, with the Conservatives getting 4,481 (12.8% share), UKIP 2,029 (5.8%) and the BNP 1,560 (4.5%). However, the Tories' share of the vote fell from 26.4% in May. BBC political editor Nick Robinson said Labour and the Lib Dems would be relieved by the result - but it would worry some Conservatives. The Tory leadership would be pleased their coalition partners had avoided disaster but Tory activists would be anxious about Mr Cameron's apparent willingness to help the Lib Dems and the possible collapse of working class Tory support in northern seats. The by-election is the first significant opportunity that voters have had to pass judgement on the policies of the coalition government and Ed Miliband's performance as opposition leader. Senior Labour figures hailed the result as proof of public "anger". Party leader Ed Miliband said: "I think the voters of Oldham east and Saddleworth have sent a very clear message to the government about some of the things they've been doing, the rise in VAT, the trebling of tuition fees and the police cuts... "This is the first step in a long journey for Labour. But more importantly, I hope the government will listen to what they've said about those key issues." Ms Abrahams told Labour activists that the result sent a clear message to David Cameron that "you have to listen, think again and change direction". But the Conservatives and Lib Dems argued that Labour had held the seat since it was created in 1997. Lib Dem deputy leader Simon Hughes told the BBC his party was in "good heart". "We pushed up our share of the vote and actually we had the same share of the vote yesterday as Labour won with at the general election just a few months ago." Party leader Nick Clegg, who visited the constituency three times to throw his weight behind the party's candidate Elwyn Watkins, said the party had "brought the fight to Labour's front door in a way that will have confounded our critics". Mr Watkins, whose court battle against Phil Woolas triggered the contest, said he had no regrets: "I think it was the right decision to take and I am proud of what I did." Turnout in the contest was considerably lower than in the general election, with 48% of registered voters casting their ballots compared with 61% in May. Send us your comments Analysis: Boost for Miliband In quotes: Result reaction Warsi warns Tory critics Conservative Party co-chairman Baroness Warsi said it was "inevitable" that the party which started in third place would see their vote "squeezed" in a by-election. She denied the Conservatives had deliberately fought a lacklustre campaign to benefit their coalition partners. She told the BBC: "It was resourced properly. We had volunteers on the ground. We had professionals on the ground. We had a great local candidate." She said the Tories had run a "positive campaign" and while they had not attacked the Lib Dems, they had "never campaigned for them either". Asked about criticism from the Tory right wing about the campaign, she added: "I would say to those who are critical: 'Unless you were here, unless you were out delivering and unless you were knocking on doors, you really don't have a right to complain about us not being vigorous enough'." May's result was declared void by three judges and Mr Woolas barred from standing for public office for three years, triggering the first by-election since the coalition government took office. All the main party leaders visited the constituency during the campaign, the first by-election to take place in January for more than 40 years. Ten candidates, in total, stood in the contest. UKIP came fourth with 2,029 votes, ahead of the BNP and the Green Party.

Labour have comfortably won the Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election with a majority of more than 3,500.

Summarize the following article: Shreekant Kushwaha, in his late 40s, is a farmer who is a trained magician and has been using his skills to convince farmers in the state to convert to organic farming methods. In the last few years, he has conducted more than 1,000 magic shows and converted thousands of farmers to organic farming to "increase both their yield and incomes". "Magic and farming are both science and need use of hands for their execution. Both become obsolete if denied new tricks," he says. Most of his magic shows begin with some popular trick like making a small ball vanish into air, or pulling a pigeon out of a hat. "Once I've grabbed the attention of the crowd, I go for the real thing," he says. "I show them two boxes and tell them that one box has seeds with organic fertiliser while the other has seeds with synthetic fertiliser. Then I put a lid over both the boxes and say let's see which grows faster. "When the lid is lifted, the seeds treated with organic fertiliser seem to have grown into small plants but those treated with synthetic fertiliser have not grown at all," he says. "And then I explain why and how it is done." He says most among the audience return home convinced that organic is the way to go. Mr Kushwaha himself learnt the benefits of organic farming in 2001 from a training camp held in his village by a non-governmental organisation. He says moving to organic farming changed his fortunes: he grows rice, wheat and more recently, medicinal plants on his farm and yields are high. Once a poor farmer who could not even afford two daily meals for his family, he now owns a double-storey house, has a beautiful kitchen garden with decorative lights and flowers, a cow, a colour television, a computer and printer and a motorbike. "I couldn't go to school, but I sent my children to school for a proper education," he says. "It was all made possible once I started organic farming on my two-acre plot of agricultural land," he says. "And, now my only mission in life is to promote organic farming." The idea to promote organic farming with magic shows came to him in 2003 when "at a village agriculture fair I saw a magician pulling in the crowds for his shows and keeping them interested for well over an hour with his tricks". "But when I approached the magician, he refused to teach me any tricks." Mr Kushwaha did not lose hope and went to meet Ram Ratan Sharma, a famous magician in his area. While he farmed his land during the day, he learnt magic at night, picking up more than 500 tricks in two years. "The villagers and even my own family members said I was mad but I kept on," he says. In 2005, Mr Kushwaha conducted over two dozen magic shows in his village to convince farmers of the benefits of organic farming. A year later, Govindpur - a village of 150 households with a population of over 1,200 - was declared the first organic village in the state by the Bihar government. Soon, the government-run State Bank of India adopted the village to provide all facilities to the farmers as they moved to organic farming. An unlettered farmer who could barely write his name in Hindi, Mr Kushwaha has now been felicitated by several institutions, politicians and local organisations for his "unique experiment of farming with magic". Today, he gives tips to farmers on how to make organic fertiliser to increase the soil fertility and better their yield. Farmers Shankar Ram and Rajdeo Singh are all praise for Mr Kushwaha who has done the village proud with his sheer "dedication and determination to convert all of us to organic farming". Says agriculture expert UK Sharma: "Mr Kushwaha has cast his magic spell on the farmers of the area." At present though, Mr Kushwaha is worried about the depleting number of cows and buffaloes in the village which, he says, may hamper the move towards organic farming. Cow dung and urine provide valuable fertiliser for organic farming. "Cattle rearing has become quite expensive these days so many people are moving away from it and migrating from villages to find jobs in the cities," he says. "But then, there is always a new trick in science and magic."

A farmer in the northern Indian state of Bihar is using magic shows to promote organic farming, Amarnath Tewary reports from Govindpur village in Muzaffarpur district.

Summarize the following article: Enda Dolan, 18, from County Tyrone, was in his first term at Queen's University when he was struck by a van on Belfast's Malone Road in October 2014. David Stewart, 31, of Gray's Park Avenue, admitted a series of charges linked to the teenager's death. He was sentenced to seven years - three-and-a-half years in prison and the same on licence - last April. During his trial, the court heard that Stewart, who had consumed drink and drugs before driving his van, drove with the teenager on the roof of his van for about 800 yards before he stopped. The court was told that the 13 drinks Stewart consumed included six pints of beer and four Jagerbombs - a mix of a spirit and an energy drink. Traces of drugs, including cocaine, were also found in his system. On Monday, following an appeal, the Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan increased the time Stewart would spend in prison by one year. Making the ruling, he said: "Nothing this court can do can turn the clock back. "What happened was senseless needless and entirely avoidable."

A drunk driver who knocked down and killed a student has had his sentenced increased by one year.

Summarize the following article: Kim Briggs, 44, was hit while crossing the road in east London last year. Matthew Briggs has criticised the "fetishism" of cyclists riding fixed gear bikes with no front brake and is calling for a change in the law. It comes a day after Charlie Alliston, 20, was found guilty of causing bodily harm by "wanton or furious driving". Alliston, who was cleared of manslaughter, was riding a fixed gear bike with no front brakes when he hit the mum-of-two. She suffered "catastrophic" head injuries and died a week later in hospital. Mr Briggs told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he was campaigning for a change in the law because "sometimes in life you have to step up and do the right thing". He called for cycling to be incorporated into the Road Traffic Act with the creation of new offences, such as causing death by dangerous cycling, death by careless cycling and causing serious injury. Mr Briggs described his wife as the "most wonderful woman, the most fun loving woman". He said he was launching a campaign for a change in the law to honour his wife, and to "try and stop another family having to go through what we have had to go through". "I've lived in London for 28 years. I cycle in London, this is not a witch-hunt against cyclists." "This is dealing with a specific issue of reckless cyclists and also those people who choose to ride fixed wheel bikes without the front brake." Mr Briggs said riding fixed gear bikes with no front brakes was a fashion statement bordering on fetishism. To those who rode bikes without a front brake, he said: "I would just urge them to read my story. To understand what happened to my wife, mother of two, the most wonderful woman, the most fun loving woman who went out to work and didn't come back. "Why would you take that risk with somebody else's life? And even at the most selfish why would you endanger yourself?" Asked on BBC Radio 5 live how his children were coping with the loss of their mother, Mr Briggs said: "My children are amazing. My children are the reason I get up every single morning. They are resilient, they are funny, they are full of life. "They are an absolutely credit to their mother who brought them up with joy, with laughter, with compassion and I'll do the same. They are the reason I'm doing this. I just love them from the bottom of my heart." Alliston was charged with an admittedly archaic offence - but it is the closest to dangerous driving a cyclist can be charged with. Unlike a dangerous cycling charge, causing GBH by wanton and furious driving takes into account injury. It may sound slightly eccentric, but perhaps it is down to its wording which was coined in 1861. Introduced under the Offences Against the Person Act, the charge was created to deter people from driving horse carriages recklessly. It is now used when it is not possible to prosecute under the Road Traffic Act 1988 - ie, when the vehicle in the crime was not mechanically propelled - and in cases of serious injury or death caused by a cyclist's actions. It carries a maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine. Previous successful prosecutions under the offence include those against cyclists Darryl Gittoes and Darren Hall, who both knocked down pedestrians who later died.

The husband of a woman who was knocked down and killed by a cyclist has urged "reckless" riders to learn from his wife's death.

Summarize the following article: James Fenton, 22, left his ward at the Ulster Hospital in July 2010. His body was found in hospital grounds 10 weeks later, less than 40 metres away. Mr Fenton's grandfather said he climbed a fence to search an area that police officers had not searched. The coroner asked a police superintendent who was giving evidence how trained Tactical Support Group officers failed to carry out a successful search in that area on the same day. The officer observed that a controversial decision had been made to search to "a natural boundary". Earlier, the superintendent told the inquest the PSNI had changed its policy and practices on missing persons, as a direct result of the case. In 2013 the Police Ombudsman issued a report critical of the way the police had handled the case, and 12 officers were subsequently disciplined. During his evidence, the officer issued an apology to the Fenton family for the way the police had handled the search for James. The inquest also heard on Thursday from an expert in psychiatry that he had concerns about James' care. Giving evidence by video link, Professor Seena Fazel, a forensic psychiatrist at Oxford University, repeated the views of a report he wrote for the Coroner's Office in March 2015, and stated that he had "a number of concerns about Mr Fenton's medical care". In it, he said he believed that James was likely to have been clinically depressed, that he should have been diagnosed as such on assessment at the ward, and that he should have been monitored more closely. "I do not think that placing Mr Fenton on routine observation was an appropriate decision," he said. He also repeated his belief that James most likely took his own life. He further stated he felt that the junior doctor who first assessed Mr Fenton should have discussed her findings and actions formally with senior psychiatric colleagues. She has previously told the court she did have an informal conversation with senior colleagues about what she had done. On Wednesday, two other senior consultant psychiatrists told the court they disagreed with Professor Fazel's conclusions. They were Dr Nial Quigley, the Director of Mental Health services at the South Eastern Trust, and Dr Neta Chada, a consultant psychiatrist at the neighbouring Southern Trust. Both doctors' evidence supported the diagnosis and level of observation chosen by the clinical staff at the Ulster Hospital. Professor Fazel told a barrister for the Fenton family that in one matter, Dr Quigley had "cherry-picked a lot of evidence that supported his view". Coroner Joe McCriskin is due to deliver his findings on Friday.

The grandfather of a man who died after leaving a hospital ward searched an area close to where his body was found 10 weeks before the police did, an inquest has heard.

Summarize the following article: The 30-year-old Briton, who is also the world champion, is "really frustrated" but wants to be "100% ready" to defend her Olympic title in Rio in August. The indoor season begins in Glasgow on 20 February. "My priority has always been Rio and I don't want to take any risks in the short term," said Ennis-Hill. "I am understandably frustrated but know this is the right approach." Ennis-Hill struggled with an Achilles problem in 2013 and missed the World Championships in Moscow that year. She also missed the entire 2014 season as she gave birth to her son. Ennis-Hill returned to training in the autumn of that year and went on to win heptathlon gold at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing. Have you added the new Top Story alerts in the BBC Sport app?

Summarize the following article: Renee and Andrew MacRae, who was three, vanished on 12 November 1976. Mrs MacRae's burned-out BMW was discovered that night in a lay-by on the A9 south of Inverness. In statement, the family said it was "collectively heartbroken" the pair remained missing 40 years on but were still hopeful of finding answers. Police Scotland said an investigation into their disappearance remained ongoing. On the evening of her disappearance Mrs MacRae, 36, had set off to meet her lover Bill McDowell in Perth but he insisted they never met. There has been speculation that Renee MacRae and her son were murdered and their bodies buried at either a quarry or at construction works for the A9. In 2004, police searched nearby Dalmagarry quarry but no bodies were found. Two years later a report naming a suspect who may have killed the pair was sent to prosecutors but they decided there was insufficient evidence to take action. It has been reported recently that "an anomaly" has been detected by ground penetrating radar in the foundations of a bridge near the lay-by where the car was found. However, Police Scotland said its inquiries indicated construction work did not start in this area until some time after Mrs MacRae's disappearance. The force said it would nonetheless liaise with contractors involved in the current A9 upgrade in an effort to explain the radar anomaly. In their newly released statement, the family said: "Forty years have passed since the disappearance of Renee and Andrew and as a family we remain collectively heartbroken to have lost a much loved and cherished mother, sister, brother and friend to many. "We cannot give up hope that somebody holds information which could help lead us to the answers as to what happened to our beloved Renee and Andrew. "Our message is it is never too late. We are confident these answers will come from the local community and as a family we urge that person to come forward - until such time the person who caused harm to Renee and Andrew will continue to escape justice and we will be without closure." Det Supt Jim Smith, of Police Scotland's Major Investigations Team North, said: "As in all cases such as these, there is a family quite rightly seeking answers and closure. "We are determined to do all we can to find those answers, and to that end continue to maintain contact with the family of Christine MacRae and Andrew MacRae as the years go on. "The passage of time is no barrier and we continue to urge anyone who may have information that could assist the investigation to come forward."

The family of an Inverness mother and her young son have said they are heartbroken that their disappearance remains unexplained 40 years on.

Summarize the following article: Roedd cais Remi Lamaret wedi rhoi'r Ffrancwyr ar y blaen ar yr egwyl, ond fe aeth Cymru ar y blaen yn yr ail hanner diolch i gicio cywir Leigh Halfpenny. Parhaodd Les Bleus i bwyso yn y munudau olaf, gyda Samson Lee ac yna Dan Biggar yn cael cardiau melyn wrth i'r crysau cochion droseddu dro ar ôl tro i'w hatal. Ond croesodd Damien Chouly i sicrhau na fyddai tîm Rob Howley yn gorffen eu hymgyrch yn y Chwe Gwlad eleni ar nodyn uchel. Fe aeth cic gosb gyntaf y gêm i Ffrainc, ond cafodd Cymru ddihangfa wrth i ymdrech Camille Lopez o 45 metr ddod o fewn trwch blewyn i gyrraedd y pyst. Daeth y pwyntiau'n fuan wedyn, wrth i gic Lopez dros yr amddiffyn gael ei chasglu'n dwt a'i thirio gan Lamerat dan y pyst. Parhaodd y tîm cartref i bwyso, ac fe gafodd y bwlch ei ymestyn i ddeg pwynt gan Lopez wedi i Gymru gael eu cosbi am ddymchwel y sgrym. Ond yna cafodd asgellwr Ffrainc, Virimi Vakatawa gerdyn melyn am daro'r bêl ymlaen wrth atal pas Biggar rhag cyrraedd George North am gais hawdd, ac fe drosodd Halfpenny ei bwyntiau cyntaf o'r prynhawn o'r gic gosb canlynol. Ychwanegodd Halfpenny dri phwynt arall yn absenoldeb Vakatawa, cyn trosi am y trydydd gwaith funudau cyn yr egwyl i gau'r bwlch i bwynt. Llwyddodd Cymru i wrthsefyll pwysau yn eu 22ain eu hunain ar ddechrau'r ail hanner, cyn i drosedd gan Ffrainc ar y llinell hanner ganiatáu i Halfpenny gicio Cymru ar y blaen am y tro cyntaf. Yn dilyn rhagor o bwysau gan y crysau cochion llwyddodd y cefnwr gyda'i bumed gic gosb o'r prynhawn ac ymestyn y fantais i bum pwynt gyda chwarter awr yn weddill. Tarodd Ffrainc yn ôl yn syth gydag ail gic cosb gan Lopez, cyn i Halfpenny ymestyn y fantais i bum pwynt unwaith eto ar ôl tacl uchel ar Ken Owens. Treuliodd y Les Bleus weddill yr ornest yn gwthio'n galed ar linell gais Cymru, gan roi sgrym yr ymwelwyr dan bwysau cynyddol. Cyrhaeddodd y cloc 94 o funudau yn dilyn ciciau cosb niferus i'r tîm cartref, ac oedi wrth i'r dyfarnwr teledu weld a oedd un o chwaraewyr Ffrainc wedi brathu braich North. Roedd Cymru hefyd yn gynddeiriog bod Ffrainc wedi eilyddio'r prop Uini Atonio gydag anaf honedig, gan awgrymu mai rhesymau tactegol yn hytrach oedd y rheswm am y newid. Ac fe ddaeth y cais o'r diwedd wedi bron i 100 munud o chwarae wrth i Chouly groesi o'r sgarmes, gyda throsiad Lopez yn cipio'r fuddugoliaeth. Mae'r canlyniad yn golygu y bydd Cymru'n gorffen yn bumed ym Mhencampwriaeth y Chwe Gwlad eleni, ar ôl colli tair o'u pum gêm.

Fe gymrodd hi bron i 100 munud o chwarae yn Stade de France cyn i Ffrainc gipio buddugoliaeth ddramatig yn erbyn Cymru yn y Chwe Gwlad.

Summarize the following article: FHM was launched in 1985 under the title For Him Magazine. Zoo was launched in 2004. An online statement from publisher Bauer Media read: "Unfortunately it's true and it has been announced today the intention to suspend publication of FHM." The statement added that it had been "an absolute joy producing the magazine over the years". "Thank you for all your support, we will keep you updated with developments over the coming weeks." During the 1990s, FHM dominated the men's market and was published in 27 countries, including Pakistan and India. It claimed that its annual poll of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World "helped propel the careers of many well-known actresses, musicians and models". The magazine industry has been particularly vulnerable to online competition, and "lads' magazines" have been struggling to hold on to their readers. In the last 10 years, FHM's circulation has fallen from about 500,000 to below 100,000. In the last 12 months, rivals Nuts and Loaded have both closed their doors. The publishers said: "Men's media habits have continually moved towards mobile and social." However, it did not specifically blame the online market for its closure. It said that FHM and Zoo had a combined digital audience of more than five million.

UK men's magazines FHM and Zoo have said they are halting publication.

Summarize the following article: A councillor in Truro, Cornwall , said it was "like a war out there" with violence breaking out between commuters and residents over parking spaces. The council said the parking rows were "detrimental to the quality of peoples' lives" and hoped the review would "ease the tension". Cornwall Council is launching a public consultation ahead of coming up with new plans across the county. Cllr Fiona Ferguson, Conservative, said drivers were arriving early in the morning to lay claim to street parking and eating breakfast in their cars before throwing the remains out of the window. She said: "It's like a war out there. Violence has broken out." Jo Greenslade, from the Kenwyn area of Truro, said she and other residents had been campaigning for seven years to get permit parking. She says her car has been damaged on several occasions by non-residents squeezing into parking spaces. The Cornwall Council study, by consultants WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff, will look at issues such as residents' parking permits, car park prices and disabled parking. Bert Biscoe, cabinet member for transport, said: "It is detrimental to the quality of peoples' lives that they are so wound up about where they will park. "These surveys are trying to find out how we can manage traffic better and ease that tension."

Damage to cars and battles over spaces have prompted a major parking review.
