Summarize the following article: Duquemin, 25, holds the games records for both the shot put and the discus, taking gold in both disciplines on home turf at the 2015 event. But the Gotland Games clashes with the British Championships, which doubles-up as World Championship trials. "I've got to put myself first," he told BBC Radio Jersey. "The main priority and goal is the World Championships and I have to do everything in my power to make sure I put myself in the best situation to qualify for that. "Just recently the dates have come out and unfortunately it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to fit in the Island Games. "I was trying to find a way to work it out, looking at dates and seeing if I could maybe fly in on the day to Gotland to compete and then fly back." Jersey's top-ranked tennis player Scott Clayton, international archer Lucy O'Sullivan and cycling gold-medallist Kim Ashton are amongst the other competitors to already reveal they will miss Gotland. The biennial Games will run from 24-30 June 2017, while the British Athletics Team Trials are set for Birmingham between 30 June and 2 July.

Athlete Zane Duquemin is the latest leading Jersey sportsperson to confirm he will not compete at the 2017 Island Games in Gotland.

Summarize the following article: Mr Ban's term as the world's top diplomat expires at the end of December. In his final press conference as UN chief, Mr Ban said that after some rest he will return to South Korea and consider how best to help his country. South Korea's next presidential election is scheduled to be held in December 2017. However, a poll could take place within two months after the country's parliament voted to impeach current President Park Geun-hye over an influence-peddling scandal. Ms Park is accused of allowing a close friend to profit from her connections with the presidency. If the country's constitutional court upholds last week's impeachment vote, she will become the first sitting South Korean president to be deposed in the country's democratic era - and a new presidential election will be held within 60 days. The constitutional court has 180 days to make a final ruling. Mr Ban's comments come amid ongoing protests in the South Korean capital, Seoul. Large crowds are expected to gather this weekend to demand that Ms Park resigns immediately, and to urge the constitutional court to formally remove her from office. This will be the eighth consecutive week of protests against Ms Park. While the rallies have been largely peaceful, there are fears that demonstrators could clash with thousands of the president's supporters who have planned their own protest near the court. Ms Park's lawyer, Lee Joong-hwan, has said the court should restore the president's powers because there is insufficient evidence to justify her removal. The case against Ms Park rests on her relationship with long-time friend Choi Soon-sil, who faces charges of coercion and abuse of power. It is alleged that after Ms Park became president in 2013, Ms Choi, 60, used their friendship to pressure powerful corporations into donating to foundations she controlled and then siphoned off funds for her personal use. Prosecutors say Ms Park had a "considerable" role in the alleged corruption. The president has denied that, but apologised for putting her trust in her jailed friend. Ms Choi's criminal trial will begin on 20 December.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has hinted that he may shortly run for the presidency of his native South Korea.

Summarize the following article: Scarborough Hospital, which has been dogged by financial and care quality concerns, said it had approached York Hospital over a possible partnership. The move has been prompted by the government's desire for all hospitals to become foundation trusts by 2013. Scarborough said it would not make the grade without the help of York, which was granted foundation status in 2007. Scarborough Hospital has debts of £4m and was criticised by regulators earlier this month because of concerns over the standard of its care. By Penny BustinHealth correspondent, BBC Look North It's the pressure to get itself financially and clinically fit to become a foundation trust hospital that is behind this move by Scarborough. By 2013 all hospitals must become foundation trusts and so gain some independence from the NHS. But they need to be in good shape to qualify. Scarborough's board met and acknowledged that is an impossible goal to reach in three years, they need help. They have current debts of £4m, huge historic debts and were heavily criticised last month by the NHS regulator for their standards of care. They could have turned to anyone for help - the private sector as well as the NHS. Their preferred partner is their near neighbour York. A spokesman for the Scarborough and North East Yorkshire NHS Trust said: "To become a foundation trust, hospital trusts are required to meet certain clinical and financial standards which make them fit for a long-term future. "The requirement to reach foundation trust status by 2013 places us in a difficult position as we are unlikely to meet the tests required to become a stand-alone foundation trust. "Lack of foundation trust status would impact on our ability to deliver certainty to our clinical services provision and staff on all our sites." At its meeting on Tuesday, the board considered options for the future in order to secure clinically and financially sustainable services for Scarborough and the surrounding areas, "within the context of a difficult financial climate and changing health policy". It said it had decided to approach the York Hospital Foundation Trust "to explore the potential for a partnership". Patrick Crowley, chief executive of York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, said: "To become a foundation trust, hospital trusts are required to meet certain clinical and financial standards, which make them fit for a long-term future as an independent organisation working within the context of the NHS. "We and Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust have been working closely with NHS Yorkshire and the Humber and other health partners over the last few months to determine how this can be achieved for Scarborough." He said the York trust had not yet formally responded to the approach by the Scarborough board. "All partners are hopeful that we can continue the alliances and partnerships already developed to provide health services for this population," Mr Crowley added.

A struggling hospital in North Yorkshire has revealed it is planning a merger with a neighbouring NHS trust.

Summarize the following article: Imagine this. You can sit back, relax, turn on the telly, put your feet up. And the government will pay you for it without any of that tedious job-seeking and signing on business. It sounds like a fantasy. But it's an only slightly exaggerated version of the big idea animating many on the left of British politics, and which has just been adopted by Unite, the country's biggest trade union. "If you look at the history of the labour movement, the very first thing that the labour movement tried to do was to reduce the working week," says City University politics lecturer Nick Srnicek. "I think it would be an immense testament to society if we could all be lazy." The policy behind "the right to be lazy" is an idea called a universal basic income: a flat payment to all adults regardless of circumstances. It's an idea some trace back to the 18th Century revolutionary Thomas Paine. There's a huge resurgence of interest now in the idea in policy circles and among political big beasts such as former Labour leader Ed Miliband. "I think the universal basic income is an admirable idea because it thinks big about our society," he says. "It says we want to give people much greater freedom in their lives, much greater freedom to learn, to care for others, to work as well. "I'd put myself in the category of someone willing to be convinced, but there are obstacles." The Green Party is already convinced, and the policy has been part of its platform for over 30 years. It is now the subject of multiple pamphlets, think tank debates and even public meetings. So what does the new-found popularity of this idea say about the intellectual state of the left today? One answer lies in the response to the changing world of work. Over the past few decades, machines and computers have increasingly replaced "routine jobs" - in factories and banks - and that has increased wage inequality. Now, the robots have the accountants and lawyers in their sights. Growing numbers of us are likely to feel the white heat of technology. That is accompanied by greater job insecurity - with a world of zero-hours contracts and the "gig economy". For Ed Miliband, this threatens the assumptions behind the traditional welfare state, which was designed for a world of full-time work, mainly by men. The welfare state, he says, "has struggled to keep up". "It's a very very binary old-fashioned 20th Century system in what feels like a significantly changing world of work." To shore up public support for the system, politicians have become tougher on people receiving unemployment benefits. But many on the left are uncomfortable with the tough regime and see a universal basic income as a better solution. "You end up with this whole architecture of interference, which actually doesn't enable people to fundamentally get out of this low pay, low security environment in which they're in," says Anthony Painter, of the Royal Society of Arts. He argues that a guaranteed basic income would give individuals the security to retrain or try out new business ideas. It would, he believes, reward forms of work that are currently not remunerated - like caring for family members or volunteering. That security could change the power dynamics between worker and boss, and would enable employees to say no. "Suddenly the worker has the choice to be able to say, 'Well I don't want to take this job, and in fact I don't have to,'" says Mr Srnicek. Interestingly, the idea of a universal basic income is also receiving support on the libertarian right - and indeed the free-market guru Milton Friedman was a fan of a similar idea. "It's a way of making the state much, much less invasive and much, much less powerful over other people's lives," says Sam Bowman, of the free-market Adam Smith Institute. He believes that it would help the transition for people in traditional jobs heading into the new economy. "I've heard this expression that automation and globalisation are like going to Australia: it's fantastic once you get there, but the journey can be really, really difficult." Yet this support raises suspicions on the left. Do libertarians only like a universal basic income because they see it as a way of dismantling the furniture of the welfare state? And there are other objections. Labour MP Jon Cruddas sees the embrace of universal basic income as "absolutely deadly" for his party. "Part of the thing about the basic income is that it assumes that the working class will disappear, right?" he asks. "Now if you disrespect them to that degree, is it any wonder that they'll go walkabout?" Mr Cruddas warns that a left-wing embrace of the policy would constitute an electoral gift to UKIP, dismissing it as "a form of futurology which owes more to Arthur C Clarke than it does to Karl Marx". "It imports a sort of passive citizenship with no sense of contribution. It doesn't contest the sphere of production, and it just retreats into a hyper-consumption." Ed Miliband, for his part, sees this as a policy that deserves to be piloted to see if it could work. "I think the important thing about this idea is it's an idea not for next week or next month but it's an idea for five, 10, 15 years ahead. And the case has got to be built."

Why are so many on the left now arguing that the state should pay everyone a universal basic income?

Summarize the following article: Missiles reportedly hit two tents in a village near the Red Sea port of Mocha, where a man linked to the Houthi rebel movement was celebrating his marriage. But the Saudi-led coalition that has been bombing the rebels for six months denied responsibility for the attack. The UN condemned "the disregard shown by all sides for human life" in Yemen. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed that there was no military solution to the conflict and its continuation would only bring more human suffering and destruction. Some 5,000 people, including 2,355 civilians, have been killed in air strikes and fighting on the ground since 26 March, when Houthi fighters and allied army units forced Yemen's internationally recognised president to flee the country. Last week, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi returned to the southern port city of Aden, where his government has set up a temporary base as southern militiamen and coalition forces press northwards towards the rebel-held capital, Sanaa. Residents of the village of Wahijah said that in Monday's attack, missiles fired by coalition warplanes tore into two tents at the wedding reception. Yemeni security sources confirmed to the Associated Press that there had been an air strike and a senior government official said it had been "a mistake". But a coalition spokesman vehemently denied it was behind the attack. A spokesman said: "There have been no air operations by the coalition in that area for three days. This is totally false news." Initial reports said at least 40 people were killed in the incident, many of them women and children. But on Tuesday morning, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCR) said 130 or more people were now reported to have died. A medical source at a hospital in Maqbana, where the casualties were taken, also told the Reuters news agency that the death toll had risen to 131. "If the numbers are as high as suggested, this may be the single deadliest incident since the start of the conflict," UNHCR spokesman Rupert Colville said. Mr Colville said almost two-thirds of the civilian deaths reported in Yemen over the past 12 months had allegedly been caused by coalition air strikes. The UN has also criticised the coalition's naval blockade of Yemen's seaports, which it says has greatly exacerbated the "extremely dire" humanitarian situation. Some 21 million people, or 80% of the population, now require some form of humanitarian assistance and almost 1.5 million people are internally displaced.

The death toll from a suspected air strike on a wedding party in Yemen on Monday has risen to at least 130, the United Nations and local medics say.

Summarize the following article: The supermarket giant said it has decided not to renew the lease, which it has held for 38 years. The store will close on 15 August. All 225 members of staff have been told they are at risk of redundancy. "Our priority is to do everything we can to find alternative roles within Tesco for as many affected colleagues as possible," a spokesman said. The company said it has several Express and Metro stores in the area. In January, Tesco announced it was shutting 43 stores across the country following successive years of falling sales and profits.

Tesco is to close its store at Five Ways in Birmingham, putting more than 200 jobs at risk.

Summarize the following article: A report by the House of Lords European Union Committee says 15m tonnes of food is wasted in the UK each year. Retailers are also told to behave more responsibly with farmers and avoid cancelling orders at the last minute. However, the British Retail Consortium said the report "had not appreciated what is already happening". In the report, the peers also criticised the EU's "fragmented and untargeted" attempts to tackle the problem. More surplus food should be passed to charities and food banks, the committee said. The report said retailers were able to "pass on" food waste "from the store to the household" by the use of special offers such as "buy one get one free". "It is clear that retailers must assume a far greater responsibility for the prevention of food waste in the home", it said. Committee chairwoman Baroness Scott of Needham Market said food waste was "clearly a huge issue" in the UK and Europe. She said: "Not only is it morally repugnant, but it has serious economic and environmental implications. "The fact that 90m tonnes of food is wasted across the EU each year shows the extent of the problem and explains why we are calling for urgent action." Their demands include a five-year plan by the European Commission to reduce waste across the EU. The amount of food discarded by consumers in industrialised nations is equivalent to nearly the entire level of net food production of sub-Saharan Africa, the committee said. Its report said more education was needed for consumers after peers were told only 37% of people knew the difference between "best before" and "use by" dates on food packaging. Food can still be sold after its best-before date, while a use-by date is used on "highly perishable" products likely to become dangerous after a short period of time. Lady Scott added: "There is also much that can be done domestically, and in particular by the big retailers, to reduce food waste. "We are urging the supermarkets to look again at offers such as 'buy one get one free', which can encourage excess consumption which leads to food waste." Oxfam's head of policy Mark Lawson suggested that the supermarkets' pricing policy was a big part of the problem. "You've got this crazy system where some of the food is being given away and then often ends up getting wasted and the rest of the food is far too expensive," he told BBC 5 live. The report also expressed "concern" about a cut to government funding supporting the work of the UK's Waste and Resources Action Programme (Wrap). "There is a high risk of false economy if the cuts to Wrap's funding to support food waste prevention ultimately lead to resource inefficiency in terms of economic costs to businesses and households," it said. Retail expert John Pal said the big four supermarkets were losing customers because of their complicated deals. "What we are seeing is a bit of a change in consumers' purchasing patterns. They are getting a little bit fed up with this and we are seeing a shift from the big four supermarkets with the consumers voting with their feet and going to the Aldis and the Lidls," he said. In response to the report, the British Retail Consortium said: "The government's own research body has concluded there is no evidence that promotions increase food waste. "It is also worth remembering all major retailers are working to challenging government targets to cut food waste. "Cutting food waste is a key sustainability issue but we need to focus on evidence based policy rather than being distracted by perception."

Supermarkets have been urged to end "buy one get one free" (Bogof) deals to cut the "morally repugnant" amount of food being thrown away by shoppers.

Summarize the following article: "It must be clear that if Britain wants access to the internal market, all the rules and freedoms around the internal market must be totally respected. On that point we must be intransigent. I see the manoeuvres...  You cannot have one foot in and one foot out. If we start to dismantle the internal market by agreeing to the demands of a country that wants to leave, then we will be bringing about the end of Europe." (Paris news conference with French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, 7 Oct) "Brexit negotiations won't be easy. If we don't say full access to the internal market is linked to full freedom of movement, then a movement will spread in Europe where everyone just does whatever they want. We have to make our interests align so that European industry federations don't put pressure on us." (Speaking at German trade and industry meeting in Berlin, 6 Oct) "We must try to formulate offers in a way so that the British remain close to us, also to have the chance to return some day." (At same meeting in Berlin, 6 Oct) "The UK wants to leave and pay nothing. It's not possible. There must be a threat, there must be a risk, there must be a price. Otherwise we will be in a negotiation that cannot end well." (Speaking at Paris Delors Institute, 6 Oct) "There are principles, and on these principles no country still remaining in the EU will budge. That is the position of France, just as much as it is the position of Germany." (10 Oct) "We want to work towards a constructive, open and close relationship with the UK, both bilaterally and also in terms of the UK's relationship with the EU as a whole. The UK can leave the EU, but the UK doesn't stop being a big European partner." (Bloomberg TV interview in Macau, 11 Oct) "It appears as if there's quite a lot of work that needs to be done in the UK before there's a clear view of what the British want. The British government is putting in some efforts to identify what kind of relationship they want. All the same, the UK's partners can't move ahead until the UK has done this work."  ​​(Bloomberg interview after meeting British Prime Minister Theresa May in Copenhagen, 10 Oct) "The first step must be taken by the UK... The internal market means free movement of people, goods, services and capital. That is not a selection menu, it is all inextricably linked. The negotiations will require significant British effort: a final agreement is not only in the interests of the EU but also of the UK..." (After meeting Mrs May in The Hague, 10 Oct) "Shutting the frontiers for a day would show people what it means to wait two hours to get into Italy or Spain, to have controls everywhere, to block all exchanges. One day. So that people see what it is to be outside Europe. It's terrible what I'm saying, but it would be good for people to understand. The UK wants to have its cake and eat it. Before, they were in and they had many opt-outs; now they want to be out with many opt-ins. We're not on Facebook where there's an 'it's complicated' status." (Speaking at a conference on Brexit in Paris, 10 Oct)  "It is their choice to go for a hard Brexit, and I would not be in favour of that at all." (10 Oct) "Whatever the final settlement, what we know with certainty is that Brexit has increased the risk to the Irish economy." (10 Oct)  "It will be a process like no other with far-reaching consequences - its final scope no-one can predict with absolute certainty. It is not only about trading arrangements and access to the EU's single market... is also about preserving our joint and unique culture, our decades of strategic partnership and our commitment to the same shared values..."

Summarize the following article: The event in Newry, County Down, remembered the tens of thousands who died during the Irish Famine which took hold in 1845. An official ceremony was held at the city's Albert Basin and culminated in the laying of wreaths. A minute's silence was also held to remember the dead and those who emigrated. How Famine devastated Ulster Finding Jane Cook Timeline: From crop failure to catastrophe Could thousands of lives have been saved? The commemoration in Newry was led by the Irish minister for arts and heritage, Heather Humphreys, who said it was a "great honour" to be in the city to remember those who had lost their lives. "One of the main reasons for the holding of the commemoration in a different location in each province is to highlight the devastating effects that the Great Famine had on people throughout the island," she said. "The famine has undoubtedly been one of the most significant events in our history. "The failure of the potato crop during the 1840s not only led to the enormous suffering and loss of life but also changed Ireland's demographic and cultural landscape, the effect of which can still be felt today. "We remember all those who suffered as a result of the famine, regardless of their creed, political affiliation or nationality." The first commemoration took place in Dublin in 2008 in recognition of the fact that the famine affected all parts of Ireland. Since then, the location of the annual event has rotated in sequence between the four provinces. Ms Humphreys said she was a "proud Ulster woman" and especially pleased that the event was being held in Northern Ireland for the first time. The last time the event was held in the province of Ulster was in 2011 when it was held in Clones, County Monaghan. During the ceremony, two poems written by local school children about the famine were read out. Guests were also treated to musical performances and speeches. Irish ministers were joined by representatives from the Stormont assembly, including Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín. Mr McGuinness said it was an "important period of reflection for all of us". "I think given the circumstances that we're seeing internationally throughout the world with the plight of the refugees, it brings it all home to us very eloquently how important it is for us, as people who have known suffering in the past, to contribute to the alleviating of the suffering of others." A special plaque will be unveiled in Warrenpoint on Sunday to commemorate those who suffered. Chairperson of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Naomi Bailie said: "I hope our programme of events will serve as a fitting reminder of the devastation and loss experienced by millions of people in the years of the Great Irish Famine 1845-49 and beyond. "No county was left unscathed when the potato crop failed and, for many of those who fled in search of a new life, their journeys began from the ports of Newry and Warrenpoint."

The annual National Famine Commemoration ceremony has taken place in Northern Ireland for the first time.

Summarize the following article: He failed. Yes, Mr Abe did get an agreement from the G7 that global growth is an urgent priority, and that risks remain - in particular a British vote to leave the European Union, which will be decided in a referendum next month. But what he didn't get was a joint action plan that endorsed his view that increasing government spending is the best way out of a slowdown. Germany and the UK were never going to agree that, given that they believe in austerity as the way forward. So that's why in the body of the final declaration you find a rather long and complicated sentence about fixing global growth, which in a roundabout way basically says that each country will adopt its own flexible approach to fiscal stimulus. Or each man (and in Germany's case woman) for himself, basically. In his closing speech at the G7 today though, you'd never think that Mr Abe was a man defeated. Instead, he talked of how the G7 had agreed to deploy "Abenomics" throughout the world (surprising how that sentence didn't make it into the communique) and also agreed to the total mobilisation of all possible policies - something he said Japan is determined to do. Why is that important? Well, Mr Abe was hoping to get the international backing he needs to delay the much-anticipated consumption tax due to be implemented in 2017. There are concerns that a consumption tax would hit spending - and that's something Mr Abe needs to ensure goes up so that prices start to move up too. He had previously said the only two things that would cause him to delay a consumption tax next year are a natural disaster and a Lehman style shock to the world economy. Japan suffered a natural disaster recently with the Kyushu earthquake. And during the G7 summit, the prime minister had stressed that if fiscal stimulus isn't adopted, a Lehman style crisis could hit the world economy. He wasn't able to convince his partners at the G7 of that. Now, let's see if his voters buy into his story.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had one very important mission at this year's G7 summit: sell his brand of economic policies "Abenomics" to the world, and convince world leaders that they should all agree to spend more money in their economies to avert the next crisis.

Summarize the following article: Onyemaechi Mrakpor, 49, and a member of the lower house, told the BBC she was attacked for overtaking the motorcade of Peter Ezenwa Ekpendu on Wednesday. "One man banged at my car, slapped me and called me a prostitute," she said. Mr Ekpendu reportedly watched as the lawmaker was assaulted by his aides within the premises of the parliament. Mrs Mrakpor said she was shocked and embarrassed by what happened and had written a formal complaint to the police. "I wondered if that could happen to me, what the other helpless Nigerians will be going through," she told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme. The opposition lawmaker, who represents a constituency in the southern Delta state, said the incident highlighted the way women and girls are treated in the country. Mrs Mrakpor was in tears when she reported the incident, one senior MP told parliament on Thursday. "This is the time we need to rally behind her not just as a member but as a woman," MP Femi Gbajabiamila said, The Herald newspaper reported. It is not clear when Mr Ekpendu, who has not yet reacted to the report, will face the MPs. Nigerian officials often travel in large convoys, forcing other motorists to make way. There have been frequent accusations that those who refuse to pull over are assaulted. All heads of security agencies in the parliament have also been summoned to explain why they failed to protect the lawmaker. Beware of blue lights - Naziru Mikailu, BBC News Driving along the roads of Nigeria's major cities, it is common to see a large convoy of senior government officials moving at high speed. They often show scant respect for traffic rules. When you spot the blue lights flashing behind your car or hear the sirens, you know that you must give way regardless of the situation. This often causes terrible accidents and lead to abuses of ordinary motorists. The country was shocked in September last year when the officials in the motorcade of a state governor allegedly assaulted a woman and her two children on a highway for not vacating the road for the politician's convoy on time. In most cases the individuals or the politicians and security forces responsible for these large convoys get away with it. After coming to office last year, President Muhammadu Buhari ordered his convoy and security aides to abide by traffic rules and respect other motorists. But it appears that the president's action is yet to convince some other top officials to change their minds.

The head of Nigeria's prisons service has been summoned to appear before parliament after his security guards allegedly slapped a female MP.

Summarize the following article: The Liberal Democrats released the results of a survey which it said suggested many Scottish GPs would not repeat their career choice. And Scottish Labour claimed funding for medical students had been cut since the SNP came to power. Health Secretary Shona Robison said Scotland had more GPs and medical students per head than England. She said the Scottish government "greatly valued the contribution made by GPs" and pointed out that the number of GPs employed in Scotland had risen to record levels under the SNP. And she said Labour's figures on medical student funding "fail to take account of a number of complex changes" to the system, and that funding for general medical services had increased by 10%. The Lib Dems said they had sent a questionnaire to 986 GP practices. It had been completed by 389 GPs at 352 of these practices - equivalent to about a twelfth of the workforce. In the survey, the doctors were asked whether they would choose to be a GP if they had their time again. Of those who responded, 42% said they would, while 33% said they would not and a further 25% said they did not know. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie claimed the results suggested that GPs were "all too often taken for granted by the Scottish government". He said the full results of the survey would be released next week, and added: "The Royal College of GPs have warned that Scotland will be 740 GPs short by 2020. My survey will show how this shortfall is already having a real impact on local doctors." Meanwhile, Labour MSP and former GP Dr Richard Simpson said his research indicated that funding for medical students had fallen by 5% over the past six years. Dr Simpson said that 900 medical students received funding in 2008/09 but the number decreased to 848 students in 2014/15. He accused the Scottish government of being "negligent" as the country "heads towards a GP recruitment crisis". Dr Simpson said: "Instead of investing in the future of our NHS the Scottish government is making existing problems even worse." Responding to the attacks, Ms Robison said: "Record funding for general practice of £768m has brought GP numbers to nearly 5,000, 7% more GPs under this Scottish government - the highest ever - and there are more GPs per head of population in Scotland than in England. "Scotland has more medical students per head of population than the rest of the UK and we are carefully considering the future workforce requirements, focusing especially on widening access to medical school for applicants from more diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds.

Opposition parties have renewed their attack on the Scottish government's record on the NHS.

Summarize the following article: The men stripped down to swimwear emblazoned with the Malaysian flag after the Australian driver's win. The group - branded the "Budgie Nine" - have arrived in a Malaysian court and are expected to be charged. They face up to two years in jail if found guilty of intentional insult and public indecency. The men have been held in Kuala Lumpur since their arrest on Sunday. Under Malaysian law, the men can be held for four days, after which they attorney-general's office can either seek to extend their detention, charge or release them. Malaysia has strict rules on any display of public indecency and foreign offenders are typically issued a fine before being deported. Mr Ricciardo told the Herald Sun newspaper: "It sounds like they have learned their lesson and I don't think they will be doing that again any time soon in Malaysia." "I see it as pretty harmless. I respect the laws in Malaysia but beyond that I don't think they deserve any further punishment." The men were photographed standing in front of crowds at the Sepang track on Sunday, wearing swimwear known in Australia as budgie smugglers. Abdul Aziz Ali, the Sepang assistant police commissioner, has said they were "caught in the act" and that he believes there is enough evidence to charge them. The group includes the son of Australia's trade commissioner in Fukuoka, Japan, and an adviser for cabinet minister Christopher Pyne. They have been visited by representatives from the Australian high commission and a local lawyer. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told the Nine Network that what may be seen as a foolish prank in Australia could be interpreted very differently in other countries. "I don't know that it will be seen as a lapse of judgment," she said. "It was clearly premeditated. They were wearing the budgie smugglers and had bought them in Australia."

Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo has called for nine Australian tourists arrested for stripping off at the Malaysian Grand Prix to be released.

Summarize the following article: Seven of the men hailed from four villages in Tiruvannamalai district - and their families say none of them had worked as woodcutters before. Police say the dead men were among a group of more than 100 smugglers who were challenged when they were cutting down trees in the remote forests near the popular pilgrimage town of Tirupati in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. They said when asked to hand over the logs, the woodcutters refused and attacked the police with axes, sticks and stones in two separate areas of the forests. Police say they acted in self-defence. Now India's National Human Rights Commission has ordered an investigation into the 7 April killings after hearing the testimony of two witnesses. According to the families of the seven men, four of them worked as painters and masons. The other three worked as a plumber, a tailor and an assistant in a small catering business. The mother of one of the victims, Magendra, says her son, was a plumber and was even pursuing an distance learning degree in economics. He had also applied for the post of police constable. Magendra, according to Chitra, was 22 and worked in Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, and had "never worked in the forests before". Thirty-eight-year-old Murugan was a painter and father of two who would travel to nearby towns for work and earn 300 rupees ($4.8; £3.2) a day, says his family. "A few months ago, he told me to stop working. He told me that he would take care of me," his father Manickam said. The family is landless. Sasikumar, another victim, was a painter, says his family. Although he owned two acres of land, a drought had forced him to leave the village and look for painting jobs, his father Annamalai said. He even went to Malaysia to work for two years before returning in 2009 to get married. The couple had two children, aged two and four. Palani Velu, 34, was a tailor who had taken a shop on rent, where he would earn 200-400 rupees for stitching a pair of shirt and trouser. He told his family that he was going to buy buttons and thread and, according to eyewitnesses, ended up on the bus which was stopped by the police. "Why should he put his life in danger by going to the forests? His wife had given birth to his first child just over a month ago," says his mother Sambhanu. Perumal's family said he worked as a mason, and that he had never been to Andhra Pradesh. Muniswamy's family said he was a mason earning 300 rupees a day, and had told his family that he was leaving for a "job" on the fateful day. "Next thing I knew was he had been killed," his widow, Thanjiammal said. And Murthy's family said he worked in a small catering company. The families insist that none of them had ever gone to a forest to work. A journalist who has reported on the incident says the victims all come from some of the most impoverished villages in Tiruvannamalai district in Tamil Nadu. There are two hilly areas populated by poor tribes people, who are in great demand as woodcutters. "These villages are in the throes of severe economic crises. There's little water, no industries, no jobs and the farms are often parched. Many of the men are taken to work outside in Kerala and Andhra Pradesh by agents who come here and lure them away with promises of better paying jobs," he says. "Often they are not told what the job is and they only discover it on reaching the destination. These men may have travelled to the forests before to cut wood in the past, but had not told their families. Or they were being taken there for the first time. That is not clear." However, he says, what is clear is that the victims were not smugglers, but had been hired by a gang to cut red sandalwood. Sandalwood smuggling is rampant in southern India, with a ton selling for tens of thousands of dollars on the international black market. What is also clear is there is a "huge demand" for workers from Tamil Nadu to cut wood for smuggling groups in Andhra Pradesh. There are some 3,000 people from Tamil Nadu lodged in prisons in Andhra Pradesh on smuggling charges, by one estimate. But nobody still knows how the seven men ended up in the woods dead, shot by the police. And rights groups say there are still too many unanswered questions over the killings.

The BBC's Imran Qureshi and K Muralitharan travel to the impoverished villages of India's Tamil Nadu state to meet the families of some of the 20 men, allegedly red sandalwood smugglers, who were killed by police in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh state last week.

Summarize the following article: Corrie Mckeague, from Fife, vanished after a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 24 September. The 23-year-old's Nokia was tracked from Bury to Barton Mills, but was not found. Suffolk Police said it would be impossible to link the phone back found in Mildenhall, near Barton Mills, with the airman's disappearance. LIVE: For more on this and other Suffolk stories The police said the telephone had no essential components. As a result, no further investigations will be carried out on it. On Monday, it was revealed Mr Mckeague was due to become a father. Forbes McKenzie, of McKenzie Intelligence Services which was brought in to assist the search, said the whereabouts of Mr Mckeague's telephone was "key". Mr McKenzie said: "Where the phone finished is indicative of where Corrie last was. "I'm very interested in what other phones were co-located with Corrie's phone." Mr Mckeague's Nokia Lumia 435 phone is thought to have been in a black PVC case which was frayed and worn around the edges.

The back of a phone has been found close to where the last signal from a missing airman's mobile was detected.

Summarize the following article: Mr Obama spoke of a "unique opportunity" to make progress with Iran's new leadership, amid a flurry of diplomacy over its nuclear programme. Earlier, Mr Rouhani said Iran was keen to reach a deal soon. He also asserted that Iran did not seek a nuclear bomb, as Western powers have long suspected. Describing meetings at the UN this week as a "first step", he said he believed the nuclear issue could be settled "within the not too distant future". Mr Rouhani said initial discussions had taken place in an environment that was "quite different" from the past. On his arrival back in Tehran from the UN General Assembly forum in New York, Mr Rouhani was met by a number of key political figures, as well as both supporters and opponents from the public. A New York Times reporter described the scene as chaotic, with dozens of hardliners hurling eggs and shoes at the president's convoy. The call with Mr Obama was made just before Mr Rouhani left New York, where he has been attending the annual summit of the UN General Assembly, Iranian news agency Irna said. By James ReynoldsBBC Iran correspondent Hassan Rouhani's actions in New York reveal a man dealing with the inherent, overwhelming contradiction of his job: he has a popular mandate without actual power. In a speech given on 17 September in Tehran, Ali Khamenei approved the use of "heroic flexibility" in diplomacy. This would appear to translate as an instruction to President Rouhani: by all means see what you can get from the Americans, but don't go around shaking Obama's hand. The ayatollah-approved outreach in New York included the first sustained direct talks between the US and Iran at foreign minister level for more than 30 years. Hassan Rouhani may be able to recommend a deal, he may be able to explain how concessions are the best way to get sanctions lifted, and improve the lives of ordinary Iranians. But in the end, it is the supreme leader who will have the final say. Ayatollah-approved diplomacy Q&A: Iran sanctions White House officials described the 15 minute conversation - apparently initiated by Mr Rouhani - as cordial, the BBC's Bridget Kendall reports from New York. Mr Obama raised concerns about American prisoners in Iran, but the bulk of the call was about efforts to reach a solution on the nuclear issue, she says. Afterwards, Mr Obama said: "While there will surely be important obstacles to moving forward and success is by no means guaranteed, I believe we can reach a comprehensive solution." Mr Rouhani, who is regarded as a moderate and was elected in June, has said he wants to reach a deal over the nuclear issue in three to six months. He says he is fully empowered by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to negotiate. On Friday, he told a press conference at the UN: "Whatever result we achieve through negotiations my government will have the full backing of all the main branches of power in Iran as well as the support of the people of Iran." And he said he wanted a deal "within a very short period of time". Earlier the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it had held "very constructive" talks with Iran in Vienna. IAEA Deputy Director-General Herman Nackaerts did not give details of Friday's talks, but said the two parties would meet again on 28 October. "We will start substantial discussions on the way forward to resolving all outstanding issues," Mr Nackaerts said. Reza Najafi, Iran's envoy to the IAEA, was quoted as saying that the aim was to reach an agreement "as soon as possible" and also spoke of a "constructive discussion". By Jeremy BowenBBC Middle East editor New tone, old differences On Thursday US Secretary of State John Kerry held a rare meeting with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif. Mr Kerry said he was struck by the "very different tone", but added that Iran still had questions to answer. There had been speculation that Mr Rouhani and Mr Obama might meet in New York. Mr Rouhani told journalists that "in principle we did not have any problems with having a meeting", but "there was not sufficient time" for planning the encounter. The Iranian president rebuffed questions about Iran's reliability as a negotiating partner, saying his country wanted to retain nuclear technology but would submit to IAEA supervision. "We say explicitly that we do not seek a bomb," he said. "We say explicitly that we believe the building of a bomb is dangerous for us - for our region." The US and China have said they expect Iran to respond to an existing offer by the US, Russia, Britain, France, China and Germany, who form a negotiating group known as the P5+1. The group has asked Iran to halt production and stockpiling of uranium enriched to 20% - a step away from achieving a nuclear weapons capability. They also demanded Iran shut down the Fordo underground enrichment facility, near Qom. Substantive talks between Iran and the P5+1 are due to take place on 15 October, and Mr Rouhani said Iran would bring a plan to that meeting, though he did not give details.

US President Barack Obama has spoken by phone to Iran's Hassan Rouhani - the first such top-level conversation in more than 30 years.

Summarize the following article: "An honest day's work for an honest day's pay." Capitalism was "nothing less than a crusade to enfranchise the many in the economic life of the nation". Politicians - and indeed supporters of free market economics - have long feared a society where some people flourish to great personal gain and others miss out at great personal loss, despite their best efforts. That way lies the chaos of a resentful backlash. And capitalism does not like chaos. Last week, Andrew Haldane, the chief economist of the Bank of England, warned of a country where economic divisions are growing. On Monday, Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank, said that Britain was facing "a lost decade" of stagnant incomes where people in work were no better off than before the financial crisis. Today's Joseph Rowntree report reveals that what is called "in-work poverty" is at record levels. Millions of people are endeavouring to do an honest day's (or night's) work for not very much pay at all. This is the issue of our age - the sense that despite effort expended, people feel "the system" is against them. As Mr Carney said, there is much greater acceptance of high and stubborn levels of inequality - which hasn't actually changed significantly in relative terms since the financial crisis - as long as people feel their position is getting better or has the potential to do so. Once that breaks down, because of stagnant incomes and high costs of living, faith in the system falls and the desire for radical change grows. Theresa May is acutely aware of this. She has spoken of an economy that "works for all". It is an ambitious target, and presumably means that fewer people should suffer in-work poverty, not more. The prime minister has three years to achieve a reversal of the trend highlighted by today's report. Then, she faces a public who have yet to vote for her as a prime minister in a general election. With in-work benefits frozen and the risk of inflation rising, Downing Street knows it is facing into some significant headwinds. There is much good news in the Joseph Rowntree report. The pensioner poverty rate is down. The number of people in workless families is down as employment levels rise. Attainment levels at school are improving. But Mrs May has not set her government that test. She has set a test on how the economy operates and who is rewarded. The PM has bet the farm on improving productivity, the amount of economic value produced for each hour worked. The wealth created should mean a pay rise for all. That means investing in roads and railways, and businesses backing new technology and skills training so that Britain works more smoothly. These are long term projects aimed at solving deep seated problems. And the levers are not all under the control of the state. The private sector will have to play its role. Mass low wage sectors such as retail, healthcare and hospitality will find themselves under increasing scrutiny. Those on lower incomes feel squeezed - are squeezed - now. The next election is in 2020. Mrs May will hope that the Joseph Rowntree report on poverty that comes out the Christmas before that date has better news. That an honest day's work is actually rewarded with an honest day's pay.

"My politics are based not on some economics theory," Margaret Thatcher once said, "but on things I and millions like me were brought up with.

Summarize the following article: It was a case of being in the right place at the right time as the former England and Liverpool captain was left short of players to take part in a practice session for his A licence assessment. And so, 10 youngsters from Dereham Education and Soccer Academy (DESA) were handed LA Galaxy kit and put to work by Gerrard. "Some of the LA Galaxy academy players that were meant to stay behind and help Gerrard went home," academy head coach Tom Parke told BBC Radio Norfolk. Media playback is not supported on this device "As we were leaving the ground, someone said 'we need your players'. All of our lads were put in full LA Galaxy kit, we [the team's management] watched the session." The session lasted for about 35 minutes with Gerrard's main focus on playing out from the back. After restricting the players to half a pitch, the 35-year-old then coached positional play in an 11 v 11 situation. Following their impromptu outing, the youngsters then went into selfie mode with star players, including Gerrard, Ashley Cole and Giovani dos Santos, collecting the holiday snaps of a lifetime. DESA was founded at the beginning of 2013 and is run in partnership with Dereham Town Football Club with a view to eventually establishing another team in the area. Following a successful tour to the United States in 2015, the academy used contacts to set up a match against LA Galaxy's Under-18 team on their return visit this year, as well as tour of the Major League Soccer club's StubHub Centre ground. Gerrard - who played more than 700 games for Liverpool and earned 114 England caps - even took the time to share some of his thoughts on the game with Parke. "He told me a lot of football is about personalities and characters," Parke added. "He mentioned Didi Hamann at half-time in the (2005) Champions League final, when they were 3-0 down, and having big personalities step up when you're in those positions in matches." So, after unexpectedly spending an afternoon in Gerrard's company, how does Parke think will he fair as a future manager? "I can see him being really successful. The best thing about him is his calm manner, but at the same time he knows exactly what he wants from his players," said Parke, who has a Uefa B coaching licence. "He asked me what I thought of the session and I told him I thought his coaching positions and coaching points were great, which they would be because he knows the game better than most."

A group of teenagers from Norfolk thought they were going on a stadium tour in Los Angeles - but ended up being coached by Steven Gerrard.

Summarize the following article: It means that 99.9% of parents who applied on behalf of their children have secured a funded nursery place, with just 16 applicants still waiting. In April, the BBC reported that almost 800 applicants were waiting to find out if they had been successful. The new education minister, Peter Weir, said he was "delighted" by the update. "The department and the Education Authority have worked hard to meet demand for pre-school places, including approving or funding additional places across both voluntary and statutory settings," the minister said. "Pre-school places remain available across Northern Ireland and the Education Authority will continue to work with those parents who have been unsuccessful in securing a pre-school place." Letters on the outcome of the second stage of the application process were issued to parents on Friday. Demand for funded pre-school places has risen in recent years and there are a number of criteria to help schools decide which children to admit. Legislation requires providers to give preference to children from socially-disadvantaged backgrounds, whose parents are in receipt of Income Support or Jobseeker's Allowance. Further criteria can include whether a child has had a sibling at the school, or how far away they live from the building.

Almost 23,000 children in Northern Ireland have been offered a pre-school nursery education place from September, funded by the Department of Education.

Summarize the following article: Media playback is not supported on this device The 30-year-old, who has played mainly as a forward, operated in a deeper role for much of the 1-0 win in Trnava. Rooney revealed that Allardyce, who lost his job last week, admitted to him that his comments had been a mistake. "I played exactly to instructions," said the Manchester United player. "He knew he had made a mistake. He said that to me on the plane home. "That's part of being involved at this level. He understood that quite early and unfortunately he doesn't have the chance to rectify that now." Rooney, England's all-time leading scorer with 53 goals, also thought he had given "a decent performance" against Slovakia. England won their opening World Cup 2018 qualifier 1-0 thanks to an injury-time winner from Liverpool's Adam Lallana. "I actually thought I'd done quite well, especially in the second half," said Rooney. "It has all been blown up." Allardyce left his post as England manager by mutual agreement with the Football Association last week after only one match and 67 days in charge. It followed a newspaper investigation claiming he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers. "It's a shame," said Rooney. "Everyone could see how excited Sam was for the job and he came in and showed that enthusiasm to the players. "It's a shame it's happened and I'm sure he deeply regrets it. For the FA, I'm sure it has been a tough couple of weeks." Gareth Southgate will take charge of England for the next four games. Media playback is not supported on this device Rooney thinks it's an opportunity for the England Under-21 boss to "show what he can do at senior level". "We have to buy into his ways and take his ideas on board," said Rooney. Rooney's place in the England side has been under scrutiny since the country's failure at Euro 2016, where he played in midfield. Asked where he thought he would play for England under Southgate, Rooney said: "It is getting tiring, that question. I have answered it many times. "It is the same answer. I will play where the manager wants me to play. I have never picked myself." On Monday, Southgate confirmed that Rooney will remain as captain, describing the forward as "the outstanding leader in the group". Rooney welcomed the backing of the interim boss, saying: "With Sam, there was a lot of talk over whether I would be captain. It was good Gareth put that to bed early and there was no unnecessary speculation." Media playback is not supported on this device Gary Cahill is expected to start in the centre of defence against Malta. The 30-year-old has made some high-profile mistakes for Chelsea in recent weeks, including against Swansea when he allowed Leroy Fer to rob him of possession and score the equaliser. "Up to Swansea, my form was good, I was playing well and I was happy," Cahill told BBC Sport. "But since then I have made a few big errors, basic errors. As ridiculously bad as they were, they are easy to correct."

Wayne Rooney feels he got "slaughtered" for his display in last month's win in Slovakia after former England boss Sam Allardyce stated that his captain "played wherever he wanted".

Summarize the following article: The existing timber and thatch structure at West Stow, in Suffolk, is "beyond repair". St Edmundsbury Borough Council is spending £20,000 on a replacement, which should take a couple of months to complete. The reconstructions have been built on the site of a village which was believed to have existed from 420-650. The site was excavated between 1965 and 1972 and the reconstruction project began with a team of students from Cambridge University in 1973. Work on the new house has begun with a pit being dug so that its floor will be about a foot (30cm) below ground. Sarah Broughton, chairwoman of the West Stow Anglo Saxon Village trust, said: "The sunken building that is there now is beyond repair, so the idea is to put the first new building up for 10 years and for people to come along and watch the construction as it goes along. "West Stow is an experimental archaeological site, so we are experimenting all the time with the construction to see what would have been used 1,500 year ago and what would have succeeded in the sandy soil." The builders will be using tools, materials and methods believed to have been used in the Anglo-Saxon period. The timber framework for the new building is due to be raised on Wednesday. Once the new house is built, the old one will be taken down and research carried out into the rotting process. It is hoped this will give an insight into how long an Anglo Saxon house would have stayed up and how much material they could have recycled.

A reconstructed Anglo-Saxon village is to get a new house to replace one built 40 years ago.

Summarize the following article: The Vulcan Hotel, which opened in 1853, was dismantled brick by brick last year, and is in storage. St Fagans hopes to recreate the building as it would have looked in 1915, and ground works could start this year if permission is granted. Museum officials are appealing for anyone with old pictures of the pub to get in touch. Gerallt Nash, senior curator of historic buildings, said: "We don't have many early pictures. "If anyone remembers going there and can describe it, or have early photographs of the Vulcan, we would like to see them." Mr Nash said plans were submitted to Cardiff council last week. He said: "We have decided on the date we're going to represent when we rebuild it, which is 1915. "It dates back to 1853, but it was substantially altered in 1914 and that's the period that's of greatest interest to us. "We have got copies of plans prepared in 1914 for the building." Rebuilding plans include using the original tiles on the outside of the building, bearing the hotel's name. Original features will also include a set of gents' ceramic urinals dating back to 1914 or further. Mr Nash said running the pub as a working exhibit was an option. It was once part of Cardiff's Newtown area and popular with the Irish community. The old suburb was cleared during post-war redevelopment. The museum hope the pub will help tell the story of an expanding and changing Cardiff at the end of the 19th and start of the 20th Centuries. The pub was bought by compulsory purchase order five years ago as part of redevelopments and last orders were called for the final time in May 2012.

Plans have been submitted to rebuild one of Cardiff's oldest pubs at St Fagans National History Museum.

Summarize the following article: Germany has dropped below Japan to have not just the lowest birth rate across Europe but also globally, according to the report by Germany-based analysts. Its authors warned of the effects of a shrinking working-age population. They said women's participation in the workforce would be key to the country's economic future. In Germany, an average of 8.2 children were born per 1,000 inhabitants over the past five years, according to the study by German auditing firm BDO with the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI). It said Japan saw 8.4 children born per 1,000 inhabitants over the same time period. In Europe, Portugal and Italy came in second and third with an average of 9.0 and 9.3 children, respectively. France and the UK both had an average of 12.7 births per 1,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, the highest birth rates were in Africa, with Niger at the top of the list with 50 births per 1,000 people. Germany's falling birth rate means the percentage of people of working age in the country - between 20 and 65 - would drop from 61% to 54% by 2030, Henning Voepel, director of the HWWI, said in a statement (in German). Arno Probst, a BDO board member, said employers in Germany faced higher wage costs as a result. "Without strong labour markets, Germany cannot maintain its economic edge in the long run," he added. Experts disagree over the reasons for Germany's low birth rate, as well as the ways to tackle the situation. Mr Probst said the country would need young immigrant workers to fill the significant skills gap. And more women were needed in the workforce to avoid economic problems. Germany has one of the highest migration rates in the world, but has also seen growing support for anti-immigration party Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD). The latest birth rate figures comes despite efforts by Mrs Merkel's government to invest in childcare support.

A study says Germany's birth rate has slumped to the lowest in the world, prompting fears labour market shortages will damage the economy.

Summarize the following article: King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo defected after holding talks with DA Eastern Cape leader Athol Trollip. Last week, he accused President Jacob Zuma of being "just a Zulu boy", in a sign of growing ethnic divisions. The mainly white DA is trying to boost its membership in black areas. General elections are due next year, with the ANC, in power since white minority rule ended in 1994, expected to win. King Dalindyebo is facing a threat to his traditional post from within his family. His brother, Daludumo Mtirara, has refused to recognise him as king and is lobbying the government to strip him of the post. Correspondents say King Dalindyebo's defection does not come as a surprise as he been involved in a long-running feud with the ANC, which he accuses of siding with his rivals in the royal family. Democratic Alliance spokesman Mmusi Maimane said although they do not agree with some of the king's statements "anyone is free to join the DA", AFP news agency reports. "We believe that he represents an important component of society in the Eastern Cape," Mr Maimane is quoted as saying. King Dalindyebo has previously threatened to secede from South Africa. He was convicted in 2009 of assault, kidnap and culpable homicide, and sentenced to 15 years in prison. He is appealing against the ruling. The charges relate to a dispute he had with some of his subjects. He was accused of kidnapping a woman and her six children, setting their home on fire and beating up four youths, one of whom died. King Dalindyebo has also said he would stop smoking marijuana when Mr Zuma stops being corrupt. Correspondents say his defection is a psychological blow to the ANC as he comes from its political heartland of the Eastern Cape. However, it is unclear how much support King Dalindyebo commands, correspondents say. The recruitment could backfire on the DA as the monarch has a criminal record, raising questions about the party's commitment to good governance, they add. Last week, the monarch visited Mr Mandela, 94, in hospital, amid growing concern about the health of South Africa's first black president. Mr Mandela was admitted to hospital on 8 June with a recurring lung infection.

The king of Nelson Mandela's Thembu ethnic group has defected from South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) to the main opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) party.

Summarize the following article: Anne Marie Waters was blocked from standing for UKIP at the election, with then leader Paul Nuttall saying her views made him "uncomfortable". She campaigns against Sharia law in the UK and has called Islam "evil". UKIP said the campaign launch was "not in any way an official UKIP event" and urged members to "think very carefully" before attending. A UKIP spokesman said all leadership candidates would be vetted by the party's National Executive Committee, who will decide which ones will be allowed to go forward to a vote of the membership. Waters had planned to launch her leadership bid at Rotherham football club but has been forced to find an alternative venue. "There were concerns about my 'views' and no doubt, police were happy to add to such concerns", she said in a statement on her website. South Yorkshire Police has said the decision to cancel the event at Rotherham's New York stadium was taken by the club. The launch will now take place at an undisclosed location in Rotherham. Waters took part in a "silent protest" march against grooming gangs in the town last year. In a joint statement, UKIP MEP Jane Collins and councillor Allen Cowles, leader of UKIP's Rotherham branch, said they supported the decision to cancel the planned stadium rally and urged the party's councillors to boycott Waters' campaign launch. Mr Cowles said: "UKIP councillors wish to make it clear that they do not condone in any way the views Ms Waters has previously expressed, or what she stands for." Waters announced her plans to stand for the UKIP leadership at a rally in Manchester earlier this month, where she was introduced by former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson. She told the cheering crowd "Islam is a killing machine" and urged them to "join UKIP and vote for me," adding that the party will "try to stop me". After the Brexit vote, UKIP's leadership was aware the party had to broaden its appeal. The former leader, Paul Nuttall, backed a radical policy platform with social integration at its core. He said the party would shape the debate around extremism and Islamism in the way it claimed to have done with immigration - daring to address topics other politicians wouldn't. But while some in UKIP welcomed the policies announced in the election manifesto - including a ban on face coverings - they caused disquiet among other members who feared the party was in danger of being seen as Islamophobic. Mr Nuttall insisted that was not the case, saying the focus was breaking down barriers in society and improving integration. But UKIP is sensitive to public perception about its policy and direction. Having been dogged by allegations of racism in the past, it's determined not to go there again. A former Labour Party activist, Waters set up a UK branch of anti-mass immigration organisation Pegida with Robinson, but is no longer thought to be involved with the group. She founded Sharia Watch UK, which aims to "to document the advancement of Sharia law in Britain," in 2014. She hit the headlines a year later when she announced plans for an exhibition of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, but was forced to cancel the event after police warned it could be "a risk to public safety". She has argued that UKIP could regain support if it had the "guts" to be "honest about Islam" and challenge the view that it has "nothing to do" with jihadist violence. Anti-fascist campaign group HopeNotHate has branded Waters a "toxic figure" and urged UKIP to expel her from the party. But she has been defended by former UKIP leadership contender Raheem Kassam, editor of the Breitbart London website, who wrote earlier this year: "If UKIP ditches Anne Marie Waters, the party is over". The UKIP leadership contest was triggered by the resignation of Paul Nuttall, when the party failed to win any seats at the general election and saw its share of the vote collapse. Mr Nuttall, who campaigned for a ban on burkas and Sharia courts, said in April that Waters' comments were "way above and beyond party policy" and some had made him feel "a bit uncomfortable". London Assembly member Peter Whittle and Ben Walker, a former UKIP councillor in South Gloucestershire, have also announced leadership bids. MEP Bill Etheridge, who came third in the first of UKIP's two leadership contests last year, and Thanet council leader Chris Wells have both said they might stand if Nigel Farage cannot be persuade to return to the job he quit after last year's Brexit referendum. The former UKIP leader has not ruled out a bid.

The founder of the Sharia Watch pressure group is launching a bid to be the next UKIP leader on Saturday.

Summarize the following article: Eyewitnesses said about 50 fans were in the Bar BQ cafe in the Belgian capital on Wednesday night when up to 100 people tried to break in. "We had Tottenham fans and suddenly people came from outside," bar worker Marie Elizabeth told BBC Radio London. "They started hitting people with chairs, tables and glasses - whatever they found." One person was reported to be badly injured in the attack. Ms Elizabeth said the atmosphere inside the bar had been "very good" before the attack, and that Spurs supporters "did not do anything to cause problems". "It was very scary because it is the first time something like this has happened in the area," she added. "It wasn't expected and we didn't know what to do. "Thank god someone was by the door and they tried to close it, so they didn't come inside. If they had come inside I don't know what was going to happen. "A lot of people from England were hurt. We called the police and the ambulance and they came for first aid." Tottenham fan Sion Roberts tweeted pictures from outside the bar following the attack, showing displaced tables and chairs and damage to the bar's frontage. One person was reported to be badly injured in the attack. Fans of the north London club have previously been targeted when playing on the continent, notably in Rome in 2012 and Lyon in 2013. Tottenham play Anderlecht on Thursday night.

A group of Tottenham fans have been attacked in Brussels before the Europa League tie against Anderlecht.

Summarize the following article: It is her first announcement in her new role as "state counsellor", a position similar to prime minister. She is barred from the presidency but leads the National League for Democracy party which has a huge majority in both houses of parliament. The move could affect up to 500 prisoners in jail or awaiting trial. Ms Suu Kyi was once a political prisoner herself, and said the releases were a government priority. Hundreds have already been freed in recent years as part of the political reform process that ended Myanmar's long period of military rule. But others have also been arrested, often for holding unauthorised demonstrations. A government statement did not name who would be freed but there are an estimated 100 political prisoners still in jail and about 400 others, including some students, awaiting trial. The BBC's Myanmar correspondent, Jonah Fisher, says it is unclear who will qualify as a political prisoner under the announcement, and whether it will apply to Myanmar's many ethnic insurgencies. US President Barack Obama contacted Ms Suu Kyi and Myanmar's new President, Htin Kyaw, by telephone on Wednesday. He praised her "determined efforts, over the course of many years and at great personal cost, to achieve a peaceful transfer of power and advance national reconciliation," the White House said. Also this week Ms Suu Kyi met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in her capacity as Myanmar's foreign minister.

Aung San Suu Kyi says her new government in Myanmar will work towards freeing all remaining political prisoners within the next two weeks.

Summarize the following article: Philip Carlyle, 47, was shot four times in the head in his office on Queensland's Gold Coast in April 1997. Police have long suspected that the father-of-three knew his killer because there were no signs of a break-in, but progress in the case had been elusive. A fresh cold case investigation began last year. On Tuesday, detectives charged a 68-year-old Gold Coast man with murder. They also charged a 69-year-old woman with making false statements to police, and a 66-year-old man with being an accessory after the fact of murder and having an unsecured weapon. Police rewards totalling A$400,000 (£240,000; $300,000) had failed to provide progress in the case. However, local media reported that detectives last year discovered a fresh clue relating to an uncommon type of ammunition used in the crime. In 2014, police identified the ammunition as Swedish-manufactured Norma brand .32 ACP 77 grain. Earlier this year, lead investigator Detective Sergeant Rod Seaman told the Australian Broadcasting Corp that police were closing in on a suspect. "We believe that we have identified some ammunition which has come from that same batch which we have seized from a person of interest," he said. Mr Carlyle, a marketing manager at a computer business, was described by relatives as a generous and loving family man.

Australian police have arrested three people in what could mark a breakthrough in a 20-year-old execution-style murder case.

Summarize the following article: Council workers Charles Owenson, 62, and James Costello, 44, received bribes from businessmen Kevin Balmer, 52, and Brendan Cantwell, 44. The council employees helped award contracts to Edinburgh Action Building Contracts Ltd (ABC Ltd). The charges related to the maintenance of council buildings from 2006 to 2010. The four men, who had earlier pled guilty, were remanded in custody on Tuesday at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. They will be sentenced on Friday. Sheriff Michael O'Grady QC told them: "Having regard to the gravity of the offences, it is clear to me the sentences will require to be custodial and require to be significant." Balmer and Cantwell are former directors of ABC, which went into liquidation in 2010. The court heard that Cantwell runs another company, Action Scaffolding, which continues to work for Edinburgh City Council legitimately. The court heard that Owenson and Costello were provided with hospitality including corporate seats at Hibs and Hearts football grounds, meals out and visits to bars as well as cash. The contractors even submitted inflated invoices to the local authority for work carried out to cover the costs of the bribes they were paying council officials. Fiscal Keith O'Mahony earlier told the court: "In essence, the council was being charged for the cost of bribing its own officials." Invoices were found that were falsely inflated to the value of more than £67,000. The prosecutor said the hospitality the firm provided was "extensive" and added: "Drinks and lap dances were purchased for Owenson and Costello." The pair also had expensive cars including an Audi TT Quattro and a Mercedes ML320. Owenson and Costello allocated work orders to the firm valued at a total of almost £1.5m.

Four men who admitted corruption charges over Edinburgh council building repairs have been warned they face "significant" prison sentences.

Summarize the following article: Ruth Pfau, who lived in Pakistan for more than 50 years, set up 150 leprosy clinics across the country. Her efforts meant that in 1996 the disease was declared to have been brought under control. A member of staff at Dr Pfau's national leprosy centre, Yasmeen Morris, said her death was "a big loss to humanity". She said: "It is very hard to find a person like her in today's era. "Today, everyone thinks about themselves, but she never thought about herself. She led a very simple life and she loved humanity." She was laid to rest after a funeral service at St Patrick's Cathedral in Karachi, where the coffin was draped in the Pakistani flag and covered with rose petals. After her death, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said Dr Pfau "may have been born in Germany, but her heart was always in Pakistan". "Dr Ruth came to Pakistan here at the dawn of a young nation, looking to make lives better for those afflicted by disease, and in doing so, found herself a home," he said. Dr Pfau witnessed leprosy in Pakistan for the first time while working as a medical missionary in the 1960s. She set up 150 clinics across the country which treated tens of thousands of patients. She received numerous honours for her work, including the Hilal-e-Imtiaz, Hilal-e-Pakistan and the German Staufer Medal.

A state funeral has been held in Pakistan for a German doctor and nun who devoted her life to battling leprosy.

Summarize the following article: Coleman previously managed Fulham, Coventry and Real Sociedad. And Ratcliffe believes that Coleman is a sensible selection to provide continuity following the loss of Speed. "I think we need a Welshman in charge and I do not think there were too many other candidates around who could come in," Ratcliffe told BBC Sport. "From what you hear it was a close call between Gary and Chris last time the FAW chose the manager so I think this does provide some sort of continuity as far as they are concerned. "And from a financial point of view it makes sense as they don't have to pay compensation. Chris goes in there with a good track record and he's got a good reputation in the game "Chris is a good man and a proud Welshman, so he will be passionate about the job and want to carry on the good work started by Gary." Coleman won 32 caps for Wales and was a colleague of Speed at international level. "Chris goes in there with a good track record and he's got a good reputation in the game. He did very well for a long spell at Fulham. I know things didn't work out for him at Coventry City but financially things were tough and no-one else has been able to do too well there." Ratcliffe, who won 59 caps for Wales, added: "Obviously there have been a lot of emotions after what happened with Gary but I think Chris is a good choice and deserves support. He has some very good, maturing young players to work with as well."

Former Wales captain Kevin Ratcliffe has backed the choice of Chris Coleman as successor to Gary Speed as national team manager.

Summarize the following article: The body of 49-year-old Michael Freshwater was discovered in Westridge Road on 29 April. Police said they wanted to trace Tristan Pope, 23, and Kevin Suika, 21, in connection with the murder. They are believed to be from London but have contacts in Southampton and the South East. Eleven arrests have been made in connection with Mr Freshwater's death. Ashton Singh, 26, charged with perverting the course of justice, appeared at the city's magistrates' court on 3 May and was remanded in custody.

Summarize the following article: The record breaking challenge is to cycle around the world in fewer than 100 days. The 51-year old had been forced to abandon his first attempt through a combination of illness and injury. He has just set off from a new starting point in Latvia and will cycle for 200 miles a day during the adventure. Mr Smith said when he realised the record was 125 days he thought about "actually trying to make a piece of history, which is under 100 days."

Dumfries man Peter Smith is making a fresh start in his bid to become the quickest and oldest man to cycle round the world.

Summarize the following article: Asking her hand in marriage posed an even bigger challenge. "I was very hesitant because all my dreams could have been shattered once I admitted my feeling," he says. "She was very likely to refuse a relationship with me because it would be against traditions." Tareq is an Egyptian Muslim, while Howaida was a Coptic Christian. Interfaith marriages are increasingly unacceptable in Egypt; couples must be ready to pay a hefty price. Despite this, Howaida accepted Tareq's proposal. "That was against all my expectations," he says. "She pledged to overcome all hurdles so we could marry. It was the happiest moment of my entire life." But the hurdles they would encounter soon would prove too big for their relationship to continue. Religion is an incredibly sensitive issue in Egypt, with many Christians and Muslims refusing to accept people leaving their congregation. Religious leaders often see inter-faith marriage an attempt to recruit members from the other religion. Fr George Matta, pastor of St George Church at Ezbet Hanna Ayoub in Menya, Upper Egypt, suggests that the culture in the Egyptian countryside does not accept interfaith relationships. "My advice to young people is that they should choose their life partner from their own religion," says Fr Matta. "This is just a piece of advice. We still have a very long way to go before we have open-minded communities like the West," he says, adding that he believed attitudes should change. Last year, a Muslim man was killed and five others were injured in clashes that took place in a remote village in Menya province. During the same incident, five Christian houses were set on fire. The fighting erupted because of a relationship between a Muslim girl and a Christian neighbour. Ahmed Attallah, an Egyptian writer who studies sectarian clashes, says the same story happens frequently. "Love is behind most of the sectarian clashes but it is hardly mentioned in official papers," he says. "The authorities may blame evangelisation, apostasy or even abduction. But they never admit that there are simply love stories behind clashes." Aya and Milad's relationship started in Tahrir Square in the middle of the 2011 Egyptian revolution. But after more than three years together, they feel frustrated. They can't marry in Egypt because Milad is a Christian, while Aya is a Muslim woman. Under Egyptian law, Milad would have to convert Islam, even though a Christian woman can marry a Muslim man without having to convert. The couple considered travelling abroad to marry and start a family. But even that would not solve their problem. "Even though we would sign a civil marriage document, we would not be able to come back to Egypt," says 24-year-old Aya. "The authorities will never approve our marriage or register our children as Egyptians. We must then live outside Egypt until we die." Ahmed Attallah says that interfaith marriage has effectively become prohibited in Egypt. "When a Christian woman goes to a notary to register a marriage with a Muslim man, the officials tell her that she must have a letter of approval from the Church," he says. "The Egyptian Church has consistently refused to approve marriages between different Christian sects, let alone different religions." he adds. Abeer, who used to be a Christian, has been married to Mohammed, a Muslim, for 24 years. They live in Menya, the same province that saw the bloody sectarian clashes more than year ago, and they say the public response to relationships such as theirs has become much more violent. "When we got married, people actually tended to congratulate us everywhere we went in the village" Mohamed says. However, the couple - like many others in their situation - still had to pay a heavy price for their relationship. Abeer's family disowned her for marrying a Muslim and converting to Islam. When she ran into her father after the wedding, she remembers that he ignored her and said: "My Abeer is dead". Tareq, who fell in love with Howaida at university, could not bear to make her suffer in the same way, even though she was prepared to convert to Islam. They split up in 2009. Tareq says he feared his relationship with Howaida would put her in danger from her own family. "I did not want to get her into trouble which could end with her family killing her," Tareq says. He adds: "I'm now married a wonderful, decorous veiled woman and have lovely children, may God save them and her." "But for me, I can't say that I 'love' my wife." "I still love the Christian woman I used to meet. I will never forget her." The names of some of the contributors have been changed at their request.

"We had a five-year romance, but I never even touched her hand," says Tareq, as he remembers his relationship with fellow university student Howaida.

Summarize the following article: The computers were taken during a break-in at Swan Films in Rusholme, Manchester on Thursday afternoon.

Summarize the following article: Ian Stewart, 56, denies murdering Helen Bailey and dumping her body in order to inherit her fortune. He said one of the men attacked him on the day the Electra Brown writer vanished and warned he would not "see Helen again" if he spoke to police. Mr Stewart claimed the men had hounded the writer over past business dealings. Ms Bailey was last seen on 11 April and reported missing by Mr Stewart on 15 April 2016. She was found beneath the garage at her home, together with that of her dachshund Boris, on 15 July. The 56-year-old is accused of sedating and murdering his partner before dumping her body in a foul cesspit beneath their garage. He told his trial at St Albans Crown Court that he lied to Ms Bailey's friends, family and the police about her whereabouts out of fear for her life. Two men, whom he knew only as Nick and Joe, were said to have been old business associates of her first husband, John Sinfield. Stewart claimed he was attacked by the tattooed thug called Nick on his doorstep last spring. He told the court: "As I opened the door, he pushed me back into the hall and he must have tripped me at some point. "He said: 'Helen is with us, she is helping us solve a problem, don't tell anyone'. "He said: 'Sorry, we have taken Helen and Boris with us', he said 'we will be back we will see you Friday, if anyone asks tell them she's gone Broadstairs (Kent), don't tell anyone in any way'. "He then said: 'If you tell anyone you won't see Helen again'." Mr Stewart continued: "I was still on the floor, I was winded and my eyes were watering and he then hit me again and said: 'Do you understand?' and I nodded. "He then quoted my telephone number at me and asked if that was correct and I just nodded. "I was shocked and confused, it was so odd," he added. The defendant claimed Joe had visited the house earlier and demanded if Ms Bailey knew about his old business dealings, before saying, in hushed tones: "Just think about this." Mr Stewart, of Baldock Road, Royston, Hertfordshire, denies murder, preventing a lawful burial, fraud, and three counts of perverting the course of justice. The trial continues.

The fiance of a children's author has told a murder trial she was snatched by two men who warned him not to go to the police.

Summarize the following article: Manbij is situated at an intersection of roads just south of the Turkish border. It has been under IS control for more than two years. Small numbers of IS militants are still resisting, using civilians as human shields, the alliance says. 'Street by street': BBC Manbij exclusive On the frontline for IS-led city Forces 'enter Manbij' The Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), a coalition of US-backed fighters including the powerful Kurdish YPG militia, launched a campaign to retake the northern city two months ago. They were backed by US-led air strikes on IS positions. After some heavy fighting, Manbij was encircled and completely cut off in June. Dozens of civilians, including 11 children, were reportedly killed in US-led air strikes in July as they fled a village near the city. Now, says a report from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based group that relies on updates from people inside Syria, IS is being pushed out. An SDF commander, Adnan Abu-Amjad, said his forces were "advancing cautiously" into the city and had taken over 80% of the town. The main obstacle was that IS was using civilians as human shields. He said the "small groups" of militants that remained had been surrounded by SDF soldiers. Mr Abu-Amjad said that between 10,000 and 15,000 civilians were left in areas under IS control, and his forces were working to avoid any harm to civilians. The roads in Manbij link the IS stronghold of Raqqa to some parts of the Turkish border and other areas under its control in Aleppo province. The routes have become key to the group's ability to move fighters, weapons and supplies in and out of Syria. Neighbouring Aleppo, meanwhile, is currently the site of a major battle as rebel groups try to break a government siege.

A US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters has seized most of a key Syrian city from so-called Islamic State (IS), activists and commanders say.

Summarize the following article: James Fenton's body was discovered on Ulster Hospital 10 weeks after he went missing from the facility. The 22-year-old had agreed to be admitted in July 2010, but then climbed over the wall of a smoking area. The most senior officer on duty when he went missing gave evidence to an inquest into his death on Tuesday. The retired inspector told the court she had failed to grasp the seriousness of the report of his disappearance. She agreed there was no effective police action taken in the case between 02:00 BST and 08:00 BST on the night he was reported missing. She explained that during the night she had gone to Newcastle to oversee the search for a missing child at high risk, and later dealt with a shooting incident and public disorder in the town. The coroner said: "It's a shame you didn't go to the Ulster Hospital." Two police officers on duty that night also gave evidence. One said he and a colleague were initially instructed to search the grounds of nearby Tor Bank school, where Mr Fenton was believed to have been seen. A search there lasted 20 to 30 minutes and used small handheld torches. The information placing Mr Fenton there is now known to have been wrong. But the court heard the school was searched three times, because the earlier information had not been corrected. The officer said he wished he had been instructed to search the wooded area where Mr Fenton was found more than two months later. He told the court: "I wish I had searched that area. It's a matter of regret to me that I didn't." He told the court he believed police could have searched that area that night, had they been directed towards it. He said he was never told the source of the information about the school, which was supplied to his police radio controllers. He explained that initial searches at the school and the hospital grounds near the ward meant police did not consult hospital staff about James and his potential whereabouts during the first hour of their search. The two officers later conducted searches of the road towards Bangor and the roads in the hospital grounds by patrol car. Giving evidence later, the second police constable said he and his colleague had both felt the mention of Tor Bank school made it the wisest place to start their search. He said: "Nothing would have given us greater pleasure than to have located Mr Fenton that evening." The coroner said the search in the dark was like looking for "a needle in a haystack". But, he added: "The needle in the haystack is easier to find if you ask the right questions." He asked why the officers had not requested help for a wider search. The officers suggested that would have been unusual, and not a decision they were authorised to make. A larger number of officers searched the hospital area later in daylight, but found nothing. The second officer explained how he spoke to hospital staff and was told that Mr Fenton was carrying only cigarettes and a lighter, but no money or a mobile phone. Asked why he did not spend longer with staff, he said they had stated they were busy on the ward, and pointed out that the presence of police officers there often made psychiatric patients anxious and upset. He agreed he had not examined the smoking area, which would have been possible without entering the ward itself; nor had the officers asked to look at CCTV footage. The Fenton family has always maintained the initial search was inadequate. In 2013, the Police Ombudsman issued a critical report into the wider search for Mr Fenton and 12 PSNI officers were later disciplined. Coroner Joe McCriskin made it clear to the court that the two constables giving evidence today were not among those disciplined by the Police Ombudsman.

A catalogue of errors was made in the search for a man who died after going missing from a mental health unit, a retired inspector has said.

Summarize the following article: The Mountaineering Council of Scotland has shared a YouTube clip of a hillwalker describing rubbish left in a remote location as "absolute filth". And one of two volunteers who looks after Corrour Bothy in the Lairig Ghru has told of taking four hours to sort through and burn waste left there. Neil Reid said hillwalkers have to be willing to pick up litter they find. In the YouTube clip the hillwalker shows a plastic bag of half empty yoghurt pots and other food waste he found in a "very remote spot in the Cairngorms". The Mountaineering Council of Scotland has shared the clip on Twitter. In a blog on UKHillwalking.com, Mr Reid said it was not good enough to "tut" at the recklessness of others and said people should be prepared to collect rubbish they find and take it off the hills. But he added that setting up some form of "bothy vigilante patrol" as suggested by one of the blog's followers was not an answer. Both the YouTube clip and blog feature strong language, with both the hillwalker and Mr Reid expressing frustration about the waste being left in the Cairngorms. Mr Reid signed off his blog saying: "It's not enough just not leaving your own rubbish; let's make it socially unacceptable for others to leave rubbish too. "And if they go ahead and leave it anyway? Then just pick it up. "Whether the real culprit is there or not. Pick it up and become part of the answer, or turn a blind eye and be part of the problem. It's that simple." Littering has been a problem in Scotland's hills, and other upland areas of the UK. Last month, a catheter bag was among items of rubbish found by volunteers doing litter-picks on the slopes of Britain's highest mountains. A total of 88 people were involved in the clean up of Ben Nevis in Scotland, Snowdon in Wales and England's Scafell Pike. More than 24 stone (153kg) of litter was collected from Ben Nevis alone. In August, conservationists said they hoped a problem with human waste being left on the summit of the UK's second highest mountain had gone away. RSPB Scotland and National Trust for Scotland raised concerns in October last year that the faeces on Ben Macdui posed a potential health risk. The RSPB said there had been no incidents of irresponsible toileting detected since last year. The two charities own the 4,295ft (1,309m) mountain.

Separate incidents of littering in the Cairngorms have prompted angry responses on social media.

Summarize the following article: Media playback is not supported on this device Yet Hamilton's Kirsty Gilmour has packed so much into her badminton career already, she could be forgiven for poring over the past. There have been 11 Scottish titles, numerous wins worldwide in International Challenge and Grand Prix events, representing Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi and Glasgow - winning silver in the latter - and donning British colours at the Rio Olympics in 2016, followed soon after by a career-high world ranking of 14. It's an impressive CV for one so young, but Gilmour's sole focus is on what's to come - top-level tournaments in a hectic summer. She has a bounce in her step again after an impressive return from knee surgery last October. Last weekend, she picked up a silver medal at the European Championships in Kolding, Denmark. A 21-14 21-12 defeat by her Spanish rival Carolina Marin in the final for the second year running followed tournament wins at the Austrian Open and the Orleans International. Before that, in February, she marked her comeback by winning the singles and mixed doubles, with Patrick MacHugh, at the Scottish finals in Perth, having completed her rehabilitation with the utmost attention to detail. "I did not miss a session," she points out. "I am satisfied with how the Europeans went because it was one of the tournaments I wanted to peak for this year," Gilmour tells BBC Scotland. "Knowing how I felt after the final last year, when I also got silver, I wanted that gold even more. "It was always going to be a tough task. Carolina Marin is the Olympic champion, a two-time world champion, All England champion and now three-time European champion. Playing against her can be a hellish ordeal for anyone. "However, I felt it was a better performance from me. I like to think I stood up and gave her a good fight." Gilmour feels her knee is "just about perfect" after the operation to repair a torn meniscus and, with her Malayasian coach Tat Meng Wong tweaking her playing style, she is approaching her profession with renewed enthusiasm. "I feel really confident about how it is going," says Gilmour, currently ranked 44th in the world. "Having had that little taste again at the Europeans, I have a real plan and I'm excited about what's to come later in the season. I don't have anything lower than a Grand Prix-level tournament so it will be against these top players. "There's a good opportunity for me to gain a lot of points because of the level of tournament that I'm playing." Gilmour is especially looking forward to playing in the Sudirman Cup in Australia's Gold Coast later this month, partly because it is being held in the same hall as the Commonwealth Games competition next year, but also since it gives her a rare opportunity to be part of a team. "It's the World Mixed Team Championships. I love a team event!" she exclaims. "If I don't lose my voice shouting for the team I've not done my job properly. I get so few opportunities to compete as part of a team, being a singles player. "Being alone on the court, coming off and people saying 'well done', it feels good, but when that game you've won goes towards the team it's such a nice feeling for me." England are not entering the Sudirman Cup this year, pointing to a funding cut by UK Sport in February. That funding decision stung Gilmour and she has spent a lot of time and effort trying to attract a commercial sponsor to supplement her income from Badminton Scotland in order to meet the cost of flights, hotels and food while competing around the world. Her efforts, with a friend, to make a promo video to appeal to sponsors has in part paid off, and she will soon become a brand ambassador for a company in the building trade. Her schedule in the coming weeks suggests she will need a financial backer. After the Gold Coast, it's home for three weeks, then Indonesia, Australia again, back home for a spell and then Canada and the United States before the World Championships come to Glasgow in August. "There's a lot to do before the World Championships but I'm excited to be back playing these top tournaments," she says. "I didn't take it for granted before but I am actively excited now. It's such a nice feeling to have that to look forward to now."

It's natural, surely, for someone aged 23 to be looking to the future.

Summarize the following article: At least 10 children and teenagers were among those killed by a driver who slammed a lorry through a crowd gathered on the Promenade des Anglais, in the southern French city. Bastille Day is a national holiday in France, marking the start of the French Revolution, and it is when families gather to watch big fireworks displays. The identity of the victim in the picture is not known, but the image, taken by Reuters photographer Eric Gaillard, has been widely shared on social media. Italy's Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, one of the many foreign leaders to express solidarity, said: "We are used to seeing postcards from Nice full of beauty, not images of death with a doll near a destroyed stroller. Reacting is a moral duty." Some 30,000 people were thought to have been attending the celebrations along the promenade, a seafront boulevard lined with palm trees and wide walking areas. This illustration by Brazilian cartoonist Carlos Latuff, based on the picture, has also been shared hundreds of times on Twitter. Some have likened the image to that of Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy who died on a Turkish beach, face down in the sand. It became a symbol of the refugee crisis, last year. Unlike other recent attacks, many of the victims in Nice are children and teenagers. A local hospital said dozens of them have been treated. Other pictures have also shown broken toys, slippers and objects that were left behind. "As the lorry passed by me a young boy of 10 or so just managed to leap to one side and escape by inches. "Tragically dozens of those on foot, young and old alike, were not so lucky," Simon Coates, a solicitor from Leeds told the BBC. "Virtually everyone I saw on the promenade was either dead or beyond real help with truly terrible injuries." France's government has offered psychological counselling to the young and their relatives, and some of them have shared their experiences. A journalist from the French newspaper Le Monde told the story of eight-year-old Aya, who returned to the beach front to wait for a missing friend after the attack. Their two families were to meet in the evening for the fireworks, she says, but the friend did not come. So Aya came back to their meeting point in the daytime, hoping to see her friend again, the journalist added. But her friend did not arrive.

It is a picture that for many came to symbolise the devastation of the attack in Nice: a doll lying on the street next to a covered body.

Summarize the following article: But for those of you who find them a bit creepy - it's best to stay away from Helsinki in March because that's when the Finnish National Ballet is putting on the show. This is the first time Tove Jansson's characters have been made into a dance. "Although the body of the Moomins isn't the most flexible," the website promises they will feature in the show. Other characters will "take care of the classical ballet part" in the production, which will tell the story of Comet Moominland. "When everything is not well in the Moominvalley, Moomintroll and his friends heads to the Observatory on the Lonely Mountains," explains the show's synopsis. "In the Observatory they are told that the comet will hit the Earth within a few days. Will the Moominvalley survive?" If you can make your way to Finland, adult tickets will set you back 42 euros (£32.50) each. The show is said to be suitable for children over the age of four - but even if you're a bit older than that and still find the Moomins a little scary, you might also want an adult to accompany you.

If you think they're super cute, then you'd better start booking your ticket to the Moomin ballet now.

Summarize the following article: How did Hong Kong get to this point? The Basic Law has been the mini constitution of Hong Kong since it was handed back to China in 1997. It enshrines the "one country, two systems" principle, and has been considered a promise from Beijing to the people of Hong Kong that they would be allowed to keep their way of life for the following 50 years. Under Basic Law, Hong Kong handles most of its affairs internally, while Beijing is responsible for defence and foreign affairs. However, the law also stipulates that the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) - China's rubber-stamp parliament - holds the ultimate "power of interpretation" of the law. Article 104 states that all elected Hong Kong officials and judges need to "swear to uphold" the Basic Law and "swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China". But two recently elected pro-independence lawmakers have repeatedly refused to say the oath properly. Sixtus Leung and Yau Wai-ching shouted a derogatory term for China and showed a "Hong Kong is not China" flag during their oath-taking ceremony, causing chaos in the Legislative Council. Article 104 does not mention any consequences if officials fail to be sworn in properly, nor whether they would be able to retake the oath, so the outcome of their provocative stance was unclear. Before waiting for the results of a judicial review within Hong Kong, Beijing intervened to issue its own interpretation of the law. The NPCSC ruled that officials must "accurately, completely and solemnly" read out the portion of the oath that swears allegiance to Beijing. It also states that officials will bear legal responsibilities if they later commit any doings that "defy the oath" - another term that is not included in Article 104. This means Leung and Yau cannot take their seats despite being elected. But critics say what Beijing has done is effectively change the law, rather than just clarify how it should be enacted. They argue that, in theory, the Chinese government will now be able to stop any democratically elected lawmakers it doesn't like from taking office. On top of that, the judicial review is still in process, some believe Beijing has undermined the city's judicial independence, and there are fears it could go on to change other articles of the Basic Law. China says the move was "absolutely necessary", and "complies with the common aspiration of the entire Chinese people" including those in Hong Kong. This is the furthest reach of Beijing into Hong Kong politics since the handover, but it is the fifth time it has acted to interpret the Basic Law. Reporting by the BBC's Grace Tsoi

The Chinese government has made an unprecedented intervention in Hong Kong politics, issuing a ruling that effectively means two elected lawmakers will not be allowed to take their seats.

Summarize the following article: Ciaran Thomas Morris was arrested after the incident in the village of Cynwyd, near Corwen. He admitted possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and affray via video link at Mold Crown Court. Armed police and negotiators were deployed during the incident in March. Morris was remanded in custody for sentencing on 5 May. At the hearing on Friday, he pleaded guilty to possessing an air pistol with intent to cause fear of violence to a police officer and affray between 24 and 27 March. Defending Morris, Simon Mills stressed that the air pistol was not a prohibited weapon which required a licence. Prosecutor Emmalyne Downing said that the prosecution was not proceeding with charges of threatening to kill a police officer and damaging a police car. Judge Philip Hughes warned Morris to expect a custodial sentence.

A 22-year-old man who was involved in an 11-hour armed standoff in a Denbighshire village has been warned he could be jailed.

Summarize the following article: Media playback is not supported on this device Rosberg, who was 0.188 seconds faster than his Mercedes partner, has converted none of the previous three into a victory, beaten every time by Hamilton. The Englishman was crowned world champion for the third time after beating Rosberg in the US GP last weekend. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel heads the second row from Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat. The Russian's team-mate Daniel Ricciardo was fifth, ahead of the Williams of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa, Max Verstappen's Toro Rosso and Mexican Force India driver Sergio Perez, whose every move was cheered by the packed grandstands around the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Although the championship was decided in Austin, Texas, last Sunday, both Mercedes drivers arrived in Mexico City determined to win for their own reasons. Hamilton wanted to underline his superiority this season, in which he won 10 of the 16 races, and Rosberg to show he was not a beaten man and that his team-mate still faced a fight both this season and next. Hamilton appeared to have the edge when he was third fastest in the first session, less than 0.4secs slower than Rosberg despite using only the slower 'medium' tyres, and then set the pace in the second. But on their first runs in the decisive top 10 shoot-out Rosberg was the man with the edge. And as so often in this private Mercedes battle, the first runs were the decisive ones - neither improved on their second runs in the dying seconds of the session. Hamilton has now not scored a pole position since the Italian Grand Prix back in early September. But he may well not be overly concerned. He has beaten Rosberg in the last three races, despite being out-qualified in each. Rosberg suffered car problems in Russia when leading, but was well beaten in both Japan and the US as Hamilton put the seal on the title and secured his lifetime's ambition. Media playback is not supported on this device The practice sessions had suggested that Mercedes may face more of a challenge in Mexico, where the high altitude of 2,285 metres (7,500 feet) means the cars' aerodynamics work less effectively and the engines are under more stress than at circuits with a lower elevation because of the thinner air. Mercedes' lead over their rivals in the practice sessions had been much less than at recent races, but in the end they had a comfortable advantage. Rosberg was nearly 0.4secs quicker than Vettel and the Red Bulls were nearly a second behind. Media playback is not supported on this device Rosberg said: "I felt good all weekend, have been quick in all sessions and found a good balance. I felt good and was able to get a good lap in." Hamilton said: "This weekend Nico has been quick and I have been chipping away at it. There have been some areas where the car could be better and also my driving. "There is quite a big difference between our set-ups this weekend. Perhaps the way we went was not the best for qualifying but it should be good for the race." Meanwhile, it was another difficult day for McLaren, where Jenson Button did not even take part in qualifying because of recurring engine problems. It did not make any difference because the 2009 world champion was due to start from the back anyway because of a series of penalties for using too many engine parts. Team-mate Fernando Alonso, who also has engine penalties - although fewer than Button - could manage only 16th place and will also drop to the back, starting 19th ahead of his team-mate. Vettel's Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen qualified 15th following a problem with his brakes and has been hit by a five-place grid penalty for changing his gearbox.

Nico Rosberg secured pole position at the Mexican Grand Prix, beating team-mate Lewis Hamilton in qualifying for the fourth consecutive race.

Summarize the following article: After the first leg of their play-off finished goalless, Fraser Mullen, for Beath, and Kieran Gibbons, for Kilby, netted in normal time. With no further score after 30 more minutes of play, the hosts scored all five of their spot-kicks. Liam Henderson struck the decisive penalty, keeping Gary Locke's side in Scottish League Two. The home side came flying out of the traps and duly took the lead after just three minutes. There was excellent build-up play down the left involving Robbie Buchannan and Dale Carrick, before Henderson laid the ball off for Mullen. The former Hearts and Hibernian defender drilled a low shot beyond Matthew McGinley in the visiting goal to break the deadlock. The Blue Brazil keep their foot on the gas, and only a magnificent stop by McGinley denied Carrick from doubling the lead. The striker also crashed a header off the crossbar before Kris Renton's deflected volley flew inches wide. East Kilbride slowly eased their way into the game and Joao Victoria, then Sean Winter, came close to a leveller. The Lowland League champions began the second half on the front foot and had claims for a penalty turned down by referee Craig Charleston after the ball appeared to strike the arm of David Syme. The Lanarkshire side's pressure did pay off, though, when the home defence failed to clear their lines, allowing Gibbons to drill the ball along the slippery surface from 25 yards out and find the bottom corner. Neither side were able to strike a knockout blow before normal time expired, and the game East Kilbride's Adam Strachan fired in a deflected 20-yard effort that struck the crossbar on its way over. Both teams looked weary as the rain-soaked pitch began to take its toll. but Cowdenbeath almost snatched a late winner through Craig Johnston, whose effort was tipped over by McGinley. With Mullen, Johnston, Renton and Syme netting spot-kicks for Cowdenbeath, and Strachan, Russell McLean and Victoria replying, it was Jamie Sneddon's save from Paul Woods that proved crucial. The stop gave Henderson the opportunity to seal victory for the Blue Brazil, and the defender duly converted his penalty, preserving Cowden's SPFL status, and consigning East Kilbride to another season of junior football. Cowdenbeath manager Gary Locke: "I don't think it's really anything to celebrate. The chairman is a flamboyant character, and when I came to the club, he said, we're in the play-offs, just win them for us. "Credit to the players, they've battled really hard over the two games. East Kilbride were fantastic, I certainly feel if they came up they'd be top-four or top-five team in this league. "So it was a really difficult two games, it gets to be a bit of a lottery when it goes to penalties, but I'm delighted the club's kept their place in the league, because the consequences of going down would've been pretty tough, I'd have thought." East Kilbride manager Martin Lauchlan: "It's devastating - we put so much into the game. We lost a goal early - the worst possible start we could've had - but after that we looked the better team and the more likely to score. "I think our fitness levels looked terrific. It's so difficult to get to this point, with so many play-off games, and to get here and lose it is tough. "I think they showed in the game they're well capable of playing at this level, but we're bitterly disappointed." Match ends, Cowdenbeath 1(5), East Kilbride 1(3).

Summarize the following article: The admissions service, Ucas, has released data five days after A-level results, showing more than 463,000 places have been confirmed. This is a 3% increase on the same point last year - with a 4% increase among women and 2% increase among men. So far this year, 57,000 more women than men have gained university places. These updated figures show the level of university admissions, including almost 35,000 students allocated places through the clearing process, up 6% on the same point last year. In addition to those who have accepted places, a further 63,000 are holding offers. There are another 144,000 applicants who have still to get a place. The trend is heading towards a record number of students beginning full-time undergraduate courses this autumn. The admissions figures also show the gender gap will be wider than ever. Among UK 18-year-olds, 25.1% of men and 34% of women have taken university places. Compared with this point four years ago, there are almost 6,000 more male students taking up places. But among female students, the number has risen by more than 13,000. Within the current total of more than 463,000 accepted places, less than a quarter will be for 18-year-old UK men. As well as 18-year-old women, the remainder of places will be filled by those going after gap years, mature students and international students. Within the UK, Northern Ireland has the highest levels of 18-year-olds going to university - and women in Northern Ireland are the group most likely to get a place. Among that age group, 36.9% of women in Northern Ireland have gained university places. This compares with 22% of 18-year-old men in Wales who have so far been accepted.

The number of women gaining places at university is rising twice as quickly as that for men, the latest figures show.

Summarize the following article: Claudia Lawrence disappeared on her way to work in York in March 2009. Officers believe the chef, who was 35 when she went missing, was murdered. Nine individuals have been arrested or interviewed in connection with the case since the review began in 2013, but no charges have been brought. North Yorkshire Police said the case remained open. Read more about this and other stories from across York The force said one line of inquiry relating to a DNA profile would take a further six weeks, after which the active investigation would cease. Miss Lawrence's family has been informed the review had reached its conclusion, the force said. Assistant Chief Constable Paul Kennedy said: "It is not for the want of trying that a breakthrough has not yet come, but rather the result of the continuing refusal of those who know what happened to Claudia to come forward and tell us the truth." Mr Kennedy said new lines of inquiry in what was an "extremely challenging and complex case" had been pursued with "vigour and determination". "The case will not be closed until those responsible for Claudia's disappearance and, we believe, her murder, are brought to justice. "While the current review team will and has been scaled down, the new Cleveland and North Yorkshire cold case dedicated team will still have responsibility to review any information that is considered relevant," he added. Martin Dales, who speaks for Miss Lawrence's father Peter, said it was a "depressing day" but the family were grateful for the police's "extremely hard work". He added: "Someone out there knows what is going on or what was going on and is yet to produce that information. "Somebody knows something and it is about time that everyone was put out of their misery to find out what has actually happened." The last contact anyone had with Miss Lawrence, who worked at the University of York, was when she spoke to her mother by phone on the 18 March 2009. She failed to attend work the following day and was later reported missing. Det Supt Dai Malyn, who led the review, said: "I acknowledge how sad Claudia's parents and sister feel that we have been unable to give them the answers they want, and everyone in the team shares their frustration. "We have worked tirelessly for three years and we are sorry that we have not been able to prove what happened to Claudia, or to find her." Claudia Lawrence timeline

A £1m review into the case of a missing woman is to be "scaled-down" from February, police have said.

Summarize the following article: United are unbeaten in six games and boss McKinnon has urged his players to take confidence from that run. The Tannadice outfit, who finished 14 points behind Championship winners Hibs, are looking to make an immediate return to the Scottish Premiership. "Leading into these play-offs, we are the form side," McKinnon said. United finished third in the second tier, with their final game of the regular season a 1-1 draw away to Morton on Saturday. "We should have won the last six games, we have created enough chances to win the six games, which is a real positive for us," McKinnon added. "We did the same on Saturday. We have hit the woodwork five or six times. "So it's important to make sure we realise we are in good form. We haven't had the just rewards in these six games but we go into the games in the right frame of mind." McKinnon's Raith Rovers side lost 2-1 on aggregate to Hibernian in the play-off quarter finals last season. And he has warned his players they need to perform at their highest standard to progress to face Championship runners-up Falkirk in the semi-final. "If we're at our best then we'll be difficult to beat," McKinnon said. "So that's the focus going into these games, just making sure we are at our best. "We went down there on Saturday and played extremely well and we need to do the same again. "They need to show discipline as well. It's not win or bust, it's about making sure you are in control of your game and in control of your emotions. We have had a chat about that and the players totally grasp that."

Ray McKinnon has told his Dundee United players "there is nothing to fear" ahead of their promotion play-off quarter-final first leg at Morton.

Summarize the following article: The thoroughbred lock, who is leaving at the end of the season, was the star of the show as full-back Glenn Bryce, also departing, touched down twice. Duncan Weir, another who is moving on, converted all 10 scores, the last of which he dotted down. Greg Peterson scored his first Glasgow try, with Adam Ashe, Taqele Naiyaravoro and Ali Price also going over. With a weakened Connacht going down to a stunning loss in Treviso, the defending champions go to Galway for the final league phase next weekend needing only a draw to secure a valuable home semi-final. Leinster can regain top spot if they prevail in Saturday's visit to fourth-placed Ulster. Warriors equalled a club record of nine consecutive victories in a turkey shoot at Scotstoun to make the play-offs for the fifth year running. The hosts started with only a handful of their frontline team but they did the job with a consummate ease against an Italian side who ran out of heart painfully early. Their defence, for much of the night, was embarrassing bordering on disgraceful. Glasgow are a team that will punish weak-willed opponents to the maximum and they started the deconstruction when Nakarawa skipped through two defenders after quarter of an hour. Kayl van Zyl responded for Zebre but that was just a prelude to serious pain for the visitors. Ashe got Glasgow's second - credit to the broken-field running of the excellent Jerry Yanuyanutawa - then Bryce scored the third after a clever switch by Grayson Hart that bamboozled a comatose Zebre defence. Naiyaravoro - like so many others in his last weeks as a Glasgow player - got the bonus point try after running over the top of Van Zyl. Thirty-four minutes of this rout had been played and Glasgow didn't let up. The fifth try was a beauty and had at its heart some sensational offloading from the great Nakarawa. Bryce finished it off and Weir carried on with his metronomic converting. Tommaso Boni, the Zebre centre, stopped the bleeding just before the break but it was 35-10 at half-time and the certainty was that it was only going to get worse for the Italians thereafter. Nakarawa got his second when Zebre tried a suicidal exit strategy from their 22 and then completed his hat-trick soon after. Glasgow were ruthless, roared on by a sell-out home crowd. Seven tries on the board? They wanted more. Peterson made it eight, from a Nakarawa assist, then Price ran a great distance for the ninth before Mark Bennett ran through another gaping hole. Bennett could have scored under the posts but instead flung the ball to his mate, Weir, for the touchdown. Weir tapped it down, banged over his 10th conversion from 10 attempts then left the field to a huge roar of approval. When Nakarawa was withdrawn the crowd got even louder. Zebre were beyond shocking, a shambles of a team, but Glasgow's momentum is huge now. Their hunger for victory, and silverware, looks as big as it was at this time last year when they became champions. At the end, club captain, Jonny Gray took the microphone to thank the departing Warriors. They've a bit of rugby to play before they go, though. Next stop Galway - and a battle to savour. Glasgow Warriors: Glenn Bryce, Taqele Naiyaravoro, Mark Bennett, Alex Dunbar, Sean Lamont, Duncan Weir, Grayson Hart, Jerry Yanuyanutawa, Pat MacArthur, D'arcy Rae, Greg Peterson, Leone Nakarawa, Rob Harley (capt), Favaro, Ashe. Replacements: Fraser Brown, Gordon Reid, Zander Fagerson, Tim Swinson, Ryan Wilson, Ali Price, Finn Russell, Tommy Seymour. Zebre: Ulrich Beyers, Giulio Toniolatti, Tommaso Boni, Gonzalo Garcia, Kayle van Zyl, Carlo Canna, Luke Burgess, Andrea De Marchi, Oliviero Fabiani, Dario Chistolini, Quintin Geldenhuys (capt), Marco Bortolami, Emiliano Caffini, Filippo Cristiano, Federico Ruzza. Replacements: Bruno Postiglioni, Emiliano Coria, Pietro Ceccarelli, Gideon Koegelenberg, Andries Van Schalkwyk, Guglielmo Palazzani, Giulio Bisegni, Kelly Haimona

Leone Nakarawa grabbed a hat-trick as Glasgow ran in 10 tries to demolish Zebre and move top of the Pro12.

Summarize the following article: The NHS dentist in Adpar, near Newcastle Emlyn, Ceredigion, retired in February and an interim replacement service was set up in Cardigan. Hywel Dda Health Board says the interim service has since been withdrawn due to "recruitment issues". Many areas of Wales have suffered from a dentist shortage, with hundreds queueing for hours to register. Carmarthen East & Dinefwr MP Jonathan Edwards called for a "permanent solution". In March, the Patients Association said "innovative" NHS management had helped improve the situation for many. The charity noted the Hywel Dda Local Health Board had seen 40,000 extra patients register with an NHS dentist since 2006. The health board has now said the interim NHS dental service begun in April at the Integrated Dental Holdings practice in Cardigan had been withdrawn. It said it was working to reinstate dental services as close to Adpar as possible since the previous practitioner retired and closed the practice. It added that no-one should be in dental pain as additional practice sessions had been put on in Cardigan and Whitland while a permanent replacement was sought. Mr Edwards said his predecessor as MP, Adam Price, as well as local AM Rhodri Glyn Thomas, had been campaigning on the issue. He said: "We just need some clarity. The situation arose because the dental practitioner in that part retired. "There were interim arrangements but they seem to have fallen by the wayside. "You are talking about a pretty large catchment area and the authorities need to provide some detail about what's going to happen from here on in. "We expect a permanent solution for the communities of the Teifi valley." Hywel Dda Health Board said in a statement: "Unfortunately, we regret that despite great efforts, Integrated Dental Holdings has been unable to recruit an additional dentist to provide the temporary service for former Adpar patients. "The health board has been working extremely hard to put in place alternative arrangements, whilst a long-term solution is put in place. There is no need for any patient to be in dental pain, as urgent care will be provided. "Patients have been advised that the health board has bolstered emergency access sessions each day at Feidr Fair Practice, in Cardigan, and Hendy Gwyn in Whitland. " The health board said there was also capacity in some Carmarthen dental practices for those patients who live closer to the town and were willing to travel. Any patients who need urgent dental care are asked to contact NHS Direct Wales on 0845 6010128, where they will be triaged by a dental nurse.

A health board says it has been unable to find a dentist to provide NHS treatment for around 4,000 people.

Summarize the following article: The wave design artwork was part of a £720,000 scheme to create a plaza outside the station. A new statue of the Jolly Fisherman, the resort's mascot, is also being installed. The sculpture was cordoned off in February 2012 after the accident. Lincolnshire County Council now plans to install metal studs on the artwork to deter people from using it as a "playground". But John Byford, from East Lindsey District Council, questioned why it had taken so long for the work to be done. He said: "Tens of thousands of people still arrived by train to Skegness and that first impression counts. "We have to have it right for them and it's not been right for nearly two years." Colin Davie, from Lincolnshire County Council, conceded: "Quite honestly it's health and safety gone mad - this should have been sorted out a long time ago - but I'm pleased we've now got a solution." The county has apologised for the delay and is coinciding the work with the installation of a new version of the Jolly Fisherman. The mascot first appeared on a 1908 railway poster advertising the Lincolnshire coastal resort.

A sculpture outside Skegness rail station is to reopen to the public 21 months after it was closed when a boy on a bike was injured trying to ride over it.

Summarize the following article: Warren Hill in Hollesley spent about £9.50 per prisoner to celebrate Christmas in 2011, compared with an average of about £1.58 at 12 other jails, a Freedom of Information request by the BBC revealed. Dean Acaster from the POA, formerly known as the Prison Officers' Association, questioned whether it was a good use of money while the prison service faced budget cuts and staff reductions to "dangerously low levels". The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said any expenditure came from existing budgets. The figures were revealed by the MoJ after it responded to the Freedom of Information (FOI) request into 18 prisons in Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire. The FOI document states Warren Hill, a young offenders institute that caters for 15 to 18-year-olds, spent £544.80 on Christmas decorations, including trees, for the chapel and residential wings of the prison last year. The prison previously spent £336.48 and £70.49 on decorations in 2009 and 2010. The cost of additional phone credit for prisoners during Christmas rose from £230 to £585 between 2010 and 2011 - the equivalent of £5 spent on each young person compared with £2 the previous year. Source: Ministry of Justice Christmas stationery cost for the chaplaincy, which included producing posters and paper folders for religious services, also increased from £35.50 in 2009 to £105.55 in 2011. Mr Acaster from the POA said Warren Hill's Christmas expenditure "flies in the face of any degree of punishment issued". "We should not be paying extra money to make prisoners feel more comfortable," he said. "The question needs to be asked, when faced with budget cuts, is it a good use of money? "Prison staff are being cut to dangerously low levels and we're seeing a slashing back of [prison] regimes. "I don't know if victims of the crimes would be happy - children or not they're still classed as criminals." An MoJ spokesperson said: "HMYOI Warren Hill used its existing prison budget to provide Christmas decorations, phone credit and religious and faith services. "Each young offender received a £5 PIN phone credit to enable family contact to be maintained through the Christmas period." Therese Coffey, MP for Suffolk Coastal, said: "We should remember that the prisoners in Warren Hill are still children. "Yes, they are children who have committed serious offences, some of which are very serious indeed. "I think it is right that each governor chooses how to use its budget according to the best running of their individual prison. "I recently revisited the prison to see a new rugby scheme and met the governor who has been in place quite a short time. "From what I observed, I was impressed by her professionalism and determination to keep good order and encourage these young people not to reoffend."

A Suffolk young offenders institute has been condemned for spending about six times as much money last year on Christmas as other prisons in the east of England.

Summarize the following article: Despite the US and 11 other nations signing up to the deal - covering 40% of the world economy - the President-elect had been clear on the election campaign trail that he was against it. But even though Asian leaders have had time to prepare for this news, that's not to say Mr Trump's decision won't sting. And it may have lasting economic and political repercussions. Earlier this year, Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, speaking at the White House, warned what may happen to the US should it decide to pull out of the agreement. "If, at the end, waiting at the altar, the bride doesn't arrive, I think there are people who are going to be very hurt, not just emotionally but really damaged for a long time to come," he said. So let's take a look at who stands to lose in Asia from TPP's demise: Singapore: Singapore was one of the co-founders of the TPP's predecessor, and was a big backer of the deal in the region. The small island state relies on trade for its economy to grow. It's also home to one of the biggest ports in the region. It was hoping to benefit from an increase in services such as shipping and trade financing that it was expecting to follow from more regional and global trade. Vietnam: According to this study by the Petersen Institute, Vietnam was expected to benefit the most from the TPP because it is still a relatively closed economy. This trade deal would have given it tariff free access for its rice, seafood, textiles and low-end manufactured goods. Some estimates say Vietnam could have seen a 10% boost to its economy by 2025 under the TPP. Malaysia: According to that same Petersen study, Malaysia could see its economy grow by 5.5% in the same period because of the pact, which was set to give it access to the US for its palm oil exports, but at the same time under the rules of the agreement it had to agree to higher international labour standards. The central premise of the US-backed TPP was: join our party, we'll all get rich together, and we'll all abide by international standards. Everybody wins. Except now that's no longer true - instead, the biggest winner is now the country who was never included in the TPP to begin with... China: As my colleague Carrie Gracie explains, China is well placed to step into the US's global footprint with both its regional trade deal alternative, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership deal, and it's massive and expensive One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, which aims to build roads, ports and highways through much of Asia. Other countries that have not joined the TPP (including Thailand, the Philippines and others who are close to China like Laos and Cambodia for instance, could also stand to gain from RCEP and OBOR.) This is typically the role the US has played in the past few decades in Asia, through US financial bodies and global institutions. Some analysts say China has been playing the "New Great Game" in Asia (a reference to the power rivalry we saw in the 19th century in Central Asia), grabbing any opportunity it can find to increase its influence in the region. Mr Trump may have just handed Beijing the chance it has been looking for.

No one should be surprised that Donald Trump plans to pull the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact before it has even begun.

Summarize the following article: People in Stanford near Folkestone have been sent letters telling them Asian tiger mosquito eggs had been discovered nearby. Public Health England said no further evidence of the insect had been detected. It said there was "currently no risk to public health in the UK". Jolyon Medlock, head of medical entomology at Public Health England (PHE), said: "We regularly monitor mosquito species and look for any which are new to the UK. "Enhanced monitoring of the area was implemented and no further evidence of this mosquito has so far been found. "As a precaution we advised the local authority to use insecticide as a means of control." PHE confirmed the spraying of insecticide had been fully completed at the site. The Zika infection has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains. Public Health England said it would continue to monitor the situation closely. Two years ago Public Health England set up traps at motorway service stations to monitor this species of mosquito over fears the insects could enter the UK on lorries from Europe. None was found.

The eggs of a mosquito capable of transmitting tropical diseases, including the Zika virus, have been found for the first time in the UK.

Summarize the following article: The remains of Catherine Burns, 29, will be returned to Clonoe, near Coalisland, County Tyrone, for reburial in the summer. A widow, she left her native shores in 1832 with her father-in-law and many others from Tyrone. All hoped for a better life in the land of free. However, within weeks of arriving, Catherine had disappeared - murdered while working for a US railroad. She was among 57 Irish labourers hired to build a section of railway between Philadelphia and Columbia, a worksite that would become known as Duffy's Cut. By the end of August 1832, all the workers were dead. Some perished due to a cholera outbreak, but most were murdered. There are a number of theories as to why they were killed, including prejudice against Irish Catholics or a fear that they would spread cholera. Many were buried in a mass grave and forgotten for more than a century. Catherine was buried nearby but the recent discovery of further fragments of her bones has lead to a move to have her remains returned home. Fr Benny Fee, of St Patrick's Church, Clonoe, will preside over her funeral Mass on 19 July following her repatriation. He said her story "touches our history with people leaving Ireland for America and their hopes and desires". "Not everyone found its streets were paved with gold." Emigration from Ireland began as early as 1603. However, the period of greatest emigration began about 1780 and reached its peak from 1845 to 1855, when it is thought between one and two million people left Ireland because of the potato famine. Fr Fee said: "There's a poignancy in it of this lovely girl who went to America hoping for a new home, a new life after her husband died, but in the words of the Christy Moore song about Duffy's Cut, she went 'into hell'. "She was one of the few females on the ship, that's how they were able to identify her. "She was apparently bound and died from a blow with a sharp instrument." Duffy's Cut and its story have been brought to light over the past 12 years by brothers Frank and William Watson, a Lutheran minister and a historian at Immaculata University. They have led a team trying to uncover what happened to those 57 workers who hail from such places as Donegal, Tyrone and Derry. Dr Frank Watson said they had used an old railroad file inherited from their grandfather to glean information. After the mass grave was found in 2009, they sought to have the site excavated, remains identified and the cause of the emigrants' deaths determined. "We have now recovered six bodies and reburied five in West Lauer Hill cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania in 2012, along with one in Ardara in Donegal in 2013 (John Ruddy)," he said. "All of those recovered to this date were murdered by blunt force trauma, and one was both axed and shot in the head. None of the murdered show defensive wounds, indicating that they may have been tied up prior to being murdered. "On July 19 my brother Bill, Earl, and I will be travelling to Clonoe, Tyrone, to bury remains of the woman that were uncovered at Duffy's Cut named Catherine Burns (born around 1803) ." In a further tragic twist to Catherine's story, no-one has been able to trace her family because they do not know her maiden name. Fr Fee is also unaware of any of her relatives living in the area. He said: "It is a cause for reflection that this lady is coming back to Tyrone. It will be a privilege to conduct the funeral. "I want to give her the dignity and value in death that she did not have in life."

A priest who will conduct the funeral service of a woman murdered in the US 183 years ago has said it brings into sharp focus the plight of Irish emigrants.

It is Team GB's third taekwondo medal in Rio after Jade Jones claimed gold and Lutalo Muhammad won silver. Cho, 27, lost 5-4 in an aggressive fight against Brazilian Maicon Siqueira in the men's +80kg. Cho beat Iran's Sajjad Mardani 4-3 in the quarter-finals but lost his next bout to a last-minute head kick from Azerbaijan's Radik Isaev. "I gave it my absolute everything but it's just disappointing not to come away with something from all the hard work me and my team have done together," Cho said. "One of us had to lose and unfortunately that was me." Find out how to get into taekwondo in our special guide. Walkden, meanwhile, beat London 2012 champion Milica Mandic of Serbia 5-0 but lost 4-1 to China's Zheng Shuyin in a golden-point round in the semi-finals. "I came here for gold but my coach said to me you have to go out there and fight for it," Walkden said. "It's still an Olympic medal. In Tokyo I'll be trying to go a little bit further and try to get gold. It's only four years away." Zheng went on to win her gold-medal bout 5-1 against Mexican Maria Espinoza while Isaev beat Abdoulrazak Issoufou 6-2. Issoufou's silver meant Niger became the 87th nation to win a medal in Rio, a new Games record. Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox.

Summarize the following article: The Welsh team arrived with hopes of a place in either the main competition's quarter-finals or the second-tier Amlin Challenge Cup last eight. But Taku Ngwenya's hat-trick and tries by Benoit Baby and Iain Balshaw ensured defeat for the visitors. Hooker Richard Hibbard scored the Opsreys' try in the second-half. Biarritz remained in the hunt for a place in the latter stages of either European competition, their fate resting on games later in the day. With number eight Imanol Harinordoquy and scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili directing their efforts, the hosts were able to control key parts of the opening period. The visitors had few answers when the two French stars were probing and orchestrating the home side's efforts. With Adam Jones anchoring their scrum, the Ospreys were able to largely dominate in that area. And for Wales coach Warren Gatland, there were no further injury worries to add to those surrounding fly-half Rhys Priestland and flanker Dan Lydiate from the previous day's European action. But that was of little consolation for being out-played in almost every other facet of play. Yachvili was instrumental in giving Ngwenya the time and space to score the opening try after five minutes, the number nine adding the conversion. Media playback is not supported on this device The Ospreys had opted to give Eli Walker a chance in the number 11 jersey and put Shane Williams on the bench. And there was a lesson for Walker to learn when he was caught out in defence by full-back Balshaw, who drew the defender before releasing Ngwenya for his second try in the opening 10 minutes. Yachvili again converted and almost conjured a try for Harinordoquy with a clever cross-kick only for Dan Biggar to get his foot to the ball in time. The home scrum-half added a penalty in the 25th minute and wing Williams entered the fray as full-back Barry Davies left it as half-time approached. There were more replacements for the visitors at half-time, but scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i lasted only five minutes before being sin-binned for a dangerous tackle. In his absence the hosts found enough space to send wing Benoit Baby over and Balshaw was next to the line, also before Fotuali'i returned. A rare line-out mix-up allowed Ospreys' replacement hooker Richard Hibbard to crash over from close range. But Ngwenya completed his hat-trick as he left number eight Jonathan Thomas in his wake, Yachvili again converting. Ospreys director of rugby Scott Johnson: "We knew it was going to be a hard day at the office because they started so well and us so poorly. "When you have got that sort of tidal wave coming at you, it's hard to stop." Biarritz captain Imanol Harinordoquy: "We played some of our best rugby of the season to win a European quarter-final. "We're happy with the result because we knew the Ospreys are a strong team. They beat us narrowly in Swansea but this made up for that defeat." Biarritz: Balshaw; Ngwenya, Gimenez, Traille, Baby; Peyrelongue, Yachvili; Barcella, Heguy, Marconnet, Thion, Carizza, Lauret, Guyot, Harinordoquy (capt). Replacements: Haylett-Petty for Balshaw (66), Bosch for Gimenez (9), Bolakoro for Traille (62), Faure for Baby (72), Guinazu for Barcella (60), Terrain for Heguy (52), Gomez Kodela for Marconnet (48), Taele-Pvihi for Carizza (62).

Summarize the following article: Richard Loach performed CPR on Phil Nunnerley, 69, who had a suspected heart attack on a bus after the match against Fiji at Twickenham last Friday. Mr Nunnerley launched a social media campaign to try to track his saviour down. He only knew he was wearing a Gloucester Rugby shirt. The men have now spoken. Dr Loach, a GP on the Isle of Wight who used to live in Gloucester, got in touch with Mr Nunnerley after reading about his story in a BBC News website article. He said: "Phil's a very lucky man. It was so great to see him looking so well on that short video [in the BBC story]. "I've spoken to him and he sounds so great. My wife and I were both involved and we were so chuffed to see him so well." Dr Loach said he and his wife realised Mr Nunnerley was ill while they were travelling on the bus. "We were just minding our own business and we heard someone say 'stop the bus'. "He didn't look very well. I had seen it before. We thought we'd better help out." Dr Loach said Mr Nunnerley, from West Harptree in North Somerset, had no pulse when they started carrying out mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest depressions. Four paramedics then continued to treat him when the bus got to the park and ride. "Normally the outcome is not usually so good. I'm sure anyone else would have done exactly the same," said Dr Loach. Mr Nunnerley said he is planning to meet soon to say thank you in person.

Summarize the following article: David Cottrell, 90, from Redland, was honoured for his part in saving the lives of more than 70 Norwegians on a sinking ship in June 1944. He was just 19 when the crew of HMS Swift ignored orders and rescued the men from the water, after their ship, the Svenner, was torpedoed. Mr Cottrell told BBC Points West: "It's a proud moment." He was an Able Seaman Gunner on HMS Swift, which narrowly missed being hit by the torpedoes before they were used to sink the nearby Norwegian destroyer Svenner, off Sword Beach, Normandy, on 6 June 1944. Mr Cottrell said the ship "broke in half and sank almost immediately. People were jumping over the sides." HMS Swift's captain John Gower disobeyed orders to leave the men and instead went to pick up survivors. Of 219 crew aboard the Svenner, 32 Norwegians and one Briton died. Mr Cottrell said in 2001 he met two of the Norwegians who had been on the Svenner and one of them told him and Captain Gower: "What you've done, myself, my children, my grandchildren owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid." Nigel Fletcher, Norwegian consul for the South West, said Mr Cottrell had been put forward for the Commemorative Medal after meeting a survivor of the Svenner at a memorial service to mark the 70th anniversary in Norway in 2014. "It's a great recognition and I think also it gives him time to reflect on his old shipmates and the other people who were with him on that day." Mr Cottrell's son Richard said he was very proud of his father: "It's one story among thousands and they are all remarkable."

A Bristol man has become the eighth Briton to be awarded a Norwegian medal for bravery during the D-Day Landings.

Summarize the following article: The women said Boko Haram fighters started pelting them when they refused to run away as the army came nearer. A group of nearly 300 women and children was brought out of the vast Sambisa forest to a government camp. The military says it has rescued more than 700 people in the past week in an offensive against the Islamist group. The women said several were killed in the stoning, but they did not know how many. The survivors said that when they were initially captured, the militants had killed men and older boys in front of their families before taking women and children into the forest. Some were forced into marriage. They said the Islamists never let them out of their sight - not even when they went to the toilet. "They didn't allow us to move an inch," one of the freed women, Asabe Umaru, told Reuters news agency. "We were kept in one place. We were under bondage." One woman described how they were fed just one meal a day. "We were fed only ground dry maize in the afternoons. It was not good for human consumption," Cecilia Abel told Reuters. This led to malnutrition, disease and death. "Every day, we witnessed the death of one of us and waited for our turn," Umaru, a 24-year-old mother of two, told Reuters. The women and children travelled for three days on pick-up trucks from the vast Sambisa forest where they were rescued, to the camp in the city of Yola. Through interviews, officials have determined that almost all those rescued are from Gumsuri, a village near the town of Chibok, the Associated Press news agency reports. It does not appear that any of those released are from the group of nearly 300 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram a year ago in a mass abduction that led to worldwide protests calling for the girls' release. Thousands have been killed in northern Nigeria since Boko Haram began its insurgency in 2009 to create an Islamic state. In February, Nigeria's military, backed by troops from neighbouring countries, launched a major offensive against the Islamist fighters, recapturing Boko Haram territory taken in the previous year.

Former hostages held by Boko Haram militants in northern Nigeria say some fellow captives were stoned to death as the army approached to rescue them.

Summarize the following article: On Tuesday, the Met Office issued a yellow warning for snow in Scotland but has upgraded it to an amber "be prepared" warning with up to 15cm of snow likely in some parts. In parts of northern England, East Anglia, north Wales and the Midlands, amber warnings for wind are in place. Forecasters have warned road, air and ferry services could be affected. Building damage is also possible as the storm, likened to a "weather bomb" by forecasters, unleashes its power on the country. In southern Scotland 10 to 15cm of snow is expected to fall between 02:00 GMT and 18:00 GMT on Thursday. On higher ground, snowfall could reach 20 to 30cm throughout the day across Falkirk, South Lanarkshire, East Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Edinburgh, Dumfries and Galloway and the Lothian region. Gusts will reach 50 to 60mph across north Wales, north-west England, the Midlands, Yorkshire and East Anglia. The strongest winds are expected to be "short-lived" and gone by the evening. Heavy rain is also likely throughout the day, with snow expected over high ground across north Wales, north-west England, the Midlands, Yorkshire and East Anglia. Forecasters say there is also a risk of flooding in Northern Ireland, and possibly at lower levels of northern England, and the far south of Scotland. However, the Environment Agency says it has not issued any flood warnings for the UK. More rain and wind is expected to continue through to the weekend and into next week but will not reach the same level as Storm Doris. Doris is the latest storm to be named by the Met Office, and follows Angus in November and December's Barbara and Conor. Monday was the warmest day of the year so far with Kew Gardens in west London recording temperatures of 18.3C.

Parts of the UK are set to face snow and winds of up to 80mph when Storm Doris arrives on Thursday.

Summarize the following article: Last week it was Julie Cooper's bill to provide cheap hospital parking for carers; this week the victim was Nick Thomas Symonds' Off Patent Drugs Bill. In both cases new MPs found themselves flummoxed by the the arcane rules which govern private members bills. And they're discovering the hard way that it is not enough to have a worthy cause - they need tactical streetsmarts and committed support from a good number of colleagues to get even mildly contentious legislation through. The key point about Friday sittings is that there is no time limit on MPs speeches. Once an Hon Member has the floor they can drone on forever, unless they run foul of the chair for deviation or repetition. It was this that allowed a group of hardline Tory backbenchers plus the Health Minister Alistair Burt to block Julie Cooper. They talked and talked and talked till the end of business arrived at 2.30pm - and because she did not have 100 MPs behind her, to force through a closure motion, end the debate and trigger a vote on the Second Reading of her Bill, it ran out of time, and (as we say on Today in Parliament) "now has little chance of becoming law". Today the game was played a little differently. Mr Thomas Symonds had mobilised considerable support, and might have been able to force a closure….. But his opponents were clever. They padded out the debate on Wendy Morton's utterly uncontentious NHS Charities Bill with rambling speeches inspired by the clauses about Great Ormond St Hospital's right to the royalties to Peter Pan. They droned on till about 1.10, and the tactical mistake was not to cut them off earlier. Mr Thomas Symonds had tried to take his Second Reading debate at a canter, but ran into an insurmountable obstacle in the form of Health Minister Alistair Burt, who provoked cries of anger when he indicated his intention to keep talking until the 2.30pm cut-off time. Then supporters tried to end his speech with a closure motion, which requires the support of 100 MPs. They might have had the numbers - the Chamber certainly became a little more full at that point - but it was never tested because the Chair (Deputy Speaker Natascha Engel) refused to allow the motion to be put. The Chair never explains its rulings, but the reason was that surely that there had just not been enough debate. The Second Reading of a full dress Bill needs a decent amount of debate, if it's contentious, as this one clearly was. So debate had to have run on for a couple of hours, at the very least. To have had enough debate, to make a closure possible, Mr Thomas Symonds supporters should have sought to end the previous debate well before Noon - and given the borderline relevance of much of the stuff about Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, etc, they might have found the Chair sympathetic. But that didn't happen and so it was always improbable that they would get their way…. Both Natascha Engel and more particularly Alistair Burt had a very rough final half hour as angry MPs vented their fury - but both acted within the rules. All this looks like, and indeed is, very arcane game-playing. But there are two points here. First, law-making, creating rules which everyone has to obey, should not be easy. There has to be a robust scrutiny mechanism between MPs' pet schemes for the progress of mankind and the Statute Book - and the elite cadre of Tory MPs who spend their Fridays in the Chamber talking out bills they don't like see themselves as protecting the public from bad law made in an emotional spasm. Others, of course, see the bills rather differently, but the awkward squad know the game very well. Some MPs talk to them in advance to convince them or reach a compromise, and a few can mobilise colleagues to try and over-ride them. But the second point is that the current rules must look very strange to people outside. And maybe a better system would be one which brought every bill to a vote - so that those who wanted to kill them had to do so in the sunlight.

Another Friday, another Private Members Bill smothered by procedural means.

Summarize the following article: Ivor Bell, 79, from Ramoan Gardens, west Belfast, denies two charges connected to the murder of the mother-of-ten. The IRA kidnapped Mrs McConville from her home in Divis flats in 1972. She became known as one of the "disappeared". These were people who were abducted, murdered and buried at secret locations by republicans during the Northern Ireland Troubles. Mr Bell did not appear at the pre-trial hearing at Belfast's Crown Court on Monday. His barrister told the judge: "He suffers from dementia which has a cardiovascular cause and he wouldn't be able to properly follow the course of proceedings." A prosecution lawyer suggested that he would commission a psychiatrist to examine the defendant. He also requested full access to Mr Bell's medical files. The case was adjourned until 16 December. Mr Bell faces two counts of soliciting Mrs McConville's murder, both of which he denies. Mrs McConville's remains were found on Shelling Hill beach in County Louth by a member of the public in August 2003. Nobody has been convicted of her murder. The case against Mr Bell is based on the content of tapes police secured from an oral history archive collated by Boston College in the United States.

A veteran republican accused of involvement in the murder of Jean McConville is suffering from dementia and could not participate fully in his own trial, a court has been told.

Summarize the following article: The Walney wind farm, off Barrow, already has 102 turbines and generates enough power for about 320,000 homes. Danish-based developer Dong Energy wants to add up to 120 additional turbines and provide power for about 500,000 more homes. If the Planning Inspectorate approves the project, work on the new turbines could be completed by 2017. When it was officially opened in February 2012, Walney was the largest offshore wind farm in the world. It was built in two phases with the second set of 51 turbines completed in six months - a record for the wind farm sector. If approved, the extended wind farm will cover an area of about 57 sq miles (149 sq km).

Plans which could see a wind farm off the Cumbrian coast more than double in size are to be submitted.

Summarize the following article: Monaghan trailed by seven at the break but they closed the gap despite the dismissals of Fintan Kelly and Dermot Malone early in the second half. Eoin McHugh's second-half goal helped Donegal to victory over a Cavan side which also finished with 13 players. Tyrone, Donegal and Monaghan lie a point behind leaders Dublin. Sean Cavanagh came off the bench to guide the Red Hands home with three late points, fending off a battling Farney outfit. The visitors out-scored their opponents by eight points to five after the two red cards. Conor Meyler, Tiernan McCann, Darren McCurry and Frank Burns were all on target from distance as the home side established control early on. And they were awarded a penalty in the 10th minute for a foul on Mattie Donnelly, but Peter Harte sent his kick just wide. When Jack McCarron finally opened his side's account in the 25th minute, it looked as if Monaghan could find some rhythm, but Tyrone immediately got back on top with McCann landing his second, and Harte kicking three, two of them from frees, the other a spectacular effort from distance. Tyrone led by 0-9 to 0-2 at the break and Monaghan went down to 13 men with the double dismissal. But they responded with courage, playing like men possessed, displaying incredible resilience and intensity to take the game fearlessly to Tyrone. Goalkeeper Rory Beggan arrowed over a couple of long range frees, and a fabulous fetch and point from Kieran Hughes, now pushed up to full forward, narrowed the gap to three points. Sean Cavanagh's introduction was crucial for a Tyrone side just hanging in there, with the former Footballer of the Year hitting three vital scores, two of them spectacular efforts from play, to steady the ship. Monaghan continued to fight back, with points from McManus and McCarron, but the Red Hands held on. It was much easier for Donegal at Breffni Park, with Michael Murphy hitting the first two of five straight opening points from the visitors. Cavan clawed their way back into the game but suffered a massive blow when Killian Clarke was sent-off for a poor challenge on Eoghan Ban Gallagher late in the first half. Donegal held a 0-6 to 0-4 advantage at the interval and Hugh McFadden increased the gap before Eoin McHugh blasted in the only goal. Cavan stayed in touch with scores from Seanie Johnston, Gearoid McKiernan and Ciaran Brady but three points from excellent Ciaran Thompson helped Donegal to pull clear again. The hosts had already used all their substitutes when Cian Mackey was black-carded in the dying minutes.

Tyrone defeated 13-man Monaghan 0-14 to 0-10 at Healy Park to remain unbeaten in Division One while Donegal cruised to a 1-16 to 0-11 win over Cavan.

Summarize the following article: It said hundreds more doctors would be needed to cope with even the lowest estimates of population growth along with the number of GPs due to retire. The Royal College has called for "immediate action" on the issue. The Scottish government said the number of GPs employed in Scotland was the highest on record. Based on the lowest estimates by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Scottish population is expected to increase by 123,000 by 2020. The Royal College of GPs said that, in order to provide the same doctor-to-patient ratio as we had in 2009, an additional 563 general practitioners will be needed by 2020. If the Scottish population grows by the ONS's highest estimates - 276,000 people - an extra 915 doctors would be needed. The Royal College's predictions are based on the need to replace GPs who are retiring or moving abroad, as well as the need to serve a growing population. About 20% of the GP workforce is aged over 55 and likely to retire in the next 5 years. Dr Miles Mack, the chairman of RCGP Scotland, said: "We need up to 915 more GPs in the next five years or we face a very different 2020 Vision than the Scottish government would wish to report. "It takes five years after a first university medical degree to train a GP. "We need immediate action and radical thinking if we are to save the system we have been so justly proud of." Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "Under this government, the number of GPs employed in Scotland has risen by 6.9% to nearly 5,000 - the highest ever on record. "We have also increased funding by 10% and there are more GPs per head of population in Scotland than in England. "This government will continue to go on supporting and sustaining Scottish General Practice. For example, the recently agreed GP contract aims to give the profession stability over the next three years - reducing bureaucracy and allowing doctors to spend more time with patients." The Royal College has also demanded more information on the whereabouts of £40m allocated by the Scottish government for primary care in 2015/16, and announced in November last year. "Almost six months is a reasonable amount of time in which to consider the many options suggested for the fund's use." said Dr Mack. "The government must now be transparent with their plans. Ministers have, so far, repeatedly referred to the fund in media and Holyrood debates. "In order to plan effectively, GPs need to know where the funds are, how they are planned to be delivered and where they will be spent." The Scottish government said work to recruit more trainee doctors and encourage more medical professionals into general practice would be supported by its new primary care fund with further announcements on this due shortly. Figures produced by the NHS suggest the number of GPs has risen by 10% since 2004, but these figures do not take into account the fact that many more doctors are working part-time. Statistics are not routinely collected on the number of part-time staff, but the most recent estimates suggest that, between 2009 and 2013, there was the equivalent of just 35 extra full-time staff. Scottish Labour said GPs were "under real pressure". The party's health spokeswoman Jenny Marra added: "We need more doctors to ensure people get the care and support they deserve. We also know the reliance on locums is hurting the public purse." The Liberal Democrats said moving more care into the community would be impossible without "strengthening the frontline of our health service - local GPs". Jim Hume MSP said: "The SNP government has taken its eye off the ball and now our local doctors have been left to struggle with fewer resources for growing patient registers." Scottish Conservative health spokesman Jackson Carlaw said the current model of investment in primary care in Scotland was "failing". He added: "We need a new model which encourages GPs to stay and others to return to Scotland."

Scotland could be short of at least 500 doctors by 2020, according to figures compiled by the Royal College of General Practitioners.

Summarize the following article: Jagendra Singh died on Monday, a week after he was allegedly set on fire by a group of men in Uttar Pradesh state. The attack happened after he published an article and posted allegations of corruption on Facebook against ruling party politician Ram Murti Singh Verma. Police have registered a complaint of murder and criminal conspiracy against Mr Verma, who denies the charges. Jagendra Singh's family has alleged that Mr Verma and a group of policemen assaulted the 42-year-old journalist at his home and then doused him with petrol and set him on fire. A local police official claimed that Mr Singh had "committed suicide" when the police arrived at his house in Shahjahanpur district to "arrest him" in connection with a case. Amnesty International has urged the government of Uttar Pradesh to launch an independent investigation into the incident. "This horrific attack highlights the dangers that journalists can face in doing their jobs," Shemeer Babu of Amnesty International India said in a statement. Although police have opened a case against Mr Verma and five others in connection with the incident, no arrests have been made yet. "We have booked the minister for murder and criminal conspiracy and the investigations are on," Vijay Singh Meena, a senior state police official, told AFP news agency. The Press Council of India (PCI) also called for a special investigation into the incident, saying the incident was "an attack on freedom of press". Journalists often face harassment and intimidation by police, politicians and bureaucrats in India. The country ranked 136 out of 180 nations in the 2015 World Press Freedom Index, according to Paris-based Reporters without Borders.

Rights group Amnesty International has called for an inquiry into the alleged killing of a journalist in India.

A chronology of key events:

Summarize the following article: Her Majesty wore blue at the State Opening of Parliament but by the time she arrived at the races, she had changed into yellow. William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said his betting firm had taken just 13 bets on yellow. The Queen wore green on Monday, when she attended the opening of the event. Mr Adams said: "After seeing the Queen wear a blue hat for her speech in Parliament, many punters expected her to remain in her clothing for Royal Ascot. "However, they were left disappointed when she was seen in her procession in a yellow hat, the second favourite in our betting." The Queen had to attend the second day of the racing event on Wednesday without the Duke of Edinburgh who was admitted to hospital on Tuesday evening.

The Queen's quick outfit change before heading to Royal Ascot for a second day of racing has left many punters stumped and bookmakers smiling.

Summarize the following article: A statement on his website said he "took his last breath peacefully surrounded by family". The Vienna Musikverein, home to the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra, said his death marked the end of an era. The conductor announced his retirement in a farewell letter in December, citing health reasons. "My physical capacities mean that I have to cancel all my upcoming projects," he wrote, saying he would not appear on the concert stage again. He penned the open letter to fans, who found it in the programme for a concert by the ensemble he founded, the Concentus Musicus Wien (CMW). Thomas Angyan, director of the Vienna Musikverein, said: "I did not think so little time would pass between his retirement and death. We must continue the musical legacy he leaves us." Harnoncourt's work was considered ground-breaking as he sought to interpret music as faithfully to the original as possible, while his ensemble was at the forefront in its use of period instruments. He was famed for his concern for historical detail and considered his conducting as alive and romantic, not a relic of history. Born to a granddaughter of a Habsburg Archduke and an Austrian count, Count Nikolaus de la Fontaine und d'Harnoncourt-Unverzagt was born in Berlin and grew up in Graz, southern Austria. He studied the cello at Vienna's Academy of Music and joined the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in 1952, where he remained for 17 years. His intensive research into historical instruments and period performance practice led him to set up the CMW with his wife, Alice, in 1953. They began giving concerts in 1957 which were credited with reviving Europe's interest in renaissance, baroque and early classical music by the likes of Bach, Beethoven and Haydn. Harnoncourt began conducting opera and concert performances in the early 1970s and was considered one of the last great post-war Austrian conductors, alongside Herbert von Karajan, Karl Boehm and Carlos Kleiber. Among his acclaimed recordings were Bach's Brandenburg Concertos (1964) and a pioneering project to record all of Bach's cantatas which was launched in 1971 and completed in 1990. He went on to become one of the most recorded early-music conductors, although his repertoire later expanded to include 19th and 20th Century composers including Gershwin. He is survived by his wife and three children.

The celebrated Austrian conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt - considered to be the "pope" of the baroque music revival - has died in Vienna aged 86.

Summarize the following article: Police spotted his car heavily laden with sacks of grain in Luton and advised him to split the load. However, he was spotted later and fined £300. "The driver found he could buy 20kg (44lb) bags of rice from a cash and carry for £15.49 so bought 40 bags totalling 800kg (1,764lb)," police said. The cut-price rice and fine cost £920. Officers from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire road policing unit stopped the car in Dunstable Road on Friday night. More news from Bedfordshire The driver was advised to remove the sacks of basmati and either split the load or find a more suitable vehicle. However, he chose to ignore the advice and continue with his basmati booty. The vehicle was stopped a second time and taken to a weighbridge where the driver was fined. He then arranged for a friend to help him move the sacks safely. The force later tweeted: "If you need to carry 800kg of rice, choose a suitable vehicle. This isn't it. Dangerously overweight."

Buying basmati rice at a bargain price turned out to be false economy for one motorist.

Summarize the following article: William Friedkin, who directed the film adaptation of Blatty's novel, broke the news of his death on Twitter. "William Peter Blatty, dear friend and brother who created The Exorcist passed away yesterday," he wrote. The Exorcist was published as a novel in 1971, with the hugely successful big screen adaptation - also written by Blatty - following two years later. Despite a troubled production and a muted launch, the film went on to become one of the highest grossing in history and is considered by critics to be a classic horror movie. Blatty's widow, Julie Alicia Blatty, told the Associated Press that the writer died on Thursday at a hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. The cause of death was multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, she said. Horror writer Stephen King tweeted: "RIP William Peter Blatty, who wrote the great horror novel of our time. So long, Old Bill." The Exorcist won Blatty an Oscar for best adapted screenplay and he went on to write and direct the second sequel The Exorcist III.

Summarize the following article: Ray Cope was due to leave the village of Lympstone after 17 years with a longer-serving colleague due to replace him. Residents launched a campaign to retain Mr Cope, saying he had become "part of the village". Royal Mail has now said "more changes have been made locally" and "Ray will remain on his normal duty". Posters supporting Mr Cope appeared in the village and several residents wrote to Royal Mail following the decision. Jennifer and Frederick Mather, who have been taking part in the campaign, said the change is "great news" but they will continue with the online petition. Ms Mather said: "The great news is that he will be with us for six months at the end of which there will be another review. "He is so grateful and doesn't know how he can thank the village enough but we will do our best! "We want Royal Mail to know that we will not give up on wanting Ray to be here for the foreseeable future." Royal Mail spokesperson Mike Norman said: "We are pleased that our customers in Lympstone have had such excellent service from one of our postmen. "It is always gratifying when our customers recognise the hard work of their postman or woman. I can confirm that as part of our on-going reviews, more changes have been made locally. "This means Ray will remain on his normal duty."

Royal Mail has made a U-turn over the future of a Devon postman following a campaign from residents.

Summarize the following article: Writing in the Observer, Mr Khan said Mr Corbyn had "totally failed" to get his messages across in the UK's EU referendum in June. "Why would things be different in a general election?," Mr Khan said. Explaining his support for Mr Smith, he said the pair had agreed on the "big issues", such as opposing the Iraq War. Mr Khan said: "Jeremy has already proved that he is unable to organise an effective team and has failed to win the trust and respect of the British people. "Jeremy's personal ratings are the worst of any opposition leader on record and the Labour party is suffering badly as a result. "He has lost the confidence of more than 80% of Labour's MPs in Parliament - and I am afraid we simply cannot afford to go on like this." Guide to the Labour leadership election Mr Smith, the former work and pensions spokesman, is challenging Mr Corbyn for Labour's top job, after the leader lost a no-confidence vote of his MPs in June. MPs who voted against Mr Corbyn have criticised his leadership and his performance during the EU referendum, but supporters have argued that he has been undermined by his opponents in the party. This week at a hustings event, Mr Corbyn insisted that he could reach out beyond his core supporters and win over "some people that have been tempted to vote Tory". But Mr Khan, who became mayor in May and has until now remained neutral in the leadership contest, said the EU referendum was a test for Mr Corbyn to get his message out, which he had "totally failed". He said that through the referendum and its aftermath, Mr Corbyn had "failed to show the leadership we desperately needed". "And you can't just blame a 'hostile media' and let Jeremy and his team off the hook. "I know from my own election - up against a nasty and divisive Tory campaign - that if we are strong and clear enough in our convictions, the message will get through to the public. "That's a test that Jeremy totally failed in the EU referendum. Why would things be different in a general election? "His position on EU membership was never clear - and voters didn't believe him." Explaining his backing for Mr Smith, Mr Khan added: "On the big issues Owen and I have been on the same side of the argument, including opposing the Iraq War. "Owen led and - more importantly - won our fight against the Tories' unfair cuts to tax credits and disability allowances, which would have hurt the most disadvantaged people in our society." Mr Smith said he was "hugely honoured" to have Mr Khan's support. "Sadiq ran a fantastic campaign to win power for Labour in London this year, securing a huge mandate from party members and the electorate," he said. "He showed that a vision of hope and optimism can win, if it's backed up with a credible plan to deliver real meaningful change for people's lives. "Since that election we have already seen what a difference Labour can make when we hold power." Speaking on Friday, Mr Corbyn said his message appealed "all across the country". He pledged to "win over people... by the policies we put forward", such as decent housing and security at work, including "some people that have been tempted to vote Tory" in the past. The Labour leadership contest result will be announced on 24 September.

London mayor Sadiq Khan has urged Labour voters to ditch Jeremy Corbyn as leader and vote for Owen Smith in the party's leadership contest.

Summarize the following article: Mr Reid, 75, has served in the Senate for almost 30 years, including as Senate majority and minority leader. The Nevada senator said in video statement his retirement was not related to a recent accident nor to the Democrats losing control of the Senate. "I want to be able to go out at the top of my game," Mr Reid told the New York Times. Among those likely to replace Mr Reid in the leadership position are Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and New York Senator Chuck Schumer. The Nevada senator, a former amateur boxer, first came to Congress as a Representative in 1983. He was elected Senate majority leader when Democrats took control of the chamber in 2007. Mr Reid injured his eye and ribs when he fell in an exercise accident on 1 January. The senator said recuperating had given him to time "ponder and to think" about his political future. He told the New York Times he had been contemplating possible retirement for months. In his statement, he vowed to keep fighting for his party for his remaining 22 months in office. "We have to make sure that the Democrats take control of the Senate again," Mr Reid said, adding he felt it was "inappropriate for me to soak up all those resources" when it could be used on other elections. Mr Reid had a tough re-election fight in 2010 and could have faced another in 2016. He also issued a warning to Republicans, telling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell "don't be too elated" because there are still 22 months to go.

The top Democrat in the US Senate, Harry Reid, has announced he will not seek re-election in 2016.

Summarize the following article: Anthony O'Sullivan and two other council officers were investigated by police after a report by Mr Barrett claimed a process that saw them receive pay rises of up to 20% was "unlawful". Misconduct charges were dropped last year after a judge dismissed the case. The Wales Audit Office has said it treats all complaints confidentially. It added that any complaint would be investigated internally. BBC Wales has learned that as part of the complaint, Mr O'Sullivan has written to the chief auditor general for Wales, Huw Vaughan Thomas, questioning Mr Barrett's qualifications for the role, in particular his qualification to find something "unlawful". The Wales Audit Office (WAO) is the public spending watchdog and Mr Barrett is responsible for auditing local government bodies. A biography on the WAO website says Mr Barrett is a chartered public finance accountant and a certified fraud examiner who has held several positions as an auditor in the public and private sector. Mr O'Sullivan, his deputy Nigel Barnett and the head of legal services Daniel Perkins have been suspended from their positions since 2013. They were charged with misconduct in public office, but a judge dismissed the case at Bristol Crown Court in October. In his ruling on the application to dismiss, judge William Hart said: "There is no evidence upon which a reasonable jury properly directed could convict any of the defendants of misconduct in public office on the admissible evidence available." At the time the leader of Caerphilly council said "serious questions" must be asked of the investigation. Earlier this year the UK government said it would not compensate Caerphilly council for the more than £1m cost of the criminal investigation into the suspended officers. In January 2014, Mr Barrett published two reports saying Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire councils acted unlawfully when they let their chief executives opt out of a pension scheme to avoid potential tax payments. Carmarthenshire council said its process had been flawed rather than its pension policy being illegal, but ended the arrangement following the report. The findings by the WAO triggered a failed vote of no confidence in the leadership of Carmarthenshire council. Pembrokeshire council insisted its pension payment policy was lawful, but accepted the findings. A Caerphilly council committee is investigating the suspended officers. The council said the investigation was being conducted "fairly and thoroughly" in line with the statutory requirements. The council said it did not want to comment on any complaints. The WAO said it "treats all complaints received in confidence" in accordance with its policy.

The suspended chief executive of Caerphilly council has made a formal complaint against the assistant auditor general for Wales, Anthony Barrett.

Summarize the following article: The Scots failed to qualify for Euro 2016 after finishing fourth in their qualifying group. They now have end-of-season friendlies against Italy in Malta on Sunday and France in Metz on 4 June. "It's not great to be the warm-up act," said Norwich striker Naismith, 29. "Everybody's just got to realise that this is the feeling and you don't want to be doing it again when you're that close in such a good position." Gordon Strachan's men put themselves in contention to qualify for the finals with good results in the first half of their qualifying campaign. But defeat in Georgia led to their downfall, and they eventually finished behind Germany, Poland and Republic of Ireland. Naismith hopes lessons have been learned from that failure which will inspire the squad when their qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup begins in September. "It's good to meet up and see the boys and get training and test yourselves against two world-class countries, but we are the preparation (for them) and that's a massive disappointment," he said. "That's the worst part of it. "Guys down south are talking about going to the Euros; they all have that buzz and a lot of my team-mates haven't been to a tournament for a while, so they are experiencing what we hoped we would have been. "When you are younger you maybe think, 'hard luck, but we have got next year' but for those of us perhaps looking at the last few campaigns we could be involved in, you do want to make a mark and get to one tournament at least. "Everything was in our favour and it was a massive blow because it was such a good opportunity to qualify." Naismith, who recently experienced the disappointment of relegation from the Premier League with Norwich, takes heart though from the attitude and quality of the younger players which Gordon Strachan has brought in. "There is real competition now from the younger guys," he added. "I have been surprised by the quality of them, especially those who haven't been in squads before because they have maybe missed out on the Under-19s and 21s. It is going be exciting times. "[Hibs midfielder] John McGinn was one who stood out in the game he was involved in (the 1-0 friendly win over Denmark) and [Aberdeen midfielder] Kenny Mclean was another. They had no fear and you wouldn't have known it was their first time in the squad. A lot of boys here are like that. "I remember turning up before my debut against the Faroe Islands and the likes of Davie Weir and Kenny Miller were there, and I was in awe of these guys. The guys now know the opportunity they have and want to show how good they are to get in the team, which is a great asset."

Steven Naismith says it is hard for the Scotland players to accept their role as the "warm-up act" for other countries participating in the European Championships next month.

Summarize the following article: Part of the Barrymore acting clan, she was thrown into the spotlight at the age of seven, appearing in Steven Spielberg's 1982 box office smash ET. After a high-profile derailment during her teens which saw her admitted to rehab for drug and alcohol abuse, the star got back on track in the mid-1990s. Thanks to her girl-next-door demeanour, she has firmly established herself in the world of romantic comedies over the past decade. She also has her own production company, has produced a number of films and a TV series and, last year, directed her first feature film, Whip It. Add to that a Golden Globe win earlier this year for her portrayal of Jackie Onassis' cousin in Grey Gardens and it's clear to see how she has earned the respect of her Hollywood peers. For her latest film Going the Distance - in a departure from her usual kooky comic film roles - she plays a more self-assured, confident character who knows what she wants. Starring opposite her on/off boyfriend Justin Long, Barrymore plays Erin - a straight-talking, career-driven, aspiring journalist - who ends up in a long-distance relationship after a one-night stand. Because the film is R-rated in the US, it afforded her the opportunity to be a bit more risque with her actions - and her language. "I think she's refreshing," says Barrymore. "This is totally a woman I relate to. I definitely go out for a drink with my friends after a bad day and talk dirty with my girlfriends. "And I appreciate she's trying to figure out, 'I don't want to give up everything for love, but I don't want to end up alone with a career and no love'." When it comes to her own relationships, Barrymore - who has had two short-lived marriages - manages largely to stay out of the public eye and ensure her private life is kept private. Barrymore's reputation as a hard-working professional has undoubtedly helped her rising position in the Hollywood power stakes. Mike Goodridge, editor of Screen Daily, says the secret to Barrymore's success is her "America's sweetheart" likeability. "Hollywood is a highly nepotistic culture that supports continuity in clans, but you just can't help but like her and everything she does," he says. "And she's parlayed her likeability as a romantic comedy star into getting things that she wants made." At the age of 20, she set up her own company, Flower Films, which has produced hits including Charlie's Angels, 50 First Dates, He's Just Not That Into You and cult movie Donnie Darko. Collectively, Flower Films projects - which the actress also stars in - have grossed nearly $900m (£583m) at the box office worldwide. Last year she diversified still further, directing Oscar-nominated Ellen Page in roller derby film Whip It, but it was received with muted success in the US and UK. "She's developing some of the films and that's the difference," says Goodridge. "There are some actors who just put their name to a film but that doesn't mean they produce anything. "She has a functional production company which develops material and then takes it to film studios." In a traditionally male-dominated industry, Barrymore says it's a good time to be a woman in Hollywood. "Women are kind of rocking it," she says. "There's a lot of female-driven film and television shows - it's a wonderful time for women." But Barrymore is definitely not resting on her laurels: "I'm never going to sit around and complain about the sexist thing. As a woman, you have to pave the way for yourself and not sit around." She adds: "Right now my heart is really in directing, but I'm doing a drama this fall and we're producing a bunch of films. "Then I want to find that thing I can be in love with again for three years because that's how long directing takes." Goodridge says her success will continue for a long time to come. "She's always had hits along the way. She's sort of an evergreen and people like watching her," he says. "She's a fixture and that's something you can't say about a lot of women her age."

After 30 years in movies, Drew Barrymore has quietly become a powerful Hollywood force.

Summarize the following article: Trinity won in Perpignan last season and never trailed as they backed up that result with a convincing win. Jones-Bishop crossed twice, followed by Tom Johnstone's score as they led 16-0 at half-time, with Ben Garcia replying. Catalans kept battling away, scoring two further tries, but Wakefield added four of their own to cap the win. Despite a decent start, Catalans have faded since talismanic back-rower Greg Bird was injured in the defeat by Leeds at Headingley last month. Even their home form has fallen away with this their third winless game at the Stade Gilbert Brutus in 2017. Wakefield were aggressive and smart from the opening stages, frustrating Catalans and forcing errors that were compounded by breakaway scores from Jones-Bishop and Johnstone. The playmaking triumvirate of Liam Finn, ex-Dracs player Sam Williams and off the bench Jacob Miller, playing behind a dominant pack, put Joe Arundel and Matty Ashurst through gaps with soft hands. Krisnan Inu was a rare bright spot for Catalans, scoring a solo try, in addition to Garcia and Fouad Yaha touch-downs on the edges. Wakefield Trinity head coach Chris Chester: "I'm really, really pleased, I thought we were very dominant today straight from the kick-off. I thought our forward pack was outstanding and we created a lot of opportunities. "We were a little bit disappointed not to go in at half time with a few more tries under our belt - I think Tom Johnstone lost the ball twice in try-scoring opportunities but his try just before half-time gave him a bit of a leg up. "In the second half we came out and were very, very good with the ball, we ran hard and I think defensively we were good in the second half. I'm a bit disappointed that we give them a bit of a leg up in the second half and a couple of poor penalties from us gave them some field position. "That being said, I think we are deserving of the two points, we've won four from the last five now and this team is full of confidence." Catalans: Bosc; Yaha, Inu, Duport, Thornley; Walsh, Myler; Moa, Aiton, Casty, Anderson, Horo, Garcia Replacements: Bousquet, Baitieri, Simon, Da Costa Wakefield: Grix; Jones-Bishop, Arundel, Tupou, Johnstone; Williams, Finn; Fifita, Wood, Allgood, Ashurst, Kirmond, Arona Replacements: Miller, Hadley, Hirst, Huby.

Ben Jones-Bishop's treble made it four wins from five for Wakefield as they beat a Catalans Dragons side that have now lost their last four games.

Summarize the following article: Eight boring machines have been cutting their way through earth to create 26 miles (42km) of tunnels. Services, which are due to start in 2018, will run as far west as Reading in Berkshire and as far east as Shenfield in Essex. During a visit to the Crossrail site at Farringdon, David Cameron said the project was "an engineering triumph". Boring machine Victoria's breakthrough at Farringdon on Wednesday night completed tunnelling through the capital. The prime minister, London mayor Boris Johnson and transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin walked through the tunnel at Farringdon to take a closer look at the tunnelling machine. Mr Johnson said the completion was "an historic day" and marked "a huge success for the whole of the UK economy". Construction of Crossrail began at Canary Wharf in London Docklands on 15 May 2009, with tunnelling work starting in May 2012. At the peak of construction machines were aiming to complete 100 metres of tunnelling a week. The fastest day of tunnelling was on 16 April 2014 when boring machine Ellie completed 236ft (72m) between Pudding Mill Lane and Stepney Green. Crossrail's tunnels are made up of more than 200,000 concrete tunnel segments, with each weighing 3.4 tonnes. Millions of tonnes of excavated material is being shipped to Wallasea Island in Essex to create a nature reserve. Ten new Crossrail stations are being built in central London, London Docklands and Abbey Wood, south London. Crossrail is Europe's largest construction project with thousands of workers operating on dozens of sites. It is estimated the scheme, which will serve 40 stations, will generate at least 75,000 business opportunities. The Crossrail project is 65% complete and engineers will now continue upgrading existing stations and building new stations in central London and London Docklands.

Tunnelling work across London for the £14.8bn Crossrail scheme has been finished.

Summarize the following article: The National Trust said people were being invited to choose their own tree from Hindhead Commons in Surrey on the Saturday before Christmas. The trees that are being cut down are non-native and quickly become dominant. Felling them will help the local ecology, rangers said. Matt Cusack, head ranger for Hindhead Commons and the Devil's Punch Bowl, said the area of high hills topped with pine trees had its own micro-climate and often saw the first scattering of snow in winter. He said the Scots Pines being harvested grew rapidly and left fewer nutrients and less light for slower-growing, native species, so felling them would be "a win-win all round". The pines are being cut down as saplings before they grow into mature woodland that would overshadow the heathland. Rangers expect all the trees to be taken at the Hindhead Commons event, because a similar event held at Leith Hill in 2012 was so busy that the trees ran out. It takes about four or five years for enough saplings to grow back so that another Christmas tree harvest can be held. The charity said it was part of its ongoing conservation work. There are no set price for the trees, but the National Trust has said donations will be gladly accepted.

Christmas trees are to be harvested at a beauty spot known as "Little Switzerland" because of its pine trees, hills and early snowfall.

Summarize the following article: Apple has also filed a second case alleging Qualcomm had broken the terms of a deal covering how Apple could use technologies it had licensed. Qualcomm said it was ready to defend its business practices in court. The lawsuits come soon after US regulators sued Qualcomm, alleging that the firm was guilty of market abuse. In its legal papers, Apple said Qualcomm was using its dominant position as a supplier of communication chips for mobile phones to squeeze more cash from firms that use its technologies. In the second legal case, Apple said that Qualcomm had denied it access to chip technologies it was entitled to under the terms of an agreed licensing deal. In a statement, Qualcomm said it had not yet seen all the details of the two cases. "These filings by Apple's Chinese subsidiary are just part of Apple's efforts to find ways to pay less for Qualcomm's technology," said Don Rosenberg, head lawyer for Qualcomm. He added that Apple was offered terms and conditions that were drawn up in 2015 following a ruling by Chinese trade regulators that dictated how Qualcomm should deal with companies keen to use its modem chips. More than 100 Chinese firms signed up to these terms and conditions, he said, adding that Apple "refused to even consider them". "Qualcomm is prepared to defend its business model anywhere in the world," said Mr Rosenberg. Last week, the US Federal Trade Commission sued Qualcomm claiming it had abused its dominance in modem chips for mobile phones. The FTC said Qualcomm's use of low licensing fees was helping it to enforce its monopoly. In response, Qualcomm said the FTC complaint was based on a "flawed legal theory" and "significant misconceptions" about the way the mobile industry worked. Soon after the FTC filed its complaint, Apple followed up with its own legal action seeking $1bn (£793m) in rebates and accusing Qualcomm of overcharging it for chips. Qualcomm said it planned to fight both legal cases. The chip-maker has been hit with legal challenges and regulatory action around the world over the last few years. In December 2016, South Korean regulators fined it 1.03trn won (£698m) for breaking competition laws. In 2015, it paid a $975m (£775m) fine in China following an anti-trust probe. The European Commission has also accused it of anti-competitive practices.

Apple has filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm in China seeking 1bn yuan (£115m) in damages, claiming the chip maker has abused its market position.

Summarize the following article: Andrew Griffiths said the joined-up nature of NHS Wales and a £11m computer investment meant fewer vulnerabilities. His department coordinates computer systems across seven health boards. Friday's cyber attack disrupted health organisations in England and Scotland. But speaking exclusively to BBC Wales, Mr Griffiths, director of NHS Wales Informatics Service (NWIS) warned against complacency and said the organisation needed to be vigilant and to continue to invest in cyber-security in the face growing threats. "We weren't lucky we were prepared and that preparedness stood us in good stead," he said. "No system is 100% certain but we did have the systems processes and people in place to make sure the attacks couldn't get through. "Because we had invested in infrastructure, because we've got a common infrastructure across Wales, we were able to patch more easily and keep up to date - because we were less fragmented it removed a lot of vulnerabilities from the system." Mr Griffiths praised a superb effort from staff working around the clock to tackle the threat "I'm immensely proud of on-call colleagues who came in. They called other colleagues - people who weren't on-call to come in. "There wasn't a question about coming in... and everybody's worked superbly across the NHS. It was a brilliant exercise in cooperation." But he warned against complacency and said lessons will be learnt "Clearly we don't want cyber attacks, clearly we can't be complacent and we have to be vigilant and continue to make the right investments and continue to make sure our processes are working, "There will be things too learn from this experience... But I think it's a good moment to recognise that planning and the fact we were prepared, that we've invested in common systems and processes have really paid off." WHAT HAPPENED IN WALES?

The NHS in Wales was in stronger position to withstand the recent cyber-attack - not because of luck but because it was well prepared, the head of its computer operations has said.

Summarize the following article: The Welsh capital region are five points behind sixth-placed Ulster following their 15-10 defeat by Scarlets on New Year's Day. Fifth-placed Warriors are nine points ahead of the Blues in fifth. "We have to get a win up there. If we don't then that top six is slowly slipping away," Warburton said. "There will be a big emphasis on going up there, putting a lot of pressure on ourselves to produce a big performance. "Otherwise it is going to be extremely difficult and we will be playing catch-up again." The top four teams in the Pro12 at the end of the season play-off for the championship. A top-six finish would also probably secure a place in the European Champions Cup in 2017-18 - Scarlets were the only Welsh region to qualify for this season's tournament. Head coach Danny Wilson said the Blues missed an opportunity to win at Parc y Scarlets with home coach Wayne Pivac admitting his team were "hanging on a bit" at the end of the game. The losing bonus point was little consolation for Warburton, who captained the Blues in the absence of injured prop Gethin Jenkins. The fight for a top four spot will be a motivation for Blues against Glasgow, who completed a European Champions Cup double over Racing 92 in December. "It is extra motivation because we know if we lose any more than two or three more games we are going to find it extremely difficult to get into that top six," Warburton added. "There is pressure on all our games now, we have been decent at home, but away is where we have to improve. "We had a good win away at Munster at the start of the season, but if we want to want to be top six then you have to go to a quality team like Glasgow and pick up wins. "We have made good signings, from a playing and coaching perspective, and we really need to kick on to that next level and get in that top six. "It is a huge motivation for the players."

Sam Warburton believes Cardiff Blues have to win at Glasgow Warriors on Saturday to keep alive their hopes of a top six finish in the Pro12.

Summarize the following article: The 20-year-old scored five goals in 14 League One games for Shrewsbury earlier this term after joining on a four-month youth loan from Palace in September. And he has now hit a further four goals in three starts since returning to the relegation-threatened League One club. "Tell me who's better than him in that Under-21 team?" asked Mellon. "Look at the qualities he has. A young English talent who can score the kind of goals he has for us for so long now. "He's exciting for the fans and he makes back fours bend with his pace, trickery, directness and his desire to score. "And he works his socks off. He comes with Premier League standards because that's what he's used to, and it rubs off on everyone else." Glaswegian Micky Mellon has a deserved reputation for talent-spotting, given the part he played in helping to shape Jamie Vardy's path to the top four years ago. He signed him for Fleetwood Town on the cheap from FC Halifax in the summer of 2011 before moving him on to Leicester City the following summer, having scored 34 goals to fire the Cod Army into the Football League. Now he believes that Kaikai, who scored on his only appearance to date for Palace - in the League Cup against Newcastle United in September 2014 - has a lot more to give. "I want to see a successful England team, even as a Scotsman," added Mellon. "I want to see brilliant players playing for England and I can't believe he hasn't even had a whisper." Sullay Kaikai's four goals in three starts - including both in the 2-2 draw at Bury last Saturday - mean that he is now Town's nine-goal top scorer. And, having already helped the Town move eight points clear of trouble in League One, the on-loan South Londoner man admits it is a different Shrewsbury from the struggling, confidence-sapped side he joined earlier in the season. "The team is now full of confidence," he told BBC Radio Shropshire. "We go into every game feeling like we're going to win. We're creating lots of chances and it's just about taking them and getting the points. "We just take each game as it comes and we don't want to get ahead of ourselves too soon. So we'll go into the next game with a winning mentality."

Shrewsbury boss Micky Mellon cannot believe that his on-loan Crystal Palace striker Sullay Kaikai has not been considered by England's Under-21s.

Summarize the following article: The 26-year-old, drafted to Indianapolis in 2012, is now contracted to the Colts until the end of the 2021 season. Luck's wages take him above the annual average of $22.1m collected by Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens, the previous record earner. "I am thrilled and excited," Luck said. The Colts made the play-offs in Luck's first three seasons with them but he suffered an injury-hit 2015, missing two early matches with a shoulder problem before suffering a lacerated kidney that ruled him out after week nine. Colts owner Jim Irsay said: "This is an exciting day for the organisation and Colts fans around the globe. "Andrew is the consummate professional, possesses extraordinary talent and is our leader on and off the field."

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has signed a new six-year deal worth $140m (£104m) to become the highest-earning player in NFL history.
