Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2013, recently underwent further treatment in an effort to prolong his life. However, in a Facebook post, the County Durham family said scans showed a tumour had developed at the base of the youngster's back. They described themselves as "devastated and heart-broken". Although they will not receive official results until next week, Bradley's family, from Blackhall Colliery, near Hartlepool, said they wanted to let his supporters know about the development. The post, written by Bradley's mother Gemma, said: "Bradley scans show that there has been a small reduction in some parts, however there is a new tumour on the bottom of his back. "As you can imagine we are devastated and heart-broken with this news as I really wanted the new treatment to work. "We are not sure where we go from here as it will depend on his bone marrow biopsy results. He is getting this done tomorrow, but results won't be back for another week. "Why is life so cruel? Why do we have to get bad news time after time? Why does my baby not get a break?" Well-wishers raised hundreds of thousands of pounds last year to pay for Bradley to be given antibody treatment in New York, but medics then found his cancer had grown and the family were informed his illness was terminal. He has since undergone "tumour-shrinking treatment" at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary. People took Bradley to their hearts following an appeal which saw him receive 250,000 Christmas cards from across the globe. His love of football then resulted in him winning the Match of the Day Goal of the Month award in January after he took to the pitch to take a penalty ahead of Sunderland's game against Chelsea. He has also appeared as a mascot for Everton, who last year pledged £200,000 to his fundraising campaign, and was recently visited in hospital by a number of Sunderland players. Mr Juncker insists there can be no negotiations until the UK triggers Article 50 - the withdrawal process. The expat group wants immediate talks about the implications of Brexit for Britons living in other EU countries. UK Prime Minister Theresa May has pledged to trigger Article 50 by the end of March. But she also called for "preparatory work" with EU governments - before the official negotiations - to help smooth the process of UK withdrawal. The non-profit association Fair Deal for Expats has issued a legal challenge against Mr Juncker at the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The group alleges that his "presidential order" concerning Brexit discussions is an "unlawful gagging order" which "must be annulled immediately". Croft Solicitors, representing the expats in the case, told the BBC that "there is no such thing as a presidential order" in the European Commission. Mr Juncker and some other European politicians have warned against an "a la carte" deal for the UK which might encourage other EU members to cherry-pick EU policies, unravelling the rulebook. In a speech on 28 June, four days after the Leave campaign won the UK referendum, Mr Juncker said: "I have forbidden Commissioners from holding discussions with representatives from the British Government - by Presidential order, which is not my style. "I have told all the [Commission] Directors-General that there cannot be any prior discussions with British representatives. No notification, no negotiation." Article 50: A simple explanation On Friday Mr Juncker insisted again that the EU must not compromise on free movement of labour during the Brexit divorce talks. It is among the EU's cherished four freedoms - the others being free movement of capital, goods and services - that members of the EU single market have to respect. Speaking in Paris, Mr Juncker said "you can't have one foot in and one foot out". "On that point we must be intransigent. I can see the manoeuvring." Many UK politicians want a deal that would allow the UK to keep key single market advantages while also limiting the numbers of EU migrants entering the UK. Mr Juncker warned against "secret talks in dark rooms, with curtains drawn, with British government representatives". "If we start unravelling the [EU] internal market... we will set in train the end of Europe," he said. There are just under 1.2m UK citizens living in other EU countries, the largest group being in Spain (just under 310,000), followed by Ireland (255,000) and France (185,000), according to United Nations data. Wynne Edwards, a member of Fair Deal for Expats living in France, said Mr Juncker's "order" was an attempt to influence legitimate discussion on Brexit among UK citizens, and so amounted to discrimination. "If Germans wanted to speak about the effects of Brexit on Germany they wouldn't be prohibited from doing so," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme. Healthcare is among the key concerns of British expats, he said, citing the case of a Briton who had been getting cancer treatment in France, but had been refused some medication in the UK. "We ought to be allowed to find out what the lines in the sand are, what is negotiable and what isn't," he said. The 22-year-old, who had a loan spell at Mansfield last season, is a left-back who can also play in midfield. Dublin-born Kavanagh has been at Fulham since 2011 and made his debut in a 1-0 defeat by Wolves in August 2014. Meanwhile, Pools goalkeeper Trevor Carson is set to miss the rest of this campaign as he requires surgery on a shoulder injury in two weeks' time. Former Bury and Cheltenham stopper Carson, 28, has made 23 appearances in all competitions for the League Two club this term. The 26-year-old made 17 appearances for the Iron last season as they were beaten in the play-off semi-finals. He played 18 times for Rangers before joining Stoke in 2012, where he managed just one substitute appearance. Ness, capped by Scotland at under-21 level, had been at Scunthorpe since July 2015 after loan spells in League One with Leyton Orient and Crewe.

Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans is the highest paid person at the BBC, getting more than £2 million a year. Strictly host Claudia Winkleman is the highest paid woman with a salary of more than £450,000 a year. Only around a third of the people on the list are women. The top seven people earning the most are men. The BBC has been strongly criticised over the figures. Some people are angry about the amount of money it pays its stars. Others are complaining about the big difference in pay between men and women. But Tony Hall, the boss of the BBC said "If we are to give the public what they want, then we have to pay for those great presenters and stars." He also said there was "more to do" to make things equal. Bella and canine companion Blake disappeared from their owner Natalie Haywood's garden on Monday. The spring lamb, who is still being bottle fed, was paired with the one-year-old Border Collie after the loss of her mother. Newark and Sherwood District Council, which is looking into the disappearance, said the pair might have escaped. But Ms Haywood, of Perlethorpe, near Sherwood Forest, said she fears they may have been stolen. Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands. She said five-week-old Bella was given to her by a farmer neighbour a week ago. "They are the best of friends, she follows him around everywhere," she said. Ms Haywood said she had gone out leaving the animals secured in the garden but when she returned the gate was wide open and the pals were gone. The home borders 3,800-acre Clumber Park which the pair might have entered. A council spokesman said: "We think they may have escaped, but we can't rule anything out. "The lamb is bottle-fed and needs a regular feed. If you have any information please contact our dog warden service." Williams shone for Scarlets in their 28-11 Champions Cup win over Sale. Caretaker Wales coach Rob Howley names his squad for the autumn internationals on Tuesday and Pivac expects to see centre Jonathan Davies feature due to his partnership with Williams. "I thought Scott and Jonathan [Davies] combined very well and it augurs well for Wales going forward," Pivac said. "Scott was in a moon boot for the first half of the week with a sprained toe, and so I thought he played pretty well," he continued. "The medical team managed him really well and for him to go 80 minutes was very impressive. It was pleasing to see him step up. "You would expect to see Jamie Roberts and Scott in the squad selection, along with Jonathan, and whichever way they go it will be a good combination." Pivac was thrilled with the start his side made in the European Champions Cup, but knows it will still be tough to qualify sharing a group with champions Saracens and 2014-15 winners Toulon. Saracens inflicted a first European home defeat on Toulon on Saturday, as they won 31-23 against the French side and Scarlets travel to Allianz Park to face the reigning champions in their next Champions Cup game. "This is a very tough pool, we had a look at the Saracens v Toulon game and both of those sides are going to be a step up again," Pivac told BBC Radio Wales Sport. "We have to keep building, take confidence from this performance and throw the kitchen sink at Saracens. This is a very, very tough pool. "We are in with two giants of the game who in the last two years have held up the silverware. We are under no illusions it will only get tougher from here, but we need to get tougher as a group. "There are a few areas we can improve on." Colin Tizzard's pair dispute favouritism for the blue riband along with the Willie Mullins-trained Djakadam. Cue Card fell three fences from the finish 12 months ago and has since won a third Betfair Chase at Haydock. He lost out to stablemate Thistlecrack at Kempton on Boxing Day but returned to winning ways at Ascot in February. Native River has enjoyed a fantastic campaign, winning the Hennessy at Newbury, the Welsh Grand National at Chepstow and February's Denman Chase at Newbury. Mullins has saddled the runner-up of the Gold Cup six times but has yet to taste victory. Djakadam, however, has chased home Coneygree and Don Cossack in the past two Gold Cups. Media playback is not supported on this device Lizzie Kelly will become the first woman to ride in the race for 33 years when she partners outsider Tea For Two. Kelly became the only woman to win a Grade One race over jumps when she rode the horse to success in the Kauto Star Novices' Chase in December 2015. Jessica Harrington saddles her first runner in the race - Irish Gold Cup winner Sizing John - with Henry de Bromhead represented by Champagne West. Gordon Elliott has declared both Outlander and Empire Of Dirt, though the latter is set to instead line up in the Ryanair Chase on Thursday. Jonjo O'Neill saddles More Of That and Minella Rocco, while Bristol De Mai, Smad Place, Saphir Du Rheu and Irish Cavalier complete the field. Scott triumphed in a time of 47.90 seconds and booked his place at this summer's World Championships along with Max Litchfield, who also broke a British record to win gold in the 400m individual medley. Charlotte Atkinson clinched gold in the women's 200m butterfly, adding to the 50m title she won on Wednesday. Litchfield clinched his spot at the Worlds by finishing in an automatic qualifying time of four minutes 10.63 seconds. Atkinson, who comes from the Isle of Man, secured a consideration mark of two minutes 7.06secs for the summer championships. Commonwealth bronze medallist Dan Jervis also achieved a consideration time on the way to an emphatic victory in the 1500m freestyle, finishing in 14 minutes 51.48secs. The Welsh swimmer, who works as a painter and decorator to fund his training, described the victory as "amazing". In Thursday's other final, Anna Hopkin won the 50m freestyle in a time of 25.07secs, which was outside of the consideration time. He said it was a "bizarre and cruel thing" for the princes to do and the funeral procession was "the most horrifying half an hour of my life". He told Radio 4's Today: "I was lied to and told that they wanted to do it, which of course they didn't." He spoke as the 20th anniversary of her death approaches on 31 August. "It was the worst part of the day by a considerable margin, walking behind my sister's body with two boys who were obviously massively grieving their mother. "It was a sort of bizarre circumstance where we were told you just have to look straight ahead. "But the feeling, the sort of absolute crashing tidal wave of grief coming at you as you went down this sort of tunnel of deep emotion, it was really harrowing actually and I still have nightmares about it now." The earl also said there have been four attempted break-ins at the family home where Princess Diana is buried. He said he had been a "passionate advocate" for William and Harry not to have to walk behind their mother's body and Princess Diana would not have wanted it. "Then eventually I was lied to and told that they wanted to do it, which of course they didn't, but I didn't realise that." Prince Harry, who was 12 when his mother died, has previously spoken about walking in the funeral procession, saying no child "should be asked to do that". Describing the procession, the earl said he could hear people sobbing, wailing and shouting messages of love to Diana and the princes which was a "very tricky time". "But it was impossible not to connect with the emotion coming from the crowd. It was so powerful. Pulsing through us, I think. "And it was so bizarre, there was a sort of crunching of our procession, the horses and the carriage and our footsteps, and then the incredible crashing emotion coming in from every side. It was really horrifying." The earl revealed he wrote the eulogy to his sister in his study, a place loved by Princess Diana, and the speech was about speaking for "my sister who was no longer there". His promise at the funeral in 1997 that William and Harry would be protected by "blood family" was seen as an attack on the Royal Family. The earl said he believes Princess Diana would have been proud of his speech, which he re-read to her body a couple days before she was buried. "I know people will think that I am some sort of fruitcake, but I do remember hearing almost some sort of approval then and then I realised then I probably had got some of the thoughts in order. " Reflecting on the eulogy, he said: "I don't feel I said many pointed things. I believe that every word I said was true and it was important for me to be honest. "I wasn't looking to make any jabs at anyone actually, I was trying to celebrate Diana and if by doing that it showed up particularly the press I think in a bad way, well, they had that coming." The earl's eulogy also touched on Princess Diana's eating disorders and also attacked the paparazzi's impact on her life. "In her final years Diana was really brought low by elements of the paparazzi and the tabloids," he said. "I remember she told me about one man that promised to hound her until the day she died, then would urinate on her grave. "So, she was dealing with a very dark side of the media and, even at her funeral, I think it was appropriate to touch on that." The earl said he has re-read his speech for the first time in 20 years and believes it was "very balanced". When asked whether the Queen, who is his godmother, said anything to him about the eulogy, he said a friend had told him she said he had a right to say whatever he felt. "I am not some rabid republican, but the speech was about Diana, it wasn't really about anyone else," he said. Princess Diana was buried in the grounds of Althorp estate, her childhood home in Northamptonshire, after the earl changed plans for her to be laid to rest in the family tombs at a local church. He said it seemed "natural" to bury her at their family home as he "wanted to keep her safe". The earl added: "There was such a whipped up feeling of emotion everywhere that I was very worried about where we could safely bury her. Producers have described the show as "a rousing tale of a simple sea sponge who faces the unfathomable". It will open in Chicago with a limited run in June next year, before going to Broadway. The TV cartoon, first seen in 1999, has spawned two successful cinema films. The Flaming Lips, They Might Be Giants, Lady Antebellum, Panic! At the Disco, and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler have also written songs for the show. Co-creator and director Tina Landau, who is from the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, said it would be different to the TV show. "We're taking our leads from the TV show but this is an original story, with an original design approach, and original songs written just for the occasion by an amazing array of songwriters. "We will present the world of Bikini Bottom and its characters in a whole new way that can only be achieved in the live medium of the theatre." She said the characters will be brought to life "through actors - not prosthetics or costumes that hide them". The show will be produced by Nickelodeon, who created the TV cartoon. Russell Hicks, Nickelodeon's president of content development and production said: "The innovation (Tina Landau) is bringing to the staging is matched with an equally fun and surprising set of original songs we've culled from a dream team of SpongeBob fans who happen to be top-flight musical artists, like David Bowie, John Legend, Cyndi Lauper, Lady Antebellum and TI." David Bowie is such a fan of the show that he voiced a character in 2006. He had described his role as Lord Royal Highness as "the Holy Grail of animation gigs". Since premiering on Nickelodeon in July 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has become as a pop culture phenomenon. It is shown in more than 185 countries and translated into more than 50 languages. The 38-year-old police officer has been named as one of four new referees in Germany's top flight for 2017-18. Steinhaus - the partner of English ex-Premier League and World Cup referee Howard Webb - has refereed second-tier games for six years. "I am aware that I will be the first female referee in the Bundesliga and will be closely watched by the media and the public," Steinhaus said. "For us all, it's a dream come true. I'm very much looking forward to the task that awaits me," she added. Webb, who is now leading efforts to introduce video technology to Major League Soccer, said he was "absolutely thrilled to bits" and believes it could help to inspire more women to reach the top level. He told BBC Radio 5 live he did not think it would be too long before the Premier League had female officials taking charge of games. "We have some good female officials in England, more and more are coming through and if they have the ability it shouldn't make any difference if they are male or female," he added. Steinhaus has faced scrutiny already in German football and admitted: "I have worked very hard for this in the last few years and suffered a few setbacks." When fourth official at a Bayern Munich match in October 2014, then Bayern coach Pep Guardiola put his arm around her shoulders as he argued about a refereeing decision. She brushed his arm off but the Spaniard was subsequently criticised in the media. Fortuna Dusseldorf midfielder Kerem Demirbay was banned for five games in 2015 for saying "women have no place in men's football" after Steinhaus sent him off for a second bookable offence. He later apologised but was ordered by his club to referee a girls' football match as punishment. DFB president Reinhard Grindel said: "Hopefully the first female referee in the Bundesliga is an incentive for many young girls in this country to try to emulate her." Steinhaus will referee the Women's Champions League final between Lyon and Paris St-Germain in Cardiff on 1 June. The woman, in her 30s, and the child were abducted by two men from Redcar seafront at lunchtime on Friday. The pair were taken about four miles to Longbeck Lane, near Yearby, where the woman was raped by both men. They were made to get out of the car six hours later in another area of Redcar. Det Ch Insp Steve Young, of the Cleveland and North Yorkshire Major Investigation Team, said: "The area was busy at the time of the incident as people walked by with their dogs and local workers may have been on their lunch break. "The victim was screaming for help as she was forced into the car. Someone must have seen or heard her. Anyone at all with information is urged to call police." The force is also appealing for information about the two men in a dark-coloured saloon. The driver, in his late 20s or early 30s, was white, with short, brown hair and a large build, police said. He had the word "love" tattooed across his knuckles. The other man was white, in his early 20s, of shorter height and medium build, with brown hair. In a submission to MSPs, their association claims that many thought this year's Higher exam was the worst ever. Meanwhile, the Royal Scottish Geographical Society is warning the popularity of the subject could fall. The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) said this year's exam was set at the right level. The SQA is facing questions from MSPs on Holyrood's education committee on Wednesday. The meeting is designed to scrutinise the organisation's budget but questions can come up on any legitimate topic. A written submission to the committee by the Scottish Association of Geography Teachers highlights concerns some members have about Higher Geography. Of those who took part in a survey, only 10% classed this year's paper as "fair, OK, or better". More than half said it was "poor, shocking, terrible, worst ever and nothing like the specimen or previous paper". Another concern was that there was too much emphasis on human geography - how man uses the environment - and not enough on physical topics such as how valleys are formed, erosion and rock formations. BBC Scotland understands the survey was self-selecting so it is impossible to judge just how representative the teachers who took part in it were. But the Royal Scottish Geographical Society also expressed concerns about geography qualifications and shares the worry that too little emphasis is now placed on physical geography. Chief executive Mike Robinson said: "We have found that the implementation of national courses has proved overly rigid and where the SQA has sought advice it has not been sought as widely or as timeously as it could have been. "Teachers have reported consistently that the guidance given is unclear and has therefore been open to a variety of interpretations, leading to inconsistent implementation across Scotland." The society said a lack of clarity and inconsistency had led to significant pressures on teachers and students alike. It warned of this the risk this could lead to a deterioration in the integrity and popularity of the subject. The SQA said this year's Higher Geography was set at the appropriate standard - the pass mark and the marks needed for particular grades were within the normal range. The authority will also be looking at what changes may be made to the exam in 2018-19. A spokesman said: "We are in regular dialogue with the Scottish Association of Geography Teachers regarding a number of different aspects of the design of Higher Geography. These matters will be considered as we revise the course assessment at Higher level for implementation in the 2018/19 academic year. "The 2016 Higher Geography exam was set at the appropriate standard and provided a good opportunity for candidates studying at Higher level to demonstrate their skills and understanding of the subject. It was designed according to our published course assessment specifications and was in line with published specimen question papers." Some personal submissions to the education committee from current and former teachers in a number of subjects demonstrate other challenges for the SQA. One modern languages teacher said she thought the curriculum for her subjects was "woeful, uninspired and dire to learn and teach". One recently-retired teacher said: "The SQA has sadly devalued the ethos and quality of the SQA qualifications because of the need to recruit (teaching) staff and markers/verifiers who have insufficient experience to do so. This unfortunate circumstance was brought about by the ever increasing workload placed on the more able/experienced staff." He added: "Politics would do well to listen occasionally to teaching staff and the unions." One former principal teacher of chemistry highlighted a number of concerns - some of them historic and pre-dating Curriculum for Excellence. He wrote: "My over-arching concern about the SQA is that it is accountable to nobody. It refuses to respond to legitimate concerns raised by teachers. It seems more concerned with revenue generation than with serving the needs of candidates." It is impossible to say how representative these views are but they echo broad concerns expressed by teachers unions about workload, bureaucracy and stress. The SQA said it placed great importance on the views of all stakeholders. A spokesman said: "We regularly engage with, and listen to, teachers, lecturers and learners and act upon the feedback they provide, in the pursuit of a high-performing Scottish education system which benefits our young people. "Earlier this year we conducted an extensive programme of research into the experiences teachers and learners have had with the National Qualifications. As a result, we created individual subject review reports which detail the evidence-based actions we are putting in place for each subject, many of which will alleviate teacher workloads connected to assessment. "This was part of our ongoing monitoring and evaluation of all our qualifications to ensure they perform as intended and best support the needs of the people and economy of Scotland." Last year the SQA faced tough questions after the pass mark in the Higher Maths exam fell to just 35%. This problem was not repeated this year but there was concern over the quality of the National 5 computing paper. Assistant Group Commander Mark Smith said he believed the blaze at St Peter's High School in Creggan may have been started intentionally. At one point nine fire appliances attended the fire which broke out just before 21:00 BST on Wednesday. Fire-fighters remained at the scene into the early hours of Thursday. Further investigations are to be carried out into the cause of the fire. Mr Smith said: "There has been extensive damage to the roof of the main section of the building and also there was a fire within the building as well. It was heavily smoke-logged." On Wednesday, police advised residents in the vicinity of St Peter's High School to remain indoors due to smoke coming from the building. In July, the former school's canteen was badly damaged in what was also a suspected arson attack. Derry Sinn Féin Councillor Kevin Campbell said it was crucial that "the school be demolished and the site cleared as soon as possible". "This is a large site and very hard to secure 24 hours a day and sadly has become a magnet for much anti-community activity in the area," Mr Campbell said. "Plans have been submitted for over 100 new homes in a social housing project on the site and it will be some way off before any plans become a reality." Alvin, the famous US manned deep-submersible, is nearing the end of a major $41m refit. It will go on a series of engineering test dives in the coming weeks before resuming research duties in May. This remarkable vessel has notched up many firsts during its 49 years of service, not least the discovery of volcanic vents on the Pacific Ocean floor in 1977. Before Alvin's crew saw the vents' extraordinary array of animals thriving in the mineral-rich, hot waters gushing up through cracks in the rock, everyone assumed all the deepest places in the oceans would be like deserts - there would be little or no life. The sub's observations transformed ideas about where and how life could exist, and not just on Earth. Alvin is currently sitting in a workshop at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts. Engineers are on a tight deadline to get the upgrades ready for sea trials that will be conducted off Bermuda in April. Assuming the US Navy certifies all her modifications as fit and ready, the submersible will then be despatched to the Caribbean to resume its science by making a number of descents to the Cayman Trough. "The work we've been doing on her this past couple of years will give her a whole new lease of life," Kurt Uetz, the project manager for the sub's upgrade, told BBC News. The researchers who ride to the bottom in the "new" Alvin should notice a huge difference in the vehicle's capabilities, and especially the conditions in which they themselves have to work. A key upgrade in the National Science Foundation-funded work has been the installation of a new $10m titanium pressure sphere. This is the "cockpit" in which the pilot and two scientists sit for the duration of a dive. Weighing five tonnes, this protective ball is only 16.2cm (6.4in) larger in diameter than Alvin's old sphere, but the visibility it now offers to its crew is greatly improved. "The previous sphere had three viewports - one for each crewmember. The difficulty was that those viewports looked in completely different directions from each other. So you could never see what the other people were seeing," said Susan Humprhis, a WHOI senior scientist. "The new sphere has five viewports, three of them forward-looking, all with overlapping fields of view. The visibility is going to improve immeasurably." British acrylic manufacturers have supplied the thick conical windows. Other improvements include a new flotation foam, a new command-and-control system, better lighting and hi-def cameras, increased data-logging capabilities, and better interfaces with the science instruments. Alvin will also have a greater carrying capacity, doubling the permitted payload to about 180kg (400lb). This load might be experiments taken down to the ocean floor or samples that are brought back up. Many of the changes to the sub, like its new pressure sphere, are there to enable the vessel to go deeper than its previous operational limit of 4,500m. The plan is to permit the sub to dive to 6,500m, giving it access to 98% of the ocean floor. Only some really deep trenches would remain out of reach. Hydrothermal vent systems But this objective is still a little way off. Some elements of the vessel, such as its thrusters and the variable ballast system, have yet to get their overhaul; and until they do, Alvin will not be certified to descend to the new depth. "One thing we'd need is a better energy source," explained Mr Uetz. "Currently, if we go to 4,500m, it's an eight- to 10-hour dive, but to go to 6,500m we're going to need at least 12 hours. So right now we're looking to move from lead-acid to lithium-ion batteries and we're working with the US Navy on a test programme that would allow us to do that." Dr Humphris is impatient. "It's going to be very exciting," she said. "You know, we've see less than 1% of the ocean floor and we still know so little about how ocean processes work. I think we're going to learn a lot more about what the ocean floor really looks like. And the other places we'll be able to go will be the shallower parts of deep-ocean trenches, and those are very active places where there are a lot of earthquakes and which are also associated with volcanoes." The French, the Russians, the Japanese and even the Chinese now have manned subs that can go deeper than Alvin's current limit. People will also recall movie director James Cameron visiting the deepest part of the ocean in a vehicle he himself had commissioned. What none of those vessels can match, of course, is the WHOI vehicle's heritage: a total 4,664 dives over nearly five decades. One thing that will not change in the future is the rule that governs who gets to choose the music played inside the sphere on the long descents and ascents. "Music is at the pilot's discretion," said Mike Skowronski, one of the select group of individuals who gets to take the controls of the famous sub. "Scientists aren't allowed to bring their own music in the vehicle. It's more for the pilot's comfort and keeping him in a certain rhythm and to help him maintain his concentration." [email protected] and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos A Moscow court convicted Mr Poteyev in absentia of treason and desertion, sentencing him to 25 years in jail. He left Russia shortly before the sleeper agents were arrested a year ago and he is now believed to be in the United States. The agents were expelled from the US last year. The military court said Poteyev had overseen the Russian agents in the US as a deputy head of the "S" department of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service. Vladimir Kharitonov, the prosecutor in the case, said he was satisfied with the verdict. "By the court's ruling he is stripped of his military rank and all state decorations." The 10 sleeper agents were expelled by the US last July and exchanged for four Russians who allegedly spied for the West. It was the biggest spy swap since the Cold War. On their return, the Russian sleepers were met by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, and given Russia's top honours by President Dmitry Medvedev. They included Anna Chapman, who has since become a media sensation in Russia, hosting her own television show. Ms Chapman testified that she was caught after an undercover American agent contacted her using a code that only Poteyev and her personal handler knew. She said she immediately felt that something was wrong and called her handler in Moscow who confirmed her suspicions. Ms Chapman and the others were arrested shortly afterwards. Liu Yang, 33, an air force pilot, will join two male colleagues on board the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft, state-run news agency Xinhua says. The spacecraft will dock with the Tiangong 1 space station module, as China bids to establish a permanent space base in orbit. Liu will work on the mission with astronauts Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang. "From day one I have been told I am no different from the male astronauts," Ms Liu was quoted by state broadcaster CCTV as saying before her assignment was announced. "I believe in persevering. If you persevere, success lies ahead of you," she said. Xinhua, which describes her as a veteran pilot who enlisted in the People's Liberation Army in 1997, said she was recruited to be an astronaut in May 2010. The Shenzhou 9 mission, China's fourth manned space flight and its first since 2008, is expected to blast-off at 18:37 local time (10:37 GMT) from the Jiuquan launch centre in China's north-west Gansu province. The astronauts aboard the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft will dock with the Tiangong 1 - an experimental module currently orbiting Earth - and carry out scientific experiments on board. Last year, China completed a complicated space docking manoeuvre when an unmanned craft docked with the Tiangong 1, or Heavenly Body, by remote control. This is China's first manned space docking mission, Xinhua says. Roddy Graham, 27, of Denholm, denies committing the offence on the A698 road near the village in February last year. Before a trial could start at Selkirk Sheriff Court the defence sought more time for expert report preparation - a move which the Crown did not oppose. Kirsty Parker, 34, also of Denholm, died at the scene of the incident. New dates for the trial have been fixed for the jury sitting starting on 8 August with an intermediate hearing on 3 July. Leah Washington, 17, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was on the front row of the Smiler ride, which crashed into an empty carriage in front of it. She posted the picture of herself with 15 people on her Facebook page. The teenager's left leg was amputated above the knee and she also fractured her hand in the crash on 2 June. Miss Washington was among five people seriously injured in the collision, which led to 16 people on the ride being trapped for up to four-and-half hours. Vicky Balch, from Lancashire, who was also sitting on the front row of the carriage, had her right leg amputated below the knee following seven rounds of surgery. Merlin Entertainment Group, which owns the theme park, said all 16 passengers on board would receive compensation. A law firm representing eight of those injured said interim payments were released to help with the victims' rehabilitation at the end of June. Miss Washington's new picture was "liked" by several hundred people on Facebook. The teenager was at Alton Towers with her 18-year-old boyfriend Joe Pugh, who shattered both knees and suffered hand injuries in the incident. Part of the power station collapsed at 16:00 GMT on Tuesday as it was being prepared for demolition. The body of Michael Collings, 53, has been found while three people still unaccounted for are "unlikely to be alive", rescuers said. The partially collapsed building remains unstable and further collapses are possible, the fire service said. Residents have been urged to keep windows and doors shut in case of dust. The fire service said its priority was "to return the missing people to their families". It also said one option being discussed was the demolition of the rest of the building so search teams can safely access the rubble. Deputy chief fire officer Nathan Travis said: "The site remains extremely unstable and so the safety of the teams working on site has to be our first consideration." A post-mortem examination showed Mr Collings died from multiple injuries. McNeill skippered the club to the European Cup in 1967 in a career spanning a record 790 appearances, and yielding 31 major honours. "To now think that I will be honoured alongside such great men as Brother Walfrid and Jock Stein really does fill me with great pride," said McNeill. "To be recognised in this way, by the club I love, is truly humbling." The statue is made in bronze and sits on a granite base. The plinth is engraved on all four sides with McNeill's achievements as a player and manager, the names of the players who brought the European Cup to Celtic and a quote from former manager Jock Stein. As a player McNeill won nine league championships, seven Scottish Cups, six League Cups as well as his continental triumph. As a manager, he won four league titles, three Scottish Cups and a solitary League Cup. "I have had the honour and privilege of knowing Billy for many years now, and while there is sometimes caution offered in wanting to meet your heroes, in Billy's case he is everything you would ever expect from Celtic's greatest ever captain, and so much more," Celtic's chief executive, Peter Lawwell, told the club website. "Billy's statue will stand at the beginning of The Celtic Way, proud and imposing - just as Billy was as a player - to welcome visitors to our stadium, and I am delighted to be part of this very special occasion today. "I know that Billy, Liz and their family feel honoured by the decision to erect this statue, but as every Celtic supporter would testify, the honour has been ours in enjoying Billy's lifetime of devoted service to our club." McNeill's former teammate, and another of the Lisbon Lions who claimed the European Cup in 1967, Bertie Auld addressed the large gathering of supporters, as well as the present playing contingent. "Billy was a magnificent captain," he said. "More than that, he was a magnificent man. He wasn't just a centre back, he was a goal-scorer as well. "When I was at Birmingham there were clubs every week wanting to sign him but he was Celtic through and through. He, and every single one of us did, loved speaking about the history of Celtic. Look at Billy when he was manager, he still had that passion." Present manager Ronny Deila and his playing contingent were also in attendance as the statue was undraped. "It was very special; it was almost too much for me," Deila told BBC Scotland. "So I'm very happy to have been there, it's a great thing for a great man and a legend in the club. "You talk about his performances but you also talk about what he is as a man and his values and that's so important. "It shows how much this club means for the people and what's been achieved here before. We are very lucky to be here." It gets their season back on track after three straight defeats. Dumbarton made them sweat for the points though as second half strikes from substitute Ryan Stevenson and Robert Thomson made for an uncomfortable finale. However, they were reduced to 10 men when Gregor Buchanan received a second yellow card. Left back McHattie broke the deadlock for the home side with a well driven shot for his second league goal of the campaign. Then a two-goals-in-two-minutes burst threatened to put the result beyond Dumbarton's redemption, starting with Callachan's strike with the aid of a deflection. The Sons hardly had time to recover from that before Roberts lashed in a 20 yard effort for his first goal since moving to the Kirkcaldy club on loan from Rangers. However, Stevenson started the comeback with a stunning 25 yard drive before Thomson scrambled a second from close range. The first half display was exactly the response Rovers boss Gary Locke was demanding after them being knocked out of the Irn Bru Cup by Forfar and losses in the league to Falkirk and Queen of the South. All the more positive as influential captain Jason Thomson was missing through injury and the defender could be out for a while depending on the result of a visit to a specialist next week. His place went to Liam Smith who was brought in on an emergency loan from Hearts on Friday and he slotted well until the Raith defence were caught out twice late on. First Stevenson lashed a stunning drive from 25 yards in to the left hand corner of Kevin Cuthbert's net to spoil to goalkeeper's return from injury. Not that he had much to do up till then but when Thomson claimed his third goal of the season he had a few nervy moments before the home side finally closed out the win. Dumbarton's hopes of levelling weren't helped when Gregor Buchanan was sent off two minutes from time for a second yellow card and the Sons have now won just once in 12 games in all competitions this season.

A woman who is not even a candidate in this election; whose party is running in just one of the four nations and which, even if it does as spectacularly well as some polls suggest, would have just one in 13 MPs in Westminster pledged to build not just a "stronger Scotland" but a "better and more progressive politics for everyone" in the UK. Nicola Sturgeon showed once again why she is the undoubted star of this general election campaign and why she says her Inbox is filled with emails from voters from outside Scotland who want the chance to vote SNP. In a confident performance she declared that an end to austerity was the SNP's number one priority. She spelt out what SNP MPs would back - a mansion tax, a bankers bonus tax and a new 50p top rate of income tax - as well what they would oppose - Trident, the "bedroom tax" and cuts to disability benefits. Her headline pledge was to vote for an increase in NHS spending bigger than any other party has so far promised - ??9.5bn above inflation in England by 2021 which implies a total increase on spending on the NHS in Scotland of ??2bn by 2021. This is very interesting because only last year the independent Institute of Fiscal Studies reported that between 2009-10 and 2015-16 NHS Scotland cut spending by around 1% whereas the Westminster government has increased spending on the English NHS by around 4%. They concluded that "Scottish Governments in Holyrood have placed less priority on funding the NHS in Scotland (and more on funding other services) than governments in Westminster have for England". It's a finding the Scottish Government disputes. When I put this to the Scottish Government a spokesperson said: "We have met our commitment to increase NHS Scotland's resource budget in real terms every year, and that has seen a 5% real terms increase in the five years to 2015-16. Scotland's frontline health service budget now stands at an all-time record of more than ??12bn a year - and funding is higher per head than in the rest of the UK. "In terms of capital investment in the NHS, the IFS analysis did not take into account the value of our non-profit distributing (NPD) capital investment in the health service. In 2015/16 alone this amounts to more than ??380m. When this is taken into account, total health investment in Scotland - encompassing both resource and capital - has increased in cash terms by ??1.5bn from 2009/10 to 2015/16. In real terms it has increased by ??179m, an increase of 1.5%." I am still trying to get the bottom of how these two sets of figures can be reconciled. One key reason is that the IFS did not include capital spending in their study. Incidentally, another report - by the Nuffield Trust - found that Scottish governments (both SNP and, before them, Labour) had spent less on health than England between 2000/01 and 2012/13, building up a surplus of about ??900m to spend on, for example, free care for the elderly. One reason for this may be that historically spending on the Scottish NHS has been significantly higher than on the NHS in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. When I interviewed Nicola Sturgeon in January I asked her about the IFS report. So far there has been a great deal of scrutiny of what the SNP might do if they sweep to victories across Scotland and there is a hung parliament but not very much scrutiny of their detailed policy proposals. Perhaps now there will be because whether you love the idea of the SNP shaping politics throughout the UK or loathe it there is no doubt that the party's rise is the story of this election so far. Uncharacteristically, Nicola Sturgeon stumbled ever so slightly just once today when she began to suggest that she would be going to Westminster and then quickly corrected herself. Perhaps that's because the woman who's not even running knows that she is dominating the hopes and the fears of David Cameron and Ed Miliband. Neither of them would ever dare say "I agree with Nic" but all know that many many people do and she looks set to play a crucial role not just in deciding who our next prime minister is but what they can do in office. I promised to try to reconcile the IFS statement about spending on the NHS in Scotland and the Scottish government's own figures. Since the IFS wrote their report both the Westminster and Holyrood governments have announced increases in NHS spending and the rate of inflation has dropped. Taking this into account the IFS now conclude that English health spending has increased by 6% in real terms between 2009-10 and 2015-16 whilst Scottish health spending has gone up roughly 1% in real terms in the same period. The IFS says you cannot compare "NHS Scotland" figures with figures for the UK Department for Health as they exclude things like primary care, dentistry, training and would therefore not be comparing like-for-like. So in conclusion health spending has increased in Scotland but by less than in England. This is in the context of Scotland having to make fewer cuts overall than have been made in England. Hull stuttered in their play-off second leg as they lost 2-0 at Derby County, but went through 3-2 on aggregate. "If we do get to the heights then it takes a very, very good team to beat us," Bruce told BBC Radio Humberside. "It's a really difficult league but we've given ourselves an outstanding chance of getting promoted." He continued: "We have none of the excuses, now we've had 10 days to prepare and a whole week to build up to face a good Sheffield side. "We are capable of putting in an awful performance, which usually happens in the second or the third game in a short period of time, but we know we can perform." In an 18-year managerial career, Saturday will be Bruce's first trip to Wembley to watch his team compete in a play-off final. City are likely to be without first-choice goalkeeper Allan McGregor, who has kept 18 clean sheets in 44 appearances this season. McGregor missed both legs against Derby because of a back injury, with Eldin Jakupovic deputising. Hull and The Owls drew both of their meetings in the Championship this season, with Bruce's side finishing nine points above sixth-placed Wednesday. "It's easy practising on a training ground; it's like practising penalties, every one of them smashes into a top corner, no problem," added Bruce. "That goal shrinks a little bit when you are in front of 100,000 and what's at stake. It's about handling the occasion." At least 20 others were wounded in the blast at the Kano School of Hygiene. The city has been targeted in the past by the radical Islamist group Boko Haram, which aims to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria. Three states to the east of Kano are under a government-imposed emergency after years of militant attacks. Kano State police spokesman Magaji Majiya, who confirmed the attack, said eight people had been killed and many others with horrific injuries had been taken to hospital for treatment. The BBC's Mansur Liman, in the capital Abuja, says the blast occurred as students were struggling to meet a deadline to register for the new academic session. He says the area has been cordoned off and emergency services are continuing to take the injured to hospital. One person has been arrested, according to the police. A teacher at the college told the AFP news agency that the blast seemed to originate from a car park next to the post-secondary training school. The latest incident comes less than a week after some 21 people were killed in a bomb blast outside a shop in Yobe state where people had gathered to watch a World Cup match. Public screenings of the World Cup in some parts of Nigeria have been banned because of threats by Boko Haram, who want to overthrow the government. Boko Haram - which means "Western education is forbidden" in the Hausa language - captured international attention in April after it abducted more than 200 girls in Chibok in Borno state. The states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa have been under a state of emergency since May 2013. Thousands have died in the north-east since Boko Haram launched an insurgency in 2009. Nigeria's military has promised increased security but there are still daily reports of attacks on villages in parts of the north-east. Kano is the largest city in the mainly Muslim north of Nigeria. In January 2012, about 150 people died in a series of co-ordinated attacks in the city by Boko Haram. Caparo Tubes in Tredegar closed in October with the loss of 17 jobs. It was part of 452 jobs lost in the UK after administrators were called into Caparo Group. New owners Liberty House - which is also bidding for Tata Steel UK's business - called the reopening "great news for the UK steel industry". The factory, based on the Tafarnaubach industrial estate, will be supplied in future with hot rolled coil from Liberty Steel in nearby Newport rather than having to import it. The factory was set up by Labour peer Lord Paul in 1977 as part of his Caparo group. Making tubes for engineering projects like gas, mining and tunnelling, in its heyday it employed between 100 and 200 people. The group's tube businesses were bought last November by Liberty House, which is now ready to restart production in Tredegar and hopes to increase the workforce to around 40. Sanjeev Gupta, chairman of Liberty House, said: "Steel tube is a vital link in the supply chain and adds to the integration which is essential for the sector." The company is contacting former workers from the plant and plans to expand its product range as well as hiring apprentices. In September, Danny Heinrich, 53, led investigators to the remains of Jacob Wetterling, buried in a field. As part of a plea deal he faced no charges for the boy's death. The sentence handed down at the federal court in Minneapolis was the maximum the law allowed. At an emotional court hearing on Monday, Heinrich apologised to the Wetterling family, saying he was "truly sorry for the evil acts". He told Jacob's parents and siblings his actions were "heinous" and "unforgivable". Although Heinrich could be eligible for release after 17 years, state authorities could find ways to prevent him from ever going free, US media report. Jacob Wetterling was abducted by a masked gunman in 1989 cycling home from a video store with his brother and a friend in the city of St Joseph. Heinrich was questioned early in the investigation but maintained his innocence. He was named a person of interest in October 2015 when authorities re-examined the case on its 25th anniversary. A search of Heinrich's home in Annandale last year found child pornography. In a deal with prosecutors, Heinrich agreed to admit one count of receiving child pornography with a sentence of 20 years in exchange for revealing the whereabouts of Jacob Wetterling. In a chilling court appearance in September, Heinrich gave details of the abduction and killing. With his victim's parents looking on, Heinrich said that when he had dragged the boy into his car, Jacob had asked: "What did I do wrong?" He said he had driven the boy to a gravel pit, assaulted him and then shot him in the head. After his abduction, Jacob's mother, Patty Wetterling, became an advocate for missing children. She and husband Jerry set up the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, which aims to prevent the exploitation of children. In 1994, Congress passed laws bearing Jacob Wetterling's name that require states to establish sex offender registries. KCNA news agency said the American, named "Miller Matthew Todd", 24, had been taken into custody on 10 April. This was due to "his rash behaviour in the course of going through formalities for entry" into North Korea, it added. The news was released as US President Barack Obama held talks with his South Korean counterpart on his Asia tour. KCNA said Mr Todd had torn up his tourist visa, shouting that he had "come to the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) after choosing it as a shelter". The agency said such an action constituted a "gross violation" of North Korean law. No reason was given for the two-week delay in the announcement of his detention. The US has no ties with Pyongyang, with Sweden usually acting on its behalf in cases involving US citizens. The US state department said it was aware of the report and had been in touch with the Swedish embassy. North Korea is currently holding US-Korean missionary Kenneth Bae, who was arrested in November 2012. He is serving 15 years of hard labour after being convicted of trying to overthrow the government. Efforts from Washington to secure Mr Bae's release have so far been unsuccessful. Merrill Newman, an 85-year-old US national, was briefly held by North Korea last year. He was freed after confessing to committing crimes during the Korean War - a statement he said was given under duress. US President Obama earlier said America stood "shoulder to shoulder" with South Korea over North Korean provocation. He spoke after holding talks with South Korean leader Park Geun-hye. The Argentina forward cracked in an early first goal in the Group C match. Celtic's Moussa Dembele had a penalty saved before Messi poked in his second. In the second half, Neymar's free-kick sailed into the net, Andres Iniesta volleyed a fourth, Messi slid home the fifth and Luis Suarez scored with a volley and then a side-footed finish. In their two full seasons together at the Nou Camp, Messi, Neymar and Suarez have scored a combined 253 goals and assisted 120 more. Those numbers are rising quickly in the early weeks of this season - 266 goals and 128 assists - and in this latest masterclass, Messi got a hat-trick and Neymar a goal and four assists. They are - more often than not - unplayable. All of the weaknesses in Celtic's make-up - and there were so many - were ruthlessly exposed. Messi scored after just three minutes when Neymar slid the ball through a spooked defence. Celtic won a penalty against the run of play when Dembele was brought down by Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but the striker had his effort saved by the Barcelona goalkeeper. After that, the floodgates opened. Messi's second came after he and Neymar combined to bamboozle the Celtic defence, Messi walking it in for number two. Barca's speed of thought and movement was delicious. Football, yes, but not as anybody in Scotland knows it. Neymar's 50th-minute free-kick made it three, Celtic goalkeeper Dorus de Vries getting a touch but not a big enough touch. De Vries should have done better. The torture just got worse. Iniesta came on at the break and scored the fourth, thumping Neymar's cross on the volley past De Vries. Celtic's brains were spinning. Within 76 seconds the fifth had arrived, Suarez putting it into the box for Messi to slide in for his hat-trick goal. Suarez added the sixth, taking down Neymar's dinked pass on his chest before turning and rifling it home. This was Celtic's heaviest ever defeat in Europe even before Messi assisted once again for the seventh, which Suarez. scored. Celtic are just another in a long line of Barca victims. The Catalans have done this kind of thing to so many teams in the recent past and that is the only consolation for the visitors. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said on Monday that great players always find space no matter what their opponents try to do to stop them. Barca had the freedom of the Nou Camp - and they revelled in it to make Celtic suffer. Match ends, Barcelona 7, Celtic 0. Second Half ends, Barcelona 7, Celtic 0. Offside, Celtic.

The Blues have made a disappointing start to their Premier League title defence, having won just two of their first eight games. Mourinho has been backed by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and Cahill says the players are also behind him. "We are all around him," Cahill, who will captain England against Estonia on Friday, told BBC Radio 5 live. "Dare I say he doesn't even need backing when you have done so much in the game, not just at Chelsea but in other leagues too. "It is obviously nice to have that and he certainly has it from the players and the club." This has been Chelsea's worst start to a top-flight season since 1978-79, and last Saturday's 3-1 defeat at home to Southampton was their fifth loss of the season. "The Southampton game for me personally was a real low," added Cahill, who will take over as captain from the injured Wayne Rooney for England's final two Euro 2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania. "I have come away here totally determined to make it right when I get back." The research team discovered the virus in the brains of two babies who only lived for 48 hours. The mosquito-borne virus is thought to cause microcephaly in babies, who are born with damaged brains and abnormally small heads. Brazil has about 460 confirmed cases of microcephaly, and is investigating about 3,850 suspected cases. The virus has spread throughout Latin-America, but Brazil has been hardest hit. Scientists told the BBC that samples taken from the brain tissue of the two babies showed that the Zika virus was still actively present. The research was conducted by scientists from Rio's Federal University (UFRJ), Fiocruz Institute and Paraiba's Professor Amorim Neto Research Institute. The scientists have been following the pregnancies of 10 women in the north-eastern state of Paraiba - the second worst-hit by cases of microcephaly. Rio Open: Rafael Nadal 'not scared' of Zika virus Rio Olympics 2016: Non Stanford not worried by Zika outbreak Brazil's race to find a vaccine Read more about the Zika virus One of the researchers who made the possible connection between Zika and brain defects, Dr Adriana Melo, told the BBC that cases she has seen in the north-east of Brazil "are never microcephaly alone" - but include other brain disorders such as dilated ventricles, calcifications and contractures to the joints. The BBC's Julia Carneiro in Rio de Janeiro says that the findings add more evidence to results announced last week by scientists in the US and Slovenia who detected the virus in samples from other babies with microcephaly. On Monday, a team at the PUC-Parana University in the south of Brazil also announced to have found the virus in tissues taken from babies with microcephaly who died after birth. On Saturday Brazil said it was deploying more than 200,000 soldiers across the country to warn people about the risks of the virus. President Dilma Rousseff has insisted the crisis would not "compromise" the Olympics Brazil is hosting in August. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global public health emergency over the possible connection between Zika and microcephaly. While the link with Zika has not been confirmed, the WHO and other public health bodies have said it is strongly suspected. The microcephaly cases have been centred in north-east Brazil, but the Zika outbreak has affected people in more than 20 countries in the Americas.

Mr Duterte said the EU parliament was acting out of guilt after it called on him to halt "the current wave of extrajudicial executions and killings". He said "hypocritical" former colonial powers like France and Britain were trying to atone for their own sins. Since Mr Duterte took office on 30 June about 3,000 people have been killed. They have been killed either by police or vigilantes, after the new president effectively sanctioned the murder of criminals and drugs dealers. Saying the unsayable: Philippine President Duterte The killings have been widely condemned internationally. The European Parliament said it was concerned about the "extraordinarily high numbers killed during police operations... in the context of an intensified anti-crime and anti-drug campaign", and asked Mr Duterte to launch an "immediate" investigation. Baron's daughter killed in Philippines But the president hit back angrily, saying the European Parliament's colonial-era ancestors killed "thousands" of Arabs and other peoples. "They're taking the high ground to assuage their feelings of guilt. But who did I kill? "Assuming it to be true - 1,700, who are they? Criminals. You call that genocide," he told officials in Davao. "Now the EU has the gall to condemn me." Members of the European parliament are not the only ones to feel the sharp edge of Mr Duterte's tongue. Here are five other politicians and world leaders he has insulted: The 71-year-old also swore repeatedly during the outburst, and raised his middle finger in a gesture of defiance. Mr Duterte said on Sunday he needed to extend his crime war for another six months because the drug problem was worse than he expected, adding on Tuesday that he would shield police and soldiers from prosecution.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte launched an expletive-laden attack on the European Union after it condemned his brutal crackdown on crime.

Staff noticed rat droppings in a number of classrooms at St Teresa's Primary School, the BBC understands. It is understood that the droppings were found on Wednesday, the day before term was due to start. Headmaster Terry Rodgers said he hoped the school would open as normal on Monday 5 September. Parents of the 450 pupils at the school were contacted to advise them of the closure. "We have had to close St Teresa's for an additional two days at the start of the new school term due to confirmation we received that the school had a rodent issue," said Mr Rodgers in a statement. "I can assure parents that the school is dealing with the problem as swiftly as possible. "Once we have carried out a deep clean of the school we hope to be open as normal next week. "I will be in touch with parents to keep them up to date." The Education Authority (EA) and Council for Catholic Maintained Schools (CCMS) had been consulted on the decision, said the school. The French scored two first-half tries, the second a fine individual effort by winger Caroline Boujard, to take a 15-6 lead into the interval. Irish captain Niamh Briggs kicked two penalties to keep her side in touch. A single French penalty was the only score of the second half and the hosts are now unbeaten after two matches. France began their campaign with a 39-0 trouncing of Italy last weekend, while Ireland had beaten Wales 21-3 in Dublin. Audrey Abadie kicked an early penalty for the home side but Briggs levelled when her kick at goal went over off the upright in the 14th minute. Gaëlle Mignot crossed the line for the first try of the game after 19 minutes, before Boujard ran from inside her own half to extend her side's advantage four minutes later, Abadie converting. Another Briggs penalty just after the half hour mark reduced the deficit to nine points, then Boujard landed the only score of the second half. Ireland's next match is a trip to Twickenham to face England in two weeks' time, while France are away to Wales.

By the time he endeared himself to television audiences in the BBC's All Creatures Great and Small, he had already carved out a reputation as one of Britain's most versatile actors. While his earlier career gave him a firm grounding in the theatre his best known roles were in front of the camera - particularly in television, a medium he obviously enjoyed. He became something of a specialist in the role of Sir Winston Churchill, playing the great man on half a dozen occasions as well as being in demand to reproduce the wartime leader's voice. Timothy Sydney Robert Hardy was born in Cheltenham on 29 October 1925. The youngest of a large family, he was a self-professed "odd child". His father was the headmaster of Cheltenham College and Hardy himself went to Rugby School before going up to Magdalen College, Oxford to read English. It was while at Oxford that he struck up an enduring friendship with a fellow student, Richard Burton and both men found their studies interrupted when they were called up and posted to an RAF station in Norfolk. Unlike Burton, Hardy returned to Oxford after his war service and gained a BA (Hons) in English as well as having enjoyed the opportunity to study under two of Oxford's most eminent names, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. He had always been fascinated by Hollywood films and had determined to become an actor, joining the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in 1949. He was once asked what was needed to be successful in such a competitive profession. "A certain amount of talent, luck, a spine of steel, a ruthlessness of mind that does not jib at murder and patience," he replied. He was much in demand as a stage actor during the 1950s mainly playing Shakespearean roles, although he did make his first foray into cinema in 1958 playing a naval officer in the Glenn Ford film Torpedo Run. He turned down Sir Peter Hall's offer of a contract with the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1960, complaining that it was for middle-of-the-roadish parts. "I stormed at him one day and I behaved extremely badly," he said. He was reunited with his friend Richard Burton in the 1965 film, The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, where he played the role of Dick Carlton. A year later he was given his first continuing role as the ruthless businessman Alex Stewart in the BBC production, The Troubleshooters, a drama based on a fictitious oil company called Mogul. In 1978, Hardy took the part of the irascible but good-natured Siegfried Farnon in All Creatures Great and Small, the long-running BBC series based on James Herriot's best-selling books. As the senior vet of the small Yorkshire Dales practice, Robert Hardy became one of the best-known faces on British television. Full of animals, nostalgia and rural scenery, the show became a massive hit, attracting audiences of up to 20 million. The original run ended in 1978 but the series was revived 10 years later after the BBC obtained permission to write new storylines, having exhausted the original James Herriot books. But the new scripts failed to meet with Hardy's approval and he rewrote large parts of his dialogue. "All they did was make Siegfried explode and be bad-tempered. I kept changing things." Hardy cornered the market in the role of blustering aristocrat, often dressed in tweed. He appeared in The Far Pavilions, The Cleopatras, Bramwell and Middlemarch, and on the big screen in The Shooting Party and Sense and Sensibility. He explained: "When you've lived a goodish span as I have, it's a case of roaming round the attic and borrowing a few characters." Despite this range, Robert Hardy's own volatility and ability to express his wrath were channelled most successfully into his many portrayals of Britain's most revered premier. He played Winston Churchill many times, even once in French on stage in Paris, but most memorably in the 1981 mini-series The Wilderness Years. Hardy said himself of his complete immersion into the character, "My family complained loudly about my behaviour while I was playing him." He was married twice and had three children. Awarded a CBE in 1981 for his services to acting, Hardy was also a keen student of military history and supported the project to raise the Mary Rose. In 1995, he gave up his long-time home in Oxfordshire, to become laird of a Scottish mansion, a 13th Century miniature castle situated near Edinburgh, complete with a walled garden and 50-foot tower. The actor had visited the place as a child and sworn always to return, following in the footsteps of a previous visitor, Sir Walter Scott, one of Hardy's personal heroes. In later years he suffered from cancer of the colon, but recovered to resume as busy a career as ever, including film work. Although he failed to make the lasting impact on Hollywood enjoyed by some British actors, his face became known the world over when he appeared as the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, in several of the Harry Potter films. He was dropped from the role after the studio balked at paying a £1 million life insurance premium which was demanded because of his advancing age. Off screen he became something of an authority on the English longbow, his interest having been stimulated when, as a child, he found two of the weapons in the family attic . He wrote two books on the history of the weapon as well as presenting a BBC documentary on the subject. Hardy's on-screen temper was matched by a famously short fuse away from the camera and he admitted that, as an actor, he belonged to a set of "difficult people". He once reflected: "The ego may be essential for survival in the wilderness of acting, but it's something that requires a great deal of control if you're going to make a success of life." Freedom Refreshments is a UK-wide group that employs 160 people. It turned over £16m in 2016. It is Tayto's third acquisition in England this year after it bought a snack company and a majority stake in a popcorn business. The company said the deal allowed Tayto to "increase our presence significantly within this sector". "While we have a strong share of the vending market in Northern Ireland, we only had limited reach into GB," said Paul Allen, the group's chief executive. Tayto has established a new company, Montagu Group, to hold the vending machine business. Meanwhile the Tayto Group's annual results for 2016 showed a pre-tax profit of £2.9m on turnover of £163m. The group employed 1,400 people during the year paying salaries worth £29m. The best-paid director received renumeration of just under £900,000. The Tayto Group has been owned by the Hutchinson family since 1956 and is the third-largest snack manufacturer in the UK. The Arclight, a cheap, solar-powered ophthalmoscope, was designed by researchers at St Andrews University. It is aimed at helping health workers in poorer countries to detect the signs of blindness. The small device enables healthcare workers to make instant diagnostic decisions. A study led by the International Centre for Eye Health in London found it performed as well as traditional devices costing up to 100 times as much. Few hospital-based doctors in poorer countries have the essential instruments to help reveal major conditions that result in blindness, such as trachoma, cataract, glaucoma and diabetes, according to researchers. In collaboration with the Fred Hollows Foundation and the International Agency for Prevention of Blindness, thousands of the instruments have already been distributed to countries including Malawi, Ethiopia, Kenya and Fiji. Dr Andrew Blaikie, a clinical academic at the university, helped lead a team of researchers which also included scientists from the University of Leicester and University College London. He said: "Arclight is the result of years of hard work by a small team of enthusiasts. "These efforts have brought simple, frugal yet highly effective tools to healthcare workers who would otherwise be unable to make the early diagnoses needed to prevent needless blindness. "The work of the global health team at St Andrews has helped focus attention on the exact needs and challenges of healthcare workers in low-income countries." Dr Blaikie said the team was now hoping to add internal memory to the device, which would be loaded with teaching material, and a means of allowing image capture by mobile phones. Prof David Harrison, director of research in the medical school at St Andrews, said: "Arclight shows how university, health services, industry and partners overseas can work together to meet global needs in a realistic and effective manner. "We will be providing this versatile and clever instrument to our medical students as they enter clinical training." The Crues trail leaders Linfield by two points, while Glenavon lie in fifth. Meanwhile Glentoran's Director of Football Roy Coyle will take charge for his side's trip to Warrenpoint Town following Eddie Patterson's dismissal. Basement club Warrenpoint are without rib injury victim Darren King and the suspended Jordan Dane, while Mark Clarke is doubtful with a foot injury. 'Point manager Barry Gray is also missing long-term casualties Johnny Parr and John McGuigan. Michael McNamee presents coverage of all six Irish Premiership matches on Saturday Sportsound. Joel Taggart and Tommy Breslin will be at Seaview to watch Crusaders play Glenavon while Grant Cameron and Liam Beckett take in Coleraine against Cliftonville at Ballycastle Road. The programme will also have reports from the remainder of the afternoon's games and news of the rest of the day's sporting action. Sportsound on BBC Radio Ulster from 14:00 BST Linfield will hope to have Andy Waterworth, who has scored 12 goals in 11 Premiership outings, back in their squad after injury for the visit of Carrick Rangers to Windsor Park. Coleraine's early-season form has been boosted by the goalscoring exploits of striker James McLaughlin, who has bagged five goals in five games and 10 for the season. "We have a really good changing room at the moment. We have a very tight group of players and there is a real togetherness among the squad," said Bannsiders boss Oran Kearney ahead of his side's game against Cliftonville at Ballycastle Road. Cliftonville boss Gerard Lyttle has bolstered his squad by signing former Celtic winger Paul George and he knows his team face a tough task against an outfit "who have got a bit of momentum going". "We have achieved some good results but we have to continue to work hard and try to improve. I can't speak highly enough of the application of the players," said Lyttle. Meanwhile Ballymena United manager Glenn Ferguson has urged his players to be more clinical in front of goal as they prepare to play struggling Dungannon Swifts at the Showgrounds. The Swifts are without banned midfielder Jamie Glackin as they aim to halt a run of four consecutive league defeats, while the hosts have themselves gone three matches without picking up a point. "There are four teams being cut adrift at the bottom of the table and whoever can put together a run of two or three wins in a row out of five or six games has a chance to pull themselves clear," argued Swifts manager Darren Murphy. Portadown entertain a Ballinamallard United side who are without influential midfielder Cathal Beacom, ruled out of the visit to Shamrock Park with a hamstring problem. Beacom could be absent for three weeks, but on the plus side, Stephen Feeney has recovered from a calf complaint in time to take his place in the squad. Danske Bank Premiership fixtures - Saturday 24 October - 15:00 BST kick-offs Ballymena United v Dungannon Swifts Coleraine v Cliftonville Crusaders v Glenavon Linfield v Carrick Rangers Portadown v Ballinamallard Utd Warrenpoint Town v Glentoran Reid and partner Alfie Hewett came from a set down to beat the French pair Stephane Houdet and Nicolas Peifer 4-6 6-1 7-6 (8-6). The second seeds are the first Britons to capture the title. "The able-bodied players are starting to enjoy watching and I think they really respect us now as athletes," Reid told BBC Scotland. "I think there's a mutual respect. I've seen the change from the first times I played in Grand Slams three or four years ago. "It's high level sport and hopefully we can build on that and more and more people can see it like that." Reid's latest victory means he has now won three of the four major doubles titles. He will have to put celebrations on hold, however. On Sunday he has the chance to make history, bidding to become the first winner of the newly-introduced singles, with Sweden's Stefan Olsson standing in his way. Reid, who won the singles title at the Australian Open earlier this year, describes the chance of playing singles at Wimbledon as a "dream come true". "I feel fit. I've felt good all week on the grass," said the 24-year-old. "It's has been tough, but my body's been feeling good." Reid takes to the court before Andy Murray takes on Milos Raonic in the men's singles final on Centre Court and is sure his fellow Scot will deliver his second Wimbledon title. "I'm sure 100 % he can win," he said. "He's done it before and he's playing great tennis, he looks really confident. I'll be supporting him all the way." The former world number one is under sedation in a French hospital after a fall on the cross-country course at the World Young Horse Championships. Fox-Pitt, 46, was thrown to the ground when his uninjured horse hit a fence. "There has been a tremendous amount of support from everyone," said Team GB equestrian chief Yogi Breisner. Father-of-four Fox-Pitt, who is married to Channel 4 racing presenter Alice Plunkett, is GB's most successful rider with 20 major championship medals. On Tuesday night, Plunkett tweeted that her husband "remains stable and under sedation. He is in great hands and is progressing well. Thank you again for all your support". Fox-Pitt's achievements include three Olympic team podium finishes and six European team gold medals for Great Britain. He won this year's Badminton Horse Trials on his horse Chilli Morning. "William has been on just about every British team for the last 20 years. He has been a fantastic ambassador," Breisner told BBC Sport. "He has been number one in the world, had more four-star rides than any other rider, and has won individual medals at World and European Championships." Fox-Pitt, who is based at Sturminster Newton in Dorset, was competing on Reinstated in the seven-year-old class at Le Lion-d'Angers. "He is is being monitored but the hospital haven't given any timings whatsoever," said Breisner. "They just don't know and it will depend on how the brain reacts and when they bring him out of sedation." Fox-Pitt is not thought to have any other significant injuries and the sedation is a way of protecting the brain from swelling. "There has been a tremendous amount of support from everyone. Our thoughts are with William and his family. He is in one of the leading hospitals in France and is being taken care of by specialists," added Breisner. The purchasing manager's index (PMI) was 51.2 in April, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said, down from a near five-year high of 51.8 in March. A figure above 50 shows growth in the sector, a key driver of wider growth in the world's second biggest economy. The first quarter of 2017 has seen an acceleration in China's GDP growth as well as a rebound in retail spending. Robust trade data has also helped ease concerns about the strength of the economy following last year's slowdown. "Although the PMI has dropped slightly, we can also see the steady accumulation of positive factors," NBS analyst Zhao Qinghe said in a statement. Mr Zhao also highlighted increased production of consumer goods and improvements in small business activity as positive signs for the economy. However analysts said growth may slow in the second quarter. "The still-high output and new orders sub-indices suggest growth momentum likely remained resilient in April, albeit slower than in a strong March," Zhao Yang of Nomura said in a note. "Looking ahead, we see downside pressures looming and maintain our call for a shallow slowdown through the course of this year." Betty Wang of ANZ Research wrote in a note that the April data "suggests that China's manufacturing activity might have retreated from its peak" in the first quarter. The centre-right governing coalition has vowed to continue austerity policies in place since 2011, after it was forced to seek a eurozone bailout. The Socialists and other left-wing groups have criticised the cuts. President Anibal Cavaco Silva called for a high turnout on Sunday, saying Portugal was facing a crucial moment. The BBC's Alison Roberts in Lisbon says years of austerity have left Portugal's electorate deeply split, and with an unusually large number of undecided voters. Socialist leader Antonio Costa has said that only a vote for his party is a "useful vote" against the government. The centre-right Social Democratic Party led by Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho, and its right-wing ally, the People's Party, have put up joint lists of candidates in all electoral districts. Unemployment has been falling for two and a half years, but many regard the recovery as fragile.

The FTSE sectors issuing most warnings were support services (11), travel and leisure (8), non-life insurance (5) and software and computer services (5). Firms must warn when earnings look like being less than previously expected. The report says profit warnings from industrial and commodity sectors have fallen significantly since the end of 2015, helped by an improving global economy. But it says the impact of a weaker pound and rising pricing pressures "loom large". Some 28% of warnings cited rising costs and pressure on prices, compared with 15% in 2016. And another 28% of warnings cited contract delays or cancellations. "Improving global growth and the positive impact of a weaker pound on exports, combined with falling expectations in stressed areas, should limit the number of profit warnings in the near-term," said Alan Hudson of EY. "However, increased overheads, political and regulatory change, and digital disruption are piling pressure on sectors with long-standing structural issues, especially in consumer and business services. "Periods of rapid change often leave companies behind and the next few years are unlikely to prove an exception." The 19-year-old's contract at Old Trafford expired this summer and he had been expected to leave. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson told MUTV: "Pogba signed for Juventus a long time ago as far as we're aware. Which is disappointing. Pogba will be up against the likes of Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo, Milos Krasic, Felipe Melo and Simone Pepe for a place in the Juventus midfield "I don't think he showed us any respect at all so, to be honest, I'm quite happy." Pogba joined United from Le Havre in 2009 but made just a handful of substitute appearances, with his last outing coming in the 5-0 win over Wolves last March. Ferguson also confirmed that he is in the dark over the future of left-back Ezekiel Fryers. Fryers, 19, is also out of contract but is expected back for pre-season training this week. "We haven't heard anything from Zeki Fryers," Ferguson said. "I don't know what's happening there but he's not been in touch with the club. "His agent hasn't been in touch with the club and I can only assume he'll be back for training." In less than a week, more than 800,000 Indians have sent emails to India's telecom regulator, demanding a free and fair internet. Activists set up websites like netneutrality.in and savetheinternet.in. A video on net neutrality by a leading comedy group went viral, in much the same way that British comedian John Oliver's show on net neutrality changed the debate in the US last June, and flooded the US regulator with user support for net neutrality. Also, some leading companies, including the media behemoth Times Group, have pulled out of Facebook's Internet.org initiative, fearing it threatens the principle of "net neutrality". Net neutrality means service providers should treat all traffic equally. Users should be able to access all websites at the same speed and cost. In India, the trigger was a 117-page paper published by the regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), titled Consultation Paper on Regulatory Framework for Over-the-top (OTT) services. Over-the-top services include apps like Skype or WhatsApp that ride on top of telecom operators' networks. Users do pay data charges to access them, but they may eat into operator revenue, such as when users make free Skype calls instead of paying the operator much more for a long-distance call. The paper followed an attempt by leading operator Airtel last December to charge extra for internet calls. A user backlash followed, and Airtel withdrew the plan. Activists focused on Airtel Zero, a platform that allows customers to access mobile applications for free, with the internet data charges being paid by the companies owning the application. This is called "zero rating", and operators call it toll-free data. The data charges are paid by the app vendor. India's biggest online retailer Flipkart pulled out of a deal with phone network Airtel to let customers browse its site for free - Flipkart planned to pick up their internet data costs - after a social media backlash. Both the retailer and the phone network said they supported net neutrality. Meanwhile, US regulator FCC has published its rules that will likely enforce net neutrality from June. Its pro-net neutrality stance has major backing from large technology players such as Google and Amazon. In India, though, those firms have been mostly quiet on the subject. Google has been part of "zero-rated" deals with telecom operators, which activists say violate net neutrality. An Amazon India spokesperson told the BBC that the online retailer supports a "non-discriminatory open internet" to promote affordable access for all to the Internet. "Consumers should not be denied highest quality access to the content of their choice because of discriminatory pricing," a statement said. However, not everyone is backing the extreme "net neutrality or nothing" stance of the activists. Some free-market advocates and investors point out flaws in it, especially in possible over-regulation. Alok Mittal, a Delhi-based investor in internet businesses, is one of them. "I am not in favour of pricing guidelines and restrictions, or excessive government interference in a free market. So I am okay with zero-rating," he says. "But I am against throttling or slowing down some services." Sanjeev Bikhchandani, one of India's leading internet entrepreneurs and founder of job site Naukri.com, says he supports net neutrality, but worries more about net freedom. "TRAI's idea of licensing OTT apps is scary," he says. "India must not be denied access to great apps and services by a licensing regime. Start-ups and young apps developers might have to apply for a time-consuming licensing process, stifling innovation." Activists have accused the TRAI of bringing out a consultation paper whose questions are framed in a way sympathetic to the telecom industry, suggesting an outcome that could be in favour of telecom operators. The paper itself says: "the two extremes - strict network neutrality and no regulation - are inherently flawed. Banning all discrimination is over-inclusive." However, all that may have changed with the sheer volume of user response, which has taken the operators, the regulator and even the activists by surprise. India's ruling BJP government had set up a committee to study net neutrality issues, and it will submit its report next month. Given the public opinion, that report may well tilt toward stronger net neutrality. In the US, the debate has moved ahead, with the imminent enforcement of the FCC rules on net neutrality. That has already triggered lawsuits with AT&T suing the FCC, following lawsuits filed by four consortiums of cable, wireless, and telecom firms. That could be the likely outcome in India, too, as operators, financially stretched by expensive spectrum auctions, high energy costs, and extremely low revenues per user, go to court to challenge a decision that they say would block off an avenue to supplement data revenues. Prasanto K Roy (@prasanto) is a technology analyst in Delhi Dyfed-Powys Police said the men have been released with no further action following a post-mortem examination on 57-year-old Janice Marjorie Holt. Ms Holt was found at her home in the Pentop area of Cardigan on Sunday. Police said her family have been informed and a file will be submitted to the coroner. Catriona Lilley, 22, was taking part in filming for a TV crime programme when it happened. She suffered a fractured jaw and lost teeth in the collision. Five other people were also hurt. It happened near Boucher Road last month. A 24-year-old man was arrested but was later released on bail. Ms Lilley said: "The first night that I came home I woke up in the night having flashbacks of the car just coming at me. "I started to feel really ill because I could imagine it hitting my stomach over and over again." She described how the crash had affected her. "I have not gone near my car," she said. "I know I wasn't driving, but the thought of being on the road with cars all around me is making me quite anxious. "I have found myself slightly more nervous about crossing roads, even though I wasn't on a road when it happened, thinking that this is where a car could be driving and hit me." Ms Lilley said took comfort from the "fact that everyone else is doing OK". She described the immediate aftermath of the collision as confusing and shocking. "I couldn't stop screaming," she said. "It was just really horrifying and really traumatic seeing everything around me. I was just thinking 'God I hope is everyone is OK' and what on earth was that. What happened? "It just seemed so surreal." A television crew was filming a reconstruction for an RTÉ crime show in the area at the time of the crash. It is thought about 20 people were taking part. It is understood the car involved in the incident was not part of the filming for the crime reconstruction. Media playback is not supported on this device Colin Slater, 83, worked on his first Notts game in 1959 as a local newspaper journalist, making his BBC Radio Nottingham bow in 1968. He will remain the station's Magpies correspondent. The Sony Radio Academy award winner was made an MBE in 2001. "Now is the right time to have made this decision," he said. Colin's last commentary for BBC Radio Nottingham will be the Magpies' trip to Newport County on 6 May - almost 50 years after he was first heard on the airwaves. "I left newspapers just as Radio Nottingham was starting," he said. "I got a telephone call from the first manager of the station, Gerald Nethercott, who asked me to be their Notts County correspondent. "The first game I did on radio was in August 1968. Notts County lost 5-0 at Lincoln." Colin, whose input helped save the club from going out of business in 1965, was behind the microphone at Wembley on several occasions during the 1990s, as Notts County twice won promotion and beat Ascoli to win the Anglo-Italian Cup. Other memorable matches included a 2-0 win over Chelsea in 1981, the year the Magpies won promotion to top flight, a victory over Leyton Orient in 1998 which saw them promoted as champions of Division Three and the 5-0 thrashing of Darlington in 2010 that saw them win League Two. He will continue to report on the club's fortunes but has given up match commentary to limit his travelling. He said: "I will still be at home matches and I will travel to a selection of away matches, but I won't be commentating. "Rather than doing 50 games a season, which has been my norm for years, I think that I'll be doing something between 30 and 35 games a season. County moment: "The final whistle at Wembley in a play-off final against Brighton and the knowledge that Notts were going back to the old First Division." County manager: "Jimmy Sirrel, by some distance, was the most successful manager not just of my time with Notts County, but in their entire history." County player: "Don Masson. The finest passer of the ball that I've seen in Notts County's colours. Magical moments - splitting defences with one pass. Outstanding. Ground to visit: "The Emirates Stadium. I've been a guest there but not worked there. I think it's just wonderful and better than the new Wembley." BBC Radio Nottingham's Matchtalk presenter David Jackson: "He seems to know everyone and takes a keen interest in each and every one of them. It's incredible. "I grew up listening to Colin's voice on BBC Radio Nottingham and I'll never forget the feeling of pride I got when I first shared a commentary with him. It was at Field Mill in 2002, Notts County were playing Mansfield Town. "Colin was his typically generous self even though I stepped over my allocated time to continue commentating as Mansfield went 3-0 up. "And then there's that voice. What a voice. Any broadcaster would give their right arm for a voice as distinctive. The airwaves each Saturday afternoon will be all the poorer for not having Colin's voice gracing them." BBC Radio Nottingham sport producer Colin Fray: "It's been a privilege and a pleasure to work alongside Colin, and it will continue to be so in the future. "His knowledge of Notts County and his contacts book are second to none, and I'm delighted that he'll be carrying on as the station's Notts correspondent, still attending many of the club's matches on behalf of the BBC. "Colin's decision to hang up his commentary microphone leaves his replacement with a hard act to follow." 1959: Covered first Notts County match, a 2-1 win over Chester for Nottingham Evening News and Football News. 1963: Notts County correspondent for Nottingham Evening Post and Guardian Journal. 1968: Covered first Notts County match for BBC Radio Nottingham, a 5-0 defeat at Lincoln City. 1989: 4 February, covered 1,000th match. 1998: 21 February, covered 1,500th match. 2001: Made an MBE 2007: 13 October, covered 2,000th match 2009: Celebrated 50th anniversary as Notts County correspondent by accepting Lifetime Achievement Award by Sony Radio Academy. 2014: Given Special Award by the Football League and inducted into the Notts County Hall of Fame. 2016: Given Pride of Nottingham Award at Nottingham Sports Awards. "If we reach an agreement with him we'll appoint him as Black Stars coach," GFA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi said. "If we don't reach an agreement with him, we'll look at our second option." The GFA said the Israeli is their first choice ahead of the Spaniard Juan Ignacio Martinez and former Switzerland assistant coach Michel Pont. "We're going to engage Grant on the details of the job requirement and expectations which will span from remuneration, conditions of service and others," Nyantakyi added. "We are going to re-negotiate effectively. We know his salary expectation but we'd like to see if we can beat it down further." The 59-year old took Chelsea to the final of the 2008 European Champions League and also had a four year spell in charge of the Israeli national team. The GFA did not put a timeline on when they intend to make a firm appointment but say they will offer Grant a two year contract with a mandate to win Ghana their fifth Africa Cup of Nations title. The Black Stars have been without a coach since Appiah left the job after the opening two 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and was replaced by Maxwell Konadu on a temporary basis. Konadu oversaw the Black Stars back-to-back ties against Guinea in October, leading them to a 1-1 draw and a 3-1 victory to lift them to the top of Group E. The delay in finding a new coach means Konadu is set to oversee the Black Stars final qualifiers, away to Uganda on 15 November and then at home to Togo four days later. Initially former Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac is being widely tipped to return to the post he held between 2008 and 2010. Former Netherlands striker Patrick Kluivert, ex-German international Bernd Schuster and Italian Marco Tardelli were also shortlisted for the job but were never interviewed for different reasons. The 35-year-old, who moved to Bury on a one-year deal in June, has had his contract terminated upon request. While he did not specify the reason for the request in a statement, he thanked club bosses for their "compassion". "It's a decision I've taken putting my family's future and wellbeing first," Kirkland said. "I know people will find it hard to understand why someone like myself, who has been lucky enough to have spent my professional life in football and enjoyed all the benefits that comes with that, needs some time and space away from the game...but I know it's the right one." The goalkeeper leaves Bury less than 48 hours before the start of their season at home against Charlton Athletic. Kirkland, who started his career at Coventry City and also played for Liverpool, West Bromwich Albion, Wigan, Leicester, Doncaster and Sheffield Wednesday, hopes the break from the game will allow him to "come back refreshed, with a new perspective on the game that will be valuable to someone". "I hope, at the appropriate time, I might be able to, again, be involved and work within football, either as a player or in coaching or even work within the community," he added. Bury manager David Flitcroft said it has been "a difficult situation to deal with". "When someone like Chris Kirkland, who has so much to offer the game as a player and as a person comes into your building and says he doesn't want to and can't carry on you have to listen," he said. "Chris needs time out away from the game he loves, but family is and will always be more important than football." Senior councillors in York have agreed to spend £10m to improve access to an 86-acre (35-hectare) site behind the city's railway station. The York Central site has been earmarked for more than 1,000 homes as well as offices and retail space. Council leader James Alexander said previous attempts to attract developers had stalled because of poor access. "The city has been talking about [this development] for a generation," Mr Alexander said. "The land is landlocked by railway lines and marble arches you can't get construction traffic underneath. "Let's just sort out the first access point to get onto the site and start the work, and then developers and investors will want to come on board." The bridge would link the teardrop-shaped site, which is directly behind the railway station, to the A59. A report put to the Labour-run council's executive on Tuesday evening said the £10m would come out of its economic infrastructure fund, to "boost short and long-term growth through investment in infrastructure". It said several other developments in York were moving forward, such as Hungate, British Sugar, and the site of the former Terry's factory, but the York Central site needed "financial support" from the council. It added that as well as 1,083 homes, the development would create 8,000 full-time jobs by the time it is completed. Councillor Ian Gillies, leader of the Conservative group, said he "welcomed" the investment in the bridge, which he said sent a "good message". But he said it would not be enough on its own. "For the site to take off in any significant form it will need central government or European grants," Mr Gillies said. "It's so big, there's an awful lot of decontamination from the site's former uses in the railway industry that needs to take place before any building can begin, so I think more funding is needed to progress the site before a developer takes it on." If I were Magpies boss Steve McClaren, I would be a bit more pragmatic with the players at my disposal and try to make things a bit simpler for them - like Sam Allardyce has done since taking charge at Sunderland. The Black Cats have certainly not played pretty football since Allardyce arrived but they have looked so well organised and shown they are willing to fight for points. Almost every time Sunderland get a set-play or a throw-in, the ball goes in the opposition box and they are looking for something to drop for them. They have nicked a couple of results that way, and it is probably time for Newcastle to go down that route too. After such a disastrous run of conceding goals, this weekend's game is not about trying to please their fans with great football but losing again, it is about getting a scrappy draw or a win whichever way they can and building a bit of belief. Newcastle's attacking and defensive stats under McClaren have not shown much improvement on John Carver's spell as manager in the second half of last season - in some cases they are worse. I would still like to wait until McClaren has been in charge for the same amount of matches to give a true comparison but it is a worry that, on top of their disappointing results, his team is having fewer shots and facing more than a side that had such a disastrous run. The bigger concern for me, though, is the stat that shows Newcastle have lost more points - 10 - from a winning position than any other top-flight team in 2015-16. They have played well for spells in games but that proves that, when they get pulled back, they go under. I don't know if that is because they have a mindset where they retreat because they are so desperate to protect their lead but I am sure that Steve has looked at why it is happening and, more importantly, what he can do to change it. There are drills you can do in training to recreate that scenario but, in my experience at Fulham, when you are down at the bottom of the table and having a bad time then you turn things around by being clever and being cute. If you are 1-0 up in a game with 30 minutes left then you take your time over free-kicks and throw-ins and also go down with an injury and get the trainer on. Allardyce's teams have been the best at it recent years. A number of times when I went to Blackburn or Bolton and we went a goal down, I would see their ball-boys taking extra time giving the ball back or their player being substituted would somehow always be in the far corner and would take an extra minute walking off that would never be put back on the clock. It was all pre-planned and all done very deliberately as clever ways of seeing out the game. The main thing is not to try anything risky, though. Newcastle need to play some percentage football to get their confidence back and there are plenty of little things they can do if they take the lead against Liverpool. It might be that they won't take any short free-kicks or play them sideways or backwards. Instead of playing their normal passing game, they could go long into the corner or into the box and fight for it there. Media playback is not supported on this device Or they could not let their keeper throw the ball out. McClaren should say to Rob Elliott: 'I don't care if the opposition drops off 40 yards, you are going to kick it long and we are going to fight for the second ball and play in their half'. Their fans might not like it but they don't have to do it for the whole game, only when they are ahead, and it might mean they do not make the mistake of giving the ball away in their back four when they are winning the game. It is that kind of nous that Newcastle's squad is lacking at the moment, something that is at least partly down to their recruitment policy. Since Kevin Nolan and Ryan Taylor joined in early 2009, Newcastle have spent more than £100m and made 42 permanent signings but only three - Wayne Routledge, Sol Campbell and Jack Colback - arrived with any substantial Premier League experience, by which I mean they had already played more than 50 top-flight games in this country. Of the current squad, Colback is the only signing that comes into that category. Of course it is good to try to nick a few bargains and Newcastle can point to the likes of Yohan Cabaye as successes, but the truth is there have not been that many of them. I am a big advocate of mixing your signings up because experience can make a big difference. After Roy Hodgson miraculously kept Fulham up when I was at Craven Cottage in 2008, he brought in Mark Schwarzer, Andy Johnson, Bobby Zamora and Zoltan Gera, who had an average age of 29.5 and had played more than 500 Premier League games between them. That summer we went from being an average side to being a team with some leaders and some talkers. We became a really clever and experienced outfit, and without spending an absolute fortune either. McClaren is stuck with the players he has got until January, and he has got a pretty limited squad - there are not many changes he can make to make them any stronger. I worked with him when he was part of the England set-up, and he was an astute coach who was very aware tactically. As Sven-Goran Eriksson's number two he was very good at setting up teams to play against different formations and to be defensive or attacking. I have been surprised by how open and naive Newcastle have been under him this season but I am sure he will realise that, if he tries to go toe-to-toe with Liverpool at St James' Park this weekend, Newcastle will get torn apart. But he still has a couple of options of how to deal with Liverpool's pressing, if Jurgen Klopp's side adopt their expected approach. Newcastle can go a bit longer, from back to front, to bypass the press and the Liverpool midfield. That could mean hitting a big man like Aleksandar Mitrovic in the front areas, playing up to him and then have Moussa Sissoko running off him with his pace. Or, if Liverpool are playing really high up the pitch, then the Magpies can look for longer balls directly for fast runners behind the back four. Media playback is not supported on this device That is the way we played at Fulham when we had Johnson in the side because he loved running behind defences. We could play blind passes over centre-halves and full-backs and, even if he did not get them, that turned the opposing defenders around and we were advancing up the pitch. The third way is more difficult, because it involves playing your way through the press. You can do that if you are confident and have good players because you will know that, while the press might be intense in the first 15 or 20 minutes, there is no way the opposition can keep that up for 90 minutes and your quality will wear them out. In Newcastle's predicament and with their low confidence levels after their recent results, I would be surprised if McClaren tried it. But whatever his tactics are, his players have to back them up by running hard, winning some tackles and showing some guts and commitment. They have not done that in recent weeks and they will not get anywhere without it. Danny Murphy was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. Edinburgh University researchers have shown how two receptors in older brains react to the stress hormone cortisol linked to forgetfulness as people age. The study on older mice found one receptor was activated by low levels of cortisol, which helped memory. But once levels of the hormone were too high they spilled over on to a second receptor, activating brain processes which contribute to memory loss. When the receptor linked to poor memory was blocked, the memory recall problem was reversed. Scientists say the discovery could lead to treatment for conditions such as early Alzheimer's. Dr Joyce Yau, who led the study at Edinburgh University's centre for cardiovascular science, said: "While we know that stress hormones affect memory, this research explains how the receptors they engage with can switch good memory to poorly functioning memory in old age. "We now know that lowering the levels of these stress hormones will prevent them from activating a receptor in the brain that is bad for memory. "Understanding the mechanisms in the brain which affect memory as we age will help us to find ways to combat conditions linked to memory loss." The scientists said the research helps explain why too much stress over a prolonged period interferes with the normal processes in storing everyday memories, despite the fact that a little bit of stress can help people better remember emotional memories. Scientists found that high levels of cortisol in aged mice made them less able to remember how to navigate a maze. The study was published in the Journal of Neuroscience and was funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC). Professor Chris Kennard, chairman of the MRC's neuroscience and mental health board, said: "This research highlights some interesting, original concepts relating to why memory loss occurs in old age. "With people living ever longer, the MRC is really focusing on research which allows elderly people not just to survive but also to stay healthy." The researchers are looking at a new chemical compound which blocks an enzyme, known as 11beta-HSD1, which helps produce stress hormones within cells. The study is supported by a Seeding Drug Discovery award from the Wellcome Trust charity. It is hoped this could be used to develop a drug treatment to slow the normal decline in memory associated with ageing, or even improve memory in people who are very old. The e-petition, which has more than 200,000 signatures, was set up in protest at the leaflets being sent to every UK home ahead of the referendum. Leave campaigners have accused the government of misusing public money and trying to swing the vote's outcome. The government says it is "not neutral" and has a duty to provide the "facts". The in-out referendum on whether to stay in or leave the EU takes place on 23 June, with the government in favour of a vote to remain. Its pro-EU leaflets began hitting doormats in England this week, and will be sent to homes across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland after the 5 May elections. The UK's EU vote: All you need to know EU for beginners: A guide UK and the EU: Better off out or in? Reality Check: The government's EU leaflet The petition, launched by the Get Britain Out group on the government's e-Petitions site and entitled "Stop Cameron spending British taxpayers' money on pro-EU referendum leaflets", has more than 212,000 backers. The leaflets, which bear the official HM government stamp, claim that a vote to leave the EU would cause an economic shock that "would risk higher prices of some household goods and damage living standards". It further claims that the only way to "protect jobs, provide security, and strengthen the UK's economy" is by staying in the EU, arguing that leaving would create risk and uncertainty. But campaigners for Britain to leave the EU - including many Conservative MPs - dismissed it as "one-sided propaganda" and complained it had been paid for using taxpayers' money. They also say it is unfair the leaflets cost more than the £7m each side will be allowed to spend by law, once the official campaign period begins. Labour said party leader Jeremy Corbyn believed the government should have provided a "more even" assessment of the facts about Britain's EU membership in the leaflet, in order to enable voters to weigh up the arguments on either side and make an informed choice. But David Cameron has defended the move as "necessary and right", saying the government had a duty to explain to the British public why it thinks the UK should stay in the EU. The government says the leaflets - costing £9.3m, or about 34p per household - are a response to public demand for more information. A digital version is being advertised on social media and is available on a new website. The government's response to the petition states that the EU Referendum Act 2015 "commits the government to provide information to the public on EU membership ahead of the vote, and that is what we will do". Not every petition which passes the 100,000 threshold gets debated in Parliament, but all must be considered by the Petitions Committee, whose job it is to decide whether to grant a debate. The petition debate will take place in Westminster Hall at 16:30 BST on 9 May, and will be led by Conservative MP Paul Scully. It is part of a review into the practice on public estates in Wales - some pheasant shoots take place on public land across mid and south Wales. Campaigners said it was "vital" that NRW allowed independent experts and the public to give their views. The British Association of Shooting and Conservation (BASC) said it was "surprised" at the move. Tim Russell, BASC's director of conservation, said: "Those involved in shooting provide voluntary conservation labour equivalent to 490 full-time jobs. "BASC, therefore, believes that shooting makes a significant contribution to the public estate. "We are surprised at the review because people that shoot on the public estate in Wales pay to do so." A letter written by rural affairs secretary Lesley Griffiths AM, seen by the BBC, said the chief veterinary officer and wildlife policy officials would be consulted. An Animal Aid spokesman said it was "absurd" NRW had not previously sought the public's views on the issue. "The people of Wales expressed no interest because what was going on was kept secret from them - which is unforgivable considering the land belongs to them," he added. "It is vital that NRW allows independent experts, interested parties and the public as stakeholders to participate in the review process." Ruth Jenkins, NRW's head of natural resource management, said: "We will be consulting publicly on our policy on recreational shooting and we are currently finalising the scope of the review and gathering evidence to inform our consultation proposals." Activists have said pheasant shoots on public land are a risk to animal welfare, protected species and safety. According BASC, the shooting industry is worth £64m to Wales and supports the equivalent of almost 2,500 full-time jobs. Media playback is not supported on this device Lee, who in 2013 was given a 12-year suspension for match-fixing, has set up an academy in Shenzhen. The former world number five's ban will end on 12 October 2024 - the date of his 50th birthday. "I've seen a lot of talent here, it's raw talent and they are very capable young players," the 40-year-old told the BBC. "I'm very impressed." In an Inside Out West feature, Lee reveals he intends to travel to China once a month to act as a mentor for children as young as 12. "I'm hoping to get involved and bring some really good young players through for the future," he said. Lee, a professional for more than 20 years and the winner of five ranking titles, was found to have fixed the outcomes of seven matches in 2008 and 2009. He was also found to have conspired to lose his 2009 World Championship first-round match to Ryan Day, in which he was defeated 10-4. World Snooker chief Barry Hearn said he has "no sympathy" for Lee, but added he was "free to do as he pleased" in starting the academy in China. "Stephen Lee was a top player, but he took the wrong path and as such he paid the ultimate price," said Hearn. Media playback is not supported on this device "The 12-year ban fitted the crime - I would have gone for a life ban, you have to send a message to the broadcasters and sponsors. Integrity is paramount. "There is no sympathy when you are dealing with the future of the sport. It's a sad situation for the individual, no-one wants to see anyone suffer, but he brought about it himself, therefore he has to pay the price." Lee first visited China in 1997 and said he "always liked" the country, adding: "The fans are brilliant, they know their stuff and love their snooker. "There is raw talent and they need to be taught the right things from an early age and then the world is their oyster. "The plan is to work closely with the players and bring them to a higher level in their game and give them a chance of turning professional. It's very exciting times." Hearn has overseen a transformation of the sport in recent years and says Lee, who has always maintained his innocence, is no longer a member of World Snooker. "Everybody deserves a second chance," said Hearn. "He is totally free to earn a living and support himself and his family. I wish him every success with that. He has paid the price with his professional career." Watch the full Inside Out West feature on BBC One West on Monday from 19:30 BST For some of Jeremy Corbyn's opponents, Friday's results suggest that the opinion polls are broadly right and the best approach towards self-preservation in the next month or so, as a general election approaches, is to keep what they hope will be a safe distance from the party leader. As one former minister put it "I don't want him anywhere near my seat - they should continue to send him to places we won't win". A senior Labour figure described the party's local election performance as "calamitous". So much so that some of Mr Corbyn's supporters fear another attempted putsch by his internal opponents. That doesn't seem likely, though. John Curtice: Six key lessons for the general election That's because many of those who are sceptical about his leadership say there is no obvious mechanism to remove him - and he would use any evidence of a plot to excuse a bad general election result. Time and again the phrase they use is that those around Jeremy Corbyn must "own" any defeat. The former Labour group leader in Derbyshire, Dave Wilcox, saw control of his council pass to the Conservatives today. He told the BBC he wouldn't be calling for Jeremy Corbyn's resignation right now - but if Labour were to suffer a similar defeat nationally on 8 June, the party leader should go. He told me: "Genuine Labour supporters have been saying we can't vote for this bloke because he doesn't speak for me. "We heard it time and time and time again on the doorstep. We are not voting for you while you have Jeremy Corbyn as leader." The party's mayoral candidate in the West Midlands, Sion Simon - close to Labour deputy leader Tom Watson - chose to focus not on the party leader to explain his defeat. Instead, he said he got "the sense that some of our voters don't have confidence any more that we share their core Labour values". But Mr Corbyn's allies blame a collapse in the UKIP vote, as well as previous attempts by some of his own MPs to undermine him, for the poor results. Publicly, the official line from the Labour leadership is that the council elections were disappointing, not disastrous - but privately some of Mr Corbyn's close colleagues have indeed used the word "disaster" to describe the results. There won't be any wholesale change to their strategy now but there is an unofficial four-point plan to improve the party's standing. First, they'll redouble their efforts to get younger non-voters registered as they believe they will be more sympathetic to a radical Labour party. Second - as shadow chancellor John McDonnell made clear in his media appearances today - they are likely to make Jeremy Corbyn more, not less prominent, in the campaign. The shadow chancellor believes the leader's image so far has been "distorted" by a hostile press but now we are in a formal election campaign, there will be more balanced broadcast coverage. And, crucially, there will also be more opportunities to see an "unmediated" leader in the raw - and that voters will warm to his decency. Third, they intend to bolster doorstep campaigning. Jeremy Corbyn's office are keen to find out just how much of this had been carried out in areas where council results were poor. They want more direct conversations with potential voters so their message isn't only seen through the prism of the mainstream media.. And finally, there will be a renewed emphasis on what the late Tony Benn would have referred to as "policies, not personalities". The Labour leadership believe that when their manifesto is unveiled in 10 days time, popular policies will boost their poll ratings. But Labour's private polling also suggested that many of the party's individual policies in 2015 were popular - and that didn't guarantee success at the ballot box. And Labour's five million doorstep conversations with the public at the last election didn't mean that voters liked what they were hearing. But overall the message is that the leader and his supporters must do more to play to their strengths. To coin a phrase, there is no alternative. French authorities said secret payments made to players and agents during deals between French and Premier League clubs are the focus of the probe. Newcastle and West Ham's grounds were raided on Wednesday, as HMRC deployed 180 officers across the UK and France. Marveaux, 31, joined Newcastle from Rennes in 2011 and made 39 appearances. He returned to France to join Lorient last year. Newcastle's managing director Lee Charnley was also arrested. He was released without charge at about 17:00 BST on Wednesday. The French Prosecutor's office says 10 searches were carried out in France and four people were placed in police custody. "The British authorities suspect secret payments may have been made to benefit certain players, their agents or third parties, allowing them to avoid paying tax on the income, or making social security payments," said a statement from the French Prosecutor's office. French officials were asked by HMRC to provide assistance to their investigation in July 2016. It took a further nine months before officers launched their raids on both sides of the Channel. HMRC said it searched premises in the north east and south east of England, and seized business records, financial records, computers and mobile phones. West Ham's London Olympic Stadium and Newcastle's St James' Park were among the locations raided. HMRC officers also visited offices belonging to Chelsea FC "in connection with its wider investigation", a club spokesman confirmed. But it is understood the club's premises were not raided and no arrests were made. BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway The wheels of tax investigations turn slowly - so any sporting implications resulting from these arrests and raids may not be known for some time. It would appear, on face value, that Premier League points and status for both West Ham United and newly promoted Newcastle United are safe for now. However this "on-going" investigation risks creating instability and uncertainty for both clubs at a time when they both, for different reasons, need it the most. HMRC investigations of this scale are costly and only undertaken in the most serious of circumstances. This isn't going away anytime soon. Rafael Benitez, celebrating promotion on Monday, told reporters it was good to work at a club where there's no backroom politics, a not so subtle reference to his tumultuous time at Real Madrid. With Newcastle having documents seized, and further questions looming for its senior officials, he may have spoken too soon. A 148-run second-wicket stand between ex-home skipper Marcus Trescothick and current captain Chris Rogers was the cornerstone of the hosts' 342-4. Both went short of a ton, Trescothick for 97 and Rogers for 91. But James Hildreth was still there at stumps on 68, aided by Jim Allenby's 51 on a day when just four wickets fell. After play finished bang on time at 18:00 BST, with 96 overs bowled in the day, Somerset will resume in the morning needing 58 runs from 14 overs to gain maximum batting points. A large crowd was there to witness Yorkshire electing to bowl first in warm sunshine on a dry-looking pitch - and the visitors were made to pay. England leg spinner Adil Rashid, who was not introduced until the 50th over, came on to claim the wickets of both Trescothick, in only his second over, and Rogers, with a googly. But there was little in the pitch for the Yorkshire seamers, who managed only one breakthrough in the morning session. when Tom Abell was bowled between bat and pad by a ball that nipped back from Steve Patterson. Reigning La Liga champions Atletico took an early lead at the Bernabeu as Tiago headed in from a corner. Cristiano Ronaldo, on his return from injury, scored a penalty he had won to bring the teams level soon after. But Atletico, who had to resist plenty of home pressure, won the game courtesy of Arda Turan's neat finish. Prior to the game, Atletico boss Diego Simeone had downplayed his side's chances of defending their league crown following a summer exodus that saw five key players from last season's La Liga-conquering team depart the club. While his current crop of players may lack some of the attacking flair of their predecessors they appear to have quickly picked up the tactical nous and spirit that have become the hallmark of their manager's teams. Like the 2013-14 side, this Atletico team are also physically imposing, which they demonstrated throughout and notably in the 10th minute when Tiago made his way to the near post to plant a header into the net from Koke's corner. The goal was also further evidence for the critics, whose knives were still sharp from the way they capitulated at Real Sociedad two weeks ago, that this is a Real team who are only quality so long as the ball is heading in the direction of the opposition goal and not their own. However, this time Real rallied after going behind and with the returning Ronaldo included in their attack they had the firepower to respond. As he has done on so many occasions, the Portuguese forward created his own scoring opportunity, by tumbling in the box under minimum contact from Guilherme Siquiera, before converting it by sending goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya the wrong way. Ronaldo was also the supplier of two subsequent chances for Karim Benzema, the first of which the Frenchman ruined with a heavy touch when through on goal, the second a header which drew a superb save from Moya. Unfortunately, Ronaldo is clearly not fully fit - as demonstrated by the way he faded as a threat - while his attacking companions were woefully off colour. Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez - combined cost £156m - were peripheral figures throughout, while Toni Kroos was poorly-deployed as a holding midfielder. But to focus on Real's inadequacies takes away from Atletico's performance, which was a master-class in containment and counter-attack. As the game wore on and Real's frustration grew, so did the visitors' belief and after Turan had flashed one shot past the post in the 73rd minute he went one better three minutes later by sweeping home a neat finish past Iker Casillas. Real huffed and puffed for the remaining 14 minutes, but the Atletico held firm.

Christopher Halliwell, 52, of Swindon, appeared via video link at Bristol Crown Court ahead of a trial due to begin next week. The father-of-three has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Becky Godden, 20, between 1 January 2003 and 3 April 2008. Miss Godden's body was found in a field in Eastleach, Gloucestershire, in 2011. Mr Halliwell, previously of Ashbury Avenue, Swindon, was charged with Miss Godden's murder by Wiltshire Police on 30 March. During an earlier hearing Mr Halliwell confirmed he had decided to represent himself during the murder trial, which will begin on 5 September before retired High Court judge Sir John Griffith Williams.

A taxi driver has appeared in court accused of murdering a woman who was missing for almost a decade.

Sinead Higgins, 37, and her seven-year-old son Oisin were found inside the property in The Fairway, Ruislip, on Wednesday. Formal identification is yet to take place. Officers have said nobody else is being sought in connection with the deaths at this stage. A Metropolitan Police statement said the causes of deaths remained inconclusive after post-mortem tests, but stated: "Detectives are satisfied that the deaths are consistent with a murder and a suicide." The force is awaiting further toxicology tests. Officers responded to concerns for the pair's welfare at about 10:50 GMT and forced their way into the house. Police said next-of-kin had been informed.

The deaths of a mother and son whose bodies were found in a house in west London were a murder-suicide, detectives have said.

An official attendance of 59,563 was given for Thursday's game, but large sections of empty seats were visible. Asked for a message to fans, Wenger said: "Come and support the team. If you love football, you go out there and I think you see quality football." Alexis Sanchez scored twice in the win. Media playback is not supported on this device Clubs usually count season ticket holders in official attendances whether they are actually present or not, and there were reports before Thursday's game that as many as 2,500 fans had returned their tickets. Wenger said there was no way of knowing why fans did not attend, but defended his side's performance. He said: "It was a special night as well, a Thursday night, and I don't know if you are intelligent enough, nor am I, to detect exactly why everybody that did not turn up tonight did not turn up. "I believe we dominated from the start to the last minute and in fact, was what we did in the 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace on Sunday. "Overall I believe the quality of our game was very good. Maybe, we could have scored more goals."

Arsene Wenger has urged Arsenal's stay-away fans to turn up and see "quality football" after his side moved third in the Premier League table with a 2-0 win over West Brom at Emirates Stadium.

However, as the celebrity can still appeal to the Supreme Court he cannot be named - yet. One of the grounds to lifting the reporting ban was that the allegations were now widespread. This was due to publication of the story in Scotland and other countries. It was published north of the border as the injunction did not apply outside England and Wales. As Scotland is a separate legal jurisdiction, foreign judgments, including those from England and Wales, require to be registered in Scotland to work. However, a foreign judgment can only be registered in Scotland if it is a final order of the court. Interim orders are issued during the course of an action for protective purposes until the court has the opportunity of hearing the case and making a final order. The gagging order obtained by the celebrity was an interim injunction. It was not a final judgment and so could not be enforced in Scotland. If the celebtrity had wanted to obtain protection in Scotland, the celebrity would have needed to go to the Scottish court seeking interim interdict (the Scottish term for an interim injunction). This could be done in two ways: There is little practical difference between the two approaches. If an interim interdict had been granted under either of those two options then it would have stopped the printed publication in Scotland and the Court of Appeal might have come to a different decision. So, what's going to happen now? On Monday the court gave the man time to apply to take his case to the UK Supreme Court. In the ruling, they said there must be no publication leading to disclosure of the celebrity's identity before 13:00 BST on Wednesday. The celebrity - who has young children and whose spouse is also well-known - has until 10:00 BST on Tuesday to submit arguments to the Supreme Court. It will then decide whether to hear the case - and therefore extend the reporting ban - or to throw it out, leading to the order being being lifted.

The Court of Appeal has held that the interim injunction banning the naming of a married celebrity who it is claimed participated in a threesome has been lifted.

Fe gafodd Dr Paul Thomas ac Adele Baumgardt - ynghyd â gweddill bwrdd y corff - eu gwahardd o'u gwaith dros dro ym mis Tachwedd yn dilyn pryderon nad oedd y corff yn gweithredu'n effeithiol. Roedd y ddau wedi'u gwahardd tra bod ymchwiliad yn cael ei gynnal i gwynion yn erbyn y ddau. Cafodd gweddill y bwrdd ddychwelyd ym mis Chwefror eleni, a heddiw dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd Cyhoeddus Rebecca Evans bod y berthynas y tu fewn i arweinyddiaeth bwrdd Chwaraeon Cymru "wedi'i chwalu ac nid oes modd ei adfer". Mae Dr Thomas wedi dweud wrth BBC Cymru bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn "echyrdus" wrth ddelio gydag ef, a'i fod yn teimlo ei fod wedi cael ei "adael yn y gwynt" fel chwythwr chwiban oedd wedi amlygu materion oedd angen eu datrys o fewn y sefydliad. Dywedodd Paul Thomas ei fod wedi ei benodi i newid y ffordd y mae Chwaraeon Cymru'n gweithio ond na chafodd y gefnogaeth oedd ei angen gan Lywodraeth Cymru sydd wedi "troi ei chefn" arno. "Sut maen nhw'n disgwyl denu pobl fel fi o'r gymuned fusnes i weithio gyda nhw os mai fel yma maen nhw'n trin pobl?", meddai. Roedd hefyd wedi'i synnu a'i siomi nad oedd unrhyw un o Lywodraeth Cymru wedi cysylltu gydag e i ddweud wrtho ei fod yn cael ei ddiswyddo. Dywedodd Dr Thomas wrth BBC Cymru ei fod wedi clywed y newyddion wrth gael neges testun gan ffrind. Dywedodd Rebecca Evans AC: "Fy nod uwchlaw popeth arall yw effeithiolrwydd Chwaraeon Cymru a'i gyfraniad i les y genedl drwy ei sylw i chwaraeon ac ymarfer corff, a dyna'r rheswm am fy mhenderfyniad. "Rwyf wedi gofyn i'r cadeirydd dros dro, Lawrence Conway, i aros yn y swydd am weddill 2017 o leia', ac i fwrw 'mlaen gyda'r aelodau bwrdd sy'n weddill." Pwrpas y corff, sy'n gwario tua £22m y flwyddyn, yw hyrwyddo chwaraeon ar lawr gwlad ac ar lefel elît, a dosrannu arian. Dros y chwe mis diwethaf mae'r corff wedi bod yng nghanol cyfres o ddadleuon am waith y bwrdd a'r modd y mae'n rhoi cytundebau. Ym mis Chwefror, dywedodd Ms Evans bod yr adolygiad o Chwaraeon Cymru wedi ei gwblhau, ond bod nifer o gwynion newydd am y bwrdd a'i aelodau wedi cael eu derbyn ar ôl hynny. Mae BBC Cymru ar hyn o bryd yn herio penderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i beidio cyhoeddi'r adolygiad o dan y Ddeddf Rhyddid Gwybodaeth, ac mae disgwyl penderfyniad am yr apêl yr wythnos nesaf. Mae llefarydd ar ran Chwaraeon Cymru wedi dweud bod y cyfnod diweddar wedi bod yn "heriol" ond y byddai'r mudiad yn edrych i symud ymlaen wedi datganiad y gweinidog. Dywedodd y llefarydd bod y gweinidog wedi dweud bod staff Chwaraeon Cymru wedi gwneud gwaith "arbennig" yn ystod y cyfnod, ac yn glir iawn bod y mudiad wedi ei "reoli'n dda" ac yn gweithredu'n llwyddiannus dan arweiniad cadeirydd dros dro. "Mae Chwaraeon Cymru yn parhau i fod yn fudiad sydd wedi ymrwymo i weithio mewn partneriaeth, fel bod pobl dros Gymru yn cael y cyfle i fwynhau chwaraeon a bod yn actif, a chefnogi ein pencampwyr a rhai'r dyfodol." Dywedodd Russell George AC, llefarydd Ceidwadwyr Cymru ar chwaraeon: "Dyw'r diswyddiadau yma ddim yn taflu goleuni am beth aeth mor bell o'i le gyda bwrdd Chwaraeon Cymru. "Gydag Erthygl 50 yn cael ei danio, mae'n ymddangos bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dewis diwrnod arbennig i gladdu newyddion drwg. "Gan fod Chwaraeon Cymru'n derbyn dros £22m o arian cyhoeddus, ry'n ni'n haeddu llawer mwy o dryloywder gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ac fe fyddaf yn ysgrifennu atyn nhw gyda'r bwriad o ofyn am gyhoeddi adolygiad y cyn-gadeirydd." Llefarydd Plaid Cymru ar chwaraeon a iechyd yw Rhun ap Iorwerth AC, a dywedodd: "Does dim amheuaeth fod hwn wedi bod yn gyfnod anodd iawn i staff a'r holl bobl sy'n ymwneud â Chwaraeon Cymru. "Mae cwestiynau difrifol i'w hateb gan y Gweinidog yn dilyn ei datganiad heddiw ar y broses recriwtio wreiddiol ac ar yr adolygiad sicrwydd gafodd ei gynnal. Byddaf yn gofyn i'r Gweinidog gynnal adolygiad o'r prosesau a chyhoeddi'r adolygiad sicrwydd. "Byddaf hefyd yn gofyn am eglurhad gan y Gweinidog ar y materion a arweiniodd at chwalu'n llwyr y berthynas o fewn arweinyddiaeth bwrdd Chwaraeon Cymru a'r gefnogaeth y byddant yn ei roi nawr fydd yn galluogi Chwaraeon Cymru i symud ymlaen i'r dyfodol. " Dywedodd llefarydd UKIP ar chwaraeon, Gareth Bennett AC: "Rwy'n gobeithio fod cyhoeddiad y gweinidog heddiw yn dod ag eglurdeb i bawb sy'n ymwneud â Chwaraeon Cymru, yn enwedig y staff a phawb sy'n elwa o chwaraeon elît a chymunedol. "Rwy'n croesawu ymrwymiad y gweinidog i sicrhau effeithiolrwydd Chwaraeon Cymru, ond rwy'n yn edrych ymlaen i Lywodraeth Cymru'n cyhoeddi canlyniadau eu harolwg. "Rhaid i ni gael hyder bod y swm sylweddol o arian cyhoeddus sydd wedi'i fuddsoddi yn Chwaraeon Cymru'n cael ei ddefnyddio'n gall, a bod unrhyw wersi o'r hanes anffodus yma'n cael eu dysgu." At the Ted (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Vancouver, he showed off his latest gizmo - a cardboard centrifuge that can spot malarial parasites in blood. Toy-inspired, it costs 20 cents (15p). He also launched a citizen science project to identify disease-carrying mosquitoes by their sound. The "abuzz" project asks people to record the sound of mosquitoes' wings beating, on the microphones of their mobile phones, which are available even on the most basic models. Acquiring acoustic data on wing beat sounds - the frequency of which varies from species to species - together with the time and location of the human-mosquito encounter creates a "powerful tool" for identifying where disease-carrying mosquitoes may be. Prof Prakash has a passion for getting low-cost scientific tools with a practical use into the poorest communities. "There are one billion people who live with no infrastructure, electricity or healthcare," he told the Ted audience. "Frugal science is about building solutions for these communities." Prof Prakash - who has also designed a paper microscope that costs less than a dollar (80p) - came up with the idea of Paperfuge during a field trip in Uganda. He spotted a $1,000 centrifuge - a medical tool used to separate liquids such as blood - being used in a remote clinic as a doorstop. "They had no electricity so it was useless to them," said Prof Prakash. On returning to his Stanford lab, he was inspired to create a cheaper option, by toys - first a yoyo and then a whirlygig - also known as a button on a string - that is made using a spherical object suspended on threads that are then pulled to make it spin. "Could we use the physics of these objects to build centrifuges?" he asked. Prof Prakash and his colleague Saad Bhamla recruited three undergraduate engineering students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford to build a mathematical model of how the device worked. The team created a computer simulation to capture design variables such as disc size, string elasticity and pulling force. They also borrowed equations from the physics of supercoiling DNA strands, and eventually created a prototype that spun at up to 125,000 revolutions per minute. "There are some beautiful mathematics hidden inside this object," Prof Prakash said. Using the device to spin blood in a capillary coated with orange dye for 15 minutes separates malarial parasites from red blood cells, enabling them to be spotted under a microscope. And in 2014, Prof Prakash launched Foldscope, a paper microscope that costs under a dollar. Foldscope has now sold 50,000 units in 130 countries. Used by amateurs and children as well as scientists, the projects it has inspired are being shared on a citizen science database. Prof Prakash plans to ship one million more microscopes this year. The 82-year-old was driving a car that collided with a skip in the south of the city on Sunday. It happened in Galwally Avenue at about 14:40 GMT. No other vehicle was involved. Police said they were investigating the cause of the collision and have appealed for witnesses. Analysis by the Royal College of GPs suggests that over the past three years, investment in general practice has fallen by £400m in real terms. That is equivalent to a 7% cut in spending per patient, it says. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt told the RCGP, which is meeting in Harrogate, he government wanted to increase access to GPs by extending opening hours. On Tuesday, the prime minister said he wanted more patients to be able to get help in the evenings and at weekends, as he set out details of a £50m pilot programme in nine areas of England to widen access. But the college said its analysis - based on official data from the Health and Social Care Information Centre - showed the government was taking money away from GPs despite claiming it wanted to move care away from hospitals. The RCGP's chairwoman Dr Clare Gerada said the cuts meant doctors were being required to do more work with fewer resources, damaging services for patients. In 2012-13, £8.5bn was invested in general practice, when everything from spending on pay, IT, tests and drugs was taken into account, it said. In many ways it is hard to measure what effect the cuts cited by the RCGP might be having. The most obvious measure of judging performance used to be through the 48-hour target for waiting for an appointment. But this was scrapped by the coalition. The Patients Association has consistently said the feedback it gets flags longer waits as an issue. The RCGP also says it is getting harder to keep extra services going; such as dieticians and talking therapies. Some of the biggest cuts have been among these 'enhanced services' - and in longer opening hours, the very thing ministers were talking about extending earlier this week. For a government that makes a big play of protecting the NHS budget, it raises some tricky questions. That compared with £8.3bn in 2009-10, which is the equivalent of £8.9bn in 2012-13 prices. In terms of spending per patient, that represents a fall from £168.40 a year to £156.45 - a drop of 7%. Dr Gerada also pointed out that the investment represented 9% of the entire NHS budget, even though GPs had 90% of the contacts with patients. She said: "Our figures should send out a warning to government and the rest of the NHS that we will soon have a catastrophe on our hands if urgent action is not taken to reverse the decline in funding. "GPs are keen to do more for their patients, but we are heaving under the pressure of ever-increasing workloads and diminishing resources. "Some of us are routinely working 11-hour days with up to 60 patient contacts in a single day and this is not safe or sustainable. "You do not want a tired GP seeing you. You do not want a tired GP any more than you want a tired pilot or a tired surgeon." Dr Gerada also expressed concern about the season ahead and said general practice was close to reaching a "tipping point" which would see the profession "fall over". "We're trying to squeeze more and more activity out of a smaller and smaller pot of money," she added. "If we have a cold winter, I'm really afraid that patients will suffer considerably. "The front door of the NHS is the GP's surgery. If that gives, the rest of the NHS will give and very rapidly." Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who addressed the conference on Thursday afternoon, did not object to the figures. But he said the problems with investment in GPs "goes back further than three years". "In the NHS we have invested in hospitals, in A&Es and we have not had a parallel investment in primary care." He added the government was now looking to invest in programmes that increased access to GPs - hence the announcement this week to extend opening hours and increase the use of technologies such as email and Skype. Patients Association chief executive Katherine Murphy said: "This chimes with what patients are saying to us. They are finding it harder to access GPs both in and out of hours. "The mantra is about moving care out of hospitals and into the community, but if we are going to achieve that we have to stop throwing money at hospitals and invest in GPs so they can provide quality care." Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said: "These figures are embarrassing for a prime minister who got elected on a promise not to cut the NHS. "They make a mockery of yet more promises he has made on GP access this week and show he simply can't be trusted on the NHS." Maupay, 20, who has played for France from Under-16 to Under-21 level, joined St-Etienne from Nice in August 2015 and scored three goals in 23 appearances for the top-flight club. He spent time on loan in France's second division last season, scoring 11 goals in 28 league games for Brest. His move from the Ligue 1 club is subject to international clearance. Maupay, who featured for St-Etienne in the Europa League, is familiar with Brentford, having scored for Nice in a pre-season friendly in 2014. Bees head coach Dean Smith said the forward is a player that the club has been "tracking for a long while". "He fits all the profiles we set when we look for a player," Smith said. "We are very lucky to have got him and I look forward to working with him." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The 22-year-old woman and 27-year-old man were assaulted by a man outside a block of flats on Rannoch Road in the early hours of Thursday. Police said it was understood the culprit was with another four men as they tried to join a party nearby. Police Scotland appealed for any witnesses, or anyone who was in the group of men, to contact them. Fitzpatrick had been suspended on Monday when the GAA's Central Hearings Committee ruled he had misled a recent disciplinary hearing. However, when the player's appeal was heard on Wednesday night, that verdict was overturned. He is available to play in Sunday's Ulster Football Championship fixture. Fitzpatrick had originally been banned for one match following an incident during a Division Three Football League game against Armagh in March. Fresh video evidence then emerged which led to Fitzpatrick being handed the lengthy suspension. The news will be a relief to Antrim joint-manager Gearoid Adams who feared Fitzpatrick might quit the game. Antrim's Conor Murray will miss the match at Ballybofey because of a two-match ban imposed following his red card in the game against Armagh. He narrowly beat second placed Liberal Democrat candidate Dennis Brewer with a majority of 621 votes, securing his second term which will last four years. Mr Oliver said his priorities would be job creation, investment and "hope for a better tomorrow". He said a referendum on the mayoral system would be held in Torbay in 2016 because he did not agree with it. In October 2014, Mr Oliver was sacked from his duties as head of the Conservative group after he received a vote of no confidence as leader of the council by colleagues in a private meeting with a secret ballot. On Friday, former MP Lib Dem Adrian Sanders lost the Torbay constituency seat to Conservative Kevin Foster. 16 January 2016 Last updated at 18:41 GMT As Maggie Taggart reports, the fire service has appealed for people to install and maintain smoke detectors in their homes. The 20-year-old finished on a tournament record 19 under par to beat South Korea's Ryu So-yeon. Hull started the final round with a one-shot lead ahead and shot six birdies in her bogey-free round for a six-under-par 66 at the Florida course. "It's wicked to do it at 20," she said. "It feels good to be joining the winners this year." World number one Lydia Ko was tied for 10th, while England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff finished tied for 36th. Scotland's Catriona Matthew finished in 46th place. Hull had been tied with Ryu after 16, but the Korean missed her par putt on the 17th as Hull birdied the hole to take the lead and complete a two-shot swing. Both players then parred the last as Hull took the title, in the final tournament of the season. The world number 29, who finished seventh at the Rio Olympics, had a bogey-free weekend, with 12 birdies and 24 pars in her final 36 holes and wins $500,000 (£404,891) in prize money. "I just feel pretty good where I am at the moment," added Hull. "I feel like I am mentally good. I feel relaxed. I think that's the key for me. "If I come into a week relaxed I feel good. This week it happened for me. I'm confident. I'm happy." It is Hull's second title since turning professional in 2013, having won the Lalla Meryem Cup on the Ladies European Tour in 2014. The warrant named Salih Muslim of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and nearly 50 other people. The PYD is affiliated with YPG Kurdish militias, who are backed by the US in the fight against jihadist group Islamic State (IS) in Syria. Turkey has blamed the PYD and the YPG for the bombing of a military convoy in Ankara in which 28 people died. Both groups have rejected claims that they had any involvement in the February attack. The US has also cast doubt on the Turkish allegation, and a dispute over the two groups' role in Syria has strained relations between Washington and Ankara. Turkey has long insisted that Syrian Kurdish militants are an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has carried out an insurgency in the south-east of Turkey for decades. The Syrian Kurds reject the claim. A Turkey-based Kurdish militant group - the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK) - has said it carried out the 17 February attack. The TAK was once linked with the PKK. The two groups are classified as terrorist organisations by Turkey and the US.

"I thought he'd done that on purpose - it looks like he did," Carver said. "The ball was off the pitch - he had no need to make the challenge. He will miss two games. Is it an easy way out?" Carver had not calmed down by the time of the post-match news conference. "I thought he meant it. When the ball went on to that left-hand side my first reaction was don't do it. He did it. Vardy was off the pitch, Willo was off the pitch, the ball was off the pitch. There was no need to do it and I'm not accepting that. "I told him that to his face. I don't want to go into his reaction." Carver was furious with his side and in honest post-match interviews said: BBC pundit Martin Keown said Carver "is taking players apart" and he should be supportive publicly. Robbie Savage said it was "one of the worst sides I have ever seen in the Premier League". Of his side's other red card, Carver said: "I got keeper Tim Krul to speak to Daryl Janmaat, I told him to stay calm and he didn't. The game had gone away from us. We can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot." The Magpies are in relegation trouble having lost eight consecutive Premier League games under Carver, who is in charge until the end of the season. Newcastle conceded a Leonardo Ulloa goal after 38 seconds and a Wes Morgan strike in the 17th minute. Ulloa sealed the game after the break from a penalty. Media playback is not supported on this device Former Arsenal centre-back Keown on Final Score was not impressed with the Newcastle manager. "When you're in a position like Newcastle are in, you have to stick together, but John Carver is digging players out. There was a lack of desire, granted, but he is out of his depth at the moment. "It's not just about demanding the effort. He needs guidance on how to behave because he is taking players apart. Just don't say it. If he was an experienced head, a long-term manager, he wouldn't do that." Former Newcastle striker Michael Owensaid on Twitter: "Amazing quotes from Carver. Fans may like that type of honesty but as a manager, I'm not sure you can say things like that. I guess we haven't heard the end of this one." But ex-Manchester United defender Phil Neville, speaking on Match of the Day, felt Carver's criticism of his team's performance was justified: "The comments about his Newcastle team were strong from John Carver, but they could've been stronger. The Newcastle players were a disgrace. "Mike Williamson's sending-off was a reckless challenge, but I don't think he did it on purpose and that was a silly comment from the manager to suggest he did. "But I look at Newcastle and see the supporters protesting, the manager having a go at the players and the players playing like that. They're in a sorry state." Former Derby midfielder Savage on BBC Radio 5 live:"Mike Williamson's challenge was bizarre, with Jamie Vardy off the pitch. Daryl Janmaat's challenge was stupid and meant they finished with nine men. There was a real lack of discipline. "The performance from some of the Newcastle players was so, so poor. I have never seen such a poor display from a group of players. That was one of the worst sides I have ever seen in the Premier League. "I played in the worst Premier League team of all time - that Derby side of 2007-08 - and there were times when, with the crowd against you, that I thought: 'If I get sent of here I'll miss the next few games.' Because playing was making it worse. "There are only two people who will ever know - Williamson and Janmaat." Ex-Nottingham Forest manager Stuart Pearce was at King Power Stadium for BBC 5 live. "The worst-case scenario you could paint for the football club has happened - they lost 3-0 and had two players sent off. The finger of blame should not be pointed at the manager but solely at the players. They need to give more for this wonderful club." Former Leicester striker Dion Dublin told Final Score: "It's harsh from the manager. I think a lot of it is because he's just finished the game. For me it's similar to Nigel Pearson and the comments he made the other night in his post-match press conference, for which he has since apologised. "I don't know any players who would want to get sent off so they can get out of the firing line. I'm hoping John Carver is just trying to put the pressure on himself because they have had a stinking set of results. It's woeful to see a club like Newcastle suffering like they are." Northern Echo journalist Scott Wilson on Twitter: "Brutal honesty from Carver with written press. Completely stood by Williamson comments and said Colback/Krul only players excused of blame." The Set Pieces editor Iain Macintosh: "That's the most extraordinary press conference I've ever attended. Carver absolutely destroyed everyone, save for Colback and Krul. Those players aren't going to let Carver on the bus home." Irish Independent journalist Dion Fanning: "John Carver seems to have taken Nigel Pearson's midweek press conference as a personal challenge. Astonishing performance." Pembrey in Carmarthenshire saw the mercury drop to -6.7C, with similar lows parts of Ceredigion and Powys. The cold snap is not expected to last as highs of 12C are predicted in Cardiff on New Year's Day. The clear skies and sunshine have produced some beautiful winter scenes, as walkers round the country recorded. Eight-year-old Yuusuf Warsame was killed while visiting relatives in August when a grenade was thrown into a flat in Gothenburg. Swedish police said the male suspect, "has now died". Yuusuf's mother Deega Bibi told the Birmingham Mail her family has been left "psychologically scarred". Police said the "despicable" attack may have been linked to an underworld feud. Yuusuf, a pupil of Nelson Mandela Primary School in Birmingham, was asleep in bed with his mother, brother and sister when the grenade smashed through a window and bounced off a wall towards them. He died of his injuries on the way to hospital. His mother told the newspaper: "I had no idea what had happened, but there was a lot of smoke and damage. At first I thought the loud bang was something like a fridge. "I carried Yuusuf into the corridor and held him. It was dark and it took a while to realise he was covered in blood. I could not wake him, so I laid him back on the bed. "What happened in that room that night will never leave me." Mr Trudeau said he and his cabinet members make themselves available to a broad range of Canadians. Critics say the "cash-for-access" events allow special access to cabinet ministers. The Liberal Party says it is following political fundraising rules. But Conservatives say the practice goes against the Liberal party's own "open and accountable" ethics code. Last week the opposition party asked the federal ethics and lobbying watchdogs to look into whether any of the events potentially broke federal conflict of interest and lobbying rules. Trudeau faces 'cash-for-access' criticism Mr Trudeau fielded numerous questions from journalists on Monday over the Liberal Party practice of charging people up to CA$1,500 ($1,140; £900) to attend fundraisers with him and senior cabinet members. "I can say that in various Liberal Party events, I listen to people as I will in any given situation, but the decisions I take in government are ones based on what is right for Canadians and not on what an individual in a fundraiser might say," he said. Mr Trudeau said he is "always open to discussions and suggestions on how we can improve the confidence people have in our political system". In Canada, political contributions to federal parties were capped at CA$1,525 in 2016. Union and corporate donations to political parties are banned. Only Canadian citizens can donate. During Monday's wide-ranging, year-end news conference, Mr Trudeau also spoke emotionally about his personal "low point" over the last 12 months, which was his first full year as prime minister. He said it was the death of two Canadians held in the Philippines by Abu Sayyaf militants. Robert Hall and John Ridsdel were killed by the Abu Sayyaf group after a multi-million dollar ransom deadline expired. The two men had been kidnapped by the Islamist group in September 2015, along with Filipina Marites Flor and a Norwegian, Kjartan Sekkingstad. Both were later released. It is official Canadian government policy not to pay ransoms for Canadians kidnapped abroad. Mr Trudeau said it was "personally difficult" to have the responsibility of "directing and articulating the Canadian position" and to speak with the bereaved families. The decision comes after the Welsh government said it would not step in to rule on the application at Llanbedr, near Harlech. Snowdonia National Park Authority says the plans will be approved, subject to conditions, which are yet to be decided. Park charity Snowdonia Society said the site was inappropriate. It wanted the Welsh government to call in the plans and to hold a planning inquiry. But it has now referred the decision back to the park authority. The airfield employed 130 people before it closed in 2004. Llanbedr Airfield Estates was previously granted a certificate to use the site to test unmanned aerial vehicles at the former military air base. Earlier this month it applied to the park, as planning authority, to re-use hangars and associated buildings for aircraft maintenance including decommissioning / disassembly, parts recovery and refitting together with engineering training. It says it would take up to 28 days to dismantle narrow bodied commercial airliners such as a Boeing 737 with bigger Boeing 747 taking up to 42 days. After the airfield closed, Llanbedr Airfield Estates wanted to use the land for private flights and let empty buildings for business use. When Chris Vickery discovered the security risk and alerted uKnowKids, it accused him of hacking its systems. The US firm's chief told the BBC he was concerned that Mr Vickery had refused to delete screenshots of the data, which included images of children. Mr Vickery said that he wanted to ensure uKnowKids dealt with the issue. Chris Vickery found millions of text messages and images plus 1,700 "detailed child profiles" belonging to uKnowKids customers via the search engine Shodan. The MacKeeper security expert said the database was not password protected. uKnowKids' chief executive Steve Woda put this down to "human error" saying a third-party had installed it. The vulnerability was fixed within 90 minutes of notification, uKnowKids said. Mr Vickery said he had deleted the files he had accessed but kept a few "redacted" screenshots as a record, in case the firm tried to cover up the breach. Mr Woda said his firm would not have acted that way. "We're not running from it," he said. "I am super thankful to Mr Vickery for sharing [his discovery] with us. "Where the line was crossed was when we said: 'Can we reassure ourselves and our customers that the data we know has been exploited, will not be exploited?' "During the phone call I asked him to delete [the data he had], he told us no, he wouldn't." Mr Woda said he also suggested that the pair work together to publicise the vulnerability and involve the Federal Trade Commission. "If somebody takes your bike and you say give it back, are you intimidating them?" he asked. "I have no animosity. I just wish he would have respected our customers' data." He added that he used the word "hack" in a blog post on the firm's website in order to convey to his customers the seriousness of the situation. Chris Vickery said that he was offended by the suggestion that he had acted illegally. "I am not inclined to cooperate on joint releases with someone who directly accuses me of criminal activity. I have done nothing wrong," he said. The row highlights the grey area in which ethical hackers operate - seeking out security weaknesses and vulnerabilities and informing the data owners rather than exploiting them. They typically act without obtaining consent in advance, and deal with very sensitive material. "Anyone researching security has a duty of care," said cybersecurity expert Professor Alan Woodward from Surrey University. "As this data concerns children, I would have hoped that the researcher would have exercised great caution and acted in such a way that he was not adding to the risks of the data being copied into the wild - notwithstanding that the data was publicly visible anyway. "I think both sides in this story could have handled it better."

This was attributed to its struggling mobile business, which has been losing money due to competition from global rivals such as Apple and Samsung. Sony also said it would not pay a year-end dividend for the first time. In a statement, Sony said its latest plan had been "modified to address the significant change in the market and competitive environment of the mobile business." This is the sixth profit warning from the company, which made the announcement after Japanese stock markets had closed. Analysts say that while the company faces a hard time returning its smartphone division to profit, it is not impossible. "They are not the only smartphone vendors to be under a lot pressure," Rachel Lashford from consultancy Canalys said. "With the right restructuring and focus on products, at the right prices, it is absolutely possible for vendors to move forward." Ms Lashford said both South Korea's LG and Taiwan's HTC have seen their smartphone divisions return to profit after several straight quarterly losses. Sony has been struggling for several years, and now it has decided for the first time since it was listed on the Tokyo stock exchange not to pay a dividend to shareholders. The company blames the latest deterioration on its mobile phone business. It has struggled to compete with the dominant players in the smartphone market, Apple and Samsung as well newer Chinese suppliers. Sony plans to cut staff in the mobile phone unit by 15% to reduce costs. Sony's television business is also struggling, though other operations, notably the PlayStation games console, are more successful. Major restructuring Sony has been losing money for the past few years and has undertaken a major restructuring to try and stem the losses. Once an investor darling, Sony has also seen its credit rating reduced to junk due to its poor financial performance. Under chief executive Kazuo Hirai - who took charge in 2012 - Sony sold off parts of the business deemed not central to the company's operations, including its personal computer business. It also sold its US office building in New York for more than $1bn, and the "Sony City Osaki" premises in Tokyo, which had been its headquarters for six decades. In addition, Sony culled 5,000 jobs from its computer and hard-hit television unit, which Mr Hirai has so far refused to sell because it is considered a core business. Sony's high-end Xperia smartphones have seen poor sales in China and the US because of local competition and limited distribution. In its search for new revenues, the company recently unveiled a new range of smartwatches and launched a smartphone that will allow gamers to integrate the device with its PS4 PlayStation console. The 26-year-old Gloucester back has been out since he damaged his left knee against Harlequins in January. "It's been really tough and I've worked so hard at this and its coming on the way I would have hoped," he told BBC Radio Gloucestershire. "I'm pretty sure I'll be pretty much fully fit by October and then we start to think about getting back out there." He continued: "I'm up to about 90% of my top speed prior to injury which is not bad considering where I'm at and I'm just thinking if I can go up a percentage a week then I'll be in a good place." May has scored seven tries in 19 appearances for England since his international debut in 2012, but his injury put him out of the Six Nations and the triumphant summer tour to Australia. "Eddie Jones has been wanting updates throughout and he is keen to get me back in there [for England] as soon as possible," May added. "I saw him at the weekend and he's just saying get fit as quick as you can I just assured him I'm doing everything I can." Kaepernick has refused to stand for the national anthem in a protest against the plight of black people in the US. A letter from Santa Clara police says Kaepernick's actions and statements are "false and insulting". It accused the 49ers of failing to take any action to stop them. Kaepernick's protest has stemmed from the racial tensions that increased across the nation this year amid a string of police killings and subsequent revenge attacks. The player stayed seated during The Star-Spangled Banner at a game a week ago and on Thursday chose to kneel during the anthem. The 28-year-old has said he will continue until he sees improvements in US race relations. The Santa Clara Police Officers' Association letter, obtained by NBC Bay Area, said that Kaepernick had "made the allegation that police officers are getting paid to murder people". It accused the 49ers of "allowing Kaepernick to wear exposed socks with the image of a pig wearing a police hat". "The 49ers organisation has taken no action to stop or prevent Mr Kaepernick from continuing to make inaccurate, incorrect and inflammatory statements," it said. "If the 49ers organisation fails to take action to stop this type of inappropriate workplace behaviour, it could result in officers choosing not to work at your facilities. "Our members have the right to do their job in an environment free of unjustified and insulting attacks." About 70 Santa Clara officers patrol Levi's Stadium during the home games. Kaepernick on Thursday vowed to continue his protest, saying: "The message is that we have a lot of issues in this country that we need to deal with." Teammate Eric Reid joined him in the latest protest. Seattle Seahawks player Jeremy Lane also sat on the bench during the anthem at a game in Oakland. He later told the News Tribune: "I wasn't trying to say anything, just standing behind Kaepernick." In the eye of a media storm Kaepernick's protest has drawn strong reactions both in opposition and support. An online petition demanding the NFL punish Kaepernick attracted more than 53,000 signatures by Friday. But some veterans and military members tweeted their support for Kaepernick with the hashtag #VeteransForKaepernick. The NFL says it encourages players to stand for the anthem but that it is not a requirement. Although police officers cannot be made redundant, officers with 30 or more years' experience can be made to retire under existing regulations. Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said it was "deeply worrying" 13 forces had decided to use them in some form. Ministers have said savings can be made without affecting front-line policing. Police budgets are being cut by 20% over the next four years, with a 4% cut in the first year and 5% the year after. But ministers insist these savings are achievable by cutting bureaucracy and more efficient use of resources, including forces sharing some back-office functions. Fully sworn police officers are servants of the Crown, not employees, so they cannot be made redundant under existing laws. However, forces are able to get permission to use a regulation known as A19 to make officers with 30 years' experience or more retire early. Labour said details obtained under Freedom of Information showed 13 forces definitely intended to use this power and that 1,138 officers either have or will be forced to retire by 2015. Another 986 officers could also be affected, the opposition have suggested, if other forces decided to proceed on the same basis. "Some of these officers are the experts in their fields and internationally respected for what they do in the fight against crime," Ms Cooper said. "The home secretary must realise that you cannot make 20% frontloaded cuts to the police without losing the very crime fighters we need. The home secretary is taking unacceptable risks with public safety and the continued fight against crime." The Policing minister Nick Herbert said he did not accept the figures, adding it was the effectiveness of officers not their total numbers that counted. In November the Home Office said 3,200 officers in England and Wales could be affected if all forces chose to enforce the compulsory retirement rule. Home Office sources have said it is a matter for individual forces how staff are managed but they believe forces should be able to identify enough savings to ensure the budget cuts have no effect on the level of service the public receives. One of the officers forced to retire under the A19 rule told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that it was a "crude tool" to reduce staff numbers. "I am one of the people who turn up at the front line," said Sergeant Dave Hewitt, 48, who finishes with the West Midlands Police on April 1 after a career spanning 32 years. "In the West Midlands it's affecting ranks from chief superintendent to police constable and it is affecting the top end where you've got a lot of experience, a lot of quality officers." West Midlands Police told the programme the decision to use the A19 regulation had been difficult, but a spokesman said the number of officers affected by the rule was relatively small, amounting to 649 - out of a force of 8,500 officers - over four years. About 95% of officers who reached 30 years' service retired anyway, he added, and the force would ensure safeguards were in place for succession planning and passing on key skills. Last month, Labour said its research suggested at least 10,190 uniformed police officer posts were set to disappear by the end of next year in England and Wales as part of cuts. The 30-year-old midfielder played under Cook at Sligo Rovers three times between 2008 and 2012, as well as at Accrington and Chesterfield. The duo also played together at Stanley in 2005-2006. Boco has signed on a deal until the end of the season and has been sent straight out on loan to National League South side Havant & Waterlooville. The 48-time capped international made 19 appearances for Chesterfield last season before leaving in January to join Indian side Bharat FC. Officers were called to the rave in Avonside Industrial Estate, off Feeder Road, in the early hours. A spokesman said a "large number" of people were partying and three officers were injured. Eight people were arrested for offences including assaulting police, public order, criminal damage and driving under the influence of alcohol. Support units, dogs and roads policing officers were drafted in to close down the event. Det Insp Dom Graham of Avon and Somerset Police said: "Some of our officers were targeted with makeshift missiles during the course of their duties, which is completely unacceptable." Speaking on Monday, Ms Yellen was upbeat about the US economy, but added that Friday's weaker-than-expected jobs figures were "concerning". Ms Yellen reaffirmed plans to raise rates gradually but did not give a specific timeframe. Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 0.5% to close at 16,656.25. In China, the Shanghai Composite was up 0.6%, while in Hong Kong the Hang Seng rose 0.8%. South Korea's Kospi index gained 1.3% to end the session at 2,011.63. Bernard Aw, an analyst with IG Markets, said it was clear the Fed thinks "June is not the month to make a move". "The slightly dovish remarks sat well with the financial markets, prompting a rally in equities." Both Australia and India kept interest rates on hold on Tuesday, which was in line with market expectations. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept borrowing costs at a record low of 1.75%. "It was clear from the recent run of strong activity data that the RBA was never going to hit the panic button and cut interest rates twice in two months," Paul Dales from Capital Economics said. Sydney's ASX 200 index closed 0.12% higher at 5,366.70. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept its benchmark repurchase rate at a five-year low of 6.5% after inflation kept within its target range. Meanwhile questions continue to swirl around whether RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan will be reappointed after his term ends in September. Earlier today, commodity prices rose by more than 20% from their January lows to climb into a so-called bull market. The price of raw materials ranging from soybeans to copper all rose overnight according to the Bloomberg Commodity Index. Police told BBC Hindi that the child was killed on the instructions of a "sorcerer" to "cure" a paralysed man. The man's brother and sister have been arrested on charges of abducting and murdering the girl. The alleged sorcerer told them it was the only way to undo "black magic" affecting their sibling, police said. A 17-year-old boy has also been arrested for helping to abduct the girl, police said. "There are a few more people who have abetted the crime. We are investigating it from all angles. So more arrests cannot be ruled out," senior police officer B Ramesh told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi. The murder was discovered after residents discovered the body of the girl inside a bag. They also found materials which police believe were used to conduct "black magic" rituals. As news about the incident spread, a mob gathered outside the brother and sister's home and began throwing stones. Police had to use force to disperse the gathering. Kayleigh Green put Wales ahead but Julie Nelson headed Northern Ireland level before half-time. Nadia Lawrence restored Wales' lead early and substitute Hayley Ladd sealed the win with 10 minutes remaining. Wales' two games against Northern Ireland are part of their preparations for the upcoming Fifa Women's World Cup Qualifying campaign. This was a non-capped fixture, after Jess Fishlock celebrated her 100th cap in style as Wales secured a comfortable 3-1 win over Northern Ireland on Wednesday. Ronan Hughes' family had been critical of what they said was police "inaction" after the 17-year-old revealed what was going on. Gerard and Teresa Hughes said a Nigerian gang demanded more than £3,000 from their son. They then sent images of him to his friends on social media. The family were accompanied during Thursday's meeting by Sinn Féin's Michelle O Neill and Francie Molloy. Afterwards Ms O'Neill said there were lessons to be learned from how the case had been handled. "Coming from such a tragic event there now appears be a step change in how such cases will be dealt with," she said. "For instance Facebook previously waited three to four days following a complaint from a police service to remove a page. The Hughes family were given reassurances that any such pages will now be removed immediately following such a complaint. "Further to this the family were informed that the PSNI have now issued guidance to all its officers as to how to deal with such cases and will be increasing training in this field. "It is clear that this is a growing area for crime and needs to be focused on." Ms O'Neill said the Policing Board had asked for details and the PSNI had also referred the case to the Police Ombudsmans office. Robert Shepherd, of Tullibody, Clackmannanshire, is alleged to have failed to keep his 1954 Alvis Saracen vehicle under control in August 2015. He is accused of allowing the vehicle on to the opposite carriageway of the B908 road near Alva, narrowly avoiding a collision. Mr Shepherd pleaded not guilty to the charge at Alloa Sheriff Court. It is alleged that he failed to stop the six-wheeled tank-like vehicle as it approached the River Devon road bridge in Clackmannanshire, in order to allow another vehicle on the bridge to cross over. Mr Shepherd's solicitor, Mike Lowrie, asked for more time to prepare the defence case. He said he had encountered "some difficulty finding an expert with some knowledge of the type of vehicle" to give evidence in Mr Shepherd's defence. Sheriff Gillian Wade set the trial for 5 July. The Saracen can carry a squad of eight soldiers plus a troop commander. It was first built in 1952 for the Malayan Emergency and has a top speed of 45 miles per hour. The 31-year-old former Leicester and England forward has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Rams. "He's a proven goalscorer at Championship level and has a great deal of experience to bring to the table," Derby manager Steve McClaren said. Nugent, who began his career with Bury in 2003 before joining Preston, won his sole international cap in 2007. He came on as a substitute against Andorra in a Euro 2008 qualifier, during McClaren's spell in charge of the national team, and scored a goal in a 3-0 victory. The Rams tried to sign Nugent 10 years ago but he opted instead for a £6m move to Portsmouth. After four years with Leicester, he joined Middlesbrough in August 2015 and has since made 42 league appearances, scoring eight goals.

Polling stations across the county closed at 22:00 BST for voting for a third of seats for Exeter City Council and Plymouth's unitary city council. The counts are due to be held on Friday and results expected later in the day. Both cities are currently controlled by the Labour Party. People across Devon also voted in the European elections, with results expected to be announced on Sunday. The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said about 170 men are on open-ended sentences at the jail near Devizes. A lack of funding has led to the withdrawal of mandatory courses those prisoners are required to undertake in order to qualify for a parole hearing. The IMB said the matter is causing "a destabilising influence in the prison". Its report claimed the cost of keeping each prisoner who is over tariff at the Category C jail amounts to more than £20,500 per annum. Inspectors advised the government to implement a "finite action plan" to address the needs of prisoners affected which must include funding of courses to "reduce the wait times, and increase the number of parole boards". The report also recommended a national database to identify prisons which deliver interventions and match prisoners to appropriate courses. However, the Ministry of Justice said those who remain in custody do so because the independent parole board "has assessed them as posing an unacceptable risk to the public". The Criminal Justice Act 2003 introduced indeterminate sentencing for public protection for serious sexual and violent offenders. The Prison Reform Trust said: "A lack of resources means that prisoners are unable to prove their reduced risk and are waiting longer and longer for a parole decision, with no means of knowing when, or if, they will be released. "To right this wrong would not only save over £40m a year but should also be done on grounds of simple humanity." Erlestoke Prison did not wish to comment on the report. HMP Erlestoke houses about 500 men and specialises in rehabilitating long-term prisoners and preparing them for release. Gilmour, 23, underwent surgery on a knee injury after failing to reach the last 16 at the Olympics in Rio. "I'm really quite excited," she said of Wong's appointment. "It will be a nice starting point for me. "I'm hoping to build my training back up in December and I think he is going to come across in January to start." Wong, who has been women's singles coach to the Badminton Association of Malaysia, is known to the Scottish number one. "I didn't really know that I knew Tat Meng Wong, but I do," Gilmour, who is 19 in the world rankings, told BBC Scotland. "He coached against me in the final of the Belgian Open last year. "He was not shy in pointing out what he thought I should work on. "I lost to his player, so he knows what he's talking about." Gilmour's injury means she will miss the Scottish Open Grand Prix, which starts on Wednesday at Glasgow's Emirates Arena. She is disappointed to miss her home event for the first time since making her debut at the age of 15. However, she explained that the operation was a necessity after picking up the injury at the Australian Open in May. "My whole preparation for Rio was hampered by that," she said. "I couldn't prepare as perfectly as I would have hoped. "With the physio team at UK Sport and GB Badminton, I managed to get on to the court in Rio and it was just about getting through that. "I went on holiday and came back and tried to get back into training and it hadn't improved at all. "I had the surgery and we are six weeks from that now and I am starting to get back on to the court. "So to hit the ground running with a new fresh coach is going to be really important to me." Bland, 44, made a birdie from shallow water at the 11th and scored an eagle on the 13th as he moved into contention for a career first European Tour title. He and Spain's Garcia, playing in Europe for the first time since he won the Masters, are 13 under par overall. Sweden's Joakim Lagergren, who shared the overnight lead, is one shot behind. "I hit some really good shots out there and I hit a couple of scrappy ones coming in but my short game saved me," Bland said. "I got my feet wet and holed a second shot into 13. So yeah, kind of ran pretty much into everything." Garcia said: "It's nice but it doesn't mean that it's finished. Still we have a long day tomorrow. We've got to go out there, play well again and see if we can pull it off." Time to Change Wales, started in 2012 to raise mental health awareness among adults, will run a young people's programme. It will initially work with pupils, teachers and parents at nine schools, using Big Lottery funding. Programme manager Lowri Wyn Jones said it was important to tackle mental health "stigma" at a young age. One in 10 young people will experience a mental health problem, Time to Change Wales said, with the associated stigma and discrimination often making life "even harder". The scheme will pilot in three schools in south Wales - Blackwood Comprehensive, Mountain Ash Comprehensive, and Ysgol Gyfun Cymer Rhondda - with others in mid and north Wales to follow. It will feature "young champions" - people with experience of mental health problems who will share their stories - and resources to help people talk about mental health. Ms Wyn Jones, said: "Mental ill health is something that can affect all of us, regardless of how old you are, which is why it's so important to start challenging the stigma associated with it from an early age. "We're positive that, by working closely with schools across Wales, we can help young people develop the confidence to talk more openly about mental health, whether at school, with friends or at home." Time to Change Wales champion Laura Moulding, 20, from Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent, has lived with severe depression with psychotic symptoms for as long as she can remember. At age seven or eight, she realise hearing voices was not something everyone experienced, but she kept it a secret and her mental health got worse. She said: "I was 15 when I finally told my mum about my mental health. Comparing my life all those years ago to now, I can honestly say that talking saved me. "I was afraid to speak up before. Nowadays, I am grateful to have support from my family, boyfriend and friends." Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said: "I would encourage young people to seek help and talk with someone they trust, whether it's a member of the family, a friend, a counsellor or a trusted teacher. "Where there are mental health issues it is really important to get help early, to help prevent problems from escalating." The start of the campaign will be marked by a special assembly at Blackwood Comprehensive School on Wednesday morning, with a series of workshops for Year 9 pupils.

The 'holographic' projection was part of a music event called Craze Fest on Saturday in Hammond, Indiana, within the metropolitan area of Chicago, but it was shut down within minutes. Now the company behind the presentation is threatening to sue the local mayor. Speaking to the New York Times, Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott said he believed Keef was "outlawed" in Chicago and so took steps to prevent the performance. Mayor McDermott told the newspaper that he had heard Keef had recorded a lot of songs about gangs and gun violence. Chief Keef, who has an outstanding warrant for lapsed child support payments in the state of Illinois, was originally due to perform via digital projection in a theatre in the centre of Chicago. However, organisers were forced to move that event after intervention from the city's mayoral office. The subsequent Craze Fest presentation was intended to be a surprise, according to the organisers, but police were made aware of the Chief Keef connection and arrived in time to shut off the display within minutes of the 'hologram' of Keef performing his track, I Don't Like. According to Craze Fest organiser Malcolm Jones, officers shut down power for the whole event before turning the lights back on. "The crowd were excited for Chief Keef, they had their phones out, they wanted to document the moment and once it got shut off everyone was a little disappointed," Mr Jones told the BBC. Steven Sersic, an attorney for Hammond Port Authority, told the BBC: "The police believed, based upon information that they had and based upon the fact that there had been some violence associated with that performer in the recent past, that the showing of the hologram had the potential to incite violence." The projection was not in fact a true hologram, but rather an illusion known as Pepper's Ghost, which uses glass or foil combined with special lighting techniques to make objects appear in mid-air. Alki David, owner of two firms which provided technology for the projection and an online stream of the event, has expressed his anger at the police intervention. "We're going to absolutely sue the city, sue the mayor personally and see if we can throw a lawsuit at [Chicago Mayor] Rahm Emanuel as well," he told the BBC. David said he has spoken to Keef since the incident and says the rapper is "very laid back" about it. "He's used to the police and city always shutting him down, that's been the case since day one," he commented. Mr Valls said the Socialists were dead and "I will be a candidate for the presidential majority". Party officials reacted warily, saying he had 24 hours to sign up. Emmanuel Macron won the presidency on Sunday and his new party has begun picking candidates for the June vote. The party, which has changed its name from En Marche (On the move) to La République en Marche, intends to have a list of candidates ready for the June vote by Thursday, drawn up from across French politics and civil society. It was only created 13 months ago and has no representatives in the National Assembly. Mr Valls resigned as prime minister when he stood unsuccessfully in the race to be Socialist presidential candidate and later backed Mr Macron to be president. However, his approach on Tuesday was not immediately welcomed with open arms. Macron spokesman Benjamin Griveaux, told French radio that Mr Valls had not yet been registered as a candidate by the party. "He should have applied like everyone else because the rules are the same for everyone. If you don't put your name forward you can't be selected by En Marche. He's got 24 hours," he said. Mr Macron won 66.1% of the vote on Sunday, while far-right opponent Marine Le Pen attracted 33.9% of the vote. A quarter of the population abstained in the election and more than 11% either cast blank votes or spoilt their ballot. Mr Valls's assertion that the Socialists were dead prompted anger from party colleagues. "I hope for France's sake that Brutus and Judas don't seek En Marche's party nomination," said Socialist MP Alexis Bachelay. And the former prime minister's interview came hours after an eye-opening fly-on-the-wall TV documentary on Mr Macron's campaign. The programme showed the next president back in December describing Mr Valls's actions towards President François Hollande as "a real betrayal", shortly after Mr Hollande announced he would not run for a second term in office. Mr Macron says in Behind the Scenes of a Victory that while he himself had left the government to avoid being party to the cynicism at the heart of the government, Mr Valls had remained and brought the president down from within. "If there is traitor, someone who has pulled the trigger on Hollande, it's Valls," he says. The man who beat Mr Valls to the Socialist candidacy, Benoît Hamon, was all but wiped out in the first round of the presidential election, winning just 6.36% of the vote. Seen as a notorious party rebel, he had attracted little support from the Socialist leadership. The timing of Mr Valls's comments was incendiary, shortly before the Socialists held a national meeting in an attempt to regroup after their electoral failure. 9 May: Mr Macron will mark the EU's Europe Day, the annual celebration of peace and unity in Europe. In his victory speeches on Sunday he focused on the need for a strong Europe 10 May: Marks France's Slavery Remembrance Day, then in the afternoon attends the funeral of Corinne Erhel, the legislator who collapsed and died while speaking at a Macron rally last Friday. Official election results are published 14 May: President François Hollande formally hands over power to Mr Macron 15 May He will name his choice of prime minister 15-19 May: Mr Macron must finalise candidates for his party in the parliamentary election 11 and 18 June: Parliamentary election held over two rounds. All 577 seats are being contested. Scottish Labour put forward a motion urging the government to step in over a series of proposals to close or downgrade NHS services. Health Secretary Shona Robison insisted that no final decisions had been made about any of the services mentioned. But the Tories, Greens and Lib Dems united behind Labour, with the SNP abstaining in the final vote. The motion only calls on the government to step in over the plans, so does not bind the minority administration to any action. The SNP narrowly avoided a defeat over tax reform a week ago only after Labour leader Kezia Dugdale's vote did not register. Labour's motion for the NHS debate highlighted proposed changes to services at the Vale of Leven Hospital, the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Inverclyde Hospital, Monklands Hospital, Lightburn Hospital, the Royal Hospital for Sick Children and the Centre for Integrative Care. The party argued that the proposals "constitute major changes in service provision" and therefore should be decided on by ministers rather than local health boards. Opening the debate, Labour's Anas Sarwar said MSPs "can and should speak with one voice", and "put political partisanship to one side" over the issue. He said: "Our NHS staff are facing ever-increasing stress whilst services face the axe. We have to do something. These cuts will have a direct impact on them and on patient care. "It would be completely unacceptable for the SNP government to sit back and watch vital local services be hit with cuts, closures or downgrades. Especially when the SNP promised these services would be safe before the election. "I reach out across this chamber to other constituency MSPs affected by these proposals. Today we have an opportunity to put aside our party allegiances and work together to protect our local NHS services." However, Ms Robison said no final decisions had been made about any of the services cited in the debate, saying health boards were continuing to consult on them in the "proper and responsible way". She said there was an "established, robust process" in place to make decisions, saying Labour were "quite inappropriately" trying to cut across the work of the Scottish Health Council. She said: "This government remains committed to robust, evidence-based policy making. I am prepared to take difficult decisions where the evidence supports it. "What we will not countenance is change being dictated to local communities as has happened in the past under a Labour administration. "Local people can be assured that this government will always focus our approach on providing as many services locally as possible, and our record in government stands in stark contrast to that of the previous administration." Tory MSP Donald Cameron said his party would back Labour over the issue, saying the government should "at the very least take a view" on the proposals instead of "sitting on its hands". He said: "There is clearly a wider public interest at stake here. There is widespread public concern about the public services changes in issue. "Given the public concern and controversy surrounding these particular proposals they should all be classified as major services changes so that the SNP government takes responsibility for these changes and can be held to account. "We accept that tough decisions have to be taken, even when they are not popular, but what is difficult to fathom is the approach of a government which is content to do nothing." Green MSP Ross Greer also voiced concern about the service changes, saying "the pace of change is too fast". He said there has been a "lack of robust and meaningful debate", calling for "far more discussion" over the proposals. Mr Greer and Lib Dem member Alex Cole-Hamilton joined Labour members and local health campaigners at a rally outside parliament prior to the debate. Mr Cole-Hamilton said he found it "astonishing" that parliament had only been given time to debate the changes during opposition debates. He said there were "challenging decisions" ahead, but said the current debate was an opportunity for Ms Robison to "enlist us as champions" for the redesign of services. Ms Robison put forward an amendment defending the government's position, which was defeated by 64 votes to 62. SNP members then abstained on the final vote, with Mr Sarwar's motion calling for the changes to be decided by ministers passing by 64 to nil, with 62 abstentions. In a statement issued later, a Scottish government spokeswoman said: "The government has ensured that all proposals from NHS boards for any major change to services go through a proper engagement and consultation process, supported by the Scottish Health Council. "That process is a hugely important part of the decision making process, and it is important it is allowed to complete its work. "Following the conclusion of that process, and taking account of the views of parliament, we will report back to parliament on the designation of service change proposals." Hasting Hotels bought Windsor House, Ireland's tallest office block, in the city centre in May for £6m. The company announced its intention to convert the building into a hotel, named the Belfast Grand Central Hotel, that would eventually create 150 jobs. Belfast City Council's planning committee met on Tuesday night and its members approved the £30m project. Meanwhile, US insurance company Allstate's plans for a new office development near the former Maysfield Leisure Centre in Belfast were also given the go-ahead. Concentrix, an American software company, had objected to the plans as it hopes to redevelop a neighbouring site. Allstate's development is expected to create 200 jobs, as well as provide more than £100,000 worth of community benefits, according to council documents. Plans from Queen's University for new student accommodation at Lennoxvale in south Belfast were withdrawn on Tuesday morning ahead of the meeting. The Briton, 30, beat Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov 6-4 4-6 6-2 6-0. Defeat for Murray would have seen both top seeds exit a Grand Slam in round one for the first time in the open era. Fellow Briton Johanna Konta earlier lost to world number 109 Hsieh Su-Wei, while Kyle Edmund impressed in beating Portugal's Gastao Elias 6-3 6-2 7-5. Murray goes on to face Slovakia's Martin Klizan, the world number 50, while Edmund will play either 12th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France or Argentina's Renzo Olivo. Olivo was just a game away from knocking the Frenchman out of his home tournament when the match was stopped for bad light with the world number 91 leading 7-5 6-4 6-7 (6-8) 5-4. "It was a decent start, considering how I played in the build-up," said Murray. Fellow Briton Aljaz Bedene reached the second round on Monday and plays against Czech Jiri Vesely on Wednesday. Murray has struggled for form and fitness in 2016 and arrived in Paris apparently more vulnerable than ever, but the first hurdle was cleared despite a patchy start. Kuznetsov, the world number 73, broke the Murray serve four times - twice in taking the second set - which prompted some self-mocking sarcastic applause from the Briton. The contest was very much on at one set all, but a moment of inspiration turned things in Murray's favour early in the third. It definitely got better as it went on Kuznetsov had him chasing down a lob, seemingly hopelessly, only for the Scot to send up a towering response over his shoulder that dropped just inside the baseline. The Russian could only fire his smash into the net, drawing a huge roar from the previously unengaged crowd, and Murray raced through eight straight points to take a grip on the match. Glimmers of the player who dominated the second half of 2016 began to emerge - a familiar backhand pass rocketed down the line, a drop shot that left Kuznetsov stranded. With coach Ivan Lendl typically poker-faced, it fell to the rest of Team Murray to gee up their man with shouts of "Come on Andy, let's go!" Murray did just that in the fourth set, taking a decisive lead as he stretched his domination to eight straight games. With the sun finally shining on a cooler day in Paris, Murray had the crowd on their feet with one magnificent drop shot on his way to sealing victory after two hours and 32 minutes. It was good I was able to regain my concentration and finish the match off in straight sets "It definitely got better as it went on," said Murray. "I started to move a bit better towards the end, and was hitting the ball better when I was defending. "That's something the last few weeks I haven't done so well and didn't start off the match doing particularly well. "But once I was getting a little bit more on my ball when I was defending, there wasn't too many openings for him in the points." BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller There were many reassuring signs for Murray as the match progressed: he started to move better and hit some exhibition style shots once he had conjured that remarkable over the shoulder recovery lob. The closing two sets will have done much for his confidence, especially as he had played quite passively and seemed to be lacking firepower in the opening two sets. Murray was broken four times in five games at one stage, but showed plenty of steel throughout the match as he converted nine out of 10 break points. Edmund, 22, started as the clear favourite against Portugal's Elias but impressed in reaching the second round at Roland Garros for the third successive year. The Yorkshireman hit a number of powerful forehands on his way to comfortably taking the first two sets and fought back from a break down to win the third. "I controlled a lot of the match," the British number two said. "In the third set it showed why in a best-of-five-set match you have to keep your concentration. I felt like I was cruising and still went down a break. "It was good I was able to regain my concentration and finish the match off in straight sets." He was in the Borders at the weekend at an event celebrating the Berwickshire farmer's achievements. Sir Jackie said Clark had been a "very good friend" and would have been his second son's godfather but for the crash which claimed his life in 1968. Fellow motor racer Allan McNish was also in Duns for the event. They were helping to mark the 50th anniversary of the season in which Jim Clark became the only man to win both the F1 and Indy 500 titles in the same year. It was the same season as Sir Jackie made his F1 debut. "He was a very, very good friend," he said. "We shared an apartment in London together - two fellow Scots - in 1965, my first year in Formula One. "I was on the podium with Jimmy three times, I think, the Belgian, the French and the Dutch grand prix. "We were, in those days, called Batman and Robin and there was no doubt who was Batman and who was Robin. "It was a great period in my life." Former Team Lotus chief mechanic Bob Dance said Clark was a gifted but down-to-earth individual. "He was exceptionally talented, naturally talented," he explained. "He was sympathetic to the car and just a high quality driver - quite calm and collected and easy to get on with. "He just used to get on with the job." More modern-day racer McNish said he thought it would be hard to repeat Clark's feats. "Those times have definitely changed - the world of motorsport has definitely changed and that is probably what makes so many people here today remember him," he said. "He was a Borders farmer that went on and dominated the world of motorsport. "I think it would be very difficult for someone to be able to do it again - however, I don't think anything is impossible. "You never know, there might be somebody here today that will just be inspired by it and want to take up carting and go on." The event in the Borders was also designed to raise the profile of plans for a new Jim Clark Museum in Duns by 2018. Sir Jackie was keen to back that project too. "It would be a good thing for Scotland, a great thing for the Borders and fantastic for Duns," he said. "We don't have that many great Scots but Jim Clark was a great Scot." The Smiler, which crashed, and Saw, a similar ride at Thorpe Park, would both be shut "for the foreseeable future", owner Merlin Entertainments said. Two rides at Chessington World of Adventures have also been closed until new safety protocols have been applied. Merlin Entertainments said the victims of the crash would "want for nothing". Two carriages, one of which was empty, crashed on Tuesday, leaving some passengers trapped for four-and-a-half hours. Two men, 27 and 18, a woman, 19, and a girl, 17, suffered serious leg injuries and remain in hospital. Daniel Thorpe, 27, from Buxton underwent surgery on Thursday, the BBC understands. Vicky Balch, 19, from Leyland in Lancashire, remains in a "critical condition" in hospital, according to her lawyer Paul Paxton. Ms Balch is expected to make a claim for damages, Mr Paxton said, although the main focus at the moment was on her recovery. "It is expected that serious consideration will be given to criminal prosecutions. The family are distraught that a fun day out could turn into such a potentially life-changing disaster," he said. Nick Varney, chief executive of Merlin Entertainments, said it was the "first major accident we've had on a ride in the company's history". "Our first priority has been to look after the people on that ride," he said. "We want to do everything we possibly can to support those families [most severely affected]. "We haven't managed to make contact with all of them and we are desperately trying to do that. "They will want for nothing in the sense of what they need, be it accommodation, transport anything. "And of course there will not be any question of them needing to go through the anguish of arguing for compensation." Alton Towers will remain closed on Saturday, but bosses hope to reopen the park in the "next few days". The Smiler ride will stay out of action until the cause of the accident is known. Health and Safety Executive (HSE) inspectors have served a prohibition notice on the ride stopping its use "until action is taken to deal with the cause of the failure". Mr Varney said there was "no conclusive answer yet", but the firm believed the accident was caused by a "rather unique sequence of events". It is estimated the park has been losing up to £500,000 a day since Tuesday. Sam Bailey, 30, from Kent, said she had been in the same row of the Smiler ride only a few days ago as those injured. "By chance I was sat on the front row of the carriage" she said. "It's crazy to think after seeing the pictures. I happened to be sitting on the same seat as them only a few days earlier." Ms Bailey was also at Chessington World of Adventure in Surrey on Thursday and said the Dragonsfury ride was shut down soon after 15:00 BST. The park's Rattlesnake ride is also closed. Mr Varney said extra safety protocols had been introduced across Merlin's theme parks, but it would take a few days to implement those on two Chessington rides as they used "different operating systems". He said Thorpe Park's Saw ride had been closed until the cause of the Alton Towers crash is known as it was made by the same manufacturer and was essentially a "very similar ride" to the Smiler. Merlin Entertainments said it was co-operating fully with the HSE investigation and intended to complete a "thorough appraisal" of its safety processes at Alton Towers "in the near future". The HSE said carriages involved in the Smiler crash would be removed later and taken to its laboratory in Buxton for further analysis. It said the prohibition notice did not affect other rides at Alton Towers. The report, from Public Health England, says UK deaths from the condition have quadrupled in 16 years to some 400 in 2012. The number of admissions to hospital for serious liver complications has also risen fourfold to 2,400. Charities say the "shockingly low level of treatment" is failing patients. Hepatitis C, a viral infection spread through bodily fluids, currently affects more than 200,000 people in the UK. According to experts intravenous drug use is the most common way of acquiring the disease in the UK. Three-quarters of people with the virus go on to develop chronic disease - which can lead to liver cancer and permanent liver scarring (cirrhosis). But the report shows the majority of people who need antiviral drugs to help clear the virus, do not receive them. Officials say this is in part due to people being unaware they have the condition (it can have no symptoms in early years) and because of a lack of testing and treatment facilities for communities that need it most. They warn that an extra 2,700 people could face hepatitis-C-related liver cancer or cirrhosis in England over the next year if the situation does not improve. Experts predict if everyone had access to newer, more effective medications, some 8,000 people could be prevented from suffering these often fatal complications by 2025. Public Health England says there is an urgent need for better monitoring of patients and wider testing for people at risk. They call for treatment to be expanded to non-traditional settings such as prisons, primary care and drug treatment centres. Charles Gore, chief executive of the Hepatitis C Trust said: "We must accept the rising hospital episodes and deaths, the poor diagnosis rate and the shockingly low level of treatment means we are failing patients. "This report highlights the pressing need for immediate scale-up of the whole response to hepatitis C from prevention, through diagnosis and into treatment. "Deaths from hepatitis C are now eminently preventable. It is up to us to see that we do prevent them." Dr Paul Cosford of Public Health England said: "The landscape of hepatitis C treatment is changing rapidly and an era of vastly improved treatment is potentially on the way. "In the meantime, the disease burden is rising and there is still a pressing need for infected patients to be treated as soon as possible." Before improved blood screening was introduced in 1991, some people acquired the disease through contaminated transfusions. And experts say individuals who have dental or medical treatments in countries with high rates and poor control of hepatitis C may continue to be at risk. The footage shows police officers firing on the car that Paul O'Neal, 18, was driving, before chasing him on foot. The panel called the footage "shocking and disturbing". New rules dictate that Chicago police must release video footage of a fatal police shooting within 60 days. The video rules are part of series of reforms put in place after the police officers shot and killed 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in October 2014. Video footage of McDonald's death, which contradicted the official police account, was released in November. The video sparked protests and led to the dismissal of the police chief. McDonald and O'Neal's deaths follows a long line of high-profile incidents involving African-Americans dying at the hands of the police, igniting a national debate about the use of lethal force. Police said O'Neal stole a car on 28 July, leading to a police chase. The shooting starts after O'Neal rammed the car into a police cruiser as he tried to flee the scene. A post-mortem exam found O'Neal had been killed by a gunshot wound to the back. The moment of death is not shown in the released footage. Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the fatal shot was not recorded because an officer's body camera was not operating. He said the officer may have been unfamiliar with how to use the camera or the camera malfunctioned. "We don't believe there was any intentional misconduct with body cameras," Mr Guglielmi said. Michael Oppenheimer, a lawyer for the O'Neal family, said the officers took "street justice into their own hands". Three of the officers involved in the shooting have been suspended. A preliminary investigation found they had violated department policy. Officers were called to a flat in Nettleton Road on 13 January and found two men with stab wounds. The 30-year-old and 47-year-old were taken to hospital. The 30-year-old died on Monday evening, police said. Anthony Keith Poole, 51, of Melbourne Street East in the city, has been charged with wounding with intent and remanded in police custody. A police spokesman said the man who died had been transferred from Gloucestershire Royal Hospital to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, where he died at about 23:50 GMT. Josh Walker, from Bristol, is charged under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000. Mr Walker, aged 26, who lives in Aberystwyth, is due before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday, South Wales Police said. He was arrested at Gatwick Airport by counter terror officers, last December. He had returned to the UK on 29 December and was detained at the airport by the Welsh Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit. The charge is "collecting or making a record of information that is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism". It is not really the weather for it but you might have one of these in a drawer somewhere. A hand-warmer. A small plastic pouch filled with a gel. Click the little piece of metal inside and you set off a chemical reaction. The gel begins to turn into a waxy solid. As it does it gives off heat. You can reverse the process by immersing the hand-warmer in hot water. The energy you are adding turns it back into a gel, ready to go again. There's a name for the stuff in the pouch: a phase change material. It's a bit like water when it freezes and changes from liquid to solid ice. Except that gel is "freezing" at more than twice the temperature of boiling water. So you get toasty hands (or feet - one of my colleagues has been known to stuff them into her socks when camping) and a wee bit of science theatre. It took a creative leap to take the idea further: could you scale up the phase change process so a hand-warmer became a house-warmer? Several big corporations - over several decades - tried to make it happen but each time the research petered out. Now an East Lothian company with fewer than 30 employees has succeeded. The equipment Sunamp have developed at their base in Macmerry has already been installed in 650 Scottish homes, providing heat and hot water for about half the cost of gas. Joan and Alexander Maclean's house is just a few miles from Macmerry. The solar panels on the roof are a clue to how cosy it is inside. The secret lies in a discreet white metal box in the airing cupboard. A box that Joan says "makes a lovely difference". She says: "It saves a lot of money, put it that way. You're getting your hot water for free. "Before that, this house was a really cold, cold house." With copper pipes coming and going from it, the box could be mistaken for a gas boiler. But it's more sophisticated than that. It's a battery that stores heat instead of electricity. At the heart of it a heat exchanger is immersed in a phase change material. Like a handwarmer, the material melts when heat is put in from the solar panels. Then when you turn on the tap in the kitchen or bathroom cold water flows into the heat exchanger, prompting the gel to solidify. Hot water flows out instantly. It does it again and again. Each box is capable of thousands of cycles. It is the result of eight years of work by Sunamp's CEO Andrew Bissell. The former Edinburgh University academic wanted a better way of storing renewable energy until it was needed. "It occurred to me that if you actually look at the pie chart of energy usage, far more of it is heat than electricity," he says. "And yet far more of the effort goes into electricity compared with heat. "So I said, 'I want to make a heat battery'." There is a heat battery on the table in front of us. A red plastic cell containing the heat exchanger and the gel. (They also do blue cells - cold batteries.) The red cells can be stacked together inside units like the one in Joan Maclean's cupboard. Other units are the size of small fridges, some even bigger than that. Sunamp have a particularly imposing black one that rises from floor to ceiling of their kitchen and is reminiscent of the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The principle may seem straightforward enough but there's been more to it than filling plastic boxes with gallons of handwarmer gel. Sunamp had to find just the right formulation to ensure maximum heat transfer and battery life. A huge number of possible formulations were screened using the Diamond Light Source - the UK's massive synchrotron in Oxfordshire. It is not the sort of thing the average small to medium business could afford but Sunamp had entered into a partnership with Edinburgh University. The company got the science and the head of the university's school of chemistry Prof Colin Pulham says he and his colleagues benefited in return. He says: "The governments are very keen that basic research leads to socioeconomic impact. "This is a classic example of where something has been taken from the bench all the way into a product and has the potential to have a major impact economically, but also improving people's quality of life - and also of course reducing CO2 emissions." The matchmaker between Sunamp and the university was a publicly funded organisation called Interface. In its 12 years of operation it has introduced well over 2,500 Scottish businesses to academic partners. "We've worked with a range of companies," says its director Dr Siobhan Jordan. "From food and drink companies that want to use hyperspectral imaging, a fantastic technology developed for the defence sector, to enable them to see inside cakes. "We've worked with chocolate producers in looking at how the chocolate has flavinoids that are really healthy. "But we've also worked with crofters, with farmers, with other energy companies - a whole range of different ideas." Sunamp's heat batteries have given them a shot at success. Growing demand has attracted investors and the company is looking for bigger premises. There's another success story. Sunamp's third employee came to Macmerry from Edinburgh university. Then David Oliver was a postgraduate student. Now he's the company's materials scientist - and Dr Oliver, having completed his PhD on phase change materials. He helped arrive at the final formula for the gel/solid in the heat batteries. The correct chemical description, he explains, is an alkali-soluble polymer. He says: "A lot of people think of polymers as being plastics, hard materials. "But some polymers also exist in a solution. "So you can dissolve these plastics in other materials and you get some quite dramatic changes in properties." Sunamp's formula contains several tweaks and additives. But it's not too far removed from the stuff used to flavour some brands of salt and vinegar crisps. We do not advise you to crack open a heat battery and having a taste. No, definitely don't try that at home. The Welsh Government wants to build a six-lane motorway between Magor and Castleton around Newport to relieve congestion on the current M4. Residents said Llanfihangel Rogiet, near Caldicot, would be "blighted" and have proposed a new "green route". The Welsh Government claims the alternative route would cost £51m more. Mike and Liz Smith and Graham and Jennifer Wynton, who between them have lived in the hamlet for 50 years, have put forward the proposal - one of 22 alternatives drawn-up by objectors to the Welsh Government's plans. The neighbours told the inquiry plans to create a new Junction 23, near to the current M4 and M48 interchange, at the eastern end of the scheme has "no real justification". The Welsh Government's proposal is for a 14.23m (23km) highway south of Newport between the current M4 junction 23A and junction 29, to open in in 2021, as they believe the current highway "is not fit for purpose". The "green route" proposal would start west of junction 23A on the current M4 and run along the eastern side of Llanwern Steelworks before taking the route of the Welsh Government proposed scheme around Newport. Mr Smith's submitted route, which would be 0.6 miles (1km) longer, would be west of Wilcrick and the Magor Brewery and east of Bishton, having a "slight adverse impact" on those villages. The suggested route would involve the demolition of bridges and have an "increased impact on the operations" of Tata Steel, the Welsh Government said in response. But the Welsh Government acknowledge the "green route" would have reduced environmental impact on the five sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) on the Gwent Levels than their preferred route. The Welsh Government argue the alternative route would impact on a deserted medieval village just west of Wilcrick Hill and on yet uncovered archaeological remains. The "green route" plan would also mean building a new motorway junction on the M48 between Caldicot and Rogiet and "utilise a massively under-used M48" instead of constructing the Welsh Government proposed Junction 23 between Magor and Rogiet. "We are not against a relief road," Mr Smith told the inquiry. "We recognise something needs to be done about the congestion on the M4 and, in particular, at the Brynglas Tunnels. "But junction 23 is the wrong junction in the wrong place. It is considerably over the top for what the local traffic needs." Mr Smith, the former deputy leader of Monmouthshire council and one-time chairman of its planning committee, said his plans would avoid demolishing the Grade-II listed Woodland House and a Roman archaeological site to the west of Magor. He told the inquiry the local authority recommended to the Welsh Government that "alternative options be considered" as their preferred M4 relief road scheme would have an "obvious, significant, permanent and detrimental impact on the character" of the Llanfihangel conservation area. Morag Ellis, QC for the Welsh Government, told the inquiry that UK Government statute says conservation areas are designated "not to create a landscape buffer." She added Monmouthshire council supported the Welsh Government's plan and have "lowered the alignment" of the proposed junction 23 after a recommendation from the local authority. On Friday the jurors unanimously found that 15-year-old Daniel Hegarty posed no risk when he was shot twice in Londonderry during Operation Motorman in July 1972. His cousin Christopher was also wounded. Des Doherty said prosecutions were now a "definite possibility". "The full rigour of the law has to be applied and it is now of course a matter for the coroner," the solicitor said. "This case was not about vengeance. It was about justice." The jury rejected claims that warnings had been shouted to the two teenagers before they were shot. The operation was aimed at reclaiming "no go areas" in the city from the IRA. Daniel, who was a labourer, was shot twice in the head by a soldier close to his home in Creggan. His cousin Christopher, 16, was shot in the head by the same soldier but survived. The jury found that none of the soldiers present attempted to "approach the injured youths to either search them or provide medical assistance". Mr Doherty said the record had now been "set straight". This is the second inquest into Daniel's death. The initial inquest was held in 1973 and recorded an open verdict. A second inquest was ordered by the Attorney General in 2009 following an examination by the Historical Enquiries Team. The report found that the RUC investigation at the time was "hopelessly inadequate and dreadful". The inquest opened on Monday and heard from Daniel's sister Margaret Brady. She described how her mother continued to set a place for him at the table and call him for dinner for months after his death. In 2007, the British government apologised to the Hegarty family after describing Daniel as a terrorist. In a Facebook post railing against "distorted and exaggerated" reporting, she denied taking meldonium every day and missing five warnings that the drug was about to be banned. She also criticised the tennis authorities for making the relevant information "too hard to find". Russian Sharapova, 28, will be provisionally suspended from 12 March. The five-time Grand Slam-winner, who faces a ban of up to four years, says she has been taking the drug, which was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned list on 1 January, for health reasons for the past 10 years. However, she insisted she had only taken the heart drug "in the low doses recommended". Taking issue with reports that a normal course of meldonium treatment lasts only four to six weeks, she added: "The story quotes the manufacturer of my medicine as saying: 'Treatment course can be repeated twice or thrice a year. Only physicians can follow and evaluate patient's health condition and state whether the patient should use meldonium for a longer period of time.' "That's exactly what I did. I didn't take the medicine every day." While Sharapova reiterated that she had "no excuses" for failing to be aware of the change in regulations, she criticised the way in which the information was communicated to players. "The communications? They were buried in newsletters, websites, or handouts," she wrote. "In order to be aware of this 'warning', you had to open an email with a subject line having nothing to do with anti-doping, click on a webpage, enter a password, enter a username, hunt, click, hunt, click, hunt, click, scroll and read. "I guess some in the media can call that a warning. I think most people would call it too hard to find." 28-year-old Sharapova concluded: "I have been honest and upfront. I look forward to the ITF hearing at which time they will receive my detailed medical records." Supply teacher Caroline Andrews, 52, was found dead at a house in Benenden on 4 February. A post-mortem examination revealed she died from compression of the neck. Kent Police said Stuart Andrews, 54, of The Street Benenden, appeared at Maidstone Magistrates' Court earlier charged with murder. He is expected to appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Tuesday. Antoine Maury, 21, was last seen on Monday at 22:30 after leaving friends at Edinburgh College's Milton Road East Campus. Pascal and Laura Maury will be part of Saturday's search which will centre on the area of Holyrood Park. Volunteers will meet at 11:00 in the car park at Holy Rood High School. Insp Alan Carson, of Police Scotland's Edinburgh Division, said: "The response from the public since Antoine's disappearance has been fantastic. "So many people have expressed a willingness to help find him as quickly as possible and I know that his family are extremely grateful for the support of the people of Edinburgh. "Those who are intending to help with our search activity on Saturday are asked to wrap up warm and wear suitable clothing. We want to make sure that any activity is conducted in a co-ordinated and safe manner. "Please also make sure that you have a fully-charged mobile phone with you and some snacks to help you throughout the day." Mrs Maury issued an appeal to Antoine on Friday, urging him to come home and saying he was not in any trouble. She called on people living in the area to check their outbuildings and garages. Mrs Maury also appealed for information from anyone who may be sheltering her son. Police said there was a possible sighting of a man matching Mr Maury's description near the Duddingston Village area of Holyrood Park, heading into the park, on Monday between 22:45 and 23:00. The man was topless. Laura and Pascal Maury said their son's disappearance was completely out of character. Mrs Maury said her son was well liked and had been enjoying his studies in Scotland. He has been a student at Edinburgh College for three months. Ms Maury said: "We are desperate to find Antoine and are appealing to anyone who might have information as to where he is or know if someone is sheltering him. "We want him to know that we love him, he is not in trouble and for him to come home. "We ask that anyone living in the area to please check their outbuildings and garages again to confirm that Antoine is not hiding there. "He is a very happy young man and there is no reason to believe my son would run away." Mr Maury was described as white, of medium build, 6ft with short brown hair, a beard and has a bleeding hand tattoo on his forearm. He has a good level of English, but was unfamiliar with Edinburgh. He has lost his glasses and his eyesight is not very good. The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals granted the reprieve less than eight hours before killer Scott Panetti was due to receive a lethal injection. His lawyers had argued he was too delusional to be executed and sought a delay so his competency can be tested. Panetti was convicted in the fatal shootings of his in-laws in 1992. The US Supreme Court in 2002 prohibited the execution of the mentally impaired, but have allowed it for mentally ill inmates with a rational understanding. A number of conservatives leaders had joined the fight to save Panetti's life, writing a letter asking Texas Governor Rick Perry to commute the death sentence to life in prison. "As conservatives, we must be on guard that such an extraordinary government sanction not be used against a person who is mentally incapable of rational thought," according to the letter. "It would be immoral for the government to take this man's life." Ellen Stewart-Klein, an assistant Texas attorney general, meanwhile told that appeals court Panetti's medical records "strongly indicate rational awareness of his impending execution and the reason for it". "Panetti's mental status has at best been severely exaggerated by his counsel," she added. On Monday, in a separate appeal to halt the lethal injection, Panetti's lawyers told the US Supreme Court the Texas inmate was severely mentally ill "before, during and after the crime for which he has been sentenced to death". Panetti was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1978 and hospitalised more than a dozen times before killing Joe and Amanda Alvarado. "Imposition of the death penalty on people with severe mental illness, as with people with intellectual disability, does not serve the two goals of deterrence and retribution because of their reduced moral culpability," his lawyers told the court. The Supreme Court added a provision mandating that an inmate have a rational understanding of why he was being put to death in 2007 under a previous appeal from Panetti. His case has gone to the high court for review at least five times since his 1995 conviction, records show. The Tigers will make a 13th successive play-off appearance when they go to Wasps in the semi-final on 20 May. Cohen told BBC Radio Leicester: "Getting to the semi-final is fantastic but the measurement of success at this club always has to be winning trophies. "It will be a successful season if we win the Premiership, although we have won the Anglo Welsh tournament." Saturday's 28-23 victory at Worcester in the final league game secured the fourth and final play-off spot. Leicester are the most successful club in England, with 13 league titles to their name, but have recently undergone a period of transformation. Matt O'Connor took over as head coach in April, replacing Aaron Mauger, who had been in charge since director of rugby Richard Cockerill was sacked in January. "I think the club is in a pretty strong place and always has been," continued Cohen. "We have a fantastic fan base and look at the record numbers who have come through the gate at Welford Road this year. "We have always had a strong base but what we needed to add to that was a complete clarity of thought in terms of how we play. "I think we now have that with Matt O'Connor and we will have that moving forward. We won't have the uncertainty, so the club is in a stronger position than it was." Cohen revealed that Leicester have secured new signings for the 2017-18 season, but the names would be under wraps for now. "We will announce the players when they are no longer playing for their clubs," said Cohen. "It is a little bit of a giveaway to say their current clubs are still involved in competition, but as soon as those competitions are over we will make those announcements. "It is not really fair to those players and clubs to make announcements when they are still in running for trophies." Twenty-two homes on the Nant y Felin estate in Pentraeth were evacuated during the blaze on Friday but residents have since returned to their homes It broke out at a petrol station in Pentraeth at about 04:50 BST. The A5025 between Menai Bridge and Amlwch had to be closed for a while while the blaze was tackled. Charlotte Wright, the agency's director of business and sector development, has been in the role in an acting capacity since last August. HIE's previous chief executive, Alex Paterson, left to join Historic Environment Scotland. Headquartered in Inverness, HIE works with businesses and communities in Argyll, Highlands, Moray, Western Isles and the Northern Isles. It has a budget of £65.9m for 2017-18, including £55.7m from the Scottish government, to invest in developing businesses, economic sectors and communities. The agency also co-manages the Scottish Land Fund with Big Lottery Scotland, operates Community Broadband Scotland and has subsidiary renewable energy company, Wave Energy Scotland. Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing said: "Charlotte has proven herself as an exceptional leader who is absolutely committed to making a difference in every part of the region, and I am certain she will be a highly effective and inspiring chief executive for years to come." In March this year, plans to replace the boards of Scotland's enterprise and training agencies with one national board were abandoned. Economy Secretary Keith Brown said HIE, Scottish Enterprise and Skills Development Scotland would continue with their own boards. He also announced that a national strategic board would be set up, to "align the work" of the agencies. Opposition parties welcomed the news but said the minister had been forced to make a u-turn. The Hollywood actor was speaking at an event promoting his docu-series, Project Greenlight, in Los Angeles. "It'll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come out," he told E! News. "Paul Greengrass is going to do another one and that's all I ever said. I just needed him to say yes." There have been three Bourne films starring Matt Damon. The first, Bourne Identity, was released in 2002 and follows CIA assassin Jason Bourne as he tries to remember who he is and what he's done in the past. Two more films, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, came out in 2004 and 2007. Jeremy Renner appeared in the fourth film in the franchise, The Bourne Legacy, which follows another agent Aaron Cross. Paul Greengrass directed The Bourne Ultimatum and The Bourne Supremacy. The news about a new film was initially revealed by Ben Affleck as he was being asked about having to work out to get in shape. He said: "[Damon's] going to be doing a Bourne movie next fall when I've just completely lost any semblance of physical fitness." Jason Bourne is based on a character in a series of novels by Robert Ludlum. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Jurors will decide if the supporters were unlawfully killed in the 1989 disaster. The seven women and three men will also consider if fans' behaviour added to a dangerous situation outside the stadium in Sheffield. The hearings are the longest running inquests in British legal history. Liverpool had been due to play Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989. But police asked for the match to be stopped six minutes in after noticing a crush on the terraces occupied by Liverpool fans. Four hundred people needed hospital treatment after Britain's worst sports stadium disaster. The jury will respond to a 14-section questionnaire on how the supporters died. Four sections of it asks whether police "errors or omissions" caused or contributed to the dangerous situation at the match and the crush on the terraces. Two other questions ask whether the police and ambulance service responses to the crushing "contributed to the loss of lives". Question six asks if the 96 were unlawfully killed. To answer yes to that question, jurors must be "sure" that Ch Supt David Duckenfield, who was in overall command of the police operation, was "responsible for the manslaughter by gross negligence" of the 96 who died. Coroner Sir John Goldring has told them to put their "feelings" about the disaster "to one side" and to "assess the evidence dispassionately and without emotion". The jury "should not make critical findings unless they are justified by the facts" but they "should not shrink from making such judgments if they are", he added. He began his summing up on 25 January and had been speaking to the jury for 26 days in total. Since the inquests began on 31 March 2014, it has heard from more than 500 witnesses, been shown more than 4,000 documents and watched footage from the day of the disaster. The jury has heard how a dangerous crush built up before the match as Liverpool fans tried to enter the stadium. Mr Duckenfield told the inquests he gave an order to open exit gates and allow the fans inside to relieve the pressure. Around 2,000 supporters went into the ground through exit gate C. Many of them went down a sloping tunnel that led into fenced enclosures on the Leppings Lane terraces, which already had hundreds of fans inside. The coroner has laid out four steps jurors must go through when answering question six in the questionnaire. Only if they answer yes to each can they conclude the 96 were unlawfully killed. For the final point to be proved, the jury has to be sure the match commander's breach in his duty of care was so bad that it amounted to a criminal act or omission, and that a "reasonably competent and careful" match commander in his position would have foreseen a "serious and obvious risk of death" to the supporters. Read profiles of all those who died in the disaster During his summing up, Sir John reminded the jury that Mr Duckenfield admitted several "mistakes", including that he did not think about where fans would go after opening gate C. Sir John also referred to Mr Duckenfield's evidence that he believed many people contributed to the disaster, including the fans, with those who arrived late overwhelming police resources and the turnstiles. The coroner has told the jury to consider his evidence "with great care". He added: "You should make your judgments on his conduct by asking whether he could and should have acted differently in the situation he was facing. "You should take into account the conditions he was facing when deciding what he should have done and what consequences he should have foreseen." Sir John said there were "significant conflicts" in the evidence about what happened at the disaster. One "highly controversial" area concerned what caused the crush among Liverpool fans before kick off, the coroner added. He said some of the police officers who had given evidence were "critical of the behaviour of the supporters" in Leppings Lane. But he said "many of the supporters gave evidence to a very different effect", saying the fans behaved "normally, sensibly" and "did not contribute to the dangerous situation in any significant way". Sir John said: "This is a highly controversial part of the evidence of the day, and you will have to make your own assessment of that evidence and your own decisions as to what you accept and what you reject. "You will have to resolve the conflict. No doubt, in doing so, you will consider all the witness evidence and the evidence of the [video] footage and photographs." The jury will also answer questions about whether there were any defects in the stadium and if there was any "error or omission" in the licensing and local authority oversight of the ground. There are questions about the conduct of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, both before the disaster and on the day, and of the club's engineers, Eastwood & Partners. Legal teams for the families claimed that "coordinated efforts were being made to manipulate the evidence and present a false narrative of the disaster", Sir John said. But he added the police involved in the process had "denied they had done anything improper" and were following the "guidance of experienced lawyers". The coroner told the jury: "It is entirely a matter for you what view you take about the way in which statements were gathered and then amended. You will take your own view about the motivations of those involved." Prof Andrew Bush and Dr Louise Fleming warn that although steroid inhalers are life-saving when used properly, their side-effects should not be ignored. And they call for more objective, careful diagnoses. Meanwhile charity Asthma UK says better tests are urgently needed. In the UK, about 5.4 million people currently receive treatment for asthma - 1.1 million of whom are children. Writing in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, the two respiratory doctors from Imperial College and the Royal Brompton Hospital in London acknowledge that asthma can be a fatal condition that was once not being diagnosed enough. They argue the pendulum has now swung too far the other way - with over-diagnosis resulting in some people seeing asthma as a trivial matter and overlooking the potential it has to kill. Doctors currently use guidelines to help work out if someone has the condition but making a diagnosis can be difficult as there is no definitive test. The article says doctors should think very carefully about each diagnosis they make and consider the use of more objective and sometimes more invasive checks - such as testing nitrogen oxide levels and blood tests - if they are unsure. And if a child is not getting better despite asthma medication then, instead of increasing doses automatically, they add that the possibility that the diagnosis might not be correct should be considered. The paper also urges medics to remember that many children outgrow their symptoms and says they should check diagnoses over time to ensure they are still relevant. New National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for England, which are now out for consultation before final approval, say doctors should use more clinical tests to back up their judgement and avoid the danger of wrongly labelling someone as having asthma. Prof Mark Baker of NICE said: "Accurate diagnosis of asthma has been a significant problem which means that people may be wrongly diagnosed or cases might be missed in others." Meanwhile the charity Asthma UK said more funds need to be put towards the research and development of a definitive test for the condition. The charity's Dr Samantha Walker added: "It is astonishing in the 21st century that there isn't a test your child can take to tell if they definitely have asthma. "Asthma isn't one condition but many, with different causes and triggered by different things at different ages. Asthma symptoms also change throughout someone's life or even week-by-week and day-by-day. "This complexity means that it is both over and under-diagnosed, in children and in adults, so people don't get the care they need to manage their asthma effectively. "As a result, a child is admitted to hospital every 20 minutes because of an asthma attack and asthma attacks still kill the equivalent of a classroom of children every year in the UK." Dr Martin Allen, a lung specialist and member of the British Thoracic Society, said: "The key message for patients is that they should carry on taking their medication as prescribed. "If patients have any concerns or want further advice on their care and treatment, they should always consult their health professional.'

Fighters who gave themselves up would receive training, employment and education, President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo said. Somalia has reported frequent terror attacks, and a spate of kidnappings. The announcement comes as at least 10 people were reportedly killed in roadside explosion in the Lower Shebelle region on Thursday The cause of the explosion has not been confirmed. President Farmajo announced the amnesty at a news conference in the capital Mogadishu, dressed in full military fatigues. "We want to pardon the Somali youth who were misled by al-Shabab," he said. He also announced a major shakeup in the drought-stricken country's security services. "Terror attacks have become frequent and all Somali forces are on a state of alert to combat insecurity and terror." Al-Shabab militants are suspected of a spate of kidnappings of aid workers in the drought-hit country. Analysts say the new measures aim to reinforce gains made by the UN mission in Somalia, Amisom, and government forces. It comes after US President Donald Trump relaxed some of the rules for preventing civilian casualties in Somalia when counter-terrorism air strikes are carried out, laying the ground for an intensification of the campaign against the group. Senior officers in Somalia's intelligence service and police force have been replaced to prepare for the escalating war against the militants. Mr Farmajo named a new military commander, director of national security and intelligence, commander of police and a new head of prison forces. The new president was elected in February promising a "new beginning" for the country. Al-Shabab - which is allied to al-Qaeda - is battling Somalia's UN-backed government and has also carried out attacks in neighbouring Kenya. Bellach, mae Môn wedi hel £412,000, sy'n trechu record Eisteddfod Sir Gâr yn 2014. Mae'r cyfanswm yn chwalu'r nod gafodd ei osod ar gyfer y brifwyl eleni, sef £325,000. Daeth 15,831 drwy'r giatiau ddydd Sadwrn - y nifer mwya' ar ddiwrnod cyntaf y Brifwyl ers 2013. Cafodd yr arian ei godi gan 28 o bwyllgorau apêl cymunedol ar draws yr ynys, ynghyd â mentrau fel apêl i gyfrannu £20 y mis am 20 mis. Dywedodd Prif Weithredwr yr Eisteddfod, Elfed Roberts, bod y newydd yn "hwb arbennig i'r coffrau ar ddechrau'r wythnos yma ym Modedern." Mae'r Eisteddfod yn dweud bod peth o'r arian ychwanegol eisoes wedi ei fuddsoddi yn y gweithgareddau sydd ar y Maes yn ystod yr wythnos a bod angen "diolch i bobl Môn" am hynny. Fe fydd cyfanswm terfynol yr arian gafodd ei gasglu yn lleol yn cael ei ddatgelu yn ddiweddarach yn y flwyddyn. The cash will fund extra triage and resuscitation areas as well as more treatment rooms at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor. Paediatrics facilities and waiting rooms will also be improved. Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said it would make "a real difference to patients accessing emergency and urgent care in north west Wales". Gary Doherty, chief executive at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, said: "The current department is too small and is not designed to meet the requirements of modern clinical practice. "This major scheme will provide state-of-the-art accommodation for the 52,000 patients who use the service each year and will help us transform medical and emergency care." The funding is for 2017-20, with work expected to start in March. The picture which was released by a Turkish news agency, is reported to be of three-year-old Alan, who drowned along with his five-year-old brother Galip and their mother, Rihan. Rozana FM, a new private Syrian radio station, said it had spoken to the father, who was a hairdresser in Damascus before moving to Turkey, on Thursday. They quoted him as saying that he repeatedly attempted to reach Greece and he had recently met two smugglers who offered to transport the family "for 4,000 euros" (£2,900, $4,500). The father also said that his son "is a symbol of the Syrian suffering", calling on the whole world to be "merciful of Syrians". The now-famous picture of the drowned boy in his red shirt spread like wildfire among Syrian social media users, with many editing the image to drive home messages of anger and dismay. Syrian cartoonist Yasser Ahmed drew an image of a shark and other sea creatures in the sea weeping at the sight of a boy's washed-up body on the shore. Many voice frustration at the perceived inaction of regional countries in the face of the Syrian crisis. Another image has Alan's body with the head of Handala, a well-known Palestinian cartoon figure, superimposed on it. The iconic signature image of Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali, Handala depicts a Palestinian refugee child with his back turned to the world, and is widely seen as a symbol of Palestinians' struggle for self-determination In another image, the boy's body was edited onto a cloud, as if to appear sleeping. The caption reads: "Up there, it is warmer". Syrian pro-government channels also used the photograph of Alan to assail what they portray as heartlessness of the wider world, especially. In a news bulletin on Wednesday, a Sama TV presenter said: "Oh boy, how much time it will take for humanity to understand this image". One day prior to the image being shared, the Syrian cabinet discussed the "shameful treatment" by some European countries of Syrian refugees, state-run Syrian news agency SANA reported. A column on the pro-government news website Champress says the dead child "should have been told the story of how Syria opened its doors in the past to all Arabs including the Lebanese, Kuwaitis, Iraqis and Palestinians". Echoing the same sentiment, a column on the website of the pro-government Baladna daily says that many children from Gaza, Qana (Lebanon) and Iraq have left the world before the Syrian child and that this war has to stop "for the sake of the children". Back on social media, many despairingly wonder whether expressions of outrage will result in any action to resolve the situation. "Will the media uproar caused by the photo any real impact in changing the course of the Syrian uprisings," Thaer Al Tahli - a Syrian journalist based in Jordan - wonders, recalling the famous photos of Hamza al-Khatib, a young Syrian boy killed at the beginning of the Syrian uprising. Another social user voices a similar feeling with an illustration depicting the young boy on the beach with a truck unloading a mass of Facebook "likes" onto him.

Lizzy Idahosa, 26, was sentenced to eight years in jail in 2014 after being found guilty of trafficking. A confiscation order for £21,905 has been granted at Cardiff Crown Court under the Proceeds of Crime Act. The money must be paid back within 28 days or she faces a further nine month prison sentence being imposed. During the original trial, the jury heard the trafficked women worked in brothels - including in Cardiff and Swansea - to repay Idahosa £50,000 for travel from Nigeria and false documents. Both victims, who could not be named for legal reasons, said that before travelling to London on the promise of a better life, they had been subjected to "juju" rituals to make them afraid of disobeying her. Idahosa was also found guilty of inciting prostitution and money laundering. Following the confiscation order, Gemma Williams, from Immigration Enforcement's Financial Investigation Unit, said: "Idahosa was prepared to take advantage of her victims' vulnerability and desperation for her own financial gain, but her greed has not paid off. "In addition to her hefty prison sentence, she has now been ordered to pay back money she took from her victims." 12 December 2015 Last updated at 19:23 GMT It is understood the woman was from Eastern Europe and had been living in the village for some time. Lisa McAlister reports. The proposals for the bridge were shortlisted from 50 entries in a competition launched by Bath and North East Somerset Council in February. The bridge will link Bath Quays with the city centre. The council said it was essential for the regeneration of the "neglected" quayside district. The winning design for the Bath Quays Bridge will be announced in November. Tim Warren, leader of the council, said: "A development of the scale of Bath Quays is a fantastic opportunity for Bath to reinvent a somewhat overlooked corner and connect it with the vibrant and beautiful historic city." Patrick Anketell-Jones, cabinet member for economic development, said it was a "game-changing development" for the city. "We want to gauge public opinion on the competition entries before we select the preferred design for what will become a major landmark in the city," he said. The designs for Bath Quays Bridge will be showcased at an exhibition to be held at the One Stop Shop on Manvers Street, Bath, from September 14 - 25. The designs will also be available to view online at bathnes.gov.uk. Dr Kong Fa Lan Keng Lun was previously found to have deficiencies in his care of women in Epping, Essex. Now it has emerged he failed to properly treat another patient in 2012 while working at Ipswich Hospital. The hospital said that due to legal action it could not comment. In 2007 the General Medical Council (GMC) found that Dr Lun had deficiencies in his care of women at St Margaret's Hospital in Epping, where 6,000 scans had to be reviewed in 2005. But the GMC, which placed a number of conditions on Dr Lun, also blamed the NHS trust, saying the unit was understaffed. The GMC has looked at the more recent case but decided to take no action against the doctor, though an independent report found Dr Lan's care fell seriously below the standard that would normally be expected. A GMC spokesman said it must "take into account whether a doctor has... taken action to address their shortcomings". In the most recent case, the 46-year-old woman, from Suffolk, who does not wish to be named, attended Ipswich Hospital in June 2012 and September 2013. Dr Lan carried out a mammogram and ultrasound but concluded there was no abnormality in either breast that would suggest the disease. Fourteen months later the woman was urgently re-referred to the hospital with the same symptoms and extreme pain. She had another mammogram and ultrasound performed by Dr Lan, who then requested a biopsy. This showed that the woman had breast cancer. The patient went to a private hospital and paid for a double mastectomy. She is suing Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust, claiming the delay in getting an accurate diagnosis has shortened her life expectancy. The trust admits that during the initial consultation more tests should have been arranged. However it disputes the claim the delay has reduced the woman's lifespan.

Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele's name is so long - containing 36 letters and 19 syllables - that it would not fit on the documentation. But she says her grievance has now been redressed. Hawaii government computer systems are to be upgraded by the end of the year, allowing her to have her full name on her driving licence and ID card. At present her documentation only has a truncated version of her name, because the computer system in Hawaii cannot handle more than 35 characters. Ms Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele - whose maiden name was the more compact Worth - said that she began the campaign to get her full name on government documentation because she was shocked at the way police treated her after stopping her car. "The policeman looked at my licence and saw I had no first name. I told him it is not my fault that my licence and state ID are not correct and I am trying to get it corrected," she said. "He then told me 'Well, you can always change your name back to your maiden name.' This hurt my heart." "Over the last 22 years I have seen... the culture of Hawaii being trampled upon and this policeman treated my name as if it was mumbo-jumbo." Ms Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele said that the officer's attitude upset her because he was being "disrespectful of the Hawaiian people". After she brought her concerns to the governor's department, they announced that a license and an ID card which allows her full name on it will be produced by the end of 2013. A spokeswoman for Hawaii's transport department, Caroline Sluyter, said computer systems across the state were being upgraded to accommodate longer names. "We have been made aware of that issue, and I know right now they are working to extend that limit to - I believe - 40 characters so that issue can be resolved," she said. Ms Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele - who got her name after marrying in 1992 - said that her name had many layers of meanings including "one who would stand up and get people to focus in one direction when there was chaos and confusion, and help them emerge from disorder". Your comments My maiden name is double-barrelled - Gonsalves-Barriero - from my father's Portuguese heritage. During my school years, on the first day of a new class, I would know when the teacher reached my name on the roll call, because there would always be a long pause and a wide-eyed look before they proceeded to stumble through my name. I've always loved my name and been proud of it because of my heritage and great-grandfather's story of migration from Portugal to the Caribbean. When I got married I refused to change to my husband's surname; at most I decided to ADD it. When I renewed my driver's license in my native Antigua, the system did not allow for all three of my surnames: Gonsalves-Barriero Nikolic. Donna-Lee Gonsalves-Barriero Nikolic, Bitola, Macedonia I was "Neate" before I married my Malagasy (Madagascan) husband. Although having a long surname does have some drawbacks, there are also some advantages. Firstly, it is memorable. Secondly, cold callers often hang up when they get to my name - "Good afternoon Mrs ..........." they seem afraid to attempt it! Mrs Penny Randriamahavorisoa, Leicestershire, UK I routinely have my name anglicised and shortened. Many computer systems can only get as far as Mac Giolla Bhri. Others hyphenate the surname as Mac-Giolla-Bhrighde and then it can't be retrieved. At one stage I had five separate national insurance numbers. The biggest problem however is with post. I routinely get letters and packages addressed to other Irish speakers. Even when they live miles away, the address is correct and the name doesn't even look similar. Lughaidh Mac Giolla Bhrighde, Maghera, Ireland I have a similar problem. In India (Tamil culture), the first name is your father's name, the second name is your name and the last name is the surname or family name. In India I used to write my name as V Balaji, but after moving to Canada I shortened my father's name to Ven. On my driving license my name is written as Venkateshwar, the 'a' is missing because the computer system only takes 12 characters. It is some times very frustrating. Venkateshwara Balaji Venkatachalam, Calgary, Canada My full name is a bit long too. I have faced many problems. Sometimes people ask me my name several times just to hear me say it. Sometimes they show unusual surprise and react negatively and ask me to shorten my name. And it is hard to complete forms, as different official forms do not have enough room for my full name. Abu Sayed Malik Md. Monsur-ul-Hakim, Dhaka, Bangladesh I have a name which is very long because my mother is Portuguese. I have seven surnames in total and it always causes havoc when it comes to filling in forms, people never quite believe it is my name. My passport is British and because there isn't enough space to have my full surname on the document, me, my brother and my sister were forced to sign a sheet of paper that says we are happy for our names to be abbreviated on the passport. So my surname according to my passport is Pontes D C G J Y S, which is really disappointing because now when I travel I have to take my birth certificate with me. If I marry - under the Portuguese law - I have to keep my maiden surname and add my husband's on to it, and my children will have to take both their mother's and father's names.

A US woman has won a battle to have her full name put on her driving licence.

He was speaking as the capital marked the first anniversary of the clashes between protesters and police which toppled ex-President Viktor Yanukovych. A top Kremlin aide, Vladislav Surkov, had organised snipers, he alleged. The Russian government hit back at the claim, calling it "nonsense". More than 100 people died in the violence on Kiev's central Independence Square, known as the Maidan, a year ago. The anti-Yanukovych revolt was called the "EuroMaidan revolution", as huge crowds demanded a pact with the EU. In a speech at the Maidan on Friday, President Poroshenko condemned the insurgency by pro-Russian rebels in the east. Earlier, he told Maidan victims' relatives that, according to Ukrainian state security, "the Russian presidential aide Vladislav Surkov led the organisation of groups of foreign snipers on the Maidan". The claim was first made by the head of Ukraine's security services on Thursday. Mr Poroshenko was speaking just two days after his army retreated from the key town of Debaltseve, now in rebel hands. Ukraine, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence Russia is helping the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers. Moscow denies this, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are "volunteers". Ukrainian military spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, said more than 20 Russian tanks, 10 missile systems and busloads of troops had entered Ukraine in the past 24 hours, heading for Novoazovsk, a rebel-held town on the coast. The report has not been confirmed. The Maidan ceremony included poetry, a choir singing the national anthem, and a performance of Mozart's Requiem by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine. Mr Yanukovych - a political ally of Moscow - fled into exile in late February 2014, but soon resurfaced in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. He said he had been ousted in an "illegal coup" and lambasted the "fascists" who had taken power in Kiev. For weeks in the winter of 2013-2014 the Maidan was a vast campsite populated by EuroMaidan protesters, who kept police at bay with barricades and burning tyres. Most of those killed in the clashes were shot by snipers, and some uniformed police were filmed firing at protesters. At the scene: Anastasiya Gribanova, BBC News, Kiev Maidan was a breathtaking scene on Friday night - lit by thousands of candles and covered flowers to honour those who died here last winter. The crowd chanted "Glory to Ukraine!" and "Glory to heroes!" before falling silent as the orchestra played Mozart's Requiem and projectors rose into the sky from the spots where each protester was killed. Emotions were high. Many people we talked to couldn't contain their tears as they laid carnations and tulips on makeshift shrines. "We will never forget these people," said Olena from Kiev. "We will come here every year." "This is not a celebration. This is a day to remember," said Igor, who was wounded at Maidan last year. The untold story of the Maidan massacre Mr Poroshenko said on Friday that phone records obtained by Ukrainian state security showed a direct Russian state role in the shootings. Those records, he said, revealed "conversations between Yanukovych and Russian state security officials. "They prepared for the shooting together, in advance." Russia's foreign ministry spokesman, Alexander Lukashevich, said Mr Poroshenko had been duped by his security aides. "Ukraine's investigative and security services have things to be getting on with. But at the moment, instead of carrying out investigations, they're exploiting people's deaths and putting out nonsense worthy only of a mental hospital," he said. Shelling continues to mar a ceasefire for eastern Ukraine signed in Minsk on 12 February. An intense rebel bombardment forced some 2,500 government troops to retreat from Debaltseve on Wednesday, and dozens of others surrendered. The village of Chernukhino, near Debaltseve, is now in rebel hands too, according to the Kiev-appointed governor of Luhansk region, Gennadiy Moskal. US Vice President Joe Biden condemned the rebel offensive on Debaltseve in a phone call with Mr Poroshenko on Friday. The White House said he also discussed options for "effective monitoring" of the ceasefire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons. On Wednesday, President Poroshenko called for UN peacekeepers to be deployed to eastern Ukraine to enforce the ceasefire. At the scene: Paul Adams, BBC News, Debaltseve The streets of Debaltseve were mostly quiet and mostly deserted as we entered the city for the first time since intense fighting ended. Those civilians still holed up in the city, who have been without water, gas and electricity since early January, were slowly emerging from shelters to see what was left of their homes. But there were more rebels than civilians, with convoys of victorious separatists returning from the recent clashes. Evidence of the fighting was littered across the roads and we spotted the bodies of two Ukrainian solders that had been lying in the cold for three days. Poroshenko bruised by army retreat The 300ft-high (91m) pile of rotting debris had shifted after floods and a fire then collapsed on Friday. At least 40 homes on the edge of the dump were destroyed. The army said an unknown number of people were missing. There had been concerns over the safety of the site in Colombo, with residents demanding it be cleared. The AFP news agency said about 800 tonnes of waste were added to the Meethotamulla dump every day, and that the government had planned to remove it. "We heard a massive sound. It was like thunder," one resident, Kularathna, told the Reuters news agency. "Tiles in our house got cracked. Black water started coming in." The collapse occurred as many people were marking Aluth Avurudda, or the Sinhalese New Year, a major public holiday across Sri Lanka. Emergency officials told the BBC that up to 20 people may remain buried in their houses, with the Sri Lankan army now co-ordinating the recovery. One disaster emergency official told AFP the death toll would have been higher had many people not left their homes after the fire at the dump, hours before the collapse. One government minister, Harsha De Silva, said in a statement that no more rubbish would be dumped at the site, and would instead be placed in two other sites. It is not clear when the decision is made. Footage filmed by the BBC on Saturday showed people continuing to dump rubbish at Meethotamulla. Mr De Silva said residents had been advised to leave because of the risk of landslides. "It's unfortunate that even though payments had been made for those families under risk of landslides to move out some had not done so. They had even been advised to leave as recently as two days ago," he said. Last month, a landslide at a rubbish dump in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, killed at least 113 people. There were reports English Defence League supporters clashed with anti-Jubilee protesters during the demonstration, which started at noon. Police said one man suffered a slight injury when fireworks were set off. No arrests were made, but police patrols remained in the area throughout the day and night. A police spokesman said: "The protest, although vocal, was largely peaceful. "There was one incident reported to police at around 3.15pm of two fireworks going off among a crowd of people. One man sustained a slight injury and police are investigating." Labour peer Lord Falconer's bid to introduce legislation ran out of time before the general election. Now Labour MP Rob Marris will attempt to steer a bill through the Commons. The Wolverhampton South West MP won a private member's bill ballot last week guaranteeing time in the chamber for backbench legislation. But the bill's chances of becoming law received an instant setback when Downing Street said it would not be given government time in the Commons. David Cameron's view on assisted dying had not changed, said the PM's official spokesman and he was "not convinced that further steps need to be taken". Mr Cameron was "concerned that legislation may push people into things they do not actually want for themselves", added the spokesman, but it was an "issue of individual conscience, for Parliament to decide". Patients with no more than six months to live and who had demonstrated a "clear and settled intention" to end their lives would be prescribed a lethal dose of drugs on the authority of two doctors, under the proposed new law. The bill is expected to be debated on 11 September. Mr Marris said it could give MPs the first vote on the issue since 1997. He said: "The public are clearly in favour of a change in the law and it is right that Parliament now debates this issue. "Alongside the vast majority of the public, I am in favour of terminally-ill people who are of sound mind having choice at the end of life. "It is a choice that I would want for myself and I do not think we should be denying this to people who are facing an imminent death. "The House of Commons has not voted on this issue for almost 20 years. "While the prospects of getting the law changed are difficult without official government support, this is an opportunity to show we in Parliament are not ducking our responsibility to the public and I look forward to continuing the case for a compassionate assisted dying law." Campaigners in favour of a change in the law claim MPs can not ignore the fact that UK citizens are travelling to Swiss euthanasia clinic Dignitas or taking their own lives. Sarah Wootton, chief executive of campaign group Dignity in Dying, said: "It is great news that the House of Commons will now begin a debate on assisted dying which the public demand but have been denied because of parliamentary procedure. "I welcome Rob Marris's commitment to show compassion to dying people and give choice at the end of life." Lord Falconer, now the shadow justice secretary, said he was grateful to Mr Marris for "continuing the campaign" to change the law. But Agnes Fletcher director of campaign group Living and Dying Well, said the proposed law was open to abuse, with elderly or gravely ill people feeling pressured into ending their lives because they felt there were being a "burden" to their families. Doctors also found it difficult to predict with accuracy how long someone had to live, she told BBC Two's The Daily Politics. A private member's bill is one of the few chances ordinary backbench MPs get to create legislation. The vast majority of new laws originate from the government of the day. Few private member's bills become law due to the lack of time in the Parliamentary calendar and the annual ballot is always fiercely contested. Crowds marched in Caracas and other cities to express their anger at the country's economic crisis and called on the president to stand down. Mr Maduro led a protest in the capital against the renewal of US sanctions on top Venezuelan officials. The opposition has made clear it intends to use street power to force Mr Maduro from office. Saturday's protests marked the launch of Venezuela's opposition coalition, the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD). One opposition protester Enrique Alvarado in Caracas told Reuters news agency: "The people have come to the street and will not return to their houses until Nicolas Maduro resigns." Another marcher, Jose Zambrano, said: "I came because what we want is change, because we cannot continue standing in line to buy medicine, food, for everything, for car parts, for everything." Last week the coalition announced it would use all options available to try to remove President Maduro, including a recall referendum and a constitutional amendment reducing the presidential term from six to four years. What changes will the new Congress bring? Cuban concerns over Venezuela Venezuela opposition push for Maduro's exit The opposition won a landslide victory in last December's elections but it has seen its authority hamstrung by the Supreme Court which it says supports the government. As a result, the MUD has placed special emphasis on protests as a way to put force Mr Maduro's resignation. Correspondents say this is a potentially explosive path after anti-government demonstrations in 2014 left 43 people dead. This led to the arrest of a number of opposition leaders on charges of murder and inciting violence. President Maduro led his own rally in Caracas, ostensibly against US sanctions and what the government regards as interference in Venezuela's affairs. "We have to reject President Obama's decree. It is stupid," said protester Raiza Sucre who had arrived in one of the official buses that had brought government supporters to the march. The sanctions were first put in place a year ago after a government crack-down on opposition leaders. The protests come against the backdrop of a deep economic crisis made worse by the crash in the price of oil which long funded the Chavez and Maduro government's spending on social welfare. Venezuela holds the world's largest crude reserves but its economy contracted 5.7% last year. The new recruits, like existing officers, will carry pistols with live ammunition, and have pepper spray, batons, handcuffs and protective kit. The number of migrants reaching Hungary's southern border with Serbia has stagnated, at fewer than 200 daily. The new guards will start work in May. The recruits will have six months' training, they must be over 18, physically fit and must pass a psychological test, police officer Zsolt Pozsgai told Hungarian state television. Monthly pay will be 150,000 forint (£406; $542) for the first two months, then 220,300 forint. Hungary is in the grip of a massive publicity campaign, launched by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's right-wing government ahead of a 2 October referendum. Voters will be asked to oppose a European Commission proposal to relocate 160,000 refugees more fairly across the 28-nation EU. Under the EU scheme, Hungary has been asked to take 1,300 refugees. The relocation programme is for refugees from Syria, Iraq and Eritrea. Currently 30 migrants are allowed into Hungary each day through official "transit zones". The number of those camped on the Serbian side of the border, next to the fence, waiting for access to the transit zones, fell to 346 at Horgos last week, and 103 at Kelebia. That is below half the total of a month ago. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. With 91% of the vote counted, Vermont Senator Mr Sanders is polling 64%, while former Secretary of State Mrs Clinton has 36%. In the Republican race, Marco Rubio easily won Puerto Rico's primary, beating billionaire Donald Trump. Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump remain overall leaders in the nomination campaigns. Sunday night saw Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders clash on a number of issues in a CNN-hosted debate in Michigan. They traded accusations on economy and trade, with Mrs Clinton saying her rival voted against a bailout of the US car industry in 2009. App users: Tap here for full results Clinton v Sanders: The progressive battle Trump and Cruz seek "one-on-one" battle How radical are Trump and Cruz? "I went with them. You did not. If everybody had voted the way he [Sanders] did, I believe the auto industry would have collapsed, taking four million jobs with it," Mrs Clinton said. Mr Sanders countered by saying: "I will be damned if it was the working people of this country who have to bail out the crooks on Wall Street." Bernie Sanders has rarely been so aggressive, losing his calm a few times on the debate stage. He attacked Hillary Clinton as a long-term supporter of free trade and talked about her friends in Wall Street who destroyed the economy. She criticised him for not supporting the bailout that helped save the automobile industry, describing him as a one-issue candidate. The debate took place in Flint, Michigan, which is facing a public health emergency because of lead-tainted water. The state will hold its primary on Tuesday. Mr Sanders described the measures taken at the time as "the Wall Street bailout where some of your [Mrs Clinton's] friends destroyed this economy". In Saturday's round of voting, Mr Sanders took two states - Kansas and Nebraska - but Mrs Clinton maintained her Democratic front-runner status after a big victory in Louisiana. While the win in Puerto Rico - a US territory - will boost Florida Senator Mr Rubio's campaign, it sends just 23 delegates to the Republican convention which nominates a presidential candidate. Republican hopefuls need the votes of 1,237 delegates to get the nod for the presidential race proper. Mr Rubio still trails well behind Mr Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Speaking after wins in the Republican Kentucky caucuses and Louisiana primary vote on Saturday, Mr Trump told a news conference: "I would love to take on Ted Cruz one on one." "Marco Rubio had a very very bad night and personally I call for him to drop out of the race. I think it's time now that he dropped out of the race. I really think so." Meanwhile, Texas Senator Mr Cruz - who won Republican caucuses in Kansas and Maine - said he believed that "as long as the field remains divided, it gives Donald an advantage". The full primary calendar The 19-year-old has signed a "long-term contract" to move from his homeland for an undisclosed fee. Campbell scored for Costa Rica against Bolivia in this summer's Copa America and has six international caps. "It is a dream come true to play for such a big club in England and I want to do well for myself and Costa Rica," Campbell said. "I am ready, I am very happy to be here and I want to focus on doing well for Arsenal. "I'm good in one-on-ones and I am a player who knows how to score goals. I play forward and I can play on both sides. "Arsene Wenger is a manager of immense quality. I took this decision because I know I have a possibility to become a better player here." Arsenal announced they were close to signing Campbell on 12 August. Speaking at that time, Wenger said: "[He] has shown that he is a player with great ability, and has performed well on the international stage at a young age. "We look forward to the formalities of the transfer being completed and working with Joel when he joins us at Arsenal." Google Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Microsoft Hotmail and Mail.ru are among the services said to have been affected. The security firm that flagged the issue said that it believed many of the usernames and passwords involved had not been leaked before. However, it is not clear whether users' accounts have actually been breached. Hold Security said it had obtained a total of 272 million unique pairs of email addresses and unencrypted passwords from the hacker, 42.5 million of which the company had not seen in earlier leaks. It said the cybercriminal had initially asked for 50 roubles (75 cents; 52 pence) in exchange for the list, but eventually gave a copy away without charge after Hold's staff posted favourable comments about him in a forum. Even if many of the credentials are out of date or inaccurate they could still be abused, the company warned. "There are hacker sites that advertise 'brute forcing' popular services and store fronts by taking a large amount of credentials and running them one-by-one against the site," Alex Holden, the firm's chief information security officer, told the BBC. "What makes this discovery more significant is the hacker's willingness to share these credentials virtually for free, increasing the number of... malicious people who might have this information." According to Hold's analysis: However, Mail.ru - Russia's most used webmail service - said its initial investigation suggested the problem might not be as bad as the figures indicated. "A large number of usernames are repeated with different passwords," a spokeswoman said. "We are now checking whether any combinations of username/password match [active accounts] - and as soon as we have enough information we will warn the users who might have been affected. "The first check of a sample of data showed that it does not consist of any real live combinations of usernames and passwords." Microsoft said it had measures in place to identify compromised accounts. "[We would require] additional information to verify the account owner and help them regain sole access," said a spokesman. Google said: "We are still investigating, so we don't have a comment at this time." And Yahoo added: "We've seen the reports and our team is reaching out to Hold Security to obtain the list of accounts now. We'll update going forward." Hold Security has a track record for bringing significant cyber-breaches to light, including past hacks of Adobe and the US retailer Target. Independent security consultant Alan Woodward said people should remain alert to the dangers of phishing emails. Even if the vast majority of the passwords did not work, he explained, cybercriminals could still use the list of email addresses to bulk-send scams. "Assuming the email addresses are valid, they still give criminals the ability to mount certain types of attack," he said. However he added there was "no need to panic" or for people to change their passwords at this point. Images of a future king and queen demonstrating their sporting, competitive edge have proved irresistible to many British newspapers and broadcasters. But such coverage doesn't mean that royal fever has descended on India. Security concerns in the modern world mean that presidents and princes travel in a bubble, and only meet those who are invited and checked out in advance. Those who have cleared those hurdles appear to have enjoyed the experience. This after all is the son of Princess Diana and his wife. Hers is a name that still resonates. And William and Kate are personable people capable of putting those they encounter at their ease. They'll continue to do this as they travel across India. Some they meet will fall, briefly, under the spell of a royal meeting; but they won't cast a spell over the whole country. There is no doubt that bombardments by French and United Nations forces played an essential role in destroying the heavy weapons that had enabled Mr Gbagbo to resist for so long. But while some internet rumours have claimed the French played a bigger role, Paris has been categoric in formally stating that at no time did its forces enter either Mr Gbagbo's residence or the surrounding gardens. Such details are more than the small currency of minute-by-minute news surrounding this dramatic event. Mr Ouattara needed to show that, ultimately, his own Republican Forces were capable of making that final entry and taking prisoner the rival who has refused to accept the legitimacy of his victory in the second round of the presidential election on 28 November 2010. For ever since his entry into domestic politics in the 1990s, the man who is now Ivory Coast's new president has had to fight off accusations of being too Westernised. Married to a French woman and at ease in international capitals after two stints at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) - where he rose to become a deputy managing director - Mr Ouattara was painted by Mr Gbagbo as a protege of Paris and Washington. This theme was also a none-too-subtle means of reviving the old challenges to Ivorian identity that opponents used to deploy to block his path until questions of citizenship and political rights for northerners were finally resolved in a painstaking electoral registration process. In winning the polls in November, Mr Ouattara shook off the accusation that he could not win acceptance from ordinary Ivorians. But over the past 10 days of military confrontation he has struggled to show that he could finally bring Mr Gbagbo's resistance to an end. Monday's arrest by Republican Forces may start to change that perception. For France, the handling of this closing chapter has also been sensitive. Mr Gbagbo has presented himself as the man who has stood up to interference by Paris, the African who plays by African rules and not those of the Western outsider. So Paris could not afford to be perceived as a former colonial power interfering unilaterally to remove this unco-operative figure. It was essential for the French that they were acting at the request of the UN. The relationship between France and Ivory Coast has deep roots that were actually reinforced after independence: the "father of the Ivorian nation", President Felix Houphouet-Boigny, transformed his country into an agricultural export power and the financial and services hub of West Africa through a close economic partnership with French interests. Ivory Coast is the largest economy of the eight-country western franc zone, whose CFA franc currency was pegged to the French franc, and latterly, the euro. At one stage more than 20,000 French people were settled in the country, many on a long-term basis. French commodity houses played a major role in the cocoa and coffee trade; French banks used Abidjan as a key regional hub. French advisers were present in parts of government and key economic sectors. After Mr Houphouet-Boigny's death in 1993, the partnership lost a degree of political momentum. But French involvement remained profound; the privatisation opened new doors to French investors in key sectors. Indeed, even after the tension of 2004 - when Mr Gbagbo's Young Patriot youth militants specifically targeted French residents through a campaign of looting and intimidation - Abidjan remained home for many thousands of French citizens. That is why Paris has had to provide protection for so many over recent weeks. The French military presence has also been significant. Originally established under the aegis of a bilateral defence partnership, it has been more contentious over the past decade of conflict and national partition. The French troops, operating as the Licorne force, provided the heavy muscle in support of the UN mission in Ivory Coast. And Mr Gbagbo repeatedly sought to mobilise his own political support by stirring up popular anger at what he portrayed as a neo-colonial presence. France has much at stake in the future of Ivory Coast, which remains a strategically important partner in West Africa. But because of the difficult history of the past decade, both Paris and the new Ouattara government will want to put the relationship on a new footing. This could well mean reducing the military presence as soon as security conditions permit. Mr Ouattara will draw on his international friendships, on both sides of the Atlantic, to mobilise aid for national recovery and reconstruction. But he will want to ensure that he is seen to be a sovereign leader who establishes a relationship of mutual respect with Paris, escaping old cliches about post-colonial dependency. That will suit the French too: they need to ensure that their continued relations with a country that is one of the most important economies in West Africa are seen in a positive light by both Ivorians and their neighbours. Paul Melly is a specialist in French-speaking Africa, based at the London-based Chatham House think-tank. Slogans and insults were scrawled on photographs of the politician and a street sign saying "Nemtsov Bridge" was defaced. An obscure nationalist group, which is sympathetic to pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine, said it was responsible. Mr Nemtsov was shot on 27 February while walking with his girlfriend on the bridge, near the Kremlin. Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the murder and vowed to find the killers. Pictures emerged on social media, apparently taken by the vandals themselves, showing people desecrating tributes marking the spot where Mr Nemtsov was attacked. A pro-Kremlin organisation called South-East Ukrainian Civil Movement (SERB) later claimed responsibility, saying its actions were a response to calls to rename Moscow's Bolshoy Moskvoretskiy bridge in Mr Nemtsov's honour, according to Russian news website Lenta.ru. Allies of Mr Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister and veteran liberal politician, condemned the damage. "Some cowardly scumbags have trashed Nemtsov's memorial," Ilya Yashin, co-founder of his political party, wrote on Twitter. Mr Nemtsov's supporters have said the killing was linked to his criticism of the Kremlin. He was killed days before a march he had been organising against the conflict in Ukraine. Mr Yashin told the BBC earlier this month that a report Mr Nemtsov had been compiling on Russia's role in the crisis would be released in April. Officials have not revealed a motive for the murder. Several men from the Caucasus region have been arrested for the murder, prompting suggestions of an Islamist link to the attack. One of those charged has said he was forced into a confession. Ukraine's military has been battling pro-Russian separatist rebels in the country's east since April 2014. The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence that Russia is helping the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers. Independent experts echo that accusation. Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are "volunteers". On 2 August, Johnson dismissed a joint bid from Birmingham for Flint and left-back Joe Bryan as "derisory". "Neither solo bid met our requirements or the figure we felt was acceptable," Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol. "We're in a strong position. We don't want to lose quality players but, if we do, it would be at the right price." Flint, 28, was a late substitute in Saturday's opening 3-1 league win over Barnsley and was left out Tuesday's EFL Cup victory over Plymouth Argyle following a conversation with Johnson. "He was unselected by me (against Argyle)," the 36-year-old added. "Aden knocked on the door. We had a good conversation. We've got a lot of respect for each other. "After that conversation, which I won't reveal because it's private between player and coach, I felt it was better for the team to leave him out. "The result and the team come first. It doesn't mean that Aden's going, or the door is closed on Aden at all." BBC Radio Bristol understands the previous joint bid for former Swindon man Flint and 23-year-old youth product Bryan totalled £4m. Bristol City travel to Harry Redknapp's Birmingham on Saturday for their second Championship fixture of 2017-18. Asked if he would still shake hands with the former Tottenham boss and share a glass of wine after the game amid the ongoing transfer matters, Johnson replied: "Of course. "I've spoken to Harry on a three or four occasions since venting my frustration with the current circumstances in the transfer market. "Harry is a top, top manager. He's also very good with young managers. I always love listening to his stories. Certainly, once the final whistle goes, I'd be happy - if invited - to join him for a glass of vino." Meanwhile, Johnson confirmed that Swedish striker Gustav Engvall is set for another loan spell away from Ashton Gate this term. The 21-year-old, who joined the Robins for an undisclosed fee in 2016, spent the latter part of last season on loan at Swedish side Djurgarden IF. "He is leaving the club on loan. He wants to play (games)," Johnson added. "He's got a good relationship with the club in Sweden. "He's still young, so it's better for him to be playing football than to maybe to nick the odd 10-15 minutes off the bench every now and then." The Swedish transfer window closes on Friday. Dr Carol Tozer says she is returning to the UK to be with her family. There were calls in Alderney on Wednesday for her to stand down over the case of Dr Rory Lyons, who was cleared of any wrongdoing. The States' chief executive thanked Dr Tozer for her hard work. Paul Whitfield said: "I wish to take this opportunity to thank Carol for all of her hard work, energy and drive which she has brought to HSSD {Health and Social Services Department], often during some difficult and public times." As chief officer of HSSD for 19 months, Dr Tozer held the reins during challenging times for the department, including an extraordinary review of maternity services, and the investigation into Dr Lyons following the deaths of four patients. Dr Lyons was later exonerated and allowed to practise again. An independent report into the investigation followed, which found there was not a "sufficient weight of evidence" when concerns about the deaths were raised with authorities. Last week Mr Whitfield and the deputy chief minister, Allister Langlois, held a meeting in Alderney to discuss the report with islanders, where there were several calls from members of the public for Dr Tozer to resign over the Dr Lyons case. Before coming to Guernsey to take up her role as chief officer of HSSD, Dr Tozer was executive director of services at the charity, Scope. She had previously held several high profile roles in community and social services in the UK. In 2011 she resigned from her post as director of children's services in Torbay, Devon. Sales volumes fell by just 0.2% last month, the Office for National Statistics said, while sales were up 6.2% from August last year The ONS said the underlying pattern for the retail sector was "solid growth". "Overall the figures do not suggest any major fall in post-referendum consumer confidence," it said. The sales increase for July was also revised higher from 1.4% to 1.9% - the best performance for the month in 14 years. ING economist James Knightley said the figures offered further evidence that the UK was weathering the short-term effects of the Brexit vote well. "Sterling's fall is likely to have boosted sales of high-end items by foreign tourists as watches and fashions become relatively cheaper for them when bought in the UK versus elsewhere," he added. However, Samuel Tombs at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the figures had to be treated with some scepticism as surveys from the British Retail Consortium, BDO and Visa all pointed to a much bigger fall in sales volumes. "The chances the official data are revised down therefore seem high," he said. Paul Hollingsworth at Capital Economics said some slowdown in the pace of spending growth was likely. "There are likely to be a number of headwinds, such as slower growth in employment and real earnings and lower confidence," he said. The ONS said that the biggest contribution to the fall in sales last month came from non-food stores. Sales of more expensive household goods such as electrical appliances and hardware fell year-on-year for the first time since May 2014. The John Lewis Partnership, which owns the UK's biggest department store chain, said on Thursday that half-year profits fell almost 15% to £81.9m. Clothing retailer Next also warned on Thursday that recent trading had been "challenging and volatile" as it reported a 0.7% fall in sales at its shops for the six months to July. Chief executive Lord Wolfson said: "It has been a challenging year so far, with economic and cyclical factors working against us, and it looks set to remain that way until mid-October at the earliest." The September heatwave has done little to help clothing retailers, he added: "Consumers are only buying clothes when they need to. In this weather, no one's buying winter clothes." The incident occurred when the victim was walking along the Rostrevor Road in Warrenpoint at 10:30 BST on Wednesday. Police have not given any other details about the circumstances of the crash and officers are appealing for any witnesses to get in touch by calling 101. Rostrevor Road was closed while police investigated and diversions were in place but it has since re-opened. Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch with police on the number 101. The seven-time winners couldn't muster enough votes for their youngest ever entrant, 17-year-old Molly Sterling. Iceland, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Malta, Portugal and San Marino also failed to make the cut. Sweden, the bookmakers' favourite, sailed through to Saturday's grand final in Vienna. Its act, Mans Zelmerlow, joins automatic qualifiers Austria, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and special guests Australia. The full list of 10 acts to qualify from Thursday's semi-final is as follows: Despite Ireland's historical success at Eurovision, it has struggled in the 21st Century. It has taken last place twice, in 2007 and 2013, and failed to progress beyond the semi-finals five times since they were introduced in 2004. However, Ireland has fared better than the Czech Republic, which has never made it to the grand final. The UK will be represented at Saturday's show by duo Electro Velvet, whose song, Still In Love With You, has been described as an "electro swing" track. The final will be broadcast on BBC One from 20:00 BST, and there will be live updates and discussion on the BBC News website's dedicated Eurovision live page. The hosts open the tournament against Afghanistan, giving them an immediate chance to avenge their defeat by the qualifiers in the Asia Cup, a tournament in which they lost all four games. But Bangladesh's Australia-born coach Shane Jurgensen tells BBC Sport why he believes his side could shock the bigger nations. Some of our experienced players were missing through injury and we had guys that were coming back in to the team that hadn't played cricket for a while. We lost matches from strong positions and haven't been able to nail the opposition; we lost the momentum in games. Because of this we have created pressure on ourselves and allowed teams to get back in to the game. 16 March v Afghanistan, Mirpur, 09:30 GMT 18 March v Nepal, Chittagong, 13:30 GMT 20 March v Hong Kong, Chittagong, 13:30 GMT Full schedule We want to have a good strong performance to set the record straight. Hopefully we can gain a bit of momentum from our two warm-up wins. We can be a streaky team but when we get confidence and suddenly start winning matches, anything can happen. We've seen that when we beat New Zealand 3-0 in the one-day series. Afghanistan is the crunch game but they're all going to be tough because Hong Kong beat Zimbabwe and Nepal were competitive against Ireland. I have watched Hong Kong and Nepal on video. They have some really good spinners who performed well against Ireland. It will be very important to adapt during the games and make up plans to counter their tactics as quickly as we can. That's the major difference with playing these teams compared to a team like Australia, who we have played against and seen plenty of on TV. It is vital that we execute the three disciplines extremely well. In the Asia Cup we didn't get that complete team performance. Our fielding has been fantastic of late but for some reason we have started dropping a few catches, and we started losing wickets at critical times. We also gave away too many boundaries when we were bowling and failed to create pressure. In each game we get one thing right but not all three. Thankfully, I have a fully-fit squad and it was great to see Tamim Iqbal coming back from injury and making a quick 40 against the UAE. He got injured in training when he pulled a ball and freakishly hurt his neck. Mashrafe Motatza has a side strain but should be fit and ready for Afghanistan. Group A: Bangladesh, Nepal, Hong Kong, Afghanistan Group B: Ireland, Zimbabwe, Netherlands, UAE Super 10 stage Group 1: Sri Lanka, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Group B winners Group 2: West Indies, India, Pakistan, Australia, Group A winners The top two teams from Groups 1 & 2 qualify for the semi-finals Read the team-by-team guide Captain Mushfiqur Rahim is also fit after a shoulder injury, which is great news because he is a brilliant wicketkeeper and an excellent all-rounder. Rubel Hussian had a serious shoulder injury last year and our physio says it could take up to two years for him to get back to his best. But it was so exciting to see him bowl against New Zealand. He was the quickest bowler of the series and has an unique action. Although Rubel might go for runs, he can also take crucial wickets. He has worked hard on his yorker and is executing it much better now. The fact we only played nine ODIs last year may have contributed to our injury problems. In contrast, Sri Lanka played 30 ODIs and India 33, while New Zealand played 19. If we could play more international cricket at that intensity, it will improve our injury problems because our players will be used to playing more regularly. Sohag has had some ups and downs but the next 12 months are crucial for him to improve his consistency. He came in to international cricket with a bang in October 2012 and had a tough time in the middle of last year. But he came back really strongly against New Zealand in the latter part of 2013 and took a hat-trick and scored a century to become the first player to do so in a Test. He's a good batsman, bowler and fielder. He can hit the ball very powerfully and has a unique bowling style, which has helped him. He's quite an open-chested off-spinner and has some secret variations, but his consistency must improve. I have been surprised by how much love there is for cricket. Every time we arrive back at our team hotel from training there are always hundreds of fans waiting to get a glimpse of the team. What I also really enjoy about Bangladesh is that there are so many people having a go, and that's something I like. You'll see an older gentleman serving cups of tea, biscuits and bread on the side of the road, and there are so many people like that just trying to earn a living by working hard. The other bits I enjoy are when we have left Dhaka and visited other parts of Bangladesh. It's nice to get away from the city and see the countryside. Bangladesh is certainly different from where I come from. When I go home to my house in Australia, which is in a very quiet cul-de-sac, and have coffee with my wife and kids, it can feel deathly quiet and strange because I have got used to hearing the tooting horns all day and night in Dhaka. Born: 28 April 1976, Queensland Bowling: Right-arm fast Western Australia (1998-99), Sussex Cricket Board (1999), Tasmania (2000-03), Queensland 2004 & 2007) Playing Test cricket and having to execute good basics under pressure over five days has helped improve our ODI and T20 performances. When we have had success the expectations have gone through the roof, which is fine and fair enough. But having big gaps between series has not been helpful. We've also been hindered by the weather during the monsoon season. But it's important we continue to play more Test cricket to put the guys under more pressure, and it would be great for us to play 20-25 ODIs over the year. I think that would fast-track our level and help the academy bring through more players. We are developing new programmes to ensure the guys are eating and preparing well to play at the highest level. It wasn't really the best timing for us when they [the International Cricket Council] announced that on the eve of our Test against Sri Lanka. It affected my guys a lot to know that potentially they could have been playing their last official Test. My question is, what's the real reason behind it? What's it actually for? I have yet to grasp the whole reason behind it. I just hope that it works out best for everyone. It is crucial because there are so many people who play this game and love this game and I'd hate to think that interest in such a great game would be affected. It took a long time for other powerful cricketing nations to make their mark from when they started, so we need the same chances to keep improving. The tough losses can only make us better and can make the guys mentally stronger. Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and India will have an advantage because the tournament is being held in Asia. Australia might be a surprise package but you always have to be wary of West Indies. They have powerful hitters who can take the game away from you. 2012: West Indies 2010: England 2009: Pakistan 2007: India England have a great chance and Jos Buttler is an exciting and dangerous player. They can also draw on the experience of winning the tournament in 2010. I remember England had a poor start to that tournament but managed to turn it around and get through. All of a sudden they got momentum and went on to win. We haven't had the best of luck this year but we are aiming to get back to winning ways in an important tournament. We need have an aggressive mindset, and if we can qualify from our group then anything is possible. A solid partnership or a decent innings can win you the game. That's the beauty and also the dangerous part of Twenty20. The assault took place outside the Explore Library in Museum Street at about 14:15 BST. North Yorkshire Police said they did not know the condition of the victim, who is believed to be in his 20s. However, a force spokesman said a man had been arrested on suspicion of assault. Administrators Deloitte are now looking for a buyer for PaperlinX UK, a subsidiary of an Australian firm which is not affected. About 200 jobs will be lost in Northampton where the group has a head office in Moulton Park and manufacturing plants at Brackmills. The firm has struggled due to an increase in digital communications. As a result, the paper business had been hit by falling demand, joint administrator Matt Smith said. The administration only affects PaperlinX UK's paper businesses and 14 plants would close. UK packaging operations would continue to trade normally, Deloitte said. Trade would continue from five sites, including the Mansion Close head office where staff would be reduced by 188. Other sites remaining open will be at Belfast, Coventry, Manchester and production plants in Rhosili Road, Northampton where staff numbers will reduce from 30 to 20. Businesses would continue a limited trade to "secure the best value available from current stock holdings and other assets". Specialists had been called in to support employees facing redundancy, Mr Smith said. The authority's ruling administration initially said the move was necessary to protect frontline services. However, council leader Stewart Cree said the amount it could raise would be "all but wiped out by Scottish government penalties". All of Scotland's 32 councils are in the process of agreeing their budgets for 2016/17. Moray Council, which has an independent/Conservative administration, needs to cut spending by £11.9m in the next financial year. Councillors proposed in the middle of last month that council tax bills could rise by as much as 18% which would have seen an increase for Band D properties of £204 a year. But that move would have resulted in the government withholding £1.1m which would have been allocated to the Moray to offset the freeze, which has been in place across Scotland since 2007. Council leader Mr Cree said: "We simply cannot proceed with the proposal as the extra penalties it would now attract would have a devastating effect on the services people in Moray tell us they want protected. "So to make ends meet this year the administration have decided to defer certain works and spending, and to draw the remaining shortfall from reserves. "We have pledged not to cut services and make any redundancies, and we'll stick to that." He added: "But this is for one year only - it is not sustainable. During that year we would expect the Scottish government to finally make good on its nine-year-old promise to reform local government funding." She only started singing in the mid-60s "for smoking money," she once told US radio station NPR. But her richly detailed, confessional lyrics changed folk music. Before Mitchell, singer-songwriters concentrated on love and politics. After her, they sang about themselves - their fears, their pain, and how the loss of a lover can leave you feeling: "The bed's too big, the frying pan's too wide." Her reputation as a fragile, confessional lyricist does her a disservice. Mitchell's writing may be unflinchingly personal, but it is also rich with imagery and engaged with the world beyond her "yellow curtains". "My work has always contained the question of how far the pop song could go. What themes it could hold without collapsing," she once said. Her most famous compositions are the poem-songs she released during her early, Laurel Canyon years, but she was incorporating jazz and world music in her work long before it became fashionable. "My music is not designed to grab instantly," she once said. "It's designed to wear for a lifetime, to hold up like a fine cloth." It would be impossible to select a definitive list of her best songs, but here is a quick guide to seven of the most popular ones. Covered more than 200 times by the likes of Tori Amos, Herbie Hancock, Linda Ronstadt and Aimee Mann, River is one of Mitchell's most enduring songs. Featured on 1971's Blue album, its spare, piano-driven arrangement paints a vivid picture of loss and self-recrimination, with Mitchell facing Christmas with no-one to kiss under the mistletoe. Key lyric: "I wish I had a river I could skate away on / I wish I had a river so long / I would teach my feet to fly." Made famous by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, whose hard-rocking version is a stark contrast to Mitchell's stripped-down, intimate performance where her multi-tracked voice is set against a simple Wurlitzer electric piano. A tribute to the 1969 festival of peace, love and music, the song is quiet and thoughtful when the event was anything but. Mitchell famously did not attend Woodstock, basing her lyrics on the (undoubtedly hazy) recollections of her then-boyfriend, Graham Nash. Key lyric: "We are stardust / We are golden/ And we've got to get ourselves / Back to the garden." A devastatingly gorgeous ballad, A Case Of You captures the nuances and complications of an affair in its dissolution. "You are in my blood like holy wine," sings Mitchell, seemingly drunk on love, before delivering the killer blow: "I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet." But the song also captures her ambiguity over ending the relationship: "Love is touching souls / Surely you touched mine / 'Cause part of you pours out of me / In these lines from time to time." Arguably Mitchell's best composition, A Case Of You is tucked away at the end of Blue, and exemplifies the album's searingly intense lyrics. "The Blue album, there's hardly a dishonest note in the vocals," she told Cameron Crowe in a 1979 interview for Rolling Stone. "At that period in my life, I had no personal defences. I felt like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes. "I felt like I had absolutely no secrets from the world and I couldn't pretend in my life to be strong. Or to be happy. But the advantage of it in the music was that there were no defences there either." Key lyric: "I could drink a case of you / And still be on my feet." A reflection on the demands of fame, Free Man In Paris is more exuberant and funny than most musicians' stories of "screaming in a hotel room". Mitchell adopts the voice of her record-executive friend David Geffen as he enjoys a worry-free weekend in France, neatly capturing the tension between having power and wanting freedom. Key lyric: 'I was a free man in Paris / I felt unfettered and alive / There was nobody calling me up for favours / And no one's future to decide / You know I'd go back there tomorrow / But for the work I've taken on / Stoking the star-maker machinery / Behind the popular song." An upbeat sing-along that hides a message about imminent ecological disaster, Big Yellow Taxi is Mitchell's biggest radio hit - and her only top 40 single in the UK, reaching number 11 in 1970. She wrote it after a trip to Hawaii, where she arrived at her hotel in the dead of night. "When I woke up the next morning, I threw back the curtains and saw these beautiful green mountains in the distance. Then, I looked down and there was a parking lot as far as the eye could see, and it broke my heart... this blight on paradise. That's when I sat down and wrote the song." Key lyric: "They paved paradise / And put up a parking lot." Mitchell's biggest hit in the States, Help Me is one of her most straightforward compositions - a shimmering, swooning love song that largely adheres to pop's verse-chorus structures. It finds the singer helplessly falling for a man she knows is bad news: "A rambler and a gambler and a sweet-talking-ladies man." It's a favourite of funk musician Prince, who references it in The Ballad of Dorothy Parker, from his 1987 album Sign O The Times. Key lyric: "Help me / I think I'm falling in love again / When I get that crazy feeling, I know / I'm in trouble again." Written in 1967 and originally recorded by Judy Collins, Both Sides Now stemmed from the failure of Mitchell's first marriage and her decision to give up her daughter for adoption. It uses clouds as a metaphor for the loss of innocence - how a child pictures "ice cream castles in the air", but adults only see a portent of bad weather. Written when she was 21, the world-weary lyrics sat uncomfortably on Mitchell's young shoulders - but her 2000 re-recording is darker and wiser. "It took a mature woman to bring it to life," Mitchell once said. Key lyric: "I've looked at love from both sides now / From give and take and still somehow /It's love's illusions I recall." The announcement follows a report by the National Audit Office last week saying the government could have achieved better value for money for taxpayers through the sell-off. Mr Cable will be questioned for a second time on 29 April by the House of Commons Business Committee. Business minister Michael Fallon will appear alongside him. Royal Mail shares are more than 70% higher than their 2013 sale price. Labour has called the privatisation a "first-class disaster", but Liberal Democrat Mr Cable has insisted the government was "right to take a cautious approach" to price-setting to ensure that it went smoothly. He refused to apologise and said the sale had raised £2bn for the taxpayer, with a further £1.5bn from the 30% stake in Royal Mail which it had retained. The privatisation of Royal Mail took place amid huge public interest and the shares rose by 38% from 330p to 455p on their first day of trading, meaning taxpayers had lost out on at least £750m in the sale. In last week's report, the National Audit Office was critical of the government's approach. Its head, Amyas Morse, said: "The [business] department was very keen to achieve its objective of selling Royal Mail, and was successful in getting the company listed on the FTSE 100. "Its approach, however, was marked by deep caution, the price of which was borne by the taxpayer." Demand for Royal Mail shares was 24 times the maximum number available to investors, the NAO said, but the banks overseeing the sale had advised there was not sufficient demand to justify a significantly higher figure. The Business Select Committee is compiling its own report on the privatisation. The controversy over the Royal Mail sell-off prompted angry exchanges between Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour leader Ed Miliband in Parliament last week. Mr Miliband said Mr Cameron was "not so much the 'Wolf of Wall Street' as the 'dunce of Downing Street'". The prime minister likened the Labour leader and shadow chancellor Ed Balls to "two Muppets". The 3,000km race through the Australian desert, from Darwin to Adelaide, is the classic test for innovators trying to push the boundaries of what is possible with a Sun-powered vehicle. Solar Team Great Britain will be entering the event's Cruiser Class, which puts the emphasis on practicality as well as efficiency. The cars must carry passengers. They cannot simply be some pencil-thin, ultra design that only a driver can squeeze into through a removable cockpit canopy. "Cruiser Class is about two or more seats. It's about a practical car," said Steven Heape, who leads the team of volunteers behind Solar Team Great Britain. "In many ways, it's the class that goes back to the roots of the competition. It was envisaged as a design competition for cars that could run on the Sun, but extrapolating that forwards it meant we would ultimately get to the productionisation of solar vehicles." To succeed, the Brits will have to overcome expert teams from the Netherlands. Throughout its 30-year history, the competition has been dominated by the Dutch - so much so that 2017's race is being promoted on Twitter with the hashtag #BWSCTakeOnTheDutch. Mr Heape, an engineer and renewables consultant, has pulled together a range of talents. At one end, he has students; at the other, he has experienced hands from the likes of Airbus and QinetiQ. There's even a former Concorde aerodynamicist in the group. Development work on the car is coming on apace. The motor and drive technology have been identified, and the vehicle control system is already running on a test bench. The chassis is expected to go into production in mid-January. By early New Year, the final shape of the car should also have been frozen as well. "What you see is our Version 5.1," explained Mr Heape. "We have a strategic relationship with the Centre for Modelling & Simulation (CFMS) in Bristol, who have one of the UK's largest supercomputers, and we'll be using that to run our aerodynamics design through until mid-Jan, early Feb. We want to chase down every last little bit of drag." Race strategy will be critical. Although the car will carry a five-square-metre silicon solar array to collect energy from the Sun, the rules do permit the vehicle to be charged externally from the mains. But any team that wants to take an energy boost from the grid will also need to compensate by having more passengers (weight) onboard. "Teams will be thinking through the permutations. Is it better to charge more often and put more people in; or charge less often and put in fewer people?" The 2013 event saw a four-seater solar car travel from Darwin to Adelaide with an external energy consumption of only 64 kilowatt hours. In comparison, a modern family car consumes around 56mpg and will have an energy consumption of approximately 5,000kWh. Solar Team Great Britain wants to be road testing its vehicle come April. The car would then be shipped to Australia in July. The race itself starts on Sunday 8 October. "It’ll be a harsh environment - 3,000km through the desert, with the flies and the dust and the heat. But if you want to show you've produced a robust and resilient solar design - that’s the environment you need to go into," Mr Heape told BBC News. [email protected] and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos Vickery House, 69, of Brighton Road, Handcross, pleaded not guilty to eight charges of indecent assault at the Old Bailey on the first day of his trial. The case before Judge Christine Henson is expected to be opened on Tuesday. Mr House is charged with indecent assaults against six males aged 15 to 34 between 1970 and 1986. The first two charges allege he indecently assaulted a boy of 15 between April 1970 and April 1971. The other six relate to five males, aged 17 to 34 between December 1976 and January 1986. They were allegedly committed in East Sussex and Devon while he was a priest. One thing it emphasises is that I really ought to stop referring to "the high street". With falling footfall, retail is following where the people are. We heard on Monday from the voice of Big Retail that it is concerned at the prospect of more than 900,000 jobs being lost from the shift to online, a rise in the floor on low wages, and the apprenticeship levy. This underlines an economist's view of the minimum wage. For 17 years, it's been set at the maximum level reckoned to avoid a cut in the number of jobs available. Removing the link with that calculation, and raising it to the arbitrary number picked by George Osborne, means that we're likely to see an impact on jobs. Yet while job losses are one downside of a higher minimum wage, other sectors are looking at more labour-saving (or productivity-boosting) investment in equipment, which is something the British economy has been needing. For retail, there are many other moves afoot in customer behaviour, and they are clearer from the annual results just published by two of the biggest presences on the Great British high street. Gregg's has managed a clever trick of being perceived as a local company in several parts of Britain - selling Scotch pies to Scots and stoaties to its original home market of Tyneside. It's bigger than you might think, with 20,000 employees. Once known as a baker, Gregg's is less of the place to get a loaf of bread these days, unless you want it as part of a sandwich, including the "heat-to-eat" toastie varieties. With a lot of refurbishment after growth slowed in recent years, more than 80% of outlets are now designed around "food-on-the-go" - and more conversions are planned. Coffee has become a feature, offered at a lower price point than the big coffee chains. To depend less on the hi-vis, high-calorie construction worker traffic or white van man, and to move to the more nutritionally-discerning office worker, the options are getting healthier. A 10th of sales are now classified "healthy options". If it's a stalwart of the British snacking diet, then it is much less focussed on the high street. The place to be is where people are on the move - for commuters, for instance, wanting breakfast in a rush. Gregg's franchises are opening in motorway services, petrol stations, around transport hubs and at retail and industrial parks (bad news for the independent burger van). The share of outlets in those categories is up, in only two years, from 20% to 27%. Last year, 122 new outlets were opened and 70 closed. Gregg's has reached 1,700 in total and intends to continue that growth spurt - to 2000 and beyond - now including Northern Ireland. Note that's not just opening more outlets. It also involves 60 or so closures per year. Many of those are on traditional shopping streets, where leases are up for renewal and footfall is down. It's worth noting also that £100m of investment over the next five years includes big changes to Gregg's supply lines, starting with closure of three of its 12 bakeries. As this iced bun sets in the east, with Edinburgh closing at a cost of more than 100 jobs, it rises in the west, where Glasgow gets the firm's first big investment boost. Having spelled out that set of plans, with 2015 sales up 5% and profits up 25% to £73m, the stock market likes what it sees. The price was up 16%. Also re-orienting into the food-on-the-go market is McColl's, another British high street stalwart. It has seen its traditional newsagent role in decline, and it's reinventing itself as a convenience store. Either its legacy is a bit more of a weight to carry, or it is sticking more to the conventional shopping street, or perhaps it's at an earlier stage of transition than Gregg's. Either way, like-for-like sales fell 2% last year. At least pre-tax profits were up from £12.6m to £21.1m. Four years ago, McColl's had fewer than 500 convenience stores. It now has nearly 900 and by the end of this year, it intends to have more than 1,000. It's acquiring new sites - 60 last year. It's converting to food and booze. A hundred newsagents have introduced alcohol - "high return on low investment" - and 148 newly offer food-on-the-go. McColl's is ditching newsagents too. Nearly 100 are being shed and 45 were converted to convenience stores last year. This is competition for the supermarket giants, which have moved closer to people's homes, in smaller format stores. Morrison's attempt to do so came too late and didn't last long. Having sold off the few it had opened, it announced this week it is to sell groceries through Amazon - a presence, both respected and feared, that looms large in any discussion of retail revolution. For McColl's, convenience means being the store of choice within half a mile of most homes. The company has quite an American approach - including the staples, plus coffee and breakfast, lunch sandwiches and fruit pots, and extended opening. Emphasising its role as a hub of "neighbourhood services", McColl's took on 72 more postal franchises last year. It is the UK's biggest Post Office operator, with 520 counters in the mix. It has had one successful trial of opening a Subway in-store franchise, with more to come, hoping that "it helps to bring into our stores a younger group of customers". And yes, it still sells newspapers. Indeed, it still delivers them, to 130,000 homes. The veteran McColl's boss, James Lancaster, is preparing to step down after more than 40 years, for a move along to the corridor to the office of non-executive chairman. He points out that this is the company that does more than most to introduce young people to the world of work, and early starts. Amadou stood against President Mahamadou Issoufou in elections in March. He is now in exile in France and was tried in absentia. His lawyers were also not present in court in protest over a trial which they said was a parody of justice. Amadou has repeatedly denied charges that he profited by buying new born babies from neighbouring Nigeria. It was alleged that he and his wife - along with several others - were involved in a plot falsely to claim the parenthood of about 30 children from Nigeria who were then sold to affluent couples in Niger. Defence lawyers argued that the case against him was politically motivated and should be adjourned to allow time for documents relating to the case to be sent to Amadou in France. But their request was rejected by the trial judge. The defence also argue that the ultimate aim of the trail is to prevent Amadou from running in 2021 elections. Those defendants who were in court refused to answer questions - their lawyers say it is likely they will appeal. Cusiter won 70 Test caps for Scotland from 2004 to 2014, and also played six times for the British and Irish Lions during their 2005 tour of New Zealand. The 33-year-old joined Sale in 2014, after spells with Glasgow Warriors, Border Reivers and Perpignan. "This is the right time to hang up my boots and move onto the next challenge," he told the Sale website. "Playing for Scotland 70 times was more than I could have dreamed of growing up learning how to play rugby at Robert Gordon's College in Aberdeen. "The memories of playing for Scotland and touring New Zealand with the British and Irish Lions will be with me forever, and I am grateful for all the incredible experiences I have been afforded through rugby. "I've been fascinated by the Scotch whisky industry for the past few years and firmly believe that it is Scotland's finest and greatest export and something to be very proud of." Cusiter was part of the Scotland side which reached the quarter-finals of the 2007 World Cup in France, and later won the Top 14 title with Perpignan in 2009.

Mr Corbyn, who has promised a £500bn investment programme, pledged to overhaul infrastructure and industrial strategy and "decarbonise our economy". "There is an alternative to the drift and decay of the Tories, an economy that works for all," he said. Mr Corbyn's critics in the party say he cannot win a general election. He faces a leadership challenge from his former work and pensions spokesman Owen Smith, the result of which will be announced on 24 September. The speech at Bloomberg on Thursday followed another row in the party after a list of MPs accused of "abuse" towards Mr Corbyn and his allies was compiled by the leader's team and sent to the Press Association. Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell' who chairs Mr Corbyn's leadership campaign, apologised for the release, saying it had been "inappropriate" and he hoped it did not set back attempts over the summer to rebuild relationships in the party. In the speech, Mr Corbyn said the UK economy was "poised between two alternative futures" - one, offered by the Conservative government, "where the fast buck takes precedence", the other a "new, dynamic economy that breaks with the failures and injustice of the past". The Labour leader said to continue cutting investment was "an act of unpardonable folly" and said June's referendum vote to leave the EU was actually a "decisive rejection" of austerity, "poverty pay", zero-hours contracts and a housing shortage. He unveiled plans to create one million jobs through a £500bn investment programme in infrastructure, manufacturing and new industries in August - claiming it would be funded through "an expanding economy and driving down tax evasion". On Thursday, he pledged to "overhaul and rebuild our infrastructure, right across the country" - including improving superfast broadband access to areas that have suffered under-investment and improving education - with a swipe at PM Theresa May's grammar school plans as "Tory tests and segregation at age 11". While Labour would push for the UK to retain "full access to the European single market" in Brexit talks, he said other EU obligations, such as state aid rules should not be part of the UK's "post Brexit relationship" with the EU. Procurement must be used by the government to help British industry - for example insisting high-quality British steel is used in infrastructure projects. "We cannot be afraid of intervening directly to support supply chains and new industries, any deal with the EU must recognise that the old state aid rules are no longer valid," he said. Among other policies outlined were increasing spending on scientific research - including doubling energy research with the intention of making Britain a "world leading renewables producer", strengthening workers' rights and tighten up rules about business takeovers. Mr Corbyn has faced much criticism from his own MPs, having lost a confidence vote earlier in the summer. However, after the speech, Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell said there was no disunity over the economic direction the party had taken. "We are all on the same page. There's no dispute at all with regard to the direction of economic policy. Over the last 12 months we have transformed that debate. We are an anti-austerity party, we are involved in long-term patient investment. We are trying to ensure that we work with businesses and trade unions and bring them together." He said relationships had been rebuilt over the summer and almost all MPs had "swung behind Jeremy" when he attacked Mrs May over grammar schools. The Labour leader also said he was growing an olive tree as part of efforts to rebuild relationships with Labour MPs. "I'm very keen on providing olive branches and indeed a number of olive branches have been offered to me," he said. "And as a practical start to this I am growing an olive branch, an olive tree in fact, on the balcony of my office. It has been growing very well, it's thriving." The health board wants to use the space at the Highland Heartbeat Centre for other clinical services. It said this would mean closing the centre, but the change would not happen until alternative arrangements for those who use it are in place. The Big Hi-5 Stop campaign said there had not been adequate consultation. The group representing the cardiac patients and their families also said the centre and its staff provided important, and different, services to those offered by other support groups. NHS Highland said it was unable to say when the site would close as a cardiac rehabilitation centre. It said the space at the centre was needed for clinical services that needed to be on the Raigmore Hospital site. A spokesperson for the health board said: "We have been looking at different elements of cardiac rehabilitation including a move to more community-based activities. "Discussions on this will continue and will also include some joint visits with local group Inverness Bravehearts to look at the alternative arrangements. "We have the best interests of our service users in mind and want to make sure we deliver as good a service in the short term and going into the future we are looking to provide a better, more flexible and responsive service for cardiac rehabilitation across Highland." The spokesperson said further work was required to make sure "any outstanding concerns" were addressed. The 51-year-old and joint assistant boss Craig Shakespeare only signed new contracts with the Premier League champions in May. Former PE teacher and Chelsea scout Walsh has been credited with helping discover bargain signings Riyad Mahrez and midfielder N'Golo Kante. Chelsea paid £30m for Kante last week. Mahrez joined from Le Havre in 2014 for £400,000 and was a star player as the Foxes became top-flight champions for the first time in their 132-year history. The Algerian was also voted Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year last season, but has repeatedly been linked with a move away. However, striker Jamie Vardy and captain Wes Morgan have signed new deals, with Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri telling Sky Sports on Tuesday that Mahrez "wants to stay". New Everton owner Farhad Moshiri headhunted "number one target" Ronald Koeman to be the club's manager after Roberto Martinez was sacked before the end of the 2015-16 season. It has been reported that Walsh, who joined the Foxes in November 2011, could be made Everton's sporting director. Those detained include officials from the main Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP). The arrests come two days after twin bomb attacks near a football stadium in Istanbul which killed 44 people. Meanwhile, Austria says that talks with Turkey over membership of the European Union should be suspended. A statement from the interior ministry says the operation covered 11 provinces across Turkey from the northwest to the southeast, and targeted people suspected of "spreading terror group propaganda". It is not clear whether Monday's arrests were directly related to the bomb attacks. Speaking in parliament, Turkish Health Minister Recep Akdag said most of the 44 people killed on Saturday were policemen. "It is very painful that we lost 36 of our police officers and eight civilians in a bloody attack," he said, according to Dogan news agency. The Kurdish militant group TAK, an offshoot of the PKK, said in a statement it had carried out the attack. President Erdogan told reporters on Sunday that Turkey would fight "the scourge of terrorism to the end", and promised that the attackers would pay a "heavy price". Last month, 10 HDP lawmakers - including co-leaders Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag - were arrested, causing international alarm. Speaking ahead of a meeting with his EU counterparts in Brussels, Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz said that Europe could no longer ignore President Erdogan's crackdown on the opposition. "In the last few years, Turkey has drifted more and more away from Europe and in the past few months this trend has picked up speed. More than 100,000 have been arrested," he said. "Those who are dissenting are being intimidated and the death penalty is to be brought back. Europe has to react. The European parliament in my view did this courageously: they demanded the accession talks to be suspended. I share this assessment." 17 February: TAK attack on vehicles carrying general staff personnel in Ankara kills 28 people 13 March: 37 people are killed by TAK militants in a suicide car bombing in Ankara 8 June: TAK bomb attack in Istanbul kills seven police officers and four civilians 30 July: Turkish army base attacked in south-east - unconfirmed reports say soldiers killed some 35 Kurdish fighters who tried to storm the base 9 October: Car bomb attack by PKK militants on checkpoint in south-east kills 10 soldiers and eight civilians The Black and Whites were ahead on four minutes through Steve Michaels, the first of four first-half tries. Michaels again, Mark Minichello and Danny Houghton scored before Tom Davies crossed to cut the deficit to 26-4. Tries from Liam Marshall and Lewis Tierney got Wigan back in it but Hull scored two more tries to seal victory. Full-back Jamie Shaul and Albert Kelly, who added a drop goal, stretched their side clear before Marshall and Davies both added an extra try each for the visitors to complete the scoring. They actually matched Hull's six tries, but Wigan's lack of a reliable kicker cost them as, with five conversion attempts missed, the winning 13-point margin proved to be all down to the boot. Between them, Hull's Jake Connor (5) and Nick Rawsthorne (2) landed five successful conversions, two penalties and Kelly's drop-goal to Marshall's lone conversion. As a result of the fixture schedule drawn up to incorporate a pre-season England training camp which did not go ahead, injury-hit reigning Super League champions Wigan suffered a third defeat in 10 days, to remain sixth. But an equally patched-up Hull side made light of having even less turnaround time, as they took to the pitch for the third time in nine days. Last weekend's Spring Bank Holiday double fixture list, consisting of games largely played both on Friday and Monday, was the second of the season following the traditional busy Easter programme - and the physical toll on both sets of players was again evident. Hull coach Lee Radford: "This is the most pleasing win of the season because of the circumstances for both teams. It's been an unbelievably difficult period that didn't need to happen. "The schedule was made for an England camp that never came about. I understand the RFL defending the situation, but if you're not prepared to admit to making mistakes you're never going to right the wrongs. "I read an article that said Super League coaches should stop moaning about their players. I go to meetings and listen for an hour about player welfare and how depressed they are and how we need to keep them happy. "There was no thought for player welfare there in that game. That was two reserve teams running on empty but we'll be better for it. But some acknowledgement has to be made that mistakes have been made. Today's game would have been cancelled had it not been for players being jabbed up." Wigan coach Shaun Wane: "They were the best team. We were miles off. We were too loose and gave too many penalties away. "We need to get back to good defence. It was a poor and soft start and we gave ourselves too much to do. "We scored some tries in the second half but it wasn't enough as we were out-muscled. We had too much defence to do and we have a lot to learn. "We're a confident bunch but we're low on gas. Hull are the same with injures but they coped better." Hull FC: Shaul; Michaels, Talanoa, Tuimavave, Rawsthorne; Kelly, Connor; Green, Houghton, Thompson, Washbrook, Minichiello, Manu. Replacements: Fash, Downs, Turgut, Matongo. Wigan: Tierney; Davies, Forsyth, Burgess, Marshall; Williams, Leuluai; Nuuausala, McIlorum, Sutton, Wells, Farrell, Isa. Replacements: J Tomkins, Powell, Tautai, Field. Sin Bin: Farrell (29). Attendance: 10,333. Referee: Phil Bentham (RFL). Patients in England will also be able to enter symptoms online and receive tailored advice or a call back from a health professional. The NHS.uk website will allow patients to book appointments, access medical records and order prescriptions. The initiatives are part of moves towards a paperless NHS. It was announced in February this year that £4bn had been set aside for the IT initiative. The new online triage system is part of an expansion of the current NHS 111 non-emergency phone line service. The service is being developed with leading clinicians and will be piloted before the public can use it. The re-launched NHS website will also allow patients to compare how well their local health services perform in areas of dementia, diabetes and learning disability services. Data on maternity, cancer and mental health data will be added in the autumn. The site will also have a new collection of NHS-approved health apps to guide patient choice. Mr Hunt said: "We are going to make very big moves in the next 12 months into apps and wearables, "I wear a Fitbit, many people use apps. What is going to change with apps is the way that these apps link directly into our own medical records. "And by March next year NHS England are going to publish a library of approved apps in areas like mental health and chronic conditions like diabetes. "We will also in the next 12 months be having a competition because we think we need better apps than the ones that are available in the market. "We don't want to develop them ourselves but we want them to be developed by entrepreneurs who have the specialist knowledge and creativity to do this. "These will link into people's medical records." In 2012 ministers had promised that within three years patients in England would be able to book GP appointments and get test results online. In 2013 Mr Hunt said he wanted the NHS to be paperless by 2018 - with the first step, giving people online access to their health records supposed to be available by March 2015. A report suggested better use of technology could allow £4.4bn to be put back into the NHS. Colin Clements from Powerscreen was speaking to the BBC's Inside Business programme. He said that firms operating in the Eurozone currently have a significant advantage. "The euro is a real struggle for us at the moment," he said. "We're much more expensive landed in a eurozone where our machines are sold by our dealers in euros compared to our European base competitors. "They also have a big advantage bringing product into the UK so they can undermine our very strong market share in the UK whilst we're struggling to maintain our share in the eurozone." Colin Clements' interview will be broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Business at 13:30 BST on Sunday 26 April. Buildings were "vibrating" as waves battered the coastline in Torcross on Saturday and a huge crack appeared along sea defences. A stretch of sea wall collapsed on Friday and a main road was closed. It is likely the A379 will be shut for about six weeks as repair work gets underway. Stuart Jacob, Licensee at the Start Bay Inn, said: "The whole building was vibrating, it was like the bay had been turned into an aeroplane. "We came outside and saw the crack and took the option to close the pub, we didn't think it was safe." It is hoped single lane traffic can be diverted through a car park to reconnect the village next week. Josh Gardner, vice-chairman of Stokenham Parish Council, said: "Obviously businesses are worried about what's going to happen and what their future is down here but hopefully we can sort something out." A statement from South Hams District Council said: "Devon County Council has closed the road, the A379, while it is unsafe to use and intends to start work next week to repair damage to the highway. "In the meantime diversions are in place. Engineers from South Hams District Council and Devon County Council are on site and assessing the condition of the sea wall in order to limit any further deterioration." The decision follows a Supreme Court ruling that opened the way to such unions. Gay marriage is only legal in the capital, Mexico City, and a few states. Elsewhere in Latin America, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and most recently Colombia have already legalised same-sex marriage. Mexico's Supreme Court declared last year that it was unconstitutional for the country's states to ban such marriages. Mr Pena Nieto made the announcement at an event marking Mexico's national day against homophobia. On Twitter, the president said: "For an inclusive Mexico that recognises in diversity one of its biggest strengths." He used a hashtag in Spanish saying: "Without homophobia". His and the Mexican government's profile pictures on Twitter were overlaid with the rainbow flag of gay pride. Argentina was the first Latin American country to legalise same-sex marriages in July 2010. The BBC's Will Grant in Mexico City says the governing PRI party has always prided itself on upholding the conservative values of Mexican society. But the move is perhaps a recognition by the Pena Nieto government that attitudes towards gay rights have relaxed in recent years, our correspondent adds. David Goodall was ordered to work from home next year after his presence at Western Australia's Edith Cowan University was deemed a safety risk. But the university has now found an alternative workspace. Australia's oldest working scientist, Dr Goodall has produced more than 100 research papers in an ecology career spanning 70 years. He is currently an unpaid honorary research associate. After two decades at Edith Cowan University, Dr Goodall was told in August to pack up his office when staff raised concerns about his safety. It was another setback for the ecologist, who was recently forced to give up theatre when his declining vision prevented him from driving to rehearsals. The university confirmed "better" office space has been found at a campus closer to Dr Goodall's residence. "I am pleased we have found a solution that will ensure David can continue to be based at ECU," vice-chancellor Steve Chapman told the BBC. Dr Goodall said he was grateful the university was able to accommodate him. "I hope to continue with some useful work in my field in so far as my eyesight permits," he told the ABC. "But I still think the emphasis on safety was unnecessary." The government hopes that the studying time lost by the country's 1.8 million children can still be made up. The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) says that the reopening of Sierra Leone's schools marks "a major step in the normalisation of life". New cases of Ebola continue to be reported in Sierra Leone but numbers are declining. The BBC's Umaru Fofana reports from the capital Freetown that the pupils are "really excited" to be going back despite concerns about Ebola. To allay fears and ensure that there are no new Ebola cases, the first day at school will be spent on Ebola education and going through basic hygiene rules. Unicef has trained 9,000 teachers in Ebola prevention and is also supplying hand washing facilities to every school. There will also be the chance to remember friends and colleagues who died from Ebola. Secondary school teacher Nancy Banya told the BBC's Newsday programme that after welcoming the children there will be a quiet time to reflect on the lives of "those friends who we lost". There have been more than 12,000 Ebola cases in Sierra Leone with 3,831 people dying from the virus since the outbreak began in the country in May 2014, according to the World Health Organization. The number of new cases is declining with just six recorded last week. At the start of the school day pupils will be required to wash their hands with soap and clean water and have their body temperature checked before entering the classroom, our reporter says. But he adds that there is concern that school facilities will not be ready. He visited several schools in different parts of the country where the classroom furniture was broken and the compounds were covered in overgrown grass. Despite this many pupils will be pleased, says Ms Banya, as the "kids are so bored" staying at home. Sierra Leone is the last of the three countries worst affected by the Ebola virus to reopen schools. Guinea reopened its schools in January and Liberia followed a month later. The Irish prime minister was speaking at a Belfast Pride breakfast event in the city on Saturday morning. The Republic of Ireland's first openly gay leader, said he was attending the event as a "gesture of solidarity". Northern Ireland is the only place in the UK where a ban on same-sex marriage still exists. In 2015, the Republic of Ireland voted to legalise same-sex marriage in a referendum. Mr Varadkar told crowds outside the Northern Whig in Belfast that he was not "here to unsettle anyone". "But I am here to state my support and my government's support for equality before the law and individual freedom for all citizens wherever they may reside," he said. The DUP, which opposes same-sex marriage, has raised no opposition to his attendance at the event, but across the street a group of Free Presbyterians staged a protest. The taoiseach (Irish prime minister) added: "Difference makes us stronger and that's something I believe in and something that I think can mark Northern Ireland out in the future. "I totally appreciate that this it is an issue for the Northern Ireland Assembly, but we need an assembly up and running." Mr Varadkar said he had given his opinion on the issue to former first minister, Arlene Foster. Thousands of people are expected to attend the Belfast Pride parade on Saturday afternoon, although Mr Vardakar has said he was not able to attend the main event because he had a prior commitment. Mr Varadkar also said he was pleased that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and Gardaí (Irish police) would be marching in the parade in uniform for the first time. "Doesn't that say something really good about Northern Ireland and the way it has developed as a society in the past 10 or 20 years?" he added. On Friday, the first day of Mr Vardakar's visit, he called for "unique solutions" to preserve the relationship between the UK and the European Union after Brexit. During a speech at Queen's University in Belfast he also warned "the clock is ticking" in Brexit negotations and that "every single aspect of life in Northern Ireland could be affected" when the UK leaves the European Union. On Friday afternoon, the taoiseach met members of Northern Ireland's political parties, including representatives from the DUP, Sinn Féin, the SDLP and Alliance. His meeting with DUP leader Arlene Foster came days after a row between the party and the taoiseach over the Irish border post-Brexit. But Mrs Foster told the BBC she had thanked the taoiseach for "discounting" the idea of a border along the Irish sea. The 22-year-old from Oldham was enjoying his new job as a media sales manager for the Guardian, based in Manchester. He was in love with his girlfriend, Stephanie Reid, 22, and had travelled to London that day to meet a colleague. Mr Foulkes lived with his parents, Graham and Janet, and sister Jill but was planning to move in with Ms Reid and start a family. Ms Reid said they had been together every day since their first date. David Foulkes joined the Guardian as territory sales manager for the North-West, which meant he was visiting local shops to promote the paper. He attended Hulme grammar school in Manchester, where he was a keen squash player and swimmer. He stayed on for the sixth form and then went to Oldham Business School, before getting his first job. His father, Graham Foulkes, has become one of the leading campaigners for the 7 July families. He told the inquests: "He learned to drive at 17. We bought David an old Volkswagen Polo and, after that, we saw very little of him at weekends. "At about this time, David found girls, or I should say they found him, because David was 6ft, very handsome and had a car. "I held my breath and had that dreaded man-to-man chat with him. We went to the local pub and I remember coughing and spluttering as I tried to approach the subject. "He caught on very quickly and assured me that he knew all about the birds and bees." Mr Foulkes, who played squash once a week with his son, added: "He was always delighted to beat dad, which he did all too often." He said: "I am extremely proud that David was a very thoughtful person who cared for the people he called friends. "In his group there were two unfortunate people who developed mental health problems and, as happens, the group moved away from them, but David did not. "He would visit them in hospital and always kept a lookout for them and, after their discharge, he encouraged them to rejoin the group and enjoy a normal, ordinary life." He added: "I cannot say what the future would have been for David. Who could? But I do know he would have made us proud and happy parents. "David is missed beyond words by all who knew him. He was a super lad who would never do anyone any harm." Hundreds of mourners attended his funeral at the church of St Anne in Lydgate, Oldham. Outside the church, flowers and tributes covered the ground. His former colleague Kaye Walsh said: "When things were tough David would always be there with his cheeky smile and wit that made us all smile again. "I cannot explain the loss we will all feel throughout our lives. "Not many people touch our hearts in this lifetime, but David did. His presence would light up a room." Five-year-old Corey Edwards, from Teignmouth, Devon, who had a congenital heart defect, was being treated at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. Jemma and Craig Edwards decided on the bedside wedding when they were told Corey could die in hospital. Corey died on Thursday evening, five days after his parents got married. Mr Edwards said it was "a day we will never forget". Corey, who was diagnosed with a complex congenital heart defect when he was seven months old, was on the paediatric intensive care unit after being admitted in January. His parents organised Saturday's wedding in 48 hours, after being told their son did not have much longer to live. They also had to get special permission from the Archbishop of Canterbury. Mr Edwards said: "He's [Corey] asked quite a few times why we are not married, so we thought we would make it a special day and cheer him up a bit." The couple said they "rushed into town" to buy wedding clothes and "made do with their engagement rings". Hospital staff helped, with one nurse doing the bride's hair and another making the wedding cake. Craig Edwards said: "Instead of being at his bedside crying the whole time at least on that one day we had a real special day. We know he was happy that day." Hospital chaplain the Reverend Stephen Oram said: "It was fulfilling the wish of a dying child. "It was also emotional because we knew the outcome for poor Corey isn't going to be a good outcome and everyone was just aware of the specialness of the day for Mr and Mrs Edwards and Corey." Two officers, the helmsman, the head of cabin service and the head of the crisis team were given up to two years and 10 months in jail for multiple manslaughter, negligence and shipwreck. They had agreed plea bargains and may avoid custodial sentences. Capt Francesco Schettino is being tried separately. He is charged with multiple manslaughter for causing the shipwreck and abandoning the vessel with thousands still aboard. His case will resume on 23 September, and his request for a plea bargain has been rejected by the prosecution. The five defendants were Roberto Ferrarini, director of the Italian cruise company's crisis unit, cabin service director Manrico Giampedroni, first officer Ciro Ambrosio, Indonesian helmsman Jacob Rusli Bin and third officer Silvia Coronica. They received prison sentences ranging from 18 months to two years and 10 months as the court agreed to plea bargains in order to avoid a lengthy trial. The heaviest sentence was given to Roberto Ferranini who was ashore as the disaster unfolded and in charge of co-ordinating the cruise ship company's response to the crisis. None is likely to go to jail as sentences of under two years are suspended in Italy, while longer sentences may be appealed or replaced with community service, Reuters cited judicial sources as saying. Prosecutor Francesco Verusio told reporters that Capt Schettino's trial was the most important. "Justice is beginning to be done but there will be real justice in the end, when we can determine with certainty what the responsibilities of the captain are," he said. But lawyers for the victims reacted with dismay. "What will the families of the victims think? This is truly disappointing," Daniele Bocciolini told SkyTG24. "Schettino remains the only one on trial, but not the only one at fault, in my opinion." Massimiliano Gabrielli, lawyer for the group Justice for Concordia, compared the "shameful" length of the sentences to the seven years given to Emilio Fede, who was convicted of procuring prostitutes for former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Capt Schettino's lawyers say he faces a maximum 20 years in jail if found guilty. He denies the charges and says that without his actions many more people would have died. The trial is taking place in Grosseto, the city nearest the site of the wreck, and much of the case against him has already been disclosed in a report by court-appointed experts. He has been accused of leaving the luxury liner before all those on board - 4,229 - had been evacuated and steering it too fast and too close to shore during a night-time, sail-past salute to people on the tiny island off Tuscany. Capt Schettino has already accepted some degree of responsibility, asking for forgiveness in a television interview last year as he talked of those who died. However, Capt Schettino maintains he managed to steer the stricken vessel closer to shore so it did not sink in deep water where hundreds might have drowned. His lawyers say he is being made a scapegoat for what was simply an accident. The vessel was holed by rocks just as many passengers were dining on the first night of their cruise. A disorganised evacuation followed as many of those on board panicked when the ship began to tilt to one side. Costa Crociere, part of the American-based Carnival Corporation, agreed to pay a $1.3m (£860,000) fine in April to settle possible criminal charges. Most passengers have already accepted compensation of about 11,000 euros ($14,200: £9,400) each, but remaining groups of survivors are holding out for more. The Costa Concordia still lies partially submerged while salvage crews work to refloat it. He went on to become a linchpin of the insurgency after the Taliban were toppled by the US-led invasion in 2001. He was eventually captured in a joint US-Pakistani raid in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi in February 2010. Little was heard of Mullah Baradar's fate until late in 2012 when his name repeatedly topped the list of Taliban prisoners the Afghans wanted released in order to encourage nascent peace talks. Pakistani officials released Mullah Baradar on 21 September but it is not clear whether he will be allowed to stay in Pakistan or sent to a third country. At the time of his arrest he was said to be second-in-command to the Taliban's spiritual leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, and one of his most trusted commanders. Senior Afghan officials hope that a senior figure like him could persuade the Taliban to engage in talks with Kabul - a critical part of the government's plan to ensure stability after Nato combat troops withdraw in 2014. He is reputedly one of those leading militants who favour talks with the US and the Afghan government. After helping found the Taliban movement in 1994, Mullah Baradar developed a profile as a military strategist and commander. A key Taliban operative, he was believed to be in day-to-day command of the insurgency and its funding. He held important responsibilities in nearly all the major wars across Afghanistan, and remained top commander of Taliban's formation in the western region (Herat) as well as Kabul. At the time the Taliban were toppled he was their deputy minister of defence. "His wife is Mullah Omar's sister. He controlled the money. He was launching some of the deadliest attacks against our security forces," an Afghan official who did not want to be named told the BBC at the time of his arrest. Mullah Baradar, like other Taliban leaders, was targeted by UN Security Council sanctions, which included the freezing of assets, a travel ban and an arms embargo. Before his 2010 capture, he made few public statements. But one of those statements was in July 2009, when he apparently engaged in an email exchange with Newsweek magazine. Asked for a reaction to the US troop surge in Afghanistan, he said the Taliban wanted to inflict maximum losses on the Americans. He also vowed to continue the "jihad" until "the expulsion of our enemy from our land". He said Mullah Omar was in good health and leading the fight against the coalition and denied Taliban leaders were based in Pakistan. Asked what would be the conditions for peace talks, he replied: "The basic condition is the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan." According to Interpol, Mullah Baradar was born in Weetmak village in Dehrawood district, in the Uruzgan province of Afghanistan, in 1968. But he is also known to be part of the Popalzai branch of Durrani tribe, the same as Afghan President Hamid Karzai. He is reported to have stayed in touch with Mr Karzai's brother, Ahmad Wali Karzai, who was head of the Kandahar provincial council from 2005 until his assassination in July 2011. Media playback is not supported on this device Their 4-0 home win over Cefn Druids on Boxing Day saw them draw level with Ajax Amsterdam's record set in 1972. TNS can eclipse the record set by Johan Cruyff's team if they beat Cefn Druids away on 30 December. They have already established a Welsh Premier League record for consecutive wins, beating Bangor City's mark. Two goals by Adrian Cieslewicz and one-each for Alex Darlington and Greg Draper clinched win number 26 on Boxing Day. Saints are 21 points clear at the top of the table and as the season reaches the halfway point are on course to win a sixth consecutive title. Their perfect league record has already earned them a place in Welsh football's history books. Craig Harrison's men became the first side to win 16 consecutive Dafabet Welsh Premier League games in a season with a 4-0 victory over Airbus UK Broughton in November. They are also still on course to win the domestic Welsh treble for a third successive year. The Oswestry-based side are through to the final of the Nathaniel MG League Cup, where they will face Barry Town United in January and also in round four of the JD Welsh Cup. Saints are also making an impression further afield. Having been invited to take part in a new-look Scottish Challenge Cup, Saints have beaten Forfar Athletic and Livingston in reaching the semi-finals. "It's a bit surreal when you think about it and look at it," said TNS boss Craig Harrison. "There's been a bit of negative press leading up to it about Ajax and TNS and how can you compare. "But to win 26 games at any level is a huge achievement by the players and they should be very proud of it." The current world record was set by Dutch giants Ajax in 1972, by a side which included the legendary Cruyff and Johann Neeskens. The Amsterdam club won 26 games in a row in all competitions, including 19 league wins in the Eredivisie, four European Cup victories and three Dutch Cup wins. Ajax came within one game of equalling the record during the 1995-96 season when a side featuring Edwin van der Sar, Frank and Ronald de Boer, Edgar Davids and Jari Litmanen won 25 games in a row. Brazilian side Cortiba won 24 straight games in 2011 and Real Madrid - including Wales forward Gareth Bale - won 22 consecutive games during the 2014-15 season. Scottish side East Kilbride actually went on a longer winning run earlier this season, with 30 consecutive wins, and received a crate of beer from Ajax in recognition. But their feat has not been recognised by Guinness World Records as they play in the fifth-tier Lowland League. After beating second-from-bottom Cefn Druids at home on Boxing Day The Saints stand on the brink of eclipsing a record set by one of the sport's most celebrated teams. Victory in the return game away at Druids' The Rock stadium on Friday would secure a little piece of footballing history. Harrison's side last suffered defeat in July when they were beaten 3-0 by Apoel Nicosia of Cyprus in a Champions League second qualifying round second leg tie. Williams dominated Formula 1 for much of the 1980s and '90s but have scored only one point this year. Deputy team principal Claire Williams said: "We've done a lot of work this year in order to turn this team around and we want to tell the world that. Williams is determined to come back and determined to fight for world championships again "Williams are not satisfied with coming ninth in the championship." She said Massa's decision to join the team alongside Finn Valtteri Bottas was the latest in a series of moves aimed at revitalising the former world champions. They have already signed a deal to switch from Renault to Mercedes engines, taken on a new technical director in Pat Symonds, who has won world titles with Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso at Benetton/Renault, and further changes in engineering staff are on the way. Williams said: "We've made some very clear decisions this year from announcing the Mercedes partnership to bringing in a new technical director in Pat Symonds, and this [signing Massa] is another piece of our jigsaw to tell the world that Williams is determined to come back and determined to fight for world championships again." Williams said persuading Massa, a 32-year-old 11-time grand prix winner, to join "wasn't actually too hard a sell - it's so clear to see this team is made up of fighters and people who want to win F1 races". Williams have been on a downward trend in recent years, halted only by an upturn in form in 2012, when they won their first race since 2004 thanks to Pastor Maldonado at the Spanish Grand Prix. Massa has been signed as replacement for the Venezuelan, who is now likely to drive for Lotus but also has options at Force India and Sauber. "Pastor has done a great job for Williams these three seasons and it's a shame he's leaving us, but he wants to go on and find a new challenge," said Williams, who described Bottas as "a real talent" and said partnering Massa with him is "really exciting". Williams are in the middle of a recruitment drive aimed at strengthening the team. One of the new signings will be Massa's Ferrari race engineer Rob Smedley, who is joining ahead of 2014 in a more senior role overseeing race engineering. Smedley has become famous for his down-to-earth radio communication with Massa in the past few years, including the notorious "Fernando [Alonso] is faster than you" message when Ferrari imposed team orders on their drivers at the 2010 German Grand Prix. Asked whether Smedley had signed, Claire Williams said: "We're working very hard to address the problems we have in-house. We have some great talent in Williams but we need to make sure we have all the talent we need to perform right at the top. "So I'm hoping that before the end of the season or maybe slightly after we'll be making some more announcements in a similar vein to this one [Massa]. Whether that involves a certain engineer or other engineers I can't tell you." She emphasised that any deal with Smedley was independent of Massa. "They don't come as a package," she said. "They come separately. They are very much their own people. "So if Rob Smedley was to join our team, it has to be on his terms, and he has to be given a role he wants to do and that may or may not be Felipe's race engineer. "Felipe is grown-up enough to join a team without bringing his race engineer with him." He beat Bury South MP Ivan Lewis and interim mayor Tony Lloyd after a vote by local party members closed on Friday. He said it was "a great honour". Labour has also confirmed its candidate for the contest in the West Midlands. It will reveal the Liverpool City Region candidate on Wednesday. Mr Burnham was born in Liverpool and has been MP for Leigh, Greater Manchester since 2001. He served in the Tony Blair and Gordon Brown governments, holding the posts of culture secretary and health secretary. The Everton supporter also won praise for his work on the campaign for justice following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster. Andy Burnham has called for the government to give him the tools to build a Northern Powerhouse and is robustly demanding improvements to public transport and social care provision. You might think he is getting ahead of himself, considering he has only won Labour's nomination for Greater Manchester mayor - he hasn't actually got the job. There is a small matter of the actual election to this new post next May. But with only one council in the conurbation controlled by the Conservatives, he is odds-on favourite to win. He has said he will resign as an MP if he does so. But it is interesting that in a more pressing contest - one that could determine the whole future of his party - he apparently doesn't have a view. At least not publicly. He was asked who he was supporting in the Labour leadership contest and he said he was remaining 'neutral' having done all he could to avert it. It is thought that more of Jeremy Corbyn's backers supported Tony Lloyd, but by refusing to join anti-Corbyn colleagues in resigning from the shadow cabinet Andy Burnham certainly didn't alienate them. A better test of the current leader's grassroots support will come tomorrow when his parliamentary aide Steve Rotheram will compete for the Labour nomination for what is in effect Mayor of the Merseyside (or 'Liverpool City Region') against Luciana Berger - who did resign as a shadow minister - and the current mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson. He told the government he would ensure it follows through on its promise of a "Northern Powerhouse" if he wins the 2017 election. Mr Burnham said: "To be selected as Labour's candidate for the first elected mayor of Greater Manchester is a great honour and I thank our members for the faith they have shown in me. "I will repay it by devoting all my energy to uniting the Labour family here, working to win back the voters we have lost and building a policy programme with broad appeal. "I will bring forward real answers to our housing crisis and give new hope to our young people." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn congratulated Mr Burnham, saying it would be "crucial that we have a mayor willing to do everything possible to improve the lives of everyone in Greater Manchester and in Andy we have that candidate". Mr Burnham won the contest among party members with 3,792 votes to Mr Lloyd's 2,163 and Mr Lewis's 1,472, on a turnout of 65.3%. Despite the turmoil at the top of Labour, and the growth in support for UKIP, the party still dominates Greater Manchester and the Leigh MP is in poll position to become the first mayor, BBC Radio Manchester Political Reporter Kevin Fitzpatrick said. "Other parties have yet to announce when they will choose their candidate, let alone who it will be, and that means Mr Burnham has another advantage - a head start in shaping his vision for how he would lead Greater Manchester as mayor," he added. Leading accountancy firm PwC has downgraded its growth forecasts for Scotland's economy. However, its UK Economic Outlook report suggests house prices will rise sharply after two years and reach an average of ??156,000 by 2020. PwC said Scotland was "skirting very close to recession". The firm also said "vastly more" affordable housing should be built to help first-time buyers get on the property ladder. PwC had forecast 1.8% growth in their March report. That has now been revised down to 1.3%. The rate of growth is predicted to fall to 0.3% in 2017 - but the economy in Scotland should avoid going into recession. The firm cites a slowdown in business investment from overseas as a reason for the fall. Meanwhile, PwC said the Scottish housing market will go into decline for the next two years - bucking the UK trend - before rising again in 2018 to record high levels. Lindsay Gardiner, regional chairman at PwC in Scotland, said: "Given what we are seeing here and in the recent Fraser of Allander report, Scotland is skirting very close to recession and while it is going to be a challenging few months, the country should avoid it. "As the UK now has a new cabinet and PM, who has stated she will proceed with Brexit, there is less uncertainty now than there has been for a few weeks and that is a good thing but there is still much uncertainty ahead as we now enter the areas of working out the best deal for the UK with Europe and what potential spin-offs that may mean for Scotland. "While our modelling sees the UK avoid recession, it would be prudent of businesses to make plans for recession scenarios, where they can." Adam Turner, government and public sector assistant director at PwC in Scotland, added: "The picture on housing is sobering and timely as we see the end of the right-to-buy scheme at the end of this month. "The only long-term solution for Scotland is to build vastly more affordable, quality housing in the places where people want to live. "This could eventually lead to a situation where earnings growth again starts to outstrip house price growth, sustainably bringing down affordability for those stuck in generation rent." The ink sketch, showing Pooh and Piglet looking at a watch at the foot of Owl's House, never made it into AA Milne's books and was kept by the artist. Sotheby's described the illustration as a "significant" and "rare unpublished example of Shepard's work". It is estimated to fetch between £30,000 and £50,000 at auction in London on Tuesday. The drawing was presented to composer Julian Slade at the first performance of a musical version of Winnie the Pooh at the Phoenix Theatre, London, in December 1970. AA Milne wrote the Pooh books in the 1920s while he lived in Ashdown Forest, near Hartfield in East Sussex. In December, a 1928 drawing of Pooh, Piglet and Christopher Robin playing Pooh Sticks was sold for £314,500 by Sotheby's. A poll of more than 2,000 adults in 2014 named Winnie the Pooh as the favourite children's book of the past 150 years. Sotheby's is also auctioning a 1931 illustration of Toad and Ratty from Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. The drawing, entitled "Toad told Rat all his adventures", showing the pair drinking coffee at a table, is expected to sell for between £10,000 and £15,000. Shepard, who died in 1976, was also a noted political cartoonist, but became best-known for his children's book illustrations. However, he famously came to despise his association with Winnie the Pooh, and was heard to describe the character as "that silly old bear" in later life. The material has been found in an area of cladding on the Kydd building, which is used for teaching. An aluminium composite was also used in the cladding on the Grenfell tower block. The university said further tests were under way to establish whether the product was "of concern". The five-storey building was re-clad in 2010 and a spokesman emphasised that no building regulations had been breached. It comes after Edinburgh Napier University ordered repairs to a halls of residence which was found to have the same cladding as Grenfell Tower. At least 80 people are feared to have died in the blaze which ripped through the high rise in Kensington earlier this month. In a statement, Abertay University said the cladding in question is on the east elevation of the Kydd building and faces into the Baxter building car park. The university added that the result of further tests would determine what it did about the cladding. The statement continued: "In the interim, to ensure the safety of building occupants, the university has carried out a thorough review of our fire risk assessments in the affected building and have received advice and guidance from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service locally to confirm some additional precautions for our fire safety management plan and evacuations procedures, such as relocating the bin stores. "The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are in agreement that with these additional measures, together with the already cautious approach to fire safety at the university, we can continue to operate safely from the building until we are in a position to determine any remedial measures that may be necessary for the longer term." A spokesman for the fire service added: "The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has been made aware that Abertay University in Dundee is currently investigating cladding at one of their buildings. "We will continue to liaise with the university during this process." A long-range penalty from Owen Farrell snatched a late 12-12 draw for the Lions in an epic third Test at Eden Park in Auckland. Fans watching the game at Rhiwbina Recreation Club had mixed emotions after the game. But they lauded Lions captain Sam Warburton, who was a former player at the club. After a hectic encounter in Saturday morning's final test, most supporters thought a draw was a fair result. Gareth Edwards said: "I'm delighted we got the draw. To be perfectly honest, I thought New Zealand were a slightly better side on the day, showed a lot of heart, spirit and courage and just about deserved to sneak away with a draw. "Whoever says the Lions is dead, absolute nonsense. This has got to live on forever." Gareth Hill said: "It's mixed feelings really because you want to go over there and win. "But for someone like Sam and Warren Gatland, who've been on two tours now and come home undefeated from both, I'm pleased not to have lost and disappointed not to have won. "At the end of the day, it was a tremendous battle." Alun Morgan felt the Lions should have taken their chances to seal the win. "It was absolutely fantastic but [I'm] a bit disappointed really, I thought we could have taken that series," he said. "There was a little bit too much box kicking for my liking but two fantastic teams. I'm chuffed to bits, I think a draw was a fair result." Rhiwbina RFC was Warburton's first club and fans described him as a player its younger members can look up to. Larry Spittle said: "I thought Warburton was just immense. The way he carries himself, he's just a role model for the kids here in Rhiwbina." Stephanie Harris added: "Sam is amazing, we're so proud as a club to own him and have him as our role model. "He's fantastic and I'm really pleased we've got somebody like that as an ambassador for Rhiwbina Rugby Club and the recreation club." Webb began to make his case for a Wales recall off the bench in the region's Pro12 triumph in Cork. But he departed in the final moments after a clash of heads. "It's disappointing for us but more importantly it's about Rhys," said head coach Steve Tandy. "I don't think it'll keep him out for too long, but with these head injury assessments you've got to make sure that players are at the forefront of these decisions. [He's] extremely doubtful." Webb later tweeted: "Thanks for all your messages. I'm fine but due to a short turnaround won't have enough time this week. Don't worry I'm back." He was making his first regional appearance of the season after suffering a foot injury in Wales's world cup warm-up against Italy. He missed his country's progress to the tournament's quarter-finals and Scarlets' Gareth Davies has become a try-scoring star in his absence. Davies scored a crucial try in Wales' World Cup win over England at Twickenham and got another as they beat Scotland in the Six Nations on Saturday. Webb has hopes of returning to Wales duty during the current tournament. They host France in Cardiff on Friday, 26 February before a 12 March date with England which coach Warren Gatland believes could be a tournament decider. Wales' Six Nations campaign ends in Cardiff against Italy on Saturday, 19 March. Ospreys are likely to be without prop Dmitri Arhip (back injury) but hope to have props Paul James and Aaron Jarvis, and lock/flanker James King, released from the Wales squad. The three have not featured in Wales's match-day squad for the opening two Six Nations matches. But wings Jeff Hassler and Eli Walker are likely to be back in the Ospreys squad for the Liberty Stadium encounter against Edinburgh, who lost 22-21 away to the Scarlets. The 30-year-old's move to the Keepmoat Stadium is added competition for Thorsten Stuckmann and Marko Marosi in the Doncaster goal. Neal, who has made 133 appearances, has featured just once for Vale this season since losing his place to Jak Alnwick. Neal was part of the Vale side which won promotion from League Two in 2013 and the Shrewsbury Town side which went up to League One the previous season. Meanwhile Rovers' veteran defender Rob Jones has left the club by mutual consent. The 36-year-old, who was also a coach with Doncaster's development side, moved to Rovers from Sheffield Wednesday in 2012. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. A British Horseracing Authority (BHA) panel has suspended him for six months, saying his original four-year ban was "too substantial to stand". It found the trainer had told Paul John to stop Echo Brava and Missile Man at meetings in December 2015. Best was banned until 2020 at a first hearing, but that verdict was quashed because of "an appearance of bias". Best can appeal against Monday's verdict. Matthew Lohn, the solicitor who chaired the initial hearing, was carrying out other work for the BHA at the time. There was no suggestion that Lohn had been biased against Best, but the BHA did find the panel's reasons for its findings were "insufficient to support its decision in this case". The new three-man disciplinary panel, chaired by Sir William Gage, found Best guilty of not giving proper instructions to John and of conduct prejudicial to horse racing. John rode Echo Brava at Plumpton on 14 December and Missile Man at Towcester three days later. Both horses finished unplaced. Gage said: "We find that Mr John did intentionally ride both horses other than on their merits: that is, these were 'stopping' rides. "We also find that is overwhelmingly likely that he rode in that way because those were Mr Best's instructions." The CSeries is a narrow-bodied passenger jet whose development has placed a major strain on Bombardier's finances. Bombardier is based in Canada, but it is Northern Ireland's largest manufacturing employer. Reuters news agency, citing unnamed sources, said it would form a joint venture with the Quebec government. Such a deal would mean the government would fund half the final development costs of the jet, which is due to enter service next year. Reuters said the government investment could ultimately be as much as $1bn (£496m). Any deal could be confirmed on Thursday when the firm publishes its quarterly financial results. The report added that Bombardier will also cancel the development of its Learjet 85 business jet. Earlier this year, it suspended the Learjet 85 programme due to a lack of demand for the plane. The wings for the CSeries are made at Bombardier's Belfast plant, as are some wing components for the Learjet 85. A Bombardier spokeswoman and Quebec's economy minister Jacques Daoust both declined to comment. The CSeries problems have made it a very challenging two years for Bombardier. There has been an overhaul in its top management team and even speculation that the entire commercial aircraft division could be put up for sale. Earlier this year, the firm confirmed it held talks with rival Airbus about selling a stake in the CSeries. About 800 Bombardier jobs in Belfast have gone within the past year, mostly among its contractor labour force. An index compiled for the Institute for Supply Management, which represents purchasing managers, rose to 52.8 in May, up from 51.5 in April, providing hope that growth is rebounding from a first-quarter slump. Anything above 50 indicates expansion. Less encouraging were figures showing consumer spending, a large driver of the US economy, was unchanged in April. That compares to a 0.5% increase in March. Stagnant consumer spending is one reason that the US manufacturing sector has stalled, and only grown slightly in the past few months. Manufacturers usually lags consumer spending, as firms wait to boost production in the wake of spending by consumers. "The April income and spending figures are another reminder that even though their incomes are rising at a healthy pace, households are still reluctant to boost spending more freely,'' said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at BMO Capital Markets. However personal income numbers were better - rising by 0.4% in April. As well as the improved manufacturing report, construction spending also increased in April to a near six-and-a-half year high. It jumped 2.2% to an annual rate of $1.0 trn, the highest level since November 2008. Monday's figures follow a sharp downward revision to first quarter growth last week, which showed the US economy shrinking by 0.7% in the first three months of the year. Well tonight she certainly has done that, wasting no time in announcing the most senior jobs in her cabinet, the first appointment only an hour or so after she walked in. No surprise on appointment one - Philip Hammond, the former foreign secretary, becomes the money man. He's the embodiment of the phrase, "a safe pair of hands", and takes on the biggest role as Theresa May's supporter. The biggest surprise is the appointment of Boris Johnson, the Tory members' darling, as the foreign secretary - one of the greatest offices of state, with a hugely different role as the UK contemplates life outside the EU. There will be arguments in the coming days of course about how that role will compare and possibly pull against the newly created "minister for Brexit", a role that's been filled by arch Eurosceptic David Davis, a serial campaigner for civil liberties who is difficult to placate. The Eurosceptic Liam Fox is in charge of drumming up trade. But the decision that marks the clearest break with the past is the sacking of George Osborne, David Cameron's fixer, and political friend for so long. The chancellor for six years was told today his services were no longer required. A sign, if one was really required, that Theresa May is determined to use the opportunity to lead in the way that she desires. Her hallmark may be safety and caution - but she is clearly not afraid of being bold. The rest of the cabinet will be appointed through the day tomorrow, with big roles like education and health still to be settled. If we've learnt anything so far, it's that Theresa May fully intends for things to run smoothly, but is perfectly willing to surprise. The 36-year-old Australian was taken into custody in Queensland on Wednesday before being released without charge. A Queensland Police spokesman said it followed reports of a disturbance, but would not give further details. Local media said it was at the home of Mr Hackett's parents. His family later told reporters they had concerns for Mr Hackett's welfare. Local media reported Mr Hackett's father, Neville, called police on Wednesday. Television footage showed Mr Hackett displaying his handcuffs to waiting cameras as he was driven into a police station. Neville Hackett told the Gold Coast Bulletin his son had not made any threats, and he had been receiving medical treatment. The former Olympian's brother, Craig, told media "this is not Grant Hackett". "This is a completely different person. I don't know this person, my mum and dad don't know this person," Craig Hackett said in footage broadcast by Nine News. "He's there in body but he's not there in mind, soul or spirit." Mr Hackett won Olympic gold in the 1,500m freestyle in both 2000 and 2004 and had a long-standing rivalry with compatriot Ian Thorpe. The 10-times world champion returned to the pool last year to make an unsuccessful bid to qualify for the Rio Olympics. He was questioned by airport police in Melbourne last April after allegedly groping a passenger on a flight. He said he had been drinking in the wake of his Olympic disappointment and publicly apologised. Mr Hackett has previously struggled with prescription drug problems and admitted he became dependent on a sleep medication. The swimmer flew to the United States in 2014 to spend time in a rehab centre after he was spotted topless and disoriented in the lobby of a Melbourne casino. The 37-year-old was sent to the stands during the closing minutes of the 1-0 defeat at Ashton Gate on 27 September. He admitted a Football Association misconduct charge of "using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official". Monk will serve his ban in Saturday's Championship match at Derby. Whatever the reason, since time immemorial many have feared Fridays and thirteens. But why did the two fears come together to create a superstition with a life of its own, marked throughout the English-speaking world? Not for any mystical reasons, it seems. "From the astrological point of view there is no need to be concerned about Friday 13th ," says Robert Currey of Equinox Astrology. Dates and days of the week used to be closely related to planetary movements and phases of the moon in a system dating back to the Babylonians, he says, but that's not the case any more. Sonia Ducie is a numerology consultant who believes strongly in the innate energy of numbers - 13 is "all to do with transformation and change" she says, and she counts Friday as the fifth day, associated with movement. "You can see how with those two numbers together, it could be very restless," she says, but adds: "It's down to us; the energy's neutral." Why did the combined superstition arise, then? In 1907 a book called Friday, the Thirteenth was published, by a stock promoter called Thomas Lawson. It was the inspiration for the Friday 13th mythology which culminated in the lurid film and TV franchises starting in the 1980s. Lawson's book is a dark fable of Wall Street whose central character ruthlessly engineers booms and busts in the market to work revenge on his enemies, leaving misery and ruin in his wake. In it he takes advantage of the jitters which the date Friday 13th could be relied on to produce in the market traders. "Every man on the floor and in the Street as well has his eye on it. Friday, the 13th, would break the best bull market ever under way," one character says. So in 1907 fear of that date was already an established superstition. A quarter century before, it was not. The Thirteen Club, a gathering of jolly gents determined to defy all superstitions, first met on 13 September 1881 (a Wednesday) though it was formally organised on Friday, 13 January 1882. They met on the 13th of the month, sat 13 to a table, broke mirrors and spilled salt with exuberance and walked in to dinner under crossed ladders. The club's annual reports carefully noted how many of its members had died, and how many of these passed away within a year of attending a club dinner. It was founded by Captain William Fowler - of whom it was said that everyone associated him with "good fellowship, a big heart, and simple, unostentatious charity" - at his Knickerbocker Cottage restaurant on Manhattan's Sixth Avenue. As club marshal he "always gallantly and fearlessly led to the banqueting hall," reported the club's "chief ruler" Daniel Wolff. The New York Times reported that at the first meeting the 13th diner was late, and Fowler dragooned one of the waiters to make up the unlucky number: "Despite his howls he was… just being shoved through the ladders when the missing guest arrived." The first target of the club was the fear that if 13 people dined together one would soon die. But a second superstition soon followed. In April 1882 it adopted a resolution deploring the fact that Friday had "for many centuries past, been considered an unlucky day... on unreasonable grounds" and the club sent a call to the President, state governors and judges to stop picking on Friday as "hanging day" and hold executions on other days too. But of a joint Friday 13th superstition there is no sign at the club's foundation. It appeared some time between 1882 and the publication of Lawson's book in 1907. Could that be the club's own fault? It took every opportunity of bringing its two prime targets together to ridicule them, the Los Angeles Herald reported in 1895: "Whenever, during the past 13 years Friday has fallen on the 13th of the month this peculiar organisation has never failed to hold a special meeting for rejoicing." The club prided itself that it had put superstition in the spotlight. Its fame was great: the original 13 members had grown to hundreds by the turn of the century and similar clubs were founded in cities across the States. London's Thirteen Club had been founded by 1894, when a music hall song about it appeared. "Two of these vulgar superstitions you have combated resolutely and without flinching," club scribe Charles Sotheran wrote to the New York members in 1883, "namely the belief in 13 being an unlucky number, and Friday an unlucky day. You have created a popular sentiment in favour of them both." Sotheran must have meant "made Fridays and 13 less unpopular", but his sentence is ambiguous and it could just as well have meant "made the superstitions popular". So was it this interpretation which established the superstition in public opinion? The Thirteen Club's doctrine was "that superstition should be assailed and combated and driven off the earth". If instead it generated one of the most widespread and persistent superstitions of all, that was an unlucky accident indeed. The Iranian revolution put an end to the rule of the Shah, who had alienated powerful religious, political and popular forces with a programme of modernization and Westernization coupled with heavy repression of dissent. Persia, as Iran was known before 1935, was one of the greatest empires of the ancient world, and the country has long maintained a distinct cultural identity within the Islamic world by retaining its own language and adhering to the Shia interpretation of Islam. Population 75 million Area 1.65 million sq km (636,313 sq miles) Major language Persian Major religion Islam Life expectancy 71 years (men), 74 years (women) Currency rial Supreme Leader: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei The Supreme Leader - the highest power in the land - appoints the heads of the judiciary, military and media. He also confirms the election of the president. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was appointed for life in June 1989, succeeding Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic republic. He previously served two consecutive terms as president in the 1980s. Iran has been led by a highly conservative clerical elite since the revolution in 1979. President: Hassan Rouhani Hassan Rouhani was elected as president in June 2013, winning just over 50% of the vote. The cleric, regarded as a religious moderate, was backed by reformists. He says he wants to steer Iran towards "moderation" and one of his main election pledges was to try to ease the crippling international sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear programme. Sanctions were dropped early in 2016. The struggle for influence and power in Iran is played out in the media. All broadcasting from Iranian soil is controlled by the state and reflects official ideology. A wider range of opinion may be found online and in the printed press. However, many pro-reform outlets have been closed and their writers and editors imprisoned. Iran has been described by media freedom advocates as "among the five biggest prisons in the world" for journalists. Some key dates in Iran's history: 1794 - Mohammad Khan Qajar seizes power and founds the Qajar dynasty. 1921 - Military commander Reza Khan seizes power and is later crowned Reza Shah Pahlavi. 1941 - Britain and Russia occupy Iran during Second World War. 1953 - Coup engineered by British and US intelligence services after parliament nationalises mainly British-owned oil industry. Shah, who had fled into exile, returns. 1979 - Iranian revolution unseats the shah. 1980-1988 - Iran-Iraq war. 2002 - US President George W. Bush describes Iran, Iraq and North Korea as "the axis of evil". 2004 - US says Iran's nuclear programme is a growing threat and calls for international sanctions. 2016 - International economic sanctions are lifted after the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, confirms that Tehran had complied with its promises to scale back its nuclear activities.

It was started by a "weather bomb": the same low-pressure storm, off Greenland, which made UK headlines in late 2014. Tiny tremors, of two types, constantly criss-cross the deep Earth from storms. The slowest of these, the "S" wave, has never been traced to its source before and researchers say it opens up a new way to study the Earth's hidden depths. The findings appear in the journal Science. Weather-triggered waves in the fabric of our planet, known as "microseisms", happen whenever a storm at sea crashes waves together and those collisions send energy booming into the ocean floor. The energy then spreads through the Earth as two very faint types of wave: When an earthquake occurs, it radiates more violent versions of the same two waves. The P waves arrive first, and can be sensed by seismometers and some animals; the S waves arrive second and do the serious shaking. In the case of microseisms, both signals are faint but P waves have been more straightforward to study. Typhoons in the western Pacific, for example, generate signals that are routinely picked up by scientists in California. Key to finally picking up and pinpointing the more elusive S waves was deploying a big suite of detectors. Kiwamu Nishida from the University of Tokyo and Ryota Takagi of Tohoku University used a network of 202 stations in the Chugoku region of southern Japan. This high-density array allowed them to add up many measurements of the same very faint signals, and eventually trace their source all the way back to the north Atlantic. Peter Bromirski, from the University of California San Diego, was not involved in the research but co-wrote a commentary on it in the same issue of Science. He said that being able to detect both S and P waves from storms would open up more of the Earth to the prying ears of seismologists. "Most of what we know about the internal structure of the Earth has been determined from studying the way earthquake waves propagate, through the lower crust and the mantle and the core," Dr Bromirski told Science in Action on the BBC World Service. "In order to do that, you need to have a source that can generate a signal that propagates to your seismic stations. For some reason there are very few earthquakes in the mid Pacific... so we don't have any sources there. "These storm-generated P and S wave microseisms will hopefully allow us to better characterise the structure of the Earth below the Pacific." BBC iWonder: How often do forecasters actually get the UK weather right? UKIP has made a historic breakthrough in Westminster just a few months after winning a national election - for the European Parliament. It has shown it can win under the first-past-the-post voting system as well as under a proportional system. When Douglas Carswell takes his seat in the Commons next week he will serve not just as a permanent reminder of the prime minister's miscalculation but as a temptation to his old allies on the Tory benches to follow suit. That is why the Conservatives are so desperate for victory in the next by-election in Rochester triggered by another Tory MP who defected to UKIP. Ed Miliband cannot relish these Tory troubles. Although Labour held on to Heywood and Middleton, it did so with a vote share scarcely bigger than at the last election. That will do nothing to calm party nerves after a conference season that saw it go backwards. The question now - how far UKIP will go? No-one knows but what is beyond doubt is that it has already gone much much further than those who dismissed and insulted it ever thought possible. Mr Hagel, who arrived in the port of Qingdao from Japan, is thought to be the first senior Western official to board the vessel. China bought it from Ukraine in 1998 and has spent 10 years refitting it. It is seen as a potent symbol of China's ambition to modernise its navy, amid a strategic shift in the region. The fact that the US secretary of defence was allowed to step on board the carrier will be seen as a sign that the two countries may be willing to engage in more military co-operation, reports the BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing. Washington has repeatedly called for more transparency from Beijing on its military spending, our correspondent adds. US officials said that the defence chief's visit to the Liaoning at Yuchi naval base - which took place after a US request - lasted about two hours. No further details were immediately available and journalists accompanying him on the China visit did not go with him. The carrier was built in the 1980s for the Soviet navy but was never completed. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the rusting hull - then called the Varyag - sat in dockyards in Ukraine. A Chinese company with links to China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) then bought the Varyag, saying it wanted to turn the vessel into a floating casino in Macau. In 2001 the ship was towed to China. The Chinese military confirmed in June 2011 that it was being refitted to serve as the nation's first aircraft carrier. Earlier this year, it completed sea trials in the South China Sea, where China has overlapping territorial claims with several South East Asian nations. Beijing's more assertive stance on this issue in recent years has led to a rise in tensions between China and its neighbours, particularly Vietnam and the Philippines. China is also embroiled in a separate dispute over East China Sea islands that are controlled by Japan. In Tokyo, Mr Hagel addressed regional territorial disputes, saying Chinese authorities should have "respect for their neighbours". "You cannot... redefine boundaries and violate territorial integrity and sovereignty of nations by force, coercion and intimidation, whether it's in small islands in the Pacific or large nations in Europe," he said. The Liaoning aircraft carrier has already attracted controversy. Late last year, Mr Hagel criticised China as "irresponsible" after the near-collision of a US warship and a Chinese naval vessel in the South China Sea. The US said its guided missile cruiser, USS Cowpens, was operating in international waters on 5 December when the Chinese vessel - which was accompanying the Liaoning - forced it to take evasive action. State-run newspaper Global Times, however, quoted an expert as saying that the US boat had been "harassing" the Liaoning as it carried out drills. Six out of seven hospital trusts in the region with A&E departments have been judged either inadequate or requiring improvement. Prime Minister David Cameron admitted the record at Kent's Medway Maritime was "not good enough". Last year, the hospital had some of the worst A&E treatment times in England. The Gillingham hospital has been in special measures since July 2013. "That's why we sent in the turn-around team," said Mr Cameron. "Under this government, we have seen hospitals going into special measures when they have problems but coming out the other end with better management and better results." The leaders spoke to BBC South East about problems facing the NHS during campaigning visits to the region. Other hospitals under pressure include Eastbourne District General, which in March was judged inadequate by the Care Quality Commission. Green leader Natalie Bennett said her party was against concentrating specialist services on one site as had happened in Eastbourne and at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings. "People want services close to where they live," she said. "If you have a few big centralised centres you have both economic impacts and real impacts on communities that are losing services they need." Labour leader Ed Miliband said his party would fund 20,000 more nurses and 8,000 more doctors by raising £2.5bn from a mansion tax on properties above £2m and raising money from tobacco companies and hedge funds. "It is a real rescue plan," he said. "It is big money. The money will flow within months of a Labour government." Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said the NHS was under considerable pressure . "There are lots of complex reasons for that - the main one is we have lots of elderly folk who are spending much longer in hospital because of age-related conditions. "We need to make sure that when they are ready to be discharged there is a place in the community ready for them to be looked after." UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he wanted to change the way hospitals were run and managed by having elected boards. "We are not getting value for money," he said. "The other problem is that our population has risen massively over the last few years. "We how have fewer GPs per capita than any other country in Europe." Four schools were identified in an anonymous letter outlining plans to introduce more Islamic principles. The Dfe said it was looking into claims the so-called Operation Trojan Horse scheme had targeted twelve schools. Park View Education Trust, which runs three of the schools, has denied the allegations. Officials from Ofsted have visited Park View, Nansen Primary and Golden Hillock schools, which are all part of the trust. Park View governor Tahir Alam has denied any involvement in the letter and said it "maligned" his reputation. The Dfe said its own investigation into the claims was ongoing alongside Birmingham City Council's previously announced probe. A Dfe spokesperson it would "take firm action" if it found standards were not being met. "Where we become aware of issues of concern we will move quickly to resolve these," they added. Authorities have yet to determine if the letter, apparently sent from someone in Birmingham to a contact in Bradford, is genuine. The four-page document suggested methods for replacing senior staff and governors with people sympathetic to Islam. It claimed responsibility for leadership changes at Adderley Primary, Saltley School, Park View School and Regents Park Community Primary School. "The correspondent was concerned that children may be encouraged to play on railway tracks as a result of seeing the film," the BBFC's annual report reveals. The tear-jerking drama, directed by Lionel Jeffries, starred Bernard Cribbins, Dinah Sheridan, Jenny Agutter and Sally Thomsett. The report, published on Thursday, said the BBFC judged that it was "very unlikely" that The Railway Children would promote "such dangerous activity". "The Railway Children is set in the Edwardian period and trains and access to railway property are very different today," the censor said. "The film also demonstrates the potential harm to children if proper care is not taken." Based on the E Nesbit novel, it was filmed on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and chronicles the adventures of three children forced to move from London to Yorkshire when their father is imprisoned after being falsely accused of selling state secrets. Senior examiner Craig Lapper said the film had always been rated U - meaning suitable for all - but that the BBFC website now drew attention to the fact that the "playing on railway lines was in an archaic context". Hammer chiller The Woman in Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe, generated the most public feedback to the censor in 2012. A total of 134 cinema-goers complained to the BBFC that the film was "too dark and unsettling" for a 12A certificate. The film generated £21m in UK cinemas in 2012, making it the second most popular British film of 2012 after Skyfall. The Hunger Games, in which children and teenagers are forced to fight to the death on TV, generated 43 complaints about its violence and theme. The BBFC had classified the film 12A following edits to remove some violent detail. There were a "small number of complaints" criticising the decision to cut the film. The BBFC said: "These were mostly from young fans of the books who believed the film should remain intact and that any cuts to the violence would sanitise its impact." Men in Black 3 received 50 complaints for its language, violence, horror and sexual innuendo. The film was classified PG, as were the earlier two films in the franchise. In 2013, the most complaints have been about the violence in 12A-rated Tom Cruise action movie Jack Reacher. In 2012, the BBFC classified 850 films - the highest number since 1965. No film or video works were refused a classification. Other trends in 2012 included a 40% rise in the number of classifications of online-only material. BBFC director David Cooke said that while the internet downloads did not fall under BBFC's remit - but could be submitted voluntarily - it was "becoming clearer that both politicians and the public want us to play a role". The BBFC also backed government plans to change the rules on videos that are exempt from classification - such as music videos, documentaries and extreme fighting videos. "It's become apparent that some of those exemptions have enabled some very strong material," Mr Cooke said. Shakespeare's Globe and the Royal Opera House are among the contributors to the Shakespeare Lives portal. The channel will also host live content on Saturday, marking the actual date of William Shakespeare's 1616 demise. Tony Hall, the BBC's director general, said the initiative was "another step towards an open BBC". "Co-curated" by the BBC and the British Council, the Shakespeare Lives site will host content from the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), the British Film Institute (BFI) and other arts organisations. Offerings include the RSC's production of Richard II starring David Tennant, available to view online from 22:30 BST on Saturday, and Sir Ian McKellen discussing the challenges of interpreting Shakespeare for theatre, TV and cinema. The Shakespeare Day Live programme kicks off on Friday with a live broadcast of a commemorative concert in the Stratford-upon-Avon church where the Bard was baptised and buried. The line-up continues on Saturday with live broadcasts from Stratford-upon-Avon and in Birmingham, as well as from Shakespeare's Globe and the Royal Opera House in London. Other programmes, available on demand, include Simon Russell Beale and Adrian Lester talking about "Being Hamlet", and a short film about young Londoners, featuring Ralph Fiennes, that only uses Shakespeare's words. "This weekend we're experimenting live with digital formats like never before," said Lord Hall. "For the first time, the BBC will be showcasing the great talent we have in our leading cultural institutions on BBC iPlayer." The initiative follows a speech Lord Hall gave last year, in which he pledged the BBC would act like "a curator, bringing the best from Britain's great cultural institutions and thinkers to everyone." Staff at the capital's Maitiga airport told the BBC they have been ordered by immigration officials not to allow any Egyptians into the country until further notice. Dozens remain stranded at the airport. The Islamist-affiliated militias in control of Tripoli have accused Egypt of bombing their allies, who hold power in the eastern city of Benghazi. The BBC's Rana Jawad in Tripoli says that the decision to introduce visa restrictions is likely to be a politically motivated move to put pressure on Cairo. Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians live and work in Libya, and in recent weeks some have alleged that they have been intimidated by armed groups. Nearly 800 Egyptians arriving in Libya have been sent back since Thursday, officials said. Several passengers still stranded at Maitiga airport said they had valid visas but airport staff had told them they could not enter because Cairo was bombing Libya. Since the uprising in 2011, Libya has been gripped by a power struggle between the militias who drove out Muammar Gaddafi. The interim government, recognised internationally, has fled to the city of Tobruk because of unrest in Tripoli. However, Islamist-affiliated militias who control Tripoli and Benghazi have announced the formation of their own government. The scandal erupted less than two weeks after Michel Temer took over as the acting president of Brazil. The story dominates the top headlines of the country's major media outlets, with many newspapers devoting several articles to the latest revelation. Right-leaning newspaper O Globo leads with the headline "11 days later: Recording topples Juca, challenges Temer and alarms the PMDB", in reference to upheaval now facing the country's largest political party, the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), to which both the president and the minister belong. O Globo's online coverage takes a different approach and highlights interim President Temer's reaction to the scandal. The site features an editorial entitled "Temer's hour", which argues that Mr Temer's presidency is legitimate but that he would be better off removing Mr Juca from office permanently. Many see this latest revelation as a serious challenge for the interim president. Carolina Bahia, a columnist for newspaper Zero Hora, writes that "Michel Temer has hardly started to govern and already faces his first scandal" in a piece entitled "Juca is just the beginning". Centre-left publication Carta Capital takes the same view, with the headline "Juca: Understand the first crisis of Temer's government". The article notes that Mr Juca saw President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment as an opportunity to divert attention away from the massive corruption investigation dubbed Lava Jato, or Operation Car Wash. Folha de Sao Paulo, which first published news of the leaked recordings, also notes the link to Ms Rousseff's impeachment. In his weekly column for Folha, left-wing politician Marcelo Freixo says the recordings "show that the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff had nothing to do with combating corruption". Several publications feature Ms Rousseff's reaction to the leaked tapes. Centre-right daily Correio Braziliense writes "Dilma says the recording shows the need to remove her from post so as to stop the Lava Jato corruption investigation", in an article entitled "Juca's audio is evidence of a 'coup'". There has been no lack of reaction on social media over this latest revelation in Brazil's political drama, with Mr Juca remaining one of the top trends on Twitter in the hours following the leak. President Temer is also the focus of attention, and the hashtag #ForaTemer [Temer Out] is prominent amongst those who oppose the interim government. Other Twitter users are highlighting angles that they say the newspapers have missed, namely that members of the Supreme Court (STF) may have been aware of Mr Juca's plan. US journalist Glenn Greenwald, who is based in Brazil, tweets "Brazil's media keeps focusing on Juca's desire to end Lava Jato, ignoring his *way-more-important* conversations with military and STF judges".

As part of the pilot, all S4 pupils at St Paul's High School in Pollok were assessed before the programme began. About 40% showed high levels of anxiety and depression, well above the national average . This dropped to about 20% by the end of the programme which aims to intervene early to prevent longer-term problems. Across Scotland, one in 10 adults is currently being prescribed an antidepressant. Almost half of all adults with mental health problems developed them before they left school. During the pilot programme, teachers were trained in how to run the course and a night class was offered to parents and relatives. It was run by clinical psychologist Dr Jim White, who has delivered similar schemes for adults within the NHS. He said that he wanted to run a programme for teenagers in a bid to prevent more serious problems from developing in later life. "We were a bit surprised at just how many of the pupils were showing signs of difficulties with both anxiety and depression, about four out of 10 of them at the start of the programme. "Now by the end of the programme, we had halved that. "But when we followed them up nine months later we were seeing that they were still continuing to improve, so there was a suggestion that the pupils had learned all about stress management and in the months after the class had put it into practice." Dr White said if early intervention was not taken, there could be "life-long consequences". He added: "If we are able to get in quickly, then we might be able to stop those quite significant problems." St Paul's plans to continue and develop the pilot because they believe it has been so successful. Glasgow City Council said it planned to see if other schools could benefit. A spokeswoman said: "We are keen to evaluate the results from the pilot with a view to seeing what other schools could benefit." Lauren Mcghee is just 16 but says she has struggled in the past to deal with stress. "Leading up to my exams, I get very stressed," she says. "Physically it affects me. I get very nervous and panicky. Sometimes I have even ended up in hospital. "Last year at prelims time my foot got very sore. I wasn't actually able to walk. "My mum took me to hospital. They said the pain was unexplained but that they believed it was related to stress. "Every time I get stressed I can feel the symptoms coming on. They said it is almost like gout because my stress levels are so high." Lauren says young people have to deal with increasing pressures. "With homework you have so many subjects and so many things due for certain days," she says. "And as a teenage girl especially you have to look a certain way and have perfect hair and a tan and a nice body. "If you're on one social media you have to have all the profiles. "Everybody has to see everything you are doing all the time. "You have got to say so much to keep up with all of them so you're telling people things you maybe wouldn't normally about where you're going and what you're doing all the time. "But it's like constant. And everybody's got an insight into your life. And you've got to because everyone else is doing it." The 22 local authorities are putting up bills by an average of 4.2%. Services are facing severe cutbacks in many parts of the country with increases in council tax being used to help relieve some of the pressure. Budget decisions by community councils and the police could see the bill increase even further. Local authorities have been meeting to set their budgets over the past few weeks. Last year two councils managed to freeze their council tax. This year all councils are putting up the tax by at least 3%. Swansea, Ceredigion and Conwy are opting for the maximum rise the Welsh government allows before imposing a cap. Other councils are also close to the limit. The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) has blamed an "extremely difficult" set of circumstances. It said public spending had been cut in Westminster, but Welsh councils were also paying the price for a decision by the Welsh government to spend more on the NHS. WLGA finance spokesman Aaron Shotton, from Flintshire council, said: "While changes to local council tax rates are expected to raise around £48m to help protect local public services, councils are also having to make a number of tough decisions on what further cost saving measures can be taken to address a total budget shortfall of around £290m that they have been left to manage in 2014-15. "While councils are doing everything they can to avoid placing any additional financial burdens on their local communities, UK and Welsh government funding decisions have left councils in Wales with a significant shortfall in the finances that they have available for the coming year. "In such dire economic circumstances, it was inevitable that council tax bills would have to rise in order for councils to meet the costs involved in delivering vital public services." WLGA leader Bob Wellington said no local government leader entered office to make cuts or place financial burdens on the communities that they served. Nathan Gill said claims he had failed to represent rank-and-file members were "nonsense". He refused to quit in the run-up to May's election, with pollsters tipping UKIP to win its first Senedd seats. Mr Gill also said he was determined to campaign in the EU referendum - "the whole reason why I joined UKIP". "I can't give up at the last hurdle," he told BBC Wales Today. Four UKIP general election candidates have said Mr Gill should stand down because of a row over the party's regional list candidates for May's election. Some activists complained that former Tory MPs Neil Hamilton and Mark Reckless were set to be imposed as candidates by the party centrally. UKIP's National Executive Committee (NEC) has said it will give party members the final say over the ranking of regional candidates. The NEC had met three times in three weeks to agree the selection process "because I stood firm about what I knew we needed for Wales", Mr Gill said. He added: "I know the quality of the people that we've got, the passionate membership, the capability that we have, and I've stood up for them. "And maybe some of the members haven't seen that because it's happened behind closed doors, but I've stood up for Wales." He refused to be drawn on whether he wanted Mr Hamilton to stand for UKIP, saying it was up to members to decide. Mr Gill - a Euro-MP who wants to stand in the north Wales region for the assembly - was appointed as UKIP's Welsh leader by Nigel Farage in 2014. He said: "There are people who obviously don't like me and there are people who do like me. "But I think the people who back me by far outweigh those who don't." Some of his critics had spoken out "for personal reasons" after changing their minds about whether they wanted to be candidates, he said. Kightly made 88 appearances for Burnley after joining from Stoke in September 2013, but ended last season on loan at Championship side Burton Albion. The 31-year-old played for Southend between 2003 and 2005, featuring in 19 games for the League One club. He is the Shrimpers' second signing this summer, following the arrival of left-back Stephen Hendrie. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The US tech giant sold 40.4 million iPhones in its third quarter, slightly above forecasts of 40.02 million. Apple chief executive Tim Cook said the results reflected "stronger customer demand... than we anticipated". The firm said it expected sales to fall again in the fourth quarter to between $45.5bn (£34bn; €41.4bn) and $47.5bn. Demand for Apple's flagship product has been slowing since the second quarter when the firm reported the first drop in iPhone sales since their 2007 launch. The iPhone makes up for around two-thirds of Apple's sales and accounts for even more of its profits. The slowdown in iPhone sales sent profit down 27% to $7.8bn in the three months to 25 June, while revenues fell 14.6% to $42.4bn. Apple's sales in Greater China - defined by the company as China, Hong Kong and Taiwan - plunged 33%. The firm blamed economic uncertainty and people not upgrading their phones as often for the drop. China accounts for almost a quarter of Apple's sales, more than all of Europe combined. "It is very clear that there are some signs of economic slowdown in China, and we will have to work through them. "We understand China well and we remain very, very optimistic about the future there," said Apple chief financial officer Luca Maestri. Results were also hit by the impact of a stronger dollar. Nonetheless, shares, which have fallen almost 20% over the past year, rose over 7% in after-hours trading because the firm's overall performance was not as bad as analysts had expected. Mr Maestri said comparisons to the second quarter last year, when iPhone 6 sales surged 35%, made its performance seem worse than it was. He also pointed to its services business, which includes the App Store, Apple Pay, iCloud and other services, as a bright spot. The division made nearly $6bn in revenue, up 18.9% from the same time last year, and is now the firm's second-largest sales generator after the iPhone. The shift is good news for the firm because it allows it to make more money from its existing users. The 51-year-old ex-Everton, Manchester City and Bradford City winger punched Zarah Blake while angry and drunk, his trial heard. Beagrie, of Killinghall, North Yorkshire, was sentenced to a 12-month community order on Tuesday. He said he intended to appeal against his conviction. In a statement following the hearing at Skipton Magistrates Court, Beagrie said: "I am innocent, something I have maintained from the outset; that is why the verdict was so devastating. "I will be appealing." He said he was still with Ms Blake, adding: "This has been an upsetting and traumatic time for us and we both feel there is no other alternative but to appeal." The court heard he punched his partner during an argument in Harrogate in April. A Sky Sports spokesman said: "When we first became aware of the charge, we removed Peter from our coverage pending his case. "Following the outcome we have terminated his contract with immediate effect." It had previously said letting people download shows added too much "complexity" to its experience. Other video apps such as BBC iPlayer, All 4 and Amazon Prime Video already let viewers watch content when offline. Netflix said some of its original programmes were already available to download and more would be made available in the future. "It's surprising because just weeks ago they said it wasn't going to happen," said Tom Harrington from the consultancy Enders Analysis. "You can understand why they wouldn't want to do it because it opens up a whole pot of rights issues. Offering a download service will cost Netflix more. "But everyone else is already doing it. Amazon is doing it, Sky has been doing something similar with Sky Q. Netflix doesn't want to be left behind, or compared unfavourably to rivals." Requiem Mass is being held in St Malachy's Church on Main Street. The church is directly opposite her father's butcher's shop, and the flat above it where the fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday morning. Her friends and teachers from Assumption Grammar, Ballynahinch, are among the many mourners. Ellen had been due to sit her A-Level exams at the County Down school and had just been offered at the University of Liverpool. The priest who led the funeral service, Fr Sean Cahill, told mourners: "Our memories of Ellen will always be of one young and vibrant. "Her classmates, friends and teachers speak of her as lighting up any classroom she entered." He said Ellen had an enthusiasm for sport and played camogie, football and ran cross-country. She also played the drums and was a member of a folk choir. The teenager died on the third anniversary of her mother's death. Fr Cahill asked God to "lead her safely home to be with her mother, Nicola". After the service, Ellen will be laid to rest in the family burial ground in Aughlisnafin. Abertawe Bro Morgannwg health board has agreed to boost pay rates by up to £1,900 for workers at Morriston, Neath Port Talbot and Princess of Wales hospitals. Unison said it showed what "people power can achieve". The health board has been contacted for comment. It follows a day of strike action in January, with staff calling for "pay parity with colleagues doing the same job in other hospitals in Wales". Unison said staff were worse off by between £466 and £1,879 each year, depending on their length of service in the post. A second strike planned for February was called off to allow "further discussion of the health board's latest offer". Mark Turner, Unison organiser for the health board, said: "These healthcare workers just wanted to be paid what they deserve. "We were able to show that they were paid far less than peers doing exactly the same job with the same responsibilities elsewhere in Wales." Maurice Blair crossed for the visitors in the first minute before Jake Webster and Ryan Hampshire put Cas ahead. Minns, Albert Kelly and Graeme Horne helped Rovers take the lead but Jy Hitchcox reduced the deficit. Rovers reached 11 tries as Ken Sio and Iain Thornley scored twice, Minns added two more and Mitchell Allgood got one. A third Super League win for Hull KR this term moved them into 10th place above Leeds, while Castleford remain seventh. The Robins entered into the match off the back of a 22-36 defeat by Championship side Oldham Roughyeds in the Challenge Cup, but produced an emphatic performance. Both sides had players sin-binned when Paul McShane and Shaun Lunt clashed off the ball, but Rovers' score of 38-0 in the second-half showed their dominance. Castleford head coach Daryl Powell: "I thought Hull were excellent right from the start. They beat us in every department but it was clearly unacceptable in our approach and things have to change quickly. "We spoke about our home form but that was embarrassing. It was just ridiculous. "It's not what we stand for and there is a lot of work to be done before next week's home game with St Helens. "The more we went after it, the worse we got." Hull KR interim head coach James Webster: "It's been a tough week mentally and physically. A lot of things were said and we spoke during the week. "It's easy to say stuff to make you feel better but it is another thing going out doing it against a good team away from home. "We knew the proof would be in the pudding but we were good enough for long enough to get the job done. I am proud of the players. "But while it was fantastic what we turned out today, it's frustrating we can't do it every week - that's our challenge now." Castleford: Solomona, Monaghan, Minikin, Webster, Hitchcox, Hampshire, Gale, Lynch, Milner, Jewitt, Millington, McMeeken, Massey. Replacements: McShane, Patrick, Cook, Moors. Hull KR: Cockayne, Sio, Minns, Thornley, Wardill, Blair, Kelly, Tilse, Lunt, Mulhern, Clarkson, Horne, Allgood. Replacements: Boudebza, Donaldson, Green, Walker. Attendance: 7,106. Referee: Ben Thaler. Police and the emergency services were called to the scene near Cadham at about 17:40. The boy, who was hit by a black Vauxhall Corsa, was taken to the Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy but he died later from his injuries. The road was closed while officers carried out crash investigations. The police are appealing for witnesses. Insp Brenda Sinclair, of Police Scotland, said: "Tragically this collision has resulted in the loss of a young boy's life and our thoughts are with his family at this harrowing time. "We are appealing for any drivers or pedestrians who may have been on the A92 at the time of the collision to come forward and help establish the full circumstances of the incident." Second-half goals from Josh Skelly and Steven Doris gave the visitors victory over bottom placed Cowden. Berwick Rangers slipped to second bottom after losing 3-1 to Annan Athletic while Montrose and Stirling Albion drew 2-2. Leaders Forfar host fourth-placed Clyde on Boxing Day. It was 0-0 until the 74th minute at Cowdenbeath when Skelly stroked home the opener and Doris made sure of the points three minutes later when he converted a Skelly set piece. Annan bounced back from two straight defeats with David McKenna's early strike giving them the lead against Berwick, only for Patrick Scullion to reply for the visitors. However, Peter Watson's header and Rabin Omar's shot - both before half-time - gave Annan the three points. A first-half own goal from Andrew Steeves gave Stirling the lead at Links Park but headers by Terry Masson and Gary Fraser - the first set up by Steeves - turned the match in Montrose's favour. However, Ross Smith nodded Albion level and they had Angus Beith sent off deep into stoppage time for foul and abusive language. Stirling and Berwick are two points above Cowdenbeath. The 26-year-old from Leeds claimed gold in the T37 women's 100m, and T35-38 4x100m relay at the 2015 World Championships in Doha. Cox appealed for help on Twitter after leaving the medals in her car in Bury, while filming in London on 8 June. She tweeted that they had now been handed into the police. Cox said: "Thank you so much to every single person that shared and retweeted my post... my medals got handed into the police this morning #happykad." More stories from across Yorkshire Cox became the first British athlete since 1988 to win a medal in two sports at the same Games, in Rio last summer. She is prioritising athletics over cycling this year, seeking to add to her medal haul at the World Para Athletics Championships in London next month. Cox had a stroke aged 23 and was later diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As well as the gold medals she took athletics silver in the 4x100m relay and bronze in the 100m, and was picked to be Britain's flag-bearer at the Rio closing ceremony. In dramatic footage of the crash, sustained gunfire can be heard before the helicopter drops from the sky like a stone, narrowly missing a main road. The helicopter was giving support to a police operation against gangs in the favela, according to police. There had been several clashes during the day between police and criminal gangs operating in the area. Firefighters removed the bodies of the victims from the wreckage, which could be seen in the footage crumpled and smoking. A police spokesman said that forensics officers were examining the wreckage to determine the cause of the crash. If the helicopter was shot down by gang members, it would not be a first for the city, which hosted the 2016 Olympics. In 2009, drug traffickers opened fire on a police helicopter, causing it to explode and crash land on a football pitch, killing both pilots. Violence has been on the rise in Rio over the past two years following the failure of a 2010 programme to rid the favelas of drug gangs. A total of 3,649 murders were reported in 2016 up until the end of September, a rise of almost 18% on the same period last year. Avijit Roy, an atheist who advocated secularism, was attacked as he walked back from a book fair with his wife, who was also hurt in the attack. No-one has been arrested but police say they are investigating a local Islamist group that praised the killing. Hundreds of people gathered in Dhaka to mourn the blogger's death. Mr Roy's family say he received threats after publishing articles promoting secular views, science and social issues on his Bengali-language blog, Mukto-mona (Free Mind). He defended atheism in a recent Facebook post, calling it a "rational concept to oppose any unscientific and irrational belief". His Mukto-mona website on Friday bore the message in Bengali "we are grieving but we shall overcome" against a black background. US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki described it as an assault on Bangladesh's proud tradition of free intellectual and religious speech. A group of men ambushed the couple, who live in the US and were visiting Dhaka only to attend the book festival, as they walked toward a roadside tea stall. At least two of the attackers hit the couple with meat cleavers in the attack on Thursday evening, police chief Sirajul Islam told AP news agency. Dropping their weapons, the attackers ran away, disappearing into the crowds. Police told the BBC they were investigating a local hard-line religious group that had praised the killing in an online message. Ajay Roy, father of the dead man, urged the authorities to find the killers and "ensure exemplary punishment". "This Bangladesh which was built by the blood-sacrifice of the martyrs has now turned into a den of militants," he said. Students, teachers and bloggers gathered at Dhaka University on Friday to protest against the killing. In a forthcoming article to be published in the Free Inquiry magazine of April-May 2015, Mr Roy likens religious extremism to a "highly contagious virus". He says he received threats from Islamist hardliners in Bangladesh last year when his book, The Virus of Faith, was released at a book fair. "The death threats started flowing to my e-mail inbox on a regular basis," he writes. "I suddenly found myself a target of militant Islamists and terrorists. A well-known extremist... openly issued death threats to me through his numerous Facebook entries. "In one widely circulated status, he writes, 'Avijit Roy lives in America and so, it is not possible to kill him right now. But he will be murdered when he comes back.'" The killing in early 2013 of another secular blogger, Ahmed Rajib Haider, which was blamed on religious hardliners, sparked protests from free-speech supporters and counter-protests from Islamists. The police say the attack on Mr Roy was similar to the 2013 murder. Avijit Roy Death threats against atheist writers and bloggers are nothing new in Bangladesh. Prominent writer Taslima Nasreen had to leave Bangladesh after she received death threats from hard-line Islamists in the mid-1990s. She wrote on her blog: "Avijit Roy has been killed the way other free thinker writers were killed in Bangladesh. No free thinker is safe in Bangladesh. "Islamic terrorists can do whatever they like. They can kill people with no qualms whatsoever." Injury-plagued Ogogo beat Gary Cooper in only his second fight in 22 months. "On the way home I was buzzing but my mates were very tired and all fell asleep, so I drove pretty much all the way home from Glasgow," said Ogogo, 27. "I didn't get home until 7:30. One of my mates is a very good runner and asked me to go for a run, so I said 'go on then' and went for an hour's run." He continued to BBC Radio Suffolk: "All my fights before, I've been struggling the next few days because of injuries going into the fight, whereas now I feel 100% and I can't wait to get back into the ring." After winning his first seven professional fights, Ogogo missed a year with an Achilles injury and made his comeback last July against Ruslan Schelev, when he suffered a dislocated shoulder that kept him out for 10 months. Ogogo, an Olympic bronze medallist at London 2012, beat Cooper in three rounds on the undercard of the WBA world super-lightweight title fight between Ricky Burns and Michele di Rocco. And he hopes to fight on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's IBF world heavyweight title defence on 25 June. "Because I've missed so much time in the past, now it's all about being very active for me," continued Ogogo. "If I can box every four to six weeks, I will. If I can build that momentum it won't be very long before I'm challenging for domestic titles, European and world titles." The creatures were carried along flood-swollen rivers, say the authorities. "There is now a hippopotamus in [my] house," Benue state resident Wuese Jirake told the BBC. "I hope that when it is tired, it may leave my home." Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by the flooding. Hundreds also died in the worst flooding in decades. Vast tracts of farmland have been completely destroyed. Mr Jirake told the BBC he had returned to his home to find it occupied by the hippo. "This morning I visited my house. It is still inundated with the flood waters above my waist. There is now a hippopotamus in the house," he said. He said he had reported the situation to the authorities. "I hope that when it is tired, it may leave my home. If there is any other way of dealing with the problem, the authorities need to pursue that because it is beyond my abilities." Similar situations have been reported in the towns of Makurdi, Agatu, Logo and Adoka, says the BBC's Is'haq Khalid. Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency says it is working hand in hand with the Benue state government and other relevant agencies to ensure the flood victims return to their homes. The co-ordinator of the agency in north-central Nigeria, Abdussalam Muhammad, told the BBC that it was not safe for people to go back to their houses because of the presence of the dangerous animals. "Presently there are crocodiles and snakes as well as other dangerous animals brought in by the floodwaters that are living in those houses, so, if the people return, it will be harmful to them and they will put their lives at risk," he said. He said people should wait for instructions after the floodwaters have subsided. But for women behind the camera, it takes a lot more to get noticed. Female nominations for technical work are rare - blink and you can miss them. From the outside, it looks like a man's world - but is that how it feels? Three women - two of them 2016 Oscar winners - tell us what it's really like. Oscars 2017: Full coverage "I loved film growing up - I watched a lot of horror and I loved prosthetics, so my natural thought was to get into that," says Sara Bennett, who won an Oscar for her work on 2015 sci-fi drama Ex Machina. The film brought to life the female robot Ava, played by Alicia Vikander, whose body had humanoid features but with a transparent skull, limbs and torso. As the first female VFX supervisor to win an Oscar, Sara broke new ground at 2016's ceremony. It was only the third time in 89 years that a woman had been nominated for visual effects. The last winner? Suzanne Benson for Aliens - back in 1987. Despite being such rarity, Sara says she's never felt outnumbered. "Until last year's Oscar nomination, I'd never really thought about it being male-dominated," she says. "The hard time for me was learning the craft and moving up, as opposed to dealing with men in my industry." She grins. "Being a woman probably went in my favour, to be honest." Sara, whose back catalogue includes Sherlock, The Martian and the first four Harry Potter films, says she loves the variety her work gives her. Her passion for her work is infectious, and she says it was "amazing" winning the Oscar - she couldn't quite believe it when her name was read out. But she also mixes it up by managing a team, mentoring young women and leading children's workshops. Having trained in prosthetics and make-up, she became a runner during the 1990s, working as a general assistant on film sets before switching to VFX. As a compositor, she learned how to combine several visual elements into a believable on-screen image, gaining her first credit in 1998 for Babe, Pig in the City. Although aspiring VFX specialists can now learn through YouTube tutorials, software and courses, Sara's adamant that the best experience is found in the workplace. "Until you're working flat out and your eyes are bleeding at four in the morning, that horrible feeling - that's when you really learn about the job," she laughs, talking about the pressures of working to tight deadlines. Three years ago she set up London and Cardiff-based visual effects company Milk with four male colleagues, after their section in another VFX studio, The Mill, was closed down. Sara now sees more women moving through the ranks, and says with delight: "When I was younger it was about 80/20 men to women in VFX, but now it's closer to 60/40." But even if more women want creative positions in the film industry, they're not at the top table just yet. Research from the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film says women made up just 17% of "behind-the-scenes employment" on the top 100, 250 and 500 films of 2016. The study, The Celluloid Ceiling, states this is a drop of two percentage points on 2015, putting the figures on a par with 1998. These statistics, combined with this year's all-male VFX Oscar nominations, make those rare female wins look even more stark. So when's this going to change? Sara says it will take a while. "There's so many women doing VFX. Maybe they're not doing the big A-List films, but they're out there doing it all." Fie Tholander, 31, has been inspired by Sara, working for her as a VFX compositor at Milk. "I've always been drawn to magic, to fairy tale stories," she says, citing David Bowie fantasy drama Labyrinth (1986) as an inspiration. She's single-mindedly pursued her career since she was 15 and is now creating aliens for the upcoming Doctor Who series. She also worked on the brains in jars with eyeballs which featured in last year's Christmas special. As a Danish high school student, she already knew she wanted to work in VFX, studying art at Animation Workshop before heading for London, with an internship at The Mill. It was there that she met Sara, who became her mentor. "Having Sara as a role model makes women realise they can actually do it," she says. "VFX is portrayed as a technical thing, which isn't always the case. I'm not a technical person, I'm more creative." Fie thinks women need to be more assertive: "I think women in general hold back, we're afraid to ask, and men are a bit more bold with their careers." Has she ever hit a glass, even a celluloid, ceiling? Nope. "Sexism isn't something I've come across. If I want something I have to ask for it - no one will give it to me." But Fie does think the industry's progressing, with more women applying to work in her profession. She's also convinced that the film world is changing. "With all the movies coming out, we're getting female role models who aren't princesses, which is great." Recent films such as Arrival have seen Amy Adams star as an expert linguist communicating with aliens, while Star Wars movie Rogue One has Felicity Jones as its lead. But it's not just VFX and sci-fi where women are breaking through. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, 37, made history last year as Pakistan's only double Oscar winner. She won her second best documentary Oscar for A Girl in the River - The Price of Forgiveness, about honour killings in Pakistan. Her first, in 2012, was for Saving Face, about a plastic surgeon treating those scarred by acid attacks. Starting out as a print journalist in Pakistan, Sharmeen decided aged 21 to switch to documentaries, so she could tell her stories visually. She pitched her first film proposal to about 80 global organisations. "I was pretty much turned down by everyone," she says. "But I've always believed that if a door doesn't open for you, it's because you haven't knocked hard enough." Undeterred, she asked the New York Times, who'd just set up a TV unit. They agreed to fund her first film, about Afghan refugee children on the streets of Pakistan. Her career went upwards from there - she's also won two Emmys (in 2010 and 2013) and the Hilal-e-Imtiaz (Crescent of Distinction), Pakistan's second-highest civilian award. For Sharmeen, her Oscar wins made a huge difference. "It amplifies your voice and the voices of all of those people you are making a film about. "After A Girl in the River, there was legislation about honour killing installed in Parliament in Pakistan. The win at the Oscars gave it the final push it needed to get it passed." She deliberately multi-tasks by producing and directing because "it allows me the freedom to tell the type of stories I want to tell". "I've always said that making a film is like having a baby. You have a long period of time where something is inside of you, and when you send it out into the world, you want the world to appreciate it." Well aware of the high numbers of men working in the film industry, she says she's at an advantage in her field. "Whereas Hollywood will tell you fewer women are getting the opportunities to be directors or play key roles in film, in documentary work, women in greater numbers are coming up behind the camera, winning Academy Awards." And for her, being a female filmmaker is an "asset". "I've been able to get into places where a man would seldom be able to get into," she says. "If I was a man perhaps I wouldn't be standing here today. I'm looked upon as less of a threat because I'm a woman." Sharmeen is keen to see more young women working in film, and tells them: "You always need to believe in yourself. You need to go out and kick open those doors and you should never take no for an answer. Anything is possible. "Chase your dreams and you never know, you may find yourself up on stage telling the stories you want to tell - and getting an accolade for it." Sara's words of advice are all about being resilient. She adds: "If you get knocked back just get back up again - keep trying, make sure you enjoy it, put a big smile on your face - don't give up."

The 25-year-old, who came through the club's academy and made his first-team debut in 2011, sustained the injury in the 29-26 win over Sale on 7 January. Meanwhile, fly-half Nick Evans will be out for a month with a fractured wrist suffered in the same match. The pair add to Quins' injury list, which includes England internationals Joe Marler and Chris Robshaw. Prop Marler is out for up to five weeks with a broken leg, while flanker Robshaw should return from a shoulder injury at the end of March. Loosehead Mark Lambert remains out until mid-February, while centre George Lowe (back) is sidelined for another six weeks. Sam Twomey (foot) and Harry Sloan are long-term absentees. Australia lock James Horwill is expected to return from injury for the European Challenge Cup game against Stade Francais on 22 January. Clare Cunningham secured a one-two finish for Great Britain with silver in the women's PT4 in Hyde Park. "I was a bit disappointed with the swim, but the bike and run went well," Steadman said. Melissa Read won GB's second gold of the event, edging out Joleen Hakker of the Netherlands in the women's PT5. Steadman, 22, crossed the line in one hour nine minutes 26 seconds, almost five minutes ahead of Cunningham. "I like the course and I had a lot of family here today and I could see them on the side, so it was quite nice," Steadman added. The opposition has been calling for his resignation over allegations that his wife owned an offshore company in Panama. Mr Muscat and his wife, Michelle, deny the claims. A magisterial inquiry is under way. He said "truth is on my side" but that he wanted to protect Malta from uncertainty. The current scandal erupted earlier this month when the blogger Daphne Caruna Galizia made the claims, which she based on documents from the so-called Panama Papers, a leak of millions of files from the offshore law firm Mossack Fonseca. Panama Papers: What happened next? Panama Papers: What is the scandal about? How assets are hidden and taxes dodged "Everybody knows about the attacks made in the past few days on me and my family. I have nothing to fear because truth is on my side and I am clean," Mr Muscat said on Monday. "My duty, however, is not just to protect myself but also to safeguard my country... We cannot allow uncertainty to slow the rhythm of Malta's economic miracle," he said. The country is enjoying record low unemployment and economic growth of more than 3.5 percent. But anti-corruption protesters took to the streets against Mr Muscat's government last week. Opposition leader Simon Busuttil said on Monday that Mr Muscat was "the dirty past of four corrupt years," local media reported. The Panama Papers last year revealed that both Malta's energy minister and the government's chief of staff had opened offshore companies in Panama. Malta currently holds the rotating presidency of the European Union. Their use is one of the recommendations in an independent report commissioned by Brighton and Hove City Council. The aim would be to reduce drug-related deaths in a city described as having had "a drug abuse problem for decades". But critics said the move could amount to colluding with poor lifestyle choices, or even illegal behaviour. Sussex Police welcomed the report but emphasised the importance of a "holistic approach" to illegal drugs. The research by the Independent Drugs Commission for Brighton and Hove proposes providing consumption rooms - often referred to as shooting galleries - where people could use their own illegal drugs under the supervision of professional healthcare workers. They would provide medical care if required. The intention is to reduce the risk of overdoses and other drug-related deaths, as well as decreasing the amount of drug-taking on the streets of Brighton. It also suggests making Naloxone, a prescription drug which can prevent fatal overdoses, directly available to users. Services for young drug takers should also be separated, according to the report, to prevent them mixing with older, more established users. Mike Trace, vice-chairman of the commission, told BBC Radio 4's Today: "We have said to the authorities in Brighton that you need to look at this because it's something that could reduce drug-related deaths - which is an issue in the city - but also because it could take a lot of public drug use and drug markets off the street." He said there were various models that could be adopted - for example drugs provided by medical professionals, or users buying illegal drugs and using them in the rooms. However, there was a "grey area" over whether a law change would be required for this sort of service, he said. Councillor Rob Jarrett, chairman of the council's adult care and health committee, said the area had had a problem with drug abuse "for decades" and the council would take the recommendations "very seriously". But Chip Somers, chief executive of Focus 12, an abstinence-based rehabilitation centre, told the Today Programme: "We've got the balance between providing addicts with care and harm reduction techniques completely out of proportion and we're now colluding with really quite poor lifestyle choice and in this case illegal behaviour." The potential cost of any such project has not been revealed - but Mr Somers said it would be "very expensive" and "for that sort of money you could put 40 or 50 people through a complete rehabilitation project". Nic Newman, a recovering addict, warned there could be a risk that addicts would be encouraged to use drugs more than they would have otherwise. "Some people might take more risks if [they are] in a clinic with a managed room. With nurses on hand I can push the boundaries a bit more, can't I?" he told BBC Breakfast. The commission consists of 10 local experts - including Kate McKenzie, mother of recovering drug addict Hannah McKenzie - who have been working over the past year on recommendations to reduce the dangers of drugs in Brighton. More than 60,000 people in Brighton and Hove, which has a population of just over 270,000, have used drugs, according to the commission. They include more than 2,000 problem heroin and cocaine users. For several years Brighton had more drug-related deaths than any other city in the UK - in 2000, 67 residents died from drug misuse. In 2011, Brighton saw 22 drug-related deaths - nine per 100,000 people over the age of 16 - making it eighth in the table of UK drug-related deaths. Ch Supt Nev Kemp, divisional commander for Brighton and Hove, welcomed the report, adding the recommendations would be discussed. Decriminalised consumption rooms are in use in Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Norway, Switzerland, Canada and Australia. In the UK, King's College London is carrying out a study on administering diamorphine (medical-grade heroin) to addicts to reduce heroin use. In Vancouver, a facility named Insite allows users to take their own drugs in a supervised environment. It has operated since 2003 under a constitutional exemption from Canadian drug laws. The project was started by campaigners upset at what they call the president's "ignorance" on climate science. Trump Forest allows people either to plant locally or pay for trees in a number of poorer countries. Mr Trump says staying in the climate pact will damage the US economy, cost jobs and give a competitive advantage to countries such as India and China. The organisers say they need to plant an area the size of Kentucky to offset the Trump effect. Based in New Zealand, the project began in March this year and so far has gained pledges from around 450 people based all around the world. In the first month, 15,000 trees were pledged - that's now gone past 120,000. Some people have paid for trees to be planted in forest restoration projects in Madagascar, Haiti, Ethiopia, and Nepal. Others have simply bought and planted a tree themselves and sent a copy of the receipt to the project. The organisers, who are long-term climate campaigners, say they have tapped into a global sense of frustration with the president's climate change policies. Mr Trump has ordered a review of Obama-era climate regulations and he has also declared that the US will leave the Paris climate agreement. "We've met some of the people on the front lines of climate change in Bangladesh, Mongolia and in other countries, and we found it extremely upsetting that Mr Trump's ignorance is so profound," said Adrien Taylor, a co-founder of Trump Forest. "So we started to do something about it. Only a small percentage of the world voted him in, but we all have to deal with the consequences of his climate ignorance." The organisers estimate that they will need to offset 650 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2025 to compensate for the president's policies, which translates into more than 100 billion new trees. Despite the massive scale of planting needed, the campaigners believe it can be done. "We want to plant a global forest that will offset all of the emissions that the Trump administration puts in the atmosphere. It sounds a bit ridiculous but it is completely feasible," said Dr Daniel Price, another co-founder. While there has been much support, the organisers say they have also had "a bit of hate mail" from people who support the president's policies. However, they have also had some grumbling from people who say that calling the idea Trump Forest is simply stroking the president's ego. "We kind of want him to love the forest; this is his forest after all. We would love it if he tweeted about it," said Mr Taylor. "All we're trying to do is pick up the slack he has created and do the work for him," said Dr Price. "So if he wants to take ownership of this forest just like Trump vodka and Trump Tower, we would welcome that; the phone line is open. So, Mr President, if you are reading this..."

The feasibility report, commissioned by the charity Crisis, looked at piloting the Housing First support system aimed at reducing homelessness. Finding people a home "improves well-being" and is more cost-effective than hostel placements, it said. LCR Mayor Steve Rotheram said it could "change how we tackle homelessness". The study, funded by the UK government and the charity Housing First, said the "current system is failing some of the most vulnerable homeless people, who often struggle with the rules and conditions, stress, and lack of security in hostels". It said they needed "higher levels of support as a result of poor mental health, substance misuse, physical or learning disabilities or a history of offending". Adopting the Housing First scheme could save LCR between £1.18m and £4.02m annually by 2023/24, the report claims. It estimated LCR - which includes Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens, Wirral and the Cheshire borough of Halton - would have to spend about £12,600 per user annually if implemented. The study by the charity Crisis and others found that in April this year more than 500 people in the Liverpool city region had been using homeless services for a year. Of these, 15-20 were considered long-term rough sleepers in Liverpool itself, the council said. Jon Sparkes, chief executive of Crisis, said: "For the most vulnerable rough sleepers, the best approach is to support people into a stable home of their own as soon as possible and shape personalised support around them." Along with LCR mayor Steve Rotheram, he called on the UK government to consider the "radical new approach", which has been used in Scotland, Denmark, Finland, France, Canada and the US. Mr Rotheram said: "I recognise the enormously valuable work being done by agencies... but as this report makes clear, there are limitations to the current system, which mean that all too often the most vulnerable rough sleepers are falling through the cracks." Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said the study provided "valuable evidence for consideration by our new Homelessness Reduction Task Force".

Providing long-term rough-sleepers with a place of their own could save the Liverpool City Region (LCR) up to £4m a year, a study has found.

Roy, 26, has made only 51 runs in his past eight one-day internationals. BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew said Roy did not bat with the rest of the team in Tuesday's net session, with Jonny Bairstow - his likely replacement - in first. Roy received the backing of captain Eoin Morgan before Saturday's win over Australia, when he fell second ball. He has made 1,462 runs at an average of 34 in 46 ODIs. England cannot name their team until the day of the match for anti-corruption reasons, but Morgan said Yorkshire's Bairstow would be a capable replacement for Roy. Barstow, 27, has played 26 ODIs, scoring 647 runs at an average of 38.05. This year he has made three half-centuries in four one-day innings for England. Morgan told BBC Sport: "Jonny Bairstow is our next man in line. He is a very fine batsman. One thing he does exceptionally well is deal with no baggage. "He comes in and wants to prove everyone wrong the whole time. It's been a huge attribute in him scoring runs when he has had a chance. "Everyone goes through a bad run and that's expected. If someone happens to miss out then they're not going to be too far away from our plans in the future. "We have reasonably strong plans for 15 or 17 guys who we believe can take part in the 2019 World Cup and we are sticking to that plan." Media playback is not supported on this device BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew: "Roy was making bad choices and not giving himself the chance to score runs. "Against Bangladesh he played a pre-meditated sweep and was caught at short fine leg. Against New Zealand he moved too far across his stumps and was bowled. "So, even though England are entering the semi-final of a major tournament, it seems right that a change is made." Pre-tournament favourites England, who have never won a global 50-over tournament, are the only side with a 100% record from their three group games. They beat Bangladesh and New Zealand by convincing margins to book their place in the last four, and overcame an early batting collapse to overcome Australia in a rain-affected match. "You've got to play as if everything is on the line - that's the nature of this tournament," Morgan said. "The important thing to reflect on is that we have actually won nothing and achieved nothing so far. Tomorrow is a very big game for us." Media playback is not supported on this device Pakistan began the tournament with a one-sided loss to rivals India, before dominating South Africa, the world's number one-ranked team, and beating Sri Lanka in Monday's virtual quarter-final at Cardiff. They restricted Sri Lanka to 236 with an impressive bowling performance, but collapsed to 162-7 in reply before Sarfraz's unbeaten 61 took them to a three-wicket win. Morgan said: "They are a strong side and an unpredictable side, which makes it difficult." England have won 12 of the past 14 ODIs against Pakistan, dating back to 2010, including a 4-1 series win on home soil last summer. However, Pakistan chased 303 to win by four wickets at Cardiff in the last match of that series. "England are playing unbelievably well," said Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur. "They are a very good one-day unit with no apparent weaknesses. "We need to play our best game and, if we do, then we can put them under pressure at different points in the game." Katrin Omarsdottir struck the only goal following a free-kick midway through the second half to give the Belles their only points of the season. Emma Follis fired wide early on for Reading, while Belles' Emily Simpkins' 25-yard shot was saved by Mary Earps. Christie Murray almost grabbed a second but Earps kept out her header. Doncaster captain Leandra Little: "Seeing the goal go in was just an absolute massive, massive relief. Also, it is just nice to be celebrating something. "To get together with the girls and celebrate and finish the season on a high is good. "It has been a tough season and we've put in a lot of part performances and had to weather storms for part of games. "We also knew today was our last chance to get something. We didn't want to go down with no points on the board and we said that we'd put our bodies on the line and go for it." Match ends, Reading Ladies 0, Doncaster Rovers Belles 1.

In the three months to 31 December profit before tax fell to £526m, although revenues climbed to £6.1bn. On Tuesday, BT was forced to write down the value of its Italian unit after years of overstating profits. It has now confirmed that Corrado Sciolla, head of continental Europe, will step down over the affair. "The good progress we're making across most of the business has unfortunately been overshadowed by the results of our investigation into our Italian operations and our outlook," said Gavin Patterson, BT's chief executive. In the final three months of 2016, BT said it had seen record growth at EE, its market leading mobile unit, signing up 276,000 new customers for monthly contracts. It also added 83,000 broadband customers while 260,000 switched to faster fibre connections. But it faces a slowdown in work for the public sector and reiterated its warning of flat group sales and lower profits for 2016-17. Allegations of "inappropriate behaviour" at BT's Italian operation first emerged last summer before the company began conducting an investigation in October. It found improper accounting practices and "a complex set of improper sales, purchase, factoring and leasing transactions". Total adjustments relating to the investigation of its Italian business amount to £513m, BT said. Mr Sciolla's departure follows that of a number of BT Italy's senior management team. The firm said it had also appointed a new chief executive of BT Italy who will take charge on 1 February. BT shares have fallen 22% since news of the scandal broke on Tuesday. Southern and Thameslink trains will not call at London Bridge station from 20 December to 4 January. From 22-24 December, some Southeastern Charing Cross services will not call at London Bridge in the morning peak. The disruption will result from work to open two new platforms. Construction work has involved the clearing of Victorian arches beneath the station that will become the new passenger concourse. Plans for the 178-year-old station - London's oldest surviving rail terminus - include the concourse that will be bigger than the pitch at Wembley. Works will also take place to modernise nearby track and signalling equipment as part of the £6.5 billion Thameslink works programme. Thameslink programme director Simon Blanchflower said: "In the long run our work here will improve the journeys of millions of passengers across the South, but we understand that until we've finished some people may have to change their journey to or from London." London Bridge Underground station will not be affected by the work. The native title claim over a huge tract of land in South Australia has been mostly upheld by a federal court. Native titles are pre-colonial rights held by Australia's indigenous people, derived from their laws and customs. The Barngarla people traditionally lived along the north-western shore of the Spencer Gulf in South Australia. They lodged their claim for the land in 1996. Stakeholders involved in the claim included the Commonwealth government, commercial fishers, mining companies and pastoralists. The title does not grant freehold to the Barngarla but it means groups such as mining companies must now negotiate with the Barngarla over proposed developments. The claim covered 44,481 square km (1m acres), including about two-thirds of the Eyre Peninsula. The Federal Court's Justice John Mansfield upheld most of the claim but excluded the town of Port Augusta, the coastal waters below Port Lincoln and the islands of the Spencer Gulf. Barngarla elder Eric Paige, present at the court when the judgement was handed down, said the ruling was a step in the right direction. "I'm really happy," he said, according to local media. "We're going to be getting our country back you know, so that's good." The judgement was particularly significant because the area is densely populated, said South Australian Native Title Service Chief Executive Officer Keith Thomas. "It is important to create some certainty for the Barngarla people about their economic aspirations," Mr Thomas told the BBC. "They don't own any of the land but they have a bundle of rights that allow them to partake in traditional activities such as hunting, gathering, using bush medicine and protecting sacred sites," said Mr Thomas. The issue of whether the native title rights have been subsequently extinguished by other land titles such as freehold title will be determined in a subsequent hearing. Australia's biggest native title claim - covering 14.6m hectares of land and waters - was lodged in a Brisbane court in December. The claim - filed on behalf of nine traditional owners - refers to much of the Cape York Peninsula in the far north of Queensland. Under that claim, any land development will require consent from the owners. The Cairo Criminal Court found the time Alaa and Gamal Mubarak had spent in temporary detention exceeded the legal limit, state-owned Nile News TV said. The two men, who were arrested after the 2011 uprising, were sentenced alongside their father to three years in prison in May for embezzlement. They are appealing, but also face trial on the charge of insider trading. Some of the anger that led to Hosni Mubarak's overthrow was fuelled by the widespread belief that he and his sons had illegally amassed vast amounts of wealth. Gamal, 51, was a leading member of the former ruling National Democratic Party and was widely seen as his father's heir apparent. Alaa, 54, was a leader among the business elite. The brothers were acquitted of the corruption charge, but last year they were sentenced to four years in prison - and their father to three years - after being found guilty of embezzling millions of dollars of state funds. Prosecutors accused them of using money meant to pay for renovating and maintaining presidential palaces to upgrade their private residences. But the convictions were overturned in January by the Court of Cassation, which found that legal procedures had not been followed properly and ordered a retrial. In May, the three men were convicted at retrial and each sentenced to three years. They were also ordered to pay a fine of 125m Egyptian pounds ($15.9m; £10.4m) and repay the 21m Egyptian pounds ($2.7m; £1.7m) they allegedly embezzled. Hosni Mubarak is currently residing at a military hospital in the southern Cairo suburb of Maadi. It is not clear when the ailing 87 year old will be released. Charges of conspiring in the killing of hundreds of protesters during the uprising that ended his rule in 2011 were dropped in November 2014. Leicestershire police are handing out the garments to cover up gold necklaces and prevent them being snatched. They have been made by people completing unpaid work on the Community Payback scheme with fabric donated by businesses in Belgrave, Leicester. Officers said they had seen spikes in thefts over previous summers but it had not been a problem this year. PC Laura Nutt said: "In 2014, we had 72 chain snatches in the Belgrave area. We have a lot of Asian females who wear the gold. "It's very pure gold so it's very sought after and we wanted to put something in place to try and combat that this year." Officers have been visiting community centres and temples in the city to warn women about thefts and hand out the scarves. About 150 delegates attended the event, including Theresa Blegvad, culture convener of Aarhus in Denmark, the 2017 title holder. Dundee, Leeds, and Milton Keynes have declared interest in the title, which two European cities share every year. The UK was already lined up to host in 2023 before the country voted to leave the European Union last June. It is not yet known whether the EU will let the UK host now that Article 50 has been triggered. Aarhus is hosting four large-scale events, each attracting at least 40,000 people, during its European Capital of Culture tenure. Ms Blegvad, who leads the Nordic office of Dundee-based learning and development company Insights, has been asked to support the team working on Dundee's bid. She said: "Aarhus was going through a transformation when we applied for the title, much like Dundee is now. "The change was already happening, but we seized on the unconscious to create momentum and purpose and drive more change. "We consciously focused our bid on highlighting everything the city had to offer and the developments to become more modern and international. "Things have continued to blossom since then." In 2009-10 planning permission was granted for 2,258 homes, while in 2014-15 the figure rose to 11,977. In the last year alone the number of approvals doubled. The government insists greenbelt development is a matter for local planning authorities. Green belts were created to prevent urban sprawl and stop neighbouring towns merging into one another. England has 14 green belts, covering 13% of total land. Government policy states that the greenbelt should only be built on in "exceptional circumstances". But local authorities, hard pressed to supply land for development, are turning to green belt sites to try to satisfy housing demand. Some estimates suggest that 250,000 homes need to be built each year to solve the housing crisis in the UK. Areas feeling the most pressure include Hertfordshire, where the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) says sites for 34,000 homes have already been proposed, with another 10,000 waiting in the wings. "We are getting continual statements by government ministers, correspondence from government departments to various bodies like to us saying it is their determination to protect the greenbelt and the wider countryside," said Kevin Fitzgerald from Hertfordshire CPRE. "But, nevertheless, throughout our county, our planning authorities are coming out with these proposals for quite major development." Research carried out on behalf of BBC Radio 4's File on 4 programme by Glenigan, a leading provider of construction data, found a sharp increase in the number of houses securing full planning approval in the greenbelt. In 2009/10, 2,258 homes were approved. In 2013/2014, the number had risen to 5,607. By the following year, 2014/2015, it had more than doubled to 11,977. Housing and Planning Minister Brandon Lewis told the programme it was up to local authorities to decide the future of their greenbelt: "Greenbelt is something that has been there to give a strategic protection to those green lungs. We have outlined what local areas need to do if they want to go through a review of their greenbelt. "It is very much a matter of those local authorities. They are the best placed people locally, democratically accountable locally, to decide where is the right location for any development." Professor Paul Cheshire from the London School of Economics said the idea of the greenbelt was misunderstood and had nothing to do with the quality of the land: "You only need a tiny amount of the least environmentally-attractive greenbelt to solve the housing land shortage for generations to come, whereas Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and National Parks do provide huge benefit." But File on 4 has found evidence of proposed development even within these highly-protected landscapes. The programme has seen a survey of Local Planning Authorities by Natural England which found that 37% had housing allocations in or around Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). That adds up to 30,000 houses within the boundaries, and another 20,000 just outside. The North Wessex Downs AONB is currently facing proposals for 1,400 homes around a growing science and innovation campus at Harwell. Henry Oliver, director of the North Wessex AONB, said these projects could have a huge impact on the rural landscape. "This has been here for thousands of years. The idea that it's worth trading all this wonderful landscape off against a relatively short-term economic boost is not one that I find acceptable." In response, Vale of White Horse District Council leader Matthew Barber said economic growth is driving up housing need and the council has to plan accordingly. "We have a high housing target that we need to meet, and we have judged in this case that includes this site, in the AONB next to a major employment site. "The alternatives to that, we fear, would be unsustainable additions to other communities elsewhere in the district." Elsewhere, Dover District Council has approved planning permission for around 600 dwellings within the Kent Downs AONB. Hugh Ellis, head of policy at the Town and Country Planning Association, said the growing pressure on protected landscapes is happening because central government is not providing enough leadership, causing the system to fail. "I think overall planning can be best described as being very broken," he explained. "I don't think there has ever been a point in the post-war era where planning has been as demoralised, as underfunded and lacking in strategic direction as it is now." However, Housing and Planning Minister Brandon Lewis insists that protection for the countryside is being maintained. "I think we've got a system now that trusts local people to make those decisions, and the National Planning Policy Framework is actually very clear. "Great weight should be given to conserving landscapes and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. "Planning permission should be refused for major developments in these except in exceptional circumstances and where it can be demonstrated that it is in the public interest." File on 4 is on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday 9 June at 20:00 BST. Listen online or download the programme podcast. The 28-year-old tweeted: "I've heard if you earn minimum wage in England you're in the top 10% earners in the world. #stay #humble." Broad, who is in Australia on England duty, deleted the message after angry replies from some Twitter users. Broad then posted: "No offence meant and sorry if any taken. The hashtag was aimed at myself." In an interview with the BBC, the Nottinghamshire seamer tried to explain further the reasons for his tweet. "I didn't mean anything by it," he told Test Match Special reporter Charles Dagnall. "It was purely… I was amazed by the size of the world." Broad is due to face India in the tri-series in Sydney on Friday. In another post, he wrote: "Clarifying my earlier tweet, I merely wanted to emphasise my amazement at just how big the world is." Since October 2014, the UK minimum wage has been £6.50 an hour for adults aged 21 and over, and £5.13 for those aged 18 to 20. England and Wales have accused each other of illegal scrummaging before the Six Nations showdown at Twickenham. The hosts' head coach Eddie Jones believes Wales push too early at the scrum but Adam Jones says Wales' set-piece could help them dominate. "Any prop worth his salt pushes the boundaries as much as they can at this level," Adam Jones told BBC Wales. "The more they can get Samson to pre-engage, I think the better for them. "For me he's one of the best tight heads in the world. "If Samson can get to grips with Joe [Marler] then Wales will be fine." Media playback is not supported on this device Eddie Jones says his side have a stronger scrum than Wales, adding if the laws are enforced England "will get an advantage". Wales felt harshly done-by at the scrum in their 28-25 win over England in the pool stage of last year's World Cup. Forwards coach Robin McBryde highlighted England prop Joe Marler as a frequent infringer at the scrum. Marler's Harlequins front row colleague Adam Jones believes accusations the 25-year-old is guilty of illegal tactics at the scrum have been harsh. "For me he's a square scrummager and he gets quite a bad reputation, especially after the World Cup," Jones added. "When the scrummaging went to the new laws without the hits, he was one of the props you thought it would favour more because he get a long bind and he's outside the tight-head. "In the World Cup he scrummaged well against Wales and he got the penalties, and against Australia it was the reverse." By training two space telescopes on a supermassive black hole with the mass of a billion Suns, they measured the strength of its ferocious winds. The team also confirmed that these winds blow outwards in every direction, an idea that had been tricky to prove. The work shows how such black holes can affect the evolution of their galaxies. It was conducted by an international team of astronomers using the telescopes XMM-Newton and Nustar, run by the European Space Agency (Esa) and Nasa respectively. "We know that black holes in the centre of galaxies can feed on matter, and this process can produce winds. This is thought to regulate the growth of galaxies," said Prof Fiona Harrison of the California Institute of Technology, Nustar's principal investigator. The two telescopes simultaneously recorded different wavelengths of light coming from their distant target: a black hole two billion light-years away known as PDS 456. It shines brightly with many types of light, making it a quasar. Nustar specialises in high-energy X-rays while XMM-Newton views low-energy X-rays. XMM-Newton had already detected a wind blowing from PDS 456 towards the earth, because iron atoms carried by the huge gusts block X-rays in a characteristic way. It had also allowed astronomers to calculate that the wind was travelling at one third of the speed of light. But by adding high-energy observations from Nustar, the team was able to pick up a different signature of iron that was scattered to the sides, demonstrating that the wind rushes out in an almost spherical blast. "Knowing the speed, shape and size of the winds, we can now figure out how powerful they are," Prof Harrison said. That power is something to behold: about ten times the mass of the Sun is blown out every year, along with a trillion times more energy than our star emits. Those quantities, and the shape of the wind, suggest that PDS 456 has quite some impact on the surrounding galaxy - and this is likely to be the case for other supermassive black holes, including "Sagittarius A*" at the heart of our very own Milky Way. "Now we know that quasar winds significantly contribute to mass loss in a galaxy, driving out its supply of gas, which is fuel for star formation," said Dr Emanuele Nardini from Keel University in the UK, the study's lead author. "This study provides a unique view of the possible mechanism that links the evolution of the central black holes to that of their host galaxies, over cosmic time." The research is published in Science magazine. And now the residents of Wanlockhead in Dumfries and Galloway have some pretty lofty ambitions for its future. The local community trust recently held talks about a buyout involving purchasing land which is part of the Duke of Buccleuch's Queensberry Estate. They hope to improve economic development and enhance tourism and leisure in the area. But what potential do they see in the south of Scotland village? A village in the Lowther Hills, at the head of Wanlock Water, it sits about 11 miles (17km) north of Thornhill. The area around the village and its neighbour, Leadhills, was long a centre for lead-mining. The mines round Wanlockhead opened in 1680 and finally closed in 1959; Wanlockhead is now home to the Museum of Scottish Lead Mining. Gold has been found in the streams round about, and small quantities are still found by eager panners. Last year a nugget estimated to be worth £10,000 was discovered. Gold from the area was used in the crown of James V, in a ring for Queen Mary and in a brooch for Queen Elizabeth. Born in nearby Leadhills in Lanarkshire, William Symington became a mechanic at the Wanlockhead mines. In 1787 he patented an engine for road locomotion and, in 1788, he constructed a similar engine on a boat fitted with twin hulls and paddle-wheels, which was launched on Dalswinton Loch. In 1802 he completed at Grangemouth the Charlotte Dundas, one of the first practical steamboats ever built. A narrow gauge railway runs between Leadhills in south Lanarkshire and the village. It became famous earlier this year when it offered an unusual "commuter" service while the road link was closed for resurfacing. It offered a "replacement train" service to allow people from Wanlockhead to get to the doctor's surgery as well as ferrying some staff at the Museum of Lead Mining. A gruelling cycling challenge has its starting point in the village. The Snowball Sportive allows riders to tackle some of the highest roads in the country. But with six major climbs along its route, it is not for the faint hearted. Winter sports fans can join the south of Scotland's only ski centre. The Lowther Hills Ski Club is situated near the village. Volunteers who run the club believe that, with improved facilities, they could draw hundreds of people to the region. First talks between the Wanlockhead Community Trust (WCT) and Buccleuch were described as "very productive". Lincoln Richford, who chairs the WCT, said: "We look forward to working further with Buccleuch Estates. I believe that we can find a mutually satisfying solution for both parties that will ensure a bright future for our village." John Glen, of Buccleuch, said: "We were pleased to have had this initial meeting with the trust as the estate is committed to playing its part in local economic development. We have held discussions with various interest groups over the years and there is a range of options that we should all consider that could help improve the sustainability of the area. As there are many complex issues to discuss, it is too early to form any conclusions or reach decisions. However, we look forward to continuing a constructive dialogue with the trust's representatives and villagers." Further meetings are planned and the WCT is expected to register a formal interest in the land with the Scottish government later this year. Asta's Glam Factory, on Castlereagh Street, is owned by a Lithuanian woman. Police received a report that a gang of men forced up the shutters shortly before midnight, poured accelerant on the premises and set it alight. It follows a series of recent attacks on foreign nationals in Belfast. Three fire crews were called to deal with the fire at the nail salon and the blaze was extinguished by 01:00 BST. Police said no-one was in the salon at the time but the building has been extensively damaged by fire and smoke. Det Insp Jenna Fitzpatrick said police believed that the gang may have fled the scene in a black 4 x 4 vehicle. She appealed for anyone who had information about the attack to contact officers on the non-emergency number 101. On Sunday, Northern Ireland's Honorary Polish Consul Jerome Mullen called on Stormont's first and deputy first ministers to take action after a series of racially-motivated attacks on Polish homes in north Belfast. A gang of men forced up the shutters of the salon and set the building alight shortly before midnight Bobby Colleran was struck on Leyfield Road, West Derby, at about 15:25 BST on Friday. Paramedics attended and he received treatment at the scene but he died from his injuries shortly after. In a statement, Bobby's family, from Huyton, said: "Our Bob lit up a room, he was the most loving little boy." They added: "As well as being a cherished son and brother, he was a grandson, nephew, cousin and friend to everyone he met. "He loved life and school, always coming home with achievement awards to put up on the fridge, playing football when it wasn't too cold, but most of all watching his favourite programme, the Lone Ranger. "Now re-united with his Grandad and best mate who he missed so so much." The family also thanked staff at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. Merseyside Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision to contact them. Belfast Giants' Scottish centre, 37, scored a hat-trick on home ice to move onto 41 international goals, one ahead of previous record-holder Tony Hand. The result moves Britain level with Japan on 12 points at the top of World Championship Division 1 Group B. The nations play on Saturday (19:30 BST), with the winner taking gold and promotion to Division 1 Group A. BBC Radio 5 live sports extra will have full commentary of the match. A witness reported a male in a blue hoodie throwing a cat on Holderness Road at about 03:00 BST on Saturday. The animal charity appealed for any further witnesses and warned pet owners in the area to be vigilant. A spokesperson said: "This must have been very distressing for both the owner and for anyone that witnessed the incident." This is the first time in the dressage event's 66-year history that a day has been cancelled due to the weather. About 10,000 people, including the Queen were expected to attend Wednesday's event. Organisers have said that they will make a decision on whether the event can go ahead on Thursday. Waterlogged fields which would have been used as car parks for the event have been deemed unusable. Marketing manager for the event Jo Peck said that Wednesday's cancellation was "disappointing" but it is hoped that the remaining four days will go ahead as planned. She said: "We're doing the right thing because if we can keep [Wednesday] clear we will have a show for the next four days. "We're doing refunds for anyone who has bought tickets today, so those should go through automatically." Although attempts were made to contact visitors, people with horse boxes were being turned away at about 09:00 BST. In celebration of the Queen's 90th birthday, there will be a parade of 900 horses in the private grounds of Windsor Castle on Thursday. The event will celebrate the Queen's love of horses and the parade is expected to go ahead. Assistant coach John Winder will take up his responsibilities in France, but Wane says he will communicate from the UK throughout the game. "I'm gutted, it's the first game I've missed during my time as head coach," said Wane. Wigan recorded a first Super League win since April when they beat Widnes 28-12 in their most recent fixture on Sunday. Abercrombie & Fitch Co refused to hire Samantha Elauf because her dress violated the clothing retailer's "Look Policy" for sales staff. Ms Elauf wore a hijab at interview but did not say she was Muslim. But Justice Antonin Scalia said the retailer "at least suspected" that she wore a headscarf for religious reasons and she did not need to make a request. US law requires that employers must "reasonably accommodate" an employee's religious beliefs, as long as it does not provide an undue hardship to the business. "I was a teenager who loved fashion and was eager to work for Abercrombie & Fitch," said Ms Elauf in a statement after the court released its decision. Ms Elauf was 17 years old when the discrimination occurred during a job interview at a shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2008. "Observance of my faith should not have prevented me from getting a job. I am glad that I stood up for my rights", she said after the ruling. In an 8-1 verdict, the court ruled that Abercrombie had violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bans discrimination based on religious beliefs and practices. Groups representing Jews, Sikhs, Christian, gay, and lesbian rights organisations filed papers in court in solidarity with Ms Elauf, who told reporters she sought to protect the rights of people of all faiths at work. In 2013 Abercrombie & Fitch Co settled with two American Muslim women who were targeted by management for their use of the hijab. Each woman was awarded $71,000 (£47,000). Abercrombie & Fitch Co has since reversed its policy on headscarves. Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring on 38 minutes and Douglas Costa doubled the lead two minutes later. The Poland striker scored his second of the game after half-time to reach 100 goals for Bayern in his 136th game. Elsewhere title chasing RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund both lost ground on Bayern with costly defeats. Frankfurt captain Marco Russ came on as a second-half substitute to play in his first Bundesliga game of the season, after recovering from testicular cancer. Mario Gomez scored the winner as second-placed Leipzig lost 1-0 at home to Wolfsburg. Third-placed Dortmund, who beat Benfica 4-0 on Wednesday to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, conceded after 11 minutes away to Hertha Berlin as ex-Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou scored. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his 32nd of the season to equalise for Dortmund on 55 minutes, before Marvin Plattenhardt scored Hertha's winner with a free-kick on 71 minutes. Bayern, who beat Arsenal 5-1 on Tuesday in their Champions League round-of-16 tie, lead the table on 59 points, with Leipzig on 49 and Dortmund on 43.

Polling was held in 91 seats in 14 states and union territories, including in the capital Delhi and the key state of Uttar Pradesh. Officials say the voter turnout in all states has been higher than in 2009. The nine-phase vote began on Monday and will conclude on 12 May. Votes will be counted on 16 May. More than 814 million Indians are eligible to vote in the polls. The anti-corruption Aam Aadmi (Common Man's) Party, which secured a spectacular result in local polls in Delhi last year, offers a challenge to the main parties. Several smaller regional parties are also in the fray and if no single party wins a clear majority, they could play a crucial role in the formation of a government. By Andrew NorthBBC News, Delhi There's been a quiet, dignified atmosphere to election day in Delhi so far, with a steady trickle of voters rather than a flow. The streets are quiet because a public holiday has been declared. Parents have been coming to their nearest polling stations with children in tow. We watched relatives guiding several blind people into one polling station. Many proud first-time voters were showing off their freshly inked fingers or snapping selfies to send out on social media. Rich or poor, young or old, it's a moment when the whole city is united behind one goal. More than 110 million voters were eligible to cast their votes on Thursday and almost a fifth of the parliament's 543 seats were up for grabs. Brisk voting was reported through the day in Delhi, Bihar, Kerala and Uttar Pradesh, reports said. Voting was also held in the states of Maharashtra, Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Haryana. Voting officially ended at 18:00 local time (12:30 GMT) but in some booths it was extended to allow voters who were in the queue to finishing voting. Election Commission officials said the voter turnout was 64% in Delhi, 65% in Uttar Pradesh, 73% in Kerala, 66% in Jammu and 73% in Haryana. Among the early voters in Delhi were members of the Gandhi family - Congress party president Sonia, her son and party vice-president Rahul and daughter Priyanka - and the AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal. In the politically crucial northern state of Uttar Pradesh, which sends the most number of MPs, 80, to parliament, some 16 million voters were eligible to cast their ballots in 10 constituencies. In the restive Muzaffarnagar constituency, where at least 65 people were killed and 51,000 people - mostly Muslims - were displaced after Hindu-Muslim clashes in September, a number of people living in camps in the area turned up to vote early on Thursday, the BBC Hindi's Nitin Srivastava reports. Election Commission of India BJP pledges improved economy Two soldiers were killed and three others injured in a landmine explosion blamed on Maoist rebels in Jamui, a rebel stronghold in the eastern state of Bihar, but voting remained unaffected in the area. Thousands of police and paramilitary security personnel have been deployed across the country to ensure smooth polling. The marathon vote is being staggered over five weeks for security and logistical reasons. The main contest in the elections is between the Congress, led by Rahul Gandhi, and the BJP, led by the charismatic and controversial Hindu nationalist leader Narendra Modi. Mr Modi, who is ahead in all the pre-election opinion polls, is the leader of Gujarat state, which witnessed one of India's worst anti-Muslim riots in 2002. The BJP has promised to improve the economy and infrastructure and curb corruption if it wins in the general elections. The Congress party has promised "inclusive growth" if it returns to power, with a raft of welfare schemes, including a right to healthcare for all and pensions for the elderly and disabled. Any party or a coalition needs a minimum of 272 MPs to form a government. It now affects about 7% of adults in Wales, with health officials expecting that to rise to 11.5% by 2030. The plan will focus on patient education, a new management system for monitoring the disease, and more support for children. The charity Diabetes UK Cymru said it welcomed the initiative as an important step in tackling the issue. Dai Williams, the national director for the charity, said the Welsh government had "finally woken up" to the problem in Wales. "It is costing the NHS in Wales half-a-billion pounds a year. That's 10% of every health board budget going on diabetes," he said. "This new plan shows a real commitment by Welsh government to improve standards of care for people living with diabetes. "It is now up to local health boards across the country to take this blueprint for diabetes care and put it into practice." The new plan follows an assembly-led inquiry into how the disease was previously being tackled. It found that about 160,000 people in Wales had the condition, with another 350,000 showing pre-diabetes symptoms of higher than normal blood sugar levels. The latest plan set out by the government emphasises the need to help those with the disease to "do more to help themselves". In a bid to drive long-term improvements, the NHS in Wales will also introduce a new diabetes patient management system to ensure good clinical data on the disease can be gathered and help deliver more tailored care. Diabetes UK The plan states that it wants the health service in Wales to detect and diagnose diabetes quickly so patients can start "effective self-management" of the condition. The delivery programme also wants to help children with the most severe form of the disease, type 1 diabetes, understand how to manage their condition effectively, including while in school. Finally, the plan outlines ways it is hoped the incidence of diabetes can be reduced, through education and promoting lifestyle changes. "A combined approach of promoting healthy eating and increased physical activity is essential as these are key factors in the prevention of obesity and type 2 diabetes," states the plan. Welsh health minister Mark Drakeford said: "There is a growing prevalence of diabetes in Wales and we have to find new ways of delivering world class care in these times of financial austerity. "Effective self-management of diabetes is essential for helping individual wellbeing but also avoiding unnecessary admissions to hospitals. "It is not only a matter of working harder, but working smarter. This framework prepared with clinicians, patients, third sector groups and others will now help the NHS in Wales do just that." Stephen Archer, 50, of Openshaw in Manchester, is a suspect in the attack at his 49-year-old sister's home that left the victim with 70% burns. Detectives say initial investigations suggest petrol was thrown over her before she was set alight. Petrol station staff have been urged to contact police if they see Mr Archer. Supt Arif Nawaz, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "We are appealing to those who work in petrol stations to be extra vigilant and call police if you think you see him. "Stephen usually wears a baseball cap and carries a large rucksack. He is known to travel on a bicycle. "We have reason to believe Stephen could be carrying several bottles of petrol in his backpack and a man was seen fitting his description cycling away from the scene. "We have followed several leads and have received some very helpful information but unfortunately we have still not found him." The victim remains in a serious condition and is fighting for her life in hospital. A police spokesman said: "She is still critically ill and our specialist support officers are supporting the family through this extremely difficult time. "We can assure the victim, the family and the wider public that we are doing everything we can to find the person responsible and bring them to justice." A 19-year-old woman escaped uninjured from an upstairs window of the house, with help from neighbours. William Walls, 47, from Cowdenbeath, raped and indecently assaulted the first victim on numerous occasions when she was aged between four and 12. He raped the second girl when she was about nine and sexually abused her on numerous occasions between the ages of seven and 11. The offences happened between 1981 and 1987. Walls was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow. Det Insp June Peebles, of Police Scotland, said: "William Walls' predatory behaviour had a dramatic and damaging effect on the lives of his young victims. "He sexually abused these children for his own gratification over a period of nine years. "It is very difficult for victims of sexual abuse to find the courage to come forward to police to report these matters." She added: "Non-recent abuse is particularly difficult since many people have the view that because it happened years ago, then it should be left in the past and nothing done about it. "Today's sentencing is positive for all victims of non-recent abuse and demonstrates that regardless of how long ago abuse took place, the seriousness of such crimes does not diminish." Defending 149 on a slow surface, England took three wickets for no runs to reduce the hosts to 100-7. Shemaine Campbelle (23 not out) edged West Indies close, but Katherine Brunt (3-24) took two wickets in two overs to bowl West Indies out for 144. Danielle Wyatt earlier made 44 to drag England from 62-5 as the tourists were bowled out in the final over. The second game in the five-match series takes place on Monday, again at the Trelawny Stadium. For England, victory comes in Heather Knight's first overseas match since replacing Charlotte Edwards as captain. In Knight's first series in charge, England whitewashed Pakistan 3-0 in both ODI and Twenty20 series, but World T20 champions West Indies represented a higher class of opposition. That they claimed the win was down to the recovery work of Wyatt and Amy Jones (20), followed by an exceptional display with the ball. England's total felt short of par, and looked increasingly so when West Indies openers Hayley Matthews and Shaquana Quintyne added 53, benefiting from pace on the ball. But they were both removed by 17-year-old debutant left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone, either side of West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor retiring hurt. England's quartet of spinners continued to make inroads while the big-hitting Deandra Dottin threatened at the other end, joined by Taylor who returned at the fall of the fourth wicket. Dottin holed out off Brunt for 29 and when Alex Hartley removed both Taylor and Anisa Mohammed lbw with no further addition to the score, England were firmly in control. Campbelle and Afy Fletcher, though, took up the fight with a stand of 23 before Fletcher was trapped in front by Laura Marsh. With tension rising and home noise increasing, West Indies edged ever closer, only for Brunt to return to pin both Shamilia Connell and Erva Giddings lbw, sparking animated England celebrations. England's decision to bat first on a surface seemingly set to deteriorate looked to be an advantage, but the touring top order initially struggled to adapt to the conditions on a stiflingly hot day. Medium-pacer Dottin accounted for Tammy Beaumont, Georgia Elwiss and Knight for a golden duck, before Lauren Winfield and Nat Sciver fell to the spin of Fletcher and Mohammed respectively. It was left to Wyatt, who made 90 in a practice match on Thursday, to rebuild, the right-hander sweeping and running well in a stand of 45 with Jones. After Jones was caught behind off the off-spin of Taylor, it looked like Wyatt would accelerate in the final 10 overs, only to hole out to cover off Fletcher after making her highest ODI score. It fell to Brunt to make 17 in the company of the tail and, when she became the last wicket to fall, England just about had enough. England pace bowler Katherine Brunt: "I feel like it's one of my top two or three bowling performances ever. "It was a tacky surface, quite slow, and people know I'm renowned for swinging the ball. In terms of being a seamer, everything was against you so you had to be clever. "Before we came out to field, we said not to look lightly on the score. There's things to work on but, today that was the best we could manage. We put a score on the board, then rallied as a team. It was a brilliant team effort. "We have a really supportive group of girls. The youngsters come in and feel welcome from the start, which is not always how it's been. Long may that continue." BBC Test Match Special will have ball-by-ball commentary on England's one-day international series in West Indies, with live text commentary on the BBC Sport website. A lot has changed since the New York Giants took on the Miami Dolphins on a wet October night seven years ago. No longer a footnote in the consciousness of British sports fans, the NFL now sells out England's national football stadium on a consistent basis. But what's next for the sport in the UK? It all started with the first league game ever held outside North America. From that single match the International Series has grown and developed. This year we've seen three sell-out games each watched by more than 80,000 people at Wembley. Since 2007, more than half of the league's 32 teams have travelled to London to play with more coming next year. The league's UK office has shown it's capable of meeting the logistical challenges of hosting the games. We know the boss of the NFL wants a team based in London permanently. There's talk that it could happen in the next 10 years or so. It's all part of the NFL's plan to widen the appeal of the league globally to help it make more money. And it's not just cash for the NFL, a recent report estimated the move could also be worth around £100m a year to local businesses. To reach that goal there are obvious logistical challenges to be sorted out but what about the emotional ones? Watching the games at Wembley, you see a crowd peppered with jerseys from all 32 NFL teams. So in order to create a viable, vibrant team based here the big challenge in the next few years will be working out how to get those same fans to come together behind one identity or to at least be willing to share their allegiances. And then there's the issue of what you would call the team? London Royals is one suggestion on Twitter, don't be surprised if the market research starts soon. Currently there are just four British-born players making a living in the NFL. Having more of them playing consistently in the league is one way of giving the fans more reasons to keep coming to watch. But that's easier said than done. At the moment around 3,700 adults play competitive American Football in the UK. There are also around 4,000 people either in playing or coaching in the university American Football set up here and more than 1,000 under-19 players. Putting more effort into increasing the participation at these grassroots levels is one way of making sure that there are more Jack Crawfords and Menelik Watsons playing in the league in the future. The pitch at Wembley has often been talked about as a problem that needs sorting in the future. Players have often slipped and lost their footing, questions have been asked about it in post-match press conferences and analysts talk about it before the game. It's also an issue for the other teams who play their respective sports at the stadium. Given how the pitch gets cut to shreds after an NFL game, England boss Roy Hodgson recently questioned the scheduling of the Dallas Cowboys v Jacksonville Jaguars match just six days before his side take on Slovenia there in a Euro 2016 qualifier. So with more games coming Wembley's way, getting a new pitch installed will surely have to be considered? Maybe a similar design to the one recently installed at the Millennium stadium in Cardiff? Whatever happens next in the NFL's development here in the UK, it's safe to say that we'll be seeing more helmets and shoulder pads at Wembley in the near future. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Data experts are asking why Ms Clinton performed worse in counties that relied on electronic voting machines compared to paper ballots and optical scanners. While they have found no evidence of hacking, they argue that an independent audit is required. Mrs Clinton admitted defeat hours after the election on 8 November. She lost to Mr Trump by at least 58 votes in the all-important electoral college tally, decided on a state-by-state basis, but won the popular vote by at least 1m ballots. California has still to complete its official count because, according to the LA Times, of its complex electoral laws although the state has already been called for Mrs Clinton. During the bitter election campaign, the FBI began an investigation into allegations that Russians had hacked the private email of John Podesta, her campaign chairman. The hacked communications, which portrayed the Clinton campaign in an unflattering light, were published by WikiLeaks. Now a "growing number of academics and activists" are calling for an audit of the results in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the UK's Guardian newspaper reports. "I'm interested in verifying the vote," Dr Barbara Simons, an adviser to the US election assistance commission and expert on electronic voting, was quoted as saying. "We need to have post-election ballot audits." According to a CNN report, a group of scientists including J Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, has privately told the Clinton campaign it believes there was a "questionable trend". The group has reportedly informed Mr Podesta that Mrs Clinton received 7% fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic voting machines, suggesting they may have been hacked. Teams from Europe and the Rest of the World will compete annually for the Laver Cup, named after 77-year-old Australian tennis legend Rod Laver. The inaugural edition of the event is scheduled for September 2017. "I like the concept but I don't know if players will take it seriously," Cash told Radio 5 live sports extra. The tournament organisers say each six-man team will be captained by a "a legend of the sport", who will pick two wildcards to add to the four players who qualify through "a results-based formula". The 12-match competition will take place over three days, with each day featuring three singles matches and a doubles match. The tournament is the brainchild of Team8, the management agency of 17-time grand slam winner Roger Federer, Tennis Australia and Jorge Paulo Lemann, a Brazilian businessman who represented both Brazil and Switzerland as a player in the Davis Cup. Cash, who won the men's singles title at Wimbledon in 1987, believes the timing of the tournament will discourage the top players from signing up. "The concept is a great idea, but it's after the US Open and the Davis Cup [semi-finals] - it's stuck in the middle of a tournament," he said. "With the Davis Cup struggling in some places in the world, I'm not sure we need another tournament to squeeze in." Creating such a market was one of the key aims underpinning the government's decision to introduce a cap on care costs in England from next year. Two years ago Prime Minister David Cameron said he hoped the plans would "open up an enormous market". But 17 major companies said there was not enough interest in such policies. Care experts said the revelation was a blow. About 60% of people are expected to need care in their old age - with one in 10 facing costs in excess of £100,000. From April 2016, the government is setting the cap on care at £72,000 from the age of 65. Currently people face unlimited costs - although those with little wealth get help towards their costs. Under the change, once an individual has spent that sum, the state will pick up the bill for care - although people will still be liable for £230 weekly living costs if they are in a care home. The BBC has launched an online guide to the care system for the over-65s. The "care calculator" covers both residential care and the support provided in people's own homes, for tasks such as washing and dressing. Users can submit their postcode and find out how much each service costs wherever they live in the UK. There is also a dedicated BBC Cost of Care website with news stories, explainers, analysis and video. By covering the catastrophic costs, ministers hoped insurance policies would be offered to people so they could make small payments in the decades before they reached the age when they needed care. The only products currently on the market are immediate needs annuities, which involve people paying a one-off lump sum - often about £100,000 - when they start needing care. The idea is that they will then be paid an income over the rest of their life to cover the costs of care. However, some people have reported the policies have failed to keep pace with the rising costs of care - and, because of the upfront money involved, they are out of the reach of many people. The BBC approached 20 companies and received 17 responses as part of its Cost of Care project, which includes an online guide to how care works and what it costs. The companies participated on the basis they would remain anonymous. One said a key problem was that people tended not to plan for retirement and the government's proposals had not "fundamentally changed that picture". Another reported that few people were prepared to "defer consumption today to pay for an event which may not occur". Care refers to everything from support provided in people's homes to round-the-clock help in care homes. Unlike with the NHS, people have to pay towards these services. Some get help from their local authorities, but others pay the full cost of their care. One in 10 people faces lifetime costs of more than £100,000. About 420,000 people are currently living in care and nursing homes across the UK, while about one million receive help in their own home. There are another 1.5 million people who rely on friends and family for support. Care Minister Norman Lamb said: "I do challenge the insurance industry - don't be conservative on this. Step up to the plate. They have a responsibility in my view too. We need to do this collaboratively. "We've taken the steps that they wanted us to take to enable them to do these reforms. And I think they need to be ambitious and to recognise the importance of providing products so that people can plan for old age." But Yvonne Braun, of the Association of British Insurers, said the industry was ultimately responding to the "law of supply and demand". "If you wanted to sell to somebody in their 30s, 40s and 50s, or even 60s, I think you would find it very very difficult. Younger people... have other financial priorities - specifically paying off their mortgage and supporting their children." She said it was more likely that other insurance products, such as critical illness cover and life insurance, would be adapted to cover care costs. James Lloyd, director of the Strategic Society think tank, said there were always doubts the insurance industry would develop products. "The government could lower the cap to try to encourage more interest, it could just accept that people will have to pay the £72,000 in costs or develop its own state insurance model - that has happened in Germany. But there really isn't an easy answer." Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers Union (RMT) had been due to walk out from Sunday evening in a row over staffing on the network. General secretary Mick Cash said Tube bosses had agreed to reinstate nearly 60% of jobs which had been cut. Another union previously called off the strikes after reaching an agreement. Tube ticket office row resolved but at what cost? Mr Cash said station staff numbers had been "slashed" by 953 when Boris Johnson was mayor of London but "533 of those jobs will have been reinstated". He continued: "That is a tremendous victory and a reflection of the resilience and determination of our reps." Tube staff had been due to strike for 16 hours from 18:00 GMT on Sunday and then walk out for another 15 hours on Tuesday. Similar action in January by the RMT and Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) led to the closure of much of the network. On Monday, the TSSA announced it would not join the planned walk outs, saying that proposals offered by Tube bosses "paved the way for a resolution". Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he was "delighted" the strike had been called off. He described it as "an excellent deal that will ensure commuters get the service they need... and it will fix the mess created by the previous mayor". But Conservative London Assembly member Keith Prince said it appeared Sadiq Khan had "caved in and bought off the RMT by spending tens of millions of pounds on unnecessary jobs". The mayor's office has said the proposals agreed with both unions would see an additional 325 new members of staff, 200 of whom will be in full-time positions. Steve Griffiths, chief operating officer for LU, said Tube bosses "agree we need more staff in our stations". "We will continue working with the unions... to help meet the needs of our customers and to ensure they feel safe, fully supported and able to access the right assistance at all times," he said. The truce will come into force from midnight on Sunday, according to the official Saudi news agency. However, the coalition said it reserved the right to respond to "military activity or movement" by Houthi rebels during the ceasefire. The announcement followed air strikes in Taiz province, which reportedly killed 120 people, including civilians. Missiles fired by coalition forces hit a residential area in the Red Sea town of Mokha on Friday, flattening buildings, the Associated Press reports. Children and elderly people, were among the dead. "It just shows what is the trend now of the airstrikes from the coalition," said Hassan Boucenine from the medical charity Doctors Without Borders. "Now, it's a house, it's a market, it's anything," he added. A resident of Taiz, Abulkader Al Guneid, told the BBC that there were shortages of most basic necessities, including diesel and vegetables. "We have power cut. We have internet cut. We have everything cut," he added. Aid agencies say a blockade on Yemen has worsened the humanitarian crisis which is gripping the country. More than 80% of Yemen's 25 million people now need some form of aid. The Saudi-led coalition has been bombing Houthi militia and army forces loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh since 26 March. It aims to defeat the rebels, who now control most of the country, and restore the government of exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. Saudi Arabia says the rebels are hiding troops and weapons in civilian areas to prevent them being targeted by air strikes. But the UN has warned the coalition that indiscriminate bombing of populated areas is against international law. The unexpected ceasefire was announced after President Hadi wrote to Saudi's King Salman asking for a break, to allow humanitarian supplies to be delivered. A week-long truce brokered by the United Nations failed earlier this month. At least 1,693 civilians have been killed in fighting in Yemen, with almost 4,000 people wounded. The UN said the majority of casualties were caused by air strikes. Houthis - The Zaidi Shia Muslim rebels from the north overran Sanaa last year and then expanded their control. They want to replace Mr Hadi, whose government they say is corrupt. The US alleges Iran is providing military assistance to the rebels. Ali Abdullah Saleh - Military units loyal to the former president - forced to hand over power in 2011 after mass protests - are fighting alongside the Houthis. Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi - The president fled abroad in March as the rebels advanced on Aden, where he had taken refuge in February. Loyal soldiers, Sunni Muslim tribesmen and Southern separatists have formed militia to fight the rebels. Saudi-led coalition - A US-backed coalition of nine, mostly Sunni Arab states says it is seeking to "defend the legitimate government" of Mr Hadi.

Twenty people were involved in the evacuation. The fire was found at about 12:10 and firefighters were called. The centre was closed to allow for repairs to damaged equipment.

The group, campaigning against the end of the Independent Living Fund, were prevented from getting in by police. BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said about 20 protesters, many of whom were in wheelchairs, had made their way towards - and attempted to "storm" into - the Commons chamber. The doors were quickly closed on the chanting protesters, he said. Prime Minister's Questions carried on inside the chamber, and Commons officials told broadcasters not to film the protest, which continued outside in Westminster's central lobby. The protesters were from a group called Disabled People Against Cuts. One protester told BBC News the Independent Living Fund, which provides support for some 18,000 people and is worth £320m, was "vital for the lives of disabled people". The fund is being closed on 30 June with funding and responsibility transferred to councils and the devolved administrations. Its closure has been challenged in the courts, but was ruled lawful by the High Court in December. About an hour after Prime Minister's Questions ended, Scotland Yard said the protest was over. It said one person and their carer had been ejected from the Palace of Westminster for disorderly behaviour, but no arrests had been made. By Damon Rose, editor, Ouch! The Independent Living Fund provides money to severely disabled people in order to help them live independently. It typically funds personal assistants, or carers, for up to 24-hours a day to assist in everything from bathing, making meals and turning people in their beds at night. In December 2010 the government announced that this central pot of money was to close with responsibility with the full budget being passed to local authorities to provide the care - however the devolved budget has not been ring-fenced for disabled people. They fear they will receive less money, which they say could lead to them not being able to continue life-affirming voluntary or paid work and often say they may have to wait hours for someone to change them. The alternative could be giving up their homes and moving to residential care - which, with Winterbourne View in recent memory, is not desirable. The ILF gives disabled people the ability to hire and fire their own care and campaigners claim this is cheaper than residential care. Parachute funding is being offered to ease the blow, however, and some councils have guaranteed keeping the same level of payment. After the protest ended in the Commons the campaigners blocked the road outside Parliament. The Department for Work and Pensions said: "While opponents of these reforms scaremonger about support being withdrawn, in reality this is simply a debate about how support should be funded." A spokesman said all care and support needs of fund users would still be met, "but within a single care and support system". He added: "More than £260m will be made available to former ILF users in 2015/16 and local authorities and devolved administrations will be fully funded to ensure disabled people get the targeted support they need to live independent lives."

Protesters have attempted to enter the House of Commons chamber during Prime Minister's Questions.

Karl Daymond fell ill just before he was due to speak at a meeting about Drill Hall in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, where he had directed shows. He was a passionate supporter of the arts who wanted to ensure the future of the venue. Chepstow mayor Dale Rooke said he was "one of those larger than life characters" with a "huge heart and a huge passion". "He will be sorely missed and it's a huge, huge loss to Chepstow," he added. Mr Rooke said Mr Daymond was "quite stressed" about speaking at the meeting, which was organised to allow locals to have their say on the future of the hall. It came amid a row over whether the venue's ownership should be transferred from the local authority into the hands of a newly-formed charity. The hall secured £50,000 from the Big Lottery in February to fund renovations with plans for a further £1m bid dependent on who owned it in future. Mr Rooke said: "It was an emotional meeting but we knew it was going to be. About 80 people were present. "It was particularly traumatic as when he collapsed, everyone was stuck in the council chamber and lots of the people in the room knew Karl." Mr Daymond trained at The National Opera Studio before touring the world with both the English and Welsh national operas. His career included performing at the BBC Proms in 1999 and 2002, and twice at the Royal Variety Performance, in 1982 performing The Pirate King from Pirates of Penzance, and as a soloist in 2004. He appeared with Hollywood star Dustin Hoffman in a 1989 production of the Merchant of Venice, and took a starring role in Leonard Bernstein's Grammy-nominated one-act opera Trouble in Tahiti in 2001.

The company behind Crossrail and the transformation of the former Olympic Stadium into West Ham's ground made an £8m profit, after a £199m loss in 2015. Balfour said it had allowed its business to become too complex after a series of takeovers. Chief executive Leo Quinn said the company's leadership, processes and controls had been upgraded. "The transformation of Balfour Beatty is well under way," he said. The company said that, by 2014, it had become overly complex following more than a decade of acquisition-led growth. It added there had been an overall lack of leadership and strategic direction, and that its businesses had a tendency to compete with each other. However, Balfour says its business has now been simplified. The company is involved in some of the country's highest profile building projects. As well as Crossrail, which will link west and east London, it is upgrading motorways and working on the Thames Tideway Tunnel. In the next few years it plans to be part of the country's three biggest infrastructure projects: High Speed 2 (HS2), the new nuclear power stations at Hinkley Point C and Wylfa, and the third runway at Heathrow airport. Analysts have been encouraged by the company's progress. "The self-help phase of the turnaround plan has restored the group to reasonable foundations, with the all-important construction division back in profit in the second half," said Nicholas Hyett, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. "The strategy now calls for the group to rebuild margins towards something close to industry standard - at around 2% it's not an overly ambitious target on the face of it, but something Balfour have failed to achieve for some time," he said. Balfour said it was upbeat about prospects as the "trading environment in the group's core UK and US markets remains positive". "In the UK, government policy is helping to drive a strong pipeline of major infrastructure projects in transport and energy. "In the US, the new administration has made infrastructure one of its key priorities." Residents around Oakham reported feeling the 1.7 magnitude quake at about 23:05 BST on Monday The widely-known Richter scale has been generally replaced by moment magnitude scale (Mw). Richter measured the amount of movement while Mw is based on the force involved. Mw 1.0 - 30 lb of TNT, eg construction site blast Mw 2.0 - 1 ton of TNT eg large quarry or mine blast Mw 3.0 - 29 tonnes of TNT Mw 4.0 - 1 kiloton of TNT eg small atomic bomb Mw 5.0 - 32 kiloton of TNT eg Nagasaki atomic bomb Mw scale goes to 9 Source: British Geological Survey On 17 and 18 April, two quakes struck the same area - the second of which was the strongest felt in the area for more than 10 years at magnitude 3.5. The British Geological Survey said it was not unusual to have a third and said it was probably an aftershock. The BGS recorded the epicentre as about 2km below the village of Ashwell, north of Oakham and it was felt in Oakham, Cottesmore, Ashwell, Langham and Braunston-in-Rutland. Residents took to social networking site Twitter with the hashtag #rutlandearthquake to discuss the event, which was much weaker than the previous two. Jack Thorpe tweeted: "So, what I thought was my neighbour putting his bin out was a THIRD #rutlandearthquake What on earth has been awakened beneath us?" And Oakham Police also tweeted saying there was a loud bang and windows shook. David Galloway, a seismologist at the BGS, said it was not unusual. "What is unusual is that the second one was larger than the first," he said. "This latest one is probably an aftershock. There could be more but it may now have released all the pressure. It is impossible to predict." Mr Galloway said that about 400 people contacted the BGS about the first quake, on 17 April, and 1,000 got in touch regarding the second, which was three times stronger. By contrast, only about 50 people filled in a survey about Monday's tremor. No damage or injuries have been reported. 11 February 2016 Last updated at 07:33 GMT It will feature brand new songs as well as the favourites from the film. It will open in America in 2017.

The flight from Zante to London Gatwick was cancelled on Sunday over technical issues, which continued through Monday. The airline apologised but blamed the relief plane not reaching the airport on the island's night flight curfew. Night flights are prohibited on Zante as planes pass over a beach where loggerhead turtles nest. The curfew is in place on the island, which is also known as Zakynthos, because the lights and noise can disturb the animals. About a quarter of passengers made it home on alternative flights, and the remaining passengers took off on Tuesday. A spokeswoman for Easyjet said: "Engineers were immediately dispatched to Zante and believed that the technical issue was rectified yesterday [Monday], however it then reoccurred before boarding which meant the flight could not operate. "The safety of our passengers and crew is our highest priority and we will only operate if it is safe to do so. "We do all possible to try and minimise delays and as such planned to send a replacement aircraft. Unfortunately, due to the night curfew rule at the airport, we were unable to get the replacement aircraft into the airport yesterday [Monday]." One passenger, Rebecca Clark, tweeted Easyjet on Monday asking: "Can you let us know what's going on? Day two stuck at Zante airport. Now replacement flight isn't going. No staff coming to see us!" On Tuesday, Mark Longbottom tweeted: "Day 3 - have given up on #easyjet and have been saved by Thompson's though and fly today." A spokeswoman for Easyjet added: "Passengers have been provided with hotel accommodation and expenses in line with EU regulations and will also be entitled to compensation. "We are very sorry for the delay and thank customers for their understanding."

Mr Mnuchin was outlining his experience and qualifications to hold one of the most important jobs in finance. But it was overshadowed by claims that his former bank, OneWest, ruined lives during the US property crash by foreclosing on 36,000 loans. "I have been maligned", the ex-hedge fund boss told the Finance Committee. Mr Mnuchin spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs before leaving in 2002 to set up an investment group and fund Hollywood movies. He led a buyout of IndyMac, whose collapse in 2008 was the second biggest bank failure of the financial crisis. It was renamed OneWest, turned around, and then sold in 2014 for a big profit. But Mr Mnuchin was accused of turning the California bank into a "foreclosure machine" in order to boost profits. Ahead of the hearing, Elizabeth Warren, an anti-Wall Street Democratic senator, set up a forum where former OneWest foreclosure victims could air their complaints. Mr Mnuchin, whose fiancée and children sat behind him, told the committee: "Since I was first nominated to serve as treasury secretary, I have been maligned as taking advantage of others' hardships in order to earn a buck. Nothing could be further from the truth." He said he felt "enormous sympathy" for people who lost their homes "because the system failed them". However, Senator Ron Wyden, the Finance Committee's top Democrat, criticised OneWest for its automated "robo-signing" of foreclosure documents. He also attacked Mr Mnuchin's use of tax havens such as Anguilla and the Cayman Islands to shelter hedge fund profits, questioning his qualifications to oversee a major revamp of tax laws to make them fairer to working Americans. "In Mr Mnuchin's case, millions of dollars in profits from Hollywood exports like the movie 'Avatar' were funnelled to an offshore web of entities and investors," Mr Wyden said. The US treasury secretary is the leading government voice on domestic and international economic policy and one of the key figures shaping US financial strategy. Despite the hearing being dominated by OneWest and Mr Mnuchin's track record, he faced questions on the strength of the US economy and how he would manage Mr Trump's tax and spending plans. In one exchange, Mr Mnuchin said that the Trump administration would follow trade policies to ensure a strong US dollar. "I will enforce trade policies that keep our currency strong on the global exchanges and create and protect American jobs," he said. During questioning Mr Mnuchin said: Anyone hoping to pick up more detail about the Trump administration's economic plans from Mr Mnuchin's hearing may be disappointed. Although matters of policy have been discussed, they were overshadowed by the attempts of Democrats on the committee to shape Mr Mnuchin's image in the public eye. Many of their questions focussed on the ways in Mr Mnuchin benefited from America's housing market collapse which cost so many families their homes, and from the tax loopholes which allow wealthy investors to avoid US tax. That Mr Mnuchin took over a failed bank and also ran a hedge fund is hardly news. But Democratic senators seem determined to make sure that anyone following his confirmation understands that far from being part of a populist movement, to reform and remake US economy, Mr Mnuchin has so far been at the heart of financial system, which enriches the elite and hurts the common people. Sarah Sands, 32, was found guilty of the manslaughter of Michael Pleasted, 77, after learning he had been charged with sexually assaulting young boys. He was stabbed eight times and bled to death, the trial heard. The Court of Appeal ruled the sentence was too lenient and increased it to seven-and-a-half years. Sands was found guilty of his death by reason of loss of control. Pleasted, who had previous convictions, was on bail awaiting trial when he was killed at his Canning Town flat in east London. The original case heard the mother-of-five, who was cleared of murder, had originally befriended Pleasted and taken him food. However, when she found out his past she armed herself with a knife and carried out a "determined and sustained attack" at his flat. After handing herself in, Sands told a police officer the victim had touched some children "so I took care of it - I stabbed him". She told the court she had not intended to hurt Pleasted but he "smirked" when he answered the door and told her the boys were all liars who had ruined his life. During the trial Judge Nicholas Cooke QC said the case was "unique" as Sands had lost control rather than taken the law into her own hands and engage in "vigilante conduct". He said: "This was a case in which the defendant promptly gave herself up to the police in a highly stressed state, never disputed responsibility for the killing as a matter of fact, did not take the opportunity to get rid of evidence and demonstrated remorse." But Sands' sentence was referred by the Attorney General after 30 members of the public complained about its original length. At the time he took into account the fact she was a mother, had shown remorse and had never denied the killing. But the three judges sitting at the Court of Appeal ruled that because Sands had taken a knife with her when she went to Pleasted's flat it meant the starting point for sentencing should have been 10 years. Mitigating factors reduced it to seven-and-a-half years. Pleasted, who also went by the name of Robin Moult, had 24 previous convictions for sexual offences spanning three decades. He was not on the sex offenders register as he committed his offences before it was introduced in 1997. At the time of the attack, Pleasted was on bail awaiting trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court on two charges of sexual assault on two children aged under 13. Officers were also investigating a further allegation he had abused a third boy. Police said the woman in her 70s was hit on the eastbound carriageway of the road at Poulner Hill, shortly before 08:00 BST. The extent of the woman's injuries is unknown. Hampshire Constabulary urged motorists to avoid the area and said the road was expected to be shut from Ringwood for several hours. The road closure has led to long tailbacks stretching about five miles (8km). The optical illusion is not in fact a rainbow according to BBC weather presenter Keeley Donovan, "It is known as a circumzenithal arc," she said, adding: "It is formed when sunlight is refracted through ice crystals rather than raindrops." Photographs of the spectrum of colours spotted on Friday have been shared on social media. One BBC Weather Watcher, Mrs D from Glusburn County Primary School near Keighley, said the children had been delighted to see it. She said: "My class and all the children saw this circumzenithal arc, which appeared just after the Remembrance service we attended in Sutton Park. "The children were very excited to see a smile in the sky." Ms Donovan said the meteorological phenomenon usually forms high up in the sky among the cirrus and cirrostratus clouds. "Although they form fairly frequently, they are usually obscured by layers of clouds beneath, and rarely visible," she added. As well as Pyongyang having a motive for taking serious issue with The Interview, there's a couple of pieces of key evidence the US is now using to pin the blame. However, they're not without flaws. As security researcher Brian Honan put it to me earlier: "I still don't see anything that in a court would convict North Korea beyond reasonable doubt." So let's take a look. First, the FBI says its analysis spotted distinct similarities between the type of malware used in the Sony Pictures hack and code used in an attack on South Korea last year. Suspicious, yes, but well short of being a smoking gun. When any malware is discovered, it is shared around many experts for analysis - any attacker could simply reversion the code for their own use, like a cover version of a song. This has happened in the past - most notably with Stuxnet, a cyber-attack malware believed to have been developed by the US, which was later repurposed by (it is believed) the Russians. So we turn to another, better clue: IP addresses - known to be part of "North Korean infrastructure" - formed part of the malware too. This suggests the attack may have been controlled by people who have acted for North Korea in the past. But what the FBI is very careful not to say is whether it thinks the attack was controlled from within North Korea itself - although in a press conference President Barack Obama did say there was no indication of another nation state being part of the hacking. This is an important detail to pick apart. Experts think it's unlikely, if indeed it was North Korea, that the country could have acted alone. Unnamed US officials quoted by Reuters said the US was considering that people operating out of China, with its considerable cyber-attack capability, may have been involved. Security researcher and former journalist Brian Krebs has quoted his own sources as saying Japan may also be in the picture. A piece of research by computer maker HP released this year noted the presence of North Koreans operating in Japan. "Known as the Chongryon, [they] are critical to North Korea's cyber and intelligence programs, and help generate hard currency for the regime," Mr Krebs wrote in a blog post. Moving on into next year, the attack being attributed to a nation state rather than an independent hacking group is the one glimmer of good news for Sony. There had been serious and mounting rumblings from both former employees and security analysts saying Sony did not take corporate security seriously enough - but words like "unprecedented" will bolster Sony's defence that no amount of security would have prevented what happened. "We have to wait and see what evidence they present later on but often nation states are the easier to blame," said Marc Rogers, a security researcher for Cloudflare, who is sceptical about the extent of North Korea's involvement. "If it is a nation state people shrug their shoulders and say that they couldn't have stopped it. It lets a lot of people off the hook." When the lawsuits come - and at least one has already been filed - Sony's defence will almost certainly be that it did everything it reasonably could. Mr Rogers is one of several security experts to question the use of The Interview as the obvious motive for the hack. It was not until the media made the link, Mr Rogers notes, that the hackers started mentioning the film. Up until that point, it was all about taking on the company, with language that hinted more at a grudge than a political statement. "When you look at the malware it includes bits and pieces from Sony's internal network and the whole thing feels more like someone who had an issue with Sony," Mr Rogers said. "They were dumping some of the most valuable information right at the start almost as if they wanted to hurt Sony." Truth be told, it's extremely difficult to know for sure who is behind any cyber attack. Equally, it's hard to prove who isn't. As well as the evidence cited here, the FBI said "undisclosed intelligence" was the clincher in pinning it to North Korea. We may never know what that information was. Some suggest that billing North Korea as a cyber villain is a convenient foe for the US. Respected technology magazine Wired went as far drawing a comparison between North Korea's cyber "capability", and Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction". As we head into 2015, at least one senior US politician is calling for North Korea to be re-designated as a state sponsor of terrorism. And with the government declaring it a matter of national security, the next thing for the US is to consider its response. President Obama said: "We will respond proportionally, and we will respond in a place and time and manner that we choose." Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC Abortions have decreased 12% in both liberal and conservative-run states. Laws across US states make it harder or easier to obtain contraception or get an abortion. One factor behind the abortion decline is the fall in the teenage pregnancy rate, which reached its lowest mark for decades in 2010. Supporters of abortion rights say the fall in terminations is due to increased access to contraceptives. Opponents says more women are carrying unplanned pregnancies to full term. In Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Oklahoma - states notorious in the US for being aggressively anti-abortion - abortion has dropped 15% since 2010. The situation in liberal states like New York, Washington and Oregon mirrors that trend, even though it is easier to get an abortion in those states. In 2010, the teen pregnancy rate in the US was the lowest it has been in decades, and has continued to drop, which could be one reason for the decrease in abortions. Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life, one group promoting restrictive abortion laws, said the drop is correlated with pregnant women having an "increased awareness of the humanity of [babies] before [they are] born". In Oklahoma, where the rate fell 19% from 2010 to 2013, a new law required women to wait at least 72 hours before receiving an abortion. The state also banned a certain second-trimester procedure that opponents said dismembered the foetus. Tony Lauinger, the chairman of Oklahomans for Life, said these laws helped increase public understanding of what abortion really means. But abortion-rights advocates say strict laws are not needed to lower the abortion rate in the US. "Better access to birth control and sex education are the biggest factors in reducing unplanned pregnancies," said Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Campaigners say intrauterine devices are one form of contraception reducing pregnancy, especially teen pregnancy, at a dramatic rate. An initiative to give the devices free to teenagers helped the Colorado teenage birth rate decline by 40% in less than five years. The BBC sports presenter beat finalists Danny Mac and Louise Redknapp to win the 2016 series. Fifteen contestants had started the competition, with Oduba calling his victory "the most incredible experience of my life". Saturday's final also marked Len Goodman's last appearance as a judge. The final completed the series' run as the most-watched in the programme's 12-year history, with an audience share of 53.5%. Viewing figures peaked at 13.1 million, with an average of 11.8 million people watching. It was a grand final crammed with top-scoring dances from all three contestants. Oduba and Clifton scored the first 40 of the final and topped the leaderboard, with the two other couples taking joint second. But the final decision was down to voters at home. Following Oduba's final dance - a reprise of week four's jive which earned him straight 10s - Goodman called him "the spirit of Strictly", as someone who had entered the series "with no dance background at all". In his victory speech, a tearful Oduba said: "I've learned to dance, I've made a best friend, I've been on the show that I loved for 12 years." The presenter thanked the Strictly production crew and the judges, and told his dance partner: "I love you with all of my heart. I'm so speechless. I just want to say thank you." She told him: "You've become a dancer. You're a dancer." During the live show, each couple performed three dances - their favourite of the series, a showdance and a third chosen by the judges. Hollyoaks star Danny Mac has consistently scored well, and judge Bruno Tonioli called his top-scoring samba "one for the history books". Former Eternal singer Redknapp had been the "most consistent dancer", according to Goodman. This year's other contestants were also there to cheer on the finalists and perform one final group dance which included a reprise of Ed Balls' memorable routine to Psy's Gangnam Style. It was always going to be an emotional night. Not only was it the culmination of 13 weeks of hard work from the finalists and their partners to deliver the fun, fireworks and fancy footwork that has made this year's Strictly the most-watched in its history. But it was also the last time Len Goodman wielded his scoring paddle - the last time we'd hear his "severrrrn!" or "it's a 10 from Len" - in the dance series, having been head judge since it began back in 2004. Emotion was etched on the faces of the professional dancers as they performed a ballroom tribute in his honour. The family party to end all parties On his final appearance, Goodman received a standing ovation from the crowd and his fellow judges. Dancers and contestants from former series paid their tributes. Craig Revel Horwood called him "extraordinary" and a "very good friend". Goodman said: "I will miss everything about the show." Speaking on a special programme to be aired on Friday, host Tess Daly said Strictly had a "family atmosphere" and Goodman was "the daddy". She added: "There's so many favourite Len moments, just working with him every week is such a treat, you know that little sparkle in his eye, that cheeky little glint he has. "I love watching him dance when he comes onto the show at the beginning when we introduce him and he interacts with the audience, he's high fiving them, he's gliding past them, jiving up a storm." Fellow host Claudia Winkleman said Goodman was the "king of all things ballroom and he's basically the king of Strictly". She went on: "He is a master, so everyone totally respects him, both on front of camera but also backstage. "So if Len wanders down and goes, 'Yeah, it was a good lift', everyone goes, 'Oh, Len liked it', because he is unfailingly honest but also incredibly knowledgeable." Goodman's replacement as head judge is yet to be announced. She remembers being taken into police custody in South Wales eight years ago by officers who suspected her mother of possessing drugs. "They didn't explain to me until we got to the police station. And they literally just said 'this is what's going to happen and we're going to do it'." "For someone to just be so horrible and demeaning, I just thought 'well, if I'm meant to respect my elders, aren't my elders meant to respect me'?" she told BBC Radio 5 live Investigates. "And I really didn't feel respected in that situation." No drugs were found on Georgia, now aged 20, or her mother Karen Archer - who was never charged with an offence. South Wales Police said officers admitted they had mistakenly carried out a strip search without an appropriate adult present and two officers had received management action. Karen and Georgia, who live near Swansea, have since been awarded compensation for their ordeal. According to figures released by 13 police forces in England and Wales, more than 5,000 children aged 17 were strip-searched between 2013 and 2015. More than 4,000 of those searches - which are normally used to detect drugs or concealed weapons - were carried out in London by the UK's largest force, the Metropolitan Police. In total across suspects of all age groups, the same 13 forces carried out 113,000 searches in the last three years that involved the removal of more than a suspect's outer clothing - which is the precise definition of a strip-search. 5 live Investigates asked all 45 police forces in the UK for strip-search figures, but only 13 responded with information. As well as the Met, they were Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, City of London, Cambridgeshire, North Wales, Bedfordshire, Nottinghamshire, Cumbria, Essex, Cleveland, Hertfordshire and Lancashire. Source: Home Office code of practice "Marion" - not her real name - says she was handcuffed, pinned to the floor, and had all her clothes cut from her body by female officers at a London police station. She says male officers stood at a nearby open door while she was naked on the floor, before she was later "paraded through the station" in just a paper suit. She was 24 when she had been taken into custody while trying to help a young man she saw being arrested. "I was pinned to the ground with three officers on me. It felt like there were more than that because they were grabbing me from all sides. "They were also talking with male officers who were standing at the open door. They were chatting together about what implements to use on me, like leg restraints, scissors, things like that". Marion said the officers were "making jokes to each other" about the benefits of strapless bras. "They were saying things like, 'there's a good girl' which I found really humiliating. "Once they had me completely naked they put me into a paper suit which didn't do up properly so my breast were exposed and they paraded me like that through the station then dumped me on the floor of another cell." She was subsequently found not guilty of obstruction and two charges of assaulting police officers. The Metropolitan Police said two officers were dealt with under misconduct regulations for failure to maintain adequate records. "The complainant appealed the Met's decision to the IPCC [Independent Police Complaints Commission]. This appeal is currently under consideration," it said. The Met added that 5.1% of children arrested in 2015 were strip-searched compared to 12.2% of adults. It said: "Strip-searching is a vital power in police custody to not only identify and seize evidence but also to ensure the safety and security of all detainees and staff. "Each search must be based on an objective assessment of the need and proportionality to search the person to that extent. Legal safeguards are applied to ensure the welfare needs of the detainee are considered and met." Labour MP Yvette Cooper who chairs the Home Affairs Select Committee, described the figures as "very troubling". "I think this is quite concerning because we know so little about why so many strip-searches are taking place," she said. "It's really distressing for people and I think the thing about a strip-search is, it is so intrusive, for especially if you're talking about children or teenagers. "That's why this should never be done lightly and the police need to understand the impact this can have on individuals and why it has to be justified." The Home Office has set up a working party to establish whether extra safeguards are needed to ensure that strip-searches are being carried fairly and with adequate supervision. A spokesman said it was committed to giving the police the "necessary tools" to do their job. "But the use of all powers warrants proper accountability and transparency. We are currently considering whether additional safeguards are required when police conduct searches requiring the removal of more than outer clothing." As Pope Francis jetted into Nairobi, Kampala and Bangui we were all reminded of the startling figures - Catholicism is growing fastest on the African continent - from 45 million in 1970 to 176 million in 2012. The African churches are fuller and because the commitment to the priesthood in Europe has dwindled, churches in the West are seeing more African priests conducting Mass across European villages and towns. Back in 2012 as the previous pontiff, Benedict XVI, was preparing to stand down, Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper ran the headline: "Wanted: A Pope from Africa." The newspaper observed: "Will there ever be a time when leadership will be entrusted to an African Pope? The world last had an African Pope over 1,500 years ago. There have only been three, and they were not that 'black.'" The Daily Nation was referring to Pope Gelasius I, who died on 19 November 496 AD, and is recorded as having been born in "Roman Africa", which could be anywhere in current North Africa. Three years ago it had been Catholic Africa's fervent hope that Nigeria's Cardinal Francis Arinze, the most senior African in the College of Cardinals, would lead his growing flock in Africa and beyond. But African Catholics have welcomed the age of Francis, grateful over the last week to lap up a bit of the rock and roll papacy - for the Pope proved popular with presidents and lepers and showed an ingenious capacity to do the simple things well. He preached peace and love, as his job demands, and he urged Africa's young to look to their faith in what is becoming a bloody century. Somewhere near Kampala he prayed for 50 men and women martyred 50 years ago when a Ugandan king, worried by the spread of Christianity, killed the converts. Some may have even have offered prayers for the thousands killed across the continent many decades before for refusing to convert. Over in the Central African Republic, where only two years ago Muslims and Christians were tearing themselves apart for power and control, Pope Francis landed on a runway in Bangui that had been turned into a sprawling camp for thousands of displaced Christians. The world at large was worried about his safety. The Pope in Africa: The UN says the conflict in CAR has taken the lives of 6,000 people so far, and the presence of tanks and soldiers went hand-in-hand with altar boys, as acting President Catherine Samba-Panza asked him for "forgiveness" for the country's recent religious violence. Pope Francis told the gathered faithful to foster unity by avoiding "the temptation of fear of others, of the unfamiliar, of what is not part of our ethnic group, our political views or our religious confession". He visited a mosque and shared holy thoughts of peace and brotherhood with an imam. We cannot of course confuse the messenger with the man - or woman - upstairs in whatever heaven we believe in, but even a rock star pontiff will have recognised that the continent has its own set of problems in need of urgent attention. Africa has its share of Catholic presidents, who cling to their ethnic origins narrowly avoiding international sanctions - and who have forgotten the much-mentioned humility of their Pope. Farai Sevenzo: "Women... yearn for larger roles in the running of the Church, even as lay preachers" Moreover, the changing face of Africa and the challenges the continent faces can be seen in her ever youthful population. The young have been dying from jihadist bombs in universities, kidnapped by militants in remote villages and risking death in dangerous boats to cross the Mediterranean in search of opportunity. Since the men with their bibles arrived on African shores one and a half centuries ago, Africans themselves have never been able to quite leave their own ways. Animism and Catholicism have often resided in the same households Yet the Catholic Church has been seen as more tolerant than the modern evangelist churches with their young, snappily dressed prophets. And where they could do nothing for your spirit, the Catholic priests gave you an education. But that history must now tally with the present. The family, the bedrock of Catholic stability, is changing too. African families are being split apart by natural social changes and women in many instances are the heads of their families. They also remain the largest proportion of Catholic congregations, and yearn for larger roles in the running of the Church, even as lay preachers. Then there is the Church's attitude to sex and sexuality - on a continent still at loggerheads over the rights of homosexuals and contraception; in an age where Aids continues to walk amongst the living and the graveyards, the rock star pontiff mentioned neither of these pressing issues. So while the Pope may not be as "black" as some would wish, his brief African visit to three countries will have given spiritual tonic to some and done incumbent presidents no harm. But he still faces the task of dragging his African flock into the 21st Century - along with the Church. More from Farai Sevenzo: Media playback is not supported on this device Flares were thrown on to the pitch and fighting broke out in the stands. The CFF said a "small group of hooligans" had "stolen joy from Croatian fans and the Croatian team". Uefa, European football's governing body, has charged both Croatia and Turkey, the latter for incidents during their match against Spain on Friday. Its control, ethics and disciplinary body will rule on the cases on Monday. Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic has called for a government session to discuss the fan disturbances and the CFF apologised to those in the stadium for Friday's match, the television audience and the Czech Republic team. It said Croatia, and everyone connected with football in the country, had been "disgraced by a group of hooligans that hold nothing Croatian sacred". They had, the statement said, "ruined a beautiful football festival". It added: "The incident is the product of the passivity of the Croatian state, and we have all become hostages of a group of hooligans. "We appeal to the Croatian government, and Uefa as well, to join us in the fight against the hooligans, to finally eradicate this evil that wants to cast a shadow over everything the Vatreni present on the field of play. "Let us start punishing those guilty of a crime, not the victims." Croatia were sanctioned by world governing body Fifa last month because "discriminatory chants" were sung during friendly matches against Israel and Hungary. They must play their next two 2018 World Cup qualifying games behind closed doors. Uefa has brought charges for the setting off of fireworks, the throwing of objects, crowd disturbance and racist behaviour by Croatia fans in Saint-Etienne. Referee Mark Clattenburg halted the match in the 86th minute when flares were thrown on to the pitch from the Croatia end. When the game resumed, Croatia conceded a late penalty to draw 2-2. Team manager Ante Cacic called the supporters who threw flares on to the pitch "sports terrorists". He added: "They are not really Croatia supporters. These people are scary and I call them hooligans." Media playback is not supported on this device The Turkish Football Federation, meanwhile, has been charged with the setting off of fireworks, throwing of objects and field invasion after some of their fans caused trouble during Friday's 3-0 defeat by Spain. Both the Croatian and Turkish federations already face charges in the aftermath of the match between the two sides on 12 June. Russia were given a suspended disqualification and fined 150,000 euros (£119,000) after violent scenes at the game against England on 11 June. Media playback is not supported on this device Here we look at some key questions in light of the latest numbers from the biggest study of its kind in Europe. Richard Conway, 5 live sports news correspondent Media playback is not supported on this device The Premier League has never been richer, with UK and overseas TV deals handing clubs £8.5bn in revenue over three seasons. However, the way the money is divided up between the clubs is one of the most equitable in world football - the ratio between what the champions earned and what the club languishing in 20th place received was just 1.52 to 1 last season. Once variable payments for TV appearances were made, Arsenal emerged as the top earners, collecting £101m, with Aston Villa picking up £66m despite being relegated. The Premier League believes this demonstrates that competitive and financial balance within the league is alive and well. But this season, the new TV deals kicked in - meaning the clubs will earn even more. That has led to concerns over rampant wage inflation among players - but the majority of Premier League clubs have posted operating profits in recent seasons, so as long as the revenue levels are maintained or continue to rise, then big salaries are set to stay. Parachute payments to relegated clubs have also continued in order to help bridge the financial gulf between the Premier League and EFL. Last season payments ranged from £25.9m to recently relegated clubs such as Hull City and QPR through to £10.5m to the clubs relegated three and four years ago who are yet to return, such as Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Reading, Wigan Athletic and Wolves. Natalie Pirks, BBC sports news correspondent After a concerted effort by organisations such as Spirit of Shankly, the Liverpool fans, group, and the Twenty's Plenty campaign, Premier League clubs voted unanimously in March to cap away ticket prices at £30 for the next three seasons. The Premier League says in a statement that it shows "clubs are listening to their fans and working hard to make sure that Premier League football is accessible, as well as competitive and compelling". It does - but fan groups argue that, given the bumper global TV rights deal, they could still do even more. Malcolm Clarke, of the Football Supporters' Federation, put it into context, saying: "If I tell you that with their £8.3bn deal, they could afford in the Premier League to let every single fan in free for every game, and still have as much money as under the previous deal, that gives you an idea of the scale of money they've got." Media playback is not supported on this device For club boards, this is a very real problem; how to maximise their profit without making fans - the lifeblood of the game - feel like they're being taken for a ride. Burnley's chief executive David Baldwin explained to the BBC why they have frozen prices. "We're seeing living costs go up, we're seeing utilities go up at home and fuel going up," he said. "People operate on a budget, so if we can help contribute by being sustainable and at the same time being accessible and affordable to supporters, then that's a win-win for all parties because ultimately you want fans in the ground cheering the team on." And the Premier League agrees, with a spokesperson saying: "Full and vibrant grounds are a significant part of what makes the Premier League a great football competition." But with prices of things such as half-time pies, cups of tea and children's replica shirts on the increase, modern-day football continues to be a season-on-season test of fans' loyalty. Phil McNulty, chief football writer I think there is a growing awareness among fans in the Premier League, which is where I watch games as well as the Champions League, of the sort of money clubs are earning through attendances and the last TV deal. This has certainly made them more switched on to the prices they are paying and making them more willing to speak out when they feel clubs can make things more affordable. In other words, the price of football is now something that is really locked into their consciousness and there is no sign that is going to change. They are less likely to be taken for granted now. I was at a Liverpool game towards the end of last season, and in a general chat with a fan, he was very keen to discuss pricing policy at football matches and how it needed to be controlled. It came after a protest at Anfield in February, when thousands of fans walked out in the 77th minute of Liverpool's game against Sunderland because of plans, later withdrawn, to raise ticket prices to £77. Liverpool's owners scrapped the plan, saying they had been "mistaken". The Liverpool fan I spoke to said this demonstrated supporters still carried power to stop prices getting out of hand. He said: "One thing I can't stand, and there is a banner at Anfield saying the same thing, is when supporters are described as customers - and I don't particularly mean Liverpool when I say that. "We support our club but we're not customers. We can't just take our business elsewhere because prices are too high. It doesn't work like that as a football fan. "We are loyal to the club, and we have an emotional attachment but that doesn't mean we can't make our feelings known when we think something is wrong." Adam Parsons, BBC Newsnight Every time a Premier League TV rights deal is signed, two things happen. Firstly, people whistle and say the figure is incredible - because it is. Secondly, someone predicts that we've reached the ceiling. And that prediction has (almost) always been wrong. Ever since Rupert Murdoch decided that top-flight English football would be the "battering ram" to persuade waverers to become Sky subscribers, money has flooded into football. The last Premier League deal was worth more than £8bn, a huge increase on the previous deal. Why? Well, TV companies see football as a way to persuade big audiences to maintain a subscription. And advertisers like football, too - just look at the expensive ads that crop up at half-time. And subscriptions and adverts are what subsidises those huge rights deals. Recently, though, viewing figures have dipped, which might suggest the price would come down. But the field of bidders seems to be getting wider - Sky may face competition from BT, Amazon, Discovery, ESPN and others next time around, while the global and internet rights are sure to rise, too. I'd be surprised if we've reached a ceiling. Adam Parsons, BBC Newsnight It's hard to see how the Football League can get to mega levels. Yes, the number of companies bidding for content has gone up - and English football is certainly a draw. It's easy to imagine the likes of Discovery or ESPN wanting to bid for Championship matches, but they won't pay anything like the money that goes to the Premier League. Brighton and Hove Albion have a turnover of about £24m at last measure - that's about the same as Manchester United generate in a fortnight. The Football League TV deal is a fraction of the Premier League's. But if you're an aspiring Championship billionaire, here's a thought. Wolves have signed a deal this season to broadcast 10 of their games on a Chinese pay-per-view broadcast channel. Yes, Wolves are owned by a Chinese company, but what's notable here is that they've done their own deal, away from the league's collective bargaining agreement. If that catches on, it might generate more money - but it could also widen the gap between the Championship's rich and not-so-rich teams. Adam Parsons, BBC Newsnight According to the club's website, Manchester United now have 25 official partners. The most r`ecent name to add to the list was a company called Mlily, which became United's official global pillow and mattress partner. And yes - in football, we now have partners, not sponsors. There is no team in Britain to touch United when it comes to making money. The club's commercial income was £260m last year, enhanced by a kit deal from Adidas that pays around £75m per year. The club's commercial tentacles have crept around the world and, for all the abuse that has come their way, the impetus for that has come from the arrival of the Glazer family a decade ago. They brought with them a very American focus on marketing, which has now become commonplace in England's top tier. So Watford have an official foreign exchange trading partner; Arsenal have an official Indonesian telecommunications partner and just about everyone has an official betting partner. Manchester City have 35 official partners, including a phone company in Cameroon. And that's where the future lies. As the Premier League's popularity grows around the world, the commercial opportunities will grow in tandem. China and South-East Asia are seen as huge market - but it may not be an equal battle. Clubs with established reputations, notably Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, will find it easier to sign big-money deals than anyone else.

The Warriors head coach told BBC Scotland that the fly-half, 23, should be back training later this month. "He sees a lot of specialists every week and they've been really pleased by how he's progressing," said Townsend. "He was in yesterday and he's taking things step-by-step." However, Townsend cannot at this stage of the rehabilitation put a date on the Scotland cap's return to action. "We don't expect Finn to be back in training for another few weeks," Townsend said. "He's in great spirits, we expect him to make a full recovery and we'll see him back playing sometime next season." There had been concerns over whether Russell would be able to return to competitive rugby, such was the severity of the injury. He was carried off on a stretcher early in last month's defeat by eventual tournament winners Connacht. And Russell, capped 19 times by Scotland, will miss the national team's summer tour to Japan. "We've got doctors who've been involved in sport for a number of years who haven't seen such a clash of heads," Townsend said. "But it's testament to the work of our staff, those of Connacht and the medical staff in Ireland who helped us out for the first few days, that he has made a full recovery. "I'm sure he'll be itching to play again very soon." Media playback is not supported on this device Alan Stubbs' side took the lead when Jason Cummings struck midway through the first half. Rocco Quinn fired in for the Buddies amid claims of offside from the visitors but the goal stood, leaving the sides level at the break. Lawrence Shankland's shot turned the match in St Mirren's favour only for Farid El Alagui to level for Hibs. The Easter Road side are now six points behind second-placed Falkirk and 20 off leaders Rangers. However, Hibs have three games in hand over the Bairns and have played two games fewer than Rangers, who can clinch the title and promotion with one more win. Stubbs' men started brightly in Paisley and Cummings latched on to John McGinn's threaded pass to palce an effort underneath Jamie Langfield. Quinn found space in the penalty area and steered his effort home from close range, to the dismay of the Hibs defenders hoping for the flag to be raised. Shankland drilled his effort low into the bottom corner to put the Buddies ahead for the first time and went close again soon after when he blasted over from the edge of the area. Anthony Stokes tested Langfield before setting up El Alagui for the equaliser in the penultimate minute. The referee stopped the fight in round 10 on the advice of the doctor and 25-year-old Blackwell remained in an induced coma on Sunday night. Watson suffered brain damage in 1991 after a fight with Chris Eubank Sr. "It was a real sense of deja vu as the story unfolded. I went down memory lane in many senses," said Watson. On Monday, Blackwell's family released a statement thanking the public for their messages of support, but gave no update on the boxer's condition. The British Board of Boxing Control said it is satisfied with referee Victor Loughlin's handling of Saturday's bout. At the end of the eighth round, Eubank Sr told his son to aim his shots at Blackwell's body rather than his head. It is unclear whether his instructions were tactical or designed to protect the defending champion from further harm. "If the referee doesn't stop it, then I don't know what to tell you," Eubank Sr told his son. "But I will tell you this: if he doesn't stop it and you keep on beating him like this, one, he is getting hurt, two, if it goes to a decision, why hasn't the referee stopped the fight? I don't get why. "So maybe you shouldn't leave it to the referee. But you are not going to take him out to the face. You are going to take him out to the body. OK?" Two rounds later, Blackwell was deemed unable to continue because of swelling over his left eye and was later taken from the ring on a stretcher. He suffered a bleed to the brain but surgeons were not planning to operate on him. Watson, 51, was critically injured in a WBO super-middleweight title fight against Eubank Sr in September 1991. There was no ambulance or doctor at that fight and it was several minutes before Watson received any treatment. He spent 40 days in a coma and had six brain operations, leaving him with irreparable brain damage and partially paralysed. "Chris and Nick were involved in a very tough fight, and it was a very sad thing to see Nick hurt at the end and then to hear what has happened to him after the fight," Watson told the Telegraph. "We, as boxers, step into the ring knowing there are risks. But it is the same for a racing car driver, the same for any other sport which involves hard contact. It is one of those things that can happen in sport and life. "I went through a lot when it happened to me and it makes me feel happy that what I went through led to a change in the medical provision laid out for boxers. "Young Chris need not blame himself for what has happened. It was not his intention to bring harm to his opponent, as strange as that sounds. It was an accident. "I have been praying for Nick and his family, and for them to have great strength. It is a very tough time for them. It was for my family. I truly hope that everything works out for him." The 55-year-old replaces Mark Yates, who was sacked on Monday following a run of six successive defeats. Drummy has signed a two-year contract with the option of a further year, and will be assisted by former Aldershot Town coach Matt Gray. "I look forward to giving our fans winning football that will also entertain them," Drummy said. Crawley were bought by Ziya Eren last month and the Turkish businessman has targeted reaching the Championship in eight to 10 years. The Reds sit 18th in the table, 14 points clear of the relegation zone with two games of the campaign remaining. After spending the bulk of his playing career in non-league, Drummy became a coach in Arsenal's youth set-up before moving to Chelsea in 2007. He was in charge of the Blues' Under-21 side and then had a spell as the Premier League club's international coach. Eren said the Londoner would bring "top-level experience and vital recruitment knowledge" to the club. "We wish him all the best for a long and successful tenure," he told the club website. "We look forward to an exciting new chapter in the history of Crawley Town." However, Dennis Hutchings, who was a colour sergeant at the time, will not face an attempted murder trial. Mr Hutchings was the most senior soldier in a patrol which opened fire on John Pat Cunningham near the village of Benburb in June 1974. Although 27, Mr Cunningham had the mental age of a child aged six to 10. He also had an apparent fear of men in uniform: He ran away from the patrol and was shot in the back. Three shots were fired from Mr Hutchings' rifle, but it has never been proven that any of them killed, or even hit, Mr Cunningham. Mr Hutchings had potentially faced a charge of attempted murder, but the district judge ruled that a jury could not conclude beyond reasonable doubt that he was guilty and decided he should not go for trial on that count. He was arraigned on the charge of attempted GBH with intent to Belfast Crown Court on a date yet to be fixed. Ricky Shakes opened the scoring against the run of play in the 64th-minute and the hosts sealed the win late on with a classic counter-attack finished off by Bruno Andrade. The Imps dominated the first half as Nathan Arnold went close twice inside the opening quarter of an hour and winger Josh Ginnelly tested keeper Grant Smith with a couple of decent efforts before curling a shot just wide six minutes before the break. Lincoln were well on top when Shakes broke the deadlock and the Wood completed the win when Morgan Ferrier got the better of Sean Raggett and squared for Andrade to seal the points 10 minutes from time.

That rarity occurred when Captain Peter Kelleher, a soldier from Cork, re-read the 1916 proclamation of Irish independence outside Dublin's GPO. Social media went on hold in the crowd. The 'selfies' stopped. There was a Twitter ceasefire. It was a re-enactment of history, 100 years after the actual event. Watching it happen had a profound effect on many people in the crowd. "That's why I came home this weekend, to be able to hear that today," said Helen Healy, a Dubliner who went to live in London 30 years ago. She brought her husband and teenage son too. One young boy in the crowd came not just with his family, but a gun. He pointed it at me. "It's not a real one," he assured me, with a smile. When the Twitter truce ended, I tweeted a picture of him. There was a measured reaction from some quarters. "Remember the fallen, but please don't glorify," came one reply. For anyone squeamish about the sight of weaponry, it was not a good day to be on the streets of Dublin. The centenary parade was dominated by the tanks and guns of the Irish army. So why was it primarily a military parade rather than a civic parade? "One of the reasons is we wanted to send out the message that the real descendants of the 1916 volunteers are not the various republican paramilitary groups," said one Dublin politician. "There's only one real army in Ireland." Among those watching the Irish nation commemorate the 1916 rebellion against British rule, was the current British ambassador in Dublin, Dominick Chilcott. He had a front-row seat outside the GPO. So was he sitting a little uncomfortably? No, he said afterwards, adding: "Today had a very inclusive feel to it." The ceremony was not just to remember the rebels, but everyone killed during the Easter Rising. Indeed, among the relatives of the dead were the descendants of 23-year-old policeman Charles McGee from County Donegal who was shot during the rebellion. For decades, his relatives felt embarrassed talking about him. The prevailing public mood in the Republic of Ireland was that if you were not on the side of the rebels, you were one of the bad guys. However, his grand-niece Madge O'Boyle was among the guests invited to the GPO ceremony. "Charles is not one of the forgotten victims. Not any more," she said gratefully. Unionist leaders from Stormont were invited but decided not to attend. Apart from that, the event took place with barely a hitch. Even the weather was kind. Now Irish politicians will turn their attention to trying to form a new coalition government. "That could take another 100 years," said one weary Dubliner. Striker Gray, 24, was named the best player in England's second tier at the Football League Awards on Sunday. On Saturday, he scored his 22nd goal of the season for the Clarets as they won 2-1 at Birmingham to stay second, two points behind leaders Middlesbrough. "Awards mean nothing to me," said Gray speaking after Burnley's win at St Andrews. "The only award that means anything to me is that automatic Championship medal. "Whether we do it as champions, which we want to do, or we do it as runners up we want to do that and that's what means the most to me. Everything else comes as an icing on the cake." Gray moved to Burnley from Brentford at the start of the season as boss Sean Dyche attempted to return to the top flight at the first attempt. "I don't see what the pressure is," added Gray. "We've chosen to do this job and that's what we came here for. "A lot of people are forced to do a job to pay the bills, they're forced to work for someone they don't want to and I think that's pressure. "The dream is getting to the Premier League and that's my dream as well. "It's not pressure, it's our job and it's what we enjoy. If you're not enjoying it then I don't see what the point in doing it is." Sir Philip said the chairman of a Commons inquiry into BHS's collapse had shown "shocking behaviour". Mr Field had said the whole BHS episode gave the impression that business was about "nicking money off other people". Sir Philip hit back: "Accusing me and my family of theft is totally false and unacceptable on any basis." The Work and Pensions Committee and the Business Committee have been holding a joint inquiry into the collapse of BHS, which has left a hole in the pension fund and up to 11,000 job losses. Sir Philip sold the department store chain to Dominic Chappell's company Retail Acquisitions for ??1 last March. But Sir Philip has come under scrutiny for the ??400m in dividends taken out of the firm during his 15-year ownership, his management of the pension scheme, and his decision to sell the business to former racing car driver and bankrupt Mr Chappell, who had no retail experience. During the hearing on Wednesday, Paul Budge, the finance director of Sir Philip's Arcadia Group, repeatedly refused to blame the billionaire retail tycoon for the department store chain's collapse, prompting Mr Field's anger. Mr Field expressed his exasperation at his refusal to pinpoint blame as well as pledges that Sir Philip would "fix" the pension problem at BHS, which had a ??571m deficit when the retailer collapsed. "We're fed up of hearing 'I'm about to fix it'. He does not fix it. What's required is a very large cheque from the Green family who have done so well out of the whole of this. "The city is furious with your behaviour, the image you put over is that everybody in business is not about creating jobs, about spreading wealth but it's about nicking money off other people. "Sir Philip could fix this today if he was serious," he said. Sir Philip's was scathing in response, saying in a emailed statement: "Mr Field's outrageous outburst today demonstrated yet again his clear prejudice against myself, my wife and my executives, who turned up for a second time." "He arrived very late, offered no apology, heard no evidence, clearly just to put on a ten minute show and was extremely rude. Accusing me and my family of theft is totally false and unacceptable on any basis." "The committee was yesterday made fully aware of the fact that a solution for the BHS pension funds is being worked on. His behaviour is as far as you can get from being helpful to anyone in this situation. "Mr Field needs to apologise for his shocking and offensive behaviour." The MP and Sir Philip have had a long-running feud, with the Monaco-based businessman accusing Mr Field of bias and conducting a "trial by media". Sir Philip originally refused to appear before the hearing earlier this month unless Mr Field resigned as chairman. He eventually relented saying it "would be the first and only opportunity I have had to tell my side of the very sad BHS story." In Wednesday's hearing, MPs also quizzed three Goldman Sachs executives including the bank's vice chairman Michael Sherwood who has been described as the "gatekeeper" for the sale of BHS to Dominic Chappell's Retail Acquisitions last March. Mr Sherwood - an adviser to Sir Philip for more than a decade - rejected the description, saying the the deal did not pass the bank's "sniff test", and repeating its previous claims that the deal was "too small" for it to provide anything more than preliminary observations. The statement appears to contradict ex-BHS owner Sir Philip Green's claim that he "one million per cent" would not have sold the retailer to Mr Chappell if it had not passed the bank's informal vetting. Mr Sherwood also said the bank was not paid for the work it did on the deal. "Our role was extremely limited," Mr Sherwood said. Asked by MPs if he accepted any blame for the chain's subsequent collapse, Mr Sherwood answered "absolutely not". He said his one regret was that the firm had not "documented more clearly our role in writing so we would not have had the subsequent confusion we are gong through today". The bankers said they provided a range of services to Sir Philip, including helping to manage his family's wealth, which Goldman Sachs has done since 2008. However, Mr Sherwood said the bank was now reviewing its relationship with Sir Philip "as all this has come to pass". Asked if that meant Goldman Sachs would not work again for the retail tycoon, Mr Sherwood said it depended on the nature of the deal. 'Earlier this month, administrator Duff & Phelps, which took control of BHS in April, was forced to admit defeat in its attempts to find a buyer for the department store It blamed "seismic shifts" in the retail sector for the collapse of the chain. The stores are now in the process of being wound down. In a community nutrition centre in a suburb of Antsirabe - one of the main towns in the central highlands region of Madagascar - two little girls, just under three-and-a-half years old, have come for a check-up. When Jiana and Rova stand near each other the difference between the two is shocking. Rova is a full head shorter than Jiana. She weighs just 60% of Jiana's weight and looks so much more fragile. The staff at the centre suspect Rova could be suffering from chronic malnutrition. Like many developing countries, Madagascar has a problem with this form of malnutrition. Almost half of children under five are affected. The central highlands region, however, presents a particular paradox when it comes to chronic malnutrition. The area has fertile soils and produces masses of food. Poverty and sanitation indicators are not the worst in the country and the healthcare infrastructure is relatively good. Yet the central highlands - the area of Madagascar which includes the capital Antananarivo - have the highest rates of child chronic malnutrition in the country. How this can be is a question that experts like Simeon Nanama, head of nutrition at the UN children's agency Unicef in Madagascar, are urgently trying to answer. "We are here facing a dilemma that we all want to understand," Mr Nanama said. "In some of these regions 60% of the kids are affected." Chronic malnutrition is different to acute malnutrition. A child suffers acute malnutrition when there is a severe lack of food. Children with acute malnutrition are very thin and sometimes have swollen abdomens and limbs. The outward signs of chronic malnutrition are not as easy to spot and this type of malnutrition is mainly caused by a lack of essential nutrients. Children with chronic malnutrition are of course smaller and thinner than other children the same age, but otherwise they can look quite healthy. The tragic thing about chronic malnutrition is that it has long-term effects on children's brain development. Miora Randriamamonjy, Jiana's mother, knows children who have suffered from chronic malnutrition at a young age will not do as well at school and will not be as productive as adults, even if their living conditions improve later in life. Her eyes well up with tears when she talks about how powerless she feels about the situation. She says she only has just enough resources to look after her own children. "It's so sad and I can't do anything about it. They are just kids," she said. Mr Nanama wants to understand more, so he can put money into the areas that would make the most impact. But at the moment he says they need to continue investigating. He's hoping a report due soon will shed some light on the issue. In the meantime, there are all sorts of theories about what could be the main factors behind the high rates of chronic malnutrition in the central highlands. They range from the type of meals families prepare, and lack of childcare, to the fact that so much food produced in the region is transported to the capital, Antananarivo, for sale there. One theory that I heard from a few different people during my visit to the area was that too many people farm land owned by others, rather than having the resources to work their own plots. Vololona Ranaivoson is the community nutrition agent for the village of Ambalapaiso about 20km (12 miles) outside Antsirabe. "People don't have the money to buy the things they need to farm themselves and the things they need to live at the same time," she said. On top of this, she said there the problem of access to farmland. If this is the reason some children are shorter than others, then eradicating stumped growth will not be simple.

Peter Morgan, 54, of Llanellen, Monmouthshire, is on trial at Newport Crown Court for the murder of Georgina Symonds, 25. He denies the charge. The jury was shown a video of Mr Morgan being questioned by detectives. In it, he broke down and said: "I can't take it. I have to tell you. I strangled her this morning." He went on to tell police: "I loved her so much. I just want to tell you the truth about what happened." The court has heard how Mr Morgan paid Miss Symonds, from the Allt-yr-yn area of Newport, up to £10,000-a-month to be his personal escort. The married father-of-two was arrested on suspicion of murder in January and asked if he killed Miss Symonds. The court heard he told detectives: "Yes. I don't know why I done it." He said he did not like "being blamed for the reason she lost her ex-partner". "I thought if I can't sort it out, I'm going to kill her. I don't know why I thought that. I honestly don't know what made me do it. "I got a piece of plastic from my house and some string and I wanted her to stop blaming me." The court heard Mr Morgan said he did not know "what I was planning on doing" and whether he "wanted to frighten her". "I arrived and we sorted a few bits out and I told her we need to sort out where we're going. She started blaming me again and saying it was my fault," he told detectives. "I put the cord around the neck and strangled her." The court has previously heard from Miss Symonds' best friend Alexy Butcher, who said she had been "very depressed" over the death of her ex-boyfriend and "tried to take her own life". She said: "Peter Morgan was helping her with her grief as much as he could but she blamed him. She wasn't very nice to him." In the police video, Mr Morgan described killing Miss Symonds and hiding her body in his white Porsche Cayenne. He said: "I put her in the back of my car. The two boys who work for me came down. We put the bath in, loaded the motorbikes and rubbish on and we left. "I hadn't really planned what I was going to do. I went back to the farm and put her body behind the workbench and went back to work. "The worrying thing is I didn't feel any guilt at the time." Earlier, workman Mark Powell told the court Mr Morgan appeared "fine" just minutes after he is alleged to have murdered Miss Symonds. "He pulled around in his Porsche. He got out and was making jokes. He was teasing me about doing nothing," Mr Powell said. Mr Morgan denies murder because of diminished responsibility due to Asperger's syndrome. The trial continues.

A millionaire businessman confessed to strangling his escort girlfriend and told police "I didn't think I could do it - I loved her", a court has heard.

The bloc's executive body is planning a sanction of €250,000 (£200,000; $290,000) per person. The Commission wants changes made to an asylum system which has buckled amid an influx of migrants. The plans would require support from most member states as well as MEPs. EU officials hope that, twinned with a deal with Turkey that has already reduced migrant numbers, tensions over migration within the bloc can be reduced. The basic Dublin regulation would be kept, requiring refugees to claim asylum in the member state in which they arrive. However, there would be several changes, including plans to help countries receiving "disproportionate numbers" of asylum claims. The EU already has a flagship scheme to redistribute 160,000 migrants around the continent, but it has met only a tiny fraction of this target since it was agreed in 2015. The planned figure of €250,000 per refused claimant could be revised but the Commission is known to want a punitive level. The UK and Ireland can opt out of asylum policies, and the British government has already indicated it will not take part. Denmark is also exempt. Under the fresh proposals, if a country receives more than 150% of its annual "fair share" of asylum seekers, the relocation scheme would kick in. That share is calculated according to a country's population and economy. "There's simply no way around it: whenever a member state is overwhelmed, there must be solidarity and a fair sharing of responsibility within the EU," Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans said. Countries refusing to accept their quota would effectively be fined - with the money going to frontline states such as Italy and Greece that have carried the burden. The proposals for sanctions alarmed Central European countries that have refused to implement the refugee quota deal: The four countries were outvoted when the quota plan was agreed. Poland had agreed to take some 7,000 asylum seekers and could face a fine of at least €1.75bn if the proposal goes through. Hungary's government on Tuesday announced plans for a referendum on the EU's resettlement plans. The Dublin regulation is designed to stop what has become known as "asylum shopping", whereby migrants make multiple asylum claims across Europe. Since 2005, the UK has used the Dublin rule to return 12,000 asylum seekers to where they first entered the EU. But the migration crisis has exposed flaws in the policy, leaving Greece and Italy dealing with the majority of cases. Germany effectively suspended the Dublin rule last August, when it said it would take in all Syrian asylum seekers, prompting an influx of migrants and refugees into the EU via Greece and the Western Balkans. The numbers travelling the route fell when countries along the way set up fences or imposed border controls, but that has left some 50,000 migrants and refugees stranded in Greece. The Commission says a European Union Agency for Asylum should be set up to oversee fairness within the overhauled rules. There would be "stronger guarantees" for unaccompanied children seeking asylum as well as a change in the way family members are viewed when seeking refugee status. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

The European Commission has proposed reforms to EU asylum rules that would see stiff financial penalties imposed on countries refusing to take their share of asylum seekers.

The party said the policy would "ensure the Welsh economy can benefit" from the talents of Welsh graduates. The Welsh government currently pays up to £5,190 a year towards Welsh students' fees wherever they go. Plaid claims that system effectively subsidises universities in England. Tuition fees are likely to be a major dividing line between the parties at May's assembly election. The Conservatives have already said they would scrap the current grant system altogether. Students from Wales currently only pay £3,810 towards their tuition fees, wherever they study in the UK. The rest, up to £5,190 a year, is paid for by the Welsh government. Education Minister Huw Lewis has suggested Labour will continue the fee policy if it wins the election in May, but hinted grants may be means-tested. Plaid's education spokesman Simon Thomas said: "The Party of Wales wants everyone to be able to study any subject and in any university they want to. "But the current tuition fee policy means we give more money to universities outside of Wales than we do inside of Wales. "This is unsustainable and Plaid Cymru believes that this is wrong. "Our plans will enable students from Wales to study anywhere they want, and will ensure that the Welsh economy can benefit from the talent of Welsh students." Plans to create 50,000 apprenticeships and boost early years education are also included in a Plaid Cymru package of education, skills and training for people "from cradle to career".

Students who stay in Wales to work after completing their studies, or return home to work after graduation, should have £6,000 a year of debts written off, Plaid Cymru has said.

Connor Sparrowhawk suffered an epileptic fit while in a bath at Slade House in Oxford in July 2013. Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust eventually admitted responsibility and offered his family compensation. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) told the BBC it will now prosecute the trust. Following the announcement, Mr Sparrowhawk's mother Sara Ryan said: "I still feel really sad about it. "I just feel we've been put through the mill. We have been treated appallingly and a young man should be doing whatever he would be doing right now. "He should never have died." The HSE said it was prosecuting the trust "under Section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 following its investigation into the death of a patient under its care". A jury-led inquest in October 2015 found that "failings" by trust staff contributed to Connor's death. The trust's boss Katrina Percy resigned in October amid public pressure. Slade House closed in 2014 and the building is being transferred to Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. Andrew Smith, the former MP for Oxford East who is not standing at the next election, said: "I was pleased to learn this news just as my time as MP was ending." Southern Health provides mental health services to patients across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It is also facing prosecution over alleged failings at Melbury Lodge, Royal Hampshire County Hospital, where a patient sustained serious injuries during a fall from a low roof.

The National Human Rights Commission said the violence was an organised bid to drive Hindu people from their homes and grab their land. The violence was sparked after a Hindu fisherman allegedly mocked a holy site in Mecca on Facebook. Police now say the image was not uploaded from his mobile phone. They instead suspect it was uploaded from the cyber cafe in question, local media report. While the attacks started in Brahmanbaria district, incidents have been reported from all around Muslim-majority Bangladesh. Dozens of people were arrested earlier this month in connection with the worst attacks, which targeted numerous temples and more than 100 homes on 30 October. More than 100 people were injured, reports said, and an arson attack destroyed the house of a local leader of the governing Awami League, who is a Hindu. Correspondents say attacks on Hindus and other religious minorities in Bangladesh are not uncommon, but the scale of the recent violence is unusual. More homes were attacked on 4 November in the same district. Rasraj Das, a fisherman, was arrested over the Facebook post that triggered the violence, and later released on bail. The image posted was of the Kaaba, one of the holiest sites in Islam, along with a Hindu deity. Police now say that an investigation has determined the photo was not uploaded from Mr Das's phone and he has been cleared. Instead, it is suspected that the image was uploaded to Rasraj Das' Facebook account from the cyber cafe in Nasirnagar, a sub-district of Brahmanbaria, according to the Dhaka Tribune. Many secular writers and bloggers have been killed in Bangladesh in recent years, in attacks blamed on Islamist militants. The body of Katy Rourke, who was from Broughty Ferry, Dundee, was found at the flat in Minto Street, in Craigton, at about 17:05 on Wednesday. Police Scotland said a 26-year-old man had been arrested and was detained in police custody. He was expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 2 January. A report will be sent to prosecutors.

David Marshall, 68, of Birks Street in the city, admitted murdering Eni Mevish, 20, who was found injured in Cauldon Road, Shelton, in Stoke-on-Trent, in November. Mr Marshall also admitted the wounding of a 22-year-old man at Wolverhampton Crown Court. Police have said both victims had been stabbed. Sentencing is due to take place at Stafford Crown Court on 10 April. The murder victim was a crime science student at the university. But with fridges bursting and a never-ending supply of leftovers to use up, how do you avoid the unwelcome guest of food poisoning making an appearance? It's party time; you've got friends coming round; the booze is flowing faster than the tears on Strictly and you've laid out a buffet that would put Nigella or Jamie to shame. Kevin Hargin, director of food-borne disease control at the Food Standards Agency (FSA) says: "The spread is out on the table all evening getting nice and warm - the bugs are having a great time in the salad dressings, the quiches and so on. "The best idea is to only put out the food when you need, don't leave it out all the time." Plus you don't want to be remembered for hosting the party that ruined Christmas #mortified. Campylobacter - This is the most common cause. The bacteria are usually found in raw or undercooked meat (particularly poultry), unpasteurised milk and untreated water. Salmonella - Raw eggs, milk and other dairy products - plus undercooked meat again - can play host to the salmonella bacteria. Listeria - This can live in chilled ready-to-eat foods, like pre-packed sandwiches, cooked sliced meats and pate, plus soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert. All should be eaten by their sell-by-dates to be on the safe side, and pregnant women need to be especially careful, since a listeria infection can cause pregnancy and birth complications - and even miscarriage. E. coli - Most cases of E. coli poisoning happen after eating undercooked beef (particularly mince, burgers and meatballs, or drinking unpasteurised milk. It's the star of the show on the day - but it's probably the only turkey (or duck, or goose) that you cook all year. "People are not used to cooking turkey or anything of that size," says Kevin. Defrosting a 6-7kg bird can take three days if you do it in the fridge so give it plenty of time. And if your bird has an icy core then it might not cook properly in the oven, running the risk of having a bit of Salmonella or Campylobacter making it onto the plate. You'll also want the juices to run hot, steamy and clear to know the bird is cooked. Christmas is time for something to step out of the shadows and become the hero it was born to be. I am of course talking about your freezer - Hollywood is calling already. Kevin again: "People tend to order and prepare far more than they're ever going to eat, so there's a lot of leftovers and people think you can't freeze that. "But that's one of the big myths. It's safe to freeze the leftover turkey so you could bring it out again at New Year." But when you do defrost, gobble [ahem] it up within 24 hours. Follow James on Twitter. The 31-year-old died in police custody in May after an incident in a Kirkcaldy street. Mr Bayoh's family claim they were given five versions of what happened to him. The Lord Advocate will now consider the contents of the report. PIRC said it would continue to pursue evidence. A spokesman for PIRC said: "The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner has now submitted an interim report to the Crown Office on its independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Sheku Bayoh on 3 May 2015. "Our team of experienced and skilled investigators have gathered evidence, taken statements from witnesses and recovered productions and continue to investigate complex lines of inquiry. "The Commissioner will continue to pursue further expert evidence in relation to the cause of death and is working closely with the Crown Office in this regard. "The Lord Advocate is now considering the interim report." The 25th series of the show - due to air in spring 2018 - will see LeBlanc return to host alongside Rory Reid and Chris Harris. "I think we've tried to broaden the demographic of the show," the presenter said. "Try to make it not lose the petrolhead nature of it but maybe open it up to people who aren't so petrolheady. "Expand the comedy, try to have bigger, broader films, but it will be more of the same in the sense it starts with the car." LeBlanc will return to the UK in the coming weeks to shoot footage for the show - so far he's been filming in Norway, France, Italy and California. "It will be closer to what it was last year versus the season before," he added. The most recent series was more popular with critics than the one before it - which saw Chris Evans on hosting duties. Evans hadn't been popular with viewers and he left the show after fronting one series. But LeBlanc declined to discuss viewing figures, which have generally been lower since the departure of previous hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. The trio moved to Amazon Prime to start the Grand Tour after Clarkson punched a producer. He later apologised after settling a £100,000 racial discrimination and injury claim. BBC Two controller Patrick Holland has previously said Top Gear's last series drew a "much healthier" audience and it should not be compared to the Clarkson era, which was a "completely different" show. The BBC has also said that younger audiences rated the most recent series "far higher" than they did previous ones. LeBlanc was speaking from Los Angeles as he promoted the last series of Episodes, the comedy he stars in alongside Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig. The 50-year-old said it will be hard to leave behind the show, which has been a "inspiring, magic, special journey". Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

He said he would "make every effort both publicly and privately to see this grave injustice brought to an end". He appealed for fresh information. The documentary, shown on BBC Northern Ireland and RTÉ on Monday, featured interviews with relatives of those who had been murdered. After the programme was broadcast, the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains said it was appealing for new information "in a spirit of common human decency". This was echoed by the Sinn Féin MP, who described it as a "humanitarian issue". "I understand that these killings happened decades ago and those involved may be dead, may not have been active in republicanism since that time or indeed may well be hostile to Sinn Féin and the peace process," said Mr McGuinness. "But despite these difficulties, I do believe that we must continue efforts to see a positive resolution for the families." He added: "Those who seek to make political capital out of these terrible and tragic events will only dissuade them." Mr McGuinness was speaking after the group set up to obtain information on where the bodies are buried issued a fresh appeal. The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remain said the documentary had demonstrated "once again the dreadful burden that the families of the Disappeared have had to bear for so long". "Theirs is a tale of tragedy and denial - the tragedy of the loss of a loved one and the denial of their right to bury their loved ones decently and to have a place to grieve," it said. Commissioners Frank Murray and Sir Ken Bloomfield said their work did not involve seeking prosecutions but was only aimed at addressing "the hurt and disappointment that the families of the Disappeared have endured for decades". They said information could be given to the commission in "guaranteed confidence". The commission was established in 1999 by a treaty between the British and Irish governments. It lists 16 people as "disappeared". Despite extensive searches, the remains of seven of them have not been found. Meanwhile, Traditional Unionist Voice leader Jim Allister has criticised a refusal by the assembly's Speaker to allow a "matter of the day" debate on the documentary's findings as it did not meet the criteria. Mr Allister said: "It seems that once again anything that could possibly embarrass Sinn Féin and upset the cosy cabal cannot be raised on the 'Hill'. "It can be debated on the Nolan Show but not in Stormont." The issue was raised in the Irish parliament by Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, who described the programme as "harrowing". Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams, who in the documentary repeatedly rejected allegations he was involved in the disappearance of mother-of-10 Jean McConville in 1972, said the programme should be a "huge motivation for anyone who has any information whatsoever to bring it forward". In response to the North Louth TD, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny said he hoped the programme "stimulates active minds to make their information available". "The fact of the matter is that somebody ordered that Jean McConville be murdered, somebody instructed that people take her away, somebody instructed the late Dolours Price to drive that vehicle across the border and somebody instructed that what happened took place," he said. "It may well be that those people are still around and they know what happened; your own appeal from this house may well have some effect and I hope it has. "For others who disappeared in a similar fashion, if they are laid to rest in tragic circumstances in County Meath or County Monaghan, there are people who know what happened to them as well." They are angry that the NHS is considering merging Scotland's two facilities, in the east and west, into one clinic based in Glasgow. The Cleft Lip and Palate Association has called for more detail about why the move to a single centre is needed. The Scottish government said no final decisions have been made. Almost 100 babies are born every year in Scotland with a cleft lip or palate. Surgery can help them talk and eat. Scotland has two clinics - in Edinburgh and Glasgow - which specialise in these surgical procedures. A public consultation is currently taking place about plans to merge them into one surgical centre, based at the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. Parents opposed to the plan have started a petition and gathered more than 3,500 signatures. They argue the service in Glasgow has poorer results but senior NHS managers have insisted the single-handed surgical service in Edinburgh is not sustainable. A public consultation meeting is being held in Edinburgh later, with another due to take place in Glasgow on Thursday. The Cleft Lip and Palate Association, a voluntary organisation offering advice and support to those affected by the condition, said it was important that the views of patients were heard in the consultation process. It previously said it wanted the surgical service to remain on two sites because of "a lack of evidence to show that the existing structure wasn't working". It has urged the NHS to provide further detail "on either the issues with the current two centre model or the structure of a service based at one centre". A spokeswoman said: "We will continue to ask for clear and transparent sharing of information regarding the review and its recommendation to move to a single centre, and we are also vigilant on the potential erosion of services across cleft teams as NHS budgets come under increasing pressure. "We actively encourage all those in the cleft community, children and adults, to respond to the consultation process and to include CLAPA (Scotland) in their correspondence so we can continue to monitor the situation and ensure a broad spectrum of voices are heard at this crucial time in the consultation process." Health Secretary Shona Robison said the review was an "on-going process" and that no final decisions had been made. She added: "A consultation is underway, and the views of patients and families, are not just welcome, but an extremely important part of the process. "It's important to state that this review applies only to specialist surgery services. It does not impact on other important cleft unit services such as orthodontist treatment, speech and language therapy and dentistry, which will continue to be provided locally throughout Scotland." A spokesman for NHS National Services Scotland said: "It is essential to have a service that can be properly staffed and resourced that can provide a high quality, resilient and sustainable service for the long term for NHS Scotland. "Specialist services like cleft lip and palate with a few complex operations a year often benefit from concentrating surgical skills in one place."

"You're not going to win this tournament by playing negative," O'Sullivan, 40, told BBC Sport. In the day's other quarter-final, Barry Hawkins beat Mark Allen 6-2. Englishman Hawkins, the world number eight, lost the first frame as Northern Irishman Allen posted a 109 break, but won the next four to take control of the match. Allen briefly halted his charge by taking frame six, but Hawkins claimed the last two to set up a semi-final contest with Judd Trump or Neil Robertson, who play on Friday (13:00 GMT - live on BBC Two). O'Sullivan will face either John Higgins or Stuart Bingham (Friday from 19:00 GMT - live on BBC Two) in the last four. BBC snooker analyst Steve Davis called O'Sullivan's clearance to win the match "one of the greatest of all time". Media playback is not supported on this device However, five-time world champion O'Sullivan, who is playing his first major tournament since taking a break from the sport last April, insisted he is not on top of his game. He said: "I felt a bit more relaxed and comfortable. My attitude was fantastic. But I'm struggling with my technique and it's just the occasion and the competitive instinct within me that's making me try and find something." Thousands of tonnes of stone was dumped in the area in the 1980s, which destroyed an area of saltmarsh. The Public Services Department has undertaken the work as part of efforts to offset the impact of the £80m airport refurbishment project. The reserve sits within the 426-hectare area at L'Eree that was granted protection as a Ramsar site in 2006. Public Services Minister Bernard Flouquet said the environmental impact of the works had been taken very seriously and it was working with Environment Guernsey to identify suitable schemes to offset these. Jamie Hooper, managing director of Environment Guernsey, said the stone had been removed from the site and although saltmarsh was "not particularly species-rich", it was rare and only Pulias Pond and Vale Pond offered similar habitat locally. He said: "This is an area of high ecological importance... we fully expect the saltmarsh to recover naturally by itself and enhance the reserve as a whole." More than 150 species of birds and 200 species of seaweed have been recorded at the Ramsar site, which includes marshes, reed beds and the intertidal area. The department said it was also considering other offsetting projects, including the creation of new hedgerows along the northern perimeter of the airport and planting schemes on various other States-owned properties. The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) want to take over the club, Rodney Parade ground and Newport Gwent Dragons. The WRU and Dragons boards have approved the deal which must be passed by 75% of Newport RFC shareholders. The new provisions include opening a club museum and keeping profits from bar sales on match days. Dragons chief executive Stuart Davies has described the vote as a "hugely important moment in the history of Newport RFC" and warned a no vote could lead to liquidation for the club and region and the end of 140 years of rugby at Rodney Parade. A statement said a "supplementary circular" had been issued to shareholders dealing with a number of issues raised in meetings since the date of the vote was announced on 12 April. It follows a series of meetings where Newport RFC supporters have raised issues with Davies and WRU chief executive Martyn Phillips. Media playback is not supported on this device The statement said: "The circular seeks to deal with the main themes and discussion points emerging from these meetings, and perhaps most significantly confirms some additional provisions for Newport RFC." It says the new provisions are: The statement added: "Your Board's unanimous view is that, unpalatable as it may be to some, the sale represents the only possibility of giving the Company a viable future where creditors and employees alike are protected and there is an ability for professional rugby to continue to be played at Rodney Parade." Stuart Davies said: "I think the documentation and further discussions have been well received, and we thought it would be beneficial ahead of the vote to capture the main themes in an additional release. "The extra provisions for Newport RFC are both welcome and significant, and hopefully provide a further assurance that Rodney Parade will continue to be a home for Newport in the event of a 'Yes' vote." Rayhan, a popular singer whose music mixes Eastern melodies with Western pop, has given a concert on 14 February for years. But this month the show has been cancelled, along with other events. Instead of Valentine's Day, the authorities are trying instead to promote the study and appreciation of a local hero, the Moghul emperor Babur, whose birthday falls on 14 February. Babur, a descendant of Genghis Khan and founder of a culturally rich and tolerant empire across South and Central Asia, will be commemorated in readings and poetic festivals. An official from the education ministry's Department for Enlightenment and Promoting Values said it had issued an internal decree "not to celebrate holidays that are alien to our culture and instead promote Babur's birthday". The official, who wanted to remain anonymous, said the decree had been in place for a while. Uzbek citizens were divided on the move, which is the latest in a series by the authorities against Western influences. Abdullaw, a Tashkent resident who described himself as an intellectual, said it was right to stop the concert. "It's the birthday of our great ancestor Mohammed Zahiriddin Babur," he said. "Why should we celebrate some artificial, lightweight event? It doesn't fit our mentality and our history." But Jasur Hamraev, an entertainment journalist, said imposing patriotic celebrations was the wrong move. "You shouldn't turn the day into a nationalistic cause because that just divides people," he said, adding that many young people would have enjoyed Rayhan's show. "It's laughable," he said. "For 10 years she's been giving concerts on that day and this year it is banned as if someone had suddenly remembered that it's happening." Local reports say the state information agency has in the past warned local publishers to avoid material on Valentine's Day. But a college student told the BBC that Valentine's Day had become a new tradition celebrated among young people in particular, with souvenirs, cards and small presents exchanged between sweethearts. The independent Uzbek news website uznews.net conducted its own informal survey and found that most of those questioned were planning to celebrate as usual, eating out or going to a club. "It's a shame that instead of going to a concert we'll have to waste a couple of hours at some tedious event the university will put on," it quoted one student as saying. It is not the first time that the authorities and the state media in particular have taken aim at what they see as damaging Western influences. In the past few weeks there have been several articles attacking foreign soap operas from Mexico and Latin America for being too explicit and for undermining local values and traditions. Similar criticism was levelled against hard rock and rap music in an extensive campaign a year ago. A Youth Channel on state TV labelled the music "Satanic", feeding on drug addiction and immorality. The government set up a special censorship body to monitor rap music, register artists and hold regular meetings to encourage the use of more wholesome lyrics. But observers say that the authorities' approach to Western culture is largely inconsistent with state media attacking supposedly immoral content on TV and the internet, while not a word is said about the often raunchy music videos produced by the president's daughter, Gulnara Karimova. The Portuguese Fado event encourages integration between the different communities in the town and celebrates Portuguese culture. There are an estimated 2,000 Portuguese nationals in Wrexham. Last month, Wrexham council signed a formal agreement with the Portuguese government to build ties. The festival, which has been given Big Lottery funding, is being organised by Iolanda Viegas who moved to Wrexham from Portugal 15 years ago. "The main aim is integration," Ms Viegas, a representative of the Portuguese Council of Great Britain, said. "We try for the Portuguese community to engage in the local community. "It's by going to these events that we realise we are all the same. "It's just one big community," said Ms Viegas who is also a representative on the Race Council Cymru and is director of the Portuguese Speaking Community Group in Wrexham. Wrexham council has been working to develop close relationships across its diverse communities since 2008 when it launched its Together in Wrexham strategy. Earlier this month, it signed a friendship agreement with the Portuguese government, reinforcing principles of "integration and collaboration", according to Councillor Hugh Jones, Wrexham's lead member for communities. "We readily agreed and we saw that as recognition that out community cohesion team has a really successful link with the Portuguese community. "We'd more than welcome similar protocols, if the Polish community came forward, we'd look at that in a favourable way." In spite of the work being done by community leaders, the local authority and the police, there were some hate crime incidents in Wrexham in the aftermath of the EU referendum result. Mr Jones said he felt confident such issues had now died down. Mr Farron said he had put the decision "to bed" about two weeks into the campaign, and denied deceiving voters by continuing to fight the election. "I absolutely threw everything at it," he said. He announced his departure six days after polling day, saying he was "torn" between the leadership and his faith. The Liberal Democrats increased their tally of seats from nine to 12 at last month's general election, but their vote share fell from 7.9% to 7.4%. In an interview with BBC Radio 5 live's Emma Barnett, Mr Farron said that under his leadership, the party had "left intensive care and is back relevant". "My job was to save the party," he said. "The Liberal Democrats still exist and we're moving forward." Mr Farron faced repeated questions about his views on gay sex during the campaign, and when he announced his resignation, said he had found it impossible to be a committed Christian and lead a "progressive liberal party". Asked about his decision to quit, he said he had not wanted to "become the story". "I made the decision about two weeks into the election campaign," he said. "I thought there isn't a way forward out of this without me either compromising or just causing damage to the party in the long run." He said he had told himself to "put that into a drawer, don't talk to anybody else about it, get on and do as good a job as you can during the election". Mr Farron said this had "not in the slightest" deceived voters, adding that "in every election there is a reasonable chance that leaders will step down". "I just thought 'I am here to do a job,'" he said. A leadership contest is under way to replace Mr Farron - and with a week to go before nominations close, just one candidate, former Business Secretary Sir Vince Cable, has come forward. Mr Farron - who criticised Theresa May's unopposed "coronation" as Tory leader - said Sir Vince had already been subject to "plenty of scrutiny". "If there's only one candidate, then that's how it is," he added. Lownes met Playboy founder Hugh Hefner in 1954 and became the magazine's promotion director. He suggested that Playboy set up a club and said he came up with the idea for hostesses to be Playboy bunnies. Moving to London, he came to embody the Playboy lifestyle and set up a string of highly successful clubs and casinos. He married a former Playmate of the Year, Marilyn Cole, and was known for throwing lavish star-studded parties at his Hertfordshire mansion. For a time he was reputedly the highest paid executive in Britain, but was sacked by Playboy in 1981 when the gambling operation ran into problems with authorities.

Marian Dorobek was held at Heysham Port after travelling from the Isle of Man on Wednesday afternoon. The 68-year-old had fled Poland after committing rape and child sex offences. He was convicted in his absence and was facing a prison sentence. Dorobek was transferred to HMP Wandsworth in London ahead of an extradition hearing. Officers from Lancashire Police made the arrest after receiving a tip-off about Dorobek's impending arrival. The Polish government has thanked the force for its swift intervention. Insp Phil Hutchinson said: "This is a great example of a number of disciplines from within the constabulary coming together at a moment's notice to facilitate an arrest. "Our prompt actions have resulted in an extremely dangerous offender being taken off the streets. "Our thought and best wishes remain with the victims of the horrendous crimes he has committed." Molly-Mole Povey, from Newton Abbot, in Devon, was upset when her son Roman said he had no friends at school. After her Facebook post went viral, more than 200 cards have arrived from as far away as Australia. Mrs Povey said: "The compassion shown has been truly inspiring." She said that she had written the post two weeks before her "beautiful special boy" turns 11 on Wednesday. She said Roman was "a lovely adorable boy with difficulties". "I was just hoping a couple of school people might give him a card, but it went viral with people offering to send him cards from all over the world," she said. "Roman doesn't have any friends and often cries himself to sleep because of this. "I cannot express how heart-breaking these past few years have been seeing my beautiful boy so upset, so often." She said on Facebook that any cards and well-wishes for his birthday "would mean the world to him to feel special for once and popular". Her post has received more than 400 likes and responses from around the world including Dubai, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Egypt and Germany - and they are still arriving. "Within 12 hours my post had been shared around the world from friends to their friends and beyond," she said. "The moment I realised it had gone global was when someone in Uganda messaged me and asked if they could send my son Roman a birthday card. "It's been amazing, I'm overwhelmed with people's kindness." Roman will see the cards on Wednesday when he has a family celebration at his home. 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 V&A has acquired an archive of papers and props once owned by Cooper, which show he was less shambolic off stage than he appeared when performing. The gag file is among 116 boxes of his papers going into the V&A collection. The museum said he used a system for storing his jokes alphabetically "with the meticulousness of an archivist". On stage, Cooper was known for his apparently chaotic magic routines as well as his trademark red fez and his catchphrase "just like that". But the file shows how he carefully sorted his jokes into dozens of categories, ranging from boxing and bull fighting to wives and women. The material sheds light on his "scrupulously organised working methods, the business side of his vocation and the extent of his writing", the V&A said. As well as the gag file, the V&A has acquired personal correspondence, contracts, notebooks and his famous head twister illusion, plus posters and cardboard from shirt packaging that he jotted notes on. However, the museum has not acquired his most famous possession - a fez. The collection also contains details of his early auditions. A report from his first BBC audition in 1947 described him as an "unattractive young man with indistinct speaking voice and extremely unfortunate appearance". He was given a BBC series in 1952, however, before moving to ITV, which screened numerous series and specials from the 1950s to the '80s. Cooper suffered a fatal heart attack during a live TV broadcast in 1984. In 2004, he was voted the funniest Briton of all time. V&A curator Simon Sladen said the collection offered "a fascinating insight into one the best-loved entertainers of the 20th Century and reveals much about his practice, process and legacy". The archive was bought from collector John Fisher and will become part of the V&A's growing comedy collection, which also contains material from the lives of Ronnie Barker, Tony Hancock and Morecambe and Wise. Cooper's daughter Vicky said: "It is wonderful that the V&A has acquired the Tommy Cooper Collection and that the public will get to see some of his material on display later this year. "I hope it brings as much enjoyment to people as he did when he was alive. "My dad would be very proud knowing he was now represented in the National Collection of Theatre and Performance, sitting alongside the likes of Ronnie Barker's archive and costumes worn by Morecambe and Wise and Stan Laurel." In a statement, Cooper's friend and fellow entertainer Ken Dodd said: "He loved laughter and he loved to laugh. I'm sure he would have been very proud to see so many people enjoy his sense of humour." Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or if you have a story suggestion email [email protected]. The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS), which covers the North East, Cumbria and North Yorkshire, started the scheme in January 2015. Since then, medics have performed 60 transfusions, a third of which were deemed to have been of critical importance to survival. Many others have had their outcomes improved by having the intervention. Dr Rachel Hawes, who is also a doctor on the air ambulance, used her experiences as officer in the Army Reserve - including deployment in Afghanistan - as the basis for the idea for the scheme. She said: "About half of people with traumatic injuries who die, die from bleeding. "Previously, stopping the bleeding could only be done in hospital, but one of the ways to buy yourself time is to replace the blood they're losing." Volunteers from Cumbria and Northumbria Blood Bikes deliver the blood in cool boxes to the helicopters daily. Of those receiving transfusion, 83% were injured as a result of road traffic accidents, and the rest by incidents involving crushing and assaults, or heavy falls. The Major Trauma Centre at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary received 60% of cases, with 30% going to 30% to Middlesbrough's James Cook University Hospital, and 10% to the Royal Preston Hospital. The haul included a beer keg bomb, a number of rockets, AK-47 rifles, semtex explosives, handguns and ammunition. The weapons were all seized by members of the Irish police force (An Garda Síochána) over the last two years. They said they have had "significant success" in disrupting attacks, aimed mainly at targets in Northern Ireland. Assistant Garda Commissioner John O'Mahoney said the beer keg bomb was found about 400m from the Irish border and was "ready for use in Northern Ireland". The device was discovered in Kilcurry, near Dundalk in County Louth, in May 2014. "I can say with confidence that our interventions and arrests have, without doubt, saved lives," Mr O'Mahoney said. "Just in the last two years we have over 30 firearms seized, over 1,000 rounds of ammunition, a number of mortars, a number of rocket launchers. "I suppose one very significant find [in 2014] was in County Dublin where we had a significant seizure of semtex explosives." Over the course of last year, 31 people were arrested in the Republic of Ireland on suspicion of dissident republican paramilitary activity, 22 of whom were charged at the non-jury Special Criminal Court in Dublin. Mr O'Mahoney said that over the past five or six years, his force had seen "a steady and a gradual rise in the activities of dissident republicans" and said their methods were "becoming more sophisticated", particularly their bomb-making capacity. "When you look at some of these devices, the way that they are operated, it shows an increasing sign again of sophistication in relation to engineering." He also said that Irish police had foiled potential dissident republican attacks ahead of Queen Elizabeth's visit to the Republic of Ireland in 2011 and the visit of Prince Charles last year. "On both occasions we had significant disruption in relation to planned attacks," he said. The assistant commissioner said there was evidence that dissident republicans in the Republic of Ireland were providing support for attacks carried out in Northern Ireland, with funding from organised crime such as drug dealing and extortion. "The individuals planning, supporting and perpetrating these attacks carry out their preparation both within Northern Ireland and in this state," he said. "While the attacks themselves rarely manifest themselves in this jurisdiction, An Garda Síochána continues to devote, on a daily basis, significant resources to tackle this problem." He warned that dissident republican paramilitaries continued to pose a real threat to life, particularly to members of the security forces in Northern Ireland, and appealed to the public to report suspicious activity to the police. He added that his officers are in daily contact with their counterparts in the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and said there was "excellent" co-operation between the two forces in combating dissident republican violence. "We have a shared objective to help protect all people on this island and we take this responsibility very seriously. "Our commitment to countering the threat posed by these dissident republicans is continuous and necessary," Mr O'Mahoney said. It said steps must be taken to improve people's health, make better use of existing resources, and unify health and social care provision. Amanda Doyle, who led the work on the plan, said the region had some of the "poorest health in the country". Westmorland and Lonsdale MP Tim Farron criticised the report as "vague". The plan aims to "tackle life expectancy inequality" and make care "more person-centred and coordinated", the report said. It also intends to "relieve the financial pressures" on local NHS providers, partly by encouraging and supporting people to "assume greater responsibility for their own good health" and reducing "over reliance on acute hospital-based services". The report suggests "enhancing" the role of charity and voluntary organisations in supporting mainstream services. Changes to acute and specialist services have not been ruled out. NHS England has split the country into 44 geographic areas - called 'footprints' - each of which must soon produce a sustainability and transformation plan (STP). Liberal Democrat Farron said it was a "vague report - vaguer than most others around the country". "The government has asked them to make cuts of a ludicrous proportion, over half a billion pounds in the next five years - impossible to do - and they are maybe playing for time or looking for other ways out and so their proposals are very thin," he said. Lancashire and South Cumbria's STP covers five areas: Central Lancashire, West Lancashire, Pennine Lancashire, Fylde Coast and the Bay Health & Care Partners area. The group overseeing this change, Healthier Lancashire and South Cumbria, is asking the public for their views. However, the row now seems to be over after Snoop said "sorry". Iggy says she has accepted his apology and wants to move on and "focus on the positive". In one message he wrote: "Say *****! You ******* with the wrong ******. Your ****** better check you before I do, you ******* *****, yeah, ******* ****!" Snoop Dogg's behaviour has caused outrage on social media. Let's remind ourselves about what Snoop is apologising for. The rapper posted a picture on Instagram of a person with pale skin and cornrows, claiming it was a photograph of 24-year-old Iggy wearing no make-up. It came just days after Iggy was photographed wearing minimal make-up at an airport in the US. Snoop compared Iggy to the two main characters from the film White Chicks. He named a photo, "White Chicks 2 starring Iggy". He also shared a photo of himself dressed as "Todd", his alter ego" and called Iggy "a man". Not content with simply pledging his support to rapper Nicki Minaj, Snoop also decided to take a swipe at Iggy in the process. He called Nicki the "queen of rap" and then asked: "Where is Iggy? Nowhere insight." The rapper also implied Iggy was "fake" and a "non writer". On several occasions, Snoop shared threatening videos and messages. They included an expletive-filled rant where he warned Iggy that she was messing with the wrong person and a photo of himself holding a gun with the caption: "Keep talking". Iggy initially seemed shocked by Snoop's behaviour, claiming on Twitter that she and her team had only ever "sung his praises". However, as the abuse continued she fought back comparing him to the type of guy that asks for your number and then says you are "ugly when you say no". She also asked why he was "trolling other artists" and said she was "disappointed" that he had taken things too far. Many Twitter users have jumped to Iggy's defence, angered by Snoop's aggressive behaviour towards her. She retweeted a couple of comments including one from gossip columnist Perez Hilton, who said: "Threatening, hinting at or joking about violence towards women is disgusting." Shortly after, Snoop said he was "sorry". In a short black and white video posted on his Instagram page, he revealed that he had had a rethink after speaking with fellow rapper, TI. Looking directly into the camera, he said: "Hey, boys and girls. I just got off the phone with my homeboy Tip, and it's officially over. "No more bad talk, I apologise, yeah, I apologise. I'm sorry, I won't do it again." Iggy has accepted his apology and says she does not want to "dwell on the negative". Newsbeat has contacted Iggy Azalea and Snoop Dogg's people, but so far has not received a response. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Nev Edwards scored an early try for Sale, before Castres' Florian Vialelle went over, but Julien Dumora's penalty put the hosts 10-7 ahead at the break. Joe Ford sent over a penalty before Castres' Marc-Antoine Rallier and Sales' Will Addison were sin-binned. Julien Caminati's late attempt to stop Charlie Ingall saw Sale awarded the decisive penalty try. The win moves the English Premiership side to within one point of Pool Two leaders Newport Gwent Dragons after three games. Sale got off to the ideal start, Edwards sprinting away for the game's opening points from an Andrei Ostrikov kick, but Castres heaped the pressure on in search of a reply, which came through Vialelle on eight minutes. Sharks flanker Magnus Lund was forced off with a head injury before the television match official denied Castres a second try, with replays showing that the Sharks defence did enough to force full-back Caminati into touch. Ford had a chance to put Sale ahead again, but his penalty on 27 minutes drifted wide. Dumora, however, made no mistake soon after, slotting over to give the French side the lead on 33 minutes. A combination of probing grubber kicks and scrappy play eventually led to Ford teeing up his second penalty attempt, with the fly-half this time booting the three points to make it 10-10. Rallier's yellow card following a scuffle saw Ford opt for the posts soon after, but he was off target again before Sales' one-man advantage was lost as Addison was sin-binned. Sharks pushed for the breakthrough as Ingall went close to touching down, and the video referee eventually gave the penalty try after deciding that Caminati's attempt to stop the winger was illegal. Castres: Caminati; Martial, Vialelle, Combezou, Decrop; Dumora, Dupont; Taumoepeau, Rallier, Montes; Samson, Moreaux, Caballero, Diarra, Beattie. Replacements: Beziat, Tichit, Martinez, Desroche, Babillot, Fontaine, Lamerat, Seron. Sale: Arscott; Edwards, Addison, Jennings, Ingall; Ford, Mitchell, Lewis-Roberts, Briggs, Mujati, Mills, Ostrikov, Lund, Seymour (capt), Easter.

It also reduces the number of jobs 15-18 year olds are banned from doing. The government says the law will help poor families earn a living and give children a chance to acquire skills. However, the UN children's agency Unicef and Indian Nobel prize winner Kailash Satyarti are among those to have criticised the bill. Labour and Employment Minister Bandaru Dattatreya told parliament that the exemptions would allow the government to "practically implement" the act. "We have enabled many safeguards in the new bill," he said. Under current legislation, children younger than 14 are only prohibited from working in jobs that are defined as "hazardous". The new bill, which is awaiting assent from President Pranab Mukherjee, will expand the ban on child labour to all sectors and increase penalties for those employing children. But activists say that the exemption that allows children to work for family businesses after school hours and during holidays clears the way for children to be employed in industries like diamond cutting, scavenging, brick kilns, slaughterhouses or as domestic help. "Under the new Child Labour Act, some forms of child labour may become invisible and the most vulnerable and marginalised children may end up with irregular school attendance, lower levels of learning and could be forced to drop out of school," Unicef India's Chief of Education Euphrates Gobina said in a statement. The agency estimates that there are approximately 10.2 million children working in India. Indian Nobel peace prize winner Kailash Satyarti said the bill was a "missed opportunity" for India. "The definition of family and family enterprises is flawed. This Bill uses Indian family values to justify economic exploitation of children. It is misleading the society by blurring the lines between learning in a family and working in a family enterprise," he said in a statement, adding that the government had failed its children once again. Dan Biggar, Martyn Williams, Adam Warren, Will Harries and Ryan Bevington will all stay at home. Wing Harry Robinson, prop Rhodri Jones and full-back Liam Williams have all been selected for the three Test series against the Wallabies in Australia. All three made their Wales debuts in the 30-21 win over the Barbarians. Saturday, 2 June: Wales 30-21 Barbarians (Millennium Stadium) Saturday, 9 June: Australia v Wales (Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane; 11:00 BST) Tuesday, 12 June: Brumbies v Wales (Canberra Stadium, Canberra; 10:30 BST) Saturday, 16 June: Australia v Wales (Etihad Stadium, Melbourne; 11:00 BST) Saturday, 23 June: Australia v Wales (Aussie Stadium, Sydney; 06:00 BST) Howley announced the 34-man squad which will tasked with recording a first Welsh victory on Australian soil since 1969. Flanker Williams confirmed his retirement in the wake of the win over the Baa-Baas, a game in which he won his 100th cap to join Stephen Jones and Gareth Thomas as Welsh-cap centurions. Biggar may in any case have been ruled out by a shoulder injury that forced him off at the Millennium Stadium. And Howley said dropping Biggar was a particularly tough choice. "For those four who played in this game, they showed outstanding character and professionalism and were an integral part of the win," said Howley. "They were told earlier in the week - each player at a different time - so they could focus on the preparation and I have huge respect for these guys. "It was entirely my decision, I didn't discuss it with Warren [Gatland], and it was the hardest thing I have had to do as a coach, in particular for Dan Biggar. "It is not a reflection on Dan's form and over the last four months he has played particularly well for the Ospreys. It was entirely my decision, I didn't discuss it with Warren [Gatland], and it was the hardest thing I have had to do as a coach "James [Hook] is adept at playing at 12 and 10 and is a hugely talented player. His kicking was exceptional and his composure was fantastic under pressure [against the Barbarians]." Wales' 16 frontline players flew out to Australia earlier this week before the Barbarians game, with defence coach Shaun Edwards, to prepare for the first Test against the Wallabies in Brisbane on 9 June. Howley was left with 23 players to choose from for the clash with the Barbarians and has cut five players from the squad left behind. He was quick to highlight the contribution of Cardiff Blues flyer Robinson who crossed for his first Test try for Wales. Media playback is not supported on this device "Harry Robinson was outstanding on the wing when he had time and space," said Howley. "It was a Test match and we played like it. It was a huge squad effort this week. It wasn't pretty, there was a lot of turnover ball, but there's a lot we can work on in Australia. "We're looking forward to it, it will be a momentous occasion next Saturday and we'll be going out there with every effort." Ospreys fly-half Biggar, who left the field midway through the second-half with a shoulder injury, may have been doubtful for the tour but he wasn't selected for the final squad. Flanker Williams, along with wing Shane Williams, played his last game of rugby at the Millennium Stadium and wasn't expected to make the trip Down Under. Scarlets centre Warren, who made his Wales debut as a replacement against the Baabaas, Dragons wing Harries and Ospreys prop Bevington were all cut from the squad. Ian Evans and Alun Wyn Jones will both miss selection for the first Test against Australia. Evans will miss the first Test in Australia to get married, while Jones could also miss out in order to attend his sister's wedding. Ospreys provide half the pack, with Ian Evans and Alun Wyn Jones in tandem in the second row. Evans will miss the first Test in Australia to get married, while Jones could also miss out in order to attend his sister's wedding. Wales squad for Australia tour: FORWARDS: Luke Charteris (Newport Gwent Dragons), Ian Evans (Ospreys), Bradley Davies (Cardiff Blues), Toby Faletau (Newport Gwent Dragons), Rhys Gill (Saracens), Richard Hibbard (Ospreys), Paul James (Ospreys), Gethin Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Adam Jones (Ospreys), Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys), Rhodri Jones (Scarlets), Ryan Jones (Ospreys), Dan Lydiate (Newport Gwent Dragons), Ken Owens (Scarlets), Matthew Rees (Scarlets), Aaron Shingler (Scarlets), Justin Tipuric (Ospreys), Josh Turnbull (Scarlets), Sam Warburton (Cardiff Blues) BACKS: Ashley Beck (Ospreys), Andrew Bishop (Ospreys), Aled Brew (Biarritz), Alex Cuthbert (Cardiff Blues), Jonathan Davies (Scarlets), Leigh Halfpenny (Cardiff Blues), James Hook (Ospreys), George North (Scarlets), Mike Phillips (Bayonne), Rhys Priestland (Scarlets), Harry Robinson (Cardiff Blues), Rhys Webb (Ospreys), Lloyd Williams (Cardiff Blues), Scott Williams (Scarlets), Liam Williams (Scarlets). Welshman Doull and England's Dibben won four of five races in the Elite Championship to move to within 19 points of leaders Team Pedalsure. Double Olympic champion Laura Trott won the women's points, elimination and the scratch race ahead of Katie Archibald. The event is the fourth of six in the series, with two one-day competitions to come in Manchester in January. Team Wiggins was formed by 2012 Tour de France winner and four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Bradley Wiggins specifically to help him compete for qualification for the Rio Olympics. Doull and Dibben were beaten in the first race of the evening as Australian Sam Welsford, riding for Orica-GreenEdge, took the 250m flying lap in 13.053 seconds. However, the pair then won the remaining quartet of races - the points, scratch, Madison time trial and team elimination. Doull admitted on the Revolution Series official website that his team had "a bit of an advantage given that we have access to the track quite a lot in Manchester". "With the Worlds [Track Championships] only a few months away we're all in really good shape, which definitely helps," he added. Trott, 23, who won three titles at the European Track Championships in Switzerland in October, was again in fine form, completing a clean sweep of the women's endurance events. There was also success for a British rider in the women's sprint competition as Victoria Williamson beat France's Melissandre Pain in the final. Production rose by 5.4% in January and February - the worst since 2008. China is trying to refocus its economy from investment and export-led growth to consumer spending. UK finance minister George Osborne said China's slowdown is one of a "dangerous cocktail of risks" hampering recovery from the 2008 financial crisis. Recent data revealed that Chinese exports fell 25.4% in February compared with the same month last year. It was the biggest monthly decline since 2009, and ahead of the 11.2% fall recorded in January. Retail sales in the first two months of the year grew by 10.2% - below analysts' expectations of a 10.9% rise. Zhou Hao, an economist at Commerzbank, told Bloomberg that the mix of slower industrial output and retail spending "gives us a worrying picture". He said: "The overall growth profile remains still gloomy." However, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People's Bank of China, said that the government would be able to achieve a target of an average 6.5% in GDP growth for the next five years without implementing measures to stimulate the economy. "Excessive monetary policy stimulus isn't necessary to achieve the target," he said. "If there isn't any big economic or financial turmoil, we'll keep prudent monetary policy." Writing in the UK's Sun on Sunday ahead of presenting a budget on Wednesday, Mr Osborne said falling oil prices, interest rate changes elsewhere and political instability in the Middle East meant "hopes of a strong global recovery have evaporated". Soldiers and a fighter jet were used in a counter-attack after Islamist fighters overran a checkpoint on the edge of the city. The insurgents were retreating towards their stronghold in the neighbouring state of Borno, witnesses said. Nigeria postponed elections due to be held on Saturday due to the insurgency in the north-east. Before they left, the militants scattered leaflets urging people not to vote in the elections. All roads in and out of Gombe have been blocked and a 24-hour curfew imposed, reports the BBC's Abdullahi Kaura Abubakar in Abuja. Gombe - capital of Gombe State - has previously suffered suicide attacks but correspondents say this was the first time Boko Haram launched a direct assault on the city. Reports said militants first attacked the town of Dadin Kowa, about 40km (25 miles) from Gombe. Ground troops with air support then battled to keep the insurgents from entering the city, as residents fled into the bush and nearby hills. Boko Haram controls a swathe of territory in north-eastern Nigeria. Its insurgency has become a regional crisis with the four affected countries - Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon -agreeing to form a regional military force to try to contain the threat. In response, the insurgents have stepped up their attacks in Nigeria and neighbouring states. It emerged on Friday that Boko Haram had attacked Chad for the first time, crossing Lake Chad in four motorboats and raiding a village overnight. Security sources and witnesses said five people were killed by Boko Haram in the village of Ngouboua, including a local chief, a police officer and three civilians. The Chadian military said two of the attackers were also killed. Some reports put the civilian death toll higher. Villagers said about 30 militants took part in the attack, setting fire to two-thirds of homes. Boko Haram, which wants to create an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, has killed thousands and forced millions to flee their homes in north-east Nigeria since 2009. Why is Boko Haram so strong?

Charles Putz, from New Milton, was hit by a silver Peugeot 306 as he crossed Caird Avenue in the town just before 17:45 GMT on 30 January. He was taken to hospital but later died. The driver, a 21-year-old man from Lymington, was not injured. Police are appealing for witnesses. Sgt Andy Gwyer said officers were keen to speak to any pedestrians or motorists who were in the area, or Ashley Road, or at the Tesco roundabout at the time.

Police investigating the death of an 86-year-old pedestrian hit by a car in Hampshire are to return to the scene, one week on.

Caer Heritage Project was awarded the cash from the Heritage Lottery Fund to develop its plans for Caerau hillfort. Plans include turning a disused gospel hall into a heritage centre and improving access to the site. Caer co-director Dr Dave Wyatt, of Cardiff University, said the "significant" site "remains poorly understood and largely unknown". In 2015, an excavation of the hillfort revealed a Neolithic causeway enclosure and one of the largest collections of pottery from the period ever discovered in Wales, suggesting it could date back 6,000 years. It is hoped the grant will also help people in the area develop a better understanding of the hillfort and its significance.

A £157,000 grant has been awarded to help access and information at a hillfort in Cardiff.

The InOdiham community group planted 10,000 bulbs on the approaches to Odiham as part of a project which had Hampshire County Council approval. Dilly Howard of inOdiham said they were "really, really disappointed" to discover part of the area being dug up. The group said Hampshire County Council apologised and said it did not know the bulbs were near the bus stop area. More than 50 volunteers from the inOdiham group planted the bulbs as part of an effort to improve the look of the town's roadsides. The group had applied for a licence to carry out the planting at a cost of £109. Mrs Howard said she was pleased with the council's response and the group would plant more bulbs around the bus stop. "Come the spring, it'll look lovely," she added. Councillor Seán Woodward, executive member for economy, transport and environment at Hampshire County Council, said: "I am sorry some of these bulbs have been disturbed for the new bus stop which is being put in place as part of the new development. "We would be happy to arrange for some new bulbs to replace the ones which have been dug up." The Yorkshire left-hander, 27, who played the most recent of his 21 Tests in October, averages 101 in the County Championship this season. Uncapped Middlesex seamer Toby Roland-Jones and Hampshire spinner Liam Dawson are also in a squad of 12. The opening match of the four-Test series is Joe Root's first as captain. Durham pace bowler Mark Wood, who has not played a Test since October 2015 because of an ankle injury, also features alongside James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Opener Haseeb Hameed, who missed the final Test of last winter's series defeat in India with injury, is overlooked after failing to reach 50 in 12 championship innings for Lancashire this summer. Keaton Jennings, promoted to open in Hameed's absence in India, retains his place and is set to open alongside former captain Alastair Cook. South Africa-born Jennings, who made a century on his Test debut, averages 36 in Division Two for Durham this term. Cook, 32, England's record Test run-scorer with 11,057, stood down as captain in February. He averages 66 in Division One for Essex this season. Yorkshire skipper Ballance is captaining an England Lions side also featuring Jennings against South Africa in the three-day tour match at New Road which ends on Saturday. Dropped after making four consecutive single-figure scores in October's drawn Test series in Bangladesh, he has scored 815 runs in 11 championship innings this summer. "He has been in fantastic touch," national selector James Whitaker said. "He deserves to be included and we feel that he will add maturity and experience to our middle order." With Chris Woakes and Jake Ball ruled out by side and knee injuries respectively, Roland-Jones is in line to make his Test debut. The 29-year-old claimed 1-34 on his one-day international debut against South Africa in May and has taken 76 championship wickets since the start of last season, more than any other seamer. Whitaker said: "Toby Roland-Jones is a player we have been monitoring for quite some time and deserves his chance after a strong couple of seasons with Middlesex in red-ball cricket." Wood, who has taken eight wickets at an average of 34 in eight Tests, did not play for England in 2016 because of ankle problems that required three operations. Bowling in boots specially designed to combat the impact on his heel, he took 4-33 against Australia in the Champions Trophy in June and has eight wickets in three championship matches for Durham this year. Anderson, England's leading wicket-taker of all time, proved his fitness following a groin problem in two championship matches for Lancashire last month. Broad has been struggling with a heel injury but will play for Nottinghamshire in the One-Day Cup final against Surrey on Saturday. Slow left-armer Dawson, who took 1-29 on his debut in the final Test in Chennai last year, has 18 wickets at 30 apiece in Division One this summer. BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew: The batting order has yet to be confirmed but Jennings will open with Cook. This is a change to the plan at the start of the season due to Hameed's loss of form and, while Jennings hasn't been pulling up many trees for Durham, the fact he played in the last Test before Christmas indicates consistency. Not many would have given much for Ballance's prospects after his tortuous appearances against Bangladesh. However, as Yorkshire captain, he's enjoyed a tremendous summer, and will probably bat at three with Root returning to his preferred four. England squad: Joe Root (capt, Yorkshire), Alastair Cook (Essex), Keaton Jennings (Durham), Gary Ballance (Yorkshire), Jonny Bairstow (wkt) (Yorkshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Mark Wood (Durham), James Anderson (Lancashire), Toby Roland-Jones (Middlesex). Prof Kenneth Norrie was the first witness to give evidence in public at the hearing in Edinburgh. He told how lawmakers had sought to "insulate" youngsters from poor backgrounds from negative influences. He said "there was a very judgmental attitude towards children, even children in poverty" at the time. More than 60 institutions, including several top private schools and church bodies, are being investigated. The inquiry, which is being chaired by Lady Smith, is looking in detail at historical abuse of children in residential care. It is expected to report in late 2019 - four years after it was set up. Prof Norrie, of the University of Strathclyde's Law School, guided the hearing through developments in legislation surrounding children, juvenile offenders and child protection from the early to mid-20th Century. He also spoke of the creation of institutions such as "voluntary homes", remand homes - for children awaiting trial or on short sentences - and borstals, designed to retrain and rehabilitate young offenders. Giving an overview of the first four decades of the 20th Century, he said there was a "developing idea" among authorities that the law needed to "insulate" certain children from "bad influences". His narrative came during questioning by Colin MacAulay QC, counsel to the inquiry. Prof Norrie said: "It's perceived that children are products of their environment, so the way to protect children is to protect them from their environment and that means removing them from their family. "Actually in the early years of the 20th Century, this hardens. "One of the really noticeable features of the regulation we've been looking at is what isn't there. What isn't there is any contact with parents. That's virtually absent. "And indeed, as the years go by before the Second World War, it becomes almost official policy to discourage parental visits." The witness said authorities also sought to restrict the influence not just of parents, but the wider family, on certain children. "You see with the boarding-out provisions that what the state was trying to do was create a new family for the children, a better family, putting it bluntly," he said. "The whole idea was that a child would be insulated from the bad influences, they would have better, new role models to become productive members of society away from their original family." He added that "there was a very judgmental attitude towards children, even children in poverty" at the time - a feeling that youngsters brought up in poverty would go on to become idle, just like their parents. The opening session of the inquiry on Wednesday heard apologies from groups who said they "deplored that physical sexual abuses could occur". They included Quarrier's, Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, Sisters of Nazareth, Good Shepherd Sisters, De La Salle Brothers and Christian Brothers. The hearing continues. Firms with 50-99 employees will not face a tax penalty until 2016 if they fail to provide health insurance to their workers, it was announced. The requirement for companies with over 50 workers to offer health coverage had already been delayed a year until 2015. The reform has been beset by technical problems and political opposition. It aims to extend health coverage to millions of uninsured Americans, partially by imposing tax penalties on individuals who do not carry health insurance and on some companies that do not offer it to their employees. The change, announced by the treasury department on Monday, also amended the requirements for companies with 100 or more employees - they must only offer coverage to 70% of their full-time workers in 2015, and 95% of their employees in 2016. A treasury official told the National Journal that companies would have to prove they were not shedding workers in order to qualify for the additional time. The law only requires business with 50 or more employees to offer health insurance coverage. Individuals not covered by an employer or government plan will face a tax penalty in 2014 if they do not purchase insurance on their own. One business group, the National Retail Foundation, praised the newly announced implementation delay for medium-sized companies. It said the regulations "secured the gold medal for greatest assistance to retailers, and other businesses, and our employees". But the conservative US Chamber of Commerce, America's largest business lobby group, said the delay caused "new problems for companies by moving the goalposts of the mandate modestly when what we really need is a time-out". The Democratic president's flagship domestic achievement was passed in 2010 with no support from the Republicans, who have sought to undermine or repeal it at every turn. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known widely as Obamacare, has been bedeviled by problems and postponements during its roll-out. Last week, congressional budget analysts predicted the health law would cut the US workforce by the equivalent of 2.3 million workers by 2021. Media playback is not supported on this device Souleymane Doukara's left-footed shot and Toumani Diagouraga's swept finish gave Leeds a 2-0 lead their first-half dominance deserved. Bolton looked out of it until Darren Pratley fired high into the net with 10 minutes to go. Gary Madine hit a post as the hosts pressed for a late equaliser. Madine had earlier fired over from inside the six-yard box, shortly after Doukara put Leeds ahead. That was as close as Bolton came in the first half as Leeds kept their Championship rivals at arms' length. Wanderers, who are second bottom of the table and beset by financial problems, improved too late to force a replay. Bolton manager Neil Lennon: "We were way too passive in the first half. Media playback is not supported on this device "It was a goalkeeping error for the first goal but our reaction wasn't good after that and I am looking at our senior players. "It was a good opportunity for us; a great cup tie, a good atmosphere, but you can't give teams 2-0 leads and expect to go through. We nearly resurrected but we didn't work hard enough in the first half." Leeds boss Steve Evans: "When I arrived Souleymane Doukara felt discarded, didn't feel loved. And that's harsh. I told him he was going to get the biggest opportunity of his life and he is enjoying every minute of it. "He is going to get fitter and sharper and I don't think there will be many teams who will look forward to playing against the big fella. "His power and purpose all afternoon was great. He has got a heart the size of Big Ben and I am pleased he is getting these rewards." He said he took warnings of possible recession in the event of Brexit "very seriously", adding that would be "very dangerous" for the service. "When the British economy sneezes, the NHS catches a cold," he said, adding it would be a "terrible moment" at a time when the NHS needed extra investment. Vote Leave's Lord Owen said staying in the EU was more of a risk. Follow the latest on the EU campaign The UK's EU vote: All you need to know With little over a month to go until the 23 June referendum, rival camps are highlighting the core issues of the economy and immigration. Mr Stevens's comments come after Bank of England governor Mark Carney warned voting to leave the EU could hit the economy, saying that the risks could "possibly include a technical recession". The NHS England boss told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show: "If Mark Carney is right, then that is a severe concern for the National Health Service, because it would be very dangerous if at precisely the moment the NHS is going to need extra funding, actually the economy goes into a tailspin and that funding is not there. "It's been true for 68 years of NHS history that when the British economy sneezes, the NHS catches a cold and this would be a terrible moment for that to happen at precisely the time the NHS is going to need extra investment." But former foreign secretary Lord Owen told the BBC's Sunday Politics: "Simon Stevens is the manager of the NHS which is currently £3bn in debt. "This man has presided now for a sufficient time to judge his management skills. In almost every part of the National Health Service there is an acute crisis." He said Mr Stevens should focus on managing the health service "a great deal more successfully", and added: "If there is any danger to the NHS, it is staying in with all the elements of the NHS which are now involved with the EU." By Hugh Pym, BBC health editor Simon Stevens's starting point was that if the governor of the Bank of England believed Brexit would damage the economy, he was obliged to point out the risk to the health service. As he put it, if the economy sneezes the NHS catches a cold because public funding is undermined. He argued that the net increase in funds available to the government if the UK left the EU would not add up to much for the NHS. He conceded that it was hard to predict the impact Brexit might have on migration to the UK and hence demand for healthcare. As with so much of the EU debate, there are many unknowns. Vote Leave campaigners say officials like Mark Carney and Simon Stevens are part of an establishment attempt to create public hysteria over Brexit. Mr Stevens clearly feels he needs to say his piece before the British public decides. Mr Stevens rejected the idea, suggested by Leave campaigners, that exiting the EU would free up money that currently goes to Brussels. At best, this would fund the NHS for 19 days a year, he argued. Leave campaigner Penny Mordaunt had told Marr there would be more chance to spend more on the NHS with the £10bn dividend. The armed forces minister also said the NHS needed the ability to plan better and that uncontrolled immigration made it "impossible" for public services to do so. Asked about the impact of EU migrants on the health service, Mr Stevens said: "It clearly is the case that where those migrants are paying taxes that is contributing to the revenues that can afford an expanding NHS. "When the NHS was set up in 1948 we had a population of 50 million - we're at 65 million now - and the NHS has perfectly, successfully coped with a 15 million expansion in our population. Provided it is properly resourced from the proceeds of economic growth, it can do that." Mr Stevens also said the NHS had "benefited enormously" from having doctors, nurses and care workers from the EU working within the health service. There would be an impact if any of those 130,000 staff chose to leave the NHS because of uncertainty over work visas if the UK left the EU, he added. It could also be difficult for the UK to get treatments at an affordable price if the pound were affected by Brexit, because many drugs are priced in euros and dollars. Mr Stevens also told the show he believed that NHS England's deficit would come down "substantially" next year and that there was enough funding in place for the current year, but added: "The NHS will need to be able to share the fruits of economic growth in this country and that's why it's critically important for the NHS that the British economy continues to do well." EU for beginners: A guide UK and the EU: Better off out or in? A-Z guide to EU-speak Who's who: The Vote Leave team Who's who: The Remain campaign Mr Carney has been criticised for becoming involved in the debate, but Mr Stevens said: "Everybody else has got an opinion about the NHS. It is perfectly reasonable for the NHS itself, when asked, to lay out the balance of the advantage in an objective, non-sensationalist way." Prime Minister David Cameron later told ITV show Peston on Sunday that the country "wants to hear" from people like Mr Carney and Mr Stevens. And shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander said: "I would be the first to criticise the Tories' appalling record on the NHS. "However, if we vote to leave the EU on 23 June we risk plunging the NHS into an even deeper crisis - a crisis that could leave us with fewer doctors, fewer nurses and frontline services at risk of closure." A 25-year-old man was shot near the BP petrol station in Burley at around 15:00 GMT on Wednesday 24 December. West Yorkshire Police stressed officers were only interested in speaking to the men as witnesses and not as suspects. Another two men, aged 24 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and have been released on bail. The victim was treated in hospital for serious gunshot wounds to his abdomen, but has now been released. Det Ch Insp Mark McManus, of West Yorkshire Police, said the witnesses were seen on CCTV on Thornville Road near the petrol station at the time of the shooting. "I am appealing directly for the men themselves to contact us, or for anyone who recognises them to get in touch," he said. A white Audi and a dark hatchback car met at the scene, close to the Thornville Road junction with Alexandra Road, just before the shooting. Around 1,300 companies have stopped trading on the stock market in recent days to avoid losses. A commentary in Xinhua's Economic Information Daily says investors' negative sentiment in recent days is "exaggerated". "We believe that impact on the whole economy caused by the current stock market upheaval is limited. Chances of it turning into a systemic financial crisis is very minimal," notes the article. It explains that the losses incurred by financial institutions, "even in very extreme circumstances", are "within acceptable range which will not cause much hurt" to the economy. It adds that the government has intervened to save the stock market and "calm will eventually be restored". Noting that the stock market did not rebound on Wednesday even after the government's intervention, the People's Daily, the flagship newspaper of the Communist Party, urges "rationality and calm", while pointing out that "rumours" and "panic" have been driving sentiments. The article argues that China's economy remains stable and highlights that "the stock market's bad performance does not mean China's economy is bad". Pointing out that the government "still has room to stabilise the market", the commentary urges the authorities to "restore confidence". Other papers have echoed similar sentiments. The Beijing Times highlights that "major shareholders in listed companies will not sell off their share within the next six months". According to the report, a total of 111 state-owned enterprises have pledged not to reduce their holdings in different firms. A commentary in the Beijing News says that despite the risks, the fundamentals of the Chinese economy "remain unchanged and are getting stronger". "The downward pressure faced by the Chinese economy is part of growing pains," it says. The Meizhou Daily, a paper in southern Guangdong province, quote experts as saying that the stock market "will become stable in the future". An investment consultant tells the paper that investors need to wait for the market to "bottom out and eventually increase their holdings". Various online financial news platforms, including China Finance Information and China Fund Online, quotes investment guru Jim Rogers as saying that he is "buying more stocks and not selling any". Papers in Hong Kong, however, cast doubts over the government's attempts to prevent the market from going into free-fall. The Ming Pao daily worries that the intervention will do more harm than good. "The prices set by the authorities may not be accepted by the market. As such, the market seems weaker," notes the daily. A commentary in the South China Morning Post agrees, noting that the government intervention has "raised doubts over the leadership's willingness to embrace Western-style capitalism". The article, titled "The visible hand: how far will China go to embrace the free market?", states that China has "never drawn a clear line in the choice between a Maoist command economy and the free market". "The central government continues to embrace some elements of the free economy, but the latest intervention shows that it is still walking a tightrope between the two opposing ideologies," says the paper.

The 25-year-old victim fell through the corrugated plastic ceiling of a kitchen annexe in a basement flat on Charles Road on New Year's Day. He is thought to have fallen from a parapet after an incident in another flat, Sussex Police said. Post-mortem tests confirmed he died from injuries sustained in the fall. The matter has been reported to the coroner for East Sussex. Det Ch Insp Mike Ashcroft, who is leading the investigation, said: "We are keen to talk to anyone who may have information about what happened. "If they saw or heard anything suspicious, or may be able to help in any other way, I would urge them to contact us here quoting Operation Masefield." Two men aged 35 and 29, and two women aged 29 and 24 - all from St Leonards - and a 26-year-old man from Tring, Hertfordshire, have been bailed until 2 March pending further enquiries. Mark Mercer, 47, of Toll Bar Houses, Workington, is accused of taking ??1,530 from Maryport Post Office on Monday as well as several firearms offences. No pleas were entered during a brief hearing at Carlisle Magistrates' Court and Mr Mercer was remanded in custody. A 24-year-old woman also arrested in connection with the raid has been released on bail until 14 March. The programme did not broadcast its planned report last year, and weeks later BBC TV ran tributes to the late presenter - prompting accusations of a cover-up. Since then, further allegations against Savile have emerged during a widespread police investigation, and Newsnight had to apologise after broadcasting a report that led to a Tory peer being wrongly identified as a paedophile. Following the second report, BBC director general George Entwistle resigned, after just weeks in the job. Here is how events have unfolded: The inquiry into Newsnight's shelving of a report into sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile criticises BBC management but finds no evidence of a cover-up. A separate report is critical of the Newsnight report which led to Lord McAlpine being wrongly implicated in child abuse allegations. The editor and deputy editor of Newsnight are to be replaced. Police confirm that the number of alleged sex abuse victims of the late Jimmy Savile has reached 450. Officers on the Operation Yewtree investigation say 589 alleged victims have come forward during their investigation of offences committed by Savile and others. The chief executive of the Royal Opera House and the BBC's former director of news, Tony Hall, is appointed as the corporation's new director general. BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten says Lord Hall is "the right person to lead the BBC out of its current crisis". Lord Hall, who starts next March, says he is "committed to ensuring our news services are the best in the world". The BBC settles with Lord McAlpine over his libel claim about a Newsnight broadcast which led to him being wrongly implicated in child abuse. The damages, agreed 13 days after the broadcast, total £185,000 plus costs. "The settlement is comprehensive and reflects the gravity of the allegations that were wrongly made," the corporation said in a statement. The Tory peer had said it was "terrifying" to find himself "a figure of public hatred". The BBC begins disciplinary measures against some of those involved in the decision to run the Newsnight report on care homes in north Wales. The BBC's director of news Helen Boaden and her deputy Stephen Mitchell "step aside" from their roles, pending the results of Nick Pollard's inquiry into the management of Newsnight's report into Jimmy Savile, which was dropped. Head of Newsgathering Fran Unsworth becomes acting director of news, while the editor of the Today programme, Ceri Thomas, takes the acting deputy role. The moves are part of what acting director general Tim Davie calls "getting a grip" on the organisation by creating a "clear line of command". BBC Scotland director Ken MacQuarrie, who had been asked to look into what happened at Newsnight, finds that there was "ambiguity around who was taking the ultimate editorial responsibility for the report". Meanwhile, MPs, including deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman, take issue with George Entwistle's severance payment of £450,000 which is a year's salary rather than the six months he is entitled to under the terms of his contract. Lord Patten issues a letter explaining the BBC Trust's decision. Separately, Iain Overton resigns as editor of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, an independent body whose reporter Angus Stickler led the Newsnight investigation into the Wales abuse allegations. BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten says a "thorough, radical, structural overhaul" of the BBC is necessary in the wake of the director general's resignation. He adds a new director general will be chosen within weeks. Before his departure, Mr Entwistle had commissioned a report from BBC Scotland director Ken MacQuarrie into what happened with the Newsnight investigation. He reports his findings that day. George Entwistle resigns as BBC director general saying that "in the light of the unacceptable journalistic standards of the Newsnight film broadcast on Friday 2 November", he had decided it was "the honourable thing to do". His 54 full days in post make him the corporation's shortest-serving DG. The chief executive of BBC Worldwide, Tim Davie, is appointed acting director general. In an interview with the Today programme's John Humphrys, Mr Entwistle says he did not see the Newsnight report, which did not name Lord McAlpine but led to him being mistakenly implicated in child abuse at north Wales care homes, until after it had been broadcast. He also said that he had not seen tweets prior to the Newsnight report which flagged up its content, nor a front page newspaper article on the morning of the programme which said the story was based on mistaken identity. Former Conservative Party treasurer Lord McAlpine issues a denial over internet reports linking him to alleged historical child sexual abuse in north Wales, saying they are "wholly false and seriously defamatory". Within hours, victim Steve Messham apologises for mistakenly identifying the peer, saying police had shown him a picture of his abuser but incorrectly told him the man was Lord McAlpine. The BBC issues an unreserved apology for the part its Newsnight report played in Lord McAlpine being wrongly implicated in the alleged abuse and announces an "immediate pause" in all Newsnight investigations. 8 Nov 2012: This Morning ambushes Cameron Live on ITV's This Morning, presenter Phillip Schofield hands Prime Minister David Cameron a list of names which Mr Schofield says have been mentioned online as paedophiles. Mr Cameron, who does not look at the list, says he is "worried" that speculation about unproven allegations could lead to a "witch-hunt particularly against people who are gay" and advises anyone with evidence of abuse to go to the police. 6 Nov 2012: May announces police inquiry Home Secretary Theresa May announces a new police inquiry, led by the head of the National Crime Agency, into allegations of child abuse in north Wales in the 1970s and 1980s. Separately, Mrs Justice Julia Macur will investigate the terms of the Waterhouse abuse inquiry. Steve Messham, who made the allegation which ended up implicating Lord McAlpine, meets the Welsh Secretary. The prime minister says he is appointing a "senior independent figure" to look into the way allegations of sexual abuse at north Wales children's homes in the 1970s and '80s were dealt with. Newsnight broadcasts a report in which a man who was sexually abused when living in a children's home in north Wales in the 1980s, calls for a new investigation. In the report, Steve Messham says that a leading Thatcher-era Conservative politician abused him a number of times. Although the programme does not name the politician, it leads to speculation on the internet, which either names or implicates former Treasury minister Lord McAlpine. Hours before that evening's edition of Newsnight, the programme's former political editor Michael Crick tweets "'Senior political figure' due to be accused tonight by BBC of being paedophile denies allegations + tells me he'll issue libel writ agst BBC". He adds that the person - now known to be Tory peer Lord McAlpine - said he had not been contacted by the BBC for his response to the allegations. The tweets by Mr Crick, who now works for Channel 4, follow an earlier one made by Iain Overton, editor of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. Its reporter Angus Stickler led the Newsnight investigation. In a now deleted post on the social networking site, which has been retweeted 1,574 times, Mr Overton writes: "If all goes well we've got a Newsnight out tonight about a very senior political figure who is a paedophile." Mr Entwistle tells the culture select committee that the Newsnight investigation should not have been dropped. He is accused by MPs of a "lack of curiosity" after explaining why he did not ask director of BBC News Helen Boaden for further details on the Savile story when she mentioned it to him in 2011. The director general also tells MPs that he asked Newsnight editor Peter Rippon to step aside because of inaccuracies in his blog, rather than solely to allow the Pollard review to be carried out. A Panorama Special: Jimmy Savile - What the BBC knew investigates the Savile child abuse scandal and examines the events around the dropping of the corporation's own Newsnight investigation into the subject. The same day, Newsnight editor Peter Rippon steps aside for the duration of the Pollard inquiry into the dropping of his programme's report. The BBC also issues a correction to Mr Rippon's blog post of 2 October, saying it was "inaccurate or incomplete in some respects". In the light of the ITV investigation and a slew of further allegations against Savile in the press, Mr Entwistle announces two inquiries regarding the sex abuse claims. The first will look at whether there were any failings in the BBC's management of the Newsnight investigation relating to allegations of sexual abuse by Savile, including the broadcast of tribute programmes on the BBC, and will be led by former head of Sky News, Nick Pollard. The second, led by former High Court judge Dame Janet Smith, will examine the culture of the BBC during the years that Jimmy Savile worked there. ITV airs its investigation: Exposure, the Other Side of Jimmy Savile, in which several women allege he sexually abused them when they were teenagers. Ahead of an ITV programme to be broadcast the following day, Newsnight editor Peter Rippon writes in a blog that his programme's investigation of Savile at the end of 2011 was dropped for editorial reasons after the CPS said that a case had not been pursued because of to lack of evidence. He writes: "we had not established any institutional failure and I judged it weakened the story from a Newsnight perspective. I took the decision not to publish". George Entwistle takes over the BBC's top job, saying he is "the right man for the job" and will put programme makers and "outstanding creative originality" at the heart of the organisation. The chairman of the BBC Trust, Lord Patten, announces that George Entwistle has been appointed to succeed Mark Thompson as director general of the BBC, a post he will take up in September on a salary of £450,000 per year. A six-week BBC Newsnight investigation into claims that Savile abused youngsters is dropped. Tribute programmes to the presenter are aired over the Christmas and New Year period. At the time, director of BBC News Helen Boaden is director of BBC News and George Entwistle is director of BBC Vision, with overall responsibility for TV programme commissioning and scheduling. Mr Entwistle will later tell MPs that the pair had a brief discussion about the Newsnight investigation but that he did not ask Ms Boaden for further details. Former BBC TV presenter and Radio 1 DJ Jimmy Savile dies at the age of 84, at his home in the Roundhay district of Leeds. He is buried the following month in the seaside town of Scarborough. The 27-year-old Australian is on a season-long loan with the Red Devils, having missed the end of last season after being suspended by the Tigers. The former Sydney Roosters and Canberra Raiders player has scored six tries in 12 outings so far this season. "I feel right at home at Salford," Carney told the club website. "[Owner] Marwan Koukash was there from day dot for me and there are a lot of people like Michael Dobson, Weller Hauraki and Junior Sa'u I have played with previously and I work well with." Head coach Ian Watson added: "Justin is a real good bloke to have around the place. "He is a 100-miles-per-hour player and he is the top metre-maker in the competition this year. That's a big plus for any team." Andrew Green, 33, was last seen driving away from Yew Tree Farm in Chorley, Shropshire, on 22 June. Since appealing for him to come home, his parents Edward and Julie, have received offers via social media to help harvest their remaining 60 acres. The couple said they would gratefully accept, once the weather improves. Mrs Green told BBC News: "I can't believe it. I've been reading them out to Edward. He is overwhelmed with the offers. I don't think he could believe it." More update on this story and others in Shropshire Mr Green, 58, had recently been working from about 07:00 until 02:00 BST to harvest his farm that his son worked on and about 100 acres of land through contract harvesting. The couple said they had received messages of help and support from locals as well as people from as far away as Australia. Mr Green, who had been going through the breakdown of a relationship, was last seen by his partner after putting his two young daughters to bed. His father said he saw him put a rope in his car earlier that day, but thought nothing of it at the time. His vehicle was later found abandoned nearby with his phone and work keys inside. "He's got no money, no passport," Mrs Green said. "He's just got a rope and a photo of his children." She said not knowing his whereabouts was terrible and the distraught couple were "trying to keep it together". "We really miss him and just want him to come home," she said. Hundreds of people helped the family and police search 2,000 acres of nearby woodland and farmland after he disappeared. West Mercia Police has appealed for information in trying to trace him and said officers are working with the National Crime Agency and the Missing Persons Bureau. Worries ranging from China's slowdown to the euro crisis and a possible Brexit continue to unnerve investors. And while Japan is by no means a thriving economy, it still seems to provide more stability than many of the rest of the world's economies. That has sent the yen to a three-year high against the dollar. It is expected to remain strong. Yet if you just looked at the Japanese economy itself, that does come as somewhat of a surprise. Think Japan and you'll most likely be thinking quantitative easing, negative interest rates, deflation and the looming threat of recession. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic reform programme is widely seen as not having been quite as successful as the government had hoped. So on the face of it, Japan doesn't seem like the country you'd turn to if you wanted to park your money in a safe spot. "But safety is always a beauty contest - the definition of a safe haven is that it's merely safer than others," Martin Schulz of the Fujitsu Institute in Tokyo told the BBC. Yet how come investors see the yen as safer than the rest of the pack? "While there's a slowdown in Asia, Japan is on an expansionary monetary and fiscal course which means the domestic economy is well supported and faces very few domestic risks right now," Mr Schulz explains. "The overall Asian markets, however, are facing major risks both from commodity prices and the slowdown in China." In addition to that, there is the continuing concern over Europe; the eurozone crisis hasn't gone away and the upcoming referendum in the UK over whether to leave the European Union is significantly adding to the tensions. Across the Atlantic, the US economy is recovering slower than many had hoped and is not yet strong enough to shore up global growth. Paradoxically, the very monetary policy that is seen as reassuring by international investors was originally aimed at actually weakening the yen. The Bank of Japan's policy is part of the larger Abenomics reform agenda and the hope was that a lower yen would support the country's vital exporters and help get inflation up. After years of flat-lining, Japan's economy is still struggling to achieve notable growth rates. And the surging yen will make it even harder for Shinzo Abe's reforms to take hold. The country's benchmark Nikkei index on Monday fell sharply by 3.5% over the strong currency. Japanese goods are being made ever more expensive to export - because of the success of the currency in which they are priced. The Sweden captain, who has long been a confounding figure to those outside mainland Europe, was answering questions on why his goalscoring record against English opposition had failed to match the talent, reputation and hype that had followed him around the continent. "As always in England all the media were against me," he added. "There was all that talk: he doesn't score against English teams." "I don't need a Golden Ball to demonstrate that I am number one." "It's like they [Barcelona] bought a Ferrari and drive it like a Fiat." "I have won everything in Italy. I don't know what else I can still do here, other than keep going and build a collection." "I'd like to think I'm a spectacular player, a guy who can do extraordinary things and I'm at the perfect club [AC Milan] with this mentality." "We are an elite team. Even when I didn't play, the team [AC Milan] won." On Wednesday night, the 31-year-old striker came good with his promise and answered his critics in devastating fashion, raising three fingers to the crowd upon sealing his hat-trick. Last week for his club side Paris St Germain, Ibrahimovic created all four goals in the French team's Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb. In his homeland he dismantled Roy Hodgson's youthful line-up with four goals of his own in a performance described by Ibrahimovic's team-mate Tobias Sana as "Zlatan against children," adding: "He has been criticised in England and this proves them all wrong." Zlatan himself could not resist a jibe at his doubters: "That's the way it is with the English. If you score against them you're a good player, if you don't score against them you're not a good player. "I remember Lionel Messi before the 2009 Champions League final for Barcelona. Then he scored against Manchester United and suddenly he was the best player in the world. Maybe now they'll say something like that about me." Ibrahimovic has scored only three times in 15 appearances against English sides - Arsenal conceding all of them - and he failed to lead Sweden to victory over the English at Euro 2012. His sulky on-field demeanour has failed to capture the imagination outside of the Dutch, Spanish and Italian leagues where he has delivered nine league titles in 11 years (albeit, two titles at Juventus were subsequently revoked). Fabio Capello: "I believe that because of his power and his technique Zlatan will become stronger than Marco van Basten." Brian Laudrup: "Many people in Italy like to talk of how close Ibrahimovic is from becoming the best player in the world. What they seem to forget though, is that to be ranked as the best, you have to deliver in big away games. 'Ibra' doesn't do that. It's one of the reasons why he won't surpass Messi and Ronaldo." Martin O'Neill: "Ibrahimovic is the most over-rated player in the world." Gerard Pique: "He's a complete player, one of the best in the world." In July, big-spending Paris St Germain paid AC Milan a reported £15.7m for his services, taking his career total transfer fees to £133.2m. Upon signing he commented in typically maverick style: "I don't know much about the French league but they know who I am. This is the future." PSG are now top of the division and Ibrahimovic is the league's top scorer with 10 goals. Ibrahimovic's autobiography 'I am Zlatan' helps unravel the enigma that has enveloped his travels throughout Europe - from his upbringing in Malmo's troubled Rosengard district to the near 70m euro (£56m) transfer from Inter to Barcelona. A black belt in taekwondo, 'Ibra' has courted controversy on and off the pitch throughout a chequered career in which he has threatened to break Rafael van der Vaart's legs, and had a "life and death" fight with United States defender Oguchi Onyewu and a training-ground bust-up with French hardman Patrick Vieira. Coaches do not escape his wrath either, as Pep Guardiola can attest. Ibrahimovic said of his former boss at Barca: "I screamed at him: 'You have no balls' and things probably much worse than that, and then I added: 'You **** yourself over Jose Mourinho. You can go to hell.' "I was totally crazy. If I were Guardiola, I would've been scared." Sweden coach Eric Hamren has demonstrated total faith in his talisman, making him captain soon after succeeding Lars Lagerback, who stepped down following Sweden's failure to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. Lagerback, who gave the 19-year-old Malmo forward his debut 11 years ago, says Ibrahimovic has matured into one of the best players in the world. "When he was younger he always wanted to be the best, show off all the time and be in the team all the time. He still wants to be the best, but he does it in a more relaxed way. "One player on his own can't win a game but he can be decisive for winning matches, and Zlatan is that player for Sweden, he can do those extra things. "He can do things that no-one else can do. He is a world-class player - we don't have many in the national team playing on a level that he is." "Henrik Larsson said when he was playing with him that you always need to be on your toes because he can do the most unexpected things and if you focus and are ready 100% you can receive a pass that you never dreamed of." On Wednesday, England received from Zlatan a performance they never dreamed of. The Esk District Salmon Fishery Board said giving Usan Salmon Fisheries an additional 14 days to catch fish was "recklessly irresponsible". It has described the move as making "no sense at all" in terms of conservation. A government spokeswoman said there was no evidence the extension would have a detrimental impact on stocks. Usan Salmon Fisheries will be allowed to net and kill salmon between 1 September and 14 September, after the end of the statutory netting season on 31 August, for three years from 2012. The reason for the extension had been stated as "to compensate the fishery for disruption" caused by Marine Scotland Science having "access to fish and genetic samples during the commercial fishery season" for tagging research purposes. Hugh Campbell Adamson, chairman of the fishery board, said: "We are perturbed by the government's unilateral intention to allow netting in September. "It makes no sense at all from a conservation perspective to permit any additional pressure on salmon stocks." Mr Campbell Adamson said the government had paid Usan £30,000 for its assistance in procuring 95 salmon for radio-tagging between February and April, but an offer by the board to continue to make cash payments to the company as compensation for the tagging programme in May and June was rejected by Scottish government. The chairman said that instead the government is allowing Usan to kill up to 1,000 more salmon with a potential gross value of some £50,000. Mr Adamson said the move was in stark contrast to the government's promotion of catch and release to fishery boards and anglers, he added: "Usan's nets in the South Esk district killed 6,500 salmon last year. "It beggars belief that the netting season is now being lengthened." A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said it was fully committed to salmon conservation and that no license would have been granted had there been evidence it would have a detrimental impact on stocks. She added: "The licensed fishery has been granted in support of the National Fisheries Management Demonstration Project being carried out on the South Esk. "This is an innovative three year research project, being carried out by Marine Scotland Science, applying science-based management techniques to better understand the status of salmon stocks on the Esk." With a distinct history stretching back to the early middle ages, many Catalans think of themselves as a separate nation from the rest of Spain. This feeling is fed by memories of the Franco dictatorship, which attempted to suppress Catalan identity, and is nowhere more clearly expressed than in the fierce rivalry between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, Spain's top football clubs. A roughly triangular region in Spain's far north-east corner, Catalonia is separated by the Pyrenean mountains from southern France, with which it has close historical ties. Most of the region's population lives in Barcelona, its vibrant political and economic hub and a popular European travel destination. Holiday-makers also flock to the Mediterranean beaches of the Costa Brava and Costa Daurada/Dorada, and the Pyrenees are popular with hikers, making tourism an important part of Catalonia's economy. Profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring But it is manufacturing - traditionally textiles, but more recently overtaken in importance by the chemical industry, food-processing, metalworking - that make the region Spain's economic powerhouse, along with a growing service sector. The area first emerged as a distinct entity with the rise of the County of Barcelona to pre-eminence in the 11th century. In the 12th century, the county was brought under the same royal rule as the neighbouring kingdom of Aragon, going on to become a major medieval sea power. Catalonia has been part of Spain since its genesis in the 15th century, when King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile married and united their realms. Initially retaining its own institutions, the region was ever more tightly integrated into the Spanish state, until the 19th century ushered in a renewed sense of Catalan identity, which flowed into a campaign for political autonomy and even separatism. The period also saw an effort to revive Catalan, long in decline by then, as a language of literature. When Spain became a republic in 1931, Catalonia was soon given broad autonomy. During the Spanish Civil War, Catalonia was a key Republican stronghold, and the fall of Barcelona to Gen Francisco Franco's right-wing forces in 1939 marked the beginning of the end of Spanish resistance to him. Under Franco's ultra-conservative rule, autonomy was revoked, Catalan nationalism repressed and use of the Catalan language restricted. The pendulum swung back with the emergence of a democratic Spain after Franco's death. Catalonia now has is its own parliament and executive - together known as the "Generalitat" in Catalan - with extensive autonomy. Until recently, few Catalans wanted full independence, but Spain's painful economic crisis has seen a surge in support for separation. Many Catalans believe the affluent region pays more to Madrid than it gets back, and blame much of Spain's debt crisis on the central government. A regional government backed by the two main separatist parties - in power since snap elections in November 2012 - held an informal, non-binding vote on independence in 2014, with 80% of those taking part voting "yes". The Spanish government says Catalonia has no constitutional right to break away. The use of Catalan - a language as close to regional languages of southern France like Occitan as it is to Castilian Spanish - has equal status with Castilian and is now actively encouraged in education, official use and the media. However, Castilian predominates in Barcelona, and is still the first language of a narrow majority of Catalans, who are nearly all bilingual. Variants are also spoken in the region of Valencia to the south, and on the Balearic islands, leading many Catalan nationalists to regard all three regions- as well as the traditionally Catalan-speaking Roussillon region of France - as forming the "Catalan Countries". Ofcom found "serious weaknesses" in the Hull-based firm's emergency call service which meant people in the area could not make calls to 999 or 112. The regulator found it had broken rules to ensure people can contact emergency services at all times. KCOM operates the main telephone and broadband network in Hull. It is the only UK city not served by BT's Openreach, which controls the telecoms network. Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire Ofcom said KCOM notified the regulator on 28 December 2015 that its emergency call service for the Hull area had failed for around four hours. It said the failure was because of flooding at one of the BT's telephone exchanges in York in the wake of Storm Eva. However, Ofcom found that all emergency calls from customers in that area relied on the flooded telephone exchange in York. Under Ofcom rules, the telephone and broadband operator should have been able to automatically divert emergency calls via back-up routes. The investigation found that although the firm did have back-up routes in place, these also relied on the flooded telephone exchange in York. Ofcom said KCOM created an alternative route to carry emergency calls that bypassed the flooded telephone exchange in York within two hours of identifying the problem. The regulator said it expected telephone companies' services to be resilient enough "to the greatest extent possible" to connect emergency calls at all times, even in challenging circumstances. Shrewsbury frustrated the hosts in the opening stages, but Uwe Rosler's side finally found a way through in the 38th minute to continue their record of scoring in every league game. Amari'i Bell fed Devante Cole on the left and he fizzed the ball across the six-yard box for Northern Ireland full-back Conor McLaughlin to fire home. Bell was again influential as the hosts doubled their lead, pulling back for Ball to net his seventh of the season in the 53rd minute, after Shrewsbury had failed to fully clear Ball was in the action 20 minutes later as the forward sublimely wrapped his right foot around the ball and curled it into the top corner from just outside the area. The striker carved out a number of late opportunities but just missed out on completing his hat-trick as Fleetwood moved up to eighth and within a point of a play-off spot, while Chesterfield's win at MK Dons condemned Shrewsbury's return to bottom spot after consecutive losses.

It will be built at St Andrews University's sports centre at St Leonard's Road. Fife Schools will have regular access to the new centre on school days. Student tennis players will be encouraged to work with youngsters to develop coaching and volunteering experience. The £3m centre is being funded by St Andrews University, Sportscotland, Tennis Scotland, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), a private donor and the St Andrews alumni community. St Andrews is investing over £14m in its sports facilities. Work on the new centre will begin this week and is due to be complete in September. Mike Aitken, St Andrews director of tennis, said: "The building of a four-court indoor centre is hugely exciting for the whole tennis community. "It will be a fantastic venue offering a full coaching and competitive programme as well as pay and play for members of the community. We will cater for students, staff, schools, local clubs and disability groups by offering sessions for all levels. "We will also play our part in the district, Tennis Scotland and LTA development plans with competition, player development and coach education. "We hope to run a programme that will get more people playing more tennis at whatever level and provide a great experience for those using the facility."

"I am well aware Lewis is going to bounce back when he has a clean weekend and it will be the usual tough battle against him," the German said. "Sport is all about ups and downs. I just need to mentally prepare." Victory at Sochi was Rosberg's seventh in a row, dating back to last October's Mexican Grand Prix, the race after Hamilton had clinched his third world title. Only three other drivers in F1 history have achieved that feat - Alberto Ascari, Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel - and all went on to win the championship that year. But Rosberg said: "The other people did not have Lewis Hamilton as their team-mate. "Yes, I have a good points lead but there are 425 points to go and I have only a 43-point lead. It is completely not worth talking about. "Lewis is driving as strong as ever. For sure he will bounce back massively. He doesn't have an issue with fighting back either with his head. "I am sure we will see a lot more of the battle between us and it is always going to be a tough battle." Rosberg admitted becoming only the fourth driver in history to win seven in a row "sounds cool". However, he added: "It is not my focus. Yes, it is a great start but I just enjoy winning, race by race. Barcelona next." Rosberg's advantage means Hamilton would have to win and finish second without the German scoring to draw level. Hamilton finished second in Russia after starting 10th on the grid because of an engine failure in qualifying. The problem was in the same part that broke in China two weeks ago and left him at the back of the grid. He said: "He has a buffer knowing even if he has two bad weekends he is still in the fight, which is a huge confidence boost, and generally he has been starting at the front with no-one to really bother him, so it has been a nice Sunday drive for him. But there are still 17 races to go and still 17 races I can give him hell." But Hamilton said he was concerned about the likelihood of receiving grid penalties later in the season - because he was using up engines quickly and because he already has two reprimands and a third would mean an automatic 10-place grid penalty. "It's not that it hurts," said Hamilton, who was closing on Rosberg in Russia before being told to back off because his engine was losing water pressure. "I don't sit here all happy, because nothing has gone particularly well. I got myself back up there and wasn't able to fight for the win. "I believe I had a chance to win. That is the only thing in my mind. "Also I am running out of engines as the races go by. It is not hurting, it is just not great. "I am aware there is likely to be one more 10-place penalty because I have one more reprimand to go. The last one was just ridiculous." Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said the team had "let Hamilton down with the engine" and that they would urgently try to get to the bottom of the problems. "This is a mechanical sport and these things happen," Wolff said. "We had a problem on the MGU-K drive on Nico's car and it looked as if he might not finish the race. "We are pushing the limits a lot on the chassis and the engine a lot in order to have a competitive car and this is why we are winning races, but if you push the limits at a certain stage you go beyond them."

Marine James Wright, 22, from Juliet Company, 42 Commando Royal Marines, was from Weymouth in Dorset. The MoD said he died in Camp Bastion after he was attacked at a checkpoint following a foot patrol in the Nad-e Ali district of Helmand province. Marine Wright's family paid tribute to him, saying he "touched the lives of everyone who knew him". His patrol had been under fire from insurgents for several hours on Friday when they managed to return to their base at a checkpoint, which then came under attack. He was wounded by the grenade and died of his wounds despite receiving medical treatment. Marine Wright's father David said: "James was so proud to be a Royal Marine and we are so proud of him. He was determined to be the best." His mother Sallie added: "He was always smiling with a wonderful sense of humour. James never had a bad word to say about anyone and was so kind and considerate." The couple added: "James loved his family and was as proud of us as we are of him. He touched the lives of everyone who knew him." Marine Wright had been expecting his first child with his partner Shelley. Lt Col Ewen Murchison, Commanding Officer, 42 Commando Royal Marines, described Marine Wright as "an impressive young man with an insatiable appetite for life". He said: "A spirited and passionate character, he loved his job, his fellow Marines and his family and leaves behind a massive void in the lives of all those who knew him. "An extremely bright prospect, he was renowned for his cheerfulness, no matter how dire the situation, and indefatigable loyalty and commitment to his profession." Marine Wright, who joined the service in November 2009, took part in Navy ski championships in France, scaled Ben Nevis and had a passion for motocross. In their tributes, his fellow marines recounted how he had once rescued a cow that had got trapped in barbed wire near their base, and treated its injuries. They said his nickname was "Big Reach", because he once befriended a gangster on the streets of New York who used that name. He believed being a marine was the supreme job, saying, "it's more than just a beret; it's a state of mind". Defence Secretary Liam Fox said Marine Wright was "a hero who died for his country". "Marine James Wright was by all accounts a man of great character and ability, fearless in battle and a model Marine. "The tributes from his family and comrades say it all: he was a hero who died for his country. They have my deepest respect and sympathy." His death took the total number of UK military deaths in Afghanistan since operations started in 2001 to 378. After the abandonment of Sunday's opener, the Afghans posted a decent 250 total, with Mohammad Shahzad hitting 66 and Najibullah Zadran contributing 59. In reply, Ed Joyce and skipper William Porterfield put on 71 for the first wicket before a mid-innings collapse. Sussex batsman Joyce hit 62, but Kevin O'Brien was the next best scorer on 35. O'Brien and Barry McCarthy both took four Afghanistan wickets, but the visitors' total still proved comfortably beyond the Irish. The hosts opted to move regular opener Paul Stirling down to number six as Joyce opened with Porterfield. John Anderson's departure left the home side on 160-4 but Stirling could only manage 16 as he was dismissed shortly after O'Brien's exit to leave the Irish in trouble at 189-6. The Irish tail was unable to wag after that as Tim Murtagh's dismissal by Dawlat Zadran ended the contest. John Bracewell's Irish side were suffering another reverse after their 136-run hammering by Sri Lanka at Malahide last month, which was their heaviest ever home defeat. Team captain Porterfield admitted that his team's batting performance hadn't been good enough. "We didn't get across the line with the bat. We've got the rectify that for Thursday's game," said Porterfield. The sides meet again at Stormont on Thursday before the two concluding games in the series at the same venue on Sunday and next Tuesday.

By using powerful microscopes, scientists from Cambridge University now know how ants keep themselves clean. They use parts of their body which look a lot like small combs and brushes. Ants and most other insects all have antennae. They look like hairy feelers coming out of their head and face. They rely on their antennae for lots of different tasks: smelling food, finding mates and also, very importantly, communicating with each other. If the sensitive hairs which cover their antennae get dirty, then the insects find it really hard to find food and reproduce. Up until now scientists have been uncertain about how exactly ants keep their antennae clean. Dr Alexander Hackmann and from the University of Cambridge made the discovery with his colleagues. They were using microscopes to look at, camponotus rufifemur, ants. The microscope helps the scientist see really small details on the insect's body which are not visible to the naked eye. Dr Hackmann says: "Ants have a special cleaning structure on their front legs that is used to groom their antennae. A notch and spur covered in different types of hairs form a cleaning device, similar in shape to a tiny lobster claw. "During a cleaning movement, the antenna is pulled through the device which clears away dirt particles using 'bristles', a 'comb' and a 'brush'." The scientists think that this discovery could actually help the technology industry in a big way. Contamination can be a big problem for technological devices, especially as the parts which make up the devices and technology we use every day, get smaller and smaller. This discovery could help scientists and engineers develop new ways to clean those really small parts. The 22-year-old former British number one was forced to retire from her qualifying match against American Madison Brengle on Sunday. But on Monday she tweeted: "Getting solid treatment on my leg and will be all good for Wimbledon." Robson is currently ranked 308 in the world after missing much of 2014 and 2015 with a wrist problem. She finally returned to action at Indian Wells in March this year, her first WTA Tour event since August 2015. The Australia-born player had wrist surgery in April 2014 and as consequence was sidelined for more than a year. She then had further surgery towards the end of 2015, which led to her missing the 2016 Australian Open in January. The 2008 Wimbledon junior champion achieved a career-high ranking of 27 in 2013, having reached the last 16 of Wimbledon that year and the US Open in 2012, before suffering the wrist injury. She has been awarded a wildcard for this year's Wimbledon, which begins on Monday, 27 June. British women's number four Tara Moore and 17-year-old compatriot Katie Swan, who was the 2015 junior Australian Open finalist, have also been handed wildcards.

He told a think tank's magazine he was "slower than some" in recognising the assembly was here to stay. Mr Crabb, who has unveiled plans to give more powers to Wales, said he was no longer a "devo-sceptic". He urged opposition parties in the assembly to co-operate to force Labour from power at the 2016 election. Mr Crabb told the Institute of Welsh Affairs magazine The Welsh Agenda he was surprised at the size of the majority voting in favour of full law-making powers for the assembly in the 2011 referendum. "I was slightly wrong-footed by this," he said. Referring to his own Preseli Pembrokeshire parliamentary seat, he added: "I didn't anticipate that people in Pembrokeshire were going to vote for full law-making powers for the assembly in quite the way they did. "What that says is there has been a major shift in Welsh public sentiment about devolution since that first referendum [in 1997]." Mr Crabb said he would no longer describe himself as a "devo-sceptic" or agree, as he wrote in 2007, that devolution was leading to "constitutional vandalism". On the prospect of unseating the Labour Welsh government in the May 2016 election, he said: "We need to be thinking about the C-word - coalition. "I want the other parties in the assembly to think in different ways about how to achieve a non-Labour alternative." As for his own future, Mr Crabb said he did not have "an ambition" to be Conservative leader but would like to do another cabinet job, as long as he had "the opportunity to bring my own values to bear and my own thinking". "That's what I love about the job of being Secretary of State for Wales," he added. Gultan Kisanak was held at the local airport, while Firat Anli was arrested at his home in the south-eastern city. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to prosecute local officials accused of links to the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). In September, 28 elected mayors in largely Kurdish towns were sacked. They were replaced by trustees appointed by the government using an emergency law that came into force following a failed army-led coup in July. The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), whose mayors were principally affected, condemned September's sackings as a "coup by trustees". The PKK was formed in the late 1970s and launched an armed struggle against the Turkish government in 1984, calling for an independent Kurdish state within Turkey. Since then, more than 40,000 people have died. In the 1990s, the organisation rolled back on its demands for an independent Kurdish state, calling instead for more autonomy for the Kurds. Last year, a ceasefire reached in 2013 appeared to be over when Turkey launched air strikes against PKK camps in northern Iraq. A report looking at the 226 English clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in October 2014 says the average journey for a patient was 13 miles (22km). But six teams saw patients travelling on average more than 100km (62 miles). Patients in Brighton and Great Yarmouth and Waveney faced the longest average distance, NHS statistics show. Vicki Nash, head of policy and campaigns at mental health charity Mind, said: "When someone is in a mental health crisis, they are at their most vulnerable. 2A good support network of friends and family can play a key part in recovery, but if someone is sent far from home... friends and family may be less likely to be able to visit. "We know that bed numbers have been dropping over the last few years, making it harder for people to get the help they need, when and where they need it. It's not acceptable." The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) report said the majority of people had a distance of less than 10km (6 miles), but one in 10 people (1,665) had a distance of 50km (31 miles) or more and one in 20 (778) people have to travel 100km (62 miles) or more. The report says: "The data shows that people living in the South and East of England, particularly in CCGs covering large geographic areas, such as NHS Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG (median of 94.4km to treatment for 15 people treated) are more likely to travel further to treatment on average." A spokesman for HealthEast, the CCG for Great Yarmouth and Waveney, said: "Beds for mental health patients are arranged by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, who will look for the closest available appropriate bed to the patient's home. "It is important to note that patients living in Great Yarmouth and Waveney are only placed out of the area very occasionally and when appropriate. "We will continue to work with the mental health trust to ensure people are treated as close to home as possible." A spokesman for Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG said: "Geographically, the Ipswich and East Suffolk CCG covers a large area, and in its report, the HSCIC recognises this as a major factor affecting distances travelled by the 15 east Suffolk mental health patients. "The priority of the CCG is to always place patients in the most appropriate care setting as close to home as possible, and this happens in the majority of cases." A spokeswoman for Bristol CCG said it was "working in partnership with Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust to prevent anyone being transported out of area for their care and treatment". The expedition will use new types of rock drill developed in the UK and Germany to retrieve cores from up to 80m below the seabed. The target of interest is the Atlantis Massif, a 4km-high underwater mountain. Scientists say its rocks may hold clues to the origins of life on Earth and its potential on other planets and moons. The team is interested in the process of serpentinisation, which involves the alteration of material brought up from the mantle. This occurs along the mid-Atlantic Ridge - the rugged chain of formations stretching down the centre of the ocean, where new crust is being created. Rocks that contain iron- and magnesium-rich minerals (olivine) react with seawater to produce gases such as hydrogen and methane. And this chemistry can then drive the metabolism of simple organisms. "They can 'eat' hydrogen, they can eat methane, they can eat some of the smaller carbon compounds that are formed by the reaction of water with these rocks," explained expedition co-chief scientist Dr Beth Orcutt. "They get energy under those conditions to help them grow, and to form new cells," the researcher from the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in Maine, US, told BBC News. The Atlantis Massif is known to be an excellent location for studying this process. Back in 2000, an expedition stumbled across huge towers of carbonate on one side of the mountain. These pillars were precipitated in the hot, alkaline waters created by serpentinisation. Scientists have already sampled the biology around them, finding abundant single-celled microorganisms known as Archaea. They now want to drill into the nearby rock itself to see if different types of microbes persist and how exactly they function. Normally, this exercise would be run from a rig on a specially adapted ship. But the team is going to the massif on a standard research vessel. The UK-based RRS James Cook will deploy remote-controlled drill mechanisms, in what is a first for this type of expedition. These systems, which are about the size of a shipping container, will be lowered on to the underwater mountain by a winch. Once on the seabed, their weight will keep them steady. The machines carry a cartridge full of drill rods and core barrels that they add together to push tens of metres into the underlying rock. Sensors and sampling equipment can also be lowered into the hole to make a range of scientific measurements. "It is quite deep down - 750m to 1,750m below the sea surface," said Dr Carol Cotterill, a senior marine geophysicist with the British Geological Survey. "We have two remote drills: the BGS RD2 and the Marum Mebo drill. They're both big bits of kit. "They're attached by umbilicals, and each of them has cameras on them that send live feeds to the surface. "So, the minute these drills are deployed, the respective drill teams will rush to their container control rooms to start running operations." Researchers are fascinated by the process of serpentinisation because of what it could say about life's ability to thrive in even the most extreme circumstances. It has been posited that life on Earth may even have started in locations where upwelling rock from the mantle meets the ocean. And scientists who study the possibility of living things beyond our planet consider such processes to be among the most likely means to sustain biology elsewhere in the cosmos. Next Wednesday, the Cassini probe at Saturn will make an ultra-close flyby of the moon Enceladus. It will be trying to sample water jets spewing from the little world's south polar region. Mission scientists hope to be able to detect molecular hydrogen, which could be seen as a strong indicator that serpentinisation is taking place at the base of the global ocean suspected to lie under Enceladus's ice crust. "Wherever you have this general composition of rock and water, you could make hydrogen and methane. And some astrobiologists are hoping to send probes to look for methane and hydrogen in different places throughout the Solar System, including Mars," commented the Atlantis expedition's other co-chief scientist, Prof Gretchen Früh-Green from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Closer to home, researchers are also interested in the process of serpentinisation because it works to lock away the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. The carbonate precipitations created at locations such as the Atlantis Massif are fed by the CO2 that has dissolved in seawater from the atmosphere. These deposits can stay stable for tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of years. The $3.5m (£2.3m) Atlantis Massif expedition has been organized by ECORD, the European Consortium of Ocean Research Drilling, as part of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). The use of the RRS James Cook is an in-kind contribution from the UK's Natural Environment Research Council.

The fire service said four pumps and three fire crews were pumping water away from the animals. The trapped animals have been moved into evacuation pens away from rising water. Live updates on this story and others from Yorkshire The farmer was "very appreciative" the crews saved the animals, the fire service said. The Red Hands, who beat Derry in the 2016 decider, are in Section C of the provincial competition which starts on Sunday, 8 January. The Oak Leafers have been drawn in the Section A along with Down, Armagh and Queen's University. Section B will be contested by Monaghan, Fermanagh, Antrim and the students of St Mary's. Tyrone's meeting with Donegal will be a repeat of this year's Ulster SFC final, won by the Red Hands. Regenerus - formerly South Sefton Development Trust - is staging the Ten Years of Another Place event at Crosby Lakeside Adventure Centre on Monday. The exhibition, which runs until 1 November, is one of several events. The 100 statues should have gone to New York in 2006 but the council allowed them to remain as a tourist attraction. Regenerus chief executive Cate Murphy said the Another Place exhibition would tell the story of why Antony Gormley - who also created The Angel Of The North - chose Crosby as the location for his artwork, and include many little-known facts about the installation. It will also feature atmospheric images of the iron men taken by acclaimed Crosby-based photographer Ron Davies. The naked cast iron statues, which are more than 6ft high (189cm) and weigh 1,400lbs (650kg), are on a two-mile (3.2km) stretch of beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands. At one time Sefton Council wanted the statues removed due to safety concerns as the coastguard reported people getting cut off by the tide when they visited. The council changed its mind after some of the ones in a more dangerous location were relocated. For months, pro-Russian separatists have fought Ukrainian forces in two eastern regions of Ukraine but a fragile ceasefire has been agreed by both sides. Despite repeated violations of this truce, Babatunde signed a one-year deal with Ukrainian Premier League side Dnipro last week after terminating his contract at rivals FC Volyn Lutsk. I have been playing in this country for four years and I feel very safe to continue my professional career here "The club and league organisers have taken every precaution with the security of the players, officials, fans and everyone involved in Ukrainian football," he told BBC Sport. "Life here is normal and they've also ensured that we don't travel or play where there are security concerns. "I have been playing in this country for four years and I feel very safe to continue my professional career here." The 22-year-old made his debut for 2015 Europa League finalists Dnipro when they beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 at the Chornomorets Stadium in the Black Sea city of Odessa on Friday. The nine-time Ukrainian champions Shakhtar are homeless because their Donbass Arena was shelled during fierce battle last year. Amid all this turmoil in the Eastern European country, Babatunde insists he felt safe in Odessa, the scene of a major fire last year. "I know Shakhtar couldn't play in Donetsk, but the game took place in Odessa and not Lviv, but it was a good game and atmosphere," he said. "I am a footballer so my focus was on the football and we felt safe and happy to beat Shakhtar away." The skilful winger, who has been in Ukraine since 2011, rejected offers from Norwegian and Chinese clubs to play European competition with Dnipro. "I'm very familiar with the country and league but Dnipro also provides the opportunity to play in the Europa League. "The club reached the final of the competition last season and they are hungry to go a step further this season. "We have a good team and I have a strong feeling that we can achieve something as a team," Babatunde added. Babatunde, who made his international debut against Mexico in June 2013, played for Nigeria against Chad in a recent 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Kaduna. He also represented his country at the 2013 Fifa Confederations Cup and the 2014 Fifa World Cup. One of Nigeria's standout performers at the World Cup in Brazil, he suffered a fractured wrist in the final group game against Argentina. He underwent surgery and missed the rest of the World Cup before a lengthy spell on the sidelines kept him out of international football. But a fit-again Babatunde made an emotional return for the Super Eagles 2-0 win against Chad in June. A bid was submitted last year by supporters who say the industry has shaped the social, political, economic and cultural landscape of Wales. A World Heritage Site is chosen for its outstanding universal value to culture, history or science. Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan said heritage status would boost tourism. Gwynedd's slate industry is one of the final 11 contenders announced by UK Tourism and Heritage Minister John Penrose to form the new tentative list for potential nominations for the status. The 11 sites have been whittled down from 38. Nominations from the list will be submitted from 2012 based on the strength of their case. Mrs Gillan said the slate industry had played a dominant role in shaping the landscape and economy of north Wales since the 19th Century. "Tourism is vitally important to the north Wales economy," she said bringing in up to £1.8bn of income to the region and supporting around 37,000 jobs. 'Global significance' "Heritage status would help show the world just what Wales has to offer - from areas of outstanding beauty to dramatic industrial heritage." Gwynedd council leader Dyfed Edwards said: "I am delighted that the government has recognised the global significance of the Gwynedd slate quarrying industry, and am now looking forward to working with Gwynedd's slate communities and our partners to develop our submission to Unesco." The entire process of being selected for world heritage status can take between five and 10 years. The bid must now move onto a nomination list where it will be assessed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the World Conservation Union (IUCN). If successful, the application is then judged by the World Heritage Committee, which meets once a year to decide which sites will be inscribed on the world heritage List. The Pilgrims lost the League Two play-off final last month and have just four senior players signed for 2016-17. "Derek Adams, being the thorough guy he is, has been going through his targets of players," he told BBC Spotlight. "We've been making offers to a considerable number, relative to the size of squad we're going to have." Adams has been in charge of the Devon side for a year and offered contracts to 13 players at the start of June, with pre-season training starting in two weeks time. However none have yet accepted new deals, with defender Peter Hartley and goalkeeper-coach James Bittner rejecting terms to join Bristol Rovers and Newport County respectively. "I'm not sure it's normal or abnormal really," Starnes added. "We've got very strong indications of the players that are going to be joining us, so we're very happy actually with the progress that's being made. "These days in football players come, players go and there will be equally a number of players that will want to come and join Plymouth Argyle - I know that for a fact because they've told us." The Old Town Hall in central Oldham will eventually house a seven-screen cinema and six restaurants. It was built in 1841 but stopped being used as a public building in the 1990s. The development, due to open next spring, is at the centre of the council's regeneration plans for the town centre and will see the creation of 74 full-time and 159 part-time jobs. Contractors, who have been working on the site since October 2013, have found lost items like spectacles, coins, shoes, council papers - and even an old photograph of Marilyn Monroe (pictured). Oldham Council Leader Jim McMahon said contractors were "undertaking painstaking work" to restore the building. Barry Roberts, area director at Morgan Sindall, said: "This is a fascinating project to be involved with from a technical perspective. "It requires a blend of care, consideration and energy to deliver the restoration." The Old Town Hall will have five restaurants on the ground floor and one on the first. The social network had introduced a temporary ban in May following complaints that the clips could cause long-term psychological damage. The US firm confirmed it now believed its users should be free to watch and condemn such videos. It added it was, however, considering adding warnings. One suicide prevention charity condemned the move. "It only takes seconds of exposure to such graphic material to leave a permanent trace - particularly in a young person's mind," said Dr Arthur Cassidy, a former psychologist who runs a branch of the Yellow Ribbon Program in Northern Ireland. "The more graphic and colourful the material is, the more psychologically destructive it becomes." Two of the firm's official safety advisers have also criticised the decision. Facebook allows anyone aged 13 and above to be a member. Its terms and conditions now state that it will remove photos or videos that "glorify violence" in addition to other banned material, including a woman's "fully exposed breast". The BBC was alerted to Facebook's change in policy by a reader who said the firm was refusing to remove a page showing a clip of a masked man killing a woman, which is believed to have been filmed in Mexico. It was posted last week under the title, Challenge: Anybody can watch this video? "Remove this video too many young innocent minds out there shouldn't see this!!!" wrote one user in the comments section below. "This is absolutely horrible, distasteful and needs to be removed... there are too many young minds that can see this. I'm 23 and I'm very disturbed after seeing a couple of seconds of it," wrote another. The social network later confirmed it was allowing such material to be posted again. "Facebook has long been a place where people turn to share their experiences, particularly when they're connected to controversial events on the ground, such as human rights abuses, acts of terrorism and other violent events," said a spokeswoman. "People are sharing this video on Facebook to condemn it. If the video were being celebrated, or the actions in it encouraged, our approach would be different. "However, since some people object to graphic video of this nature, we are working to give people additional control over the content they see. This may include warning them in advance that the image they are about to see contains graphic content." The firm also disabled the adverts for third-party products that had been appearing alongside the video. Facebook originally pulled decapitation videos after the Family Online Safety Institute - a member of its Safety Advisory Board - complained that they "crossed a line". The charity's leader Stephen Balkam told the BBC he was surprised by the latest development. "I would have expected a heads-up on this," he said. "I went to have a look at the video and there's no warning label nor is there any condemnatory context. It's just sort of up there and the first image you are presented with is a woman's head being held by a guy. "I'm very unhappy that these have gone back up and that they have gone up without any warning. First thing tomorrow morning I intend to raise this with Facebook." Another of the board members, London-based Childnet International, said it also had concerns. "Such content should be taken down," said its chief executive Will Gardner. "There is a need to raise issues happening around the world, there is that argument, but some content is horrific. "We would want to see steps to try and protect people from coming across such content. I'll tell Facebook what our view is, absolutely." Decapitation videos are available elsewhere on the net but critics have raised concern that Facebook's news feeds and other sharing functions mean it is particularly adept at spreading such material. "I have seen some of these videos - they are profoundly shocking," said John Carr, who sits on the executive board of the UK government's Council on Child Internet Safety. "Facebook has taken leave of its senses. Those videos will fuel countless nightmares among the young and the sensitive." Google's rival Google+ social network has a more restrictive policy: "Do not distribute depictions of graphic or gratuitous violence." The idea of Facebook issuing a similar blanket ban had, however, concerned some freedom-of-speech campaigners who had suggested it was the responsibility of parents - not the company - to protect children on the internet. However, the French digital rights group La Quadrature du Net said it was still concerned that Facebook was reserving the right to take down the videos if it took issue with the way they were presented. "It shows how much Facebook is in power to decide whatever will or will not be expressed through its network," said the organisation's co-founder Jeremie Zimmermann. "It plays a profoundly anti-democratic role when it makes any such choice, whatever the limits are and whatever the good reasons it uses to make the decision. Only a judicial authority should be able to restrict fundamental freedoms according to the rule of law." Jamie Jones-Buchanan went over, but Salford replied through George Griffin and went ahead with a penalty. Salford's Gareth O'Brien was sin-binned and Kallum Watkins gave Rhinos a half-time lead, before the hosts scored 20 second-half points without reply. James Segeyaro, Carl Ablett and Adam Cuthbertson's tries left the visitors with only one win in four Qualifiers. Salford remain sixth, level on points with fifth-placed London Broncos as they chase a place in the Million Pound Game and a chance to return to Super League, with only three matches left to play. Leeds: Sutcliffe; Briscoe, Watkins, Keinhorst, Hall; Moon Burrow; Galloway, Segeyaro, Singleton, Ferres, Ablett, Jones-Buchanan. Replacements: Cuthbertson, Ward, Garbutt, Lilley. Salford: Evalds; J Griffin, Sa'u, Jones, Vidot; O'Brien, Dobson; Burgess, Tomkins, G Griffin, Murdoch-Masila, Hauraki, Flanagan. Replacements: Kopczak, Lannon, Krasniqi, Lui. He will take over from Strathclyde University principal Sir Jim McDonald, who has stepped down after six years. Dr Sibbald is currently the executive chairman of data analytics firm Aridhia and chairman of tech business Sumerian. Glasgow Science Centre said it hoped the appointment would help to maximise its commercial opportunities and attract additional investment. Chief executive Dr Stephen Breslin said: "The centre is a charity with a mission to make science accessible for everyone. "To maintain our momentum and to keep the centre relevant in this fast-paced and commercially volatile world, we need a chair that can guide the board and provide an entrepreneurial business focus to our activities to ensure that the centre will be able to invest in its ambitious growth plans." Dr Sibbald said: "The centre is more than just a visitor centre - it will draw people through who might otherwise be 'turned off' or 'scared' of science. "I believe that this outstanding venue will play a key role in driving forward education around the need to attract more people into STEM subjects and engaging kids, parents and teachers is part of that." Defender Jones twisted an ankle and midfielder Herrera injured a hamstring, and both miss Wednesday's Champions League game with PSV Eindhoven. Van Gaal said: "The first impression is they are not heavy injuries." A late Troy Deeney own goal gave Van Gaal's side a 2-1 win at Vicarage Road. Deeney bundled Bastian Schweinsteiger's cross into the net having cancelled out Memphis Depay's opener just three minutes earlier. Jones and Herrera join a list of absentees that now totals nine players, leaving the Dutchman short of options for Wednesday's game at Old Trafford. Strikers Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial missed out against the Hornets, which gave Depay a chance to start his first league match since 4 October. "Rooney is ill and illness is a matter of days, not weeks," said Van Gaal. "Martial has a foot problem. It is not so heavy as the media has written but you never know. We have to wait and see." Having said on Friday he expected more from £31m summer signing Depay, Van Gaal was pleased with his fellow Dutchman's contribution on Saturday. He said: "The first goal was superb. It was a fantastic pass from Herrera. Depay finished it very well. I also think he played a very good game in the first half." The 24-year-old Englishman, from High Wycombe, finished on 23 under par, four shots clear of South African Richard Sterne and England's Ross Fisher. Hatton carded a six-under 66 on Sunday having equalled the St Andrews Old Course record with a 62 on Saturday. "It's a dream come true," Hatton told BBC Sport. "To do it here is fantastic. I'm just over the moon that I got over the line. There have been a few experiences this year when I have been in the final group. "Wentworth was a big one where I didn't have any patience. I wanted a quick start but didn't get that and got down on myself. "It was a new experience today going out leading but I knew I just had to stay patient and play my own game." Hatton's score matched the best in the event's 16-year history and he picks up the first prize of £640,380, taking his season's earnings to around the £2m mark. The team prize was won by the pairing of Masters champion Danny Willett and his caddie Jonathan Smart, who recorded a score of 38 under par. Willet missed the cut for the individual event but says his experience of playing alongside the man who carries his bag on a weekly basis will live with him for a long time to come. "It's been a great week all round." said Willett. "To be able to play three of the best links courses in Scotland with your pal not on your bag but walking down the fairways with you, I think we would both have taken it." Grant Forrest from East Lothian was playing in his first event as a professional and finished with a creditable score of six under par and tied for 41st, giving him a healthy cheque of around £25,000. The 23-year-old had a sterling career as an amateur but decided to delay his move into the pro ranks for a year because he didn't feel quite ready for the step up. "My plan was to turn pro after the Walker Cup last year but I struggled a little towards the end of the season." explained Forrest. "I felt I wanted to turn pro when I was on a good run so decided to have another year as an amateur and work on my game and now was the right time." Forrest already has a number of invitations in place for next season but his immediate focus will now be to try and achieve his card at Tour School in November. "Tour School is a tough place. I believe I can do well there so that is the plan." John Price, 82, of Ash Tree Close, Bedale, North Yorkshire is alleged to have tried to put the boys into a trance before molesting them. The defendant denies 13 charges dating from the 1970s and 80s when he worked in York and Pocklington, East Yorkshire. Mr Price told Teesside Crown Court he had done nothing to be ashamed of. Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire The court earlier heard the alleged victims, then aged between 11 and 17, would be offered hypnosis to help with stress and pain before being assaulted. Giving evidence, Mr Price said he did not know how to hypnotise anybody and denied ever saying he had the ability. He added he "only very vaguely" remembered the boys and denied any of the alleged abuse had taken place. During cross-examination the defendant was asked about a conviction from 1999 involving a 14-year-old boy. Paul Newcombe, prosecuting, read extracts from a newspaper article on the case but Mr Price insisted it was not true. Mr Newcombe said: "So, the jury in the case that we are reading about got it wrong?" Mr Price replied: "That is my belief." Later, Mr Price would say of the alleged victims: "I did nothing to them for which I would be ashamed." Mr Newcome replied: "Probably the reason you felt no shame is because you were, and remain, a paedophile." Mr Price replied: "That's your opinion but it's not true." The trial continues.

Via our Facebook accounts for: Liam Adams was convicted on Tuesday of abusing his daughter over a six-year period. It began when she was four. Speaking in Dublin, Gerry Adams was asked a number of times why he did not report his brother to the authorities. He said: "The police were aware over 20 years ago and there is a lot of disinformation being flung about". He added: "But let me say this, this has been and continues to be a huge ordeal for my family - we're a very large family - especially for Áine, but for all members of my family. "And I think people need to be given the space to come to terms with all of that. "And if it was your family, you would want the same respect and space and privacy on these matters." The Sinn Féin president made his first report to the police about the allegations in 2007, shortly after his party voted to accept the Police Service of Northern Ireland. In 2009, Gerry Adams made a second statement to police, telling officers that his brother Liam had confessed to him nine years earlier, in 2000, that he had sexually abused his daughter Áine. Northern Ireland's first minister, Peter Robinson, was asked on Wednesday whether Gerry Adams has questions to answer following the conviction of his brother. Mr Robinson expressed his sympathy to the victim, who, he said, "has waited so long for justice" and said it is up to the authorities to determine if anyone else has questions to answer. He said he did not want to "make politics out of a very sad situation". By the close of trade, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index was down 0.9% at 16,498.76. Shares in carmaker Nissan fell 0.8% as reports suggested the company might sell its stake in auto parts supplier Calsonic Kansei. The sale would generate cash to help develop electric cars and artificial intelligence, the Nikkei newspaper reported. Last month, Nissan took a 34% stake in Mitsubishi Motors to support the embattled company after it admitted falsifying fuel consumption figures. Major foreign car parts makers, as well as US and European investment funds, appear to be interested in the stake, the Nikkei reported. In China, the mainland Shanghai Composite index closed 0.8% lower at 2,821.67, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended flat at 19,830.43. South Korea's Kospi index ended the trading day down 0.9% at 1,937.68. In Australia, the ASX/200 closed 0.4% lower at 5,295.60. Anil Vannavalli, 34, was waiting for a train at the Edison station in New Jersey on Friday when Madhuri Recherla, 26, fainted and fell onto the tracks. He jumped on the track and pulled Ms Recherla back to safety, but somebody stole his backpack in the process. Edison Police said the theft was "disgusting", and gifted $1,000 (£774) to the "Good Samaritan" on Tuesday. "This theft, perpetrated in the midst of such a selfless good deed, seems so very disgusting and outrageous," Police Chief Thomas Bryan said in a statement. Ms Recherla also thanked her colleague, adding that she fainted because she hadn't eaten anything. Mr Vannavalli backpack contained his work laptop, headphones and $200 in cash. Local media reported that the police were looking at surveillance video to find the thief. It happened in St James Mews, off the Antrim Road, at about 21:00 BST on Sunday. Police said two men entered a house and attacked the victim. Police are treating it as attempted murder. ACC Stephen Martin told BBC Radio Ulster: "He has quite severe injuries, I think he has several fractures." The officer appealed for anyone with information about the attack to come forward. The Irish News has reported that the victim had been under threat from dissident republicans. During his interview with Good Morning Ulster, ACC Martin was asked if the police investigation was focused on any particular group. "It's early days, but what I would move to reassure people is, we don't at this stage see anything that would make us think it's a sectarian motivation," the officer replied. "We have to condemn this type of activity. Seventeen years after the all-party agreement - the Good Friday Agreement - this type of behaviour is just unacceptable." There has been a sharp rise in the use of so-called "cleaner fish" which push down the amount salmon producers have to spend on medicinal treatment. The fish - mostly wrasse - are housed in salmon cages to attack and eat parasitic sea lice. The industry insists it is now getting a grip on the sea lice problem. But environmental groups fear a lack of regulatory safeguards to protect the wild wrasse could lead to them being over-fished. Figures from the Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation (SSPO) show that in 2016-17, £14m was spent on "biological" treatments for salmon, mainly through cleaner fish. The previous year the figure was £5.2m. In contrast, the spend on controversial "medicinal" treatments fell from £18.5m in 2015-16 to £13.8m last year. The overall spend on "fish health management" almost doubled from £26m to £49.4m. Nick Underdown, from Open Seas, told BBC Scotland: "Wrasse is an incredibly slow-growing species that's slow to reproduce and recovers very slowly if it's over exploited. "What we're seeing here is an unregulated fishery, poorly managed, that's being bankrolled by the salmon farming industry. "It is perverse for the salmon farming industry to protect its own stock and exploit a wild fishery." Efforts are under way for salmon farms to become fully reliant on farm-sourced wrasse, but because they are slow growing it is likely to take three years to meet demand. BBC Scotland understands that about three million wrasse are needed to support the 60 million salmon produced in Scotland, but only about 600,000 come from farms. The rest are caught in creels and transported to fish farms. Scott Landsburgh, chief executive of the SSPO said: "We are taking steps to ensure [overfishing] won't be an issue. That's why we are introducing hatcheries to breed our own cleaner fish and a huge investment is going into that just now. "We're introducing two new hatcheries in the next 12 months and we expect, in about three to four years, that we will not require any wild caught wrasse. "For the time being, yes we are taking some but we are very considerate about it and we are not taking any juvenile fish and are not taking any brood stock. So it's a very controlled take of the fish from the fishery." Open Seas has identified regulatory "loopholes" in the management of wild wrasse stocks which it wants to be closed. The group said there had been no stock assessments for wrasse and there were no limits on how much could be fished. A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said: "Scotland has a legislative and regulatory framework which balances growing aquaculture sustainably and protecting biodiversity and the environment on which aquaculture and wild fisheries depend. "We are currently in the process of developing the framework for a viable sustainability project and anticipate we will be in a position to progress soon." The industry has been relatively slow on the take-up of cleaner fish which are expensive and complicated to keep. It requires fish farmers to maintain stocks of two different types of fish in the same cage rather than just one. But Ralph Bickerdike, head of fish health at Scottish Sea Farms, describes the use of cleaner fish as "transformational". He said: "We are now seeing the fruits of the investment that has taken place over the last few years. "At the end of 2016 we had the lowest lice levels recorded for over three years which is a tremendous achievement and we look forward to that continuing." The two female pedestrians, both in their 40s, were seriously injured when they were struck by a car in Hartstown at about 02:40 GMT on Sunday. Both were taken to hospital, where one of the women was later pronounced dead. The driver of the car was charged on suspicion of drink driving. He was released and is due in court later this month. The driver and the two other men in the car, all of whom were in their 20s, were unhurt. The summary of the report, compiled by Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the CIA had misled Americans about what it was doing. The information the CIA collected this way failed to secure information that foiled any threats, the report said. In a statement, the CIA insisted the interrogations had helped save lives. "The intelligence gained from the programme was critical to our understanding of al-Qaeda and continues to inform our counterterrorism efforts to this day," director John Brennan said. However, the CIA also acknowledged mistakes in the programme, especially early on when it was unprepared for the scale of the operation to detain and interrogate prisoners. The CIA programme - known internally as Rendition, Detention and Interrogation - took place from 2002-07, during the presidency of George W Bush. The report reveals that: CIA report: The 20 key findings Analysis: Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent This report makes deeply uncomfortable reading but it shines a much-needed torch into some dark places. The fact that Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, or torture by any other name, was stopped years ago or that some people at the top of the US administration may not have known its full extent, does not excuse the fact it took place at all. After going through six million pages of documents, the authors concluded that in none of the cases they had looked at did these brutal methods stop a terrorist attack. Meaning that America's reputation, and by extension that of the wider West, has been sullied for no tangible gain. This will lay the US open to charges of hypocrisy, making it far harder for the West to criticise brutal and dictatorial regimes. It may also encourage terrorists to justify their atrocities by pointing to this past abuse. It can only be hoped this report's publication means these practices will be consigned to history's dustbin. Introducing the report to the Senate, Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein described the CIA's actions as a "stain on US history". "The release of this 500-page summary cannot remove that stain, but it can and does say to our people and the world that America is big enough to admit when it's wrong and confident enough to learn from its mistakes," she said. "Under any common meaning of the term, CIA detainees were tortured," she added. Earlier, President Barack Obama said the methods used were inconsistent with US values. "These techniques did significant damage to America's standing in the world and made it harder to pursue our interests with allies and partners," he said. Reacting to the release of the report summary, the Senate Republican leaders insisted that the methods used had helped in the capture of important suspects and the killing of Osama bin Laden. "Claims included in this report that assert the contrary are simply wrong," Senators Mitch McConnell and Saxby Chambliss said in a joint statement. UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the issue had been "dealt with from a British perspective" but that torture was wrong. "After 9/11 there were things that happened that were wrong - and we should be clear about the fact they were wrong," he said. The Senate committee's report runs to more than 6,000 pages, drawing on huge quantities of evidence, but it remains classified and only a 525-page summary has been released. Described by US officials as al-Qaeda's former operational planner and terrorist recruiter, Abu Zubaydah was captured in Pakistan and sent to a secret facility in Thailand. His cell was described as white with no natural light or windows, but with four lights pointing into the cell and an air conditioner. He had two chairs, one more comfortable than the other, rotated based on his level of co-operation. From 4-23 August 2002, following 47 days of complete isolation, Abu Zubaydah was subjected to EIT almost 24 hours a day. Security personnel entered his cell, shackled and hooded him and removed his towel so that he was naked. "Abu Zubaydah was typically kept naked and sleep-deprived," the report says. He was backed up against the wall and a box laid on the floor to look like a coffin. Whenever the suspect denied having certain information, the interrogators grabbed or slapped his face. On the first evening, he was waterboarded, as a result of which he coughed, vomited and had spasms. The sessions accelerated, progressing more quickly to waterboarding. According to the report, the objective was "to ensure [he] is at his most vulnerable state", at all times. Is 'waterboarding' torture? Who were the detainees? The main points of the report include the following: Mr Obama halted the CIA interrogation programme when he took office in 2009. Earlier this year, he said that in his view the methods used to question al-Qaeda prisoners amounted to torture. Publication of the report had been delayed amid disagreements in Washington over what should be made public. Security was increased at US facilities around the world ahead of publication. Embassies and other sites were taking precautions amid "some indications" of "greater risk", a White House spokesman said. US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said he had ordered all top US military commanders to be on high alert. US intelligence agencies were accused of using "extraordinary rendition" to send terror suspects for questioning in countries where they had no legal protection or rights under American law. Some of the suspects claimed they had been tortured in countries such as Syria and Egypt. A Council of Europe report in 2006 said it had pieced together details of a "spider's web of secret detentions and unlawful inter-state transfers", based on evidence from detainees' testimonies, flight plans and other publicly-available information. The Senate report released on Tuesday said that the CIA had sent some of its al-Qaeda suspects to detention centres in other countries, but did not say which ones. With Sam Smith at number two, it is the first time two British solo artists have taken the US top two spots since Eric Clapton and Sting did it in 1993. X, which is pronounced "multiply", is Sheeran's second album and includes his hit Sing, featuring Pharrell Williams. X sold 210,000 copies in the US last week, while Smith's debut In the Lonely Hour notched up sales of 67,000. In March 1993, Eric Clapton's Unplugged was number one, ahead of Sting's Ten Summoner's Tales at number two, Billboard said. This week, Sam Smith was also at number one on Billboard's digital songs chart after his single Stay with Me was downloaded 211,000 times. Elsewhere on the album chart, rapper G-Eazy's These Things Happen debuted at number three, while last week's number one, Ultraviolence by Lana Del Rey, slipped to fourth place. The soundtrack to Disney's Frozen spent its 28th consecutive week in the top five. Sheeran's debut album, which had the title +, peaked at number five in the US after its release in 2012. The follow-up has already proved a huge success in the UK, beating Coldplay to the title of the fastest-selling album of the year. Earlier this week, streaming service Spotify said the 23-year-old singer, who followed Dolly Parton on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Sunday, had seen a 195% increase in requests for his tracks in the UK since his performance at the festival. The court also ordered a further judicial review on whether he should be banned from holding public office. In an emotional video statement, Berlusconi denounced the decision as "based on nothing, and which deprives me of my freedom and political rights". The sentence cannot be appealed against further but Berlusconi, 76, is unlikely to go to jail because of his age. The ruling by the Court of Cassation in Rome came after a three-day hearing. Berlusconi was not in court. The former prime minister was sentenced to four years in prison at the conclusion of the trial last October, though this was automatically reduced to a year under a 2006 pardon law. Berlusconi is likely to serve house arrest or carry out community service. His lawyers described Thursday's ruling as "unjust". By Alan Johnston BBC News, Rome The courtroom dramas of Silvio Berlusconi are part of the backdrop to Italian life. The nation has watched around two dozen trials unfold over nearly 20 years. But until now they have never seen Berlusconi definitively convicted. And there can be no appeal. This damning judgement will forever be part of his record - and he will surely see this as one of the darkest moments in his extraordinary political career. But it could have been even worse: the judges did not uphold the order that would have barred Berlusconi from public office. That will be re-examined by a lower court. So Berlusconi is certainly down, but not entirely out. He has been diminished and humiliated, but even now it might be a mistake to bet against him. They had been hoping to overturn his conviction in a case involving television rights bought by his company Mediaset. It is the billionaire businessman's first definitive conviction after decades of criminal prosecutions. In his video message after the court's decision he said: "I never devised any system of fiscal fraud. No false invoice exists in the history of Mediaset." Berlusconi said he was the victim of "an incredible series of accusations and trials that had nothing to do with reality". He described the more than 50 court cases he has faced as "genuine judicial harassment that is unmatched in the civilised world". The review of the lower court's five-year ban on holding public office means Berlusconi can remain as a senator and as leader of his centre-right People of Freedom Party (PDL) for now. The BBC's Alan Johnston in Rome says the former prime minister will be relieved that judges ordered a review of the political ban. Berlusconi's political grouping forms part of Italy's coalition government. Prime Minister Enrico Letta needs both the PDL and his own centre-left Democratic Party to govern. In a statement after the court ruling, Mr Letta urged "a climate of serenity" for the good of the country. President Giorgio Napolitano also urged the country to stay calm. "The country needs to rediscover serenity and cohesion on vitally important institutional matters that have for too long seen it divided and unable to enact reforms," he said. A former minister and ally of Berlusconi, Nitto Palma, told Reuters on leaving a PDL meeting that there was a lot of bitterness about the verdict. However, the sentence would not affect the Letta government, he said. Berlusconi's legal team said there were "solid reasons" why their client should have been acquitted, and they would "evaluate and pursue any useful initiative, also in Europe, to make sure that this unjust sentence is radically reformed". Anti-establishment politician Beppe Grillo welcomed the court ruling, comparing the sentence to the fall of the Berlin Wall. In a statement on his blog, Mr Grillo said Berlusconi had "polluted, corrupted and paralysed Italian politics for 21 years". The original ruling last October found that Berlusconi's Mediaset media empire had inflated the price it had paid for film distribution rights to avoid paying taxes. He was labelled the "author of a whole system of tax fraud". The three-time prime minister has faced a string of trials since leaving office in November 2011. Appeals are pending in other cases in which he was convicted of having paid for sex with an under-age prostitute, and arranging for a police wiretap to be leaked and published in a newspaper. Two other cases of alleged tax evasion, one of them involving British lawyer David Mills, expired under the statute of limitations. Media playback is not supported on this device Lee, 25, made a course-record 10-under-par 62 in the first round, and is ahead of China's Shanshan Feng and Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn who are tied second. Scotland's Catriona Matthew scored a stunning second-round 65 to go nine under par, two shots behind leader Lee. England's Charley Hull is tied in 10th place on five under at Woburn. Playing at her home event, Hull made five birdies between holes seven and 12, but was put on the clock from 13 to 16 because of slow play. She told BBC Sport: "It was raining so I had to rush and bogeyed the 16th hole, it is stuff you have to deal with. "I am usually a fast player but happy with the way I came through the middle part." Meanwhile, England's Bronte Law - the leading amateur who has had to borrow her clubs - carded consecutive rounds of 70 for a place in tied-17th position on four under par. New Zealand's world number one Lydia Ko made the cut on equal par after a round of 70.

Pennock, who had been managing Welsh Premier League side Aberystwyth Town, left the Tigers in January when Mike Phelan was sacked. He will now assist new boss Leonid Slutsky after the Russian was appointed as Marco Silva's replacement. Hull have also appointed former Wales U21 goalkeeper Pat Mountain as their goalkeeper coach. Mountain has spent the past nine years with Wolves. "I'm delighted but a little bit shocked too. It's been a bit of a whirlwind few days but I couldn't be happier to be back," Pennock told the club website. Sir Ian and Sir Patrick Stewart play drinking partners in a new production. Sir Ian told BBC Radio 4 Front Row: "My character never leaves the stage for two hours and he drinks an awful lot - and I tell you when you drink at this rate, you simply have to go and pee. "But he's not put that in the play. We tried to put it in the play." The actor added: "I'd say that was as close to an error as Harold Pinter ever got." Despite his comments, Sir Ian will get a reprieve during the interval. The production opens in Sheffield on Wednesday and will travel to Newcastle, Brighton and Cardiff before embarking on a three-month run at London's Wyndham's Theatre. Sir Ian and Sir Patrick play ageing writers who spend the night drinking. The play was first performed in 1975, starring John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson. While Sir Ian is on stage for the duration, Sir Patrick's character does have the luxury of a break. "He goes off for half an hour's sleep and comes back sober and rested," Sir Patrick said. The actors consume only non-alcoholic drinks on stage - which Sir Ian revealed can have an effect on the brain as well as the bladder. "I don't know how it happens," he said. "We've all experienced it at rehearsals. "There we are sipping water - pretend champagne, pretend gins, pretend whiskies, pretend vodkas - water, water, water, water. "And by the end we were sort of slurring our words. You can get drunk without drinking alcohol, it turns out." The play sees a reunion for the two stars of the X-Men movies and both actors believe fans of their other major screen franchises will also visit the theatre. Sir Ian played Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies, while Sir Patrick was Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Sir Patrick said: "It gives both of us a lot of satisfaction that, because of the very popular and successful franchises we've been in, we are creating a new audience for live theatre, and especially a young audience. "Teenagers who have been watching The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings - they want to see Gandalf, they want to see Jean Luc Picard and Charles Xavier and Magneto. "That doesn't matter to us. We don't care why they come." Front Row is on BBC Radio 4 on 3 August at 19:15 BST - the episode will later be available on the Front Row website.

Lael Brainard, a member of the Fed's Open Market Committee, said that there was no rush to raise interest rates. Earlier comments from other Fed members had been seen as raising the likelihood of a US rate increase this month. Having fallen by more than 1% on Monday, the FTSE 100 index was up 2.25 points at 6,703.15. Shares in Associated British Foods fell a further 3%. Its shares had sunk 11% on Monday after it disclosed a £200m pension deficit and said sales at its Primark chain had been affected by unseasonable weather. In the FTSE 250, JD Sports shares rose 3.8% after it reported a 73% jump in half-year profits to £77.4m. Ocado shares dived 10% after the online grocer said its profit margins had been hit by the intense competition in the sector. "As the market remains very competitive, we are seeing sustained and continuing margin pressure and there is nothing to suggest that this will change in the short term," said chief executive Tim Steiner. The 63-year-old ex-youth coach at Crewe Alexandra faces allegations relating to a boy between 1981 and 1982. The Crown Prosecution Service said the charges followed an investigation by Cheshire Police. Mr Bennell, who also had links to Manchester City and Stoke City, will appear via video link at South Cheshire Magistrates' Court on 13 March. He is accused of four counts of indecent assault on a boy aged 11 to 12 years. Earlier this week he was charged with eight counts of historical child sexual abuse - two counts of indecent assault on a boy aged under 14, indecent assault on a boy aged under 16, and five other offences. Mr Bennell previously appeared in court in January charged with eight separate offences of sexual assault against a boy aged under 16, between 1981 and 1986. He pleaded not guilty at Chester Crown Court and was remanded in custody until a further hearing on 20 March.

Delwar Hossain and his wife were charged with homicide in December. The couple arrived at Dhaka magistrates court, and have now been jailed after their plea for bail was rejected. Although arrests warrants had been issued in December, they had been living freely in Dhaka. It was not clear why they decided to give themselves up. They face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted. The Tazreen fire was the country's deadliest garment factory fire, and brought attention to working conditions in the all-important garment industry. The country suffered an even greater tragedy just months later when the Rana Plaza garment factory complex collapsed on the outskirts of Dhaka, killing 1,135 people. Mr Hossain and his wife, Mahmuda Akter, are among 13 people who were charged over the fire. An investigation found that when the blaze broke out, managers and security guards told workers it was part of a regular drill, and it was too late for many to escape. Investigators said the nine-storey factory had no emergency exits, and workers desperately trying to leave found that some of the gates were locked from the outside. Victims of the fire, many of them women who were paid as little as $37 ( £23) a month, found themselves overcome by the smoke inside the building. The Tazreen factory produced clothing for big retailers including Wal-Mart, This the first time Bangladesh has sought to prosecute factory owners in the influential garment industry, which is the world's second largest after China and a vital part of Bangladesh's economy.

Two owners of a Bangladesh garment factory where 112 workers died in a fire two years ago have turned themselves in to the authorities.

But by the end they were turning their minds to other matters - some spectacular results from Facebook and Apple and the prospect of the biggest stock market debut by a tech firm for years. On my Tech Tent podcast this week, we discuss the hopes and fears of Silicon Valley as Snapchat owner Snap gets ready to hit the New York Stock Exchange. We also hear from a London tech chief on his worries about the US migration policy. And you'll be pleased to hear there's a gadget on the show as we find out how augmented reality may enter the classroom. When a company that lost more than $500m (£400m) last year announces it is floating on the New York Stock Exchange with a $25bn (£20bn) valuation, there are two possible reactions. Either Snap's initial public offering (IPO), at a time when its growth is slowing, is a sign that the market for tech firms has gone mad again with investors betting on a future that will never materialise, or it just reflects renewed confidence in Silicon Valley at the end of a week where both Apple and Facebook have confounded the sceptics with record-breaking revenues. Remember, Facebook's $100bn (£80bn) IPO valuation was derided by many in 2012, but today it's worth nearly four times as much. Snap will hope to follow the same path rather than that of Twitter, which is now worth less now than when it floated. Snap shares are bound to take investors on a rollercoaster ride - so we try to work out where they will end up. When President Trump's executive order banning travel to the US from seven predominantly Muslim countries was published, one tech company boss had a very personal take. Ismail Ahmed is the founder of WorldRemit, a London-based business helping migrants send money home. He is a British citizen but was born in Somalia, one of the countries on the banned list. (Actually he hails from the peaceful self-declared independent state of Somaliland - but that's not a distinction likely to be obvious to border officials). He tells us he was pretty worried when the news of the ban broke. After all, he has to travel frequently to Denver where his US operation is based. He already has problems at the border because his name is similar to that of the spiritual leader of the militant group Hamas. Despite the fact that Sheik Ahmed Ismail was killed by Israel in 2004, his name is still on a sanctions list - hence Mr Ahmed's problems. He is now somewhat reassured about his future travel plans by the intervention of the British government on behalf of its citizens. But he says that with 330 staff and 35 nationalities on the WorldRemit workforce, any restrictions on their ability to travel will be a concern. Then there are his customers, current and future: "There are 250 million people who live outside their home countries who then send an estimated $600bn (£480bn)." His message is that migration is not going to go away: "Ever since homo sapiens left east Africa 50,000 years ago, we've been on the move... Brexit or no Brexit, Trump or no Trump, people will continue to travel." Over the last three decades, all sorts of technological innovations have entered the classroom in schools around the globe. First came PCs, then electronic interactive whiteboards and notebook computers and in recent years some schools have decided that giving every pupil a tablet is the way forward. Could the next big trend be the use of augmented reality, where digital information is superimposed over the real world? At the recent Bett education technology fair in London, Jane Wakefield tried out Hololens, Microsoft's augmented reality headset - or "mixed reality", as the company prefers. It offers a new interactive way to teach children a range of subjects. They can, for instance, walk around a skeleton to learn how it fits together. We discuss whether this is the future of education - or just a fad. Inflation now stands at 2.7% - up from 2.3% in March - and above the Bank of England's 2% target. The main reason was higher air fares, which rose because of the later date of Easter this year compared with 2016. Rising prices for clothing, vehicle excise duty and electricity also played a part, but a fall in the price of petrol and diesel slightly offset this. Last week, the Bank of England warned that inflation as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) would peak at just below 3% this year. It also warned that 2017 would be "a more challenging time for British households" with inflation rising and real wages falling - leading to a consumer spending squeeze. Pay including bonuses rose at an annual rate of 2.3% in the three months to February, according to the ONS. The latest figures on earnings growth are due out on Wednesday. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the cost of air travel went up by 18.6% from the month before, with Easter falling on 16 April this year compared with 27 March last year. The price of clothes jumped to the highest level for six years, with a rise of 1.1% between March and April. Electricity and food prices also went up, but there were falls in the cost of gas, petrol and diesel. The Retail Prices Index (RPI), a separate measure of inflation which includes council tax and mortgage interest payments, reached 3.5% last month, up from 3.1% in March. The ONS's new preferred inflation measure of CPIH, which contains a measure of housing costs, rose to 2.6% from 2.3% in March. Chris Williamson, chief business economist at analysts IHS Markit, said: "The timing of Easter looks to have played an important role in pushing inflation higher in year-on-year terms. "But sterling's depreciation since the referendum last June is also clearly a significant factor, lifting prices for imports and likely to pile further upward pressure on consumer prices in coming months. "There are nevertheless signs that inflation could perhaps rise less than many had been fearing. "Survey data are already showing companies' costs are rising at a slower rate than earlier in the year, and recent weeks have seen some easing in global commodity prices, notably oil." Suren Thiru, head of economics at the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "Businesses continue to report that the substantial increases in the cost of raw materials and other overheads over the past year are still filtering through the supply chain, and are therefore likely to lift consumer prices higher in the coming months "However, it remains probable that the current period of above target inflation is transitory in nature, with little evidence that higher price growth is becoming entrenched in higher pay growth. "This should give the Bank of England sufficient scope to keep interest rates on hold for some time yet, despite their recent warning." Samuel Baxter trapped the officer's leg against a police vehicle after he was stopped from passing through security lines on Twaddell Avenue, Belfast Magistrates Court heard. The 53-year-old was also found guilty of disorderly behaviour during one of the nightly demonstrations in the area. Baxter, of Canmore Close, will be sentenced next month. Police witnesses told the court that one constable suffered a bruised shin in the incident after Baxter repeatedly directed his wheelchair weighing up to 28 stone at them. Baxter said he was only in the area for family reasons and had no involvement in the protests over a disputed Orange Order parade. He claimed that he was trying to pass through the police cordon to get his friend who had a blood clot to hospital. He claimed the officer he was charged with assaulting told him: "Sit down, you're not getting through, OK." He argued that the constable's flak jacket had caught on his wheelchair's gear stick, causing it to shunt forward about an inch. A police inspector told the court Baxter was swearing and abusive. He said the incident was part of attempts to incite a crowd who were filming on their mobile phones. "This set-up happens on a nightly basis and has done for the past 400-odd nights," he said. "Things like that are staged to try and rile the crowd up. I was made aware he had come out with a whole crowd round him and their cameras already on." The inspector said police had been trying to calm the situation. "We do this protest on a nightly basis. If there was a medical emergency it would have been quite obvious and we would certainly facilitate that," he added. "When I spoke to this man and gave him numerous chances to tell me what the problem was, he was just extremely verbally abusive and playing to the crowd." The judge convicted Baxter of both counts of assault on police and disorderly behaviour, and ordered a pre-sentence report to be prepared. By Tuesday evening, 700 more customers had been reconnected by engineers battling to repair damage to pylons and power lines. A storm on Friday caused pylons to topple under sheets of snow and ice. Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) said it hoped to restore power to all customers by Thursday night. With more homes due to be reconnected throughout Tuesday evening, the power company said it expected a total of 925 homes in Kintyre and 725 in Arran to remain without supplies overnight. A spokesman added: "Conditions continue to be challenging, but we believe that, providing no further significant damage to the network is found, customers who lost their supply as a result of the recent severe weather event should have electricity restored by the end of Thursday night." BBC Travel online updates BBC weather updates Scotland-wide travel updates Met Office weather warnings BBCScotlandNews Severe weather Twitter list National rail enquiries Traveline Scotland Sepa floodline Snow and gales blasted the west coast on Friday, plunging about 20,000 properties into darkness. Power companies attempting to restore supplies have been co-ordinating with local authorities and emergency services to clear snow-closed roads and transfer engineers into remote areas. Transport Minister Keith Brown paid tribute to everyone who had worked "incredibly hard" to open transport links and maintain and repair essential infrastructure, as well as all the volunteers and "ordinary people" who were helping their neighbours. He also announced that Finance Secretary John Swinney had activated the Bellwin Scheme to allow additional revenue support to local authorities hit by the snow storms. The scheme helps councils in the wake of large-scale incidents. SSE said it had drafted in more than 400 engineering staff to Kintyre and Arran and had six helicopters operating across the affected areas. The utility firm said the damage to the electricity network infrastructure in Kintyre and Arran had been "among the worst seen for 30 years". A total of eight pylons have been damaged - three of them badly - in the Crossaig area of Argyll alone. The power company said the last time a storm brought down one of its pylons was in 1987. Sandy MacPherson has lived in Campbeltown, Kintyre, all his life and told BBC radio's Good Morning Scotland programme these were the worst conditions he had experienced. "My wife and I have had nothing for four days," he said. "We've had no heating, lighting or cooking facilities." "Had it not been for good neighbours and friends we would be really struggling." He added: "We were warned on Monday/Tuesday about the extreme weather that was coming in and, similar to the M8 escapade two years ago, nothing was put in place to be ready for it. "We are now just catching up and chasing our tail." All schools in Arran will remain closed for the rest of the week. North Ayrshire Council said pupils involved in exams would get support on their return from the Easter break. Argyll and Bute Council said a few of its schools were closed due to having no electricity. Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD) has organised eight mobile hot food outlets in Argyll and Arran, while 18 large generators and 50 smaller sets have been installed in the areas. Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon visited Campbeltown and the surrounding area on Tuesday to meet with affected residents. She said: ""More and more people are now having power restored which is a tribute to the hard work of everyone involved - and the focus is on getting everyone back to normal as quickly as possible." Mainland areas of Dumfries and Galloway were also badly affected by the severe weather on Friday and over the weekend. On Monday evening ScottishPower said that all homes across the area had been reconnected to a main line electricity supply.

Instead of using cards, the service allows shoppers to use their smartphones to pay for in-store purchases. Last month, Apple launched its own Apple Pay system in China, also in partnership with UnionPay. China's smartphone market, the largest in the world, presents a huge business opportunity for mobile-payment systems. Samsung Pay and Apple Pay will now compete with Alibaba's Alipay, which currently dominates China's electronic payments market. However analysts told the BBC that mobile payment services provided by Alipay and WeChat were so dominant in China that international newcomers such as Apple and Samsung would face "an uphill battle" to win market share. Tencent's WeChat also has a payment system which is popular in China, and telecommunications giant Huawei launched its own service earlier this month. Read more: Samsung Pay and how it works The South Korean electronics giant said Samsung Pay was now available in China on a range of smartphones including the Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note5. The firm said it would have "the opportunity to support additional mid-range models in the future". In announcing its official launch, which has been expected since late last year, Samsung said that Samsung Pay currently supports select credit and debit cards of nine major banks in China including China CITIC Bank, China Construction Bank and China Everbright Bank. Samsung has previously said it has one critical fact that will work in its favour: its technology works with a much larger number of existing payment terminals. There has been a rapid take-up of smartphones in China, with an estimated 68% of the population now owning one. And digital wallets are becoming a more popular way to pay for goods and services. Samsung said on Tuesday that its payment system was "simple, safe and easy to use" and that it worked "virtually anywhere you can swipe or tap your card in China". Unlike Google Wallet and several other earlier payment apps, Samsung says there is no need to unlock its phones to launch a special app to get started. Like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay will use near field communication technology (NFC), which needs a separate transaction device, but it will also support magnetic secure transmission technology which works on regular credit card machines. However, Bryan Ma of IDC research firm told the BBC that Samsung would face the same challenges that Apple does in China. "The use of Alipay and WeChat are so dominant in China that it's an uphill battle for both phone vendors, aside from some higher-end users in larger cities," he said. "Making it worse for Samsung is it doesn't have the cachet that Apple does. And Samsung was number six in China's smartphone market in the fourth quarter of last year, with only 7% share, versus Apple at number two with 15% share," he added. Samsung Pay is currently available in South Korea and the US. It is expected to become available in the UK this year. They include new houses in Glasgow with support for veterans living there. The way former service men and women are recorded on GP records will also be improved. Minister for Veterans Keith Brown, himself a Falklands War veteran, has published a paper setting out the measures the government is pledged to implement. The government has already allowed service personnel to apply for social housing before they leave the forces. Now it will build a unit of 50 homes in Glasgow's Cranhill district where former servicemen and women will also have access to outreach support to help them adjust to civilian life. The homes, being constructed by the Scottish Veterans' Housing Association at a cost of £6.5m, will be ready by the end of 2013. The Scottish government is providing £2.3m towards the overall cost of the project. The Armed Forces Commitments Paper also addresses the medical needs of former service personnel who may have mental health issues, addiction or suicide concerns. GP records will be improved to ensure doctors can identify service-related conditions. Launching the paper at Edinburgh Castle, Mr Brown said the bravery, loyalty and professionalism of Scotland's servicemen and women deserved the government's wholehearted care and support. He said :"This commitments paper sets out our obligations to serving personnel, their families, reservists, veterans and the bereaved and how we will continue to meet these. "With input from partner organisations like Veterans Scotland, we will continue to develop, deliver and implement new and innovative policies to support this dedicated group of men and women." Among other pledges are examining how the NHS can provide the best support possible for family members when reservists are away on operations and encouraging more injured service personnel to take up sport and potentially get involved with events such as the Paralympics. Veterans' charities have welcomed the commitments announced which they said would allow them to ensure help and support are available to those who have served in the armed forces. Martin Gibson, of Veterans Scotland, said: "The coherence of the paper's policies will allow Veterans Scotland and the military charities to work in a well defined arena which will go a significant way to ensuring that help and support will be available to our veterans wherever it is needed." The Rt Hon Donald Wilson, Lord Lieutenant, Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh and Veterans Champion, said: "Edinburgh has a long and proud tradition of honouring its military service personnel and veterans for the immense sacrifice they make day in and day out to keep this country and its people safe. "Sending people to war is a huge responsibility but supporting them when they return is just as important. "In my role as Veterans Champion for Edinburgh, I will work closely with the Scottish government on fulfilling the commitments set out in this paper." St Andrews University academic Nathan Bailey, 34, admitted responsibility for the crash on the M9 that claimed the life of Ronald Highcock. The 83-year-old died in hospital in May 2013, three weeks after the motorway collision near Bridge of Allan. Bailey was sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid work and a one-year driving ban. Mr Highcock and his wife were travelling home from their wedding anniversary dinner on 28 April when the crash happened near junction 10 of the dual carriageway. Bailey's Renault Clio hit the side of Mr Highcock's Citroen Saxo, which was travelling at about 40-45mph, causing both cars to crash off the road and down an embankment. Mr Highcock's car crashed head-on into a tree, and he had to be cut free by fire crews. He managed to give a statement to police at Forth Valley Royal Hospital before he died, succumbing to chest injuries sustained in the crash and a secondary cause of heart disease on 20 May. American citizen Bailey, of Dundee, pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving at Stirling Sheriff Court. Defence advocate Gavin Anderson submitted a number of defences of Bailey's character, including a letter from his professor at the university's school of biology describing him as "one of the leading researchers in the world" in his field. Sheriff William Gilchrist said it was "clear" the crash had resulted from Bailey's failure to notice Mr Highcock's car was travelling on the motorway at "a slow rate". He said: "This was clearly a tragic incident. "Not only was it a tragedy for the deceased and his family, it is also clear that the accident has had a profound impact on you. "I am satisfied this was a case of careless driving involving inattention and having regard to that, and your lack of record, and to your genuine remorse and your lack of aggravating factors I will impose a 12-month community payback order." Worshippers flocked to the compound after Muslim leaders lifted a two-week boycott following Israel's reversal. The measures were introduced by Israel after the killing of two Israeli policemen nearby. But the violence that has gripped the city continued, with more than 130 injured in clashes with police. Palestinians were seen chanting and dancing in the alleyways outside the compound, before entering for afternoon prayers on Thursday. But violence broke out shortly afterwards, according to news agency AFP, with police trying to control the crowds by firing stun grenades and tear gas. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, 136 Palestinians were hurt, both inside the Old City complex known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount, and in the immediate area. A total of 21 people were taken to hospital, the Red Crescent said, while one officer was wounded, according to reports. Israeli police say officers responded after stones were thrown at them at the site's gates. Palestinians had fiercely objected to the new security set-up, seeing it as an Israeli attempt to exert control over the Old City complex known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif and to Jews as the Temple Mount. The last pieces were removed on Thursday after days of violence in which seven people were killed. Last week Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said he was freezing all contacts with Israel, including security co-operation, until Israel cancelled the new measures. There have been intensive diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis, involving the US and Jordan, which is custodian of the holy site and has a large Palestinian population. The Israeli government has not yet commented on its decision to completely dismantle the infrastructure. Observers say it is a climbdown by Prime Minister Netanyahu, which will put him at odds with more right-wing members of his cabinet. Education Minister Naftali Bennett, a political rival to Mr Netanyahu and whose party is part of the ruling coalition, criticised the decision. "Israel comes out weakened from this crisis," he told Israel's Army Radio. "Instead of sending a message about Israel's sovereignty on the Temple Mount, it sent a message that Israel's sovereignty can be questioned." Tom Bateman, BBC News, Jerusalem Aside from inflaming decades-old issues, this dispute has also been notable for the fierce criticism that leaders on either side have faced from some in their own constituencies. As I watched Palestinian protests last Friday, people chanted not only against what they see as illegal occupation, but also against Mahmoud Abbas who they perceived as failing to represent them. It may go some way to explain his tough stance earlier this week when his Fatah faction called for Palestinians to "intensify the popular struggle" despite Israel's removal of the metal detectors. Meanwhile, the Israeli prime minister has seen the right-wing of his coalition government excoriate the removal of the security measures as "weakening" Israel. A poll this week suggested 77% of Israelis felt the government had "capitulated" in the face of Palestinian pressure, while a usually vehemently pro-Netanyahu newspaper branded the PM "helpless" and "feeble". This week's crisis may hold some important lessons about how leaders will have to ride the waves of popular pressure when it comes to any new effort to solve the wider conflict. The issue of control in East Jerusalem, occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war, is one of the most contentious areas of dispute with the Palestinians. Israel claims sovereignty over the whole of Jerusalem, though this is not recognised by the international community. Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a sought-after state. In a separate development, Mr Netanyahu accused the Qatar-funded, pan-Arab Al Jazeera TV channel of fuelling the crisis. "The Al Jazeera network continues to stir violence around the Temple Mount," he posted in Hebrew on his Facebook page, vowing to "enact the required legislation to expel Al Jazeera from Israel". Palestinians sang, danced and let off fireworks as railings and security camera gantries were removed from the Lions' Gate entrance near the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif in the early hours of Thursday morning. "For 12 days no-one has slept, no-one has done anything except the al-Aqsa mosque," bystander Firas Abasi told AFP news agency. He said he felt like crying over what he called a "victory". Mass prayer gatherings had been held in the street outside the Old City walls and near-daily clashes between Israeli security forces and demonstrators have taken place since the metal detectors were introduced in the wake of the killings of the policemen near the site on 14 July. Four Palestinians were killed and three Israeli civilians stabbed to death by a Palestinian who said he was avenging Israel actions at the site. Israel said the security measures were necessary because the weapons used to kill the police had been smuggled on to the compound. Earlier this week, it vowed to bolster its police presence around the site and introduce less obtrusive security measures over the next six months, including unspecified "advanced technologies". There was an 18% fall in complaints in 2013-14 compared with the previous year, to 123,218, the Consumer Council for Water said. This was the lowest level since the watchdog was formed in 2005. However, it said that this momentum could be lost if water companies failed to deliver affordable bills. Billing and charges still account for the highest proportion of complaints, some 57% of all gripes. Four companies - South West Water, Affinity Water, Severn Trent Water and Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water - reported an increase in complaints. Southern Water and South East Water, while reporting drops in complaint numbers, were described as remaining "too far adrift" of the rest of the industry. Darren Bentham, Southern Water's chief customer officer, said: "While our performance in 2013/14 saw a big improvement, we are still lower down the results table than we want to be - and where our customers want us to be. However, we are continuing to make changes which ensure we focus on our customers - from training, to new systems and an improved website." Steve George, customer services director at South East Water, said: "Although our focus is to prevent problems, when things go wrong for our customers we are always sorry and we endeavour to fix things as quickly as possible." In August, regulator Ofwat proposed that household water bills in England and Wales should go up less than the rising cost of living in the next five years. It proposed that bills should be an average of 5% lower, before inflation was applied, by 2019-20. Although telephone complaints were also falling at the same time as written complaints, these trends could reverse if prices were not set at the correct level, the Consumer Council for Water said. "Affordability remains a huge challenge for the industry with one in five customers telling us their water bill is not affordable," said Tony Smith, the watchdog's chief executive. "Water companies and the regulator Ofwat must deliver prices for the next five years that customers can afford and find acceptable or risk a backlash from struggling households."

Louise, 10, Isle of Man For Washington and its allies, including what little is left of the so-called "moderate Syrian opposition", this is deeply unwelcome, especially if the targets do turn out to include US-backed rebels. They see it as prolonging an unwinnable war and delaying the departure of a Syrian president who is now unacceptable to a large part of his population. But for Syria's Assad regime and its Iranian allies, the arrival of Russian firepower is quite the opposite - it is a lifeline that could shore up the exhausted Syrian army, regain territory lost this year and crush all the rebel opposition except the hardcore jihadists of so-called Islamic State (IS) and the Nusra Front. So what are the likely consequences? The most immediate concern for Washington is that its air force collides, catastrophically, with Russia's in the skies over Syria. Avoiding this is called "deconfliction" and it is supposed to be a carefully planned and co-ordinated process. The US says it was given just one hour's notice on Wednesday to "clear the skies" before Russia's warplanes went in on their first bombing run, hitting Syrian rebel positions in the west of the country. Russia says it targeted IS, while US Senator John McCain says CIA-backed rebels were hit. The US runs its air operations out of Al-Udaid Airbase in Qatar, allocating and prioritising IS targets across Syria and Iraq and sharing them out amongst the multinational coalition that includes several Arab countries. But this week a new command centre has been announced, in Baghdad, where operations will be planned by Russia, Iran, Syria and Iraq. This is the pro-Assad axis that wants to see Syria's President Bashar al-Assad remain in power. IS will undoubtedly feature on their target list but those four countries also consider all rebel groups opposed to Assad as the enemy. This view does not fit in with that of the US-led coalition and will complicate and undermine the international effort to defeat IS. Once the new Baghdad command centre is up and running there could then be two different command centres in the Middle East, operating two different campaigns against two different sets of enemies. Despite the additional firepower of the newly arrived Russian air force, this development is very likely to be welcomed by the leadership of IS. In order to maintain its global charisma it needs to constantly innovate, taking new territory, taking on new enemies or inventing new and ever more horrific ways of killing its captives. The entry of Russia into the Syrian conflict, albeit in the air not on the ground, will be a perfect recruiting sergeant for IS. The propaganda videos are doubtless already being prepared. The Russians are, after all, the same historic enemy fought by the Mujahideen in Afghanistan throughout the 1980s and eventually defeated (with US, Saudi and Pakistani help). The prospect of Russian pilots attacking Muslim fighters on the ground will be embarrassing to Arab governments who will not want their air forces to be seen as on the same side. The result is likely to be more recruits joining the extremists of IS and Al-Nusra, both from within Syria and from outside the region. Sandwiched between the two big fighting forces of Assad's army and IS are a whole host of minor rebel groups with obscure names, like Tajammu al-Izza, who say they were hit by Russian air strikes on Wednesday. Some of these groups are perceived by the West as being "moderate" but most have been steadily weakened and plagued by defections, defeats and capture. With the reported arrival in Syria of hundreds of Iranian troops, the build-up there of Russian forces and a newly active Russian stance, the indications are that Assad and his allies are going after crushing the minor rebel groups, leaving only the extremists of IS and al-Nusra. They will then be able to say: "Look, you may not like him but Assad is the only alternative to the medieval head-choppers of IS". Saudi Arabia and possibly Turkey are not going to take this development lying down. Along with some other countries in the region they have long insisted that the only lasting solution to the Syrian crisis is for President Assad to go. Since the Russians and Iranians are protecting him, both diplomatically and militarily, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been quietly funding and arming various rebel Islamist groups inside Syria, prompting some to accuse them of supporting IS or al-Qaeda or both. Back in 2013 the Saudis were all prepared to join in US attacks on Assad's forces as punishment for the mass poison gas attack on Syrian civilians. When that did not materialise they stepped up their own support for Syria's Islamist rebel groups. Now that level of support is likely to be increased again, to match the newly bolstered might of Assad's forces. The net result of all this is likely to be a further prolonging of the stalemate in Syria. As long as one side thinks it can win, or at least not lose, then it will be reluctant to come to the negotiating table and make substantial concessions. There have been many times since 2011 when "Middle East experts" opined that President Assad was doomed and would not last the year. He has defied them all. Now, with the injection of this Russian tonic, he will be more tempted than ever to tough it out. And so the fighting will continue, until eventually it boils down to Assad and his allies v IS and al-Qaeda, with Washington increasingly unable to influence the outcome. Unless something changes dramatically, peace in Syria is not even on the horizon. Stanley defender Matty Pearson could have settled the issue late on but shot wastefully wide as John Coleman's side failed to take their chances. Accrington were also denied by the woodwork and found keeper Glenn Morris in good form. Visting keeper Elliot Parish came to his side's rescue in only the fifth minute by producing a tremendous reaction save to deny James Collins following a cross from Dutchman Enzio Boldewijn. Sean McConville set up Terry Gornell at the other end but Crawley keeper Glenn Morris kept out his goal-bound effort. Defender Pearson was twice off target for Accrington after Boldewijn fired over from a good position for the hosts. Both sides went close shortly before the interval with keeper Parish saving well from Collins before a low drive from Jordan Clark was parried by opposite number Morris. Crawley skipper Jimmy Smith cleared off the line from Omar Beckles and Accrington winger John O'Sullivan later shot against a post after Patrick Lacey had an effort blocked.

The incidents, such as operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside patients, are categorised by the Department of Health as "never events". This means they are incidents that are so serious they should never happen. NHS England admitted the figures were too high and said it had introduced new measures to ensure patient safety. The department has categorised 25 incidents that should never happen if national safety recommendations are followed by medical staff. The BBC discovered through Freedom of Information requests to NHS trusts that the majority of mistakes fell into four categories. There were 322 cases of foreign objects left inside patients during operations; 214 cases of surgery on the wrong body part; 73 cases of tubes, which are used for feeding patients or for medication, being inserted into patients' lungs; and 58 cases of wrong implants or prostheses being fitted. Or catch up later on BBC iPlayer Frances, whose name has been changed to protect her identity, was admitted to hospital last year for a hysterectomy. After her operation, surgeons realised that a swab was missing and had been left inside her. They immediately carried out a second operation to remove it, but during this procedure a drain was left in her abdomen. A few weeks later, she was taken back into hospital as she was seriously ill and in severe pain. Frances underwent emergency surgery to remove the drain, which had caused a large, pus-filled abscess to develop. She has now been left with a colostomy and faces further surgery. "My initial reaction was 'no'. They can't do it twice," she said. "They did an internal inquiry and the consultant who was leading the internal inquiry said on a couple of occasions he couldn't understand how this has happened, because the procedures for this sort of thing were written in stone. "Thinking about it philosophically, better the colostomy than a coffin. I had one foot in a coffin so it's the better option. I'd rather be here than up the crematorium with a wreath on me." Ian Cohen, a medical negligence solicitor and head of medical negligence at Goodmans Law, based in Liverpool, said the whole system of reporting "never events" was flawed. "I think the figures are shocking," he said. "They really are the tip of the iceberg. "There is an emphasis on the 'never event', but actually there is a bigger picture: missing the fact that we have hundred of thousands of adverse incidents, never mind just 25 particular categories. And the danger is that it takes the focus away from a much wider problem." He argued that hospitals have no incentive to report "never events" because they may have to reimburse the cost of the procedure to the NHS as well as paying for the patients' long-term care. "If that's the case, surely that does not encourage openness if there are already problems with the budget in the NHS," he said. Horrific as these incidents are, it is important to put them in context. On average each year there are 4.6 million hospital admissions to the NHS in England that require surgery. The NHS says the risk of a "never event" happening to you is one in 20,000. Dr Mike Durkin, director of patient safety for NHS England, said the 700 "never events" were "too many". He said: "One is too many in any week, in any day, in any hospital." He added that NHS England had started collating the data to help educate staff on better practice. "We need to understand what it is, in some systems and in some hospitals, that that team working hasn't produced an effective outcome and a mistake, and a 'never event' has occurred," Dr Durkin said. "This is not just the concern of one operating theatre in one hospital. It should be the concern of the leadership of that organisation, of the trust, so that they lead that trust and support both the staff in the operating theatres to work effectively, but also recognise their responsibility for leading safety across the whole of the trust." The World Health Organisation's patient safety checklist has also been adapted for use in England and Wales. However, when the patient safety rules are not followed, the results can be catastrophic, as Margaret, whose name has also been changed for reasons of privacy, found. Her mother was admitted to hospital after a stroke. But medical staff put a feeding tube into her lungs rather than her stomach. Nutritional fluids went into her lungs, she contracted pneumonia and died. "You feel guilty because when she [was] talking to us she kept saying she wanted to come out, and we kept saying, 'You can't come out, mum, until you get better," Margaret said. "You feel angry after, because you think someone's killed your mum. No, they probably didn't do it on purpose but that's how it feels. You feel that somebody's killed her." Margaret is still awaiting a date for an inquest. She thinks staff failed to follow basic procedure by omitting to give her mother an X-ray to check the tube's location. NHS guidance says that, if in doubt, this should be done as a secondary test. The No Poll movement is taking advantage of a new law allowing advisory referendums. The Dutch parliament had already backed the EU deal, which removes trade barriers between the EU and Ukraine. But campaigners fear that it could be a step towards EU membership and would cost Dutch taxpayers billions of euros. "This is a chance to say we're here too," says Eurosceptic Thierry Baudet, who argues that Dutch voters should have their say on policies such as EU expansion, legislation and aid packages. In particular he says the treaty would enable Ukrainians to travel without visas across Europe when their country is in conflict with Russia. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych triggered months of unrest in Ukraine and eventually his overthrow when he pulled back from signing the EU Association Agreement in November 2013. Since then, Ukraine's new government has signed the deal and parts of the treaty have provisionally come into place. The trade part of the agreement will come into provisional effect on 1 January 2016, but will not be fully in force until all 28 EU member states ratify it. Six countries have yet to do so. "A very big part of the agreement such as political dialogue on financial co-operation [will come into effect] but not everything," a spokeswoman told the BBC. Under the new Dutch law, which requires 300,000 signatures to trigger a vote, the referendum has to take place within six months. Although the result will not be binding on the government, it will have to be considered if turnout is above 30% and a majority votes against the agreement. Jan Roos from No Poll ("GeenPeil" in Dutch) said it was vital for turnout to go above 30% as it would then be "hard for the cabinet to again ignore the voice of the people". Michael Slager, who is white, has been charged with violating the civil rights of Walter Scott, who was unarmed and running away when he was shot. The state has already brought murder charges over the traffic stop that ended in tragedy in April 2015. A lawyer for Mr Scott's family said the federal charges were historic. Chris Stewart said: "This is history in so many ways. This never happens." As well as a civil rights violation, the federal charges also include obstruction of justice and unlawful use of a weapon during the commission of a crime. The case reignited a long-running debate in the US about the police use of lethal force, especially against African Americans. Video footage filmed from the dashcam of Mr Slager's car showed what looked like a routine traffic stop - until Mr Scott got out of the car with the police officer in pursuit. Although the video does not capture Mr Slager firing eight shots, gunshots and shouting are heard off-screen. A second video filmed by a bystander shows the pair scuffle and then Mr Scott fleeing again. His death sparked rallies in North Charleston, with chants of "No justice, no peace". Mr Slager was fired from his job and North Charleston approved a $6.5m civil settlement with Mr Scott's family last autumn. Last month, Dr McDonnell, a GP, said doctors cannot predict when a foetus has a lethal abnormality. Mr McDonnell made his comments as he stated his party's opposition to abortion in cases of lethal foetal abnormality or rape. Dr Samina Dornan said he "undermined our professional integrity." "He instilled a lack of confidence in the public about our ability to do our job," Dr Dornan, a consultant at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital said on Radio Ulster's Nolan Show. "It's amazing that he, as a member of the UK parliament, is coming out with statements like this - and he's a doctor. "He's telling the world that our professionals are not up to their job." The Department of Justice (DoJ) recently ran a public consultation on proposals to change Northern Ireland's abortion law, which differs from the rest of the UK. Currently, a termination is only legal in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk or if there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health. The DoJ recommended allowing abortion in lethal abnormality cases. However, speaking on the BBC's Inside Politics programme last month, Dr McDonnell said: "The SDLP is unequivocally opposed to abortion, even in those particular circumstances because basically, the predictions in those circumstances are never accurate. "Nobody can predict that a foetus is not viable and that's the problem. "As a GP, I'm fully aware, I have seen situations where termination or an abortion was recommended to somebody because a foetus that had this, that or the other thing, and that foetus grew up to be a perfectly normal child." Dr McDonnell has since told the assembly he was misquoted. The body of Nicholas Clark, 63, was discovered behind a former gym in Gloucester Road, Patchway on 10 April. Police said a cannabis factory was discovered at Mr Clark's home in Catbrain Lane, Patchway, but his death is not being treated as suspicious. Paul Jackson, 39, of Catbrain Lane, was also charged with theft and one count of producing a class B drug. He was released on bail and will appear before Bristol Magistrates Court on 12 November. A 29-year-old man from Bristol has been charged with two counts of producing a class B drug. The Scots opened their series with a 26-13 win at the Toyota Stadium and face the Cherry Blossoms again in Tokyo on Saturday. "We were just a little bit sloppy, at times," said Barclay, 29. "If we look after the ball, go through phases and are clinical, we score tries." A first-half penalty try, WP Nel's score in the second period and 16 points from the boot of Greig Laidlaw outweighed Shota Hosie's early try and eight points kicked by Yu Tamara for Japan. "Lots to work on - looking after the ball in contact, accuracy," Barclay told BBC Scotland. "We defended well but just kept giving the ball back to them. If we play like that next week, we'll probably struggle again. "When we did have the ball, we looked quite dangerous." Media playback is not supported on this device Barclay admitted the humid conditions made life difficult for the tourists and added: "Hopefully, it's one of those things that you get used to after a game and next week won't impact on us quite as much." Rory Sutherland, an early replacement for Alasdair Dickinson, described Saturday's match in Toyota City as "really tough". "I just had to dig deep and keep battling on," he added. "Our ball retention was pretty good. What let us down? Penalties, handling errors. "We're not used to that style of rugby. We're not used to playing such a fast side and I thought that's where we were going to struggle. "All in all, we stayed calm and composed and that's what won us the game."

He received the all-clear from the disease in 2012 but confirmed in September 2014 that it had returned. Auckland-born Crowe is widely regarded as one of New Zealand's best players, scoring 17 centuries and 5,444 runs in 77 Tests at an average of 45.36. His family announced his death "with heavy hearts", adding that he "passed away peacefully" on Thursday. Crowe captained the Kiwis in 16 Test matches and his highest score was 299 against Sri Lanka in Wellington in 1991. Named one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year in 1985, he was player of the tournament at the 1992 World Cup, scoring 456 runs in nine matches. Obituary: Martin Crowe - cricket's tortured genius Crowe also had a spell with English county side Somerset between 1984 and 1988, and scored a total of 19,608 first-class runs in his career. He retired in 1996 with a knee injury and went on to become a television commentator and author. He also helped develop Cricket Max - a precursor to Twenty20. In 2014, after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Crowe said he could "happily live with" New Zealand's World Cup final against Australia being potentially the last match he ever saw. "My precarious life ahead may not afford me the luxury of many more games to watch and enjoy," he wrote on ESPN Cricinfo. "So this is likely to be it. The last, maybe, and I can happily live with that." His older brother, Jeff, played 39 Tests for New Zealand between 1983 and 1990, while he was a cousin of the Hollywood actor Russell Crowe. BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce: Martin Crowe grew up with cricket in his blood - his father played first-class cricket, his mother was the outstanding female player of her generation, his brother played Test cricket alongside him - and as a batsman he was a classicist, with a seemingly natural ability to play every shot in the book with a combination of grace and timing that caused the purists to swoon as much as bowlers to toil. As a man, he was more revolutionary than that timeless style would ever had indicated - changing the face of one-day cricket with his innovations as his country's captain at the 1992 World Cup, coming up with a format that prefigured the start of T20, going through a rebirthing programme to help him deal with his frequent bouts of depression, marrying a former Miss Universe. Singular in his chosen sport, atypical beyond it. Laws, 42, started six months of chemotherapy this week. The Kenya-born cyclist, a former British champion in time trial, road racing and mountain biking, and retired in August. "As a professional cyclist I've had my share of setbacks. I have come back each time," she said in a statement. "I hope that these experiences and my life as a professional athlete have prepared me for what will be my biggest challenge so far." Laws was advised to have a biopsy on swollen lymph glands by her team doctor at Podium Ambition in late July, after initially attributing them to "a series of colds". After discovering they were secondary cancer tumours, tests revealed further infected lymph nodes in the pelvis, and cervical cancer. "Obviously I am trying to come to terms with what is happening," said Laws, who competed at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. "I had exciting retirement plans - learning Spanish and volunteer work in South America, bike guiding and environmental consultancy. These will now have to be put on hold." The 27-year-old goalkeeper arrives after the Iron lost both Sam Slocombe and Jamie Severn to broken arms in the Daniels played just three times for the Baggies in an 11-year spell, but has made a total of 119 career appearances. "He's a quality goalkeeper that's been on our radar for a while. He was top of our list," said manager Mark Robins. One has caused a "significant fish kill", and been traced to a business park near Llantrisant. Three incidents in south west Wales are believed to be from agricultural slurry spreading. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said it was "disappointed" farmers were not following best practice. Spreading slurry in the days before forecasted heavy rain or in wet ground conditions can lead to water pollution, said Huwel Manley, NRW operations manager. He added: "We understand that farmers are keen to empty slurry stores at this time of year, but we are disappointed that farmers and contractors are not following best practice. "Our officers will continue to assess the full impact of these latest pollution incidents and will be out on site again in the morning assessing the environmental impact." In December, more than 1,000 fish died as a result of what is believed to have been a slurry leak in the Tregaron area. NRW have urged people to report any pollution, dead fish or fish in distress. Edge Hill University is offering the course to third-year students on performing arts or dance and drama degree courses. The university said it was the first higher education institution to offer a module dedicated to drag. Senior lecturer Mark Edward said there was a lot more to drag studies than "wigs, make-up and high heels". Those taking the subject would examine the relationships between performance, gender, sexuality and identity, the Ormskirk-based institution said. The course will also look at topics such as drag performance, lip-synching, costume, the use of humour and the theories and histories of areas such as gay and lesbian theatre, transgender identities, HIV and Aids and activism. Mr Edward said: "Despite the fact that performers have been 'dragging up' since Shakespearean times, this module is completely unique in exploring the crossing of boundaries in terms of gender and performance. "The 2010 Education Act meant that providers of education, including universities, must go beyond non-discrimination based on gender, and in fact, promote equality, and Edge Hill has a fantastic reputation in promoting minority groups in terms of sexual identities." Mr Edward said the module would also look at complex theories of gender, feminist and sexual identity to explore the social and political implication of "doing gender" in performance. "Drag as a performance art form has seen a relative decline in the past decade, yet there are new and exciting emerging forms coming through which makes this module all the more relevant to performance contexts," he added. "There's a lot more to drag studies than wigs, make-up and high heels." Consider the flint that Stone Age man fashioned. Special Report: The Technology of Business Making OATs (Old Age Technologies) The universal mobile web without walls TV's white spaces connecting rural Africa Christmas shop boom creates returns headache Should we be recording our phone calls? Edible edifice: The offices of tomorrow Predicting technology in 2013 He could hardly have imagined, as he was using it to light a fire or hack a carcass apart, that his descendants would one day promote that kind of inventive step through patents. So it is with the wonder of our age, the computer. We've scarcely started to grasp the scale of the changes information technology will bring this century. One application is to help analyse, map and collate features of our surroundings across the planet and keep track of activity on it. This geo-information has tremendous benefits and is gaining in sophistication and power all the time. Data sources to produce geo-information come from satellites, together with aerial and ground observation equipment around the world. They collect data from different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum or from probing with radar or with sonar in air or water. Their output can then be processed into multiple formats, depending on ultimate use, including images with layers of content added. The scale of the phenomenon and the quantities of data involved are barely imaginable, but the effect is for humanity to be endowed with new senses that can reach to the Earth's farthest corners. How this will affect our behaviour as individuals and societies will be one of the biggest questions of the Information Age. In November 2012, Britain experienced unusually severe autumn flooding. Only a few years ago it would have overwhelmed the emergency services, but thanks in part to satellite imagery, situation managers gained a strategic view of areas at risk and could deploy resources effectively. Yet, even with this kind of application of general public benefit, there are issues of access to data and the reliability of the resultant information as it is processed into services for users. But when geo-information supports surveillance of human activities, there is a point at which particular interests are going to be affected. While we may appreciate the sat-nav in our car or phone when it delivers us safely to some remote location we want to get to, we may find that a geo-location application known to the provider not to be very reliable for the purpose offered ought at least to carry a clear "quality" warning, similar to safety and health warnings for other things we use. That way, possibly widespread inconvenience, even disruption, might be avoided. Other, more disturbing questions arise when details of our daily commute are, to mention a recent example in the Netherlands, used to set speed traps without us being informed in some way of this potential use. Similar issues can arise with surveillance from the sky of cars' movements in and out of particular locations at particular times. Those watched - individuals and organisations - may wish to have some possibility of knowing who's watching, allowing for state's legitimate security needs. Again here, geo-information seems to have two faces, depending on whose interest it serves. But when the information processing for such applications is dispersed around the globe, how can issues like these be addressed? It is the law's function to establish the rules which apply at this kind of intersection of technology and human interests. Since the issues are transnational, we've proposed the development of an international Geo-information Convention. Its aim is to be technology-neutral, so that it is future-proof enough also to cover new systems like hyper spectral sensors reminiscent of Star Trek and drones with privacy implications reminiscent of 1984. The essential questions are: how do we make geoinformation reliable enough for the particular applications for which it is to be used, and what limits should we put on use of its power? Work on these difficult questions has already begun through the International Bar Association (IBA). Having already received encouragement from several quarters, we believe it's now time for the project to be opened up for wider international discussion. A roundtable on the Convention will be held at an IBA conference in Zurich in May 2013 and from there, we hope to move towards governmental take-up of the Convention.

Party leaders were out and about from the Borders to Stornoway as they highlighted their education policies with two weeks to go until May's election. Nicola Sturgeon said raising educational attainment should be the next government's "number one priority" while campaigning in Dumfries. The SNP leader said if re-elected as first minister, she would seek to give parents and teachers a greater say over key decisions in schools. Ms Sturgeon said she wanted every child in Scotland to have "the benefit of a world-class education". She said: "The most significant investments the SNP will make in the next term will be in our young people. From the earliest years until adulthood, improving Scotland's education system should be the number one priority of the next Scottish government." Kezia Dugdale challenged Ms Sturgeon to match her pledge to protect schools, colleges and universities from cuts. Campaigning in Stornoway, the Scottish Labour leader said the SNP manifesto had not committed to above-inflation increases in the education budget. She said: "In her manifesto yesterday, Nicola Sturgeon offered protection for the NHS budget, but not for education. "This is not a technical detail - if the SNP leader does not make this commitment in simple terms, it means she plans to cut education spending in real terms." Ruth Davidson said there would be "more money in the system" for education under her plans. Visiting a nursery in Edinburgh, the Scottish Conservative leader said ending the council tax freeze would allow local authorities to spend more on schools. She also said any increases in the devolved budget as a result of rising education spending in England should be allocated to Scottish education. The Tories want to free up extra cash for further and higher education by charging university graduates a contribution towards the cost of their tuition. Willie Rennie called for the "immediate publication" of a national survey of schools attainment in Scotland, accusing the SNP of "jiggery-pokery". The Scottish Lib Dem leader said the results of the annual Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy are usually published in March or April, but this year have been put back until 31 May - after the Holyrood election. Mr Rennie said: "It seems convenient that we're being expected to wait more than a month longer than ever before to get sight of the most up-to-date statistics on literacy and numeracy. But that is the kind of jiggery-pokery we've come to expect from the SNP. "The results of the last two of these surveys have shown overall literacy and numeracy standards are slipping and the attainment gap is widening." Sarah Beattie-Smith joined activists in Dunbar to discuss environmental policies. The Green transport and infrastructure spokeswoman underlined her party's commitment to protecting Scotland's "natural treasures" while campaigning alongside party activists. She was marking John Muir Day, which celebrates the life and work of the Scottish-born naturalist and conservationist. The aptly-nicknamed Phileas Mogg began his trip in Warmingham, Cheshire when he got inside Colin Woodward's Audi A4. The retired farmer inadvertently took the cat on two motorways, over the Welsh border and through a car wash before he was found when he arrived at a friend's home near Bristol. The RSPCA's Simon Coombs said the trip had cost Phileas one of his nine lives. Mr Woodward said he thought he heard a cat under his car at his Cheshire home on 11 November, but checked and found nothing so set off. Over the next few days, he drove to nearby Sandbach and Wettenhall, over the border to Wales to visit Bangor-on-Dee races, down to Cheltenham and on to Easton-in-Gordano, near Bristol, to see a friend. When he arrived, on 13 November, he heard the cat again and found Phileas "between the front wheel and the headlight". He said he "couldn't believe [his] eyes" when the tom was released by a mechanic and was "just relieved he survived". Phileas was taken to RSPCA Bristol, where his burned paws were treated. The charity has been unable to trace his owners but Mr Woodward said he hoped the search would be successful. "He's a lovely cat [and] he will certainly have a tale to tell them about his adventure," he said. Mr Coombs said Phileas "was lucky to escape with some burns to his paws". "If cats really had nine lives, he's lost one of them." Appealing for information, he added it was possible Phileas was not from Warmingham but had "jumped on board along the way, so his owners could come from any of these places". The wolf was taken after the owner, believed to be the granddaughter of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, returned from a night out in Soho. The "snarling" specimen was brought in to a west London police station undamaged and will stay in police possession while enquiries continue. There have been no arrests at this stage, the Met Police said. The Evening Standard has reported that the taxidermy piece belongs to Charlotte Watts. Three men, who are being sought by police, were invited back to the Chelsea home and reportedly left at about 05:00 BST on 3 August. The newspaper said Ms Watts and a woman friend met the men at a club and invited them back to the flat. The men left but it was only when the two women woke up later in the morning that they realised the wolf was missing. All three suspects are white and believed to be in their early 20s. The wolf was bought six years ago from a taxidermy shop and has yellow glass eyes and white fur with black speckles on its back, shoulders and ears. About 6,750 students from across the UK took part in an online study by Swansea University. It claims nearly 5% of them had actually worked in the sex industry and male students were more likely to become involved than women. Work ranged from stripping, phone sex chat, erotic dancing to prostitution. It included escort work but also work, which did not involve direct contact, such as webcam work and glamour modelling. The Student Sex Work Project was carried out by Swansea University's Centre for Criminal Justice and Criminology and funded by the Big Lottery Fund. The findings suggest: Dr Tracey Sagar, who co-led the study, said stereotyping was a problem and the discovery that more men were involved in the sex industry than was commonly thought was a "significant finding". Although only a third of those researched were men, of those taking part in the survey, 5% said they were involved in sex work, compared to nearly 3.5% of the women. "Sex work is widely but wrongly perceived to be an occupation that is predominantly taken up by women and this means that males may fall through the student support net because they are not associated with sex work occupations," she said. Dr Sagar said: "We now have firm evidence that students are engaged in the sex industry across the UK. "The majority of these students keep their occupations secret and this is because of social stigma and fears of being judged by family and friends. And, we have to keep in mind that not all students engaged in the industry are safe or feel safe." She said it was vital universities better understood student sex work issues. Steve Jones, director at Terrence Higgins Trust Cymru, said students needed support to ensure they had the knowledge and confidence to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections. "It has long been the assumption that young people who enter the sex industry do so to fund basic living expenses. "However, this research shows young people's reasons for entering sex work, and their motivations for remaining in it, are more complex." Rosie Inman, NUS Wales women's officer said the study was a valuable piece of research. "The main priority must be to maintain the wellbeing of students involved in sex work, not to stigmatise them," she said. The study was carried out online. The research started in Wales and nearly half of those who took part were at Welsh colleges. Police were made aware of alleged racial abuse on a Metrolink tram on 28 June after a video was posted online. There were two further alleged assaults later in Trafford, at Pomona Strand and Bridgewater Way, police said. A man, 20, has been charged with racially-aggravated assault. Another man, 19, and a boy, 16, were charged with public order offences and assault. The 20-year-old, Robert Molloy, of no fixed address, was also charged with two further assaults and a public order offence. Aaron Cauchi, 19, of Brydon Close, Salford, was charged with two public order offences and assault. The 16-year-old from Pendleton, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with two public order offences and assault. All three are due to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on 8 November.

The founders hope that the Clixta app can act both as a place where families or other groups can share old photos privately and as a public archive for British social history. They are working with foundation the Copyright Hub to ensure that each photograph has a digital identifier. The app will be free initially. The idea was formed when Dean Newsome and Shaun Cutler - who describe themselves as middle-aged dads rather than typical entrepreneurs - started talking by the side of a football pitch in Morpeth, Northumberland. "I was in the process of digitising old photos for my in-laws and we realised that there was no place to share these on a large scale," said Mr Cutler. "We treasure our old photographs and the memories that go with them but we are in real danger of the photos that are gathering dust in the attic or under the bed getting lost forever," he added. Users can upload photos either by scanning them or by taking a photo with their smartphone. They can choose whether to share them publicly or limit the images to a specified group. The duo behind the app hope that people will share at least some of their photos publicly. "I envisage a day when historians and educational institutions can use it, for example, to chart a high street going back over decades," said Mr Newsome. Andrew Mitchell, a social media officer at Northumberland National Park, is using the app to chart changes in the history of the park "We are celebrating our 60th anniversary and I read about the app and thought it would be a good fit. We had lots of people telling us that they had pictures but had no way of getting them to us. For us it is a way to see how the park has changed." "We can do this on Instagram or other social media but there is a lot of digital detritus on there and this allows people to focus on something specific." A trial version of the Clixta app has been used by around 300 users and is now available to the wider public via Android's Google Play store and Apple's iTunes. Once it has established its user base, the founders said they may introduce subscriptions.

A smartphone app that allows people to upload, store and share their old photographs has been launched by two British entrepreneurs.

Rachel Fee's lawyers have told judges at the Criminal Court of Appeal in Edinburgh that the conviction is unsafe. Last May, she was found guilty with her civil partner, Nyomi Fee, of the murder and ill-treatment of Liam. Judges Lady Dorrian, Lord Turnbull and Lord Bracadale said they would issue the appeal ruling in the near future. Defence advocate Brian McConnachie QC told the court that the judge who jailed her made mistakes when directing the jurors. He said Lord Burns did not tell jurors they could find Fee guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide. Evidence that was led in court against Fee may have shown that she was not responsible for murdering the toddler at a house near Glenrothes in Fife, he added. Instead, he said jurors may have concluded that the 32-year-old was responsible for the culpable homicide of Liam. Mr McConnachie said evidence led by the Crown during the original case showed that it was conceivable that Nyomi Fee was the "main actor" in the murder of Liam. He said: "The jury were entitled to convict the appellant of something less than murder." Prosecution lawyer Alex Prentice QC told the court that Rachel and Nyomi Fee engaged in a course of criminal conduct which culminated in the death of Liam. He told the court that, because Rachel did not do anything to alleviate or stop what was happening to Liam, the jurors were entitled to convict her of murder. Mr Prentice added: "There is no room for culpable homicide in this case." Lord Burns jailed Fee for 23-and-a-half years for murdering Liam at the High Court in Edinburgh in July 2016. Her civil partner Nyomi Fee was jailed for 24 years. Jurors heard how the pair spent two years torturing the to before finally killing him at their home in March 2014. The 26-year-old right-back arrived at Pittodrie on loan from Brentford in January and was in the League Cup final-winning side. He will sign a two-year contract at the beginning of July, with manager Derek McInnes saying: "We're really pleased to get Shay. "He will no longer be a loan player and will be an Aberdeen player and I think that's really important." Logan, who joined Brentford in 2011, made 19 appearances for the Dons, scoring once. And McInnes added: "I thought he showed enough in his loan spell with us last season in terms of his qualities and we're just looking for that consistency of performance going forward. "We're delighted he sees Aberdeen as the place to play his football and we're looking forward to working with him again." Catriona Bhatia claimed that despite major investment the service was failing to live up to its name. She said there were big differences in speeds being received by homes and businesses covered by the provision. BT said it had invested heavily to ensure the service reached premises which would not have received it on a commercial basis. Ms Bhatia was speaking after a report highlighted the progress made and challenges faced in improving broadband access in the south of Scotland. Scottish Borders Council has invested £8.4m in the rollout of services across the region. You shouldnt be getting 2MB when somebody down the road is getting 20MB and youre paying exactly the same amount of money. However, she said the results were variable. "If you pay for your electricity, you get 240 volts delivered to your house - it should be the same for your broadband speeds," she said. "You shouldn't be getting 2MB when somebody down the road is getting 20MB and you're paying exactly the same amount of money." Ms Bhatia said she felt the local authority was not getting the provision it had paid for. "We have also invested a large sum of public money in this to get a contract that would deliver 94% superfast broadband across the Borders," she added. "Not everybody within that 94% is getting the same level of service - I think it is actually a bit of a scandal and some further investigation needs to be done." A BT spokeswoman said it had invested £126m in the Digital Scotland rollout on top of its commercial investment. She said that the four-year programme was only just past its halfway point and had already benefited more than 23,600 premises in the Borders and more than 41,000 in Dumfries and Galloway. "Every phone line is different and many factors can affect the speed of broadband, ranging from the length of the line from the fibre-enabled street cabinet, to faulty routers and existing wiring or equipment in people's homes," she said. "When someone decides to move to a fibre-based service, their service provider should give an indication of what speed they can expect. "If their service doesn't meet expectation, this should be reported to the service provider in the first instance, so they can investigate the issue." She added that work was ongoing to improve the service to some homes which might have slower speeds at the moment. "Phone lines globally are subject to the laws of physics which mean the signal does deteriorate over long distances and we've always been very open about that," she said. "BT is working on technology to deliver faster broadband speeds over long copper lines at the moment." Do you live in the Borders or Dumfries and Galloway and have or want to get superfast broadband?

Email your thoughts to [email protected] The claim: UKIP says it can fund a big increase in NHS spending by cutting the budget for overseas aid. Reality Check verdict: UKIP could save significant sums by cutting overseas aid, but how much will depend on how the economy performs over the next few years. "UKIP believes it's wrong to be spending £14bn a year on foreign aid when the Red Cross is describing the situation in our own hospitals as a humanitarian crisis," said UKIP deputy chairwoman Suzanne Evans. Under current legislation, the UK government is required to spend 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) on overseas development assistance (ODA), better known as foreign aid. The provisional figure for 2016 is £13.3bn, according to the Department for International Development. In its manifesto, UKIP proposes a cut in the spending on overseas aid to 0.2% of GNI, which would cut last year's figure to £3.8bn, a saving of around £9.5bn. However, UKIP plans to phase in those cuts, so in its manifesto it says the saving in the current financial year would be £6bn and that would increase to £11.7bn by 2021/22. It also promised that the amount of overseas aid would not fall below £4bn a year and any projects that are under way would be completed. According to its manifesto, the saving would allow UKIP to spend an extra £9bn on the NHS and £2bn on social care by 2021/22. UKIP's figures do not seem unreasonable, although the size of future savings would depend directly on how the economy performs over the next few years. Ms Evans also said that if UK was to spend 0.2% of its national income on overseas aid, then that would be the same as the US in percentage terms. As the chart above shows that claim is correct, although the US economy is so large that it still dominates overseas aid in cash terms. Ms Evans also claimed that the UK would still spend more, in cash terms, than Spain and Italy combined. In the last year for which we have figures, 2016, Spain contributed in overseas aid £3.1bn ($4.1bn) and Italy £3.7bn ($4.8bn), according to the OECD. So combined, in 2016, those two nations spent £6.8bn, which is substantially more than UKIP's guarantee of spending a minimum of £4bn. However we don't know now what Spain and Italy will spend in 2017. Read more from Reality Check Follow us on Twitter Four days after leaving the majesty of Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium's Ardennes mountains, the sport decamps to the royal park of Monza in Lombardy for the oldest race on the calendar. They are very different places, but they share two key characteristics - high speed and a tangible sense of history. Spa faces a challenge from Japan's Suzuka for the claim to be the world's greatest race track, but nowhere rivals Monza for atmosphere. All the greats have raced there; and some of them have died there, too. Legend has it that you can feel their ghosts, that the park's ancient trees whisper their secrets. And when you walk into the paddock, resplendent in golden early autumn light, you can almost believe it. So little has changed at Monza over the years that there is a direct connection to yesteryear. In the concrete grandstand on the pit straight, the retro timing tower opposite the pits, the crumbing old banking, which in the 1950s used to form part of the race track. Chicanes have been added to slow down what used to be a crazily high-speed blast, but the old corners remain, and their names alone stir the soul - Curva Grande, Lesmo, Parabolica. A threat hangs over this amazing place, though. This year is the last of its current contract and the organiser and F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone have been arguing unsuccessfully over a new deal for years. It's the age-old problem for tracks in Europe without vast government backing - Ecclestone wants more money than the circuit can afford to pay. The word is that it has been worked out and Monza will be saved, but nothing has been officially confirmed. Until it is, there will be a lingering doubt and fear about what could happen. It's almost unthinkable that Monza could be lost. If it was, a part of the sport would die. Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel said last year that taking this race away from the calendar for money reasons would be "basically ripping our hearts out". Andrew Benson Rene Marratier hid the risks to La Faute-sur-Mer to avoid putting off property developers, the court said. The storm Xynthia hit western Europe in early 2010. The storm knocked down seawalls in La Faute-sur-Mer, leading to severe flooding. Marratier called the verdict "unjust" and said he would appeal. On Friday, the court said that Marratier knew La Faute-sur-Mer, a west coast resort in the Pays de la Loire region, was at risk of flooding. However, he "deliberately hid" the risk so that he could benefit from the "cash-cow" of property development, the court added. Marratier's deputy was jailed for two years. Xynthia swept through Spain, Portugal and France in February 2010, killing at least 50 people in western Europe. The pair were sent to the stands in the 11th minute of the first leg at Fratton Park after allegedly using improper language and/or behaviour. The game finished 2-2, with the Pilgrims winning the return game 1-0. Both have accepted the fine, which is the standard penalty for the offence. Plymouth are in the play-off final at Wembley later this month where they will play AFC Wimbledon, who beat Accrington in the other semi-final on Wednesday night. Despite creeping gentrification, this is an area that is still synonymous with urban blight. It is the most socially deprived district in the United States, with over 40% of residents living below the federal poverty line. It is officially the least healthy place to bring up children in New York State. And yet this is where high school teacher Stephen Ritz hatched a food-growing project with his students that has been adopted in schools across the US and way beyond, picking up numerous awards on its way. When we say food-growing, we're not talking mustard-and-cress sprouting on blotting paper in the corner of a science room. Mr Ritz's Green Bronx Machine (GBM) project produces a harvest of fruit and vegetables. They are cultivated in high-tech indoor tower gardens, creating vertical cornucopias, with edible walls of raspberries, columns of kale and cucumbers, barricades of blueberries and broccoli. It has grown over 35,000 pounds (15,900kg) of food. Some of it feeds the students and the teachers; plenty is taken home, and more is sold in the community at GBM farmer's markets. It all started by accident, and its origins are the stuff of legend. Mr Ritz had been working as a special education teacher and dean of students at Walton High School in the Bronx when one day his class received a gift: a box of 250 daffodil bulbs. More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch "I had a class of 17 kids, over-aged, under-credited, with a lot of assorted baggage, whether substance abuse, or criminal background, kids who were marginalised... I was dealing with discipline problems, and these bulbs looked like something kids could throw. I wanted nothing to do with them. I put the box behind a radiator and forgot about them." Some time later there was a "huge argument" in the classroom: "It looked like it was going from bad to worse". One student ducked behind a radiator and pulled out what was now "a box of blooming flowers". The heat and leaking radiator water had forced the daffodil bulbs. "This was a game changer. The boys wanted to give them to the girls, the girls wanted to give them to the boys, some kids wanted to sell them. But therein was this very teachable moment, and we realised then that we could grow something greater." Mr Ritz channelled this excitement into a project, growing flowers for ornamental community gardens in some of the roughest parts of New York. "We went on to plant 25,000 bulbs across the city, we went into gang areas that I never expected to see." At the same time Mr Ritz was becoming increasingly aware of the terrible food that both he and his students were living on. Over a third of his students came from "food insecure" homes. As he pointed out, for some youngsters it was "easier to get hold of an automatic pistol than an organic tomato". Child obesity was rampant: "Kids were getting fatter and getting sicker. I had 200lb [14 stone, 90kg] sixth graders, and I couldn't accept that." Mr Ritz himself was overweight from eating too many "99 cent lunches". His reaction was: "Wow! This is insane! We should be growing food - it was a licence to print money!'" At first the growing was outdoors, rescuing neglected patches of land around the half-burned-out projects. The students thrived, and Mr Ritz began to lose weight. Then Walton High School was closed, and Mr Ritz found himself teaching in the new Discovery High School on the same campus. Around this time he encountered indoor plant-growing systems, and realised these could be used to bring the project into classrooms. "I needed the success I was having outdoors, indoors... I wanted to do something far more replicable and scalable. It made good sense not to be limited by seasons." So the Green Bronx Machine was born. Apart from turning grim schoolrooms into attractive gardens and providing much-needed vitamins for all, the plant-growing also had a dramatic impact on the school performance. Students wanted to see how their seeds were doing. Even those who didn't care were curious. Mr Ritz ensured that the sceptics had roles. Apart from horticultural skills, there was the science of growing, such as the importance of the pH value of the water; the harvesting, weighing, packaging and distribution of produce; the preparation and cooking. Alongside these, the marketing, sales and distribution; and the documentation of everything. Mr Ritz even had a promise for those who did not want to get their trainers muddy: "No Nike Air Jordans were damaged in the growing of this produce." Discovery High's attendance figures soared from 40% in 2008 to 93% in 2014. It has now reached 96%. Many students have found employment as a direct result of their work in GBM. The programme has helped to create well over 2,200 sustainable youth jobs. GBM alumni have gone on to work as teachers, landscapers, green roof and green wall installers, as well as grocery store employees and chefs. "We had a system that was wholly dysfunctional and turned inside out. But sometimes the simplest solutions are the best." There's another factor in this success: the persuasive skills of Stephen Ritz himself as "CEO" or "Chief Eternal Optimist", combining the rapid-fire wit of a stand-up with the soundbite-coining skills of a presidential campaign manager. Mr Ritz was one of 10 finalists in the Global Teacher Prize earlier this year. His persuasive powers have been vital in winning over doubters in City Hall, state and national government, and in corporations across the country. His students have installed green walls in some of the most prestigious buildings in New York, and have helped spread the word at events as far afield as Colombia and Dubai. This year, Mr Ritz has taken the project into a new phase, moving into the fourth-floor of what used to be "PS55" (Public School 55), now re-dubbed Community School 55. Here, the GBM team is building what will become the first National Health and Wellness Center, with an indoor community farm, teaching kitchen and more. Speaking from a meeting in Las Vegas, where he is hoping to open a similar centre, Mr Ritz explained he was "only just getting started" with this ambitious new project. The aim of the National Health and Wellness Center is "to build concentric circles of success around the school... I don't want to build an oasis, but a rainforest", he said. It would work with both children and adults to bring living-wage employment to the most embattled communities. Every student would take home a bag of fresh fruit and vegetables every week - but they'd also be taking home the hope of real long term employment. "A seed well-planted can bring you a crop of epic proportions and my kids are proof of that." The Cyber Security Christmas Lectures are taking place for a fifth year, but this year on a larger scale than previously. The scheme has been widened to include more schools and lectures will take place in Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Pupils will be given information on how to indentify and avoid cyber crimes. They will also be told of career opportunities in cyber security. The lectures involve industry experts, Police Scotland, Edinburgh Napier University and its supporters include the Scottish government, SQA and Scottish Enterprise. 20 November 2016 Last updated at 10:23 GMT We managed to get a special behind the scenes sneak peek, and caught up with some of the contestants while they rehearsed. We spoke to ex-Newsrounder Ore Oduba, to find out if being a Newsround presenter has helped improve his dancing skills... This is the jet stream and its path is the cause of the repeated flooding being suffered during a British summer that has so far been one of the most miserable on record. It was first identified by Japanese researchers in the 1920s, and then experienced firsthand by American aviators flying new high-altitude bombers in World War Two. The jet stream, a massive but mysterious driver of our weather, usually passes along a steady path from West to East across the Atlantic - sometimes a bit to the North of us, sometimes a bit to the South. As a relatively small island, on the borderline between the Atlantic Ocean and the European continent, the precise location of the stream matters hugely to us and right now we're on the wrong side of it. This giant flow of air is the result of a constant play of forces across the planet as energy passes from the warmer tropics to the cooler polar regions - and its basic direction is governed by the spin of the Earth. What matters is where we are in relation to the stream as it surges overhead, particularly when its flow is not a neat curve but a series of massive meanders, like a river approaching the sea. Our misfortune now is to be on the northern side of those meanders where conditions are cooler and wetter which means we in Britain keep getting hit by rain. The bigger the meanders, the greater the chance of giant pockets of cooler, wetter air being drawn south, starting to rotate and so initiating the process that leads to storms. However if you read this in the US, much of which lies to the south of the jet stream, your temperatures have been soaring because the air on that side of the line is far more settled. Normally, we would expect the pattern of the jet stream to keep shifting, for its shape to switch every few days and for our weather to change as a result. Instead for week after week - and possibly for weeks ahead too - the meanders of the stream are sticking to the same shape so repeated rainstorms have become the norm. The implications are depressing. Without some unexpected force altering the stream's pattern, it looks set to continue for a while yet. The big unknown is why this current pattern is so static. The high-altitude winds that make up the stream are themselves still racing along but their path remains stuck in place so our battering continues. This is one of the major puzzles for weather specialists and the science behind this is fairly young. Dr Mike Blackburn of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science at the University of Reading admits that the reasons for a static pattern of the flow remain unclear. "We haven't discovered why the meanders get locked into position as they are now," he told me. One attempt at an explanation involves so-called Rossby Waves, named after the Swedish meteorologist Carl-Gustav Rossby whose research was published back in 1939. This is no comfort as the forecasts continue to be grim, but it is a measure of the complexity of the physics involved - how air moves in waves, why certain patterns form - that more than 60 years later scientists are still wrestling with the question of how the jet stream operates and what shapes it. Dr Blackburn and his colleagues studied the pattern of the jet stream during the floods in June and July 2007 and found it to be similar in appearance to now. So it seems that if it gets locked into the wrong position, with a pattern of large waves, heavy rain is the result. On top of this, there is the related question of climate change. Most researchers are extremely reluctant to attribute any single weather event to global warming. But Dr Peter Stott, a leading climate scientist at the UK Met Office, says that since the 1970s the amount of moisture in the atmosphere over the oceans has risen by 4%, a potentially important factor. That does not sound like much but it does mean that extreme rain storms may bring more rain than before - with more moisture in the air, what goes up must come down, and the odds are worse. "That could make the difference between a place getting flooded or not getting flooded," he said. So there are no exact answers, just some important strands in the science and a lot more research still needed to understand exactly why our weather is so bad. When I rang the BBC Weather Centre this morning and said I wanted to talk about the rain, a colleague answered with a single word, as if the constant storms were her fault: "sorry." Ben, from Sheffield, was 21 months old when he disappeared on 24 July 1991. The items of are "low importance", Det Insp Jon Cousins, of South Yorkshire Police said. They are investigating claims Ben may have been accidentally run over by a digger driver 25 years ago. Police have extended their stay to search a second site, 750m from where Ben was last seen and close to the farmhouse where the dig started last month. Det Insp Jon Cousins said: "There are over 60 items that need looking at and I'll engage with the magistrates here in Kos, to explain the significance of them. "They are items I want to compare to other things, either information or items that were recovered throughout the past 18 months or in 2012." Detectives are now focusing their efforts on the second site, where compacted material deposited over the last 30 years is being broken up before the soil is dug to a depth of about two feet. Mr Cousins said on Saturday the team would remain on site for "at least two or three days". Ben vanished from a farmhouse, which his grandfather was renovating, in the village of Iraklis. Officers are working on the theory that Konstantinos Barkas, who died of cancer in 2015, might be responsible for Ben's death. Maybe you'd decline the help of the talented amateur. Let's face it, there isn't much of a history of successful brain surgery by non-medics. But what if you were in the different but also desperate situation of trying to get a judge to allow you contact with your children, or attempting to get a court to agree to them living with you, following the breakdown of a relationship? Would you be happy to use the services of someone with no legal qualifications, no insurance and who was not part of a regulated body? Well, here the talented amateur has something of a track record. He or she also has a title - they are your McKenzie friend. In 1970, Levine McKenzie was getting divorced and wanted Australian barrister Ian Hanger, who wasn't qualified to practise here, to sit next to him in court, prompt, take notes and suggest questions in cross-examination. The judge ordered Hanger to sit in the public gallery and advise McKenzie only during adjournments. McKenzie lost and appealed. The Court of Appeal ruled that he had been denied help he was entitled to and ordered a retrial. The McKenzie friend was born. For decades they were largely relatives, family friends, law students or charities helping out free. Such McKenzie friends still operate, but in April 2013 the market in fee-charging McKenzie friends got a turbo boost from the government. It cut legal aid from a range of areas of civil law, including most family cases involving divorce, child contact and residence, as well as debt, housing, immigration, welfare and employment. That left many with a stark choice. Go to court on your own or, if you can't afford a lawyer, phone a McKenzie friend. Without much fanfare, McKenzie friends charging between £16 and £90 an hour have become an important part of the civil justice landscape. Although their role is supposed to be limited, they are increasingly mirroring the end-to-end service traditionally supplied by qualified lawyers. They are not allowed to conduct litigation, but there seems little to stop them advising and drafting documents in a way that amounts to the same thing. And while they do not have rights of audience in court, many told me that if they ask to address the court and their client wants it, the judge generally agrees. McKenzie friends This April, in the first major report on fee-charging McKenzie friends, the Legal Services Consumer Panel summed up the divergence of views on them. "One school of thought is that they improve access to justice by providing valuable support for litigants in person. "Another view worries that such McKenzie friends may provide poor advice that harms their client and third parties, offer little in the way of consumer protection, prey on the vulnerable and exploit litigants as parrots to promote personal causes." But who are they, this group of friends? Some are professionals with experience of the justice system, such as former social workers or police officers. Others have come to it through experience. On a Monday night in a dingy function room with a broken door, at the rear of a vast pub in the City of London, I watch six men, all fathers, file into a meeting organised by Families Need Fathers, a registered UK charity that provides support to parents, mainly dads, who've divorced and are seeking contact with their children. In the bar outside, City types slake their thirst. In the room, the men seek a different kind of solace and support from two McKenzie friends. Both are veterans of titanic family cases of their own, qualified in the court of hard knocks. They take details of cases, advise and share their knowledge of court forms, applications, judges and tactics. It feels like triage, military doctors tending to the scarred and wounded of the family justice battlefield. Their "clients" are generally grateful and full of praise for the help they receive. Tom, a chef on low pay, told me that his wife made allegations of violence against him, before leaving the family home with his daughter. The police released him without charge, but while his wife got legal aid, he didn't and used what money he had for a McKenzie friend. Without his help, Tom believes he would not have seen his daughter again. In the largely "post legal aid" civil courts, judges seem to regard McKenzies as their friends too. Speaking frankly to me, some have confessed that is because something in the way of legal representation is better than nothing. But they also acknowledge that, in the pressure-cooker atmosphere of family disputes, McKenzies do help litigants separate emotion from fact and can really help focus on the issues and progress cases. It's entirely unrepresentative, but when I put a request on the BBC website for people to write in with their experience of McKenzie friends, those moved to respond were mainly positive. Family lawyers had led me to believe that while some McKenzies were competent, many were more often agenda-driven, aggressive and dangerous by reason of lack of knowledge. However, when pressed, few were able to give hard details. There are clearly some rogues working as McKenzies and some worrying stories. Privacy and data protection are issues. Clients' personal details have been put on social media or disclosed inadvertently through client testimonials. I have been told of aggressive and intimidating behaviour by McKenzies. And McKenzies themselves voiced concern that some of their number push their own agendas at the expense of the client's interests. Recently retired High Court family judge Sir Mark Hedley generally welcomes the involvement of McKenzies, but told me: "Some have a deep animus against the family court and they're not anxious to conceal it. "They can interrupt repeatedly and it really does the person they represent no good at all. It depends on the ability of the judge to control it." There are good and bad McKenzies, just as there are good and bad solicitors and barristers. The difference is that the client has remedies against the latter through professional bodies, regulators and ombudsmen. The Legal Services Consumer Panel Report concludes that fee-charging McKenzie friends should be viewed as a source of potentially valuable support that improves access to justice and contributes to more just outcomes. Though lawyers may find this extraordinary, it doesn't favour regulation, because the cost and administrative burden could drive McKenzies from the market or put their prices out of reach of consumers who use them for affordability. Some, especially in the legal world, would say those are expedient conclusions driven by the near decimation of legal aid in civil cases. But perhaps they haven't found themselves in the new world of litigation, with a broken family, little money and in need of a "friend". Canada-based businessman Rich Donovan worked as a trader for Merrill Lynch for 10 years after he graduated from the prestigious Columbia Business School. It was competitive enough, but with cerebral palsy he felt he had more to prove. "I was told to my face that I would never be a trader. They were wrong, but that's just the reality of having a disability. You figure out how to work around it." He says he was asked at every job interview, "Can you physically do this job?" His answer was always the same: "I don't know, but we're going to find out." Donovan was offered every job he went for and says there was "never a time that I hit a barrier, largely because I was 10 steps ahead of what I needed to be". It is this attitude that has led him to identify a market worth $8 trillion (£6.4tn) and brimming with untapped talent: the disability market. After he left the trading floor, Donovan set up the Return on Disability Group (ROD). The firm helps companies improve their products, customer experience and recruitment for disabled clients, as well as alerting investors to companies that target that market. Its slogan is "translate different into value". He estimates the market comprises about 1.3 billion people with disabilities worldwide, plus an additional 2.42 billion people once their friends and family are taken into account, which Donovan describes as "huge". It seems hard to believe that such a market could be overlooked, but he says it has largely gone unseen because people look at it from the wrong angle. The key, he says, is not to consider disability a niche market, but as an "emerging market" - and to challenge the conventional because "companies and governments have no clue how to convert that size into value". Donovan says traditional government schemes to get more disabled people into work or bespoke products made for disabled people fail to properly utilise the market. For that, you need to think beyond lunches and motivational talks and remember business is always about money. "Most companies think they need to be perfectly ready to provide an 'accessible' space for disabled workers. The reality is disabled people know what they need to be successful. Companies only need to listen and adjust to those needs," he says. "Quotas and equity laws do not cause hiring, it's the promise of future profits that does. Companies, by their very nature, act in their shareholders' best interests, doing what will grow revenue in the fastest way possible." Therefore, Donovan says, companies should "attack the market" as they would any other. "Find out the desires of disabled consumers as they relate to your profitable enterprise, adjust your product and messaging to attract their business then execute this in line with your company's process and culture." Donovan believes mistakes are often made when companies try to "disable" their business or do just enough to comply with regulations. Listen to Business Daily on the BBC World Service to hear about the daily drama of money and work from the BBC with a special programme for the Disability Works season. "Disabled people don't want 'special' products," he says. "But they are hungry to be included in the mainstream consumer experience. "Most companies today look at this as a government regulatory mandate; they're not looking at this as a profitability opportunity, they're not looking at this as an innovation opportunity to improve products for users. "They're looking at this as a charity effort," he says. Donovan believes the key to cracking this market is to flip the disabled consumer experience to ultimately benefit the mainstream audience. "We've learnt that people with disabilities use things very harshly, they use them in extreme ways, and if you can learn how they use things and use that information it makes that core product better for everyone. That way the returns really take off." The former trader says there is one company that already does this: Google. "The core of what they do is innovation and in most of their products there is some disability component. It's at the very core of what they do. "Look at the Google [self-driving] car - you can imagine the head engineer walking into his team and saying 'OK, build me a car that a blind guy can drive' and that's exactly what they did. "They're very focused on leveraging disability to make the core product experience better for everyone." Donovan says the disability market has only really existed within the past decade continues to develop. "They're still grappling with what that looks like and that process historically takes a few years," he says. "You look back at women and race and it takes a little bit of time to adjust to that reality and disability has just started to do that." But it is not just the disability market that Donovan's company has been tasked with growing. His clients have also asked him to apply the same ideas to sexuality and poverty. Donovan's ambition is to move away from government regulations and to help companies serve non-traditional markets with the aim of ultimately increasing profitability - a process he describes as "figuring out how to 'eat that elephant'". More Disability stories Hayley Batley, of St Giles Primary, was given a conditional discharge in November 2014 after admitting selling and offering trademarked goods. An Education Workforce Council at Ewloe, Flintshire, heard she did not realise what she was doing was wrong. The reprimand will remain on her record for two years. The panel heard on Thursday how Batley was warned by the BBC in June 2013 that she was breaching trademark laws by making and selling her own Doctor Who items. She asked the corporation for clarification, but before it responded, she relisted the items for sale. Further investigations found she was offering more than 1,600 trademarked items for sale, including goods connected to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and James Bond. Setting out the case, Rhiannon Dale told the education panel that Ms Batley told trading standards officers she would not have sold the items if she knew it was wrong. She told them: "I'm a teacher. Teachers don't do this. You're not supposed to get bloody arrested." Ms Batley was given a 12-month sentence at Caernarfon Crown Court in November 2014 after pleading guilty to selling and offering trademarked goods. She was given a final written warning at a disciplinary hearing at her school following her conviction as it was felt her actions were prejudicial to the school's name. John Till, representing Ms Batley, said: "She really didn't think she was doing anything wrong." He said her comments to trading standards officers showed her "spontaneous reaction" and "her instinctive appreciation of what should be expected of a teacher". Hearing chairman Steve Powell said Ms Batley's conduct was "serious and unacceptable and must not happen again". Scientists believe this is the best time to be using drugs to stop Alzheimer's from developing further. Finding a treatment that can combat the disease has been one of medicine's major challenges. Results from drug trials have repeatedly been disappointing. This new study will involve up to 50 tests on 250 volunteers and will include brain scans, cognitive testing and measure the way people walk. The difficulty that doctors face is that the disease can start to affect the brain several years before the symptoms are visible. Patricia Latto, who is in her nineties, has Alzheimer's. Evidence from her diary suggests the disease had begun to take hold more than a decade before being recognised. Patricia Latto was clearly upset and concerned about her mental deterioration in her mid-60s and kept a diary. "I am writing this because I'm afraid I have Alzheimer's…" the diary entry begins, dated 12 May 1990. "And now I have slipped into a no-man's land - no, a limbo, of not remembering and what has shocked me most - not being able to write clearly." She seemed to be using the diary as a memory test. It is full of lengthy passages of poetry and Shakespeare. "Tonight I have quoted Yeats, Masefield, Shakespeare word for word without hesitation… So why do I find it so difficult to sign my own name. It just doesn't make sense." In one diary entry she writes: "My mind is full of holes." Twenty years later Patricia was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The diary was discovered by Patricia's daughter Cate Latto, when she was clearing out her mother's things after she was moved into a care home for specialist support. "It must have been so frightening for her," says Cate, "To have her world shrinking, and being too scared to even talk about it." Cate is now taking part in separate research by the Alzheimer's Society, called Prevent Dementia Study, which involves people with some risk factors for the disease, such as a family history or certain genes. Patricia Latto's experience illustrates one of the key challenges of dealing with Alzheimer's disease. By the time it is clinically diagnosed, it can be too late to do anything about it, because by then the damage caused to the brain is irreversible. The Deep and Frequent Phenotyping Study, involving eight UK universities and the Alzheimer's Society, and led by Prof Simon Lovestone at the University of Oxford, will aim to find the very earliest signs of Alzheimer's, between 10 and 20 years before the symptoms become more obvious. The Deep and Frequent Phenotyping Study includes regular brain scans, cognitive and memory testing, retinal imaging, blood tests and the use of wearable technology to measure movement and gait. Prof Lynn Rochester, from the Clinical Ageing Research Unit at Newcastle University, says tiny, almost imperceptible changes in the way people walk could be a very early sign of Alzheimer's disease. "People think of walking as a task which involves muscles contracting and relaxing and you get from A to B," she says. "But in fact walking is now considered as much a cognitive task as it is a motor task and we've got a really large body of research that shows that." The researchers are using small devices, fitted to the small of the back, to measure movement over a period of a week. Small changes to the pattern of walking can be indicative of deeper problems in the brain, eventually leading to dementia. Scientists would be looking for variations in walking which could involve changes in speed, balance and unusual movements not explained by normal ageing. "If you think about your footsteps in the sand, and how even and well placed they are. We're looking at very, very subtle changes in how those footsteps might appear," Prof Rochester explains. The study, described by the researchers as potentially game changing, will monitor and measure small changes on the 250 volunteers over a period of a year. Some of those involved will be at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease because of their genes or age, and others will not be at risk. The research will generate huge amounts of data and will use complex big-data mathematical analysis to determine which tests, or combination of tests, best predict later onset of Alzheimer's. "We're going to be throwing the book at people, using all the things that we can measure," says Clare Mackay, Professor of Imaging Neuroscience at the University of Oxford. "Pretty much everything we know might be sensitive, we're going to do them all in the one study, which has never been done before." Andrew Bomford's reports on the new Alzheimer's study will be broadcast on Radio 4's World at One on 26 and 27 June 2017. "We respect the sovereignty of others and they should respect our sovereignty and independence. This campaign must come to an end," he told MPs. Mr Sharif, who was ousted in a 1999 coup, was later in the day sworn in for an unprecedented third term as PM. He faces numerous challenges, including Taliban attacks and a crippled economy. In his speech to parliament after 244 MPs approved him in the 342-seat chamber, Mr Sharif also pledged to tackle corruption and reduce unemployment and power cuts. By M Ilyas KhanBBC News, Islamabad In his maiden speech to parliament, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif chose his words and subjects carefully. He did restate his election promise to stop US drone strikes in Pakistan, but made it clear that Pakistan needed to address the concerns that led to them. Mr Sharif skipped any mention of his oft-repeated plan to hold talks with Taliban militants, or the normalisation of relations with India. The prime minister is treading a fine line. The army has been shaping policies about militancy and India, and Mr Sharif feels he will need wider support across the political spectrum to handle these problems. He must also deal with severe electricity shortages, a sinking economy and rampant corruption. Such major challenges prompted Mr Sharif to make a strong appeal to all political groups and "other stake-holders" - which many assume means the military - to sit together and hammer out a joint strategy to resolve them. He told MPs that it was necessary to work out a joint strategy to stop drone strikes. "We must learn others' [American] concerns about us, and express our concerns about them, and find a way to resolve this issue," he said. "These drone strikes that rain in every day have to stop." The BBC's M Ilyas Khan - who was in parliament to hear Mr Sharif speak - says that the underlying message was that US concerns about militancy need to be addressed. But the prime minister gave few details on how he might bring about an end to drone strikes, which many in Pakistan see an affront to Pakistani sovereignty. Washington regards the drone attacks as a vital weapon against militants fighting US-led forces in Afghanistan. Mr Sharif also appealed for unity, while stressing that improving the economy will be his top priority. But to do that he may need a bailout from the International Monetary Fund. Our correspondent says Mr Sharif's desire to rejuvenate the economy and improve security are both areas that require some speedy but difficult decision-making in a geo-strategic environment which is shaped and controlled by the military. While the new prime minister favours talks with the Pakistani Taliban, many expect that now he is in power he will accept the army's view that all past negotiations have failed and the only option is to fight the jihadis who attack domestic targets. Profile: Nawaz Sharif Economic challenges Why Pakistan voted for Sharif He becomes prime minister at a critical time in the battle against the Taliban - as Nato forces begin the process of withdrawing from Afghanistan. Infrastructure projects are another important priority for the new leader - he wants to stop power cuts and construct a bullet train between Karachi and Peshawar. The swearing-in ceremony was attended by members of parliament, foreign diplomats and dignitaries, senior members of the judiciary and chiefs of the armed forces at the presidential palace. Although other candidates from the Pakistan People's Party and from Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party stood against him, Mr Sharif's nomination was a formality because of his party's commanding position in parliament. With the support of some independent MPs, the PML-N has an outright majority and has not needed to form a coalition. President Asif Ali Zardari - his old political rival - administered the oath to him. PML-N sources are reported in the Pakistan media as saying that the new prime minister wants to compose a cabinet of fewer than 24 ministers but at the same time is under pressure to have representatives from all the country's provinces within it. Correspondents say that Mr Sharif's task is all the more complicated because most PML-N members come from Punjab, the country's most populous province. Residents of the town of Barnaul in Siberia, tired of corruption scandals, put Barsik's name forward for mayor in an unofficial online poll. The 18-month-old finished ahead of his human rivals, with more than 90% of the 5,400 votes cast. But, sadly for his supporters, he is not formally registered as a candidate, so will not be allowed to take office. Barsik is far from alone, however - he is only the latest animal to be backed for political office. Some have even succeeded. The extravagantly-named cat from Kentucky is seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2016 US election. There are no reliable polls to indicate where he is polling behind Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Limberbutt's campaign website says he "has a kind heart and fierce loyalty to America", backs affordable health care for all humans and cats, and supports increased space travel, especially for cats. Saucisse - French for sausage - had already tasted fame thanks to appearances in his owner Serge Scotto's crime novels. But his career really took off in 1998, when he ran for mayor of Marseille as a protest candidate. His campaign slogan translated as "For a more humane saus-iety, not a dog's life!" - and it seemed to work, as he gained 4.5% of the vote. He went on to compete in the 2002 presidential elections, but lost out to Jacques Chirac. Sadly, Saucisse passed away in 2014 aged 16, but such was his notoriety, a park was named in his honour in Marseille. It is quite something when a pig is one of the cleanest candidates on a ballot. Such was the case in Flint, Michigan, last month when nominees included two convicted criminals - among them one man who served 19 years in prison for murder. "I think electing a mayor who was convicted of murder sends a bad message about our city," lawyer Michael Ewing said, when announcing the campaign to elect Giggles. In the end, the mini-pig dropped out of the race. The convicted killer did not win either. It is important to point out, should it not be obvious, that H'Angus is in fact a man - Stuart Drummond - dressed as a monkey. H'Angus is the mascot of Hartlepool football club in the north-east of England, and was named mayor of the town in 2002 even though Mr Drummond initially ran as a joke. Why a monkey? Folklore says a French ship was wrecked off Hartlepool in the Napoleonic Wars. A monkey found in the water was hanged by fishermen who feared it was a French spy. Mr Drummond, under his real name, won two further elections. H'Angus, meanwhile, is still going strong. The scheme, at 103 Colmore Row, would see the demolition of the NatWest Tower and its replacement by a £60m 26-storey skyscraper. The developers said they had submitted the plans to the city council. The council said it could not comment as it did not wish to prejudice the planning process. Birmingham City Council planners previously deferred the demolition of the John Madin-designed NatWest Tower until the developers, Sterling Property Ventures and Rockspring, submitted plans for a replacement building. The 1970s 22-storey building has been empty since 2003. If approved the scheme would be the tallest office building under construction, although taller buildings have been developed in London and Manchester. The proposed development will comprise of 19 floors of office space, with basement parking for 34 cars and 92 bicycles. There will also be a winter garden and café at street level and a retail unit. At the top of the building, there are plans for a restaurant offering 360 degree views across the city. James Howarth, managing director of Sterling Property Ventures, said: "103 will not just be another elitist commercial building. "We are keen it becomes a destination for the people of Birmingham. The winter garden and skyline restaurant mean it will be accessible to all." Eric Linden, European director at Rockspring, said: "It's our first investment in Birmingham and we are really proud of it. "It is an elegant, modern building, symbolic of the city's ongoing regeneration." If planning permission is granted, the proposed completion date is 2018. Officers were called to a property on Allen Street, in Allenton, Derby, on Thursday evening. A 34-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. He has yet to be formally identified. James Eames, of Allen Street, Allenton, is due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday. Police had sealed off the terraced house on Friday while forensic teams conducted a search. The computers were taken during a break-in at Swan Films in Rusholme, Manchester on Thursday afternoon. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the computers had since been recovered and the video files had not been accessed. It has launched a review into its security arrangements. Six men have been arrested in relation to the burglary. A CPS spokeswoman said the material, which related to Greater Manchester Police cases and also included witnesses' video statements, was sent to the company in August. "The CPS has secured all material which remained at the burgled premises and is asking for an urgent explanation of the security measures in place," she said. She added staff had contacted those involved in the cases affected to inform them "of the successful recovery of the material in question". The bees disrupted play twice - sending players diving to the ground - before the game was officially stopped in the 27th over, with Sri Lanka on 117-4. A groundsman used a fire extinguisher to try to disperse the bees, before a beekeeper was called to the Wanderers. Play was able to restart an hour and five minutes later after the delay. The hosts dominated the opening exchanges and it was no surprise when an unmarked Ben Kennedy headed home Jobi McAnuff's cross in the 18th minute. It was 2-0 four minutes later when Nicky Hunt dragged Luke Wilkinson down in the area and Matt Godden smashed the penalty into the top corner. Orient responded almost instantly when Paul McCallum headed Michael Collins' expert free-kick into the corner. Danny Webb's team pushed for an equaliser but it remained 2-1 at the break - although not for long. Stevenage needed only three second-half minutes to extend their advantage when Wilkinson headed in McAnuff's cross. Tom Pett made it 4-1 just past the hour mark after good play on the left despite Sam Sargeant getting a hand to his shot. Although Orient pushed for a consolation, it was comfortable for Stevenage, who moved up to seventh in the table. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

Drivers faced delays, and inevitably a hideous smell, on the southbound A737. The fish blocked the road and caused disruption back to Paisley while the clean-up operation took place. The 44-year-old former United States international striker was appointed Terriers boss in November and guided them to Championship safety last season. His assistant Christoph Buhler has also signed a new deal. "David is a superb operator and has used his experience of working at Borussia Dortmund to improve our club," said chairman Dean Hoyle. "We've only just started the process of improving the club, but I sense the level of excitement amongst our fans is unparalleled since I became chairman. David - and Christoph - have played a huge role in that. "That excitement carries to the people at the club, myself included. We're realistic in what we can achieve in the short term, but I'm so happy that David and Christoph wasted no time in showing their commitment to what we want to do here in the long term." Wagner replaced Chris Powell after a spell as Borussia Dortmund's second team coach. He added: "The way that the club, its people and the fans have accepted me and Christoph since the first day we arrived in Huddersfield has been unbelievable. I'd like to thank our chairman Dean Hoyle and our fantastic fans for their trust, help and support. "I knew that this club was one that wanted to embrace new ideas, but I now understand how different our ideas have been. That has made the reaction of everyone here truly special." Bedfordshire PCs Christopher Thomas and Christopher Pitts chased and detained Faruk Ali, 33, in Luton in 2014. The officers were cleared of misconduct in public office following a trial. But Leicestershire Police found they had a case to answer, and the pair were found to have breached standards of professional conduct. Mr Thomas was found to have breached four standards following a week-long hearing and Mr Pitts was found to have breached three, both amounting to gross misconduct. The standards breached by both men were around honesty and integrity; authority, respect and courtesy and discreditable conduct. Mr Thomas was also found to have breached equality and diversity standards in relation to Mr Ali's disability. The Leicestershire force carried out the investigation into the case for the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). Mr Thomas, 33, of Welwyn Garden City, and Mr Pitts, 39, of Bedford, were accused of laughing as they drove after Mr Ali, who was walking in the street near his home in Luton. Following the misconduct hearing, Bedfordshire Police's Deputy Chief Constable apologised to Mr Ali on behalf of the force. "The two officers' conduct has fallen well below any standard that is acceptable in policing and they have now paid the ultimate sanction in losing their jobs," he said. "This should send a very clear message to police officers that this type of behaviour is not acceptable and will not be tolerated." Many know the dispiriting feeling when the summer holiday flight they had their eye on suddenly goes up £50, or the Uber they call on a Friday night is four times the price they paid the day before. This is known as "surge" or "dynamic" pricing - when the cost of an item is dictated by demand. And while it's common in the hospitality and travel sectors, the high street has generally stuck to the fixed-price model. But now, digital displays coupled with the analysis of vast amounts of customer data is enabling retailers to change the cost of hundreds of thousands of items instantaneously and play with prices in real time to attract specific types of customer at precise times during the day. In the US for example, Coca-Cola has been using Google's cloud platform to send videos and discount coupons to customers' smartphones in Albertsons grocery stores. Digital signs encourage shoppers to find the soft drinks aisle, where they are then targeted with personalised special offers and content based on their online browsing habits and spending profiles. While some see this as an invasion of privacy, the industry sees it as a good example of "location-based" marketing coupled with dynamic pricing. So in future, the prices you are offered in-store might be for you and you only. "We can understand who the consumer is and get the right content and messaging to him or her at the right time," Greg Chambers, global group director of digital innovation for Coca-Cola said at a Google conference earlier this year. "We're using the power of the cloud to bring a real-time, media-rich experience to shoppers in the store." And this dynamic pricing trend could be coming to the UK. Last year, Marks and Spencer conducted an electronic pricing trial where sandwiches were sold at a discount in the morning to encourage shoppers to buy their lunch early. While the company isn't currently planning to do this more widely, it comes as several of the large supermarkets are trialling the idea. Sainsbury's says it ran an electronic pricing trial two years ago - but wouldn't say what conclusions it reached - while Morrisons and Tesco are each currently trying out the system in one of their stores. They all say that the aim behind the scheme isn't to bring in dynamic pricing, but don't deny that it will make switching between prices easier. Electronic pricing means supermarkets "will be able to flex their prices a lot more", says Neil Mason, European analyst at market research firm Mintel. "Retail is really tough nowadays - you've got to be quick to respond and e-pricing is the way to do that," he says. "It's about being more efficient and responsive to what is happening in the marketplace. "They might want to increase prices on certain products because of inflationary pressure, but also might want to decrease prices because of promotions - so it could be good for consumers. "At the end of the day supermarkets have to be keen on price competition, especially now the big discounters have entered the sector." More Technology of Business In the UK, an intense price war between the discounters, Lidl and Aldi, and the "big four" - Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asda - as well as growing competition from online retailers such as Ocado and Amazon, has taken its toll on profit margins. On top of that, food prices are rising as inflation pushes up the cost of imports, something that supermarkets are loath to pass on to their customers. Meanwhile, those customers are feeling the pinch as wages fail to keep up with the cost of living. In this context, perhaps it was only a matter of time before electronic pricing made the move to UK retail, an area that is constantly looking at ways to innovate. Displaydata, one of the world's leading suppliers of electronic shelf labels, confirms that electronic pricing's newfound popularity in the UK has transformed their Berkshire-based business. Chief executive Andrew Dark says: "It's fascinating for us because up until the last 12 months we have been a UK company that was effectively a 100% exporter. "This phenomenon has been building in Europe and the US and has now arrived on our shores, which is great. I think there are a number of reasons, not least that UK retailers are very conscious of their consumers." Mr Dark estimates that if the technology were implemented in every store, 10 million prices could be changed within 24 seconds, not only speeding up the process but helping to cut food waste and making pricing more accurate. "I think most major retail outlets will move to this over the next five years - it's a global trend, not just a UK trend." Electronic displays like Displaydata's can be operated remotely using wireless technology from a single server and a computer at the retailer's HQ. Alongside changing thousands of prices simultaneously, shops can use the labels to convey information about stock availability, social media reviews and, as in the case of Coca-Cola in the US, connect with smartphones to send customers targeted promotions. Toby Pickard, senior innovations and trends analyst at food and grocery research charity IGD, agrees digitalising price labels has many benefits for big supermarkets, once they get past the initial set-up costs. "Retailers will be able to gain more data about the products they sell. For example, they can closely gauge how prices fluctuating throughout the day may alter shoppers' purchasing habits, or if on-shelf digital product reviews increase sales in-store." Digital pricing could also help persuade customers to buy new products. "By making fixtures stand out more, they can encourage customers to try new products and make impulse purchases," says Mr Pickard. "Systems like this could encourage further customer interaction through smartphones, change messaging by time of day, and perhaps offer dynamic pricing." The big unknown is how we consumers will take to the idea of uncertain prices in an already uncertain world. But that changed following a 2012 military coup and a months-long rebellion and Islamist insurgency in the north. Civilian rule was restored in 2013, but journalists and media remain the targets of attacks and intimidation by armed groups and the security forces. Radio is the leading medium. There are hundreds of stations, operated by private and community broadcasters and by the state-run Office de Radiodiffusion-Television du Mali (ORTM). The TV sector is much smaller. Take-up is hindered by a lack of electricity in many areas. There are around 30 daily and weekly newspapers, nearly all of them publishing from Bamako. Circulation figures are low. L'Essor is the leading title. The BBC broadcasts in Bamako (88.9 FM) and Radio France Internationale is widely available on FM. By 2016, 2.2 million Malians were online - around 12% of the population (Internetlivestats.com). There have been no reported instances of online censorship. Social media use is concentrated in the cities and among young people. Facebook is the top platform, followed by Twitter. Conservative councillor Robert Gould was elected at a meeting of the full council. Mr Flower, of Verwood, is facing trial accused of failing to declare interests in two housing companies. He stepped down on Tuesday and has denied three charges under the Localism Act 2011. He will appear at Bournemouth Magistrates' Court on 24 April. All 132 passengers on board the A320 Airbus have left the plane, with 22 taken to hospital for observation and treatment of minor injuries. Flight AC624 from Toronto arrived shortly after midnight (04:00 GMT) and reportedly hit a power pylon after landing. Multiple flights into Halifax have been cancelled. The airport's power was knocked out but Nova Scotia Power say that it has been restored. There was heavy snow in the area at the time and visibility was poor. "An aircraft made a poor landing," confirmed Peter Spurway, a spokesperson for Halifax Stanfield airport. Within a few months she was hooked. "I loved it but it didn't love me back," says Laura, not her real name, a wobble of emotion in her voice. She is now 25. At her peak she was losing about A$5,000 ($3,650; £2,350) a month. "It would be basically all the money I had until my last dollar was gone." Laura had a decent job but she would pour all of her salary into the pokies and then borrow from friends and relatives to gamble more. "I lost my relationship. I lost my job. I went to pretty desperate measures to fund my gambling." Laura is far from alone. Australians are officially the world's biggest gamblers, with each adult losing on average more than A$1,380 a year. That is double the amount lost by Americans and almost three times as much as the British. "Australians lose more per head than any other country in the world," says Dr Sally Gainsbury from the Centre for Gambling Research at Southern Cross University. "Australia definitely has a gambling problem," she says. "One percent of adults have a serious gambling problem which is actually a clinical disorder. Four percent of adults have moderate gambling problems and eight percent a low range of gambling problems." That means it is estimated there are a staggering half a million Australians at risk from problem gambling. By far the biggest problem is slot machines, of which there are more than 200,000 across Australia. "Pokies are the biggest revenue generator," says Dr Gainsbury. "Around two-thirds of all gambling losses are through the pokies and in Australia that amounts to around A$9.8bn a year." It is incredibly easy to gamble in Australia. There are pokies in just about every pub or bar. Many pubs contain betting shops, where punters are able to gamble and drink at the same time, and there's nearly always a handily placed cash machine near by, often even in the pub itself. "My partner used to say it was like I was hypnotised," says Laura. "I was chasing the adrenalin of having a big win. There was just something about the lights and the sounds of the pokie machines. I would just crave it." Laura, now a university student who hasn't gambled for more than a year since joining Gamblers Anonymous, says she knew the odds were against her but she just couldn't stop herself. Gambling addiction takes many forms. "I knew exactly what time I got paid and I lost all that money before I even left the office," says Matthew, again not his real name, a 35-year-old IT worker. Matthew became hooked on amateur online trading sites, speculating on shares and currencies. He first noticed he had a problem not because of the losses but because of the amount of time he was wasting at work researching the markets. But soon he says he was losing more money than many people make in a year; tens of thousands of dollars. "I lost a relationship, my fiancee. The relationship I had with my mum went down the drain," Matthew says. "The thing that got most people was that I lied to their faces about where I was and about my money situation." Most compulsive gamblers have similar stories to tell. "In terms of social costs, it is estimated that problem gambling costs A$4.7bn each year," says Dr Gainsbury. "Gambling is something that affects not just the individual but the people around them. We're talking family breakdown, unemployment, work disruption and then things you can't even put a price on like suicide." With such a heavy social cost you would think the government would be keen to do something about it. You would be wrong. "Gambling taxes are one of the single largest sources of income for the state and territory governments," says Dr Gainsbury. "It's estimated that in 2014-15 they'll get almost A$5.9bn from gambling [in taxes]. This is over 10% of total tax revenue for some of the states." And if anything, gambling is growing in Australia. On Sydney Harbour, a huge new supercasino is being built by the Australian businessman James Packer. The A$2bn project is being aimed primarily at the Chinese market, hoping to lure a growing number of high rollers from Asia. "Chinese gamblers are being highly targeted," says Dr Gainsbury. "They're the ones who are expected to be staying at the five-star hotel and playing at the high roller tables." Despite the estimated 500,000 people here at risk from problem gambling, Australia looks set to solidify its title as the capital of big betting.

The world's best players know this week's showdown, on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, will provide the most rigorous examination of their games and their mental strength. So it is a supreme irony that Oakmont yielded the first 63 in a major championship, when Johnny Miller surged from six strokes behind to win the 1973 US Open. He was assisted by uncharacteristically soft greens, (a greenkeeper accidentally left sprinklers on overnight) but it is still, arguably, the greatest round ever played. What the club's founder, Henry Clay Fownes, would have made of such scoring is difficult to fathom. He always wanted Oakmont to play as hard as the iron he produced in making the fortune that financed the course. Certainly Miller's extraordinary feat dramatically bucked the trend at the Pennsylvania layout. Success on the course - a rolling, open layout - is usually about patiently grinding out pars rather than scorching birdie blitzes. The last time the US Open was staged there in 2007, Britain's Nick Dougherty held the first-round lead with a two-under-par 68 that depended on him taking just 11 putts on the back nine. Angel Cabrera was the eventual champion, finishing five over par, as he held off Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk to win the first of his two major titles. Woods played brilliantly in the third round, hitting 13 of 14 fairways and 17 out of 18 greens in regulation, yet was still only one under par for his round. The former world number one suggested Oakmont was unique because there was no let up, no straightforward shots. "On this golf course there are none, and no easy birdies," he said. "Most golf courses you play, you're going to pick up a cheap birdie here and there." Oakmont is steeped in history and since it was founded in 1903 has had various incarnations. There was a vanity project that introduced around 15,000 trees after esteemed golf writer Herbert Warren Wind described it as "an ugly old brute" in 1962. But they were gone by 2007, removing a parkland feel and recreating a more exposed environment. The fairways are narrow, the rough thick and, weather permitting, the undulating and slick greens will be granite hard. There are 210 bunkers, averaging nearly 12 per hole. They include the famous "church pews" to the left of the 3rd and right of the 4th fairways. Measuring 100 yards in length it has a dozen strips of unruly grass running horizontally across the hazard. The par-three eighth stretches to around 300 yards on the 7,219-yard par-70 course. "You've got to drive the ball in the fairway," Woods observed. "And if you hit the ball below the hole which (ordinarily) is going to be short of the hole, you're going to have easy putts most of the day. "But here all the greens fall in different directions and to try and get it below the hole, generally you're going to end up running off the green, so you're going to have cross-green putts, downhill, triple breakers." Woods' prolonged absence, as he recovers from his back surgery last August, means the 14-times major champion is not in the field this week. His long-time rival Phil Mickelson is competing though, seeking the one major to elude him. The six-times runner up is playing in his 26th US Open and tuned up nicely with a runner-up finish in Memphis last week. After two practice rounds last week he said: "I really think it is the hardest golf course we have ever played." Every component will be tested; driving, approach play, chipping and putting. So which of the world's top players will it suit best? The PGA Tour's statistical gurus believe their "strokes gained" figures provide the best gauge. These numbers show how golfers compare with each other in different aspects of the game. Defending champion Jordan Spieth is the only player to figure in the top 10 of three of the four key categories this season. He ranks ninth in driving, top in the 'around the green' stat and sixth in putting. However Spieth is a lowly 106th in approach play and at a course where finding not just the green but the correct part of the putting surface is so important, that may prove a telling weakness. Australian Jason Day is the leading putter but ranks 44th in driving. If he has an accurate week from the tee, using his driver sparingly, the world number one is very well equipped to claim his fourth win of the year. Leading the way with the driver is Rory McIlroy, who is also an impressive eighth in the short-game stats. But the Northern Irishman is 122nd in putting despite a much-improved display with the short stick in his last outing at The Memorial Tournament. McIlroy will also need plenty of patience and cannot afford the unforced errors that have undermined him too frequently this year. Driving accuracy will be the key for Mickelson (111th) because he is otherwise immaculate - 10th in approach play, 12th around the greens and third on them. Rickie Fowler statistically is the most impressive across the four key categories. Driving (sixth) is his greatest strength while putting - a perfectly respectable 34th - is his biggest relative weakness. Dustin Johnson's poor chipping and temperament in the most prestigious events undermine his chances of landing a first major. It was a year ago that he three-putted the last from short range at Chambers Bay to hand victory to Spieth. Meanwhile, Masters champion Danny Willett and 2013 US Open winner Justin Rose (bad back permitting) are perhaps the most likely to prosper among the 12 Englishmen in the field. Also among the dozen is Paul Casey, who shot a second-round 66 - the lowest score of the week - the last time the US Open was played at Oakmont. "The best round of golf I've ever played," he said at the time. It was one of only eight sub-par rounds in the championship. Casey is currently the world number 24 and cannot be ruled out. Indeed, the US Open frequently yields champions from outside the very top of the rankings. It is often the case that the more penal the set-up, the more random are the winners. Cabrera was 41st in the world when he won in 2007, Lucas Glover was 71st at Bethpage a year later and Graeme McDowell 37th at Pebble Beach in 2010. Indeed, it will be the player who maintains the mental fortitude to hold together their game and emerge last man standing against the relentless pressure of this brute of a course who will lift the trophy. And unless the elements conspire to seriously soften Oakmont, don't expect them to card a 63 along the way.

Championship golf is never more exacting than in the US Open and when it is staged at Oakmont Country Club the test is usually the hardest of all.

Media playback is unsupported on your device 2 July 2015 Last updated at 14:27 BST These three were caught in Blackburn, in Edinburgh by Moray Cumming and Clitheroe in Lancashire. Yesterday was the hottest July day on record. BBC weatherman Simon King says there were 36,000 lightning flashes in 24 hours from 8am on Wednesday to 8am Thursday morning. One man was killed and two other people were hurt in the incident. The attacker got out of his car armed with a knife. He was shot, injured and arrested by police. He is being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, but police say there is no evidence of terrorism. The attacker, described by police as being "without a migration background", drove what is thought to be a rental car into pedestrians in one of the city's central squares, injuring three people. One of them, a 73-year-old German man, later died in hospital. The attacker then left the car but was tracked down, shot and seriously injured by police. He was questioned on Sunday in hospital after undergoing surgery but did not comment on the accusations against him, officials said. The two injured people were a 32-year-old Austrian national and a 29-year-old Bosnian woman, police said. Their injuries were said to be minor. An attack in December by a Tunisian Islamist who drove a lorry into a Berlin Christmas market, killing 12 people and injuring 49, has heightened security fears in Germany. After England were bowled out for 297, Pakistan replied with 400 but the hosts won by 141 runs to take a 2-1 lead into Thursday's final Test at The Oval. "It does a huge amount for the team, knowing you can be 100 runs behind and come back," Anderson said. "It shows what sort of character we've got in the team as well." Anderson returned to the top of the Test bowling rankings after a match haul of 4-85 in Birmingham and he believes his individual confidence is shared across the team. "Going into this game we know now we can win from pretty much any position," added the Lancashire bowler. "Hopefully we won't be 100 runs behind on first innings this time, but the confidence in the group is high at the moment." England are thought to be considering a place for Yorkshire leg-spinner Adil Rashid, who is a regular in the one-day team but who played the last of his three Tests in November last year. Rashid, who took 5-64 in his debut against Pakistan in October, is expected to be included in the squad for the winter tours to the spin-friendly conditions of Bangladesh and India. "You've got to pick your team according to the conditions," Anderson said. "If the pitch is suitable for two spinners then we'll play two spinners. "If it's a pitch that has got green grass on it, I don't think there's any point playing him for the sake of playing him. "It's nice to have someone like Adil waiting to play. He's a quality spinner and we're very fortunate we've got him and he'll hopefully be a big part of our winter if he doesn't play this game." Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur insists his team can recover to draw the series despite losing successive matches by heavy margins at Old Trafford and Edgbaston. "There were a lot of good things for us out of that Test match. I certainly did not feel we ever rolled over there, we were in the contest for most of that game. "We probably won five sessions and England won three. The sessions England won, they won convincingly. "We hate losing but we lost with a lot of credibility at Edgbaston and it puts us in a really good space to come back here." The National Football Museum in Manchester invited supporters last summer to donate old shirts for the charity Street Child United. BBC Sport commentator Guy Mowbray gave 26 tops while Scotland boss Gordon Strachan also donated shirts. The museum has launched another amnesty this summer for the charity Kit Aid. John Wroe, chief executive of Street Child United, said the donations were "a brilliant reminder of the power of the kindness of strangers and of football". "A change of clothes is a rare option for street children. The closest some street children get to a 'wardrobe' is a plastic bag stuffed up a tall tree and carefully hidden from view." The most donated shirts were of Manchester City, England, Blackburn Rovers, Manchester United and Liverpool. Shirts from more than 80 clubs were handed over, as well as kits from Sunday league clubs. This year's amnesty runs until 31 August. Whether you are hooked on horror movies, transfixed by period dramas, or obsessed with spy thrillers, for some people being part of the action is the ultimate dream. They want to be able to feel that they have entered that fictional universe. For the cynical it may sound like a very niche desire, but a global industry has in fact built up in recent years to enable a growing number of people to spend an evening, day, weekend, or even a whole week immersed in the world of their favourite film or book. One such "immersive experience" company, London-based Secret Me, enables people to pretend that they are James Bond. Participants can sign up for a week to be flown to secret locations across the UK and around the world, where they are taught by former members of both UK special forces and intelligence services. "The standard programme includes unarmed combat, weapons, surveillance, kidnap and hostage negotiation, and drinks and poisons," says Secret Me co-founder Sara Fazlali. But costing £10,000 for a weekend, and a whopping £250,000 for a week, is Secret Me merely offering expensive mini-breaks for oligarchs and hedge fund managers with egos to sate and unlimited piles of money to spend? Ms Fazlali bristles at the suggestion. "It's very practical," she says. "Underlying it is the psychology of what kind of person you are, how you think, and vitally, how you react. "They can be applied in lots of business situations, especially in the boardroom when negotiations are conducted in pressured environments. We also teach poker skills for this reason." Yet despite the useful skills that Secret Me's 50 to 60 customers per year learn, Ms Fazlali admits that the exclusivity is also a big draw. "They can immerse themselves in a world that no-one else can have. They can have all the cars, the yachts, the watches in the world, but this experience is unique." Kinder on the pocket, but no less immersive, are the Regency-themed events staged by the Jane Austen Festival in Bath, in the west of England. On a bright, balmy summer's day, 150 sprightly dancers adhering to a strict dress code skipped and bounced their way through the cotillions and reels that were the height of fashion in 1811, the year in which Austen's Sense and Sensibility was published. It was the night of the annual summer ball, and one of those in attendance was Kristina Tanasichuk, who together with her daughter Kalyna White, had flown over from the US to indulge their passion for Austen. Resplendent in a high-waisted dress with suitably demure earrings, Kristina says: "We've come to see the places we've read about, and to experience some of the beauty and elegance of the period. "Wearing the right clothes and doing the correct dances is all part of this." For sisters Claire and Rhonda Harris from Birmingham, the pre-ball preparations are all important. "We spend the winter deciding on clothes, adornments and fans," says Claire. Rhonda adds: "We make our dresses and spend hours thinking about the material and where we can get the patterns from." Tickets for the ball cost £58.50. London-based Secret Cinema is another business that enables people to immerse themselves in their favourite fictional world. Its film screenings are whole evening affairs incorporating dressing up, recreating scenes from the film, and above all, audience participation. About 30,000 people attended its Dirty Dancing event in July, held over six evenings in a north London park. Decorated to look like the film's Kellerman's resort in Catskills, New York, guests indulged in dance classes, hula hoop competitions and crazy golf. Secret Cinema's events sell out in hours, and Miguel Hernando Torres Umba, its associate creative director, says that the success is down to attention to detail. "The work starts months in advance," he says. "For Dirty Dancing we created an entire pre-narrative with an interactive website. "Within that there's a radio station and guests sign up, are given a new identity and location and can get in touch with each other in character." Secret Cinema events typically start at around £65 per ticket, which has attracted criticism. On top of the initial price guests are also charged for food, drinks and some activities. Mr Torres Umba says that the complaints are unfair, and that the prices reflect the work that goes into the events. "They're five-hour shows with professional sound and lighting and hundreds of actors and technicians. The pricing is similar to a West End show, and we're comfortable with that." But why do a growing number of people wish to immerse themselves in one of their favourite books or films? "The biggest factor is empathy," says Patrick Fagan, a consumer psychologist. "The brain has mirror neurons - if you see someone is in pain, you don't actually feel it yourself, but your brain acts as though it does. "This happens in a similar way when we're watching a film, and people feel very strong bonds with what's happening on the screen." He adds that nostalgia also plays a part. "People experience films as children, and they feel very strongly about them, often developing emotional attachments and memories associated with that film." With talks between London Underground (LU) and the unions at an impasse and showing little sign of progress, are there now further signs the idea of a Night Tube is withering? Previously London Mayor Boris Johnson has said the Night Tube could not be at "any cost" and today he told LBC Radio the weekend service was not "absolutely critical". Asked whether he could provide a date for the introduction of the 24-hour Tube, Mr Johnson said: "I've got to tell you this is something that the city of London has done without for 150 years. What I won't do is pay an unreasonable price for it, which Londoners would feel in their fares. "There's a very good deal on the table. I just hope that members of the Tube unions will get a chance to look at it. No-one will work more hours than they do today. Drivers have the same number of weekends as now. "I want you to know that this is something I think we should have but - I hope my attitude is clear - it is not something that I regard as absolutely critical." That is arguably a further shift away from a policy announced with much fanfare alongside the closure of ticket offices two years ago. Compared to the policy of closing ticket offices the differences are stark. LU forced those closures through even though the unions didn't want the changes. With the Night Tube it depends on the agreement of those same unions, but it cannot force the changes through without drivers. There also doesn't seem to be a sense of uproar from anyone that the plans for the Night Tube now seem to be in disarray; there is no start date and there seems to be political apathy around the whole idea. Of course there is much bluff and bluster during these talks, but it does makes you wonder if it'll ever happen? Former England captain Borthwick, 37, has reportedly been approached by Lions coach Warren Gatland, along with Ireland's defence coach Andy Farrell. England head coach Eddie Jones said: "I'm happy for all of my coaching team except me to be involved." The Lions will play three Tests against New Zealand in June and July next year. Borthwick, who won 57 caps for England between 2001 and 2010, joined Jones' coaching team in December 2015. England beat Fiji on Saturday for their 11th win from 11 games under Jones and are next scheduled to face the All Blacks in 2018. "If they (his coaching team) are offered a job I will encourage them to take the job and get down there and work out how to beat New Zealand because that is one of our aims. They can help us and the Lions," the Australian said. "What a great opportunity to spend six weeks in New Zealand on the Lions tour. "Ten weeks of hearing 'bro' seven million times and getting to understand everything about New Zealand rugby." England scored nine tries in their 58-15 over Fiji at Twickenham, a performance Jones described as "good fish and chips", a reference to the traditional style he said his side would play with before the match. "It doesn't mean fish and chips is basic," he said. "I thought we played some sparkling rugby, really good stuff. The ball movement, crispness of passing was fantastic. "To score 58 points against Fiji is outstanding because they are a fair team, so I'm really happy with aspects of our game." Winger Semesa Rokoduguni scored two tries against Fiji - on his second England appearance - as did Jonathan Joseph and Joe Launchbury, while fly-half George Ford also impressed. "Rokoduguni has definitely got a smile on his face," said Jones. "I'm really pleased for him because he worked hard to get this chance. He got a lot of reward for the hard work he's done. "Some of George Ford's alignment on some of the phase ball was absolutely outstanding, the best I have seen for a long time. "We are not going to play the perfect game - everyone wants to play the perfect game, when you play the perfect game you can retire. We haven't done that." Elsewhere on Saturday, Wales needed an 80th-minute drop-goal from Sam Davies to beat Japan 33-30. And Jones, who coached Japan from 2012 to 2015, said it was "not a good result for Wales". "The Japanese cry when they win and they cry when they lose, so there will be plenty of tears," he said. "It's a fantastic result for them and Wales were obviously complacent again. "You look at the side Wales put out, they shouldn't be winning by three points against a Japanese team that has seven or eight new caps." In a quiet first half, Tom Huddlestone came closest to breaking the deadlock when he forced a save out of David Stockdale with a long-range effort. Tomer Hemed looked to have put Albion ahead when he turned in Anthony Knockaert's ball, but he was offside. Sam Clucas almost snatched three points for the Tigers but Stockdale did well to push his fierce shot on to the bar. Hull are now two points clear at the top, but they did not capitalise on second-placed Middlesbrough's draw with Leeds United on Monday. Brighton, who have never won at the KC Stadium, moved above Burnley into third place and are now just a point off the automatic promotion places. Hull boss Steve Bruce: Media playback is not supported on this device "Fair play to Brighton, they have come and worked very hard and frustrated us. "When you get a point away from home you are going to be happy with that. They have come with a game plan and it's worked very well. "We didn't play well enough tonight and that's going to happen. We take the point and move on." Brighton boss Chris Hughton: Media playback is not supported on this device "We played a different system. I was pleased in Inigo Calderon and Steve Sidwell, I was really pleased with both of them. "At any stage of the season against these it's a good result. I think on the balance of play and the chances, I think we deserved it. "You want to make it a tight game and the chances are going to be minimal." Manager Gary Johnson told the club website that the 17-year-old has "had a really good pre-season" this summer. Bower's first start came against Oxford City in an FA Trophy replay on 26 January last season. Speaking after that match, Bower told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "Especially for my dad and my brother, it's a bit of a surreal thing for them watching me play for the team we all support." Bower, who has played for the club since Under-13 level, added: "If I want to play at this level I need to bulk out massively, otherwise players will just be too physical for me." Media playback is not supported on this device Pakistan are 146-3 after day three and have a lead of 74 runs over England, who must win to avoid a series defeat. "We're confident in chasing whatever target they set us," Taylor, 25, told BBC Sport. "The wicket is playing better than it has done all game and everyone can see that we are playing spin a lot better." England have the disadvantage of batting last on a pitch that has offered assistance to the spin bowlers throughout, with Pakistan's slow bowlers taking eight wickets between them in England's first-innings total of 306 all out. "It's close," former England captain Michael Vaughan told BBC Test Match Special. "It is on an edge but I would still prefer the runs on the board. "I would prefer to be in Pakistan's dressing room now - but only just." Pakistan looked set to take control on day three when a century stand between Mohammad Hafeez and Azhar Ali wiped out England's first-innings lead of 72. But three wickets in the evening session, including one each to the excellent pace pair of James Anderson and Stuart Broad, dragged the tourists back into contention. Taylor, who made 76 on his recall to the Test side after a three-year absence, added: "I think it's firmly in the balance. "The way Jimmy and Broady bowled was unbelievable. They showed a lot of character and discipline and got their rewards. "It's going to be a massive first session on day four for both teams. Hopefully we can get early wickets." Listen to Simon Mann and Geoffrey Boycott's review of each day's play via the TMS podcast Listen to commentary highlights from the series on Pint-Sized TMS The scheme was first considered in February 2015 by then-Prime Minister David Cameron. But an independent review published on Monday warned it would not help people get back into work. A Downing Street spokesman said "withdrawing benefits from obese people is not under consideration, no." Before the last election, Mr Cameron said too many people were stuck on sickness benefits because of issues that could be addressed but were not. "Some have drug or alcohol problems, but refuse treatment," he said. "In other cases, people have problems with their weight that could be addressed, but instead a life on benefits rather than work becomes the choice. "It is not fair to ask hardworking taxpayers to fund the benefits of people who refuse to accept the support and treatment that could help them get back to a life of work." However, an independent review from Dame Carol Black has come to the conclusion the proposals would not work. The report said: "We are clear that benefit claimants with addictions should, like all other claimants, do all they can to re-enter work. "However... we doubt whether mandating addiction treatment - one of the possibilities mentioned in our terms of reference - should be the first response to the evidence problems for the cohorts under discussion." The review also said making people have treatment could lead to more people hiding their problems rather than seeking help. "We also heard from health professionals serious concerns about the legal and ethical implications of mandating treatment and whether this would be a cost-effective approach," it said. The review also did not find evidence that obesity was a causal factor for unemployment or that weight-loss achieved through non-surgical treatment led to employment. Government troops fled when the militants raided Mafa town on Sunday night, Ahmad Zannah added. The attack brings to about 150 the number of people killed in Borno since Friday in attacks by the militants and the military, reports say. The Islamist group Boko Haram is waging an insurgency in Nigeria. President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in Borno and two other states in May, giving the military extra powers to curb the four-year insurgency. However, Boko Haram has stepped up its violent campaign, with hardly a day going by without reports of a deadly attack by militants, says BBC Nigeria correspondent Will Ross. Thousand of people have been killed in the conflict and hundreds of thousands have fled their homes. Mr Zannah, a senator from Borno state, told BBC Focus on Africa that Boko Haram had warned about a week earlier that it planned to attack Mafa. Schools were shut and most residents fled to Maiduguri city, about 45km (28 miles) away, he said. Military reinforcements were sent to Mafa, but soldiers still lacked the firepower or numerical strength to confront the militants, Mr Zannah added. "When the attack took place, all of them ran away, along with the villagers. There was no resistance," he said. Two policemen were killed by a bomb on Monday morning and fourteen soldiers were missing, Mr Zannah said. On Saturday night, suspected Boko Haram fighters reportedly destroyed the entire village of Mainok, about 50km west of Maiduguri. Gunmen attacked the village with assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and explosives, killing 47 people, residents said. Earlier on Saturday, two bombs killed about 50 people in a densely populated area of Maiduguri - a city which Boko Haram has often targeted. Borno state senator Ali Ndume told BBC Hausa that about 20 people, many of them elderly, were killed when the army launched an air raid on Daglun village on Friday night. However, the defence ministry denied the allegation. "The reports are believed to be part of the design by those bent on discrediting the counter-terrorist mission," its spokesman Chris Olukoladehe is quoted by the AFP news agency as saying. He said government forces had killed a number of Boko Haram fighters in an operation on Sunday evening, including those believed to have killed at least 29 people in an attack on a rural boarding school in Yobe state more than a week ago. Boko Haram members suspected to have been involved in the bombings in Maiduguri have also been arrested, Mr Olukoladehe said, AFP reports. Both the Nigerian army and Boko Haram have repeatedly been accused by rights groups of committing atrocities during the conflict in the region. With 300,000 bricks required to complete the project, the 200,000th piece was added by South Korean student Chang Soo Lee. In honour of the occasion, he was awarded a commemorative medal. The project was launched in July 2013, with people invited to donate £1 for each brick Chang Soo Lee, who was visiting the cathedral with fellow classmates as part of a international collaborative venture organised by Northumbria University, said he was really surprised to discover his brick was so significant. "I think the Lego cathedral is awesome," he said. "It's great to be involved in such a great project, and I can't wait to see the finished model." All donations will go towards Open Treasure, a project to improve public access to some of the collections the cathedral has acquired over the centuries. Durham Cathedral's head of development, Gaye Kirby, said: "With only 100,000 bricks left to build, we invite everyone to help us complete the model and celebrate the opening of the cathedral's new exhibition spaces later this year." The competed model will be 12ft 6in (3.84m) long, 5ft (1.53m) wide and 5ft 6in (1.7m) high. The rate of children starting school in danger of becoming obese was 7% in the most affluent areas, but nearly double that at 13% for the least wealthy. Overall, NHS Health Scotland said that 29% of women and 28% of men aged 18-64 in Scotland were obese. The level of obesity among Scots has remained largely stable since 2008. The research, which used the most recent figures from 2015-16, found that adults living in the least-deprived areas of Scotland had the lowest obesity levels. However, people living in Scotland's most-deprived communities were more likely to be obese, according to the research. For men, those in all other areas were broadly similar, but for women obesity became progressively more common as the deprivation level increased. The proportion of overweight women in Scotland almost doubled over 20 years - from 31% in 1995 to 60% in 2015, the report found. In the same period, the level of overweight men jumped to 66%. The report concluded that "actions to reduce the 'obesogenic' environment were urgently needed if the long term health, social and inequality consequences of obesity were to be reduced." Researchers recommend a similar approach to tackling Scotland's alcohol problem by focusing simultaneously on both the most severe cases and population as a whole. Elaine Tod, who helped author the report, said: "Obesity used to be more common amongst the richer in society as it was only those who could afford to eat well who became obese. "This trend has reversed and we now see higher rates of obesity in those who are less well-off. "The reasons for this are complex and multi-factorial, including the affordability and availability of high-fat, high-sugar food in comparison with healthy food and the increasing popularity of more sedentary pastimes. "What is clear is that action, including structural change at a societal level that does not require individuals to 'opt-in', is needed to achieve both a population-wide decrease in obesity in Scotland and to prevent health inequalities associated with obesity widening further." Lorraine Tulloch, programme lead at Obesity Action Scotland, said: "This report clearly outlines that the most-deprived in our society are suffering the greatest burden of obesity. "It also highlights that by focusing on [the] actions [that] individuals can take, only worsens the inequalities gap. "If we want to ensure we tackle the gap, we need to see bold, ambitious action to change the food environment around us to ensure the healthy choice is the easy choice for everyone." Heather Peace, head of nutrition science and policy at Food Standards Scotland, added: "This report adds to the mounting body of evidence showing that little progress has been made towards improving the Scottish diet for the last 20 years. "There is an urgent need for us all to take action - government, industry, the media and individuals all have a part to play." The research was published in the International Journal for Equity in Health. Bill Esterson, Sefton Central MP, said one in 100 babies born every year in the UK were harmed by alcohol drunk during pregnancy. He said current guidance was contradictory, which was causing confusion among many pregnant women. The MP said expectant mothers should not drink "at all" to avoid any potential harm to their unborn child. He said the effect on a child could range from reduced intellectual ability and behavioural problems, to heart problems and premature death. The chief medical officer for England is currently reviewing alcohol guidelines, but Mr Esterson said this "appears to be taking a very long time". He said current labelling on alcoholic drinks was "inadequate as well as not being universal" and proposed a mandatory system of "clear and persistent" labels to warn expectant mothers to avoid alcohol. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has said "current scientific opinion points to there being no hard evidence that very small amounts of alcohol consumption during pregnancy are harmful". Introducing his bill in the House of Commons, Mr Esterson it was known heavy drinking during pregnancy increased the risk of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, but there was "a lack of consensus" on the potential effects caused by a small amount of alcohol. "Much scientific evidence suggests that there is no safe limit when it comes to drinking in pregnancy but sadly not everyone is aware of the dangers," he told MPs, and warned that small amounts of alcohol could cause "mild brain damage" in an unborn child. England's Chief Medical Officer advises that women who are pregnant or trying to conceive "should avoid drinking alcohol altogether" but, if they choose to drink, should consume "no more than one or two units once or twice a week", nor get drunk. But Mr Esterson raised concerns about the "apparent contradiction and advice given by the chief medical officer". He said: "Now not everyone whose mother drinks during pregnancy suffers damage that affects their life chances and this is certainly not an attack on women. "But the damage done by alcohol to too many children shows the need for action and shows that too many of us do not understand the potential risks of drinking alcohol at any point during pregnancy." His bill, he explained, would avoid "confusing or conflicting advice, whether from government or elsewhere" and introducing mandatory "clear" labelling "that cannot be easily missed and that gives the best advice". "That advice must be not to drink at all while pregnant or trying to conceive. Such a system of labelling should be designed to help cut the number of children damaged at great cost to themselves and to society," he added. However, the Labour MP also counselled that better labelling was "only part of the answer", and stressed the benefits of education. Citing Canada as an example, he told MPs children as young as four are taught about the harmful impact alcohol can have on unborn babies, and that posters about Foetal Alcohol Syndrome are displayed in shops, train and airports and surgeries. Mr Esterson called on the drinks industry to make changes to their labels without legislation, and urged the government to update its guidance. His bill received an unopposed first reading - allowing it to proceed to the next stage - and is scheduled to be debated by MPs on 6 March 2014. However, it is unlikely to become law due to lack of parliamentary time. Rescue workers are searching for other people feared trapped in the debris. The landslide hit a camp housing construction workers in Tawang district, a tourist spot in the state, early on Friday. Landslides are common in parts of India but usually occur during the monsoon rains from June to September. The workers, who were building a hotel, were asleep when the landslide hit their camp in Tawang district, located at an altitude of more than 3,000m (9,800ft). "Three labourers survived and have received minor injuries. A total of 20 workers were at the spot when the massive landslide struck the construction site," Anto Alphonse, superintendent of police for Tawang, told AFP news agency. There have been heavy rains in the Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradesh, which lies on the Tibetan border and is claimed in part by China. Caroline Weir gave the hosts a third-minute lead with a long-range shot that was fumbled by England goalkeeper Carly Telford. Notts responded, edging possession and creating some steady pressure. But Liverpool made it 2-0 when Natasha Harding curled in a fine shot, and they held on for victory after the break. The draw for the semi-finals will take place live on BBC Radio 5 Live at 14:45 BST on Monday, 27 March. In a statement, the club said it was "deeply shocked and saddened". The cause of death has not been given. Born and educated in Eastbourne, seam bowler Hobden made his first-class debut in 2014 and represented Sussex in all formats of the game. England's lead fast bowling coach Kevin Shine said: "His potential was huge. He was improving rapidly and I'm certain that he would have played for England." England's players are wearing black armbands on day two of the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town on Sunday as a mark of respect for Hobden, who made his final appearance in a one-day match against Essex last August. He took 23 wickets at an average of 47.30 in 10 County Championship Division One games last season. A Sussex statement read: "Matthew was an exciting young cricketer with a big future ahead of him in the game. "He was a fantastic individual who had progressed through Sussex's youth and academy ranks, having been born locally in Eastbourne. "Sussex would like to offer their deepest condolences to Matthew's family and friends at this difficult time." Angus Porter, chief executive of the Professional Cricketers' Association, said: "Matt was a young seamer with immense potential. "The PCA will work closely with Sussex to ensure that their players and coaching staff are supported during this difficult period for the club." Former England and Sussex wicketkeeper-batsman Matt Prior wrote on Twitter: "One of those days when you get a call that puts perspective on things. Live life and love everyday as much as you can! So sad! #RIPhobsy" The England and Wales Cricket Board said it was "shocked and saddened" by the news. A right-arm bowler, Hobden was selected for the Potential England Performance Programme for the past two winters. "As a player, I remember the first time I saw him just thinking 'wow'," added Shine. "He was the strongest, most powerful cricketer I've ever seen on that programme. "He contributed to the group as much as I've ever seen a player contribute. All the lads, and the staff, loved him." Media playback is not supported on this device The 45-year-old won the PDC World Darts Championship for the second year running on Sunday, beating former champion Adrian Lewis in the final. "I think there's no doubt there is at least one, maybe another couple, of world championships in him," Gilmour told BBC Scotland. "The fearful thing is there are so many great players coming about." One of them, 26-year-old Dutchman Michael van Gerwen, who won the world title in 2014, remains number one in the rankings. "Gary is the double world champion, but the way the world rankings go, it is a wee bit like the golf," explained Gilmour. "The achievement he has had over the last 18 months - he has won two world championships, he has won the Premier league, he has won the Players' Championship - that makes him as good as what is going about at the minute. "I would say he is the number one player in the world, but he is still £100,000 in prize money behind Michael van Gerwen, but we'll get there in the next couple of months." Anderson had played down his win over Lewis, mocking himself for playing average darts in a final, for miscounting at times in the heat of the battle and pointing out faltering eyesight that has led him to consider wearing glasses. However, Gilmour said that was simply a reflection of his fellow Scot's modest character. "The sweat was dripping off Adrian throughout the match, but you could see that Gary had it under control," said his manager. "I just wish he had stuck in at his maths a wee bit more. He just had that miscalculation." Gilmour ranks Anderson's achievement as his own career high as a manager along with the first of his seven boxing world champions - Pat Clinton. "To be Scottish, be champion of the world and beat an Englishman, that was great," added Anderson's manager. "There's so many magnificent players now and so many young strong boys coming through. "To retain it - Gary is only the third person to have done that. "To gain revenge over Adrian for the 2011 final and by the exact same score was brilliant." On Tuesday, it announced 220 job losses among its UK financial advisers. It comes a month after RBS announced pre-tax losses of £1.98bn in 2015 - the eighth year in a row that the bank has made a loss. Three hundred roles will be relocated to the bank's operations in India, the BBC understands. In a statement, the bank said: "As part of RBS's drive to be a stronger, simpler and fairer bank, we have been restructuring our Corporate & Institutional Bank, as well as reducing its size, to focus on our core customers and products. "As this process continues, our frontline staff need a simpler, clearer, more efficient relationship with our middle and back office functions to better serve customers, so we're reshaping our services business accordingly. "Unfortunately the changes will result in some job losses. We realise how difficult this news is for our staff and we are working to support those affected. We will redeploy staff into new roles wherever possible." On Tuesday, RBS said it was cutting the jobs of 220 face-to-face financial advisers in the UK, as it switches customers to an automated online service. It said personalised advice would now only be offered to customers with more than £250,000 to invest. The Plymouth-based Lithuanian, 18, suffered the injury on Friday and had the operation on Monday. "It's going to be a four-week process before she's back in the water doing regular-type swimming," her coach Jon Rudd told BBC Sport. "It's not too desperate at all with us being well over 40 weeks away from the Olympic Games." Meilutyte burst onto the scene at London 2012, winning 100m breaststroke gold at the age of 15 then claiming World Championship gold the following year. She took silver at the 2015 World Championships in Kazan and is the world record holder at 50m and 100m breaststroke. Media playback is not supported on this device "It's not ideal, but the good news is it's happened at the beginning of the season," Rudd added. "We'd already started work for the Olympics much earlier than we would for any regular season. "We'd been on a training camp for 10 days in Lanzarote before we came back to Plymouth and she was back in training for two or three days here as well before the accident happened. "So we had two weeks in the bank that we wouldn't normally have. "The most important thing is to get things right for the summer, and I'm confident by the time we get to July, September will be a very distant memory and we'll be where we think we should be." Scottish Water said it had been notified "about an earthy/musty taste or odour in the water" in the Stewarton, Dunlop and Lugton areas. It said tests had shown the water was safe to use but work was being done to flush the system. People on social media had described the local water as tasting like "dirt" a "brick" and "rotten vegetables". Scottish Water said: "Scottish Water has received a small number of contacts from customers about an earthy/musty taste or odour in the water supply in the Stewarton, Dunlop and Lugton area. "Monitoring of water supplies from the Corsehouse Water Treatment Works, which serves the area, and one of the source reservoirs has shown that the earthy/musty taste or odour is due to harmless naturally-occurring by-products of algae or micro-organisms in the raw water sources. "The water has been rigorously tested in our laboratories and we can confirm that it is safe to use as normal and does not pose a risk to public health." Scottish Water said that although the water was safe to use, some customers might not wish to use it. It added: "We are working to flush the water network and ensure that this taste or odour is removed as quickly as possible." David Ellam, 52, died on Monday after being attacked by the animal in the Sheepridge area of Huddersfield. The force seized the dog from its owner in June on suspicion it was a banned pit bull breed. It was returned on 8 August. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) will investigate. Live updates on this story and more from West Yorkshire IPCC Commissioner Derrick Campbell said: "The death of Mr Ellam was a tragic incident and my sympathies go to his family. "Our independent investigation will look closely at police actions prior to Mr Ellam's death, including the decision-making around the removal, testing and return of the dog. "A criminal investigation into Mr Ellam's death is being carried out by West Yorkshire Police." West Yorkshire police said it was believed Mr Ellam was trying to protect his own Yorkshire Terrier when the larger dog turned on him. A 29-year-old, thought to be the dog's owner, was arrested in connection with the incident and later released on police bail. The force said the dog had been taken to kennels where it will remain throughout its investigation into Mr Ellam's death. Replicas of the two lions have been painted as part of the bank's "Celebrate Pride, Celebrate Unity" campaign for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) rights. It's a sight that might not be considered controversial in many cities - but in Hong Kong it has reignited debate about gay rights and whether corporations should get involved. Many people have expressed support for the campaign - and have been posing for selfies with the lions. But it has also angered several campaign groups, who have started a petition against the lions. Organisers say more than 4,500 people have signed the petition. Although Hong Kong is an international city, it is divided when it comes to social issues like LGBT rights. In a 2011 survey, 22% of respondents said they were "not accepting" of lesbian, gay and transgender individuals, and a further 21% said they felt ambivalent or unsure. A quarter of respondents also felt it was "acceptable" or "sometimes acceptable" to not offer a job to an LGBT individual. The two HSBC lions are well-known in Hong Kong - and appear on many of the territory's bank notes. Ahead of the rainbow versions being unveiled, HSBC Group general manager Kevin Martin said: "Understanding and embracing everyone's unique perspectives, beliefs and experiences is core to HSBC's values. This campaign demonstrates our commitment to achieving a truly open and diverse working environment." But several groups, including the Family Schools Sodo Concern Group, Parents for the Family Association, and Overturning LGBT Agenda, have issued a joint statement, accusing HSBC of "trampling on the existing family values of Hong Kong". Roger Wong, from the Family Schools Sodo Concern Group, told the BBC: "The lions are an icon of Hong Kong. A lot of Hong Kongers have a certain affection for them - and it's not right that they are projecting meanings on to them, that a lot of people may disagree with. "The male lions represent the stability and power of the bank. By adding a rainbow on the lions - does that mean they're homosexual? I find that objectionable - and they don't look that aesthetically good either." The groups say they are also unhappy with other pro-LGBT policies of HSBC - saying the policies are "not fair to the shareholders because it essentially forces every shareholder to endorse the homosexual lifestyle". No. On social media, many people have been vocal about their support for the campaign. On HSBC's Facebook page, one user wrote "support HSBC for their stand for diversity", while another lauded the "beautiful colours and beautiful frame of mind". And nearly 7,000 people took part in a pride parade last month, marching in support of the LGBT community. There is also growing support for anti-discrimination laws for LGBT people. In a recent survey, more than half of respondents said they would support such legislation - nearly double the figure from a decade ago. And young people were especially supportive - with 91% of those aged 18-24 supporting anti-discrimination legislation. Rights activists have been critical of the fact that Hong Kong has laws prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of gender, disability, race and family status, but not sexual orientation. They argue that Hong Kong lags behind many Western countries, which have similar attitudes towards LGBT rights but better legal protections. Many LGBT people say they experience discrimination - with Hong Kong's first openly gay legislator, Chan Chi-chuen, also being subjected to verbal abuse on public transport. Wong Ka Ying, a local artist who is a lesbian, says a lot of her LGBT friends have to hide their orientation for fear of losing their jobs. "I'm really lucky because, as an artist, I don't have peers, colleagues or office politics," she says. "But a lot of my friends in professional industries can't come out." Without laws against LGBT discrimination, "you don't know where to report it… so you have to hide your sexuality, and not talk about it to protect yourself", she says. Ms Wong says she was subjected to online attacks after she revealed she was a lesbian on a reality TV show, and argues it is because of a lack of education about LGBT issues. "In Chinese culture, people tend not to put 'embarrassing' subjects on the table… it's a social norm that keeps discussion of LGBT rights, and same-sex marriage, under the table," she says. LW, a lawyer who asked not to be identified, says he considered LGBT discrimination to be "pretty serious in Hong Kong". "Though I think things are changing with the younger generation, discrimination is still quite rampant for the older generation - I am 'out' to my younger colleagues at work but not to my boss." The Hong Kong government has published anti-LGBT discrimination adverts - but has stopped short of implementing anti-discrimination legislation so far. Some pro-family or religious groups have argued that an anti-discrimination law could infringe on people's religious freedoms. "I know where she went. It's disgusting," he said to supporters at a rally in Michigan. The former secretary of state returned to the stage late after an advert break during Saturday's debate with her party rivals for the presidential nomination. Mr Trump also said Mrs Clinton had been "schlonged" by Barack Obama in 2008. Using a vulgar Yiddish term that means a man's penis, he was referring to Mrs Clinton's defeat to the then senator in the primary contests that year. "Even her race to Obama. She was going to beat Obama. I don't know who'd be worse. I don't know. How does it get worse? "She was favoured to win and she got schlonged, she lost." Mrs Clinton's spokeswoman, Jennifer Palmieri, tweeted: "We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should. #imwithher" It is not the first time Mr Trump has referred to women in a controversial way. In August, he implied that he received tough questions from Fox News debate host Megyn Kelly because she was menstruating. And he has previously described comedian Rosie O'Donnell as a "fat pig". Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump have been feuding in recent days over claims she made that Islamic State militants were using Mr Trump as a recruiting tool. He has called for Muslims to be banned from entering the US, in light of a deadly terror attack in California carried out by a radicalised Muslim couple. Mr Trump, a billionaire property tycoon with no political experience, leads the polls nationally among Republican voters, and is also ahead in some key states. The primary contests begin at the start of February and the presidential election is in November. Could Trump actually win? - he's ahead in the polls but is that enough? 22 things that Trump believes - Muslims, Mexicans and Putin Is Trump a Democratic secret agent? - the conspiracy theories that he's a Republican wrecking ball The true cost of his deportation plan - Trump wants to kick out every undocumented migrant, but how? Police Scotland said an emergency call was made just before 14:00 reporting that the plane had lost radar contact over Glen Kinglass near Loch Etive. Oban lifeboat was called out, but later stood down after searching the loch. The plane was believed to have been travelling from central Scotland to Tiree when it was reported to have dived. The 21-year-old, who can play a variety of positions, has passed a medical and will join his new Ibrox team-mates. "What attracted me was the history of the club, the size of the club and mainly, the supporters," Dalcio told Rangers TV. "The gaffer [Pedro Caixinha] was a real influence on me too. I know he is really competitive and ambitious." Caixinha has already added 35-year-old defender Bruno Alves and former Aberdeen captain Ryan Jack to his squad, while Mexican midfielder Carlos Pena arrived in Glasgow last week for talks. Dalcio becomes Caixinha's third summer signing as the Rangers manager looks to bolster his squad ahead of their Europa League campaign on 29 June. "The manager has said he is here to help me and to improve me. On the club, we need to put it on top where it belongs," Dalcio added. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Uefa's executive committee has also recognised supporters from Wales and Iceland. Each association will receive a commemorative plaque. Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland fans previously received an award from the mayor of Paris for their "exemplary sportsmanship" at Euro 2016. Newly elected Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said the association wanted to reward "some of the groups of supporters that were particularly enthusiastic and passionate during the tournament". Thousands of fans from Northern Ireland and the Republic attended the Euro 2016 finals in France, with both teams reaching the knockout stages. Many of the 13 November jihadists had a Belgian background. Nadine Ribet-Reinhart believes the authorities there should have done far more to act against them. "This is called inaction, and in the wake of such inaction are decimated families and children who will never be born," she said. Anti-corruption lawyer Valentin Ribet, 26, was one of 130 people murdered in the series of co-ordinated attacks carried out by Islamists. His girlfriend Eva was also shot but survived. Who were the victims of the 13 November atrocities in Paris? Paris attacks hideouts found in Belgium Paris attack linked in Morocco arrest Who were the Paris attackers? Much of the planning for the attacks is thought to have taken place in Belgium and authorities there said last week they had identified three hideouts used by the Paris attackers in the hours before they travelled to France on 13 November. Many of the militants had Belgian-Moroccan backgrounds and were linked to the Molenbeek area of Brussels. Suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud grew up in the district and French officials say he was linked to four foiled attacks, including the Thalys train attack in northern France last August. "Everybody now knows the name of Molenbeek," Ms Ribet-Reinhart told BFM-TV. "What did the state of Belgium do beforehand? Trials in absentia? Parades of suspects?" "They could and should have stopped 10 terrorists being present with complete impunity on French territory that night; people who travelled around at will on the metro and in their cars with their mobile phones." What sort of action the victims' families could take is unclear. Belgian lawyer Johan Platteau told Belgian radio on Tuesday that the state could be held responsible, but there would have to be concrete evidence of negligence, in the form of proof that it had information and failed to act on it. The mother would have to provide the evidence, he added. Ms Ribet-Reinhart said she planned to take action against Belgium for the sake of justice and for her son. "We, with his family and (her son's fiancee) Eva, will provide the means and go as far as it takes." Other Belgians named as attackers include Chakib Akrouh, who was killed with Abaaoud in a Paris police raid in Seine Saint-Denis, and Brahim Abdeslam, who blew himself up after the gun attacks on bars and restaurants. Stade de France bomber Bilal Hadfi came from France but had been living in the Brussels area. Brahim Abdeslam's brother Saleh was able to return to Belgium after the attacks and is still on the run. For several days last November, Brussels was put on high terror alert amid fears of Paris-style attacks. Another Belgian of Moroccan descent was arrested in Morocco last Friday. Gelel Attar is said to have lived in Molenbeek and had direct links with Abaaoud and Akrouh. Like many of the suspects linked to Belgium he is said to have joined jihadist rebels in Syria. Tens of thousands of white storks nest in its flatlands each summer, before heading south to warmer climes. Such are the numbers, that, as one local guide quips, it can be said that one in four storks worldwide is Polish. But in recent years, this area has gained renown for another form of migration - the exodus of its working-age population. More than any other area in Poland, Podlaskie's residents have taken advantage of the freedom to live and work in other EU countries - particularly the UK. In some towns, more than one in 10 has left, mostly young people - leaving none but the elderly behind. "There used to be two cinemas, but they both closed," says Kasia, one of the remaining residents of Monki, a virtual ghost town with the distinction of having seen the highest number of its citizens depart to richer EU economies. "And there are just two concerts a year," she adds. "Everyone is going, everyone is leaving," one of the owners of a faded electrical store in the centre of town, unchanged for decades, laments. "Only the disabled people stay - all the villages are empty." Such is the suspicion of foreign influence, that the woman, who is in her 60s, won't give her name to the BBC. But on the topic of migration, she is loquacious. "The tragedy of small towns is that old people can't follow the trend of globalisation and make the most of new technology. And the young people decide to leave to get by in the big towns and work for big corporations." Despite it being a regular weekday, few customers are to be seen - the only life visible in the town centre are a scattering of older women, sitting on stoops and smoking idly. The electrical store shopkeeper blames this scene on Poland's accession to the EU in 2004. "Things have changed a lot - it's like a desert. You drive through these villages and there's nobody here. They go abroad and make money and they leave these places empty." Despite such local hardships, there is little argument that Poland has been a net beneficiary of its membership of the European Union. It helped transform the country from a post-Soviet society to a robust, modern economy, so resilient that it became the only EU state not to plunge into recession following the 2008 financial crisis. This, coupled with the fact that its economic value, or gross domestic product, doubled in just over two decades, had led to Poland being dubbed the "miracle economy". With close to a million Poles living and working in the UK, and sending back more than a billion euros each year, many in the country were hoping that Britain would vote to remain a member of the EU. But now that the divorce is under way, some see an opportunity. "At the moment Poland has a demographic problem," says Dr Przemyslaw Biskup, a European integration expert at the University of Warsaw. "It is not that bad that we would have our compatriots returning - our labour market is becoming more and more hungry for employees. Such people would bring new experience, new skills and new qualifications back to Poland." Indeed, a recent report by the IMF concluded that large-scale emigration may have slowed growth in Central and Eastern European countries. Not that Brexit necessarily means Poles will be returning in their droves. Many of those who settled in the UK are now permanent residents, or on the path to citizenship. More and more, they tend to bring their families to Britain, rather than return to Central Europe. But there is some evidence of "returnees" - even in an area with as few economic opportunities as Podlaskie. On the main square of the remote historic town of Tykocin, local boy Kamil Swietorzecki runs a cafe and gallery, catering to the many tourists who visit the nearby 17th Century synagogue or 600-year-old castle. "I went to Liverpool when I was 21 and worked in kitchens and various places," he says, pausing while brewing some strong Polish coffee. "The aim was to make money and open a company back here." Stories like Kamil's are still an anomaly, however. Freedom of movement is vital to many Poles, particularly those who survive on the remittances sent back home from those working in Britain. Which is why Jakub Wojnarowski, deputy director general of the Polish business organisation Lewiatan, thinks Poland will insist on open borders in any trade negotiations with the newly independent UK. "There will be no concession," he says. The Polish government, Mr Wojnarowski predicts, "will not be trading freedom of movement for access to the common market" even if it ends up hurting some of the 4,000 companies Lewiatan represents. The powers that be will have to listen to the "voice of the ordinary people," whose wives, sons and daughters are working in the UK, he believes. "They will say, 'We want to keep this alive.'" Back in Tykocin, cafe owner and returnee Kamil, who still has family in the UK, hopes that Brexit will not lead to a raising of the drawbridge between the two countries. But if it does, he is not too concerned for his compatriots. "It is mostly a tragedy for those who are already there," he says, but adds that for those Poles looking for work elsewhere there is always the rest of the EU. Star Plus is a popular television channel from India. Another message says: "What a country! Even Osama is not safe here." These messages are a reflection of the growing frustration among Pakistanis over Monday's raid in which a team of US Navy Seals flew by helicopter from Afghanistan to a compound in the northern town of Abbottabad, killed Osama Bin Laden and then whisked away his body. For the first time in decades, the powerful Pakistani military establishment has failed to find an excuse to pin the blame on the "bloody civilians" who now control political power. The army is not only suspected of having sheltered Bin Laden, it is also under fire for having failed to detect the raid. So while few people in Pakistan are really in love with the civilian government, everybody knows that this time an explanation must come from the military. The military took three days to issue a response, and the most prominent part of its statement from the Pakistani point of view is the admission that it did not know about the raid. There are few takers for its contention that it also did not know about Bin Laden's presence in Abbottabad. The raid, and the army's admission, have given rise to a flurry of questions. "Why do we spend more than $6bn (£3.65bn) annually on the army when it can't do its job," says Mohammad Ruum, a resident of Swat. Mr Ruum's view reflects comments normally not heard on Pakistani television channels. Pakistani media, though extremely critical of the civilian government, have traditionally steered clear of controversies surrounding the powerful security establishment. Many even blame them of complicity with the military to destabilise the country's nascent democracy. The military's role was first questioned in March in the aftermath of the release of Raymond Davis. A CIA contractor, Mr Davis was acquitted by a Pakistani court after paying blood money to the relatives of two men he had killed in the city of Lahore. While the civilian government made a few meek noises that Mr Davis enjoyed diplomatic immunity, the general impression was that his continued detention was due to the army's intervention. To many, his release came as a shock, and as evidence that even the military had bowed to American wishes. Bin Laden's death has put the icing on the cake. I spoke to a number of people to find out who they blamed for the security lapse on Monday, and why. One ex-army officer in Islamabad said the fault lay with the civilian authorities. "They are the ones who issue orders; the army only obeys. They are the ones who were caught sleeping," he said. Others, while equally disillusioned with the civilian government, said detecting the raid and countering it was the military's job. "This is what they are paid for, to defend the borders, not to run bakeries and banks and real-estate empires," says Nasir Khan, a resident of the north-western town of Nowshera. Many people in Pakistan suspect a link between the military and the Islamist militant groups operating in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Those who live in areas overrun by Taliban militants over the last few years are sure there is such a link, though they may not have a tangible proof. "In Swat, there was a time when we saw the army and the Taliban running their respective checkpoints literally yards away from each other," says Abdur Rab, a resident of Mingora. "People used to say, where there is army, there would be Taliban." In the north-western tribal region, people have seen Taliban militants setting up bases close to military installations. In 2005, when I was working for a local monthly magazine, Herald, we sent a reporter from Peshawar to cover a drone strike on a militant training camp in North Waziristan - a rare occurrence back then. He came back with a picture that showed the destroyed camp at the foot of a small hill. At the top of the hill was an outpost of the paramilitary Frontier Corps. Last year, local people in the Kurram tribal region led me to the remains of the Taliban's main command-and-control centre at a village called Bugzai, which tribesmen had overrun and destroyed. For years prior to its destruction, Bugzai served as the permanent base of militant leader, Hakimullah Mehsud. It was from there that he ordered the continuing blockade of the main Kurram road. Bugzai was barely 1km (0.62 miles) down the hill from the main Frontier Corps base, inside a British-era fort, which was responsible for security in the lower Kurram valley. Few of these people are surprised that Bin Laden was found in a military cantonment, not far from Pakistan's top military academy, in Abbottabad. These feelings are now gaining currency in other segments of the population, who are equally shocked that the Americans had found Bin Laden right under the nose of the military and defied Pakistan's seemingly impregnable defences to whisk him away. There is no sense of loss or bereavement - few among the teeming Pakistani masses loved Bin Laden. The feeling is one of humiliation. Most people dislike the US, and they feel their own army has let them down. Norman Campbell put the favourites ahead after 26 minutes at Bught Park in Inverness but Zands Ferguson brought the underdogs level five minutes later. As the game entered the sixth minute of injury time, MacKintosh, who had twice hit the woodwork, pounced to win it. It was Newtonmore's first MacTavish Cup win since 2012, and their 40th overall. Lochaber started well but Newtonmore soon began to assert themselves with a number of goal attempts, while at the other end Stuart Callison shot over for the underdogs. Campbell, still wearing a heavy knee support after recent surgery, grabbed the opener as the full forward glided through the defence from left of centre to drill home from 20 yards. But Newtonmore's advantage was short lived as Ferguson cracked in the equaliser at head height. The game then developed into long periods of pressure from Newtonmore, camped in their opponents' half but failing to hit the target, punctuated by dangerous counter-attacks from Lochaber. As the favourites' frustration grew, their frequent goal attempts became increasingly desperate, MacKintosh hitting the woodwork on the hour. Three injuries meant extended stoppage time which had just begun when MacKintosh hit the bar again. But with extra time looking inevitable, he finally squeezed the ball into the net past the right post to bring the Badenoch side the trophy - and the North area title - for the first time since 2012. Elsewhere, Kinlochshiel swamped Caberfeidh 6-0 to reach the last eight of the Camanachd Cup, with two goals from Keith MacRae, two including a penalty from his brother John and further strikes from Duncan Ach and Jordan Fraser. Oban Camanachd edged Kyles 1-0 via Daniel Cameron's winner to move third in the Marine Harvest Premiership, where Lovat compounded Glenurquhart's misery with a 5-2 scoreline. The game at Drumnadrochit was held up for 40 minutes after Lovat's Craig Mainland broke a shoulder. But Kevin Bartlett and Calum MacAulay both scored twice as Lovat deepened the relegation worries of their local rivals. Lewis Montgomery's extra-time winner put Inveraray through to the south semi final of the Artemis MacAulay Cup with a 3-2 victory over Bute, while four players scored twice apiece as Glasgow Mid Argyll swept Ballachulish aside 8-0 in the first round at Yoker. The Rail Accident Investigation Bureau (RAIB) said initial indications showed passengers were "ejected or partially ejected" from the tram. It added the brake was applied two and a half seconds before the crash, suggesting the driver "lost awareness". A total of 70 passengers were on board in November, rather than 60 as originally believed, it showed. The report found the tram was travelling at 46mph - faster then the 43.5mph initially thought - before it crashed in a 13mph zone near the Sandilands Junction area of Croydon. The RAIB's second interim report said: "Of the seven passengers who died, one was found inside the tram; two were found partially inside the tram; three were found underneath the tram; and another was found on the track close to the tram." The brake would have had to have been applied as the tram entered the last of three tunnels approximately 180 metres ahead of the junction, which was a left turn, in order to slow sufficiently to 13mph, the report indicated. But the RAIB said the late application of the brake and the "absence of emergency braking" suggested tram driver, Alfred Dorris - the only member of staff on board - had "lost awareness" that he was approaching the 13mph zone. The seven people killed were Dane Chinnery, 19, Philip Logan, 52, Philip Seary, 57, Dorota Rynkiewicz, 35, and Robert Huxley, 63, all from New Addington, and Mark Smith, 35 and Donald Collett, 62, both of Croydon. A further 51 people were taken to hospital, with eight of them suffering injuries described by London Ambulance Service as serious or life-threatening. London's Transport Commissioner Mike Brown, said Transport for London's (TfL) thoughts remained with "all those affected by the tragic tram derailment". He added TfL continued to "do all we can to offer our support". TfL added in January it installed chevron signs at four sites with significant bends including Sandilands to provide an additional visual cue for drivers.

Media playback is not supported on this device The team, bidding to become the first British crew to win the America's Cup, earn two points for the next phase, the qualifying series in May and June. The winners of that will face Oracle Team USA in the main event, the 2017 America's Cup later in June. Find out how to get into sailing with our special guide. Ainslie's team won after a tie-break in the regatta in Japan by virtue of a better result in the last race. Land Rover BAR finished the series with 512 points, 19 ahead of Oracle Team USA, the two-time defending America's Cup champions, in second place. Emirates Team New Zealand, who lost an 8-1 lead to Oracle in the 2013 America's Cup, finished third overall with 493 points. Ainslie, the most successful sailor in Olympic history, is attempting to end Britain's long wait to bring the America's Cup back to the UK, where the oldest trophy in international sport was first contested in 1851. "It's a massive day for us, proving we can win at the top end. It's a big step towards the America's Cup next year in Bermuda," said Ainslie, who was part of the winning Oracle team three years ago. "We are under no illusions over just how tough it is. We hope to have the fastest boat next year." Land Rover BAR held a one-point advantage after the first day of the Fukuoka regatta but Artemis Racing of Sweden won the first two races on Sunday. Ainslie's crew needed to finish ahead of the Swedes in the last race of the day to clinch the title and came in third, with Artemis one place further back.

Sir Ben Ainslie's Land Rover BAR team won the America's Cup World Series with a narrow Fukuoka regatta victory.

The fight started slowly but came to life and ended in brutal fashion as both slugged it out until the end. Groves, 23, was wobbled in the third and was cut badly in the 11th but boxed stylishly throughout to earn victory. Unbeaten Groves earned a majority decision, one judge scoring it 115-115 while the other two had it at 115-114. In contrast to the explosive build-up to the fight, the first round at the O2 Arena was cagey and tense with DeGale, who was booed on his way into the ring, shading it by landing the only scoring shots and ending with a sharp left jab. Whether it was respect or more likely nerves, neither boxer seemed to settle in the opening minute of the second round with both throwing just single shots. But Groves improved as the round wore on and landed a decent right on the bell. The fencing and feinting continued into the third before DeGale landed a right hook to the top of the head of Groves, who responded with one of his own while also later throwing two jabs that found the target. It was a fascinating start to the contest which Groves had just about shaded but he appeared marked below the right eye. Groves continued to impress with two-punch combinations and seemed to be in control of the fourth round but a solid left hook in the final minute wobbled him and DeGale unleashed a cluster of punches to finish on top. DeGale took a strong right hand at the start of the fifth and Groves' footwork was proving frustrating for his opponent who chased but could not catch his rival. Groves then landed a further right that appeared to hurt the tense-looking Olympic gold medallist. It was another quiet start to the sixth that drew boos from the 19,000 crowd, and that seemed to spur on DeGale who landed a big left that hurt Groves. DeGale followed that up with another left as he tried to assert himself and he continued on the front foot, landing a quality straight left on the bell. DeGale began the seventh round confidently as Groves' defence continued to drop lower but he still managed to land a clubbing left. DeGale responded with a left of his own with his punches seeming to hold more power and the round ended with a left uppercut from the British champion. A straight left from DeGale rocked Groves and sparked the Commonwealth champion into life but despite boxing much of the eighth round on the front foot he failed to land a meaningful punch. Groves boxed behind his jab in the ninth, inviting DeGale to box on the front foot. There was a flurry of punches and after a clash of head a cut opened up above the left eye of Groves. The final minute of the ninth round was the most entertaining of the fight with both boxers opening up as DeGale rocked his opponent with 30 seconds to go and then, just before the bell, had him wobbling with a huge left, which had Groves desperately holding on. Groves still appeared dazed at the start of the 10th but found success with his jab, although his punches appeared to lack spite with DeGale looking the more dangerous fighter. In the final minute of the round they again trade punches, with Groves taking a big right hook to the side of the head, and both boxers went to their stools with bloodied faces following a brutal exchange. With two rounds to go the fight was in the balance, and another clash of heads resulted in a huge cut opening up on the forehead of Groves which attracted a lot of attention from the referee. Perhaps sensing the fight could be stopped, Groves opened up and DeGale showed great skill in picking off his opponent who looked desperate and battered. But Groves battled on despite cuts on his forehead, left eye and right cheekbone and DeGale hurt his opponent again with a left but they again traded and landed in a contest that was turning into a classic. Going into the final round DeGale looked the fresher, but Groves landed more scoring punches, with both boxers knowing they needed a big performance to secure victory. DeGale landed a right but his momentum was checked by a big right uppercut from Groves. However, it was the British champion who ended the fight on top, opening up against a tiring Groves and they slugged it out right until the final bell. The decision was contentious with Groves earning his 13th straight victory while DeGale, who disputed the decision, suffered his first defeat in 11 professional fights. Groves, who also beat his opponent as an amateur, was content to prove the doubters wrong and claimed he would be willing to fight DeGale again. "Everyone was raving about him. Only two favoured me in a boxing news poll, but I have self belief," he told BBC 5 Live. "It feels good. I knew I'd won. I knew I'd done enough." He added: "I will fight him again yeah if everything is all right and it's the right way. But now I have beaten him twice." Earlier, middleweight Billy Joe Saunders inflicted the first stoppage of veteran Kevin Hammond's career to win in two rounds. While Frankie Gavin won the vacant WBO Inter-Continental welterweight title on points after a relatively uninspiring performance against the negative Young Mutley. But they are now facing an online backlash, as Twitter users identify and denounce them. Calls have been made to have them kicked out of universities and sacked from their jobs. Cole White, one of those who attended the rally has now reportedly been fired by his employer - the Top Dog hotdog restaurant chain in Berkeley, California. The sacking came after he was identified by Yes, You're Racist, a Twitter user who has been publicly naming and shaming those who attended the rally under the hashtag #ExposetheAltRight. Meanwhile, Peter Cvjetanovic, a 20-year-old student who was captured in one of the most widely shared photos, has defended his right to attend the "Unite the Right" rally, which centred around opposition to the removal of a statue of Civil War General Robert E Lee. The rally descended into violent street brawls between white supremacists and counter-protesters. One woman was killed when a car drove into a crowd of counter-protesters, and US President Donald Trump has come under criticism for failing to explicitly condemn white extremist groups, including neo-Nazis. Mr Cvjetanovic, who was also identified by Yes, You're Racist on Twitter, told local Nevada TV station KTVN Channel 2 that he understood an image of him that spread widely "has a very negative connotation". He added: "But I hope that the people sharing the photo are willing to listen that I'm not the angry racist they see in that photo." The self-described white nationalist said he attended the march to send a message that "white European culture has a right to be here just like every other culture". People like him, he said, "just want to preserve what we have". He says he has received death threats. Soon after he was identified on Twitter, a photo surfaced appearing to show him with Dean Heller, a Republican Senator from Nevada, alongside other students. Mr Heller then distanced himself from the controversy. End of Twitter post by @SenDeanHeller Mr Cvjetanovic is an undergraduate student at the University of Nevada, Reno, which is now facing calls to expel him. A petition has gathered 6,500 signatures. The university has released a statement, which did not name him, but said "racism and white supremacist movements have a corrosive effect on our society". It noted, however, that the university respects the peaceful exchange of different views and civil debate. The calls to have the white nationalist protesters - many of whom were young men - punished for their role in the rally is likely to add fuel to debates about free speech, especially on university campuses. Mr Cvjetanovic says that if the university expels him it would be a "clear violation" of his first amendment rights. Washington State University is also under pressure from some students after it was revealed its college Republican president had attended the rally. University president Kirk Shulz tweeted: "Universities are places where controversial voices must be heard - even those voices that many in our community disagree with." The fall-out from the events in Charlottesville has also seen web hosting company GoDaddy expel neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer, after it ran an article denigrating Heather Heyer, the woman who was killed on Saturday. In a related development, a post on the Daily Stormer front page claims the website has been hacked by Anonymous "in the name of Heather Heyer a victim of white supremacist terrorism". However, a major Twitter feed for Anonymous distanced itself from the hack - saying it might be a hoax. Meanwhile, a brand of "tiki torches" has distanced itself from marchers who wielded the outdoor lamps. "We do not support their message or the use of our products in this way," TIKI Brand said in a Facebook post. City council head Lewis Herbert has introduced a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) which makes touting illegal in areas of the city away from the River Cam. Touts face a fine of £75 for flouting the rule, which Mr Herbert said would protect people from being "hassled". One tout said he would "fight it to the death". The PSPO follows a public consultation earlier this year and bans touts from tourist hotspots such as King's Parade and some road junctions leading to the central shopping areas. Punting for more news from Cambridgeshire? Click here Mr Herbert said the council had spent two years talking with punt companies in an effort to curb touting. The new law, introduced at midnight, will be in place for three years and enforced by council officials and police. However, some companies have said it could put people out of work. Janne Jarvis, an independent punt operator said: "It's a throwback to the 1930s, to fascism, unbefitting of a western democracy. "It cannot be allowed to stand and we'll fight it to the death." Mr Herbert said up to 50 touts often worked "well away from the river". He said: "It is not right that people should get hassled. "If people are saying to me there are 75 punt touts and at some points there have been 50 on the streets at the same time, is that something that is appropriate for a city like ours?" Instead of touting, operators could sell tickets through shops or work directly with coach companies, he suggested. Leicester's LOROS centre, which provides palliative care, is expanding to treat a further 250 patients a year and a teaching centre is being built. It currently works with 2,500 people with terminal illnesses as either residents or day visitors. The first sod was cut by Alan Birchenall, Leicester City club ambassador and a patron of the charity. The former Foxes player - known as The Birch - also cut the turf when LOROS moved to its current site 31 years ago, this time bringing the Premier League trophy with him. As well as the extension to the day therapy unit the charity, which serves Leicestershire and Rutland, is building a professional development centre to share its expertise. John Knight, chief executive of LOROS, said: "It's a continuation of the education centre that LOROS already provides. It will be a very beautiful, new bespoke centre where people will come to learn about palliative care. "It's a way of LOROS spreading our influence further than just the service we provide on site." The air ambulance was called to Fillongley Road, Meriden at 13:40 GMT on Thursday. A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Crews arrived to find a man that had suffered multiple serious injuries and was receiving CPR by bystanders. "Unfortunately, nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed dead at the scene." Exchange firms said travellers were stockpiling currencies as a protection from sudden movements in rates. Last week the Post Office saw a 57% uplift in sales worth more than £500, and a surge of 215% over the weekend. Foreign currency firm Travelex, said the catalyst was a rally in the value of the pound on financial markets. "We did notice a 30% uplift for traffic to our UK website on the day that the pound regained its strength last week," said Travelex's head of pricing, David Swann. "We also saw an increase in the average transaction value." David Cameron and the Chancellor, George Osborne, have referred repeatedly to a Treasury forecast that the pound would fall sharply if the UK votes to leave the EU. The Vote Leave campaign accused them of talking down the economy and pointed out that the pound had been stable in recent months. A specialist currency firm, Caxton FX, said its business was currently 20% up on last year. Its chief executive, Rupert Lee-Browne, said he saw "increasing concern that the pound will fall, from customers who are travelling in the summer." Henry Huggins, 48, was attacked near his flat in Luton, on 8 August 2013. His injuries were so severe that he remained in a coma until his death on 10 June 2015. Stuart Docherty, 42, of Townley, Luton, originally admitted grievous bodily harm in 2014. Following Mr Huggins' death, Docherty was tried and found guilty of murder earlier this month. He will now serve at least 20 years and six months in jail. His co-accused, James Early, 43, was originally convicted of causing actual bodily harm for which he served two years and half years in prison. Following Mr Huggins' death he faced a manslaughter trial and was sentenced earlier to five years and six months in prison. In the latest trial the court was told how Early delivered punches that sent Mr Huggins falling backwards, hitting his head on hard cement. He fled the scene while Docherty stamped on his victims' head and kicked him in the head, leaving him with injuries from which he never recovered. Mr Huggins remained alive in hospital "in a persistent vegetative state" for almost two years. Months later, Docherty and Early were jailed for assault. When Mr Huggins died his attackers were re-arrested on charges of murder and manslaughter. Mr Huggins was initially assaulted by Early in a dispute about his dog outside his home in Whipperley Ring. Passing sentence on the pair, Judge Foster, said although the attack on Henry that day had not been racially motivated, he was satisfied there had been an "undercurrent" of racial abuse directed at Henry in the weeks leading up to the assault. He added that he agreed with comment passed by a previous judge who sentenced Docherty for GBH that it was "an appalling act of violence and cowardice, which was a heinous and wicked act." John Rooney, 47, absconded from open prison HMP Springhill in Aylesbury on 25 August, and posed a "risk of harm to the public" police said. He had been seen travelling on a bus to Oxford but was arrested in Manchester, where he has links, on Monday night. Greater Manchester Police said a 23-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of harbouring an offender. Rooney has been remanded in police custody. Pornographic images have never been more widely available, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers warns. The ATL, meeting for its annual conference, says it is vital children do not become desensitised to graphic, sometimes aggressive, sexual imagery. The teachers' union says staff need more guidance on how to tackle this over-sexualised youth culture. Teachers highlighted their concern about children having access to books such as Fifty Shades of Grey. Helen Porter, a teacher from Newbury in Berkshire, told the union's conference in Liverpool: "It is crucial that youngsters develop an understanding of sex in the media and pornography, so that they can recognise the abnormal nature of these sexual expectations and appreciate the dangers of accepting the values portrayed by the sexualised media." Ms Porter said pornographic images led to unrealistic expectations. "Boys who become familiar with pornography develop certain expectations of girls' bodies. Girls feel under pressure to conform to these ideals." Seconding the conference motion to raise awareness of the problem, Berkshire teacher James Schlackman said the debate should not be regarded as "moralistic lecturing", because young people today were being exposed to "dangerously unrealistic portrayals of sex". "Much of it [pornography] is aggressive, some of it bordering on abusive," said Mr Schlackman. "It doesn't show normal sexual behaviour, but there is so much of it that to young people, without the benefit of experience, it appears to be normal." Mr Schlackman said these images risked damaging children's relationships both now and in the future. He also warned that pornography made children more vulnerable to abuse. "Child protection experts know that a key method used to groom children for abuse is to normalise sexual behaviour to that child, to make it seem like what the abuser is asking from them is nothing unusual. "Today, children are doing that on their own. They are routinely taking sexual photographs of themselves and sending them to others. "They are becoming desensitised to the very activities that make them vulnerable to abuse." One teacher told the conference she feared books like Fifty Shades of Grey normalised sexually abusive relationships. Niamh Sweeney from Cambridgeshire argued: "It is not erotic fiction - it describes a violent and abusive relationship where a young girl admits to being hurt, not enjoying it but agreeing to it because she know he likes it." Ms Sweeney said she had discussed the book with her lower sixth class and used it to discuss the dangers of being forced "to do something they do not want to do". Alison Sherratt, an ATL member from Bradford raised concerns that even very young children have access to explicit images. "It is a fact that very many of our youngest children are exposed to a wide variety of images of a pornographic nature, found even in what may be seen to be the most innocent magazines," she said. "Little ones are seeing inappropriate films and video games while staying up late or being in the same room as other siblings. "We are noticing a much more explicit vocabulary emerging and types of games amongst the very young that are quite sexually explicit." Wambach, 32, who was named as player of the tournament as USA won London 2012 Olympic gold, beat Brazil star Marta and team-mate Alex Morgan to the award. "Winning any individual award is a product of the team you play for," she said. "I've never scored a goal without receiving a pass from my team-mates." Sweden's ex-USA coach Pia Sundhage was named women's coach of the year. The award capped a fantastic year for Wambach, who scored five goals to help the USA defend their Olympic title and won the Golden Ball, given to the tournament's best player. Wambach, who has scored 152 goals in 198 appearances for her country, collected 20.67% of the women's world player of the year votes. Five-time winner Marta was runner-up with 13.5% as Morgan [10.87%] finished third. "I really didn't expect this," said Wambach, who is currently without a club side following the Women's Professional Soccer league in the United States folding in 2012. "Thanks to Fifa and President [Sepp] Blatter for having us. Pia, coaching staff and the medical staff as well, thank you. "Thanks to all the fans out there who continue to inspire me and the rest of the team to win as many games as we can." Sundhage, 52, was recognised for leading the USA to their second successive Olympic gold medal after a 2-1 win against final opponents Japan at Wembley. But the Swede stepped down from the role less than a month later, before announcing she was taking charge of her home nation. Sundhage earned 28.59% of the votes, ahead of Japan coach Norio Sasaki (23.83%) and France team coach Bruno Bini (9.02%). The country is due to receive 200 people from camps in Turkey, Italy and Greece under the EU plan to resettle 40,000 new arrivals. Interior ministry spokesman Ivan Metik said Muslims would not be accepted because they would not feel at home. The UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) called on countries to take an "inclusive approach" to relocation. But Mr Metik denied the move was discriminatory and said it was intended to ensure community cohesion. The number of migrants at the EU's borders has surged in recent months, reaching a record high of 107,500 in July. Most are Syrians, Afghans, and sub-Saharan Africans, fleeing instability or poverty. Last month, EU member states agreed to take in 32,000 asylum seekers arriving in Italy and Greece over the next two years - fewer than the 40,000 target. The scheme was made voluntary after some nations - including Slovakia - refused to accept set quotas. Mr Metik told the BBC: "We want to really help Europe with this migration wave but... we are only a transit country and the people don't want to stay in Slovakia. "We could take 800 Muslims but we don't have any mosques in Slovakia so how can Muslims be integrated if they are not going to like it here?" EU Commission spokeswoman Annika Breithard said she could not comment directly on the Slovak statement, but stressed that EU states were banned from any form of discrimination. Meanwhile Babar Baloch, Central Europe spokesman for the UNHCR, said: "Resettlement is greatly needed for many refugees who are at extreme risk among the world's most vulnerable groups. "We encourage governments to take an inclusive approach while considering refugees for resettlement and should not base their selection on discrimination." More than 240,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean already this year, arriving on the shores of Greece and Italy before travelling on to other destinations. Germany, the biggest recipient of asylum-seekers in the EU, has said it could receive as many as 800,000 applicants this year. The numbers are far higher than the record 438,000 asylum applications in 1992 during the Bosnian crisis. Both the EU and the UN have called on other countries to share the burden. But EU leaders face a public backlash amid tensions over immigration. Six appliances were at the site at Rotherwas, on the edge of Hereford city centre, on Wednesday, Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said. The blaze, at Commercial Vehicle Repairs, was under control within about four hours. All of the building and contents were involved in the fire, but the cause was undisclosed, the fire service said. It was called at about 11:50 BST and the blaze was under control by about 15:55 BST. The 29-year-old's 18th-minute dismissal was his second red card of the season. The former Kidderminster man was also banned for the first eight games of this term, after an alleged bite on an opponent during the previous campaign. Cheltenham are 18th in League Two, seven points above the relegation zone. National Good Gestures Day has been held in 15 locations, supported by Stephen's friends. Stephen, of Burntwood, Staffordshire, died of cancer a year ago. He and his friends helped make the gestures day a national event last year and they promised him they would keep it going. Hannah Telles knew Stephen, who was 19 when he died, and took part in the day with him last year. "It's celebrating his message and his legacy," she said. "With the anniversary (of his death) just gone, it's a good time to come out and make people happy. "I think he would love this." One woman who was given a hug in Birmingham said it brought tears to her eyes. "It's 12 months since he died and his friends are still here doing things to raise awareness for him," she said. "And he did so much himself." Stephen had initially set out to raise just £10,000 ($16,800) for charity, but his fundraising campaign attracted huge attention after he posted a selfie online. The image went viral and attracted the support of celebrities including Jason Manford, who championed Stephen's charity efforts. So far, his Just Giving page has raised £4.5m. Good Gestures Day events have been held in Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Chelmsford, Falmouth, Glasgow, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, Southampton and Swansea. The data gets added as employees create documents, images and other files as they maintain and update websites. The research found user names, employee IDs, software versions and unique IDs for internal computers in the files. Attackers could use it to craft attacks aimed at senior staff, said security firm Glasswall which did the survey. Banks, law firms, defence contractors and government departments were all found to be leaking data. "This is really low-hanging fruit," said Lewis Henderson, a vice-president at Glasswall, which carried out the survey for the BBC. To gather the data, Mr Henderson "scraped" target websites for days to ensure he grabbed copies of all the files published by an organisation. Pictures, PDFs, spreadsheets and other documents made public via the sites were all sampled. "This was all done from a single IP [internet protocol] address and in broad daylight," he said. Mr Henderson said that a significant proportion of the files contained metadata which betrayed key information about the people who created that file, when they did it, and the version of the software and machine which they used. About 99% of one particular document type contained this data. In some cases, he added, user names were annotated with internal user IDs and, in one case, he found a detailed guide to a remote login procedure for a law firm's Far Eastern regional office. The cache of data gathered would be a perfect starting point for any sophisticated attack that sought to target senior staff or their aides, said Mr Henderson. "We did what a malicious actor would do," he said, "which is intelligence gathering on a large scale." Armed with the information, Mr Henderson said an attacker would then turn to social media, especially Facebook and LinkedIn, to relate the names found buried in the documents to real people. Emails bearing booby-trapped attachments could then be crafted for specific individuals after studying their biographical details and recent activity. "The more information you have the more you can customise the package sent to targets," he said. The virus code that attackers buried in the malicious attachments could lurk until it hit the machine used by a specific person, he said, guaranteeing it reached a particular target. Chief executives and finance heads were rarely targeted directly, said Mr Henderson. Instead attackers tended to go after their aides who are busy, deal with a lot of different people day-to-day and receive a lot of documents. "Organisations are always surprised when they get hit by targeted attacks," he said. "They always ask how they found out all that information." Cleaning up files to strip out useful data was "simple", said Mr Henderson. "All of them will probably have a policy that says this should not happen," he added. "But although there's a policy, there's not necessarily the due diligence and process to do it." The techniques used by Glasswall were "absolutely" the same as those seen in sophisticated, customised cyber-attacks, said Rick Holland, vice-president of strategy at security firm Digital Shadows. "Anyone doing a targeted attack is going to look at all the documents in a firm's public footprint," he said. Any data on user names gathered from that file sweep would then be compared to the logs derived from recent massive data breaches, he said, adding that this was a technique used by security firms who were under contract to test the digital defences of a company or organisation. The breach logs might reveal a password associated with a user name that an attacker could use in a bid to take over an account, said Mr Holland. The recent slew of "mega-breaches" meant there were a lot of user names and passwords available to attackers, he said. One site that gathers breach data, Have I Been Pwned, has amassed data on almost four billion accounts stolen from more than 226 websites. Firms failed to view the files and documents on their websites as a security risk, he said, because they were focused more on internal threats. "Many organisations just do not know that the risk is out there," he said. "Few look at the total risk picture of their digital footprint." This week BBC News is taking a close look at all aspects of cyber-security. The coverage is timed to coincide with the two biggest shows in the security calendar - Black Hat and Def Con. We will have further features and videos on Wednesday, and then coverage from the two Las Vegas-based events over the following days. Follow all our coverage via this link The world number 11 won a gripping World Championship second-round tie in a deciding frame to reach the last eight for the fourth successive year. Hawkins was trounced 10-1 by O'Sullivan in the Masters final in January. "I prepared myself better. In the Masters I let the occasion get to me," said the 36-year-old. "I played him more than I played the balls. I just crumbled in the end. "I had a different mindset. I felt a little bit more confident for some reason. I thought I put him under a bit of pressure. If he gets in front of you he can steamroll you. I am absolutely delighted." Media playback is not supported on this device The London-born, Kent-based left hander, who faces Marco Fu in the quarter-finals, had not beaten five-time world champion O'Sullivan in 14 years. His only previous win in 11 meetings came in their first match in 2002 and Hawkins said he could get "bashed up" by O'Sullivan if he did not play his best snooker. The 2013 runner-up allayed those fears by taking a two-frame advantage into the final session in a high-quality encounter. He edged over the line in the final frame and described his 13-12 victory as "one of the best" of his career. "It's so tough playing Ronnie; he is so intimidating," Hawkins added. "Not many people can beat him over three sessions at this place. It doesn't happen that often. "To do it when I thought he was playing well is a massive confidence boost and it proves I can compete against anyone."

Earlier a north Belfast pastor who made controversial comments about Muslims visited the men. James McConnell said he had told them there was "no justification for such an attack" whatever their religion. One of the men, Muhammad Asif Khattak, said he had been warned by friends not to leave London to go to Northern Ireland. "I'm regretting what happened to me. The friends told me yesterday 'we were right what we told you before, not to go, not to leave London'," he said. Mr McConnell said he had offered to help pay for damage caused to their home on Sunday. Last month, the pastor described Islam as "heathen" and "satanic", and said he did not trust Muslims. Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson came under fire for defending Mr McConnell's remarks, telling the Irish News he would not trust Muslims involved in violence or those devoted to Sharia law. However, the DUP leader said he would "trust them to go to the shops" for him. Mr Robinson later said his remarks had been misinterpreted, and met Muslim leaders in Belfast to apologise. Mr McConnell, of the Metropolitan Tabernacle church in north Belfast, said he had told the two men he was appalled by the incident at Parkmount Street on Sunday. The church said in a statement: "A very profitable discussion took place about how the pastor has reached out to all sides of this community for over 60 years and he will continue to do so." Meanwhile, figures show the number of hate crimes reported to the police in Northern Ireland increased by 30% in the last year. In the 12 months from 2012 to 2013, 750 racist incidents were reported. That went up to 982 last year. The figures also show that the police only solve one in five hate crimes. In England that figure is over 50%. Shukria Barakzai, a women's rights advocate and ally of new President Ashraf Ghani, was lightly injured in the attack. "[Ms Barakzai] is fine and suffers small injuries," Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi tweeted. "Unfortunately three civilians martyred and around 17 injured," he added. Ms Barakzai was travelling in a convoy containing other lawmakers on their way to parliament when a car tried to ram the politician's vehicle and the attacker detonated explosives, reports said. Afghanistan is grappling with a vicious insurgency, led by the Taliban. The latest incident comes a week after a suicide bomber entered the offices of Kabul's police chief in one of the most fortified areas of the capital and killed a senior officer. We know all about the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sadio Mane - two of the highest-profile deals so far - but what of the lesser-known imports to the English game? Who, for example, comes from the land of 'the great chess players?' Who has become the fourth most expensive Nigerian player of all time? And who used to work as a butcher for 30 euros a week? This is your essential guide to what we can expect from the Premier League's lower-profile additions this summer. Granit Xhaka, Borussia Monchengladbach to Arsenal Age: 23 Cost: £35m Position: Midfielder Career so far: Made his professional debut with Basel in his native Switzerland and won two league titles and one domestic cup before moving to Monchengladbach in 2012. During four years with the German club he picked up 23 yellow cards and five reds, and captained the side to fourth place in the Bundesliga. What type of player is he? A combative yet creative midfielder known for his vision, accurate passing and hard tackling. He was second only to Xabi Alonso for completed passes in last season's Bundesliga, yet he also managed to get sent off three times for his club last term. Will he cut it in the Premier League? Arsenal and Arsene Wenger certainly think so. Could be a star of the 2016-17 campaign. What has been said about him? Ottmar Hitzfeld, the former Switzerland manager, called him the 'young Bastian Schweinsteiger'. Age: 23 Cost: £4.7m Position: Goalkeeper Career so far: Made his Bundesliga debut with Mainz aged 19 and by the following season had become first-choice goalkeeper. Played every league game last season, saving two penalties and keeping nine clean sheets. What type of player is he? Describes himself as "a modern, offensive goalkeeper", who is "willing to take risks". Will he cut it in the Premier League? He cost almost exactly half the fee Liverpool paid for Simon Mignolet in 2013, but after a mixed three seasons at Anfield, Karius could well usurp his more experienced, more expensive rival and start the season as first choice. What has been said about him? Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "He has developed into a very good goalkeeper since his return to Germany. I know he will add to the quality we have in this position." Age: 26 Cost: Free Position: Defensive midfielder Career so far: After reaching the Norwegian Cup final with FK Haugesund at the end of his debut season he was signed by Arsenal aged 17. But in four years with the north London club he did not play a single game and left for Monchengladbach after a series of loan spells in Spain, Germany and his homeland. He missed just three league matches last season as Monchengladbach came fourth, and played in all six of the side's games in the Champions League group stage. What type of player is he? He began his career as a defender but Nordtveit played the majority of last season as a defensive midfielder - alongside new Arsenal signing Xhaka - although he can also feature at centre-back and right-back. Will he cut it in the Premier League? Nordtveit will feel he has something to prove having missed out on a chance to play in the English top flight during his years at Arsenal, and his consistently impressive performances in Germany and in Europe suggest he is well placed to do just that. What has been said about him? Monchengladbach boss Andre Schubert: "He has a great strength of will and there's a lot of power and energy in his game. He has a brilliant mentality and takes on every challenge, regardless of which position he's in and where he's needed." Age: 26 Cost: Free Position: Attacking midfielder/winger Career so far: Plays for Algeria but was born in France and began his career with Grenoble before moving to Valencia in 2010. He made 202 appearances during six years with the Spanish club, scoring 31 goals and providing 40 assists. He was a key part of Algeria's run to the last 16 of the World Cup in 2014. What type of player is he? His lightning pace and quick feet have been key for Valencia in recent years, but he was one of many who struggled in a campaign last season that saw Gary Neville fired from his first attempt in management. Missed the end of last season after being suspended by the club amid reports he refused to take part in a warm-down. Will he cut it in the Premier League? The Hammers will be hoping Feghouli can bring the best of his creative flair into the English top flight, much in the same way as Dimitri Payet did in his debut season after joining from Marseille last year. Like Payet, he has undoubted ability, but there are question marks over his consistency after a disappointing 2015-16. What has been said about him? West Ham co-chairman David Gold: "The arrival of Feghouli shows the ambition we have got and this is a steady progress. We all saw what Riyad Mahrez did for Leicester last season and we hope that Sofiane can have a similar impact." Age: 22 Cost: £30m Position: Defender Career so far: Began his professional career with Spanish club Espanyol before moving to Villarreal for a reported £4.8m in January 2015 as a replacement for Gabriel Paulista, who had joined Arsenal. He has played 15 times for Ivory Coast, with whom he won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015. What type of player is he? Aggressive, quick, strong, good in the air and with his feet, Bailly was sorely missed as Villarreal were beaten 3-0 away by Liverpool in last season's Europa League semi-final second leg. Will he cut it in the Premier League? All the signs suggest he will. Bailly caught the eye with some really strong displays against Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Karim Benzema as Villarreal finished fourth in La Liga last year. He has the physical attributes to succeed and the hope will be that, under Jose Mourinho, the finer sides of his defensive game continue to develop at Old Trafford. What has been said about him? United manager Jose Mourinho: "Eric is a young central defender with great natural talent. He has progressed well to date and has the potential to become one of the best around." Age: 25 Cost: Reported £20m Position: Midfielder Career so far: Began his career with Bochum's reserve side before moving to Nurnberg in 2009 and on to Borussia Dortmund for a reported £3.4m in 2011. There, under manager Jurgen Klopp, he won the German league and cup double in 2012 and was a Champions League finalist in 2013. He has had injury problems since though, missing all but the first game of the 2013-14 season with a back problem. He is currently recovering from a dislocated knee. What type of player is he? A deep-lying Germany midfielder with a Turkish background, Gundogan is admired for his close control, vision and passing range. In 157 games for Dortmund he scored 15 goals and provided 21 assists. Will he cut it in the Premier League? Gundogan has already proved he has the ability to compete at the highest level, both with Dortmund in the German top flight and with the national team. What has been said about him? City director of football Txiki Begiristain: "He is an intelligent and versatile midfielder who can operate in a number of different roles. He will be a very important player for us in the coming years." Age: 27 Cost: Free Position: Defender Career so far: Graduated from Real Madrid's youth system but never played for the Spanish giants. Instead his breakthrough came at Sporting Gijon, where he spent two years in the reserves before being promoted to the first team in 2012. What type of player is he? A ball-playing centre-back who is used to being busy - his side only just stayed up last season. Will he cut it in the Premier League? Difficult to be definitive about this because last season was Hernandez's first and only top-flight campaign - and Gijon escaped relegation only by a point thanks to a 2-0 win on the final day. In his own words: "Yesterday I took off [the shirt] for the last time and I feel that these red and white stripes will be stuck to me forever," on his final game for Sporting. Age: 23 Cost: Reported £2m Position: Defender Career so far: Made his professional debut with FC Utrecht at the age of 18 and was named their player of the year in his third and final season before joining Ajax in 2013 for a reported £3.2m. Spent the first half of last season on the bench but was a regular in the run-in as Ajax narrowly missed out on the Dutch title. Has made 13 appearances for the Netherlands Under-21 side, scoring once. What type of player is he? A 6ft 2in centre-back who has scored 10 goals in 90 games in Dutch club football. Will he cut it in the Premier League? Remains to be seen if he plays regularly. Only got 15 Eredivisie games for Ajax last season but will have Ashley Williams alongside him to guide his development. In his own words: "I hope to improve and bring competition to the defensive position. Ashley Williams is a really good defender. Hopefully I can learn from him." Age: 27 Cost: £26m (reported) Position: Attacking midfielder Career so far: Started in his homeland of Armenia with Pyunik, before spells with Metalurh and Shakhtar Donetsk. Joined Dortmund three years ago, scoring 23 goals in 88 Bundesliga appearances. Had a hand in 49 goals (23 goals, 26 assists) in 52 games for Dortmund last season. What type of player is he? Plays most of his football as an attacking midfielder, but can also play in a deeper midfield role, on the wing or just off a striker. An expert passer and finisher, as his stats for last season show. Will he cut it in the Premier League? Has all the characteristics needed to be one of the stars of the Premier League. However, a word of caution - the last Dortmund playmaker that United signed was Shinji Kagawa, who only lasted two years at Old Trafford. What has been said about him? "He is one of the most talented players in the world. He possesses an incredible combination of speed and technique. There's very, very few you can say that about. There's a reason why the world's best chess players come from Armenia like Mkhitaryan. They're thinkers, they're hard workers, they graft," Jurgen Klopp in 2015. Age: 25 Cost: £12m (reported) Position: Midfielder Career so far: Has spent most of his career in the Netherlands, with Sparta Rotterdam and Heerenveen. Joined Atalanta for a reported £1m last summer and leaves after one goal in 36 Serie A appearances. What type of player is he? A defensive midfielder who loves a tackle - illustrated by nine bookings last season. He was top of Serie A's rankings for tackles - and second for interceptions - last season. Don't expect many goals, he's only ever notched 11. Will he cut it in the Premier League? This type of disciplined, defensive midfielder often shines in the Premier League, so he could be key for Boro - but there is a long list of Serie A players who never adapted to English football. In his own words: "On the pitch, something clicks and I become a different person. I enjoy standing on someone's toes every now and then or whispering in someone's ear if they do something wrong or miss a chance," he said in a Youtube video this year. Age: 19 Cost: £1.7m (reported) Position: Attacking midfielder Career so far: Came through the youth team at Shakhtar Donetsk before moving to Ufa in Russia, scoring twice in 31 league games. Was added to Ukraine's Euro 2016 squad after reportedly being offered Russian citizenship, and played all three games in France. What type of player is he? The talented youngster can play in any midfield position, and has also featured at left-back. A Ukrainian James Milner? Will he cut it in the Premier League? Maybe in the future, but City fans should perhaps not expect to see him near the first team soon as he has been linked with a loan switch to PSV Eindhoven. What has been said about him? "Zinchenko is talented, but he must be realistic. He must get experience and game practice. He can only play for Manchester City on PlayStation," said former Ukraine and Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin last month. Age: 22 Cost: £33m (reported) Position: Striker Career so far: Was released by Anderlecht in 2007 for being too hard to handle. Two and a half seasons as a regular at Standard Liege got him a £4.5m move to Marseille in 2014. Was fourth top scorer in Ligue 1 last season with 17 goals, despite being back-up to Steven Fletcher at one stage, angering - among others - Basile Boli. What type of player is he? A proper striker, who has pace and power, can finish well and is decent in the air despite his relative lack of height at 5ft 11in. His attitude has been questioned in the past and he doesn't consider passing to a team-mate if going alone is on the cards. Will he cut it in the Premier League? Has all the qualities one looks for in a Premier League striker. Will surely get more of a chance than Chelsea's last Belgium striker, Romelu Lukaku, although if he does half as well as another signing from Marseille, Didier Drogba, then he will be a Blues hero. What has been said about him? "I think his move is absolutely brilliant. Michy is being rewarded for his great form and the work he has done out here and over the past season," said Belgium boss Marc Wilmots during Euro 2016. Age: 24 Cost: £13m (reported) Position: Midfielder Career so far: Helped Monaco win promotion from Ligue 2 in 2012-13 under now Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, but annoyed his manager by then leaving for Nice - where he spent three seasons before moving to the Foxes. Has only ever scored once in 201 games. What type of player is he? The fact he gets compared to Claude Makelele is a good clue that he's a defensive midfielder who likes tackles and simple passes. Despite his love of a tackle, he has only been sent off twice in over 200 appearances, so shouldn't be a liability. Will he cut it in the Premier League? From the scouting team who brought in N'Golo Kante from Ligue 1 a year ago, you have to back Leicester to know a potential Premier League midfielder when they see one. What has been said about him? "I do not understand his attitude. As soon as I saw him play, I said here is our Claude Makelele. I trusted him and I played him," Ranieri told L'Equipe when Mendy left Monaco in 2013. Age: 20 Cost: £12.5m (reported) Position: Forward Career so far: Still only 20, all of Success' first-team football has come for Granada, for whom he scored seven goals in 49 La Liga games. What type of player is he? Can play on either wing or as a striker. Has pace to burn and plenty of strength. Scored six La Liga goals and assisted another five last season, and that was from out wide in a struggling team. Will he cut it in the Premier League? There's no reason why not, but if Watford keep hold of Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo, Success may have to play deeper or be an impact substitute unless new coach Walter Mazzarri plays a three-man front line. What has been said about him? "Success is a very good player, he has power, he has the physical characteristics to play in England, but he's younger and we need to think about the future of this player," said Quique Sanches Flores, then the Watford manager, speaking in February. Age: 31 Cost: £1.5m (reported) Position: Goalkeeper Career so far: Started off at Le Havre before joining Marseille in 2007, going on to make 439 appearances. Won the French title with the club in 2010 and has been named Ligue 1 goalkeeper of the year four times, including each of the past two seasons. Had been their captain since 2010. What type of player is he? An excellent goalkeeper as well as a leader of men. A great shot stopper, who is confident at dealing with crosses. Has saved three Ligue 1 penalties in the last three seasons. Will he cut it in the Premier League? Almost certainly, if he is Palace's number one ahead of Wayne Hennessey. Only missed two Ligue 1 games in his last six years for Marseille and is entering his peak years as a keeper. What has been said about him? "He'd be France's number one if it wasn't for Hugo Lloris. You just have to look at his record to see he's a top keeper - he brings experience into that position as well," said Palace assistant boss Keith Millen. Age: 29 Cost: £13.8m Position: Forward Career so far: Joined Barcelona's B team at the age of 22 after starting his career in the lower leagues. After two La Liga appearances for Barca's first team, he went on to play for Benfica, Granada and Celta Vigo. He was the second-most prolific Spaniard in La Liga over the last three seasons with 39 goals and Barca tried to re-sign him in January. What type of player is he? Plays out wide on the left, with plenty of pace and tricks - and likes to cut inside onto his right foot and get a shot in - he scored 12 in La Liga last season. Will he cut it in the Premier League? Pep Guardiola managed the Spaniard at Barcelona so if he thinks he can, he must have something to offer. Was one of Spain's sharpest players at Euro 2016, but might be involved in some rotation among City's star-studded squad and is unlikely to start every game. What has been said about him? "We've brought him because of the season he's had and because he's a specialist on the wing - there aren't many players like him. Defensively speaking he also helps out his full-back and he was one of our best options for the wide positions," then-Spain boss Vicente del Bosque told Marca about his decision to bring him to Euro 2016.

She said there would be many issues for people to weigh up, and she did not presume the case has yet been won. But she said it was right to keep the possibility on the table. Opposition parties have urged Ms Sturgeon to focus on her "day job" of running Scotland, arguing she should be looking to improve public services such as education and the NHS instead of pushing for independence. They have also suggested that Scotland's £15bn public spending deficit should act as a reality check for those calling for a second referendum. Ms Sturgeon said every poll taken since the Brexit vote had shown support for independence was higher than it had been in the 2014 referendum, when voters backed staying in the UK by 55% to 45%. She added: "And while I take nothing for granted, I suspect support for independence will be even higher if it becomes clear that it is the best, or the only way to protect our interests." She said there was a "democratic deficit" at the heart of the Westminster system, and the fundamental question was whether Scotland should control its own destiny as a country, or "will we always be at the mercy of decisions taken elsewhere?" Ms Sturgeon said the UK that Scotland voted to stay a part of two years ago had changed, and so too had the arguments for and against independence. She said: "Before we start talking, we must listen. So today we are launching, as the first phase in our new campaign, the biggest listening exercise in our party's history. "It will run from now until St Andrew's Day (30 November). We want to understand in detail how people feel now about Europe, Brexit and independence. "We want to know the concerns that people have and the questions that they want answered. We want to build, if we can, a consensus on the way forward". Ms Sturgeon said members of the public could take part through a dedicated website, and all 120,000 SNP members would be sent a "pack of survey cards" which they would ask five people a month for the next three months to fill in. All of the party's MPs and MSPs have been instructed to hold town hall meetings, and the SNP will establish a growth commission headed by its former MSP Andrew Wilson, who is a founding partner of the Charlotte Street Partners communications agency. The commission will look at the prospects for Scotland's economy and also consider key issues such as currency. The first minister added: "Our activists will be hitting the doorsteps as well, asking people to take part and delivering a new leaflet explaining why. "All in all, we plan to talk to at least two million people across Scotland between now and 30 November. The wealth of information and insight we gather will then inform the next stage of our campaign". Ms Sturgeon - and her predecessor Alex Salmond - have repeatedly argued that the independence cause requires more, much more than SNP fervour. Both believe that, if zeal were enough, Scotland would have been independent decades ago. So the FM's message today - as at the March conference when she first signalled the summer campaign - was that the advocates of independence must patiently answer the concerns and worries of voters. They must listen, not lecture. Which is why I categorise today's announcement as a manoeuvre. It is emphatically not an immediate gung-ho propaganda push for independence. It is not the starting pistol on a new referendum campaign. It is not the comprehensive rewriting of the independence White Paper. For one thing, this is a party initiative, not a government one. Rather, it is tentatively preparing the ground, should a referendum be sought and attempted. Ms Sturgeon is cautious about a referendum. She wonders whether folk will heed the argument advanced by the Conservatives and others that indyref2 would simply pile problems upon existing uncertainty. Yes, the SNP can say that it was the Tories who created the challenge by calling an EU referendum. But that is fighting a past battle, rather than addressing voters' contemporary concerns. So she ponders the public mood. Read more from Brian here Ms Sturgeon had been cheered by supporters when she announced plans for a summer initiative to boost support for leaving the UK at the SNP conference in March. And she said immediately after the UK voted to leave the EU that a second independence vote was "highly likely". But the small number of opinion polls since the EU referendum have suggested she could not yet be certain of securing a majority in favour of independence despite the Brexit vote. Two recent YouGov polls - the latest of which was published in the Times on Friday morning - have suggested a narrow majority of people remain in favour of staying in the UK, with support for independence put at 47% and 46% respectively. Some senior SNP politicians have cautioned against rushing into a fresh referendum, with former education secretary Alex Neil recently calling for Ms Sturgeon to wait until there is a "decisive and evident shift in support for independence over a sustained period of time". In a letter to the Scotsman newspaper, business figures including former CBI Scotland head Sir Iain McMillan and former Scottish Enterprise chief executive Jack Perry said they were concerned about the SNP's new initiative on independence. The letter argues that the move would "only add fresh uncertainty to Scotland's future at a time when small and large businesses are looking for stability". They urged the Scottish government to instead focus on "improving our education system and skills, creating a sustainable NHS, and supporting economic growth in Scotland." Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said Ms Sturgeon's speech had shown she was "prepared to ignore the priorities of the people of Scotland, in pursuit of her own narrow nationalist agenda." Ms Davidson added: "If she was really listening, she would know that most of us don't want to go back to another divisive referendum debate - we want Scotland to move on." Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said: "Instead of reforming education to give our young people the skills they need to compete for the jobs of the future, Nicola Sturgeon is deciding to drag Scotland back to the arguments of the past." And Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie claimed Ms Sturgeon was "only pretending to listen" as she had "already decided that independence is the answer to Brexit." The Scottish Conservatives, Scottish Labour and Liberal Democrats are all opposed to holding a second referendum, meaning the SNP would likely need the support of the pro-independence Scottish Greens to get their bill through Holyrood. But any referendum would also need to be approved by the UK government in order to be legally binding. UK Prime Minister Theresa May said in July she was "willing to listen to options" on Scotland's future relationship with the EU, but appeared unwilling to consider a second referendum on independence. This was the seventh largest victory, in terms of runs, in the 3,767-match history of ODIs. Pakistan piled up 337-6 in a match reduced by rain to 47 overs per side, with Sharjeel Khan scoring 152. Ireland were bowled out for just 82 inside 24 overs in reply, with left-arm spinner Imad Wasim taking 5-14. Sharjeel's 152 was the third quickest 150 in the format in terms of balls faced, his innings coming off 86 balls and including 16 fours and nine sixes. He racked up his maiden ODI century in just 61 balls, registering Pakistan's fourth fastest ton in the format. The teams will meet again at the same venue on Saturday. After the two encounters with Pakistan, Ireland will finish their season with further one-day internationals against South Africa on 25 September and Australia on 27 September - both in Benoni, South Africa. Pakistan are using the games as preparation for five one-day internationals against England, having drawn the recent Test series between the countries. Ireland captain William Porterfield: "It was a good toss [for Pakistan] to win but we let ourselves down with the ball. We can't let teams get away from us like that. "It is a tough learning curve bowling against some of the best batsmen in the world but our young bowlers want to come back, go again and come back stronger. "It is difficult chasing down a total like that; we just have to go and address how we went wrong." Starting in September Boeing will slow the production rate to six planes a year from twelve. The four-engined plane is being overtaken in popularity by twin-engined craft which are more fuel efficient. However, the 747 will still be used for the Air Force One presidential fleet, which is due to be upgraded. "Basically, the 747 line is slowly dying," said Richard Aboulafia, an aerospace analyst, from the Teal Group. "Boeing can't kill it right away, even if that makes economic sense, because they need to build the last few planes for the US Air Force presidential replacement aircraft program in a year or two," he added. In recent years the 747 has been more popular as a cargo plane, rather than a passenger jet. Ray Conner, chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in a statement: "The air cargo market recovery that began in late 2013 has stalled in recent months and slowed demand for the 747-8 freighter." Mr Aboulafia says a combination of factors has eroded demand for the jumbo. "The cargo market has had a very difficult few years, and shows no signs of growth. Meanwhile, the 747-8I passenger version was basically killed by the 777-9X, in much the same way that Airbus's A380 was gravely damaged by the A350-1000," said Mr Aboulafia. Boeing shares were trading up 0.5% on Friday. Overall the company said global passenger traffic and demand remained strong. Boeing and European rival Airbus delivered record craft last year and Boeing is raising production of its 787 Dreamliner, built largely with lightweight composite materials that reduce fuel use. Production will rise from the current 10 per month rate to 14, by 2020. Adam Eckersley's half-volley almost put the Buddies in front but Pars goalkeeper Sean Murdoch did well to turn it over. The visitors went close late on when Michael Paton's low effort was flicked wide by a defensive boot. St Mirren now have nine games to reduce the four-point gap between them and ninth-placed Ayr United. The Honest Men's home loss to Falkirk means the Paisley men have reeled them in ever so slightly, but both St Mirren boss Jack Ross and Dunfermline counterpart Allan Johnston will feel that a little more cutting edge in front of goal would have delivered three points. Murdoch worked hard to deny Cammy Smith, Rory Loy and the impressive Lewis Morgan. Michael Moffat had a couple of good opportunities for Dunfermline and Kallum Higginbotham also tested Billy O'Brien early on. The visitors claimed for a penalty when St Mirren defender Gary Irvine sent Paul McMullan sprawling, but referee Stephen Finnie was unmoved by the appeals. St Mirren manager Jack Ross: "When you look at other results it's a point gained. "The performance reflected a team that was trying to win the game. "It's a point in the right direction and given where we were a little while ago - almost written off - I think we're back in contention to avoid finishing in bottom place." Dunfermline manager Allan Johnston: "It must have been a great game for the neutral. "St Mirren put us under a lot of pressure early on but after the initial 15 minutes I thought we weathered the storm and were the better team. "It was just our final decision-making that let us down. "Gary Irvine put a challenge in from the back on Paul McMullan and it looked a penalty." Match ends, St. Mirren 0, Dunfermline Athletic 0. Second Half ends, St. Mirren 0, Dunfermline Athletic 0.

Asked whether sexism had played a role in the US election, she told BBC Newsnight: "There does appear to be some kind of backlash." Mrs Blair said "unacceptable" things were being said "by people who frankly should know better". She is founder of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women which promotes women's rights around the world. "I believe that the vast majority of men are not sexist - that actually most men love their mothers, respect their wives, and are passionate about having the best opportunities for their daughters." "The problem is we seem to have a culture which sort of shrugs its shoulders and says 'Oh well, you know men - that's just the way they are.'" Speaking to Newsnight's Evan Davis, she said she was "sad" not to see Hillary Clinton win the US presidential election. "I think we can't just focus on the individual personalities. It's about what is it that enables women to get to the top? And there does appear to be some kind of backlash. "And what I fear is that we've rather given permission for people to say things which I thought that we'd stopped giving that permission... "What seems to be a shame at the moment is we are getting things which are unacceptable which are being said, and being said by people who frankly should know better. And I think that's a bad thing." Mrs Blair said that she is encouraged by the change in parenting roles in the UK, and the increased involvement in men - including her husband. "Young men now who are much more hands-on fathers than their own fathers, and I have to say that my husband was much a more a hands-on father than his own father - when the idea was that real men went to work and women women stayed at home, and for a man to show caring was regarded as a weakness." She said work practices need to change to meet the realities of more shared parenting. "We still organise our work in such a way as though we were still living in this sort of mythical world where women all stayed at home and men went to work." "I say mythical because in my own case, my mother had to work after my father left us, so I was always brought up by a working mother. "The difference between my mother and myself is that because she didn't have my education, she didn't have the resources that I had which enabled me to have a great career." Cherie Blair was speaking to Evan Davis. You can watch the full interview on BBC Newsnight at 22:30 GMT on BBC Two - or catch up afterwards on iPlayer.

An otter's battle to land a fish as big as itself has been captured in a series of images taken by a Highlands-based wildlife photographer. Charlie Phillips, a Whale and Dolphin Conservation field officer, watched the otter as it landed the ling on a support of the Kessock Bridge at Inverness on Saturday. Mr Phillips had been on the Inverness Marina-based boat, Mischief, trying to spot bottlenose dolphins when he and the craft's crew came across the otter and its "snack". The conservation officer said: "We did see one harbour porpoise, but the real cracker of a sighting was seeing the otter landing on the Kessock Bridge bumpers with a huge fish."

Following inspections, two high schools, Gracemount and Craigmount, have been found to have faults. In all, 10 primaries, five secondaries and two additional support needs schools have been shut due to concern over the standard of construction. They were all built under the same public private partnership contract. Every Scottish council has either carried out or is now carrying out surveys of schools that could be affected. Edinburgh Council's chief executive Andrew Kerr said he could not be sure when all pupils in and around the city would be allowed back. He explained to BBC Scotland that some contingency plans would be in place in some schools by the end of Tuesday. However, Mr Kerr added that; Scotland's largest teaching union, the EIS, has called for a review of all PPP contracts in Scotland, questioning how such significant faults could escape building control scrutiny. The schools which have been affected were all built by Miller Construction, which was acquired by Galliford Try in 2014. Glasgow City Council said more surveys would be carried out in its schools next week. However, it had been given "verbal assurances" that nothing so far had been found. A spokeswoman said schools would be open as normal on Monday, 18 April. Inverclyde Council said it would be carrying out "urgent inspections" of four schools built by Miller between 2009 and 2011. A spokesman said the council did not believe the surveys would uncover concerns and it expected schools to be open as expected on Tuesday, 19 April. Fife Council said further inspections would be carried out but initial surveys during the Easter holidays did not unearth problems. All schools in Fife opened as schedule on Monday. The country's Education Secretary Angela Constance told BBC Scotland that answers were needed as to what went wrong and why. The closure of the schools, which are about 10 years old, was prompted after workers repairing serious structural issues at one city primary found "further serious defects" with the building on Friday. Edinburgh Schools Partnership (ESP), which operates the schools, could not provide safety assurances. 17 Total number shut 7,000 Pupil numbers 10 Primaries 5 Secondaries 2 Additional support needs Council official Mr Kerr said: "We were unable to have the time to put contingency arrangements in place to ensure pupils could continue their education." He added that the health and safety of pupils was the priority, along with ensuring the right arrangements were in place for parents and pupils. Mr Kerr said: "We expect some parts of some schools to be considered for re-opening this week. The council said it hoped to have more information for parents on Tuesday and would be keeping them informed through its website. Priority will be given to helping students with special needs and those due to start their exams in a few weeks' time. EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan called for a review of all PPP and similar private finance initiative (PFI) deals. He said: "The EIS welcomes that the safety of pupils and staff is being treated as a priority, while recognising that these short-notice closures will be highly inconvenient for pupils and parents. "However, we must also question how such significant defaults could escape normal building control scrutiny and we believe it is now necessary for an urgent review of all PPP/PFI contracts, including the terms of the private maintenance contracts which are often both expensive and extremely restrictive." Ms Constance told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: "The situation is deeply concerning. I want to reassure parents that the safety of pupils is paramount. "The Scottish government expects all local authorities to exercise their duties in the provision of education in a safe environment. "The immediate priority is to ensure that everything is being done to support children." She added: "We will certainly need answers about what went wrong and why. "There are, of course, big questions about PFI contracts. It's no secret that this government has long-standing concern but I've no doubt that when parliament reconvenes in three or four weeks' time that there will be renewed interest in this area." The Scottish government has asked all councils across Scotland to conduct "any necessary checks" on their own buildings and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon chaired an emergency meeting of the government's resilience committee on Saturday. Lindsay Cairns' daughter is in primary one at Oxgangs Primary School. She said: "I don't know if I'm going to have to have time off next week to look after her. "I've spoken to my manager. We have to wait and see what the council are going to come back with. "I'd like to think there's going to be an update and a contingency plan put in place but to me I'd rather have had that contingency plan before now." Rachel Bhandari's son is nine years old and has cerebral palsy. His special school is closed until further notice. She and her husband have spent the weekend trying to organise childcare as they both work. Ms Bhandari said: "It presents us with a really big difficulty really. We were expecting the school to be open. "We were told earlier in the week that it was going to be open and then just to find out on Friday that it's not is a nightmare." The problems were first uncovered in January when a wall at Oxgangs Primary collapsed during high winds. Three other schools were later closed after inspections revealed problems with the way walls had been built. Amy, 16, a pupil at Firrhill High School, told BBC Scotland: "It's quite disruptive because we need to finish the coursework and we need to do unit assessments, and they were meant to be happening this week but now they'll have to be done later. "It's been open for 10 years, the part of the building that was built, and it hasn't fallen down yet. There's no storm just now. Nothing's going to happen." A licensing system will be in place for the 10th year running, which limits the number of people allowed to gather cockles. Recent surveys show "very good stocks" which Natural Resources Wales said was "due in part to the way the fishery was managed last year". There are 53 licensed cocklers on the Dee. Before licensing was introduced, there was a "boom and bust" cycle in the industry. When stocks were high, the beds would be cleared quickly by hundreds of cocklers, which resulted in the beds being closed for several years. They were also closed for a period in 2015 due to over harvesting and illegal picking.

The Greenpeace activists hung a banner to protest against what they say is the government's failure to act on renewable energy and climate change. They have secured themselves with climbing ropes and harnesses. A review of security procedures has been ordered but authorities said the protesters must climb down themselves. The protest began at dawn when the four climbed to the ledge above the main entrance with the banner and solar panels. Speaking from a mobile phone, Greenpeace activist Johno Smith told the Associated Press that they were experienced climbers and would come down Thursday afternoon once they had got their message out and "before it gets too cold". "We need to take clean-energy action," he said. "Our society is based around fossil fuels." David Stevenson, the general manager of Parliamentary Service, said he had ordered a full review of security procedures as a result of the breach. "Trespassing in or on the buildings is totally inappropriate, regardless of the motivations of those involved," he said in a statement quoted by the AP news agency. "We are therefore taking this incident very seriously and will be looking for any lessons we can draw from it," he said. Robert Douglas, 57, was found guilty of offences dating back to the 1970s and 1980s. He was jailed for seven years at the High Court in Edinburgh, where judge Edward Bowen QC told him: "The fact of the matter is justice has now caught up with you." As Douglas was led away, a woman sitting in the public benches said: "I hope you rot in hell." Defence counsel Neil Murray QC had told the court: "He is under no illusions about the gravity of the offences." Douglas was placed on the sex offenders register. The Canadian star racked up 4.7 billion streams this year, more than half of which were for his album Views. That's despite the album being withheld from Spotify for two weeks as part of a deal with Apple Music. One Dance alone was streamed 960 million times. Played consecutively, that would take more than 5,200 years. The song's popularity on streaming services - including Deezer and Google Play as well as Spotify and Apple - helped it spend 15 weeks on top of the official UK singles chart, the longest run since Bryan Adams Everything I Do (I Do It For You) in 1991. It is now Spotify's most-streamed song of all time, earning Drake and his co-writers an estimated $4.8m (£3.9m) in royalties. Rihanna - who counts Drake as a collaborator and boyfriend - was Spotify's most-streamed female artist of 2016, while former One Direction star Zayn Malik was the biggest new act of the year. David Bowie became the most listened-to "alternative" artist, following his death in January. The Beatles, who only released their albums to streaming services last December, quickly became the biggest classic rock act.

The cost of the project had previously been estimated at £45m. Procurement expert John McClelland has made a number of recommendations which will be considered by councillors. He was commissioned by councillors earlier this year to examine the reasons for the spiralling cost of the project. He was also asked to identify lessons that could be learned. His report concluded that the international benchmarking approach, which formed the basis of the original project cost estimates, was not robust enough to address the challenges associated with Japanese architect Kengo Kuma's award-winning design. The report said: "As the detailed design process moved forward, it became apparent that the technical requirements and construction method involved would place real pressure on the budget." Referring to the lack of reporting to councillors since 2011, Mr MClelland said: "Although a partnership joint venture, the council carries a significant element of the risks involved in this transformational investment in the city and it is important that scrutiny and assurance arrangements are effective." In summary, he said: "In my opinion this project had, from the beginning, little prospect of being delivered for the original budget due to an accumulation of factors that mitigated against that outcome being achieved." He said the fact that the below-average estimate was also expected to cater for a building built offshore added to the risk. Mr McClelland also said it was not clear if the judging panel of the winning design had access to concerns about cost estimates raised by independent professionals. As a result it may not have been possible at that stage to appreciate that the complexity of the winning design could result in significantly higher costs. Recommendations included: Mr McClelland said that since January this year, a project board had been established and regular progress reports would be submitted to the council's policy and resources committee at key stages in the development. Councillor Ken Guild, convener of the policy and resources committee, said: "We are working with our partners and BAM Construction to ensure that this unique building helps boost the economy, cultural offer and confidence of our city.‎ "Mr McClelland's expertise has helped identify a number of issues which will help us on other capital projects as well. "Construction of the V&A Dundee is now under way and the project is proceeding successfully." A Scottish government spokesman said: "We welcome the McClelland report and the comprehensive analysis of the project it provides, as well as Dundee City Council's response to the report and the actions they are taking to address the recommendations. "V&A Dundee will be an iconic statement at the heart of the Dundee Waterfront development. "The signature building will create local jobs and contribute significantly to the regeneration of Dundee and its waterfront, giving the city and Scotland a world-class design museum and visitor attraction." The outcome of the review will be considered by councillors on Monday 24 August. Their version of Smith's hit - recorded as this year's official Comic Relief song - held off Years & Years' track King by 9,000 combined chart sales. Smith's original album rendition was at number 19 after 45 weeks on the chart. But the singer was knocked off the top of the album chart by rapper Kendrick Lamar, who scored his first UK number one with To Pimp a Butterfly. Last week it was revealed the album had set a new record on Spotify after it had been streamed 9.6 million times worldwide in one day. Elsewhere in the singles chart, FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney climbed two places to number three. The Official Charts Company said the song was the week's most-streamed track with 1.98 million streams. James Bay's Hold Back The River climbed six places to four, while Ellie Goulding completed the top five with her former number one, Love Me Like You Do. In the album chart, Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler entered the chart at three - the highest-charting album of his career - with Tracker. Ed Sheeran's X was at number four after 39 weeks in the chart, with Van Morrison's latest record, Duets - Re-working The Catalogue, another new entry at five. REM's 1992 album Automatic For The People also made its first top 40 appearance in 15 years, re-entering at number 40. Ronald Pfumbidzai put the hosts ahead in a Group B match they had to win to keep alive their hopes of qualification for the quarter-finals. Nigerian Stanley Ohawuchi levelled against the run of play before half-time for five-time African champions Zamalek. After the Egyptian club had a goal controversially disallowed for offside, Amidu put the Zimbabweans ahead again on 75 minutes and added a third in stoppage time. CAPS are away to leaders USM Alger of Algeria next Sunday in the final series of group fixtures and must win to finish in the top two and make the last eight of the elite African club competition. Zamalek must also win at home against Al Ahly Tripoli, if they are to avoid a shock elimination. USM and Ahly Tripoli - who drew 1-1 on Friday night - have eight points, CAPS six and Zamalek five in one of the most competitive of the four groups. A weak clearance by the Egyptian "White Knights" offered Pfumbidzai the chance to fire past goalkeeper Ahmed El Shenawy for the opening goal on 31 minutes. Zamalek levelled off a counter-attack with goalkeeper Prosper Chigumba parrying a shot from Ohawuchi, but he was not able to prevent it looping into the net. Amidu collected a Ronald Chitiyo pass and fired home to put CAPS ahead again and then raced from his own half with the ball before shooting past El Shenawy on 94 minutes. Zamalek last won the Champions League in 2002 while CAPS are competing in the group stage for the first time. The Zimbabweans pulled off the biggest shock of the qualifying rounds this season by eliminating five-time African champions TP Mazembe from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Scott Nicholls, 41, from Taunton, Somerset, pleaded guilty to a string of sex offences at Cardiff Crown Court. The paedophile was caught when he travelled to the Premier Inn hotel in Bridgend to meet the girl and was arrested by waiting police officers. He was sentenced to six years with an extension of four years on Friday. In total, he pleaded guilty to 19 charges, including attempting to incite girls, possessing indecent images of children, the distribution of indecent images of children and causing a child to watch a sexual activity. The court heard how between 16 and 26 June, Nicholls attempted to groom a 12-year-old girl called "Welsh Beth" online - who was in fact the undercover South Wales Police officer. Nicholls suggested they meet up and, on 26 June, arrived at the hotel where he was confronted by police. The court heard he had a bag containing sexual items including two sets of handcuffs, bondage restraints and a camcorder. When caught, he told police: "I knew this was a set up. My life is ruined." After being caught, police searched his home where they found indecent images and videos on his computer. They also uncovered further cases where Nicholls had tried to groom young girls through chat rooms, several of whom police discovered to be men themselves. Nicholls had worked as an ambulance care assistant, was a cub scout leader in Taunton for boys and girls aged eight to 10 and volunteered at the 2012 London Olympics. Prosecuting, Andrew Davies said: "The tenor of the conversations and the actions of the defendant demonstrates he is not only a predatory paedophile but a persistent one at that." Defending, Kevin Seal said Nicholls realised he "had a problem" which he acknowledged had been growing since possibly 2005. "It's reached a stage now where it does need treatment and Mr Nicholls is the first to acknowledge that," he added. Judge Eleri Rees said a psychiatric report reached the conclusion Nicholls had "a clear pathological sexual interest in young and very young children" and that he "suffered from paedophilia". She added he posed a "very high risk of serious harm towards children". Irna quoted Tehran prosecutor general Abbas Jafari-Dowlatabadi as saying the suspect had "been active in the economic field, related to Iran". He did not name the individual. However, the UK Foreign Office said it was seeking information following the "reported detention of a dual Iranian-British national in Iran". Iran's Revolutionary Guards have detained at least six other dual nationals since last year and accused them of security-related offences. They include the British-Iranian charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was arrested at Tehran's airport in April as she tried to return to the UK after a holiday with her two-year-old daughter, Gabriella. Her husband Richard Ratcliffe told the BBC on Monday that the allegation that she was involved in trying to overthrow the regime in Iran was "absurd". Mr Jafari-Dowlatabadi announced last month that Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe faced trial by a Revolutionary Court - a closed-door tribunal which handles security-related cases - along with US-Iranian businessman Siamak Namazi, Canadian-Iranian academic Homa Hoodfar and Nizar Zakka, a Lebanese permanent resident of the US. Iran does not recognise dual nationality, which prevents relevant foreign diplomats gaining access to citizens being detained. That figure is the recommendation of the panel that was tasked with setting MLAs' expenses and salaries. After the assembly election, the UUP and SDLP said they would not go into the executive and went into opposition. Now the Independent Financial Review Panel (IFRP) has written to assembly speaker Robin Newton saying pay must reflect the reality of opposition. At present MLAs are paid £49,000 a year, whilst ministers below the level of first and deputy first ministers are on £87,000. The review panel recommends opposition leaders, who are entitled to a seat in the executive but who do not take one, should get £68,000. The panel, whose term of office ended last week, also recommends opposition leaders should get support staff. Panel member Alan McQuillan told the BBC: "Our responsibility was to look at expenses and salaries payable to people and to make sure they were fair in comparison to the jobs they did." He added: "They were quite clearly new jobs. They had additional responsibilities. "We thought it would be fair to pitch them somewhere between the salary of a Minister and an ordinary MLA. So we thought they needed more salary but we also felt to do their job effectively they needed additional expenses." The panel's proposals have received a cold response from the political parties. On Tuesday, the UUP said they were sceptical of the need for an increased salary for opposition leaders. A spokeswoman told the BBC they wanted extra resources for support and research. A DUP spokesman said: "Provision for opposition research funding has already been made. The question of further funding is a matter for the parties in the assembly but we are not persuaded of the need to fund specific opposition posts where there is little additional responsibility." A Sinn Féin representative said: "The proposal for increases in salaries and resources for opposition leaders, as mooted by former members of the IFRP, is not included in the Fresh Start Agreement". The SDLP declined to comment. The letter to Assembly speaker Robin Newton from the chairperson of the Independent Financial Review Panel, Pat McCartan, is one of the last acts of the organisation. The body has been wound up after its term of office ended last week. It will now be up to MLAs to consider a replacement body and make alternative arrangements. Key decisions lie ahead, especially now that Stormont has a formal opposition. Dominic Smith was amused that the 07:55 journey from Cambridge called at "Letchworth, thence King's Cross". He tweeted "wow" and said he had not seen the Middle English word used on a train platform before. Greater Anglia, which manages the station, said it was a "one-off" and not a word staff would be using again. Click here for more up-to-date news from Cambridgeshire "The word 'thence' was added to one destination board this morning for the 07:55 Cambridge to King's Cross service. It is the first and last time it will be used at a Greater Anglia station," a spokeswoman for the operator said. "It was a one-off and not a word we'll be using again." The station manager had assured the company "thence" would not appear at the Cambridge station in the future, she added. Dr Bettina Beinhoff, senior lecturer in applied linguistics and English language at Anglia Ruskin University, said: "According to the Oxford English Dictionary, thence is a Middle English word meaning 'from a place'. "It is associated with archaic language and is now only occasionally used in formal contexts, so it is quite unexpected to see this word in such a modern setting." The OED further classifies Middle English as the historical period spanning 1150 to 1500. Anthony Davies, 48, from Gorslas, Carmarthenshire, was said to be the driving force at Clear Energy UK Ltd. He was given a suspended sentence at Swansea Crown Court along with his partner, Jodie Davies, 43, and father, John Davies, 69. The prosecution was brought by Swansea council trading standards department. The court was told the company had offered to install solar panels to generate money for farmers. But they were never supplied and the money was used to keep other businesses afloat. Lee Reynolds, prosecuting, said officers started an investigation after receiving complaints. Under the industry's code of conduct, deposits and advance payments should have been kept in a bank account separate from the business. Investigators had expected to find £235,000 in that account but discovered it was £5 in the red. Anthony and Jodie Davies admitted three trading standards offences. John Davies, from Hendre, near Ammanford, admitted aiding and abetting them. The court heard that £160,000 would be repaid from a new business venture set up by Anthony and Jodie Davies. Judge Peter Heywood said he would have jailed the trio but that would have meant people they cheated would not receive compensation. He ordered that £130,000 must be paid within 28 days and the outstanding £30,000 within 18 months. The bank said the 25 basis point cut was due to global growth worries and weaker demand from China - an important trade partner. New Zealand is the world's largest dairy exporter but the sector has been facing some challenges. The central bank signalled it could cut rates further to help boost growth. The New Zealand dollar fell on the news by more than 1%. The RBNZ last cut rates in December from 2.75% to 2.5%, saying the country's economy had softened in 2015. At the time, central bank governor Graeme Wheeler said he was positive about the outlook for inflation and economic growth for 2016. However, as he announced the bank's latest cut, Mr Wheeler said the outlook for global growth had worsened since the December cut "due to weaker growth in China and other emerging markets, and slower growth in Europe." Mr Wheeler's announcement comes ahead of a European Central Bank (ECB) meeting later on Thursday. The ECB is widely expected to announce further stimulus measures to help bolster the eurozone's economic recovery. Agriculture is an economic mainstay in New Zealand, particularly its dairy sector. The country exports some 95% of its milk production, with 87% of that collected by Fonterra, the world's biggest dairy exporter. But New Zealand's dairy exports have been hurt by falling prices internationally together with a slowdown of its major trading partner China - a big buyer of its dairy products. "Domestically, the dairy sector faces difficult challenges," Mr Wheeler said. Inflation has also been a concern for the country, with its annual rate at 0.1%. The bank's target is between 1% and 3%. Lowering benchmark lending rates is seen as one way to increase inflation. Mr Wheeler's outlook was not altogether negative, however. He said the country's growth was expected to be supported "by strong inward migration, tourism, a pipeline of construction activity, and accommodative monetary policy". The star's admission came in recently-unsealed documents from a 2005 civil case, in which Andrea Constand accused the star of drugging and molesting her. In their first comment since the papers were made public this month, Mr Cosby's lawyers said he did not admit to giving any women drugs without their consent. He has denied all claims of sex abuse. The Cosby Show star is facing a series of historic sexual assault allegations dating back several decades, but has not been charged with any crimes. Court documents relating to the 2005 case brought by Ms Constand - an employee at Temple University in the 1970s - were published earlier this month, after the Associated Press news agency applied to a judge to have the sealed papers made public. They revealed Mr Cosby had admitted obtaining Quaaludes from several doctors to give to women before sexual encounters, but did not take them himself. However Mr Cosby's lawyers said he had in fact "admitted to nothing more than being one of the many people who introduced Quaaludes into their consensual sex life in the 1970s. "Quaaludes were a highly popular recreational drug in the 1970s, labelled in slang as 'disco biscuits,' and known for their capacity to increase sexual arousal. "There are countless tales of celebrities, music stars, and wealthy socialites in the 1970s willingly using Quaaludes for recreational purposes and during consensual sex," they said. Mr Cosby's legal team - Patrick O'Connor and George Gowen - has filed new court papers in an attempt to stop the judge unsealing the full set of documents from Ms Constand's case, including the confidential settlement agreement. After excerpts were unsealed earlier this month, the New York Times published further details at the weekend after obtaining the complete file from a court reporting service. Mr Cosby's lawyers have argued that all parties had agreed to keep documents from the case confidential as part of an out-of-court settlement and that Ms Constand was now trying to "smear the defendant" by helping to leak them to the New York Times. They said that the media, "armed with only one side of the story", had "cavalierly misinterpreted" Mr Cosby's evidence. They added that at no point had the entertainer admitted to having any non-consensual sex or giving any women drugs without their knowledge. "Yet, upon the unsealing of these excerpt, the media immediately pounced, inaccurately labelling the release testimony as [Cosby's] 'confession' of 'drugging' women and assaulting them," they said. "Reading the media accounts, one would conclude that [Cosby] has admitted to rape. And yet [he] admitted to nothing more than being one of the many people who introduced Quaaludes into their consensual sex life in the 1970s." Cosby had said in court that he would offer the drug "the same as a person would say, 'have a drink,'", but that the only drug he gave Ms Constand was the allergy medicine Benadryl. More than twelve women have accused Cosby of sexual assault, but he has denied all of the claims. 2002: Lachele Covington, a 20-year-old actress, reportedly files a police report saying she had been inappropriately touched. No further action was taken. 2005: Andrea Constand sues Mr Cosby for sexual assault. The case is eventually settled out of court in 2006. 2014: Over the year, dozens of women make public accusations that Mr Cosby sexually assaulted them. Live shows are cancelled across the country amid protests November 2014: TV network NBC scraps plans for a new show with the comedian following allegations by TV presenter Janice Dickinson that he had assaulted her in 1982. Repeats of the Cosby Show are also pulled from cable TV December 2014: Judy Huth sues Mr Cosby for molesting her in 1974 when she was 15 years old. Mr Cosby counter-sues, claiming she is trying to extort money from him May 2015: Mr Cosby speaks publicly about the allegations for the first time. "I can't speak; I just don't want to argue; I don't talk about it," he told ABC News. July 2015: Court papers made public from Constand's 2005 civil case reveal Mr Cosby admitted obtaining sedatives with the intent of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with. Roberts was at Twickenham in October for the Pumas' 33-21 loss to Australia. "They'll play from their own half and they have big carriers, a physical side" he told BBC Wales Sport. "Argentina will pose a similar threat [to Australia], with speed out wide. If we allow them speed of ball and space, it'll be another tough day." "What we didn't do [against Australia], we have to do next week and that's meet them [on the gain-line] and stop their momentum" he added. Argentina were 43-20 winners over Ireland in the 2015 World Cup on their last visit to Cardiff, and face Wales off the back of a 54-20 victory over Japan in Tokyo. Wales should have Jonathan Davies available for selection in the second Autumn series game on Saturday, 12 November after a tight hamstring saw the centre pull out of the Wallabies encounter. Full-back Liam Williams should also be fit again, flanker Sam Warburton played 80 minutes on his return for Cardiff Blues in Treviso, and lock Alun Wyn Jones is likely to be available after his family bereavement. Improving Pumas Roberts was one of only two Wales players to feature in a victory over Australia, back in 2008, but could not add another victory against the Wallabies on his 84th appearance for Wales. "It's certainly a kick up the backside, we go into training and we have to address the issues. We've got to learn from it, I think the main thing to learn is to slow their speed of the ball. Argentina are a formidable outfit this year, I think they've improved a lot in these last few years" he said. Roberts, who was partnered by Scott Williams after the late withdrawal of Jonathan Davies with a tight hamstring, says the scoreline has to galvanise the Welsh squad. "It has to, but a lot of us have been there before. It was a bad day at the office but the guys will dust themselves off quickly and go again." Moriarty bonus One of the few positive points for Wales from the Australia match was the form of Ross Moriarty, with the Gloucester back-rower impressing in the number eight shirt. He was playing his first international in the position in the absence of Taulupe Faletau. "Personally I enjoyed the game, I felt comfortable at eight. Everyone's been saying how I'd never played at eight before but it didn't faze me. "It's not too different [from flanker], my game's based round carrying and tackling and that's what I did. I just had to control the ball a bit more at the scrum and I felt comfortable. I'm just doing all I can to keep the coaches questioning who they pick." It is the lowest April government borrowing figure since April 2008, when public borrowing stood at £2.5bn. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) also revised its previous estimate of borrowing for the full financial year up slightly to £87.7bn, from £87.3bn. But that was still comfortably below the government's target of £90.3bn. As it is the start of the financial year, little can be gleamed from the public borrowing figures as yet. And as the ONS itself warned on Friday, borrowing figures in the first few months of the financial year are often subject to big revisions. But in his March Budget, Chancellor George Osborne forecast public sector net borrowing would amount to £75.3bn this financial year. Last month, official figures showed the economy grew by 0.3% in the three months to the end of March, compared with 0.6% in the last three months of the year. Mr Osborne plans to hold a new Budget on 8 July, when he is expected to outline his strategy to eliminate the deficit by the end of 2017 and achieve a Budget surplus in 2018-19. It is expected he will outline £30bn of spending cuts to government departments, including £12bn of cuts to welfare spending. It is also possible the chancellor may revise the government's borrowing targets. A Treasury spokesman said the borrowing figures showed the government's deficit reduction plan was working, with borrowing in April £2.5bn lower than the same month a year ago. "We have more than halved the deficit, but at just under 5%, it is still one of the highest in the developed world," the Treasury official said. "There is no shortcut to fixing the public finances, so we have to continue with the hard work of identifying savings and making reforms necessary to finish the job and build a resilient economy." Former Labour Welsh Secretary Lord Murphy said there was a trend towards Remain as voters began to make up their minds. He was one of several senior Labour figures pushing the pro-EU cause in Pontypridd on Monday. But UKIP Wales' Nathan Gill said there is a growing trend towards Leave that "hasn't changed". Campaigning for Thursday's referendum had been put on hold for more than two days following the killing of Labour MP Jo Cox. Lord Murphy joined another former Welsh Secretary, Lord Hain, and past and present First Ministers Rhodri Morgan and Carwyn Jones on the streets of Pontypridd amid claims that undecided voters in the south Wales valleys were leaning towards Brexit. "The campaign has been difficult," Lord Murphy admitted. "There's no question about that, particularly in the south Wales valleys seats where there has been quite a support for Leave." However, he claimed there was "a definite change in mood" and "a trend towards Remain". "Because people are starting to think that the big decision day is coming on Thursday, they have to make their mind up, and as a consequence of that they're thinking carefully now," he said. Lord Murphy said voters were not just considering immigration, "which clearly has been an issue, but also about the economic factors that could actually affect their communities and their selves". However, UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill claimed momentum was with the Leave side, and denied any change of mood following the death of Ms Cox. "In recent weeks we have seen a growing trend towards a vote to leave the EU, and that doesn't appear to have changed in light of the tragic events of last week," he said. "As we approach polling day I am sensing a shift in mood, particularly on economic issues, and I believe that voters have grown wary of the shock and awe tactics deployed by Remain campaigners. "This is also a once-in-a-generation opportunity to put power back in the hands of locally accountable lawmakers - not unelected Eurocrats. "That's a positive message that continues to resonate, even in areas viewed as being most in favour of remaining in the EU." The move has been rejected by parliament, which said Venezuelans and the international community would not recognise the new powers. President Nicolas Maduro says the new assembly will end the deadly political unrest in the country. But many have called it a slide towards dictatorship. The head of the Organization of American States (OAS) Luis Almagro called the move an "illegitimate dissolution" of the elected parliament. Meanwhile the heads of the parliament and the new assembly have been trading insults on social media. Parliament head Julio Borges accused the new assembly of a "coup" while new assembly head Delcy Rodriguez - a close ally of Mr Maduro - denounced his "lies". Mr Maduro's wife and son are among the 545 members of the new assembly, which was set up following a controversial election earlier this month. More than 120 people have been killed in violent protests since April. The president's opponents want to hold a vote to remove him, blaming his left-wing administration for food shortages and soaring inflation in the oil-rich country. Constituent assemblies are set up for the specific purpose of drafting or adopting a constitution, and as such can fundamentally change how a country is run. Venezuela seen waves of violent protests, and Mr Maduro presented the assembly as a way of promoting "reconciliation and peace". An ally of Mr Maduro, former foreign minister Delcy Rodriguez, is president of the new body The election for the constituent assembly was marred by violence and accusations of fraud. Venezuela's electoral authorities said more than eight million people, or 41.5% of the electorate, had voted, a figure the company that provided the voting system said was inflated. The opposition boycotted the poll and also held an unofficial referendum in which they said more than seven million Venezuelans voted against the constituent assembly. The US has imposed sanctions on Mr Maduro, with the Trump administration calling him a "dictator". The European Union and major Latin American nations say they will not recognise the new body. Mr Maduro retains a major ally in Russia, however, and has the support of several left-wing nations in the Americas. Mayor Buddy Dyer said the building was of "great significance" as it was the site of "the most tragic event that has ever occurred" in Orlando's history. Local media reported that the site would cost the city $2.25m (£1.8m). The attack was the worst mass shooting in recent US history. Omar Mateen took hostages inside the club on a Saturday night when 300 people were there. People hid in toilets and dressing rooms to try to escape the gunman. He shot his victims with an automatic weapon and a handgun and was later killed by police. The co-called Islamic State group (IS) claimed him as one its fighters. But his father said the attack had nothing to do with religion, but that his son had harboured anti-gay views. And it emerged that Mateen had visited the club and was known there as a gay man. What is internalised homophobia? Since the attack, many people from across the US have visited the Pulse building to pay their respects. Mayor Dyer said in a video posted to Twitter that the club had "great significance not just for the LGBT community and the Hispanic community but for all of us who live in and love Orlando". He said consultations would be held with community groups to determine the form the memorial would take. The city will maintain it for 12 to 18 months "so that people from around the country and world who want to visit the site can do so", he added. A separatist group, the Republic of South Moluccas (RMS), has asked a court to order his detention in connection with alleged human rights violations. Mr Yudhoyono said that if he had gone ahead with the three-day visit, it might have led to a "misunderstanding". Indonesian authorities crushed the RMS after it declared independence in 1950. Indonesia flashpoints: The Moluccas It was revived following the fall of President Suharto in 1998, and is currently based in the Netherlands, Indonesia's former colonial power. From 1999 until 2002, ethnic violence in the Moluccas islands left an estimated 5,000 people dead and displaced 500,000 others. A spokeswoman for a court in The Hague confirmed that the RMS had asked for an injunction to have Mr Yudhoyono arrested on arrival. The group wanted him to face prosecution for the alleged human rights violations and the physical abuse of political prisoners, she added. Mr Yudhoyono was reportedly already onboard his plane at Jakarta's airport on Tuesday when he decided to cancel the state visit. "In recent days, a group has filed a request to the court to make an issue out of human rights in Indonesia and request the court to arrest me during the state visit to the Netherlands," he told reporters afterwards. "What I cannot accept is if the president of Indonesia makes a visit to the Netherlands, after an invitation from the Netherlands, the court decides to arrest the president of Indonesia." The BBC contacted the Dutch embassy in Jakarta about the president's plans but they had no comment. If left untreated, bracken would colonise swathes of the dune system at Murlough on the County Down coast. Dune heath is a key habitat, and 16% of the UK total is in the 700-acre site between Dundrum and Newcastle. It is home to a range of plant and animal life and a huge variety of moths and butterflies. There are 700 types of moth and 23 types of butterfly found at Murlough. The bracken is being removed partly to help them and to manage the habitat. "Bracken can become invasive," said Patrick Lynch, a conservation ranger at the site. "It can become quite dense, the fronds get quite high and then nothing can grow underneath it." The bracken is beaten down so that heathers and other plants that attract moths and butterflies can grow. Almost 30 acres of bracken is removed each year by the National Trust, which manages Murlough. They use a combination of rolling and spraying for the task. The site is also managed by using livestock. Cattle and 10 Exmoor ponies are allowed to graze in the area to help to keep the bracken down and let other plants flourish. The bracken is favoured by some butterflies, but it needs to be kept in check. Conservation workers hope the bracken-clearing initiative will provide a "mosaic of habitats" and balance the interests of all the animals and insects on the reserve. The four officials were dismissed and several others disciplined for failing to prevent risk, but no action has been taken against more senior, city-level officials. A report released by investigators said district police and officials had been aware of growing crowds on the Bund riverfront walk, but failed to act or report the danger to higher authorities. "We hope that holding people accountable is the starting point, so that all staff in relevant departments will be more aware of their responsibilities and take measures to prevent such incidents in future," an article in the Beijing News says. The China Daily bemoans the fact that no municipal officials have been punished so far, and urges the Shanghai mayor to apologise. "The mayor can never shirk his responsibility for the incompetence of district leaders under his leadership," it says. But a Beijing Youth Daily commentary is more cautious, warning that "one cannot conclude that top-level officials should be held responsible" before a thorough investigation has been carried out. It also defends investigators from accusations that they were reluctant to question any officials "We believe that the team will not disappoint the Beijing government and will eventually give the public a convincing conclusion," the article - which was subsequently deleted from the paper's website - concludes. In international news, papers lash out at US President Barack Obama for criticising China over trade issues in his State of the Union address. "China wants to write the rules for the world's fastest-growing region," he told Congress on Tuesday. "That would put our workers and our businesses at a disadvantage. Why would we let that happen? We should write those rules. We should level the playing field." China has pushed for a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) agreement, seen by some observers as a potential rival to the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership that involves 12 regional countries, but excludes China. A commentary in the overseas edition of the People's Daily suggests Mr Obama's criticism of China is a sign of growing US weakness. "In the past, the US was always seeking to promote an open global system, now it can only push for regional US-Asia or US-Europe trade deals, and has adopted an exclusive approach," the paper says. "This shows that Washington's ability to shape and lead the international system is declining." It also urges the US to show understanding for countries "that are catching up", accusing it of refusing to "co-operate with them on the same platform". Zha Xiaogang, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute for International Studies, tells the Global Times that China does not seek to become the "rule-maker", but is "more interested in developing an economy that aims at creating mutual benefits". "Mr Obama's address indicates that the US still wants to dominate the world," Mr Zha says. "They worry that China's fast development will challenge the status of the US." Li Haidong of the China Foreign Affairs University urges the US to "pay more attention to developing co-operation with China instead of excluding China in its regional trade pacts". And finally, papers welcome the abolition of a target-based assessment method for law enforcement officials. The Commission for Political and Legal Affairs - the leading organ responsible for supervising law-enforcement and judicial institutions - announced on Tuesday that it will abolish "unreasonable" targets for measures such as arrests, prosecutions and convictions. Backing the move, an article in the China Youth Daily points out that the assessment method was controversial in the past, as there were doubts on whether such a system is "scientific and reasonable". "We often see that 100% or 99% of the crimes were solved or criminals convicted. But behind these figures, were some people being wrongfully convicted?" the article wonders.

Amazon, along with Swansea University's new campus and the Bay Studios are on Fabian Way which crosses the Neath Port Talbot and Swansea council boundary. The planned £1bn Swansea Bay Tidal lagoon will also end near the road. Now, the aim is to attract research, development and technology companies who can fill vacant land and make the most of what is already there. Swansea and Neath Port Talbot councils are looking at how they can work together more closely on planning for the route. "There's a game-changing opportunity to transform Fabian Way into an innovation corridor that will greatly benefit local people and the Swansea Bay City region as a whole," said Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea council's cabinet member for enterprise, development and regeneration. Neath Port Talbot council leader Ali Thomas added: "Opportunities such as the new Bay Campus only come along once in a lifetime. We are committed to working together to make the most of these developments to benefit communities and businesses in the whole of the region." Both councils will consider a draft document for working together and then a public consultation will take place. The move is an implementation of UN sanctions, which were imposed in response to North Korea's two missile tests last month. China accounts for more than 90% of North Korea's international trade. Beijing had pledged to fully enforce the sanctions after the US accused it of not doing enough to rein in its neighbour. The UN approved sanctions against Pyongyang earlier this month that could cost the country $1bn (£770m) a year in revenue, according to the figures provided to the Security Council by the US delegation. Although China's coal imports from North Korea totalled $1.2bn last year, the figure will be much lower this year because China had already imposed a ban in February, experts said. "China has already imported its quota of coal under sanctions for 2017. So no net impact there, and North Korean exports to other countries are minimal," said David Von Hippel, from the Nautilus Institute -a think tank based in Oregon -who has researched North Korea's coal sector. The sanctions might have more of an impact on iron and seafood, experts said. Although they are both much smaller sources of export revenue for North Korea, the two industries have seen a rise in exports this year. Iron ore exports grew to $74.4m in the first five months of this year, almost equalling the figure for all of 2016. Fish and seafood imports totalled $46.7m in June, up from $13.6m in May. The sanctions do not apply to the growing clothing assembly industry in North Korea. Mr Von Hippel said in gross terms, it is nearly as large as coal, but in reality it is worth much less because North Korea has to import the inputs. The sanctions come against a backdrop of increased tensions between the US and North Korea, as well as heightened trade tensions between the US and China. After weeks of heated rhetoric between the US and North Korea, on Tuesday North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un has decided to hold off on a strike towards the US territory of Guam, state news agency KCNA reported. The apparent pause in escalating tensions comes after US President Donald Trump warned of "fire and fury like the world has never seen" if Pyongyang persisted with its threats. On Monday, the US President Donald Trump ordered a trade probe into China's alleged theft of US intellectual property, which the Chinese state press saw as an attempt to force China to act more decisively on North Korea. Officially, the US has denied any link between the two issues, although the president had previously suggested he might take a softer line on China in exchange for help on North Korea.

This follows two separate leaks to BBC News of A&E data for January, which suggested the worst performance by hospitals since records began. NHS England and the regulator NHS Improvement have been told by the UK Statistics Authority to review the practice of publishing the data six weeks after collecting it. Their leaders have been asked to "to determine how you could reduce the time lag in publication". The call for a review comes in a letter from Ed Humpherson, director general for regulation at the authority, to those who chair the organisations. NHS problems unacceptable, says Hunt 10 charts that show why the NHS is in trouble What's causing hospital delays? The two leaks of A&E statistics to BBC News came from management information collected by NHS Improvement. The second leak - relating to the full month of January - suggested that from a total of more than 1.4 million attendances at A&E: At the time the leaked data, obtained by BBC reporter Faye Kirkland, was dismissed as incomplete by NHS sources. Mr Humpherson described the leaks of management information as "a disorderly release of data", which had created "a confused picture". But, in what amounts to a rap over the knuckles, he goes on to urge the NHS organisations to "undertake the appropriate reviews of how this management information is used and shared". Embarrassingly for NHS leaders, the Statistics Authority chief criticises the publication policy for A&E attendance stats. In the summer of 2015, NHS England announced it would stop publishing this data weekly and would shift to a monthly cycle to "standardise reporting arrangements" with other information such as cancer waiting times and ambulance response times. This was criticised at the time as a reduction in timely information flow from hospitals, especially during winter months. Mr Humpherson notes that the monthly publication policy creates a six-week lag for A&E data, which "leaves the system vulnerable to leaks because management information circulates around the NHS system for operational purposes well in advance of the publication of the statistics". He has called on the NHS bodies to review the "timeliness" of the official performance data by the end of April and talks of the importance of "maintaining trust". In effect, the statistics watchdog is saying that if the information is available to NHS managers in January, it should also be made available to the media and the public rather than held until March for publication. It amounts to a warning to NHS England that leaks are inevitable under the current arrangements. A spokesperson for NHS England said: "UKSA has approached the NHS following a leak of unvalidated NHS improvement material to the BBC ahead of its official publication, and NHS Improvement is now considering with other national bodies how best to ensure timely official publication while ensuring this doesn't happen again." This will no doubt create headaches for NHS chiefs who have tried hard to justify the adoption of monthly rather than weekly data releases. Their case was weakened when the Scottish government opted to move to a weekly A&E publication schedule just as NHS England was going in the opposite direction. And the case has certainly been weakened even further by the UK Statistics Authority's intervention and what amounts to a clarion call for transparency.

Media playback is not supported on this device The former Manchester United midfielder part-owns Salford with former Class of 92 team-mates Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and Gary and Phil Neville. He accepts the aim, which requires four promotions, needs outside investment. As Salford revealed plans to increase their Moor Lane ground capacity to 5,108, Scholes said: "You sense something big is happening and we want to take it as far as we possibly can." The work at Moor Lane will start this winter, once planning permission has been secured. Supporters and local residents have already given their blessing to the plans, which include renovation of all four sides of the stadium, and stands down both sides that will accommodate 2,000 supporters. In addition, there will be a fan area on the Neville Road side of the ground, where the dressing rooms are located. It is a long way from the club Scholes and his co-owners inherited when they completed their takeover in 2014. Since then, they have been promoted twice, reached the second round of the FA Cup for the first time and been the subject of a BBC documentary, the second series of which was broadcast last month. The profile Salford have gained through their famous owners has brought jealousy from some of their rivals, and unease from a minority of their own club's support, who were happy with their lot, languishing in the lower reaches of the Northern Premier League. "There weren't many of them though, were there? 80? 90?" Scholes, 41, said. "In the last two years we have won the league and gone up through the play-offs. The crowd is on the pitch, loving it. "There has to be a purpose to a football club. The purpose is to go as far as we possibly can. "I went to Stockport on Saturday. There must have been 500 away fans there. You don't see that in the Football League. "OK, it is a local game but you would do well to get 250 if Oldham were there." But, he said, the club will not be able to achieve its goals on its own. "We will need investment," he said. "This is nothing bad against FC United because it is the way they have done it but they won't take outside investment. They have a lovely ground and they have probably got a budget that won't allow them to get out of this league. "We don't want that. I don't want that. We want a nice ground and we want to be playing Championship football." Why did he buy a football club? Well, it was not for the money. "We are not doing it for a return on our investment," Scholes said. "We want to build a good football club, with a reserve team and youth team and have kids coming through from the age of 10 to the first team. We are desperate for that to happen. That would give us greater satisfaction than making a few quid." He says what he likes most of all about his club is the "honesty" of it. "I enjoy watching honest people who want to put an honest shift in, at what is a decent standard," he explained. But there are also frustrations. "The thing that annoys us the most is when people or players from other clubs are saying we are paying £1,000 a week or £850 a week [to players]," he said. "It is just not true. Our budget is probably the fourth of fifth highest. It makes it difficult to sign players. We are not going to pay stupid money." What next? Scholes underlined the need to continue investing, to attract the best players possible and then one day go full-time. "I don't see the point in getting to this level and stalling," he said. "But it will be difficult. I always felt this level would be a big step up from the last two years." Following promotion to the National League North - the sixth tier of English football - in April, Salford have made a good start to the season and sit seventh in the table. However, they have now gone six matches without a win, which is the worst run since Scholes and his partners took over. "We are having a sticky spell but we expected this," he said. "You can't win all the time. It is impossible." "We couldn't be happier with our two managers [Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley]. They have been brilliant for two years and we made a fantastic start this season." He says the owners want to give the community a club to be proud of. "In months to come we hope to have an academy," he said. "We are giving young players who maybe get released from [Manchester] United or City or other bigger clubs, who have nowhere to go, a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. "When you see those plans, it excites you. From what we have now to what we could possibly have in six months' time. It is an exciting time." With almost all the votes counted, the 67-year-old polled 52% - enough to avoid a run-off. His closest rival, leftist Antonio Sampaio da Novoa, won 22.89%. The post of president is mainly ceremonial, but the head of state can dissolve parliament. A shaky left-wing coalition currently governs Portugal. Mr Sousa vowed to be an independent president and said he wished to restore national unity while "our country is emerging from a deep economic and social crisis". "The people are the ones with the power," he told supporters. Observers suspect the governing coalition may unravel within a year or so, so the new president may end up playing a more active role, the BBC's Alison Roberts reports from Lisbon. Portugal opposition topples government Portugal's left alliance flexes muscles A record 10 candidates took part in Sunday's election. Mr Sousa secured the required 50% of the vote to avoid a run-off on 14 February. Known as "Professor Marcelo" to his supporters, he has been involved in politics since his youth, helping to establish the centre-right Social Democratic Party. He has the support of right-wing parties, but says he will not be reliant on them. He has pledged to do everything he can to ensure the current government's stability. He will take over in March from Anibal Cavaco Silva, a conservative who served two consecutive five-year terms. A centre-right coalition won the most votes in October's election, but lost its overall majority in November, to be replaced by an alliance of left-wing parties which rejected its austerity programme in parliament. Portugal was one of the countries hardest hit by the crisis in the eurozone, accepting an international bailout in exchange for sweeping cuts. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal this week, the former businessman said he'd had to adapt from his deal-making background to the presidency. "The magnitude of everything is so big, and also the decisions are so big. You know, you're talking about life and death," he said. In his first few months, the candidate who offered simple and clear solutions on the campaign trail has had to deal with some complicated obstacles - and row back on promises. In that interview with the Wall Street Journal, the president revealed that during his first talk with China's President, Xi Jinping, he discovered China could not simply deal with the nuclear threat from North Korea. "After listening for 10 minutes, I realised it's not so easy," the president said. "I felt pretty strongly that they had a tremendous power over North Korea. But it's not what you would think". That exchange has raised eyebrows in some quarters. Vox writer Zack Beauchamp observed: "Trump thought China could fix North Korea until the Chinese president politely informed him that North Korea is in fact complicated." That amounted to "basic facts... he could have Googled", Beauchamp added. The same interview revealed that Mr Trump will not label China a currency manipulator, as he had promised, and had offered to make concessions on trade - another issue he has been vocal about - in exchange for help with North Korea. The Affordable Care Act - or Obamacare - was one of Trump's major campaign issues. "On day one of the Trump Administration, we will ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of Obamacare," a statement from the campaign in early 2016 said. That did not happen. It took until March - two months after inauguration day - to bring a bill to the Republican-controlled Congress, where it was was rejected by Trump's own party. He could not get the votes from Republicans, and withdrew the bill at the last minute. "It's an unbelievably complex subject" the president said in late February. "Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated," he added. During the campaign, Mr Trump repeatedly said he wanted to forge a better relationship with Russia. He also tweeted that "both countries will, perhaps, work together" to solve global problems once he was president. As late as November last year, after his election victory, he told the New York Times: "I would love to be able to get along with Russia and I think they'd like to be able to get along with us. It's in our mutual interest." But the diplomatic reality has proved much more difficult. Mr Trump has launched military action against Russia's ally, Syria, and the US ambassador to the United Nations accused the Kremlin of sheltering Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. A week later, Trump told the media: "right now, we're not getting along with Russia at all. We may be at an all-time low in terms of a relationship with Russia. This has built for a long period of time." Donald Trump's border wall was one of his most high-profile promises. He rejected the idea of using fencing, and insisted he would build a real wall from border to border - and make Mexico pay for it. Mexico, perhaps unsurprisingly, refused to pay for the wall, which is estimated to cost anywhere from $10bn - $25bn. In signing an order to start the process, Mr Trump accepted that US taxpayers will have to cover the initial funding - but says the money will be somehow recouped from Mexicans. Quite apart from the political difficulties, there's another problem - an engineering one. Mr Trump insisted, repeatedly, that he was not promising a border fence, but a "impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful, southern border wall." But the border runs for some 1,900 miles (3,100 km), over mountains, valleys, and rivers. The bidding process is still in motion, and Trump has said costs will go "way down" once he turns his attention to it. But on the sidelines, the administration's top immigration official, John Kelly, has been saying something different. "It's unlikely that we will build a wall or physical barrier from sea to shining sea," he said in April. Mr Trump's complaints about the Nato military alliance being "obsolete" caused much concern following his election victory. He questioned Nato's purpose, while repeatedly saying that the US was paying an unfair share - all of which alarmed the other allies. But Trump's new defence secretary, James Mattis, moved to calm worries after his appointment, calling Nato the "fundamental bedrock" of co-operation. The president himself seemed to follow suit in April, when he hosted Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House. He declared that a renewed focus on fighting terrorism, as he saw it, meant Nato was no longer "obsolete" - but he still hoped other countries would contribute more. On top of the learning curve Trump has faced in his new role as president, there are some campaign promises he simply rowed back on between winning the election an his inauguration day. Chants of "lock her up" at his rallies were encouraged by his promise to prosecute Hilary Clinton - a policy quietly dropped to let Mrs Clinton "heal". Policies on torture, climate change, gay marriage, deportation, and the banning of Muslim migrants were all softened and changed in the months leading up to his presidency. But there is one clear area where Trump's shift in approach based on new information has paid off politically - his approval of strikes in Syria. Four years ago, when military strikes against president Assad were considered by Obama's administration, Trump criticised interventionist foreign policy. "Forget Syria and make America great again!" he tweeted. But when children were caught up in a chemical weapons attack, he ordered a missile strike on a Syrian government airfield - a move applauded by politicians across the US political divide. Emitting a gentle whirring noise, it travels across the warehouse floor while two arms raise or lower themselves on scissor lifts, ready for the next task. Each arm has a camera on its knuckle. The left one eases a cardboard box forward on the shelf, the right reaches in and extracts a bottle. Like many new robots, it's from Japan. Hitachi showcased it in 2015 and hopes to be selling it by 2020. 50 Things That Made the Modern Economy highlights the inventions, ideas and innovations which have helped create the economic world we live in. It is broadcast on the BBC World Service. You can find more information about the programme's sources and listen online or subscribe to the programme podcast. It's not the only robot that can pick a bottle off a shelf - but it's as close as robots have yet come to performing this seemingly simple task as speedily and dextrously as a good old-fashioned human. One day, robots like this might replace warehouse workers altogether. For now, humans and machines run warehouses together. In Amazon depots, Kiva robots scurry around, not picking things off shelves, but carrying the shelves to humans for them to select things. In this way, Kiva robots can improve efficiency up to fourfold. Robots and humans work side-by-side in factories, too. Factories have had robots since 1961, when General Motors installed the first Unimate, a one-armed automaton that was used for tasks like welding. But until recently, robots were strictly segregated from human workers - partly to protect the humans, and partly to stop them confusing the robots, whose working conditions had to be strictly controlled. With some new robots, that's no longer necessary. Take Rethink Robotics' Baxter. Baxter can generally avoid bumping into humans, or falling over if humans bump into it. Cartoon eyes indicate to human co-workers where it's about to move. Historically, industrial robots needed specialist programming, but Baxter can learn new tasks from its co-workers. The world's robot population is expanding quickly - sales of industrial robots are growing by around 13 per cent a year, meaning the robot "birth rate" is almost doubling every five years. There has long been a trend to "offshore" manufacturing to cheaper workers in emerging markets. Now, robots are part of the "reshoring" trend that is returning production to established centres. They do more and more things - they're lettuce-pickers, bartenders, hospital porters. But they're still not doing as much as we'd once expected. In 1962 - a year after the Unimate was introduced - the American cartoon The Jetsons imagined Rosie, a robot maid doing all the household chores. That prospect still seems remote. The progress that has happened is partly thanks to improved robot hardware, including better and cheaper sensors - essentially improving a robot's eyes, the touch of its fingertips, and its balance. But it's also about software: robots are getting better brains. And it's about time, too. Machine thinking is another area where initial high expectations encountered early disappointments. Attempts to invent artificial intelligence are generally dated to 1956, and a summer workshop at Dartmouth College for scientists with a pioneering interest in "machines that use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves". How Ikea's Billy took over the world How economics killed the antibiotic dream What makes gambling wrong but insurance right? Just google it: The student project that changed the world Then, machines with human-like intelligence were thought to be about 20 years away. Now, they're thought to be… about 20 years away. The futurist philosopher Nick Bostrom has a cynical take on this. Twenty years is "a sweet spot for prognosticators of radical change", he writes. Nearer, and you would expect to be seeing prototypes by now. Further away is not so attention-grabbing. It's only in the last few years that progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has really started to accelerate. Specifically, in what's known as narrow AI - algorithms that can do one thing very well, like playing Go, or filtering email spam, or recognising faces in your Facebook photos. Processors have become faster, data sets bigger, and programmers better at writing algorithms that can learn how to improve themselves. That capacity for self-improvement worries some thinkers like Bostrom. What will happen if and when we create artificial general intelligence - a system which could apply itself to any problem, as humans can? Will it rapidly turn itself into a superintelligence? How would we keep it under control? That's not an imminent concern, at least. Human-level artificial general intelligence is still about, ooh, 20 years away. But narrow AI is already transforming the economy. For years, algorithms have been taking over white-collar drudgery in areas like book-keeping and customer service. And more prestigious jobs are far from safe. IBM's Watson, which hit the headlines for beating human champions at the game show Jeopardy!, is already better than doctors at diagnosing lung cancer. Software is getting to be as good as experienced lawyers at predicting what lines of argument are most likely to win a case. Robo-advisers dispense investment advice. Algorithms routinely churn out news reports on the financial markets and sports - although, luckily for me, it seems they can't yet write feature articles about technology and economics. Some economists reckon robots and AI explain a curious economic trend. Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee argue there's been a "great decoupling" between jobs and productivity - how efficiently an economy takes inputs, like people and capital, and turns them into useful stuff. Historically, better productivity meant more jobs and higher wages. But Brynjolfsson and McAfee argue that's no longer the case in the United States. Since the turn of the century, US productivity has been improving, but jobs and wages haven't kept pace. Some economists worry that we're experiencing "secular stagnation" - where there's not enough demand to spur economies into growing, even with interest rates at or below zero. Technology destroying jobs is nothing new - it's why, 200 years ago, the Luddites went around destroying technology. "Luddite" has become a term of mockery because technology has always, eventually, created new jobs to replace the ones it destroyed. Better jobs. Or at least, different jobs. What happens this time remains debatable. It's possible that some of the jobs humans will be left doing will actually be worse. That's because technology seems to be making more progress at thinking than doing: robots' brains are improving faster than their bodies. Martin Ford, author of Rise Of The Robots, points out that robots can land aeroplanes and trade shares on Wall Street, but still can't clean toilets. So perhaps, for a glimpse of the future, we should look not to Rosie the Robot but to another device now being used in warehouses: the Jennifer Unit. It's a computerised headset that tells human workers what to do, down to the smallest detail. If you have to pick 19 identical items from a shelf, it'll tell you to pick five, then five, then five, then four. That leads to fewer errors than saying "pick 19". If robots beat humans at thinking, but humans beat robots at picking things off shelves, why not control a human body with a robot brain? It may not be a fulfilling career choice, but you can't deny the logic.

The decision comes in response to uncertainty caused by the UK's decision to leave the European Union, the bank said. The vote on 23 June caused global market turmoil and pushed the pound to record lows. The Singapore dollar has gained about 10% since the referendum. Singaporeans were among the top buyers of London property in 2015. UOB told the BBC in a statement: "We will temporarily stop receiving foreign property loan applications for London properties." "As the aftermath of the UK referendum is still unfolding and given the uncertainties, we need to ensure our customers are cautious with their London property investments." Singapore's biggest lender, DBS, is continuing to provide financing, but is advising its customers to be cautious. "For customers interested in buying properties in London, we would advise them to assess the situation carefully," DBS executive director of secured lending, Tok Geok Peng, told the BBC. "With foreign exchange risks, even if the value of the overseas property rises, any gains will be eroded if the country's currency depreciates against the Singapore dollar," Mr Tok explained. Singapore's other big lender, OCBC bank, told the BBC it had not made any changes to its advisory policy. Head of Consumer Secured Lending Phang Lah Hwa told the BBC that OCBC was "still availing financing for London properties and monitoring the situation closely". Former leader Robert Gould was beaten by Jon Andrews despite an overall win for the party, which retained council control at the local election. Councillor Rebecca Knox, who represents Beaminster, was elected group leader earlier and said she was "delighted". The new leader of the authority will be elected at full council on 18 May. "There is much to do, we have a substantial programme of work we need to get on with, and I look forward to the opportunities we can deliver together with our valuable staff for the residents of Dorset," Ms Knox said. Councillor Peter Wharf, who represents North West Purbeck, has been elected deputy group leader. The Tories retained control of the county council after winning 32 of the 46 seats. Mr Gould lost his Sherborne Town seat by 22 votes as Mr Andrews gained it with 1,493. UKIP was left without a seat while the Liberal Democrats won 11 seats, the Green Party won two and the Labour Cooperative retained a single seat. Colehill East and Stapehill councillor Janet Dover continues as the Liberal Democrat group leader. She said it would be "working positively with the administration, but we will also challenge them when we need to". Leader of the Green group, Rodwell councillor Clare Sutton, said she was "looking forward to having a stronger voice" in the council's decisions. The local election took place amidst plans to reorganise local government in Dorset with two unitary authorities. The authority has said it will not be revealing plans for the restructure until after the general election on 8 June. Brown, 26, featured in all five of Scotland's World Cup matches last year, starting in the group defeat to South Africa. The former Edinburgh player won his 15th cap as a replacement in the quarter-final loss to Australia. MacArthur, 28, made the last of his six Scotland appearances in 2014 and has been at the Scotstoun club since 2007. "I've really enjoyed my eight years and it was an easy decision to stay," said MacArthur. "Everything about the Warriors has grown since I joined and I'm really excited about the future." Brown made the move to Glasgow in 2013 and was a second-half replacement in last season's Pro12 final victory over Munster. "Winning the Pro12 was one of the highlights of my career and I'm really looking forward to the next two seasons at Scotstoun," said Brown. English and French clubs will quit the tournament next year in favour of the proposed Rugby Champions Cup. European Rugby Cup (ERC), which has run the Heineken Cup since it began in 1995, wants to reopen talks with clubs. "The future is best served by doing what we have all been doing for 18 years," said ERC chief Derek McGrath. "ERC wishes to encourage everybody back to the table. There is a lot of activity to try to find solutions. "We have stated many times that we absolutely believe that we will only find agreement when we have the full engagement of all the parties around the table. We haven't had that yet. "We haven't had engagement and we haven't had negotiation, which is critical to find progress." English Premiership and French Top 14 clubs are serving a notice period to leave ERC-run competitions and will not attend talks planned by the organising body next month. They believe the Heineken Cup structure favours teams from the Pro12, which is made up of sides from Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Italy. Only the top six in England and France are guaranteed a place in the Heineken Cup, whereas at least 10 Celtic League outfits - including both Scottish, both Italian and a minimum of three sides each from Wales and Ireland - have certain entry into the competition. With the Pro12 having no relegation, it is argued teams can rest players for league matches to keep them fresh for Europe, while Premiership and Top 14 teams have to fight hard just to qualify. Media playback is not supported on this device The English and French clubs are also unhappy with the way revenues are split between the three leagues and want to keep a greater share. Pro12 clubs will be allowed to join the potential new tournament, but the Welsh, Scottish and Irish Rugby Unions want "full approval" of the International Rugby Board (IRB) for their clubs to take part. Despite the English and French clubs' insistence on forming a breakaway competition, ERC chief executive McGrath insists there is still time to reach an agreement for all of Europe's top clubs to continue playing in the Heineken Cup. "All parties bear a responsibility to find those solutions," he added at Monday's English and French launch of this season's Heineken and Amlin Challenge Cup competitions in Cardiff. "Walking away is not respecting the obligations to those, in particular, who are not sitting at the table - the fans, the players, the sponsors - who have a significant interest in the future of the competitions. "I sincerely believe it is in everyone's best interests to come to the meeting." The granite setts in Marine Parade, Great Yarmouth, had a "high level of maintenance and expense", Norfolk County Council said. The cobbles were laid 10 years ago as part of a regeneration of the area. Michael Cole, who owns Joyland amusement park, said the new tarmac looked "absolutely horrible". "The cobbles gave the area a character, it was something unique to the area, and all this has done is turned it back into an A road," he said. The leader of Great Yarmouth Borough Council, Graham Plant, said his officers had recommended the cobbles stay in place, but had been ignored. "We spent an awful lot of money making the seafront look an attractive place," he said. "Tarmac is not what we want there on the seafront, it's not what we paid all that money for, and Norfolk County Council ought to put back what they've taken away, because this is something that's important to us as a town." In a statement, a Norfolk County Council spokesman said the stone setts had been "permanently removed" because "they were becoming loose in a number of places, creating a safety hazard for drivers, and other road users, giving increased vehicle noise levels and creating a high cost for carriageway maintenance repairs". "We always try to take consultee views into account, but we must make the final decision based on what is best on a case by case basis," the spokesman added. The club claimed Suffolk Police "unlawfully" charged for keeping order on the streets around the ground. But the High Court said police were entitled to recover costs for officers in Portman Road and Sir Alf Ramsey Way. The High Court has now found that officers charged for policing too large an area. Mr Justice Green ruled that the club was entitled to the return of any money it overpaid. He found that the club should only pay for policing in the streets which were home to 40 turnstiles for the club's ground and subject to a traffic control order on match days. The force had "no lawful power" to demand payment for carrying out policing in the wider area and the club had paid up under "a mistake of law". Suffolk Police had "no defences available" to the club's claim to be put back in the position it would have been in had the mistaken payments never been made, said Mr Justice Green. He said the club's payout would be calculated on the basis that the sums it paid for policing "constituted fair market prices". The judge said he hoped the club and the force would now reach a final settlement of the dispute in the light of his rulings. However, if the amount due to the club cannot be agreed, the case will return to court for another hearing.

"I can't quite take it all in. It's all I ever wanted," she told BBC Sport. Yarnold won European gold earlier this year to add to her successes at the Winter Olympics and World Cup in 2014. Her fellow Britons Laura Deas and Rose McGrandle were seventh and ninth respectively. Yarnold, who won won bronze at the 2012 World Championships and was fourth the following year, clocked 57.44 seconds in her first run on Friday to break the track record. And she improved her own mark a day later, a 57.42 run giving her victory in a combined time over four runs of three minutes 49.95 seconds. Deas, 25, finished 1:58 adrift of her compatriot, with 28-year-old McGrandle another 0.18 back. In power since succeeding his father 2000, Bashar al-Assad is fighting for control of his country after "Arab Spring" protests against his rule turned into a full-scale armed rebellion. He inherited a tightly controlled and repressive political structure from long-time dictator Hafez al-Assad, with an inner circle dominated by members of the Assad family's minority Alawite Shia community. Mr Assad's government continues to enjoy strong diplomatic and military support from Russia and traditional ally Iran, as well as Lebanon's Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group. The question of whether he should remain in power remains a key sticking point in attempts to reach some in of settlement of Syria's civil war, with rebels demanding his immediate departure - a condition rejected by Mr Assad and his allies. Bashar al-Assad would probably have been working as an optician had his brother not died in a car accident in 1994. The death of Basil - groomed to succeed Hafez al-Assad - catapulted the younger brother into politics, and into the presidency after his father died in June 2000. On taking office he ushered in a brief period of openness and cautious reform. Political prisoners were released and restrictions on the media were eased. Political debate was tolerated and open calls for freedom of expression and political pluralism were made. But the pace of change alarmed the establishment - the army, the Baath party and the Alawite minority. Fearing instability and perceiving a threat to their influence, they acted not only to slow it down, but to revert to the old ways. To his many supporters he was the reforming president whose idiosyncratic brand of socialism defeated the political elite and gave hope to the poorest Venezuelans. His strident criticism of the United States won him many friends among the "pink tide" of political leaders in Latin America and he effectively used his country's vast oil reserves to boost Venezuela's international clout. But to his political opponents he was the worst type of autocrat, intent on building a one-party state and ruthlessly clamping down on any who opposed him. Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias was born on 28 Jul 1954 in the Venezuelan state of Barinas, one of seven children. His parents were both school teachers and the family lived in relative poverty. He attended the Daniel O'Leary High School in the city of Barinas before going to the Venezuelan Academy of Military Sciences in the capital, Caracas where, he later said, he found his true vocation. He also found time to play baseball and to study the lives of the 19th Century South American revolutionary leader Simon Bolivar and the Marxist Che Guevara. He graduated with honours in 1975 but had already begun to form the political ideas that he would later put into practice as president, including the belief that the military had a duty to step in if a civilian government was deemed to have failed to protect the poorest in society. He was posted to one of the many counter-insurgency units that were tackling the various Marxist groups bent on overthrowing the presidency of Carlos Andres Perez but he saw very little action, spending his time reading a great deal of left-wing literature. In 1981 he was assigned to teach at the military academy where he had been a student and found himself in a position to indoctrinate the next generation of army officers with his political ideas. His superiors became alarmed at the extent of his influence and he was posted to remote Apure state, where, it was assumed, he could do little damage. He busied himself by making contact with local tribes in the area, something that would influence his own policies towards indigenous people when he finally came to power. In February 1992 he led an attempt to overthrow the government of President Perez amid growing anger at economic austerity measures that had led to widespread protests. The revolt by members of the Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement claimed 18 lives and left 60 wounded before Colonel Chavez gave himself up. He was languishing in a military jail when his associates tried again to seize power nine months later. That second coup attempt in November 1992 was crushed as well, but only after the rebels had captured a TV station and broadcast a videotape of Chavez announcing the fall of the government. He spent two years in prison before relaunching his party as the Movement of the Fifth Republic, making the transition from soldier to politician. With an eye to wider opinion he spent time canvassing a number of political leaders in Latin America, finding strong support and friendship from Cuba's revolutionary president, Fidel Castro. Chavez firmly believed in overthrowing the government by force but was persuaded to change his mind and instead became a candidate in the 1998 presidential elections. Unlike most of its neighbours, Venezuela had enjoyed an unbroken period of democratic government since 1958, but the two main parties, which had alternated in power, stood accused of presiding over a corrupt system and squandering the country's vast oil wealth. Hugo Chavez promised "revolutionary" social policies, and constantly abused the "predatory oligarchs" of the establishment as corrupt servants of international capital. Never missing an opportunity to address the nation, he once described oil executives as living in "luxury chalets where they perform orgies, drinking whisky". He quickly gained widespread support, not just from the poorest in Venezuelan society but also from a middle class which had seen its standards of living eroded by economic mismanagement. It was these middle class votes that were instrumental in propelling Chavez into power with 56% of the vote. Despite the revolutionary rhetoric he employed during the campaign his first government set out on a relatively moderate path, appointing a number of conservative figures to political positions. He ran the economy largely according to guidelines set down by the International Monetary Fund and made a positive effort to encourage investment from global corporations. He also began a programme of social reform, investing in the country's crumbling infrastructure and setting up free medical care and subsidised food for the poor. In order to stay in touch with his people he set up weekly shows on radio and television where he explained his policies and encouraged citizens to phone in and question him directly. In 1999 he proposed setting up a new constitutional assembly, gaining overwhelming support for the idea in a public referendum, itself an unheard of feature in Venezuelan politics. In subsequent elections to the new body, Chavez supporters won 95% of the seats and set about drafting a new constitution which was approved by an overwhelming majority of the population. One stipulation of the new order was that presidential elections should be held in 2000 which Chavez duly won with 59% of the vote. However, he soon faced opposition both from outside and inside Venezuela. Relations with Washington reached a low when he accused it of "fighting terror with terror" during the war in Afghanistan after the attacks on the US on 11 September 2001. Opposition inside the country came from middle class groups who had seen their political power eroded by Chavez and who accused him of steering the country towards a one-party state. In early 2002 the country was embroiled in a general strike and Chavez was pushed from office on 12 April after attempting to take control of the oil industry. But, just two days later, after his supporters - mainly Venezuela's poor - took the streets, he was back in the presidential palace. The 2006 presidential elections saw Chavez gain 63% of the vote, whereupon he announced that his revolutionary policies would now be expanded. He brought forward proposals that would allow him to stand for the presidency indefinitely, a measure that was approved in a referendum by 54% of those voting. He also created economic and political ties with newly elected left-wing leaders in other South American countries including Daniel Ortega, who came to power in Nicaragua in 2007. Relations with the US remained strained. While Chavez congratulated US President Barack Obama on his election victory in November 2008, he strongly condemned western military action in Libya in 2011. "I am not Obama's enemy but it's difficult not to see imperialism in Washington," he told the BBC. "Those who don't see it, don't want to see it, like the ostrich." At home, his much-vaunted economic reforms were running out of steam. Domestic support for his "Bolivarian" socialism was being sorely tested by economic recession and inflation soared to 30% eroding the savings of the middle classes. Nevertheless, he retained his appeal at the ballot box until the end - winning a fourth term in office with 54% of the vote in October 2012, though his illness prevented him ever being sworn in. Hugo Chavez started as a reforming president, intent on addressing the inequalities in Venezuelan society giving food, medical care and, above all, a political voice to the poor. Venezuela today has the fairest income distribution in Latin America. But Chavez failed to implement a long-term solution for the country's economic problems. Violent crime rose during his time in office, while government corruption continued. Chavez was convinced that his destiny was to rule Venezuela and be a regional leader who could counteract US influence in Latin America. The tensions inherent in that conviction were identified by Colombian Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who met and travelled with Chavez before he took office for the first time. It was like talking to two contrary men, Garcia Marquez wrote. "One to whom inveterate luck has granted the the chance to save his country. The other, an illusionist, who could go down in history as just another despot." His death on 5 March after a two-year fight with cancer prompted an outpouring of grief from his supporters. As crowds queued for hours to pay their last respects beside his coffin, the government announced that his body would be embalmed and put on permanent display, "like Lenin and Mao Zedong". Now that he has won the presidency, what has he promised - and can he deliver? Where the next president stands on key issues Pledge: Start process of "removing the more than two million criminal, illegal immigrants" Can it be done? It might be difficult, mainly because there are only an estimated 178,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records currently in the US. Even if there were two million, beginning a mass deportation on that scale would be hard. However, he could start to recruit and train the thousands of extra people needed to enact such a deportation - although it is not immediately clear how he would afford the billions some have suggested it would cost. Pledge: Build a wall dividing the US and Mexico Can it be done? Perhaps the most famous, or infamous, or Mr Trump's ideas, the President-elect says he wants to begin implementing plans for the construction of a "beautiful" wall along the southern US border immediately. Beginning it will be one thing though, finishing another. Tightening border security and building on US territory is well within his mandate, but details on the cost and practicalities of the scheme are yet to be worked out. Mr Trump insists the Mexicans will foot the bill. How realistic is Donald Trump's wall? Pledge: Denying visa-free travel to countries who refuse to take back their citizens Can it be done? In theory he can, under Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. In fact, President Barack Obama has used the act to block visas for certain groups. But he restricted it to very specific groups, like people under UN travel bans and those helping the Syrian government commit human rights abuses, and it has never been applied to entire countries. Pledge: Take action to appoint a new Supreme Court judge Can it be done? There is a vacancy in the top US court after the death of conservative Antonin Scalia. President Obama has nominated a replacement but the Republican-controlled Senate has refused to consider it. Mr Trump will now be able to fill Mr Scalia's seat, tipping the balance towards conservative-leaning officials. What's more, with others on the panel aged over 70, he could get to make further appointments should they die, influencing decisions on everything from abortion to freedom of the press for years to come. Pledge: Repealing every Obama executive order Can it be done? Yes. His vow to overturn the executive orders would be within his powers bequeathed by the office. President Obama made 32 executive orders during his time in office, including one lifting the remaining sanctions on Myanmar (Burma). His most wide-reaching and controversial one was probably his plan to lift the threat of deportation to millions of undocumented migrants and give them the right to work. That faced legal challenges and is now set to be reversed. Pledge: Scrapping Obamacare Can it be done? Mr Trump has called President Obama's healthcare reforms a disaster and says he will ask Congress to repeal them on day one of his term. Senior Republicans share Mr Trump's view and the party now controls both houses. Despite this, repealing Obamacare will be difficult, with Mr Trump having to find a way to overcome a Democrat filibuster in the Senate, scrap thousands of pages of associated regulations, and not least tackle what will replace it for the millions of America now receiving affordable care. Pledge: Restrictions on White House officials becoming lobbyists Can it be done? In theory he would need the support of Congress, which some have suggested is unlikely considering its impact on members' future earning potential. Pledge: Term limits for members of Congress Can it be done? This idea was first tabled back in 1994 by the GOP and still hasn't come to fruition. Whether Mr Trump can do it remains to be seen. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said soon after Mr Trump's election: "I would say we have term limits now - they're called elections". Pledge: Cancellation of all payments to UN climate change programmes Can it be done? Mr Trump has widespread support for scrapping the payment to the Green Climate Fund among his Republican colleagues - who have retained control of both Houses - so he won't face much opposition should he choose to repeal it. His distrust of the Paris Agreement is also shared with many Republicans. But the deal has been ratified so it's now international law, and would take him four years to withdraw from it. Pledge: Using that money to fix US infrastructure Can it be done? Putting money into infrastructure has been a popular campaign pledge for both Mr Trump and Hillary Clinton. But Mr Trump will need every cent he can find to fund the $1tn (£800bn) plan he unveiled in the last days of the campaign. Pledge: Cut taxes Can it be done? Mr Trump's promise is traditional Republican territory and is likely to appeal to even the most anti-Trump party members in Congress. The major question is whether Mr Trump can get along with the Republican party's leaders. Conciliatory gestures have been made, though - House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, who distanced himself from Mr Trump during the campaign, now says "we will work hand-in-hand on a positive agenda to tackle this country's big challenges". Generally, presidents submit their first budgets in February. Pledge: To label China a currency manipulator Can it be done? Mr Trump could sign an executive order labelling the country a currency manipulator on his first day in office. However, it is likely it would have little impact, beyond annoying China. The 25-year-old super-bantamweight from Belfast clinched victory in the third round of the scheduled six. Conlan, who won a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics, is expected to be on the undercard for the 2 July Brisbane bout between Manny Pacquiao and Jeff Horn. He was well on top throughout Friday night's fight at the UIC Pavilion. Mexican Chanez was knocked down in the first round and Conlan sealed victory with another flurry of punches in the third. Chanez did get up to beat the count, but the referee called a halt. Afterwards Conlan said he was not happy with is performance and that he wanted to face an opponent who could test him. In his first pro fight in March, Conlan stopped Tim Ibarra inside three rounds at Madison Square Garden. He has said it would be special to be part of the undercard when Pacquiao defends his WBO welterweight title in Australia. Conlan hopes to fight in Belfast in December as he continues his progress through the professional ranks. The demand was made in a letter, which has been seen by the BBC, to London-based bosses. The group believes the party's electoral chances will be damaged if the "gaffe-prone" MEP remains. Mr Coburn dismissed the criticism as "nonsense" and has received the backing of UKIP leader Nigel Farage. The party is fielding candidates on the eight regional lists for the Scottish Parliament election on 5 May. And ahead of the European referendum on 23 June, UKIP in Scotland is also campaigning for the UK to end its membership of the EU. Mr Coburn is the party's only elected politician in Scotland having won his seat at the Brussels parliament in May 2014. At the end of February, 10 activists wrote to UKIP's party chairman, Steve Crowther, complaining about "dysfunctional management" in Scotland. They highlighted what they called "major public gaffes" by Mr Coburn and said he was "not suited to being the Scottish face of the Brexit campaign". The group, including five local party chairmen - Peter Adams, Sarah Devenney, Ross Durrance, Otto Inglis and Bill Wright - demanded that Mr Coburn be replaced. The letter said: "As we are the only Euro-sceptic party in Scotland, it falls to us to supply an alternative spokesman. "If the referendum is close failure to do so could cost us our country. "We propose that the party conduct tests of our Scottish lead list candidates' abilities in debate and on television generally, and appoint the best performer as our Scottish spokesman. "Meanwhile, David should concentrate on what he does best - charming people and making friends on a one-to-one basis." On Twitter, Mr Coburn said those disgruntled with his leadership represented just 1% of the party in Scotland. He said many of them had now left UKIP and said the fact that none were Holyrood candidates demonstrated the selection process worked "extremely well". One of those who complained about Mr Coburn, Richard Lucas, tweeted that criticism from five out of eight local party chairmen was "hardly insignificant". Mr Farage, who is campaigning in Inverness on Wednesday, responded to the criticisms by saying that Mr Coburn was a "highly colourful, larger-than-life" figure. He added: "He [David Coburn] just occasionally says things that perhaps he might regret later, but you know what, he's come from the world of business, he was dealing in antiques, he's got involved in politics, he's a Scot, he's passionate and he believes in an independent UK. "Once you rise in the polls and people can see there's a prospect of getting elected to Holyrood, then all sorts of rivalries come into play, we've seen a bit of that in Scotland - it's part of the natural growing pains that political parties have." Witnesses reported "a massive bang and a flash" on Tuesday evening at Cotswold Airport near Kemble. The plane, with possible explosion damage, was moved afterwards. Gloucestershire Constabulary said there had been "explosive training" at the airport but would not confirm whether the plane was involved. The booms, heard from Kington St Michael to Malmesbury and Calne in Wiltshire, sparked calls to BBC Wiltshire and BBC Radio Gloucestershire as well as dozens of posts on social media. Pilot and fight instructor Paul Shanley, 51, who lives just outside the village of Kemble said they had heard similar booms "three times before this but we've never got to the bottom of what it was". "There was an enormous explosion - really deep explosion - it was enough to wake up my daughter," he said. Mr Shanley said he took photos of a 747 on the runway which had "not normal damage" to its doors. He said: "You can see the explosives around the door frame." A police spokesperson said: "I'm afraid we cannot confirm whether this is connected to the explosions heard in Kemble, due to the operationally sensitive nature of the training." China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi calls it a "Chinese whirlwind" in the world, and President Xi Jinping talks of an "Asia-Pacific dream" to set alongside the "Chinese dream of rejuvenation". Beijing's shorthand for this regional effort is "comprehensive connectivity". It means using investment, commerce, diplomacy and finance to create a Sinocentric network of Asian infrastructure and institutions, with each policy lever enhancing the next to bind the region firmly into a Chinese embrace. A waking China "is a peaceful, amiable and civilised lion", says President Xi. But who goes into the lion's enclosure without armour? The challenge for the Indian prime minister is the same as for many other Chinese neighbours: to establish common interest with the amiable lion while hedging against the possibility that its temper turns nasty. Increasingly confident that its ascendancy is irreversible, China's new leadership under President Xi has turned its back on the foreign policy maxim that dominated Chinese thinking for three decades - "to bide our time and conceal our capabilities". The war chest for the "whirlwind" is China's $4 trillion (£2.5tn) in foreign exchange reserves. The new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank along with other Chinese-led financial institutions will spend billions on building high-speed rail, energy pipelines, roads, ports and industrial parks. India would like to tap into Chinese money and infrastructure expertise. When President Xi went to India last September, Mr Modi was only four months into office, and their summit could be presented as a honeymoon of new beginnings. They announced a slew of business initiatives, including Chinese investment of $20bn. Eight months on, progress has been slow. Chinese investors complain of Indian red tape, Indian exporters complain of Chinese import barriers. India's growth now promises to outpace a slowing China, but its economy is a fraction of the size and is just one of many competing for Chinese investment. Despite Mr Modi's electoral message of faster economic development, and his "Make in India" campaign to attract investors, Chinese businesses detect little change on the ground. And all the time, China's "whirlwind" gathers pace. To the north of India, China's so-called "Silk Road Economic Belt" is intended to roll out a network of Chinese infrastructure, commerce and strategic assets through Central Asia. And to the south, its "Maritime Silk Road" is intended to do the same across the Indian Ocean. China has swiftly become an enormous investor in Sri Lanka, the Maldives and the Seychelles. Similarly Nepal and Bhutan, both traditionally part of India's sphere of influence. Last month, China's president visited Pakistan, pledging $46bn investment in road, rail and energy projects and an "all-weather strategic partnership of cooperation". No wonder Indian security analysts complain of strategic encirclement. But India is playing the strategic great game too. Mr Modi made a trip to Japan long before this week's visit to China. One state-owned Chinese newspaper commented acidly: "The Japanese side may be excited about Modi because it wants to work together to contain China. "But Modi's interest is Japanese investment and technology: India and Japan are like a couple sleeping on the same bed, but dreaming very different dreams." Four months later, Mr Modi invited US President Barack Obama to be chief guest at India's Republic Day celebrations. The two made a joint statement on their "strategic vision for Asia-Pacific and the Indian Ocean region", which included lines directed at China about the importance of safeguarding maritime security, ensuring freedom of navigation "especially in the South China Sea", and urging all parties "to avoid the threat or use of force". And here we come to the heart of the problem for Mr Modi. China's strategic vision for the region is to weaken US influence and make full use of its economic might in doing so. President Xi said last year: "It is for the people of Asia to run the affairs of Asia." For as long as the US continues to engage with China, and China accepts the legitimacy of the American presence in the Western Pacific, it may be possible for India and other regional powers to continue to play both sides, to benefit from economic ties with China and a security framework with the US. But if the US and China drift towards more open competition, the core of that rivalry will be who has better friends, and everyone in the region will have to make hard choices. Those neighbours of China who have no territorial dispute with Beijing can perhaps put these looming risks to the back of their minds, but India cannot. Despite 18 rounds of border talks over more than a decade, Beijing and Delhi have been unable to resolve the territorial disputes that brought them to war in 1962. Even last September, President Xi's visit to India was overshadowed by a Chinese troop incursion in the Himalayas. The good news is that this row is at a low simmer rather than boiling point. In contrast to Beijing's fierce denunciations of Japan, the Philippines or Vietnam over territorial rivalries in the East and South China Sea, its tone is relatively mild on India and a dispute it describes as being "left over from history". For the time being at least, China seems prepared to show flexibility in a relationship that shifts fluidly between cooperation and competition. Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang has said before (and will probably say again before the week is out) the combined population of China and India accounts for more than a third of the world's total. When we speak with one voice, the world will listen. During this week's summit, there will be one voice on the benefits of yoga and T'ai Chi, one voice on the resilience of ancient civilisations and the resonance of a shared Buddhist heritage. But when all the warm words and toasts are over, the question for Asia's two giants will still be if - not when - they can find a way to speak with one voice on the things that determine the future. The move forms part of David Cameron's pledge for the UK to take in 20,000 refugees by 2020. Wales is expected to have about 1,600. The United Nation's refugee agency, UNHCR, is identifying possible arrivals from camps in the Middle East and they are being referred to the Home Office. Ceredigion council leader Ellen ap Gwynn, said: "The support that has been shown by Ceredigion residents for the refugees is very heartening as we seek to help in the response to this emergency." 20,000 more refugees will be resettled in the UK by 2020 4,980 Syrian asylum seekers have been allowed to stay since 2011 25,771 people applied for asylum in the UK in the year to end June 2015 2,204 were from Syria 87% of Syrian requests for asylum were granted 145 Syrian asylum seekers have been removed from the UK since 2011 George Hamilton was speaking at an event in Londonderry called Uncomfortable Conversations. During the event, Mr Hamilton was challenged by Kate Nash, the sister of one of those killed on Bloody Sunday. He said he would raise the matter immediately. Mr Hamilton said it was "unacceptable" they had not been given an update on the status of the Bloody Sunday investigation. "What I heard tonight was families who appear not to have been communicated with. I don't doubt their honesty around that and I'm disappointed that they're not as up to date as I am. "I have agreed to look at that, to review the communication between the investigation team and the family and the investigation team will be in touch. "We'll make sure that the families are up to date with the progress or lack of it." Kate Nash, whose brother died after soldiers opened fire on civil rights marchers in Londonderry in 1972, said she would be happy to hear an update. "I don't need to have a private conversation, I think what George Hamilton should be doing is coming to meet the families en masse. All we need is justice." Most of the team investigating Bloody Sunday was laid off last year because of budget cuts. Police resumed their investigation into the killings in January. The unit was set up to replace the Historical Enquiries Team (HET). The man was pulled over in Devonshire Place, Eastbourne at about 20:00 GMT on Monday, but as an officer approached him he drove off, police said. The BMW car he was driving was found soon after in nearby Paradise Drive. The driver, 31, who was the only person in the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene. The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating. No other vehicles were involved in the crash, Sussex Police said. A spokesman said the officers on patrol had not pursued the car after it was driven off and it was not seen again until an area search discovered it had crashed. Paradise Drive was closed for seven hours following the crash. Sussex Police's professional standards department is also investigating. The 25-year-old from Laxey died in hospital on 19 April after sustaining serious head injuries during a crash at the Oliver's Mount Spring Cup. An escorted lap of the Mountain Course will depart from the TT Grandstand at 12:00 BST on 13 May. His family said well wishers are invited to take part in the procession. Redmayne was a serving member of the Parachute Regiment who had served three tours of Afghanistan. He will receive a military funeral at Douglas Crematorium. The Laxey racer won the Junior Manx Grand Prix in 2015 and was regarded as one of the brightest prospects in the sport. He had been set to make his debut at both the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT races this summer. Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos, both 14-year-olds from Tequesta, Florida, have been missing at sea since 24 July. Captain Mark Fedor says that the search along the Atlantic Coast has been a "true all hands on deck effort". The Coast Guard has searched about 50,000 square miles (80,467 square km), according to Capt Fedor. The family will continue a private search, which has been financed by donations. A $100,000 (£64,000) reward has also been offered by friends and family for the boys safe return. Perry and Austin have been described as skilled sailors, who grew up boating and fishing. They had worked together at a local fishing supply store. Friends and family have held hope that their experience on the water had kept them alive. Austin and Perry had told their parents they were planning to fish in the nearby Loxahatchee River. Police were called when the boys failed to answer mobile phone calls and several summer storms had passed through the area. Their 19ft (6m) boat was discovered capsized on Sunday about 180 miles (209 km) from where they set off two days earlier. Since then no new clues have been discovered. In an editorial in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, three international experts said it was time to "bust the myth" about exercise. They said while activity was a key part of staving off diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and dementia, its impact on obesity was minimal. Instead excess sugar and carbohydrates were key. The experts, including London cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra, blamed the food industry for encouraging the belief that exercise could counteract the impact of unhealthy eating. They even likened their tactics as "chillingly similar" to those of Big Tobacco on smoking and said celebrity endorsements of sugary drinks and the association of junk food and sport must end. They said there was evidence that up to 40% of those within a normal weight range will still harbour harmful metabolic abnormalities typically associated with obesity. But despite this public health messaging had "unhelpfully" focused on maintaining a healthy weight through calorie counting when it was the source of calories that mattered most - research has shown that diabetes increases 11-fold for every 150 additional sugar calories consumed compared to fat calories. And they pointed to evidence from the Lancet global burden of disease programme which shows that unhealthy eating was linked to more ill health than physical activity, alcohol and smoking combined. Dr Malhotra said: "An obese person does not need to do one iota of exercise to lose weight, they just need to eat less. My biggest concern is that the messaging that is coming to the public suggests you can eat what you like as long as you exercise. "That is unscientific and wrong. You cannot outrun a bad diet." But others said it was risky to play down the role of exercise. Prof Mark Baker, of the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence, which recommends "well-balanced diets combined with physical activity", said it would be "idiotic" to rule out the importance of physical activity. Ian Wright, director general at Food and Drink Federation, said: "The benefits of physical activity aren't food industry hype or conspiracy, as suggested. A healthy lifestyle will include both a balanced diet and exercise." He said the industry was encouraging a balanced diet by voluntarily providing clear on-pack nutrition information and offering products with extra nutrients and less salt, sugar and fat. "This article appears to undermine the origins of the evidence-based government public health advice, which must surely be confusing for consumers," he said. A report due to be presented to Bristol City Council also notes the project will cost more - up to £92.5m, an increase of 2.5%. John Sharkey, from SMG which will be involved with running the venue, said a big project like this "would be expected to take its time". Mayor George Ferguson described the project as "remarkably on time". "What I'm absolutely determined is that we open the arena early 2018," the independent said. "What Bristol's going to get if people don't mess around with it [the planning process] will be absolutely fantastic." Mr Sharkey said since the buildings would be up for "many many long years" it is important they are fit for purpose". "You want to be able to deliver an asset to the city that's right and ready to operate from day one." Two planning applications for the Bristol Arena, a 12,000-seat venue near Temple Meads, are due to be submitted. People living nearby raised concerns about parking but the council said city centre car parks had "spare capacity, within a 20 minute walk of the arena". A consultation closes on 13 October.

Salih Dursun held up a red card to referee Deniz Bitnel to become the fourth Trabzonspor player to be sent off in a 2-1 defeat at Galatasaray. However, he has received support for his gesture - while Bitnel has been criticised for his performance. Trabzonspor have also started selling T-shirts in their official shop showing Dursun making the gesture. There have also been reports that local officials in the Macka district of Trabzon thought about erecting a statue in honour of the player's action. And, while some of the club's supporters held up red cards as they marched through Trabzon, supporters in the western region of Kocaeli have reportedly lodged a criminal complaint against the referee for "abuse of power" and "inciting hatred". Tranzonspor were already down to nine men with the score at 1-1 when referee Bitnel red-carded Luis Cavanda for a foul and awarded Galatasaray a penalty. In the ensuing remonstrations by the visitors, the red card dropped to the ground, with Dursun picking it up and waving it at the official, who in return held it up to the player as he sent him off as well. Trabzonspor chairman Muharrem Usta said: "There are messages from all over Turkey, saying 'we are ashamed'. "Salih Dursun showed the red card to Turkish football. This is not a symbol of rebellion. It is a symbol of rebirth." The head of Turkey's central referees' commission, Kuddusi Muftuoglu, conceded: "We share the disappointment of Trabzonspor. "We reward successful referees and take measures against unsuccessful ones." PerfectHome is a rent-to-own business and has 67 stores across the UK. Hull magistrates court convicted the company of aggressive and misleading trading practices after more than 50 sets of house keys were found at the firm's store in the city. PerfectHome said it disagreed with the verdict and planned to appeal. It blamed a previous store manager for a "rogue practice" that was not company policy. Under the rent-to-own model, customers take out an agreement to buy a product, and then pay weekly instalments until they own it - similar to hire purchase agreements. Hull city council's trading standards team launched an investigation into PerfectHome after a customer complained that she had been pressured into giving her house key to them before they delivered her television. Trading standards officers visited PerfectHome's store on Prospect Street in Hull in September 2013 and found more keys belonging to other customers. Lizzie from Hull, who was not part of the court case, told Radio 4's You & Yours that she had to give up her keys after buying a 50-inch TV and Blu-ray player. She said: "I just didn't have the money to buy a TV straight away. I was paying £17.50 a week for about three years." "On the third week when I went in to pay, they said they needed my keys in case I defaulted on paying." "I went and got the keys cut and gave them to them. I just thought it was part of the agreement." Hull magistrates court found PerfectHome had misled customers by failing to inform them of the requirement to provide a key before they signed the hire purchase agreement. The retailer was fined £6,000 in total and ordered to pay £10,000 in costs. John Sandford, principal officer at Hull's trading standards team told You and Yours: "It's misleading to apply a condition if you haven't told the customer about it." "In these cases there's a threat they're going to use the key and hold it over somebody, which is an abuse of power and an aggressive trading practice." Alaric Smith, finance director at PerfectHome, said: "We fundamentally disagree with the magistrates court's verdict, which we believe to be wrong in both law and fact and as such will be appealing. "The issues in the case arose in 2013, are not and never have been routine practice, and were entirely inconsistent with company policy. "Steps were taken at the time to ensure the rogue practices referenced in the case ceased immediately. The store manager concerned is no longer with the business," he added. PerfectHome added it would make contact with its customer Lizzie, and asked other customers concerned about the case to contact the company. Earlier this week, MPs criticised rent-to-own businesses for charging some customers from low incomes up to 94% a year in interest to buy washing machines and TVs. The all-party parliamentary group on debt and personal finance wants the regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, to take action.

HMP Northumberland in Acklington, which houses more than 1,300 male prisoners, will be managed by Sodexo Justice Services from December. The company said it had begun talks with union officials about reducing the site's current workforce of 580. The Prison Officer's Association (POA) accused the firm of "putting profit before public safety". Sodexo, which already operates one prison in Scotland and three in England, was awarded a 15-year contract worth about £250m to manage HMP Northumberland earlier this year. The National Offender Management Service said Sodexo had produced a "compelling bid" to run the prison, formed after the merger of Castington and Acklington jails. In a statement, the company said: "We are currently in consultation with the Ministry of Justice and the recognised unions regarding employment arrangements at HMP Northumberland. "We have shared our proposed reduction in staffing numbers. We aim to achieve this reduction by voluntary means if possible. "Formal consultation with employees will commence after 1 December 2013 when HMP Northumberland employees transfer to Sodexo Justice Services." A spokesman for the POA said: "The announcement that 200 jobs will go at HMP Northumberland will place private profit before public safety. "We insist that Sodexo now provide safe systems of work, risk assessments and staff profiles to ensure that HMP Northumberland is safe, secure and decent for staff, prisoners and the public. "The POA will not tolerate unsafe working practices and unsupervised prisoners. "The warehousing of prisoners will not provide the promised rehabilitation revolution." Sodexo Justice Services is part of the French multinational Sodexo Group, which provides services including catering, cleaning and security. HMP Northumberland was criticised in 2012 after inspectors found a third of inmates spent days in their cells "doing nothing". It has lost £360,000 from a Welsh government-backed grant used to support its educational work for "thousands" of young people, say Wales YFC bosses. The Farmers' Union Wales and NFU Cymru called for a rethink. A Welsh government spokesperson said it offered to meet the Wales Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs to give feedback on its application to help future bids. The organisation has also lost a £20,000 grant from Natural Resources Wales which said its funding scheme was over-subscribed and that it had offered to work with unsuccessful bidders to help them "strengthen their applications". Wales YFC chairman Iwan Meirion said he was "extremely disappointed", adding that both funding schemes were "essential for us to maintain our educational programme for thousands of young people living in rural Wales". Mr Whyte, 46, denies acquiring the club by fraud in May 2011. He also denies another charge under the Companies Act. The Crown alleges he pretended to have funds to make all the required payments for a controlling stake in the club. Judge Lady Stacey addressed the jury after the closing speeches in the case at the High Court in Glasgow. Advocate Depute Alex Prentice QC had told the court that Mr Whyte did not have authority over the funds used in the takeover. Defence QC Donald Findlay described the accused as "the fall guy" in the case. In his closing speech on Monday morning, Mr Findlay told the court former Rangers owner Sir David Murray wanted to protect his legacy at the club but was "badly let down" by others who advised on the sale. Lady Stacey will complete her legal directions on Tuesday before the jury is sent out to consider its verdict. Copthorne Barracks in Shrewsbury was one almost of 100 sites put up for sale by the Ministry of Defence last year as part of a major restructuring. Shropshire Council said rules for such sites meant as few as six affordable homes may be built, despite demand. The MoD said it had a duty to maximise value for taxpayers. Councillor Malcolm Price, in charge of planning at Shropshire Council, said the proposed development of 230 homes on the Shrewsbury site would have usually meant about 46 affordable homes. However, he said the Vacant Buildings Credit (VBC), used in the sale of ex MoD sites across the country, reduced the commitment to build affordable homes on land currently occupied by redundant buildings, thereby increasing its appeal to prospective developers. If it could be overturned, Mr Price said it would be fitting if some of the extra affordable homes could be set aside for former soldiers, given the history of the site. Shropshire Council said it was considering challenging the VBC policy, which it said was letting down former soldiers. The Armed Forces Covenant, signed by both the government and numerous councils, pledges to support current and former members of the British Armed Forces, including access to affordable homes. The MoD said the sale of Copthorne Barracks was part of the Better Defence Estate Strategy, "reinvesting over £4bn to help ensure a modern estate fit for personnel and their families". "We are committed to supporting our veterans, and under the Armed Forces Covenant councils must give preference to veterans with urgent housing needs," a spokesperson said. "We have already allocated £40m of LIBOR funds to projects which provide veterans accommodation." A Dutch team is developing clever waders that enthusiasts can wear to find not only the ideal location to fish, but to collect key hydrological data for scientists. Of most use to both groups would be waders that sensed water temperature. Anglers know this influences where fish go in a river and, for researchers, it betrays details about the movement of water in that river and its chemistry. "We need more data from more streams than we could possibly monitor with our sensor networks," explained Rolf Hut from Delft University of Technology. "Wouldn't it be nice if we had citizens walking around in the water, interested in temperature because they want to know where the fish are, and at the same time providing us with the information we can use for our research?" The data would be collected by a simple temperature probe in the wader boot. This would then travel up a wire to a Bluetooth device above the waist to be passed to a phone in a dry pocket. The angler could use the information straightaway to decide where to stand in the river and cast their fly, while the scientists would receive the details back at the lab over the cell network for later analysis. Dr Hut and his colleagues are interested in the study of hyporheic exchange, which describes how water moves into and out of a stream through its bed. In dry periods, a stream will lose water into the ground; in wet periods, it will gain it - and where the water comes into the stream, it is usually much colder than what it is joining. It used to be thought this was a fairly gradual process along a stream's entire length, but scientists now realise that the exchange in some locations is actually far more significant than in others. The team's smart waders are in the earliest phase of development, but Dr Hut was able to demonstrate the concept at this week's European Geosciences Union General Assembly - albeit in the rather warm and dry setting of the meeting's poster hall. Then there is the question of extending the range of sensors incorporated into the waders. Rolf Hut added: "Why stop at temperature? What about water depth? "For hyporheic exchange, it would be interesting to look at salinity; pH would be really interesting for water quality. "And now there are sensors coming on the market that would do water quality parameters like nitrogen levels, dissolved carbon levels - that are really telling you how healthy a stream is. "So that's not necessarily for hyporheic exchange, but for other fields of hydrology and water management. And that's in the interest of the fishers, by the way, because you need a healthy stream to have fish." Dr Hut's attire at the meeting prompted a chuckle of two from fellow hydrologists, but also admiration for the ingenuity. Nicholas Howden from Bristol University, UK, said: "Hyporheic exchange is a fascinating topic. "For example, groundwater that comes into rivers tends to be very rich in base cations - the kind of stuff salmon need. They will spawn in gravel beds where there is upwelling. "So, these are locations that are ecologically very important for the river." The idea of the smart waders originated from a talk with Scott Tyler of the University of Nevada, Reno.

He spoke as US and Arab jets continued bombing Islamic State (IS) targets in Syria, after attacks began on Tuesday. The UK cabinet has been meeting to discuss possible air strikes in Iraq, with Parliament due to vote on Friday. MPs will debate a motion ruling out any air strikes against Syria or using ground troops. But they will be asked to back UK bombing of IS in Iraq which the motion says poses a "clear threat" to the "territorial integrity" of the country. The motion also "condemns the barbaric acts" of IS and the "humanitarian crisis" the militants are causing. In his UN speech, Mr Cameron said the Iraqi government had made a "clear request" for international military assistance against IS, which has taken control of large parts of Iraq and Syria in recent months. He said this provided a "clear basis in international law for action". by Nick Bryant, BBC United Nations correspondent David Cameron's address at the UN felt like a dress rehearsal for the speech he'll deliver in the House of Commons on Friday, and his target audience seemed to be parliamentarians as much as diplomats in the hall. Other than a few cursory words about Middle East peace, Ukraine and the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, it was devoted almost exclusively to making the case for British air strikes in Iraq. Referring to the war there a decade ago, a conflict lodged so firmly in the minds of parliamentarians, he said that past mistakes should not become an "excuse for indifference or inaction". He was also careful to spell out the legal case for air strikes in Iraq, a touchier issue in Westminster than it is in New York. As well as air strikes, Mr said Western forces could equip, train and support local fighting forces. He said IS, also known as Isil and Isis, had killed people of "every faith and none" and had "murderous plans to expand its borders well beyond Iraq and Syria and to carry out terrorist atrocities right across the world". It comes after a third night of US-led air strikes against the militants targeted oil refineries in Syria. Five civilians and 14 IS fighters were killed in the east of the country, according to UK-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. British jihadists are among those thought to have been killed in air strikes earlier this week. Khadijah Kamara told the BBC she believed her 19-year-old son Ibrahim, who went to Syria in February, was among the dead. The 35-year-old, from Brighton, said: "I forgive him, may God have mercy on him. I'm not angry. "I just pray that God forgives him. Think about how your actions will affect your family. The impact on people who care about you." He is thought to have been fighting with al-Qaeda affiliate group Jabhat al-Nusra, BBC Newsnight's Secunder Kermani said. Our reporter added that a source in Syria had told him that, as well as Mr Kamara, three British men of Bengali heritage from the London area were killed on Monday. Addressing the UN, Mr Cameron said it was "right" to learn lessons from the past - especially from the 2003 invasion of Iraq - but leaders must not be "frozen with fear". "Isolation and withdrawing from a problem like Isil will only make matters worse," he said. "We must not allow past mistakes to become an excuse for indifference or inaction." He also said: Mr Cameron said IS had recruited fighters from around the world, including 500 from Britain. One of these Britons "almost certainly" killed the two American journalists and the British aid worker whose beheadings featured on IS videos posted online in recent weeks, he said. The UN Security Council has adopted a binding resolution compelling states to prevent their nationals joining jihadists in Iraq and Syria. US President Barack Obama chaired the session and called for global efforts to dismantle the IS "network of death". The president said more than 40 countries had offered to join the coalition against IS. The US started bombing IS targets in Iraq last month and began air attacks in Syria on Tuesday. Labour and the Liberal Democrats are supporting the plan for UK air strikes in Iraq. Sir Menzies Campbell - a former Lib Dem leader and prominent opponent of the 2003 Iraq invasion - said he was "satisfied there are perfectly sound legal grounds" for the attack. "The request has been made by the Iraqi government," he told Sky News. "The very future of Iraq is at stake and we're quite entitled to adopt and accept that request and to become involved" Sir Menzies accused IS of "systematic barbarism", adding: "Effectively there's ethnic cleansing going on." Full text of Friday's Commons motion That this House: Condemns the barbaric acts of ISIL against the peoples of Iraq including the Sunni, Shia, Kurds, Christians and Yazidi and the humanitarian crisis this is causing; Recognises the clear threat ISIL pose to the territorial integrity of Iraq and the request from the government of Iraq for military support from the international community and the specific request to the UK government for such support; Further recognises the threat ISIL poses to wider international security and the UK directly through its sponsorship of terrorist attacks and its murder of a British hostage; Acknowledges the broad coalition contributing to military support of the government of Iraq, including countries throughout the Middle East; Further acknowledges the request of the government of Iraq for international support to defend itself against the threat ISIL poses to Iraq and its citizens, and the clear legal basis that this provides for action in Iraq; Notes that this motion does not endorse UK air strikes in Syria as part of this campaign, and any proposal to do so would be subject to a separate vote in Parliament; Accordingly supports Her Majesty's Government, working with allies, in supporting the government of Iraq in protecting civilians and restoring its territorial integrity, including the use of UK air strikes to support Iraqi, including Kurdish, security forces' efforts against ISIL in Iraq; Notes that Her Majesty's Government will not deploy UK troops in ground combat operations; Offers its wholehearted support to the men and women of Her Majesty's armed forces. BBC deputy political editor James Landale said the government was "confident" of winning Friday's vote - but it did not propose military action in Syria because of the legal impediments of acting there without the support of the Assad regime. However, former UK attorney general Dominic Grieve told BBC Newsnight the Iraqi government's request for help could make it possible for the UK to take military action in Syria without breaching international law. He said there was evidence that some attacks were "spilling over the border" from Syria into Iraq, so the UK could use "reasonable, necessary and proportionate means" to help Iraq defend itself. He said it might also be possible to make a legal case for intervening in Syria under the "doctrine of humanitarian necessity" to protect people from IS genocide. Part of Kenneth Grahame's novel was inspired by Goring Weir, which will be developed to provide electricity for 300 homes. Charles Streeten, appearing for Goring Council, read out a passage where Mole is "listening to the pleasant sound of water lapping over a weir". The judge described the excerpt as "telling" but dismissed the challenge. Mr Justice Cranston said: "Books such as Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men In A Boat and Kenneth Grahame's Wind In The Willows have descriptions of the villages or drew inspiration from the site of Goring Weir." He also said the stretch of the Thames between the villages of Goring and Streatley, located in a conservation area, had a rich cultural history. However, he added the decision to give the scheme on the Oxfordshire and Berkshire border the go-ahead in March was not irrational and South Oxfordshire District Council was entitled to reach the planning judgment it did. Mr Streeten fears the scheme will cause noise pollution and visually harm the site. He read the passage out of the Mole character "mucking about in a boat on the river" to emphasise his point. Part of the existing weir at Goring Lock will be demolished to make way for the three 3.5m (11ft) diameter screws needed for the scheme. It will also include a fish pass, eel pass and a flood control gate. Dobrev triumphed in the 94kg category in Athens. He also claimed gold at the 2003 world championships and won two European titles before retiring in 2008. "I can't stop crying," Bulgaria's former weightlifting coach Plamen Asparuhov said. "He was the best person I ever knew." Doctors confirmed Dobrev died of a heart attack. Bulgarian weightlifters have won 11 Olympic titles since 1972, making it one the most successful sports in the Balkan country. Roberts' brother Ben died after he was hit by a car aged just 16, in October. He has also been plagued by persistent hamstring injuries, but made a return to the first team earlier this month with Oxford third in the table. "It's been an awful year for me and my family," the 19-year-old academy graduate told BBC Radio Oxford. "It's a hell of a time to be part of what's happening here at Oxford and to have had the chance to come back. I feel I've done well for the team when I've been involved." Roberts has made one start and three appearances off the bench since his return in the 5-1 win at Crawley on 9 April. "This has been a bonus to not just me, but to my family as well," he added. "That's important because they love watching me play. They travel up and down the country following me. "But, it's a bonus to be back playing with a group of players who are fantastic." Daniel Brooks, of Basildon, arrived in Switzerland for the next stage in the European tour without his clubs. He tweeted saying that after his clubs were lost, Easyjet then sent them to the wrong place for collection. The travel firm has apologised and said it hoped to reunite Brooks with his clubs soon. In the tweet, Brooks said: "First you lose my golf clubs. Then I fill out a form for where they need to go to and you take them somewhere else. What's going on?" Easyjet then responded suggesting he contacted its baggage claims department. Brooks asked for his clubs to be sent to him at the Swiss golf complex in Crans-Montana. It is understood they have instead been sent to Gatwick Airport 483 miles (777km) away. When he struck the hole in one at the 166 yard 11th hole, Brooks became the first golfer to make a hole-in-one at The Open at St Andrews since 1990, and the first in any Open since 2012. His father Mick Brooks said: "His clubs had not arrived. His manager has been trying to sort out where his clubs are. They are all sized up for him. "I hope they turn up before he kicks off on Thursday." An Easyjet spokeswoman said: "We apologise for any inconvenience experienced. "We are investigating this thoroughly with our ground staff and baggage handling partners and hope to reunite the passenger with their baggage today." Tomasz Procko and Karol Symanski died in the fall in Cadogan Square, Knightsbridge, in November 2014. Martinisation (London) Ltd has been charged with corporate manslaughter and health and safety breaches. Mr Procko, 22, and Mr Symanski, 29, fell when the railings gave way. The company's director Martin Gutaj, is also accused of health and safety offences. Six other people were injured in the incident. Zoe Martin, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said a hearing had been scheduled for 6 June at Westminster Magistrates' Court. Sian Harkin, 54, used cheques from Llwyncelyn Infant School claiming the money was for a shelter for pupils' parents. Merthyr Crown Court heard she gave them to Lee Slocombe, a convicted fraudster who had manipulated her. Harkin, of Pontypridd, admitted fraud, theft and forgery charges. The court heard that the teacher had fallen under the "spell" of the conman - who has since been jailed - and that she had believed his "sob stories". Marion Lewis, defending, told the court that the head teacher was "devastated" and "thoroughly ashamed" of what she had done. Prosecuting, Rachel Knight said: "She took it upon herself to dip into school funds. She abused her position of trust. "She had significant financial responsibility but defrauded the school and thereby the community." When questioned, Harkin said the money was to build a rain shelter for waiting parents - but the work was never ratified by governors. On one occasion she forged the deputy head's name in order to cash a cheque, the hearing was told. CCTV footage showed her cashing a cheque for £3,200 in a bank after forging the signature of her colleague. Marion Lewis, defending, said: "The effects of her wrongdoing have been devastating. A successful career that she dearly loved has been destroyed. She is thoroughly ashamed. "She knows the effect her actions have had on the school and deeply regrets them." Jailing her for a year, Judge Richard Twomlow said: "You were so under his (Slocombe's) influence that you were prepared to do things you should not have to assist him." Speaking after the case, her husband Anthony, a bank manager, said: "I want to stress that every penny of the money spent on our house came from my pocket and not from the school's funds. "I am a bank manager and have proved to police that each pound and penny was met by us. "What Slocombe did with the money from the school is a mystery. He is very plausible and a convicted fraudster. He said his wife had given Slocombe the money to build a shelter at the school. "We feel very let down by Slocombe over the two-and-a-bit years he worked with us," he added. "He has conned many, many people out of thousands of pounds. We trusted him as did many other people and were bitterly let down." Lee Slocombe was jailed in February for 43 months after defrauding customers of £43,000. Australia's Bureau of Meteorology predicted that it could become a "substantial" event later in the year. The phenomenon arises from variations in ocean temperatures. The El Nino is still in its early stages, but has the potential to cause extreme weather around the world, according to forecasters. US scientists announced in April that El Nino had arrived, but it was described then as "weak". Australian scientists said models suggested it could strengthen from September onwards, but it was too early to determine with confidence how strong it could be. "This is a proper El Nino effect, it's not a weak one," David Jones, manager of climate monitoring and prediction at the Bureau of Meteorology, told reporters. "You know, there's always a little bit of doubt when it comes to intensity forecasts, but across the models as a whole we'd suggest that this will be quite a substantial El Nino event." An El Nino comes along about every two to seven years as part of a natural cycle. Every El Nino is different, and once one has started, models can predict how it might develop over the next six to nine months, with a reasonable level of accuracy. How can we predict El Nino? In the tropical Pacific Ocean, scientists operate a network of buoys that measure temperature, currents and winds. The data - and other information from satellites and meteorological observations - is fed into complex computer models designed to predict an El Nino. However, the models cannot predict the precise intensity or duration of an El Nino, or the areas likely to be affected. Researchers are trying to improve their models to give more advance notice. A strong El Nino five years ago was linked with poor monsoons in Southeast Asia, droughts in southern Australia, the Philippines and Ecuador, blizzards in the US, heatwaves in Brazil and extreme flooding in Mexico. Another strong El Nino event was expected during last year's record-breaking temperatures, but failed to materialise. Prof Eric Guilyardi of the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading said it would become clear in the summer whether this year might be different. "The likelihood of El Nino is high but its eventual strength in the winter when it has its major impacts worldwide is still unknown," he said. "We will know in the summer how strong it is going to be." The El Nino is a warming of the Pacific Ocean as part of a complex cycle linking atmosphere and ocean. The phenomenon is known to disrupt weather patterns around the world, and can bring wetter winters to the southwest US and droughts to northern Australia. The consequences of El Nino are much less clear for Europe and the UK. Research suggests that extreme El Nino events will become more likely as global temperatures rise. Follow Helen on Twitter. Ruthin Chamber of Trade claim products sold in the market are similar to those being sold by shops on the high street. It wrote to market bosses and asked if the issue should be considered when stalls were let. But it sparked an angry response and committee members have been banned due to the "audacious interference". The website of the chamber of trade, which is made up of local business people who pay an annual £15 subscription, says the group was set up to "create a spirit of goodwill, friendship, and unity amongst the business community". The letter said: "All the traders in the shops and in the market are finding it difficult enough without the added challenge of direct competition in a small town," the letter said. "The chamber would appreciate your consideration in this matter." Market managers Tony and Sue Shaw, in their reply to the chamber, said competition was good for customers and that they were "appalled" by the attempt to interfere with the running of the market. "We have been in business for over 40 years and need neither advice nor help from you or your committee to run our thriving business," they said. "Due to your audacious interference and to underline our strength of feeling at your interjection, we have no alternative but to bar you and your committee members from Ruthin Indoor Market with immediate effect." The court case is being heard behind closed doors but Peter Madsen's explanation of what happened was released after a request from the defence and prosecution. Ms Wall was last seen on Mr Madsen's submarine on the night of 10 August. The search for her body continues. In a statement, Copenhagen police also said that maritime authorities had determined the route the submarine travelled in Koge Bay and the Oresund strait before sinking. Mr Madsen, 46, claims that he left her body somewhere in Koge Bay, south of Copenhagen, the police said. A search effort involving divers, helicopters and ships has been under way along the identified route since Friday. The Danish inventor has been charged with negligent manslaughter. The police say they cannot release any more information at this time. Peter Madsen's lawyer, Betina Hald Engmark, said her client had not admitted any wrongdoing. She said he had given evidence to the police during preliminary questioning and "information from this" had now emerged. "My client has not confessed to anything, my client still pleads not guilty to the charges against him," she said. Ms Wall, a 30-year-old journalist who wrote for several international publications, was first reported missing by her boyfriend after she failed to return from what should have been a short trip on the UC3 Nautilus submarine. She had been researching a feature about Mr Madsen and his 40-tonne submarine, which at one stage was the largest privately-made vessel of its kind. Police believe the submarine was deliberately sunk by Mr Madsen, who was rescued before being arrested. Mr Madsen initially said he dropped Ms Wall off after dark on 10 August, close to where they had met earlier. But police later said he had given them a new account of events, which was not made public at the time. The wilful fireraising took place in Craigearn Park, Kemnay, on Hogmanay. No-one was injured in the fire, which was just before midnight, but the property was damaged. Officers have said there was "significant" risk of harm in this type of incident and urged anyone who saw anything suspicious to get in touch. Det Sgt Martyn Thomson, of Police Scotland, said: "We are treating the fire as wilful and would appeal to anyone with information to get in touch with us as soon as possible. "This type of behaviour will not be tolerated. It goes without saying that the risk of harm was significant and the consequences could have been far greater." Joey Barton slotted the Clarets ahead, before Sam Vokes doubled the lead 28 seconds after the restart. Andre Gray headed a third before Matthew Lowton rifled into the top corner. Antony Kay was then sent off for hauling down George Boyd, who duly completed the rout after a flowing counter-attack. The Dons had started the game brightly, with Rob Hall curling an effort just over after being played in by Ben Reeves. But the game turned when Dean Potter was robbed by Barton and the midfielder advanced into the area and beat David Martin for his first Burnley goal. And the hosts' hopes of getting back into the game in the second half were immediately wrecked when Welsh international Vokes broke away and ran clear before sliding the ball into the corner of the net. Gray added his fifth goal in five games before Lowton and Boyd compounded the Dons' misery. It was a first win in six away games for Sean Dyche's side, who remain the only Championship side yet to drop a point from leading positions this season. MK Dons manager Karl Robinson: "I think that it's important we use this night in a very positive way. The fans are disappointed and the players are too, but we will use it as a driver and a motivator. "The players are sat in there embarrassed and rightly so, equally as much as I am embarrassed, but how you respond to results like this is what determines how you are as a man. "Do you stand there and let it knock your confidence and reject you to the point where you want to shrivel up and hide, or do you want to put on your armour and your shield and stand there and take the criticism and move forward and galvanise this stadium? That's what we need to do." Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "I was pleased with the second half and not just with the second goal but the way we controlled the game and set the tone with a lot of good play and organisation. "We didn't come here expecting an easy ride by any means and I was pleased with the professionalism of the players to show that. "I think that we're a strong outfit, we believe in what we are doing, the players believe in what they are doing and I think that was on show. "It was a reminder the players want to play and we are up for the fight. We know how tough this division is and we showed that fight tonight." Media playback is not supported on this device The event will take place despite a World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) commissioned report, which made the allegations, advising against the country hosting major sporting events. Yarnold, who won gold in Sochi in 2014, said her sport was "by no means clean". The Briton, 28, has returned to training after more than a year out. A second Wada report from Canadian law professor and sports lawyer Dr Richard McLaren is due next month and is expected to clarify concerns about doping, specifically at the 2014 Winter Olympics. "We've had these McLaren reports which have lots of allegations and I just hope that if people can be convicted of doping they should serve their time," Yarnold said. "It's very important to me to compete in sport for the right reasons, to have sportsmanship and to be clean; to stand on the start line and to trust in the system - and at the moment the system just isn't up to it." Asked whether she would compete in 2017 as it stands, Yarnold said: "At the moment I want to leave it open that I don't know whether I'm going to compete in Sochi." The British Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association said it "fully supports clean sport" and wants all its athletes to compete on an "equal footing". "We continue to seek reassurance from our international governing body, the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF)," the governing body added in a statement. "As an organisation, we are in regular dialogue with UK Anti-Doping, the World Anti-Doping Agency and the IBSF and we await the publication of Professor Richard McLaren's second report, which is scheduled for December." The first McLaren report, which was released in July 2016, stated that the programme in Russia was "planned and operated" from late 2011 - including the build-up to London 2012 - and continued through the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics until August 2015. It looked into allegations made by the former head of Russia's national anti-doping laboratory. Grigory Rodchenkov claimed he doped dozens of athletes before the 2014 Winter Olympics, which were held in Sochi. But a statement released by the Kremlin criticised the report as "accusations against Russian athletes" based on the the testimony of "a person with a scandalous reputation". The Work and Pensions Committee warned that gaps in the system could also increase the number of self-employed people working for "cash in hand". But the government said its reforms were expected to cut losses due to fraud by £1bn over the next five years. Universal Credit merges six working-age benefits into a single payment. These are jobseeker's allowance, income-related employment and support allowance, income support, child tax credit, working tax credit and housing benefit. Universal Credit is gradually being rolled out, with completion expected by 2017. Under the current housing benefit system, local authorities can cross-check claims across a range of data relating to other council services. The committee said that, unless the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could cross-check Universal Credit claims in a similar way, it could be less effective in tackling fraud and error. The MPs expressed particular concern over the management of the £24bn-a-year housing benefit element of Universal Credit, which accounts for fraud and error losses of £1.2 billion, more than double any other core benefit. The Department for Work and Pensions is relying on a new real-time information (RTI) system developed by HM Revenue and Customs to facilitate the collection of PAYE income tax in order to calculate claimants' monthly benefit entitlements. Q&A: Universal credit But the committee said it had received evidence from the Local Authority Investigation Officers Group which voiced concern that RTI might even increase the number of people working for "cash in hand". "RTI cannot provide the complete solution, as it will not apply to a significant proportion of claimants who are paid outside the PAYE system, including the self-employed," the committee said. "Moreover, the full gains of RTI in relation to reducing benefit fraud and error are largely dependent on the successful national implementation of Universal Credit, which is at least three years away by the most optimistic schedule." The committee's chairman, Labour MP Dame Anne Begg, said: "Through the use of RTI, Universal Credit has the potential over the longer term to substantially reduce fraud and error in the benefits system. "However, this could be seriously undermined because of the uncertainty about how DWP will administer the housing element of Universal Credit without increased risks of fraud and error." But a DWP spokesman said: "Universal Credit is expected to reduce losses due to fraud and error by £1bn in the next five years when it's fully in place. "This modern, simpler and easier-to-administer benefit is running successfully and we are continuing to work closely with local authorities to ensure its continued safe and secure rollout. "We are absolutely committed to doing all we can to reduce the level of fraud and error in the benefit system, which has fallen since 2010." On an emotional evening at The Valley, the club paid tribute to PC Keith Palmer, a lifelong fan and season-ticket holder who was killed in the Westminster attack. PC Palmer's brother John Curtis and 22 members of the police force joined the teams in laying wreaths and holding a minute's silence before kick-off. It was a classy display off the pitch, but a typically poor one on it for Karl Robinson's side, against his former club. The visitors took the lead after just seven minutes, Barnes forcing a smart save from Addicks keeper Declan Rudd only for O'Keefe to react first and tuck in the rebound. Charlton almost levelled after 19 minutes when Ricky Holmes cut across the edge of the Dons' penalty area, but he pulled his shot narrowly wide. Barnes should have doubled MK Dons' lead before half-time but blazed his shot high and wide. After the break Robbie Muirhead curled a free-kick narrowly over for the Dons, but they extended their advantage in the 57th minute. Ed Upson drove inside and found teenage Leicester loanee Barnes, who strolled into the area and curled home a fine strike. Dons sub Kieran Agard almost added a third but his close-range effort clipped the post. Match report supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Charlton Athletic 0, MK Dons 2.

It was once home to Black Caps cricketers Scott Styris and BJ Watling, current All Black Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Lions and Ireland back Jared Payne. Also among the old boys is the man currently trying to mastermind the downfall of the New Zealand team in the forthcoming Test series against the Lions - Warren Gatland himself. The school motto - "Sapiens fortunam fingit sibi" ("a wise man carves his own fortune") - could easily apply to the much-travelled Gatland, who has coached in England, Ireland and Wales, in addition to his native New Zealand. This week, the British and Irish Lions head coach goes home to Hamilton as his side play the Chiefs - their last match before the opening Test against the formidable All Blacks on Saturday in Auckland. Gatland, now 53, will be returning to the place where it all began in the late 1970s. He joined the school as a 15-year-old, and immediately stood out as not only a talented athlete, but a leader of men. Glenn Ross - who has also coached far and wide, from Waikato, to Connacht, Sale and Northampton - was the master in charge of rugby when Gatland arrived. "Warren arrived in the fifth form and was known as a talented ball player," Ross told BBC Sport. "I very quickly realised the boy had a brain ahead of his time, and he became an outstanding captain for our first XV. "He didn't say a lot that didn't need to be said. He was very astute, chose his words wisely, very popular with his boys, but tactically very aware." Gatland, who was also a talented cricketer, combined a job as a PE teacher with playing for Waikato after he left school, but according to Ross he was always destined to go into coaching. "He understood the game, and he had coach written all over him from the days he was captain of the school team," added Ross, who went on to coach Gatland at provincial level. "He was an outstanding player. He was a very accurate player, very skilful." Gatland made 140 appearances for Waikato between 1986 and 1994 and Ross was involved in his transition from number eight to hooker. But Gatland can consider himself unfortunate to have found his path to the All Blacks blocked by the legendary Sean Fitzpatrick, who made 92 appearances for New Zealand between 1987 and 1997. It was an era when players only came off the bench if there was an injury, and although Gatland went on four overseas tours with the All Blacks he had to be content with 17 non-international appearances. Steve Gordon first met Gatland as a teenager when they both played together for the Hamilton Old Boys side and they have been friends ever since. Gordon - twice an All Blacks lock forward - reckons that Gatland "helped him immensely" with his own game, but that off the field he was "just one of the boys". "So many stories start 'remember that time with Gatty' and guys start laughing," remembers Gordon. "He was mischief personified - a great cards player. He loved playing 'slave of the day' - you play cards and if you lost, you had to be someone's slave for the day. I was his slave many times, he was good at cards. "He would make me call him 'master', you might be trying to impress some people and he would call you over and make you call him 'master'." Gatland's role as the head coach of the Lions brings with it huge media scrutiny - especially in New Zealand. Has it changed him as a person? Is he a different character from the card player with a glint in his eye of 30 years ago? "He has been kicked around a little by the press, so he is a lot more guarded, and that comes with the territory of being in that environment," explains Gordon. "But when he is in a social setting with people that he trusts, we get the real Gatty." Gatland began coaching in the late 1980s with Taupiri, a small township of about 450 people of the eastern bank of the Waikato river. By 1998, he was in charge at Connacht in Ireland and approached to take over as coach of the national team. He took up the role and lined up Ross to replace him in Galway. It was a sign of his loyalty. It is a trait of Gatland, and the people of Waikato in general. "After Warren went to Ireland, I got a call from him when things weren't going very well for me where I was," added Ross. "He's a very loyal guy, I'm pretty sure that's part of it." And Gordon said: "That's the thing with Gatty - and all his players will appreciate it - the absolute loyalty. If you commit to him fully, he will return that." 'Warren is just like another old boy when he calls in' The Gatland family legacy lives on at Hamilton Boys' High School. On the walk from reception to the main hall are newspaper clippings of the school's greatest sporting moments. One of them is about Gatland's son, Bryn, who dropped a last-minute goal to win the schools Grand Final in 2013. "If you know Warren you know he is not a pushy kind of dad," added Nigel Hotham, the school's head coach and Bryn's rugby coach at first XV level. "He never really questioned me, he would always wait for me to ask something and then would have a couple of sharp things to say. I always appreciated his time, I never saw it as a threat; he's not that kind of person. "What's important about Warren is he only says the important things. You won't get mixed messages; he goes straight for the jugular. I was always much more careful of [Gatland's wife] Trudi than Warren." Susan Hassall taught Gatland as a pupil, and has been the headmaster of the school for 17 years. "Warren is very good at calling in when he comes back. He is just another old boy. He doesn't profess to be a Lions coach; there is a humility about him which is typical of New Zealanders, and something we have to cherish. He has never changed." In 2011, Gatland was inducted into the school hall of fame, a prestigious honour. "It is for old boys who have done something very special for the school and the wider community, so we were very proud to have him back to the school to receive his award," added Hassall. "He was gracious and he spoke about how hard you have to work to realise your goal and your vision for yourself, and that's a wonderful message. "So, for the boys to see someone who has achieved on the international stage - doing something that he wants to do - that is an example of what is possible." Gatland's return to New Zealand this time around hasn't been without challenges. The Lions have been beaten twice already, with the Kiwi media putting the heat on Gatland and his side going into the Test series. The coach has also had to face accusations of devaluing the Lions shirt by calling up a handful of players deemed undeserving of wearing the prestigious jersey. Visibly rattled earlier in the tour, Gatland has fought back. After the Lions crushed the Maori in Rotorua on Saturday, he fired a few shots and turned the tables on his All Blacks counterpart Steve Hansen, saying he will be "a little bit worried" by the threat posed by the Lions. Media playback is not supported on this device And those that know him best are in agreement that the greater the challenge for Gatland, the greater the motivation. "It would please him to think the opposition has got him rattled; he will enjoy that," said Ross. Hotham puts it this way: "Any coach of the Lions is on a hiding to nothing in New Zealand, but if anyone can cope with that, Warren can." Gordon reckons the Lions tour of New Zealand is the "pinnacle of rugby", adding: "He's got to be enjoying it. "He's really, really calculating and loyal to the end. If that annoys some people, so be it. But he is in charge and has been charged with trying to win a Test series. That's his number one priority. What other people are saying won't worry him." Gatland may be public enemy number one to the New Zealand public while he plots the downfall of the All Blacks, but there is one town in his homeland where he will always be warmly cherished. Spain's Christmas lottery, known as "El Gordo" or "the fat one", is a national event. It has been going since 1812 and an estimated three-quarters of Spaniards and thousands of foreigners play each year. The odds are good - around a million people walk away with cash prizes - and El Gordo is the world's biggest lottery in financial terms. It handed out 2.5bn euros last Christmas. Unlike other lotteries, players do not choose numbers. They buy a ticket with a 5-digit number on and anyone who has that ticket when the the numbers are called - or, more accurately,sung out by schoolchildrenat a televised event in Madrid - wins a share of the prize. Because of the nature of the system, tickets in a series are often sold by the same vendor, meaning the winners usually come from the same towns. The draw is always held just before Christmas to offer people some festive cheer. In 2011's El Gordo, all 1,800 winning tickets were sold in Granen (population 2,100) in the arid and recession-hit Los Monegros area of Huesca province. Winners scooped 400,000 euros per ticket. As the news came in, celebrating residents poured onto the streets to congratulate each other. But spare a thought for Costis Mitsotakis. The Greek filmmaker was the only person in the 70-strong village of Sodeto, near Granen, not to win a prize. Apparently the homeowners' association forgot about him when they were collecting money for a share in a ticket. The EuroMillions lottery is held twice a week across nine European countries - Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. As the stakes are pooled from different countries, the prizes are often life-changing. The biggest winners to date areColin and Chris Weirfrom Ayrshire, Scotland, who bagged 185m euros (£161m) last July. They said they were "tickled pink" at the news and planned to use the money to go travelling. The Weirs have recently found themselves caught up in apolitical spat, however, after they donated £1m to Alex Salmond's SNP party. The Scottish first minister hosted the lucky winners at his official residence days before their donation last year - leading the Labour party to accuse him of misusing government resources. The British have done particularly well in recent EuroMillions draws, taking five of the jackpots this year alone. But France has had the biggest number of jackpot winners since the lottery started in 2004, with 55, followed by Spain (48) and Portugal (42). For the cost of a $1 ticket, one lucky Mega Millions player could be walking away with $640m on 30 March. The way the lottery is set up, the winner will only receive the full prize if they agree to have it paid in instalments over a number of years. Otherwise, they can walk away with a $460m cash prize. Players pay $1 (63p) for a ticket and must pick five numbers from 1 to 56, plus a Mega number from 1 to 46 to win the jackpot. Since the lottery began in 1996, the biggest jackpot has been $390m in March 2007. That prize was split between two winners in Georgia and New Jersey. But winners like Andrew Jackson Whittaker serve to show that money does not always buy happiness. The West Virginia businessman won $315m in 2002, at that time the largest jackpot in history won by a single person. He had a happy family and a successful business when his numbers came up, but within five years he had been arrested twice, robbed several times and had around 400 legal claims against him. He told ABC News: "You know, my wife had said she wished that she had torn the ticket up. Well, I wish that we had torn the ticket up too." Distinctive shrapnel damage to the plane points to a fragmentation weapon - such as a BUK - downing the plane. The Kremlin had previously suggested that the missile was from a Ukrainian fighter jet. Pro-Russian rebels have denied any possession of a BUK. However, photographs and videos cast doubt on the claim by the Kremlin and pro-Russian rebels - that they did not have a BUK missile launcher on their territory. Three eyewitnesses, all civilians, separately told Panorama that they saw a missile-launcher in rebel-held territory a few hours before the Boeing jet was hit. One eyewitness saw the missile-launcher roll off a low-loader at Snezhnoye, around ten miles from the crash site, at around 13:30 local time (10:30 GMT). "We just saw it being offloaded and when the BUK started its engine the exhaust smoke filled the whole town square," he said. The eyewitness told the BBC that the crew struck him as Russian soldiers: "Well-disciplined, unlike the rebels, and not wearing the standard Ukrainian camouflage uniform sported by government and rebel troops alike." "They had pure Russian accents. They say the letter 'g' differently to us," he said. In eastern Ukraine, most people speak Russian but the BUK crew did not speak Russian with a local accent. His testimony was confirmed by a second eyewitness, who added that an officer in a military jeep escorting the BUK spoke with a Muscovite accent. If correct, the Kremlin has to explain to the relatives of the 298 passengers and crew who died - including ten Britons - why Russian military personnel were allegedly seen in the area escorting a BUK shortly before MH17 was shot down. If these eyewitnesses are right, then the BUK crew may have been part of the Kremlin's 'Ghost Army' - reportedly thousands of Russian soldiers who have been secretly infiltrated into Ukraine and have tipped the military balance heavily in the rebels' favour. The Kremlin's denial of military support to the rebels is countered by a mass of evidence, including a video of a mechanised battalion column of Russian tanks and military hardware shot from the back of a bus in Ukraine. Fresh graves of alleged Russian soldiers killed in the fighting in Ukraine also tell a wholly different story to the Kremlin's official line that it has no role in the war. Last week Panorama caught up with Mr Putin in Yakutsk's Mammoth Museum in Siberia and asked him if he regretted the killings in Ukraine. He parried the question and was quick to blame the Ukrainian government for not talking to the rebels and its army for "shelling residential areas". The president has a point. When I was in Donetsk in July, the Ukrainian army, seeking to shell a rebel base in the city, missed and hit the maternity hospital. Fortunately expectant mums and newborn babies had already been moved down to a cellar. Human Rights Watch has condemned both the government and rebel sides for indiscriminate shelling of civilians. But Mr Putin left as I tried to tackle him on Russia's actions in the war and MH17, so those questions remain unanswered. Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once Russia's richest man who spent ten years in prison after he crossed President Putin, said: "The prospect of democratic change of power in Russia does not exist any more. There will be more blood in the future." The two-day meeting, which ended on Thursday, was the first time the Asean group of nations have met in the US with President Barack Obama But while they were boosting co-operation, there was time for a walk around the Sunnylands estate in California where the meeting took place, and the odd selfie. Cambodia's PM Hun Sen, who has faced criticism for threatening to punish those who insult him on social media, showed us his official side... And his more off duty side... Wales say Harry Jones suffered a seizure in two previous games because of flash photography. They are scheduled for a fifth-placed play-off game versus Spain on Thursday. "Harry has been carried off on a stretcher because of photography," Wales manager Mark Andrew Jones said. Banning flash photography isn't a competition rule at the rugby league World Cup but Wales requested to tournament bosses that announcements be made to both the crowd and photographers. Wales boss Jones says they are pushing for it to be brought in as a rule in future tournaments. "There are announcements and posters at every game regarding flash photography. We now remove the team from the pitch until it's sorted," he said. "Harry has photo sensitive epilepsy and flash photography can affect him quite badly, to the point of a seizure. "He has had to be carried off on a stretcher because of flash photography. "We made the organisers aware we would request no flash photography and the organisers have been helpful in trying to make that happen. "It is not a rule, but Wales rugby league will take it up with international bodies to make it a rule not to use flash photography in the future. "If we see flash photography, the Wales team will come off the pitch until the problem is sorted. "If you had seen the condition Harry was in, you would not see that as a drastic measure... it is all about player safety." England play in the final of the rugby league World Cup on Friday. Jonaade Hussain, 27, and the teenager appeared before magistrates in Leeds earlier. The investigation relates to a "crash-for-cash" trial that resulted in four men being jailed for offences including the manslaughter of a woman aged 88. A 28-year-old man who was also arrested remains in police custody. The three people were initially arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to intimidate jurors and perverting the course of justice. Betty Laird died in hospital after a car she was travelling in was hit on Old Lane, Beeston, Leeds, in 2014, in a staged "crash-for-cash" collision. Mr Hussain, from Leeds, was remanded in custody while the girl, who cannot be named because of her age, was released on bail, West Yorkshire Police said. Dennehy, 31, admits stabbing three men and dumping their bodies in ditches in Cambridgeshire. Cambridge Crown Court heard she was driven by a thirst "for blood" as she sought further victims. The footage was shown at the trial of Gary Stretch and Leslie Layton, accused of helping her cover up the killings. Dennehy, of Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, has admitted murdering Lukasz Slaboszewski, 31, John Chapman, 56, and Kevin Lee, 48, who were found dumped in ditches in March and April last year. She also admits preventing their lawful and decent burial. Mr Stretch, real name Gary Richards, 47, of Riseholme, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, denies preventing the lawful burial of all three men and two counts of attempted murder in relation to attacks in Hereford. Mr Layton, 36, of Bifield, Orton Goldhay, denies perverting the course of justice and preventing the lawful burial of the bodies of Mr Chapman and Mr Lee. In the CCTV footage, Dennehy can be seen entering Green Lane Stores in Hereford with a man called Mark Lloyd. The court heard he was driving around the city with Dennehy and Mr Stretch last year when she stabbed two dog-walkers, Robin Bereza and John Rogers. Dennehy has admitted their attempted murders. Minutes before the attacks, Dennehy and Mr Lloyd stopped at the shop and bought tobacco. Mr Lloyd told the jury that the "till was open, she was armed... I thought she was going to jump the counter and rob the till". The footage showed Dennehy leaving the shop while Mr Lloyd waited behind, at which point, he told the court, he considered telling the assistant to call police, but there was no time. During cross-examination by Mr Stretch's counsel, Karim Khalil QC, Mr Lloyd said he had been scared of Dennehy and had no choice but to join the pair on the journey from King's Lynn, Norfolk, to Hereford. He added: "If she had told me to put my head through the windscreen, I would have done." Jurors have been told Dennehy likened herself and Mr Stretch to American outlaws Bonnie and Clyde and have seen pictures of her smiling and posing with a knife shortly after murdering Mr Slaboszewski, Mr Chapman and Mr Lee. Another picture showed her flashing her bra and showing off self-harming scars. Mr Stretch was photographed mimicking her pose and making an obscene gesture to the camera. Describing the moment he found out the pair were wanted by police, Mr Lloyd said he "thought it was Gary who done the murders because he's 7ft 2in and looks like Herman off The Munsters". "She looks like butter wouldn't melt until she opens her bloody mouth." Mr Lloyd told the court that as they made their way to Hereford, Dennehy had said: "I want to have my fun." She had made it clear she wanted "a man with a dog" and Mr Stretch had helped with this search, he added. Describing the attack on the first man, Mr Bereza, he said that he "thought she was going to mug him but then it twigged on me". "I thought, 'you just want blood'." After the second attack, on dog-walker Mr Rogers, Dennehy climbed back into the Vauxhall Astra driven by Mr Stretch. She was carrying Mr Rogers' whippet and told the pair: "It's me only friend." Mr Lloyd said that "afterwards, Gary drove off very, very calmly". "It was as if they'd just stopped for McDonald's." The trial continues. The South African originally signed a two-year deal when he joined the Welsh county in the winter of 2013. Glamorgan announced the deal on the day all-rounder Jim Allenby left the county to join Somerset and Craig Meschede signed on a season-long loan. A club statement said Rudolph was "one of the key senior players around which Glamorgan will build their future." Rudolph has previously played county cricket for Surrey and Yorkshire. The left-hander has played 48 Tests for South Africa at an average of 35.43 runs and also has a slightly higher average in one-day internationals. He was Glamorgan best one-day batsman in 2014, scoring 575 at an average of 82.14 in the 50-over game and averaged 60.33 in the T20 league. Glamorgan finished second from bottom in division two of the County Championship last season, but even in a struggling team Rudolph scored 857 runs at an average of 31.74. Yasutaro Koide, who was born on 13 March 1903, was officially named the oldest man by Guinness World Records in August last year. At the time he was quoted as saying his secret to long life was not smoking or drinking, not to overdo things and to "live with joy". Officials said he died of heart failure and pneumonia early on Tuesday. It is not yet clear who succeeds him as the oldest man. The title of world's oldest person is held by American woman Susannah Mushatt Jones, who is 116 years old. She took the title last year after the death of Misao Okawa in Japan at the age of 117. The oldest person who has ever lived according to Guinness was Jeanne Calment of France, who lived 122 years and 164 days. She died in August 1997. Batsman Bragg missed their opening three Division Two games because of a back injury, but has since returned in the One Day Cup. Fast bowler Timm Van der Gugten is also included after his recent return. Meanwhile, Marchant de Lange has been reprimanded over his bowling against Hampshire in the One Day Cup. De Lange was judged to have committed a level one breach by bowling a fast short-pitched ball and/or accidental high full-pitched ball "that results in the bowler being disallowed from bowling any further in that innings". The penalty did not prevent Glamorgan including De Lange in their 13-man squad against Nottinghamshire. Like Bragg, Van der Gugten missed Glamorgan's winless start to the County Championship. Glamorgan lost at Northamptonshire and at home against Worcestershire before drawing at Leicestershire. Since then the Welsh county have won four of their One Day Cup games, including the last two, against Kent and Hampshire but failed to qualify for the knockout stages. Bragg scored 233 runs at an average of of 38, which included a List A career best 94 against Kent at St Helen's, Swansea on Sunday, 14 May. Bragg said: "It hasn't been the start in four-day cricket we would have liked, but cricket is a massive momentum game and we can grab some of that from the close wins that we gained over the last couple of weeks. "Nottinghamshire are probably one of the stronger opposition we will face in the competition. "We just need to go back to basics and make sure we do everything well as a team and not concentrate on what they do." Division Two leaders Notts are set to give a debut to Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara. England fast bowler Stuart Broad is available, but Alex Hales, Jake Ball and James Pattinson are on international duty. Pujara has played 48 Tests and set a new Indian record for Test runs in 2016-17, also becoming the leading run-scorer in Indian first-class cricket. The visitors have won their three opening Championship games and qualified for the One-Day cup quarter-final. Glamorgan (from): Jacques Rudolph (capt), Nick Selman, Will Bragg, Colin Ingram, Aneurin Donald, Kiran Carlson, Chris Cooke (wk), David Lloyd, Andrew Salter, Marchant de Lange, Timm van der Gugten, Lukas Carey, Michael Hogan. Nottinghamshire (from): Brendan Taylor, Jake Libby, Cheteshwar Pujara, Steven Mullaney, Chris Read, Stuart Broad, Riki Wessels, Harry Gurney, Luke Wood, Luke Fletcher, Matthew Carter, Samit Patel, Brett Hutton, Michael Lumb. The 26-year-old former York and Macclesfield man made 32 appearances for the Welsh side last term. Moke won promotion out of non-league's top flight with York in 2012, but revealed that he later struggled with depression after Halifax decided not to offer him a new deal in 2013. "He's a great talent and I like the way he plays," said Wood boss Luke Garrard. "He's spent most of his life up north but with his mother now living in north London that has helped us enormously to secure his signature and I look forward to working with him."

It said earnings were $8.7bn (£6.24bn) down from $12.8bn in 2014, after writing down assets by $5.8bn. Most companies in the mining sector have had to write down the value of assets to reflect the fall in commodity prices. Glencore said it was aiming for $4bn-$5bn of asset disposals in 2016, plus a further $400m in savings. Glencore is in the throes of trying to reduce $30bn of debt, which it accumulated through its ambitious takeover of Xstrata in 2013. That deal added dozens of mines in numerous countries to the commodity trader's business leaving it as one of the world's biggest miners and traders of the products of those mines. In September last year, Glencore's shares dived after a note from analysts at Investec said its equity value could be "eliminated", although Glencore responded that it was "operationally and financially robust". Glencore has so far cut metal production, suspended dividend payments to shareholders, sold assets and is issuing new shares to raise money. Underlying earnings at its mining operations fell 38% to $6bn. Its trading arm, which trades and ships commodities all over the world, saw earnings drop 11% to $2.7bn, in line with expectations. Glencore chief executive Ivan Glasenberg said: "Our rigorous focus on debt reduction, supply discipline and cost efficiencies enabled Glencore to record a robust performance in difficult market conditions." The company's shares are listed in London and Hong Kong, although its headquarters are in Switzerland. In London, its shares were up 1.73% to 135.55p in early morning trading. When Glencore listed on the London market in 2011 it priced its shares at 530p. However, since then its share price has slid - along with the rest of the mining sector.

Mining giant Glencore has reported a 32% drop in full-year profits after being hit by weak commodity prices.

It is understood Anthony Hunter suffered a puncture wound in the incident that took place on Butterton Road in the town on Thursday afternoon. A second person, named as Carl Grocott, also sustained a leg injury. A 32-year-old man from Denbigh has appeared before Llandudno magistrates charged with wounding offences. He was remanded in custody to appear at Mold Crown Court in August. Five other people were arrested following the incident, but later released by North Wales Police. Officers said on Friday they were continuing to appeal for any witnesses in the Butterton Road area between 12:55 and 13:30 BST on Thursday to contact them. The two MLAs left the Ulster Unionist Party over a decision to field a joint by-election candidate with the DUP. The new party is to be officially launched on Thursday when the new name is to be unveiled. But the BBC has discovered that Lagan Valley MLA Basil McCrea has already registered the name as a website. Documents seen by the BBC show that Lagan Valley MLA Mr McCrea registered the name ni21.org. When you go to that internet address, it states that a new party website is launching soon. BBC NI Political Reporter Stephen Walker said: "The name is presumably a reference to new politics in Northern Ireland in the 21st century. "Other research by the BBC shows that one of Mr McCrea's supporters tried to get in contact with the Taiwanese owner of a Twitter account with the same name." Mr McCrea would neither confirm nor deny the name and said such talk was speculation. The name and logo of the new party will be unveiled on Thursday. Rats injected with stem cells 30 minutes after a stroke had almost normal brain function restored within a fortnight. The Bolivian research team say the method has potential in human trials. Current best practice is to treat many patients with "clot-busting" drugs in the "golden hour" after a stroke has taken place. The research, published in the journal Stem Cell Research and Therapy, adds to others which have found that stem cells could aid stroke patients by boosting the body's ability to repair tissue damage. Stem cells are the body's "master cells", with the potential to become many different cell types, and theoretically replace cells lost through disease or injury. Recent tests in humans have show some promise, with stroke symptoms improving after an infusion of stem cells. The Bolivian team, from La Paz University Hospital, extracted a certain type of stem cells from fat and bone marrow, then injected them into the blood vessels of rats shortly after they had suffered an artificially-induced stroke. Even though the introduced cells did not appear to travel to the affected region of the brain, the rats still did better than other rats who did not receive the cells. Within 24 hours, they were already showing a speedier recovery, and two weeks later, they registered almost normal scores on behavioural tests. The researchers said the early introduction of the cells might even interrupt the typical "chain reaction" of tissue damage which follows a stroke, in which the initial injury harms additional cells in surrounding areas. Dr Exuperio Diez-Tejedor, who led the research, said: "Improved recovery was seen regardless of origin of the stem cells, which may increase the usefulness of this treatment in human trials. "Adipose (fat) -derived cells in particular are abundant and easy to collect without invasive surgery." The ease of collection, and the ability to use "allogenic" cells from other rats rather than having to harvest the animal's own cells and culture them, meant a treatment was available not weeks after a stroke, when the damage was done, but in this case minutes. They wrote: "From the viewpoint of clinical translation allogenic stem cells are attractive because they can be easily obtained from young healthy donors, amplified, and stored for immediate use when needed after a stroke." They suggested that it might be possible to overcome the risk of immune rejection of the donor cells in humans. However, a spokesman for the Stroke Association said that human trials of this particular technique would not be possible in the near future. Dr Clare Walton said: "Stem cells are an incredibly interesting area of stroke research and the results of this study provide further insight into their potential use for stroke recovery. "However, we are a long way off these types of treatments being used in humans and a lot more research is needed." Glenn Murphy will resign as its chairman and chief executive in February after being in the role for over seven years. He will be replaced by its current digital leader Art Peck, who has been with the retailer since 2005. News of the management shakeup came as the firm reported weak same-store sales in September. The company said weak sales in its Gap brand were expected to hurt margins in the third quarter. The San Francisco based firm also owns clothing retail chains Old Navy and Banana Republic. Gap's market value has almost tripled since Mr Murphy, 52, became its leader in July 2007, while its earnings have more than doubled in that period. But, the retailer's revenue growth has struggled in a competitive US market, which resulted in announcements about expanding in emerging markets like India and China this year. In August, the company said it would open 40 stores in India and add another 30 in China to take its total in that country to 110. Mr Murphy made the decision to retire, because he could not commit to lead the company for the next several years, he told analysts during a conference call. Art Peck, 58, was the head of Gap's North America operations in 2011 and 2012. The region accounts for more than three-quarters of the retailer's revenue. Devon and Cornwall Police officers Tasered the man, who had self-inflicted knife injuries, in Langton Road in Falmouth, Cornwall at about 21:00 BST on Tuesday. The man died later at the Royal Cornwall Hospital and his next of kin have been informed. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating. More on Taser death and other Cornwall and Devon stories Police said they were called to a property where "officers were confronted with a man who was in possession of a knife". The force added: "Due to the unfolding dynamic incident, police deployed a Taser." The IPCC said it has been told "the man sustained self-inflicted knife injuries and was taken to hospital where he subsequently died". Stoke-on-Trent City Council was due to move into its new Smithfield headquarters in May but the then Labour leader said there were problems with the concrete slab floor. New leader Dave Conway said there was a difference of opinion between developers and the council about the severity of the problem. Developers say the problem is cosmetic. Mr Conway, a City Independent who was elected council leader in May, said he thinks the problem is more serious than cosmetic. "We're taking advice from the world-leading experts in concrete to help us get to the bottom of this, but we also need a bit of space and time as we go through the options," he said. Developers Laing O'Rourke said: "We can confirm that some cosmetic detraction has occurred to the finish of some of the concrete panels on the Smithfield project in Stoke-on-Trent. "This happened after their installation, and we are working closely with our client to rectify the situation. Independent specialists investigating this occurrence have indicated that this is an aesthetics issue only and does not affect the integrity of the structure." The council announced the move from its civic centre in Stoke-upon-Trent to the new building in Hanley in 2012. It said it was moving to promote Hanley as Stoke's "city centre". Striker Deeney, 28, had been linked to Premier League champions Leicester. Nigerian 20-year-old Success, who scored six goals in La Liga last season, has cost a reported £12.5m and signed a five-year contract. Watford have also signed Genk defender Christian Kabasele for a fee believed to be about £6m. He has also agreed a five-year contract. The 25-year-old is part of Belgium's squad at Euro 2016, but has yet to make his international debut. Last season, Kabasele was the only outfield player in the Belgian Pro League to play every minute in both the regular season and play-offs. In total, the 6ft 1in centre-back played 81 times for Genk after joining on a free from KAS Eupen in 2014. Deeney, who scored 13 league goals last season, joined the Hornets from Walsall in a £500,000 deal in 2010. "This club really means business and I want to be part of this," he said. Meanwhile, Hornets defender Gabriele Angella has joined Udinese after being on at Championship side QPR last season. The 27-year-old joined Watford in 2013 and made 82 appearances, scoring 10 goals, helping them to win promotion to the top flight in 2015.

PSNI Chief Inspector Roy Robinson described it as a "brutal attack". The owner of the sheep believes that three people would have been needed to carry out such an attack on sheep in an open field. Gerald Travers said he could not believe it when he discovered the slain animals, just days after an almost identical incident: "I knew it had happened up the road a bit, I didn't really expect it to happen again. "Some sick mind has just kept going," he said. He said local farmers are worried about their own livestock, "Neighbours are messaging me to try and sort out a way to try and catch them, and to get a 'farmers' watch' going", he said. He believes "at least three people" had to be involved. "The sheep must have been cornered, it definitely wasn't one man on his own. "A couple of neighbours saw the sheep, all up at the top of the field looking down over the hill and had found it suspicious. "That was 8 or 9 o'clock on Thursday night, it had already happened, we think, because the sheep were looking down at the three dead ewes and obviously were petrified. "The sheep still haven't gone down to the bottom of the field where it happened," he added. Local SDLP councillor Declan McAteer said there is growing concern for the safety of livestock in the Ballyholland area after the two attacks. He has called for local people to be vigilant. Police are appealing for witnesses and have conducted house to house inquires. The 30-year-old, who has played 42 times for the All Blacks, will join on a three-year deal from Super Rugby side Hurricanes at the end of the season. As well as Franks was also part of the New Zealand side that was unbeaten throughout 2013. "Ben is a world-class player and we are delighted he has decided to sign with London Irish," said the club's operations director Bob Casey. "It is a real statement of intent that a player of his class and experience has signed and shows the ambition of the club and our owners." Franks is the first signing announced by the club since and Franks has played over 100 Super Rugby games, spending six years at the Crusaders before moving to Wellington in 2012, where he has missed just three games in two seasons. "I am really looking forward to joining London Irish," Franks said. "After speaking to the board and seeing the facilities, the ambition of the club is clear. "It is a family-friendly club, which played a big part in my decision to move my family over. London Irish also has a link with St Mary's University, where I will be able to study alongside playing rugby for the club." The Height of the Reeds is an installation created by Opera North for Hull's City of Culture celebrations. Hull-born actors Maureen Lipman and Barrie Rutter read a commentary over the top along with narration by seven-year-old Hull schoolgirl Katie Smith. Norwegians Arve Henriksen, Jan Bang and Eivind Aarset composed the music. Sounds from the bridge were recorded by Hull-based sound artist Jez Riley French. They include the sound of the railings being "played" and vibrations captured from within the structure. He used microphones so sensitive they could pick up sounds the human ear usually cannot hear. He climbed into the vaults of the suspension bridge to record the noise of the traffic overhead. Jan Bang said the challenge was "how could we blend the sound of different instruments into that?". He said he then built melodies on top, with chords and sounds. "The music just felt like it was a natural blood running through your veins," he said. Opera North's project manager Jo Nockels said listening to the music as you walk across the bridge was a magical experience. "What's particularly amazing about it is that it makes you look at everything completely differently when you're listening as well," she said. "You look at everything much more carefully - it's really great." As people walk across the bridge wearing the special headsets, they will pass certain trigger points which will play music and narration. The narration comes from schoolgirl Katie Smith, who was chosen from many who auditioned at Bude Park Primary School in Bransholme, Hull. The Height of the Reeds opens on 1 April and runs until the end of the month. Tickets have already sold out.

Family Dollar said the offer could face competition issues and "did nothing to address" the matter. The company said that it would continue to pursue a merger with a third discount chain, Dollar Tree. Family Dollar and Dollar Tree had already agreed a merger before Dollar General launched a rival bid this week. US dollar stores expanded fast during the economic downturn. But many have faced competition from stores such as Wal-Mart, and Family Dollar has been closing stores and struggling financially. Howard Levine, chief executive at Family Dollar, said the board had "unanimously concluded that [a deal with Dollar General] is not reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed". But Dollar General suggested Mr Levine's support of Dollar Tree was motivated by self-interest as he would have lost his job if Dollar General had won the bid. Under Dollar Tree's proposal, Mr Levine would remain Family Dollar's boss. The move under Dollar General would have been good for shareholders but "perhaps not for Mr Levine personally," said the spurned company. Rick Dreiling, chief executive of Dollar General, made the comments in a letter to Family Dollar's board on Wednesday. Many Family Dollar stores are in deprived areas. It has a big presence in Texas and the eastern US. The 22-year-old's former club IFK Norrkoping said he had a heart defect. DC United's general manager Dave Kasper said: "The MLS cardiology consultant and a heart specialist at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital determined he could resume playing. "Kamara will undergo testing at the end of each season." The Sierra Leone international's move to DC United comes at a time when two Cameroonian players Patrick Ekeng and Jeanine Christelle Djomnang died of suspected heart problems. Kasper added: "The player had a potential cardiac issue that could have eliminated him from playing. He was evaluated and found this was not the case. "We went through proper medical testing and approvals from two top cardiology specialists. "Certainly we went through a rigorous process, but once they cleared him to play, it gave us peace of mind." A transfer fee has not been paid for Kamara but Norrköping will be compensated if the player meets performance incentives or if he is sold in the future. He was originally examined as part of a Uefa requirement because IFK Norrkoping are due to take part in the qualifiers for next season's Champions League. 'He is a strong guy' Experts from both Uefa and Fifa had advised Kamara against continuing playing football. This initially forced Norrkoping to remove Kamara from their 2016 season squad to stop him from playing more matches. Kamara, who scored six goals to help Norrköping win the 2015 Swedish league, is delighted that his career can resume. "He is so happy and excited to be able to play again," Kamara's local agent Chernor Musa Jalloh told BBC Sport. "Physically and mentally he is prepared and he knows everything as he is a strong guy. "He went through a difficult path and thanks to everyone who supported him." The fire started close to an oil tank and quickly spread to a bungalow at Kirkistown Walk in the Belvoir estate after 05:00 GMT on Tuesday. The house was destroyed and six other properties were damaged by the blaze. A pigeon coop in a garden of one of the houses was destroyed, killing all but a few of the birds homed inside. Police and the fire service are investigating what caused the "severe" fire. Alwyn Crawford, 48, who owned the pigeons, said his son Reece had saved his life after discovering the fire. He said: "We don't know who done it or what happened, the place was ablaze when we came out. "We were so worried about the pigeons but it happened so quick and we couldn't get near them. "I'm a member of a pigeon club and I race them. "I have a bad back and a bad heart, and they're just so relaxing for you to watch." One elderly resident, Michael Hammond, had just replaced his garden after it was ruined in a wheelie bin fire last October. It was destroyed again in Tuesday's blaze, along with his mobility scooter. "There's nothing left, I've lost everything," he said. "But I think we're the lucky ones because those [other] bungalows are unliveable." In legal papers filed in March, Jeffrey Wenninger accused the singer of making sexually suggestive comments towards him and groping him. A representative for Sir Elton confirmed: "The case was withdrawn, with no payment made." Mr Wenninger, a Los Angeles policeman, worked for the singer from 2002 to 2014. He had accused Sir Elton of three separate incidents - all of which he claimed occurred in the final year he worked for the singer. Sir Elton's legal team previously described his claims as "baseless". Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Jones has not played since the Six Nations defeat by England because of a heel injury, and will miss Ospreys' Pro12 match with Ulster on Saturday. Wales travel to the world champion All Blacks for a three-Test series in June. Asked if lock Jones would make the tour, Ospreys backs coach Gruff Rees said: "The work he's doing now would suggest it's a large possibility." Rees added: "If you asked Alun himself he would say 'certainly', but he's probably got a few thing he has to tick off yet." Wales, whose last victory against New Zealand came in 1953, have never won an away Test against the three-time World Cup winners. Jones, the British and Irish second row and Ospreys captain, is on a dual contract as the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) covers 60% of his salary. The 30-year-old has been working with medical staff from the WRU and Ospreys as part of his rehabilitation, with Rees saying the player is making progress as Wales head coach Gatland hopes for a memorable win in his home-land of New Zealand. "He's doing physical based work. There's a skill element to what he's doing in partnership with the governing body as well," added Rees. "He's in good spirits. He was in the coaches' box at the weekend [against Cardiff Blues] and I enjoyed having him in that area and he's contributing off the field with some of our planning." If he makes the tour party, Jones is set to make his 100th appearance for his country. Has has won 98 Wales caps, in addition to five Test match appearances for the British and Irish Lions. His absence this weekend is a blow to the Ospreys, who need to beat Ulster at the Liberty Stadium to maintain their chances of playing in the European Champions' Cup next season. Ospreys are the only Welsh team to have played in the top-flight European competition every season since the introduction of regional rugby in 2004. Archery GB coach Harry Heeley is to take charge of the recurve team while Midlands-based coach Phillippa Lowe is to look after the compound squad. "It's fantastic for us to get that level of experience," veteran island archer Heath Perrett told BBC Jersey. "They're people who've competed at national and international level who are coming and give us their support." Find out about how to get into archery with our special guide. British international and two-time gold-medallist Lucy O'Sullivan has pulled out of Jersey's team and around half of the squad will be going to their first Island Games in Gotland this summer. "We're probably not as strong we have been in previous years," added Perrett. "But we'll go there, give it a good shot and if nothing else it's a good learning opportunity for people for future games." Jersey Archery team for Gotland 2017: Recurve: Mark Renouf, Maria Mitchell, Tadhg MacFirbhisigh, Paul Bredonchel, Jill Ruby, Ian Hamon, Sandra Robinson, Tamara Mitchell. Compound: Heath Perrett, Angela Perrett, Cliff Graves, Theresa Graves, Karen MacFirbhisigh, Mel Mahe, Francis Rocha, Matt Dale. HDZ won 61 of 151 seats while the Social Democrat-led four-party alliance had 54 seats. Snap elections were called after the HDZ government collapsed in June over a conflict of interest scandal. Croatia joined the EU in 2013 but political stalemate has prevented much-needed reforms from being carried out. In its eight months in power, the HDZ-led coalition had been characterised by a shift to the right and growing antipathy towards the independent media and minorities, especially ethnic Serbs. The BBC 's Guy Delauney in Zagreb described how nationalism and neighbour-bashing had become a feature of Croatian politics in recent months. However, the party's new and more moderate leader, Andrej Plenkovic, has promised a "Europe-oriented" government and the HDZ ran on its own in Sunday's poll, without any of the more extreme nationalist parties. It is thought Mr Plenkovic will look initially to form a coalition with the centre-right Most (Bridge) party, which won 13 seats. The centre-left SDP conceded victory and drew attention to the low 53% turnout. Its leader Zoran Milanovic criticised the previous "unstable and destructive" HDZ-led coalition and said what Croatia needed was a stable government. Some 3.8 million people were eligible to vote in the country's second election in less than a year. Croatia remains one of the EU's mostly poorly performing economies despite recent positive developments linked to its EU membership. Almost a year of political deadlock impeded urgently needed economic reforms, with the economy relying heavily on tourism along the Adriatic coast. Scientists from the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science tested seven detergent wipes used in hospitals across the UK on three common infections. They showed "huge variability" in their ability to kill the disease-causing bacteria. In every case, the wipes spread the superbugs from one surface to another. The study, published in the American Journal of Infection Control, carried out a 10-second wiping procedure to test the wipes' effectiveness on MRSA, Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) and Acinetobacter, which can all cause life-threatening illnesses. They were very inconsistent in their ability to remove spores of the bacteria from hospital surfaces, and they all spread significant amounts of bacteria over three consecutive surfaces. In 2012, there were 1,646 deaths involving C. difficile infection in England and Wales and 292 deaths related to MRSA. Study author Prof Jean-Yves Maillard said: "Wet wipes are generally good products, but the efficacy of these products can be improved. Hospital staff must be educated to ensure these products are used properly and will not cause an unnecessary risk to staff and patients - a single wipe should not be used on multiple surfaces." PC Dave Phillips, 34, died after a pick-up truck mounted a central reservation in Wallasey, Merseyside, in October last year. Appearing at Liverpool Crown Court, Clayton Williams, of Wheatland Lane, Wallasey, denied PC Phillips's murder and attempting to wound his colleague. Mr Williams is due to stand trial at Manchester Crown Court on 7 March. Married father-of-two PC Phillips had been responding to reports of a burglary in Woodchurch Road, Birkenhead, when he died in the early hours of 5 October. He and a colleague had been attempting to stop a vehicle using a tyre-puncturing "stinger" device, police said. Fellow officers tried to save his life before he was rushed to hospital, but he died shortly after arrival. PC Phillips' widow Jen attended the hearing. Gordon Martin, the union's regional organiser, said he would have preferred to have met sooner. RMT members at CalMac held three days of industrial action last week. On Friday, The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) will send out strike ballot papers to about 100 of its members who work for CalMac. The closing date for the ballot is in 10 days time. Talks between CalMac and the two unions were to be held earlier this week but the ferry operator asked that they be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Two thirds of state-owned CalMac's ferry services were cancelled last Friday during a 24-hour strike by RMT members, who make up about half of the company's workforce. The dispute has been triggered by unions' concerns about the new contract to run the Clyde and Hebrides ferry services. CalMac's current deal to operate the network comes to an end next year. The Scottish government has put the contract out to tender, in line with European rules. The unions concerns are that, regardless of who wins, the new contract will see changes in employees' current terms and conditions. A reduction in staff numbers and pensions are key areas of concern. The unions have asked that the government guarantee in the new contract that compulsory redundancies do not happen and existing terms and conditions are continued. A leaked email says the airline was "instructed by the Chinese government" to "follow the One China policy". Crew were told to wear China's flag instead, but this directive was later withdrawn. Flag pins show passengers the nationality and languages of crew. The airline told the BBC there had been a "communication error". A spokesperson said that now no crew needed to wear any flag pin, whatever their nationality. But the airline did not explain why, if this was an airline-wide change in uniform policy, such a specific demand had been made to Taiwanese crew. The BBC also asked whether Chinese authorities had indeed complained about staff wearing the Taiwan flag - but the airline is yet to respond. China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province and insists that the self-ruled island is an inalienable part of one China to be reunified one day. The email, quoted by the South China Morning post and other media in Asia, said cabin crew were "to follow the One China policy" - a hugely sensitive diplomatic tightrope. "This means you must remove the Taiwanese flag from your service waistcoat and replace it with the Chinese flag," wrote Nicola Parker, the airline's uniform standards and development manager. She added fresh stocks of China badges were being ordered. However, hours later, Ms Parker wrote a second email saying that the previous message was "incorrect and inappropriate", apologising for "any upset I may have caused". She added: "Please refrain from wearing your Taiwanese flags on flights until further notice. Therefore no flag is required on your uniform." But in a statement to the BBC, the airline apologised for what it said was a communication error. "An internal email was sent to cabin crew instructing them to remove a flag pin from their uniform and replace it with another flag pin. This email was sent in error and has since been retracted. "Our intent is to recall the flag pins worn by all our cabin crew as part of our uniform update. This is based on ongoing feedback and review from our teams. All cabin crew are no longer required to wear a flag pin as part of their uniform. " On social media, users have responded by repeatedly posting pictures of the Taiwanese flag on the airline's Facebook account, with some also vowing to boycott the airline. China is a major growth area for several airlines, with industry body Iata predicting the country will replace the US as the world's largest aviation market in terms of number of flights by 2029. Emirates already flies dozens of flights a week between Dubai and the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Yinchuan and Zhengzhou. And the airline says it carried more than 1.3 million passengers and 106,000 tons of cargo on its China services in 2015. In the dead of night, residents of the middle-class area, home to retired army officers and businessmen, woke to a helicopter gunfight, which filled them with dread. Residents told me they knew immediately that if any home in their midst was going to be the target of an attack, it would be the private, secure compound protected by barbed wire and whose furtive residents were rarely seen or heard. One of Bin Laden's neighbours, who lived just 100 metres away from him, described how he took to his roof to witness the dramatic raid. "The helicopter swept past my house, flying very low, coming very close. I threw myself to the ground thinking it was going to collide with my house," Zahoor Abbasi said. There was a massive explosion: a huge flame leapt into the sky from the house, and then shortly afterwards it all appeared to be over. Mr Abbasi said he had no idea the place was the residence of Osama Bin Laden. There were no rumours and no obvious clue that he was living in their midst. But Mr Abbasi said that ever since he moved into the area six years ago, he felt that house was a dangerous place and best avoided. The security measures put in place at the compound were extraordinary: 14ft (4.5m) high walls surrounding the complex; a 7ft private security wall on the second floor; security gates and cameras. Every now and then, bullet-proof vehicles would enter and leave the compound with little fanfare. Gates would open and then shut immediately afterwards - there was no neighbourliness. Hashmi Colony, at the slightly more inexpensive end of the Bilal Town area, is a residential, suburban community where most homes have a car and a family. It is still in the process of being built - many people have bought plots of land here as they seek to build up a life and a home. Abbottabad has a reputation as a peaceful, quiet town with excellent literacy rates, good schools and a temperate climate. It is an agricultural area and many houses are only about five or six years old - nobody was able to put an exact date on this compound but many thought it was about 10 or 12 years old. When it was first built, it was likely to have been quite isolated in its agricultural setting. But as more people moved in, its privacy was slowly being eroded. And the neighbours were watching. People living nearby say they rarely saw more than two or three people around the house. There was no sign of domestic activity or children playing, no trips to the market, the kind of activity that characterises domestic existence in communities such as these. There were other signs of intrigue too. Over the past two months, people in simple, plain clothes came around posing as prospective property buyers who wanted to get to know the area a bit better. They would admire neighbours' homes and request for their architectural plans, saying they wanted to build houses similar to those seen in the vicinity. One of the men even went to the Bin Laden compound to make inquiries. A neighbour told me that he now thinks these were men trying to uncover information. But there is also another angle to the reserve and suspicion with which the compound was viewed. When they heard gunshots and explosions ring out through the night sky, many neighbours initially thought the Taliban had launched an attack in the area. The area is only about a kilometre from Pakistan's elite military training academy, and the Taliban frequently target such academies. Also, many ethnic Pashtun families have moved into the area and built their houses there. Some neighbours said that Pashtuns are known to keep their women in strict purdah and that would explain the silence from that house. The Taliban are largely ethnically Pashtun and many come from the tribal areas in north-west Pakistan. The idea that the Taliban were connected to that house had crossed the mind of one resident I spoke to. That is partly because it was assumed that the Taliban had come to be with their Pashtun kith and kin, who are seen as providers of sanctuary for the Taliban. It highlights the latent concerns and assumptions in the Pakistani mindset about ethnicity and loyalty. But the residents of this compound appear to have led such an isolated existence that it could not have had anything to do with the Pashtuns who have also made this quiet and prosperous suburb their home. Media playback is not supported on this device Once again, Joey Carbery excelled for Leinster with his try early in the second half clinching the bonus point. That followed first-half tries from Peter Dooley, Ross Molony and Jack Conan as the home side dominated. Pat Howard and Sarel Pretorius notched second-half Dragons tries as a series of changes took the edge off Leinster. The Dragons were the last team to inflict a home defeat on Leinster in the Pro12 in February 2015 but the home side's fast start meant there was never going to be another surprise in Saturday's game. Young fly-half Carbery's by now trademark lightning break helped set up Dooley's opening try in the 12th minute with the prop breaking through some weak Dragons tackling to score. Within three minutes, Leinster were 14-0 up after Luke McGrath's initial dart was successfully recycled by Rhys Ruddock before Noel Reid's pass set up lock Molony for a close-range finish. Following Angus O'Brien's penalty reply for the Dragons, Leinster resumed their domination and after young wing Adam Byrne had been denied, Conan ran in the home team's third try on 31 minutes as he took a flat pass from McGrath on the burst. A forward pass by Byrne saw centre Rory O'Loughlin having a touchdown ruled out before the break but the inevitable bonus point did come within five minutes of the restart as O'Loughlin's run and perfectly delivered pass set by Carbery to score under the posts. Carbery was immediately taken off with Leinster coach Leo Cullen clearly looking towards next Friday's European Champions Cup game against Northampton, given the ongoing fitness concerns over Johnny Sexton. With Leinster making several other changes, their performance began somewhat ragged and Howard's 54th-minute score was followed by a 70th-minute try from replacement Pretorius as the Dragons produced a series of attacks. The result means the Dragons have lost all their five Pro12 matches on the road this season. Leinster: Zane Kirchner, Adam Byrne, Rory O'Loughlin, Noel Reid, Isa Nacewa (capt), Joey Carbery, Luke McGrath, Peter Dooley, James Tracy, Michael Bent, Ross Molony, Hayden Triggs, Rhys Ruddock, Dan Leavy, Jack Conan.

The anti-homosexuality bill also makes it a crime punishable by a prison sentence not to report gay people. The prime minister opposed the vote, saying not enough MPs were present. The bill has been condemned by world leaders since it was mooted in 2009 - US President Barack Obama called it "odious". The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in Kampala says the government knows there will be an international outcry, which could see some countries suspend aid to the country. She says that Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi might follow up on his complaints about a lack of quorum, while it remains to be seen whether President Yoweri Museveni will sign the bill into law. The private member's bill originally proposed the death penalty for some offences, such as if a minor was involved or the perpetrator was HIV-positive, but this has been replaced with life in prison. The MP behind the bill, David Bahati, told the AFP news agency: "This is victory for Uganda. I am glad the parliament has voted against evil." By Catherine ByaruhangaBBC News, Uganda The introduction of this bill led Uganda to be called the worst place to be gay. As parliament debated it, gay activists met in a suburb of the capital Kampala to work out their own plan. They say their lives are often in threat here because of intolerance. First tabled in parliament back in 2009, the proposed law caused such an international backlash that it has languished in parliamentary bureaucracy up until now. It originally proposed a death sentence for certain homosexual acts but this was scrapped and punishment limited to life imprisonment. Speaker Rebecca Kadaga has been instrumental in giving the bill a new lease of life. Last year she promised it as a "Christmas gift" to the country. The challenge is enforcement. Authorities need to be able to gather evidence that shows someone has engaged in homosexuality. This is hard to prove and one of the reasons Uganda's current anti-gay legislation has been rarely enforced. But once enacted the bill might give law enforcers extra motivation to tackle "homosexual crimes". This could lead to more arrests and intrusive medical exams. "Because we are a God-fearing nation, we value life in a holistic way. It is because of those values that members of parliament passed this bill regardless of what the outside world thinks," he said. The bill also bans the promotion of homosexuality. "I am officially illegal," Ugandan gay activist Frank Mugisha said after the vote. The bill's supporters say it is needed to protect traditional family values, which they say are under attack from Western-inspired gay rights groups. Its critics say the bill has been pushed by some US evangelical Christians. Uganda is a socially conservative country and on Thursday passed an Anti-Pornography Bill, which bans miniskirts and sexually suggestive material such as some music videos. Human rights activists say the bill highlights the intolerance and discrimination the gay community faces in Uganda. One gay activist was killed in 2011, although the police denied he was targeted because of his sexuality. Meanwhile a local newspaper has been condemned for publishing the names and addresses of people it said were gay. Holidaymakers and visiting foreigners are not immune from prosecution under Uganda's existing anti-homosexuality laws. A retired British man is awaiting trial in Entebbe on charges of possessing a gay sex video after thieves found images on his laptop. Sixty-five-year-old Bernard Randall, from Kent, faces a possible two-year prison sentence if found guilty. His friend Albert Cheptoyek, a Ugandan national with whom he shares a house, has denied a more serious charge of carrying out "acts of gross indecency", which could see him jailed for up to seven years if found guilty. According to 2016 Welsh Election Study analysis by Cardiff University, the Daily Mail is read more regularly by four times more people in Wales than the Western Mail. The figures from more than 3,200 people surveyed in March reflect a "democratic deficit" across Wales, experts said. They added the lack of information means many voters are uninformed about key assembly election issues. The survey also found 11% regularly rely on the internet for news - whether online sites or blogs and Twitter, with 27% using Facebook. BBC Wales Today is the most widely consumed Welsh media outlet, with 37% of people frequently watching. ITV's Wales At Six and BBC Radio Wales are the second and third most popular, with 17% and 13% of people in Wales regularly tuning in respectively. "There is a democratic deficit in Wales: people are not regularly exposed to news about Welsh Assembly matters, despite the fact that it is responsible for key policy areas such as health and education," said Dr Stephen Cushion, of Cardiff School of Journalism. He said there was scant coverage of assembly matters in UK-wide media. "People will be going to the elections on 5 May potentially voting for things that aren't under the control of the government in Wales," he added. "There has been a devolution of power - but not a devolution of information. A lot of people think that health and education are the responsibility of the UK government." Dr Cushion said there were "no easy answers," but added devolution should be covered in a more "constructive way". "More comparative coverage would help raise help knowledge about the difference between the nations." A spokesman for ITV Cymru Wales disputed the figures claiming: "Share of viewing for ITV Wales' evening news programme has grown for the last four years in a row, from 16.9% in 2011 to 21.7% in 2015." Media playback is not supported on this device England lost by 15 runs in a match they had to win to stay in the tournament. Moores, who is in his second spell in charge of England, wants to stay on as coach but told BBC Sport: "It's not my decision." However, Downton said: "I've got full faith in Peter Moores. He will stay." He added: "Peter was brought in 10 months ago and part of that reason is because he's such an experienced coach. Whoever got that job at that time was going to have a difficult time. We're in a rebuilding phase so today's the wrong time to be making any kind judgement at all." Downton, though, admitted the ECB had much to consider: "We'll sit and review everything when we get back. Media playback is not supported on this device "Everything will be reviewed, now's not the time to be doing it, we've got one more game to play, let the dust settle, everyone's very emotional." Ex-England captain Alec Stewart told BBC Radio 5 live: "It hasn't been 12 hours since England's exit. I'd much rather people take stock, and look at how we can improve the situation. "We need to find a method of how we want to play and stick with that. To do anything now within 12 hours is not the way forward. It would be stupid. "I'm not saying Peter Moores is the right man or the wrong man, but now is not the time to say 'on your bike', it's time to get plans in place to move forward." Australia legend Shane Warne said England's demise was not a surprise and thinks former Lancashire coach Moores is now "in trouble". Warne tweeted England had picked "the wrong team" and "the wrong style of play" to succeed at the tournament, which is being held in Australia and New Zealand. England captain Eoin Morgan, appointed less than two weeks before the tournament following the sacking of Alastair Cook, said: "To be knocked out of a World Cup this early is unbelievably disappointing. "I'm gutted at the moment. There'll be an inquest over the next few weeks as to what happened and what went wrong. Then we'll go from there." Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott told BBC Sport that everyone involved with the England team needed to "look at themselves". He added: "Some of the players as individuals have let themselves down, but as a team they have been pretty poor in their thinking and planning. "We seem to be light years behind other teams in the way we think about one-day cricket. The game has moved on very quickly and it is very different from even 10 years ago." He was also critical of Moores' focus on data analysis and statistics, and his lack of international playing experience: "I watch the game because I've played, I don't need a computer. "He doesn't have that experience. I don't say it's impossible to coach if you're not a former player. You don't have to be a former player but it sure as hell does help." Moores said he felt "hollow inside" and "hugely disappointed" following England's demise. "It's not my decision if I'm given time," he added. "I understand why people would think I'm not the right man, but it's a bigger picture than that." He said England's one-day form has not been good "for a while" and insisted there was a lack of top talent. "The reality is we're not overloaded with a lot of high-class one-day players," he said. "It's something we have to look at. It's not to be done now. Today is about the emotion of the day for me. We're out of the tournament." Former England captain Andrew Strauss echoed that view, saying: "The truth is we are not good enough. "From 1 to 11, we haven't got the players who can compete with the top teams. We couldn't compete with Bangladesh and we certainly can't compete with Australia and South Africa. "We have been poor for 20 years and we will be poor for another 20 years unless we change the way we play our domestic one-day cricket." Former England all-rounder Ian Botham described England's performance as "pathetic", adding: "When are we going to pick the selectors to pick a team for the one-day format? Time for change." Ex-England captain Allan Lamb told BBC Radio 5 live: "I really think we need to restructure this team and our game. I just think we don't take one day cricket seriously in this country." Former England bowler Steve Harmison told BBC Radio 5 live: "I don't think we've been in a position like we are now for a number of years. We just haven't been good enough, it's as simple as that. "We've got good players and Peter Moores is a very good coach." But he admitted: "He's in a result business job, and they've not been great." Moores insisted England had "prepared well", adding: "The players aren't bad players, but we haven't played well enough. We have to take that." Set 276 to win in Adelaide, England were bowled out for 260 despite Jos Buttler's 52-ball 65. Rubel Hossain claimed 4-53 for Bangladesh, who had posted 275-7 thanks to 103 from Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim's 89. The non-league club left the Victoria Ground at 17:00 GMT on Thursday, following its sale to chemical manufacturer Thor Group. Northwich chairman Jim Rushe said the team had left "peacefully, but have not given up any of our rights". "We're going to court to try and win a reprieve and get ourselves back in," he said. He said if a reprieve was not granted, the club would "ground-share somewhere and keep fighting". The club was issued with a notice to vacate on Monday following the ground's sale by receivers Deloitte. Club solicitor Christopher Else said he had asked law firm Addleshaw Goddard, which is handling the sale, to extend the deadline while the club's legal status was considered. He said the club's rights as a tenant had been overlooked during the sale. The law firm declined to comment. The club's landlords, Northwich Victoria Developments Ltd (NVD), had been attempting to buy back the stadium from the receivers, who were acting on behalf of creditor Clydesdale Bank. After a deal failed to be made, the ground was sold instead to the chemical manufacturer. Mr Else said NVD, a separate company to the football club, signed a licence with the receivers in August, which allowed the eviction to take place with only three days' notice. However, he said the club was "in occupation prior to that licence and we're trying to drive home that there was a relationship of landlord and tenant, protected under the 1954 [Landlord and Tenant] Act". He said the club's representatives would discuss the situation with a specialist property barrister and efforts were being made to secure the club's place at the ground until the end of the season. "The objective is to get the club the right to occupy the ground until the end of the season and then take stock of the position," he said. "Then it's a case of sitting down with Thor and seeing what agreement can be reached [about the future], if any. "It's a nine-acre site and it may well be that what Thor need to do can be done on another part of the site and not on top of the football ground." Deloitte has declined to comment on Mr Else's claims. A spokesman for the receivers said on Wednesday it was "with some regret that we have come to this stage and it is clearly a time of great concern for the supporters of a club with a long history". "However, after providing NVD with several years to find the required funding to acquire the stadium, this has not been forthcoming and so the principal chargeholder and their agents have been left with no option but to consider alternative offers for the site," he said. The new owners declined to comment on their plans for the site. Northwich, formed in 1874, play in the Northern Premier League. The club sold its original ground, the Drill Field, in 2002 and, following three seasons ground-sharing with local rivals Witton Albion, moved to the Victoria Stadium in 2005. In a statement, James Richardson's family said: "Jim was a loving husband and father and will be hugely missed by all his family." The 29-year-old was found dead at Forteviot, Perthshire, after going missing on his way home from the festival earlier this month. His funeral is being held in his home town of Wishaw, North Lanarkshire. Mr Richardson's family said: "Today, we lay our beloved son, husband, father, brother and uncle to rest. "He will never be forgotten and will always have a special place in our hearts. "We would like to say thanks for all the tremendous support we have received from friends, family and the local community, which has been of enormous comfort to all of us at such a difficult time. "Today, we will pay tribute to the life of James and would ask for our privacy to be respected." The father-of-three attended the music festival at Strathallan, Perthshire, earlier this month. He went missing after getting off a bus on the way home and his body was found on 12 July - two days after the festival ended. The Police Investigation and Review Commissioner is probing how officers responded to the first reports expressing concern about Mr Richardson's welfare. The high street shop in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, has been targeted by opponents since it opened in November. The party now invites its "anarchist friends" to aim their eggs at posters of Mr Farage and Cardiff South and Penarth candidate John Rees-Evans. A UKIP spokesman said no eggs had been thrown since the posters were put up. The 24-year-old replaces Travis Head, who was called up to the Australia squad on Monday, but is not eligible to play in limited-overs cricket. He averages 41.05 from 19 innings for South Australia in first-class cricket. Former Australia international Darren scored over 14,000 runs for Yorkshire in nine seasons with the county. "We're very fortunate that we've been able to find a replacement quickly for Travis Head, who's got a deserved call-up to the Australian squad," Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie told BBC Radio Leeds. "I know the Yorkshire supporters will be buzzing about the fact that it's another Lehmann on the scorecard, but he's his own man. "He's a wonderful young player. He hasn't played a lot of first-class cricket, but he's made a real impact with South Australia and Australia A very early on." Yorkshire, who are chasing a third County Championship title in a row, have six four-day games left this year starting with the Roses match at Old Trafford which gets under way on Saturday. In the video, obtained by local media in San Antonio, Gilbert Flores is seen outside a house with his arms raised before shots are fired and he falls. Police say he was armed and officers first attempted to subdue the 41-year-old with a Taser. A series of fatal police shootings in the last year have sparked protests and increased scrutiny on police tactics. Bexar County District Attorney Nico LaHood said the video was "disturbing" but told people not to "rush to judgement" over what may have happened. Police said the officers were responding to a domestic dispute and a woman at the home had been cut in the head with a knife. She had been holding a baby who may have been harmed. The officers involved, Greg Vasquez and Robert Sanchez, have been placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated by the sheriff's department. "Certainly, what's in the video is a cause for concern," said Sheriff Susan Pamerleau, adding that the investigation must be allowed to run its course. The fatal shooting a year ago of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked protests and a national debate about police use of force. There has also been increased awareness in recent days of the dangers facing police, with four officers killed while on duty in the last eight days. The changes will affect administration staff in its carpet, curtain and blinds fittings service. No jobs will be cut among the estimators and fitters. However, administration roles will move from stores to a centre in Didsbury, Manchester, which will also serve online customers. Catering staff in its in-store restaurants will also be affected. John Lewis already uses outside suppliers in a third of its restaurants and plans to adopt a uniform menu in all, meaning chefs will no longer be required. John Lewis said about 773 staff could be affected by redundancy but would be able to apply for 386 new posts. At the end of the process about 387 roles will go. The changes will affect 32 of its 48 stores. "These proposals will allow us to modernise our business as it adapts to the changing needs of our customers and the role that shops play in their lives," said Dino Rocos, John Lewis operations director. More than 40% of sales at John Lewis over Christmas were online. In January the retailer said it expected its full-year pre-tax profit, which it will announce on 9 March, to be higher than last year's £435m. However, it added that trading was "under pressure" as a result not just of the shift to online, but also because the weaker pound was pushing up costs. The staff-owned John Lewis Partnership, which includes Waitrose, said last month it expected staff bonuses to be "significantly lower" than last year because of the challenging outlook for retail. Last year the 89,000 John Lewis and Waitrose staff received 10% of their salary as a bonus. The figure was 17% in 2013. Pensions auto-enrolment and the impending National Living Wage are seen as factors in the dip in confidence. However, the survey was carried out before the Budget, which was viewed as good for small companies. "Small business confidence has clearly faltered, " said the FSB's vice-chairman, Sandra Dexter. "Which is why the welcome small business focus in the Budget is so important," she added. "We need a renewed push for growth and productivity, with policymakers delivering a sustained package of support for ambitious small firms," she added. The survey found FSB members in all UK regions reported a fall in confidence, but it was most marked in London and the East of England. Overall, Scotland and Northern Ireland were the least confident regions. The organisation, which represents about 200,000 firms, points to "uncertainty about the strength of the UK and global economy" as contributing to cooling confidence. It also highlights the first fall in jobs being created by its members for three years and the weakest performance for their exports since 2012. However, Ms Dexter acknowledged that budget measures, including changes to business rates which will mean many small firms will not have to pay at all, would help. "Delivering on tax simplification measures will be vital," she added, "as will pressing ahead with new investment in much-needed infrastructure. "Taken together, these measures should help to boost confidence and help small firms to grow and succeed." The results of the survey were published ahead of the FSB's national conference, which is being held in Glasgow. PM Tony Abbott said that "a much larger" area of the ocean floor would now be targeted. But he said it was "highly unlikely" any surface wreckage would be found, and suspended aerial searches. Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing on 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The plane, carrying 239 people, disappeared off radar over the South China Sea. Officials say that, based on satellite information, they believe it ended its journey in seas north-west of the Australian city of Perth, far from its planned path. By Jon DonnisonBBC News, Sydney Investigators have given no reason yet as to why the plane flew so far off course. Finding the "black box" flight recorders is seen as key to understanding what happened. Mr Abbott made his announcement at a news conference in Canberra. "It is now 52 days since Malaysia Airlines Fight MH370 disappeared and I'm here to inform you that the search will be entering a new phase," he said. By now, he said, most debris would have become waterlogged and sunk, so operations would now focus on "searching the ocean floor over a much larger area". So far, a robot submersible called the Bluefin-21 has been scouring the seabed in the location of acoustic signals heard on 8 April believed to have originated from the plane's flight recorders. Bluefin-21 has been searching a circular area with a 10-km (6-mile) radius, some 4,500m below the surface. Planes and ships from multiple nations have also been searching the sea for signs of debris, based on where it might have floated from the possible impact point. So far, however, no sign of the missing plane has been detected. Mr Abbott said there was still "a considerable degree of confidence that the detections that were picked up" in early April were from a flight recorder. He said the new phase of the search would involve commercial contractors with additional sonar mapping equipment - an operation towards which Australia would be seeking contributions from other countries to help meet the estimated $60m (£36m) cost. Getting this equipment in place could take several weeks, he said, and in the interim the Bluefin-21 would continue to search. Mr Abbott also promised that while the operation was changing, "it certainly is not ending". "We will do everything we humanly can... to solve this mystery," he said.

Simon Buckley's "Not Quite Light" festival aims to start a debate about regeneration and heritage. The event, being held this weekend, includes exhibitions, walking tours and a fundraising event for the city's homeless. The photographs are "leaving clues" for social historians, Mr Buckley said. He added: "The phrase 'change is inevitable but progress isn't' kept coming back to me. "Heritage is more than just bricks and mortar - it is a state of mind. I wanted to ask the question: what are we as Manchester? If you're knocking something down, what are you going to put in its place?" "Manchester is going through a huge transition. You've got to be careful you don't demolish the soul of a city whilst you're running rampant, hoping to make it better." The Not Quite Light weekend also includes a low-light photography course, a social history talk from Manchester tour guide Emma Fox and a fundraiser for homeless charity Lifeshare with live music and food. Mr Buckley said: "In 20 or 30 years, someone else will have an opinion on the city. I'd like to think I'm creating social history through my photographs, leaving clues for historians to see exactly how I feel the city is developing."

An artist who photographs parts of Manchester at dawn has said his work reflects a "huge transition" within the city centre.

In April, the United Nations held a summit in Geneva to examine the future of so-called lethal autonomous weapons systems, with some groups calling for an international ban on killer robots. But is it possible to create robots that are, or at least seem, ethical? That is the question being posed by one PHD student at Bangor University in Gwynedd - and with surprising results. Christopher Headleand, 30, is researching how electronic "agents" with the most simple programming can be made to behave in a way that may appear to be moral. "The best we can do at the moment is to attempt to simulate ethical behaviour. We are not saying these robots are ethical but in some situations they can behave in a way which appears to an observer as ethical," he said. "If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, for the purposes of a simulation, I'm willing to accept it's a duck." He tests the agents - unconstructed, motor-operated vessels with simple sensors - using virtual simulations. These test environments allow him to see how the automated artificial beings interact when they are programmed to carry out tasks like reaching a power source - effectively food - before they run out of energy and die. The tests have seen agents programmed to be hedonistic and self-centred, while others are utilitarian and some are even altruistic. In the case of the latter, Mr Headleand said: "We saw some agents that were sacrificing themselves to save others. "If you start trying to describe this using language from psychology rather than engineering, that's the point where it becomes quite interesting." Mr Headleand pointed to the way penguins sometimes huddle to share and conserve heat in the wild, adding: "We were getting behaviour that was very similar. "We were observing emergent behaviour such as different social classes of agents. "Agents who were closest to the resources were really calm. "But what was interesting, [those on] the outer circle, on the outer edges of the resources, were panicked and swerving around and constantly trying to dive in." He added: "You start to look at these agents as simulated life, you start to anthropomorphise them." Mr Headleand - whose work is supported by Fujitsu - said the use of robots in human affairs was becoming far more common and he believes "ethical machines" could one day play a part in certain industries, including manufacturing and the care sector. "We are now moving towards the fact that it's life a lot more, in an everyday sense. "But there is a safety implication there. How can humans work with these robots? How can we interact with them? "Perhaps people would be a lot more comfortable working with robots if they displayed behaviour that appeared to be ethical."

From 2001: A Space Odyssey's HAL to the Terminator's T-101, science fiction is full of cautionary tales about the dangers posed to man by robots.

The match was called off for security reasons before Portugal's football association offered a alternate venue. The Belgium team will train at the King Baudouin Stadium, where the match was originally to be staged, on Wednesday. The game will be played next Tuesday (19:45 GMT), as initially scheduled. Captain Vincent Kompany was "horrified and revolted" by the incidents. "I wish for Brussels to act with dignity," he wrote on Twitter. "We are all hurting, yet we must reject hate and its preachers. As hard as it may be." Next week's match is the second Belgium friendly in succession that has not gone ahead as scheduled. In November, their match against Spain in Brussels was called off following the Paris atrocities, which killed 130 people. Meanwhile, the Netherlands will play France in Amsterdam - 108 miles away from Brussels - as planned on Friday. This week's round of international friendlies are warm-up games before Euro 2016 in France. The tournament starts on 10 June and features 24 teams, playing 51 matches at 10 venues across the country. The Stade de France was one of the targets in the November terror attacks on the French capital. Media playback is not supported on this device Uefa said it would continue to "monitor the level of risk for the tournament" but added there were "no plans to play matches behind closed doors". Wales manager Chris Coleman, whose side are making their European Championship debut, said it should go ahead as planned. "It's such a huge event, everybody wants to see it, not just countries involved," he said. "Football is the biggest sport in the world, everyone wants to see it and it would be robbing people of what they love." Martin Kallen, Uefa operations director, told BBC Sport that fan zones around the tournament - where large numbers of football supporters gather to watch games on large screens - will still be set up. The chancellor told MPs employment and jobs grew faster in the north than the south during the last year. Setting out his plans in the Commons, he announced that Greater Manchester would be allowed to keep 100% of growth in local business rates. Labour leader Ed Miliband said it was a budget that "simply won't be believed". Mr Osborne said that Greater Manchester's decision to appoint an elected mayor from 2017 was "the most exciting development in civic leadership for a generation." A new city deal has also been agreed with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, he said, at a time when Yorkshire has created more jobs than France. A transport strategy for the north was due to be published this week, he added. Mr Osborne said: "Over the last year, the north grew faster than the south. We are seeing a truly national recovery. And where is employment growing fastest? The North West. "Where is a job being created every 10 minutes? The Midlands. And which county has created more jobs than the whole of France? The great county of Yorkshire. "For our ambition for a truly national recovery is not limited to building a northern powerhouse. We back in full the long-term economic plans we have for every region." Mr Miliband said the north had suffered under the coalition's rule with cuts to local government budgets and tax credits. "This government is no friend of the north," he added. Also announced as part of the budget were plans to invest £11m in creating technology hubs in Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield. The sites will offer co-working space, meeting spaces and educational resources to entrepreneurs working in the digital sector. Sheffield's Olympic Legacy Park is also to get £14m from the government for a new physical activity research centre. There is clearly disappointment in West Yorkshire at what is seen as an inferior devolution deal to the one already in place across the Pennines. The combined authority had been given powers to improve the economy and job creation, as well as take over training and apprenticeships and boost housing and transport. These are broadly in line with a similar deal agreed with the South Yorkshire combined authorities before Christmas, but fall short of the latest powers being devolved over the Pennines, which includes control of health services. The chancellor also announced that Greater Manchester will be able to increase its income by retaining all of the new business rates, but no mention of whether he is thinking of giving the same benefit to either West or South Yorkshire. Mr Osborne said the deal would devolve powers for things like transport, business support and skills in West Yorkshire, but did not provide detail. Councillor Peter Box, Labour leader of Wakefield Council and chairman of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, previously said he would welcome any extra power but would reject a regional executive mayor. Speaking about the announcement today, he said: "The deal is disappointing and doesn't match the scale of our ambition. It undermines the government's claim to want a strong northern powerhouse. "If we are to turn that into a reality we need real devolution, including fiscal devolution, to enable us to bring about a step change in the city region's economy." Councillor Andrew Carter, leader of Leeds City's Council's Conservative party, said he wanted to to see an elected mayor in Leeds. "[It] will give proper public scrutiny and accountability to what will then be a Manchester style package of devolution, which has to be a good thing," he said. George "Johnny" Johnson was 22 when he took part in the 1943 air raid using experimental bouncing bombs in Germany. TV mathematician Ms Vorderman said she would submit a formal nomination calling for him to be knighted. Friends of Mr Johnson have criticised the honours system after he was left off this year's list. Ms Vorderman said: "I hadn't realised someone had nominated him. Then to be snubbed I thought was absolutely disgraceful." She is also launching her own petition, following another one made by campaigner Paul Walmsley who wanted the recognition for the man who retired as a squadron leader. The 95-year-old, from Bristol, is the last surviving member of the Bomber Command crews who used Barnes Wallis's revolutionary bouncing bombs - releasing them 60ft above ground. The bombs were released on a night of raids on German dams in 1943 in an effort to disable Hitler's industrial heartland. Ms Vorderman added: "He is already 95 and when he was asked to step forward he had no hesitation, just as all those in Bomber Command - none of them had any hesitation. "If you were part of Bomber Command you had more chance of surviving the Battle of the Somme - that is how many died, it was about half, a 50/50 chance and they were all volunteers. "They were incredibly brave and they have been treated disgracefully since then - even today they haven't got a medal." An ambassador for the RAF Air Cadets for the past two years, Vorderman, who is a trained pilot, said she first met Mr Johnson last summer at an event on Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol. She said in the years since he left Bomber Command he has been a teacher, a counsellor, and has raised huge amounts of money for charity. "He is an amazing man, he is one of the most charming people you could ever wish to meet - and modest, just wonderful," she said. The alliance is seen by many observers, but in particular by Shia Muslims in Pakistan and the Middle East, as a new Saudi-inspired Sunni block to counter Iran's growing influence among Shias in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. After months of silence from Gen Sharif, Pakistan's defence ministry has now said that both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have come to an agreement on his posting. So far at least there does not seem to be an army made up of soldiers from any of these 39 countries and what exactly Gen Sharif will do in Saudi Arabia has not been disclosed. But Pakistanis are anxious given that 20% of the population are Shia, there are large numbers of Shia officers and soldiers in the army - which has never faced sectarian unrest - and memories of the horrors of the 1980s when Saudi Arabia and Iran were accused of fighting a proxy war on Pakistani soil live on. Each state, it was alleged, funded and supported militant Sunnis and Shia respectively in Pakistan to kill each other. Even today there are still widespread attacks launched largely by Sunni militants against Shia across Pakistan and the government has so far failed to bring this sectarian war to an end. Many Shia have left the country. The deal has prompted enormous debate in Pakistan, with the main opposition coming from Imran Khan's Tehreek-e-Insaf party, which says such a deal would worsen the Sunni-Shia rift in Pakistan. The main advocate of the plan is Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who owes the Saudis several political debts, including his release from a jail sentence imposed a decade ago after he was toppled in a military coup. Mr Sharif then lived for many years in exile as a guest of the Saudis. The army has also been historically close to the Saudis, providing troops and training in the 1980s to the Saudi armed forces and receiving help for the purchase of weapons systems. Many Pakistanis are desperately keen that the country stay out of the crises that have gripped the Middle East. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are jointly trying to defeat the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are Shia. The Saudis are also suspected of supporting a variety of militant Sunni groups fighting the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria and of having helped Bahrain crack down on protests led by its majority Shia population. Pakistan would like to avoid any involvement in these countries. The Saudis have long asked Pakistan to contribute to its forces in Yemen, which so far Pakistan has refused to do. Last year Pakistan's parliament voted against sending Pakistani troops to Yemen. However the new Islamic alliance led by the Saudis and the appointment of Gen Sharif may alter the strategic picture for some. Meanwhile Iran has increased its presence throughout the Middle East particularly in providing military aid to regimes in Iraq and Syria, while it is also allegedly helping the Houthis and other Shia in the region. Iran has strongly objected to the appointment of Gen Sharif as head of the alliance. ''We are concerned that it may impact the unity of Islamic countries,'' said Iran's Ambassador to Pakistan Mehdi Honardoost on 4 April. Islamabad insisted that it had told Iran of the appointment, but Tehran said that did not mean it had accepted the decision. Instead Iran has offered to help form a ''coalition of peace'' in the Middle East rather than forming a military alliance. Raheel Sharif's acceptance of the job has led to intense debate on political talk shows on TV channels, with many people questioning why a very popular former army chief should now enter the quagmire of the Middle East, which may ultimately force Pakistan to make difficult strategic choices and almost certainly sour its relationship with Iran. Much of the print media has been critical of the appointment, which has not been helped by the total blackout of information from both the government and the army as to what exactly this alliance hopes to achieve or how it will benefit Pakistan. ''The government is pursuing a course of action that undermines Pakistan's status as a neutral referee in the Muslim world,'' said Pakistan Today in an editorial. Newly appointed Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua has pledged that Pakistan will maintain a balance in its relations with Tehran and Riyadh "even though it's very challenging". There has been longstanding criticism from politicians and the media that Pakistan has been ignoring Iran, even though it is an important neighbour. So far Gen Sharif's appointment has only increased that criticism and created considerable unease as to the future course of Pakistan's foreign policy. A 3-2 victory over closest challengers Aberdeen opened up a 12-point gap with two games to play. And it sealed a second title in two years for Deila, who will leave the club this summer. "We have shown that we are the best team," the Norwegian told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound. "It means that we are the best team in Scotland. It's a very, very good achievement." Deila announced he would be departing shortly after Celtic's Scottish Cup semi-final defeat by Rangers, having also lost a League Cup semi-final to Ross County this season. The Premiership winners also had a disappointing European campaign - dropping into the Europa League from the Champions League qualifiers for a second year in a row and finishing bottom of their group. "We have lost important games, that makes the season a little bit more grey than white but in the league we have been very, very consistent and we haven't lost since we played Aberdeen up there in the beginning of February," Deila explained. "We have done a lot of good things but the last two months, we haven't had that real energy in the team like we had before in the season. "I've had fantastic staff around me. The players have been supporting me all the time, working really, really hard and I'm very, very happy for them. "It's been two long seasons - I'm not used to having so long seasons - it's been tough but it's good when you cross the line. "It's a special place to be here in Celtic, in paradise, so of course I'm going to miss it." Against the Dons, Celtic opened up a 3-0 lead with Patrick Roberts firing home twice in the first half and Mikael Lustig finishing well shortly after the break. However, Aberdeen replied with Niall McGinn slotting past Craig Gordon and Andy Considine heading the visitors' second. "The players here have great talent and they're young but when things are going against us, it's important to be brave and to be strong; to have that belief and confidence to play in difficult situations," Deila said of Celtic's performance. Roberts, who impressed with his two left-foot strikes, said: "It's always good scoring goals and to do it to win the title is great and I've enjoyed it very much. It was unreal out there on Celtic Park." And, asked what his targets were for next season, the on-loan Manchester City winger replied: "Obviously it's the treble and Champions League." The teenager will remain with the club next term and now has five Celtic goals to his name. Top scorer Leigh Griffiths is nearing 40 goals for the season and said: "It's been one of the best [seasons] of my life. "Thirty-nine goals - I've still got one game to go as I'm suspended for the last game. "We're champions again, deservedly so." You wanted to know if a village existed at Ironbridge before the famous structure was built over the river. You were curious to know if the Staffordshire oatcake was eaten outside of the county and if so, how far the local delicacy had travelled. And you asked about Shakespeare's birthday celebrations in Stratford-upon-Avon. Here is how we got on with answering your questions. There was a community before the bridge and it was called Coalbrookdale - a name which still describes the area a little further along the gorge. The Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust told us the location was chosen because land there was stable enough to support a bridge ands high enough for boats to pass underneath. It's like a pancake, but not a pancake. It's definitely not a biscuit like its Scottish cousin. The Staffordshire oatcake is a unique delicacy people in the county will at times talk about for a long, long time. It's made from a recipe typically including oatmeal and yeast and turns out looking rather like a dirty flannel. But don't let that put you off. People in the Potteries love them. They've sent us questions about their history and appeal and told us how they've taken their oatcakes across the world. Thousands of people turned out to this artistic event on Saturday. BBC Midlands Today's Lindsay Doyle was there and you can watch her report here. BBC News Online reader James Willets sent in these scenes and made his own video of the day. "It covers the journey of the quill, representing Shakespeare's legacy, from his birthplace to the chancel of Holy Trinity Church," said Mr Willets. Have you got a question about the West Midlands? It could be a burning issue, or something you have always wondered about. Use the tool below to send us your question and we could be in touch. The woman, who was in her 20s, had descended a steep, slippery slope in the Devil's Pulpit, a gorge in Finnich Glen, on Wednesday evening. Lomond Mountain Rescue Team were contacted by police after the woman's friend raised the alarm. The woman, who was uninjured, was lifted out of the gorge by the team using a series of ropes and pulleys. A Lomond Mountain Rescue Team spokesman said: "Team members quickly arrived, sending individuals down to prepare her for the hoist out and establishing the rope system. "The grateful explorer was extricated, none the worse for her adventure, within the hour, in fading light. " She revealed the news live on stage at London's O2, where she is in the middle of a six-night residency. "Who's going to Glastonbury this year?" she asked. "See you there. I'll be there. I'll be headlining on the Saturday night this year." "I've had to keep that secret for years!" the star added. Glastonbury later confirmed the news on Twitter. Adele now joins Muse and Coldplay at the top of the bill when the festival takes place in June. "What a great honour it is to have the wonderful Adele confirmed for this year's Saturday night headline spot!" said festival organiser Emily Eavis. Adele's latest album, 25, has sold more than 19 million copies worldwide, and is currently number one in the UK albums chart. Earlier this week, the singer teased fans in Manchester that she would "see them at Glastonbury" even she didn't perform. "I'll be dressed as Elsa and my kid will be Olaf," she said, referring to characters from the Disney film Frozen. Last November, Adele told Beats 1 radio that she had been put off playing the festival after watching Kanye West's headline set in 2015. "I wasn't anywhere near the stage and it was the biggest crowd I'd ever seen," she told Zane Lowe. "I froze with fear, I just thought: 'I don't know if I can do that.'" Online reaction to Adele's booking has largely been positive. "Adele wouldn't be my choice of headliner, but I'll bet she will be amazing," wrote Dave Gray on Twitter. "If you don't think Adele is the best possible booking Glastonbury could make, other than Led Zeppelin, you're mad," added Haydn. Beth Howard said she couldn't "wait to be crying my eyes out to Adele at Glastonbury." But Hally Golightly was less positive, writing: "Adele and Coldplay headlining Glastonbury, so you can take your Mum I guess." This year's Glastonbury festival takes place in Somerset from 22 to 26 June. Jeff Lynne's ELO have been announced for the Sunday afternoon "legends" lot, which in recent years has been filled by Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers. PJ Harvey and Jess Glynne are the only other confirmed acts on the bill. The festival traditionally waits until the final tranche of tickets have been sold, following the spring resale, before revealing its full line-up. The service at the chapel of Westcott House in Cambridge was to commemorate LGBT history month. The congregation was told the use of the lexicon was an attempt to "queer the liturgy of evening prayer". But officials said it had not been authorised and was at variance with the doctrine and teaching of the church. Polari is thought to have originated in Victorian London but fell out of use as homosexuality began to be decriminalised in England in the 1960s. Its words, however, were brought to wider public attention in the same decade by comedian Kenneth Williams in the BBC radio series Round the Horne. One person present at the service told BBC News it was led by an ordinand - a trainee priest - rather than a licensed minister. The congregation was also made up of trainees. While they had been given permission to hold a service to commemorate LGBT history month, a Church of England source said the college chaplain had not seen the wording of the service. The translation was based on the Polari bible, a work compiled as a project in 2003 by the self-styled Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The scripture and liturgy were printed on to an order of service. An Old Testament reading from the Prophet Joel which says "rend your heart and not your garments, return to the Lord your God" was printed in Polari as "rend your thumping chest and not your frocks - and turn unto the Duchess your Gloria: for she is bona and merciful". Instead of the traditional "Glory be to the father, and to the son, and the Holy Spirit" the prayer offered was: "Fabeness be to the Auntie, and to the Homie Chavvie, and to the Fantabulosa Fairy". Services in the Church of England are legally required to be conducted using the church's approved liturgy. The principal of Westcott House, the Rev Canon Chris Chivers, said the liturgy of the service had not been authorised for use. He said: "I fully recognise that the contents of the service are at variance with the doctrine and teaching of the Church of England and that is hugely regrettable. "Inevitably for some members of the house this caused considerable upset and disquiet and I have spoken at length to those involved in organising the service. "I will be reviewing and tightening the internal mechanisms of the house to ensure this never happens again." The independent investigation into Savile's behaviour at the hospital is due to be published at 09:30 GMT. Lawyer Liz Dux, representing 44 claimants of abuse at the hospital, said it would be a "disgrace" if senior management escaped blame. Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust says it will respond later. Savile, who died aged 84 in October 2011, was a major fund-raiser and regular visitor to Stoke Mandeville for more than 20 years. He had a flat and office on the hospital site. The Stoke Mandeville inquiry was led by independent investigator Dr Androulla Johnstone and overseen by a local oversight panel led by the hospital trust's non-executive director, Keith Gilchrist. The report was originally expected to have been completed by the end of 2013 but has been repeatedly delayed. Investigations into 28 other hospitals, including Leeds General Infirmary and Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, were published last June. One of the complaints of abuse is believed to have been made to a nurse, a ward sister and a hospital manager. Nine reports were made to nurses alone, with one more also reaching a manager, the report is believed to say. It will also highlight that more than 50 people were abused by Jimmy Savile at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Victims included patients, staff and visitors. One victim is understood to have been as young as eight. The BBC has spoken to one victim, who has not been named to protect her identity. She was 18 and a patient at the time. She said Savile climbed through the window by her bed before sexually assaulting her. She said: "It was absolutely disgusting, it's just the worst thing possible." She said Savile seemed to know all about her reason for being at Stoke Mandeville: "I told the nurses what Savile had done, the fact that he came in and had spoken to me. How did he know these things about me? They just said they know he's like that and 'ignore him, ignore him'. They thought it was funny, really. "I thought he'd just done that to me, I thought that was something I was just going to have to live with. I had no idea he was doing things to other people." Lawyer Ms Dux of Slater & Gordon, who represents the majority of the victims, said: "As an institution, Stoke Mandeville, in my opinion, is actually the most blameworthy for Savile's crimes. We have very young vulnerable people there, who were there in a place to be looked after, some of whom couldn't move, some of them were in wheelchairs. "We even have a clear example of someone reporting the abuse to a senior nursing sister and being told to be quiet because of what he did for the institution." "It will be a disgrace if the report into Stoke Mandeville reaches the same findings as it did in Leeds - that there was no accountability or knowledge within the senior management of the hospital." Investigators found that members of staff at Leeds General Hospital failed to pass on complaints of abuse to senior managers. The BBC understands the report will also say Savile's reputation as a 'sex pest' was an open secret. Staff described him as 'creepy' and 'a lecher' who had access to the mortuary alone, out of hours. Stoke Mandeville's former director of nursing, Chris McFarlane, said reports of abuse by Savile "never reached senior management ears". She said Savile was free to go anywhere in the hospital: "If 0% was no access and 100% was total access, Jimmy had 100% access to the hospital, to all parts. "If he knocked on a closed door and somebody opened the door, Jimmy would be allowed in. I don't believe I ever knew anybody, even the ones who thought there was something funny about him, anybody who would have said 'you're not allowed in here.' "How could we have allowed him to sit with our patients in the spinal unit, some of whom were tetraplegic, so paralysed from the neck down, others from the chest or waist down, sit with them, without anybody bothering to ask what he was doing?" Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust said it would not provide any comment before the report was published. The two legs of the quarter-finals will be on 9 and 12 May with the semi-finals held over 16 and 19 May. The first leg of the final will be on 25 May, with the second leg on 28 May. Falkirk or Dundee United - currently second and third in the Championship - will play Greenock Morton in the quarter-final. The side who finishes higher in the league will bypass the quarter-finals and meet that tie's winner in the semi-finals. The final round of Championship fixtures takes place on Saturday, with Falkirk away to Dumbarton and United visiting Morton. The Bairns are currently one point ahead of the Tangerines. The semi-final winners face the Premiership's second bottom side in the final and the winner will be in the top flight next season, the loser consigned to the Championship. All of the Premiership's bottom six clubs - Kilmarnock, Ross County, Dundee, Hamilton Academical, Motherwell and Inverness Caledonian Thistle - are in contention to occupy the second bottom place, with the side finishing 12th being relegated automatically. There are four rounds of Premiership fixtures remaining and Killie are the only one of the bottom six sides that will definitely avoid finishing in bottom place. Championship winners Hibernian have already secured promotion to next season's Premiership, while Morton can finish no higher than fourth. To ensure Dundee's home match against Inverness does not take place on the same night as a Dundee United home match in the play-offs, Dundee v Inverness has been moved to 17 May. Quarter-final 9 May: Morton v Championship third-placed side 12 May: Championship third-placed side v Morton Semi-final 16 May: Quarter-final winner v Championship second-placed side 19 May: Championship second-placed side v quarter-final winner Final 25 May: Semi-final winner v Premiership 11th-placed side 28 May: Premiership 11th-placed side v semi-final winner Jones' side have won a Grand Slam and completed a 3-0 series whitewash of Australia since he took charge in 2015. The Australian's staff are to meet with GB's Olympic hockey, judo and cycling coaches as they look for improvements. "We need to coach better so our staff have been working very hard investigating other sports," he said. "With Great Britain doing so well at the Olympics, there are a number of sports to look at and learn from." Team GB won 67 medals at Rio 2016 to finish second in the table ahead of China. The women's hockey team, coached by Danny Kerry, won gold for the first time by beating defending champions the Netherlands in a dramatic penalty shootout. Jones said: "If you look on face value at the talent in that team compared to the Holland team, it's probably not as great so his ability to create such a dynamic and hard-working team is fascinating." Media playback is not supported on this device Jones says he would be happy for his staff to join next summer's British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, should they be chosen by Warren Gatland. Wales boss Gatland will name his backroom staff on 7 December, with England forwards coach Steve Borthwick and defence coach Paul Gustard both contenders. "It's a great opportunity for them to learn from Warren, who is one of the most experienced coaches in the world," said Jones. Media playback is not supported on this device Sources in her party say she made the decision to leave unexpectedly, shortly before she was due to appear at the Supreme Court on negligence charges. Her lawyers told the court she had been unable to attend because she was ill. But when she failed to appear, the court issued an arrest warrant for her and confiscated her bail. Judges also postponed the verdict until 27 September. Ms Yingluck has denied any wrongdoing in the scheme which cost Thailand billions of dollars. If found guilty at the end of her two-year trial, she could be jailed for up to 10 years and permanently banned from politics. Sources within Ms Yingluck's Puea Thai Party told Reuters that she had "definitely left Thailand" but did not give details of her whereabouts. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, who heads Thailand's military government, said all routes out of the country were being closely monitored. "I just learned that she did not show up [at court]," he told reporters. "I have ordered border checkpoints to be stepped up." Deputy PM Prawit Wongsuwan initially said he had no information on Ms Yingluck's whereabouts but as he left a meeting in Bangkok he said: "It is possible that she has fled already." Analysis by Jonathan Head, BBC News, Bangkok Yingluck Shinawatra was the most high-profile criminal defendant in Thailand and was constantly monitored by the military authorities. So how was she able to leave the country just hours before the verdict was due to be read out? Immigration authorities say they have no record of her leaving the country. However, it is a poorly-concealed secret that some in the military government would have been happy to see her leave the country before the verdict. Had she been convicted and jailed, she could have been seen as a victim by her supporters. The government was nervous about their reaction. Acquitting her, though, would have been equally unacceptable to her hard-line opponents, many of them very influential. That would also have undermined the justification for the military coup which overthrew her government. So it is unlikely anyone tried to stop her leaving, or that they will try to get her back. She could have gone to the VIP area of one of Bangkok's airports and taken a private jet out of the country or she might have driven across the border into Cambodia or Laos. However she is most likely to have joined her brother, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who has been living mainly in Dubai since he went into exile, fleeing a Supreme Court verdict, in 2008. Ms Yingluck's lawyer had requested a delay in the ruling, telling the Supreme Court that she had vertigo and a severe headache and was unable to attend. But the court said in a statement it did not believe she was sick as there was no medical certificate and that the claimed sickness was not severe enough to prevent her travelling to court. "Such behaviour convincingly shows that she is a flight risk. As a result, the court has issued an arrest warrant and confiscated the posted bail money," the statement said. Ms Yingluck posted $900,000 (£703,000) bail at the beginning of her trial. Friday's turn of events took many by surprise, including the hundreds of people who turned up outside the Supreme Court in Bangkok to support Ms Yingluck. BBC Thai reporter Nanchanok Wongsamuth said the announcement prompted shocked reactions in the courtroom, and then a flurry of activity as journalists ran out to report the news. Ms Yingluck, who became Thailand's first female prime minister in 2011, was impeached in 2015 over the rice scheme by a military-backed legislature, which then brought the legal case. The scheme, part of Ms Yingluck's election campaign platform, launched shortly after she took office. It was aimed at boosting farmers' incomes and alleviating rural poverty, and saw the government paying farmers nearly twice the market rate for their crop. But it hit Thailand's rice exports hard, leading to a loss of at least $8bn and huge stockpiles of rice which the government could not sell. Though it was popular with her rural voter base, opponents said the scheme was too expensive and open to corruption. During her trial, Ms Yingluck had argued she was not responsible for the day-to-day running of the scheme. She has insisted she is a victim of political persecution. In another development on Friday, former Thai minister Boonsong Teriyapirom was jailed for 42 years in connection with the rice subsidy scheme. The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok says the exceptionally heavy sentence for Mr Boonsong suggests the court would not have been lenient with Ms Yingluck and it is possible she was warned about this before making her decision to flee. Ms Yingluck's time in office was overshadowed by controversy as well as strong political opposition. The youngest sister of Mr Thaksin, she was seen by her opponents as a proxy for her brother, who was controversially ousted by the military in 2006. Both siblings remain popular among the rural poor, but are hated by an urban and middle-class elite. Their Puea Thai party has - under various different names - won every election in Thailand since 2001. Some of Ms Yingluck's supporters outside the court on Friday expressed understanding at her failure to show. "The Thai prime minister has done her best, she has sacrificed a lot," said Seksan Chalitaporn, 64. "Now the people have to fight for themselves." Telecommunications billionaire Mr Thaksin, who once owned Manchester City FC, has lived in self-imposed exile since leaving Thailand. It is believed he travels between homes in London, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. May 2011- Yingluck Shinawatra is elected PM, and shortly afterwards begins rolling out her rice subsidy scheme. January 2014 - Thailand's anti-corruption authorities investigate Ms Yingluck in connection to the scheme. May 2014 - She is forced to step down from her post after Thailand's constitutional court finds her guilty of abuse of power in another case. Weeks later the military ousts what remains of her government. January 2015 - An army-backed legislature impeaches Ms Yingluck for corruption over her role in the rice scheme, which effectively bans her from politics for five years. It also launches legal proceedings against her. August 2017 - Ms Yingluck fails to appear at court for the verdict, claiming ill health. The new rules make it illegal for children to buy tobacco and nicotine vapour products (NVPs). However, campaign group Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) Scotland gave the new laws only a cautious welcome. Chief executive Sheila Duffy said the priority should be to target retailers who sell traditional cigarettes to children. Under the new laws, anyone buying NVPs for those underage will be breaking the law. And shops selling the products will be required to have an age verification policy and to be registered. Public health minister Aileen Campbell said: "We know e-cigarettes are almost certainly safer than cigarettes and have a role to help people quit smoking, but we don't believe children should have access to them - that's why these age restrictions are so important." She added: "We are working closely with the Scottish Grocers' Federation to make retailers aware of these changes and what they mean for their daily business. "A campaign is already under way across Scotland and will continue to run throughout the summer to ensure everyone is aware of these changes to the law." Ms Duffy, of ASH Scotland, said: "Nicotine is addictive and as there is some level of health risk associated with using these products, it is right that we keep them out of the hands of children. "With the regulatory framework for e-cigarettes falling into place, now is the time to remind people that smoking tobacco is by far the more harmful activity." She added: "There are still 30 to 40 young people in Scotland taking up smoking every day and the priority must be for further action against those retailers who sell to children and to challenge the attitudes amongst adults who buy cigarettes on heir behalf." The changes were brought in by the Health Act 2016, which also set out restrictions on e-cigarette advertising and a ban on vending machines selling the products. Both measures are due to be introduced later this year. Until now, Taiwan drains couldn't cope with toilet roll and it had to go in a bin. Now a new kind of loo paper there can now break down in water, which means it can be flushed like we do in the UK. But most people are used to throwing it in bins instead, so signs have been put up, telling people what to do. The sign reads: "The answer to a big mystery! Toilet paper can be flushed down the toilet, did you know that?" Sounds like they need to roll with it and not loo-se the plot... Hughes is in a critical condition after being struck on the head by a bouncer in a state match in Sydney on Tuesday. Simmons was hit by a David Lawrence ball in 1988 but made a full recovery following life-saving brain surgery. "I was out of hospital in eight days, which none of the doctors expected. I hope he pulls through," said Simmons. Simmons was the same age as Hughes - 25 - when he took a blow on the head from a Lawrence short ball in fading light in Bristol during a tour match against Gloucestershire. His heart stopped and he required emergency surgery at Frenchay Hospital. But Simmons, who unlike Hughes was not wearing a helmet, made a full recovery, playing in a charity match in the Caribbean four months later before resuming his international career the following year. "My injury was as serious as you can get," Simmons, now Ireland coach, told BBC World Service. "I had to have emergency surgery to have a clot removed from my brain. "I was written off as never to play again and put in a long-term unit for head injuries, but I was out in eight days." Simmons also said he felt sympathy for New South Wales bowler Sean Abbott, whose delivery struck Hughes on the back of the head beneath his helmet after the batsman had missed a pull shot. Lawrence, who played five Tests for England before his career was ended by a horrific knee injury, was deeply affected by the aftermath of his delivery to Simmons. "I had known 'Syd' from a long time before," said Simmons. "We were friends before that through [West Indies paceman] Courtney Walsh. "My wife told me when I was in the hospital bed he came to visit. He was holding my hand with tears running down his cheek. "A bowler is never to blame. It's just one of those unfortunate things that happens once in every long while." Simmons said his wife hid the full details of his injury from him for two years after he regained consciousness, helping him focus on returning to the cricket field. "All I thought about when I came through was that I wanted to play again," he added. "I wasn't studying all the tubes all over my body. "That was my catalyst. I looked forward to playing cricket again and playing for the West Indies." Hughes, who received mouth-to-mouth resuscitation at the side of the pitch, is in an induced coma at St Vincent's Hospital after surgery. Doctors will provide an update on his condition on Wednesday. "My wife called me as soon as it happened," added Simmons. "He is the same age as I was with the same name. I think there's an omen somewhere that he will pull through and I hope so." John Gibson, 45, had access to all areas at the stadium while he was working there with Brinks Allied. He was based at the security desk at the Hogan Stand and has since resigned his position. Each booklet had a total of 33 tickets allowing admission into each game at Croke Park for the GAA season of 2014. The seven booklets had a total value of 9,313 euros (£6,834). The court heard that there is no entitlement to sell off tickets individually so the booklets were effectively worthless and Gibson never made a profit from them. At Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, Gibson of St Catherine's Gate, Rush, County Dublin, pleaded guilty to theft of the booklets from Croke Park on dates between January and March 2014. He had no previous convictions. Judge Martin Nolan gave him a 18-month suspended prison sentence. He said he believed that Gibson had already suffered through his loss of employment and accepted he had shown considerable remorse for the offence. "He is a decent man who made a serious mistake on the day in question," said Judge Nolan, adding that it was "painfully obvious" that he didn't deserve a jail sentence. Earlier, a detective told the court the GAA spotted the tickets for sale on a website and immediately cancelled them. In a match between two sides safe from relegation, a mistake by Cherries goalkeeper Artur Boruc was punished when Salomon Rondon headed home. Boruc saved Craig Gardner's penalty before half-time, and Ritchie drew the hosts level with a close-range header. Craig Dawson hit the post late on as the Baggies pressed for a winner. Relive Bournemouth v West Brom Reaction to Saturday's Premier League matches The midfielder had earlier seen his penalty pushed onto the crossbar by Boruc, who dived to his right again to brilliantly push away the follow-up effort. The draw meant Bournemouth are without a win in four games, while West Brom's last victory came against Manchester United eight games ago. Bournemouth looked in control and untroubled until a glaring mistake from their goalkeeper gave West Brom the chance to strike. Boruc's low clearance went straight to Jonathan Leko, who dribbled towards the box before finding Evans on the left. The former Manchester United man's pinpoint cross was emphatically headed home by Rondon, and Boruc could only kick the ball angrily back towards halfway for the restart. Boruc will prefer to look back at the moments that kept his side in the game. West Brom were awarded a penalty three minutes before half-time when Tommy Elphick tangled with Gareth McAuley. Boruc tipped Gardner's spot-kick onto the bar with an excellent save, then got back to his feet quickly enough to push the follow-up away. It was a moment that proved vital, giving the Cherries the chance to come back late in the game. Bournemouth dominated possession and played the kind of attractive football they have for much of their debut Premier League season. Media playback is not supported on this device But it was a more basic approach that drew them level, with Ritchie latching on to a throw-in that slid off the head of Claudio Yacob inside West Brom's area. It was a moment of sloppy defending not usually associated with sides managed by Tony Pulis, and helped deny what would have been only their second away win in the league in 2016. West Brom host Liverpool, who just three days later will play in the Europa League final, on 15 May, the last day of the Premier League season. Also at 15:00 BST that day, Bournemouth travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in a match that could have an impact on the race for Champions League places. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "We didn't deserve to lose today, we had a lot of possession but they are not the type of team to go behind to." On Artur Boruc's save: "It made a different atmosphere in the ground. In the second half we were much improved and I thought we deserved the equaliser. "I'm slightly disappointed with elements of the performance, but overall you have to reflect on the season and it's been a great effort by the players." Media playback is not supported on this device West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "We're disappointed, the players have worked so hard. Bournemouth play the way they play, but they didn't really cause us any problems. "Harry Arter should have been booked for pushing Jonas Olsson over, then there's a blatant handball that again he doesn't get booked for and the challenge on Darren Fletcher is a straight red. "We've had five penalties this year, and missed four so we have to blame ourselves on that." Match ends, Bournemouth 1, West Bromwich Albion 1.

Tess of the d'Urvbervilles ends at Stonehenge and features the "sound". Modern-day druids also say they experience something special when they gather at Stonehenge and play instruments within the stone circle. However, Stonehenge is a ruin. Whatever sound it originally had 3,000 years ago has been lost but now, using technology created for video games and architects, Dr Rupert Till of the University of Huddersfield has - with the help of some ancient instruments - created a virtual sound tour of Stonehenge as it would have sounded with all the stones in place. Arriving at 07:00 on a decidedly chilly January morning, I was sceptical. Dr Till had arrived with a horn, a drum and some sticks to try to show me that, even in its partially deconstructed state, there was still a distinctive echo. Perhaps it's the mystique of the stones but it's easy to hear something. However, sound is always going to bounce off huge standing stones: how can we say that was in any way meaningful for people 3,000 years ago? Dr Till says there's a great deal of evidence that ancient people were intrigued and drawn to places that had a distinctive sound and Stonehenge had a "strange acoustic". Even today, the wind or drumming can, he says, help generate a 47hz bass note. He first got a taste of what the circle might do to sound when he visited a concrete replica of the original intact Stonehenge in Maryhill in the US state of Washington. He has now developed an app which will help people blot out the sounds - including those made by tourists, and cars on the nearby A303 - and go back to the soundscape of 3,000 years ago. He's used instruments that were used at the time, such as bone flutes and animal horns, to give people a sense of what music would have sounded like within the reverberation of the intact stone circle and says the site has some of the characteristics you might expect of a rock concert venue. Dr Till explains that there's there's strong evidence that people several thousand years ago had an interest in acoustic environments. He's worked on caves in Spain in which instruments have been found deep underground. The echoes of the tunnels and cave systems may have had a special meaning for people. There are also, what appears to be, human markings on certain "musical" stalactites. Strike the stalactites in the right way and they give off a deep resonant note and can be played like a huge vertical xylophone. Stonehenge is a magnet for strange theories but this reflects a wider movement within archaeology to try to recreate the past with the rapidly growing technology of virtual reality (VR). Dr Aaron Watson is a research archaeologist and specialises in visualising the past. VR, he says, opens up a new way of researching history. "The material record can't give us all the answers," he explains. "The moment we start creating a virtual reality world it begins to ask questions, especially about people. What were they wearing, what were their postures, were they highly coloured, tattooed? As soon as we create the immersive experience it demands those answers. "It gives a new sensory experience to looking at the past that might take us beyond what we describe in books." Six fire engines have been sent to Avondale Industrial Estate, Cwmbran, along with three water bowsers. South Wales Fire and Rescue Service received a callout shortly before 18:50 GMT on Saturday. It is not yet known how the fire began. Modric struck towards the end of the first half and his team created numerous chances to extend their lead as they dominated after the interval. Darijo Srna and Ivan Perisic struck the woodwork while Turkey keeper Volkan Babacan made several good saves as Croatia won the first match of a tough group that includes Spain and the Czech Republic. Turkey's best chance came in the opening half, when Ozan Tufan saw his header saved - but despite being roared on by their passionate fans inside the Parc des Princes, they were second best on Sunday. They did produce one scare for the Croatian defence right at the end but there was a timely block from Vedran Corluka, who was wearing a white bandage that evoked shades of former England defender Terry Butcher after suffering a cut to his head from a stray elbow in the first half. Just minutes before Modric broke the deadlock with his sensational volley, the Real Madrid playmaker had thrown his arms out in a gesture of frustration at a team-mate, indicating how he had wanted to receive the ball. The match was turning out to be a contest more about balls into the box from wide areas than defence-splitting passes. That was despite an abundance of talented midfielders on display, including Modric, Barcelona pair Ivan Rakitic and Arda Turan, plus Besiktas' highly-rated but disappointing Oguzhan Ozyakup, who was withdrawn at the break. Veteran right-back Srna had delivered several telling crosses into the Turkey area, as did Ivan Perisic from the left side, although Marcelo Brozovic in particular was guilty of failing to make the most of the openings. That all changed shortly before the break when Modric showed superb technique to strike crisply from 25 yards after a clearance from Selcuk Inan had looped high into the cloudy Paris sky. As the 30-year-old slid on his knees towards his team's fans - one of whom invaded the pitch to joint the celebrations - Turkey keeper Babacan might have wondered if he should have done better with the dipping shot. Croatia coach Ante Cacic said before Euro 2016 started that he hoped his team could be one of the surprises of the tournament, while several prominent Croatians think this might just be their most talented group of players. There was certainly much to admire as Sunday's match wore on, with Rakitic finally starting to punch holes in the Turkish defence and Croatia repeatedly threatening to score a decisive second. The superb Srna skimmed the crossbar with a free-kick and Perisic headed against the woodwork as Cacic's side looked to score a decisive second. Brozovic also went close with an acrobatic volley and a header that was tipped over as his side showed they have the ability to open up the opposition. What they do lack is a mobile forward, with the battering ram that is Mario Manduzic not ideally suited to the style espoused by the playmakers behind him. Turkey reached the semi-finals at Euro 2008 after beating Croatia on penalties, but will have to show a vast improvement if they are to make the last four here. Fatih Terim is in his third spell in charge of Turkey and his side showed plenty of resilience to qualify for Euro 2016 after a terrible start to their qualifying campaign. But they were second best against Croatia, with a defence that was opened up repeatedly after the break and an attack that offered little. Barcelona midfielder Turan, Terim's captain and key player, was a peripheral presence and was withdrawn with 25 minutes remaining, while free-kick specialist Hakan Calhanoglu, who has been compared to Mesut Ozil, was also disappointing. It was telling that the introduction of Emre Mor after 69 minutes was greeted by a huge roar from the Turkey fans. Mor is regarded as a huge talent but the playmaker is just 18 and if Terim is turning to him to bail out his team, then they clearly have problems. Croatia coach Ante Cacic: "Luka really deserves to be talked about, especially after this match. It was one of his best matches in Croatia's history. He played really well and he was our leader. "He scored a magical goal and at the end it was the only goal. We need Luka in this form. All the team looks better and more aggressive when he plays like that." Croatia face Czech Republic on Friday in St Etienne, with Turkey up against reigning champions Spain later the same evening in Nice. Match ends, Turkey 0, Croatia 1.

The Dungannon rider, who resumed road racing in 2014 after retiring in 2012, and Dan Cooper came off their bikes during the Supertwins race. The Belfast Trust said Farquhar, 40, suffered chest and pelvic injuries. Cooper was taken to the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine with shoulder injuries but was later discharged. The crash, which happened at the Black Hill section of the course near Portrush, led to racing being abandoned for the night. Farquhar was airlifted by police helicopter from the track after the accident and was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. A statement from the North West 200 organisers on Friday morning said that Farquhar remained "seriously ill in intensive care following surgery". Belfast Trust said on Saturday that Farquhar remains "seriously ill" . A well-known figure in motorcycling, he has won five races at the North West. He retired from the sport in 2012 following the death of his uncle Trevor Ferguson at that year's Manx Grand Prix in the Isle of Man. However, Farquhar resumed his road racing career in 2014, saying that his family backed his decision to return. Thursday's earlier practice session at the meeting saw an air ambulance being deployed after a rider was hurt. Nico Mawhinney from Castledawson crashed at the Mill Road roundabout and was transported to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, where he is said to be in a stable condition. There has been a campaign to get an air ambulance for Northern Ireland, and a fund to help achieve this is the official charity at this North West 200. Alastair Seeley, who won the earlier opening Supersport race to become the most successful rider in North West 200 history, was not competing in the Supertwin class where Farquhar and Cooper crashed. "I was in the pit lane when it happened and I heard the gasp from everybody as they were watching the monitors," said Seeley. "Our thoughts are just with the riders. I hope they have a speedy recovery." Seeley added that all the riders "know the risks" involved in the sport. "I always try and ride within the limit," added the Carrickfergus man. The army and other pro-government forces were reported to have entered deep into the city after IS pulled out. It ends the second occupation of Palmyra by the jihadists. The first time they controlled the area, the militants destroyed some of its most celebrated monuments. IS fighters were driven out in March last year, but managed to retake the city, its world famous ruins and the surrounding area in December. Syria's Ambassador to the United Nations Bashar al-Jaafari confirmed the recapture on Thursday. He said the city had been "liberated from the hands of the terrorist organisation" and that President Bashar al-Assad had kept his promise to drive them out. In Russia, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu was reported by local media to have told President Vladimir Putin on Thursday that Palmyra had been fully retaken by the Syrian army with help from the Russian air force. There were clashes and heavy shelling across the historic city as the offensive unfolded on Wednesday, UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. IS militants planted mines in several areas of the city before withdrawing, it said. IS held the ruins and the nearby city, known locally as Tadmur, for 10 months after seizing it for the first time in May 2015. It blew up temples, burial towers and the Arch of Triumph, believing the shrines and statues to be idolatrous. The jihadists also destroyed the 2,000-year-old Temple of Bel, the great sanctuary of the Palmyrene gods. The militants were then forced out by a Russian-backed government offensive in March 2016, but regained control while pro-government forces where focused on the battle for the city of Aleppo late last year. In January, satellite images revealed that the group destroyed the tetrapylon - a group of four pillared structures which were mainly modern replicas - and part of the Roman Theatre. The head of Unesco, Irinia Bokova, described the destruction as "a new war crime". The Foreign Affairs Committee said the government gave the impression of prioritising trade and security with China, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. This was despite a doubling in funding for the Foreign Office's dedicated human rights project. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said improving human rights was a "core function of the Foreign Office". But the committee's chairman, Conservative MP Crispin Blunt, said: "The actions and words of ministers in the Foreign Office have undermined the excellent human rights work carried out by the department. "This needs to be remedied." Giving evidence to the committee in October, Sir Simon McDonald, the Foreign Office's most senior civil servant, said human rights was "not one of our top priorities". This was strongly rejected by ministers, but the committee said written evidence it received suggested there was "plainly a perception that this has occurred". The committee welcomed the doubling of funding for the department's human rights programme, called the Magna Carta Fund for Human Rights and Democracy, to £10.6m. But it said the decision to restrict the fund to registered organisations "acts against an intelligent deployment of resources". The MPs criticised remarks by Middle East Minister Tobias Ellwood, who told the committee he could not remember whether he had raised human rights during a visit to Egypt with a business delegation. "We are disappointed by the parliamentary under-secretary of state's choice of language on this occasion and others, which raises questions about how energetically the government is raising human rights issues," the MPs said. And they said the Foreign Office had failed to send an "important message" by not including Egypt and Bahrain on a list of "Human Rights Priority Countries", saying this "contributes to the perception that the [Foreign Office] has become more hesitant in promoting and defending international human rights openly and robustly, notwithstanding the importance of private diplomacy". The department should be "more mindful of the perceptions it creates at ministerial level" in its dealings with China, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the report said, because "perceptions and symbols matter." It also said the the department's failure to fly the rainbow flag - an international symbol of equality - for the London Pride event in 2015 "sent a message that contradicts much of the actual work and objectives" of the department. And it suggested the Foreign Office's human rights work should be presented in a more "user-friendly fashion" so it can be evaluated more easily. Mr Hammond said: "I do not recognise this characterisation of our human rights work." The UK supports over 75 human rights projects in more than 40 countries, he said, adding that the doubling of funding for the projects was "a true measure of the importance we attach to this agenda". He added: "By mainstreaming human rights within the Foreign Office, we have ensured it will always be a central part of our diplomacy, delivering tangible results." Page has been interviewed by the FAW, but no contract has been signed yet. The 42-year-old is first-team coach at Championship club Nottingham Forest after he was sacked as manager by League One side Northampton in January. The former Cardiff City and Watford defender was capped 41 times by Wales in a 10-year international career. If he takes over, Page will succeed Geraint Williams, whose contract was not renewed by the FAW when it expired last year. The former Derby and Ipswich midfielder had been in charge since 2012.

Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla and Valencia striker Paco Alcacer both scored twice in Logrono as they beat Luxembourg 4-0 to win Group C. However, Manchester City midfielder David Silva and forward Alvaro Morata both came off with injuries. In Group E, Leicester City's Gokhan Inler scored as Switzerland thumped San Marino 7-0 to secure their spot. Slovenia's 1-1 draw against Lithuania ensured Switzerland join group winners England in France. Spain coach Vicente del Bosque was dealt early setbacks when Silva, with a sprained ankle, and Juventus forward Morata, with a calf injury, came off in the first half of their match. However, the 2010 World Cup winners, who are bidding to become the first country to win the championship three times in a row, still managed to come away with a comfortable win and qualification. Arsenal's Cazorla drove in the first and struck home from the edge of the penalty area, while substitute Alcacer scored from passes provided by Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas and Barcelona's Jordi Alba. "Finally we have managed it," said Cazorla. "We couldn't let our guard down and I think it was a great win." Behind them it is a battle between Slovakia, who lost 1-0 to Belarus, and Ukraine, who beat Macedonia 2-0, for the second automatic spot. They both have 19 points, with Ukraine hosting Spain and Slovakia, who have the better head-to-head record, at Luxembourg in Monday's final round of games. In Group G, Russia need a point against Montenegro on Monday to secure qualification, after their 2-1 win against Moldova. They have 17 points while Sweden have 15 points after their 2-0 win at Liechtenstein. Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed a penalty, but also scored his 58th international goal as the Scandinavian side secured at least a play-off spot. Match ends, Spain 4, Luxembourg 0.

A lawyer for PeWoBe said the emails had been quoted out of context and were never meant to be taken seriously. Some PeWoBe managers joked about how to spend a €5,000 (£4,340) donation. A "child guillotine" was suggested. Another email said residents would turn a sandpit into "an ashtray". PeWoBe runs nine migrant hostels in the German capital, catering for about 3,100 asylum seekers. Berlin's Social Affairs Senator Mario Czaja said the "inexcusable" email exchange between PeWoBe managers "makes it clear that any further work with PeWoBe is impossible". He said shortcomings had also been found earlier in PeWoBe's hostel management. It is not clear who could manage the hostels instead of PeWoBe, which remains under contract with the Berlin government. German media say PeWoBe is likely to appeal against Mr Czaja's decision. The unprecedented influx of migrants last year put German cities under huge pressure to find extra accommodation. About 1.1m migrants - many of them refugees from the conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - reached Germany. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. Ed Thomas has encouraged more programmes to use both Welsh and English to reflect life across Wales. Hinterland will broadcast its third bilingual season on 5 April, after the Welsh-language version Y Gwyll was shown on S4C last year. He said the use of both languages in Hinterland represented the "Wales that we are familiar with". The award-winning drama, filmed in Ceredigion, was originally an experiment to test programmes featuring both Welsh and English. He said: "It's really worked and I think more people will do that this year - which is a good thing." "There is definitely a place for showing and dramatising the reality of how we speak in Wales," he added. "We have a fragile identity here in this old country of Wales, so if bilingualism makes that last longer, [it is a] good thing." The A90 and M90 south of the crossing will be shut and the bridge itself will be open for local access only from 20:00 on Saturday until 06:00 on Monday. The closed section of road includes the M9 spur. The diversion route will involve the M9, the Kincardine Bridge and A985. However, there will still be local access between South Queensferry, Kirkliston and Dalmeny. The work will enable the demolition of the road bridge on the B800 between South Queensferry and Kirkliston. Stein Connolly, from Transport Scotland, advised motorists to plan their journey, avoiding the affected areas around the Forth Road Bridge if they can. He said: "The A90 south of the Forth Road Bridge will be totally closed and the Forth Bridge will be in contraflow, so there will be one lane running in each direction and we do expect there will be heavy congestion." Mr Connolly said the work was part of the improvement works for the new Queensferry Crossing. He said: "The B800 has to be demolished and this is the only safe and efficient way that we can do it. "We need to maximise the use of our closure so we have got other necessary works going on at the bridge, so it will reduce the closures at a later date." Further roadworks are planned for the weekends of 31 October and 14 November. Mr Connolly said: "We have programmed the closure to avoid the school holidays and major events in the area. There are not many good times to do it but it is a job that has to be done." Smith lost 7-5 to 16-time world champion Phil Taylor, while Chisnall was beaten 7-5 by Peter Wright. Those results meant Robert Thornton, the only other man who could have exited the competition on Thursday, was already assured of a top-eight place before he lost 7-4 to Adrian Lewis. Taylor's win put him a point clear at the top of the table. Michael van Gerwen drew 6-6 with fellow Dutchman Raymond van Barneveld, a result which extended the world number one's winless sequence in the Premier League to three matches. Meanwhile, defending champion Gary Anderson's run of six successive wins was ended by a 6-6 draw with James Wade. Points gained in the first nine weeks of the competition will be carried forward and the remaining eight players will face each other once during seven further rounds of fixtures. The top four in the table after 16 rounds will qualify for the play-offs in London on Thursday, 19 May. Premier League - round nine results James Wade 6-6 Gary Anderson Michael Smith 5-7 Phil Taylor Dave Chisnall 5-7 Peter Wright Robert Thornton 4-7 Adrian Lewis Raymond van Barneveld 6-6 Michael van Gerwen French in origin, it is now played right across the world and is one of the most inclusive activities available where people of all ages, gender, ability and fitness can play equally together. The most highly regarded of throws in pétanque is the "carreau". This is when a player shoots their opponent's boule in such a manner that their boule stops in exactly the same position as the original boule. It's not as easy as it sounds so why not give it a try? Played with hand-sized hollow metal boules on various types of dirt or gravel surfaces (terrains) the object of the sport is to get as many of your team' boules closer to a small wooden ball (jack) than that of your opponents. All boules of one team nearer to the jack than any boule of the opponent's counts for one point each. Usually all games are up to 13 points. Classically the sport is a team game of Triples (3 players with 2 boules each) or Doubles (2 players with 3 boules each) though pétanque can also be played as Singles (1 player with 3 boules). There are two main roles in pétanque :- 1)Pointer - tries to get their boule as close as possible to the jack 2)Shooter - tries to remove an opponent's boule The basic rules are simple and new players can start playing straight away but the various techniques of pointing and shooting as well as the tactics can take years of practice to master. Unlike in English bowls where teams always alternate play, in pétanque a team only throws their boule when the opponent's boule is closer to the jack. Therefore if your team's boule is closest to the jack it is deemed as holding the point and your opponents keep playing their boules until they are closer or out of boules. Why is it good for you? Pétanque is perfect as a low impact exercise involving throwing, bending and walking. However it also requires team play, concentration, tactics and strategy. Being a relatively inexpensive activity the social side of the sport is another of its great benefits. As long as you can hold and throw a boule you can play pétanque. The rules have also been adapted to include players who use wheelchairs or walking sticks for mobility. Get Involved In England the sport is run by the English Pétanque Association and structured around 15 regions each having a network of clubs. All clubs welcome new members and often run Come & Try days so that you can experience the sport. Go to English Petanque, Scottish Petanque, Welsh Petanque or Irish Petanque to find out about games near you. The only equipment you will need is a set of boules but many clubs will be able to loan you sets as well as advise where and what boules to buy. Competition class boules are sold in sets of 3 by different weights, sizes, patterns and hardness and the cost starts from around £50 a set. History The origin of boules can probably be traced back to ancient Greeks first tossing coins as far as possible then progressing to round stones. It is believed the Romans then introduced the concept of throwing as near as possible to a target. There are many variations of boules or bowls games around the world. Pétanque was derived in La Ciotat in1907 from its ancestor Jeu Provencal after one of the top players could no longer run and throw the boules due to rheumatism. The name pétanque is a derivation of the provençal word "ped tanca" and means "feet together on the ground". Pétanque is now by far the most popular of boule sports around the world, possibly due to its simplicity, with over 600,000 licensed players. Are you inspired to try Petanque?

A study found those slower in tests were more likely to have psychosis, like hearing voices and seeing things that are not present, at the age of 12. Children with psychotic experiences are more at risk of developing psychotic illnesses like schizophrenia as adults. It is hoped the Cardiff and Bristol universities study will help treatment. Some 6,784 children who took part in the study were tested to see how quickly they could process information. Their attention, memory, reasoning, and ability to solve problems were also assessed. Among those interviewed, 787 (11.6%) had had suspected or definite psychotic experiences by the time they were 12 - with children who scored lower in the tests more likely to have had them. This was particularly the case for the test that assessed how quickly the children processed information. Researchers said that the psychotic experiences could often be both distressing and frightening and interfere with children's everyday lives. The study has been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.. Maria Niarchou, from Cardiff University's School of Medicine, lead author of the study, said: "Previous research has shown a link between the slowing down of information processing and schizophrenia and this was found to be at least in part the result of anti-psychotic medication. "However, this study shows that impaired information processing speed can already be present in childhood and associated with higher risk of psychotic experiences, irrespective of medication." But her Cardiff colleague Dr Marianne van den Bree said not every child who processed information slowly was at risk of psychosis later in life. "Further research is needed to determine whether interventions to improve processing speed in at-risk children can lead to decreased transition to psychotic disorders," she said. Ruth Coombs, of the mental health charity Mind Cymru, said the research could help young people at risk of psychosis to build resilience and to benefit from early help. "It is important to remember that people can and do recover from mental health problems and we also welcome further research which supports resilience building in young people," she added. Susan Taylor, of Hawkcombe, died in her late 90s in December and left her money to the recreation ground in Porlock. Residents of the Somerset village are now being asked to come up with ideas on how to spend the bequest. Mike Lynch, from the recreation ground, said: "It is an amazing amount of money and we wanted to see what the main view was from the community." The Porlock Recreation Ground currently offers a "well equipped" children's playground, two football pitches, a cricket pitch, a floodlit tennis court and multisport court as well as a large pavilion. In her will Mrs Taylor said she wanted the funds "to be spent for the benefit of Porlock's residents and visitors who use the recreation grounds". She had lived in the village for many years and her family is said to "fully support" her wishes. Mr Lynch, chairman of the Porlock Recreation Ground management committee, said he found out about the legacy in January but had to "keep it under wraps" until probate was granted. "The first thing we did was send out a letter to the people in the village and the surrounding villages asking for their ideas," he said. "We've had around 80 responses - a swimming pool is probably the most mentioned." He added it would be "several months" before a final decision is made. "As you can appreciate it's not something we've done before so it's not easy to know how long it will take," he said. Kevin Pearson and his deputy Lorraine Houghton were suspended after the report unearthed an "old boys club" culture at Avon Fire Authority. Mr Pearson said the investigation was a "cynical ploy" to transfer power to the police and crime commissioner. The authority said it was "inappropriate" to comment. The Home Office report, published last month, said the leadership of Avon Fire Authority should be replaced. It said senior officers enjoyed big pay rises and enhanced pensions at a time of austerity. Avon Fire and Rescue Service said suspension of its chief fire officer and deputy was "a neutral act to protect the organisation and the individuals concerned". Avon and Somerset's Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens said she was considering a takeover of the area's fire service, after the report left a "nasty taste in the mouth". But in a statement, Mr Pearson said the inspection was a "complete sham". "This inspection has been no more than a cynical ploy to discredit the governance, leadership and management of a fire authority, in pursuit of a political agenda, which seeks to transfer governance to police and crime commissioners," he said. "The report is biased and imbalanced. It is littered with inaccuracies and misrepresentations." Mr Pearson accepted that people would have "differing views" about pay rises offered to a "few of its most senior officers". But he blamed national politicians for not being "like-minded" to give firefighters "decent pay increases that they thoroughly deserve". In response, Avon Fire Authority said: "As he [Mr Pearson] is currently suspended and absent on sick leave it would be inappropriate for the authority to make any comment." SAPT believes the 14-mile line would "revolutionise" transport in the area. SAPT chairman Dr John McCormick said the train service would appeal to commuters and help reduce journey times, congestion and pollution. It comes as a consultation about transport in the north east of Scotland draws to a close on Tuesday. Transport partnership Nestrans has been asking for feedback on several options aimed at improving links to the north of Aberdeen. Dr McCormick explained: "Aberdeenshire suffered most from the Beeching cuts in the 1960s, losing all its suburban and rural railway lines. "Train services to Fraserburgh and Peterhead were withdrawn in 1965 and these are now the furthest isolated towns from the Scottish rail network. "The very successful re-opening of the Borders rail link to Galashiels shows that a fast rail service is very attractive to commuters and other travellers. "In Aberdeenshire, the re-opened Dyce and Laurencekirk stations confirm that good train services are popular with travellers. "A fast train service from a railhead at Ellon via Dyce to Aberdeen would attract car commuters and help to regenerate the economy and reduce road congestion and pollution in Aberdeen city centre." He added: "Co-ordinated bus links from Fraserburgh and Peterhead to an Ellon railhead could be the first steps towards fully re-opening the railway to these towns." Campaigners have been arguing the Aberdeen City Regional Deal offers the chance to making the Ellon link a reality. Writing in Australian media, Mr Abbott said "not all cultures are equal" and the West should stop apologising for defending its values. Opposition leader Bill Shorten said the comments were "counterproductive". Current Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the vast majority of Muslims were "appalled" by extremism. Speaking to reporters in Perth, Mr Turnbull said it was "absolutely vital to ensure that we don't make the mistake, which is what the terrorists want us to do, of tagging every single Muslim with the responsibility for the crimes of the few". While it was "no revelation" that there were violent elements in the Muslim world, the religion is compatible with democracy and an open society, he said, and most victims of extremist groups are Muslims. Mr Turnbull would not comment on his predecessor's remarks directly, but advised that his own statements on extremism were always "carefully calculated" to "make Australia safer and to make the work of our security services less difficult than it already is". Mr Abbott was removed as prime minister by a party vote in September amid poor poll ratings and is now a backbench MP. Before his political career he had trained to be a Catholic priest. His letter, published in News Corps tabloids, cautioned against "demonising" Muslims, but said the West "can't remain in denial about the massive problem within Islam". "Although most Muslims utterly reject terrorism, some are all too ready to justify 'death to the infidel'," he said. "Islam never had its own version of the Reformation and the Enlightenment or a consequent acceptance of pluralism and the separation of church and state. "It's not culturally insensitive to demand loyalty to Australia and respect for Western civilisation. Cultures are not all equal. "We should be ready to proclaim the clear superiority of our culture to one that justifies killing people in the name of God." He also said only Muslims could tackle supporters of violent extremism, and that "everyone interested in a safer world should be reaching out to 'live and let live' Muslims and encouraging them to reclaim their faith from the zealots". Nail Aykan, executive director of Islamic Council Victoria, told the BBC Mr Abbott's comments were "completely unhelpful at a time when we are trying to foster unity and social cohesion in Australian society". He advised Mr Abbott to "go out and meet some real local Muslims and get their perspective before you start patronising a whole population". Mr Shorten of the opposition Labor party said that "making assertions about cultural and religious superiority is entirely counter-productive". "Inflammatory language undermines efforts to build social cohesion, mutual respect and has the potential to harm the efforts of national security agencies to keep Australians safe," he said, saying Mr Turnbull should "pull Tony Abbott into line". Greens leader Richard Di Natale told Sky News Mr Abbott was "an incredibly divisive, destructive force" in Australian politics, while Labor MP Ed Husic - who is a Muslim - said he was begging MPs "to think carefully about what they are saying". Australia is involved in the US-led international military operation against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, and is increasingly concerned about Australians fighting with or supporting the militants. Several raids have been carried out and officials says a number of plots have been disrupted. Last month, a teenage boy who police say had been radicalised shot dead a police worker in Sydney. The Met said it was a planned arrest and not in response to any immediate danger but was part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of terrorist activities overseas. The force added that the arrest was not related to Isis or Syria. A residential address in north London is being searched by officers. The arrested man is in police custody. Turner has been called up because of injuries to riders in the female side for racing's team event on 6 August. The 33-year-old, awarded an OBE in the Queen's birthday honours list this month, retired in November. But the women's team has been hit by withdrawals, including Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Michelle Payne. They will seek to retain the Shergar Cup, competing against male riders representing teams from Great Britain and Ireland, Europe and the Rest of the World. "I wouldn't have considered coming out of retirement for any other event," said Turner. "It's a real shame that Michelle Payne is unable to join the team and I wish her a speedy recovery. I'm looking forward to the challenge and hope myself, Emma-Jayne and Cathy Gannon can recreate the magic of our team's victory from last year." The ex-deputy prime minister will oppose Brexit Secretary David Davis and International Trade Secretary Liam Fox. Lib Dem leader Tim Farron promised the party would "protect the interests of the country", as he announced a reshuffle of his frontbench team Ex-police officer Lord Paddick will handle home affairs and Baroness Kramer will speak on the economy. Tom Brake, one of only eight Lib Dem MPs following the loss of most of the party's parliamentary seats at the last general election, has been named the lead spokesman on foreign affairs. And Alistair Carmichael, who served as Scottish Secretary in the coalition government, will shadow Chancellor Philip Hammond in his other role as first secretary of state, effectively the government's second most senior figure. It said 59% of the population were either overweight or obese. Its European Health Report also said the WHO Europe region, which includes parts of Asia, had the highest levels of alcohol and tobacco use in the world. And as a result, WHO officials warned, young people in the region "may not live as long as their grandparents". The report praised countries for cutting deaths from cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (which include heart attacks and stroke). However, it also warned that 30% of the region still smoked - a higher figure than for any other region. And an average alcohol consumption equivalent to 11 litres (20 pints) of pure alcohol a year was also a global high. Meanwhile, the proportion of people either overweight or obese ranged from 45% to 67%. The report said these figures were "alarmingly high". WHO regional director for Europe Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab said: "This report shows heartening progress. "But there is a very real risk that these gains will be lost if smoking and alcohol consumption continue at the current rate. "This is especially relevant to young people, who may not live as long as their grandparents." The fee could rise to £36m, making the deal one of Liverpool's most expensive, rivalling £32.5m for Christian Benteke and £35m for Andy Carroll. Manager Jurgen Klopp wants to boost his attacking options and made Mane a prime transfer target this summer. It had been thought the Saints wanted closer to £40m for the Senegalese. The deal is expected to be confirmed on Tuesday. Klopp was impressed by Mane when he scored twice as Southampton came from 2-0 down to beat Liverpool 3-2 at St Mary's on 20 March. Alongside England striker Daniel Sturridge and Belgium youngster Divock Origi, Mane, who scored 11 goals in 37 Premier League games last season, would add pace and a goalscoring threat. Liverpool may seek to recoup most of the money they spend on the Mane by selling fellow striker Benteke, who has struggled since his move from Aston Villa in 2015. Mane is set to tread a well-worn path between Southampton and Liverpool. Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Rickie Lambert and Nathaniel Clyne have all moved to Anfield since the summer of 2014. It would also give Saints a handsome profit on a player they bought from Salzburg for £10m two years ago. They have already sold midfielder Victor Wanyama to Tottenham for £11m. Southampton are still without a manager following the departure of Ronald Koeman to Everton but have been linked with former Nice boss Claude Puel. Liverpool also want to sign Leicester City's 19-year-old left-back Ben Chilwell, who did not play in the Foxes' title-winning campaign. This move is currently on hold because Liverpool are unwilling to meet Leicester's £10m asking price for the youngster who had a spell on loan at Huddersfield Town last season. The 26-year-old, who has played more than 100 games in three seasons with Liege, is new manager Bob Peeters' first signing at The Valley. Charlton also hope to complete a deal for FC Copenhagen's Igor Vetokele. The clubs have agreed a fee for the striker, who is expected in London next week to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical. 1 September 2014 Last updated at 13:07 BST 49 year-old Craig Jeeves said the quick-thinking feline managed to wake him up when the house caught fire. "She jumped on my head and sort of like was screaming at me and woke me up otherwise I wouldn't have got up," Jeeves said. Jeeves said he adopted Sally from a cat's home several years ago and now she had returned the favour. The fire service said he was lucky to have got out alive. "This discussion that we do not have control of our border - this is a lie," Yiannis Mouzalas said. "We have the best control of a sea border that anyone can have," he added. He was speaking to the BBC ahead of Thursday's EU summit, where Greece will report on its efforts to register migrants, many of them Syrian refugees. Athens has been told to tighten border controls, to ensure that refugees are properly identified and that those not in need of protection are returned to Turkey or their home countries. The EU hopes this will help reduce the flow of migrants to western Europe. The minister also said it was a lie that Greece had not set up enough accommodation to cope with the influx. The EU has demanded that Greece implement a raft of measures to improve border controls and facilities by May. If not, some EU member states have discussed potentially suspending Greece from the Schengen area, where there are no passport controls - a region covering most of Europe. Mr Mouzalas insisted the main reason his government had been slow in registering and identifying migrants and spotting false documents was because the EU had been slow in providing the equipment and personnel it needed. "Why is there now big progress in registration?" he said. "From 10% we are now at 90%, because now they have brought the machines that we were looking for, Eurodac (a fingerprint database)." The minister reserved his harshest criticism for countries like Hungary and Slovenia which, along with several other EU member states, have sent teams of police officers to help the Macedonian security forces patrol their border with Greece, to prevent migrants crossing illegally into Macedonia. Last week Austria told the Macedonian government to be ready to seal off the border to halt the flow of migrants. "Is Greece the enemy of Europe, are the refugees the enemy?" he said. "If someone believes something like that they have to declare it." As for Hungary and its position on the refugee crisis, Mr Mouzalas questioned whether it was possible for Athens to have friendly relations with Budapest. "They didn't give us a single blanket, for god's sake." "We want a Europe of the Enlightenment, a Europe of romanticism, not a Europe of the Middle Ages." A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. The 38-year-old had been attempting to become the first person to take blood and muscle samples at the summit to investigate the effects of altitude. But after reaching Camp Two on the mountain, he discovered he had dangerously thick blood that left him at risk of a heart attack or stroke. "I could have died," he said. The former Wales rugby international, originally from Pontypridd, was climbing without using supplemental oxygen as part of the collaborative British research expedition called Project Everest Cynllun. It was hoped data from the world-first bid would allow researchers to explore the mechanisms underpinning dementia and resilience. Parks had climbed to 6,400m (21,000ft) above sea level earlier this month - the summit is 8,848m (29,029ft) - when his team decided to check his blood. "If it wasn't for that unscheduled blood test I could have obliviously been stood on the summit now or I could be dead," he told BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad programme. "At sea level this would have been a very dangerous situation. But at the altitude I was and with the exertion levels I was under I could have been a ticking time bomb." He added he was undergoing more tests to find out what caused the anomaly in his blood. Despite feeling disappointment about the outcome of the trek - which he had been working on for two years - he said he was pleased scientists could still use the data he had collected for their work. He added: "I think in this chapter of my life, success is not black and white as it was on the rugby field. "I'm an ambitious man and I was really passionate about this project. It's been a difficult situation to process." Parks, who had previously climbed Everest and trekked solo to the South Pole, said his next challenge was starting a degree in psychology at the University of South Wales in September. "I'm going to take some time to reflect and spend time with loved ones," he added. Some 25,500 people complained about the issue in the first six months of 2015, more than in the whole of 2014. Packaged bank accounts offer additional benefits such as insurance and cheaper overdrafts, in return for a fee. But many customers complained that they were sold the accounts unwittingly or they did not need the insurance. While the number of complaints about Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) is now falling, the Ombudsman is now seeing about 1,000 complaints about packaged accounts every week. In 2014 there were 21,348 such complaints, and just 5,667 in 2013. Last month, Barclays set aside £250m to compensate customers who might have been mis-sold the accounts. Packaged bank accounts are often marketed as "gold" or "premium" - and customers typically pay between £5 and £25 a month. All the major banks and building societies have offered them over the years, in an attempt to increase their income. Complaints fall into three categories: "Pushy sales tactics have left many consumers paying a monthly bill for benefits that aren't suitable, and don't give them good value for money," said Hannah Maundrell, editor in chief of the comparison site money.co.uk. She estimates that the average fee on such accounts is £150 a year, so the compensation bill could be large. However, the Financial Ombudsman said the issue with packaged accounts was not "the new PPI scandal". It said many people had actually used the benefits. It also said that it was only upholding around 10% of complaints, as in many cases it agreed with the compensation already offered by the banks. But it advised customers to complain directly to their bank, rather than going through claims management companies, which currently handle 80% of the complaints received by the Ombudsman. The full list of complaints made to the Financial Ombudsman is here. Eamon Bradley, 28, originally from Melmore Gardens in Creggan, Londonderry, denies six charges. They include attending a rebel training camp in the Middle East war zone and receiving training in guns and grenades. The case at Londonderry Crown Court is the first of its kind in Northern Ireland. Mr Bradley is alleged to have committed the offences between 31 March and 29 October 2014. The "bedrock" of the prosecution case surrounds interviews Mr Bradley gave to police after he was arrested, upon his return home, over images of him apparently posing with guns posted on social media. He told a detective he was spirited into Syria from Turkey in a makeshift raft and joined the forces of a faction opposed to Syrian President Bashar Assad and Islamic State. Mr Bradley described being given months of training in using weapons before attending three battles as a junior soldier armed with a firearm and grenade. He denied firing a single bullet and returned home disillusioned after initially going to help the Syrian people. Sending the jury out at Londonderry Crown Court, a judge said Mr Bradley's defence had attempted to introduce doubts about the police interviews, centring on his apparent lack of knowledge about military matters and about the Army of Islam, which he said he joined. Prosecutors said he was not a fantasist and his account to police was the truth. Henry Ayabowei, known as Henry Esin, was found collapsed near a Bangor nightclub in the early hours of Saturday. The 27-year-old, from Llangefni, Anglesey, was taken to hospital, but died on Sunday morning. A man who was arrested has now been charged and will appear before Llandudno magistrates on Wednesday. Mr Ayabowei played football for a number of clubs on Anglesey and was described as a "true gentleman in every sense" by Llanfairpwll football club. Floral tributes to Mr Ayabowei have been left outside the Peep nightclub, close to the Brick Street-High Street junction where he was found. A post-mortem examination was also expected to be carried out on Tuesday, with family liaison officers supporting Mr Ayabowei's family. So many people in the city of Hamaden wanted a picture with Reza Parastesh that police took him to the station and impounded his car to stop the chaos. The fuss started a few months ago when the Messi lookalike's dad made him pose in a number 10 Barcelona shirt. The 25-year-old soon started cutting his hair and grooming his beard like the Argentina forward. He told AFP: "Now people really see me as the Iranian Messi and want me to mimic everything he does. When I show up somewhere, people are really shocked. "I'm really happy that seeing me makes them happy and this happiness gives me a lot of energy." Parastesh is fully booked with media interviews and has even landed modelling contracts. He also says that he is working on some football tricks so he can play the role better. Referee Mike Dean showed Feghouli a straight red card after the midfielder's 15th-minute challenge on Phil Jones. Replays showed it was more of a coming together between two players committed to winning the ball than a reckless tackle meant to cause harm. Antonio Valencia was guilty of an astonishing miss for the visitors before Juan Mata scored from 10 yards after a clever pass by fellow substitute Marcus Rashford. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was one of three players offside when he doubled the lead after Pedro Obiang's clearance fell to Ander Herrera. It was Jose Mourinho's side's sixth straight Premier League win and their seventh in all competitions. The Hammers have beaten Bournemouth, Sunderland, Burnley and Hull at home this season, yet their hopes of claiming a first major scalp at London Stadium were undone by the fastest sending off in the Premier League this season. There is no doubt Feghouli lost control of the ball and deserved a booking for his challenge on Jones. But Dean, who sent off Southampton's Nathan Redmond in the 4-1 defeat by Tottenham on Wednesday, brandished a red card for the fifth time this season, much to the fury of West Ham boss Slaven Bilic. Jones, who was clearly hurt and rolled over several times before receiving treatment, was booed by home fans for the rest of the game each time he touched the ball. Feghouli is now set to miss his side's FA Cup third-round home tie against Manchester City on Friday, while Hammers supporters showed their anger at the official by chanting 'Mike Dean - it's all about you'. In the second half, Dean kept his cards in his pocket after Cheikhou Kouyate's reckless challenge on Henrikh Mkhitaryan. This was far from vintage Manchester United, yet Mourinho's team started 2017 as they finished 2016 - with three points. They are now unbeaten in their past 13 games in all competitions, while they have taken 25 points from the last 33 on offer. Valencia will surely be haunted by his 36th-minute miss. It was a brilliant save by Darren Randolph to deny him from close range, but the Ecuador international should have buried the chance, as should Jesse Lingard, who hit the post with the follow-up. Mourinho's decisions to bring on Mata at the start of the second half and Rashford before the hour mark proved decisive. The pair combined to break West Ham's spirited resistance - the busy and menacing Rashford evading a couple of challenges before cutting back for Spaniard Mata to find the net. The 19-year-old England striker hit the post before Ibrahimovic, standing in an offside position, scored a controversial second to complete West Ham's misery. Beaten by Leicester City on Saturday, it has been a 48 hours to forget for West Ham in terms of results. However, they dug deep, displayed a steely resolve - and might even have got something from the game despite the visitors' extra-man advantage. David de Gea twice saved well from Manuel Lanzini, before Michail Antonio's glancing header flashed agonisingly wide as the Hammers threatened. And shortly before Mata broke the deadlock, Antonio found himself clean through after Lanzini's perfectly weighted pass, only for De Gea to block his effort. West Ham boss Bilic: "I was pleased with the performance, we fought hard and gave everything. I told my players that if we did this we will be all right in the table. "Ten men against a team like this is very hard - but we had chances. "I am disappointed with the result and frustrated by how we lost it, but I am proud of my players." Media playback is not supported on this device Manchester United manager Mourinho: "It was hard for us to think well with one more man - and it was very hard for them physically. "I was happy with my choices in Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford, they gave us what we needed. Rashford is very professional and very mature. He is a Manchester United player with Manchester United DNA. "I don't feel sorry for West Ham - I didn't watch the decisions. I think if you talk about decisions, we are the champions of bad decisions."

Being born in Switzerland does not guarantee citizenship and non-Swiss residents must typically wait 12 years before applying. Tests and government interviews are also required, which can be expensive. The new proposal will allow third-generation immigrants to avoid some of that bureaucracy. It will directly affect those born in Switzerland, whose parents and grandparents also lived in the country permanently. Supporters of the plan to simplify the process argue that it is ridiculous to ask people who were born and have lived all their lives in Switzerland to prove that they are integrated. However opponents suggest that the measures could lead to further steps that will eventually allow all non-Swiss residents - 25% of the population - to gain easy citizenship. An opposition poster, which features a woman in a burka, suggests that the new proposal could lead to a so-called "Islamisation" of the country. The current vetting procedure, aimed at ensuring that new citizens are well integrated, includes interviews carried out by town councils. Questions put to interviewees can include requests to name local cheeses or mountains. Those in favour of maintaining the current system also argue that the strict vetting rules make it superior to the more anonymous systems in neighbouring France and Germany. Over the past 30 years, three previous attempts to relax the rules have been defeated. This time, opinion polls suggest the vote on Sunday will be close. Big cities back the idea, while more conservative rural areas oppose it. BBC News NI examines the events that followed her disappearance in 1994. 14 August 1994: Fifteen year old Arlene Arkinson goes missing after attending a disco at Bundoran in Donegal. The Castlederg teenager was last seen in a car driven by Irish native Robert Lesarian Howard. 21 April 2001: South London teenager Hannah Williams goes missing during a shopping trip. 15 March 2002: Williams's badly decomposed body is discovered in an industrial area of Northfleet, Kent, beside the Thames estuary. 23 March 2002: Howard, a convicted sex offender who had known Williams since 1999, is arrested. October 2003: Howard is found guilty of raping and murdering the 14-year-old before dumping her body. He is sentenced to life imprisonment although the details of his conviction cannot be reported because he faces separate sex charges in Northern Ireland. He is jailed in County Durham, England. 27 June 2005: Howard, then 61, is found not guilty of murdering Arlene Arkinson. The prosecution had accused him of trying to conceal his movements on the night Arlene went missing and getting others to lie for him. The jury did not know that by then he was already serving life for raping and killing Hannah Williams. 20 September 2005: As reporting restrictions are lifted at Belfast Crown Court, it emerges that Howard's criminal record dates back 40 years. 20 September 2011: Howard wins permission to challenge the holding of an inquest into Arlene's death. His legal team claim the move involves an attempt to undermine the not guilty verdict returned against him. 6 February 2013: Senior Coroner John Leckey rules out holding a full inquest into the murder of Arlene Arkinson within the calendar year because of a strain on resources. 24 June 2015: The long-delayed inquest into Arlene's disappearance is again postponed until November 2015. 2 October 2015: Howard dies aged 71. He remains the only suspect in the murder of Arlene Arkinson. Former PSNI detective Alan McQuillan says chances were missed to save the lives of his victims. Despite 92 searches and a long-running missing persons investigation, Arlene's body has never been recovered. Grix, 31, was one of three Huddersfield players to suffer injuries during Friday's defeat at St Helens. He played 24 games for the Giants last season after a previous shoulder injury limited his appearances in 2014. "Everything you can imagine that's gone wrong with his shoulder has done," Anderson told BBC Radio Leeds. "He has had previous history with surgery on that shoulder and it will be a longer rehabilitation programme. We're looking at five months." Anderson also said club captain Danny Brough, who suffered a dead leg that led to him being substituted, and Eorl Crabtree (groin) will be out for a few weeks. "It's the first time in my history I've seen Danny in genuine pain," Anderson added. "He's a tough human being and he hates rehab, so he's giving them a tough time." The Exiles have given away 19 spot-kicks this campaign, more than any other side in League Two. That statistic has contributed to Newport finding themselves six points from safety. "We've not been unlucky, there's been mistakes. I will be drumming it home to the boys again," said Flynn. Of the 19 spot-kicks County have given away, 14 of them have been converted, often robbing the Welsh side of points. Most recently, Luton's Danny Hylton fired home from 12 yards on Tuesday night before Newport fought back for a point in their bid to avoid dropping out of the Football League. Caretaker boss Flynn said that while there had been some questionable decisions, it was a lack of care in their own box from his players that was contributing. "There's been a lot of silly fouls, there's been a few dubious decisions against us, but on the whole I think a lot of them have been penalties," said Flynn. "You can't dive in in the box, you can't pull shirts. You have to be so careful now, stand up, move you feet, make the striker do something extraordinary to get a shot off. "But it's done now, I can't change it. I'd love to change it, but we've given away too many penalties and it's cost us." Newport head to high-flying Portsmouth on Saturday looking to try to drag others into the relegation fight. The club brought in former Cardiff City manager Lennie Lawrence to act as 'first team management consultant' alongside Flynn. But, rather than feeling threatened by the appointment, fledgling manager Flynn said bringing 69-year-old Lawrence in had actually been his idea. "It was my idea so I obviously welcome him here," Flynn added. "I'm not arrogant. I know the things I need to improve on and I know what I'm good at. "If I can't learn from someone like Lenny then I am in the wrong game. "Against Luton, straight away, his advice was outstanding. His experience is invaluable." The soaring temperatures are part of a trend putting the world on track for the warmest year on record. Maximum temperatures were warmer than average across nearly the entire continent, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM). Nine of the warmest springs on record occurred since 2002, said BoM Manager of Climate Monitoring Karl Braganza. "Australia has been warming up, by about 0.9C since 1910," Dr Braganza told the BBC. Australian temperature records go back to 1910. "There were two really significant heat waves on the east [of Australia] and there were a couple of [heatwave] duration records," he said. A 13-day stretch of above-40C weather ended on 25 November in Longreach in north-west Queensland. It was some of the hottest weather in living memory for the Queensland town. "In the past couple of years, we have seen heatwaves starting earlier in the season," said Dr Braganza. Spring 2014 was the warmest on record for Australia for the second year running. Both mean temperatures and maximum temperatures were highest on record for the season. Spring rainfall for Australia as a whole was 34% below the long-term mean. In the Murray-Darling Basin, in the interior of south-eastern Australia, this spring was the equal tenth driest on record. The area is one of the most important agricultural areas in the country. Some of the hottest temperatures in November were recorded at Roxby Downs in South Australia with 46.1C, and in Richmond in NSW with 45.3C. "On 23 November, most of NSW was baking," said Dr Braganza. Johnny Russell's header gave the visitors a lead which lasted barely a minute as Jonathan Kodjia levelled. Bobby Reid scored from distance as City led at half-time, but Derby struck back shortly after the break. Craig Bryson levelled from 12 yards before Ince put his team ahead with a left-footed shot across goal. It is the first time Derby have won four successive league games since April 2014 and victory, combined with Cardiff City's defeat at Brentford, ensures they will finish the season inside the top six. Media playback is not supported on this device With three games remaining, Derby are level on points with fourth-placed Hull, who enjoyed a late victory over Reading and have a game in hand. Bristol City showed commitment throughout the match but it was an error-strewn performance. The defeat, plus MK Dons' draw at Sheffield Wednesday, means City still need a point to guarantee Championship survival. Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson: "I'm disappointed with the result and angry at the performance. We were naive tonight and didn't communicate as well as we needed to. "The players gave everything and the problem was our quality, not our attitude. "You can't make as many mistakes in succession as we did against a good side. That's me being honest." Derby head coach Darren Wassall: "That's four wins on the trot, the first time we have done that for two years. "Now we want to extend that run right through to the play-offs because it's important we go into the semi-finals in the best possible form. "It was the ideal result for us after trailing 2-1 at half time. We knew it would be tough because Bristol City have been in good form at home recently. "I'm delighted with the way the players responded in the second half. In the end we could have had more goals." New tax powers mean a new finance role, carved out from the vast array of things that John Swinney has been doing for the past nine years. That's one for Derek Mackay, who is highly rated by the First Minister. That will be important to determining the future direction of tax policy as income tax is devolved. He also gets the constitution brief, which obviously matters to SNP ministers and members. But as Mr Swinney remains deputy first minister, he will surely continue to have a role in that too. And Mr Swinney also takes in skills, which is a very significant part of what government can do about economic growth. What else can it do? Business bosses will tell you a crucial bit of government's role in the economy is to get the planning system working. That's not with the economy brief, of which Keith Brown is now in charge, but with a new portfolio called "communities, social security and equalities". Angela Constance has moved to that from education. Then there's transport. That seems to be split. The infrastructure spending bit falls into Mr Brown's new economy brief. But the less chunky bits of transport - from air routes to bus fares - appear to be for Fergus Ewing, which fits a bit oddly with his rural affairs role. Mr Ewing and his fishing and farming officials will also be pushing for wider and faster reach for "connectivity". Again, broadband is far from being only a rural issue. And for those with an interest in the rural economy, that too is going in different directions. The environment is a big deal for farmers and renewable energy developers. Land reform will continue to shake up country estates. They are now grouped with climate change under Roseanna Cunningham's charge. And tourism gets promoted to a special mention in a job description. It's now in with culture, tourism and external affairs, with Fiona Hyslop in charge. It's arguable whether tourism deserves special status, apart from the wider economy. It can help it by giving it special attention, and in this case, it clearly fits with the arts and overseas promotion. But there's more to tourism that fits with the economy, skills, connectivity, the environment and planning. If you're interested in tourism development, for instance, that means you'll have to speak to six cabinet ministers, as well as the finance minister and first minister. You probably won't have to deal with Michael Matheson at justice or Shona Robison at health. It would be best not to overstate this fractured business and economy portfolio. As Brian Taylor has pointed out, the configuration of jobs reflects priorities. And government priorities change. More significantly, the way the Scottish government's cabinet has worked under SNP management has been much less about departmental battling than it was before, and than it remains in Westminster. SNP ministers will tell you they're a close-knit bunch and not given to battling with each other. However, one factor that is getting closer to Westminster is the role of a finance minister, as tax-setter, purse-bearer, gate-keeper and progress-chaser. In governments around the world, that has a habit of gaining a lot of power at the expense of others. Media playback is not supported on this device The world champions' win in Wellington means they have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. New Zealand ran in four second-half tries, but Liam Williams and Jonathan Davies scored in a late Welsh flurry. "I was pleased we kept going until the end, I think it showed that we can play for 80 minutes," said Warburton. "It's just they are ruthless when you make a mistake." New Zealand took the game away from Wales in 14 second-half minutes with Ben Smith, Beauden Barrett, Waisake Naholo and Ardie Savea all crossing to score. Wales had led the first Test after an hour in Auckland only for Steve Hansen's side to score 21 unanswered points on their way to a 39-21 victory. Warburton had said before Saturday's game that Wales had a physical barrier to overcome against the All Blacks and admitted that keeping up with the pace of the game over 80 minutes was a significant challenge. He said New Zealand were able to think more clearly in the final 10 minutes because they were used to playing at such a high tempo. But in Wellington, it was Warren Gatland's side who finished on a high with Williams and Davies scoring late on to ensure Wales only lost by 14 points - the narrowest losing margin they have ever achieved against the All Blacks in New Zealand. Wales hooker Ken Owens commented: "We finished strongly which we didn't do last weekend, which we're pretty proud of." "One thing we spoke about behind the posts was not to go into our shells and just keep playing, keep plugging away and we got two tries in the end. I thought we played some decent stuff out there." Warburton, though, says Wales' late rally was no consolation as their losing streak against the All Blacks stretched to 28 games, with their last win coming in 1953. "We wanted to win that match and there was a great feeling at half-time, we physically felt good," he said. "But one or two or three mistakes gives three tries. There was that three-minute period where we gave away two tries and that was a huge swing and they really grew after that. "There's no psychological barrier to get over, it's just they're a damn good team and you've got to take your hat off to them. "When they had to score tries and capitalise on our mistakes, they did. They don't punish you with three points, it's normally seven." Wales face Hansen's side again in Dunedin on Saturday, 25 June and the New Zealand coach says his side will be better again next weekend after a powerful performance in Wellington. "It's only the second game of the season so you would [still] expect a lot of improvement," he said. "Whilst we improved, I think the Welsh team did as well. "We scored five good tries and anytime you do that in a Test match you've got to be reasonably happy with your attack play and we defended really, really well for long periods of time."

Media playback is not supported on this device McManus has had mental health problems since childhood but a chance encounter with rock climbing has revolutionised his approach to the illness. Jake tells us his story... 'You couldn't say that climbing has changed my life - it's done more than that' Back in 2012 I was in a heavily-medicated state to treat my severe psychotic depression. I had to have a nurse coming to check me every day otherwise I would have been admitted to hospital. While lying on the sofa one day I caught some of a TV interview with professional climber Alex Honnold. He was talking about fear and anxiety and I thought 'I understand that'. That brief interview led me to watching his film Alone on the Wall and there and then I decided to come off medication and learn to climb. If only it was that simple. Initially simply leaving the house wasn't easy. Through a wish to learn how to climb I managed to start working again and put a little money aside. I spent around six months parking outside climbing gyms and being too scared to go in to book a beginners' course. I was worried about a lack of fitness, my age, social anxiety and learning how do something new. I suppose my biggest fear was simply fitting in with all these athletic, super human-type people I'd been watching in videos. This was a huge mistake because in reality climbers come in all shapes, ages and sizes and most people who can walk up a flight of stairs can climb a route or even a mountain. There are climbers who are blind or with limbs missing - my mate GB paraclimber John Churcher has 3% tunnel vision and is deaf - he still climbs harder than me. All my previous insecurities are still there but now I know there are thousands of others who have the same emotions, maybe for different reasons, but the outcome is the same in many ways. Three days after finally going for it and climbing for the first time I had climbed a 150m ridge in Spain. I decided that I'd found something I knew was changing my life and that other people needed to know. A month later I started a blog called Climb Out - the first time I had ever told anyone apart from my wife and my doctors about my lifelong mental health problems. Two years later Climb Out is thriving and I spend up to 40 hours a week maintaining the site and answering emails from all over the UK, and the world. I think people use me as a bit of a metaphor - if that fat, old geezer can get to the top of stuff then maybe I can get out and do something. I have had emails from people who have mental health problems saying that they have read the website and it has led them to getting out and taking the dog for a walk for the first time in two years. People don't literally have to climb out - it is about encouraging people to do something to get out because being active can have a really positive impact on mental health. My wife also climbs and has got a community of friends through climbing. She's lost three stone, goes to the gym a lot and is a lot more active. The youngest of my two sons also climbs with us. It is an all-consuming sport that really helps with mental health problems. When you are climbing you are using all points of your body - you instantly focus on the task in hand because falling is a pretty real fear for most people. Climbing isn't a cure. In October 2013 I was severely delusional and in a bad way. The doctor recommended hospital but I chose to go off and climb in Spain instead. Climbing has given me that outlet that I didn't have before. Hearing other people's stories through Climb Out and answering emails is a very therapeutic thing for me. I am looking at expanding it so that it is a nationwide community for people to be open about their mental health and be mentored by each other. Without climbing I think I would still be heavily medicated - there was no way out for me at that time. Financially we were getting in serious trouble because I was self-employed and not able to work. Three years later I am off medication. Myself and my family have loads of friends through the sport and a growing online community encouraging people with mental health issues to Climb Out. I am hoping to climb on the Matterhorn in Austria this year. Next year I'll be the overweight geezer in a group climbing some ridges in Patagonia that have never been climbed before. A far cry from my sofa in Wigan." Jake McManus was talking to BBC Get Inspired's Tom Reynolds

Exercise can have a positive impact on mental health as Jake McManus, a 42-year-old self-employed electrician from Wigan, knows only too well.

Internal documents also reveal that many of the officers who will receive the increase were already receiving allowances of £4,000. The details were not included when the pay rise was announced by Justice Secretary Liz Truss. Officials deny they have given out any inaccurate or misleading information. When the announcement of the new allowances was made, the Ministry of Justice said it would apply to "Band 3" front-line prison officers in 31 jails where it had been hard to recruit and retain staff. The jails are in London and south-east England, and include Bedford, Belmarsh, Brixton, Chelmsford, Feltham, Pentonville, Wandsworth, Whitemoor and Wormwood Scrubs. The Prison Officers Association said at the time that although it welcomed any additional pay for its members, it was a "divisive" decision because it "ignored" many other grades of staff. The department said "thousands" would get an "immediate" pay boost. But an internal briefing note seen by the BBC reveals that the number benefiting immediately is 1,617 prison officers out of more than 30,742 staff working in public-sector prisons - 5.26% of the workforce. The document also reveals that the new allowances, worth £3,000 in some jails and £5,000 in others, replace existing payments of £2,500 and £4,000. When the rises were announced, the Ministry of Justice did not disclose how much the current payments were worth, saying only that the new allowances replaced "existing pay increments". Its decision to leave out important details may have led to the impression that the pay increase was more widespread and substantial than it really was. In March, Ms Truss's department was heavily criticised by Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, for its handling of an announcement to extend a programme to allow vulnerable witnesses to be cross-examined before a trial. Lord Thomas said there had been a "complete failure" by the ministry to understand the practical difficulties of extending the scheme, saying judges had to correct a "serious misapprehension" about the roll-out. The Ministry of Justice has not issued an official statement in response to the latest disclosures, but officials said its February press release did not contain anything that was factually incorrect or misleading, and pointed out that staff joining the 31 prisons would also be entitled to the payments. The document said about 2,400 new prison officers, who are expected to join the selected jails during 2017-18, would be eligible to receive the allowances which will be available annually at least until March 2021. As part of other changes, Band 3 prison officers at the jails will be paid from the "midpoint" of their pay range. It means they can expect to earn between £26,456 to £31,453, including the allowances, as a "minimum". Cafwyd hyd i Matthew Williams, 34, yn ymosod ar Cerys Yemm, 22, yng ngwesty'r Sirhowy Arms yn Argoed, Sir Caerffili ar 6 Tachwedd 2014. Cafodd Mr Williams ei saethu gyda gwn Taser gan swyddogion ddaeth i'w arestio, a bu farw'n ddiweddarach. Dywedodd Mandy Miles, perchennog y Sirhowy Arms, wrth y gwrandawiad fod "gwaed ym mhobman" a bod yr olygfa "fel rhywbeth o ffilm arswyd". Ar y pryd, dywedodd Ms Miles mewn galwad 999 ei bod yn credu fod Williams yn bwyta Miss Yemm, ond dywedodd wrth y cwest ei bod hi'n gwybod bellach nad oedd hynny'n wir. Dywedodd: "Roedd ei ben i lawr wrth ei phen hi. Wnaeth e ddim ymateb i'n llais i. Dywedais 'Matthew beth wyt ti'n wneud?'. "Dywedodd fy mab, 'Wyt ti'n ei bwyta hi?'. Er bod gwyddoniaeth yn dangos nad oedd e'n gwneud hynny - yn fy meddwl i, dyna roedd e'n wneud." Ychwanegodd: "Roedd yna weiddi o'r ystafell wedi i swyddogion yr heddlu fynd i mewn yno. Roedden nhw'n gweiddi 'cer i lawr'. "Rwy'n credu fod Matthew wedi ceisio dianc. Petai e wedi dianc, fe allai fod wedi lladd pawb." Yn gynharach clywodd y cwest dystiolaeth gan fam Mr Williams, a ddywedodd nad oedd ei mab wedi cael unrhyw gymorth i'w broblemau iechyd meddwl. Dywedodd Sally Ann Williams mewn datganiad fod ei mab wedi dioddef o broblemau iechyd meddwl ers ei fod yn ei arddegau, a'i fod yn cymryd cyffuriau ac mewn trafferth â'r heddlu yn aml. "Doedd e ddim y math o berson fyddech chi am ei groesi," meddai. Dywedodd nad oedd hi'n credu mai carchar oedd y lle gorau i'w mab, a bod angen iddo fod yn rhywle lle y byddai'n cael gofal i'w broblemau. Ychwanegodd Mrs Williams nad oedd ei mab wedi cael "unrhyw gefnogaeth o gwbl" wedi iddo gael ei ryddhau o'r carchar bythfenos cyn y marwolaethau, a bod y ddau wedi methu yn eu hymgeision i sicrhau apwyntiadau i weld meddyg a thîm iechyd meddwl. Clywodd y cwest hefyd gan Rhodri Moore, ffrind i Matthew Williams, oedd wedi bod yn yfed a smocio canabis gyda Williams a Cerys Yemm yn yr oriau cyn ei marwolaeth, a ddywedodd ei fod yn gallu gweld nad oedd Williams yn ei iawn bwyll. "Roedd e'n dweud wrth ei fam, 'dwi angen help', roeddwn i'n gallu dweud nad oedd pethau'n iawn gyda fe," meddai. Roedd Mr Williams hefyd wedi bod yn gweld wynebau mewn caniau diodydd meddal, meddai, ac yn gweld drychiolaethau. Ychwanegodd Mr Moore bod Matthew Williams a Cerys Yemm wedi bod yn treulio amser gyda'i gilydd yn y dyddiau cyn eu marwolaethau a bod nhw'n "fflyrtio", ond nad oedd unrhyw arwydd o drais tuag at Ms Yemm. Mr Brown said a "No" vote would be the "starting gun" for Holyrood to be handed greater control over finance, welfare and taxation. It is understood the three main Westminster parties will formally back Mr Brown's proposals on Tuesday. The SNP has said the "No" campaign is in a state of "absolute panic". A Downing Street spokesman said of Mr Brown's announcement: "We welcome this Labour initiative and we are content with the proposed timetable". On Sunday, Chancellor George Osborne pledged to set out a "plan of action" on the implementation of new powers. It came in the wake of a YouGov poll which gave the pro-independence campaign a narrow lead for the first time in the campaign ahead of the referendum on 18 September. In other developments: Mr Brown formally unveiled his proposed timetable for those new powers, in a speech at the Loanhead Miners Welfare and Social Club in Midlothian on Monday evening: Despite the apparent momentum building behind the Yes campaign, Downing Street insists there will be no change of strategy, no surge of announcements, no rush of ministerial visits. Instead, the UK government intends to stick doggedly to its core strategy of warning about the economic dangers of separation and doubts about a future Scottish currency. No 10 hopes this, coupled with the promise of more powers for Scotland, will be enough to save the Union. But among MPs on all sides, there is mounting anxiety. One senior Tory told me it was "typical last-minute panic from Cameron and Osborne". Anxiety centres on what is seen as a lack of passion and a call for Mr Cameron to inject more emotion into the case for the union, to talk less about sterling and more about family and values. There are also demands for the prime minister to show more urgency, to sweep aside the rest of his diary and to focus solely on Scotland. As for Ed Miliband, there are similar worries that he has failed to shore up the Labour vote and made little impact in its Scottish heartlands. In short, leaders may not be panicking just yet but there are plenty of their MPs who are already deeply fearful that the break-up of the union may be just 10 days away. Mr Brown went on to restate what new powers Labour would be pushing for, in 12 policy areas. They included the option of a non-profit making railway company and devolving powers over the work programme and housing benefit. He said: "There never again could be a bedroom tax imposed by Westminster on Scotland because we would give the power to set housing benefit to the Labour people and everyone else who is in the Scottish parliament. "These are big changes that we are proposing. To strengthen the Scottish Parliament but at the same to stay as part of the United Kingdom for pensions, for social security for funding out health service, for the currency, interest rates, the economy, defence and security." A Downing Street source earlier said Mr Brown's timetable was "not a million miles away from our thinking" while another added: "This is in line with the fruits of the cross-party discussions." The poll by YouGov in The Sunday Times at the weekend has led to an "intensifying debate on how to react", according to a very senior business figure close to this debate I spoke to this morning. Two banking sources have also revealed that bank branches north of the border have started holding more cash at branches, in case members of the public decide they want to take out their money. That is how seriously the banks themselves, and the Bank of England (which has been informed about this cash move), are taking the possibility of a Yes vote on 18 September. Let's be clear. There appears to be no evidence yet of "deposit flight" - people moving money to English domiciled banks. And sources have said that moving some additional cash to branches is often a reaction to electorally volatile situations - a close general election, for example. But financial institutions are preparing for all eventualities with movements of cash (a very small percentage of the liquidity they hold) and short-term buffer arrangements, should the need arise. Read more from Kamal Speaking ahead of Mr Brown's announcement, Alistair Darling, the head of the pro-UK Better Together campaign, stressed that no new powers would be put on the table beyond those already announced by the three main Westminster parties earlier this year. He added: "The additional powers coming to the Scottish Parliament were announced by the party leaders, north and south of the border, some time ago. "People have said, 'Yes we want to know the timetable and the process' and that is something the government is going to announce this week. "But remember this, this is a referendum on whether or not we stay on the United Kingdom. It is not a referendum on what further powers we are going to get. We are going to get them anyway, if we stay in the United Kingdom. Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said plans to increase the powers of the devolved Edinburgh parliament were a "panicky measure" announced without credibility, because the Yes Scotland campaign for independence was "winning on the ground". Speaking on behalf of Yes Scotland, former Scottish Labour Party chairman and Labour for Independence campaigner Bob Thomson said: "This smacks of utter panic and desperation by the 'No' campaign as they lose their lead in the polls. "Gordon Brown is in no position to offer anything - he is a backbench MP, and the Tories are in power at Westminster. "The choice is to vote Yes for all the powers we need to create jobs and protect Scotland's NHS - or No for a Tory-led talking shop. "The people of Scotland will not trust the Tories to deliver powers that in any event fall far short of what we need. The sure fire way to achieve the full range of powers Scotland needs to build a fairer society and more prosperous economy is to vote Yes a week on Thursday." What are the No parties offering? As the people of Scotland weigh up how to vote in the independence referendum, they are asking questions on a range of topics. But what issues are important?

Labour leader Ed Miliband is to welcome Gordon Brown's proposals in a speech at a TUC dinner later. Arriving at the event in Liverpool, he said many trade unions were campaigning for a No vote for "solidarity and social justice". He insisted Labour would deliver the timetable outlined by Mr Brown if elected to government in May 2015. "Voting No in this referendum is not a vote for no change, we will deliver change, we are determined to deliver change," Mr Miliband added. "Change for greater social justice for Scotland but also change for greater devolution to Scotland. We know things need to change and a No vote will deliver that change." African football body Caf says the Harare event, which Zimbabwe FA boss Phillip Chiyangwa says is a birthday party, is a bid to 'destabilise Caf.' Long-standing Caf president Issa Hayatou has not been invited. "When you do your party, invitations are sent at your own discretion," said event organiser Chamu Chiwanza. "I'm not saying he's not close to the Caf president but if you're not friends, why would you invite them just because they have a position?" Chiwanza, the chair of Zimbabwe's Affirmative Action Group, is head of the organising committee for this event. The function is officially to celebrate Chiyangwa's 58th birthday and his unexpected appointment as president of the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (Cosafa) in December. However, some claim the gathering is a platform to bolster support for Madagascar FA head Ahmad, who takes on Hayatou in next month's Caf presidential elections. The Malagasy is seen as the most serious challenger to the Cameroonian, who took charge of Caf in 1988, for many years. Some 24 heads of African football associations are expected for the event hosted by Chiyangwa, Ahmad's campaign manager. Earlier this month, Cosafa pledged its support for the Malagasy ahead of the 16 March elections in Addis Ababa. Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick, who will also be in Harare, has already told the BBC he will vote for Ahmad as well. That theoretically accounts for 15 votes, with a total of 28 needed to unseat Hayatou. Caf warned Chiyangwa not to hold the gathering, insisting that he is not allowed to discuss football matters with leaders outside the Cosafa region. "Rest assured there is not going to be any meeting to discuss crucial football matters with the Fifa president - it's about celebrations," said event organiser Chamu Chiwanza. "Phillip is known for doing extraordinary things. He brought Michael Jackson to Zimbabwe in 1998 and who knows, maybe even Donald Trump will be part of the delegation next year!" Also attending the Harare event is Fifa secretary general Fatma Samoura - the second-most powerful person in world football - and several business people, including South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe. Infantino will arrive in Zimbabwe on Thursday evening prior to departing for Uganda on Friday night. Derrick, 53, is still undergoing medical treatment after surgery for a brain tumour. "John has been involved in cricket for more than 35 years so it is a very easy phone call for us to make asking people to support him" said ex Glamorgan player Mike Powell. It is hoped the funds will help Derrick adapt his house. Powell is working alongside county chief executive Hugh Morris, Professional Cricketers' Association official Ian Thomas and current wicket-keeper Mark Wallace, the former chairman of the PCA. The four are organising a major dinner at the SSE Swalec Stadium on December 8, with former England spinner and national selector Geoff Miller speaking free of charge. The PCA has already started to help Derrick. "John has been my coach since I was ten. He was a bit of father figure throughout my career," said Powell. "If it wasn't for John I would definitely not have played first-class cricket, so I owe my career to him. "We said that we would raise as much our end to marry up with what the PCA Benevolent Fund was doing. We got our heads together and decided to do a dinner for John." Derrick played for Glamorgan from 1983 to 1991 and coached them to National League titles in 2002 and 2004. He is currently performance manager of the Cricket Board of Wales and has continued to play at club level, but was taken ill in August 2016. He did stints on BBC Wales commentaries earlier in the summer. A JustGiving page has also been set up so that those who cannot attend the dinner can donate. "It's been very humbling to see Welsh cricket pulling in tight when we have needed it" added Powell. "Cricket clubs around Glamorgan have been phenomenal. A lot of them have taken a table at the dinner, which shows how much John is loved in this part of the world." About 45 of the 297 pupils and four teachers at Holy Family Primary School have been struck down by the virus, which can cause diarrhoea and vomiting. Head teacher Karen Bathe said the decision to close had "not been taken lightly" but they had to "contain the outbreak as much as possible". The school is due to reopen on Monday following a "thorough deep clean of the premises". "This morning, there were a greater-than-normal number of children poorly and, as the morning progressed, more and more children were being ill and having to be sent home," said Ms Bathe. "Closing a school is a very important decision, however I feel, after advice from Environmental Health, that this warrants it." Gastroenteritis is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contact with an infected person or contaminated food and drink. Symptoms can include vomiting, fever and stomach ache. Shanay Walker's aunt and grandmother were jailed for child cruelty in 2015. Coroner Mairin Casey told Nottingham Coroner's Court "information was withheld" months before she died. It is thought at least 10 safeguarding referrals were made about Shanay. A post-mortem report showed she had more than 50 injuries to her body. Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire Mrs Casey said: "There is evidence that information was withheld from the local authority in the months before she died. "Communication channels failed miserably between the school, local authority and health professionals." Dr Emma Fillmore, a consultant paediatrician told the inquest she had no contact with the seven-year-old, but gave an overview of the case. She said, given the evidence of her injuries, all the professionals involved should have met to discuss it and that such a meeting would happen now. Lisa Hyland, of Southglade Primary School, said she had suspicions someone was "deliberately causing injuries" to Shanay, the inquest had heard. The assistant head teacher, who taught Shanay a year before her death, said she reported her concerns on six occasions. A trial at Nottingham Crown Court heard Shanay was placed in her aunt Kay-Ann Morris's care after her mother, Leanne Walker, suffered post-natal depression. Shanay died of a brain injury at a house in Nottingham while in the care of Morris in July 2014. Morris, of Beckhampton Road, was cleared of murder but both she and grandmother Juanila Smikle were convicted of "about the worst case" of child cruelty. Morris was jailed for eight years. Smikle, of Easegill Court, was found guilty of cruelty at a retrial and was sentenced to seven years in prison. The inquest continues. Google Maps now refers to the reef by its international name, Scarborough Shoal. Previously, the area was also named as part of the Zhongsha Islands. Both China and the Philippines claim the shoal and its rich fishing grounds. The Philippines has filed a case against China's claims at a UN tribunal - but Beijing has refused to take part. Google Maps removed the Chinese name from the reef following an online petition that said the name gave credence to China's claims to the shoal, known as Huangyan Island by China and Panatag Shoal by the Philippines. Scarborough Shoal was the scene of a tense stand-off between the Philippines and China in early 2012, when vessels from the two countries refused to leave the area for a number of weeks. "We understand that geographic names can raise deep emotions which is why we worked quickly once this was brought to our attention," Google said in a statement emailed to the BBC. Google's policy on disputed regions say that it considers "guidance from authoritative references, local laws and local market expectations", and strives to include "all points of view where there are conflicting claims". China claims ownership of large parts of the South China Sea, including the Scarborough Shoal, which lie a little more than 100 miles (160km) from the Philippines and 500 miles from China, and the Spratly Islands. Last week, a United Nations tribunal in the Hague began deliberations on whether it can hear a legal challenge over territorial claims in the South China Sea. The Philippines filed the case at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2013, but China has refused to take part in the proceedings. Even if the Philippines is successful in its attempts to pursue China at the UN tribunal, China would not be obliged to abide by the ruling. Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said on Tuesday that China "will never accept the unilateral attempts to turn to a third party to solve the disputes", and urged the Philippines to negotiate with China directly. Aside from the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan also have competing claims with China over various islands, reefs and shoals in the region. The Department of Commerce said it will impose tariffs of between 14.78% to 15.97% on Chinese firms. This compares with an earlier level of between 2.9% and 4.73% it announced in March. China has criticised the move saying it will hurt trade relations and will provoke trade friction. "The US is provoking trade friction in the new energy sector, and sending a negative signal to the world that stirs global trade protectionism and obstructs the sector's development," Shen Danyang, spokesman for China's Commerce Ministry was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency. The export of solar cells and solar panels has been a contentious issue between the US and China. The US-based manufacturers of these products have alleged that government subsidies provided to Chinese firms have helped them cut their prices and flood the market with cheap products. In its latest report, the Department of Commerce concluded that Chinese firms were selling products in the US at rates below fair value, a practice know as "dumping". It said it would levy anti-dumping duties against these firms. However, the department added that it would issue the orders for the anti-subsidy tariffs and anti-dumping duties once the US International Trade Commission (ITC) affirmed that these practices were hurting US firms. The ITC is expected to announce its decision on the matter by 23 November. Timothy Brightbill, a legal representative for SolarWorld Industries Americas, one of the firms that has been the most vocal opponent of Chinese companies, said it would keep up the pressure on authorities to implement strict measures. "In our view, all Chinese cells and all Chinese modules are dumped and subsidised," he said. Media playback is not supported on this device British hopes were ended when Thomas crashed on the final descent, after Froome and Adam Yates had failed to stay with the leaders. Thomas still finished the race as the best-placed British rider, in 11th. Froome, who was 12th, goes for gold again in Wednesday's time trial, hoping to better his bronze at London 2012. A thrilling finish saw Van Avermaet win the sprint to the line, leaving Denmark's Jakob Fuglsang to take silver and Poland's Rafal Majka bronze. Yates came home in 15th while the other British riders, Ian Stannard and Steve Cummings, did not finish. Media playback is not supported on this device Before the race Froome had described the picturesque 237.5km road-race route as the most brutal course in Olympic history, but the three-time Tour de France winner's challenge did not falter until the final 20km. By then, fewer than 40 of the 144 starters were left in contention after almost six hours of racing but Britain's riders remained well placed, with Thomas part of a six-man lead group that had opened up a 30-second gap on what was left of the peloton. Froome and Adam Yates were back in that pack along with pre-race favourites Alejandro Valverde of Spain and Italy's Vincenzo Nibali, who was waiting to make his move. It came on the penultimate descent of Vista Chinesa when Nibali bridged the gap. Yates got across too but was dropped early on the final set of ascents when the race completely split and Froome was left with too much work to do. Thomas was left as Britain's last chance of a medal but did not have the legs to stay with the three leaders - Nibali, Colombia's Team Sky rider Sergio Henao and Majka. That trio looked set to contest the medals until the final descent when Nibali and Henao both crashed out, with Thomas sliding off the road soon afterwards. Majka was left clear but could not hold off Fuglsang or Van Avermaet, who won the sprint to the line along the Copacabana. "Crazy day out there today! Team GB were amazing all day. So gutted for Geraint Thomas crashing when he did," Froome tweeted. Thomas also tweeted: "Thanks for all the messages guys. Gutted to end like that, with it all the play for!!!" Three of Britain's five riders were involved at the front of the race until almost the very end and the other two, Stannard and then Cummings, had sacrificed their individual chances to haul in an early breakaway. Olympic gold medallist and BBC cycling co-commentator Chris Boardman said: "We did not win a medal because ultimately we did not have the legs for it but, tactically, that was the best Olympic road race I have seen from the British team, so hats off to them. "They gave themselves plenty of options rather than concentrating on one rider, and used them superbly. All five rode a tough course fantastically well and I was really impressed by how they managed their resources. "Thomas did a phenomenal job, the whole team did. Britain's best rider was expected to be Froome but for me Thomas would have been the better sprinter if it had come to that." British coach Rod Ellingworth said: "Looking at Geraint there he was proper, proper disappointed. He knew that was a proper gold medal chance. "He's all right. He's fallen heavy, he's got plenty of skin off, but he's okay, I think. "I knew from the test event that descent was going to perhaps be a deciding factor in the race. And it was. "When you think about how many riders crashed round there it was pretty mad really." Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. The Apple 1 was one of the first 50 built by Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in Jobs' parents' garage. The computer - consisting only of a motherboard, signed by Mr Wozniak - went to an anonymous buyer from Asia. Last year, an Apple 1 sold for 490,000 euros (£418,000; $633,000). Only about 200 Apple 1s were ever made. About 46 remain in existence, but only six of those are still in working order. Bob Luther, author of The First Apple, called the Apple 1 the "holy grail of collectable technology". The one sold at auction in the German city of Cologne on Saturday was purchased together with an original monitor, tape-player and keyboard. The documentation was signed by Steve Jobs. Tydfil Jenkins, 80, was pronounced dead at the scene after the crash on Bethania Street in Maesteg, just after 17:00 GMT on Tuesday. The driver of a black Renault Clio was arrested on suspicion of causing death by driving without due care and attention while unfit through drugs and without a licence and insurance. The man, 34, remains in custody. The military has been in charge since a coup last year and an election was expected in the middle of 2016. But a constitution re-drafted after the takeover is now to be put to the public. Meanwhile, Yingluck Shinawatra, forced to step down as PM before the coup, is on trial on charges of negligence. Thailand has seen almost a decade of divisive political conflict. The military had ruled out a referendum, planning instead to seek opinion from a thousand selected respondents in each of Thailand's 77 provinces. But a referendum has now been agreed. Before it can take place a committee meeting on 6 August needs to approve the draft constitution. Once that has happened it will be at least three to six months before the referendum can take place, partly because 47 million copies of the constitution will need to be distributed to the public. That could mean no election until the second half of 2016. The draft constitution's contentious elements include: Critics say the constitution is aimed at preventing the return of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra who was ousted in 2006, after being accused of corruption. He now lives in self-imposed exile. Thailand's Constitutional Court forced his sister Ms Yingluck from office in early May 2014 after finding her guilty of abusing her power. Weeks later, the military seized power saying it needed to restore order following months of street protests. The Shinawatras, or parties allied to them, have won every Thai election since 2001. Their opponents accuse them of cronyism, corruption and financially ruinous policies. Meanwhile, Ms Yingluck's trial on charges of dereliction of duty over her role in a controversial rice subsidy scheme has started. She pleaded not guilty. The scheme paid rice famers in rural areas - where her party has most of its support - twice the market rate for their crop, in a programme that cost the government billions of dollars. Ms Yingluck says she was not involved in the scheme's day-to-day operations and has defended it as an attempt to support the rural poor. In January, she was retroactively impeached for her role in the scheme. She was also banned from politics for five years. She told crowds outside the court in Bangkok she would prove her innocence. Ms Yingluck maintains the charges she faces are intended to keep her out of politics. The next hearing in the trial has been scheduled for 21 July. Her brother, Mr Shinawatra made a rare public appearance in South Korea earlier saying he believed "democracy will prevail" in Thailand. In a decision that has caused outrage among Jewish and Muslim groups, the court said that a child's right to physical integrity trumps religious and parental rights. The case involved a doctor who carried out a circumcision on a four year-old that led to medical complications. Thousands of Muslim and Jewish boys are circumcised in Germany every year. Although male circumcision - unlike female circumcision - is not illegal in Germany, the court's judgement said the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents". Circumcision, it decided, contravenes "interests of the child to decide later in life on his religious beliefs". The doctor involved in the case was acquitted and the ruling is not binding, but correspondents say it sets a precedent that would be taken into account by other German courts. The president of Germany's Central Council of Jews, Dieter Graumann, called it "an unprecedented and dramatic intervention in the right of religious communities to self-determination". He urged the country's parliament to clarify the legal situation "to protect religious freedom against attacks". Male circumcision is part of the ancient religious rituals of both the Jewish and Muslim faiths, as well as the traditions of some tribal groups. In some countries, such as the United States, it is also not uncommon for parents to request that young boys are circumcised for health reasons. The BBC's Stephen Evans in Germany says it is unclear what the next legal step will be, but this issue is a moral and political minefield. But could the spring perennial hold the key to future antibacterial, antiparasitic and anti-cancer treatments? Daffodils have already provided a compound used in an Alzheimer's disease drug, galantamine. BBC Wales spoke to scientists at Bangor University who are now trying to isolate more disease-fighting compounds from the nation's favourite bulb. Dr Patrick Murphy, an organic chemist, said his work with daffodils tends to generate more public interest than some of his other research areas. "I think people can relate to daffodils. Everybody has seen daffodils growing in the spring," he said. "My other areas of research are working on natural products isolated from marine sources, so sponges and bacteria, and I think these might appear less attractive." The daffodil was introduced as an emblem of Wales in the 19th Century and popularised by Prime Minister David Lloyd George. The flower, which is often worn on St David's Day, is also commercially grown in mid Wales. Dr Murphy and his team are hoping to isolate compounds called alkaloids in the flower for medical purposes. He said: "The alkaloids people might know of tend to be the ones that have a powerful spectrum of activity within humans, for example, alkaloids such as caffeine (tea/coffee), nicotine (tobacco) or morphine (poppies). "We're interested in alkaloids from daffodils and one quite well-known one is galantamine. This is a compound which has been isolated previously and used for treatment of early-stage Alzheimer's disease. "We're interested in, not just this compound, but other compounds, which have not been exploited to a wide range because of a lack of available amounts of them. "So, we hope to isolate larger amounts of these alkaloids for use in biological-activity studies." The problem is it can often be quite difficult to isolate the compounds without impurities arising during the process. "But we've found a relatively straight-forward way of doing it without involving too much expense," Dr Murphy said. "That's often the sticking point, keeping the costs down to a minimum. So, we're quite pleased with where we are at the moment." The team is looking at compounds from a common variety of the classic yellow daffodil sold in supermarkets. Dr Murphy said: "There is a reliable variety that produces the major compound of interest. What we're trying to do is to take the waste from the our commercial partner's galantamine production and to actually get something from the waste rather than throwing it away." But how close is the team's work to creating a viable treatment? "That's a bit of a long way in the distance - it takes a long time to develop a compound from isolation to use in humans," Dr Murphy explained. "But it would be interesting to isolate these compounds and to test them for ranges of activity such as antibacterial activity, antiparasitic activity and various other disease, possibly antiviral [or] anti-cancer activities." Kittel finished ahead of compatriot John Degenkolb, with Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen third on Tuesday's 178km stage from Perigueux to Bergerac. It was the 29-year-old's 13th Tour stage win, taking him one ahead of Erik Zabel's German record of 12. Froome claimed his 50th yellow jersey. French pair Elie Gesbert and Yoann Offredo launched an early break, but their lead of more than five minutes was reined in with a little under 7km to go. Kittel's power in the bunch sprint could not be matched, as the Quick-Step Floors rider beat Degenkolb by more than a bike length to extend his lead in the points classification. Degenkolb said after the stage that Kittel was from "another planet" and he certainly seems peerless in the race this year, winning four of the five bunch sprints he has contested. Kittel found the wheel of Britain's Dan McLay close to the finish and catapulted beyond his rivals with such ease that he was able to raise his arms in victory salute as he crossed the line. The 29-year-old also won four stages in 2013 and 2014 but looks well placed to beat his previous best - and could even achieve that on Wednesday with another sprint finish expected at the end of the road to Pau. Mark Cavendish, who crashed out of this year's race after tangling with Peter Sagan, won six stages in 2009 and it is very possible that Kittel could at least equal that tally given he has also won twice previously on the Champs Elysees in Paris. "I can't really believe it," Kittel told ITV4. "To win four in one Tour, it is super nice. I'm really, really happy. "I feel like I live in a small little bubble in a small little world and it cannot be true." The victory for Kittel saw him extend his lead at the top of the sprinters' green jersey standing to 102 points over Australia's Michael Matthews. The race resumed on Tuesday after the rest day and it was arguably the most pedestrian and incident-free stage so far. Froome could be seen happily chatting to other riders as the main group criss-crossed the Dordogne on the road to Bergerac and there were no alarms for the Team Sky rider, who ended by claiming the 50th yellow jersey of his career after finishing in the bunch. "It was quite relaxed as far as Tour de France flat stages go," said Froome. "It is another day out of the way." There was no change at the top of the general classification standings. Briton Simon Yates retains the white jersey worn by the best rider under 25 and Frenchman Warren Barguil kept the King of the Mountains polka dot jersey. The Pyrenees loom on the horizon - the race gets there on Thursday - but it should be another day for a bunch sprint on Wednesday. The stage takes us 203.5km from Eymet to Pau and with one intermediate sprint and one category four climb. Would anyone bet against another win for Kittel right now?

Other films which have appeared online include American Sniper and Selma. The site said, according to its sources, the high-quality 'screeners' seemed to come from three sources. Some of the films have yet to be released in both the UK and US. Big Eyes, Into The Woods and Unbroken are also believed to have been leaked online.

IS circulated video footage showing militants blowing up or smashing up monuments and artefacts last year. Government forces recaptured Nimrud as part of a wider assault on Mosul, the last major IS stronghold in Iraq. A senior source in the Iraqi military's Nineveh Operations command reported significant advances around the city on Tuesday. Warplanes bombed IS positions in Mosul's airport, on the southern outskirts, as units of elite Rapid Response Division encircled the nearby village of Albu Saif. Counter-Terrorism Service personnel meanwhile fought fierce battles with IS militants in the eastern district of Qadisiya al-Thaniya, according to the source. The city of Nimrud, about 32km (20 miles) south of Mosul, was founded more than 3,300 years ago. Then known as Kalhu, it was a capital of the Assyrian empire. The site covered some 3.5 sq km (1.35 sq miles) and included a prominent "citadel" mound, the palaces and tombs of Assyrian kings, temples to their gods, colossal statues depicting lions and winged bulls, and widely revered frescos. IS militants captured Nimrud in June 2014, shortly after they overran Mosul, routing the Iraqi army. In March 2015, the Iraqi tourism ministry reported that militants had used bulldozers and other heavy vehicles to vandalise the site. A month later, IS published a video showing militants smashing statues and frescos with sledgehammers before blowing up much of what remained. On Tuesday, a pro-government tribal militia commander visiting the site for the first time in two years told the AFP news agency: "When you came here before, you could imagine the life as it used to be. Now there is nothing." "One hundred percent has been destroyed," Ali al-Bayati added. "Losing Nimrud is more painful to me than even losing my own house." The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) described the destruction of Nimrud last year as a "war crime", saying IS was "clearly determined to wipe out all traces of the history of Iraq's people". The jihadist group has denounced pre-Islamic art and architecture as idolatrous, and has destroyed several other ancient sites in Iraq and neighbouring Syria. The incident resulted in a 26-year-old man sustaining a serious injury in the West Lothian town's King Street on 13 December. The victim is being treated in hospital. The arrested man is expected to appear at Livingston Sheriff Court on Friday. At a stroke, the Foreign Office has lost its two main levers of control over the World Service - its budget (currently £272m or $428m a year) and its services (that is, what countries it broadcasts to and in what format). Details of the deal have yet to be announced, though the Foreign Office is expected to retain a veto over the closure of any of the BBC's language services. However, it is highly unlikely that the Foreign Office wanted any of these changes. They seem to have been driven by spending cuts. Only in July, Foreign Secretary William Hague was trumpeting the value of the BBC World Service in a speech about the importance of "networking" in the modern world. He spoke of "the essential importance of the work of the British Council and the BBC World Service, which give Britain an unrivalled platform for the projection of the appeal of our culture and the sharing of our values". Of course the BBC will carry on doing this work anyway and there will be some who will welcome the cutting of the link with the Foreign Office. It was always a curiously British arrangement that the Foreign Office would pay and the BBC would produce, but not everyone understood or accepted that. Now at least, the BBC World Service can argue that it is more independent than it was. It will not be totally so because it is the British government which sets the level of overall funding for the BBC through the application of a levy on television sets. It is still open for critics to repeat the phrase that irritates all BBC folk - that the BBC is a "state broadcaster". But as the BBC does not seem to have been given any compensating funds to pay for the World Service, this decision raises huge questions about the future. Increasingly, the old radio services, especially on short wave, are going and are being replaced by online and television, such as the Persian TV service the BBC runs. What future for them in the wider BBC landscape? And what about BBC Monitoring, which monitors and translates foreign news sources and is funded by the World Service and government? It might not quite have the power it once did -- BBC correspondents at Commonwealth conferences used to be cultivated by certain heads of state in case the BBC had monitored signs of a coup, usually martial music, on their national radio stations. But it is of immense value in tracking trends and crises. Will these services be more commercialised? After all, the BBC News website, as accessed from outside the UK, now carries advertisements. Should the World Service do so? And it will presumably be the BBC which will now choose where the services should be directed. The Foreign Office it would seem has lost an important tool of diplomacy. It will not be able to say that it wants, for example, more broadcasting to Burma or less to Africa. Not such a bad thing, it might be argued. Perhaps the BBC will be able to make fewer policy-driven decisions and deliver ones driven more by demand. In the Cold War it was easy. The BBC, Voice of America and Radio Free Europe knew what they were doing and knew why people listened. The opposition put up their B team. Nobody was taken in by the old Radio Moscow, though the "Midnight in Moscow" theme tune was catchy. There was even, I discovered after the Romanian revolution in 1989, a Romanian English-language radio station broadcasting abroad. It was largely run by a charming middle-aged chap who became the BBC translator during that crisis. During the Falklands war, the British government set up its own short wave radio station called Radio Atlantico del Sur. As I was in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, during that conflict I can confidently state that the only people who listened to it in my experience were myself and BBC colleagues checking on audibility, which was poor. News and information is now a commodity in huge demand. In today's more open broadcasting environment, new thinking is required. But it would, most will agree I think, be a shame for the World Service to wither and die. I have lost count of the times that people in far-flung parts came up to me to express their gratitude - in Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa, the Middle East. The world is not yet so free that it does not need as much access as it can get to free information. Paul.Reynolds-INTERNET@bbc. co.uk The technology identifies a person from their thermal signature and matches infrared images with ordinary photos. It uses a deep neural network system to process the pictures and recognise people in bad light or darkness. However, the technology is not being used commercially yet, with one of its creators, Dr Saquib Sarfraz, saying: "There are no plans to roll it out." Dr Sarfraz, who worked on the project with colleague Dr Rainer Stiefelhagen at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, told the BBC: "We have been doing research on face recognition already for several years and have a scientific interest in the problem. "Our presented work on face recognition in thermal images is currently not used outside the research lab." In tests, the technology had an 80% success rate, and worked 55% of the time with one image, and Dr Sarfraz said that "more training data and a more powerful architecture" could produce better results. With a higher success rate, the tool could potentially be used by police to catch and identify criminals. Dr Tom Heseltine, head of research for UK face recognition company Aurora, was impressed with the project. "It is an interesting approach and a very significant improvement in accuracy," he told the BBC. "Although the ability to recognise faces in the dark is not new, the ability to use thermal infrared and match against a standard colour photograph could open up some new specific applications areas. "Questions may be raised about how susceptible the technology is to variations in body temperature. "Their biggest advantage comes in that they could potentially operate in the dark without the need for active infrared illumination." Daniel Nesbitt, research director of privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch, was keen to ensure that identification of individuals was undertaken correctly. He told the BBC: "All facial recognition technology has the potential to be very invasive of an individual's privacy if done the wrong way. "This new research makes it even more vital that facial recognition is properly covered by legislation and that strong safeguards are put in place to protect people from misuse. "It is important that a serious and wide-ranging debate about all new technology of this type takes place. Our privacy cannot be forgotten no matter how innovative a new piece of technology may seem." The service in Machynlleth was introduced as a compromise following the closure of the Potters Yard recycling centre in January 2015, but has now been withdrawn to save money. Householders will now have to take their waste to Newtown, a 60-mile round trip, or pay £25 for collection. Machynlleth councillor Michael Williams said it was "an outrage". "It's a real big blow for the people of Machynlleth and Dyfi Valley, this bulky waste service has been really well received and well used," he said. Mr Williams added Potters Yard had opened because of the high volume of fly tipping in the area. "I find it hard to believe we will not go back to that volume of fly tipping again, I hope it won't happen but I wouldn't be at all surprised. "I feel, and my constituents feel that it's a big, big mistake, there's outrage at this decision." The decision to completely withdraw the service was taken by the council's cabinet on 10 May. John Powell, cabinet member for environment and sustainability, said: "With the ever reducing budgets available to us, difficult decisions need to be made. "Unfortunately we could no longer continue this service due to its high running costs." Dora Linda Nishihara, 69, who worked as a courthouse bailiff, died after her car fell into the 12ft (3.6m) hole filled with water. Her car was retrieved from the sinkhole by a crane on Monday, a day after it first appeared. A second vehicle also fell into the hole and two other people were hurt. The driver of the second vehicle was rescued by a witness, local media reported, but Ms Nishihara's vehicle had flipped on to its roof and was completely submerged. The flow of water in the sinkhole was caused by a ruptured sewer line, local media reported. Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau said her department was "heartbroken" and was assisting the family. Led by player of the match Helen Housby, Thunder secured a comfortable 72-52 victory over Celtic Dragons. Mavericks beat Loughborough Lightning 48-44, while defending champions Surrey Storm earned a first win of the season with a 57-35 victory over Northumbria on Friday. Team Bath also recorded a second successive win with a 58-38 victory over Yorkshire Jets on Monday. Manchester's attacking wizard Liana Leota continued her fine form on her home debut, linking up well with goal shooter Housby to give Thunder a 40-20 half-time lead. Celtic Dragons came out fighting after the break and were able to slow Thunder's goal scoring rate, but the 2014 champions proved too strong and ran out easy winners. In the second game of the day, Loughborough Lightning travelled to Hertfordshire Mavericks with both teams having recorded opening day victories. Lightning struggled initially against a strong Mavericks defence, but they fought back to lead 25-22 at the second break. In a tightly contested match, neither side were able to break away but errors from Lightning in the closing minutes were punished by the calm shooting of George Fisher as Hertfordshire edged out Loughborough. England defender Eboni Beckford-Chambers impressed once again as her side saw off Yorkshire Jets in Sheffield. Bath were ruthless in the first half, punishing Jets' errors to take a 10-point lead at the half-time break. South African Vanes-Mari du Toit then moved from goal shooter to keeper for Jets but failed to make the desired impact. Team Bath's shooters were deadly under the posts and they closed out a 20-point victory to maintain their perfect start. A strong defensive performance saw Surrey Storm make amends for their opening day defeat by Team Bath. Northumbria's Nicole Dixon became the first player in the 2016 season to be sent off for two minutes as she was dismissed for persistent fouling in the final quarter. Her side were restricted to just 43 shots on target during the match and remain winless this campaign. Storm's attacking trio of Rachel Dunn, Pamela Cookey and Georgia Lees were in full flow and former England international Cookey finished the game with a 100% shooting record. The Flying Scotsman made the journey from London King's Cross to York, where it will go on display at the National Railway Museum (NRM). It arrived in York about 13.20 GMT, almost an hour later than expected, after it was twice held up by reports of trespassers. The engine, which retired from service in 1963, has been restored for the NRM. As it happened: The Flying Scotsman's journey Former MP turned TV presenter Michael Portillo said: "This is certainly the most famous journey and most famous locomotive in Britain." The first disruption happened at about 09:00 near St Neots when the train was brought to a standstill while British Transport Police cleared the lines after reports of around 60 people on the track. No arrests were made. Network Rail said the number of people on the trackside had caused "safety concerns" and resulted in a number of services, including Flying Scotsman, having to slow down." The train was halted a second time north of Doncaster following reports of trespassers on the track which were later found to be false. Crowds gathered at King's Cross for its scheduled departure at 07:40 and thousands lined the route, while some of the 297 passengers paid up to £450 for a ticket to travel on the train. Among the passengers was 83-year-old Ron Kennedy, from Leigh-on-Sea, in Essex, who drove Flying Scotsman from 1956 until it was retired in 1963. He said "It's unbelievable. I never dreamt about being on it again. To be out with it is just fantastic." NRM director, Paul Kirkman, said the restoration project was a "long old journey" but added that it was "incredibly satisfying" to see the locomotive returned to service. The locomotive undertook a series of test runs through Cumbria and Lancashire earlier this year. The winning team shared a prize pool of $1m (£650,000) between them. The team beat another from South Korea, called Koo Tigers, to take the title in the final, which took place in Berlin in front of 15,000 fans. SKT1 won the final 3-1 but Koo was the only team they faced throughout the competition that managed to take a game off them. "We've faced Koo many times in the past and obviously have a good track record with them," said SKT1 player Gyeong-hwan Jang in a post-match interview. "We noticed that Koo didn't really change that much over the past year and we thought that it would be the same this time around - and it was," he said. Mr Jang aka Marin was named as SKT1's most-valued player for his vital role in helping his team win their second title, although only two players from the 2013 triumph are still with the team. Writing on the Rock, Paper Shotgun games news website, Philippa Warr said that SKT1 had a "phenomenal" run during the tournament but Koo Tigers provided stiff competition in the final. However, she said, Koo's undoing was SKT1's relentless pressure across the game map that forced the Tigers to make mistakes in key stages. League of Legends involves teams attempting to destroy each others' bases on a small game map while defending their own. Players control any one of 100 champions, including demon toads, golems, robots, gunmen and wizards, that are equipped with a wide variety of attacks and defences. Since it was released in late 2009, LoL has become hugely popular. Statistics from Riot Games, which makes LoL, said more than 67 million people play the game every month. Senate committees had been expected to approve several candidates, in the second week of Mr Trump's presidency. Democrats said they wanted more information about the financial activities of health nominee Tom Price and treasury pick Stephen Mnuchin. Mr Trump had earlier said the Democrats were obstructing the political process. A vote on attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions was also postponed. On Monday the acting attorney general was sacked for questioning the legality of Mr Trump's immigration directive. It imposes a temporary travel ban on seven mainly-Muslim countries. Acting Attorney General Sally Yates had been appointed by President Barack Obama. Democratic Senators from the Finance Committee told reporters outside the hearing for health and treasury nominees that they were seeking more information about Tom Price's trading in health company stock. The Georgia Congressman has been nominated for the post of health and human services secretary in the new administration. The senators said they were also concerned by reports of financier Stephen Mnuchin's behaviour involving foreclosures at his former bank OneWest. The unexpected walkout by Democrats during scheduled votes to advance two of Donald Trump's more controversial cabinet nominees may be the first shots that lead to total partisan warfare on Capitol Hill. Democratic senators had been subjected to growing criticism from the grass-roots Left for being too accommodating to Mr Trump and his nominees. On Sunday, for instance, more than 200 protesters descended on Senator Diane Feinstein's California house after she voted to confirm four earlier administration nominees. Now, it seems, Democrats could be heeding the anger of their base and taking a more combative posture toward Republicans in general and Mr Trump in particular. These politicians likely saw Acting Attorney General Sally Yates become a liberal hero for defying the president on Monday night and are recognising that their party's anger is a force that could propel their careers or tear them apart. This does not bode well for Mr Trump's Supreme Court nominee, who will be announced on Tuesday night. While Senate Democrats have had to rely on byzantine parliamentary manoeuvres to delay Mr Trump's cabinet picks, they have a powerful weapon - the filibuster - at their disposal to indefinitely block the president's high court selection. But Senator Orrin Hatch, the Republican committee chair, described the Democrats' behaviour as "posturing and acting like idiots", AP reported. A battle also raged in the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Mr Sessions came under heavy criticism. An early Trump backer, Senator Sessions has faced racism allegations which overshadowed his confirmation hearings. Committee chairman Senator Chuck Grassley began Tuesday's meeting by saying that neither Mr Sessions nor any of his current staff, "had a role in formulating or drafting the executive orders" - including the controversial travel ban. Several Democratic Senators spoke in the committee meeting to say that they intended to vote against the 69-year-old Alabama senator. Sen Diane Feinstein criticised his role in Mr Trump's election campaign and his closeness to the new president during it. "It is very difficult to reconcile for me the independence and objectivity necessary for the position of attorney general with the partisanship this nominee has demonstrated," she said. The Democrats' lengthy speeches extended the hearing into the afternoon, eventually forcing Sen Grassley to postpone the vote until Wednesday. If Mr Sessions' nomination is approved by the judiciary committee, the full Senate - where Republicans hold a 52-48 majority - is expected to vote on it by the end of the week. Early on Tuesday, Mr Trump expressed his frustration at the wait in confirming Mr Sessions' appointment. He tweeted: "When will the Democrats give us our Attorney General and rest of Cabinet! They should be ashamed of themselves! No wonder D.C. doesn't work!" "The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks for purely political reasons. They have nothing going but to obstruct," he added. The Alabama senator faced two days of tough questioning during his confirmation hearings this month. One of the most conservative members of the Senate, Mr Sessions was denied a federal judgeship in 1986 after the judiciary committee heard testimony about his remarks on race. Also on Tuesday: The attorney general is America's top prosecutor, leads the justice department and acts as the main adviser to the president on legal issues. Ms Yates was sacked by President Trump, who accused her of "betraying" the justice department and being "weak on borders". She had said in a letter that she was "not convinced" that the president's order on immigration was lawful. Mr Trump replaced her with Dana Boente, a federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia. The immigration order, signed by the president on Friday, temporarily banned nationals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the US. It sparked protests in the US and abroad. The White House has consistently defended Mr Trump's executive order despite the controversy, with press secretary Sean Spicer saying diplomats should "get with the programme". The 20-year-old from Seaforde clocked 2:03.70 at the British Para-swimming trials for Rio in Glasgow. Firth, a 2012 London Paralympics gold medallist, had already achieved the 100m breaststroke and 100m backstroke qualifying times at the trials. She will compete in the 200m Individual Medley on Wednesday. Firth won the 200m freestyle by two seconds from Jessica-Jane Applegate with Chloe Davies back in third. The Co Down woman represented Ireland at the 2012 Games before her decision to switch allegiance to Great Britain in 2013. Last year Firth had to pull out of the British team for the IPC World Championships because of a broken wrist. After this week's British trials, Firth will head to Madeira for the European Championships which take place in Madeira from 30 April to 7 May.

In a video shown on Lebanese TV, the captive businessman was seen appealing for more information concerning the 1978 disappearance of the prominent Lebanese Shia cleric Musa al-Sadr. He was freed in the city of Baalbek and dispatched to Beirut, police told AP. The 40-year-old former playboy was given sanctuary in Oman in 2012. His father Muammar was overthrown by rebels in a 2011 uprising. Al-Sadr, one of the most prominent Shia clerics of the 20th Century, disappeared along with two others during a trip to Libya in 1978. Muammar Gaddafi denied any involvement in his disappearance, but many suspect him of having orchestrated it. The case has long soured relations between the two countries. It is not known how long Hannibal has been in Lebanon. He was under house arrest while in Oman with his sister Ayesha and mother Safiya. In a separate development, the US state department urged American citizens to avoid travelling to Lebanon because of security concerns. In a statement it said sudden outbreaks of violence could occur at any time, and gave the example of the twin suicide bombings claimed by the Islamic State group which killed more than 40 people in Beirut last month. Auckland police said a man was placed under arrest but not charged following a "minor disorder". According to reports, the incident occurred while Sinckler, 24, was out in central Auckland following the Lions' 1-1 series draw with New Zealand. "I apologise for putting myself and the Lions in this position," he said. "I also apologise to the police and anyone else affected." Lions tour manager John Spencer confirmed the Harlequins tight-head had apologised and been reminded of his responsibilities. Spencer said in a statement: "We have been informed by Auckland police about an incident involving Kyle. "I have spoken to Kyle and reminded him of his responsibilities as a Lion, which extend to his off-the-field behaviour. "Kyle has apologised for any inconvenience caused and we are satisfied that he regrets this incident and that this is the end of the matter." An Auckland police spokesperson said: "Police can confirm they attended an incident involving minor disorder in central Auckland early on Sunday morning. "A male was placed under arrest but was not charged after further inquiries established that the incident did not warrant prosecution. "He was then taken to his accommodation by police. Auckland police has no further comment on this incident." The wife of Lee Bo said her husband had called her from a telephone number in Shenzhen to say he was helping with an investigation. Mr Lee is the fifth person linked to the same bookshop to go missing in the past two months. The case has raised fears that China is undermining Hong Kong's legal independence. Demonstrators held a small rally outside Beijing's representative office in Hong Kong on Sunday to protest at Mr Lee's disappearance. One of protesters, Raphael Wong, said: "Freedom of [a] person is inviolable. If the central government arrest a Hong Kong resident and [take them] back to mainland China, this is a threat to our freedom of press and also freedom of speech." Meanwhile, a separate demonstration has been held in Hong Kong to protest at the appointment of a pro-Beijing official to the territory's main university. Arthur Li was selected by the territory's leader, CY Leung, to chair Hong Kong University's governing council. Protesting teachers and students view the appointment as a sign of growing political interference in the territory's education system. Lee Bo went missing last Wednesday when he went to a warehouse in Hong Kong to collect a consignment of books. The authorities in the territory do not appear to know where he is. Carrie Lam, Hong Kong's chief secretary, said in a statement on Saturday that she was concerned about reports that the bookseller had gone missing. The only clue to his whereabouts have come from his wife, Sophie Choi, who said she had received several short telephone calls from her husband. "He said he wouldn't be back so soon and he was assisting in an investigation," she is reported to have told Hong Kong's Cable Television. She said the telephone number of the calls suggested they were made in Shenzhen, a city on the Chinese mainland just across the border from Hong Kong. Mr Lee is the fifth person associated with the Causeway Bay Bookstore to go missing. Two of the other four men were last seen in Shenzhen, where their wives live; one was last seen in Hong Kong; and the other, the owner of a publishing house linked to the bookstore, was last heard from by email from Pattaya, Thailand, where he owns a holiday home. Mr Lee spoke to the BBC when his four colleagues went missing, but was so worried about reprisals from China that he declined to give his full name. There is no official word on why the five are missing, but the bookshop they are all linked to stocks publications critical of the Chinese government. Chinese government critics on the mainland frequently disappear without a word, only to re-appear later in police detention. But this is a new development for Hong Kong, which was allowed to keep its own political and legal system when Britain handed back the territory to China in 1997. Some see these latest disappearances as a sign that China is using shadowy tactics to undermine Hong Kong's independence. At a media conference, Democratic Party lawmaker Albert Ho said people in Hong Kong were shocked and appalled. "We have strong reason to believe Mr Lee was kidnapped and smuggled back to the mainland for political investigation," he said. The American was injured during Friday's draw at Ulster and Blues head coach Danny Wilson says there is no timeframe for his recovery yet. Wales flanker Sam Warburton injured his knee during the same game, ruling him out for six weeks. Lock George Earle suffered similar damage to his knee, while prop Taufa'ao Filise was taken off as a precaution. Blues face Ospreys in their Judgement Day Pro12 derby at the Principality Stadium on Saturday. The leak of more than 22,000 pages exposes secrets about the combat capabilities of Scorpene-class vessels. The confidential documents were made public by the Australian media. India signed a $3.5bn (£2.6bn, €3.1bn) deal for six Scorpene vessels in 2005. They are being built in cooperation with a state-owned Mumbai shipbuilder. France was asked to investigate the data leak to an Australian website and share its findings with the Indian side. It is not clear who first obtained the confidential documents. "The documents that have been posted on the website by an Australian news agency have been examined and do not pose any security compromise as the vital parameters have been blacked out," a government statement on Thursday said. "As a matter of abundant precaution" India is also "examining the impact [it would have] if the information contained in the documents claimed to be available with the Australian sources is compromised", the statement added. On Thursday evening, The Australian newspaper uploaded on its website a new set of documents detailing the submarine's "underwater warfare system", the Press Trust of India reported. Defence expert Uday Bhaskar told The Hindu newspaper the document seems "like an instruction manual and does not show any significant addition to what has already been released". "This does not add to any higher degree of vulnerability than earlier but it shows the level of documentation available in the public," he said. Earlier this year, DCNS also won Australia's largest-ever defence contract to build a fleet of advanced submarines. Details about the Shortfin Barracuda submarine class that will be built for Australia were not contained in the leak. The Scorpene submarines are small-to-intermediate size vessels currently in use in Malaysia and Chile. Brazil is due to deploy the submarine type in 2018. Imps boss Danny Cowley had initially named the same side which started the FA Cup third-round replay against Ipswich, but was forced to make a late change as Sam Habergham was injured during the warm-up so Sean Long came in at left-back.

A post-mortem examination carried out on Sunday revealed the 56-year-old died from drowning, Dorset Police said. Police said the man from Bournemouth, arrested on Friday, was later released under investigation. The force said investigations were ongoing but it was believed the man and woman were known to each other. More on this and other stories from across the South of England. Police in South Africa had said they had expected her to present herself for questioning. A 20-year-old South African woman has accused Mrs Mugabe of hitting her over the head with an extension cord during a row at a hotel on Sunday evening. Mrs Mugabe has so far not commented. Zimbabwean government sources confirmed that Mrs Mugabe, wife of President Robert Mugabe, had returned home. "Yes, she is back in the country. We don't know where this issue of assault charges is coming from," said one senior official quoted by Reuters. Earlier, South African police said they had been negotiating with Mrs Mugabe's lawyers to get her to hand herself in. Zimbabwe's main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), said Mrs Mugabe was a "total disgrace and a complete national embarrassment". "She has to be brought to order and indeed she has to appreciate that she is not a law unto herself," it added in a statement. Confusion surrounded the case with South Africa's Police Minister Fikile Mbalula saying at one point that Mrs Mugabe had handed herself over to police and would appear in court. She did not appear and police sources later said she had agreed to turn herself in but failed to do so. Gabriella Engels, a model, accused Mrs Mugabe, 52, of hitting her after finding her with the first lady's two sons, Robert and Chatunga, in a hotel room in Sandton, a wealthy suburb north of Johannesburg. Ms Engels released an image of a head injury online. "When Grace entered I had no idea who she was," she told South African broadcaster News24. "She walked in with an extension cord and just started beating me with it. She flipped and just kept beating me with the plug. Over and over. I had no idea what was going on. I was surprised. I needed to crawl out of the room before I could run away. "There was blood everywhere," she added. "Over my arms, in my hair, everywhere." She registered a "case of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm", police said. Chief Constable Chris Sims is retiring from his post at West Midlands Police after six years. He said damaging views had affected investigations into the so-called Trojan Horse plot about an alleged Muslim takeover of Birmingham schools. "It would be utterly wrong to label everything as extremism," Mr Sims said. Updates on this story and more from Birmingham & the Black Country "We need to be really careful that in using this term 'extremism' we don't alienate the vast majority of law-abiding Muslim people in the West Midlands, who want to go about normal lives with normal aspirations. "We absolutely need their support to combat the tiny minority of violent extremists who are their enemies and our enemies and who collectively we need to work to combat." He said the force was able to respond effectively to a terror attack, despite cuts of about £130m in the five years since the government's 2010 Spending Review. "It's very difficult to be ahead of it," said Mr Sims. "Even in Paris with the huge numbers of officers and troops that they had on the ground. But we've got very skilled armed officers, we've got good plans as to how to deploy them and we would put on a very effective response." Her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary (HMIC) has rated West Midlands Police as 'outstanding' in its preparation for policing to 2020 and beyond. Mr Sims, 57, received an OBE in 2003 and Queen's Police Medal in 2010 for "distinguished police service". The UK government wants smart meters fitted in all homes by 2020, putting an end to estimated bills. The company promoting the roll-out, Smart Energy GB said it was working to let people know about the changes. The Department of Energy and Climate Change said energy suppliers had made a "good start" on installation. Figures obtained by BBC Wales showed British Gas, which has 375,000 customers in Wales, had installed 90,000 so far. SSE said it was committed to installing them in about a million Welsh homes and was currently at 27,000. EDF Energy, which has about 115,000 Welsh customers, has yet to begin rolling out the new meters in Wales. A spokesperson said the company was waiting for "industry-wide shared systems" to be in place. EON said it had been focusing mainly on the midlands, north west England and East Anglia while Npower said it was trialling the technology. ScottishPower said it has installed a small number of meters as part of technical trials with a roll-out set to begin this year. A central communications system for smart meters is due to be up and running in October 2016 after which time energy companies say mass roll out will be more straightforward. SSE told BBC Wales that by the time the roll out was in full swing it expected to fit 800 meters in Welsh homes per day to meet the target. A report from the Institute of Directors last year warned the UK government's smart meter scheme was too ambitious and risked becoming an "IT disaster". Fflur Lawton, Head of policy for Wales at Smart Energy GB, said: "There's certainly a challenge to get there but energy firms are working hard to do that and working with their customers to make sure they understand the benefits of the smart meter." "Each of the energy suppliers rolls out on a slightly different rate. Where you live and what sort of house you have will affect when you'll get your smart meter." A DECC spokesperson said: "Energy suppliers have made a good start during this stage of the rollout, with over two million meters already operating in homes and businesses across Britain." The PSNI in Lisburn reported the incident in the Warren Park Drive area on its Facebook page on Friday night. They said the residents had just returned home from their holidays. Police said "the back door of the property was broken open and the house wrecked, even the baby's cot". Police have appealed for information about the incident. The Yorkshire club have put a £300,000 valuation on Hardaker, a key member of the Rhinos' treble-winning 2015 season. The club have agreed to allow the 24-year-old to leave after he revealed he wanted to play in Australia's NRL, with Canberra believed to be among the favourites to sign him. Leeds sit bottom of this season's Super League after 17 rounds. Hardaker joined Leeds from Featherstone in 2011 and scored a try in the Rhinos' Grand Final victory over St Helens later that year. Media playback is not supported on this device He has since scored 67 tries in 154 appearances for Leeds, winning three Super League titles, two Challenge Cups, the League Leaders' Shield and World Club Challenge. "I explained my desire to leave and test myself in the NRL to Gary [Hetherington, Rhinos chief executive] several weeks ago and I am pleased the club is prepared to release me," Hardaker said in a statement on the club's website. "I have had five great years here and have had so many wonderful times. I will continue to help the team whilst I am here but I am also excited with what the future may hold for me." Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott said: "Zak is a special talent and a fierce competitor who will do well wherever he plays. "We won't be quite the same without him, but we've come to this decision and he will leave with our best wishes." The England international's expected exit follows the departures of Kevin Sinfield, Jamie Peacock, Kylie Leuluai and Paul Aiton from last season's all-conquering squad. The 25-year-old forward can play for the Ligue 1 side at Guingamp on Sunday. The hold up was down to a delay in the arrival of the Brazilian player's international transfer certificate from Spanish football authorities. At a pre-match news conference, PSG boss Unai Emery said Neymar was "physically ready to start" the game. Brazilian Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona last week. He had to watch from the stands as his new side beat Amiens in their first match of the new season. Transfers between clubs in different countries must include Fifa's international transfer certificate (CIT). It is this document that the French football authorities were waiting to receive. Both the French Football Federation (FFF) and the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), which runs Ligue 1, confirmed the transfer was now complete. "We received the CIT and Neymar can play on Sunday," a spokesperson for the LFP said in a statement to BBC Sport. Neymar's move to France has been troubled since the release clause in his contract was triggered. Spain's La Liga believes PSG are violating Uefa's financial fair play (FFP) rules and Barcelona previously said they would report the French club to European football's governing body, Uefa, for a FFP breach. Margaret Hiorns died from a blood clot at Llanelli's Prince Phillip Hospital in 2013, after originally being treated for a chest infection. Her son claimed she had been given blood-thinning drugs for too long. The hospital's health board said it had reviewed Mrs Hiorns's care and rejected some allegations from the family. But recording a narrative verdict on the death, Coroner Mark Layton said he would write to the chief executive of the Hywel Dda University Health Board to reiterate the importance of monitoring patients and consider the issue of prescribing the drug Tinzarapin. Mrs Hiorn had been given the anti-coagulant drug while being treated at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen, where she had been admitted for a chest infection two months before she died. Her son Mike Hiorns told the inquest that she was given the drug for too long and was not properly monitored for potential complications, including internal bleeding. He described her as being in severe agonising pain. "The cause of her death was accelerated by the mismanagement of her care," he alleged. Expert witness Dr Edmunud Anthony Bliss told the coroner in a report that there had been an "element of substandard care" but not negligence. Nursing expert Joanna James agreed that care in July 2013 at Glangwili had "contributed to the general deterioration in her condition". Delivering his narrative verdict, Mr Layton said there had been "shortcomings in the management of her care at Glangwili Hospital". Responding following the inquest, the health board said it accepted there had been issues in care at Glangwili and said it "sincerely apologises" for those matters. However, a health board spokesperson added that it "strongly refutes the majority of the allegations made by Mr Hiorns at the inquest and confirms that there is no evidence to support many of the claims made against the university health board". Director of nursing Caroline Oakley said: "The university health board has carefully reviewed the guidance available on the use of the medication Mrs Hiorns was receiving and is satisfied that the dose she received was appropriate. "However it welcomes research that is currently underway that might assist clinicians to better consider and balance the risks in difficult cases such as this." The former Labour prime minister told Esquire magazine he was concerned Britain had become a "one-party state". He said the public faced a choice between a government pursuing a "hard Brexit" and an "ultra-left" Labour Party whose policies were out of date. A spokesman for Mr Blair said he would not be returning to frontline politics. Mr Blair merely wanted "to play a part in the debate because the true centre ground is vacant", the spokesman added. He won three elections as prime minister after helping to transform Labour in the 1990s. But his role in taking the UK to war in Iraq in 2003 alienated many in the Labour Party and the country at large and his conduct was criticised in this summer's official Chilcot inquiry into the war. In the decade since leaving office in 2007, the former MP has focused on business ventures and his role as Middle East envoy - which he left in 2015. Last month, the 63-year-old said he was winding down his consultancy business and focusing primarily on charity work. This followed criticism of the lucrative contracts which he struck to advise multinational banks and foreign governments, including Kazakhstan. Mr Blair, who has been critical of Labour's direction under Jeremy Corbyn, told Esquire that he was considering his own future and what role he could play at a turbulent time in British politics when the "centre ground" he represented was under threat. "It's a tragedy for British politics if the choice before the country is a Conservative government going for a hard Brexit and an ultra-left Labour Party, that believes in a set of policies that takes us back to the 60s," he said. "In the UK at the moment you've got a one-party state. When you put it all together, there's something seriously wrong. "I don't know if there's a role for me... There's a limit to what I want to say about my own position at this moment. All I can say is that this is where politics is at. Do I feel strongly about it? Yes, I do. Am I very motivated by that? Yes. "Where do I go from here? What exactly do I do? That's an open question." He added: "There's been a huge reaction against the politics I represent. But I think it's too soon to say the centre has been defeated. Ultimately I don't think it will. I think it will succeed again. "The centre ground is in retreat. This is our challenge. We've got to rise to that challenge." In a Huffington Post blog, Charles Ferguson said pressure from Clinton supporters in the Democratic Party led to many sources shying away. In August, the opposing Republican Party voted to boycott debates on CNN if the programme went ahead. It also said it would boycott NBC, which plans a mini-series on Clinton. The latter series, still in the early stages of production, is set to star actress Diane Lane as the former First Lady. Mrs Clinton, wife of President Bill Clinton, has been closely watched as a possible contender for the Democratic Party's 2016 nomination since leaving her position as secretary of state under President Barack Obama in January. In his blog, Ferguson wrote: "When I approached people for interviews, I discovered that nobody, and I mean nobody, was interested in helping me make this film. "Not Democrats, not Republicans - and certainly nobody who works with the Clintons, wants access to the Clintons, or dreams of a position in a Hillary Clinton administration. "After painful reflection, I decided that I couldn't make a film of which I would be proud. And so I'm cancelling. (Not because of any pressure from CNN - quite the contrary). "It's a victory for the Clintons, and for the money machines that both political parties have now become. But I don't think that it's a victory for the media, or for the American people." The Republican National Committee (RNC) had claimed both the CNN and NBC productions amounted "to little more than extended commercials promoting former Secretary Clinton" and "political ads masked as unbiased entertainment". CNN has not commented on the cancellation of the project. Media playback is not supported on this device It was a drab encounter at Shamrock Park, with Ports keeper Billy Brennan pushing a cross onto the bar as the visitors dominated the first half. There was late drama with Ports forward Mario Soares failing to connect at the back-post seconds before Robinson's close-range winner from a corner. Crues keeper Sean O'Neill tipped over Gary Twigg's header in stoppage time. Jordan Owens squandered the best opening of the first half with the Crusaders striker side-footing wide from Paul Heatley's cut-back. It was a more even second 45 minutes but the chances dried up until a dramatic finale. Substitute Soares was inches away from putting Portadown ahead, with only a touch required to divert a free-kick into net. Crusaders were quick to capitalise as Robinson's header came off the unfortunate Twigg before finding the net. Twigg almost equalised in the dying seconds but his powerful header was touched over by the alert O'Neill. The win keeps the champions nine points clear of closest challengers Cliftonville. Crusaders skipper Colin Coates said: "It was one of those days where you had to win your battles and I think we won seven out of 11. "It wasn't a day for pretty football - it was about getting over the line and we did that. "Cliftonville and Linfield are putting us under pressure but we'll just look after ourselves." And last year he announced his intention to run for president in 2018, saying it was important to have a "clash of ideas" and a real choice. But he may be forced to abort his plan after his conviction by a Russian court of embezzlement, which would bar him from any candidacy. He denies the accusations, and says his legal troubles are Kremlin reprisals for his fierce criticism. His rise as a force in Russian politics began in 2008 when he started blogging about alleged malpractice and corruption at some of Russia's big state-controlled corporations. One of his tactics was to become a minority shareholder in major oil companies, banks and ministries, and to ask awkward questions about holes in state finances. His use of social media to deliver his message symbolises his political style, reaching out to predominantly young followers in sharp, punchy language, mocking the establishment loyal to President Putin. The campaign against corruption took Mr Navalny from criticism of corporations directly to opposition to the ruling party, United Russia. Ahead of the 2011 parliamentary election, which he did not fight as a candidate, he urged his blog readers to vote for any party except United Russia, which he dubbed the "party of crooks and thieves". The phrase stuck. United Russia won the election, but with a much-reduced majority, and its victory was tarnished by widespread allegations of vote-rigging that prompted protests in Moscow and some other major cities. Alexei Navalny - the basics Mr Navalny was arrested and imprisoned for 15 days following the first protest on 5 December, but emerged to speak at the biggest of the post-election rallies in Moscow on 24 December, attended by as many as 120,000 people. Mr Putin later won re-election as president easily and Russia's powerful Investigative Committee launched criminal investigations into Mr Navalny's past activities, even questioning his credentials as a lawyer. When he was briefly jailed in July 2013 for embezzlement in the city of Kirov, the five-year sentence was widely seen as political. He was unexpectedly allowed out of prison to campaign for the Moscow mayoral elections, in which he was runner-up with 27% of the vote, behind Putin-ally Sergei Sobyanin. That was considered a dramatic success as he had no access to state TV, relying only on the internet and word of mouth. His conviction was eventually overturned by the Russian Supreme Court following a judgment by the European Court of Human Rights that he was not given a fair hearing at the first trial. Then, in a retrial in 2017, he was again sentenced - he called the judgment farcical, saying both verdicts were identical. Although Mr Navalny never had the public profile of former jailed oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, parallels between the two figures have been drawn. Mr Khodorkovsky spent a decade in Russian jails, and when in 2010 a court convicted him for a second time, the lengthy prison sentence was announced on 30 December, when most Russians were focused on the new year holiday. Unlike Mr Khodorkovsky, now based in Switzerland, Mr Navalny has vowed to fight on in Russia. Speaking to the BBC, he suggested the best thing Western states could do for justice in Russia was to crack down on "dirty money". "I want people involved in corruption and persecution of activists to be barred from entering these countries, to be denied visas," he said. Alexei Navalny says the Kremlin and its allies have used trumped-up charges against him. He had repeatedly said that his retrial in 2017 was an attempt to bar him from running for the presidency in 2018 - Mr Putin is allowed by the constitution to run for a second consecutive six-year term, but he has not said yet if he plans to do so. When Mr Navalny was jailed in 2013, he told the judge that he would fight on with his colleagues "to destroy the feudal state that's being built in Russia, destroy the system of government where 83% of national wealth is owned by a half per cent of the population''. President Putin's system was "sucking the blood out of Russia", he said. Mr Navalny has had critics in the anti-Putin camp, not least for what some see as his flirtation with Russian nationalism. He has spoken at ultra-nationalist events, causing concern among liberals. Russian nationalists, too, were wary of his links with the US after he spent a semester at Yale in 2010. But when the opposition elected its own leaders in October 2012, it was Alexei Navalny who won, ahead of veteran Putin critic and former chess champion Garry Kasparov, although it was on a small turnout of 81,801. The opposition has been weakened by Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its support for pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. Opinion polls suggest strong support for the intervention among Russians. The Kremlin denies fomenting the Ukraine conflict. Mr Navalny has been an advocate of sanctions against Putin allies. But one question that has regularly been posed about Mr Navalny is whether he commands any support beyond the population centres of Moscow and other cities. The list includes six nationalities making a first appearance: Libya, Mozambique, Guadeloupe, Hungary, South Africa and Congo-Brazzaville . The prize is awarded every two years to an author who has published fiction either originally in English or whose work has been translated into English. The winner will be announced in London on 19 May. The award recognises an author's continued creativity, development and overall contribution to literature, rather than a single work. The authors on the list are: None of the writers has previously been up for the prize. The list was announced by the chair of judges, Professor Marina Warner, at the University of Cape Town in South Africa on Tuesday. "The judges have had an exhilarating experience reading for this prize; we have ranged across the world and entered the vision of writers who offer an extraordinary variety of experiences," she said. "Fiction can enlarge the world for us all and stretch our understanding and our sympathy. The novel today is in fine form: as a field of inquiry, a tribunal of history, a map of the heart, a probe of the psyche, a stimulus to thought, a well of pleasure and a laboratory of language. Truly, we feel closer to the tree of knowledge." Lydia Davis won the prize in 2013, Philip Roth in 2011, Alice Munro in 2009, Chinua Achebe in 2007 and Ismail Kadare won the inaugural prize in 2005. Steven Copping, 49, from Hildenborough in Kent, died after his car was crushed by a lorry that overturned on the A27 between Polegate and Lewes in March. The driver of the lorry, David Hare, 53, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving. Mr Hare, of Ford, near Salisbury, Wiltshire, is due to appear at Hastings Magistrates' Court on 2 September. After deadly violence erupted over a white supremacist rally in Virginia, Mr Trump said he condemned "hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides". Mr Corbyn said that "any president... should be able to condemn" white supremacists. He rejected comparisons with his own comments about violence in Venezuela. More than 120 people have died during months of anti-government protests in Venezuela, and Mr Corbyn faced criticism after he condemned violence committed "by any side". He has been under pressure to condemn the country's President, Nicolas Maduro, having previously expressed support for him and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez. In Charlottesville, Virginia, a woman was killed on Saturday when a car rammed into a crowd protesting against a far-right rally. Nineteen people were injured in the car-ramming incident, and another 15 people were wounded in separate clashes related to the march. President Trump was strongly criticised by Republicans and Democrats after he said he condemned "in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides". A White House spokesman said later that his condemnation included white supremacists. "It's not enough," Mr Corbyn said. "What happened in Charlottesville was the KKK [Ku Klux Klan] and its supporters, white supremacists, arrived in Charlottesville in order to cause trouble. "Surely every president of every country in the world... should be able to condemn that." Last week, Mr Corbyn was asked whether he condemned President Maduro's actions and said: "What I condemn is the violence that's been done by any side, by all sides, in all this." But on Monday he insisted "there is no equivalence between white supremacists trying to kill somebody in Charlottesville" and the situation in Venezuela. "Yes, there are problems in Venezuela," he added, "and what I have called for is the same as [French] President Macron has called for: calm, peace, negotiations, and a constitutional way forward." Asked whether President Trump's response to the Charlottesville rally had been robust enough, Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman told reporters: "What the president says is a matter for him. "We are very clear... we condemn racism, hatred and violence. We condemn the far right." Angela Wrightson, 39, was found by her landlord in her blood-spattered home in Hartlepool in December 2014. She had suffered "well in excess" of 103 injuries, including 80 to her head. Two girls, aged 13 and 14 at the time of Ms Wrightson's death, deny murder. The older girl has admitted manslaughter. Her care worker told Leeds Crown Court that, the morning after Ms Wrightson died, the girl asked her: "How do you think it feels to kill someone? Do you think you'd feel empty? Do you think you'd feel bad?". She later asked: "How long do you get for murder?" The worker said she explained the difference between murder and manslaughter and that sentencing would depend on the circumstances. She said the older girl told her she would "probably end up in jail anyway" and that it may "sort her out" because she could "do courses, have my own room, and a TV and Playstation". An earlier witness, Andrea Robinson, a friend of Ms Wrightson, said she "had a heart of gold" but was easily taken advantage of and susceptible to bullying. The two women would regularly drink together, the court heard, and both were recognised as being alcohol-dependant. Miss Robinson said she had seen the two defendants, who cannot be named because of their age, at Ms Wrightson's home on Stephen Street several weeks before her death. She said the pair were "being very cheeky" and were "knocking things, ornaments, and that" off surfaces in the home. She said Ms Wrightson was pleading with the girls to stop it and asking them to behave. Under cross examination, Miss Robinson admitted that, because of drink and other health problems, her memory "could be hazy". The trial, scheduled to last for five weeks, continues. Born in Yorkshire, Brenda Hale is a grammar school girl whose parents were both head teachers. She achieved the only starred first in her year at the University of Cambridge, before going on to be the youngest and first woman to be appointed to the Law Commission. Lady Hale played a significant role in introducing a number of reforms to the law, including the Children's Act 1989, which is widely acknowledged as the UK's most important piece of legislation protecting children. In 2004, she became the first woman to be appointed as a Law Lord. When the Law Lords - who had sat in parliament as the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords - were given a new home in 2009, with the establishment of the UK Supreme Court, she became its first female justice. In 2013, she became its first deputy president and today becomes its first female president. But her route to becoming the most senior judge in the UK has been anything but conventional. First woman appointed as UK's top judge Unlike her fellow Supreme Court justices, Lady Hale spent many years in academia rather than legal practice. She remains an educator to the core. In 1966, she became an assistant lecturer at the University of Manchester, where her interests were in social welfare and family law. She remained at the university for 18 years while also qualifying as a barrister. It is no surprise that she did so by achieving the highest mark in her year in the Bar Final exams in 1969. She followed this by developing a part-time practice in family law, which she managed to combine with her academic work. With her burgeoning CV, it was perhaps only a matter of time before she was appointed a judge in the family division of the High Court. She was the first academic - yet another first - to achieve such a move in 1994. She continued to play a role in legislative reforms, such as the introduction of the Family Law Act 1996, which covered domestic violence, and the Mental Health Act 2005. Lady Hale has always been acutely aware of the need for judges to be drawn from a diverse group within society. She has been all too conscious that diversity has been a stubbornly difficult problem for the judiciary to overcome and that it remains a major issue. Figures on judicial diversity released on Thursday show some progress in the last three years among senior judges. The percentage of female judges in the Court of Appeal has risen from 18% to 24%, and from 18% to 22% in the High Court. But there is still a woeful lack of diversity, with just 28% of court judges being female and only 7% coming from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. Shortly after her appointment as the first female Law Lord in 2004, while speaking in a lecture, she said the gender and ethnicity of judges matters "because democracy matters". "We are the instrument by which the will of Parliament and government is enforced upon the people. It does matter that judges should be no less representative of the people than the politicians and civil servants who govern us." But she hasn't always been so diplomatic. In 2011, with typical candour, she said she found it "quite shocking" that so many senior judges were members of the all-male Garrick Club, a private members' club in London's West End. She suggested its popularity might contribute to male dominance of the bench, thanks to "personal network relationships". She has talked about the background of her fellow senior judges, who have moved from public school to Oxbridge colleges, to the Inns of Court, as being "from quadrangle, to quadrangle, to quadrangle". She acknowledges that she herself is part of the quadrangle by dint of going to Cambridge. As a Supreme Court justice she has been the court's magnetic north on matters of family law. In 2011, in the housing case Yemshaw v LB Hounslow, she gave the lead judgement ruling that domestic violence was not limited to physical violence. In 2014, she effectively broadened the definition of what amounts to a deprivation of liberty for those who lack mental capacity and are detained in care homes and other institutions, writing famously in her judgement that "a gilded cage is still a cage". There has also been controversy. Lady Hale was criticised by Brexiteers for comments in a lecture to students in Malaysia, in which she appeared to speculate on aspects of legal questions in the Article 50 case before it had been heard by the court. She was forced to say publicly that she would not recuse herself from the case. She now faces huge challenges. Most importantly, she will have to steward the UK Supreme Court through the Brexit and post-Brexit period in which it will have to determine the weight to be given to decisions of the European Court of Justice. The UK's relationship with what is in effect the Supreme Court of the EU remains highly contentious, and the eyes of the pro-Brexit press, in particular, will focus laser-like on decisions of our own Supreme Court on issues of EU law. If she receives some personal criticism in the press, that will not be a first. The pair will be taking over slots once held by Olly Murs and Caroline Flack, who have been promoted to hosts of the main ITV talent show. This year's X Factor will see wholesale changes, with Louis Walsh, Mel B and Dermot O'Leary departing. Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini are the only faces returning. The judging panel will be completed by newcomers Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora, who was poached from BBC One's The Voice. Coincidentally, Humes' husband is former JLS singer Marvin Humes, who hosts the BBC's rival talent show. The couple are regular stand-in presenters together on ITV's This Morning, while Rochelle also fronted ITV's Ninja Warrior UK. Odoom has worked on Kiss FM's breakfast show, alongside co-host Rickie Haywood-Williams, as well as presenting The Brit Awards for ITV2. The Xtra Factor is a companion show to the main weekend broadcasts, and follows the backstage action, as well as chatting with judges and contestants. Humes said: "I have watched The Xtra Factor for years so I am beyond excited about joining such a brilliant team and getting to work with my old friend Melvin makes it even better. "I also can't wait to meet the contestants and be a part of their X Factor experience." Here is what is known so far about the events which began on a seemingly ordinary Friday morning, only a few days away from the Christmas holiday. The gunman, named by police as Adam Lanza, 20, shot and killed his mother Nancy Lanza at their home in Newtown, an affluent town of 27,000 people about 60 miles north-east of New York City. It is still not clear why Lanza killed his mother, who was found wearing her pyjamas in bed, shot four times in the head with a rifle. Mrs Lanza, a gun enthusiast who practised at shooting ranges, had divorced Lanza's father Peter in 2009. Nancy Lanza was a teacher, but education officials say that have found no links between her and Sandy Hook Elementary School - contrary to earlier reports. After killing his mother, Lanza apparently stole a number of her guns and drove her car five miles (8km) to the school, which he attended as a child. The school has about 700 pupils aged between five and 10. He was dressed in black fatigues, reportedly with a utility vest with a number of pockets. He was carrying an assault rifle, thought to have been a Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle, a civilian version of the military's M-16. Police say this was the main weapon used during the shooting, though Lanza was also carrying two handguns loaded with high-capacity magazines. Police say a fourth weapon, a shotgun, was later found in his car parked outside the school. Visitors to the school have to be "buzzed in" by a member of staff. But at about 09:30, Lanza shot his way into the school, police now say, contrary to earlier reports that he had been let in. When the police arrived, they found the school's front windows were shattered. The head teacher and the school psychologist were shot dead in a corridor as Lanza made his way into the building. Newtown police were notified of shooting at the school over their radios at 09:36. "Caller is indicating she thinks someone's shooting in the building," a police dispatcher said. A school employee ran through the halls warning of a gunman on the loose, and someone switched on the intercom, alerting people in the building to the attack by letting them hear the mayhem in the school office, a teacher told AP. One young survivor said the gunshots sounded like pots and pans falling to the floor. Teachers locked their doors and ordered children to huddle in a corner or hide in cupboards as shots echoed through the building. They used different methods to calm their students. Some read stories while others pulled out crayons for the children draw. Some of the teachers sat with their children holding teddies or comfort blankets in huddled silence while others whispered Christmas carols, not pausing when they heard screams or shots over the intercom. Connecticut medical examiner H Wayne Carver said that the seven dead children he personally examined had been shot between three and 11 times each, and two of those were shot at close range. "The bullets are designed in such a fashion that the energy is deposited in the tissue and so the bullet stays in," he said. "This is a very devastating set of injuries." Authorities say the shooting only lasted a few minutes and victims were found in two rooms. Lanza apparently shot himself. "The shooting appears to have stopped," the police dispatcher radioed at 09:38, according to the New York Post. "There is silence at this time. The school is in lockdown." Police said that when they found the killer's body he was lying with hundreds of unspent rounds. The police respond Fearful the gunman could still be at large, police swarmed into the building, breaking windows to enter at several points, Lt Paul Vance of the Connecticut state police said. Meanwhile, other officers searched and secured the woods surrounding the school, police said in a statement. Inside the building officers encountered a horrific scene: 18 children and six adults shot dead, including popular principal Dawn Hochsprung, 47. Two more children would later die from their wounds. Paramedics wheeled a wounded woman out on an office chair. The officers went from room to room removing surviving children and staff from classrooms. They did not fire their weapons during the search. A library clerk who had ordered 18 children into a storage room before locking and barricading the door gave the children paper and crayons to keep them occupied. The police arrived at the door within an hour, the clerk, Maryann Jacob, told the Associated Press. "One of them slid his badge under the door, and they called and said, 'It's OK, it's the police'," she said. The schoolchildren were escorted hand-in-hand and were told the shut their eyes as they passed the principal's office, believed to be the scene of much of the carnage. They were taken to Sandy Hook fire station, where worried parents began to gather. Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy went to the fire station. "Evil visited this community today and it's too early to speak of recovery," he said later. More details about Lanza have begun to emerge. He studied at Newtown High School, but made few friends. His mother pulled him out of the school and taught him at home because she was unhappy with the school district's plan for his education. Intelligent but shy and nervous were the most common memories of those who studied beside him. Richard Novia, who was head of security at Newtown High School, said it was clear Lanza was a "very scared young boy" who had "some disabilities". He was protective of his personal space and sometimes appeared to completely withdraw into himself or to "take flight", Mr Novia told AP, meaning his mother had to be called in to resolve the problem. Mr Novia helped to run a technology club, which Lanza attended, and said he had to keep a close eye on him while the club was using soldering equipment or electrical equipment. "If that boy would've burned himself, he would not have known it or felt it physically," he said. But the gunman's background suggests no clear motive for the rampage. Investigators have found no letters or diaries that could explain his actions, and he reportedly did not utter a single word during the attack. After tentatively identifying Lanza, police rushed to the house on Yogananda Street where they found his deceased mother. Profile: Adam Lanza, friendless gunman Medical examiners arrived about two hours after the scene had been secured, Dr Carver said. They began taking photographs of the slain children and adults in a temporary facility similar to a military field hospital set up by the school, he said. By 01:00 on Saturday the bodies had been transported to the medical examiner's office in Farmington, Connecticut, where post-mortem examinations were carried out. Relatives of the victims were shown photographs of the deceased to help in identification - they did not view the bodies, Dr Carver said. Newtown shootings: The victims Initial reports about a shooting at the school identified Ryan Lanza, Adam Lanza's older brother, as the gunman after he was mistakenly identified by a police official. Ryan Lanza, 24, apparently posted Facebook updates on Friday afternoon that read, "It wasn't me" and "I was at work". In northern New Jersey, where Ryan Lanza works at an accounting firm, police took him into custody for questioning. A construction worker who witnessed Ryan Lanza's initial encounter with police said he was handcuffed but remained calm, the Record newspaper reported. He was said to be co-operating with investigators, was not suspected of having a role in the attack, and had not been placed under arrest. 5 December 2015 Last updated at 11:13 GMT A report by conservationists and animal charities have identified some of our most at risk British birds. Things like climate change are having an affect on sea birds diets, meaning many of them are not getting enough food. As the sea warms up the fish they feed on are travelling north to colder water. However, some birds like the Red Kite are doing much better thanks to conservation efforts to re-introduce them to different parts of the UK. Jenny has been finding out more... Police Scotland have issued a CCTV picture of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the incident on Sunday 12 February. It happened on board the 16:00 Virgin East Coast service. The white man is 5ft 10in, in his late 30s and of a large build. He has short black spiked hair and was wearing glasses and white polo shirt. He was also wearing a dark coloured jacket, a thick metal chain around his neck, dark grey jeans and white trainers. He has a tattoo on his right arm and has a north-east English accent. Anyone who recognises him is being urged to contact the police. Fitzpatrick initially successfully appealed against the suspension imposed following an alleged incident in the League game against Armagh. The ban was re-imposed and successfully appealed in quick succession before Croke Park ordered a further hearing. Fitzpatrick was having that hearing in Dublin on Monday night. Antrim joint-manager Gearoid Adams told BBC Sport Northern Ireland that his fellow joint-manager Frank Fitzsimons was accompanying St John's player Fitzpatrick at the latest Croke Park hearing. "Quite frankly I am, given how long that this has dragged on," said Adams. "I know the young man. He's a fellow club-man of my own. This is the third time he has been before a disciplinary committee over this issue. "I first met Matthew at the age of 16 when I was manager of St John's and he told me that he about to play for Glentoran but instead he came back to me when he could easily have stuck with soccer. "This may lead to one of our most talented players saying: 'You know what. I'm either away to America or I'm not going to play football at all'. "He's a brilliant players but he's a free spirit. If he was a dirty player, I wouldn't be standing here defending him." Three weeks ago, Fitzpatrick's Saffron team-mates released a strongly worded statement which alleged that the Antrim county board had identified the player to Croke Park. According to his team-mates, the county's management and two county officials were initially unable to identify the player from footage after being asked to do so by the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee. The players alleged that the county board, however, then did identify Fitzpatrick which led to his suspension. The Saffrons will already be without Conor Murray after he was handed a two-match ban following his red card in the game against Armagh. Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney was then banned for 12 weeks for an allegation verbal altercation with a linesman in the Athletic Grounds game. Flying Scotsman is travelling from Carnforth on the West Coast Main Line following a £4.2m restoration project, which has taken 10 years. The engine, which was retired from service in 1963, has been restored for York's National Railway Museum by Riley and Son Ltd, based in Bury. Low-speed tests have taken place along the East Lancashire Railway. The locomotive is in its black undercoat and sporting wartime numbers. It will be painted in its new green livery next week after the test run. Jim Lowe, head of operations at the National Railway Museum in York, said: "We have all been looking forward to the day when Flying Scotsman is once again running on Britain's tracks." The train is travelling from Carnforth and into Carlisle with a return journey through Appleby and across the Ribblehead Viaduct to Farrington. Cy Viccari popped the question on the Isle of Man race's Mountain Course on Sunday. Mr Viccari said he had been planning the proposal "quietly" for over a year to keep it secret from Ms Barton. The couple, who live in North Wales and are originally from Poynton in Cheshire and Wirral, plan to return to the island at a later date to get married. Ms Barton said the proposal was "a total surprise". "You can see how shocked I am - but of course I accepted." The couple, who first became TT marshals in 2015, met in 2014 after spending nearly a year talking on the phone for work reasons. Mr Viccari said they found they had shared a love of motorbikes and the Isle of Man and decided to visit the island together for the famous races. "I used to come here with my parents and have many happy memories - now Caroline and I are creating new memories," he added. Hickey stepped aside after being arrested by Rio police during the 2016 Olympics in an investigation into illegal ticket sales. Acting president Willie O'Brien, Swim Ireland's chief executive Sarah Keane and Basketball Ireland's Bernard O'Byrne are the three candidates. Hickey, 71, was allowed to return home to Ireland in December. This was after the the umbrella group for Olympic Committees throughout the world agreed to pay his bail of just under £330,000. The Dubliner, who was also president of the European Olympic committees before his arrest in Brazil last August, has said he is "totally innocent" of the charges levelled at him by the Brazilian police. O'Brien, 68, has served in various roles with the OCI for more than 20 years, including the last 12 years as vice-president. After Hickey stepped down from the role, O'Brien became the organisation's acting president. O'Brien, a close associate of Hickey's, is regarded as the continuity candidate, while Keane, 43, has served on the OCI's council for two years with former Football Association of Ireland chief executive O'Byrne, 62, portraying himself as the change candidate. The OCI's 34 member federations and members of the governing body's council will choose Hickey's successor. Earlier this week, Hickey released a statement saying he would have "no role" in Thursday's vote and that he would not be able to attend the gathering following a recent medical procedure on his heart. "Accordingly, the time has now come to pass the Irish Olympic torch to a new generation and I wish nothing but the best of luck and success to the new president, officers and executive committee of the OCI," Hickey added. Thursday's vote is taking place at an OCI extraordinary general meeting in Dublin's Conrad Hotel. The injured man, 53, was disocvered on Abbey Green on Wednesday afternoon and was taken to hospital with serious bruising and internal injuries. He died soon afterwards. Police say his death is "unexplained" and they are trying to find his family. A post-mortem examination will be held on Thursday. Police have not said on what charge the man was arrested. Capt Eric "Winkle" Brown died in February, aged 97, having flown 487 types of aircraft. His biographer, Colonel Paul Beaver, read tributes at a private ceremony in Crawley on Monday. They included a letter from an 11-year old boy from Dorchester who described the test pilot as a hero. The youngster began writing and sending drawings to Capt Brown two years ago. He told the pilot's family he was "devastated" he would never get to meet him. "Eric encouraged him, telling him to do maths and physics and to keep physically fit to help him become a naval test pilot in the future," Col Beaver said. Tributes were also paid by the pilot's grand-daughter, Melanie Satisky, who read the aviation poem High Flight. Mourners included First Sea Lord Admiral Sir George Zambellas and members of clubs and societies associated with him, such as The People's Mosquito, of which Capt Brown was patron. A Royal Marines' bugler played the Last Post as Capt Brown's coffin was committed at the Surrey and Sussex Crematorium. Capt Brown was born in Leith in 1919 and educated at Edinburgh's Royal High School, before studying at the University of Edinburgh, where he learned to fly. During World War Two, he flew fighter aircraft and witnessed the liberation of Bergen Belsen concentration camp. The pilot, who had been appointed MBE, OBE and CBE, moved to Copthorne in West Sussex and died at East Surrey Hospital in February after a short illness. Media playback is not supported on this device The two bodies have invited applications for independent research. Ex-England forward Jeff Astle died aged 59 in 2002, with a coroner ruling it was a result of brain trauma. A re-examination of his brain in 2014 found he had died from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Neurosurgeon Dr Willie Stewart, who carried out that examination, said it had been caused by Astle heading footballs throughout his career. Astle's daughter Dawn said she was "really pleased" by the announcement of the joint FA-PFA study, adding it had been "a long time coming". She added: "As long as the research is the right research, and being done by the right people to answer the key questions which have been asked by the FA and ourselves, then that is fine." The research will specifically address the question of whether degenerative brain disease is more common in ex-professional footballers than in the rest of the population. Those interested in carrying out the research have until 17 May to apply. The FA's head of medicine, Dr Charlotte Cowie, said "the process will not be rapid" to ensure those affected "can be confident in the final results". Astle was originally diagnosed with early onset dementia, and his cause of death was listed by the coroner as an "industrial disease". Twelve years after the former West Brom player's death, Dr Stewart found he had died from CTE, a brain condition normally linked to boxing. In 2015, Astle's family launched the Jeff Astle Foundation, which promotes care of others affected, and research and education into the condition. Later that year, the FA agreed to carry out research into head injuries in the sport, and also drew up new guidelines on how to deal with concussion. Dawn Astle said the latest step will help the next generation of footballers make "informed choices". She said: "It is like smoking - we all know smoking can give you lung cancer, the warning is there on the cigarettes. You choose whether you smoke or not, and this will be no different. "We know smoking can be a killer, we know football can be a killer - it is on dad's death certificate. "It is not about stopping football, banning it, anything like that. It is just about letting people make informed choices, and without the research you can't do that." The Astle family have criticised the players' union for a lack of progress in researching possible links between heading footballs and brain disease. Dawn Astle walked out of a meeting with PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor earlier this month, and both she and Astle's widow Laraine have also called on him to resign. Yet Taylor, 72, defended his organisation's record, calling the criticism "unfair". "I don't know of another football organisation anywhere in the world that has done more than us," said Taylor. "If you do, please tell me. "I don't think there's a sports organisation that has done as much as us. "I feel very offended when people accuse us of a cover-up and say we don't want to know about the health risks. We do." Dr Cowie added: "This is a crucial issue for the FA and one that we feel passionately about addressing. "Player welfare is paramount and it is increasingly important that the football authorities investigate further whether there are any potential risks associated with heading the ball, as this is a unique feature of our game."

Last month, Mr Justice Warby ruled ministers had erred by saying the GCSE would "fulfil the entirety" of the state's religious education duty. Three families had argued the course "skewed" religious education by excluding non-religious world views. The government said it disagreed with "some aspects" of the judge's decision. A Department for Education (DfE) spokesman said Mr Justice Warby had turned down an earlier request for permission to appeal against his ruling, so ministers were considering seeking leave to appeal directly to the Court of Appeal. "However, we fully accept there is a proper place for the consideration of non-religious worldviews in a religious education curriculum," he said. "The judgement does not require changes to the structure or content of the new RS GCSEs. "The new GCSEs will ensure pupils understand the diversity of religious and non-religious beliefs in Great Britain. "In future, for the first time, all pupils studying RS GCSE will need to study two religions rather than just one." In his ruling, Mr Justice Warby ruled there had been a breach of the state's legal duty to provide religious education that reflected the pluralistic nature of the UK. He said: "It is not of itself unlawful to permit an RS GCSE to be created which is wholly devoted to the study of religion." But he added Education Secretary Nicky Morgan had erred in announcing the new course in February by asserting that it would "fulfil the entirety of the state's [religious education] duties". He said schools would interpret this to mean non-religious views need not be included in the teaching. "The assertion thus represents a breach of the duty to take care that information or knowledge included in the curriculum is conveyed in a pluralistic manner," he said. The DfE spokesman said it would be inappropriate to spell out full details of the request for leave to appeal before they had been considered by the court. The families who brought the original case included one from Cumbria and one from Kent who cannot be identified. The third family is Kate Bielby, from Frome in Somerset, and her daughter Daisy. The families were backed by the British Humanist Association, which, at the time, described the High Court ruling as a "triumph" for its efforts to ensure parity for non-religious world views. The new course is due for first teaching from next September.

The government might apply to the Court of Appeal over a High Court judge's ruling ministers made an error of law over the new religious studies GCSE.

"I've loved every minute of my time at Wrexham," said Jones, who went on to win two European Cups with Liverpool in 1977 and 1978. "It's time to let others come to the fore and carry on the proud traditions of the club. " Llandudno-native Jones joined Wrexham in 1970 as a teenager and made his senior debut two years later in a Welsh Cup tie against Chester. His talent was spotted by Liverpool and the defender joined the Merseyside giants for £110,000 in July 1975. Jones made his Wales debut the same year - against Austria at the Racecourse - and would go on to win 72 caps for his country. He would play for Wrexham in two further spells, as well as Chelsea and Huddersfield Town. During his playing career Jones won the old First Division, two European Cups, a Uefa Cup and Super Cup, the Second Division championship and the Welsh Cup. Jones finished his playing career as player-coach at Wrexham under former manager Brian Flynn, hanging up his boots in 1992 at the age of 37 but continuing to coach at the Welsh side. He required a heart operation in 2002, when he was 47, but made a full recovery. "The club continues to be a massive part of my life and whilst I am retiring from a full-time position, I will still be part of the future of the club and especially helping the younger generations make the transition to professional football like I did with Wrexham," Jones added. "I'm looking forward to the season ahead and hopefully we will be right up there." Joey Jones won the European Cup with Liverpool in 1977 and 1978.

Wrexham great Joey Jones has stepped down from his full-time coaching role with the club.

It is a consequence of the way sunlight is scattered by haze particles, say scientists. The US space agency probe continues to downlink the information gathered during its historic flyby of the dwarf planet on 14 July. As this data arrives on Earth, the team processes it and studies it. A black and white image of the hazes was previously released, showing them to be as high as 130km above Pluto's surface. That picture came from the Lorri camera and was acquired as New Horizons departed the dwarf, looking back to see sunlight skim the edge of the distant world. This new view comes from the Ralph colour camera system. Again, it is taken with Pluto backlit. Like Earth, the dwarf has a predominantly nitrogen atmosphere (albeit much more spare). But it is the interaction of this nitrogen with the Sun's ultraviolet light, in presence of another atmospheric constituent, methane, that is able to create the chunky haze particles. "That striking blue tint tells us about the size and composition of the haze particles," said New Horizons team member Carly Howett from the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Boulder, Colorado. "A blue sky often results from scattering of sunlight by very small particles. On Earth, those particles are very tiny nitrogen molecules. On Pluto they appear to be larger - but still relatively small - soot-like particles we call tholins." The principal investigator on the mission, Alan Stern, had teased Pluto fans in recent days, telling them to expect something special from this week's regular Thursday release of new images. "Who would have expected a blue sky in the Kuiper Belt? It's gorgeous," he said in a Nasa statement. If you stood on Pluto and looked straight up, the sky would actually appear black because of the rarity of the atmosphere. "The haze is pretty thin, so you'd mostly see the colour of the haze as blue sunrises and sunsets," Dr Howett explained to BBC News. The other important piece of news to come out concerns the detection of water-ice at many locations on the 2,300km-wide dwarf's surface. More volatile ices tend to dominate the surface, so understanding why the water-ice is seen strongly in some places is an interesting observation that will need to be followed up, the team says. "We expected water-ice to be there, but we've searched for water-ice in Pluto's spectrum for decades and not seen it before now," tweeted Alex Parker, also from SwRI. Since 14 July, New Horizons has moved more than 100 million km beyond Pluto. And this puts it about five billion km from Earth. The vast separation makes for very low data rates. It will be well into 2016 before all the information is on the ground. [email protected] and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos The "mixed bag" of 75 signatures include Queen Victoria, writer Rudyard Kipling, nurse Florence Nightingale and band leader Duke Ellington. Seller David Hill said he was "very pleased" with how much his late grandmother's autograph book sold for. Auctioneer George Holtby said the sale price reflected a "very well-rounded and interesting collection". Mr Hill, 72, from Bishops Lydeard, Somerset, said 80% of the autographs were collected by his grandmother who gave him the book about 50 years ago. He said the remaining 20% came from his mother Barbara Nuttall, who is now 101, and reflected her "participation and interest in the jazz movement in the 1930s in this country". Other autographs include artists such as Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds, and authors and poets including TE Lawrence and William Wordsworth. Another former monarch, King William IV, is also part of the collection. Mr Hill said some of the autographs were from letters written to his family which included "quite a large proportion of Victorian worthies". He remembered his grandmother telling him she also wrote to well-known people and "just asked" for their autograph. Mr Hill said: "I've enjoyed having them but I am not really an autograph collector, I feel they could be of more value to somebody else. "Autographs generally are becoming a thing of the past in the electronic age, and somehow the stamp of the individual, the aura of the person is kept in the autograph and the signature, I think." George Holtby, from Charterhouse Auctions in Sherborne, Dorset said: "People such as Queen Victoria, who was alive for a hell of a long time, signed a lot of pieces of paper. "Then you've got other people who are much rarer. There's a lot of very interesting jazz-related photographs signed and addressed to her [Mr Hill's mother] so they're personal, people like Louis Armstrong. "Other big names [include] a 'little scrap of paper' with the name Isambard Kingdom Brunel." Claire Sugden made a statement on the issue of mental health in prisons to the assembly on Monday. She told MLAs there were currently 1,533 prisoners in NI jails and of those, 740 had an addiction, while 417 had a mental health illness. She announced a review into services for vulnerable prisoners following five recent deaths in jail. Four of those who died in custody took their own lives. The justice minister said a community response plan was being developed which would involve the health and prison services with the aim of detecting a potential suicide cluster. Ms Sugden said the needs of prisoners were "complex" and said addiction issues, mental illness and generally poor coping skills were higher among the prison population. "However we portray it, the custody environment is not designed to deal with those experiencing severe chronic mental health issues," she said. "Whatever level of training we provide to staff they remain prison officers. "The Northern Ireland Prison Service cannot meet this challenge alone, we need the ongoing help and support of the Department of Health, other departments, and partners across the justice system, and in the wider community." The justice minister said that following the most recent death of Barry Cavan in Maghaberry Prison, a meeting was held last Friday to develop a community response plan. A similar model is adopted whenever there are potential clusters of suicides in the community, she said. "The aim of using this approach is to detect a potential suicide cluster and thereby, prevent further deaths by suicide," she said. "I also believe this is the first time this model, which has been used successfully in the community, has been adopted in a prison in Northern Ireland." Objectives of community response plan for prisoners Ms Sugden said the prison service was working in partnership with the South-Eastern Trust, which delivers health care in Northern Ireland's prisons, to review the suicide and self-harm policy. The minister said she, along with Health Minister Michelle O'Neill, would conduct an immediate review of vulnerable people in custody. "Officials from both departments are now working together to define the structure, scope and timeframe of this review," she added. The 43-year-old former Welsh secretary, raised by his mother on a council estate in Haverfordwest, has a back story that contrasts sharply with that of many of his cabinet colleagues. He has spoken in interviews of the "horrible decisions about what food and clothing was affordable" as he was growing up. Many see his personal story as well suited to his new role at the Department for Work and Pensions, where he will take on the reforms championed by Mr Duncan Smith and fiercely opposed by some charities and opposition MPs. In an interview with BBC Wales Westminster correspondent David Cornock last month, the MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire described how the welfare system had provided a "genuine safety net at a time of crisis" for his family. "I had a mother who, as we got older, moved progressively from a position of complete welfare dependency to being fully economically independent, working full-time," he said. "And that has to be the model of the way the welfare system should work." Mr Crabb says his first political memory is the 1979 general election that brought Margaret Thatcher to power, and that witnessing her flagship right-to-buy policy on his street had a "huge impact" on him growing up. After attending Tasker Milward school in Haverfordwest, he studied at Bristol University, gaining a first-class degree in politics, joining the Conservative Party after graduating. He won his seat at the second attempt in 2005, and worked as a whip before becoming a minister in the Wales Office, where he was appointed secretary of state in July 2014. Mr Crabb, who is married with two children, lives near Haverfordwest and is a keen rugby player. He is the first Conservative cabinet minister for a century to have a beard - and David Cameron recently jokingly suggested he could be the next James Bond after comparing him to Hollywood star Russell Crowe. It's not the only role the new work and pensions secretary - who unlike Mr Duncan Smith supports the UK remaining in the European Union - has been tipped for. He is well thought-of in Conservative circles - and with David Cameron to stand down as party leader before the next election, some think he could be in line for a bigger promotion. Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson recently told the Daily Telegraph she would "find it very hard to vote for anyone else" if he was involved in a leadership contest, while the influential Conservative Home website says his promotion will boost his leadership prospects. "His political convictions were not forged on the playing fields of Eton and his summer job was working on a building site," WalesOnline's political editor David Williamson wrote last week, in an article asking whether Mr Crabb could be the man to unite the Tories after the EU referendum. Asked about leadership ambitions by the BBC's David Cornock, Mr Crabb said: "I don't think I have an ambition to become leader, really. "It doesn't feel that long ago in my life that the thought of becoming an MP seemed outlandish and unrealistic, so to find myself a few years ahead sitting at the cabinet table doing a job for Wales, I just feel incredibly blessed with that really." He went on to say he would fancy "a shot at doing something UK-wide" in the future. On the morning of his appointment, he tweeted about his "busy Saturday" including an advice surgery in Haverfordwest followed by Wales versus Italy in the Six Nations rugby. With his sudden elevation into one of the most high-profile jobs in cabinet, it has just got even busier. Children are being used as porters, guards, informers and fighters and, in some cases, as human shields, the charity said in Childhood Under Fire. Some two million children are in need of assistance in Syria, Save the Children estimates. It says the two-year conflict has affected all aspects of their lives. Researchers from Turkey found that three in every four Syrian children they interviewed had lost a loved one because of the fighting, the report says. Many have lost access to healthcare and are living in unsanitary conditions where the risk of disease is high. Their families are struggling for food as shortages send prices beyond the reach of poorer families. Their education has been disrupted as some 2,000 schools have either been damaged by the fighting or become temporary shelters for displaced people. Syria's children are the conflict's "forgotten victims - facing death, trauma and suffering, and deprived of basic humanitarian aid", the report said. Save the Children has appealed for international help, but said: "The only way to stop their suffering is to bring an end to the war." The report said it had found a growing pattern of children under the age of 18 being used by armed groups on both sides in the conflict. For many children and their families, it is seen as a source of pride, the report says, but some children are being forcibly recruited into military activities. In some cases, children as young as eight have been used as human shields, the report says. One group affiliated to the opposition has documented the deaths of at least 17 children associated with armed groups since the start of the conflict; many others have been severely injured and in some cases permanently disabled, the report also says. The research team at Bahcesehir University in Turkey found that not only had three in every four children they spoke to had lost a loved one, but one in every three children had been hit, kicked or shot at in the course of the conflict. "I don't think there is a single child untouched by this war," the report quotes a child called Safa as saying. "Everyone has seen death, everyone has lost someone. I know no one who has not suffered as we have. It is on such a scale." The Save the Children report echoes similar findings made public by the UN children's agency Unicef on Tuesday. Unicef warned of a lost generation in Syria, saying children under the age of 18 were growing up knowing nothing but violence, were being deprived of a right to an education and were suffering traumas that could scar them for life. As many as 70,000 people have died in the two-year conflict, the UN believes. More than a million Syrians have now been registered as refugees by the UN in neighbouring countries. So little wonder the new leader of the only party in Parliament with the word "liberal" in its title, who also happens to be a Christian, faces a few questions about how his politics and faith interact. Appearing on Channel 4 News, Tim Farron was asked three times if he believes homosexual sex is a sin. Three times, he didn't give a direct answer, instead choosing to say "my firm belief is we are all sinners". Plenty of Liberal Democrats who actively campaign for the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people have sought to offer Mr Farron their support. But others are worried. Still bruised by its crushing losses at the general election, Mr Farron's critics don't want to publicly clash with him just hours into his leadership. But those critics are there. "I was quite taken aback when I watched the interview, given he must have known he would be asked about it," a former Lib Dem MP told me. "The fact that he thinks we are all sinners isn't much comfort to those of us who firmly believe there's nothing wrong whatsoever with homosexuality," they said. "He needs to be honest about his Christian convictions, instead of trying to be too much like a politician about it. There are those of his faith and others that would agree with him, that it is a sin. He should say it. At least that would have the benefit of him being honest." Others within the party are concerned that Mr Farron's new status as a party leader, albeit one with only eight MPs, may mean this isn't the last time his own moral code, influenced by his faith, becomes political news. "I think the issue is, could a topic arise in which what was being asked in Parliament had some moral element to it? He may well have a dilemma of that kind," another senior party figure told me. "This is difficult for him, and will no doubt have provoked some soul searching," Lib Dem activist Sarah Brown told me. Sarah sits on the executive of LGBT+ Liberal Democrats, which describes itself as the party's "sexual and gender identity minorities group." A former city councillor in Cambridge, she was for many years the only openly transgender elected politician in the UK. "Tim is coming in for a lot of flak about this and is being singled out, but he is not a homophobe. I have talked to him about this," Sarah said, when she rang me back from her holiday, so keen was she to emphasise she was relaxed about Mr Farron's beliefs. Mathew Hulbert, a former Liberal Democrat councillor from Barwell in Leicestershire, whose Twitter profile includes a picture of him with Mr Farron, was unequivocal. "I am a gay man and I have 100% certainty that my friend Tim Farron supports my equality under the law. That's it," he wrote. Another Lib Dem and LGBT activist, Jordan Williams from Thanet in Kent, blamed what he called an "over dramatised media", writing: "Who knew that someone's faith obviously dictates whether they can lead a party or not." It is a point Mr Farron made himself on Channel 4 News. "It is a peculiar thing to say, that someone who happens to be a member of a religious group, who is a Christian, can't be a liberal. Exactly the opposite. "To be a member of a minority group of any kind is to understand in a very clear way why it is that every minority, every individual's rights matter." Intellectually, that is how Mr Farron ties together his religious and political beliefs. But some of his colleagues are fretting about the practical consequences of this for their party. "Our tradition in Parliament as Liberal Democrat MPs was to allow our colleagues on a range of issues which drew on our consciences to reach a decision on how to vote, and act, based on personal choice," a senior party figure told me. "I suspect our party's activists would take a less tolerant attitude," he said. And therein lies the personal - and political - challenge, for the new Liberal Democrat leader. Subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services such as Amazon's have sent shockwaves through the broadcast world, as they gain millions of new viewers each year and produce ever more of their own award-winning content. Netflix, the market leader, is now in over 15% of British homes, while Amazon's market share is about 5%. And new technologies that let us watch what we want on whatever device we want are transforming traditional television viewing habits. According to UK regulator Ofcom, household subscriptions to the top SVOD services - Netflix, Amazon Prime and Sky Now - shot up from 4.2 million to six million in the 12 months to March. Forecasts from Mintel suggest that UK streaming video subscription revenues will rocket from £437m to £1.17bn between 2014 and 2019 as users more than double. 199m estimated households by 2020 65m Netflix 40m Amazon Prime 9m Hulu 750,000 Sky Now TV For the broadcasters, this comes at a time when the number of people who own a TV set is falling in the UK and the long-term viability of the licence fee is in question. Research from media consultancy SNL Kagan has also found that in the US, take-up of cable, satellite and other pay-TV services is falling fast as lower-cost SVODs undercut them. Mark Mulligan, an analyst at media consultancy Midia, says that Netflix and Amazon have big advantages over broadcasters in their ability to target programmes at specific audiences and lavish budgets "measured in the billions" on their productions. "A traditional cable company has to worry about filling entire programming schedules of a vast selection of channels - SVOD companies have no schedules at all," he says. "So they can afford to be highly selective about what they want to commission and then pay over the odds to get it." Last year, director of BBC television, Danny Cohen, admitted the corporation had been "blown out of the water" when bidding against Netflix in one deal. And Mr Clarkson's new driving show on Amazon Prime - with its global subscriber base of 40 million - is reported to have a budget of about £160m for just three seasons. No wonder Amazon founder Jeff Bezos recently admitted that the show will be "very, very, very expensive". The difficulty for SVOD services in the past was that you could only watch the programmes on a laptop or desktop, which meant they weren't ideal for collective family viewing. Now internet-enabled smart TVs are bridging the gap, and new technologies, such as Amazon's Fire Stick and Google's Chromecast, are enabling viewers to beam content wirelessly from any connected device to their TV sets with relative ease. Many cable TV services, such as Virgin's Tivo, also offer Netflix as part of their packages, again widening access. But SVOD's Achilles heel is currently internet bandwidth - or lack of it. Average download speeds in the UK are still around 23 megabits per second (Mbps), so viewing SVOD on more than one device at the same time can lead to jerky, stuttering pictures, says Michael Underhill, an analyst at media consultancy Enders. When you think about all the connected devices in the average home fighting for a share of bandwidth, ultrafast wi-fi connections - 100Mbps and above - are likely to be needed for SVOD to continue its rapid growth. And it's important to put SVOD growth numbers in context. Such services accounted for about 3% of total UK viewing in 2014, while around 90% went to live, recorded and on-demand television - the domains of the traditional broadcasters and cable channels. "For all the impressive headlines that companies like Netflix and Amazon generate, they are still only used by a minority of the population," says Enders' Mr Underhill. "While Netflix dramas like House of Cards generate a lot of attention, the majority of viewing on these platforms goes to existing broadcast content," he adds. "So the content that people like the BBC and ITV have funded and created has gone some way to making Netflix as popular as it is." For now, SVOD platforms are mostly a "complementary" form of viewing, says Ofcom, used primarily to access films and US TV shows. They also face fierce competition from mainstream and cable channels, which are themselves offering new digital services, not to mention from recorded TV and free video-on-demand services like YouTube. "SVOD is just one reflection of an overall media landscape that's in the midst of fundamental change," says Phil Stokes, a media expert at PwC. "In part, the traditional broadcasters are capitalising on changing viewing habits and the opportunities from technology by launching their own time-shifted catch-up channels, families of channels, mobile apps and video platforms." Another point Mr Underhill makes is that services like Netflix have largely produced dramas which, despite critical acclaim, do not attract the mega audiences of shows like Downton Abbey or Strictly Come Dancing. "Platforms like Netflix have shown no interest in commissioning shows like the X-Factor or The Only Way is Essex or Springwatch, or indeed live sport or news," he says. "In these areas TV broadcasting companies are producing the bulk of content and accounting for a large share of audiences." "Whereas Top Gear will likely reinvent itself after a few years without Clarkson, it is much less likely that Clarkson's brand will be as robust after a few years hidden behind the online pay walls of an SVOD service," believes Midia's Mark Mulligan. While Chris Evans may not need to be too worried just yet, PwC's Phil Stokes warns that broadcasters cannot afford to be complacent. "They must innovate constantly," he says. The quadruple rollover jackpot has gone unclaimed since the draw on 17 December, and the six-month deadline is set to expire. Five winning tickets in the draw shared a prize pot of more than £15m. If the winner does not come forward in time, the prize money and the interest it has generated will go towards lottery funded projects across the UK. National Lottery bosses have staged a series of events in a bid to track down the mystery winner, who bought their ticket in the Stirling Council area, so far to no avail. The winning ticket matched five numbers from the six drawn - 2, 19, 24, 33, 35, 46 - and the bonus ball, 12. She became the first British gymnast to win all-around gold at a major international championship on Friday. Congrats, Ellie, who's won a total of four medals at the competition in Romania. Here are 10 things you might not know about the 17-year-old superstar... Her first big success was at the 2012 School Games where she won six gold medals. A year later, when she was 15 (and already pretty busy with GCSEs), Ellie took bronze at the European Championships in France. It made her the first female gymnast ever to win an individual all-around medal for Great Britain. She finished 13th in the all-around final. ...instead of in their boxes. It's so that she can see them all the time! She's not brilliant at everything! She's said that she's really bad at swimming, and uses a floatie. Her big sister Becky is another Olympian and European champion in the uneven bars. Ellie used to watch Becky training. When she was eight, she watched Becky competing in the Beijing Olympics, so it's no wonder she was inspired to do the same! In a typical day, she does two sessions, each 2-3 hours long. She's taken time out of education so that she can fully concentrate on gymnastics. Even though Ellie is seven years younger than Becky, Ellie sometimes gets mistaken for the older sister because she's taller! The Conwy man signed the Organ Donor Register in the 1980s after a friend died in a motoring accident. When he died suddenly of a brain haemorrhage in 2012, his wife Glenys said this decision made a very traumatic time slightly easier. In December, Wales will be the first UK country to introduce a soft opt-out system for organ and tissue donation. This system of deemed consent means that if you have not opted out, you will be regarded as having no objection to being an organ donor. Mrs Price, 71, said that even though her husband's death at the age of 74 was "a complete shock", they had discussed organ donation and it was something that was important to them. She said that knowing Harry's life was giving life to others made things slightly more bearable, adding: "The person who received his liver was able to give their daughter away at her wedding." Mrs Price said she was "touched" to receive an Order of St John Award on her husband's behalf, which recognised the gift of life he had given. Ahead of deemed consent becoming law, the Organ Donation Wales Time to Talk public awareness campaign has been launched, encouraging people to discuss their organ donation wishes with their loved ones. Meeting in Paris, delegations agreed to put the project, which has experienced serial delays, on to a fresh schedule. They also injected an immediate extra sum of €77m (£59m), which will keep the ExoMars robot in development while a full and final solution to its financial problems is sought. The aim is to have all matters resolved for a meeting of ministers in December. Dr David Parker is the agency's director of human spaceflight and robotic exploration. He told BBC News: "The challenges were set out to member states, and in the council meeting [on Wednesday] they were asked the fundamental questions: how important is this project; do you want to continue? And the very, very clear message came back that this remains a high priority for scientific and technological reasons." ExoMars is actually a two-part programme that is being implemented jointly with the Russians. The first phase is a satellite to study the Red Planet's atmosphere, and this was launched successfully in March. But the second phase - a rover that can drill 2m into the surface of Mars to search for signs of life - has had a roller-coaster of a ride since it was first approved as a concept back in 2005. Planned launch dates have repeatedly been missed, with yet another slip, from 2018 to 2020, announced in May. The inability of teams to meet hardware delivery deadlines was cited as the reason for this latest delay. Delegations to Wednesday's council meeting at Esa HQ were briefed on the details and the actions that would make the new target date of 2020 achievable. "The first critical step has been to re-establish a realistic technical schedule and contingency, both on the European side and with Russian colleagues at Roscosmos (Russian space agency) and their contractor Lavochkin. That's very good news," explained Dr Parker. But, equally, the continuing financial uncertainty facing the project had to be brought to a close, he added. To this end, the "big four" in Esa - France, Germany, Italy and the UK - have agreed to the immediate injection of €77m. Italy (€34m) and the UK (€19m) committed the most as their industries (Thales Alenia in Turin and Airbus in Stevenage) are the prime contractors. This quick cash ensures development work taking place in labs and factories can continue uninterrupted. The more vexing issue is the overall shortfall in the ExoMars programme budget. Dr Parker declined to specify the exact scale of this money gap because he said there were still some sensitivities around the negotiation of a final manufacturing price with industry. What is known is that the full end price of ExoMars - for both the satellite and rover - is going to be around €1.56bn. And that is a good deal higher than the €1.25bn member states were expecting to have to pay back in 2012. "There will now be a set of steps to demonstrate progress on the rover mission, and we will propose to member states thereafter a complete financial package to finish the job for when they meet in Lucerne (at the Council of Ministers) in December. These will be subscriptions within the exploration programme," said Dr Parker. "In the meantime, it's full speed ahead on the technical side and I have to say, from what I've seen, the teams are working very hard; they're very dedicated. All the trips they make back and forth to Russia and to speak with their suppliers - it's an impressive machine." [email protected] and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos Exposure to a dog in the first year of life was linked to a 13% lower risk of asthma in later childhood among the 650,000 children the authors tracked. The findings, in JAMA Pediatrics, support the idea that pets can bolster the immune system and prevent allergy. More evidence is still needed - past studies have found conflicting results. Certainly, for a child who is already allergic to dogs, buying a puppy would not be a good idea, say the Swedish researchers. Pets are a common cause of allergy, with half of all asthmatic children allergic to cats and 40% allergic to dogs, according to the charity Allergy UK. When animals groom themselves, they lick. Skin cells covered in saliva - animal dander - are shed along with loose fur. It's the dander to which some people become sensitised. The findings of this latest study suggest exposure to dog dander in infancy might actually be beneficial. Children who had grown up with a dog in their home were less likely to have asthma at the age of seven than children without dogs. Living on a farm with lots of animals seemed to confer even more protection, cutting the risk of asthma by about 50%. Lead scientist Prof Tove Fall, from Uppsala University in Sweden, said: "Our results confirmed the farming effect and we also saw that children who grew up with dogs had about 15% less asthma than children without dogs." She said this fits with the hygiene hypothesis which favours exposure to dust and dirt to improve our tolerance of common allergens. The findings should also provide some reassurance for parents. "That's important information for parents who are pregnant or are planning to have a baby, that they should not worry about getting a dog or a puppy if they would like to. "But if you have an allergic child you should not get a dog to cure your child. It won't work and will probably make the allergy worse." If you are allergic and live with pets, there are things you can do to cut your risk of having an allergic reaction. Asthma UK advises: Amena Warner of Allergy UK said: "There have been a few studies that have alluded to this but not such a longitudinal study with so many children so from that point of view this is quite a powerful study. It's very welcome." Erika Kennington of Asthma UK, said more research was needed to better understand the effects so that it could be turned into practical advice for parents of young children. Murray and Australian John Peers beat Jonathan Erlich and Philipp Petzschner 4-6 6-3 6-4 6-2 to reach their first Grand Slam men's doubles final. The 13th seeds were helped by Erlich struggling with a knee injury. Jamie's younger brother Andy lost to Roger Federer in his singles semi-final on Friday. Jamie Murray, who won the mixed doubles title at SW19 in 2007, has never reached this stage of the men's competition before in any Grand Slam. With his mother Judy looking on, the 29-year-old and Peers, 26, were impressive winners. They will play Dutchman Jean-Julien Roger and Romanian Horia Tecau in Saturday's final on Centre Court. Murray said: "We got off to a slow start, especially me. We were helped out by Erlich struggling but we had to put it out of our minds. "It will be a great match for Andy tomorrow, they have played so many times and I am sure tomorrow will be no different. "People come and talk to me because they want to talk about Andy, which is fair enough. That's how it goes. I accept that." When Murray won the mixed doubles in 2007 with Serb Jelena Jankovic, the pair split prize money of £90,000. The Scot began playing with Peers two and a half years ago and they have won five Tour titles together. Reaching the final at Wimbledon means they are guaranteed prize money of at least £85,000 each. Murray said: "We are getting our rewards and we are excited to be here." The Argentina defender failed to declare 1.5m euros in earnings in 2011 and 2012, state prosecutors said. He admitted to the charges in a court appearance in Gava, near Barcelona, lasting less than five minutes. Mascherano - who has played for Barcelona since 2010 - is the latest high-profile footballer to come under scrutiny from Spanish tax authorities. He is alleged to have attempted to conceal earnings from his image rights by using companies he owns in Portugal and the US. A court filing released last month confirmed the player had repaid 1.75m euros - the full amount plus interest - and he may end up paying a fine and avoiding a trial. "Mascherano admitted the facts of the two counts of tax fraud, so there was no need to interrogate him," said a judicial source. The star was handed a two-game ban on Wednesday after he insulted the referee in Barcelona's 3-1 win over Eibar last weekend. In a separate case, Mascherano's team-mate Lionel Messi is set to stand trial alongside his father for tax fraud totalling 4.16m euros - also relating to image rights. The avalanche struck on Friday in an area just above Everest base camp at 5,800m (19,000ft). The guides had climbed up the slope early that morning to fix ropes for climbers and prepare the route. It was the single deadliest accident in modern mountaineering on the world's highest peak. "We have decided to stop the search for the missing. We have been unable to identify the location of bodies and at this stage it is difficult to find them in the snow," tourism ministry official Dipendra Paudel told the AFP news agency. The avalanche struck a passage called the Khumbu Icefall, which is riddled with crevasses and large ice boulders that can break free without warning. Although relatively low on the mountain, climbers say it is one of its most dangerous points - but there are no safer paths along the famous South Col route first scaled by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. An injured survivor told his relatives that the path was unstable just before the avalanche hit. Sherpas often make 20-25 round trips to carry kit and supplies to advanced camps, exposing them to greater risk. The most endangered are the so-called Icefall Doctors - a team that maintains and fixes the route. It was the first major avalanche of this year's climbing season on Everest, which has been scaled by more than 3,000 climbers. The rising number of tourists has raised concerns about safety and environmental damage, although Nepal still plans to cut fees from next year for those wishing to make the climb. The government has issued permits to 334 foreign climbers this season, up from 328 for the whole of last year. An equal number of guides also climb to help the foreign mountaineers. Some 250 climbers have died on the mountain, which is on the border between Nepal and the Chinese region of Tibet and can be climbed from both sides. Police were called to Nuthurst Park in Moston, Manchester, just before 18:55 BST on Saturday. Greater Manchester Police said officers responded to reports of a girl being raped. A boy was arrested in a nearby shop. The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was remanded to appear at Manchester Crown Court on 10 July. Dressed in a grey tracksuit, he stood in the dock and spoke only to give his name and address during the five-minute hearing at Manchester Youth Court. Only reporters and lawyers were present in court along with the defendant's mother and father, who sat in the public gallery holding hands. No plea was entered by the defendant, the court heard, and there was no application for bail. As he remanded the teenager in custody, District Judge Mark Hadfield told him: "This charge is an extremely serious charge." The defendant smiled and nodded to his parents as he was taken down. Pro-Hezbollah media said the forces were attacking the Jroud Arsal area and Qalamoun mountains from two directions. The area is home to about 1,000 militants, including Islamic State (IS) group and al-Qaeda's former affiliate. The operation has raised fears for the safety of thousands of Syrian refugees around nearby Arsal in Lebanon. Earlier this week, Lebanon's prime minister said the army was preparing its own offensive against militants, who have used Arsal's refugee camps as a safe haven. Last month, five militants blew themselves up as troops searched camps for suspects and weapons. A young girl was killed and three soldiers wounded by the blasts. Hezbollah-affiliated media said the operation to flush out "armed terrorists" would carry on indefinitely. It said Syrian forces and Hezbollah shelled the area, then advanced from Flita on the Syrian side of the border and from the south of Arsal, on the Lebanese side. Television pictures showed columns of smoke rising as Hezbollah fired artillery towards hills where the militants are based. Hundreds of militants belonging to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), formerly al-Qaeda's official branch in Syria, are believed to be in Jroud Arsal, and a similar number of IS fighters are thought to be in a neighbouring area. Reuters news agency quoted an unnamed Lebanese security source as saying refugees were fleeing towards Arsal. The area around Arsal is home to tens of thousands of refugees from the war in Syria. The influx has heightened sectarian tensions inside Lebanon since the conflict began in 2011. A Sunni enclave surrounded by Shia villages, Arsal was the scene of an attack in 2014, when more than two dozen Lebanese security force members were seized by militants from al-Qaeda and IS who had crossed the border from Syria. Sixteen have since been released and four killed by their captors. Its most recent Companies House filing shows the company as making a pre-tax loss of £28.5m last year, but the firm also paid its 362 UK staff a total of £35.4m in share bonuses. The share bonuses amount to £96,000 on average per UK Facebook employee. It means Facebook's UK corporation tax bill was less than the tax the average UK employee paid on their salary. The average UK salary is £26,500 on which employees pay a total of £5,392.80 in income tax and national insurance contributions. In January, Facebook reported global fourth-quarter profits of $701m (£462m), a 34% increase on the same period a year earlier. Total profits for the year were $2.9bn, almost double its profit for 2013. Facebook said at the time that advertising revenue grew by 53% to $3.59bn, with nearly 70% of that coming from mobile ad sales. The social networking giant says it now has 1.39 billion active users each month, a 13% increase from a year ago. The latest revelations will reignite the debate about how much UK corporation tax companies pay at a time when several multinational corporations are being investigated by the European Commission over the tax arrangements they have with European Union member states. Google, Amazon, a division of the Fiat motor company and Starbucks are all subject to the investigation and the European Commission has said it could widen its probe further. The investigation came after Starbucks was revealed to have paid just £8.6m in UK corporation tax in the 14 years between 1998 and 2012, despite making more than £3bn in UK sales in the same period. Last week, EU finance ministers agreed to boost information sharing in response to the so-called LuxLeaks scandal that emerged last year. The scandal showed Luxembourg had issued hundreds of tax rulings allowing companies to lower their tax bill by funnelling their profits through the country. A spokesperson for Facebook said: "We are compliant with UK tax law, and in fact in all countries where we have operations and offices. We continue to grow our business activities in the UK." They added that all the firm's employees paid UK income tax on their payouts. The company recently secured the lease on a high-profile 227,324 sq ft office space in Rathbone Square, near Tottenham Court Road in London, where it plans to open a new headquarters in 2017. John O'Connell, director of the Taxpayers' Alliance, a think tank that campaigns for lower taxes and highlights examples of government waste, said: "Taxpayers will be justifiably confused and angry about this tax bill. But Facebook is right to say that it is complying with UK law, which shows that the problem lies with our complex tax code, and that is what politicians should address as a matter of urgency. "We have to ensure our taxes are simple to eliminate loopholes, and that taxes are low to increase our competitiveness, so that companies choose to base themselves here." Conservative MP Mark Garnier, a member of Parliament's Treasury Select Committee told the BBC that even if companies were not breaking any laws, they should think about their moral responsibility. "It's about the spirit of the law versus the letter of the law. At the end of the day tax evasion is illegal, when you're deliberately setting out to not pay your tax by hiding your money," he said. "Tax planning is what most people will be doing with their pensions. And tax avoidance is where you take the letter of the law, to get around the spirit of the law, where you're actively seeking a way of using the letters to not pay tax." In his March Budget, Chancellor George Osborne pressed ahead with plans to introduce a diverted profits tax on companies that moved their profits overseas. He added that firms that aided tax evasion would also face new penalties and criminal prosecutions. The so-called "Google Tax" is designed to discourage large companies diverting profits out of the UK to avoid tax. And last week, an OECD/G20 report found that laws allowing companies to shift profits to low-tax jurisdictions meant between $100bn and $240bn was lost in tax revenues every year - equivalent to between 4% and 10% of global corporate tax revenues. Cracks - thought to be caused by persistent rain - began to appear on Old Beer Road in Seaton on Wednesday. Within 48 hours part of the road had collapsed and Devon County Council is now concerned more of the road could disappear. The South West Coast Path is being diverted from the route and diversion signs put in place. Members of the public have been urged to stay away from the "potentially dangerous" road. Bob Spalding, who lives in Seaton, uses the road every day to walk into Beer. He contacted the council after noticing hairline cracks on Wednesday, which he photographed. "The next day the cracks were alarmingly worse and you can see by today's photograph what has happened since," he said. "Fortunately it's no longer the main road, but is mainly used by local people going to Beer." Mr Spalding said the road was only resurfaced a few months ago, which is why the signs of erosion were so visible. The council said the road had dropped by about 1m (about 3ft) in the past 24 hours and barriers had been put up to prevent any access. Councillor Stuart Hughes, the council's highways and transportation cabinet member, said: "This section of road is moving and is potentially dangerous so I would ask people to steer clear and please respect the barriers that are there for your safety. "The road will remain shut while we assess how much more of the road could move, but if the wet weather continues further damage could be caused so it is not safe for people to get too close." Thomas Fox, 29, of Rutland Court in Dublin, is charged with unlawful possession of a handgun. The offence is alleged to have happened at Avondale House on 23 May, the day before Gareth Hutch was killed in the same area. Gardaí (Irish police) asked that Mr Fox be remanded in custody for a week. Chief Supt Pat Leahy told the court gardaí were objecting to bail due to the nature and seriousness of the charge. He said the offence carries a potential sentence of up to 14 years in prison and he said a further more serious charge may be brought against Thomas Fox. Defence solicitor Yvonne Bambury told the judge that her client had presented himself voluntarily to gardaí, which was "highly unusual" in such circumstances. She said he did not appear to be a man who did not intend to stand trial. He has no valid passport and would undertake not to apply for any travel documents. She said his partner was due a baby in six weeks' time. Gareth Hutch, 35, was shot dead outside flats on North Cumberland Street in Dublin, where he lived, on 24 May. His murder is believed to be the seventh connected to a feud between two criminal gangs. A woman was remanded in custody accused of withholding information on Tuesday. Mary McDonnell, 44, of Avondale House on North Cumberland Street, was charged with failing to disclose information that could assist police. She was remanded in custody to appear in court again on 7 June. Gareth Hutch was the nephew of Gerard Hutch, a notorious Dublin criminal known as The Monk. Six people have died in the greater Dublin area since February as a result of a violent dispute between the Hutch and Kinahan gangs. Earlier this month Patrick Hutch became the first man to be charged with one of the murders. He is accused of killing David Byrne in a shooting at a boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel in Dublin in February. The murder of Gerard Hutch's brother, Gary, in Spain last year is believed to have been the first death in the feud. Media playback is not supported on this device The 1-0 win over Crystal Palace saw them rise to 17th, and they have now picked up eight points from 12. "We must keep the momentum," said manager Rafael Benitez, with a trip to relegated Aston Villa next week. Sunderland are a point behind after a 1-1 draw at Stoke and Norwich are two adrift after their 1-0 loss at Arsenal. Both the Black Cats and the Canaries have a game in hand on Newcastle. Could the appointment of Benitez prove to be owner Mike Ashley's greatest signing since he took control of Newcastle in 2007? With £100m the reward for Premier League status next season, Ashley took the plunge and sacked Steve McClaren in March with the team in 19th position. It took four matches for the former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss to get his first win, but now it is no defeats in the past four. Andros Townsend scored a brilliant winner against Palace on Saturday, but Benitez also had keeper Karl Darlow to thank for saving Yohan Cabaye's second-half penalty. "The win could be important for us," said Benitez. "I'm sure it's important for the fans and everyone now when you see the table. But we still have to keep going. "We know that we have to approach the next game against Aston Villa like another final, and that's it. We cannot look too much at the table - we just have to be sure that the next game, we will be ready." Media playback is not supported on this device Sam Allardyce's Sunderland side required Jermain Defoe's stoppage-time penalty to rescue a point at Stoke. The Wearsiders have now drawn their last two games and have only won one match in the past nine. Commenting on Newcastle's win, Allardyce said: "Those things are not in our control. "What's in our control is making sure that we try and win next week [against Chelsea] and then make the game in hand really count against Everton. "That's our big task in the next two games. If we can hold our nerve, we have the capabilities to see if we can try and do the escape that this club has done for the last two or three years." Media playback is not supported on this device Alex Neil's Norwich have stuttered in recent weeks. They have now lost their past three Premier League games, the latest loss coming at Arsenal where the Gunners' Danny Welbeck scored the only goal as a second-half substitute. Having hovered just above the relegation zone over the past four weeks, they are now down to 19th. "The last thing you can do down in the dogfight is feel sorry for yourselves," said the Canaries' Scottish manager. "We didn't get what we deserved at Arsenal. We need three displays like that in the next three games. If you start worrying about the maths and what other people are doing then it'll drive you crazy." He added: "Newcastle are a different kettle of fish because they've only two games left but I think it's unlikely Sunderland will win their three remaining games. "We just have to try and take as many points as we can." She can create a protective force field around herself - an impenetrable bubble. She can also make herself invisible. Businesses trying to ward off millions of dangerous cyber-attacks in an increasingly connected world probably wish they had the same superpower. Well, perhaps now, they do. A cybersecurity firm called Bromium reckons its technology can protect laptop and desktop users in large organisations against malware hidden in email attachments and compromised websites. It does this through a process called micro-virtualisation. Every time you open a document or visit a website, Bromium creates a mini protected virtual environment for each task - like a series of Violet's bubbles. Even if you've clicked on an email link containing a virus, there's nowhere for that malware to go because it is isolated within its bubble. It cannot infect the rest of the machine or penetrate the corporate network. Bromium co-founder and president Ian Pratt, who sold his first company XenSource to Citrix for $500m (£398m) in 2007, says it has taken his firm six years to perfect the product. "This is by far the hardest thing I've done by miles," he tells the BBC. One helpful development was when the big computer chip makers, such as Intel and Arm, began producing chips that had virtualisation capability built in to them. "We've created a billion virtual machines since we started - no bad stuff has ever escaped from one of them," says Mr Pratt. The technology has proved popular with intelligence services and other government agencies, he says. "The US intelligence services tend to compartmentalise data from secret sources using separate banks of computers. Now, using virtualisation, they can keep secret data separate and secure virtually on one computer," he says. One computer can have 50 virtual machines (VMs) running at the same time without much loss in performance speed, he says, although a typical user will have five to 10 running concurrently. It is this ability to create VMs instantly without much drain on the computer processor's resources that is one of the product's main advantages, he believes. At the World Economic Forum's recent Davos summit, a cybersecurity roundtable discussion revealed that the biggest banks can now expect up to two billion cyber-attacks a year; retailers, a mere 200 million. And recent research from IT consultancy Capgemini finds that only 21% of financial service organisations are "highly confident" they could detect a data breach. Unfortunately, despite all the latest firewalls and antivirus software, it is we humans who are the weakest link in any organisation's security defences. Despite all the warnings, we still click on email links and attachments, download software to enable us to watch that cute kitten video, and visit websites we probably shouldn't - even while at work. Virtualisation is one defence against such attacks. Prof Giovanni Vigna is a director of the University of California in Santa Barbara's cybersecurity centre and co-founder of malware detection company, Lastline. He says: "Virtualisation is a very effective way of containing the effects of an attack because it isolates the bad stuff, and that's awesome," he says. But it is not a "silver bullet", he warns. "It won't prevent users from giving away sensitive security data in targeted spear phishing attacks," he says. This is where staff are hoodwinked into giving away security details because hackers have collated enough personal details to make an email or document look entirely official and convincing. This type of manipulation - called social engineering - is still "very effective", says Prof Vigna. "It's difficult to protect against human stupidity." Bromium's Ian Pratt accepts that this is a limitation of virtualisation, but he maintains: "In 80% of cases hackers are gaining access to enterprise networks through staff clicking on dodgy links. "Our system limits the damage that can be caused. We're trying to make these attacks far more expensive to execute." Traditional anti-virus (AV) software works by identifying malware signatures and adding them to the huge database. Once a known signature has been detected it can then quarantine and delete the suspect program. The problem with this approach, however, is that it's reactive and does nothing to prevent previously unknown attacks made by new forms of malware, many of which can evolve within an infected system and evade the AV software. One cybersecurity firm trying to tackle this issue is Invincea, which describes its X product as "machine learning next-generation antivirus". It aims to detect and stop malware without relying on signatures. It learns how suspect programs look and behave when compared to legitimate programs and other known forms of malware. And if a suspect file exceeds a risk threshold it is quarantined or deleted. The deluxe version of Invincea's product also ensures that all links and attachments are opened in a virtual isolated environment - it's own version of Violet's bubble. "Invincea is a major competitor to Bromium," says Prof Vigna. "The advantage is that is works on CPUs [central processing units] that don't support micro-virtualisation, so it can be used in organisations with older computers." Microsoft has also been exploring the benefits of virtualisation. Its next major Windows 10 update will enable users to run the Edge browser within a protected virtual machine environment. Prof Alan Woodward from the University of Surrey's computer science department thinks the tech giant could go further. "Virtualisation is a neat idea," he says. "Lots of people are taking it very seriously. My personal suspicion is that someone like Microsoft may well try to build it into their operating system [OS] directly." Although we have much better malware detection systems these days, we - "the squidgy bit in the chair", as Prof Woodward calls us - remain the most vulnerable point in this cybersecurity warfare. Can we develop a version of Violet's bubble to protect us from ourselves? Follow Matthew on Twitter and Facebook Click here for more Technology of Business features Mercedes signed the Finn this week after agreeing a deal to buy him out of his Williams contract to replace Rosberg, who retired after winning last year's world title. Wolff said: "Lewis said he thought Valtteri was a nice guy. "One of the guys he actually got along with well in Formula 1 and he felt he was a good option." Wolff, who was talking to Finnish commentator Oskari Saari for a podcast, said he believed there might be less tension between Hamilton and the 27-year-old Finn than there was between the triple world champion and Rosberg. "I think that works well," he added. "It was OK already between Nico and Lewis, but there was the luggage of the past... Now it is a completely new relationship and there is no animosity. "There will be moments where it is going to be difficult, but I think that how the personalities are for the team it's going to be a good situation and one that is maybe a bit easier to handle than the past. But I could be wrong." BBC Sport revealed on Monday that Bottas had signed a one-year contract, with options to extend it into subsequent seasons. Wolff said that was because a number of leading drivers' contracts were up for renewal at the end of the 2017 season - including multiple world champions Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso of Ferrari and McLaren - and Mercedes wanted to keep their options open. "We wouldn't have chosen Valtteri if we thought that he was not good enough to continue with the team," said Wolff. "But, as a matter of fact, the market is very dynamic at the moment. Next year options open - young drivers, Sebastian, Fernando, Valtteri, many of them. So it is about understanding that - and Valtteri does. "Equally we have great faith and confidence in him that he can stay with us for a long time, but now we need to see how the season goes." Kevin McGuigan Sr, 53, was murdered at his home at Comber Court in the Short Strand last Wednesday. Three men, aged 53, 44 and 41, were arrested on Tuesday morning over the murder. Fr John Nevin spoke out against the murder during the Requiem Mass at St Matthew's Church in Belfast. "The only thing that all of us can take from this terrible tragedy and from today's funeral Mass is that violence does not solve problems," Fr Nevin told the hundreds of mourners. "Violence and war and revenge do not solve problems, but create more - the circle goes on." Fr Nevin said he had visited the victim's family on Monday and they had questioned the killing. "I have no answers for these tragedies that wreck families," the priest said. He added that there had been hundreds of cards at the house and that "this says something about Kevin and his family". "There is a lot of love, gratitude, appreciation for all the good Kevin did in life." Police believe two men shot Mr McGuigan several times in the head and chest at point blank range before running off. He was buried in the City cemetery. The concept device boasts three 4K screens and is said to be the first portable laptop of its kind. Razer said the laptops had gone missing from its booth at the tech show on Sunday. The incident was being taken "very seriously", said chief executive Min-Liang Tan. A Razer spokesman said it was offering $25,000 (£20,600) for any "original information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction" of those allegedly involved in the crime. "Our teams worked months on end to conceptualise and develop these units," Mr Tan said in a post on his official Facebook page. "It is cheating, and cheating doesn't sit well with us. Anyone who would do this clearly isn't very smart." A spokeswoman for the Consumer Technology Association, which runs CES, confirmed to the BBC that two laptops had been reported as stolen. "We express our regrets," she said. "The security of our exhibitors, attendees and their products and materials are our highest priority. "We use a wide variety of security measures at our show to combat theft. "For example, we delay labour coming on the show floor until an hour after the show closes so that exhibitors have a chance to secure product before dismantling their booths." More from the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2017 Razer debuts gaming laptop with three screens Las Vegas's biggest launches Smart hairbrush listens for breaking hair Meet Olly - the personal robot Headquartered in California, Razer was started by Singaporean entrepreneur Min-Liang Tan. The brand enjoys a cult status among the gaming community, and gamers from around the world expressed their excitement about the device which is part of the firms Project Valerie. "Razer always finds a way to outclass other brands. No offense to people who like other products," said Jason Vicencio. "This device is a dream come true for every gamer on the go, no more having to cram graphics and line of vision into just one screen," commented Artie Derilo. "I would love to open this up on an airplane while sitting in the middle seat," joked Marvin England But other Facebook users like Malachy Hamilton questioned its design. "What's the point in three screens? The point of a laptop is portability and being able to do work and some light gaming on the go," he said. "For this, you'd need a beefy battery which would increase the weight, therefore making it less of a laptop." Project Valerie is still a prototype and Razer has not yet published a possible release date or price. Todd Prince, gaming reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal who was at the event, told the BBC the theft was a surprise, given the tight security. "There were cameras all over the place and how someone was actually able to get this out was a bit of a surprise, that someone would even take that risk," he said. But the bigger question for some sceptical social media users was if the entire incident was a "publicity stunt". "If I had some crazy laptop design that I wanted to go viral, I'd claim it had been stolen for free exposure," suggested Facebook user Jon Macleod. But Mr Prince dismissed this idea. "Considering how much publicity this product already had gotten before the convention even started, everyone was already talking and writing about it," he said. "To me, it doesn't seem like Razer would need that much more publicity." "This morning I'm pleasantly surprised that at 09:00 (06:00 GMT), since midnight, we haven't had a single shot fired," Stepan Poltorak said. It is the first time there has been a true halt to fighting in 11 months, says BBC correspondent Tom Burridge. The truce was agreed with pro-Russian rebels and international mediators. It marks the start of a new school year in Donetsk and Luhansk. Eastern Ukraine has seen some of its worst violence for months in recent weeks, and there was heavy shelling last weekend. On Monday international monitors from the OSCE security organisation reported nearly 1,000 explosions in the Donetsk region in just 24 hours - a big spike in fighting along the front line. Most took place in an area north of Donetsk airport and between the villages of Avdiivka and Yasynuvata. The neighbouring Luhansk region also saw a big increase in the number of blasts at the weekend. Ukraine says massive Russian military exercises near the border have exacerbated tension. Meanwhile, the UK government has added its voice to international appeals for Russia to release a Crimean Tatar leader, Ilmi Umerov, from a psychiatric unit and give him the medical care he needs. He is reported to be suffering from diabetes and Parkinson's disease. Russia has prosecuted several key Crimean Tatar activists since its annexation of Crimea in March 2014. The Muslim Tatars, like the Ukrainian government, view Russia's annexation as a flagrant breach of international law. Crimean Tatars uneasy under Russia rule Why are Russia-Ukraine tensions high over Crimea? On Wednesday Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko said France and Germany - the Western powers that brokered a peace deal in Minsk in February 2015 - had backed Ukraine's call for a ceasefire starting on 1 September. He said he was awaiting a response from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kiev and the West accuse Moscow of arming the rebels and sending Russian regular troops to help them. The Kremlin denies deploying troops, but admits that Russian volunteers have been fighting alongside the rebels. A spokeswoman for Ukraine's delegation to the ceasefire talks, Darya Olifer, said more than 150,000 children were attending school in Ukrainian-held areas of Donbass, the industrial region that includes Donetsk and Luhansk. "We insist that all children in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, wherever they live, have a right to care and security," she said. More than 9,500 people - including many civilians - have been killed in the two regions since the pro-Russian insurgents took over a large swathe of territory in April 2014. Despite the ceasefire agreed in Minsk in February 2015, there have been violations by both sides on an almost daily basis. St Alban's RC School in Pontypool, Torfaen may have to remain shut on Monday after the tree fell overnight. Head teacher Michael Coady said the canteen and large parts of the school were "out of action". Torfaen Council's property services team are at the scene removing the evergreen tree and clearing up. The council said it hoped the school would reopen on Monday but it depended on how long the clear-up took. Opener John Hastings hit a fifty off just 19 balls to help the Rapids to 190-7. Dom Sibley made 49 on his Bears debut, but New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner took 3-16 to restrict the hosts to 185-7. Worcestershire are now five points off a top-four place with five matches remaining, while the defeat ends a four-game winning run for the second-placed Bears. Elsewhere in the North Group, table-toppers Derbyshire lost by eight runs to East Midlands neighbours Nottinghamshire Outlaws and Durham defended 157 to beat Yorkshire by one run. In an evening of tight finishes, Lancashire also maintained their chances of going through to the knockout stages with a four-run victory at Leicestershire. In the South Group, Glamorgan stayed at the top with an impressive six-run win against Surrey at The Oval and Chris Nash's unbeaten 73 took Sussex to a five-wicket victory against Kent. Essex Eagles are still bottom despite overcoming Hampshire at Southampton, while Gloucestershire earned a seven-wicket win against Somerset. In front of a raucous crowd in Birmingham, Hastings and fellow opener Joe Clarke (34) were dominant in the first six overs, clearing the ropes eight times. The Powerplay included five sixes in a row off Colin de Grandhomme and Boyd Rankin as they raced to 83-1 - New Zealand all-rounder De Grandhomme receiving particularly heavy punishment going for 30 off his only over. Hastings eventually lost his wicket one ball after reaching fifty, swiping Jeetan Patel to Aaron Thomason in the deep, and Worcestershire stumbled in the rest of their innings to 190. Sibley, who moved from Surrey to Edgbaston on Thursday, set a fine platform for the Bears' response, but once he was out to a superb diving catch by Santner, the required run-rate climbed and the hosts fell short. Bristol is just 45 miles from Taunton, which normally means hopping on the coach and perhaps allowing an hour and a half for Friday traffic. However, an accident on the M5 motorway saw Somerset's trip to Gloucestershire's Brightside Ground take more than four hours - delaying the start by 45 minutes. If the players thought things could not get any worse, the visitors slumped to 96-8 before Craig Overton's unbeaten 33 helped them make 146 all out. Ian Cockbain's 47 not out then took the hosts home with 10 balls to spare to leave them second in the South Group. At least the Somerset team had a bit of fun in the tailbacks... It was an indifferent evening for England players past and present, with former limited-overs captain Paul Collingwood continuing his fine form for Durham. The 41-year-old struck an unbeaten 88 off 54 balls, just five days after hitting his maiden T20 century. All-rounder David Willey enjoyed a decent evening with both bat and ball, taking 2-23 and then making 40, but could not save Yorkshire from defeat at Chester-le-Street. Surrey and England opener Jason Roy's difficult campaign continued - the 27-year-old was out first ball to Lukas Carey in their defeat by Glamorgan. He has just one fifty in seven T20 Blast innings this year. Roy's opening partner for the national side, Alex Hales, was out for just seven for Notts, while Sam Billings hit five sixes in his 74 for Kent. Limited-overs wicketkeeper Jos Buttler made his third half-century in the tournament with 57 in Lancashire's tight victory at Leicestershire. The former Somerset man is now averaging more than 45 in domestic T20 cricket this summer. Who do you think will win this season's T20 Blast? Media playback is not supported on this device United's 1-0 Europa League semi-final first-leg win at Celta Vigo on Thursday was their 10th game since 1 April. With Mourinho's side lying fifth in the Premier League, the Europa League could represent their best chance of reaching next season's Champions League. "The players that have accumulated lots of minutes are not going to play next weekend," said Mourinho. Marcus Rashford's free-kick gave United victory in Spain, along with an away goal to take back to Old Trafford for next Thursday's second leg. If United reach the final in Stockholm on 24 May, it will be their 64th game of the season. Their stretched squad received a boost in Spain, with defender Chris Smalling, who has been out since March with a knee injury, returning to the bench. Defender Eric Bailly (ankle) and midfielder Paul Pogba (muscle strain) were also fit enough to start. But substitute Ashley Young lasted only 11 minutes before having to be replaced with what looked like a hamstring injury. Rashford also had to be substituted, but Mourinho said that was a result of a problem he carried into the game. By that time, the 19-year-old had made the telling contribution, curling a free-kick inside the far post from the right of the Celta penalty area. "He works every day," said Mourinho of the England international. "He loves it. Sometimes he stays behind after training to practise free-kicks. "It was a great free-kick. The ball was moving really fast. The goalkeeper made a little movement but it was impossible to save."

The airline said the disruption, which led it to cancel 600 flights, would knock £25m off its pre-tax profits. Easyjet also said the crash by the Germanwings plane in March had deterred passengers from booking flights. The share price fall came despite Easyjet reporting a profit of £7m in the six months to 31 March. That compared with a loss of £53m recorded during the same period last year. Profits were helped by cheaper fuel and a strong finish to the ski season. Easyjet said the second half of the financial year had got off to a bad start. Chief executive Carolyn McCall said April had been a "one-off horrible month", with the disruption from the French air traffic control strike and following the Germanwings plane crash. "A lot of passengers just didn't book in April. There is no question [that] when you see any tragic event, you just see a reaction to that from consumers," Ms McCall said. Revenue per seat in the third quarter - stripping out the impact of currency movements - is now expected to have fallen by about four percentage points, with the change in the timing of the Easter holiday period also having an impact. However, Ms McCall added that bookings had "picked up momentum again". Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers, said: "Perhaps the fact that the market has become accustomed to being pleasantly surprised has resulted in a sharp markdown to the shares, given that the French air traffic control strikes will impact on revenue per seat in Q3. "In addition, previously announced currency headwinds are also adding to the short-term gloom, whilst the general airline sector concerns such as geopolitical tensions are ever present in the background." Airlines tend to incur losses in the winter and make most of their profits during the summer. Easyjet's half-year profit was at the upper end of forecasts, since it had previously predicted an outcome somewhere between a £5m loss and a £10m profit, while revenues for the six-month period rose 3.8% to £1.767bn. Total revenue per seat rose by 0.2% to £54.91, while costs per seat fell 1.4% to £38.66. "The profit in the half reflects the delivery of our customer-focused revenue initiatives and a strong finish to the ski season, as well as the benefit we received from the lower fuel price and favourable foreign exchange movements," said Ms McCall in the results statement. "As we enter the important summer season, forward bookings are in line with last year, and as we predicted, passengers are benefiting as fares fall to reflect a more competitive operating environment and lower fuel costs." She told the BBC's Today programme that low fuel prices had been "enormously helpful" in the first half and that foreign exchange movements had gone in Easyjet's favour. However, she warned that currency movements would "go against us in the second half". The company saw an exchange rate gain of £18m in the first half, but expects that to be reversed in the second half. The airline said it was "well positioned to grow revenue and profit this year". It predicted that the overall market for European short-haul flights would continue to grow, thanks to "improved economic conditions and a lower oil price".

Conte, 47, has been linked with the vacant Inter Milan job, while there is speculation over the future of striker Diego Costa and playmaker Eden Hazard. "If you can continue with these players you can improve a lot," said Conte. The former Juventus and Italy boss led Chelsea, who finished 10th last year, to the title in his first season in charge.

Belgium international Hazard, 26, has been linked with Real Madrid, while Spain forward Costa, 28, was left out of a game at Leicester in January after a disagreement with a fitness coach, amid widespread reports of interest from Chinese clubs. "The club want to fight to win every competition - we have the same ambition," said Conte. Media playback is not supported on this device "For this reason we try to keep the best players." Chelsea have two Premier League fixtures remaining - against Watford and Sunderland - before facing Arsenal in the FA Cup final at Wembley on 27 May. Former England and Arsenal striker Ian Wright: "The way he has got players playing, Victor Moses, Willian etc is incredible - he's kept the whole squad happy. "There's been no red cards, discipline has been very good, and the amount of consistency through not changing players so often has kept the players together. "Conte has also got that assured calmness - not so much on the pitch but behind the scenes." Former England and Newcastle striker Alan Shearer: "Antonio Conte's passion and enthusiasm has filtered down to all his players all season. "The big change was the shift in the system after they lost to Liverpool and were beaten 3-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates. They were playing four at the back and it wasn't working at all so he had to do something. "They went to a back three, changed a couple of players, and then won 13 games on the spin, which was an incredible turnaround for a team that had struggled. "They've certainly benefited without being in Europe by making only 38 line-up changes, the fewest in the league, so they've used that to their advantage. "There is a case for mentioning all their players but I've got to pick out Cesar Azpilicueta, who has played every minute of every league game and turned in an eight or nine out of 10 performance every time." Unlike local alligators, the species preys on humans and is thought to be responsible for up to 200 deaths a year at home in sub-Saharan Africa. It is possible more of the beasts are at large in the state, experts say. It is not known for certain how they reached the US. "They didn't swim from Africa," said University of Florida herpetologist Kenneth Krysko. One likely possibility was that they were brought in illegally by unlicensed collectors, who then failed to keep them secured or intentionally released them, Mr Krysko told the Associated Press news agency. Last place on Earth without invasive species Aliens threaten Europe's environments What are world's deadliest animals? The animals were found in 2009, 2011 and 2014 and were confirmed as Nile crocodiles by a recent DNA test. The Nile species can grow to up to 6m (20ft), significantly larger than local alligators, which commonly grow up to 4m. They are known to prey on shrimp, fish, insects, birds and mammals, including humans. They are also known to attack livestock. Florida wildlife experts are concerned that the African species could pose a threat to the state's ecosystem if they breed in the Everglades wetlands. The Burmese python was first sighted in the Everglades in the 1980s and there is now an established population of the snake. "I have two words: Burmese python," wildlife biologist Joe Wasilewski said. "If you would have told me 15 years ago we would have an established population in the Everglades, I wouldn't have believed you." Alien wildlife can wreak havoc in an unprepared ecosystem. When the Burmese python turned up far from home in the Florida Everglades in the 1980s it bred fast, sustaining its reproduction by feasting on endangered local wildlife, including alligators. There are now thought to be about 30,000 of the formidable snakes in the area. But invading species don't always come in large packages. The Indian Silverleaf - or Sweetpotato - whitefly, just a millimetre long, is estimated to have caused more than $100m worth of damage attacking crops across California, Texas and Arizona in the 1980s. Sometimes the species don't even have to invade, they are invited. Cane toads, native to South and Central America, were introduced to Australia in the 1930s in an attempt to control the grey-backed cane beetle, which was destroying cane crops. But with no natural predator, the poisonous toads spread like wildfire, killing native species as they went. And invasive species aren't always obviously menacing either. In 1859, Thomas Austin had 24 ordinary rabbits shipped to Australia for hunting purposes. "The introduction of a few rabbits could do little harm," he reportedly said at the time. But Austin underestimated the habit of rabbits to reproduce like, well, rabbits. Soon there were tens of millions and they killed off local plant species, having a devastating effect on Australia's ecosystem. PC Leigh Brightman, from Hitchin, appeared at the Old Bailey for a plea and case management hearing. The officer, 36, denied all charges, including one count of rape of a girl aged between 13 and 15 and four of misconduct in a public office. He is also charged with making four and possessing two indecent photographs of a child. His trial at the Old Bailey is scheduled to start on 20 July. PC Brightman is currently suspended from the Hertfordshire force pending the outcome of the trial. The Australian was hit on the head by a stray Bhuvneshwar Kumar throw on day one of the fourth Test and did not take any further part in that game. Scans gave Reiffel the all clear but he was advised to continue resting. He is set to return to duty for the one-day series between New Zealand and Bangladesh, starting on 26 December. Fellow Australian umpire Simon Fry, who is on the International Cricket Council's second-tier international panel, has stepped in for the fifth and final Test in the series, which India lead 3-0.

Rangers and St Johnstone were knocked out of the Europa League in the first qualifying round, and Craigan reckons an earlier start to the season would make a difference. "It's a no-brainer - starting early would allow our teams to be up to speed when these games come along," he said. "Let's try something different and see if it can make us any better." St Johnstone's Europa League bid was ended by Lithuanian side FK Trakai, who are already well into their domestic season. But Rangers' conquerors, Progres Niederkorn of Luxembourg, last played competitively in May before they took on the Ibrox side. Such defeats are, of course, all too common for Scottish sides and former Northern Ireland defender Craigan says a calendar change is well worth a try. "We have tried changing the size of the league, we have tried adding play-offs to the league, we have tried adding the split between the top and bottom six, we have tried the Betfred Cup with earlier games at the start of the season," the Well coach added. "The only thing we haven't done is change the time the season starts. If the worst-case scenario happened and it didn't work, then we can just change back. "There should be nothing holding us back from giving it a try. People mention World Cups and Euros, but Scotland are not qualifying for those tournaments right now so we're bound to be able to work round it for two or three weeks every couple of years. "I've also heard people say it would affect the credibility of the league. But it's performances in Europe that make a league credible. "The changes we have made in the past are tinkering slightly. But something has to change because every year the same thing happens. Sooner or later someone has to say enough is enough." The WRU and Wales coach Warren Gatland had initially agreed to the 49-year-old "gaining experience" in France. Edwards was expected to start at Toulon next week on an intermittent basis but the WRU has now rejected the move after "the scope of the opportunity changed". "Shaun will not be working with Toulon," said a WRU statement. "He is a contracted employee of the WRU. "Whilst we encourage coaching staff gaining experience in other environments, the scope of the opportunity has changed and would represent an unacceptable compromise. "Shaun remains committed to Wales up to RWC 2019." The WRU had initially agreed to Edwards helping Toulon as part of his continuing professional development in an informal reciprocal arrangement that allowed Toulon's conditioning coach Paul Stridgeon be part of the Wales backroom team in the build-up to the 2015 Rugby World Cup. New Toulon coach Diego Dominguez, who has Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny in his squad, was an observer at Gatland's invitation in Wales' 2016 Six Nations camp and he hoped Edwards could in return offer his insight to his own players. But Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal was quoted in French media suggesting Edwards was joining Toulon's backroom team on a more formal basis than the unofficial role suggested by Gatland and Dominguez. Edwards, who has helped Wales win two Grand Slams and three Six Nations titles since becoming the national team's defence coach in 2008, signed a new four-year deal in December 2015 that ties him to the WRU until after the 2019 World Cup. The former Great Britain rugby league half-back won the European Cup twice and English Premiership three times while with Gatland at London Wasps before joining the Kiwi's backroom staff in Wales on a part-time basis. Edwards was linked with the England defence coach role before his Wales position became full-time in 2011. His impact for Wales has been widely praised and he also assisted Gatland on the 2009 Lions tour. The side conceded just two tries as Gatland's team won the 2008 Grand Slam and their line was breached only three times as they completed the 2012 clean sweep. Wales did not concede a try in almost four-and-a-half games as they won the 2013 Six Nations. They did however ship 21 tries in their four summer defeats to Six Nations champions England followed by three games against world champions New Zealand. Having called Thursday's election to seek an increased mandate for her Brexit strategy, Theresa May ended up losing seats and her Commons majority. Conservative ex-minister Anna Soubry said: "The people have spoken - and they have rejected a hard Brexit." Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said the government's view of Brexit had not changed. Negotiations with Brussels on the UK's departure from the EU are due to start on 19 June, and Mrs May is now seeking the backing of the Democratic Unionist Party to prop up her minority government. The DUP supports Brexit - but also wants to avoid a hard border with the Republic of Ireland and to maintain as far as possible the current access to EU markets - both of which would be jeopardised if the UK leaves without a deal in place, an outcome known as a "hard Brexit". Ex-chancellor George Osborne said the DUP's position made Ms May's "central claim" - that no deal is better than a bad deal - "undeliverable". And Ms Soubry - a leading figure in the Remain campaign before last year's EU referendum - told the BBC's Sunday Politics programme that Mrs May would have to listen to businesses and "wise owls" in her government who are calling for the single market to be a priority over immigration curbs. This is not the approach adopted by the PM, who plans to withdraw from the single market and customs union and bring net migration below 100,000. On the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, the pro-EU former deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine described Brexit as "the cancer gnawing at the Conservative Party" and urged a "period of contemplation" on the subject before negotiations begin. The "right leader of the Conservative Party", he claimed, could appeal to German and French presidents for a deal to keep us "within the European family" while addressing immigration concerns. But Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell told ITV's Peston on Sunday that full single market membership was not "on the table" and would be seen by voters as not respecting the referendum result. Speaking on Marr, Sir Michael said the government wanted maximum access to the EU single market and an "arrangement on immigration". He said he believed there was a majority in the Commons for such an approach. "I think everybody wants to see an agreement in the end that does respect what the British people voted for last year - makes sure that our cooperation with Europe continues, our trade with Europe continues, our security cooperation with Europe continues," he said. Leave-backing Conservative MP Dominic Raab told the Sunday Politics the country was "quite clear that they want us to make a success of Brexit". Jagger and Richards had their first proper meeting on platform two of Dartford station on 17 October 1961. They bonded over a love of the blues and formed a musical friendship that would lead to the foundation of The Rolling Stones in 1962. The heritage plaque was unveiled at the station on Thursday. "We've held a low key event today because Dartford is a working railway station and platform two is a modest space considering the station's enormous role in pop music history," Dartford Borough Council leader Jeremy Kite said. "I hope that in the years ahead many thousands of rail passengers will enjoy looking at the plaque and realising what a huge part the station played in bringing The Rolling Stones together." When they met, Richards was on his way to Sidcup Art College, carrying a hollow-bodied Höfner cutaway electric guitar, while Jagger was travelling to the London School of Economics with some of his prized blues records. The teenagers recognised each other as they had both gone to Wentworth Primary School in the town, with Jagger then going on to study at Dartford Grammar. The Rolling Stones formed in 1962, and went on to become one of the most successful, influential and enduring rock 'n' roll bands in the history of music. Earlier this month, the agency reported two polio cases in the Mayadin area of Deir al-Zour province, much of which is controlled by so-called Islamic State. Fourteen new cases have now been confirmed in the same area, while another was recorded in Raqqa province. It is the first re-emergence of polio in the war-torn country since 2014. The highly infectious disease, caused by a virus, mainly affects children under five years of age. One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis. Among those paralysed, 5-10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilised. WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic told reporters that the 17 children with acute flaccid paralysis first showed symptoms between 3 March and 23 May. But lab tests had only recently confirmed that the children had "vaccine-derived" polio, rather than the more virulent "wild" version of the virus, he said. Oral polio vaccine (OPV) contains small amounts of weakened but live virus, which replicates in the intestine for a limited period and can be passed to others living in under-immunised areas through faecal-contaminated water or food. Mr Jasarevic said the outbreak meant there was significant under-immunisation in the Mayadin area, and that in response the WHO planned to vaccinate 90,000 children under the age of five there and 320,000 others elsewhere in Deir al-Zour. "We are very worried, because obviously if there is already one case of polio of a kid that is paralysed it's already an outbreak," he warned. "We know for example that for one kid that is paralysed there are almost 200 asymptomatic so it means that virus circulating, so it is very serious." Mr Jasarevic said the WHO was also carrying out a health assessment to ascertain whether the virus was circulating in Raqqa, where US-backed fighters are attempting to drive IS militants out of the provincial capital, or if the polio sufferer had caught the virus elsewhere and travelled there. More than 300,000 people have lost their lives in six years of conflict in Syria, which began with protests against President Bashar al-Assad before escalating into a full-scale civil war. Eleven million other people have been displaced by the fighting. The overnight bombing targeted the rebels' last remaining supply route on the eastern side of the divided city. Aleppo, once Syria's economic hub, has been the scene of fierce fighting since civil war broke out in 2011. Despite recent efforts to calm the situation and introduce temporary truces, the battle for the city seems to be intensifying, correspondents say. Life inside rebel-held Aleppo What is left after five years of war? Why is there a war in Syria? Profile: Aleppo, Syria's second city Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has made clear his intention to recapture Aleppo, and on Friday one of his key allies - the leader of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, promised to send more fighters. A recent truce brokered by the US and Russia expired earlier this month without renewal. Russia has pledged to press ahead with its air campaign in support of President Assad's forces, saying rebels had failed to deliver on promises to break ranks with al-Qaeda loyalists. The latest strikes focused on the Castello Road, the only remaining route out of the rebel-held east of the city, monitors said. A local civil defence group said a child was among two people killed in the bombing. PC Allan Smith, from Bovington in Dorset, admitted charges of harassment and disclosing police information when he appeared in court last month. The 54-year-old has already been sacked from Dorset Police for gross misconduct following a force disciplinary hearing. Dorchester Crown Court heard he had been receiving psychiatric treatment. Smith, who also admitted a charge of using the police national computer for personal reasons, was suspended from duty after being charged in September. He has been issued with an indefinite restraining order preventing him from contacting his victim. The court heard he bombarded her with threatening text messages and phone calls between January 2013 and September 2014. Supt Peter Windle, of Dorset Police's professional standards department, said: "Our thoughts and sympathies are with the victim in this case. "We would like to thank her for her bravery in coming forward and reporting these offences and supporting the prosecution. "Allan Smith was working in a position of trust as a frontline officer. He betrayed that trust and let down his colleagues and the police service. "His arrest and prosecution reinforces the fact that Dorset Police expects the highest standards of professionalism and integrity from its staff." Defoe pounced on Lukasz Fabianski's mistake to score, but Swansea equalised with Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty. Kyle Naughton was controversially sent off for a foul on Yann M'Vila but Andre Ayew put the Swans ahead by half-time. Patrick van Aanholt's deflected shot levelled and Defoe struck twice to secure a second successive league win. Relive Sunderland's victory at the Liberty Stadium. Sunderland have now leapfrogged arch rivals Newcastle into 18th in the Premier League table, just one point and one place below Swansea. Despite Defoe's heroics, it was referee Graham Scott who found himself as the centre of attention, with doubts hanging over three of the six goals as well as the seemingly harsh dismissal of Naughton. Joining the select group of Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Harry Redknapp and David Moyes, Sunderland's Sam Allardyce became only the fifth manager to reach 450 Premier League games. Media playback is not supported on this device The former Bolton and Newcastle boss did not have to wait long to celebrate the landmark, as Defoe put Sunderland ahead after just three minutes. Fabianski inexplicably hit his goal-kick straight to Adam Johnson and was then only able to parry Fabio Borini's shot, allowing Defoe to tap in from what appeared to be an offside position. Allardyce's elation soon turned to anger, however, as Swansea equalised in similarly dubious fashion. Referee Scott awarded the hosts a penalty for what seemed like a Wes Brown trip on Ayew, but replays appeared to show the Ghanaian forward had fallen over his own feet. Sigurdsson confidently converted the spot-kick, much to Allardyce's visible fury on the touchline. If Defoe's opener and Sigurdsson's equaliser were debatable, Naughton's dismissal was a controversial flashpoint which prompted a vitriolic backlash from the home crowd. The Swansea right-back won the ball from M'Vila but, having done so with studs showing, Scott showed him a red card. Swansea interim manager Alan Curtis - who waited to confront the official at the interval - claimed Scott got "all the major incidents wrong", adding Naughton "clearly won the ball". Despite the setback, his side initially responded well to their numerical disadvantage as Ayew latched on to Fabianski's clearance and scored with a powerful drive. The Swans were not ahead for long though, as four minutes after the restart Van Aanholt's 20-yard shot deflected off Federico Fernandez and flew into the top corner. While Allardyce was presiding over his Premier League milestone, this was Curtis' first since being named Swansea's manager for the rest of the season. Media playback is not supported on this device Curtis' side defended raggedly throughout and there was a certain inevitability - and, once more, controversy - to Sunderland's third goal. Defoe was offside as he collected Johnson's through ball but linesman Mark Perry did not raise his flag and the Sunderland striker finished calmly. The England international striker was then perfectly placed to slide in from Van Aanholt's excellent cross to put the game beyond doubt with his fifth goal in two games. Swansea, who are 17th in the Premier League table, remain just one point above Sunderland and Newcastle immediately below them. Swansea manager Alan Curtis: "The first goal and third are clearly offside decisions. You can recover but when you play with 10 men for an hour, that's the one that killed us more than anything." Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce: "We manipulated or played with the situation as it panned out. That's all we can do. We have taken the opportunity rightly or wrongly to win the game. For us it's an unbelievable win. Today it's an enormous, enormous, enormous three points to give us encouragement and hope going forward." Sunderland will look to make it three Premier League wins from three when they travel to Tottenham on Saturday at lunchtime, while Swansea host Watford at the Liberty Stadium on Monday night.

Conducting his own defence, Gen Tolimir described Srebrenica - in which about 8,000 unarmed Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men and boys were slaughtered - as an operation "against terrorist groups". He was put on trial at The Hague after being arrested in Bosnia in May 2007. During the 1992-95 war, Gen Tolimir was in charge of intelligence and security for the Bosnian Serb army and reported directly to Gen Mladic. He was accused of knowingly participating in the forced expulsion of Bosniaks from the Srebrenica and Zepa enclave, in the knowledge that "individual killings would occur as a result of the joint criminal enterprise". "It was his men... who were at the detention and execution and burial sites, making sure that murder operation did its evil work until the last bullet was fired and the last body buried," the prosecution said. Although he succeeded in reversing some of the judgements on appeal, the genocide and war crimes convictions were upheld in April 2015. He was also tried for the cruel and inhumane treatment of Bosniak civilians who were detained at Bratunac and Zvornik, as well as the destruction and theft of Bosniak property. The tribunal said that Gen Tolimir had helped disable UN troops during the Bosnian Serb attack on Srebrenica by lying to Unprofor, the UN contingent in Bosnia at the time. However, Serbia's former ambassador to the UN, Pavle Jevremovic, disputed the tribunal's account of Gen Tolimir's role. He told the BBC that Gen Tolimir was "never considered to be a notorious sort of a character regarding the transgressions of international humanitarian law". Gen Tolimir was born in November, 1948 in Glamoc, Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 1993-96, he served as deputy commander for intelligence and security in the Bosnian Serb army. After the signing of the Dayton peace accords in 1995, he served as Bosnian military representative to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). From November 1996 to January 1997 he was an adviser to Biljana Plavsic, the former president of Republika Srpska. He then retired from the army. In February 2005 the Hague tribunal indicted him for war crimes. Chand, 19, had been banned since last summer after failing a hormone test. But the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) has suspended the International Association of Athletics Federations' "hyperandrogenism" rules for two years. The rules will be scrapped if the IAAF cannot provide new evidence. In a statement, the IAAF said the regulations had been adopted "following a lengthy and comprehensive consultation exercise" with the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Athletics' governing body said it would meet the IOC and experts as soon as possible "to discuss how best to address this interim ruling". In its ruling, Cas urged the IAAF to create a procedure where athletes should be allowed to compete in one of the female or male categories and should not be excluded as a "consequence of the natural and unaltered state of their body". Chand's initial suspension was applied by the Athletics Federation of India in line with the IAAF's guidelines on women testing for high levels of naturally-occurring testosterone. The Indian champion's legal team argued the ruling was discriminatory and flawed at a hearing in March. And Cas has expressed its concerns not only over the validity of the guidelines, but also over a lack of evidence proving the precise degree of competitive advantage that a hyperandrogenic athlete would possess. Chand, who has missed the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games during her suspension, has been the first athlete to challenge the regulations, introduced in the wake of the Caster Semenya affair in 2009. The South African teenager was asked to take a gender test shortly before winning the 800m at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin. Subjected to enormous media scrutiny, Semenya subsequently returned to the sport, winning an Olympic silver medal at London 2012. In a statement, the group said it would end operations at its base in the city's West Marketgait in December. Lloyds is moving the majority of the centre's work to its contact centre in Dunfermline, as it seeks to "focus on larger centres of excellence". It is understood some Dundee staff will be given an opportunity to transfer to Fife. The Bank of Scotland branch which stands underneath the West Marketgait offices will remain open with "no immediate changes" planned, Lloyds said. A Lloyds spokeswoman said: "As we continue to adapt to the changing needs of customers and ensure we remain as efficient as possible, we are developing our business with a focus on larger centres of excellence. "As a result of this, we have announced that, from 8 December, we will no longer undertake contact centre work from West Marketgait, Dundee. "We will provide ongoing support for all colleagues affected by today's announcement as they work through what this change means for them." London 2012 bronze medallist Alan Campbell will hope a strong showing in the single scull will help to secure a place at a fourth Olympic Games. Enniskillen woman Nixon, 22, will be part of Britain's quadruple scull team. The event is the last event ahead of the final Olympic qualifier in Lucerne. Nixon, Tina Stiller, Jess Leyden and Rosamund Bradbury finished fourth at the World Cup regatta in Varese last month and will hope to be in the medals in Brandenburg. "This weekend is going to give us more of a glimpse of what could turn up at the Olympic qualification regatta in Lucerne," said Nixon. "I think things are going well so far. Having more time in the crew is always a positive and we are making the most of that time together. "I feel really lucky each day I get to go out with the girls. I am learning so much from them." Campbell, representing Britain for a 10th successive year, will be facing a strong field in the single scull. "I've seen the entry list and pretty much everyone you would expect is there," said the 32-year-old. "Ondrej Synek is there, he's a three-times world champion now, and what Croatia's Damir Martin did in winning the World Cup in Varese last month was pretty exceptional. "There are also a lot of new guys coming through and some people who are still looking to qualify for Rio, so they will really be on their game." Campbell's fellow Coleraine Olympic medallist Peter Chambers will compete in the lightweight men's four this weekend. Chambers' brother Richard has withdrawn from the lightweight men's double scull with Will Fletcher as he continues his recovery from a hand injury but another Coleraine man Joel Cassells will be in action in the non-Olympic lightweight pair with Sam Scrimgeour. Cassells and Scrimgeour are the defending world champions in the class. Anna Soubry, MP for Broxtowe, said she had been "persuaded" that the use of hydraulic fracturing to extract gas from shale rock was a "good idea". Licences have been offered for possible future drilling in the area that Ms Soubry represents. Campaigner Greg Hewitt, from Frack Free Notts, said her views went against public opinion in Broxtowe. The area falls into what is known as the Widmerpool Gulf and could be explored for shale gas in the future. Frack Free Notts held protests in Nottingham at the weekend and wants councils to refuse permission for all drilling work. The group said water, air quality and damage to the land was "inevitable". Mr Hewitt said: "We've held meetings and a lot of people have expressed their concerns, there's also a petition which 650 people have signed." Ms Soubry said: "Having a proper informed debate is critical and the industry itself has now got to step up and make that case as well as us in government, in politics, who believe it's a great way of providing the energy that we need. "We've go to make sure we keep the lights on." Richard MacRae, from Broxtowe Borough Council, set up the petition against fracking in the area. "My main concern is the loss of green space, we don't want it destroyed," he said. During the process of fracking, water, chemicals and sand are blasted at shale rocks to release the gas trapped within. Opponents are concerned about earth tremors, water contamination, disruption and CO2 emissions. But the industry has insisted it can be carried out safely under the right regulations. Any fracking will require planning and environmental permission from the council. Judges commended Brodies for the quality of its legal services, growth in the Scottish legal market and track record for winning new business. The British Legal Awards ceremony, which was hosted by Legal Week magazine, recognises the achievements of lawyers and firms across Europe. This is the second consecutive win at the British Legal Awards for Brodies. In 2013, it was named Regional Law Firm of the Year. Announcing the award, the judging panel said: "Strong growth in client numbers, headcount and turnover have cemented this firm's position as a leading firm in its market." Bill Drummond, managing partner of Brodies, said: "We're obviously delighted to be singled out in this way and would like to thank the large number of knowledgeable people - peers, experts, clients and commentators - who have experienced or taken a look at what we do. "We'll continue to put clients at the heart of all we do and aim to ensure that if they're doing business in or from Scotland, they find us relevant, reliable and rigorous in representing their interests from start to finish." Brodies, which runs offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Brussels, offers legal advice to private and public sector clients both in the UK and abroad. The loo on Handa, off Sutherland's north west coast, was so expensive because it has to withstand gale-force winds and be environmentally-friendly. This year, more than 7,000 people visited the isle which is home to more than 100,000 seabirds. The toilet has been fixed so that it can compost faster. Handa lies three miles (4.8km) off Sutherland's coast and is about 763 acres (309 hectares) in size. The Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT), which helps to manage the island, had the toilet constructed in 2012. Its foundations are 2m (7ft) deep to stop it from blowing into the Atlantic. Highland Council and the Scottish government contributed towards the cost. SWT's reserves manager visited the operators of another remote composting toilet, at Stoer Head Lighthouse on mainland Sutherland, to get advice on improving the operation of Handa's facilities. The trust said the island's loo had been "tweaked" and was now composting better. Figures released this week by SWT show that 7,145 people visited Handa during its tourist season, which runs from April to September. The number of visits came close to the island's record visiting figures of 7,324 set 12 years ago. Handa is popular with wildlife enthusiasts. The isle's thousands of seabirds include puffins and razorbills. Great skua are another popular species with ornithologists who flock to the island, but the large birds are known to divebomb people and attack other seabirds. "It is currently envisaged that the existing group will cease to be an operator of homes," the firm said. Southern Cross added that the landlords were still committed to providing continuity of care to its 31,000 residents. Trading in the company's shares has been suspended. The Darlington-based Southern Cross and its landlords and creditors are a month into a four-month restructuring period, which was agreed in crisis talks in June. The statement said that the details of the restructuring were not yet settled and there was still a possibility of further changes. It had been expected that some of the landlords would leave the group, leaving Southern Cross operating with between 250 and 400 homes, but now it appears that the group is to disappear altogether. By Nick TriggleHealth correspondent, BBC News Ministers have been quick to promise that Southern Cross residents will not be turfed out on to the street. But that does not mean that these vulnerable people are not facing a great deal of uncertainty and, potentially, upheaval. The hope now is that the group will be broken up into chunks for other providers to take on. If that happens the new owners may still want to close some of the homes - something that everyone agrees is both distressing and damaging for the health of those involved. But the Southern Cross developments raise wider questions about the whole sector. While the problems the group has faced have been linked to its business model, the situation has been further compounded by cuts in fees paid by councils. Last year alone fees paid by local authorities for state-funded care home residents were cut by about 2.5% once inflation was taken account. Suffice to say, the squeeze has been felt across the industry - not just by Southern Cross. It is getting increasingly tough to keep services going. The process began when the UK's biggest care home operator said it was unable to pay its rent bills to its landlords. The statement said that little or no value would be left for the shareholders. "We regret the loss of value which shareholders have experienced," Southern Cross chairman Christopher Fisher said. About 250 of the homes will immediately begin to be transferred to other operators. The owners of the rest of the homes are still finalising their plans, but they may end up using the existing Southern Cross back-office staff and some of its management. "We anticipate that the period of uncertainty which we have been experiencing will now draw to a close," Mr Fisher added. But Michelle Mitchell at Age UK, said that despite the promises about continuity of care, "this has been a really worrying few months for Southern Cross residents and their families, with these latest developments only adding to their concern". Labour MP John Mann called on the government to intervene to make sure that care home residents were not forced to move. "No resident should be forced to move out of their home and in the big sell-off there must be no cherry picking of the better properties," said Mr Mann, who has four Southern Cross homes in his constituency. "Government intervention is needed now so that resident needs are put first and to prevent an even greater disaster from unfolding." Martin Green, chief executive of the English Community Care Association, said the collapse of Southern Cross showed there were serious problems with the funding of care in the independent sector. "I think the Southern Cross issue which has come to a head today, is very much an issue that other providers are facing because of the levels of resource that they have to deliver care on," he told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme. "Fees are a really big issue and we've had several years of nil increases, and of course we've had inflation rates running at 4-5%." David Rogers, chairman of the Local Government Association's Community Wellbeing Board, said: "Councils take the welfare of care home residents extremely seriously and throughout this process that has always been their priority." "It's greatly reassuring, and testament to the good work which has been going on behind the scenes and the resilience of the care home system, that a solution has been found which will hopefully avoid major upheaval for the vulnerable people involved." Last year some 1.75 million bicycles were sold, about 2,000 more than the number of new cars registered, La Repubblica newspaper reported. It attributed the change to a slump in car sales during the economic crisis and the rising price of petrol, as well as bikes coming back into fashion. Car sales have slumped to the level at which they stood in 1964, it said. Though bicycling has a strong tradition in Italy, the centres of big cities are largely dominated by cars and scooters. Ahead of a cycling conference being held in Italy this weekend, President Giorgio Napolitano appealed to Italians to "catch up" with other European countries by making their roads more cycle-friendly. The country's third-largest bank needs to raise €5bn in fresh capital by the end of the month. If Monte dei Paschi cannot arrange a private sector bailout, a state rescue may come as early as this week. It is saddled with bad loans and is deemed to be the weakest major EU bank. Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, whose government has only been in office for a week, is under pressure because private investors would suffer any losses under EU bailout rules. He described the move as a "precautionary measure", adding: "We believe it is our duty to take this measure to protect savings. I hope all the political movements in parliament share this responsibility." However, Italy's economy minister, Pier Carlo Padoan, stressed the funds would be used to ensure adequate liquidity in the banking system and support other struggling banks. Officials have also said they were examining a scheme to compensate retail investors for any losses incurred. Mr Gentiloni's predecessor, Matteo Renzi, resigned after losing a referendum on constitutional reform and was regularly accused of being too close to the banks. Tony Swift, 68, was found with head injuries at his flat in Mendip Road in Whaddon, Cheltenham, in October 2015. His killer, Lee McClatchley, 31, was convicted by a jury at Bristol Crown Court following a three-week trial. Police said McClatchley "lived each day ducking and diving as a cannabis dealer". The "blunt weapon" used in the attack has never been recovered. Richard Pegler, senior investigating officer detective inspector, said: "That day he was a desperate man seeking to put right a number of dodgy deals. "I believe he saw Tony as a soft target and tried to rob him of his stash but it all went wrong in the flat and he battered Tony to death." Following the verdict, the Swift family thanked the police and prosecution team for their work. "We would also like to thank Dad's neighbour who did all she could for Dad on the day he died," they said in a statement. "We hope that rather than focus on how Dad died and all that has entailed, everyone who knew and loved Tony will take a moment or two, every now and again, to remember him and to be thankful for him and the time we had with him." McClatchley, of Cromwell Road in Cheltenham, who is said to have sold on the stolen cannabis, is due to be sentenced on 22 March. Cheryl Briggs is standing aside as the party's prospective Oxford West and Abingdon candidate "to put the greater good" before Green Party interests. She said Liberal Democrat Layla Moran offered "the best chance of beating the Conservatives". The Tories said the move was "proof of grubby deals" by opposition parties. Conservative Nicola Blackwood won the seat from Liberal Democrat Evan Harris by 176 votes in 2010. Ms Blackwood increased her majority to beat the second place Liberal Democrats by 9,582 votes in the 2015 general election. The Green Party has asked Labour to support Ms Moran. Oxfordshire Green Party chairwoman Sarah Wood said: "Given the damage that an unconstrained Conservative government can do, we would hope that they can be brave enough to put the national interest above narrow party politics this time." Oxford city councillor and disability rights campaigner Marie Tidball is contesting the seat for Labour. A Labour spokeswoman said: "There's only one alternative government and that's Labour. "The only way to get the change we need, to build a fair economy and strong public services is to vote Labour. People don't want backroom deals." The Green Party has also agreed not to contest Twickenham and Richmond Park, in favour of the Liberal Democrats. The Lib Dems will not contest Brighton Pavilion, which is held by the Greens' co-leader Caroline Lucas. A Conservative spokeswoman said: "This is yet more proof of grubby deals being struck to build a coalition of chaos that would prop up Jeremy Corbyn in Downing Street. "Make no mistake; whether it says Green or Lib Dem on the ballot, it is Jeremy Corbyn who will get the vote to take charge of our Brexit negotiations." Screening to diagnose newborns was withdrawn at the end of November by the Welsh government on the grounds the test was no longer reliable. Wales was the only country in the UK to screen for the condition. Ministers say there was no immediate prospect of resolving several issues. The charity Muscular Dystrophy Campaign says while it understands screening programmes are complex they want additional resources put aside to improve the accuracy of newborn screening. And campaigns director Nic Bungay told BBC Radio Wales early diagnosis helps to delay the on-set of the condition with use of steroids and gives families the chance to decide whether to have other children and to plan for the future. "Evidence from pilot studies in the US and Australia shows more accurate tests are possible and that's what we want to see happen not only in Wales but the rest of the UK," he said. About 100 boys a year are diagnosed with the condition in the UK. Most develop symptoms before the age of three, and between the ages of eight to 11, boys may become unable to walk. There is no cure although steroids and physiotherapy can manage the condition. Jeanette George's son Alex, two, has been diagnosed with the condition although he does not yet display any outwards signs. The Cardiff mother said an early test was "hugely beneficial". "It has allowed us to plan for our future," she said. "We can move to a house that will accommodate Alex in his wheelchair. "We can set money aside and we can take holidays now with our older children that we will not be able to take in the future," she said. The Welsh government issued a statement in November saying steps to help clinicians would be developed to "minimise any risk of late diagnosis of cases and focus resources where they can produce most benefit". Later this month an all-party group of politicians meet at Westminster to discuss introducing screening across the UK. The Welsh government said the reasons for the cessation of the service were: A spokesman said: "There is no prospect of any immediate resolution to these issues, therefore a safe and reliable service cannot be provided. "Other components of the Newborn Bloodspot screening programme are fully quality assured and will not be affected by this change." The former Essex player, 33, broke a bone in his shoulder during South Africa's first Test win in Australia. He had the operation on Thursday and team doctor Mohammed Moosajee said: "We are positive he will make a successful return to international cricket." South Africa lead the three-Test series and bowled Australia out for 85 on day one of the second Test in Hobart. Day two was rained off without a ball bowled with the tourists on 171-5. Steyn will be able to begin a rehabilitation programme "in a few weeks", according to Moosajee. "It is crucial to give the injury enough time to heal and to make sure that he is completely pain-free before he starts bowling again," added the team doctor. The Cape Cobras fast bowler has taken 417 Test wickets for his country, just four short of Shaun Pollock's South Africa record. The thunder in the wake of the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden is uniquely Scottish, not so much in its ferocity but in its complexity and longevity. The theories are running wild and will do so for years. The name McLean has now joined the word Dougie in the lexicon of outraged Celtic fans. There isn't a crowbar big enough to separate some Celtic supporters from the notion that they were the victims of a plot rather than a colossal blunder on Sunday. Social media has been a playground for those who would go toe-to-toe with anybody in a world conspiracy championship. Those who espouse the view that Neil Armstrong never stepped on the moon, or that Marilyn Monroe was killed by the Kennedys, would have their hands full when confronted by the cyber Celts in full flow about the wrongs supposedly perpetrated against their club. Such a contest would surely have only one winner. The chances are that the Armstrong and Monroe crews would quickly accept that they are mere amateurs when it comes to such matters before abandoning their mission and lumping-in with the professionals of Parkhead. Sunday gave us a big story, but in a sense we are going over old ground. It's not a revelation that the standard of officiating in Scottish football can be utterly dreadful at times. It's not a sensation that teams have appalling decisions given against them, nor is it a shock that these teams have a rather one-eyed view of the injustice visited upon them. That goes for Inverness as well as Celtic. John Hughes, the Inverness manager, has accepted that Meekings handled the ball and that it should have been a penalty. He's also been honest enough in admitting that, had referee Steven McLean spotted the incident, Meekings would almost certainly have been sent-off and, therefore, banned for the final. They are now railing against the SFA for following a rulebook that Inverness themselves signed up to. It's another example of a club agreeing to a rule only to go ballistic when it impacts on them, a la Celtic agreeing to a justice system based on balance of probability only for them to cry foul when balance of probability was applied in the case of Aleksandar Tonev's ban for racially abusing Aberdeen's Shay Logan. Clubs tend to be one-eyed when it comes to this stuff. "Do you want all clubs to abide by the rules?" "Yes." "Including your own club?" "It depends." There are shades of grey, of course. Inverness can rightly question why, in four years, no player has been charged with a handball offence retrospectively. They can plead inconsistency and they'd have a lot of support, but in their attempts to free Meekings for the final they are rather hoist by their own petard in terms of the rulebook that carries their imprimatur. Celtic, of course, are masters at this game. The reason why so many fans of so many other clubs around the country have zero sympathy for them in the wake of Sunday is because, in the past, Celtic have seen only what they've wanted to see when such incidents have gone in their favour. The classic example, much mentioned on social media, was the case of John Guidetti's wrongly-awarded penalty against Hearts in a Scottish Cup tie in November. Guidetti hit the deck under a non-challenge from Brad McKay and subsequently scored from the spot to make it 2-0. Hearts were down to 10 men at that time and had a mountain to climb in any event, but the dodgy penalty decision effectively ended any hope they had of making a comeback. It was abundantly obvious that it was not a penalty and yet Ronny Deila seemed to back the decision in the aftermath, refusing to criticise Willie Collum, the man who made the blunder. "The referees have been fantastic," said manager Deila. "It's a high level of refereeing in Scotland. It's been worse in Europe, like last Thursday against Salzburg. We have more problems in Europe with referees. "But the referees here have been good. Sometimes you get something for you, sometimes you get something against you. I don't think a lot about it. If you perform well as a team, you'll win." When Celtic fans started to bombard their club looking for them to seek "clarification" about why the officials missed the Meekings incident, where was Celtic's philosophical attitude then? Where was the "sometimes you get 'em and sometimes you don't, let's move on" response from the autumn? They can object to a wretched error if they like, but they leave themselves wide open to a charge of hypocrisy when quietly accepting a wretched error that gave them an advantage. John Collins, the Celtic assistant manager, only added to this on Tuesday when asked whether he thought it was a conspiracy against Celtic that led to Meekings going unpunished or mere rank awful officiating. "The only person you are going to ask the question to is the referee and the officials, " he said. "I can't answer that." Hearts people were entitled to be scornful of Celtic's shifting mind-set - from "I don't think a lot about it" when a bad decision goes in their favour to "let's not rule out a conspiracy" when a bad decision goes against them. You can fully understand their anger, but a bit of self-awareness wouldn't go amiss either. It seems that Donald Trump was too busy ruminating on a possible bid for the presidency of the United States to attend a media day at Turnberry on Tuesday, but bombast is hereditary in the Trump clan and his son, Eric, merrily boasted in his father's absence. You have to wade through an amount of pomposity where the Trumps are involved, but we may have reached a historic moment on Tuesday, a moment when all the braggadocio may have finally been justified. Turnberry did not need to be purchased by The Donald to make it one of the great wonders of the golfing world, but even this less than enthusiastic Trump observer has to admit that the changes planned for the Ailsa course are excellent. The alterations, of course, have been mooted for years by Turnberry's members, long before Trump ever came to town. Chief among the changes is the ninth hole, which is now a 449-yard par-four and will, by June next year, become a 235-yard par-three, played over the rocks by the famous lighthouse. It's a variation to quicken the pulse of any golfer, professional or hacker. Young Eric has predicted that it will be "the greatest par-three in the world." Normally it's a good policy to ignore the Trumpet-blast, but in this case he could actually be right. Martin Fletcher was 12-years-old on the day of the Bradford stadium disaster, the fire that engulfed a stand at Valley Parade killing 56 people, including his father, brother, grandfather and uncle. For 15 years, Fletcher researched the events of the day and the aftermath. In gathering evidence for his book "56 - The Story of the Bradford Fire", Fletcher uncovered a truth that, he says, nearly killed him. He has suffered seizures along the way. His story is harrowing and jaw-dropping, a huge testament to his courage and his resilience, a book that evokes shock and emotion at the circumstances surrounding that horrific day and the lack of proper investigation in its wake. Reading the book, you think of Stuart McCall, who was a 21-year-old midfielder in the Bradford team that day. McCall has spoken emotionally many times in the past about the horrors of the fire and has gone to many memorial services over the years. He remembers Fletcher as a young lad. Fletcher maintains that there was more to the fire than mere tragic accident, but McCall is not inclined to agree. Whatever the viewpoint, the book remembers the victims and tells the story of a survivor who has been damaged for life because of what happened 30 years ago next month. It's profoundly sad and utterly compelling. Media playback is not supported on this device The 27-year-old left Dundee for the Championship club last year but failed to score in 26 appearances and could not secure a regular starting place. The forward becomes the Pittodrie club's third signing of the summer, after Greg Tansey and Ryan Christie. "Last season was disappointing personally, I didn't play as much and I want to prove to myself what level I can get to," Stewart said. "I'm at that age where I need to be playing football. Aberdeen is a massive club. The chance to work under the manager [Derek McInnes] as well was always in my thinking. Hopefully he can get the best out of me." Stewart had "a few options" to consider, and might have stayed at Birmingham for pre-season training to see how manager Harry Redknapp shaped the side for this season. The striker wanted a period of stability, though, with Redknapp being the third manager he has worked under at St Andrew's in one campaign. "The way the owners are speaking, they're going to spend a few quid and I didn't want it dragging on and on until late in August and I might not have this opportunity," Stewart said. "I might have gone somewhere I didn't want to go, so the sooner the better. "It's always good to feel wanted. Derek's kept in touch, just to see how things are going, and I've kept an eye on Aberdeen. "They were unlucky last season not to win one and they're going to be aiming for silverware each year, so I don't see why we can't win a cup this season." Stewart scored 32 goals in 84 appearances for Dundee before moving to Birmingham for around £500,000 in August 2016. Aberdeen are strengthening their player pool after losing Ash Taylor, Ryan Jack, Peter Pawlett, Niall McGinn and Jonny Hayes from the squad that finished runners-up to Celtic in all three domestic competitions last season. Midfielder Tansey joined from Inverness Caledonian Thistle as a free agent, while Christie signed on loan for the season from Celtic. "Greg is a player who I have admired for a while and I am delighted he has joined us," McInnes told the club website. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The boy is said to be in a critical but stable condition after being hit in Gabriel Street, Saffron Walden, Essex. One neighbour told BBC Essex she believed the boy had been "dragged quite a way" across the road. An Essex Police spokesman said: "Police believe the driver was a learner and there were L-plates on the vehicle." For more on this and other stories, visit BBC Local Live: Essex The driver of the car, a Renault Megane, and a passenger have been voluntarily interviewed by police. Inquiries are continuing. Officers want to speak to any children accompanying the boy at the time of the accident, which happened shortly before 17:15 GMT on Wednesday. It is understood the occupants of the house have had to move out due to structural damage. Neighbour Kim Harris told BBC Essex: "I heard acceleration, tyres screeching and then a crash, bang. It made the house shake. "I noticed the car first, then noticed the boy a couple of yards away. He was scooped and handed to the parents as they came running out. "It was mayhem, there was lots of people shouting and screaming. He'd been dragged, I think, quite a way." Goalkeeper Joe Day and strikers Lenell John-Lewis and Tom Meechan are the only players contracted beyond the end of the current campaign. County are away to AFC Wimbledon in their final League Two game of the season on Saturday before Feeney announces who will be released. "I think it's unfair on them at the moment," Feeney said. "We'll get this game out of the way and worry about the rest after. "Players will go but I want to keep the core of the players and obviously add that little bit more. "I'm looking for a bit more quality over quantity to be honest and I want people who want to work hard and having the mentality of not getting beat." Feeney has said previously that County may not be able to keep their key players at the club this summer. The former Northern Ireland striker is County's third manager of the season after taking over in January from Oldham-bound John Sheridan, who had succeeded Terry Butcher in October. County secured their Football League status with two games of the campaign remaining and Feeney has already started planning for next season. "Our objective was to stay in the league and we've done that," Feeney added. "We were rock bottom of the league and to get where we are has been a long, long journey. "But it's one that certainly gives you a good backbone for next year." Saturday's opponents AFC Wimbledon have secured their place in the League Two play-offs in their fourth season in the Football League. Feeney cites Neil Ardley's side as an example of what Newport can achieve following their flirtation with relegation this season, "Ards is a fantastic guy and a great man manager and he's got players playing for him," Feeney said. The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) will get £160.5m euros over seven years to combat marine pollution, the European Parliament said. The MCA which used EMSA images in the prosecution, welcomed the move. EMSA uses three satellites to detect "ship source pollution". Last October Truro Crown Court heard how an EMSA satellite detected a ship trailing a slick in the waters between Land's End and the Scilly Isles. The ship was identified as the Singapore-registered tanker Maersk Kiera, and the MCA was alerted. The discharge of palm oil, which was being cleared from the ship's tanks, was illegal because it was within 12 miles of land. Maersk Tankers Singapore was fined £15,000, and ordered to pay £7,400 costs and a £120 victim surcharge. Palm oil has been found washed up around the UK's west and south coasts, with sightings as far afield as Cumbria to Worthing. It has also been blamed by vets for the death of a dog and the illness of many others which were found to have eaten the white waxy substance after it washed up on beaches in Cornwall. The MCA said it received an average of 55 images per month in 2013 from EMSA and all alerts were investigated, but there had been no further prosecutions. It said: "Any funding that will boost capability to combat pollution is always welcomed." EMSA said that since 2007 about 200 illegal discharges had been confirmed a year in EU seas thanks to satellite images.

A Southwark Crown Court jury convicted him by a majority verdict of 10-2. He was found not guilty of indecently assaulting a woman while he was appearing in a production of Aladdin in 1990. Travis, who left the court with his wife Marianne after being granted bail, will be sentenced on Friday. He was cleared of a further charge of sexually assaulting a journalist after the jury failed to reach a verdict. Travis was cleared of the two charges he was being retried for after a jury was unable to reach verdicts at an earlier trial. He had been cleared of 12 other indecent assault allegations at that trial. The prosecution introduced a further charge ahead of the retrial and, on Tuesday, the court found him guilty of this offence. The 69-year-old, who was tried under his real name David Griffin, appeared on BBC Radio 1 for more than 25 years until 1993 and was a regular host of Top of the Pops. Prosecutors described him as an "opportunist" and said his "charming and cuddly" persona was no defence for his actions. Sophie Wood, defending, told the judge she would "seek to persuade" him that Travis should be given a non-custodial community order sentence. But Judge Anthony Leonard QC told Travis: "You must understand that all my options remain open in relation to sentencing." Travis replied: "I understand. Thank you, your honour." In court Danny Shaw, BBC News Dave Lee Travis had to wait a long time to learn his fate. Almost two years since his arrest, eight months since the first trial and four days since this jury began their deliberations. The strain was etched on his face as he entered the dock at 14:15 BST this afternoon. He stood as the jury forewoman delivered the verdicts. Not guilty on the first count. Guilty on the second. Unable to agree on the third. But it was only the second count that really mattered. The man with the soothing voice, patter and quick wit seemed lost for words and walked out of the courtroom alone, stunned. His wife Marianne, who'd been sitting grim-faced in the public gallery behind him, put an arm round his waist. But it was little consolation. The jury of six men and six women found him guilty of indecently assaulting a woman on 17 January 1995, while she was working on the BBC's comedy chat programme the Mrs Merton Show. She had told the court she was left "shaking" after the incident. Giving evidence, the woman - now a television personality - said she was 22 when Travis approached her as she was smoking a cigarette in a corridor of the BBC studios in Manchester. Travis, a guest on the programme, told her she "shouldn't be smoking" and gave her a "squeezing grope", she said. "He started touching the bottom of my rib cage. Without saying anything else he just slid his hands up to and over my breasts and then kind of left them there and started squeezing," she added. She told the court: "I absolutely knew he had some weird sexual thrill from this. I felt like I'd been punched, that feeling of being violated." In court, Travis, of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, accused the woman of lying. Jurors were read a transcript of his police interview when the allegation was put to him. ''I remember the days people used to touch people and you would kick them in the balls," he had told the officers. 'You didn't take them to bloody court.'' But the woman's account of having raised the assault incident at the time was backed up by comedian Dave Gorman, a scriptwriter on the show, and the producer Peter Kessler, who told the jury they remembered her claims clearly. Travis was found not guilty of putting his hands inside the trousers of a woman who was working on the pantomime Aladdin in 1990. And the jury failed to reach a verdict on an allegation that he groped a journalist's chest when she interviewed him at his home in 2008. Jenny Hopkins, deputy chief crown prosecutor for the CPS in London, said in a statement: "David Griffin, also known as Dave Lee Travis, indecently assaulted a young woman by touching her in a way that was not only deeply invasive but also against the law. "We thank the jury for their careful consideration in this case and we respect all the verdicts of the court today. "The prosecution of sexual offences is often difficult and complex, perhaps even more so when the allegations are from some years ago. "We will continue to consider cases and, wherever there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest, we will work with police to build strong cases which can be put before the court." Travis was arrested in November 2012 as part of Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree, which was set up after abuse allegations against the late BBC DJ and entertainer Jimmy Savile. Entertainer Rolf Harris and publicist Max Clifford, who were also arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, are both serving sentences for a number of indecent assaults.

Former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis has been found guilty of indecently assaulting a researcher working on TV's Mrs Merton Show in 1995.

He will become the first British astronaut to live and work on the International Space Station when he blasts off on December 15. Newsround reporter Jenny was at the British museum to see Tim and speak to his fans. And check out how kids are learning the skills needed for a career in space here. There were 122 foreign direct investment deals done over the course of last year, up from 119 in 2015. The EY Scotland Attractiveness Survey showed Scotland was the second most popular part of the UK to invest in behind London. This is the fifth year in a row that the country has been in that position. However, Scotland won a smaller share of overseas investment in 2016 than previously, with 10.7% of deals coming north of the border compared with 11.2% in 2015. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Scotland grew by 2.5% in 2016 - lower than the 7% increase recorded across the UK for that year and significantly down from 2015 when investment in Scotland grew by 51%. Mark Harvey, EY's senior partner in Scotland, said a "halo effect" from events such as the Commonwealth Games and the Ryder Cup may have resulted in "abnormally high" levels of investment in 2015. Scotland's share of the jobs created from overseas investment last year was half what it was in 2015, with 6% of UK posts created by foreign companies' investment in Scotland compared with 12.7% in 2015. Deals involving overseas firms created fewer jobs per project, with the average falling from 45 positions in 2015 to 24 the following year. Three Scottish cities were in the UK's top 10 for attracting FDI in 2016, according to the research, with Glasgow fifth after a 27% increase in the number of such projects in 2016. Edinburgh fell three places in the list to sixth but Aberdeen went from 10th to seventh place. Mr Harvey said: "Scotland's attractiveness in the eyes of investors is more in line with previous years. "In 2015 it was perhaps abnormally high as a result of the 'halo effect' from high-profile events held in 2014, including the Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup. "Insight from investors indicates there may be a shift towards more London-centric investment in the future, which suggests Scotland needs to take action to ensure it secures a healthy share of FDI into the UK. "Scotland has firmly secured its position as an attractive destination for FDI in the UK, with a further increase of projects from the record-breaking surge of inward investment in 2015." Economy Secretary Keith Brown said: "For the second year in a row we have attracted more projects than ever before - with 2016 up 2.5% on 2015's previous record - and Scotland has been the top UK region outside London in every one of the past five years. "We enjoy resources few nations can match, including one of the most highly-educated work-forces in Europe, a long-standing reputation for innovation and an internationally-regarded brand. "Today's attractiveness survey indicates these assets continue to be recognised on the world stage, with a substantial number of projects from the US, France and Germany. "In fact, more than one in 50 of the investment projects across the whole of Europe are located in Scotland." At first, 20-year-old Duncan DeLoach figured that the persistent, squeezing feeling he had at the base of his spine was just a pulled muscle. But the pain intensified to the point where, on the evening of Thanksgiving 2014, DeLoach's mother Cathy found him collapsed on the floor of their Fairfax, Virginia, home. Not long after, he went in for a full-body MRI scan. "I was in so much back pain they actually had to tie my legs together," says DeLoach. "I couldn't stay still." The images showed ghostly white glimmers dotting his organs. Cathy DeLoach remembers thinking, "That looks like cancer." Why is Obamacare so controversial? Can Obamacare be repealed? Obama urges 'fight' for healthcare law Testicular cancer, it turned out, so advanced that it had already spread to Duncan's lymph nodes and liver, dotting his spine, lungs and skull. To save Duncan's life, treatment began immediately - an orchiectomy to remove his right testicle, followed by 12 weeks of aggressive chemotherapy. There was no time to think about how the family would pay for the treatment, and luckily they didn't need to. Duncan was covered under his father's health insurance, thanks to a provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. Before the law passed in 2010, Duncan would have been kicked off his parent's plan at 18, since he wasn't a full-time student. His job with a landscaping company didn't offer healthcare coverage. But since he became one of the estimated 5.7 million young adults able to remain on a parent's healthcare under the ACA, Duncan was able to access top-notch treatment thanks to his father's high-quality plan. "In 15 days, we racked up $29,000 [in treatment costs]," recalls Cathy. "I stayed with him in the hospital and I had a lot of time to think about how grateful I was for the Affordable Care Act." Both Duncan's mother and father say they are "fiscally conservative and socially liberal" - neither voted for Barack Obama in either 2008 or 2012, and Cathy said that when the ACA first passed she was not a fan. She thought it was too expensive and rammed through by Democrats. But sitting by Duncan's beside, Cathy completely changed her mind. Not only was she grateful for the coverage her son received, she also became a fan of other effects of the ACA: coverage for birth control, cancer screenings and the requirement that businesses with 50 or more employees provide a healthcare plan. Now, she's terrified that Republicans, along with the new Trump administration, will take away her son's coverage and make it more difficult for him to be insured in the future. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has fundamentally changed the way many Americans access their healthcare. An estimated 20 million Americans have insurance under its provisions, and the number of uninsured has dropped to a historic low of 9%. Three of the law's biggest tenets include requiring all Americans to have insurance or pay a penalty, widely expanding the number of people eligible for the government-funded Medicaid programme, and establishing online marketplaces, called exchanges, where patients can comparatively shop for plans. The enormous package included many other provisions, such as making it illegal for patients with pre-existing conditions to be denied insurance, changing the ways doctors and hospitals are reimbursed by the federal government for care, and - as in Duncan's case - allowing children to stay on their parents' insurance until the age of 26. While some Republicans have said they would like to keep the young people's provision, a repeal of the act could leave people like Duncan suddenly uninsured. "I'm so furious about what's happening," says Cathy. "I'm in a position where I can afford it, but a lot of people are not. "This really is something that could be so awful for so many people, and so many poor people, and it's wrong." Shredding the Affordable Care Act was a key campaign promise made by Donald Trump. Now that Republicans control the House, Senate and the White House, plans are moving forward to dismantle Obama's signature policy. This week, Republicans in the House and Senate passed a budget resolution which set in motion a plan to repeal key parts of the law. Republicans do not yet have a replacement plan. At his first news conference of the year, President-elect Trump vowed that he would have a new plan as soon as his pick for secretary of health and human services, Tom Price, is confirmed. "Obamacare is a complete and total disaster," he told reporters. "We're going to have a healthcare that is far less expensive and far better." It is still unclear how he plans to do this. However, some Americans are happy to see the ACA repealed - especially those who had negative healthcare experiences as a result of its enactment. This group includes people like Bob Frank, who until 2010 had a plan he purchased as an individual from Blue Cross Blue Shield in Maryland. Frank was in good health, and says he paid about $360 a month and had a $2,000 deductible - the amount he would pay out of pocket before insurance began to cover costs. But his policy was cancelled because it didn't cover all of the "essential" kinds of healthcare mandated by the ACA - in Frank's case, his plan had no coverage for pregnancy, maternal or paediatric care. As a 62-year-old single man with grown children, Frank says he had absolutely no need for these services, but was forced to pay for them - under the new, ACA-compliant plan he was offered, his deductible tripled and his premiums ticked up year after year. "This then started a snowball of chaos," he says. In 2014, after three hours of surgery to repair discs in his neck, Frank says he woke up to a shocking bit of news - while he was under anaesthesia, his policy had been cancelled. Frank's insurance company had confused his current and cancelled plan, and claimed he had not been paying his bills. Without coverage, Frank's bill for the surgery came to $36,000. It took weeks to straighten out the confusion and get the surgery covered. "The whole Affordable Care Act experience was terrible," he says. "We were told our premiums were going to drop, everybody's going to save $2,500 - this is all a racket. "I'm in favour of them repealing it not because I want to spite President Obama. I want to repeal it because it doesn't work." Premiums for Obamacare plans have shot up around the country - an average of 22% nationwide - and insurance companies are abandoning what were supposed to be the competitive, cost-reducing exchanges. As a result, some people have lost their ACA plans and have fewer replacement options in some counties and states. Beverly Hallberg, a 37-year-old small business owner in Washington DC, says she's seen her premiums triple in the last few years, and her deductible is sky high. Critics say that having impossibly high deductibles is almost the same as having no healthcare at all. The consequences are identical: people are reluctant to go to the doctor. "I like to say, my health hasn't changed, yet my healthcare costs have. I don't think I went to the doctor once this year," says Hallberg. Tracy Pate, a healthcare navigator with a non-profit called Project Access in north-eastern Tennessee, has heard plenty of complaints from her clients about the rising premium costs and narrowing plan options. In fact, she's experienced it herself - her monthly payment has gone from $50 a month to $200. "But I'm still thankful I have health insurance - I couldn't get health insurance because I had pre-existing conditions," she says. "You may not like the cost of insurance, but that's just a small part of the pie known as Affordable Care Act." Pate says that when she first started trying to sign people up for Obamacare, doors would close in her face - she serves a largely conservative community with no love for the outgoing president. But now that some years have passed and people have experienced the benefits of healthcare coverage, Pate says she no longer has to hit the streets - people are calling her to make appointments. She says despite rate increases, she's still been able to steer her clients to affordable options using the healthcare exchange, and the majority of the clients pay less than $200 a month. The thought of all the people she's signed up losing their coverage overnight is "scary". "How can you tell 22 million people, 'No, sorry, you can't go to your doctor tomorrow.'" she says. Even families like the DeLoachs can sympathise with critiques of the ACA. While the law was vital to Duncan's care, they have an older daughter who recently bought a plan through an ACA exchange and was shocked by the cost. Mike DeLoach, Duncan's father, says he has a fundamental problem with being required by the government to buy health insurance - a component necessary to fund the provisions he does like, including coverage for children up to 26 and the pre-existing condition rule. Still, just a few days ago he wrote a letter to Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, telling him Duncan's story and asking him to delay the repeal of Obamacare. "The chance of somebody who doesn't have a college degree getting a job that's going to give them health insurance right now is slim. So I said, 'Why don't you hold off'. "Fix that - then reform [ACA]." As for Duncan, now 22, his doctor declared his cancer in remission in April 2015. He celebrated by moving to Utah for almost a year to work at a ski resort. Now that he's back in Virginia and the reality of the election has set in, he says he is very concerned about his future. Doctors are keeping a close eye on a residual mass near one of his kidneys, and Duncan returns for blood tests and scans every few months. "It's a pretty active worry," he says. "It costs a lot of money to go through what I have to go through." Although he is not very politically active, Duncan says that in the future he will vote with one thing in mind. "I'll vote for my health insurance. That's pretty much it." RSA shares closed 20.8% lower, making it easily the biggest loser. Overall, the FTSE 100 share index closed 0.08% higher, or 4.6 points, at 6,108.71. Shares in the satellite firm Inmarsat rose more than 1% after it announced a deal with Deutsche Telekom to bring passengers in-flight internet. Deutsche Telekom will supply the 4G, while Inmarsat will supply the satellite access. Meanwhile, fashion retailer French Connection saw its shares slump 8.9% after earnings showed it had fallen deeper into the red. The company reported a loss for the first half of the year of £7.9m, compared with a £3.9m loss in the same period last year. The chairman Stephen Marks describing it as "a tough trading period". On the currency markets, the pound was down 0.14% against the dollar to $1.5507 and was up 0.86% against the euro at €1.3859. In a result that could have been from the pages of a Roy of the Rovers comic, Merthyr Tydfil's part-timers defeated Serie A side Atalanta 2-1 in 1987. While they lost the European Cup Winners Cup return leg, they had caught the attention of the world's media. The players return to the club's Penydarren Park on Friday for the premiere of a film telling their story. When ranking Welsh club football's greatest results, Cardiff City's 1971 victory against Real Madrid or Wrexham's 1984 triumph over Porto may be the more obvious choices for fans. Even non-league Merthyr fan Matthew Davies, who made the film, admitted he had little knowledge of his team's moment of glory. "Growing up (in the area), I didn't know much about it. It's only been in the last few years since I've started going down (to games) and finding out off fans," he said. "There's not much footage online, but someone gave me archive footage and the whole story unravelled in front of me. It was quite incredible." Mr Davies has now watched the match over 100 times and describes it as "a fantastic game" with the 10,000 fans creating an "absolutely unbelievable" atmosphere. He also describes it as "ridiculous" that a bunch of electricians, labourers and accountants could defeat one of Italy's top sides. The film, called The Martyrs of 87, uses interviews with the people involved - including chairman John Reddy, manager Lyn Jones and players Ceri Williams and Dai Webley. Mr Davies said: "There were so many characters that were there - working class valleys boys. "The international media went crazy and I think some fans in Italy still keep an eye on Merthyr Tydfil and Merthyr Tydfil fans still keep an eye on Atalanta. "There is almost a subconscious partnership between the two now." The film will be screened at Merthyr's Penydarren Park on Friday and then before the team's Southern League Premier Division game with Slough Town on Saturday. The Bears resumed on 131-8, needing a further 53 to pull off an unlikely win in a dramatic game at Taunton. But, after 21 wickets had fallen to spin on the first two days, seamer Lewis Gregory made the breakthrough. He removed Chris Wright before Jack Leach had Josh Poysden caught by Marcus Trescothick to bowl them out for 152. Leach ended with 6-42, matching fellow spinner Dom Bess's achievement of taking eight wickets in the match. Poysden's dismissal left Rikki Clarke stranded on 55 - only the second half-century of the match - Warwickshire's hopes having effectively expired when Wright was caught behind off Gregory to end their 86-run ninth-wicket stand. Clarke scraped a further five runs before last man Poysden edged Leach to slip, enabling Trescothick to rewrite two county records. His seventh catch of the match equalled the record of seven in a match by a Somerset outfielder, set by Chris Tavare in 1989. It also took his career tally to 394, beating the 79-year-old record of former Somerset and England all-rounder Jack White. Somerset's fourth win of the season lifted them to second place in Division One, two points behind Middlesex, who have collected four bonus points against Nottinghamshire but slipped to 48-3 in pursuit of 235 at Trent Bridge. Somerset head to Headingley next week to face title contenders Yorkshire before hosting Notts in the final round of games starting on 20 September. One-Day Cup finalists Warwickshire, with only one match left, are left in relegation danger. They now play Lancashire, another team still not safe, in their final Championship game at Edgbaston, which begins three days after their white-ball trip to Lord's to face Surrey. Somerset's victory could be subject to investigation by the England and Wales Cricket Board, for whom pitch liaison officer Phil Whitticase was present after 21 wickets fell on the first day on a used pitch. Somerset captain Chris Rogers told BBC Radio Somerset: "I brought Lewis Gregory on because I felt the batsmen were getting into a rhythm against our spinners. I just had a bit of a feeling that a change of pace might cause problems. "Such decisions often come down to luck and it's nice when they go your way. It makes you look like you know what you are doing. "It wasn't the sort of pitch I would want to spend my career batting on. Each ball behaved a bit differently and that creates questions in the minds of batsmen, which makes them tentative. "But our spinners are bowling well and I'd take the same sort of wicket in our final home game against Notts if it means winning the title." Warwickshire captain Ian Bell told BBC WM: "The pitch wasn't dangerous in any way so there was no cause for complaint. The ECB want wickets that turn, but I don't think that sort of surface is great, even for the development of spinners. "It may bring them more wickets, but they will then find themselves bowling on slow, low tracks if they step up to international level. "It's disappointing, because we are now right in the mix at the wrong end of the table. The game summed up our Championship cricket this season. We were good in spells, but not consistent enough. "But we have a big final at Lord's to look forward to so we can't afford to dwell on this. But, whatever happens, we need to look at our four-day cricket because there have been problems stretching back to the end of last season." He qualified that by saying that he was "not actively trying to sell it". Mr Lebedev also owns the London Evening Standard and the Independent's sister newspaper, i. On Monday he launches London Live, a 24-hour television network dedicated to news, entertainment and culture in the capital. On The Andrew Marr Show Mr Lebedev said he hoped the TV channel would create jobs and be a platform to launch new talent. He has hired what he described as "YouTube sensations" and relative unknowns to present its programming. Another innovation Mr Lebedev highlighted was the broadcast of live plays. Asked about his newspaper business, Mr Lebedev underlined the re-invigoration of the London Evening Standard under his ownership, which - since becoming a free title - has gone from a circulation of 700,000 to 900,000. From losing £30m a year, the Evening Standard now makes a profit. He also said the Independent and the i newspaper were together losing £5m-a-year, compared with a £20m loss in the previous year. Those two newspapers have long been rumoured to be for sale. The latest comments from Mr Lebedev are a sign from the owner that he is entertaining offers. Mr Lebedev, 33, is a British citizen and told Andrew Marr he had been a Londoner since the age of eight. He also owns a pub, the Bunch of Grapes, in East London. He still owns several properties in Crimea. Asked if he was worried about them in the light of the Russian incursion, he said he was "very concerned", but the situation there was "complicated and textured" and a lot of the time was misunderstood in the West. London Live goes on air at 18:30 BST on Monday on channel 8 on the Freeview service. The 43-year-old is said to have "stared aggressively" after Fateh Kerar, 44, made a "smile" gesture and drove off. Manchester Magistrates Court heard Mr Keane followed him, catching up with him near traffic lights in Ashley Road, Altrincham on 30 January. Mr Keane has pleaded not guilty to a public order offence. He denies giving a 'V' sign to Mr Kerar before getting out of his vehicle and shouting and waving his arms about. He then got back in his car and driving off. The Republic of Ireland assistant manager is accused of causing harassment, alarm or distress to Mr Kerar. Police were called on 30 January to a report a man had "behaved aggressively towards another man" near traffic lights in Ashley Road, Altrincham. Mr Kerar, from Altrincham, alleges an altercation took place after he and his passenger noticed Mr Keane in his Range Rover. Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has made it clear that the Alliance does not place much credence in Russian assertions that these incidents were accidental. A third incident where what looks to be a Syrian MiG-29 (the Russians have not deployed this aircraft to Syria) actually locked its radar on to Turkish jets only compounds the problem. This is not an academic concern. Turkey itself shot down a Syrian jet last year and a helicopter only a few months ago. Both had strayed into its airspace. The Syrians shot down a Turkish Phantom jet in June 2012 off their Mediterranean coast; they quickly acknowledged this had been a mistake. So there is no room for complacency. So the buzzword of the moment is "deconfliction" meaning steps to avoid friction between forces operating in the same area. The Oxford English Dictionary defines deconfliction as: The reduction of the risk of collision between (aircraft, airborne weaponry, etc.) in an area by coordinating their movements. How do you avoid misunderstandings and what procedures do you follow if encounters occur? When everyone is fighting on the same side the planning process is complex but at least manageable. US and Allied air operations over Iraq and Syria will be controlled by a detailed daily tasking order establishing targets; the resources to be deployed against each one; the routes to be taken to the target; and similarly the routes for aircraft to return to their bases. The operations of a range of ancillary aircraft; tankers; intelligence gathering systems; and airborne command-and-control aircraft will all be included in the detailed plan. But add in another major player who is not exactly an enemy, but is not particularly friendly either and the complexity - but more important the lack of predictability - gets much worse. The Americans and others were watching Russia's build-up in Syria over the back-end of August and into September. It appears to have been the Russians who first suggested the idea of talks; a response to Washington's growing worries about what it said was the lack of transparency concerning Moscow's intentions in Syria. US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter and his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoygu spoke on the telephone on 18 September. (This, of course, was a significant breach in the diplomatic isolation of Russia in the wake of its seizure of the Crimea; a secondary but important consideration in Mr Putin's wider game-plan). These military-to-military talks moved forward in the wake of the meeting in the margins of the UN General Assembly between President Obama and President Putin. Very little detail has been revealed in public about what is being discussed. It is highly unlikely that either side will be willing to reveal its strike plans to the other. And the whole thing is complicated by the fact that Russia, despite its protestations, is not only hitting so-called Islamic State targets, but is also bombing other groups opposed to President Assad - some of them backed by Washington or its Gulf allies. What little has been said by US spokesmen about the talks has focused on procedural matters in the event of an encounter, for example the language that should be used in exchanges between pilots and the frequencies to be used. There are well-established international procedures for such matters - but they don't usually happen over an active war zone. That is all not to mention Syria's border to the south and Israel's security concerns. It has reportedly mounted air strikes into southern Syria to attack Hezbollah arms convoys. Not surprisingly the Israelis and the Russians are having their own "deconfliction" talks, with the Israeli military concerned that nothing should hamper their freedom of operation. Police said she was hit at about 22:00 BST at the junction of Chester Road and Green Street in Stretford. A 33-year-old man and a woman, 20, have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: "A woman in her 50s was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Next of kin have been informed." The circumstances of the St Helens referee's death are unconfirmed, but he is survived by his partner Nicola and daughter Daisy. Rugby Football League chief Nigel Wood, said: "We are all truly shocked and saddened by the news of Chris Leatherbarrow's untimely death. "This is a dreadful tragedy and our thoughts and prayers are with Chris's family, friends and colleagues." Tributes have been paid throughout the rugby league community to Leatherbarrow, whose officiating saw him awarded the Championship Referee of the Year award in 2013. St Helens, his hometown side, said in a statement: "Saints are saddened and shocked to hear of the passing away of Chris Leatherbarrow. "Chris was well known to the club having refereed our matches and been an integral part of the match officials team. He is also from St Helens. "Our sincerest and heartfelt sympathies are sent to all Chris' family and friends. "Once again, this is time for the Rugby League family to come together and not only pay tribute but be strong for everyone. We have no doubt it will." Clubs throughout Super League and the Championship have posted their sympathies on social media, as have individual colleagues, players, coaches and supporters. Chris Leatherbarrow's age was amended in this article after guidance from the RFL. Media playback is not supported on this device The pre-tournament favourites and hosts were bowled out for 79 in pursuit of 127 on a slow surface in Nagpur. Dhoni, who top-scored with 30 off 30 balls, said: "The batting let us down. There were quite a few soft dismissals. "They definitely exploited the conditions and bowled well but we lacked adaptability." New Zealand left out Trent Boult and Tim Southee - two of the leading seamers in international cricket over the past year - in favour of an attack containing three spinners. Mitchell Santner claimed 4-11, Ish Sodhi 3-18 and Nathan McCullum 2-15 as nine of India's wickets fell to spin. "The way we bowled was outstanding," captain Kane Williamson said. "It was tough to leave out Boult and Southee but we have to adapt to the conditions. The spinners paid off today, which was very pleasing." Corey Anderson, with 34 off 42 balls, and Luke Ronchi, who made 21 off 11, were the only New Zealand batsmen to reach 20 in a total of 126-7 after they won the toss. Williamson said: "Whatever score we got, we knew it would be tough to chase, but we still would have liked a few more "Perhaps we'll reflect on how aggressive we were and do that better next time." England, World T20 champions in 2010, are the only team to win the tournament after losing their opening game. They start their Group 1 campaign against West Indies in Mumbai at 14:00 GMT on Wednesday, after Pakistan's match against Bangladesh in Kolkata, which starts at 09:30. Carl Williams, head of Moreton School in Bushbury, Wolverhampton, admitted a serious error when he was suspended in June. The governing body carried out what it said was an independent investigation. Disciplinary panel chair John Perry said a student took an exam early "under highly controlled conditions". Mr Williams allowed a GCSE English student the opportunity to sit an exam a day before his classmates justified apparently by his need to be going abroad with his parents, BBC Midlands Today reporter Ben Godfrey said. Following this, allegations were made against staff that they had helped students in exam rooms with answers to papers. The governing body said this was unfounded and it only found evidence of slight wrongdoing in allowing the boy to sit his papers early. Mr Williams was allowed back on Thursday to carry on with his job. Mr Perry said: "A student was allowed to take an exam under highly controlled conditions but before anybody else. That was proven. "Appropriate action has been taken under the school's disciplinary procedures about that but that's confidential." The publication of GCSE results was delayed for 140 pupils. Exam board Pearson is conducting its own inquiry. The governing body believes no further action will be taken. In the GCSE results 38% at the school achieved five or more A* to C grades. He said he "lost count" of the number of prisoner-on-prisoner attacks at HMP Bedford and that apart from a new wing it was a "complete disgrace". Sixty inmates were removed and three arrested after Sunday's riot, the damage from which will cost £1m to fix. The government said new measures would crack down on "unacceptable" violence. For more on this story and other Bedfordshire news The former prison officer, who did not want to be named, worked at the Category B prison for a year until early 2016. He had worked as a private security officer on tour in Iraq from 2007 to 2009. He said drugs and staff shortages were contributing factors to the amount of violence at the jail, adding that he had stopped £30,000 worth of drugs coming into the prison while working there. "The amount of attacks that happened prisoner-on-prisoner and prisoner-on-prison officer hit the roof because of drugs and not knowing how to deal with a person's mental state that those drugs give that person," he said. He said violence rose at the weekend because there was "no civilian back up" and that blankets, clothing and toiletries were not available "80% to 90% of the time". A Ministry of Justice (MoJ) spokesman said 2,500 extra frontline prison officers, as announced by Justice Secretary Liz Truss, would help crack down on "the toxic cocktail of drugs, drones and mobile phones that are flooding our prisons". An internal investigation has been launched after Sunday's riot which broke out at 17:00 GMT. Sixty inmates were removed and three men, aged 39, 37 and 26, were arrested and questioned on suspicion of committing offences under the Prison Security Act 1992. A recent report by the HM Inspectorate of Prisons said the prison was "substandard". It predicts the number of cancer cases will reach 24 million a year by 2035, but half could be prevented. The WHO said there was now a "real need" to focus on cancer prevention by tackling smoking, obesity and drinking. The World Cancer Research Fund said there was an "alarming" level of naivety about diet's role in cancer. Fourteen million people a year are diagnosed with cancer, but that is predicted to increase to 19 million by 2025, 22 million by 2030 and 24 million by 2035. The developing world will bear the brunt of the extra cases. Chris Wild, the director of the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, told the BBC: "The global cancer burden is increasing and quite markedly, due predominately to the ageing of the populations and population growth. "If we look at the cost of treatment of cancers, it is spiralling out of control, even for the high-income countries. Prevention is absolutely critical and it's been somewhat neglected." The WHO's World Cancer Report 2014 said the major sources of preventable cancer included: For most countries, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. However, cervical cancer dominates in large parts of Africa. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause. It is thought wider use of the HPV and other vaccines could prevent hundreds of thousands of cancers. One of the report's editors, Dr Bernard Stewart from the University of New South Wales in Australia, said prevention had a "crucial role in combating the tidal wave of cancer which we see coming across the world". Dr Stewart said human behaviour was behind many cancers such as the sunbathe "until you're cooked evenly on both sides" approach in his native Australia. He said it was not the role of the International Agency for Research on Cancer to dictate what should be done. But he added: "In relation to alcohol, for example, we're all aware of the acute effects, whether it's car accidents or assaults, but there's a burden of disease that's not talked about because it's simply not recognised, specifically involving cancer. "The extent to which we modify the availability of alcohol, the labelling of alcohol, the promotion of alcohol and the price of alcohol - those things should be on the agenda." He said there was a similar argument to be had with sugar fuelling obesity, which in turn affected cancer risk. Meanwhile, a survey of 2,046 people in the UK by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) suggested 49% do not know that diet increases the risk of developing cancer. A third of people said cancer was mainly due to family history, but the charity said no more than 10% of cancers were down to inherited genes. Amanda McLean, general manager for the WCRF, said: "It's very alarming to see that such a large number of people don't know that there's a lot they can do to significantly reduce their risk of getting cancer. "In the UK, about a third of the most common cancers could be prevented through being a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet and being regularly physically active. "These results show that many people still seem to mistakenly accept their chances of getting cancer as a throw of the dice, but by making lifestyle changes today, we can help prevent cancer tomorrow." It advises a diet packed with vegetables, fruit, and wholegrains; cutting down on alcohol and red meat; and junking processed meat completely. Dr Jean King, Cancer Research UK's director of tobacco control, said: "The most shocking thing about this report's prediction that 14 million cancer cases a year will rise to 22 million globally in the next 20 years is that up to half of all cases could be prevented. "People can cut their risk of cancer by making healthy lifestyle choices, but it's important to remember that the government and society are also responsible for creating an environment that supports healthy lifestyles. "It's clear that if we don't act now to curb the number of people getting cancer, we will be at the heart of a global crisis in cancer care within the next two decades." The black Daimler DS420, which was due to be replaced in three to five years, has been retired after 24 years of service. The car has carried the Princess Royal, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall during visits to Guernsey. The car is to be replaced by a Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III model, in a claret livery. Major Marco Ciotti, secretary to the lieutenant governor, said "an unexpected opportunity" had arisen to acquire a Rolls-Royce locally, in a similar colour to that of some of the cars in the Royal Household. "The Rolls-Royce will bring better reliability and lower running costs, with a genuine British pedigree. We're looking forward to its first ceremonial outing," he said. The lieutenant governor's ceremonial car is owned and run by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. 3 August 2017 Last updated at 08:54 BST If the deal goes ahead it would break all records for the biggest amount ever paid for a footballer. But what could you buy for that amount of money? Jenny's been finding out. The 35-year-old former world number one came into the tournament seeded 17th after six months out through injury. But the Swiss was in destructive form against Czech Berdych and needed only one hour 32 minutes to win 6-2 6-4 6-4. Federer will now face world number five Kei Nishikori, with the winner of that match potentially meeting Andy Murray in the quarter-finals. World number one and five-time Melbourne finalist Murray beat Sam Querrey 6-4 6-2 6-4 earlier on Friday and will face Germany's Mischa Zverev in the fourth round. Nishikori progressed with a 6-4 6-4 6-4 win against Lukas Lacko from Slovakia. Former Australian Open winner Stan Wawrinka, the reigning US Open champion, also reached the last 16 with a 3-6 6-2 6-2 7-6 (9-7) victory over Serbia's Viktor Troicki. The Swiss, a potential semi-final opponent for Murray, will play Andreas Seppi next after the Italian beat Belgian Steve Darcis 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-1) 7-6 (7-2). Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Federer had only dropped one set in his victories over Jurgen Melzer and Noah Rubin, but Berdych was considered his first real test since his return from a knee injury. However, the 17-time Grand Slam winner looked back to his best and never faced a break point in the Rod Laver Arena. He took 27 minutes to win the first set, in which Berdych could only land 41% of his first serves, and hit a total of 40 winners on his way to victory. "I didn't expect it to go this well," said Federer. "I am happy it went as well as it did, happy to continue my run here even though I struggled in the early rounds. Today was great and I surprised myself." When asked how he feels about playing Nishikori in the fourth round, he said: "I guess I am ready now. "I like Kei, I have always been a fan of his game, he is a nice kid, had a great few seasons. I have got my work cut out." The defence ministry said military police had been sent to Eastern Ghouta on the edge of the capital Damascus, and to an area in the south-west. It is the first time foreign personnel have been despatched to help implement the "safe zones" agreed with Turkey and Iran earlier this year. Rebel groups have not publicly signed up to the de-escalation agreement. A Russian defence ministry spokesman, Lt Gen Sergei Rudskoi, said a contingent had set up two checkpoints and 10 observation posts on front lines between Syrian forces and rebels in the two areas. He said Israel, which borders Syria's south-west, had been informed in advance. Israel is reported to have opposed the idea of Russia policing the zones, fearing it would be used as cover by Hezbollah militants and other Iranian-backed militia to move closer to Israel's front line. A plan for four de-escalation zones was agreed between Russia and Iran, both of whom strongly support Syria, and Turkey, which backs the rebels, at talks in the Kazakh capital, Astana, in May. The plan excludes attacks on militants from so-called Islamic State (IS). Lt Gen Rudskoi said military police had been sent to checkpoints and monitoring posts in Eastern Ghouta, in parts of which the Syrian military declared a halt to fighting on Saturday following talks in Egypt between Russia and "moderate" rebel groups. However, the UK-based monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian aircraft have carried out air strikes there since then. Syria's war has claimed more than 330,000 lives since it erupted in 2011, with millions more displaced. The 33-year-old was assaulted by three men who burst into his house in Rannoch Drive at about 03:15 on Saturday. He was treated in hospital for his injuries and later released. The attackers fled in a black car. Police Scotland said the victim was not believed to have been the intended target for the assault. Det Con Graham McAdam added: "I do not believe that this was a random attack however I think that the 33-year-old man was not the intended target and that he was the victim of mistaken identity. "I urge anyone who has any information that could assist our enquiries to contact Wishaw CID immediately via 101. Alternatively calls can be made via Crimestoppers where anonymity can be maintained." The game was essentially won in a three-minute period in the first half in which Mousa Dembele fired Spurs ahead from close range following a corner before Son Heung-min doubled the lead with a darting run and neat finish. Harry Kane, making his first start in a month, made sure of the three points with a low finish just minutes into the second half. The strike makes the 23-year-old just the fourth player to score 20 Premier League goals in three consecutive seasons after Alan Shearer, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Thierry Henry. Vincent Janssen capped off Spurs' afternoon by scoring just his second Premier League goal of the season in injury time, just minutes after coming on as a substitute. Mauricio Pochettino's side are now four points behind Chelsea, who face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Bournemouth, who managed one shot on target, are now without a win in four matches and remain seven points above the bottom three with six games left to play. With this win Tottenham surpassed the 70 points that gave them third place in 2015-16, during which they challenged for the Premier League trophy until their 36th fixture - a 2-2 draw at Chelsea. The smart money remains on the Blues playing a more central role in extending Spurs' wait for a first title since 1961, especially if they win at United, but Pochettino's side are doing everything to capitalise on any potential slip-up. This is a more mature, clinical and refined Tottenham side than 12 months ago, and this performance illustrated that perfectly. From the start they pressed their opponents relentlessly and dominated possession before the goals came. Dembele's was a simple but emphatic finish following Christian Eriksen's corner. Son showed speed and guile to score after receiving a pass from Kane, whose goal was the result of great tenacity in winning the ball from Simon Francis in the box. The biggest cheer of the afternoon, though, was reserved for the contribution of Janssen, who followed up his own blocked shot to score his sixth goal in his 35th appearance of what has been a tough first season in English football. Spurs have now scored the joint-most goals in the division, conceded the fewest and are hitting peak form at potentially just the right time. They have also made White Hart Lane a fortress. This was their 12th victory in succession, making it their longest-ever winning streak on home soil in a single top-flight season. Bournemouth are now without a win in three, since last month's 2-0 win over Swansea which lifted them up to 11th. This game was no barometer of their suitability for a possible relegation fight, simply because Tottenham were so good. But Eddie Howe's side were easily brushed aside, having now conceded three or more goals in 12 Premier League games. They were second best in every department as Spurs bullied their defence, bossed midfield and denied Benik Afobe and Joshua King any sight of goal. Their only shot on target came in the 74th minute, when Charlie Daniels' long-range effort gave Hugo Lloris the simplest of saves. Their dismal afternoon was compounded when on-loan midfielder Jack Wilshere limped off injured following a tackle on Kane in his own box. Media playback is not supported on this device Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, speaking to BBC Sport: "I am proud of our players after that performance. We have to wait to see what happens. "Harry Kane is a fantastic player - he is one of the best in England and it is fantastic he is fit again to help the team. "Son is brilliant - he needed time to adapt his game but he is now fit and healthy and he is feeling really comfortable. "I was happy for Vincent Janssen because I knew it was his only chance to score and it's important he feels the happiness when you score. "At the end of the season when everyone is tired, we need everyone to have the right mental attitude and happiness helps. We now need everyone to rest and get ready for the next few games. Media playback is not supported on this device "The three points are very important to keep our dream." Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, speaking to Sky Sports: "We know we need more. We've known all along. "The danger is if everyone says, 'You're safe.' We've got to focus the players' minds that we're not." Tottenham await the result of Chelsea's game at Old Trafford and then face the Blues in the FA Cup semi-finals next weekend. They return to league action on Wednesday, 26 April at Crystal Palace. Bournemouth have two big Premier League games to come this month - next Saturday's home game against Middlesbrough, followed seven days later by a trip to Sunderland.

Australia's Immigration and Border Protection department said Papua New Guinean (PNG) authorities are investigating the death. PNG police said the man, who is from Iran, took his own life, though reports say other residents contested that. The man's name has not been released. Asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat are detained at the Manus Island centre and on the nation of Nauru as part of the government's long-standing policy. Australia agreed to close the Manus Island centre last year after a PNG court ruled that detaining asylum seekers and refugees there was unconstitutional. Rights groups say conditions in the PNG and Nauru camps are inadequate with poor hygiene, cramped conditions, unrelenting heat and a lack of facilities. The controversial centre is due to close by 31 October. Mendy, who joined from Monaco, was not involved and will miss the start of the season with a muscle problem. "We don't want to take a risk because he is so explosive," said Guardiola. A crowd of 93,000 saw City earn their first win of pre-season with goals by Nicolas Otamendi, Raheem Sterling, John Stones and 17-year-old Brahim Diaz. In Mendy's absence, Danilo made his debut at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the 26-year-old Brazilian starting at left-back against his former club, having signed for £26.5m. "Today we saw how good he can play," Guardiola said. "He is a competitor. Him and Kyle helped organise our back four. They communicated with each other. We are very pleased about that side." City have spent in excess of £200m this summer - England international Kyle Walker (£45m), Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva (£43m) and Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson Moraes (£35m) joining French full-back Mendy (£52m) and Brazilian Danilo in Guardiola's ranks. But despite that influx of defenders, it was City's attacking play that saw them to an easy victory as Belgian playmaker Kevin de Bruyne set up three goals. After Otamendi's second-half opener, De Bruyne flicked a deft pass through for Sterling, before picking out Stones for his goal, and then linking with Spanish teenager Diaz, who scored with a superb strike. "It is not easy to find a player like him anywhere in the world," said Guardiola of De Bruyne. "Hopefully he can be stable in his mood. When his mood is positive, he can do whatever he wants." Madrid pulled one back with the last effort of the game - a stunning goal from Oscar Rodriguez - but City were dominant. "If we play with this intensity, we can compete with everyone. That is our dream," added Guardiola, who confirmed playmaker David Silva will be fit for the Premier League opener at Brighton on 12 August. Manchester United ended their pre-season tour of the United States with defeat by Barcelona - a game that manager Jose Mourinho said "was important to lose". Neymar, who has been linked heavily with a move to Paris St-Germain, scored the only goal of the International Champions Cup contest in Washington to consign United to their first pre-season defeat. The French club have reportedly met the Brazilian's 222m euro (£199m) release clause but the 25-year-old played 45 minutes, capitalising on a mistake by Antonio Valencia to score in the 31st minute. Barcelona would have been out of sight in the first half but for a string of fine saves from United goalkeeper David de Gea. "I think it would be very bad for us to leave the US without a defeat," said Mourinho. "Playing against teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City - it would be very bad to go home with just victories." Manchester United now face Norwegian side Valerenga on Sunday before playing Italians Sampdoria in their final pre-season match in Dublin on Wednesday. They meet Real Madrid in the Uefa Super Cup on 8 August. Paige Chivers, who was 15, was last seen in Bispham, Blackpool, after a row at her family home. Robert Ewing, 60, of Kincraig Place, Blackpool, denies murder and intending to pervert the course of justice. Another man, 46-year-old Gareth Dewhurst of Duncan Avenue, Blackpool, also faces charges in connection with the teenager's disappearance. He denies intending to pervert the course of justice, assisting an offender and a sexual offence. The trial at Preston Crown Court is expected to last for 12 weeks. UK like-for-like sales fell by 0.4% for the period. General merchandise, which includes the clothing division, were down by 1.2%. Food sales rose by just 0.2%. Both figures were in line with analysts' expectations. The retailer said underlying profits rose by 6.1% to £284m, although after taking into account one-off items pre-tax profits fell 22.7% to £216m. The crash happened where the M32 links with the M4 near Bristol. The woman died at the scene, a spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said. The driver of the lorry was taken to hospital but is not believed to be seriously injured. All lanes have been reopened at the site of the crash on the M32 after being closed for more than seven hours. Hampshire resumed on 18-1 needing 237 runs to avoid an innings defeat and had reached 173-4 when rain arrived at tea. Tom Alsop made 53 for the hosts and Michael Carberry was on 37 when play was called off at 16:45 BST. Seamer Lewis Gregory starred with the ball for Somerset, claiming 3-26, as Hampshire closed 82 runs behind. With Wednesday's forecast for Southampton looking poor, Somerset may well have to settle for their seventh draw in eight Division One games this season. A draw for bottom side Hampshire would see them close the gap to Surrey to 14 points with a game in hand. In the two sessions of play possible, 20-year-old Alsop made his second four-day fifty of the season for the hosts before he edged Peter Trego to Marcus Trescothick at second slip. Captain Will Smith and Liam Dawson were soon dismissed by Gregory to leave Hampshire 121-4, but Carberry, batting at number four, and Sean Ervine (34 not out) steadied things with a watchful stand of 52. The raging wildfire, which began about two weeks ago, pushed more than 88,000 people out of their homes in Canada's oil sands capital. Mr Trudeau will assess the damage and meet Alberta premier Rachel Notley and emergency workers. The fire, which has moved away from the city, destroyed 2,432 structures. It is now 930 square miles (2,410 square kilometres) and is expected to burn for a few more weeks. Officials have said they are making a plan within two weeks to get residents back into their homes, but fire conditions are supposed to worsen in the coming days. While the worst is over, powerful wildfires continue to burn - one is still out of control. Prime Minister Trudeau will visit some of these areas today, before meeting families who were forced to flee their homes here. Thousands continue to live in temporary shelters, with no possessions, as they wait to hear when they can go home. Mr Trudeau's visit follows criticism for the way he's handled the country's costliest natural disaster, with many arguing that as prime minister he should have come here sooner. Mr Trudeau's government has enacted a cabinet committee for Fort McMurray aid and reconstruction efforts. The fire shut down oil sands firms in the province which are just starting to re-open. Evacuees are receiving financial help from the Alberta government and the Canadian Red Cross. Rachel Notley, touring the town, said the devastation was "quite overwhelming" but that the city would be made safe again. Ninety percent of buildings in the city survived the fire, she said. "It was a miracle we got the entire population out safely," she said. No one was killed in the fire but two people died in a car crash when they were leaving the city. The fire is expected to be the most expensive natural disaster in Canadian history. Services at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust were found to be of "exceptional quality" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). It becomes the fifth trust nationally out of 200 to be given the rating. The trust's chief executive officer, Sir Leonard Fenwick, praised the organisation's 14,000 members of staff for their hard work. He said: "The staff have been tremendous and done a great job. "The initial response of the board was to grant them an additional day's holiday." Prof Sir Mike Richards, the chief inspector of hospitals, said: "There was a very clear vision and strategy for delivering the highest standards of patient care with quality and safety as a key focus." The trust's main sites include the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) and the Freeman Hospital. The Newcastle Breast Centre, located at the RVI, was highlighted for its work at the forefront of treating breast cancer. Last month, the neighbouring Northumbria Healthcare NHS Trust was also rated "outstanding" by the CQC. It was discovered by rug designer Luke Irwin as he was carrying out some work at his farmhouse so that his children could play table tennis in an old barn. He uncovered an untouched mosaic, and excavations revealed a villa described as "extraordinarily well-preserved". Historic England said it was "unparalleled in recent years". Thought to be one of the largest of its kind in the country, the villa was uncovered in Brixton Deverill near Warminster during an eight-day dig. It is being compared in terms of its size and its owners' wealth to a similar, famous site at Chedworth in Gloucestershire. Finds including hundreds of oysters, which were artificially cultivated and carried live from the coast in barrels of salt water, suggest that the villa was owned by a wealthy family. The dig also turned up "extremely high status pottery", coins, brooches and the bones of animals including a suckling pig and wild animals which had been hunted. "We've found a whole range of artefacts demonstrating just how luxurious a life that was led by the elite family that would have lived at the villa," said Dr David Roberts, of Historic England. "It's clearly not your run-of-the-mill domestic settlement." Dr Roberts said the villa, built sometime between AD 175 and 220, had "not been touched since its collapse 1,400 years ago", which made it "of enormous importance". "Without question, this is a hugely valuable site in terms of research, with incredible potential," he said. "It's one of the best sites I have ever had the chance to work on." Officers want to trace Kevin Schruyers, 40, who was said to have been living in the Aberdeenshire area last year. He may have returned to Liverpool, possibly the Huyton or Kirkby areas of the city. Police Scotland said they were following positive lines of inquiry They are appealing for anyone with information to contact them, quoting Operation Thrip. Gunman Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire indiscriminately at tourists on sunloungers on the beach at the five-star Hotel Rui Imperial Marhaba in Sousse on 26 June 2015. These are their stories. Teenager Owen Richards tried to shield his grandfather during the Tunisia terror attack in which his brother and uncle were also killed. Mr Richards, who was 16 at the time, was helping Charles Patrick Evans, 78, try to escape as gunman Seifeddine Rezgui hunted for victims at the beach hotel. Mr Evans, his son Adrian Evans, 49, and Owen's brother Joel Richards, 19, were all shot dead at the Sousse beach resort. The West Midlands family were enjoying the first day of their "jolly boys' outing", inspired by their favourite TV programme "Only Fools and Horses", when they heard gunshots from the direction of the beach. They fled into the indoor pool area and as Rezgui approached, Mr Evans - known to his family as Pat - fell to the floor. "I was hugging granddad on the floor and then I could see out of my right-hand corner my brother and seeing him dive to the floor," Mr Richards said. "He lifted the gun up and I closed my eyes, then I heard a bunch of shots." The four relatives had booked the holiday to celebrate Owen finishing his GCSE exams, his mother Suzanne Richards said. Adrian Evans worked for Sandwell Council in Oldbury as a manager in the gas services department and Joel was a student at the University of Worcester and a keen football referee. Mrs Richards said: "We take comfort that they stayed together in their last moments - protecting each other." Liam Moore battled to save the life of his fiancee Carly Lovett during the attack, the inquest heard. The couple ran from the beach into the hotel after hearing gunshots, and were hiding in a staff area. Mr Moore said: "We were standing close to each other, just hugging each other and holding each other's hands. "Carly was saying that she was scared and I said I was too, but that we would get out of there." The 24-year-old beauty blogger was then injured in an explosion. "She said that shecouldn't move her legs and that shewas blacking out and she told me that she loved me and I told her that I loved her too," Mr Moore said. He began CPR on her when she stopped responding. Ms Lovett, from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, had recently got engaged to Mr Moore, her childhood sweetheart of 10 years. This was the first couple's holiday together. Her family described her as "a kind,caring, intelligent,beautifulwoman with a wicked sense of humour". Cheryl Mellor said her "hero" husband Stephen, 59, sacrificed his life to protect her during the attack. She told the inquest that her husband of 10 years climbed on top of her as they lay on the beach in between their sun beds when the gunman shot at them. In her statement, read out at London's Royal Courts of Justice, Mrs Mellor said: "I am only here today due to the bravery of my husband, Steve. "We were being shot and he protected me. Steve stayed and saved me. He sacrificed himself. Steve is a hero to me." Yorkshire-born Mr Mellor, a father of three from Bodmin, Cornwall, died after being shot in the chest and abdomen. Mrs Mellor, who was shot in the leg and wrist, suffered life-changing injuries. Mr Mellor did not live to see the birth of his third grandchild, a boy called Thomas Stephen, who was named after him. Sports fan Mr Mellor had a "huge interest" in golf and was "so well†Michael Danaher, 50, from Peterborough, denies murdering Adrian Greenwood, claiming he killed him in self-defence. The 42-year-old was found dead at his Oxford home in April and was allegedly on a list of rich people entitled "Enterprises" on Mr Danaher's computer. But he told Oxford Crown Court a visitor had used his laptop. He claimed the "unknown man" searched the internet for information on the addresses of high-profile people, including Gary Lineker and Louise Redknapp. The prosecution alleges the motive for the killing was the theft of the valuable book, which was found in the defendant's home. Oliver Saxby QC said Mr Danaher had a spreadsheet that listed "people of means" such as Kate Moss and Jeffrey Archer, who he intended to steal from or kidnap. It had details of valuables, weapons and family members of his planned victims, with a stun gun listed in many cases. A stun gun was found in Mr Danaher's flat by police. The trial continues.

A report in May condemned treatment on the Tawel Fan unit at Glan Clwyd Hospital as "institutional abuse". Families have since complained about a lack of information, and invitations to meetings sent to wrong addresses. Betsi Cadwaladr health board chief Simon Dean has apologised to them. Giving an update on progress following the damning report by Donna Ockenden, Mr Dean said he could understand why the families of patients affected had no confidence in the board, and that he had "huge sympathy" for them. Gillian Berry, from Rhyl, whose late brother was a Tawel Fan patient for nine months, told a health board meeting in Mold on Tuesday that communication was poor. She said a letter inviting her to a meeting had been sent to an address in Prestatyn, arriving two days after the meeting had happened. Christine Johnson, whose mother had been treated on the ward, said the families were being told different stories by different people and felt they were being pushed "from pillar to post". "It's distressing - we're not getting anywhere," she told BBC Wales after the health board meeting on Tuesday. However, during the meeting she said she was keen to work with the health board to restore public trust in it. Mr Dean admitted during the meeting that systems needed to be in place so that families could "engage" with the board, and that basic details such as addresses and contact details needed to be accurate. Along with chairman Dr Peter Higson, he apologised for the mix-ups and hoped that appointing someone as a single point of contact for the families would improve communication. Mr Dean, appointed interim chief executive after the suspension of Dr Trevor Purt in June, promised progress on mortality reviews and the disciplinary process. He also promised "strong leadership", confirming plans to appoint a new head of mental health services. Waltham Forest council pleaded guilty to charges under the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Control of Asbestos regulations. The council said it "should have done more in the past" to manage safety. Unison has called on the council's chief executive to resign. The case was brought by the Health and Safety Executive and related to two incidents in November 2006 and two more in January 2009. The hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court took place on Monday and has been transferred to Southwark Crown Court for sentencing on 2 February. The union said the issue was discovered when a local resident was refused access to requested files because of the risk of exposure to asbestos dust. Unison branch Secretary Dave Knight said the council failed to protect people from potential exposure to "deadly asbestos." He said: "We are appalled that our employer should show such scant regard for the health and safety of people who work in and use the Town Hall." "The case demonstrates a lack of concern for employees and contractors and anyone else who had cause to visit the Town Hall basement, and it is for this reason that we call upon the chief executive of Waltham Forest Council to tender his resignation." A spokesperson for Waltham Forest council said: "This issue dates back to 2002, and we completely accept that the council should have done more in the past to manage the health and safety of our buildings. We accepted responsibility at court. "In 2012 a fresh asbestos survey indicated the problem, and we have been working with the Health and Safety Executive to make sure that nothing like this happens in the future." Asbestos remedial works were carried out at the town hall basement in 2012 and other buildings have been monitored, the council said. The dean, who was appointed in June 2011, is to become team rector of a parish in the Diocese of Salisbury. He made the announcement during a service in St Anne's on Sunday morning. He said it had been a hard decision to move to England having lived most of his adult life in Northern Ireland. "My wife Helen and I have been privileged to serve in four parishes in the Church of Ireland, as well as St Anne's Cathedral, and have seen great change in the community," Dean Mann said. "Our children were both born here and had much of their education in Belfast. We will be leaving with fond memories and with the intent of being back as often as is practical." He said the main reason for returning to England was because St Anne's was passing from one phase of transition, into which he was appointed, to another, as the Cathedral Quarter approaches significant change. "St Anne's will rise to the opportunities and challenges that will face a new dean and the Cathedral Board over the next five years," Dean Mann said. "It is from this perspective a good time to go." "We will also be moving closer to our family and I look forward not only to that, but to returning for a few years to my primary calling as a parish clergyman. It is a time to look forward for us all." The Bishop of Conor, Rev Alan Abernethy, a member of the Belfast Cathedral Board said: "I will be forever grateful for John's ministry in St Anne's, for his prayerful presence. "His clear thinking and compassionate care for many will leave the cathedral in good heart. He and Helen can be assured of the love and prayers of everyone at St Anne's and the clergy and people of Connor Diocese." Christopher Furniss-Roe was found dead by his father at their home in Pontypool on 9 July last year. Earlier that day Christopher had enjoyed his school's sports day. But Gwent Coroner's Court heard following a minor incident at home with his sister involving a bucket he was sent to his room. The girl's bucket had somehow broken and she had suffered a cut lip. Giving evidence, father Jason Furniss-Roe said he told his son to go and have a shower and then go to bed as punishment. Fifteen minutes later, Mr Furniss-Roe went up to Christopher's bedroom, which he shared with his younger sister, and found his son. Mr Furniss-Roe cut his son down and performed first aid involving cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but Christopher was taken to hospital and had his life support machine switched off the following day. Dr Stephen Leadbeatter, a consultant pathologist at the University of Wales Hospital in Cardiff, concluded in his post-mortem examination that the youngster had died as a result of hanging. Coroner David Bowen said: "[Christopher] had been naughty and as a result he had been sent to his room. "It was far more probable that he was pretending to hang himself to get sympathy and forgiveness. But it all went tragically wrong. "A heart-wrenching decision was made to turn that [life support] machine off the following day." Mr Bowen recorded a verdict of accidental death. That's because the unusual tee-off was installed on an artificially grassed roof of a holiday villa, after the development built over the original tee. Lee Westwood, who says he is "not great with heights", had some helpful advice for his rivals before the tournament starts on Friday. "You want to be sober," laughed the Briton. "It looks quite a tough shot." Players will have to walk past a swimming pool in front of the villa and then climb temporary steps against the side of the house to get onto the roof. Westwood added: "I'm not sure I'd want to be staying in that villa this week with 78 golfers jumping around on the roof hitting golf balls."

The Mandela who led the African National Congress into government displayed a conspicuous sense of his own dignity and a self-belief that nothing in 27 years of imprisonment had been capable of destroying. Although Mr Mandela frequently described himself as simply part of the ANC's leadership, there was never any doubt that he was the most potent political figure of his generation in South Africa. To the wider world he represented many things, not least an icon of freedom but also the most vivid example in modern times of the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. Back in the early 1990s, I remember then President, FW De Klerk, telling me he how he found Mandela's lack of bitterness "astonishing". His fundamental creed was best expressed in his address to the sabotage trial in 1964. "I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination," he said. "I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." Born in 1918, Rolihlahla Dalibhunga Mandela was raised in the village of Qunu in the Transkei in the Eastern Cape. He was one of 13 children from a family with close links to the royal house of the Thembu people. Mr Mandela often recalled his boyhood in the green hills of the Transkei with fondness. This was a remote landscape of beehive-shaped huts and livestock grazing on poor land. He was only nine when his father died of tuberculosis. Always closer emotionally to his mother, Mr Mandela described his father as a stern disciplinarian. But he credited his father with instilling the instincts that would help carry him to greatness. Years later Mr Mandela would write that "my father possessed a proud rebelliousness, a stubborn sense of fairness…" His death changed the course of the boy's life. The young Mandela was sent from his home village to live as a ward of the Thembu royal house, where he would be groomed for a leadership role. This meant he must have a proper education. He was sent to a Methodist school, where he was given the name Nelson. He was a diligent student and in 1939 went to Fort Hare University, then a burgeoning centre of African nationalism. 1918 Born in the Eastern Cape 1943 Joined African National Congress 1956 Charged with high treason, but charges dropped after a four-year trial 1962 Arrested, convicted of incitement and leaving country without a passport, sentenced to five years in prison 1964 Charged with sabotage, sentenced to life 1990 Freed from prison 1993 Wins Nobel Peace Prize 1994 Elected first black president 1999 Steps down as leader 2001 Diagnosed with prostate cancer 2004 Retires from public life 2005 Announces his son has died of an HIV/Aids-related illness It was at Fort Hare that Mr Mandela met the future ANC leader, Oliver Tambo, with whom he would establish the first black law practice in South Africa. Both were expelled from the university in 1940 for political activism. First as a lawyer, then an activist and ultimately as a guerrilla leader, Mr Mandela moved towards the collision with state power that would change his own and his country's fate. The late 1950s and early 1960s were a period of growing tumult in South Africa, as African nationalists allied with the South African Communist Party challenged the apartheid state. When protest was met with brute force, the ANC launched an armed struggle with Mr Mandela at its head. He was arrested and charged with treason in 1956. After a trial lasting five years, Mr Mandela was acquitted. But by now the ANC had been banned and his comrade Oliver Tambo had gone into exile. Nelson Mandela went underground and embarked on a secret trip to seek help from other African nations emerging from colonial rule. He also visited London to meet Tambo. But soon after his return he was arrested and sentenced to five years in jail. Further charges, of sabotage, led to a life sentence that would see him spend 27 years behind bars. He worked in the lime quarry on Robben Island, the prison in Cape Town harbour where the glaring sun on the white stone caused permanent damage to his eyes; he contracted tuberculosis in Pollsmoor Prison outside Cape Town, and he held the first talks with government ministers while he was incarcerated at the Victor Verster prison farm. In conversation, he would often say prison had given him time to think. It had also formed his habits in sometimes poignant ways. Watch key moments in Nelson Mandela's life See Nelson Mandela sworn in as president Listen to Nelson Mandela in his own words Hear how Nelson Mandela's autobiography was smuggled out of prison Interview: Nelson Mandela's first steps to freedom Outlook: Mandela, my friend More from BBC World Service I recall a breakfast with several other journalists, where Mr Mandela was briefing us on the latest political talks. The waiter approached with a bowl of porridge. Tasting it briefly, the ANC leader shook his head. "It is too hot," he said. The waiter went away and returned with another bowl. This too was sent back. The waiter was looking embarrassed as he approached for the third time. Fortunately the temperature was now cool enough. The famous broad smile appeared. The waiter was heartily thanked and breakfast - and our questions - were able to continue. "That was a bit fussy wasn't it," I remarked to a colleague afterwards. My colleague pulled me up short with his reply. "Think about it. If you spent 27 years in jail, most of the time eating food that was either cold or at best lukewarm, you are going to end up struggling with hot food." There it was, expressed in the most prosaic of realities, a reminder of the long vanished years of Nelson Mandela. Prison had taken away the prime of his life. It had taken away his family life. Relations with some of his children were strained. His marriage to Winnie Mandela would end in divorce. But as I followed him over the next three years, through embattled townships, tense negotiations, moments of despair and elation, I would understand that prison had never robbed his humanity. I remember listening to him in a dusty township after a surge of violence which threatened to derail negotiations. Fighting between ANC supporters and the predominantly Zulu Inkatha movement had claimed thousands of lives, mainly in the townships around Johannesburg and in the hills of Natal. In those circumstances another leader might have been tempted to blame the enemy alone. But when Mr Mandela spoke he surprised all of us who were listening: "There are members of the ANC who are killing our people… We must face the truth. Our people are just as involved as other organisations that are committing violence… We cannot climb to freedom on the corpses of innocent people." He knew the crowd would not like his message but he also knew they would listen. As an interviewee, he deflected personal questions with references to the suffering of all South Africans. One learned to read the expressions on his face for a truer guide to what Mr Mandela felt. On the day that he separated from Winnie Mandela, I interviewed him at ANC headquarters. I have no recollection of what he said but the expression of pure loneliness on his face is one I will always remember. But my final memory of Nelson Mandela is one of joy. On the night of 2 May 1994 I was crammed into a function room full of officials, activists, diplomats and journalists, struggling to hear each other as the music pulsed and the cheers rang out. The ANC had won a comprehensive victory. On the stage, surrounded by his closest advisors, Nelson Mandela danced and waved to the crowd. He smiled the open, generous smile of a man who had lived to see his dream. About 20,000 patients in Tayside, Fife, Grampian and Glasgow health board areas will be offered "scope screening", an examination using a tiny camera. The 15-minute procedure can detect polyps that could eventually become cancerous. Bowel cancer is the third most common form the disease in Scotland with 4,000 cases diagnosed each year. Men and women aged about 60 will be invited to take part in the pilot which, if successful, will be rolled out across Scotland. The technique allows medics to see the lower part of the large bowel. Samples are taken if they identify any abnormal areas. Scope screening has had similar trials in other parts of the UK. It will run alongside the existing screening programme which involves home testing kits One man who was given the all-clear after an early detection of bowel cancer is encouraging others to get checked. John Withers, 65, was diagnosed with cancer three years ago after taking part in the current screening programme. He said: "I would not have known that I had bowel cancer until it was very advanced if it hadn't been for the screening programme." Retired engineer Mr Withers underwent successful surgery at Dumfries and Galloway Infirmary less than a week after his diagnosis. He added: "There is no doubt that the bowel screening programme saved my life. "I am glad to see that bowel scope screening is now being offered to people in Scotland and would advise anyone asked to take part in this programme to do so - it could save your life. "Cancer is not as scary as it once was and it can be very treatable so don't put off taking the test." Health Secretary Alex Neil said the level of participation in the pilots would be analysed before deciding whether to extend the programme. He said: "We know that nine out of 10 people will survive bowel cancer if it is detected early. "What's more, bowel cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, especially when it's caught early, and screening helps us to do exactly that." Hernandez headed in his 47th goal with four minutes left in Saturday's friendly in Los Angeles, a warm-up for the Confederations Cup in Russia. It took the Bayer Leverkusen forward, 28, past Jared Borgetti's record in his 91st international appearance. "Javier is one of the best finishers in the world," Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio said. Hernandez, who was the fastest Mexico player to score 40 goals for his country, equalled Borgetti's record in March. He scored 59 goals in 156 appearances for United after arriving at Old Trafford in 2010, before joining German side Leverkusen in August 2015. Media playback is not supported on this device Two systems - Hawk-Eye and GoalRef - have passed Fifa's criteria for use. The technology will first be used at December's Fifa Club World Cup and, if successful, at the 2013 Confederations Cup and 2014 World Cup. The Premier League said it wanted it "as soon as practically possible". A statement following IFAB's announcement added: "The Premier League has been a long-term advocate of goal-line technology. Hawk-Eye's system works by using six cameras, focusing on each goal, to track the ball on the pitch. The system's software then uses "triangulation" to pinpoint the exact location of the ball. If it crosses the goal-line an encrypted radio signal is sent to the referee's wristwatch to indicate a goal has been scored. In line with Fifa's requirements, the whole process takes less than a second to complete. "We welcome today's decision by IFAB and will engage in discussions with both Hawk-Eye and GoalRef in the near future with a view to introducing goal-line technology as soon as is practically possible." FA general secretary Alex Horne said it was up to the Premier League, which is likely to centrally fund the technology for its member clubs, to decide on a timescale for implementation. "It may be December until the technology is absolutely finally approved and installed in stadia," he said at a press conference in Zurich. "Priority is given to the Fifa Club World Cup in Japan. "The Premier League need to talk to the two [technology providers] and the clubs. My understanding is that clubs are supportive and, in principle, as long as all clubs agree it could be introduced part-way through the season - it could be before the start of 2013-14 season, it could be part-way through. "We have already got Hawk-Eye at Wembley. It needs to be calibrated and make sure it's working properly and licensed so we are nearly there and we could turn it on on quite quickly. "The FA Cup would be our decision and we could say for the semi-finals and finals of the FA Cup we could turn it on. I don't think that is a very controversial decision." Horne added that he felt it was "a hugely important day" for football. "We believe that it is a great day for football. From an English perspective, today is a hugely important day. It is a cause we have had on our agenda for a number of years. "This is about having the right technology helping the referee in a relatively rare occurrence." GoalRef uses a microchip implanted in the ball and the use of low magnetic waves around the goal. The system then detects any change in the magnetic field on or behind the goal-line to determine if a goal has been scored. The process takes less than one second, with the result electronically relayed to the referee. The systems will require testing after they are installed in each stadium to ensure they are working properly before they can be used, with licenses lasting for 12 months. Premier League director of communications Dan Johnson said there were several factors to consider before the system is implemented. "We have to look at the technologies ourselves and decide which is the most appropriate," he said. "There is the cost factor too - which is why we are particularly pleased that two companies have come through because it provides some competitive tension. "We haven't ruled out introducing it midway through the season, but it is dependent on what type of progress we make with the two companies, what we think of the technology and how our clubs react. "One thing which wasn't clear [in the Zurich meeting] was a graphical representation of the technology working because I think it is important fans and television viewers can see it working. It is important for the trust in the technology." The Football League said it "welcomed the decision" and will now consider the future use of technology in its competitions. It is believed it could look to fund it through commercial sponsorship. The IFAB was keen to stress that technology will not be used to help referees make any other decisions. The momentum for the introduction of goal-line technology increased after Ukraine were denied an equaliser after the ball appeared to cross the line in a 1-0 defeat by England at Euro 2012. Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo said: "We see every season, every big tournament, we need it because there are some crucial moments within those games where you could find the right solution with a bit of technology." Uefa president Michel Platini is believed to prefer the use of five match officials, something which was also approved by Fifa on Thursday. The system, which sees an extra official posted behind each goal-line to monitor action in and around the penalty box, has been on trial since 2008 and was in use during Euro 2012 as well as last season's Champions League. Football's governing body also lifted a ban on women wearing headscarves during games, clearing the way for the participation of many Islamic nations in top-flight competition. Protesters set out from Brighton earlier to ride to the Horse Hill site near Gatwick Airport where a march was taking place at midday. Duncan Blinkhorn, chair of Brighton Climate Action Network, said about 40 cyclists were on the ride and about a hundred people joined the march. UK Oil and Gas Investments (UKOG) has not commented on the protest. The company has previously said it does not intend to use the controversial fracking technique to extract oil from the site. But campaigners have told the BBC they oppose any kind of fossil fuel extraction, not just fracking. The protest group said some campaigners took a coach from Brighton and others cycled to the site from the city. Other cyclists were riding from Horley station. Protesters gathered outside the test drilling site on Friday to try to obstruct vehicles entering and leaving. Earlier this month, anti-fracking protesters set up camp close to the site for a second time. UKOG has said there could be up to 124 billion barrels of oil under the Weald Basin. The Emmy-nominated actor received the 2,482nd star at a ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard on Monday, in the same week NCIS began its 10th season. "I'm really fortunate to get up every morning and go do a job I love going to," the 62-year-old said. Harmon has played Leroy Jethro Gibbs in the CBS drama since 2003. After a brief career as an American football player, Harmon has had a variety of roles in television, film and on stage and has been twice nominated for an Emmy award. His first nomination came in 1977 for his portrayal of a wounded soldier in the TV movie Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years. In 2002 he received another nomination for his portrayal of Secret Service agent Simon Donovan in The West Wing. "This is a long way from where I started," said Harmon at a ceremony whose attendees included CBS president Les Moonves. "If this means anything to me, it represents longevity." Harmon appeared in CBS medical drama Chicago Hope for four years and starred alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in the 2003 remake of Freaky Friday. His other big-screen credits include Wyatt Earp, The Presidio and Stealing Home. Despite efforts to revive him, Rupert Marshall, of Heron's Ghyll, East Sussex, drowned in Armacao De Pera in Portugal on 21 August, 2013. He had been staying at a four-bedroom bungalow with his two older sisters, their father and his partner. East Sussex coroner Alan Craze recorded a verdict of accidental death. The inquest at Eastbourne Magistrates' Court was told the children had been instructed not to go into the 10m-long oval pool without adult supervision. Joanna Gardner, the partner of Rupert's father Adrian Marshall, said she had gone outside the bungalow and seen Rupert in the shallow end of the pool. "I went down to the pool and I saw [Rupert] at the shallow end. He was lying flat, face down in the water," she said. "He was wearing a towel and leggings." Ms Gardner, who had just completed a swimming teacher's course, added: "I ran in, pulled him out, and started breathing into him. I yelled." A Portuguese pathologist found Rupert died from "asphyxia as a result of drowning". Mr Marshall said Rupert generally had to be "coaxed" into the water and was less interested in swimming than his sisters. He told the inquest it was a mystery why his son had gone into the water but there was speculation that he was looking for a stray cat seen recently at the bungalow owned by Ms Gardner's mother. Rupert was extremely long-sighted according to his mother, Sophie Marshall, who said she had been worried about the proximity of the pool. "Nobody is going to forget this, nobody pretends they are ever going to forget this," Mr Craze said in his closing remarks. "But my hope is that with the benefit of the passage of time, each parent will be able to move on." Detectives investigating the murder of a woman in her home in Doncaster Lane, Penkhull, Stoke-on-Trent, have charged 73-year-old David Powell. While the body has not been formally identified, she is believed to be Mr Powell's mother, Cecilia Powell. Mr Powell, of Longton Road, Barlaston, will appear before magistrates at Newcastle-under-Lyme on Saturday. Detective Inspector Andy Maxfield from Staffordshire Police said "At this stage of the investigation we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident. We will complete our forensic examination of the home later today [Friday] and we expect a Home Office post-mortem to take place tomorrow." Police arrested Mr Powell after they were called to the home in Doncaster Lane at 20:00 BST on Thursday night. Family liaison officers are working to support family members affected by the death. A council spokesperson said the "tough decision" was made due to "the massive government cuts we are facing". Moore sold the sculpture, currently worth millions, to the council in the 1960s for less than the market value. He had intended the artwork, currently on loan to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, to stay on display in the borough. It was one of several that British artist Moore, who died in 1986, had sited in new towns and housing estates that were built following bomb damage from World War II. Known as Old Flo, the sculpture was moved after the Tower Hamlets housing estate in which it was housed was demolished in the late 1990s. Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman said: "It is with considerable regret that I make this decision but I have a duty to ensure residents do not suffer from the brunt of the horrendous cuts being imposed on us." The council said "the cost of insuring the sculpture and threat of vandalism and theft has proved to be unreasonable". Several alternative sites had been discussed, including Canary Wharf and Victoria Park, but none were deemed suitable. The Museum of London had also offered to display the sculpture. Richard Calvocoressi, director of the Henry Moore Foundation, argued on the Today Programme on Radio 4 this week that "this work is part of London's history" and should be reinstated back in London. The proposal to sell the sculpture also sparked a campaign suggesting it should be housed in east London's Olympic Park. Olympics opening ceremony director Danny Boyle, artists Jeremy Deller and Rachel Whiteread and Tate galleries director Nicholas Serota joined the sculptor's daughter Mary Moore in signing a letter asking the council to reconsider. Boyle said the sculpture "defies all prejudice in people's minds about one of London's poorest boroughs". The sculpture has been valued between £5m and £20m, but Louisa Buck from the Art Newspaper told the BBC that its sale could prove problematic. "There's been so much controversy over the sale of the sculpture, that anybody that buys it, however much they love it, are going to be taking on the notion they have privately acquired a work that was intended by the artist to be in the public realm for the people of Tower Hamlets." Stephen Deuchar, director of the Art Fund added: "To sell it would go against the wishes of the artist who effectively part-gifted it to the council... In view of this, we believe the council has no right to sell the work and, if it does, will permanently damage the public's and future donors' trust in the council." However, Councillor Rania Khan, Tower Hamlets' cabinet member for culture said they were being "judged rather harshly by the art world". "We are not the first council to do this in order to benefit our residents and I am sure we will not be the last," said Khan. The council quoted an online poll carried out by a local newspaper which found 55% in favour of releasing funds and 18% supporting the sculpture being relocated to nearby Victoria Park. Professor of Public Art at Goldsmith's art college in London, Andrew Shoben, told the BBC he had a lot of sympathy for Tower Hamlets Council. "It's their asset, they're entitled to sell it. Councils are desperate to find as much money as they can. "Don't get me wrong, Henry Moore's work is phenomenal, but they could sell this work, it could still remain in the public domain and they could invest in new and exciting public art." Prof Shoben, who also founded artist collective Greyworld to create art in public spaces, added that there were issues with trying to return the sculpture to the borough. "Heavy metal sculptures are being stolen more and more and do need to be protected and looked after, they can't just be plonked into a tower block anymore," he said. The Tower Hamlets Federation of Tenants and Residents Associations told the BBC the council's decision was "understandable given the current economic climate". "Tower Hamlets has a dire shortage of affordable housing with over 22,000 on the waiting list and considerable over-crowding issues," its spokesman said. "It would be most welcome if the capital tied up in the artwork could be used to meet the housing needs of residents." The 27-year-old Russian, victorious in Paris in 2012, won nine games in succession to wrap up a 3-6 6-4 6-0 victory and reach the last eight. In the men's draw, Novak Djokovic brushed aside Jo-Wilfred Tsonga 6-1 6-4 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals. The second seed will next play Milos Raonic, who beat Marcel Granollers. Tomas Berdych is also into the last eight after a comfortable 6-4 6-4 6-4 win over John Isner. He meets Ernests Gulbis, who beat Roger Federer. Two men's third-round matches were carried over from Saturday, with Fernando Verdasco seeing off Richard Gasquet 6-4 6-4 6-4 to set up a last-16 tie against Britain's Andy Murray, who beat Philip Kohlschreiber. Eugenie Bouchard joined Sharapova in the women's singles quarter-finals by beating Angelique Kerber 6-1 6-2 in 52 minutes. Bouchard, 20, will now play clay-court specialist Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain, who beat Croatia's Ajla Tomljanovic 6-3 6-3. E Bouchard (Can) (18) beat A Kerber (Ger) (8) 6-1 6-2 "I'm confident, and I really believe in my skills. I believe I can play with the best girls out there," said Bouchard. "She's top 10, so I respect her. She can play some really good tennis. I was really mentally prepared for anything, for a battle." F Verdasco (Spa) (24) beat R Gasquet (Fra) (12) 6-3 6-2 6-3 "My objective right now is to rest and prepare the best I can to play this match against Murray," said Verdasco. "I have nothing to lose. He is favourite because of his ranking." E Gulbis (Lat) (18) beat R Federer (Swi) 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 6-2 4-6 6-3 Full report N Djokovic (Ser) (2) beat J-W Tsonga (Fra) (13) 6-1 6-4 6-1 "With the support Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has on home soil, I needed to start with a high intensity, good movements and try to get as close to baseline as possible," said Djokovic. "I prepared well with my team and executed very well. The scoreline was perfect for me and I'm very happy with that performance." G Muguruza (Spa) beat P Parmentier (Fra) 6-4 6-2 Muguruza said: "I didn't know I was playing against Maria until the guy went to the court and asked me, 'You're playing against Maria Sharapova next round.' I thought, 'OK, it's a tough match again.' Nothing to lose; everything to win." T Berdych (Cze) (6) beat J Isner (US) (10) 6-4 6-4 6-4 "I think it's a good thing to avoid playing the tie-breaks with him," said Berdych. "That was one of my plans in the beginning, and I'm really glad that it was working pretty good." A Murray (GB) (7) beat P Kohlschreiber (Ger) (28) 3-6 6-3 6-3 4-6 12-10 Full report C Suarez Navarro (Spa) (14) beat A Tomljanovic (Cro) 6-3 6-3 "I don't have a ready explanation," said Suarez Navarro about the big names to fall in Paris. "I simply believe that the women's circuit is more and more consistent. We've got to be careful. Everybody plays well nowadays." M Raonic (Can) (8) beat M Granollers (Spa) 6-3 6-3 6-3 "There was a few moments where I'd be up quite handily on my serve, and I'd sort of drift away for a little bit," said Raonic. "But when I came down to the wire I was playing those moments well." M Sharapova (Rus) (7) beat S Stosur (Aus) (19) 3-6 6-3 6-0 "She uses her quick serve extremely well to start and set up the point," said Sharapova. "The slice, especially in the conditions that we played in tonight, it was very effective. It stays very low. But with that said, I still was able to win nine games in a row. So, you know, I'm quite pleased about that." Stosur said: "I was a set all, 40 all, and missed a return in the top of the tape. I mean, I was right there to win it. I actually can't believe from that moment I didn't win another game. How quickly things can turn." "I'm not big on medical timeouts. I don't like to take it, but I take it when it's really necessary. It probably was my third medical timeout in life." Ernests Gulbis on taking a timeout for his back and his hamstring. Roger Federer is not overflowing with sympathy. "If the rules allow you to do that, what can you do? There is nothing much. He didn't look hurt in any way. But if you can use it, you might as well do it." "We all have choices. I can have a choice to break a racquet and get a penalty. The kid can have the choice to take it or not. I think he did a great choice." Gulbis again, on breaking his racquet and giving it to a boy in the crowd. "I didn't go through happy moments today. It was not fun for me." Jo-Wilfried Tsonga could do with a pick-me-up after an afternoon with Novak Djokovic. "Best friend on tour? I don't have one. I don't think the tennis tour is the place to have friends. For me it's all competition." No messing about from Eugenie Bouchard. Maria Sharapova has been thinking along similar lines for years: "I know that what has got me my success is the fact that I'm a big competitor and that I don't want to give anyone a chance. I was never here from day one to make friendships. This is a battlefield for me, and I want to win." Andy Murray had a restless night thinking about his fifth-set shootout: "I didn't sleep much and I woke up quite a few times. I was ready to play at 4, 5 in the morning." Things were not much better over at Philipp Kohlschreiber's: "My sleep wasn't good, either. I was sweating a lot. If you finish late, you try to recover. You drink a lot, so quite often to the toilet, and, well, it wasn't a great night." "I'm the number one American now, which isn't as cool as being the number one American in the '90s or something, or the 2000s," said a modest John Isner. "It's pretty neat to say, but it's nothing I would brag about or anything like that." Isabelle Wallace caused a first-round upset in the girls' singles by impressively beating number six seed Varvara Flink. The 17-year-old from Scotland took a closely-fought first set before easing through the second for a 7-5 6-2 win. "Winning selfie with the family," tweets Tomas Berdych, known to some as 'T-Berd'. The performance is 46% above the low point of the recession in 2009. Trade sectors which grew well in 2014 included stone exports which were up 18% and steel which was up 38%. The level of new car imports also rose by 10% to 48,000, its highest level since 2007. Roy Adair, Belfast Harbour's chief executive, said that surpassing 23m tonnes was "a major achievement" driven by an ongoing investment programme. He said the performance had also been supported by major investments from customers such as Stena Line which has introduced a third ship to its Belfast - Liverpool service. Mr Adair said the increased activity reflected a pick-up in the economy across the island of Ireland. "Increased steel imports, for example, reflects greater manufacturing activity, especially in the Republic of Ireland, while the improvement in freight, containers and new car imports suggests a modest pick-up in consumer confidence," he said. The amount of cement moving through the port increased fivefold to 79,000 tonnes. However, total cement tonnages remain less than one third of pre-recession levels, reflecting the continuing depression in the construction industry. Ferry passenger numbers remained steady during 2014 at 1.4m while cruise passengers calling at Belfast increased by 23% to a record 112,000. Simon Buckden, 42, of Landseer Way, appeared at Leeds Crown Court charged with seven counts of fraud relating to military service, PTSD and cancer. Mr Buckden was told he will face a trial, in February 2016, by the Recorder of Leeds, Judge Collier QC. The charges relate to periods between October 2009 and December 2013. Well, it's because the surge in house prices, even after the great crash and recession, increased the proportion paying IHT to 6% in the past year. And the OBR currently forecasts the share of taxpayers among estates to continue rising to 11.6% in 2019. The Tories also believe that those figures understate the number of households legitimately worried about the tax - in that they point out that a quarter of all houses in the UK are worth more than £325,000 (which is the IHT threshold for a single person who has not been widowed). They say that plenty of their target voters, in their 60s, give away assets and rearrange their affairs to get their net worth below the tax threshold. And most of those would no longer need to go to that bother. That said, given the UK's skewed residential property market, most of the benefit would go to residents of London and the South East, which are the only two parts of the UK, according to official figures, where average house prices exceed £325,000. The average house price in the South East is £338,000 and it's £510,000 in London. So this appears to be a policy aimed at Tory heartlands. But even then, its impact should not be overstated. Expected house price inflation means that if the Tories were to implement the policy in 2017 as planned, the forecast 11.6% of estates paying the tax based on the current threshold would fall only to today's level, of 6%. Strikingly, David Cameron and George Osborne think that the best way of selling the policy to the middle-middle class is to be seen to be paying for it by taking a swipe at the upper-middle and upper classes. So anyone - either a married couple or a single person - bequeathing assets of £2m or more will see the IHT threshold reduced by 50p for every pound that those assets are worth more than £2m, until, for estates worth £2.35m, the threshold is the same as today's. Also, the tax cut's cost of just over £1bn a year will be met by significantly reducing the tax breaks on pension contributions for those earning £150,000 or more. What would happen is that the current annual allowance of £40,000 for obtaining tax relief on pension contributions would be reduced by 50p for every pound of income earned over £150,000, until at an annual income of £210,000 the allowance would be cut to a floor of £10,000. So with 300,000 people earning above £150,000, the Tories would be taking probably more than £2bn from the top 1% of taxpayers - many of whom would vote Tory through thick and thin - to give perhaps around £1bn to the children of perhaps one in 10 asset-rich older people, who would also largely vote Tory, presumably. Maybe these tax reforms are largely about boosting the morale of their people, rather than winning many additional votes. By the way, if you do earn £150,000 or more, you should note that it is now more or less certain that your tax breaks for pension savings are likely to shrivel to almost nothing after the election, since Labour has announced a very similar raid on the tax relief you receive. And if, like me, you were also puzzled by why George Osborne and David Cameron felt they needed to say how they are paying for the IHT giveaway, but not how they would finance the promised £8bn of additional spending for the NHS and other costs, also around £8bn, of promising to raise the thresholds for paying tax at all and for paying tax at the 40% rate, there is an answer. An official says it's the 2017 implementation date for IHT change that makes all the difference - in that the other tax cuts and health spending increase would only be done when affordable and by the end of the Parliament. In other words, George Osborne and David Cameron are asking voters to trust them on their record to deliver those other big commitments. Which some people will interpret as meaning that those other promises are more fiscally reckless or less serious than the IHT reform - though George Osborne denied that today. The 41-year-old was found in the palace grounds by officers seven minutes after an alarm was activated on Wednesday evening, according to the Met Police. The suspect, who was not armed, was arrested on suspicion of trespassing on a protected site and is in custody. It is understood that the Queen was at the palace at the time of the security breach. A palace spokesman said: "We never comment on security, which is a matter for the police." Police officers at the Queen's central London residence were alerted at 20:37 BST, the Met said. Commander Adrian Usher, head of the Met's royalty and specialist protection, said: "I am content that our security measures worked effectively on this occasion and at no time was any individual at risk." But Ken Wharfe, a former protection officer for Princess Diana, Prince William and Prince Harry, said: "It took seven minutes to find this guy, which is a hell of a long time. Ten seconds is a long time, a minute is a long time." He added: "Once somebody is over that wall, unless you catch them immediately there's no telling where that person might go." Mr Wharfe said the problem for security was that the Queen was "quite adamant she doesn't want any additional people patrolling". There have been several security breaches at Buckingham Palace in the past, including the case of Michael Fagan, who got into the Queen's bedroom in 1982 and spent 10 minutes talking to her before she managed to raise the alarm when he asked for a cigarette. In 2003, Daily Mirror journalist Ryan Parry exposed security flaws by getting a job as a footman at the palace using a false reference. In 2013, a man scaled a fence and was arrested inside the palace. He was found at about 22:20 BST in a room which was open to the public in the daytime. Last year two men got on to the palace roof and unveiled a banner in a protest over fathers' rights. The company has not confirmed the decision, but said it would make a statement on Thursday. The insurer has been weighing up different locations on the continent. Without the move, the company said Brexit could have a significant impact on its continental business which generates 11% of premiums. The insurer was due to ratify the decision on Wednesday, according to The Insurance Insider, which first reported it. Brussels had been chosen over the other shortlisted locations, including Luxembourg, thanks to the presence of EU politicians and regulators, according to the Financial Times. Other financial institutions are also planning to relocate business within Europe. Several investment banks, including Bank of America, Barclays, and Morgan Stanley are considering relocating staff to Dublin. Frankfurt, Madrid and Amsterdam are also likely to benefit. HSBC is expected to move significant numbers of employees to Paris. Lloyd's chief executive, Inga Beale, told the BBC last year that if the insurer lost "passporting" rights, which allow it to operate across the EU, Brexit could cost the business around 4% of its revenues. She said the company would need to prepare for post-Brexit conditions and that some people might end up working in continental Europe rather than London. Lloyd's, one of Britain's oldest institutions, is the world's leading insurance and reinsurance market. It focuses on specialist markets, such as marine, energy and political risk, but also branches out into more unusual areas such as insuring the late chef Egon Ronay's taste buds and comedian Ken Dodd's teeth. Mitchell, 45, from the New Forest, fought back from 1-0 and 2-1 down to reach the last 16. New Zealand's Caldwell hit nine 180s, but Mitchell's finishing was decisive. In the women's event, England's 2015 runner-up Fallon Sherrock was knocked out by Denmark's Ann-Louise Peters in a sudden-death leg. Media playback is not supported on this device The 21-year-old's exit was another surprise after Anastasia Dobromyslova's first-round defeat on Saturday. Sweden's Peter Sajwani and English two-time champion Ted Hankey won preliminary-round ties. Hankey, the men's champion in 2000 and 2009, was making his first appearance at Lakeside in four years following an unsuccessful switch to the Professional Darts Corporation circuit and a period of ill health. He eased past Canada's Dave Cameron 3-0, while Sajwani beat England's Sam Hewson 3-2. James McDonagh, 28, died in hospital on 11 January from head injuries after being assaulted outside a nightclub in Toomebridge. Cathy Thompson, 33, faces two counts of perverting the course of justice and a charge of withholding information. She is alleged to have committed the offences between January 10 and 16. One charge of perverting the course of justice related to a text message which she allegedly sent. The message stated: "Yeah, don't have anything in the house that you should not have. They will search the whole house for clothing." The second charge of perverting the course of justice relates to a second message which read: "Tell him to behave and say nothing". A detective sergeant told the district judge that he believed the defendant could be connected to the charges. The defendant was released on bail and the case has been adjourned until April. A 24-year-old man has been charged with Mr McDonagh's murder. President Bashar al-Assad soon announced he would recognise some of the rights demanded by the Kurds and allowed them to register as citizens and hold an identify card, a right they have been deprived of since 1962. But the Kurds rejected the concessions, saying they would wait to get their rights once all Syrians achieved freedom and democracy. Five years on the scene is different. As the war has dragged on in Syria, Kurdish groups have taken the opportunity to gain more power. The PYD (the Democratic Union Party) declared self-administration in the Kurdish region of Syria in November 2013. Other Kurdish parties formed the Kurdish National Council, which is part of the main anti-Assad opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition. The PYD is close to the Kurdistan Workers' Party - the PKK - which is banned in Turkey and regarded by many Western governments as a terrorist organisation. "The PYD had popularity on the ground as they were addressing the Kurdish population's concerns. They are pragmatic and organised, unlike other Kurdish parties who failed to deliver," says Farooq Haji Mustafa, a Syrian Kurd journalist and founder of the Barchav Centre for Media and Freedom, in Gaziantep, southern Turkey. "The Kurds were attacked by some Islamist groups like Jabhat al-Nusra, therefore they felt they were not part of the Syrian revolution. They thought they should seize the opportunity and protect Kurdish interests. "The PYD delivered and were supported by regional and international agreements since they were the only force that is reliable in the fight against Islamic State," he added. But Mr Haji Mustafa says the PYD is a totalitarian party, doesn't like opposition to its rule and has acted violently against some in their community. The PYD later came to form the Syrian Democratic Forces, along with some Arab tribes, and it's the SDF which has become one of the main powers inside Syria fighting so-called Islamic State (IS) - with support from Western coalition forces. But there is criticism of the SDF over how they have allegedly acted towards Kurdish opponents and civilians in areas in which they have been fighting. Some have gone so far as to accuse them of being another face of the Syrian regime. Shero Alo is an opposition activist from Ifrin in Aleppo province in the north of Syria. He was part of the Kurdish opposition but had to leave his town due to, he said, threats from the PYD. "They threatened, arrested and beat us up during our protests. Anyone who opposes them is sent to prison. Some have been jailed for two or three years," Mr Alo said. This view is shared by some Arab activists who say they witnessed abuses in Tal Abyad, a predominantly Arab town on the outskirts of Raqqa, captured from IS last year by the YPG, the military wing of the PYD. "When the PYD entered Tal Abyad in 2015, they pushed all the Arabs out of their homes," said Ahmad Haj Saleh, who has been documenting the activities of the PYD since 2015. "They looted and tortured and imprisoned people. They used a hole to bury people alive in the same place that Islamic State fighters used to have mass graves. "Most of the Arabs who were pushed out were not allowed into certain parts of Tal Abyad and families of the Kurdish fighters now inhabit their houses. The ones who were allowed back needed a Kurdish guarantor before they could get to their own towns," he said. However, a PYD spokesman, Dr Juan Mustafa, told the BBC that Kurdish forces had not carried out any abuses. "There are no violations at all in Tal Abyad. All the families who left came back," he said. "When Syrian Democratic Forces enter a town or an area it is due to calls from the families to come and liberate them from the atrocities of IS." The PYD/YPG have previously acknowledged what they called some "isolated incidents" of forced displacements. A picture of alleged abuses has not emerged in the current battle for Manbij - a predominantly Arab city held by Islamic State fighters near their stronghold of Raqqa. This offensive is being carried out by forces including the US-backed SDF and SDF-allied Manbij Military Council (MMC). MMC spokesman Shervan Darwish says they are doing everything they can to protect civilians while they push IS out of the city. "We have nothing to do with who will rule Manbij - or how it will be ruled. The civil council will decide there," he said. "We are here to protect the civilians and to free their city. It is up to them how to rule it after." The PYD has made calculations in its own long-term interest. It seized control over most territories with a Kurdish population in Syria and now considers them as a federal region. It has presented itself as a partner for the international community in fighting terrorism and just recently announced a constitution that would govern what it calls Rojava - the Kurdish areas of Syria - as well as other parts of northern Syria in partnership with some Arab tribes there. This territorial expansion and new power for the PYD has been supported by the US - who are partners in the fight against IS - and Russia. But it alarms Damascus and the Turkish government, a foe of President Assad. Recent reports say that Algeria is brokering talks between Damascus and Ankara over a common Kurdish threat. Although some believe that the Syrian government helped facilitate the PYD's role in the north at the start of the conflict, the fact that the group has become more powerful now makes Damascus wary. Turkey does not want a Kurdish state on its own border and the PYD is linked to the PKK - which Ankara blames for many attacks in Turkey. While the Kurds have proven to be reliable in the fight against IS in the north of the country, there is some unease about their ambition to separate entirely from the rest of Syria. Ismail Sharif is a Kurdish journalist from Amouda. He wants a democratic and united Syria and left his town due to fears of reprisal attacks from the PYD. He still believes it is hard for them to create a Kurdish state and to split the country. "Unfortunately now there is a proxy war and there are many dictators in Syria. I don't think there will be a division of Syria," he said. "The PYD cannot rule one area from Kobani to Ifrin with many Arab towns and villages in the middle. "They cannot continue ruling across this area without an agreement between all Syrians in a free and democratic country that ensures equal and full rights for all its citizens." Organisers of the rock event, which is usually held at Knebworth Park, said they struggled to get a good line-up. They also couldn't find a weekend which didn't clash with other events. A statement on the festival's website reads: ""Unfortunately our last irons in the fire have just been extinguished and it's clear that we won't be in a position to run the event this year." It was also cancelled in 2012 and 2013. In 2012, organisers said they had fought hard to keep it going but that "a very challenging year" meant the event wouldn't have satisfied fans. The following year, the rock festival was called off because organisers said they were unable to secure a good enough line-up of artists. Their statement about this year's cancellation added: "We've said in the past that Sonisphere will only go ahead if we feel it is going to be good enough and that hasn't changed. "We hope all rock fans have a great summer with all the festivals and concerts already in the calendar and we plan to see you all in 2016." Sonisphere Switzerland is still set to go ahead on 6 June with Muse headlining.

Mr Shade, 23, was accused of eight counts of inciting a person under 18 to engage in sexual activity while in a position of trust, and one count of sexual activity with a child. He denied the charges at Norwich Crown Court. His trial is set for 31 July. The alleged offences are said to have occurred between 2012 and 2015 and to have involved girls aged between 13 and 16. Mr Shade is one of a number of actors who have appeared in the BBC soap playing Ian and Cindy Beale's son, Peter. The character was named after his grandfather, market stallholder Pete Beale. National Offer Day comes against a backdrop of rising pressure on places. The head of the Mumsnet website warned the admissions systems was becoming "seriously creaky" in some areas. Schools Minister Nick Gibb said the government was "investing billions of pounds creating new schools and new school places". The admissions process will see about 554,000 11-year-olds across England finding out whether they will be offered one of their preferred school places. The population bulge that has seen primary schools having to expand has now reached secondary schools - and there will be concerns the rising pupil numbers will mean even tougher competition for the most sought-after schools. An initial survey from the PA news agency of 20 councils found that three quarters had received more applications than last year. In Birmingham, more than a third of pupils did not get their first choice of school - with 64% succeeding with their top preference. But in Leicester and Norfolk 95% of children received their first choice of school. The Labour Party, which wants councils to have more planning controls over creating new places, says last year 70% of local authorities saw an increase in the number of parents whose child did not get their first choice of school. Justine Roberts, chief executive of the Mumsnet parenting website, says there were particular pressures in some parts of countries, such as London, Birmingham, Bristol and Brighton and Hove. "Stories abound of some families cheating the system, which only adds to people's anxiety and sense of injustice," she says. The New Schools Network, which promotes free schools, has published research showing how the configuration of local schools can also affect parental choice. In 62 constituencies, the study says, a "majority of the best schools on offer are faith-based schools", which means a wider choice for parents wanting a faith school, but less for those who do not. New Schools Network director Nick Timothy said faith schools were "delivering exceptional education for many pupils" but there needed to be choice for parents wanting a "non-religious alternative". The National Union of Teachers has called for councils to be able to open schools in response to local needs and has accused the government of creating a "school-places crisis". But Jonathan Simons, head of education at right-leaning think tank Policy Exchange, said the "principle of school choice" should not be "fashionably dismissed". And he said parents wanted to express these personal choices more than taking a place at the school closest to home. But there are big regional variations in admissions, showing London is not typical of the rest of the country. A study of last year's applications suggested two in three London schools were oversubscribed - rising to 80% in some boroughs. But across England, most schools have more places than applications. Labour's shadow education secretary, Lucy Powell, has attacked the government's "free market approach" to creating new school places and said "families deserve a better approach to planning". The government says it put £5bn into creating new places in the last parliament and would spend another £7bn over the next six years in response to the steep rise in pupil numbers now affecting both primary and secondary school. Mr Gibb said: "We want every parent to be able to send their children to a good local school. Despite rising pupil numbers, the vast majority of parents are able to do so." Meng Meng and Jiao Qing were welcomed at Berlin's Schoenefeld airport by Berlin's mayor, China's ambassador to Germany and crowds of reporters. The pair, flown in from China on a Lufthansa cargo plane, were immediately driven to Berlin zoo. They will be introduced to the public next week by Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chinese President Xi Jinping. "They slept a bit, munched on their bamboo and nibbled on some cookies," veterinarian Andreas Ochs told reporters at Berlin's Schoenefeld airport shortly after their eagerly anticipated arrival. The bears will be officially presented to the public at Berlin zoo on 6 July. China, famed for its "panda diplomacy", has been selective in dispatching its national treasure, with about a dozen countries receiving the bears as a symbol of close relations. "The Chinese see the pandas as Chinese brand ambassadors," said Bernhard Bartsch from the Bertelsmann Foundation, a think-tank in Berlin, adding: "The pandas will lend a very positive spin in German media to the visit by [China's President] Xi Jinping in July." The Popular Protection Units (YPG) said it had finished training local security units in Manbij, which it captured from Islamic State militants in August. YPG fighters based there will join the US-backed offensive on IS-held Raqqa. Turkey considers the YPG a terrorist organisation and an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). It has repeatedly called for YPG fighters to be moved east of the Euphrates. Turkey has vowed to prevent the creation of a contiguous Kurdish autonomous region along its border with Syria, and is backing an offensive by Syrian rebels to take control of one of the last remaining stretches of the frontier not controlled by the YPG. The US special presidential envoy to the global coalition against IS, which backs an alliance of Kurdish and Arab groups that is dominated by the YPG, described Wednesday's announcement about Manbij as a "milestone". "Our coalition is proud to train and support local forces to defend their home areas as the best formula to ensure [IS] can never return," Brett McGurk wrote on Twitter. Mr McGurk added that units from the Kurdish-Arab alliance, known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), were continuing their advance east of the Euphrates to isolate Raqqa. At a news conference in Ankara, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he was confident the YPG would withdraw from Manbij on Wednesday or Thursday. He also announced that the rebels whose offensive Turkey is backing were now bearing down on al-Bab, the last IS stronghold in the northern province of Aleppo. "The Free Syrian Army [rebel force], with the support of our special forces, is about 2km (1.25 miles) away and the siege is continuing as planned," he told a news conference in Ankara. "There is resistance now, but I don't think it will last much longer." Since the offensive began in late August, the rebels have driven IS militants out of more than 1,300 sq km (500 sq miles) of territory and recaptured the key border town of Jarablus and the symbolically important village of Dabiq. Mr Erdogan has said that after taking al-Bab, the rebels will push further south. The advice follows a European study that found dangerous manoeuvres, such as slapping, were often used instead. Only a quarter of the 553 children in the study were put into the recommended first-aid position that keeps the airway clear and open. Nearly half were instead shaken, slapped or had water flicked on their face in an attempt to bring them round. Putting the child in the recovery position was associated with a significantly lower risk - 28% - of hospital admission, the Archives of Disease in Childhood study found. In comparison, potentially dangerous manoeuvres appeared to double the risk - probably because the patients didn't recover as quickly, according to the study authors. How to do it: How to put someone in the recovery position Lead researcher Dr Luigi Titomanlio said, ideally, everyone should know how to place an infant, child or adult in the recovery position. "It is so simple to do. It's a simple manoeuvre that can be performed by even a six-year-old." He said it was understandable that parents might panic if their child has a fit or faint and loses consciousness and that is when first aid training should kick in. "What was really worrying was that some parents were shaking their baby. This is dangerous. You can have brain damage from this, especially in children less than two years old," he said. "People should use the recovery position. You can do it even in a baby. The important thing is getting the chin in the right position to protect the airway." Dr Ffion Davies, from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "It would be great if studies like this prompt more parents to learn some basic first aid. "It would not only help in situations of crisis but also give parents peace of mind that they are a little more prepared if faced with an emergency." The "amazing discovery" of a sloth's hip bone and a fragment of a bison's radius bone was made about 16ft (5m) below ground in Park Mesa Heights. Scientists say the Harlan Ground Sloth could have weighed 1,500lb (680kg), and been up to 10 feet in length. Both species have been extinct for at least 10,000 years. The discovery was made on 16 May and it took scientists at the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum about eight days to identify them. The bison and sloth probably lived about 11,000 to 40,000 years ago, in the late Pleistocene area, according to the Metro press release. Other ancient large mammals that became extinct around the same era include massive camels, mastadons and mammoths. The remains of an ancient camel and a mastodon or mammoth were discovered earlier this year during excavation beneath Wilshire Boulevard as the city expanded the Metro's Purple Line. The latest two fossils discovered are currently being held at the Paleo Solutions laboratory, and may later be transferred to the LA natural history museum.

The new blood cells will be made in bulk from stem cells that normally circulate in the blood. Around 20 people will be given small quantities of the "lab-blood" as part of safety tests. NHS Blood and Transplant said it would be a "landmark" moment and could help people with diseases such as sickle cell anaemia. The organisation is facing falling numbers of new blood donors. Artificial blood is one potential solution, particularly for patients for whom it is hard to find a good blood match. The trial will be organised by the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge and Oxford and will start by 2017. Healthy people - not patients - will be given five to 10ml (less than two teaspoons) of the manufactured blood. This is much smaller than a transfusion of a unit of blood - which is around 470ml. Dr Nick Watkins, from NHS Blood and Transplant, said: "Scientists across the globe have been investigating for a number of years how to manufacture red blood cells to offer an alternative to donated blood to treat patients. "We are confident that by 2017 our team will be ready to carry out the first early phase clinical trials in human volunteers. "These trials will compare manufactured cells with donated blood. "The intention is not to replace blood donation, but provide specialist treatment for specific patient groups."

Blood that has been made in a laboratory will be tested by the NHS within two years.

Dr Jim Swire, who lost his daughter Flora, and some other UK relatives believe Abdelbaset al-Megrahi suffered a miscarriage of justice. They want the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission to send his case back to the High Court for a fresh appeal. US relatives have written a letter saying they do not support the move. The Libyan agent was jailed in 2001 for murdering the 270 people who died when Pan AM flight 103 exploded over southern Scotland on 21 December 1988. He dropped a second appeal against his conviction days before the Scottish government released him on compassionate grounds in August 2009. Megrahi died from cancer three years later. A posthumous appeal is possible if it is deemed to serve the "interests of justice" and is sought by someone with a "legitimate interest" in the case. Dr Swire's application was made jointly with members of Megrahi's family, including someone named as the executor of his estate. The Megrahi family would be expected to qualify to request an appeal. The SCCRC was proceeding on that basis but became convinced that the application was only "actively supported" by victims' families. Never before has a murder conviction been appealed in these circumstances. In December, the commission asked the High Court to decide if Dr Swire and other UK relatives had a "legitimate interest" to pursue the case. The judge, Lady Dorrian, has asked interested parties to make submissions to the court before the matter is considered at a hearing in March. It is not clear if US relatives will make legal representations but their letter to the SCCRC sets out their opposition to a fresh appeal. "We do not support this petition," they say. "Nor do we support the position of the UK family member, Dr Jim Swire and those with whom he stands on this matter. "It is past time for Dr Swire and the Megrahi supporters to end their disgraceful and expensive campaign". The letter is signed by the chairman of Victims of Pan AM flight 103, Mary Kay Stratis, whose husband Elia died in the bombing. Dr Swire has long believed that Megrahi was wrongfully convicted of the bombing and that Libya was not behind the plot. A spokesperson for the SCCRC said it had been made aware of the US families letter by the Crown Office, which oversees prosecutions in Scotland. The siblings, then aged 10 and 11, carried out the "sadistic" attack in Edlington, near Doncaster, in 2009. Now aged 18 and 19, the brothers were granted lifelong anonymity by High Court judge Sir Geoffrey Vos. Outlining his reasons for making the order he said he felt the brothers were "equally committed to rehabilitation". Sir Geoffrey said the younger brother had made "his own statement" at a hearing on 9 December. "He fully acknowledged the extreme gravity of his offences, and said compellingly that he now feels inside like a completely different person," said the judge in his ruling. "He said that, '[it] has taken a long time to get there and I have done loads of work with professionals in secure to work through what I did and why I did it. "'I now feel like I have become the opposite to that person who did the crimes. "'I desperately want to carry on being the person I have become. I want to get a job or maybe even go to uni'." Sir Geoffrey added: "The other evidence before me suggests that [his] ambitions may be genuinely capable of realisation." He went on: "I have no doubt that [the older brother] is equally committed to the path of rehabilitation." The brothers' victims, aged nine and 11, were throttled, hit with bricks, made to eat nettles, stripped and forced to sexually abuse each other in the attack. A sink was dropped on the older boy's head, and the younger boy had a sharp stick rammed into his arm and cigarettes pushed into the wound. Parts of the attack were recorded on a mobile phone. The brothers, who admitted causing grievous bodily harm, were sentenced to a minimum of five years' detention in 2010. They were released earlier this year and given new identities. Sir Geoffrey said he was satisfied the anonymity order was in the public interest. Defending champion Renaud Lavillenie of France looked on course to retain his title after clearing a height of 5.98m. Da Silva failed in his first attempt at 6.03m but went clear with his second to win Brazil's second gold of the Games. "Incredible," said the 22-year-old champion. "My first time over six metres. My home town wanted me to win." Lauvillenie, who was booed by the partisan crowd, took silver, but said he was "disturbed" by the "nastiness" of the atmosphere. American Sam Kendricks sealed bronze with 5.85m. "The crowd were cheering me too much," added Da Silva. "I had to fix my mind on my technique, forget the people." The competition had been delayed because of rain and then held up again when a mechanical fault meant the bar could not be raised. But it ended in a thrilling conclusion that finished just before midnight local time. Da Silva, a former world junior champion, added 11 centimetres to his previous personal best to set a national record and become only the fourth Brazilian to win a track and field gold at an Olympic Games. The last Brazilian Olympic gold medallist in an athletics event was Maurren Maggi, who won the women's long jump at Beijing 2008. World record holder Lavillenie had to appeal for quiet from the Rio crowd as he prepared for a jump at 6.08m that would have put him back into the lead. He also gave a thumbs-down gesture to the cameras. "In 1936, the crowd was against Jesse Owens," he said. "We've not see this since. We have to deal with it. "There is no respect, no fair play. It's the Olympics. If there's no respect in the Olympics, where can we get respect? I'm very, very sad and disappointed by the Brazilian public that was in the stadium. Find out how to get into athletics with our special guide. "Better to stay at home in front of your television than come and whistle. At least then we'd have people in the stadium who want to watch sport." African-American athlete Owens won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, which were being used by Adolf Hitler to promote Nazi ideologies of racial superiority. Lavillenie added: "It really disturbed me, I felt the nastiness of the public and we do a sport where you never see that. "You see it in football. It is the first time I have seen it in track and field. It is the biggest moment of your life. I can't be happy about that. Now I have to wait four years to get back the gold." Lavillenie later apologised for his comments, saying he made the Jesse Owens comparison immediately after the competition when very upset. American vaulter Kendricks said: "Brazil is an emotional place, a place that has a culture around football, it's not necessarily against the other man. I took it with a grain of salt that they were booing." Former Olympic javelin silver medallist Steve Backley: "No way in your life have you ever seen drama such as this. The place has gone wild. How on earth has he done that? The jump of his life." Former Olympic 1500m silver medallist Steve Cram: "I've seen some things in my years competing and watching athletics... that has got to be one of the best moments. Home crowd, home boy, higher than ever, better than ever." BBC Sport's Tom Fordyce "That might just be the moment Brazil's Olympics have been waiting for. Every Games needs an iconic gold in the Olympic Stadium - think Cathy Freeman in Sydney, Michael Johnson in Atlanta, Fermin Cacho in Barcelona, the Mo/Jess/Greg triptych in London - but with so few chances and all of them outsiders, we thought it might not happen in Rio. "A local kid put that right in spectacular fashion, destroying his old personal best, smashing the Olympic record, dethroning the reigning champion."

The host were 3-0 in front after the opening 16 minutes with Michael Forney, Riley and Colin Shields on target. Trevor Johnson pulled one back at the end of the first period but Riley restored the three-goal advantage three minutes into the second period. Adam Harding make it 4-2 before Shields scored in the final seconds. The victory takes Belfast three points clear of third-placed Sheffield Steelers, who were beaten 4-1 by Coventry Blaze on Saturday night. The Giants are seven points behind leaders Cardiff Devils but their title challenge has faded, with the focus now on the play-offs. Next up for the Giants are home league matches against Nottingham Panthers next Friday and Sunday. The defeat means the 28-year-old Briton will lose his world number two ranking to Roger Federer on Monday. The Scot was blown away in the opening set, but fought back to level, only to fall to the Serb's power and accuracy in the decider. Djokovic now moves ahead of Spain's Rafael Nadal with a record 29 ATP Masters 1000 titles. The Serb underlined his current dominance as he claimed his fifth title in the past six Masters tournaments but he was pushed hard by Murray, exemplified by a 14-minute final game as Djokovic survived six deuces and seven break points to hold for the match. "The first couple of break points I remember making two mistakes," said Murray. "It was kind of back and forth from there and unfortunately I couldn't quite break, which was a shame because both of us on the break points until that last game were pretty clinical." Djokovic broke Murray's serve in the opening game and the 2011 winner gave a masterclass combining powerful ground shots with brutal accuracy as he found the lines with uncanny regularity. Murray found his second serve coming under huge pressure and Djokovic duly earned a double break before racing to the first set in just 31 minutes. In the second, however, the Scot's serve began to click into gear and, having won just 17% of points on his second serve in the first set, he increased it to an impressive 60% in the second. Djokovic made crucial forehand and backhand errors in the third game before serving a double-fault to be broken for only the second time in the tournament. The Madrid crowd who were muted as Murray beat local favourite Rafael Nadal 7-5 6-4 in Saturday's semi-finals were now encouraging the Briton, who responded with some of his best tennis of the week as he won the set with a cheeky drop shot from the back of the court. It was Djokovic's turn to regroup and after a comfortable hold needed just one of two break points to take the early initiative in the decider. But this was a different Murray from the opening set and the Scot immediately broke back with Djokovic again serving a double fault at the crucial moment. Again, however, the world number one raised the bar and this time it proved crucial with a decisive break in the sixth game. "When you play against the best players, you are probably not going to win every single time," said Murray. "But you want to make the matches extremely difficult for them: physically and mentally, so it's not comfortable. So I think at least today I did that, but unfortunately didn't get the win. "It's been a positive week for me this week overal l- a few years ago I wouldn't have thought I'd be winning against Rafa and then pushing Novak this close on a clay court." "Murray began the match a shadow of the man who had played so well in Madrid all week. The first set wasn't a contest, but once given an opening by the world number one early in the second, Murray started playing with real conviction, and pushed his man to the limit. "At 2-2 in the decider the match was genuinely in the balance. Djokovic's response, though, was characteristically brilliant, and after surviving a bout of jitters and a 14-minute final game, he deservedly clinched his record 29th Masters series title." They might only have a little bit of information about their environment, but in a group, different animals might have separate but complementary information about a particular problem. Some may know where to find food but not how to access it. Others might know how to get at it but not where it is hidden, scientists at St Andrews University found. In a set of experiments, scientists at the university's school of biology set out to determine whether leadership - the pulling of the group by informed members - could allow groups of animals to pool their experience in order to solve problems collectively. Their findings, which could have implications for businesses and even bio-inspired swarm robotics, are published on the Nature Ecology & Evolution website. Dr Mike Webster, of St Andrews University, said: "To tackle this question we presented shoals of stickleback fish with a two-part problem, in which they had to first find, and then access, some hidden food. "Individual fish were either inexperienced or had experience of just one of the stages. "We found that in shoals that comprised individuals trained in each of the stages more fish did indeed access the food, and did so more rapidly, compared with other shoal composition which only contained fish trained to one or to neither of two parts of the problem. "Supporting our idea that leadership played a role in this, we found strong effects of having experienced members in the group, with the presence of these greatly increasing the likelihood of untrained fish completing each part of the problem." Researchers have known that larger groups tend to outperform smaller groups and lone individuals when completing certain tasks. The new study shows that experience pooling, where subsets of the group assume leadership roles when completing the specific part of a task in which they have knowledge or competence, is a plausible mechanism by which this might happen. Professor Kevin Laland, of St Andrews University, said: "There may be lessons to be learned for human behaviour too. "Businesses and institutions already make good use of teams with diverse skills sets, and the natural world might provide further inspiration for how these groups might be put together and organised. "Finally, artificial intelligence researchers are focusing heavily on bio-inspired swarm robotics, and the kinds of collective information processing mechanisms uncovered by this study might potentially be deployed by other researchers designing software and behaviour rules for fleets of drones." The city council confirmed the board had "varied the licence", meaning the venue could no longer stay open until 03:00 and must close by midnight. Last month police made a bid to have the club closed after a woman was found unconscious and officers recorded 26 drug and alcohol-related incidents. It was rejected after a lawyer for The Arches argued this was inappropriate. Last year The Arches announced it was raising its minimum age for admission to 21 after the suspected drug-related death of a teenage girl who fell ill there but the over 18's policy was later reinstated. Regane MacColl, 17, died after becoming ill at the club in February 2014. Police linked her death to an ecstasy-like "Mortal Kombat" tablet. Inspector Mark Sutherland, area commander for Glasgow city centre, said they recognised the decision of the licensing board. "Our aim is always to work closely with licence holders to uphold the law and provide a safe environment for their patrons to enjoy alcohol responsibly," he said. "Where breaches of licensing legislation occur we will take appropriate action and record and report this to the local licensing authority." Participating in the tests for the first time, the country's 15-year-olds scored higher in reading, maths and science than many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. It was an achievement that was as much of a surprise for Vietnamese officials as for outside observers. So how did Vietnam do so well? There are three key factors that contributed to these impressive results: committed leadership, a focused curriculum, and investment in teachers. People at the highest levels of government in Vietnam are thinking about the challenges they face in educating their young. Very few other countries have shown a similar level of forward thinking and determination. The education ministry has designed a long-term plan. It is eager to learn from the best-performing countries on how to implement that plan successfully and is ready to commit the financial support that is needed. Almost 21% of all government expenditure in 2010 was devoted to education - a larger proportion than seen in any OECD country. The nation's educators have also designed a curriculum that focuses on pupils gaining a deep understanding of core concepts and mastery of core skills. More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch Contrast that with the mile-wide but inch-deep curriculums that you find in much of Europe and North America and you understand why so many of these Vietnamese students excel. These students are expected to leave education not just able to recite what they have learned in class, but to apply those concepts and practices in unfamiliar contexts. In Vietnamese classrooms there is an impressive level of rigour, with teachers challenging students with demanding questions. The teachers focus on teaching a few things well and with a great sense of coherence that helps students to progress. Teachers in Vietnam are highly respected, both in society as well as in their classrooms. That may be a cultural trait, but it also reflects the role that teachers are given in the education system, which extends well beyond delivering lessons in school and embraces many dimensions of student well-being and support. Teachers are expected to invest in their own professional development and that of their colleagues, and they work with a high degree of professional autonomy. Vietnam first entered Pisa tests in 2012 - coming 17th in maths, 8th in science, 19th in reading - higher than the US in all subjects, which was ranked 36th at maths, 28th at science, 23rd at reading. In global rankings published by the OECD in May 2015, based on science and maths, Vietnam was ranked 12th, while the US was in joint 28th. In fact, mathematics teachers, especially those working in disadvantaged schools, receive more professional development than the average in OECD countries. These teachers know how to create a positive learning environment, foster good discipline in the classroom, and help to build students' positive attitudes towards learning. This is also helped by the encouragement of parents, who generally hold high expectations for their children, and by a society that values education and hard work. What Vietnam has achieved in education in so short a time is remarkable. But some 37% of Vietnamese 15-year-olds are not in school and the challenge now is to get them enrolled. And the test results, based on those who are in classrooms and learning, say nothing about those young people who are not in school at all. The government has made it a priority to get all young people into education and so far the education system has been good at absorbing disadvantaged children and giving them equal access to education. Almost 17% of Vietnam's poorest 15-year-old students are among the 25% top-performing students across all countries and economies that participate in the Pisa tests. By comparison the average across OECD countries is that only 6% of disadvantaged students are considered "resilient" by this measure. But achieving and maintaining quality is harder than expanding quantity, and Vietnam will have to be careful not to let the quality of its education suffer as it broadens access to more children. As the highest-performing countries show, excellence is generally associated with giving individual schools greater autonomy in curriculum and tests, particularly when there are strong accountability measures in place. For Vietnam this will mean finding a way to balance a centralised leadership with a flexible, autonomous environment for individual schools. To fully reap the returns of investing in education, Vietnam has to change not only the supply of its skills, but the demand for those skills as well. As a recent report suggests, Vietnam stands to gain three times its current GDP by 2095 if all of its children were enrolled in secondary school and they all acquired at least basic skills in mathematics and science by 2030 - and if the country's labour market were able to absorb and use all of that talent. If Vietnam does not create a demand for higher skills, then well-educated Vietnamese may choose to take their skills elsewhere. Liberalising the country's labour market must be considered at the same time as the country works to build a more highly skilled labour force. It's a lot to ask of a country and a people, but Vietnam has already shown that it is up to the challenge and, most important, willing and eager to accept and meet that challenge. "If it were possible for me to be sold, I would sell myself,'' he said in a speech on state television. A joke page on Ebay "selling" Mr Sisi was created and bids passed $100,000 (£72,000) within hours. The page was later removed. Mr Sisi also asked Egyptians to make donations to the country by text. The remarks were made as he unveiled an economic development plan for 2030. Egypt's economic problems include a sharp decline in foreign investment and tourism revenues amidst years of social unrest. The country also pays large amounts to cover fuel subsidies and servicing its domestic debt, and has suffered from high inflation and unemployment. Egypt country profile How important is tourism to Egypt? Within minutes of Mr Sisi's comments, a listing for the sale of "a used field marshal" with a photograph attached on the president appeared on Ebay. He was also mocked for asking Egyptians to each donate "10 pounds ($1.2; £0.9) to Egypt by mobile text" to help lower the country's enormous financial burden. Many users took to Twitter to criticise and make fun of his comments, and the hashtag #Ebay was a trending topic in the country. Mr Sisi vowed to continue building the country "until my life or term [in office] ends" and urged Egyptians to listen only to him if they "truly love" Egypt. "Do not listen to anyone else but me," he urged. The council had proposed to build an incinerator at Saddlebow, King's Lynn, but the project was scrapped earlier this year at a cost of £33m. Labour council leader George Nobbs said the site would not be sold or rented to any company to build an incinerator. The council is now to develop a strategy to recycle and reuse waste. Mr Nobbs, who heads an alliance of Labour, Lib Dem and Ukip councillors supported by the Greens, said: "Land in different parts of the county would be set aside for waste disposal use. "But there is no intention of building an incinerator anywhere in the county." The scheme to incinerate waste from across Norfolk to generate energy and reduce the need for landfill was spearheaded by the county's former Conservative administration . When the party lost control of the authority in 2013, councillors voted to withdraw from the scheme following delays in obtaining planning permission, due to the scheme being called in by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles. The cancellation of the contract cost the authority more than £33m in compensation to contractors Cory Wheelabrator. Conservative councillor Bill Borrett said the waste disposal issue in Norfolk was still not resolved and a solution had to be found that did not involve landfill. The Conservative-run West Norfolk Council had opposed the incinerator plan and celebrated alongside the local protest group King's Lynn without Incineration when the project was abandoned. The left-winger is ahead of his rivals in the race to replace Ed Miliband, according to a Times opinion poll. He also dismissed claims that he would split the party if chosen as leader. The Islington North MP was speaking to journalists after promising a "publicly led expansion and reconstruction of the economy" in a speech in London. His comments came after former prime minister Tony Blair said he would take the country backwards if elected and that anyone with his politics in their heart should "get a transplant". "I do not know what he means by taking the country backwards," Mr Corbyn said, adding that Mr Blair's suggestion he was the Tory preference amounted to "rather silly remarks". "Surely we should be talking about the situation facing Britain today, the situation facing many of the poorest people in this country today, and maybe think if our policies are relevant," he said. "A lot of people are supporting us, particularly young people supporting us who want a very different Labour Party to the one they've had in the past." In his speech on the economy, Mr Corbyn said austerity was a "political choice not an economic necessity". You would expect people who are eligible to vote in the Labour leadership contest to be unusually interested in politics. But the full details of the poll show that of the 1,056 people polled, 80% said they would definitely be voting in the leadership election while another 15% said they would probably be voting. I know that the rules for the leadership election have been changed, but it still seems a very high turnout. Compare it with the 2010 leadership election, when about 72% of constituency Labour Party members voted. Labour poll: have we learned nothing? He promised to protect public services and increase taxes on the wealthy, arguing that "all of us are an accident away from needing a benefits system that sustains us The YouGov poll for The Times suggests that in the final round of voting, the Islington MP would get 53% of support, six points ahead of Andy Burnham. Liz Kendall and Yvette Cooper are also in the contest. Mr Corbyn only made it onto the ballot paper at the last minute after MPs who supported other candidates "lent" him their nominations to get him into the contest, arguing Labour needed as wide a debate as possible about its future direction. John McTernan, a former adviser to Tony Blair, has described those MPs who helped him reach the leadership shortlist as "morons". Mr Corbyn dismissed this, saying: "I don't get involved in personal stuff, it's really not worth it. That kind of remark is really uncalled for in any kind of politics." Labour peer Lord Foulkes said those who nominated Mr Corbyn despite disagreeing with him should be "searching their consciences right now". They should "realise they've put the Labour Party in to a very difficult position", he told the BBC. But Frank Field, who nominated Mr Corbyn despite disagreeing fundamentally with him about economic policy, said the other candidates had failed to articulate an alternative to Mr Corbyn's stance of "deficit denial". "I would be surprised if Jeremy wanted to win. He really wanted to test the arguments and the mettle of the other candidates," he told BBC News. "He has played his role. Sadly we have not had the other candidates with the abilities to take him on and say...'this is my vision, these are my priorities, there are my values'." The pieces of gutta percha have been found on beaches in Cornwall, Devon, northern France and the Netherlands in the last year. The Porthcurno Telegraph Museum in Cornwall said the blocks bore the name of a 19th Century plantation. The material was used to insulate telegraph cables on the seabed. Marc Cragg from the museum said: "Gutta percha is from Indonesia and is very similar to rubber. "It has been a central part of telegraph systems for the last 100 years or so." His colleague Rachel Webster said: "Many of the cables which were insulated with it remain in situ on the seabed." Mr Cragg said: "It looks like there was a shipwreck 80 miles (130km) or so off the coast of Brittany in the Western Approaches." He added that the gutta percha, which would have been stored as cargo, could have been released during a salvage operation. "If you look at the distribution, it would make sense," Mr Cragg said. The museum said the blocks, which were about 12in (30cm) by 14in (35cm) had the letters "TJIPETIR", which was believed to be the name of a rubber plantation in the Dutch East Indies in the 19th Century. In recent months staff have been working to find out how many blocks have washed-up. It added that gutta percha was used to make golf balls, teddy bear noses and decorative items such as picture frames and jewellery. They were struck by a double-decker First Glasgow service, at the corner of Argyle and Queen Street, at 14:30. Both casualties were removed from under the bus and taken to the city's Royal Infirmary where their condition was described as critical. Eyewitnesses described "horrific" and "hysterical" scenes in the aftermath. A police investigation is under way. The bus driver was uninjured but said to be extremely shaken as a result of the incident. Eyewitness Jan Watson told the BBC: "We were coming out from Primark and we saw the bus coming along and going round the corner. "It just stopped dead. We approached the crossing and people were coming round and we just followed the people. We saw a woman trapped underneath the wheel." She added: "There was a lot of shouting and screaming. A few people were hysterical because they had actually witnessed it. It was horrific. "I saw part of the lady and saw something under the wheel which I have been told is an elderly man." Jordan Macrae, 18, told BBC Scotland he was coming out of a shop on Argyle Street when the crash happened. "From what we could see there was two people under the bus," he said. "It was horrible. There was screaming. Everyone was on their phone trying to call the emergency services." "Everyone was crowding round, trying to see if they could help. The people that went and helped were really good." Sgt Andrew Mair from Police Scotland said: "Where the crash happened is an extremely busy shopping area, and I would appeal to any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police to contact us." There was a major deployment of emergency services to the crash scene. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it had up to 25 firefighters on the scene, who used airbags to release two people from underneath the bus. A spokesman said: "Scottish Fire and Rescue Service crews attended an incident in Queen Street in Glasgow city centre following a call from ambulance control around 2.35pm. "Four appliances from Calton and Cowcaddens community fire stations attended the incident along with a heavy rescue vehicle from Easterhouse. "The firefighters, who were working closely with paramedics and doctors, used airbags to release two people from beneath a bus. "Both casualties were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary by ambulance." A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service said they had "a number of ambulance crews" on the scene as well as a special operations team and a trauma team. A spokeswoman for First Group said: "We can confirm an incident occurred this afternoon involving a First Glasgow service and two pedestrians. "We are doing everything we can to support the emergency services and a full investigation to establish exactly what happened is under way." BBC Scotland political reporter Andrew Black, who is at the scene, said: "Just after 16:00 accident investigators arrived, so very quickly the investigation to establish exactly what happened here this afternoon is taking place. "It is expected that that will continue for some hours to come." GE said it no longer posed "any conceivable threat to US financial stability". US regulators labelled GE Capital a systemically important financial institution (SIFI) in 2013. SIFIs fall under stricter regulations to protect the financial system. The label is given by a group of US regulators - known as the Financial Stability Oversight Council- which includes the US Treasury Department and Federal Reserve. Most SIFIs are banks such as JP Morgan and Citigroup, but the FSOC has labelled a number of institutions in this category, including insurance firms and non-bank lenders. A spokesperson from the US Treasury Department said in a statement, "The council's authority to designate nonbank financial companies is a critical tool to address potential threats to financial stability." The spokesperson said there was a "clear process for de-designation" but gave no timeline for addressing GE's application. The SIFI designation was developed as part of the 2010 Wall Street reforms, after the US public was forced to bailout Wall Street banks and insurer AIG. The label is given to institutions whose collapse could have a significant impact on the financial system and the economy. It requires them to hold excess funds to protect against a collapse. The government argued that because insurance firms and non-bank lenders have ties to many other financial institutions and hold large amounts of financial obligations, their collapse could be detrimental to the US economy. GE announced in April 2015 that it would be reducing the size of GE Capital and focusing on industrial and manufacturing financing. "Our plan to change our business model, shrink the company and reduce our risk profile has been successful," said GE Capital chief executive, Keith Sherin. "We believe GE Capital no longer meets the criteria to be designated as a SIFI and we look forward to working co-operatively and constructively with the FSOC through the rescission process," he said. On Wednesday, US insurance firm MetLife won a court battle to remove its "too big to fail" label. MetLife filed a lawsuit in 2015 arguing the regulators had violated their own rules when it placed the insurer in the same category as large banks. "From the beginning, MetLife has said that its business model does not pose a threat to the financial stability of the United States. This decision is a win for MetLife's customers, employees and shareholders," Steven Kandarian, MetLife's chief executive said in a statement. The decision was a blow to regulators and could mean more non-bank SIFIs appeal against the "too big to fail" tag in court, rather than reducing their size like GE. The Treasury Department said on Wednesday that it "strongly disagreed" with the judges decision. "We are confident that FSOC's determination was lawful and will continue to defend the Council's designations process vigorously," a spokesperson said.

He also spoke of his relationship with "special" manager Claudio Ranieri and striker Jamie Vardy. Srivaddhanaprabha Sr owns the King Power duty free chain which lends its name to the club's stadium. The family have rarely spoken publicly since taking over the club in 2010. In the wide-ranging BBC Sport interview, his son reveals: Leicester won the Premier League title on Monday despite being 5,000-1 outsiders and tipped for relegation at the start of the season. Media playback is not supported on this device Ranieri was a surprise choice as manager, with many pundits tipping him for the sack at the start of the season. The 64-year-old Italian lost his previous job as head coach of Greece after a defeat by the Faroe Islands - but Srivaddhanaprabha said he was struck by the former Chelsea boss. "Claudio is a brilliant manager. The way he managed the media with the pressure of the team, he has so much experience with football," he said. "The way he managed the players and put them out on the field was something special. We saw that when we interviewed him. He has something special inside and has all the plans in his head. "We interviewed quite a number of managers and he was the one I chose the first time. When I met him, he was the first choice for me." Media playback is not supported on this device England striker Jamie Vardy, 29, is the top flight's second-top scorer and found the net 11 games in a row earlier in the season - a Premier League record. He is now one of the most sought after strikers in Europe - but was signed for £1m from the then non-league Fleetwood Town in 2012. "Steve Walsh [assistant manager] asked me to buy non-league players and I thought it was funny. Then when he showed me all the information about him, it was amazing. He scores 29 or 30 goals a year so we can see he can score and has a record. "When I met him, he was quite a special character. He wanted success, he had the hunger to be the best striker in the team, even though he came from non-league. "He talked to me openly about wanting to be in the Premier League and he said he will try anything to take the club to the Premier League. He said to me on the first day he wants to play for England, I said to him, 'I will help you. Anything you want, I will do it'."

It is inspirational and people talk about it. We set the standard of the sport and inspiration for the whole world. "It is not just for the sport, it is life. If people use Leicester as the standard now, if they fight, they try - then they can achieve one day. Everything has to be right as well. "It is a miracle for the city, it is a miracle for the players but we have a job to do. They worked hard to be in this position. It is not just lucky. "All the middle clubs in the team will try now as they are inspired by Leicester. They will believe so it will be more difficult for the big clubs and for Leicester to try again." Media playback is not supported on this device Earlier on Thursday, the agent of Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez - a £400,000 buy from French side Le Havre - said it was "50/50" whether the Algeria forward would be at the club next season. Other players have also been linked with moves to more established clubs. That prompted Ranieri to speak about his desire to keep the team together at his Thursday news conference - and his vice-chairman echoed that sentiment. "We will play in the Champions League next season, why would they want to move? I don't see the reason," said Srivaddhanaprabha. "We will try to keep them but it depends on the players as well. If they want to move, we will talk to them and ask why they have to move." Media playback is not supported on this device "Everything has turned to Leicester over the past seven months of the season. "Every team is doing well which is why the league has been so strange. All the teams try so hard to win every match so the big teams slip sometimes and we kept the momentum from last season. We tried to survive in the first half of the season and we achieved it earlier than we thought. "It was so nice to see the players try and the fans trying to support them and we have had the success now and it makes us so happy. It is difficult to say how we are feeling now to be the champions of the Premier League. "We have been in the first position from Christmas and New Year's Day and people were doubting, they thought we would slip to the middle of the table. We kept belief and dreaming. "There is no special secret but the team spirit is so great. They fight for each other and try to cover the mistakes for each other. They never stop and they kept believing. They are a special group of players and love each other. "When we bought the club, we said we love football and we will try everything to make the club successful. If you asked to if I believe can we win the league? Maybe not realistically. My father said he wanted the team to be in the Champions League one day, and we set the plan with all the staff. Media playback is not supported on this device "We will build the team to compete in the Premier League. We will compete in the Champions League next season and I am not saying we will win the big cup, but we will try. We want to keep our best players and we will add some quality players with the right people. I am not sure where we will finish next season. "We will try to win the league again. The target is the same, we want to build the squad and we try to stay in the Premier League as long as we can. To win the title again is so difficult. It will be super difficult from now. If we win, we win. "We are scouting for players now, we will see when we finish the season. We will talk with Claudio about how many players we want and in which position. I support everything they say. "If the scouting team ask me to spend, they need to have some reason. Claudio needs to support it as well. I can't as an owner say, 'you can go out and spend whatever you want. We are going to buy Ronaldo and Messi'. "As a club, we have to manage for the long term. Not just next season, but we need to build. The players have to be for the right position. We have to buy quality to add more for next season. Then we already have young players that we have bought like Demarai Gray and many others. Media playback is not supported on this device Twelve of the 20 Premier League clubs are now in the hands of foreign owners - and not all are seen as beneficial. While investment in Manchester City and Chelsea has been welcomed for bringing success, the Glazer family's handling of Manchester United has not always gone down well with fans despite some big money signings, while Randy Lerner's stewardship of Aston Villa has grown toxic at the relegated club. Srivaddhanaprabha, however, believes his family are doing "the right thing" - and the club's Thai fan base will grow as a result. "Thai people love football and the Premier League interests them the most. To be part of the owners, the Thai people are proud. They are waiting for the players to go to see them because they want to welcome and thank them. If Manchester United and Leicester play at the same time now, they will be switching the television. They want to see the team owned by Thais playing and they love it. "If you do the right thing, something good will come. We did last season and the season we got promoted. We supported the players, the staff, the fans. We do everything on and off the pitch. "If you have the foundation right, you can be good. Every owner tries to be successful in everything they do. They are devoted people and love sport. "We love football, we love sport and we know how important the fans are. I just need them to support the team. If they [the players] play at home, they feel safe - the support is there. Now even away, they feel the same. It is important for the performance. Now they play for the fans, for the support."

They are not registered with the French authorities and the numbers are constantly changing as some leave and new people arrive. But there are estimates. Officials in Calais conducted a "visual survey" of the Jungle last week and estimated that there are around 6,500 people currently there, 1,200 of them are unaccompanied children. Charities that work in the camp estimate that there are around 1,000 unaccompanied children out of a population of around 10,000 people living in the Jungle. An unaccompanied child in this context is anyone under the age of 18, separated from both parents and not being cared for by an adult who in law or by custom has responsibility to do so. The most vulnerable unaccompanied children are girls, those under the age of 13, and orphans. The Safe Passage UK charity said it had identified, in August, 387 children who could be resettled in the UK and passed this list to the Home Office. One hundred and eighty-seven of those children could be resettled under the EU's Dublin regulation, which allows unaccompanied refugee children to be placed in a country where they have a relative who can be responsible for their care. The rest could be brought to the UK on the basis of an amendment to the Immigration Act, originally put forward by Lord Dubs, which requires the government to arrange for the transfer to the UK of unaccompanied refugee children from Europe. On the charity's August list, the youngest child was eight years old, but the majority of them were between 14 and 17. Children seeking asylum have to first apply for asylum in France, and then the claim can be transferred to the UK if they have relatives here. It is not always easy to assess the claims. While some of the children, especially those who have come from Syria, have some of their identity documents with them, many do not. The Home Office says it has identified more than 80 unaccompanied children who have been accepted for transfer to the UK from France under the Dublin regulation and nearly all of whom have now arrived in the UK. The Met Office had warned of rain turning to snow as it moved east across the UK on Thursday, with snow confined to higher ground in Wales. Snow and ice warnings, forecasting showers of sleet and hail, are also in place for the whole of Friday. This may lead to "a risk of disruption" and "difficult driving conditions". The chief forecaster said: "A cold north to north-westerly airstream will keep the risk of wintry weather going through Friday. "However, amounts of snow are likely to be very variable with some places missing it altogether." People were warned to expect longer journey times. Check if this is affecting your journey On Thursday evening, police said the A470 Oerddrws Pass in Gwynedd was blocked in both directions, with 10 cars and a bus having become stuck in the road between Wyle Cop Street, in Dinas Mawddwy, and A487 at Cross Foxes. The road was "completely impassable due to the snow", with the blockage affecting motorists travelling between Mallwyd and Dolgellau, police said. Several cars were also involved in an accident in the snow on the A5104 at Treuddyn near Mold, in Flintshire, with no injuries reported. Friday's warnings cover Bridgend, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taff and Swansea. Vale of Glamorgan, Wrexham, Caerphilly, Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil are also included. Meanwhile, Dyfed-Powys Police encouraged walkers to park sensibly around the Storey Arms-area of Brecon this weekend as a high volume of visitors is expected for the Fan Dance endurance event at Pen y Fan. The force said snowfall over the Brecon Beacons and two pre-planned events led to significant disruption and traffic issues on the A470 last January. Cars parked on the side of the road in the National Park area caused "substantial difficulty" to emergency services vehicles which were called to a three-vehicle crash and created a hazard to pedestrians who had to walk in the road. Sgt Owen Dillion, of the roads policing unit, said: "Last January, we issued fines to over 100 vehicles parked illegally in one weekend. We really hope not to do the same this year." Mr Yentob has faced scrutiny for his role in its financial mismanagement and faced claims he tried to influence BBC coverage of the charity's demise. He also faced an investigation into his dual roles by the BBC Trust. The Trust has since concluded it would not be "appropriate or cost effective to look further at these matters". However, it has ordered a report into potential external conflicts of bosses. Yentob said the speculation over his conduct had been "proving a serious distraction" when the BBC was in "particularly challenging times". He will continue to make and present programmes for the corporation, including arts show Imagine. Kids Company, run by Camila Batmanghelidjh and Mr Yentob, collapsed in August amid claims of financial mismanagement - something its former bosses deny. Mr Yentob has been accused of trying to influence BBC journalists when he accompanied Ms Batmanghelidjh as she was interviewed on Radio 4's Today programme. In October, he told a House of Commons select committee he stood with the programme's producers while Ms Batmanghelidjh was being interviewed by its presenters. He denied that his presence was designed to put pressure on the producers, saying: "I just thought I was there to listen to what Camila said and this is an organisation that I'm familiar with. If it was intimidating, I regret it." Mr Yentob also phoned the BBC Two's Newsnight in July as the programme prepared to broadcast a report into the charity's government funding. He said his phone call was about a request they made to interview him, which he declined, and has said he has not "abused my position at the BBC". But on Tuesday, BBC Trust Rona Fairhead told the Today programme the corporation's editorial standards committee were looking into his involvement in the BBC's coverage of the charity. After meeting today, the Trust said there was no evidence he had hindered BBC News and its investigation of Kids Company, but said questions were raised about his behaviour. However, the Trust said, in light of his resignation, "it would not be proportionate, appropriate or cost effective to look further at these matters". But it said it is right to see if there are lessons to be learnt from the Yentob case, and has asked for a report on conflicts and external activities of managers On Thursday, BBC director general Tony Hall said BBC News had concluded that he did not influence its reporting of Kids Company. In a statement, Mr Yentob said: "The BBC is going through particularly challenging times and I have come to believe that the speculation about Kids Company and the media coverage revolving around my role is proving a serious distraction. "So I have spoken to Tony Hall and told him that I think it best that I step down from my senior management role as creative director at the end of this year and focus on programme-making and TV production - including of course the Imagine series. "I love the BBC and will continue to do everything I can to ensure that it thrives and fulfils the great expectations we all have of it." Alan Yentob found himself at the centre of a media storm as revelations about its management and its ultimate collapse made headline news. He had strong feelings about the stories - and expressed them. The BBC's creative director ringing BBC Newsnight and attending interviews at the Today programme raised more than a few questions. An internal inquiry concluded he had not influenced the investigations, but the questions did not end. In a statement, Lord Hall described Mr Yentob as "a towering figure in television, the arts, and a creative force for good for Britain". Lord Hall said: "He has served the BBC with distinction in a number of different executive roles - all of which have been characterised by his energy, creativity and commitment to public service. He has an extraordinary roll-call of achievement. "For the record, BBC News considered whether Alan Yentob had influenced the BBC's journalism on the reporting of Kids Company. They concluded that he did not. Despite that, I understand his reasons for stepping down as creative director. "He has been thinking about this carefully for some time and we have discussed it privately on a number of occasions. "I am pleased that Alan will be continuing his brilliant work as a programme maker at the BBC in the future." Camila Batmanghelidjh paid her own tribute to Yentob on Thursday, describing him as "a kind and creative human being". "Alan Yentob is recognised for his lucid and cutting edge understanding of the arts," she told the BBC. "He has always been generous in recognising talent and nurturing it. "Many successful careers are owed to him. What is less known about him is that he is passionate about social justice." The blaze gutted Newgrange Care Home in Cadmore Lane, Cheshunt, when it broke out at about 06:00 BST on Saturday. A further 33 residents were rescued from the collapsing building, three of whom needed hospital treatment for burns and smoke inhalation. They are said to be in a serious but stable condition. Hertfordshire Police said that formal identification of the two people who died had not yet taken place. A spokeswoman said that a joint investigation with the county's Fire and Rescue Service was continuing on Sunday. Chief fire officer for Hertfordshire, Darryl Keen, said the outcome could have been even worse had crews not reacted so quickly. "We had a number of people that were unable to get themselves out, you know, physically would not have been able to move even under normal circumstances," he said. More than 3.2m people are being asked whether they want to amend the country's constitution to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry. Polling stations opened at 07:00 BST with voting continuing until 22:00 BST and counting due to start on Saturday morning. Same-sex marriage is currently legal in 19 countries worldwide. Votes have already been cast in some islands as well as hospitals, hospices and nursing homes. Irish citizens who are registered are allowed to vote, but there is no postal voting. Many people returned to Ireland to cast their votes. They will be asked whether they agree with the statement: "Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex". The referendum is being held 22 years after homosexual acts were decriminalised in Ireland. In 2010, the government enacted civil partnership legislation, which provided legal recognition for gay couples. But there are some important differences between civil partnership and marriage, the critical one being that marriage is protected in the constitution while civil partnership is not. A constitutional convention established by the Irish government in 2013 considered the specifics of a proposal on extending marriage rights, as well as discussing other changes to the constitution. It voted in favour of holding a referendum on same-sex marriage and the date was announced by Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny earlier this year. A separate referendum, on whether the eligibility age of presidential candidates should be lowered from 35 to 21, is being held at the same time, along with a parliamentary by-election in the Carlow-Kilkenny constituency. They will join fans from the Republic of Ireland in receiving the Medal of the City of Paris. The city's mayor, Anne Hidalgo, said she wanted to mark the fans' "exemplary sportsmanship". She said both sets of supporters had displayed "enthusiasm, jolliness and fair play". The 'Grand Vermeil' is regarded as Paris's most prestigious honour and has been awarded to Nobel Prize in literature winner, Toni Morrison, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. Ms Hidalgo said the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland fans had participated in and contributed to the "festive atmosphere" that prevailed in Paris over the weeks. She said they were "a model for all the supporters of the world". No date has yet been set for the awarding of the medal. The Indian boxer announced on Monday that he would be based in the UK for training to start his professional career. Singh became the face of Indian boxing after winning a bronze medal in the middleweight category at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. "I don't want to compare myself to a legend like Pacquiao, but if I can achieve even half of what he has, I will consider myself successful," the Mid Day quotes the 29-year-old as saying. He said he would miss his official blue jersey, but wouldn't stop carrying the Indian flag at his bouts. "Just like how Pacquiao carried the Phillipines flag and (Floyd) Mayweather Jr carried the US flag to their bout, I will carry the Indian flag to my bouts. I've taken Indian boxing to a new, untested level and opened international avenues for our boxers. This cannot be viewed as un-patriotic," he said. But not everybody is impressed with his decision. Many were expecting Singh to win a medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. National coach Gurbax Singh said the decision was "surprising" for him. "I am in a state of shock because I never expected this would happen," The Indian Express quotes him as saying. Some argue that the boxer decided to turn professional and train in the UK because of the absence of world-class facilities and professional management in India. The boxer has often been critical of the sport's management in India. "There are so many things. If you see boxing affairs in India...there is no boxing federation right now and there are so many other reasons. When I came here [UK] to see the set up, they are all so professional. They all work step by step," he said. The Indian Amateur Boxing Federation (AIBF) was suspended by amateur boxing's international body in 2012 after reports of "manipulation" in the IABF elections in 2012. India's boxing affairs are currently overseen by an ad hoc team set up by the International Boxing Association. Some pundits feel that Singh can't be blamed for choosing a professional career and it certainly doesn't mean that "he has turned his back on India". "The jingoistic sections of our public and media are bound to holler. But I'm in Vijender's corner on this one," writes Shamya Dasgupta in The Economic Times. He acknowledges that Vijender "inspired a generation of boys and girls, especially in Haryana [state], to take up boxing seriously". "Yes, this could be start of something fantastic for Vijender, and Indian boxers on the whole. Why bring nationalism into it?" he asks. But can the boxer become the next Pacquiao from India? India's former professional boxer Raj Kumar Sangwan tells the Times of India that "Vijender can go a long way. He has the skills and boxing sense... but he needs to have more power and must be ready to be patient". For Singh, his bouts will always be about inspiring his fans and fellow boxers. "I am still a boxer. It shouldn't matter to them whether I am an amateur or a professional. I love the tricolor [Indian flag], and I want to see it go high in professional boxing too. That will be my aim," he told NDTV. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world. You can follow BBC Monitoring on Twitter and Facebook. Currently, households have no choice in which water company supplies them. Ofwat says greater competition could mean innovation and lower prices. Under the proposals, firms could buy water in batches from existing providers and sell it on to households. Companies could also offer bundles of services, selling gas, electricity or broadband alongside water. In theory it could mean that banks, supermarkets or phone companies could also sell water. "We are living in an age of retail revolution, but water customers are being left behind," said Ofwat chief executive Cathryn Ross. "The service offers from water companies can feel behind the curve compared to the innovation customers benefit from when buying other goods. The uncomfortable truth is that, when it comes to retail offers, water companies provide an analogue service in a digital age." According to Ofwat, greater competition may only have a modest impact on bills, with an annual saving of £8. But Ms Ross told the BBC that she expected that opening up the market would lead to better service as well as lower bills. "We would expect significant benefits to come through to customers in terms of better service," she said. "For instance, at the moment only two of the water companies in England let their customers manage their bills using an app. That's the kind of thing we'd expect to change and see real innovation." Ms Ross said that opening up the market would only work for customers if switching was made "as hassle-free as possible". Water UK, which represents the water companies, said in a statement: "Extending retail competition to over 20 million households could secure potential benefits for domestic customers, but would also be a major undertaking and so deserves to be given very careful consideration. "We look forward to a timely decision from government which helps sustain the stability the industry needs to continue successfully meeting the needs of its customers." The government still has to approve any proposals before the market is opened up. Earlier this year, a report from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), said millions of households in England and Wales were paying too much for their water supply because of poor oversight by Ofwat. PAC said the regulator consistently overestimated water companies' costs. The property at Inshriach House, an Edwardian country house on an estate near Aviemore, will feature on the programme next month. The winner is decided by a public vote. Inshriach House's owner Walter Micklethwait hopes Dash, a lamb who shares a bed with a dog called Monty, will win them some extra support. Mr Micklethwait, who built the shed with help from his girlfriend Lizzy Westman, has dubbed the lamb a "house sheep". He said: "Dash was rejected by her mother so has been living in our house. "She is 12 days old and thinks she is a dog."

"I think you should really have to work your way back," Murray told the Times. "But most tournaments will do what they think is best for their event. If they think big names will sell more seats, they're going to do that." Five-time Grand Slam winner Sharapova was banned for two years after testing positive for meldonium in January last year, but that suspension was reduced in October to 15 months following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Wimbledon organisers face the potential dilemma of whether to hand the 2004 champion, who no longer has a world ranking, a place in this year's tournament in July. "She has an opportunity to try to improve her ranking up until that point and potentially not need a wildcard," Murray said of Sharapova, who he played alongside at the International Premier Tennis League. "But then if she doesn't, that becomes Wimbledon's decision and how they want to play that. I'm sure they'll think long and hard about it and how they feel people will view it and then make the right decision for them." Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Curry Mallet is one of 25 locations celebrating the signing of charter by King John in Runnymede on 15 June 1215. Magna Carta established that the king was subject to the law rather than being above it. William Malet, the feudal baron of Curry Mallet, born around 1175, was one of Magna Carta's guarantors. The former Lord of the Manor of the village was one of the 25 rebel barons present at the signing. A district council grant helped the village commission the signs by Somerset-based designer Belinda Magee. Ms Magee worked with the Curry Mallet community to create a theme that reflected the "heritage" of the village. With a population of 306, Curry Mallet is one of the smallest communities involved in the celebrations, and the furthest south west, the council added. Village events over the anniversary weekend include taking part in a national peal of bells, choral performances, a pageant and a re-enactment of the sealing of Magna Carta. Van Gaal, 62, will be replaced by Guus Hiddink as coach of the Netherlands after this summer's World Cup. Spurs named Tim Sherwood, 45, as head coach on an 18-month deal in December. Ex-Chelsea boss Gullit told BBC Radio 5 live: "I know for sure he was at Van Gaal's house, the chairman. I think it's a done deal, but you never know." 2012-2013: Andre Villas-Boas 2008-2012: Harry Redknapp 2007-2008: Juande Ramos 2004-2007: Martin Jol June 2004-Nov 2004: Jacques Santini Van Gaal, who has previously managed Ajax, Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar and Bayern Munich, said recently: "I've always said that I want to work in the Premier League, so there's a chance." One proviso Van Gaal had made previously was that he was not prepared to combine two roles, but the end of his second spell as Netherlands coach this summer would allow him to pursue other jobs. However, a Spurs source questioned the timing of a rumoured meeting between Levy and Van Gaal, intimating any such conversations might have been before Sherwood's appointment, adding: "We don't comment on speculation." In his first managerial role, former Spurs midfielder Sherwood has presided over 10 wins, eight defeats and three draws in his 21 games in charge since taking over from Andre Villas-Boas in December, initially as interim boss. But he accepts that with only a short-term contract, speculation will continue about his future. He told the Independent: "Daniel wants the club to do well. He cares for the club. And I believe he wants me to do well. I would like [the contract] to be 10 years but I am realistic enough to know this is a dress rehearsal. I am untried. "What I would say is there is no guarantee [about the alternatives]. Someone could win 19 trophies elsewhere and they might not fit at Tottenham. The club has to fit the manager and you don't know until you bring them in. But they have a better idea with me than anyone else." Following the world record £85.3m sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid last August, Spurs spent £107m on seven new overseas players, recruitment overseen by technical director Franco Baldini, the former England assistant manager. "They are all internationals, but it is like fixing a washing machine with someone's tool bag," Sherwood added. "Sometimes you might not have the right bit." Greeks have been enthralled for months by the mystery surrounding the Amphipolis monument. Now Katerina Peristeri has revealed that fragmentary inscriptions link the tomb to Hephaestion. Hephaestion died less than a year before the Macedonian leader. After his death in 325BC, Alexander was said to have ordered that shrines be constructed throughout the empire. Ms Peristeri's team believe the site at Amphipolis may have been designed by one of two architects, Dinocrates or Stesicrates, and built by Antigonus, another of Alexander's generals. They also believe that tiny inscriptions found at the site show Hephaestion's monogram (two initials from his name). However, not everyone was convinced by the team's revelations. Prof Panayiotis Faklaris of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki told Greek radio on Thursday that there was no indication that the tomb had any connection to Hephaestion or that Alexander had ordered it to be constructed. There had earlier been speculation that the tomb may be linked to Alexander the Great's mother Olympias or his wife Roxana. And earlier this year bones were recovered at the site that belonged to at least five individuals, including an elderly woman, a newborn child and two men, one of whom had been stabbed. As well as 550 fragments of bone, animal as well as human, archaeologists have uncovered three vaulted chambers behind a facade decorated with two big marble sphinxes. Within the chambers were a pair of caryatids - larger-than-life statues of young women - and a mosaic pavement depicting the abduction of the goddess Persephone by Hades, king of the underworld. Alexander, who built an empire from modern Greece to India, was buried in Egypt although the precise location remains a mystery. As his generals fought over his legacy, his mother, widow, son and half brother were all killed, most of them near Amphipolis. Amphipolis site But Mr Ahmed, who runs the Egyptian Kebab House in Christchurch, wasn't fazed by the gun-wielding masked man demanding money. In fact, CCTV footage from inside the shop shows the cool kebab shop owner placing an order into a bag and handing it to a waiting customer, as the would-be robber continues to make his demands for cash. "He came into my shop and took out a gun from a bag and asked me to give him money," Mr Ahmed explained. "I'm not a hero. I just stayed calm and he wasn't expecting that. "I am a businessman. I hadn't finished with my customer and my priority was to finish serving him," Mr Ahmed said. "When the customer left I walked to the kitchen to call the police. I told him too and he couldn't believe it. "For a moment I was scared he might shoot but then I just thought if that happens then it is my destiny, but my calm reaction just surprised him I think and he just ran away." The CCTV footage of the incident in May was posted by Canterbury police on their Facebook page. It has been viewed 170,000 times and has more than 750 shares. Mr Ahmed said the footage of the casual hold-up has turned him into a local celebrity. He said: "Customers have been telling me how brave I am but I don't think I am brave. It just happened and I didn't really think anything of it. "It was a surprise because nothing like this has ever happened to me in the 15 years I have owned the shop. "It has made me a little bit famous though and that is quite nice." Police are still looking for the gunman. By Rozina Sini, BBC's UGC and Social News team The first picture, posted by his campaign staff, shows the President video-conferencing with supporters at the Iowa caucus. The service, which allows users to apply special effects to pictures, has over 50 million users worldwide. Social networking is expected to play a major role in efforts to build voter loyalty in the upcoming US Presidential Elections. Prior to being elected in 2008, President Obama used Twitter to rally support and raise money for his campaign. He quickly became one of the service's most followed users. Ahead of this year's election, all of the Republican candidates have established a presence on Twitter - with Newt Gingrich proving the most popular of the presidential hopefuls with over 1.3 million followers. President Obama's Twitter account is mostly maintained by his campaign team, although posts signed off with 'BO' are said to be posted by the President himself. As a notable Blackberry user, it is unclear whether the President will upload pictures that he has taken himself as the app is currently only available on the iPhone. Instagram, which Apple named "app of the year" in 2011, said it was delighted to have the President using its service. "We look forward to seeing how President Obama uses Instagram to give folks a visual sense of what happens in the everyday life of the President of the United States," it saidin a blog post.

The 29-year-old, who won a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics, was targeted as she was answering questions during a show about women in sport. "I think it's always difficult when it's attacking how you look because there is not a lot you can do about changing that," she tells Radio 1. "It is hard when you hear people saying you look like a horse." Sky Sports was forced to issue a statement last January condemning the "unacceptable and offensive abuse" she received while answering sports-related questions in a slot called The Everyday Sexism Project. One man tweeted, "Are all sportswomen lesbians?" while another said, "Do you think pregnancy is a poor injury excuse and women should be able to run it off?" Beth says she was shocked but wasn't really tempted to reply. "If you start to reply to them you're giving them the satisfaction that they know that you've read it - and it has hurt you. "Whereas if you ignore it, because it is at the end of a computer or a phone, they don't even know whether you've seen it. "If you start to retaliate it's only going to make it worse because then they'll retaliate back and it'll just end up as a Twitter war." Beth competed at three Olympic Games and won three gold medals at world championships and six golds at European championships. Since retiring in August 2013 she has made guest appearances on BBC show Tumble and was a judge on Junior MasterChef. She also finished third in the final series of ITV's Dancing on Ice. Beth, from Bunbury, Cheshire says she forgave most of the people who sent offensive messages because many said sorry. "Quite a lot of the people that sent the comments actually apologised to me. They would later send tweets saying, 'We didn't realise how hurtful they would be.' "A lot of the time you're sat behind a computer or behind a tablet phone or whatever it is that you use the social media on, and these people - they don't realise that actually it's a person at the end of that that's going to receive that Twitter message or that Facebook message. "Whether they were told to apologise, I don't know, but I accepted their apology and I moved on from it." Beth is speaking out as part of a week of shows on Radio 1 tackling cyberbullying. She says if you're being bullied online, or in person, you have to tell someone. "It is OK to speak about it and it's not always easy. "You know what it's like when you're in school and there was something said to you. You don't want to say something in case the backlash is worse than what it is. "But it's better than suffering in silence. "The one thing that gymnastics taught me was, 'Before you sent the tweet, would you like your nan to read it?' And that is one thing that I've always stuck to." You can hear more from Beth on Radio 1 Stories: Anti-Social Media on Tuesday night at 21:00 GMT. Radio 1 has linked up with YouthNet to host an hour of live advice on how to deal with online bullying between 10-11pm every night (Mon-Thurs) and there's help at BBC Advice.

Former gymnast Beth Tweddle says she's forgiven online bullies who attacked her during a Twitter Q&A last year.

The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) said the latest International Council for the Exploration of the Sea data showed cod stocks were only slightly above what are considered sustainable. MCS fisheries officer Bernadette Clarke said: "Our advice remains to seek alternatives to North Sea cod." However, the claim has angered Scottish fishing industry leaders. The MCS's spokeswoman explained: "The efforts of fishers and managers have placed cod in the North Sea on the road to recovery. "Programmes such as the Conservation Credits Scheme - which rewards fishermen for adopting conservation measures with additional days at sea - together with more effective long-term management plans will hopefully see the fishery continue to recover in the coming years." But she added: "There are more sustainable cod fisheries that we currently rate as Fish to Eat." Mike Park, from the Scottish White Fish Producers Association, told BBC Scotland it was time the efforts of fishermen were appreciated and recognised. Mr Park said: "The advice from the Marine Conservation Society is extremely disappointing." And Scotland's Fishing Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "All Scottish Cod is caught within internationally agreed limits with the aim of transitioning towards full Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) in the very near future, therefore the stock recovery is not being harmed and will not be harmed in any way if people eat Scottish caught North Sea cod." The People Versus Carmichael was launched on crowdfunding site Indiegogo by "residents of Orkney and Shetland who are disappointed in the behaviour of their MP and want our politics conducted honestly and without smears". Its stated goal is to "raise an election petition in the courts". It says: "This could begin a process which could have the recent result in Orkney and Shetland overturned." Mr Carmichael has been the Liberal Democrat MP for Orkney and Shetland since 2001. Before the general election he was Scottish secretary, a cabinet minister in the UK government. It was a position of power and influence that gave him access to confidential government documents. On 3 April, during the election campaign, the Daily Telegraph reported a leaked memo which gave an account of a private conversation between Nicola Sturgeon and the French Ambassador which suggested that the SNP leader wanted Tory leader David Cameron to remain prime minister. Ms Sturgeon denied the account and demanded an inquiry into the leak. The Cabinet Office inquiry concluded that Mr Carmichael and his special advisor Euan Roddin were responsible for the leak. When asked about the leak at the time, Carmichael said: "The first I heard of this was when I received a phone call from a journalist". In a letter of apology, Mr Carmichael said: "Had I still been a government minister I would have considered this to be a matter that required my resignation. I have therefore informed the Cabinet Secretary that I will decline my ministerial severance payment." For many this sanction is not enough and they feel he is not fit to be an MP. Those behind the crowdfunding petition says they want to hold Mr Carmichael "accountable for his behaviour before, during and after the election campaign". They are hoping to raise enough money for a legal challenge under the Representation of the People Act 1983. It states that electors or disappointed candidates can question the result of a parliamentary election if a candidate or their agents engage in "corrupt or illegal practices". The practices set out in the act include bribery (making illegal payments) and paying canvassers. Whether Mr Carmichael's actions are covered by "corrupt or illegal practices" is the matter a court would have to decide. Last month the election of the Mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman, was voided for a range of breaches of election law including voting fraud, false statements, bribery and spiritual influence, telling Bengali voters it was their "religious duty" to vote for him. However, the case of Labour's Phil Woolas in the 2010 general election is perhaps more relevant. He was removed from his Oldham East and Saddleworth seat for circulating lies about the personal character of his Liberal Democratic opponent during the general election campaign. He was the first MP to lose his seat in this way for almost a century. The specially convened election court ruled that comments in campaign material suggesting Lib Dem candidate Elwyn Watkins had tried to "woo" the votes of Muslim extremists clearly amounted to an attack on his personal character and conduct. Section 106 of the Representation of the People Act states that a person who "makes or publishes any false statement of fact in relation to the candidate's personal character or conduct shall be guilty of an illegal practice, unless he can show that he had reasonable grounds for believing, and did believe, that statement to be true". Alistair Carmichael, who won the Orkney and Shetland seat with a majority of just 817 votes, says he believed at the time that he authorised the leak that the comments made about Ms Sturgeon in the memo were a true account of her conversation. Christine O'Neill, chairman of Brodies LLP and expert in public law, told BBC Scotland: "One issue here of course is that the first minister (Nicola Sturgeon) was not a candidate in this election. "The false statement must have been made with the aim of influencing the outcome of the election - and in order to see the successful candidate unseated it is also necessary to show that there was an actual impact on the outcome of the election. "There are few election petitions and fewer which are successful. One of the most recent cases on false statements makes it clear that there is a distinction between saying something false about a candidate's personal conduct and character and making false statements about their political activities or conduct." In the months before the end of the last parliament the Recall of MPs Act 2015 was given Royal Assent. It allows for a recall petition to be triggered if a MP is sentenced to a prison term or is suspended from the House of Commons for at least 21 sitting days. If 10% of the eligible electors in the MP's constituency signed a petition, the seat would be declared vacant and a by-election would follow. Mr Carmichael has not been convicted of a criminal offence or suspended from the House of Commons so this new law would not apply. Russia said it was continuing to bomb "terrorists" in parts of Syria. Earlier, almost 100 rebel factions agreed to respect the truce, the main Syrian opposition group has said. The High Negotiations Committee (HNC) said Free Syrian Army factions and the armed opposition had signed up to the truce from midnight (22:00 GMT). The temporary "cessation of hostilities" involves government and rebel forces - but not the so-called Islamic State (IS) group and the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front. On Friday, Nusra Front urged its supporters to intensify attacks against President Bashar al-Assad and his allies. Meanwhile, UN envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura said that peace talks would resume on 7 March, if the fighting stops and aid is delivered as planned. Warring parties in Syria were meant to make their intentions known by midday Friday ahead of the pause in fighting. Announcing the intentions of rebel factions, the HNC said the Syrian government and its allies must not use the "proposed text to continue the hostile operations against the opposition factions under the excuse of fighting terrorism". The stage is set for the potential implementation of some kind of a ceasefire in Syria. The Syrian government, the Russians, the US and its allies, along with just under 100 rebel groups, all appear willing to come on board. But if it goes into effect at all, this "cessation of hostilities" - some prefer to call it a temporary truce - is going to be incomplete, partial, and fundamentally fragile. Read more from Jonathan Overnight, Russian air strikes which were "more intense than usual" hit rebel bastions including Eastern Ghouta east of Damascus, northern Homs province and western Aleppo province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said. "It's more intense than usual," Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman was quoted by news agency AFP as saying. "It's as if they [the Russians and the government] want to subdue rebels in these regions or score points before the ceasefire." The Observatory said the rebel-held Damascus suburb of Douma had also suffered heavy air strikes on Friday, killing eight people, four of them children. It said the Syrian government had also shelled the area, which is a stronghold of the Army of Islam rebel group. But Russian President Vladimir Putin said his forces were targeting IS, Nusra Front and other extremist groups designated as legitimate targets by the UN Security Council, adding that "the decisive fight against them" would "without doubt, be continued". Turkey said the Russian and government strikes in the run-up to the cessation gave "serious concerns". President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, said Turkey had "played an active role" in drafting the ceasefire but "the fact that Russian planes' bombardments and Assad's forces' attacks on the ground have been continuing... gives us serious concerns about the future of the ceasefire". The cessation has been brokered by the US and Russia but scepticism has lingered over the plan. BBC Arab affairs editor Sebastian Usher says all sides have made it clear they will fight if attacked. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier expressed "great concern" over fresh reports that pro-government forces had dropped barrel bombs on the Damascus suburb of Darayya. He urged all parties "to refrain from steps that could endanger the ceasefire so close to it coming into effect". Earlier, US President Barack Obama said the success of the cessation would depend on whether warring parties including the Syrian government, Russia and their allies lived up to their commitments. Attacks needed to end, he said, and humanitarian aid had to be allowed through to desperate civilians. "The coming days will be critical and the world will be watching," he added. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he hoped the US would also respect the truce. More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed in nearly five years of civil war. Millions more have been displaced. Fire crews were called to Maghaberry prison at about 16.30 BST after a fire started in a wing of Roe House, where integrated prisoners are housed. A Prison Service spokesperson said "it was necessary to move some prisoners outside and bring in the fire service". They said no-one was injured and the incident ended at 21:30 BST. Roe House also houses dissident republican prisoners, who are segregated from other inmates. It is understood that no dissident republicans were involved in the incident, and were not removed from their cells. Neither the Prison Service nor the Fire and Rescue Service would comment on the cause of the fire. Two policewomen and eight soldiers are said to have engaged in a sex party at a police station in the Brussels neighbourhood of Ganshoren. The city was in lockdown over fears of a Paris-style attack at the time. Soldiers slept at the police station for two weeks during the operation. "When they left, they organised a small party to thank the police in the area," police spokesman, Johan Berckmans, told Belgian newspaper La Derniere Heure (in French). "We have launched an investigation to find out what exactly happened." Speaking to De Standaard (in Dutch), the spokesman said 15 to 20 soldiers had been sleeping at the Ganshoren police station during two weeks in November so they did not have to travel so far at the end of their shift. The police station was near Molenbeek, where anti-terror raids had been taking place. Mr Berckmans said an internal investigation was launched after allegations of an orgy were reported by La Derniere Heure on Tuesday. The Belgian capital was on the highest level of alert last month after the Paris attacks that left 130 people dead. Schools, shops and the Metro stayed closed for days, and troops were deployed as anti-terror officers searched for suspects connected to the mass killings. It is expected to be a digital boost for a major mountain bike event, due to be held in the Glentress Forest. Organisers hope it will allow live streaming of the 80km Enduro event. If the technology proves successful in the thick forest, it could be used to deliver communications services to rural areas. About 600 mountain bikers are expected at the Tweedlove Bike Festival event at the weekend, as well as many spectators. Thanks to the ground-breaking trial, they are likely to be able to access the internet on smart phones and tablets from within the forest. Moira Forsyth, of the Innovation Directorate of Scottish Enterprise, which is one of the agencies behind the trial, said the technology could be a major opportunity for local businesses. She said: "TV white space technology has the potential to provide a major boost for Scottish tourism. "Like many rural tourism businesses the majority of mountain biking locations have no or very poor connectivity - whether mobile or internet access. "This lack of connectivity to stream live events also significant limits the international viewing opportunities when Scotland hosts global events such as the Enduro World Series, which bring significant income into rural locations." So-called "white space" is the unused frequencies allocated to broadcasting services. The frequencies vary by region but devices such as mobile phones and tablets could use the free spectrum. The trial at Glentress Forest will test the technology in a densely forested, mountainous rural environment. It has been led by Scottish Enterprise, the Mountain Bike Centre of Scotland, which is based at the forest near Peebles, and Microsoft. Danny Cowe, the mountain bike centre's business development manager said: "We're acutely aware that the visitor experience can be negatively impacted by poor connectivity - shutting down their ability to share their experience on social platforms. "Beyond this they cannot use smart phones or other mobile devices in order to view or look and book with local businesses - for example local restaurants. "We can see how this clever new technology could hugely improve both the spectator experience and improve their time at centres such as Glentress." Jim Beveridge, senior director of international technology policy at Microsoft, said: "We've successfully trialled it in everything from lifeboats to businesses and now in sport. It brings people together in a way that just wasn't possible five years ago and it just might bring some of the superstars here this weekend direct to your mobile." The white space technology could help local business Dirt School expand and enhance its mountain bike coaching service. Head coach Andy Barlow said: "As we are launching a mountain bike coaching app and offering virtual training programmes, it is vital that we are then able to connect with our students to provide feedback instantly. "TV White Space technology could enable us to do that at Glentress." The index rose 23.82 points to 7,543.77. Bus and rail operator First Group saw its share price tumble 5% on Thursday after giving a cautious trading outlook. It was the biggest loser on the FTSE 250, despite reporting a 23% rise in pre-tax profits to £207m for the year to the end of March. The FTSE 250 closed up 38.45 points at 20,010.62. Amongst FTSE 100 companies, Bookmaker Paddy Power led the risers, up 4.34% at £84.20. Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey was the biggest faller, down 6.45% at 190p. At the start of the day, Barclays had topped the FTSE 100's list of gainers after announcing that it had sold off a bigger stake than expected in its African unit. However, by lunchtime it had fallen back and closed just 0.5% higher on the day. The share sale brought in £2.2bn for Barclays and reduces its stake in Barclays Africa to about 15% as the bank refocuses on the UK and US markets. On the currency markets, the pound was 0.04% lower against the dollar at $1.28850 but up 0.25% against the euro at 1.1498 euros. John Henshall, 69, from Stanford-in-the-Vale, Oxfordshire, retained a copy of Bowie performing Jean Genie in 1973. He said: "I just couldn't believe that I was the only one with it. I just thought you wouldn't be mad enough to wipe a tape like that." It was unveiled on Sunday at an event held by the British Film Institute. The annual event, Missing Believed Wiped, was the first time the footage had been seen since January 1973. Mr Henshall said he only kept it because he wanted it for his showreel. In the footage he used Telefex Fisheye lenses which he had designed himself. He also ended up in the background of one of the shots. After the recording he asked producers for a personal copy on 2in (5cm) broadcast videotape. Mr Henshall said: "I didn't realise that it had been wiped by the BBC. "They'd been looking for it for years, hoping that somebody had maybe pointed an 8mm home movie camera at the screen, because there was no VHS in those days. "I didn't realise that anybody wanted it. I'd just had it because it was my Fisheye. "I had loads of ideas for optical effects back then." Bowie's performance of Jean Genie was recorded on 3 January 1973 and transmitted the following day for the first and only time. After realising he had a "rarer than rare" piece of television history, Mr Henshall went to Westpoint Television in London to view the footage. "The hairs stood up on the back of my neck," he said. "There it was in full broadcast quality. Amazing." After his time with Top of the Pops, Mr Henshall went on to film professional music videos for Blondie, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Kate Bush, Spandau Ballet, Roxy Music and Queen. Among other items recovered and shown at Sunday's event were two missing episodes of Doctor Who, a television play by Dennis Potter called Emergency Ward 9 and a comedy sketch featuring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. The first transmission of Jean Genie since 1973 will be in a BBC4 documentary, Tales of Television Centre, to be broadcast in the new year. The Russian won 6-4 4-6 6-3 in front of a sell-out night session crowd of almost 24,000 people in New York. Sharapova, 30, was playing her first Grand Slam match since serving a 15-month doping suspension. The 2006 champion needed a wildcard to enter the main draw as she is currently ranked 146th. When her name was drawn alongside Halep's in the first round it set up a contest that felt more like a Grand Slam decider than opener. Over the course of two hours and 44 minutes, Sharapova's greater pace off the racquet outstripped Halep's speed of foot, with 60 winners proving decisive despite 64 errors. "You never know what you're going to feel until you win that match point, but everything you go through is worth it for this moment," said Sharapova, who now has a 7-0 record against Halep. "You sometimes wonder why you put in all the work, and this is exactly why." Sharapova goes on to face Hungary's Timea Babos, the world number 59, in round two on Wednesday. Sharapova returned from her ban in April but has struggled with thigh and forearm injuries, playing just once since May, and was also refused a wildcard by the French Open. The United States Tennis Association took a different view, handing the Russian a place in the main draw in New York, and she took full advantage. John McEnroe had been among those wondering whether the Flushing Meadows crowd would react badly to the 2006 champion, but she was given a warm reception as she stepped on court. It was Sharapova's first appearance at a Grand Slam since she lost to Serena Williams in the 2016 Australian Open quarter-final - and she relished returning to the big stage. "It's prime-time baby - I love it," she joked afterwards. "I embrace every moment of it and I love it." Halep has three times been on the brink of the number one ranking this year, and was match-tight after playing 12 times on North American hard courts over the last month, but in the end she was overpowered by Sharapova. The five-time Grand Slam champion edged ahead in a gripping first four games that lasted 27 minutes, and a blizzard of winners brought her the first set. The same fierce hitting seemed like carrying Sharapova all the way at 4-1 up in the second, but Halep recovered with five straight games to level. With the error-count growing, it appeared that Sharapova was running out of gas, but after a six-minute bathroom break she returned rejuvenated for the decider. Once again she raced ahead, building another 4-1 lead, and this time she would not be pegged back. Halep had saved a remarkable 17 of 22 break points but could only find the net when given a chance to get back on terms, and Sharapova edged home in a dramatic closing game, dropping to her knees in celebration. "This girl has a lot of grit and she is not going anywhere," added Sharapova. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. While most modern football institutions have doormen, security guards and fences to curtail curious fans, the doors at Gladbach's stadium are always open and fans can often be found in the bar/restaurant adjacent to the club's front desk. If the fans can't catch their favourite player walking off the training pitches a stone throw's away from the stadium then they'd be just as lucky to find him enjoying some lunch in the bar. There, fans and players mingle freely. Despite being one of Germany's most popular clubs, Gladbach, like most German teams, go to great lengths to ensure their fans don't feel isolated from the team. Indeed, another feature of the open-door policy is the club's trophy collection on show for all to see in the lobby. Placed in glass podiums stand a Bundesliga, German Cup and Uefa Cup trophy to represent the nine domestic and continental trophies Gladbach wrestled from the grasp of the famous, all-conquering Bayern Munich sides of the seventies. Nicknamed "The Foals" due to the young, vibrant nature of their teams throughout the era, this Bundesliga side are steeped in history and have a loyal, worldwide following that love them for it. "The size of the club was also why I came here," Fabian Johnson, Gladbach's United States international tells the BBC. "My last two clubs - Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim - were kind of new in the world of the Bundesliga and the supporters were great but didn't have the tradition and background." When asked about the constant reminder of former glory days, Johnson adds: "It's just a great honour for every player that plays here. I think every player is proud to play for a big club like this." Like Celtic, Gladbach's history and vibrant supporters demand success even if the club's stature in European football isn't what it once was. As such, the opportunity to play in the Champions League against the very best is a timely reminder of what once was. Not unlike their coming Glasgow rivals, Celtic, Gladbach not only adore the limelight but feel they are absolutely deserving of it. "We're playing in the Champions League and we wanted to play the best teams in the world and now we have it," says Johnson with a notable smile. "Of course, it's exciting, but it's also a hard challenge." Following an unfortunate 0-0 draw with Hamburg on Saturday, Gladbach sit eighth in a notably turbulent Bundesliga table. On the same weekend, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich dropped points, while suggested relegation contenders Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt sit just above them in sixth and seventh respectively. Yet an even tougher prospect has been Group C of the Champions League, in which Gladbach have travelled to Manchester City and welcomed Barcelona to Borussia Park without picking up a point, shipping six goals in the process. "I think we have the toughest group in the Champions League and then had the two toughest games right away," admits Johnson as he ponders over his team's current standing. "It's very important that we pick up points in Glasgow. "It's going to be tough to get out of this group in first or second place, so I hope that we're going to finish third. But it's going to be hard to play in Glasgow, win in Glasgow and then win at home in Gladbach against Celtic." Although Johnson plays for the United States through his parents, he was born and raised in Munich and it's that famous German pragmatism that shines through as he looks ahead to the double header against the Scottish champions. "We try to win every game, obviously, but we have to try to be realistic and that means winning in Glasgow," he adds. "If we get our first three points, or perhaps one, then we have to see how it looks, but of course we want to at least get to the Europa League." Standing in the way of such a goal is one notable factor: Gladbach's away form. Although Celtic fans may bemoan their own away record at times, the Foals under Andre Schubert blow very hot or cold depending on where they happen to be playing. While the team may have lost only one of their 18 home games in the Bundesliga under the relatively new coach, they've also only won four of their 17 matches on the road in that period. When asked if he could explain such a contrasting run of form, Johnson is refreshingly blunt and honest: "To be honest, no." He adds: "When we play at home, the supporters are always behind us. "We have an unbelievable crowd. Everybody knows that, if they come to Borussia Park, it's going to be a hard, tough game. It's not like we're trying to play different when we play away. I can't explain it, to be honest." Indeed, he doesn't seem to be the only one. Schubert still plays the same tactics and often the same players at home and away each week even if his system only seems to work when the players have the full support of more than 50,000 supporters behind them. Yet that doesn't seem to bother Johnson. Rather than fear a trip to Celtic Park, where so many big clubs have stumbled in the past, he claims his team-mates can't wait. "We know that the crowd there is crazy," he says with an eager smile. "We talked about it and, of course, everybody knows from different players who've played there before that it's going to be a great atmosphere and a great crowd. "If you want to play in the Champions League, you have to face the biggest teams and that's what we've got. They're going to be nice games but tough ones." Johnson, like his club, are intent on making the most of their time in the Champions League: a competition that they truly believe they belong in, like their opponents on Wednesday night, when two clubs not dissimilar in their history and standing in European football meet. It was unclear whether the missiles caused any damage, they said. On Wednesday, Russia said it had launched 26 cruise missiles at targets in north and north-west Syria. It has reiterated comments made at the time that all reached their targets. The news came as Nato renewed assurances to defend its allies in view of Russia's "escalation" in Syria. Nato is boosting its response forces to be able to deploy troops speedily. The US officials provided no details of where the missiles might have landed. However, Iran's Irna news agency reported on Wednesday that an unknown flying object had crashed in the village of Ghozghapan in the Iranian province of West Azerbaijan, said to be under the missiles' flight path. Moscow denies Western accusations that it has mainly targeted opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, insisting its strikes have hit the infrastructure of the so-called Islamic State (IS) and other militant groups. IS militants have seized swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. The Russian air strikes had "weakened" IS, Syrian Army Chief of Staff Gen Ali Abdullah Ayoub said on Thursday, enabling the army to start a "big attack" to retake towns and villages. Heavy fighting was reported in areas of Idlib, Hama and Latakia provinces, where a coalition of rebels - including the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front - operates. Government-backed troops had moved into the key Ghab plain area, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said. They included abortion, gay rights and allowing gay men to give blood. He has quit his job in the wake of his outspoken remarks linking those in gay relationships with child abuse. It was a post that Mr Wells had coveted for many years. His appointment to the job had come somewhat later than originally planned, as it is understood that the DUP was concerned about how Mr Wells, who was extremely outspoken on all of these issues, would deal with them as health minister. In his first interview as the minister, I asked whether or not he would abandon his religious principles when making policy on issues like abortion and alcohol. He asked for the interview to be stopped. But after a brief stand-off and encouragement from his DUP aide and the health department's press officer, he agreed to continue and said he would not abandon his religious beliefs. He spent his first day in the post blocking his critics on Twitter. A short time in the post, Mr Wells managed to strike off a number of significant issues on his to-do list. Perhaps his biggest achievement was ensuring an all-Ireland children's heart service will be up and running next month in Dublin. Someone who made no secret of his views on smoking and drinking alcohol, he perhaps would say on a personal basis that his biggest achievement was introducing plain cigarette packaging and proposals for minimum pricing for alcohol. Last month he announced that the meningitis B vaccine will be introduced in a child's routine vaccine programme, and that all hospitals will become smoke-free zones. While not finalised, Mr Wells began the big conversation of reintroducing prescription charges in order to fund specialist drugs, especially for cancer. A man who wore his heart on his sleeve, Mr Wells was always clear about his pro-life, anti-abortion views and also his feelings on gay rights. Those issues remain unresolved in the in-tray and for his successor. The All Party Parliamentary Group on women and work calls for companies with more than 250 staff to put better programmes in place for returners. It says existing "returnship" schemes rarely help women on lower incomes. The MPs were examining reasons why women find difficulties in returning to work after a career break. They cited the cost of childcare and the lack of a clear way back as key obstacles to returning to work. Their report called for employers to take more note of the caring responsibilities of employees and to give the "sandwich generation" more help. "Spending time at home with children or looking after elderly parents does not make women or men less capable and it should not be a deterrent when wanting to go back to work at the appropriate time", said the committee's co-chair, Flick Drummond. In recent years, a number of companies have started introducing schemes to support senior women returning to work after a break. Returnship programmes may include a three to six month paid internship, mentoring and coaching to improve confidence. Dominie Moss, who recently founded the Return Hub, which submitted evidence to the parliamentary report, believes the benefits to employers of such schemes are clear: "It's an opportunity to repopulate the talent pipeline at mid- and senior levels. And what you get is highly engaged and highly motivated people." Ms Moss does have some enquiries from men, but the vast majority are from women, she says, as they are more likely to have taken time out of work to look after their family or to move abroad with a partner. Despite these programmes being in their infancy, she says there is "significant demand" from employers for this "lost talent pool" of professional women who are looking for new positions. The report from the parliamentary group on women and work recommended that all employers with a workforce of more than 250 people, across diverse sectors, should develop return to work policies for those coming back after an extended career break. It also called on employers and the government to extend the geographical scope of returnship schemes, as most of them are currently based in London. Documents show the nuclear regulator raised concerns over fractures in keyways that lock together the core of Hunterston B power station in Ayrshire. They also show the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) raised concerns that Hinkley B might have similar problems. The regulator has agreed the stations can continue to operate after the reactor shutdown process was modified. EDF Energy's Brian Cowell said the level of cracking is considered "reasonable" and is "far below anything which would affect the reactor's safe operation". Hunterston B and Hinkley Point B, in Somerset, were the first of Britain's Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors [AGR], built in the 1970s. In the documents obtained through a Freedom of Information request, the ONR raised concerns over cracks in reactor three of Hunterston B and spoke of the possibility of them being present at Hinkley B. John Large, who helped design AGRs, believes that if the cracks get any worse it could jeopardise the reactor's stability in the event of a big disaster - such as an earthquake - and make it impossible to lower control rods to shut the reactor down. "These keyways are beginning to fracture... that means the locking together - the way that force can be transferred from one brick to another - is lost, so it becomes a very loose stack of bricks." Allan Jeffery, from campaign group Stop Hinkley, is concerned that when you run reactors past the design life parts will wear out or fail. He is concerned the graphite core, which can not be repaired, has become less dense because of the effects of radiation. "This... could end up distorting the channels the fuel and the boron control rods use. "In cases of emergency there are sudden changes in temperature and pressure which could all end up starting to deform these channels. "If you can't get the control rod down then you can't control the temperature inside the reactor and you're heading for accidents - possibly even meltdowns." However, the ONR has now agreed the stations can continue operating safely after modifying the reactor shutdown process to introduce super-articulated control rods that can more easily bend down any distorted channels. Mr Cowell said: "The graphite in our reactors is behaving exactly as experts predicted it would, underlining our confidence to operate the stations safely to 2023 and beyond. He added it was accepted that cracks will occur in some of the bricks "as part of the normal ageing process". "Observations from our comprehensive inspection programme were anticipated and are in line with our understanding, so our view of the best estimate lifetime planning date of 2023 for Hinkley Point B and Hunterston B has not changed."

Monmouth Comprehensive is phasing in the uniform from September and told parents they must purchase it from a preferred supplier. Some parents are angry at having to buy £20 trousers and £16 skirts from Trutex, rather than from cheaper shops. The school's stance is contrary to Welsh Government uniform advice. Monmouthshire council said the school consulted with the "whole school community over a lengthy period" as per government guidelines. Deputy head Andy Williams sent a letter to parents which said "sending students home (in line with Welsh Government guidance) is, of course, our last resort". The community Facebook page has received hundreds of comment from concerned parents. Paula Beddis Simpson wrote: "I am a single parent doing 2/3 jobs to make ends meet, it's totally unfair. As long as they are proper grey school trousers and pupils look smart, what is the problem?" Alex Watkins added: "It's not as if people are refusing to adhere to the uniform, just would like to choose where to buy trousers skirts and shirts. It's hardly unreasonable."' Year seven and sixth form pupils will be expected to wear a branded blazer and tie instead of the existing polo shirt and jumper, which the school says had become "tired, inconsistent and not fit for purpose". Pupils in other years can change to the new uniform from September if they choose to or if their old uniform is in need of replacement Parents claim the new uniform will cost more than £100 if they are forced to buy from the supplier. The school said it would cost £97 for boys and £93 for girls. The Welsh Government says governing bodies should consider stipulating "basic items and colours but not styles so that items can be bought from retail chains at reasonable prices and not just from one supplier". The school, which will move to a new £33m building in 2018, has acknowledged "there has been some concern over the cost of trousers and skirts from our suppliers". My Williams wrote: "We trialled the use of barcodes for parents to buy cheaper (but often less ethically sourced) items from high street retailers. "But quickly found that codes and styles changed, allowing many students to create a very different style of uniform including tight, skinny jean type trousers and inappropriate skirts. "The school simply cannot keep pace with brand and style changes that will add to inconsistency in a school with over 1500 students." Council officer Will McLean said: "The design of school uniforms and the rules which apply to them are determined by school governing bodies." Pupils eligible for free school meals will receive free uniform items in their first year. Annie Besala Ekofo, 53, and Bervil Kalikaka-Ekofo, 21, were found dead at an address in Elmshurst Crescent, East Finchley, on Thursday. Obina Ezeoke, 24, of no fixed address, has been charged with two counts of murder. He is due to appear at Hendon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. A 20-year-old man remains on bail. Sergeant Alexander Blackman was convicted of murdering the injured captive in Afghanistan but his supporters say it was manslaughter. Author and campaigner Frederick Forsyth said the court martial that convicted Blackman "stank from top to bottom". Joshua Rozenberg, who presents Radio 4's Law in Action, said it would be "an uphill struggle" to reopen the case. A new legal team - led by Jonathan Goldberg QC - is seeking a review, arguing that he should have been convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter. Blackman, of Taunton, Somerset, was convicted in 2013 and lost an appeal in May last year, but his 10-year minimum term was reduced to eight years. Blackman's wife Claire told the Daily Mail: "The fact that he is now serving a life sentence for killing a dying Taliban insurgent is just wrong, this was war. "Had the roles been reversed that man would have tortured my husband before killing him. "We will not give up the fight to bring Al home." Mr Forsyth, who is leading the campaign, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the evidence that Blackman was "nearly feral with exhaustion" was not produced at court. "There is a very, very clear case that you can get a fighting man so tired, so consumed by battle fatigue and combat stress that he is hardly even thinking straight and there is provision in British law for that," he said. He claimed that at the end of Blackman's trial, all seven members of the jury "put their caps on and saluted him." "Honourable men do not salute a perjurer and a murderer", he said. Mr Forsyth said the verdict had been a five to two majority, but Mr Rozenberg said the argument that it was unfair to have a majority verdict was dismissed so "it would be hard to overturn that". Campaigners hope the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which investigates suspected miscarriages of justice, will look at Blackman's case. Commission spokeswoman Sally Berlin said the organisation has yet to receive an application from the campaigners or legal team, but if one is submitted it will consider the case. Mr Goldberg said there are three routes to a manslaughter verdict including loss of control, unlawful act manslaughter and diminished responsibility and he said all could be argued. Mr Goldberg said Blackman suffered from battlefield stress syndrome and this was not presented to "any of the previous courts" as grounds for reducing murder to manslaughter "as we think it should have been". He said if Blackman had been convicted of manslaughter he may not have been jailed. The killing, on 15 September 2011, took place after a patrol base in Helmand province came under fire from two insurgents. One of the attackers was seriously injured by gunfire from an Apache helicopter sent to provide air support and the marines found him in a field. Footage from another marine's helmet-mounted camera showed Blackman shooting the Afghan prisoner in the chest with a 9mm pistol. Blackman told him: "There you are. Shuffle off this mortal coil." The court martial board in Bulford, Wiltshire, found Blackman guilty of murdering the insurgent. Two other marines were acquitted. It was the first time a member of the British armed forces had faced a murder charge in relation to the conflict in Afghanistan, which began in 2001. Blackman was also "dismissed with disgrace" from the Royal Marines. He had served with distinction for 15 years, including tours of Iraq, Afghanistan and Northern Ireland. Blackman had denied murder, claiming he believed the victim was already dead and that he was taking his anger out on the corpse. A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: "We respect the authority and decision of the court." The Mail claims crucial evidence was deliberately withheld from the original court martial and says it will reveal "extraordinary and compelling new evidence" in the "coming days". The paper reports that it has seen confidential papers which claim panel members who convicted Blackman were "deliberately kept in the dark". The paper claims the court martial was never given evidence of alleged operational failings by Blackman's commanders, which meant his troop was "isolated, under-manned, under-resourced and under daily Taliban assault". All of this was "directly affecting his state of mind at the time of the shooting", which led to Blackman not receiving a fair trial, it is claimed. Blackman, 41, told the Mail: "I made a split-second mistake, but I had been sent to a brutal battlefield to fight a war for my country. "At the end of my trial, the establishment lined up to portray me as evil, because it suited them… to show the world how politically correct we are. "I have been made a scapegoat." Blackman's case is due to be discussed in the House of Commons on 16 September. The world number one was beaten 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 5-7 7-6 (7-3) 6-1 in four hours and 34 minutes. It was a repeat of last year's semi-final, which the Briton won before going on to lose the final to Novak Djokovic. Former champion Wawrinka will play Rafael Nadal in Sunday's final after the Spaniard beat Dominic Thiem. Nadal, who beat the Austrian 6-3 6-4 6-0, will become the first player in the open era to win 10 titles at one Grand Slam if he beats Wawrinka. The 31-year-old Nadal is yet to drop a set in this year's tournament as he looks to secure his first Grand Slam since winning in Paris in 2014. Media playback is not supported on this device Wawrinka will get the chance to add a second Roland Garros title to his 2015 victory, and move ahead of Murray with four Grand Slam titles, after his shot-making won the day. The Swiss hit 87 winners - 45 on the forehand side - as he finally overcame the determination and defensive skills of Murray. Short on matches after a season interrupted by illness and injury, Murray got within four points of victory but ultimately ran out of gas as Wawrinka made him cover a punishing 4.5km over more than four hours. Physically I didn't feel my best at the end "It was not like I was far away from winning the match," said Murray. "I was close to finishing it in the fourth set. There are a few things that I for sure feel I could do better, I would have liked to have done a bit differently." Wawrinka had chances to win both the first and third sets as well, only for Murray to clinch a gripping opening tie-break after two superb lobs in the same rally. The Swiss went on a run of seven games in a row to take the second and move 3-0 up in the third, as he pulled the Scot from side to side before firing winners into the spaces down each line. It took a magnificent response from Murray, twice a break down, to edge the third set as he harried and chased into the far reaches of Philippe Chatrier Court. When Wawrinka dumped a volley into the net to fall two sets to one behind, having lost three points when Murray sent smashes flying back to him, the Swiss looked understandably bewildered. The fourth set came down to another tie-break as neither man could fashion a break point, and a misjudged drop shot from Murray proved crucial as Wawrinka took the last three points in a row. The prospect of a fifth-set decider had the Chatrier crowd on their feet but Wawrinka made sure it was no contest, opening up with another forehand winner down the line as he raced 5-0 clear. Murray managed one final rearguard with a break of serve, before Wawrinka ripped his 21st backhand winner of the afternoon down the line to secure victory. "Physically I didn't feel my best at the end," said Murray. "It is more like I didn't have enough weight on my shot at the end to put him under any real pressure. "A lot of the points he was dictating from the middle of the court, and I was retrieving and allowing him to pretty much hit the shots that he wants. "And against a shot-maker, someone who hits the ball as big as him, that's obviously not ideal." BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller at Roland Garros Resilience and bloody-mindedness allowed Murray to win a third set of rapidly changing emotions, and it was the world number one who made most of the running in the early stages of the fourth. Murray's defence was remarkable for most of the match, but at this crucial stage it was Wawrinka who deserved enormous credit for riding out the storm, winning a tie-break and then playing an exceptional fifth set. While the Swiss was still able to hit the ball with enormous power in the decider, the zip had gone out of Murray's strokes and legs, as a lack of matches in the months leading up to Roland Garros took effect. It hurts when you are just a tie-break from the final, but this has been a very profitable French Open for Murray. Five wins and 18 hours on the match court should prove excellent preparation for Wimbledon. Austria's Thiem, 23, is the only player to beat Nadal on clay this year and showed his serious promise by beating defending champion Novak Djokovic in the quarter-final. But, when faced with nine-time champion Nadal - who has only lost twice at Roland Garros - the challenge proved too much. Thiem broke his opponent's serve in the first game of the match before Nadal repeated the trick in the following game. The Austrian let four more break-point opportunities slip in a tight opening set but from that point Nadal dominated and he went on to complete victory in two hours and seven minutes. "I was starting a little bit more nervous today than normal, but then I played well, I think," said Nadal. "It's true that Dominic played with more mistakes than usual." Asked about the prospect of a 10th title, he said: "I think I don't make more history, it's enough. Nine are more than good. "Another thing is today is not the moment to think about that. It's the moment I have to be very happy." Chesneau accepted the £10,000 top prize from Shepherd at an event in London on Monday night. The artist's winning work illustrates his trademark style of using recycled metals for his pieces. "Who couldn't love it? It stopped me in my tracks and I keep going back to see more," said head judge Mark Carwardine. The runner-up was Singapore-based Choon Chew's Aiming, for which the artist won £1,000. The drawing was also the winner of the wildlife in action category. The annual Wildlife Artist of the Year competition has become a major event in the art world calendar, attracting participants from around the world. Overall, there are eight competition categories besides the top award. Category winners each receive £500. This year, 150 works were shortlisted from more than 1,000 entrants and they will be exhibited at London's Mall Galleries from 2-7 June. "The extraordinary talent and creativity of all the artists involved never ceases to amaze me," said Shepherd - who set up the competition in 2007 to raise funds and awareness for endangered animals. "And what is so utterly brilliant is that all these talented artists share my passion - to give something back to the animals that inspire our work." Since it began, Wildlife Artist of the Year has raised more than £100,000 for conservation projects supported by the charity. The week of wildlife art at the Mall Galleries, London runs from 2-7 June 2014. Media playback is not supported on this device With Michael Phelps it can all seem so simple, so pre-ordained. A swimmer defined by victory, a man who has always come through. Except there has been nothing straightforward about the 'Fifth Act of Michael Phelps'. His 200m butterfly triumph in Rio's Aquatic Centre deep into Tuesday night may even have been miraculous. For this is a hero who had lost all sense of himself, an obsessive who had long ago begun to hate the gift that defined him. The first three acts offered little to indicate the fall that would follow. The 2000 Olympics, as The Kid - 15 years old yet finishing fifth in the 200m butterfly final, the boy with ADHD who had found his perfect focus, a world record holder before his 16th birthday. Act Two, as The Freak - a 10,000-calories-a-day diet, a wingspan of 2.08 metres, hypermobile ankles, lungs twice the size of the average adult male. At those Athens Olympics he would lose the 'Race of the Century' to Australian rival Ian Thorpe but win six other golds, a body designed for water, a boy in love with the pool. The 2008 Olympics, and Act Three as The Superstar: eight gold medals, no records left standing, the world at his size 14 feet. And then, around the supposed happy ending of London 2012, Act Four: The Cynic. It had begun in 2009, when a photograph emerged of America's clean-cut hero apparently smoking cannabis. It continued through a three-month suspension, through missed training sessions, through a loss of the focus that had once seen him so fanatical he would count each stroke in every final, just in case his goggles ever filled with water and left him unable to judge the distance to the wall. "I didn't care," he said later. "I wanted nothing to do with the water. Nothing." Phelps still won six medals in London, four of them gold. But he was beaten in the 200m butterfly by Chad le Clos, the childhood fan turned adult assassin, and trailed home fourth in the 400m individual medley. Retirement should have brought relief. It brought late nights and new friends, and another fresh start with long-term partner Nicole, but it brought no peace, and nothing to replace the one thing that had dominated every day of his life since the age of seven. And so, like Thorpe before him, he began a comeback. And like Thorpe before him, he found the old magic hard to reignite. At the US Championships in the summer of 2014 he failed to win a single final. Then, driving home from a night out that September, he was stopped by police for doing 84mph in a 45mph area. A drink-driving conviction followed, accompanied by a six-month suspension from US swimming. Rio? Rio couldn't have seemed further away. "He had no idea what to do with the rest of his life," his long-time coach Bill Bowman told the New York Times. "One day I said: 'Michael, you have all the money that anybody your age could ever want or need; you have a profound influence in the world; you have free time - and you're the most miserable person I know.'" And so began the Fifth Act. It started with six weeks in rehab at a treatment centre in Arizona called the Meadows. Phelps, one of the most famous sportsmen in the country, accustomed to the privileges and protection that come to that elite, was just another patient - going through the same group therapy, staying in the same spartan rooms, forced to confront a past that had become a burden rather than blessing. Like Thorpe, Australia's most decorated Olympian, who had won three golds at his home Sydney Games and two more in Athens, Phelps had discovered that medals did not bring happiness. Neither did swimming, the one thing he could do, the thing he did better than any other man in Olympic history. It was something that appeared to afflict so many of those who, in the words of Australia's 1996 Olympic 1500m freestyle champion, Kieren Perkins, "spend six hours a day with heads in a bucket of water, looking at a black line." Thorpe eventually admitted his own life-long struggles with depression, to his problems with alcohol and his adult thoughts of self-harm. Then there was his compatriot Grant Hackett, fifth in that Race of the Century, the third of them to end up in rehab, the third to lose himself in a stalled comeback. At the Meadows there was a small pool. Because water had always been Phelps' sanctuary, he was instinctively drawn to it. But wasn't swimming the problem? Didn't that gaping hole in his life need filling with something else? "The problem for me was I just didn't have enough balance in my life," said Leisel Jones, who won nine Olympic medals for Australia before herself succumbing to depression in young retirement. "I didn't have anything else, and that was terrifying for me." Phelps began to look. He made fresh contact with his estranged father Fred, with whom he had not spoken since 2004. He committed to Nicole, and to a long-term future together. He read self-help books, and then, with the help of Bowman, took the biggest decision of all: to commit to swimming again, at an age when Thorpe was long gone, to chase another Olympic gold even when there was no chance his tally could ever be threatened. In doing so he fell back in love. Swimming, first a gift, then a burden, began to inspire him again. With that inspiration came some of the old speed. With fresh focus came the old speed. A body that had held 13% fat in London dropped that to just 5% for the shot at Rio. Training harder than he had since Beijing eight years ago, he made the Olympic team. People began to talk, and then believe: could the man who had gone where no other Olympic athlete ever gone, go further still? Bowman remained a constant. With fiancee Nicole came a son, Boomer. But this is not the old Phelps, who would push anything and anyone away who could possibly distract him from gold. Here in Rio he is happy to be distracted. Nicole and Boomer have been in the stands here for every race he has swum. Swimming is still there, but in Act Five, there are more precious things at the centre of his world. "I never thought that he would ever change." says Bowman. "He hid everything that makes him human for 12 years." Phelps is still as competitive as ever. You could see it in his reaction when he took revenge on Le Clos for that shock defeat four years ago: sitting astride his lane marker, arms outstretched, hands beckoning as if daring anyone else to come and have a go. Find out how to get into swimming with our special guide. Yet as he walked round the pool decking after that first gold on Tuesday night, 4x200m freestyle relay gold still another hour away, there was something else, too. It wasn't just the clenched fist he waved at the stands, or the way he made his way through the photographers to where Nicole and his mother Debbie were standing to take three-month-old Boomer in his arms. It was the huge smile, the unguarded emotion of a man who is genuinely happy, the sight of a man finally at peace. In the Fifth Act of Michael Phelps, he is The Reborn. They were picked up by an Indian navy ship from Aden late on Tuesday and are travelling to Djibouti from where air force planes will fly them home. The group includes more than 100 women and 25 children, reports say. A Saudi Arabian-led coalition has been targeting rebels in Yemen in support of President Abdabbuh Mansour Hadi. Indian foreign ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin tweeted that the navy ship carrying the evacuees would reach Djibouti on Wednesday afternoon and "arrangements [are] in place to receive them there". Reports say two more navy ships are expected to reach Yemen by Thursday to rescue other Indians, who are mainly stranded in Aden and Sanaa. There are some 4,000 Indian workers, businessmen and nurses working in Yemen, a report says. Yemen has suffered from political instability for years and Shia Houthi rebels control nine of the 21 provinces. The Houthis have said their aim is to replace President Hadi's government, which they accuse of being corrupt. MyFerryLink workers walked out for the second time in a week over the sale of its ferries to rival DFDS Seaways. All services between the Port of Dover and Calais are affected, although DFDS is still sailing to Dunkirk as normal. A strike on 23 June led to the the suspension of Channel Tunnel services and saw hundreds of migrants try to board UK-bound lorries amid the chaos. Highways England said Operation Stack - where lorries use part of the M20 to queue for Channel crossings - has been implemented as a result of the latest action. Kent Police said they were monitoring the latest situation. Passengers have been advised to contact ferry operators before travelling. A Eurotunnel spokesman said: "At the moment the strike is affecting the port and ferry services only and all our services are running well. "We are braced with contingency plans should that change." Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin has chaired a meeting of the government's emergency committee Cobra. He said: "We're looking at the situation and working with the French government." Last week's disruption lasted 36 hours and saw blockades at the French port and the Channel Tunnel in Coquelles. Several Eurostar trains were forced to return to St Pancras. Parts of the M20 in Kent were also closed with lorries waiting to cross the Channel queuing on the carriageway. In France, the migrants sought to exploit the port strike by attempting to climb on board lorries caught in slow-moving traffic in an attempt to enter the UK. Prime Minister David Cameron said in the Commons that the scenes were "totally unacceptable" and the strike had played a "key role" in the events. He said more needed to be done to tackle the issue of migrants trying to cross the Channel and it was important to work with France. MyFerryLink is due to cease operations after 2 July following the sale of its ferries. From Alf Common, the first £1,000 player, to Johan Cruyff's £922,000 deal to sign for Barcelona, to Bale's £85.3m move to Spain, huge figures have been spent by clubs looking to land the world's best players. BBC Sport looks at the biggest moves, how Bale compares to current world stars and some memorable quotes on the mega deals. Common's move from Sunderland to Middlesbrough in February 1905 was the first time a player had ever been transferred for a £1,000 fee. The forward went on to help Middlesbrough stave off relegation to Division Two that season. Liverpool's Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez has been a big talking point of this summer's transfer window but it was his Spanish namesake who was making headlines in 1961. The midfielder moved from Barcelona to Inter Milan for a fee of £152,000 and helped the Italian side to three league titles and two European Cups. Barcelona were involved in a record-breaking fee again in 1973, but this time they were the ones doing the spending. The Spanish giants spent £922,000 to bring in Cruyff from Ajax and the Dutch forward spent five years at the Nou Camp - winning one La Liga title and the Copa del Rey. Two years after Cruyff's move to Barcelona, the record was broken again as football saw its first £1m player when Italian Giuseppe Savoldi moved from Bologna to Napoli for £1.2m. Only one player has broken the transfer record twice and that honour belongs to Maradona, who in 1982 moved from Boca Juniors to Barcelona for £3m. The Argentina legend's time at the Nou Camp was short-lived, however, as two years later Napoli paid £5m to bring him to Italy. An Italian team was behind another record in 1992 when Jean-Pierre Papin moved from Marseille to AC Milan. The France striker helped the Serie A side to two league titles before leaving for Bayern Munich in 1994. Alan Shearer's move from Blackburn Rovers to Newcastle United in 1996 caused a stir with the much-coveted striker choosing to return to his hometown club in a £15m deal instead of joining Manchester United. No English club has broken a world transfer record since. Portuguese star Luis Figo stunned football when he left Barcelona to join Real Madrid in 2000. Real had to pay their bitter rivals £37m to land Figo, who helped them to two La Liga titles and the European Cup in 2002 - the last time the Spanish giants won the competition. The move was also the first of five world transfer records broken by Real. They would beat their own record a year later by signing France midfielder Zinedine Zidane for £45.6m from Juventus. The World Cup winner ended his career in Spain after adding a La Liga title and European Cup to his honours list. The summer of 2009 saw Real shock world football not once, but twice. Not happy with landing Kaka from AC Milan for £56m, the Spaniards also brought in Cristiano Ronaldo for £80m from Manchester United. Ronaldo has gone on to be regarded as second only to Lionel Messi as the world's best player. Bale began his career as a promising left-back with Southampton before moving to Tottenham. His hat-trick against Inter Milan in 2010, despite coming in a 4-3 defeat for Spurs, announced the Welshman to the world. Last season in the Premier League, Bale reached a new level. The new Real Madrid signing scored nine winning goals in the Premier League last term - more than any other player. Bale made 33 league appearances and scored 21 goals from 133 shots. Bale may have racked up only four assists but he did create 75 chances for his team-mates - more than Messi (47) and Ronaldo (63). The 24-year-old also had a higher pass completion rate than Ronaldo, with 79% of his 1,131 passes reaching their desired target compared with the Portugal attacker's 77%. Messi led the way among the trio with 85% from 1,759 passes. Bale attempted 154 dribbles last season with a completion rate of 38%, less than Ronaldo (46%) and Messi (60%). But the former Tottenham man attempted 272 crosses last season - much more than Messi (41) and Ronaldo (74). Bale also proved willing to put a foot in, with 73% of his 33 tackles coming off. Sourced from Opta. "I was compelled to accept the transfer" - Italy forward Roberto Baggio on his £8m move to Juventus in 1990 after Fiorentina fans rioted following the deal. "We aren't going to start anything but, and I don't want this to sound like a threat, I'm not going to forget this. Someone who does this to me will pay for it" - former Barcelona president Joan Gaspart at the time of Figo's move to Real Madrid. "I wanted to stay but the world crisis affected my decision. I knew I'd only leave Milan to play for Real" - Kaka reveals financial problems at AC Milan forced him to agree to his £56m move to Real Madrid in 2009. "Do you think I would get into a contract with that mob? Jesus Christ, no chance. I wouldn't sell them a virus" - former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson on the possibility of selling Ronaldo to Real Madrid. The Spain Under-21 international, 20, underwent a medical at Old Trafford on Monday and will finalise what is thought to be an £18.9m move on Friday. "I feel very proud and I can't wait to start playing here," De Gea told MUTV. "When a club the size of Manchester United comes in for you, it obviously makes you very, very happy. I'm keen to do my best and show what I can do." The deal marks De Gea out as the second most expensive keeper behind Gianluigi Buffon, who cost Juventus £32.6m in 2001. *Estimated fee De Gea, part of the is a product of Atletico's youth academy, spending his first professional season with the club's reserves in the Segunda Division B before making his senior debut as a substitute in the Champions League against Porto in September 2009. Since then he has made nearly 100 senior appearances for the Spanish outfit. His arrival at Old Trafford follows the departure of Edwin van der Sar, who retired after the Champions League final defeat by Barcelona in May. In May, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed the Red Devils had been working on the De Gea deal for "quite a while". "He's a young goalkeeper, very quick, good composure, presence and an outstanding replacement for Van der Sar," Ferguson told the club website. The hardest person to replace in your team is always the goalkeeper. De Gea is only a young boy, so it will be very intriguing to see how he goes. Read more "We were looking for the same type of qualities as Edwin, because the one great quality Edwin always had was his composure and organisational ability." And, upon completion of the deal, De Gea added: "I saw Man Utd's interest as an extra motivation to work even harder to show off my ability. "It's a great privilege to be part of a club like United." Ferguson currently has goalkeepers Tomasz Kuszczak, Anders Lindegaard and Ben Amos on his books but De Gea is widely expected to be the Scot's number one in the new season. The deal takes the Premier League champions' summer spending past the £50m mark after the acquisitions of defender Phil Jones from Blackburn and Ashley Young from Aston Villa. Kyrgios, 20, hit 17 aces in a 6-2 7-6 (7-3) victory as he finished the week without dropping a set or losing a single service game. The world number 41 beat top-10 players Richard Gasquet and Tomas Berdych in the quarter and semi-finals. "I think I served really, really well again," said Kyrgios. He has already made it to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, but the closest he had got to landing a title was reaching the Estoril Open final in 2015. "I played my first final last year and was looking for my first title," said Kyrgios, who returned in Marseille after an elbow injury. "I didn't really expect to win this title this week after having a couple of weeks off, but from the first round I started playing really well and just gained confidence as I kept winning matches." Britain's Colin Fleming and Israel's Jonathan Erlich lost 6-2 6-3 to Mate Pavic of Croatia and New Zealander Michael Venus in the doubles final. 23 May 2016 Last updated at 06:42 BST It's on the southern Italian island of Sicily, where it's been firing lava and volcanic ash in to the sky.

The All Blacks, unbeaten at Eden Park since 1994, are favourites to beat a Lions side whose only series victory in New Zealand was in 1971. "There's always pressure on us and we don't mind pressure," Read said. "Losing would be pretty bad. "We will go out there and expect to win." Read was part of New Zealand's World Cup wins of 2011 and 2015, but believes the opening match against with the Lions is "probably the most important right now" in his career. The 31-year-old has recovered from a broken thumb to lead his country. He is expecting a physical battle between the two sets of forwards after the Lions' pack helped them to impressive wins over the Crusaders and New Zealand Maori during the run-up to the first Test. "Whoever dominates the set-piece ruck area will have a strong chance of winning the game," he said. Lions coach Warren Gatland sprung a surprise with his selection, opting for full-back Liam Williams and wing Elliot Daly, ahead of Leigh Halfpenny and George North respectively. Gatland has promised his side will be "courageous", adding "you have to score tries" to beat the All Blacks. Pte Richard Hunt, from Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, died after his vehicle was caught in an explosion in Helmand Province in August 2009. His mother Hazel later started the Welsh Warrior Foundation which raised more than £250,000 in eight years. But she said the charity has now come to a "natural end" and would close. Sunday will mark nine years since Pte Hunt, of 2nd Battalion The Royal Welsh, was hit by the explosion while on patrol. Mrs Hunt said she hoped the charity's lasting legacy would be greater awareness of the difficulties veterans face after active service. The charity has helped larger causes, such as Veterans With Dogs, and individual ex-service men and women in need. "Literally just after his funeral we raised £25,000 which we sent to Help For Heroes, and we carried it on from there," Mrs Hunt said. "One of Richard's loves was music, he played drums in a band, so we thought about a music festival for families - we had four of them. "We had people running marathons, people doing parachute jumps - you name it, people did it." Mrs Hunt said the charity provided some help in grieving for her son, who died just a few days before his 22nd birthday. "You don't get over it, you learn to live with it," she said. "His mantra would be 'if you want to go and do something, get off your backside and go and do it', so hopefully he'd be proud of it." Mrs Hunt said the foundation also aimed to alert others to the difficulties many soldiers were facing. She frequently spoke out about the struggles faced in getting the right equipment while on tour and a lack of support for conditions including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder when soldiers returned home. "I've learnt a lot… and they shouldn't just be left to rot on the scrap heap when they come home," she said. "A lot of them are quite capable of going on and doing other things with the right support." Mrs Hunt said with most British soldiers having left Afghanistan, other than for training roles, it felt like the "natural time" to wind the charity down. She still plans to play an active role in campaigning on behalf of veterans and keeps in regular contact with her son's close friends. "I think it's probably the hardest job that anyone will have to do - go to places like Afghanistan and fight for people who perhaps don't know you, don't understand you, don't want you there," she said. "The British forces are the very best in the world at doing it, but we need to show them that we recognise it when they come home again." Veterans With Dogs, which received £15,000 from the foundation, said the money would help train assistance dogs to reduce stress levels and make a "huge difference" to veterans suffering from service-related mental health conditions. They join Welsh laverbread, Anglesey sea salt and Carmarthen ham in having the European Commission-awarded status. Protected status means certain food and drink must be made in a specific geographical area to be given the name. Welsh Perry and Cider Society chairwoman Sally Perks said she was "thrilled". Protected Geographical Indication status is intended to ensure people know they are drinking or eating an authentic product from a specific area. There are 14 Welsh products with protected status, but this is the first time drinks have made the list. Ms Perks said: "It provides a huge boost to Welsh cider makers in getting their products recognised throughout the UK and abroad." Police took action against Matthew Adams, Daniel Batchelor, Javier Centeno-Gomez and a 17-year-old youth, all from Suffolk, after concerns were raised. The four pleaded guilty to a public order offence of threatening behaviour. They were each fined £100 and banned from climbing manmade buildings. Police said Adams, 23, of Raglan Street, Batchelor, 26, of Newark Road and a 17-year-old boy, all from Lowestoft, and Centeno-Gomez, 24, of Benacre Road, Ellough, near Beccles. They were prosecuted following reports of a number of incidents where men were reported to be climbing on structures around Lowestoft. The ban, which is active for two years, prohibits the four from climbing any structure more than 3m above the ground, unless it is specifically designed to be climbed, or unless they have written permission of the structure's owner and safety equipment is used. Officers showed footage to court from the quartet's head cameras, including images of two of the group lowering themselves over the edge of the roof and hanging off the side of St Peters Court in the town - 15 storeys above the ground. It also showed one of them parachuting from the wind turbine at Kessingland. A Suffolk Police spokesman said the threatening behaviour offence relates to them causing alarm and distress to residents of Lowestoft through their climbing and posting footage of their exploits on the internet. "Police felt they had no alternative but to take action due to the extreme danger of their actions. As was pointed out during sentencing, they may have fallen and not only killed themselves but innocent passers-by on the ground," he said. Adams disputed whether they put lives at risk. "What people don't understand is that we put a lot of training into this. I accept what I am doing is dangerous, but we prepare for it and we don't encourage other people to do it," he said. The four appeared at Lowestoft Magistrates' Court on 10 March, where they all pleaded guilty. They were also ordered to pay £20 victim compensation and £85 costs. Sixteen papers have so far been granted licences, although only four were ready to publish on Monday. This is another important milestone on Burma's journey away from authoritarian rule, the BBC's Jonathan Head reports from the commercial capital, Rangoon. Until recently, reporters in Burma faced some of the harshest restrictions in the world. Private dailies in Burmese, English and other languages, which had been commonplace in the former British colony, were forced to close under military rule in 1964. Subsequently, journalists were frequently subjected to surveillance and phone-tapping, and were often tortured or imprisoned. Newspapers that broke the rules were shut down. But media controls have been relaxed as part of a programme of reforms launched by the government of President Thein Sein that took office in 2011. Last August, the government informed journalists they would no longer have to submit their work routinely to state censors before publication. It announced in December that private dailies would be allowed to publish from 1 April. Some initial print runs will be a modest few thousand, while the papers assess demand, our correspondent reports. "I foresee several hurdles along the way," Khin Maung Lay, the 81-year-old editor of Golden Fresh Land, told the Associated Press. "However, I am ready to run the paper in the spirit of freedom and professionalism taught by my peers during the good old days." The other three dailies are The Voice, The Union and The Standard Time. "The Voice daily sold out soon after it arrived even though I ordered double the amount than other newspapers. People are keen to read private daily newspapers for the first time," vendor Phyu Phyu told the AFP news agency. The four papers all had different leads. The Voice carried an update on the situation in western Rakhine state, which saw deadly religious clashes last year. It also covered a weekend concert in Rangoon by Danish band Michael Learns to Rock. The Golden Fresh Land reported on opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's visit to Japan, as well as action being taken against corrupt government officials. Standard Time looked at violence by majority Buddhists against Muslims in central Burma last week. The arrival of privately owned papers on the news stands coincides with the first anniversary of the election of Aung San Suu Kyi to parliament. She has since become an energetic player in the assembly, although, like the government, she is finding it difficult to respond to the complex challenges now confronting her country, our correspondent says. She has been criticised for failing to speak out over the recent wave of attacks on Muslim communities, he adds - an issue over which the newly-liberated media is also being censured after some inaccurate and inflammatory reporting. Aung San Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy, is to start printing its own daily newspaper later this month. The charges allege that the Southern California (SoCal) Gas Company violated health and safety laws by failing to report and contain leaking methane. Ms Harris said the impact had been devastating to families in the area. The leak in Porter Ranch began on 23 October and has forced more than 13,000 people from their homes. It has been blamed for a variety of health issues and has been described by environmental campaigner Erin Brockovich as the worst environmental disaster in the US since 2010. Methane is also a greenhouse gas, like carbon dioxide (CO2). While it does not linger in the atmosphere as long as CO2, it is initially more damaging to the climate because is absorbs the sun,s heat so effectively. SoCal Gas spokesman Mike Mizrahi has repeatedly insisted that his company complied with all relevant state and federal regulations in the run-up to the leak. The firm has promised that it will be plugged by the end of February and the single well in question, a depleted oil field known as SS-25, will be taken out of use. The use of old oil and gas wells for storing natural gas is relatively common in the United States, according to industry bodies. But the state government says that SocCal is entirely to blame for the incident. "The impact of this unprecedented gas leak is devastating to families in our state, our environment and our efforts to combat global warming," Ms Harris said in a statement. "Southern California Gas Company must be held accountable." The lawsuit filed by the attorney general seeks unspecified civil penalties and emulates similar legal moves taken in December by the Los Angeles city attorney. The leak has been described as the biggest in California's history, forcing nearly 4,500 families living in the upmarket Porter Ranch area to relocate. About 1,200 more households are in the process of following them. Repeated efforts to stop the leak by pouring liquid and mud down the stricken well have been unsuccessful. SoCal is now drilling a relief well to seal the damaged well. Ms Brockovich has described the leak as a "BP oil spill on land", comparing it to the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico six years ago, in which 11 people died. The effect of the leak on human health is contested. SoCal Gas insists there is no evidence that it poses a long-term risk but some scientists say there are not enough data for them to be sure. 1.77 million: approximate number of cows burping for a year to produce equivalent methane 1.41 million: number of cars that would need to be added to the road to have a similar greenhouse effect in a year 13,000: number of people who have been relocated so far Calls grow for gas facility shutdown Belching cows and the LA methane leak All of the managerial movements for May will appear below, followed by the full list of each club, league-by-league.

Kiwi numbers have been falling at around 2% a year, largely due to predators such as stoats and dogs. Once numbering in the millions, there are now only an estimated 68,000 kiwi remaining in the wild. "This government is not prepared to accept that our national bird is at any ongoing risk of potentially becoming extinct in their natural habitat," said Conservation Minister Maggie Barry. "This strategy focuses on growing the wild kiwi population, rather than steadying or managing decline," added Ms Barry. As well as increasing numbers, the plan will also restore the birds' formerly safe habitats. "It is possible to bring kiwi back from endangered to everywhere," says the report. Success lies in managing kiwi predators. Dogs are one of the biggest threats, with a single dog capable of setting back years of conservation work in an area. "If kiwi don't have the predators managed, something like 5% of the chicks born every year make it to adulthood a year later," Forest and Bird campaigns and advocacy manger Kevin Hackwell told news outlet Newshub. "That can be almost reversed completely if you control the predators." Stoats are another threat to kiwi, responsible for approximately half of kiwi chick deaths on the mainland. Currently, humans intervene by taking kiwi eggs, incubating them and rearing them in captivity before releasing them into the wild. But this strategy is "expensive and very labour-intensive", according to Mr Hackwell. "The goal is seeing our national bird being healthy out in the environment, not having to be kept behind fences or anything," he said. The plan also ties into the government's Predator-Free 2050 plan which aims to rid the country of possums, rats and stoats. The government has set NZ$11.2m (£6.33m; $8.10bn) aside for kiwi conservation, but a shortfall of NZ$1.3m still remains each year. This will primarily be funded by national charity Kiwis for kiwi. The Green Party, however, says the programme should be funded by the government, not left to charities. "The government could easily pay the $1.3m it is asking charities to pick up," said Green Party conservation spokesperson Mojo Mathers. "The kiwi is our treasured national bird - the government should not be leaving its survival up to charity or chance." The public are being invited to have their say on the kiwi protection proposals before the end of January next year. They were arrested on 16 June in a market in Inezgane, near Agadir, after being heckled by market traders. Their case sparked a national outcry and an internet petition calling the arrest an attack on personal freedom attracted thousands of signatures. Hundreds of lawyers offered to defend the women in court. Women's rights campaigner Fouzia Assouli told the AFP news agency the acquittal showed that wearing a skirt "is not a crime". Moroccan news site Tel Quel quotes the women's lawyer, Houcine Bekkar Sbai, as saying that the next step is to prosecute the people who harassed them in the market. Ministers said the move, defeated when the SNP formed a minority government, would help tackle reoffending. Currently there is a presumption against courts imposing sentences of three months or less. Figures showed 60% of those sentenced to less than three months were reconvicted within a year. In 2010 the government introduced, for the first time in Scots law, a presumption against short prison sentences, except where no other punishment would be appropriate. Proposals to impose a six-month limit were dropped because the SNP government feared opposition parties would vote it down. Under the law passed in 2010, the court must publicly state its reasons for imposing a short sentence. Ministers are to launch a consultation on whether the minimum period should be extended, and by how much. Under the proposals, offenders would serve their sentences in the community instead of being jailed, and receive help for the causes of their offending behaviour, including drug or alcohol addictions or mental health issues. Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said although crime levels are falling, Scotland has one of the highest prison populations per capita in western Europe. Two-thirds (66%) of those jailed in Scotland receive terms of six months or less. Mr Mathseon said evidence has consistently shown short term prison sentences are ineffective in reducing reoffending. "Prison will always be the right place for serious offenders who should be punished appropriately," he said. "Short sentences do nothing to stop reoffending in our communities and only result in offenders going in and out of prison time and time again and reoffending upon release." He added: "This isn't about being 'soft' or 'tough', it is about being 'smart' and acting on the clear evidence in front of us. "We must tackle the revolving door to our prisons and I believe these proposals will give greater protection to our communities, whilst helping offenders turn their lives around and become active and responsible citizens." Tom Halpin, chief executive of the community safety charity Sacro, welcomed the announcement. He said: "Simply jailing offenders for a short time does nothing to rehabilitate them, nothing to challenge their behaviour and nothing to pay back to victims for the harm they have caused. "The proposed extension to the presumption against short sentences offers a radical and progressive step for Scotland's justice system that is needed to further reduce reoffending." The former first minister Henry McLeish, who chaired the Commission into the future of Scotland's Prisons in 2008, said: "The most important recommendation in my Prisons Commission Report was to introduce a presumption against short sentences of less than 6 months. "Legislation was passed on three months and we now have the possibility of a more radical reform. "Extending the existing presumption period could be of significant help to the prison service, provide more effective and appropriate help for those who are not a threat to society and with further investment in community alternatives, help cut reoffending. "This is a bold and imaginative consultation paper and I hope it generates a positive response." But the Scottish Conservatives said the move "could mean hundreds of people convicted of crimes like housebreaking, handling offensive weapons and common assault walking free". It said the latest figures showed that more than 5,000 people were jailed for between three and six months last year. The statistics included 874 common assaults, 184 drug crimes, 164 cases of handling an offensive weapon, and 210 housebreakings. In 2013/14 there were even 13 occasions when attempted murder and serious assaults were dealt with by way of a custodial sentence between three and six months, along with 12 sexual assaults, the Conservatives said. The party's justice spokeswoman, Margaret Mitchell, said: "Extending the presumption against short-term sentences simply gives offenders the impression that their crimes aren't serious enough to go to jail. "Victims deserve a justice system that advocates for their interests instead of pandering to those of criminals. The Scottish government needs to get a grip. "Instead of emptying our prisons, it should provide better, more widely-available rehabilitation programmes and throughcare to get the reoffending rate down, which is in everyone's interest." The spectacles have been created by local communities, with trees sponsored and dressed by businesses, organisations, charities and schools. The popularity of Christmas Tree Festivals has grown year by year, with the Church of the Holy Cross, in Uckfield, East Sussex, now celebrating its eighth year. Last year, more than 5,000 people visited the festival, and this year the church is filled with 83 trees reflecting the wide range of activities within the town. A variety of entertainment runs alongside the festival, with any donations received going towards the upkeep of the church and the Children's Society. St Andrew's Parish Church, in Farnham, Surrey, is holding its first Christmas Tree Festival after holding flower festivals in the past. All of its trees are artificial with some of the more innovative designs reflecting the organisations they represent. Meg Daniels, one of the organisers, said it cost almost £500 a day to keep the whole parish running, and any donations received during its four-day festival would go towards the upkeep of the church. She said the event was meant for everybody to enjoy. In Kent, the Reverend Kevin Barnard is officiating at his first Christmas as Vicar of Westerham. About 80 trees and wreaths decorate the Parish Church of St Mary The Virgin, sponsored by businesses, schools, families and individuals. Many trees remain in the church for the whole Christmas period, while others return to their designers and reappear in shops, offices and homes after the festival ends. The new vicar, who moved to the town in August, said of the festival: "I couldn't have had a better demonstration of St Mary's role at the heart of the community, just as it has been for centuries." Liverpool-based Merseycare and Stanford University have been in talks on how the technology could work. The aim is to have the prototype ready by June with the first patients being monitored in January. There were 6,122 suicides in the UK in 2014 - a 2% decrease on the year before. The app would allow clinicians to provide round-the-clock observations on people who they fear may be considering suicide. It would work by monitoring all digital communications by a patient - emails, social media, even phone calls - and spot potential dangers. Three quarters of suicides are in men. If for instance someone was tracked as being at a well-known suicide hotspot, or missed an appointment, or even told a friend they were feeling suicidal, the app would alert clinicians who would then be able to contact the person and provide appropriate support. All patients would have to voluntarily submit to being monitored. Dr David Fearnley, medical director at Merseycare, said: "The potential is incredible." He added: "We think we can anticipate people who may be likely to harm themselves with greater accuracy than we currently do, and therefore be able to do something about it and save their lives." Last year, Merseycare committed itself to a zero suicide policy by 2020, meaning they hope to end all suicides of service users. The initiative requires a new approach across the trust, from staff training to greater patient involvement. The development of the app is part of that process, and is based on a belief that people are often more open with their friends and relatives than they are with clinicians. "This is an opportunity to exploit technology in a way we've never been able to before in health, by providing very powerful, decision-making, statistical support to clinicians in real time for the people who are most at risk," added Dr Fearnley. The development of the app builds on work that five NHS trusts and US hospitals are already engaged in. Their collaboration has created technology that is already scanning all the data being inputted in the trusts, digitising and analysing it and telling medics - within hours - where danger signs, such as falls or medication problems, are emerging. Merseycare and Stanford are aiming for patients to start using the app in January 2017; its success will then be evaluated by outside experts over the following three years. Thousands of troops marched across Red Square in Moscow, and new armour was displayed for the first time. Many foreign dignitaries were present, but most Western leaders stayed away because of Russia's role in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin said global co-operation had been put at risk in recent years. His Ukrainian counterpart accused him of justifying aggression. Russia denies claims by the West that it is arming rebels in eastern Ukraine. More than 6,000 people have been killed since fighting began in April 2014 in Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions. As it happened: Moscow parade In his opening speech, President Putin paid tribute to the sacrifices of Soviet troops during World War Two. He also thanked "the people of Great Britain, France and the United States for their contribution to victory". But he added: "In recent decades the basic principles of international co-operation have been ignored ever more frequently. We see how a military-bloc mentality is gaining momentum." The remarks echo previous complaints by Mr Putin about what he says are efforts by the US and its Nato allies to encircle Russia militarily. Meanwhile, at a wreath-laying ceremony in Kiev, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko condemned Russia's portrayal of his government as fascist over the past year. "Obviously this is done with one aim alone - to justify... the Russian aggression against Ukraine." The victory parade in Moscow started at 10:00 local time (07:00 GMT). Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Pranab Mukherjee of India and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon were among more than 20 world leaders watching the event. Military units from across Russia - some dressed in WW2-era uniforms - marched, and more than 100 aircraft flew over Red Square. BBC diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall, Moscow: Compare this year's foreign guest list with previous years. This time, instead of Russia's European wartime allies, standing next to President Putin was the Chinese President, Xi Jinping. Other VIPs included the presidents of India, Egypt, and South Africa, Central Asian leaders, and longstanding Russian friends like Cuba and Venezuela. Most Western leaders stayed away in protest at Russia's actions in Ukraine, sending their ambassadors to the parade instead. Some denied it was a boycott, but the message was clear. "It wouldn't be appropriate for Western leaders to stand on a military podium with Mr Putin after Russia's annexation of Crimea," said one European diplomat. Marching in Moscow and Donetsk 'Highlight was the aircraft' Also on show was the new, hi-tech Armata battle tank, which has a remote-controlled gun turret and reinforced capsule for the crew, as well as the RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles - each capable of delivering three nuclear warheads. In a sign of closer ties between Russia and China, a column of Chinese troops marched in Moscow for the first time. In pictures: Russian WW2 Victory Day Russia's Great Patriotic War 1941-1945 Military parades on a smaller scale were also held in other cities, including Sevastopol in Crimea - Ukraine's southern peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014 - as well as the Ukrainian rebel-held cities of Donetsk and Luhansk. The US, Australia, Canada and most EU leaders avoided the celebrations in Russia - despite invitations - because of Moscow's alleged involvement in the Ukraine crisis. On Friday, Poland organised an alternative event for those leaders who refused to go to Moscow. Events in Gdansk were attended by the presidents of several countries, including Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania and Ukraine. Mr Ban, the UN chief, was also there. Certainly it drew derision from the Conservative benches and the deputy speaker had to intervene several times to calm the atmosphere. The Labour leader accused Chancellor George Osborne of "six years of failure" - failing to meet his own targets to balance the books and to rebalance the economy. And that F word was deployed time and again. George Osborne, he argued, had also failed on investment, productivity and tackling inequality, In the Commons chamber, the Conservative chair of the Treasury Select Committee Andrew Tyrie acknowledged that it is the most difficult task an opposition leader faces - responding to a detailed budget of which he has no advance sight. So a decision seemed to have been taken in advance by Labour's upper echelons to take a relatively risk-free approach, and denounce the things that were obviously going to be in the Budget rather than respond to the detail - though there was a welcome for the "surprise" sugar tax announcement. Lower forecasts for growth were compared to the "lofty rhetoric" of the chancellor in past statements when he promised "a march of the makers". And not for the first time austerity was criticised as a "political choice" - a point Jeremy Corbyn had made during the Labour leadership campaign and which was aimed at his internal as well as external opponents. There was strident criticism in his speech of government cuts in personal independence payments for people with disabilities while corporation tax was being cut. But he said little about what Labour would do instead. It took a later briefing from his shadow chancellor and close political ally John McDonnell to state that the disability cuts would be reversed by returning corporation tax to its former rate - and that Labour would accept the increase in the threshold at which the 40p rate of tax is paid. But there was no attempt to emulate the jaw-dropping response to the Autumn Statement last year - when Mr McDonnell produced a copy of Chairman Mao's little red book. It was an attempt at political satire - highlighting the sale of British assets to a big foreign government and the chancellor's attempts to get more infrastructure investment from a country with a less than salubrious human rights record. But it fell flat when the chancellor parried the attack by suggesting his left-wing opposite number was waving around his own "signed copy" and had sent shadow cabinet members to "re-education camps". The whole episode meant less attention was devoted to a government u-turn on tax credits. But there was a price - albeit a smaller one - to be paid by taking a more cautious route this time around. As the old adage goes, it's better to be talked about than not talked about. Jeremy Corbyn's speech lacked focus at times, and wasn't exactly full of light and shade - often delivered in the same tone of voice. Some on his own frontbench were more distracted by their phones and texts than by his rhetoric. Some on the backbenches quite simply chatted. And perhaps because the Chamber was so full, some Labour MPs watched him from the gallery above. The line-up was a bit like a frontbench in exile, full of people who range from being mildly to extremely sceptical of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership in public or private. As one former minister put it: "There was a good opening paragraph in his speech on Osborne's failure to hit his own targets but then he wasted the rest of it with a predictable list of cuts he didn't like. Apart from everything else he has no self discipline so can't stick to one key point." Another former frontbencher put it more bluntly: "There was no coherent message and no credibility." A newer MP was more positive, praising a "good effort" while another liked "his one good joke" - that the Ebbsfleet garden city had been re-announced so many times by the government, there was now one press release for every 12 homes and clearly more press releases would be needed to solve the housing crisis. However, the shadow chancellor John McDonnell was unequivocal. It wasn't just his verdict, he said, but "right across the PLP" the view was that Jeremy Corbyn "gave a great performance". But it's unlikely the parliamentary party were the Labour leader's target audience. As one of his MPs put it privately: "He wasn't light footed enough to respond to the government announcements and focused on "our people" as always. But it will warm the cockles of the Corbynistas." Amid rumours of a possible challenge to his position abounding at Westminster, Jeremy Corbyn railing against "unfairness" did nothing to make his position less secure amongst grassroots party members and supporters who like his dividing lines with the government and who will vote in any leadership contest. Ms Rudd will argue that the UK faces an "electric shock" outside the EU, pointing to research suggesting energy costs could increase by £500m a year. The UK, she will claim, is more at risk of Russian "hijacking" outside the EU. Leave campaigners said the UK did not depend on the EU or Russia for supplies and EU membership pushed costs up. EU vote: all you need to know With three months to go until the referendum on the UK's EU membership on 23 June, both sides are focusing on the question of what leaving the EU would mean for employment, growth, domestic security and national sovereignty. The government, which is backing EU membership, has been accused by its opponents of scaring people about the risks of EU exit. In a speech in Kent, Ms Rudd will claim that EU membership has kept household energy bills down, providing access to cheap electricity from the continent and facilitating billions of pounds of investment in the UK's energy network and supply chain. "Does anybody really think all of that investment would continue if we left the EU and with no extra costs," she will say. She will highlight research commissioned by the National Grid which suggests that, although uncertain, the impact of leaving the EU on the UK's energy capability is "very likely to be negative". The report, written by consultants Vivid Economics, warns that if the UK was to be excluded from the EU's Internal Energy Market after voting to leave, it could force up energy costs by up to £500m by the 2020s. This, Ms Rudd will argue, is "the equivalent of British bills going up by around £1.5m and each and every day". She will also portray life outside the EU as a direct threat to the UK's energy security, arguing that as the UK becomes more dependant on gas imports, the more EU membership is needed to minimise the risk of threats to supplies from other sources, particularly Russia, Europe's largest gas exporter. "We have seen how countries such as Putin's Russia use their gas supplies as a tool of foreign policy, threatening to cut off supplies or drastically increase prices," she will say. "We can't let our energy be hijacked as a political pawn to bring Europe to its knees...As a bloc of 500 million people, we have the power to force Putin's hand." The research makes clear the UK would be able to mitigate most of these risks if it remained a member of the Internal Energy Market. Countries outside the EU, such as Norway, are members. It also argues the short-term risk to gas supplies are minimal since the UK has a diversified source of supply, obtaining much of its gas from Norway, and is one of the largest producers of liquefied natural gas in Western Europe. While in the event of leaving the EU, the UK would be free to strike bilateral deals with major energy suppliers, it says there could be an impact in terms of higher financing costs and access to interconnectors. Vote Leave said there was no evidence that the single market in energy would reduce prices, citing research suggesting EU energy regulation cost the UK between £86.6bn and £93.2bn "Amber Rudd's absurd claims simply aren't backed up by her own research," said its chief executive Matthew Elliott. "If we want cheaper bills, less commission interference and the ability to spend our money on our priorities, then the safe option is to Vote Leave." And Grassroots Out said the UK would have £14bn to spend as it wished if it left the EU and major inward investments would still go ahead. "This is the Government's Project Fear taken to a whole new level," said director Alex Deane. "The UK has one of the highest carbon resources in Europe. Putin does not have the power to switch off the lights in Britain, as the energy secretary implies. In any case, we can't decide our nation's future based on whether we think Putin will smile or frown." The EU has sought to liberalise energy markets in the past 20 years to boost cross-border trade, increase competition and reduce wholesale prices but critics argue it is being held back by gaps in infrastructure and inconsistencies in market rules. National Grid said it was not expressing an opinion one way or another about the UK's future in the EU but wanted to inform the debate by providing evidence about different scenarios. State Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby announced the revised charges on Thursday, but the most serious charges - including second-degree murder - remained. Gray suffered a severe spinal cord injury in police custody in April and died a week later. His death sparked weeks of protests and later riots and looting in Baltimore. "As is often the case, during an ongoing investigation, charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence," Ms Mosby said. The grand jury did not return charges on the false imprisonment charges that were brought against some of the officers. Ms Mosby brought the false imprisonment charges earlier claiming that Gray's arrest was unjustified and illegal. However, the grand jury did return new reckless endangerment charges that were not part of the original charges announced three weeks ago. Ms Mosby has said that Gray's neck was broken while he was being handcuffed and placed into a police van. She also said that police repeatedly ignored his pleas for medical attention. The officers are scheduled to appear in court on 2 July. A lawyer for the six Baltimore police officers said they "did nothing wrong", after criminal charges were announced by Ms Mosby earlier this month. Lawyer Michael Davey said the officers "at all times acted reasonably and in accordance with their training" and accused Ms Mosby of an "egregious rush to judgement". "As all of the facts surrounding this case come out in the appropriate form, the officers' lack of wrongdoing will be made abundantly clear." He also said that the defence team had "grave concerns about the fairness and integrity of the prosecution of our officers". Ms Mosby rejected a police union request to step aside and appoint a special prosecutor to handle the case. The grand jury's decision to bring charges largely similar to Ms Mosby's may quiet calls for her to step aside. Gray's death is the latest in a string of high-profile cases in the US where unarmed black men have died after contact with the police. After his funeral, riots broke out in sections of West Baltimore, prompting city and state officials to deploy thousands of extra law enforcement officers and National Guard troops to keep the peace and enact a citywide curfew. Jamie Shaul went over to put Hull ahead, but Saints led at half-time thanks to James Roby's try from dummy-half and a penalty from Percival. Percival went over after good work from Theo Fages, before Mahe Fonua crossed to reduce the visitors' deficit. But Percival touched down acrobatically from Fages' kick, before Danny Richardson's drop-kick sealed the win. Saints are now almost certain to finish in Super League's top eight, with only Catalans - six points behind with three games to play - able to catch them. Hull, who lost 45-0 when the two sides met in May, were already assured of a top-eight finish, as they stay fourth in the table. The result could have been different had Fetuli Talanoa not had a try correctly disallowed for a push on Tommy Makinson shortly before Percival's second try, but instead Saints held on for a sixth consecutive home victory. St Helens: Lomax; Makinson, Morgan, Percival, Grace; Fages, Richardson; Douglas, Roby, Thompson, Taia, Peyroux, Knowles. Replacements: Walmsley, Amor, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Lee. Hull FC: Shaul; Fonua, Griffin, Tuimavave, Talanoa; Kelly, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Bowden, Washbrook, Minichiello, Manu. Replacements: Watts, Connor, Thompson, Fash. Referee: Phil Bentham Several protesters were arrested during the dawn work to cut down eight trees in Rustlings Road last year. The city council, which apologised, said it now planned to "work better with residents to get the job done". The felling was part of a wider scheme to improve streets and remove diseased, damaging or dangerous trees. There were angry scenes in November when work began to fell trees in Rustlings Road at 05:00 GMT. Two women arrested were charged under trade union legislation and are due to appear at Sheffield Magistrates' Court later in January. It was the latest in a series of stand-offs between contractors and protesters in the city. The Streets Ahead project is a 25-year agreement between the council and contractors Amey to upgrade Sheffield's roads, pavements, street lights and bridges. The council said it wanted to work in a "collaborative way... to regain the trust of people in Sheffield". The council had already promised that tree felling would not now begin before 07:00. The advice of an Independent Tree Panel is to be published before work begins on replacing other trees. A working group is also to look at plans to chop down trees in the Western Road First World War Memorial, planted to honour school pupils killed in World War One. The council is also "to retain and improve" four other war memorials containing trees. "Our commitment to the street trees programme remains as strong as ever, and the job has got to be done. We know we have to do better when it comes to working with people," said the council. The council plans to replace an estimated 10,000 trees out of 36,000 on the city's streets. Felled trees are replaced and additional ones planted, said the council. Mr Modi's trip will last three days, and his planned engagements include meeting the Queen at Buckingham Palace and addressing thousands at Wembley Stadium. A minute's silence has been held at a football match in the home village of Gareth Willington, 59, and his son Daniel, 32, whose boat smashed into rocks and broke up on Thursday. One man was rescued and taken to hospital, but was pronounced dead. The other remains missing following the incident at St David's Head. The search has been scaled down. Secretary of Carew FC Jeremy Griffiths, said: "The tragedy has hit the whole village, we are a small and close community." Five lifeboats, a helicopter and local fishing boats were involved in the search. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch is investigating the sinking off Aberreidy Beach, near St David's. Wreckage from the boat - believed to be The Harvester - has been found over a four mile (6.4km) area. The body of Sinead Wooding, 26, was discovered by joggers near Alwoodley Crags car park in Stairfoot Lane on 14 May. Akshar Ali, 26, of Kings Road, Leeds, and Yasmin Ahmed, 27, of Reginald Mount, Leeds, both denied the charge during a hearing at Leeds Crown Court. They were remanded in custody and will stand trial on 13 November.　 More on this and other West Yorkshire stories At the same court hearing, Asim Ali, 20, of Kings Road, Leeds and Vicky Briggs, 25, of Throstle Road, Leeds both denied a charge of assisting an offender. They were released on bail. On Thursday, the Independent Police Complaints Commission announced it was investigating West Yorkshire Police over its actions prior to the discovery of Ms Wooding's body. Brig John Donnelly told an inquest into the death of Cheryl James the Army had not fully realised the risks of placing young soldiers on lone guard duty. Pte James, 18, from Denbighshire, was found dead at Deepcut barracks in 1995, amid claims of bullying and abuse. The inquest is the second into her death after new evidence was disclosed. Brig Donnelly, the Army's director of personal services, told the coroner: "I recognise we didn't put sufficient guidance in place. "In 1995 we didn't fully recognise the risk of relatively inexperienced trainees, putting them on armed guard in relatively isolated positions... the risk that people may have to other people in relation to discharging the weapons." He added: "I owe Mr and Mrs James an apology for those failings." Earlier, the family's barrister, Alison Foster QC, told the hearing a police officer called in to review the case had questioned the Army's view that Pte James had taken her own life. She said the Surrey Police officer had cast doubts on the suicide theory because of the circumstances in which her body had been found. Reading from the statement made by an officer who reviewed Pte James's death in 2002, she said: "There was no exit wound, the apparent lack of blood on the ground, the way in which the hood of [her] waterproof jacket was covering the face... any one of these indicators would not cause suspicion... but taken together, they ask questions about the way and the manner of Private James's death." The teenager, from Llangollen, was one of four young recruits to die in shootings at the barracks in a five-year period. A previous inquest, in 1995, recorded an open verdict, but a new one was ordered by the High Court after Surrey Police were ordered to disclose new evidence. Pte James's father, Des, told the inquest that the police officer's statement had confirmed suspicions that he and his wife, Doreen, had had at the time of their daughter's death. A statement from Mrs James, who was unable to attend the hearing, said Pte James had been a "caring and happy child" but had seen a psychologist after taking an overdose of paracetamol while at school. She said she had bought her daughter a diary with a distinctive cover and said: "I believe she would have continued to keep a diary while in the Army... I've always found it strange that the diary has never been found." The court heard there had been three potential suspects around the time Pte James died, including two "unknown males". Pte James's schoolfriend, Lydia Daksh, told the hearing she hated the Army and had not wanted to return after her last visit home. "She just wanted to go Awol," she said. Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events Ms Daksh said her friend was happy and bubbly, but had come to hate life in the Army. She also said Pte James had said she had been raped aged 13 or 14 after meeting boys at a party. "She didn't speak about it much, but after that it really affected her," Ms Daksh told the court in Woking. She was also asked about an incident of self-harming by Pte James. Ms Daksh said: "It was definitely after the rape occurred but it wasn't with the intent to kill herself." She agreed she had initially thought her friend had killed herself when told she had died, but she added: "Now I wouldn't say I felt certain." Another friend, Kirstie Mansfield, said the conclusion that Pte James had died by suicide had been "inflicted on us", and restated her belief that the soldier had not killed herself. The inquest continues. Matt Smith will return to the Royal Court in Anthony Neilson's new play Unreachable, about an obsessive film director. The play will be "created in the rehearsal room" and documented online as it evolves. Billie Piper will star at the Young Vic in a new work based on Federico Lorca's Yerma. Written and directed by Simon Stone, the play will feature Piper as a woman whose inability to have a child tears her life apart. The actress, who played companion Rose Tyler in Doctor Who, has a stage CV that includes Great Britain and The Effect, both at the National Theatre, and Reasons To Be Pretty at the Almeida. Matt Smith, who played the Eleventh Doctor from 2010-2013, was previously at the Royal Court in Fresh Kills and That Face. His other theatre credits include American Psycho (Almeida), Swimming with Sharks, in the West End and The History Boys at the National. Also in the cast for Unreachable are Amanda Drew, Tamara Lawrance, Jonjo O'Neill (who played opposite Piper in The Effect) and Richard Pyros. The Royal Court said that throughout rehearsals content would be posted online "that will offer audiences an insight into the process of devising work, and the themes and images that will shape the finished production". Unreachable will run at the Royal Court from 2 July to 6 August. Yerma will run at the Young Vic from 28 July to 24 September. The attack, which told place in an alleyway, was reported to police just after 21:25 GMT on Friday night. The victim was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries which are not believed to be life threatening. The PSNI are appealing for information. Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak and two of his guards were seized early on Saturday in the centre of the capital Sanaa. The Houthis said they abducted him to prevent a UN-brokered deal between them and the presidency being broken. The country has been plagued by instability since mass protests forced former President, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to step down in 2012. Scores of people have been killed in clashes between the Houthis and Sunni militants. A statement from the Houthis warned President Hadi of "a series of special measures" they were prepared to take to prevent the breaking of the deal. The two sides agreed a truce in September last year after mounting clashes in Sanaa. Negotiations are under way to secure Mr Bin Mubarak's release. Houthi rebels blocked his appointment as prime minister last year. The group was formed in 2004 to win greater autonomy for their home region of Saada, and to protect followers of Zaidism, the branch of Islam they adhere to. Their critics say they are a proxy for Iran, a charge the rebels deny. A video purportedly from al-Qaeda in Yemen (AQAP) said it planned and financed the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in France that killed 12, but did not provide evidence to support its claims. There have been separate protests in Sanaa about the rising violence in the country and against the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo's decision to publish an image of the Prophet Muhammad. The milestone was achieved 76 hours into the latest leg of its attempt to circumnavigate the globe. Pilot Andre Borschberg is making steady progress as he attempts the first solar-powered crossing of the Pacific. After leaving Nagoya, Japan, early on Monday (local time), he has now passed Midway Island and is heading towards his destination of Kalaeloa, Hawaii. At 76 hours into the journey, he broke the record for the longest ever non-stop solo flight without refuelling. The previous mark was set by the American Steve Fossett in 2006. His jet-powered Virgin GlobalFlyer vehicle completed a full circumnavigation of the world in that time, travelling more than 41,000km. In contrast, Mr Borschberg's Solar Impulse plane, which carries no fuel at all, had gone "only" some 5,500km in its 76 hours of flight. Wednesday saw the Swiss pilot fly a holding pattern to time his encounter with an upcoming cold front to the optimum. This will occur on Thursday, and Mr Borschberg needs good sun conditions to get his aircraft up and over the weather system so that he can navigate the final stretch into Kalaeloa on Friday. Precisely when this historic landing will occur is somewhat uncertain. Solar Impulse has some quite strict constraints to ensure the 72m-wingspan vehicle can put its wheels down safely. These include a maximum cross wind of no more than four knots and a maximum overall wind speed of no more than 10 knots. If it is too windy at ground level, Mr Borschberg will be instructed to circle overhead until the conditions calm down. By then, he will probably have spent more than 120 hours in the air. So far, he has coped remarkably well on very little sleep, and on Wednesday even made time to joke around in his cockpit by donning a wig and fake beard. When he gets to Hawaii, he will be met by fellow adventurer and business partner, Bertrand Piccard. The pair have shared the flying duties in the single-seater plane's round-the-world quest, which began in Abu Dhabi, UAE, back in March. It is Mr Piccard – who famously made the first non-stop, global circumnavigation in a balloon – who will fly the next leg from Kalaeloa to Phoenix, Arizona. That is not quite as far as the current stint, but it still likely to take four days and nights. From Phoenix, Solar Impulse will head for New York and an Atlantic crossing that would eventually see the plane return to Abu Dhabi. Borschberg and Piccard have used the various stopovers on their round-the-world journey to carry a campaigning message to local people on the topic of clean technologies. Their Solar Impulse plane is not intended to be a vision of the future of aviation. Rather, it is supposed to be a demonstration of the current capabilities of solar power in general. The vehicle is covered in 17,000 photovoltaic cells. These either power the vehicle's electric motors directly, or charge its lithium-ion batteries, which sustain the plane during the night hours.

Parents were warned that "illicit items" had been found in a letter from the deputy head. Bishop Road Primary School told the BBC it did not want to comment. One mother told the BBC: "It really concerns me that things like this are being found in the playground." "I don't want my child touching these sorts of things. We're waiting to hear what the school and prison are going to do about it." Bishop Road Primary backs onto HMP Bristol in Horfield, a category B men's prison, with some young offenders. The school's deputy head Joe Emissah wrote to parents on Wednesday, praising the prison for its work with the school. But he added: "Recently there have been a number of incidents in which items intended to be illicitly passed over the prison wall to inmates, have found their way into the Silverthorne playground. "I am proud to say that children at Bishop Road always impress staff, parents and visitors alike with their great maturity, awareness and responsibility in raising any concerns of this nature." Avon and Somerset Police said they were using dogs and officers to search people coming into the prison, which has security cameras on its perimeter. Inspector Mark Runacres said: "We believe someone has tried to get these items into the prison by attempting to throw them over the prison wall. "We always work closely with our partners at HMP Bristol. We are already aware of this issue and we are actively working to tackle it." A prison source said they were working with police to catch those responsible. The Poppies: Weeping Window installation has adorned the steps of St George's Hall since November and ends on Sunday. A larger display of the poppies was on show at The Tower of London in 2014. Created by artists Paul Cummins and Tom Piper, the original artwork marked 100 years since the start of World War One. The Weeping Window display was installed in Liverpool just before Remembrance Sunday and had attracted 301,500 visitors by the end of 2015. The Liverpool Welsh Choral Union will sing at the site at 14:00 GMT on Sunday, before the exhibition is closed with a performance from a bugler from the Band of the Duke of Lancaster at about 16:45. Councillor Wendy Simon, assistant mayor and cabinet member for culture, tourism and events, said: "These poppies will have been part of the city's fabric for 72 days and the reaction to the stunning work has been overwhelming to say the least. "We bid to host the poppies six months ago as St George's Hall would be the perfect venue for the installation with its World War One connections, and as with all our events, we knew that as usual, the people of Liverpool would come out in their thousands to show support for the thought-provoking piece of work. "But we didn't expect the response we've had, and it makes me massively proud to know so many people have taken the time to visit." The winner of the award is decided by players across the football leagues and the Women's Super League who all have a chance to cast a vote. This season Mahrez has helped to put his team at the top of the league, scoring 17 goals and making 11 assists in 34 games, Mahrez and his team mates arrived at the ceremony in style when a helicopter brought them straight to the awards from their impressive 4-0 victory over Swansea City. Mahrez was up against some top players, including his team mate Jamie Vardy, who set a new Premier League record scoring in 11 consecutive league matches. He said to reporters that it felt great to be the first African player to win the award but that he didn't think it made him the best African player. Other winners on the awards night were, Sunderland striker Beth Mead who won 'Womens Young Player of the Year' and Dele Alli of MK Dons who was also named 'Young Player of the Year'. To get an overview of what they faced, disaster response coordinators needed satellite imagery, and the first picture to come in was acquired by a British-built, Nigerian-owned platform. NigeriaSat-1 captured a wide-area image showing where the New Orleans levee system had been overtopped or breached. It laid bare the extent of the flooding in the city and all along the coastline. NigeriaSat-1, which worked up until 2012, was part of the Disaster Monitoring Constellation of Earth-imaging spacecraft managed and operated from Guildford in southern England. And one of the constellation's current members, called DMC-2, has been back to Louisiana and the Gulf region in recent days to take another picture to mark the 10th anniversary of Katrina. At the resolution permitted on this page, the devastation may not be immediately obvious, but follow the path of the Mississippi River and you can begin to see where the red colour in the 2005 view literally turns a muddy shade, as compared with the 2015 perspective. This is St Bernard Parish, which was hit hard by the storm surge associated with the hurricane. It is apparent also that the marshes beyond were severely inundated. The "false" red is traditionally used to colour near-infrared wavelengths in which vegetation stands out particularly well in orbital photos. Hurricane Katrina was the one of deadliest hurricanes to strike the United States in recent times. More than 1,800 people are thought to have lost their lives, and the cost of the damage exceeded $100bn. Satellites are an invaluable tool in the wake of major natural disasters, be they cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or even bush and forest fires. Their imagery provides important context for those trying to manage the response to the emergency, and will influence decisions on how best to move resources, such as medical supplies and logistics support, into a trouble spot. The NigeriaSat-1 spacecraft was a compact imager weighing about 100kg. Built by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd for the African nation, the platform provided multispectral (colour) pictures at a ground resolution of 32m per pixel, in a broad swath some 600km across. UK-DMC2, also assembled by SSTL and launched in 2009, is very similar in size, but has a slightly better resolution, at 22m per pixel. [email protected] and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos The U's saw their League One play-off hopes dented in a 3-1 defeat by Fleetwood on Wednesday following their EFL Trophy final loss to Coventry. "We've got to make sure we bounce back and end the season on a high," Ruffells told BBC Radio Oxford. Oxford are seven points off the play-offs with five games still to play. "It's all about the performances from now on and making sure the gaffer knows we're good enough to stay in the side," Ruffells added, after making six appearances in the space of 19 days for the club. "It's been a difficult and disappointing few days for the club. I thought we gave a good account ourselves (against Fleetwood) and bounced back well from Sunday. "I don't think they caused us too many problems and it's disappointing really." The attack happened in Sanban, about 100km (60 miles) south-east of the capital, Sanaa, witnesses said. It was not clear who was behind the attack but a Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out air raids against Houthi rebels. Last month an air strike on a wedding party near the Red Sea port of Mocha killed at least 130 people. The coalition denied it was responsible for that attack. The latest incident was said to have struck a wedding party being hosted by a tribal leader who is known to support the Houthi rebels. At least 25 people were reported to have been wounded. About 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. An estimated 21 million people - or 80% of the population - require some form of humanitarian assistance and almost 1.5 million people are internally displaced. The Houthis - northern Shia Muslim rebels - backed by forces loyal to Yemen's previous President Ali Abdullah Saleh, forced the government into exile in March. Yemen's UN-recognised President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi returned to the southern port city of Aden last month, where his government has set up a temporary base. His forces, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, are pressing north towards rebel-held Sanaa. The Next Einstein Forum wants to turn Africa into a global hub for science and technology by bringing the continent's top brains together with investors and policymakers. As part of their quest to ensure the next Einstein comes from the continent, young African scientists were asked to come up with innovations that could "solve a big problem for humanity". No pressure, then. Here is a summary of the top three ideas, as chosen by the NEF's panel of expert judges. Innovation: Medical drone network Mr Bangura wants to use a fleet of electrically powered drones, which could be used to deliver treatment to patients in hard-to-reach areas. The unmanned aerial vehicles could serve a double purpose, both delivering essentials like medicine or emergency fluids, and also taking away blood or other samples for testing. The drones would be able to bypass traffic congestion, a major problem in many African cities, as well as reach rural areas with poor road networks. They would be able to fly with an 8kg (17lb) payload for 40 minutes, covering a radius of 40km (25 miles). "We believe that the geographical location of someone cannot determine whether they receive an available life-saving drug," Mr Bangura says. Innovation: Transforming rubbish into building materials Mr Thiam's plan is take plastic waste, the build-up of which is a massive problem for so many cities across the continent, and turn it into something that can be used for the public good, such as building roads or pavements. Many of the plastics that end up in African landfills or clog up urban drainage systems take more than 100 years to biodegrade naturally. The project would build on existing research showing that plastic waste can be used to create materials that act as a substitute or part-substitute for cement, when combined with sand and gravel. "[The innovation would lead to] a healthier environment, with a reduction in both pollution and the cost of building materials," Mr Thiam says. Innovation: Mobile health information service for mothers Ms Mukasa's idea, named Afya Mama, is to use mobile phones to provide women with better information about health issues surrounding pregnancy, immunisation, family planning and HIV/Aids. Pregnant women, healthcare workers and others would get health advice by SMS, or by making a phone call and selecting pre-recorded audio content. The messages could be pre-recorded in any language and selected using Interactive Voice Response technology, meaning the service could cover the more than 40 ethnic dialects in Kenya. "Our objective is to consistently sensitise mothers with information on healthcare and best practices, linking them up with an expert in the case of emergency," Ms Mukasa says.

Northeast, who made 191 in the first innings, was 70 not out with Kent 238-3 when rain ended the game as a draw. Having resumed 163 behind on 32-0, Kent never looked in danger of collapse despite the early loss of Sean Dickson. Tom Latham (74) and Joe Denly (64) added 103 and Denly then put on 93 with Northeast, who hit nine fours. Kent took 10 points from the game to go four points clear of Essex at the top, but having played a game more. Derbyshire, for whom Ben Cotton, Wayne Madsen and Neil Broom each took a wicket, have still to win a match this summer and are seventh in the table.

Kent moved to the top of Division Two despite skipper Sam Northeast being denied the chance of a century in each innings against Derbyshire.

The Scottish Retail Consortium (SRC) said footfall in August was 1.8% higher than the same period last year. The figure was in sharp contrast with the UK as a whole, which saw shopper numbers fall by 1.1%. The latest SRC/Springboard monitor found that out-of-town locations north of the border were the biggest draw, with a 4.1% rise in footfall. Numbers were also up on the high streets and in shopping centres. Northern Ireland was the only area to record a larger percentage increase than Scotland, with a rise of 4.2%. Most of the rest of the UK saw footfall figures slip. Retail experts described the latest Scottish data as "extremely positive". SRC director David Lonsdale said: "This is a further favourable set of results. "For the second month in a row the number of shoppers visiting Scotland's high streets and shopping centres is above the level witnessed during the same period last year. "Footfall has risen for four of the last five months, though this doesn't always necessarily translate into increased levels of actual sales." The Spitfires, who took Championship Bolton to an FA Cup third-round replay, are without a win in nine games. And Tuesday's National League defeat by bottom-placed Kidderminster saw Eastleigh concede three goals for the second match in succession. "It's not good enough," Todd told BBC Radio Solent. "Defensively, we were very, very poor and have to be better." Eastleigh gave a debut to striker Matt Tubbs, who had earlier agreed a loan move from Portsmouth until the end of the season. He did not get on the scoresheet and two goals from strike partner James Constable could not salvage a draw for Todd's side. "I can't keep saying it, actions speak louder than words and we're deflated," the manager added. "We have to pick ourselves up with the games we have left this season. We can't keep going out in games on a whimper." The 53-year-old from Ashford, Kent, collided with a Seat Ibiza on the B2096 near Netherfield at about midday on Sunday. He was travelling towards Battle with three other motorcyclists at the time of the crash. Sussex Police said the man riding a Kawaski ZX-6R sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Seat, a 30-year-old woman from Sedlescombe, was uninjured in the incident. Police said a 36-year-old man had been detained in police custody and charged with firearms offences. It follows a planned operation by the officers at Whitehill Court in Dennistoun at about 19:20 on Thursday. The man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Saturday and a report has been sent to the procurator fiscal. In a statement, Police Scotland said: "About 7.20pm last night officers searched a house in Whitehill Court, Dennistoun, as part of a planned operation. "As a result, a 36-year-old man has been arrested and detained in police custody with alleged firearms offences. A report has been sent to the procurator fiscal." Speaking to Barron's, he said he had "always been an investment guy" and the "hiring, paying people, planning and so on" became a problem for him. Mr Gross told the financial magazine that "managing money is in my blood". The co-founder of Pimco left abruptly last week to join rival Janus Capital. It has been reported that he was at odds with the executive committee of Pimco, the world's largest bond fund, which is owned by the German insurer Allianz. In his interview, Mr Gross says he's grateful to Janus's chief executive for "putting this [job opportunity] together so quickly, in a matter of 24 to 48 hours at most, and I don't intend to disappoint". While at Pimco, Mr Gross was seen as a key figure, and since his departure investors have withdrawn record amounts of money. The Total Return bond fund, which was managed by Mr Gross, lost more than 10% of its assets in September. "I like to get up at 5:30 in the morning and make money for clients and compete against other money managers. That's something that doesn't go away. "I am obsessed with delivering value to investors and winning the game from a personal standpoint. Retiring at this point in my career just doesn't suit me," he states in the Barron's interview. He has been given control of a much smaller fund at Janus, worth $13 million (£8m), in which he says it will be easier to implement ideas than in the $200bn (£125bn) portfolio he used to run. "The bond paparazzi will be less interested in Janus than they were in Total Return," he says. Asked where he sees bond investment opportunities at the moment, he points to Mexico, saying it is "a pretty safe emerging market," with half the debt level of the US and interest rates around 6%. Mr Murphy, tasked with getting more Welsh children into Oxford and Cambridge universities, partly blamed a lack of ambition among teachers. The number of pupils accepted into Oxbridge is falling. The Torfaen MP has also said he is worried the Welsh Baccalaureate might be a barrier. Mr Murphy, who was appointed in the Oxbridge ambassador role by the Welsh government last month, said he believed fewer teachers in Wales had been to Oxford and Cambridge compared to 40 years ago so had less knowledge about getting pupils in. "I'm sure there's lots of youngsters who would like to go but don't know how to go about it," he said. "It's getting rid of the fear of the perceived elitism when they go there. "Unless we up the pressure on schools and colleges in Wales to do this, then it's not going to do anything about it." NUT Cymru Secretary David Evans said: "I think that every teacher wants to do the best by their pupils in all circumstances. And certainly, from my experience, teachers actually do encourage pupils who they think might be able to go to Oxford or Cambridge to apply." One head teacher in Wales, who did not want to be identified, told BBC Wales News website there was little support on offer from the Welsh government for schools trying to get pupils into the very best universities. "We need to make sure our very able students have the abilities to compete on a level playing field," he said. "The Welsh government needs to be ambitious for our students to attend the best universities whether it's Oxford or Cambridge or the USA or growing our own universities." Figures obtained by BBC Wales show the number of comprehensive pupils getting into Oxbridge has fallen from 96 in 2008 to 76 in 2012. Figures also show the number of students from Wales' independent schools have remained stable for the same period - 28 in 2008 to 29 in 2012. Conservative education spokesperson Angela Burns said there needed to be debate as to whether students were being pushed hard enough. "The mood music coming out of Wales for the last couple of years has been pretty disastrous," she said. "We talk about how we've failed in our international rankings, our pupils are consistently at the bottom of the tables. "There may have been improvements but we're dropping behind the rest of the UK and Europe." Mr Murphy has said students from the south Wales valleys are five times less likely to apply to Oxford or Cambridge than students in some of the more affluent English counties. A report from his office a year ago highlighted a series of "challenges" in increasing the number of Welsh students at Oxbridge, including the Welsh Bacc, a qualification introduced about a decade ago to offer a more rounded education. "Discussions with admissions tutors raised concerns with the Welsh Baccalaureate (WBQ)," said the report. Questions had been raised over the quality and value of some WBQ components. In fact, Oxford's undergraduate admissions director said it could put Welsh pupils at a disadvantage. This is because prospective Oxford and Cambridge University students are usually expected to have studied three subjects at A-level. However, many Welsh students doing the WBQ - compulsory in many schools - will only do two A-levels. "I think that every teacher wants to do the best by their pupils in all circumstances. "And certainly from my experience, teachers actually do encourage pupils who they think might be able to go to Oxford or Cambridge to apply. "Certainly, over the years, we've seen that application process go ahead. "Back in my day, more than 30-odd years ago when I went to university, I remember certain pupils being approached and encouraged to apply to go to university." A recent report by Cardiff University suggested university students who studied the WBQ were less likely to get higher degrees than those who did not. But the lack of Welsh state school pupils in Oxbridge and other top universities cannot simply be put down to the WBQ. Dr Julia Paolitto, admissions and educational policy press officer for Oxford, said there were a number of factors, including a reluctance by some schools to encourage pupils to leave Wales, particularly Welsh medium schools. The universities also pointed to exam results, which both said were arguably the biggest barrier. This was also raised in Mr Murphy's report which said the Welsh government was trying to improve standards but that "provision for talented students is lacking". "Further it has been reported that some students are often 'coached' to a C-grade at AS and A-level rather than attempting to produce higher quality answers," it said. Unions deny teachers are not encouraging pupils enough. NUT Cymru Secretary David Evans said: "I think that every teacher wants to do the best by their pupils in all circumstances. "And certainly from my experience, teachers actually do encourage pupils who they think might be able to go to Oxford or Cambridge to apply." The Welsh government said it wanted young people to aim high and that was why Mr Murphy had been appointed as Oxbridge ambassador. He will be "a champion for Wales in opening doors to Oxbridge and ensuring that Oxbridge opportunities are not lost to those of our young people who would be best served by such a route". The spokesperson added: "Following our recent review of qualifications we are in the process of revising our Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification to add rigour and ensure that is robust and fit for purpose. "The review found broad support for the Welsh Baccalaureate, whilst also noting areas for strengthening the qualification." Both Oxford and Cambridge say they have been working hard to attract Welsh pupils. Both universities held a joint conference in Swansea last month. Some 1,260 pupils booked to attend with almost 80% from state schools. Susan McLean, 61, was last seen in Aberfeldy on 17 May. The remains were found by a volunteer searchers in a wooded area near the town on Saturday. Police Scotland said the death was being treated as "unexplained". Ms McLean's family have been informed and a formal identification will take place later. The last suspected sighting of the tourist was on CCTV footage on Crieff Road outside the grounds of Moness Resort on the evening of her disappearance. She had been on a two-week tour of Scotland with her family. Supt Graeme Murdoch, of Police Scotland, said: "On Saturday 15 August, human remains were found during a volunteer search in dense undergrowth in a wooded area near Aberfeldy. "A police investigation has been ongoing following the disappearance of Susan McLean. "The family has been informed of the discovery and formal identification will take place in due course. "The death is being treated as unexplained and as with all sudden deaths a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal." He added: "We would like to thank members of the public who have given up their time and continued to assist the search." Since December, poultry has had to be kept indoors under government orders to prevent the spread of the disease. Under European Union rules, if birds have been housed for more than 12 weeks they cannot be marketed as free range. Farmers said the eggs would still look, taste and cost the same, despite the temporary re-labelling. They pose no danger to consumers, but bird flu is highly contagious amongst poultry and can wipe out entire flocks. It has been 12 weeks since governments in England, Scotland and Wales ordered poultry keepers to protect their birds from a highly-infectious strain of avian flu in Europe. The emergency measures are now being scaled back, but many farmers are keeping their hens indoors for the birds' protection. To avoid confusion, the industry has decided to label free-range egg cartons with stickers stating the contents were "laid by hens temporarily housed in barns for their welfare". They started appearing on shelves last week, but will be rolled out fully on Wednesday. "The need to change labelling of free-range egg packs after 12 weeks is an EU requirement," said Mark Williams, chief executive of the British Egg Industry Council. "However, these are all still free-range hens, but some are temporarily housed to protect them from bird flu." Mr Williams said: "Our research shows that consumers are supportive of farmers putting birds' health first and 80% are happy to continue to pay the same price, or more, for eggs from free-range flocks temporarily housed inside." There are four different types of eggs sold in the UK, all of which are stamped on the carton: organic, free-range, barn-reared, and caged. Hens laying free-range eggs must have had unlimited daytime access to runs - fenced areas - with vegetation and at least 4 sq m of outside space per bird. After weeks of being kept indoors, farmers would love nothing better than to let their birds back outside. But it's a difficult balancing act. Get it wrong and a farmer could end up having his or her entire flock destroyed. So the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC) has taken the unprecedented step of labelling all commercial boxes of free-range eggs - whether hens are in or out - in order to create a level playing field for all farmers. Farmers say the label is just a technicality in any case as the hens are still free-range, just temporarily housed to protect them from bird flu. They hope consumers will be supportive, given that prices, for now, are staying the same. But it's not an open-ended guarantee and they will all be hoping that things get back to normal by the end of April. The UK has the largest free-range flock in Europe - and farmers are trying hard to help the birds adapt to the new routine, according to BEIC. Some are using footballs, plastic bottles and straw bales to stop the birds - which can normally peck whatever they want outside - from getting bored. The hens also have continuous access to feed and water, and are already used to spending time inside because they go there at night, the BEIC points out. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the majority of farmers in England could let birds outside provided they follow "strict disease prevention measures". "Producers in the higher risk areas could still market their eggs as free-range, provided they use netting and meet other free-range criteria," a Defra spokesperson said. However, farmers pointed out that the average flock would require eight football pitches worth of netting, making it impractical and costly. The BEIC said "continuing outbreaks of avian influenza across the UK and Europe" meant egg producers and their veterinary advisers remained concerned about the risk. The government is due to review the restrictions again at the end of April, when farmers hope the risk will be lower because many wild birds will have migrated. Murray, 31, had reached the last eight for the first time but he and Soares went down 3-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4) to Santiago Gonzalez of Mexico and Donald Young of the United States. "We had our chance, didn't take it and it came back to haunt us," Murray said. "We should have won, we should have found a way to get through it." He added: "It was a big opportunity, a lot of guys had lost and it was pretty open." In 2016, Murray and Soares won the Australian and US Open doubles titles.

Sweden's highest musical honour is awarded annually to both a pop performer and classical artist. The pair will each receive one million kronor (£98,600) from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music. King Carl XVI Gustaf will present them with their awards at a Stockholm ceremony on 27 August. The prize is awarded for "exceptional achievements in the creation and advancement of music". The academy recognised Ndour as "not just a singer, but a storyteller, poet, singer of praise, entertainer and verbal historian". "With his exceptionally exuberant band Super Etoile de Dakar and his musically ground breaking and political solo albums, Youssou Ndour has worked to reduce animosities between his own religion, Islam, and other religions," it said. "His voice encompasses an entire continent's history and future, blood and love, dreams and power." He was last year appointed Senegal's minister of tourism. He also owns an influential media group, a night club and a music studio. Saariaho, who has written chamber music, orchestral works and operas, was praised as "a modern maestro who opens up our ears and causes their anvils and stirrups to fall in love". The prize was founded in 1989 by Stig Anderson, the manager of Swedish pop group ABBA. Last year's winners were US singer Paul Simon and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Other previous winners include Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Bjork and Patti Smith. Yeats died in France in 1939 and he had asked to be buried in a temporary grave before being repatriated to Ireland. But after the outbreak of World War Two repatriation was delayed until 1948. The Irish Times has reported that newly discovered French documents suggest Yeats's remains were mixed up with the bones of others before the exhumation. The newspaper said the details are contained in personal correspondence between French diplomats who were involved in the repatriation, which was handed over to the Irish Embassy in Paris last month. The poet's official grave is in Drumcliffe Parish Church cemetery in County Sligo and the site has become both a shrine and a tourist attraction. The headstone is inscribed with the poet's famous self-penned epitaph: "Cast a cold eye on life, on death, horseman, pass by." Yeats, who had strong family links to County Sligo, had asked to be reinterred in Drumcliff when press interest in his death had subsided. The poet instructed his wife: "In a year's time when the newspapers have forgotten me, dig me up and plant me in Sligo." But his widow faced legal and technical problems sorting out the repatriation during WW2 and at some point during this period it is believed the poet's remains were moved from his original grave in Roquebrune, southern France. After negotiations and assistance from the French governments, skeletal remains were exhumed from Roquebrune in 1948 and brought to Sligo by the Irish Naval Service. Doubts about the authenticity of the bones have been in the public domain for many years, but the recently discovered diplomatic correspondence sheds new light on the difficulty of the identification process during the exhumation. The Irish Times reported that the documents were found in the personal papers of the former French foreign ministry official, Jacques Camille Paris, who later became the first Secretary General of the Council of Europe. The newspaper said the diplomat's son, Daniel Paris, "turned the documents over to the Irish Embassy in Paris in a discreet ceremony last month". The poet's closest surviving relative, his granddaughter Caitriona Yeats, would not comment on the report but she pointed to a letter written by his children, Anne and Michael Yeats in 1988, in response to earlier controversy over the remains. In that letter, the Yeats family said they were "satisfied beyond doubt that our father's body is indeed buried in Drumcliff Cemetery". Almost two in five of 2,000 UK adults surveyed for the charity did not know Portuguese was the official language of host country Brazil. More than one in 10 said the language was "Brazilian", while one in five thought it was Spanish. Portuguese is not widely taught in UK schools but will be crucial to future trade deals, says the British Council. Previous research by the UK's international cultural and educational organisation identified Portuguese as the sixth most important language "for the UK's prosperity, security and influence in the world over the next 20 years". That report called for a wider range of languages to be taught in schools, based on analysis of global economic, political and educational factors. Currently, less than 1% of the UK population can speak Portuguese, says the council. In 2015 just 2,932 students took Portuguese GCSE compared with 168,402 who took French and 93,028 Spanish, it adds. Source: British Council The survey is part of the British Council's 2016 campaign for more UK adults to take language lessons, following a general decline in language learning at both school and university level. The campaign urges people to boost their skills in languages such as French, Spanish or German, which are traditionally taught in schools, as well as others on the list such as Arabic, Mandarin Chinese and Portuguese. "Portuguese is a hugely important language for the UK both now and in the future," said Mark Herbert, British Council head of schools programmes. "With the eyes of the world on Rio this summer, we have the perfect opportunity to learn more about this fascinating part of the world and to try out some Portuguese along the way. "Ultimately, having more of us being able to speak at least a little of a foreign language is good for the UK's long-term competitiveness in the increasingly connected world." The survey was carried out by Populus among a weighted sample of 2,152 UK adults. McIlroy moved to Nike on a multi-million dollar deal in 2013 which included golf equipment and apparel. The company announced last August that it would no longer produce clubs, balls and bags but instead concentrate on golf clothing and footwear. "I'm really happy to continue this journey with Nike," said McIlroy, 27. "I've loved this company since I was a kid." In a further tweet, McIlroy said that he was "looking forward to the next 10 plus years as a Nike athlete". McIlroy will aim to complete the career Grand Slam at this week's Masters in Augusta. The 21-year-old has the qualification time for the World Championships in London (August 4-13). But Omoregie needs to finish in the top two at the Alexander Stadium to rubber-stamp his selection. "It's about making sure I finish in the top two and guarantee selection," said Omoregie. Andrew Pozzi and David King also have the qualification times, so Omoregie knows the competition for places will be fierce. "I am in a good place having run the times and know I just need to focus on the result and confirm my selection," Omoregie added. There is a third discretionary place available for the selectors but Omoregie does not want to rely on that. The Cardiff hurdler missed out on Olympics selection last summer having run the qualification standards too late. "Since missing out on Rio, my mind has been 100 per cent focused on London through the winter," said Omoregie. "I don't know how many more times I will be able to compete in a world event in my own country. "So I just want to get on the team and ensure I make the most of the experience." Welsh duo Josh Griffiths (marathon) and Bethan Davies (20km walk) have already booked their World Championship places in London. There was a second place finish for Gareth Winter in the shot putt on the opening day of competition in Birmingham on Saturday. Discus thrower Brett Morse, Commonwealth Games silver medal pole vaulter Sally Peake and 3,000m steeplechaser Ieuan Thomas all finished third in their events.

Just about every day this week Elon Musk has been making news, On Thursday there was another landmark for his Space X business when it launched a recycled rocket and then landed the booster for a second time on an ocean platform. If the most expensive part of a rocket can be used more than once, that could transform the economics of space travel and the satellite industry. Earlier in the week, news emerged of yet another new Musk venture with the aim of augmenting the human brain with computer technology. Neuralink, which is in its very early stages, plans to implant tiny electrodes into the brain in an attempt to treat various disorders. And then there were more developments at his Tesla electric car business which has now attracted an investment from the Chinese tech giant Tencent. It has bought around 5% of the company's shares - and that helped propel the valuation of Tesla to around the same level as that of the Ford motor company. To put that in context, Ford has been around for 113 years and made more than 3 million cars last year, while Tesla is just 14 years old and made 84,000 cars in 2016. We talk to the electric car analyst and long-term Musk watcher Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield on the programme. She says the market is valuing Tesla so highly because it sees it as a Silicon Valley software firm rather than a carmaker. Investors veer between faith in Elon Musk's vision - and fear that it could all come tumbling down. Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield says Musk has teetered on the edge of disaster many times in his career but has always been willing to bet big on his ideas, "It is the stuff of science fiction - he's willing to take those risks". It's also been a big week for Samsung. For the world's biggest mobile-phone-maker it has - to say the least - been a trying few months. First the Samsung Note 7 had to be withdrawn after it showed a tendency to overheat and catch fire, then the firm's boss was arrested and charged with corruption in a bribery scandal which has rocked the South Korean government. So a lot was riding on the launch of its new flagship smartphone, described by one analyst as its most important device in a decade. In the event, the Galaxy S8, with its infinity screen and its Bixby AI assistant, got some pretty positive reviews. It is also worth noting that amid all the turmoil of recent months, the Samsung share price has sailed on to record highs. The company's investors seem convinced by the underlying strengths of a business which, as well as making its own high-end devices, makes components for other leading smartphones. We discuss with the leading gadget pundit Jonathan Margolis whether the brand has recovered from any damage caused by the Note 7 fiasco. This feels like a key moment in the development of the games industry. The smartphone revolution introduced a whole new audience to games - and allowed a new wave of bedroom developers to compete on a more level playing field with the giants. Now another new technology virtual reality has come along to shake things up again, with billions invested in a new vision of how we will experience games. We went to an event called Rezzed - part of the London Games Festival - to take the temperature of the industry. And there we ran into a gaming legend, Ken Levine, the creator of the Bioshock series. For all the talk of VR and other innovations he's convinced that something rather old-fashioned, storytelling, is at the heart of what makes a successful game. "I come from a writing background so character and setting have always been most important to me." He says that's important to gamers too: "They want stories, they want characters but they also want a world they can participate in." As for virtual reality, he says he's tried it and been knocked out by it - but isn't convinced it's quite there as a gaming experience yet. "These things take time to get right, I don't know as a gaming platform whether it's there yet." Ken Levine says augmented reality has already had a killer app in the form of Pokemon Go but VR is still waiting for that. He is now at work on a new game, and there are few details yet on what form it will take - but one thing it won't be is a virtual reality experience. The vehicle has now driven 289m (950ft) since its landing on the Red Planet some six weeks ago. It has perhaps another 200m still left to cover to get to a location dubbed Glenelg, where researchers expect to find an interesting juxtaposition of three types of geological terrain. But before it goes any further, the rover will study a dark rock. Measuring about 25cm in height and 40cm at the base, it is not expected to have major science value. Rather, the rock provides an opportunity for the robot to use three of its survey instruments in tandem for the first time. The rock has been named "Jake Matijevic" in honour of a Curiosity engineer who tragically died shortly after the vehicle touched down in Mars' Gale Crater on 6 August (GMT). The rover will zap the rock from a distance with its ChemCam laser and examine it up close with its X-ray spectrometer, known as APXS. The latter device is held on the end of the rover's robotic arm; the laser is mounted on its mast. The investigation will give a good idea of the atoms present in the Matijevic rock and its likely mineralogical composition - although the Curiosity science team fully expects to "discover" another ubiquitous lump of Martian basalt (a volcanic rock). "It's a cool looking rock with almost pure pyramidal geometry," said Prof John Grotzinger, the mission's lead scientist. Such a shape was not uncommon, he explained, and probably reflected wind erosion processes. "Our general consensus view is that these are pieces of impact ejecta from an impact somewhere else, maybe outside of Gale Crater, that throws a rock on to the plains, and it just goes on to sit here for a long period of time. It weathers more slowly than the stuff that's around it. So, that means it's probably a harder rock." Source: BBC Science Watch Mariner find giant volcanoes on Mars Could the Red Planet support human life? The point of the upcoming exercise is to demonstrate the procedure for selecting targets of higher importance - rocks that in future could have significantly more scientific interest and which might require a sample to be drilled and delivered to two sophisticated analysis labs inside the rover's body. In a briefing with journalists on Wednesday, the US space agency (Nasa) also released pictures taken by the rover of the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos passing in front of the sun. These transits are relatively rare - twice per Martian year, which is once every Earth year - but are of great interest to scientists trying to understand the internal make-up of the Red Planet. "[The moons] have tidal forces that they exert on Mars; they change Mars' shape ever so slightly," explained Curiosity researcher Mark Lemmon from Texas A&M University, College Station. "That in turn changes the moons' orbits - Phobos is slowing down, Deimos is speeding up (like our Moon is). This is something that is happening very slowly over time. "And with the transits, we can measure their orbits very precisely and figure out how fast they're doing this. The reason that's interesting is because it constrains Mars' interior structure. We can't go inside Mars but we can use these transits to tell how much Mars deforms when the moons go by." Curiosity has now spent 43 sols (Martian days) on the planet. Much of that time has been spent commissioning the rover's systems and instruments. The vehicle was sent to Mars to try to understand whether past environments at its landing location in Gale Crater could ever have supported microbial life. That question will more properly be addressed when it gets to the base of the big mountain (Mount Sharp) that dominates the centre of the 150km-wide equatorial depression. Sediments at the lower reaches of the peak appear from satellite pictures to have been laid down in the presence of abundant water. Curiosity will establish whether that is so, but it is unlikely to begin this particular investigation for many months. The mountain target lies several km to the south-west of its current location, and the desire to see the interesting rocks at Glenelg is actually taking the vehicle in the opposite direction to Mount Sharp. The science team is in no hurry, however. Curiosity is equipped with a nuclear battery and has ample power to complete its prime two-year mission. Further funding from Nasa could yet see this project drive and drive deep into the decade. [email protected] and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos Paul and Debbie Lawton, from the seaside town of Withernsea in East Yorkshire, scooped £6.9m in Saturday's draw. The couple look after their eldest daughter Tracey who has cerebral palsy. Long-distance lorry driver Mr Lawton, 56, said they planned to buy a large, specially adapted bungalow. "It will enrich her life so much and that's the most important thing on the agenda," said Mr Lawton. "Then we can look after Nicola and her husband and our wonderful three grandchildren, along with Deborah and her partner, who are expecting their first baby later this year." Mr Lawton bought the winning ticket after popping into a shop to get a snack while on a driving job. It was not until Sunday morning after he had helped Tracey get dressed that he got round to checking the numbers, while his wife was at work. He said: "'One...two...oh, I've matched three numbers,' I thought. Then four, five and six matched too, so I checked them again, then I double-checked the date, and then I think I sat down in the armchair. "I'm generally quite a calm person so didn't get too excited at this point but instead called Deborah at work and asked her to come home for 10 minutes." Mrs Lawton calmly went back to finish her shift at a care home after checking the winning ticket. The couple's other daughters came round in the afternoon and were told about the win, sparking a celebration party. The monthly attendances at all emergency care departments increased by 2,426 (4%), from 60,772 to 63,198. There was a slight increase in the proportion of patients attending type one emergency care who were seen within four hours. This figure rose from 70.1% to 74.4%. The Department of Health said the number of patients waiting longer than 12 hours was still disappointing and that "although this represents less than 1% of the total number of people who attend emergency departments, we expect the HSC Board and trusts to do all they can to work to eliminate all avoidable 12-hour waits". "The minister continues to pay tribute to the exceptional work of staff in continuing to meet the challenges of providing unscheduled care services," a spokesperson added. "It is important that the whole system works together to support patient care, this includes GPs, ambulance service, community care teams as well as those staff who work in acute hospitals. "The minister continues to encourage everyone to use urgent and emergency care services appropriately to avoid adding pressure on to an already busy system." "I am begging Macedonia to let us in," said a young Syrian man as he queued at the border gate. He had been standing in the rain for hours. The wire-mesh gate that every migrant and refugee has to pass through has been closed on the Macedonian side for much of the last 24 hours. Authorities at the camp said this was because the next national frontier on the trail, the Macedonia-Serbia border, had been closed. Macedonia will not let anyone across its southern border until the one in the north reopens. It's a classic domino effect. The process of moving Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans through Greece has been a well-oiled machine. Buses have been leaving around the clock from Athens to take them to the border with Macedonia. But the system is now creaking at the edges. There was trouble at the crossing on Tuesday as a new policy blocking Afghan nationals from proceeding led to dozens of Afghans cutting through the border fence and storming into Macedonia. Riot police were deployed and calm was eventually restored. Reports suggest Afghans were then bussed south as far as Athens. Moving on the migrant trail, but in the wrong direction. At the camp on Wednesday, aid workers said some Afghans had fled into the surrounding countryside rather than get on one of the buses. They plan to hide out in the hope that restrictions will be lifted. And the banning of Afghans from proceeding northwards has made Iraqis and Syrians nervous. Will they be the next nationality to be stopped? Gemma Gillie is a softly spoken Scot from the Borders. She is based at the camp as a spokeswoman for Medecins Sans Frontieres and says all migrants at the camp are worried about progressing. "The restrictions for Afghans were applied so abruptly, there's a real feeling among Syrians and Iraqis that any point it could be them as well," she says. "And the new restrictions have also meant that Iraqis and Syrians, in addition to registration paperwork, now need to have an ID document. Many of these people literally fled with the clothes on their back, so many don't have that and are anxious that they won't be able to cross." She also fears that Greece lacks the capacity to cope with the number of stranded people, and that thousands of people will be left without adequate shelter, clean water or food. So what is being done by those in charge? Austria chaired a meeting of ministers from western Balkan states on Wednesday, much to the annoyance of Greece, which wasn't invited. They agreed that the influx of migrants and refugees had to be "substantially reduced" and that anyone "not in need of international protection" would be turned away. The underlying concern now is that border gates through the Balkans will start slamming shut, creating a new humanitarian crisis in Greece. The book, published in 2001, was originally billed as one of Harry Potter's Hogwarts textbooks. Warner Bros chief Kevin Tsujihara persuaded author Rowling to adapt the book for the big screen. Last week, he told the New York Times there would be a trilogy of films based on the book, which follows a "magizoologist" named Newt Scamander. Scamander is the author of a guide to magical creatures. Set in New York, the book is neither a sequel nor a prequel, but an "extension" of Harry Potter's "wizarding world", Rowling said. Last month, Rowling told actress Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, that she completed the draft script in 12 days. Rowling herself told the newspaper that it was Tsujihara - who took over the role of CEO at Warner Bros last year - who persuaded her to adapt the book. "We had one dinner, a follow-up telephone call, and then I got out the rough draft that I'd thought was going to be an interesting bit of memorabilia for my kids and started rewriting," she told the New York Times. "When Kevin got the top job, he brought a new energy, which rubbed off. He's a very engaging person, thoughtful and funny." The project, which was first announced in September 2013, will be produced by Harry Potter regular David Heyman, whose recent successes include Gravity. "I always said that I would only revisit the wizarding world if I had an idea that I was really excited about and this is it," said Rowling when the film was announced last year. The book was written by Rowling between the publication of the fourth and the fifth books in the Harry Potter series. It is set 70 years before we first meet Harry. More than 450 million copies of Rowling's seven Potter books have been sold worldwide. Aside from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, she also wrote the short book Quidditch Through the Ages - another of Harry's schoolbooks. They were published in aid of Comic Relief. Another Potter spin-off book, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, followed in December 2008. "Barack Obama lifts America one last time," says the website of the UK's Guardian, and its reporter admits that she, and many in the audience were "in tears". "A fiery plea for democracy" is German public broadcaster ARD's assessment of the speech. The UK's Daily Telegraph highlights Mr Obama's "urgent and fearful warning" about the state of American democracy. But the paper offers criticism of his legacy in terms of the UK, with a commentary declaring his departure an opportunity for "Britain and America to rebuild the special relationship" under Donald Trump. A commentator in Germany's Die Welt finds Mr Obama's political achievements meagre and his foreign policy record even "catastrophic", accusing him of being too timid on Iran, Russia and Syria. But "we will still miss Barack Obama", he adds - for his style, sense of humour and as a symbol of the hope that the US might still pull itself out of the "moral swamp of racism". India's Hindustan Times strikes a similar note, but is more critical, especially on Mr Obama's perceived policy failings over Pakistan, Iran and Cuba. "We will miss Obama for a while," it concedes. "But his misses, and their consequences, will be with us for a long, long time." A commentator in the English-language Saudi paper Arab News says Mr Obama leaves a world "bitterly divided", and adds that his "untidy withdrawal" from the Middle East and lack of decisiveness on Syria strengthened Iran and frustrated the US's allies in the region. "It is fair to say that the world, and much of the US, is disappointed with Obama," he concludes. Spain's La Razon sees in Mr Obama a "man trampled by reality", whose initial idealism was replaced by the need to take the "same decisions that he rejected in his predecessors". The harshest and most unequivocal criticism of Mr Obama's legacy comes from Russia's pro-Kremlin media. "Obama will be remembered first of all for a complete failure in foreign policy, in particular the Middle East," says a report on Channel One TV. Recalling Mr Obama's original "Yes, we can" campaign slogan, state news channel Rossiya 24 sneers that "in the end it looks more like 'he did what he could'". The channel's US correspondent says Mr Obama's pledge to make the handover of power as smooth as possible "sounds like a cruel joke" in light of the "organised bullying" of Donald Trump. The Kremlin has previously described accusations that it intervened in the US election on Mr Trump's behalf as a "witch-hunt". A more nuanced take comes from China, which has already publicly clashed with Donald Trump. Official Chinese broadcaster CCTV quotes a poll that suggests most Americans feel that Obama "tried but failed" to keep his campaign promises. But at least US relations with Beijing have been "stable" during the past year, the broadcaster says. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

Bolt, 30, sealed the 'triple triple' in Rio, winning his third Olympic title in each of the 100m, 200m and 4x100m. "It's definitely a big deal," said the Jamaican of the award he also won in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Bolt will retire next year, following the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London. Media playback is not supported on this device He added: "When you get to be athlete of the year it means that all the hard work has paid off, so if I can win it for a sixth year means as much as the first one." Ayana, meanwhile, broke a record set 23 years earlier when she clocked 29 minutes 17.45 seconds in Rio. The 25-year-old also won 5,000m bronze, and won the Diamond Race. Canada's Andre de Grasse, the 22-year-old who won 200m silver and 100m bronze in Rio, was named male rising star, while Olympic heptathlon champion Nafissatou Thiam, 22, won the female award. Harry Marra won the IAAF Coaching Achievement Award after guiding Ashton Eaton to a second Olympic decathlon gold and Brianne Theisen Eaton to heptathlon bronze. The UK government has come under fire for ending the "Dubs amendment" scheme in March after taking in 350 children. Ms Sturgeon said the scheme was "the only reliable and legal route" for unaccompanied child refugees. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the scheme "acts as a pull" factor and "encourages people traffickers". The Home Office has insisted it is not giving up on vulnerable children and said youngsters would continue to arrive from around the world through other resettlement schemes and the asylum system. There are an estimated 90,000 unaccompanied migrant children across Europe. The scheme in question was set up as part of an amendment attached to the Immigration Act 2016 by Labour peer and former child refugee Lord Dubs. The government had come under pressure from campaigners and members of the public to take in children from the "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais. The legislation required the Home Office to allow "a specified number" of vulnerable unaccompanied children into the UK. Lord Dubs and his supporters suggested this number could be as high as 3,000, but the government said the 350 children eventually accepted satisfied the "intention and spirit" of the amendment. In a letter to the prime minister, Ms Sturgeon said she found it "hard to understand why the UK government would even consider the inhumane withdrawal of essential routes to safety" for vulnerable children. She said: "The plight of all unaccompanied children demands a resolute and humanitarian approach from all parts of the UK, and other countries, and this departure from the Dubs amendment cuts off a vital route to safety." The first minister said her government supported a number of other UK commitments to taking in refugees, such as the Syrian Resettlement Programme, and said Scotland "stands ready" to help "provide a place of safety to children in the gravest of situations". She added: "I urge you to reverse the shameful decision on the Dubs amendment which cuts off the only reliable and legal route for unaccompanied children arriving from Europe. "We all have a moral duty to do what we can to help those most in need, so I look forward to your earliest response." The UK government announced it would stop taking in children via the Dubs amendment at the end of March in a written statement at Westminster. Immigration minister Robert Goodwill said 200 children had already arrived, and said 150 more would follow before the end of March, filling the available places offered by local authorities. He said that more than 900 children had been brought to the UK from Calais in total in 2016. Speaking in the House of Commons, Ms Rudd said the government had a "clear strategy" and believed it was taking "the right approach". She said: "Here in the UK we have launched the national transfer scheme, and we've also significantly increased funding for local authorities caring for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children by between 20 and 28%. "The government has taken significant steps to improve an already comprehensive approach, and we are providing protection to thousands of children this year. I am proud of this government's active approach to helping and sheltering the most vulnerable, and that is a position which will continue." Addressing the Dubs scheme directly, she added: "I am clear that when working with my French counterparts they do not want us to indefinitely continue to accept children under the Dubs amendment because they specify, and I agree with them, that it acts as a draw. "It acts as a pull. It encourages the people traffickers." Campaigners have sought to challenge the decision in court, saying the consultation process by which Ms Rudd decided on the figure of 350 was "fundamentally flawed". At a preliminary hearing at the High Court in London on Friday, judges said they were "determined" to move the case forward quickly, setting a provision date for a full hearing in May. Justin Tomlinson, MP for Swindon North, faced calls to resign after he shared a draft report with payday lender Wonga. Mr Tomlinson, now minister for disabled people at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), said at the time, in 2013, his judgement had "been clouded". The DWP said he had the confidence of Prime Minister David Cameron. The incident happened when Mr Tomlinson was a member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in May 2013. He gave a confidential draft report on regulating consumer credit to an Wonga employee, who replied with comments and suggested amendments to the draft report. The PAC investigated the matter and, in a report, said Mr Tomlinson's actions "represented a substantial interference with the work of the committee". The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg reported a DWP source had said Mr Tomlinson has also been backed by Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, and would stay in his job. Mr Tomlinson has apologised and accepted he broke the rules. In a letter to the Public Accounts Committee he said he allowed his "judgment to be clouded" by his "strongly-held belief that action needed to be taken on payday lenders". "I also accept that as a new member I should have taken advice about the limits placed on members of parliament during committee inquiries. "Nonetheless, I hope the committee accepts that it was never my intention to interfere with the correct process of publishing a report I fully supported whilst a member and still do today. "I reiterate my unreserved and full apology." The incident has now been referred the matter to parliament's Standards and Privileges Committee. Research conducted by ESPN The Magazine and Sportingintelligence found City pay an average annual wage of £5.3m to its first-team players, which works out as £102,653 per week. Six of the top 10 in the list are football clubs, with baseball (two) and basketball (two) also represented. Premier League clubs Manchester United (8), Chelsea (10), Arsenal (11) and Liverpool (20) are all in the top 20. Manchester City, purchased by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, are reported to pay their players more than Major League Baseball teams New York Yankees and LA Dodgers, who are second and third in the survey. Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona take the next two spots. The La Liga clubs, who face each other in the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday, both pay their first-team players an average of more than £4.9m a year. Premier League champions United have an average wage of £4.3m, while current league leaders Liverpool award £3.4m per man. "The Global Sports Salaries Survey looks solely at earnings for playing sport, not for endorsements or other extra-curricular activities," states the Sportingintelligence website. "The 2014 report considers 294 teams in 15 leagues in 12 countries across seven different sports: football, baseball, basketball, gridiron, cricket, ice hockey and Aussie Rules football. The report looks at numbers from either current or most recently completed seasons, depending on availability of accounts and other information." Although the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls are the only National Basketball Association teams in the top 10, the league is the highest paying with its 441 players each earning an average salary of £2.98m.Manchester City are one of 76 clubs being investigated by Uefa over a possible breach of its Financial Fair Play rules. Manchester City are one of 76 clubs being investigated by Uefa over a possible breach of its Financial Fair Play rules. A decision is expected in the coming days. The 29-year-old Spaniard, who won the Monte Carlo Masters last week, has now won his opening 10 matches of the European clay-court season. Nishikori won this event in 2014 and 2015 but was left to rue a series of missed break-point opportunities. Argentine Vilas won 49 clay-court titles in the 1970s and early 1980s. Nadal has a chance to beat that mark in May as he is set to play in events in Madrid and Rome before he goes for a 10th French Open title at Roland Garros. In Barcelona, he saved seven of eight break chances in the opening set and converted both of the opportunities he got as Nishikori lost a set for the first time in the tournament. Nadal led 4-1 in the second set, but was pegged back to 4-4 before he went on to win the tournament for a ninth time and collect the 69th professional title of his career. "I think I served well which was very important," said the world number five. "The fact I had a good percentage of first serves allowed me to play better. "In the second set I let a lot of opportunities go, but I am very happy to have resisted mentally and happy to win." The 27-year-old is the subject of an internal investigation, the details of which have not been disclosed. In a short statement on their club website, Castleford - who lie fifth in the Super League table - said they would not comment further. Australia-born Carney has scored 63 tries in 62 games since joining the Tigers at the start of 2013, including 18 in Super League this season. Some 50 girls are shown with a gunman who demands the release of fighters in return for the girls, and says some girls died in air strikes. The government says it is in touch with the militants behind the video. A journalist who had contact with Boko Haram has been declared a wanted man by the Nigerian army. The group is said to be holding more than 200 of the 276 final-year girls it seized from a school in April 2014. Non-Muslims were forcibly converted to Islam, and it is feared that many of the schoolgirls have been sexually abused and forced into "marriage" by their captors. Parents of the missing girls have described their anguish at seeing their daughters in captivity. The video begins with a shot of a masked man, carrying a gun, speaking to the camera. He says that some of the girls have been wounded and have life-threatening injuries, and that 40 have been "married". Speaking in the Hausa language, the gunman says the girls on display will "never" be returned if the government does not release Boko Haram fighters who have been "in detention for ages". I have watched the video several times. I saw her sitting down. The fact is we are overwhelmed with a feeling of depression. It's like being beaten and being stopped from crying. You helplessly watch your daughter but there is nothing you can do. It's a real heartache. Those who are still alive - we want them back. We want them back irrespective of their condition. As ordinary men, there is nothing we [the other fathers and I] can do on our own. We are just here unable to do anything with our lives. You see your child but someone denies you from having it. They are being forcefully married and they now live in terrible conditions. The video concludes with footage of bodies, said to be the victims of air strikes, lying on the ground at another location. The militant also carries out a staged interview with one of the captives, who calls herself Maida Yakubu, in which she asks parents to appeal to the government. Maida's mother, Esther, is one of several parents of Chibok girls who recently published open letters to their daughters detailing the pain they feel at their children's absence and their hopes for the future. Another girl among those standing in the background can be seen with a baby. Some of the girls can be seen weeping as Maida speaks. Boko Haram has waged a violent campaign for years in northern Nigeria in its quest for Islamic rule, and a faction of the group recently pledged loyalty to so-called Islamic State. Thousands of people have been killed or captured by the group, whose name translates as "Western education is forbidden". Many of the girls abducted in Chibok were Christian. Boko Haram has always maintained that the Chibok girls were safe and would only be released if the Nigerian government gave in to its demands. Through this video, the group is again trying to make the government look like the villain for carrying out air strikes on the militants, which it claims have backfired and hit the abductees instead. Reigniting public sympathy for the girls might be an attempt to force the government to listen. Boko Haram is attempting to paint the military campaign against the jihadists as a failure. It is also significant that this video comes shortly after a split in the group, with one faction maintaining that it is the true regional branch of the so-called Islamic State. The video indicates that the other faction, led by Abubakar Shekau, is the one holding the Chibok girls and so it will use this to show why it cannot be ignored, even if its rivals have foreign backing. Nigerian Information Minister Alhaji Mohammed insisted the government was doing everything possible to secure the girls' release. "We are being extremely careful because the situation has been compounded by the split in the leadership of Boko Haram," he said. "We are also being guided by the need to ensure the safety of the girls." The video is the first to be seen since CNN obtained footage in April purportedly showing 15 of the girls. The Nigerian army declared journalist Ahmad Salkida a wanted man after he published details of the new video before it was released. Salkida, who moved to Dubai a few years ago, has written extensively about the inside operations of the group. The Chibok girls had been thought to be in a heavily forested area of northern Nigeria. One of the girls was found wandering in the Sambisa Forest in May by an army-backed vigilante group. The departure of the Portuguese coach was revealed on Monday, with Ahly's Twitter page declaring the 55-year-old's contract had been terminated. On Tuesday the Portuguese side Porto confirmed earlier reports that Peseiro is the club's new coach. Peseiro was appointed by Ahly only in October and the club said on Monday it dismissed him because he was "unable to withstand the pressure and criticism". "The board has decided to terminate Peseiro's contract after he asked not to continue his mission," Ahly said in a statement on their website. "Peseiro said he cannot bear the recent criticism and pressure anymore, plus that he already endures bad luck. "Club president Mahmoud Taher tried to persuade the coach to stay put, promising him full backing. But he acknowledged that Ahly fans no longer accept his presence after the recent poor results." Ahly have appointed Abdel-Aziz Abdel-Shafi as caretaker boss for the second time in a few months. According to reports in the Portuguese media, Peseiro is on the verge of taking the reins at Porto, who are looking for a new manager after sacking Julen Lopetegui 11 days ago.

The 31-year-old South African comedian made a "smooth transition" into the role on Comedy Central's satirical news show, according to Variety. Deadline called the evening "mostly inoffensive but also mostly flat". TV columnist Brian Lowry said he looked "more at ease and in command than he ever did as a correspondent". Stewart stepped down after 16 years at the helm of the influential show and Noah's appointment was announced in March. "No memories of Stewart and his storied reign have been usurped or replaced," wrote The Hollywood Reporter, "Nor, however, have they been sullied." Daniel Feinberg added: "The best and most honest thing you can say about Monday's premiere is: 'He didn't break it.' He also didn't try to." Noah's opening monologue kicked off with a joke about growing up on the dusty streets of South Africa, where his only two dreams were hosting The Daily Show and having an indoor toilet. "Now I have both. And I'm quite comfortable with one of them," said Noah. Paying tribute to Stewart he said: "He was often our voice, our refuge and in many ways our political dad," before joking, "Now it feels like the family has a new stepdad. And he's black. Which is not ideal." Deadline's Jeremy Gerard was not convinced by all of Noah's punchlines though. "A joke about Whitney Houston was DOA, as was a tired play on Aids versus aides, and still the smile never left Noah's face even as the words hobbled out and died... Those teeth need more bite," he said. But Gawker suggested Stewart fans should stay happy, commenting: "If you liked that Daily Show, this one has some very good news for you: it's basically the same!" The website said many of Stewart's writing staff had stayed to help "bridge the gap". "Noah opened with some Pope jokes that sounded like Jon Stewart bits delivered by an extremely handsome man with an accent," Jordan Sargent wrote, concluding, "it could have been a lot worse". The Guardian's Brian Moylan had little time for Noah's "toothless and unironic interview" with his first guest, actor and comedian Kevin Hart. "His questions for Hart were such softballs that they may as well have been made out of cotton candy, inflated with helium, and let loose on a spring breeze," said Moylan. But he added: "Noah had an average first night, neither killing it nor completely embarrassing himself." This week's guests are Whitney Wolfe, the CEO of dating site Bumble and co-founder of Tinder, the governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie and musician Ryan Adams - who last week released an album of cover versions based on Taylor Swift's 1989 album. Monday night's debut episode will air in the UK on Tuesday night, on Comedy Central at 23:00 BST. Viewers in South Africa will be able to watch the show on pay TV service DStv at 21:00 CAT on Comedy Central from Tuesdays to Fridays, with full catch-up episodes available online at www.comedycentralafrica.com from 30 September. Academy manager Alan Dickens has been filling the role since Alex King left Franklin's Gardens in October. Dickens helped the club reach their first Premiership final in 2013 before King came in that summer. But Saints are currently ninth in the Premiership and Hewitt said: "We are unaccustomed to the situation in which we currently find ourselves." In a message to supporters on the club website, he continued: "We remain committed to wanting to have the best possible squad and to give the coaching and backroom staff the means to provide the players with the wherewithal to bring wins to Northampton. "A lot of work is going on behind the scenes to secure international-calibre players to bolster the squad for next season, and we are also seeking a new attack/skills coach to start as soon as their availability allows." Having won only four of their 10 Premiership games this season, Northampton are also bottom of their Champions Cup group. "There have been many comments on social media and online forums which accuse the club's management of being 'out of touch'," said Hewitt. "As someone who has been a part of the Saints for the best part of 30 years I can, hand on heart, say that I can appreciate and understand the frustrations that everyone has at the present time. "All of the staff at Franklin's Gardens have a passion to see the club succeed, whether because they were supporters long before they became members of staff, or because they have the innate desire for success that is an essential part of being a professional sportsperson or coach. He added: "We know that there is a lot of discontent among many supporters; if there is one positive we can take it is that we all share the same passion in wanting Northampton Saints to be a successful club." Since the Houthi takeover of half of Yemen, AQAP, short for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, has been gaining territory, towns, arms and influence. It has never had it so good. US intelligence cites AQAP as the most globally dangerous of all al-Qaeda's regional branches because of its proven ability to smuggle bombs on to planes bound for the West. So is anything left of the much-vaunted US-led counter-terrorism strategy in Yemen? "The dynamic in Yemen has changed dramatically," says Dr Sajjan Gohel, a terrorism expert with the Asia Pacific Foundation. "The current internal strife in Yemen is giving AQAP a breathing space allowing them to raid jails, free (jihadist) prisoners and increase the numbers of their recruits". It seems incredible now, given the violence raging across Yemen on so many fronts, that only a few months ago President Barack Obama was holding up US-Yemeni co-operation against al-Qaeda as a model for counter-terrorism. In fact it was far from ideal. A combination of Saudi and Yemeni intelligence on the ground, US electronic intercepts and satellite surveillance allowed the CIA to select targets to be hit by drones in remote parts of the south and east of the country that were mostly inaccessible by the Yemeni military. These UAV strikes by unmanned Reapers and Predators, launched variously from discrete runways in Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Djibouti, were certainly keeping AQAP on the back foot, reducing its leaders' ability to stay in one place for long and plan big attacks. But the drone strikes have also killed many Yemeni civilians and they have been hugely resented by local tribes. Today, in the worst of all scenarios, the drone strikes may well resume, but without the benefit of having eyes and ears on the ground. This leaves the US with two options: either give up and leave AQAP alone, which is unlikely, or continue the drone strikes with the dramatically increased risk of civilian casualties. Eventually, as is often the way in the Middle East, Yemen will settle down into an uneasy compromise between competing factions. The US, as the global superpower, may even be able to find a new partner on the ground. But for now that prospect looks unlikely as Yemen's battle lines become ever more complex. The Saudis have their attention fully focused on trying to defeat the Shia Houthi rebels and their allies, or at least bomb them towards the negotiating table. Their other enemy in Yemen, AQAP, is now a secondary priority, although a Saudi adviser tells me they have not forgotten about them. But the Saudis are busy attempting, belatedly, to reverse the blitzkrieg takeover of half the country by a group, the Houthis, who the Saudis insist is backed by their historic rival, Iran. The Houthis, who are now effectively in power in most of Yemen, declare themselves to be staunchly anti-Western. Their slogan, seen everywhere at demonstrations, includes the words: "Death to America. Death to Israel. A Curse upon the Jews. Victory to Islam". So, not much scope for US-Yemeni co-operation there then. The real power-broker in Yemen is the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh. Pushed out of office by the Arab Spring protests in 2013, he never left the country and Yemenis say he still thinks it cannot cope without him. He has certainly done his best to make sure it is ungovernable by his successor. Mr Saleh, who was in power in some form for 35 years, commands the loyalty of much, if not most, of Yemen's police and armed forces. It is with their help that the Houthi rebels have been able to seize so much territory. Mr Saleh was, for years, a trusted counter-terrorism partner of Washington. He authorised the very first CIA drone strike in Yemen back in 2002. Since then teams of US Special Forces trainers have rotated through Yemen, mentoring and advising his Special Forces to fight al-Qaeda. Today some of those very forces are on the receiving end of US-made precision guided missiles supplied to the Royal Saudi Air Force. Such is the mess Yemen is in. The southern Yemenis who have been defending Aden against the advancing Houthis are not organised or cohesive enough to be serious national partners. Many of them anyway are untrained civilians who had never picked up a gun until last month. That leaves al-Qaeda, newly resurgent in the wild eastern half of the country. Already it has taken over much of the Indian Ocean port of Mukalla and boasted of having infiltrated fighters into Aden. More than once they have detonated devastating suicide bombs in the capital Sanaa, killing dozens at a time. With the Shia Houthis, their sectarian enemies, in power, there are likely to be more bombings as AQAP tries to recruit the Sunni tribes to their cause. AQAP has two agendas. One is local, within Yemen's borders, and is all about taking territory, attacking the government, raiding armouries and building a support base among the tribes. The other, which so worries Washington and London, is global. Due to the bomb-making skills of a Saudi engineer, Ibrahim al-Asiri, a small cell of technicians within AQAP has become frighteningly proficient at designing "Artfully Concealed Explosive Devices" inside objects smuggled on to West-bound airliners. With the pressure on AQAP now temporarily lifted there are fears those bomb-makers may now have the freedom to make some long-term plans. The remains were found by a member of the public shortly after midday on Monday just off the A628 at Tintwistle, near Glossop. Officers said the corpse was too badly burned for the gender to be confirmed. A post-mortem examination has not yet taken place. The area where the remains were found is just outside the Peak District and is a popular walking spot. Detectives said they had launched a murder investigation and asked for anyone who may have seen anything unusual in the area to contact them. More updates on this story and from around Derbyshire Six "deeply traumatised" passengers escaped the smoke-filled vehicle with the help of a taxi driver who forced open the back door of the bus. Paramedics treated 11 people for smoke inhalation and minor injuries. Police have ruled out terrorism and charged a 48-year-old man. Anthony Donahue is accused of murder and arson, and 11 counts of attempted murder. The bus driver was identified as Manmeet Alisher, a 29-year-old man well known in Brisbane's Indian community. Friends described him as a talented singer and dancer who was engaged to be married. "I've been confronted with many situations, but this is a rare one where there appears to be no apparent motive," Police Supt Jim Keogh told reporters. "A bus driver, going about doing his business, supporting the community, has had his life taken from him in what is a senseless and needless act." Taxi driver Aguek Nyok helped passengers escape. He was in the area meaning to get a haircut and kicked the bus door three times before managing to break it open. "All the people were at the back trying to get out of the bus but they couldn't get out the front because of the flames," he told the Courier-Mail newspaper. "They couldn't open the back door so I kicked it down and they all came running out. "It was one of the two: you get the people out or they're going to die." Mr Nyok said there were three children among the passengers. Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said it was "a very, very sad day for the council and the wider community". Flags will be flown at half-mast across the city on Saturday as sign of respect for Mr Alisher. Scott, 28, continued his two-year winning streak by pipping Pieter-Jan Postma on the final day of racing at the Aquece Rio International Regatta. Scott finished fourth in the final race to take his second consecutive test event victory at the 2016 venue. Mills and Clark led into the medal race but finished second after a penalty. The 470 pair - who won silver at the London Games - were forced to take penalty turns after infringing another boat at the start and could only finish 10th. Many have potential as food crops, medicines or sources of timber. However, scientists say some of the newly-discovered plants are already at risk of extinction. They are developing new ways to speed up the discovery and classification of plants to help safeguard them for future generations. The second annual assessment of the State of the World's Plants by scientists at Kew found that 1,730 plants were recorded as being new to science in 2016. They include 11 new species from Brazil of the Manihot shrub known for its starchy root, cassava. Seven species of the South African plant best known for red bush or rooibos tea were discovered, of which six are already threatened with extinction. Other discoveries include new relatives of Aloe Vera, widely used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Prof Kathy Willis, director of science at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, said the new discoveries hold "huge promise" for the future. "It's really important to find these new species because they may well hold the genetic code - or the key - to more resilient food crops from pests and pathogens and climate change into the future," she said. "If we lose those crops or plants that provide really important natural capital for human well-being - so for example plants that draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide, plants that maintain and enhance our soils, plants that are important for fuel, for medicines, for fuels - if we lose those, that's the end of humanity." Researchers at Kew are trying to identify which plants are most at risk of extinction by looking at the global distribution of plants and the identification and naming of new species. The knowledge is being used to designate protected areas for plants around the world, including several in Africa. Kew's seed conservation project at Wakehurst Place in Sussex stores more than two billion seeds from global plant species as a "living collection of seeds". Lara Jewitt, nurseries manager at Kew, said some of the plants kept in the nurseries at Kew are the last of their kind in the world. "We have about 10,000 species here, 29% of which are natural source - so that means they've been collected from the wild," she said. "That makes them much more important for conservation, for scientific research, for restoration. This is a living scientific collection - so it's incredibly important." Interesting specimens include an orchid from the forests of Cambodia that was brought back to Kew for further study. It has flowered in the tropical nursery, allowing it to be identified as new to science. "In the tropical nursery we have a target list of everything's that endangered," said Lara Jewitt. "My team pollinate those plants and they collect seed. Then that seed gets banked in the Millennium Seed Bank and that's banked forever." The report also revealed that a growing number of plants have had their genomes sequenced to find out more about their biology. The tally now stands at more than 200, including food and drink favourites such as pineapples, strawberries, coffee, wine, chocolate and beer. In other findings: Follow Helen on Twitter. Sarries are bidding to become the first team to win three successive domestic crowns since 2005, but were well short of their fluent best against Warriors. The hosts led 6-3 after an unconvincing first half in the London Double Header. Saracens pulled clear after the break, with Jamie George, Alex Lozowski, debutant Schalk Burger and Ben Spencer all crossing for the bonus point. Director of rugby Mark McCall will be encouraged by his side's second-half showing, but will also be keen to welcome back England fly-half Owen Farrell, who missed the game with a back injury. His replacement Lozowski, though impressive with ball in hand, missed three routine kicks from the tee as Saracens failed to convert their possession and territory into more points. Opponents Worcester, led by head coach Carl Hogg for the first time following Dean Ryan's summer departure, produced a spirited defensive display and may even have pushed Sarries closer but for a 12-minute collapse shortly after half-time. George, Lozowski and South Africa's World Cup-winning flanker Burger all crossed in quick succession to put the home side in complete control with more than half an hour still left to play. Saracens had to wait until the 77th minute for the bonus-point-securing try - a superb, jinking solo score from replacement scrum-half Spencer. Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall: "Overall, I am probably not happy with that. I am happy we got five points and happy to get the win. "It was a hugely rusty performance but we defended very well. Give Worcester credit for the way they played in that first half. They were really physical and they made life difficult for us at the breakdown. "But I was pretty calm at half-time and I thought we were ruthless in that 15 minutes of the second half and that set us up to get the win." Worcester head coach Carl Hogg: "There was a huge amount of character and effort in that first half given the amount of possession and territory that Saracens had. "It was an even contest in that first half but the amount of effort took its toll in the second. "It is a disappointment. We talked [at half-time] about trying to get a foothold in the game, but they are at the top end of Europe and they squeeze teams in." Saracens: Goode; Ashton, Bosch, Barritt (capt), Maitland; Lozowski, Wigglesworth; M Vunipola, George, Du Plessis, Itoje, Kruis, Wray, Burger, B Vunipola. Replacements: Brits, Barrington, Figallo, Hamilton, Rhodes, Spencer, Taylor, Ellery. Worcester: Willison; Hammond, Olivier, Te'o, Vuna; Lamb, Arr; Rapava Ruskin, Annett, Schonert, Cavubati, Barry, Dowson, Mama, van Velze (capt). Replacements: Bregvadze, Leleimalefaga, Johnston, Scotland-Williamson, Faosiliva, Baldwin, Heathcote, Humphreys. Red Bull are pushing to use Mercedes engines having lost confidence in their current supplier Renault. Asked if supplying Red Bull was a good idea, Hamilton said: "If we are serious about winning the world championship, probably not. "Red Bull are a great team, but it's like giving Ferrari our engines." Hamilton added: "We don't really need it. There is no financial benefit. We are good where we are." Red Bull have a contract with Renault, with whom they won four consecutive drivers' and constructors' title doubles from 2010-13, until the end of 2016 but want to use Mercedes engines from next year. Renault has been left behind by Mercedes and Ferrari since the introduction of complex turbo hybrid engines into F1 in 2014. The French car company is considering its future in the sport having come to the conclusion that its relationship with Red Bull is not working from a marketing perspective. It is in the late stages of talks aimed at taking back control of the Lotus team and again becoming an entrant in its own right - Renault owned the team from 2001-2009 and won two world title doubles with Fernando Alonso in 2005-6. Insiders say Red Bull have sent Renault a legal letter giving notice of termination of contract on the grounds that the French company has failed to meet performance clauses in its contract. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner refused to comment on that development, referring to it as "paddock gossip". He said: "We have an agreement with Renault until the end of 2016 and anything other than [that] is purely speculation at the moment." Asked if he was trying to get a Mercedes engine as soon as possible, Horner added: "Our aim is to be as competitive as we can as quickly as we can. First of all, we want to understand what the situation with Renault is and what commitment they have to making sure they are competitive." Mercedes are wary of supplying Red Bull because of their history of antagonism with engine partners. However, it is understood there is some support for the idea of supplying Red Bull within the company on the grounds that it could be advantageous to be associated with a brand which has a youthful image. But Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has made it clear he would not consider entering any talks with Red Bull while they still have a contract with Renault. Mercedes and Renault are partners - each owns 5% of the other and they are collaborating on 10 projects in the road-car arena. Red Bull's only other option if they split with Renault is to sign a deal for Ferrari to supply engines. Burke, 20, became the most expensive Scottish player ever when he joined Bundesliga side Leipzig for a fee of about £13m in August 2016. He made 25 league appearances last term and helped Leipzig qualify for the 2017-18 Champions League group stage. "I feel like it is a time for me to play more games," said Burke. "I want to impress and I want my name to be first on the teamsheet." Burke could make his West Brom debut on Sunday at home to Stoke (13:30 BST). Baggies boss Tony Pulis described Burke as a player with "tremendous talent". He is West Brom's fourth major signing of the summer. Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez, 28, signed for about £12m in July, Egypt defender Ahmed Hegazi, 27, has joined on a season-long loan deal, while former England midfielder Gareth Barry, 36, joined for an undisclosed fee. The Baggies have also signed China striker Yuning Zhang, 20, who has started a two-year loan in Germany with Werder Bremen. West Brom have won their first two games of the Premier League season - both 1-0 against Bournemouth and Burnley. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. At a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Denbighshire council decided on a new consultation process to shut Ysgol Llanbedr DC, Ruthin. The first consultation was declared flawed by Education Minister Huw Lewis in January so plans to close the school were rejected. But despite the reprieve, a second consultation will now be launched with a view to closing the school in 2016. The Church in Wales school has been marked for closure because of low pupil numbers and surplus places. The council voted to close it last summer despite opposition from parents and the church. One parent, Andrea Fragata Ladiera, said it was "galling" to be in the position of fighting the closure again. Another parent and governor at the school Sian Jones said pupil numbers were steadily increasing in spite of the school being under threat. The council said it would begin pre-consultation talks with the Diocese of St Asaph over the next 28 days. Emma Fairthorne, from Bournemouth, posted a video on social media after her daughter Georgia, suffered head injuries while on holiday in Wales. The video, filmed outside University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, has been viewed more than 900,000 times. She urged parents to "just take care" and ensure their children wore helmets. Georgia Fairthorne had been on holiday in Pembrokeshire when she suffered a traumatic head injury after coming off her skateboard. She was transferred to hospital in Cardiff where she underwent surgery for a bleed on the brain. On Saturday Ms Fairthorne posted a video in which she said: "I wish as a mum, I had provided her with a helmet, I'm just praying the best possible outcome happens for her - I don't know what quality of life she's going to have if she makes it through the next few days." She urged parents to "Please guys, just take care - get them helmets when they are on their scooters and skateboards. It only took that one second." Another video posted on Tuesday, she said her daughter was stable and "showing some really encouraging signs". He tweeted that he had consulted with military experts and cited "tremendous medical costs and disruption". The Obama administration decided last year to allow transgender people to serve openly in the military. But in June, Defence Secretary James Mattis agreed to a six-month delay in the recruitment of transgender people. As is often the case, the announcement came in a series of tweets. Mr Trump said: "After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military. "Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail." But the measure will not go into effect immediately. The Pentagon says: "We will provide revised guidance to the department in the near future." The secret life of a transgender airman Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America Reporter The timing of this transgender ban is almost as interesting as the move itself. Why now? With the Trump administration being buffeted by the Jeff Sessions political death watch, the ongoing multi-prong investigation into the Trump campaign, the healthcare drama in the Senate and the impending Russian sanctions bill, perhaps the administration decided this was a good time to change the subject and rally conservative forces to his side. Republicans have long used cultural issues as a wedge to divide Democrats and energise evangelicals. As one White House insider acknowledged, this is straight out of that playbook. While Mr Trump campaigned as sympathetic to LGBT rights, he needs the traditional religious conservatives to stay loyal to him now, more than ever. His populist supporters won't consider this a top issue, but the president needs more than just his die-hard loyalists in his corner, particularly if he's going to stoke intraparty discord by continuing to feud with Mr Sessions. The president's action will create a furore among liberals and the media commentators whose disdain for the current administration is not a new development. This is a fight the White House will welcome. The independent Rand Corporation estimated in 2016 that 2,450 of the 1.2 million active-duty service members are transgender, though some campaigners put the figure higher. The Obama administration's move to allow transgender people in the military to serve openly was announced in June 2016 by then Defence Secretary Ash Carter. The policy included a provision for the military to provide medical help for service members wanting to change gender. Transgender people would be permitted to join the services, so long as they could demonstrate they had been stable in their new gender for at least 18 months. This was meant to come into effect on 1 July 2017 but the Trump administration delayed it by a further six months. The Pentagon said the five branches of the military needed more time to "review their accession plans and provide input on the impact to the readiness and lethality of our forces". While Mr Trump's decision concerns transgender military personnel, the US military's ban on openly gay and lesbian servicemen and women - known as "Don't ask don't tell" - was lifted in 2011. Delays leave transgender military in limbo LGBTQ campaign group, GLAAD, called Mr Trump's move "a direct attack on transgender Americans". George Takei, equality campaigner and the actor who played Mr Sulu in Star Trek, accused the president of cruelty and pettiness. Aaron Belkin, director of the Palm Centre, a leading think-tank which studies gender and sexuality in the military, told the BBC that Mr Trump's decision would force transgender troops to in effect live as gays and lesbians did under "Don't ask, don't tell". Former Defence Secretary Carter released a critical statement: "To choose service members on other grounds than military qualifications is social policy and has no place in our military. There are already transgender individuals who are serving capably and honorably." Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Republican John McCain, said major policy announcements should not be made via Twitter and continued: "The statement was unclear. The Department of Defense has already decided to allow currently-serving transgender individuals to stay in the military, and many are serving honorably today. Any American who meets current medical and readiness standards should be allowed to continue serving." Trump revokes transgender toilet rules Republican opponents of transgender people serving in the military include Vicky Hartzler, a congresswoman from Missouri, who wants transgender service members honourably discharged. Some oppose the military having to bear medical costs associated with transgender recruits, such as gender reassignment. Trump supporter and political commentator Scott Presler is among those who disagree with the military carrying the cost of such interventions. While disagreeing with the ban, he added that "generals know more about war than I do. "I am cognizant that they understand what it takes to go to war... I don't think this is an attack on the LGBT community. "I'm mixed, but I have confidence in the guidance that President Trump is receiving," he said. "I don't think for a second he's prejudiced." Media playback is not supported on this device United beat Crystal Palace at Wembley in May to win their first silverware since 2013. However, the club released a team photo in which only the Community Shield - new manager Jose Mourinho's first success in the role - on display. The FA Cup Twitter account posted a downcast emoji in response. The FA Cup trophy was not the only thing missing from United's 2016-17 group shot. German World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger, 32, who has been training away from the first team despite having a contract until the summer of 2018, was also absent. Schweinsteiger retired from Germany duty in July. Universities UK (UUK) said that, under some circumstances, such seating would be allowed if requested by speakers from orthodox religious groups. PM David Cameron told Channel 4 News the guidance "shouldn't say that". UUK, which has withdrawn part of the guidance, says it may need to be tested in court. The umbrella body has written to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) asking it to either seek clarification in the High Court or to "provide a clear and public statement about the law and the relevant policy considerations". The controversy hinges on a hypothetical case study featuring an external speaker invited to talk about his orthodox religious faith. In the case study, now withdrawn pending the EHRC review, the speaker requests segregated seating areas for men and women. The UUK guidance - published last month - stated that, when considering the request, university officials should consider both freedom of speech obligations as well as discrimination and equality laws. It concluded that "if neither women nor men were disadvantaged and a non-segregated seating area were also provided, it might in the specific circumstances of the case be appropriate for the university to agree to the request". It added that the guidance was not prescriptive and that its aim was to provide "practical assistance to universities in making decisions about who they choose to invite to speak on campus, steering them through all the different considerations, legal and otherwise, that apply". Business Secretary Vince Cable, whose department has responsibility for universities, has now written to UUK urging it to clarify its position. "I am clear that forced segregation of any kind, including gender segregation, is never acceptable on campuses," he said. "But how the law applies where segregation is voluntary is unclear. "That is why I am writing to Universities UK asking them to clarify that distinction between private worship on the one hand and public areas of learning on the other, and to amend their guidance accordingly." On Friday evening, the prime minister said he was "absolutely clear that there shouldn't be segregated audiences for visiting speakers to universities in Britain". "That is not the right approach - the guidance shouldn't say that," he told Channel 4. "Universities should not allow this and I'm very clear about that." UUK chief executive Nicola Dandridge said the organisation agreed with Mr Cameron that universities should not enforce gender segregation on audiences at the request of guest speakers. But "where the gender segregation is voluntary, the law is unclear," she said. "We are working with our lawyers and the EHRC to clarify the position. "Meanwhile, the case study which triggered this debate has been withdrawn pending this review." EHRC chief executive Mark Hammond, meanwhile, has said that, while segregation by gender in premises being used for religious purposes was legal, it was "not permissible" in an academic meeting or in a lecture open to the public. Baroness Perry of Southwark, chairwoman of the House of Lords backbench education committee, said she was "outraged" by the guidance. She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was contrary to "the long struggle that the brave women of the early academics in the 19th Century had to get the provision to sit in lectures". "There is no university campus in the whole of Britain which separates men and women and allows it." Tariq Ramadan, professor of contemporary Islamic Studies at the Oxford University, said: "Depending on who is organising and when they are asking me, I don't have a problem talking in universities, in rooms and public venues where the people are together men and women. "And some organisers are separating men and women." He added: "If every time there is segregation I'm not going to talk then I'm not reaching the people that I want to reach and for them to listen." The company also said currency controls in Venezuela made it impossible for airlines to convert their earnings into dollars and send the money abroad. Venezuela's economy has been hit hard by a sharp drop in the price of oil - the country's main source of income. Venezuela has high inflation and severe shortages of basic goods. In a statement, Lufthansa said that it "will be forced to suspend our service between Caracas and Frankfurt as of 18 June". It noted that the demand for international flights to Venezuela had dropped in 2015 and in the first quarter of the current year. However, it said it hoped to restore services in the near future. Strict currency controls were first imposed in Venezuela in 2003 by late President Hugo Chavez. The restrictions were further tightened two years ago, forcing several airlines to reduce their operations in the country as they struggled to repatriate billions of dollars in revenue held in the local currency - the bolivar. Some airlines are now requiring passengers to pay their fares in dollars. Venezuela's government has defended its policies, saying it must prioritise. Caracas says it is using its foreign reserves - which are now scarce - to pay for essential items such as medicines and industrial machinery. But Senior Constable Paul Topham said they were foiled by the justice system and a flawed police database. Luke Batty was killed by his father Greg Anderson at a cricket oval in the Melbourne suburb of Tyabb in February. Anderson was shot dead by police. A probe into how authorities could have stopped the killing began on Monday. Snr PC Topham said on Thursday that the police "weren't mucking around with [Anderson], we were trying to get him... we were all working hard behind the scenes to try and apprehend this guy". "We put him up before the courts and the courts let him out. We've gone the mental health route, it didn't work." 'Astounded' In his account of events since he first arrested Anderson in January 2013, Snr PC Topham painted a picture of Anderson as an intelligent suspect who knew how to stay out of police custody. Snr PC Topham had arrested Anderson after he assaulted and threatened to kill his former partner Rosie Batty. He said Anderson "became extremely aggressive" at the arrest, but was "smart enough to shut it down before it got to the next level". A court decided to grant Anderson bail, which "astounded" Snr PC Topham. "We knew it was a marginal address that he'd disappear from after a few days," he said. Snr PC Topham said Anderson later changed his address and was unable to be tracked down, and also knew a procedural loophole that ensured he did not need to report to the police. The police issued several warrants to arrest Anderson. Officers had served papers on Anderson two weeks before the killing, but could not arrest him because of a flaw with the police database. Snr PC Topham said he considered Anderson "100% bad, not mad", adding that he had no regard for authority and "knew what he was doing". The Luke Batty case has shocked Australia. Ms Batty has since become a high-profile advocate against domestic violence. The inquest continues. All five people who were on board the training aircraft from RAF Valley on Anglesey have been reported safe and did not need hospital treatment. Emergency services were called at about 13:45 BST to Yr Aran, a mountain peak on a ridge south of Snowdon. Walkers reported seeing 10ft-high (3m) flames. An air ambulance was sent to the scene, along with a coastguard helicopter. Firefighters, police and mountain rescue teams from Llanberis, Ogwen Valley and Aberglaslyn also made their way to the peak, while an air exclusion zone was put in place. A Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesman said the Griffin training helicopter "safely completed a precautionary landing in Snowdonia" following a technical issue. "Everyone on board exited safely, subsequently the aircraft caught fire," he added. The MoD said five people - four military and one civilian - were on the helicopter at the time, while another person involved in the training exercise was already on the mountain. It said the exercise involved the helicopter picking people up and putting them back down. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said it was called at 13:45 BST to reports by the air ambulance of a helicopter crash west of Snowdon. "The helimed was in the area at the time of the crash and was immediately on scene," a spokesman said. Huw Price, who was walking nearby when the helicopter caught fire, said: "We were walking up the path, just me and the dog, and I saw this helicopter flying in the valley below us. "I assumed it was routine fly-by, it did not look like it was looking for anything. "Then it went away and I just assumed it had flown off, but then I saw billowing black smoke." Mr Price, who is on holiday in north Wales, said a walker who passed him said he had seen the helicopter land. "There was no big bang, it must have just had some sort of issue. There was lots of smoke. It was high, thick, black smoke," he added. The ex-Bournemouth, Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth man, 31, joined Crewe on a free transfer in August. He scored once in 29 games for the Alex, taking his tally of appearances to 442 in a career which includes loans at Torquay, Swindon and Gillingham. Hollands becomes Eastleigh's second signing of the summer. After originally joining Crewe on a short-term deal until January, that was then extended until the end of the season. Having missed the last two months of the campaign through injury, he was still one of seven out-of contract players offered a new deal after keeping Crewe in League Two. But he still lives down in Hampshire and Eastleigh's offer was too good to turn down. "He's moving back close to his Portsmouth home," Crewe boss David Artell told BBC Radio Stoke. "But that's football. It means I've got to look for another midfielder now." Eastleigh, now under the new management pairing of former boss Richard Hill and ex-Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler, finished 15th in the National League last season.

"Both players for their first outing in a Blues shirt showed what they are capable of," said Wilson. Morgan has joined from Bristol while Williams was recruited from Ulster. Former Junior All Black Williams signed in December 2015 but underwent surgery on a shoulder injury. Morgan helped Bristol gain promotion to the English Premiership last season before switching to the Arms Park. "Matthew showed great footwork and acceleration and Nick - the competitiveness in the man - a huge man with a huge collision and defensively the ability to turn the ball over," added Wilson. "I'm sure there's plenty to come from both of them." Morgan was happy with his first run out for the Blues, and says he is looking forward to fighting for the number 15 jersey with Blues regular Dan Fish. The former Ospreys back also plays fly-half, but with current Wales player Gareth Anscombe and new recruit Steven Shingler at the region he expects his chances to come in the back three. "I spoke to Danny Wilson in my first week here and he says he sees me more as a 15, so I'll just train there," said Morgan. "Obviously Dan Fish is a 15 as well and he's a good quality player so it will be good to push each other." The match against Bristol was the Blues' last friendly before they kick off their Pro12 campaign at home against Edinburgh on 3 September. The unnamed motorist stated on a caution form he had completed a driver improvement course the day before. He wrote: "Just give me the points and fine - I did the mobile phone course yesterday. It was as boring as hell." Police forces in England sometimes offer courses as an alternative to penalties for motoring offences. The force's road policing team shared a photo of the form on Twitter with the comment: "Some will never learn". Officers said the risks associated with using a phone while driving are very clear. No details about where the man was stopped have been released. 15 March 2017 Last updated at 22:08 GMT This report was originally broadcast as part of BBC News School Report.

Danielle McLaughlin, from County Donegal, was found dead in a field close to tourist resorts in the western state of Goa earlier this month. A post-mortem examination concluded that brain damage and constriction of the neck caused the 28-year-old's death in Canacona. Ms McLaughlin's remains arrived home in Donegal on Monday evening. Hundreds of people attended her funeral at St Mary's Church in Buncrana on Thursday. Family and friends presented four symbols of Ms McLaughlin's life, including a guitar, a holy medallion from one of Mother Teresa's care homes in India, a family photo and a poem. During requiem mass, Father Francis Bradley said Danielle McLaughlin had made a huge impression on people's lives. "She was disarmingly kind and forgiving; her warm nature and open heart drew people into her ever-widening, extensive and international circle of friends," Fr Bradley said. "A brief glance at the vast array of tender messages for Danielle's mother Andrea, her family and friends, shows the immense esteem in which she was held. "She had a gentle but powerful way with her - for it seems that just one encounter with her was enough to change someone's life." Danielle McLaughlin had travelled to India in February on a British passport. The former Liverpool John Moores University student had been staying in a beach hut in Goa with an Australian female friend. The pair had been celebrating Holi, a Hindu spring festival, in a nearby village. She left the village late at night and her body was found the next day, unclothed, with injuries to her head and face, police said. A 24-year-old man, whose name has been reported as Vikat Bhagat, appeared in court two weeks ago charged with murder, and will also face rape charges. Tony Chapman, 62, from Warwickshire, was stopped by police in his white Toyota Rav4 on 7 May at 1:46 BST. Police said it was a "miracle" nobody was seriously injured as drivers took evasive action to avoid a crash. Chapman, of Aspley Heath Lane, Tanworth-in-Arden admitted several charges including driving while drunk and dangerous driving. Warwickshire Police said the car had travelled from junction 15, for Warwick, and was seen weaving across the road. Vehicles travelling the correct way on the northbound carriageway had to swerve to avoid colliding with him and the road was eventually closed off. Officers forced the car into the central reservation before arresting him. During interview, he said he had no recollection of driving the car. At court, he also admitted possession of cannabis, driving without insurance and a licence, failing to provide a breath test and taking a vehicle without consent. He was banned from driving for five years and nine months and ordered to pay a £140 victim surcharge. Con John Martin said: "It was a miracle that nobody was seriously injured. "Chapman... put the lives of other road users at risk and the prison sentence reflects the severity of what he did." Some Pakistani and Western commentators express unease about Mr Modi's reputation as a Hindu nationalist. But there is also a feeling that a fresh start is needed to build a relationship with the new leader. A few of Pakistan's Urdu-language dailies see the outcome as a victory for extremism. "Hindu extremism won in India," reads a headline in Karachi's Jasarat, while the Nawa-i-Waqt daily says that "extremist BJP" got a heavy mandate while "Congress was sent packing". Another Karachi based-paper, the leading liberal daily Dawn, says: "There is much to be worried about when it comes to a politician with an explicitly communal background elected on an agenda for economic empowerment and regeneration." But the paper says Pakistan would not rule out a working relationship with the new government, given that the stakes are high. "From a Pakistani perspective, where the transition to democracy continues, the Indian election could not be more crucial. Much hope is pinned on the reality that a centre-right government in Pakistan with genuine legitimacy and political support in the heartland can do business with a right-wing government in India," Dawn says. A more conservative paper, The Nation, says an economically stable India might be good for Pakistan, and expects that the new prime minister will be motivated to deliver on his promises. "A man as obsessed with his image and legacy as Modi will be careful not to tarnish how the world sees him," the paper reasons. It goes on to admire Mr Modi's campaign, calling it "one of the most ingenious election crusades in history". The Express Tribune is also impressed, saying that "Pakistan has a lot to learn from India, and from its execution of this paramount exercise of democracy, seamlessly and without blame and allegations. Hopefully, this is one area where it will choose to emulate its neighbour." In Sri Lanka, the Daily News says that the election shows "the Indian people's desire for a leadership that lives by the credo of CAN-DO". And in Bangladesh, the Daily Star says it looks forward to a "speedy resolution" of some of the unresolved issues between the two countries, such as water sharing. Some commentators in China pin their hopes on what they see as Mr Modi's adaptability. Jack Linchuan Qiu in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post says that despite Mr Modi's Hindu nationalist election rhetoric, "Chinese diplomats expect him and his Bharatiya Janata Party - known for its tough stance on China - to change course". Analyst Jiang Jingkui, in Jinghua Shibao (Beijing Times) speaks positively of Mr Modi, saying he "has a friendly attitude towards China" and that he is "good at adopting China's methods and ways". Another commentator in the same paper, Ling Shuo, says Modi has given hope to voters all over the country by his proven performance in his own state as chief minister. "When people compare their desires with reality, they realize that Gujarat is a microcosm of those wishes" coming true. Mr Modi's win also raises some hopes - mainly for India's economy - in the UK press. Amol Rajan in The Independent writes that "Modi might be a fine tonic for India, loosening the shackles of corruption, boosting growth from a meagre 5%, emancipating millions of workers - rural ones especially - from poverty, and stalling the sexually transmitted democracy of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty". But Amol Rajan also has reservations about Mr Modi being able to heal divisions in the country. "Any man who refuses to answer questions about his involvement in the Gujarat massacre of 2002, where he was chief minister, and who says he thinks of Muslim suffering much as he'd think of a puppy run over by a car, is betraying the legacy of India's founding fathers," he writes. The Guardian's Jayathi Ghosh also expresses unease, saying that "Corporate India and Hindu majoritarianism have won this particular round. But can they also reshape Indian politics, economy and society in this unpleasant image?" In an editorial headlined: "Will Narendra Modi become India's Putin?", the Washington Post wonders if Mr Modi will be a leader "whose economic ambitions are derailed by nationalism and authoritarian temptations". The US administration, the paper says, has "shunned" the Gujarat leader because of his behaviour during the anti-Muslim riots, and will have some catching up to do if it wants a meaningful partnership with India in the Modi era. The New York Times agrees, saying in its editorial that the two countries will have to work hard to overcome the "strain" built up by a "misguided" US-India civilian nuclear deal which failed to deliver on promises. "How he moves forward will matter to Indians clamouring for jobs and development, but also to others, including the United States, which sees India as a vital economic and security partner in Asia". It says that Mr Modi now has a chance to shape the way India engages with the world. " BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

Mr Putin will join his Finnish counterpart, Sauli Niinisto on Thursday in the picturesque lakeside town of Savonlinna - an area with plenty of history dating back to the Russian empire. The pair will take in a Tchaikovsky opera put on by Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre at a medieval castle, and go on a steam ship cruise on Lake Saimaa. But despite the chummy optics, observers expect the pair to have honest conversations about prickly issues, including military tensions between Russia and the West in eastern Europe. So where does Finland stand vis-à-vis its giant neighbour next door? While Finland shares a 1,340km (830-mile) border with Russia, its present relationship with the country is vastly different from that of Moscow's neighbours in the Baltics and Eastern Europe that fret publicly about Mr Putin's agenda in the region after the annexation of Ukraine's Crimea in 2014. Maintaining freedom from its powerful neighbour for a century has not been easy, and Finland has had to make sacrifices to survive. It fought two wars against the Soviet Union between 1939 and 1944, and lost territory as a result. During the Cold War, the somewhat derisive term "Finlandisation" was coined by West German scholars to describe how the northern European country adapted its policies to suit the Soviet Union while remaining officially neutral and keeping good ties with the West. Finland played a difficult game during that period, acquiescing to the Soviet Union in many respects and not challenging it but maintaining its independence and political system. Finlandisation is now commonly used to describe the situation when a small country allows its policies to be significantly influenced by a larger and more powerful neighbour. But despite its namesake, the term does not apply to the Finland-Russia relationship of today. Analysts say Finland is friendly with Russia but remains hard-headed and realistic. Russia and the West: A century of subversion and suspicion While Finland is not a member of the Nato military alliance that has sent thousands of troops to eastern Europe to reassure Poland and the Baltic states, it has been a member of the European Union since 1995. This clearly situates it well within the West, says Suvi Turtiainen, a journalist with the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper, who is currently researching Russian perceptions of Finnish independence. She says perceptions that Finland somehow sits in the middle between Russia and the West are misguided. "Finland has always supported the sanctions against Russia [imposed in the wake of the annexation of Crimea], even though it has had a significant effect on the Finnish economy and despite Russian tourism being really important in the eastern region," she says. And it has been a close partner of Nato since the 1990s - sending troops to operations led by the alliance in the Balkans and Afghanistan, and maintaining a relationship that is now said to be as close as it can be without Finland officially joining as a member. Yet at the same time "Finnish leaders and our current president want to keep dialogue with Russia, even through difficult times, and the dialogue is quite open and direct" including on the subject of Ukraine, says Ms Turtiainen. Finns on Russian border wary of Nato Norwegians laugh at new fence on Russian border Nato sends 'alive and strong' message from Estonia Indeed, President Niinisto told Russia's Tass news agency ahead of the visit that his communication with President Putin is "rather clear and frank", with the pair able to "discuss anything". And there is a sense among Finnish people, that this balance - despite regional geo-political events - is working well. A recent survey found that just 21% of Finns support joining Nato, while 51% oppose it, with the rest not giving an answer. Finns will go to the polls next year to elect a new president but the Nato debate, while always present, will not be a major issue, says Markku Kangaspuro, a Russia expert at the University of Helsinki's Aleksanteri Institute. "[The] wide consensus between leading politicians is that it is not timely to discuss this issue," he says. "Almost no one thinks it would [now] be time to apply as a member state." The Finnish public, he says, despite being alarmed for a time over Russian actions in Ukraine, now appear satisfied with the status quo. Finland country profile One reason could be that the Kremlin has made clear that any move on Finland's part to join Nato could invite a strong Russian response. "What do you think we will do in this situation? We moved our forces back [from the border], 1500km away. Will we keep our forces there?" President Putin told a news conference during a visit to Finland last July, according to Euronews. "How they assure the safety and independence of their own country is the Finns' choice. Undoubtedly we appreciate Finland's neutral status." Given widespread support for the existing state of affairs, Finland has not seen the same kind of political meddling that Russia has been accused of in many European states and the US, Mr Kangaspuro says. "Russia probably doesn't have any serious need or reason to try to interfere in our politics because our relations are as good as they can be in this situation." Emily Hughes, from Smethwick, West Midlands, was told by the Student Loans Company in April she could not be registered on its system. She has now sent them her passport in the hope of being recognised in time to study medicine in Birmingham. Miss Hughes, 18, said she was fed up with the way she had been treated. "It's been chaos," she said. "Just so much unnecessary stress and it's quite embarrassing as all my friends are sorted with their loans, but not me." When she applied for a loan in April, Miss Hughes was told she could not get a customer reference number because there was someone with the same name registered on the system. Although her name is not that unusual, Miss Hughes said she was surprised to discover there was someone who was also born in Birmingham on the same date as her. "I don't know anything about her," she said. "I'd love to meet her, but at the same time I wouldn't." Miss Hughes finds out if she has got her place at the University of Birmingham on 17 August, depending on her A level grades, and then she would need to enrol in September and pay £9,250. "I am now currently living with the fear of not having the means to finance my prospective degree. "I am appalled with the way this organisation functions." Student Loans Company said once her passport arrives her application will be processed. "We apologise to Miss Hughes for any distress caused as a result of the delay in processing her student finance application. "This was the result of a human error when transferring Miss Hughes' paper application to her online account." One man, who asked not to be named, contacted the BBC to say he fell victim to the same situation when trying to help his son get a loan last year. "I had to go on the website and put in my income details so that he could be means tested," he said. "It wouldn't let me register on the website. I rang them up and apparently there was already an account in my name. Same name, including middle name, same date of birth and same place of birth. "The only thing is I have never been to university and so never set up an account. It took many phone calls and a letter to prove who I was. Eventually it got put right but you do wonder." Rebecca Williams said she was "so proud" to have been the girlfriend of Cameron Logan, who died in the blaze at the family home in Milngavie. Hundreds of people attended a funeral service for Mr Logan, who was 23, at Clydebank Crematorium. His brother Blair Logan, 26, has been charged with his murder, along with other offences. A guard of honour was formed by Mr Logan's friends as the cortege arrived at the crematorium almost seven weeks after he died in the blaze. A Scottish flag was draped over the coffin and a piper played Highland Cathedral as the "proud Scot" was carried inside. His family issued a statement thanking "everyone who has helped at this difficult time", praising the actions of emergency services, neighbours and friends. Ms Williams, who is a broadcast journalist at Global Radio, was seriously injured in the fire and spent weeks in hospital. In an interview published by her employer, she paid tribute to Mr Logan. She said: "Cameron was a teddy bear. "He had such a big personality, but with a sensitive soul. And he was so funny and kind. "He had an amazing ability to make people smile and feel good about themselves. "He was always trying to improve himself and expand his horizons, something I really admired in him." Ms Williams said Cameron had completed university and had wanted to join the police to become a detective. She added: "I am so proud to have been his girlfriend. He was the love of my life." In addition to being charged with murder, Blair Logan faces two other charges - one of attempted murder, and one of assault to injury, danger to life and attempted murder. The clashes - involving nationalists - erupted after MPs gave initial backing to reforms granting more autonomy to rebel-held eastern Ukraine. The first death was reported after a grenade was thrown by a protester. A ceasefire agreed between Ukrainian government troops and the pro-Russian separatists is reported to be holding. Violence had escalated in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in recent weeks, but the two sides agreed last week that from 1 September all violations of a February truce would cease. A day after the clashes in Kiev, the government said it was boosting security in the capital, deploying 2,000 police and national guards on the streets and an armoured vehicle on four key routes in the city centre. About 140 people were injured in Monday's violence, more than half of them national guardsmen. The protest was organised by the populist Radical Party and ultra-nationalist Svoboda (Freedom) party - who oppose any concession to the separatists. Police have detained about 30 people suspected of involvement, including a Svoboda member who confessed to throwing a grenade. The suspect was identified as Ihor Humeniuk. Police say they will question Svoboda leader Oleh Tyahnybok and his top Svoboda colleagues. Meanwhile, the Radical Party has pulled out of the ruling coalition and joined the opposition MPs in parliament. The violence erupted after a rowdy parliamentary debate, and a first-reading vote to back the decentralisation bill. The bill grants more powers to rebel-held areas of Donetsk and Luhansk - a key condition in the Minsk ceasefire agreed with Russia and the rebels in February. Initially, there were only minor clashes outside parliament, but later small explosions and a much larger one later on - from a grenade. Addressing the nation late on Monday, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the violence was "a stab in the back". Svoboda accused the national guard and police of attacking the protesters, saying this had triggered the clashes. During the summer, fighting between Ukrainian army forces and the rebels has escalated. But the two sides agreed last week to halt the violence on 1 September, the day children in the region return to school. "As of 11:00 (08:00 GMT) 1 September 2015, both sides are fully respecting the ceasefire," said Dariia Olifer, a spokeswoman of former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma. Mr Kuchma is a member of the so-called Minsk Contact Group tasked with defusing the Ukraine crisis. Almost 7,000 people have died since the conflict in eastern Ukraine erupted. The separatists seized large swathes of the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions in April 2014, a month after Russia annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula amid international condemnation of the move. Moscow denies accusations by Ukraine and the West that its arms the rebels and sends Russian regular troops across the border, although the Kremlin admits that Russian "volunteers" are fighting alongside the rebel force in Ukraine. The 21-year-old, who has yet to play for the Baggies, spent last season on loan in League Two at Mansfield. "We feel he will settle into our football club very quickly," said U's boss Shaun Derry. "He compliments the players we already have in that department of the field, with his major attributes being his pace and power." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The Albatros aircraft suffered engine failure after it had performed a poppy drop in front of Prince Charles and other dignitaries in Longueval, France. It crashed in a field in Bethersden, near Ashford, at about 14:20 BST and ended up upside down. Kent Police said nobody was hurt in the crash. David Kember, duty controller at Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent, said the pilot had "tried to land in a field but caught a fence". He said the smash had caused "substantial damage to the plane's wings". Kent Police said the crash had been "passed to the Air Accident Investigation Board". Letterkenny 800m runner English's championship pedigree has earned him selection although he has not run the qualifying standard of 1:46.50. Galligan booked her spot by achieving the Portland 1500m standard last month. Reynolds was 0.01 seconds outside the Portland 60m hurdles mark recently but may qualify under the IAAF list system. Last year, the IAAF introduced a new system for their championships which saw some athletes narrowly outside qualifying marks having their entries accepted. After announcing the selection of English and Galligan on Wednesday, an Athletics Ireland statement said that there was "still potential for more names to be added to the squad" for the 17-20 March championships. Athletics Ireland confirmed to BBC Sport Northern Ireland that Holywood man Reynolds was the leading possible squad addition that they had in mind. Reynolds ran his new personal best of 7.73 when winning the Irish Indoor title in Athlone on 28 February, cutting 0.01 off his previous fastest time. However, his new best was still a frustrating 0.01 outside the world indoor standard so he is depending on good news from the IAAF in order to travel to Oregon. UCD medical student English added a European Indoor silver last March to the European outdoor bronze he won in 2014. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland trio Kevin Seaward, Paul Pollock and Thomas Frazer will be among a five-strong Irish challenge at the World Half Marathon Championship in Cardiff on 26 March. Seaward has probably done enough to secure a place in the Olympic Marathon in Rio as he is the fastest of several Irish qualifiers, with only three to make the trip. Pollock is currently fourth fastest of Ireland's Rio qualifiers, with Mick Clohisey and Sergiu Ciobanu also quicker on the clock than the Northern Ireland man. Medical doctor Pollock is using the Cardiff race as preparation for his London Marathon challenge on 17 April. Ciobanu and Sean Hehir will also race in the Welsh capital while Olympic qualifier Lizzie Lee will be sole Irish female hopeful. Fionnuala McCormack, meanwhile, will run the New York Half Marathon on 20 March before racing over 10,000m at Stanford on 2 April.

"We feel that it is in Asad's best interests, as well as those of the sport and the event itself," explained International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive David Richardson. The ICC declined to comment on what the police are reportedly investigating. Rauf, 57, has been on the ICC's elite panel of umpires since April 2006. He was one of the umpires in the controversial Indian Premier League match that saw Rajasthan Royals players S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan arrested for alleged spot-fixing. A former first-class batsman, Rauf began officiating in 1998 and stood in his first one-day international in 2000. He was elevated to the ODI panel in 2004, officiated in his first Test the following year and has now stood in 98 ODIs, 48 Test matches and 23 Twenty20 internationals. The 2013 Champions Trophy will be held from 6 to 23 June in England and Wales, with matches held at The Oval, Edgbaston and the Swalec Stadium.

Asad Rauf has been withdrawn from the Champions Trophy in June after media reports that the Pakistani umpire is being investigated by police in India.

It occurred during Slavia Prague's win at relegation-threatened FK Pribram. The FACR said fourth official Marek Pilny and additional assistant referee Jiri Jech would lose their licences and face disciplinary action. A statement said Pilny was "visibly drunk", adding that Jech had allegedly "urinated during the game". Pilny's actions were caught on video and posted on YouTube. The statement added that Pilny "struggled for balance" and "ran with the linesman copying his movements". FACR head Miroslav Pelta said "they were not tipsy, they were drunk" and "they don't exist for us any more". Pelta also said the game's referee and two linesmen would be suspended until the end of the season because they failed to prevent the situation.

Two match officials who appeared to be drunk during a top-flight game have been banned by the Czech Football Association (FACR).

Asked for his worst mistake while in office, Mr Obama named the failure to plan for the aftermath of Col Gaddafi's ousting as Libyan leader, which sparked years of instability that are only just showing signs of easing. Whether it be pride, a reluctance to show weakness or not wanting to hand opponents ammunition, such admissions do not come easily. They tend to come out of political necessity, when a president's term is coming to an end or, safer still, when they are out of office altogether. Even this apparent display of humility from Mr Obama, given as he considered his legacy, was qualified by his belief the intervention was "the right thing to do". Mr Obama's predecessor George W Bush said his biggest regret was the failure of intelligence over Iraqi weapons. Mr Bush's administration built the case for the 2003 war on allegations, later discredited, that the Iraqi government had still possessed weapons of mass destruction. But in the 2008 interview he would not say whether he would have decided to invade Iraq if he had known it had no weapons of mass destruction. And he added: "I will leave the presidency with my head held high." Since leaving office, Bill Clinton has said he feels a "lifetime responsibility" over the Rwandan genocide, which happened during his first term. On the 1994 bill that aimed at reducing crime by toughening sentences, but is now blamed for the disproportionate number of black and Hispanic people in jail, Mr Clinton said it had "made the problem worse". His most famous admission however came while still president in 1998, following months of denials that he had had an affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Amid the threat of impeachment, he owned up for the first time, saying: "I misled people, including my wife. I deeply regret that." It was something George Bush Senior did before taking office that he came to rue the most. Campaigning in 1988, he made the bold promise: "Read my lips: no new taxes." Of course it was not one he could keep. "I did it, and I regret it and I regret it," he said while seeking re-election in 1992. But the damage had been done, and a pledge that helped him win a first term hindered him from winning a second. Ronald Reagan made a memorable expression of regret over the Iran-Contra affair but was he saying the buck stops here, or simply passing it? The scandal surrounded the secret sale of US arms to Iran, then subject to an embargo. In return, administration officials hoped to secure the release of US hostages and fund right-wing rebels in Nicaragua. Just how much Reagan knew about it remains uncertain but when forced to address the matter in 1987 he said: "A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. "My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not." He went on to say he took "full responsibility" for his actions - but also expressed anger at "activities undertaken without my knowledge". Going back further still, in 1961 John F Kennedy faced a news conference days after the failed CIA-sponsored invasion at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. Despite saying he had no more to add on the debacle beyond an initial statement, a reporter asked about conflicting information surrounding a "certain foreign policy situation". "There's an old saying that victory has 100 fathers and defeat is an orphan," Kennedy said in his reply. That neither he nor his administration had anything more to say at the time was not to conceal responsibility, he said, because "I'm the responsible officer of the government". Admitting fault is a political minefield. As political scientist Daniel W Drezner wrote in the Washington Post last year, it brings few benefits: an admission is unlikely to change critics' minds and could damage supporters' confidence. While some commentators on the BBC website praised Mr Obama's candour, others said he should have chosen the healthcare reforms as the focus of his contrition: something he instead picked as a highlight of his presidency. And long before the 24-hour news cycle, presidents were careful when acknowledging faults. In a 1876 report on his presidency, marred by political and financial scandals, Ulysses S Grant said "mistakes have been made, as all can see and I admit it", according to Safire's Political Dictionary. Or in other words: "Mistakes have been made. But not necessarily by me."

"I never expected to compete at home in a UCI women's race - let alone as world champion," she told BBC Radio York. "It's my first race in the UK in the rainbow jersey and it'll be wonderful." Armitstead, who won the world title in Richmond, USA said the race was not on her original schedule for this year and her "main focus is Rio" for the Olympics road race as she tries to better the silver medal she won in the rain at London 2012. However, the 27-year-old added: "It's fantastic to have the opportunity to race at home so I wouldn't miss it. "There will be plenty of my friends and family watching so I have extra motivation to put on a good show. "Knowing the roads and the home support will give me an advantage - as well as being used to the Yorkshire weather that it sounds like we have in store for this weekend." However, despite the race featuring three categorised climbs, Armitstead says she expects the route to suit the sprinters such as Dutch rider Kirsten Wild. "My preparation for the race hasn't been as perfect," she added. "I'd planned a long time ago to take this week off the bike for other commitments, so I'm just hoping for a fast, aggressive race - but I'm not expecting to win." The winner of the women's race gets £15,000 - more than the winner of the men's race and £14,000 more than 2015 champion Louise Mahe. Defence lawyers said Michelle Carter's actions were "reckless", but did not rise to the level of criminality. The 20-year-old is charged with involuntary manslaughter for calling and texting 18-year-old Conrad Roy, urging him to take his own life. The prosecution rested its case on Thursday, saying her texts amounted to: "I love you. Kill yourself." Ms Carter's lawyer, Joseph Cataldo, argued on Friday that the state could not prove she caused Mr Roy's death. The attorney asked Bristol Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz to dismiss the case, citing a lack of "causation", but the judge disagreed. Prosecutor Katie Rayburn argued the causation came when Ms Carter told Mr Roy during a 46-minute phone conversation on the night of his death to "get back in the car", as it was filling with poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Ms Rayburn claimed that in the 20 minutes it took for Mr Roy to die, the accused could have sought emergency help. Mr Roy was found dead in his pickup truck in a K-Mart car park on 12 July 2014. On his phone were multiple messages from Ms Carter, including one saying: "You're so hesitant because you keep over thinking it and keep pushing it off. You just need to do it, Conrad." "Hang yourself, jump off a building, stab yourself I don't know there's a lot of ways," she said in several messages sent in the two weeks before his death, as he was on holiday with his family. Ms Rayburn also argued on Friday that Ms Carter, who was 17 years old at the time, took advantage of Mr Roy's struggles with depression and attempted to "isolate" him from his family. Video journals documented by Mr Roy have been shown to the court. He often discussed his "social anxiety", but at other times expressed hope for his future and job prospects. "I just got a job from the Boston Duck Tours to captain their boat," Mr Roy said into his home computer's camera. "Like that's a huge accomplishment." The prosecution said Ms Carter urged Mr Roy to kill himself in order to get attention as "the grieving girlfriend". But Mr Cataldo reminded the judge, who will be determining the verdict after Ms Carter opted to forgo a jury trial, that Massachusetts is one of about 10 states that do not criminalise assisted suicide. Her lawyers have argued that her words fall under free speech, protected by the first amendment of the US constitution. On Thursday, friends of Ms Carter testified about their conversations with her in the days after Mr Roy's death. In one text to a friend, Ms Carter wrote: "Sam, [the victim's] death is my fault like honestly I could have stopped him I was on the phone with him and he got out of the [truck] because it was working and he got scared and I f****** told him to get back in Sam because I knew he would do it all over again the next day and I couldnt have him live the way he was living anymore I couldnt do it I wouldnt let him." Another message to her friend, Alexandra Eitheir, stated: "I was on the phone talking to him when he killed himself. I heard him dying." She also contacted a friend when she learned that investigators were looking through Mr Roy's phone. "They read my text messages to him I'm done", the accused wrote, adding, "his family will hate me and I could go to jail".

He ensured three points for his side with a low finish after running clear. Jermain Defoe shot over for Sunderland, who are yet to win in the league under former Toffees manager David Moyes. With only one point from the first four matches, only Stoke's inferior goal difference keeps Sunderland off the bottom of the table. The victory was Everton's third from their opening four games and they climb to third. If there had been one negative during Ronald Koeman's impressive start as Everton boss it was the continued poor form of the club's formerly prolific leading marksman Lukaku. Since scoring twice in the FA Cup quarter-final against his former side Chelsea on 12 March, the 23-year-old had gone 1,139 minutes without a goal, despite 40 efforts. It looked as though it was going to be another frustrating outing for Lukaku, who saw a header tipped over by home keeper Jordan Pickford before poking Seamus Coleman's driving cross wide from eight yards during a first hour showcasing plenty of good intent but precious little execution to match it. However, once the home side had given him a helping hand by leaving him completely unmarked to head in the first from close range there was no stopping him. His second and third - the latter of which saw him latch on to Kevin Mirallas' ball before slotting in past Pickford - followed soon after as Sunderland's challenge evaporated in the face of a confident and composed away side. Lukaku could have ended the night with five goals but he struck the bar with one rising shot from inside the box and a second, similar effort was also too high. Media playback is not supported on this device In this fixture last year, Everton meekly surrendered in a 3-0 defeat - a result that sealed Sunderland's Premier League survival and finally convinced the Toffees board to end the managerial reign of Roberto Martinez. Martinez's successor has had just three months and four league games, but the team look more organised, more cohesive and more dangerous. Idrissa Gueye again showed what a shrewd signing he has been with a composed and controlled display alongside Gareth Barry in the centre of midfield, while Bolasie was a constant driving force on the wing, albeit with an inconsistent final ball. Dutchman Koeman also demonstrated his ruthless side by replacing the ineffectual England midfielder Ross Barkley with Gerard Deulofeu at half-time - a move that added a greater dynamism and threat to the Toffees attack. "I know the quality of players, we are very strong and had some good signings, I think Europe is a realistic target," the Dutchman told BBC Sport. "The start is very good but it is only after four matches." Media playback is not supported on this device Moyes appears to have a much tougher task on his hands at the Stadium of Light. For all of their endeavour, the Black Cats have now gone three Premier League games without having a shot on target in the first half. Only twice was Maarten Stekelenburg tested in the whole game - from a Lynden Gooch cross that was destined for the top corner and a Lamine Kone header from a corner. They were just as ineffective at the other end as Kone and Papy Djilobodji routinely failed to track the runs of Lukaku, allowing him all the time and space he needed to convert the chances that won the game. "It was too easy [for Everton]," Moyes told BBC Sport. "For us not to be in and around defending those areas [for the goals] I find hard to believe. "Jordan Pickford played well but we needed him to play well. It's tough putting together a relatively new team - but we never really got a full grip on the game." Moyes has reinforcements in the shape of new signings Mika, Jason Denayer and Didier Ndong - all of whom started Monday's game on the bench - but they will have to hit the ground running if the club are to avoid another relegation battle this season.

Officials said "an administrative measure" had been taken, but gave no reason why. Turkish media said authorities had asked Wikipedia to remove content by writers "supporting terror". Turkey has temporarily blocked social media sites including Facebook and Twitter in the past, usually following protests or terror attacks. The Turkey Blocks monitoring group said Wikipedia was unreachable from 08:00 (05:00 GMT). People in Istanbul were unable to access any pages without using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). "After technical analysis and legal consideration based on the Law Nr. 5651 [governing the internet], an administrative measure has been taken for this website," Turkey's Information and Communication Technologies Authority was quoted as saying, giving no further details. However, the Hurriyet daily newspaper said Wikipedia had been asked to remove content by certain writers whom the authorities accuse of "supporting terror" and of linking Turkey to terror groups. The site had not responded to the demands, Hurriyet said, and the ban was imposed as a result. Turkey Blocks and Turkish media, including Hurriyet, said the provisional order would need to be backed by a full court ruling in the next few days. It's become all too familiar here: the endless "loading" icon followed by the message "server timed out". Blocking websites is a common tool of the Turkish authorities: Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have suffered the same fate several times, and numerous anti-government sites are inaccessible. Critics say it smacks of Turkey's repression of free speech: over half of all requests to Twitter to remove content have come from Turkey, and the country now ranks 155 of 180 in the press freedom index of the watchdog Reporters without Borders. Social media was in uproar as news of the ban emerged, with some users speculating that it might be a bid to suppress criticism on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Wikipedia page. Mr Erdogan narrowly won a controversial 16 April referendum on increasing his powers, but the issue has deeply divided the country. One Twitter user noted that the Wikipedia page on Turkey's referendum has a section on "controversies and electoral misconduct", and cites claims that the government suppressed the No campaign through "arrests, control of the media and political suppression". The Turkish government has previously denied censoring the internet, blaming outages on spikes in usage after major events. Wikipedia has also faced censorship in other countries, including a temporary ban in Russia, and repeated crackdowns in China. Both keepers were called on to make good saves before Walsall's Anthony Forde rattled the bar from 20 yards. Gregory converted Jed Wallace's cross to put the Lions ahead before debutant Mahlon Romeo made it 2-0, beating Liam Roberts after a one-two with Wallace. Hopes of a Walsall fightback ended when Gregory ran onto Shaun Williams' pass to add Millwall's third. Millwall's unbeaten run is now up to five games, keeping them sixth in League One, only one point behind fifth-placed Coventry, while Walsall remain second despite their fourth home defeat of the campaign. The Saddlers had third-choice keeper Roberts making his debut in goal following injuries to Neil Etheridge and his deputy Craig MacGillivray. They then lost top scorer Tom Bradshaw to an early second-half injury, Walsall head coach Sean O'Driscoll told BBC WM 95.6: Media playback is not supported on this device "They're disappointed more with the scoreline than the way we performed. We got caught, I suppose, chasing the game that was always going to be reliant on whoever scored first. "It was always going to be a second ball game, them getting it forward early to (Steve) Morison and Gregory to play off that. "For a large part, we did really well, just couldn't quite get a goal - blocks on the line and hitting the post, hitting the bar, but their spirit was really good." Millwall manager Neil Harris told BBC Radio London: Media playback is not supported on this device "Walsall are a really good team, but the league table doesn't lie, especially when you get into February. "It was a stern test for us and we had to stay in the game at times and we had to dig in, we had to throw our bodies on the line and I thought we did that.

Rating: 7/10 Odds: 50-1 While the horror stories of the orphanages of 1990s Romania were widely publicised, the conditions facing children in neighbouring Moldova are not well known. Widespread poverty and a lack of basic social services are blamed for a situation which aid groups argue violates a child's right to a family, as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. In the capital, Chisinau, the institutions are surprisingly well maintained. From the outside, the one I was able to visit looked like a school, with plants and a play area, while inside there were pictures on the walls and toys on display. Yet the first thing you notice is how quiet it is: dozens of young children live in the institution, but you do not hear any noise. The toys are not being played with; instead children are lying in cots. In one room is a group of about a dozen toddlers. These youngsters rarely go outside, says Lavinia (not her real name), who works with Hope and Homes for Children, a charity that tries to return children to their families. Instead, the children spend almost all of their time in just two rooms. In the corner, a disabled child is left lying in vomit. No pictures indoors are allowed. The manager says there are not enough staff to take the children outside, although there appear to be more staff than children. Lavinia is clearly frustrated by the attitude, but there is little she can do, even though she is working with local authorities on reforming childcare services. "What we need is to inform and educate families," she says. "If we can develop family alternatives, this would prevent more children having to live like this." In another room, 10 newborns lie alone in cots. The institution's manager does not know their sexes. The standards are shocking for Sarah Butterworth, a UK mental-health specialist on children in care who is visiting at the same time. "[Knowing] how the brain develops in the first few months of life means I can only imagine the damage that is happening before our eyes," she says. Although basic needs appear to have been met, these do not look like valued children. Most of them are not even orphans; they have families but have been abandoned because of poverty and an outdated social reliance on state care. Moldova's Soviet legacy still remains, and reliance on the state care is embedded in people's attitudes and the law, according to Dr Delia Pop of Hope and Homes for Children. "For many, institutional care has become the only option," she says. "The irony is that it gets called 'childcare', even though this is one of the most damaging systems for children." The authorities accept changes are needed but say one of the biggest obstacles is the weakness of the Moldovan economy. "We want to reform institutions for babies and young children," says Svetlana Chifa, head of the Child Protection Department in Chisinau. Unemployment in Moldova is high and young adults often head abroad to find work, leaving their children behind to the state. They believe what they are doing is for the best. There is also the stigma of disability. A three-year-old I visited, who has been helped into a foster family, was abandoned simply because he was born without an arm. The situation is even harder in the breakaway eastern region of Trans-Dniester, which is technically part of Moldova but sees itself as a separate country. "Trans-Dniester has an attitude for independence, and has strong connections with former Soviet countries," says Dr Pop. This gives aid workers additional challenges in encouraging co-operation to get children out of institutions and back with their families. Visiting the region is like going back in time. Placing children in such institutions is simply firefighting an ever-expanding, complex social problem rather than offering a long-term solution for the many children within their walls, says children-in-care specialist Sarah Butterworth. Even when compared with children living in the most deprived of households, children in care are more likely to grow up as dysfunctional adults. "Years of research have shown the importance of family-based care and attachment, which children in institutions just aren't offered," she says. Developmental needs, attachment, love and consistency are overlooked. The authorities in Moldova acknowledge solving this problem is about changing ingrained attitudes and will not happen overnight, partly because many who work in such institutions have a vested interest in them remaining open. "People are cautious about changes," says Svetlana Chifa. "The institutions are their livelihoods and people could lose their jobs when they close." For the next 10 weeks, shoppers who do not bring their own bags to the shops in Aberdeen, Dundee and Norwich will have to buy a "bag for life" costing either 8p or 10p. It is part of a trial to further cut the number of bags in circulation. If successful, the withdrawal of 5p bags could be rolled out by Tesco in its stores across the UK. A Tesco spokesman said: "We are carrying out a short trial in a few stores to look at the impact on bag usage if we remove single-use carrier bags. "In these stores customers who need a bag can still buy a bag for life which they can reuse." Online customers will still be able to buy 5p bags, but Tesco said 57% per cent of them already opt for bag-less deliveries. In September last year, following an investigation by US regulators, VW admitted fitting the so-called defeat device on 11 million vehicles globally. The scandal has hit sales of VWs worldwide. The company has put aside billions of euros to deal with the fallout. The lawsuit, on behalf of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), was filed on Monday in a federal court in Detroit, Michigan. "The complaint alleges that nearly 600,000 diesel engine vehicles had illegal defeat devices installed that impair their emission control systems and cause emissions to exceed EPA's standards, resulting in harmful air pollution," the filing said. It also alleges that VW "violated" clean air laws by selling cars that were different in design from those originally cleared for sale by the EPA. "With today's filing, we take an important step to protect public health by seeking to hold Volkswagen accountable for any unlawful air pollution, setting us on a path to resolution," said assistant administrator Cynthia Giles for the EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. "So far, recall discussions with the company have not produced an acceptable way forward. These discussions will continue in parallel with the federal court action." The department said the filing was just the first step in "bringing Volkswagen to justice". The carmaker is also facing separate criminal charges, and a raft of class-action lawsuits filed by VW owners. The EPA says that VW fitted many of its cars with a device that was able to recognise test conditions and adjust the engine settings accordingly, with the express purpose of giving distorted readings on nitrogen oxide emissions. The company admitted to "totally screwing up", and there has been a shake-up in the management structure and personnel as a result. Martin Winterkorn resigned as chief executive and was replaced with Matthias Mueller, the former boss of Porsche. The carmaker is currently conducting an internal investigation that it says will "leave no stone unturned". The scandal has hit VW hard. It will begin recalling millions of cars worldwide soon, and has set aside €6.7bn (£4.6bn) to cover costs. That resulted in the company posting its first quarterly loss for 15 years, of €2.5bn in late October. With the lawsuits piling up, experts say the final costs are likely to be much higher than that. GPs have consistently pointed out to politicians that their services are on the verge of collapse, with practices threatened with closure. Now Patients in Practice, a group that gives its views to the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), has unveiled a manifesto to lay out what is important to those on the receiving end of GP care. The document says patients want timely, guaranteed access to a family doctor in their area and measures put in place to tackle waiting lists. David Keenan, the group's chairman, said its members "agonised" over what the manifesto should cover. He said several major issues - from disability care to mental health - were contributing to a "stressed, under-resourced and under-supported healthcare system". People should challenge prospective politicians on their views for the future of healthcare in Northern Ireland, he added. And he said that would help to "get the message across" that healthcare is "not a party political issue". "What I want the people out there to hear is: 'Talk to your politician,'" said Mr Keenan. "Ask them about your healthcare, ask them what they're going to do about it. "You are the expert in your condition - make sure your politician knows how much you're hurting and how much you need a healthcare system to help you now." It got heated - in more ways than one. Monday night saw one of the biggest election hustings events of the campaign so far, with a couple of hundred people packed into the Agape Centre on Belfast's Lisburn Road. It was organised by Challenges NI, the political discussion series founded by two students at Methodist College in the city, Thomas Copeland and Jack O'Dwyer-Henry. The crowd was so sizable that some people had to be seated in the foyer, and even with the windows open the room quickly heated up. And as the debate wore on, the temperature rose on stage, too, with the RHI scandal, abortion reform, the migrant crisis and Brexit all on the agenda. While invitations were extended to unionist parties, none of them accepted the chance to appear on the panel, leaving it somewhat left-leaning. Politics pupils Thomas and Jack organised their first hustings in the run up to last year's assembly election and hadn't expected to have to pull another one together quite so soon. Thomas has turned 18 and can vote for the first time in March, but 17-year-old Thomas will have to wait. They said people in Northern Ireland had "lost faith" in a Stormont system "that doesn't work for them", and there is "very little appeal" for the generation to remain in the region. "The idea of having a functioning political system and a government that doesn't constantly collapse and a political party system that isn't inherently dysfunctional is something that I would really hope Northern Ireland matures towards attaining," Jack said. But it remains to be seen whether or not the political system is up for change, Thomas said. "I'm a little bit cynical myself about the very way that our institutions are set up," he said. "But I hold out hope that we can resolve ourselves in a situation in the future where we're not looking back at the past with such disappointment." It's a debate that rages around every election - should the voting age be lowered? While young people in Scotland can vote when they reach 16 years old, those in Northern Ireland have to wait until adulthood. But that hasn't stopped politics pupils at Lismore Comprehensive School in Craigavon, County Armagh, from keeping an eager eye on the election campaign. Only a handful of them have turned 18 and are eligible to vote on 2 March, with others missing out by a matter of months. And they're adamant that they aren't too young to be trusted with a ballot paper. There's a feeling of frustration from those who haven't made it on to the electoral register because of their age. "We have to live with the consequences of this decision for the next few years, so we should, at least, have a say in it," said one 17-year-old. "It's very frustrating because I study politics, so I have a view of the different political parties and I don't get my chance to vote," one girl said. "I have more of a fresh overview of everything because I'm younger and I don't focus as much on the past." And another girl said that teenagers aged 16 and over should not be less "highly valued as everyone else just because we're younger". "We can get married, we can join the Army, but we can't vote for the type of place that we want to live in." For those who will have a say on polling day, there is a sense of anticipation as well as a recognition of the responsibility that comes with casting their vote. "It feels exciting but it's a tough, tough decision because I don't believe in any of them," said one first-time voting pupil. Those in the sixth-form politics class at Lismore believe that taking an active interest in the election is an important way to encourage political engagement in young people. They've been reviewing the parties' election broadcasts, casting a critical eye over what the leaders have had to say for themselves. And they'll also put their questions to candidates at a schools' hustings event next week before hosting an election of their own on the same day as the assembly poll. Surely there's nothing better than an election campaign to get rid of those few extra pounds picked up over the Christmas period? Party activists are pounding the pavements across Northern Ireland in the hunt for votes, clocking up hundreds of miles and burning off thousands of calories in the process. Alliance Party candidate Emmet McDonagh Brown is one of those who has been keeping track of his stats. With more than a week of the campaign remaining, he said he's walked 108 miles around his constituency on the election canvass so far. We'll be keeping an eye on which candidates are fleet of foot between now and polling day, and we want them to let us know their scores from walking door-to-door.

The move follows Partick Thistle confirming former club physiotherapist John Hart was dismissed after claims about him emerged in 1992. John Hart, who is now dead, also worked for Motherwell. Motherwell said Police Scotland and the Scottish FA were fully aware of the nature of the club's investigation. A statement from the Fir Park club said: "As a result of the extensive coverage relating to allegations of historic child abuse in football, the Directors of Motherwell FC began an internal investigation to ascertain whether it is possible any such incidents could have occurred at the club in the past. "Having spoken to a number of people who had connections to the club in the period covering late 1970s and 1980s, we have decided to widen the investigation and have employed a forensic accountant to assist us with the examination of employment records and club documents from the period." It added: "We have made both Police Scotland and the Scottish FA fully aware of the nature of our investigation. "We will continue with that process, but all information collated to date has been passed to the relevant authorities. The club will wait until the conclusion of the investigation before making any further comment. "In the meantime, Motherwell FC would urge anyone who may have been affected by abuse in football to contact Police Scotland or the NSPCC helpline (0800 0232642) set up to support and advise victims of abuse." Partick Thistle confirmed on Wednesday that John Hart was the subject of sexual abuse allegations in the early 90s. The club said: "As far as Thistle's current management can ascertain, no other allegations were made to the club at that time with regard to him or any other employee. "The club has contacted the SFA and Police Scotland to advise them of what they know to date and will fully comply with any investigation. "In the last 24 hours, we have been approached by an anonymous individual asking for advice on who to contact with concerns relating to historic events. No details were given. The club advised he ring the NSPCC hotline in line with SFA guidance."

No-one was available for comment at either the Beijing Games' organising committee or Disney. The official song is called "The Snow and Ice Dance" and here it is. Bottles were thrown at the crowd and security staff during the Varsity rugby event between the universities of Brighton and Sussex. According to the University of Sussex students' union a small number of spectators were injured. In a statement the Vice-Chancellors of both universities described the events as "shocking and disgraceful". It added that any students identified as taking part would "face serious consequences under our codes of discipline." Sussex Police said it was called to a report of a large fight, and that there were reports of bottles being thrown and a number of people being injured. A statement on the University of Sussex students' union website said "misogynistic, homophobic and racist language" was used at the event. As a result of the violence the men's rugby match was cancelled and students' union shops were temporarily closed. Zola Tongo conspired with two others to murder Mrs Dewani, 28, a Swedish national, during her honeymoon in 2010. Tongo said Shrien Dewani offered him about $2,100 (£1,340) to set up the carjacking and the court was shown CCTV of both men together the following day. Mr Dewani denies arranging the murder of his wife. Tongo had recruited Xolile Mngeni and Mziwamadoda Qwabe to carry out Mrs Dewani's killing in a staged hijacking, Western Cape High Court was told. As he was driving the Dewanis through Gugulethu township, the car was hijacked by men with guns. "The lady was crying," Tongo said. "There is nothing that I can remember what she said. Mr Dewani was trying to console her. "We were told to bow down and to put our heads down. We did that. We proceeded driving on that road, we arrived behind Gugulethu barracks where there is a stop sign. "As we had decided from the beginning that I would be the first person to be put out the car and the gentleman would be next. It happened like that at the stop sign. The door was opened from outside by Xolile. "They left me next to the road and they continued and turned right." The court was shown CCTV of Mr Dewani meeting taxi driver Zola Tongo the morning after Mrs Dewani was murdered. The video was taken by a camera in the hotel lounge where the Dewanis were spending their honeymoon. The footage showed Mr Dewani entering the room as Tongo sat on a sofa - the time in the corner of the picture read a few minutes after nine o'clock. Tongo pointed out that a member of hotel staff, who could be seen in the film cleaning a window, was asked by Mr Dewani to let him and Tongo have some privacy. The footage showed Mr Dewani talking to the man, who then left the lounge. Tongo told the court Mr Dewani had asked him "if the job had been done". The court was also shown another clip from CCTV footage, where Mr Dewani was carrying a white plastic bag. He is followed by Tongo into a room with no camera. The CCTV film then shows Mr Dewani emerging without the bag. Tongo claims he was being paid for organising Anni Dewani's murder. Earlier on Tuesday, gay escort Leopold Leisser was allowed to resume giving evidence after the relevance of his testimony was questioned on Monday. But this was halted a short time later when the judge ruled all discussions of a sexual nature were inadmissible. He said the prosecution could only ask when the two men met and had contact. Mr Leisser, also known as the German Master and who offers fetish services, had contacted a media outlet for which he was paid £18,000, the court heard. The prosecution argues Mr Dewani was leading a secret double-life and wanted out of his marriage, so arranged a staged hijacking in which he escaped and his wife was killed. Xolile Mngeni was sentenced to life in prison for Mrs Dewani's murder but died in prison, while Mziwamadoda Qwabe was sentenced to 25 years. Tongo was sentenced to 18 years following a plea bargain The trial continues. Sky won five of the seven TV packages on offer, but paid 83% more than it did in the last auction three years ago. However, shares in BT rose 3.65% after it paid £960m for two of the TV packages, 30% more than last time. Analysts at Jefferies said the outcome had been "sobering" for Sky, but "reassuring" for BT. Sky and BT paid a combined £5.136bn for the live TV rights deal - far in excess of what had been expected. Jefferies said the deal would be "challenging to explain" to Sky shareholders. "For Sky, a sobering result," Jefferies said. "Even with some claw back on costs/pricing, we expect [analyst] forecasts to move lower," it said. The price Sky paid per year was about £330m more than City analysts had predicted. Jefferies estimated that Sky would try to claw back about £200m a year through cost-cutting and £100m through incremental price rises. Analysts estimate that Sky Sports has about five million subscribers, out of a total TV subscriber base of between 10.5 and 11 million people. The BBC understands Sky plans to mainly fund its bid by taking costs out of its non-programming budget. Sports and entertainment programming will not be affected, but areas such as customer services will find efficiencies by moving more online rather than being focused on call centres, for example. Sky will also try to reduce the need for service visits by increasing the reliability of its set-top boxes, which are currently around 85% reliable, the BBC understands. Subscribers are also likely to face some price rises, analysts believe. Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown, said BT appeared to have got the better deal. "Sky has paid dearly and is going to have to squeeze costs and customers to keep its finances on track," he said. "BT has ended up with a good hand - Premiership, Champions League, FA Cup and European leagues, all for a fraction of the annual cost that Sky is paying for its Premiership position," he added. Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme that clubs reinvest TV rights money, "making sure the show stays as compelling and as interesting as it is". He said that money ultimately gets "redistributed right down through grass-roots football". Although only about 5% of Premier League funds eventually filter down to grass-roots level, Mr Scudamore said he was not in a position to guarantee that the 70% rise in the price of TV rights would be reflected in funding for grass-roots football. He said it did not make him uncomfortable that Premier League footballers earn up to £500,000 per week, or that clubs employed some staff on the minimum wage. "The reality is, just like in the film industry, just like in any talent industry, just like in the pop music industry, the talent, the absolute talent... gets paid a disproportionately high amount compared with other people that work in the business." "We're in the entertainment industry," he added. "The stars that grace the fields of football in the Premier League are world stars, it's a world market, and I don't set that market rate. It's set by the entire world market, and we, and the fans, want the best talent to come and play in the Premier League."

Governing body the FIA is to hold a meeting on 3 July to "further examine the causes of the incident to evaluate whether further action is necessary". The outcome will be made public before the Austrian Grand Prix on 7-9 July. Vettel was given a 10-second stop-and-go penalty and three points on his licence for driving into Hamilton. It is understood Hamilton's driving in the incident is not in question and the hearing will focus on Vettel's behaviour. The FIA warned Vettel after an incident in the Mexican Grand Prix last year - when he swore over the radio at race director Charlie Whiting - that he could face a tribunal in the event of any future incident of a similar nature. In Azerbaijan, Vettel accused Hamilton of 'brake-testing' - deliberately slowing in front of him - as they prepared for a re-start behind a safety car. Vettel then pulled alongside Hamilton and drove his car into the Mercedes so they banged wheels. Hamilton's car telemetry data was analysed by the stewards on Sunday and he was cleared of any wrongdoing. The four stewards in Azerbaijan spent some minutes contemplating what was the most suitable punishment for Vettel. They had no doubt Vettel had driven into Hamilton on purpose in a fit of pique. They chose the second-most severe form of punishment - a 10-second stop-and-go penalty. The only tougher option was disqualification which it was considered, on balance, Vettel's actions did not deserve. Some have argued the stewards got it wrong and Vettel should have been kicked out of the race. But it is also clear the penalty has appeared less severe because, as it turned out, Vettel ended up finishing ahead of Hamilton and extending his championship lead. The Mercedes driver had to pit to have a loose headrest replaced and came out of the pits behind Vettel. Had Hamilton not had this problem, he would have won the race with Vettel in fifth and the Mercedes driver would have taken the championship lead by three points, rather than seeing his deficit extend to 14. Insiders are suggesting that FIA president Jean Todt is perturbed by Vettel's behaviour. Only he has the power to call a new hearing, as has been done in this case. Vettel has an immediate problem in the wake of the three penalty points he was given in Baku in addition to the stop-and-go penalty. He now has nine on his licence - and 12 in a 12-month period means an automatic race ban. The first two of those nine points were for forcing Felipe Massa's Williams off the track at last year's British Grand Prix, so they are soon to drop off Vettel's licence - but not before the Austrian Grand Prix next weekend. So Vettel will have to avoid any further controversy at the Red Bull Ring or he could end up missing the British Grand Prix. Beyond that, this is the second road-rage incident from Vettel in the past eight months - the first being when, antagonised by the driving of Red Bull's Max Verstappen in Mexico, he swore at race director Whiting. He apologised to Whiting in person after the race and did so again in letters to both Whiting and FIA president Todt later that week. However, he was warned further action could be taken if he behaved in a similar fashion again and that is what has happened here. The red-flag period gave the race stewards in Baku the chance to properly analyse telemetry data from Hamilton's car. They looked at his behaviour at all three safety-car restarts and concluded the Mercedes driver did nothing wrong. The FIA said he did not brake or lift off excessively and maintained a more or less constant speed. The language in that statement leaves room for doubt as to whether Hamilton slowed down before Vettel hit him. Some on social media have reacted to on-board video from Hamilton's car, claiming telemetry graphics indicated he did brake shortly before the initial impact, and used it as evidence that Vettel was right to accuse Hamilton of 'brake-testing' him. But the video does not show this. Close analysis of the footage shows Hamilton is slowing as he approaches the apex of the corner, and keeps the brakes on lightly past the apex. His minimum speed is 51km/h as he exits the corner. But he has come off the brakes and is coasting before Vettel hits him. At this point, Hamilton was preparing for the restart, and managing his gap to Vettel while bunching up the pack, trying to ensure he had the most advantageous position. As the leader, that is his prerogative. The FIA says there was no heavy braking or anything contrary to the rules. As one senior source said: "Seb was not expecting it and he should have been. He accelerated anticipating Lewis would too. But Lewis had a clear view of the safety car ahead of him with its lights off. Why would he accelerate? He wants to get a gap (to the safety car), plus it's his right to control the pace." Former F1 driver and David Coulthard agreed, saying in his Channel 4 commentary: "Hamilton hasn't accelerated then decelerated, he has kept a constant pace. Sebastian has misjudged it and then in his anger made contact with Hamilton. "I don't think there is any part of that you can point a finger at Hamilton and say he has done something wrong. Vettel was anticipating what he would do, forgetting the fact the lead car can control the pace." The eventual race winner, Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, also backed this view.

Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel could face further punishment for his collision with Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

A University of Cambridge study devised psychological tools to target fact distortion. Researchers suggest "pre-emptively exposing" readers to a small "dose" of the misinformation can help organisations cancel out bogus claims. Stories on the US election and Syria are among those to have caused concern. "Misinformation can be sticky, spreading and replicating like a virus," said the University of Cambridge study's lead author Dr Sander van der Linden. "The idea is to provide a cognitive repertoire that helps build up resistance to misinformation, so the next time people come across it they are less susceptible." The study, published in the journal Global Challenges, was conducted as a disguised experiment. More than 2,000 US residents were presented with two claims about global warming. The researchers say when presented consecutively, the influence well-established facts had on people were cancelled out by bogus claims made by campaigners. But when information was combined with misinformation, in the form of a warning, the fake news had less resonance. Fabricated stories alleging the Pope was backing Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton sold weapons to the so-called Islamic State group were read and shared by millions of Facebook users during the US election campaign. The world's largest social network later announced new features to help combat fabricated news stories, and there is pressure on Google and Twitter to do more to tackle the issue. Meanwhile, German officials have reportedly proposed creating a special government unit to combat fake news in the run-up to this year's general election, while a senior Labour MP only last week warned that British politics risks being "infected by the contagion". The deliberate making up of news stories to fool or entertain is nothing new. But the arrival of social media has meant real and fictional stories are now presented in such a similar way that it can sometimes be difficult to tell the two apart. There are hundreds of fake news websites out there, from those which deliberately imitate real life newspapers, to government propaganda sites, and even those which tread the line between satire and plain misinformation, sometimes employed to suit political ends. The rise and rise of fake news

The appearance of fake news on websites and social media has inspired scientists to develop a "vaccine" to immunise people against the problem.

Sears, 58, coaches Ana Ivanovic and was watching her match with Madison Keys on Rod Laver Arena. The match was suspended for an hour before resuming. Murray was not made aware of what had happened as he was playing Portugal's Joao Sousa at the time. Sears later told the BBC he hoped to be released from hospital on Sunday. Immediately after his four-set win, Andy Murray left the venue, along with his mother Judy, to visit his father-in-law in hospital. Sears' daughter Kim is not in Melbourne in support of Murray as she awaits the birth of their first child in a few weeks' time. Ivanovic, the 20th seed, was a set up when the incident occurred and went on to lose 4-6 6-4 6-4 to 15th seed Keys. Sears is in his second spell working with Ivanovic after he was reappointed the Serb's coach in July last year. He has previously worked with Daniela Hantuchova and Amanda Coetzer and was also captain of the British Fed Cup team. It is the second time this week that one of Ivanovic's matches had been suspended due to an incident in the stands. Her second-round match against Anastasija Sevastova was held up for 26 minutes when a woman fell in the stands at the same showcourt.

Andy Murray's father-in-law Nigel Sears is being treated in hospital but says he is "feeling fine" after collapsing at the Australian Open.

The plan includes lowering the age limit for presidential candidates, creating a strong vice-presidency and extending the presidential term. The opposition sees the vote as a move to cement the powers of the first family, with Mr Aliyev's wife and 19-year-old son seen as potential heirs. The ruling party dismisses the claims. The constitutional changes would also create other vice-presidential posts and enable the president to dissolve parliament at any time. The referendum comes after dozens of opposition activists were arrested in the oil-rich former Soviet state. One of President Aliyev's main opponents, Ilgar Mammadov, leader of the pro-Western opposition party ReAL, and other pro-democracy activists are still in jail. "With this referendum he [President Aliyev] wipes out all obstacles in the way of his family members to come to power," says Ali Kerimli, chairman of the opposition Popular Front Party. But Aydin Mirzezadeh of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party says the authorities "have no such plan". "These are rumours and fabrications about members of the ruling family," he told the BBC. However, many citizens think differently. They watch state-controlled TV, where politicians suggest the first lady as the most suitable candidate for the vice-presidency. "We are establishing a monarchy," one Baku resident told the BBC. Mr Aliyev himself was caught on camera smiling and clapping when a cotton worker suggested that 19-year-old Heydar Aliyev be president - but only after "a 90-year-long rule of President Aliyev". Azerbaijan - which hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 and its first Formula 1 race this year - has seen one family in power for 23 years since 1993. Ilham Aliyev in effect inherited power from his late father Heydar Aliyev in 2003. If these changes are implemented, and he is re-elected in 2018 elections, Mr Aliyev will be able stay in power until at least 2025. That is because one of the changes is to extend the presidential term from five to seven years. Corruption, economic difficulties and job losses as a result of decreasing oil revenues have increased dissatisfaction with the government. A Yes vote in the referendum will give President Aliyev more power to control discontent. There have been protests with slogans "No to monarchy!" in past weeks and dozens of people were arrested. Thousands attended the protests that were estimated to be the biggest in recent years.

Azerbaijanis are voting on whether to boost the powers of President Ilham Aliyev, who has ruled since 2003 and cracked down on dissent.

Cardiff-born Reyaad Khan, 21, and Ruhul Amin, 26, from Aberdeen, died in August in Raqqa, alongside another fighter. Relatives of Khan in Bangladesh confirmed the relationship between the two militants, and said Khan, who was thought to be planning an attack on the UK, had been brainwashed in Britain. They told the BBC the family was shocked by his decision to join IS. They also said prayers had been said for the men at mosques in their village in north-east Bangladesh. Khan was killed in a precision strike on 21 August by a remotely-piloted aircraft, while he was travelling in a vehicle. Initial reports said Khan was killed by a US drone strike, but earlier this month, Prime Minister David Cameron announced it had been a British operation. The strike on Khan was "the first time in modern times that a British asset has been used to conduct a strike in a country where we're not involved in a war", the PM told the House of Commons. Khan had been plotting "barbaric" attacks on "high-profile public commemorations" in the UK, he said, and the attack was a lawful "act of self defence". Two years ago MPs rejected possible UK military action in Syria, but last September approved British participation in air strikes against IS targets in Iraq only. Senior politicians and human rights groups raised concerns about the legality of the unprecedented drone strike, and called for the House of Commons Intelligence and Security Committee to investigate. Family friends of Khan, along with Muslim leaders in Cardiff, have asked for proof of his involvement in plots to attack the UK. Fiona Parry, 40, was airlifted to hospital in Stoke-on-Trent and is in a coma with life-threatening injuries. Sylvan Parry, 46, was remanded in custody at Caernarfon Magistrates' Court and is due at the town's crown court on 14 September. The alleged incident took place at about 09:00 BST on Thursday. There was no application for bail at the 11-minute hearing. A 6-0 aggregate win over Linfield ensured the Scottish Premiership champions progressed to face Rosenborg in this year's third qualifying round. Celtic reached the group stages last season, but not without dramas against Astana and Hapoel Be'er Sheva. "A year down the line, we go into these games with real confidence," Rodgers told BBC Scotland. "We expect to play well and work hard. "There are always tense games, but we're home first, we want to push and see if we can take a lead to Rosenborg. It will be tough." Celtic carried a 2-0 first-leg lead into the game against Linfield at Celtic Park, and added to their advantage after just four minutes through Scott Sinclair. The home side dominated the game, but spurned chances and found Linfield goalkeeper Roy Carroll in good form. Celtic's high-tempo play was eventually rewarded, with Tom Rogic, Sinclair again, and substitute Stuart Armstrong scoring in the second half. "We played well, our positioning in the game was much better than the first leg," Rodgers said. "We spoke about that building into the game, we got in between them. The counter-pressing to win the ball back was excellent. "Across the two legs, 95% of the game was probably played in the final third. Roy Carroll has made some incredible saves, but we get four goals, upped our fitness, and showed some fantastic moments of football throughout." Olivier Ntcham, Celtic's £4.5m signing from Manchester City, made his debut and was impressive in midfield alongside captain Scott Brown. "It's just time [that Ntcham needs]," Rodgers said. "It's such a long season and we don't want to break anyone at this period. "He's been in for a week and a half. We're trying to build a squad for a lot of games, and he's top-class. He'll get fitter as the season goes on." Rodgers visited the Linfield dressing room after Wednesday's game to speak to the visiting players. "It's never easy coming here, we've seen other teams suffer," the Celtic manager said. "I'm very much Northern Irish and I always like to see my fellow guys do well. "They've fought over two legs and they've had an experience that will live with them for the rest of their lives." The pair, both in their 30s, were removed from the plane when it arrived at City of Derry Airport earlier on Wednesday. It followed a request from the pilot of the 06:55 BST flight. The pair were released several hours after being arrested on suspicion of endangering an aircraft. In a statement, Ryanair said: "The crew of this flight from London Stansted to Derry requested police assistance upon landing in Derry, after two passengers became disruptive in-flight, who were removed and detained by police. "We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority. " The move comes after a pilot programme in 500 stores this summer that tested a new accounting system. A Walmart official said the employees affected by the changes would have the option of moving into jobs serving customers if they chose to stay. Walmart, the largest US employer, has been trying to increase the number of staff who deal with customers. "This is about simplifying how stores work, there are a number of initiatives that are designed to get more associates in front of our customers," said a representative for Walmart. The changes will be rolled out over the rest of this year and into 2017. Walmart said employees who stayed with the company would have a choice of jobs, depending on their availability in the stores. This could mean a change in pay or hours for those staff members. Walmart, which has been the target of trade union protests over low pay for the past few years, raised its minimum pay rate to $10 per hour earlier this year and changed its scheduling system to improve staffing at peak hours. Vascular dementia is caused by problems with the blood supply to the brain and affects more than 18,000 people in Northern Ireland. There are currently no licensed medicines to treat it. The Queen's University, Belfast, trial is investigating whether a drug called amlodipine has a beneficial effect. Amlodipine is a common blood pressure medicine that could become the first ever treatment for vascular dementia, if the trial is positive. Professor Peter Passmore from Queen's University said: "The trial will be crucial in establishing whether amlodipine improves patients' symptoms and quality of life, by delaying progression of the disease," he said. "Amlodipine is already used to treat other conditions, like high blood pressure, so could quickly become available for subcortical ischaemic vascular dementia if proven to be effective and safe. "We are calling on local people living with vascular dementia to take part and help find the first ever treatment for the disease." The British Heart Foundation (BHF) Northern Ireland and the Alzheimer's Society are together funding over £2.25m for the Queen's University researchers to carry out the clinical trial.

She now has more than 30 world records to her name and has won more than 750 gold medals. Olga took up athletics later in life at the age of 77. When asked what her secret is, she says there isn't one. She said: "I think your age is just a number. It's not your birthday, it's how you age which makes the difference."

Photograph courtesy of Alex Rotas He was speaking after the first meeting of a new committee made up of the devolved administrations, chaired by Brexit Secretary David Davis. He said could not understand why more information was not being shared with Stormont, Edinburgh and Cardiff. First Minister Arlene Foster said it was a first meeting in a long process. Northern Ireland Secretary of State James Brokenshire denied the government was holding anything back and described it as a constructive meeting. The committee will meet again in London next month. Control Techniques' third facility in Newtown has been officially opened by First Minister Carwyn Jones. The company already employs about 500 people in the town. Control Techniques, which makes drives for a variety of machines, received Welsh government funding. Seven-year-old Carwyn Scott-Howell, from Talybont-on-Usk, Powys, died while on a family holiday in the French Alps earlier this month. It is believed he fell to his death after getting separated from his family at the resort of Flaine, 38 miles north west of Chamonix. The inquest is being held in Newport. 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." Merseyside Police PC Jonathan Webb, 48, was in a patrol car with colleagues last December when a Tesco manager asked them to help his guard nearby. A disciplinary panel found him guilty of gross professional misconduct and gave PC Mark Higgins a final warning. The hearing was told the officers had been discussing their Christmas party. Two others who also faced the disciplinary hearing in Wavertree, PC Paul Birch and PC Joanne Parr, are to be given "management advice." The officers were discussing an incident at the Christmas works party before driving off, the tribunal heard. PC Birch, 36, previously told a disciplinary hearing he did not hear Tesco manager David Markey requesting help from his front seat passenger PC Webb as they were flagged down in Dale Street. They were all yards away from security guard Shaun Rigby as he apprehended Roy Fagan, 31, a shoplifter. Fagan later admitted assault and stealing £4.62 of whisky. The interaction between the officers and Mr Markey was said to have lasted nine seconds. PC Webb said he did not realise the seriousness of the situation, and told the man he did not have the correct kit, and to call the police later. CCTV played to the panel showed Mr Rigby struggling with Fagan. Celia Hatfield used Your Questions to ask: "What happened to the memorial bench in Church Road, Malvern Link?" The bench remembered Private Norman Caswell Sayer, whose mother lived in adjoining Lower Hoswell Road. Local handyman Jon Burgess said he took the bench for repair: "The aim is to have it restored and back where it belongs by April 2017." In July, the Malvern Gazette called for help to repair the bench. "We've got the basics done and I've got the backing of a number of local people to supply the traditional materials and their skills to complete it," said Mr Burgess. Born on 22 September 1887 in Shareshill, Staffordshire, according to Remember The Fallen. A 1901 Cencus shows his family moved to Wells, Somerset. In 1904, he and his sister Isabella were sent to Canada as part of the Homes for Children scheme. He became a farmer in Canada before he was enlisted for war with the 10th Canadian Mounted Rifles in 1915. He was awarded a badge for Good Conduct in January, 1917. In April 1917, he was killed in action at Vimy Ridge, France. Mr Burgess said the repairs were taking "a long time" because they were using materials and techniques in keeping with the antique bench. "It just seemed rather sad, nobody seemed to know much about why the bench was there," he said. "His mother lived at Lower Hoswell Road and the bench is on the corner of that and Church Street. "He died fighting for us so I think it's the least we can do to remember him properly." This story was inspired by Celia Hatfield who asked: "What happened to the memorial bench which used to be in Church Road, Malvern Link?" Have you got a question about Hereford & Worcester? Use the tool below and we could be in touch and your question could make the news. The ride-sharing company said it will run trials in the US city of Dallas and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The flying electric taxis are being developed with aviation companies including Embraer and Bell Helicopter. While the technology is largely unproven, Uber believes the service will eventually cost about the same as its car rides. Expanding on ideas first published in a white paper last October, the company said the electric vehicles will take off and land vertically like a helicopter, with zero emissions and minimal noise. In a statement, Uber added the goal was to "enable customers in the future to push a button and get a high-speed flight in and around cities." Being able to fly over congested urban areas could cut down a commuter's journey dramatically. While it may sound more like science fiction than reality, the company is targeting the 2020 World Expo in Dubai to launch the first Uber Elevate Network demonstration. And Uber hopes to have its flying taxi service transporting customers as soon as 2023. It is already investing heavily in self-driving cars, and is facing an intellectual property lawsuit over that technology. Not content with its land-based ride service, the company believes its vision for flying taxis will make air transportation a part of our daily lives in the future. But it will first need to convince passengers and aviation authorities that the technology is safe, and there are still huge questions over how to regulate both the testing and introduction of the technology. The county are in the process of obtaining the required planning permission for the project. Khan has previously stated the club's aim to renovate the ground over a three-to-five year period. "We've started the process now," Khan told BBC Radio Leicester. "There's £500,000 available from the ECB to support that in terms of installation. Durham recently added lights to their Chester-le-Street home, opening up new international cricket opportunities and enabling day-night games. "We're moving forward in terms of getting planning permission, how many floodlights we need - we've had that assessment done and we need about six floodlights putting in," Khan added. "If the T20 gets moved a bit later in the summer, then it will give us a longer period to get those lights installed." It is among a package of measures being unveiled this week by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg at a London summit. New guidance about the practice will be part of compulsory training in public sector organisations. Advice about FGM is already issued to many staff but professional bodies have called for a different approach. The partial or total removal of external female genitalia is illegal in the UK but the practice occurs in parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Mr Clegg will tell the Girl Summit being hosted by the government and the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef): "Without the right knowledge, skills and experience, people feel like they don't have the cultural understanding and authority to even talk about this practice honestly, never mind intervene when they're worried someone is vulnerable." He will say: "Female genital mutilation is one of the oldest and the most extreme ways in which societies have sought to control the lives and bodies of generations of young women and girls. "We're currently failing thousands of girls... central to tackling it are the doctors, nurses, teachers and legal professionals who need to be equipped to identify and support young women and girls at risk." Female genital mutilation Source: World Health Organization Dr Peter Carter, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing, said: "Controlling the lives and bodies of young women and girls through FGM has no place in modern Britain. "The RCN has worked with the government on the development of training and guidance to help equip frontline staff with the skills they need to tackle this most sensitive of issues." Louise Silverton, director for midwifery at the Royal College of Midwives, welcomed the government plans but said they had to be backed up with "resources and commitment" to ensure staff have access to the training. Earlier this year, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said school staff needed more training to help them identity and protect girls at risk. The trunk road drops from 150m (492ft) to 20m (65ft) as it enters a valley at the Berriedale Braes. Transport Minister Derek Mackay has confirmed that a number of objections have been received to the initial proposals for the improvements. Last month, Caithness Chamber of Commerce said it was taking too long to agree a plan of action. Transport Scotland said it was continuing to progress the design work. The A9 provides a link to the far north mainland coast and the ferry services at Scrabster, Gills Bay and John O'Groats to Orkney. The firm had already reduced Galaxy Note 7 production volumes. Owners are expected to be able to return the phones for a refund or an exchange for a different Samsung phone. The firm had earlier said it would stop sales of the phone. "We recently readjusted the production volume for thorough investigation and quality control, but putting consumer safety as top priority, we have reached a final decision to halt production of Galaxy Note 7s," the company said. "For the benefit of consumers' safety, we stopped sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note 7 and have consequently decided to stop production." Samsung Note 7 catches fire in hotel room Samsung Note 7 flames out: Experts react Timeline: Samsung's Note 7 woes Cellan-Jones: Samsung's burning issue Earlier, consumer tech analyst Caroline Milanesi of Creative Strategies told the BBC that Samsung should "call it a day" on production of the Galaxy Note 7 to limit long-term risk to the brand. However, South Korea's finance minister had warned that the country's exports would be hurt if the phone model was scrapped. In September, Samsung recalled around 2.5 million phones after complaints of exploding batteries. It later insisted that all replaced devices were safe. However, that was followed by reports that those phones were catching fire too. A Kentucky man said he woke up to a bedroom full of smoke from a replaced Note 7, days after a domestic flight in the US was evacuated after a new device started emitting smoke in the cabin. Even as late as Monday evening, a spokeswoman insisted the phones were safe to use. But on Tuesday, the company said it would stop Galaxy Note 7 production. Authorities in the US and South Korea are investigating why even the replacement Note 7 phones that Samsung equipped with a safer battery reportedly caught fire. An official at the South Korean safety agency said the replacement phones might have a defect that was different from the problem with the original Galaxy Note 7s. Samsung could suffer "a considerable loss of consumer faith," said Greg Roh at HMC Investment Securities. "If it's once, it could be taken as a mistake. But for Samsung, the same thing happened twice with the same model," he said. "The reason consumers prefer brands like Samsung and Apple is because of product reliability. So in this case, brand damage is inevitable and it will be costly for Samsung to turn that around again." At least five fires were reported in replacement devices in the US. Samsung said it had sold about 45,000 Note 7s through pre-orders in Europe. The handset was never released for sale in the UK. Analysts are suggesting the recall and now scrapping of the Note 7 could cost Samsung in the long run, particularly coming just as rivals including Google and Apple have announced new high-end smartphones. Richard Windsor, from Edison Investment Research, said: "As a result of making a complete mess of the Galaxy Note 7 recall, Samsung is more likely to lose a large number of high-end users to other Android handsets rather than to Apple. "The real issue is brand and reputation. As long as Samsung carried out the recall smoothly and kept users very happy, the issue would eventually blow over. "Unfortunately, this is very far from the case, and the fact that Samsung appeared to still be shipping defective devices could trigger a large loss of faith in Samsung products." Dwayne Humphrey, from Dromore, County Down, was left unfit for work following the injury in 2009. He sued his previous employer, Aegis Defence Services Ltd, for £2m, but three court of appeal judges rejected his claim on Thursday. They said the security company could not have been expected to do more to protect him from injury. The London Court of Appeal heard that a group of workers were asked to carry a man on a stretcher in a simulated combat exercise. But the court was told that within 10 metres of starting the stretcher carry, a "puffing, wheezing and panting" Iraqi interpreter dropped his corner, "wrenching" the 32-year-old's shoulder. "Mr Humphrey picked up his end to complete the exercise and the interpreter was ordered to carry on alongside the stretcher, touching it, and even leaning on it to assist himself," his lawyer said. Mr Humphrey claimed the Iraqi should never have been included in the exercise. But Lord Justice Moore-Bick said the simulation had been a test to ensure interpreters were fit enough, meaning some were bound to fail. The court heard Mr Humphrey was an ex-Marine and working in close protection services when he suffered the injury. His job involved escorting contractors in the Project Matrix reconstruction programme in Iraq. Mr Humphrey was earning £80,000 per year at the time, but was so badly injured that he will never be fit to return to his former job. He sued the company last year but his case was rejected by a judge and fought on at the Court of Appeal. Giving his verdict, Lord Justice Moore-Bick, sitting with Lord Justice Richards and Lord Justice Floyd, said it was important that interpreters were fit enough. "They could come under fire or be subject to IED explosions, so would need to be able to withdraw quickly," he said. "Given the importance of the use of Iraqi interpreters and of their integration into contractors' teams and the modest degree of risk involved, it seems to me impossible to say that Aegis were at fault." The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 0.05% lower to 17,663.2 points, while the Nasdaq closed 0.4% lower, to 5,053.8 points. Chevron was one of the biggest winners, up 1.11% to over $90 a share. AB InBev was up 1.4% to over $119 a share after operating profit jumped. The brewer also gave encouraging guidance on revenue, ahead of its $105bn (£70bn) agreed merger with rival SABMiller. The S&P 500 index closed lower 0.48% to 2,079.36 points. Shares in Exxon Mobil closed up 0.74% to $82, after reporting results which were slightly better than expectations. Shares in troubled Canadian pharmaceutical company Valeant closed almost 16% lower, as action continues over allegations from investor and researcher Citron over Valeant's involvement with "phantom pharmacies". Denny Solomona crossed to put Tigers ahead, but James Donaldson went over to level the scores before half-time. Jake Webster drove over for Castleford after a scrum deep in Rovers territory, before Josh Mantellato touched down to reduce the deficit to two points. Webster scored again to extend the lead to six, but Mantellato's second try and successful conversion secured a point. In wet and windy conditions, the visitors looked to have the game won until Mantellato's last-minute effort. The Italy winger went over just inside the touchline, before he struck a difficult kick through the uprights to level the scores. Rovers, who secured their Super League status by topping the Qualifiers table in 2015, matched the visitors throughout the game, but fell behind three times after they failed to deal with attacks down the left wing. Tigers could have sealed the win when Solomona was held up by Ben Cockayne moments before Mantellato went over, but Daryl Powell's side were forced to settle for the draw. Media playback is not supported on this device Hull KR head coach Chris Chester: "Considering Josh Mantellato's only got one eye that's open he did a fantastic job at kicking that goal. "I was pleased with the defensive side of the game but we were a long way off where we needed to be with the ball. "I'm really proud of the resilience and toughness of the boys. From one to 17 the effort was first class." Castleford head coach Daryl Powell: "I have to give credit to Hull KR who have copped a load of stick in recent weeks. "We were just a bit dumb; we had the game. It was pretty tight all the way through in real tough conditions. "I thought we worked really hard but a couple of brain explosions from some players hurt us. "We need to pick ourselves up and be a fair bit better than that. That was a disappointing effort today." Hull KR: Sio; Cockayne, Minns, Thornley, Mantellato; Blair, Kelly; Tilse, Lawler, Allgood, Horne, Clarkson, Greenwood. Replacements: Mulhern, Donaldson, Green, Boudebza. Castleford Tigers: Dorn; Monaghan, Crooks, Shenton, Solomona; Roberts, Gale; Millington, McShane, Cook, Holmes, McMeeken, Jewitt. Replacements: Boyle, Milner, Moors, Webster. He said UKIP would then have a "legitimate voice" in Scotland. During the speech, Mr Farage described First Minister and SNP leader Alex Salmond as a "fanatical EU federalist". He challenged Mr Salmond - who said UKIP had been "humiliated" before in Scotland - to a debate on independence. The MEP, who was in Edinburgh to back the party's candidate David Coburn at a rally, predicted that UKIP was on course to win one seat in the European Parliament in Scotland, adding that "if things go really well, possibly even two". Addressing the first minister, Mr Farage said: "Mr Salmond is pretty scared of us. He's not not scared of the size of us at the moment, but he is very scared of the argument." Mr Farage, whose party is not currently represented at any level in Scotland, told the rally that Scottish people think they have a referendum on independence "but they haven't". He accused Mr Salmond of wanting Scotland "to be part of the European Union - and you cannot be an independent, self governing, democratic nation, and be member of a club whose laws are supreme over yours". The UKIP leader argued that the whole of the UK should be independent, with devolved powers to each part. About 200 protesters and supporters of Scottish independence turned up at the launch venue to protest against the UKIP leader where they booed and heckled UKIP supporters as they arrived. The BBC's political correspondent in Scotland, Glenn Campbell, said a small group of UKIP supporters told him they had been unable to get into the rally because of the protesters. UKIP won 0.91% of the vote across Scottish regions in the 2011 Holyrood election. Rocking Horse Day Nursery in Warmley, near Bristol, had its eviction notice extended in October to allow for a search for a new site. But owner Julia Davies said 20 jobs and 70 nursery places were now at risk after a planning wrangle over an alternative site. South Gloucestershire Council said it had suggested other options and was supporting the nursery's search. The family-run nursery has operated out of its Grange School site for 25 years but the council wants the land back. It had wanted to build on land at the nearby Sir Bernard Lovell Sports Centre but says the council has refused the move due to concerns over parking. Mrs Davies said she was "devastated" at the news and "extremely disappointed to be back to square one". A spokesman for the council urged parents concerned about finding a new nursery place to contact them. Nicky Morgan said many were concerned about what would happen to rural primary schools under the plan. Other MPs wanted to have more details of the academy conversion process. But Ms Morgan said she was confident the proposals, outlined in a White Paper, would go through - despite some opposition from within her own party. Last week, some Conservative backbenchers raised doubts about the government's plan to force all schools in England to become academies. MPs expressed concerns about the lack of choice and fears for the implications for rural schools. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live on Tuesday, Ms Morgan said colleagues had raised some important issues. But she maintained repeatedly that there was "widespread support" for the academy plans. "What I do know is that there is widespread support on Conservative benches - and elsewhere I might add - for schools becoming academies," she said. "Now this is a White Paper, it's perfectly legitimate for Members of Parliament to ask questions, to clarify how our proposals are going to work for schools in their area, how it ties in with other reforms we're making, like changes to the national funding formula. "Rightly we will, of course, continue discussions about specific elements of the White Paper, but yes, I'm absolutely confident there is very, very broad support for our policy of schools becoming academies." Ms Morgan said education was "the great transformer" and said the White Paper was "about a lot more" than academy conversions and also focused on standards and finding good teachers. "We all want to end up in the same place, which is great schools for our children." If the plans become law, all state schools in England - both primary and secondary - would need to become an academy by 2020 or have plans in place to become so by 2022. Taken aback by the strength of feeling from both Tory councillors and backbenchers, ministers are looking at where they can persuade or cajole, and where they might need to quietly give ground. The two main hurdles are the outrage of councils that can point to solid evidence they're doing a good job, and the future of small rural schools. What you might call the Hampshire problem and the Norfolk problem, although there are plenty of other examples. Read more: Academies - a turn or a wiggle? Academy status, introduced by a Labour government, was originally reserved for schools in urgent need of improvement, but since 2010, schools have been encouraged to convert and have been given extra funding for doing so. Currently, 2,075 out of 3,381 secondary schools are academies, while 2,440 of 16,766 primary schools have academy status. Several deaths in Northern Ireland have been linked to drugs in the past fortnight. Dr Michael McKenna said GPs are under pressure. "The difficulty with the services is they are so overwhelmed that they cannot cope with the deluge of stuff that's coming in," he said. "The money is one part of the equation, but actually physically the number of bodies on the ground to provide these services is also an issue. "It can't just fall to GPs, we are already under tremendous pressures." Dr McKenna told BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme that the number of his patients who had died due to drug addiction in the last 10 years would be "into double figures". More people in Northern Ireland die from drugs than those in road fatalities, according to the PSNI. The latest figures released last month show there were 74 fatalities as a result of road crashes in 2015, but 88 opioid-related deaths in the same year. Those drugs include heroin, morphine, methadone, as well as prescription drugs such as tramadol. William Burns' son, Jamie, died last November after taking one pill on a night out. "Anybody out there thinking drugs are good, if they had have been with me that night and saw my son on that trolley - blood on the floor, he had needles in his arms, he had tubes coming out of his mouth, he had his eyes taped and you could physically see the life draining away from him," said Mr Burns. He said later a doctor "knelt down in front of the two of us and he just said 'look I'm sorry, I don't know how to tell you this, but he's gone'. "You want the ground to open and just swallow you up." Mr Burns is now involved in a campaign called #onepillwillkill to highlight the dangers of drugs. "You could have taken 10 pills before it, over a period of weeks and been fine, and you could just take this one pill [which could kill you]," he said. "I'm 110% sure that if my son had realised the consequences of taking one pill, he wouldn't have done it." Surrey added 32 runs in four overs in the morning to declare on 266-7, with Ben Foakes ending unbeaten on 65. Middlesex slumped to 82-5 chasing an unlikely 389 to win, as Zafar Ansari took 4-63 including Nick Compton (22). But Bailey (110 not out) and James Franklin (70) shared a sixth-wicket partnership of 174 as Middlesex secured the draw on 278-6. Middlesex are now 13 points clear of second-placed Somerset, who beat Durham inside three days on Saturday. Surrey's maximum bonus points means they take a healthy 13 points from the game and are now 23 clear of the relegation places, although they have played a game more than Nottinghamshire and Hampshire. Middlesex lost half their wickets with only 82 on the board and looked in real trouble. Compton, playing his first Championship game since being omitted from England's Test team in June, spent nearly an hour and a half at the crease before being stumped by Foakes off Ansari. Bailey hit 20 fours in his 199-ball unbeaten knock to complete his first century for Middlesex and ensure a 13-point lead at the top. Ministers will let local authorities bring forward council tax rises, and money cut from a housing scheme will be spent on social care instead. The government said it would create a "sustainable" system for everyone who needs social care. But the Local Government Association said the measures "fall well short". LGA chairman Lord Porter said an "urgent injection of genuinely new additional government funding" was needed. He said the council tax change would help some areas in the short-term but not be "anywhere near enough" to relieve pressure on the sector, adding that it would "add an extra financial burden on already struggling households". He said changes to the New Homes Bonus, which rewards councils for building new homes, were "not new money but a redistribution of funding already promised to councils". Communities Secretary Sajid Javid unveiled the measures as he set out the local government finance settlement in the Commons. He said the settlement, which governs how councils in England will be funded, "recognises the cost of delivering adult social care and makes more funding available sooner". Mr Javid told MPs the two measures would mean £900m extra for local authorities over the next two years to fund social care services. But the cash was described as "a drop in the ocean" by the Care and Support Alliance of charities, while the president of the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives said: "Simply robbing Peter to pay Paul will not tackle a systemic funding problem." You stay in your own home while getting help with everyday tasks such as washing, dressing and eating. average amount of care provided per week, by your council average paid per hour by your council, 2014-15 average paid per hour in your region if you pay for your own care, 2016 You live in a care home that provides round-the-clock support with everyday tasks. TBC pay for their own care You live in a care home which provides round-the-clock support for everyday tasks and nursing care. Depending on your medical needs, the NHS may contribute to your costs. TBC pay for their own care Savings, investments and income are assessed, along with the value of your home - unless you or a close relative live there. On Wednesday, it emerged the government would offer councils an increase in the extra council tax they can impose to cover social care costs. This was confirmed by Mr Javid, who said local authorities would be permitted to increase council tax by up to 6% over two years, ringfenced for social care, with a maximum of 3% each year. The 6% previously had to be spread over three years. A 1% increase would raise an estimated £200m, although the effect would vary across the country. In total, about £19.7bn will be spent on social care in England this year. Mr Javid added that more money was "not the only answer", saying some councils needed to work harder to reduce delays in discharging people from hospital beds caused by a lack of available social care. Responding to Mr Javid, shadow communities and local government minister Gareth Thomas said the local government settlement would "leave people paying high taxes for worse public services". He urged the government to reconsider a planned corporation tax cut in order to plug the social care funding gap. Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston, who chairs the Commons Health Select Committee, welcomed the government measures but said they did not go far enough to address the increase in demand, urging ministers to start cross-party talks "urgently". Former health minister and Lib Dem MP Norman Lamb, who has been calling for more investment in adult social care, described Mr Javid's statement as "feeble". But the government says it is investing in social care through its Better Care Fund, as well as taking steps to more closely integrate health and social care provision. Council tax accounts for only about half of local authority income - the rest coming from central grants, which are being cut, and business rates, which are volatile - so it is unclear by how much care budgets will rise. The numbers of elderly people going without care, paying for it themselves or relying on family and friends currently outstrip those getting council help by four to one. The head of the NHS in England has suggested free bus passes and pension benefits for older people may have to be reconsidered to address the problems facing social care. Appearing before MPs on Thursday, Simon Stevens said a sweeping new "social contract" was needed setting out the "full range of services and needs that people have in retirement", predicated on the right for people to receive care in their homes. "There is no point in saying to our parents 'yes you've got a free bus pass if you're not able to leave the house because you don't have the availability of a home help," he said. A plant pest that causes potato blight spread to Ireland in 1845 triggering a famine that killed one million people. DNA extracted from museum specimens shows the strain that changed history is different from modern day epidemics, and is probably now extinct. Other strains continue to attack potato and tomato crops around the world. The fungus-like infection causes annual losses of enough potatoes to feed hundreds of millions of people a year. A team led by The Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich, traced the global spread of potato blight from the early 1800s to the present day. Until now, it has been unclear how early strains of Phytophthora infestans are related to those present in the world today. Source: BBC History Researchers in the UK, Germany and the US analysed dried leaves kept in collections in museums at Kew Royal Botanical Gardens, UK, and Botanische Staatssammlung Munchen, Germany. High-tech DNA sequencing techniques allowed them to decode ancient DNA from the pathogen in samples stored as early as 1845. These were compared with modern-day genetic types from Europe, Africa and the Americas, giving an insight into the evolution of the pathogen. "This strain was different from all the modern strains that we analysed - most likely it is new to science," Prof Sophien Kamoun of The Sainsbury Laboratory told BBC News. "We can't be sure but most likely it's gone extinct." The researchers believe the strain - HERB-1 - emerged in the early 1800s and continued to spread globally throughout the 19th Century. Only in the 20th Century, after new potato varieties were introduced, was it replaced by another Phytophthora infestans strain, US-1, which is now dominant around the world. The research, published in the new open-access scientific journal, eLife, suggests crop breeding methods may have an impact on the evolution of pathogens. "Perhaps this strain became extinct when the first resistant potato varieties were bred at the beginning of the 20th Century," said Kentaro Yoshida from The Sainsbury Laboratory. "What is certain is that these findings will greatly help us to understand the dynamics of emerging pathogens. This type of work paves the way for the discovery of many more treasures of knowledge hidden in herbaria." Commenting on the study, Professor Sir David Baulcombe of the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Cambridge said it shows how we can use herb specimens to track biodiversity. "It might be a revival in the fortunes or relevance of dried plants," he said. "It illustrates very nicely the arms race over pathogens and their host." Phytophthora infestans - which causes potato blight - emerged in the US in 1844, and spread to Europe the following year. The summer of 1845 was mild but very wet, giving the perfect conditions for the blight to spread. The failure of the crop in Ireland - which relied heavily on potatoes as a food source - led to the deaths of about a million people from starvation and disease between 1846 and 1851. The crash happened on the Old Carrick Road in Newtownabbey at about 18:35 GMT on Saturday. Ambulance crews took two of those injured in the crash to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital and two to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. Another person was taken to Antrim Area Hospital. Police have sealed off the road and it is likely to remain closed overnight. Diversions are in place on the Doagh Road and the Monkstown Road. Penny Jackman, who represents Pennington ward on New Forest District Council, was sued by Mike Beggs following the incident in 2012. Mrs Jackman has been ordered to pay £14,992 damages and to cover Mr Beggs' legal bill, expected to exceed £80,000. The GoFundMe fundraising page has raised £275 in its first five days. The incident, in 2012, was reported to have begun as an argument about UKIP election leaflets. Mrs Jackman, who lives in Pennington, said last month a judge ruled she did not act in self defence. "As yet [there is] no timescale of when I will actually have to pay the money, but sooner rather than later would be my guess," she wrote on her online appeal page. "We live in a modest two- bedroom home, there would not be enough left over to buy another home and stay in the same area. My husband is a postman, we are not wealthy people." Mrs Jackman is also a member of the New Forest National Park Authority and a councillor for Lymington & Pennington Town Council. He was interviewed by the Christian Broadcasting Network days after his much anticipated meeting with Mr Putin at the G20 summit in Hamburg. The US president also said he was sure Mr Putin would have preferred Hillary Clinton was sitting in the White House. Several investigations are under way into allegations Russia helped get Mr Trump elected. Mr Trump has denied any knowledge of this and Russia has also repeatedly denied interfering. On the meeting with Mr Putin, Mr Trump said "people said, oh, they shouldn't get along. Well, who are the people saying that? I think we get along very, very well. "We are a tremendously powerful nuclear power, and so are they. It doesn't make sense not to have some kind of a relationship." Mr Trump cited the recent ceasefire in south-western Syria as an example of how co-operation with Mr Putin worked. Mr Trump also used the interview to pour cold water on the notion that Russia conspired to get him elected - quite the opposite, he maintained. Russia preferred Hillary Clinton, his Democrat rival, he said. Why? "If Hillary had won, our military would be decimated," he said. "Our energy would be much more expensive. That's what Putin doesn't like about me. And that's why I say why would he want me?" The US president earlier defended his son Donald Jr over a meeting he had with a Russian lawyer in 2016 at the height of the presidential campaign. Mr Trump's son met Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in New York in June 2016. Mr Trump Jr had been told that she would offer Russian-linked information which would put Hillary Clinton in a bad light. Critics accuse Mr Trump Jr of intent to collude with the Russians, and believe he may have broken federal laws. But others dispute this. Donald Trump tweeted that his son was "open, transparent and innocent". He also told Reuters he was unaware of the meeting and only learned of it two days ago. Mr Trump Jr himself told Fox News the meeting was "such a nothing", but he accepted he should have handled it differently. He has released a series of emails in which he was told he would receive "very high level and sensitive information", to which in response he said "if it's what you say I love it". Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied any link to the Russian lawyer, and Ms Veselnitskaya herself has said she was never in possession of information that could have damaged Mrs Clinton. Some groups walked more than 100 miles (170km) to reach the island off the Northumberland coast. Each group carried a large wooden cross to the island, which was once home to St Cuthbert and where the world famous Lindisfarne Gospels were created. Once on the island the wooden crosses are decorated as part of traditional Easter celebrations. The Northern Cross pilgrimage started 40 years ago with a group walking from Penrith in Cumbria. Co-ordinator Ellie Feline said: "It might often be thought pilgrimage is a historic activity, yet Christian pilgrimage is very much alive, demonstrated yearly by the five million people who go to Lourdes, or the 200,000 who walk the Camino di Santiago. "Northern Cross is another example of this. A combination of walking holiday and retreat - on pilgrimage we are removed from many trappings of modern living, and just require whatever can be carried in a small bag. "It's a chance to mirror life, to step back and look to see what is really important." A monastery was founded on Lindisfarne in 635 by King Oswald but was attacked in 793 by the Vikings in their first major raid on the British Isles. It delves into grassroots football, social media and fan ownership. It looks back at what was and looks forward at what might be. It examines the rise, and prejudices, faced by women's football and the fantastic irony of, in a male-dominated landscape, Scotland's women's team being closer now to reaching a major championship than their male equivalents. For a nation that produced so many world-class players down the years, Scotland is now down to just one - and it's a woman, the brilliant Kim Little. Episode four begins with Paul Lambert in Dortmund and how apt that is, given the events in Barcelona on Tuesday night. In 1997, Scot Lambert was a Borussia Dortmund player under Ottmar Hitzfeld. He won a Champions League medal after beating Manchester United, home and away, in the semi-final and then overcoming Juventus 3-1 in the final. His job that night was to neutralise Zinedine Zidane - and he was magnificent. Listening to Lambert makes you wonder when a Scot will elevate himself to a similar position - the cutting edge of the European game, going toe-to-toe with one of the sport's greatest talents and beating him in the biggest final in club football. The story moves on to Martin O'Neill's Celtic and their thrilling ride in the Uefa Cup of 2002-03. Times have changed so profoundly since then. It's like looking back into another world when a Scottish team travelled more in expectation than hope. Celtic lost a European final, 3-2 in extra-time, to Jose Mourinho's Porto, a side that would win the Champions League the following year, and O'Neill remains a ball of angst about it. On Tuesday, Celtic lost a Champions League group game 7-0 to Barca. In the new world of football, where Barcelona can construct arguably the greatest attack in the history of the game and pay them a combined salary of 700,000 euros per week, the new Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers, had to rationalise it. He had no option. There was no rationalisation in 2003. Celtic were good enough, and wealthy enough, to compete. Everything is different now. Media playback is not supported on this device The chances are that the next time Scotland qualifies for a major championship it will be the women who take them there. And yet the women's game gets short shrift from the media and the public. Scotland's Game has a section on what it was like for women footballers in war time. When the men were away, the girls were allowed to play. When the men came home, normal footballing service resumed. Women were banned from playing matches at men's clubs. Incredibly, the ban remained in place until the early 1970s. There has been advancement from those sexist days, but sexism remains a factor. That's why the appointment of Shelley Kerr as manager of Lowland League side, Stirling University, in 2013 created such headlines. Kerr speaks with authority; she's broken through, but she does not see a cavalry of women coaches on the horizon. Ann Budge's arrival as owner at Hearts - and chief executive Leeann Dempster's progression from Motherwell to Hibernian - is something that would not have seemed possible 30 years ago. Had you said at the conclusion of 'Only A Game', the documentary covering Scottish football's narrative up to 1986, that two women would be calling the shots at two of Scotland's biggest clubs there would have been hilarity and uproar. And yet there they are. Budge continues to hold a mirror up to the Scottish game, asking people to make sense of some of the things that go on. Budge and Dempster are now on the board of the Scottish Professional Football League. Many bad things have happened in this 30-year journey, but that's some of the very best things. The passage of time has seen the rise and fall of the fanzine culture, supporters now finding a voice in the digital world where once it was all pen and paper. Social media has changed the game, but has the game changed with it? John Collins speaks about his time as Hibs manager and that glorious League Cup final day in 2007 when his winning side were serenaded by their supporters singing the Proclaimers' 'Sunshine on Leith'. That scene has lost none of its power to stir the blood. For Collins, there was added poignancy. He had lost his father only a few months before the final. Media playback is not supported on this device Having learned a new philosophy in his two years as a player with Monaco in France, Collins proposed change at Hibs. New ways of training, new diets, new thoughts about sports science, a whole new picture. It caused problems and he left. At the conclusion of Scotland's Game he's still talking about change and how people are scared of it. "People don't like being outside their comfort zone," he says. Most people will accept that change needs to happen in Scottish football, but we talk and talk and nothing gets done. Blueprints, commissions, master plans. Summer football, winter breaks, fewer professional teams and bigger top leagues. We go round in circles. There is a battle to be won for the future of Scotland's game, but one has to wonder who, precisely, is fighting it. Too many in power seem happiest when fighting each other rather than fighting together. Never, at any point in its history, has Scottish football been more in need of true leaders. The fourth episode of Scotland's Game airs on BBC One Scotland on Thursday 15 September at 21:00 BST and will be available to view via the iPlayer after broadcast. An employment tribunal has heard details of infighting at the Wrexham-based British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC). Former acting assistant chief constable of north Wales, Steve Curtis, allegedly swore at and threatened a colleague. He is claiming unfair dismissal. The tribunal in Chester was told Mr Curtis, of St Asaph, Denbighshire, resigned from his job as human resources director at the Rossett charity - which has 145,000 members - just as he was about to be dismissed in May 2016. It heard claims he clashed with north of England regional director Alasdair Mitchell at a staff meeting in October 2014 and said: "I swear I will kill you." The tribunal was also told Mr Mitchell resigned in December 2015. Richard Ali, who was chief executive, and Gary Ashton, another former senior police officer and director at the BASC, were both subsequently suspended and remain so. Mr Curtis said he was assessed as "outstanding" during his time at the association, adding that he could not remember threatening to kill Mr Mitchell. "I was mortified when I later discovered what I had apparently said," he said. But Mr Mitchell claimed he had been "a source of a number of difficulties from an operational and HR perspective". Two separate inquiries were held, one of them by independent solicitors Hill Dickinson, which both exonerated Mr Curtis. Mr Curtis said a refusal by the charity's council to accept the findings of the independent investigations convinced him he had no choice but to resign. "I am still the victim of a continuing campaign to damage my reputation," he added. The hearing is expected to last several days. Aqib Mazhar, of Russell Road, was stabbed in the chest on the street where he lived on 1 June and died from a single stab wound in hospital. His car was blocked in by three vehicles, trapping him as he came under attack, police said. The four men, aged between 18 and 24, from Nottingham and Derby, all pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Over weeks animosity grew between Mr Mazhar and a group of men and it culminated that evening, the court heard. At the sentencing at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday, Judge Stuart Rafferty told the offenders Mr Mazhar's death was "wholly needless". Mohamud Alasow, 18, of Hamilton Road, Nottingham, was jailed for 10 years and six months. Junaid Farrukh, 21, of Heathermead Close, Oakwood, Derby; and Mohammed Qasim, 24, of Staindale Drive, Aspley; were both sentenced to nine years and 11 months in prison. Qamran Ahmed, 21, also of Staindale Drive, received a seven-year sentence. The men were initially on trial for murder, but the charge was changed to manslaughter during the two-week trial last week. Mobile phone footage thought to show one of the defendants as Mr Mazhar killer was reviewed and revealed a fifth person, who is on the run, carried out the fatal stabbing. Judge Rafferty said: "This is not a murder case, none of you stabbed Aqib... the murderer is still at large. "The tragedy of this case is that all four of you know perfectly well who stabbed Aqib, but you have done nothing to speak out to put Aqib's family at their ease." Det Ch Insp Rob Severn, of Nottinghamshire Police, said the investigation and the hunt for the person who fatally stabbed Mr Mazhar was continuing.

Captain Mark Byrne and top scorer Scott Boden are two of six players who have been offered fresh terms but have yet to put pen to paper. "There are deadlines there," said Feeney. "If you want to play for this club then you want to sign what's been offered, you take it. "If you don't then you move on." The futures of Alex Rodman, Danny Holmes, John Christophe-Ayina and Medy Elito are also in doubt. So far just defender Darren Jones has committed to a new one year contract while Andrew Hughes rejected his offer to sign for League One side Peterborough. Football League rules state that players must notify clubs in writing within a month whether they intend to accept their terms, with County having released their retained list on May 10. Midfielder Byrne has been linked with a reunion with former Newport manager Justin Edinburgh at Gillingham after similar speculation during the January transfer window. Feeney accepts the longer the situation is drawn out, the more likely it is that Byrne and others could leave when their current contracts expire at the end of the month. "That could be the case," Feeney added. "At the end of the day I can't sit and wait, I'm talking to people. "We'll see where there are but if they wanted to sign contracts, get it over the line and get it done. "They'll wait so I'm in a position where I can wait. "I'm talking to people and the deadline is coming up so we're going to have to possibly move on." Feeney is confident of securing a further three new signings in the coming weeks. Midfielder Joss Labadie became their fourth addition this summer joining Scot Bennett, Mark Randall and Jamie Turley in signing two year contracts to move to Rodney Parade.

Manager Warren Feeney has told Newport County's out of contract players to "sign what's been offered" if they want to stay at the club.

Media playback is not supported on this device Despite losing 2-1 to England, Chris Coleman's side beat their neighbours to the group's summit with an impressive 3-0 dismantling of Russia. Playing in their first major tournament for 58 years, Wales face Northern Ireland in the last 16 on Saturday. "Obviously you come to the tournament for one reason. To win," said Bale. He continued: "Not to play three games and go home. The ultimate goal is we want to try and win the tournament. "It's a cliche but we'll take each one as it comes. Yes we would love to win it, but all our focus now is on Northern Ireland." Bale had stoked the fires ahead of Wales' defeat against England, claiming they were prouder and more passionate about representing their country than Roy Hodgson's men. Despite the defeat by England, Wales finished top of Group B thanks to their victory over Russia and England's goalless draw with Slovakia - giving Coleman's side a favourable draw for the knockout stages. The eight teams on Wales' side of the draw have no major international honours between them, whereas the other side - featuring Spain, Germany, Italy, France and England - boasts 20 titles. Wales would face Hungary or Belgium in the quarter-finals if they were to beat Northern Ireland but, despite revelling in finishing above England, Bale is not looking too far ahead. "It is a moral victory for us, bragging rights to finish top. It is always nice to get one over on the English," he said. "We can't think about Belgium. We know our side of the draw. Maybe it is more favourable. But it is not favourable if you don't get through." Wales' match against Northern Ireland will be just their second in the knockout stages of a major tournament, with their last being a quarter-final defeat by Brazil in the 1958 World Cup. Before their match against Russia, the squad watched BBC Wales' documentary 'Wales: The Road to the Euros', which charted the national side's long and painful wait for an appearance at an international competition. According to Bale, the programme resonated with the current squad, who have enjoyed a remarkable rise in recent years. "It's an amazing feeling in the camp. We've not just been working on it two years," he added. "It's been since we were all young boys, playing together. I was 16, some were 17, 18," he added. "We've come through a massive journey. We've been in some bad places, we were 112th in the world. "Now we're in the last 16 of the Euros. These days are to enjoy, some of the others not so much."

Gareth Bale says Wales have the belief to win Euro 2016, after claiming a "moral victory" over England by finishing top of Group B.

Monsoor "Moz" Hussain, former head teacher at Park View School, is alleged to have allowed this to happen. He and four other senior Park View staff all deny unacceptable professional conduct. The Birmingham school was investigated amid claims of a Muslim hardliners' plot to take over several schools. It is claimed Mr Hussain allowed pupils to be subjected to unusual, and disproportionate punishments, including "being made to stand in the rain" and "being made to stare at bushes", the National College for Teaching and Leadership panel in Coventry heard. Also accused are: They all face a common allegation they agreed to the inclusion of "an undue amount of religious influence in the education of the pupils" at Park View, and, for some of the accused, the other sister schools. Mr Saini is alleged to have advised a teacher, who was under a police caution for having "extreme pornography" on his mobile phone, to throw it in the canal. He was also accused of not taking action when another teacher is said to have claimed that "We have the true religion." Mr Faraz is alleged to have used the word "kuffars", in reference to non-Muslims "in a derogatory manner" and also to have told Park View pupils, in or around May 2013, that people in Guantanamo Bay were innocent. It is also claimed he submitted a dishonest statement when he denied knowledge of a WhatsApp social media group, the "Park View Brotherhood". Ms Clark is similarly accused but she, through her legal counsel, said she accepted "in part" one fact of the case levelled against her. Katie Langdon said: "Lindsey Clark does not accept it was unusual or excessive punishment, but accepts some pupils were placed in detention, and accepts they have to look out towards bushes." The hearings are scheduled to last until December and may hear from former Park View pupils. The "Trojan Horse" allegations sparked several investigations including one by the Department for Education. Park View was placed in special measures by Ofsted, and is now known as Rockwood Academy. Nansen Primary and Golden Hillock were also put into special measures. Darren Pidgeon, 29, required skin grafts to repair third degree burns to his face and body. Basildon Crown Court heard there was "no obvious reason" for the attack in Thundersley, Essex, in June 2014. Ashley Russell, 30, of Basildon, and Christina Storey, 32, of Rayleigh, each deny throwing a corrosive liquid. More on this and other stories from Essex Opening the trial, prosecutor Greg Unwin said Mr Pidgeon had stopped at traffic lights when he noticed a red Rover, driven by Ms Storey, pulling alongside him. As he pulled away, the Rover drove in front of him although it was not a "near miss", he said. Mr Pidgeon then drove into Kingsmere, a residential cul-de-sac, to turn around and as he went to reverse a car pulled in behind him. "He was essentially trapped, blocked in by this other vehicle," said Mr Unwin. "The prosecution say this is the same car. A passenger of the red car then got out and ran round to Mr Pidgeon's door, where he had the window wound down, and he said words to the effect of 'have you got a problem?'" It is alleged Mr Russell then sprayed the victim in the face and also punched him in the head. "Darren Pidgeon was in excruciating agony, his eye was watering, some of the substance had gone into one ear," said Mr Unwin. "He was confused and disorientated. Mr Pidgeon has no idea why he was attacked. "As the liquid started to burn into his skin in his face, his arm and the side of his body, he screamed in agony." Residents gave him water to wash his eyes before ambulance crews and police arrived moments later. Tests showed the acid had a pH level of one, indicating "extreme acid". Ms Storey also denies aiding and abetting an offender. The trial continues. Zoe Frangou said she was "disgusted" by her treatment in a store at Bluewater, Kent, and was then "patronised" by the complaints department. Mothercare apologised to Mrs Frangou and said it supported nursing mothers. The firm said its policy was to allow customers to breastfeed their children anywhere on the premises. It is carrying out an investigation into Mrs Frangou's complaint. In a post on Mothercare's Facebook page Ms Frangou said she visited the store in September. She said her baby was on antibiotics for an ear infection and had slept for five hours before waking up hungry. She found an empty area of the shop and discreetly began to feed him. She said an assistant "marched over" and told her to stop because they were "moving things around and it was dangerous". She claimed the assistant "gave me a dirty look and walked away", when she protested. Mrs Frangou said her complaint to the company was met with a pre-scripted apology. "I am disgusted and find it completely unacceptable," she said. Mothercare has apologised to Ms Frangou for the "disappointing" way she was treated. It added: "We provide all our stores with our breastfeeding policy which clearly states our full support for nursing mothers. "Our customers are welcome to nurse their children anywhere on the premises and for those who prefer some privacy, we provide comfortable feeding facilities. "We are saddened to hear that on this occasion, our guidelines were not adhered and her complaint was not dealt with immediately. "We are fully investigating this incident and will be making sure that all our store teams are aware of our breastfeeding policy and guidelines." The 30-year-old was trapped lbw by former England seamer Ryan Sidebottom in the third over of the four-day game. James Hildreth made 89 in the MCC's 221, with Yorkshire closing on 82-2. It is Cook's first match since the one-day series in Sri Lanka, after which he was dropped and replaced as ODI captain, missing the World Cup. The Essex batsmen has claimed England's poor showing at the tournament - which they exited at the pool stage having won just two of their six matches - proved the selectors were wrong to replace him with Eoin Morgan and omit him from the squad. Cook has been named as captain for England's three-Test tour of the West Indies, which gets under way on 6 April. He began his season, which also sees the visit of Australia in the summer, by playing for the MCC in a Twenty20 match against Sussex on Friday, top scoring with a 26-ball 35 in a 19-run defeat. However, in the traditional County Championship season curtain raiser, his wicket left the MCC wobbling on 7-2 after skipper Nick Compton had edged the first ball of the match from Sidebottom behind to Jonny Bairstow. Cook's former England opening partner Michael Carberry steadied the innings with a composed 36 before James Hildreth (89) and Worcestershire captain Daryl Mitchell (54) shared a stand of 79 as they threatened to take the game away from Yorkshire. But Hildreth's 118-ball knock was ended by Tim Bresnan, who trapped him lbw, and wickets began to tumble as only Zafar Ansari showed any resistance with 24 not out as MCC collapsed from 160-3 to 221 all out. Yorkshire then reached 82-2 at stumps with Adam Lyth unbeaten on 53. Media playback is not supported on this device The Red Devils have not won major silverware since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. However, United - who finished fifth in the Premier League - could end the season with a trophy by beating Crystal Palace in the FA Cup on Saturday. "This club is going to be fighting for titles," Mata told BBC Sport. "Manchester United is all about winning and having that mentality and winning in style. I am sure this club is going to be fighting for trophies again." Mata accepted failure to qualify for the Champions League next season was a disappointment but believes there have been positives to take from the current campaign. The Spain international highlighted the emergence of Marcus Rashford, who has scored eight goals in 17 appearances for the club, and the form of £36m signing Anthony Martial as reasons to be optimistic. "They are both exciting players," added Mata, 28. "Anthony has done great since the first day he arrived at the club. He has been very important for us. He is showing his talent to everyone in the world. "Marcus is very good news for the club. We had some injuries and then the manager believed in someone who had come through from the academy. "It is very important to grow in your confidence at the start of your career. He is Manchester born. He has known the club since he was a kid. We are very happy for him."

More than $60bn (£38bn) will be invested in the country's roads and railways over the next 25 years, with more than half in the next five years. This includes 8,000 kilometres of new roads and 8,000kms of railways. Further announcements involving investment in ports and airports are expected in the coming weeks. Growth in Brazil is predicted to be less than 2% this year, the weakest annual performance since 2009 and a sharp slowdown from an impressive 7.5% rise in 2010. The government's recent measures, such as the recent devaluation of the currency, the real, and the progressive reduction in interest rates, have so far failed to stimulate growth. "The measures unveiled by the Brazilian government this afternoon are good news insofar as they will help tackle some of the supply-side problems that are holding the economy back," said Neil Shearing at Capital Economics. But he said the benefits would not be felt fully for a number of years. Brazil's growth over the past few years has been based on the expansion of credit and on consumer spending. But while this strategy seemed to work, it also exposed serious weaknesses in the country's infrastructure. The government has now made a conscious decision to encourage more private sector investment. The business community in Brazil has praised the government's decision to boost investment in infrastructure, but says the action is long overdue. In addition to the announcements made on Wednesday, President Dilma Rousseff is preparing to lower the price of energy for industry with the abolition of some federal taxes, which could cut the price by 10%. Brazil is also hoping for an economic boost from hosting the Olympic Games in 2016. The Dow Jones closed up 214.53 points, or 1.2%, at 17,979.94. The S&P 500 rose 22.98 points, or 1.11%, to 2,099.60. The tech-heavy Nasdaq added 73.82 points, or 1.48%, to 5, 071.51. Software giant Microsoft was up by 2% after saying it would launch Windows 10 on 29 July. Other winners included Intel, Caterpillar and Nike. The EU has spoken of up to €86bn (£61bn; $95bn) of financing for Greece over three years. "For the markets, it's clearly a positive that there is an agreement among the European member states and that there is an atmosphere of co-operation," said Philippe Gijsels, head of research at BNP Paribas Fortis Global Markets in Brussels. "Still, there is a bit of execution risk which may haunt us in terms of volatility." The British Airways flight to San Francisco was cancelled after a mouse was found, even though passengers were strapped in and waiting to take off. Carly, who was on the flight, said the air crew announced that "a rather unusual occurrence has occurred". They said that planes cannot take off with mice onboard and that another flight would be laid on. "I'm not sure people knew how to react," said Carly. She said they had been told another plane had been found, but the passengers would have to wait several hours before their new aircraft could take off. British Airways has not yet commented, and Heathrow Airport said it could not comment on individual flights. The animal has been extinct in Britain for 1,300 years, but the Lynx UK Trust believes it will help control deer populations and attract tourists. It said the selected area had a low human population density, little sheep farming and few roads and railways. Opponents fear the lynx will be a threat to livestock and wildlife. A series of consultation events are to be staged to discuss a possible schedule for the reintroduction. Paul O'Donoghue, chief scientific adviser for the trust, said: "Balancing up the many factors, Kielder has continually stood out as a place where the lynx can flourish." Several sites across the UK, including Aberdeenshire, Ennerdale in the Lake District and Thetford Forest in Norfolk, were initially identified by the trust before being ruled out as unsuitable. Mike Pratt, chief executive of Northumberland Wildlife Trust, told BBC Newcastle he believed lynx "could perhaps fit into the landscape in the longer term" and help create "richer" biodiversity. However, he added: "Let's look at the implications, let's not rush into this." He called for the trust to consult at length with the Forestry Commission, which is the biggest landowner in the area. The National Sheep Association (NSA) has been a vocal critic of the proposed scheme, saying the UK is "unsuitable" for the reintroduction of the animals. It believes they would "threaten the welfare of sheep and the livelihood of farmers". Right-arm seamer Abbott, 29, returns to the county he played for as an overseas signing in 2014 on a four-year deal. Rossouw, 27, can open or bat lower down the order and has joined Hampshire on a three-year deal. A tearful Abbott announced his international retirement after South Africa's victory in the second Test against Sri Lanka on Thursday. "It's been one of the hardest decisions I've had to make through my years of playing cricket," he said. "It's the right decision for me. "I'd like to thank Cricket South Africa, my team-mates, and my family for the ongoing support through this time," he added. "I would really appreciate the public respecting my decision." After confirming he signed the deal five months ago, he said: "There were a couple of evenings when I went to sleep thinking, 'have I made the right decision?' but I've always woken up the next morning going, 'actually I have'." Abbott did not take a wicket in the Proteas' 282-run victory over Sri Lanka in Cape Town, which was his 11th Test appearance, alongside 28 One Day International and 21 Twenty20 international caps. Cricket South Africa (CSA) has terminated Abbott's national contract by mutual agreement with immediate effect, and are following a similar process for Rossouw. South Africa coach Russell Domingo also revealed Rossouw had only informed CSA of his decision via an email on Wednesday. "He spelt my name wrong for starters - he put one 'l' instead of two. So that's where we are. I'm very disappointed in him," said Domingo. "He toured Australia as the back-up Test batsman, he was the next batsman in. He's played in most of the one dayers and a lot of T20s. "We said this is a guy who can play at the closest level to AB de Villiers in the one-day teams. We invested massively in him and we're very disappointed in his decision." Rossouw has played 36 ODIs and 15 T20 internationals, the most recent against Zimbabwe in October, but was yet to play a Test. Abbott and Rossouw are the latest South African internationals to sign Kolpak deals with English counties in recent months, with Simon Harmer joining Essex,Sussex signing Stiaan van Zyl and Hardus Viljoen moving to Derbyshire. Explaining his decision, Abbott cited his long-term financial security and uncertainty over his place in the South Africa side since his Test debut in 2013. "I personally felt over the last four years that I was never far away from being dropped," he said. "I hope that by showing my commitment over the next four years to Hampshire, I can set up a life after cricket for myself. It's four years of security in a normally very insecure environment." He denied South Africa's quota system, where the men's team need to field an average of at least six players of colour, including two black Africans, was a factor, adding: "Ever since I've played South African cricket there's always been a quota system or targets - I've never used that as an excuse and I won't use it now." In a statement Rossouw said: "Deciding to leave South Africa is something I have thought long and hard about and moving to England will give me and my family the long-term career security that I believe is important at this stage of my life." South Africa captain Faf du Plessis expressed his disappointment at Abbott's decision, saying: "I care so much about him and I want him to play well for South Africa. "I want him to perform on the biggest stage in the world because I feel he's an amazing cricketer and there's no better place to do it than play international cricket. "We did get together, spoke to Kyle, tried to change his mind, but Kyle's already set up exactly what he wanted to do." Hampshire director of cricket Giles White, speaking to BBC South Today, said: "We're delighted as Kyle has been with us before and we know a lot about him and he's shown what a fantastic bowler he is on the international stage of late. "It's obviously been a tough decision for him, he's given it an awful lot of thought. He's a well-considered man and decided that this is the right route to take. "I think this is a decision individuals make and they weigh-up their options. These two have done that and they've chosen Hampshire as the next phase of their lives and their careers." Kolpak contracts are named after Slovak handball player Marius Kolpak, who won a landmark case at the European Court of Justice in 2003. It allows sportsmen from countries that have associate trade agreements with the European Union, including South Africa, the same right to free movement as EU citizens without being classed as 'foreigners'. In cricket, such contracts render the player ineligible to represent their country at international level. Former Australia one-day captain George Bailey will be Hampshire's overseas player for 2017. A spokesman for the first minister said they had spoken about the impact the election could have on Brexit. But he said there was "no discussion of a referendum" during the meeting. Ms Sturgeon has said that she would "reflect carefully" on her plans after the SNP lost 21 seats in the election. She has conceded that proposals for a second vote on leaving the UK were "undoubtedly" a factor in the result. Opposition parties - and some figures from within the SNP - have called on Ms Sturgeon to shelve her plans for a referendum. Speaking to journalists after the cabinet meeting, her spokesman said Scottish ministers had agreed there could now be "a substantial opportunity for alternatives to a hard Brexit" following the Conservatives' failure to win an overall majority in the election. But when asked if the Scottish cabinet had considered the impact of the election on its referendum plans, he added: "There was no discussion, no. "There was a discussion of the outcome of the election in relation to Brexit, but no specific discussion of a referendum." The spokesman insisted he was "not going to pre-empt the first minister" on the issue. He said: "I'm not going to outline any position on independence or a referendum because it's for the first minister to do that, and she has indicated she will do that in due course." The spokesman was asked why Ms Sturgeon was calling for amendments to be made to the UK's Brexit plans in the wake of the election, but had not yet announced any change to her proposals for a second independence referendum. He responded: "The fact remains the SNP won a majority of seats in Scotland, Theresa May and the Conservatives did not win a majority of seats in the UK, so there is a difference, there is a distinction to be drawn there." Almost immediately after the UK voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, the first minister said a fresh ballot on independence was "highly likely". And in March of this year, Ms Sturgeon said she wanted the vote to be held between the autumn of 2018 and the spring of 2019, when the terms of the Brexit deal are known. The first minister was due to outline the "next steps" towards a second referendum after Holyrood's Easter break - but her statement was delayed by the election, with her spokesman saying he does "not have a timescale" for when it might take place. He also stressed that staying within Europe's single market is still "paramount" for Scottish ministers. The SNP administration published a paper last year setting out its proposals to keep either the whole of the UK or Scotland alone in the single market following Brexit. Since last Thursday's election, Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson has said there is a need to look again at issues like Brexit to ensure there is cross-party support. Ms Sturgeon's spokesman made clear: "Single market membership is what we are absolutely committed to, a continued place in the single market. "Our position is that a continued place in the single market, that is paramount." Asked if this could be up for discussion, he said: "I think anything short of that immediately takes you into hard Brexit territory." Scottish Conservative deputy leader Jackson Carlaw said: "We can only hope in the absence of any independence discussion, ministers instead addressed the Scottish Government's terrible domestic record on devolved matters. "But the reality is, until Nicola Sturgeon takes the threat of another referendum off the table, no-one will believe it's not her priority." Scottish Labour claimed that independence was now the "elephant in the room" for Ms Sturgeon. The party's business manager, James Kelly, said: "We want the Scottish cabinet focused on jobs, schools and hospitals - but it is staggering that SNP ministers did not discuss dropping a referendum given Thursday's result." The party's deputy leader was defeated by the Conservatives' Douglas Ross who overturned his majority of 9,065. The seat had been a key target for the Conservatives in Scotland. In his victory speech, Mr Ross said: "I give a promise that my first and only priority will be to serve the people of this constituency to the best of my ability." Mr Robertson was beaten by former MSP Mr Ross by 18,478 votes to 22,637. Labour had 5,208 votes and the Liberal Democrats polled 1,078. He added: "I'd like to pay tribute to my fellow candidates. Could I also say to Angus, thank-you on behalf of the people of Moray for your outstanding service to the people of Moray over the last 16 years." Mr Robertson became one of the SNP's most high-profile figures after the 2015 election, thanks to a weekly platform at Prime Minister's Questions. As group leader at Westminster, and as a result of the SNP's newly-acquired third-party status, he was handed the task of challenging the UK government on everything from welfare reforms to Brexit and foreign affairs. Mr Robertson - who took over as SNP deputy leader in 2016 - has often been lauded for his PMQs performances, earning a reputation as a formidable opponent and potential future leadership contender. Born in London to Scottish and German parents, he grew up in Edinburgh before attending university in Aberdeen. He worked as a journalist and then as a European and international affairs adviser to SNP MSPs at Holyrood before he was elected to Westminster in 2001 to represent Moray. He served as the party's defence spokesman and, in 2015, was appointed as a member of the Privy Council and the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee. Mr Robertson was the party's campaigns director for the 2007 and 2011 Scottish elections and previously served as business convener, chairing the SNP's National Executive Committee. Shorne Action Group has claimed the crossing will have a devastating impact on the 10-mile radius around north-west Kent villages. Highways England has said a tunnel connecting Tilbury to Gravesend is its preferred route for the crossing. It said the tunnel offered the best economic benefits and journey time improvements. Campaigners said their campaign had given residents in the villages of Shorne and Chalk a chance to put questions to government ministers and decision-makers. Spokesman Sharon Goring said: "We are on track to send over 1,500 individual, personal questions and we hope - and expect - the courtesy of individual responses." The postcards include scenes of traffic congestion and schoolchildren wearing pollution masks to show the tunnel's potential impact, she added. She said other villages in the area, including Higham, were planning to join the campaign. Joint Warrior is held twice a year, in April and October, and involves thousands of personnel and dozens of ships and aircraft. For the first time, the UK-led exercise features training using sea-going and aerial drones. Called Unmanned Warrior, this training involves the Western Isles. Military sites and ranges in Benbecula, Stornoway on Lewis and also Applecross and Kyle of Lochalsh on Scotland's mainland west coast are being used for the Royal Navy's Unmanned Warrior. Joint Warrior, meanwhile, involves about 5,700 military personnel from armed forces from countries including Norway, Sweden, Germany and the USA. Thirty-one warships and submarines as well almost 70 aircraft, many of them being flown out of RAF Lossiemouth in Moray and Prestwick in Ayrshire, are being used in the training off the Scottish coast. Joint Warrior runs until 20 October. Man of the series Rilee Rossouw hit 122 from 118 balls in a 178-run partnership with JP Duminy to help the Proteas to a commanding 327-8 at Newlands. Australia's David Warner struck a brilliant 173 from 136 balls as the visitors were dismissed for 296. Australia last ODI whitewash was a 4-0 loss to England in 2012. They had never lost a five-match series to nil. South Africa had been struggling at 52-3 when Rossouw and Duminy came together and took advantage of the visitors' inexperienced bowling attack to score freely. Duminy was bowled by Joe Mennie for 73, while Rossouw - having reached his century off 100 balls - eventually fell with five overs to go. David Miller then marshalled the tail to take 46 off the final five overs and set Australia an imposing target. The highest successful ODI chase at the ground is 258, but opener Warner's magnificent effort brought an improbable victory within reach. Lacking meaningful support, the 29-year-old held his side together as wickets fell around him - hitting 24 fours in his innings - before being run out in the 48th over attempting a second run to Imran Tahir. "I thought he was outstanding," Australia captain Steve Smith said of Warner. "The rest of us just didn't stand up. This has been a tough series. We have been outplayed." About £1m was axed last week, which led to health unions and student nurses condemning the move. There were warnings that the health service and, in particular, patients would suffer as a result of cuts to the service. The fund allows for already-trained nurses to specialise in other areas. This includes liver disease, neo-natal training and endoscopy procedures and district nursing. Advanced life-support resuscitation would also be affected. On the day of the decision, the former health minister Michelle O'Neill reacted on social media. Using her Twitter account, Mrs O'Neill said the move "flies in the face of transforming health and social care". Mrs O'Neill said that instead there is a need to invest in the workforce. As reported by the BBC, those in charge of training nurses had requested about £10m from the Department of Health. However, they received about £8.2m instead. Sources told the BBC that amount was cut even further and while reinstating about £1m is better than nothing, there is still a funding gap of about £550,000. The Northern Ireland director of the Royal College of Nursing, Janice Smyth, said no-one had contacted her about the cuts or about the move to reinstate the money. Speaking to the BBC, Ms Smyth said it was not a complete reversal as she understood that £1.8m had been cut from the education fund. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Department of Health said funding of £1.3m will be provided towards the education and training spend for post-registration nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals. They said this would be prioritised to support clinical practice across a range of acute and community areas including health visiting, district nursing and cancer nursing programmes, in line with the department's "transformation agenda as set out in Delivering Together". "The final revised funding position is possible as a consequence of changes in expenditure needs in other areas, and is to be welcomed in view of the importance of continuing to invest in training our workforce," they added. "This is key to being able to deliver a new model of sustainable care." The University of Ulster, which runs the training programme, says it remains extremely concerned for both patient safety and the availability of a skilled healthcare workforce. According to the university, the budget for specialist nurses remains short by £640,000 - a 41% cut. That means specialist courses such as stroke management, diabetes care and others may be in jeopardy. A spokesperson said it had met with the Department of Health and intended to continue working to secure a more positive outcome. Meanwhile, Queen's University School of Nursing and Midwifery says it continues to face a £500,000 funding cut to its training budget. That will mean a 50% reduction in student places, according to a spokesperson. Prof Donna Fitzsimons said: "The proposed funding cuts potentially impact on Queen's specialist practice programmes which span areas such as peri-operative nursing (22 places), health assessment (16 places) and nursing care of the critically ill child (12 places), and, as such, their potential to save lives and improve outcomes for patient care should not be overlooked." Greece is fast-approaching bankruptcy and is due to make a payment of €1.5bn (£1.09bn) to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on 5 June. Mr Varoufakis told Star TV a deal with creditors was "very close" and denied the country might leave the eurozone. "Another currency is not on our radar," he added. The Greek government, EU and IMF have been locked in negotiations over economic reforms they say must be implemented before the latest €7.2bn tranche of the country's bailout fund is released. Issues over pension reform, deregulation of the labour market, and the re-hiring of 4,000 former civil servants are yet to be resolved. The deadlock has led to concerns that Greece could run out of cash. Last week, the government raided its IMF reserves in order to pay €750m in debt interest on its existing loans. €320bn Greece's debt mountain €240bn European bailout €56bn Greece owes Germany 177% country's debt-to-GDP ratio 25% fall in GDP since 2010 26% Greek unemployment rate Mr Varoufakis said a payment deal was on the cards, but insisted he would reject any compromise he considered "non-viable". "I assure you that if we face a dilemma between paying a creditor who refuses to sign an agreement with us and a pensioner, we will pay the pensioner. "I hope we will be able to pay both," he added during the live Q&A (in Greek). On Thursday the country's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will attend the EU Eastern Partnership Summit summit in Riga. Although Greece is not on the agenda EU Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said it was likely to be one of the main topics of conversation. Mr Schinas welcomed the commitment by the Greek government to bring the talks to a conclusion but said more time and effort was needed "to bridge the gaps on the remaining open issues in the negotiations". Drivers in Seattle, Houston and Minneapolis will get to enable the feature first - but the company said it would roll it out across the US by the end of next month. International drivers will be able to use the feature in the very near future, the BBC understands. The move brings Uber in line with its main competitor, Lyft. Lyft recently said it had paid out more than $250m in tips to its drivers. Uber drivers, long disgruntled with falling fares, have been calling for tipping for some time. In an email to drivers, Uber said adding tipping was the first announcement in its "180 days of change", a programme that the company hopes will help it improve its relationship with drivers. The Independent Drivers Guild, which represents Uber drivers in New York City, took credit for Uber's decision. "Today's tipping announcement is an important win for drivers and proves that thousands of drivers coming together with one voice can make big changes," it said in a statement. "Cuts to driver pay across the ride-hail industry have made tipping income more important than ever. We were proud to lead the way on this fight on behalf of drivers in New York City and across the nation. This is an important first step toward a more fair ride-hail industry." Driver pressure will have played a significant factor - but it is likely that wider concerns are what prompted this latest move by Uber, a company left in tatters after a hugely critical report into its culture. Also, proposals have been put forward by the The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) that would have forced the company to add the feature or risk having its drivers banned from the city's roads. Once the new feature has been activated, riders will be prompted to offer a tip of $1, $3, $5 or a custom amount, as well as rating the driver as normal. Riders have up to 30 days to add a tip. Drivers will not know which riders have tipped them. Crucially, the company said it will not take any cut of any tips paid - however if drivers are currently paying off a car that has been leased through Uber affiliates, the tips may automatically be used to pay off those charges. In a separate statement posted Tuesday, Uber's lesser-known co-founder, Garrett Camp, said the company must hold itself to a "higher standard" in the wake of its numerous scandals. "I believe that our business can have 10x the impact it has today -  once we have additional leadership and training in place, and evolve our culture to be more inclusive and respectful," he said. Travis Kalanick, the firm's chief executive, is currently on a leave of absence. ___________ Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC You can reach Dave securely through encrypted messaging app Signal on: +1 (628) 400-7370 Media playback is not supported on this device The visitors twice led after tries by Hogg - his fifth in three Tests - and Tim Swinson, early in the second half. But with several injuries to contend with, they had to settle for a bonus point after beating Ireland first up. "France had a massive forward pack and really brought it to us. I think we chucked it away at the end," Hogg said. "Our errors cost us throughout the game. We got ourselves in a good position after the first try, but we didn't look after the ball, we didn't respect it enough and ultimately that cost us. "It wasn't the result we were looking for. Our next job now is Wales in a couple of weeks and we have to get ourselves back on the horse." France threatened to overwhelm Scotland with their power and offloading game at times, but could only manage one try, via Gael Fickou in the first half, although Remi Lamerat's effort was ruled out by the television match official. "It was a physical encounter," noted Scotland head coach Vern Cotter. "Quite a few times we came off second best. "I thought the boys stuck in really well defensively and defended our line well. "At critical times perhaps we weren't accurate enough and we will look at that before the next game." The Scots lost captain Greig Laidlaw to injury after 25 minutes, with Glasgow's Ali Price coming on for only his second cap. John Barclay, who took over as captain, also departed with a head knock before half-time, only for his replacement John Hardie to suffer the same fate just a minute into the second half. Props Allan Dell and Zander Fagerson also went off under the attentions of team doctor James Robson before the hour, with hooker Fraser Brown forced off with 15 minutes left. Centre Alex Dunbar departed for a head injury assessment before returning to the field. "Greig has a big part to play as captain and half-back, but Ali played well when he came on and the guys behind adapted well," Cotter added. "These things do happen and we had trained for it. "John Barclay and John Hardie both had head injury assessments so we will have to wait and see how they come through the return-to-play protocols. John Barclay hurt his shoulder as well. There are other bumps and bruises but we are hoping everyone will be all right for the next one." Media playback is not supported on this device Cotter played down the effect of Finn Russell's bizarre missed conversion after Swinson's try put Scotland 16-13 ahead, when the fly-half appeared rushed into taking it after the late arrival of a kicking tee. "I will have to look at that," Cotter added. "It was only two points and it didn't really matter. At the end it was a six-point game. These things happen. "We are happy to come away with one point but we would certainly have liked to come away with more." Foul by Fernando Llorente (Swansea City).

Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce: "Our players need to get ready for Swansea on Tuesday night - that's the big game they need to win. "Watching Premier League football this year, the top six are so much better than last year so it's always hard to pick up points against them. "Our big game's on Tuesday, there's no doubt about it. We're going to survive by beating teams in the bottom half." Swansea caretaker manager Alan Curtis: "The first goal seems to be crucial at the moment. "Confidence seems to drain from us when we go behind. I suppose the explanation for that is that we are bottom of the table, we are not winning games and we are conceding too many goals. "It's a crisis of confidence when we concede a goal." A lot of journalists have been saying Crystal Palace should avoid relegation now Sam Allardyce is in charge. They should never have been close to relegation in the first place. As for Swansea, this should be Paul Clement's first game and with any new manager you always get a reaction. I just don't think it will be enough for this fixture.

The shy and secretive animals were wiped out in Scotland more than 1,000 years ago. They survived in continental Europe - Scandinavia, the eastern Baltic, Carpathian mountains and the Balkans. In some of these areas, their numbers have recovered from populations decimated by hunting and habitat loss by the mid 20th Century. Five other things on the cats: 1. The Eurasian lynx, scientific name Lynx lynx, is the third largest predator in Europe after the brown bear and the wolf. 2. The last of Britain's big cats died out around the year 500, according to the Lynx UK Trust, but populations may have survived longer in Scotland. 3. The Eurasian lynx has distinctive black tufts at the tips of its ears. 4. They are an extremely efficient hunter, according to BBC Nature. They use stealth and pounce techniques to bring down animals four times their size, delivering a fatal bite to the neck or snout of an ambushed deer. 5. Lynx' preference to go for the throat of prey has led to a myth that the cats suck blood. This misconception was recorded by scientists in a research paper on Balkan lynx and published in the International Journal of Conservation in 2011. The defending champion shot a six-under-par 66 for an 11-under halfway total, level with fellow Americans Bill Haas and Jimmy Walker. England's Paul Casey, who shared the lead after round one, lost ground with a 70 and is in a tie for seventh. Casey is on eight under alongside Matt Kuchar and Open champion Zach Johnson. In between Casey and the leaders are three more Americans - Chris Kirk, Patrick Reed and Bubba Watson - all on 10 under, one shot off the three pacesetters. Casey's compatriot Justin Rose is significantly off the pace after a 72 left him 10 strokes behind the leaders. Now that inflation has fallen to 0.5% on the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) measure, he's got to write a letter to the chancellor, explaining why inflation has missed the Bank's target of 2% by more than one percentage point. But why on earth should he be writing to George Osborne to apologise, when low inflation looks so attractive? For example, falling oil prices will probably mean that the average British motorist will save around £140 this year. What he or she doesn't spend on petrol - perhaps £4bn in total - is likely to be spent elsewhere, so boosting the economy in other ways. So if falling prices are good for individuals and the economy, how can inflation also be beneficial? In the example of falling oil prices, the motorist probably doesn't have much choice as to whether to buy petrol or not. But imagine if the price of the car itself were to start falling. Instead of buying yourself a new car this year, why not buy it next year, when it might be hundreds of pounds cheaper? A little inflation encourages you to buy sooner - and that boosts economic growth. Anyone with a mortgage or a loan benefits from inflation, as it has the effect of eroding debt. In the 1960s my father bought a house for £11,000. But with inflation peaking at around 13% in the late 70s, his wages were rising fast too - meaning the mortgage repayments were taking an ever smaller share of his income. By contrast, deflation - or falling prices - increases the real value of debts. Not a good place to be. Rising prices make it easier for companies to put up wages. They also give employers the flexibility not to increase wages by as much as inflation, but still offer their staff some sort of rise. In a world of zero inflation some companies might be forced to cut wages. That would not be good for morale, recruitment or productivity. For most of the last five years inflation has been running ahead of wage rises, but thanks to inflation, wages have also been rising, even if the money doesn't go as far. The government has a huge debt, which is getting bigger thanks to a deficit of £90bn. It would dearly love to see that eroded by inflation, which in turn would see its own income rise. As long as there's a good dose of inflation in the system, tax revenue should go up, even if the economy is stagnant. When inflation is too high of course, it is not good for the economy or individuals. Inflation will always reduce the value of money, unless interest rates are higher than inflation. And the higher inflation gets, the less chance there is that savers will see any real return on their money. Although in theory that should be good for the economy, by encouraging people to spend rather than save. High inflation - as Gordon Brown used to remind us when he was chancellor - is also a cause of boom and bust in the economy. It therefore produces low growth and higher unemployment. If inflation in the UK exceeds that of other countries, it can also erode competitiveness. Most central banks favour an inflation target that is in the region of 2% to 2.5%. The Bank of England's target of 2% under the CPI measure is fairly typical. Some economists argue there should be a higher target in times of recession, such as 3%. This can promote higher growth, by keeping interest rates lower for longer. But whatever the precise level, most do agree that a little dose of inflation is absolutely essential. "The most important thing to remember is that inflation is not an act of God, that inflation is not a catastrophe of the elements or a disease that comes like the plague," said the Austrian philosopher and economist Ludwig von Mises. "Inflation is a policy." John W Mills' bronze horse, "Curved Neck Grace", was taken from a garden in St Ipployts, Hertfordshire, in 2009. It was spotted by the owner's daughter during a BBC Inside Out East report from a traveller's site in Dunstable. "I never expected to see it again," Mr Mills said after police brought the horse statue to his studio to identify. "Normally when a sculpture gets stolen, you suspect it's either gone for scrap, or out of the country or destroyed. "I was amazed to hear it was so close to home." Hertfordshire Police said the rightful owner had bought the sculpture in 1983 and had displayed it in her garden for 26 years before it was stolen. The owner's daughter spotted what she believed to be the statue when watching Inside Out in November, before contacting Mr Mills and the police. "As soon as we received the report, we quickly began to make inquiries and were delighted to confirm that it was the stolen 'Curved Neck Grace' when we visited the site," said Sgt Jon Vine. "We hope that the statue will now go to a good home and will be displayed in a safe environment where people can fully appreciate it." Mr Mills said he would welcome the opportunity to work on the statue again. "If it goes to auction, I'd like the opportunity to make sure it's in good condition and has new fixings. "It would be very nice to work on a piece that old." The 41-year-old, currently head coach of the Hurricanes, replaces Phil Davies, who left the post in March. Hammett has agreed a three-year deal and will join up with Cardiff at the end of the Super 15 season. Interim coaches Paul John and Dale McIntosh will work under Hammett after his arrival later this summer. Hammett could arrive in Cardiff as late as August if Hurricanes reach the Super Rugby final, which takes place on 2 August. Blues chief executive Richard Holland confirmed John and McIntosh will remain at the Arms Park. New Zealand-born, but Wales-capped McIntosh joined Blues as an assistant coach ahead of the 2013-14 season. John arrived as backs coach after Gareth Baber left in December, 2013, then joined McIntosh in guiding Blues through the final stages of the season after Davies' departure. Holland said: "We believe his [Hammett's] long-term vision for the Blues with take us to the next level and achieve our ambitions. "We conducted an extensive worldwide search, with the help of Wales coach Warren Gatland and Gareth Edwards, and are absolutely delighted that Mark Hammett will be taking the role." Blues finished 7th in the Pro12 this season, missing out on a place in next season's European Rugby Champions Cup. Motorist John Place had been told to stop driving weeks before he struck Poppy-Arabella Clarke, three, as she used a pedestrian crossing. The family, from Sutton Coldfield, want medical experts to alert the DVLA to people who should not be driving. Solicitors are contacting MPs on their behalf in an attempt to gain government interest. Poppy-Arabella was killed at a pedestrian crossing on Chester Road in Sutton Coldfield, last July. Her mother, Rachel Clarke, was crossing with her at the time and suffered a broken pelvis. Place, 72, was jailed for four years on Monday for causing death by dangerous driving. He told police he was not wearing his glasses and that he had not seen the red light or the crossing itself. Two optometrists had told him his eyesight, even with glasses, fell below the required standard set by the DVLA. More stories from Birmingham and the Black Country here Speaking to the BBC Mrs Clarke said of Poppy-Arabella: "She's everything you could wish for in a little girl. She was always dancing and singing, she lived her life like she was in a musical." Richard Langton from Slater and Gordon, representing the family, told the BBC the current legal position on reporting people not fit to drive is a "grey area." "Medical professionals tell people they are not fit to drive, but whether that person actually notifies the DVLA is really up to them," he said. The obligation to inform the relevant body should be with medical professionals, he said. As well as GPs and medical experts, Mrs Clarke and her husband say family members could also take some responsibility to stop people declared unfit to drive from getting behind a wheel. The US embassy warned of a threat to attack Entebbe airport between 21:00-23:00 (18:00-20:00 GMT), but no incidents were reported in that time. The army said troops had been deployed at the airport and in the city. Militant Islamists al-Shabab bombed two Kampala restaurants during the 2010 football World Cup, killing 70 people. On Thursday, the US advised its citizens to review plans to travel through Entebbe International Airport. The airport's security unit later said in a widely publicised document: "According to intelligence sources, there is a specific threat to attack Entebbe International Airport by an unknown terrorist group... Such a threat cannot be taken lightly." Army spokesman Paddy Ankunda said troops had been deployed at the airport and in the capital, about 35km (20 miles) from Entebbe. "People must be vigilant in the face of this threat, report any suspicious individuals seen in their areas," he said. He called on people to "stay calm and alert". A reporter with AFP news agency said there was a heavy security presence in Kampala, with soldiers marching along city streets. Security forces also erected barriers and closed some roads, Uganda's Daily Monitor newspaper reports. Several international conferences were taking place in the city and the security forces wanted to make sure that visitors were safe, Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesman Patrick Onyango is quoted as saying. The 30-year-old, who joined the club in 1995 and became a professional in 2003, made 268 appearances for the Magpies. "It will be a huge wrench to leave Newcastle but I've been offered exciting opportunities," he said. Manager Rafael Benitez added: "His character and personality has always been positive, including during difficult times." Taylor made his first-team debut on 25 March 2004 against Real Mallorca in the Uefa Cup and his Premier League bow against Bolton three days later. Although Taylor failed to win an England cap, he was called up to the full squad for the friendly against Germany in August 2007. Newcastle have taken up an option to extend defender Kevin Mbabu's contract for two more years. The 21-year-old Swiss left-back, who joined the club from Servette in January 2013, made his debut against Sheffield Wednesday in the Capital One Cup in September. Crews were called to the four-storey block, on the corner of Whitby Street and Springfield Road, in the Parkhead area, at about 09:22. Ten firefighters in breathing apparatus entered the building and doused the flames, while an aerial rescue pump tackled the blaze from outside. No-one was reported injured in the fire which has now been contained. Crews remain at the scene to perform cutting away operations on the roof and inside the building to ensure there is no fire spread. It is not yet known what caused the fire. The Premiership club will travel south to take on City, with Saints stressing there will be "no public access". "It has come out of the blue through a contact of mine and we were, as you can imagine, delighted to accept the opportunity," said Wright. "It will be a fantastic experience for the players." Guardiola's City travelled to China to prepare for their Premier League season and beat Borussia Dortmund on penalties in Thursday's friendly. However, Monday's planned meeting with Manchester United was called off after heavy rain in Beijing left the pitch unplayable. Saints' domestic season has already started with Scottish League Cup first-round group fixtures, the fourth and final of which is against Stirling Albion on Saturday. The world's largest smartphone producer has said its operating profit in the January to March period is expected to reach 6.6 trillion Korean won ($5.6bn; £3.9bn). For the same quarter in 2015, Samsung's operating profit was at 6tn won. The improved outlook comes amid reports of strong sales of its latest flagship smartphone models, the Galaxy S7. Samsung is also estimating a jump in sales to 49tn won, a rise of 4%. The company will report its full first quarter results later this month. If Samsung meets its guidance, it would be a turnaround from the earnings slump in the final quarter of last year. Strong competition from cheaper Chinese rivals such as Xiaomi and Huawei at the bottom of the market, as well as Apple at the premium end, has put Samsung's smartphone sales under pressure. Samsung shares in Seoul closed down 1.25%. NHS bosses shut the Minehead Community Hospital unit between 23:00 and 07:00 in March and warned it could take until August to recruit more staff. However, a solution has been found to redirect an emergency nurse to Minehead to reinstate the overnight shift. Somerset's NHS Trust is in the process of recruiting four new nurses to help maintain its minor injury units. It said there remained a shortage of "appropriately qualified" emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs). But it added that taking on temporary medical cover in Bridgwater had meant a member of staff could be released to help elsewhere in the county.

The Metropolitan Police said no access was gained to any Parliament building and the incident lasted approximately 30 seconds. Both youths, who are 15 years old, have been bailed to a date in early May. The boys were arrested at about 14:30 BST on Saturday. The matter is not being treated as terrorist-related. The housing association, Gentoo, said the material had been removed as a precautionary measure in the wake of the Grenfell Tower blaze in which 79 people are believed to have perished. So far 60 buildings in 25 council areas have failed combustibility tests. Those which had cladding removed in Sunderland were Zetland, Church North, Dock, Dame Dorothy and the Victor block of flats. Gentoo said none of its buildings had the same cladding as Grenfell Tower, but it went ahead with the cladding removal to reassure residents. A statement from company said: "We took the precautionary measure to remove a small amount of decorative panelling from five of our blocks in the St Peter's area. "We are also carrying out face to face reassurance meetings with our residents as part of this exercise to ensure the ongoing safety of our customers." One elderly man, who lives on the 13th floor of the Victor building and did not wish to be named, said he was not nervous as the housing association carried out fire safety checks "all the time". He said: "Gentoo is always doing things to keep the residents happy." Meanwhile a petition has been set up calling on the owners of another student block to tell residents if their building is affected. Brookfield Student Real Estate owns St James Point which houses 80 Newcastle University students and more than 200 students from elsewhere. A company spokesman said the building had been designed to the highest fire safety standards. Steph Mosley of Acorn, a community group campaigning for renters' rights, said: "We don't know what is in the cladding. "We've been told that it follows regulations. "But people at Grenfell were told that regulations had been followed. "We are after specifics - is the cladding the same? What is it made of? Is it flammable? The residents really need to know." Gentoo said it was not planning to remove any further cladding from its properties. The firm - not affiliated with Richard Branson's Virgin Group - has 25 stores in France, including a flagship outlet on the Champs Elysees in Paris. It has already taken steps to terminate the lease on the Paris store and will hold a meeting with unions on Monday, a spokesman said. Virgin France employs 1,000 people. The firm is currently owned by French investment firm Butler Capital. Butler bought 80% of Virgin in 2007 from French media company Lagardere, which had purchased the chain from Mr Branson's Virgin in 2001. It is not the only music chain suffering. Most have been struggling for a number of years, having been hit hard by the big growth in music and film downloads - legal and illegal - and by the rise in the sale of chart CDs and DVDs by the big supermarkets. Virgin's main French rival, the Fnac chain, has also been facing difficulties. At the end of last year, it discontinued its Fnacmusic digital music download service, having failed to gain sufficient market share. In the UK, music, films and games retailer HMV has warned that it faces an uncertain future in the face of continuing falling sales. Our Price, Tower Records, Virgin Megastores, Zavvi, MVC, Music Zone, Andy's, Border's and Woolworths are all well-known names that have disappeared from streets in recent years.

Divers made the discovery on Sunday near the River Dart in Totnes, where the 16-year-old was last seen. Devon and Cornwall Police said it was possible he had fallen into the river after taking a "new pyschoactive substance" (NPS). Nathan's mother has warned against taking so-called legal highs, describing them as "horrendous". The body has not been formally identified, but Nathan's family has been informed. Click here for updates on Nathan Wood and other stories His mother Mandi Retter said his death had "screwed up our lives forever". "It's almost like you want other families to feel that pain for a split second," she said. NPS - formerly "legal highs" - are synthetic versions of drugs such as amphetamines and cannabis designed to mimic their effects. Ms Retter said they should be "avoided like the plague". "I remember having a conversation with [Nathan] a year-and-a-half-ago and he said that you can walk up to anyone in Totnes and get anything," she said. Nathan's friends described him as a "funny, down-to-earth" guy with a "bright future" ahead of him. Euan Johnson, 16, said he had known Nathan for "pretty much my whole life" and his death showed "how quickly someone's life can just be taken". "I think he wanted to become an engineer... he was really clever." Police said the teenager, from the Paignton area, had been out with a group of friends on Friday night. It is thought he went into the water at about 18:30 BST. Nathan's friends confirmed to officers the teenager had taken a drug on the night he went missing. Acting Sgt Kevin Rowe said there was a "possibility he may have taken some sort of [formerly] legal high which has had an adverse effect on his behaviour and caused him to behave quite irrationally". The unusual incident was captured by plasterer Nigel Swinburne who was working outside Sheriff Street in the town when the scooter drove past him. Mr Swinburne said he "could not believe his eyes" when he noticed what the electric scooter was towing. He said: "I thought there's a boat coming towards me and then 'oh it's being towed by a mobility scooter'." A spokesman for Cleveland Police said it was legal for the boat to be towed by the scooter. The UK network suggests the move will particularly benefit people who fail to get a connection or experience dropped calls in their homes and offices. Other firms already offer a similar service via apps, but EE says its scheme is "seamless" as users are not required to do anything to switch between 3G/4G and wi-fi. However, there are potential pitfalls. EE said its Wi-fi Calling facility would initially be limited to pay monthly subscribers using Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S5 phones and Microsoft's new Lumia 640, although the BBC understands the iPhone 5S and newer Apple handsets will also be supported. Since it requires specific mobile data components to be built into the devices, it cannot be extended to other older models. However, EE said it would soon offer a compatible own-brand budget smartphone. To join the service, users send the firm a single text message. "We have worked more than a year to make sure that everything works like a normal phone connection," Olaf Swantee, EE's chief executive, told the BBC. "So, the ringtone, the voicemail, the quality of the conversation - all of that is exactly the same with our solution. "I think that's essential as customers don't have the time to figure out whether they should be using an app. "They want to simply know the network will switch from one technology to the other without customer intervention." He added that he expected five million people would be able to use the service, which also supports text messages, by the summer. Even if a personal wi-fi network is used, the phone's owner will still be billed as if they had made the call in a normal manner. Furthermore, they cannot use it to make cheaper calls from abroad. But one industry watcher said the scheme still had appeal. "One of the complained about factors with mobile phones is just making a voice call, and perhaps an approach of getting the fundamentals of connectivity right can act as a differentiator for the firm," said Kester Mann from the telecoms consultancy CCS Insight. "Vodafone will also be launching a similar wi-fi calling service in the summer." The UK's other two leading networks, O2 and Three, offer apps instead: Tu Go and Three inTouch. Third-party services, including Skype, Whatsapp, Viber and Apple's iMessage, also provide ways to make voice calls over wi-fi. One of the limitations of EE's Wi-fi Calling is that it cannot switch from one service to another mid-call. So, if someone walks out of a wi-fi covered zone into an area where there is 4G coverage, or vice versa, they still face their call suddenly ending. EE is marketing the service as a way to make calls in the home or office, where it believes this is unlikely to be a common problem. It also boasts that it will make it easy for people to make and receive calls on London Underground platforms, and other wi-fi enabled places without network coverage. However, it acknowledges that users many need to manage their experience. Because phones will automatically switch to wi-fi where it is available, if users log into a congested hotspot they could face poor call quality. They would then need to go into their settings menu to temporarily turn off the wi-fi connection or Wi-fi Calling facility to opt back into 3G/4G. "It's going to depend on the quality of the public wi-fi, and if that's a poor quality service in a coffee shop, shopping centre or wherever, that will be a challenge," said Mr Mann. "It's very much tailored to the private wi-fi that people have in the basements of flats, rural homes and other places with poor mobile coverage." EE recently beat other networks in terms of average 4G download speeds and the number of UK premises with coverage, in a study carried out by the regulator Ofcom. The company - which is currently owned by Deutsche Telekom and Orange - is in the process of being taken over by BT, which plans to let customers boost reception within buildings via a separate technique involving additional radio spectrum that it owns. There is, however, opposition to the acquisition. Consumer rights advocate Which? has written to Ofcom highlighting that the two firms have fared poorly in customer satisfaction surveys, and suggested that the merger could exacerbate the situation. However, Mr Swantee insisted customers would benefit from the tie-up. "The purchase of EE for £12.5bn is very much going to further innovation," he said. "In-market consolidation can really help to drive investment. "And when you look forward to technologies like 5G - which we will get in 2020, maybe - they require incredible investment." It was while novelist Sarah Perry was driving through Essex with her husband that she first heard the story of a giant serpent, with teeth "very white and sharp". The myth of a 9ft (2.7m) snake which terrorised the county's cattle had been told for centuries. Inspired, she produced her novel The Essex Serpent, which won her the Waterstones Book of the Year prize last year. The tale of the giant serpent first surfaced in a pamphlet from 1669, which claims its antics were "attested by many credible persons". "It's a great unsolved mystery," says Perry, who lives in Norwich. "Some say it was all a hoax, a monster that was hand-built by a man and his son. "Others say it was a crocodile - some such creature which escaped from the [royal menagerie housed at the] Tower of London and made its way to the Essex marshes." Regardless of its authenticity, myths and the "dark places that inhabit the corner of your eyes" have always interested her. She is not alone. Fellow author Karen Maitland drew on the tales of the Owlman - a relatively modern Cornish story first recorded by paranormal researcher Tony Doc Shiels. According to Shiels, two girls, aged nine and 12, saw the creature hovering near Mawnam church in 1976, describing it as large like a man but with pointed ears and red eyes. The story party inspired Maitland's work The Owl Killers. She said she wanted to include the Owlman in her thriller for its links to the occult. "The owl was once a symbol of female power that had been subverted... used by the church and by local cults." Another writer inspired by local legend was Bram Stoker. The Dracula author had his head turned by the legend of the Lambton Worm, which was said to have terrorised the County Durham village by snatching away small children and devouring sheep. He wrote The Lair of the White Worm, published in 1911, based on the myth of the monster, which was described as large enough to coil itself around a hill. It was later turned into a Ken Russell film, featuring Hugh Grant in one of his earliest roles, Amanda Donohoe and an unfortunate boy scout. Similarly, Arthur Conan Doyle drew on the story of Black Shuck - the demon dog that apparently appeared at churches in Bungay and Blythburgh in Suffolk during a thunderstorm in August 1577. The animal apparently killed two parishioners and left scorch marks on a church door, and became one of the inspirations for the Sherlock Holmes novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles. It also inspired Essex writer Martin Newell, who wrote a poem named after the dog. He says more and more writers are being drawn to mythology "as society becomes more secular and the younger generation, who never go near a church, are looking for mystery in life". "I grew up with the stories of Black Shuck from my granddad. When I was writing [the poem] someone said to me to 'be careful'," he adds, with a nod to the grip the story still holds on people. Other demonic creatures to be immortalised in print include Spring-Heeled Jack, who struck fear in the hearts of Victorians. Sightings of the mysterious light-footed man, who could leap over 9ft (2.7m) fences, were recorded from Chichester to Liverpool and were first reported in The Times in the 1830s. Prof Rohan McWilliam, an expert on Victorian culture at Anglia Ruskin University, said popular Gothic fiction turned monsters such as Spring-Heeled Jack into unlikely heroes - partly in reaction to what was happening culturally at the time. "In the 19th Century you had a high tide of rationalism and these horror stories, and these monsters, acted as a counterweight to the rationalism," he said. The devilish ne'er-do-well, who terrorised people and chased a gardener, according to a report from 1838, went on to inspire a novel named after him, written by Philip Pullman. While the story is almost 200 years old, the motif of a mysterious, shadowy man continues to be used in modern-day tales. Slender Man, a horror character created on the internet by Eric Knudsen in 2009, is a present-day example of a mythological creature. "The Slender Man is unique only in the fact that he was generated via online forums," says Shira Chess, assistant professor of mass media arts at the University of Georgia. "This affected the speed of his spread but not the essence of his story. In many ways, the Slender Man resonates with older styles of storytelling, fairy myths, and other modes of folklore." Jonathan Downes, a director of the Centre for Fortean Zoology, says even though it was created in the digital world, the Slender Man bears the hallmarks of old-school folklore and looks likely to influence writers in generations to come. Maitland says novelists, poets and songwriters are likely to continue finding inspiration from these creatures of old and new folklore. "Ever since man first sat around telling stories these shadowy creatures have been a big part of those stories," she says. "Writers are drawn to these creatures because they stir something primeval in us." "I could not tolerate script writers changing the history of the novels," she told the BBC. "The temptation of film makers to treat historical fact and fiction as if they were one and the same thing... is something I oppose." Gregory's book The Other Boleyn Girl was adapted for film in 2008. Gregory told the BBC that script writers "of course have the right to adapt the fiction to a drama". She added: "It's one of the interesting issues that emerges when writing a hybrid like historical fiction, when the history is on the record but the fiction (the material of the novel) is of course imagined." The best-selling author added that this was a new clause for her contracts and that it "doesn't apply to works already in development, but I imagine I will try to apply it in all future contracts". She was asked about the film adaptation during a talk at Edinburgh International Book Festival, saying that "having gone to all the trouble of getting it right in the novel" it was frustrating to have the content altered, The Times reported. She told The Times: "Let me assure you that when the producers have put £72m on their film production, they are not going to stop because I say, 'that hood is not right'. "They are going to say, 'thank you honey, have another glass of champagne'. "Once you are in a big, big, massive, expensive production like that, your importance and interest diminishes probably proportionately. So I was 72 million times less important than I was at the beginning of it." She said of changes made to the history in her books: "It distresses me so much when I am trying to defend the history of the film, having gone to the trouble of getting it right in the novel. "You know, three years' work and now you are saying it doesn't matter. It matters to me very much." Two of Gregory's books have been adapted by the BBC for drama series - The White Queen and The Other Boleyn Girl. She told The Times that when the latter was adapted for the corporation in 2003, she was closely involved in the script. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or email [email protected]. The Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument will become the largest network of oceanic protected areas in the world. The memorandum bans commercial fishing, deep-sea mining and other extraction of underwater resources in the area. Environmental campaigners welcomed the move although some critics say President Obama could have done more. "This really is a matter of stewardship. It's also a matter of generational responsibility," said US Secretary of State John Kerry. "We have a responsibility to make sure... the future has the same ocean to serve it. Not to be abused, but to preserve and utilise." The Pacific Remote Islands Area consists of seven scattered islands, atolls and reefs that lie between Hawaii and American Samoa. The waters that surround these islands are home to corals, seabirds, sharks and vegetation not found anywhere else in the world. President George W Bush set up the marine preserve in 2009 but until now it only encompassed an area 50 nautical miles (92km) from the islands' shores. Now the protected area is being expanded to 200 nautical miles from the unique atolls. It will cover 490,000 sq miles (1.2m sq km) - an area roughly three times the size of California. Mr Obama first signalled his intention to expand the monument in June and asked for comments on the final boundaries from fishermen, lawmakers and scientists. Environmental groups greeted the announcement and said they hoped it would spur other nations to take similar steps. "The president acted expeditiously, while the area is still largely pristine and undisturbed," said Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council. However, some critics say the expansion falls short of what Mr Obama could have done had he used the full extent of his powers. The islands affected are divided into five regions and the expansion only involves three of them. If Mr Obama had expanded the preserve in all five regions he could have protected more than 780,000 sq miles, some environmentalists say. The National Council of Independent Monitoring Boards said Friday's riot at HMP Birmingham was "yet more evidence" to stoke concerns over prison violence. Its president John Thornhill warned low staffing levels meant prisoners were denied a range of facilities. There were incidents at Cardiff Prison and Hull Prison on Sunday involving Birmingham prisoners, it has emerged. At Cardiff about four prisoners, who were transferred from Birmingham after the riot, were believed to have barricaded themselves into a cell in protest at the move, according to BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw. After two hours the matter was resolved when the prisoners surrendered and were taken to the segregation unit. Nobody was injured. As well as the incident at Hull Prison, there were minor outbreaks of trouble at several other jails over the weekend. Friday's riot at Birmingham was the third in English jails in under two months, following trouble at Bedford and Lewes prisons. In Birmingham, riot squads and specially trained prison officers took back control after more than 12 hours of chaos. Stairwells were set on fire and paper records destroyed during trouble in four wings of the category B prison, run by private firm G4S. For more Birmingham and Black Country news The disturbance, which is understood to have involved up to 600 inmates, was described by the Prison Officers' Association as the worst since the Strangeways jail riot 26 years ago. Mr Thornhill said independent monitoring boards, which operate in every prison in England and Wales, have regularly questioned staffing levels. He said they were "frustrated" by a lack of response to the issues raised in their annual reports. Mr Thornhill said "tension and violence" increased when facilities were denied. "The result, as we have seen in recent weeks, is an increase in riots that damage the system and individuals," he said. The chairman of the Parole Board has warned that the prison population must be reduced to avoid further rioting. Justice Secretary Liz Truss is to address MPs over the Birmingham riot later. The 23-year-old former Hampshire and Middlesex player is due to arrive in June and stay at New Road for the remainder of the summer. "I'm absolutely thrilled to be heading back to England in 2012," said Hughes. "Worcestershire is a quality organisation and I can't wait to meet my new team-mates and re-acquaint myself with English conditions." After being called up to the Australia team at the age of 20 in February 2009, the left-hander became the youngest player to score successive centuries in both innings of a Test Match - in only his second Test. But Hughes, currently playing for Australia in their Test series against New Zealand, has managed just once more ton in his overall total of 32 Test match innings, in which he has hit 1,072 runs at 34.58. He was part of the Australian side which lost by seven runs to New Zealand on Monday - but he is not in the best form, having had a run of scores of 9, 9, 88, 11, 10, 7, 4 and 20 in his last eight Test innings. Phil Hughes is a heavy run scorer with a career ratio of a century every four games in first-class cricket "My previous stint in England helped my batting enormously and I have high expectations that spending the 2012 Australian winter in the UK will do the same," he added. "I look forward to helping Worcestershire be a force in all forms of the game in 2012." Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes added: "To gain the signature of the current Australian Test match opener is a tremendous boost for the club and the players for the 2012 season. "Phil is a heavy run scorer with a career ratio of a century every four games in first-class cricket. "In 2009, he amassed 574 first-class runs in three games for Middlesex, including three centuries, which demonstrates his hunger for run-scoring. "I look forward to working closely with Phil during the second half of the season." Birmingham and Solihull coroner Louise Hunt is hearing an application to resume inquests into 21 deaths. She has ordered police to produce any information on claims the force may have been tipped off in advance. The coroner also set a provisional date of 6 April when she will deliver her decision about whether the inquests can resume. Ashley Underwood QC, who represents some victims' families, said there was "reason to believe it's the case" police received information. More on this story and others Birmingham and Black Country Mr Underwood said West Midlands Police officers may have wrongly prosecuted six men - who became known as the Birmingham Six and whose convictions were quashed in 1991 - knowing they were innocent in order to protect their "mole" and cover up their prior knowledge of the attacks. "There is reason to believe the gang of murderers had an informant in their ranks and that the police knew in advance," he said. "And there is reason to believe the police had sufficient time, between the telephone warnings and the first bomb going off, to evacuate - and that the emergency services could have arrived earlier - but that records about those things were falsified." Ms Hunt asked the force to provide by 3 March a list of evidence which has been lost or destroyed. She also asked for the disclosure of documents to do with: advanced warnings and timings of the bombings, the response times on the night, whether or not there was an informant, whether all reasonable steps were taken at the time and whether documents were falsified to protect an informant or others. A summary of the police investigations carried out since 1991 was also requested. Julie Hambleton, whose 18-year-old sister Maxine died in the attacks, said she was "cautiously optimistic" about the inquests resuming. Speaking outside the hearing, she said: "What the coroner has asked for is for West Midlands Police to provide a body of material in order to get the evidence for the families involved and to get the inquest resumed." The coroner said further submissions may be made on 23 March. She said she was adjourning proceedings because of an "evidential vacuum" around claims made by the victims' families' lawyers. Jeremy Johnson QC, for West Midlands Police, said its chief constable has no "principled objection" to the resumption of the inquests, but questioned whether Ms Hunt had jurisdiction to hear them. But he added West Midlands Police would comply with the coroner's direction to supply any documents, statements and supporting evidence on a number of key factors raised by the families. He also said the criminal investigation was still open. A separate police review of evidence in the case, ending in 2014, discovered that of the 168 original exhibits listed for the Birmingham Six trial, 35 items could not be located. Mr Johnson said the possibility of fresh forensic evidence was now being pursued with the help of the Army. He said police were looking at information about the bombings in a book published by a former member of the IRA. They were also considering an account given to officers last August by a former firefighter, Alan Hill. An inquest was opened and adjourned in 1975 but, because the case was subject to a criminal investigation that resulted in the conviction of six men, it was never completed. The families argue the inquests should now be resumed. This could be the last chance, in their lifetimes, for campaigners to have evidence heard in public which wasn't available in 1974. They'll hope coroner Louise Hunt will agree the inquest should be reopened and key witnesses, who the families believe can identify the bombers, be called. West Midlands Police says the investigation remains active but there's not enough evidence for a fresh prosecution. Calls for a public inquiry have fallen on deaf ears, which means an inquest remains the best chance for the families to discover who was responsible for the attacks. Ordinarily a coroner's job is to determine how, where and when a person died, as well as their identity. In this case all of those facts are known, but the coroner can also investigate the circumstances of someone's death. The victims' relatives are pinning their hopes on a resumption, and that it will be as far-reaching as the Hillsborough Inquest. Birmingham pub bombings inquests: What we know Parker, who was once nominated for the Turner Prize, is the fifth election artist and the first woman in the role. She will observe the election campaign, which culminates in the vote on 8 June, and produce a piece in response. She said she felt honoured by the invitation, adding: "We live in scary but exhilarating times. The whole world order seems to be changing." With "all its challenging issues and complexity", she said, the election "is an event that I'm excited to engage with and I look forward to sharing my finished work". Parker's work has been displayed in galleries across the world including in London's Tate Modern, the British Library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The official election artist is chosen by the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art, and Parker will have to complete the piece by early September. She said three names were put forward to the committee and she was asked if she would like to be one of the names. She told Radio 4's Today programme: "I did think about it, but not for too long because I'd been, like everyone, totally absorbed in politics. Listening to the American election, worrying about the French election and worrying about our own election. "I thought well I might as well immerse myself completely." Despite having "all kinds of ideas", Parker said she had to be realistic about what can be managed within the time frame. She told the programme that the committee had asked her to do something on social media because she was "not a social media person". When asked about what she might have planned, Parker said she was "more interested in the people, not necessarily the politicians". She said she would try to go to at least one of each party's hustings and "get out of the big metropolitan centres". She admitted there was "room for humour" with the commission. Parker is best known for large-scale creations like Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View, where the Army blew up a garden shed and she suspended the fragments around a light source. Her piece The Maybe, staged at London's Serpentine Gallery, was a collaboration with actress Tilda Swinton, who lay, as if asleep, in a glass cabinet. One of her most recent projects was Magna Carta (An Embroidery), a hand-sewn Wikipedia page to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the document. Her final election artwork will join the parliamentary art collection, which documents the history of Parliament, later this year. Alison McGovern, chairwoman of the committee, said she was delighted at Ms Parker's selection. "It'll be really exciting to see how her ideas for this artwork develop over the campaign period," she said. The role of election artist was created in 2001 by Tony Banks, the then chairman of the parliamentary arts advisory committee. Mr Banks said in 2001 that recording an election on canvas was something that had not been done recently. "It just occurred to me that we have war artists, so why not have an election artist?" BBC Sport takes a look at the quirkiest and more interesting statistics from the weekend. After 29 goals were registered across Saturday's six games, stats fans were purring in anticipation at the prospect of a record-breaking weekend of goal action. Alas, three 1-0 wins on Sunday let the side down, before Liverpool's 2-2 draw with West Ham left a final sting in the tail. That meant there were 36 goals in total over the weekend - seven short of the Premier League record of 43 set between 5 and 6 February 2011 (since the league was reduced from 22 to 20 teams in 1995). But there is still hope for the goal fanatics out there - this season is on course to be the highest scoring in the era of a 20-team Premier League. There have been 434 goals from 150 games this term and if the scoring continues at its current rate, it will reach 1,098 by the time the 380th and final game is played in May. The record to beat is 1,066 from 2011-12. And when you take the average number of goals per game, this season's average of 2.89 - if maintained - would be the highest in Premier League history. Oldham Athletic stayed up and Crystal Palace went down, while Ian Rush, John Barnes, Teddy Sheringham and Peter Ndlovu were all on the scoresheet. Ace of Base were in the top 10. When are we talking about? The final day of the 1992-93 season - 8 May 1993. That is how far back you have to go to find the last time six home teams scored three goals on the same day in the Premier League. It happened again on Saturday when Watford, Arsenal, Burnley, Hull, Swansea and Leicester all put three goals past their visitors. For those of you old enough to remember 1993, here's a trip down memory lane. For those of you not old enough to remember 1993 - yes, Oldham, Coventry and Sheffield United used to be Premier League teams. Ask most football fans what the scourge of modern football is, and they will probably answer with one of three things: players wearing gloves, feigning injuries and diving. And this weekend diving flopped itself back on to the agenda when Robert Snodgrass looked suspiciously untouched when he won a penalty for Hull City against Crystal Palace on Saturday. The player apologised, saying he was "riding the tackle". Palace boss Alan Pardew said he should be "embarrassed". BBC Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy called for retrospective punishment. But have yellow cards for simulation - to use Fifa's jargon - been on the rise in the Premier League? Interestingly, the answer is no. The highest number of yellow cards dished out for diving was 33 in 2012-13 - 2.64% of the total for the campaign. The second highest was 27 (2.13%) in 2008-09. This season, there have been eight bookings for diving - 1.28% of the total of 623 yellow cards. That ratio would be the second lowest since 2007-08 if it continues. Regardless of how you felt about Robert Snodgrass' means of winning a penalty, there is no doubting his importance to Hull City. The Scotland international scored the penalty and also provided an assist in the 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace, meaning he has been involved in 50% of his side's goals this season (scoring five, assisting two of Hull's 14 goals). But that fades in comparison to Jermain Defoe's influence at Sunderland. The striker, who won the last of his 55 England caps in 2013, has been involved in a monstrous 71.4% of the goals his side have scored in the Premier League this season (scoring eight, assisting two of Sunderland's 14 goals). "But who has been the most influential player for a team in any particular season?" we hear you cry. That would be Matt Le Tissier for Southampton in 1993-94. Just the 25 goals and nine assists from his team's 49 goals that season - a 69.4% involvement rate. Could Defoe be on course to top it? Hands up those of you who remembered Stefano Okaka scoring for Fulham against West Ham on 2 May 2010. Give yourself a pat on the back if you did. The Italian was on loan from Roma at the time and journeyed on to Bari, Parma, Spezia, Sampdoria and Anderlecht before, 2,414 days later, scoring in the Premier League again, this time in Watford's 3-2 win over Everton on Saturday. Brilliantly though, 2,414 days is nowhere near being the longest period of time a player has waited between scoring a Premier League goal. That title belongs to no-nonsense defender Matt Jackson, who went a whole 4,935 days (more than 13 years) between Premier League goals - stretching from 8 May 1993 for Everton in a win against Manchester City, all the way to 11 November 2006 when he netted for Wigan in a victory over Charlton. Henrikh Mkhitaryan's first Premier League goal for Manchester United secured a 1-0 win over Tottenham on Sunday - but it also sealed a small victory for Armenia. The former Soviet republic, with a population of three million, became the 96th different nation to have a Premier League goalscorer. But here is the big question: can we reach 100 this season? Well, technically, yes. It is tenuous, but these are the four players who would have to score this season to bring up the century. Celina is on loan at FC Twente, so he would need a recall. Arlauskis is on loan at Espanyol. And he is a goalkeeper. But, you never know... Have we missed a current Premier League player whose country has never had a goalscorer in the competition? Tell us using #bbcfootball on Twitter. One horse had to be put down after becoming stranded in waterlogged ground at Fosse Park. Almost 40,000 people have supported a Facebook campaign to move the remaining 20 horses. The landowner, Everards Brewery, said the horses had been given fresh hay and "have access to dry land". The horses' owner said the animals were "in good condition", but would not comment on whether he would move them. Stephen Gould, managing director of Everards, said the company was helping the man relocate his horses as soon as possible. Mr Gould said: "The owner of the horses has cooperated with the RSPCA and both he and the RSPCA are in regular contact, including communication between both parties' professional equine vets." Despite public concerns Mr Gould denied that the land was unsuitable for grazing. Local farrier Mark Johnson, who started the campaign, said: "They need to move off the site as soon as possible. There is no fresh available water and it is highly likely to be contaminated. "The horses are thin but in a reasonable condition - the amount of exposure to the elements is not good either. "The RSPCA need to go to the government and ask for the legislation that they need to deal with this sort of situation," he added. Mr Johnson was filmed trying to rescue one stranded horse which had to be put down later. A RSPCA spokesman said it was monitoring the welfare of the horses and was giving assistance to the owner, but added that no charges were being considered. "We are addressing some issues with the horse owner including broken and poor fencing and litter in the field and quality of feed," the spokesman said. "We also want to reassure the public that our officers will continue to attend the location daily to check on the welfare of the horses." Tony Tyler of World Horse Welfare said: "This is a situation that is being echoed up and down the country. Horses are in situations that are not suitable for them." He added "it is very difficult for the RSPCA or other organisations to act". A second "decomposed" body has been found in the fields but a cause of death could not be established, a RSPCA spokesman said. Writing on Twitter, Lynch said he had not been given enough money "to do the script in the way I felt it needed to be done". "This weekend I started to call actors to let them know I would not be directing," he added. Lynch's departure casts doubt on the revival, which was commissioned by US network Showtime last October. The auteur, whose credits include Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, created the cult drama with Mark Frost in the 1990s. Revolving around the murder of teenage schoolgirl Laura Palmer, the show was a precursor of dense, cinematic TV shows like The Sopranos and The Wire. It won three Golden Globe awards in 1991, including best TV series and best actor for Kyle MacLachlan. MacLachlan played Special Agent Dale Cooper, an FBI agent who got drawn into the seedy town of Twin Peaks as his murder investigation took several surreal turns. He was due to reprise the role in the Showtime revival when production began later this year. Lynch and Frost have already written scripts for the nine episode series, which was due to air in 2016, marking the 25th anniversary of the original finale. In his statement, Lynch said: "I love the world of Twin Peaks and wish things could have worked out differently." However, he hinted the show might go ahead in his absence. "Twin Peaks may still be very much alive at Showtime," he wrote. Soon after his comments were published on Twitter, Showtime released the following statement. "We were saddened to read David Lynch's statement today since we believed we were working towards solutions with David and his reps on the few remaining deal points. "Showtime also loves the world of Twin Peaks and we continue to hold out hope that we can bring it back in all its glory with both of its extraordinary creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost, at its helm." And behind the scenes the whole place is seething with intrigue and jockeying for position. The first point to make is that almost no-one imagined the election two weeks ago would lead to the current hung Parliament, so all kinds of factions and individuals are still coming to terms with the new scenario and are still working out their objectives and strategies. Already the government has made its opening procedural gambit of declaring a two-year parliamentary session. I doubt this move is anything to do with avoiding a vote on a Queen's Speech in 2018, as some have speculated. To be sure it would be bad news for any government to be defeated on their legislative programme, but Labour can table a no-confidence motion at any time, so removing one possible occasion for such a vote seems an unlikely ploy. What the two-year session does do is ensure there is plenty of time available to frustrate delaying tactics against key legislation, including Brexit legislation. Meanwhile, the opposition parties are busy putting down amendments to the Queen's Speech, on issues ranging from UK access to the EU single market to keeping EU environmental standards. The problem they have is that they seldom support each other's efforts, so Labour MPs, for example, are unlikely to jump aboard a Lib Dem amendment on single market access - although they might produce one of their own. It will be interesting to see if Mr Speaker repeats his 2013 decision to allow a backbench amendment to the Speech to be voted on which allowed pro-Brexit Tory backbenchers to push David Cameron to commit to an EU referendum. There are also more elections - this time to internal Commons posts, like select committee chairs. As I detailed in earlier posts, there is no timetable in place for these, but plenty of candidates have already taken the field, vying for key jobs like the (vacant) chairs of the Treasury Committee and the Business Committee. A deputy speakership is in play, following the defeat of Labour's Natascha Engel, and further down the line there are MPs angling for key internal posts like the Chair of the Liaison Committee, the super-committee of select committee chairs, which is best known for its sessions quizzing the prime minister, but which also has a key role in the Commons internal machinery. Quite a number of hopefuls are already canvassing, although it might be quite a while before the actual elections take place. Over in the Lords, peers are working out what the constitutional implications of a hung Parliament might be for them; do the normal conventions protecting bills promised in a winning party's manifesto apply, when there is a minority government? Inquiring minds want to know, and these abstruse questions, normally pondered only in political science essays, may become as real as a slap in the face, a little later in the Parliament. The Commons convenes at 2.30 pm. There are no departmental question times scheduled until after the Queen's Speech debate, but the opportunity is there for MPs to ask urgent questions. There will probably a statement from the prime minister on the outcome of the latest EU summit - and that will give MPs the chance to examine her promise that three million EU citizens, living in the UK, will be allowed to stay on in the UK post-Brexit, with the same rights to welfare, pensions and education as UK citizens, provided they've been resident for five years. The main debate - carrying on from the statement - will be the continuation of the debate on the Queen's Speech - where the focus will be on Brexit and foreign affairs. It will be an early test of the idea that opinion in the Commons has shifted towards a "softer Brexit". The day ends with an adjournment debate led by Labour MP Jim Fitzpatrick on the Grenfell Tower fire. In the Lords (2.30 pm) proceedings being with the introduction of a straggler from David Cameron's resignation honours list - Baroness Wyld, the former Downing Street aide Laura Wyld, who had served as head of the Prime Minister's Appointments Unit, which included vetting nominations to the House of Lords. Then keep an eye out for a question from the Labour peer, Roy Kennedy on the 2018 Parliamentary Boundary Reviews, which aim to create a 600-seat House of Commons, and which many suspect may now be scrapped. The Lords debate on the Queen's Speech focuses on business, economic affairs, energy, transport, environment and agriculture. In the Commons (11.30 am), question time resumes with Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy ministers under the microscope. Then, the debate on the Queen's Speech resumes, with the focus on education and local services. The adjournment debate, on improvements to neighbourhood planning is led by the Conservative, John Howell, one of the architects of the local planning reforms put in place by the coalition government. In the Lords (2.30 pm) the debate on the Queen's Speech continues, with the theme for the day, home affairs, justice, constitutional affairs, devolved affairs, communities and local government - expect more discussion of the Grenfell Tower disaster. In the Commons (11.30 am) the first business is Northern Ireland questions, which takes on extra interest in the finely-balanced circumstances of a hung Parliament. At noon comes the first Prime Minister's Questions since the election - where the dynamics will be very different from those the last time Theresa May faced Jeremy Corbyn at PMQs. It will also see the debut of Ian Blackford as the SNP's new Westminster leader. The Queen's Speech debate covers health, social care and security - one of the biggest and most sensitive election issues, and at the end of the debate MPs will vote on Labour's main amendment (technically, MPs are voting on a motion of thanks to the Queen for her Speech, and the amendment will probably include "respectful regrets" about various aspects of the government legislative programme it contained). The adjournment, led by the Lib Dem leadership contender, Sir Vince Cable, is on another electorally-sensitive subject: the school funding formula in London. In the Lords (3pm) questions to ministers are followed by another day of debate on the Queen's Speech - where the theme will be Exiting the European Union - with considerable speculation on how the Lords will approach Brexit legislation, this debate should be watched and analysed closely, particularly when the many pro-EU Conservative peers speak. So far 59 peers are down to speak, and it will be interesting to see if the amendment proposed by the former Labour Transport Secretary, Lord Adonis, regretting that the speech "contains no proposal for Her Majesty's Government to seek to negotiate continued membership of the European Single Market and Customs Union," attracts any Conservative votes. There are two points to note about that motion: first, the wording is likely to evolve somewhat before Wednesday, as it is honed to maximise its cross-party appeal; second the vote is likely to be at the end of proceedings, when quite a number of peers may have departed, making a government defeat less likely. In the Commons (9.30 am) the day begins with Culture, Media and Sport questions, followed at 10.10 am by questions to the Attorney General. (But before that, at 9am, the annual private members' bill ballot is held, setting seven lucky MPs, and maybe a few more, on course to present the legislation of their choice for debate in the autumn.) Then MPs move on to the final day of the Queen's Speech debate - on the economy and jobs. MPs will also vote on the remaining amendments - raising the interesting question of whether the Speaker will select any backbench amendments, as he did when there were strong calls for an EU referendum, in 2013. The final vote on the Queen's Speech will be the first real test of the government's majority. The votes on amendments from opposition parties are usually less of a test, because, for example, the SNP or Lib Dems might not wish to vote with Labour. But the final vote does pit the government and its Commons supporters against the united forces of the Opposition. In the Lords (11 am) watch out for the question from the Labour peer, Lord Dubs, author of the "Dubs amendment", on the number of unaccompanied child refugees entering the UK under the Immigration Act 2016 or the Dublin III regulations. After question time, peers move on to their final Queen's Speech debate on education, health, welfare, pensions and culture. Neither House sits on Friday 30 June. Trump beat his fellow Englishman 5-4 and goes on to face Scotland's 77th-ranked Scott Donaldson, who beat Zhou Yuelong of China 5-0. Hawkins had fought back from 3-1 down to lead 4-3, before Trump clinched the last two frames for victory. Stuart Bingham will face Robert Milkins in Saturday's other semi-final. World number two Bingham was 4-0 up on fellow Englishman Stuart Carrington in their quarter-final before the latter won three consecutive frames. However, Bingham recovered to clinch the match 5-3 and will play Milkins on Saturday evening after the world number 32 saw off Kurt Maflin 5-2. Hawkins, leading by 24 points in the deciding frame, missed match-ball yellow against Trump that would have secured a semi-final spot. Trump continues the hunt for his first Welsh Open crown and second ranking title of the season, having won the European Masters in October. "I am still in a bit of shock because I thought it was all over when I left him the yellow," he said. "He seemed to hit it well, but somehow it stayed out. "Sometimes you play well and lose and today I didn't play very well and managed to get through. There is a lot of skill in snooker, but you need a bit of luck." Donaldson, 22, who will play Trump in Saturday afternoon's semi-final, had never previously been beyond the last 16 of a ranking event. He is already guaranteed £20,000 - the biggest pay day of his career. "I have been playing a lot of TV matches recently and I think that helped me," said the Scot, who turned pro in 2012. "I have been pleased for about a year now with my game, I can't pinpoint why, maybe it's confidence. "I will go back to the hotel and calm myself down and get ready for the next match."

He later revealed the muntjac "had to be put to sleep due to her injuries". The London 2012 gold medallist said it was a "really sad day" and called the animal his "new best friend". In a series of tweets, the athlete, 28, said he had named the deer either Melvin or Doris as he initially wasn't sure if it was male or female. The RSPCA was informed but he later took the deer to Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Haddenham, near Aylesbury. He told followers its leg had been put in a splint and that hospital staff were "hopeful he/she will live". But he later expressed his sorrow that the animal had died. He said: "Really sad day today. Doris the injured deer I brought home yesterday had to be put to sleep due to her injuries." Tiggywinkles said the leg break had been "fairly minor" but the deer's pelvic injury was "beyond repair". A spokeswoman said: "It was too extensive. Normal bodily functions couldn't have happened and it was decided it was kindest to put her to sleep. "We are tremendously grateful to Greg because his actions meant she didn't suffer for too long. "They are not easy things to carry; they are very heavy and cumbersome - you need an Olympic athlete." BBC Wales' Week in Week out programme has revealed details of how the taxpayer may have lost out by £15m as a result of the way publicly-owned land was sold. It got me thinking about some of the biggest blunders made with public money. Here are some of the most infamous: It is fair to say, not all the Welsh Development Agency's investments were exactly a roaring success and the LG fiasco was perhaps its most infamous blunder. During the late 1990s, Welsh public bodies paid out £131m to LG companies to help them create 6,000 jobs. The trouble was only half that number of jobs were ever created, and by 2006 the last LG factory in Wales had closed. Although £71m was recovered it still meant a net loss of £60m to the taxpayer. Ouch. The Red Dragon project seemed to have it all - major investment, military importance and even a racy, patriotic name. The project, which began in 2000, planned to modernise Ministry of Defence (MoD) facilities at St Athan and build a £77m super hangar for fast jet repair. But in 2005, the MoD decided to switch work to other RAF bases. It ended up costing the taxpayer £113m and failed to create the thousands of jobs planned. In 2009, the then Defence Minister Quentin Davies said the decision to move fast jet repair away from St Athan resulted in savings elsewhere. He also said lessons had been learned from the failed project. Cooking lessons? On a bus? What could go wrong? Well… From 2006 the cooking bus was pulling up at primary schools across the country on a mission to teach children about making healthy meals. But a report published two years ago said it was unlikely to bring any health benefits and last month it was announced the bus would be sold off. Its last salad had been tossed. The total cost of the failed project was likely to be more than £5m and Public Health Wales acknowledged it needed to do things differently. To some extent you have to admire the optimism of the plan to create the world's first Shaolin centre outside of China... in Llangollen, Denbighshire. In 2007 the Welsh government bought the derelict River Lodge hotel with plans to lease it to community group Powys Fadog, led by martial arts expert Pol Wong. But the deal soon got the chop and two separate investigations found £1.6m of public money had been wasted. A Welsh government spokesman admitted there had been "shortcomings" and lessons had been learned (there is a pattern emerging). In 2001, the Welsh government made a seemingly laudable investment into the new high-tech world. Office spaces were built to act as incubators for high-tech start-ups. Ten "technium centres" were built, kitted out and ready for action. There was just one thing missing - the high-tech start-ups. Six of the units closed in 2010 and Andrew Davies, who was economic development minister at the time, said it had been a "waste of £100m of public expenditure". In fairness, the other four centres are still operating and have had some successes. Canolfan Cywain was opened in Bala, Gwynedd, with fanfare in April 2008 and was described as a heritage, rural life and sculpture centre. By September 2011, it was closed. It had been losing money and had cost the public purse a total of £3.4m. An investigation by the Wales Audit Office said it was likely to fail from the start, a Welsh government spokesman said improvements had since been made to the way projects are monitored and that - you guessed it - lessons had been learned. Jonathan Smith headed home a Ross Redman cross in the closing minutes. Premiership side Carrick Rangers crashed out 4-1 to Championship side PSNI at Taylor's Avenue however. Holders Ballymena United, Ards, Linfield, Crusaders, Cliftonville and Albert Foundry also progressed to the quarter-finals of the competition. Media playback is not supported on this device Lukas Adamczyk gave PSNI the lead against their top-flight opponents with a 20th-minute penalty but Scott McCrory's own goal saw the sides go in level at half-time. Paul McDowell, Johnny Courtney and Stuart Hutchinson were on target after the break to ensure their side's passage. Tony Kane's first-half penalty sent holders Ballymena United on their way to a 3-0 success against H&W Welders at the Showgrounds, with in-form strike pair Johnny McMurray and Cathair Friel both finding the net in the second half to give the final scoreline a more convincing look. Linfield met with stubborn resistance from the visiting Donegal Celtic defence in the first half of their tie at Windsor Park but second-half strikes from Reece Glendinning, Mark Haughey, Stephen Lowry and Paul Smyth saw the Blues safely through 4-0. Cliftonville were the night's highest scorers as they outclassed Premier Intermediate League outfit Bangor 7-1 at Solitude. The Reds went in three up at the interval thanks to goals from Jay Donnelly and Gary Donnelly (2) and soon after the break Gary Donnelly scored from the spot to complete his hat-trick. David McDaid and Ross Lavery got their names on the scoresheet, while Bangor scored an own goal and gained scant consolation with a Gerard McMullan penalty in the final minute. Andy Mitchell fired home and added a penalty in the first half to give Crusaders a 2-0 victory over Larne at Inver Park, while Albert Foundry were 1-0 winners over Newington in the only game not involving a Premiership team. Ards eased through to the draw for the next round by seeing off Knockbreda 3-1, Tommy Wray's own goal put Ards ahead with Carl McComb scoring the other two. David Johnson was Knockbreda's goalscorer. Prof Steve Cowley, CEO of the UK Atomic Energy Authority, spoke out over fears £55m in annual European Commission (EC) funding would be withdrawn. Joint European Torus, in Oxfordshire, experiments with fusion, with an aim to create clean, almost limitless energy. But Adam Afriyie MP said Prof Cowley's claims were "absolutely ridiculous". Prof Cowley said the issue was not simply about the jobs at Culham Science Centre, where Joint European Torus (JET) is based, but the fact the UK could lose the expertise of the staff. Prof Cowley said: "If we should lose our European funding, the lab would have to shrink to a tiny size and the jobs would go and the expertise would move to other countries… and we would have lost our edge in a future technology that's very, very important. "I'm very concerned for British science... this area of Oxfordshire has some of the greatest science and technology in the world... it's critical to our future. "After [Brexit] we will lose our influence, we will lose our capability to argue for it, and eventually the EU will put the experiments in this area of science in other places." But Mr Afriyie, Conservative MP for Windsor, said jobs were more at risk if the UK remained in Europe. He added: "If we were to focus outwardly as we have over hundreds of years as an island nation, I think both science and technology would be in a far better position in Britain." And John Cotton, leader of the Tory-run South Oxfordshire District Council which covers Culham, said: "Clearly we don't want to lose jobs in South Oxfordshire, and there are people whose livelihoods are dependent on trade grants from the EU, and we have to work hard to keep those staying here, but it's the bigger picture we have to look at. "Is the potential greater for us outside the EU, trading with the whole of the world, or inside? In my view it's outside." When asked for comment the EC said it did not speculate on what would happen if the UK was to leave the EU. 12 February 2017 Last updated at 11:19 GMT A high tide helped the animals get back into deeper water. Earlier, volunteers also managed to refloat around 100 of the more than 400 pilot whales which had beached on Thursday. The stranding has been one of the worst ever seen in New Zealand and lots of volunteers turned up to help. It is not clear why the pilot whales got stranded but experts say that when one becomes beached, it will send out distress signals which attracts other members of their pod, who then also get stranded. Sevilla briefly replaced Atletico at the top with a 3-2 win at Leganes and Granada threatened an upset thanks to Isaac Cuenca's superb early strike. But Atletico responded superbly with Carrasco making it 3-1 after an hour. Substitute Nicolas Gaitan added two more and late goals from Angel Correa and Tiago completed the rout. Diego Simeone's Atletico are unbeaten this season and could not have been more ruthless in brushing aside Granada before turning their attention back to the Champions League. Last season's beaten finalists have won both their opening group games and play Russian side Rostov on Wednesday. Simeone was able to withdraw Koke and forwards Antoine Griezmann and Kevin Gameiro in the second half against Granada in preparation for the trip to Russia. Griezmann did not get on the scoresheet but Belgium international Carrasco, 23, made up for it with his first La Liga goals of the season. He struck twice before the break to make it 2-1 before completing his first hat-trick for the club when converting a cross from Griezmann. Gaitan added the fourth almost immediately after coming on before a late flurry of three goals in the final eight minutes. Match ends, Atlético de Madrid 7, Granada CF 1.

The prime minister defended her response to the US president's executive order banning people from seven mainly Muslim countries. Labour's Jeremy Corbyn asked "just what President Trump has to do" for his UK state invitation to be withdrawn. The PM accused Labour of insulting the UK's most important ally. "The job of government is not to chase the headlines," she said during Prime Minister's Questions, later adding of Mr Corbyn: "He can lead a protest, I am leading a country." Mr Corbyn attacked Mrs May over her response to the US immigration crackdown, which includes halting the country's entire refugee programme for 120 days and has sparked protests around the world. The PM had said she was not afraid to speak frankly to the president, he said, adding: "What happened?" Mrs May said the migration policy was "divisive and wrong" and not something her government would consider, adding that the UK had a "proud history" of standing up for refugees. Mr Corbyn also demanded to know whether President Trump had told her about his plans during her visit to Washington and if she had tried to persuade him to change course. The PM said she had no advance notice of the executive order or how British nationals would be affected. She added that "we all" knew there would be "travel restrictions", because "President Trump said he was going to do this in his election campaign". Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage defended the US president in a speech in the European Parliament, accusing EU leaders who criticised the migration crackdown of "anti-Americanism". "Trump is motivated by protecting the United States of America from Islamic terrorism," he said. "I'm sure it's a great shock to you to see that a genuinely elected democrat is doing what he was put in to do."

Resuming on 93-2 in reply to the hosts' 220 all out, Notts declared on 508-9 after Hales' stunning knock. That left the hosts needing 288 in their second innings to make Notts bat again, but opener Luis Reece fell to Mark Footitt in the fourth over. Derbyshire reached the close on 45-1 after 12 overs, trailing by 243 runs. Hales, who won the last of his 11 England Test caps last summer against Pakistan, has been in excellent form in recent weeks. The 28-year-old smashed 95 off just 30 balls in the T20 Blast on Saturday and scored an unbeaten 187 to take Nottinghamshire to victory in the One-Day Cup final at Lord's last month. Media playback is not supported on this device County took an early lead when Tim Chow turned home Liam Boyce's cross before Darren O'Dea levelled from the penalty spot. Jim O'Brien was sent off for a second booking before Boyce slotted home from the penalty spot to put County back in front. Danny Williams saw red for Dundee late on as County sealed the points. It was the perfect start from the home side and a perfect finish for manager Jim McIntyre. This win cannot be underestimated. Just their second league victory of 2017, which significantly eases fears of a relegation battle. After a good start, Chow slotted home after fantastic work by Boyce. He gathered in a deep position, sparked a break and burst forward to lay on for Chow to slam home. Boyce was extremely unlucky moments after County conceded when he watched Dundee goalkeeper Scott Bain produce a magnificent save to divert the ball off the bar and away. He wasn't to be denied as County, up against it following O'Brien's second booking for a dive in the box, were rewarded for pressing on. Michael Gardyne was clearly caught as he danced into the area and Boyce was cool as ever, slotting the ball up the middle to earn a crucial win. County showed real character to deliver, down to 10-men, with the pressure very much on. This is a fifth defeat in a row for Dundee, but they will feel hard done-by after a spirited display. They responded strongly to falling behind with O'Dea and Mark O'Hara going close and showed character after the recent thumping by Aberdeen. O'Dea took responsibility when the chance arose after Henrik Ojaama was upended in the box and slammed home the resultant penalty. They held off a determined County in the second half and looked on course to maintain a two-point lead in the table over their hosts and a five-point advantage over bottom-placed Inverness until the dying embers of the match. It all went horribly wrong with the concession of that late spot kick. It got even worse when they claimed for another penalty, a melee ensued and Williams was ordered off for his second yellow. Manager Paul Hartley will see positives, but the reality is their situation is becoming more concerning with every passing game. Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "It was a nervous affair. I think in the end we deserved it. "We know that we have got character in that dressing-room. "It's been a disappointing campaign for us, we can't hide from that. "We've not won enough games at home. There's been several of those games that we should have, but people don't want to hear that. "I know I've got a group of players who care, who try to do the right things and you saw that tonight." Dundee assistant manager Gerry McCabe: "We can't fault the players for their commitment tonight, but so disappointing to lose the goal in the dying seconds of the game. "It was a positive response. The boys are so disappointed. "We'd have accepted a point and I'm sure Jim McIntyre would have been the same. "When they went down to 10 men, it opened up a wee bit for us and maybe an opportunity to go and win the game. "Seven games to go, seven cup finals for us. We've spoken to the players about this. "They know the situation. It's all about the results, not the performances now." Match ends, Ross County 2, Dundee 1. Second Half ends, Ross County 2, Dundee 1.

The latest figures show the overall number of assaults rose by a third to 23,775 in the year to June 2016. The figures reflect a continuing trend that began in 2012. Earlier in October, prison governors called for an independent public inquiry into the increase in violence and suicides in England and Wales. The latest Ministry of Justice statistics show there were 17,782 prisoner-on-prisoner assaults, meaning inmates are now a third more likely to be attacked than a year ago. Attacks on staff rose 43% to 5,954 incidents - almost 700 of which resulted in serious injuries. Attacks on staff in female prisons rose to 269 incidents, the highest rate for seven years. Deaths went up by a fifth to 324 in the year to September 2016. A majority of these - 179 - were due to natural causes but a third were self-inflicted. Five were homicides and the rest were still being assessed. 23,775 Assaults 34% Rise compared to the same period of the previous year 3,134 Serious assaults 5,954 Attacks on prison staff 5 Apparent homicides The MOJ report said: "The rise in assaults since 2012 has coincided with major changes to the regime, operating arrangements and culture in public sector prisons. "For example, restructuring of the prison estate including staff reductions, which have reduced overall running costs, and an increasing awareness of gang culture and illicit psychoactive drugs in prisons. "As well as the dangers to both physical and mental health, trading in these illicit drugs can lead to debt, violence and intimidation." Since 2010 the Ministry of Justice has cut spending by more than £2bn - about a third of its total budget. This was largely achieved by cutting the number and cost of prison places. Earlier this month the Prison Governors Association warned that only a public inquiry would get to the bottom of why jails have become far more dangerous. Days later, a prisoner at HMP Pentonville in London died and two others were critically injured following a stabbing. Responding to the latest figures, Justice Secretary Elizabeth Truss said prison reform was her top priority. "I am committed to making prisons places of safety and reform, where our dedicated officers are given the support they need to help offenders turn their lives around," she said. "That is why I have invested an initial £14m at 10 of our most challenging prisons and shortly I will be publishing a White Paper outlining the much needed reform across the prison estate to 2020 and beyond." But Mark Day, of the Prison Reform Trust, said: "Today's figures reveal a hidden emergency unfolding in our prison system. This cannot be allowed to become the new normal." The heads of 10 leading trusts, along with the NHS Employers organisation, have written to the home secretary to say patients are being put at risk. They argue operations might be cancelled unless nursing is listed as an occupation with official shortages. The Home Office said some available places actually remained unused. NHS Employers believes that 1,000 certificates of sponsorship, allowing nurses from outside Europe to work here, will be needed in the next six months. And it says "large numbers" of applications have already been rejected. Chief executive, Danny Mortimer, told BBC News: "These are nurses who've been recruited and could start work in the NHS shortly - but we can't get them into the country. "They are trained, registered nurses recruited from outside the EU - most typically from India and the Philippines. "Their absence will be keenly felt. We are asking Theresa May to relieve the pressure on already stretched services as we head into the winter months." NHS Employers wrote to Immigration Minister James Brokenshire about this issue in July - but has not yet received a reply. Mr Mortimer added: "We're not an organisation given to this level of public protest. "But the fact that 10 senior chief executives from different parts of England have signed this letter reflects the strength of concern across the NHS. "The public might, like us, be surprised to learn that the list of occupations with shortages includes computer games designers and even ballet dancers - but not nurses." The Migration Advisory Committee is reviewing this aspect of the immigration system but is not due to report until the end of the year. The NHS leaders argue action is needed before then - because extra UK nurses who are in training now will not be available until 2017 at the earliest. The trusts that signed the letter are: I went to UCLH, which has about 500 vacancies at the moment, out of 3,000 nurses. There are particular shortages in neonatal and cancer care, as well as on wards looking after children and older people. Many, but not all, of the vacancies can be filled with British nurses. Hospital staff have also visited the Philippines twice this year to recruit 168 nurses - but have only been able to get sponsorship certificates for about a dozen of them so far. The trust's director of workforce, Ben Morrin, said: "It's a very large source of frustration, and leaves us open to having to bring in more agency staff. "This is the most significant and pressing challenge to getting the NHS workforce we need." A Home Office spokesman said: "NHS trusts have been given more than 1,400 Tier 2 certificates of sponsorship for nurses since April this year, but over 600 of the places allocated to them in April and May this year have been returned unused. "The independent Migration Advisory Committee, which took evidence from a number of NHS trusts and representative bodies from across the UK, recommended against adding nurses to the Shortage Occupation List earlier this year. "We will continue to monitor Tier 2 take-up, but have no plans to change the level of the annual limit of 20,700 places." New rules have extended the role of the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) to higher education students in colleges and other settings. The OIA was set up in 2004 to review complaints from university students. All students need a "clear, independent and transparent process," said chief executive Rob Behrens. "No matter where a student chooses to study, he or she needs to be confident that, if things do go wrong, there is a clear, independent and transparent process to raise issues and, if necessary, complain formally. "The OIA has always argued that all higher education students should have the same right to seek independent redress if issues can't be resolved locally." The new rules, contained in the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which received Royal Assent in February, apply to a far wider range of higher education providers. These include further education and sixth-form colleges, teaching anything from foundation to postgraduate courses, as well as some school-based teacher training courses. Students can use the OIA as an ombudsman if they are not satisfied with the internal response of their college or university. Adjudicators review the grounds for the initial complaint and decide whether it is justified, partly justified or not justified. They also investigate whether the institution followed its own processes and regulations and whether these were fair and reasonable. They can recommend redress such as work being remarked or a penalty removed. In some cases, they can rule that a student is owed financial compensation. Since 2004, the free service has reviewed more than 13,000 complaints. "Part of the OIA's work is to share good practice across organisations so that people can learn from others' experience in preventing and resolving student complaints," said Mr Behrens. Higher education students in institutions that have only just been included in the scheme will not be able to refer complaints about issues that occurred before this term. However, continuing complaints will be eligible, for example concerning issues such as bullying that might continue into the new academic year. Richard Lloyd, executive director of the consumer watchdog Which?, said: "The ability for more students to be able to seek redress if they feel they have been treated unfairly by their provider is welcome news. "When students are feeling let down by their academic experience, it's crucial they can access support to resolve their complaints, regardless of where they're studying." Lawrence Kenwright says he intends to develop a total of five hotels in the city over the next few years. Mr Kenwright owns four hotels in Liverpool, including one themed around legendary football manager Bill Shankly. Manchester United and Northern Ireland star George Best already has an airport named after him in his native city. He says he has agreed to buy two buildings in Belfast with the deals expected to be completed within months. Neither of those buildings relates to the Best-themed hotel. Mr Kenwright says he wants to have his first Belfast hotel open in just nine months and the other four delivered in two years. If he can achieve that it would make him one of the biggest hoteliers in the city. Belfast is undergoing a hotel building boom with six under construction and more with planning permission. Mr Kenwright has arrived in Belfast with extremely ambitious plans. If he can deliver five hotels that would put him on a par with the veteran Belfast hotelier Lord Rana. However Lord Rana built that business over more than 20 years. Mr Kenwright wants to get to the same level in just two years. Former Oldham Athletic player Jack Tuohy, 20, said he believed the girl was aged 16 and denied her claim that she told him her real age. A jury at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court took an hour to find the midfielder not guilty. Mr Tuohy, of Shaw in Oldham, had been accused of five sexual offences against a child. He was cleared of two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and one count of meeting with a child following sexual grooming. Prosecutors had claimed he groomed the girl after meeting her at a schools tournament hosted by Oldham Athletic in 2015. A statement released on behalf of Mr Tuohy's family after the verdicts, said: "[Jack's] life has been on hold for 18 months during which time he has been under the most severe stress. "The family would now ask that they be left alone so that Jack can resume his very promising career." The man took a three-figure sum of money and a quantity of cigarettes during the raid on Adie's Self-Service in Bedford Road. Det Sgt Andy Machray said nobody was injured but a member of staff was "shaken" by the incident which happened at 18:30 on Friday. He appealed for help from anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area. The suspect was last seen on the lane to the rear of Sunnyside Road. He was white, in his early 20s and he wore casual clothing and a blue top. Two devices fitted with GPS trackers were released from a helicopter off the south coast of Iceland. Both floated west and passed the coast of Greenland. It then headed towards Canada before crossing east across the North Atlantic. One was found on Tiree and the other is in the sea off the Western Isles. The devices' journeys could be tracked on a website set up by an Icelandic TV science programme which was available to the public. The experiment was designed to highlight to the show's young viewers how rubbish dropped in the sea does not disappear but becomes a problem for people living on coastlines in other parts of the world. Rhoda Meek found the device that washed on the east coast of Tiree in the Inner Hebrides after being alerted to the possibility of a message in a bottle being there. She told BBC Alba: "I went out expecting to look for an actual bottle. "I saw a bright yellow float sitting on the rocks and, following my natural curiosity, found that this was the 'bottle'." Ms Meek said she would have loved to have had the device as a souvenir on her mantelpiece, but has carefully wrapped it up and posted it back to Iceland. The second device is still floating in the North Atlantic off the west coast of the Western Isles. The Icelandic scientists hope to extract data from the devices, which were fitted with GPS equipment usually used to track the movements of birds. They had expected the devices to wash up in Norway. Alistair Leiper, of Tooting, had a series of online video chats with two teenagers between December 2013 and April 2014, the court heard. The 37 year old admitted three counts of attempting to engage in sexual activity in the presence of a child and one of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. He was jailed for two years. Judge Alistair McCreath said Leiper's actions had "stained" his otherwise "exemplary" reputation. Southwark Crown Court heard the former police constable pretended to be a teenager and asked his victim her age, whether she liked "older boys" and if she "was a virgin". Defending, Edmund Gritt said there was "no grooming of these victims" and there was "no building of an apparent false friendship or trust". He was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and 12 months, to run concurrently, for attempting to engage in sexual activity in the presence of a child. He was also given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for five years and placed on the sexual offenders register for 10 years. Leiper has been dismissed from the Met. In a speech to conference, Mr Watson said that attacking Tony Blair and Gordon Brown's governments "is not the way to enhance our brand". "We won't win elections like that. And we need to win elections," he said, as he appealed for party unity. Leader Jeremy Corbyn has been critical of parts of New Labour's record. In other Labour conference developments: Acknowledging the bitter infighting and splits in the Labour Party of late, Mr Watson said it "hasn't been the best few months of my 30 years in the Labour Party". "We can't afford to keep doing this," he appealed, and said the British public could not afford for Labour to carry on as it has been either. Referring to the recent disunity, he added: "I don't know why we've been focussing on what was wrong with the Blair and Brown governments for the past six years but trashing our record is not the way to enhance our brand. "We won't win elections like that. And we need to win elections," he said, to prolonged applause and cheers. He said the prime minister could call an early election at any time, and urged Labour: "Now is the time to be proud of our party. We have to believe we can win and remember how much we achieve when we do." He said the 11 years of Labour government between 1997 and 2008 saw an "unbroken period of economic growth", and quoted at length the party's achievements. In response to a heckler in the audience who shouted "What about Chilcot?", Mr Watson turned around to Mr Corbyn who was seated on the stage behind him and said: "Jeremy, I don't think she got the unity memo." Appealing for change, Mr Watson said: "Capitalism is not the enemy, money is not the problem, business is not bad. The real world is more complicated than that." He added: "I don't say this because it's what wins elections. I say it because it's true and people know that it's true. And that is why it wins elections. "The British people need that from us," he adding, saying the Tories had been in power for seven years and would be for even longer unless Labour got its act together. Mr Watson also aimed fire at the prime minister in his speech, claiming that Theresa May "isn't up to the job". He accused her of "shambolic prevarication" over major policy issues, such as Hinkley Point, grammar schools and airport expansion and said she was "ducking responsibility" over Brexit. "Ducking and diving, humming and hahing is not what you want from a prime minister," he said, adding: "Theresa May, or Theresa may not, who knows. But everyone knows you can't run a country like that." He also said Mrs May - who took over from David Cameron as Tory leader and prime minister - had "no mandate". "Nobody has voted for Mrs May to be prime minister and that's a pretty flimsy basis on which to try and hold the Tories together, never mind the country." he added. The party's leader Andrew Holness, 43, vowed to create jobs, grow the economy and improve education and healthcare. Labor won 33 of the country's 63 seats in a vote with a 47% turnout, beating the People's National Party of Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller. Jamaica is heavily indebted, but austerity measures introduced by Ms Simpson Miller have led to growth. "We don't take it that we have won a prize," Mr Holness told supporters. "The cost of victory is to keep the commitments we have made." During the campaign, Mr Holness said he wanted to turn Jamaica into "the Silicon Valley of the Caribbean". Youth unemployment in the country currently stands at 38%. In 2013, under Ms Simpson Miller, the country agreed to a four-year International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan package in exchange for swapping its debt. Inflation fell to a 48-year low during her time in office. Last year GDP grew by 1.3%, according to World Bank figures. The culprits made off with cash and drinks including champagne and spirits in the break-in at Vecchia Bologna overnight on Friday, 5 December. It is thought more than one person was involved in the raid given the quantity of alcohol taken. Officers have warned the alcohol may be offered for sale in the Stirling area. They appealed for anyone with information to come forward. Ashley Isle, of Armthorpe, Doncaster, had been in a critical condition since the accident in the Dunsville area of the town on Saturday evening. His 18-year-old brother Thomas was pronounced dead at the scene. Thomas had been driving on the A18 High Street near Wyndthorpe Hall. Police said the boys' family was being supported by specialist officers. The family asked that "their privacy be respected at this difficult time". Ms Brown and a 29-year-old man were recovered from the water after police heard shouts near Wandsworth Bridge at 23:45 GMT on Tuesday. The pair were taken to hospital where Ms Brown died. A boat was later recovered from the water at the scene. Ms Brown lived in East Finchley but was originally from Welling in Bexley. A post-mortem examination at St George's Hospital on Friday failed to establish a cause of death and the coroner ordered further tests. An inquest will open on Tuesday. Sergei Volkov and Yuri Malenchenko are expected to exit the Pirs docking compartment at 13:10 GMT, for the second spacewalk of 2016. The cosmonauts are set to work outside for an estimated five-and-a-half hours. A spacewalk on 15 January by Briton Tim Peake and American Tim Kopra was halted when water was found in Kopra's helmet. Lt Col Volkov and Col Malenchenko will don their Orlan spacesuits and head out to install and retrieve several experimental packages on the Russian Zvezda and Poisk modules. They will also deploy devices called gap spanners on the hull of the station to facilitate the movement of crew members on future spacewalks. Among the experiments to be installed is Vinoslivost, which will test how various structural materials are affected by the harsh environment of space. The Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) crew members will also test the Restavratsiya experiment, which could be used to glue special coatings to external surfaces of the station's Russian segment. The veteran cosmonauts will also retrieve the European Space Agency's (Esa) Expose-R experiment, which investigates how cosmic radiation, microgravity and temperature extremes affect a variety of microbes and organic molecules divulged to the vacuum of space. This will be the sixth spacewalk for Malenchenko and the fourth for Volkov - whose father Aleksandr was also a cosmonaut. Col Malenchenko is one of the most experienced spacefarers in the world; during his stay on the ISS, he should become only the third person to have spent more than 800 cumulative days in space. The current record holder is fellow cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, who has spent 879 days in orbit. Investigators have been studying data from the spacewalk on 15 January, which had to be stopped early due to the water in Tim Kopra's helmet. The event was another reminder that spacewalking remains the riskiest activity undertaken by astronauts and cosmonauts. A similar, but much more serious, water leak nearly drowned Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano on a spacewalk on 9 July 2013. Col Kopra was wearing the same spacesuit used by Parmitano on that occasion; it was apparently given a thorough overhaul after the 2013 incident. On 15 December, Yuri Malenchenko had to pilot the Soyuz spacecraft to a manual docking with the space station after the failure of the vehicle's Kurs radar (which determines the relative distance of the capsule and its target). The Soyuz eventually docked safely, allowing the Russian, along with Col Kopra and Major Peake to join the crew of the ISS. On Tuesday, British astronaut Tim Peake spoke to hundreds of children from across England and Wales in a live video chat - the first of its kind since he arrived on the orbiting outpost. Follow Paul on Twitter. Gouano had made 19 appearances for the financially-troubled Trotters since joining the club in August. The 22-year-old has not featured for Neil Lennon's team since the defeat by Huddersfield on 2 January. The former France youth international will spend the rest of the season on loan at Turkish club Gaziantepspor. Meanwhile full-back Francesco Pisano, 29, has joined Italian side U.S. Avellino 1912 on loan until the end of the season and defender Lawrie Wilson, 28, has returned to Bolton after his loan deal with League One side Peterborough expired. In the UK the products affected include funsize Mars and Milky Way bars and boxes of Celebrations. In the Netherlands Mars and Snickers bars were also affected. It comes after a customer in Germany found bits of plastic in a Snickers bar in January. The plastic was traced back to the Mars factory in the southern town of Veghel in the Netherlands. A Mars Netherlands spokesperson said: "We cannot be sure that this plastic was only in that particular Snickers. We do not want any products on the market that may not meet our quality requirements, so we decided to take them all back." The recall only involved products manufactured at the Dutch plant. It covers mostly countries in Europe and does not extend to the US, where Mars is based. The company has not said how many bars are affected or how much the recall will cost. The UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) advised consumers not to eat the affected products and to contact Mars' consumer care team on 0800 952 0084, [email protected] or by post at Mars R1, FREEPOST, Mars Consumer Care. The products in the UK include Mars, Milky Way, Snickers and Celebrations in various package sizes: Mars is one of the world's biggest food companies, with 29 chocolate brands including M&M's, Galaxy, Twix, Bounty and Maltesers. It also makes Wrigley gum, Uncle Ben's Rice, Dolmio pasta sauce and Pedigree pet food. The company is one of the largest privately owned businesses in the US and had global sales of $33bn last year. The international community does not recognise its self-declared statehood, and the de facto government, which remains in a tense stand-off with Moldova, is economically, politically and militarily supported by Russia. A referendum on independence in September 2006, not recognised by Moldova or the international community, saw the territory reassert its demand for independence and vote in support of ensuing a union with Russia. Population 530,000 Main city Tiraspol Area 4,000 sq km (1,500 sq miles) Main religion Christianity Main languages Russian, Moldovan, Ukrainian Currency Trans-Dniester rouble Outgoing president: Yevgeny Shevchuk Yevgeny Shevchuk surprised many when he derailed longtime president Igor Smirnov's quest for a fifth term in the November 2011 presidential election. Despite leading the opinion polls in the lead -up to the December 2016 presidential election, Mr Shevchuk lost to former speaker Vadim Krasnoselsky. President-elect: Vadim Krasnoselsky Vadim Krasnoselsky beat incumbent president Yevgeny Shevchenko in the December 2016 elections with 62% of the popular vote. During his election campaign, Mr Krasnoselsky said he saw no point in Western-brokered talks as the region's goal was to join Russia, not to reintegrate with Moldova. He later softened his stance however, suggesting the Dniester region would pursue an "evolutionary" accession to Russia.. A former speaker of the region's parliament, he enjoys the support of the opposition Renewal party, which in 2016 entered into a partner relationship with the Moscow-based United Russia party. He served as the de facto government's interior minister from 2007 to 2012. He then left politics, returning as a member of parliament in 2015. The separatist authorities exercise tight control over the media. Many outlets are owned either directly by the region's government or by business groups with close links to the authorities. Western governments and media freedom groups say anti-government outlets face serious restrictions, adding that journalists often self-censor. These claims are denied by officials. Balloons carrying such messages and urging the country's citizens to defect are regularly launched by defectors, conservatives and religious groups. The authorities have stopped them in the past, citing public safety. Pyongyang often threatens violent retaliation for the launches. Many locals, concerned about possible attacks from the North, also oppose them. The latest balloon protest comes amid heightened tension on the peninsula. Earlier on Monday, South Korea's Supreme Court rejected a challenge by north Korean defector Lee Min-bok, involved in previous balloon launches, to restrictions on his balloon campaigning. The balloons sometimes also carry dollar notes, and even chocolate snacks. In 2014 North Korean soldiers attempted to shoot them down, leading to an exchange of fire across the border. The launches come at a time of heightened tension between the Koreas. The North has carried out a banned nuclear test, satellite launch and numerous missile firings this year, while the South has pulled out of the Kaesong jointly-operated industrial zone and is carrying out one of its largest-ever joint military drills with the US. The North occasionally flies its own propaganda leaflets south too, and the South Korean military has loudspeakers near the border, broadcasting a mixture of political and pop content north. About 2,000 delegates from 50 countries are expected to attend the conference in Reykjavik, which is concerned with the development and protection of the Arctic region. Other speakers include United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Ms Sturgeon said Scotland had "a strong commitment" to tackling climate change. The first minister was invited to the event by former President of Iceland Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson following the Paris Climate Change talks in 2015, and will take part in a full day of meetings and engagements. She said climate change was "one of the biggest challenges the world faces". She added: "It's a welcome step forward that EU members ratified the Paris Agreement last week. "I'll outline the steps Scotland is taking to cut emissions and how we want to use our position as a world leader to work with other like-minded countries and limit the effects of climate change in the coming decades." Saints arrived at Sandy Park on the back of five wins in six games and led 12-3 at the break thanks to tries from Lee Dickson and Ken Pisi. Olly Woodburn scored in the corner to cut Northampton's lead. And Gareth Steenson kicked four penalties, to add to a first-half effort, to seal victory for Exeter. Exeter, who have won four of their last five matches, have never finished in the top four but look well set for a play-off place and sit first after Saracens lost to Leicester later on Sunday. Rob Baxter's side were completely transformed after half-time as they dominated the breakdown and won 10 second-half penalties, with Saints failing to earn one. Saints finished last season as the league leaders but it has been a mixed campaign this time around following a poor start. Their pack struggled to impose themselves in the second half, although they thought they had nicked a losing bonus-point just before full-time but the Television Match Official ruled no try. Exeter assistant coach Ali Hepher: "We looked as though we weren't enjoying our rugby in the first half as we were frightened to make mistakes. "We had a quiet word at half-time and this freed us up. We created a different, positive mindset and we said that we needed to be positive and not afraid of errors. "We took on the message and turned the screw, we had a bit of self-belief." On replacing Thomas Waldrom: "We struggled at the breakdown, Thomas wasn't injured and Julian Salvi is one of the best in that area in the Premiership." Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder: "It's frustrating, we didn't get the bounce of the ball and a few refereeing decisions went against us. "I thought we scored a good try right at the end, which would have got us a bonus point, and the officials were wrong to disallow it. "I thought we were very good in the first half as we took our opportunities but our second-half performance was poor as we coughed up possession and kicked away too much ball. "The Six Nations period was a good one for us as we've won more than we've lost and hopefully we'll be able to integrate our international players back into our side." Exeter: Turner; Woodburn, Slade, Whitten, Short; Steenson, Lewis; Moon, Yeandle (capt.), Williams, Atkins, Parling, Ewers, Armand, Waldrom. Replacements: Taione, Hepburn, Rimmer, Stevenson, Salvi, Chudley, Hill, Bodilly. Northampton: Foden; K Pisi, G Pisi, Mallinder, Tuala; Hanrahan, Dickson (capt.); Waller, Haywood, Hill, Craig, Day, Harrison, Gibson, Fisher. Replacements: Marshall, Waller, Denman, Matfield, Wood, Fotuali'i, Myler, Wilson. The couple were expecting their second child in the late spring - the baby would have been the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's sixth great-grandchild. The spokeswoman said: "Very sadly, Zara and Mike Tindall have lost their baby. At this difficult time, we ask that everyone respects their privacy." The couple already have a daughter, Mia, who will be three next month. Mr and Mrs Tindall had announced in November they were expecting a baby, saying they were "very, very happy" and looking forward to 2017. The spokeswoman would not give any details about the circumstances surrounding the loss of the couple's baby. Buckingham Palace said it would not comment on the private matter. Equestrian champion Mrs Tindall, who is the daughter of the Princess Royal, and her husband, a former England rugby union player, were married in 2011. As a member of the Great Britain eventing team, Mrs Tindall won a silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics, and won the Eventing World Championship in 2006. Mrs Tindall, 35, does not hold a royal title and is not an HRH. Ex-England rugby captain Mr Tindall, 38, was a member of the 2003 Rugby World Cup winning team. Ranjit Power, owner of Ramada Park Hall Hotel and Spa in Wolverhampton, was reported missing on 14 May after he failed to return from a trip to India. His daughter Emma said she feared her father had been kidnapped or killed. "We've got to the point where we believe he is in a situation where he cannot get to a phone," she said. Ms Power appealed for anyone who may have been on the same flight as her father on 7 May to try to remember whether they saw Mr Power. "Ask friends, relatives, relatives of relatives, ask anyone," she said. "We just want our dad home." A footpath has been closed across a field on the farm at Bartonsham near Hereford where the animal was found. Mike Higgins, from Herefordshire Council, said the vet who examined the cow was "unsure" of the cause of death. He said: "Samples are now with the laboratory and we're awaiting the results." Decontamination equipment has been placed at the gates leading onto the field, together with warning signs saying the area is restricted. Council officials will stay at the site overnight. Mr Higgins said: "That's the normal practice - Defra contact us and the local authority has a duty placed on them to dispose of an animal in these circumstances." A Defra spokesman said that whenever a cow dies in a field it is routine for tests to be done. Anthrax is a notifiable disease and any suspected outbreak must be reported to Defra. Nyah James, 14, was found dead at her home in Blaenymaes, Swansea, on 6 February. Jordan Clements, 20, told one girl she would be "strung up with the dead cows in the butchers". He admitted two counts of harassment and two of sending communications of an indecent or offensive nature. Swansea Magistrates' Court heard how Clements told police he sent the messages when angry and upset and wanted to make the girls feel the way his sister had felt. His victims - who cannot be identified - felt frightened and anxious by the messages, the court heard. The case was adjourned for reports. He also asked why the US justice department, which Mr Sessions leads, is not investigating Hillary Clinton. Mr Trump has made clear he is unhappy with Mr Sessions for recusing himself from an FBI inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Last week, the president expressed regret about appointing Mr Sessions to be the US top prosecutor. In one of a volley of Monday morning tweets, Mr Trump said: "So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?" Last Wednesday, Mr Trump told the New York Times that the former Alabama senator "should have never recused himself". "And if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else," Mr Trump added. During recent conversations with West Wing staff, Mr Trump has raised the possibility of replacing Mr Sessions with former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Axios reports. Mr Sessions was one of then-candidate Mr Trump's earliest supporters in Washington. He recused himself from the Russia inquiry after failing to disclose a meeting with the Russian ambassador during his confirmation hearing. Mr Trump's online remarks come as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, denied collusion with the Russians in prepared testimony shortly before his appearance with one of the several congressional committees that is scrutinising alleged Russian attempts to influence the US presidential election. Mr Kushner, who keeps a very low media profile, will attend a private session on Monday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, and then appear before the House version on Tuesday. In the statement to both congressional committees he released on Monday, he says: "I did not collude, nor know of anyone else in the campaign who colluded, with any foreign government." "With respect to my contacts with Russia or Russian representatives during the campaign, there were hardly any," he says. At the end of the statement he speaks of "perhaps four contacts with Russian representatives" both during the campaign and after. Mr Trump also on Monday attacked the Democratic ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Congressman Adam Schiff, saying: "Sleazy Adam Schiff, the totally biased Congressman looking into 'Russia,' spends all of his time on television pushing the Dem loss excuse!" The California congressman responded to the president's tweet, writing "the problem is how often you watch TV, and that your comments and actions are beneath the dignity of the office". The Twitter tirade, which began at around 07:00 Washington time, started with a new take on a Trump campaign motto. "Drain the Swamp should be changed to Drain the Sewer - it's actually much worse than anyone ever thought, and it begins with the Fake News!" wrote Mr Trump, ahead of an afternoon speech on healthcare. He added that Republicans "have a last chance to do the right thing" and repeal President Barack Obama's healthcare law. Monday's tweets come after a weekend in which Mr Trump targeted even Republicans from his own party, saying they "do very little to protect their president". The memo said the information was obtained from a man held in Ivory Coast over last month's deadly attack on a beach resort in the country. It also warned of a possible attack on neighbouring Togo. Ghana and Togo have never been attacked by militant Islamists. Ivory Coast was hit for the first time on 13 March when gunmen killed at least 18 people at the Grand Bassam beach resort, which is popular with locals and foreigners. Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) said it carried out the attack. Mr Mahama said the memo highlighting the threat to Ghana should not have been leaked to the media. "We must deal with this without creating panic amongst our people," he told state radio. Mr Mahama asked for public vigilance and said Ghana was also at risk from home-grown militants, Reuters news agency quotes him as saying. In a memo dated 9 March, Ghana's Immigration Service called for security to be stepped up along the northern border with Burkina Faso. Intelligence gathered by Ghana's National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS) indicates a "possible terrorist attack on the country is real", it added. "The choice of Ghana, according to the report, is to take away the perception that only Francophone countries are the target," said the memo, which has been widely published in the local media. The memo said the attack on Grand Bassam, about 40km (25 miles) from Ivory Coast's commercial capital Abidjan, was reportedly carried out by gunmen who entered from Mali, using vehicles registered in Niger, with weapons and grenades concealed in the "compartment for spare tyres, padded with cushions and bubbled wraps to keep them stable and prevent noise". AQIM had been behind two other similar attacks in former French colonies in West Africa in the last five months, targeting hotels in Mali and Burkina Faso. The elderly leader, who suffered a stroke last year, was admitted for treatment in Grenoble on Thursday. The reason for his admittance remains unknown. The Algerian government has not commented on the issue. The 77-year-old, who has led the country since 1999, has rarely been seen in public since his re-election to a fourth term in April. The French regional newspaper Le Dauphine Libere said on Friday that Mr Bouteflika had been admitted to the cardiology unit of a private clinic in the south-eastern French town. The paper reported that an entire floor of the clinic had been booked out to ensure maximum security. President Bouteflika is a veteran of the Algeria's war of independence from France, which ended in 1962. He was elected president in 1999, following the country's bloody civil war in the 1990s. His most recent election victory in 2014 was criticised by opposition parties, who said the polls were flawed and that Mr Bouteflika was unfit to run because of his health problems. Mr Bouteflika was taken to hospital in Paris in 2005 due to a stomach ulcer, sparking concerns about his health. Many are stranded or caught in bottlenecks as different countries in the region try to cope with the influx. South Lanarkshire Council said a batch of Lanark Blue was taken from Errington Cheese and court approval was being sought to have it destroyed. Officials said the cheese had tested positive for E.coli and was "unfit for human consumption". Errington Cheese has repeatedly insisted its products are safe and that food safety is its "highest priority". As hundreds of cheeses were loaded into vans, the firm said they had raised concerns with the council that there has been a "mix-up" in testing. The local authority has also served 21-day detention notices on the cheesemaker's batches of Corra Linn. It said it wanted to carry out further testing to establish whether they are "unsafe". Officials are also considering the producer's proposal to put Dunsyre Blue back on the market, so long as it is clearly labelled as a raw ingredient which required cooking. Errington Cheese was linked to an E.coli outbreak in July last year in which a three-year-old girl from Dunbartonshire died. A total of 11 people received treatment in hospital. In September, Food Standards Scotland (FSS) imposed a ban on all cheese produced by the firm. People were advised not to eat the cheese and to return it to the seller. In a statement, the council said their "clear and primary objective" was to protect public health. Michael McGlynn, the council's executive director of community and enterprise, added: "Throughout this process we have sought to carry out that important duty while acting appropriately and proportionately in terms of the food alert for action issued by Food Standards Scotland and the relevant food legislation. "We are continuing to do this through today's actions. "To ensure public health we are removing one type of cheese which tests have identified as unsafe and we will seek to put this cheese before a sheriff asking that they be condemned. "However, we will continue to undertake thorough testing and analysis to determine whether it is appropriate to allow Errington Cheese to market the remaining products." The council's action came a week after the Carnwath-based producer won the latest round of a court battle against the sales ban. The interim order was designed to force the council to either abandon the case against them or initiate new proceedings under food hygiene regulations. Food journalist Joanna Blythman, from the Committee for the Defence of Artisan Foods which supports Errington Cheese, said they welcomed the council's action. She said: "We feel very strongly on the committee that it has to go to court and there has to be maximum transparency and scrutiny of Food Standards Scotland's behaviour in this case so we're really looking forward to seeing the outcome of that. "As I understand it, there will be senior microbiologists who really understand the science making expert submissions to the court." Mrs Foster was elected leader of the DUP in December 2015, following the retirement of Peter Robinson. The commission imposed the fine because the DUP missed a deadline to notify it of a change in its registered leader. The independent watchdog oversees elections and regulates political finance in the UK. The commission confirmed the DUP had paid the £1,000 penalty. A DUP spokesperson said: "Due to an administrative oversight the required notification was filed late. "The Electoral Commission have indicated to us that they consider the matter closed." Mrs Foster's appointment was ratified by the DUP's 90-member executive on 18 December 2015. She was the only candidate for the job as no other DUP member put their name forward for the role. The hope is they will encourage men to relieve themselves more hygienically near the station, which is a notorious black spot for urinating in public. If the scheme is successful, it will be expanded to other stations in France. Men will relieve themselves in the open air into the front part of the urinal, and help plants grow. The bright red urinals are fitted on top of bins containing straw and sawdust so that compost can be made. "We're re-using two waste products... to make something that really will make plants grow," Uritrottoir co-designer Laurent Lebot, told the Reuters news agency. Mr Lebot said that bigger versions of his device could absorb the urine of 600 people before they needed to be emptied. Parts of Paris have long had a reputation for smelling strongly of urine, dating back to its emergence centuries ago from swamps adjoining the river Seine. Supporters of the scheme quoted by The Local say that the urinals provide a more convivial environment, especially when compared to the numerous grey and overflowing street urinals that can be found all over the centre of Paris. They say it should help to discourage men from urinating elsewhere in public. "People urinating on the streets of France is a serious problem," co-designer Victor Massip told The Local. "We knew there was a big demand for a solution, so we've come up with one. "People are laughing, many of them are amazed, but most agree that it's a good idea to test out." The 36-year-old will become a player-coach for the Championship outfit. "As a boyhood Hearts fan, I am delighted to join a club I have supported for many years," Alexander to told the Tynecastle side's website. "With the coaching side of it as well, this is a fantastic opportunity for me. I'm excited at the challenge ahead." Hearts, who were relegated from the top flight last term, kick off their Championship campaign against Rangers at Ibrox on 9 August. "With the fixtures now out, it really gives you an incentive to be involved in the first game," added the former Ipswich Town, Cardiff City and Livingston goalkeeper. "It's a really exciting start for us and I definitely want to be involved on 9 August. "This club has fantastic supporters and their backing has been phenomenal. Hopefully we can give them something to cheer about after what has been a very difficult 12 months for everyone at the club." Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson has also signed up midfielder Morgaro Gomis,striker James Keatings from Hamilton and former Sparta Rotterdam forward Soufian El Hassnaoui, subject to international clearance. The Tynecastle club have also tied up teenage winger Sam Nicholson on a new three-year contract after his deal expired.

German shepherd Finn was stabbed in Stevenage on 5 October. His handler PC Dave Wardell was also injured. Alex Goodwin, of Lutterworth, Leicestershire, was "devastated" when he read about the attack so contacted Finn and PC Wardell via social media. Cards based on his drawing of Finn sold out within a day. Police officer's son Alex is undergoing chemotherapy for Ewing Sarcoma, a type of bone cancer that affects fewer than 30 children in the UK each year. He faces further "complex" surgery at Christmas. He saw the news about Hertfordshire Police dog Finn's injury and continued to follow the story when a petition was started to change the law regarding attacks on police dogs and horses. "He wanted to know why anyone would hurt a police dog," his father PC Jeff Goodwin, a firearms officer with Warwickshire Police, said. Via his father, Alex began tweeting Finn and PC Wardell, exchanging pictures. Then the "Finn's Law" group suggested one could be made into a Christmas card to help raise funds for the boy's future treatment and rehabilitation. The initial run sold out in less than a day, raising hundreds for the "Alexander's Journey" appeal. "Alex said he thought Finn was brave and was a hero," PC Wardell said. "But really, it's Alex who is the brave one. He is an inspiration to me." It is not known whether more cards will be printed, but Alex's father said: "I'm in the doghouse with Alex's grandma. "She couldn't get any of the cards and she's very cross with me." Finn's recovery is continuing and his handler hopes he will be able to return to active duty before the end of the year. Public sector net borrowing, excluding public sector banks, was £10.4bn last month, up by £1.2bn from April 2016. Public sector net debt was £1.72tn, equivalent to 86% of GDP, an increase of £114bn on April 2016. The ONS also adjusted the shortfall total from the last financial year from £52bn to £48.7bn. This was below the figure of £51.7bn forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility and was the lowest annual borrowing total since the financial year ending in March 2008.. The total changed after VAT receipts were revised upwards by £1.7bn between January and March and tax and National Insurance contributions paid in during March were revised upwards by £0.5bn and £0.3bn respectively. The OBR has predicted that the public sector will borrow £58.3bn in the financial year, which will end in March 2018. Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to economic forecasting group EY ITEM Club, said: "The new fiscal year began on a disappointing note for the public finances. Supportive one-off factors last year and a weakening economy suggest the deficit is set to widen." It happened in Agnes Street, off the Shankill Road, just after 11:00 GMT on Friday. Three men aged 40, 32, and 26 have been charged with a number of offences. These include aggravated vehicle taking and going equipped for theft. The men, aged 40 and 26 are due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on Saturday. The 32-year-old man is due to appear at the same court on 30 December. All charges are to be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service. A person who was in the vehicle hit by the car was taken to hospital after the collision. Police said his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. The process saw children - largely of south Asian and African or Caribbean descent - being "bussed" out of their local areas to go to school. Eleven Local Area Authorities (LEAs) decided there should be no more than 30% of immigrants at any one school. It meant once that quota was reached, children were taken elsewhere. The process, which became known as "bussing", is now at the heart of a project in Bradford where Shabina Aslam is trying to trace children who, like herself, were sent to school away from where they lived. She moved to Bradford, West Yorkshire, from Kenya when she was seven years old. She remembers how the buses were marked so the children knew which one to get on. "We were all told to look for signs, like a yellow sun, black football, or a red diamond," she said. "So you'd wait for your red diamond bus, you'd get on it, you'd get to school and suddenly it was the 'Paki bus'." She said the practice made her and the others who were bussed feel more segregated, instead of integrated. Raj Samra, who was a 1960s child bussed in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, said there was a key flaw in the plan which stopped pupils integrating properly. "We were in an annexe of the main school, so we weren't mixing," he said. "Had we been in another school mixing with all the other children, then the project would have worked." It was a plan conceived at a time when large numbers of Asian and Afro-Caribbean families were heading to the UK. Many of them could not speak English and the LEAs came up with this as a solution. The councils that adopted a bussing policy were: Blackburn, Bradford, Bristol, Ealing (Southall), Halifax, Hounslow, Huddersfield, Leicester, Luton, Walsall and West Bromwich. Speaking in 1979, City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council's director of education Frederick Adams said: "The idea is to put the children from overseas in a situation where they have to mix, and if as is the case in this city, about 75% of them are non-English speaking when they arrive, this means they are going to have to communicate, they will hear English spoken, they have got to." By then, Bradford was sending out 24 buses a day, but in Ealing, west London, campaigners had challenged bussing in court claiming it fell foul of the new race relations legislation. Brenda Thomson was a teacher in Bradford when bussing was the norm. She said it was done "with the very best of intentions". "It was assumed that the children would learn English better in a naturally English-speaking environment," she said. "Which is OK if you speak to your mates in the classroom, but if you don't it doesn't help very much does it?" Mohammed Ajeeb organised a petition to get bussing stopped in the late 1970s, saying the practice was racially motivated. "In March 1979 a petition was presented to the then chair of the education committee signed by 1,600 parents that demanded the end of bussing. "It was one-way traffic. Only children from the inner-city areas, the black children, were being bussed into the middle-class areas." In 1980 Bradford became the last place in the UK to phase out bussing for good. Mrs Aslam believes that although some had positive experiences of bussing and said they enjoyed school, it made her and many others feel more isolated. "We'd walk in late in a group and we'd always have to leave early. The bus monitor used to come round and say 'can we have all the immigrants please?' and all the black children would stand up," she said. "I didn't really have any friends in the classroom, nobody ever spoke to me. "I was always looking at the others thinking: 'how do I become like them?'" Castleford back-rower McMeeken and St Helens prop Alex Walmsley have been part of the Elite Performance Squad. Australia-born McQueen, who has an English father, is involved in Wayne Bennett's plans for the first time. Gold Coast Titans back-rower McQueen, Sam Burgess and James Graham are among eight Australia-based call-ups. "I'm very pleased that we have this chance to play mid-season," coach Wayne Bennett said. "It gives the team a chance to work and spend time together and allows my coaching team and I the opportunity to take a closer look at how the players can rise to the challenge of playing against a tough and uncompromising opponent." In-form league leaders Castleford provide three players in McMeeken, half-back Luke Gale and full-back Zak Hardaker. Super League champions Wigan have two players in the squad, including marquee half-back George Williams and captain Sean O'Loughlin. There is a return to the side for Cronulla Sharks' NRL premiership winner Chris Heighington, another Australia-based player, whose last appearances came in 2011. The match is being played at Campbelltown Sports Ground in Sydney and is being streamed on the internet by the Rugby Football League. England squad to face Samoa: Sam Burgess, Tom Burgess (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Luke Gale, Mike McMeeken, Zak Hardaker (Castleford Tigers), James Graham (Canterbury Bulldogs), Ryan Hall, Kallum Watkins (Leeds Rhinos, Oulton Raiders), Chris Heighington (Cronulla Sutherland Sharks), Chris Hill (Warrington Wolves), Josh Hodgson, Elliott Whitehead (Canberra Raiders), Jermaine McGillvary (Huddersfield Giants), Chris McQueen (Gold Coast Titans), Sean O'Loughlin, George Williams (Wigan Warriors), Mark Percival, Alex Walmsley (St Helens), Scott Taylor (Hull FC), Gareth Widdop (St. George Illawarra Dragons). It said 38 youth clubs and projects could be closed with about 400 youth workers losing their jobs. The authority plans to stop directly providing youth services to save ??2.8m in the next financial year, rising to ??4.5m a year until 2021. It said it would debate the issue at a council meeting on 13 March. John Butcher, chairman of Unite's Staffordshire branch, said the council's plan was "short-sighted". "Youth clubs are not about ping-pong and pool in a church hall as some councillors think, it's about giving young people opportunities and guidance on things like jobs, sexual health and education," he said. "We'd like to see some services left so that there are professional, qualified youth workers left to support young people in the county." Mr Butcher said the council's plans would see 50 full-time and 350 part-time workers made redundant. The council said its research showed four out of five young people in Staffordshire had never used a county council-funded youth facility or activity. Cabinet member for community safety Mark Sutton said the authority was currently studying responses from a seven-week consultation on youth services. The council said it needed to save ??109m from its overall budget over the next five years. Mr Collins died after being shot in the chest at the Coin Castle Amusements Arcade in Limerick on 9 April, 2009. Wayne Dundon, 35, of Lenihan Avenue and Nathan Killeen, 23, from Hyde Road, both in Limerick, had pleaded not guilty to his murder. Both men have been given life sentences. The court delivered its verdict on Tuesday, two weeks after the two-month trial ended. The prosecution said that Dundon directed the murder from prison, Killeen was the getaway driver and another man, James Dillon, was the gunman. Dillon, 28, has already been convicted of the murder. They said the motive was vengeance for a 10-year prison sentence Dundon blamed on the Collins family, who had given evidence against him in a previous trial. Roy Collins' family hugged and cried after the verdict was delivered. His father Steve Collins read a victim impact statement to the court. Breaking down in tears several times, he said his son was an innocent man and a good, upstanding decent member of society. Mr Collins said: "On 9 April, cowardly evil men devoid of any standards of mercy or humanity murdered him, shooting him in an act of cold blood. And why? Because we did our civic duty as a family. "Since these people infected our lives with their hateful poison, every moment of every hour since that awful day we are numb with grief. Our sense of loss is so profound impossible to find words to describe. "It is a loss we will never get over. There are days when it is difficult to do basic tasks." Mr Collins said the family had also been handed a life sentence and he said "all this happened because we stood up to these people". He also spoke about how the family had been forced to leave Ireland and said they would never get over the loss of their son. He described how he held his dying son in his arms: "He was gasping for breath and he wanted me to know he loved me and his mother. "When they murdered my son they wounded me and I am slowly bleeding to death. I live with the reality that they came for me." Speaking about the impact of the killing on his wife, Mr Collins said: "No mother should have to bury her child, particularly one whose life was ended by such a callous event." He added that the victim's brothers and sisters had their "world torn apart". "The murder cost them the happiest years of their lives. These thugs forced them into a life of fear, always looking over their shoulder." Mr Collins also thanked the people of Limerick and the public for their support. He said he hoped the breaking up of the gang and new laws "would be part of Roy's legacy and his needless death would not be entirely in vain". Speaking outside the court, Mr Collins said the family's ten-year nightmare was over, justice has been served and maybe now they could get on with their lives. "It's been a dreadful time", he said. He also said he would like to think the family could return to Limerick and rebuild their lives there. Ms Park, who defeated liberal rival Moon Jae-in in December's general election, took the oath of office in front of tens of thousands of people. North Korea's recent nuclear test posed a "challenge to the survival" of the Korean people, she said. Trust-building was needed to tackle the "extremely serious" security situation. Ms Park, the first woman to lead South Korea, succeeds President Lee Myung-bak, of the same Saenuri Party, who stepped down as the law required after a five-year term. The 61-year-old is the daughter of former military strongman Park Chung-hee, who ruled South Korea for almost two decades. She takes office amid high tensions on the Korean peninsula in the wake of a North Korean nuclear test, on 12 February. In her inauguration speech, Ms Park said she would "not tolerate any action that threatens the lives of our people and the security of our nation". Profile: President-elect Park Geun-hye "North Korea's recent nuclear test is a challenge to the survival and future of the Korean people, and there should be no mistake that the biggest victim will be none other than North Korea itself." Calling on North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions, she said that in a challenging security environment South Korea could not "afford to remain where we are". A trust-building process was needed, she said, promising to move forward "step-by-step on the basis of credible deterrence". "Trust can be built through dialogue and by honouring promises that have already been made," she said. "It is my hope that North Korea will abide by international norms and make the right choice so that the trust-building process on the Korean Peninsula can move forward." North Korea's nuclear test - its third - followed its apparently successful launch of a three-stage rocket to put a satellite into orbit in December. That launch was condemned by the US Security Council as a banned test of missile technology; diplomatic efforts to agree a response to the nuclear test are ongoing. Ties between the two Koreas chilled considerably under Lee Myung-bak over his move to link aid to concessions on the nuclear issue. Ahead of the election Ms Park had spoken out on the need for more dialogue but the recent nuclear test may make it harder for her to appear conciliatory towards Pyongyang, observers say. On the economy, Ms Park promised more focus on a "creative economy" founded in "economic democratisation" that would expand beyond existing markets and sectors. South Korea's economic growth has slowed, the population is rapidly ageing, and demands for a fairer division of wealth are now being voiced on both sides of the political divide, reports the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul. Policies would be brought in to help small and medium-sized enterprises flourish, Ms Park said. "By rooting out various unfair practices and rectifying the misguided habits of the past... we will provide active support to ensure that everyone can live up to their fullest potential," she added, in an apparent nod to resentment towards the country's giant "chaebol" conglomerates. She also promised a "clean, transparent and competent government". "I will endeavour to shed popular distrust of government and strive to elevate the capital of trust," she said. The 38-year-old led heading into the final round but a level-par round left him two strokes behind Grace. Nevertheless, the former world number one was in upbeat mood, saying: "This is a great step in the right direction. "I am really positive about my game going forward and I am pretty positive about the way I handled it today." Donald has not had a PGA or European Tour win since the 2013 Dunlop Phoenix in Japan and has now finished second at Hilton Head on four occasions. Grace was three shots behind Donald by the end of round three, but seven birdies in a 66 propelled the 28-year-old to his first PGA Tour win. "It's come very quick and I'm just grateful to be in this position," Grace told pgatour.com. "I had to stay patient, I'm stoked." Scotland's Russell Knox joined Donald in second with a final-day 67. The International Federation of Professional Footballers (Fifpro), a trade union of sorts, has conducted a global survey of nearly 14,000 professional footballers in 54 countries - the largest ever undertaken. Over 3,000 of the players who took part in the survey are from 13 African countries: Botswana, Cameroon, DR Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia and Zimbabwe. While many young Africans dream of becoming the next Didier Drogba or Samuel Eto'o, the data collected by Fifpro paints a dark picture of the reality of life as a footballer on the continent. One of the most shocking findings of the survey is that physical abuse of footballers in Africa is the worst in the world. Players in Ghana are 10 times more likely than the global average to be physically attacked by club seniors. They face multiple forms of abuse: Players also reported very high levels of discrimination - which Fifpro categorised as either racial, sexual or religious - by fans, other players, coaching staff and third parties. Strangely, this was only equalled by Scotland - whose discrimination is largely driven by the religious divide between Catholic Celtic and Protestant Rangers. In South Africa and DR Congo, violent attacks on players by other players are three times higher than the global average. DR Congo has the highest rate of players being physically attacked by fans on a match day, with Kenya coming a close second. There is also evidence of what Fifpro calls "a form of solitary confinement", amounting to mental abuse. The survey found that the players most likely to be ordered to train alone are in Africa. This applied to 7.6% of players - more than double the tally of footballers in Europe or the Americas. More players in Africa than anywhere else said this was to pressure them into signing a contract. When it came to pay, 100% of footballers in Ghana said they earned less than $1,000 (£800) a month. The best-paid African nation when it came to earning over $1,000 a month was Morocco, although players there were the most insecure on the continent about their future. Egypt's league is widely seen as the strongest in Africa - with two of its clubs having been crowned African champions more than anyone else. Al Ahly have won eight titles, Zamalek five (with just one other club, TP Mazembe of DR Congo, also on five). Yet the Egyptian league is the fifth worst-paid of the 13 surveyed in Africa. Over 90% of players said they were paid under $1,000 a month, which may be equivalent to Europe's worst-paid surveyed country (Ukraine) but which reflects poorly against the tally of just 5% in Morocco. Have the figures been compromised by the Egyptian league's recent troubles? Stadium disasters in 2012 and 2015 have resulted in fans being largely barred from matches, all but annihilating gate receipts (and hugely damaging the domestic game). The survey's highest rate of payment delays was in Africa - with over half the continent's respondents saying they had suffered. In Gabon, which will host the Africa Nations Cup in January, a whopping 96% of players reported payment delays. Africa has the greatest number of footballers without a written contract, according to the survey, with 40% of players saying they lack a copy of their contract. The three worst scoring countries surveyed were Cameroon (65% lacked a copy), Gabon (60%) and Ivory Coast (60%). Africa's superior treatment of foreign nationals in daily life is reflected in its football, with expatriates disproportionately more likely to have written contracts than local players. In a move that Fifpro says avoids "taxes, protective labour legislation… and other provisions safeguarding the interests of players," many Africa-based players were paid through secondary image-rights contracts, which normally reward a player based on his commercial value. Surprisingly, more Africans receive remuneration this way - 11% - than those in the promised land of Europe. In Gabon and Zimbabwe, this applies to 32% and 30% respectively of players. But all is not bleak in the survey's findings. When it comes to paid annual leave, Ivory Coast and Namibia are shining examples, in that both give players more than 30 days per year. In contrast, the powerhouse of Egypt doesn't look so good - with 93% of respondents saying they have less than 10 days of paid annual leave a year. A stand-out 99.5% of players in Tunisia, meanwhile, are given a full day off every week. In the rest of the continent, however, almost a third of Africa-based players say they do not have a full day off each week. In no other continent do so many players fear for their future. When players were asked if they felt insecure about their job, 11 of the top 13 countries to express such concerns in the entire survey were African. Despite their relative wealth, Morocco and Gabon feature highly. Perhaps surprisingly, players in Zimbabwe - a country where the local FA is so cash-strapped its inability to pay a former coach resulted in its suspension from the 2018 World Cup - felt the most secure of the 13 African countries. Previous research by Fifpro suggests that non-payment of footballers' salaries may be a significant factor in increasing the risk of match-fixing approaches. Coupled with low wages, is it any surprise that Africa has the highest rate of approaches - standing at 8.3% of those surveyed? However, this needs context. This means that nearly 92% have not been approached, a figure that is almost equivalent to Europe (94.1%). Furthermore, while 10.1% of the Africans surveyed said they were aware of match-fixing in their league, that is only slightly higher than those in Europe - 9.8%. Three of the five countries reporting the biggest problems were European, whereas a number of African countries reported relatively low numbers of approaches. Seemingly the last place you would want to be a professional footballer in Africa is DR Congo. Some 89% of players in DR Congo have no written employment contract - a figure double that of any other nation in the 54-country survey. The number of players who have experienced violent attacks by other players is three times the global average in DR Congo. In addition, one in four Congo-based players say they have been attacked on a match day by fans - the survey's highest rate. Even violence on a non-match day in the country is three times the global average. One in five players say they have been bullied or harassed by colleagues, and the same tally say they have been pressurised into renewing a contract (another figure that is unsurpassed). Another sign of poor working conditions is that over half the Congolese players say they do not have a day off each week. Does any of the above explain why a staggering 56% of players say they are aware of match-fixing in the Congolese league? During PMQs, the Labour leader said that through the 1% pay cap the government was "recklessly exploiting the goodwill of public servants" and called for it to be scrapped. Theresa May said the government would study pay review recommendations "very carefully" when they are made. And she said Labour would "bankrupt our country" if Mr Corbyn became PM. Several ministers have suggested they want the public sector pay cap, introduced in 2013 following a two-year pay freeze, to be lifted, and some Conservative MPs have called for a change of direction after the Tories lost their majority in the general election. Mr Corbyn focused on the subject during Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons, saying there was a "low pay epidemic" in the UK, and that pay levels were causing a "real shortage" of NHS staff. In a reference to the Conservatives' deal with the Democratic Unionists, he said: "The prime minister found £1bn to keep her own job - why can't she find the same amount of money to keep nurses and teachers in their own job - who after all serve all of us." Mrs May said she valued public sector workers' "incredibly important work", adding: "I understand why people feel strongly about the issue of their pay." The government would balance future decisions with "the need to live within our means" she said, adding that the policy had to be "fair to those who pay for it". She also mounted a fierce defence of the Conservatives' record in cutting the deficit and increasing wages and employment. And she referred to Mr Corbyn's description of Labour as a "government in waiting". "We all know what that means," she said. "Waiting to put up taxes, waiting to destroy jobs, waiting to bankrupt our country. We will never let it happen." Labour continued the pressure on the pay cap after PMQs, tabling an urgent question in the Commons. Shadow chancellor John McDonnell compared cabinet ministers to children "scrapping in the school playground" over what should happen to the policy. Chief Secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss said the cap remained in place "because it is the responsible thing to do". Earlier one union described the 1% cap as "dead in the water" after receiving an offer of a 2% increase for its workers. Nonetheless, the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) said the offer was "simply not good enough". "It does not recognise the extra work firefighters have been doing, it fails to address their falling living standards and, despite hints at improvements, does not make clear what they will be earning in future years," said FBU general secretary Matt Wrack. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling rejected the suggestion the offer to firefighters had "busted" the 1% cap, saying they were the responsibility of local authorities rather than central government. The wages of public servants the government is responsible for "will be a matter that's addressed in future Budgets", he said. Most public sector workers' wages are set by ministers after receiving recommendations by independent pay review bodies, which are delivered at different points in the year. Teachers and police are expecting a government response to their pay bodies' recommendations later this month. Downing Street has insisted the policy has not changed, with Chancellor Philip Hammond urging ministers to "hold their nerve". Asked about the debate within government, Mr Grayling said: "There is always going to be a debate around the cabinet table about what to do - and we are not all clones - but the bottom line is that we are a team." Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live, former Conservative Party chairman Lord Patten called on Theresa May to tell "others who've got their own opinion to shut up". "There is a sense you have at the moment of everybody doing their own thing," he said. "Nobody actually asserting very clearly what they want to do in the national interest. "We can't go on living from hand-to-mouth in this sort of shambolic way." Meanwhile the FDA union, which represents senior civil servants, has written to Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson along with other cabinet ministers who have indicated they support easing pay restraint, calling on them to follow up their "warm words" with action. "Each of these ministers will have sign off on the pay settlement for their staff this year. They cannot hide behind pay review bodies with restricted remits. Failure to act will demonstrate these warm words were little more than meaningless platitudes," said general secretary Dave Penman. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has said increasing pay in line with inflation next year - rather than 1% - could cost about £5bn. Speaking at a conference in South Korea on Tuesday, former prime minister David Cameron said people calling for an end to austerity were "selfish". "The opponents of so-called austerity couch their arguments in a way that make them sound generous and compassionate," he said. "They seek to paint the supporters of sound finances as selfish, or uncaring. The exact reverse is true. "Giving up on sound finances isn't being generous, it's being selfish: spending money today that you may need tomorrow." Their vehicle was fired upon by another driver who thought the woman had not driven quickly enough through a stop sign, police said. The grandmother drove away but the boy later died in hospital. Police are hunting for a black Chevrolet Impala but gave few details of the man driving it. The boy and his grandmother "were completely innocent" and had no relationship with Saturday's gunman, Little Rock Police tweeted. "This is probably one of the most frustrating things you will encounter in your career when it involves children, particularly of kids that are [at] this age very innocent, they can do very little to protect themselves," said Chief Kenton Buckner. The victim was struck at least once, police said. His grandmother was initially unaware he had been shot when she drove off, later calling police from a shopping centre. The identity of the pair has not been released. Last month, a two-year-old girl was killed in Little Rock when someone drove by and fired into her vehicle. The perpetrator is yet to be found. J&F Investimentos will pay under a leniency deal in two corruption investigations. The payments will start in December and J&F will have 25 years to make them, prosecutors say. The fine beats the $2.6bn paid by Brazilian building firm Odebrecht. Brazil's President Michel Temer is in danger of being toppled thanks to testimony given by J&F's owners, Joesley and Wesley Batista, under a plea bargain. The pair, who resigned from their board positions at the company last week, say they spent 600m real to bribe nearly 1,900 politicians in recent years. Joesley Batista also gave prosecutors an audio tape - leaked to the press - where Mr Temer appears to condone bribing a witness. The audio came from a conversation between the president and Joesley, and was recorded using a hidden device. In it, Mr Temer appears to discuss making hush-money payments to silence politician Eduardo Cunha, who is currently in prison. Mr Temer has said the recording is genuine and was taken from a meeting in March but denies any wrongdoing. "I never authorised any payments for someone to be silent," he said in a televised address. "I did not buy anyone's silence. I fear no accusations." Brazil's biggest-ever corruption investigation, Operation Car Wash, has been running for more than three years. The number of people embroiled in it continues to rise. The country's Supreme Court has approved an investigation into the allegations against the president. Peterhead joined Stirling on six points following a 3-0 success over Elgin City. Edinburgh City slumped to their second straight loss as Ben Stirling's first-half winner earned Cowdenbeath a 1-0 victory. Annan Athletic were beaten again, losing 2-1 to Clyde, while Montrose and Stenhousemuir drew 1-1. After claiming an opening-day victory over Stenny thanks to Ross Kavanagh's 82nd-minute winner, Stirling had a far more straightforward afternoon back on home soil. Darren Smith took his tally for the season to three league goals with a first-half brace that put Stirling in charge against Berwick, and Kavanagh and Ross Smith added further strikes after the interval. Peterhead needed two goals in the final five minutes to make a winning start at Annan seven days earlier, but were able to go ahead against Elgin through Rory McAllister's effort midway through the first half. McAllister then doubled that advantage on the stroke of half-time by converting a penalty he had won himself from Stephen Bronsky's tackle. Allan Smith made it 3-0 before the hour mark, but Peterhead finished the contest with 10 men when Nicky Riley was dismissed for violent conduct. Barry Cuddihy and Smart Osadolor both scored for Clyde in their win over Annan, with Rabin Omar claiming a consolation. Stenhousemuir took a late lead away to Montrose through Mark McGuigan's 70th-minute header, but Graham Webster levelled eight minutes later to salvage a point. Wales are due to play two matches in the Pacific Islands, against Tonga and Samoa in June. "There are still some things to iron out with Tonga, mainly that there isn't a pitch at the moment," he said. "The stadium infrastructure is not in place so we are meeting with World Rugby again," Phillips added. The game against the Samoans is scheduled for 24 June in the country's capital city Apia with relatively few qualms about that fixture. But WRU representatives were in Tonga in December to look at the facilities with no completed pitch in place and continued concerns about medical cover. World Rugby stated in October: "A new venue is due to be constructed there and we need to assess whether it will be completed in time for a fixture to take place as planned." An alternative could be to play the game in Auckland, New Zealand. "The facilities around it [the stadium] are nowhere near what you would need to host a game, although clearly Tonga are committing to get to that," Phillips said. "It's not particularly good for anybody at this stage. The reason it's gone on is that we all desperately want to go there and play but the pitch is fundamental to that. "The forecast is for it to be there by May, but you are getting close to the point at which it may not be. "Our effort at the moment is to try and make it happen, but you've got to get to a point where you say is it or isn't going to happen? "That needs to be pretty soon now. "The contingency would be to play in Auckland. We have got an informal agreement with New Zealand, which we did last summer when we were over there, but we'd need to kick that into plan quite quickly." Media playback is not supported on this device Meanwhile, the return of the Wales A team is set to be delayed due to the lack of opposition for the second-string national side. It was announced in August 2014 the outfit would return by January, 2015 thanks to a six-year agreement between the WRU and the four Welsh rugby regions. Phillips said: "We wanted to play England and Ireland ideally, but for various reasons we haven't been able to pull that off. "The window in which we can play is the last week of January right now. "The worst case scenario is we play one of those two next year, at the end of January 2018. "England and Ireland have both said they are up for the game. We have just got to land on contracting one of them. "If we can get another fixture we will and we are talking to some other people about that." Former Wales head coach Mike Ruddock took charge of the Wales A team the last time they played, a 30-23 win over Scotland in 2002. They were killed when their car left a pier in Buncrana in County Donegal, and entered Lough Swilly on Sunday. The victims were Ruth Daniels, 57, her daughter Jodie Lee Daniels, 14, Sean McGrotty, 49, and his sons Mark, 12, and Evan, eight. A baby girl who was in the car was rescued shortly before it sank. The condolence books opened on Monday night at St Joseph's Church in Galliagh and Holy Family Church in Ballymagroarty. The funerals of the victims will take place in Derry on Thursday. On Monday, Jim, a brother of Sean McGrotty said the deaths had "devastated the whole family". "We are now totally in shock and dismay," he said. "I don't know how we're going to come back from this." He added that a man, Davitt Walsh, who saved four-month-old Rionaghac-Ann McGrotty was "a hero in this family's eyes". Mr Walsh jumped into the lough and swam to the family in their car, bringing Rionaghac-Ann back to safety. He said he felt "terrible" he could not do more for the family after seeing their distress as they tried to escape from the sinking car. Aiden Webb, 22, from Norwich, had set off to climb the Fanispan mountain on his own on Friday. His body was found by rangers in Sin Chai village at 12:50 local time (06:50 BST), the head of the Hoang Lien National Park told the BBC. Mr Webb had fallen and hurt himself on Friday, but his phone stopped working the next day, his girlfriend had said. Live: Latest on the discovery of Aiden Webb's body Mr Webb, an experienced climber, had started his ascent of the 3,100m (10,300ft) high mountain - Vietnam's tallest - at about 06:00. He has been travelling with his girlfriend Bluebell Baughan, 24, of White Notley, Essex, and she was in contact with him by phone from the nearest township of Sa Pa. She said he had fallen into a ravine and injured his arm and leg and they had agreed that she should call for a rescue team. The couple last spoke in the early hours of Saturday before his phone stopped working. Nguyen Quang Vinh, head of the Hoang Lien National Park in Lao Cai province in the north-west of the country, said: "It is very sad that we found the British tourist body today at 12:50. "The position is quite near the location that his girlfriend gave us, in Sin Chai Village." His father Trever Webb arrived in Vietnam on Tuesday to join the search for his son. However it was the Silkmen who harried their opponents from the get-go. David Fitzpatrick and Kingsley James both tested goalkeeper Paul Farman. James found the breakthrough for John Askey's men on the stroke of half-time. Danny Rowe set up Chris Holroyd to hit a post, and the midfielder was first to the rebound. The Imps turned it all around in the second half. Harry Anderson got on the end of a swift counter-attack and beat Richie Branagan with a low drive on the hour. And substitute Adam Marriott then showed Lincoln's goalscoring depth by converting a Luke Waterfall knock down to complete the comeback. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Police responded with tear gas when youths began throwing missiles, bringing the march to a standstill. France has seen two months of unrest over the reforms. Several police officers were injured during countrywide protests on Thursday. The proposed law, to be debated in parliament on Tuesday, would remove some of the protection workers enjoy against being laid off, in an attempt to encourage businesses to hire more people. The socialist government says its aim is to combat chronic unemployment, but opponents say it will let employers bypass workers' rights on pay, rest time and overtime rates. What's behind France's economic malaise? "I know that film means a great deal to me but I had no idea that I meant so much to film," the 72-year-old said. Bafta chairman Tim Corrie said the actor has an "extraordinary screen presence" and brings "utter conviction to every role he undertakes". His film credits include The Elephant Man and Nineteen Eighty-Four. In 1976 he was presented with his first Bafta award for his role as Quentin Crisp in the TV drama The Naked Civil Servant. Since then he has received a further two more trophies for Midnight Express and The Elephant Man, while earning further nominations for Alien, The Field and, most recently, TV's An Englishman in New York in 2009. He has also been nominated for two Academy Awards, for The Elephant Man and Midnight Express. Recent screen roles have included Ollivander in the Harry Potter series and a role in the Oscar-nominated film, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Mr Corrie added: "He is one of a kind, an iconic figure, and Bafta is delighted to take this opportunity to honour his outstanding contribution to cinema." Silent movie The Artist leads this year's Baftas with 12 nominations, including best film and best director. British Cold War-era spy movie Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is close behind with 11 nominations. The Bafta awards take place on 12 February in London. The ceremony will be hosted by comedian and broadcaster Stephen Fry and will be broadcast on BBC One. One of them was wearing an Islamic State (IS) T-shirt, Marseilles prosecutor Brice Robin told Reuters. Police said the teacher's life was not in danger. A hunt is under way for the attackers. It comes as France is in a state of emergency after attacks in Paris on Friday killed 129 people. IS has said it was behind the Paris attacks. Police said the attack on the teacher, who is Jewish, happened at about 20:00 local time (19:00 GMT). Mr Robin said three people on two scooters had approached the history teacher in a street and then "insulted, threatened and stabbed their victim in the arm and leg". "They were interrupted by the arrival of a car and fled," he said. One of the men showed a picture on his mobile telephone of the Islamist militant Mohamed Merah, Mr Robin added. Merah killed seven people in attacks in south-western France in 2012, before being shot dead by police. His victims included three children and a teacher at a Jewish school. Mr Musk has long targeted a trip to Mars and has previously said he can get humans to the red planet by 2026. His company, SpaceX, is planning "Red Dragon" missions to Mars to test technology for bigger missions. In a tweet, Mr Musk said that its Dragon 2 spacecraft is "designed to be able to land anywhere in the solar system". But Mr Musk "wouldn't recommend transporting astronauts beyond Earth-moon region" as the internal area of the spacecraft is only the size of a large car. "Wouldn't be fun for longer journeys," he said in a tweet. SpaceX has been developing rockets and has a $1.6bn (£1.08bn) contract with Nasa to supply the International Space Station. On Wednesday it won an $83m contract from the US Air Force to launch a satellite for GPS navigation services. It is a significant win for the company as, for the last decade, Lockheed Martin and Boeing have been supplying space launches for the military. Last December SpaceX had another breakthrough, landing its Falcon-9 unmanned rocket upright. That was an important development in its plan to cut the cost of space launches by re-using rockets. Dwight Hammond, 73, and his son Steven, 46, were convicted of arson in 2012 but a court ruled their original sentences were too short. The Hammonds' lawyer has said that the family does not want the protesters' support, according to CBS News. The case has riled right-wing activists who resent government interference. They said they lit fires on federal land to combat invasive species and protect their land from wildfires. Those occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge centre in Burns say they plan to stay for years and may use violence if police try to evict them. Local police said "outside militants" had seized the building, and that multiple agencies were working on a solution, the Oregonian reported. Among those there is Ammon Bundy, whose father Cliven was involved in a stand-off with the government over grazing rights in 2014. Speaking to CNN, Mr Ammon made no specific demands but said the action was aimed at helping locals "claim back their lands and resources". He said that the wildlife refuge had expanded at the expense of ranchers and miners. The incident is part of a decades-old conflict between ranchers and the federal government over the use of public land. Critics of the federal government say it often oversteps its authority over land use. On Saturday an unknown number of men took over the bird sanctuary on a snowy desert plain in Oregon. There is no sign of police officers and there has been no violence or negotiations. The militia men who seized the complex say they are prepared to stay for years. They have urged supporters to take up arms and join them to assert the rights of ranchers in the American west; rights which they say have been trampled by a federal government over-reaching its authority. The FBI said it was aware of the occupation and the sheriff has urged people to stay away from the building, saying multiple agencies were working on a solution. In an interview with the Associated Press news agency, Ammon Bundy's brother, Ryan Bundy, said the protesters' ultimate goal was to turn the land over to local authorities so that people can use it free of federal oversight. "I understand the land needs to be used wisely, but that's what we as stewards need to do. A rancher is going to take care of his own ranch," he added. But despite the protest Dwight Hammond says he and his son plan to report peacefully to prison on Monday. His lawyers told Associated Press "neither Ammon Bundy nor anyone within his group/organisation speak for the Hammond Family". Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward was critical of the protesters and their motives. "These men came to Harney County claiming to be part of militia groups supporting local ranchers, when in reality these men had alternative motives to attempt to overthrow the county and federal government in hopes to spark a movement across the United States," Mr Ward said in a statement.

But within months he had lost his job and she had taken away his credit and identity cards. Cigarettes were stubbed out on his skin and he was forced to swallow sponges and window-cleaning fluid. The case, seen in France as helping to lift a taboo on domestic abuse suffered by men, came to prominence when Mr Gaget wrote about his experiences in a book, My partner, my torturer. French campaign groups say abuse by men against women is three times more common, but say as many as 7,000 men complain of abuse every year. Domestic abuse claims the lives of one woman ever three days and one man every 13 days, they estimate. Mr Gaget described how his life soon turned into a nightmare when he moved in with Medkour, who lived with her two children in a 25 sq m (270 sq ft) flat. Threatened with being labelled a paedophile by his partner if he complained, he was forced to sleep on the floor near the front door and barred from using the bathroom as well as being burned with a white-hot knife. Prosecutors had called for a five-year jail term for Medkour, describing her actions as "beyond violence". She was given 18 months in prison with another 18 months suspended and a fine of €200,000 (£140,000). Mr Gaget was eventually rescued by his parents after his partner's brother raised the alarm and later had eight hospital operations because of his injuries He said he had expected a longer sentence than 18 months but accepted his ex-partner's sentence. "I'm finally going to be able to turn the page," he said. Medkour's lawyers blamed her addiction to alcohol and she apologised for her actions. "I'm not heartless," she was quoted as saying. Children at Ampertaine Primary School in Upperlands, County Londonderry, adopted the Birmingham side last year, as part of an education project. Facts and figures about the club are used in literacy, maths and PE lessons. However, Villa's 4-0 defeat by Arsenal was a lesson that the club and its young fans did not want to take. Aston Villa is aware of the school's support and the club's staff gave coaching lessons to Ampertaine pupils last year. Villa players have been photographed posing with letters from the children, and with specially designed kits that were presented to the school as gifts. Ampertaine pupils came into school on Saturday for a special screening of the FA Cup final, but had to watch their heroes being shot down by the Gunners. Speaking to the BBC, one boy said: "I thought Arsenal were the better team in that game, but I think Aston Villa tried hard." A girl who had Aston Villa's crest drawn onto her face said: "They played quite well in the first half, but then all the goals were scored in the second half." Another boy said: "It was disappointing seeing them lose, coming all the way up to the final and getting everything sorted out for today, but there's still next year." Despite the school's official links to Aston Villa, there was one young Arsenal fan who found himself outnumbered on Saturday. He remained loyal to the Gunners and said he was pleased with the result but added: "I'd have loved 10-0." The school's decision to support Aston Villa was the result of a draw organised by the headmaster, Garry McIlwaine, last year. The outcome of the draw seemed appropriate, as Ampertaine's school uniform is claret and blue, the same colours used by Aston Villa. The 20-year-old is the second summer recruit for new manager Richie Foran. A Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, Mulraney was on loan at Dagenham and Redbridge and Stevenage Town last season. "He has plenty of pace and will prove a real handful for any defence," Foran told the club website. "He's a really direct player, who I'm sure will quickly become a fans favourite" "He had offers from elsewhere, so it's especially pleasing that he chose to join us here in Inverness. "He will join up with the rest of the lads at the end of the month and we still hope to add a few more players in advance of that." In a speech ahead of the referendum on Scottish independence, Lord McConnell said home rule within the UK was "the best and most positive system for us". He called for a "conference for a new union" to debate how the UK is governed after the vote in September. Yes Scotland said independence should be "the next step" after devolution. Jack McConnell served as Labour First Minister of Scotland from 2001-07 and became a Labour peer in 2010. He appeared in Edinburgh alongside his former Lib Dem deputy Lord Wallace, now a UK government minister, at an event to mark the 15th anniversary of the opening of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. He said Scotland was "a better place" with its own devolved Parliament. Lord McConnell said he did not see himself as a unionist or a nationalist but as "a patriot" adding that he had campaigned for devolution since the referendum in 1979 to decide whether to establish a Scottish Assembly. He appealed to voters in the 18 September referendum to vote "No" to "save devolution". He pointed to the introduction of a smoking ban in public places in 2006 as an example of a devolved Scottish Parliament leading the way in the UK, calling it "a law supported by the people because it was made here in Scotland, by people accountable to Scots". He added that devolution had made Scotland "economically stronger: with higher employment, strong inward investment, and a booming tourist industry". And he argued that Scotland currently benefitted from security as part of the UK and services including a network of embassies and consulates to promote Scotland. "Does it make sense to share sovereignty on foreign affairs, defence, some areas of economic policy, and much that derives from it, both the creation of wealth and its distribution?" he asked. "Of course it does. And that is why I will be fighting positively for home rule inside the UK." The former first minister said he didn't support a "centralised" state in the UK. "I would like to see a conference for the new union, where there is a genuine debate about how the UK should be governed in the 21st century because the UK has now changed," he said. "It is now a genuine multi-national country and the centre needs to be adapted." However, such a conference may have to wait until after the 2015 UK general election, he added. Commenting for on behalf of Yes Scotland, former Scottish Labour chairman Bob Thomson said: "Jack McConnell is very welcome to the debate, but of course many others who campaigned long and hard for the Scottish Parliament are in no doubt that the next step must be a 'Yes' vote for independence - not least Canon Kenyon Wright, who chaired the Constitutional Convention. "A 'No' vote means years of more Westminster austerity, and the danger of a re-elected Tory government Scotland voted against. "Only a 'Yes' vote in September guarantees delivery of all the powers Scotland wants and needs, so that we can make our enormous wealth work better for everyone who lives here." The US firm recently announced a $2.9bn project to upgrade its network of 66 operational satellites from 2015. It has now contracted the fledgling SpaceX corporation and its brand new Falcon vehicle to put the Iridium Next constellation in orbit. The rocket has only just made its maiden flight, completing a flawless ascent to orbit on 4 June. Wednesday's deal is valued at $492m, making it one of the largest commercial launch contracts ever signed. The Iridium Next project itself is probably the world's biggest private space venture right now. The Falcon could loft several satellites at once and a special mechanism to dispense multiple payloads would be developed for the task, an Iridium spokesperson told BBC News. The Virginia-based mobile satellite services company says it expects to engage at least one additional rocket company. Iridium has about 360,000 subscribers worldwide who use its network of satellites to make calls and send data. The US government is a major customer. The Iridium constellation operates in a low-Earth orbit about 780km above the planet. The spacecraft are aligned in six planes and relay communications between themselves and ground stations to provide global coverage. The Iridium Next project intends to replace these assets between 2015 and 2017. The Franco-Italian manufacturer Thales Alenia Space (TAS) will build 81 spacecraft for the purpose. The Falcon 9 has been developed by internet entrepreneur Elon Musk as a low-cost medium-to-heavy-lift vehicle capable of taking cargo and astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). Mr Musk's California-based SpaceX company already has a $1.6bn contract with Nasa to service the ISS with food and spare equipment. But Mr Musk also has his sights set on the commercial satellite launch market, and is currently advertising prices to launch telecommunications spacecraft that dramatically undercut those of established rocket operators. The Iridium Next satellites will probably go into space from the Falcon pad being developed at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Iridium's competitors are not standing still, either. The California-based Globalstar company will launch the first of its next-generation spacecraft later this year. These satellites are also being built by TAS. And UK-based Inmarsat showed off its new handset this week. Inmarsat hopes the high-specification, competitively priced IsatPhone Pro device will prove very attractive to users. [email protected] Police said the man and woman were set upon at about 03:45 BST on Sunday shortly after they left the Blue Fly Cafe Bar on New Street. The 24-year-old man was punched and kicked for 10 minutes, suffering a broken jaw and chipped teeth. His girlfriend, 29, was repeatedly pushed to the floor. The attack only ended when a taxi driver intervened. PC Sophie Wilson said: "The victims are extremely grateful to the taxi driver for having the decency to stop and help when they were in a very frightening situation. "I am appealing for the taxi driver to get in touch as soon as possible as he may have vital information about the suspects. "This is a very disturbing incident which will quite rightly shock the local community in York and those who regard the city as a friendly and safe place to visit. "We are providing support to the young couple from Spain who have had their stay tarnished in the most sickening and vicious way." North Yorkshire Police said it was treating the attack as a racially-aggravated assault. The suspects are described as white, aged between 20 and 25, with short or shaved hair. The image was posted on the Twitter account of Khaled Sharrouf, The Australian newspaper reported. Sharrouf, who served time for planning attacks in Australia, has now joined Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria. Mr Abbott said the image showed "just how barbaric" IS militants were. The image shows a young boy - who looks to be of early primary school age - wearing a baseball cap and a blue shirt, using both hands to hold aloft the severed head. A caption was included that read "That's my boy", The Australian said. It said the image was taken in the northern Syrian city of Raqa. Another picture showed Sharrouf wearing combat fatigues posing with three children believed by security personnel to be his sons, the newspaper reported. "What we've got to appreciate is that Islamic State... is not just a terrorist group, it's a terrorist army and they're seeking not just a terrorist enclave but effectively a terrorist state," Mr Abbott told Australian radio from the Netherlands, where he is discussing issues related to flight MH17, the passenger plane brought down in Ukraine. "And this does pose extraordinary problems... not just for the people of the Middle East but for the wider world. "And we see more and more evidence of just how barbaric this particular entity is." Sharrouf was jailed in 2009 for four years for being part of a cell planning attacks in Sydney and Melbourne. After his release he was banned from leaving the country but used his brother's passport to travel to Syria with his family. Australia issued a warrant for his arrest in July after images emerged on what is thought to be his Twitter feed of another Australian, Mohamed Elomar, holding the severed heads of Syrian government soldiers. Last week, Australia announced laws that would restrict its citizens from travelling to certain countries, in a bid to prevent radicalised nationals fighting with extremist groups overseas. Between 150 and 160 Australians are believed to be fighting with militants in the Middle East, according to reports. Australia, meanwhile, says it is sending aircraft to help drop supplies to thousands of members of the Yazidi minority trapped by IS fighters on Mount Sinjar in Iraq. US and British aircraft have already dropped supplies to help the stranded people, who lack food and water and face death at the hands of the militants. The US has also conducted a series of air strikes against IS fighters. On Monday Defence Minister David Johnston indicated Australian help might not be limited to aid drops. "We're not ruling out providing some back-up assistance to the Americans as they go in and deal kinetically with this terrorist organisation," he said. "We are ready to assist in whatever way we can should we be asked to assist by the Americans and the Iraqi government." The Claim: "If we want to reform human rights laws in this country, it isn't the EU we should leave but the ECHR and the jurisdiction of its court." Reality Check verdict: If the UK wanted to stay in the EU but leave the ECHR, the European Commission would have to decide whether that meant the UK had too little respect for human rights to stay in the Union. Nobody has tried it before and lawyers disagree about what the Commission's conclusion would be. "It wasn't the European Union that delayed for years the extradition of Abu Hamza, almost stopped the deportation of Abu Qatada, and tried to tell Parliament that - however we voted - we could not deprive prisoners of the vote. It was the European Convention on Human Rights," she said. The first thing to do is distinguish between two courts: the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The ECHR, which was indeed involved in the Abu Qatada case and some (but not all) of the cases about prisoners being allowed to vote, is not part of the EU. Its job is to uphold the European Convention on Human Rights, which was drawn up after World War Two, partly thanks to Winston Churchill. The Convention is incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act (HRA). The other court is the ECJ, which is an EU institution. Its job is to uphold EU law, including the right of free movement, and so it can rule on deportations. It has also made rulings on prisoners' voting rights and may be involved if the UK tried to deport or bar entry to criminals who are from the EU or related to EU citizens, for example. If the UK were to leave the EU, it would no longer be bound by rulings from the ECJ, but it would still be bound by the ECHR, unless it decided to leave that as well. But could the country, as Theresa May suggests, leave the ECHR and abolish the Human Rights Act, but stay in the EU? That's tricky. There's disagreement between lawyers as to whether adherence to the ECHR is a condition of EU membership, as this House of Commons Library research paper makes clear. The European Commission has said that it uses being a signatory of the Convention as a way for countries to demonstrate that they have the respect for human rights required for membership. "Any member state deciding to withdraw from the Convention and therefore no longer bound to comply with it or to respect its enforcement procedures could, in certain circumstances, raise concern as regards the effective protection of fundamental rights by its authorities," the Commission said in 2007. Under such circumstances, the Commission would have to decide whether whatever replacement the UK decided to enact in place of the Convention demonstrated sufficient respect for human rights to allow for continued membership.

Hollywood director Steven Spielberg will help design the Beijing Universal park, the company said on Monday. The park is being developed with local state firm Beijing Tourism Group. Universal is the latest US firm to enter China's fast-growing entertainment sector after rivals Walt Disney and DreamWorks Animation. The company did not say when the theme park would open, but reports say it will be in 2019. Both Disney's $4.4bn theme park and DreamWorks' $3.1bn entertainment complex with Chinese partners are expected to open in 2016 in Shanghai. Film studios are in a big rush to build theme parks in the world's second-largest economy as a rapidly-growing middle class is spending more money on entertainment and travel. In April, Disney said it was increasing investment in its Shanghai Disney theme park by another $800m after striking a deal with a Chinese joint venture partner. Growth in China's entertainment and media market is expected to more than double from 2013 to $148bn by 2015, according to a PricewaterhouseCoopers global study.

Universal Studios will open its first $3.3bn (£2bn) Chinese theme park after 13 years of trying to enter the booming entertainment market.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is one of the fastest-growing and most controversial sports in the world. A UK-based study has found some competitors are dehydrating themselves to dangerous levels. The International Mixed Martial Arts Federation said work is being done to educate fighters on how to manage their weight safely. The sport, which combines techniques from wrestling and martial arts, is banned in France, but attracts millions of television viewers across the globe. It is becoming increasingly popular in the UK and Ireland as a result of high profile stars such as Dublin's Conor McGregor. As a combat sport, those who take part say they know and accept the risk of injury in the cage as a result of blows to the body and head. But Ben Crighton from Liverpool Moores University's School of Sport and Exercise Sciences says many are risking their lives before they even get into the cage by severely dehydrating themselves in order to meet strict weight limits. Severe dehydration can cause kidney failure and other health problems. In extreme cases it can be fatal. Medical research has also shown it can increase the risk of brain injury during a fight. Mr Crighton interviewed 30 professional UK fighters and 75 UK and European amateurs as part of two research projects looking at weight loss in the sport. He said he had found "alarming weight cutting behaviour in Mixed Martial Arts." "Such losses are greater than in other combat sports, likely due to the requirement to possess higher lean mass for grappling and the significant time between weigh-in and competition." MMA fighters are generally weighed 24 hours before a bout, with many dehydrating themselves to lose weight in the hope that they can then rehydrate before the fight the following day. In recent years a number of fighters have become ill or have died from complications associated with severe dehydration. In September 2013 Leandro Souza, 26, from Brazil died after reportedly attempting to lose 20% of his body mass in seven days. Chinese fighter, 21-year-old Yang Jian Bing, died before a fight in December 2015 after suffering extreme dehydration trying to meet the weight limit. Mr Crighton said a limited number of weight categories in MMA meant that fighters had to lose more weight than boxers to drop a classification. He found professional fighters were losing the biggest amount of weight, with one fighter losing 7.4kg - nearly 11% of his body weight - in the 24 hours before a fight. He found only 20% of professional fighters took advice from qualified nutritionists, with many using techniques they'd found out about on the internet, such as sitting in a sauna or hot bath for long periods of time, and starving themselves. Nearly 70% of the professionals he spoke to said they'd engaged in water loading, which involves drinking excessive amounts of water to force the body to expel it. And 17% said they'd taken prescription or over-the-counter diuretics. The study found 61% admitted taking supplements without knowing whether they contained banned substances or not. Others said they had used intravenous lines to rehydrate themselves after being weighed. Amateurs reported losing up to 10kg in the week before a fight and up to 7kg in the 24 hours before, with some saying they had shed weight 20 times in a year. Nearly 10% exhibited the classic signs of having an eating disorder. In February this year Dhafir Harris, whose fighting name is Dada 5000, suffered renal failure and two heart attacks during a fight after losing 25% of his body weight. He told 5live Investigates he had to undergo months of dialysis and treatment to help him recover. "I wouldn't wish the last couple of months of my life on anybody." The BBC also spoke to an amateur MMA fighter who said he suffered kidney damage after losing weight for a fight. As a result, he was forced to retire from the sport on the advice of his doctor. Joe Neill said: "I'd water load, I'd drink eight litres, then six, then 24 hours before weigh-in I'd drink one litre and then nothing. Then you get in the sauna and a hot bath and you sweat the rest of the weight off. "As I was cutting weight I was struggling. I had to be placed back into the bath because I was so weak. I weighed-in for the next day but I lost that fight. "After that I started getting pains in my side. I went to the doctors. They said my kidney function was down. "When I explained the process of cutting weight, they were hugely concerned by that and said I had to stop. That scared me, to be honest. "You are basically sweating yourself to the edge of death. "There is always that risk that someone will lose their life. No-one thinks it's going to be them. It's ridiculous what I was doing." As a relatively new sport in the UK and Ireland there is no regulatory body to ensure businesses, or promoters who organise MMA fights, take measures to safeguard the welfare of competitors, although big promoters say they do take safety very seriously. In a bid to address safety concerns, a voluntary organisation, Safe MMA, was set up by fighters, business people, industry experts and doctors. The organisation works closely with the International and UK Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF), which represents those involved in all aspects of the sport. A spokeswoman for IMMAF said: "Extreme weight-cutting practices are a concern in MMA and are strongly condemned as a dangerous risk to athletes by IMMAF and its medical committee." She said those taking part in IMMAF-approved or organised amateur tournament events taking place over a series of days were encouraged to compete at their "walk around" weight. She said they were also weighed more frequently and closer to the fight and had to pass medical examinations before and after each fight. She added IMMAF was proposing to introduce a mandatory online educational course on weight-cutting risks, to be included in the online registration application form for IMMAF competitions. She said the organisation would not oppose the introduction of more weight categories in the sport if it could be shown that it would reduce extreme weight-cutting. Bellator, which organised Dada 5000's fight, is one of the biggest companies involved in MMA. A spokesman said the company prided itself on looking after the safety of athletes, funded brain health research and insisted all fighters passed a number of medical tests before competing. 5 live Investigates is on BBC 5 live on Sunday 8 May at 11:00 BST.

Buildings will house researchers, businesses and students to develop research into practical uses, with work set to start in early 2017. Vice-chancellor Prof Colin Riordan said: "A new campus helps us create opportunities for all." The campus will house researchers in a range of fields, including semiconductors and chemical sciences, and a base for start-ups working with the Medicentre at Heath Park. Each building is 12,000 sq m (129,166 sq ft) and the campus will be linked to the existing business school via a bridge. Prof Riordan added: "We are hiring internationally-renowned academics who can build world-class teams of post-doctoral researchers. "We are equipping students with the skills they'll need to set up future ventures." Work on Stockton High Street, which has taken over two years, includes new road layouts, increased parking, removal of dead trees and repainting. A water feature with plants and seats was officially unveiled. Stockton Council Labour leader Bob Cook said the work had created a "modern and welcoming environment". Spanish theatre company Carros de Foc constructed the 11m (36ft) giant and 8m (26ft) wide eagle on the high street on Thursday. Earlier this month, jurors decided not to sentence James Holmes to death. His lawyers had argued the former neuroscience graduate student was mentally ill at the time of the shooting and should not be executed. Some survivors of the July 2012 attack have criticised the jury's sentence. But on Wednesday Judge Carlos Samour Jr praised the jury's compassion, contrasting it with Holmes's brutality. "It is almost impossible to comprehend how a human being is capable of such acts," said Judge Samour. On 20 July 2012, Holmes slipped into a midnight screening of Batman film The Dark Knight Rises armed with a semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. He threw smoke canisters and shot at people trying to escape. Prosecutors argued the attack was clearly premeditated, with Holmes planning and amassing weapons for months, as well as booby-trapping his apartment to kill anyone who tried to enter. Defence lawyer Daniel King said on Tuesday his client will not appeal against his conviction, avoiding another lengthy trial for the victims. "That was over a year ago and that was the decision to change," he told ITV's Good Morning Britain. "I look back at all the work I'd done - four days off that year and five the year before and I thought something's got to change." Martin left Saturday Kitchen in March last year. It is believed the man who died was a singer who was performing at the BBC Good Food Middle East Awards in 2015 in the UAE. Martin told Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan that after the shock of the man's death and his subsequent decision to change his work priorities, "for the first time in my life I'm content and happy". When asked about rumours he would join the new Great British Bake Off when it moves to Channel 4, Martin said: "I tried to put a bet on myself twice but they're not taking odds so I don't think that's going to happen." A number of guest hosts have presented Saturday Kitchen since Martin departed, including chefs John Torrode, Angela Hartnett and Lorraine Pascale. When Martin fronted the show, he asked celebrity guests for their "food heaven" and "food hell" - to have one of the dishes, voted for by viewers, cooked at the end of the programme. It also saw chefs compete against each other in the omelette challenge - creating a three-egg omelette in the fastest time. Martin took over from Antony Worrall Thompson as host when he joined the show in 2006. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

A 29% rise in the SNP vote saw Mr Arkless win Dumfries and Galloway with a majority of more than 6,500. A similar surge in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale left the SNP about 800 votes short of Mr Mundell. Mr Mundell saw his share of the vote rise slightly, which proved enough to narrowly hold off the SNP's Emma Harper. Speaking afterwards, he said: "I think it is quite clear in this constituency people did want an MP who represented their views in relation to the future of our United Kingdom and I do think the economy did play an important part as well. "I think people wanted the stability that a Conservative or Conservative-led government would bring." Labour's Archie Dryburgh was a distant third, with UKIP's Kevin Newton in fourth, ahead of Lib Dem Amanda Kubie and Green candidate Jody Jamieson. Ms Harper said she was proud to have increased the SNP's share of the vote in the constituency from 10.5% five years ago. "I think the people of Scotland want fairness, equality and justice and an end to austerity and the SNP is the only party with the agenda to help the most vulnerable people in society. That's why the people of Scotland have turned to the SNP this time," she added. In neighbouring Dumfries and Galloway, Russell Brown joined the long list of deposed Labour MPs across Scotland as the SNP's Mr Arkless won the seat. The new MP said: "We are very clear about the pledges we have put forward, that is we are going to do everything we can to back an end to austerity, get more powers for the Scottish Parliament and other progressive politics, that we think we could build alliances across the UK and bring some progressive change to the UK which we think it badly needs." Conservative Finlay Carson finished in second place, ahead of Mr Brown in third. The Labour candidate, who has been involved in nine election campaigns, said: "I have never seen a campaign like this before. It got more into the realms of a propaganda war out there on the streets. "A lot of things we were putting forward as a party and I was putting forward as a candidate in a positive manner about redistribution of wealth and trying to do something about long-term unemployment and increasing the minimum wage and the living wage. All that was drowned out." UKIP's Geoff Siddall was fourth with Lib Dem Andrew Metcalf behind him. The result in Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, the Borders constituency previously held by Lib Dem Michael Moore, was announced at about 07:30. Calum Kerr of the SNP was triumphant ahead of Conservative John Lamont with Mr Moore in third place. The former Secretary of State for Scotland paid tribute to Mr Kerr and his "fantastic" campaign. He added: "For us as Liberals, we are going to have to reflect on what happened over night. "Some of this was signalled year after year in the course of the coalition but we were there, we took difficult decisions. We now need to make sure we can refashion Liberalism in Scotland and across the UK to make ourselves relevant once again to the voters of the country." Mr Kerr said he was "honoured" to be elected following a "fair, decent and civilised" campaign in the Borders. Labour's Kenryck Lloyd-Jones finished fourth, followed by UKIP's Peter Neilson, Green Pauline Stewart and Independent Jesse Rae. Jamie Mines was injured at Swindon's Kendrick Industrial Estate in December. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is prosecuting Boundary Scaffolding Ltd and director Jonathon Lee Griffith-Clack for allegedly breaching health and safety law. The case is due at Swindon Magistrates' Court on 20 September. Following the accident last year, Mr Mines was placed in an induced coma and missed the first Christmas with his five-month-old twins Isabella and Savannah. In June, the 33-year-old returned home but had to be readmitted to hospital to have his left foot amputated after it became severely infected. The HSE said in a statement it was prosecuting the company and Mr Lee Griffith-Clack under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. "This follows an investigation into an electric shock suffered by a worker at the Kendrick Industrial Estate, Swindon, on 19 December 2016," it said. A fund to help the semi-professional football player, who is from Frome but now lives in Swindon, has raised £144,000. The 37-year-old said the surgery went well, but said he had been left temporarily paralysed on one side and was unable to use his left arm and leg. The athlete, from Aviemore, won gold in rowing at the London Paralympics in 2012 and hoped to compete in Rio this summer in cycling. However, the need to have another operation ended his dream. If the tumour was left, there was a risk it would crush his spinal cord and stop him breathing. In a video recorded from his hospital bed, Smith said: "I feel very good. [I'm] still here. I'm going to push on with the rehab now and get going. "I need to learn to walk again, learn to stand and anything. Thank you so much for all the messages. Thank you everyone for the energy, it worked." Villa have lost three of their past five games and have dropped to 14th place in the Championship following a five-game winless run. "We were totally abject in everything we did apart from the first 20 minutes, where we had two or three chances and looked okay," Bruce told BBC WM. "But as soon as they scored, everything fell to bits and that is where we are." Former Hull City and Birmingham City boss Bruce, 56, was appointed in October with Villa 19th in the table. He made an immediate impact and, after the Boxing Day win over Burton, had steered the club to 10th place - six points off the play-off places. But Bruce admitted his side were now "having a tough time". He added: "We cannot just wave a magic wand. We have to build and be strong in times like this. "After an initial two three months where we showed sheets of recovery, the last month or so has been poor." Bruce said the defeat against the Bees at Griffin Park was "arguably the worst away performance" since his appointment. "There are times in your career where you feel embarrassed and that is one of them," he continued. "We were so easy to play against. Every time Brentford passed it, they passed it through us. We weren't genuine in our work to get after them and didn't do enough. "I can only apologise. I will try my utmost to make sure we start turning this around. "We have to get a mentality and a toughness which gets you results in the Championship. We have to find a way - that's my job. "Where we are at the moment is pretty sorry. We can only get better because we couldn't play any worse." UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said Nepal had a duty to provide faster customs clearance for relief supplies. Many people are yet to receive the aid, which is piling up at Kathmandu airport, a week after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake on 25 April. More than 7,000 have died. Authorities have ruled out finding more survivors. On Saturday, Baroness Amos said she had reminded Prime Minister Sushil Koirala that Nepal had signed an agreement with the UN in 2007 for simpler and faster customs clearance for relief aid in a disaster. "He has undertaken to ensure that happens, so I hope that from now we will see an improvement in those administrative issues," she told AFP news agency. The UN representative in the country, Jamie McGoldrick, said the Nepalese government "should not be using peacetime customs methodology". Nepal lifted import taxes on tarpaulins and tents on Friday but home ministry spokesman Laxmi Prasad Dhakal said all goods arriving from abroad had to be inspected. "This is something we need to do," he said. Rameshwor Dangal, of Nepal's National Disaster Management Division, said many people were waiting to receive emergency supplies or be airlifted to safety. "In many areas people are not getting relief and it is natural that they are unhappy about it," he told AFP. At least 7,040 people are now known to have been killed in the quake which struck near Kathmandu, Nepalese officials say. More than 14,021 people were injured. Landslides and poor weather have hampered efforts to deliver aid to isolated districts, and there are only about 20 helicopters available for the rescue and relief operations. In the Sindhupalchok district, which lies north of Kathmandu, north of the capital, 95% of the houses were destroyed, chief district officer Himnath Dawadi told the BBC Nepali. Nepal has criticised both the speed of foreign aid deliveries the type of products countries are sending. Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat said: "We have received things like tuna fish and mayonnaise. What good are those things for us? We need grains, salt and sugar." Krishna Devi Sreshta is carefully picking her way through the rubble of what was her home. It's one of about 25 houses in Sankhu, just an hour's drive from Kathmandu, that was completely destroyed by the earthquake. She's here to see if she can salvage anything. "We were in the field when the earthquake hit," she says. "That's why we were saved." Not everyone was so lucky. About 50 members of this community died. She points to the clothes that she's wearing. "This is what I was wearing last Saturday. It's all I have left." Through a narrow doorway I can see the inside of her house, but it's too dangerous to go in. Everything has been removed from the house. "That was my fridge," Krishna says, pointing at some twisted remains outside. "And over there my television." A group of volunteers arrive with shovels and spades and walk past. They are here to help. No-one else is. Justin Rowlatt: Mountain to climb for relief work The fate of thousands of people in remote areas remains unknown. The death toll could go up, as search and rescue efforts continuing in several hill districts including Dhading, Rasuwa and Sindhupalchok, the government has said. While the vast majority of casualties were in Nepal, about 100 people are reported to have died in neighbouring India, China and Bangladesh. The EU envoy to Nepal, Rensje Teerink, said on Friday that the whereabouts of 1,000 EU citizens was still unknown. $415 million needed for humanitarian relief 3 million people in need of food aid 130,000 houses destroyed 24,000 people living in makeshift camps 20 teams working to reunite lost children with their families How long can people survive under rubble? Medical priorities Satellite reveals quake movement Nepal quake special report The video, taken in Rochester, Kent, shows four men and a woman getting out of new Citroen vehicles in Laker Road, near to the M2 motorway on Tuesday. The car transporter is believed to have originated in Lithuania. The Home Office said it had started an investigation into the "suspected facilitation of people smuggling". Maggie Brown, an employee at a business on a Rochester industrial estate, filmed one of two clips of the incident sent to BBC South East, from behind mirrored glass. She said she watched the driver climb on to the second level of the transporter and then tap on the cars to signal to the people inside to get out. "One got out and he [the driver] went further along and then obviously another got out. "One at a time they were just getting out. "We don't have things like that happening round where we work. To actually see that, it's like 'Oh my god what's going on'." She added: "The scary side was how easy it was for him to park up and for them to actually come out of the cars. "I was absolutely astounded by the fact that we were actually watching it at the time. You don't expect it to be on your doorstep." Immigration officials were due to talk to Ms Brown and her colleagues about the incident on Wednesday. A spokeswoman for the Home Office said: "This is now an ongoing Home Office investigation into a suspected facilitation of people smuggling and it would be inappropriate to comment further." Mr Trump has called the president the worst in history, while Mr Obama said the Republican was unfit for the office. The New York hotel developer, now president-elect, persistently questioned the birth legitimacy of the Hawaii-born president, and was publicly mocked for it by Mr Obama. The two men spoke for more than an hour in the Oval Office on Thursday and when they emerged, they tried to put their bitter past behind them, speaking warmly about unity and a peaceful transition. But the cameras told another story. Under the City Deal scheme, certain powers are devolved from central government to local authorities. The agreement will see £10m of funding provided to develop training courses for the renewable energy sector. Minister for Cities Greg Clark described the deal as a "great breakthrough for the area". Other initiatives include bringing business support services together in one place and simplifying and speeding up the planning process for major developments around the Humber Estuary. Mr Clark said training workers was the key to attracting new businesses to the area. He said: "What this City Deal is about is the businesses around the Humber, the councils around the Humber planning for the long term. "What they're saying is that we now are are confident of attracting some pretty important employers to the area." "But what we need to make sure is that they're going to have the workforce with the skills to be able to employ." The region is awaiting final decisions on two multimillion pound renewable energy developments on both banks of the Humber Estuary. Able UK is planning to spend £450m in Immingham building an international centre for renewable energy industries. In Hull, plans have been approved for a £210m "Green Port" in the city's docks to manufacture and install offshore wind turbines. Messages are relayed between the booth outside East Oxford Community Centre and the 9,000-strong camp, with some translated from Arabic and Farsi. The idea came from Oxford Brookes University student Isobel Tarr, who called it a way of showing solidarity and support. Asylum Welcome welcomed the initiative. Director Kate Smart said: "I can't think of a more powerful way for Oxford people to connect with refugees at our borders." Ms Tarr said: "For people at the camp I hope it can show that people in the UK support them and welcome them, and are capable of listening to them, in a situation where they don't generally feel heard. "For people in the UK, some have commented that it has helped them to think about what it means to find solidarity with others... having connected with an individual person rather than a mass of people." The camp has become the focal point of France's migrant crisis. It consists of people mainly from the Middle East, Afghanistan and Africa, many of whom want to claim asylum in Britain. The Home Office is planning to begin construction of a UK-funded wall to step up security. Oxford linguist Fuchsia Hart, who has been working at the camp, said people were often unsure what to say at first, but later felt "empowered" because they had been heard. "It's important that people send messages back from the UK to show that they hear their struggle, and try to make a connection with the people as individuals," she said. A hand-held recording device is set up at each site. Messages are checked and emailed to France, and vice versa, though organisers are looking to set up an app for future projects. More than 100 people have either recorded or listened to the messages so far. The project runs from 10:00 to 15:00, weather depending, until Saturday. Beck suffered a serious knee injury on the opening weekend of the 2015-16 season and played no further part in the campaign. The 26-year-old was a second half replacement for Josh Matavesi. Matavesi, Sam Parry, Dafydd Howells and Ben John crossed for the home side's tries. They say that so far in 2015 there have been about 25 cases. In October officials said that Pakistan had its highest number of cases for 15 years, mostly due to militant attacks. At that time they said there were more than 200 cases across the country. The number in October exceeded the 199 cases in 2001 but was short of the 558 cases in 1999. Most polio infections are in the north-western tribal region where militants have targeted health teams. They accuse doctors of being spies and say the vaccinations are part of a Western plot to sterilise Muslims. Prime ministerial polio adviser Ayesha Raza said on Wednesday that while it had taken time to eradicate militancy in North Waziristan, the rewards from doing so were "already visible in the polio programme". Ms Raza told the BBC that polio samples from high-incidence zones - which used to be positive for months on end - were now testing negative again. The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) had only reported seven cases so far this year, she said, while Karachi had reported none. "The army has been a great help in both these areas," Ms Raza said. "With their help, and with the help of funding from the United Arab Emirates, we have been able to extend immunisation drives to high-risk areas. "We got access to populations in Waziristan after more than two years. We have also now penetrated some formerly no-go zones in Karachi." Officials say that in recent months there has also been a clear decline in the number of attacks on polio teams. A number of men involved in such attacks have been arrested. The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says that while Pakistan is celebrating the latest figures, the two other countries in the world where polio is endemic have done equally well if not better. Nigeria has reported no new cases this year, and Afghanistan has only reported one. Our correspondent says that a major chunk of the North Waziristan population who lived under a militant-imposed vaccination ban for several years have now been vaccinated several times over along with their children. The Macclesfield premises' sale was agreed between the owners and Cheshire East Council in March. Owners Elizabet Frutos and Waqar Abbassi say they have been "left in limbo" after the council later said the price they had agreed was too high. The council said the case was "under review". Mrs Frutos and Mr Abbassi, who are married, ran part of their building on Great King Street as a cafe and sub-let the remaining two units to business tenants. The deal would have seen Cheshire East Council buying the building to enable property developer Wilson Bowden to make headway on its £90m Silk Street scheme. Those plans would have included a multiplex cinema, restaurants and large department stores. On 26 March, the council agreed a price with Mrs Frutos and Mr Abbassi as well as a level of compensation for the units' occupiers. As part of the deal, both parties committed to exchange sale contracts within 30 days - at which point the agreement would have become legally binding. Mrs Frutos and Mr Abbassi said they then closed their cafe and gave four weeks' notice to their tenants. Mr Abbassi added: "We were planning our future, we were planning our child's future... a family has hundreds of plans linked to this kind of situation." Weeks after the deal, Cheshire East Council wrote to them to say that a surveyor had judged that the agreed price and level of compensation was too high because "the property appears to have been vacant for a long time." But Ms Frutos and Mr Abbassi said they have invoices and CCTV footage that prove the units had only been empty for a few weeks, and this was only because of the council's stipulation within their agreement. The original Silk Street scheme to redevelop Macclesfield town centre has now been scrapped. However, scaled-back regeneration plans have now been unveiled for the land on which Ms Frutos' and Mr Abbassi's building is located. It is now being advertised to developers. A Cheshire East Council spokesperson said: "The council is sympathetic to individuals who have been directly affected by the change in circumstances, but we have to ensure value for money when spending public funds." They added it would "be inappropriate to comment any further" as the case was being reviewed. Ms Frutos told the BBC she hasn't been given a revised offer from the council and no longer has an income because their cafe's fixtures and fittings have been sold and their tenants have left. She said: "Now I feel like I just don't know where I'm standing. We don't know what to do". Institute led through two quick goals midway through the first half scored by Niall Grace and Stephen Curry. A fine strike by Conor McMenamin pulled one back and Town's top scorer Stephen Murray equalised with a lob over keeper Marty Gallagher on 40 minutes. Murray netted the winner in the 65th minute for Matt Tipton's side. Warrenpoint were relegated last season after a dramatic and controversial final day of the Premiership campaign. They needed just one point against Institute - the only team who could mathematically catch them - to be sure of returning to the top flight. Dennis Nicholls, 89, urged police to hurry to the Lowestoft home he shared with Karen Kimber, fearing she was going to harm him. Kimber, 53, was given a hospital order after admitting the manslaughter of her father by diminished responsibility. Suffolk Police said it had changed the way it handled 999 calls. It said it now carried out a more "rigorous assessment" of "threat". Kimber, who had a long history of mental illness, strangled her father believing he was the devil. She had sought help in the run-up to her father's death. In a 999 call from their home in Kirkley Run, Mr Nicholls said Kimber was trying to hurt him and urged police to help. He made the call just before 21:00 GMT on 19 November 2014. Shortly afterwards, Kimber was found in the street near her home. She told neighbours she had just killed her father. The matter was referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) as "there had been recent police contact with the victim prior to his death". The IPCC found a case for gross misconduct against a member of police staff and they were subsequently dismissed. Suffolk Police said call handlers now used a new method of dealing with each call, based on a more "rigorous assessment of the threat, risk and harm posed by each incident". A IPCC spokesman said: "The investigation examined the actions and decision making of a call handler who took an emergency call from Mr Nicholls, specifically looking at the call handler's assessment of the risk posed to Mr Nicholls and the grading of the call. "The investigation report will be published in due course." The Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust, the county's mental health care provider said Kimber received an effective and appropriate level of care. A review into the case is being carried out by the Waveney Community Safety Partnership. Andy Haldane told BBC Newsnight that businesses had not invested enough to give the productivity improvements necessary to push up pay. Low pay had contributed to low interest rates, which will remain relatively low for "a pretty long time", he added. Earlier he told BBC Wales the Bank needed to look at raising rates. "We've gone through, for most people, a pretty extraordinary, almost unprecedented period of real take home pay having flatlined for the better part of a decade, and that is well beyond anyone's historical experience. "And understandably people are feeling frustrated and squeezed by that squeeze on their purchasing power in the shops," Mr Haldane said. UK inflation rate at highest since 2013 Spending squeeze to worsen, warns Bank Farewell to pay growth He said productivity - how efficient workers and firms are - was also flatlining, and this was one of the biggest contributing causes to lack of pay growth. Only between 1% and 5% of firms were "high-innovation" businesses who had embraced "the rise of the robot" and are "taking the productivity high road," he said. "The root cause of the stagnation in productivity and pay is that long lower tail of firms. They're taking the low-productivity road." Businesses need to benchmark themselves against other firms to see whether they are performing above average, he said. Pay growth has been falling rather than rising over the past year, which has taken the Bank and the rest of the world "somewhat by surprise" given buoyant UK jobs growth and falling unemployment. Nevertheless, lack of pay growth is "a factor that has contributed to rates in the UK remaining at their currently very low levels". He said the Bank is "watching closely for any signs of pay picking up. That's one of the key indicators we look at when judging the stats." Over the past 300 years, average interest rates has been about 5%, compared with the current record low interest rates of 0.25%. Mr Haldane said: "Rates currently, and if you believe financial markets, prospectively, are set to remain pretty low for a pretty long time. I mean not just the lowest in the last 300 years, possibly the lowest in the last several thousand years, I would say." He added that for people planning getting long-term loans such as mortgages, any future rate rises would be "gradual and to a limited extent". "By which we mean the numbers that may have been in people's heads from the past are probably on the high side relative to what we might expect in the future. Let me not put a number on that. But limited and gradual is the name of the game." Interest rates have been held at a record low since last year. But at its last rate rise meetings, three of the eight members of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee surprisingly voted to raise interest rates, jolting financial markets. Mr Haldane has also said he expects to vote for rate rise this year. Earlier he told BBC Wales that the Bank "need to look seriously at the possibility of raising interest rates to keep the lid on those cost of living increases." Ella McCain, from Cholmondeley in Cheshire, was riding in her debut race on Friday night at Carlisle racecourse. The 16-year-old won a seven-furlong flat race on 7-1 shot Dark Confidant. "It was brilliant. It doesn't get much better than this, winning your first race. I've just done my GCSEs and this was far more enjoyable," she said. Her dad Donald McCain Jr, who trained 2011 National winner Ballabriggs, saw his other daughter Abbie ride her first winner earlier this month at Wolverhampton. He said: "Both Ella and Abbie have been pony racing for a number of years. They have plenty of experience under their belts and they were always going to get races when they turned 16. "Success and winning the big races is something we strive for and this [Ella's win] is just hugely satisfying," he added. Both are aiming to race on 'Amazing Monday' at Carlisle on 7 August - the UK's only all-female jockey card of races. Victory there, then in the Betfred Ladies' Trophy Handicap Stakes at Haydock Park five days later, can lead to a £20,000 Jockey Club development award for young female jockeys. 'Ginger' McCain, who died in 2011, trained Red Rum to three National wins in the 1970s and Amberleigh House to victory in the 2004 National. As the phone lines closed early on Saturday, the UK total stood at £46,624,259 and, locally, at £950,239. Barra Best and Jo Scott presented the evening show in Titanic Belfast. They linked up with the BBC One Children in Need live show to give updates on what was happening around Northern Ireland. One of the highlights of the night saw 178 children from Northern Ireland joining thousands of others from across the UK to form a choir singing "Lean on Me". The fun-packed BBC Children in Need evening on BBC One got underway at 19:30 GMT on Friday with Tess Daly and Greg James opening the fantastic night of entertainment. Barra and Jo gave BBC Northern Ireland viewers a taste of the ingenious and inventive ways local people have been fundraising for this year's appeal and also looked at some of the many local groups that have been supported by BBC Children in Need. Throughout the week, BBC Radio Ulster has supported the appeal. As part of this, Hugo Duncan and his team raised more than £18,000 towards this year's NI total through Hugo's on-air auction. Barra, Jo and Pudsey will be back for BBC Children in Need: The Best Bits - a 70-minute special on BBC One Northern Ireland from 17:45 GMT giving viewers the chance to relive some of the highlights from Friday. BBC Children in Need spends the money raised by the appeal to make a positive change to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in Northern Ireland and across the UK.

Kevin Magee reports. She said it was time to "break the logjam" with more peers attending the Lords than ever before. There are currently 781 peers eligible to take part in Lords proceedings. A new list of peerages is expected next week. The Dissolution Honours List is made following the end of every Parliament. Ms Cooper, the shadow home secretary, said Lords reform was "long overdue" and accused Prime Minister David Cameron of "trying to flood the House of Lords with more Tory appointments". She cited LSE research which found that 62% of Lords appointments since 2010 had been to the government benches - more than under other recent prime ministers. Members of the House of Lords are appointed by the Queen on the advice of the prime minister. Attempts to reform the system were abandoned in the last Parliament amid strong backbench opposition, particularly among Conservative MPs. Another Labour leadership contender, Andy Burnham, says he would introduce an "indirect election" system based on votes cast at the general election, which would create a "proportional Lords". Liz Kendall and Jeremy Corbyn have also argued for the Lords to be elected. The Conservatives, who have a 12-seat majority in the House of Commons, have 224 peers, compared to Labour's 214 and the Lib Dems' 101. There are also 178 crossbench peers. The SNP says it will continue to refuse to sit in the "bloated, ridiculous, unelected second chamber". Ms Cooper also criticised the government for the way it is introducing "English votes for English laws", replacing the Human Rights Act and changing the rules on party funding. She called for a new "convention" to advise on constitutional changes, including Lords reform, and said that as leader she would "go ahead anyway" if Mr Cameron rejected her plans. Dyfed-Powys Police went to an isolated property near Machynlleth on Sunday after reports of her sudden death. During a search of the grounds, officers also found the body of a man. The woman's death is being treated as murder and no-one else is being sought in connection with the incident, while a post-mortem examination for the man, 45, will be carried out on Tuesday. However, the RSPCA said Natasha Gregory, 22, from Swindon, would also be informed of the potential hazards of dyeing cats. The cat, called oi! Kitty, was reportedly seen being thrown over the garden fence of a man on 18 September, who called RSPCA officers. An RSPCA spokeswoman at the time criticised it as a "sick prank". The organisation's officers washed the two-year-old cat, but its colour only faded slightly. Following widespread media coverage, Miss Gregory, who has pink hair and says she "loves" the colour, contacted the RSPCA and asked them to return the animal. She told the BBC: "I love my cat - that cat is fed better than most people. I wanted people to know she wasn't harmed at all. "I wont be doing it again - I was so shocked to see my cat on the news. I thought I'd never see her again." An RSPCA spokeswoman said the organisation would visit Miss Gregory to give her advice on animal care. She added: "Following the visit, as no offence has been committed and as a vet has confirmed the cat is in good health, she will be returned to her owner." She said the dye would have to grow out. Massaro, the defending champion, defeated Egypt's Nouran Gohar 12-14 12-10 11-7 and will face another Egyptian, world number one Nour El Sherbini, in Saturday's final. Willstrop beat men's world number one Karim Abdel Gawad of Egypt 14-12 11-6. He takes on Egypt's Mohamed El Shorbagy in the final. The World Series is the end-of-season championship for both the men's and women's professional tours. Massaro, 33, said the players had struggled with the schedule, with Friday's evening matches starting at 10pm local time due to Ramadan. "It's a tough situation for us both," said Massaro, whose match finished past midnight. "It's really late and even though you get up late and do everything you can to recover, your body clock says that you should be in bed and not warming up for a squash match." Willstrop, the world number six, has reached the final of the World Series Finals for the first time in his 17-year career. "I'm 33, I've had time out like a few of us have, but I'm not taking it for granted that I'll be able to get back to where I was when I was 29, it's not that simple," said the Yorkshireman. Plaid Cymru's Simon Thomas and Conservative Russell George urged Business Secretary Greg Clark to back the green energy project. Mr Thomas said they were given a "fair hearing" at the meeting in London. The UK government said it was still considering the findings of the Hendry review, which backed the plans. Mr Thomas, who chairs the assembly's finance committee and Mr George, chairman of the economy committee, stressed the cross-party support in Wales for the plan, and the positive tone of the report published in January by former UK energy minister Charles Hendry. "This would be an important pathfinder project which could lead to a whole new industry using the expertise devised in Wales," Mr Thomas said before the meeting. "It would be an extremely poor message to those involved in the Swansea Bay City Deal region if we lose a huge renewable investment project in the tidal lagoon due to dither and delay. "The proposed Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon could kick start the regeneration of our coastal communities and give a boost to our industrial heartlands." Mr George said the delegation showed a "united front" on the issue from political parties in Wales. Labour AM Huw Irranca-Davies - who chairs the assembly's constitutional committee - had also hoped to meet Mr Clark but was not available on Thursday. Following the meeting, the Plaid AM said they had been given a "fair hearing" by Mr Clark. "It is evident that the UK Secretary for State is serious about moving towards cutting carbon emissions. For individual projects we understand the Westminster Government is looking at all the figures. "It is important as assembly members we made the case for this investment for Wales and the meeting has ensured the Westminster Government has listened to the positive messages we put forward." A spokesman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said: "The government is considering the recommendations of the Hendry Review and taking the time needed to determine what is in the best interests of UK energy consumers and taxpayers in the long term. "We will publish our response in due course." Media playback is not supported on this device But the 45-year-old can draw on past Crucible success against the four-time winner. "I beat him on his debut here, albeit that was a long time ago, and a couple of years ago too, so I'm capable," he told BBC Sport. "I practice with him enough and I said when I qualified that John would be a big threat at this tournament." McManus reached the last eight in Sheffield by beating Ali Carter and Stephen Maguire. To reach the semi-finals for the third time in his career he must get the better of fellow Scot Higgins, who had little trouble easing past Ryan Day and Ricky Walden. "John looks strong," said McManus. "His long game is in, his scoring; everything you expect. "When he's playing his best stuff, he one of the two or three best players in the history of the game." Higgins, 40, became world champion for a fourth time in 2011 and has been showing signs of a return to form in the last 18 months after a period in the doldrums. "Two or three years ago I was thinking I was a journeyman player, so I'm in a great place compared to that," he told BBC Sport. "I'm delighted to be through and to be playing my good mate next. It should be a great occasion. "The good thing is Scotland will have a player in the semi-final." Media playback is not supported on this device Higgins, aiming for a sixth appearance in the last four, has known McManus since his teenage days. "I've got the upmost respect for Alan," he said. "He's one of the reasons that I'm maybe decent at this game because I went into the Masters Club in Glasgow as a 15-year-old and he was on the verge of turning professional. "I watched him day-in, day-out and was lucky enough to practice with him. I learned so much from him." Characters in the set include the Sindy doll and Action Man, as well as brands like Spirograph, Stickle Bricks and Fuzzy Felt. Meccano, the Merrythought bear, W Britain toy figures, Space Hopper and Hornby Dublo trains also feature. The series of 10 stamps will be released on Tuesday at 7,000 post offices and to buy online. Royal Mail spokesman Philip Parker said: "British toymakers enjoyed a reputation for quality and innovation. "These nostalgic stamps celebrate 10 wonderful toys that have endured through the decades." Here are pictures of the 10 stamps in the series: Amy Brodie and Robyn Collins scored the Scots' goals to set up a last-four match with hosts Spain, who beat Ghana. Scotland head coach Gordon Shepherd said: "The focus, concentration and application of the players was excellent. "We're in the semi-finals and the focus on that game will start later today." Czech Republic play Ukraine and Poland face Turkey in the remaining quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Scotland men's head coach Derek Forsyth has named his squad for the three Test matches against France in Le Touquet from 12-17 February. The games are the final part of the squad's preparation for World League 2, which takes place in Belfast from 11-19 March and where Scotland are in Pool B with France, Poland and Wales. "The camp in France follows a good camp in Spain, and selection will be made following these two solid sets of test matches," said Forsyth. Scotland senior men's squad Wei Adams (Canterbury), Russell Anderson (Cannock), Tim Atkins (Reading), Michael Bremner (Klipper THC), Gavin Byers (Grove Menzieshill), Patch Christie(Durham University), Dan Coultas (Edinburgh University), Ben Cosgrove (Grove Menzieshill), Callum Duke (Hillhead), David Forrester (Edinburgh University), Alan Forsyth (Surbiton), Cammy Fraser (Grange), Ed Greaves (Nurnberger), Sean Hadfield(Bowden), Hamish Imrie (Schaerweijde), Willie Marshall (Surbiton), Lee Morton (Kelburne), Nick Parkes (Surbiton), Duncan Riddell (Grange), Jamie Wong (Edinburgh University). The games will be played on 14 February at 16:00 GMT, 15 February at 16:00 GMT and 17 February at 10:00 GMT. Find out how to get into hockey with our special guide. The 25-year-old Scotland international joined from Edinburgh in November and, after two appearances from the bench, he will start against Wasps on Sunday. "It's been a whirlwind of a month for me. It all happened so quickly," Denton told BBC Radio Bristol. "I appreciate the time the coaches have given me to get ready. I feel like I'm ready to give it a good shot." Bath face Wasps at the Ricoh Arena in the European Champions Cup and Denton feels he can help the club improve their inconsistent form this season. Last season's Premiership finalists have suffered back-to-back defeats in their domestic league. "I feel I've got something to add to this team," he said. "The way I play is a very direct style of rugby and I think I can get this world-class backline on the front foot. "I'm looking forward to getting a start and imposing myself on the game. "We want to get back to winning ways, we need to be winning these big games to be winning big competitions and I'm looking forward to the game." Having lost to Wasps earlier in the season, Denton also says the squad are looking forward to setting the record straight. "It's a tough game," he said. "It's a place where they don't lose often but we are going to take the game to them. "If we play to our full potential - I've seen hints of it in training - we are going to be a very difficult team to stop." Theo, a three-year-old Siamese cross, has returned home with items including a phone charger, a hand puppet, a pen and a child's artwork. Paul Edwards, who lives in Ipswich, says his neighbours are understanding. "We take photographs of things that Theo has brought home and put them up on Facebook, saying 'Excuse me, do any of you recognise these?'," he said. Mr Edwards said he and his girlfriend Rachael Drouet started noticing cat toys around their house which they "didn't recognise". He said: "We would pick one up and say 'Did you buy this?' And we'd say 'No'. "We sheepishly had to go to our neighbour's with a handful of cat toys, which turned out to be his." Mr Edwards said things "escalated" after that. "We've had things like muslin cloths, fluffy pens, a USB phone charger cable, a child's piece of art which they'd obviously spent most of the morning making - a glorious thing with lots of different colour feathers and leaves stuck to it, lots of things. "We've got some other neighbours who have young children and quite like the cat so [they] had encouraged him into the house. "He started stealing things from them and it kind of went downhill from there." Ms Drouet said she felt sorry for their neighbours, one of which is a household with young twins. "Last month he broke into their home, ran upstairs and nicked a fluffy pink pen from the twins' bedroom right in front of them," she said. "Luckily they think it's hilarious." Ms Drouet said Theo was becoming a "bit of a neighbourhood celebrity for all the wrong reasons". "We live in hope that one day he'll bring back an iPad or something of significant value," she said.

The body of Roy Blackman, 73, was found inside the property on Headcorn Road, Biddenden, just before 09:00 GMT on Monday. Post-mortem tests showed he had suffered severe blunt force injuries. Police believe he was murdered sometime between 01:00 and 03:00 that morning. A safe was also missing from the home. Det Insp Lee Whitehead said: "Mr Blackman was a well-known and well-liked member of the community. "He ran businesses in the area for many years and had a family who are distraught at his murder." He said he believed several suspects had targeted "a vulnerable man in his own home leaving a trail of devastation in their wake". Detectives from Kent's serious crime unit are carrying out inquiries in the neighbourhood and seeking witnesses. They are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area of Headcorn Road between Weeks Lane and Frittenden Road from 19:30 GMT on Sunday into the early hours of Monday. 20 February 2015 Last updated at 06:50 GMT Lily the kid became unwell when she was three weeks old and was taken inside to be looked after.

BBC One's Happy Valley picked up the prize for best new programme, following its Bafta Award victory for best drama series earlier this year. A second series of the police drama has just started filming in Yorkshire. Red Production Company, which made Happy Valley as well as BBC One's Last Tango in Halifax and ITV's Prey, was named production company of the year. Comedian Frankie Boyle hosted the award ceremony in Edinburgh on Thursday. The award for best online innovation went to Channel 4's Stand Up To Cancer show. The winner of the prize for TV moment of the year will be decided by a vote on the festival app, and will be announced at the end of the festival on Friday. The nominees are: BBC One took the channel of the year crown from Channel 4, which won last year. Turnover at the club grew from £11.8m to £14.6m in the latest accounts. That coincided with Bath reaching last season's Premiership final and the high-profile signing of Sam Burgess. "Off the pitch, we are close to achieving our ambition of operating as a self-sustaining club," managing director Tarquin McDonald said. "This means that we can continue to invest in the club's future and it also provides the club with greater flexibility in terms of financing a new stadium." Bath, who are currently ninth in the Premiership, lost to Saracens in last year's Premiership final. Burgess has since returned to rugby league with NRL side South Sydney Rabbitohs. The work at Nailsea and Backwell railway station included painting shelters and repairing the platform surface. A spokesman from North Somerset Council said much of the work was carried out by offenders under the Probation Service's Community Payback scheme. New posters at the station feature artwork by local schoolchildren. The repairs were organised by the Severnside Community Rail Partnership, First Great Western and North Somerset Council. Johnson, 37, is the bookmakers' favourite to win a first title in 2016 after 19-time winner McCoy announced his retirement on Saturday. Asked how often he has been second to McCoy, 40, in the championship, Johnson told BBC Sport: "More times than I care to remember. I'm not 100% sure. I think it's at least 15 or 16. It could even be 17. It's around that figure." The figure is actually 15, and likely to be 16 when the jump racing season ends in April, but the pair share a mutual respect and friendship, although Johnson admits he has sometimes "loathed" McCoy after being beaten. Here, Johnson talks about reaction to McCoy's retirement, the pair's relationship, his own ambitions and the horses he is looking forward to riding at the Cheltenham and Grand National meetings. Johnson has won the Cheltenham Gold Cup - on Looks Like Trouble in 2000 - and Champion Hurdle - on Rooster Booster in 2003 - but says being champion jockey would be his biggest success. "Without doubt, I will be giving it everything I've got. It's the one thing I've always wanted to do - that's been my goal since I started when I was 16. It would be nice if I manage to do that. "To be champion is the best accolade you can have as a jockey. It shows consistency and hard work through a 12-month period. You have to be committed. "I know I'm definitely at the end of my career, not the beginning of it. It is a case of how you feel yourself with injuries, which tend to play a major part in the decision, about when it's time to finish. "For me, I'm fit, healthy and enjoying it. I ride for nice people and have good rides on a regular basis. I've no intention to retire for the foreseeable future. McCoy won his first title in 1996 and has been champion ever since. Johnson was runner-up for the first time in 1998 and is set to be second for the 16th time in April. Media playback is not supported on this device "We know each other very well. We sit next to each other in the changing rooms most days of the year. "We are both determined to win when we get out there, and want to beat each other as much as anybody else. "The great thing about AP to me is he's the same today as when I first met him. For any young jockey starting off, or the general public outside the weighing room, he has time for everybody. "He's literally one of the lads, who has been fantastic for racing." Johnson has ridden more than 2,800 winners in his career. Only McCoy, with more than 4,300, has more victories among jump jockeys. "I've been lucky and privileged to ride with AP. He has taken race riding to a new level. He's definitely the greatest jockey I've ridden with and the history book will say he's the greatest jump jockey ever. "It's been amazing to be a part of that. He's a great friend and always will be. I have a lot of admiration for him and massive respect for what he's achieved. "I've always tried to be champion jockey as hard as I can. Some years I have got closer than others. "Hopefully I have been a good influence on him but I think he's been a massive influence on every other jockey riding. It has made other jockeys more dedicated, more focused on everything. "He's got an awful lot to be proud of, on and off the racecourse. I couldn't speak highly enough of him. "He is one of the hardest men I have ever known. He would put himself through anything to achieve what he wants to achieve, but you could see it was very hard for him to come to that decision to retire. "It's going to be an odd sensation when he's not there after April. As much as I loathe him sometimes when he beats me, he is very much someone I enjoy being around. "It's going to be an emotional time until the end of the season for him and the rest of us." McCoy has ridden 200 seasonal winners nine times in his career, including a best of 289, and Johnson knows it is a numbers game - the most victories wins the title. "I rode 186 winners one year. I've never ridden 200 but I think that is the target I will be looking to get near. "I know the bookies have prices on all of us but you'd be hard pressed to pick a winner. It's going to be a hard year. "Without AP, it is going to be a much more open race and there will be a few lads who think they have a realistic chance of getting there. "It's going to be a very competitive race and fingers crossed, I have very loyal trainers and hopefully I'll have a great chance." Was part of him happy his rival retired? "Oh definitely, without a shadow of a doubt. I would love to have been champion jockey and beaten AP. It would have been the ultimate thing for me to do. "But being champion jockey would be my best achievement. With him not there, it makes it easier, and a small part of me thinks he's had enough now, he should enjoy retirement. "Whatever he decides to go and do, I guarantee he will be a success, whether he goes on TV or radio or in to some other line of work. He can do the school run a bit more often." Johnson, who rides mainly for trainer Philip Hobbs, is looking forward to next month's Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National at Aintree in April. "Cheltenham is a fantastic four days. I'd be hard pressed to give you just one of my horses to follow. "I've got lots of good rides. After Cheltenian's run in second in the Betfair Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday, he would have a great chance in the County Hurdle. "Balthazar King was second in the Grand National last year. He is really well and it will be his target to try to go one better. He has all the right credentials and he'll be the one I'm looking forward to." The county Down woman was pleased with her 11th place finish in cold and mucky conditions which could scarcely be any further removed from what she will have to face in the Brazilian city. Twelve months ago, the county Down woman was in the 'Olympic hopeful' category. Her 3,000m steeplechase personal best and Northern Ireland record of 9:52.94 set in May 2014 had been good enough to earn her a Commonwealth Games spot in Glasgow but was still almost eight seconds outside the Rio standard. The Newcastle athlete and her coach and partner, Richard Rodgers, believed the Olympic mark was within reach, even though her name wasn't necessarily cropping up in Irish athletics circles about likely Rio qualifiers. However, on a July evening in Letterkenny, O'Flaherty helped create a piece of Irish athletics history as she, Michelle Finn and Sara Treacy all pushed each other to achieve the Olympic Games standard. O'Flaherty's time of 9:42.61 cut nearly 10 seconds off her previous personal best as Finn (9:43.34) and Treacy (9:44:15) were also under the Rio mark of nine minutes and 45 seconds. "I don't think three Irish athletes had ever achieved an Olympic qualifying standard in the same race in Ireland," recalls O'Flaherty about an achievement which came five days before her 34th birthday. "I'd become great friends with Michelle Finn and before that race in Letterkenny we said we'd not let each other go in that race and that's what happened. "And if you were talking in terms of a rivalry between the three of us, the way I would put it is that myself, Michelle and Sara have all really spurred each other on to put the work in." In under 10 minutes, O'Flaherty's life had taken a dramatic turn. First up, the county Down woman had booked herself a trip to the World Championships in Beijing six weeks later. The trip to China didn't go entirely to plan as she suffered in humid conditions with her heat time some 23 seconds outside her Letterkenny run. Media playback is not supported on this device "When I ran in Letterkenny, that was when I really peaked in terms of the season and it was a long time to hold that through six weeks to late August. "I held back at the start of the steeplechase heat but it was still very, very fast right from the start and I quickly got into lactic." As Kerry began to suffer, she realised why so many of her fellow competitors had been wearing ice-jackets in the call-room before the steeplechase qualifier. "My body temperature starting rising and rising and the lactic started to build and I struggled in the last kilometre. "But hopefully I've learned a few things about how to cope with the heat a bit better." Arguably, even more significant to O'Flaherty's chances of doing herself justice at the Olympics is that she will be able to plan her season, given that she has already banked the Rio standard. "If I hadn't got the qualifying, the plan probably would have been to go to the (United) States early this year for altitude training and then chase the Rio time in the late Spring meetings at places like Stanford. "It would have been a massive expense as well having to do that in addition to the toll that it would have taken on the body." Instead, O'Flaherty is now in a position where she can largely pick and choose her races. The 34-year-old also arrived into 2016 as a European cross country team medallist after helping the Ireland women clinch bronze at last month's championships in Hyeres. Follwing her outing in the Northern Ireland vest at Saturday's IAAF Antrim International Cross Country event at Greenmount, the Newcastle athlete is planning a short indoor season before heading to her regular altitude base of Font Romeu in the French Pyrenees later in the Spring. "I will probably base myself there until August and travel to races in the early summer from Barcelona including the European Championships in Amsterdam, which are five weeks before the Olympics. "I am in a good position but I still have to show decent form and I will hopefully get through a round at the Europeans to give myself some good preparation for Rio." O'Flaherty's support from the Sports Institute of Northern Ireland, which includes twice-weekly hurdling sessions with Tom Reynolds, has also been supplemented by sponsorship from three Downpatrick-based McGrady businesses, which she says, will cover her altitude training costs ahead of Rio. While SINI and her new sponsors are vital ingredients to O'Flaherty's Olympic build-up, the constant in her athletics life, and indeed personal life, is coach and partner Rodgers. O'Flaherty's first Facebook post after the Letterkenny race thanked Rodgers for "sticking with me and believing in my dreams". "Richard has developed a really good programme for me. He is happy to listen to other coaches with maybe a bit more experience in certain areas. "We've learned from the likes of Chris Jones coming in at times on the endurance side of things because I came essentially from a 1500m background. "Richard plans everything out. Looks at the race programme and that takes a little bit of pressure off me. "And with me getting the Olympic standard, I now have to fill in the whereabouts forms in terms of being available at all times for drugs testing so he is able to remind me about things like that. "Richard has been coaching me for the best part of 10 years and now that we're partners, I suppose our lives are very athletics orientated. "But it seems to be working very well." Russia's communications regulator Roskomnadzor had warned that Telegram would be blocked if it did not comply with new data laws. Founder Pavel Durov said the company would be registered on the government's list of information distributors. However, he insisted Telegram would not share confidential user data. Telegram lets people send encrypted messages, which cannot be read by criminals or law enforcement if intercepted. It has about 100 million users, but is also thought to be popular with the so-called Islamic State (IS) group and its supporters. Russia is introducing new data laws that require "information distribution organisers" to register with the regulator and store users' data for six months. Companies must also hand over their encryption keys when asked, but critics say the requirements, which come into force in 2018, are unfeasible. Telegram had previously refused to register, because it did not want to compromise the privacy of its users, six million of whom are in Russia. However, on Wednesday the company confirmed it had submitted its registration information to the authorities. "We've no issue with formalities," wrote Mr Durov on Twitter. "But not a single byte of private data will ever be shared with any government." Expanding on his comments, Mr Durov told the Financial Times newspaper: "We didn't want to give the authorities a chance to block Telegram under a pretext of not providing nonsense data like the name of our company. "If they're going to block us, they'll have to do it for a serious reason." The International Civil Aviation Organisation says the ban is necessary because batteries can create intense fires that could destroy aircraft. The ban is scheduled to come into force on 1 April. Adoption of the ICAO decision is not compulsory but many countries do adopt the agency's recommendations. The ban does not affect the batteries inside gadgets people take into the passenger cabins of planes. The ban will remain in place until at least 2018 when the ICAO is expected to conclude work on safe ways to pack and transport the batteries, said Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, president of the ICAO council. The Rechargeable Battery Association, which fought the ban, said its members were preparing to comply. It added that the transport restriction could lead to "significant disruption in the logistics supply chain", especially for medical devices. While the majority of lithium-ion batteries are transported on cargo ships, about 30% are still delivered by air. Many travel in the holds of passenger aircraft rather than in dedicated cargo planes. A single cargo container can hold thousands of batteries. The US Federal Aviation Administration estimates that air carriers who transport batteries in bulk to the US also carry about 26 million passengers a year. Tests by aviation bodies have established that lithium-ion batteries can self-ignite and burn with a heat of about 600C - close to the melting point of the aluminium used in the superstructure of many aircraft. Separate tests have also established that overheated batteries can give off fumes that, if they build up, can lead to explosions that knock out onboard fire suppression systems letting the fires burn uncontrolled. The tests led Boeing and Airbus to declare in 2015 that continuing to ship lithium-ion batteries in bulk was "an unacceptable risk". The Kashmir Reader, an English-language daily, was ordered to stop publishing in early October after weeks of unrest. The paper was accused of "inciting violence". But the government said on Monday that "there was no further need to disallow its publication". Rights groups had said the ban was an attack on the freedom of the press. The daily's editor, Hilal Mir, told the BBC that "a wrong had been rectified". "I feel like we have been released from jail. It's like being born again. The ban period was tough, but my staff stood by me. I am glad that the government has lifted an unjust ban," he said. Kashmir newspaper ban criticised The four-year-old Kashmir Reader, which is published in Srinagar, is well-known in the region. It was banned after weeks of violence, sparked by the killing of prominent separatist militant Burhan Wani by Indian security forces. More than 80 people have been killed in clashes between protesters and security forces and thousands more have been injured in Kashmir since July. There has been relative calm, however, in the past few weeks. Disputed Kashmir is claimed in its entirety by both India and Pakistan and has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years, sparking two wars between the countries. Within the disputed Muslim-majority territory, some militant groups have taken up arms to fight for independence from Indian rule or a merger with Pakistan. The move involves three oil exploration companies, Falkland Oil and Gas (FOGL), Edison International and Noble Energy. They will continue their operations in other parts of the region, but need "disciplined capital management in the current oil price environment". The price of Brent Crude has almost halved in the last year. The announcement also follows Argentina's ramping up of political pressure on the companies last week. The disputed sovereignty of the Falklands makes drilling there controversial. FOGL initially planned to explore five oil wells in the region in 2015. Oil explorers globally have scaled back drilling work to control costs amidst the steep decline in oil prices. Shares in FOGL opened 4.3% higher as investors saw the news as positive. The body of 48-year-old Michelle Wright was found at a house on Nether Shire Lane, Shiregreen, on Saturday. A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police said detectives are awaiting the result of a post-mortem examination. A 47-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on bail pending further enquiries. The force has appealed for witnesses to come forward. Live updates on this story and others in South Yorkshire The 430 sq km (166 sq miles) park is home to the largest concentration of the world's remaining one-horned rhinoceros.

Local media estimate that 12 rhinoceros were killed by poachers since January this year. Kevin McKay's trial at Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard his firm IPPS provided security for Mr Trump's Menie golf development between 2008 and 2009. A jury found McKay, 46, guilty of being concerned in the fraudulent evasion of VAT worth £419,799. Sentence was deferred for reports and he was remanded in custody. Mr Trump's golf development at Menie opened in 2012. Records showed that McKay, from Aberdeen, had charged companies VAT and that large sums of money were being transferred from his business bank to his own personal account. The 46-year-old was charged after HMRC officials were called in to investigate but the International Personal Protection Services (IPPS) owner denied the allegations and blamed his ex-wife. The court heard invoices provided to the links golf course were examined, and that security guards provided mobile patrols at Menie. Other invoices showed security guards employed by IPPS had also worked at other businesses, including Miller Construction, Rotech Ltd and Robert Gordon University. The offences happened between August 2008 and May 2014. Sheriff Alison Stirling remanded McKay in custody, telling him that it was "virtually inevitable" that he would be given a custodial sentence when he returned to court for sentence next month. Churcher took over the side in August after Steve Larkins' departure and guided the Reds to fifth in National League Division Two South. "It is with a heavy heart that I have decided not to continue with Redruth RFC for the 2017-18 season," he said. "I will still play an active role at the club overseeing certain aspects of the coaching side." Churcher, who is a full-time rugby coach, admitted last week he was considering his future, telling BBC Radio Cornwall: "It's been quite tough this season, especially since Christmas, trying to coach three or four teams in a week. "I've spread myself quite thin. I've got to look at myself and be a bit selfish about it." He has since decided to quit as the Reds head coach following the 32-26 defeat by Henley Hawks in the club's final game of the season on Saturday. "Everyone at the club has been brilliant and I could not have asked for anything more," Churcher told the club's website. "Currently, Redruth have a real quality group of players, all of whom I have become attached to, which has made my decision to leave even harder. "All the players have shown so much promise and dedication this season. "I hope that the memories we have created over the past two years will be the basis for the future on and off the field in continuing to set the standards high and move forward." Almost 35,000 fans have so far renewed, with the club hoping to improve on the 43,000 sold last season. That would raise more than £11m, and King says the money will be spent on recruitment. "All of our season ticket money will be invested in the squad as we work towards taking our club back to the top," King said on the club website. The chairman is one of several directors and shareholders who have committed to providing further investment as the club approaches its second season back in the top flight. Manager Pedro Caixinha faces a summer of rebuilding, having succeeded Mark Warburton in February with the club falling significantly behind champions Celtic in the Premiership. Aberdeen, who won 2-1 at Ibrox on Wednesday night, have secured the runners-up place, but Rangers will finish third and play in the Europa League qualifiers in the summer. "The team didn't perform to expectation this season but it is important to remember that some targets have been met," King said. "In particular, getting back into European competition was one of our non-negotiables for this season. "We are now back on that stage and looking forward immensely to the Europa League qualifiers and our ongoing involvement in Europe in the years to come. "Pedro Caixinha and his backroom team have been assessing the squad since having arrived at Rangers, and will make the necessary changes in the summer so that we are as well prepared as possible for the qualifiers and the new season. "The fact that we have already reached almost 35,000 renewals - against what has been a backdrop of transition and managerial change - demonstrates the terrific fan base that we have. "They are appreciated all over the world for the way they have stood by the club in the past five years. On behalf of the board and staff I thank every one of them. I can only marvel at the steadfast loyalty of our supporters." In a rare comment on such issues, a foreign ministry spokesman said the 13 had the right documents to exit China. China tends to view North Koreans who escape across its border as illegal economic migrants and sends them back. The group are now in South Korea, which provides an aid and adjustment package for all North Koreans who defect. South Korea announced the defection on Friday, saying the size of the group was "unprecedented". It gave no details of where they had been working nor of how they had travelled to Seoul, but said they had grown disillusioned with North Korea. It is unusual for China and South Korea to make public comments on defections. But Chinese spokesman Lu Kang told a routine news briefing on Monday that 13 North Koreans had been "found exiting the Chinese border with valid passports" on 6 April. He said it was important to note that unlike many defectors, they all had valid identity documents and had entered and exited legally. South Korea's Yonhap news agency cited unnamed sources as saying the restaurant was in Ningbo, in China's north-eastern province of Zhejiang. Various media reports had previously linked the case to the recent closure of a North Korean restaurant in Danang, Vietnam. Analysis by Stephen Evans, BBC News, Seoul North Korea does not publicise how its restaurants outside the country operate but information can be gleaned by visitors and reports of previous defections. South Korean media say most of these restaurants are in China and run by local entrepreneurs, with the staff provided by Pyongyang. One opened and closed and re-opened in Amsterdam. North Korea denied it wanted to open one in Scotland. The restaurants serve traditional North Korean food and often have stylised pictures of picturesque North Korean mountain scenes but are devoid of overt propaganda. It is not clear what the staff are paid nor what they are allowed to keep after remitting money to Pyongyang. There have been previous defections from restaurants. In 2007, a restaurant in China was closed after a female employee was caught trying to defect. One mystery with the latest defections: why has China been so accommodating? It says the defectors had legitimate papers so there was no need to prevent them leaving the country but that would have been true in the past too. Is it a sign that China really does want to show its displeasure at Pyongyang where it hurts: in the coffers filled by remittances from North Korea's foreign workers? Some 29,000 North Koreans have fled the country since the Koreas were divided at the end of the war in the 1950s, many of them crossing the border into China. China's policy of detaining and returning defectors to North Korea, where they are likely to face torture or imprisonment, has often been criticised as a breach of its responsibilities under the refugee convention. On Monday, South Korea announced that a senior colonel who worked in North Korean intelligence-gathering had also defected last year. He is believed to be one of the most senior officials ever to leave. North Korea runs some 130 restaurants in other countries. The staff are usually chosen for their loyalty to the North Korean leadership. The restaurants provide a much-needed source of income for North Korea but South Korea says economic reasons and tightened international sanctions against the North mean many of the businesses are struggling. The effect, reported in Science, is similar to the action of muscles found in elephant trunks and squid tentacles. However, the yarns twist 1,000 times as much as previous "artificial muscles". The effect, which occurs thanks to a conducting fluid in which the yarns were dipped, could be put to use in motors much thinner than a human hair. The team of researchers from Australia, the US, Canada and South Korea demonstrated motors that could spin at nearly 600 revolutions per minute, turning a weight 2,000 times heavier than the yarn itself. Carbon nanotubes have only recently been identified by scientists; they are "straws" made only of atoms of carbon linked together in hexagons. They have remarkable physical properties - being more than 100 times stronger than steel. Ray Baughman of the University of Texas at Dallas is a renowned researcher into the tubes' properties, and is a co-author of the new research. "The carbon nanotube yarns comprise individual nanotubes - untold billions of them - that are about 1/100,000th the diameter of a human hair," he told the podcast of Science magazine. The yarns were made by pulling sheets of nanotubes from "forests" of the tubes and twisting them to form a coiled structure - much as yarn is made from wool. They were then dipped in an electrolyte - a fluid containing ions, electrically charged atoms. When a voltage was applied at the ends of the yarns, these ions moved into the fibres, causing them to expand. Because of their coiled shape, this expansion led to them "doing the twist". "The torque that we can generate per mass of the yarn is comparable to that of very large electric motors," said Prof Baughman. "But as you down-size electric motors you dramatically decrease... the torque capabilities per weight, and make the motors very expensive." He said that motors made from the yarns would find use in what is known as microfluidics, "for chemical 'labs on a chip' that can be used for analysis of chemicals, or for sensing". "Often you want to control the movement of fluids, you want to pump them from one place to another or turn off one flow and open up another, and the carbon nanotube muscles because of their very small size seem very suitable for this type of application." Nomura Securities said it also bought about $100m worth of the bonds last week, according to Reuters reports. Goldman Sachs has faced fierce criticism for its purchase of $2.8bn worth of similar bonds. Opposition leader Julio Borges accused Goldman of "aiding and abetting the country's dictatorial regime". Venezuela's government, led by President Nicolas Maduro, is desperately in need of financial support. He has also drawn international condemnation for abuses of power and human rights violations. His opponents say the purchase has given him a financial lifeline. Venezuela's oil-dependent economy, crippled by low oil prices, has been in recession for four years, and now faces shortages of food and medicine, with inflation thought to be about 800%. On Wednesday the country devalued its bolivar currency by 64%, from 721 to 2,010 bolivars to the dollar. However, on the black market the bolivar has sunk to about 6,000 to the dollar. In the last two months, there have been some 60 deaths among protestors demanding early elections, freedom for jailed activists and foreign humanitarian aid. Mr Maduro says the protests are a violent attempt at a coup and insists the country is the victim of an "economic war" supported by Washington. The bonds at the centre of the controversy were originally issued by Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), the state-run oil and natural gas company, in 2014. Both banks bought them at knock-down prices. Mr Borges, who is president of the country's opposition-run Congress, said Goldman had paid 31 cents on the dollar. Reuters reported that Nomura said its purchase had cost $30m. Goldman said its asset-management arm acquired the bonds "on the secondary market from a broker and did not interact with the Venezuelan government". "We recognise that the situation is complex and evolving and that Venezuela is in crisis. We agree that life there has to get better, and we made the investment in part because we believe it will," the investment bank added. Mr Borges said: "As hard as it may try, Goldman Sachs ... cannot put lipstick on this pig of a deal for Venezuelans," Venezuela's opposition-controlled National Assembly voted on Tuesday to ask the US Congress to investigate the Goldman deal, which they called immoral and opaque. Mr Borges said he would recommend that any future democratic government "not recognise or pay those bonds". A small group of protesters outside Goldman's New York headquarters held signs saying "Goldman Sachs Sucks!" and "Don't Support Venezuela's Hunger Bonds." Even at 31 cents on the dollar, Nomura is taking a risk buying the bonds. In November, its own head of Latin America fixed-income strategy, Siobhan Mordan, warned investors: "The bottom line for bondholders is not if, but when is the timing for debt default?" The speech, made up of an Autumn Statement and a Spending Review, included a significant change of tactics - by scrapping his recent plan to cut tax credits. He threw himself into some big challenges - not least with buy-to-let landlords who could face a tax rise. But what does it mean for the finances of spectators on the sidelines - the UK public? Tax credits are benefit payments for those on low incomes, aimed at topping up pay. They are the biggest welfare cost to the government apart from the state pension. In his summer Budget, Mr Osborne announced a plan for a £4.4bn cut to tax credits from April 2016. This meant cutting tax credits sooner and faster as a claimant's income rises. Having lost a key vote on the House of Lords, he promised to reconsider. He did so by scrapping the planned cuts. That means some low-income families who were expecting cuts in tax credit payments of up to £1,200 a year will no longer face that loss. He says he can do this because the state of the economy and the continued record low interest rates mean that he expects to have more money available than previously thought. No. Changes to the criteria of Universal Credit - a benefits system that sees tax credits and five other benefits merged into one in the next few years - were voted through recently and will also put a squeeze on some families making new claims. New claims for tax credits will be switched to Universal Credit from 2018. Groups such as the Resolution Foundation, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Citizens Advice say that by 2020, some families with children could be hit if parents are not working full-time. Plans to limit on tax credits for new claimants when they have more than two children remain. The rate of housing benefit in the social sector will also be capped at the same rate as is paid to those in the private rented sector, in order to make savings of £225m by 2020-21. This will apply to tenancies signed from April and affect housing benefit from April 2018 onwards. Money will be spent to encourage house builders to construct starter homes. These will be offered at a 20% discount on prices up to £450,000 in London and £250,000 elsewhere. The policy was first announced in October 2014. There will also be investment in a shared ownership scheme, reduced rent for those saving for deposit, and specialist homes for the elderly and those with a disability. The aim is to shift to aspirational home ownership, and help to reduce the housing benefit bill. There will also be a London Help to Buy scheme for those within the capital who can save a deposit of 5% of the value of the property they want to buy. They will be able to get an interest-free loan, for up to five years, worth up to 40% of the value of that home. Mr Osborne said that there was a crisis of home ownership among young people. A total of £1bn will be raised by 2021 owing to a change to stamp duty in England and Wales. A 3% surcharge on stamp duty when some buy-to-let properties and second homes are bought will be levied from April. This means it will add £5,520 of tax to be paid when buying the average £184,000 buy-to-let property. The new charge would have hit 160,000 buyers if it had applied last year. Commentators have already suggested this could hit the sector hard. This is the second big change to stamp duty, after reforms announced a year ago which affected the higher end of the property market. Councils which have responsibility for social care will be able to add 2% to council tax bills in a bid to provide up to £2bn for that care. Taxpayers will have to wait to see exactly how that affects them in pounds and pence when they receive their council tax bill. The state pension for existing pensioners will rise by 2.9%, or £3.35, to £119.30 a week from April, to match the rise in average earnings. This is the result of triple-lock pledge on pensions - a government promise for the next five years - which means the state pension rises each April to match the highest of inflation, earnings, or 2.5%. Next year is a significant one for new retirees as it is the start, from April, of the new "flat-rate" state pension, set at £155 a week. However, not everyone will get the full amount, such as some of those with a private or workplace pension provision. Some who have built up an additional state pension may get more. They have been protected from a lot of cuts by this government. However, the chancellor said that pension credit payments will be stopped for people who leave the country for more than one month. At present, pension credit is paid for up to 13 weeks while claimants are temporarily abroad. If they go overseas for medical treatment under the NHS, then it is paid for longer. The same new restriction for those going overseas will also apply to housing benefit. Graduates in England and Wales who started university on or after September 2012 will see their student loan repayment threshold frozen until April 2021, rather than rising in line with inflation. These graduates can earn up to £21,000 before making student loan repayments. Freezing the threshold could make repayments more expensive. Nursing students will no longer receive government bursaries. They will have to take out loans instead. We already know that a 1% cap on rises in public sector pay will be in place for the next four years. We also know a compulsory Living Wage - basically, a new minimum wage - will be paid to people aged 25 and over, starting in April 2016 at £7.20 an hour and reaching £9 an hour by 2020. The government had previously said it would give further support for childcare costs. The chancellor announced 30 hours of free childcare for three and four-year-olds will be available from 2017 in England, but only to parents working more than 16 hours and who each earn £100,000 or less. Many parents already get a free 15 hours of childcare for three and four-year-olds. The chancellor announced a plan to end the right to cash compensation following crashes on the roads. This, he says, will make it harder for people to get compensation for exaggerated or fraudulent whiplash claims. Should the insurance industry pass on these savings, then motor insurance premiums could fall. Presented by Chancellor George Osborne, the Spending Review sets out what government spending will be over the next four years, while the Autumn Statement is an annual update of government plans for the economy. Special report: Full in-depth coverage of the Spending Review and Autumn Statement Documents: Link to full Autumn Statement and Spending Review documents via HM Treasury Watch: The BBC's TV coverage begins on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel at 11:30 GMT, with BBC Radio 5 Live coverage from 11:55 GMT The local authority spent £2m on fuel for its fleet between April and December last year, its audit and scrutiny committee has heard. Reducing the chances of workers making personal use of vehicles is seen as a way of helping to cut the fuel bill. Councillor Richard Laird said only "a small minority" of staff were involved. However, Mr Laird, who is the audit committee's chairman, welcomed the council's decision to install tracking devices on all its vehicles. He told BBC Alba: "There is anecdotal evidence that a handful, or a small minority, of council staff are maybe using their council vehicle for domestic purposes. "At the moment it is only the heavy fleet that gets tracked and the bulk of the council's fleet is a light fleet." Tracking is now to be rolled out across the light fleet so that movements of all the council's vehicles can be checked. Speaking at the party's economic conference in Glasgow, John McDonnell described the government's austerity measures as "criminally destructive". He also said Labour would hold a summit next month on helping self-employed workers who face a rise in National Insurance, under new government plans. The formal process of Britain leaving the EU is expected to begin this week. Mr McDonnell said the Brexit vote had created "huge challenges" and warned that "crashing out of the EU" would mean Britain would be cut off from investment. "We will be cut off from our biggest trading partner. We will be cut off from the skills and contribution that EU nationals have made to our economy and society," he said. Calling for a "radically different approach", Mr McDonnell called not only for devolution in Scotland and Wales, but also for the English counties and regions, which he said should enjoy greater freedoms. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said it would be "absolutely fine" for Scotland to hold a second independence referendum. The shadow chancellor spoke of a "right to own", saying, under Labour, workers in a company facing a change of ownership would get first refusal on putting forward their own takeover plan. He also laid out his vision of giving "power back to the people" through letting local communities take control of their own energy supplies. The prime minister has set a deadline of 31 March for triggering article 50 of the Lisbon treaty which would start the formal process for Britain to leave the European Union. Mr McDonnell also further criticised Chancellor Philip Hammond's announcement of a rise in National Insurance (NI) for some self-employed workers, unveiled in last week's Spring Budget, saying it broke "a clear manifesto promise" not to raise taxes. He said Labour "had always been the party of workers, of artisans" and would produce a "radical" plan to deal with the growing number of people who work for themselves in the so-called gig economy where short-term contracts are common. He revealed that next month Labour will chair talks with unions, the self-employed and small businesses on how best to help self-employed workers, in the wake of the NI changes. "The Chancellor's decision to push a £2bn tax rise on low and middle-earner self employed made little sense. "You can't simply demand more taxes off people without offering something in return." A gig economy is an environment in which temporary positions are usual and organisations take out contracts with independent workers for short-term engagements. Mr Hammond has faced a backlash over his announcement of a 2% hike in Class 4 National Insurance contributions for some self-employed workers, which would mean 1.6 million people paying £240 more on average every year. The prime minister has said she remains "fully committed" to the NI changes and the independent think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies has backed the rise. "Zero hour for the liberation of Falluja has arrived. The moment of great victory has drawn near," he said, adding IS had "no choice but to flee". Both IS and Iraqi media have reported fighting and claimed there are casualties on both sides. Falluja was the first city to fall to IS in 2014. It also controls Mosul. The Iraqi government has urged civilians, estimated at between 60,000 and 90,000, to flee. The Iraqi military told state TV that those who could not leave should raise a white flag above their homes. Iraqi officials say corridors will be provided for civilians to make their way to camps outside the city. In the latest fighting, Iraqi TV said IS's "governor" in Falluja, Hejji Hamza, and some of his aides had been killed. Government-backed al-Iraqia TV spoke of more than 30 IS fighters being killed outside the city. Government forces are reported to have carried out air strikes and mortar attacks overnight. IS, via its self-styled Amaq news agency, said one of its suicide bombers had destroyed a tank and army bulldozer, killing 16 people. The military, police and volunteer fighters virtually surround the city, about 65 km (40 miles) west of Baghdad. The Baghdad-based pro-Kurdish news website Shafaq said on Sunday that close to 20,000 police troops had arrived on the outskirts of Falluja ahead of the expected assault. Islamic State group: The full story Islamic State crisis in seven charts IS militants launched a sweeping offensive in June 2014, overrunning large areas north and west of Baghdad. However, security forces and allied fighters have pushed the jihadists back with support from US-led air strikes. Iraq's military seized the nearby city of Ramadi from Islamic State in December. A former US ambassador to Iraq predicted the Falluja operation would take some time. "I think Haider al-Abadi has taken the advice of many of his American advisers, which was not to rush into this thing," Christopher Hill told BBC Radio 5 live. "So they're being very deliberate, very careful, and so I think there's some good reason for optimism that ultimately this will be successful." The Iraqi army, police and irregular forces virtually surround Falluja and have been heavily reinforced in preparation for an assault on several fronts that military sources say could last two or three weeks. That may be optimistic, given the many weeks it took earlier this year to take full control of Ramadi, another city further to the west. Falluja has been held by the militants of IS much longer, for nearly two-and-a-half years, and has withstood a massive battering by government shelling and bombing. But Iraqi military sources believe the number of militants there has been cut roughly in half and that the battle for Falluja will be a lot less tough than it was for Ramadi. A former US military adviser in Iraq, Michael Pregent, questioned the wisdom of urging civilians to raise white flags. "The problem with them [the Iraqi military] saying, 'raise a white flag so we don't shoot you' - IS is going to shoot them when they raise a white flag," he told BBC News. Should IS lose Falluja, it would leave the northern city of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, as its only Iraqi stronghold. It continues to hold large parts of territory in neighbouring Syria, though that too is shrinking. Last month, the United Nations and Human Rights Watch (HRW) warned civilians still living in Falluja were in danger of starvation. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) said stocks were dwindling as government forces trying to recapture the city had cut supply routes, and IS had stopped people from leaving. Some residents were eating grass to survive, HRW said. One report in Vox.com said that a 110lb (50kg) bag of flour, which costs about $7.50 in the US, had been sold for as much as $4,166 (£2,925; €3,650). Rashford, 18, played his first Manchester United game in February and has scored eight goals in 17 matches. "The amount of time we're going to have with him is very, very short," Hodgson, 68, said. Hodgson has until 31 May to name his final 23-man squad for Euro 2016, which starts in France on 10 June. Rashford scored twice on his Red Devils debut in the Europa League against FC Midtjylland after being drafted into the starting XI following an injury to Anthony Martial. He also found the net twice in a 3-2 win over Arsenal and became the youngest scorer in a Manchester derby in the Premier League era with his winner against City in March. England beat Turkey 2-1 on Sunday and have two more friendly matches - against Australia and Portugal on 2 June - before their first Euro 2016 Group B match against Russia on 11 June. Hodgson added: "There is no doubt I think I made the right decision putting him in this large group because the lad has enormous talent and you will know from my past record that I'm not afraid to give young players a chance. I don't dismiss them on the basis of their age. "But you will also know full well that where he is playing we actually have a lot of competition for places and there isn't an awful lot of chance for him to stamp his authority on myself and the coaching staff, because there is such a short period of time."

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere played 66 minutes in the victory over Turkey, despite starting just once for Arsenal all season having suffered a broken leg in September. "With Arsenal I've been playing out wide, which is not me," Wilshere, 24, said. "I'm not a wide man, but Roy seems to have faith in me in the middle, so I'm happy with that. I like to play anywhere in the middle. Meanwhile, Leicester striker Jamie Vardy ended the season with a Premier League winners' medal and scored 24 league goals in the club's remarkable campaign. The 29-year-old scored the winner against Turkey, but will miss the match against Australia because he is getting married on Wednesday. "It will be a very quiet night on Wednesday," Vardy said. "Obviously I hope all the guests have a good time but I will have a quiet one. "I've not got a curfew but at the end of the day I'm a professional and understand what has to be done, so I will be making sure I get plenty of sleep ready to come back in." The 22-year-old signed for the US outfit on a free transfer but Hearts have included a sell-on clause as part of the deal. Nicholson played 127 games for the Jambos, scoring 16 goals. "It was an easy decision after speaking with the coaching staff, everyone made me feel at home straight away," the Scot told United's website. Nicholson came through the Hearts youth set-up and made his debut in 2013. He also played eight times for Scotland Under-21s. Minnesota head coach Adrian Heath told the club website: "He's a player who can cut inside from either side of the pitch. "He's got two really good feet and he's got some goals in him, he can beat his man. It's not very often that you get the opportunity to bring in a player from Europe, who looks at MLS as a step up. We are delighted to have him and we think he will be a great addition to our squad." Heats confirmed on their website that they do not receive compensation for Nicholson. Muhiddin Mire, 30, admits attacking Lyle Zimmerman with a knife but denies attempted murder. The court heard that on 5 December he attacked mandolin-carrying Mr Zimmerman, 56, from behind and kicked him in the head and body. He then sawed at his neck with a knife. Prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC said it was fortunate that the knife handle had become detached from the blade which made it harder to cut into his neck. "Although he suffered three jagged wounds to the front of his neck, none of them caused any damage to any of the major blood vessels in that area." An off-duty junior doctor treated Mr Zimmerman. According to Mr Rees, Mr Mire also targeted a Polish man, Daniel Bielinski, swinging a knife at him. He praised Mr Bielinski's bravery for filming the defendant on his phone "at considerable risk to himself" in an effort to stop him from attacking others. In the footage, Mr Mire is shown lunging towards other Tube passengers. He told the jury that Mr Mire, who was born in Somalia and moved to Britain as a boy, suffered from mental illness and had experienced delusions going back as far as 2006. He stopped working as a taxi driver and a month before the attack his GP referred him to mental health services as he had again been experiencing paranoid delusions that he was being followed by members of the security services. He was given an appointment, but did not turn up. Mr Mire has pleaded guilty to wounding Mr Zimmerman with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and to attempting to wound four other Tube passengers. He denies attempted murder. The trial continues. Chasing 207 to make England bat again, India raced to 86-0 at lunch. But Graeme Swann bowled Virender Sehwag to spark a collapse in which India lost six wickets for 36 runs. The tourists looked certain to wrap up an innings win, only for Ravichandran Ashwin (83) to steer India to 239-9 at the close, a slender lead of 32 runs. "This is not the Indian team I know. Usually their batsman are difficult to get out, they make big totals, but we're knocking them over! And in the end, their batsman have to be up for a fight. They're giving their wickets away. They're so down, you'd have to put a bit of money on England winning in Nagpur." Ashwin's superb cameo, which featured partnerships of 38 with Ishant Sharma and and an unbroken 42 with Pragyan Ojha, spared India the ignominy of an innings defeat and took the match into a fifth day to the delight of a raucous home crowd. But England will be confident of finishing the job on Sunday to take a 2-1 lead in the series with one match to play. A day of fluctuating fortunes hinged on a single delivery as Graeme Swann got the first ball after lunch to rip between Sehwag's bat and pad and cannon into his off stump. The dismissal stopped India in their tracks and gave England the opportunity to reassert the supremacy they had enjoyed for the first three days of the Test. Cheteshwar Pujara, who scored a double hundred and a century in the first two Tests, was the next to fall as Ian Bell capitalised on a mix-up with Gautam Gambhir to throw down the stumps from midwicket. Gambhir survived an appeal for a slip catch from the next delivery when the third umpire established the ball had not struck his bat but was out for 40 in the following over as a waft at Steven Finn was snaffled by Matt Prior. Sachin Tendulkar's disappointing series continued as he edged a ball from Swann that did not turn before Yuvraj Singh was clean bowled by one from James Anderson that kept low. Captain Mahendra Dhoni was caught behind for a duck off the same bowler to round off a thrilling passage of play. After a brief pre-tea lull, Finn produced an away-swinger to have Virat Kohli caught behind for 20 and trapped Zaheer on the back foot right in front of his stumps. With India still 48 runs in arrears with only two wickets in hand, England appeared primed for their first innings victory in India since 1976, but Ashwin had other ideas. Expertly farming the strike and surviving a fumbled stumping chance by Prior, he belied his position at number eight with an increasingly authoritative innings. Panesar bowled Sharma to leave India nine down and 10 runs behind, but Ashwin attacked the new ball to ensure England's work is not quite done. The tourists had earlier failed to build on their overnight position of 509-6 as India enjoyed a near-perfect opening session. Swann nicked his first ball of the day to slip and Prior was caught behind trying to run Zaheer down to third man. Anderson edged Ashwin to Sehwag at slip for nine and when Panesar was harshly adjudged lbw from the next delivery England had lost their last four wickets for 14 in 25 minutes. "The combination of a clever piece of bowling by Graeme Swann and a lazy shot from Virender Sehwag turned the day on its head and from then on the performance of the rest of India's frontline batsmen lacked any heart. They really didn't look as if they were up for a fight and that is something the India selectors are going to have to look at going into the next Test, which the hosts will almost certainly have to win." Read the rest of Jonathan's column India carried the momentum into their batting performance as Sehwag sprinted to 49 off 56 balls and Gambhir smashed Panesar for a six and four in the last over before lunch to leave the hosts only 121 runs behind with all 10 wickets intact. But Swann's removal of Sehwag swung the balance and set England on course for a win that would leave them needing only a draw in the fourth Test in Nagpur for a first series victory in India since 1985. Listen to Jonathan Agnew and Geoffrey Boycott's analysis of the day's play on the Test Match Special podcast. We are using archive pictures for this Test because several photo agencies, including Getty Images, have been barred from the ground following a dispute with the Board of Control for Cricket in India, while other agencies have withdrawn their photographers in protest. People should "trust their instincts" and "believe in the process", he said. People can register online or visit their local town hall offices to fill in a paper form, although it is too late post a paper registration form. The Electoral Commission said 1.8m applications to register have been made in the past five weeks, mostly online. Of those who have signed up since 16 March, 569,771 of those were 16 to 24-year-olds. The 120,000 people on 19 April was the most in a single day so far. There were 110,000 applications on 16 April, the day the BBC aired the debate with opposition leaders. The majority of those website visits were made after host David Dimbleby mentioned registration at the close of the programme. The day with the next highest number of online applications was 30 March, which was the start of the official general election campaign period and the dissolution of Parliament. Has the number of voters fallen? On Friday, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published figures for the number of people registered to vote in parliamentary elections. It turns out that as of December 2014, there were 45,325,100 people registered to vote in the UK, which was down 1.8% on the previous year. There are two reasons why this figure may not give the full picture. Read Anthony Reuben's full blog Despite this, it is estimated there could still be as many as 7.5 million unregistered voters among the 45 million people eligible to vote. Electoral Commission chairwoman Jenny Watson said: "It takes just a few minutes to apply to register online, so do it now. "We don't want anyone to miss out, but if you miss the deadline on 20 April and then try to vote you will be turned away from the polling station on election day. Make sure this doesn't happen to you." Politicians including Nigel Farage and Natalie Bennett have been reminding their Twitter followers to register in time. Ed Miliband tweeted: "Your vote on 7 May can help change Britain. But you need to make sure you're registered before midnight tonight." Comedian Russell Brand has questioned the value of having a vote, arguing that it changes little in a political system dominated by like-minded elites and urging people to use other means - including direct action - to try and get things done. This view has been challenged by other public figures, including actor Michael Sheen, satirist Armando Iannucci and comedian and Labour activist Eddie Izzard, who have urged people to register to make their voice heard. Christopher Eccleston, who played the title role in Doctor Who's comeback series in 2005, said first-time voters must "trust their own instincts and listen to their own heart". "There are people that are worth voting for" he told BBC Radio 5Live's Afternoon Edition. "I've been disappointed by all the parties through a 51-year old life but I still believe in the process. I still have hope." Campaign groups have been working to persuade ethnic minorities, disabled people and young people to register. Rachael Harrington, from Voting Counts, said too often young people did not see the link between party politics and issues affecting their lives and even those who "did not agree with the system" should register and cast a vote. "Go and speak to your local candidates," she urged. "If you decide you don't agree with them, just go and spoil your ballot or blank vote. Just staying at home makes you another statistic of people who don't care." Professor Ed Fieldhouse from the University of Manchester, told BBC Radio 5Live Breakfast that young people had traditionally been among the hardest to reach, with the older and better off more likely to register. "You do find there is a connection with social class," he said. "People who are unemployed or in disadvantaged economic positions are less likely to turn out to vote." The UK general election takes place on 7 May. Local government elections are taking place across England - excluding London - on the same day. A number of mayoral elections are also taking place. As registration records are managed on a constituency basis, it will not be known how many people signed up to vote until after the election. The last general election in 2010 saw a voter turnout of 65.1% across the UK, an increase on the two previous elections in 2005 and 2001 when turnout was 61.4% and 59.4% respectively. The 2001 election was the first time since World War Two that turnout had fallen below 70%.

Berkshire Hathaway said net profit rose 29% to $5.05bn (£3.2bn) in the three months to September from the same period last year. This was mainly down to its investments at the peak of the financial crisis in General Electric and Goldman Sachs, boosting it by $1.2bn. Berkshire's revenue grew 13% to $46.5bn. In October 2008, Berkshire purchased warrants in GE and Goldman. Warrants are derivatives that allow the holder to buy shares or other assets from the issuer at a fixed price within a set period. For example, Berkshire invested $5bn in Goldman at 10% interest and had the right to buy a further 43.5 million shares for $115 per share - less than Goldman is currently trading - on 1 October. Berkshire exercised that right and has become a top-10 shareholder in the bank. Berkshire owns about 80 companies including railway, clothing, furniture and jewellery firms, with its insurance and utility businesses typically accounting for more than half of the company's net income. It also has major investment stakes in companies such as Coca-Cola, the banking group Wells Fargo, and the computer maker IBM. Earlier this year, ketchup-maker Heinz was bought for $28bn by Berkshire and Brazilian investment fund 3G Capital. Mr Buffett is one of the world's richest men. Haroon Aswat, 41, from Batley, West Yorkshire, pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in New York in March. He admitted conspiring with radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri to set up a camp 15 years ago in Oregon. District judge Katherine Forrest said Aswat, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, would be returned to the UK on completion of his sentence. Aswat had also pleaded guilty to one count of "providing material support to al-Qaeda". The court heard he spent six weeks in Seattle and Oregon in 2000 as part of a plot to set up a training camp for al-Qaeda recruits, who wanted to fight in Afghanistan. He had been under orders from Abu Hamza, who was sentenced to life in prison in January for a series of terrorism offences. Speaking after the sentencing, Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin said: "Aswat was arrested more than 10 years ago, and his sentence is the result of the tireless and persistent efforts of law enforcement to hold accountable all those who wish to harm the United States, whether at home or abroad, no matter how long it takes." Aswat was arrested by UK authorities in 2005 at RAF Northolt, and three years later he was transferred from prison to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital. He fought extradition for several years, with the European Court of Human Rights ruling in September 2013 that he could not be extradited as his mental health could deteriorate. However, in September 2014 two High Court judges said they were satisfied he would receive satisfactory care in the US. He lost his final legal battle when in January 2015, when the European Court of Human Rights dismissed a case he brought against the UK government arguing his extradition rested on inadequate assurances from US officials about his treatment. Aswat's defence lawyer Peter Quijano told reporters he would be requesting his client's transfer to the UK to complete his sentence, and he hoped this would be approved by the Department of Justice. However, Nicol considers Ireland, Saturday's visitors to Murrayfield in the championship opener, to be "one of the form teams in world rugby". "They play a very basic game plan but Joe Schmidt is a just a fantastic coach, he's got them playing with intensity and physicality," Nicol said. "This is a huge task for Scotland." Media playback is not supported on this device Nicol thinks home advantage can play a part in Scotland registering an opening-day win for the first time since 2006, but a host of other factors make him think head coach Vern Cotter can enjoy a successful final Six Nations campaign. "It is really going to be a really close, physical game, probably determined by small factors," added Nicol. "If we can win those little ones, then I think we can win this tomorrow. "Every player will have to be playing close to their best but I think we can do that because the players have confidence in each other. "I think this is the best squad we've had since 1999 and it might even be a better squad because of the depth we've got in certain positions. "There's a lot of confidence, something like 34 of the players are in European knockout rugby. "They are playing well, the autumn Tests were good, the coaching team and players seem to be completely aligned and playing a game plan that they are very suited to. "All that suggests that we should have a good Six Nations and for me that means we should be aiming for three wins." Nicol points to Ireland's victory over the All Blacks last year as proof that they can challenge England for the Six Nations title. However, while he can understand the nerves in the Scotland camp this week about facing Ireland, he thinks that can be used to the players' advantage. He said: "The nerves for me came on match day and culminated five minutes before you ran out the changing room, when all the self-doubt comes in. Media playback is not supported on this device "But when you run out to the field of play suddenly there is no other place in the world you'd rather be. "A coach said to me that nerves focus the mind but anxiety dulls the mind. Nerves are good." Media playback is not supported on this device Miranda Rader, 19, rear-ended the patrol vehicle while sending nude photos to her boyfriend through the social media app Snapchat, police say. The accident on Wednesday in Bryan, about 100 miles (160km) north of Houston, caused the airbag to deploy. The Texas A&M University student also had an open bottle of wine in a cup holder by her, according to police. No one was injured in the incident. The officer whose car had been hit approached Ms Rader to find she had an "unclasped brassiere" and was trying to put on her blouse, police said. The freshman told the officer that she had been driving back to her residence on campus. The arresting officer wrote in an affidavit: "I asked her why she was not dressed while driving and she stated she was taking a Snapchat photo to send to her boyfriend while she was at a red light." She was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and released from jail on Thursday morning on a $2,000 (£1,600) bail bond, police said.

The hosts may well have had a penalty when Reid was wrestled to the ground by Javier Manquillo early on. Dimitri Payet then drew a smart save from Sunderland keeper Jordan Pickford before firing a low strike against the post after some clever footwork on the edge of the box. Wahbi Khazri had the visitors' best chance after Steven Pienaar's deflected pass put him through on goal, but his tame shot was easily saved by Adrian. Sunderland must have thought they had earned a point, but Reid turned smartly on the edge of the box from a West Ham corner to fire left-footed past Pickford. It leaves David Moyes' side bottom of the Premier League with just two points from their first nine games this season. West Ham's tricky start to life at the London Stadium has been well documented, with Slaven Bilic's side only picking up four points from four Premier League games at their new ground before Sunderland's visit. Payet's wonder goal salvaged a point against Middlesbrough last time out in east London and eased some of the frustration the home fans have expressed since their move from the Boleyn Ground. Those claret and blue-clad supporters were growing restless as the Hammers looked to have been held by the division's bottom side, despite dominating in the first half. Moyes and Sunderland looked content to return home with a point as the former Everton and Manchester United boss threw on defensive reinforcements and watched his side drop deep into their own territory. But it was a moment of hesitation deep into injury time that caught the visitors out, as a short corner from West Ham was worked to Reid and his effort snuck through a maul of bodies in the box. Bilic opted to start with three central defenders as the Hammers recorded only their second win of the season at Crystal Palace last week, but the hosts were missing suspended left wing-back Aaron Cresswell, influential to that system, against Sunderland. The Croat stuck with a back three in Cresswell's absence, handing Edimilson Fernandes a first Premier League start, and the 20-year-old Swiss looked an adept attacking threat, managing four shots on goal and making a key pass for the hosts. On the other flank was Michail Antonio, the club's top scorer this season, and his pace and energy caused problems for the visitors with the England hopeful managing six crosses, as did his second-half replacement Sofiane Feghouli. Despite the ammunition, summer singing Simone Zaza was unable to open his West Ham account, though the Italy forward did watch an acrobatic overhead kick drop narrowly wide of Pickford's far post before the break. Sunderland have staged miraculous escape acts in recent seasons, but with just six goals and two points to show for his tenure so far, Moyes needs his side's fortunes to change quickly if they are to repeat that trick. They are now only the second team in top-flight history to fail to win any of their opening nine league games in consecutive seasons, with Bury the other in 1905 and 1906. Jermain Defoe's 15 goals played a big part in the Black Cats' successful survival bid last term, and the former England international has scored four of his side's six goals so far this season. But the 34-year-old touched the ball just once inside the opposition box in the first half against his old side at the London Stadium and cut an isolated figure. Moyes, who got the backing of Sunderland chief executive Martin Bain this week, sent his team out with more intent early in the second half with Khazri and Duncan Watmore posing more of a threat, though to no avail. Media playback is not supported on this device Sunderland manager David Moyes: "It was offside. It should be given offside. The referee thinks it is onside. "You can tell by the referee's movement to the linesman that he is not sure, they weren't sure but it was not a goal. "I thought the players played well. Not in the opening 20 minutes, they bossed us but we got through it and had good chances. I am very pleased with the performance but not the result." Media playback is not supported on this device West Ham manager Slaven Bilic speaking to BBC Sport: "It was a dramatic end. The first 25 minutes it was by far our best 25 minutes, including last season. "We were good, sharp, created chances and we deserved to be two up. Then they came back. And in the second half they had great chances and were dangerous on the counter attack but in the last 15 minutes we pushed more and we were looking to score. "I cannot say it was a goal from the training ground. You expect Winston Reid to score a header but it was a great decision to come in on the edge of the box." Former England midfielder Danny Murphy: "David Moyes thought the winner should have been ruled out for offside - and it was tight. But ultimately if you're conceding lots of goals late in games, you have got a problem. "Players switched off and were not concentrating. As Winston Reid hits it, you can see Jonathan Calleri is in line with Jack Rodwell. It's an inch or two inches but it's not a bad decision. I think the assistant referee has done well." West Ham are back at the London Stadium in EFL Cup action on Wednesday, when they host rivals Chelsea. Slaven Bilic's side then visit Everton in the Premier League for the 13:30 BST kick-off on Sunday. Sunderland go to Southampton in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, before Arsenal visit the Stadium of Light in the Premier League's early kick-off on Saturday. Match ends, West Ham United 1, Sunderland 0.

Steve Diamond's side completed a double over Leicester last season. Tom Brady replaces injured JP Pietersen and starts on his Leicester debut against the side he left in the summer. George McGuigan starts at hooker, with captain Tom Youngs dropping to the bench alongside prop Logovi'i Mulipola, who is set to make his debut. With Youngs among the replacements, lock Ed Slater takes over as captain. Dan Cole, Mike Williams and Ben Youngs - Leicester's three uninjured players who were named in Eddie Jones' 37-man training England squad ahead of the autumn Tests - are set to start for the Tigers at the AJ Bell Stadium. Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond told BBC Sport: "They're a good side as we know, a top-four team so we've got to be at our very best to challenge. "We've been a bit inconsistent to be honest but we're probably no further away than we were the same time last year. "We lost at home to Gloucester which we don't do very often and it has hurt us a little bit." Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill told BBC Leicester: "We have the same approach this week. I don't think anything has to change - we can tweak our strategy for each team that we play. "What set us apart at the weekend (beating Bath 34-14) was our physicality, our mindset, our passion and emotion around the game, which is hard to bring every week. "We have to make sure that the players that take the field know their responsibilities playing for Leicester." Sale Sharks: McGuigan; Edwards, Addison, Leota, Odogwu; MacGinty, Phillips; Harrison, Briggs, Longbottom, Evans, Mills, Neild, Seymour, Beaumont (capt). Replacements: Lewis-Roberts, Aulika, Ostrikov, Pearce, Mitchell, Mugford, Bedlow. Leicester Tigers: Veauinu; Thompstone, Betham, Tait, Brady; Williams, Youngs; Genge, McGuigan, Cole; Slater (capt), Fitzgerald, Williams, O'Connor, McCaffrey. Replacements: Youngs, Mulipola, Bateman, Barrow, Kitchener, Kitto, Burns, Smith.

Sale Sharks have made two changes with Mike Phillips replacing the injured Peter Stringer at scrum-half and Ross Harrison coming into the front row.

It flagged the matter after discovering that an image involving a young girl had been allegedly saved to the man's OneDrive cloud storage account. According to court documents, the man was subsequently detected trying to send two illegal pictures via one of Microsoft's live.com email accounts. Police arrested him on 31 July. The man, in his twenties, has since been placed in a county correctional facility and has yet to enter a plea. A preliminary court appearance is scheduled for next week. A copy of the affidavit detailing the case against the defendant has been published online by a news site specialising in leaked law enforcement documents. It claims that the man acknowledged acquiring the pictures through Kik Messenger, a chat app, as well as "trading and receiving images of child pornography on his mobile cellular device". The BBC spoke to one of the officers involved, Trooper Christopher Hill from the Pennsylvania State Police, who confirmed the affidavit was genuine and that Microsoft had instigated the investigation. But he said he could not discuss any of the case's specifics because it was still an "open investigation". He did, however, add that he was aware of other instances of "internet carriers" passing on similar details in other inquiries. The details have emerged a week after it was first reported that Google had handed over the identity of a Texas-based user after detecting suspected child abuse imagery in his Gmail account. The 41-year-old was arrested as a consequence of Google's action. The cases highlight the fact that commonly-used internet services are not private. One campaign group said tech firms must be explicit about how they monitor users' accounts. "Microsoft must do all that it can to inform users about what proactive action it takes to monitor and analyse messages for illegal content, including details of what sorts of illegal activity may be targeted," commented Emma Carr, acting director of the campaign group Big Brother Watch. "It is also important that all companies who monitor messages in this way are very clear about what procedures and safeguards are in place to ensure that people are not wrongly criminalised, for instance, when potentially illegal content is shared but has been done so legitimately in the context of reporting or research." Microsoft's terms and conditions for its US users explicitly state that it has the right to deploy "automated technologies to detect child pornography or abusive behaviour that might harm the system, our customers, or others". Neither Google nor Microsoft handed over the material directly to the police. Instead both companies contacted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's CyberTipline, which serves as the US's centralised reporting system for suspected child sexual exploitation. Microsoft has openly discussed its use of image-processing software to detect suspected paedophiles in the past, including an interview with the BBC in 2012. Following the most recent case, Mark Lamb from the company's Digital Crimes Unit released a statement. "Child pornography violates the law as well as our terms of service, which makes clear that we use automated technologies to detect abusive behaviour that may harm our customers or others," he wrote. "In 2009, we helped develop PhotoDNA, a technology to disrupt the spread of exploitative images of children, which we report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children as required by law." PhotoDNA creates a unique signature for each image, similar to a fingerprint, to help pictures be matched. This is done by converting the picture into black-and-white, resizing it and breaking it into a grid. Each grid cell is then analysed to create a histogram describing how the colours change in intensity within it, and the information obtained becomes its "DNA". The technique means that if a copy of a flagged photo appears in one of Microsoft's user's accounts, the firm can be alerted to the fact without its staff having to look at the picture involved. Because the amount of data involved in the "DNA" is small, Microsoft can process and compare images relatively quickly. "[It] allows us to find the needle in the haystack," says promotional material for the software. Google also uses PhotoDNA, alongside its own in-house technologies, to detect child abuse images, In addition, the software is used by Facebook and Twitter, among others. Penarth Road in Grangetown shut at its junction with Corporation Road and Clare Road following a collision between the two vehicles. The mail van then crashed into a nearby building. The two people in the police car were taken to hospital. The road was shut for nearly six hours while recovery operations took place. South Wales Police said the two people were treated for injuries which were not life-threatening. The collision happened shortly after 03.30 BST. Buses were diverted along Avondale Road and Clare Road at the One Stop shop to avoid the closure. A Royal Mail spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a Royal Mail vehicle was involved in a road traffic accident this morning at 3.40am near the junction with Clare Road and Penarth Road, Cardiff. "The male driver was shaken up, but thankfully not seriously injured." Many streets leading into the city centre were shut from 18:05 GMT on Friday before the 20:05 kick off, with buses diverted. Stop-start traffic reported on the M4 westbound between junctions 23 (M48) and 25A at Newport has now eased. Arriva Trains Wales put on 10,000 extra seats but warned services would be busy.

He told the BBC: "For the Six Nations they [Wales] have started strongly, they need to continue. "Warren [Gatland] has brought the team together and there's a real strength and unity to that team." The Duke of Cambridge, who is vice royal patron of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), attended a reception with players supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, which pays for adapted vehicles and wheelchairs and offers pastoral care. People travelling to the game by train had been advised to arrive at least three hours before kick off and to be aware of a new queuing system in place to deal with the 40,000 passengers expected to pass through Cardiff Central. Bus services which normally terminate in the city centre will relocate to either Churchill Way for the east, Greyfriars Road for the north or Tudor Street for the west. All roads were expected to reopen at 23:05. A bomb squad was called to Wingfield Road, Trowbridge, after the bottles - thought to contain "old military flares" - were unearthed. People living near the building site - opposite an entrance to John of Gaunt School - have been told to leave their homes or stay indoors. The fire service said it was unsure exactly what chemicals were involved. More on this and other top stories from across the West "We're dealing with an unknown hazard and have called the military who have more experience", a spokesman said. The Army team is expected to detonate the devices before 20:30 GMT. Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue said a large amount of smoke would be generated and people living in the immediate area should keep their windows and doors shut. Their new study models how the polar south will react if greenhouse gases rise at a medium to high rate. The most likely outcome is an input of about 10cm to global waters by 2100. But the prospect of a 30cm-or-more contribution - claimed by some previous research - has just a one-in-20 chance. The latest work, which appears in the journal Nature, was led by Catherine Ritz from the Université Grenoble Alpes, France, and Tamsin Edwards, from the Open University, UK. It incorporates a lot of real-world physics - knowledge about the shape of the continent's bedrock and how the ice moves over it. It is also strongly anchored by the satellite observations that are tracking changes on the continent today. These have seen some fairly pronounced thinning and retreat of ocean-terminating glaciers in the west of the continent - a region known as the Amundsen Sea embayment. The glaciers here are said to be unstable and in "irreversible" decline. "With our model we have done some 3,000 simulations," explained Dr Edwards. "People have done multiple simulations before, but what they haven't then done is see how well they compare with the present day, and put that into re-weighting the predictions. "So, we take those 3,000 runs and compare them to what's happening now in the Amundsen Sea, and if any look as though they are going too fast or too slow, we give them a lower weight in the future. "We're constraining the model with the observations. Nobody has really done this sort of formal scoring before." This results in projections for a warming climate where the most likely outcome by 2100 is a contribution to global sea level of roughly 10cm. This is in close agreement with the most recent science assessment (2013) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Where the new study really differs, however, is in its marking down of the high impact, low probability outcomes - the possibility that runaway collapse from an unstable Antarctica could add half a metre, even a metre, to sea-level rise by the end of this century. "In our study - those just aren't plausible," Dr Edwards told BBC News. "The bed of Antarctica is so important for what the ice sheet is doing, and there are parts of it that are just too bumpy and rough or are not sloping in a way that will allow for anything to happen too quickly. "That's not to say that if things kept going for a few hundred or a thousand years you couldn't get that kind of dramatic collapse - but we don't think on the timeframe of a couple of hundred years that the ice can respond that fast." The Franco-British team's study only concerns itself with the Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise. There would of course be separate and additional inputs from Greenland and other ice stores, and from the general expansion of waters in the warming oceans. The IPCC assessment gave a range between 42cm and 80cm for this total, with a central estimate of about 60cm, for the same medium-to-high emissions scenario, known in the jargon as "A1B". The satellite information used in the modelling paper comes from a 20-year collation of data known as the IMBIE project. Its leader, Andrew Shepherd from Leeds University, UK, commented: "This new study is the first prediction of future ice losses to really take today's changes into account. Because of this, we can be more confident in their findings. "Using the very best satellite measurements as a benchmark, Ritz and colleagues show that there is an outside chance that Antarctica could contribute 30cm to sea levels over the next century - substantially more than was anticipated at the time of the last IPCC report. "So although extreme ice losses are an unlikely prospect, there is no reason to be complacent about the impacts of climate change on our lifestyles," he told BBC News.

It ended a 20-year conflict that will be depicted at the exhibition to include a commemorative medal, soldiers' diaries and newspaper archives. The museum will tell the stories of local men who fought in the battle plus the wider contribution the area's ironworks are believed to have made through supplying cannon to allied troops. Mike Tanner, vice chairman of Pontypool museum, said volunteer researchers spent months looking through newspaper archives to find out about more than a dozen soldiers whose stories had not been told for generations. "What's amazed me is that some of the families followed their husbands to Waterloo and some of the wives and children were actually on the battlefield," Mr Tanner said. "We've found a case of a local lady who was heavily pregnant, who went to find her husband who was wounded on the battle field. "He'd lost his arms but survived, then she was injured and survived, so part of their daughter's name was 'Waterloo'." Simon Allen, a re-enactment volunteer with the 23rd Royal Welch Fusiliers Regiment of Foot, who will be featured in the exhibition, said many people were unaware of how intense the battle was. He said: "It's known by most people - the Duke of Wellington, the Battle of Waterloo - there's so many things named after it. "Some people can remember the second war, quite a horrendous time, but this [Waterloo] ended more than 20 years of fighting." The exhibition opens on 1 May and runs throughout the summer. Eleanor Payne and Samantha Lake, 19, and Daniel Greenwood, 22 died when their tour bus skidded and overturned near Nelspruit, Mpumalanga. They were among a group of students and teachers from Brooksby Melton College in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. After the hearing their families said the condition of the bus as an "accident waiting to happen". Previously, tour guide Trevor Dearlove denied failing to tell the passengers to wear seat belts and the bus driver was cleared of culpable murder. The three-day inquest at Loughborough Coroner's Court heard the group, who were studying for a degree in animal management and welfare, were on their way from Swaziland to visit a chimpanzee sanctuary. Students who survived the crash, told the hearing their guide did not tell them to wear seat belts and encouraged them to take in their surroundings. The court heard that as the bus came down a steep hill at speed, it had no way of slowing down because the vehicle brakes had burnt out. The coroner said while the families were critical of the bus, its condition did not contribute to the crash. Coroner Robert Chapman, recorded all three died as a result of the road traffic accident. A statement from the families read by Rob Greenwood, criticised the vehicle. "The fact is, that if this vehicle had not been issued with a road worthy certificate, it would not have been allowed on the road and the accident could not have happened," he said. "This vehicle was a tragedy waiting to happen." He described the students as "creative, loving and clever people at the start of promising careers and lively adventurous lives". The crash happened on South Gyle Broadway at 09:55. The road is closed. Police Scotland is appealing for witnesses. A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Three male patients were taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. "We dispatched three ambulances and a paramedic response unit to the scene." But many predicted that digital technology would have killed off the lecture by now. Why would you want to sit through someone telling you something, when so much more information is available at your fingertips whenever you want it? But when you look at some online courses, instead of revolutionising higher education, they have often simply transported the classic lecture format to an internet audience. So why has the lecture refused to go away? It's not because it's particularly effective. Research shows that students remember as little as 10% of their lectures just days afterwards. A Harvard study in 2014 found that, on average, attendance at lectures falls from 79% at the start of term to 43% at the end. And studies suggest other forms of teaching are much more effective in improving exam results and attendance. Professor Dan Butin, founding dean of the school of education and social policy at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, says the lecture has survived because research, not teaching, determines the success of a university and its academics. Academics are hired and promoted based on their research record, and research output plays a large role in universities' rankings in global league tables. So there is little incentive for academics to spend a lot of time rethinking the lecture. More stories from the BBC's Global education series looking at education from an international perspective, and how to get in touch. You can join the debate at the BBC's Family & Education News Facebook page. "We put these brilliantly educated academics in charge of classrooms because of their tremendous research records, not because they have any idea how to teach," says Prof Butin. "But in fact, research and teaching are very different skills, and creating a good course is just as difficult as writing a good book. "Academics put thousands of hours of work into their books and much less time into thinking about the effectiveness of their teaching style." A leading campaigner against traditional lectures is Professor Carl Wieman, a winner of the Nobel Prize for physics. He was converted more than a decade ago, when he was given a handheld electronic device for students to use in his lectures to indicate 'yes' or 'no' to a question. At the end of the lecture, he asked a question to which he had given the solution. To his dismay, only one in 10 students remembered the answer. He realised that talking at students and expecting them to absorb knowledge was not helping them to learn. So he replaced traditional lectures with "active learning", where he sets out a problem at the beginning of a lecture, divides students into small groups, and walks between them to listen to and guide their discussions. It seems to work - a study by Professor Scott Freeman of the University of Washington found that students' rate of failure was lower when they moved from lectures to active learning, and their exam results improved. Following a campaign by Professor Wieman and other physicists, Stanford, MIT and the University of British Columbia have introduced active learning into their physics courses. In fact, many universities have begun to experiment with such alternatives to the lecture. New coding colleges in Paris and California have ditched the lecture in favour of peer-to-peer learning and project-based learning, in which students work together on real-world projects like building a website or a computer game. Charles Knight, a lecturer in project management at Edge Hill University in Lancashire in the UK, has replaced lectures with interactive sessions in which students use project management software used by consultancy firms to manage their work. After seeing students' grades improve, the university is considering incorporating some of his ideas into other courses. Another practical reason for the lecture's durability is that it is a relatively cheap way of giving students contact time with an academic. There are alternative approaches but they usually come at a higher cost. MIT spent $2.5m (£2m) on refitting two lecture halls to allow students to sit around small tables with screens showing animated simulations to help them visualise concepts. Harvard used a $40m (£32m) donation to experiment with new forms of teaching, including active learning. But as the cost of tuition increases, more questions are being asked about whether lectures give students value for their money. A Higher Education Policy Institute survey in 2014 showed a third of students in England considered their degree "poor" or "very poor" value for money. Research from the US Department of Education found there is no difference between how effectively students learn from a lecture when it is delivered in a classroom or online. With the rise of "massive open online courses" (Moocs) and digital technologies, universities are coming under more pressure to offer students a learning experience that is not freely available online. Prof Butin hopes this will encourage more universities to adopt active, project-based, peer-to-peer, and community learning more widely. But having worked with many universities on how to support lecturers to use more active learning strategies, he thinks this will be a slow and difficult process. "Most universities may talk about the quality of their teaching, but such changes are much easier said than done," he says. "So for the foreseeable future, the lecture is here to stay." However doubts over lectures have a long history of their own - and lectures seemed to have been able to survive them. In the 1920s, a student in Canada wrote that his logic professor was "terribly dry in lectures" so "everybody skipped his class and went swimming during his lecture time". The figure comes from an exclusive online Newsbeat poll of 1,015 British teenagers, put together by Comres. The survey also indicates that a quarter feel happier online than they do in real life. But overall, real-life relationships are still considered far more important than online ones, according to the findings. Sixty-six per cent polled last month said the number of friends they knew in person was more important to them, compared to 28% who said the same of the number of friends and followers they had online. The survey also suggests what lots of people know already, that social media is now an integral part of teenagers' lives. Only one per cent of respondents said they never checked in online for social reasons. Facebook is the most popular social network (89% have an account), followed by Twitter (62%) and Snapchat (58%). Dr Emma Short, a psychologist at the University of Bedfordshire, said the number of teenagers meeting up with people they first befriended online is worrying. "Although we create and maintain our friendships online in a very real way, it is not safe to assume that strangers we meet online are anything other than strangers. "Even very sophisticated security experts find it very hard to verify the identity of accounts." "When you're 15 and you're very effective at identifying friends and risk, it's easy to assume you can do that online. It's not safe in that they may not be who they say they are and you know nothing about them apart from the conversation you've had online - which is a very small part of their lives and the person they may be." The survey also indicated: "I can't do without my phone." says 17-year-old Aisha from Clapton, north London. "I can't do without checking Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat." When we ask Aisha about the prospect of taking her social networks away, the consequences - genuinely - are too hard to bear. "If all my real friends are busy doing something, and then all my social media friends are doing their own thing, I've got no-one to be with. I'm not even tired, Hollyoaks isn't on, what am I going to do? I'm all alone." Jealousy, loneliness, happiness and stress are all emotions felt by teenagers. In Leicester, 16-year-old Frankie admits that her phone is rarely out of her hand, checking online regularly throughout the day but says she knows how to stay safe. "I wouldn't really add anyone or follow anyone that I don't know from someone else. "Someone followed me the other day. They had no followers - they had one picture. I didn't follow them back because I didn't know who they were. "I'm not going to go anywhere near that because they could be anyone and I wouldn't want to put myself in danger so I wouldn't choose to." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Simon Hamilton says the guidance will help clinicians when dealing with the most difficult cases. Northern Ireland's abortion law differs from the rest of the UK. Access to termination is only permitted if a woman's life is at risk or there is a permanent or serious risk to her mental or physical health. The long-awaited guidelines are aimed at providing clarification for medical staff on when a termination is legal. Mr Hamilton recognised that the issue was "an area of public policy where people hold differing views". He added: "My focus is on ensuring that health professionals who have to deal with extremely difficult cases have the clarity around the law that they have been asking me for." The lack of clarity on the issue has been a sticking point for decades, and clinicians have expressed fear that they could face prosecution for carrying out abortions, based on their interpretation of a permanent or serious risk to woman's mental or physical health. The publication of the latest set of abortion guidelines follows years of talks between the Department of Health, the Department of Justice and senior clinicians. It also comes after a series of legal challenges against the current law and a high-profile but unsuccessful campaign to legalise abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormality. A fatal foetal abnormality diagnosis means doctors believe an unborn child has a terminal condition and will die in the womb or shortly after birth. The campaign was led by Northern Ireland woman Sarah Ewart, who spoke out about her own experience of travelling to Great Britain for an abortion in 2013, after doctors told her she was carrying a baby with anencephaly, that had no chance of survival. Reacting to Thursday's development that the NI Executive had agreed that the guidelines are to be published, she said the new guidelines "may help some women, but it won't help me and other women with fatal foetal diagnoses". Ms Ewart lobbied politicians for more than two years on the issue but in February, Northern Ireland Assembly members voted against legalising abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormality. Breedagh Hughes of the Royal College of Midwives said she hopes that the guidance provides clarity for medical professionals. "They need a very clear exposition of what the law is and what the law says is legal," said Ms Hughes. "They need to know the legal context within which they are working. "Until the legislation is changed, midwives and medics are working with the legislation that stands and that is the legislation that must be outlined in the guidelines." Ms Hughes said a major concern for medical professionals is the rise in the numbers of women accessing abortion pills on the internet. Politicians also agreed on Thursday that the working group on abortion set up by Mr Hamilton will now include the Department of Justice. Mr Hamilton was asked to set up the working group last month by First Minister and Democratic Unionist Party leader Arlene Foster. On Friday, the minister indicated progress on the creation of the working group, saying he and Justice Minister David Ford both agree that "it should engage with healthcare professionals and those people directly affected by fatal foetal abnormality, and take account of recent consultation on the question of legislative change, as it goes about its important work". The Assembly Commission, which runs its day-to-day administration, suggests that moving to 100 AMs would add up to £17m to the current £50m budget. The commission said it would be "a modest and reasonable price to pay" for effective scrutiny of £15bn of public spending every year. The Welsh government has said there is "no appetite" for more politicians. Presiding Officer Rosemary Butler called for an increase to 80 AMs, in response to the additional powers and responsibility being devolved to Wales. "Assembly Members are thinly spread, especially in their committee work, and these pressures will only intensify as our legislative and fiscal responsibilities increase," she said. From April 2017, householders who apply and are accepted on Welsh Water's HelpU tariff will have bills capped at £190 per year. It follows a consultation on how the company's surplus should be used. The not-for-profit firm said it helps about 63,000 customers struggling with water bills, and plans to increase this to 100,000 or more by 2020. It comes on top of £340m going on capital projects this financial year and a £32m investment announced in June 2016 as a result of the company's not-for-profit ownership structure. Welsh Water said the average household bill for 2017-18 will be £439, compared to £437 in 2016-2017. Chief executive Chris Jones said: "Supporting our most vulnerable customers - along with pursuing those who could pay, but do not - benefits all our customers." It comes after a Malawian government spokesperson told news outlets the 58-year-old singer had appeared in court and had "filed an application expressing interest" to adopt. Madonna is currently in the African country, but said her visit was strictly for charity purposes. "The rumours of an adoption process are untrue," she said in a statement. "I am in Malawi to check on the children's hospital in Blantyre and my other work with Raising Malawi and then heading home." Court spokesman Mlenga Mvula had told news agencies earlier on Wednesday the singer had appeared in High Court, applying to adopt two children. "As a court, we adjourned the matter for a ruling (in the next two weeks). The court will either grant the adoption order or might not," he said. Madonna previously adopted two children from the African country: David Banda in 2006 and Mercy James in 2009. The star's relationship with Malawi dates back to 2006, when she established the Raising Malawi charity, with the goal of improving children's lives. She initially planned to build a $15m (£12m) girls' academy, but later changed strategy, and used the money to fund a number of schools. The charity also provides scholarships to female students, and is currently building the country's first paediatric intensive care unit at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, in Blantyre. Madonna visited the project last summer, and took David and Mercy to visit the orphanages where they lived before being adopted. The star has two other children - Lourdes and Rocco - from previous relationships. Last year saw her involved in a custody dispute over Rocco with ex-husband Guy Ritchie. She eventually lost the case, with the 16-year-old moving to London to live with his father. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents. If you have a story suggestion email [email protected]. It was the home of two of the four men who carried out the attacks in London, which killed 52 people and injured hundreds more. Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, and Shehzad Tanweer, 22, grew up in Beeston, while Hasib Mir Hussain, 19, lived in nearby Holbeck. The fourth bomber, Germaine Lindsay, came from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. As details of where they came from emerged, an international media frenzy descended on the area and journalists placed it under intense scrutiny in the following days and weeks. As the dust settled on the story, there was a fear Beeston's reputation would suffer irreparably and forever be tainted by the terror attacks. But behind the negativity - then and a decade on - is a community that has been working to better itself. In the wake of the London bombings, the world's media descended on Beeston. There were satellite trucks on every street corner. They blamed our community for the atrocity. Journalists, at least some of them, seemed to have written their story on the train up from London leaving a few gaps for names, dates and street names. They didn't try to find out about our community, they'd already made up their minds and found evidence to back up their version of the story. People in Beeston stood together. We held a vigil on Tempest Road, there was a trip to London to lay a wreath at Kings Cross and a peace march into Leeds city centre. We redoubled our efforts to work together across faith and ethnic lines. That spirit is exemplified on Beeston Festival day each June when thousands fill the local park to share music, food, and sport. Beeston is a busy, active place. There is an annual festival, the Asha Neighbourhood Project, a voluntary centre for women and their families and the Faith Together in Leeds 11 project, a partnership between Christian churches and Muslim organisations. In addition, there are youth clubs, a hiking group, music in the park events and neighbours who look out for each other. Community worker Ed Carlisle said: "I see a lot of small scale, grass root acts of kindness. "My street, for example, is a terraced cul-de-sac off Tempest Road with different ethnicities and there's a real inter-dependence. "We have an elderly couple who get a lot of support and recently there was another man who fell on hard times. We pulled together to get him a house and get it decorated. That kind of thing is really special." At the geographical heart is the Hamara Centre, which has grown from humble beginnings into a large ethnic minority voluntary organisation. Hamara stands out as a beacon within the Asian voluntary sector and its success has inspired other organisations. Its chief executive Hanif Malik said: "We were fearful 7/7 could impact negatively on community relations but in fact the very opposite happened. "There were lots of initiatives undertaken by us all to ensure levels of cohesion remained strong and I'm glad to say that's continued." However, community leaders admit Beeston is not without its problems. It has the same issues as any low-income, inner-city area. Mr Carlisle, who grew up in Kent but has lived in Beeston since 2002, said: "There are problems and conflicts, but that happens anywhere. "People aren't overly wealthy so they can't buy their independence from one another. The streets are tightly packed together, so that tends to lead to greater reliance on neighbours. "There are people who say they can't wait to get out of Beeston, but for every one of them is another who says they've been here for years and never want to leave. "Personally it's the friendliest place I've ever lived. So many residents are proud to call it home and that is priceless." Police have vowed to take swift action against those responsible, amid workers' claims of poor health and safety standards. "Definitely there will be charges here, because people died," acting national police chief Leonardo Espina said. Police say the fire started when sparks from welding work ignited flammable chemicals near the building's entrance. The Philippines has lax safety standards and large fires are relatively common, particularly in slum areas. Wednesday's fire spread quickly and a few people escaped. Many more were trapped on the second floor of the building, where, according to survivors, iron grills on windows prevented their escape. Most of the victims are thought to have suffocated in thick black smoke from burning rubber and chemicals. "Regardless of whether it was an accident or arson, people died. We are just determining what exactly happened so that we can clearly define what charges to file," Mr Espina told reporters on Thursday. The owner of the factory, which is operated by Kentex Manufacturing and produces rubber flip flops and sandals, said about 200 to 300 people were inside the building at the time of the fire. The mayor of the Valenzuela district, Rexlon Gatchalian, told the AFP news agency he did not expect the death toll to rise much further, as the number of bodies retrieved matched the number of people missing. Survivors and relatives of the victims told the news agency that factory employees worked for below minimum wage, surrounded by chemicals, and unaware of fire safety standards. "We were running not knowing exactly where to go," one of the survivors, Lisandro Mendoza, said. Some of those trapped texted family members asking for help, local media reported. The process of identifying the bodies will take time, officials warn, as fingerprints can no longer be used to identify the charred remains of the victims.

A pilot can be heard repeatedly requesting permission to land due to an electric failure and lack of fuel. Only six of the 77 people on board the plane survived. The team, Chapecoense, had been due to play a cup final in Medellin on Wednesday evening. Fans instead gathered to pay tribute. Thousands of people carrying candles and wearing white filled the stadium where Chapecoense was to have played Atletico Nacional. At the same time, Chapecoense fans held a tearful vigil at their home stadium in Chapeco, Brazil, which was draped in black ribbons. Both stadiums were filled to capacity. The leaked conversations between the flight crew and a Colombian air traffic controller give a glimpse of the frantic, final moments of the doomed plane. The pilot and can be heard warning of a "total electric failure" and "lack of fuel". Just before the tape ends, he says he is flying at an altitude of 9,000ft (2,743m). The plane slammed into a mountainside near the Colombian city of Medellin late on Monday. That there was no explosion when the plane came down also points to lack of fuel, with one Colombian military source telling the AFP agency its absence was "suspicious". It is not known why the plane was out of fuel: whether it was because of a leak or because there was not enough on board. Investigators have yet to announce any single cause for the crash and a full analysis is expected to take months. What we know Chapecoense were flying to Medellin for what would have been the biggest match in their history - the final of regional tournament the Copa Sudamericana. The team lost 19 players in the crash. Twenty journalists were also killed. Among the survivors, Chapecoense said that two players remained in a critical but stable condition, while the club's goalkeeper had had one leg amputated and might still lose his other foot. An injured journalist also remained in critical condition, the club said. Another survivor, flight technician Erwin Tumiri, said he was still alive because he followed safety instructions. "Many stood up and started shouting," he said. "I put the suitcases between my legs and assumed the brace position." A team torn apart Three days of official mourning is under way in Brazil, with thousands of fans in the city of Chapeco massing in their home stadium to mark their loss. Chapecoense directors say they expect up to 100,000 to attend collective funerals once all the bodies have been identified, most likely on Friday or Saturday. "We're very anxious for the arrival of the bodies, to give them a last tribute, which they deserve. The city has stopped, waiting for that moment to come," said one supporter. There has been an outpouring of grief and support from the football world. The team Chapecoense were due to play in the Copa Sudamericana, Atletico Nacional, have offered to concede the game so Chapecoense are declared winners, while leading Brazilian sides have asked the league to protect the side from relegation. Many of football's most famous names, from Lionel Messi to Pele, have offered condolences. The top seed, who lost to Egyptian El Sherbini, 20, in April's World Championship final, won 12-10 11-6 in the season-ending event. "I'm happy with the way I played. It's always nice to turn the result over," said 32-year-old Massaro. She will face Egyptian Raneem El Welily, who beat Malaysia's Nicol David 11-5 8-11 11-8, in Saturday's final. Meanwhile, England's Nick Matthew, the three-time world champion, said he is looking forward to a summer of intense training before the 2016-17 campaign. "I've not had that for a couple of years," said the 35-year-old. "If I do, I believe I have another good season left in me." Matthew, who was playing in his first event since recovering from an ankle injury, lost his opening two group matches in Dubai before beating world number one Mohamed Elshorbagy in a dead rubber on Thursday. Some 89% of UK chief executives are confident their firm will grow this year, up from 85% last year, the poll by consultants PwC showed. The finding makes UK business leaders some of the most optimistic globally. But they are gloomy about the wider economy, with just 17% expecting global growth to improve this year. PwC's survey, released ahead of the annual World Economic Forum, held in the Swiss Alpine village of Davos, interviewed more than 1,300 chief executives in 79 countries, including 126 UK bosses. Trump, China and Brexit to dominate Davos Vaswani: Why is Xi Jinping going to Davos? Davos: Are the global elite in retreat? Davos coverage in full "There are signs of optimism right across the globe, including in the UK and US, where despite predictions of a Trump slump and a Brexit exit, CEOs' confidence in their company's growth are up from 2016," said PwC's global chairman Bob Moritz. British bosses' confidence is not just short term, the survey indicates. Almost all of those polled expected their firms to grow over the next three years, again making them more bullish than their global peers. Almost two-thirds of UK firms also expect to hire new staff this year, higher than the global average, and vastly outweighing the minority that expect to cut jobs. The apparent optimism comes despite Prime Minister Theresa May's pledge to trigger Article 50 - the process of leaving the EU - by the end of March. However, the survey indicated firms were concerned about the most evident impact of the Brexit vote so far - the sharp fall in the pound. The pound has fallen around 20% against the dollar since the referendum. Reports that Mrs May could be willing to sacrifice the UK's membership of the single market and customs union in order to gain control over migration led to a renewed slide in sterling overnight. Why is the pound so twitchy over Brexit? Single market or customs union deal? But questions over the impact of the UK's EU exit do not appear to have deterred the UK's popularity as a place to invest, with its attractiveness to foreign firms increasing since last year. Overall, the UK is seen as the fourth most important country for growth, behind the US, China and Germany. The optimism of British bosses reflects a broader increase in confidence globally among leaders, although levels are still far from the pre-financial crisis heights in 2007. The survey also shows firms are concerned about the impact of some of Donald Trump's expected policies. During his election campaign, Mr Trump threatened to rip up Nafta, the free trade agreement between Canada, the US and Mexico, which has been in place for 23 years. The majority of those polled said they were concerned about protectionism, but US and Mexican bosses were particularly worried. Despite most bosses globally believing that the free movement of trade and people was positive, they also acknowledged it had not helped improve inequality between rich and poor. Mr Moritz called on firms to help bridge the gap. "There's a lot at stake if we do not achieve inclusive global growth," he said. The National Police Air Service (NPAS) said the incident on Monday involved a crew from St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan, and could have had "devastating consequences". About 1,380 laser attacks on aircrafts were reported to the Civil Aviation Authority last year. Ollie Dismore from NPAS said such attacks were a "serious concern". "What may seem harmless fun to the culprit could potentially have devastating consequences for the crew and passengers in the aircraft [and] innocent members of the public on the ground," he said. Theresa May told BBC Wales she wanted to hear "the particular issues" in different parts of the UK via talks with devolved administrations. But she stressed the UK would do the negotiating. The Welsh Government said it must "have a place" at the negotiation table. Mrs May said on Sunday that Britain will begin the formal process of leaving the EU by the end of March. She told the Conservative conference there would be no opt-out from Brexit - and she would never allow "divisive nationalists to undermine the precious union between the four nations of our United Kingdom". Mrs May told BBC Wales the Welsh Government would be involved in discussions. She said she was "very pleased" that during a visit to Cardiff in July she spoke with First Minister Carwyn Jones and Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns about how the Welsh Government would be involved in Brexit talks. "Of course, it will be the UK that is negotiating with the European Union in terms of the terms for Brexit," she said. "I want to make a real success of it but, in doing our preparations, I want to listen to the devolved administrations, to hear the particular issues in different parts of the United Kingdom so they are fully engaged and will continue to be fully engaged." When challenged over the future of EU-funded projects in Wales, she said the UK government would protect money from Brussels earmarked for farmers until 2020. She said, however, her government needed to discuss what would happen thereafter. She said the changes gave Britain an "opportunity". "It gives us the control. That's one of the key issues," she said. "I think a lot of people, when they voted to leave the European Union, it was about not having control over their lives and, as a British government, we will be the ones who will be able to make decisions about how we ensure that the economy is working for everyone across the country and society is working for everyone across the country." With the Conservative conference under way in Birmingham, Mrs May signalled that one of the party's "key messages" would be to highlight the Labour-run Welsh Government's record on the NHS and education. She said: "I'm pleased that, when I visited Cardiff shortly after I became prime minister, I was also able to talk to Andrew RT Davies and I'll be talking to him about how we can take this message across Wales as Welsh Conservatives, that we're going to be a government that works for everyone," she added. A Welsh Government spokesman said the first minister had been "crystal clear" about free access to the European single market being "a must for Wales' economic future". "We must also have a place at the negotiating table, so that we can secure the very best outcome for Wales," he added. Judge Lee Yeakel said key provisions were unconstitutional because they in effect blocked access to abortion. The legislation includes the requirement for clinics to meet the same surgical standards as hospitals. The issue has become a battleground in November's election for state governor, with supporters and opponents of the law vying for the post. The election pits Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott against one of the law's fiercest critics, State Senator Wendy Davis. A previous legal battle ended with an appeals court upholding another provision of the law. A spokeswoman for Mr Abbott said his office would immediately appeal against the latest decision to the US 5th Circuit Court for Appeals in New Orleans, the same court that upheld a provision requiring doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The law also limits the use of abortion-inducing drugs, bans abortions at the 20th week of pregnancy and requires clinics to meet surgical facility standards Judge Yeakel's decision struck down provisions that required surgical facilities for any type of abortion, including medication-induced, as well as admitting privileges for two specific clinics. They were due to take effect on Monday. State lawyers argued the provisions were for safety reasons and women would not suffer from fewer abortion clinics, saying nearly nine in 10 women would still live within 150 miles (241km) of a provider. Lt Governor David Dewhurst told the Texas Tribune the court's decision "undermines a concerted effort to improve health care for women in Texas". Judge Yeakel rejected both arguments, finding that surgical facilities made little difference to the already low risk to women, and that the law would in effect leave open at most eight clinics to serve the entire state. He added that women seeking abortions in the most western and southern parts of the state, where poverty and distances to major metropolitan areas were greater, would see the most obstacles. "A woman with means, the freedom and ability to travel and the desire to obtain an abortion will always be able to obtain one, in Texas or elsewhere," he wrote. "However, Roe's [The Supreme Court's 1973 ruling on abortion] essential holding guarantees to all women, not just those of mean, the right to a pre-viability abortion." Senator Davis, who launched her campaign for governor after a nearly 13-hour long filibuster against the bill, called the ruling a "victory for women's health care" in a tweet. Kelly won the Irish title in June 1953 when he beat Eddie 'Bunty' Doran. Four months later, Kelly landed the British and European titles by beating Scotland's Peter Keenan over 15 rounds. Kelly defended his European belt against Belgian Jean Kidy a month later but then lost the title in his next defence against France's Robert Cohen. Cohen knocked down Kelly several times in the bout before it was stopped in the third round. Kelly lost his British title seven months later when Keenan avenged his earlier defeat by stopping the Belfast man in six rounds. A brief stint at featherweight followed for Kelly before he ended his career in 1957 with an eight-round knockout of Teddy Baker, which left him with a record of 24 wins and four defeats. A search operation at the Koshe landfill will continue overnight. As many as 150 people are believed to have been at the site during the landslide. Meanwhile, the funerals of some of the victims have taken place. The dump, which has served the city of four million for more than five decades, provided shelter for some. The country is currently observing three days of mourning for those who died. Hundreds of people attempt to make a living by scavenging at the landfill site, sifting through the rubbish for items they can sell. Some resided at the rubbish dump permanently. More than 350 residents have now been moved from the site, the officials say. A number of makeshift houses were buried under tonnes of waste in the landslide. Rescue teams are now using excavators to dig through piles of rubbish. The authorities have been building Africa's first waste-to-energy plant near the landfill. They plan to burn rubbish generated by Addis Ababa and convert it into electricity. The Canberra was on its way back to RAF Wyton in Cambridgeshire when it plunged into houses in Oxmoor, Huntingdon, at about 11:00 BST on 3 May 1977. A memorial bench featuring five doves - one for each of the dead - was unveiled earlier, as the Hunts Post reported. It is thought the plane crashed when the pilot lost control. The Canberra was returning to its base after a routine photo-reconnaissance mission when it crashed into the row of terraced houses on Norfolk Road. More on this and other news from Cambridgeshire Sisters Kelly Middleton, aged two-and-a-half years, Tracey Middleton, aged four-and-a-half, and baby Adrian Thompson, who was just three-and-a-half months old, all died. The pilot, Flt Lt John Armitage, 27, and navigator Flt Lt Lawrence Davies, 26, were also killed. Eyewitnesses at the time described a "blinding flash of light" as the plane hit the houses and exploded. Speaking in the Commons the day after the crash, then-Secretary of State for Defence Frederick Mulley, told ministers: "I am sure that the House will wish to join me in expressing great sympathy to the parents and relatives of the little children and of the crew who died and to those who were injured." He said the crew did not use their ejector seats and the weather at the time was good. The 40th anniversary service at Sapley Playing Field at 12:00 BST was organised by Huntingdon Town Council to remember those who lost their lives and to pay respect to their families. Two of those attending were baby Adrian Thompson's mother Brenda and his sister Nicola. Mrs Thompson recalled how "there was this explosion and flames and fire". "We were trying to get out the back of the house," she said. "I got Nicola out, but Adrian was asleep upstairs and I couldn't get upstairs to get him." The service was followed by the unveiling of the bench and five plaques. The council is collating people's memories of the incident, to be published in a book at a later date. Rates are property taxes - they are made up of the regional rate and the district rate which is set by councils. Mr Storey said the 1.7% increase is a real term freeze, when inflation is considered. Although CPI (Consumer Price Index) inflation is 0.3%, a different measure based on UK GDP is used in public finance accounting. Mr Storey said: "By freezing the regional rate in real terms for the sixth year in a row, the Executive has aimed to strike a balance between the needs of ratepayers during challenging economic times and ensuring that public finances are sufficient to cover the priorities we have set ourselves." The 31-year-old, who played for Lincoln Ladies last season, has won 116 England caps. She joins Liverpool's Kolo Toure, West Ham's Matt Jarvis and Wigan's Grant Holt as new members on the committee. Read more about Casey's journey to top "It is an honour and a privilege to be appointed and I'm really looking forward to the new role," she said. "I want to take women's football forward. This enables us to have a voice for the women's game and spread awareness of the great things the PFA do and can offer." Stoney, who is yet to decide where she will play next season, was involved with the PFA when the England team were renegotiating their central contracts with the Football Association earlier this year. Those contracts increased by £4,000 to £20,000 and Stoney sees that as evidence the union has played an important part in the growth of the women's game ahead of the Women's Super League (WSL) expanding to two divisions next summer. The England squad have been members of the PFA since 2011, with WSL players joining the union last year. The PFA has 100 members from the WSL, compared to 3,500 in the men's game. Stoney told BBC Sport: "[The PFA] were key in moving things forward for us. Even from the PFA annual general meeting on Wednesday, women's football was high on the agenda. "Being on the management committee now, I will try and engage more female members. "It's a massive step forward for the women's game." North Wales Hospital in Denbigh is being sold as a long-running row about its future continues. It is described as having potential for up to 20 acres of residential development land. Denbighshire council has been due to compulsory purchase the building after taking legal action against the owners. Freemont (Denbigh) Ltd still has the right to try to sell the site as it has not been transferred into the ownership of the council. Over 1,000 staff were employed within the hospital before it fell into disrepair and closed in 1995. A council spokesman said it would need to negotiate with the new owner if it was sold before the compulsory purchase is confirmed. The auction was conducted by Allsops auctioneers in London on Thursday. Jonjo Bright was 19 when he suffered a serious spinal injury at a competition in Tyrella, County Down, in March 2013. He told BBC Radio Ulster's Stephen Nolan Show that he did not want to listen to doctors when they told him he had little chance of walking. He said his refusal to accept it helped his recovery and he has since regained some limited movement in his legs. The amateur jockey was just starting out in his career when he was thrown from a horse at the Tyrella Point to Point competition. He told the programme that he knew immediately something was wrong, as his body felt like it was covered in concrete as he lay on the track. "Your first reaction whenever you fall is to nearly half curl up into a ball just to make sure you don't get kicked or anything and that was the first time I realised," he said. "It nearly felt like... everything was concreted to the ground, bar my head. Everything was just stuck." The injury was very high up his spinal cord and he was initially paralysed almost from the neck down. "I couldn't lift my arms, I could just about shrug my shoulders," he recalled. Jonjo has since embarked on an exercise regime and has regained movement in his arms, limited power in his leg and can wiggle his toes. He has also been able to take thousands of steps with the help of a powered exoskeleton suit. He describes the suit as a "wearable robot" that he is strapped into during his training regime. "It will sit me forward and stand me up and allow me to walk and take steps," he said. "Slightly over 2,000 [steps] in just over an hour is the best I've been at so far, so I'm getting faster all the time in it." Jonjo said his refusal to think negative thoughts or to accept doctors' diagnosis have helped his efforts to recover. "I wasn't listening to them," he said. "Looking back, there's a lot in what they said that is obviously right... but I think when something that bad happens to you, at times you nearly need to be a bit ignorant to it and just think 'I can prove this wrong'. He added: "I needed to, because if I listened and if I absorbed everything I was told I would have gone mad." The young jockey lives on his parents' farm and has paid tribute to the help and support he has received from his family and the horseracing industry. "I don't think there is any other sport in the world that looks after their own like it. "I literally was an amateur jockey just starting off, I actually wouldn't have called myself a jockey. "I have been treated like I'd been a jockey for years and I'm so grateful for that. "They've put me, and continue to put me, in the best possible position to get what I can out of [my recovery], in terms of looking into the future, staying in the best shape that I can." He added there were many "exciting" scientific developments happening at present in the field of paralysis research. "If I don't keep myself in the best possible shape, then any treatments in the future would be no use." It is thought there were about 140 people on board, but their country of origin has not yet been established. It is believed to be the first time during the current Mediterranean migrant crisis that people have arrived on UK sovereign territory. The MoD said responsibility for them rested with the Cypriot authorities. The base at Akrotiri, on the south coast of the island, has been used to launch British air strikes against Islamic State fighters in Iraq. An MoD spokesman said: "We can confirm that a number of boats with migrants on board have landed on the shore of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. "At the moment our key priority is ensuring everybody on board is safe and well and when we can release further details we will. "We have had an agreement in place with the Republic of Cyprus since 2003 to ensure that the Cypriot authorities take responsibility in circumstances like this." The boats arrived early on Wednesday morning, the MoD said. "Events like this underline why it is important for us to develop a comprehensive approach to the migration crisis working with our international partners to provide humanitarian assistance in Syria and neighbouring countries; to disrupt the trafficking gangs and to address the root causes of instability that cause people to seek a new life elsewhere," the spokesman added. Almost 600,000 migrants are estimated to have arrived in Europe by sea so far this year, with the majority coming from Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea. Unlike a number of Greek or Italian islands, European Union member Cyprus has not seen an influx, despite its relative proximity - less than 100 miles - to the Syrian coast. EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has called for an extraordinary summit of several EU and Balkan leaders on Sunday to discuss the migrant crisis. In a statement on Wednesday, he said there was "a need for much greater co-operation, more extensive consultation and immediate operational action". A number of Iraqi Kurds landed at RAF Akrotiri in 1998 and still live in a second British base on Cyprus, Dhekelia, in former military accommodation. They have tried to apply for asylum in the UK, but have been repeatedly turned down by the government. The National Union of Teachers conference is to vote on calls for the government's Prevent strategy no longer to apply to schools and colleges. Delegates will argue that it threatens a "spirit of openness" in schools. The Department for Education says it "makes no apology" for protecting young people from extremism. The NUT's annual conference in Brighton will hear warnings that counter-radicalisation policies are having the unintended consequence of stopping teachers talking about "challenging ideas" with their pupils. Fears over anti-extremism measures are threatening to "close down space for open discussion in a safe and secure environment", the conference will hear. There will also be claims that Muslim pupils can be unfairly targeted. The conference will debate proposals to call on the government to withdraw the Prevent strategy for schools and to develop an alternative approach to safeguarding. Delegates will hear warnings that schools are being discouraged from allowing pupils to debate controversial ideas and to develop their own "critical thinking skills". Teachers will say they have lost confidence in being able to talk about topical issues and that this could "smother" the discussion of legitimate political opinions. And they say that pupils should not be afraid that they could be reported for giving their viewpoints in a school debate. The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act, introduced last year, places a legal duty on schools to "prevent people from being drawn into terrorism". It followed fears about young people being radicalised in schools and colleges, after some young people disappeared to Syria or joined extremist groups. When the legislation came into force, NUT leader Christine Blower said: "Teachers cannot be turned into spies in the classroom." The government has said that Prevent does not inhibit open debate and discussion, but provides the "resilience" for them to challenge extremism arguments. A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "We make no apology for protecting children and young people from the risks of extremism and radicalisation. "Prevent is playing a key role in identifying children at risk of radicalisation and supporting schools to intervene. "Good schools will already have been safeguarding children from extremism and promoting fundamental British values long before this duty came into force." A Rembrandt etching, from 1634, and a 1504 engraving by the German artist Durer were reported missing in April. They were found on Thursday in the library's print stacks by a conservation officer. "We're thrilled to have found these treasures right here at home. They were found safe and sound, simply misfiled," said Library president Amy Ryan. Durer's Adam and Eve and Rembrandt's Self-Portrait With Plumed Cap and Lowered Sabre were found in the library's storage room, following an eight-week search of 320,000 items. Boston police, the FBI and the US attorney's office had been investigating the whereabouts of the artworks, whose combined estimated value was around $630,000 (£411,000), amid suggestions they had been stolen. 'Cloud lifted' Ryan, president of the Library since 2008, announced she was stepping down earlier this week. A damning audit - released last week - criticised the library, accusing it of ineffectual protection of special collections and disorganised storing of valuables. The same week saw the library announce that gold coins, apparently stored in a time capsule, may have gone missing decades ago. "It's a cloud lifted, a burden off our shoulders," Ryan told the Boston Globe, following the discovery of the missing artworks on Thursday. "Everyone is happy." "Someone just said this to me and it's true: 'Nothing is missing under my watch'". "All the items that we have been told are missing - but that have not been verified - went missing years before I started at BPL [Boston Public Library]." However, Ryan insisted she would still go ahead with her resignation on 3 July despite the good news. The Boston Public Library is the first municipally funded library in the United States and one of the first free public libraries in the world. Recruitment opened at noon, with candidates invited to register online until 20 February. Acting Chief Constable John Long said the force wanted to encourage people from all backgrounds to consider a career in policing. The force is also in the process of reducing its total number of officers by 134 in order to save ??8m. This reduction is posts, due to changes in the force structure, is being achieved through natural attrition. A force spokeswoman said the new recruits would replace officers who have retired, transferred to another force or left for other reasons in the last year, combined with the anticipated number of leavers over the forthcoming year. "The individuals we are recruiting now will join the force at intervals over the next 12 months," she said. "Our aim is to maintain the required number of PCs to deliver the service to the public." Mr Long said: "We want to reach all parts of the community and I hope to see people from all corners of the force area apply. "It's important that our workforce reflects the communities we serve to provide value and build trust. That's why we're actively encouraging people from all cultural, ethnic and religious background to consider a rewarding career in policing with us." Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens said: "Policing is a challenging and rewarding job and it is vital that the service reflects the communities it serves. "Opportunities to recruit police officers over the next few years will be few and far between so I hope people will strongly consider this exciting opportunity now." Morgan, 24, scored two tries as the Blues reached the European Challenge Cup quarter-finals with a 37-21 win. "You need to be able to put pressure on kickers to force loose kicks but that's why we've got him here," Wilson said. "He's electric when he's got that type of opportunity and I thought he was fantastic in that second half." The Blues will face Gloucester at Kingsholm in the quarter-finals, after Stade Francais beat Harlequins 27-17 in their final group game. They could have faced a last eight tie against fellow Welsh region Ospreys if Quins had beaten the French side on Sunday. Wilson continued: "If you kick loosely to him [Morgan], his instinct and where to come back was superb. We saw that today and that's why we've got him out there." Former Bristol back Morgan set up Sam Warburton to run in late on in their win against Bristol and says they need to maintain the rapport in their back line. "We've got a good back three at the Blues. We are all on the same page to counter-attack, which is paying off," Morgan told BBC Radio Wales. "We need to keep that up for the rest of the season. With the season we've had, it's good [to reach the quarter-finals]. We've had a couple of wins and losses but to get through is pretty special. Now we need to kick on. "Whoever we get, it's going to be a tough game, but I think if we play the best rugby we can, we can give anyone a game." Blues' quarter final opponents will be decided by the outcome of the Stade Francais v Harlequins match at 13:00 GMT on Sunday. A Harlequins win would see Blues face Welsh rivals Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium while a home win would mean Danny Wilson's side facing Gloucester away.

David Hall, from Livingston who is now 16, found the hacksilver in Fife when he was aged 14, in 2014. The silver was believed to have been used by Roman soldiers to bribe Picts while passing through Scotland. David said he did not initially realise the importance of the find and is excited to see how it now looks. The Dairsie hoard dates to the late 3rd century AD and is the earliest hacksilver from anywhere beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire. The find has been hailed as "internationally significant" and will go on show for the first time in a new exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland in October. David told BBC Scotland he first became interested in metal detecting after watching an American TV programme. He then saved up and bought a "low-end" detector. He had only been using it for a few months when he came across the silver. "It was quite a boring day," he said. "I was at a rally with 103 metal detectorists and we were looking in three fields and nothing had come up. "All of a sudden I found a few bits of silver and I showed it to a friend who said it was Roman and after that we found another 200 pieces on the first day." Hacksilver consists of silver objects hacked into pieces to make raw bullion. Archaeologists think the silver came to Fife as a gift or payment from the Roman world. The Romans could not just rely on the strength of their army - they also used diplomatic efforts to secure the empire's borders by buying off surrounding tribes. As well as being hacked-up by the Romans, the hoard had been shattered by ploughing. Curators have undertaken a daunting jigsaw puzzle, reconstructing four Roman vessels from more than 300 fragments, as well as examining how they had been cut into packages of bullion. David said: "This was really my first proper find. "I didn't realise how important it was at first, but it's been really exciting to be able to come and see what National Museums' curators and conservators have been able to do to clean it up and to examine it to work out what it is. "It looks really different now. It's great to have unearthed a piece of history and I'm looking forward to seeing it on display at the museum." Dr Fraser Hunter, principal curator at National Museums Scotland said: "New archaeological evidence is rewriting our understanding of Roman frontier politics, and silver was a key part of this. "It's a fascinatingly complex picture that shows interaction and realpolitik, with the Romans changing their approach to deal with different emerging problems, and local tribes taking advantage of Roman 'gifts'. The Dairsie hoard is internationally significant. "It's the earliest evidence for a new phase of Roman policy in dealing with troublesome tribes, using bribes of silver bullion in the form of hacked silver vessels. "It's been great to show David Hall, the finder, the next steps in translating a find like this from the field, through the laboratories and on to public display." The exhibition, Scotland's Early Silver, will show for the first time how silver, not gold, became the most important precious metal in Scotland over the course of the first millennium AD. New research and recent archaeological discoveries will chart the first thousand years of silver in Scotland. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning

A hoard of Roman silver discovered by a teenage metal detectorist in his "first proper find" is to go on display in Scotland.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission will review allegations Alison Hernandez failed to declare expenses as election agent in Torbay in the 2015 General Election. It comes on the first day of office for Ms Hernandez as Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall. She has denied any wrongdoing. Read more on this story as it develops throughout the day on our Local Live pages. The referral to the IPCC was made by the chief executive of the office of the police and crime commissioner, Andrew White. The watchdog will decide whether to investigate, or refer the matter to another police force. Ms Hernandez faced criticism for taking the oath on Tuesday and failing to stand aside amid a wider probe into Conservative MPs expense. On Thursday she said she wanted to get on with her job "without distraction". "Today I take up that post determined to serve every single person that lives in this police area and determined that the priorities I want to implement in the next four years are heard." A spokesman for the IPPC said: "An assessment is under way to determine the appropriate level of IPCC involvement, if any."

The police watchdog is investigating claims a newly-elected crime commissioner improperly declared election expenses.

Ava and Elouise Lucas were born at 25 weeks after doctors discovered a potentially deadly condition. After just 18 hours, Elouise died, and weeks later medics advised parents Lauren Smith, 23, and Graham Lucas, 27, to switch off Ava's life support. But after a "traumatic" four months, Ava was allowed to go home. The twins were born in January, with Elouise weighing just 400g (14oz) - less than a bag of sugar. Their parents were told the girls had twin-twin transfusion syndrome, with one losing blood to the other via connected blood vessels. As soon as they were delivered, Ms Smith said, her daughters were immediately taken to intensive care. "It was the most traumatic time of my life when the girls were born," she said. "I didn't see them for hours and when I did, it was clear they weren't ready to take on the challenge they needed to face." Within hours, the couple were told Elouise was dying. "We had to make the hardest decision - a decision no parent should have to make - we had to turn off our baby's machine," Ms Smith said. "We were broken-hearted and inconsolable that one of our precious babies had died but we had to stay strong for Ava and pray she would pull through." After four weeks, doctors advised the couple to switch off Ava's life support machine, but the couple declined. Ava remained on life support for 10 weeks, underwent life-saving treatment and was treated at five different hospitals. After four months, she was well enough to go home to Peterborough with her family. Ava is still on oxygen and has brain damage. Ms Smith said medics suspect she will have cerebral palsy. "She was put through a lot but never gave up and we are so proud of her for that," said Ms Smith. "This Christmas will be very difficult as even though we are celebrating Ava being alive, we will be remembering our beloved Elouise. "We will lay flowers in our garden for her and think of her all day. "We know she will be looking down on Ava as we make the day one to remember." The injury puts him out of Saturday's European Champions Cup final against Clermont Auvergne at Murrayfield. The 28-year-old winger was named as part of Gregor Townsend's first Scotland squad on Monday for matches in Singapore, Australia and Fiji. "Sean is unfortunately out for the rest of the season," said McCall. "It may or may not need surgery, but we won't find out for a few days. It's cruel luck for a player who has been in such great form." Scotland will play a Test against Italy in Singapore on 10 June before facing Australia in Sydney on 17 June and Fiji in Suva on 24 June. New-Zealand-born Maitland joined Glasgow Warriors in 2012 from Crusaders and qualified to play for Scotland through his Glaswegian grandparents. He scored on his Scotland debut against England at Twickenham the following year and has gone on to score five tries in 28 international appearances.

Potts was arrested after Gladys Allen, 93, was found dead at a house in Crimicar Lane, Sheffield, last January. Her family said they were "grateful" the justice system had recognised the defendant's mental state. A post-mortem examination of Mrs Allen's body had proved inconclusive, South Yorkshire Police said. However, Sheffield Crown Court was told her body had a range of injuries. including head wounds and broken ribs. The Potts family said Mrs Allen had been the central focus of the family and Potts had been a "loving daughter who was consumed by remorse". The statement continued: "The tragedy that occurred in January was because at that time Sue had become severely depressed; it would have been unthinkable in any other circumstances. "We are grateful that the justice system has recognised, that, but for her mental state, this tragedy would not have occurred, and that Sue will continue to receive treatment in hospital. "The hope for all of us, including Gladys' friends and neighbours, is that with expert care, Sue will recover and eventually return to her family." The duo have fronted the show since it began on BBC Two in 2010, alongside judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood. They said in a statement: "We made no secret of our desire for the show to remain where it was... we're not going with the dough." Love Productions, which makes the show, thanked them for "bringing their unique humour to the tent". Giedroyc and Perkins said they were "very shocked and saddened" to learn Bake Off will be leaving the BBC. Their statement continued: "The BBC nurtured the show from its infancy and helped give it its distinctive warmth and charm, growing it from an audience of two million to nearly 15 [million] at its peak. "We've had the most amazing time on Bake Off, and have loved seeing it rise and rise like a pair of yeasted Latvian baps. "We're not going with the dough. We wish all the future bakers every success." In their statement, Love Productions said: "We would like to thank Mel and Sue for bringing their own unique humour to the tent over the past years and we respect their decision not to be part of the Bake Off team on Channel 4." A spokesman for Channel 4 said earlier today that it "would be delighted if the presenters and judges want to come to Channel 4". It is not yet known if judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood will stay with the show. The BBC fell £10m short of the amount of money required to keep The Great British Bake Off, BBC News understands. The corporation is thought to have offered £15m per year to keep the programme on the BBC. That would have been double the amount the BBC currently pays for the show and its sister programmes such as An Extra Slice and the Sport Relief specials. But it is understood Love Productions refused to entertain any offers below £25m per year. Channel 4 will begin airing the programme in 2017, starting with a celebrity special in aid of Stand Up To Cancer. On the news that Giedroyc and Perkins were leaving, former contestant Kate Henry, who was on the show in 2014, told the BBC News channel: "I'm quite sad that future contestants won't get to experience the joy of Mel and Sue in the tent. "They really make it a fun experience rather than painfully stressful." She said it would be an "utterly different show" if Berry and Hollywood were also to leave. Ian Cumming, who was a contestant last year, told the BBC: "I'm really shocked. You're losing the humour of the show (with Giedroyc and Perkins leaving). That was always its charm. I think it will gradually slip down but we'll see." Richard Burr, a finalist on series five in 2014, tweeted: "Without Mel and Sue it just isn't Bake Off. @Channel4 has just bought a tent." John Waite, who won the third series of Bake Off, tweeted that he "was not feeling so hopeful" now Giedroyc and Perkins had left. Both Giedroyc and Perkins have had plenty of work outside the Bake Off tent. The pair started on Channel 4 in the 90s with daytime TV show Light Lunch, when their on-screen chemistry and ad-libbing became a popular staple with students and daytime TV viewers. Giedroyc has co-presented the BBC's Eurovision semi-finals in Stockholm and Eurovison You Decide, as well as the BBC One's The Gift with Matt Baker, a show reuniting people who wanted to say thank you or sorry. She also took to the stage to play housekeeper Frau Schmidt in ITV's live Sound of Music last year. Perkins has hosted BBC Two panel show Insert Name Here as well as shows with Giles Coren, including BBC Four's Edwardian Supersize Me and BBC Two's The Supersizers Go. She also wrote and starred in BBC Two sitcom Heading Out, set in a vet's surgery, in 2013. Her work also includes presenting Thronecast on Sky Atlantic, the companion show to the hugely popular Game of Thrones TV series. TV host and actor James Corden tweeted "huge respect" for the departing presenters, while Youtube vlogger Zoella said the show wouldn't be the same. Guardian writer Charlotte Higgins tweeted: "Mel and Sue completely essential to #GBBO success." The Sun's Dan Wootton described Giedroyc and Perkins's departure as a "huge blow". But Telegraph columnist Neil Midgeley said the BBC should have paid out £25m to keep the show. "The BBC didn't have to lose its biggest hit, The Great British Bake Off, to Channel 4. For BBC director-general Lord Tony Hall, who is constantly fighting off accusations of financial largesse from Tory MPs, it was a splurge too far. "But, regardless of the politics, this is one BBC cheque that Lord Hall will come to wish he had written." The shows and presenters that have swapped channels Love Productions, which makes the programme, said negotiations with the BBC had been taking place for a year, with a last-ditch meeting on Monday. Richard McKerrow, Love Productions' creative director, said the firm had found "the perfect new home for Bake Off" at Channel 4. Scott Bryan, TV editor of Buzzfeed UK said: "You can't find any bigger a slot or do any better in terms of viewers than where it already is - on BBC One in a main teatime evening slot. "Channel 4 would be monumentally thrilled with the idea that they have the same ratings that it has on BBC. "I feel they would be equally happy if it got a few million less, because that would still be a few million more than another programme they would have on that slot, so it's still a massive win for them." It is not yet clear what time slot the show will have on Channel 4 or whether it will be cut or extended in length. Bake Off was 2015's most-watched programme, with 15.1 million viewers for the final, according to consolidated figures which include catch-up viewing. The seventh series is currently being shown on BBC One on Wednesday evenings. More than 10 million tuned in for the opening episode.

It follows an incident during their Premier League match at Villa Park on 2 November - which Tottenham won 2-1. The FA charge stated that in or around the 66th minute, the clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion. Both clubs accepted the standard penalty fine. Villa striker Christian Benteke was sent off after he pushed a hand into Spurs midfielder Ryan Mason's face. Television replays appeared to show Mason also pushing his head into the face of Benteke before referee Neil Swarbrick dismissed him. Villa were leading 1-0 at the time of the incident but goals from Nacer Chadli and Harry Kane helped Tottenham come from behind to win. Among those who will take part in the 28 February ceremony are Benicio Del Toro, Whoopi Goldberg and Kevin Hart. "Each of these artists brings a wonderfully distinctive element to the Oscars stage," said Oscars producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin. The Oscars has been overshadowed by a row about the lack of diversity, with some black stars boycotting the show. The Academy Awards announced the first slate of presenters for the 88th Oscars telecast in Los Angeles on Thursday. Other performers and presenters taking part are Tina Fey, Ryan Gosling, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Charlize Theron, Jacob Tremblay, The Weeknd and Pharrell. "Together they represent the many thrilling ways stories can be shared about the human experience, and we're honoured they will be part of the celebration," the Oscars producers said. The announcement comes after film director Spike Lee's suggestion that quotas might need to be introduced for black, Asian and minority ethnic actors. All 20 Oscar nominees for acting are white for the second consecutive year. A slew of actors later backed Lee's announcement that he could not support the "lily white" awards show. However, Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling called the ongoing row "racism against white people" and double Oscar-winner Sir Michael Caine advised black actors to "be patient". He thought his years as a coach of Galwegians, Connacht and Ireland had given him sufficient insight into the Irish psyche, but they hadn't. For omitting the darling of the Irish game, the Kiwi knew that all sorts of flak was heading his way. He knew that people would object thunderously and he was ready for that. He knew that people would object to his decision on rugby terms and he was steeled to the criticism. What he hadn't banked on was people losing the plot and accusing him of acting maliciously towards O'Driscoll in a bitter attempt to settle a score with Irish rugby following his sacking as national team coach in 2001. That stuff hurt. There was heaps of it and it was as ugly as it was unjustified. Gatland is a tough old boy, but that allegation stung, not just professionally, but personally. He made the call to drop O'Driscoll and promote Jonathan Davies for purely rugby reasons. Rightly, as it turned out. When Gatland decided to go with only two Scots - and a dozen Welsh - for the upcoming Lions tour to New Zealand, he did it because he feels it is the right thing to do. He'll take the grief, but let's hope the grief begins and ends with rugby without spiralling into some conspiracy theory about him having no time for the Scottish game. For Scottish rugby, there is despondency all over the place in this selection. No Scottish forward in a Lions squad for the first time since 1908. The joint lowest number of Scots in history. No recognition of the Scottish pack - particularly the back row, which completely outplayed the Welsh back row in the Six Nations. Wales have four back-rows and six forwards in Gatland's squad. Only two Scottish players - Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour - get the nod as opposed to 23 combined from Ireland and Wales, two teams that Scotland beat only a couple of months ago. There are legitimate gripes and taking points, but is there a miscarriage of justice? It's hard to see one. Is there a player whose claim was so obvious that it's grossly unfair that he's been left out? No. If you pick Sean Maitland then which of George North, Anthony Watson, Liam Williams, Elliot Daly and Jack Nowell are you leaving out? All of those guys deserve to travel. Eight-times capped England centre Ben Te'o's inclusion is a talking point but if there is one player who has cause to feel aggrieved there, it's Garry Ringrose of Leinster and Ireland, not any of the Scottish centres. Finn Russell (and England's George Ford) missed out in favour of Jonathan Sexton, Owen Farrell and Dan Biggar at 10. There is a case to be made for Russell ahead of Biggar, but it's not one you'd go to war over. Neither is the omission of Greig Laidlaw. It's a touch contentious, but not controversial. The hookers come into the same category. In this space Fraser Brown may have been picked, but Gatland is employed to do what he thinks he needs to do and he's gone down a different road. Rory Best is Ireland's captain, Jamie George is terrific off the bench and Ken Owens has had a decent season with Wales. Dylan Hartley, Brown and Sean Cronin, another great impact hooker, miss out. How loudly can anybody protest about Gatland's chosen three? Murmurings, sure, but it's hardly cause for revolution. Scotland have been unlucky at tight-head prop. WP Nel surely would have gone had he been fit. Zander Fagerson had a case. He's the type of player who would have grown in stature while surrounded by Lions. Tadhg Furlong, Dan Cole and Kyle Sinckler are hard to object to. It's debatable whether the Lions have ever had such a collection of quality locks. Include a Gray - Jonny or Richie - but who do you leave out? Alun Wyn Jones, Courtney Lawes, George Kruis or Ian Henderson - a player who just put in a thumping performance in derailing the English chariot in Dublin? Joe Launchbury hasn't made it either. Launchbury has probably more cause to feel hard done by than either Gray, as good as the brothers have been. Donnacha Ryan, the Munster and Ireland forward, hasn't made it either. Ryan played from the start when Ireland beat New Zealand in Chicago and again when they beat England last month. Now to the back row. CJ Stander, Maro Itoje, Sam Warburton and Peter O'Mahony are among the chosen ones who have played blind-side flanker in the Six Nations. If you're picking John Barclay, you may have to lose one of them. Who? At open-side flanker, the selected ones are Sean O'Brien and Justin Tipuric, with Warburton available at seven as well. Hamish Watson is arguably the Scot with the biggest case. He was outstanding during the Six Nations, Alun Wyn Jones singling him out for praise for the demolition job he did on the Welsh breakdown. But is it unfair that he's not picked - or just unlucky that so many other superb players are in his position? James Haskell also misses out. At number eight, Ross Moriarty has been picked, which was a major surprise. He had some high-profile successes, mainly his excellent performance against England, but he was tamed easily at Murrayfield. Is there much to choose between Moriarty and Ryan Wilson? Not really. But then you look at Jamie Heaslip - a former Ireland captain, a three-time European champion, a two-time Six Nations champion and a winner against the All Blacks in November - being left out and wonder who has the biggest gripe here? These are Gatland's calls based on what he thinks he needs to win a series in the most unforgiving terrain in world rugby. There's no stitch-up here, no agenda. In June, into July, will we know if his judgement was right. Mr Garton, 69, from Devizes in Wiltshire, disappeared on 25 September on a hillwalking trip in the area. Despite extensive searches involving helicopters, divers and search dogs, there has been no trace of him. The poles were recovered near Aonach Eagach Ridge, but a subsequent search of the area revealed nothing. Police Scotland said the poles were Lecki telescopic trekking/walking poles in a black and gold colour. Officers said they would like to hear from anyone else who may have lost poles on the ridge, a prominent feature in Glen Coe. Mr Garton's family are also helping the police establish if they were his. Robin Garton was reported missing after he failed to meet up with friends as planned in Kinlochewe in Wester Ross. A memorial service has been planned by Mr Garton's family. It will be held at St Johns Church, Devizes in December. Media playback is not supported on this device But where will the gold medals come for Britain? With the caveat that sport at the elite level offers no guarantees - and that no blame can be laid at our door should overly large wagers on the following not come off - here are 12 of the best shots for the coming weeks. Check on our progress to see if our tips came off or not... Event: 100m breaststroke Final: Sunday 7 August (02:53 BST on Monday) He is the reigning world, European and Commonwealth champion, and the current world record holder. These might be 21-year-old Adam Peaty's first Olympic Games, but the kid from Uttoxeter who grew up scared of water has appeared intimidated by little else since his big breakthrough two years ago. It makes sense: this is a man who relaxes by listening to NWA and practising target shooting with an air rifle. He will have to beat South Africa's 2012 Olympic champion Cameron der Burgh and his GB team-mate Ross Murdoch, but his mother is so confident of her son's chances that she is taking her first flight to watch him in person in Brazil. RESULT: GOLD! Event: Canoe single Final: Tuesday 9 August (19:16 BST) Having failed to make the C1 final in London when world number one, and then having had to settle for silver in C2 behind surprise British champions Etienne Stott and Tim Baillie, the 33-year-old is desperate to go one better than both four years ago and in Beijing. Once again world number one, David Florence has been part of five separate training camps on the Rio course and feels as at home on it as he did on Lee Valley's white water. The Scot once applied for the European Space Agency's astronaut training programme; while Tim Peake beat him to that honour, Florence could take his own giant leap at his third Olympic Games. RESULT: 10th Event: Women's pair rowing Final: Friday 12 August (14:24 BST) The winners of Team GB's first gold at the London Olympics are the clearest favourites among their nation's rowers to win gold again here. Unbeaten together since 2011, a run of 36 races, the two women are complementary characters - Helen Glover fiercely competitive, Heather Stanning calm and methodical - and unstoppable together. Since London, army officer Stanning has completed a tour of duty in Afghanistan; Glover has got engaged to kids' TV presenter Steve Backshall. After Rio, the army beckons again for one, marriage for the other. For the next two weeks, it is once again all about the gold. Event: Team pursuit Final: Friday 12 August (22:42 BST) At 36 Sir Bradley Wiggins has done it all - four Olympic gold medals, a multiple world champion, Tour de France winner, holder of the Hour record. These Games represent probably his last major tilt, but what a swansong it would be. One more medal and he will surpass Sir Chris Hoy as his country's most decorated Olympic athlete, reaching eight. Along with Ed Clancy, Owain Doull and Steven Burke he is part of the outstanding quartet in the competition; anything less than gold, for a nation that has won the last two Olympic titles, would rank as a grave disappointment. Event: Heptathlon Final: First day Friday 12 August, concludes Saturday 13 August (final event - 03:05 BST on Sunday) Jessica Ennis-Hill doesn't see herself as favourite to retain the title she won so memorably in Stratford's Olympic Stadium. In the four years since she has suffered injury, taken time out to give birth to son Reggie and had to balance training for the toughest event in her sport with the demands of motherhood. She has, however, won back her world title, and it is that ability to go beyond her best on the biggest occasions that sets her apart once again. Her greatest threat is likely to come from compatriot Katarina Johnson-Thompson, keen to put her own nightmare at last summer's Worlds in Beijing behind her, but having run her second fastest hurdles ever at last month's Anniversary Games Ennis-Hill is coming good when it most matters once again. Event: Team pursuit and omnium Finals: Team pursuit Saturday 13 August (21:14 BST), omnium concludes Tuesday 16 August (21:05 BST) No British woman has ever won three Olympic gold medals, but Laura Trott could double her two from London should she continue her upturn in form over the summer. Britain's team pursuit women's squad were unbeaten at the World Championships from 2011 to 2014, and while they slipped to silver in 2015 and bronze earlier this year, reports from their training base at the Manchester velodrome have indicated that they are returning to their best. In the omnium Trott must hold off veteran American Sarah Hammer as well as Australia's Annette Edmondson; with seven world and 10 European titles to her name already, she has the track record to start as narrow favourite. Event: Tennis Final: Sunday 14 August (Time to be confirmed) Andy Murray's triumph on Centre Court four summers ago marked the start of his first golden period - putting behind him the defeat in that year's Wimbledon final by Roger Federer, setting up his US Open victory a month later and then his first Wimbledon singles title the following summer. He comes to Rio off the back of a second Wimbledon victory arguably even more impressive than that of 2013. And with Federer and Stan Wawrinka absent through injury and Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic one of several top 10 players to pull out blaming the Zika virus, the greatest threat, as so often, will come from world number one Novak Djokovic. Murray will also take aim at the doubles with brother Jamie and may yet also join Heather Watson in the mixed doubles, having won silver with Laura Robson in 2012. Event: Dressage Final: Monday 15 August (14:00 BST) Before 2012 no British rider had ever won a medal in an Olympic dressage. Charlotte Dujardin, aboard her horse Valegro, won gold in both individual and team events, and the same partnership returns in Rio with both greater profile and greater expectations. Dujardin describes her mount as greedy and unaffectionate, but his ability to deal with the travel, noise and pressure of an overseas Olympics could see them triumph again. Event: 57kg taekwondo Final: Wednesday 17 August (02:00 BST on Thursday) The youngest British gold medallist in London, Jade Jones has spoken of her desire not to be a one-hit wonder. Having won 10 of her last 13 tournaments she is certainly in form, and while old rival Eva Calvo Gomez is her biggest threat (Jones lost four of her first six bouts against the Spaniard, before winning the last two) the two cannot meet until either the final or bronze medal contest. Don't expect Jones to back down; the 23-year-old says she takes pleasure in being known as someone who kicks people in the head for a living. Event: Triathlon Final: Thursday 18 August (15:00 BST) Not once in the four years since he won gold in London's Hyde Park has the elder Brownlee brother won a world title. Some of that is down to a persistent ankle injury, some to the consistent class of Spain's Javier Gomez. With surgery last year having fixed his ankle and a broken elbow ruling out Gomez, Alistair's peerless racing ability in the one-off big days make him a clear favourite once again. It will not be straightforward - younger brother Jonny is looking to upgrade the bronze he won in London, while Maria Mola and Fernando Alarza have both won key World Series races this summer but the punchy configuration of the Rio course - with a sea swim off Copacabana beach and bike leg that sees eight ascents of the steep Rua Professor Gastao - suits his strengths and preferred tactics perfectly. Event: Flyweight Final: Saturday 20 August (18:00 BST) The first woman in Olympic history to win a boxing gold medal, Nicola Adams is now looking to become the first Briton since Harry Mallin in 1924 to retain an Olympic title in the ring. The 33-year-old is in form - she became world champion in May - and while the woman she beat in the flyweight final in London, China's Ren Cancan, is back again for revenge, Adams believes she is in better shape yet than four summers ago. Events: 5,000m and 10,000m Finals: 10,000m: Saturday 13 August (01:25 BST on Sunday). 5,000m: Saturday 20 August (01:30 BST on Sunday) So many global golds has Mo Farah now won over the past five years that he arrives in Rio chasing an unprecedented quadruple-double - a fourth successive triumph at a major international games over both 5,000m and 10,000m. Having pulled that off in spectacular fashion in London, he repeated the trick at the Worlds in both Moscow and Beijing, running each time with pretty much identical tactics. No Briton has ever won three Olympic gold medals in athletics; while Ethiopia's trio of Muktar Edris, Dejen Gebremeskel and Hagos Gebrhiwet will look to gang up on him in the 10, the 5 - with three Kenyans, three Ugandans and a midweek heat to get past as well - could be harder yet. Farah, time after time, has proved himself equal to the challenge. The decision follows months of protests, with many saying that Marcos' record of corruption and rights abuses meant he should not be interred there. Nine judges voted in favour of the burial, with five against the decision. President Rodrigo Duterte had announced plans for the move shortly after his election in May. In August, he gave the initial go-ahead for the body to be buried in the National Heroes' Cemetery in Manila, calling Marcos a "Filipino soldier". Critics had argued it was inappropriate to provide an honourable burial to a president blamed for thousands of killings, tortures and military abductions, many of which remain unresolved. Marcos and his wife, Imelda, ruled the Philippines for 20 years before more than a million people took to the streets to overthrow them in what became known as the People Power Revolution of 1986. His embalmed body is currently on display in his home city of Batac. The infant was born to a woman named as Juli, who went into sudden labour a week before she was due to give birth. She gave birth at 07:28 [01:58GMT] with help from two female passengers near the Khan Market station, reports said. A spokesman for the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said they had decided to honour the baby girl. Juli, who is a resident of the Faridabad area, was on her way to Safdarjung Hospital for a routine check-up when labour began. Launched in 2002, Delhi's hi-tech metro system has become the lifeline of India's capital city and is used by at least 1.8 million people daily. Parts of the network are underground while some sections use elevated tracks. The system, which covers some of the city's most congested streets, is seen as the answer to Delhi's traffic chaos and has helped in lowering air pollution levels. Police spokesman Tyler Gamble said officers were on their way to break up a big crowd at the city's Bunny Friend Park when shots were fired. Ambulances took 10 people to hospital, Mr Gamble said, and others were taken by private vehicles. It is yet not known what started the shooting or how severe the injuries are. According to Mr Gamble, there were two groups at the park - one had walked there as part of a neighbourhood parade, while others were watching or participating in a video being made in the park. Witnesses told local TV station WWL that there were about 500 people at the park and that two gunmen opened fire in the crowd. The last of Dunlop's six successes at the event came in the 2013 Superstock race but the 15-time TT winner will be fancied to add to that tally. "We've made changes to the Superbike to get more speed and are developing it all the time," said the Ballymoney ace. "It's a fast, smooth and open. On a good day it's a fantastic circuit." Since taking Supersport and Senior triumphs at the Isle of Man TT in June, Dunlop has enjoyed victories at the Southern 100 and Armoy but the Bennett's Suzuki and MD Racing pilot will face stiff opposition at Dundrod. Lincolnshire's Peter Hickman goes into the meeting on a high after securing a win and a second place at Sunday's British Superbike round at Thruxton on board his Smith's BMW machinery. Hickman, who occupied the top step of the podium for the first time at an international road race by winning the second Superbike race at 'the Ulster' in 2015, believes Ian Hutchinson's one-year-old lap record of 134.089mph can be surpassed. "I definitely think we could go a lot faster. It all depends on the conditions obviously but if we can have a couple of godo days of practice and get to Saturday with some good laps under our belt then I don't see why we can't push it up to maybe 135 or 136mph," said the two-time Macau Grand Prix winner. "It'd be great to have a lap record around a road circuit, apart from my newcomer record at the TT I've not had an outright lap record anywhere on the roads so it'd be nice to do something like that, and good to do it at the Ulster. "I enjoy riding on the roads so much, it's so much fun, and I also enjoy the British Superbikes, and I'm fast doing both which is why I get so much excitement from both. For me it's all about riding bikes as much as possible. "Dundrod is just an untouched, proper circuit, just as it should be. It's fast, it's flowing, it hasn't had to be adapted with chicanes to try and make it safer; it already is as safe as you can make a road race, even though it is ridiculously fast," added the 30-year-old, who achieved five podiums from five starts at this year's TT. Among the other leading challengers should be Bradford rider Dean Harrison, who was crowned Southern 100 Solo Champion for the first time on his Silicone Engineering Kawasaki in July. Bruce Anstey will hope to make up for a disappointing season so far as he goes in search of a 13th win on board his fleet of Padgett's Hondas, with another former lap record holder, Manxman Conor Cummins, his team-mate once again. William Dunlop's best chance of victory is likely to come in the Supersport class, while Fermanagh's Lee Johnston will aim to recapture the form which saw him clinch a hat-trick in 2015 as he returns to action after a practice spill at the TT. Dan Kneen will hope to make the most of the opportunity he has been handed to impress in the Tyco BMW outfit, with Derek Sheils, Ivan Lintin, James Cowton, Jamie Coward, Dan Cooper, Christian Elkin and Adam McLean other probable frontrunners.

More than 500 men and women from 52 countries around the world are competing in four-a-side matches between 10 and 15 July. And city shoppers, workers and visitors have descended on George square to take in some of the 416 matches. Over the course of the week crowds are expected to reach 100,000, with Nicola Sturgeon even taking time out of her busy schedules to cheer from the sidelines. The first minister said the Homeless World Cup would energise and engage people who, for whatever reason, have become socially excluded. I took in Wednesday's matches and the heavy showers did nothing to dampen the player's spirits with a glut of goals. Spectators donned ponchos in the stands and gathered around the big screen to watch Scotland's women defeat the USA 11-1. In the opposite stand, Argentina and England fans exchanged some friendly chants as England's women narrowly saw off their opponents, winning 3-2. Office workers gathered at the windows of the square's surrounding buildings to watch the action. Men and women who are used to going unnoticed in everyday life have been thrust into the limelight as they represent their respective nations in their bid to become Homeless World Cup champions. In typical Scottish fashion we were treated to a complete change in weather conditions on Thursday, with matches kicking off in glorious sunshine. And fans seemed to be taking advantage as crowds gathered in bigger numbers than the day before. Party atmosphere Families arrived with young football fans in their favourite team colours. David Henderson, 74, from Cumbernauld, had his two grandchildren with him who are aspiring footballers themselves. Mr Henderson said it was great to see everyone out and integrating with each other. "This is my second time here. I was here on Tuesday and as soon as I said to my grandkids they wanted to come," he said. "The atmosphere is good and it shows you the people from Glasgow just all integrate and get wired in." The atmosphere was certainly lively as workers on their lunch break began to drift into George Square to take in one of the 14-minute matches. James, 33, from London, is in Glasgow on business this week and had no idea the Homeless World Cup was taking place until he was walking past and decided to take in Wales v Australia. He said: "It is fantastic. What a party. Everyone is just really happy and chilled." There were plenty of goals in the match with Wales running out eventual 7-3 winners. As lunchtime approached the stands began to fill for Ireland v Northern Ireland. Fans were not left disappointed as this tight affair finished 4-4. Matches ending in a draw are decided by penalties - players dribble towards the goalkeeper unopposed before taking their shot on goal. Ireland ran out eventual winners of the game scoring two penalties to one. The Homeless World Cup was co-founded by Mel Young, who also co-founded the Big Issue and is the chairman of Sportscotland. He said the players from around the world have been warmly welcomed by team Scotland and the people of Glasgow. "Our players are remarkable ambassadors for humanity, they are facing some of the toughest life challenges, and in their own way dealing with them," he said. "We hope spectators will continue to come out in their numbers as the competition reaches it's climax over the next couple of days." Scotland are bidding to be crowned world champions for the third time having previously won the cup in both 2007 and 2011. The Scotland squad are selected from the Street Soccer Scotland national football programme which supports socially disadvantaged men and women. Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is the national ambassador for the organisation which has also helped to provide reserve players to other national teams who have lost squad members through injury. Scotland's players are picked by team manager and former Rangers star Ally Dawson, 58, who first became involved in the Homeless World Cup when it began in Graz, Austria in 2003. He said his players were getting a great deal out of the event and that it was a great opportunity for them to learn about different cultures. The former player, who was capped for Scotland five times, said there was a "buzz about the place" and that everyone had been friendly and was getting behind the team. "People see how good Glasgow is and how open and friendly it is and everyone has a smile on their face," he added. Dawson says the commitment and work rate of the players has been fantastic and that they believe in one another and work well together. At the moment, Scotland's men sit third in Group A with the woman's team sitting second and one point behind leaders Kyrgyzstan in Group B. They will have to continue their impressive run of form as tournament favourites Mexico top their groups in both men's and women's tournaments. The finals will be played on Saturday. Houston was found not guilty of making contact with a match official in Widnes' loss to Warrington on 13 April. Amor was sent off for a high tackle on Wigan's Liam Marshall in Saints' local derby defeat at Wigan a day later. He was found guilty but the charge against him was downgraded and the red card was deemed sufficient punishment. Huddersfield half-back Danny Brough has been suspended for one match and fined £300 after being found guilty of using foul and abusive language towards a match official. Warrington hooker Daryl Clark, Wigan centre Anthony Gelling and Leigh's Gregg McNally all took early guilty pleas to their respective charges. Clark and Gelling have received one-match bans, while McNally will miss his side's next two games. A crowd-funding project has raised more than £1m of the £2.35m required to take part in the final race on 23 November. Administrator Finbarr O'Connell said: "The team needs to showcase itself. It needs to be acquired by some high-value individual, individuals or corporation. "But the only way they will acquire it is if the team is still together." Caterham missed last weekend's United States Grand Prix and this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo as the administrators attempt to restructure it. O'Connell added: "Abu Dhabi is the last link, the stepping stone for one of the purchasers I'm speaking to, perhaps the Middle Eastern purchaser I'm speaking to, perhaps one of the others, to sign that cheque and take it over. It is the best way to showcase it." Crowd-funding is a way of asking people to invest money in businesses or projects. More than nine million investments and donations were made last year. Asked why the potential purchaser would not buy the team first, he said: "Because it has not raced, because there is a concern about what they are taking on, about the team and the commitment of the team. "It is all very well to talk about really wealthy people doing things, but this is about 200 people giving their time and energy in order to make this work. the employees are the engine of this team." F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has described the crowd-funding exercise as "a disaster", saying: "We don't want begging bowls. If people can't afford to be in Formula 1, they have to find something else to do." O'Connell said he was "really upset" about Ecclestone's remarks. Saying he was speaking to "more than two" drivers about racing in Abu Dhabi, he added: "We have planned all of this. "With the money we get from drivers with sponsorship and with huge support from a lot of other people, like (engine supplier) Renault, all our major counter-parties, are incredibly keen we are there, we survive, get through this new process, get a new backer and proceed as a properly functioning sound team." Asked why the crowd-funding money would not need to be paid to the team's creditors, he said: "The money is being raised for a particular reason, so the team can race in Abu Dhabi. "If it is not raised, it all goes back to the people who paid the money. The creditors are due their money from the assets of the company. If this team was taken over there will be much more money to go to the creditors of the company." More than 11 million were watching BBC One at 22:00 BST when Trott received her Olympic gold medal for the omnium. The same figure - 11.1 million - turned in one hour later to see Kenny, Trott's fiance, win the men's keirin. Coverage of the Rio Olympics, which run until Sunday, has also helped give BBC Four record ratings. Before Tuesday night's events, the highest viewing figures for the Rio Olympics came on Sunday. That was reached when an average of 10.4 million watched gymnast Max Whitlock receive his second gold medal. Ratings for the Rio Olympics have been generally lower compared with London 2012, due to the time difference between the UK and Brazil. In 2012, 20 million people tuned in to see Usain Bolt win the men's 100m final when it aired on 5 August at 21:50 BST.

More than two-thirds of 220 websites surveyed failed to comply with consumer protection laws such as cancellation rights and providing refunds when due. The survey was conducted by officers from 22 Scottish local authority areas. Officials described the amount of non-compliance as "worryingly high". The survey of websites, which were selling a wide range of consumer goods across the UK, was part of a project organised by the Society of Chief Officers of Trading Standards in Scotland (SCOTSS). It found that more than 50% of sites, chosen at random, failed to provide a full refund when required. More than one in four websites illegally deducted the original delivery charge from money refunded, while 43% of sites failed to inform consumers of their right to cancel. One in five added unexpected surcharges onto prices late in the buying process. SCOTSS chairman Colin Baxter said: "These are worryingly high levels of non-compliance. "These legal requirements are important for a variety of reasons: to protect online buyers, to ensure fairness and a level playing field for reputable retailers, and to ensure the smooth working of the internet marketplace. "Since the early days of e-commerce, trading standards officers have worked hard with significant success to ensure that internet sellers are complying with the law. "However, with the continuing expansion of e-commerce in the UK, new entrants are joining the market every day, many of them small micro-businesses with little experience of consumer law." He added: "It is a battle for law enforcement to keep up". The project involved an online inspection of the websites as well as officers carrying out "test purchases" to check how a consumer would be treated in practice. Purchases were also cancelled within the statutory seven-day period to test whether website operators were following their obligations in those circumstances. SCOTSS said non-compliances were followed up by officers either directly contacting the retailer involved, or referring to the trading standards service for the area where the companies were based. Yifan Zhao, a university lecturer living in England, and his wife, Guo Huimin, both appeared at Newtownards Magistrates Court, County Down. Police alleged the pair laundered more than £750,000 for a gang who smuggled "skunk" cannabis into Northern Ireland. The couple, from Longleat Court, Milton Keynes, were remanded in custody. The 35-year-old lecturer and his 34-year-old wife cried uncontrollably throughout the 20 minute hearing in Newtownards. They are jointly charged with four offences including possessing criminal property, converting criminal property - namely cash - entering a criminal arrangement to acquire criminal property and cheating the public revenue. The offences are all alleged to have taken place between 18 April 2013 and 25 March this year. A detective constable told the court that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) have been working in conjunction the National Crime Agency (NCA) in an operation that began last February. The joint operation has resulted in multiple arrests and searches in Northern Ireland and Italy, and the seizure of various items, including financial documents. The office said police had seized documents that indicated a total of £760,000 had been put through the couples' bank account, with many lodgements coming from across the UK. The lecturer claimed their money had come from his university salary and from lawful business ventures including the buying and selling of cosmetic products. A defence solicitor said his clients could be safely released if their bank accounts and assets were frozen and their passports surrendered, claiming they had made "proper tax returns". However, the detective constable said police disputed the accused's claims that they had obtained the money lawfully and alleged they were "benefitting from this smuggling operation". He said police were "strongly opposed to bail" as there was a serious risk the couple would flee the UK. To date, nine other people who were accused of involvement in the international drug plot have been charged with a range of offences including conspiracy to smuggle class B cannabis and money laundering. The smuggling charges arose after PSNI officers recovered £800,000 of strong cannabis, known as skunk, along with cash during searches in Belfast, Greenisland, Bangor, Newtownards and Ballywalter. Eight other suspects have also been questioned in Italy following raids on three cannabis factories in the Prato and Bologna areas. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Thursday there was "insufficient evidence to prosecute" the 75-year-old singer. Sir Cliff told ITV's Good Morning Britain he disliked the terminology. "Insufficient suggests that maybe there's something there and I know there wasn't," he said. "There are certain terminologies [the CPS] have to use, and in this case, they never say there is no evidence, they just say insufficient evidence." The singer said he felt like "collateral damage" resulting from the wave of police investigations into high-profile sex abuse allegations sparked by the Jimmy Savile scandal. Sir Cliff said he believed suspects in sexual abuse cases should not be publicly named unless they are formally charged and questioned if accusers should have anonymity for life. "I can understand protecting children, but my accusers are all men, grown up men. I don't see why they should be protected," he said. When the allegations first came to light in 2014, a police raid on the singer's home was shown during the BBC's initial reporting of the story. Sir Cliff said he believed the corporation knew about the raid in advance as a result of contact with South Yorkshire Police at the time. He said there "must have been illegal collusion" between the BBC and police and he believed he had a "every right to sue... definitely for gross invasion of my privacy". An independent investigation concluded in 2015 that police should not have released "highly confidential" information to the BBC about a planned search of the singer's home. The BBC and South Yorkshire Police have both apologised to Sir Cliff. The singer also said the investigation had made him rethink his attitude to fans. "I am very cagey now when I am having pictures taken with people," he said. "I don't like that feeling, because I've always had photographs taken with grandparents and their grandchildren. "That's my life, I'm a family entertainer and that's what I have done, but that's one thing I am going to have to try and get rid of." Speaking to Gloria Hunniford in a second interview broadcast by ITV on Wednesday, Sir Cliff said it had been a "costly" 22 months. When pressed further as to how much he had spent on legal fees, the singer replied: "Over a million pounds." But he added: "I can afford to do that. If you were a plumber or teacher or doctor and somebody makes a false accusation, I don't think they would have the ability to do that." Sir Cliff also spoke about the toll the process has taken on his health. "I've had in the course of this year shingles, I got hit by shingles," he said. "I got it on my face and my head." The entertainer also told Hunniford he "probably will have to" sue the BBC. "I was first against the idea of suing people who are institutions of our country... I have listened to the BBC everywhere in the world wherever I go, it's a great institution," he said. "It's the men at the top that should be sacked." An updated statement from the BBC, released on Wednesday morning, responded to Sir Cliff's suggestion that sexual abuse suspects should not be publicly named unless charged. "Deciding whether people should remain anonymous while the subject of a Police investigation is a matter for Parliament," it said. The BBC repeated its apology to Sir Cliff but also defended the initial decision to cover the story. "Police investigations into prominent figures in public life are squarely in the public interest," the statement said. Jeremy Corbyn had claimed text messages showed ministers were prepared to offer a "sweetheart deal" to the council to avoid a referendum on the rise. But Mr Javid insisted there was "no memorandum of understanding" between the government and the council. And Surrey County Council said "no deal" had been offered. The Labour leader raised the issue during Prime Minister's Questions, claiming he had seen leaked text messages intended for a Department for Communities and Local Government official called "Nick" from the leader of Surrey County Council, David Hodge. "These texts read, 'I am advised that DCLG officials... have been working on a solution and... you [will be] contacting me to agree [a memorandum of understanding],'" he said. He asked: "Will the government now publish this memorandum of understanding and, while they're about it, will all councils be offered the same deal?" Noting that Chancellor Philip Hammond and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt are both Surrey MPs, Mr Corbyn said: "But there was a second text from the Surrey County Council leader to Nick - and in the second text it says, 'The numbers you indicated are the numbers I understand are acceptable for me to accept and call off the R.' "Now, I've been reading a bit of John le Carre and apparently 'R' means referendum. It's very subtle all this." He added: "He goes on to say in his text to Nick, 'If it is possible for that info to be sent to... myself, I can then revert back soonest. Really want to kill this off.' "So how much did the government offer Surrey to kill this off and is the same sweetheart deal on offer to every council facing the social care crisis created by this government?" Business rate pilot In a statement, Mr Javid said Surrey County Council's budget and council tax "is a matter for the council", adding it "had been clear that their budget decision (setting a level of council tax which is not above the referendum threshold) was theirs alone". Under the Local Government Finance Settlement, the Department for Communities and Local Government discussed funding with councils across the country "of all types and all political colours", he said. "Whilst the final settlement has yet to be approved, the government is not proposing extra funding to Surrey County Council that is not otherwise provided or offered to other councils generally," Mr Javid said. "There is no 'memorandum of understanding' between government and Surrey County Council." He said Surrey had asked to take part in the pilot of a new business rates scheme, adding that other councils could also apply to take part. Downing Street said all conversations between the government and Surrey had been "entirely appropriate" and there was no "sweetheart deal". The proposed 15% rise was mooted by Surrey Council to cover what it said were shortfalls in funding to cover the rising costs of social care. But plans for a referendum - which are triggered if a local authority proposes a council tax rise of 5% or more - were dropped during a full council meeting on Tuesday. Councillors will now consider an alternative budget. Mr Hodge told the BBC: "There is no deal with government, there never was - end of story." The prime minister said: "The deal that is on offer to all councils is the one that I have already set out." Councils have been allowed to implement a 3% tax increase solely for social care over the next two years to plug the funding gap in this area. That is on top of a discretionary general increase of 2%, making a total of 5% before a referendum is needed. Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said he was "seeking urgent clarification" about whether Surrey had been "bought off" by the government, adding that cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham had been hit "far harder" by funding cuts. The 35-year-old former New Zealand international joined Quins in 2008 and has scored 2,024 points in 181 appearances for the Premiership club. "Nick is the consummate professional and his competitiveness still burns more than it ever has," said director of rugby Conor O'Shea. "He is a massive influence on the group and he has become a true legend in the history of Harlequins." The club have not disclosed the length of Evans' new deal at the Twickenham Stoop. Evans, who won 16 caps for the All Blacks between 2004 and 2007, helped Quins win the Amlin Challenge Cup in 2011 and the Premiership title a year later. He became the club's leading points scorer in 2013, surpassing Bob Hiller, and is fifth on the all-time list of top points scorers in the Premiership. "Harlequins has been the biggest part of my professional career and I am so proud to have been given the opportunity to continue at this great club," he said. "The potential this group of players has is incredibly exciting. I'm looking forward to being able to help the squad reach our domestic and European goals once again." David Hall, 48, stabbed Dennis Plater, 82, more than 40 times in an attack at his home in Stroud in November 2014. Bristol Crown Court heard Hall lost his temper after Mr Plater hired another gardener due to his unreliability. Hall will serve at least 18 years in prison but was told by the judge he may never be released. The court was told Hall had been paid £5 an hour to look after Mr Plater's landscaped garden. But Mr Plater decided to hire another gardener after Hall failed to turn up on a series of Mondays that had been agreed. The court was told Hall visited Mr Plater after receiving an "apologetic" message on his mobile, on 5 November 2014, telling him of the loss of his job. He stabbed him to death in his kitchen then "cleared out" more than £100 in cash from Mr Plater's home. Hall left the property, using Mr Plater's key to lock the front door, then threw the murder weapon and key into a nearby canal. Mr Plater's body was discovered the day after by his neighbour and new gardener, who used a spare key to gain entry. Hall caught a train to Portsmouth where he had moved a month earlier and was arrested by police in Southsea. At a previous hearing Hall had admitted murder, but denied it was for financial gain saying he lost his temper after Mr Plater refused to shake his hand. Judge Neil Ford QC ruled Mr Plater's killing was not financially motivated but described the attack as "an extraordinarily callous act". Jailing him for life he told Hall: "I have no doubt that when you commenced that attack you intended to kill him." Salazar has been under investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) since a BBC Panorama programme in 2015. The leaked interim report states the American has thus far failed to provide "acceptable justification for possessing testosterone" at his Nike Oregon Project (NOP) running camp. Salazar strongly denies breaking rules. The 58-year-old claims he is being "persecuted". The Usada report, hacked by the suspected Russian group Fancy Bears and passed to the Sunday Times Insight investigations team, has been seen by the BBC. According to the report, dating from March 2016, Salazar and several of his athletes have impeded Usada investigators, and "almost certainly" broke anti-doping rules over the infusion of a legal supplement L-carnitine. Media playback is not supported on this device The report also states Salazar risked the health of his athletes, including Farah, by issuing potentially harmful prescription medicines, including thyroid replacement drugs, to boost performance, despite there being no obvious medical need. But his possession of the banned anabolic steroid testosterone around the NOP athletes he coaches, first revealed by Panorama in June 2015, could also lead to him being banned from the sport. Salazar insists he has a valid prescription for the drug. The report: The allegations about Salazar's testosterone use emerged after former NOP coach Steve Magness, athlete Kara Goucher and masseur John Stiner spoke to BBC Panorama. The trio are among dozens who have been interviewed by Usada as part of its ongoing investigation. ...as of March 17, 2016, Mr Salazar's lawyer had still not provided additional documentation to Usada… [and therefore] has not established acceptable justification for possessing testosterone Rule 21.2.6 of the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) code stipulates that athlete support personnel are strictly prohibited from possessing banned drugs without "valid justification". Salazar produced a 12,000-word public response to the BBC and ProPublica's allegations, including a letter from a specialist stating he required the testosterone for his personal use because he had been diagnosed with hypogonadism, which results in low testosterone. He also said the testosterone experiment, which used his own sons as "guinea pigs", was designed to protect against his athletes being sabotaged by someone rubbing testosterone gel on them after a race so that they would test positive. According to the leaked report, five days after the Panorama programme, Usada wrote to Salazar, asking him to provide "all medical records for you referring to [a] condition for which you have been prescribed testosterone". The report states Salazar's lawyer produced seven documents in support of his condition, but concluded "the documents … do not establish Mr Salazar has suffered from hypogonadism… or that he requires testosterone replacement therapy. "Despite Usada's request that he do so, Mr Salazar has still produced no laboratory testing records, blood test data, examination notes, chart notes or differential diagnosis substantiating that Mr Salazar suffers from hypogonadism." The report states "as of March 17, 2016, Mr Salazar's lawyer had still not provided additional documentation to Usada…[and therefore] has not established acceptable justification for possessing testosterone and his admitted possession of testosterone appears to have been a violation of sport anti-doping rules". The report adds that the concerns listed above are "before even mentioning the Nike Oregon Project document which lists Galen Rupp having received 'testosterone medication' when he was a 16-year-old and being coached by Salazar, as well as Mary Decker Slaney's sanction for an elevated testosterone level while she was being coached by Salazar ." Salazar and Rupp, the London 2012 10,000m silver medallist, strongly deny any wrongdoing. In a series of emails in response to BBC questions, Salazar said he would never permit doping at the Oregon Project, and that all the allegations against him were "biased and false". "I have never rubbed any prohibited substance on Galen or any of my other athletes. These allegations and innuendo against me are malicious nonsense. I have not seen the report and the parts relayed to me are false - demonstrably false and directly refuted by documentary evidence provided to Usada." He said: "I believe I've done more than any coach to continuously disprove false allegations where no violation has occurred. While I am frustrated that for years now I have had to answer in the media the same, rehashed, false accusations, I take comfort in knowing, that actions speak louder than words. "The Oregon Project athletes continue to earn success through talent, hard work, dedication and fair play. "I voluntarily provided Usada with medical records, including blood test results, documenting that I have suffered from a diagnosed disability for more than 20 years. Usada has not requested anything additional since my last response. I find this issue very disturbing, as under US law Usada is required to make a reasonable accommodation for my disability, not persecute me. "I feel that I am not required to continually, for years and without explanation, share my very personal and private medical records with Usada over a disability that has been diagnosed by multiple doctors for decades. Any insinuation by Usada that I do not suffer from this condition is offensive to me and my treating physicians, and is inexcusable." The BBC has specifically asked Salazar on three separate occasions in recent days whether he produced any further medical evidence to Usada after 17 March, 2016 the date the leaked report was compiled. He has declined to answer this question. The leaked Usada report comes after months of speculation the agency's investigation had withered away. Nine months ago, Farah said he felt vindicated after standing by Salazar. UK Athletics had also given Farah the all clear to keep working with him following its own investigation, saying that it had "no reason to be concerned". On Thursday, it confirmed it would continue to have a close relationship with Salazar, who remains a consultant to UKA, unless he was charged with a doping offence. Farah himself, according to the report, remains under investigation over an alleged 2014 infusion of the legal supplement L-carnitine, specifically whether it breached the legal limit of 50ml. He strongly denies breaking any rules. Farah said last week that Usada should go ahead and publish its findings. It is understood the delay in publishing at least in part is because Usada is looking to the courts to force Dr Jeffrey Brown, the Nike doctor accused of conspiring with Salazar, to hand over his medical records. Dr Brown, who also denies any wrongdoing, is based in Houston, Texas, and the Texan Medical Board (TMB) is carrying out its own investigation into him. The TMB did not respond to the BBC's request for comment. Last week, Usada said: "We understand that the licensing body [TMB] is still deciding its case and as we continue to investigate whether anti-doping rules were broken, no further comment will be made at this time. "Importantly, all athletes, coaches and others under the jurisdiction of the World Anti-Doping Code are innocent and presumed to have complied with the rules unless and until the established anti-doping process declares otherwise. It is unfair and reckless to state, infer or imply differently." Salazar has been Farah's coach since 2011, and has masterminded his rise to become Britain's greatest ever distance runner with a haul of four Olympic gold medals. But questions will persist about his continuing loyalty to a man the doping authorities appear to believe has violated not just the sport's doping code, but its ethical ones too. The Dáil (Irish parliament) is still without a new leader after TDs failed to elect a taoiseach (prime minister). The Independent Alliance, five rural independents, the Green Party, and TDs Katherine Zappone and Maureen O'Sullivan will take part in the talks. Independent Thomas Pringle declined the offer. The talks come after five rural TDs held what they called a constructive meeting with acting Taosieach Enda Kenny at Dublin's Government Buildings on Wednesday. But one of their members, Denis McNaughton, said they had not yet made a decision on whether they would support any nominations for taoiseach. A second vote on nominations for taoiseach will take place on 6 April. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Naughten said Fine Gael had momentum because it has extra seats. He said he believes Fine Gael is more serious than Fianna Fáil about forming a government. Mr Naughten said the group was not closing the door with Fianna Fáil, but that they wanted to move the issue along. He said the group of independents were trying to see if they could come to some common ground on issues such as overcrowding in hospitals and the homelessness crisis. He said the "merry-go-round" has gone on long enough and that it is time for people to get on with real talks.

Lithium-air cells can store energy much more densely than today's lithium-ion batteries, making them particularly promising for electric cars. The design, published in Science, uses a spongy graphene electrode and a new chemical reaction to drive the cell. It loses much less energy and can be recharged many more times than previous attempts at lithium-air batteries. The hope for lithium-air batteries is that they will take in regular air to fuel the chemical reaction that releases electricity: lithium ions move from the positive electrode to the negative one, where they are oxidised. At present the engineers behind the new effort, at the University of Cambridge, have only made laboratory test units which operate in pure oxygen, rather than air. In a first, however, the prototypes can operate when that oxygen is moist. "What we really want is a [true] lithium-air battery - one that just takes in air, without having to remove CO2, nitrogen and water," Prof Clare Grey, the senior author on the study, told BBC News. "And now we have a system that at least tolerates a lot of water." Despite the significant progress made by Prof Grey's team, they say a commercial lithium-air battery is at least 10 years away. Their demonstration units, for example, are still rather sluggish. "Our batteries take days to charge and discharge, when you want it to happen in minutes and seconds," Prof Grey explained. But the design has major pluses. It packs in energy at a density that is almost the theoretical limit for lithium-air batteries. That energy density is what will eventually send electric cars across countries, rather than cities, on a single charge. It also charges at a voltage of 3.0 and discharges at 2.8 volts - an efficiency of 93% - meaning it loses surprisingly little energy as heat. This is close to the efficiency of current lithium-ion batteries, and a big improvement on previous lithium-air efforts. And crucially, these test batteries can be charged and recharged more than 2,000 times, with little effect on their function. "We've been able to cycle our cells for months, with very little evidence of side reactions," Prof Grey said. Part of the reason for this success is the design of the cathode, which is made from a sponge-like arrangement of graphene. This so-called "wonder material" is built up from one-atom-thick sheets of carbon. The holes in the porous cathode allow reaction products to build up, as the battery discharges, and then dissolve away again as it gets recharged. Also critical is the chemical reaction itself. Prof Grey's team has used an additive, lithium iodide, to change the chemistry at the heart of the battery. Instead of lithium peroxide (Li2O2), as in most other lithium-air designs, the discharging reaction produces lithium hydroxide (LiOH) at the cathode. And that lithium hydroxide can be completely dissolved away again, when the battery is recharged and the lithium ions return to the anode. "It's a very different chemistry; it gives a new way of thinking about it," said Prof Grey. "It's a way off being commercial, but it does provide some interesting new directions to study." Dr Paul Shearing, a chemical engineer at University College London, said the Cambridge design was "an important step" towards taking lithium-air batteries out of the lab. "It's very impressive work," he told the BBC. "Lithium air batteries [have been] plagued with problems, particularly around poor cycle life. This potentially could address those problems." If successful, Dr Shearing added, lithium-air batteries could make a huge difference because their energy density very nearly matches the energy-per-kg packed by petrol. As Prof Grey put it: "It's the energy density that's going to make that car battery that gets [from London] to Edinburgh." Follow Jonathan on Twitter

A new design for lithium-air batteries overcomes several big hurdles that have stood in the way of this concept.

Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridge City Council were the final two authorities to back the plans for the county and Peterborough. It will see a combined authority with representatives from seven councils and the local enterprise partnership chaired by a directly elected mayor. Interim leader Steve Count said it was a "significant moment". For more on this story and other Cambridgeshire news He said: "This decision... is absolutely huge for the people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. "We are talking about £600m for infrastructure, £170m for housing, we're going to be able to decide locally what to do with skills funding and this give the people an opportunity to directly elect their mayor." Cambridge City Council was the seventh and final authority to vote in favour of the deal at its full council meeting on Tuesday. The new mayor for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will have a big job in front of them - with significant powers and significant cash. Millions to spend on housing and transport are designed to help Cambridgeshire's economy grow. That's also the point of new powers over training and public transport. But before that can begin, there's the small matter of an election. Expect to hear lots from candidates and parties in the build-up to May 2017. Seventy million pounds over five years has been ring-fenced to the city council for a Cambridge Housing Plan. It will be spent on plans for more than 500 new council homes. There will be a £100m affordable housing fund over five years across the combined authority area, and a new £20m annual fund for the next 30 years to support economic growth, development of local transport infrastructure and jobs. ​Arrangements to hold elections for a mayor in May will get under way alongside setting up a shadow combined authority. Plans for devolution for Norfolk and Suffolk have been called off after West Norfolk council voted against them.

A devolution deal which could see the transfer of £800m in public funds has been agreed.

His sheep graze the slopes of the Eden Valley. Last month, when unprecedented floodwaters engulfed Cumbria, he watched 160 of them drown. On the 12th December Mr Stobart got a phone call at 08:30 to say that some of his sheep were stranded. It should have been a short drive to the field, but roads and bridges were impassable. By the time he got there several hours later, he found a lethal fast-flowing expanse of water between him and his flock. "It was awful. The sheep had been standing in the water for hours," he said. "The fire service were trying to do their best, but as we walked out they moved away from us, out in to the current. We rescued a couple but the others were swept away - it was too dangerous to try to reach them." Sheep are very vulnerable in floods, their wool becomes waterlogged and they get dragged under. "It was absolutely horrendous," he says, his eyes shining with tears. "You've worked all year to see the best out of them, and then something happens that is out of everyone's control and there's nothing you can do. It's absolutely torture to watch." Every sheep is tagged - if they are found, then James gets a call. He has some photos of the piles of mangled bodies of his sheep. "We've found about half of them. We don't know if we'll ever find the rest." Across Cumbria some 630 farms were affected by the flooding, and around 2,000 sheep drowned. Mr Stobart puts the value of his ones that he lost at £12,000. This won't put him out of business - the family has 1,300 breeding sheep. He is insured and the government has set up a Farming Recovery Fund allowing farmers to apply for emergency funding of up to £20,000 each. However, he says that he wouldn't want anyone to see animals suffering in that way. Responding to those who criticise the decision to farm in areas like this, he says. "At the end of the day, we have to eat, and that gets forgotten about." Follow Claire on Twitter. Burke, 20, made 12 appearances for Wigan last season, while 21-year-old Cullen played 46 times for Bradford. Both players join the Championship side having worked under Bolton manager Phil Parkinson at his former club Bradford. "They'll add a lot of quality to the squad and have a desire to show everybody they can play at this level," Parkinson told the club website. "It was an easy decision for me as I've worked with the gaffer before and I really enjoyed it," England Under-20 international Burke said. Central-midfielder Cullen, a Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, helped Bradford reach the League One play-off semi-final and final in the last two campaigns.

Fans had to apply for the tickets for the event via the Youth Beatz website. Dumfries and Galloway Council said all the tickets had now gone and they had been allocated to people from within the region. Other acts involved in the 2016 edition of the festival include Cascada and Bella and the Bear. Michael Williams, from the Oasis Events Team involved in organising the festival, said: "We can't believe how quickly the tickets have gone this year. "We had an idea that it would be popular with the acts we had lined up, but we couldn't guess at this much demand. "It's really good for us on the events team to see that an event like this that we're working on has so many people buzzing for it - we just can't wait for it to come round now!" Dumfries Provost Ted Thompson said the event was a great opportunity for young people to "participate in and take pride in their community". "I am delighted to announce the event has now sold out - and that this has been the quickest uptake ever," he said. "The work put in by the team organising the event has been welcomed by the young people of Dumfries and Galloway and sets the stage for another fantastic day. "Speaking on behalf of the Nithsdale Area Committee which has part funded Youth Beatz, making it the largest free event in Scotland and open to all young people in the region, we are pleased to see this investment has been received so warmly and I am really looking forward to the event." The 55-year-old victim suffered serious injuries in the attack at the Dixon Blazes industrial estate in the Gorbals area at about 06:00 on Thursday. She was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where her condition was said to be stable. Police Scotland said a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal. The man is expected to appear in court on Monday. Shaukat Ali Cheema, a senior steward with Pakistan International Airlines, was arrested at Birmingham Airport in March. Dozens of passports and driving licences were found in his underwear. The 59-year-old admitted seven counts of possessing false identity documents at Birmingham Crown Court. Border Force officers found the documents, which also included passport bio-data pages, in specially constructed pockets sewn into the lining of the underwear. Dawn Cartwright, from the National Crime Agency, said they were intended for people based in Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Spain and Pakistan. She said fake passports and driving licences were a serious concern, as they could be used by criminals to avoid detection. Grimmer, who has had two previous stays at the League One club, is in the final year of his contract at Fulham. The 22-year-old Scot played seven times on loan in 2014, before helping the club stay in League One last term. Ebanks-Blake, 30, has scored 10 goals in 33 League One games for the Spireites since signing in June 2015. The former Manchester United trainee has had spells with six clubs, including Plymouth and Wolves, where he found the net 64 times in 193 appearances. Grimmer provided one of the highlights of Town's 2015-16 season when he scored in the ninth minute of injury time to beat Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup and earn a fifth-round tie against Manchester United.

A post-mortem examination found he died from a single shotgun wound to the back, Merseyside Police said. A family tribute said he was "the love of our life" and was "so kind and gentle..always giving hugs out." "Most people wait years to find their soul mate but the day our Lewis was born was the day our hearts and souls were complete," it added. The statement said Lewis "had values that weren't compromised by anything" and "he was deep and he was sensitive. He was not just academically smart, he was wise." A murder investigation was launched on Monday and police divers trawled a nearby canal for evidence. The teenager's family appealed for any witnesses to come forward, saying "our family is broken". Detectives have retrieved CCTV footage of the surrounding area. The new "backpacker tax" proposal is lower than the government's original plan for a 32.5% rate, which angered tourism and farming operators. They feared taxing temporary workers 32.5 cents on every dollar would make it unattractive to come to Australia. About 600,000 backpackers travel to Australia every year, many of them finding work picking fruit. At present backpackers, like Australian workers, do not pay any tax until their yearly income exceeds A$18,200 (£11,000, $13,500). Treasurer Scott Morrison said the government had reached a compromise deal with independent crossbenchers. "Today the government will be working to put in place a bill which will propose 15% on the backpackers' arrangement," he said in Canberra on Monday. "We will honour the arrangement that we've come to with Senator (Nick) Xenophon and we appreciate his continued support on this, as well as Senator (Derryn) Hinch." The announcement comes after more than a year of political manoeuvring between the government, opposition and minor parties. Last week, independent senator Jacqui Lambie's proposal for a 10.5% tax rate was blocked by the House of Representatives. Government MP Andrew Broad broke ranks on the weekend to suggest a 15% rate, declaring the issue had to be settled before the new year. Mr Morrison said lowering the rate to 15% would cost the Australian budget A$120m over four years. The opposition said it continued to support a 10.5% tax like New Zealand, arguing Australia risked turning away working holiday-makers. "When European backpackers look towards Australia and New Zealand ... they just look at the headline rate," said opposition agriculture spokesman Joel Fitzgibbon. Australia granted 214,830 working holiday visas in 2014-15. British citizens, the programme's biggest constituency, were granted 44,730 visas. Australian working holiday visas cost a minimum of A$440 (£250, $355). Writing to a House of Lords committee, Mr Davis said 40% of his team in last month's round of talks had been women. Committee members had said photos showing a largely male line-up were "a disgrace" and "shameful". Mr Davis said the government strived to make the civil service "representative of modern-day Britain". In his letter to the House of Lords EU Committee, he said the personnel involved would "vary from round to round as we deploy the best available staff for each issue under negotiation". He also said 52% of all staff at his Department for Exiting the EU (DExEU) were women. "I will also continue to work for the best possible deal for the UK during these negotiations, and that means using the best expertise we have available to support the negotiation in DExEU and across Whitehall, regardless of gender or any other factor," he added. Gender balance questions were raised last month, when Mr Davis appeared before the committee, with Labour member Baroness Kennedy demanding to know how many women were in the negotiating team. Labour MPs then wrote to Prime Minister Theresa May, urging her to review the line-up and warning the talks were becoming "just another job for the boys". Formal Brexit negotiations are under way, with the UK scheduled to leave the EU in March 2019. Mr Davis's former chief of staff, meanwhile, has described Brexit as the "biggest calamity" facing the UK since World War Two. In a series of tweets, James Chapman called for "sensible" MPs to join forces to reverse the process, if necessary by forming a new party. He said businesses would "flee" the UK once it left and "revenues collapse". Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage tweeted: "Which side was Mr Chapman really working for in the Brexit department?" Bridger was jailed for life in May 2013 for the murder of five-year-old April. Convicted murderer Juvinal Ferreira, 24, attacked him with a knife made from a razor at Wakefield Prison in July 2013. BBC Wales understands the Ministry of Justice is contesting the claim and no decision has been made. Ferreira was given a second life term and had his minimum term of 22 years increased by five years for attacking Bridger. Bridger, 48, abducted April as she played with friends near her home in Machynlleth in October 2012. The little girl's body has never been found, but blood and fragments of bone consistent with a young human skull were found at the house he rented nearby. The detached cottage in Ceinws, Powys, has been bought by the Welsh government for £149,000 and will be knocked down. As frightened partygoers looked on, the gang left a scrawled message at the scene, announcing the arrival of a new, breakaway drug cartel called La Familia Michoacana, and walked out as coolly as they had entered. For many, it represented a shocking new degree of brutality by the country's drug traffickers. It made headlines around the world. Francisco Castellanos is the correspondent for the respected Mexican magazine, Proceso, in Michoacan. He sees the 2006 beheadings as a game-changing moment in the conflict: "The five were local drug dealers in Uruapan", he says in an email from the embattled Pacific state, adding that the hastily-written threat left at the crime scene spoke of "divine justice". "It generated great fear and terror", remembers Mr Castellanos, "and then investors started to leave for more secure areas." Coded killings "In the 1990s, the cartels didn't cut the heads off their victims", says Samuel Gonzalez Ruiz, a former advisor to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. "They used different codes of murder which were more or less established between the criminals," Mr Gonzalez Ruiz says. He tells of a well-known hitman who sent out messages by the different ways he shot his victims. A bullet to the back of the head, for example, meant the victim was a traitor, a bullet to the temple signified he was a member of a rival gang. Now, however, beheading is a tactic often employed by Mexican drug organisations, in particular by the vast criminal network Los Zetas and their two main rivals, the Gulf Cartel and the Sinaloa Cartel. Such a violent form of execution is generally associated with the sort of radical Islamist groups who killed US journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or British civil engineer Kenneth Bigley in Iraq. Cult of death But the Mexican context is very different, says Mr Gonzalez Ruiz. He argues the practice comes from Guatemala: "In 2000, the Zetas began to extend their reach into Central America, and they incorporated into their ranks members of the elite jungle squad, the Kaibiles." "The Kaibiles had been trained in using decapitation to threaten the local population since the times of the country's dirty war (1960-1996)." Others see links to a religious cult popular with the drug gangs called La Santa Muerte, or Holy Death. Some commentators have even drawn comparisons to pre-Columbian human sacrifices by the Aztec and the Mayan civilisations. Wherever it stems from, the gruesome practice is now a staple in the lexicon of violence of the drug cartels in Mexico. This month has been perhaps the worst in terms of decapitations. In the past 10 days alone, there have been an unprecedented 81 beheaded bodies discovered in the country. In early May, 14 decapitated bodies were found in Nuevo Laredo, just over the border from Texas. Last week, 18 bodies and severed heads were left in two mini-vans near Lake Chapala, an area popular with tourists in western Mexico. Finally, in one of the most shocking incidents of its kind since the current drug war began, 49 headless and mutilated bodies were left in plastic bags on a road outside the industrial city of Monterrey. 'Intimidating civilians' So, beyond the obvious, what are the cartels trying to achieve by butchering their victims in this way? For the government, it was intended as an uncompromising message of fear and intimidation. These "reprehensible acts" were designed to "sow fear among the civilian population and the authorities", said Interior Minister Alejandro Poire the day after the Monterrey atrocity. It was the result of a dispute between the Zetas and the Gulf Cartel, the minister said, before repeating the government's offer of a substantial reward for information on the whereabouts of the cartels' leaders. But for Mr Gonzalez Ruiz, a former State Attorney on Organised Crime, the beheadings also had a clear political dimension. "The message is clear: we have no mercy, and we will do whatever it takes to control our territory," he says. ' Terrorist strategy' The timing is particularly important, he adds, coming just six weeks before a presidential election in the country. "It's partly a message to the presidential candidates, most of whom have said they won't negotiate with the drug cartels." But it also has a wider, more frightening message of intimidation against ordinary people in cities like Monterrey. Mr Gonzalez Ruiz uses a word the government has been loathe to use in association with the country's drug violence: terrorism. "You can only call this strategy (of beheading the victims) a terrorist's strategy. It's terrorism because it sends a threat to the population: 'if you don't allow us to control our illegal business, we will do the same to you'." Thinly veiled messages of intimidation aside, the recent atrocities are a grisly reminder of the extent of the cartels' power in Mexico, and the lengths to which they are prepared to go to hold onto it. The airport received a £10m loan to improve its terminal and the Welsh government has also agreed a further £13m loan for route development. The UK government said Welsh ministers were in the process of providing assurances the loans are in order. A Welsh government source said the warning was "politically motivated". Both loans have to be repaid with interest over the next decade. The airline Flybe announced in June it was opening a new base operating 11 flights out of Cardiff - the biggest boost to the airport since it was bought by the Welsh government in 2013. 1 million airport passengers each year £52m spent by Welsh government to buy it £10m loan to improve terminal building £13m loan to develop routes 50 direct routes BBC Wales has seen a leaked letter outlining how £12m is due to be spent on marketing support for the Flybe routes over the next three years. A leaked letter from a senior official at the Department for Transport (DfT) in London to a senior Welsh government official, in June, says that if the European Commission was to look at the loans it "would deem them not to be compliant with European Commission state aid rules for aviation". In the letter, the official at the DfT, which has responsibility for state-aid issues, also expresses concern about repayment of the loans and the forecast of future passenger numbers. Both are connected because most of the money is to be repaid from airport charges to airlines and extra money spent in the terminal due to increasing passenger numbers. Flybe says the new and expanded routes are expected to generate half a million extra passengers over the next 12 to 18 months. But the DfT official says the independent consultancy York Aviation suggested the airline's predictions are likely to have been overestimated by around a fifth. "There does not appear to have been rigorous consideration of the risks involved around delivering the projected return, the passenger figures only need to be 2.2% below forecast for the deal to be loss making," the letter said. The letter also said that, were 87% of the loan to be repaid from passenger spending in the terminal, it "is likely to be considered a direct subsidy to the airport". The latest figures from the Civil Aviation Authority show that the number of passengers rose by 12% in June, compared with June 2014, partially as a result of the impact of the new Flybe services. It follows a previous decline in passenger numbers - they fell by 38,000 (3.6%) during 2014 to just over one million. A source at the Welsh government has accused the DfT of putting up "politically motivated obstacles" to the airport. In a statement, the Welsh government said: "As a pro-business government, the agreement of commercial loans with businesses is neither novel nor outside of the usual range of Welsh government practice. "In this regard, Cardiff Airport is being treated no differently to any other commercial organisation." Cardiff Airport managing director Debra Barber added: "We wish to point out that the York Aviation report to which you refer was an early draft, which has subsequently been corrected by them. "Having taken independent legal advice in connection with these loans and their uses, we are confident there are no state aid issues." The Welsh government has also released a copy of a letter from one of its senior officials in response to the DfT saying the mentioned figures in the York Aviation report are incorrect and now out of date. It says the terms and conditions of the loan for route development have not been confirmed and appropriate details are being finalised. "I would wish to challenge the inference that (the) Welsh government exercises undue influence over the Cardiff Airport company, its borrowing and business plans," the letter states. "The airport company operates on a commercial basis and at arm's-length from government - commercial and operating decisions, including levels of borrowing and its business plans are a matter for its board." However, the leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies said there were "serious questions" for the Welsh government to answer. "The Welsh Government must issue categorical assurances that no breach of EU rules has occurred, including publishing any relevant paperwork," he said. "Otherwise they risk leaving the impression that the rules may have been bent to support the commercial activities of a company owned wholly by them." A DfT spokesman said: "The Welsh government is in the process of providing assurances to the UK government that it is complying with European Union state aid rules on funding provided to airports or airlines." Warren Gatland's Lions will play three Tests against New Zealand as part of a 10-game series in June and July. The previous tour to New Zealand in 2005 included eleven fixtures - seven against provincial second-tier sides "Last time they played provincial sides now they are playing professional Super Rugby sides," Hoeata said. He continued: "[They are also playing] the Maori All Blacks who have an amazing international record. It will be extremely difficult." Media playback is not supported on this device Hoeata, 34, began playing professionally with provincial outfit Taranaki the season after the 2005 tour. Since then he played three times for the All Blacks and later joined the Cardiff Blues. "I can just remember it being awesome. A year after that was my first proper professional contract. I had just missed out on playing against the Lions as my club Taranaki played them too," he said. "It was cool to watch but it would have been awesome to be involved with. I remember the huge buzz around New Zealand." During the 2005 tour, the New Zealand Maori side beat the British and Irish Lions 19-13 and both sides will face each other once again on 17 June this year. Second-rower Hoeata played for the representative side more than half a dozen times during his time in his native country. Hoeata, alongside the likes of scrum-half Aaron Smith, back-rower Liam Messam and hooker Dane Coles, have worn for the Maori shirt as well as the national team's jersey. "The Maoris are a very proud team and stacked with Super Rugby players as well," he continued. "They beat the Lions last time. They beat England, I played in that game and they beat Ireland [both in 2010]" the loose forward added. There are doubts over the fitness of All Blacks Coles, captain Kieran Read and back-rower Jerome Kaino for the Lions' tour. If those two are missing it will be a big loss for them," Hoeata said. "They [the All Blacks] have some good young guys coming through but with those guys you need their experience against a tough Lions outfit. "I think if they get those two guys back it would be a huge bonus for them." The families represent victims who died when a German commander ordered the attack on two fuel tankers stolen by insurgents. The families are seeking 3.3m euros (£2.8m; $4.3m) from the German government. In 2010, the German defence ministry paid out $430,000 to victims' families. At the time, German authorities labelled the payment as humanitarian aid and said it did not constitute an acceptance of legal responsibility. The attack on the tankers happened near the northern Afghan town of Kunduz. At least 90 people were killed, though a lawyer for the Afghan families contends that 137 people were killed. Many of the victims were women and children trying to siphon fuel as the tankers had been abandoned. The incident triggered a major political controversy in Germany, leading to the resignation of the then-Defence Minister Franz Josef Jung and the dismissal of army chief Wolfgang Schneiderhan. Germany's parliament described it as "one of the most serious incidents involving the German army since the Second World War". The hearing at a court in the western city of Bonn on Wednesday focused on two claims. One is a father seeking 40,000 euros after the death of two of his children and the other is a widowed mother-of-six whose claim amounts to 50,000 euros. The German government attempted to have the case thrown out, arguing that the air strike was under the command of Nato, and Berlin alone could not be blamed. "The federal republic of Germany is not the right respondent. The conditions (for a lawsuit) have not been fulfilled," said government lawyer Mark Zimmer. However, presiding judge Heinz Sonnenberger agreed to hear the lawsuit. He said that the case would hinge on whether the plaintiffs could prove state liability for the loss of life. "We will have to review whether international humanitarian law has been violated," he told the court. Peter Derleder, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said he felt confident after the first day of the hearing. "The court did not rule out a claim based on a violation of international law," he said. "There should have been a warning flight to put civilians on alert." The court will resume hearing the case on 17 April. About 4,400 German troops remain in northern Afghanistan, carrying out mainly training and reconstruction roles, though their number is being gradually reduced. PC Lisa Bates lost a finger, suffered a deep wound to her head, a fractured skull and a smashed ankle during the attack in Sheffield in April. Nathan Sumner, 35, was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent but was cleared of attempted murder in October. Sentencing Sumner at Sheffield Crown Court, Judge Julian Goose QC said he had mounted a "sustained attack". Read more about this and other stories from across South Yorkshire PC Bates and a fellow officer, PC Mark Garrett, were responding to a reported disturbance at Sumner's flat on Plowright Close when they were attacked. She told the court during Sumner's trial he had shouted aggressively as he answered the door and then attacked PC Garrett. PC Bates was then attacked with the axe but was eventually pulled to safety by a neighbour of Sumner. Sumner fled the scene and was arrested later in a supermarket where, wearing only a pair of shorts, he had smashed bottles and thrown things at shoppers and staff members. The court heard he had suffered from a psychotic episode. David Brooke, for Sumner, said he was "profoundly ill at the time" and was full of "remorse" for his actions. Prosecutor Samuel Green read a statement on behalf of PC Bates to the court. "The events of that day changed my life forever," she said. "Scarring to my leg and hand acts as a constant reminder of what happened. "I continue to suffer from dizziness, headaches, nausea, nightmares and flashbacks. "I am suffering from a loss of earnings and I have had to cancel both my wedding and honeymoon. "It's only through luck and good fortune that I survived." Sumner was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with an extended sentence of five years, and was also given a hospital order. McInerney created the Irish blog Arse End of Ireland about a council estate in her native Galway. McInerney's The Glorious Heresies will compete with Gavin McCrea's Mrs Engels and Julia Rochester's The House at the Edge of the World. The winner, named on 22 June, will receive £10,000. Former winners include Anjali Joseph and Nikita Lalwani. The prize is named after the acclaimed publisher and literary agent, who nurtured authors such as Jilly Cooper and Anthony Horowitz. He died in 2003 at the age of 73. The judges said the three nominees "delivered books that belied their position as debut authors". Chairman Iain Pears added: "These are hugely ambitious, complex, confident works by three extremely talented writers and it is wonderful that the Desmond Elliott Prize exists to help them reach the wide audience they so richly deserve." McInerney, who calls herself the "Sweary Lady", is known for her no-nonsense depictions of the harsh realities of working class life in her homeland, exemplified by her now-defunct blog, started in 2006. Carrying on the themes of social "grime" in her novel, it is set in post-economic crash Ireland and features drug dealers, young love and a gangster's mother who is every bit as violent as her offspring. The book has also been shortlisted for the 2016 Baileys women's prize for fiction. The Desmond Elliott judges called the book a "many-storied edifice, gritty, witty and wise, linguistically dazzling and metaphorically intoxicating". Fellow Irish writer McCrea's Mrs Engels is also a story of Irish hardship set in 1870 and focuses on the middle-aged mill worker Lizzie who dreams of a new life of comfort, pinning her hopes on her wealthy mill owner lover becoming her husband. The judges called McCrea a "ringmaster and recorder" of the novel's colourful events and characters. "His is a narrative canvas as eventfully crowded as it is richly meaningful," they added. Rochester, who was on the longlist for the Bailey's prize, hails from Devon but now lives in London. Her book, The House at the Edge of the World, is set in her childhood landscape and centres around the individuals of a family battling to escape the embarrassment of the drunken death of the husband and father and the claustrophobia of the crumbling family home. The judges called the novel "a slow-burning psychological drama within a momentous tale of flaring sibling love". "Here the writer's plot, and the reader's pleasure, lies in impeccably mapping a mystery of the human heart," they said. Last year's winner was Claire Fuller for her book Our Endless Numbered Days. The woman told The BBC's Nolan Show it was evident there were "opportunities for fraud" in the scheme. She said she contacted Arlene Foster, the then enterprise minister, in 2013 to warn about the issue. Mrs Foster has told UTV News that she "did all that was appropriate in the circumstances". The energy scheme, Renewable Heat Initiative (RHI), was meant to encourage users to switch to biomass heating systems. 1, 946 applications were approved under the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme - a 98% approval rate. 984 of them were received in just three months - September, October and November 2015 - after officials announced plans to cut the subsidy but before the change took effect. The assembly's Public Accounts Committee was told that a subsequent independent audit had found issues at half the 300 installations inspected. 14 of these fell into the most serious category where fraud was suspected. Payments to five of these 14 sites have been suspended. It was run by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI). BBC Spotlight reported on Tuesday that concerns were expressed about the scheme to Mrs Foster in 2013. Mrs Foster passed the concerns on to civil servants. The warnings pointed out that the scheme paid out more in subsidies than the fuel cost, meaning users could earn more money by burning more fuel. The scheme was closed earlier this year after a huge spike in applications in late 2015 broke the budget. SDLP leader Colum Eastwood has called for Mrs Foster to appear before a Stormont committee to explain her position, while UUP leader Mike Nesbitt has said she should consider her position as first minister. The whistleblower said she initially contacted DETI with her concerns after researching online. The woman, who runs a heating company, said she had contacted Mrs Foster in 2013 and the department in 2014 and 2015, but her warnings were not acted on. "It felt like I was hitting a brick wall," she said. "It took five minutes of a just a normal person looking online to realise it wasn't right," she said, She said she later went to Mrs Foster, who asked her to meet energy officials. The whistleblower said she told them in October 2013 that people were "basically being incentivised to have the heat on and kept on". "Their total answer to me and leaving comment was 'we don't think people will do that'. I said they will and they are, because that's what's happening on the ground." She said she had visited businesses who left the heating system on constantly because "the more they heated, the more money they made". "I would go into hotels, maybe care homes, and it would be 24 degrees outside, the heat's still on and the windows are open." The whistleblower added: "I went into an office one time, not that long ago, and they (the business) were tenants. It was really warm, they had the windows open. Basically the landlord was just heating all the time." She described the scheme was "madness" but said you "can't really blame those people when it's made attractive to them in that way". The woman said after the initial meeting, she emailed the department again in 2014 to follow up and spoke to a different official in charge of the scheme. She emailed again in March 2015 and asked the department if it would cap or tier the scheme's subsidies. These cost controls have been used in a similar scheme in Great Britain to avoid users being paid more for burning more fuel. She said the department told her tiered funding "may be introduced at a later date as a budgetary control measure". "It really annoyed me, I just assumed I was going the right route," she added. "I think there should be better processes in place for genuine whistleblowers. I know you get a lot of whistleblowers who do not know the facts, but it looked very simple to me." Dunbar, 25, suffered a posterior thigh strain during Glasgow's European Champions Cup win over Racing 92 and will be out "for the coming weeks". Ashe, 22, requires further treatment on a shoulder injury and will also miss Scotland's matches against England on 6 February and Wales a week later. Dunbar, who has 14 caps, was a likely starter against England if fit. It is the latest setback to affect his Test career, after rupturing knee ligaments in training before last year's Calcutta Cup match and missing the World Cup last autumn as a result. His Glasgow team-mate Mark Bennett is another injury concern, with Scotland coach Vern Cotter rating the outside centre's chances as no better than 50-50 as he recovers from a shoulder problem. With Dunbar ruled out, Edinburgh's Matt Scott is likely to start at inside centre in the Calcutta Cup match a week on Saturday, with Saracens' Duncan Taylor in contention to join him in midfield. Glasgow's Ashe, who has won six caps but missed the cut for the World Cup, can play at blind-side flanker or number eight and was one of seven back-rowers named in Scotland's Six Nations squad. With Ryan Wilson omitted, Josh Strauss is the only other player in the squad with extensive experience of playing blind-side, although John Barclay has also operated there for Scarlets this season. Head coach Vern Cotter may choose to start with two specialist open-sides against England, a tactic he employed against Australia in their World Cup quarter-final, when John Hardie and Blair Cowan both started. Adults, while valuing the diversity around them, were also found to gravitate towards "people like us". The study of social interactions was conducted in three London primary schools situated in diverse areas. But it found that out of school, children tended to spend time with those who were similar to them. The researchers from University College London's Institute of Education (IoE) and the University of Surrey wanted to find out if living in a diverse area meant local populations also had diverse friendship groups. The researchers conducted 114 interviews with children in Year 4 (aged eight to nine), their parents, school governors and staff and spent some 300 hours observing social interactions in the classroom, playground and at school events. They also looked at children's drawings of their friendship networks. Nearly all the children taking part in the survey had friendships across different ethnic groups and class backgrounds, but when asked about best friends there were fewer across different social classes. Things were different outside the classroom, the report said, because their parents "managed their friendships out of school". It warned this could reinforce cultural and particularly social differences, as children tended to spend time after school with those who were similar to them. Prof Carol Vincent from UCL said: "When it comes to playdates, there may be concern among parents about trust and safety. "Some spoke of being unsure about things such as the degree of parental supervision and the food their children would be given in another parent's house". Yet the vast majority of parents, the report found, "voiced approval of the diversity of the areas in which they lived" and some had specifically chosen the school because of its diversity. Even so, in their own friendships both in and out of school, the parents were found to mix less than their children with people from different backgrounds. "When we discussed with the parent participants why the degree of adult mixing across difference was small, they responded that making friendly overtures to people who were different involved considerable effort and risked social awkwardness," the researchers said. "Making friends with 'people like me' appeared to offer shared interests, a basis for trust and points of reference from the start." The study also found that, as with the children, class was a more formidable barrier than ethnicity. "The adult friendships that were made across the difference were, like those of the children, more likely to cross ethnic difference than to cross class difference," the report said. Some parents said they would like their friendship groups to be as mixed as their children's, but expressed "social embarrassment, under-confidence and awkwardness about approaching people from different ethnic and cultural groups". Even with adults tending to be friends with people similar to themselves, the researchers concluded that primary schools still remained key sites in which social interactions took place. "The adult participants found school to be a source of friendship for themselves, as well as their children," the study said. They said even a friendly "Hi, how are you?" between parents was felt to be important in creating a positive atmosphere at school. Over the centuries, Georgia was the object of rivalry between Persia, Turkey and Russia, before being eventually annexed by Russia in the 19th century. Since emerging from the collapsing Soviet Union as an independent state in 1991, Georgia has again become the arena of conflicting interests. Increasing US economic and political influence in the country has long been a source of concern for neighbouring Russia, as have Georgia's aspirations to join NATO and the EU. Tense relations with Russia have been further exacerbated by Moscow's support for the separatist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Population 4.3 million Area 69,700 sq km (26,911 sq miles) Major languages Georgian, Russian widely spoken Major religion Christianity Life expectancy 71 years (men), 77 years (women) President: Giorgi Margvelashvili Giorgi Margvelashvili took office in November 2013, bringing to an end the decade-long presidency of charismatic reformer Mikhail Saakashvili. Mr Margvelashvili, a former philosophy lecturer, assumed a weakened role because constitutional changes that come into force with his inauguration transferred a raft of key powers from the president to the prime minister. Prime Minister: Giorgi Kvirikashvili Giorgi Kvirikashvili took over as prime minister following the sudden resignation of his predecessor Irakli Garibashvili in December 2015. Both men belong to the Georgian Dream coalition, which was founded by billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili and drove the party of then President Mikheil Saakashvili from power in parliamentary elections in 2012. Many observers suspect Mr Ivanishvili continues to run the show from the sidelines - an accusation he denies. Television is the main source of news, and accounts for the lion's share of the advertising market. There are dozens of cable operators and a handful of major commercial stations. Newspaper readership is generally low. Government-funded Georgian Public Broadcasting has replaced the former state radio and TV. The state has relinquished other media assets, including newspapers and a news agency. The constitution provides for freedom of speech, and journalists often criticise officials. US-based Freedom House says Georgia "has the freest and most diverse media landscape in its region," although "objective news is only available from a few sources." Some key dates in Georgia's modern history: 1801-04 - Most of present-day Georgia becomes part of the Russian Empire. 1879 - History's best-known Georgian, future Soviet leader Iosif Dzhugashvili (Joseph Stalin), is born in the town of Gori. 1918 - Independent Georgian state declared in wake of Russian Revolution. 1921 - Red Army invades, Georgia absorbed into emerging Soviet Union. 1956 - Protests against Soviet leader Nikita Krushchev's de-Stalinisation policy turn violent and prompt calls for secession from the USSR; they are brutally crushed by Soviet forces. 1989 - Demands for more autonomy in the South Ossetia region lead to violent clashes between Georgians and Ossetians. Soviet - later Russian - peacekeepers are deployed. 1991 - Georgian parliament declares secession from the Soviet Union after independence is overwhelmingly supported in a referendum. 1993 - Separatists drive Georgian troops driven out of almost all of Abkhazia, which becomes an internationally unrecognised breakaway state under Russian tutelage. 2008 - Georgia is drawn into a war in breakaway South Ossetia, which sees Russian forces intervene and evict Georgia's forces from its remaining areas of control in the region, as well as Abkhazia. Stopping smoking or reducing excess drinking will be on the wish list for many, but you are unlikely to hear friends and family announce they have decided to quit a gambling habit. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average household in the UK spent £166 last year on having a flutter, a fairly large sum when budgets are squeezed. That is up 50 pence on the previous year. It is 60 pence more a week than the average household spent on going to the cinema, theatre or museums combined (but still £1.40 a week less than they spent on their pets). The vast majority of betting is well within the limits of the amount people can afford to lose, and the thrill of the game is sufficient reward. So when does this financial fun become expensive excess? About two-thirds of adults will have a bet in the course of the year. Sources: Health and Social Care Information Centre; ONS That includes 68% of men and 61% of women, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre's (HSCIC) 2012 Health Survey for England. If that seems quite high, the explanation is a gambling game that was launched in the UK 20 years ago. For a stake of £1, the main National Lottery draw gave players a long-shot chance of becoming a millionaire. The price of a ticket has recently risen to £2. This is by far the most popular form of gambling in the country, ahead of scratch cards and betting on horse racing, according to the HSCIC report. Excluding those who only played the lottery, 46% of men and 40% of women had gambled in the previous 12 months, the survey suggested. Two other developments, in addition to the lottery, have arguably brought gambling further into the mainstream. The first is the opportunity for operators of casinos and bookmakers to advertise on television and radio since the market was liberalised in 2007. Research for communications regulator Ofcom found that the total number of gambling advertisement spots shown on television increased from 152,000 in 2006 to 1.39 million in 2012. The largest number of adverts were about bingo, which research suggests is more popular among women than many other forms of gambling. The second development is the advance of online gambling. Smartphones and tablet computers have allowed people to gamble at any time of day without having to leave their own homes. Many of these websites and apps have also developed chat rooms or communities to allow players to interact, with some listing the acronyms for players to use in text-message-style language. "Younger people are trying out new things. They are comfortable with the technology, but they do not understand the risks," says Dirk Hansen, chief executive of GamCare, which runs a helpline and forums for those who are getting into difficulty. Fewer than one in 100 people in England are "problem gamblers", according to the HSCIC survey. Problem gambling is defined as "gambling to a degree which compromises, disrupts or damages family, personal or recreational pursuits". Among the symptoms they can face are insomnia and depression. GamCare, which receives 35,000 calls and messages a year from gamblers, says the effects impact on the lives of those around problem gamblers, at home and at work. That was certainly the case for Justyn Larcombe, 44, a former major in the Army, who seemed to have it all, then lost it. "I was at the peak of my career [in financial services]. I had a lovely house, I drove a Porsche, we had lovely holidays with our two young children. We had everything we wanted," he says. His first bet was a £5 wager on the outcome of a rugby match he was watching at home, "which unfortunately I won", he says. It did not take long for him to become a compulsive gambler, first on sports bets and later on online roulette. He admits he had the personality that meant he hated to lose, so he started to chase his losses, but he also had time to fill. He found he did not have money for the grocery bills, he was juggling 12 payday loans and had heavy borrowing on credit cards. That meant a rush on payday to transfer funds before they disappeared on repaying debts. "I would be standing outside in the freezing cold in my dressing gown at two o'clock in the morning ringing my bank asking them to transfer money into my betting account, rather than payday lenders getting it, or it going out on direct debits," he says. The only release when he was in that emotional spiral, he says, was another bet. His lowest point came when his wife left having found his bank statement. He owed five months' rent and was about to be evicted. He sold wedding gifts and the rings she left and blew it almost instantly. "I just had a black bin liner of clothes left to my name after 43 years of my life. Over the course of three years, I probably lost £750,000, I lost my house, my job, but most of all I had lost the trust my wife had in me," he says. He turned his life around after feeling humiliated in front of his mother, whom he went to stay with. GamCare says that those at risk of developing a problem are those who have a history of gambling in the family or those who start at a young age. One in 20 men aged between 16 and 24 are at moderate risk or are already considered to be problem gamblers, according to the HSCIC report. Mr Larcombe believes that the abundance of advertising is one of the reasons that people get drawn into a gambling problem, as well as the access to online websites day and night. However, the industry says advertising is still regulated carefully. GamCare suggests that anyone who finds themselves in trouble should always talk to somebody. Each website has a page about gambling responsibly and, when registering, players can set limits on the amount of time and money they spend on the site. For those going into bookmakers, staff are trained to spot and assist anyone who is showing signs of going over the top, according to Peter Craske, of the Association of British Bookmakers. He says the industry is also introducing a new code of practice to ensure people are betting responsibly. "We can do more and we will do more," he says. With eight million people visiting a betting shop every year, including an increasing number of women, it is clear that everyone needs to keep their head and not bet beyond their means. The Forestry Commission wants to release the animals into a 16-acre area by the Greathough Brook, near Brierley. It is hoped they will dam the stream to create new wildlife habitats and reduce the flood risk around Lydbrook. Beavers were hunted to near-extinction for their highly valuable fur and oil, but have survived in captivity. Their reintroduction, as part of a three-year trial, would be be the first time the animals have been seen in the Forest for 400 years. In other areas of the UK where beavers live wild some farmers have complained of damage to their land, but the Forestry Commission says there is no chance of that happening in the Forest. "The trial here is going to be fenced to stop boar getting in and stop the beavers getting out," said spokesman Kevin Stannard. "We are well embedded on the public forest estate so there is, I would say, absolutely no chance of the beavers escaping, or if they do escape, getting out onto surrounding farmland." The report, published in the Lancet, showed shutting the markets cut the number of new cases of H7N9 bird flu by 97%. It said the future of the markets, a millennia-old culture in China, needed to be reassessed. Experts said the markets can become a reservoir of viruses. There have been 137 cases of H7N9 bird flu and 45 deaths, according to the World Health Organization. However, most were in the months immediately after the virus was found to be moving from infecting animals to people. Live poultry markets rapidly became linked with the outbreak. Nearly 800 markets were then shut across Shanghai, Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Nanjing. It allowed scientists to analyse the role of the markets in the spread of the virus. Dr Benjamin Cowling, one of the researchers at the University of Hong Kong, said: "Our findings confirm that live poultry market closure is a highly effective intervention to prevent human disease and protect public health. "Without this robust evidence, policymakers would struggle to justify further closures of live poultry markets because of the millennia-old culture of trading live birds and the potential huge economic loss on the poultry industry in China." The Lancet report said the markets should be "rapidly" closed in areas where the bird flu emerged and that discussions on the role of the markets "should be renewed". Guillaume Fournie and Dirk Pfeiffer, of the Royal Veterinary College in the UK, said: "If birds spend a sufficient amount of time in live poultry markets to become infected and transmit the virus to other susceptible birds, sustained virus circulation in the live poultry markets can occur. "Live poultry markets can then become a permanent source of infection for poultry flocks and for people who are in loose contact with infected poultry." Two cases of H7N9 bird flu have been reported in October. Dr Cowling said: "These are the first laboratory-confirmed cases of H7N9 this autumn, five months after the outbreak earlier in 2013. "This is of great concern because it reveals that the H7N9 virus has continued to circulate and now has the potential to re-emerge in a new outbreak of human disease this winter." The New South Wales player, 22, took six wickets for just 14 runs as his state team beat Queensland. NSW coach Trevor Bayliss praised Abbott's "character" and said the team were "over the moon" for the player. The match took place at Sydney Cricket Ground, the venue where Abbott bowled the ball that led to the death of Hughes, 25, last month. Abbott, who has played three ODIs and one T20 for Australia, was on a hat-trick at one point and finished with 8-67 in the match. He received a standing ovation as he left the pitch. "To do what he did really showed the character that he has," said New South Wales coach Trevor Bayliss. "He was probably one of the guys who handled the situation better than some of the other guys. "To do what he did today showed the character that he has got as well. "Everyone was just so happy for him, after what happened two weeks ago, so hopefully that puts him back on the road to more success. "It was a hostile spell. He bowled fast on a flat fourth-day wicket, and short when he had to, pitching it up hitting the stumps. It was a fantastic fourth-day performance. "On this performance, he'll play more for Australia, I'm sure." Abbott has been receiving counselling, and the support of the cricketing world, after he bowled the bouncer that killed Hughes. He attended his funeral and was consoled by Hughes's family and other cricketers, who urged him to resume playing. After taking two wickets in Queensland's first innings, on Friday Abbott showed why he is regarded as one of Australia's rising talents. With the match seemingly heading for a draw, Abbott produced an extraordinary seven-over spell and at one stage took five wickets for five runs as NSW took control. Former Australia Test bowler Shane Warne said: "Good to see him back enjoying his cricket and taking wickets." Australia are also playing their first match since Hughes's death, the delayed opening Test against India at Adelaide. David Warner scored his second century of the match for Australia on Friday and then posted a message on his Instagram account praising his New South Wales team-mate. He wrote: "Credit to my good mate @sean_abbott bowling NSW to victory against QLD today. Been a tough week for everyone but this bloke has a genuine heart of gold and has fought hard this week to come back and bowl again. Well done mate proud of you." Njie, 22, had surgery after sustaining the injury in the Europa League win over Monaco earlier this month. "I don't know [how long he will be out] but we expect maybe two months or two and a half," manager Mauricio Pochettino said. Cameroon international Njie joined from Lyon in the summer but is yet to start or score in the Premier League. The news leaves Tottenham short of attacking options, with Harry Kane the sole recognised centre forward and Son Heung-min and Nacer Chadli now the only other available players who can play up front. However, midfielder Ryan Mason and defender Danny Rose are back in contention for the home game against Norwich on 26 December after injury and illness respectively. The idea is part of a major shake-up the special educational needs system. Ministers want to replace statements - which set out individual children's needs - with education and health care plans drawn up after a single assessment. But there are warnings that spending cuts will hit any improvements. One in five pupils in England - some 1.7 million children - is believed to have some form of special needs. The government claims its proposals, set out in a Green Paper, are the biggest shake up for special needs education for three decades. The SEN system is one of the most controversial areas of England's education system. In 2006, a Commons education committee labelled it "not fit for purpose". Currently, children who have a severe, multiple health or learning need or disability are supposed to be assessed by their local authority for the support that they need at school. A statement of special educational needs is then drawn up. This relates to about 2.7% of children in England. A further 21% have a lower level of SEN which is supported directly by the school, sometimes using external services or extra staff. But parents and special needs campaigners claim councils can be unwilling to "statement" pupils, because of the legal entitlement and possible extra costs that it brings. Many face a long fight to get to the stage where a statement is drawn up. Children's Minister Sarah Teather told the BBC: "We have heard time and time again that parents are frustrated with endless delays to getting the help their child needs, and by being caught in the middle when local services don't work together." The government says it wants to address children's needs in a more integrated way, bringing together schools, health and social care. It also wants to streamline the assessment process by bringing together all the professionals involved with the child, such as doctors, teachers, psychologists and speech therapists, for one single assessment. This would then lead to an education and health care plan that would have the same statutory status as the current statements. This, it is hoped, will make it easier for the families involved and lead to a more efficient process. There are also plans to get voluntary groups involved in the assessment process and co-ordinating packages of support for children. But it is not clear how deep their role would go in drawing up the care plans or how exactly they would be funded, although government money is said to be available. There are also plans to end the bias towards inclusion of pupils with special needs in mainstream schools. The chief executive of the National Autistic Society, Mark Lever, said parents too often had to "fight huge battles to have their child's needs recognised, understood and met". There has been concern that the label "special educational needs" is being applied too broadly, losing focus on those children with the greatest requirements. In a bid to address this, the government also proposes scrapping the two categories used by schools - school action and school action plus - and replacing them with a single SEN category aimed at raising attainment. But Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, warned that the promise of extra support would be undermined by the scale of spending cuts. "Savage cuts are already being made to many of the specialist services teachers rely on to help them support children with special educational needs," she said. "Educational psychologists and speech and language therapists are being made redundant as local authorities cut their funding following budget cuts from government." Labour's education spokesman Andy Burnham agreed that while the proposals were welcome, they were "hopelessly out of touch with the reality on the ground". "The government's reforms of health and education are fragmenting services, so it's going to make it much harder to get the sort of integrated services that the Green Paper speaks of," he said. Mr Burnham said the abolition of primary care trusts and the diluting of the role of local authorities in running schools would both make it harder to co-ordinate services. Karen Bradley made the comment as she announced the corporation's new charter in the House of Commons. She said the BBC was the nation's broadcaster and would be expected to reflect the national mood and news. But she said a decision over the so-called Scottish Six was a matter of editorial independence. BBC Scotland has produced pilots for a programme which could replace Reporting Scotland and the Six O'Clock News in Scotland. A spokesman for BBC Scotland said: "Work on our output continues and we expect to conclude that before the end of the year." A further two pilots will be produced by the team in Glasgow in the next week. It comes after criticism that the current six o'clock news programme, broadcast from London, was not always relevant to Scottish viewers in the wake of continued devolution, especially on issues concerning health and education. Speaking in response to a question from the SNP's culture spokesman John Nicolson - who said the issue should be "entirely the responsibility of the BBC" - Mrs Bradley said: "I want to be clear, the BBC is the nation's broadcaster and I expect the BBC to reflect the national mood and the national news, that is important across the whole nation. "He is right that it is for the BBC, who have operational independence in this matter, to determine how exactly they make that happen." There's predictable fascination with the startling amounts some TV presenters make, and glee that it'll be brought into the open under UK government plans for the BBC. But the Charter published by the new Culture Secretary has plenty more significant elements that could be smothered by coverage of that. One is the role of Ofcom. Already having a huge remit across telecoms, postal services and commercial broadcast, it is taking on a big regulatory role for the BBC as well. It will set the expectations of what the BBC should provide - in hours broadcast, in range, diversity and quality - and holding the Corporation to account on whether it's delivering. So long as Ofcom is itself seen to be independent, then that should put the BBC at a longer arm's length from government interference. The Charter sets a very broad outline of the minimum the BBC should provide in Scotland, specifically in opt-outs from the main TV channels, in having a national radio station, and in its Gaelic services. It leaves Ofcom to fill in the details beyond that. And it leaves the BBC to make some of the most sensitive decisions about the way it mixes a British network "shared experience" with distinctive Scottish output. Where it says "the BBC should bring people together for shared experiences and help contribute to the social cohesion and wellbeing of the United Kingdom", that will be interpreted by some as more pro-union than the BBC's impartiality should allow it to be. Yet those words are already being interpreted by others as a sign that the plans for a Scottish Six of integrated TV news - Scottish, UK and international, brought together from a Glasgow studio - is a dead duck. Not so, says BBC Scotland. It is running pilots this autumn, and will make a decision after seeing how audiences respond to them. By omission, the Charter leaves that as an editorial choice. Likewise, a second national Radio Scotland station is a decision for the Corporation - perhaps splitting news and sport from music and other culture. The idea of a Scottish digital channel, including that integrated news and lots of newly commissioned programme strands for six or so hours each evening, was favoured by the Scottish government. It's not mentioned in the Charter. Nor is it ruled out. But it looks a daunting financial stretch for BBC Scotland to deliver. Questions about that can be raised by MSPs under the new governance rules. The Scottish government has quickly served notice that it is not satisfied with the lack of a BBC Scotland board and the lack of autonomy for BBC Scotland managers. But it will be answerable to the Scottish Parliament. MSPs will be able to summon BBC chiefs to Holyrood on the same basis as MPs have been able to do at Westminster. That means accountability on resourcing and policy, on which there's lots of room for tension. It doesn't mean oversight of the running order of news items on Reporting Scotland. Earlier this month, Westminster's culture committee said the corporation should press ahead with plans for an hour-long news programme. A Scottish Six has been a long-running idea within Scottish broadcasting, with previous proposals being ruled out in 2006. The Scottish government has led calls for a more Scottish-focused six o'clock broadcast. And an inquiry by Labour peer Lord David Puttnam has also recently backed the idea of a Scottish Six, along with more devolution in BBC budgets. Sean Moynihan, 31, said Tobin had been annoying him for months "with his attitude towards his offences". He admitted striking the 69-year-old on the head and body with a razor blade, and will be sentenced next month. Tobin is serving life sentences for murdering Polish student Angelika Kluk, Scots schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton and Essex teenager Dinah McNicol. Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard that Moynihan attacked Tobin on 1 July when the pair were both incarcerated at Saughton Prison. The 31-year-old, now an inmate at Glenochil, admitted to prison officers that he "slashed Tobin across the throat and face". When interviewed later, he said: "Tobin has been annoying me for months with his attitude towards his offences and his refusal to tell anyone where the rest of his victims' bodies are." Tobin was treated at St John's Hospital in Livingstone, where he was found to have a 20cm (7.8in) laceration running down the right side of his face and onto his throat. Sheriff Nigel Ross was told the killer would be permanently scarred. Tobin was convicted of murdering 23-year-old Angelika Kluk at a church in Glasgow in 2006. The following year, the bodies of 18-year-old Dinah McNicol, from Essex, and Vicky Hamilton, 15, from Redding in Falkirk, were found in the garden of Tobin's former home in Margate, Kent. In 2006, Strathclyde Police set up Operation Anagram to establish whether Tobin could be linked to or ruled out of other crimes. Clarkson spent three years at Ashton Gate, scoring 11 goals in 67 games. But the 26-year-old Scotsman fell out of favour and was released in May after making only 10 appearances during the last Championship campaign. He is now training with City's cross-city rivals and is expected to be involved in their friendly against a Royal Marines XI in Exmouth. Meanwhile, Rovers manager Mark McGhee has said he will give midfielder Joe Anyinsah a chance to prove his worth at the Memorial Stadium. "He's got a lot of work still to do, but will be given the opportunity to prove there is a place for him here." Anyinsah, 27, was a regular in the side under previous boss Paul Buckle but played only eight games after McGhee's appointment in January. "At the end of last season I told one or two of the boys, including Joe, that although they were under contract it might be in their best interests to consider moving on," McGhee told the club website. "One of those players, Craig Stanley, has now left the club. "One thing I did say to them, though, was that it was always possible that the situation might change and that if they came back here they would be given the same chance as everyone else. "Joe has started training quite well, has got his head down and is getting on with it. He's not a player who will cause a manager any trouble, whether he's in or out of the team. "He's got a lot of work still to do, but will be given the opportunity to prove there is a place for him here." The men smashed through patio doors at the house on Leigh Road in Hindley Green at about 22:15 BST on Tuesday before forcing the woman to the ground. They then demanded cash, before making off along Thomas Street. Greater Manchester Police said the woman was "not seriously injured", but was taken to hospital as a precaution. Det Con Ian Deary said it had been a "shocking and violent burglary" and it had been "fortunate that nobody was seriously injured". He added that police were "particularly interested" in speaking to any local pawnbrokers who had been offered a men's Omega Seamaster watch, as one had been taken along with the money during in the break-in. The messages appeared on the account of Andy Bell, a vice-president of Carlisle United, on Tuesday, but were deleted shortly after. The club said it was "shocked" by the "disrespectful" comments and added it in "no way supported or condoned" them. Mr Bell denied responsibility saying his Twitter account had been hacked and apologised. The initial tweet read: "Don't mention the Heysel Stadium disaster!" - referencing the deaths of 39 people in Belgium in 1985 in the build-up to the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus. It was followed by another which said: "Were you involved in a stadium disaster that wasn't your fault? Call us now and get the compo you deserve!" The tweets were published on the day an inquest jury declared 96 Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed at Sheffield's Hillborough Stadium in April 1989. In a statement, Mr Bell apologised for any offence caused and said someone had tried to "tarnish" and "slur" his name. He said: "Nevertheless, I take full responsibility for failing to make sure [my account] was correctly secured to avoid being hacked." The statement added he has asked Twitter to investigate how his account was targeted. Carlisle United Official Supporters' Club described it as a "sick incident" and called on Mr Bell to provide evidence he had been hacked. Ewen Reynolds, 44, spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court before being remanded in custody. He will appear at Bristol Crown Court on Thursday. Zac Evans died outside The Pike and Musket pub in Tuffley at about 00:40 GMT on Saturday. Two others were injured during the attack. Mr Reynolds, of Foley Close in Tuffley, has been charged with one charge of murder and attempting to murder a second man. Tom Billings, 22, from Oxford, was last seen hiking in the North Shore mountains on 25 November 2013. His remains and personal belongings were spotted by hikers on Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver last month. A post-mortem examination has been carried out and officers from Vancouver Police Department said foul play was not suspected. Mr Billings, who was reported missing after failing to return to his accommodation in Vancouver, had been expected to return to England in December 2013. He was described as a "seasoned traveller" and an "avid hiker" after spending eight weeks travelling in North America before he disappeared. Speaking at a police news conference in Vancouver in 2013, Tom's father Martin Billings said his son had been hitch-hiking, travelling by bus and "couch surfing" - staying with hosts he met on the internet. He last exchanged emails with his father on 22 and 23 November when he visited Seattle in the US, Mr Billings added. The UK Foreign Office said it was aware of the death and that it was in contact with the family and local authorities. The former Barcelona player, 33, suffered the injury after his side had made three substitutions and Juve finished with 10 men. A club statement said Alves "fractured the fibula bone in his left leg". The Brazil international completed a free transfer to reigning Italian champions Juventus in June after signing a two-year deal. Defender Leonardo Bonucci, 29, also had to go off with an injury in the first half after "straining the flexor muscles in his thigh".

Officers forced entry into a flat in Adelphi Place, Portobello, on Sunday where they found the body of 88-year-old Douglas Iggulden. His wife Elizabeth, 89, was found collapsed and remains in hospital. The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner will look at the initial response by Police Scotland to a report of concern about the couple's welfare. BBC Scotland understands the investigation concerns the timing of the police response. The commissioner is also reviewing a separate incident where a possible sighting of an elderly woman who had gone missing from her home in Glasgow, was not passed onto the police inquiry team. Janet McKay's body was later discovered in Clydebank, more than a week after her disappearance. After a goalless first half in which Chelsea dominated possession, Palace took the lead when Bakary Sako drove in after Yannick Bolasie's low cross. Chelsea responded when substitute Radamel Falcao headed in his first goal for the club. Palace regained the lead immediately as Joel Ward nodded in a late winner. Relive Crystal Palace's win at Chelsea Reaction to this match and the rest of Saturday's action Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea, the reigning Premier League champions, are now eight points behind leaders Manchester City after four games. They have been far from convincing so far this season having collected just four points, with only one of those picked up on home soil. Mourinho called the 3-0 loss to Manchester City "a fake result" but it is hard to argue that Palace were not good value for this win. Alex McCarthy produced a fine double-save to deny Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas in the first half, while Kurt Zouma had a penalty claim waved away, but otherwise the hosts were restricted to few clear-cut chances. Instead, Palace could have won by a bigger margin, with Bolasie missing from close range when the visitors led 1-0. A major contributing factor to Chelsea's disappointing start to the season has been their defence, with the Blues having now conceded nine goals in just four games. Media playback is not supported on this device The hosts were forced into a change at centre-back because of John Terry's suspension and Gary Cahill was the player to step in and partner Kurt Zouma. Mourinho continues to be frustrated in his pursuit of Everton defender John Stones, but it was not the middle of the defence that gave him the most cause for concern on Saturday. Branislav Ivanovic has struggled for form so far this term and Palace targeted the right-back, with 50% of their attacks in the first half coming down that side of the pitch. Crucially, Ivanovic was caught out when Sako was allowed to provide the ball for Ward to score the decisive goal. Crystal Palace made the short trip across London looking to record only their second league victory at Stamford Bridge - and first since 1982. However, the Eagles arrived at Chelsea boasting one of the strongest away records in the Premier League in 2015, having lost just two of their nine games on the road since Alan Pardew was appointed on 3 January, winning the rest. Part of the reason for Palace's impressive away form has been the expansive, attacking football Pardew has encouraged his side to play and that was certainly on show at Chelsea. While the hosts may have dominated possession, Palace were dangerous on the counter, with Sako exploiting gaps left by Ivanovic in the first half on a number of occasions. Eden Hazard was a pivotal player for Chelsea last season, inspiring them to a first Premier League title in five years. Such was his influence throughout 2014-15 that the Belgian has found himself a marked man in the current campaign, with as many as three players closing him down whenever he is in possession. Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said recently that the arrival of Pedro would help alleviate the burden on Hazard and allow him to rediscover his creative spark, but once again he failed to shine. Pedro was Chelsea's main creative outlet and he created as many chances (five) as Hazard and Willian combined. While the Blues' defence arguably needs strengthening, their lack of bite in attack will also be a cause for concern for Mourinho. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho: "We didn't deserve to lose. But Palace gave us a very difficult game. The result should be a draw, which would still be bad for us. We did enough not to lose." Read more as Mourinho discusses his team's start to the season. Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew: "It was a really good performance today - one of the best performances I've seen from one of my teams in terms of composure. We can frighten teams with our pace and we did that from start to finish. Our defenders had to defend really well and they did." After the international break, Mourinho takes his Chelsea side to Everton on 12 September while Crystal Palace host Manchester City on the same day. The case was brought by the owner of Taylor & Sons which was wrongly recorded by Companies House as being wound up in 2009. It was a company with a similar name, Taylor & Son, which was actually in difficulties. Companies House said it was considering the implications of the judgement. Taylor & Sons' owner Philip Davison-Sebry told the court Companies House had caused the collapse of his business, as customers walked away because they thought it was being wound up. He is suing the agency for £8.8m. In his judgement, Mr Justice Edis found Companies House owed a duty of care when entering a winding up order to take reasonable care to ensure that the order is not registered against the wrong company. Mr Justice Edis ruled Taylor & Sons had proved that the reason it went into liquidation was because of an error made by Companies House. He also said the company was not consulted to enable it to challenge the mistake. "My finding on the causation issue shows that in this case that harm amounted to the destruction of a company which had traded for over 100 years and which owned a valuable business," he said. However, this is only a preliminary judgement and the issue of damages still has to be resolved. The High Court had been told last November that it was claimed that the mistake led to the firm - which employed 250 people - going into administration. Companies House contested the claim. At last year's hearing Clive Freedman QC told Mr Justice Edis that Companies House was in breach of its duty to Taylor & Sons Ltd when it made the mistake. The information was wrongly recorded on the companies register on 20 February and was corrected three days later on 23 February. Acting for the former co-owner, Philip Davison-Sebry, the barrister said that by the third day it was already too late, as it had already got around that the company was in trouble and the record remained elsewhere. Companies House contested the claim on the basis that it did not owe a duty of care to the company. It said that the publication was for such a short period of time that it could not have been the cause of the business failing. Following the judgement, a Companies House spokesperson said it was considering its implications and could not comment further. A customer at the Salford store posted his request on Tesco's Facebook page alongside a picture of two women wearing pyjamas and dressing gowns. Chris Cooke said he had seen shoppers dressed similarly on "a regular basis". Tesco said it did not have a dress code and staff used "common sense" in talking to customers about the issue. Mr Cook's post, which he has since taken down, said: "Dear Tesco, please can you put a rule in place that people like this will not be served in your stores." He added that it was "disgusting" and went on: "Who doesn't have time to get changed into clothes to go shopping?" Tesco's customer services team responded with a post saying that "many of our customers have told us that they feel uncomfortable when they see other shoppers wearing unsuitable clothing in our stores and we do try to find a balance that everyone is happy with". However, a Tesco spokesperson told the BBC: "In general, it's not a big issue " The Facebook complaint had "generated a lot of discussion "and a lot of people were commenting on that one post, he added. He said there was no ban on nightwear in its stores and nothing had changed as a result of the Facebook complaint. "We do not have a formal dress code in our stores and colleagues use their common sense and discretion when speaking to customers about this issue." In 2010, a Tesco store in Cardiff asked customers not to shop in their pyjamas or barefoot. Notices were put up in the chain's supermarket in St Mellons saying: "Footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted." But that's exactly where Pimco, a giant West Coast investment firm that has nearly $2 trillion (£1.5 trillion) under management, has ended up. It has appointed Manny (Emmanuel) Roman, 52, as its new chief executive after a period of turbulence that saw the company lose about one-quarter of its assets as investors took to their heels. They were frightened off by a power struggle. Bill Gross, a legendary investor that founded Pimco, fell out with his colleagues, and is now suing the company. The row over his exit eventually led to another big name Mohamed El-Erian standing down as chief executive, to be replaced by Doug Hodge. Roman will succeed Hodge on 1 November. While at first Roman looks an odd choice - he worked at Goldman Sachs before coming one of the first wave of bankers to defect to the ranks of hedge funds, becoming a star name at GLG in London and eventually chief executive of its eventual owner, Man Group - he has two things on his CV that would have drawn in the Pimco board. First, he has been a trader, and is adept at managing the egos that big investment firms have to nurture - and fire - when they have outlived their usefulness. Second, he has proven he can revive struggling investment companies. When he took over at Man, it was suffering much the same investor flight malaise that now ails Pimco. That was to do with the flagging performance of a key Man "black box" fund. Roman saw the company through the crisis and restored it to health. Pimco's board will hope he can do the same on the other side of the Atlantic. As well restoring investor confidence, Roman faces one big trading call. Pimco's staple diet is government bonds, the IOUs issued to fund state spending programmes. The prices of these instruments are now hitting record highs as investors all over the world look for safe havens. Roman's big call will be whether to continue to devote Pimco's energy to a market that is showing extraordinary, never-before-seen negative yields, or bring some of his hedge-fund magic to bear and find a new outlet for Pimco's reserves. It is not known whether his bionic arm had any role in causing the accident. Christian Kandlbauer, 22, was found in the wreckage of his specially-adapted Subaru on Tuesday. Late on Thursday he was pronounced brain-dead in intensive care at the Graz hospital and his life support was switched off. Mr Kandlbauer lost both of his arms four years ago, after being shocked by 20,000 volts. He was fitted with a mind-controlled robotic arm by the medical technology company Otto Bock Healthcare, which said it was the first project of its kind in Europe. Using both his left and right arm - which was a normal prosthetic limb - he was able to pass his driving test in a specially converted car. On Tuesday he was found by a lorry driver who came across his burning car on a road near Bad Waltersdorf in south-east Austria. The driver managed to put out the flames, but it needed firefighters to extract Mr Kandlbauer from the mangled wreckage. He had been interviewed by the BBC about his revolutionary limb earlier this year. "I feel very happy," he said at the time. "It is like my earlier arm - I feel that my arm is a part of my body." He had returned to work as a warehouse clerk at the garage that once employed him as a mechanic. He said he was grateful that he had the freedom to get on with his life. nan 22 July 2016 Last updated at 08:58 BST As players come on to the campus to catch creatures on the virtual reality game, staff members approach them about potential online courses. Some of them include creating games for android phones, similar to Pokemon Go. The university's Dr Matthew Nicholls said: "There are some really great connections between this augmented reality phenomenon that is Pokemon Go, and some of the courses we offer." Bailey Gwynne's death, which happened at Cults Academy, is being treated as murder. Police are continuing to question another 16-year-old boy in connection with the incident. Aberdeen City Council chief executive Angela Scott said: "I know that there were individual acts of heroism at the school." She added in a statement: "I fully appreciate that there were sights and experiences for many that you simply do not expect to have to face. "The anguish being suffered by parents, family and friends is unimaginable." At First Minister's Questions, Nicola Sturgeon said the Scottish government had offered any help required to Aberdeen City Council. The first minister said such incidents were thankfully very rare in Scotland and said any lessons that were required to be learned would be learned. James McMahon, one of Bailey's friends, told BBC Scotland the teenager "didn't deserve what happened to him". He said he was "a very nice person". Emergency services were called to the school at about 13:30 on Wednesday. Bailey died in hospital. He was described by head teacher Anna Muirhead as "very gentle" and "caring". She said pupils and staff were "totally devastated" and in a "state of total shock". Cults Parish Church opened from 09:00 and will hold a candlelit vigil at 20:00 for anyone affected. The church, in North Deeside Road, is just 300 yards (274 metres) from the school. On Wednesday night the church was also open to those affected by the tragedy. Rev Ewan Gilchrist said: "There is a sense of uselessness after such an event but it feels right to open our doors to offer a safe place, a quiet place, a place of prayer -whatever people want the church to be. It is warm and safe with friendly faces. "There is a sense of shock and horror in the community. The academy is a very important part of this parish and the wider community. Its academic and sporting successes have meant a lot to many people so a tragedy like this creates shock waves. "Most of all, our thoughts and prayers are with Bailey's family who must be devastated." Analysis by BBC Scotland reporter Fiona Stalker Every parents nightmare. Send your children to school, a place of safety, only for them not to come home. That's what happened at Cults Academy yesterday to Bailey Gwynne. A normal Wednesday at one of Scotland's top state schools turned to tragedy. The overwhelming mood is still one of utter disbelief. This morning outside Cults Academy there was silence. Just 24 hours earlier there would have noise and the hustle and bustle of pupils arriving for lessons. When the news filtered through that there had been an "incident" at the school, relatives started arriving at the gates. Many had received texts from their sons and daughters telling them about what had happened. Then there was the relief when parents were reunited with their children. Many tears were shed. When the news came through that 16-year-old Bailey had died in hospital, groups of young people began arriving with flowers. Those I spoke to described him as "gentle", "kind", "caring" . And this morning, more flowers, more youngsters coming to the school gates. Many just to talks to friends, to speak about Bailey, to lay flowers and leave messages for the classmate they would not see again. One teenager simply told me: "I just don't understand why". Aberdeen City Council has set up a dedicated support number - 01224 264299 - which was operational from 08:00. The school will be closed on Thursday and Friday and counselling is being offered. Police Scotland said a "full and thorough" inquiry was under way. Cults Academy Parent Council said in a statement: "We are deeply shocked and saddened following the tragic death of a pupil at our school. "On behalf of the Parent Council at Cults Academy, we wish to extend our sincerest sympathies to his family and friends. We cannot begin to imagine their suffering. "Cults Academy is a very trusted and highly reputable seat of learning for our young people and it is beyond belief that such a tragedy has taken place in our school community. "We would like to offer our full and continued support to head teacher Anna Muirhead, her teaching staff and all of our pupils as they come to terms with what has happened." Aberdeen City Council leader Jenny Laing said she was "deeply saddened" by the news. "I would like to offer my sincere sympathy to the boy's family and friends at this most difficult time." Cults Academy is a secondary school with 1,050 pupils from age 11 to 18 and is said to have a good reputation. Any child who has been affected by this incident can also call ChildLine on 0800 1111. Michael Heathcock, 59 and Richard Finch, 60, had tried to kill the 16-year-old terrier called Scamp, claiming vet fees were too expensive. At Teesside Crown Court the pair were sentenced to four months in prison and banned from keeping animals for life. The men, both from Redcar, had previously pleaded guilty to animal welfare offences. There was a large police presence outside the court as the sentences were passed, where about 40 members of the Save Our Strays charity mounted a demonstration. The court heard Heathcock had owned the dog for about 15 years and had no previous issues with the animal. A couple walking in Kirkleatham Woods, Redcar, in October, heard whimpering and found the dog in a mound of earth. It was taken to a vet, who discovered three other puncture wounds to its head and described it as the worse case of animal cruelty he had ever seen. The court heard Heathcock told RSPCA inspectors that "something had to be done" because the dog was starting to go blind, deaf and was incontinent. After the hearing, Redcar's Labour MP Anna Turley said the sentences handed down to the pair were "not enough". She said: "I am pleased they have received a custodial sentence for what they did, but the punishment is still not enough for the severity of the crime. "The judge is limited by current sentencing guidelines and they will probably only be in prison for two months. "These cases highlight the inadequacy of the law in the area of animal abuse and why my bill for tougher sentences is so desperately needed. "I will continue to press for my bill to be heard to increase the maximum sentence from six months to five years." The RSPCA also called for tougher sentences. David Bowles, head of external affairs at the RSPCA, said: "Scamp's ordeal was horrific and heartbreaking and the sentence handed out to his killers will upset and anger animal lovers." The Irish News' front page shows a cartoon of Prime Minister Theresa May up a ladder and shaking the "money tree" with DUP leader Arlene Foster gleefully collecting the cash in her dress. The paper says that if political talks at Stormont fail to agree a return to power sharing, the DUP and Conservatives will administer the extra money via a "co-ordination committee" and Sinn Féin will therefore be "excluded from influence". In addition to its front page splash, the paper devotes its first eight pages to the story with political analyst John Manley comparing Arlene Foster to the "cat who got the cream". The Irish News editorial says that the political pressure is now on Sinn Féin to return to the Stormont executive though it does point out that it will not want to be seen to be "dancing to the DUP's tune". "One billion smiles," is the headline in the News Letter. Its lead picture shows the DUP's Nigel Dodds, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson and Arlene Foster along with Theresa May - and the DUP contingent is certainly smiling. Mrs May is, perhaps, a little more reserved. The paper's lead story describes the Tory-DUP agreement as "historic" and compares it to the Irish nationalist leader John Redmond holding the balance of power in Westminster more than 100 years ago. The first eight pages of the News Letter are also devoted to the cash windfall. The News Letter also gives some coverage to the ongoing Stormont talks. It carries comments by TUV leader Jim Allister that an Irish language act would be "a vehicle to hollow out our Britishness" while warning that he believes the DUP may be prepared to compromise on the issue in order to secure the return of the Northern Ireland executive. Not surprisingly, the Belfast Telegraph also gives over its front page to the DUP-Tory deal and its headline makes the paper's view very clear - "£1bn reasons to bring back Stormont now". Like the Irish News, the Belfast Telegraph stresses, in its stories, headlines and in comment pieces that Sinn Féin is now under renewed pressure to return to the executive - again the paper gives over eight pages to analysis and comment on the agreement. In other news, the Belfast Telegraph reports a significant split in fledgling republican political party Saoradh. The story, billed as exclusive, states that up to 23 members resigned in support of a high-profile republican who has been expelled from the organisation. "Now we've got money to burn," is the headline in the Northern Ireland edition of the Daily Mirror, referencing the money it says is now burning a hole in Arlene Foster's pocket and the RHI 'Cash for Ash' scandal which the paper says is now "behind her". Patricia Wilson, 58, formerly of Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, vanished from her home in August 2012. Her body has never been found. Mrs Wilson had been living in a hamlet called Les Landes Basses near the village of Vabre-Tizac. Jean-Louis Cayrou, 54, of La Salvetat-Peyrales, denies murdering her. For more Hertfordshire stories, visit the BBC Local Live page The trial, being held in Rodez, near Toulouse, heard the pair had an affair after her partner returned to Britain for medical treatment. Sylvie Escaffre, 53, the former wife of Mr Cayrou, said he had become a violent, abusive husband. She described one incident when she said he entered the bathroom while she was in the shower and tried to force himself on her, resulting in a struggle. She said she was extremely scared of him. After learning of Mrs Wilson's disappearance, she immediately believed Cayrou could have killed her, she told the Cour d'Assises de l'Aveyron. The court heard the relationship between Mr Cayrou and Mrs Wilson had deteriorated by mid-July 2012 and that she confided in friends that they had had an argument when she tried to end it. It was alleged by her friends that Mr Cayrou entered her house on 25 July, cut the electricity, attempted to suffocate her while she was sleeping. Of Mrs Wilson's body, which has never been found, Mrs Escaffre said: "I thought to myself, if it is him, he would have been capable of burying it in my garden." Her statement prompted sobs from the public bench where members of Cayrou's family - including some of his nine siblings - were sitting. The hearing continues. The woman claims she was 18 when she was raped by Roger Caffrey in 1994. Mr Caffrey is charged with three counts of rape and 14 indecent assaults in Nottingham between 1978 and 1995. The 70-year-old - who the woman described as a "family friend" - denies all the charges. Nottingham Crown Court heard Mr Caffrey was arrested and questioned over the rape allegation two decades ago. The woman told the court the case was dropped due to a lack of evidence. Police contacted the woman again in 2013 following the start of another investigation into Mr Caffrey, but the original documents into the 1994 case had been lost. A jury heard the woman attended a city school when Mr Caffrey was a teacher, although she was not a pupil of his. The woman agreed to help Mr Caffrey with jobs at his home, which was where he raped her, the court heard. "I'd been violated," she said. "Looking back, how immature and naive I was, it was shocking to me that somebody could do something like that. "I try and detach myself from it because that is easier to cope with." Michael Evans, defending Mr Caffrey, told the court his client believed "there was consensual sex". Mr Caffrey is accused of raping two girls and touching pupils while they read out loud in class and in a store cupboard in the classroom. Sixteen of the 17 charges against Mr Caffrey, now of Orkney, involve girls under the age of 16 - some believed to be as young as nine. The trial continues. Former Rangers player Naismith, 25, scored his third goal in as many games in a win at Hartlepool on Saturday. He found himself out of favour at Pompey at the end of last season, but has netted nine league goals this term. "I'm producing and doing what I need to do," he told BBC Radio Solent. "It feels good to play for this club." Naismith was given the option to leave Portsmouth last summer at the end of his first season at Fratton Park, which included a loan spell at Hartlepool. Having previously secured a promotion with Rangers from the Scottish Third Division, he said a second one of his career with Pompey would rank higher. "No disrespect to the teams in that league, but it's not as good as League Two and this would be a bigger promotion," he said. Third-placed Portsmouth have a six-point lead over Stevenage in fourth with six games to play, but Naismith is refusing to look too far ahead. "I know it's an old cliche, but's it's game by game," he said. "We've built up momentum quickly, but you can just as quickly lose it in football." The deal also establishes a roadmap for lifting visa requirements for Turks travelling to the EU. Visa-free status is expected in three years' time. Turkey is a major transit country for Asians and Africans heading for the EU. Ankara has set up special camps for thousands of Syrian refugees, but other migrants often face great hardship. Greece, where migrant reception centres are overcrowded, stepped up security on its land border with Turkey in August 2012. But the EU border agency Frontex says in its 2013 risk analysis report that detections of illegal migrants on boats in the Aegean Sea, between Turkey and Greece, increased by 912% later that year. In the past, human rights organisations, including the UN refugee agency UNHCR, have strongly criticised Greece and Italy for "push-backs" - a policy of sending migrants back to their point of departure. Source: Frontex Under international law, groups of migrants are supposed to be checked for legitimate asylum claims. Bulgaria, an EU member, has struggled to cope with large numbers of irregular migrants - especially Syrians - arriving from Turkey. Bulgaria is not in the EU's Schengen passport-free zone, where border checks are minimal, but Greece is. Ketty Kehayioylou of the UNHCR in Greece said migrants were taking more dangerous routes since the land border with Turkey was fenced off last year. The situation of Syrian refugees remains precarious in Greece, she told the BBC. Unlike other migrants, Syrians are now given a six-month suspension of deportation. But that temporary permit does not entitle them to such things as a place stay, food or medical assistance, she said. Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the new deal with the EU a "milestone". Mr Erdogan said Turkey was no longer a country that people "escape from, but one that people return to". "We are not a country that is a burden [to the EU] but one that takes away its burdens," he said. "The visa requirements should have been removed long ago. The fact that they haven't been removed yet has only harmed the European Union." Turkey wants to join the EU and negotiations began in 2005, but progress has been slow, amid EU concern about human rights abuses. Turkey is carrying out various judicial reforms in an effort to meet EU standards. EU leaders complained about the Turkish police crackdown on anti-government protesters in June, and Turkey's long-running dispute with Cyprus has also been a stumbling block. Turkey's EU accession negotiations resumed last month. Two years of talks led up to the migrants/visa deal. Turkey's Hurriyet newspaper says they narrowed their differences only after Ankara was assured that it could suspend the readmission agreement in the event that an EU member country blocked visa-free travel for Turkish citizens. The avalanche hit the remote Jochgrubenkopf peak in the Tyrol region at about 12:30 local time (11:30 GMT). It engulfed a group of eight foreign tourists, but four managed to free themselves and seek help, according to Austrian reports. Three bodies were found quickly but rescuers searched for hours to find the fourth body buried deep in the snow. Local reports said the ski group was visiting from Switzerland. Rudi Mair from the Tyrol avalanche warning service said "tonnes of snow" had come down the 2,400m (7,800ft) mountain. The avalanche was said to have been about 700m (2,300 feet) long. The alert level at the time had been quite low. But Mr Mair told Austrian broadcaster ORF that the avalanche had been triggered by a small amount of fresh snow on top of several, unstable layers of old snow. Fourteen people in Austria have died in avalanche accidents this winter, officials say. The initial web version of the general election manifesto was taken down for a time because some photos showed the words "iStock by Getty Images". The document was then restored without the photographs' watermarks. A Plaid spokesman said the mistake was quickly corrected after a previous version containing watermarks was put online momentarily. BBC Wales has since found that some of the stock images used in the manifesto can also be found advertising health services in Cinncinatti, advice on sexually transmitted diseases in New Zealand and a detox clinic for substance abusers in Utah. Media playback is not supported on this device With both sides flying high in the Premier League, it promised to be a closely fought replay after the sides drew the first match. But Spurs were barely troubled and took the lead in the 39th minute when Son's 18-yard strike beat Kasper Schmeichel. Nacer Chadli made it 2-0 when he converted Son's precise through ball. The north London side travel to League One strugglers Colchester United in the fourth round. It was probably the best 83 minutes of Son's Tottenham career so far. The £22m summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen was the one bright spark in attack on a night when both sides lacked bite up front. With Tottenham pairing Harry Kane and Dele Alli and the Foxes' Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez starting on the bench, it was up to the 'cup players' to prove they were also worthy of a place in their Premier League starting XIs. For Tottenham, who made eight changes, Son's claim was the strongest. He did what his team-mates struggled to do for almost 40 minutes - penetrate the Leicester backline when he shifted past defender Ben Chilwell before scoring with a ferocious dipping strike. And his assist for the second was also a thing of beauty. After collecting substitute Kane's pass from the left, Son nutmegged Yohan Benalouane with his ball for Chadli, who fired beyond Schmeichel. 'Tinkerman' Claudio Ranieri repeated much of what he had done before the first match by making nine changes from the previous league match. As in the first game, his side were content to let Tottenham dominate possession seemingly in the hope of catching them on the break. However, the plan failed. The Spurs midfield quelled the threat of wingers Demarai Gray and Nathan Dyer, and in doing so cut off the supply line for lone striker Leonardo Ulloa. Shinji Okazaki and Marc Albrighton were brought on after the break, as in the match at White Hart Lane, and improved matters. Albrighton had the Foxes best chance of the match when he forced a good low save from the otherwise redundant Michel Vorm. In defence, Chilwell should perhaps have closed down Son for the opener, but he was Leicester's best player. The youngster was exceptional as an attacking full-back - the highlight a mazy first-half run that won his side a free-kick. But it is now only one win in seven games for the Foxes in all competitions - is this more than a blip? Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "We have also the Premier League and Europa League and I think it is very important to keep the squad fit and working hard, and the FA Cup is very important for this. We are having a fantastic season, we are at a fantastic level. "It is difficult to be fair to players but there is fantastic spirit in the changing room and in the training ground. "I don't like to speak about change. For me, when you have 24 or 25 players they all work very hard and some players deserve to play and can't - you can only pick 11 and seven on the bench." Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri: "Tonight, Tottenham deserved to win. Our priority is the Premier League. "The FA Cup, I wanted to see all my players and they played at their maximum. I'm very, very pleased with their performance." Leicester are back in league action at home to Stoke on Saturday, and Tottenham are at Crystal Palace.

Institutions across the UK could by affected by the action by Unison, the University and College Union, Unite and the Educational Institute of Scotland. The dispute centres on a 1% pay rise offered to university staff - including lecturers and support staff. Employers expressed disappointment at the decision to take strike action. The unions say there has been a 13% pay cut in real terms since October 2008. Unison, Unite and the UCU staged a one-day walkout on 31 October. For this second planned day of action, they are being joined the the Scottish education union, the EIS. UCU head of higher education Michael MacNeil said: "Staff have suffered year-on-year cuts in the value of their pay and have made it clear that enough is enough. "We remain committed to trying to resolve this dispute and the employers now have until 3 December to sit down and positively engage with the unions. "If they don't, then our members and those from our sister unions will be out on strike again, as well as continuing to work to contract." The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA), which represents universities as employers, said it was disappointed by the announcement of industrial action. A UCEA spokesperson said: "Ever since the initial consultation at the start of this year, UCEA's 150 participating UK higher education employers have continued to say that, given the challenging and uncertain operating environment, the 1% pay uplift is a good and sustainable offer and is at the limit of affordability. "This of course sits on top of other pay elements totalling around 3% on pay. So any announcement of further industrial action is naturally disappointing. "However, less than 5% of staff voted to support this and nine out of 10 of institutions reported 'no to low' impact from the day of action on 31 October. "UCEA continues to say that it is willing to talk to the disputing trade unions so that we can explore together whether the dispute can be resolved." Union leaders said the day of action in October affected 149 UK universities, with support services such as catering, cleaning and security hit alongside academic departments. The National Union of Students (NUS) urged both sides to work towards a speedy resolution to the dispute. NUS president Toni Pearce said: "For that to happen we need to see the employers getting round the table with the unions and negotiating a fair and sustainable settlement. "Students want the staff in our universities and colleges to be treated well and paid fairly. "Our own research shows that more than half of UK universities pay at least some of their staff less than the living wage. "It is those on lower wages such as porters, cleaners and kitchen staff who have already lost out in the pay squeeze and now stand to lose out again." Not only does O'Brien's extensive social media presence regularly feature the nation's teatime favourite, but the other day in the winners' room at Warwick I witnessed his eyes positively out on stalks at the prospect of a large Victoria sponge laid out on the bar. It turns out cake is part of a strategy to make certain that the owners of the growing numbers of horses in the trainer's Cotswold string remain happy, even when things aren't going well. He said: "Someone asked me what I wanted to achieve, and I said to have winners and be fashionable, of course, but when an owner doesn't have a winner, they should still have a good time, and part of that is to get them back to the yard maybe for cake. "The horses are not going to win every day - we have a good strike-rate at the moment of one winner in five, but that's also four losers in five. "Actually, it all started with someone asking to visit the yard, and we said 'yes - if you bring a cake', and it all took off from there. "The cakes keep arriving, homemade, in all shapes and sizes, and between the lads and the owners they all get eaten, there's no waste. I do love a Victoria sponge myself." And Team O'Brien, headed by the 44-year-old from the rich racing pastures of County Tipperary, Ireland, has been enjoying plenty of generous slices of action during this National Hunt campaign. That strike-rate is part of what's set to be by far the 60-horse stable's best season, during which the eye has been drawn in particular to unbeaten Colin's Sister and Poetic Rhythm, who recently finished third in the Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham. Meanwhile, stable veteran and old favourite Alvarado, twice fourth in the Grand National, travels to Scotland looking to bounce back in Britain's newest version of the feature, the 18th in all, the £40,000 Edinburgh National at Musselburgh. The race - note that it's just a 'National', with no 'Grand' prefix, because officials believe there should be only one of them - is a sliver over four miles long, and puts the onus on the jockeys not to miscount as it's three circuits of the small, flat track. Despite having successfully completed the Aintree course twice, Alvarado got no further than the second fence when taking part in the Becher Chase over the famous fences in December, sustaining a head injury in the process. "I thought that this would be a great year for him after he ran a blinder at Cheltenham first time out [when sixth]," said O'Brien, "but he got a kick in the head at Aintree and he had a haematoma on the top of his neck, so we've given him a bit of time. "He's the boss, a real character - we always say Alvarado trains Alvarado - but he seems in very good form, and goes well after a break so it'll be good to have a go at a good pot." Though the horse may struggle to make the cut for a return to the Grand National in April - only the top 40 in the weights get the chance to line-up - the 12-year-old is among the 110 entries. There must be something in the Cotswold air because O'Brien's base is just across a muddy lane from another in-form trainer, Nigel Twiston-Davies. Twiston-Davies is racking up all kinds of potential stars for jump racing's showpiece Festival at nearby Cheltenham in March, a list headed by Gold Cup hope Bristol De Mai and leading hurdler The New One. O'Brien was assistant there for 18 years, having arrived when the trainer's jockey son Sam - now 24 and one of jump racing's go-to riders - was just 10 months old. Their parting, as O'Brien went off to set up a training operation of his own, was not necessarily the most amicable of processes, but relations, especially now they're neighbours, are more cordial these days. "Having been down the road at Cilldara Stud, we moved back to Nigel's top yard in July 2015 and since our first runner from here won, we've never looked back really. "The confidence is going, we're rolling along with nice new horses and owners, and the whole place is buzzing. "There are two gallops - whichever one Nigel is on, we're on the other, and I don't ever seem to get in his way, and anyway our 'work' mornings are different. "I do think that a feel-good factor is infectious, and it does rub off on each other, so we're both rocking away." The Bet365 Edinburgh National is on Saturday, 4 February at 14:05 GMT The search firm lent its expertise in scanning documents to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Both amateur and professional scholars will now have access to 1,200 megapixel images. Five scrolls have been captured, including the Temple Scroll and Great Isaiah Scroll. Ardon Bar-Hama, a noted photographer of antiquities, used ultraviolet-protected flash tubes to light the scrolls for 1/4000th of a second. The exposure time - which is much shorter than a conventional camera flash - was designed to protect the scrolls from damage. The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered between 1947 and 1956 inside 11 caves along the shore of the Dead Sea, East of Jerusalem. As well as containing the oldest copies of many biblical texts, they also include many secular writings relating to life in the 1st and 2nd Centuries AD. The texts are generally written on papyrus or parchment, and in many cases only small fragments remain. Scrolls available for viewing online are: Google has assisted in digitising a large number of historical documents, including the Art Project, which brings together high resolution versions of many classic paintings from galleries around the world. It has also created Google Earth tours of Spain's Prado Museum, and digitised documents from the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum. However, the company has run into difficulties with its plan to scan all of the world's books. It has already paid out $125m to settle a claim for copyright infringement by the US-based Authors Guild. More recently, a group of writers from the UK, Australia and Canada initiated a legal action against five US universities that had been compiling an online library of texts scanned by Google. The so-called "orphaned works" are out of print and their authors cannot be traced. The 45-year-old was shaking and slurred his words on stage at a charity event in Northampton on Thursday and his agent, Terry Baker, says he now fears for Gascoigne's life. Alex Best, widow of football legend and recovering alcoholic George Best who died in 2005, is also concerned. She told The Sun newspaper: "Seeing Gazza in such a bad way brings back the most horrible memories of George when he was in the grip of the drink that eventually killed him. "It's heartbreaking to see Paul so deeply gripped by his addiction again." NHS figures suggest nine in every 100 men and four in every 100 women show signs of alcohol dependence. Drinking alcohol becomes a focus in daily life, meaning the person no longer has control over their drinking and depends on it to get through the day. You don't necessarily have to be rolling around drunk to have a dependency on alcohol - people may be able to hold down a career and drink in a way that is damaging. Dependency mean you are physically and psychologically tied to booze - you feel compelled to drink and this takes its toll on your physical and emotional health. Julie Rogers has been working in the addiction field for 12 years, helping people who are hooked on alcohol. Ms Rogers, who works with the charity Foundation 66, says problem drinking is a complex and incredibly difficult behaviour to break. No two people are the same and there is no single approach that is guaranteed to work. "Alcohol addiction does not have any boundaries. It affects all types of people alike. It doesn't matter if you are wealthy or poor. "And there are so many different reasons why people drink. But the thing they do have in common is that, for them, alcohol has become more than just a drink. "It becomes something that you need to do to cope and get through. That's when it becomes a problem." For some, the trigger is stress or anxiety - a demanding job or a traumatic divorce, for example. She said for others it is a learned behaviour - something they have been exposed to during their childhood and have grown up to follow the same path. Genetics can also make some people susceptible, experts suspect. Regardless of the cause, the first step to tackling addiction is the same. Ms Rogers said: "Recognising you have a problem and then seeking help is the first step. "It sounds simple but, in reality it's not. It can be hard to admit you have a problem and actually do something about it." The former Newcastle, Tottenham and Lazio player has tried hard to fight his addiction, spending repeated spells in rehab over the last decade. Gazza's drinking problems started during his playing days. In 1998, shortly after his divorce from wife Sheryl, he was admitted to the The Priory Hospital in Marchwood, near Southampton, to receive treatment for stress and drink problems. In 2001, whilst playing at Everton, Gascoigne admitted himself to an alcohol rehabilitation clinic in Arizona on the insistence of his then manager Walter Smith. Four years after retiring, in 2008, he was arrested in Newcastle and detained under the Mental Health Act and was later sectioned following reports that he was acting strangely in Hemel Hempstead. More recently he has been treated at The Priory again and the Providence Projects treatment centre in Bournemouth. Ms Rogers says relapses are incredibly common, and they shouldn't be seen as a failure. "It's important that we do not judge relapse because that just compounds the shame and guilt people feel about it. I took my first drink in my early teens. There were consequences from my drinking from the beginning, very small at first: arguing with friends, turning up late for social appointments, losing keys, urinating in alleyways, and general behaviours I would not engage in when I wasn't drinking. As I reached my 20s I had destroyed a marriage by now, and I was well on that alcoholic slippery downhill slope. I was starting to lose jobs as I could not be trusted to turn up for work. Into my 30s, my drinking very subtly but progressively got worse; the dry spells between my binges got shorter and shorter. I had started too waken up in strange places and also in A&E hospitals and couldn't remember how I got there. The last 10 years of my drinking, I had tried many avenues of escape in order to stop drinking completely and failed every single time. At 40 years old I was truly beaten by alcohol. I had heard and of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and had visited AA meetings in the past but nothing else, I would visit and then leave and eventually always drink again. I did not know what it was to be an alcoholic, and I had not fully admitted to myself that I was an alcoholic. Now, through AA's 12-step recovery programme, I have a productive, contented life with complete abstinence from alcohol. "Relapse can be part of recovery. That's when they really learn to move on. I've worked with people who have relapsed 20 or 30 times and have got there in the end. "Even if it is your thousandth relapse, it can still be the last. It's important not to give up." She said in order to break the cycle some people need to hit a critical point where it's "stop drinking or die". But for others, abstinence is never an option. Instead, they might work towards curbing their intake, even if it means they are still drinking far too much for good health. "Some people reduce the harm rather than stop drinking. "Some relapse every few months but still lead a fulfilling life. Even if you get a month of sobriety at least it's a month." She said there is plenty of help available to anyone struggling to keep their drinking under control. "Your first port of call should be your GP who can direct you to your local alcohol services." Support may include home-based and community detoxification programmes, counselling and group work. Friends and family also have a role to play. Friend and former England player Alan Shearer has said: "It won't be easy, but he [Gazza] needs to dig deep and find the energy and the will to do it. "What he needs to know most of all is that he is loved." The Tokyo Electric Power Company denied the meltdown for two months. The company now says the public declaration should have been done within days of the disaster. Experts have long said the melting began within hours of the reactor being struck by the tsunami. Rebirth for Japan's nuclear 'ghost town' For the first time, the company, also known as Tepco, admitted there were clear internal regulations stating when a meltdown should be declared - when damage to the reactor core exceeds 5%. The company told Japanese authorities that damage to one of the reactor cores had already passed 50% three days after the disaster, but continued to deny it publicly for two months. Tepco says it will investigate why the procedures were not followed. The meltdown at Fukushima in March 2011 happened because the plant lost power after it was swamped by the tsunami. It lost the ability to cool the nuclear reactor, leading to an explosive build-up of heat and gas. It was the worst nuclear accident since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Some 160,000 people were evacuated from the surrounding areas in the following weeks, and continuing high radiation levels mean most have never been able to return home. Japan gradually shut down all the country's nuclear plants after the disaster. Three reactors have now been restarted under new safety rules, despite strong public unease - two in Sendai and one in Takahama. Why is Japan restarting its nuclear reactors? But plans to restart the number 4 reactor at the Takahama plant may be delayed, following an incident involving the leak of contaminated water, the company Kansai Electric Power said. The original date for the restart was late February. The company said it is investigating the leak of 34 litres of slightly radioactive water at the reactor, in the western Fukui prefecture. It said in a statement that the leak "did not cause any radioactive influence on the surrounding environment". Media playback is not supported on this device Such is the supercharged media frenzy over the so-called "fight of the century", and the ramped-up interest in events here in Nevada, this will be one of the most lucrative sporting events in history, generating an estimated half a billion dollars. Floyd 'Money' Mayweather is already the richest sportsman in the world. Now the American is set to earn another $200m (£130m) for this weekend's world welterweight title fight. Opponent Manny Pacquiao will have to be content with around $130m (£85m). And the Filipino is doing well outside the ring too, having recently signed new endorsement deals with the likes of Nike, Foot Locker, and Nestle. Media playback is not supported on this device The anticipation for Mayweather v Pacquiao is understandable. After all, these are two of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters of their era - one undefeated; the other a champion of six weight divisions. Something has to give. And few sports can match boxing for sheer fervour when it comes to fight-nights such as this. And yet, despite the barely believable numbers being generated here, they are also perhaps symbolic of a sport that has sold its soul and lost its way. The fight is generating record revenue for a boxing bout. But much of that is down to the pent-up demand created by six years of negotiations over money, quarrels between television networks, and delays over drugs testing. This is the first super-fight of the social media age, and it has benefited from unprecedented levels of hype and a recovering US economy. That may be good for the fighters' bank balances, but surely the sport would have been better served if the two men had fought at their peak, not as they begin to think about retirement. The fight will generate gate receipts of $74m (£48m), breaking the record set by Mayweather's clash with Saul Alvarez in 2013. But given that it is taking place in an arena with just 16,500 seats - only 500 of them available to the public - this is hardly an event staged with the average sports fan in mind. Tickets have been advertised for hundreds of thousands of dollars, surpassing the level of demand for the Super Bowl, but most will go to members of the fighters' entourages, guests of wealthy corporations, or the casinos' most valued clients - the so-called 'high-rollers' (as long as they have credit-lines with the casino of $250,000). At the Excalibur hotel - over the road from the MGM where the fight will take place - guests are being charged $400 (£260) just to watch the action on a TV screen in a bar. Fans are even being charged to attend the weigh-in. Has sport ever felt as far from its Corinthian ideals? Media playback is not supported on this device This week I sat through one of the best attended, yet most anodyne and subdued media conferences many boxing reporters had ever witnessed when Mayweather and Pacquiao appeared together for the first time here. No need for needle, we were told. Too much mutual respect. The fight sells itself. But it was hard not to conclude that Mayweather's predictable, stock answers were indicative of a man for whom money rather than his reputation as a sportsman is now the priority. After reeling off a long list of sponsors he wanted to thank, promoter Bob Arum claimed the hype surrounding the fight was fantastic for the sport. But it is hard to see how hosting the fight in a small, exclusive arena and behind a prohibitive pay wall is the best way of exposing a new generation of fans to the sport and increasing its appeal. The fight will be watched by three to four million people in the US, many more than the record 2.4 million viewers who paid to see Mayweather take on Oscar De La Hoya in 2007. But for many others in the US, watching the fight on pay-per-view TV is simply too expensive when it costs $99 (£65) in HD. More than the interests of the sport, this is about what is good for the two fighters, their promoters, joint host broadcasters HBO and Showtime, the MGM hotel and casino, secondary ticket selling agencies, and of course the city of Las Vegas - where room rates have hit record highs. It all seems a far cry from 1995 when 28 million Americans tuned in to see Mike Tyson beat Buster Mathis on Fox. Or 1985 when 19 million TV viewers across Britain watched Barry McGuigan become world champion. I visited McGuigan last week at the gym he runs with his son in Battersea. He would not begrudge the fighters maximising the money they could make, and pointed to the dangers involved. Like Arum, he insisted the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was a huge shot in the arm for a sport that has seen its popularity fade in recent years. While acknowledging the rampant commercialism behind the event, he was delighted that boxing was back in the headlines, and providing 2015 with arguably its biggest sporting moment. There are indeed causes for some optimism. Al Haymon - Mayweather's adviser - has recently invested $20m establishing the Premier Boxing Championship in the US. In partnership with NBC, the PBC series is an attempt to return boxing to the mainstream - staging fights on network television with the aim of building a new audience. McGuigan himself is doing his bit to return the sport to terrestrial screens on this side of the Atlantic, having struck a deal with ITV to televise his fighter Carl Frampton's bout with Chris Avalos back in February, the channel's first world title fight since 2008. The free-to-air show attracted an audience of almost two million. The fact 80,000 people turned up at Wembley last June to watch Carl Froch fight George Groves is further encouragement. Media playback is not supported on this device Yet the sport still has a long way to go before confounding those who have predicted its death. The confusing and fractured competitive landscape created by having four sanctioning organisations, with no single governing body, continues to do untold damage. After years of mismanagement, greed and corruption, there are too many belts, too few household names, and growing competition from mixed martial arts such as UFC. The fear remains that Mayweather v Pacquiao is a one-off. The interest and money generated by what is being described as boxing's last great super-fight proves that the sport retains appeal, even today in such a crowded sporting marketplace. But don't necessarily expect it to restore the credibility of a sport that has a long way to go before staging the revival it craves. This may be the most lucrative fight in boxing history, but its legacy remains harder to predict. The hosts took a 14th-minute lead when strikers Bobby-Joe Taylor and Alex Flisher combined for the latter to net his fourth goal of the campaign with a tidy finish. Neither goalkeeper had been threatened after the break, until the bottom club equalised through on-loan striker Reece Webb-Foster, who made space for himself before bending the ball expertly into the far corner. There were then chances for both sides as Guiseley pushed on, but Adam Boyes' late cutback could not be converted before substitute Jordan Preston went close twice.

About 1,000 people also turned out to welcome the two rowers at Cork airport on Sunday night. They were on a flight with 20 other members of the Irish rowing team who competed at the world championships in Rotterdam. Paul O'Donovan claimed a gold medal at that event. That was in the men's single lightweight sculls. The O'Donovan brothers joined the plane's captain and co-pilot in the cockpit on Sunday night as the airport's fire and rescue service provided the plane with a water cannon salute. The brothers' parents Teddy and Trish O'Donovan were also on board the plane. Monday night's official homecoming for the O'Donovan brothers in Skibbereen included an open top bus parade through the town. Julie Beech, the head of of Sunnyfields Primary School in Doncaster, was found to have amended one answer each from eight pupils in the 2014 Year 6 exams. The school in South Yorkshire was under pressure to improve after an Ofsted report in 2013 found "too few pupils" did well at Key Stage 2. Ms Beech, 51, can appeal against the ban in two years. A National College for Teaching and Leadership panel found Ms Beech had a previously "unblemished" record and was respected by her colleagues at the 257-pupil school in Rose Crescent. But her conduct amounted to "unacceptable professional conduct", the panel said, and fell "significantly short" of the standards expected. The panel added: "The teacher's status as head teacher would have left her in no doubt that what she was doing was dishonest and would be viewed as such." Ms Beech changed pupils' answers on five mental maths tests and three spelling tests.

The top of the table looks tighter after second-placed Liverpool dropped points at Sunderland, to allow Manchester City and Manchester United to make up ground. At the bottom, Swansea's win away to Crystal Palace moved them off the bottom and could prove vital in the final reckoning come May. Here's my team of the week. Do you agree with it? Choose your own from a shortlist compiled by BBC Sport journalists. Pick your XI from our list and share with your friends. I do like this keeper. Since the long-term injury to Jack Butland, Lee Grant has deputised brilliantly. Stoke needed their win over Watford particularly after the run-around they got at Stamford Bridge, and the clean sheet will come in handy as well. Stoke City have a history of signing great keepers, notably former England internationals Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton. Although I wouldn't put Grant in that bracket, he's proved to be an exceptional acquisition. When Rangel scored the winner for Swansea in their potentially vital meeting with Crystal Palace, what I wanted to know was: what was the full-back doing so far up the pitch in open play in the first place? I'm not entirely sure how much new boss Paul Clement had to do with this victory but the evidence suggests that whenever caretaker coach Alan Curtis takes the reins at Swansea he has a positive impact on the team. And while we are on the issue of the new Swansea manager, I must also take issue with my old Final Score sparring partner Steve Claridge's remark that Clement was "lucky to get the job". I can think of couple of managers I might have considered first, but we all need a certain amount of good fortune whenever we apply for a post. Surely the point is what we do with the job once we get it, isn't it? They say revenge is a dish best served cold. White Hart Lane was red hot against Chelsea but, let's not kid ourselves, Spurs have waited some time to pay back the vitriol they received at Stamford Bridge when their title ambitions evaporated in a 2-2 draw at the end of last season. I was at that game and Spurs have clearly grown up a great deal since then. Alderweireld has been central to that development and was outstanding against an out-gunned Chelsea. Spurs have done Liverpool, Manchester City and, dare I say it, Arsenal a massive favour. Chelsea will just have to lick their wounds and get over it. He's only gone and done it again. I can't think of another current central defender who scores goals from set plays with such monotonous regularity. McAuley's goal against Hull was his fourth in the Premier League this season and the way he attacks the ball in the opposition's box is a delight to watch. The Baggies and McAuley have had an interesting Christmas period. It was West Brom's centre-back who manager Tony Pulis identified as being bullied by Olivier Giroud in the final minutes of the game against Arsenal, which resulted in their 1-0 defeat. However McAuley is a real professional and both manager and player know that in the final analysis the central defender can be relied upon. Manchester City may be remodelling their dressing-room area at the Etihad, but they badly needed to reconfigure the team after three defeats in December. But to leave out Sergio Aguero against Burnley? What was boss Pep Guardiola thinking? That the only striker in the Premier league who Alan Shearer believes deserves the tag 'world class' is left out when goals were guaranteed against Burnley just didn't make sense. So it was left to a full-back to provide the much needed inspiration Guardiola was demanding from his fans at half-time. Clichy doesn't command a regular place in the team these days but his performance against a very dangerous Burnley was inspired. When the Frenchman attacks he does so with pace and conviction, but the way he cut inside and arrowed his shot past an in-form Tom Heaton in the Clarets' goal was most impressive. As for Guardiola's half-time plea to his fans to pipe up and encourage his team - I thought it was supposed to be the other way round and the players were to inspire the fans. Did you see Alexis Sanchez as he walked off the Vitality Stadium pitch? He had a face like thunder and was remonstrating with himself about Arsenal's inability to take their title opportunities seriously - or at least that was what it looked like. He was furious and had every right to be. Arsenal fans can pacify themselves all they want about their brilliant comeback against Bournemouth, but if they do they will have badly missed the point. Arsenal should have knocked the Cherries out of the park and Sanchez knew it. This is the real reason why I believe Sanchez and team-mate Mesut Ozil are considering whether to re-sign for the Gunners or not. Players like these know what it takes to win titles because they've done it before elsewhere and at the moment Arsenal simply don't have what it takes. Has Ross Barkley finally come of age, or is it just an interesting phase he's going through? The midfield player's performance against Southampton was superb. He ran the show. The reason I posed the question was because as the transfer window approaches Everton manager Ronald Koeman has to decide whether Barkley is his main man or not. If Koeman decides that Barkley is the future and makes purchases in areas other than central midfield during the transfer window it could prove to be a seminal moment for both of them. Get it wrong and it could signal their demise. What a performance by Dele Alli. It has been some time since I've seen a Tottenham midfield player show so much composure in front of goal. I have always maintained that I've only seen Alli perform in games of lesser importance rather than the really big matches. However they don't get much bigger than Spurs against Chelsea when the Blues are going for a record number of victories and to cement their lead at the top of the table. This was not only a great performance by Spurs but, for me, the birth of a special player. Regular readers of my Team of the Week will know that I don't normally select a substitute unless he has been a game changer. Manchester United's Marcus Rashford was that player against a desperately unfortunate 10-man West Ham. The player had only been on the pitch for a little over 30 minutes and he transformed the match. It was just as well because referee Mike Dean practically destroyed it with another dismissal this time after only 15 minutes. I'm beginning to wonder whether the Premier League can afford Mike Dean. He's bad for business. When he sent off Southampton's Nathan Redmond for an innocuous trip on Tottenham's Dele Alli on 28 December I said Dean should "consider his position". Now it's time for the Professional Game Match Official Board to carefully think through whether his judgement has become impaired. He seems to be the only referee intent on ruining evenly balanced contests for the viewing public by sending players off totally unnecessarily. It's time for him to go. When you have played 450 games in top-flight football you are entitled to some respect, especially when you crown your 451st with two spot-kicks that might save your team from relegation. Defoe kept his nerve brilliantly in difficult circumstances against Liverpool but all credit to Jurgen Klopp's side, who put together another tremendous effort within 48 hours of the victory against Manchester City. If anyone had any doubts that the Premier League is the best in the world they can disabuse themselves of that notion now. The level of entertainment, the quality of the performance and the intensity of the contests over the most intensive 10-day period, while other continental leagues have been sleeping, is a testimony to the product. No other league in the world offers global customers what the Premier League offers. To all the players, managers and staff, thank you for upholding a marvellous tradition and providing us with the most glorious entertainment. This lad has had an amazing Christmas period. He stole a result out of West Brom, scored arguably the goal of the season against Crystal Palace and pulled Arsenal out of the fire against Bournemouth. Giroud has had to play second fiddle to Sanchez up front but appears to have done so without rancour. When he has been asked to perform he has done so brilliantly. This was another magnificent display of commitment and desire from two very different sides. Bournemouth gave everything and Eddie Howe, while disappointed with the final outcome, must have been very proud of his boys and the way they equipped themselves throughout this torturous period. As for Arsenal? As good a comeback as it was I saw all the reasons why I think they cannot, I repeat cannot, win the title. They are too busy looking good and simply aren't ruthless enough. Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said this would send "a clear signal: Nato will respond as one to any aggression against any ally". Many eastern members have raised concerns over what they see as Russia's attempt to destabilise the region. But Moscow argues that it is the alliance's increased presence there that is having the detrimental effect. The meeting in Brussels will also discuss what are known as hybrid challenges - attacks that combine conventional, irregular and cyber warfare. "I expect defence ministers to agree to enhance our forward presence in the eastern part of our alliance," Mr Stoltenberg said. This forward deployment may involve no more than 6,000 troops on rotation, diplomatic sources told AFP news agency. Mr Stoltenberg was quoted as saying there was no going back "to the days of the Cold War where we had hundreds of thousands of troops on bases". Other measures could include stockpiling military equipment and building new infrastructure. But the moves are themselves destabilising and designed to contain Russia, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, according to Reuters news agency. The meeting comes a week after the US announced it was proposing quadrupling its budget for European defence in 2017 in the light of what US Defence Secretary Ash Carter called "Russian aggression" - a likely reference to its role in the Ukraine crisis and its 2014 annexation of Crimea. Nato leaders are expected to formally endorse the plans at a July summit in Poland. The Nato leaders will also discuss the rise in migrants attempting to reach Europe by sea. The buyer handed the animal in after he realised its rarity, police said. Officers described the man as a good Samaritan for ensuring the tortoise's return, saying he lost money in the transaction. Perth Zoo keepers believed the 10-year-old radiated tortoise stolen was taken from its enclosure last Tuesday. It is not the first time a radiated tortoise had gone missing from the zoo - two tortoises were stolen from the same enclosure in 2011. Native to the island of Madagascar, radiated tortoises are critically endangered due to habitat loss and poaching. Green's Mill, in Sneinton, Nottingham, had to stop operating last year when two of the sails were discovered to be rotten. Specialist millwrights built two sails and restored the other two ready for hanging on Monday. However, after the setback, staff said work would recommence on 23 March. Green's Windmill tweeted: "Bad news folks... the cherry picker has broken down, so no new sails today. Work to recommence Monday. Sorry for the let down." The sails stopped turning in April last year when a problem with two of the panels was discovered but the repairs company could not start work before October. They were recently delivered on Monday and were due to be raised later. Jamie Duff, heritage officer at the mill, said: "It is disappointing, we were all very excited... we thought today was the day. "There's no point in being too disappointed." The charity needed £40,000 to pay for the repairs which it raised through events in the community and grants. Scunthorpe could have led inside 20 seconds when Duane Holmes pounced on Kevin Toner's under-hit backpass, but he fired wide with only keeper Neil Etheridge to beat. But they only had to wait until the 11th minute to break the deadlock when Liam Kinsella handled from a corner and Morris swept home the penalty. It was 2-0 on 13 minutes when Etheridge saved well from Tom Hopper only for Morris to slam home the rebound. Walsall pulled a goal back in the 45th minute when Erhun Oztumer finished a neat run by finding the bottom corner from 18 yards. They could have been level seconds later, but Simeon Jackson was foiled from close range by Iron keeper Luke Daniels. That save would prove key as, just two minutes into the second half, Scunthorpe midfielder Neal Bishop lashed home from 25 yards. Etheridge made fine saves from Holmes, Sam Mantom and Hopper to keep Walsall in it, but Morris curled a beauty into the top corner to make it 4-1 on 83 minutes and substitute Kevin van Veen almost added a fifth with a lob that clipped the bar.

First Minister Carwyn Jones told AMs an internal inquiry was launched after a report in the Western Mail about how much Michael Carrick stood to earn. Ministers have turned down a request to help fund the motor racing track near Ebbw Vale as being too risky. They learnt that helping to underwrite the circuit could cost £373m. The money would have come out of the Welsh Government's capital allowance which could otherwise be spent on schools and hospitals. Plaid Cymru is calling for an independent investigation into the Welsh Government's handling of the project. Ministers have promised to publish the results of a due diligence study into the circuit, but only during the assembly's summer recess. At First Minister's Questions in the Senedd on Tuesday, Plaid leader Leanne Wood accused the government of trying to "postpone scrutiny". Mr Jones said talks were under way with the companies involved, saying: "We want to publish as much of it as possible." In the eight-hour exercise, actors in various parts of the UK are simulating symptoms to test the responses of emergency services and the government. Ebola has killed more than 4,000 people worldwide, and a UN expert has said the world will live with it "forever" unless global action stops the virus. Passenger screening is to be introduced at key UK airports and rail terminals. Similar measures are being taken in the US, with screening under way at New York's JFK airport and checks at some other airports due to start in the coming days. As part of the UK effort to help contain the outbreak, the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Argus, a medical ship, is being loaded with supplies in Falmouth ahead of a mission to Sierra Leone. Meanwhile, Macedonian officials have said test results have proved a British man suspected to have died of Ebola did not have the virus. The national exercise, ordered by Prime Minister David Cameron, is expected to include a simulated meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee, to be chaired by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt. Some hospital staff were expected to wear personal protective equipment during the exercise. A Department of Health spokesman said officials had been planning the response to an Ebola case in the UK for "many months". "It is vital that we test these plans in as realistic a situation as possible - with real people," the spokesman said. Figures from the World Health Organization show there have been 4,024 confirmed or suspected Ebola deaths in the worst-affected West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone during the current outbreak. In total, there have been 8,399 confirmed or suspected cases, mostly in West Africa. Dr David Nabarro, UN special envoy on Ebola, said "just about every country in the world", and many non-governmental organisations, needed to support afflicted countries, otherwise it would be "impossible" to get the virus quickly under control. If this was not done, he said, the world "will have to live with the Ebola virus forever". "This is a real challenge to all of us that's going to require every piece of ingenuity and collective action that we can mount," he told the UN. Dr Nabarro said in many of the West African communities affected, the day of death was one of important rituals which, if not observed, undermined "the very fabric of society". "Yet people who are dying of Ebola are very dangerous and if they're touched and if they're held at that moment of death they can infect large numbers of other people," he said. The government this week said people arriving from areas hit by Ebola would face "enhanced screening" at Heathrow and Gatwick airports, as well as at Eurostar terminals. Ministers initially said there were no plans to screen people arriving from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. However, a Downing Street spokesman said the decision to introduce Ebola screening had been based on advice from the Chief Medical Officer, Dame Sally Davies. Ebola symptoms: What to do in the UK Symptoms of Ebola include fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhoea and bleeding - but these are similar to more common infections like flu and some stomach bugs. If you have these symptoms and have had contact with an Ebola patient, ring 111 first. Do not go directly to A&E or a GP. If there has been no contact with Ebola, seek help from 111, your GP or A&E if necessary. The chances of developing Ebola in the UK are low. Passengers will be asked questions and potentially given a medical assessment during the screening process, Downing Street said. The Department of Health said further details about how passengers will be checked will be announced next week before the measures come into effect. In a statement it said "government departments, health protection agencies and the transport sector are continuing to work closely together to minimise the risk" of the virus. "It is important to stress that given the nature of this disease, no system could offer 100% protection from non-symptomatic cases but the overall risk to the public in the UK remains very low," the statement said. Mr Cameron said it was right to take action "to keep our own people safe" from Ebola. "What we do is we listen to the medical advice and we act on that advice and that's why we're introducing the screening processes at the appropriate ports and airports," he said. Mr Cameron said the government was focussed on taking action "right across the board to deal with this problem at source". "We're making a bigger contribution than almost any other country, in West Africa, to help deal with the crisis at its source," he said. However, David Mabey, professor of communicable diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said the screening was a "complete waste of time". There are currently no direct flights to the UK from the affected areas, but people can fly via Paris or Brussels. "Are they going to screen everyone from Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam? That would lead to a lot of delays and disruption," he said. More than 750 military personnel and RFA Argus are being sent to West Africa to help in efforts to contain the outbreak. RFA Argus, which has a fully equipped hospital including critical care and high-dependency units, will leave for Sierra Leone next week. It will travel with three Merlin helicopters, aircrew and engineers to provide transport and support to medical teams and aid workers. Personnel from the Army's 22 Field Hospital have been training in York and are expected to be sent to west Africa in the coming weeks to run a 12-bed facility specifically to treat medics who have caught Ebola. Surgical cap Goggles Medical mask Scrubs Overalls Apron Double gloves Boots Respirator The cap forms part of a protective hood covering the head and neck. It offers medical workers an added layer of protection, ensuring that they cannot touch any part of their face whilst in the treatment centre. Goggles, or eye visors, are used to provide cover to the eyes, protecting them from splashes. The goggles are sprayed with an anti-fogging solution before being worn. On October 21, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced stringent new guidelines for healthcare personnel who may be dealing with Ebola patients. In the new guidelines, health workers are advised to use a single use disposable full face shield as goggles may not provide complete skin coverage. Covers the mouth to protect from sprays of blood or body fluids from patients. When wearing a respirator, the medical worker must tear this outer mask to allow the respirator through. A respirator is worn to protect the wearer from a patient's coughs. According to guidelines from the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the respirator should be put on second, right after donning the overalls. A surgical scrub suit, durable hospital clothing that absorbs liquid and is easily cleaned, is worn as a baselayer underneath the overalls. It is normally tucked into rubber boots to ensure no skin is exposed. The overalls are placed on top of the scrubs. These suits are similar to hazardous material (hazmat) suits worn in toxic environments. The team member supervising the process should check that the equipment is not damaged. A minimum two sets of gloves are required, covering the suit cuff. When putting on the gloves, care must be taken to ensure that no skin is exposed and that they are worn in such a way that any fluid on the sleeve will run off the suit and glove. Medical workers must change gloves between patients, performing thorough hand hygiene before donning a new pair. Heavy duty gloves are used whenever workers need to handle infectious waste. A waterproof apron is placed on top of the overalls as a final layer of protective clothing. Ebola health workers typically wear rubber boots, with the scrubs tucked into the footwear. If boots are unavailable, workers must wear closed, puncture and fluid-resistant shoes. Evans issued a statement hours after it emerged League One side Oldham Athletic would not be signing the player. He was jailed in April 2012 for raping a woman, 19, at a north Wales hotel. The 26-year-old said: "I wholeheartedly apologise for the effects that night in Rhyl has had on many people, not least the woman concerned." Evans later released a statement on his own website blaming 'mob rule' for the collapse of talks with the Latics. Evans said "the more radical elements of our society" had the "desired influence on some sponsors". He added: "The most significant issue for me was that owing to the threat of funding opportunities being withdrawn which may jeopardise the building of Oldham's new stand, it would mean that workers would lose their jobs and others would be put at risk - that would simply not be fair." Prime Minister David Cameron told BBC North West Tonight he "believed in giving people a second chance" but that it was "unrealistic" for Evans to expect to get straight back into the sport. He said: "Perhaps he needs to do more to put back in to the community some sense of atonement for what he's done before he restarts his career." Wales international Evans was released from prison in October 2014 after serving half of his five-year sentence but attempts to resume his football career have met with widespread opposition. Oldham issued a statement later on Thursday condemning "death threats to fans, sponsors and staff" while explaining their decision to pull out of plans to sign Evans. "The whole issue has divided opinion and the club has been put under unbearable pressure as a result," read the statement. "Proceeding could have placed significant financial pressure on the club and continued to be a divisive influence. As a consequence the deal could not go ahead. "As a club we condemn all crime including rape and, irrespective of any appeal procedure, it was always the case that we were prepared to withstand the barrage of abuse that is evident within the country and on social media. "We deplore and condemn the vile and abusive threats, some including death threats, which have been made to our fans, sponsors and staff whilst this process has been in the public domain. "Finally, we would like to place on record our gratitude to all who have supported the club during this difficult period. "That includes the club staff, who have retained their focus throughout and in addition to Ched and his team who have acted with professionalism at all times." Sheffield United similarly shelved plans to sign their former striker in November, following a public outcry. Evans had been criticised for failing to apologise to his victim, but, in a statement issued via the Professional Footballers' Association, he said: "Upon legal advice, I was told not to discuss the events in question. "This silence has been misinterpreted as arrogance and I would like to state that this could not be further from the truth. "I do remain limited at present by what I can say due to the ongoing referral to the Criminal Cases Review Commission and whilst I continue to maintain my innocence, I wish to make it clear that I wholeheartedly apologise for the effects that night in Rhyl has had on many people, not least the woman concerned. "Finally, it has been claimed that those using social media in an abusive and vindictive way towards this woman are supporters of mine. I wish to make it clear that these people are not my supporters and I condemn their actions entirely and will continue to do so." However Jill Saward, who campaigns for victims of rape, told BBC Radio 5 live she thought it was a "pretty weak statement that's been put together by solicitors". She said: "Well I think it's too little, too late really. I think that the damage has been done, the damage has been done for years and particularly in the past three months since his release." The PFA also issued a statement to clarify its position. It read: "We have had some discussions with Oldham Athletic regarding the interest they expressed in signing Ched, although we feel it is important to make clear that, contrary to what has been reported, we were not 'driving' any deal. "As we understand it, the club and player were in discussions and contact was then made with the PFA as matters progressed given the particular circumstances of this situation and we were simply being asked to publicly reiterate our support for the club in signing him. "Despite being ready to offer this from the outset, we were asked to delay whilst discussions between the club and player continued, and we were disappointed to see over the course of this week, comments being made which we feel mischaracterise our limited role in this matter. "The PFA's position remains the same, as we have expressed previously, that any club which decides to sign him would receive our support. "We fully recognise that this is a delicate and emotive case and entirely respect that there are opposing views." The Oldham Athletic Supporters' Trust issued a statement urging fans to respect staff at the club. "This is an emotive issue and as such we would ask that all members and fans respect the views of their fellow supporters in the general debate," read the statement. "You certainly have a right to free thought and free speech, but we would ask that you please try to avoid abusive comments and conduct. "We would especially ask all fans and others to respect the staff of the club who have unfortunately been subjected to extreme and unnecessary attacks and threats whilst doing no more than their jobs." Greater Manchester Police's chief constable Sir Peter Fahy said his force would investigate threats to Oldham's staff and their families. But GMP later released a statement that no threats were currently being investigated as they had yet to receive any complaints. "It is totally unacceptable," Sir Peter told BBC Radio 5 live. "We will be contacting Oldham Athletic to make sure that it's investigated." Jim McMahon, the leader of Oldham Council, urged "all sides of the debate to show restraint and calm". "In recent days, we've seen an horrendous 'trial by social media' with intimidation, abuse and harassment on a scale that has cast a terrible shadow," said McMahon. "The whole episode has divided the town and public opinion and there are no winners in all this, not least the reputation of our club and town."

There are also one-year development contracts for batsman Jeremy Lawlor and fellow Cardiff MCCU product Jack Murphy, a fast bowler who was affected by injury in 2015. Chief executive Hugh Morris said: "These home-grown cricket talents are all capable of succeeding and achieving honours for Glamorgan." The county has also recently announced a contract extension for batsman Chris Cooke until 2018. Among the more recognisable names are Lucie Jones and Danyl Johnson, who both featured in the 2009 series, which was eventually won by Joe McElderry. Jones's song has the best pedigree: Never Give Up On You is written by 2013 Eurovision winner, Emmelie de Forest. TV talent has good form at Eurovision, with two previous winners graduating from singing contests like X Factor. Swedish singer Loreen, who won the competition in 2012, was previously a runner-up on Swedish Idol, where she performed under the name Loren Talhaoui. More recently, Mans Zelmerlow triumphed at the 2015 contest - having earned his stripes on Swedish Idol and Let's Dance, which is his home country's version of Strictly. This year's UK's entry will be selected on Friday, 27 January, in a live BBC Two show hosted by Mel Giedroyc. A combination of viewer and jury votes will decide the winning song - with Bruno Tonioli and Sophie Ellis-Bextor forming part of the eight-person jury. Danyl Johnson - Light Up the World Former schoolteacher Danyl Johnson was, at one point, the bookies' favourite to win X Factor 2009. He eventually came fourth - losing out to Joe McElderry and runner-up Olly Murs - and earned brief notoriety after being (sort-of) outed by Danni Minogue. The singer, who currently works as an ambassador for the People's Postcode Lottery, enters Eurovision with a empowering dance track about "shining a light in the darkness" - harking back to Katrina and the Waves' Eurovision-winning song in 1997. It aims for anthemic but ends up sounding anaemic. Key lyric: "We couldn't see, yeah, standing in the dark." Holly Brewer - I Wish I Loved You More Holly has previously sung at the wedding of Mark Wright (The Only Way is Essex) and Michelle Keegan (Coronation Street) - and received four "yeses" from the X Factor judges in 2015. However, producers axed her from the programme by phone in a pre-bootcamp contestant cull - Cowell and co presumably underestimated the cost of accommodation in Wembley. Never fear, for now Holly is returning with a power ballad co-written by Courtney Harrell, a former contestant on The Voice US. A decent effort which sounds like it could have been found on Kelly Clarkson's studio floor. Key lyric: "You're the sunlight the the preacher talks about. Ooh-ooh, Amen." Lucie Jones - Never Give Up on You Lucie Jones will be remembered by the die-hard X Factor enthusiasts for coming eighth in the 2009 series - finishing behind fellow Eurovision hopeful Danyl Johnson and, er, Jedward. While she might have crashed out of the live finals fairly early, she should be more confident of winning the UK Eurovision race - as her song is co-written by Emmelie de Forest - the Danish singer-songwriter who won the song contest in 2013. Her vocals have improved remarkably since 2009, but the song is untroubled by percussion and ends up a slightly dreary piano ballad (not necessarily an obstacle to Eurovision victory). Key lyric: "Together we'll dance through this storm." Nate Simpson - What Are We Made Of? "You opened your mouth and Jesus came out," said Nicole Scherzinger when Slough-born Nate Simpson auditioned for the X Factor last year. That didn't stop her kicking him out at the judges's houses round, though. Maybe if he'd kept Jesus in there for a little longer... The 23-year-old is hoping to go to Eurovision with the piano ballad What Are We Made Of?. It has a key change before the first chorus, which gives you an indication of what you're in for. Key lyric: "We're breathing underwater and the struggle makes us stronger." Olivia Garcia - Freedom Hearts Canadian singer Laurell Barker has been busy on the songwriting front this year because, as well as penning Holly's song, she has writing credits on Olivia Garcia's. Olivia is fresh from the most recent series of X Factor. She made it as far as judges houses, but Simon Cowell sadly didn't take her through to the live shows. She's now joined the Eurovision race with a propulsive ballad that could lend itself to a dramatic staging (we're thinking acrobats and a tug of war). Garcia's vocal acrobatics, meanwhile, do a good job of showing Cowell what he missed. Key lyric: "Shiny hair and shoes, how about me and you?" Salena Mastroianni - I Don't Wanna Fight A distant relative of the Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni (La Dolce Vita; Divorce, Italian Style) Salena has a degree in fashion, but ditched the runway to pursue a career in music. After working as a wedding singer for four years, she auditioned for X Factor in 2012 but failed to progress beyond the initial stages. Instantly catchy, her song I Don't Wanna Fight is the most contemporary of this year's Eurovision entries, with a trance-house beat that's proved successful for other countries in recent years. Although the lyrics appear to carry an anti-war sentiment, Mastroianni says the song is about a relationship. Key lyric: "Why can't we put our weapons down?"

Ryan Giggs and Gianfranco Zola have been linked with the Swansea job, but Amat believes things are improving. "We believe in him and our ideas so we have to keep playing like this and the results will come," he said. "All the team believe in Francesco, we agree with him all the time, we are working so hard and we showed the crowd we can play very good football against one of the best teams in the Premier League." Swansea's American owners, Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan, have been alarmed by the Swans' recent poor form. With difficult fixtures against Liverpool on Saturday and Arsenal to come, however, it is understood the quality of Swansea's next few performances will have as much bearing on Guidolin's future as the results. Having been unimpressive in defeat at Southampton, there was a marked improvement in Saturday's encounter with Premier League leaders City. Former Udinese boss Guidolin joined Swansea in January as head coach and was given a two-year contract in May. Amat says the Swans now need luck to go with their improved form. "Against Manchester City the performance was good, but we need some luck as well," he said. Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. Media playback is not supported on this device Riders sealed their place as British basketball's major force with Sunday's 84-63 play-off final win over Newcastle Eagles in London's O2 Arena. It secured a second treble, having also won the league title and BBL Trophy. "It's hard for me to think about any season that has been better," Paternostro told BBC Radio Leicester. "I love this team. I love how we play and how hard we work. "Trophies are awesome," said the 44-year-old American. "But any coach of any team in any sport wants a team who play hard and stay together. "Although we jumped out into a big lead, I'm a notorious worrier. But there's no better feeling in a final than, with five or six minutes left, knowing it's going to your name on the trophy. "And to do it in front of a crowd of 16-17, 000 in a world-class arena is the icing on top of a magical season." Having already retained both the BBL Trophy in March and the BBL league title in April, this latest triumph, their second play-off final victory, became the ninth piece of silverware the club have won now in five seasons. Paternostro was named as BBL coach of the year for the fourth time earlier this month. Free trips left from the bus depot in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, on Sunday using vehicles that used to run in south Wales up to 80 years ago. A charity was formed in 1992 when enthusiasts got together to preserve a 1961 Cardiff bus they found in Hull. The Cardiff Transport Preservation Group now has more than 180 members and more than 40 historic vehicles. These include the oldest bus - a 1933 double decker used by Rhondda Transport, a World War Two-era 1944 Pontypridd bus and a 1968 Cardiff bus from when the city still had overhead wires for electric trolleybuses. Buses left the depot every half hour between 10:30 BST and 16:30 on Sunday. The local authority owns the North Tower and is leading a study into how it could be made available to tourists. Built in stages in the 1800s on the site of previous historic castles, the sprawling Inverness Castle was first used as a county hall and later a jail. In more recent times it has served as Inverness Sheriff Court. But because the tower is owned by the local authority it could be opened up to visitors sooner than other parts of the site. The viewing platform, which would give views of Inverness and the surrounding landscape, could be opened to the public next year or early 2016. Highland Council joined the Scottish government in setting up a working group earlier this year in a broader project looking at the castle's future tourism potential. The Argentina forward, back after three weeks out with a groin problem, scored his side's fourth seconds after coming off the bench. Rafinha had put the hosts in control with a first-half brace, before Luis Suarez's clinical finish made it 3-0. Deportivo's Laure was sent off for an elbow on Neymar in the second half. Wins for Atletico Madrid, Real and Sevilla mean Barcelona remain fourth in the table. Messi's display will be particularly pleasing for coach Luis Enrique before the visit of Manchester City in the Champions League next week. That game will mark the return of former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, whose City side were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Media playback is not supported on this device Ivorian Bony, 27, has made 15 league starts since joining City for £28m from Swansea in January 2015, but had not featured under new boss Pep Guardiola. The Potters have also signed Porto and Netherlands defender Bruno Martins Indi, 24, on loan for the season with a view to a permanent deal. Derby goalkeeper Lee Grant, 33, has joined on loan until January. Stoke have also signed 17-year-old defender Cameron McJannett from Luton for an undisclosed fee. Meanwhile, defender Philipp Wollscheid has left the club to join Bundesliga side Wolfsburg on a season-long loan and 26-year-old forward Joselu has joined Spanish side Deportivo la Coruna on a similar deal. "Bringing Wilfried in was a no-brainer for us," Potters manager Mark Hughes said. "He has power, speed and very good physical attributes." Stoke targeted Ivory Coast international Bony as there had been no development in their attempt to sign West Brom forward Saido Berahino. Last week, West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic said he was interested in signing Bony, who has three years left to run on his contract at Etihad Stadium.

Bradford East MP David Ward said in a blog post he had been "trying to make clear that everybody needs to learn the lessons of the Holocaust". He had made his initial comments ahead of Sunday's Holocaust Memorial Day. On Friday, his party "condemned" his "use of language". He was also summoned to a meeting with party whips next week. Last week he said he was "saddened that the Jews, who suffered unbelievable levels of persecution during the Holocaust, could within a few years of liberation from the death camps be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians in the new State of Israel and continue to do so on a daily basis in the West Bank and Gaza". But in a blog posting on Saturday he apologised, saying: "I never for a moment intended to criticise or offend the Jewish people as a whole, either as a race or as a people of faith, and apologise sincerely for the unintended offence which my words caused. "I recognise, of course, the deep sensitivities of these issues at all times, and particularly on occasions of commemoration such as this weekend." He said his criticisms "of actions since 1948 in the Palestinian territories in the name of the state of Israel remain as strong as ever". He added: "I will continue to make criticisms of actions in Palestine in the strongest possible terms for as long as Israel continues to oppress the Palestinian people." In the article published on his website on Friday, Mr Ward had looked ahead to Holocaust Memorial Day, which marks the 68th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp. More than one million people - mostly Jews - died at the camp. The article said he supported efforts "to combat prejudice and racism today" by the Holocaust Educational Trust and had honoured "those who were persecuted and killed during the Holocaust" by signing "a book of commitment". His initial comments drew criticism from his own party, as well as the Holocaust Educational Trust and the Board of Deputies of British Jews. The Israeli embassy said Mr Ward's comments demonstrated a "shocking insensitivity to the feelings of both Holocaust survivors and Israeli victims of terrorism". Embassy spokesman Amir Ofek said: "David Ward's comments show a troubling ignorance of the brutal campaign of terrorist attacks waged against Israeli children, women and men by Palestinian terrorist groups, and of the extraordinary efforts made by Israel to protect its citizens in an effective and humane manner." Earlier in the week, Mr Ward's party said: "This is a matter we take extremely seriously. The Liberal Democrats deeply regret and condemn the statement issued by David Ward and his use of language which is unacceptable." On Saturday, a party spokesman said this position had not changed and he was still set to meet party whips. Mr Ward had, at first, reacted by telling BBC News he had chosen his words carefully and did not regret the timing of the statement. "I've spoken to the chief whip and he's got his views. I don't feel bad about it in any way. They consider my comments regrettable - I consider their reprimand regrettable," he added. Update August 2013: This story has been amended following a complaint to the BBC Trust's editorial standards committee which was partly upheld. The 903kg (1,990lb) haul of the drug, also called ice, is estimated to have a street value of A$898m (£546m; $680m), Justice Minister Michael Keenan says. The drugs were found hidden in 70 boxes of wooden floorboards at a warehouse in Melbourne, according to the Australian Federal Police (AFP). Two men have been charged with drug trafficking offences. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull praised the police operation, describing drug traffickers as "merchants of death". "This was nearly a tonne of ice, so this is a great credit to our border protection and our police in confiscating this enormous shipment," he said. The operation followed an investigation into an international group. Authorities said the drugs probably originated in Asia, but they did not say where. "You can see a fairly sophisticated concealment methodology where organised crime groups are going to great lengths to try and thwart the activities of law enforcement, particularly our border controls," AFP Assistant Commissioner Neil Gaughan said. "But we are united in bringing these people to justice." The arrested men, both from Melbourne, are aged 53 and 36. Police were looking for two other suspects. In 2015, Australia's government established a national taskforce to tackle the growing use of crystal methamphetamine, which has become the most common illicit drug in the country. The move followed a report by the Australian Crime Commission that found ice posed the highest risk to communities of any illegal substance. American Horror Story: Freak Show and mini-series Olive Kitteridge received 19 and 13 nominations. House of Cards, Mad Men are up for 11 nominations while Downton Abbey and Wolf Hall are up for eight. Wolf Hall's Mark Rylance is up against Ricky Gervais and David Oyelowo in the best actor in a mini-series or film category. Gervais is shortlisted for his role in the Derek Special while Oyelowo has been recognised for his role as Peter Snowden in Nightingale. Rylance's co-star Damian Lewis is nominated for best supporting actor for his role as Henry VIII in Wolf Hall. Emma Thompson is up for best actress in a mini-series or film for her part in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street Live From Lincoln Center - she is up against Maggie Gyllenhaal for her role in the BBC drama The Honourable Woman. Queen Latifah, Jessica Lange, Felicity Huffman and Frances McDormand have also been nominated in that category. Notable omissions include Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory who has won four times for best actor in a comedy and is the best paid actor on US television. Julianna Margulies, who won best actress in a drama series for The Good Wife last year, didn't get a nomination and hit show Empire missed out on a best drama nomination. There are nominations for former Friends co-stars - Matt Le Blanc, who played Joey, has been nominated for his part in comedy series Episodes while Lisa Kudrow aka Phoebe has made the shortlist for her part in The Comeback. Gervais's Office collaborator Stephen Merchant has landed a nomination for his TV movie Hello Ladies: The Movie - he has a writing nod for that film too. It is up against ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot: Curtain, Poirot's Last Case, Bessie, Killing Jesus, Nightingale and the critically maligned Grace of Monaco. Jim Carter and Joanne Froggatt have been nominated for their roles in Downton Abbey. While Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey and Diana Rigg from Game Of Thrones all make the acting award categories. Uzo Aduba from Orange is the New Black and Cat Deeley presenter of So You Think You Can Dance announced the nominees for the 67th annual awards. Their shows were nominated and they received personal nominations for awards too. Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg will host the ceremony in Los Angeles on 20 September. Then I watched as Helena, an 18-year-old with a fear of lifts, got into a series of them as a psychologist attempted to treat her phobia. And finally, I saw a group of children take a tour of the Dulwich Picture Gallery without leaving King's College Hospital where they are long-term patients. In case you had not guessed, these were all examples of the use of virtual reality, which looks likely to be the big technology trend of 2016. Given the amount of investment by players from Facebook to Sony to HTC, it will be a big disappointment if VR does not finally become, well, a reality in many homes this year. My ascent of Everest, for example, came courtesy of the HTC Vive VR headset and a game developed by the Icelandic firm Solfar Studios. The HTC Vive, seen by many as providing the best VR experience, was due to launch late last year but its debut was delayed for some further tweaking. Now, it should join Sony's PlayStation VR and Facebook's Oculus Rift headset on the market in the next few months. The games industry is betting big on virtual reality, but there may be questions about the breadth of content available to players at first. Games like Everest provide a great immersive experience. But turning virtual reality from a "wow that's amazing" moment into a game that provides months of entertainment won't be easy. Whether many hardcore gamers will rush to invest in the technology remains to be seen. I suspect that, just as Microsoft found with its Kinect motion sensor, many gamers will see VR as no more than a gimmick. But just as Kinect's technology has found lots of uses beyond games, virtual reality may still prove a ground-breaking technology in many areas of life. Two London psychologists, Dr Ashley Conway and Dr Vanessa Ruspoli, certainly believe that is the case. They have developed a system that uses Oculus' Rift headset to treat patients with phobias. Their company Virtual Exposure Therapy aims to give patients exposure in a virtual world to the thing they fear. We filmed Helena, who's always been scared of getting into lifts, being guided into a series of smaller and smaller spaces. Dr Ruspoli kept on checking her anxiety levels as she entered each lift, and after a while the anxieties dropped. "It's not the real world but a very visceral experience," Dr Conway explained. "You get a physiological reaction. It's a really good bridge between not being able to do something and doing it in the real world." The psychologists hope to use the system to treat a range of phobias, from fear of flying to agoraphobia, where semi-realistic exposure to the feared environment might help. After her treatment, we persuaded Helena to get into a noisy old-fashioned lift. She told me VR had made a difference - she'd have opted to take the stairs just a few weeks earlier. Many businesses and public bodies may soon use VR as a way of interacting with consumers - estate agents will be able to give virtual tours of properties, kitchen designers will be able to give customers a better idea of what they are buying. Cheaper and simpler systems like Google's Cardboard VR headset, where you slot in a smartphone, may provide most people with their first virtual reality experience. Among the organisations now trying to use the Google headset as a way to deliver VR is the Dulwich Picture Gallery. It made quite a simple virtual tour of the gallery and tried it out on some young patients at nearby King's College Hospital. Their reactions were a delight. "You do get the feel of being there and seeing the paintings, it's really cool", said Lucy. "You can definitely see it's fake," added Maya, "but for a little person they probably think it's the most amazing thing in the world." But Edward pointed out: "It's not as good as the actual thing, it's not like a real museum." Virtual reality will bring new ways for all sorts of organisations and businesses to talk to us. This year we may find out whether, in Edward's words, it's as good as the actual thing. Read more about the new virtual reality systems in our CES preview, which will be published on 2 January. The train service, Y Gerallt Gymro, is funded by the Welsh government and provides a reduced journey time to the Welsh capital from Anglesey. Aimed at business users, it is the only service on the route with hot meals. The new funding deal will see Arriva Train Wales continue to operate the express until the end of the current Wales and Border franchise in 2018. Announcing the agreement, Transport Minister Edwina Hart said: "I am committed to improving journey times and transport links between north and south Wales to promote economic growth." The service calls at the major stations on the north Wales coast, including Bangor, Rhyl and onto Wrexham and Chester, before heading along the Welsh Marches, and into south Wales - knocking nearly an hour off the return journey. The 20-year-old has made one City appearance in the FA Cup and spent last season with Dutch club NAC Breda. "He is a player that I have admired for a long, long time," said Hibs boss Neil Lennon. "He is a very exciting young player. "When I was manager at Bolton I went to see him on a couple of occasions and I was really impressed." Barker, capped by England at youth level, could be included in the squad for Saturday's home game with Hamilton. "The manager said that it is a good place for me to come and carry on learning my trade and that it is a great platform for me to come and show everyone what I can do," he said. "He believes in me, so hopefully I can make everyone else believe in me." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The election - which has been postponed three times this year after months of wrangling - is the first to take place since current leader Andry Rajoelina ousted his predecessor Marc Ravalomanana four years ago. The 2009 coup led to a devastating economic crisis in Madagascar after sanctions were imposed on the country as a whole, as well as several individuals involved in the takeover, including Mr Rajoelina. As a result, the economy has been in a state of paralysis and foreign aid, which once accounted for almost half the country's budget, has been suspended. Why were the elections postponed repeatedly? After seizing power, Mr Rajoelina announced that there would be a new constitution and elections within 24 months. In May 2009 it was agreed that all former presidents would be allowed to stand in the election. However, these failed to take place in 2009 or 2010. In January this year Mr Rajoelina and Mr Ravalomanana both agreed not to stand in the polls, in line with a plan by the Southern African Development Community (SADC), a regional bloc that Madagascar belongs to. The first round of this election was set to take place in July 2013 but was pushed back to August because Mr Ravalomanana's wife and former first lady, Lalao - and then Mr Rajoelina himself - decided to run, prompting donors to suspend financing for the poll. Mr Rajoelina and Lalao Ravalomanana were then barred from standing and the electoral court also struck former President Didier Ratsiraka from the list of candidates after the three refused to withdraw. The African Union had said it would not recognize the results if any of the three were declared the winner. The electoral commission then set the elections for 25 October so that it could change the list of candidates to exclude the three. Proxy candidates are running for Mr Rajoelina and Mr Ravalomanana, who lives in exile in South Africa. However, he still commands a lot of support in the country. What state is the country in? According to World Bank statistics, more than 92% of Madagascar's population of some 21 million live on less than $2 a day. There are 47.4 deaths for every 1,000 live births and the average lifespan is 65 for men and 69 for women. Who are the main candidates? Thirty-three candidates are taking part. The front-runners are: Is there a free media? Most of Madagascar's newspapers and broadcast media are owned by politicians but only two of the presidential candidates actually own newspapers or broadcast houses themselves. According to Freedom House, media in the country is "partly free". In the final run-up to the polls, the electoral commission and state broadcaster ORTM (Office de la Radio et de la Television Malgache) have allocated 15 minutes of free paid-for airtime for each candidate every day. Who is managing the elections? The Independent National Electoral Commission of the Transition (Cenit) - an independent electoral body funded by the United Nations - is in charge of the polls. Presidential candidates must be Malagasy citizens and have lived in Madagascar for at least six months before applying to stand, a condition that Mr Ratsarika and Lalao Ravalomanana both failed to meet. No firm date has been set to announce the results but if no candidate receives more than 50% of the votes cast, a second round will be held on 20 December, along with the parliamentary elections. Cenit says there are 7,697,382 registered voters and 20,115 polling stations in Madagascar, a country the size of France with a scattered population. Some media reported that distribution of voting cards did not begin until 10 October and some registered voters in the capital, Antananarivo, had still not received them by 16 October.

A review found pupils from Wales are less likely to get into Oxbridge than those in England and Northern Ireland. The first three of 12 centres offering specialist support are set to start in south, north and south west Wales. Oxford applications in 2013 were the lowest since 1999, figures show. A total of 105 students from Wales were accepted at Oxford and Cambridge, down from 144 five years earlier. A review led by former Welsh secretary Paul Murphy found low self-esteem and a lack of academic self confidence were part of the problem. In 2013, Cambridge had 255 applications from Welsh students, just below its average in recent years. Oxford has not yet published its 2014 figures but a spokeswoman said: "Fluctuations in application and acceptance numbers from year to year are entirely normal. "In fact, for 2014 entry, Oxford made the highest number of offers to Welsh candidates in four years." Education Minister Huw Lewis said successful applicants often benefited from the help of a particular teacher with experience of the admission process. "The idea of the hubs is that they remove this element of chance and allow our most academically talented pupils to develop their skills, confidence and intellectual thinking in a supported environment," he said. Mr Murphy, a history graduate from Oriel College, said: "Studying at Oxford University was a life-changing experience for me and I want more Welsh students to have the kind of opportunities I had." A lot of the discussion around the declining numbers of pupils from Wales getting into the best universities has centred around the Welsh Baccalaureate. Paul Murphy, the Oxbridge ambassador for the Welsh government, said the baccalaureate was raised repeatedly as a concern for teachers "as it does not currently meet the requirements of academically more able and talented students" and takes up valuable space in their timetable. There will be changes to the baccalaureate from September this year; it will be more challenging, it will be graded and will more closely resemble academic courses. These changes have been widely welcomed but there are also those who say the changes should have been made much sooner. Another reason given by Mr Murphy for fewer Welsh pupils getting into the top universities was that upper-end A-level performance declined between 2008 and 2012. Put simply - if the pupils are not getting the grades, there is no way they will get in. That situation has started to improve - last year's A-level results at A and A* were better than 2013, though still not at the same level as 2008. So, while there is still disappointment at the current low numbers of pupils from Wales getting into Oxford and Cambridge, it seems the circumstances could be changing so the picture may well improve in future. The Women in Love author directed the insult at Pangbourne while inquiring about cottages to let in August 1919. He wrote: "Pangbourne is repulsive - it sort of smells - women use scent on their clothes, and petrol plus river plus pavement... I suffer by the nose". The note was sold by auctioneers Lyon and Turnbull in Edinburgh on Wednesday. It was addressed to his friend Bertie Herbert Farjeon at a time when Lawrence was leading an itinerant lifestyle after being forced out of his Cornwall home following accusations of spying. After asking Bertie whether the cottage he wanted was vacant, the writer declared that he was "so sick of mankind".

Five years have passed since the Scottish Football Association drew up its performance strategy. Last season, no club that finished in the top half of the English Premier League contained a Scottish international. In the Scottish Premiership, five clubs finished the campaign with less than half of the players who appeared for them being Scottish. Only St Johnstone reached the informal target of 75% of their players being Scottish, while, of the 25 who played for Inverness Caledonian Thistle last season, only five were Scottish. So in what state is youth development in Scotland and is the Club Academy Scotland structure devised by Mark Wotte after he was appointed performance director in 2011 working? BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound brought together Willie Miller, former Aberdeen director of football, Alistair Gray, who the SFA consulted on the performance strategy and who now chairs a committee of club representatives reviewing Club Academy Scotland, Scotland Under-17 coach, Scot Gemmill, and Tommy Wilson, the former Rangers youth coach and now academy director of Major League Soccer club Philadelphia Union, to discuss the issue. Willie Miller: "We're not seeing any signs of [progress] and we're five years into it. I've been part of it, I set up the performance school in Aberdeen, I understand the financial restrictions that clubs work under in trying to fund their development programme. We thought Mark Wotte was going to be a long-term project, but he left after three years, which was really disappointing." Alistair Gray: "The performance schools have only been performing for three years, so the players will be coming towards under-16 now. When we looked in 2011, 60% of all those capped at under-17/under-19 level for Scotland within five years were not playing or were playing junior football. That number has reduced, so one would hope that we're not throwing out as much talent as we used to throw out. There are now 31 academies, when there are 50-odd in Germany. The key thing is to reduce the number of academies - there are 2,500 players in the Club Academy Scotland system - and that number has to reduce and more has to be done with the [best] players. The facilities are much better now. There's no magic in this, it's about the systematic development of young people and giving them game time in a competitive situation. "There's no question in the top academies, the practices are extremely good. The style of play is better amongst the young teams, they're building up from the back, pass completion is better. But, between 17 and 21, youngsters are not getting the quality of competitive games despite the positive changes that have been made. Playing a competitive game is the only way you improve. "The Scottish FA have enabled development loans to take place in the last couple of years that are now making a difference. Clubs are trusting each other, there are more players going out on loan. The tragic thing is that the players who are retained by their clubs get fewer games than the players who play for another club. "The last three of four years have been the worst economic positions for Scottish club. The working group I'm chairing now is made up of clubs and they're committing very much more to some of the performance areas that were identified back in 2011. They really didn't have the appetite or the resources to do so over the last few years." Scot Gemmill: "I really believe the players have got good potential and their results are suggesting that. That's across the age groups. If you look at this year's under-19 squad, [Ryan] Hardie was playing first-team football, [Greg] Kiltie's playing first-team football, [Aidan] Nesbitt, Kyle Cameron was on loan at York City, Jack Breslin was on loan. I believe that [they will play in the top half of EPL], why not? These players beat Mexico 3-1. They have a different mentality, a different attitude, they have more game intelligence; the work that's going on at the clubs is working." Willie Miller: "Targets are really important, if you can get clubs to buy in. I don't think it's the manager, the club employs the manager, so if you're a board of directors and you have a policy of one [academy graduate into the first-team squad] a season into your squad then you tell the manager that. "They've got loads at Aberdeen. You're approaching 50% that have come through the academy, not on the park but into the squad. The bench is full of youngsters. Now maybe the manager wants a more experienced bench and I can understand his thinking behind that. You've also got problems with other teams poaching your players as well, at 16. [Jack] Grimmer, [Fraser] Fyvie, Ryan Fraser - there's three players that could have been in the first-team." Alistair Gray: "It's the short-term aim of the manager to get a quick fix to save their job over the course of the season. The good clubs that are doing [youth development] have a much more integrated system. The first-team manager is at one with the academy director, working together to produce more, better young players. "The other thing the Scottish FA has done in recent years is focus the resources in terms of the amount of money they're giving clubs. They've got some performance outcomes that include the number of 18-21 year old players in the first-team and also the players who have come through to international squads and it's not an insignificant amount. The key is not to spread this money, £2.5m, across 31 academies and 2,500 young people and focus it much more." Tommy Wilson: "Our overall budget [at Philadelphia Union] is more than I had at Rangers. We have more full-time coaches in our academy. We have our own school, we have 14 full-time staff, so we can double the training units that I was used to in Glasgow. Our young players train 10 times a week. Because it's part of a school, it's a much more holistic approach and we have full-time sports psychologists and nutritionists. If you can imagine a high-performance sports school attached to a football club academy, that's the route we're going down. I have some targets to try to get some players into the first-team, but there's not a directive. There's an open dialogue between myself, the manager and the sporting director." Alistair Gray: "There are 50 full-time coaches in the current Club Academy Scotland system; it could be more. There are 200 part-time coaches, but there's no sense of community amongst these coaches. In Germany, post-2000, after they messed up in the European Championships, one of the biggest things they did was double the number of full-time coaches, so there was a career for the coaches. [In Scotland] someone who is a plumber during the day, and they [coach] during the evening or at the weekends, they can't take the time off to do formal coaching qualifications. Something has to be done in the area of coaching so that profession is valued. Are we identifying the future Scot Gemmills? I know of one Premiership club that is putting one of their youth coaches out to manage a League Two club next year. That's a very positive sign, a bit like a loan. "The [SFA] coaching courses are well regarded and endorsed by Uefa, but once someone has their badge, where do they go? A large number of them aren't coaching at a level where they're able to deliver the benefit of the coaching they've had." Willie Miller: "The SFA charge for coaching courses. Why not drop that if you're attached to a club? Scottish football can't afford to employ coaches at development level. Celtic can and Rangers could. Inverness Caley Thistle can't afford a development programme let alone employ someone to manage that programme. With Aberdeen, I had two centres, one in Edinburgh and one in Dundee, that I had to close because we couldn't afford it and we had only one full-time coach. I don't think we can compare ourselves with Germany, with a population of 80m people and funds coming out their ears. We should be looking at Iceland." Scot Gemmill: "Everybody's keen to learn from [Iceland], but our under-17s beat Iceland three or four months ago. Liam Burt scored the winning goal and he made his debut for Rangers recently. There are good players coming through." Tommy Wilson: "We have produced a number of top coaches and managers [through the SFA's coaching courses] and not produced top players. The only pathway for that top coach is to become the first-team manager to make a salary that is sufficient to support his family. We haven't professionalised youth coaching enough. We've not invested enough in our young players." Alistair Gray: "There are some good things going on and we're learning from the first four years of the programme and making a small number of changes that will make a significant impact. It will be a pragmatic but impactful series of recommendations that come out in the next few months." Brandywell Stadium, the club's home since 1928, is undergoing a multi-million pound facelift - which is set to be finished in time for next season. The Candystripes take on Limerick City at Buncrana's Maginn Park, with the border-busting League of Ireland clash expected to be a sell-out. But how will Derry City and their supporters go down in the seaside town? Nestled on the edge of Lough Swilly, just 15 miles from Londonderry, Buncrana is the seaside destination of choice for Derry sun seekers in the summer months. The invasion of Candystripes fans in March will be a new experience for locals, many of whom hope to reap financial reward. "I can't see it being anything but good for the town," said Pauric O'Flaherty who runs O'Flaherty's bar on the Main Street. "We're looking forward to it, hopefully now this brings a bit of trade into the town and everyone gets a deal, restaurants and taxi men." "If you're not going to get a boost on a Friday night with Derry City coming down you may close your front doors because you should welcome everybody with open arms. "Buncrana's a great town with great bars, great restaurants, so come down early and take the dog for a walk and then go town to Maginn to watch the games," added Mr O'Flaherty. It may have seen a rise in the number of young people playing Gaelic Games in recent years, but Buncrana remains a football-mad town. Oisin O'Flaherty plays for Buncrana Hearts, and reckons the matches will be a sell-out. "Inishowen is a soccer area, I play a bit of Gaelic, but soccer is the number one sport down here and I actually think it will be hard to get a ticket down there," he said. "Friday night is a good night for it because the Inishowen league is on a Sunday. I think it's going to be brilliant, I really do." Cockhill Celtic's Gerard McLaughlin believes the excitement is palpable now the match is imminent. "There's a lot of talk about it now," he said. "The sheer fact it's League of Ireland football and is something new means people will come out. "It will be big for Buncrana, I would say most clubs in Inishowen, players, supporters, officials... they'll all come to Maginn to watch Derry City." Speaking of Maginn Park, one reason to be cheerful for the Derry City faithful will be the excellent condition of the football pitch. Derry City midfielder Mark Timlin will know that all too well, being a native of the town. But a temporary ground can negatively affect a team's performance - just ask Harry Kane's Tottenham Hotspur - so Derry will be hoping for a rub of the green. It's lucky then, that the local groundsmen have been working hard for the big day. "The biggest match we've had so far was a league cup match between Sligo Rovers and the local Cockhill Celtic and the crowd was quite good," said Elsmer Lee. "But we're hoping for a lot more at the moment. Derry have put seats in the stand, around 200, 250 and they're going to stay. "So we're looking forward to it. Maginn Park's ready," he added. It also helps if one of your colleagues learned his trade at the Nou Camp in Barcelona. In football no-one never knows the outcome, but Derry City fans will be hoping the hills of Donegal turn Candystriped on Friday night. 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. The 25-year-old, who first joined the Rams in February 2011, still had a year to run on his current deal. He's a niggly little so-and-so, one of those players you don't like playing against "He gives us options. He can play wide, he can play up front, so it's nice to get him tied down for that length of time," manager Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby. "I think it was fitting to reward Jamie, he's earned this." Ward becomes the third player in a week to sign a new contract at Pride Park, after defenders Jake Buxton and Gareth Roberts. extended their stays with the Championship side. The 25-year-old has scored four goals this season, including a memorable winner against Nottingham Forest in September. "We've been discussing it with him for a month or two," Clough added. "We weren't desperate to get something done because he still had plenty of time on his contract, but it's good to get it done. "He's a niggly little so-and-so, one of those players you don't like playing against. We need that feistiness." Sawl un o'r rhain fedrwch chi ddyfalu? 1. Pont i ddechrau, ond pa un?

A 1975 comedy, The Irony of Fate, is reckoned to be his most popular film - still televised on New Year's Eve in former Soviet countries. Among his other hit films were Office Romance and Garage. Soviet censors banned one film, The Man from Nowhere. Despite the ban the Communist authorities named him a People's Artist of the USSR in 1984. An asteroid, 4258 Ryazanov, was also named after him. His fame began with a musical comedy in 1956, Carnival Night, in the style of American musicals. More than 45 million people went to see it. The Irony of Fate - a classic of Soviet cinema - tells the tale of a man who gets drunk with friends on New Year's Eve and ends up flying to Leningrad (today's St Petersburg), though he was supposed to be spending the evening in Moscow with his fiancee. The comedy of errors becomes more entangled when he enters a flat identical to his Moscow home in a street of the same name and the young woman tenant returns later to find him there sleeping off a hangover. The comedy is enriched by satire on the uniform drabness of Soviet apartment blocks in the Brezhnev era. Ryazanov played a cameo role in that film and some of his others. He was born in Samara, a city on the Volga river, and studied at Moscow's Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK). As a student he became acquainted with leading Soviet film directors Grigory Kozintsev and Sergei Eisenstein, who helped to develop his craft skills. The lighter side of communism - BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow: "Every year, on 31st December, my friends and I go to the bath house." Over the years I've heard so many Russians quote this line from the Ryazanov classic The Irony of Fate. Like so many other script lines from Ryazanov's films, it has become part of the fabric of the Russian language. The Irony of Fate is one of my favourites. On New Year's Eve a Moscow man gets blind drunk in a bath house and, by mistake, ends up on a plane to Leningrad. Once there he staggers to what he thinks is his Moscow flat - the street name is the same (Third Builders' Street), the apartment block looks identical and the key fits - a comment on how communism was erasing individualism and making everything boringly similar. You might think that life behind the Iron Curtain was cold and grey and humourless. But for the hundreds of millions of people who lived there, there was laughter too - and much of that was thanks to Eldar Ryazanov. His films poked fun - ever so gently, ever so cheekily - at everyday life and everyday problems under socialism. The initial plan is for a new line from London to Birmingham, with later extensions to Manchester and Leeds. The Stop HS2 campaign group had called on Mr Grayling to urgently review the project on cost grounds, and the effect on towns and cities near the route. But Mr Grayling told BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend: "I have no plans to back away from the HS2 project." After Mr Grayling's remarks, Stop HS2 campaign manager Joe Rukin told the BBC the transport secretary's comments were "hardly a ringing endorsement" of the project. The new transport secretary also said he wanted to reach a quick decision on where a new runway should be built to meet growing demand for air travel to and from London. On rail, Mr Grayling told the BBC: "The thing that's important for people to understand is that HS2 is not simply a speed project, it's a capacity project. "We have lines at the moment which have seen huge increases in the number of passengers, the amount of freight in recent years." He said the West Coast main line was becoming "really congested" and was limiting the capacity of services to places such as Northampton and Milton Keynes. Mr Grayling added: "Of course it makes sense if we're going to build a new railway line for it to be a fast railway line, to increase travel times or reduce travel times from north to south - that's logical. "But actually we need a better transport system for the 21st century and HS2 is part of increasing the capacity of our transport system." On flight capacity for the South East, the Airports Commission published a report last year that said a new runway was needed by 2030, and recommending that Heathrow's plan for a third runway should go ahead. An alternative option would be to build a second runway at Gatwick - an idea supported by London's mayor, Sadiq Khan. Another suggestion has been doubling an existing runway at Heathrow. Mr Grayling said: "I am very clear that I want to move rapidly with a decision on what happens on airport capacity. It is a decision that will be taken collectively by the government. "We have a quasi-judicial role so I'm not going to say today whether I prefer Gatwick or Heathrow, there's two options at Heathrow. I'm going to look at this very carefully in the coming weeks." MPs are due to vote on the first phase of the HS2 project later this year. Their approval of the bill should allow construction to start on the London to Birmingham section. The company building the line, HS2 Ltd, is also set to hand out £11bn worth of contracts in the coming months. Last week Stop HS2 called on the government of new Prime Minister Theresa May to undertake a fresh review of the rail project, saying a failure to do so would be "irresponsible". Mr Rukin, the pressure group's campaign manager, said the project had failed a recent Department for Transport review, on the issues of both costs and the scheduling of work. That was one reason why HS2 should not be allowed to commence with its tendering processes, he argued. Charity Commission figures show that less than 15% of the £18.9m raised has been given to people who lost their homes and loved ones. The commission said there were initial difficulties contacting those affected, and others had yet to come forward. The commission regulates charities and charitable funds in England and Wales. Millions of pounds worth of donations were pledged by concerned members of the public in the days following the Grenfell fire in the early hours of 14 June, which claimed at least 80 lives. The funds were intended to help people who had lost family members in the blaze as well as Grenfell residents who survived but had lost their home and possessions. With so much money given, and several charitable groups working to provide immediate support for those caught up in the aftermath, the commission stepped in to advise how best to distribute funds to those affected. The latest Charity Commission figures, eight weeks on from the fire, show only £2.8m has been handed out. The body said charities now want to work with survivors to discuss how the remaining funds should be spent long-term. But in the Grenfell community there is growing anger and frustration, as many believe some charities are not being completely transparent. Yvette Williams, of the Justice 4 Grenfell group, said: "It's definitely not been fast enough. "The survivors are raising it more and more: where's the money, who's distributing it, why aren't they distributing it, how have they been chosen to distribute it, what's the criteria for distribution, and how are you communicating with the people who should be receiving that money? "Information isn't transparent. They have to beg for information and it's still not clear the background of it, or how they're going forward with it." The Red Cross and the Kensington and Chelsea Foundation each raised £5.75m, and the Evening Standard newspaper fund collected more than £6.7m. The London Emergencies Trust, which was overseeing the channelling of those funds, announced in July that it was processing three types of interim payment. They were: A "fresh start" grant of £10,000 per family when they are permanently rehoused is also being distributed by the Rugby Portobello Trust. Charity Commission chief operating officer David Holdsworth said: "We have been working to help charities co-ordinate their response so that those affected know where to go to get access to the funds that have been raised for them. "As the regulator, we also ensure that funds are protected for those they are intended for." The photos show Harry helping with the fight against poaching during his three months in Africa over the summer. Their publication coincides with his visit to South Africa Wildlife College near Kruger National Park on the fifth day of his royal tour. He said the slaughter of the animals was a "pointless waste of beauty". During his summer visit, Harry worked with rangers - who respond to poaching attacks on elephants and rhinos - as well as veterinarians. One of the pictures, all of which were taken on a smartphone, shows him with a sedated rhino that was about to be de-horned in order to protect it. The prince was also photographed assisting in the facial reconstruction of a rhino that had been attacked for its horn and left for dead. Another shows the prince in South Africa's Kruger National Park lying on the stomach of a sedated elephant, which was about to be freed. In written commentary accompanying the elephant photograph, Harry said: "I know how lucky I am to have these experiences, but hearing stories from people on the ground about how bad the situation really is upset and frustrated me. "How can it be that 30,000 elephants were slaughtered last year alone?" The claim: Labour was ahead in the polls before the leadership process started. Reality Check verdict: Labour has been ahead in only three of the 75 polls conducted between Mr Corbyn becoming leader and the end of June. "Over the past year we have won the by-elections we contested, three with a big swing to Labour, we got ahead of the Tories in the local government election, we won four mayoral contests and were indeed ahead of [sic] the polls until such time as a number of people decided to have a leadership contest instead," Mr Corbyn said. Let's take a look at those claims in turn. There have been four by-elections since the last general election, all of them in seats that were previously held by Labour. The swings to Labour were 7%, 6%, -1% and 9%. In the first four by-elections of the last parliament, three of the swings to Labour were in double figures, so the swings are smaller than they were five years ago, but not a huge amount smaller. Labour remained ahead of the Conservatives in the local government elections in England in 2016 with 1,326 council seats compared with the Tories' 842 seats. There was some criticism of Labour's performance because they ended up with 18 fewer seats than they had the last time these councils were contested in 2012, although the party had been expected to lose many more seats. It was nonetheless the first time outside a general election year since 1985 that the main opposition party had lost seats in the annual council elections. So, while Mr Corbyn's assertion is accurate it does not tell the full story. Labour has indeed won the four mayoral contests in the past year: in London, Bristol, Salford and Liverpool. The London mayor was a gain from the Tories, in Bristol Labour's candidate defeated an independent incumbent, while Salford and Liverpool were both Labour holds. Finally, Mr Corbyn said that Labour had been ahead in the polls until "people decided to have a leadership election". It would be reasonable to take that point as the day of the EU referendum, because it was after that that the moves began for the vote of no confidence and the leadership challenges. Between 12 September when Mr Corbyn became leader and the end of June there have been 75 voting intention polls carried out. Of those, Labour has been ahead in three, all conducted in March and April by YouGov. But looking at an average of the polls, the Conservatives have been ahead since the 2015 general election.

Leah's got more on the story... NHS East of England commissioned the investigation into the care of Ikechukwu Tennyson Obih, who stabbed Bedfordshire Pc Jon Henry in 2007. Obih was convicted of murder and jailed for life at Luton Crown Court. The report said the closure of an early intervention service that Obih had used was the starting point of the case. Pc Henry, 36, was stabbed twice in the chest as he tried to arrest Obih in Luton on 11 June 2007. He was one of four officers called to George Street, Luton, after window cleaner Stephen Chamberlain was stabbed. Obih was under the care of the former Bedfordshire and Luton Mental Health and Social Care Partnership NHS Trust. In the report by Verita, which was commissioned by NHS East of England, author Lucy Scott-Moncrieff said there were a series of "management and clinical failings" starting from the decision to close the early intervention service to save money. She said: "The cumulative effect of these failings was that at the time of the incident Mr Obih's illness was untreated and his well-being was effectively unmonitored. "We find therefore that the incident might not have occurred if he had been suitably treated and might therefore have been prevented." Ms Scott-Moncrieff said Obih, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia in June 2004, had no history of violence. Between February and July 2006 he was an in-patient at a recovery unit in Luton, then moved into his own accommodation under the care of the Luton Early Intervention Team. In September 2006 the early intervention service was closed. Obih was then transferred to Luton South East Community Mental Health Team where he received "considerably less" support and was seen 16 times in four months, compared to 36 times in two months with the early intervention team, the report found. After this, he stopped attending a day care service, and in December 2006 it was found he had stopped taking his antiphsychotic medication. Ms Scott-Moncrieff said the investigation found senior trust managers failed to ensure the agreed transfer process between the early intervention service and other services was followed. The community mental health team could not offer Obih the level of care he was receiving previously and "could and should have done more for him", she said. She added: "In the current economic climate, it is likely that other trusts may find themselves in a similar position." Claire Lawton, associate medical director of NHS England, said: "We wish to ensure that the learning from this case can be shared as widely as possible to do everything in our power to prevent such a thing happening in the future. "The independent report provides recommendations for specific actions to build on the improvements already made in mental health services in Luton. Action plans have been put in place by the trust and PCT and significant progress has already been made." Marjorie Wallace, chief executive of the mental health charity Sane, said lessons had not been learned from previous cases. "There seems to be no excuse for the failure of community care teams, who ignored every red alert warning that Tennyson Obih's mental state had deteriorated to a point where he posed a serious risk. "Too often we are hearing about what can only be called 'wing and a prayer' psychiatric care, where the complex and sometimes confused arrangements between community teams fail to protect both the patient and the public. "It is clear that lessons have not been learned from the hundreds of similar findings from independent inquiries that have been conducted into cases such as these." In a statement Susan Doherty, Pc Henry's sister, said: "If there had not been cost cutting measures and neglect of the treatment provided to Mr Obih then perhaps we would not be here today with old wounds being opened. "We would just like this to be the final closure of the whole traumatic and devastating episode and for his parents and siblings and Jonathan's widow and daughter. "The loss never gets less but we are able to deal with the grief on a daily basis better over the course of time." There are no guarantees of success and it is thought a deal remains highly unlikely before the Chinese transfer window closes on 28 February. But the fact Stretford has travelled to China is a clear indication United boss Jose Mourinho would let Rooney, 31, go. And if he does not leave this month it seems certain he will go in the summer. Rooney has fallen down the pecking order at United under Mourinho. The England captain has been made aware of interest in him from the Chinese Super League for some time, although it is not known which clubs Stretford has spoken to. Beijing Guoan, believed to be the favourite team of Chinese President Xi, had been seen as one of the favourites to sign Rooney but sources close to the club have told BBC Sport they are not interested in signing him. Because of new restrictions on overseas players, Jiangsu Suning and Tianjin Quanjian look like the most likely remaining options. However, the England captain's representatives have already spoken to Tianjin Quanjian and their coach, Fabio Cannavaro, said talks did not progress. On Tuesday, Mourinho said he did not know whether Rooney, who has only just returned to training after a hamstring injury, would still be at Old Trafford in a week's time. It is not known whether this latest development will affect Rooney's chances of being involved in Sunday's EFL Cup final against Southampton. They had appeared to have increased after Henrikh Mkhitaryan limped out of Wednesday's 1-0 Europa League win against Saint-Etienne. If Rooney follows former team-mate Carlos Tevez to the Chinese Super League, it would almost certainly cost him any chance of making the seven appearances he needs to become England's most capped player. Rooney's preference is understood to be to remain with United for the rest of his contract, which expires in 2019, but a lack of time on the pitch is forcing him to consider alternatives. Rooney is United's record goalscorer and has won five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy since joining them as an 18-year-old for £27m from Everton in 2004. The forward, who has started only three games since 17 December, has said he would not play for an English club other than United or Everton. Hong Kong-based player representative Christopher Atkins The big difference between Chinese Super League clubs' transfer process and their Premier League counterparts is the preparation. English top-flight clubs have extensive scouting departments with links around the world. They identify players months in advance, watch many live games and base their decision on an extensive process. In CSL, the process is more agent-led. Most of the clubs are approached with recommendations for a position they are recruiting in, rather than seeking out players themselves. Foreign players coming in on large fees are commanding three-, four-, five-year deals, even at the end of their career. They have the upper hand in negotiations and wouldn't leave European football without long-term financial guarantees. However, the Chinese government is concerned about capital leaving the country and it is difficult for these big transactions to exist while they are trying to crack down in other areas. I think we will see a levelling out in fees. The £15m-£20m transfers will continue to happen for the next few years, but maybe we won't see the likes of the £60m deal that brought Oscar to China. Christopher Atkins was speaking to Mike Henson The scheme has been published by a group led by Eileen Evason, a professor in social administration. It comes in more than £80m under the £585m budget assigned to it as part of November's Fresh Start deal. The scheme proposes a series of supplementary payments to carers, people suffering ill health and families on low incomes. It also proposes that resources originally allocated to help those losing out due to tax credit cuts be used to help those affected by the introduction of universal credit. The Evason group is also funding a system of independent advice to help claimants deal with the changes. Prof Evason believes the regime of harsh sanctions already introduced elsewhere in the UK has led to deaths and suicides. She hopes a monitoring and protection system here will avoid some of the worst consequences of welfare reform. Although the overall mitigation scheme is due to last for four years, each individual claimant will get help for just one year after being deemed eligible. Claimants who lose more than £10 a week as a result of the phasing out of Disability Living Allowance will get payments equal to 75% of their loss. The report includes a proposal that claimants who have a conflict-related injury and are deemed ineligible for the new Personal Independence Payments should get extra points to help them qualify for help. As expected, the mitigation scheme covers Stormont's decision not to introduce the spare room subsidy, also known as the bedroom tax. The report also includes recommendations that Stormont should pilot strategies to tackle food poverty, potentially through a network of community food shops, social stores and supermarkets. Prof Evason says she had a positive meeting on Monday with the first and deputy first ministers and she is confident they will adopt her working group's proposals. She has suggested to the ministers that they should divert the £84m her group has not allocated to health and projects for vulnerable people.

In celebration of a year of outstanding performances, here is BBC Wales Sport's re-creation of Biggar's 'dance'. The event is part of an art exhibition at the 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, which began on Saturday 18 February. To find and keep the pieces, worth at least £1,000 each, people must study five paintings and solve the code within them. One of the items was found by accident so a reward is being offered to anyone who can solve the clue linked to it. Artist Luke Jerram said he would donate £500 to a charity of the finder's choice if they could solve the mystery of the "red picture". The fourth item, the golden train, was found by a family from Grimsby in Scunthorpe's Central Park on Friday night. Mr Jerram said he had not anticipated so many items would be discovered in the first week. "I was expecting two or three, something like that. What I did not expect was the response of the public would be so astonishingly positive. "I did not expect the public would go round looking in every nook and cranny of the town to try and find the artefacts." The Visual Arts Centre said the public response had been extraordinary. "It has created a real buzz around the place and brought in thousands of people," said the centre's visual arts officer Michelle Lally. The final item to be found is the gold copy of a Jurassic ammonite, an ancient marine mollusc fossil. The five objects are replicas of pieces at North Lincolnshire Museum and were made from gold worth £1,000, but could be worth much more. The northern state is India's most populous, with more than 200 million people. If it were a separate country, it would be the fifth-largest by population in the world after China, India, the United States and Indonesia. Commonly called UP, the state sends the largest number of MPs - 80 - to India's parliament. It is often said that the party that wins the state rules the country. Several prime ministers, including India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru, have come from here. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is from the western state of Gujarat, also chose to make his parliamentary debut from the state in the 2014 general election when he contested from Varanasi. And voters in the state can easily claim the credit for his Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) stunning sweep of the elections. Of the 282 seats they won, 71 were from Uttar Pradesh. It's a three-way contest between the governing BJP, the regional Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the state's ruling Samajwadi Party (SP), which is contesting the polls in alliance with the Congress. Since the late 1990s, the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party have dominated state politics, with the Congress and the BJP pushed to the sidelines. The family drama gripping Indian politics Why the bicycle could decide an election But this time, buoyed by its success in the general election, the BJP is making a serious bid for victory. The party is yet to declare a chief ministerial candidate and is banking on the popularity and charisma of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to win the polls. Mr Modi has been criss-crossing the state, addressing election rallies and exhorting voters to give the BJP a chance. The Samajwadi Party is led by 43-year-old Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. He led his party to victory in the 2012 state assembly polls and is hoping for an encore when the votes are counted on 11 March. His journey, however, has been far from smooth, especially in the past few weeks when he fought a very public battle with Mulayam Singh Yadav, his father and chief of the party. As father and son fought for power in a manner likened to political drama House of Cards, the party seemed on the verge of disintegrating. But Yadav junior won the duel, and has since forged an alliance with India's main opposition Congress party. The partners have been holding joint election rallies, promising good governance, state development and free smartphones for young people. Pitted against the BJP and the SP-Congress alliance is the Bahujan Samaj Party, led by Dalit (formerly Untouchables) icon Ms Mayawati. The four-time state chief minister, who lost power in 2012, is seeking a comeback. She is hugely popular among her community, but during her earlier stints she was criticised for spending millions of dollars to build statues of herself and other Dalit icons. This time though, she has promised to not spend money on statues and says she will work to lift millions of people out of poverty. Because of its sheer size and numbers, UP is a key battleground. And for the parties in the fray, these elections are being seen as a do-or-die battle. The BJP hasn't done too well in state polls since winning the 2014 general elections, so a victory here is important. Also, the polls are being seen as a referendum on Mr Modi's recent move to ban 500 and 1,000 rupee notes. The timing of the move has been questioned by many and if the party loses, a blame game is likely to begin. A victory for Akhilesh Yadav is crucial as it will cement his position as the leader of his party. If he loses, the rebel faction led by his uncle Shivpal Yadav will get a boost. A win will also bring cheer to the Congress, which has had little joy with voters in the general election or in regional polls for the last few years. And a win is absolutely essential for Ms Mayawati, who has spent the past five years in the political wilderness. Analysts say if she loses this time too, she risks becoming politically irrelevant and may find it very difficult to bounce back. With 403 seats up for grabs, thousands of contestants are in the fray, fighting for a share of the pie. More than 138 million voters will be casting their votes at 147,148 polling centres, watched over by thousands of police and paramilitary troops, during the seven phases of voting spread over a month. Despite its political significance, UP remains among India's most backward states with millions living in extreme poverty, a lack of employment opportunities and rampant corruption. For some voters the only tool they have to express themselves with is their vote. And during elections they come out in large numbers to use it - often against those in power. Esa's Rosetta satellite will despatch its piggybacked Philae probe to the surface of the "ice mountain" known as 67P on Wednesday. Controllers report both mothership and descent robot to be in excellent shape. The landing commands on Philae have already been loaded, and an instruction was sent up on Monday evening to switch on and warm the probe. The intention now is to leave it in an active state, ready for the separation. This is timed to occur at 08:35 GMT on Wednesday. Touchdown should follow about seven hours later, with a confirmation signal expected back on Earth around 16:00 GMT. But before the mission can get to this milestone, Rosetta must be primed to make its delivery run. Rosetta mission: Can you land on a comet? The satellite is currently moving on a long, slow arc around 67P at a height of about 30km. At a predetermined time on Wednesday morning, it has to turn and head in towards the comet, releasing Philae on the path that will take it down to the targeted landing zone. Executing this pre-delivery manoeuvre with high precision is the one really big issue vexing controllers. They know their calculations for the thruster burn must be spot on. They know also that they will have very little time to assess its performance before giving the final "go" for separation. "The point of separation is fixed in time, in space, velocity and attitude; and we have to reach exactly that point," explained Esa flight director Andrea Accomazzo. "So, wherever Rosetta is, we have to design a manoeuvre to reach that point." Esa's detailed landing timeline Navigation specialists here at Esa's operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany, will examine the present flight path of Rosetta on Tuesday afternoon. They will then have the detailed information they require to implement this critical delivery dash. But if any of the parameters are out by even a small degree, the errors will expand as Philae heads downwards. Already, the landing zone, which is on the head of the rubber-duck-shaped comet, is considered extremely challenging. It contains some very uneven terrain, with cliffs, boulders and a number of steep slopes. Controllers will not want to make the probe's task even more difficult by sending it off-track. Philae should touch the surface with a velocity of about 1 metre per second. Foot screws and harpoons will hopefully lock it down. A small gas thruster will push the probe into the surface to give these mechanisms time to work. "It will take a few minutes to really analyse and fully understand that, yes, we are landed; yes, the harpoons are fired and safely anchored," Stephan Ulamec from the German space agency told BBC News. Whatever happens on Wednesday, the scope of the Rosetta mission will go through a major gear change, according to Esa project scientist Matt Taylor. Since the satellite arrived at the comet in August, much of its focus has been on finding a suitable landing location for Philae. With the landing now all set to occur, the emphasis can shift more towards the scientific study of the Comet 67P. "Up until now, we have been doing science on the side, doing characterisation of the comet to enable landing site decisions. "From this week onwards is when we start the main phase of this mission, in my view. It's all go now - so, stay tuned," Dr Taylor said. Even if Philae fails in its landing attempt, the Rosetta mothership will continue its remote observations of 67P through all of next year.

The FA has now written to its counterparts in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales to ask them if they want to take part in Rio de Janeiro. "I am absolutely gutted with the English FA," Hughes said. "If they want to work with us they have to be more open with us and they don't seem to be keeping to agreements. I'm livid about it." The FAW, along with the Scottish FA and Irish FA, refused to give their official backing to Team GB in 2012. They feared a Great Britain squad could set a precedent that affected their individual memberships of Fifa and the International Football Association Board. Despite the FAW's opposition five Welsh players - Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Neil Taylor - were named in the men's squad, with Gareth Bale ruled out of the competition through injury having been expected to take part. Although Hughes is unhappy, he does not think the Welsh FA can block the FA's move. "As far as the Olympics is concerned, it was not long ago that they said London 2012 was just a one-off," he added. "Now it appears they have decided on their own to enter a team without discussing it with us. "I don't think we will be able to block it, but why has Seb Coe and the British Olympic Association gone to England? The BOA should be more open and transparent. Media playback is not supported on this device "It's supposed to be the British Olympic Association, not the English Olympic Association." The GB men's side, coached by Stuart Pearce, lost on penalties to South Korea in the quarter-finals in 2012. The women's team also lost at the quarter-final stage, to Canada, but a crowd of 70,584 - a record for a women's game in Britain - saw GB beat group rivals Brazil 1-0 at Wembley. Hughes is competing against English FA nominee David Gill, the ex-Manchester United chief executive, for the Fifa vice-presidency reserved for the four British associations. He has accused the FA of reneging on a written agreement that would see Wales take over the British Fifa vice-presidency in May. The FA claims the agreement no longer applies because under Fifa reforms the position is elected by Uefa rather than just the four home nations. But Hughes said: "England seem to want to run everything and take over the whole game. "But we will not let that happen - the dragon on Wales has still got flame coming out of his mouth. We are not going to be bullied." "I jumped on top of my partner and covered us with our suitcase" James Firkin was waiting to check in at the airport when the attacks took place. "We're in shock. Miraculously I don't know how we're not physically hurt. I went to get a tea for my partner and it was at that moment that the first explosion happened... "The ceiling was falling in, there was debris falling all around us. General panic would be the best way to describe it. "I jumped on top of my partner and covered us with our suitcase to protect us from the falling ceiling. "We were afraid there would be shooting, but that didn't happen at all... I didn't here any shots... I personally didn't hear any shouting in Arabic where we were, near the check in row 8. "There was no doubt in our minds that it was a bomb. The main thing that stuck in my head was the smoke. It smelt like fireworks... it definitely seemed like a bomb straight away." "The ceiling collapsed behind us" Horst Pilger was at a Starbucks in the airport after checking in with his wife and two children for their flight to Rome. "Around 8am we heard a bang - my wife and I looked at each other thinking 'What was that?' Then there was another blast which was much louder. "I saw a fireball coming from the car park outside. Then the ceiling collapsed behind us, which was about 30 metres away. There was dust everywhere and it was difficult to breathe. "People were screaming and panicking. "We decided to go across the street to the Sheraton Hotel. I saw injured people being treated." "I saw a soldier pulling away a body. I hope he was not dead" Tom, who is doing an internship at the airport, started his day at 08:00 local time: "We were going to our desks, to the gate, and we looked to our left side and it looked like 15 metres from us was a big explosion. First we thought it was a billboard falling down or something. My colleague was looking and was wondering what is it, and I said 'Run, run'. We ran away; we were running very quickly... "My colleague jumped into the carousel behind the check-in desk. I lost him because I did not know where he was. "Then it was like a big explosion, a second one... "I thought I was hurt or I was hit. Then there were two people who were working at the airport. They told me to come inside and locked the door. "And behind the little gap I saw a solider pulling away a body. I hope he was not dead and just hit... I am feeling overwhelmed." 'Everyone was screaming and running... I'm still shaking' Nils Liedtke, who was in the airport when the explosions took place, described the scene to BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "It was basically like a big bang - it felt like your neighbours upstairs are throwing something big on the floor. "And everything was shaking, some smoke. "It took me a second or two to realise what was going on. Everybody was screaming and running out into the taxi area, so that's what I did as well... I'm still shaking." Many dead in terror attacks The latest updates What we know so far Crisis information In pictures: Brussels explosions "We saw lots of injured people" Odeta Islam, from Antwerp, was in Brussels Airport this morning, dropping her mother off. "We were sitting and having breakfast and we heard a huge blast on our right. Everyone started running. Then we heard a second blast from our left. "There was mess everywhere and the smell of burning and smoke. There was a lot of dust and we had problems breathing so we headed to the exit. "We saw lots of injured people. "I saw a mum and her children injured and I offered to help her but she told me to go and get out as she was being looked after. I am a certified first aider and as soon as we got out my brother and I offered to help but by then there were ambulances and they told us they were ok. "We were outside for a while and then we had to wait at the car park. Eventually we were allowed to leave and we are now home safe in Antwerp." "I heard one shot fired, then someone shouted some words in Arabic" One man who had been inside the airport told the BBC: "I heard two explosions and then the ceiling fell on us. "I saw a woman going down the escalator - her leg was bleeding because of the shattered glass. "I heard one shot fired, then someone shouted some words in Arabic, followed by a huge explosion. And then people started to flee towards the lifts and escalators." "There were lots of people on the ground" Jef Versele, 40, from Ghent, told the Press Association: "I was on my way to check in and two bombs went off - two explosions. "I didn't see anything. Everything was coming down. Glassware. It was chaos. It was unbelievable. It was the worst thing. People were running away. There were lots of people on the ground. A lot of people are injured. "The bomb was coming from downstairs. It was going up through the roof. It was big. "About 15 windows were just blown out from the entrance hall." "My hearing will be damaged" David Crunelle, from Brussels, told the BBC: "While dropping off my luggage two explosions happened right next to me. Two or three seconds between the two explosions. "They happened in the departure (area) for international flights... My hearing will be damaged because of the sound of the explosions. "I've seen many people injured around me, including children - really, really injured and covered in blood, people outside on the floor. So I'm really lucky." Watch: Passengers are evacuated from Brussels metro station following blast "People were running out of the station covered in blood" Darren Hayes, from London, is staying on the Rue Philippe Le Bon, Brussels - near Maalbeek metro station. "My partner lives in Brussels. I am visiting for the week. I went to the market this morning and passed Maalbeek station as it happened. People were running out of the station covered in blood and injured. "There was chaos. "I was told to get indoors and stay there. At one stage I heard lots of people shouting very loudly, and then some people grabbed the injured and ran further away from the station down the side streets where I am. "Now I am in the flat and they have cordoned off the area." "We felt a blast of air and my ears popped" Evan Lamos was travelling towards Maelbeek when the metro train he was on was evacuated. "We felt a small blast of air and my ears popped. The blast of air was not that big, it was something similar to if you stood in front of a fan. "The metro immediately stopped, the lights turned off, the engine turned off. And a message came over the intercom saying there had been a disturbance on the line, and they were working to resolve it. That continued for about three or four minutes. "There was a lot of apprehension and nervousness - I think a lot of people were reading about the news of the explosions at the airport.... then someone came from the front of the metro to the back, and opened up the door, installed a ladder and started evacuating people." "The glass doors were blown out" One witness told Belgian broadcaster RTBF: "We left Maelbeek station towards the centre at around 09:07 or 09:10 when we felt an explosion which appeared to come from the front of the train. "The lights went off, there was panic given what happened at Brussels Airport. "The doors of the train were forced open to get off the train. There was a lot of smoke. We left via Maelbeek station. The glass doors were blown out. The explosion must have been violent." "We have numbers of policemen with AK-47 style weapons" Steven Woolfe, an English MEP for the UK Independence Party, was in an office near the underground station. "I heard a very loud bang that was like a car exhaust exploding. The building shook a little bit. As we opened the door you could start hearing car horns going off and see people moving away from the metro. Within a short period of time the police were on the ground in their distinctive uniforms, ushering people away. "There were a couple of people with cameras trying to take photos but the police were firm in pushing them away. "Here in the parliament area we have numbers of policemen with AK-47 style weapons." Staff at HMP Norwich realised a drugs trolley was unlocked and the medication had disappeared in the early hours of 3 December, according to a prison report. A Ministry of Justice (MoJ) spokesman said an investigation into what happened was currently taking place. The MoJ added it could not say what drug had been removed from the trolley. It said: "We will take action against anyone found to have been involved." An officer observed a prisoner walking around the landing near the centre at 00:10 GMT, according to the prison report. "He escorted him back to his dormitory where he found the gate was unlocked," the report said. The officer then conducted a search of the cell before locking him up, it adds. At the same time, nursing staff discovered the drugs trolley kept in a side room in the centre was unlocked. "On a further check it was established that a quantity of medication was missing and unaccounted for," the report stated. NHS England appointed Virgincare to run the health centre in April 2014. Earlier this year, inspectors found that Class A drugs were intercepted at the prison. Their report revealed that a member of staff was sentenced for "illegal provision of drugs to prisoners for cash". The Independent Monitoring Board found that healthcare had "improved after an uncertain start to the new contract with Virgincare", but said there were "too many agency staff" running the centre. A spokesman for Virgincare said: "Following an incident at HMP Norwich, we are currently taking part in a joint investigation into the circumstances."

Farmers have been harvesting their crops as quickly as they can in case they are destroyed. Froome has been subjected to sustained scrutiny since his Tour win in 2013, with some sceptics using power data to justify their case against him. The 30-year-old Briton has always insisted he is a clean rider. "We think someone has hacked into training data and got Chris's files," said Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford. "We've got some legal guys on the case. I would never mention a name but ethically and morally if you are going to accuse someone of doping, then don't cheat." Froome said critics on social media who try to interpret power data are "clowns", adding that it means nothing without context. He has also said he is prepared to be a spokesman for drug-free sport. With Froome leading this year's Tour by 12 seconds going into Tuesday's 167km 10th stage, Brailsford says he is braced for more questions over doping. "It's part of the game, isn't it?" he said. "If he does well [on Tuesday], the rest of the Tour it's 'how do you know he's not doping?' "The question of how to prove a negative is always going to be a difficult one. "I used to worry about it a lot more, but I don't any more. It's part of the game. Just try to be honest, tell the truth, be open." The Langham Dome in North Norfolk, one of only six training domes in the country, was built in 1942 and sits on the edge of a former RAF base. Film of enemy planes was projected on its walls to simulate target practise. It is being restored thanks to £200,00 from English Heritage and £426,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Source: BBC and friends of Langham Dome Once renovations are completed, the dome will open to the public as an education centre. John Ette, from English Heritage, said the concrete used to build it had suffered severe decay. The metal rod and mesh sub-structure was also decaying. "It's required an absolutely innovative technique to run a current through it to drive the moisture out," said Mr Ette. "Then it has to be refaced, so it's actually quite a technically difficult job and it's taken years to build up the right expertise." Patrick Allen, from the Friends of Langham Dome - the organisation instrumental in securing the grants for the dome's restoration - said it was the culmination of 20 years' work. "Future generations can come in here and hopefully will be able to learn what went on in 1940 to 45 in Langham," he said. "Langham went from a village of 200 people to 2,000 people living here during the war, so it was quite an upheaval for the village. "I think it's important to remember this," added Mr Allen. Brendan Conway, 28, is accused of charges including causing or inciting children aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity and possession of indecent photographs of young children. Police said the charges relate to at least three children. The chef, from Alvaston in Derby, was remanded in custody and will appear at the city's crown court on 24 April. He appeared before magistrates in Derby via video link. As a football coach, he worked with a youth team in Derby. He was also a successful street dancer and had appeared on television dance show Got to Dance, as an extra in the movie Streetdance 3D, and was due to appear on Britain's Got Talent. The proportion of passengers happy with their journeys fell from 82% in spring 2014 to 80% in spring 2015, a Transport Focus survey suggested. Some 96% on First Hull Trains were satisfied - the highest in the country. By contrast, satisfaction was just 72% on Southern and 74% on Govia Thameslink. Michael Roberts, director general of the Rail Delivery Group which represents train operators and Network Rail, said: "Too often many passengers are not getting the service they deserve, and for this we are sorry. "More than almost anything else passengers want trains to be reliable and run on time. After years of improvement overall satisfaction has fallen, largely due to delays in London and the south east and how we deal with those delays." Transport Focus, formerly known as Passenger Focus, spoke to 31,000 rail travellers. It found below average satisfaction on services run by: Services with higher satisfaction included: Satisfaction for operators in London and the south east of England dipped from 80% in spring 2014 to 78% in spring 2015. The biggest decline on these routes was a 5% dip in passengers who felt train companies dealt well with delays. And just 45% of rail passengers across the survey thought the price of their ticket represented value for money - similar to the figure for the previous year. Transport Focus chief executive Anthony Smith said: "Commuters will not be surprised at these results. Long-term plans and investment are important and welcome - how the work is carried out, though, is crucial. "The London Bridge rebuilding scheme in particular has caused problems. We're now working with train companies and Network Rail to try and minimise the impact on commuters." Office of Rail and Road chief executive Richard Price said there had been "marked improvement in passenger satisfaction" in the past decade. He added: "In the past year, however, we've seen overall scores dip significantly. Passengers are telling us that reliability and punctuality of trains remains their primary concern." The Mayor of London's office said the potential move followed "record low" numbers of fires and related deaths in the capital. Removing the engines, out of use for more than two years, could save £8.1m from the 2016/1017 budget. London Fire Brigade (LFB) said it had received a letter from the mayor and would respond in due course. The engines are likely to be cut from service after a public consultation in which 70% of 1,478 respondents - including members of the public and LFB staff - voted to maintain the number of engines and fire stations in the capital. A spokesperson for London Mayor Boris Johnson said the engines had been held back for two-and-a-half years and in that time, response times had "continued to be comfortably met". She added: "The savings achieved by their permanent removal would allow more money to be invested in frontline officers and help fund vital long term work to continue reducing the number of fires and deaths in the capital for many years to come." Mr Johnson is to direct the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) to follow earlier recommendations by the Fire Commissioner and start to make an official plan to implement the cuts. LFB, which has been asked to make a total of £11.5m savings for the coming financial year, said it would respond to the mayor via the LFEPA. City had led in the first half through Julie Fleeting's goal. However, Hibs were level by the break as Lucy Graham tucked home on the rebound after Lizzie Arnot's penalty had been saved.

The new Rent Smart scheme requires anyone who rents out property in Wales to register or become licensed by 23 November. But the Residential Landlords Association (RLA) said many were still unaware they need to do so. Rent Smart Wales said landlords were given a year to register and it would not extend the deadline. A Freedom of Information request by the RLA showed just 32,230 out of 130,000 landlords had registered by 18 October - those who do not comply can be fined. The figures were released by Cardiff council, which is administering the scheme for the whole of Wales. Douglas Haig, RLA director for Wales, said he was writing to Community Secretary Carl Sargeant to request a new deadline to allow time for landlords to be properly educated about what they need to do. But Rent Smart Wales said there had been a large increase in numbers registering as the deadline approached and 46,300 out of 130,000 landlords had now registered and a further 11,400 had begun the registration process. Mr Haig said communication had been "poor" with "very few" landlords aware of the scheme. He said others were leaving it until the last minute because registration and licences run for five years from the date they are approved, not from 23 November. The number of staff employed to carry out the scheme had also been "grossly underestimated", he added. "I don't think it's asking a lot for the Welsh Government or Cardiff council to come forth with an education plan to get this information out there. That would be a sensible approach," he said. A Rent Smart Wales spokesman said: "We have no intention of extending the deadline. However, we do recognise that, due the very high numbers of landlords visiting the website to register and apply for licenses, some are experiencing difficulties. "The Rent Smart Wales team consists of 79 posts and the team are working hard to reduce waiting times for customers. "Once the November 23 deadline for complying has passed, enforcement powers will be used in a sensible and proportionate manner." RENT SMART FACTFILE:

Calls have been made for an extension to the registration deadline for all residential landlords in Wales.

One of the earliest arrivals after midnight was Violet Gromett, who made her entrance to the world at 00:07 at the Ayrshire Maternity Unit at Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock. Violet, who weighed 8lb 14oz, is the first child for Sheryl Bell and David Gromett who live in Ayr. A few minutes later a boy, Carl, was born at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow at 00:19. He is a fourth child for Glasgow mother Leigh Bridges. Shortly afterwards, Daniel MacPherson was born at Wishaw General Hospital, a third child for Nicola Swann from Blantyre. His two siblings helped choose his name. Other babies arriving in the early hours included a boy born at 01:56 to Dumbarton mother Zahra Sajjad at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley. At Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Alison Roy gave birth to daughter Lisa at 02:26. The first baby today at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary was Alvie, born at 04:41 to local parents Kirstie and Steven Frater. At Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert, a boy arrived at 05:33 for Cumbernauld couple Victoria and Stephen Timpson. The first new year baby at St John's Hospital in Livingston was Imogen, who was born at 08:42 to Madison Finlay from West Lothian. McCarthy, 26, missed Everton's win over West Brom on Saturday after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury. Toffees boss Ronald Koeman said after the game that the midfielder is "one or two weeks" away from fitness. Koeman and Republic boss Martin O'Neill became involved in a row about McCarthy's fitness in November and the player missed the 1-0 win in Austria. McCarthy's hamstring issues have restricted him to only seven Premier League starts this term and Koeman is keen to get to the bottom of it. "He played 30-35 minutes last week and then we need to put him in the recovery group after the game," said the Everton boss. "It's not a big hamstring injury. He will be out for one or two weeks. "It's another step back for the boy and that's really disappointing. We need to find a solution." O'Neill will announce the Republic's squad for the Wales game on Monday and the expectation is that the Everton midfielder will be an inclusion. Asked if he expected O'Neill to select McCarthy, Koeman replied: "I don't know. We know it will be another nine, 10 days [before the game] and the Fifa rule is that they have the possibility to call the player. "If they call the player the player will go and they will see how his fitness is at that time." The Republic lead Group D on 10 points after four rounds of fixtures, which leaves them two points ahead of Serbia with Wales a further two points off the pace in third. Guardiola and Conte are both in their debut season in English football and face each other again on Wednesday. The latter has fared better, with his Chelsea side leading the Premier League, 11 points ahead of fourth-placed City. "My opinion about my colleague Conte is that he's superb," said the Catalan. "He was able to make Italy play beautiful football - Juventus too - in a culture where it's so defensive. "He's an excellent manager, I learn a lot when I see his teams - Juventus, Italy and now. I like to do that because you see what they want to do. Their teams control a lot of aspects. "Maybe he's the best." Guardiola took over at Manchester City last summer having won three successive Bundesliga titles and two German Cups with Bayern Munich between 2013 and 2016. Before that he led Barcelona to three straight La Liga titles, two Copa del Reys and the Champions League twice. However, the 46 year old says he was always realistic about what he could achieve with City during this campaign. "In my case I had to win the treble and change English football," he said. "Expectations were quite high, that's why I'm going to fall short definitely. I cannot have success this season. "In Barcelona we won the three titles in a row, we played all the competitions, we played the Champions League every three days and we were able to play almost immediately. Sometimes you need more time." City's performances against the top Premier League teams this season have given Guardiola belief his side are moving in the right direction. They have drawn against Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal this year and beat the Gunners last December. However, the Spaniard insists there is much more work to do. "Our games against the big teams at home, we were much better than all of them. I was so proud," he added. "But we were not able to win. That's why we are not where we would like to be. "Sometimes away to the big clubs we've maybe not made the best performance. "In Monchengladbach for example, Celtic in Europe, Anfield, Arsenal in the first half - we've not given our best performance. "Now I'd like to see what we try to do from the beginning. Be brave, show courage." Chelsea won 3-1 at City in December after coming back from a goal down in a game which saw Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho sent off in injury time. "We finished the game against Chelsea four points behind them. Believe me, I saw the game many times. We were much, much better. I'm sorry Antonio but we were. We deserved to win." Chelsea suffered a surprise 2-1 home defeat by Crystal Palace last weekend, but Guardiola does not feel the loss will hurt the confidence of Wednesday's opponents, who had gone 10 home games unbeaten prior to that result. "They will be more focused," added Guardiola. "When you win 10, 11 or 12 games in a row, the danger is to be relaxed. "You are winning and have a points advantage. But when you lose a game, after that the warnings are there." Police Scotland said officers attended the property at Beach Boulevard after the death was reported on Sunday morning. The death is currently being treated as "unexplained" and the investigation is ongoing. A number of officers have been making inquiries in the area and a mobile police office is at the scene. Det Insp Allen Shaw said: "Our investigation is at a very early stage and there will be a police presence including a police pod in the area while initial inquiries are carried out. "Thank you in advance to local residents for your patience." 22 Mehefin 2017 Diweddarwyd 22:13 BST Mae rhaglen Newyddion 9 wedi clywed cwynion am anghenion sylfaenol yn cael eu hanwybyddu, a hynny er gwaetha safonau newydd gafodd eu cyflwyno tair blynedd yn ôl.

Now in Melbourne, he said he fled Thailand because influential figures implicated in trafficking wanted him killed. He quit the Thai police last month. Maj Gen Paween said that his investigation, which wound up after five months, was halted by influential people in the government, military and police. His investigation resulted in more than 150 arrest warrants issued - including for politicians, policemen and military figures - and trials have begun in Thailand. But he told the BBC's Newsday programme that "some influential figures were not happy" about the warrants issued. He was reassigned to the far south of the country, and said he feared his life was in danger. Thailand's military junta denies claims it turned a blind eye to human trafficking. There has been no official response to Maj Gen Paween's latest comments so far. The discovery of a mass grave in a trafficking camp along the Thai-Malaysian border in May happened almost by accident. But it shocked the Thai military government into starting a more thorough investigation into trafficking networks, which had until then operated with near-impunity. The man they put in charge of that investigation was Police Major-General Paween Pongsirin, an officer with long experience in Thailand's south. He pursued his task with dogged determination, bringing 88 suspects to court, including for the first time a senior military officer, General Manas Kongplan. These cases were presented by the Thai government as evidence of its good faith in wanting to stamp out the human trade. But in October Maj Gen Paween's investigation was halted, despite his own pleas that his work was unfinished, with many more suspects at large. He was ordered to move to the deep south, where amid an ongoing insurgency traffickers operate more freely, and where he said he and his family would be at great risk of reprisals. His appeals for help went unanswered, and he resigned from the police force. That he has fled to Australia and sought asylum shows he feels unsafe staying in his own country; yet without his testimony the cases he initiated could well collapse. Other important witnesses have also gone into hiding. And Thailand's claim to be serious about stopping the trafficking business looks hollow. The discovery of mass graves in jungle camps around the Malaysia-Thai border in May put a spotlight on the human trafficking industry in the region. Many of the migrants are believed to be Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar as well as economic migrants from Bangladesh. An investigation by the BBC earlier this year found entire communities in Thailand had been assisting the traffickers. It was previously owned by illustrator Pauline Baynes, who produced the first illustrative map for Tolkien's trilogy. It was unseen for decades until last October, when a book shop put it on display for an asking price of £60,000. On the map, Tolkien adds place names in Elvish, one of the languages he created for the books. Ms Baynes was introduced to when she first submitted illustrations for his Middle-earth epic in 1949. Tolkien went on to introduce her to fellow author CS Lewis, for whose Narnia books she also went on to produce illustrations. The map, which was bought by the Bodleian Libraries for about the asking price, will become part of its Tolkien archive and could be exhibited to the public. On the annotated map, Tolkien instructs Ms Baynes on the placement of important towns and cities like Hobbiton, the home of the trilogy's hero Frodo Baggins. In one annotation he writes Hobbiton should be "approximately at the latitude of Oxford", where the author lived. The Bodleian Libraries' keeper of special collections Chris Fletcher, said: "We're delighted to have been able to acquire this map and it's particularly appropriate that we are keeping it in Oxford. "Tolkien spent almost the whole of his adult life in the city and was clearly thinking about its geographical significance as he composed elements of the map." The map was originally drawn by Tolkien's son Christopher for the 1954 edition of the book. EU trade ministers are discussing the Ceta deal in Luxembourg, and Wallonia's concerns cannot be ignored. Belgium's national government backs the deal. Walloon MPs say Ceta favours Canadian firms and they want more safeguards for Belgian farmers. It is the EU's biggest trade deal yet. Going into the Luxembourg meeting, Mr Reynders said: "The federal government is in favour [of Ceta] but we have to convince particularly Wallonia. "I'm in permanent contact with the Walloon prime minister. I hope we'll be able to move forward at the summit." Trade will be a major issue at the two-day EU summit in Brussels, which starts on Thursday. EU leaders hope to sign Ceta - the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement - with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on 27 October. The negotiations started in 2009. Some UK politicians see Ceta as a possible model for a Brexit deal with the EU. It will not allow the degree of EU market access that UK services currently enjoy. And Ceta does not involve EU-style free movement of people. Would Ceta be a good model for the UK? Walloon PM Paul Magnette said he was expecting the European Commission to present an additional text addressing his region's concerns. On Friday the Walloon parliament, representing 3.6m people, voted against Ceta. European Parliament briefing on Ceta The deal requires approval by all six regional and community parliaments in Belgium, as well as the EU's national parliaments, and the European Parliament, to take full effect. But parts of the deal can be implemented before full ratification. One of the most controversial areas - special investor courts to handle commercial disputes - will have to await full ratification of Ceta. "If there are safeguard clauses for the Canadians to legitimately protect their markets against possible European exports, which might threaten them, then why not have reciprocal clauses [for Europe] too?" Mr Magnette said. "We in Wallonia are coming under huge pressure - and sometimes we're getting barely disguised threats," he told Belgian RTBF news. Wallonia wants clear safeguards on human rights and sustainable development, and protection for farmers, including maintaining the ban on hormone-treated beef, he said. Slovak Economy Minister Peter Ziga, chairing the EU meeting, voiced frustration over the Belgian blockage. He noted that Belgium was at the heart of the EU from the very start, and "it's very near to Canada, with language connections and everything - I don't understand the position now. "If we don't agree with Canada with whom will we agree?" Opponents fear that Ceta will be used as a model to push through an even more controversial EU-US trade deal, called TTIP, much of which remains to be negotiated. The activists argue that Ceta and similar deals put job security and social welfare at risk, in a global "race to the bottom" that serves the interests of a wealthy elite. Greenpeace environmentalists urged EU ministers to reject Ceta. "Ceta will put the interests of multinationals above people and the planet," the group said. The LEADER scheme is a European Union and Scottish government programme administered by a local action group. It aims to support small and micro businesses, farm diversification projects and social enterprises. The key areas it hopes to boost are "tourism, food and drink, creative industries and renewables". Councillor Stuart Bell said the funding was "excellent news" for the region and would help strengthen the economy. "In previous years we have seen a fantastic range of projects achieve great things on the back of receiving funding through the LEADER programme, and I know that this will be the case again as the fund reopens to new applications," he said. The scheme has the following funding available: It is expected that the fund will start to award the first grants in June 2016. David Crompton was suspended by Crime Commissioner Dr Alan Billings after the Hillsborough inquests due to "eroding trust and confidence" in the force. The PCP said it had concluded Dr Billings "should call upon" Mr Crompton to either resign or retire. Dr Billings will consider the response before making a final decision. In a statement released by the PCP, which met on Friday to consider the matter, panel chair Councillor Talib Hussain said: "I can confirm that the recommendation of the Police and Crime Panel is that the police and crime commissioner should call upon the chief constable to resign or retire." Mr Crompton announced in March, just weeks before he was suspended, he intended to retire in November after four years in the post and 41 years in policing. A report published by the PCP said Mr Crompton had made "a catastrophic error of judgement" in attempting to explain the force's legal approach to the Hillsborough inquests after the jury concluded police conduct contributed to or caused the disaster. Having apologised in 2012 for the force's efforts to deflect responsibility for the disaster on to Liverpool supporters he was criticised by Andy Burnham MP for seemingly going back on the apology during the hearing. In a statement published after the inquest he said the force had not tried to defend its failures but "these failures had to be put into the context of other contributory factors". The PCP said his comments had led to "the inevitable risk that it would be perceived as rowing back on the previous apology" and suggested the force had "continued to put the protection of its own reputation above the welfare of the families". The panel concluded that given the "damage" his words had done to the force and the "continuing damage" which would have been caused to that reputation if Mr Crompton were to stay in post, Dr Billings "was justified in his decision to suspend the chief constable". The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters, say they have now sealed off escape routes to the south. IS seized Raqqa in early 2014 and established its headquarters there. The SDF have been gradually advancing on the city since November and launched an offensive to take it on 6 June. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group confirmed the last route out of the city had now been cut off. Col Ryan Dillon, a spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve, the US-led coalition against IS, said that the SDF now controlled "all high speed avenues of approach into Raqqa from the south". He said that IS fighters "abandoned by their leadership, are being pressured by the SDF from multiple axes around the city". Col Ryan also said the forces had "cleared about 7.5 sq miles (19.4 sq km) from IS in and around Raqqa this week". Ali Shervan, a Kurdish SDF fighter, told Kurdistan24: "The city centre is completely besieged, and our forces are fighting from all sides." The SDF say they have discovered an extensive network of tunnels used by IS fighters in the city. Another SDF fighter, Bave Delil, said: "[IS] militants do not fight face to face, rather they send suicide bombers or plant mines to impede the advance of our troops." The coalition has said the capture of Raqqa will deliver a "decisive blow" to the caliphate proclaimed by IS in June 2014, months after it took control of the city. The battle for the city has been brutal for the civilians there. The UN said on Wednesday that at least 173 had been killed this month, and that the actual figure could be far higher, stressing that "civilians must not be sacrificed for the sake of rapid military victories". It is believed that up to 100,000 people are trapped by the fighting. Reports continue to emerge of IS militants preventing civilians from fleeing. Up to 4,000 militants are believed to be holed up inside Raqqa. More than 300,000 people have lost their lives in six years of conflict in Syria, which began with protests against President Bashar al-Assad before escalating into a full-scale civil war. Eleven million other people have been displaced by the fighting. Eliza Adamson-Hopper contacted Durham Police chief Mike Barton suggesting cats would be good at listening out for danger and rescuing people from trees. She received a reply saying he would pass the idea on to an inspector. The force has now confirmed it will consider using felines in an as-yet unspecified role. Insp Richie Allen, of the dog support unit, said: "I can confirm the force is looking into recruiting what we believe to be the first UK police cat. "Their duties and responsibilities have not yet been agreed but if nothing else they will become the force mascot. "Of course, if it smells a rat we'll expect it to catch it." Eliza, who has a cat called Mittens and a dog called Susie, wanted to know why the police use dogs but not cats. Her mother Cheryl Adamson, from Burnopfield in County Durham, said: "Eliza has loads of questions for everyone and I don't always know the answers. "We typed out a letter to the chief constable, she told us what to write, and we said she might not get a response because he is a busy man." Eliza's letter read: "A police cat would be good as they have good ears and can listen out for danger. "Cats are good at finding their way home and could show policemen the way. "Cats are good at climbing trees and hunting and could rescue people that are stuck." Mr Barton's reply, which included a drawing of his cat, thanked her for the suggestion. Ms Adamson said: "Eliza was delighted with the response, but we thought that would be the end of it. "Then the inspector from the dogs unit sent her a calendar and invited her to an open day." Roseann Browne and Stacey Duff went to the woman's Dundee home looking for Browne's son. Dundee Sheriff Court was told she was bundled into a car after the pair threatened her. Police were alerted and apprehended the women before the car could be driven away. The victim had managed to dial 999 as the two women broke into her flat but then her phone was taken from her. Depute fiscal Saima Rasheed told the court: "Neighbours could see and it was clear she did not want to go with them. "She was put in the middle seat in the back of the car and all the other seats were occupied by the two accused and two males. "Police asked for the complainer to get out of the car and when she did, she told them to 'get me away from them'. "Officers entered the building and could see the mortice lock on the door was damaged and found the mobile phone smashed inside on the floor." Browne, 41, of Cupar, and Duff, 30, of Kirkcaldy, pleaded guilty to a charge of abduction committed on 29 July this year in Dundee. Not guilty pleas from two male co-accused were accepted by the Crown. Sheriff Alastair Carmichael deferred sentence until January for social work background reports and released the two women on bail. Richard Bell said the scorpion fell from the overhead bin and onto his head during lunch on a trip from Houston, Texas to Calgary in Canada. After putting it on his plate, he was stung. United has offered compensation. It happened on Sunday, the same day a United passenger was violently dragged from a plane after refusing to give his seat to a staff member. Video of the incident has been watched by millions of people online. Dr David Dao, a 69-year-old Vietnamese-American, lost two front teeth and suffered a broken nose and a "significant" concussion in the incident. Mr Bell, who was travelling with his wife, Linda, told CBC: "While I was eating, something fell in my hair from the overhead above me. "I picked it up, and it was a scorpion. And I was holding it out by the tail, so it couldn't really sting me then." A fellow passenger, he said, warned him that the creature was a scorpion and could be dangerous. "So I dropped it on my plate and then I went to pick it up again, and that's when it stung me. It got my nail, mostly," he said Mr Bell flicked the scorpion on to the floor and a flight attendant covered it with a cup before throwing it away in the bathroom. A nurse who happened to be on board gave him a painkiller as a precaution, he said. When the plane landed in Calgary he was taken to a hospital, and later released after being cleared of any medical issue. Mr Bell said he had no plans to launch a lawsuit. United Airlines has offered the couple flying credit as compensation, CBC reports. In the incident with Dr Dao, law enforcement officials were called after he refused to leave the overbooked plane travelling from Chicago to Louisville, Kentucky, saying he needed to get home to see his patients. Dr Dao's lawyers have filed an emergency court request for the airline to preserve evidence ahead of a hearing on Monday. He was released on Wednesday night from a Chicago hospital, his lawyer said, adding that he planned to have reconstructive surgery. Users said they were also unable to access their internal company networks. Russian IT security company Kaspersky Labs told users to disable its anti-virus software or roll back the update. Two hours later it issued a fix - but since their PCs were unable to auto-install new code from the net, users had to perform several tasks first. Kaspersky told its customers: "Please disable the web AV component of your protection policy for your managed computers." It then told them to go the repositories section, download an update and re-enable the protection. The company issued a statement, apologising "for any inconvenience caused by this database update error". "Actions have been taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future," it said. Dorset-based IT consultant Graham Lord wrote on the micro-blogging site Twitter: "Bravo on breaking the internet on all your XP clients. "Your update just set back one of my repair jobs by a day's work." But Spain-based security blogger David Barroso tweeted: "So Kaspersky QA [quality assurance] team failed with this update but they quickly released a fix, which it is something good." Darren O'Neill, 33, is accused of stabbing Steven Quail to death in Greenend Avenue, Johnstone, on 25 February. He was arrested after police made a public appeal for information. Mr O'Neill made no plea or declaration at Paisley Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody. He is expected to appear in court again next week. Adam Haywood denied causing 29-year-old Louise Wright's death by careless driving in Nottingham in 2014. The city's crown court heard Mr Haywood, 30, of Langley Mill, Derbyshire, had failed to indicate when Ms Wright was crossing a city centre junction. A retrial will take place at Derby Crown Court on 19 September. Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire Ms Wright suffered "catastrophic" injuries as a result of the collision at the junction of Lower Parliament Street and Pennyfoot Street in July 2014. The prosecution alleged Mr Haywood had not indicated and hit Miss Wright's rear wheel. He previously told the court he had checked his mirrors while at traffic lights and did not see the cyclist. He said he would usually indicate on approach to a junction but on this occasion he could not remember if he had done so. He had not realised anything was wrong until he heard people screaming and shouting, he said. Judge James Sampson said the reason for discharging the jury could not be reported. The RNLI station at Swanage started a two-year appeal in 2013 to raise £200,000 towards the building needed to house a new larger lifeboat. The station said more than double the amount had been raised in response. Swanage RNLI operation manager Neil Hardy said: "We've had the generosity of the local community and various benefactors; it's just great." The money from the appeal will avoid the station having to use central funding from the charity for the build. The £3.5m lifeboat station, which is being rebuilt on the site of the original boathouse in Peveril Point Road, is due for completion in the summer. In April the crew will get a Shannon class lifeboat costing £1.5m to replace its current Mersey class lifeboat Robert Charles Brown. The lifeboat is being kept on a mooring point while the new station is being built. Vjeran Tomic, 49, is accused of stealing five paintings, including works by Picasso and Matisse, from the Modern Art Museum in May 2010. The paintings were stolen after an intruder cut through a padlocked gate and broke a window to enter the museum. Two alleged accomplices are being tried alongside Mr Tomic. What France's stolen masterpieces tell us According to French media reports, the museum's alarm system had been waiting for repairs when the pictures were stolen during a night raid. The theft was only noticed the following morning, as security guards were checking the building before opening the doors to the public. Among the stolen works were Pablo Picasso's Dove with Green Peas, and Pastoral by Henri Matisse, along with paintings by Georges Braque, Amedeo Modigliani and Ferdinand Leger. The paintings have never been found. Mr Tomic, a rock climbing enthusiast, was arrested following an anonymous tip to police. No players were on board the tour bus involved in the accident on a highway in the south-western state of Arizona. It had been on its way to a Dallas Cowboys fan event in Las Vegas when the collision happened 48km (30 miles) north of the city of Kingman. Officials said all four fatalities had been riding in the van. "All on the bus came through OK with some bumps and bruises," the Associated Press news agency quoted Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple as saying. It was not clear what caused the crash on Sunday afternoon, and investigations are under way. After the Las Vegas stop, the bus had been due to go on to Oxnard in California for the team's training camp, AP reports. The Dallas Cowboys topped Forbes' 2016 list as the most valuable sports team in the world, with a value of $4bn (£3bn). Carwyn Jones told Buzzfeed News that Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party needed a "ruthless focus on the things that matter to ordinary people". He also warned that fake news was making it harder for Labour to make its case to people online. The interview comes after Mr Jones criticised UK Labour on immigration. "At the moment people would struggle to know what Labour's programme for government would be in Westminster," Mr Jones told Buzzfeed. "I've made this point with Jeremy - we've got to have a programme for government. We're not in that position yet across the UK. "It means a ruthless focus on the things that matter to ordinary people. Immigration matters to ordinary people. "It means being robust on workers' rights, on issues such as pensions, and not accepting that the whole world is an enormous free market." Mr Jones said the left had been "slow" in its use of social media. "The far-right has taken up social media more quickly than the centre-left... we've got to catch up," he said. Mr Jones aired concerns that fake news - sites that publish hoaxes, untrue or propaganda articles - is making it harder for Labour to get its point of view across on issues such as immigration. "My fear is that people will lose the ability to distinguish between rubbish and what has actually happened," he said. "They expect newspapers to come at things from a certain angle - if you read the Express you expect it to be Brexit-mad and make allowances. "But people are not used to making those allowances online." Earnings in Britain fell by almost 15%, largely because of the weakening of the pound against the euro following the Brexit vote in June. The introduction of an 8% bank corporation tax surcharge also hit UK earnings, it said. However, its global profits rose by 4% after a strong performance in Brazil. Overall, the Spanish bank said it earned 6.2bn euros (£5.3bn) in the period while increasing its customers by four million to 125 million. Profit before tax climbed in nine of its 10 main markets, while net earnings jumped 9.5% in Brazil, its largest market. But in the UK - which accounts for a fifth of the bank's profits - earnings plunged 14.7% to 1.68bn euros, although excluding currency movements, the drop was just 4%. Sterling has fallen to a near three-decade low since the UK voted to quit the EU last year. The bank also saw a sharp slowdown in the number of new customers signing up to its popular 123 current account after it halved the top interest rate in November. It added 483,000 new 123 customers in 2016, down from about a million in 2015. The bank also put aside another £114m in the fourth quarter for compensation linked to the payment protection insurance (PPI) mis-selling scandal. However, Santander UK told the BBC it had increased lending and was supporting the UK economy "to a greater extent now than it was in 2015". "On an underlying basis, our statutory performance has actually improved," it added. Looking ahead, it said it expected to see a "changeable and more challenging" trading environment this year. "The effects of higher inflation and continued economic uncertainty could result in slower UK economic growth in 2017 than experienced in the past three years," it said. "We expect our corporate lending to be slower than in recent years, consistent with forecasted slowdown in the UK economic growth." The "Cricket Association of England" and "Cricket Control Scotland Limited" are among those registered. "In the absence of any proper explanation, there is clearly a concern for cricket," an England and Wales Cricket Board spokesperson said. The Guardian says the website addresses are owned by organisers of the now-defunct Indian Cricket League. "Australia Cricket Control Limited" and "New Zealand Cricket Limited" are other names registered, according to the newspaper. The domain address for the "Cricket Association of England" ends in ".co.in" suggesting it has been registered in India. Chairman Giles Clarke raised the issue at a meeting of the International Cricket Council, but the ECB says that other members are better-placed to find out the motives of the Essel Group that owns Asian sports broadcaster Ten Sports and ran the Indian Cricket League - a short-lived rival to the Indian Premier League - between 2007 and 2009. "We've asked our colleagues at Boards with whom there's a direct relationship to help in clarifying this situation with their broadcast partner," the ECB added. "At this stage, until we know more, there's nothing more we can add." New cars and light vans will have the system as standard from 31 March 2018. The eCall device will alert rescue services automatically, using the existing 112 emergency number. Basic data will be sent only when an accident occurs. The technology was first proposed in 2012, but legislation was delayed amid privacy concerns. After negotiations between MEPs and EU governments it was agreed that eCall would provide only basic data such as: The European Commission says installation of the device is likely to add about €100 (£72; $109) to the cost of a new car. A standard accident alert system is needed in Europe, because "when you cross a border you have a language problem and often do not even really know where you are", said Czech Social Democrat MEP Olga Sehnalova, the parliament's lead negotiator on the issue. MEPs in favour of the plans say rescue services will be able to reach crash scenes faster, saving lives and reducing the severity of injuries. Research suggests that the system could halve response times, especially in rural areas. Ms Sehnalova said privacy would be protected. "The information is transferred only at the moment a serious accident occurs and airbag are sensors set off. Then a standard set of information is sent to the rescue services." But Jan Philipp Albrecht from the Greens said the technology should not be mandatory. "The consequence of being connected all the time means that we are also subject to more possibilities to track us," he told the BBC. "We reduced the data being processed to a very minimum, but nonetheless it is technically possible for companies, or for an authority, to track your position and to even surveil you. So I don't think this should be obliged to everybody. Everybody should have the chance to opt out." The UK government objects to the plans. UK Transport Minister Claire Perry said "the benefit of making eCall mandatory in all new cars does not justify the cost of implementing it. "We do not support the measure, because it is not cost-effective for us." Harri Jones, 18, remains in a comfortable and stable condition. He suffered a fractured skull and cheekbone, and lost sight in one eye following last Wednesday's accident. It happened in Kavos on the first night of his first holiday abroad with friends. 18 June 2016 Last updated at 12:04 BST A portable machine has been sending high-frequency radio waves into the earth to map out the building's "footprint" concealed beneath. The survey is the first comprehensive archaeological investigation at Reading Abbey for more than 150 years. Experts say the Hidden Abbey Project could even uncover the high altar where King Henry I and Queen Adeliza are buried. The live TV service will carry more than 40 channels, including some of the country's biggest networks including ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN. The service will also include a "cloud DVR" that will let users record and store programming. One analyst told the BBC that YouTube posed a real threat to traditional cable companies. "YouTube is already an extremely well established video brand, and its apps are virtually everywhere," said Paul Verna of eMarketer. The announcement was made at YouTube's LA-based studio, where it gives free access to the network's biggest stars to create original content. That material will be part of the package, but the main draw, and the detail most likely to make cable companies nervous, is the inclusion of top channels - including those showing live sport. "It's live TV designed for the YouTube generation," wrote Christian Oestlien, product management director for YouTube. "Those who want to watch what they want, when they want, how they want, without commitments." The service will launch later this spring in its own standalone application on smart TVs as well as mobile devices. One notable drawback, however, will be the absence of major channels such as HBO, CNN and AMC, home of the Walking Dead series. There were no plans for a similar service outside the US. YouTube has also been slow to get involved in the increasingly crowded market. There are already other streaming cable services offering so-called "skinny bundles" of a few main channels at a cheaper cost compared to a traditional cable TV package. Most notably, DirectTV - owned by AT&T - offers more than 120 channels over the internet, but its cost - $70 per month - is considerably higher. DirectTV has also come in for fierce criticism over stability. At the beginning of this month, the service went down at perhaps the worst moment imaginable - viewers missed the end of the Super Bowl, and perhaps the most dramatic moment in US sports in recent memory. Google's vast infrastructure and expertise could give them an edge, predicted eMarketer's Mr Verna. "YouTube has the technical know how and infrastructure but it's never a given that things will go right. It's not just about delivering the technology at scale. "It's about the user interface - and that's something YouTube has never been particularly good at." Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook.

Police and paramedics were called before he was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have launched an investigation "to establish the full facts around what happened" and officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward. Karadzic, 70, was found him guilty of 10 of 11 charges, including genocide relating to the 1995 Srebrenica massacre. Here, Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) and Serbs give their reaction to the verdict. My father was killed in the war. My grandparents, who were unarmed civilians, were burned alive on the orders of this evil man. We lost our home, our families and our lives. I was three years old when it happened. I was too young then to remember what happened, but I grew up without a father. It was a messed up situation. Karadzic caused so much pain and suffering to people. How do you compensate the thousands of people who lived through what happened here in the 1990s? This verdict is not unexpected. He is an old man now anyway and he will die in prison. Is it a relief? Yes and no. This is a high profile case and it's a relief that he's in jail, but he is just one and there were lots of others who were never caught. It doesn't matter what the verdict is at this stage as it won't give any inner peace to people here. Too much happened and I don't think people will ever move on properly. I am excited about the verdict. I hope Radovan Karadzic is in great pain knowing that Bosnians across the world are rejoicing in his conviction. I am proud to be Bosnian and of the successes of Bosnians all over the world. I left when I was two years old so I didn't experience the war in the same way my family did. I never feared for my life or hid from shelling and sniper fire. However, I live with the consequences of it every day of my life. My father was killed while my mother was pregnant with me in July of 1995. Two of my uncles were also killed during the war. My family had lived in Sarajevo for generations. After the war, my mother took my siblings and I to Croatia and then to San Francisco as refugees. My brother has moved back, but my mother and my sister stayed in the US. My sister has not been back to Sarajevo since the war. Since I was 10, I've visited every year. It's easy to be a pessimist, but today's conviction of Radovan Karadzic gives me hope. Despite war and genocide, we continue to stay strong and to live. Today's verdict was not a matter of whether Karadzic would be found guilty, but how many years he would serve in jail. I think that most Serbs have no trust in the war crimes tribunal, so it turned out as expected. I see it as a step backwards for the reconciliation of the nation, because old wounds are being brought up and Serbs feel like their side of story was never told. I was seven years old when the war started. My family moved to the US before the conflict started. We had meant to go back but the war started and we couldn't return. I lost all the people who took care of me when I was little during the war. I can never go back because for me that place in my childhood has gone. I'm a realist. There were deaths on all sides and atrocities were committed by the Bosnian Serb forces. But I don't understand why Bosnian Muslims and Croats were not tried in the same numbers for crimes committed against the Serbian population in Bosnia. This verdict won't change anything. I think that wounds will never heal back home. I used to think that they would as younger generations became older, but those positions have hardened. I am a survivor of the genocide in Zvornik, where thousands were killed and hundreds were kept in inhumane conditions in a concentration camp during the conflict. There were indiscriminate killings in the city by Bosnian Serb forces, especially between 1992 and 1993. A lot of members of my family were killed, including my brother. Those of us who fled to the mountains nearby lived in inhumane conditions, sometimes sleeping outside in the cold of winter. I moved to London for 11 years from 1995 after leaving Zvornik. I returned and rebuilt my family home, which had been blown up. I knew victims as well as the perpetrators and now live side by side with some of the people who caused those atrocities. Ordinary people have come a long way with the reconciliation process and have moved on. The verdict was as I expected. For us, who lived through the horror, there is not a high enough sentence that can be handed down to Karadzic. But the more, the better. The effect of the verdict is the most important thing. It should have an impact on the future of this country, but without political pressure from outside on the politicians in this country, it won't be a positive impact. It is a shame that Radovan Karadzic was found guilty. Thousands were murdered on all sides in this war. Muslims were murdering Serbs too. Radovan is a great Serb and if he has been found guilty, then what about all the others involved in the conflict? Where are all the Croatians and Bosnians from the war? The conflict effectively started years before 1992 and it only stopped on paper in 1995. There is still hatred on all sides involved in the war. The court in The Hague is only interested in trying Serbs, as they did with (former Yugoslav president) Slobodan Milosevic, before he died, and (former Bosnian Serb army chief) Ratko Mladic. I just want people around the world to learn the truth from our side, the Serbian side and not only see bad stories about us all the time. Additional reporting by Susanna Cooper. The twice-capped 22-year-old Wales fly-half will join Scarlets on a two-year deal next summer. Patchell's last-minute penalty gave Blues a dramatic 21-20 Pro12 win over Newport Gwent Dragons on Sunday. "I'm a Blues player, Blues pay my wages and I will try as hard as I can until the end of the season," Patchell said. "There's a lot of games to play and I'll be proud to pull on the jersey each and every time I'm selected to play for the Blues. "It's a club that's been very good to me. "When the time comes for me to play for Scarlets I'll start talking and having [media] interviews about that." Dragons led the Blues 17-6 after an hour as Dorian Jones' boot added to Ashton Hewitt's early try. But a penalty try gave the Blues hope, and Tom James crossed moments later to close the gap to two points with five minutes remaining. Patchell missed the conversion to draw level, but he made no mistake with a penalty to stun the dominant home side. "I don't think we played particularly well," Patchell added. "We probably fed them too much with our kicking game. "The boys kept going and that's important thing because in years gone by the perception has been that the Blues give up when the going gets tough." Blues' focus now turns to the derby against Scarlets, who were beaten 27-26 in Llanelli by Ospreys on Boxing Day. "It will be exciting for sure," Patchell said of the Arms Park game on 1 January. "They're playing some real good stuff and obviously they got pipped to the post [by Ospreys], which they will be disappointed about. "It's sets up a real cracker and hopefully we'll get a big crowd and the supporters get right behind the boys and we can put another shift in."

The Chinese painted quail was taken to Birdland by Julie Rogers after she stopped four cats attacking it opposite her home in Bourton-on-the-Water. Unbeknown to Ms Rogers, who works in the village post office, it belonged to her colleague postman Les Grant. Mr Grant said he had only had the bird for about three days before it escaped. The bird went missing in early July and was handed in to the Birdland sanctuary at the beginning of August. Julie Rogers said she and Mr Grant "have known each other for years" but it "didn't click" that he owned the bird as he had recently been off work. She said that at first she did not think the bird, which is slightly bigger than a human hand, would survive. Ms Rogers said: "I picked it up and it was petrified. My son kept it in his bedroom for two weeks and then it started calling. "I realised we couldn't keep it but I knew we couldn't release it because it wasn't an ordinary bird. My son works in the cafe at Birdland so we took it there." Mr Grant said he had been off work recovering from an operation and read about a missing quail being cared for at the sanctuary. He said: "I was pretty sure it was mine. It escaped when I was feeding it. I'd only had it a few days. "I opened the cage door to feed it and it suddenly took off. They can fly a little bit but not very far so I knew it had to be close by. "I took a bird net out in case I found it - they make a distinct high squeaky noise. I know there's a lot of cats round here so I didn't expect it to survive." Mr Grant said he had been surprised to learn that Julie Rogers had found it. He said: "It's quite ironic really as she knew I had birds. But I hadn't been at work otherwise she might have said something." He said the male bird, which is part of a pair is "perfectly all right" now, while the female is "much happier". Also known as the king quail, the Chinese painted quail is a member of the pheasant family and is a popular game bird prized for the flavour of its meat. Prof Garnaut said the country had failed to make its "fair share" of greenhouse gas cuts. Earlier, Prime Minister Tony Abbott reiterated his position that coal was the foundation of global energy needs. Australia has the world's highest carbon emissions per capita and is its second biggest coal exporter. Prof Garnaut, who teaches at the Australian National University, said progress made by the government's Direct Action policy would be undone by emissions made by companies not covered by that policy. Direct Action includes a A$2.5bn (£1.4bn; $2.2bn) fund that will be used to pay big polluters to cut emissions and use cleaner energy. "It is a bit sad. We are a drag on the international efforts [to tackle climate change]," Prof Garnaut said in an interview on ABC TV. "You could make the case [that] we were once doing our fair share, now we are not," he said. Prof Garnaut was appointed by the previous Labor government to examine the impact of climate change on the Australian economy. He said it was clear before the last election that the main political parties supported Australia's commitment to the United Nations to cut emissions unconditionally by 5% from 2000 levels by 2020 - and by a further between 15% and 25%, depending on the extent of international action. He was reacting to comments by Mr Abbott made earlier in the day that coal was the foundation of Australia's prosperity and would be so "for the foreseeable future". Mr Abbott said that if the world was serious about lifting the living standards of the poorest people, "we have to be serious about making the best use of coal". A UN-backed expert panel has warned that the unrestricted use of fossil fuels must be phased out by 2100 if the world is to avoid dangerous climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says most of the world's electricity can - and must - be produced from low-carbon sources by 2050. Last week was LAS's busiest ever with 11,008 call outs for the most seriously ill and injured. Previously help has only been asked for in circumstances such as the Olympics or the 2005 bombings, said BBC London's Karl Mercer. LAS said no help had yet been confirmed and plans would be reviewed. Malcolm Alexander, chairman of the Patients' Forum for the LAS said it was a "catastrophe". The service has more than 400 vacancies and has had problems recruiting people. Demand is up 15% on the same time last year. It is also missing response targets. It needs to get to category A calls, the most serious, in eight minutes but is getting to 80% of them in 11 minutes. In October, it received a record number of complaints - 144, compared with 43 four years ago. LAS said it contacted other ambulance services on Thursday to ask for what they call mutual aid or pre-planned aid, from other parts of England. A senior NHS source told the BBC emergency powers could be implemented by the Department of Health which would force other regions to help out if they failed to respond to initial requests. Mr Alexander said on Monday the service received 300 calls an hour, its highest level ever. He said: "It's an appalling crisis. It's up to ministers now to show some leadership. In the real world if you can't get the staff, you've got to raise the wages." He said he had witnessed a 66-year-old woman who broke her thumb falling over being told to go to an urgent care centre. He said: "It's not consistent with moral values. What if she couldn't afford a taxi? What if she had concussion?" London Mayor Boris Johnson told BBC London 94.9 he had written to the health secretary about the strain on the service. He said: "Anne Radmore [LAS chief executive] is doing a very good job but in very tough circumstances. She doesn't have the flow of young paramedics coming through. It's a failure in the training system." LAS said asking for mutual aid was "not unusual" and during the Commonwealth Games, London Ambulance Service helped colleagues in Scotland. Director of Operations Jason Killens said: "Like other parts of the NHS, we have seen significant increases in demand over the last few weeks as we enter the winter period. "Between 8 December and 14 December we attended 11,008 Category A incidents." He said staff were being offered overtime and members of the public with less serious injuries and illnesses were being urged to call NHS 111. He added the call for help was part of the service's "forward planning" and nothing had been confirmed at this stage. LAS has raised the pressure level to critical twice this year - on 13 October and 24 November when staff took strike action. Gen Pierre de Villiers said in a statement he could no longer "guarantee the durability of the army model" that he considered necessary to ensure France's protection. France's government last week revealed major cuts to bring its budget deficit below the level of an EU cap. Mr Macron had said he would not tolerate dissent from the military. In a speech at the defence ministry last week, he said: "It is not dignified to hold certain debates in the public arena." Then in an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche, he said: "If the military chief of staff and the president are opposed on something, the military chief of staff goes." But he had also said the general had his "full trust" as long as he "knows the chain of command and how it works". The pair had been scheduled to meet on Friday to try to sort out their differences. Gen de Villiers' replacement will be named on Wednesday, French media said. He will be Gen François Lecointre, Agence France-Presse reported, citing government sources. Gen de Villiers, 60, was infuriated by an €850m ($975m; £752m) cut in the military spending budget for 2017. Most was to come from cuts to equipment. France cuts billions from public purse Macronomy: What are Emmanuel Macron's economic plans? France: The economic challenge Gen de Villiers told a parliamentary committee last week that the government should not mess with him on the matter, using a far stronger expletive. The general, who was appointed head of the military in February 2014 and had his tenure extended by Mr Macron in June, had previously spoken out on budget cuts. Hugh Schofield, BBC News, Paris There are plenty of tributes being paid to the just-resigned chief of general staff Pierre de Villiers. Plenty of important people seem to be taking his side in the affair. Not many are speaking up for the president. One reason is that Emmanuel Macron had initially raised such hopes among the military. He promised a big increase in the defence budget over the next eight years. When his first act was to cut €850m for many - not just in the armed forces - that felt like a betrayal. But it is also his method. When Gen de Villiers criticised the cut last week, it was at a meeting with deputies that was supposed to be off the record. His words were leaked, through no fault of his own. But the next day President Macron publicly upbraided him for speaking out of turn. And that felt like a humiliation. Shortly after he took up his role he had threatened to walk out over cuts that were later shelved. As he announced his resignation on Wednesday, he said he believed it was his duty to tell politicians of his "reservations". Former chief of the French armed forces Henri Bentégeat told Le Monde that the president had the right to impose his authority, but added: "The way he did it will leave marks. You can't publicly question a military leader like that in front of his subordinates." Mr Macron was elected president in May, defeating the far-right candidate Marine Le Pen. President Macron wants to get the overall French budget deficit below a European Union cap of 3% of national income for 2017. As part of that effort, the government has earmarked €850m in savings in military spending for the year. New equipment orders will be delayed or cancelled and the defence ministry is also being asked to take on the €1.3bn cost of foreign operations. However, Mr Macron has also said he wants to raise defence spending in 2018 by €1.5bn to €34.2bn. Furthermore, he has pledged to lift the defence budget from 1.77% of GDP to Nato's target of 2% by 2025. That would mean a sum of €50bn - at least a further €2bn each year, unprecedented in France. It is unclear how these pledges played into Gen de Villiers' thinking, although he told MPs last week: "I know when I am being had." It follows the Rooney Rule, established in 2003, which requires NFL teams to interview at least one minority candidate for head coaching or senior football operation jobs. Jen Welter was a member of the Arizona Cardinals coaching staff in pre-season, while Kathryn Smith recently became the first full-time female coach with an NFL team when she was hired by the Buffalo Bills. At boardroom level, Katie Blackburn is the long-serving executive vice-president of the Cincinnati Bengals, while Amy Trask was the Oakland Raiders' chief executive officer from 1997 until 2013. There is also a female game official - Sarah Thomas - in the NFL. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, speaking at the league's Women's Summit in the build-up to Super Bowl 50, said: "We believe in diversity. We believe that we're better as an organisation when we have good people at the table." George Hooker told the BBC he was driving near Hamley Bridge in South Australia when smoke and flames engulfed his car. He kept filming on his phone with one hand even as the fire front raced towards him. Two people have died and 13 hospitalised in the fires burning north of Adelaide. "There were flames licking at the car, cinders and twigs blowing up against it," Mr Hooker said. "If I stopped I would have been dead so I just kept going not really thinking much at all." He eventually reached a burnt-out area further south on the Horrocks Highway and stopped his car. As he watched, a house burnt to the ground over the course of 10 minutes, he said. Having been told by police that he could drive on, he continued on his way to Adelaide. South Australia's Country Fire Service said on Thursday the fire was not yet under control and properties remained at risk. Sixteen homes have been destroyed along with cars, farm buildings and machinery. Allan Tiller, 69, has been identified as one of the fire's victims. The other, a 56-year-old woman from Hamley Bridge, has not yet been named. South Australian Premier Jay Wetherill said at a press conference that the government would provide relief grants of up to $700 Australian dollars ($505; £335) for families affected by the fires. Mr Wetherill said the damage toll was expected to rise. A High Court judge cleared Dr Waney Squier of dishonesty and said there were significant flaws in the medical tribunal's findings against her. But he added that her actions did amount to serious professional misconduct. She will not be allowed to give expert evidence in court for three years. The paediatric neuropathologist had acted as an expert witness in six cases, including the deaths of four babies and a 19-month-old child. She disputed the existence of shaken baby syndrome - brain trauma caused by violently shaking an infant - and in each case said the evidence was not consistent with non-accidental injury and was more likely to be caused by other means. Dr Squier has argued that she has been scapegoated for challenging the mainstream view. In March, a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) hearing concluded she had been dishonest, dogmatic, and misleading in her evidence in those cases. She has since been suspended from her post at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital. But in his ruling the judge, Mr Justice Mitting, found there were significant flaws in the tribunal's findings. He concluded that Dr Squier had gone beyond her expertise and also misrepresented some research, but said her views were honestly held. The doctor, who has always denied any wrongdoing, says she is pleased to be able to return to her clinical work. The General Medical Council, which brought the case against her, says the judgement confirms that this was not about the scientific debate around shaken baby cases, but about the manner in which Dr Squier had given her evidence. In a statement, it added that "the ruling makes clear that she acted irresponsibly in her role as an expert witness on several occasions". The cost of a four-hour stay at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport will increase from £6 to £8, with a short stay rising from £2.50 to £3.50 from 1 September. Stockport NHS Foundation Trust said the hike makes "savings in areas which do not affect patient services". Residents said the increase will cause further problems on nearby streets. A homeowner said: "I don't begrudge people parking here, but something needs to be done about it. "In Hazel Grove everywhere is resident-only parking, maybe they could think about doing something like that." Stockport NHS Foundation Trust has already announced plans to cut 350 full-time posts, closed a surgical ward, and axe eight trauma and orthopaedic beds to reduce costs. A spokesman said: "We fully appreciate that increasing car parking charges will always be unpopular, but it is important we are able to make vital savings in areas which do not affect patient services." Concessions have been made for patients including free parking for patients with cancer and significantly reduced rates for some patients with long-term conditions. Tommy Schaefer's partner, 19-year-old Heather Mack, was also sentenced to 10 years for helping him with the killing. The body of Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, was found stuffed inside a suitcase in the boot of a taxi at a luxury hotel in Bali last August. The presiding judge described the killing as "sadistic". Tommy Schaefer, 21, reportedly wept in court as he recounted how he hit Wiese-Mack, a wealthy American academic, with a fruit bowl during a row at a five-star resort. He said he had been defending himself after Wiese-Mack became angry on learning that her daughter was pregnant, AP reports. "The defendant's actions disturbed the public and can be considered sadistic," Judge Made Suweda said as he sentenced Schaefer. But the politeness and remorse shown by Schaefer during the trial meant he did not receive a heavier sentence, he added. A three-judge panel said they gave Heather Mack a lighter sentence because she had recently given birth to a baby. Reports say she and her mother had a troubled relationship, with police frequently called to their Chicago home. After the violent episode at the hotel, the couple hid the body inside a suitcase which they then left inside the boot of a taxi. The driver alerted the police after the pair failed to return and he discovered blood on the suitcase. The police later found them staying at another hotel in Bali. It lists bank robberies and extortion rackets taxing charcoal and cows as some of the activities of the insurgents in east of the country. The recent increase in violence was partly caused by government attempts to end racketeering by parts of the army, including the mining of precious minerals such as tin and gold. Cynics might say the government army wanted to reassert its own control over these rackets. But in any case it is clear recent events were part of a long-standing struggle by Kinshasa to establish control over the east. The legal and illegal export of precious minerals from the fabulously rich soils of eastern DR Congo is a multi-million dollar business in itself. But in the run-up to breaking away from the national army in April, rebels also resorted to blatant criminality and robbed the International Bank for Africa (BIAC) in the main eastern city of Goma - twice. On the first occasion, the UN study says, soldiers snatched $1m (£640,000), the currency of choice for well-off Congolese. The second BIAC raid netted only $50,000. But there were other heists too - at a well-known Goma hotel, the Stella Matutina, a customs office and several money transfer branches. More mundane extortion also affects ordinary people every day. Trucks carrying charcoal for cooking, for example, are "taxed" $50 at illegal roadblocks and even motorcyclists have to pay a sort of licence fee of $2 a week, the report by the UN group of experts published within the last week says. Armies: Foreign rebels: Congolese rebels: Mai Mai - term for armed community groups: Main source: UN Group of Experts, June 2012 Profile: Bosco Ntaganda the Congolese 'Terminator' This racketeering was making some officers rich, so strengthening their political and ethnic power bases. The Congolese government was most concerned by soldiers led by General Bosco Ntaganda aka "The Terminator" and Colonel Sultani Makenga - who were both in theory inside the national army - because it believed they were backed by Rwanda and so threatened Kinshasa's sovereignty over the area. The army high command signalled that these officers and their allies were to be transferred to other parts of the country. The idea was to assert central control and break up criminal networks within the army, the UN report says. But in April of this year, the report says, troops under the shared command of Gen Ntaganda and Col Makenga began deserting and setting up their own fiefdoms north of the volcano range that lies just outside Goma. The planned redeployment - which threatened the officers' money-making capacity - was one apparent reason for the mutiny. But the indictment on war crimes charges by the International Criminal Court in The Hague of Gen Ntaganda was another. He reportedly feared any moves against him would increase the possibility of him being arrested and sent to The Hague. Col Makenga himself told the New Yorker magazine that he was not backed by Rwanda and he blamed the recent fighting on the government army. He also denied he was allied to Gen Ntaganda. The UN has accused Rwanda, in some detail, of backing Col Makenga's group. Its evidence - contained in an annex to the UN group of experts report - has not yet been made public, but was leaked on Wednesday. Rwanda denies the allegation. The report reveals that the result of the mutiny was that as government army units redeployed to fight the new rebellion, other armed groups moved in to fill the vacuum created by their departure. There are at least eight main Congolese armed groups operating in eastern DR Congo, in addition to the groups that mutinied this year, and three other armed groups led mainly by foreign forces. Some of these groups have fancy acronyms indicating that they are "national" or "defence" forces. But many are in reality closer to being mere brigands and criminals. As these men with guns move around and establish new fiefdoms or rackets in the wake of the mutiny - in what the UN report calls a "fluid security landscape" - ordinary people suffer. The US campaign group Enough said "all hell has broken loose" in eastern DR Congo since government forces moved there to try to retake control after a mutiny. The number of people made homeless by the wars in eastern DR Congo has passed two million for the first time since 2009, the report says. Those affected are mainly in South Kivu province bordering Burundi and North Kivu province bordering Rwanda. "The UN experts report should ring alarm bells in Washington, London and other capitals," Enough said. "The war in eastern [DR] Congo has escalated to where it was four years ago, with spikes in attacks, sexual violence and displacement." The fire-damaged MSC Flaminia was inspected by a team of six salvage specialists and towing is expected to start on Sunday, coastguards confirmed. The ship, owned by Reederei NSB, caught fire on 14 July in the mid-Atlantic. One crew member died and one is missing presumed dead. The remaining crew was forced to abandon ship. The remaining crew of 23, five Germans, three Poles and 15 Filipinos, and two passengers were rescued unharmed. The stricken 85,823-tonne vessel was laden with a cargo of 2,876 containers, 149 being classed as dangerous goods, said the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). A spokeswoman said: "While the MSC Flaminia suffered considerable damage environmental assessments have shown no pollution. "An international independent inspection team, with representatives from the UK, France and Germany, went on board the vessel last Tuesday." Russian journalist Mikhail Voytenko earlier published the full manifest of the MSC Flaminia on the internet. He said: "MSC Flaminia is actually, a big chemical, toxic and miscellaneous dangerous substances floating bomb. "No wonder crew fled the vessel, no wonder EU States fear MSC Flaminia just short of her being a nuclear device ready to explode." The MCA responded that the inspectors "are all completely satisfied that the vessel is in a safe and stable condition to make her onward journey to Germany". Reederei NSB said in a statement that temperatures on the ship's hold had reduced to 60C. It said: "The prevention of harm to the population and the environment is the top priority during all further stages of the salvage." The journey is likely to take five days. The baby cow, named Genie, was born on Friday at a ranch in Kerrville, Texas, and even likes to stick out its tongue like the rocker. Hill Country Visitor, a tourism agency that promotes the region of Texas Hill, shared the image on Facebook, joking that Simmons could be the father. Simmons himself was delighted, tweeting: "This is real, folks!!!" The bovine doppelgänger's markings quickly drew comparisons to Simmons, who is famous for his long tongue and black-and-white face paint. Genie was born on a ranch kept by the family of Heather Taccetta, who works at a local steak house. "Obviously, we can't serve this fine specimen," Hill Country Visitor wrote. "Where were you on or about November 25, 2016?" the website posted, tagging the singer of such hits as Rock and Roll All Night and Detroit Rock City. The tourism agency also asserted that Kiss music was playing on the ranch on the day of Genie's conception. Last month, Simmons dropped his legal bid to trademark the "devil horns" hand gesture, which he claimed to have invented in November 1974. The gesture, which had also been claimed by other rockers, means "I love you" in American sign language. Steve Thomas said social care costs were expected to double over the next 15 years. But he said overall council budgets would continue to decline. Earlier this week the Welsh Government announced an extra £10m a year of new funding to help ensure the social care sector is sustainable. Much of that money will help meet the extra costs associated with the introduction of the National Living Wage. The Welsh Government, before the last assembly election, had wanted to merge councils, reducing the number from 22 to eight or nine. Ministers now want councils to become more efficient by working together in regional partnerships. Elections will be held in all of Wales' local authorities in May. Mr Thomas told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme that social care was "the elephant in the room" which new councillors would have to deal with. He said austerity "looms large" for councils and budgets would continue to decline, adding: "Authorities will struggle if the current prognosis in terms of finance continues. "There are huge pressures, not least of all on health and social care. Social care costs will double in the next 15 years. "Active consideration of either mergers of authorities or at least merger of services will be commonplace in the next period." Mr Thomas would not predict which councils would consider merging, although some authorities had previously looked at such moves. He said he sometimes wondered why people wanted to be a councillor. "It's difficult, it's thankless," he said. "People don't usually stand for office to cut services but that's what they've had to do over the past five years and that has been and is going to be their job." Social services are the second largest service within local government - it supports more than 125,000 vulnerable people and has more than 70,000 employees. The 29-year-old was given the chance to open at Lord's and made the most of it with 106 off 188 balls, with 14 fours. However, Welsh pace bowler James Harris took four wickets in two overs to reduce them from 180-2 to 183-6. It gave him figures of 4-75, but Chris Read halted the Notts slump with 62 not out before bad light ended play. However, skipper Read was unable to see his side to a third batting bonus point, while Middlesex collected a full set of bowling points. Taylor was one of three new faces in the Notts XI, having arrived on a three-year contract, joined by South Africa seam bowler Vernon Philander and former Gloucestershire all-rounder Will Gidman. And he shared a third-wicket partnership of 108 with namesake James Taylor (36) after Steven Mullaney was bowled off the inside edge by Tom Helm for 22, having previously been dropped twice off the same bowler, and Alex Hales run out without scoring. Harris then had James Taylor caught at mid-wicket and won an lbw decision against Samit Patel in the space of four balls, and then had Riki Wessels and Brendan Taylor leg before in his next in a welcome return to form after only making seven Championship appearances last summer. Clare Sherwood bought the furniture from a charity Norwich in shop. The album appears to have belonged to a couple and dates from 1937, she said. It includes holiday snaps of children taken through World War Two. After an appeal, Ms Sherwood said someone came forward to say they recognised the family. She is hoping to verify that and reunite the album. She bought the chest of drawers a year ago, but only recently pulled out one of the drawers to reveal the dark red photography album wedged behind it. More news from Norfolk The pictures include photographs of the family at various places in Norfolk including Sandringham, Caister and Hembsy. Another shows people fundraising for the war effort outside Tudor Hall in Norwich, which is now a tattoo parlour. Although the images are dated through to the mid-1940s, there are few clues other than first names of the children. One name mentioned under a photo of a mother and baby - Jean-Muriel - is dated 1938. "For us it's fascinating, and it's great local history, but I think it would be really wonderful to get this to someone who knows the people in it," Ms Sherwood said. "It's been great fun looking through the pictures and putting lives together for different people," Mr Kinghorn added, "but it'd be nice to have that moment to give it to someone who, hopefully, it means something to." They are keen to reunite the album with the family, but as it was donated anonymously to the charity shop, the couple was unsure how to proceed. After some of the photographs were shown on the BBC, Ms Sherwood said a woman had been in touch saying she recognised some of the people. She is hoping this will lead to the album - and its precious memories - being reunited with members of the family. Four other people who had been detained have been released, he added. Thirty-eight tourists were killed when a gunman opened fire on a beach. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack. Thirty of the victims were British, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said. "We can say with a high degree of confidence that is now the final death toll of British nationals killed in this incident," Mr Hammond said. Tunisia's government fears the attack will destroy its tourism industry, the country's biggest foreign currency earner. In March, two gunmen killed 22 people at the famous Bardo museum in Tunisia's capital, Tunis. Government minister Kamel Jendoubi said at a media conference that investigations had "allowed us to discover the network behind the operation in Sousse''. He did not elaborate on the identities of the suspects or their alleged role. Mr Jendoubi said 10 UK investigators were assisting with the investigation, the AFP news agency reports. He added that Tunisia has deployed 1,377 armed security agents at hotels and on beaches to guarantee the safety of people, AFP reports. Tunisian authorities have identified 28-year-old student Seifeddine Rezgui as the gunman who carried out the attack. The BBC's Rana Jawad in Tunisia says his former room-mates are among those who have been freed. Police have released photos of two suspects, Bin Abdallah and Rafkhe Talari - friends of Rezgui whom they are yet to locate. Officials believe both the Sousse and Bardo museum gunmen were trained in Libya, which has been mostly lawless since Nato-led forces overthrew long-serving ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. IS has built a significant presence in Libya, Tunisia's eastern neighbour, and is thought to control the major towns of Derna and Sirte. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has announced that all 30 Britons killed in the attack have been identified. Here's what we know so far about those who lost their lives. Some survivors have also been speaking out about their ordeal. Latest African news updates The grindcore band's gig was to feature three ceramic sound systems which could disintegrate due to the sound levels. The London museum said it dropped the event after safety inspections. The band was due to play on 22 March in the Europe Galleries - currently undergoing refurbishment. Friday's concert, called Bustleholm, was a one-off experimental collaboration between the band and artist Keith Harrison, who is a resident ceramic artist at the V&A in South Kensington. Mr Harrison created the ceramic sound systems based on the tiles used on buildings in the Bustleholm Mill estate in West Bromwich, where he grew up. Before the concert was cancelled, Napalm Death's frontman, Mark "Barney" Greenway, said he was looking forward to it. "Sound as a weapon - or a weapon of change - is a very interesting concept and I think that the whole process of our sound gradually degrading clay sculptures is captivating," he said. A spokesperson from the V&A said the concert was cancelled "with regret". "This was due to take place in the Europe Galleries which are currently being refurbished and a further safety inspection has revealed concerns that the high level of decibels generated by the performance would damage the historic fabric of the building." "The safety of our visitors and building remains our priority at all times," they added. Ravi Dixit, ranked 211 in the world, had put his kidney up for sale at 800,000 rupees (£8,230). Dixit, 23, said: "I never intended to sell my kidney. This statement was made at the spur of the moment for which I am truly sorry." Indian law forbids selling a kidney and Dixit's parents were against the idea. Dixit apologised for his comments in a letter issued through the Squash Rackets Federation of India, but insisted he still needed sponsorship to continue his career. "Together, we will figure out a way to deal with this crisis," said his father. "I funded my daughter's wedding with Ravi's winnings. Since he has to support the family as well, he cannot use much of what he gets for himself." The group set out to explore poorly documented areas of the Djenghi-Djer mountain range in southern Kyrgyzstan. Calum Nicoll, 25, Struan Chisholm, Sam Newmark, Neil Smith, who are 24, and Sandy Fowler, 23, are from Inverness, and Mark Chonofsky, 24, is from Boston. The six opted to travel through the region on horseback and made a journey of 50 miles (80km) using 10 horses. Often expeditions in the area involve travel by helicopter or 4x4 vehicles. Their expedition in July was supported Christopher Ward Challengers Programme. Isaiah Firebrace progressed despite failing to hit a high note during his performance of Don't Come Easy. Poland, Sweden and hotly tipped Portugal also made it through along with six other countries. But Montenegro's hair-twirling Slavko Kalezic exited the competition along with seven other acts. The fates of the 18 countries involved were decided by a combination of votes from national juries and viewers. Another 18 countries will take part in the second semi-final on Thursday ahead of the grand final on Saturday night. Isaiah's vocal hiccup occurred near the end of his performance of his swooning ballad, the third competing song to be heard on Tuesday. The 17-year-old indigenous Australian was one of the youngest performers on an evening that featured the usual Eurovision mix of kitsch, spectacle and questionable fashion choices. Azerbaijan's Dihaj was joined on stage by a man on a ladder wearing a horse's head, while Moldovan trio Sunstroke Project were supported by three female singers in wedding gowns. One of the warmest receptions of the night went to Portugal's Salvador Sobral, whose arrival in Ukraine this month was delayed by health problems. Among the unsuccessful semi-finalists was Montenegro's Slavko Kalezic, whose four-foot man-braid had made him a favourite with many Eurovision fans. Slovenia's Omar Naber, who represented his country the last time the contest was held in Kiev in 2005, was also sent packing. The UK's hopes this year rest on Welsh singer Lucie Jones, who will perform her ballad Never Give Up on You during Saturday's final. As one of the so-called "big five", the UK get an automatic pass through to the final along with four other countries and host nation Ukraine.

Concerns about stricter UK regulations led Europe's biggest bank to launch a review into whether to move elsewhere, with Hong Kong seen as the most likely alternative. But the bank said it had decided unanimously against the move and that London "offered the best outcome for our customers and shareholders". The decision was seen as a vote of confidence for the UK. The bank has had its headquarters in the UK since 1993 but makes most of its money overseas, and Asia accounts for the majority of its profit. Douglas Flint, the chairman of HSBC, told the Today programme: "London offered the best of both worlds for us. HSBC at its heart is a bank focused on trade and investment flows. "The UK is one of the most globally connected economies in the world with a fantastic regulatory system and legal system and immense experience in dealing with international affairs," Mr Flint said. "The government's made very clear its commitment to ensuring that that UK remains a leading international financial centre ... We've ended up with the best of both worlds - a pivot to Asia led from London." HSBC is understood to have paid about £30m to advisors to help it reach the decision to remain based in London. HSBC shares rose 1.36% in Monday's trading in London to 446.4p, but have fallen 17% this year. The bank's Kong Hong-listed shares closed 4% higher on Monday. However, analysts at Investec said HSBC's decision was "regrettable" because it faced tighter regulations and the cost of the UK bank levy. "We see HSBC's announcement as a missed opportunity," said Investec analyst Ian Gordon. HSBC had been paying £1bn a year through the UK banking levy before the government changed the tax last year. Mr Flint said "it was important that there was a change in the scope of the levy". "A levy based on an international balance sheet was a disincentive for a global group, and we made that point ever since the start of the levy. It was good to see that the scope of the levy changed to being a domestic impost, and that was important," the HSBC chairman said. However, Mr Flint denied that HSBC had forced the government's hand in changing the banking levy. "We had no negotiation with the government. The government was well aware of our view, and indeed the view of many other people who commented upon it, but there certainly was no pressure put, or negotiation." He added that the regulatory regime had "not been softened". HSBC's decision was based on "a generational view" and not on "short-term dynamics", Mr Flint said. "It [the decision to stay] was based on a very thoughtful perspective on how economics will play out over the next 20 [to] 25 years," he said. HSBC said that London had an "internationally respected regulatory framework and legal system" and added that it also was "home to a large pool of highly skilled, international talent". It was therefore "ideally positioned to be the home base for a global financial institution such as HSBC". Part of the review was considering whether the increased regulation of the banking industry in the UK - in particular the increased tax burden - warranted moving elsewhere. But in the last Budget, the Chancellor George Osborne introduced a gradual reduction in the bank levy on balance sheets - a move which particularly affected HSBC, because of its large balance sheet. In 2014 it paid £750m of the £1.9bn raised by the government through that particular tax. For HSBC itself, the decision wasn't just about the tax environment in the UK. There was also the problem of the regulatory environment in China - with the central bank causing nervousness among investors and volatility in the markets after intervening in the stock and currency markets. Poorer news about the Chinese economy also focused minds at HSBC's Canary Wharf headquarters in London's docklands. One interesting point to make about the decision is that whatever fears HSBC has about Britain possibly leaving the European Union, London's attraction as a financial capital was more significant. Which raises a challenge for those who argue that businesses could quit the UK if Britain were to leave the EU. Read Kamal in full The board added that it had also decided to end the practice of reviewing the location of the group's headquarters every three years, and would only revisit the matter if there was "a material change in circumstances". It stressed that Asia remained "at the heart of the group's strategy" and that it was putting "particular emphasis on investing further in the Pearl River Delta and ASEAN region". Hong Kong's Monetary Authority (HKMA) said it respected HSBC's decision. "The HKMA appreciates that for a large international bank such as HSBC, relocation of domicile is a very major and complicated undertaking," said Norman Chan, its chief executive. The Treasury welcomed the move. "It's a vote of confidence in the government's economic plan, and a boost to our goal of making the UK a great place to do more business with China and the rest of Asia," a spokesperson said. The CBI business lobby group also said the announcement was "good news" because strong banks were "critical for the British economy". That sentiment was echoed by the BBA, the banking industry body and TheCityUK. In line with other banks, HSBC shares have fallen sharply this year. The stock is down 18% since the start of the year and more than 30% from last April, when the review into where to base its HQ was first announced. The bank will report full-year results on Monday, 22 February. It is in the process of implementing a $5bn (£3.4bn) savings drive and cutting 8,000 jobs in the UK. Pyotr Pavlensky was sentenced to a year and four months for his February 2014 protest on a St Petersburg bridge. He will not serve it because of legal delays during the "vandalism" case. But he remains in custody because he set fire to the main doors of the FSB secret police headquarters last November. He is well known for shocking stunts. Pushing the art of protest to new limits Pavlensky sets fire to FSB front door Pavlensky was arrested in 2013 after he nailed his scrotum to a cobblestone on Moscow's Red Square. He said it was a protest against tight police controls. Then, in 2014, he and fellow activists set fire to tyres and waved a Ukrainian flag in St Petersburg, emulating the protests in Kiev's Maidan square that forced pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych to flee Ukraine. Last November he set the doors of Moscow's Lubyanka building ablaze and stood in front of the fire holding a petrol can. Notorious during Soviet-era repressions, the Lubyanka houses the Federal Security Service (FSB). He was charged with "damaging an object of cultural heritage", which could mean up to three years in prison. Pavlensky released a video of the stunt, and said in a statement: "The FSB acts using a method of uninterrupted terror and maintains power over 146 million people." "Fear turns free people into a sticky mass of uncoordinated bodies," he added. In other stunts, Pavlensky He has been repeatedly investigated for "vandalism" and "hooliganism" and psychiatrists have declared him sane. In the first case of its kind in the UK, Adam Lotun, a wheelchair user, is claiming his human rights were breached because he could not vote last year. Mr Lotun said he could get no further than the front door because of a ramp and a drop to the floor inside. Kingston Council says work is under way to ensure its polling station is fully accessible on 7 May. Mr Lotun had been attempting to vote at last year's European and local elections when he discovered he could not get into the polling station at the Sunray Community Centre in Tolworth, south-west London, despite signs stating it had disabled access. 'Excluded' He claims he asked staff to bring the ballot box to a private place outside, but they refused and he ended up not voting. "It made me feel worthless as an individual, excluded as a member of society," he told the BBC. "I was just a second class citizen - my voice did not count at all." Angry at what he feels is a breach of his human rights, Mr Lotun is now suing the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. His solicitor Chris Fry said: "The duty on every local authority is to ensure that the buildings themselves are fully accessible so that every qualified voter can cast that vote. "For there still to be issues arising like Adam's, you wonder how many disabled voters are going to be left out in the cold come the general election day this year." Of course postal voting is an option for anyone who can't get to their local polling station on election day and many disabled people find it particularly handy. I asked Adam Lotun why he chose not to use his postal vote. He explained that as someone who has only been using a wheelchair for a relatively short amount of time - a transition he found difficult - he prefers to join his wife and be part of his local community. For some disabled people, postal voting isn't always the answer as it doesn't cater for all impairments. For people with learning disabilities for example, the paperwork can be quite overwhelming. I met Jackie Venus who was part of 'Operation Disabled Vote', a battle bus that's touring London encouraging disabled people to vote. Ms Venus is visually impaired and for her, postal voting works up until the point she has to sign off her vote by putting her signature in a box. She says she then has to ask for another person to sign her name, meaning her vote isn't private. Choosing a postal vote can be a hassle-free option, but many disabled people like Adam feel it shouldn't be the only choice. Frustrating A survey carried out by disability charity Scope after the 2010 general election suggested that 67% of all polling stations were not fully accessible. Overall voter turnout was 65%, but figures suggest that among disabled people it was 33%. Currently, the Electoral Commission issues guidance to councils and returning officers on what should be in place come polling day. Andrew Scallan, the commission's director of electoral administration, admitted that it can get frustrating when he hears stories about people not being able to vote. "Local authority returning officers work day in and day out with their people - they know their area and they want to deliver a good service," he said. "But on 7 May this year, there will be 47,000 polling stations, well over 100,000 staff involved, so there is bound to be human error in all of that." Kingston Council said its polling stations will be fully accessible on polling day. A spokeswoman said: "Work is taking place to rip out the existing ramp, install a new ramp and sort out the entrance way. This should ensure the place is fully accessible to anyone else with mobility problems." She added: "When we book polling stations we ask the caretaker/key holder to confirm that they have full wheelchair access, whether we need to provide a ramp to make the venue fully accessible and to inform us ASAP after completing the booking form if there are changes to the building that could affect the use of the building." But Mr Lotun, who lives 300 yards from the polling station in Kingston, is continuing with his case in the hope that one day all local authorities will have a legal duty to make sure everyone can vote no matter what their disability. Justice Lowell Goddard was speaking as she opened the independent inquiry, which she said could last until 2020. It will examine how public bodies handled their duty of care to protect children from abuse. Justice Goddard said there were suggestions that one child out of every 20 in the UK had been sexually abused. She said many who are sexually abused as a child do not tell adults - and that if they do "their reports may go unheeded". There may also have been systematic under-recording and mis-recording of child sex abuse by the police and other agencies, she added, meaning that "the true picture may be even worse than the current figures indicate". Speaking about the scale of the problem, she said: "The need for accurate recording is one of the issues that the inquiry will have to confront." The inquiry was first announced by Home Secretary Theresa May in July 2014. It followed claims of a high-level cover-up of historical child sex abuse involving public figures, including politicians. The New Zealand High Court judge, who led an inquiry into police handling of child abuse cases in her own country, was the third person named to chair the inquiry - her two predecessors resigned over concerns about their links with the establishment. In her opening remarks, she said the task ahead was daunting, but that it could expose past failures of institutions to defend children. Justice Goddard said the sexual abuse of children "has left permanent scars not only on successive generations, has left permanent scars not only on victims themselves, but on society as a whole". But she added: "This inquiry provides a unique opportunity to expose past failures of institutions to protect children, to confront those responsible, to uncover systemic failures... and to make recommendations that will help prevent the sexual abuse and exploitation of children in the future." Justice Goddard also said it was important to emphasise that this was the largest and most ambitious public inquiry ever established in England and Wales. Despite the size of the investigation, she was "determined to ensure that it does not become bogged down in the delays that have bedevilled some other public inquiries in this jurisdiction". In July last year, Labour MP Simon Danczuk called on Leon Brittan to say what he knew about paedophile allegations passed to him when he was home secretary in the 1980s. The files were given to Lord Brittan, who died in January, by the late Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens, a long-standing campaigner against child abuse. Mr Dickens's son has said the files - now missing - contained "explosive" paedophile allegations about powerful and famous figures, including politicians. Since Mr Danczuk's comments brought the so-called "Dickens dossier" to the fore, the focus has moved to the wider issue of how historical child sex abuse allegations were dealt with by public bodies and other institutions across the country. Previously there had been calls for an overarching investigation into historical abuse claims in the wake of revelations that TV entertainer Jimmy Savile abused hundreds of victims at hospitals, children's homes and schools. Read more on the "Dickens dossier" and other ongoing inquiries The inquiry, which was given statutory powers and a new panel in February, will investigate whether "public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse in England and Wales". Justice Goddard has decided abuse victims will not sit on her advisory panel, but there will be a separate Victims and Survivors Consultative Panel. The advisory panel comprises Prof Alexis Jay of Strathclyde University, Drusilla Sharpling of the police inspectorate, Prof Malcolm Evans of Bristol University, and child protection barrister Ivor Frank. Justice Goddard said she was determined to put as much information into the public domain as she could, as soon as possible. She also referred to annual reports being published, the first of which would be next year. As she was giving her statement, the office of Attorney General Jeremy Wright QC confirmed that immunity from prosecution under the Official Secrets Act will be offered to current or former public servants prepared to testify about allegations of child sex abuse. It will not protect anyone who admits taking part in child sexual abuse. Justice Goddard ended her statement by issuing a call for anyone with information about sexual abuse cases to come forward. And she urged institutions responsible for caring for children, which may come under scrutiny, to take a "proactive stance towards the inquiry". The NSPCC said a team of trained counsellors would operate a free dedicated helpline to offer support on its behalf. Peter Wanless, the charity's chief executive, said many victims had "harrowing stories to tell", adding that the charity wanted to make "what could be a tortuous journey as easy as possible". The chairman of the Commons home affairs committee, Keith Vaz, said the inquiry, which he described as a "once in a lifetime opportunity", could last a decade. "And of course we wish [Justice Goddard] luck in the very difficult job that she's got, which could take up to ten years. I mean, this is going to be a very long inquiry." In February, it was announced Justice Goddard had been chosen to lead the inquiry because she was "as removed as possible from the organisations and institutions that might become the focus of the inquiry", Mrs May said. Baroness Butler-Sloss, the first inquiry chairwoman, resigned a week after it was set up. This followed calls for her to quit because her late brother, Sir Michael Havers, had been attorney general in the 1980s. Her replacement, the then Lord Mayor of London Fiona Woolf, stood down on 31 October amid concerns over her links to former Home Secretary Lord Brittan. William Les Anderson, who served with Bomber Command, was presented with three medals in recognition of his service. It took the D-Day veteran from Sleaford 72 years to claim them before because he thought his comrades "had done more than I did". The 93-year-old was a flight engineer on a Lancaster bomber. He said he "eventually gave in" and decided to apply for the accolades because "people were badgering me". "When I think of the people that didn't come back. I didn't apply for them because I didn't think I'd done anything special," he added. A special event was held for Mr Anderson, originally from Fife in Scotland, at the Sleaford Camaraderie Club, which he attends weekly. Samantha Halligan, project co-ordinator at the club, said the former airman was "ecstatic" to receive the medals on 1 May. "The smile was just amazing to see. His daughter said he'd never smiled like that for years, which was unbelievable to hear," she said. "Everything about him was 'I'm proud now. I've done this'. We all knew he'd done it but now we can actually see that he has." The Ministry of Defence said it receives between 200 and 300 applications a week from veterans or their relatives retrospectively seeking to claim medals. Applications are being submitted because people have either changed their minds or could not initially claim them in the first instance, it added. Colclough, 21, joined the Latics from Crewe in January and scored two goals in 10 appearances to help them win promotion to the Championship. He joins on a season-long loan while defender Hendry, also 21, has signed until January 2017. Hendry joined Wigan in September 2015 and had a loan spell at Shrewsbury Town last season. "Ryan's somebody who I tried to sign last season and has been one of our main targets for six months," Dons boss Karl Robinson told the club website. Latics manager Gary Caldwell told his club's website: "I know our players will be looked after at a good club with a good manager and we will be keeping tabs on both [of them]."

A rise in business investment also helped growth, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures showed. The ONS kept its estimate for UK economic growth at 0.6% for the second quarter, unchanged from the initial reading. "Our survey returns, which include the period leading up to and immediately following the referendum, show no sign so far of uncertainty having significantly affected investment or GDP," said ONS chief economist Joe Grice. Business investment increased by a stronger-than-expected 0.5% in the quarter having fallen in the first three months of the year. However, the UK's widening trade deficit was a drag on growth during the April-to-June period. Thomas Laskey, from Aberdeen Asset Management, said the ONS figures showed business investment was "fairly resilient" despite the uncertainty in the run-up to the referendum. "This is the number that many investors are keeping their eye on, given how sensitive it may be to Brexit. "The Bank of England significantly lowered its forecasts for business investment in the recent Inflation Report and Mark Carney has been pessimistic about the outlook." Data released since the Brexit vote in 23 June has been mixed. Some business surveys suggested there had been a sharp slowdown in activity in the immediate aftermath of the referendum, but retail sales figures for July, released last week, were stronger than expected. Many economists have predicted a marked slowdown in the UK economy following the referendum. Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said that while he still had "serious concerns over the UK growth outlook, we are a little less pessimistic than we were in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote". However, he added that it was "likely to be some considerable time before the economy again expands anything like 0.6% quarter-on-quarter". "We suspect that the UK's vote to leave the European Union in the 23 June referendum will increasingly weigh down on UK economic activity over the coming months." Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY Item Club, said that "an uncertainty-driven slowdown still seems likely". However, he added: "With a number of recent surveys from the CBI and others showing bouncebacks from post-vote lows, strong official retail sales numbers for July, and the support offered by the package of measures announced by the Bank of England, predictions that the economy will fall into recession look unduly pessimistic." Annette McKenzie wants the law changed to prevent under-18s being prescribed medication without parental consent. She said the current system was "letting young people down". She found out her daughter Britney Mazzoncini had been prescribed Propanol by her GP after she died of an overdose of the tablets in July last year. Ms McKenzie has lodged a petition at the Scottish Parliament. Speaking at the Public Petitions Committee, she said her campaign was not a "witch-hunt" against the doctor who treated her daughter. "When this happened with Britney, yes I was devastated, I was broken, but it also let me find a fault in the system where it is letting young people down," she said. Britney, from Glasgow, suffered from depression and anxiety and was having suicidal impulses. She was prescribed a month's supply of the drug by her doctor last June. Sixteen days later, she took an overdose. Ms McKenzie said she had been unaware of the prescription and had mistaken side-effects, such as tiredness, as her daughter being lazy. She explained to MSPs: "My daughter didn't understand at 16 years old the severity and strength of the medication she was given. "She went to the doctor that day to ask for help. She didn't go expecting to be given pills." She added: "I know a lot of people have concerns that my petition in particular will discourage young people from going to seek help from their doctor. "To say that a child won't go to the doctor to ask for help, I don't believe that, because a child at that age isn't going to a doctor to ask for pills, they are going to speak out, to be asked to be helped." GPs do not need to seek parental consent to prescribe medication if the young person is deemed to be able to understand the nature of the treatment and potential consequences of the treatment. Ms McKenzie said the strength and effect of some mental health medications made it important that parents and guardians were "fully involved and aware of the circumstances, allowing them to support treatment" and safeguard their children by taking control of pills and dispensing them as required. "We're not just talking about my daughter being 16 here, we are talking about there being no age of consent," she said. "If they deem you to be wise enough, they will send you away with medication." The committee agreed to contact the Scottish government, the Scottish Association for Mental Health, the General Medical Council and a range of other relevant organisations. She told the BBC that Labour must do its job of holding the government to account while avoiding "scapegoating". She was speaking after ex-chancellor Alistair Darling became the latest figure to attack the party's direction under former leader Ed Miliband. He said the party had "no economic strategy" and had failed to defend its record in government properly. Ed Miliband stood down on Friday after Labour failed to regain power, ending up with 26 fewer seats than in 2010. On Sunday, Liz Kendall became the first candidate to confirm she was entering the race to succeed him and others - including potentially Chuka Umunna, Tristram Hunt, Andy Burnham and Yvette Cooper - are expected to enter the fray in the coming days. However, both Dan Jarvis and David Lammy have ruled themselves out of the contest. In other Labour news: Harriet Harman said the party had suffered a "very bad" defeat and she had commissioned research into its performance in different parts of the countries so the post-mortem could "be based on the actual facts rather than anecdotes". Ms Harman, who will address members of the Parliamentary Labour Party later at its first meeting since the election, urged the party to pull together and refrain from recriminations. In recent days, leading Blairites such as Lord Hutton and Lord Mandelson have questioned the party's direction under Mr Miliband, suggesting he had made a "terrible mistake" in moving away from the territory occupied by Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. But Ms Harman said the party should not "jump to conclusions" about why it had done so badly. "We have to have a proper analysis rather than scapegoating and 'blame gaming'," she told BBC Breakfast. "It is my responsibility to make sure we have a debate which is illuminated by the facts rathern than people just grinding axes". She added: "At the same time we need to be electing a new leader and we are doing that under new rules because Ed Miliband changed the rules." While she was temporary leader, Ms Harman said she would make sure the government was held to account for the "whole load of promises" it had made during the election campaign. "We are not going to go away and let them do whatever they want. It is a very important role". Labour election rules MPs wishing to stand as leader and deputy leader have to be nominated by 15% of their colleagues in the Parliamentary Labour Party to be eligible to stand. As Labour now has 232 MPs, this means prospective candidates must get at least 35 signatures. Under rules agreed last year, all Labour Party members, registered supporters and affiliated supporters - including union members - will be allowed a maximum of one vote each on a one member, one vote system. When the election is held, they will be asked to rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate gets 50% of all votes cast, the votes will be added up and the candidate with the fewest votes eliminated. Their second preference votes will then be redistributed until one candidate has 50% of all votes cast. Who's in the running to replace Ed Miliband? Mr Darling, who did not contest the election, suggested that Labour was in a worse position than when it lost the 1992 election. "We did not have an economic policy," he told the BBC. "We didn't repudiate the criticisms the Tories were making of when we were in government. "They were occasions when we almost said we didn't do any good in 13 years, which is absolute rubbish. "You've got to have confidence about what you did in the past just as the courage to admit where you got things wrong - but we just didn't look compelling and convincing." Mr Darling said he favoured a long leadership contest so the party could determine not only who would take it forward but what it should be arguing for against a majority Tory government. "An awful lot of people being talked about now were only elected five years ago and you've got to see where they stand." Mr Jarvis, who served in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan before resigning his commission and entering politics in 2011, had been touted as a possible leadership contenders by some of his fellow MPs. However, in an article for the Times, he confirmed he would not be putting his name forward. "I'm ready to serve in that rebuilding process as part of the Labour team. But I can't do that as leader at this moment," he wrote. Mr Jarvis, whose first wife died in 2010 and who has a young family, said it was "not the right time" for him or them. "My eldest kids had a very tough time when they lost their mum and I don't want them to lose their dad. I need some space for them, my wife and our youngest child right now, and I wouldn't have it as Leader of the Opposition." But he said Labour, had to "move out of the comfort zone of critiquing the Tories" and offer an alternative. Labour, he suggested, had to reconnect with the public, pointing out that, excluding London, "more people have walked on the moon than the number of Labour MPs elected across the South West, South East and East of England". He also said Labour was facing increasing challenges in its traditional northern heartlands. "Labour began this Parliament leading the debate about devolving power away from Westminster. It ended it having allowed George Osborne to steal our clothing with talk of a Northern Powerhouse." A penalty try and a score by full-back Mayu Shimizu helped underdogs Japan to a shock 14-0 half-time lead. Two touchdowns by replacement Paula Fitzpatrick and one from Alison Miller saw Ireland bounce back, with Nora Stapleton kicking nine points. Ireland's game against France will decide the group winners on Thursday. The hosts had edged Australia 19-17 in their opening pool match on Thursday, while France secured a bonus point as they thrashed Japan 72-14. Coach Tom Tierney made seven changes to the Irish line-up in the hope of keeping many of his players fresh for the pivotal game against France in Dublin. That match will decide who comes out on top of the group after the French hammered Australia 48-0 in their second fixture on Sunday night. Ireland are aiming to at least emulate their feat of three years ago when they managed to reach the semi-finals, before losing to eventual winners England, but only the three group winners and the best performing runners-up will make the last four. With their side lying nine places above Japan in the world rankings and having seen off their opponents twice in warm-up games in June, Ireland supporters arrived at the UCD Bowl expecting their side to rack up as big a score as possible in preparation for the expected pool-winning shoot-out with France. However, Japan dominated possession and territory in the first half as Ireland were outplayed in every facet of the game and were forced into a series of basic handling errors. Full-back Mairead Coyne was fortunate to escape a yellow card for a high tackle before Japan were rewarded for their superiority with a 27th-minute try. Referee Ian Tempest awarded a penalty try after the hosts were penalised for collapsing the scrum following a drive by the Japanese forwards from a five-metre scrum. Shimizu wrong-footed the Irish defence and dived over three minutes before the interval, then added the extra points to increase her side's advantage. Ireland's woes were compounded soon after the resumption when Katie Fitzhenry paid the price for repeated Irish high tackles by receiving a yellow card. Despite being a player down, the momentum soon swung in favour of Ireland, inspired by their hard-working forwards. Winger Miller went over in the 45th minute, with Stapleton converting to half their side's deficit, then Fitzpatrick dotted down after Ireland set up a rolling maul from a lineout, the hosts' fly-half again kicking the additional points. Spurred on by a vociferous home crowd, Ireland began to pile on the pressure in search of victory and after putting together 19 phases of play, Japan were punished for an infringement by a Stapleton penalty. Fitzpatrick ploughed over from close range for her second in the final play of the game, with Stapleton's conversion ensuring a 10-point winning margin for the resilient but relieved Irish. "The courage that we showed on Wednesday to beat Australia came through again. We showed resilience and managed to get the result," said Ireland captain Claire Molloy. "We have a lot to work on. We were very unhappy with our handling and with the breakdown so we need to fix that."

It happened at about 13:15 on Monday and involved a white Vauxhall Corsa, blue Nissan Qashqai and a blue Subaru. Five people - four from Dumfries and one from Edinburgh - were taken to Dumfries Infirmary for treatment. The Corsa driver - a 19-year-old man from Dumfries - was later transferred to Glasgow Royal Infirmary with a head injury and damaged right hand. The driver and passenger in the Subaru - both from Galston - did not require hospital treatment. Police have appealed for any witnesses to the incident to contact them. The 20-year-old American scored 16 goals in 33 appearances for Reading's Under-23 side last season. He made his first-team debut for the Royals against Watford in March 2015 and has had a spell on loan at Cheltenham Town. Telstar finished 16th in the Dutch second tier last season.

A Sportscotland Avalanche Information Service forecaster said two snowsports enthusiasts had also put themselves at risk on the Munro. Like the other pair, he said they appeared unaware of the hazard. In February on Creag Meagaidh, an avalanche of a scale big enough to bury a car was recorded. Warm weather at the weekend and this week has raised the risk of more slides on the mountain, SAIS has said. The SAIS forecaster first spotted the two split boarders in Coire Chriochairein and then other two men in the Inner Coire on Tuesday. In a blog, the forecaster said both groups had been at risk of a collapse of large overhanging areas of snow known as cornices. He said of the split boarders: "I genuinely believe these two guys weren't aware of the cornice hazard. It's too nice a day for bad things to happen." On the other pair the forecaster said: "Different demographic, same deal. "Passed two young guys - one in shorts, deck shoes and a hoody (I kid you not…), the other better clad but with denims on - working their way up to have an up-close-and-personal look at the very large pile of very recent cornice debris in the Inner Coire." He said the good weather, ease of access to the Munro from a car park and the Easter holidays had drawn "un-mountain savvy tourists" to the hills. In the run up to the Easter weekend, the Mountaineering Council of Scotland sent out a strongly worded message urging people without the appropriate equipment and knowledge of winter conditions to stay away from Scotland's highest mountains. The snow slide at Coire Ardair near Creag Meagaidh in February was described as "a full depth size three event". Avalanches are measured on an international scale of one to five. Size five slides are big enough to destroy a village or large forest. SAIS said a size three slide at the location was uncommon. The following month the largest avalanche recorded by the service so far this season was discovered in the Southern Cairngorms. A member of staff at Glenshee Ski Centre alerted SAIS to the slide on Glas Tulaichean, a 3,448ft (1,051m) Munro. SAIS Southern Cairngorms said the full depth avalanche was filled with mud, rocks and large blocks of snow. David Payne followed a career-best 67 not out with a four-wicket haul to dismiss Glamorgan for 232. The visitors needed just 90 to win and got home inside 20 overs. Aneurin Donald, 19, became the youngest Glamorgan batsman to 1,000 first-class runs in a season early in his innings. He beat the landmark set by Matthew Maynard, who was to become club captain and an England batsman, at the age of 20 in 1986. But only Will Bragg with 52 provided any lengthy and patient resistance as Glamorgan wickets fell regularly. Payne was well backed up by the accurate Josh Shaw and Matt Taylor, while spinner Jack Taylor weighed in with three wickets. A stand of 58 for the last wicket between Mark Wallace (39 not out) and Michael Hogan (30) was the highest of the innings, after acting captain Hogan claimed his first five-wicket haul of the season in the morning session. But the target of 90 proved easy for Gareth Roderick and Chris Dent, as the visitors notched up their fourth win of the campaign, leaving Glamorgan without a 2016 Championship success in Cardiff. Glamorgan coach Robert Croft told BBC Wales Sport: "We let ourselves down badly in the first innings, on that pitch which was green and damp to start, to get bowled out for 220 with some pretty slack batting after we got to 130 for 3 was not ideal. "We had a couple of chances the second morning and didn't take them, it cost us, then in the third innings the pitch was flat, we played some slack shots and it cost us. "The only entertainment I want is winning entertainment. "But we've had a lot of young players this year who are learning the game, we've got a number of senior players out (Jacques Rudolph, Colin Ingram and Chris Cooke), and that's telling." Gloucestershire coach Richard Dawson told BBC Radio Bristol: "We had a lot of people contributing, David Payne had an exceptional game with bat and ball, Hamish Marshall with his hundred. "The pleasing thing and something we talked about last week, once we got on top in the game, was to make sure we take advantage. "We played simple cricket, I thought we played the conditions very well and we've put pressure on the opposition with bat and ball and got the result. "It's all about getting ready on match-day at this time of year, it's not a case of training, so we'll try and get up again against Northants." Stockpiles stand at a record three billion, the IEA said in its monthly report. The report has added to falls on European stock markets, with the FTSE 100 shedding close to 1% on Friday. Frankfurt and Paris also declined following sharp falls in Asian stock markets, with Hong Kong sliding 2.2%. Investors also reacted to disappointing eurozone growth figures and a slump in commodity prices on the back of weaker demand from China. Other factors affecting confidence include fears that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next month and poor corporate results from heavyweights including Rolls-Royce and E.On this week. The FTSE 100 was down 0.98% at close of trading after closing down 1.9% on Thursday, while Frankfurt's Dax fell 0.7% and the Cac in Paris shed 1%. There were no risers on the French market, with aerospace and defence company Safran topping the fallers with a near 6% slide. Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda trading group, said: "The market was primed for some form of correction following a good five weeks for investors." Growth in the 19-nation eurozone slowed to 0.3% in the third quarter, official figures indicated on Friday, with Germany slowing as France returned to expansion. "Slower eurozone GDP growth... will intensify already strong belief that the ECB will deliver more stimulus at its December policy meeting," said Howard Archer, chief European economist at IHS Global Insight. Oil prices have more than halved in the past 18 months as US shale oil output and a refusal by nations in the OPEC cartel to cut production added to oversupply. On Friday, Brent crude was down 36 cents, or nearly 1%, at $43.68 a barrel, and US crude was down $1.20, or 2.8%, at $40.55. Although lower oil prices will lead to a decline in US production next year, the IEA said it would take months to clear the glut. "This massive cushion has inflated even as the global oil market adjusts to $50 per barrel. Demand growth has risen to a five-year high of nearly two million barrels per day," the agency said. "Gains in demand have been outpaced by vigorous production from OPEC and resilient non-OPEC supply." Growth in global demand for oil is expected to fall in 2016 as the allure of lower prices fades, the IEA added. At least five other soldiers were injured in the battle in Aurangabad district late on Monday. Maoist rebels have carved out strongholds in a number of states in the north, east and centre of India. They say they are fighting for communist rule and greater rights for tribal people and the rural poor. Three rebels were also killed in Monday night's gunfight in the Dumrinala area, nearly 170km (105 miles) south of Patna, the capital of Bihar, police officer PK Sahu told the Associated Press news agency, The police said the rebels used improvised explosive devices and fired at the soldiers when the latter were conducting anti-rebel operations in the area. India's Maoist insurgency began in West Bengal state in the late 1960s and has been called the country's "greatest internal security challenge". The Maoists control large areas of several states in a "red corridor" stretching from the north-east to central India. The three-part adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's novel stars former Downton Abbey star Jessica Brown Findlay. Some viewers said they had to use subtitles to understand the "mumbling". Comedian Al Murray wrote on Twitter: "Find out what happens next in Jamaica Inn by getting your ears syringed!" Actor John Challis, who is best known for playing Boycie in Only Fools And Horses, wrote: "Jamaica Inn LOOKS very good but I haven't heard a single word...Either the actors are mumbling or the sound track is faulty." The BBC later apologised to viewers, claiming the "issues with the sound levels" could not be altered while the drama was on air. "We are adjusting the dialogue levels in episode two and three to address audience concerns so they can enjoy the rest of the drama and would like to apologise to those viewers who were affected," said a statement, ahead of Tuesday's second instalment. Those complaining that they had "trouble hearing" included choreographer and former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips. The drama's own screenplay writer Emma Frost was also quick to react, blaming a technical fault. "No surprises here - I'm told there was a major sound problem for tonight's broadcast of Jamaica Inn - not surprised you couldn't hear it," wrote Frost on Twitter. "It sounded like listening through mud... Complaints were relentless - quite rightly. None of (the) production team know what happened with the TX (transmission) sound. It was fine before." Many viewers also took to the BBC's online message board to complain, with some revealing they had resorted to subtitles and another claiming: "Watched the first half of this and gave up." "The mumbling was the worst I have heard in a TV drama but it does seem to be very fashionable," added one viewer, echoing BBC director general Tony Hall's comments on "muttering actors" last year. "I don't want to sound like a grumpy old man, but I also think muttering is something we could have a look at," said Lord Hall last July. "Actors muttering can be testing - you find you have missed a line... you have to remember that you have an audience." Jamaica Inn is set in 1821 against the windswept Cornish moors and was directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, whose credits include Call The Midwife. The drama follows Mary Yellan (Brown Findlay) who is forced to live with her aunt and domineering uncle following the death of her mother. The sale included brochures, art work and gift shop souvenirs collected by a man who "fell in love with Dismaland". The "bemusement park" in Weston-super-Mare attracted thousands of visitors when it opened last summer. Auctioneer Andrew Stowe said the sale in Bristol "massively exceeded expectations" and there had been "interest from across the world". "It's a lovely collection... it's memorabilia for every pocket," he said. The auction raised £10,190 and the seller has said he will donate part of the proceeds to a Bristol homeless charity. Fred Panton, along with his brother Harold, set up the East Kirkby Aviation Heritage Centre as a tribute to their brother who was killed World War II. His family said Fred, 82, passed away suddenly on Sunday and had been working up until the end of his life. The centre has been trying to restore its Lancaster bomber to airworthy condition to make it one of only three still capable of flying. Fred and Harold spent more than 25 years establishing the centre near Spilsby as a living memorial to their brother Chris who was killed on a bombing raid. Just Jane, the Lancaster which forms its centrepiece, was bought after it was spotted for sale in a newspaper. A renewed appeal to get it flying was launched last year and during last month's commemorations for the Dambusters raid, Fred had said he hoped to see Just Jane in the air by the end of the year. In a statement his family said: "Very few people have shown the drive and determination in life that Fred has to achieve his aims in creating a memorial to his brother, Chris, and remembering Bomber Command. "As a family we are incredibly proud of what he has done and we will make it our lives work to continue his." In January, a British judge ruled three teenagers and a 26-year-old man could immediately come to the UK to live with relatives already in the country. The Home Office appealed, arguing all refugees should apply for asylum in the first EU member state they reach. The refugees, who are already in the UK, will not face deportation. However, campaigners say the ruling will have further implications for other refugee children. The case concerned three 16-year-olds - who because of their age were considered children - and a 26-year-old who suffers from a serious mental illness, and is a brother of one of the three teenagers. All four had fled the Syrian civil war, saying they had witnessed traumatic events including bombings and death, while two were detained and tortured by the Syrian government. Under EU rules - known as Dublin III - asylum-seekers must claim asylum in the first country they reach. Those who have a relative living legally in another European country do have a legal entitlement to then apply to seek asylum there, but only if they have already been processed by the first country. None of the four Syrians has been able to make effective asylum claims in France - but they all have adult brothers who are legally settled in the UK as recognised refugees. In January, lawyers for the four successfully argued they should be allowed to enter the UK and apply for asylum here, rather than being forced to remain in France in the hope that its government would eventually consider their case. However, three Court of Appeal judges have now said bypassing the Dublin III Regulation "can only be justified in an especially compelling case". Handing down their judgement, judges Lord Justice Moore-Bick, Lord Justice Longmore and Lord Justice Beatson ruled in favour of the Home Office appeal. Since the original ruling back in January some 50 refugees have been able to come to the UK. One of them is Omar - not his real name - who told the BBC's legal correspondent, Clive Coleman, about how he wanted to be reunited with his sister. "This is the reason that I tried to come to the UK on lorries or trains, and every night tried to pass the dangerous border - because of my sister," he said. The Bishop of Barking, Peter Hill, a spokesman for Citizens UK - which helped to bring the initial case - called on the Home Office to establish a "functional system" for identifying refugee children with potential claims to family reunification in the UK. He said relying on volunteers and lawyers to identify refugee children and then processing claims "child by child" was "inefficient, costly to the taxpayer, and hugely stressful for the children". "We know of two boys who have died in the last 12 months trying to reach their families in the UK," he added. "The government has a legal and a moral responsibility to ensure that refugee children who have close family members in the UK are granted safe passage." George Gabriel, a campaigner with Citizens UK, warned the ruling will make reuniting refugee children with their families in Britain harder. He said the system in Britain had been "better" since the January judgement - saying 50 children had been brought to Britain since the case. But speaking after the Court of Appeal ruling, he said: "We fear this means many will take the situation into their own hands, choosing between people traffickers on the one hand and train tracks on the other." Yasmine (not her real name) looks nervous. She's biting her nails and checks her mobile phone constantly. "I consider this to be deception and I'm really worried," she says. We're on the fourth floor of a private clinic in Tunis - the gynaecology service. Around us in the pink waiting room, other women wait patiently to be seen. Yasmine confides in me that she is having a hymenoplasty, a short procedure that promises to reconstruct her virginity surgically. Her wedding is due to take place in two months' time and the 28-year-old is worried that her husband will find out she is not a virgin. She has come here to turn back the clock but is concerned that at some point in the future the truth may come out. "I might one day inadvertently betray myself in a conversation with my husband," she says. "Or my husband may have... suspicions." There have been some reports of young women here being divorced shortly after marrying because their husbands suspected they were not virgins. Yasmine was born into a liberal family and spent many years living abroad. She fears her fiancé will cancel their wedding if he knows the truth about her sexual history. "I had an affair once with a man," she says. "At that time, I couldn't imagine how huge the pressure was in my society and what the consequences could be. "So now I am afraid. If I reveal this to my fiancé, I'm quite sure our wedding will be cancelled." Yasmine will now have to pay almost $400 (£310) for the procedure, which will take about 30 minutes. She has been saving up the money for several months, keeping it secret from her family and her fiancé. The doctor who will carry out the procedure for Yasmine is a gynaecologist, whom we will call Rachid. He does two hymenoplasties a week, on average. Rachid says 99% of his patients are motivated by the fear that they might otherwise bring shame to their family and relatives. Many, like Yasmine, are seeking to disguise the fact that they are not virgins. But hymens can tear for other reasons too, such as tampon use, leaving women worried that they may be accused, falsely, of having had sex before marriage. "Gynaecologists do hymen repair. This is nothing exceptional," Rachid says. "But here some doctors refuse to do it. I personally do it because I disagree with those who make virginity a sort of sacred thing. "It really annoys me. This is a manifestation of a male-dominated society covered up in some religious principles. I mean it when I say it's male dominance and I'll continue to wage an all-out war against it." Tunisia is regarded as a leader in women's rights in North Africa but religion and tradition here dictate that young women have to remain virgins until they are married. There is also provision in Tunisian law for divorce in cases where women are discovered not to be virgins. Sociologist Samia Elloumi says: "In this Tunisian society, which is an open society, we are becoming hypocritical. "There is a sort of predominant social conservatism which is hard to justify because we claim to live in a modern society. But there's not much modernity when it comes to women's sexuality and freedom." At a public university, I meet Hichem. The 29-year-old student is getting married next year. I ask him if he cares whether his fiancée is a virgin. "For me it's very, very important," he says. "If I find out that she's not a virgin after the wedding, I'll never trust her again. I'll consider it a betrayal. And I don't believe in hymenoplasty operations. I don't think it works." Sitting next to him is Radhouam, another student. He says that Tunisian tradition is too harsh on women. "For me, this is pure hypocrisy," he says. "Young men can freely have sex before marriage, so why do we blame young girls when they do so?" The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the building in al-Mansoura was being used as a shelter for displaced people when it was hit on Monday night. The activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently said the fate of 50 families who were there was unknown. Both groups believe the raid was carried out by US-led coalition jets. The coalition said it had no indications that an air strike hit civilians but that it would investigate the reports of casualties, the Associated Press reported. The coalition acknowledged that there were 19 strikes near Raqqa on Monday, including three that destroyed IS "headquarters", and another 18 strikes on Tuesday. Unravelling the Syrian puzzle Inside 'Islamic State': A Raqqa diary Islamic State group: The full story The coalition is supporting an offensive by an alliance of Syrian Kurdish and Arab fighters aimed at capturing Raqqa, the de facto capital of the IS "caliphate". As part of an operation to isolate the city, US helicopters airlifted Arab members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) behind IS lines on Wednesday in an attempt to take the Tabqa dam, about 45km (28 miles) to the west, the Pentagon said. The Syrian Observatory, which is based in the UK, said one of its activists had witnessed 33 bodies being pulled out of the rubble of the al-Badiya school in al-Mansoura, about 26km (16 miles) west of Raqqa. Two other people were found alive before IS militants arrived and told bystanders to leave, it added. Residents of the village told the Syrian Observatory that displaced families from Raqqa, Homs and Aleppo provinces were living in the school. Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently reported that the school was completely levelled by the strike, and that the 50 families who were sheltering there were still unaccounted for on Wednesday morning. The anti-IS group also reported that 20 civilians had been killed by coalition air strikes on the town of Tabqa on Tuesday. The Syrian Observatory said the al-Mansoura air strike meant at least 116 civilians, including 18 children and 23 women, had been killed in suspected coalition air strikes in the past two weeks. Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently put the civilian death toll at 101, but did not appear to include any of those feared dead in al-Mansoura. Earlier this month, the coalition said its air strikes in Syria and Iraq had unintentionally killed at least 220 civilians since August 2014. However, human rights groups believe the true figure is likely far higher. Airwars, an organisation that tracks allegations of civilian deaths, reports that at least 2,590 civilians are likely to have died. Syrian government and Russian aircraft also carry out strikes in Raqqa province. Later on Wednesday, new US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson opened the first meeting of the entire 68-member coalition since December 2014. Mr Tillerson said the Trump administration was determined to "demolish and destroy" what he called a "barbaric terrorist organisation". Elsewhere in Syria on Wednesday, rebels and allied jihadists continued two surprise offensives inside the capital, Damascus, and north of the city of Hama. George Chicken, 76, died at Rose Court Lodge in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in November 2012. Embrace All Ltd pleaded guilty to failing to ensure residents were not exposed to risks to health and safety. Manager Amanda Dean of Ambergate, Derbyshire, pleaded guilty to failing to take reasonable care of persons affected by her work. Nottingham Crown Court heard Mr Chicken, who had severe dementia, wandered through a first floor fire escape door in November 2012. Mr Chicken, who had undergone hip and knee replacements, was confused, anxious and unsteady. The court was also told he was known to wander around the home and had previously pushed open fire exit doors to get out. His daughter Valerie Clowes said outside court: "To think all it would have taken to save my dad's life was a £5 thumb screw for the door he went thorough or a £20 child gate on his bedroom door." He died in hospital 48 hours after his fall. Two other charges against Dean were dropped. The defendants will be sentenced in September. Labour's deputy leader has published evidence on his Facebook page he claims show a hard left group is targeting young supporters of Mr Corbyn. "I'm not making this stuff up, as others have claimed," says Mr Watson. Labour leader Mr Corbyn in an interview with the Observer said Mr Watson's claims were not credible. "I just ask Tom to do the maths - 300,000 people have joined the Labour party. "At no stage in anyone's most vivid imagination are there 300,000 sectarian extremists at large in the country who have suddenly descended on the Labour Party," Mr Corbyn said. But on Sunday night Mr Watson said in a statement: "I know Jeremy is very busy on the campaign trail and is therefore relying on others to tell him what I have said. "To repeat again, I have never said that all our new members are Trotskyists. "I have never claimed that hundreds of thousands of new joiners are revolutionary socialists and those who claim I did are attacking a straw man. "I simply want to ensure that organisations like the Alliance for Workers Liberty, who have instructed all their members to join the Labour Party and target our youth sections for recruitment, are dealt with under our rules. "It's undeniable that this is happening. AWL even published these instructions on their website." He claims a small group of AWL activists are attempting to infiltrate the party to indoctrinate young members in "revolutionary socialist ideas". Owen Smith, who is challenging Mr Corbyn for the Labour leadership, has steered clear of the row. But Labour's former acting leader Dame Margaret Beckett claimed some of the party's new members did not have its best interests at heart. "In principle everyone should be happy that more people are wanting to join the party, as long as it is the Labour Party they're wanting to join. "We have had examples of people saying 'I want to join the Labour Party because of Jeremy but of course if he ceases to be the leader I shall leave'. "Those are not members of the Labour Party, those are members of a fan club." She added: "It's perfectly nice and legitimate thing to be a member of a fan club and they may get a great deal of satisfaction from it but that doesn't mean you belong to the Labour Party and I'll be sorry to think that vast numbers of those people in fact do not really want to be in the Labour Party, they just want to support Jeremy." The leadership contest between Mr Corbyn and rival Owen Smith could split the party, she warned, adding: "Some of the people around Jeremy, (it has) unfortunately become clear in recent weeks, are perfectly happy for that to happen." The Ibrox side lost 4-1 to Hearts on Wednesday evening - their second defeat at Tynecastle this season. They have also lost away to Celtic and Aberdeen as well as drawing with St Johnstone in Perth but have beaten Motherwell at Fir Park. "I don't think there is a problem with big games," said manager Warburton. "I don't see it as a big problem. "We went to Aberdeen and I felt dominated and [we] should have won the game. Media playback is not supported on this device "We have gone to all these various other venues, Inverness, Partick, Dundee, Motherwell, we have won games of football very convincingly. "The Parkhead game [September's 5-1 defeat by Celtic] was well documented. Hearts, we had two bad performances, it's as simple as that. "Are we worried about going to those grounds? Not at all, absolutely not." Rangers' fifth league defeat of the season left them 25 points behind Celtic but still two ahead of Aberdeen, who have a game in hand. And Warburton's side continue their league campaign at home to Ross County on Saturday, with the previous meetings of the sides this season ending in draws. Last term, the Ibrox side won the Championship but lost all of their away games against both Falkirk and Hibernian, who finished second and third in the second tier. "Whether you play the top of the table or the bottom of the table, it's three points," Warburton added. "You don't get five for beating someone and two for beating someone else. "So the fact we are sitting second in the table tells you we are doing some things okay. We have to improve, of course we do, but the fact is the team is growing and we are learning." The policy in question is whether cabinet ministers should be free to campaign for Britain to leave the European Union if David Cameron eventually decides we should stay. Downing Street might reasonably argue that since the referendum could be two years away - it is promised by the end of 2017 - it doesn't need to make a decision now. If that is the belief in the prime minister's circle, it is naive. Mr Cameron's renegotiation is expected to be completed in time for the next meeting of the European Council (the heads of government) in February. As soon as that is done, cabinet ministers will come under tremendous pressure to say what they think of the deal. The first expression of lukewarm support from one of David Cameron's colleagues risks quickly being interpreted as a leadership crisis. Mr Cameron's advisers may see that as exactly the reason why cabinet ministers should not be allowed to campaign on the opposite side from the prime minister - it keeps them in line. Yet, as Lord Howard observed when we spoke for The World This Weekend: "This is going to be a difficult time for the Conservative Party. "It has always been a very divisive issue, not just in the Conservative Party but in other parties as well." This is one issue on which an appeal to loyalty could fail; and if it did, Mr Cameron would look vulnerable. The precedent is Harold Wilson's decision to allow his cabinet ministers to debate on both sides of the referendum on whether to remain in what was then the European Economic Community in 1975. Wilson had tried and failed to impose a party line on Europe when the House of Commons debated joining in the first place. That led to a big rebellion by pro-Europeans and the resignation of Labour's deputy leader Roy Jenkins. David Cameron may think that his general election victory against the odds entitles him to demand obedience from his ministers. John Major was an election winner, too, but that didn't stop him experiencing the humiliation of serving ministers openly defying him during the 1997 election campaign. A clutch of junior ministers made personal pledges never to join the euro even though Major's policy was negotiate first and decide later. Lord Howard does impose a caveat on his proposal for cabinet ministers to enjoy freedom of conscience; it should apply only "when it comes to the campaign", he told me, and not before. That was Wilson's rule, too. He informed the cabinet of his decision nearly six months before the referendum was held. One for trivia buffs: there is an older precedent for cabinet ministers expressing contrary views. According to Wilson's authorised biographer Philip Ziegler, Michael Foot told the prime minister that in 1932, the National Government, of which his father Isaac was a member, had allowed cabinet ministers to follow their own line over import duties. That was a multi-party coalition; holding a single-party cabinet together ought to be easier, but David Cameron might be wiser not to take the risk.

Q&A: What Britain wants from Europe Guide to the UK's planned in-out EU referendum BBC News EU referendum special report The dismissal of Mike Rice from Rutgers University in New Jersey was effective immediately, a college spokesman said. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and NBA star LeBron James were among those who condemned the coach's conduct. Mr Rice apologised on Wednesday, saying there was no excuse for his actions captured on video. He was recruited in 2010 to be head basketball coach at Rutgers, which finished last season near the bottom of their league, the prestigious Big East Conference. "I've let so many people down: my players, my administration, Rutgers University, the fans," Mr Rice told ABC News in an interview outside his home on Wednesday. "My family [are] sitting in their house just huddled around because of the fact that their father was an embarrassment to them." Featuring clips shot between 2010-12, the video aired on sports network ESPN shows Mr Rice shouting obscenities, hurling balls at team members, as well as kicking and grabbing them. Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti reportedly viewed the footage late last year. The university then suspended Mr Rice for three games, fined him $75,000 (£50,000) and ordered him to attend anger management classes. On Wednesday, Rutgers President Robert Barchi said in a statement on the university website: "Coach Rice's abusive language and actions are deeply offensive and egregiously violate the university's core values." Mr Barchi added that the video revealed a "chronic and pervasive pattern of disturbing behaviour", which led to his dismissal. The decision to fire Mr Rice comes amid mounting pressure at both state and national level for the university to take action. Gov Christie said in a statement that he was "deeply disturbed" by the footage. "This was a regrettable episode for the university, but I completely support the decision to remove Coach Rice," he said. New Jersey Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver said the coach's conduct was "unbecoming of our state". She called for an investigation into why Rutgers decided not to fire Mr Rice when it first became aware of the video. One of the most famous basketball players in the US, the Miami Heat forward LeBron James, tweeted: "If my son played for Rutgers or a coach like that he would have some real explaining to do and I'm still gone whoop on him afterwards! C'mon.'' Athletic director Mr Pernetti apologised for not taking more robust action when the footage first came to his attention. "I am responsible for the decision to attempt a rehabilitation of Coach Rice," he said in a written statement. Saying that Rutgers had considered firing him at the time, Mr Pernetti added: "I thought it was in the best interest of everyone to rehabilitate, but I was wrong." Since the first major appeal in 1980, more than £840m has been raised to help children in the UK. Pyjama parties, leg waxing and carwash karaoke were among the many fundraisers which took place across Wales on Friday to raise money for this year's event. By 22:45 GMT, more than £2.6m had been raised in Wales. The annual telethon started at 19:30 on BBC One with live broadcasts from Swansea. Schools and offices across Wales took part in fundraising activities. Pudsey the Bear even joined in for some work experience with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service crews at Barry fire station on Thursday. The charity aims for every child in the UK to have a safe, happy and secure childhood to help them reach their potential. BBC Wales' live broadcast of Children in Need came from Swansea University's Great Hall. BBC Radio Wales presenter and Welsh tenor Wynne Evans hosted a night of entertainment and fundraising and was set to perform along with Baby Queens, Tenors of Rock, and Jodi Bird. Children in Need support youngsters affected by: Jemma Wray, national head for Wales, BBC Children in Need, said: "We are delighted to be in Swansea for this year's appeal show. "BBC Children in Need supports a range of projects in the Swansea area that are helping to change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people. "We are always overjoyed by the support we receive from the Welsh public and hope this year is no different!" The Trainwreck star will appear first at the Edinburgh Playhouse on 30 August, as part of a European tour. She will then play Manchester Apollo on 3 September and London's O2 Arena the following night. The 35-year-old tweeted news of the eight-city tour, which also includes a date in Dublin on 26 August, saying: "I'm going abroad!" Tickets for the UK dates go on sale on 10 June. The comic has won a number of awards for her TV series, Inside Amy Schumer, including an Emmy for best variety sketch series and Critics' Choice award for best actress in a comedy series. She will next be seen on the big screen in drama Thank You For Your Service, looking at how post traumatic stress disorder affects soldiers returning home from war, due for release later this year. She is also currently working on an untitled mother-daughter comedy alongside Goldie Hawn. The plants were discovered after Mersey Fire and Rescue Service was alerted to a blaze at a terraced house on Oakfield Road, Anfield, at 09:30 GMT on Monday. About 350 plants and equipment filled three rooms and the loft of the property, which is believed to have been uninhabited. Merseyside Police said the fire may have been caused by a make-shift system of heating and lighting in the house. Crews discovered the blaze on the landing area. A search revealed electricity had been taken by bridging the meter in the property. A utility company was called to make the house safe. Police are trying to trace those responsible for the cannabis farm. Sgt Angie Norstrom said cannabis farms are "a huge fire hazard due to the dangerous and illegal way that the electricity supply is tampered with". "Criminal gangs use lots of small properties such as flats or terraced houses to spread their risk... putting those residents and business owners at risk," she added. Signs of a cannabis farm include: The deal would make Cosco the world's third biggest shipping company, with more than 400 vessels. And it would be the latest in a wave of mergers, which has left the top six shipping lines controlling almost two thirds of the market. Overcapacity and slowing demand is leading to major changes in the shipping industry. Korean shipping giant Hanjin filed for bankruptcy last year, while France's CMA CGM bought Singapore's Neptune Orient Lines. OOIL's subsidiary OOCL is currently the world's seventh largest shipping line, with 3.2% of global market share, according to shipping database Alphaliner. Cosco is offering $10.07 per share, a 38% premium over OOIL's closing price on Friday. The family of Hong Kong's first Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa founded OOIL, and still holds a 69% stake in the company. They have accepted the offer, but it still needs the approval of Cosco shareholders, as well as US and Chinese regulators. He was 42-year-old Mark Hems from Aberdeen. Emergency services had been called to the fire in Nellfield Place at about 20:00 on 24 December. Mr Hems was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary but later died. A police spokesman said inquiries into the cause of the fire were ongoing. The event, which is part of a four-night celebration, will be hosted by Ant and Dec on 15 in May on the private grounds of Windsor Castle. Previously announced performers include Kylie Minogue, Andrea Bocelli, Katherine Jenkins and Jess Glynne. Ant and Dec said they were "honoured to be hosting the special celebration". "This spectacular evening will bring together some of the best known names in the entertainment world who will perform with 900 horses and 1,500 participants to mark this very special birthday", they said. Dame Shirley, 79, has sung before the monarch on several occasions including for the Royal Variety Performance and during The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace in 2012. Take That star Barlow, 45, was chosen to compose the Queen's official Diamond Jubilee single, Sing, with Andrew Lloyd Webber. He performed the song with the Military Wives at The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert. The celebration will tell the story of the Queen's life, from her birth in 1926 to her coronation in 1953, and the whole of her reign. The event will be broadcast by ITV on 15 May. Following their 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Republic of Ireland, in Dublin, Georgia are winless after two matches in Group D. Weiss admitted the match at the Cardiff City Stadium could be the final hope for his side. "This maybe the last chance to do it, to dream. This is very true," said Weiss. ''I hope we can take points from any team. We have quality, but we must show it, score goals and play with balance between attack and defence.'' Georgia will be without captain Jaba Kankave while defender Solomon Kverkveliya will play with protective head gear after an injury in the Ireland game. Wales lead Group D on goal difference from Serbia, Austria and Ireland, who are all on four points. Georgia, who lost despite encouraging showings against Austria and Ireland, are pointless and have only Moldova below them on goal difference. Defender Zourab Tsiskaridze backed his coach and he too has been heartened by the form of his side. ''You open up the papers in Dublin and you could see the disappointment," said Tsiskaridze. "Actually it said in big letters - ''Big Escape'' - that was the headline because we dominated that game, its a shame we did not get a point. ''We deserved three. It was the same thing with Austria, maybe not as fantastic a game, but we had three or four chances, but we were not able to capitalise on those chances.'' In the absence of injured Joe Allen and Aaron Ramsey, Georgia say they will attempt to plan for the presence of Gareth Bale as they look to build on their record of having won all three previous encounters with Wales. Tsiskaridze added: ''He has unbelievable quality. With the coach we will make some plan toward that, but it will be an honour to play against him if it happens.'' Every night between December 1 to 24 a different resident of Arcot Street, Penarth, will light up their Christmas-themed window display. Rosslyn Offord came up with the idea as a way of uniting the community and getting to know new people. Her husband's blog documenting the project has attracted views from 90 different countries in just five days. After hearing about a living advent calendar in the Yorkshire town of Saltaire, Ms Offord, 42, decided she could use the idea to do something nice for her community. She later enlisted the help of her son, Osian, nine, who set about making leaflets to encourage neighbours to take part. "In the past year, the country has been a bit divided, people in groups, not mixing and we thought, 'what's something nice that we could do together to get us talking to people in the street?'" she said. "Christmas is a time when you think about peace and hope and we thought his could be an idea people might like and it's a way of talking to people you wouldn't normally talk to. Especially since Brexit." The duo signed up their last participant a few weeks ago and have received positive feedback from local people and those further afield. "People have been really enthusiastic, obviously not everyone can do it but even people that haven't have said it's a lovely idea and quite a few people have even thanked me for it." Ms Offord's husband, Nick Beynon, 43, set up his blog to document the project and display pictures of the windows, which has had more than 1,200 views since Tuesday from countries including Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Australia. "We are just amazed because we only put it [the blog information] through the doors of the people in the street so how are there 1,200 visitors from all over the world?" Ms Offord added. Those who are taking part in the advent calendar have been asked to keep their lights on until 24 December. The incident happened on the Templepatrick Road near Doagh in County Antrim on Friday afternoon. Two men, aged 27 and 36, have been charged with possession of a Class A drug and possession of a Class A Drug with intent to supply. They are due to appear at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Saturday. All charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service. However, no weapons were found in or near the plot at Brandwood End Cemetery in Kings Heath. West Midlands Police said it had received "credible evidence" that firearms were near the grave. A spokesman stressed the coffin remained untouched throughout, the family of the deceased were informed and no machines were used. The intelligence had been corroborated by a scan of the ground before the search was made, the spokesman said. The grave is thought to have been that of a stabbing victim who died several years ago. It was examined while the cemetery was closed on May 27, police said. "West Midlands Police obtained a licence from the Ministry of Justice earlier this year to excavate a grave plot in Birmingham," a spokesman said. "The excavation happened in private, behind a screen, while the cemetery was closed and the team carried out the search with the utmost sensitivity and respect. "We suspected potential weapons were just a couple of feet below the surface of the ground and it's our duty to ensure they don't end up in the wrong hands." Those on welfare will feel the squeeze especially, as payment rates are frozen for the second year in succession, and the generosity of some benefits are reduced. However, those in work are likely to become better off, as tax rates become more generous, and the National Living Wage also rises. Some of these changes will occur on 1 April, at the start of the government's financial year, while others occur on 6 April, the start of the tax year. From 6 April the personal allowance - the annual amount you can earn before paying tax - rises from £11,000 to £11,500. This should save over 20 million people £100 a year, and take thousands out of tax altogether. At the same time the starting point for paying the higher, or 40%, rate of tax will move from £43,000 to £45,000. This will save higher rate taxpayers a further £400 a year. However, in Scotland the higher rate threshold has been frozen at £43,000, so better-off taxpayers north of the border will see no benefit. Millions of people over the age of 25 will receive a 4% pay rise from 1 April, as the National Living Wage (NLW) increases from £7.20 an hour to £7.50. However, those between the ages of 21 and 24, who receive the National Minimum Wage (NMW), will get a rise of only 1.4% - well below the current 2.3% CPI inflation rate. The new wage rates are: Savers can apply to open a new Lifetime Isa (Lisa) from 6 April. The government will add a 25% bonus to your savings after a year, up to a maximum of £1,000. The Lisa is designed for people who want to buy a property, or need a retirement income. Anyone nearing the age of 40 is advised to consider opening a Lisa soon, as those over that age cannot start an account. More details about the Lisa here. The allowance for saving into an ordinary Individual Savings Account (Isa) goes up from £15,250 to £20,000 from 6 April. The money can be invested in a cash Isa, or in stocks and shares. There is no tax to pay on income from an Isa, or on any capital gain. Anyone buying a new car from 1 April will pay a different rate of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). This is because car emissions have got so much cleaner that most of them would no longer qualify for VED at all. New buyers will pay a special rate in the first year, depending on engine emissions, followed by a fixed rate in one of three categories thereafter: zero emission, standard or premium. The standard rate will be £140. Luxury cars, costing more than £40,000 will pay an extra £310. Rates for existing car owners will not change. VED: Small car buyers face higher costs Inheritance tax will become less onerous for people who want to leave property to their children. Currently, any estate worth more than £325,000 carries a tax liability of 40% on anything above that threshold. But from 6 April there will be a new transferable main residence allowance on property within the estate, enabling individuals to pass on an extra £100,000 tax free. Couples who are married, or in a civil partnership, will now be able to pass on £850,000 in total without paying tax, an amount that will rise to £1m by 2021. How does inheritance tax work? People living in England will see the steepest rise in council tax. From 1 April the rise will average 4%, equating to £61 for a typical Band D property. The rise will be smaller in district councils, which do not have responsibility for social care, and up to 4.99% in those that do. In Scotland the average rise is 3%, equating to about £32 for a Band D property. Council taxpayers in Wales will see a rise of 3.1% on average, equal to about £35 a year on a Band D property. Rate-payers in Northern Ireland have still not been told what their bill will be, due to political issues. From 6 April there will be cuts to future child tax credits. Where a first child is born after this date, claimants will no longer receive the family element of the payment, worth £545 a year. Those whose first child was born before 6 April will see no change. In addition, those who have a third or subsequent child after this date will no longer receive a payment for that child - limiting future tax credits to two children only. The same will apply to people claiming universal credit. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) calculates that as a result of this change alone, 600,000 three-child families will on average be £2,500 worse off than under the old system. But in practice no existing parent, and no existing claimant, will actually lose money. From Monday 3 April new claimants for the Work Related Activity Group (WRAG) of ESA will receive £29 a week less than existing claimants. These are people whom the government judges may be capable of working at some stage in the future. They will receive £73 instead of £102, to bring them into line with claimants for Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA). The IFS has estimated that half a million future claimants will receive £1,400 a year less than current claimants. April 2017 sees the start of the second year in which many state benefits will be frozen. This includes JSA, ESA, child benefit and some housing benefit payments. Given that CPI inflation is currently running at 2.3%, this will amount to a real terms cut for tens of millions of people. The freeze is due to last until March 2020. From 10 April, those people who claim universal credit (UC) will be allowed to keep more of what they earn from a job before their benefits are reduced. Previously those in work were allowed to keep 35p out of every pound they earned, before their UC payment was cut. Now they will be allowed to keep 37p in every pound. This is as a result of the so-called taper rate being reduced from 65% to 63%. The cost of an NHS prescription in England rises on 1 April from £8.40 to £8.60. However the cost of pre-payment cards has been frozen. Dental charges in England are also rising. The cost of a check-up will go up by 90p to £20.60, the cost of a filling goes up by £2.40 to £56.30, and the most complex work will go up by £10 to £244.30. From 1 April, four million consumers who use pre-payment meters for their gas and electricity will see their charges capped. The regulator, Ofgem, says they should each save around £80 a year. However, on average they were paying £220 more than other consumers, so they will still be paying a higher charge than others. Water and sewerage bills will go up on 1 April. The average rise in England and Wales is 2%, making a typical annual bill £395. In Scotland the rise will be 1.6%, or around £5 per household. Residents of Northern Ireland pay for water through their rates bills. Some energy bills will rise significantly. SSE customers on standard tariffs will see electricity prices rise by 14.9% on 28 April. E.On will increase electricity prices by 13.8%, and gas prices by 3.8%, on 26 April. Most other suppliers increased their prices in March. Several telecoms companies, including BT, EE and Vodafone are putting up prices. The cost of BT broadband, for example, will go up by £2.50 a month. On 1 April the cost of a TV licence goes up by £1.50, to £147. Needing five to win, Morgan, 30, launched Ben Hilfenhaus down the ground as Thunder chased down Stars' 166-8. It was Morgan's final act before joining England in India for the one-day international series this month. His knock of 71 off 50 balls keeps the defending champions' hopes alive after their first win of this year's event. Former England international Kevin Pietersen earlier hit 60 off 37 balls before his dismissal sparked a late collapse for the Stars. The hosts slipped to 85-4 in response before Morgan combined with Australia international Pat Cummins in a partnership of 83 to see his side home with no further loss. Thunder beat Stars in last season's final, but have struggled so far this year, losing their first four games. England take on India in a three-match ODI series starting in Pune on 15 January, with a three-match T20 series to follow. A fight broke out as officers tried to search a bag belonging to a 17-year-old at the restaurant in Birmingham, at about 23:30 BST on Wednesday. West Midlands Police said the gun was found in the bag, along with six bullets at the branch on Bishopsgate Street. Two knives and suspected Class B drugs were found in a search of the group. More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country The seven, who are all male and aged between 15 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm. Det Ch Insp Sam Ridding, from the force's serious and organised crime unit, said: "It is shocking to think that this group of young men were enjoying a meal in a family restaurant while holding a loaded gun." A spokesman for Nando's said they are helping the police with their enquiries. Police from the Organised Crime Unit are investigating the incident, which happened on 30 July. The customers affected have a Premier Account with Lloyds, which comes with emergency home insurance. The stolen device contained details of their names, addresses, account numbers and sort codes. It is described as being the same size as an old-style video recorder, so is perfectly portable. It was taken from a data room belonging to Royal Sun Alliance (RSA) insurance, which provided the home cover. The theft only affects customers who opened their accounts between 2006 and 2012, and who subsequently made a claim on the insurance policy. "We recognise this should never have happened and apologise to all customers who have been impacted," said a spokesperson for RSA. However RSA said there was no evidence that it was stolen by fraudsters, and so far it is thought that no one has had their account compromised. Nevertheless customers are being advised to take out identity protection, as an extra layer of security. RSA said it would fully refund the £20 fee for two years cover. Lloyds said RSA was the insurance cover provider for "a small number" of Premier Account holders, and said it had contacted all the customers affected. Anyone concerned can call a freephone number 0800 316 8090. Further advice is available on the RSA website. Mr Farron said she would "retain her independence" and aim to make education in Wales "markedly better" then in the rest of the UK. Ms Williams's appointment is subject to a vote of Welsh Lib Dem members at a special conference on Saturday. She has said she is not taking party support on the matter for granted. The AM for Brecon and Radnorshire, who boosted her majority over the Conservatives at the assembly election to more than 8,000, was named by First Minister Carwyn Jones on Thursday as part of an eight-member cabinet. Speaking on BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme on Friday, Mr Farron said Ms Williams's cabinet role would be "great news for education in Wales". "Kirsty has that great strength of somebody with great experience of education, the mother of three children who are in Welsh state schools, and somebody who's very committed to making a difference." Mr Farron said he was "very impressed" with the "hard achievements" the Liberal Democrats would get out of the agreement with Labour. "But my aim is, and Kirsty's aim will be, that education in Wales will be markedly better than anywhere else in the United Kingdom because of Kirsty and the Liberal Democrats' involvement in this administration." Asked if she was confident of getting her party's support, the former Welsh Lib Dem leader said: "I never take anything for granted in politics. "The great thing about being a member of the Welsh Liberal Democrats [is that] it's not up to individuals to make these choices. "Every single member of our party will have an opportunity to have their say and have a vote on this decision." Ms Williams denied her appointment would effectively mean her party ceased to exist in the assembly. "It exists with a cabinet minister, hopefully subject to the party agreement, being able to implement Welsh Liberal Democrat policies and influencing the agenda," she said. "That's a lot stronger than being a single assembly member on a backbench." Ms Williams said she would never leave her party, and did not think Labour, Plaid and the Welsh Liberal Democrats should merge or have a formal relationship. "There are different traditions and political strands that are represented by each of the parties. "What is important is that we look to work where we can together and recognise that the way in which politics happens in Wales is changing. "It isn't about one single party driving home their manifesto without due reference to other voices." The deal between Ms Williams and Labour agrees a list of nine common priorities which include pledges from the Welsh Lib Dem election manifesto, such as: It also calls for the upcoming recommendations of the Diamond Review into student finance to be considered "with a view to early implementation where appropriate" but with no "negative effect" on the higher education budget. The Lib Dem tuition fee policy at the election was to end tuition fee support grants that students currently get. The party proposed to replace it with a student living support grant funded by the other grant's withdrawal - but this is not written into the agreement. Ms Williams was the only opposition AM to back Mr Jones in the first deadlocked vote for first minister - despite Plaid Cymru, the Conservatives and UKIP supporting Plaid leader Leanne Wood. Mr Jones was later reinstated after he came to an agreement with Plaid Cymru - although no members of that party were appointed to his cabinet. Plaid Cymru AM Adam Price said it is unlikely all the policies in the agreement between Ms Williams and Welsh Labour will get support of parties outside the government. He said on Twitter: "Important to note these policies will need opposition support to be implemented. Unlikely that all will succeed." The senior Plaid figure also questioned the Lib Dems' pledge in the agreement to reduce infant class sizes to 25. He said that "most evidence suggests you need to reduce to 15 to have any real effect. Reducing to 25 is costly but ineffective". Meanwhile UKIP group leader Neil Hamilton said Ms Williams should resign her seat and seek a fresh mandate in a by-election. He said: "When UKIP's Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless left their old parties, they did the honourable thing and went back to their electors at a by-election to seek a new mandate to represent them. "Kirsty is now duty bound to support Labour 100% over this five-year assembly term. "I call on her to take the same honourable course and seek a fresh mandate from her constituents because, in all but name, she has now become a Labour AM." As a result, Northern Ireland will receive an extra £1bn during the next two years as part of the deal, but what could prevent the Stormont parties setting up a power-sharing executive to spend the money? The most obvious sticking point is Sinn Féin's previous stipulation that it won't share power with DUP leader Arlene Foster until an inquiry into her controversial and expensive RHI Renewable Heating Incentive (RHI) scheme is concluded. That inquiry is expected to take more than a year. But after her election success and this week's deal, Mrs Foster's position within the DUP appears impregnable. Sinn Féin must budge on their previous "red line" for a deal to be concluded. During the spring Assembly election Mrs Foster vowed this would not happen "on her watch", before describing Sinn Féin as a "crocodile". Either the DUP must drop this apparent red line or Sinn Féin must accept a wider form of legislation - a so-called hybrid model which would also cover Ulster Scots. Gerry Adams has previously hinted there could be a deal without resolving differences over Northern Ireland's troubled past, but it wouldn't be a strong deal. Republicans will be dubious about a section in the DUP-Conservative agreement which said there should be no unfair focus on former soldiers and police officers. However, the wording is loose, so perhaps they can live with it. Under the Foster-May agreement, the DUP is committed to backing the Conservatives on any Brexit-related legislation. Sinn Féin still backs "special status" for Northern Ireland - effectively preserving many aspects of EU membership. So will Sinn Féin willingly take the DUP deal cash or conclude that it is inadequate compensation for the damage they believe Brexit will do to Ireland, north and south? No-one is expecting the DUP to drop its opposition to same-sex marriage. Nor will the DUP or other Stormont parties suddenly decide to implement the 1967 Abortion Act in Northern Ireland. But some argue that if the Stormont Assembly procedures are altered to exclude the use of cross-community vetoes on such moral or social issues, this could pave the way for movement. However, is the DUP in a mood to curtail the veto power, which it can no longer wield without the backing of other Unionists? We have been at it a long time - discussing how Stormont might be put together again since January when the late Martin McGuinness resigned as deputy first minister. You could argue that the Stormont parties have had more than enough time to resolve their differences. But Sinn Féin and some of the other parties have pointed out that for most of the past three weeks the government, which set Thursday's deadline, has side-tracked one of the main talks participants, namely the DUP, into another set of talks primarily focussed on Westminster's stability, not Stormont. So you could get some participants believing the secretary of state should stop the clock. However, if he does the credibility of NIO talks deadlines, already pretty low, would take another plunge. An unnamed official told the Associated Press that gunfire broke out after a car tried to ram the gate to the sprawling military campus near Washington DC. Officials told the AP that the men inside the car were dressed as women. Aerial footage showed a police vehicle and another car with extensive damage. The incident began shortly after 9:00 local time (14:00 GMT) when at least two people attempted to drive the vehicle into the National Security Agency section of the Fort Meade facility, according to a statement released by the Army base's public affairs office. "We do not believe it is related to terrorism," FBI Baltimore spokeswoman Amy Thoreson told the BBC. FBI investigators have been dispatched to the scene, where they are interviewing witnesses. Fuller details are not immediately available, and multiple requests for information sent to the NSA have not yet been returned. Calls to the NSA were answered, but no information was provided. Calls to spokespersons for the Army were not picked up. President Barack Obama has been briefed on the incident, according to White House officials. Helicopter footage showed two cars - one a police vehicle and the other a black vehicle with no insignia - in a junction that had been roped off near the security gates leading to the NSA. The cars appeared to have collided and debris was strewn across the intersection. A white cloth appeared to cover something beside the black vehicle. The large Fort Meade campus, located about 30 minutes outside of Washington, is home to about 40,000 military and civilian personnel, plus many members of employees' family. The facility houses the US Cyber Command, the US Defense Information School, in addition to the NSA. The NSA is a clandestine intelligence agency, charged with collecting and analysing electronic signals for US intelligence and counterintelligence purposes. The agency rose to prominence after Edward Snowden leaked thousands of the agency's documents in the Spring of 2013. Local emergency responders say that the NSA police force is handling the incident, and local agencies are providing support. Early this month the FBI arrested a man for firing shots that damaged the building from a nearby highway. Sarah Wollaston was among Tory MPs to face the wrath of David Cameron's strategy chief Lynton Crosby at a meeting of backbenchers on Tuesday. The Australian spin doctor told the MPs they had to decide whether they were "commentators or participants". Mrs Wollaston said she felt "uncomfortable" about his remarks. "I think it's important that if you are a backbench MP you're there to be a critical friend and to scrutinise government policy," she told the BBC News website. "To send out a message that says as a backbench MP you are a 'participant not a commentator,' I'm very uncomfortable with that message. I don't think that's the right message to send out." The Totnes MP, who was selected in an open primary, said she considered herself a "Cameron loyalist" who believed talk of leadership challenges should end. But she said she did not get into politics to be "lobby fodder" and reserved the right to comment on policy, or the party leadership, when she felt it was warranted. "I think that my job as a backbench MP is to be able to commentate, on behalf of my constituents, on important issues of the day and sometimes, of course, that will be uncomfortable for the executive." One recent Tweet quoted in the press, saw Mrs Wollaston writing: "Inner circle still look far too posh, male and white and Cameron is running out of time to fix it". She said she was "making a valid point about how the public view us and whether or not we need to make the cabinet sound more like modern Britain". She said it was "ironic" that Mr Crosby's plea for party unity was leaked to the media before Tuesday evening's meeting. Other Tory MPs to have criticised the party leadership on Twitter include Michael Fabricant, who accused it of sending "mixed messages" over immigration and Peter Bone, who said it was "wrong" to commit 0.7% of state spending to foreign aid. Mr Crosby, who masterminded London Mayor Boris Johnson's re-election and Michael Howard's election campaign in 2005 - urged Tory MPs at Tuesday evening's meeting to focus on selling the party's message and stop airing divisions on social media. They were also told to stress that the next election would be a choice between having Mr Cameron or Ed Miliband in Downing Street. Labour Vice Chairman Michael Dugher said: "Things are so bad for Cameron that he is reduced to gagging his own backbench MPs on Twitter because he is fearful they will tell it how it is. "This is a weak and increasingly out of touch prime minister desperately trying to stop his divided party imploding."

The 26-year-old made 30 Super League appearances in 2016, scoring six tries. The former Wakefield, Widnes Vikings, Hull FC and Leeds Rhinos player will now stay with the Tigers until the end of the 2019 season. Chief executive Steve Gill told BBC Radio Leeds: "I've always liked him and I couldn't understand why Leeds let him go. He's been a revelation for us." Colum Martin, from Motherwell, was caught with three of the smoke grenades during a search outside St Johnstone's McDiarmid Park last season. He was banned from attending any SPFL match prior to being sentenced at Perth Sheriff Court on 3 August. Martin admitted possessing controlled items on 13 December last year. A second charge of possessing cocaine at Perth police station on the same date was dropped by prosecutors. Depute fiscal Tina Dickie told the court: "The St Johnstone v Celtic match was due to take place at McDiarmid Park. "Security staff were standing outside the turnstiles. "They stopped the accused as he was about to enter because they suspected he was in possession of some kind of controlled item. "From his coat pocket was recovered a small black container, a smoke grenade. "Police were called over and they found a further two inside his coat pocket." Sheriff Fiona Tait continued the case for reports and the bail condition preventing Martin attending any SPFL match was also kept in place. Father Paul Moore, 81, who worked in Ayrshire, is also accused of abusing a student priest in the 1990s. He is accused of committing offences on boys aged between five or six and 13 at various locations, including at a primary school and Irvine beach. At the High Court in Glasgow, he denied all the charges. Fr Moore is due to go on trial in December. Osinachi Ebere had a penalty saved and headed the rebound against the bar and after the break Udochukwu Anumudu also struck a shot against the bar. On 56 minutes Victor Osimhen scored his 10th goal of the finals - a new record. Three minutes later Funsho Bamgboye added a second and ensured Nigeria became only the second country to defend the title. Nigeria coach Emmanuel Amuneke told Fifa.com: "We have worked very hard for this success and we hope to continue. "The players will go home now but their journey is not over yet. I have football in my blood, as a player and as a coach. This is what I want to pass to my players." Olly Woodburn's score inside 70 seconds put Exeter ahead, but tries from Will Hurrell, Jason Woodward and Gavin Henson helped Bristol go 14 points up. Geoff Parling and Ian Whitten tries for Exeter helped restore parity. Waldrom grabbed his brace either side of Mitch Eadie's effort, which ensured two crucial bonus points for Bristol. If not for Waldrom's ninth try of the season three minutes from the end, Bristol would have moved to within five points of second-from-bottom Worcester. As it is, they remain eight points adrift of safety, but the losing and four-try bonus points on their trip to second-placed Exeter will give them renewed hope of staying up even though games against league leaders Wasps and defending champions Saracens are still to come. The hard-fought victory against a plucky Bristol side inspired by former Wales international Henson, who finished with 19 points, moves Exeter equal on points with Wasps at the summit, and with Bath beating Leicester earlier in the day, they are assured of a top-four finish. Exeter Chiefs boss Rob Baxter: "You must give Bristol credit as they snatched every chance they had. "It was a tough old game and while there were excellent individual performances from Thomas Waldrom, Luke Cowan-Dickie and Olly Woodburn, we weren't collectively at our best. "I felt the last two games (Sale and Bristol) have been no-win games for us and we need an exciting game to challenge us. "Next Friday we are at Harlequins live on TV and hopefully that will bring the best out of us." Bristol interim head coach Mark Tainton: "We were minutes away from a famous victory, as the players put in a hell of a shift and our defence was magnificent. "When they scored an early try, it looked it could be a long afternoon but I'm frustrated that we didn't get the win. "It's getting more and more difficult to avoid relegation but the boys aren't going to give in and we are hoping for a big crowd at Ashton Gate next Sunday against Wasps." Exeter: Dollman; Nowell, Whitten, Devoto, Woodburn; Slade, Maunder; Moon, Cowan-Dickie, Williams; Lees, Hill; Dennis, Armand (capt), Waldrom. Replacements: Yeandle, Rimmer, Holmes, Parling, Ewers, Townsend, Steenson, Campagnaro.

Jones, 29, collapsed by the side of the pitch six minutes into the game at London Skolars and was later pronounced dead of a suspected cardiac arrest. Fans at the Keighley ground gave applause on the sixth minute of the Cougars' home game against Coventry. Jones' shirt number six has been retired by the Keighley club. His widow Lizzie went on to the pitch before the game when balloons in the West Yorkshire club's colours were released. Writing in the match day programme she said: "I'm so happy my wonderful Danny finished his days playing the sport he adored, at a club he treasured with lads he thought the world of. "Danny was the best daddy and husband in the whole world; he made us smile every single day. "I want everyone to remember his passion and commitment and, most of all, his contagious, infectious smile. "I will bring his beautiful babies up to make him proud. The legacy he has left will last forever. I could not be any prouder of my beautiful man." Keighley chairman Gary Fawcett hopes a fund set up for Jones' family will eventually top £1m. Donations for Danny Jones's widow, Lizzie, and their five-month-old twins has already passed £70,000. "Anthony showed heart and went big. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. When he decides to turn pro, he will be a great pro. He has the size to be the next world champion." Joshua, 22, was unlucky to be trailing by three points going into the final round against the defending champion. But needing a grandstand finish, Joshua came on strong down the stretch. The judges scored the fight 18-18 with Joshua winning on countback. The Italians appealed against the decision but were ultimately unsuccessful. "There are no easy fights in these Olympics," said the Briton. "I have pulled it out of the bag and my heart is pumping with adrenaline. "The third round is always a good round for me. Again and again, the crowd have come out." He added: "That medal represents my journey and the support from my team. It is much more than a gold medal, it is a life experience." Joshua's display puts a golden cap on Britain's best performance in an Olympic boxing tournament since 1920. Britain won six medals at the Antwerp Games but only two of them were gold. Woomen's flyweight Nicola Adams and bantamweight Luke Campbell also won gold, welterweight Fred Evans won silver and middleweight Anthony Ogogo bagged a bronze. Great Britain also won five medals in 1956, but the tally in Melbourne was two golds, one silver and two bronzes. Dick McTaggart, who claimed lightweight gold in 1956, was in the ExCeL audience to witness Joshua's feat. Also in the crowd were former Olympic super-heavyweight champions Audley Harrison and Lennox Lewis, although Lewis won his gold for Canada, as well as Wladimir Klitschko, who claimed the super-heavyweight title for Ukraine in 1996. Joshua got his jab working early and also landed with some sniping left hooks in the opening round, but undid much of his good work by getting caught in the corner in the final seconds, allowing the Italian to nick it 6-5. Joshua was still landing with ramrod jabs in the second and stiffened his veteran rival with a juddering left hook, but the awkward Cammarelle was landing with shots of his own and took the round 7-5. With Joshua chasing the fight, it looked like Cammarelle might make the most of his openings in the final three minutes, but Joshua could not miss in the last two-thirds of the round, as the ExCeL crowd lost all inhibitions. Joshua's rise is an extraordinary tale. He has been boxing for four years and only took up the sport after being dragged to a gym by his cousin. Joshua was scheduled to fight Cammarelle in a tournament in early 2011, but was told afterwards by his trainers he would have been pulled had the meeting panned out, owing to his relative inexperience. Eight months later, Joshua beat the 32-year-old Italian police officer at the World Championships in Baku before securing silver. Englishman Ling, 33, beat Czech David Kostelecky 13-9 in an assured display to secure his first Olympic medal. The Taunton farmer finished joint fourth in the semi-final, leading to a shoot-off with Egypt's Ahmed Kamar.

Often described as India's greatest contemporary architect, Mr Correa's eye-catching buildings helped define its post-independence architecture. Mr Correa was known for his wide-ranging design work, from cultural and civic monuments to modest housing developments. His influence and style has spread far beyond the subcontinent. Among his recent last works were Toronto's Ismaili Centre and the Brain Science Centre at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), his alma mater. Mr Correa was responsible for designing a number of landmark buildings in India, including the Gandhi Memorial in Gujarat, the Bharat Bhavan and Vidhan Bhavan in Bhopal, and the Kala Academy in Goa. Mr Correa was often critical of the way cities were being planned. "Market forces do not make cities, they destroy them," he said at an awards ceremony. Here are some of the buildings designed by the much-feted architect: Tributes have been pouring in for Mr Correa on social media: The newspaper is leaving the historic building in Belfast city centre as it is moving its printing operation to Newry in County Down. Stephen Surphlis, McAleer and Rushe's property director, said it was "a very exciting acquisition for the company". He said the firm will begin working up proposals "which will enhance our city". When the building was advertised for sale, two potential development options were laid out, both featuring a hotel in the listed part of the complex. One of the development options also included a 414-bed student housing scheme, while the other had 222,000 sq ft of offices. The development options are not binding but give an idea of how the site could be used. McAleer and Rushe is currently the most active major developer in Belfast. The company is building a new headquarters for Belfast City Council and is demolishing the former Belfast Metropolitan College building on Blackstaff Square ahead of a hotel scheme. It also has a number of other active planning applications. The Church called the decision "plain silly" and warned it could have a "chilling" effect on free speech. It had hoped the 60-second film would be screened UK-wide before Christmas ahead of the new Star Wars film. The agency that handles adverts for the cinemas said it could offend those of "differing faiths and no faith". The advert features the Christian prayer being recited or sung by a variety of people. They include refugees, a grieving son, weightlifters at a gym, a sheep farmer, a gospel choir and the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby. Watch the advert here. (on YouTube) The advert was passed uncut by the British Board of Film Classification and given a "U" certificate, as well as receiving clearance from the Cinema Advertising Authority. However, the Digital Cinema Media (DCM) agency, which handles British film advertising for the major cinema chains, Odeon, Cineworld and Vue, refused to show the advert because it believed it would risk upsetting or offending audiences. In a statement, DCM said it had a policy of not accepting political or religious advertising content in its cinemas. It said that "some advertisements - unintentionally or otherwise - could cause offence to those of differing political persuasions, as well as to those of differing faiths and indeed of no faith," and that "in this regard, DCM treats all political or religious beliefs equally". The Most Reverend Justin Welby said he found the decision "extraordinary". "This advert is about as offensive as a carol service or church service on Christmas Day," he said. "Let the public judge for themselves rather than be censored or dictated to." The Reverend Arun Arora, director of communications for the Church of England, said: "We find that really astonishing, disappointing and rather bewildering. "The prospect of many families attending the release of the new Star Wars film had seemed a good opportunity to launch the advert and a new website justpray.uk to promote prayer ahead of Christmas. "The Lord's Prayer is prayed by billions of people across the globe every day, and in this country has been part of everyday life for centuries." He added: "In one way the decision of the cinemas is just plain silly, but the fact that they have insisted upon it, makes it rather chilling in terms of limiting free speech." He encouraged people to visit the website, watch the film and make up their own minds "as to whether they are upset or offended by it". Stephen Slack, the Church's chief legal adviser, warned the banning of the advert could "give rise to the possibility of legal proceedings" under the Equality Act, which bans commercial organisations from refusing services on religious grounds. The refusal to show the advert is likely to reignite a debate about the place of religion and faith in the public arena, especially Christianity, and whether freedom of expression for believers is being stifled. One of those who took part in the ad, Ian McDowall, is a former bouncer and a weightlifter who founded a Christian charity, Tough Talk, after finding his faith. "I don't think people know a lot about Christianity these days anyway, and the opportunity to share the Lord's Prayer in a cinema environment would make people think - and realise that Christians come in all shapes and sizes." But Terry Sanderson, president of the National Secular Society, said: "The Church of England is arrogant to imagine it has an automatic right to foist its opinions upon a captive audience who have paid good money for a completely different experience. "The Church does not hesitate to ban things that it deems inappropriate from its own church halls - things like yoga. The cinema chains are simply exercising the same right." The 31-year-old, who will wear number nine, has signed a two-year contract. A tall and powerful target man with seven goals in 24 appearances for Spain, Llorente is a significant signing for the Premier League side. "I am very happy to join Swansea," said Llorente, who scored seven goals in 36 games last season. "I have scored goals in La Liga and Serie A, and now I want to score a lot of goals for the club in the Premier League." He rose to prominence with Athletic Bilbao and joined Juventus in 2013, spending two years in Italy before moving back to Spain with Sevilla. Llorente was part of the Spain squad that won the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012. He could make his first appearance for his new club as early as Saturday when the Swans host French side Stade Rennais in their final friendly before the Premier League season kicks off. Llorente says he wants to follow the example of compatriot Michu, who scored 22 goals in 43 games in his first season at the Liberty Stadium, before he departed in November 2015. "I want to score a lot of goals like Michu," said Llorente, adding: "He is a very good player and he did very well here." Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins has previously said the Welsh club want at least two new strikers after the summer departures of forwards Alberto Paloschi, Eder and Bafetimbi Gomis. Francesco Guidolin's side are also interested in signing Atletico Madrid striker Borja Baston. The club have enquired about Premier League champions Leicester City's Argentine striker Leonardo Ulloa too.

On Saturday, 7 November 1964 The Beatles arrived in the Welsh capital to play the Capitol Theatre at the very zenith of their powers. A total of 5,000 fans saw the Fab Four in two performances held that day, but many thousands more missed out on tickets. The concert was the second of three visits to Cardiff and came just months after the band had conquered America. The gig - for which the band were paid £850 - predictably sold out immediately and was the biggest demand for tickets The Capitol Theatre had ever experienced. In those pre-internet days, fans wanting tickets sent off their money to the venue in the hope they would be lucky. Thousands were not and had their cash sent back to them. Entry into the gig cost between 8/6d (approx £5.40 today) and 15 shillings (£9.60), but today a ticket stub from the show sells for £100-plus on Beatles memorabilia websites. One lucky fan who managed to get a golden ticket was the then 14-year-old Hefin Elis, of Port Talbot, who went with his friend Geraint Griffiths. Recalling the concert, Mr Elis, 64, a former TV and record producer, said: "It was very exciting. We heard they were going on tour and we managed to get tickets. "You couldn't hear much because the screaming was so loud. "It was a fantastic experience. "We were in the stalls, half way back. We had a good view and everyone was on their feet jumping up and down and screaming. "I remember them playing Twist and Shout. We were big fans and we were both musicians and tried to emulate them. "It's a real honour to think I was there. Every time I go past the Capitol even now - 50 years later - I think about that night." Another fan remembers the "wild excitement" of being in the crowd. Helen Stradling, 70, a retired teacher from Penarth, said: "I can't remember one song they played, I just remember the wild excitement of it all. "My mother and father, sister, my boyfriend and me were at the front of the upper dress circle and I just remember them bouncing onto the stage. "It was just so exciting to see them in the flesh, just something so special. I think we still have the ticket somewhere." The Beatles were pelted with a shower of jelly babies for the duration of their two sets in Cardiff that night. It was because George Harrison had made an off-the-cuff remark in an interview that they were his favourite sweets. Before that November night, Welsh Beatles fans had waited more than a year to see their heroes following the band's brief residency in Llandudno in 1963. John, Paul, George and Ringo were on a four-week tour of Britain after seeing the release of their critically acclaimed debut film, A Hard Day's Night, in July. The gig was the 24th of the tour and joining them on the bill that night in Queen Street were The Rustiks, Michael Haslam, Sounds Incorporated, Mary Wells, The Remo Four and Tommy Quickly with compere duties being handled by Bob Bain. Because of their stellar fame, getting past the hysterical fans and to the stage of the Capitol Theatre was no mean feat. They first travelled to St Mellons in manager Brian Epstein's chauffeur-driven limousine before getting into a Black Maria police van to get through the crowds to the venue. The Beatles performed the same 10 songs at both "houses" at 6.30pm and 8.30pm, but they were barely audible above the hysterical fans' screams. As soon as the gig was over The Beatles were driven back to Liverpool for a homecoming the following day that attracted a crowd of 150,000. And the rest, as they say, is history. 1 January: Top of the Pops first airs on BBC 20 January: Eleven men go on trial in Aylesbury charged in connection with the Great Train Robbery 15 March: Richard Burton marries Elizabeth Taylor (for the first time) in Montreal 6 July: A Hard Day's Night is released. Victor Spinetti appears and Alun Owen's screenplay is nominated for an Academy Award 22 August: The first Match of the Day airs on BBC Two 17 October: The Welsh Office is established, under the leadership of a Secretary of State for Wales Jim Griffiths 9 November: House of Commons votes to abolish the death penalty for murder in Britain 1: (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me - Sandie Shaw 2: Oh, Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison 3: The Wedding (La Novia) - Julie Rogers 4: Walk Away - Matt Monro 5: Sha La La - Manfred Mann 6: When You Walk In The Room - Searchers 7: Baby Love - Supremes 8: The Twelfth Of Never - Cliff Richard 9: Where Did Our Love Go - Supremes 10: We're Through - Hollies The year The Beatles thrilled the crowds at Cardiff's Capitol Theatre was a crucial one in their unprecedented mind-blowing career. After rising to fame in England from 1962 onwards it took until 1964 before the longed-for breakthrough came in America. But when it did come, it came quick. They went from being virtual unknowns in the USA to mega-star status in just six weeks. On Christmas Day, 1963, practically no-one in the US had ever heard of them. By Sunday, 9 February, 1964 they had caused such a stir Stateside that a world record audience of 73 million viewers tuned in to see the group's debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. Such was the significance of the achievement it was captured on Pathe News footage. Our pictures below show some of the highlights of that groundbreaking tour. The 27-year-old Cameroon international made 31 appearances for the Hammers during a loan spell last season. Song, who played for Arsenal between 2005 and 2012, will sign a three-year contract if he can prove his fitness. "We just hope the medical shows he's in a sufficient state for us to gamble," West Ham co-owner David Sullivan told the Knees Up Mother Brown Podcast. "He couldn't physically pass a medical tomorrow, but if the medics say it's just a technical thing and he's only a couple of weeks away you'd take that gamble and hope they're right." Sullivan said signing Song on a three-year deal would be a "huge commitment", adding: "He's a big earner." Five weeks ago the elusive Bristolian led other artists in filling a derelict lido at Weston-super-Mare with thought-provoking art and installations. Tourism bosses said the dark attraction brought more than 150,000 paying visitors and £20m to the seaside town. Once dismantled, all the fixtures will be sent to the Calais refugee camp "to build shelters", its website says. Among the exhibits were a dilapidated fairy castle, a distorted mermaid and a pond of migrant-filled boats. Banksy previously said many of the works required "audience participation". "A dead princess is only complete when surrounded by gawping crowds with their cameras out, or the opportunity to photograph yourself pulling an amazed expression when a killer whale leaps from a toilet," he added. "I guess you'd say it's a theme park whose big theme is 'theme parks should have bigger themes'." Artist friends went and reported feeling incredibly moved by some of what they'd seen - they came back feeling that it was time for their own art to get political. I thought the work on show by Banksy and other artists was both reflective of some of the worst socio-political atrocities we are living through, and audacious in its message and production. Banksy is the street art king of meaning. I'm not sure whether street art will be welcomed in Weston-super-Mare the way it is in Bristol, but it sure has contributed massively to that town's cultural and retail economy. I hope Dismaland inspired local young people politically, socially and artistically. On Friday, controversial Russian punk band Pussy Riot joined De La Soul and surprise guest Damon Albarn for a live evening event, a Masked Ball. The final viewings took place at 11:00, 14:00 and 19:00 BST. More than 50 international artists were involved at the site chosen by Banksy after the artist walked past the old lido six months ago. The Tropicana outdoor pool and leisure facility closed in 2000 because of falling visitor numbers and had been left abandoned since. But North Somerset Council said it had already lined up other events for the site. "We have three or four arts-based events lined up already to take place in the building after the Dismaland show has been dismantled and more in the planning stages," said a spokeswoman. "This will allow us time to discuss with the market the longer-term arrangements for the building which Dismaland has demonstrated has potential as a space for arts and performance." An explosives-laden pick-up truck exploded shortly before midnight (21:00 GMT) in the predominantly Shia Muslim commercial district of Karrada. Twenty people were also injured by the blast, which set several shops on fire. The blast was not far from the site of a lorry bombing in July that left more than 300 people dead. An IS statement said the Sunni jihadist group had targeted a gathering of Shia civilians on Monday and boasted how it had managed to carry out the attack despite heightened security in the area. The streets of Karrada are lined with shops and restaurants, and they are usually packed ahead of the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha, which starts next week. The area bombed in July, which was targeted as Muslims prepared for the other major festival of Eid al-Fitr, had only recently been reopened by the Iraqi authorities. In a separate development on Tuesday, the UN World Food Programme said it had delivered food to more than 30,000 residents of Qayyarah for the first time in two years, after Iraqi government forces ousted IS militants from the northern town. The WFP's country director, Sally Haydock, told AFP news agency that Qayyarah was "in a dire state" and that locals were "suffering extreme hunger". Safe drinking water, electricity and medical services were almost impossible to access, and black smoke was also rising from nearby oilfields that were set alight by militants as they withdrew from the town two weeks ago, Ms Haydock said. The Qayyarah operation was part of a wider offensive by government forces aiming to retake the second city of Mosul, 60km (35 miles) away, which IS militants overran in 2014. The UN Refugee Agency warned last month that 1.2 million people could be displaced by the assault on Mosul. The NSPCC's round-the-clock service said it had handled 660 counselling sessions since the Paris attacks in November last year. Counsellors at Scotland's two Childline bases in Aberdeen and Glasgow handled 111 of the calls from across the UK. Many callers said they feared the outbreak of war or the prospect of a terror attack hurting their families. Across the UK, one in five of the contacts to the free, anonymous service, were from young people aged 11 or younger. The two Welsh Childline bases in Cardiff and Prestatyn received 71 calls from anxious youngsters. The Paris attacks on November 13, 2015, and the atrocities in Brussels, Orlando, Nice, and Munich this year all triggered a higher volume of calls - with girls twice as likely as boys to contact the service - according to the charity. Matt Forde, national head of services for NSPCC Scotland, said: "The past 12 months have been stained by these bloody events and it is little wonder that young people are so frightened about terrorism. "Sadly we now live in a world where the months are punctuated by these attacks, so it is vital that we do not brush young peoples' fears aside. "Instead, we must listen to their worries and reassure them that there are people doing everything they can to keep us all safe." The charity said youngsters aged 12 to 15 were the most likely to speak to counsellors. The NSPCC's helpline service helps parents by advising them on how to talk to children about terrorism. The show, based on the novels by Winston Graham and starring Aidan Turner, will see its second series aired on BBC One this autumn. Set in the 18th Century, the drama follows the life and loves of dashing Cornish mine owner Ross Poldark. The third series, based on the fifth and sixth books of Graham's collection, will begin filming later this year. The show has made a heart-throb of Turner, who previously starred in BBC Two series Being Human and in The Hobbit trilogy on the big screen. The first series of Poldark was a hit for the BBC when it was broadcast on Sunday nights last year. Its ratings peaked at 9.4 million viewers across TV and iPlayer, and its accolades included the audience award at the TV Baftas. The series finale in April drew in 5.9 million TV viewers and was praised by critics, including the Telegraph's Allison Pearson who called it "devastatingly good". The show's production company Mammoth Screen said the series was a "passion project" for all those involved. "It's with real excitement that we prepare for both the launch of series two and our return to Cornwall to shoot series three," managing director Damien Turner said. "Winston Graham and [scriptwriter] Debbie Horsfield's extraordinary flair for storytelling means the saga of Ross, his friends and enemies will go to even more thrilling places." The 10-episode second series will be set in 1794 and see Ross and his wife Demelza, played by Eleanor Tomlinson, return in a story set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. New characters will also be introduced into the saga, including Midsomer Murders star John Nettles as Ray Penvenen, one the country's richest landowners, and Endless Love actress Gabriella Wilde, playing his niece Caroline Penvenen.

The officer sustained "multiple serious injuries" after responding to reports of a domestic incident in Sheffield on Wednesday night. Ch Supt David Hartley said the officer, along with a colleague, faced "an immediate and aggressive attack". He praised the bravery of other officers who responded to the incident. Ch Supt Hartley, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "The man was armed with an axe, and that was used as part of the assault. "The female officer sustained some really quite horrific injuries." He said the man then went out to the road, putting members of the public at risk. "I'm incredibly proud of the response from my colleagues - all officers responded to this," he said. "They showed incredible bravery putting themselves between the public and the man, and very quickly brought him into custody." He said the officer who was attacked was "lucky to be alive" and is appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the assault to get in touch. The officer remains in hospital and is expected to undergo surgery later. Neighbour Simon Ellis, 46, who went to help the officer, said she told him she feared the attacker would kill her. Mr Ellis said he had noticed two officers running up the stairwell in his block of flats and then a female resident emerged. "She said [her boyfriend had] lost his mind, the aliens were chasing him and he was trying to kill the police officers that I'd just seen running up the stairs," he said. "As she did so, the lady police officer came half-staggering, half-falling out of the stairwell pursued by this big bloke, this bodybuilder, with an axe. "It was a frenzied attack, chopping at her with the axe." Witnesses said the female officer was injured inside a maisonette before a man fled to the Co-op and started throwing stock at staff and customers. Police said three other officers were injured as they arrested a man, in his 30s, inside the Co-op store, in Blackstock Road. In the present environment, it is a somewhat forlorn hope. Tonight, at an entrepreneurs event in Davos, the Duke made his first public comments following the sex allegations made by Virginia Roberts in court papers lodged in Florida. Before he spoke about the work he does with start-ups, he made an attempt to deal with the allegations which have dominated the headlines since before Christmas. "I firstly think I must and want, for the record, to refer to events of the last few week," he said. "And I wish to reiterate and reaffirm the statements that have been issued on my behalf by Buckingham Palace." Those are the categorical denials which said that he had "never had any form of sexual contact or relationship with her". "My focus is on my work and this evening allows me to tell you about the initiatives I'm passionate about," he continued. I was asked a number of weeks ago by the Palace to introduce the entrepreneurs at the event at which the Duke spoke tonight. And I was given the opportunity to spend some private time with him directly after the event. My impression is that the Duke is resolute that at this stage he will go no further on any details about his relationship with Virginia Roberts, whom he has been photographed with. You can ask him any way you want about the allegations made and he will simply repeat the denials Buckingham Palace has put out. He has nothing further to add. Not for him the approach of Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard lawyer, who was also named in the Florida court papers and has said he will not rest until he has proved that Ms Roberts claims were false. Ms Roberts responded by saying that she would not be "bullied back into silence". The Duke believes that he had to be seen to say something, hence the two sentences tonight. Some advised against it, with Sir Menzies Campbell for example saying he should not go to Davos at all. The Duke wholly disagreed. The event tonight was always going to be public - in contrast to some of his previous events at Davos - and the team around him decided not to change tack when the sex allegations were made public. Given that it was in front of a business audience, it was judged ideal as a venue to briefly mention the allegations and move on. The Duke certainly regrets that he was so closely involved with Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex offences in the US, and is alleged to have introduced Ms Roberts to the Duke. But the Duke argues that his role as official government trade envoy, which was brought to an end in 2011, was not directly linked to the controversy at the time over his relationship with Epstein. It was already planned that his role would become more informal. Any changes in role for the Royal Household take a long time to put in place. The Duke sees himself as someone who can engage political leaders and business leaders. And sometimes they are controversial. He makes no apology for that and believes that his rather more semi-official role is still of great use to the UK. The Duke also feels he can bring together leading chief executives and smaller businesses to discuss financing and to build networks. Judging by last night - there were a myriad of chief executives in the audience including Marc Bolland of Marks and Spencer and Iain Conn of Centrica - he can do that with some success. Amid all the controversy, it's probably worth remembering the three entrepreneurs who pitched their ideas at the event tonight - Jonny Macneal of Insignia Technologies, Paul Brewster of Pure Marine Gen and Joachim Horn of Sam Labs. You may well be hearing a lot more about them in the future. Media playback is not supported on this device The Czech Republic goalkeeper, who played more than 400 club games in 11 seasons at Stamford Bridge, has joined the Gunners on a four-year contract. Cech, 33, made only seven league appearances last season after losing his place to Belgian Thibaut Courtois. In a letter to Chelsea fans, Cech said he thought he would retire at Stamford Bridge, but added: "Life doesn't always turn out the way you think it will." He wrote: "Last summer, things changed and I understood I was no longer the first-choice keeper, but I felt it was not the right time for me to go. "During the season, it became clear that my situation would not improve and - as I know I am not at the stage of my career where I want to be on the bench - I made my decision to move and look for new challenges." Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "Petr Cech is a player I have admired for a long time and I am very pleased he has decided to join us." Cech, brought to Stamford Bridge from French club Rennes in July 2004, won 13 trophies with Chelsea - including one Champions League and four Premier League titles. He also set a club goalkeeping record of 228 clean sheets in all competitions, beating the previous highest total of 208, set by former England international Peter Bonetti between 1960 and 1979. Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey responded to Cech's arrival by posting on Twitter: "Wow, what a signing. One of the best Premier League keepers ever." Gunners forward Theo Walcott tweeted that he scored his first Arsenal goal against Cech - in the 2007 League Cup final - to which his new team-mate replied: "Happy it won't happen again." And Arsenal's current number one Wojciech Szczesny, said: "Delighted to have a chance to learn from one of the best GK's in the world." Cech, Arsenal's first signing of the summer, could face Chelsea as early as 2 August, when the two sides meet in the Community Shield at Wembley. The London Sleep Centre team says studies show alcohol upsets our normal sleep cycles. While it cuts the time it takes to first nod off and sends us into a deep sleep, it also robs us of one of our most satisfying types of sleep, where dreams occur. Used too often, it can cause insomnia. Many advocate a nightcap - nursing homes and hospital wards have even been known to serve alcohol - but Dr Irshaad Ebrahim and his team advise against it. Dr Ebrahim, medical director at the London Sleep Centre and co-author of the latest review, published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, said: "We should be very cautious about drinking on a regular basis. "One or two glasses might be nice in the short term, but if you continue to use a tipple before bedtime it can cause significant problems. "If you do have a drink, it's best to leave an hour and a half to two hours before going to bed so the alcohol is already wearing off." He said people could become dependent on alcohol for sleep. And it could make sleep less restful and turn people into snorers. "With increasing doses, alcohol suppresses our breathing. It can turn non-snorers into snorers and snorers into people with sleep apnoea - where the breathing's interrupted." From the hundred or more studies that Dr Ebrahim's team looked at, they analysed 20 in detail and found alcohol appeared to change sleep in three ways. Firstly, it accelerates sleep onset, meaning we drop off faster. Next, it sends us into a very deep sleep. These two changes - which are identical to those seen in people who take antidepressant medication - may be appealing and may explain why some people with insomnia use alcohol. But the third change - fragmented sleep patterns the second half of the night - is less pleasant. Alcohol reduces how much time we spend in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep - the stage of sleep where dreams generally occur. As a consequence, the sleep may feel less restful, said Dr Ebrahim. Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said: "Alcohol on the whole is not useful for improving a whole night's sleep. Sleep may be deeper to start with, but then becomes disrupted. Additionally, that deeper sleep will probably promote snoring and poorer breathing. So, one shouldn't expect better sleep with alcohol." The Sleep Council said: "Don't over-indulge. Too much food or alcohol, especially late at night, just before bedtime, can play havoc with sleep patterns. "Alcohol may help you fall asleep initially, but will interrupt your sleep later on in the night. Plus you may wake dehydrated and needing the loo." The 28-year-old has nine caps for his country, appearing in the 2015 World Cup and as a replacement at Twickenham against England in November. Tight-head Alec Clarey, 23, will join from Bristol, with Jordan Brodley, 23, and Roy Godfrey, 27, also signing. Meanwhile, fellow prop Jake Armstrong has signed a new deal after initially joining Jersey last summer. South Africa-born loose-head Godfrey has played for French side Perpignan, while Brodley has represented a number of lower league sides while completing his studies in Bristol. "Jersey has become known for having a strong pack, and although we've developed more of an all-court game this season, our forwards still play a vital role in what we do," said head coach Harvey Biljon. "There is a great mix of experience in Roy and Lee Roy, and younger players like Alec and Jordan with genuine potential." For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter. Migration experts say the numbers arriving on the islands have surged recently to as many as 7,000 a day, trying to reach Europe before the weather worsens. The biggest numbers arriving in Greece are from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan and some of the new arrivals on the island of Lesbos told BBC News their stories. Ali came from Najaf with his wife and son, fleeing the advance of Islamic State (IS) militants and the breakdown of services such as basic drinking water. "I'm not thinking about me," he says, "it's about the future for my son." Sara came to Lesbos with her two sons from the Damascus suburb of Ghouta, because life there was becoming impossible and she was unable to find the medicines she needed. "It's like we went back 200 years", she says. Her husband is still in Syria. Ali fled Kunduz when the Taliban recently took control of the city, travelling via Iran to Turkey. He has no idea of his eventual destination but says if he can find eke out a living somewhere in Europe, that is where he will stay. Ahmed says a combination of violence in Mogadishu and a lack of work and education opportunities prompted him to leave. Having already completed a long journey overland to Turkey, he says his ultimate destination is Germany. The boat in which Ali arrived had to be rescued by the Greek authorities. He says he left his home in north-west Pakistan, crossing Iran on his way to Turkey because the Taliban wanted him to join their jihad. Video production by Bhasker Solanki and Jim Muir A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. In an angry tweet, Mr Assange said he had been detained for seven years "without charge" while his children grew up and his "name was slandered". Sweden said on Friday it had decided to drop the rape investigation. Meanwhile Ecuador urged the UK to allow him safe passage out of the country. Mr Assange, 45, has chosen to remain in the embassy as he fears extradition to Sweden would lead to extradition to the US, where he is wanted over the leaking of hundreds of thousands of secret military and diplomatic documents. However, police in London said they would still be obliged to arrest him if he left the Ecuadorean embassy, despite the Swedish prosecutors' decision. The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) said Mr Assange still faced the lesser charge of failing to surrender to a court, an offence punishable by up to a year in prison or a fine. But the UK has not commented on whether it has received an extradition request from the US, where Mr Assange could, potentially, face trial. Sweden's decision coincided with the release by Wikileaks of another tranche of documents about the US Central Intelligence Agency's technical capabilities. BBC security correspondent Gordon Correra says previous leaks, of what look like highly sensitive secret documents, have been damaging to the agency. Mr Assange's Swedish lawyer, Per Samuelson, said the prosecutor's decision on Friday represented "a total victory" for his client. But the Wikileaks founder tweeted: "Detained for 7 years without charge... while my children grew up and my name was slandered. I do not forgive or forget." The plaintiff in the rape case was "shocked" by the decision, her lawyer said, and maintained her accusations against Mr Assange, Agence France-Presse reported. Foreign Minister Guillaume Long said that the UK should now grant Mr Assange safe passage, as the European arrest warrant against him "no longer holds". "Ecuador welcomes the decision to drop the charges," Mr Long added, quoted by AFP, while criticising the time it took Sweden to send an investigator to London to interview Mr Assange. "Ecuador regrets that it took Swedish prosecutor more than four years to carry out this interview. This was a wholly unnecessary delay." Earlier a source at the ministry told the Press Association that Ecuador had "fully co-operated with the Swedish justice system". The source added that Ecuador would now intensify its diplomatic efforts with the UK so that Julian Assange could "enjoy his asylum in Ecuador". At a press briefing on Friday, Sweden's top prosecutor Marianne Ny said that by remaining in the embassy in London Mr Assange had evaded the exercise of the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) that would have seen him extradited to Sweden. She said that under Swedish law a criminal investigation needed to be conducted "as quickly as possible". Sweden did not expect Ecuador's co-operation in formally notifying Mr Assange of the allegations against him, a necessary step in proceeding with the case, she added. But she said: "If he were to return to Sweden before the statute of limitation on this case expires in August 2020, the preliminary investigation could be resumed." She said it was "regrettable we have not been able to carry out the investigation", and added: "We are not making any pronouncement about guilt." The rape allegation followed a Wikileaks conference in Stockholm in 2010. Mr Assange always denied the allegations against him, saying sex was consensual. He also said the case was politically motivated, as it followed massive Wikileaks dumps of secret US military reports that year. Later that year he was arrested in London after Sweden issued an international arrest warrant against him. He spent the following months under house arrest in a small rural town in England. Then, in June 2012, after exhausting legal avenues to prevent his extradition, Mr Assange sought refuge in the Ecuadorean embassy, where he remains to this day. After the news was announced on Friday, Wikileaks tweeted that the "focus now moves to the UK", but Mr Assange's fate still seems unclear. The MPS issued a statement saying that its actions had been based on a response to a "European Arrest Warrant for an extremely serious offence". It went on: "Now that the situation has changed and the Swedish authorities have discontinued their investigation into that matter, Mr Assange remains wanted for a much less serious offence. The MPS will provide a level of resourcing which is proportionate to that offence." The MPS said it would "not comment further on the operational plan". Last month, Mr Samuelson filed a new motion calling for his client's arrest warrant to be lifted. He cited a comment by new US Attorney General Jeff Sessions that the arrest of Mr Assange would be "a priority". Mr Samuelson told Agence France-Presse: "This implies that we can now demonstrate that the US has a will to take action... this is why we ask for the arrest warrant to be cancelled." The six-wheeled robots from Starship Technologies will be used to collect parcels rather than deliver them. The project follows a pilot scheme in Germany in which the robots delivered parcels to several suburbs in the city of Hamburg. But one expert suggested there might be a backlash if the facility became commonplace. "At the moment, in big cities, it can be hard to walk down the street because of the number of people," commented Prof Andy Miah, from the University of Salford's School of Environment and Life Sciences. "In time, it could be the robots we are trying to dodge. I'm not sure that would be a better world." Starship Technologies' machines are already used by Just Eat for food deliveries in parts of London. They are 55cm (22in) tall and 70cm (28in) long. They weigh 18kg (40lb), and can travel at up to 4mph (6.4km/h). Hermes is only using the robots within a two-mile radius of its control centres, in a limited number of 30-minute collection slots to see how they cope with tight turnarounds. Each robot will be able to carry a maximum of 10kg in cargo in a secure compartment, which customers can access using a code sent to their smartphones. The self-driving robots are thought to have several advantages over aerial drones, from being able to carry heavier payloads to being less likely to fall foul of aviation laws. "In the sky, we still have to figure out what a drone highway would look like and figure out some sophisticated collision-avoidance technology," noted Prof Miah. By contrast, Starship's ground-based robots will be kept under close supervision by human operators. Each supervisor will watch over three robots via their on-board cameras and take control of road-crossings and other challenging situations. In time, however, Starship says one operator should be able to control up to 100 robots, which would make its operation more cost effective. The 50-year-old victim was attacked in Jamaica Street at 22:40 on 7 February. One suspect is described as white, aged 40 to 50 years old, of slim build and bald. He was wearing a blue shirt, a light blazer and dark trousers. The other was white, aged 40 to 50, of heavy build, with short dark hair. He was wearing a dark overcoat over a dark shirt, dark trousers and brown shoes Det Con Gordon Walker, of Police Scotland, said: "An unprovoked assault like this on a busy Saturday night in the city centre cannot be tolerated and we seek the assistance of the public in tracking down those responsible. "Anyone with information is asked to contact police." Media playback is not supported on this device Superb death bowling after a rain break kept Pakistan to 260-6, despite 82 from Azhar Ali and Sarfraz Ahmed's 55. Jason Roy made 65 and Joe Root 61 in a second-wicket stand of 89 before the weather intervened to reduce England's target to 252 from 48 overs. Three balls after the restart, on 34.3 overs, more rain ended the match with England well ahead on the DLS method. After a fluctuating, evenly contested Test series was drawn 2-2, this comfortable victory gives England a 10-8 lead in the 'Super Series', where points awarded for results across all three formats. Not only does it give the hosts a ninth victory in 10 one-dayers against Pakistan, it also ends a run of five ODI defeats in Southampton. The next game in the five-match series is at Lord's on Saturday. For all of England's dominance, they were aided by two bits of fortune. The first came when Babar Azam, who made 40, was given out lbw off Adil Rashid despite getting an inside edge, with Pakistan's review already used by Sharjeel Khan after a blatant nick behind off Mark Wood. Second was a rain break that arrived in the 43rd over, stalling Pakistan's momentum. Before that Sarfraz added 65 with Azhar, who was dropped twice on nine - a simple chance to Alex Hales at gully and a very difficult tickle down the leg side to diving wicketkeeper Jos Buttler. Sarfraz's partnership of 46 with Shoaib Malik was interrupted by the weather, with Shoaib caught at mid-off from the bowling of Liam Plunkett in the over after the restart. From there the pacy Wood, impressing in his first international since October because of ankle surgery, the increasingly dependable Chris Woakes and Plunkett, who improved after a poor start, restricted Pakistan to only 40 runs in the last seven overs. On a perfect batting surface, Pakistan's total never looked like being enough and the decision to omit leg-spinner Yasir Shah left an attack short on ideas. Roy, who needed treatment for what seemed to be a spell of dizziness, scored with typical freedom, playing some extraordinary straight-batted drives through the leg side and one sweep for six off the spin of Imad Wasim. After Hales guided Umar Gul to slip, some excellent running was a feature of Roy's stand with Root, who swept and drove his way to a 23rd score of 50 or more in ODIs, coming at a rate of one every three innings. Both feel needlessly - Roy well caught at long-off by Azam from the spin of Mohammad Nawaz and Root run out by Azhar's direct hit when called through for a short single by Eoin Morgan. Still, England were accelerating once more through Morgan and Ben Stokes, playing as a specialist batsman on his return after a calf injury, when the rain first delayed the inevitable, then confirmed their victory. Former England captain Michael Vaughan: "We talk a lot about luck in cricket, there certainly are things that are out of your control. The rain really did affect Pakistan, it might have cost them 20 or 30 runs." Ex-England spinner Phil Tufnell: "Where's Yasir Shah? Where's the mystery bowler? Two or three of his special deliveries to new batsmen and you don't know what might have happened." Man of the match Jason Roy: "It sets a nice benchmark but again we are looking to push on from this. I'm feeling good and trusting my training. Hopefully I can put in another performance for the guys on Saturday." The Electoral Commission has launched a public awareness campaign to remind people of the need to be registered. Otherwise, they will not be able to vote on 7 May. It has made a new television advertisement to remind voters they will be turned away from polling stations unless they are registered. The commission will also use radio, press, outdoor and digital advertising to remind the public about the 20 April deadline. Ann Watt, the head of the Electoral Commission's Northern Ireland office, said: "There has already been a great deal of interest and debate ahead of the UK general election, with voters keen to have their say. "However, many people do not realise that they aren't registered and how easy it is to do so. She added: "We don't want anyone to be turned away on polling day, so if you aren't registered take action now by downloading a registration form." Voters can use the commission's website - www.aboutmyvote.co.uk - or can call the helpline on 0800 4320 712 to become registered. About 50 officers have been diverted to process reports of crimes filed on the internet and by email. The force said "the significant majority were on restricted duties". But the BBC has been told some were neighbourhood patrol officers and communities were "noticing fewer police on the beat". More on how officers are being taken off patrol, plus more Devon and Cornwall news Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg said earlier this year the 101 service was currently not fit for purpose and had got worse. Devon and Cornwall Police has since encouraged people to use email or an online form to report crimes to cut delays calling the 101 non-urgent number, which has been criticised for long delays. In a statement, Devon and Cornwall Police said: "In response to the 101 delays, the force moved around 50 people including officers, PCSOs and other staff to assist the contact centre. "The significant majority of these were on restricted duties therefore were unable to undertake front line duties or their usual job role. "The team have been recording crime information, to release our call handlers to answer 101 and 999 calls. "This is a short term position and we expect all the staff to be returned to their original roles by Christmas." Peter O'Brien, 34, let the Merseyside thieves stay at his flat in Aberdeen while they hatched plans to blow up cash machines in the north east. Eleven thefts and attempted thefts were reported across the north-east in 2013. O'Brien, who will be sentenced in August, also provided the men with one of their getaway vehicles. Crowbars were used to attack the machines before a hose was inserted, piping in a mixture of oxygen and acetylene gas. This was then ignited, causing an explosion so they could get access to the money boxes inside the unit. O'Brien was due to go on trial facing 24 charges at the High Court in Aberdeen instead but was acquitted of his role in the majority of the crimes after he admitted three of the offences. Advocate depute Keith O'Mahony said he admitted two of the charges on the basis that he was "threatened" by the gang and played no part in the actual crimes. However, he provided the men with one of their get away vehicles and also let them stay in his flat where the two attempted theft offences were planned and executed. The court heard that one of the offences took place at a Clydesdale Bank in Stonehaven in the early hours 28 October 2013. Mr O'Mahony said a witness was awoken by a noise from the street and saw the gang preparing to blow up the ATM. "The males were in possession of what appeared to be a gas cylinder. They were attempting to feed pipes connected to this cylinder in to the front of the ATM," he said. The men drove off when they realised they were being watched but later targeted a Bank of Scotland ATM in Inverurie. As they tried to hide one their cars on waste ground near Methick they were spotted acting suspiciously and the police were contacted. The car was examined and a bottle of acetylene gas, piping, a crow bar and sledge hammer were recovered from the vehicle. O'Brien was apprehended a few days later near his Aberdeen home, walking towards a second car which contained wires, gloves, rolls of tape, fuses, a torch and fake registration plates. O'Brien also admitted failing to appear for a previous hearing. He will be sentenced on 10 August. The decision has been made by experts at Oxford City Council and the university after the large branches fell from the tree on Saturday. Dr Alison Foster, of the Botanic Garden, said: "It's a tree like no other - it's just heart-breaking." The tree was a favourite of JRR Tolkien during his time in Oxford. Ms Foster said staff heard noises coming from the tree and moved visitors away from the area of the walled garden shortly before the branches fell. She said: "A crack appeared and then in about five minutes the branches came down. "It's really hard to say what the cause was - it's something that just happens in old trees - there are suggestions that prolonged hot, dry weather can lead to this kind of thing." An area around the tree has been closed to the public while the tree is felled, a process which is expected to take several weeks. The Botanic Garden said the tree was thought to have been planted in 1799 from a seed collected by the third Sherardian Professor of Botany, John Sibthorp, in Austria. The garden said it intended to propagate from the black pine. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings while living and working in Oxford. About 6,000 youngsters took part in the Mini and Junior Great North Run, with a Great North 5k (3.1 miles) also staged. Elite athletes were in attendance for the Great North City Games, although long jump world champion Greg Rutherford withdrew through injury. A crowd of 25,000 was expected by organisers. Taking part in the Great North City Games was 200m world champion Dafne Schippers, who raced to victory on a 100m track constructed on the banks of the Tyne. Rutherford and 5,000m and 10,000m world champion Mo Farah took part in a penalty shoot-out at a launch event at Newcastle United's St James's Park stadium on Friday. The Great North Run half marathon will be staged on Sunday with more than 50,000 people taking on the 13.1 mile course from Newcastle to South Shields. It will be the 35th staging of the event, which began as a fun run in 1981. Farah is aiming for his second consecutive victory in the men's elite race, which gets under way at 10:40 BST. The odds were already favouring a draw after Surrey's openers had batted out the final 45 overs on the third day. And the south London weather had the final word when the game was abandoned in mid-afternoon on Wednesday. Middlesex, who have now drawn all five County Championship games so far, take 10 points and Surrey nine. Both sides are back in Division One action this Sunday, when Middlesex host Somerset at Lord's and Surrey head to Manchester to take on last season's Division Two title rivals Lancashire.

Dawa Steven knows all too well how quickly disaster can strike in the Himalayas. As a Nepalese Sherpa, he has climbed widely in the surrounding peaks and said the weather can change in an instant. The 30-year-old recalls the time two years ago when he and nine companions ran into trouble while climbing on the Tashi Labsta pass near Mount Everest. "There was a sudden change in weather and a tremendous windstorm," he said. "It was horrendously difficult and very, very dangerous. Hands down, that was one of my toughest days." In the latest storms, many people appear to have perished after being caught out on open mountainsides. Others were buried by avalanches. The deadly weather was highly unusual, whipping through Nepal on the tail-end of Cyclone Hudhud. Yet Mr Steven, who runs a trekking company in Kathmandu, said there were still life-saving tips which climbers could use to mitigate the risk of catastrophe. The one thing to remember was shelter, he said, even if it were a yak shed or tea hut. "If there is no shelter, find a cave or a large rock somewhere," he said. "Just any sort of shelter from the elements. "Then band up with other people. As it gets colder you can rely on each other's body warmth." If a hiker is caught without any kind of sanctuary during a storm, he added, then he or she had almost "reached the point of no return". Tuesday's tragedy occurred on the Annapurna Circuit - one of the most well-trodden trekking routes in the world. Although frequented by seasoned climbers and mountaineers, it is also popular with less experienced hikers. Given the severity of the unexpected snowstorms, some of those caught out would not have had been fully prepared. Simon Lowe, an experienced mountaineer who has climbed widely in Nepal, said: "You just would not expect that weather at this time of year. "There would have been a reasonable expectation that they could have gone out in good weather and it would have stayed like that." Like Mr Steven, Mr Lowe said that the most important thing for any hiker to do in such a situation is find shelter - even if it means trying to create a snow cave. How to avoid an avalanche Though there is no failsafe method, assessing avalanche risk is mostly a matter of topography, say experts. Convex slopes and cornices are particularly hazardous, while smooth rock slabs beneath the snow are dangerous as they fail to provide anchorage. The type of snowfall is also key - the stickier the snow, the less likely it is to sheer off the mountain. In addition, if the sun is shining the day after a heavy storm, then melt-water running beneath the surface could also increase the chances of movement. For walkers, the odds of surviving an avalanche come down to the surrounding terrain. If it looks like the risks of collapsing snow are high and you are standing on the edge of a crevasse or in a gully, the prospects of survival may be slim. Even if caught in the flow of an avalanche, experts say, all is not lost. Rolling like a log or even using a swimming motion can help, while covering the mouth with one hand can help create a breathing space when trapped. But he added that technology was becoming increasingly influential. Weather forecasts are readily available on mobile phones, he said, while his own company always sends groups to Nepal with satellite phones and GPS devices. However he noted that in the worst storms, GPS technology often does not work. Another problem is altitude sickness - something which Mr Lowe rates as the single biggest danger for hikers in the Himalayas. According to Nikki Skinner from the UK-based Trek and Mountain magazine, a good way for walkers to mitigate the risk is to train at home before leaving on a big expedition. "The best thing you can do is to replicate what you will be doing when you get there," she said. "You need to do cardiovascular fitness training, go for long walks, get used to long days on foot." Ms Skinner also said there were various training programmes for trekkers, including rescue courses or "winter skills" programmes on how to spot avalanche threats or navigate during a blizzard. Dawa Steven says that perhaps the most effective way for a trekker to escape catastrophe is to prepare adequately beforehand. "It all starts before the trek itself," he said, saying that it was important for foreigners to use experience local guides and also inform their embassies of where they were going. "These days Annapurna is popular with a lot of young people on a budget," he said. "They don't hire proper guides and don't go through proper trekking companies. "Sometimes they are going into unknown territory and in 99% of cases that is fine. But when something like this happens, they can get into big trouble."

Officials have now confirmed dozens of deaths in snowstorms that have struck a popular Nepalese trekking route.As emergency teams continued their search experts told the BBC how hikers could stay as safe as possible if disaster strikes.

More than 400 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of £650,000 were seized from Drakelow Tunnels, near Kidderminster in Worcestershire. A 45-year-old man has been arrested in a separate dawn raid in Kidderminster. During the Cold War, the tunnels were designated as the potential site of a regional seat of government in the event of a nuclear attack. "[Officers] found a network of hydroponic equipment including heating, lighting and ventilation fans," said Supt Kevin Purcell. The 285,000 sq ft network of tunnels stretches for about three miles and was used in World War Two to house a machine-part factory. The tunnels were also used by the Ministry of Supply throughout the 1950s for storage, and much of the original equipment is still in place. More recently plans were revealed by the site's owners to transform the tunnels into a museum. Mr Neville died in Australia, after being taken ill on a visit to support his daughter Tracey, who is England netball head coach, during the World Cup. The 65-year-old was a former commercial director of Bury Football Club. His funeral service will be held in Bury, followed by a private burial. Mr Neville was involved in the fans' group Save Our Shakers, which was formed when the side faced bankruptcy in 2002. His sons both started their lengthy football careers with Manchester United in the early 1990s. Gary won 85 England caps, while Phil won 59. An emotional Tracey Neville led her England side out on court hours after it emerged her father had been taken ill. She said it was the right decision to stay, as her father would not have expected her to "bail out" of a tournament. "It's a sad day for life, man. I loved Muhammad Ali, he was my friend. Ali will never die. Like Martin Luther King his spirit will live on, he stood for the world.'' - Don King, who promoted many of Ali's fights, including the Rumble in the Jungle "Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest human beings I have ever met. No doubt he was one of the best people to have lived in this day and age." - George Foreman, Ali's friend and rival in the Rumble in the Jungle "His fight outside the ring would cost him his title and his public standing. It would earn him enemies on the left and the right, make him reviled, and nearly send him to jail. But Ali stood his ground. And his victory helped us get used to the America we recognize today." - US President Barack Obama "Today we bow our heads at the loss of a man who did so much for America. Tomorrow we will raise our heads again remembering that his bravery, his outspokenness, and his sacrifice for the sake of his community and country lives on in the best part of each of us. "At a time when blacks who spoke up about injustice were labelled uppity and often arrested under one pretext or another, Muhammad willingly sacrificed the best years of his career to stand tall and fight for what he believed was right. In doing so, he made all Americans, black and white, stand taller. I may be 7ft 2in but I never felt taller than when standing in his shadow." - former basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar "There will never be another Muhammad Ali. The black community all around the world, black people all around the world, needed him. He was the voice for us. He's the voice for me to be where I'm at today." - Floyd Mayweather, world champion boxer across five divisions "Everybody wanted to box because of him. He was just so amazing in every way. More than anything else it was how humble and how brilliantly charismatic he was. He was a beautiful-looking man, a beautiful-looking individual and he had so much compassion. He was the greatest sportsman there has ever been and we were very lucky that he chose boxing." - Barry McGuigan, former world featherweight champion "You were a champion in so many ways. You 'fought' well. Rest well." - Bernice King, daughter of civil rights leader Martin Luther King "We lost a giant today. Boxing benefitted from Muhammad Ali's talents but not as much as mankind benefitted from his humanity." - Filipino world champion across six divisions, Manny Pacquiao "The values of hard work, conviction and compassion that Muhammad Ali developed while growing up in Louisville helped him become a global icon. As a boxer, he became The Greatest, though his most lasting victories happened outside the ring." - Greg Fischer, mayor of Louisville, Kentucky "Ali, he was and always will be the greatest. A true champion in and out of the ring... "He stood for something and by standing for something he made us stronger and he made us better... "Real champions fight until they can't fight no more, and then fight anyhow." - civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton "He was the greatest fighter of all time but his boxing career is secondary to his contribution to the world. He's the most transforming figure of my time certainly. He did more to change race relations and the views of people than even Martin Luther King." - boxing promoter Bob Arum "Ali, the G-O-A-T [Greatest Of All Time]. A giant, an inspiration, a man of peace, a warrior for the cure. Thank you." - US actor and fellow Parkinson's battler Michael J Fox "Hillary and I are saddened by the passing of Muhammad Ali. From the day he claimed the Olympic gold medal in 1960, boxing fans across the world knew they were seeing a blend of beauty and grace, speed and strength that may never be matched again. "We watched him grow from the brash self-confidence of youth and success into a manhood full of religious and political convictions that led him to make tough choices and live with the consequences. "Along the way we saw him courageous in the ring, inspiring to the young, compassionate to those in need, and strong and good-humoured in bearing the burden of his own health challenges." Former US President Bill Clinton, and husband of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton "Muhammad Ali was the greatest, not only an extraordinary athlete but a man of great courage and humanity." - Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders "Muhammad Ali is dead at 74! A truly great champion and a wonderful guy. He will be missed by all!" - Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump on Twitter "With an incomparable combination of principle, charm, wit and grace, he fought for a better world and used his platform to help lift up humanity." - spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon "Muhammad Ali was not just a champion in the ring - he was a champion of civil rights, and a role model for so many people." - British Prime Minister David Cameron Donovan Demetrius, 30, who denies the charge, told Bristol Crown Court he was "horrified" to learn bags his brother helped move contained Becky's remains. The dismembered body was found in a shed at the home of his brother Karl Demetrius in March. Nathan Matthews and Shauna Hoare deny murdering the 16-year-old. Mr Demetrius told the jury he was staying in the property at the time, and was asleep upstairs the night Becky's remains were carried through the house to the garden shed. Dean George, representing Demetrius, asked him: "Had you ever gone into the shed?" He replied: "No." Mr George asked: "Did you know what was in the shed?" Mr Demetrius said: "No." He added he felt "distraught, shock" when he heard that his brother had pleaded guilty to assisting an offender and "horrified" to learn that the bags his brother had helped move contained Becky's remains. "My view is, who in their right mind would do something so animalistic? "My heart goes out to her family at the end of the day." Mr Demetrius's twin brother Karl Demetrius, and Karl's girlfriend Jaydene Parsons admitted assisting an offender, but said they did not know what was in the bags stored in their shed. Earlier the court heard from James Ireland, 23, who denies assisting an offender. He said he did not realise he had helped move packages containing body parts until after he was arrested. Nathan Matthews, 28, has admitted killing and dismembering his 16-year-old stepsister, but denies murder and conspiracy to kidnap. Shauna Hoare, 21, of Cotton Mill Lane, Bristol, denies murder and conspiracy to kidnap, a weapons charge, perverting the course of justice and preventing a burial. The trial continues. BBC Scotland revealed in 2013 that no ashes had been offered to the families of infants cremated at Hazlehead over a five-year period. Baby and adult ashes were mixed together and given back to relatives of the adult, while the parents of infants were told there were no ashes. The non-denominational event was held at the city's Mither Kirk from 15:00. The Aberdeen situation followed similar revelations about Mortonhall crematorium in Edinburgh, which had been secretly burying baby ashes for decades.

Valerie Armstrong was a mother of three young children. The police have said she passed away peacefully in hospital on Wednesday night surrounded by her family. A 17-year-old boy is due in Belfast Magistrate's Court on Thursday charged in connection with the incident. A 15-year-old boy has been released on police bail. The collision happened near Mila's Lake in Colin Glen Forest Park. Mrs Armstrong was walking her dog along a pathway near the lake when she was struck by the scrambler. Local priest Fr Vincent Cushnahan, who knew Valerie Armstrong, said: "It's the sudden arbitrary nature of this tragedy which is so shocking. "It has wrenched a young mother, a young wife, from her children, her husband and the local community. "What I understand, when Valerie was a younger person, she had an organ donation card. "Her family are going to respect her wishes to donate her organs, in order to give life to other people, so out of this tragedy will come life. "Three young children, the eldest son being nine years of age and two younger daughters who will find it very difficult to grow up without their mother in their lives," he added. 'Tragedy' Local MLA Jennifer McCann said: "The whole tragedy of this set of circumstances is that there are three young children. "Obviously children that young can't really take it in. "The family know that people are there for them, we are trying to offer as much practical and emotional support as we can and that's all we can do at this time." She added: "We had a series of meetings yesterday and we will be having more meetings tomorrow to try and look at the whole issue of scramblers and quads to try and get them off the streets because of the danger that they pose to people." Two months after the BeatBullying Group shutdown its services, there are calls for an investigation into how and why this happened. Anti-bullying charities, former employees and young service users are all demanding answers. The Charity Commission says it's their intention to publish a full report next year. The BeatBullying Group looked after both the anti-bullying charity BeatBullying and the mental health charity MindFull UK. Back in October bosses admitted it was having money problems, and agreed to call in an administrator in a bid to keep the company running. Since then though the charity has gone into voluntary liquidation with debts of more than £1 million. Board trustees have told Newsbeat they've been advised not to discuss the circumstances that led to its sudden collapse. That silence has been met with frustration from young service users, former employees and other charities. Alex Holmes is the Vice Chair of the Anti-Bullying Alliance. "This was public money and clearly if that hasn't been used effectively there needs to be an investigation into that," he said. "I think there's a real role for the Charity Commission to play here, questions for the trustees to answer and ultimately the management team." Newsbeat has approached the Charity Commission on numerous occasions, but so far they've refused to talk to us. In a statement they said: "We have met the trustees of the charity who have provided us with information about how the charity got into this position. "We are currently analysing this information, along with information from other sources, to determine whether there are any regulatory concerns." Over the past three years the BeatBullying Group's received over £2 million in public funds. In 2011 the Office for Civil Society awarded the charity £1.3 million to expand its services. It also received funding from the Cabinet Office, European Commission and £850,000 donation from ITV's Text Santa Appeal. The broadcaster says they're still seeking legal advice over that donation. Leann used the online chatroom service on both charities websites almost everyday. "I'll never have answers and that's one thing I hate," she said. "I feel quite angry towards everything because it's affected how I trust the new people coming in to my life." And Leann isn't alone. 16-year-old Chloe started having problems at school and began worrying about exams, she didn't want to speak to her friends about it. It was then she turned to Mindfull UK. Chloe said: "They gave you really good advice, pushed you to speak to people and were always just there on a daily basis if you needed them. When the service went offline Chloe said it felt like "someone had died". If you want to talk about bullying, the BBC Advice pages have links to charities which can help. Several former employees who have contacted Newsbeat say the charity was badly run. One told us many staff are still waiting to be paid, while another claims the office became increasingly hostile as money problems continued to mount. It's not clear how many staff are affected, but the 2012 accounts said it employed 44 and had more than 5,000 volunteers. BeatBullying's founder Emma-Jane Cross and former executives Ross Banford and Sarah Dyer have since set up another company called Digital Impacts. Banford told Newsbeat: "We would really like to stress that we would never set up any new organisation that would be in direct competition with any BB Group programme. "We are simply developing a new product and business," he said. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube The police said they have have identified the vehicle, which travelled along O'Neill Road and Church Road. They have appealed to anyone who comes across a suspicious object not to touch or approach it, but to contact police immediately. There no further details. Health minister Mohammad Nasim made the announcement after visiting Mr Bajandar in hospital on Thursday. Mr Bajandar has epidermodysplasia verruciformi, a genetic disease that makes a person susceptible to skin growth. It is popularly known as "tree man disease". He first developed warts 10 years ago. "Initially, I thought that they're harmless," Mr Bajandar told AFP. "There are now dozens of two to three inch roots in both my hands. And there are some small ones in my legs," he said. Mr Bajandar travelled to India to seek treatment, but his family could not afford the cost of operations. Samples of his blood and skin tissue are now being sent to a laboratory in the United States, professor Abul Kalam, a plastic surgeon, told the BBC. He will be treated in Bangladesh when his diagnosis reports are available. Mr Bajandar's is one of only three cases of "tree man disease" in the world, Samanta Lal Sen, director at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, told AFP. "It is the first time we have found such a rare case in Bangladesh," he said. The 24-year-old Spain player conceded a penalty in last week's win at Arsenal and BBC pundit Garth Crooks claimed Liverpool would be relegated if he remained in the team. "Alberto could have done better but I don't really understand what we are talking about," Klopp said. "I cannot be interested in criticism from other people." Moreno's tackle on Theo Walcott for the penalty at the Emirates was described on TV by former England coach Gary Neville as "absolute garbage". Klopp said of the Spanish defender, a £12m signing from Sevilla two years ago: "Are we doing this every time someone's performance isn't very good then we talk about it in a press conference? "He played, so there was a reason for it - that is what I think about and not what other people want me to think." Moreno remains the only specialist left-back at the club after summer target Ben Chilwell opted to sign a new contract with Premier League champions Leicester. However, Klopp says he is not concerned by the position, claiming: "We are not blind and we have other options. Milly [James Milner] can play it really good, we saw that in the Barcelona game. "I had a talk to him as I didn't want to force a new position on an experienced player. "Nathaniel Clyne played it, Trent Alexander plays right full-back so we have options and on a very defensive day Ragnar Klavan can play there. "It is possible to take another [player on a transfer] but only if it is the guy we want." Meanwhile, the German was optimistic the shoulder injury sustained by recent signing Sadio Mane in training would not sideline the former Southampton forward for too long. "It was a challenge with two players up in the air coming down and Sadio fell on his shoulder but it is not that serious," Klopp explained "At this moment I have no idea if he could be available for the weekend [at Burnley] but I don't think it will take a long time. "At the first moment it was not too good but I think it is all OK." Campaigners wanting to leave the EU say such a further enlargement could result in a migration "free-for-all" and pose a "serious and direct threat" to UK public services. Is there any truth in this? Turkey, Serbia, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia all hope to join the European Union. Turkey first approached the European Economic Community - the predecessor to the EU - about membership almost 30 years ago. But progress has been extremely slow. In the case of the others - Macedonia (applied in 2004); Montenegro (2008); Serbia (2009); Albania (2009) - their interest is much more recent. Bosnia only submitted its application earlier this year, while Kosovo has yet to do so officially. Despite the current problems in the EU, membership is still widely coveted. It can bring enormous financial benefits and a fair amount of political prestige, particularly for countries with recent histories of conflict and economic strife. Getting to sit in the room alongside mature democracies and some of the largest economies in the world, when big decisions are taken, is a huge political prize - proven by the fact that EU membership has nearly doubled in the past 15 years. It is impossible to say with any certainty, but the process by which a country applies to join the EU - known as accession - takes years. For Croatia, the newest EU member, which joined the club in 2013, it took eight years. The candidate countries are at different stages and face different obstacles. Detailed negotiations have been taking place with Serbia and Montenegro for several years, while talks with Turkey first began in 2005. Nothing will happen for at least three years, because European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker imposed a five-year moratorium on enlargement in 2014. Seasoned EU-watchers say Montenegro and Serbia are, to coin a phrase, at the front of the queue, while there are major hurdles to overcome with Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo and Macedonia. As for Turkey, the challenges it faces in meeting the membership criteria are so big, and it has become such a thorny issue, that its prospects are receding. In short, yes. Turkey has a customs union with the EU, but its troubled relations with the Republic of Cyprus have always been a unique stumbling block - a situation exacerbated by Cyprus' own admission to the EU in 2004. Turkey would also be the first country with a majority Muslim population to join the EU, in itself a major development. Some see a future advantage for Europe if many young Turkish workers fill jobs, as ageing populations cause the labour force to shrink. But the migrant crisis, caused by the five-year civil war in Syria, has fuelled doubts among those EU politicians who, in principle, have always been in favour of letting Turkey in. More than two million Syrian refugees have fled to Turkey, a country which already had a population of nearly 76 million. EU leaders are desperate to uphold free movement rules, enshrining the right of any EU national to live and work elsewhere in the union. They are nervous that admitting a country of Turkey's size could make this untenable. Under a recent agreement with Turkey to curb the migrant influx to Greece, the EU undertook to "re-energise" the stalled accession talks. But there are major concerns about Turkish human rights violations, including curbs on the media and rule of law - all key issues when judging a country's fitness to join the EU. At the same time, economic hardship, Islamist terror and the migrant crisis have fuelled a nationalist backlash in much of Europe, often expressed as hostility to Islam. Leave campaigners have sought to exploit the uncertainty surrounding future enlargement to reinforce one of their key campaign arguments - that EU membership means the UK cannot control who comes into the country. They are warning that the UK will have to help financially under-write the process of preparing Turkey and other countries for joining the EU. And they say it would give an extra 88 million people - that's the combined populations of the seven candidate countries - the right to live and work in the UK under current rules, and the British public might not even be consulted. Prominent Leave figures such as Michael Gove and Iain Duncan Smith have said future enlargement will put an "unquantifiable strain" on public services that are already under pressure. As evidence of this, they point to the spike in migration after Poland and nine other countries joined the EU in 2004 - when the option of transitional controls was not taken up - and the fact EU migration is driving the current high levels of net migration above 300,000. Even politicians in favour of EU membership, such as Home Secretary Theresa May, have signalled that further enlargement needs to be reconsidered for countries with "poor populations and serious problems with organised crime, corruption and sometimes even terrorism". Successive British government have been, in principle, in support of Turkey joining the EU if it meets the criteria, a position endorsed by David Cameron several times since he became prime minister. But the mood music has definitely changed in recent months. Ministers have emphasised that the UK has the right of veto over future prospective members, while insisting the talks with Turkey and other countries are unlikely to be rushed and, as such, the issue will not come to a head for a while. Last month, George Osborne said a Turkish agreement was "not on the cards any time soon" and insisted the UK would not allow any free movement deal with countries which weren't closely aligned in terms of size and prosperity. Pro-EU campaigners have also pointed out that if the UK votes to leave, it will have no say over the matter and could still find itself bound by freedom of movement rules like Norway, which is outside the EU but part of the European Economic Area.

The exact cause of death is not yet known. Her funeral is set to take place at the Church of the Assumption in Newry, County Down at 12:00 BST. The boy was the third person arrested in connection with the death. A 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man were arrested on Monday. They were released on bail pending further inquiries on Tuesday. Police have said a possible link to drugs is one line of inquiry into the Craigavon Senior High School pupil's death. James Swinstead, 85, from Colchester, was killed when water crashed through restaurant windows on the British ship Marco Polo on 14 February. His widow claimed it was "badly maintained" and other passengers have asked marine lawyers to investigate. The ship's operator said it could not comment during the investigation. The vessel was heading for its home port of Tilbury in Essex at the end of a 42-night voyage when Mr Swinstead died. A number of the other 735 passengers, who were mainly British, were also injured. The ship was inspected at the docks by police and port officials, and after repairs were made, was cleared to continue sailing. Clive Garner, from legal firm Irwin Mitchell, said: "We have spoken to a number of concerned passengers who were injured. "We are beginning an investigation into the incident to determine whether more should have been done to protect passengers and prevent them from being injured." A spokesman for the ship's operator Cruise and Maritime Voyages (CMV) said the company would not comment on the allegations due to ongoing investigations. "CMV consider passenger safety to be of paramount importance and regularly carry thousands of passengers on their cruises without incident," he added. 1789 - French Revolution ends rule of monarchy going back to 9th century; followed by establishment of the First Republic.

President Francois Hollande describes the incident as a "terrorist attack". He was handed over to the German authorities at Zagreb airport and flown to Munich, reported Croatian state TV. Stjepan Djurekovic was murdered in 1983 near Munich, at a time when Mr Perkovic was in the Yugoslav secret service. Croatia was reluctant to hand him over, causing a row which marred its accession to the EU in July 2013. Under pressure from the EU and Germany, it amended its laws, removing a time limit on extraditions under European Arrest Warrants (EAWs). Mr Djurekovic defected from communist Yugoslavia in 1982 after falling out with the government. He went to Germany, where he became active in Croatian nationalist circles. He was murdered in the Bavarian town of Wolfratshausen. Mr Perkovic, 68, was then an intelligence officer with the Yugoslav secret service in Germany. He has repeatedly denied any involvement in the murder. After Croatia broke away from Yugoslavia in 1991, Mr Perkovic headed Croatian military intelligence. In 2005, Germany issued an international warrant for his arrest. He was detained on 1 January as the amended Croatian law came into effect. Last Friday, a Croatian court rejected his final appeal against extradition. "We have to respect the independent judiciary, and that's it," said President Ivo Josipovic, whose security adviser is Mr Perkovic's son Sasa. Croatia became the EU's 28th member state on 1 July, after years of negotiations and wide-ranging adoption of the EU acquis - the bloc's huge rulebook. Justice was one of the areas where the Commission was most critical of Croatia - it demanded sweeping changes to fight corruption and legal abuses before admitting Croatia as a member. It's 80 years since Monopoly was released in France and the makers of the game have sent out the new copies to attract some attention.

LG showed off a set that can be fitted almost flat against a wall while Samsung teased a new kind of TV - designed to look like a painting - that displays art when not in use. Samsung also unveiled a flagship set boasting greater brightness levels than before. Others, including Sony, also revealed new models. Samsung's flagship 75in (190cm) QLED 4K TV features the latest version of its quantum dot technology - tiny particles that emit different colours of light. These now feature a metal material that the firm says allows for better colour reproduction. Samsung has decided to stick with a curved display for its high-end models - despite criticism from some experts that viewing angles suffer with such designs. The QLED TV can achieve HDR (high dynamic range) brightness of between 1,500 and 2,000 nits - one nit equalling the light from a candle. "It's insanely bright," said Jack Wetherill, a tech analyst at Futuresource. "That is pretty power hungry one would imagine, but if they're going down the route of getting as good a picture as they can out of it, then fair enough." This sets it apart from other set makers who use another premium TV screen technology, OLED (organic light-emitting diode). Such screens use a carbon-based film allowing the panel to emit its own light, rather than being backlit - this enables the ultra thin designs. Quantum dot TVs might not be able to display the deepest blacks possible with OLED, but they are generally brighter. LG's new OLED 4K TV was as thin as last year's - just 2.57mm thick - and will be available in 65 and 77in models. But the firm has now designed a new mount that uses magnets so the set can be fixed flat against a wall, which the firm says means it doesn't cast "a single shadow". LG also announced its latest TVs would support four HDR formats - including Hybrid Log-Gamma jointly developed by the BBC and the Japanese broadcaster NHK. This will allow sport and other live broadcasts to be shown in the format. Many experts agree that HDR makes a huge difference to the TV picture, making it seem richer and allowing for higher levels of contrast between light and dark tones. "It is more vibrant, the colours are more distinctive," said Mr Wetherill. "It does bring a much more impressive and immersive experience - no question about that." It is not yet clear which format will become popular with content-makers, so LG's inclusion of all four should ensure it does not become obsolete if and when a winner emerges. Samsung also showed off images of its new Lifestyle TV, which it described as "a beautiful, always-on, truly smart display that transforms the TV to art". It comes in a wooden frame, in an attempt to look like a painting. Sony also announced a new 4K OLED TV - its first - the latest in its Bravia range. As well as an HDR processor that can upscale standard dynamic range content to "near 4K HDR quality", the set has also dispensed with in-built speakers. Instead, it emits sound via vibrations produced on the surface of the screen itself. This wasn't demonstrated at the press conference, noted Mr Wetherill, but it was, he said, "an interesting concept". Panasonic did not discuss its OLED TV plans at its press conference, though it is possible a prototype will be on the CES trade show floor. At last year's consumer electronics show IFA in Berlin, the company had said it would release details of the TV during the winter.

"We've got a very good team now and we're going to try and win the tournament," Wright told BBC Guernsey. "We've got a young exciting squad now, and it's time to start turning some of that potential into results." He continued: "As always we're aiming to get promoted, like I imagine every team is who's going there." Guernsey will host a Twenty20 match and two one-day games against the Dutch at the King George V Club. Director of cricket Wright will be without all-rounder Matt Stokes for the triple-header, while teenage bowler Will Fazakerley remains with Leicestershire, where he has a professional deal. "It's given a few of our emerging players, and some of the lads on the fringe, to actually get in against a team like this," he added. "If they go well then they can start pushing to get that first-team spot for when we go off to South Africa. "As a sportsman you always want to try and test yourself against the best people you can, and that's why we're trying to more cricket on the island." The future of schemes has been in sharp focus during the year in cases such as the collapse of BHS and the future of steelworkers' retirement deals. The Pension Protection Fund (PPF), the sector's lifeboat scheme, said the collective deficit was little changed. But fluctuations since the Brexit vote and the economy would create problems. "When we look back at what progress schemes have made over the last decade, it appears that many schemes are just treading water," said Andrew McKinnon, chief financial officer for the PPF. "The average recovery plan length, at around eight years, has barely improved, which brings home the challenge we now face. "The current economic backdrop, as well as scrutiny faced by the entire industry, suggests conditions will remain tough in 2017." The PPF said that the collective deficit of the UK's 5,794 final salary schemes was £222bn at the end of March, little changed from a year earlier. However, there had been significant fluctuation since the UK referendum on membership of the EU in June, owing to the effect on investments and the value of the pound. There are two major concerns for final-salary pension schemes, experts agree. The first is that people are living for longer. That makes pensions more expensive for companies, because they are paying pensioners for longer. The second is the uncertain economic outlook. Pension schemes rely on the contributions from employees being successfully invested. Pension funds had attempted to diversify and lower the risk of these investments, the PPF said, by buying government bonds. They had also increasingly bought assets from outside of the UK. "Pension schemes used to be owners of UK companies as well as being funded by them," said Tom McPhail, head of retirement policy at Hargreaves Lansdown. "Pensions being used to help finance the growth in British companies is becoming a thing of the past; instead our savings are either being lent to the government or invested abroad." Mr Mattis is expected to use the visit to reassure Seoul of continuing US commitment to security deals in the face of threats from North Korea. While campaigning, Donald Trump accused South Korea and Japan of not paying enough for US military support. He also suggested they could be allowed to arm themselves with nuclear weapons. Both Japan and South Korea rejected this idea. On the campaign trail, Mr Trump also said he was willing to talk to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, contradicting longstanding US, South Korean and Japanese policy. Mr Mattis will be in South Korea until Friday, and will hold talks with his Korean counterpart, Han Min-koo, among other officials. The Pentagon said the visit would "underscore the commitment of the United States to our enduring alliances with Japan and the Republic of Korea, and further strengthen US-Japan-Republic of Korea security cooperation". Mr Mattis told reporters he would discuss the planned deployment of a US missile defence system in South Korea, and North Korea's nuclear programme. Secretary Mattis has indicated he will emphasise that US alliances in East Asia will remain strong. But what the Trump administration will do about the North Korean nuclear arsenal remains unclear. There is a view in South Korea that Mr Obama's policy of "strategic patience" (squeeze Pyongyang and wait for it to buckle) has not worked, and that a deal may have to be done with Kim Jong-un. Nobody thinks, though, that the North Korean leader is going to give up on his plans to have effective nuclear weapons. Any deal would probably have to accept that it gets the bomb but then agrees to limit its development and that of missiles to fire them. Would Mr Trump buy that? The visit comes amid increasing threats from North Korea that it is ready to test-fire a new intercontinental ballistic missile at any time. Under the Obama administration, the US and South Korea agreed to the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defence system to defend the South from North Korean missiles. But the move has angered China, which says it threatens its own security and goes "far beyond the defence needs of the Korean peninsula". There are just under 28,500 US military personnel based in South Korea, as part of a post-war arrangement. South Korea pays about $900m (£710m) annually towards the deployment. On Friday, Mr Mattis will travel to Japan, for talks with Defence Minister Tomomi Inada. There are a further 50,000 soldiers plus their dependents and support staff in Japan. The US pays about $5.5bn for its Japanese bases in 2016, with Japan paying a further $4bn. A competition launched on the health ministry's website offers up to $1,000 (£780) for the best videos tackling "gender confusion". Responding to an outcry from LGBT activists, the health ministry said that its aim was to promote creativity, not to discriminate. The contest is for 13- to 24-year-olds. Their entries should explore prevention and control; issues and consequences; and how to get help, said the ministry's website. In a statement, Deputy Director-General of Health Lokman Hakim Sulaiman said: "This creative video competition is purely to tap knowledge and creativity of adolescents on sexual and reproductive health related matters and does not intend to create discrimination to any particular group." The competition, which closes at the end of August, has three main categories: gender confusion, sex, and sex and the internet. The guidelines cited gay and lesbian people, transgender people and tomboys as examples of people who suffered from "gender confusion". "The very fact that they lump LGBT people under a category called 'gender confusion' shows that the authorities are very much confused themselves," activist Pang Khee Teik told AFP news agency. "It is mind-blowing that a government agency wants the whole country to be sucked into its confluence of confusion," he said. "I was shocked. This is encouraging discrimination, hatred and even violence towards the minorities," transgender activist Nisha Ayub told Reuters. Homosexual activity is illegal in Malaysia under both secular and religious laws. It is punishable by a prison sentence or corporal punishment. In March, the release of Disney's Beauty and the Beast was postponed in the country, because it contained a "gay moment". Despite demands from the Malaysian censorship board, Disney refused to remove the scene, featuring LeFou, their first openly gay character. The Malaysian board eventually conceded and it was shown uncut. A prominent Malaysian opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, was jailed for sodomy in 2014, after a court overturned his earlier acquittal. In elections in 2013, he led a three-party alliance which posed the strongest-ever challenge to the coalition which has governed Malaysia for more than half a century. The Wire were up 22-4 at the break thanks to tries from Ben Currie, Tom Lineham, Kevin Penny and Stefan Ratchford, with Dom Manfredi replying. Free-scoring winger Manfredi completed his hat-trick with a second-half double as Wigan improved after the break. However, the visitors scored again through Ryan Atkins to seal the points. Wigan were unbeaten in 21 months on home turf in Super League before last month's defeat by Widnes, but have now lost twice this term and trail Warrington by two points. Shaun Wane's side gave a debut to Jack Higginson amid their injury concerns, and saw influential captain Sean O'Loughlin limp off at half-time with a hamstring problem. Meanwhile, Warrington gave a fine performance to cement their early title ambitions, and win their first game in five at the DW. Atkins' score was his fourth in as many games, but Warrington also lost two key personnel in Chris Sandow to a hamstring issue of his own and Rhys Evans with a shoulder problem. Warrington coach Tony Smith: "I couldn't care less if Wigan were going to win it, I was worried about my players. It was tough, we couldn't rotate them after losing those two players in the first half. "We had a number of players who shouldn't have been on there after a while with some of the knocks they took. "I saw the determination of the players - they weren't going to let it slip. Their defence was enormous tonight." Wigan coach Shaun Wane: "We didn't start well, we were a little bit soft in that early period, but overall I am very proud of the effort. "With the players we have out and the situation we are in it was a really good effort against a strong Warrington team. They were the best team and deserved to win. "I thought we could have sneaked it, there were a couple of periods in the second half when there were some poor decisions from the officials where they missed things - and it put us under pressure." Wigan Warriors: Sarginson; Manfredi, Higginson, Gildart, Charnley; O'Loughlin, Smith, Mossop, Powell, Clubb, J. Tomkins, Farrell, Burke. Replacements: Tautai, Sutton, Isa, Gregson. Warrington: Russell; Penny, R. Evans, Atkins, Lineham; Gidley, Sandow; Hill, Clark, Sims, Currie, Hughes, Westwood. Replacements: Ratchford, Westerman, G. King, Cox. Referee: Robert Hicks (RFL) Niall McGinn gave the visitors the lead when he chipped the ball over goalkeeper Rui Patricio after good work by Jonny Evans and Kyle Lafferty. The Portuguese dominated the game but Northern Ireland defended stoutly until Helder Postiga turned and struck home the equaliser after 79 minutes. The result will rank as one of Northern Ireland's best-ever away performances. Portugal, who are ranked third in the world, had several chances to level but Michael O'Neill's side held on to earn a deserved draw. Northern Ireland came into the game with a poor record of just one win in their last 18 matches and two victories in their last 29, but had the backing of almost 1,200 supporters in the Dragao Stadium in Porto. O'Neill made four changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Luxembourg last month, with Craig Cathcart, Oliver Norwood, Corry Evans and Niall McGinn coming into the team. Three of the changes were enforced as Gareth McAuley was suspended and Chris Brunt and Shane Ferguson injured, while Dean Shiels dropped to the bench. Portugal boasted six points from their opening three qualifying fixtures, but were keen to return to winning ways after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Russia in Moscow on Friday. The Portuguse started the match brightly and Postiga just failed to get a touch after Miguel Lopes fired the ball into the penalty area. Cristiano Ronaldo, winning his 100th cap, fired a right-foot effort just wide soon after. Northern Ireland came more into the game and Norwood's low, 25-yard free-kick went into the arms of Rui Patricio. The visitors took a shock, yet deserved lead, on the half hour when Evans played the ball forward to Lafferty, who found McGinn. The Aberdeen winger took one touch before chipping the ball over the advancing home goalkeeper for his first international goal. Norwood then attempted a cheeky lob over the head of Rui Patricio, but the keeper managed to retreat just in time to collect the ball. At the other end, Cathcart almost scored an own-goal as the ball ricocheted off his leg on to the bar, while Joao Pereira shot wide as the Euro 2012 semi-finalists began to pile on the pressure. Some heroic defending saw O'Neill's side go in ahead at half-time, but Portugal came close at the start of the second period when Ruben Micael's long-range strike went narrowly over the bar. Postiga forced Northern Ireland keeper Roy Carroll into a save, but the flag was already up for offside, and then Ronaldo met Nani's cross but Carroll was equal to the task as he saved the Real Madrid forward's shot with his legs. The Olympiakos goalkeeper was again called into action to palm away a fierce drive from substitute Ruben Amorim, while Steven Davis skewed the ball over his own bar as the desperate rearguard action continued. Ronaldo closed in on goal again but Aaron Hughes made a crucial block to deny the striker a 38th international goal. Carroll twice denied Postiga, but the striker found the net 11 minutes from time when the ball fell to him in the area and he whipped the ball into the back of the net from close range. In the closing minutes, Carroll made yet another fine stop from Silvestre Varela, Nani fired inches wide and the outstanding Evans made a vital intervention to clear Eder's dangerous cross into the area. Northern Ireland have two points from their opening three fixtures and face Azerbaijan in their next qualifying game in Belfast on 14 November. Claire turned 16 just four days before she was brutally stabbed to death by Ash-Smith in an alleyway, as she walked to a friend's house in Greenhithe, Kent, on the evening of 18 January 1993. The Dartford Grammar School for Girls pupil was in the middle of sitting her mock GCSE exams and was planning to chat to her friend about her options for the next academic year. Ash-Smith was found guilty of Claire's murder on Thursday at Inner London Crown Court. Known as "Tilt" to her friends, she had dreams of becoming a firefighter. "That was her obsession. She lived it night and day," said her best friend Lisa Gribbin. Claire was the only child of Linda and Cliff Tiltman. They worshipped their daughter and were devastated by her death but both died of cancer without ever seeing her killer convicted - Mrs Tiltman in 2008, aged 56, and her husband in 2012, aged 63. They had regularly appealed for help to find Claire's killer and had long suspected it could have been Ash-Smith, who was known to the family and had been jailed for two other knife attacks on women, in which both victims survived. Friends who were with Mr Tiltman at the end of his life described him as a "totally broken man", who was still waiting for closure. Ms Gribbin said the bond between Claire and her parents had been one of the "strongest and closest relationships" she had ever seen. "Her parents were her idols and, amazingly for the age we were, she was never embarrassed to say that or show it," she recalled. Ms Gribbin said attending the trial of Ash-Smith had been very important as, without her family, Claire "really needed someone in that courtroom for her". "It's been awful to hear what happened to her but we needed to know. "We still don't know why it happened but we needed to know what happened," she said. Another school friend, Joanne Roberts, said the memories of the day Claire had been murdered had never faded and it had been important to keep her memory alive. "It was very traumatic at the time, we were very young and it was right on top of exams," Ms Roberts said. "Because no-one was ever brought to justice we never got answers - so it became something we were always thinking about." Ms Gribbin added: "You couldn't move on from it until you had the answers. "It was hard because one minute she was just there and then she was just gone. "All of a sudden your life was just completely changed... it destroyed her whole family - her grandparents, her parents, our lives as well," she said. Along with other close friends, Ms Gribbin and Ms Roberts founded the Justice for Claire campaign, which has raised funds for the Ellenor Lions Hospice and the Fire Fighters Charity. On the 20th anniversary of her death, they organised a candlelit walk, following the route Claire took on the night she was murdered, to keep the case in the public eye. Ms Gribbin and Ms Roberts said their friend was just a normal 16-year-old girl "who had crushes on boys and wrote it all over her school books, [and] snuck off for a sneaky cigarette". She was also "deeply loyal". The conviction of Ash-Smith finally brings to an end their long fight for justice for their friend and her parents. "But you can't get her back... every day you just want her back," said Ms Gribbin. "What he [Ash-Smith] did was unforgiveable and he took her life, destroyed her parents' lives. "You look back now and you see he was at her funeral and he saw the pain that everybody was suffering that day. "Tilt's grandad collapsed in the middle of the aisle... and he sat through that in silence," she recalled. Ms Roberts added the verdict meant they could now "reclaim" their friend and their memories. "It's not the murdered schoolgirl of Greenhithe anymore, she'll be our Tilt again."

Some 2,700 raids have been conducted since the attacks, with 360 people placed under house arrest across France, the AFP news agency reports. Police have also arrested two people in northern France suspected of supplying weapons to one of the gunmen in January attacks, reports say. They were taken in for questioning. The 29-year-old man arrested on Tuesday was planning to travel to Syria, according to one French media report. Paris November attacks: The unanswered questions Who were the Paris November attackers? Is bashing Belgium over Paris attacks justified? The Paris prosecutor's office says the two people arrested in northern France were held on suspicion of helping to provide guns to Amedy Coulibaly, who attacked a kosher supermarket in January. The prosecutor's office confirmed that the man arrested was Claude Hermant, who is known to have links to far-right groups, while the other is his partner. Coulibaly killed four people inside the supermarket, and separately a policewoman, before dying in a shootout with police. Charlie Hebdo attack: Three days of terror Separately, two independent eyewitnesses have told the BBC that they saw the ringleader of November's Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, on the Greek island of Leros in October, placing him there at the same time as two Stade de France suicide bombers travelled through. These sightings support French newspaper reports on Monday, quoting French and Moroccan security officials, who said this was highly likely, reports the BBC's Gavin Lee in Leros. It is known that the two Stade de France bombers arrived on Leros aboard smugglers' boats on 3 October, then left for Athens with four other men, who have not been seen since. A travel agent in Leros, who unwittingly sold the two bombers ferry tickets to Athens, says he is reasonably sure he also served Abaaoud, who stood out from hundreds of other migrants because he spoke French. A trustee at the main island hospital also claims Abaaoud came to the hospital to be treated for a minor leg wound. He claims Abaaoud appeared nervous and suspicious, and offered a €100 (£73; $110) bribe to jump the treatment queue. Belgian and French officials say Abaaoud, a Belgian Islamist of Moroccan descent, organised November's attacks which killed 130 people. He was known to have been living in Athens in January this year, but fled to Syria after a failed attempt by Belgian police to catch him.

French police have arrested a man in the Paris region as part of the investigation into the 13 November attacks in the city, sources say.
