Summarize the following article: Eight of the GB boxing team reached Friday's semi-finals in Ukraine, guaranteeing medals in the process. Galal Yafai (49kg), Peter McGrail (56kg), Luke McCormack (64kg) and Cheavon Clarke (91kg) won through. Niall Farrell (52kg), Pat McCormack (69kg), Calum French (60kg) and Frazer Clarke (+91kg) won later on Wednesday. The GB Boxing team have got a new Olympic cycle of athletes with the majority of the Rio 2016 fighters now professional or set to turn pro. Only Yafai and McCormack have experience at an international tournament yet the squad still outperformed the six-medal haul achieved at the 2015 European Championships. "This young team are developing well considering the Tokyo Olympics are just over three years away," said Team GB performance director Rob McCracken, who is Anthony Joshua's coach. "The challenge for the boxers and the team is to try to turn those medals into a silver or a gold. It has been a tremendous showing out here and bodes well for the future." All 10 of the squad qualified for the World Championships in Hamburg, Germany, in August, courtesy of reaching the quarter-finals in Kharkiv. Only Lee McGregor (56kg) and Tom Whittaker-Hart (81kg) of the British squad failed to reach the semi-finals. Scotland's Sean Lazzerini (81kg) and Aqeel Ahmed (49kg) were beaten in the last eight but consequently secured places at August's Worlds. Clarke at heavyweight was impressive as he knocked out Abdulkadir Abdullayev of Azerbaijan in round one of their quarter-final. Yafai, McGrail, Pat McCormack and Farrell all claimed every round in their wins. Victories for both McCormack twins and French ensures Gateshead's Birtley ABC Gym has three fighters still in the competition. Those through to the semi-finals will compete on Friday, live on the BBC Red Button, with finals taking place on Sunday.

British boxers made history at the European Championships by guaranteeing more medals than ever before in the competition's 90-year history.

Summarize the following article: James Stutter, 37, admitted to a jury he "had a great idea" to make it after seeing the show, in which a chemistry teacher builds a methamphetamine lab. However, he denied he was actually trying to make the drug in his Hemel Hempstead flat. He was convicted and given a two-year suspended jail term. Sentencing him, Recorder Leslie Cuthbert told him he was "stupid". St Albans Crown Court heard that when police raided Stutter's flat in March 2014, they found a recipe for the drug written by his girlfriend Eleanor Hunt. Ingredients including lithium drained from batteries, Epsom salts and paraphernalia such as a coffee grinder, all of which could be used in drug production, were also seized. More news from Hertfordshire The couple both denied a charge of attempting to make methamphetamine. During a trial last month the jury heard Stutter had been paying about £140 for a gram of the drug and thought it would be cheaper to manufacture his own. His defence team argued he had not actually begun manufacturing anything. Prosecuting, Roxanne Aisthorpe told the jury: "You may have seen the TV series Breaking Bad. That laboratory was quite professional. That was not what happened in this case." Ms Hunt was cleared of the charge but Stutter was convicted. He admitted two further charges of possessing drugs with intent to supply. Recorder Cuthbert told Stutter: "It is a sign of your stupidity that you watched a TV programme about methamphetamine and thought you could manufacture it." He added: "You are 37 and should know better by this age."

Summarize the following article: At first glance, the ramshackle fishing port of Eyl looked much like it did in 2009, when I first drove down a narrow canyon from the surrounding plateau, accompanied by armed security guards, and walked across the white sands towards the sea. But this time, the hijacked vessels moored offshore were gone - so too were the conspicuously expensive 4 x 4 vehicles with tinted windows that we had seen racing past us. "We knew it was wrong. But we did it anyway," said Farah, a man in his 30s, who walked across the beach to show me his fishing boat. He admitted he had been a shore-based pirate leader in Eyl, running a crew of 23 men who had hijacked a Turkish fishing boat and a South Korean cargo vessel in 2008. "They dropped the ransoms from a small plane into the sea," he explained - $1.8m and $2m (£1.3m) in turn. "We spent it, or gave it away. The religious leaders and the government persuaded us to stop. I would never become a pirate again. I am just an ordinary fisherman now," he said, although that seemed at odds with his noticeably expensive clothes. As we spoke, local officials at the edge of the village were marshalling a crowd. They started to chant slogans - mostly aimed at foreign fishing trawlers, which they said were plundering Somalia's coastal resources, and making it impossible for them to make a living from fishing. If the protest seemed a little contrived, the frustrations in Eyl are certainly not. I joined a group of men in the local teashop, who bitterly condemned the lack of development, and employment. "If I don't get a job soon, then yeah, sure, maybe I can go back to piracy. Anything can happen. All these people can be pirates," said unemployed teacher Daoud Ali Mohamed, 28, gesturing around the room. For years it has been an accepted truth that in the long term, Somali piracy can only be conclusively dealt with onshore. The foreign warships patrolling off the coast - and the armed guards now present on many vessels - have been effective, but the pirates "are not dead, but dormant now, so they will come definitely... straight away, no question about it [as soon as the warships leave]," said Puntland's Counter-Piracy Minister Abdalla Jama Saleh. Find out more about Puntland Four hours drive away from Eyl, in Puntland's capital, Garowe, a brand new prison is the most visible sign of the outside world's attempt to fight piracy ashore. The UK is among a group of European nations that paid for its construction. "It's already reduced piracy. It helped young people to see that other colleagues are in prison... for long, long sentences. It's a warning signal. And it is to rehabilitate inmates," said Abdirizak Jama, from the United Nation's Office on Drugs and Crime. But although the prison looks clean and impressively secure - a particularly important advantage in a region where prisons raids and escapes are commonplace - the 17 convicted pirates I saw all appeared to be "foot soldiers" rather than pirate leaders. "I do not deserve to be here," said 20-year-old Yusuf Galgal, who'd been caught at sea and put on trial in the Seychelles. "I was underage when I was sentenced." The cells also contained a number of convicted members of the militant group al-Shabab, including Aweil Ali Farah, 27, who was sentenced to death. "I was a school teacher. Someone had a grudge against me and told the police. I'm not in al-Shabab. They're terrorists, fundamentalists, Islamists. I'm waiting for the death penalty. I'm worried," he said, showing where he'd written: "There is no justice here," on his red prison uniform. In his heavily guarded compound on a nearby hilltop, Puntland's President Abdiweli Ali Gaas urged the international community to do much more, both onshore and at sea. Accusing the west of "double standards," the president said foreign navies were only concerned about stopping Somali piracy - which more or less halted in 2012 - and were doing nothing to tackle the "highway robbery" of foreign fishing trawlers [largely Iranian] plundering Somalia's natural resources. "This may rekindle the issue of piracy," President Abdiweli warned. But the issue is complicated. After decades of internal conflict, Somalia is still struggling to negotiate the terms of its reintegration as a nation-state. Different administrations have been issuing fishing licenses, and while Puntland believes it is currently being cheated of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues, there are deep concerns about corruption. "There's uncertainty between the federal government [of Somalia] and regions [like Puntland] for fishing companies regarding the validity of licenses and who to buy from," said Alan Cole, who heads the UNODC's anti-piracy programme in East Africa. Puntland now has its own well-trained Maritime Police Force, funded by the UAE. But it is far too small to patrol even a portion of Somalia's coastline - the longest on the continent.

In northern Somalia, government officials are warning of a revival of piracy, unless foreign nations - and the naval armada patrolling the coast - do more to help create jobs and security ashore, and to combat illegal fishing at sea.

Summarize the following article: The Russian-made Mi-171 came down while on a reconnaissance mission in Tamanrasset region, some 2,000km (1,200 miles) from the capital, Algiers. The helicopter apparently experienced technical failure, but the exact cause of the crash is yet to be established, the ministry added. Critics say Algeria has a poor aircraft safety record. In 2014, 77 people were killed in a military plane crash. Two military aircrafts collided during a training exercise in 2012, killing both pilots. The reason for the helicopter's mission is not clear but militant Islamists are active in Algeria. In 2014, Vietnam grounded its entire fleet of Mi-171 helicopters after a crash near the capital, Hanoi, killed 18 soldiers.

A military helicopter has crashed in southern Algeria, killing 12 soldiers, the defence ministry has said.

Summarize the following article: The poet is described as "shy and retiring" in a previously unseen memoir written by the Thomas family's GP. Prof John Goodby, of Swansea University, who discovered the documents, said they confirmed the poet's life in Wales "wasn't sensational". "He was fairly modest, he was sober," said Prof Goodby. The memoir belonged to Dr David Mendelssohn Hughes, Thomas' doctor in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. "He was respectful of the doctor and other authority figures and there was absolutely no womanising while he was living in Laugharne," said Prof Goodby. "He had regular routines of visiting his mother and father every morning, doing the shopping, going to Brown's Hotel for a couple of pints and returning to the Boathouse to work for four hours or so." While the memoir praises Thomas' character, it pours scorn on the behaviour of his wife, Caitlin, who is labelled a "first-class bitch". Meanwhile, a letter written by Thomas to the landlord of a pub in Laugharne has also appeared for the first time. Dated 8 November 1950, Thomas asks after the welfare of a pig he and the landlord were hoping to fatten up for Christmas. He writes that he is hoping for "a beautiful piggy Christmas" ahead of a trip to Persia in the new year. The Doctor on Dylan Thomas "The whole of the time that Dylan lives in Laugharne there has never been a breath of scandal involving Dylan with other women! With admiration of local females, married and unmarried, there surely existed opportunity for unfaithfulness but Dylan can be absolved absolutely from this. "His capacity for drink was very limited compared with the average 'hearty'. He couldn't drink very much - three or four pints was his absolute limit - his daily limit was two pints in Brown's and on weekends with Phil in the Cross House. He never drank spirits, but in that last trip to America - described in that tragic book by John Brinnin - he undoubtedly posed as a hard drinking genius who could absorb whiskey and this cost him his life." On Caitlin Thomas "(Caitlin) is a nymphomaniac and a first-class bitch! What Dylan had to endure through her physical attraction and sexual prowess nobody knows - and I will not countenance any criticism of Dylan's shortcomings and beery excesses when they occurred without taking into account what he must have endured from Caitlin. "On Xmas Eve after his death when his mother came to stay at the boat house for Xmas, she came home tight from the Browns with one of her local boyfriends - put on the gramophone and did a striptease in front of the children and Dylan's mother. "I wonder did Dylan towards the end find life so heartbreaking that he deliberately went on drinking American whisky so as not to return??" On Thomas' mother "When his coffin came home from America and rested in his mother's house, no mother was prouder. I was glad that she lived to see him honoured by that magnificent performance of Under Milk Wood in Laugharne... But when the curtain dropped on that last performance on the Saturday night Dylan's mother died - just at that moment... She died rejoicing." Caerphilly-born Dr Hughes - who died in London in 1981 - was based in St Clears and had met the Thomas family in 1938. He was Dylan's doctor until his death in 1953. He was also a keen oil painter and friends with Richard Burton. He wrote the 26-page memoir at the request of the son of a family friend in the 1960s - a student at Cambridge. It resurfaced after former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams, whose love of Thomas' work started in school in Swansea, was told about it at a college reunion last year. Prof Goodby said the memoir portrayed Thomas as "the victim" in his relationship with his wife. "It says more negative things about Caitlin, who he sees as a disruptive force. He calls her 'fast' at one point - rather an old-fashioned word - but the mildest of the words he used about her. "He sees her as one of Dylan's main problems and he surmises that this might be what pushed Dylan to indulge excessively when he went to America; that there was a kind of death wish there because of the collapse of his marriage to Caitlin. "But elsewhere in the memoir what we get is the picture of a happy family man. A contented writer, somebody who was getting on with the business of writing the great poems that he produced at the end of his life." Dr Hughes' memoir also details the death of Thomas' mother, Florence, in 1958 following a performance of her son's play Under Milk Wood. It states she "died rejoicing" after the performance in Laugharne, which took place five years after her son's death in New York. Prof Goodby said Thomas turned increasingly to alcohol during his visits to the USA, and the persistence of his notorious reputation was fuelled by the public's appetite. "People don't want poets to be boring, it's as simple as that. They like their poets to be excessive and inspired by some kind of divine force. They want to see them acting out their own fantasies, perhaps being excessive on their behalf. "It's comforting to see a poet, somebody who is a genius, have foibles and have failings like oneself."

Newly-discovered documents have cast doubt on Dylan Thomas' reputation as a hard-drinking womaniser.

Summarize the following article: Resham Khan was celebrating her 21st birthday with her cousin Jameel Muhktar when acid was thrown at them through their car window in Beckton, east London, on 21 June. A total of £55,953 has been raised and Ms Khan has backed a petition due to be sent to the home secretary calling for acid sales to be restricted by licence. John Tomlin, 24, has been charged. A GoFundMe page was set up in the wake of the attack with the aim of reaching £30,000. Ms Khan, a business management student, has also received messages of support on Twitter, with some calling her an "inspiration". End of Twitter post by @angie_vredeveld In a letter, she explained why she supported the petition, which has gained more than 360,000 signatures, calling for a change in the law. "My plans are in pieces, my pain is unbearable and I write this letter in hospital whilst I patiently wait for the return of my face," she wrote. "Currently, I have two main priorities: to make a full recovery and to make sure no-one ever goes through the living nightmare I have endured. "I refuse to allow the country I grew up in simply to get used to corrosive substance attacks. "I can't dwell on the past but what I can do is help build a better future, one without attacks like these." Assaults involving corrosive substances have more than doubled in England since 2012. On Monday, East Ham Labour MP Stephen Timms is leading a Parliamentary debate on acid attacks. He said: "I will press ministers to consider licensing the sale of corrosive liquids to combat the surge in acid attacks." London has seen the biggest increase in attacks, with a quarter taking place in the borough of Newham, he added. The Met Police said it was aware of a growing trend in assaults using corrosive liquids. The force advises retailers and parents to question why young people are buying these substances over the counter. Personal trainer Sarmad Ismail started the change.org petition calling for corrosive substances to be purchased under licence only in England. He said: "I really empathise with the victims and their families. What if it happened to me or my friends and family? I couldn't stand that. It has got to stop. "I think there's a chance now because of political momentum, that if we come together we can get something done about this." 208 Violence against the person 38 caused serious injuries, 1 was fatal 118 robberies 10 of which left victims with serious injuries 2 sexual offences, including 1 rape He said there were legitimate reasons for buying acid but there should be tighter controls. The Met said it was working with retailers to raise awareness that people might be buying corrosive substances to use as weapons. Jaf Shah, of the charity Acid Survivors Trust International, said he wanted the government to go further and make it compulsory when purchasing corrosive chemicals to pay by card that was traceable to an individual and to make acid available only under licence.

More than £55,000 has been raised for two victims of an acid attack left with life-changing injuries.

Summarize the following article: Des Raj Kapur died in October 2013 after he was found severely dehydrated and barely conscious at the Burroughs Care Home in Hillingdon. A representative told West London Coroners Court it could not find records of any fluid and food given. His son Deepak Kapur said he was "angry" at his father's treatment. Mr Kapur said his father had been a "lovely man" who just cared about "tending to his family and his family's needs". "There have been shocking failures in his care." Prior to being admitted to the care home for the second time, Mr Kapur had become immobile and needed help washing, feeding and drinking, his son said. Mr Kapur said: "They were supposed to look after him and tend to all his needs". The coroner gave a narrative verdict which said a lack of fluid intake contributed to Mr Kapur's death in addition to the five illnesses he suffered from. Care UK said it "apologised wholeheartedly".

A lack of fluid intake contributed to the death of an 85-year-old man at a home he went to for two weeks' respite care, an inquest has found.

Summarize the following article: Once completed, the deal will see Micron become the world's second-largest maker of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips. These chips are key components of personal computers. Elpida had filed for bankruptcy protection in February after being unable to repay debts of 448bn yen. "We are creating the industry-leading pure-play memory company," said Mark Durcan chief executive of Micron Technology. Mr Durcan added that the deal will help strengthen the combined companies' market position "through increased research and development and manufacturing scale" and "improved access to core memory market segments". The deal will also see Micron get the ownership of Elpida's 65% stake in Rexchip Electronics, a joint venture between Elpida and Powerchip Technology. Rexchip, which also makes DRAM memory chips, has manufacturing facilities in Japan and Taiwan. Micron said that output from Elpida and Rexchip factories could increase its current manufacturing capacity by almost 50%. "We've always had deep requirements for additional capacity and this puts us in great shape to respond to that," said Mark Adams, president of Micron. At the same time, analysts said that given the high cost involved in setting up chip manufacturing units, Micron had acquired the Japanese rival for a fraction of the price it would need to invest to build similar infrastructure. "We estimate this manufacturing capability would cost roughly $6bn - $8bn if built new," said Kevin Cassidy an analyst at Stifel. DRAM chips manufacturers have been going through a rough patch in recent times due to falling prices and slowing demand. While Elpida filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year, Micron posted a net loss of $224m in the three months to 1 March, compared with a profit of $72m a year earlier. The traditional DRAM chips are used in personal computers, the demand for which has been falling amid growing popularity of smartphones and tablet PCs. Those gadgets mostly use NAND memory chips and that has hurt DRAM chip makers. However, Micron said Elpida had "built a strong presence in Mobile DRAM", chips targeted at mobile phones and tablet PCs, which should help it cater to growing demand from the sector. At the same time, analysts added that Micron may be able to use Elpida's manufacturing facilities to diversify its product range. "They have bought ability for increased flexibility on how they expand future capacity," said Doug Freedman an analyst with NBC Capital Markets.

Micron Technology has agreed a deal to buy embattled Japanese chipmaker Elpida in a deal worth 200bn yen ($2.5bn; £1.6bn).

Summarize the following article: The victims were all civilians, a government spokesman said. About 25 other people were injured, including three US service members. The attack on the group of military vehicles happened next to the US embassy during the morning rush hour. So-called Islamic State (IS) said it was behind the attack. The group has been in Afghanistan since 2015 and has claimed several attacks in the country recently. Two of the vehicles were badly damaged, along with several other passing cars, AFP reports. Windows were shattered up to several hundred metres away from the scene. The armoured personnel carriers, which are designed to resist large blasts, were able to return to a coalition base, the Nato-led Resolute Support mission said on Twitter. The wounded were in a stable condition with non-life threatening injuries, and were being treated at coalition medical facilities, it added. The attack comes three weeks after the US dropped its largest non-nuclear bomb, known as "the mother of all bombs", on a tunnel complex used by IS in Afghanistan, reportedly killing many militants. Meanwhile, the US is discussing whether to send more troops to Afghanistan, where militant groups have carried out numerous attacks recently.

A suicide attack on a convoy belonging to the Nato mission in Afghanistan has killed at least eight people in Kabul, officials say.

Summarize the following article: Scotland beating Wales was not a shock as such, but doing so with plenty to spare was a surprise. Italy were expected to be fodder for Eddie Jones' England at Twickenham on Sunday, but exploited the intricacies of the laws to throw a spanner in the works as the hosts spluttered to victory. Ireland's win over France was one for the purists, but keeps Joe Schmidt's side in contention for the title shake-up on the final day. Two simple things impressed me most in Scotland's win over Wales. Firstly, the mere fact that they won. There has been a lot of talk about how this young Scotland side stacks up against the teams of the past that won Five Nations titles and Triple Crowns. Previously, they have produced promising performances without the results. Now, though they are heading into the final two rounds still with a chance of lifting the title and completing a clean sweep of the home nations. Media playback is not supported on this device Secondly, was the manner in which they won. It was not a nail-biting finish. Instead there were choruses of Flower of Scotland rolling around Murrayfield in the final 10 minutes, as the home team went away with the match. They scored 20 unanswered points in the second half. In any hemisphere, at any level, that is a phenomenal performance. The forwards made up for the loss of the injured Josh Strauss' heavy-duty ball carrying though sheer industry though. John Barclay led through deed as captain and Hamish Watson was an absolute bundle of energy, while Huw Jones was elusive and quick in the centres, keeping the Wales midfield honest and allowing the wings space to score their tries. And Stuart Hogg stood out once again. He has superb acceleration, an eye for the gap and then the top-end speed to exploit it. But against Wales it was his game-awareness - the ability to invariably do the right thing - that was key. For Tommy Seymour's try he recognised that Huw Jones run had drawn the attention of the Wales defence and should be used as a decoy. For Tim Visser's, he realised that George North was coming up fast and that he had to get that pass across his body as fast as possible. After that win, talk inevitably turned to the Calcutta Cup match against England in a fortnight's time. Their best chance of attacking England is out wide. The catch is that they can't go there immediately. You have to keep the opposition defence narrow with big runners or decoy angles to create the space. Scotland have to put together a more complete performance than they have managed yet in the tournament. They have to play as well as they did in the first half against Ireland across a whole match. If not, they won't win. This was an incredibly disappointing weekend for Wales. Their performance was wonderful against England a fortnight ago, even if the result was not what they wanted. Media playback is not supported on this device But they backed it up with very little at Murrayfield. By interim coach Rob Howley's own admission their title hopes have gone. His selection for the next round against Ireland will show whether he is prioritising World Cups or saving face. Fly-half Sam Davies came on as a replacement and is the sort of player who suits an adventurous, ambitious style. But six minutes before he arrived on the pitch, Jamie Roberts had come on in the centres. Roberts brings great experience and can dominate the gainline and guarantee quick ball. But he is not the player to help Davies spread the ball wide. We don't know if Davies could work alongside the starting midfield of Jonathan Davies and Scott Williams. Now is the time to drop Dan Biggar and find out. Italy's tactics - not engaging at the breakdown, not providing England with an offside line to work with and putting players into the channel between Danny Care and his runners - were really well thought out and executed. England spent the first half flummoxed. However if Conor O'Shea's side had tried it against New Zealand, the All Blacks still would have sussed it out straight away. Media playback is not supported on this device Firstly because it is a tactic that their provincial Chiefs side have employed in Super Rugby, but secondly because their on-the-field problem-solving and mental agility is what sets them apart from the rest of world rugby. A better team than England would have adapted to it a lot quicker and I think England were embarrassed by the fact that it took until the second half for them to sort it out. We didn't get a look at what impact coach Eddie Jones' changes had. He brought Ben Te'o into the centres, gave Danny Care a chance to start at scrum half, but they never really got a chance to implement the patterns that they had been running in training. There were plus points. James Haskell was strong and industrious from his open-side flanker berth. Elliot Daly always seems to have time on the ball and that is a quality that sets good players apart. Second rows Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes were outstanding in their workrate. But there were concerns as well. Owen Farrell had an uncharacteristically poor game by his standards and Ireland and Scotland will have earmarked George Ford's fly-half channel as a potential weakness. After France attacked him and made metres in round two and Michele Campagnaro ran through him for Italy's second try at Twickenham. However getting heavy traffic through on collision course with Ford, with James Haskell patrolling a similar area, is harder in reality than in theory. As tight and competitive as this Test was, it was a defensive struggle that was not easy on the eye. France seemed to have more power, but lacked the collective team cohesion that Ireland have built over a number of years under Joe Schmidt. Media playback is not supported on this device Ireland did what was required to win and France, for all their power, never really threatened to wrestle the game from them. What Schmidt will have been disappointed by is that Ireland should have made it easier. They had a few multi-phase passages of play near the France line which they failed to convert into scores. Good teams make those count. That is a big coaching challenge of modern rugby. It can become so frenetic and hectic. Nobody seems to be able to take the game by the scruff of the neck, have the clarity of thought to see where the opportunity is and have the skills to seize it. Centre Garry Ringrose looked promising again, making a few half breaks and cutting back against the drift defence. I would like to see him in a game and a backline with more fluency though to assess his ability to straighten though a hole and turn half-breaks into full ones. This is my third-round Lions XV, based on the form shown over the weekend. Jeremy Guscott was speaking to BBC Sport's Mike Henson.

Just when you think you have the Six Nations pegged, it confounds expectations once again.

Summarize the following article: The country applied to join the EU in 2009, but dropped the application last year. A key factor, said Gunnar Bragi Sveinsson, was the desire to retain control over fishing grounds. The nation now has one of the most modern and productive fishing industries in the world. However, while bigger companies on the island are flourishing, the small-scale fleet is shrinking. Some fear traditional fishing methods may die out altogether. In an office overlooking the factory floor of Visir Fisheries in Grindavik in south-western Iceland, computer-generated images of cod fillets glide across a computer screen. This is one of the most advanced fish processing factories in the world. The workers tend to a machine that sizes up each fish and slices it with a laser-accurate water jet. It can produce one perfectly shaped fillet each second. Manager Johann Helgason points at one of the pale shapes passing by on his screen. "That's a pin bone." The robot will make sure it goes back for the tiny offender - just a few millimetres long - to be removed. "The standardisation of the portions is more or less perfect," Mr Helgason says. "It maximises the value of each single piece that goes through." Many of these flawless fillets will end up being eaten in the UK. Iceland's biggest market is Europe and inside the EU the largest market is Britain. All parts of the fish are used. "Our goal is to increase the value of those by-products," says Mr Helgason. "We are using biotechnology to try to find materials in the fish skin or the eye, or the head - like enzymes or collagen. We want to go more into pharmaceutical or food supplements." This £30m factory is at the cutting-edge of fish processing. Would they be in this position if Iceland were within the EU? Mr Helgason is sceptical. "We have full control of the industry here in Iceland. We decide the catch and the rules. This makes us very quick to react if something needs to change, which is why we are very competitive." Iceland forms part of the European Economic Area along with Norway and Lichtenstein. They get market access for fewer obligations: Iceland has to take in 15-20% of EU rules into its own legal framework. Mr Helgason does not feel that Visir would gain much from being in Europe. "We are completely independent. It's up to us who we want to deal with and what kind of relationship we have with each country. This gives us an advantage." The fishing industry is based on a quota system. To keep fish stocks sustainable and protect the marine ecosystem, scientists from the Icelandic Marine Research Institute continually monitor Icelandic waters and provide this data to the government. This guidance is followed to help set limits on the amount of fish that can be caught. As under the Common Fisheries Policy, this quota can be bought and sold. The Fisheries Ministry is the most powerful department in the Icelandic government. Dressed in an impeccable suit Minister Gunnar Bragi Sveinsson sits at a polished circular table in his office overlooking Reykjavik harbour. He is blunt. "I would never join the European Union," he says. "There is a life outside it, as we have proven. We have one of the biggest and one of the strongest fisheries in the world that is sustainable without any subsidies from the state. "We don't have to share this decision-making with anyone else. It would be difficult for Icelanders to control their economic and fisheries sector having the obligation to discuss it with 27 or 28 other countries." The 10 biggest families in Iceland control 50-60% of the quota. Gunnar Tomasson is director of another fishing giant: Thorfish. He stands on the harbour wall watching 25,000 tonnes of fish being unloaded from one of his ships after a five day-trip. "Today the fishing stocks are sustainable and we are controlling them very well. But inside the European Union, it is totally the other way around. They are not controlling it; they are overfishing their stocks and they are even paying subsidies to their industry. We do not want to go into the European Union." However, the fact that Iceland is in charge of its own fish stocks does not mean that all fishermen are happy with the system. There is criticism of the centralisation of power: the fact that a large company can own a factory, own a vessel and also own the quota. One industry insider who did not want to be named likens this to a "mafia". Since 1984, the number of people working in the industry has gone down by half. Smaller boats are struggling - just as they are in the UK. In Sandgerdi, Halldor Armannsson and his 80-year-old father heave a tub of frozen mackerel and squid from an ancient freezer hut across a cracked patio and into a rundown shed. The bait is hacked up and pressed down on hooks attached to long lines that will run behind their boat. This family has been fishing these Arctic waters in this way for 400 years. Currently, their business supports five families. Mr Armannsson could be better protected under European rules. Reforms to the Common Fisheries policy mean these businesses - with their sustainable fishing methods - should be prioritised when quota is handed out. Mr Armannsson says: "The small fishermen are dying out. Three years ago, we had about 600 boats line- and hook-fishing. Now, we have just 200. The bigger boats buy the quota and once it is lost they can't get it back. The smaller fleet just can't compete." He says that people have to move to where the large fish factories are and so fishing in the smaller Icelandic villages is dying out. "The control of the fisheries is what I am afraid of. I don't see how the government is putting younger people into this industry." However, the globalisation of the Icelandic fishing industry is picking up speed. The Asian market is growing. A delegation from China arrives to look around the Visir factory and moves on to inspect the scientific research vessel moored in Reykjavik harbour. Hjortur Gislason who has reported on the fishing industry for decades says: "Of course, the quota system means that fishing rights accumulate into fewer hands, but when you want to run an industry that contributes to your economy then that's the way you do it. The fishing fleet is paying huge amounts of money to the state for fishing rights and this is contributing to the people in Iceland. "There will never be peace in fisheries management because there is not enough for everybody."

Iceland's fishing minister has said the country would "never join the European Union" because the country is thriving outside.

Summarize the following article: Moments after Lincoln's Matt Rhead headed against the post, Mitch Hancox's dipping shot put the Silkmen ahead. But Hawkridge responded, pouncing on a loose ball after Scott Flinders failed to hold Lee Angol's initial shot. Paul Farman made two crucial second-half saves before Hawkridge's second assured the National League title. The winger's low curled finish into the far corner delivered Lincoln their first league crown since winning the same competition in 1988. And it came with huge relief, after Imps goalkeeper Farman kept Chris Holroyd's acrobatic effort out before foiling Hancox from close range. Oliver Norburn may even have spoiled the party in stoppage time had he not guided a superb headed chance wide. Promotion caps off a truly remarkable season for the Imps, juggling National League title ambitions with an FA Cup run which saw them become the first non-league side to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in 103 years. While they were dumped out of the Cup by Premier League side Arsenal, and their exit from the FA Trophy followed seven days later in March, that disappointment failed to affect their promotion hopes. Twelve games in six weeks have since followed the end of their FA Cup adventure, culminating with victory in front of a packed Sincil Bank crowd of 10,031 - of which just 97 were Macclesfield supporters - to confirm their status as an EFL club for 2017-18. For five of their six seasons outside the Football League, Lincoln found themselves parked in mid-table mediocrity. Last term they finished 13th - their previous best effort since dropping into the fifth tier in 2011 - under Chris Moyses, who split his managerial workload with running his own business. Come May 2016, Danny Cowley arrived with brother and assistant Nicky, taking up his first full-time managerial job having led part-time Braintree to the play-offs while combining his work at the Iron with his career as a PE teacher. Two wins at the beginning of the season were followed by two losses, leaving Lincoln 14th in the table. That, however, was a momentary dip as five successive victories later and they were top, where they have remained for much of the campaign. To the very end they fought to restore themselves to the fourth tier, completing their third comeback win in eight days to seal promotion. Match ends, Lincoln City 2, Macclesfield Town 1.

Summarize the following article: The 43-year-old scored for Blackburn on their last Cup trip to Anfield, when they knocked the Reds out of the 1999-2000 competition with a 1-0 victory. Rovers have already beaten Premier League sides Swansea and Stoke to reach Sunday's quarter-final. "With confidence, you can achieve anything," former Wales international Blake told BBC Radio Lancashire. Like the current side, Blackburn were playing in England's second-tier when they overcame Liverpool 15 years ago. But Blake said the manner in which the Championship side defeated Stoke 4-1 in the fifth round made them a particularly dangerous proposition for Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool. "The way they beat Stoke, it's not like they got away with it, they took them to task, put them to bed," said Blake, who also played for Cardiff, Sheffield United, Bolton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leicester and Leeds during a 15-year career. "The manner in which they won that game, they should be flying high on confidence." Blake recalled scoring his late winner against a Liverpool side that included a young Steven Gerrard as a "great memory". He said: "I remember it being a real ding-dong game - it was a great occasion. "Everyone had written us off, Blackburn as a club had been written off at the time, but we went to Anfield and it was a good game. "I can't say we had it all over them at any point, but we held our own and quite late on I managed to pick up a ball from Per Frandsen and slot it with my right, first time."

Former Blackburn striker Nathan Blake says Rovers have the necessary belief to upset Liverpool again in the FA Cup.

Summarize the following article: Luke Harlow, 28, of Ibstock, Leicestershire, admitted grooming and sexually touching Kayleigh Haywood but had denied taking her captive. Stephen Beadman, 29, who admitted raping and murdering Kayleigh, was found guilty of imprisonment on Monday. Both men are due to be sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday. More on this story and other news in Leicestershire Kayleigh's body was found in a field, five days after she was dropped off outside Ibstock Community College, on Friday 13 November. Her family thought she was joining a friend but she was actually meeting Harlow, who had been grooming her through social media and text messages. Kayleigh, from Measham, was given "substantial amounts of alcohol" and "sexually touched" by Harlow, according to the prosecution, on that Friday evening. The following day, Beadman arrived at the flat and the jury agreed Kayleigh was kept prisoner by both men between about 21:00 BST and 03:00 the next morning. Speaking outside court after the final verdict, Kayleigh's parents said they were "heartbroken and devastated". "Our hearts have been torn apart," they said in a statement. "We ask ourselves every day, why? Why Kayleigh? Why did this happen to our beautiful daughter? "Today, we have got justice for our beautiful daughter. But that doesn't change anything for us. We have to live with this heartache forever. "The public have been and continue to be a great support and comfort to us, and we want to thank each and every one of you." The court heard how Harlow became Facebook friends with Kayleigh just two weeks before her death. He had more than 2,200 friends on Facebook, and police believe many of these were girls and young women he was trying to groom. He admitted two charges of attempting to meet children following sexual grooming, in relation to two other 15-year-old girls he tried and failed to meet. Janine Smith, Chief Crown Prosecutor at CPS East Midlands, said Kayleigh suffered "a terrifying ordeal" at the hands of Beadman, but was only in that position because she had been groomed by Harlow before being kept against her will. "Beadman callously raped and took the life of an innocent teenage girl," said Ms Smith. "Harlow pursued a succession of underage girls in a sinister manner, talking about 'kidnapping' them and making them 'slaves'. "I would like to offer my heartfelt sympathy to Kayleigh's family and I hope the conviction of these highly dangerous men will in some way help them start to cope with their loss." The NSPCC said the "shocking" case was a "stark reminder of the dangers that young people face on social media" - and called for more resources to help police tackle the problem. "Last week, the NSPCC revealed that more than 3,000 sex crimes using the internet were committed against children last year, and Kayleigh's tragic death is an example of the way the online world is increasingly being used by abusers," an NSPCC spokesman said. "In the coming years, it is vital that police are given the resources to tackle this rapidly developing, 21st century crime, and that we continue to help our children stay safe online." Paul Burnett, independent chairman of the Leicestershire and Rutland Local Safeguarding Children Board, said a serious case review is under way "to see if any lessons can be learned and action taken". 31 October - Luke Harlow begins grooming Kayleigh Haywood on Facebook, sending her a message reading: "Hey, how's it going?" Further electronic messaging, which she kept from her parents, then takes place on Facebook and WhatsApp. 13 November - Kayleigh's father drops her off outside Ibstock Community College at about 18:00 GMT, after she agrees to spend the weekend at Harlow's home in George Avenue, Ibstock. At Harlow's request, Kayleigh tells her parents she is staying with a friend. 14 November - Kayleigh speaks to her parents on her iPhone in the morning. At about 21:00, Kayleigh's mobile phone ceases to send messages to her friends. 15 November - Between 03:00 and 03:30 a witness sees a young woman being pinned to the ground by a man who is wrongly assumed to be a policeman because of a reflective strip on his coat. A loud frightened scream of "mummy" is heard by another witness as Kayleigh is attacked by Stephen Beadman and then killed on farmland. At about 9:30 Kayleigh's smashed iPhone is found on a main road near the defendants' homes. A passerby who finds the handset uses the Sim card to dial the last number called and gets through to a friend of Kayleigh, who in turn contacts the schoolgirl's mother. Kayleigh is then reported missing. 16 November - Detectives arrest Harlow and Beadman in connection with Kayleigh's disappearance as officers search for her on parkland and at a property. 17 November - Police appeal for anyone with information or sightings of the schoolgirl to come forward. Later the same day, Kayleigh's parents - Stephanie Haywood and Martin Whitby - make an emotional appeal through police for her to come home. 18 November - Leicestershire Police announce that officers are treating the disappearance of Kayleigh as murder after finding items of clothing they believe belonged to the teenager in Ibstock and Diseworth. Police find Kayleigh's body in undergrowth near a stream at about 22:00. 19 November - Leicestershire Police charge Beadman, then aged 28, with the murder of Kayleigh Haywood. Harlow, 27, is accused of grooming and two counts of sexual activity with a child.

A man who used Facebook to groom a 15-year-old girl who was later raped and murdered has been found guilty of false imprisonment.

Summarize the following article: After an opening a one-over-par 71, the Northern Irishman shot a second-round 68 to lie on one under par. That was two shots outside the halfway cut-off of 137. McDowell had been 131st in the standings with only the top 125 going forward to the play-offs after this tournament. Shane Lowry, needing to finish in the top 10 to progress, jumped up to joint ninth after a splendid 64 on Friday, adding to his first-round 67. Lowry, from County Offaly, had four birdies on the back nine and sits four shots behind leaders Webb Simpson and Ryan Armour who are on 13 under, one shot ahead of Henrik Stenson. Seamus Power just made the cut on three under par after a second-round 70. The Waterford man was in 123rd spot going into this week so has kept alive his chances of making the play-offs. Padraig Harrington carded a second-round 68 and is on six under par. The three-time major winner was 199th in the FedEx standings and only a win or second place this week would see him moving up to the top 125. However, the 45-year-old from Dublin has a medical exemption following back surgery would allow him to play in nine tournaments next year. The play-offs will begin with the top 125 competing at the Northern Trust Open. The leading 100 will then go on to the Dell Technologies Championship with the top 70 in action at the BMW Championship before the leading 30 compete in the concluding Tour Championship in Atlanta.

Graeme McDowell's hopes of reaching the FedEx Cup play-offs ended as he missed the cut at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Summarize the following article: Vice-Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun said the $5.85bn (£3.77bn) deal would "inevitably undermine bilateral relations", including military and security co-operation. He also summoned US Ambassador Gary Locke to protest against the deal. China traditionally reacts strongly to US military co-operation with Taiwan, which it considers its territory. Last year, when the US sold missiles and other hardware to Taiwan, China suspended military exchanges with the US. Correspondents say harsh words from China were expected, but it remains to be seen whether it takes any action to show its displeasure. Zhu Feng, professor of international relations at Peking University, told the BBC he believed the Chinese reaction was aimed at a domestic audience. "China's grandstanding gesture - with very little action - is an attempt to avoid giving Chinese people the impression that despite the US's ongoing arm sales to Taiwan, the authorities are not responding in a robust manner," he said. Some future bilateral military exchanges could be postponed as a result, but the US-China relationship would not suffer long-term damage, he said. The US deal, revealed on Wednesday, falls short of what Taiwan had requested. By Cindy SuiBBC News, Taipei The US decision, though widely expected, still came as a disappointment for Taiwan. Despite improved relations between Taiwan and China, Beijing continues to build up its military strength. And that build-up is widely seen as targeted at Taiwan, to warn the island it still claims as its province against becoming formally independent. Analysts say Washington has become reluctant to sell Taiwan big-ticket items in recent years, for fear of angering Beijing. The US needs China's co-operation on many issues - from trade, to North Korea and buying US bonds to deal with its debt. Washington faces a tough balancing act trying to juggle its relationship with China and its commitment to help its longtime ally Taiwan defend itself. The announcement suggests the US will not now sell Taiwan a newer generation of F-16 fighters, as Taipei had hoped. It will instead upgrade its older-generation F-16 fleet. US officials said the F-16 A/B fighters will undergo a retrofit which will bring them up to the same standards as the more advanced C/D models. Mr Zhang called on Washington to "immediately cancel the wrong decision". China's defence ministry, meanwhile, said that the US action had "caused serious damage to Sino-US military relations". But Taiwanese officials appeared to welcome the news. "After the upgrade, the air force's combat capability will be advanced hugely," Taiwanese Defence Minister Kao Hua-chu said at a press conference in Taipei. The defence ministry said Taiwan remained under threat from China's military expansion. "Improving our defence capability is a crucial... measure to sustain regional security and stable development across the strait," it said in a statement. Taiwan also said it would continue its attempts to purchase more than 60 of the C/D planes, which are considered more of a match for China's latest war planes. Taipei said that decision was still pending in the US and urged officials to agree to it. Washington's decision will now pass to Congress for approval. Some analysts say the decision to approve an upgrade - rather than provide more advanced fighters - is designed to appease Beijing, which had warned that relations would suffer if the sale went ahead. In recent years China's military superiority over Taiwan has steadily increased, and the US is legally bound to help Taiwan defend itself under the Taiwan Relations Act passed in 1979.

China has reacted angrily to a US deal to upgrade Taiwan's ageing fleet of US-built F-16 fighter planes.

Summarize the following article: Premier League chief Richard Scudamore said it was an act of "solidarity and remembrance" after the Paris attacks, in which 130 people died. Fans had united to sing La Marseillaise before England's win over France at Wembley on Tuesday. There are 72 French footballers who play in the Premier League. "Given how close we are, as well as the long-standing relationship that exists between the Premier League and France, playing La Marseillaise as an act of solidarity and remembrance is the right thing to do," said Scudamore. Watford and Manchester United each had a French player in their starting line-up - Etienne Capoue for the former and Morgan Schneiderlin for the latter - and both sang their nation's anthem prior to the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday. Chelsea's players wore black armbands incorporating the French flag during their home game with Norwich City on Saturday. Newcastle United's players also wore black armbands during their home match with Leicester City. The Premier League has briefed each club on the current threat alert and existing security guidance.

The French national anthem - La Marseillaise - will be played before all of this weekend's Premier League matches.

Summarize the following article: Soldiers patrolling a camp outside the town of Arsal opened fire on the men when they tried to set fire to tents at a neighbouring camp, a statement said. However, residents and a local official disputed the army's version of events. The official told AFP that troops had poured petrol on the tents to set fire to them, and detained hundreds of men. "They attacked the women and children, and rounded up the men," he said. "I was just there, and I saw an old man, around 90 years old, with all his bones broken from the beatings," he added. "There is no safety for the refugees in Arsal at all." An army spokesman dismissed the allegations as "lies", adding: "Our troops act in accordance with international standards of humanitarian treatment." However, the official National News Agency reported that dozens of Lebanese and Syrian citizens had been arrested in the raids. Many have been accused of being members of al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, the al-Nusra Front, which was involved in clashes last month in and around Arsal that left dozens of militants and soldiers dead. Several dozen Lebanese soldiers and policemen were captured during the fighting by members of al-Nusra and Islamic State (IS), and at least three have since been killed by the jihadists. That has caused deep anger and anxiety in Lebanon, which has more than 1.1 million Syrian refugees and only 4 million citizens.

At least one person was killed and two wounded during a search for militants at refugee camps near Lebanon's border with Syria, the Lebanese army says.

Summarize the following article: The girl, identified as Diana Kadribasic, died on Sunday after she was hit by an R train at the 63rd Drive-Rego Park station. Police said the train came into the station as the girl was trying to climb back on to the platform. She was taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where she died, police said. Commuter Stephen Topete told ABC New York that people were crying on the platform after the incident. After the accident, New York City Transit released a statement urging customers to alert subway staff if they drop something on to the tracks rather than trying to recover it themselves.

A 13-year-old girl was killed after she dropped her mobile phone on to New York subway tracks and was struck by a train while trying to recover it.

Summarize the following article: At least 41 crashes were staged in 2011 and 2013 across Derbyshire, with gang members acting as drivers, passengers, witnesses and in other roles. Lone women and elderly drivers were specifically targeted, the court heard. Nottingham Crown Court heard one victim missed a funeral as a result of a crash, with an elderly woman too shaken to drive again after one incident. More on this story and other news in Derbyshire Five people were found guilty for their part in the fraud after a trial at Nottingham Crown Court. Seven others had previously pleaded guilty to fraud offences, with one man due to be sentenced at a later date. The court heard how, as part of the scam, two companies had been set up by some of the defendants to deal with claims around 41 different collisions between 2011 and 2013. The convicted played "a variety of roles", including acting as drivers, passengers and independent witnesses involved in the crashes. In total, the court heard the group earned profits of about £420,000, with costs to the insurance industry said to be more than £700,000. As well as custodial sentences, Ahmed, Asghar, Hussain, Davinder and Dharminder Nagra and Martin Walker are disqualified from acting as company directors for eight years. Judge John Burgess described the operation as "a sophisticated and well-organised fraud" that sought out victims "on the basis of their vulnerability". He added: "The harm caused in a case like this isn't just monetary - drivers and passengers in targeted cars have been harmed emotionally, if not physically, and have been put at a great inconvenience." Following the sentencing, Ben Fletcher, director of the Insurance Fraud Bureau, warned such scams cost the insurance industry £336m a year. "This is a financial burden on insurers, but it's ultimately premium-paying motorists who are footing the bill for fraudsters," he said. Det Con Kevan Handley, from Derbyshire Police, said it was "a complex investigation" that uncovered the extent of the fraud, and hopes the severity of the sentences will deter other potential offenders. "It's not just about the cost to the insurance companies or drivers, as these incidents can potentially lead to serious injury, if not worse," he said. "It's luck of the draw really - you only need one thing to go wrong and somebody dies."

Eleven people have been jailed for making hundreds of thousands of pounds from "cash for crash" scams.

Summarize the following article: The Alliance says the grant should be subject to the couple attending three marriage training sessions. Leader Sidney Cordle said: "We are very concerned about marriage and the breakdown of marriage in particular. "Government figures have shown this is costing the nation £47 billion a year," he added. Mr Cordle was speaking at the launch event in Westminster. His party is putting up 17 candidates in seats across the UK. Other key pledges outlined include: "We are very concerned about abortion," said Mr Cordle. "There are 185,000 abortions taking place per year in this country and recently in Parliament they debated gender-selective abortions, people being aborted just because they were the wrong sex. Parliament decided they weren't going to stop it. We think that is outrageous." In February, MPs agreed to review the extent to which abortion on grounds of gender alone - which is illegal - was being carried out in the UK. However, Health Select Committee chairwoman Dr Sarah Wollaston told the Commons there was no evidence of a "systematic practice" of sex selective abortion in the UK. According to Mr Cordle, other parties were failing to address several important issues. "I believe marriage, abortion and the persecution of Christians are extremely important and they should be discussed," he said. The Christian People's Alliance has contested seats in local council and European elections before. In the 2009 European Elections, it ran a combined list with the Christian Party and gained 249, 493 votes or 1.65% of those cast. The parties have agreed not to stand against each other on 7 May. Mr Cordle hit the headlines in May last year when he told the BBC that storms could have been the result of God's anger at gay marriage legislation. He was being interviewed after UKIP expelled a local councillor for blaming the storms on gay marriage. "A lot of Christians believe that God is angry over gay marriage and God can actually show that anger," he said. Asked if his party would welcome votes from gay people, he said: "We don't judge people because of their lifestyle. We are not against people. It's the principles on which we stand."

The Christian People's Alliance has launched its manifesto, calling for a £10,000 grant to all couples on their first marriage.

Summarize the following article: There are no opinion polls, but the moderate Islamist Ennahda party is predicted to do well. Turnout reached 65% an hour before the close of voting, state TV reported. A series of democratic changes have taken place since the authoritarian leader Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was ousted in 2011. Tunisia is seen as the birthplace of the Arab Spring - the pro-democracy movement which sought to replace autocratic governments in several Arab countries. Tunisia is considered to have had the most successful outcome, with relatively low levels of violence. At the scene: Naveena Kottoor, Tunis Despite a rainy and damp start to the day, there were queues outside this polling station in the Tunis 2 district, with some carrying the Tunisian flag. In this district, voters have a choice between 45 candidates. The entire process is being tightly observed by around 800 international, as well as more than 10,000 national, election monitors across the country. The security presence is visible at the polling stations and on the streets. Today marks the end of the political transition period from dictatorship to democracy. It's a milestone, the expectations are high, not just in Tunisia but abroad as well. Ennahda's main rival is likely to be the liberal Nidaa Tounes (Tunisia's Call), although it has promised to seek a coalition government even if it wins the most seats. Most of the major parties have vowed to tackle Tunisia's high unemployment and to reinvigorate its economy. Polls opened at 07:00 (06:00 GMT) and closed at 18:00 (17:00 GMT). Results are expected on Wednesday. More than 50,000 security personnel and nearly 20,000 soldiers were ordered to be deployed on Sunday to ensure safe voting. Radical groups within Tunisia have threatened to disrupt the elections and on Thursday militants shot a policeman on the outskirts of the capital, Tunis. Casting his vote on Sunday, Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa said "the whole world is watching Tunisia today". Earlier Mr Jomaa warned that extremist groups could attempt to attack polling stations. "We know that this [election] will be a target because it is unique in the region. It brings hope," he said, during an inspection of troops near Tunis. Around five million Tunisians were registered to vote, with overseas residents having already cast their ballots on Friday. Ennahda, which currently rules in coalition with other parties, has promised to pursue a unity government even if it wins the most seats. Tunisia is set to hold a presidential election on 23 November, which will deliver the country's first directly elected leader since the removal of Ben Ali in 2011. Protests which began in the Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid in late 2010 later gathered pace and spread across much of the Arab world the following year.

Tunisia has voted in elections to its first parliament under a new constitution, part of political changes under way since the "Arab Spring".

Summarize the following article: On Sunday, the deep-water detector, or towfish, "collided with a mud volcano which rises 2,200 metres from the seafloor," an official statement said. Both the device and 4,500 metres of snapped cable are now resting on the sea floor. The search team believe they will be able to recover both at a later date. The Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC), overseeing the search, did not say whether the loss would delay their operation, which they have said will be completed by June. Flight MH370 disappeared in March 2014, with 239 people on board, during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Based on satellite communications data, the plane is thought to have crashed in the Indian Ocean, but only one piece of debris from the plane has ever been found, on the French island of Reunion. Search ship Fugro Discovery is now returning to port in Fremantle, Australia, to have a replacement cable fitted, which it will then use with a spare towfish it has on board. The search is focused on a 120,000-sq-km (46,330-sq-mile) area of the southern Indian ocean. The sonar detector is pulled through the water about 100 metres (330 feet) above the seabed, mapping the underwater terrain. On Saturday, another piece of possible aircraft debris was found off the coast of southern Thailand, although experts and officials have cast doubt on the idea it might belong to MH370, as prevailing currents would be unlikely to carry debris there from the southern India Ocean.

The Australian team looking for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has lost the sonar detector they were using for their search.

Summarize the following article: The confirmation follows a series of divisive hearings during which Democrats attacked Mr Sessions' record on civil rights. Democrat Elizabeth Warren was silenced after recalling historic allegations of racism against Mr Sessions. The Alabama senator's nomination was among Mr Trump's most controversial. The vote largely followed party lines, with just one Democrat senator - Joe Manchin of West Virginia - voting for Mr Sessions. Mr Sessions' Republican colleagues in the chamber applauded him as their majority carried him over the line. He will now take charge of the Justice Department and its 113,000 employees, including 93 US attorneys. Addressing the chamber after the vote, Mr Sessions said: "There is no greater honour than to represent the people of Alabama in the greatest deliberative body in the world. "I appreciate the full debate we've had and thank those afterwards who found sufficient confidence to cast their vote to confirm me as the next attorney general. "I fully understand the august responsibility of this office." But Mr Sessions added that "denigrating people who don't agree with us is not good for our politics". During debates ahead of the vote, Ms Warren and other Democratic senators recalled criticism of Mr Sessions by Martin Luther King's widow, who opposed his nomination as a federal judge in 1986, alleging he had intimidated black voters. That nomination was rejected by a US Senate panel amid concerns over allegedly racist comments made by Mr Sessions, and remarks which appeared to be sympathetic to white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan. David Duke, the former leader of the the KKK, welcomed the confirmation, writing on Twitter: "Mr Trump's appointment of Bannon, Flynn and Sessions are the first steps in the project of taking America back." Ms Warren, who was temporarily banned from the chamber, wrote: "If Jeff Sessions makes even the tiniest attempt to bring his racism, sexism & bigotry into the Justice Department, he'll hear from all of us." At 70, Mr Sessions is the same age as Mr Trump and was an early supporter of the president. Mr Trump has lashed out on Twitter at Democrats stalling his cabinet picks, including Mr Sessions, who is only the sixth of Mr Trump's 15 nominees to be confirmed. The Alabama senator is widely seen as an inspiration for Mr Trump's anti-immigration policies, and his close ties to the president and special advisor Steve Bannon have raised concerns about his ability to be sufficiently independent from the White House. The confirmation follows a turbulent first fortnight for Mr Trump, during which the president has faced heavy criticism over his controversial travel ban and a raid in Yemen which killed one US Navy operative and a number of civilians, including children.

The US Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump's nomination for attorney general, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, by a vote of 52 to 47.

Summarize the following article: A long-running legal campaign against the proposal had drawn the attention of Pope Francis. The Israeli government wanted to build a section of its separation barrier between church properties in the scenic Cremisan Valley. Fifty-eight Christian families would have been cut off from their land. "This is a victory for everyone," the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Fuad Twal said at a news conference. He suggested the announcement had special significance in the Holy Land ahead of Easter. "I am celebrating the resurrection before the Calvary [Good Friday] tomorrow," commented local priest, Father Ibrahim Shomali, who led weekly prayers under olive trees in the valley. "We have been suffering for nine years because we feared we'd lose our land. It wasn't easy to get this decision so we thank God." Construction of the barrier began in 2002, during the second Palestinian intifada or uprising, following a wave of suicide bombings. Israel said it was an essential security measure to prevent attacks. However, Palestinians see it largely as a land grab because much of it was built inside the occupied West Bank. Jewish settlements and additional land have been left on the Israeli side. Settlements are seen as illegal under international law, although Israel disagrees. In the Cremisan Valley, Israel's defence ministry argued it was seeking added protection for the settlements of Har Gilo and Gilo. Israelis view these as Jewish neighbourhoods of Jerusalem. The barrier would have cut between a 19th Century monastery and winery run by Salesian monks - putting them on the Jerusalem side - and a neighbouring convent and primary school run by nuns. The Israeli authorities had said there would be access between the sites and for Palestinians trying to reach their land through gates operated by soldiers. Locals grow olives and fruits in the green, terraced valley and visit it for recreational purposes such as hiking and barbecues. When Pope Francis visited the Holy Land last year he met some of the Palestinian families involved in the legal case and promised to follow up on it. The Israeli court has now told the defence ministry to look into an alternative route for the barrier that is less disruptive for the community. It said the two church sites should remain connected on the Palestinian side of the barrier. In January, the High Court halted proceedings to build the separation barrier in Battir, also in the Bethlehem district. The village had been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site last year because of its ancient agricultural terraces and irrigation system. However Israel's separation barrier has been constructed around the village of al-Walaja, which lies between the Cremisan Valley and Battir.

Palestinians are celebrating after Israel's Supreme Court rejected a plan to route the West Bank barrier through a beauty spot near Bethlehem.

Summarize the following article: It has become Wales' second and only the 10th destination in the world to be granted the status of an international dark sky reserve. It means the quality of the night air is outstanding and real efforts are being made to reduce light pollution. The successful bid was announced at the Dark Sky Institute in Arizona, United States. "Receiving this designation is very good news for the residents, businesses, visitors and the wildlife of Snowdonia," said Emyr Williams, chief executive of Snowdonia National Park Authority. "Unfortunately, the opportunity to enjoy the night sky and its stars is in decline, the living patterns of nocturnal creatures are dwindling and as light pollution is rising, it contributes to these deteriorations. "However, with this designation, the area's wildlife will be improved, the quality of the environment will be protected, there will be a new natural attraction to attract new visitors to Snowdonia on quiet periods of the year, the local economy will be improved and the dark sky above Snowdonia will be protected for future generations."

The night sky above the Snowdonia National Park has been granted special protection.

Summarize the following article: Nicole Bailey, 23, picked up the cash at a branch of One Stop, in Blurton, Stoke-on-Trent, after it was dropped by a customer who withdrew it from a nearby cash point, police said. Bailey pleaded guilty at North Staffordshire Justice Centre after seeing CCTV evidence. Her defence team reportedly argued the case should have been dealt with through a police caution. Bailey, of Highfield Drive, Blurton, must also pay £20 compensation, a £20 victim surcharge and £135 in court costs. More updates on this and other stories in Staffordshire The theft occurred on 8 August last year. Ch Insp Karen Stevenson, from Staffordshire Police, urged anyone who finds lost money to "do the right thing". "Morally, the right thing to do is hand in any found property so that the person who has lost out has every opportunity to be reunited with it." "This was someone's hard-earned money and we are committed to supporting all victims in our community."

A woman who kept a £20 note she found in a shop has been convicted of theft.

Summarize the following article: Secret filming by the BBC programme broadcast last month showed residents being pinned down, slapped and taunted at Winterbourne View, near Bristol. Police investigating the matter confirmed a further two men, aged 26 and 32, had been arrested and bailed. Local MP Jack Lopresti has called for the hospital to be closed. Eleven people have now been questioned in connection with the inquiry. Earlier this week police arrested two women, aged 22 and 21, and three men, aged 58, 40 and 28. Last week, a woman and three men were arrested. All have been released on police bail. On Wednesday, it was revealed that South Gloucestershire Council staff may have been been told five times in two months about fears of abuse at Winterbourne View. An e-mail from the hospital manager last November said "five safeguarding concerns" appeared to have arisen. It is thought this may refer to concerns raised with the council's Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults panel. The e-mail, sent by the manager to support workers and nurses and seen by the BBC, said patients had complained of ill treatment. It said they had allegedly been teased, forced to swallow medication, threatened, restrained when it was not warranted and called nicknames which other patients then used. The private home, which is taxpayer-funded, is to be investigated by the Care Quality Commission. Hospital owner Castlebeck has apologised and suspended 13 employees - including the manager who wrote the e-mail. Jack Lopresti, the MP for Filton and Bradley Stoke, has now called for the care home to be closed and for an independent review into what led to the failures in patient care. The Conservative MP said: "I will be meeting with the chief executive of Castlebeck shortly to suggest that the company permanently closes Winterbourne View at the earliest opportunity. "I am also calling for an independent inquiry into why such serious failures occurred and what lessons can be learnt to ensure the abuse at Winterbourne View Hospital never happens again. "I believe that a truly independent inquiry is needed to restore the public faith in the care system." The vulnerable patients filmed by Panorama have been moved to safety.

Two more people have been arrested in connection with the alleged abuse of vulnerable adults filmed by Panorama at a residential hospital.

Summarize the following article: Waseem Baloch, 25, was arrested in Dera Ghazi Khan in central Pakistan on Saturday night. The Dawn newspaper said he had confessed to the murder, saying he drugged and strangled her "for dishonouring the Baloch name". Qandeel Baloch, 26, became a household name for posting sometimes raunchy photographs, comments and videos. She recently caused controversy by posting pictures of herself alongside a Muslim cleric. Dawn quoted police as saying her selfies with Mufti Qavi were one of the issues cited by her brother. The paper quoted Waseem Baloch as saying: "She wasn't aware I was killing her. I gave her a tablet and then strangled her." Police said the brother had escaped to Dera Ghazi Khan after the killing in the Karimabad area of Multan early on Saturday morning. They said he fled with two friends who were still being sought. Ms Baloch was buried on Sunday morning in her ancestral village near Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab province. Images from the scene showed scores of people attending the services. Mufti Qavi, who said he had forgiven Ms Baloch for her actions, had offered to lead the funeral prayers, reports said. Ms Baloch had built up a large social media fan-base, with 43,000 Twitter followers and more than 700,000 on Facebook. She was well aware of the opposition she faced but continued to post defiant tweets. One on Thursday read: "I will not give up. I will reach for my goal & absolutely nothing will stop me." Ms Baloch, dubbed by some Pakistan's Kim Kardashian, rose to fame in 2014 when a video of her pouting at the camera and asking "How em looking?" went viral. In a recent interview she was bitterly critical of Pakistan's patriarchal society and described herself as a leading exponent of girl power. While many younger people saw her as a cultural icon and hailed her liberal views, she was also subjected to frequent misogynist abuse online. Ms Baloch had gone to Punjab from Karachi because of the threat to her security, police say. Her request for better security was ignored by the government, Dawn reported, despite pleas made three weeks ago to the interior minister and other senior officials. Hundreds of women are murdered every year in Pakistan in so-called honour killing cases. Qandeel Baloch used social media to find fame and the reactions there showed the feelings she inspired, from admiration to disgust. Some called her death "good news" and even praised her suspected killer. Others said it was wrong to condone her murder, even if she was flawed. Some showed outright support. Qandeel Baloch has been dubbed Pakistan's Kim Kardashian. There are comparisons: the provocative selfies, the pursuit of celebrity, the controversial rise to notoriety. But in Pakistan, women, especially poor ones, still lack basic rights, from schooling to choosing a husband and violence against them is rife. The country struggles with sexuality and especially with "immodest" women. The fact that many of her videos went viral suggests a titillating fascination with confident female sexuality - along with fear of its power and of her assertion of independence. However she lived her life, tweeted one, it was her life.

The brother of Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch has been arrested for her murder.

Summarize the following article: Singhbury's Local in Aylesbury put its orange sign up last year. Co-owner Inderjit Singh Nagpal said Sainsbury's objected, but he said "Singh" was his middle name, "bury" referred to Aylesbury and the colour orange was important to Sikhs. Sainsbury's said it contacted the shop after its customers raised "concerns". The sign was erected early last year but removed from the shop front in October. A spokeswoman for the supermarket said: "There were no legal proceedings around this but we did contact the owners after customers raised their concerns with us." More news from Buckinghamshire Initially Mr Nagpal told the BBC it had been taken down because of water damage. However, he has now said it was because Sainsbury's contacted him. He said although he was prepared to change the colour of the sign, he would not change the name because he could justify it. Mr Nagpal said he hoped his legal representatives and Sainsbury's would reach a decision next week.

A shopkeeper removed the sign outside his store after supermarket giant Sainsbury's said it looked too much like theirs, he has claimed.

Summarize the following article: The activist, who had been serving an 11-year prison term for "subversion", died in a hospital in China aged 61. Amid tributes for the late campaigner, the Nobel Committee, which gave him the Peace Prize in 2010, said China bore a "heavy responsibility" for his death. Beijing is now being urged to free his wife, poet Liu Xia, from house arrest. While official reaction in China has been restrained, one state-run newspaper accused "Western forces" of politicising the case. Mr Liu had been moved from a prison to a hospital in the north-eastern city of Shenyang last month, where he was being kept under heavy security. The Chinese government had rejected calls from Western countries to give Mr Liu permission to seek palliative treatment elsewhere, with Chinese medical experts insisting that he was too ill to travel. However, a German and an American doctor who had recently visited and examined him in the hospital said he would be able to travel abroad. Mr Liu died "peacefully", surrounded by his wife and other relatives, his main doctor Teng Yue'e said. His final words to Liu Xia were: "Live on well". In a brief statement, Shenyang local officials said that Mr Liu had suffered multiple organ failure, and that efforts to save the activist had failed. Calling the death "premature", the Nobel Committee also said the Chinese refusal to allow him to travel was "deeply disturbing". Germany, which was one of the countries considered as an option to Mr Liu, regretted that his transfer did not take place, Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said. "China now has the responsibility to quickly, transparently and plausibly answer the question of whether the cancer could not have been identified much earlier," he added in a statement. The country, alongside the UK, US and France, called on China to allow Liu Xia to travel and leave the country if she wished. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said in a statement: "Liu Xiaobo should have been allowed to choose his own medical treatment overseas, which the Chinese authorities repeatedly denied him. This was wrong and I now urge them to lift all restrictions on his widow." The call was endorsed by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, who urged China to "guarantee Liu Xia's freedom of movement". Praise has poured in for Mr Liu, with US President Donald Trump calling Mr Liu "a courageous advocate" who "dedicated his life to the pursuit of democracy and liberty". Coverage on mainland China has been muted. Xinhua and CCTV news issued short statements on their English sites stating that Liu Xiaobo, "convicted of subversion of state power", had died. Communist Party mouthpiece Global Times said Mr Liu was "a victim led astray" by the West. "The Chinese side has been focusing on Liu's treatment, but some Western forces are always attempting to steer the issue in a political direction, hyping the treatment as a 'human rights' issue," the newspaper added. Social media users have also noticed attempts from censors to quell reaction online. Many comments appear to have been deleted, including messages with "RIP" or candle emojis, popular when commemorating someone who has died. A university professor turned tireless rights campaigner, Mr Liu was branded a criminal by authorities, and repeatedly jailed throughout his life. Liu Xiaobo played a significant role in the Tiananmen Square student protests of June 1989, which ended in bloodshed when they were quashed by government troops. He was subsequently placed in a detention centre and released in 1991. Mr Liu's campaign to free those detained during the Tiananmen Square protests landed him in a labour camp in north-eastern China for three years, but he was permitted to marry poet Liu Xia there in 1996. He was later freed, and continued to campaign for democracy. The 11-year jail term he was serving was handed down in 2009 after he compiled, with other intellectuals, the Charter 08 manifesto. It called for an end to one-party rule and the introduction of multi-party democracy. Mr Liu was found guilty of trying to overthrow the state.

China is facing international criticism for not allowing its most prominent dissident, Liu Xiaobo, to be treated abroad for terminal liver cancer.

Summarize the following article: Conditions are so bad that healthy people are getting ill after they arrive, said Medecins Sans Frontieres. There is only one toilet for every 3,000 residents and new arrivals having to build their own shelters, it said. The UN said it was taking the allegations seriously, but questioned some of the findings in the report. The UN refugee agency UNHCR, which oversees the camp, said some of the facts "seem to be out of date and do not reflect current realities" - pointing out that there are now more than 2,500 latrines, approximately one for every 30 refugees. Some 70,000 refugees now live at the Mbera camp in a remote part of Mauritania, MSF said, put off from returning home by enduring ethnic tensions in northern Mali. "More than 100,000 people from northern Mali are currently displaced within their country or have escaped abroad as refugees," said Henry Gray, emergency co-ordinator for MSF. "Most of the refugees are from the Tuareg and Arab communities. They fled pre-emptively, often for fear of violence due to their presumed links with Islamist or separatist groups. Their home in northern Mali is still in the grip of fear and mistrust." The situation at the camp has worsened, MSF said, since France led a military intervention in Mali in January. The MSF report, Stranded in the Desert, is based on testimony from more than 100 residents of the Mbera camp. Refugees are receiving only 11 litres (2.9 gallons) of water a day in 50C (122F) heat, and there is a desperate shortage of toilets, though acknowledged more are now being built. An MSF study at the camp last November revealed a critical nutrition situation, with mortality rates above the emergency threshold for children under two years old. And conditions have worsened since the French intervention in Mali prompted a fresh wave of 15,000 refugees. New arrivals are having to wait more than a month to receive housing materials, and are having to build makeshift shelters from sticks and scraps of cloth. "The number of consultations in MSF's clinics in the Mbera camp has increased from 1,500 to 2,500 per week," MSF said. "The number of children admitted per week for severe malnutrition has more than doubled, from 42 to 106, despite the nutritional status of the new refugees being generally good when assessed on arrival in the camp." MSF said the situation had improved in recent weeks. But it is urgently calling on the UNHCR and aid organisations operating inside the camp to redouble their efforts to provide shelter, clean water, latrines, and food at minimum humanitarian standards. The fear is that unless conditions in the camp improve significantly, the refugees - most of whom are nomads - will abandon it, but will be unable to return home due to the ongoing conflict, says the BBC's Africa analyst Mary Harper. The UNHCR said it was studying the report in detail. "The issue of malnutrition in Mbera camp is a major concern and has been for some time... We take the allegations in the report seriously," said UNHCR spokesman Dan McNorton. "However, some of the facts contained do now seem to be out of date and do not reflect current realities." He said that as well as the increase in toilets at the camp, there are also more than 570 water points and more than 1,500 showers. The agencies operating in the camp have "already taken measures to improve the overall hygiene" and "additional efforts have been in place since the beginning of the year to treat malnutrition issues responding to this critical situation," he added.

Thousands of refugees fleeing conflict in Mali are enduring "appalling" conditions in a UN-run camp in Mauritania, a medical charity warns.

Summarize the following article: Marites Flor, a Filipina, was one of four hostages kidnapped last September from the city of Davao by Islamist separatists Abu Sayyaf. In April, the militants executed John Ridsdel after ransom deadline expired, then last week executed Ms Flor's partner, Robert Hall. It was not immediately clear why Ms Flor had been freed. The Philippines is opposed to paying ransoms to Abu Sayyaf. Officials said she had been left outside the house of a politician and was now receiving medical checks. A Norwegian man, Kjartan Sekkingstad, is still being held by the militants at their stronghold on the remote southern island of Jolo. Abu Sayyaf is a fractured network of militants, and some of its factions have sworn allegiance to the so-called Islamic State. In recent weeks, a video emerged online urging Muslims in South East Asia to unite behind one Abu Sayyaf leader, Isnilon Hapilon and carry out jihadist attacks. One of smallest but most radical of Islamist separatist groups in southern Philippines, its name means "bearer of the sword" in Arabic. It split from the larger Moro National Liberation Front in 1991. Membership is said to number in the low hundreds. The group has been agitating for the creation of an independent Islamic state in predominantly Catholic Philippines, and uses tactics such as hostage-taking and bombings to pressure the government. Several of its factions have pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State. Numerous Filipino and foreign civilians have been kidnapped in south Philippines and parts of neighbouring Malaysia over the decades, and used as hostages to extract ransoms. Though some have been released after negotiations or attacks by Philippine forces, others have been murdered when demands were not met. Abu Sayyaf has also said it carried out bombings in cities in the south and a ferry bombing in 2004 in Manila Bay that killed more than 100 people, considered one of the worst terror attacks in the Philippines.

Summarize the following article: The Seagulls are one of three teams level on 87 points heading in to the last two games of the season, with the top two promoted to the Premier League. "This is what you work so hard for," the 31-year-old told BBC Sussex. "You have got to make sure you enjoy it and relish the opportunity in front of you rather than shy away from it." Brighton currently sit behind league leaders Burnley and Middlesbrough on goal difference, but the Sussex side know they will be promoted if they win their last two fixtures, because they travel to Boro on the final day. All three sides have been in good form recently, with the Clarets on a 21-match unbeaten run, Middlesbrough winning six of their last eight and Albion seven of their last eight. "All credit to Burnley and Middlesbrough - we seem to be bringing the best out of each other," said Rosenior. "We keep challenging each other to go and perform and all three teams have been magnificent. "It makes for a fantastic end of the season." Rosenior, who joined Brighton last summer, has experience of going straight up from the Championship, having finished second with previous club Hull in 2012-13. "Being promoted with Hull was an experience I will never forget," he said. "I want to create more memories here and we are close to doing it. "It sounds simple but we have to show no fear. As soon as you start thinking 'this game is worth £180m to the club' you are not going to play well."

Brighton & Hove Albion defender Liam Rosenior has urged his team-mates to relish the climax of the Championship's automatic promotion race.

Summarize the following article: The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) removed 105 headstones after they fell into disrepair. New headstones will now be erected for 85 of those who gave their lives during both world wars. One of the headstones is being replaced 100 years on from the day the soldier died. Gunner James Motherwell of the 51st Division Ammunition Column, Royal Field Artillery, 51st Highland Division, died on 18 October, 1916, aged 32. He is thought to have most likely died after coming home with injuries or illness sustained during his time fighting in the war effort. There are also two brothers who will receive new headstones. Alexander Wyper, aged 22, Writer 3rd, Royal Navy, HMS Gunner, who died on 15 May, 1918, and his older brother, John, Able Seaman, Royal Navy, who died on 20 December, 1916. All those whose headstones had to be removed were commemorated at Dalziel (Globe) Cemetery. Iain Anderson of the CWGC said: "We are always very pleased to be able to give our men and women who fought during both world wars the commemoration and recognition they deserve. "Even though our boys were commemorated at another cemetery for the last 60 years when the original headstones were removed, it's very special to be able to re-install the headstones where they lay, so everyone can remember them."

Eighty five headstones at the graves of fallen soldiers are being replaced at Sighthill Cemetery in Glasgow after being removed in the 1950s

Summarize the following article: A number of people have been left homeless after the fire overnight in a row of terraced houses. The blaze at the properties in Marine Parade in the Old Town, was reported at about 00:30 BST. Six properties were evacuated by East Sussex Fire and Rescue services, with about 35 people having to be escorted from the buildings. Police said the woman, in her 60s, fell about 12m (40ft) and suffered spinal, pelvic and ankle injuries. She was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton and is also receiving treatment for the effects of breathing in smoke. A man was also taken for treatment at the Conquest Hospital on Hastings. Kevin Boorman, from Hastings Borough Council, said: "There are six properties that stand in a terrace. Five of them are very severely damaged and you can see that the roofs of them have gone. "The one at the end has not been so badly damaged." He said the owner had spent several months using scaffolding to help paint the outside of his home which had allowed firefighters to get onto the structure in an attempt to put out the fire. Those evacuated were initially taken to the Boat House on Hastings seafront and then transferred to the East Hastings Sea Angling Association. Hastings Borough Council said those affected will be re-homed. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

A woman was seriously injured when she jumped from a burning building in the Sussex town of Hastings.

Summarize the following article: She made her view known in a statement issued after all 32 local authority areas north of the border voted for Remain in the EU referendum. The Scottish vote contrasted with the overall UK vote to leave the EU, by a margin of 52% to 48%. Ms Sturgeon said Scotland "has spoken - and spoken decisively". Both London and Scotland voted strongly to stay in the EU but the Remain vote was undermined by poor results for them in the north of England. Voters in Wales and the English regions backed Brexit in large numbers. Ahead of the final outcome, Ms Sturgeon said: "Scotland has delivered a strong, unequivocal vote to remain in the EU, and I welcome that endorsement of our European status. "And while the overall result remains to be declared, the vote here makes clear that the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union. "Scotland has contributed significantly to the Remain vote across the UK. That reflects the positive campaign the SNP fought, which highlighted the gains and benefits of our EU membership, and people across Scotland have responded to that positive message. "We await the final UK-wide result, but Scotland has spoken - and spoken decisively."

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it was clear that people in Scotland saw their future as part of the European Union.

Summarize the following article: Webb missed the World Cup after being caught in a ruck in Wales' final warm-up match against Italy in September. It was initially feared he would miss the Six Nations, but asked if Webb, 26, could be back by February, Ospreys boss Steve Tandy said: "Yeah, potentially." He added: "It was a unique break. We know we've got to be very careful in how we bring him back." Webb underwent surgery on his foot and will miss the start of Ospreys' European Champions Cup campaign, which begins at home against Exeter on Sunday. Tandy says the 16-times capped Webb "recovers unbelievably quickly from injuries". But the head coach said: "We've got to restrain him, make sure he does everything and we won't be cutting corners with it." Tandy hopes his side can begin their European campaign with a win. "You want to set yourself with a good win to start with, and then see what you can pick up on the road but you can be out of the competition in the first fortnight," he said.

Wales and Ospreys scrum-half Rhys Webb could return from his foot injury in time to play in the 2016 Six Nations.

Summarize the following article: Adama Barrow also invited the general public to attend the ceremony. Last-ditch efforts by regional leaders to convince Yahya Jammeh to quit as president failed overnight. They have warned they could remove him by force. Mr Jammeh, 51, lost elections last month, but wants the results annulled citing errors in the electoral process. Mr Barrow, who is also 51, made the announcement in a message posted on his social media accounts on Thursday. The message said he would be "sworn in today at 4pm (16:00 GMT)". West African military forces, stationed at the border, are ready to enforce a transfer of power in The Gambia, a popular beach destination among European holidaymakers. UN Security Council backing for intervention is being sought by Senegal and the regional bloc Ecowas, but some diplomats said if Mr Barrow requested help after his inauguration such approval would not be needed. At the scene - Thomas Fessy, BBC News, Banjul It is eerily quiet in The Gambia's capital. Most streets are deserted; shops, petrol stations and banks are all closed. People are mostly staying home uncertain about what may happen as European tourists continue to evacuate their hotels. In some areas, men are standing on the roadside, arms crossed or looking at their phones. Some told us they were waiting for President Jammeh to go and would take to the streets once Mr Barrow was sworn in this afternoon. They said they wanted West African troops to come in as soon as possible. Some also told us they were worried about Mr Jammeh's actions should there be an offensive against him. But so far we have seen little presence of security forces in the city. Could there be conflict? - Joseph Winter, BBC News Hopefully not. The Gambia's army chief, previously seen as a close ally of Mr Jammeh, seems wary of action. "This is a political dispute. I am not going to involve my soldiers in a stupid fight. I love my men," the AFP news agency quotes Ousman Badjie as saying. However, he has little influence over an elite unit of fighters, called the Gambia National Guard, who may opt to fight even if vastly outnumbered by the Senegalese and Nigerian forces as they are from the same ethnic group as Mr Jammeh. The Gambia's armed forces is said to number 2,500. One key question is how ordinary Gambians see the Senegalese troops if they do cross the border. The Gambia and Senegal are made up of the same ethnic groups which were divided by colonial borders, so they speak the same languages and share the same culture. However, a fierce rivalry has developed between the two nations, with many Gambians feeling they are looked down on by their more numerous, French-speaking neighbours. So while supporters of Mr Barrow will presumably see any intervention favourably, there is also a danger that it could be seen as a foreign invasion force. Why is Mr Barrow in Senegal? Mr Barrow, a property developer who has never held public office, has been in Senegal since the weekend following an invitation to attend a summit of African leaders who back his victory. He did not even go back home when his eight-year-old son died after being mauled by a dog. He missed the funeral on Monday as he was advised to remain in Senegal for his safety. The president-elect tweeted and posted on Facebook that his inauguration would take place at 16:00 GMT at the embassy in the capital, Dakar. He has joined at least 26,000 Gambians, fearful of violence, who have sought refuge in Senegal. His spokesman says Mr Barrow's team is keen for a peaceful resolution, but accepts military intervention may be inevitable. "Ecowas is on the side of President Barrow - and if he's sworn in obviously he has to be at the State House. If the other side refused then you are simply talking about a state of war," Halifa Sallah told the BBC's Newshour programme. He said that President Jammeh had been given a letter promising that he would be given the same rights and privileges as Dawda Jawara, The Gambia's only other ex-president. Why is Mr Jammeh refusing to stand down? Mr Jammeh, who first came to power in a bloodless coup 22 years ago, initially accepted defeat, but later reversed his position. The electoral commission has accepted that some of the results it initially published contained errors, but said they would not have affected Mr Barrow's win. His legal challenge to have the vote annulled cannot be heard by the Supreme Court until May because of a lack of judges, so parliament has stepped in and extended his term in office by 90 days and imposed a three-month state of emergency. Human rights groups accuse Mr Jammeh, who has in the past claimed he can cure Aids and infertility, of repression. Retaining power would also ensure he was not prosecuted in The Gambia for alleged abuses committed during his rule.

The man who won The Gambia's disputed election says he will be sworn in as president at the country's embassy in neighbouring Senegal.

But having gone top when their match finished, they were usurped by Manchester United after their win over Leicester later in the day. Saints boss Mauricio Pellegrino, meanwhile, has made an unbeaten start in the Premier League with two draws and one victory. Media playback is not supported on this device Huddersfield have opened the league season with three successive clean sheets - only the second time a promoted side have done so after Charlton achieved the feat in 1997. Few would have predicted their flying start to the campaign, but David Wagner's side have been a breath of fresh air. "We have three clean sheets in the Premier League so I am very proud," said Wagner. "We will go into this international break with a smile on our face. "We wanted to show that we are brave. I am very happy." The visitors may not have made the most convincing start to the game, but they remain unbeaten in the league this season. And, were it not for Smith's late clearance, they would have stolen all three points, taking them - not the hosts - level on points with Manchester City. While much of the attention has been focused on the future of defender Virgil van Dijk, the Saints have made a steady start under Pellegrino. Despite Huddersfield having nine first-half shots, they showed defensive solidity, and will hope to welcome back the Dutchman once the transfer window shuts this week. Huddersfield manager David Wagner: "I was happy how brave we were in the first half. Unfortunately, we didn't score and this is why we have to accept the 0-0. "There were some good blocks and saves. We missed opportunities. Southampton had the best chances in the second half. "It was an unbelievable save on the goalline [from Tommy Smith]." Media playback is not supported on this device Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino: "We have to think about what we can do to be better in the next game. We have to keep going. Huddersfield are now really high. They are in a good moment. "We had chances in the last 15-20 minutes and put them under pressure. There were moments for us and moments for them. "It could have been three points, one point or none. It was tough from the beginning."

Summarize the following article: The Pontypridd men had spent £230 (300 euros) on the accommodation before realising their error in France. It was one of the many travel issues the Football Supporters' Federation (FSF) Cymru have been called on to help with. Vince Alm, of FSF, said: "We were trying not to laugh." He said the men turned up at the FSF fan embassy in Lens, ahead of Wales' 2-1 defeat to England on Friday. "They were looking for the Lens Switzerland Hotel," he said. "After further investigation we found they'd actually booked the hotel in Switzerland and not in Lens. "They had to lose their 300-euros-a-night and go and find something in Lille." He added: "The one was blaming the other and we were trying not to laugh because it is a lot of money." Mr Alm said there had been a lot of "good stories" relating to travel mishaps during Euro 2016. The FSF had to help 40 people who lost their coach to the UK in Lens. "A lot of them stopped to have a drink, maybe, or got themselves lost. And we had to assist them to get back to Paris and back to the UK." He said French police had also opened up a cell at a police station and allowed a fan to sleep inside with the door open because he had no money and nowhere to sleep. And there have been several fans who have fallen asleep drunk on the street who have been taken to hospital. The FSF have also alerted the authorities when fans have gone missing in France. "But we managed to get them all home and that's our job - to assist fans," he added, saying they have not had any "serious incidents". As Wales face Russia in Toulouse in their vital third group game on Monday night, fans face uncertainty as to if, where and when the team will next play at Euro 2016. The team could still top Group B or crash out of the tournament. If Wales qualify for the next round, the permutations mean they could play in Paris or Lens on Saturday, Lille on Sunday or Nice on Monday. With regards to ongoing travel, Mr Alm gave this advice: "Make sure you have it [your arrangements] done by Tuesday because the prices go up. "All these hotels are pre-booked in the different cities by the footballing authorities and just people taking a punt. "So, as soon as you know, get your travel plans in."

Two Welsh football fans accidentally booked a hotel in Lens, Switzerland, instead of Lens, France, for the team's Euro 2016 game against England.

Summarize the following article: The ruling means Ms Park becomes the first democratically elected president to be removed from office, and could face prosecution over corruption allegations. So what does this mean for the country? The constitutional court backed an impeachment vote by parliament last December. It said the now ex-president's actions had "betrayed the people's confidence" and were "a grave violation of law, which cannot be tolerated". Those actions were her alleged collusion with her close friend, Choi Soon-sil, to pressure South Korean companies into essentially buying favourable treatment from the government. Ms Choi, who held no public office, also had extraordinary access to official documents, even editing some of Ms Park's speeches. Ms Park has not had any presidential powers since December, when parliament voted to impeach her. An election must now be held within 60 days, and the candidates have been waiting in the wings. The new president will have to handle a public which has lost trust in the office, and come up with ways to stop such alleged abuses happening in the future. Many South Korean analysts question whether Ms Park's conservative bloc will recover in time to post a viable threat to the Democrats. Hwang Kyo-ahn has been acting president, but is not seen as a likely contender as he is too closely linked to the Park administration. Moon Jae-in, the former head of the opposition Democratic Party, is one possible frontrunner. He lost to Park in the 2012 election and has been gaining popularity during throughout the impeachment scandal. That is looking highly likely. Ms Park will now come under intense scrutiny from prosecutors, with no presidential immunity to protect her. If she does go on trial, it will be over a case linked to one of her few close relationships. Her friend Ms Choi is already on trial for a string of corruption offences, as is the de facto head of Samsung, one of the companies alleged to have funnelled money through Ms Choi's charitable foundations to win political favour. Everyone involved denies doing anything wrong. The case has rocked South Korea's business world, with the chiefs of Samsung and the national pension fund implicated in corruption. The scale of alleged bribery is colossal. Samsung alone is accused of paying bribes of 41bn won ($36m; £29m) to non-profit foundations operated by Ms Choi. Heads of other big family-run conglomerates - known locally as chaebol - have also been questioned but not charged over donations given to similar foundations. And some of the specifics, including Samsung admitting it spent about $1m on a horse for Ms Choi's daughter, have shocked Koreans. But these are huge global companies. There is nothing so far to suggest that customers are turning away from them in South Korea, let alone around the world. Just this week, Samsung was confirmed as having comfortably held its title as world's biggest seller of smartphones in 2016. Not bad in a year where its highest profile launch had to be recalled after batteries caught fire. Realistically, a far bigger economic threat now are measures Beijing has taken in response to Seoul's decision to allow a US anti-missile system to be installed. They include closing down South Korean businesses in China and discouraging Chinese tourists form visiting South Korea. Despite this shock, South Korea remains a stable democracy and economic powerhouse, so its relationships are unlikely to change. In many ways, the peaceful nature of the impeachment protests and the strength of rule of law play in the country's favour. The US has just begun rolling out a massive missile defence system in South Korea to protect against North Korean attacks and that won't be affected, but the incoming president will have to quickly make friends with the Trump administration to shore up the much-needed military support given by the US. A US spokesman told Reuters this was "a domestic issue" and the US remained "a steadfast ally, friend, and partner" to South Korea. Japan - which withdrew its envoy from South Korea recently in a row about wartime sex slavery - said it "needs to promote co-operation" with the new government "in various areas". North Korea's state media, which normally delays reporting international news, immediately reacted, calling Ms Park "a common criminal". North Korea has always been scathing of Ms Park - often using her gender to attack her. That rhetoric won't end, but a new leader could potentially help reinvigorate international discussions on how to handle the South's increasingly tempestuous northern neighbour. How do you fix North Korea?

A South Korean court has voted to uphold an impeachment vote against President Park Geun-hye.

Summarize the following article: The five men "should not roam scot-free as they are dangerous to society", she told the BBC. Police have arrested three of the five accused. The 21-year-old student had been pursuing a case in court against the men, when she was attacked and left for dead in Haryana state last week. She said she was forced inside a car and the men tried to strangle her. A passerby later took her to hospital. The woman, who is from a poor low-caste Dalit (formerly known as untouchables) family, was first assaulted in 2013 in Bhiwani town. Her family has alleged that they had moved to Rohtak after they were threatened by the accused who have been out on bail. Speaking to the BBC from her hospital bed, where she is recovering from her injuries, the woman said the five were the same men who had gang raped her in 2013. "These people gang-raped me in 2013. This time too, they're the accused," she said. "I know them very well. I only want justice. They should be hanged. It's not just only about me or anybody else's daughter. These people are dangerous," she said. Though she could not speak much due to health complications, her cousin said the victim's family "do not have faith" in the local police. "It took police seven days to arrest three of the five men identified by my sister. The accused were all roaming about here. We pleaded before the police. But their bias was obvious. We are being victimised because we are from a lower caste," he told the BBC. He said his family embraced Buddhism last year after being fed up of "caste discrimination". The victim's family has also alleged that the accused offered them money to withdraw the 2013 gang rape case. "When we refused the money, we were threatened," he said. The arrested men have been remanded to custody by a local court. The state government has also announced setting up of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident. The team is led by two senior police officials and includes forensic experts. Police official Mohammed Akil said the accused have handed over some CCTV footage claiming that they were at different places when the incident took place. "The matter is complicated and there are many aspects that have to be taken into consideration during the investigation. The SIT will do its job," Mr Akil told the BBC. The DNA samples of the accused were being sent for examination, he said. Family members of the arrested men, however, alleged that they were being "falsely implicated" in the case. They accused the victim's family of "demanding money" to withdraw the case. Garima, wife of one of the accused, said her husband Sandeep was in a different city on the day the incident was said to have taken place. Harbans, brother of accused Jagmohan, told the BBC that they had handed over evidence to the police to prove that his brother was "several kilometres away from the place of the incident". Police officials say that the matter has become complicated and only a thorough investigation will establish what actually happened. Nearly four years ago, a 23-year-old woman was brutally raped by multiple men and murdered on a bus in Delhi, causing global outrage. Tougher laws on sexual violence were introduced the year after, including a new death sentence if a person was convicted of rape a second time. But correspondents in India say questions are being asked about how five men who were accused of a serious sexual crime could have been free to conduct another attack.

A woman in India who was allegedly gang raped for the second time in three years by the same men says she wants "stringent action" against the accused.

Summarize the following article: Sunderland's Grindon Hall Christian School and Durham Free School were both rated inadequate following inspections in November. The schools subsequently complained about the conduct of the inspectors. Ofsted said no issues were raised during the inspections. A full investigation is under way. Grindon Hall principal Chris Gray said the inspector's questioning was "hostile" and "inappropriate", claiming pupils were asked leading questions about homosexuality, race and other faiths. In a statement, Ofsted said initial interviews with the three inspectors who visited the schools had found no evidence they acted incorrectly. The statement said the allegations were serious but had not been raised with inspectors during the visits. Ofsted said: "We have undertaken a detailed examination of the evidence base, interviewed each of the three inspectors who carried out the inspection and have held a separate meeting between the principal and Ofsted's North East regional director in respect of these allegations. "To date, we have found no evidence to indicate that inspectors failed to act with care and sensitivity and to ask age-appropriate questions when they spoke to pupils, as they are trained to do." Durham Free School complained the inspectors based their conclusion that "pupils were not being prepared for modern British life" on an interview with one student. Ofsted said: "In reaching their conclusions about the effectiveness of the school's work inspectors considered a wide range of evidence. "Discussions with students formed just a part of the evidence." Ofsted criticised both schools for not tackling "prejudice-based bullying" and the use of racist or homophobic language by students. Both schools said they did not recognise Ofsted's portrayal of them. The body also said it visited two other schools in the North East in November but neither raised any concerns. After their report was published, education secretary Nicky Morgan said she was terminating the funding for Durham Free School, which has 94 pupils.

Ofsted says it found no evidence its inspectors acted inappropriately while visiting two free schools subsequently placed in special measures.

Summarize the following article: Gary Doherty was appointed chief executive of Betsi Cadwaladr health board in February after moving from an NHS trust in Blackpool. "There's less fragmentation here, what you've got are GPs, hospital doctors, community nurses and other staff all in the same organisation," he said. His predecessor stepped down after the board was placed in special measures. Mr Doherty criticised the English NHS, saying because GPs, hospital staff and other employees work for different organisations, they sometimes end up competing with each other rather than working together. "One of the reasons why I wanted to come is here is because it is different and because I think it is better," he added. "The way those organisations worked with each other with contracts and other things I don't think was particularly helpful in England. "You could make it work if you had good relationships, but here, we've got an organisational advantage." Mr Doherty said improving waiting times in accident and emergency departments in north Wales was essential in order to get the health board out of special measures. "What happens in A&E is in a sense a measure of a bigger system that we need to change, whether it's what happens in a patients own home, whether it's what happens with their GP or what happens on discharge, either to a nursing home or the patient's own home."

A troubled health board's new boss has said the structure of the NHS in Wales is better than the one in England.

Summarize the following article: SNP MSP Christian Allard - who is a French national - will lead a debate to commemorate the victims of the Paris attack, which left 12 people dead. Another five people were also killed by Islamist gunmen over the next two days. Mr Allard said the right to free speech was essential, and an attack on cartoonists and journalists was "an attack on us all". He added: "The tragic attack on Charlie Hebdo was not just an attack on one magazine. It was an attack on the principle of free speech. "Charlie Hebdo has responded to this attack in the best possible way - to keep on doing what they were doing before. To be outrageous, to mock and to challenge us all. "One year on, let us make sure that we continue to respond to terrorism by valuing and embracing freedom of speech and our right to disagree. Rather than 7 January solely being an anniversary of terrorism we should celebrate it as Cartoonists' Day." Cartoonist Terry Anderson will lead a discussion on freedom of expression at the parliament's cross-party group on France following the debate in the main Holyrood chamber. The Charlie Hebdo attack was carried out by brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, who forced their way into its offices, shooting dead 11 people and injuring 11 others. They later shot dead a French National Police officer outside the building. The gunmen said they belonged to the Yemen branch of the Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda, which took responsibility for the attack. Both brothers died on 9 January 2014 after being shot by police following a siege in Dammartin-en-Goele, about 20 miles north east of Paris.

The Scottish Parliament is to mark the anniversary of the terror attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine.

Summarize the following article: Villagers in Cornhill, near Banff, had been enjoying the annual event at the playing fields on Saturday afternoon. After a spell of "beautiful" sunshine, the storm blew in, wreaking havoc on the park and lifting the first aid tent over a marquee and into the arena. No-one was seriously hurt, but the games secretary Shona Hay said the noise was terrifying. "Ten minutes before this we had a beautiful sunny day," she said. "It was just torrential. Everybody ran for cover and a wind seemed to appear from nowhere and lifted our first aid tent and some of the stall holders' tents. "And then the noise was just terrifying - the noise of the wind and the folks screaming." She added: "The wind just swept through the park tearing up the tents, just clearing the arena and everything in its path. It swept through the village and five minutes later it was flat calm again."

A Highland Games in a north-east village had to be abandoned after a "mini tornado" swept through the site.

Summarize the following article: Media playback is not supported on this device Bob Bradley was sacked on Tuesday after just 85 days in charge, with the Swans 19th in the Premier League. Giggs, 43, was interviewed twice before Bradley's appointment in October. Former Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson, ex-Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew and ex-Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett are also in the frame. Bradley's permanent successor is not expected to take charge before their Premier League match at home to Bournemouth on New Year's Eve. First-team coaches Alan Curtis and Paul Williams will take the reins temporarily for that game, but the Swans are keen to make a swift appointment. Boxing Day's 4-1 home defeat by West Ham was Swansea's seventh in 11 games since Bradley took over and leaves them on 12 points, above bottom side Hull on goal difference. At the time of Bradley's arrival, Swansea were above the relegation zone on goal difference but have picked up just eight points out of a possible 33 since, conceding 29 goals in the process. Swansea Chairman Huw Jenkins is known to be a huge admirer of ex-Wales winger Giggs, who has taken some time out after leaving Old Trafford in the summer following two years working as Louis van Gaal's assistant. However, after being snubbed in favour of Bradley, it is not known whether Giggs retains an interest in the job. Swansea-born Coleman, 46, spent four years with the club as a player at the start of his career and has experience in the Premier League as a manager, having spent four years at Fulham after taking over from Jean Tigana in 2003. He signed a two-year contract extension with Wales in May before guiding them to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 this summer. However, it is understood Swansea could offer him a bigger salary than the one he is currently on and with Wales presently third in their qualifying group, there is a possibility they may miss out on a place at the 2018 World Cup. Giggs' only managerial experience was a four-game stint as Manchester United's interim player-manager at the end of the 2013-14 season. He had worked under David Moyes earlier in that campaign and was assistant manager to van Gaal afterwards, but left in July following Jose Mourinho's appointment. The former Wales captain spoke with Swansea's hierarchy on two occasions before Bradley was appointed, and the club's chairman Huw Jenkins is thought to have been impressed by Giggs. Rene Meulensteen, Manchester United's former first team coach, believes Giggs would be well suited to Swansea. "I don't agree with Ryan not having management [experience]. He's got his apprenticeship in his time as an assistant manager at Manchester United," the Dutchman told BBC Radio 5 Live. "Is it the right time for him? He has to start somewhere. And in many ways when he was linked with Swansea [in October], I thought it would be a really good club for him. "The club needs to sort itself out now because it's lost its stability and continuity it's had over the last five or six years."

Swansea City hope to have a new manager in place by Monday, with Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs and Wales boss Chris Coleman the leading candidates.

Summarize the following article: Mustafa Bashir, 34, also forced bleach and pills into Fakhara Karim's mouth, Manchester Crown Court heard. But Judge Richard Mansell said Ms Karim was not vulnerable as she was "an intelligent woman with a network of friends" and a degree. Charity Refuge said the comments showed "shocking ignorance". Sandra Horley, chief executive of Refuge, said: "[The judge's] comments - that he was not convinced of the victim's 'vulnerability' - show a shocking ignorance around the impact of domestic violence on women. "What a woman does for a job, her level of education or the number of friends she has makes no difference; for any woman, domestic violence is a devastating crime that has severe and long-lasting impacts." The court was told Bashir, of Hebers Court, Middleton, Manchester, and Ms Karim married in 2013 but the stormy relationship lasted less than two years. Prosecutor Roger Brown highlighted a row in April 2014. "He took her into the bathroom where he grabbed a bottle of bleach and he made her drink the bleach so she would kill herself. She spat that out as she was unable to swallow it. "Then he gave her tablets from the house and told her to take them. She did but again she was unable to swallow them," he said. Another argument in December 2014 led to Bashir, who played cricket for Oldham, strangling her, hitting her with the bat and saying, "If I hit you with this bat with my full power then you would be dead", the court heard. But sentencing Bashir, Judge Mansell said Ms Karim was neither trapped nor isolated. "She is plainly an intelligent woman with a network of friends and did go on to graduate university with a 2:1 and a masters - although this has had an ongoing effect on her. "She has difficult trusting people now, especially men." An apparent defence claim, noted by the judge, that a prison sentence would have lost Bashir a contract with Leicestershire County Cricket Club has been rejected by the club, which denies any contact. Bashir admitted two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Passing an 18-month jail term suspended for two years, the judge also ordered Bashir to attend a workshop entitled ''building better relationships'', pay £1,000 costs and banned him from contacting Ms Karim indefinitely. The BBC has approached Bashir's lawyers for comment.

A domestic abuse charity has criticised the 18-month suspended sentence given to a man who admitted attacking his then wife with a cricket bat.

Summarize the following article: The 27-year-old former Crewe Alexandra player becomes Darrell Clarke's second new signing of the summer. He follows this week's arrival of central defender Peter Hartley from League Two side Plymouth Argyle. But Moore becomes the fifth Vale player to leave Burslem, having turned down the offer of a reduced contract at the up-for-sale Potteries club. Defender Richard Duffy has moved on to non-league Eastleigh, while midfielder Michael O'Connor has already indicated that he will end his two-year association with the club and is considering offers from three clubs in England and one from abroad. Strikers Louis Dodds and AJ Leitch-Smith have joined Shrewsbury Town, who have also signed released Vale defender Ryan McGivern. Stoke-born Moore, who made the short move to Burslem from Gresty Road in 2014, found the net six times in 59 appearances in his two years with Vale, the majority of which came last season. He scored 33 times in 297 games in his seven seasons with Crewe, where he graduated through the club's Academy. Port Vale owner Norman Smurthwaite is due to name his new manager, expected to be the club's first foreign boss, early next week. Smurthwaite had already set a deadline of next Tuesday (21 June) to announce who would succeed Rob Page. Much-travelled Portuguese coach Bruno Ribeiro, the former Leeds United and Sheffield United midfielder, is now the bookmakers' hot favourite, ahead of Shefki Kuqi.

Summarize the following article: The state's Supreme Court acted hours before convicted murderers Don Davis and Bruce Ward were due to die, but the Davis decision could yet be reversed. Their lawyers had argued they were mentally unfit to face execution and were denied proper assessment. But there was a victory for the state when a federal court lifted an order that blocked all seven executions. A blanket ruling made on Saturday that the executions could not go ahead on the grounds that the lethal injection causes suffering has been overruled. The unprecedented pace at which Arkansas plans to put the seven men to death has drawn international attention. It is driven by the state's desire to use a batch of drugs before it expires later this month. But it has been condemned by critics as an inhumane "assembly line". There were two rulings - in the first, the Arkansas Supreme Court stayed the executions of Davis and Ward, in a 4-3 decision. They have each spent more than 20 years on death row. The state attorney general's office said it would not appeal against the stay for Ward. It did appeal against the stay for Davis but the US Supreme Court upheld it in a last-minute decision on Monday. Davis had already been served his last meal and moved to the Cummins Unit, which holds the lethal injection gurney. In the other decision, the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals in St Louis cancelled the weekend ruling to halt all seven executions. Bruce Ward - Strangled teenage shop clerk Rebecca Doss Don Davis - Condemned for the execution-style killing of Jane Daniel as he burgled her home Stacey Johnson - Murdered Carol Heath, who was beaten, strangled and had her throat slit Ledell Lee - Bludgeoned Debra Reese to death with a tyre iron her husband had given her for protection Jack Jones - Condemned for the rape and murder of accounts clerk Mary Phillips, and the nearly fatal beating of her 11-year-old daughter Marcel Williams - Raped and murdered Stacey Erickson, after kidnapping her from a convenience store Kenneth Williams - Murdered farmer Cecil Boren during an escape from prison where Williams had been incarcerated for murdering cheerleader Dominique Hurd Like many US states, Arkansas has struggled to find the drugs it needs to carry out executions. Its last was in 2005. The state's use of midazolam in its three-drug cocktail is controversial, because opponents of the death penalty say it is not effective at rendering the inmate unconscious. The drug raised concerns after it was used in executions in three US states in 2014 that took longer than usual. There are five more executions in Arkansas scheduled to happen by the end of April, so expect daily legal arguments on both sides. The state is determined these executions be carried out, but those who have campaigned against the methods of execution will do all they can to block them.

The top court in Arkansas has halted two executions that were due to start a series of seven in 11 days.

Summarize the following article: Craig Logan, 22, died at the Ayrshire facility in February 2015 after he became trapped while checking a fault that had halted the crane. At Kilmarnock Sheriff Court, operator Clydeport pleaded guilty to health and safety breaches. These included failing to make risk assessments and ensure safe working systems from July 2014 until the death. The lapses also included failing to ensure the north unloader crane cab was electrically isolated so it could not restart unexpectedly, or to provide means for workers to communicate with each other. Clydeport also failed to provide access to a lift and sling system so staff did not have to move the cab physically, or identify risks of injury from freeing the cab when it was stuck, or falling from the boom. The court heard that the tragedy happened the day before a safety assessment was due to be made, following the departure of key managers with responsibility for health and safety. Sheriff Shirley Foran expressed sympathy to Mr Logan's family and said the penalty she had to impose "in no ways reflects the value of his life." Sheriff Foran added that the absence of a qualified risk assessment engineer and health and safety manager for seven to eight months before the incident meant the company "knew they were thereby exposed." The assessment due the day after Mr Logan's death was the "most bitter of ironies", Sheriff Foran added. A spokesman for Clydeport, which has previous health and safety convictions, said outside court: "We failed to meet the very high standards we set ourselves and a young man tragically paid with his life, for which we are sincerely sorry. "The failures which contributed to this tragic accident should have been avoided and indeed, a full external health and safety review was already due to start the day after Craig died. "Since the accident, we have comprehensively reviewed our approach to health and safety at Hunterston to do everything possible to ensure there can be no repeat."

A port operator has been fined £300,000 after a worker was crushed to death on a crane at Hunterston coal terminal.

Summarize the following article: Actress and co-writer Ruth Jones and comedian Rob Brydon were among the mourners along with other cast members. Co-star and writer James Corden said John, from Swansea, was an "incredible lady" who "will be sadly missed". A private funeral service was held at Morriston crematorium for the actress who played Doris in the TV comedy. Larry Lamb, from EastEnders, and Master and Commander star Robert Pugh were also among the 150 mourners. John, who received a Bafta Cymru lifetime achievement award in 2009, was a widow who had no children. Her ashes will be scattered over Swansea Bay by the crew of the Mumbles Lifeboat. Although known in recent years for her colourful one-liners in Barry-based Gavin and Stacey, the actress had a long and distinguished career, leaving drama school in 1950. Her earlier career included a brief spell in Coronation Street in 1965 as well as a role in Z Cars, Dr Who, Dixon of Dock Green and Emmerdale Farm. John also starred in David Schwimmer's British film comedy Run Fatboy Run (2007), and enjoyed recent appearances in medical dramas Casualty and Doctors, and the BBC drama Framed. She played the part of Elsie 'Mam' Hepplewhite in BBC Wales comedy High Hopes between 2002 and 2008, starring alongside Robert Blythe and Boyd Clack.

Fellow stars of Gavin and Stacey attended the funeral of actress Margaret John, 84, who died after a short illness earlier this month.

Summarize the following article: Media playback is not supported on this device In an interview with BBC Radio 5 live a few minutes after the incident, Sullivan said there had been no attack on the coach. But he backtracked in a message posted on the West Ham website on Wednesday. He said he had been "unaware of the damage that had occurred" at the time and vowed to "track down" the culprits. West Ham have already said they will issue life bans to any fans found responsible for the attack, which smashed a window on the bus and delayed the kick-off by 45 minutes. Bottles were also thrown at Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea during the Premier League match, while another fan invaded the pitch to confront the Spaniard. Media playback is not supported on this device Tuesday's game, which West Ham won 3-2, was the last at the Boleyn Ground before the Hammers move to the Olympic Stadium. The Football Association has also condemned the "unsavoury incidents" and plans to work with both clubs and the Metropolitan Police to investigate the matters. "If we were to have scripted how our final game at the Boleyn would have played out, it wouldn't have been much different to last night's match," Sullivan added. "The West Ham family then all celebrated our legends and former players together in what was a truly fitting ceremony to say goodbye to our home of 112 years. "Sadly, the actions of very small minority of people outside the ground prior to kick-off risks overshadowing those celebrations. Their behaviour was completely unacceptable and does not represent our club or our values." The Metropolitan Police said on Wednesday that four police officers had been injured during the trouble but no arrests have been made over criminal damage to the coach. Three men were arrested during the game, including a 20-year-old on suspicion of affray and a 47-year-old and 18-year-old for pitch incursion. Officers from the Met's Central Football Unit are looking at CCTV footage and have appealed for witnesses.

West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has apologised to Manchester United after their team bus was damaged before Tuesday's game at Upton Park.

Summarize the following article: Nelson Jobim is the third minister to lose his job since Ms Rousseff took office in January - a turnover that has strained her governing coalition. He is reported to have called one fellow minister a "weakling" and described others as "idiots". Mr Jobim will be replaced by the former Foreign Minister, Celso Amorim. Nelson Jobim is one of several ministers who also served under Ms Rousseff's predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He is said to have been angry that Ms Rousseff overruled him on a multi-billion dollar contract to buy fighter jets. In recent weeks he been reported as making a series of critical remarks about fellow ministers. First he said at an opposition event that he was surrounded by "idiots". Then he said in a television interview that he had voted for Ms Rousseff's opponent Jose Serra in last year's presidential election. The final straw appears to have been a magazine interview, parts of which have been leaked, in which he reportedly called another minister a "weakling". Mr Jobim's resignation is the third to shake Ms Rousseff's government since she took office on 1 January. Last month, her Transport Minister Alfredo Nascimento resigned over a corruption scandal in his department, though he denied any wrongdoing. And in June her chief of staff, Antonio Palocci, stepped down in the face of questions about his rapid accumulation of personal wealth.

President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil has replaced her defence minister after he made disparaging remarks about other senior officials.

Summarize the following article: A woman and three children were rescued after crews were sent to Deevale Road in Kincorth at 09:35 on Saturday. Police said the child and a 39-year-old woman suffered serious injuries and all four were taken to hospital. All four, including a 12-year-old girl and another five-year-old girl, were taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. An investigation is underway to establish the cause of the fire. Insp Finn McPhail said: "We are currently treating the fire as unexplained and our investigation is at a very early stage. "I would urge anyone with information that could help, or anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything, to contact police on 101." A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) spokesman said: "The caller reported being trapped by smoke on the first floor of the two-storey house and officers at Operations Control provided survival advice over the phone while directing frontline crews. "All four casualties were passed to the care of paramedics and taken to hospital by ambulance. "SFRS crews continued working to clear smoke from the property using a positive pressure ventilation fan and they checked a neighbouring home for any smoke travel. "Four fire engines and a support vehicle were sent to the scene and specialist officers from a Fire Investigation Unit will work to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident."

Two people, including a five-year-old girl, have been seriously hurt in a house fire in Aberdeen.

Summarize the following article: The Shrewsbury 24 document was handed in to 10 Downing Street by union leaders and Royle Family actor Ricky Tomlinson - one of the 24. The group was accused of intimidating workers and violent picketing in Telford, Shropshire, in 1972. They want documents relating to the case to be released. Steve Murphy, general secretary of construction union Ucatt, said the petition was "outstanding". "It demonstrates the determination of the pickets to win justice and also the public's support for their cause," he said. "Parliament now has a moral duty to debate the case and the government must come clean and publish all the papers relating to the pickets' case." The pickets were arrested five months after the 1972 building workers' strike and charged under the 1875 Conspiracy Act. Six were sent to prison, including Mr Tomlinson. Eileen Turnbull, the campaign group's researcher, said: "We are delighted with the progress we are making and we are convinced that the unjust convictions will be overturned." Rail Maritime and Transport union leader Bob Crow said: "It is clear that there was a conspiracy at the highest level in 1972 to blacklist and fit up trade union activists and it is time for all the papers to be released and for those that were wrongly imprisoned to be given justice at last."

A 100,000-signature petition has been handed to government by campaigners trying to quash 40-year-old convictions against 24 pickets.

Summarize the following article: The 50-year-old victim was attacked on Railway Road in Leigh at about 23:30 BST on Wednesday. Police said he had personal items stolen from him before an ambulance arrived to take him to hospital, where he later died. A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is being questioned by police. An investigation has been launched and a cordon is in place near the Oceans Eleven chip shop. Det Ch Insp Jane Little said: "This was a violent attack and we are appealing for anybody who may have witnessed it or have information on the circumstances surrounding it to please contact police."

A man died after a "violent attack" and robbery by a group of people in Greater Manchester, police said.

Summarize the following article: The statue of a Gurkha soldier will be erected on the site in Folkestone Garden of Remembrance in Sandgate Road later this year. The Nepalese community in the town has raised more than £60,000 since 2009. "It was a really long campaign and the people of Folkestone are really excited to have this unique Gurkha memorial statue," said organiser Dhan Gurung. It is expected that the statue, by sculptor Rebecca Hawkins, will be unveiled in early October as one of the final acts of public commemoration of 200 years of Gurkha service to the UK. The Royal Gurkha Rifles are based at Sir John Moore Barracks at Shorncliffe in Folkestone and many retired soldiers as well as friends and family have settled in the area. "This is the right time to have this unveiling," said Mr Gurung. "We are marking 200 years of sharing together between the British community and the Gurkha community."

A ceremony to bless the ground has taken place before the construction of a Gurkha memorial begins in Kent.

Summarize the following article: Petrov, 36, has been recovering from an acute form of leukaemia, which was first diagnosed in 2012. But he has now been invited to join up with Villa for their pre-season training camp in Austria on 7 July. The 105-times capped Bulgaria international is still hopeful of making a return to football. And, although it is now three years since he officially retired from professional football, Villa have always kept the door open for him. He is now looking to improve his fitness ahead of the new season, as he needs group training at a level higher than that at which he has been playing. He has initially been invited to train for a month on a non-contract basis with Villa, who start life in the Championship with a trip to face Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on 7 August, having been relegated to the second tier for the first time since 1987. Petrov was then Villa boss Martin O'Neill's first signing when he arrived from Celtic for £6.5m in August 2006. He first showed symptoms of leukaemia after developing a fever following a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal in March 2012 and was diagnosed with the disease a few days later after making 218 appearances for Villa and more than 500 in British football. He had four months of chemotherapy before it was announced in August of the same year that the disease was in remission. Fuelled by the love and support of the Villa fans, he has since set up a foundation to help leukaemia sufferers. "For both sides this makes a lot of sense. "Petrov can continue to get fitter and fitter in an environment he's familiar with around people that respect him. "For Villa, if he proves to be fit enough to make a return to the game then they'll surely have first refusal on his services. "He'll learn a lot about how his body is when he joins up with Villa in Austria and flies into his first 50-50 challenge. "But the very fact that he's at this stage is nothing short of remarkable and says an awful lot about the man himself."

Former Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov is to resume training with the first team, after more than four years away from football.

Summarize the following article: Rooney surged forward after 78 minutes to meet a Jonny Evans long ball and send a cool finish into the far corner for his 10th goal in as many games. The striker had earlier hit the post in an open match in which both teams threatened, with Fulham's Bryan Ruiz also denied by the woodwork. Ruiz also had a header cleared off the line before Rooney's goal. Media playback is not supported on this device In a frantic finale, Fulham were denied an equaliser when United striker Robin van Persie cleared a Philippe Senderos header off the line. And with the home side exposed as they pushed for a leveller, Javier Hernandez then broke clear and only some smart goalkeeping from Mark Schwarzer denied the United forward. The visitors survived the remainder of stoppage time to secure a victory that puts extra pressure on second-placed Manchester City, who play Liverpool on Sunday. A match interrupted by a floodlight failure just before half-time looked like being a frustrating one for United but, as so often this season, the quality of their forward line came to their rescue. Fulham were beaten 5-0 in the corresponding fixture last season and 4-1 in the FA Cup by the Red Devils last week but they were a different proposition this time around. The Cottagers created the first opening when Hugo Rodallega broke clear and pulled the ball back for Ashkan Dejagah, who mistimed his shot. The chance sparked an open spell as both teams adopted the approach that attack was the best form of defence, the woodwork intervening on four occasions in the first half. Fulham somehow survived a goalmouth scramble that began when Schwarzer pulled off a reaction save after Van Persie's corner came off defender Brede Hangeland. Patrice Evra latched on to the loose ball, only for his shot to hit the bar before Rooney's follow-up was cleared off the line by Sascha Riether. If the visitors could not believe they were not in front, they were soon relieved not to be behind as Fulham twice went close in quick succession. First, a long-range John Arne Riise strike was tipped over by United keeper David de Gea before a counter-attack from the home side culminated in a Ruiz shot from the edge of the area that came back off the post. Hangeland, proving more of a hindrance than a help to the home side, then again went close to scoring an own goal when he inadvertently headed a corner against his own bar. Just when it seemed the game might calm down, United midfielder Tom Cleverley laid the ball off for Rooney, whose shot came back off the post. The players were forced off the field briefly when the floodlights failed before returning to play out the remainder of the first half in less frantic fashion than hitherto. Hangeland, who had picked up a knock, was replaced by Aaron Hughes at the start of a second half that saw Van Persie tamely head into the arms of Schwarzer when well-placed. As Fulham stood firm, United's frustration was reflected in the gestures from manager Sir Alex Ferguson in the visitors' dug-out. And the Scot's mood was not helped when centre-back Rio Ferdinand was caught in possession and Giorgos Karagounis dragged a 20-yard shot wide. Media playback is not supported on this device The sides traded chances as they chased a win. Nani had a shot deflected high for the visitors, while Ruiz failed to get enough power on an effort for the hosts after Riether's effort had been parried by De Gea. With time running out, Rafael Da Silva cleared a Ruiz header off the United goal-line and it proved crucial as a clearance over the top from Evans released Rooney, who guided an expert strike around Hughes and past Schwarzer for the winner. Fulham manager Martin Jol: "We did well in midfield and at the back. It was one of our better performances this season. "But they are capable of creating something out of nothing, as Rooney did. Now, I think they will win it [the Premier League title]." He added: "We did well to get the lights on again. Normally it takes a long time. I feared when we came back our concentration was down and we would end up conceding a goal but it wasn't a problem."

Wayne Rooney's late winner at Fulham helped Manchester United extend their Premier League lead to 10 points.

Summarize the following article: Mr Rouhani's election has been endorsed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at a ceremony in the capital, Tehran. He won the presidential poll in June, promising to reform and to put an end to Iran's international isolation. The ceremony marks the handover of power, but his public inauguration does not take place until Sunday. The 64-year-old is a former nuclear negotiator for Iran and was an Islamic activist before the 1979 Revolution. Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Rouhani said: ''I have assumed this responsibility with the support of those people who want change, who want a better life, away from corruption, poverty and discrimination, people who want more respect and dignity, and hope in a secure future." He has the support of Iran's reform movement, which wants the new president to release political prisoners and have international sanctions lifted. But while he may be taking over as president, he will not be Iran's main decision-maker, says the BBC's Iran correspondent James Reynolds in London. Rouhani inauguration: Iranian voices Profile: Hassan Rouhani In the Islamic Republic, it is the Supreme Leader, not the president, who has the final say, our correspondent adds. The day before he took office, Mr Rouhani called Israel an "old wound on the body of the Islamic world", as Iran marked its annual Jerusalem (Quds) Day. His remarks echo those of other Iranian leaders on the day dedicated to supporting the Palestinians and denouncing Israel. Iran has denied Israel's right to exist since the 1979 Islamic revolution. In his last interview before stepping aside on Friday, Mr Ahmadinejad also attacked Israel, warning of "storm brewing" in the region that would uproot Zionism, according to AFP news agency. Many Iranians believe Mr Ahmadinejad, elected twice in controversial polls, has put Iran on the path to economic ruin and confrontation with the outside world. Correction 23 August 2013: This story has been amended to make clear that Hassan Rouhani's remarks on Jerusalem Day alluded to the state of Israel, rather than just areas under its occupation.

Cleric Hassan Rouhani has officially replaced Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president of Iran.

Summarize the following article: The higher-end version of the Gear S3 can now connect directly to 4G mobile networks - its predecessor was limited to 3G. Other firms are also announcing new smartwatches at Berlin's Ifa tech show, including Asus, Withings and Fossil. They do so shortly after the sector experienced its first drop in demand, according to a recent report. IDC said shipments of smartwatches were 32% lower in the April-to-June quarter than they were during the same period in 2015. Much of this was, however, due to a decline in sales of Apple's Watch, which had been on sale for a year and has yet to receive an update. Both versions of Samsung's watch now feature a 1.3in (3cm) circular screen - a slight improvement on the 1.2in dimension of last years' line-up. This is made possible, in part, by boosting the battery capacity of both to 380mAh. The firm says that should deliver up to four days of life between charges. Only the Frontier version of the Gear S3 supports 4G, which would involve a mobile data contract. The Classic option relies on a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone. The devices are also the first confirmed to use Corning's new Gorilla Glass SR+, which is said to offer similar scratch resistance to sapphire. As before, the devices run on the Tizen operating system and can buy goods via the Samsung Pay mobile wallet service. But they now have the ability to mimic the signal produced by the magnetic strips of credit and debit cards, meaning they can be used when stores do not have NFC (near-field communication) pay terminals. Despite these upgrades, one expert suggested it was improvements to the styling of their buttons and case that were most significant. "It's really minor detailing, but on someone's wrist the devices immediately look more like classic watches and less like the geek-ware," said Ben Wood from the CCS Insight. "But the big question is: Do consumers want 'full-touch' watches? "We believe that the smart analogue watch is the area where there's a bigger opportunity." Nokia's Withings division is among those taking this latter approach. Rather than seek to put a touchscreen on people's wrists, its Activite devices combine a standard quartz clock-movement with fitness tracking sensors that send readings to smartphones. The firm has yet to make an official announcement, but banners at Ifa indicate its latest model adds a heart rate sensor to the mix. Asus, however, is sticking with touchscreens and Google's Android Wear operating system. Its new ZenWatch 3 has a circular face, marking a shift from earlier square designs. The 1.4in display is larger than Samsung's. However, the device has a lower water resistance rating and no way to connect directly to mobile networks. "Asus and others face the same challenge with smartwatches as they do with smartphones," said Mr Wood. "Apple and Samsung's marketing budgets outgun them and risk obliterating consumer interest."

Samsung has added bigger screens and batteries, and more scratch-resistant glass to its latest two smartwatches.

Summarize the following article: Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT) was rated as "inadequate" in February 2015 when the Care Quality Commission (CQC) reported it was "not a safe... service". Its overall rating has since risen to "requires improvement". The trust said it would continue to make improvements. However, the trust is still rated as "inadequate" for safety, which the Campaign to Save Mental Health Services in Norfolk and Suffolk described as "worrying". Last year's CQC report expressed concerns about a lack of beds and said "urgent action" was needed. If found insufficient staffing levels to safely meet patients' needs, inadequate arrangements for medication management and concerns regarding seclusion and restraint practice Despite collection of data by the trust "there was little evidence of the use of intelligence and data to inform performance". The lack of beds "meant that people did not always receive the right care at the right time and sometimes people were moved, discharged early or managed within an inappropriate service". But following a new inspection, England's chief inspector of hospitals Prof Sir Mike Richards recommended to NHS Improvement (NHSI) that special measures now be removed. He said: "Our return to Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust showed significant improvement had taken place… The trust's staff and leadership should be proud of their achievement so far…" "The trust leadership knows what it must do now to ensure those changes take place." Michael Scott, chief executive of the trust, said the announcement was "great news", adding: "It is a real testament to all of the hard work and commitment of our staff, and it's reassuring for our patients. To have made this positive shift in just over a year and a half is a real achievement and we are incredibly proud of the progress we have made together in all parts of our trust." NHSI said: "Today's removal of the trust from special measures reflects significant improvement at the trust and a confidence in the leadership." A spokesman for the Campaign to Save Mental Health Services in Norfolk and Suffolk said: "It is worrying, 18 months after NSFT's failure, that the CQC inspectors have found that NSFT still lacks the leadership, beds, doctors and other staff to deliver safe mental health services. "The CQC shares our concern about the alarmingly high number of patient deaths which have continued to rise during NSFT's time in special measures. MPs, health commissioners and NHS England must, as a matter of great urgency, ensure that NSFT has the leadership and resources to stop the dramatic rise in patient deaths and deliver safe and comprehensive mental health services in Norfolk and Suffolk."

A mental health trust has been taken out of special measures, 20 months after it became the first in England to have the conditions imposed.

Summarize the following article: The professional dancer lifted the glitterball trophy with BBC presenter Ore Oduba in December. Oksana Platero - who danced with Judge Rinder - is also leaving the show, as is Natalie Lowe, who announced she was stepping down last month. The new dancers are Amy Dowden, from South Wales, Australian Dianne Buswell and Nadiya Bychkova from Ukraine. They will join the show alongside the remaining professional dancers when the contest returns to BBC One in September. Joanne, who is currently starring in a tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie, said she would be sad to leave her Strictly "family" behind. She said: "Being part of the Strictly experience has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me and I will miss the show so much. "It's been a tough decision but I am looking forward to facing new challenges and focusing on my musical theatre career." The dancer, who also won the 2015 Christmas special with Harry Judd, will take part in the first show of the series to perform with Ore. Oksana, who only joined the show last year, said: "I had an unforgettable time working alongside such amazing dancers and an even better time with Judge Rinder. "It was an opportunity of a lifetime and I will never forget it. Thank you so much for the memories." New dancer Amy, from Caerphilly, is British national champion of Latin dancing and also one of the highest-ranking ballroom and Latin American professional dancers in the UK. She said: "Becoming a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing has made my wildest dreams come true, it does not feel real! "I have always been proud of my Welsh roots and feel so honoured to be the first Welsh professional dancer on the most loved show on TV." Dianne is an Australian Open Champion and has taken part in Dancing with the Stars Australia and the Broadway production of Burn the Floor.

Summarize the following article: After an initial investigation, further allegations emerged in April, leading British Canoeing to approach UK Sport to help commission a second probe. That was completed and a disciplinary hearing had begun, but it has now been abandoned. British Canoeing said the resignation of the performance team coach "brings the disciplinary process to an end". The British team enjoyed its most successful Olympic Games in Rio last year, with competitors winning two gold medals and two silvers. ParalympicsGB then claimed three gold and two bronze medals at the Rio Paralympics, where they topped the medal table. April's revelations came amid mounting concern over the culture of high-performance programmes at British sports, and whether medal success has come at the expense of athlete welfare. And on Thursday, British Olympic bobsleigh athlete Rebekah Wilson told BBC Sport she would secretly cut and try to concuss herself as the "intense pressure" of training took its toll. Earlier this year, BBC Sport revealed British Swimming is conducting an investigation after bullying complaints were made by a number of Paralympians about a coach. And British Cycling apologised for various "failings" after an independent review into allegations of bullying and sexism.

A British Canoeing coach who has been suspended since December amid abuse allegations has resigned.

Summarize the following article: Stead has scored three goals in three games as Notts County have won three from five under Jamie Fullarton. But Stead was often deployed wider and deeper by previous boss Ricardo Moniz. "The problem was Ricardo didn't really know me as a player. The new gaffer wanted me straight back up top and that is where I am utilised best," the 32-year-old told BBC Radio Nottingham. Stead has managed a total of 11 goals in 32 appearances this season, with seven in his last 12 matches. But he said he is much more comfortable playing centrally. He added: "I have moved back to what I am used to, playing up top and coming to link at times. "Playing deeper and wider is a different part to my game and I enjoyed it, but it's not what I have been doing for the last 15 years and I feel like I am more effective playing down the middle, playing with somebody." And he said his chances of adding to his goal tally have been improved greatly. "It has helped playing in a more central role," Stead said. "I am getting more scoring opportunities and am getting in better positions on the pitch to get the chances. I am pleased with my return so far."

Jon Stead says his return to a more traditional centre-forward role is getting the best out of his talents.

Summarize the following article: The organisation is being investigated by UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) over claims regarding medication given to riders. "The success is built off evidence-based programmes and the evidence will come out," he told BBC Radio 5 live. Sutton left British Cycling in April amid allegations of sexism - though he denies the "specific claims" - and will attend a hearing this week. "It's something I'm not at liberty to talk about but this is sport - you never say never," the 59-year-old Australian told Sportsweek when asked if he might return to his post. "We'll have to wait and see. People have talked about it but nobody has asked me to go back. Let's just let time run its course." After a week in which BBC Sport revealed that British Cycling chief executive Ian Drake is to leave, Sutton said he welcomed the chance for the sport to clear its name after a series of damaging stories. In an interview last month with BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford denied that they "cross the line" in the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Media playback is not supported on this device That came after it was revealed Sir Bradley Wiggins sought therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) to take anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone for allergies and respiratory issues - something the cyclist said was to "put himself back on a level playing field". "Our record at British Cycling speaks for itself and our record at Sky is brilliant - they have endorsed clean cycling from day one," Sutton added. "I am strong in the belief that we have a great leader in Sir Dave Brailsford and, from a clean sport perspective, he has been a great enforcer - so let the truth come out and let's move on." Sutton also denied knowing what was inside a medical package allegedly delivered to France by a British Cycling coach on the day Wiggins won the Criterium du Dauphine in 2011. He did, though, offer his support to 36-year-old Wiggins, Britain's most decorated Olympian and a Tour de France winner in 2012, describing him as "one of the greats, if not the greatest athlete ever". "I work with Wiggins and from what I have read and seen, there is no wrongdoing on his part," he said. "We need to get back behind him. We are talking about a true professional here."

British Cycling will be exonerated over allegations of wrongdoing, says its former technical director Shane Sutton.

Cafodd adroddiad yr Athro Medwin Hughes ar y diwydiant cyhoeddi a llenyddiaeth yng Nghymru ei gomisiynu gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Dywedodd Llenyddiaeth Cymru y byddai'n ystyried yr adroddiad yn "ofalus a thrylwyr". Roedd darganfyddiadau'r adroddiad yn cynnwys: Cafodd Llenyddiaeth Cymru ei greu yn 2011, ac roedd ganddo incwm o tua £1.2m y llynedd - £717,000 o hynny gan Lywodraeth Cymru trwy Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.

Summarize the following article: It will succeed the £425m Superfast Cymru project, which aims to reach 96% of premises by the end of 2017. Ministers hope to get £20m in EU aid, and raise £37m by investing their share of BT's profits from new customers. Skills and Science Minister Julie James said: "We know there is more to do ... to bring faster broadband to those final hard-to-reach areas." Welsh Conservative economy spokesman Russell George welcomed the announcement, after AMs criticised the roll-out in a Tory-led Senedd debate on Wednesday. "Recent history reveals a record of over-promising and under-delivering," he said. "Many communities are either still waiting for access or have not been incentivised to use a service that's now available to them. "It's vital that lessons are learned, and that this money is used effectively to improve broadband connectivity across Wales." During the debate, Plaid Cymru AM Dai Lloyd criticised the take-up rate, saying fewer than a third of premises capable of receiving the service had signed up for it.

Up to £80m will be spent to ensure every property in Wales can access superfast broadband in a new scheme.

Summarize the following article: An independent national officer will be appointed to review how cases of whistleblowing are handled in the NHS in Scotland. And "whistleblowing champions" will be employed in each health board. Scotland's Health Secretary Shona Robison wanted all NHS staff to "have the confidence to speak up without fear" about patient safety. The new measures follow the publication of a report for the UK government - entitled Freedom to Speak Up - on the treatment and experiences of whistleblowers. In his report, Sir Robert Francis warned that staff too often faced "bullying and being isolated" when they tried to speak out. In light of those findings, which were published at the beginning of this year, UK ministers said NHS trusts in England would have to appoint a national officer and guardians to help whistleblowers. "Myself and other very brave individuals have long campaigned for these changes. "I am delighted that it is happening - but sad that it has taken so long for this to be realised, and for so many honest whistleblowers who have had their lives and careers completely ruined, this is a decision that has come very late in the day. "But there are questions. "Will there be a retrospective investigation of the handling of historic whistleblowing cases in Scotland (there are a relatively few number of these cases) and will the whistleblowers be compensated for their dreadful treatment and cost of fighting their cases? "Who will fill this role [an independent national officer]? I assume that contenders have already been considered? It would need to be someone like a very senior ex-member of the judiciary. "Also, who will be the non-executive 'whistleblowing' champions introduced in each NHS Scotland board? Well, surely these roles should be filled by whistleblowers themselves - if they wish to apply. They would be the first and obvious choice to fill these roles. "I will be writing to Shona Robison today to apply for this role at NHS Ayrshire and Arran - who very recently turned me down for a non-executive seat on their board. "There needs to be a 'national award' created for whistleblowers - this is something to celebrate and be proud of." The Scottish government said its independent national officer would provide "an independent and external level of review" on the handling of whistleblowing cases dealt with by NHS Scotland. The whistleblowing champions would help ensure that procedures within boards were working well to support staff in raising any concerns. Ms Robison said: "It is very important that NHS workers feel they can raise any concerns they may have about patient safety and malpractice, because it helps to improve our health service. "I am confident that NHS Scotland has robust whistleblowing procedures in place but I want to go further and embed an honest and open reporting culture, where all staff have the confidence to speak up without fear, and with the knowledge that any genuine concern will be treated seriously and investigated properly."

The Scottish government is introducing a series of measures to make it easier for NHS whistleblowers to come forward.

Summarize the following article: At least 10 Indian and Pakistani soldiers and civilians have been killed in the violence over the past week. Both sides have accused each other of starting the hostilities. A ceasefire agreed in 2003 remains in place, but the neighbours often accuse each other of violating it. The latest round of hostilities come days before US Secretary of State John Kerry is due to visit India. President Barack Obama is also due to visit India as the chief guest at the country's Republic Day celebrations on 26 January. Some 10,000 civilians living in border villages on the Indian side have fled their homes since fighting began last week, a senior official named Shantmanu told Reuters news agency. "We had a narrow escape and there is a war-like situation," Sham Kumar, 54, an affected villager said. "Pakistani troops are using long-range weapons. It is the first time we have seen such intense shelling." He said he had left his village after a shell landed in a school about 3.5km (2 miles) from the border. India and Pakistan are continuing to exchange fire in the disputed region on Tuesday, reports say. "The firing is going on and we are giving befitting reply to Pakistani shelling," an Indian official said. Pakistan said on Monday that its soldiers were "effectively responding to India's [unprovoked] firing". A Pakistani military statement said four civilians, including a woman and a teenage boy, had been killed by Indian fire near the city of Sialkot since Sunday. India said one of its soldiers was killed by Pakistani fire in the Samba area on Monday. Last week, Indian forces in Kashmir killed four Pakistani troops on the border after an Indian soldier was killed in an attack blamed on Pakistan. Pakistan said it had lodged a protest with the Indian high commissioner in Islamabad. Hostilities between the neighbours have escalated in the past year. In October, 16 people - nine Pakistanis and seven Indians - died when the two sides exchanged fire for several days. Correspondents say 2014 saw an escalation in hostilities between the neighbours, with some of the worst violence in a decade. Both sides have accused each other of initiating the clashes. Earlier in the summer, India's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif to his inauguration and there were hopes that relations between Delhi and Islamabad would improve. But relations have deteriorated since then, with India cancelling scheduled talks with Pakistan in August and insisting that Delhi would "not tolerate acts of border violations by Pakistan" and that "ceasefire violations must stop". Kashmir, claimed by both countries in its entirety, has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years and the South Asian rivals have fought two wars over the region.

Thousands of villagers have fled their homes in Indian-administered Kashmir as Indian and Pakistani troops continue to exchange fire in the region.

Summarize the following article: Ibrahim Afellay marked his 30th birthday by giving Mark Hughes' side a half-time lead as he headed in Marko Arnautovic's cross. Bojan Krkic doubled the lead early in the second half with a fine solo goal. But Sigurdsson pulled one back with a shot on the turn that wrong-footed keeper Jakob Haugaard, and Paloschi's deflected strike earned a point. Relive all the action from the Britannia Stadium here Follow all the reaction from Saturday's Premier League games It has not been a good few days for Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin, who has had to deal with widespread reports that Brendan Rodgers will return to the club to take his job at the end of the season. There was little sign that things were about to improve for Guidolin, as his side were second best for the first hour. However, two substitutions by Swansea's boss changed the game, with the lively Jefferson Montero causing all manner of problems down the left, and Paloschi snatching the equaliser. It was the Italian striker's second goal for the club since his £8m move from Chievo in January and, although it came with the aid of a deflection, it was no less sweet for that. There was a degree of sweet revenge on Hughes for Guidolin too. The Swansea coach's Vicenza side had been denied a place in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup by a dramatic goal by Hughes for Chelsea in 1998. This time, the Italian had the final word, and Swansea - who have reached 37 points - are surely safe from relegation. With Stoke's first-choice goalkeeper Jack Butland ruled out for the rest of the season - as well as Euro 2016 - after breaking his ankle on England duty seven days earlier, this was a chance for Jakob Haugaard to impress. The Dane, signed from Midtjylland last summer, made his Premier League debut, but did not have the most auspicious of afternoons. He flapped at one early corner, sending the ball high into the air with a punch that made next to no distance, and looked less than comfortable under pressure. Haugaard should really have kept out Sigurdsson's goal, which gave Swansea hope. The keeper may have been unsighted as the Iceland international turned to score from the edge of the penalty area, but the shot was well within his reach - and the scorer confirmed afterwards that it had not been deflected. Hughes has assembled a terrific squad at the Britannia Stadium; one that is well on course for their highest league finish since 1975 despite a raft of injuries. They have, though, developed a frustrating habit of slipping up just when their momentum looks set to carry them into contention for a place in Europe. Stoke lost to Southampton in their previous home game, when a win would have taken them to within a point of sixth place and, having won at Watford before the international break, they passed up another great chance to progress here. Afellay's opening goal was the least Stoke deserved for their first-half superiority and, when Bojan added a well-taken second by ending a mazy run with a precise low shot, the match should have been won. Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin: "I am very happy because it's not easy coming into the Premier League. I saw, for example, what happened to Remi Garde at Aston Villa. We are seeing it with Rafa Benitez at Newcastle. It is not easy for anyone in our job to come in during the season. Media playback is not supported on this device "I hope to see my team play well in the last weeks of the season. I saw my team play with solidarity and enthusiasm and collaboration and focus. This is an important message for us. I am very proud today." Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "I thought we were good value at 2-0. We created the vast majority of the chances up to that point and could have had more goals. Media playback is not supported on this device "But 2-0 isn't the easiest of leads to protect. Maybe we got defensive when they got the goal. They got the second goal from their second shot on target. One of Swansea's players was in an offside position for it, and we've been in to see the officials. But we don't get too many of those decisions." Stoke will attempt to revive their Europa League challenge when they visit Liverpool a week on Sunday (16:00 BST), the day after Swansea bid to reach the 40-point mark by beating Chelsea at the Liberty Stadium (15:00 BST).

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Alberto Paloschi struck as Swansea came from two goals down to damage Stoke's European hopes.

Summarize the following article: McAuley's previous deal was due to expire at the end of the month. The Northern Ireland international, 35, who joined the Baggies on a free transfer from Ipswich Town in 2011, lost his place at the start of last season under Alan Irvine. But he became a regular in the starting line-up again in the second half of the campaign under Tony Pulis. McAuley returned to Albion's training ground on Monday to sign the new deal after playing for Northern Ireland in Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Romania, which ended 0-0.

West Bromwich Albion defender Gareth McAuley has signed a new one-year contract with the Premier League club.

Summarize the following article: The loss came three days after England produced a thrilling comeback from two goals down to beat Germany 3-2. "It was nothing like the performance I was after," said Hodgson. "We weren't as intensive or incisive as we were against Germany. "We weren't as creative but we had control over the game." He added: "It really is a high followed by a low." England slipped to a first defeat at Wembley since November 2013 despite taking the lead through Jamie Vardy - the 100th goal of Hodgson's tenure. The Leicester striker finished off a well-worked team move to add to his backheel goal against Germany. But Vincent Janssen scored from the spot after Danny Rose's handball before Luciano Narsingh scored the Dutch winner 13 minutes from time. Hodgson thought the decision to penalise left-back Rose was harsh, and felt centre-back Phil Jagielka was fouled in the build-up to the winning goal. "I think we were hard done by," he said. "I don't think we deserved to lose the game, the way the two decisions went against us. "The second one in particular was exceptionally harsh. The first one is a decision that is given these days, which I unfortunately I don't agree with. "I really do believe to give handball it has got to be absolutely deliberate and not hit the hand when people are trying to block the ball. "I am becoming a dinosaur if I keep saying that because I see these decisions being given every week. Whether I agree with it or not, it doesn't make a lot of difference and it was given." Hodgson will name his Euro 2016 squad on 12 May, 10 days before England face Turkey in a friendly at Etihad Stadium. They then host Australia on 27 May at Sunderland's Stadium of Light and Portugal on 2 June at Wembley. And Hodgson felt the two matches against Germany and the Netherlands had helped him learn more about his players. "I gave a lot of different players a chance to play. I've really aired the squad, if you like," said Hodgson. "Hopefully that might be to my advantage in the future, when I am thinking about players and thinking about making decisions." England will face Russia, Slovakia and Wales in Group B of Euro 2016, which starts on 10 June.

England boss Roy Hodgson said he was disappointed by his side's lack of creativity in their 2-1 defeat by the Netherlands at Wembley.

Summarize the following article: The University and College Union research indicated universities spent thousands more on hotels, flights and other expenses for vice-chancellors. The UCU says staff pay is held down but bosses get "inflation-busting" rises. Universities UK said the pay of bosses was in line with similarly sized public and private organisations. The UCU used Freedom of Information requests to ask UK universities and colleges questions about vice-chancellors' pay deals, including benefits and pensions, for the year 2014-15. The union also asked about money paid out for air fares, hotel accommodation and personal expenses. The findings suggest the average overall salary package for university heads in 2014-15 was £272,432 (based on figures from 152 institutions) - up from £260,290 in 2013-14 (based on figures from 150 institutions). The report also suggests: Eighteen of the 159 institutions contacted did not respond to the Freedom of Information request. A Universities UK representative said: "The remuneration packages of vice-chancellors are determined by independent remuneration committees at each individual institution and are publicly available in universities' annual reports and accounts. "The salaries of university leaders in the UK are in line with those in competitor countries and comparable to similarly sized public and private organisations." A spokesman for Oxford University said the institution was consistently ranked as one of the best in the world. "Its research output is vast, it has more than £1bn a year in turnover, not including the colleges and Oxford University Press, and it has great institutional complexity," he said. "The vice-chancellor's salary reflects that." A spokesman for Glasgow Caledonian University said Prof Gillies "maximises the value of each business trip by fulfilling a full schedule of engagements". "GCU is transparent in reporting costs incurred, and Prof Gillies's travel and accommodation costs are subject to scrutiny by independent governors on the university court." A University of Strathclyde spokesman said: "The principal is a global ambassador for the university, and forging links with international institutions, academic partners and industrial collaborators is an essential part of his role." But UCU general secretary Sally Hunt said: "The time has finally come for a frank and open discussion about pay and transparency in higher education. "The huge disparities in the levels of pay and pay rises at the top expose the arbitrary nature of senior pay in our universities. "While some continue to enjoy inflation-busting pay hikes and all the trimmings of first-class flights and luxury hotels, staff pay continues to be held down. "We will continue to campaign for a proper register of pay and perks at the top of our universities."

Vice-chancellors at UK universities received average salary packages of £272,000 last year - up by some £12,000 on the previous year, a study suggests.

Summarize the following article: Police said the remains were found at Dale Avenue, off Bogelshole Road, close to the River Clyde, on Tuesday. The location, behind the former Hoover factory, has been cordoned off while forensic teams carry out a search of the area and further examine the body. Officers are trying to establish the identity of the person and the circumstances surrounding their death.

Human remains have been unearthed by workmen at an industrial site in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire.

Summarize the following article: The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says global sea temperatures were fractionally higher than for June last year while land temperatures tied. Its global temperature records date back 137 years, to 1880. Most scientists attribute the increases to greenhouse gas emissions. They also say climate change is at least partially to blame for a number of environmental disasters around the world. The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for June was 0.9C above the 20th Century average of 15.5C, the NOAA said in its monthly report. Last year was the hottest on record, beating 2014, which had previously held the title.

Last month was the hottest June ever recorded worldwide, and the 14th straight month that global heat records were broken, scientists say.

Summarize the following article: The fourth World Happiness Report also found that countries where there was less inequality were happier overall. Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Finland, which like Denmark have strong social security systems, made up the rest of the top five. The US was the world's 13th happiest country, the UK was 23rd, China was 83rd and India was 118th. Why are the Danes so happy? Hygge: The Danish concept for happy homes At the bottom of the 156 countries on the list was Burundi, which is experiencing severe political unrest and the threat of violence. It scored worse than Syria, where a civil war has killed more than 250,000 people over the past five years. The survey found Syrians had a better healthy-life expectancy and were also seen as being more generous than Burundians and people in the three other nations - Togo, Afghanistan and Benin - making up the five least happy countries. Northern America, Latin America and the Caribbean and Europe were the happiest regions overall. South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa were the only regions where the average rating for wellbeing was less than five out of 10. The report - compiled by the UN's Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) - is an analysis of Gallup World Poll data generated from surveys of 1,000 people in each country every year for three years. They were asked to evaluate their lives on a ladder scale of zero to 10. The researchers defined six key categories: gross domestic product (a nation's output of goods and services) per capita, social support, healthy-life expectancy, personal freedom, charitable giving and perceived corruption. The report found that people are happier living in societies where there is less inequality of happiness. Likewise it found that the bigger the gap - or inequality - in a country's happiness, the more widespread unhappiness is as a whole. It also looked at social support - defined as being able to count on someone in difficult times - and the presence or otherwise of corruption. "Human wellbeing should be nurtured through a holistic approach that combines economic, social and environmental objectives," Columbia University Earth Institute Director Jeffrey Sachs said in a SDSN press release. "Rather than taking a narrow approach focused solely on economic growth, we should promote societies that are prosperous, just, and environmentally sustainable."

Denmark is the world's happiest country while Burundi is the least happy, according to a new survey.

Summarize the following article: Richard Cole, 30, from Dursley in Gloucestershire, went missing during a night out in the city in January 2016. CCTV footage showed him lying on floor and then rolling "vigorously" into the canal. His body was recovered by police divers a week later. An inquest at Gloucester Coroner's Court recorded an open verdict. Gloucestershire Coroner Katy Skerrett said a toxicology report showed Mr Cole had consumed alcohol, as well as amphetamines and a high concentration of MDMA. Mr Cole's half-brother Lee Thornhill told the court that while in Amsterdam searching for him after he disappeared, he had viewed CCTV footage which showed Mr Cole being accosted by three men. He said footage also showed a taxi pulling up and then driving off, shortly before Mr Cole was seen to roll "quite vigorously" about six feet (2m) into the Herengracht canal, in the early hours of 25 January 2016. Mr Cole's body was recovered by police divers a week later, on 2 February. A man was later arrested and prosecuted for stealing Mr Cole's mobile phone. Dutch police previously said "a number of men" were suspected of robbing Mr Cole, but they were not thought to have been directly involved in his death. Ms Skerrett recorded an open conclusion, saying Mr Cole's cause of death was drowning contributed to by the consumption of alcohol and drugs. In a statement following the inquest Mr Cole's family said they were "pleased" with the open verdict. "It would be easy to assume that Richard died simply because he fell into the canal while intoxicated. We know that it was not as simple as this." They said they believed that if the family had not "personally found" the CCTV footage "Richard would not have been found until his body resurfaced".

A British man whose body was found in a canal in Amsterdam died after he rolled into the water while drunk and having taken drugs.

Summarize the following article: The world number one opens play on Centre Court at 13:00 BST against Britain's James Ward. Seven-time champion Roger Federer and French Open winner Garbine Muguruza also feature on day one. Qualifier Marcus Willis, ranked 775, is one of eight Britons in action on Monday, with Andy Murray and Johanna Konta scheduled to start on Tuesday. Monday's play begins on the outside courts at 11:30, with BBC coverage starting online at 10:00 and on BBC Two and 5 live sports extra at 11:30. Djokovic arrives at the All England Club as the new French Open champion, holder of all four Grand Slam titles and on course for the first calendar-year Slam since Rod Laver in 1969. The 29-year-old is a strong favourite to become only the fourth man in the Open era to win a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles. "The situation this year is quite different because I'm coming in with a Roland Garros title for the first time," said Djokovic. "That gives me a lot of confidence." Asked about facing a British player in his opening match, Djokovic said: "It's going to be the first match on the untouched grass. "That's probably one of the most special matches that you get to experience." Federer, 34, is the number three seed and is expected to face Djokovic in the semi-finals, although the Swiss lacks his usual number of matches after struggling with injuries all year. Media playback is not supported on this device Second seed Murray appears the most likely to threaten Djokovic, having finished runner-up to the Serb at the year's first two Grand Slams in Australia and France. Defending champion Serena Williams remains the woman to beat as she chases a seventh Wimbledon and 22nd major title, which would draw her level with Steffi Graf in the all-time list. However, the 34-year-old American has not won a Grand Slam since last year's Wimbledon, with Muguruza beating her in France and rising to two in the world rankings. Britain has 15 players in the singles draws this year, with seven there by right through their rankings, seven given wildcards and one coming through qualifying. That is Willis, the 25-year-old who had not played a tournament since January and had to win six matches in pre-qualifying and qualifying to reach the main draw. According to the ATP World Tour website, Willis' 2016 earnings amount to $64 - his performances so far in Wimbledon qualifying have seen him pocket £30,000. Another victory over Lithuania's world number 53 Ricardas Berankis could set up a dream second-round match against Federer, as well as taking his pay packet to £50,000, more than half of his career earnings to date. "I've always believed in myself, believed I could play really good tennis, but I can't really expect to qualify for Wimbledon," said Willis. "I just took it one match at a time and now in the main draw I'll do the same there." Six British men are in action on Monday, with Kyle Edmund playing France's Adrian Mannarino, Brydan Klein up against Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, Alex Ward facing Belgian David Goffin, and Dan Evans taking on German Jan-Lennard Struff. In the women's draw, former junior champion Laura Robson plays fourth seed Angelique Kerber and Naomi Broady faces Ukraine's Elena Vesnina. Media playback is not supported on this device There have been only eight championships - the last of them six years ago - without rain interruptions since 1922, and 2016 looks unlikely to add to the list. The 130th championships will host up to 39,000 spectators on each of the 13 days, with more than 700 players in qualifying and the main draw competing for a record prize fund of £28.1m. Media playback is not supported on this device Both singles champions will take home £2m, while just making the first round guarantees a player £30,000. Spectators will consume about 28,000kg of strawberries, 7,000 litres of cream and 29,000 bottles of champagne, some of it almost certainly under the Centre Court roof. The weather forecast suggests rain will feature during the first week of the tournament, but the roof at least guarantees tennis throughout. "Not a complete washout, but through the first few days I'm expecting some rain," said BBC Weather's John Hammond. Media playback is not supported on this device The BBC will have comprehensive coverage of Wimbledon across TV, radio, online and social media, with 153 hours scheduled across BBC One and BBC Two. Former world number ones Lleyton Hewitt and Jim Courier, and former British number one Annabel Croft, have joined the BBC TV team, led by Sue Barker, while Radio 5 live will broadcast more than 100 hours of action.

Summarize the following article: Elmbridge Museum said its "museum without walls" initiative would provide its services in a "more accessible, relevant and cost-effective" way. The last day to visit the gallery in Weybridge was on Saturday and the website was launched on Sunday. Elmbridge council said Surrey County Council owned the museum building and would make a decision about its future. The borough council said the new website offered a brand new interactive online experience that represented the museum as a whole and showcased its services to various audiences. An "object in focus" section offers more information on selected objects and a "what we're up to" section looks at projects by the museum team, which is now based at the Civic Centre in Esher. Actual objects will still be displayed at temporary exhibitions across the borough, and the museum will run a schools programme in September. Two exhibitions are currently being held at Thames Ditton Library and Walton Library. The museum's collection is being moved to a purpose-built store, where artefacts will be available to view by appointment.

A permanent museum gallery in Surrey has closed and its collection of 40,000 artefacts can now be viewed online.

Summarize the following article: Edna Atherton was 88 when she fell from the platform, suffering broken ribs and a cut head at Birkenhead's Hamilton Square station in July 2015. The prosecution had claimed Martin Zee, 33, had not followed Merseyrail's door closure safety procedure fully. But the defence argued the fall was an accident, Liverpool Crown Court heard. They said there was a "fundamental failing" in the 17-point safety procedure itself, because the curve of the platform meant there were several blind spots. The trial was shown CCTV footage of Mr Zee leaving the back of the train and walking to the wall of the platform to check all passengers had got off and on the carriages. After Mr Zee pushed the button to close the doors, two women can be seen trying to board the front of the train. As the doors were reopened and closed, one of them fell between the train and the platform. Mr Zee, of Coronation Road, Runcorn, Cheshire, had pleaded not guilty to a charge of endangering the safety of railway passengers by wilful omission or neglect. The jury cleared him after two hours of deliberations. A Merseyrail spokesman said its internal investigation and another by safety regulator the Office of Rail and Road "found there was no case to answer". "The door closure warning alarm is in place to alert passengers to the danger of closing doors and we rely on passengers heeding that warning and not attempting to board or alight while the doors are closing." A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "It is our duty as a police force to investigate and present the evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service." A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman said: "The decision to charge was made following detailed consideration of the evidence and in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors."

A railway guard has been cleared of endangering passenger safety after an elderly woman fell between a train and a platform.

Summarize the following article: The duchess said she will be "glued to the TV" ahead of Wales' Euro 2016 semi-final match against Portugal. She spoke while visiting Cardiff Bay on the third day of the royal couple's annual Wales tour. In Pontypridd, the royal couple was presented with Wales football kits for grandchildren Charlotte and George. Asked by reporters about the football match, the duchess said: "We'll all be glued to the TV tonight, keeping our fingers crossed." On Tuesday, the prince also backed the Wales side, wishing them "huge good luck". The royal couple also visited Pontypridd's Lido Ponty, a Grade II listed outdoor pool which has been restored. At the Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay, the Duchess met children who had written songs based on Roald Dahl's work - part of the celebrations of the centenary of Dahl's birth. Later, at the Wales Millennium Centre (WMC), she sampled a drink made from a machine inspired by Dahl's book George's Marvellous Medicine. The machine will form part of the City of the Unexpected theatre event in Cardiff in September. Prince Charles went to Brecon, where he met young people from his Prince's Trust charity, and visited the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team. This year marks Charles's 12th annual summer visit to Wales - which sees him stay at his 192-acre Llwynywermod estate near Llandovery.

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall wore Football Association of Wales badges as they visited south Wales on Wednesday.

Summarize the following article: The UAE has held Pakistan's home Tests since 2010, after a terrorist attack on the Sri Lanka cricket team in 2009. The first day of the first Test at Abu Dhabi's Zayed Cricket Stadium was marked by poor attendance, with banks of empty seats visible. "You have to get people watching and they aren't here," said Vaughan. "It's either too hot or they aren't interested. Forget the money - I'd play this series in Australia." England bowler Stuart Broad, who is touring the UAE for a second time, admitted the lack of atmosphere does present a different challenge for players who were accustomed to sold-out stadia during last summer's Ashes series against Australia. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "When you are playing an Ashes series in front of a lot of crowds at home, a lot gets you through the day but here it is about your 'inner ticker'... as Vaughany called it." Vaughan added: "Pakistan played Australia in England and it was quite well supported. Why not take this series to a part of the world where it would be the same? "There would be ex-pats. You could go to some of the lesser (smaller) grounds in Australia." Pakistan have not been beaten in seven Test series in the UAE, and Vaughan believes the slow, spin-friendly conditions give them an excessive advantage. "Home advantage has swayed too far," he said. "There's a fine margin making sure it's not too much."

Pakistan's Test series against England should have been moved from the United Arab Emirates to Australia, says former England captain Michael Vaughan.

Summarize the following article: Villa are bottom of the table, eight points from safety, with 17 games left. Hollis told BBC Sport the club needed "shaking up" but insisted that spending money on players was not the solution. He will work with chief executive Tom Fox, who described the club's current football setup as "broken". Villa owner Randy Lerner has described Hollis as someone with a "proven track record for getting into the thick of troubled organisations", Villa's 1-0 home win over Crystal Palace on Tuesday was only their second league win of the season and their first since the opening day, but they are still bottom of the league, eight points behind Swansea, who are one place above the relegation zone. There is added pressure to stay in the Premier League with clubs set to benefit from the start of a new £5.1bn three-year television rights deal from next season. Media playback is not supported on this device However, West Midlands businessman Hollis, who was appointed on Thursday, said: "If we unfortunately have to go through a relegation phase, we have no fear of that. "Randy Lerner is committed and is going to support the board and executive team to take the actions we need to put us in the best possible position so we can come up as quickly as possible. "This club will be here and we will be on a stronger footing." Fox added: "Where we are this season is not where any of us want to be. Randy feels that very deeply. He knows how difficult it is for the fans facing another relegation battle. It is difficult for the players and everyone in the organisation. "He is not happy but we do not live in fear of what might happen. The thing that makes Randy feel good about the future of the club is that we are putting these kind of processes in place and he has an executive management team that he trusts. "He believes in the manager he has got. He is positive right now, despite where we are." United States-based Lerner, who bought Villa in 2006 and announced at the end of last season he was looking to sell the club, has described Hollis as someone with a "proven track record for getting into the thick of troubled organisations, working with embattled executives and getting results". "Randy was very clear when I met him that there is some heavy lifting that needs doing at this club to address the structural flaws it has experienced over the last five years," said Hollis. "Randy wanted the work to be done and wanted it done quickly, hence I am here. "There is a big job to be done. And as chairman I really do want to bring back the confidence to this club, both on the playing side and non-playing side, so we can feel good about what we are doing. "Time will tell if I am right or not. But I have spent six weeks looking at this and I genuinely believe this needs an overhaul and it needs some solid business principals inputting into it. "We are going to have to look at how we can shake this club up so we can put it on the correct footing where we can have a position where we can command in the Premier League. That will take some time." In the early years of Lerner's ownership, Villa established themselves as a top-six Premier League team under the management of Martin O'Neill. For the last five seasons, though, they have battled against relegation and current boss Remi Garde is their fifth manager in that time. Media playback is not supported on this device "There is something not right with our football set-up at Bodymoor Heath," admitted Fox. "When we talk about it, we say that it is fundamentally broken and has been for a while. "The results speak for themselves. When a great club like this, with its history and heritage and success it has had in the past, finds itself in a relegation battle for five seasons in a row, despite spending money to bring players in and changing managers, you have to ask yourself 'what is fundamentally wrong?' "The principles Steve talks about are the ones we need to bring to our football set-up so that when we got to our board and ask them to spend money on acquiring players or coaches, we have a good sense for how that investment is going to pay off for the owner and how it is ultimately going to deliver results on the pitch." Hollis added: "Randy spent a lot of money last summer and we are not seeing the result of that. This is about hard work, commitment and a focus on continuous improvement." In the summer, midfielder Fabian Delph and striker Christian Benteke were sold for sizable fees, much of which was reinvested in signing 13 players, many of whom have failed to perform for the club so far this season. Garde's predecessor, Tim Sherwood, has revealed that the signing of these players was conducted via a "transfer committee" at the club, with Lerner having final say. But Fox defended the club's recruitment process and said they are looking at ways of improving the squad in January. "We are taking a deep look at the squad and taking a lot of time with Remi to try and understand what our needs are and the best ways to address those," he said. "In terms of the process we ran over the summer and will run this January, you can call it what you want - some have called it a committee - but we don't buy or sell players any differently to any other top or successful club. "If Remi is not happy with a player who has been suggested, he says no. We never end up with a list of players we are targeting that isn't an approved list from the manager."

Aston Villa do not the fear the consequences of relegation from the Premier League and will come back "on a stronger footing" if they do go down, says new chairman Steven Hollis.

Summarize the following article: Pat Finucane, a solicitor in Belfast who had represented clients including convicted members of the IRA, was murdered by loyalist gunmen at his home in 1989. The government-ordered review, by Sir Desmond de Silva, found that, while there were "shocking levels of state collusion" in facilitating the killing, there was no "overarching state conspiracy". Mr Finucane's family have long called for a full public inquiry into the murder but Prime Minister David Cameron has ruled that out. Here are some reactions to the review: "At every turn, dead witnesses have been blamed and defunct agencies found wanting. Serving personnel and active state departments appear to have been excused. "The dirt has been swept under the carpet without any serious attempt to lift the lid on what really happened to Pat and so many others. "This report is a sham, this report is a whitewash, this report is a confidence trick dressed up as independent scrutiny and given invisible clothes of reliability. "But most of all, most hurtful and insulting of all, this report is not the truth." "David Cameron today sought to use the review as a pretext for denying the family a public inquiry - a commitment that was made by the British government at Weston Park in 2001. "This is not acceptable to the family or to Sinn Fein and it should not be acceptable to the government here. "The information provided by Desmond de Silva is a damning indictment of British state collusion in the murder of citizens. "It reveals some of the extent to which this existed. It does not diminish the need for a public inquiry. "On the contrary, it makes such an inquiry more necessary than ever." "There is more than a shred of evidence that the Republic of Ireland's government armed the Provisional IRA and there should be an investigation into that and honesty about that, so as we see all of the picture. "My constituents are sick and tired of a one-sided narrative of revisionism that says the Provisional IRA were actually quite good and the troops and the police were actually quite bad." "I want to say clearly that I was very proud to stand with the Finucane family in those desperate times at Pat's funeral as they buried Pat. "The SDLP and I will stand with them today, and indeed into the future, because we support their demand for a full public inquiry. "We feel that we have still only got half the truth out here. There are people out there who should be held to account even though it is 23 years too late." "Given the number of security forces personnel involved, the 24/7 threat - not only to their lives but those of their families, neighbours and anyone who happened to be in their vicinity - and given the length of the terror campaign against them, it was inevitable that decisions were made which, on occasions, appear differently with the benefit of historical hindsight. "Indeed, the IRA and republican movement often created the conditions which maximised the likelihood of such circumstances. This is part of the definition of the impact of terrorism." "I am deeply sorry and, on behalf of the police service, I offer a complete, absolute and unconditional apology to Mr Finucane's wife, Geraldine. "I know that the vast majority of colleagues, both past and present, will share in my profound sadness and disappointment at how the Finucane family were so badly and abjectly failed. "This failure has done a great disservice to the bravery and dedication of the many who joined the police to keep all communities safe throughout the awfulness of those difficult times." "The collusion demonstrated beyond any doubt by Sir Desmond - which included the involvement of state agents in murder - is totally unacceptable. "We do not defend our security forces - or the many who have served in them with great distinction - by trying to claim otherwise. "Collusion should never, ever happen. So on behalf of the government and the whole country, let me say once again to the Finucane family, I am deeply sorry." "This report is incredibly frank. It has hugely harsh things to say about what went on with the involvement of state agents in murder. "It's something which is profoundly shocking and I simply don't believe that a public inquiry would take this further. "This report has revealed the facts about what happened and I don't believe that waiting 10, or even 12 years, for a public inquiry to complete would reveal more facts about Pat Finucane." "There was a very strict Army instruction that they were not to get involved in anything illegal - they quite clearly did. "There was quite clearly a breach of the instructions at the time and that's the seriousness of it. "He added: "This has revealed a very serious situation in this case. What is so serious about it is that is impugns the RUC and the UDR and the British intelligence, security and British Army when, in fact, the majority of the people involved were extremely brave." "We must, as the United Kingdom, accept that our state sometimes did not meet the high standards we set ourselves through the Northern Ireland conflict. "Anyone reading this report will believe it is an appalling episode in our history. "All sides of the House believe that we must establish the full and tested truth about Pat Finucane's murder but, on this side of the House, we continue to believe that a public inquiry is necessary for his family and Northern Ireland." "A public inquiry would be able to compel witnesses to come to it; you'd have to have people giving evidence in public to that inquiry. "You'd be able to test what they were saying, you'd be able to review the evidence of one against another - it's the confidence that it then gives to people. "They can see justice being done and justice being seen to be done is especially important in cases such as this." "The fact that the Force Research Unit (military intelligence), the special branch, were operating in this freewheeling way illegally, using their own agents to commit and be involved in the committal of murders is a shocking stain on Britain's involvement in Northern Ireland. "Yes, it was difficult - the IRA were committing enormous atrocities, the Ulster Volunteer Force, the Ulster Defence Association, other paramilitaries were committing terrible atrocities and acts of terrorism. "But that does not excuse state collusion in murder which is what happened to a respected Belfast solicitor." "I have spoken today with Geraldine Finucane and I know that the family are not satisfied with today's outcome. "I intend to reflect carefully over the coming days on the detailed content of the De Silva report, and indeed previous reports, as well as the prime minister's statement today. "I also intend to consult further with the Finucane family to hear their views and concerns in more detail." "The reality is that the Finucane family were an IRA family and I can illustrate that by saying that, when I gave that allegation publicly and was being sued for libel, the family retracted and paid my legal expenses. "So let's not fool ourselves about the godfather Finucane, who was killed. "If there was connivance then let me say we talk, all of us who served through the heart of the Troubles of Northern Ireland, we served in a way where it was impossible to have secrets. "Why were there 10 attempts on my life? Why was Lord Kilclooney shot? Because there was conspiracy. Less than 1% of all terrorist suspects involved in proactive security force operations were killed by the security forces, 99% ended in arrest."

Britain's security services colluded in one of the most notorious killings during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, an official report has concluded.

Summarize the following article: News, variety programmes, comedy and game shows dominate peak-time TV. There are about a dozen private TV channels and a plethora of private radios. The media have been badly hit by Greece's economic, social and political crisis. Facing declining circulation figures and advertising revenues, some outlets have imposed cuts or closed altogether. In June 2013, the conservative-led government abruptly took state broadcaster ERT off the air and dismissed its 2,600 staff, citing endemic mismanagement. The move drew international criticism and sparked a domestic political crisis. Some of the sacked staff occupied ERT's offices and continued to make internet broadcasts. A replacement public broadcaster, New Hellenic Radio, Internet and TV (NERIT), made its debut in May 2014. Media rights group Reporters Without Borders has alleged conflicts of interest in the senior management of some media outlets, saying wealthy owners and state officials have tried to consolidate and extend their power through the media. The watchdog says journalists are often targeted by police when covering demonstrations and have received threats from the far right, the extreme left, and anarchists. There were 5.7 million internet users by June 2012 (Internetworldstats). Seven in 10 internet users are on social media, with Facebook being the most popular platform.

Television is Greece's medium of choice, followed by the press, the internet and radio.

Summarize the following article: Gorse fires have been big news this week and the Tyrone Constitution says firefighters have been working at full stretch dealing with blazes across the area. "Fires wreak havoc" is the paper's front page headline and it says that a "huge inferno" at Mullaghfad Mountain near Fivemiletown is believed to have been started deliberately. A 55-year-old man was arrested and questioned by police investigating gorse fires in the area. He was later released on bail pending further enquiries. A call for a safety assessment of a Carrickmore road also features in the paper, following a two-car crash that left five people - three of them teenagers - injured. The crash happened on the Drumnakilly Road last week. "This particular stretch of road has seen numerous accidents in the past, so an assessment of additional safety measures is needed," said Mid Tyrone councillor, Barry McNally, who added that he had contacted Transport NI. The Ballymena Guardian leads with the story of a "river of filth" at a beauty spot in the town. It says NI Water is to carry out an emergency inspection of a sewer flowing into the River Braid near the Ecos Centre. It follows reports of human waste floating in the river while children swam in it during recent good weather. The paper also reports on plans for a memorial to 42 World War Two refugees from Gibraltar who died while living in camps in Ballymena and Broughshane between 1944 and 1948. About 2,000 evacuees came to the Ballymena area from Gibraltar during the war. It is proposed that a memorial rock cairn containing 42 stones, possibly taken from the sites of the camps, could be placed in the town's Cushendall Road cemetery. Gibraltar Chief Minister Fabian Picardo has indicated some stones from the Rock of Gibraltar could also be sent to Ballymena and incorporated into the design, the paper says. The Fermanagh Herald features an inquest into the tragic death of Derrygonelly father of four Damian McGovern. Mr McGovern, 47, died after being injured by a hand-held circular saw he was using to cut a concrete slab which was suspended from a telehandler. Health and Safety Executive inspector Thomas McCullogh urged people to adhere to safety guidelines, telling the inquest: "We're not there as the big bad wolf. "We are there to help people act in a safe manner. Our first priority is prevention." Elsewhere in the paper, is the court case of a 38-year-old man with 401 previous convictions who has been jailed for nine months for breaking into a Roslea bar on consecutive mornings. Benny McCullagh, of Main Street, Sixmilecross, stole a cash dispenser containing £1,000 in the first raid and two poker machines and more cash in the second. The Mourne Observer says that Downpatrick and County Down Railway is fast becoming a favourite with film crews. The latest production to be filmed at the railway is the pyschological thriller The Woman in White, starring Ben Hardy of Eastenders fame. Other films and TV dramas shot on location at the railway museum include Doctor Who, The Wipers Times and An Innocent Abroad. Meanwhile, the paper also contains a warning about buzzard nests in a local forest. It says signs have been put up at Donard forest in Newcastle warning people about the dangers of disturbing the nesting birds of prey. There were several reports of the birds attacking walkers, climbers and joggers who got too close to their nests two years ago, the paper adds, with some of the victims suffering deep cuts from talons. Good news in the County Derry Post, as it says a Maghera schoolgirl, who suffered serious head injuries when she was hit by a car after getting off a school bus, is recovering. Mary O'Neill, 11, has been described as a "true fighter". Mary, and her 14-year-old brother Fintan, were involved in the accident outside Toomebridge on 17 January. While Mary remains in hospital recovering, Fintan has been discharged and has returned to school on a part-time basis. However, the paper says the local community were heartened last week to hear that Mary felt well enough to leave hospital to visit the family home for a few hours. The paper also features an appeal for government funding for a thatched roof of a cottage in Magilligan, or to allow the roof to be altered. Seacoast Cottage has been home to Edward and Eileen Quigley for more than 70 years, It has no electricity, heating or running water. The thatched roof of the 300-year-old cottage collapsed into the house's bedrooms during a winter storm in late 2014. The cottage is believed to be the last one in Ireland that is thatched with marram grass and as the cottage is a listed building the family could face fines, or even prosecution, if they make alterations to the roof without the proper approval. Farmers are warned on the front page of the Ulster Gazette after an animal water drum was spiked in an apparent attempt to poison 50 sheep in County Armagh. "Barbaric beyond belief" is the paper's headline and the story says white spirit is believed to have been used. "I don't know why someone would want to do something like this," said the farmer who was targeted. "The barrel's out of the way, it's hidden from view, so you would have to go out of your way to find it." Page 8 of the paper is devoted to Portadown FC legend Ronnie McFall who has been awarded the freedom of the borough by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Council. McFall was manager of Portadown from 1986 until 2016, winning four league titles among more than 20 trophies during his time in charge at his hometown club.

A "river of filth", a spate of gorse fires, an apparent attempt to poison sheep and why you shouldn't get too close to a buzzard are among the stories in Northern Ireland's weekly papers.

Summarize the following article: Ronald dela Rosa was speaking at a senate hearing into the sharp rise in deaths since Rodrigo Duterte became president. He said police operations had killed about 750 people, but the other deaths were still being investigated. Mr Duterte won the presidency with his hard-line policy to eradicate drugs. He has previously urged citizens to shoot and kill drug dealers who resisted arrest, and reiterated that the killings of drug suspects were lawful if the police acted in self-defence. He also threatened to "separate" from the UN after it called his war on drugs a crime under international law. The US has said it is "deeply concerned" by the increase in drug-related killings. The senate joint inquiry is being conducted by Senator Leila de Lima, who has called on authorities to explain the "unprecedented" rise in deaths. It is also hearing from the relatives of some of those killed. The family members of some of those killed are getting the chance to tell their stories to the inquiry. Wearing dark glasses and draped in a shawl, Harra Besorio said policemen raided her home in Pasay City without a warrant and stripped her infant daughter to check for drugs. Her partner, who she admitted was a small-time dealer, and his father were beaten up in front of them, she told the inquiry on Monday. They were later taken to a police station and allegedly killed there. The two police officers accused claimed an attempt had been made to grab one of their guns, but this was refuted by the Philippines Commission on Human Rights. It said they had been badly injured and were shot three times. The two officers have been charged with murder. Mr dela Rosa told the inquiry on Tuesday that a total of 1,916 deaths had been recorded during the crackdown, 756 of which were during police operations. He said the number had gone up even since he gave evidence on Monday, where he gave a figure of 1,800 deaths. "Not all deaths under investigations are drug-related," he told news agency Reuters, saying about 40 killings were due to robbery or personal disputes. However, Mr dela Rosa said there was no declared policy to kill drug users and pushers, saying police were "not butchers". The police director-general also added that about 300 police officers were suspected to be involved in the drugs trade, warning that they would be charged and removed from their positions if found guilty. Nearly 700,000 drug users and peddlers have turned themselves in since the launch of the campaign, Mr dela Rosa said. He also said that there was a decrease in overall crime, though the number of homicides and murders had increased. On Monday, Mr dela Rosa told the inquiry: "I admit many are dying but our campaign, now, we have the momentum." Senator Frank Drilon told Reuters that the number of deaths was "alarming" and had "a chilling effect". In his previous role as mayor of Davao, Mr Duterte built a reputation for blunt speaking and supporting the extrajudicial killings of suspected criminals. Crime rates in Davao decreased while he was in office, though human rights groups estimate than more than 1,000 people were killed with no legal process.

The head of the Philippines police has said more than 1,900 people have been killed during a crackdown on illegal drugs in the past seven weeks.

Summarize the following article: Wilfred Isaacs, 50, died at the Chubbards Cross caravan site near the village of Ilton on Thursday evening. Three people are being held in custody on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and assisting an offender. Police later arrested another suspect, John Broadway, 37, in Lichfield, Staffordshire, along with two women held for assisting an offender. Mr Broadway was being questioned on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and firearms offences. Police are still searching for Donna Broadway, 26, as well as the weapon used in the crime. Other suspects arrested earlier are: Det Supt Andy Bevan, of Avon and Somerset Police, said officers believe a shotgun was used and appealed again for information from the public. He added there was still a "major rapidly evolving investigation" involving officers searching for Donna Broadway. "Our enquiries are not confined to the Avon and Somerset Force area and we're following up all possible leads as they materialise," he said. Police said the caravan site would be closed off as inquiries are likely to last several days.

A man who was killed in shooting at a Somerset caravan park has been identified.

Summarize the following article: Former Alliance and independent councillor Brian Wilson joined the Greens. He was elected in North Down in a significant breakthrough for the party. The seat was retained by the party in the 2011 assembly elections by Steven Agnew. Breaking the hold of traditional unionist and nationalist parties in Northern Ireland has been a challenge for non-aligned groups for many years. In the 2009 European election, the Green Party in Northern Ireland took more than 3% of the vote with Mr Agnew as a candidate, polling 15,764 votes. This was more than three times the Green Party's previous poll result. However, in the 2014 European election the Green vote fell to 10,598. It is the only Northern Ireland party that does not accept corporate donations. The Green Party in Northern Ireland works in co-operation with other Greens across the European Union, and has a close relationship with its counterpart in the Republic of Ireland. The party has four councillors.

The Green Party in Northern Ireland first gained a foothold in the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2007.
